                                     PART I
Item 1.  Business

Regency Realty Corporation ("Regency" or "Company") acquires, owns, develops and
manages neighborhood shopping centers in targeted infill markets. As of December
31, 1998, Regency owned, directly or indirectly, 129 properties in the eastern
half of the United States, containing approximately 14.7 million square feet of
gross leasable area ("GLA").

As of December 31, 1998, Regency had an investment in real estate of
approximately $1.3 billion and approximately 58% of Regency's GLA was located in
Georgia and Florida. Regency's shopping centers (excluding centers under
development) were approximately 93% leased as of December 31, 1998.

On February 26, 1999, Regency's shareholders approved the merger of Pacific
Retail Trust ("Pacific") into the Company in a stock for stock transaction (0.48
Regency share for 1 Pacific share). At December 31, 1998, Pacific owned 71
retail shopping centers that are operating or under construction containing 8.4
million SF of GLA. The total cost to acquire Pacific is expected to be $1.157
billion based on the value of Regency shares issued, the assumption of $379
million of outstanding debt and other liabilities, and estimated transaction
costs. Pacific's shopping centers are located primarily in California and Texas.

The Company, a Florida corporation organized in 1993, commenced operations as a
real estate investment trust (REIT) in 1993 with the completion of its initial
public offering, and was the successor to the real estate business of The
Regency Group, Inc. which had operated since 1963.

Regency formed Regency Centers, L.P. (RCLP), a limited partnership and a public
registrant, in 1996, and consolidated substantially all of its retail shopping
centers into RCLP during 1998. RCLP is now the primary entity through which
Regency owns its properties and through which Regency intends to expand its
ownership and operation of retail shopping centers. At December 31, 1998,
Regency owned approximately 96% of the outstanding operating partnership units
of RCLP. Regency, the general partner of RCLP, fully controls the operating and
investing decisions and activities of RCLP, and accordingly, the following
discussion of Regency's business also includes the business of RCLP.

Operating and Investment Philosophy

Regency's key operating and investment objective is to create long-term
shareholder value by:

     o     growing its high quality real estate portfolio of grocery-anchored
           neighborhood shopping centers in attractive infill markets,

     o     maximizing the value of the portfolio through its "Retail
           Operating System," developed in conjunction with Security Capital
           Holdings, S.A. ("SC-USREALTY"), which incorporates research based
           investment strategies, value-added leasing and management systems,
           and customer-driven development programs, and

     o     using conservative financial management and Regency's substantial
           capital base to access the most cost effective capital to fund
           Regency's growth.

Management believes that the key to achieving its objective is its single focus
on, and growing critical mass of, quality grocery-anchored neighborhood shopping
centers. In the opinion of management, Regency's premier platform of shopping
centers in targeted markets, its proprietary research capabilities, its value
enhancing Retail Operating System, its cohesive and experienced management team
and its access to competitively priced capital enable it to maintain a
competitive advantage over other operators.

Regency believes that ownership of the approximately 30,000 shopping centers
throughout the United States is highly fragmented, with less than 10% owned by
REITs, and that many centers are held by unsophisticated and undercapitalized
owners. Regency has identified approximately 1,000 centers in its target markets
as potential acquisition opportunities, of which less than 10% are owned by
REITs. As a result, Regency believes that an opportunity exists for it to be a
consolidating force in the industry. In addition, Regency believes that through
proprietary demographic research and targeting, its portfolio and tenant mix can
be customized for and marketed to national and regional retailers, thereby
producing greater sales and a value-added shopping environment for both retailer
and shopper.

Regency's shopping center properties feature some of the most attractive
characteristics in the industry:

     o        an average age of 8 years,

     o        an average remaining grocery-anchor lease term of 14 years, and

     o        an average  grocery-anchor  size of 49,000 square feet (43% of the
            square footage of the  grocery-anchored centers on average).

Grocery-Anchored Infill Strategy

Regency focuses its investment strategy on grocery-anchored infill shopping
centers. Infill locations are situated in densely populated residential
communities where there are significant barriers to entry, such as zoning
restrictions, growth management laws or limited availability of sites for
development or expansions. Regency is focused on building a platform of
grocery-anchored neighborhood shopping centers because grocery stores provide
convenience shopping for daily necessities, generate foot traffic for adjacent
"side shop" tenants and should be better able to withstand adverse economic
conditions. By developing close relationships with the leading supermarket
chains, Regency believes it can attract the best "side shop" merchants and
enhance revenue potential.

Research Driven Market Selection

Regency has identified 21 markets in the eastern half of the United States as
target markets. These markets were selected because, in general, they offer
greater growth in population, household income and employment than the national
averages. In addition, Regency believes that it can achieve "critical mass" in
these markets (defined as owning or managing 4 to 5 shopping centers) and that
it can generate sustainable competitive advantages, through long-term leases to
the predominant grocery-anchor and other barriers to entry from competition.
Within these markets, Regency's research staff further defines and selects
submarkets and trade areas based on additional analysis of the above data.
Regency then identifies target properties and their owners (including
development opportunities) within these submarkets and trade areas based on
3-mile radius demographic data and ranks potential properties for purchase. The
properties currently owned by Regency are in submarkets with an average 3-mile
population of 69,000, average household income of $62,000 and projected 5-year
population growth of 12%.

Retail Operating System

Regency's  Retail  Operating  System drives its value-added  operating strategy.
Its Retail  Operating  System is characterized by:

     o        proactive leasing and management;

     o        value enhancing remerchandising initiatives;

     o        Regency's "preferred customer initiative"; and

     o        a customer-driven development and redevelopment program.

a)       Proactive leasing and management

Regency's integrated approach to property management strengthens its leasing and
management efforts. Property managers are an integral component of the
acquisition and integration teams. Thorough, candid tenant interviews by
property managers during acquisition due diligence allow Regency to quickly
assess both problem areas as well as opportunities for revenue enhancement prior
to closing. Property managers are responsible not only for the general
operations of their centers, but also for coordinating leasing efforts, thereby
aligning their interests with Regency's. In addition, Regency's information
systems allow managers to spot future lease expirations and to proactively
market and remerchandise spaces several years in advance of such expirations.

b)       Value enhancing remerchandising initiatives

Regency believes that certain shopping centers under serve their customers,
reducing foot traffic and negatively affecting the tenants located in the
shopping center. In response, Regency is initiating a remerchandising program
directed at obtaining the optimum mix of tenants offering goods, personal
services and entertainment and dining options in each of its shopping centers.
By re-tenanting shopping centers with tenants that more effectively service the
community, Regency expects to increase sales, and therefore the value of its
shopping centers.

c)       Preferred customer initiative

Regency has established a preferred customer initiative with dedicated personnel
whose goal is to establish new or strengthen existing strategic relationships
with successful retailers at the national, regional and local levels. Regency
achieves this goal by establishing corporate relationships, negotiating standard
lease forms and working with the preferred customers to match expansion plans
with future availability in Regency's shopping centers. Regency monitors retail
trends and the operating performance of these preferred customers. Management
expects the benefits of the preferred customer initiative to improve the
merchandising and performance of the shopping centers, establish brand
recognition among leading operators, reduce turnover of tenants and reduce
vacancies. Regency currently has identified and is developing relationships with
45 preferred customers, including Radio Shack, GNC, Hallmark Cards, Mailboxes,
Etc. and Starbucks Coffee, and continues to target additional tenants with which
to establish preferred customer relationships.

d)       Customer-driven development and redevelopment program

Regency conducts its development and redevelopment program in close cooperation
with its major customers, including Kroger, Publix and Eckerd. Regency uses its
development capabilities to service its customer's growth needs by building or
re-developing modern properties with state of the art supermarket formats that
generate higher returns for Regency under new long-term leases. In 1998, Regency
began development on 21 retail projects, including new developments,
redevelopments and build-to-suits and upon completion, Regency will have
invested $152 million in these projects. During 1997, Regency began development
on 16 retail projects, including new developments, redevelopments and
build-to-suits and upon completion, Regency will have invested $87 million in
these projects. Regency manages its development risk by obtaining signed anchor
leases prior to beginning construction.

Acquisition Track Record

Regency has grown its asset base significantly through acquisitions over the
last several years, acquiring properties totaling $384.3 million in 1998, $395.7
million in 1997 and $107.1 million in 1996. Through these acquisitions, Regency
has diversified geographically from its predominantly Florida-based portfolio
and established a presence in many of its target markets. Upon identifying an
acquisition target, Regency utilizes expertise from all of its functional areas,
including acquisitions, due diligence and property management, to determine the
appropriate purchase price and to develop a business plan for the center and
design an integration plan for the management of the center. Regency believes
that its established acquisition and integration procedures produce higher
returns on its portfolio, reduce risk and position Regency to capitalize on
consolidation in the shopping center industry.

Capital Strategy

Regency intends to maintain a conservative capital structure designed to enhance
access to capital on favorable terms, to allow growth through development and
acquisition and to promote future earnings growth, however, neither Regency
Realty Corporation's nor Regency Centers, L.P.'s organizational documents limit
the amount of debt that may be incurred. Limitations have been established
within the covenants of certain loan agreements related to the Partnership's
line of credit and medium term notes.

As of December 31, 1998, Regency had secured and unsecured debt of $309.2
million and $238.9 million, respectively. Substantially all of Regency's debt is
cross-defaulted, but not cross-collateralized. Pursuant to Regency's $300
million unsecured line of credit (increased to $635 million with the merger of
Pacific Retail Trust), Regency is required to comply, and is complying with
certain financial and other covenants customary with this type of unsecured
financing. These financial covenants include (1) maintenance of minimum net
worth, (2) ratio of total liabilities to gross asset value, (3) ratio of secured
indebtedness to gross asset value, (4) ratio of EBITDA to interest expense, (5)
ratio of EBITDA to debt service and reserve for replacements, and (6) ratio of
unencumbered net operating income to interest expense on unsecured indebtedness.
In addition, Regency may not enter into a negative pledge agreement with another
lender and may not incur other floating rate debt in excess of 25% of gross
asset value without interest rate protection. The line is used primarily to
finance the acquisition and development of real estate, but is also available
for general working capital purposes.

Since Regency's initial public offering in 1993, Regency has financed its growth
in part through a series of public and private offerings of Regency equity and
RCLP units totaling, as of December 31, 1998, approximately $677 million,
including the utilization by RCLP of its units as consideration for
acquisitions. RCLP units (with the exception of Series A preferred units) issued
and owned by limited partners are convertible into Regency common stock on a one
for one basis, and receive quarterly distributions equal to the dividends paid
on each Regency common share.

Risk Factors Relating to Ownership of Regency Common Stock

The Company is subject to certain business risks arising in connection with
owning real estate which include, among others:

     o        the  bankruptcy or insolvency  of, or a downturn in the business 
              of, any of its major tenants could reduce cash flow,

     o        the possibility that such tenants will not renew their leases as
              they expire or renew at lower rental rates could reduce cash flow,

     o        vacated anchor space will affect the entire shopping center
              because of the loss of the departed anchor tenant's customer
             drawing power,

     o        poor market conditions could create an over supply of space or a
              reduction in demand for real estate in markets where the Company
              owns shopping centers,

     o        the Company's rapid growth could place strains on its resources,

     o        risks relating to leverage, including uncertainty that the Company
              will be able to refinance its indebtedness, and the risk of higher
              interest rates,

     o        unsuccessful development activities could reduce cash flow,

     o        the Company's inability to satisfy its cash requirements for
              operations and the possibility that the Company may be required to
              borrow funds to meet distribution requirements in order to
              maintain its qualification as a REIT,

     o        potential liability for unknown or future environmental matters
              and costs of compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act,

     o        the risk of uninsured losses, and

     o        unfavorable economic conditions could also result in the inability
              of tenants in certain retail sectors to meet their lease
              obligations and otherwise could adversely affect the Company's
              ability to attract and retain desirable tenants.

Compliance with Governmental Regulations

Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, an
owner or manager of real estate may be liable for the costs of removal or
remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances on such property. These
laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was
responsible for, the presence of the hazardous or toxic substances. The cost of
required remediation and the owner's liability for remediation could exceed the
value of the property and/or the aggregate assets of the owner. The presence of
such substances, or the failure to properly remediate such substances, may
adversely affect the owner's ability to sell or rent the property or borrow
using the property as collateral. Regency has approximately 31 properties that
will require or are currently undergoing varying levels of environmental
remediation. These remediations are not expected to have a material financial
effect on the Company due to financial statement reserves and various
state-regulated programs that shift the responsibility and cost for remediation
to the state.

Competition

The Company believes the ownership of shopping centers is highly fragmented,
with less than 10% owned by REITs. Regency faces competition from other REITs in
the acquisition, ownership and leasing of shopping centers as well as from
numerous small owners. Regency competes for the development of shopping centers
with other REITs engaged in development activities as well as with local,
regional and national real estate developers. Regency develops properties by
applying its proprietary research methods to identify development and leasing
opportunities and by pre-leasing an average of 85% of a center before beginning
construction. Regency competes for the acquisition of properties through
proprietary research that identifies opportunities in markets with high barriers
to entry and higher-than-average population growth and household income. Regency
seeks to maximize rents per square foot by establishing relationships with
supermarket chains that are first or second in their markets and leasing
non-anchor space in multiple centers to national or regional tenants. There can
be no assurance, however, that other real estate owners or developers will not
utilize similar research methods and target the same markets and anchor tenants
that Regency targets or that such entities will successfully control these
markets and tenants to the exclusion of Regency.

Changes in Policies

The Company's Board of Directors determines policies with respect to certain
activities, including its debt capitalization, growth, distributions, REIT
status, and investment and operating strategies. The Board of Directors has no
present intention to amend or revise these policies. However, the Board of
Directors may do so at any time without a vote of the Company's stockholders.

Employees

The Company's headquarters are located in Jacksonville, Florida. The Company
presently maintains offices in which it conducts management and leasing
activities located in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio, and Missouri. As
of December 31, 1998, the Company had approximately 240 employees and believes
that relations with its employees are good.

The Company's leases have lease terms generally ranging from three to five years for tenant space under 5,000 square feet. Leases greater than 10,000 square feet generally have lease terms in excess of five years, mostly comprised of anchor tenants. Many of the anchor leases contain provisions allowing the tenant the option of extending the term of the lease at expiration. The Company's leases provide for the monthly payment in advance of fixed minimum rentals, additional rents calculated as a percentage of the tenant's sales, the tenant's pro rata share of real estate taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance expenses, and reimbursement for utility costs if not directly metered. The following table sets forth a schedule of lease expirations for the next ten years, assuming that no tenants exercise renewal options: Future Percent of Minimum Percent of Lease Total Rent Total Expiration Expiring Company Expiring Minimum Year GLA GLA Leases Rent (2) ---- --- --- ------ -------- (1) 88,448 0.7% $941,247 0.8% 1999 933,156 7.5% $10,973,054 9.0% 2000 892,964 7.2% $10,484,173 8.6% 2001 1,163,072 9.3% $13,710,368 11.3% 2002 1,212,519 9.7% $13,155,318 10.8% 2003 992,177 8.0% $10,360,431 8.5% 2004 492,469 4.0% $4,018,968 3.3% 2005 254,877 2.0% $2,644,771 2.2% 2006 598,066 4.8% $4,993,560 4.1% 2007 435,154 3.5% $3,853,728 3.2% 2008 759,825 5.9% $5,311,987 4.3% -------------------------------------------------------- 10 Yr Total 7,822,727 60.7% 80,447,605 65.5% -------------------------------------------------------- (1) leased currently under month to month rent or in process of renewal (2) total minimum rent includes current minimum rent and future contractual rent steps for all properties, but excludes additional rent such as percentage rent, common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance reimbursements.

The following describes the registrant's sales of unregistered securities during the periods covered by this report, each sold in reliance on Rule 506 of the Securities Act. During 1998, the Company acquired 32 shopping centers from various entities comprising the Midland Group ("Midland"). The Company's investment in the properties acquired from Midland is $236.6 million at December 31, 1998. As part of the acquisition of Midland, the Company issued 425,982 Operating Partnership Units ("Units") of Regency Centers, L.P. to the Midland principals. Units are exchangeable into Regency common stock on a one for one basis. In addition, during 1999 and 2000, the Company may pay contingent consideration of up to an estimated $23 million, through the issuance of Units and the payment of cash. The amount of such consideration, if issued, will depend on the satisfaction of certain performance criteria relating to the assets acquired from Midland. Transferors who received cash at the initial Midland closing will receive contingent future consideration in cash rather than Units. The acquisition of Midland is discussed further in note 2, Acquisitions of Shopping Centers, of the notes to the 1998 consolidated financial statements. On June 29, 1998, the Company through RCLP issued $80 million of 8.125% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units ("Series A Preferred Units") to Belair Capital Fund LLC in a private placement. The issuance involved the sale of 1.6 million Series A Preferred Units for $50.00 per unit. The Series A Preferred Units, which may be called by the Company at par on or after June 25, 2003, have no stated maturity or mandatory redemption, and pay a cumulative, quarterly dividend at an annualized rate of 8.125%. At any time after June 25, 2008, the Series A Preferred Units may be exchanged for shares of 8.125% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock of the Company at an exchange rate of one share of Series A Preferred Stock for one Series A Preferred Unit. The Series A Preferred Units and Series A Preferred Stock are not convertible into common stock of the Company. In November 1998, the Company acquired Park Place shopping center in exchange for 79,466 Units of Regency Centers, L.P. valued at $26 per Unit plus the assumption of debt secured by Park Place. The Company acquired 35 shopping centers during 1997 (the "1997 Acquisitions") for approximately $395.7 million. Included in the 1997 Acquisitions are 26 shopping centers acquired from Branch Properties ("Branch") for $232.4 million. During 1998, the Company issued 721,997 additional Units and shares of common stock valued at $18.2 million to Branch as contingent consideration for the satisfaction of certain performance criteria of the properties acquired. The Company expects to issue the remaining contingent consideration, 298,064 Units, during 1999. In connection with the Units and shares of common stock issued to Branch in March 1998, SC-USREALTY acquired 435,777 shares at $22.125 per share in accordance with their rights to purchase common stock. The acquisition of Branch is discussed further in note 2, Acquisitions of Shopping Centers, of the notes to the 1998 consolidated financial statements. The Company intends to pay regular quarterly distributions to its common shareholders. Future distributions will be declared and paid at the discretion of the Board of Directors, and will depend upon cash generated by operating activities, the Company's financial condition, capital requirements, annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and such other factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant. The Company anticipates that for the foreseeable future cash available for distribution will be greater than earnings and profits due to non-cash expenses, primarily depreciation and amortization, to be incurred by the Company. Distributions by the Company to the extent of its current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary dividend income. Distributions in excess of earnings and profits generally will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital. Such distributions have the effect of deferring taxation until the sale of a shareholder's common stock. In order to maintain its qualification as a REIT, the Company must make annual distributions to shareholders of at least 95% of its taxable income. Under certain circumstances, which management does not expect to occur, the Company could be required to make distributions in excess of cash available for distributions in order to meet such requirements. The Company currently maintains the Regency Realty Corporation Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan which enables its shareholders to automatically reinvest distributions as well as make voluntary cash payments towards the purchase of additional shares. The Company declares quarterly cash dividends on the 2.5 million Class B common shares outstanding. At December 31, 1998 the Class B common was owned by a single shareholder. During 1998 a distribution of $.5378 per share was paid quarterly. The 2.5 million Class B common shares are convertible into 2,975,468 common shares, subject to certain ownership limitations. Under the loan agreement with the lenders of the Company's line of credit, distributions may not exceed 95% of Funds from Operations ("FFO") based on the immediately preceding four quarters. FFO is defined in accordance with the NAREIT definition as described under Item 7., Management's Discussion and Analysis. Also in the event of any monetary default, the Company will not make distributions to shareholders. Item 6.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto of Regency Realty Corporation ("Regency" or "Company") appearing elsewhere within. Organization - ------------ The Company is a qualified real estate investment trust ("REIT") which began operations in 1993. The Company invests in real estate primarily through its general partnership interest in Regency Centers, L.P., ("RCLP" or "Partnership") an operating partnership in which the Company currently owns approximately 96% of the outstanding common partnership units ("Units"). Of the 129 properties included in the Company's portfolio at December 31, 1998, 109 properties were owned either fee simple or through partnerships interests by RCLP. At December 31, 1998, the Company had an investment in real estate, at cost, of approximately $1.3 billion of which $1.1 billion or 86% was owned by RCLP. Shopping Center Business - ------------------------ The Company's principal business is owning, operating and developing grocery anchored neighborhood infill shopping centers. Infill refers to shopping centers within a targeted investment market offering sustainable competitive advantages such as barriers to entry resulting from zoning restrictions, growth management laws, or limited new competition from development or expansions. The Company's properties summarized by state and in order by largest holdings including their gross leasable areas (GLA) follows:
Location December 31, 1998 December 31, 1997 -------- ----------------- ----------------- # Properties GLA % Leased # Properties GLA % Leased ------------ --- -------- ------------ --- -------- Florida 46 5,728,347 91.4% 45 5,267,894 91.5% Georgia 27 2,737,590 93.1% 25 2,539,507 92.4% Ohio 13 1,786,521 93.4% 2 629,920 89.1% North Carolina 12 1,239,783 98.3% 6 554,332 99.0% Alabama 5 516,060 99.0% 5 516,080 99.9% Texas 5 479,900 84.7% - - - Colorado 5 447,569 89.4% - - - Tennessee 4 295,179 96.8% 3 208,386 98.5% Virginia 2 197,324 97.7% - - - Mississippi 2 185,061 97.6% 2 185,061 96.9% Michigan 2 177,929 81.5% - - - South Carolina 2 162,056 100.0% 1 79,743 84.3% Delaware 1 232,752 94.8% - - - Kentucky 1 205,060 95.6% - - - Illinois 1 178,600 86.9% - - - Missouri 1 82,498 99.8% - - - ------------- ---------- ------- ------------ --------- ------ Total 129 14,652,229 92.9% 89 9,980,923 92.8% ============= ========== ======= ============ ========= ======
The Company is focused on building a platform of grocery anchored neighborhood shopping centers because grocery stores provide convenience shopping of daily necessities, foot traffic for adjacent local tenants, and should withstand adverse economic conditions. The Company's current investment markets have continued to offer strong stable economies, and accordingly, the Company expects to realize growth in net income as a result of increasing occupancy in the portfolio, increasing rental rates, development and acquisition of shopping centers in targeted markets, and redevelopment of existing shopping centers. The following table summarizes the four largest grocery tenants occupying the Company's shopping centers at December 31, 1998: Grocery Number of % of % of Annualized Avg Remaining Anchor Stores Total GLA Base Rent Lease Term ------- --------- --------- --------------- ------------- Kroger 36 14.9% 13.8% 19 yrs Publix 33 9.8% 6.9% 13 yrs Winn-Dixie 16 5.1% 3.8% 13 yrs Harris Teeter 4 1.3% 1.7% 11 yrs Acquisition and Development of Shopping Centers - ----------------------------------------------- During 1998, the Company acquired 31 shopping centers fee simple for approximately $355.9 million and also invested $28.4 million in 12 joint ventures ("JV Properties"), for a total investment of $384.3 million in 43 shopping centers ("1998 Acquisitions"). Included in the 1998 Acquisitions are 32 shopping centers acquired from various entities comprising the Midland Group ("Midland"). Of the 32 Midland centers, 31 are anchored by Kroger, and 12 are owned through joint ventures in which the Company's ownership interest is 50% or less. The Company's investment in the properties acquired from Midland is $236.6 million at December 31, 1998. The Company expects to acquire all of the interests in two of the JV Properties for approximately $20.3 million during 1999 which will increase its total investment in the Midland properties to $256.9 million. In addition, during 1999 and 2000, the Company may pay contingent consideration of up to an estimated $23 million, through the issuance of Partnership units and the payment of cash. The amount of such consideration, if issued, will depend on the satisfaction of certain performance criteria relating to the assets acquired from Midland. Transferors who received cash at the initial Midland closing will receive contingent future consideration in cash rather than units. The Company acquired 35 shopping centers during 1997 (the "1997 Acquisitions") for approximately $395.7 million. Included in the 1997 Acquisitions are 26 shopping centers acquired from Branch Properties ("Branch") for $232.4 million. During 1998, the Company issued 721,997 additional Units and shares of common stock valued at $18.2 million to Branch as contingent consideration for the satisfaction of certain performance criteria of the properties acquired. The Company expects to issue the remaining contingent consideration, 298,064 Units, during 1999. Results from Operations - ----------------------- Comparison of 1998 to 1997 Revenues increased $46.0 million or 47% to $143.3 million in 1998. The increase was due primarily to the 1998 and 1997 Acquisitions providing increases in revenues of $37.5 million during 1998. At December 31, 1998, the real estate portfolio contained approximately 14.7 million SF and was 92.9% leased. Minimum rent increased $33.3 million or 47%, and recoveries from tenants increased $7.5 million or 45%. On a same property basis (excluding the 1998 and 1997 Acquisitions, and the office portfolio sold during 1998) gross rental revenues increased $3.4 million or 6.7%, primarily due to higher base rents. Revenues from property management, leasing, brokerage, and development services (service operation segment) provided on properties not owned by the Company were $11.9 million in 1998 compared to $8.4 million in 1997, the increase due primarily to increased brokerage fees and increased activity in construction and development for third parties. During 1998, the Company sold four office buildings and a parcel of land for $30.7 million, and recognized a gain on the sale of $10.7 million. As a result of these transactions the Company's real estate portfolio is comprised entirely of retail shopping centers. The proceeds from the sale were used to reduce the balance of the line of credit. Operating expenses increased $21.8 million or 44% to $71.0 million in 1998. Combined operating and maintenance, and real estate taxes increased $7.9 million or 35% during 1998 to $30.8 million. The increases are due to the 1998 and 1997 Acquisitions generating operating and maintenance expenses and real estate tax increases of $9.4 million during 1998, partially offset by the sale of the office buildings. On a same property basis, operating and maintenance expenses and real estate taxes increased $100,000 or 1%. General and administrative expenses increased 51% during 1998 to $15.1 million due to the hiring of new employees and related office expenses necessary to manage the shopping centers acquired during 1998 and 1997, as well as, the shopping centers the Company began managing for third parties during 1998 and 1997. Depreciation and amortization increased $8.7 million during 1998 or 54% primarily due to the 1998 and 1997 Acquisitions. Interest expense increased to $28.8 million in 1998 from $19.7 million in 1997 or 46% due to increased average outstanding loan balances related to the financing of the 1998 and 1997 Acquisitions on the Line and the assumption of debt. Weighted average interest rates increased 0.1% during 1998. See further discussion under Acquisition and Development of Shopping Centers and Liquidity and Capital Resources. Net income for common stockholders was $50.6 million in 1998 vs. $27.4 million in 1997, a $23.2 million or 85% increase for the reasons previously described. Diluted earnings per share in 1998 was $1.75 vs. $1.23 in 1997 due to the increase in net income combined with the dilutive impact from the increase in weighted average common shares and equivalents of 7.2 million primarily due to the acquisition of Branch and Midland, the issuance of shares to SC-USREALTY during 1998 and 1997, and the public offering completed in July, 1997. (see notes 2, 6 and 7, to the 1998 consolidated financial statements for related discussions). Comparison of 1997 to 1996 Revenues increased $50.4 million or 107% to $97.3 million in 1997. The increase was due primarily to the 1997 Acquisitions and properties acquired in 1996 (the "1996 Acquisitions") providing increases in revenues of $49.8 million during 1997. At December 31, 1997, the real estate portfolio contained approximately 10 million SF and was 92.8% leased. Minimum rent increased $35.4 million or 102%, and recoveries from tenants increased $8.9 million or 115%. On a same property basis (excluding the 1997 and 1996 Acquisitions) revenues increased $925,000 or 2%, primarily due to higher percentage rents and operating expense recoveries from tenants. Revenues from property management, leasing, brokerage, and development services provided on properties not owned by the Company were $8.4 million in 1997 compared to $3.4 million in 1996, the increase due to fees earned from third party property management and leasing contracts acquired as part of the acquisition of Branch. Operating expenses increased $23.0 million or 88% to $49.2 million in 1997. Combined operating and maintenance, and real estate taxes increased $10.8 million or 89% during 1997 to $22.9 million. The increases are due to the 1997 and 1996 Acquisitions generating operating and maintenance expenses, and real estate tax increases of $10.6 million during 1997. On a same property basis, operating and maintenance expenses and real estate taxes increased $226,000, or 2%. General and administrative expense increased 64.7% during 1997 to $10.0 million due to the hiring of new employees and related office expenses necessary to manage the 52 shopping centers acquired during 1996 and 1997, as well as, the 44 shopping centers that the Company began managing for third parties during 1997. Depreciation and amortization increased $8.2 million during 1997 or 102% primarily due to the 1997 and 1996 Acquisitions generating $7.7 million in depreciation and amortization. Interest expense increased to $19.7 million in 1997 from $11.5 million in 1996 or 71% due primarily to increased average outstanding loan balances related to the financing of the 1997 and 1996 Acquisitions on the Line and the assumption of debt. Weighted average interest rates decreased 0.2% during 1997. See further discussion under Acquisition and Development of Shopping Centers and Liquidity and Capital Resources. Net income for common stockholders was $27.4 million in 1997 vs. $9.9 million in 1996, a $17.5 million or 177% increase for the reasons previously described. Diluted earnings per share in 1997 was $1.23 vs. $0.82 in 1996, an increase of 50% due to the increase in net income combined with the dilutive impact from the increase in weighted average common shares and equivalents of 12.4 million primarily due to the Acquisition of the Branch Properties, the issuance of shares to SC-USREALTY, and the public offering discussed previously. Funds from Operations The Company considers funds from operations ("FFO"), as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of income producing property held for investment, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate, and after adjustments for unconsolidated investments in real estate partnerships and joint ventures, to be the industry standard for reporting the operations of real estate investment trusts ("REITs"). Adjustments for investments in real estate partnerships are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. While management believes that FFO is the most relevant and widely used measure of the Company's performance, such amount does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles, should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance, and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs. Additionally, the Company's calculation of FFO, as provided below, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs. FFO increased by 50% from 1997 to 1998 as a result of the activity discussed above under "Results of Operations". FFO for the periods ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 are summarized in the following table (in thousands):
1998 1997 1996 ---- ---- ---- Net income for common stockholders $ 50,590 27,402 9,907 Add (subtract): Real estate depreciation and amortization 24,529 15,671 8,049 Gain on sale of operating property (9,824) (451) - Minority interests in net income of Exchangeable partnership units 1,826 2,042 - ----------- --------- --------- Funds from operations $ 67,121 44,664 17,956 =========== ========= ========= Cash flow provided by (used in): Operating activities $ 65,002 43,044 16,004 Investing activities (236,393) (188,533) (109,842) Financing activities 174,725 153,782 98,730
Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- Management anticipates that cash generated from operating activities will provide the necessary funds on a short-term basis for its operating expenses, interest expense and scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness, recurring capital expenditures necessary to properly maintain the shopping centers, and distributions to share and unit holders. Net cash provided by operating activities was $65 million and $43 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The Company incurred recurring and non-recurring capital expenditures (non-recurring expenditures pertain to immediate building improvements on new acquisitions and anchor tenant improvements on new leases) of $8.3 million and $5.2 million, during 1998 and 1997, respectively. The Company paid scheduled principal payments of $3.4 million and $2.2 million during 1998 and 1997, respectively. The Company paid dividends and distributions of $54.9 million and $35.9 million, during 1998 and 1997, respectively, to its share and unit holders. Management expects to meet long-term liquidity requirements for term debt payoffs at maturity, non-recurring capital expenditures, and acquisition, renovation and development of shopping centers from: (i) excess cash generated from operating activities, (ii) working capital reserves, (iii) additional debt borrowings, and (iv) additional equity raised in the public markets. Net cash used in investing activities was $236.4 million and $188.5 million, during 1998 and 1997, respectively, primarily for purposes discussed above under Acquisitions and Development of Shopping Centers. Net cash provided by financing activities was $174.7 million and $153.8 million during 1998 and 1997, respectively, primarily related to the proceeds from the preferred unit and debt offerings completed during 1998, and the proceeds from the common stock offering in 1997, further discussed below. At December 31, 1998, the Company had 12 shopping centers under construction or undergoing major renovations, with costs to date of $121.7 million. Total committed costs necessary to complete the properties under development is estimated to be $47.4 million and will be expended through 1999. The Company's outstanding debt at December 31, 1998 and 1997 consists of the following (in thousands): 1998 1997 ---- ---- Notes Payable: Fixed rate mortgage loans $ 298,148 199,078 Variable rate mortgage loans 11,051 30,841 Fixed rate unsecured loans 121,296 - ------- ------- Total notes payable 430,495 229,919 Acquisition and development line of credit 117,631 48,131 ------- ------- Total $ 548,126 278,050 ======= ======= The weighted average interest rate on total debt at December 31, 1998 and 1997 was 7.4% and 7.3%, respectively. The Company's debt is typically cross-defaulted, but not cross-collateralized, and includes usual and customary affirmative and negative covenants. The Company is a party to a credit agreement dated as of March 27, 1998, providing for an unsecured line of credit (the "Line") from a group of lenders currently consisting of Wells Fargo, First Union, Wachovia Bank, NationsBank, AmSouth Bank, Commerzbank AG, PNC Bank, and Star Bank. This credit agreement provides for a $300 million commitment, and incorporates a competitive bid facility of up to $150 million of the commitment amount. Maximum availability under the Line is based on the discounted value of a pool of eligible unencumbered assets (determined on the basis of capitalized net operating income) less the amount of the Company's outstanding unsecured liabilities. The Line matures in May 2000, but may be extended annually for one year periods. Borrowings under the Line bear interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR plus a specified spread, (.875% currently), which is dependent on the Company's investment grade rating. The Company's ratings are currently Baa2 from Moody's Investor Service, BBB from Duff and Phelps, and BBB- from Standard and Poors. The Company is required to comply, and is in compliance, with certain financial and other covenants customary with this type of unsecured financing. These financial covenants include among others (i) maintenance of minimum net worth, (ii) ratio of total liabilities to gross asset value, (iii) ratio of secured indebtedness to gross asset value, (iv) ratio of EBITDA to interest expense, (v) ratio of EBITDA to debt service and reserve for replacements, and (vi) ratio of unencumbered net operating income to interest expense on unsecured indebtedness. The Line is used primarily to finance the acquisition and development of real estate, but is also available for general working capital purposes. On February 26, 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with the various banks that provide the Line to increase the unsecured commitment amount to $635 million. On June 29, 1998, the Company through RCLP issued $80 million of 8.125% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units ("Series A Preferred Units") to an institutional investor, Belair Capital Fund, LLC, in a private placement. The issuance involved the sale of 1.6 million Series A Preferred Units for $50.00 per unit. The Series A Preferred Units, which may be called by the Company at par on or after June 25, 2003, have no stated maturity or mandatory redemption, and pay a cumulative, quarterly dividend at an annualized rate of 8.125%. At any time after June 25, 2008, the Series A Preferred Units may be exchanged for shares of 8.125% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock of the Company at an exchange rate of one share of Series A Preferred Stock for one Series A Preferred Unit. The Series A Preferred Units and Series A Preferred Stock are not convertible into common stock of the Company. The net proceeds of the offering were used to reduce the Line. On July 17, 1998 the Company, through RCLP, completed a $100 million offering of seven year term notes at an effective interest rate of 7.17%. The Notes were priced at 162.5 basis points over the current yield for seven year US Treasury Bonds. The net proceeds of the offering were used to reduce the balance of the Line. Mortgage loans are secured by certain real estate properties, but generally may be prepaid subject to a prepayment of a yield-maintenance premium. Mortgage loans are generally due in monthly installments of interest and principal and mature over various terms through 2018. Variable interest rates on mortgage loans are currently based on LIBOR plus a spread in a range of 125 basis points to 150 basis points. Fixed interest rates on mortgage loans range from 7.04% to 9.8%. During 1998, the Company assumed mortgage loans with a fair value of $132.8 million related to the acquisition of shopping centers, which includes debt premiums of $12.4 million based upon the above market interest rates of the debt instruments. Debt premiums are being amortized over the terms of the related debt instruments. As of December 31, 1998, scheduled principal repayments on notes payable and the Line for the next five years were as follows (in thousands): Scheduled Principal Term Loan Total Scheduled Payments by Year Payments Maturities Payments -------------------------- --------- ---------- -------- 1999 $ 3,771 21,579 25,350 2000 3,996 174,674 178,670 2001 3,911 41,928 45,839 2002 3,098 44,117 47,215 2003 2,914 13,291 16,205 Beyond 5 Years 17,811 206,607 224,418 Net unamortized debt payments - 10,429 10,429 ------- ------- ------- Total $ 35,501 512,625 548,126 ======= ======= ======= Unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures had mortgage loans payable of $76.7 million at December 31, 1998, and the Company's proportionate share of these loans was $34.4 million. The Company qualifies and intends to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. As a REIT, the Company is allowed to reduce taxable income by all or a portion of its distributions to stockholders. As distributions have exceeded taxable income, no provision for federal income taxes has been made. While the Company intends to continue to pay dividends to its stockholders, it also will reserve such amounts of cash flow as it considers necessary for the proper maintenance and improvement of its real estate, while still maintaining its qualification as a REIT. The Company's real estate portfolio has grown substantially during 1998 as a result of the acquisitions and development discussed above. The Company intends to continue to acquire and develop shopping centers in the near future, and expects to meet the related capital requirements from borrowings on the Line. The Company expects to repay the Line from time to time from additional public and private equity and debt offerings, such as those completed during 1997 and 1998. Because such acquisition and development activities are discretionary in nature, they are not expected to burden the Company's capital resources currently available for liquidity requirements. The Company expects that cash provided by operating activities, unused amounts available under the Line, and cash reserves are adequate to meet liquidity requirements. Pacific Retail Trust Merger - --------------------------- On September 23, 1998, the Company entered into an Agreement of Merger ("Agreement") with Pacific Retail Trust ("Pacific"), a privately held real estate investment trust. The Agreement, among other matters, provides for the merger of Pacific into Regency, and the exchange of each Pacific common or preferred share into 0.48 shares of Regency common or preferred stock. The stockholders approved the merger at a Special Meeting of Stockholders held February 26, 1999. At the time of the merger, Pacific owned 71 retail shopping centers that are operating or under construction containing 8.4 million SF of gross leaseable area. On February 28, 1999, the effective date of the merger, the Company issued equity instruments valued at $770.6 million to the Pacific stockholders in exchange for their outstanding common and preferred shares, and units. The total cost to acquire Pacific is expected to be $1.157 billion based on the value of Regency shares issued including the assumption of $379 million of outstanding debt and other liabilities of Pacific, and estimated closing costs of $7.5 million. The price per share used to determine the purchase price is $23.325 based on the five day average of the closing stock price of Regency's common stock as listed on the New York Stock Exchange immediately before, during and after the date the terms of the merger were agreed to and announced to the public. The merger will be accounted for as a purchase with the Company as the acquiring entity. New Accounting Standards and Accounting Changes - ----------------------------------------------- The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities " (FAS 133), which is effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. FAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. FAS 133 requires entities to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. The Company does not believe FAS 133 will materially effect its financial statements. g. Environmental Matters - --------------------- The Company like others in the commercial real estate industry, is subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations and the operation of dry cleaning plants at the Company's shopping centers is the principal environmental concern. The Company believes that the dry cleaners are operating in accordance with current laws and regulations and has established procedures to monitor their operations. The Company has approximately 31 properties that will require or are currently undergoing varying levels of environmental remediation. These remediations are not expected to have a material financial effect on the Company due to financial statement reserves and various state-regulated programs that shift the responsibility and cost for remediation to the state. Based on information presently available, no additional environmental accruals were made and management believes that the ultimate disposition of currently known matters will not have a material effect on the financial position, liquidity, or operations of the Company. Inflation - --------- Inflation has remained relatively low during 1998 and 1997 and has had a minimal impact on the operating performance of the shopping centers, however, substantially all of the Company's long-term leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. Such provisions include clauses enabling the Company to receive percentage rentals based on tenants' gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise, and/or escalation clauses, which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases. Such escalation clauses are often related to increases in the consumer price index or similar inflation indices. In addition, many of the Company's leases are for terms of less than ten years, which permits the Company to seek increased rents upon re-rental at market rates. Most of the Company's leases require the tenants to pay their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and utilities, thereby reducing the Company's exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. Year 2000 System Compliance - --------------------------- Management recognizes the potential effect Year 2000 may have on the Company's operations and, as a result, has implemented a Year 2000 Compliance Project. The term "Year 2000 compliant" means that the software, hardware, equipment, goods or systems utilized by, or material to the physical operations, business operations, or financial reporting of an entity will properly perform date sensitive functions before, during and after the year 2000. The Company's Year 2000 Compliance Project includes an awareness phase, an assessment phase, a renovation phase, and a testing phase of our data processing network, accounting and property management systems, computer and operating systems, software packages, and building management systems. The project also includes surveying our major tenants and financial institutions. Total costs incurred to date associated with the Company's Year 2000 compliance project have been reflected in the Company's income statement throughout 1998 and 1997, and were approximately $250,000. The Company's computer hardware, operating systems, general accounting and property management systems and principal desktop software applications are Year 2000 compliant as certified by the various vendors. We are currently testing these systems, and expect to complete the testing phase by June 30, 1999. Based on initial testing, Management does not anticipate any Year 2000 issues that will materially impact operations or operating results. An assessment of the Company's building management systems has been completed. This assessment has resulted in the identification of certain lighting, telephone, and voice mail systems that may not be Year 2000 compliant. While we have not yet begun renovations, Management believes that the cost of upgrading these systems will not exceed $500,000. It is anticipated that the renovation and testing phases will be complete by June 30, 1999, and the Company expects to be compliant upon completion of these phases. The Company has surveyed its major tenants and financial institutions to determine the extent to which the Company is vulnerable to third parties' failure to resolve their Year 2000 issues. The Company will be able to more adequately assess its third party risk when responses are received from the majority of the entities contacted. Management believes its planning efforts are adequate to address the Year 2000 issue and that its risk factors are primarily those that it cannot directly control, including the readiness of its major tenants and financial institutions. Failure on the part of these entities to become Year 2000 compliant could result in disruption in the Company's cash receipt and disbursement functions. There can be no guarantee, however, that the systems of unrelated entities upon which the Company's operations rely will be corrected on a timely basis and will not have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company does not have a formal contingency plan or a timetable for implementing one. Contingency plans will be established, if they are deemed necessary, after the Company has adequately assessed the impact on operations should third parties fail to properly respond to their Year 2000 issues. Item 7a. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Market Risk - ----------- The Company is exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of its line of credit and long-term debt used to maintain liquidity and fund capital expenditures and expansion of the Company's real estate investment portfolio and operations. The Company's interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower its overall borrowing costs. To achieve its objectives the Company borrows primarily at fixed rates and may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, caps and treasury locks in order to mitigate its interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. The Company has no plans to enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes, and at December 31, 1998, the Company did not have any borrowings hedged with derivative financial instruments. The Company's interest rate risk is monitored using a variety of techniques. The table below presents the principal amounts maturing (in thousands), weighted average interest rates of remaining debt, and the fair value of total debt (in thousands), by year of expected maturity to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changes.
Fair 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 Thereafter Total Value ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---------- ----- ----- Fixed rate debt $23,243 60,907 37,027 47,215 16,205 224,418 409,014 419,444 Average interest rate for all debt 7.83% 7.75% 7.91% 7.87% 7.70% 7.62% - - Variable rate LIBOR debt 2,107 117,763 8,813 - - - 128,682 128,682 Average interest rate for all debt 6.16% 6.16% 6.55% - - - - -
As the table incorporates only those exposures that exist as of December 31, 1998, it does not consider those exposures or positions which could arise after that date. Moreover, because firm commitments are not presented in the table above, the information presented therein has limited predictive value. As a result, the Company's ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during the period, the Company's hedging strategies at that time, and interest rates. Forward Looking Statements - -------------------------- The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act") provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. The Company and its representatives may from time to time make written or oral statements that are "forward-looking," including statements contained in this report and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in reports to the Company's stockholders. All statements that express expectations and projections with respect to future matters, including the launching or prospective development of new business initiatives; anticipated yields on real estate acquisitions or developments; "Year 2000" remediation efforts; and environmental remediation efforts, are forward-looking within the meaning of the Act. Such statements involve unknown risks and uncertainties of business and economic conditions pertaining to the operation, acquisition, or development of shopping centers including the retail business sector, and may cause actual results of the Company in the future to significantly differ from any future results that may be implied by such forward-looking statements.

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. F-8 REGENCY REALTY CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1998 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Organization and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Regency Realty Corporation, its wholly owned qualified REIT subsidiaries, and its majority owned or controlled subsidiaries and partnerships (the "Company" or "Regency"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The Company owns approximately 96% of the outstanding common units of Regency Centers, L.P. ("RCLP" or the "Partnership" formerly known as Regency Retail Partnership, L.P.) and partnership interests ranging from 51% to 93% in five majority owned real estate partnerships (the "Majority Partnerships"). The equity interests of third parties held in RCLP and the Majority Partnerships are included in the consolidated financial statements as exchangeable operating partnership units and limited partners' interests in consolidated partnerships, respectively. The Company is a qualified real estate investment trust ("REIT") which began operations in 1993. (b) Revenues The Company leases space to tenants under agreements with varying terms. Leases are accounted for as operating leases with minimum rent recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease regardless of when payments are due. Accrued rents are included in tenant receivables. Minimum rent has been adjusted to reflect the effects of recognizing rent on a straight line basis. Substantially all of the lease agreements contain provisions which provide additional rents based on tenants' sales volume (contingent or percentage rent) or reimbursement of the tenants' share of real estate taxes and certain common area maintenance (CAM) costs. These additional rents are reflected on the accrual basis. On May 22, 1998, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a consensus on Issue 98-9 "Accounting for Contingent Rent in Interim Financial Periods". The EITF has stated that lessors should defer recognition of contingent rent that is based on meeting specified targets until those specified targets are met and not ratably throughout the year. The Company has previously recognized contingent rent ratably over the year based on the historical trends of its tenants. Although the EITF subsequently reversed its original consensus related to contingent rent, the Company has adopted the provisions of Issue 98-9 prospectively and has ceased the recognition of contingent rents until such time as its tenants have achieved their specified target. The effect of the adoption was not material to the financial statements during 1998, since most of the Company's tenants had met their specified targets prior to year end and contingent rents were appropriately recognized. Management, leasing, brokerage and development fees are recognized as revenue when earned. F-9 REGENCY REALTY CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1998 (c) Real Estate Investments Land, buildings and improvements are recorded at cost. All direct and indirect costs clearly associated with the acquisition, development and construction of real estate projects owned by the Company are capitalized as buildings and improvements except for operating properties acquired. Effective March 19, 1998, the EITF ruled in Issue 97-11, "Accounting for Internal Costs Relating to Real Estate Property Acquisitions", that only internal costs of identifying and acquiring non-operating properties that are directly identifiable with the acquired properties should be capitalized, and that all internal costs associated with identifying and acquiring operating properties should be expensed as incurred. The Company had previously capitalized direct costs associated with the acquisition of operating properties as a cost of the real estate. The Company has adopted EITF 97-11 effective March 19, 1998. During 1997, the Company capitalized approximately $1.5 million of internal costs related to acquiring operating properties. Through the effective date of EITF 97-11, the Company has capitalized $855,000 of internal acquisition costs. For the remainder of 1998, the Company incurred approximately $1.5 million of internal costs related to acquiring operating properties which was expensed. Maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the useful lives of the respective assets are reflected in operating and maintenance expense. The property cost includes the capitalization of interest expense incurred during construction in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Depreciation is computed using the straight line method over estimated useful lives up to forty years for buildings and improvements, term of lease for tenant improvements, and five to seven years for furniture and equipment. (d) Income Taxes The Company qualifies and intends to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. As a REIT, the Company is allowed to reduce taxable income by all or a portion of its distributions to stockholders. As distributions have exceeded taxable income, no provision for federal income taxes has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of dividends to stockholders, differ from net income reported for financial reporting purposes primarily because of different depreciable lives and bases of rental properties and differences in the timing of recognition of earnings upon disposition of properties. Regency Realty Group, Inc., the Company's management company subsidiary ("RRG"), is subject to Federal and State income taxes and files separate tax returns. RRG had taxable income of $1,052,233, $918,763 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. RRG incurred Federal and State income tax of $344,833 and $327,021 in 1998 and 1997, respectively, and paid no tax in 1996. F-10 REGENCY REALTY CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1998 (d) Income Taxes (continued) At December 31, 1998 and 1997, the net book basis of real estate assets exceeds the tax basis by approximately $122 million and $39.6 million, respectively, primarily due to the difference between the cost basis of the assets acquired and their carryover basis recorded for tax purposes. The following summarizes the tax status of dividends paid during the years ended December 31 (unaudited): 1998 1997 1996 ---- ---- ---- Dividend per share $1.76 1.68 1.62 Ordinary income 71% 85% 77% Capital gain 2% - - Return of capital 27% 15% 23% (e) Deferred Costs Deferred costs consist of internal and external commissions associated with leasing the rental property and loan costs incurred in obtaining financing which are limited to initial direct and incremental costs. The net leasing commission balance was $3.3 and $1.7 million at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The net loan cost balance was $3.5 and $2.5 million at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Such costs are deferred and amortized over the terms of the respective leases and loans. (f) Earnings Per Share The Company applies the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share" to the computation, presentation, and disclosure requirements of earnings per share. Basic net income per share of common stock is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net income per share also includes common share equivalents for stock options, exchangeable partnership units, and Class B common stock when dilutive. See note 7 for the calculation of earnings per share. (g) Cash and Cash Equivalents Any instruments which have an original maturity of ninety days or less when purchased are considered cash equivalents. (h) Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. F-11 REGENCY REALTY CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1998 (i) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company applies the provisions of SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of". This Statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. Adoption of this Statement did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. (j) Stock Option Plan The Company applies the provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation", which allows companies a choice in the method of accounting for stock options. Entities may recognize as expense over the vesting period the fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant or SFAS No. 123 also permits entities to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share disclosures for employee stock option grants made as if the fair-value-based method defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. APB Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related interpretations states that compensation expense would be recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. The Company has elected to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide the pro forma disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123. (k) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 The FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("FAS 131"), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. FAS 131 establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim and annual financial reports. The Company adopted FAS 131 as disclosed in note 3. (l) Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1997 amounts to conform to classifications adopted in 1998. F-12 REGENCY REALTY CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1998 2. Acquisitions of Shopping Centers During 1998, the Company acquired 31 shopping centers fee simple for approximately $355.9 million and also invested $28.4 million in 12 joint ventures ("JV Properties"), for a total investment of $384.3 million in 43 shopping centers ("1998 Acquisitions"). Included in the 1998 Acquisitions are 32 shopping centers acquired from various entities comprising the Midland Group ("Midland"). Of the 32 Midland centers, 31 are anchored by Kroger, and 12 are owned through joint ventures in which the Company's ownership interest is 50% or less. The Company's investment in the properties acquired from Midland is $236.6 million at December 31, 1998. The Company expects to acquire all of the interests in two of the JV Properties for approximately $20.3 million during 1999 which will increase its total investment in the Midland properties to $256.9 million. In addition, during 1999 and 2000, the Company may pay contingent consideration of up to an estimated $23 million, through the issuance of Partnership units and the payment of cash. The amount of such consideration, if issued, will depend on the satisfaction of certain performance criteria relating to the assets acquired from Midland. Transferors who received cash at the initial Midland closing will receive contingent future consideration in cash rather than units. The Company acquired 35 shopping centers during 1997 (the "1997 Acquisitions") for approximately $395.7 million. Included in the 1997 Acquisitions are 26 shopping centers acquired from Branch Properties ("Branch") for $232.4 million. During 1998, the Company issued 721,997 additional Units and shares of common stock valued at $18.2 million to Branch as contingent consideration for the satisfaction of certain performance criteria of the properties acquired. The Company expects to issue the remaining contingent consideration, 298,064 Units, during 1999. The operating results of the 1998 and 1997 Acquisitions are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements from the date each property was acquired. The following unaudited pro forma information presents the consolidated results of operations as if all 1998 and 1997 Acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 1997. Such pro forma information reflects adjustments to 1) increase depreciation, interest expense, and general and administrative costs, 2) remove the office buildings sold, and 3) adjust the weighted average common shares, and common equivalent shares outstanding issued to acquire the properties. Pro forma revenues would have been $156.4 and $144.4 million in 1998 and 1997, respectively. Pro forma net income for common stockholders would have been $44.5 and $28.0 million in 1998 and 1997, respectively. Pro forma basic net income per share would have been $1.55 and $1.31 in 1998 and 1997, respectively. Pro forma diluted net income per share would have been $1.52 and $1.22, in 1998 and 1997, respectively. This data does not purport to be indicative of what would have occurred had the Acquisitions been made on January 1, 1997, or of results which may occur in the future. F-13 REGENCY REALTY CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1998 3. Segments The Company was formed, and currently operates, for the purpose of 1) operating and developing Company owned retail shopping centers (Retail segment), and 2) providing services including property management, leasing, brokerage, and construction and development management for third-parties (Service operations segment). The Company had previously operated four office buildings, all of which have been sold during 1998 and 1997 (Office buildings segment). The Company's reportable segments offer different products or services and are managed separately because each requires different strategies and management expertise. There are no material inter-segment sales or transfers. The Company assesses and measures operating results starting with Net Operating Income for the Retail and Office Buildings segments and Income for the Service operations segment and converts such amounts into a performance measure referred to as Funds From Operations (FFO). The operating results for the individual retail shopping centers have been aggregated since all of the Company's shopping centers exhibit highly similar economic characteristics as neighborhood shopping centers, and offer similar degrees of risk and opportunities for growth. FFO as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts consists of net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of income producing property held for investment, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate, and adjustments for unconsolidated investments in real estate partnerships and joint ventures. The Company considers FFO to be the industry standard for reporting the operations of real estate investment trusts ("REITs"). Adjustments for investments in real estate partnerships are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. While management believes that FFO is the most relevant and widely used measure of the Company's performance, such amount does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles, should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance, and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs. Additionally, the Company's calculation of FFO, as provided below, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in note 1. The revenues, FFO, and assets for each of the reportable segments are summarized as follows for the years ended as of December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996. Non-segment assets to reconcile to total assets include cash, accounts receivable and deferred financing costs.

F-15 REGENCY REALTY CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1998 4. Investments in Real Estate Partnerships The Company accounts for all investments in which it owns less than 50% and does not have controlling financial interest, using the equity method. The Company's combined investment in these partnerships was $30.6 million and $999,730 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Net income is allocated in accordance with each of the partnership agreements. 5. Notes Payable and Acquisition and Development Line of Credit The Company's outstanding debt at December 31, 1998 and 1997 consists of the following (in thousands): 1998 1997 ---- ---- Notes Payable: Fixed rate mortgage loans $ 298,148 199,078 Variable rate mortgage loans 11,051 30,841 Fixed rate unsecured loans 121,296 - ------- ------- Total notes payable 430,495 229,919 Acquisition and development line of credit 117,631 48,131 ------- ------- Total $ 548,126 278,050 ======= ======= The Company has an acquisition and development line of credit (the "Line") which provides for a commitment up to $300 million, and incorporates a competitive bid facility of up to $150 million of the commitment amount. Maximum availability under the Line is based on the discounted value of a pool of eligible unencumbered assets less the amount of the Company's outstanding unsecured liabilities. The Line, which is unsecured, matures in May 2000, but may be extended annually for one year periods. Borrowings under the Line bear interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR plus a specified spread, (.875% currently), which is dependent on the Company's investment grade rating. The interest rate on the Line was 6.56% at December 31, 1998. The Company's ratings are currently Baa2 from Moody's Investor Service, BBB from Duff and Phelps, and BBB- from Standard and Poors. The Company is required to comply, and is in compliance, with certain financial covenants customary with this type of unsecured financing. The Line is used primarily to finance the acquisition and development of real estate, but is also available for general working capital purposes. On July 17, 1998 the Company through RCLP, completed a $100 million offering of seven year term notes at an effective interest rate of 7.17%. The Notes were priced at 162.5 basis points over the current yield for seven year US Treasury Bonds. The notes are unsecured and mature on July 15, 2005. The net proceeds of the offering were used to repay borrowings under the Line. Mortgage loans are secured by certain real estate properties, but generally may be prepaid subject to a prepayment of a yield-maintenance premium. Mortgage loans are generally due in monthly installments of interest and principal and mature over various terms through 2018. Variable interest rates on mortgage loans are currently based on LIBOR plus a spread in a range of 125 basis points to 150 basis points. Fixed interest rates on mortgage loans range from 7.04% to 9.8%. F-16 REGENCY REALTY CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1998 5. Notes Payable and Acquisition and Development Line of Credit (continued) During 1998, the Company assumed mortgage loans with a fair value of $132.8 million related to the acquisition of shopping centers, which includes debt premiums of $12.4 million based upon the above market interest rates of the debt instruments. Debt premiums are being amortized over the terms of the related debt instruments. As of December 31, 1998, scheduled principal repayments on notes payable and the Line were as follows (in thousands): Scheduled Scheduled Principal Term Loan Total Payments by Year Payments Maturities Payments ---------------- --------- ---------- -------- 1999 $ 3,771 21,579 25,350 2000 3,996 174,674 178,670 2001 3,911 41,928 45,839 2002 3,098 44,117 47,215 2003 2,914 13,291 16,205 Beyond 5 Years 17,811 206,607 224,418 Net unamortized debt payments - 10,429 10,429 ------- ------- ------- Total $ 35,501 512,625 548,126 ======= ======= ======= Unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures had mortgage loans payable of $76.7 million at December 31, 1998, and the Company's proportionate share of these loans was $34.4 million. The fair value of the Company's notes payable and Line are estimated based on the current rates available to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities. Variable rate notes payable, and the Company's Line, are considered to be at fair value since the interest rates on such instruments reprice based on current market conditions. Notes payable with fixed rates, that have been assumed in connection with acquisitions, are recorded in the accompanying financial statements at fair value. The Company considers the carrying value of all other fixed rate notes payable to be a reasonable estimation of their fair value based on the fact that the rates of such notes are similar to rates available to the Company for debt of the same terms. 6. Stockholders' Equity On June 11, 1996, the Company entered into a Stockholders Agreement (the "Agreement") with SC-USREALTY granting it certain rights such as purchasing common stock, nominating representatives to the Company's Board of Directors, and subjecting SC-USREALTY to certain restrictions including voting and ownership restrictions. The Agreement primarily granted SC-USREALTY (i) the right to acquire 7,499,400 shares for approximately $132 million and also participation rights entitling it to purchase additional equity in the Company, at the same price as that offered to other purchasers, each time that the Company sells additional shares of capital stock or options or other rights to acquire capital stock, in order to preserve SC-USREALTY's pro rata ownership position; and (ii) the right to nominate a F-17 REGENCY REALTY CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1998 6. Stockholders' Equity (continued) proportionate number of directors on the Company's Board, rounded down to the nearest whole number, based upon SC-USREALTY's percentage ownership of outstanding common stock (but not to exceed 49% of the Board). SC-USREALTY has acquired all of the 7,499,400 shares related to the Agreement. In connection with the Units and shares of common stock issued in exchange for Branch's assets. SC-USREALTY acquired 1,750,000 shares during August and December, 1997 at $22.125 per share in accordance with their rights as provided for in the Agreement. In connection with the Units and shares of common stock issued for Branch in March 1998, SC-USREALTY acquired 435,777 shares at $22.125 per share in accordance with their rights as provided for in the Agreement. The acquisition of Branch is discussed further in note 2. For a period of at least five years (subject to certain exceptions), SC-USREALTY is precluded from, among other things, (i) acquiring more than 45% of the outstanding common stock on a diluted basis, (ii) transferring shares without the Company's approval in a negotiated transaction that would result in any transferee beneficially owning more than 9.8% of the Company's capital stock, or (iii) acting in concert with any third parties as part of a 13D group. Subject to certain exceptions, SC-USREALTY is required to vote its shares either as recommended by the Board of Directors or proportionately in accordance with the vote of the other stockholders. On July 11, 1997, the Company sold 2,415,000 shares to the public at $27.25 per share. In connection with that offering, SC-USREALTY purchased an additional 1,785,000 shares at $27.25 directly from the Company. On August 11, 1997, the Underwriters exercised the over-allotment option and the Company issued an additional 129,800 shares to the public and 95,939 shares to SC-USREALTY at $27.25 per share. Total proceeds from the sale of common stock to the public and SC-USREALTY of approximately $117 million net of offering expenses was used to reduce the balance of the Line. In connection with the acquisition of shopping centers, RCLP has issued Exchangeable Operating Partnership Units to limited partners convertible on a one for one basis into shares of common stock of the Company. There are currently 1,361,396 Exchangeable Operating Partnership Units outstanding. On June 29, 1998, the Company through RCLP issued $80 million of 8.125% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units ("Series A Preferred Units") to an institutional investor in a private placement. The issuance involved the sale of 1.6 million Series A Preferred Units for $50.00 per unit. The Series A Preferred Units, which may be called by the Partnership at par on or after June 25, 2003, have no stated maturity or mandatory redemption, and pay a cumulative, quarterly dividend at an annualized rate of 8.125%. At any time after June 25, 2008, the Series A Preferred Units may be exchanged for shares of 8.125% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock of the Company at an exchange rate of one share of Series A Preferred Stock for one Series A Preferred Unit. The Series A Preferred Units and Series A Preferred Stock are not convertible into common stock of the Company. The net proceeds of the offering were used to reduce the acquisition and development line of credit. F-18 REGENCY REALTY CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1998 7. Earnings Per Share The following summarizes the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the years ended, December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 (in thousands except per share data):

Class B common stock is not included in the above calculation because it is anti-dilutive. 8. Long-Term Stock Incentive Plans In 1993, the Company adopted a Long-Term Omnibus Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to which the Board of Directors may grant stock and stock options to officers, directors and other key employees. The Plan provides for the issuance of up to 12% of the Company's common shares outstanding not to exceed 3.0 million shares. Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the stock's fair market value at the date of grant. All stock options granted have ten year terms, and with respect to F-19 REGENCY REALTY CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1998 8. Long-Term Stock Incentive Plans (continued) officers and other key employees, become fully exercisable after four years from the date of grant, and with respect to directors, become fully exercisable after one year. At December 31, 1998, there were approximately 300,000 shares available for grant under the Plan. The per share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during 1998 and 1997 was $2.22 and $3.26 on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: 1998 - expected dividend yield 7.5%, risk-free interest rate of 4.8%, expected volatility 21%, and an expected life of 6.5 years; 1997 - expected dividend yield 6.3%, risk-free interest rate of 6.3%, expected volatility 21%, and an expected life of 5.7 years; The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its Plan and, accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its stock options in the consolidated financial statements. Had the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for its stock options under SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income for common stockholders would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below (in thousands except per share data): Net income for Common stockholders 1998 1997 1996 ------------------- ---- ---- ---- As reported: $50,590 $27,402 $9,907 Net income per share: Basic $ 1.80 $ 1.28 $ 0.82 Diluted $ 1.75 $ 1.23 $ 0.82 Pro forma: $49,565 $25,777 $9,897 Net income per share: Basic $ 1.76 $ 1.18 $ 0.82 Diluted $ 1.71 $ 1.15 $ 0.82 Pro forma net income for common stockholders reflects only options granted subsequent to the issuance of SFAS 123 in 1995. Therefore, the full impact of calculating compensation cost for stock options under SFAS No. 123 is not reflected in the pro forma net income for common stockholders amounts presented above because compensation cost is reflected over the options' vesting period and compensation cost for options granted prior to January 1, 1995 is not considered.

Long-Term Stock Incentive Plans (continued) The following table presents information regarding options currently exercisable at December 31, 1998: Weighted Number of Range of Average Options Exercise Exercise Exercisable Prices Price ----------- -------- --------- 51,731 $ 16.75 - 19.25 $ 18.93 98,300 25.25 25.25 88,881 26.25 - 27.75 26.99 ------ ------------- -------- 238,912 $ 16.75 - 27.75 $ 24.53 ======= ================== ======== Also as part of the Plan, in 1993, 1996 and 1998, certain officers and employees purchased common stock at fair market value directly from the Company, of which 90%, 95% and 95%, respectively, was financed by a stock purchase loan provided by the Plan. These recourse loans are fully secured by stock, bear interest at fixed rates of 6% to 7.79% and mature after ten years. The Board of Directors may authorize the forgiveness of all or a portion of the principal balance based on the Company's achievement of specified financial objectives, and total stockholder return performance targets. During 1998, 1997, and 1996, $662,196, $601,516, and $646,598 was forgiven, respectively, and is included as a charge to income on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company also has a performance based restricted stock plan for officers whereby a portion of the shares authorized under the Plan may be granted upon the achievement of certain total stockholder return performance targets. Shares granted under the plan become fully vested by January 1, 2000. During 1998, 1997 and 1996, the Company charged $250,000, $259,600 and $809,400 to income on the consolidated statement of operations related to the restricted stock plan. In addition, the Company provided it's officers, directors and employees with other stock based compensation totaling $1.5, $1.7, and $1.5 million during 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. 9. Operating Leases The Company's properties are leased to tenants under operating leases with expiration dates extending to the year 2028. Future minimum rent under noncancelable operating leases as of December 31,1998, excluding tenant reimbursements of operating expenses and excluding additional contingent rentals based on tenants' sales volume are as follows: Year ending December 31, Amount 1999 110,538,266 2000 105,061,943 2001 89,224,053 2002 74,990,466 2003 64,644,898 Thereafter 481,164,703 ------------ Total $ 925,624,329 ============ F-22 REGENCY REALTY CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1998 9. Operating Leases (continued) At December 31, 1998, the real estate portfolio as a whole was approximately 93% leased. The shopping centers' tenant base includes primarily national and regional supermarkets, drug stores, discount department stores and other retailers and, consequently, the credit risk is concentrated in the retail industry. There were no tenants which individually represented 10% or more of the Company's combined minimum rent. The combined annualized rent from the Company's four largest retail tenants represented approximately 26.9% of annualized base rent at December 31, 1998. 10. Contingencies The Company like others in the commercial real estate industry, is subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations and the operation of dry cleaning plants at the Company's shopping centers is the principal environmental concern. The Company believes that the dry cleaners are operating in accordance with current laws and regulations and has established procedures to monitor their operations. While the Company has registered the plants located in Florida under a state funded program designed to substantially fund the clean up, if necessary, of any environmental issues, the owner or operator is not relieved from the ultimate responsibility for clean up. The Company also has established due diligence procedures to identify and evaluate potential environmental issues on properties under consideration for acquisition. In connection with acquisitions during 1998 and 1997, the Company has established environmental reserves which amounted to $2.2 million and $1.9 million at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. While it is not possible to predict with certainty, management believes that the reserves are adequate to cover future clean-up costs related to these sites. The Company's policy is to accrue environmental clean-up costs when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and that amount is reasonably estimable. Based on information presently available, no additional environmental accruals were made and management believes that the ultimate disposition of currently known matters will not have a material effect on the financial position, liquidity, or operations of the Company. 11. Market and Dividend Information (Unaudited) The Company's common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "REG". The Company currently has approximately 3,500 shareholders. The following table sets forth the high and low prices and the cash dividends declared on the Company's common stock by quarter for 1998 and 1997. All amounts are in thousands except per share data.

13. Subsequent Event On September 23, 1998, the Company entered into an Agreement of Merger ("Agreement") with Pacific Retail Trust ("Pacific"), a privately held real estate investment trust. The Agreement, among other matters, provides for the merger of Pacific into Regency, and the exchange of each Pacific common or preferred share into 0.48 shares of Regency common or preferred stock. The stockholders approved the merger at a Special Meeting of Stockholders held February 26, 1999. At the time of the merger, Pacific owned 71 retail shopping centers that are operating or under construction containing 8.4 million SF of gross leaseable area.

to the matters set forth on the Rent Roll. Between the date hereof and the close
of business on the date which is the fifth (5th)  business day preceding the end
of the  Inspection  Period,  Seller may terminate or modify  existing  Leases or
enter into new Leases without the consent of Buyer,  provided  Seller  furnishes
Buyer a copy of any proposed modification, termination or new Lease and consults
with Buyer  concerning  same.  Thereafter,  Seller will not  terminate or modify
existing  Leases or enter into any new Leases without the consent of Buyer.  All
of the Property's tenant leases are in good standing and to the best of Seller's
knowledge no defaults exist thereunder except as noted on the Rent Roll. No rent
or  reimbursement  has been  paid  more  than one (1)  month in  advance  and no
security deposit has been paid, except as

- - 11 -



stated on the Rent Roll. No tenants under the Leases are entitled to interest on
any  security  deposits.  No tenant  under any Lease has or will be promised any
inducement, concession or consideration by Seller other than as expressly stated
in such  Lease,  and  except  as  stated  therein  there are and will be no side
agreements between Seller and any tenant.

         4.8  Financial  Statements.  Each of the  Seller  Financial  Statements
delivered or to be delivered to Buyer  hereunder  has or will have been prepared
in  accordance  with the books and records of Seller and presents  fairly in all
material respects the financial condition,  results of operations and cash flows
for the  Property  as of and for the  periods to which they  relate.  All are in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent
basis.  There  has been no  material  adverse  change in the  operations  of the
Property or its  prospects  since the date of the most recent  Seller  Financial
Statements.  Seller  covenants to furnish promptly to Buyer copies of the Seller
Financial  Statements  together with unaudited  updated  monthly reports of cash
flow for interim  periods  beginning  after  December  31,  1997.  Buyer and its
independent  certified  accountants  shall be given access to Seller's books and
records  at any time  prior to and for six (6)  months  following  Closing  upon
reasonable advance notice in order that they may verify the financial statements
prior to Closing.  Seller agrees to execute and deliver or to cause its property
manager  to  execute  and  deliver  to  Buyer  or  its   accountants  the  Audit
Representation  Letter  should  Buyer's  accountants  audit the  records  of the
Shopping Center.

         4.9  Contracts.  There are no contracts  or  agreements  affecting  the
Property,  oral or written, which will extend beyond the Closing Date other than
the  Contracts.  All Contracts  are in full force and effect in accordance  with
their  respective  terms,  and all  obligations  of Seller  under the  Contracts
required to be performed to date have been  performed in all material  respects;
to  Seller's  knowledge,  no party to any  Contract  has  asserted  any claim of
default or offset against Seller with respect  thereto and no event has occurred
or failed to occur, which would in any way affect the validity or enforceability
of any such Contract;  and the copies of the Contracts  delivered to Buyer prior
to the date hereof are true,  correct and complete copies  thereof.  Between the
date hereof and the Closing,  Seller covenants to fulfill all of its obligations
under all Contracts, and covenants not to terminate or modify any such Contracts
or enter into any new contractual  obligations  relating to the Property without
the consent of Buyer (not to be unreasonably  withheld)  except such obligations
as are freely  terminable  without  penalty by Seller  upon not more than thirty
(30) days' written notice.

         4.10  Maintenance  and  Operation of Property.  From and after the date
hereof and until the Closing,  Seller covenants to keep and maintain and operate
the  Property  substantially  in the  manner  in  which  it is  currently  being
maintained  and operated and  covenants  not to cause or permit any waste of the
Property nor undertake any action with respect to the operation  thereof outside
the ordinary course of business without

 - 12 -



Buyer's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
In connection  therewith,  Seller  covenants to make all  necessary  repairs and
replacements  until the Closing so that the Property  shall be of  substantially
the same  quality and  condition  at the time of Closing as on the date  hereof.
Seller  covenants not to remove from the  Improvements  or the Real Property any
article  included in the Personal  Property.  Seller  covenants to maintain such

maintained.

         4.11 Permits and Zoning. To the best knowledge of Seller,  the Property
is properly zoned for its present use, and there are no outstanding assessments,
impact fees or other charges related to the Property.

         4.12 Rent  Roll;  Tenant  Estoppel  Letters.  The Rent Roll is true and
correct in all material  respects.  Seller agrees to use  reasonable  efforts to
obtain Tenant Estoppel Letters dated within thirty (30) days of Closing from all
Tenants under Leases,  which Tenant  Estoppel  Letters shall confirm the matters
reflected by the Rent Roll as to the particular tenant.

         4.13  Condemnation.  Neither the whole nor any portion of the Property,
including access thereto or any easement benefitting the Property, is subject to
temporary  requisition  of  use  by  any  governmental  authority  or  has  been
condemned, or taken in any proceeding similar to a condemnation proceeding,  nor
is there now pending any  condemnation,  expropriation,  requisition  or similar
proceeding  against the Property or any portion thereof.  Seller has received no
notice nor has any knowledge that any such proceeding is contemplated.

         4.14 Governmental Matters.  Seller has not entered into any commitments
or  agreements  with any  governmental  authorities  or agencies  affecting  the
Property  that  have not been  disclosed  in  writing  to Buyer and  Seller  has
received  no notices  from any such  governmental  authorities  or  agencies  of
uncured  violations at the Property of building,  fire,  air pollution or zoning
codes, rules, ordinances or regulations,  environmental and hazardous substances
laws, or other rules, ordinances or regulations relating to the Property. Seller
shall be responsible  for the remittance of all sales tax for periods  occurring
prior to the Allocation  Date directly to the  appropriate  state  department of
revenue.

         4.15  Repairs.  Seller has  received no notice of any  requirements  or
recommendations  by any lender,  insurance  companies,  or governmental  body or

date hereof and as of the Closing that Seller has not, and to Seller's knowledge

6.  POSSESSION; RISK OF LOSS

         6.1 Possession. Possession of the Property will be transferred to Buyer
             at the conclusion of the Closing.

         6.2 Risk of Loss.  All risk of loss to the  Property  shall remain upon
Seller until the  conclusion of the Closing.  If,  before the  possession of the
Property has been  transferred to Buyer, any material portion of the Property is
damaged by fire or other  casualty  and will not be restored by the Closing Date
or if any material  portion of the Property is taken by eminent  domain or there
is a material obstruction of access to the Improvements by virtue of a taking by
eminent  domain,  Seller  shall,  within ten (10) days of such damage or taking,
notify Buyer thereof and Buyer shall have the option to:

                  (a)  terminate  this  Agreement  upon  notice to Seller  given
within ten (10) business days after such notice from Seller, in which case Buyer
shall receive a return of its Earnest Money Deposit; or

                  (b) proceed with the purchase of the Property,  in which event
Seller  shall  assign to Buyer all  Seller's  right,  title and  interest in all
amounts  due  or  collected  by  Seller  under  the  insurance  policies  or  as
condemnation  awards.  In such event, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the
amount of any  insurance  deductible  to the  extent it  reduced  the  insurance
proceeds payable.

   7.  TITLE MATTERS

         7.1      Title.

                  (a) Title Insurance and Survey.  Seller has provided or caused
to be provided to Buyer the Title  Insurance  Commitment and the Survey (each of
which are to be  updated),  and Buyer hereby  acknowledges  receipt of the same.
Buyer  has  made  comments   concerning  a  previously  issued  title  insurance
commitment  (but not the  Survey),  by letter  dated  October  27,  1997,  which
comments were not resolved by the Title Insurance Commitment,  and such comments
are hereby  renewed.  Buyer  will have  through  the last day of the  Inspection
Period to notify Seller in writing of any additional  objections,  encroachments
or other matters not  acceptable  to Buyer.  Any  unresolved  objection on which
Buyer commented in its October 27, 1997, letter, or which Buyer hereafter raises
during the Inspection  Period shall be deemed an objection.  Seller shall notify
Buyer in writing  within  five (5) days of Buyer's  notice if Seller  intends to
cure any Title Defect or other objection. If Seller elects to cure, Seller shall
use diligent efforts to cure the Title Defects and/or  objections by the Closing
Date (as it may be  extended).  If Seller  elects  not to cure or if such  Title
Defects and/or objections are not cured,  Buyer shall have the right, in lieu of
any other  remedies,  to: (i) refuse to purchase the  Property,  terminate  this
Agreement and receive a return of the Earnest Money Deposit;

 - 16 -



or (ii) waive such Title Defects and/or objections and close the purchase of the
Property subject to them.

                  (b)  Miscellaneous  Title  Matters.  If a search  of the title
discloses judgments,  bankruptcies or other returns against other persons having
names the same as or similar to that of Seller,  Seller shall on request deliver
to Buyer an affidavit stating, if true, that such judgments, bankruptcies or the
returns are not against Seller.  Seller further agrees to execute and deliver to
the Title  Insurance agent at Closing such  documentation,  if any, as the Title
Insurance  underwriter  shall reasonably  require to evidence that the execution
and  delivery  of  this  Agreement  and  the  consummation  of the  transactions
contemplated  hereby have been duly  authorized and that there are no mechanics'
liens on the  Property  or  parties in  possession  of the  Property  other than
tenants under Leases and Seller.

Dear Sirs:

         We are  providing  this  letter in  connection  with your  audit of the
Statement  of  Revenues  and  Certain  Expenses  for  the  twelve  months  ended
________________,  for the  purpose of  expressing  an opinion as to whether the
financial  statement presents fairly, in all material  respects,  the results of
its  operations of  __________________  in conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles.

         Certain  representations  in this letter are described as being limited
to matters that are material. Items are considered material, regardless of size,
if they involve an omission or misstatement of accounting  information  that, in
the light of surrounding circumstances, makes it probable that the judgment of a
reasonable  person relying on the information  would be changed or influenced by
the omission or misstatement.

         We confirm,  to the best of our  knowledge  and belief,  the  following
representations made to you during your audit:

         1.       The financial  statement referred to above is fairly presented

                  b.       Instances of fraud involving others that could have a
                           material  effect  on the  Statement  of  Revenue  and
                           Certain Expenses.

                  c.       Violations   or  possible   violations   of  laws  or
                           regulations,   the   effects   of  which   should  be
                           considered for disclosure in the Statement of Revenue
                           and Certain  Expenses  or as a basis for  recording a
                           loss contingency.



         4.       There are no:

                  a.       Unasserted  claims or  assessments  that our  lawyers

                  noncompliance.

Lender under and signatory to the Credit  Agreement having a Commitment equal to
such amount of the Assigned Commitment.  The Assignee,  subject to the terms and
conditions  hereof,  hereby assumes all obligations of the Assignor with respect
to the Assigned  Commitment as if the Assignee were an original Lender under and

and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate,  made its
own credit analysis and decision to become a Lender under the Credit  Agreement.
The Assignee also acknowledges that it will,  independently and without reliance
upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such  documents and  information
as it shall  deem  appropriate  at the  time,  continue  to make its own  credit
decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit  Agreement or any Note

responsibility,  either  initially  or on a  continuing  basis,  to provide  the
Assignee with any credit or other information with respect to the Borrower or to
notify the  undersigned of any Event of Default except as expressly  provided in

or factual matter in connection therewith or in connection with the transactions

statements  and such  other  documents  and  information,  made  its own  credit
analysis and decision to become a Designated  Lender under the Credit Agreement;
(d)  appoints  and  authorizes  the  Agent to take such  action  as  contractual

duty or responsibility whatsoever, either initially or on a continuing basis, to

Lender.  The  Borrower,  each Agent and each of the  Lenders may rely on and are
beneficiaries of the preceding provisions.

Agreement by the Designating  Lender and the Designated  Lender, the Designating
Lender will (i) deliver to the Agent a duly executed  original of this Agreement
for  acceptance by the Agent and (ii) pay to the Agent the fee, if any,  payable
under the applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement whereupon this Agreement
shall become  effective as of the date of such  acceptance or such other date as

Designated Lender, shall be and remain obligated to the Borrower,  the Agent and

of any kind or nature  whatsoever which may be imposed or asserted by any of the
parties to the Loan Documents against the Designated  Lender, in its capacity as
such, in any way relating to or arising out of this  Agreement or any other Loan
Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Designated  Lender  hereunder or

portion of such liabilities,  obligations,  losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments,  suits, costs, expenses or disbursements if the same results from the

CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA.

         Section 10.  Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number

         NOW, THEREFORE,  for good and valuable  consideration,  the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby  acknowledged by each Guarantor,  each Guarantor

Guarantied Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the
documents evidencing the same, regardless of any Applicable Law now or hereafter

regard to,  and shall not be  released,  suspended,  discharged,  terminated  or
otherwise  affected by, any  circumstance  or occurrence  whatsoever,  including
without  limitation,  the  following  (whether  or not such  Guarantor  consents
thereto or has notice thereof):

term of any of the Guarantied Obligations, (ii) any change in the time, place or
manner of payment of all or any portion of the Guarantied Obligations, (iii) any
amendment  or waiver of, or consent to the  departure  from or other  indulgence
with respect to, the Credit  Agreement,  any other Loan  Document,  or any other
document or instrument evidencing or relating to any Guarantied Obligations,  or
(iv) any waiver,  renewal,  extension,  addition,  or supplement to, or deletion
from,  or any other  action or  inaction  under or in  respect  of,  the  Credit
Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other documents,  instruments
or agreements relating to the Guarantied  Obligations or any other instrument or
agreement  referred to therein or evidencing any  Guarantied  Obligations or any
assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing;

         (b) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any
of the other Loan  Documents,  or any other  document,  instrument  or agreement
referred to therein or evidencing any  Guarantied  Obligations or any assignment
or transfer of any of the foregoing;

         (c) any furnishing to the Agent, the Lenders or the Swingline Lender of
any security for the Guarantied Obligations,  or any sale, exchange,  release or
surrender of, or realization on, any collateral securing any of the Obligations;

         (d) any settlement or compromise of any of the Guarantied  Obligations,
any security  therefor,  or any liability of any other party with respect to the
Guarantied  Obligations,  or any  subordination of the payment of the Guarantied
Obligations  to the payment of any other  liability of the Borrower or any other
Loan Party;

         (e)   any   bankruptcy,   insolvency,   reorganization,    composition,
adjustment,  dissolution,  liquidation or other like proceeding relating to such
Guarantor, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person, or any action
taken with respect to this Guaranty by any trustee or receiver, or by any court,
in any such proceeding;

         (f) any act or failure to act by the Borrower,  any other Loan Party or
any other Person which may adversely affect such Guarantor's subrogation rights,
if any, against the Borrower to recover payments made under this Guaranty;

         (g) any application of sums paid by the Borrower,  any other Loan Party
or any other  Person  with  respect to the  liabilities  of the  Borrower to the

the Borrower remain unpaid;

the Borrower or in the exercise thereof; or

         (i) any other circumstance  which might otherwise  constitute a defense
available  to,  or  a  discharge  of,  such  Guarantor   hereunder  (other  than
termination of this Guaranty as provided in Section 20. hereof).

         Section 4. Action with Respect to Guarantied Obligations.  The Lenders,
the  Swingline  Lender  and the  Agent  may,  at any time and from time to time,
without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, and without discharging any
Guarantor from its obligations  hereunder take any and all actions  described in
Section 3. and may otherwise:  (a) amend,  modify, alter or supplement the terms
of any of the Guarantied Obligations,  including,  but not limited to, extending
or  shortening  the time of  payment  of any of the  Guarantied  Obligations  or
changing the interest rate that may accrue on any of the Guarantied Obligations;
(b) amend,  modify,  alter or supplement the Credit  Agreement or any other Loan
Document;  (c) sell, exchange,  release or otherwise deal with all, or any part,
of any collateral securing any of the Obligations; (d) release any Loan Party or
other  Person  liable  in any  manner  for  the  payment  or  collection  of the
Guarantied  Obligations;  (e) exercise,  or refrain from exercising,  any rights
against the Borrower,  any other Loan Party or any other  Person;  and (f) apply
any sum, by whomsoever paid or however realized,  to the Guarantied  Obligations
in such order as the Lenders or the Swingline Lender shall elect.

         Section 5. Representations and Warranties.  Each Guarantor hereby makes
to the Agent,  the Lenders and the Swingline  Lender all of the  representations
and  warranties  made by the Borrower  with respect to or in any way relating to
such Guarantor in the Credit  Agreement and the other Loan Documents,  as if the
same were set forth herein in full.


         Section 6.  Covenants.  Each  Guarantor  will comply with all covenants
which the Borrower is to cause such  Guarantor to comply with under the terms of
the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

         Section 7. Waiver.  Each Guarantor,  to the fullest extent permitted by
Applicable  Law, hereby waives notice of acceptance  hereof or any  presentment,
demand,  protest or notice of any kind, and any other act or thing,  or omission
or delay to do any  other  act or thing,  which in any  manner or to any  extent
might  vary the risk of such  Guarantor  or which  otherwise  might  operate  to
discharge such Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.

         Section 8.  Inability to  Accelerate  Loan.  If the Agent,  the Lenders
and/or the Swingline Lender are prevented under Applicable Law or otherwise from
demanding or accelerating payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations by reason
of any automatic stay or otherwise,  the Agent, the Lenders and/or the Swingline
Lender shall be entitled to receive from each Guarantor,  upon demand  therefor,
the sums which  otherwise  would have been due had such  demand or  acceleration
occurred.

         Section 9.  Reinstatement of Guarantied  Obligations.  If claim is ever
made on the Agent,  any Lender or the Swingline Lender for repayment or recovery
of any  amount or  amounts  received  in  payment  or on  account  of any of the
Guarantied  Obligations,  and the Agent,  such  Lender or the  Swingline  Lender
repays all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order
of any  court  or  administrative  body of  competent  jurisdiction,  or (b) any
settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the Agent, such Lender or
the Swingline Lender with any such claimant (including the Borrower or a trustee
in bankruptcy  for the Borrower),  then and in such event each Guarantor  agrees
that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding
on it,  notwithstanding  any revocation hereof or the cancellation of the Credit
Agreement,  any of the other Loan Documents,  or any other instrument evidencing
any liability of the Borrower,  and such Guarantor shall be and remain liable to
the Agent,  such  Lender or the  Swingline  Lender for the  amounts so repaid or
recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been paid to
the Agent, such Lender or the Swingline Lender.

         Section  10.  Subrogation.  Upon the  making  by any  Guarantor  of any
payment  hereunder  for the account of the  Borrower,  such  Guarantor  shall be
subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Borrower;  provided,  however,
that such Guarantor shall not enforce any right or receive any payment by way of
subrogation  or otherwise take any action in respect of any other claim or cause
of action such Guarantor may have against the Borrower  arising by reason of any
payment or performance by such Guarantor  pursuant to this Guaranty,  unless and
until  all of  the  Guarantied  Obligations  have  been  indefeasibly  paid  and
performed in full.  If any amount shall be paid to such  Guarantor on account of
or in respect of such  subrogation  rights or other  claims or causes of action,
such Guarantor shall hold such amount in trust for the benefit of the Agent, the
Lenders  and the  Swingline  Lender and shall  forthwith  pay such amount to the
Agent to be credited and applied  against the  Guarantied  Obligations,  whether
matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or to
be held by the  Agent as  collateral  security  for any  Guarantied  Obligations
existing.

         Section 11. Payments Free and Clear. All sums payable by each Guarantor
hereunder,   whether  of  principal,   interest,  fees,  expenses,  premiums  or
otherwise,  shall  be paid in  full,  without  set-off  or  counterclaim  or any
deduction or withholding whatsoever (including any Taxes), and if such Guarantor
is required by Applicable Law or by any Governmental  Authority to make any such
deduction or withholding, such Guarantor shall pay to the Agent, the Lenders and
the Swingline Lender such additional amount as will result in the receipt by the
Agent, the Lenders and the Swingline Lender of the full amount payable hereunder
had such deduction or withholding not occurred or been required.

         Section 12. Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted
under  any of the  other  Loan  Documents  or  Applicable  Law and not by way of
limitation of any such rights,  each Guarantor  hereby  authorizes the Agent, at
any time or from time to time upon the occurrence and during the  continuance of
an Event of Default,  without any prior notice to such Guarantor or to any other
Person,  any such  notice  being  hereby  expressly  waived,  to set-off  and to
appropriate  and to apply any and all deposits  (general or special,  including,
but not limited to, indebtedness  evidenced by certificates of deposit,  whether
matured or unmatured)  and any other  indebtedness  at any time held or owing by
the Agent, or any affiliate of the Agent, to or for the credit or the account of
such  Guarantor  against  and on account of any of the  Guarantied  Obligations,
although such  obligations  shall be contingent  or  unmatured.  Each  Guarantor
agrees,  to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, that any Participant
may exercise rights of setoff or  counterclaim  and other rights with respect to
its participation as fully as if such Participant were a direct creditor of such
Guarantor in the amount of such participation.


         Section 13.  Subordination.  Each Guarantor hereby expressly  covenants
and agrees for the benefit of the Agent,  the Lenders and the  Swingline  Lender
that all  obligations  and  liabilities  of the  Borrower to such  Guarantor  of
whatever description, including without limitation, all intercompany receivables
of such Guarantor from the Borrower (collectively, the "Junior Claims") shall be
subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Guarantied Obligations.  If an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,  then no Guarantor shall
accept any direct or indirect payment (in cash,  property,  securities by setoff
or otherwise) from the Borrower on account of or in any manner in respect of any
Junior Claim until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid
in full.

         Section 14. Avoidance  Provisions.  It is the intent of each Guarantor,
the Agent,  the Lenders and the Swingline  Lender that in any  Proceeding,  such
Guarantor's  maximum  obligation  hereunder  shall  equal,  but not exceed,  the
maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the obligations of such Guarantor
hereunder (or any other  obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent, the Lenders
and  the  Swingline  Lender)  to be  avoidable  or  unenforceable  against  such
Guarantor in such  Proceeding as a result of Applicable Law,  including  without
limitation,  (a) Section 548 of the  Bankruptcy  Code of 1978,  as amended  (the
"Bankruptcy  Code")  and  (b)  any  state  fraudulent   transfer  or  fraudulent
conveyance  act or  statute  applied  in such  Proceeding,  whether by virtue of
Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. The Applicable Laws under which
the possible avoidance or  unenforceability of the obligations of such Guarantor
hereunder (or any other  obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent, the Lenders
and the  Swingline  Lender)  shall  be  determined  in any such  Proceeding  are
referred to as the "Avoidance Provisions".  Accordingly,  to the extent that the
obligations of any Guarantor  hereunder  would otherwise be subject to avoidance
under the Avoidance  Provisions,  the maximum  Guarantied  Obligations for which
such Guarantor shall be liable  hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which,
as of the  time  any of the  Guarantied  Obligations  are  deemed  to have  been
incurred under the Avoidance Provisions,  would not cause the obligations of any
Guarantor  hereunder (or any other  obligations  of such Guarantor to the Agent,
the Lenders and the  Swingline  Lender),  to be subject to  avoidance  under the
Avoidance Provisions.  This Section is intended solely to preserve the rights of
the Agent,  the Lenders and the Swingline Lender hereunder to the maximum extent
that would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder to be subject to
avoidance under the Avoidance  Provisions,  and no Guarantor or any other Person
shall have any right or claim  under this  Section  as  against  the Agent,  the
Lenders and the  Swingline  Lender that would not otherwise be available to such
Person under the Avoidance Provisions.

         Section 15. Information.  Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for
being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and
the other Loan Parties, and of all other circumstances  bearing upon the risk of
nonpayment of any of the Guarantied Obligations and the nature, scope and extent
of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs  hereunder,  and agrees that
none of the  Agent,  any  Lender or the  Swingline  Lender  shall  have any duty
whatsoever to advise any Guarantor of information  regarding such  circumstances
or risks.

         Section 16.  Governing Law. THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND 
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA.

         SECTION 17. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  (a) EACH GUARANTOR,  AND EACH OF THE
AGENT,  THE LENDERS AND THE SWINGLINE  LENDER BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS  HEREOF,
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG SUCH GUARANTOR, THE
AGENT,  ANY OF THE LENDERS OR THE  SWINGLINE  LENDER WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT
AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT. ACCORDINGLY, EACH GUARANTOR, AND EACH OF THE
AGENT, THE LENDERS AND THE SWINGLINE LENDER BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS HEREOF, TO
THE FULLEST EXTENT  PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE  LAW, HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN
ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH
AN ACTION MAY BE  COMMENCED  BY OR AGAINST  SUCH  GUARANTOR  ARISING OUT OF THIS
GUARANTY  OR ANY OTHER LOAN  DOCUMENT OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER CAUSE OR DISPUTE
WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG SUCH GUARANTOR, THE AGENT, ANY OF THE LENDERS OR THE
SWINGLINE LENDER OF ANY KIND OR NATURE.

         (b) THE FOREGOING WAIVERS HAVE BEEN MADE WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND
WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES  THEREOF,  AND SHALL SURVIVE
THE PAYMENT OF THE OBLIGATIONS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE  HEREUNDER OR UNDER
THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS GUARANTY.

         Section 18. Loan  Accounts.  The Agent,  each Lender and the  Swingline
Lender may maintain  books and accounts  setting forth the amounts of principal,
interest  and  other  sums  paid and  payable  with  respect  to the  Guarantied
Obligations,  and in the case of any dispute  relating to any of the outstanding
amount,  payment or receipt of any of the  Guarantied  Obligations or otherwise,
the entries in such books and accounts shall  constitute prima facie evidence of
the outstanding  amount of such Guarantied  Obligations and the amounts paid and
payable  with  respect  thereto.  The  failure of the  Agent,  any Lender or the
Swingline  Lender  to  maintain  such  books and  accounts  shall not in any way
relieve or discharge any Guarantor of any of its obligations hereunder.

         Section 19. Waiver of Remedies.  No delay or failure on the part of the
Agent, any Lender or the Swingline Lender in the exercise of any right or remedy
it may have against any  Guarantor  hereunder or  otherwise  shall  operate as a
waiver thereof,  and no single or partial  exercise by the Agent,  any Lender or
the Swingline Lender of any such right or remedy shall preclude other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right or remedy.



         Section 20.  Termination.  This Guaranty shall remain in full force and
effect until the earlier of (a) indefeasible  payment in full of the Obligations
and the termination or cancellation of the Credit  Agreement and (b) the release
by the Agent of each  Guarantor  herefrom  pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Credit
Agreement.

         Section 21. Successors and Assigns. Each reference herein to the Agent,
the Lenders or the  Swingline  Lender shall be deemed to include  such  Person's
respective successors and assigns (including,  but not limited to, any holder of
the Guarantied  Obligations) in whose favor the provisions of this Guaranty also
shall inure,  and each  reference  herein to each  Guarantor  shall be deemed to
include such  Guarantor's  successors and assigns,  upon whom this Guaranty also
shall be binding.  The Lenders and the Swingline  Lender may, in accordance with
the applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement,  assign, transfer or sell any
Guarantied  Obligations,  or  grant  or  sell  participation  in any  Guarantied
Obligations,  to any Person  without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor
and without  releasing,  discharging  or modifying any  Guarantor's  obligations
hereunder.  Each  Guarantor  hereby  consents to the delivery by the Agent,  any
Lender  or  the  Swingline  Lender  to  any  Assignee  or  Participant  (or  any
prospective  Assignee or  Participant)  of any  financial  or other  information
regarding the Borrower or any Guarantor. No Guarantor may assign or transfer its
obligations hereunder to any Person.

         Section  22.  Joint and Several  Obligations.  the  obligationS  of the
Guarantors HEREUNDER SHALL BE joint and several, and ACCORDINGLY, each Guarantor
CONFIRMS THAT IT is liable for the full amount of the  "GUARANTiED  Obligations"

hereunder  shall be in  writing  (including  facsimile  transmission  or similar
writing) and shall be given (a) to each Guarantor at its address set forth below
its signature  hereto,  (b) to the Agent,  any Lender or the Swingline Lender at
its address for notices provided for in the Credit Agreement,  or (c) as to each
such party at such other  address as such  party  shall  designate  in a written
notice to the other parties.  Each such notice,  request or other  communication
shall be  effective  (i) if mailed,  when  received;  (ii) if  telecopied,  when

any notice of a change of  address  for  notices  shall not be  effective  until
received.

         Section 26. Severability.  In case any provision of this Guaranty shall
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining  provisions shall not in any way be affected
or impaired thereby.

in exchange for Partnership  Units, as hereinafter  provided.  In such event the
Purchase Price for the Property shall be payable by exchanging for the Property,
Partnership  Units in the  Partnership  having an  aggregate  value equal to the
Purchase Price,  adjusted by the allocations,  credits,  charges and adjustments
provided in this Agreement,  in which event there shall be no credit against the
Purchase Price for the Earnest Money  Deposit,  which shall be returned to Buyer
at  Closing.  The number of  Partnership  Units to be issued to Seller  shall be
established  by dividing such  adjusted  Purchase  Price by the average  closing
price of a share of the common  stock of Regency  over the twenty  trading  days
immediately  preceding  the fifth (5th) trading day prior to the Closing Date on
the New York Stock  Exchange (or the  exchange or quotation  system on which the
common  stock of Regency is then  listed  for  trading).  Under the terms of the
Redemption Agreement Seller, as a limited partner of the Partnership, shall have

 - 8 -



the  right to  require Regency  to acquire  all  of its Partnership Units in the
Partnership  (i)  in exchange for  common stock of  Regency on the  basis of one
Regency   share  for  each  Partnership   Unit  exchanged   (the  "Put  Price"),
provided that  such shares shall  have such  restrictions  as are agreed upon in
the   Partnership  Agreement  and in  the  Redemption   Agreement,  and  further
provided   such  rights   shall  not  be exercised   in a  manner or at any time
which would be or cause a violation of any law or regulation  governing the sale
or disposition  of  securities,  including without  limitation  Rule 144 or (ii)
in exchange for cash, as provided in the Redemption Agreement.  If such exercise
results in  a fractional  share,  Regency  shall pay cash in lieu  thereof in an
amount  equal to  such fraction  multiplied by  the average closing   price of a
Regency  share  during  the twenty  (20) business  days  preceding  the date  of
Seller's  notice.  Regency or  Seller may elect to pay or  receive the Put Price
in cash  instead  of shares  with  respect to all or any portion of the Partner-
ship Units to be exchanged. The Redemption Agreement shall also provide that:

                  (a)  Partnership  and Seller agree that for federal income tax
purposes,  they will report the transfer of the Property to the Partnership as a
contribution to the Partnership  pursuant to Section 721 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986 (the "Code") for  consideration  consisting  solely of  Partnership
Units;

                  (b) For  purposes of Section  704(c) of the  Internal  Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the Partnership will use the "traditional
method" described in Treasury  Regulation Section 1.704-3(b) with respect to the
Property or any interest therein;

                  (c) So  long as the  Partnership  Units  held by the  original
limited partners executing the Redemption Agreement (the "L.P.'s"), which L.P.'s
are intended to be Tod J. Ortlip and Jay Ortlip,  constitute  no less than fifty
percent (50%) in the aggregate of the  Partnership  Units  originally  issued to
such L.P.'s, until the maturity date of the Surviving Mortgage,  the Partnership
will  not take  any  action  which  will  cause a  reduction  in the  amount  of
Partnership  liabilities  allocable  to the L.P.'s  pursuant to Treas.  Reg. ss.
1.752-3(a)(2), except for scheduled payments of debt service; and

                  (d) So  long  as the  Partnership  Units  held  by the  L.P.'s
constitute no less than fifty percent (50%) in the aggregate of the  Partnership
Units  originally  issued to such  L.P.'s,  until the fifth  anniversary  of the
Closing, the Partnership shall not voluntarily dispose of the Property except in
a Section  1031  transaction  under the  Internal  Revenue Code (or in a similar
transaction  that  would not be taxable to such  L.P.'s for  federal  income tax
purposes).

                  (e) So  long  as the  Partnership  Units  held  by the  L.P.'s
constitute no less than fifty percent (50%) in the aggregate of the  Partnership
Units originally issued

 - 9 -



to such L.P.'s,  from and after the maturity date of the Surviving  Mortgage (or
at any earlier time with the consent of the general partner, which consent shall
not be unreasonably  withheld),  the general partner, if requested by one of the
L.P.'s shall  cooperate  with the L.P.'s to allow the L.P.'s to timely incur the
"economic  risk  of  loss"  for  purposes  of  Section  752  of  the  Code  (the
"guarantee")  with  respect to the bottom  portion  of any  indebtedness  of the
Partnership  (such  indebtedness  to  be  reasonably  selected  by  the  general
partner),  provided that the bottom portion  guaranteed does not constitute more
than thirty-five percent (35%) of the then outstanding  principal balance of the
indebtedness.  Such guarantee shall be limited to a maximum aggregate balance of
$_______________  (the "Amount") at any one time.  The guarantee  shall be joint
and  several  as to the L.P.'s  electing  to execute  the  guarantee  and in the
absence of any agreement  among the L.P.'s to the  contrary,  the portion of the
indebtedness  to be guaranteed  shall be allocated  among the L.P.'s electing to
execute the guarantee in proportion to the number of  Partnership  Units held by
each.  An  election  to  execute  the  guarantee  of  any  indebtedness  of  the
Partnership  shall be made by  delivery  of a  written  election  notice  to the
general  partner,  which  indicates  that a majority of the L.P.'s then  holding
Partnership Units have elected to guarantee Partnership indebtedness pursuant to
this Section 2.4(d),  the amount of the  indebtedness (up to the limit set forth
above) and the allocation of  responsibility  of such guarantee among the L.P.'s
making the  election.  The election  may be made only once.  In  satisfying  its
obligations  hereunder,  the general partner of the Partnership shall reasonably
endeavor to identify an amount of  indebtedness  such that the  guarantee can be
made in an amount  approximately  equal to the  Amount,  to  cooperate  with the
L.P.'s to structure any guarantee in a manner that the guarantee terminates at a
time determined by the L.P.'s and to provide  indebtedness to be guaranteed that
the Partnership  anticipates will be outstanding for no less than five (5) years
after the date of the guarantee.  The general  partner shall not be obligated to
incur any expenses with respect to the  foregoing  other than expenses for which
they will be reimbursed by the L.P.'s.


         3.       INSPECTION PERIOD AND CLOSING

Property or its environs,  Buyer may notify  Seller in writing,  within ten (10)
business days after receipt of the

and/or  objections and close the purchase of the Property  subject to such Title
Defects.

                  (b)  Miscellaneous  Title  Matters.  If a search  of the title
discloses judgments,  bankruptcies or other returns against other persons having
names the same as or similar to that of Seller,  Seller shall on request deliver
to Buyer an affidavit stating, if true, that such judgments, bankruptcies or the
returns are not against Seller.  Seller further agrees to execute and deliver to
the Title  Insurance agent at Closing such  documentation,  if any, as the Title
Insurance  underwriter  shall reasonably  require to evidence that the execution

                                AGREEMENT


         THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of the _____ day of July, 1998, by and between
REAL SUB,  INC., a Florida  corporation,  whose  address is 1936 George  Jenkins
Blvd.,  Lakeland,  Florida 33815 ("Partner One"),  and REGENCY CENTERS,  L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership, whose address is Suite 200, 121 W. Forsyth Street,
Jacksonville, Florida 32202 ("Regency").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

         Partner One is the Class A Limited  Partner under that certain  Limited
Partnership  Agreement of  Queensborough  Associates,  L.P.,  a Georgia  limited
partnership  (the  "Partnership"),  dated  July 16,  1992,  as  amended by First
Amendment  dated  December 31, 1992 (the  "Agreement").  There are no additional
amendments to the Agreement.  The Partnership owns a shopping center and related
expansion  properties.  The  partners of the  Partnership  and their  respective
percentage interests are as follows:

                                                           Partnership Interest

 General Partner:            Branch Investment Partners, L.P.            25%
 Class A Limited Partner:    Real Sub, Inc.                            37.5%
 Limited Partner:            Branch/Interallianz Realty Fund, L.P.     18.75%
 Limited Partner:            G. Kloiber                                18.75%

         Under Article 18 of the Agreement, a buy-sell procedure is established.
In Section 18.1,  special  treatment is designated for the respective  partners:
Partner One is treated as one Partner, and all remaining partners are aggregated
and treated as one Partner. The Article therefore operates as if there were only
two partners, which for purposes of this agreement are designated as Partner One
(Real Sub, Inc.), and Partner Two (the other partners).

         Partner One has determined to institute the buy-sell  procedures  under
the Agreement,  and to make an offer (the "First Offer") to Partner Two. Partner
One has made such  determination  based on the  agreement of Regency  and/or its
affiliate(s)  to  become  the  general  partner  and a  limited  partner  of the
Partnership,  such that if the First  Offer is  accepted  or deemed  accepted by
Partner Two, upon closing of the  transactions  contemplated by the First Offer,
Regency will have acquired  fifty  percent  (50%) of the  aggregate  capital and
profits  interests in the  Partnership,  and become with Partner One, all of the
partners of the Partnership.  It is intended that upon such closing, Regency and
its  affiliate(s)  will own  fifty  percent  (50%) of the  aggregate  percentage
interests of the Partnership,  and that Partner One will continue as the Class A
Limited  Partner,  also owning fifty percent  (50%) of the aggregate  percentage
interests of the Partnership.  It is also  contemplated  that upon closing,  the
third party debt of the  Partnership  would be paid in full and that the capital
accounts of Partner One, on the one hand, and Regency (and its  affiliate[s]) on
the other, would be equal.

         Partner  One  and  Regency  desire  to  memorialize   their  agreements
concerning the foregoing matters.

         NOW  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of Ten Dollars  ($10.00)  and other
valuable  consideration,  receipt  of which  is  acknowledged,  Partner  One and
Regency acknowledge and agree as follows:

         1. The foregoing recitals are true.

         2. Attached  hereto as Exhibit "1" is the "First Offer" to be delivered
by  Partner  One to  Partner  Two  under the  provisions  of  Article  18 of the
Agreement,  the said "First  Offer" being  acceptable to each of Partner One and
Regency.  The "First  Offer" is  contingent  upon (i) the status of title to the
Partnership's  property not changing  between the date the "First Offer" is made
and the date of the closing,  and (ii) the interests  being purchased being free
of any lien or encumbrance.

         3. Partner One shall  promptly  execute and cause the First Offer to be
delivered to Partner Two in accordance  with the provisions of the Agreement and
upon  making the First Offer  shall  designate  Regency as the entity to receive
title to fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate  capital and profits  interests in
the  Partnership  should the First Offer be accepted.  Partner One shall furnish
Regency with a copy of the executed First Offer  accompanied by such designation
and a  schedule  of the  required  responses  and  consequent  events  following
thereon.  Upon receipt,  Regency will accept such  designation,  Regency  hereby
agreeing to assume and perform the  obligations of the First Offer to the extent
of the interests to be acquired by Regency  thereunder.  Regency shall  promptly
notify Partner Two of its acceptance of such  designation  and of its assumption
of such obligations.  Partner One shall keep Regency regularly and fully advised
of the status of the First Offer and of  responses  made by Partner Two, if any.
Partner  One shall  furnish to Regency  promptly  after  receipt,  copies of all
correspondence and responses made by Partner Two in connection herewith.
Partner One shall not modify or amend the First Offer  without the prior consent
of Regency.

         4. Attached  hereto  collectively as Exhibit "2" are (i) a current rent
roll; (ii) a copy of a recent title insurance policy covering the  Partnership's
property,  and (iii) a survey of the Partnership's property dated July 17, 1995,
all of which are  acceptable  to  Regency.  Partner  One shall not do any act or
permit any act or omission which would cause a change in occupancy, the state of
the title or the  condition of the property from the date hereof to the closing,
without the prior consent of Regency.

         5. Should Partner Two make or be deemed to have made a counteroffer  in
accordance with the provisions of the Agreement,  this agreement shall terminate
and neither party shall have any further liability hereunder.

         6.  Should  the First  Offer be or be  deemed  to have  been  accepted,
Partner One and Regency shall proceed as  expeditiously as possible to close the
transaction as  contemplated  by the First Offer and the Agreement.  Immediately
following closing the Partnership shall be constituted as follows:

                  General Partner           Regency                    25%
                  Limited Partner           Regency                    25%
                  Class A Limited Partner   Real Sub, Inc.             50%

Regency  shall  thereupon  pay to Partner Two, or reimburse  Partner One, as the
case may be,  an amount  equal to (i) 100% of that  portion  of the First  Offer
payable to Partner Two which is attributable  to Partner Two's Preferred  Return
Accounts and Adjusted  Capital (as defined in the Agreement) of Partner Two, and
(ii) eighty  percent  (50/62.5) of the balance of the amounts paid or payable by
Partner  One to  Partner  Two  under  the  terms  of the  First  Offer,  if any.
Simultaneously  therewith,  Partner  One shall  pay  Partner  Two the  remaining
amounts due under the terms of the First Offer. Prior to the closing Partner One
shall cause the Development  Agreement and the Property Management  Agreement to
be terminated,  effective as of the closing.  Upon closing (i) the Agreement and
the Partnership's Certificate of Limited Partnership shall be amended to reflect
the transactions  contemplated hereby and any other matters to which Partner One
and Regency may agree;  and (ii) the  Partnership  will enter into an  agreement
with Regency Centers, L.P. prior to the closing of the transaction  contemplated
by the First Offer for the management of the property, upon terms and conditions
and in form mutually agreeable to the parties hereto.

         7.  Promptly  after  closing   Partner  One  and  Regency  (and/or  its
affiliate[s])   shall  each  contribute  or  cause  to  be  contributed  to  the
Partnership an amount equal to one-half (1/2) of the aggregate sums necessary to
satisfy all of the  Partnership's  third party debt, it being intended that upon
consummation  of  this  transaction  that  except  for  ordinary  and  necessary
operational  expenses,  similar liabilities,  the Partnership shall have no debt
unless and until the partners shall otherwise agree.

         8. It is the  intention  of the parties that upon  consummation  of the
transactions  contemplated hereby, Partner One, on the one hand, and Regency and
its affiliate(s) on the other, shall have equal percentage interests and capital
accounts in the  Partnership.  For that reason  Partner One and Regency agree to
share equally the out-of-pocket  costs of this transaction,  including  transfer
charges  and  similar  closing  expenses  (excluding  however  the fees of their
respective counsel, which shall be paid separately by each).

         9.  Neither  Partner  One nor  Regency  have  employed a broker or real
estate agent in connection with these matters and to the best of their knowledge
no  brokerage  fee or  commission  is or will  be due in  connection  with  this
transaction.  The parties have considered such issues as casualty,  condemnation
and the financial  condition of tenants in the shopping  center,  and agree that
none shall have a bearing on this  transaction,  except that the proceeds of any
insurance or condemnation payable hereafter shall be shared in such fashion that
each of Partner One and Regency  shall be  entitled to the  benefits  thereof as
partners of the Partnership.

         10. This Agreement and the benefits and  obligations  hereunder are not
assignable  by either  party  except as  specifically  agreed in writing by both
parties.  This Agreement  constitutes  the entire  agreement of the parties with
respect to the matters contemplated hereby.

         11. This Agreement  shall be construed and enforced in accordance  with
the laws of Florida.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF,  the parties have executed this agreement as of the
day and year first above written.

amounts as are necessary to effect such  allocation.  All such payments shall be

borrowed,  the date  such  Revolving  Loan is to be  borrowed  (which  must be a
Business Day),  the use of the proceeds of such Revolving  Loan, the Type of the
requested  Revolving  Loan and if such Revolving Loan is to be a LIBOR Loan, the

         (d) Unless the Agent  shall have been  notified by any Lender that such
Lender will not make  available  to the Agent such  Lender's Pro Rata Share of a
proposed Revolving Loan, the Agent may in its discretion assume that such Lender
has made such Pro Rata Share of such  Revolving  Loan  available to the Agent in
accordance with this Section and the Agent may, if it chooses,  in reliance upon
such  assumption,  make such Pro Rata Share of such  Revolving Loan available to
the Borrower.

                      (B) the  principal  amount  of the Bid Rate  Loan for
                  which  each  such  offer  is  being  made;  provided  that the
                  aggregate  principal  amount of all Bid Rate Loans for which a
                  Lender submits Bid Rate Quotes (x) may be greater or less than
                  the  Commitment  of such  Lender  but (y) shall not exceed the
                  principal  amount of the Bid Rate  Borrowing  for a particular
                  Interest Period for which offers were requested;

                      (C) in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction, the rate
                  of interest per annum (rounded upwards,  if necessary,  to the
                  nearest  1/1,000th of 1%) offered for each such  Absolute Rate
                  Loan (the "Absolute Rate");

                      (D) in the case of a LIBOR Auction,  the margin above
                  or below  applicable  LIBOR (the "LIBOR  Margin")  offered for
                  each  such  LIBOR  Margin  Loan,  expressed  as  a  percentage
                  (rounded  upwards,  if necessary,  to the nearest 1/1,000th of
                  1%) to be added to (or subtracted from) the applicable LIBOR;

                      (E)      the identity of the quoting Lender; and

                      (F) any Bid Rate Quote  shall be in a minimum  amount
                  of $5,000,000  and integral  multiples of $1,000,000 in excess
                  thereof.

                  No Bid Rate Quote shall  contain  qualifying,  conditional  or
         similar  language  or propose  terms other than or in addition to those
         set forth in the  applicable Bid Rate Quote Request and, in particular,
         no Bid Rate Quote may be conditioned upon acceptance by the Borrower of
         all (or some specified minimum) of the principal amount of the Bid Rate
         Loan for which such Bid Rate Quote is being made.

         (d)  Notification by Agent. The Agent shall, as promptly as practicable
after the Bid Rate  Quotes are  submitted  (but in any event not later than 8:30
a.m.  (x) on the proposed  date of  borrowing,  in the case of an Absolute  Rate
Margin and (y) on the date three  Business  Days prior to the  proposed  date of
borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR Auction), notify the Borrower of the terms (i)
of any Bid Rate Quote  submitted by a Lender that is in accordance  with Section
2.2.(c) and (ii) of any Bid Rate Quote that  amends,  modifies  or is  otherwise
inconsistent  with a  previous  Bid Rate Quote  submitted  by such  Lender  with
respect to the same Bid Rate Quote Request.  Any such  subsequent Bid Rate Quote
shall be  disregarded  by the Agent  unless  such  subsequent  Bid Rate Quote is
submitted  solely to correct a manifest error in such former Bid Rate Quote. The
Agent's notice to the Borrower shall specify (A) the aggregate  principal amount
of the Bid Rate  Borrowing  for  which  offers  have been  received  and (B) the
principal amounts and Absolute Rates or LIBOR Margins, as applicable, so offered
by each Lender.

         (e)      Acceptance by Borrower.

                  (i) Not  later  than  9:30 a.m.  (x) on the  proposed  date of
         borrowing,  in the case of an Absolute  Rate Margin and (y) on the date
         three  Business Days prior to the proposed  date of  borrowing,  in the
         case of LIBOR  Auction,  the  Borrower  shall  notify  the Agent of its
         acceptance or nonacceptance of the offers so notified to it pursuant to
         Section  2.2.(d) which notice shall be in the form of Exhibit K. In the
         case of acceptance,  such notice shall specify the aggregate  principal
         amount  of offers  for each  Interest  Period  that are  accepted.  The
         failure  of the  Borrower  to  give  such  notice  by such  time  shall
         constitute nonacceptance. The Borrower may accept any Bid Rate Quote in
         whole or in part; provided that:

                           (A) the aggregate  principal  amount of each Bid Rate
                  Borrowing  may not exceed the  applicable  amount set forth in
                  the related Bid Rate Quote Request;

                           (B) the aggregate  principal  amount of each Bid Rate
                  Borrowing   shall  comply  with  the   provisions  of  Section
                  2.2.(b)(ii)  but  shall  not cause  the  limits  specified  in
                  Section 2.14. to be violated;

                           (C) acceptance  of  offers  may  be  made  only  in
                  ascending  order  of  Absolute  Rates  or  LIBOR  Margins,  as
                  applicable,  in each case  beginning  with the lowest  rate so
                  offered;

                           (D) any  acceptance in part by the Borrower  shall be
                  in a minimum  amount of $5,000,000  and integral  multiples of
                  $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and

                           (E) the  Borrower may not accept any offer that fails
                  to comply with Section  2.2.(c) or  otherwise  fails to comply
                  with the requirements of this Agreement.

                 (ii) If offers are made by two or more  Lenders  with the same
         Absolute Rates or LIBOR Margins, as applicable, for a greater aggregate
         principal  amount  than the  amount  in  respect  of which  offers  are
         accepted for the related Interest  Period,  the principal amount of Bid
         Rate  Loans in  respect of which  such  offers  are  accepted  shall be
         allocated  by  the  Agent  among  such  Lenders  in  proportion  to the
         aggregate principal amount of such offers.  Determinations by the Agent
         of the amounts of Bid Rate Loans shall be  conclusive in the absence of
         manifest error.

         (f) Obligation to Make Bid Rate Loans. The Agent shall promptly (and in
any event not later than (x) 10:00 a.m. on the  proposed  date of  borrowing  of
Absolute  Rate  Loans  and (y) on the  date  three  Business  Days  prior to the
proposed  date of  borrowing  of LIBOR  Margin  Loans)  notify  each Lender that
submitted a Bid Rate Quote as to whose Bid Rate Quote has been  accepted and the
amount and rate  thereof.  A Lender who is notified that it has been selected to
make a Bid Rate Loan may designate its  Designated  Lender (if any) to fund such
Bid Rate Loan on its behalf, as described in Section 12.8. Any Designated Lender
which funds a Bid Rate Loan shall on and after the time of such  funding  become
the obligee under such Bid Rate Loan and be entitled to receive  payment thereof
when due. No Lender shall be relieved of its obligation to fund a Bid Rate Loan,
and no  Designated  Lender shall assume such  obligation,  prior to the time the
applicable Bid Rate Loan is funded.  Any Lender whose offer to make any Bid Rate
Loan has been accepted  shall,  not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date  specified
for the making of such Loan, make the amount of such Loan available to the Agent
at its Principal  Office in immediately  available funds, for the account of the
Borrower.  The amount so received by the Agent  shall,  subject to the terms and
conditions of this  Agreement,  be made available to the Borrower not later than
12:00 noon on such date by depositing the same, in immediately  available funds,
in an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower.

         (g) No Effect on  Commitment.  Except for the purpose and to the extent
expressly  stated in Section  2.9.,  the amount of any Bid Rate Loan made by any
Lender shall not constitute a utilization of such Lender's Commitment.

         SECTION 2.3.  Swingline Loans.

         (a)  Swingline  Loans.  Subject  to the  terms and  conditions  hereof,
including,  without  limitation  Section 2.14.,  if necessary to meet Borrower's
funding  deadline,  the Swingline  Lender agrees to make Swingline  Loans to the
Borrower,  during  the  period  from the  Effective  Date to but  excluding  the
Swingline  Termination  Date, in an aggregate  principal  amount at any one time
outstanding up to, but not exceeding, the amount of the Swingline Commitment. If
at any time the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans outstanding at
such time exceeds the Swingline  Commitment in effect at such time, the Borrower
shall  immediately  pay the Agent for the  account of the  Swingline  Lender the
amount of such excess.  Subject to the terms and  conditions of this  Agreement,
the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans hereunder.

         (b) Procedure for Borrowing  Swingline  Loans.  The Borrower shall give
the Agent and the  Swingline  Lender  notice  pursuant to a Notice of  Swingline
Borrowing  delivered  to the  Swingline  Lender no later  than 9:00 a.m.  on the
proposed date of such borrowing.  Any such  telephonic  notice shall include all
information  to be specified in a written  Notice of  Swingline  Borrowing.  Not
later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of the requested Swingline Loan and subject to
satisfaction  of the  applicable  conditions  set forth in Article  VI. for such
borrowing,  the Swingline  Lender will make the proceeds of such  Swingline Loan
available to the Borrower in Dollars,  in immediately  available  funds,  at the
account specified by the Borrower in the Notice of Swingline Borrowing.

         (c) Interest.  Swingline  Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate
equal to the Base Rate as in effect  from time to time or at such  other rate or
rates as the  Borrower and the  Swingline  Lender may agree from time to time in
writing.  Interest  payable on Swingline  Loans is solely for the account of the
Swingline  Lender.  All accrued and unpaid  interest on Swingline Loans shall be
payable on the dates and in the manner  provided in Section 2.8. with respect to
interest on Base Rate Loans (except as the Swingline Lender and the Borrower may
otherwise agree in writing in connection with any particular Swingline Loan).

         (d) Swingline  Loan Amounts,  Etc. Each  Swingline Loan shall be in the
minimum  amount of  $1,000,000  and  integral  multiples  of  $100,000 in excess
thereof, or such other minimum amounts agreed to by the Swingline Lender and the
Borrower.  Any  voluntary  prepayment  of a  Swingline  Loan must be in integral
multiples  of  $100,000 or the  aggregate  principal  amount of all  outstanding
Swingline Loans (or such other minimum  amounts upon which the Swingline  Lender
and the  Borrower may agree) and in  connection  with any such  prepayment,  the
Borrower must give the Swingline  Lender prior written  notice  thereof no later
than 10:00 a.m. on the day prior to the date of such  prepayment.  The Swingline
Loans shall, in addition to this Agreement, be evidenced by the Swingline Note.

         (e)  Repayment  and  Participations  of Swingline  Loans.  The Borrower
agrees to repay each Swingline  Loan within one Business Day of demand  therefor
by the Swingline Lender and in any event,  within 5 Business Days after the date
such Swingline Loan was made.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall
repay the entire  outstanding  principal  amount of, and all  accrued but unpaid
interest on, the  Swingline  Loans on the  Swingline  Termination  Date (or such
earlier date as the Swingline Lender and the Borrower may agree in writing).  In
lieu of demanding repayment of any outstanding Swingline Loan from the Borrower,
the Swingline  Lender may, on behalf of the Borrower  (which hereby  irrevocably
directs the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf),  request a borrowing of Base
Rate Loans from the Lenders in an amount equal to the principal  balance of such
Swingline  Loan.  The amount  limitations  contained  in the second  sentence of
Section  2.1.(a)  shall  not apply to any  borrowing  of Base  Rate  Loans  made
pursuant to this subsection. The Swingline Lender shall give notice to the Agent
of any such  borrowing  of Base Rate Loans not later than 9:00 a.m. at least one
Business Day prior to the proposed date of such borrowing. Each Lender will make
available  to the Agent at the  Principal  Office for the  account of  Swingline
Lender, in immediately available funds, the proceeds of the Base Rate Loan to be
made by such Lender. The Agent shall pay the proceeds of such Base Rate Loans to
the Swingline  Lender,  which shall apply such proceeds to repay such  Swingline
Loan. If the Lenders are prohibited  from making Loans required to be made under
this subsection for any reason  whatsoever,  including without  limitation,  the
occurrence  of any of the  Defaults or Events of Default  described  in Sections
10.1.(g) or 10.1.(h),  each Lender shall  purchase  from the  Swingline  Lender,
without  recourse or warranty,  an undivided  interest and  participation to the
extent of such  Lender's  Pro Rata Share of such  Swingline  Loan,  by  directly
purchasing a participation  in such Swingline Loan in such amount and paying the
proceeds thereof to the Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender in Dollars
and in immediately  available  funds.  A Lender's  obligation to purchase such a
participation in a Swingline Loan shall be absolute and  unconditional and shall
not be affected by any circumstance  whatsoever,  including without  limitation,
(i) any claim of setoff, counterclaim,  recoupment, defense or other right which
such  Lender  or any other  Person  may have or claim  against  the  Agent,  the
Swingline  Lender  or any  other  Person  whatsoever,  (ii)  the  occurrence  or
continuation of a Default or Event of Default (including without limitation, any
of the Defaults or Events of Default described in Sections 10.1.(g) or 10.1.(h))
or the termination of any Lender's  Commitment,  (iii) the existence (or alleged
existence)  of an event of  condition  which has had or could have a  Materially
Adverse Effect, (iv) any breach of any Loan Document by the Agent, any Lender or
the  Borrower  or (v) any other  circumstance,  happening  or event  whatsoever,
whether or not  similar to any of the  foregoing.  If such amount is not in fact
made available to the Swingline Lender by any Lender, the Swingline Lender shall
be entitled to recover  such amount on demand from such  Lender,  together  with
accrued  interest  thereon for each day from the date of demand thereof,  at the
Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender does not pay such amount  forthwith  upon the
Swingline Lender's demand therefor, and until such time as such Lender makes the
required  payment,  the  Swingline  Lender  shall be deemed to  continue to have
outstanding   Swingline  Loans  in  the  amount  of  such  unpaid  participation
obligation for all purposes of the Loan Documents  (other than those  provisions
requiring the other Lenders to purchase a participation therein).  Further, such
Lender shall be deemed to have  assigned any and all payments  made of principal
and interest on its Loans,  and any other  amounts due to it  hereunder,  to the
Swingline  Lender to fund Swingline Loans in the amount of the  participation in
Swingline  Loans that such Lender  failed to purchase  pursuant to this  Section
until  such  amount  has been  purchased  (as a  result  of such  assignment  or
otherwise).

         SECTION 2.4.  Number of Interest Periods.

         Anything herein to the contrary  notwithstanding,  there may be no more
than 8 different Interest Periods outstanding at the same time.

         SECTION 2.5.  Continuation.

         So long as no Default or Event of Default  shall have  occurred  and be
continuing,  the  Borrower may on any  Business  Day,  with respect to any LIBOR
Loan,  elect to maintain such LIBOR Loan or any portion  thereof as a LIBOR Loan
by selecting a new Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan. Each new Interest Period
selected  under this Section shall  commence on the last day of the  immediately
preceding Interest Period. Each selection of a new Interest Period shall be made
by the Borrower's giving of a Notice of Continuation not later than 9:00 a.m. on
the  third  Business  Day  prior  to the date of any  such  Continuation  by the
Borrower to the Agent.  Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Continuation,  the
Agent shall  notify each Lender by telex or telecopy,  or other  similar form of
transmission  of the  proposed  Continuation.  Such notice by the  Borrower of a
Continuation shall be by telephone or telecopy, confirmed immediately in writing
if by telephone,  in the form of a Notice of  Continuation,  specifying  (a) the
date of such  Continuation,  (b) the LIBOR Loan and portion  thereof  subject to
such Continuation and (c) the duration of the selected  Interest Period,  all of
which  shall be  specified  in such  manner as is  necessary  to comply with all
limitations on Loans outstanding hereunder. Each Notice of Continuation shall be
irrevocable  by and binding on the Borrower  once given.  If the Borrower  shall
fail to select in a timely  manner a new  Interest  Period for any LIBOR Loan in
accordance with this Section,  such Loan will automatically,  on the last day of
the  current  Interest  Period   therefore,   Convert  into  a  Base  Rate  Loan
notwithstanding  failure of the Borrower to comply with Section 2.6. In the case
of the  Continuation of only a portion of a LIBOR Loan, such portion shall be in
the aggregate amount for all of the Lenders of $1,000,000 or integral  multiples
of $100,000 in excess of that amount.

         SECTION 2.6.  Conversion.

         So long as no Default or Event of Default  shall have  occurred  and be
continuing,  the Borrower may on any Business Day, upon the Borrower's giving of
a Notice of  Conversion  to the Agent,  Convert  the  entire  amount of all or a
portion of a Revolving  Loan of one Type into a Revolving  Loan of another Type.
Promptly  after receipt of a Notice of  Conversion,  the Agent shall notify each
Lender  by telex or  telecopy,  or other  similar  form of  transmission  of the
proposed Conversion.  Any Conversion of a LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan shall
be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan.
Each such  Notice of  Conversion  shall be given not later than 9:00 a.m. on the
Business Day prior to the date of any proposed  Conversion  into Base Rate Loans
and on the third Business Day prior to the date of any proposed  Conversion into
LIBOR  Loans.  Subject  to the  restrictions  specified  above,  each  Notice of
Conversion shall be by telephone or telecopy confirmed immediately in writing if
by telephone in the form of a Notice of Conversion  specifying (a) the requested
date of such Conversion, (b) the Type of Revolving Loan to be Converted, (c) the
portion  of  such  Type  of  Revolving  Loan to be  Converted,  (d) the  Type of
Revolving  Loan  such  Revolving  Loan is to be  Converted  into and (e) if such
Conversion is into a LIBOR Loan, the requested  duration of the Interest  Period
of such Revolving  Loan.  Each Notice of Conversion  shall be irrevocable by and
binding on the Borrower once given.  Each  Conversion from a Base Rate Loan to a
LIBOR Loan shall be in an aggregate  amount for the  Revolving  Loans of all the
Lenders of not less than $1,000,000 or integral  multiples of $100,000 in excess
of that amount.

         SECTION 2.7.  Interest Rate.

         (a) All Loans.  The unpaid  principal of each Base Rate Loan shall bear
interest  from the date of the making of such Loan to but not including the date
of  repayment  thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate in effect from
day to day plus the Applicable  Margin.  The unpaid principal of each LIBOR Loan
shall  bear  interest  from  the  date of the  making  of  such  Loan to but not
including  the date of  repayment  thereof at a rate per annum equal to the LIBO
Rate for such Loan for the Interest Period therefor plus the Applicable  Margin.
The unpaid  principal  of each  Absolute  Rate Loan shall bear  interest  at the
Absolute  Rate for such  Loan for the  Interest  Period  therefor  quoted by the
Lender making such Loan in accordance with Section 2.2. The unpaid  principal of
each LIBOR  Margin  Loan shall bear  interest at the LIBO Rate for such Loan for
the Interest  Period  therefor plus the LIBOR Margin quoted by the Lender making
such Loan in accordance with Section 2.2.

         (b)  Default  Rate.  All  past-due  principal  of,  and to  the  extent
permitted  by  Applicable  Law,  interest  on,  the Loans and all  Reimbursement
Obligations shall bear interest until paid at the Base Rate from time to time in
effect plus four percent (4%).

         SECTION 2.8.  Repayment of Loans.

         (a) Payment of Interest.  All accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid
principal  amount of each Loan shall be  payable  (i) in the case of a Base Rate
Loan or a LIBOR  Loan,  monthly  in  arrears  on the  first  day of each  month,
commencing  with the first full  calendar  month  occurring  after the Effective
Date,  (ii) in the case of a Bid  Rate  Loan,  on the last day of each  Interest
Period therefor and, if such Interest Period is longer than a month,  monthly in
arrears on the first day of each month,  commencing with the first full calendar
month following the first day of such Interest Period,  and (iii) for all Loans,
(A) on the Revolving  Credit  Termination  Date, (B) on the Termination Date and
(C) on any date on which the  principal  balance of such Loan is due and payable
in full.

         (b) Payment of Principal of Revolving Loans.  Subject to Section 2.11.,
the Borrower  shall repay the  aggregate  outstanding  principal  balance of all
Revolving Loans in full on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

         (c) Bid Rate Loans.  The  Borrower  shall repay the entire  outstanding
principal amount of each Bid Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest Period of
such Bid Rate Loan.

         (d) Payment of  Principal of Term Loans.  The Borrower  shall repay the
aggregate  principal  balance  of the  Term  Loans in  eight  equal  consecutive
quarterly  installments due on the first day of June first following the date of
conversion  of the  Revolving  Loans into the Term Loans and on the first day of
each  subsequent  September,  December,  March and June until the Term Loans are
paid in full. Each installment  shall be in an amount equal to one-eighth of the
initial  aggregate  principal  balance of the Term  Loans.  Notwithstanding  the
foregoing,  the entire outstanding  principal balance of each Term Loan shall be
due and payable in full on the Termination Date.

         (e) Optional Prepayments.  The Borrower may, upon at least one Business
Day's prior notice to the Agent, prepay any Revolving Loan or Term Loan in whole
at any  time,  or from time to time in part in an amount  equal to  $500,000  or
integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount, by paying the principal
amount to be prepaid.  If the Borrower  shall prepay the  principal of any LIBOR
Loan on any date  other  than the last  day of the  Interest  Period  applicable
thereto,  the Borrower shall pay the amounts, if any, due under Section 5.4. Bid
Rate Loans may not be prepaid at the option of the Borrower.

         (f) Mandatory  Prepayments.  If at any time the  aggregate  outstanding
principal  balance  of Loans  and the  aggregate  amount  of  Letter  of  Credit
Liabilities  exceeds the Maximum Loan  Availability,  then the  Borrower  shall,
within 15 days of the Borrower  obtaining  actual knowledge of the occurrence of
such excess,  deliver to the Agent and each Lender a written plan  acceptable to
the Lenders to eliminate such excess,  whether by the  designation of additional
Properties  as  Unencumbered  Pool  Properties,  by  the  Borrower  repaying  an
appropriate  amount of Loans,  or  otherwise.  If such excess is not  eliminated
within 45 days of the Borrower  obtaining  actual  knowledge  of the  occurrence
thereof,  then the entire outstanding  principal balance of all Loans,  together
with all accrued interest  thereon,  and an amount equal to all Letter of Credit
Liabilities  for deposit into the Collateral  Account,  shall be immediately due
and  payable  in full.  If at any time the  aggregate  principal  amount  of all
outstanding  Bid Rate  Loans  exceeds  the  lesser of (i)  $250,000,000  or (ii)
one-half  of the  aggregate  amount of all  Commitments  at such time,  then the
Borrower shall  immediately  pay to the Agent for the accounts of the applicable
Lenders the amount of such excess.  Such payment shall be applied as provided in
Section 3.3.(f).

         (g) General  Provisions as to Payments.  Except to the extent otherwise
provided  herein,  all payments of  principal,  interest and other amounts to be
made by the Borrower under this Agreement,  the Notes or any other Loan Document
shall be made in  Dollars,  in  immediately  available  funds,  without  setoff,
deduction or counterclaim,  to the Agent at the Principal Office, not later than
11:00 a.m. on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment
made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next
succeeding  Business Day). Each payment received by the Agent for the account of
a Lender  under this  Agreement  or any Note shall be paid to such Lender (i) on
the date of receipt by the Agent if  received  not later than 11:00 a.m.  on the
due date of such  payment or (ii) not later than the  Business  Day  immediately
following  the date of receipt by the Agent if received  after 11:00 a.m. on the
due date of such  payment.  Such payments by the Agent shall be paid to a Lender
by wire transfer of immediately  available  funds in accordance  with the wiring
instructions  provided  by such  Lender to the Agent from time to time,  for the
account of such Lender at the applicable  Lending Office of such Lender.  In the
event the Agent fails to pay such amounts to such Lender  within the time period
provided in the  immediately  preceding  clause (i) or (ii), as applicable,  the
Agent shall pay interest on such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal
Funds rate from time to time in  effect.  If the due date of any  payment  under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document would otherwise fall on a day which is
not a Business Day such date shall be extended to the next  succeeding  Business
Day and interest  shall  continue to accrue at the rate,  if any,  applicable to
such payment for the period of such extension.

         SECTION 2.9.  Voluntary Reductions of the Commitments.

         The Borrower may terminate or reduce the amount of the Commitments (for
which  purpose use of the  Commitments  shall be deemed to include the aggregate
principal  amount of all  outstanding Bid Rate Loans and Swingline Loans and the
aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit  Liabilities) at any time and from time
to time without  penalty or premium upon not less than five  Business Days prior
notice to the Agent of each such  termination  or reduction,  which notice shall
specify the effective date thereof and the amount of any such  reduction  (which
in the case of any partial  reduction of the Commitments  shall not be less than
$5,000,000 and integral  multiples of $5,000,000 in excess of that amount in the
aggregate) and shall be  irrevocable  once given and effective only upon receipt
by the Agent. The Commitments, once reduced pursuant to this Section, may not be
increased.  The Borrower shall pay all interest and fees on the Revolving  Loans
accrued to the date of such reduction or  termination of the  Commitments to the
Agent for the account of the Lenders.  Any reduction in the aggregate  amount of
the Commitments shall result in a proportionate  reduction  (rounded to the next
lowest  integral  multiple of multiple of $100,000) in the Swingline  Commitment
and the L/C Commitment Amount.

         SECTION 2.10.  Extension of Revolving Credit Termination Date.

         (a) The Borrower may request that the Agent and the Lenders  extend the
current Revolving Credit  Termination Date by successive  one-year  intervals by
executing and  delivering to the Agent at least 60 days but no more than 90 days
prior to the date one year prior to the  current  Revolving  Credit  Termination
Date, a written request in the form of Exhibit M (an "Extension  Request").  The
Agent shall forward to each Lender a copy of each Extension Request delivered to
the Agent  promptly  upon  receipt  thereof.  If all of the  Lenders  shall have
notified  the Agent on or prior to the date  which is 30 days  prior to the date
one year prior to the current Revolving Credit Termination Date that they accept
such Extension Request,  the Revolving Credit Termination Date shall be extended
for one year. If any Lender shall not have notified the Agent on or prior to the
date which is 30 days prior to the date one year prior to the  Revolving  Credit
Termination  Date that it accepts such Extension  Request,  the Revolving Credit
Termination  Date shall not be extended except as otherwise  permitted under the
immediately  following  subsection  (b).  The Agent  shall  promptly  notify the
Borrower whether the Extension  Request has been accepted or rejected as well as
which Lender or Lenders rejected Borrower's Extension Request (each such Lender,
a  "Rejecting  Lender").  The  Borrower  understands  that this Section has been
included in this  Agreement  for the  Borrower's  convenience  in  requesting an
extension and  acknowledges  that none of the Lenders nor the Agent has promised
(either   expressly  or  impliedly),   nor  has  any  obligation  or  commitment
whatsoever, to extend the Revolving Credit Termination Date at any time.

         (b)  Notwithstanding  the  preceding  subsection  (a), if the  Borrower
receives notification from the Agent that an Extension Request has been rejected
(a  "Notice  of  Rejection"),  and  provided  that the  aggregate  amount of all
Commitments of the Rejecting Lenders does not exceed 20% of the aggregate amount
of Commitments then  outstanding,  the Borrower may elect,  with respect to each
such  Rejecting  Lender,  by  giving  written  notice  to the  Agent of any such
election  within 15 days after receipt by the Borrower of a Notice of Rejection,
to either (i) require such Rejecting Lender to assign its respective  Commitment
to an Eligible Assignee as contemplated in the immediately  following clause (x)
or (ii) pay in full the amount of Loans,  interest and fees,  together  with all
amounts,  if any, payable under Section 5.4., owing to such Rejecting Lender and
terminate such Rejecting Lender's  Commitment as contemplated in the immediately
following clause (y). If the Borrower has made a timely election as permitted by
the  preceding  sentence,  then the Borrower  shall take either of the following
actions as specified in such election:  (x) demand that such  Rejecting  Lender,
and upon such demand such Rejecting Lender shall promptly, assign its respective
Commitment  to an  Eligible  Assignee  subject  to and in  accordance  with  the
provisions  of Section  12.8.(c)  for a purchase  price  equal to the  aggregate
principal  balance of Loans then  outstanding and owing to such Rejecting Lender
plus any accrued but unpaid  interest  thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing
to such Rejecting  Lender,  any such  assignment to be completed  within 30 days
after  receipt by the  Borrower of a Notice of  Rejection  or (y) within 30 days
after  receipt by the Borrower of a Notice of Rejection,  pay to such  Rejecting
Lender the aggregate  principal  balance of Loans then  outstanding and owing to
such Rejecting  Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest  thereon and accrued
but unpaid fees owing to such Rejecting  Lender,  together with all amounts,  if
any, payable under Section 5.4.,  whereupon such Rejecting  Lender's  Commitment
shall terminate,  and such Rejecting Lender shall no longer be a party hereto or
have any  rights  or  obligations  hereunder  or  under  any of the  other  Loan
Documents.  None of the Agent,  such Rejecting Lender, or any other Lender shall
be obligated in any way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist
in finding an Assignee.  If all  Rejecting  Lenders have either  assigned  their
Commitments to Eligible Assignees as contemplated by the preceding clause (x) or
have been paid the amounts  specified  in the  preceding  clause  (y),  then the
Borrower's  Extension  Request which was initially  rejected  shall be deemed to
have been granted and accordingly the Revolving Credit Termination Date shall be
extended by one year,  otherwise the Revolving Credit Termination Date shall not
be extended.  If the aggregate  amount of Commitments  of the Rejecting  Lenders
exceeds  20% of the  aggregate  amount  of  Commitments  then  outstanding,  the
Revolving Credit Termination Date shall not be extended.

         SECTION 2.11.  Term Loan Conversion.

         Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, if any Extension
Request of the Borrower shall be denied,  the Borrower may then elect to convert
each  Lender's  Pro Rata Share of the  aggregate  principal  amount of Revolving
Loans  outstanding  on the date one year prior to the current  Revolving  Credit
Termination  Date into a term loan  owing to such  Lender  (each a "Term  Loan")
provided  (a) the  Borrower has given the Agent at least 15 days prior notice of
the  Borrower's  intention  to so  convert  the  Revolving  Loans  and  (b)  the
conditions set forth in Section 6.3. have been satisfied as of the date one year
prior to the current Revolving Credit Termination Date. Subject to the terms and
conditions  hereof,  any such  conversion  shall be effective as of the date one
year  prior  to  the  current  Revolving  Credit   Termination  Date.  Upon  the
effectiveness  of  the  conversion  of  the  outstanding  principal  balance  of
Revolving Loans into Term Loans as  contemplated  by this Section,  the Borrower
shall have no right to borrow,  and no Lender shall have any obligation to make,
any Revolving Loans.

         SECTION 2.12.  Notes.

         The  Revolving  Loans and the Term Loan made by each Lender  shall,  in
addition  to this  Agreement,  also be  evidenced  by a  promissory  note of the
Borrower  substantially  in the form of  Exhibit  C (each a  "Revolving  Note"),
payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount equal to the amount of
its  Commitment as originally in effect and otherwise  duly  completed.  The Bid
Rate Loans made by any Lender  shall,  in  addition to this  Agreement,  also be
evidenced by a single promissory note of the Borrower  substantially in the form
of Exhibit D (each a "Bid Rate  Note"),  dated the date  hereof,  payable to the
order of such Lender and otherwise duly completed.

         SECTION 2.13.  Option to Replace Lenders.

         If any Lender, other than the Agent in its capacity as such, shall:

         (a) have notified Agent of a determination under Section 5.1.(a) or
become subject to the provisions of Section 5.3.; or

         (b) make any demand for  payment or  reimbursement  pursuant to Section
5.1.(c) or Section 5.4.;

then,  provided  that (x)  there  does not then  exist any  Default  or Event of
Default  and (y) the  circumstances  resulting  in such  demand  for  payment or
reimbursement  under  Section  5.1.(c) or Section 5.4. or the  applicability  of
Section  5.1.(a) or Section 5.3.  are not  applicable  to the  Majority  Lenders
generally,  the Borrower  may either (x) demand that such Lender,  and upon such
demand  such Lender  shall  promptly,  assign its  respective  Commitment  to an
Eligible  Assignee  subject to and in accordance  with the provisions of Section
12.8.(c) for a purchase price equal to the aggregate  principal balance of Loans
then  outstanding  and owing to such Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest
thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to such Lender, any such assignment to
be  completed   within  30  days  after  the  making  by  such  Lender  of  such
determination  or demand  for  payment or (y) within 30 days after the making by
such  Lender of such  determination  or demand for  payment,  pay to Agent,  for
deposit into the Collateral  Account,  an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata
Share of all outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities and pay to such Lender the
aggregate  principal  balance of Loans then outstanding and owing to such Lender
plus any accrued but unpaid  interest  thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing
to such Lender,  whereupon such Lender's  Commitment shall  terminate,  and such
Lender  shall no longer  be a party  hereto  or have any  rights or  obligations
hereunder  or under any of the other Loan  Documents.  None of the  Agent,  such
Lender, or any other Lender shall be obligated in any way whatsoever to initiate
any such replacement or to assist in finding an Assignee.

         SECTION 2.14.  Amount Limitations.

         Notwithstanding  any other  term of this  Agreement  or any other  Loan
Document,  at no time may (a) the aggregate  principal amount of all outstanding
Revolving Loans, together with the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding
Swingline  Loans, the aggregate amount of all outstanding Bid Rate Loans and the
aggregate  amount of all Letter of Credit  Liabilities,  exceed the Maximum Loan
Availability  at  such  time  or  (b)  the  aggregate  principal  amount  of all
outstanding  Bid Rate  Loans  exceed  the  lesser  of (i)  $250,000,000  or (ii)
one-half of the aggregate amount of all Commitments at such time.

         SECTION 2.15.  Letters of Credit.

         (a)  Letters of Credit.  Subject  to the terms and  conditions  of this
Agreement including, without limitation,  Section 2.14., the Agent, on behalf of
Lenders,  agrees to issue for the account of the Borrower during the period from
and  including  the  Effective  Date to, but  excluding,  the  Revolving  Credit
Termination  Date one or more  letters of credit  (each a "Letter of Credit") in
such form and containing such terms as may be requested from time to time by the
Borrower and acceptable to the Agent, up to a maximum aggregate Stated Amount at
any one time outstanding not to exceed the L/C Commitment Amount.

         (b) Terms of Letters of Credit.  At the time of  issuance,  the amount,
terms and conditions of each Letter of Credit,  and of any drafts or acceptances
thereunder,  shall  be  subject  to  approval  by the  Agent  and the  Borrower.
Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  in no event may (i) the expiration  date of any
Letter of Credit extend beyond the Revolving Credit  Termination  Date, (ii) any
Letter  of  Credit  have an  initial  duration  in excess of one year or (iii) a
Letter of Credit be issued  within 30 days of the Revolving  Credit  Termination
Date.  The  initial  Stated  Amount of each  Letter of Credit  shall be at least
$100,000.

         (c) Requests for Issuance of Letters of Credit.  In connection with the
proposed  issuance of a Letter of Credit,  the Borrower shall give Agent written
notice  (or  telephonic  notice  promptly  confirmed  in  writing)  prior to the
requested  date of  issuance  of a Letter of Credit,  such notice to describe in
reasonable  detail the proposed terms of such Letter of Credit and the nature of
the  transactions  or  obligations  proposed to be  supported  by such Letter of
Credit,  and in any event shall set forth with  respect to such Letter of Credit
(i) the proposed initial Stated Amount, (ii) the beneficiary, (iii) whether such
Letter  of Credit  is a  commercial  or  standby  letter of credit  and (iv) the
proposed  expiration  date.  The  Borrower  shall also  execute and deliver such
customary  applications  and agreements for standby  letters of credit,  standby
letter of credit agreements, applications for amendment to letter of credit, and
other forms as requested  from time to time by the Agent.  Provided the Borrower
has given the notice prescribed by the first sentence of this subsection and the
Borrower has executed and  delivered to the Agent the  agreements,  applications
and other  forms as  required  by the  immediately  preceding  sentence  of this
subsection, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including
the  satisfaction  of any applicable  conditions  precedent set forth in Article
VI., the Agent agrees to issue the  requested  Letter of Credit on the requested
date of issuance for the benefit of the stipulated  beneficiary  but in no event
prior to the date 5  Business  Days  following  the date  after  which the Agent
received the items  required to be delivered to it under this  subsection.  Upon
the written  request of the Borrower,  the Agent shall deliver to the Borrower a
copy of (i) any Letter of Credit  proposed to be issued  hereunder  prior to the
issuance  thereof and (ii) each issued Letter of Credit within a reasonable time
after the date of issuance thereof. To the extent any term of a Letter of Credit
Document  is  inconsistent  with a term of any  Loan  Document,  the term of the
Letter of Credit Document shall control.

         (d)  Reimbursement  Obligations.  Upon  receipt  by the Agent  from the
beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of any demand for payment under such Letter of
Credit, the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of the amount to be paid by
the Agent as a result of such demand and the date on which payment is to be made
by the Agent to such beneficiary in respect of such demand.  The Borrower hereby
unconditionally  and  irrevocably  agrees to pay and reimburse the Agent for the
amount of each demand for payment under such Letter of Credit at or prior to the
date on which payment is to be made by the Agent to the beneficiary  thereunder,
without  presentment,  demand,  protest or other  formalities of any kind.  Upon
receipt by the Agent of any payment in respect of any Reimbursement  Obligation,
the Agent agrees to pay to each Lender that has acquired a participation therein
under the second  sentence of Section  2.15.(f)  such Lender's Pro Rata Share of
such payment.

         (e) Manner of  Reimbursement.  Upon its receipt of a notice referred to
in the immediately preceding subsection (d), the Borrower shall advise the Agent
whether  or not  the  Borrower  intends  to  borrow  hereunder  to  finance  its
obligation  to  reimburse  the Agent for the  amount of the  related  demand for
payment  and, if it does,  the Borrower  shall submit a timely  request for such
borrowing  as  provided  in the  applicable  provisions  of this  Agreement.  If
Borrower fails to reimburse the Agent for a demand for payment under a Letter of
Credit by the date of such  payment,  the Agent  shall give each  Lender  prompt
notice  thereof  and of the amount of the demand for  payment,  specifying  such
Lender's Pro Rata Share of the amount of the related demand for payment.

         (f) Lenders'  Participation in Letters of Credit.  Immediately upon the
issuance  by the Agent of any Letter of Credit  each  Lender  shall be deemed to
have  irrevocably  and  unconditionally  purchased  and received from the Agent,
without  recourse or warranty,  an undivided  interest and  participation to the
extent of such  Lender's  Pro Rata  Share of the  liability  of the  Agent  with
respect  to such  Letter of Credit and each  Lender  thereby  shall  absolutely,
unconditionally  and irrevocably  assume,  as primary obligor and not as surety,
and shall be  unconditionally  obligated to the Agent to pay and discharge  when
due, such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Agent's  liability under such Letter of
Credit. In addition, upon the making of each payment by a Lender to the Agent in
respect of any Letter of Credit pursuant to the immediately following subsection
(g), such Lender shall, automatically and without any further action on the part
of the Agent or such Lender,  acquire (i) a participation  in an amount equal to
such payment in the Reimbursement  Obligation owing to the Agent by the Borrower
in respect of such  Letter of Credit and (ii) a  participation  in a  percentage
equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share in any interest or other  amounts  payable
by the  Borrower in respect of such  Reimbursement  Obligation  (other than fees
owing only to the Agent).

         (g) Payment Obligation of Lenders.  Each Lender severally agrees to pay
to the Agent on demand in immediately  available  funds in Dollars the amount of
such Lender's Pro Rata Share of each drawing paid by the Agent under each Letter
of Credit to the extent such amount is not  reimbursed by the Borrower  pursuant
to Section 2.15.(d) and (e) or the other Letter of Credit  Documents.  Each such
Lender's  obligation to make such  payments to the Agent under this  subsection,
and the Agent's right to receive the same,  shall be absolute,  irrevocable  and
unconditional  and  shall  not  be  affected  in any  way  by  any  circumstance
whatsoever, including without limitation, (i) the failure of any other Lender to
make its payment  under this  subsection,  (ii) the  financial  condition of the
Borrower, (iii) the existence of any Default or Event of Default,  including any
Event of Default described in Section 10.1.(g) or (h) or (iv) the termination of
the  Commitments.  Each such  payment  to the Agent  shall be made  without  any
offset, abatement, withholding or deduction whatsoever.

         (h) Agent's Duties Regarding Letters of Credit; Unconditional Nature of
Reimbursement  Obligation.  In examining  documents presented in connection with
drawings  under  Letters  of Credit and making  payments  under such  Letters of
Credit against such documents,  the Agent shall only be required to use the same
standard of care as it uses in connection with examining  documents presented in
connection  with  drawings  under  letters  of  credit  in which it has not sold
participations  and making  payments under such letters of credit.  The Borrower
assumes  all risks of the acts and  omissions  of, or misuse of the  Letters  of
Credit  by,  the  respective   beneficiaries  of  such  Letters  of  Credit.  In
furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, neither the Agent nor any of
Lenders shall be responsible (i) for the form, validity, sufficiency,  accuracy,
genuineness  or  legal  effects  of  any  document  submitted  by any  party  in
connection with the application for and issuance of or any drawing honored under
any  Letter  of  Credit  even if it  should  in fact  prove  to be in any or all
respects invalid, insufficient,  inaccurate,  fraudulent or forged; (ii) for the
validity  or  sufficiency  of  any  instrument   transferring  or  assigning  or
purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit, or the rights or benefits
thereunder  or  proceeds  thereof,  in whole or in part,  which  may prove to be
invalid or ineffective  for any reason;  (iii) for failure of the beneficiary of
any Letter of Credit to comply fully with  conditions  required in order to draw
upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) for errors, omissions,  interruptions or delays
in transmission or delivery of any messages,  by mail, cable, telex, telecopy or
otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) for errors in interpretation of
technical terms;  (vi) for any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of
any document  required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit, or
of the proceeds thereof;  (vii) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of any
such  Letter of Credit,  or the  proceeds  of any  drawing  under such Letter of
Credit;  and (viii) for any consequences  arising from causes beyond the control
of the Agent or the Lenders.  None of the above shall affect,  impair or prevent
the vesting of any of the Agent's rights or powers  hereunder.  Any action taken
or omitted to be taken by the Agent  under or in  connection  with any Letter of
Credit,  if taken or  omitted  in the  absence  of gross  negligence  or willful
misconduct,  shall not create against the Agent any liability to the Borrower or
any Lender. In this connection,  the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the
Agent for any  drawing  made  under any  Letter  of  Credit  shall be  absolute,
unconditional  and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement or any other applicable  Letter of Credit Document under
all  circumstances  whatsoever,  including  without  limitation,  the  following
circumstances:  (i) any lack of  validity  or  enforceability  of any  Letter of
Credit Document or any term or provisions therein;  (ii) any amendment or waiver
of or any  consent  to  departure  from  all or any  of  the  Letter  of  Credit
Documents;  (iii) the  existence  of any claim,  setoff,  defense or other right
which the  Borrower  may have at any time  against the Agent,  any  Lender,  any
beneficiary  of a Letter of Credit or any other  Person,  whether in  connection
with this Agreement,  the transactions  contemplated  hereby or in the Letter of
Credit  Documents or any unrelated  transaction;  (iv) any breach of contract or
dispute between  Borrower,  the Agent,  any Lender or any other Person;  (v) any
demand,  statement  or any  other  document  presented  under a Letter of Credit
proving to be forged, fraudulent,  invalid or insufficient in any respect or any
statement therein or made in connection  therewith being untrue or inaccurate in
any  respect  whatsoever;  (vi) any  non-application  or  misapplication  by the
beneficiary  of a Letter of Credit of the  proceeds  of any  drawing  under such
Letter of Credit;  (vii) payment by the Agent under the Letter of Credit against
presentation  of a draft or certificate  which does not strictly comply with the
terms of the Letter of Credit;  and (viii) any other act, omission to act, delay
or circumstance  whatsoever that might,  but for the provisions of this Section,
constitute  a legal or  equitable  defense  to or  discharge  of the  Borrower's
Reimbursement Obligations.

         (i)  Amendments,  Etc.  The  issuance  by the  Agent of any  amendment,
supplement or other modification to any Letter of Credit shall be subject to the
same conditions  applicable  under this Agreement to the issuance of new Letters
of Credit,  and no such  amendment,  supplement or other  modification  shall be
issued unless either (i) the respective  Letter of Credit affected thereby would
have complied with such  conditions had it originally  been issued  hereunder in
such amended,  supplemented or modified form or (ii) the Majority  Lenders shall
have consented thereto.

         (j)  Information  to Lenders.  Promptly  following  the issuance of any
Letters of Credit,  the Agent shall deliver to the  Borrower,  and each Lender a
notice  describing the aggregate amount of all Letters of Credit  outstanding at
such time.  Upon the  request of any Lender  from time to time,  the Agent shall
deliver any other information  reasonably  requested by such Lender with respect
to each  Letter  of Credit  then  outstanding.  Other  than as set forth in this
subsection,  the  Agent  shall  have no duty to  notify  Lenders  regarding  the
issuance or other  matters  regarding  Letters of Credit issued  hereunder.  The
failure of the Agent to perform its requirements under this subsection shall not
relieve any Lender from its obligations under Section 2.15.(g).

         (k) Effect of Letters of Credit on  Commitments.  Upon the  issuance by
the Agent of any  Letter of Credit and until  such  Letter of Credit  shall have
expired or been terminated,  the Commitment of each Lender shall be deemed to be
utilized for all purposes of this  Agreement in an amount equal to such Lender's
Pro Rata Share of the Stated  Amount of such  Letter of Credit  plus any related
Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding.

         (l)  Termination of Agreement Prior to Expiration of Letters of Credit;
Letter of Credit  Liabilities in Excess of L/C Commitment Amount. If on the date
(the  "Facility   Termination  Date")  this  Agreement  is  terminated  (whether
voluntarily,  by reason of the  occurrence  of an Event of Default or otherwise)
any Letters of Credit are  outstanding,  the  Borrower  shall,  on the  Facility
Termination Date, pay to the Agent an amount of money equal to the Stated Amount
of such  Letter(s) of Credit,  together  with the amount of any fees which would
otherwise  be payable by the  Borrower to the Agent or the Lenders in respect of
such Letters of Credit but for the occurrence of the Facility  Termination  Date
for deposit into a the Collateral  Account.  If at any time the aggregate Stated
Amount of all  outstanding  Letters of Credit  shall  exceed the L/C  Commitment
Amount then in effect,  the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for deposit into the
Collateral  Account an amount equal to such excess. If a drawing pursuant to any
such Letter of Credit occurs on or prior to the  expiration  date of such Letter
of Credit, the Borrower authorizes the Agent to disburse the monies deposited in
the Collateral  Account to make payment to the beneficiary  with respect to such
drawing.  If no drawing  occurs on or prior to the  expiration  date of any such
Letter of Credit, the Agent shall return to the Borrower the monies deposited in
the Collateral  Account with respect to such outstanding  Letter of Credit on or
before the date 30 Business Days after the  expiration  date with respect to the
Letter of Credit.

         (m) Additional Costs in Respect of Letters of Credit. If as a result of
the  adoption  of any  Applicable  Law or  guideline  of  general  applicability
regarding  capital  adequacy,  or  any  change  therein,  or any  change  in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority,  central
bank or comparable  agency  charged with the  interpretation  or  administration
thereof,  or if as a  result  of  any  risk-based  capital  guideline  or  other
requirement heretofore or hereafter issued by any Governmental Authority,  there
shall be  imposed,  modified  or deemed  applicable  any tax,  reserve,  special
deposit,  capital adequacy or similar  requirement against or with respect to or
measured by  reference  to Letters of Credit and the result shall be to increase
the cost to the Agent of issuing (or any Lender purchasing participations in) or
maintaining its obligation  hereunder to issue (or purchase  participations  in)
any Letter of Credit or reduce any amount  receivable by the Agent or any Lender
hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit,  then, upon demand by the Agent or
such Lender,  the Borrower shall pay immediately to the Agent or such Lender, as
applicable,  from  time to time as  specified  by the  Agent or a  Lender,  such
additional amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate the Agent or such Lender
for such increased costs or reductions in amount.

the Agent for the  account  of the  Lenders  a  facility  fee equal to the daily
aggregate  amount of the Commitments  (whether or not utilized) times a rate per
annum equal to the  Applicable  Facility Fee. Such fee shall accrue  through the
last day of each  calendar  quarter and shall be payable in arrears on the fifth
day following the end of such calendar quarter.  The Borrower  acknowledges that
the fee  payable  hereunder  is a bona fide  commitment  fee and is  intended as

the Borrower as described herein and for no other purposes.

         (b) Extension Fee. If, pursuant to Section 2.10.,  the Revolving Credit

one-fifth of one percent  (0.20%) of the amount of such  Lender's  Commitment at
such time.  Such fee shall be payable on the date five days following the sooner
of the date on which the Agent  notified the  Borrower of such  extension or the
date on which such extension is effective.

         (c) Term Loan  Conversion  Fee.  If,  pursuant  to Section  2.11.,  the
outstanding  balance  of  Revolving  Loans is  converted  into Term  Loans,  the
Borrower  agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender a conversion
fee equal to  one-quarter  of one percent  (0.25%) per annum of the  outstanding
principal  balance of such  Lender's Term Loan on the first  anniversary  of the
date of the conversion of the Revolving  Loans into the Term Loans,  such fee to
be payable on such anniversary date.

         (d) Bid Rate Loan Fees.  The  Borrower  agrees to pay to the Agent such

         (f) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower  agrees to pay to the Agent for
account of each  Lender a letter of credit fee at a rate per annum  equal to one
and seventy-five  one-thousandths  percent (1.075%) of the Stated Amount of each
Letter of Credit on the date of  issuance  of such  Letter of Credit and on each
annual  anniversary of the date of issuance  thereof until such Letter of Credit
has expired. The fee provided for in the immediately preceding sentence shall be
nonrefundable. The Borrower shall pay directly to the Agent from time to time on
demand all commissions,  charges,  costs and expenses in the amounts customarily
charged by the Agent from time to time in like circumstances with respect to the
issuance of each Letter of Credit,  drawings,  amendments and other transactions
relating thereto.

         SECTION 3.2.  Computation of Interest and Fees.

         Unless set forth to the contrary herein,  accrued interest on the Loans
and the  Letter  of  Credit  Liabilities  and all  fees due  hereunder  shall be
computed  on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the  actual  number of
days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day of a period).

         SECTION 3.3.  Pro Rata Treatment.

         Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing from
the Lenders  under  Section  2.1.(a) and Section  2.3.(e) shall be made from the
Lenders,  each payment of the fees under Sections  3.1.(a)  through (c) shall be
made for account of the Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount
of the  Commitments  under  Section  2.9.  shall be  applied  to the  respective
Commitments  of the  Lenders,  pro  rata  according  to  the  amounts  of  their
respective Commitments; (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of Revolving
Loans by the  Borrower  shall be made for  account  of the  Lenders  pro rata in
accordance with the respective  unpaid principal  amounts of the Revolving Loans
held by them,  provided that if  immediately  prior to giving effect to any such
payment in respect of any Revolving  Loans the outstanding  principal  amount of
the Revolving Loans shall not be held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with
their  respective  Commitments in effect at the time such Loans were made,  then
such  payment  shall be applied to the  Revolving  Loans in such manner as shall
result, as nearly as is practicable,  in the outstanding principal amount of the
Revolving  Loans  being held by the Lenders  pro rata in  accordance  with their
respective  Commitments;  (c) each  payment or  prepayment  of principal of Term
Loans by the  Borrower  shall be made for  account  of the  Lenders  pro rata in
accordance with the respective  unpaid  principal  amounts of the Term Loan then
owing to each of them; (d) each payment of interest on Revolving  Loans and Term
Loans by the  Borrower  shall be made for  account  of the  Lenders  pro rata in
accordance  with the  amounts of  interest on such Loans then due and payable to
the respective  Lenders;  (e) the making of Revolving  Loans, and the Conversion
and  Continuation  of Revolving Loans and Term Loans of a particular Type (other
than Conversions provided for by Section 5.5.), shall be made pro rata among the
Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments (in the case of
making of Revolving Loans) or their respective Loans (in the case of Conversions
and  Continuations  of  Revolving  Loans or Term  Loans)  and the  then  current
Interest Period for each Lender's portion of each Revolving Loan or Term Loan of
such Type shall be  coterminous;  (f) each  prepayment  of principal of Bid Rate
Loans by the Borrower  pursuant to Section  2.8.(f) shall be made for account of
the Lenders then owed Bid Rate Loans pro rata in accordance  with the respective
unpaid  principal  amounts of the Bid Rate Loan then owing to each such  Lender;
(g) the  Lenders'  participation  in, and  payment  obligations  in respect  of,
Swingline Loans under Section 2.3., shall be in accordance with their respective
Pro Rata Shares, and (h) the Lenders'  participation in, and payment obligations
in respect  of,  Letters of Credit  under  Section  2.15.,  shall be pro rata in
accordance  with  their  respective  Commitments.  All  payments  of  principal,
interest,  fees and other amounts in respect of the Swingline Loans shall be for
the account of the Swingline  Lender only (except to the extent any Lender shall
have acquired a  participating  interest in any such  Swingline Loan pursuant to
Section 2.3.(e)).

         SECTION 3.4.  Sharing of Payments, Etc.

         The Borrower  agrees that, in addition to (and without  limitation  of)
any right of set-off, bankers' lien or counterclaim a Lender may otherwise have,
each Lender shall be entitled, at its option, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance  of an Event of Default  but subject to the  Agent's  prior  written
consent, to offset balances held by it for the account of the Borrower at any of
such  Lender's  offices,  in  Dollars  or in any  other  currency,  against  any
principal  of, or interest on, any of such  Lender's  Loans  hereunder (or other
Obligations  owing  to  such  Lender  hereunder)  which  is not  paid  when  due
(regardless  of whether such  balances are then due to the  Borrower),  in which
case such Lender shall promptly  notify the Borrower,  all other Lenders and the
Agent  thereof;  provided,  however,  such Lender's  failure to give such notice
shall not affect the validity of such offset.  If a Lender shall obtain  payment
of any  principal  of, or interest on, any Loan under this  Agreement,  or shall
obtain payment on any other  Obligation  owing by the Borrower or any other Loan
Party  through  the  exercise  of  any  right  of  set-off,   banker's  lien  or
counterclaim  or similar  right or  otherwise or through  voluntary  prepayments
directly to a Lender or other  payments  made by the  Borrower or any other Loan
Party to a Lender not in  accordance  with the terms of this  Agreement and such
payment, pursuant to the immediately preceding Section, should be distributed to
the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, such Lender shall promptly
purchase  from the other  Lenders  participations  in (or,  if and to the extent
specified  by such  Lender,  direct  interests  in) the Loans  made by the other
Lenders or other  Obligations  owed to such other Lenders in such  amounts,  and
make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable,  to the end
that all the  Lenders  shall  share  the  benefit  of such  payment  (net of any
expenses  which may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or  preserving  such
benefit) in accordance with their  respective Pro Rata Shares.  To such end, all
the Lenders shall make appropriate  adjustments  among themselves (by the resale
of  participations  sold or  otherwise)  if such  payment is  rescinded  or must
otherwise  be  restored.  The  Borrower  agrees that any Lender so  purchasing a
participation  (or direct  interest) in the Loans or other  Obligations  owed to
such  other  Lenders  may  exercise  all  rights  of  set-off,   bankers'  lien,
counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if
such Lender were a direct  holder of Loans in the amount of such  participation.
Nothing  contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or
shall  affect the right of any Lender to  exercise,  and retain the  benefits of
exercising,  any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation
of the Borrower.

         SECTION 3.5.  Defaulting Lenders.

         If for any  reason  any Lender (a  "Defaulting  Lender")  shall fail or
refuse to  perform  its  obligations  under  this  Agreement  or any other  Loan
Document to which it is a party within the time period specified for performance
of such  obligation  or, if no time  period is  specified,  if such  failure  or
refusal  continues  for a period of 5 Business Days after notice from the Agent,
then,  in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the Agent
or the Borrower under this Agreement or Applicable Law, such Defaulting Lender's
right to participate in the  administration of the Loans, this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, including without limitation, any right to vote in respect
of, to  consent to or to direct  any  action or  inaction  of the Agent or to be
taken into account in the  calculation of Majority  Lenders,  shall be suspended
during the pendency of such failure or refusal. If for any reason a Lender fails
to make  timely  payment to the Agent of any amount  required  to be paid to the
Agent  hereunder  (without  giving  effect to any  notice or cure  periods),  in
addition to other rights and  remedies  which the Agent or the Borrower may have
under the  immediately  preceding  provisions or  otherwise,  the Agent shall be
entitled (i) to collect interest from such Defaulting  Lender on such delinquent
payment for the period from the date on which the payment was due until the date
on which the  payment is made at the  Federal  Funds  Rate,  (ii) to withhold or
setoff and to apply in  satisfaction  of the  defaulted  payment and any related
interest,  any amounts  otherwise payable to such Lender under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document and (iii) to bring an action or suit against such Lender
in a court of competent  jurisdiction  to recover the  defaulted  amount and any
related  interest.  Any amounts received by the Agent in respect of a Defaulting
Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Loans shall not be paid to such Defaulting Lender
and shall be held by the  Agent and  either  (a)(i) if any  Swingline  Loans are
outstanding,  applied first,  to the Swingline  Lender to fund the amount of the
Defaulting Lender's participation in the outstanding Swing Line Loans or (ii) if
no Swingline Loans are  outstanding,  applied against the purchase price of such
Pro Rata Share of the Loans under  Section  3.6. or (b) paid to such  Defaulting
Lender upon the Defaulting Lender's curing of its default.

         SECTION 3.6.  Purchase of Defaulting Lender's Pro Rata Share.

         (a) Any Lender who is not a Defaulting Lender shall have the right, but
not the  obligation,  in its sole  discretion,  to acquire  all of a  Defaulting
Lender's  Pro Rata Share of the Loans.  If more than one Lender  exercises  such
right,  each such Lender shall have the right to acquire such proportion of such
Defaulting Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Loans as they may mutually agree. Upon
any such purchase of the Pro Rata Share of the Loans of a Defaulting Lender, the
Defaulting  Lender's interest in the Loans and its rights hereunder (but not its
liability in respect  thereof or under the Loan  Documents or this  Agreement to
the extent  the same  relate to the period  prior to the  effective  date of the
purchase)  shall  terminate on the date of purchase,  and the Defaulting  Lender
shall  promptly  execute all  documents  reasonably  requested to surrender  and
transfer  such  interest to the  purchaser  thereof,  including  an  appropriate
Assignment and Acceptance Agreement.

         (b) The  purchase  price  for the Pro  Rata  Share  of the  Loans  of a
Defaulting  Lender shall be equal to the amount of the principal  balance of the
Loans  outstanding and owed by the Borrower to the Defaulting  Lender.  Prior to
payment of such purchase price to the Defaulting  Lender,  the Agent shall apply
against  such  purchase  price any  amounts  payable in respect of such Pro Rata
Share of the Loans as  contemplated  by the last  sentence of Section  3.5.  The
Defaulting  Lender  shall  be  entitled  to  receive  amounts  owed to it by the
Borrower under the Loan Documents which accrued prior to the date of the default
by the Defaulting  Lender, to the extent the same are received by the Agent from
or on behalf of the Borrower.  There shall be no recourse  against any Lender or
the Agent for the  payment of such sums  except to the extent of the  receipt of
payments from any other party or in respect of the Loans.

         SECTION 3.7.  Usury.

         In no event  shall the amount of  interest  due or payable on the Loans
exceed the maximum rate of interest  allowed by Applicable Law and, in the event
any such  payment is paid by the  Borrower or received by any Lender,  then such
excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal. It is the express intent
of the parties  hereto that the  Borrower  not pay and the Lenders not  receive,
directly or  indirectly,  in any manner  whatsoever,  interest in excess of that
which may be lawfully paid by the Borrower under Applicable Law.

         SECTION 3.8.  Agreement Regarding Interest and Charges.

         THE PARTIES  HERETO  HEREBY  AGREE AND  STIPULATE  THAT THE ONLY CHARGE
IMPOSED UPON THE BORROWER FOR THE USE OF MONEY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT
IS AND SHALL BE THE  INTEREST  DESCRIBED  IN SECTION  2.7.  AND WITH  RESPECT TO
SWINGLINE  LOANS,  IN SECTION  2.3.(C).  THE PARTIES  HERETO  FURTHER  AGREE AND
STIPULATE  THAT ALL  OTHER  CHARGES  IMPOSED  BY  LENDERS  AND THE  AGENT ON THE
BORROWER  IN  CONNECTION  WITH  THIS  AGREEMENT,   INCLUDING  ALL  AGENCY  FEES,
COMMITMENT  FEES,   FACILITY  FEES,   UNUSED  FACILITY  FEES,   EXTENSION  FEES,
UNDERWRITING  FEES,  LETTER OF  CREDIT  FEES,  DEFAULT  CHARGES,  LATE  CHARGES,
ATTORNEYS'  FEES AND  REIMBURSEMENT  FOR COSTS AND EXPENSES PAID BY THE AGENT OR
ANY LENDER TO THIRD PARTIES OR FOR DAMAGES  INCURRED BY THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER,
ARE CHARGES MADE TO COMPENSATE THE AGENT OR ANY SUCH LENDER FOR  UNDERWRITING OR
ADMINISTRATIVE  SERVICES AND COSTS OR LOSSES  PERFORMED  OR INCURRED,  AND TO BE
PERFORMED  OR  INCURRED,  BY THE  AGENT  AND  LENDERS  IN  CONNECTION  WITH THIS
AGREEMENT  AND THE OTHER LOAN  DOCUMENTS  AND SHALL  UNDER NO  CIRCUMSTANCES  BE
DEEMED TO BE CHARGES FOR THE USE OF MONEY  PURSUANT TO OFFICIAL  CODE OF GEORGIA
ANNOTATED SECTION 7-4-2 OR 7-4-18. ALL CHARGES OTHER THAN CHARGES FOR THE USE OF
MONEY SHALL BE FULLY EARNED AND NONREFUNDABLE WHEN DUE.

         SECTION 3.9.  Statements of Account.

         The Agent will  account to the  Borrower  monthly  with a statement  of
Loans,  Letters of Credit,  charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement
and the other Loan  Documents,  and such account  rendered by the Agent shall be
deemed  final,  binding and  conclusive  upon the Borrower  absent  demonstrable
error.  The  failure of the Agent or any Lender to  maintain  or deliver  such a
statement  of accounts  shall not relieve or  discharge  the  Borrower  from its
obligations hereunder.

         SECTION 3.10.  Reliance.

         Neither  the Agent nor any  Lender  shall  incur any  liability  to the
Borrower for acting upon any telephonic  notice  permitted  under this Agreement
which the Agent or such  Lender  believes  reasonably  and in good faith to have
been given by an individual authorized to deliver a Notice of Borrowing,  Notice
of  Conversion,  Notice of  Continuation,  Extension  Request  or a request  for
issuance of a Letter of Credit on behalf of the Borrower.

         SECTION 3.11.  Taxes.

         (a) Taxes Generally.  All payments by the Borrower of principal of, and
interest on, the Loans and all other Obligations shall be made free and clear of
and without  deduction for any present or future  excise,  stamp or other taxes,
fees,  duties,  levies,  imposts,  charges,  deductions,  withholdings  or other
charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority,  but excluding
(without  duplication):   (i)  franchise  taxes,  (ii)  any  taxes  (other  than
withholding  taxes) that would not be imposed but for a  connection  between the
Agent or a  Lender  and the  jurisdiction  imposing  such  taxes  (other  than a
connection  arising  solely  by virtue  of the  activities  of the Agent or such
Lender  pursuant to or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document),
(iii) any withholding taxes payable with respect to payments  hereunder or under
any other Loan Document under  Applicable  Law in effect on the Agreement  Date,
(iv) any taxes  imposed on or  measured  by any  Lender's  assets,  net  income,
receipts or branch  profits and (v) any taxes arising  after the Agreement  Date
solely  as a result  of or  attributable  to a Lender  changing  its  designated
Lending  Office  after  the  date  such  Lender  becomes  a party  hereto  (such
non-excluded  items being  collective  called  "Taxes").  If any  withholding or
deduction  from any payment to be made by the Borrower  hereunder is required in
respect of any Taxes pursuant to any Applicable Law, then the Borrower will:

                  (i) pay directly to the relevant Governmental Authority the 
         full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;

                 (ii) promptly  forward  to the Agent an  official  receipt or
         other  documentation  satisfactory to the Agent evidencing such payment
         to such Governmental Authority; and

                (iii) pay to the Agent for its  account or the  account of the
         applicable  Lender,  as the  case may be,  such  additional  amount  or
         amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received
         by the Agent or such  Lender  will equal the full amount that the Agent
         or such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction
         been required.

         (b) Tax  Indemnification.  If the Borrower  fails to pay any Taxes when
due to the  appropriate  Governmental  Authority or fails to remit to the Agent,
for its account or the account of the respective Lender, as the case may be, the
required  receipts or other required  documentary  evidence,  the Borrower shall
indemnify  the Agent and the  Lenders  for any  incremental  Taxes,  interest or
penalties  that may become payable by the Agent or any Lender as a result of any
such failure.  For purposes of this  Section,  a  distribution  hereunder by the
Agent or any  Lender  to or for the  account  of any  Lender  shall be  deemed a
payment by the Borrower.

         (c) Tax Forms. Each Lender or Participant organized under the laws of a
jurisdiction  other than the United  States of America  agrees to deliver to the
Borrower  and the Agent  such  certificates,  documents  or other  evidence,  as
required by the Internal Revenue Code,  correctly completed and executed by such
Lender or  Participant  establishing  that such payment is not subject to United
States  federal  withholding  tax under the  Internal  Revenue Code because such
payment is either  effectively  connected  with the  conduct  by such  Lender or
Participant  of a trade or business in the United States or totally  exempt from
United  States  federal  withholding  tax by  reason of the  application  of the
provisions  of a treaty to which the United  States is a party or such Lender is
otherwise exempt.

         (d)  Refunds.  If the Agent or any Lender shall become aware that it is
entitled  to a refund in respect of Taxes for which it has been  indemnified  by
the Borrower  pursuant to this Section,  the Agent or such Lender shall promptly
notify the Borrower of the availability of such refund and shall, within 30 days
after receipt of a written request by the Borrower, apply for such refund at the
Borrower's  sole cost and  expense.  So long as no Event of  Default  shall have
occurred and be continuing, if the Agent or any Lender shall receive a refund in
respect of any such Taxes as to which it has been  indemnified  by the  Borrower
pursuant to this  Section,  the Agent or such Lender shall  promptly  notify the
Borrower  of such refund and shall,  within 30 days of receipt,  pay such refund
(to the extent of amounts that have been paid by the Borrower under this Section
with respect to such refund and not previously  reimbursed) to the Borrower, net
of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender or the Agent and without
interest (other than the interest, if any, included in such refund).

                    ARTICLE IV. UNENCUMBERED POOL PROPERTIES

         SECTION 4.1. Acceptance of Unencumbered Pool Properties.

(a) Existing Unencumbered Pool Properties.Subject to compliance with the terms 
and conditions of Section 6.1. and subject to any limitations set forth on 
Schedule 4.1., as of the Effective Date the Lenders have accepted the Properties
listed on Schedule 4.1. as Unencumbered Pool Properties.

         (b) Submission of Additional  Properties.  If the Borrower desires that
the Lenders accept an additional Property as an Unencumbered Pool Property after
the Effective  Date,  the Borrower  shall so notify the Agent in writing and the
Agent shall  promptly  notify each Lender.  No Property will be evaluated by the
Lenders  unless it is an Eligible  Property,  and unless and until the  Borrower
delivers to the Agent the following,  in form and substance  satisfactory to the
Agent:

                  (i) An Executive Memorandum regarding such Property;

                 (ii) An Unencumbered  Pool Certificate  setting forth (A) on a
         pro forma  basis the  Maximum  Loan  Availability,  assuming  that such
         Property  is  accepted  as  an  Unencumbered  Pool  Property,  (B)  the
         Occupancy Rate of such Property, (C) calculations  evidencing continued
         compliance  with Section 4.3.,  assuming that such Property is accepted
         as an  Unencumbered  Pool Property,  (D) the  percentage  amount of the
         total Unencumbered Pool Value,  assuming that such Property is accepted
         as an Unencumbered Pool Property,  attributable to such Property (which
         percentage  amount  shall  not  exceed  5%) and (E) the  amount  of the
         Unencumbered Pool Value,  assuming that such Property is accepted as an
         Unencumbered  Pool  Property,  attributable  to all  Unencumbered  Pool
         Properties  which are owned by  Subsidiaries  that are not Wholly Owned
         Subsidiaries;

                (iii) copy of the most  recent  ALTA  Owner's  Policy of Title
         Insurance  (or  commitment  to issue  such a policy  to the Loan  Party
         owning or to own such Property)  relating to such Property  showing the
         identity of the fee titleholder thereto and all matters of record; and

                 (iv) A Property  Certificate  executed by the chief  financial
         officer  or  controller  of  the  Borrower   (which  officer  shall  be
         authorized to execute such certificate).

Following receipt of the foregoing items (i) through (iv) for such Property, the
Agent will promptly  submit such documents and information to Lenders for review
and approval by all Lenders of such Property as an  Unencumbered  Pool Property.
Each Lender shall have 10 Business Days from the day on which the Agent receives
such documents and information  from the Borrower (the "Review  Period") to take
one of the following actions:  (I) notify the Agent of such Lender's approval of
the  Property as an  Unencumbered  Pool  Property or (II) request from the Agent
further  information  relating to such Property in accordance with the following
paragraph.  If  neither  of such  actions  is  taken  by a  Lender  prior to the
expiration  of the Review  Period,  such Lender shall be deemed to have accepted
such Property as an Unencumbered Pool Property.

         At any time  during the Review  Period,  any  Lender  may  request,  in
writing,  that the Agent obtain one or more of the items described in subsection
(c) below from the Borrower for such Lender's  review to confirm the information
set forth in the  Property  Certificate.  If a request is made for such  further
information  by a Lender during the Review  Period,  the Borrower shall promptly
(but in any event within 10 calendar  days of receipt of such  request)  deliver
the  requested  information  to the Agent who shall  promptly  deliver it to the
requesting Lender.  Such requesting Lender shall then have 10 calendar days (the
"Extended  Review  Period")  after the Agent's  receipt from the Borrower of the
requested information to notify the Agent of its acceptance or rejection of such
Property.  If such requesting Lender notifies the Agent of its rejection of such
Property,  such Property shall not be accepted as an Unencumbered  Pool Property
under this subsection  (b). If such requesting  Lender fails to notify the Agent
prior to the expiration of the Extended Review Period,  such  requesting  Lender
shall be deemed to have accepted such Property as Unencumbered Pool Property.

         Upon any acceptance of a Property  pursuant to this subsection (b), and
upon execution and delivery of all of the following,  such Property shall become
an Unencumbered Pool Property:

                  (1) If such  Property  is owned  (or is being  acquired)  by a
         Subsidiary  that is not  yet a  party  to the  Guaranty,  an  Accession
         Agreement  executed by such  Subsidiary and all other items required to
         be delivered by a Subsidiary under Section 8.24.; and

(2)Such other items or documents as may be appropriate under the circumstances
as requested by the Agent.

         (c) Alternative Acceptance Procedure.  At the Borrower's option or if a
Property fails to be accepted as an Unencumbered  Pool Property  pursuant to the
immediately  preceding  subsection (b), the Borrower may submit or resubmit,  as
applicable, such Property for consideration by notifying the Agent in writing of
the Borrower's intent to submit or resubmit, as applicable, such Property and by
delivering the following additional items, in form and substance satisfactory to
the Agent:

         certified by a representative of the Borrower as being true and correct
         in all material respects and prepared in accordance with GAAP, provided
         that,  with respect to any period such Property was not owned by a Loan
         Party,  such information  shall only be required to be delivered to the
         extent reasonably  available to the Borrower and such certification may
         be based upon the best of the Borrower's knowledge;

                (iii) If  prepared  by the  Borrower,  a pro  forma  operating
         statement for such Property;

                 (iv) A  current  rent  roll  and  occupancy  report  for  such
         Property,  certified by a representative  of the Borrower as being true
         and correct in all material respects,  and a two-year occupancy history
         of such Property,  certified by a representative  of the Borrower to be
         true and  correct,  provided  that,  with  respect to any  period  such
         Property was not owned by a Loan Party,  such information shall only be
         required to be  delivered  to the extent  reasonably  available  to the
         Borrower  and  such  certification  may be  based  upon the best of the
         Borrower's knowledge;

         Property (but only to the extent such  materials  have not already been
         provided under any of the preceding subsections);

                  (x) An Unencumbered  Pool  Certificate  setting forth (A) on a
         pro forma  basis the  Maximum  Loan  Availability,  assuming  that such
         Property  is  accepted  as  an  Unencumbered  Pool  Property,  (B)  the
         Occupancy Rate of such Property, (C) calculations  evidencing continued
         compliance  with Section 4.3.,  assuming that such Property is accepted
         as  an  Unencumbered   Pool  Property,   and  (D)  the  amount  of  the
         Unencumbered Pool Value,  assuming that such Property is accepted as an
         Unencumbered  Pool  Property,  attributable  to all  Unencumbered  Pool
         Properties  which are owned by  Subsidiaries  that are not Wholly Owned
         Subsidiaries; and

                 (xi) Such other  information the Agent may reasonably  request
         in order to evaluate the Property.

Following  receipt of the foregoing  documents and information,  the Agent shall
promptly submit such documents and information to the Lenders for approval. Upon
approval by the Majority  Lenders  (which must include the Agent in its capacity
as a Lender),  and upon  execution  and delivery of all of the  following,  such
Property shall become an Unencumbered Pool Property:

                  (1) A copy of the most  recent  ALTA  Owner's  Policy of Title
         Insurance  (or  commitment  to issue  such a policy  to the Loan  Party
         owning or to own such Property)  relating to such Property  showing the
         identity of the fee titleholder thereto and all matters of record;

                  (2) If such  Property  is owned  (or is being  acquired)  by a
         Subsidiary  that is not  yet a  party  to the  Guaranty,  an  Accession
         Agreement  executed by such  Subsidiary and all other items required to
         be delivered by a Subsidiary under Section 8.24.; and

                  (3) Such other items or documents as may be appropriate under 
         the circumstances as requested by the Agent.

         SECTION 4.2.  Termination of Designation as Unencumbered Pool Property.

         From time to time the Borrower may request,  upon not less than 20 days
prior written  notice to the Agent and the Lenders,  that an  Unencumbered  Pool
Property cease to be an Unencumbered  Pool Property.  The Agent shall grant such
request if all of the following conditions are satisfied:

         (a)  no  Default  or  Event  of  Default  shall  have  occurred  and be
continuing both at the time of such request and immediately  after giving effect
to such request; and

         (b) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Agent an Unencumbered Pool
Certificate  demonstrating  on a pro  forma  basis,  and the  Agent  shall  have
determined,  that the outstanding principal balance of the Loans will not exceed
the  Maximum  Loan  Availability  after  giving  effect to such  request and any
prepayment to be made and/or the  acceptance of any Property as an additional or
replacement  Unencumbered  Pool  Property  to be given  concurrently  with  such
request.

After giving effect to any request that an  Unencumbered  Pool Property cease to
be  designated  as such,  the  Borrower  may  request in writing  that the Agent
release,  and upon receipt of such request the Agent shall release,  a Guarantor
from the  Guaranty so long as: (i) such  Guarantor  is a  Subsidiary;  (ii) such
Guarantor owns no other  Unencumbered Pool Property,  nor any direct or indirect
equity interest in any Subsidiary  that does own an Unencumbered  Pool Property;
(iii) such  Guarantor  is not  otherwise  required to be a party to the Guaranty
under  Section  8.24.;  and (iv) no Default or Event of Default shall then be in
existence or would occur as a result of such release.

         SECTION 4.3.  Additional Requirements of Unencumbered Pool Properties.

         The ratio  (expressed as a percentage)  of (a) the net rentable  square
footage of all Unencumbered Pool Properties  actually occupied by tenants paying
rent pursuant to binding leases as to which no monetary default has occurred and
is  continuing  to  (b)  the  aggregate  net  rentable  square  footage  of  all
Unencumbered  Pool Properties shall at all times equal or exceed 90%. A Property
shall  cease to be an  Unencumbered  Pool  Property  if it shall  cease to be an
Eligible Property.

                        ARTICLE V. YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.

         SECTION 5.1.  Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy.

         (a) Additional  Costs. The Borrower shall promptly pay to the Agent for
the  account  of a Lender  from time to time such  amounts  as such  Lender  may
determine to be necessary to  compensate  such Lender for any costs  incurred by
such Lender that it determines are  attributable to its making or maintaining of
any  LIBOR  Loans or its  obligation  to make any  LIBOR  Loans  hereunder,  any
reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any of
the  other  Loan  Documents  in  respect  of any of  such  LIBOR  Loans  or such
obligation or the  maintenance by such Lender of capital in respect of its LIBOR
Loans or its  Commitment  (such  increases  in costs and  reductions  in amounts
receivable  being  herein  called  "Additional   Costs"),   resulting  from  any
Regulatory Change that: (i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable
to such  Lender  under  this  Agreement  or any of the other Loan  Documents  in
respect of any of such LIBOR Loans or its Commitments  (other than taxes imposed
on or measured by the overall net income of such Lender or of its Lending Office
for any of such LIBOR  Loans by the  jurisdiction  in which such  Lender has its
principal  office or such  Lending  Office);  or (ii)  imposes or  modifies  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, or
other credit  extended by, or any other  acquisition of funds by such Lender (or
its parent  corporation),  or any commitment of such Lender (including,  without
limitation, the Commitment of such Lender hereunder); or (iii) has or would have
the effect of  reducing  the rate of return on capital of such Lender to a level
below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Regulatory  Change
(taking  into  consideration  such  Lender's  policies  with  respect to capital
adequacy).

         (b) Lender's Suspension of LIBOR Loans.  Without limiting the effect of
the provisions of the immediately  preceding subsection (a), if by reason of any
Regulatory  Change,  any Lender either (i) incurs  Additional  Costs based on or
measured by the excess  above a  specified  level of the amount of a category of
deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference
to which the  interest  rate on LIBOR  Loans is  determined  as provided in this
Agreement or a category of  extensions  of credit or other assets of such Lender
that includes LIBOR Loans or (ii) becomes  subject to restrictions on the amount
of such a category  of  liabilities  or assets that it may hold,  then,  if such
Lender  so elects by notice  to the  Borrower  (with a copy to the  Agent),  the
obligation  of such Lender to make or  Continue,  or to Convert  Base Rate Loans
into,  LIBOR Loans hereunder  shall be suspended  until such  Regulatory  Change
ceases to be in effect  (in which case the  provisions  of  Section  5.5.  shall
apply).

         (c) Notification and  Determination  of Additional  Costs.  Each of the
Agent and each Lender,  as the case may be, agrees to notify the Borrower of any
event  occurring  after the Agreement Date entitling the Agent or such Lender to
compensation under any of the preceding  subsections of this Section as promptly
as practicable;  provided,  however, that the failure of the Agent or any Lender
to give such notice shall not release the Borrower  from any of its  obligations
hereunder.  Each  Lender  agrees  to  furnish  to the  Borrower  and the Agent a
certificate  setting forth the basis and amount of each request for compensation
under  this  Section.  Determinations  by  such  Lender  of  the  effect  of any
Regulatory  Change shall be conclusive,  provided that such  determinations  are
made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

         SECTION 5.2.  Suspension of LIBOR Loans.

         Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the
determination of any LIBO Rate for any Interest Period:

                  (a) the Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall
         be  conclusive)  that  quotations  of interest  rates for the  relevant
         deposits  referred  to in the  definition  of LIBO  Rate are not  being
         provided in the  relevant  amounts or for the relevant  maturities  for
         purposes of  determining  rates of interest for LIBOR Loans as provided
         herein or is otherwise unable to determine the LIBO Rate, or

                  (b) any  Lender  reasonably  determines  (which  determination
         shall be conclusive) that the relevant rates of interest referred to in
         the  definition  of LIBO  Rate  upon the  basis  of  which  the rate of
         interest for LIBOR Loans for such  Interest  Period is to be determined
         are not likely adequately to cover the cost to such Lender of making or
         maintaining LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period; or

                  (c) any  Lender  that has  outstanding  a Bid Rate  Quote with
         respect  to  a  LIBOR   Margin  Loan   reasonably   determines   (which
         determination  shall  be  conclusive)  that  the  LIBO  Rate  will  not
         adequately  and  fairly  reflect  the cost to such  Lender of making or
         maintaining such LIBOR Margin Loan;

         then the Agent shall give the  Borrower and each Lender  prompt  notice
thereof  and, so long as such  condition  remains in effect,  (i) in the case of
clause (a) or (b) above,  the Lenders shall be under no obligation to, and shall
not, make  additional  LIBOR Loans,  Continue  LIBOR Loans or Convert Loans into
LIBOR Loans and the Borrower  shall,  on the last day of each  current  Interest
Period for each outstanding  LIBOR Loan, either prepay such Loan or Convert such
Loan into a Base Rate Loan and (ii) in the case of clause (c)  above,  no Lender
that has  outstanding a Bid Rate Quote with respect to a LIBOR Margin Loan shall
be under any obligation to make such Loan.

         SECTION 5.3.  Illegality.

         Notwithstanding  any other provision of this  Agreement,  if any Lender
shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it is
unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans
hereunder,  then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower  thereof (with a
copy of such  notice  to the  Agent)  and such  Lender's  obligation  to make or
Continue,  or to Convert  Revolving  Loans of any other Type into,  LIBOR  Loans
shall be  suspended  until such time as such Lender may again make and  maintain
LIBOR Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5. shall be applicable).

         SECTION 5.4.  Compensation.

         The Borrower  shall pay to the Agent for account of each  Lender,  upon
the request of such Lender through the Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be
sufficient  to  compensate  such Lender for any loss,  cost or expense that such
Lender reasonably determines is attributable to:

                  (a) any payment or prepayment  (whether mandatory or optional)
         of a LIBOR Loan or Bid Rate Loan, or  Conversion of a LIBOR Loan,  made
         by  such  Lender  for  any  reason  (including,   without   limitation,
         acceleration)  on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period
         for such Loan; or

                  (b) any  failure by the  Borrower  for any reason  (including,
         without  limitation,  the failure of any of the  applicable  conditions
         precedent  specified in Article VI. to be  satisfied) to borrow a LIBOR
         Loan or Bid Rate Loan from such Lender on the date for such  borrowing,
         or to  Convert a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR  Loan or  Continue a LIBOR
         Loan on the requested date of such Conversion or Continuation.

         Not in limitation of the foregoing,  such  compensation  shall include,
but shall not be limited to: (i) in the case of a LIBOR Loan, an amount equal to
the then present  value of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on
such LIBOR Loan for the remainder of the Interest  Period at the rate applicable
to such LIBOR  Loan,  less (B) the amount of interest  that would  accrue on the
same  LIBOR  Loan for the same  period  if the LIBO Rate were set on the date on
which such LIBOR Loan was repaid,  prepaid or Converted or the date on which the
Borrower  failed to borrow,  Convert or Continue such LIBOR Loan, as applicable,
calculating  present  value by using as a discount  rate the LIBO Rate quoted on
such date;  and (ii) in the case of a Bid Rate Loan,  the sum of such losses and
expenses  as the  Lender or  Designated  Lender  who made such Bid Rate Loan may
reasonably incur by reason of such prepayment,  including without limitation any
losses or expenses incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from
third parties.

          Upon the Borrower's request, any Lender requesting  compensation under
this Section shall provide the Borrower with a statement setting forth the basis
for  requesting  such  compensation  and the method for  determining  the amount
thereof. Any such statement shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

         SECTION 5.5.  Treatment of Affected Loans.

         If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to Continue,  or
to Convert  Base Rate Loans into,  LIBOR Loans  shall be  suspended  pursuant to
Section  5.1.(b),  Section 5.2. or Section 5.3.,  then such Lender's LIBOR Loans
shall be automatically  Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the
then current Interest Period(s) for LIBOR Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion
required by Section  5.1.(b) or 5.3.,  on such  earlier  date as such Lender may
specify to the  Borrower  with a copy to the Agent)  and,  unless and until such
Lender  gives  notice as  provided  below that the  circumstances  specified  in
Section 5.1., Section 5.2. or 5.3.
that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:

         (a) to  the  extent  that  such  Lender's  LIBOR  Loans  have  been  so
Converted,  all payments and  prepayments of principal  that would  otherwise be
applied to such Lender's  LIBOR Loans shall be applied  instead to its Base Rate
Loans; and

         (b) all  Revolving  Loans that would  otherwise be made or Continued by
such  Lender as LIBOR  Loans  shall be made or  Continued  instead  as Base Rate
Loans,  and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted
into LIBOR Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.

         If such Lender gives notice to the Borrower  (with a copy to the Agent)
that the  circumstances  specified in Section 5.1. or 5.3. that gave rise to the
Conversion of such Lender's LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section no longer exist
(which such  Lender  agrees to do promptly  upon such  circumstances  ceasing to
exist) at a time when LIBOR Loans made by other  Lenders are  outstanding,  then
such Lender's  Base Rate Loans shall be  automatically  Converted,  on the first
day(s) of the next  succeeding  Interest  Period(s) for such  outstanding  LIBOR
Loans, to the extent necessary so that,  after giving effect thereto,  all Loans
held by the Lenders holding LIBOR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as
to principal  amounts,  Types and  Interest  Periods) in  accordance  with their
respective Commitments.

         SECTION 5.6.  Change of Lending Office.

         Each Lender agrees that it will use reasonable  efforts to designate an
alternate  Lending  Office  with  respect  to any of its Loans  affected  by the
matters or circumstances described in Sections 3.11., 5.1. or 5.3. to reduce the
liability of the Borrower or avoid the results provided  thereunder,  so long as
such  designation  is not  disadvantageous  to such Lender as determined by such
Lender in its sole discretion,  except that such Lender shall have no obligation
to designate a Lending Office located in the United States of America.

         Each of the Borrower,  each Guarantor and its other  Subsidiaries  is a
corporation, partnership or other legal entity, duly organized, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, and
has  all  requisite   power  and  authority  and  all   governmental   licenses,
authorizations,  consents and approvals required to carry on its business as now
conducted  and is duly  qualified  and is in  good  standing,  authorized  to do
business,  in each  jurisdiction in which the character of its properties or the
nature of its business requires such qualification or authorization.

         SECTION 7.2.  Ownership Structure.

         Part  I of  Schedule  7.2.  is a  complete  and  correct  list  of  all
Subsidiaries of the Parent (including all Subsidiaries of the Borrower), setting
forth for each such  Subsidiary,  (a) the  jurisdiction  of organization of such
Subsidiary,  (b) each Person holding ownership  interests in such Subsidiary and
(c) the nature of the ownership  interests  held by each such Person and (d) the
percentage  of  ownership  of such  Subsidiary  represented  by  such  ownership
interests.  Except as disclosed in such  Schedule (i) each of the Parent and its
Subsidiaries  owns, free and clear of all Liens, and has the unencumbered  right
to vote, all outstanding  ownership interests in each Person shown to be held by
it on such  Schedule,  (ii) all of the issued and  outstanding  capital stock of
each such Person  organized as a corporation is validly  issued,  fully paid and
nonassessable  and  (iii)  there  are  no  outstanding  subscriptions,  options,
warrants,  commitments,  preemptive rights or agreements of any kind (including,
without  limitation,  any  stockholders'  or voting  trust  agreements)  for the
issuance, sale, registration or voting of, or outstanding securities convertible
into,  any  additional  shares of capital stock of any class,  or partnership or
other ownership  interests of any type in, any such Person.  Part II of Schedule
7.2.  correctly sets forth all  Unconsolidated  Affiliates  and Preferred  Stock
Entities of the Parent,  including  the correct  legal name of such Person,  the
type of legal entity which each such Person is, and all  ownership  interests in
such Person held directly or indirectly by the Parent.

 SECTION 7.3.  Authorization of Agreement, Notes, Loan Documents and Borrowings.

         The Borrower and each Guarantor has the right and power,  and has taken
all necessary  action to authorize  it, to borrow  hereunder (in the case of the
Borrower) and to execute,  deliver and perform this Agreement, the Notes and the
other Loan Documents to which it is a party in accordance with their  respective
terms and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, as the
case may be. This  Agreement,  the Notes and each of the other Loan Documents to
which the  Borrower  or a  Guarantor  is a party  have been  duly  executed  and
delivered by such Loan Party and each is a legal,  valid and binding  obligation
of such Loan Party  enforceable  against such Loan Party in accordance  with its
respective terms,  except as the same may be limited by bankruptcy,  insolvency,
and other  similar  laws  affecting  the rights of creditors  generally  and the
availability of equitable  remedies for the  enforcement of certain  obligations
(other than the payment of principal) contained herein or therein may be limited
by equitable principles generally.

SECTION 7.4. Compliance of Agreement, Notes, Loan Documents and Borrowing with
             Laws, etc.

         The execution,  delivery and performance of this  Agreement,  the Notes
and the other Loan  Documents to which the Borrower or any  Guarantor is a party
in accordance with their  respective  terms and the borrowing of Loans hereunder
do not and will not, by the passage of time,  the giving of notice or  otherwise
(a) require any Governmental  Approval or violate any Applicable Law relating to
the  Borrower  or any  Guarantor  the failure to possess or to comply with which
would have a Materially Adverse Effect; (b) conflict with, result in a breach of
or constitute a default under the articles of incorporation,  bylaws,  operating
agreement,   partnership   agreement  or  other  organizational  or  constituent
documents of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or any indenture, agreement or other
instrument  to which the Borrower or any  Guarantor is a party or by which it or
any of its  properties  may be bound and the  violation  of which  would  have a
Materially  Adverse  Effect;  or  (c)  result  in or  require  the  creation  or
imposition  of any  Lien  upon or with  respect  to any  property  now  owned or
hereafter acquired by the Borrower or any Guarantor other than Permitted Liens.

         SECTION 7.5.  Compliance with Law; Governmental Approvals.

         Each of the  Borrower and the  Guarantors  is in  compliance  with each
Governmental  Approval  applicable  to it  and  in  compliance  with  all  other
Applicable Law relating to it, except for noncompliances which, and Governmental
Approvals the failure to possess which,  would not,  singly or in the aggregate,
cause a Default or Event of Default or have a Materially  Adverse  Effect and in
respect of which (if the Borrower has actual knowledge of such Applicable Law or
Governmental  Approval)  adequate reserves have been established on the books of
such Loan Party.

         SECTION 7.6.  Existing Indebtedness.

         Other  than the  Indebtedness  hereunder  and as set forth on  Schedule
7.6.,  neither the Borrower,  any  Guarantor nor any of its other  Subsidiaries,
Preferred Stock Entities or any other Non-Guarantor Entity has any Indebtedness.
The Borrower, each Guarantor and each of the other Subsidiaries, Preferred Stock
Entities and  Affiliates  have  performed and are in compliance  with all of the
terms of such Indebtedness and all instruments and agreements  relating thereto,
and no default or event of default,  or event or condition which with the giving
of notice,  the lapse of time, a determination of materiality,  the satisfaction
of any other  condition or any  combination of the foregoing,  would  constitute
such  a  default  or  event  of  default,   exists  with  respect  to  any  such
Indebtedness.

         SECTION 7.7.  Title to Properties; Liens.

         Each of the Borrower,  each  Guarantor and its other  Subsidiaries  has
good,  marketable  and legal  title to, or a valid  leasehold  interest  in, its
respective assets. Each of the Unencumbered Pool Properties is free and clear of
all Liens except for Permitted Liens.

         SECTION 7.8.  Unencumbered Pool Properties.

     Each of the Unencumbered Pool Properties qualifies as an Eligible Property.

         SECTION 7.9.  Leases.

         Except as reflected  on the most  current  rent rolls  delivered to the
Agent, all tenant leases of any Unencumbered Pool Property are in full force and
effect and no default or event of  default  (or event or  occurrence  which upon
with the passage of time or the giving of notice,  or both,  will  constitute  a
default or event of default) exists or will exist  thereunder as a result of the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents.

         SECTION 7.10.  Material Contracts.

         Schedule 7.10. is a true,  correct and complete listing of all Material
Contracts.  Each of the Borrower, each Guarantor and its other Subsidiaries that
are parties to any Material Contract has performed and is in compliance with all
of the terms of such Material Contract,  and no default or event of default,  or
event or  condition  which  with the  giving of  notice,  the  lapse of time,  a
determination  of  materiality,  the  satisfaction of any other condition or any
combination  of the  foregoing,  would  constitute  such a  default  or event of
default, exists with respect to any such Material Contract.

         SECTION 7.11.  Margin Stock.

         Neither the Borrower, any Guarantor nor any other Subsidiary is engaged
principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending
credit for the purpose, whether immediate,  incidental or ultimate, of buying or
carrying  "margin  stock" within the meaning of Regulations U and X, and no part
of the  proceeds of any  extension  of credit  hereunder  will be used to buy or
carry any such "margin stock."

         SECTION 7.12.  Transactions with Affiliates.

         Except  as set forth on  Schedule  7.12.,  neither  the  Borrower,  any
Guarantor  nor any  other  Subsidiary  is a party  to any  transaction  with any
Affiliate which is in violation of Section 8.20.

         SECTION  7.13.  Absence of Defaults.

         Neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor is in default under its articles
of incorporation,  bylaws,  operating agreement,  partnership agreement or other
organizational or constituent document, and no event has occurred, which has not
been  remedied,  cured or waived (a) which  constitutes a Default or an Event of
Default; or (b) which constitutes, or which with the passage of time, the giving
of notice or otherwise,  would constitute,  a default or event of default by the
Borrower,  any  Guarantor or any other  Subsidiary  under any Material  Contract
(other than this  Agreement or any other Loan  Document) or judgment,  decree or
order to which the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Subsidiary is a party or
by which it or any of its properties may be bound.

         SECTION 7.14.  Financial Information.

         The  Borrower has  furnished  to each Lender  copies of (a) the audited
consolidated balance sheet of the Parent and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as at
December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1997,  and the audited  consolidated  related
statements of income,  retained  earnings and cash flow for the periods  covered
thereby (the  "Parent's  Audited  Statements"),  (b) the unaudited  consolidated
balance sheet of the Parent and its  Consolidated  Subsidiaries  as at September
30, 1998 and the related unaudited  consolidated  statement of income,  retained
earnings  and cash flow for the  nine-month  period then  ending (the  "Parent's
Unaudited  Statements",  the  Parent's  Unaudited  Statements  and the  Parent's
Audited Statements together referred to as the "Parent's Financial  Statements")
and (c) the pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Parent and its
Consolidated Subsidiaries (giving effect to the PRT Acquisition) as at September
30, 1998, and the unaudited pro forma condensed  consolidated related statements
of income,  retained  earnings  and cash flow for the nine month  period  ending
September 30, 1998 (the "Combined Statements"),  each certified by the President
or Chief Financial Officer of the Borrower to be, in his opinion,  in compliance
with the next sentence.  The balance  sheets and  statements  (including in each
case related schedules and notes) contained in the Parent's Financial Statements
are  complete  and  correct  and  present   fairly,   in  accordance  with  GAAP
consistently applied throughout the periods involved, the consolidated financial
position of the Parent and its Consolidated  Subsidiaries as at their respective
dates and the results of operations and the cash flow for such periods (subject,
in the  case  of  quarterly  financial  statements,  to  normal  year-end  audit
adjustments and the absence of certain footnotes).  The Combined Statements have
been  prepared  by the  Parent  and PRT,  based on  their  respective  financial
statements for such periods and at such date together with available information
and certain assumptions which the Parent believes to be reasonable, and give pro
forma  effect to the PRT  Acquisition  under the  pooling-of-interest  method of
accounting.  Each  of  the  operating  statements  pertaining  to  each  of  the
Unencumbered  Pool Properties  delivered to the Agent was prepared in accordance
with GAAP and fairly  presents the results of  operations  of such  Unencumbered
Pool  Property  for the period then ended.  Each of the  projections,  financial
plans and budgets  delivered,  or required to be delivered,  to the Agent or any
Lender, whether prior to, on or after, the date hereof (a) has been, or will be,
as applicable, prepared for each Unencumbered Pool Property in light of the past
business and performance of such  Unencumbered  Pool Property and (b) represents
or will represent,  as of the date thereof,  the reasonable good faith estimates
of Borrower's financial performance. None of the Borrower, the Parent nor any of
its Consolidated  Subsidiaries has on the Agreement Date any material contingent
liabilities,   liabilities,   liabilities   for  taxes,   unusual  or  long-term
commitments  or unrealized or forward  anticipated  losses from any  unfavorable
commitments,  except  as  referred  to or  reflected  or  provided  for in  said
financial  statements.  Since  December  31,  1995,  there has been no  material
adverse change in the financial condition,  operations, business or prospects of
the Parent or any of its  Subsidiaries.  Each of the Parent and its Subsidiaries
is Solvent.

         SECTION 7.15.  Litigation.

         Except as set forth on Schedule 7.15.,  there are no actions,  suits or
proceedings  pending  against,  or to the  knowledge  of the  Parent  threatened
against  or  affecting,  the  Borrower,  any  Guarantor  or  any  of  its  other
Subsidiaries  before any court or arbitrator or any governmental body, agency or
official (a) which could  reasonably be expected to have a Materially  Adversely
Effect  or (b)  which  in  any  manner  draws  into  question  the  validity  or
enforceability of any Loan Document.

         SECTION 7.16.  ERISA.

         (a) Existing  Plans.  Except for Plans as set forth on Schedule  7.16.,
neither the Borrower nor any  Guarantor  maintains,  nor has the Borrower or any
Guarantor at any time  maintained,  any Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.
Neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor is, nor has at any time been, a member of
any ERISA Group with any Person that has at any time maintained any such Plan.

         (b) ERISA and Internal  Revenue Code Compliance and Liability.  Each of
the Borrower and the Guarantors is in compliance with all applicable  provisions
of ERISA and the  regulations  and  published  interpretations  thereunder  with
respect  to all Plans  except  where  failure  to comply  would not  result in a
Materially  Adverse Effect and except for any required  amendments for which the
remedial  amendment  period as defined in Section 401(b) of the Code has not yet
expired.  Each Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the
Internal  Revenue Code has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be
so  qualified,  and each trust  related to such plan has been  determined  to be
exempt under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. No material  liability
has been incurred by the Borrower or any Guarantor which remains unsatisfied for
any taxes or penalties with respect to any Plan or any Multiemployer Plan.

         (c)  Funding.  No Plan has  been  terminated,  nor has any  accumulated
funding deficiency (as defined in Section 412 of the Internal Revenue Code) been
incurred (without regard to any waiver granted under Section 412 of the Internal
Revenue  Code),  nor has any  funding  waiver  from  the IRS  been  received  or
requested with respect to any Plan, nor has the Borrower or any Guarantor failed
to make any  contributions  or to pay any  amounts  due and owing as required by
Section 412 of the Internal  Revenue Code,  Section 302 of ERISA or the terms of
any Plan prior to the due dates of such  contributions  under Section 412 of the
Internal  Revenue  Code or  Section  302 of ERISA,  nor has there been any event
requiring  any  disclosure  under Section  4041(c)(3)(C),  4063(a) or 4068(f) of
ERISA with respect to any Plan.

         (d) Prohibited Transactions and Payments.  Neither the Borrower nor any
Guarantor has: (1) engaged in a nonexempt  prohibited  transaction  described in
Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal  Revenue Code; (2) incurred
any  liability to the PBGC which remains  outstanding  other than the payment of
premiums and there are no  prepayments  which are due and unpaid;  (3) failed to
make a required  contribution or payment to a Multiemployer  Plan; or (4) failed
to make a required  installment or other  required  payment under Section 412 of
the Internal Revenue Code.

         (e) No ERISA Termination Event. No Termination Event has occurred or is
reasonably expected to occur.

         (f) ERISA Litigation.  No material  proceeding,  claim,  lawsuit and/or
investigation  is existing or, to the best  knowledge of the Borrower  after due
inquiry,  threatened  concerning or involving any (1) employee  welfare  benefit
plan (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA)  currently  maintained or contributed
to by the Borrower, (2) Plan or (3) Multiemployer Plan.

         SECTION 7.17.  Environmental Matters.

         Each of the Borrower,  the  Guarantors and the other  Subsidiaries  has
obtained all Governmental  Approvals which are required under Environmental Laws
and is in compliance in all material  respects with all terms and  conditions of
such Governmental  Approvals and all such Environmental  Laws. The Parent is not
aware of, and has not received notice of, any past,  present,  or future events,
conditions,  circumstances,  activities, practices, incidents, actions, or plans
which,  with  respect  to the  Borrower,  the  Guarantors  or  any of the  other
Subsidiaries,  may interfere with or prevent compliance or continued  compliance
with Environmental  Laws, or may give rise to any common-law or legal liability,
or otherwise  form the basis of any claim,  action,  demand,  suit,  proceeding,
hearing,  study,  or  investigation,  based on or  related  to the  manufacture,
processing,  distribution,  use, treatment,  storage,  disposal,  transport,  or
handling or the  emission,  discharge,  release or  threatened  release into the
environment, of any pollutant,  contaminant,  chemical, or industrial, toxic, or
other Hazardous Material. There is no civil, criminal, or administrative action,
suit, demand,  claim,  hearing,  notice, or demand letter,  notice of violation,
investigation, or proceeding pending or, to the Parent's knowledge,  threatened,
against the Borrower,  any Guarantor or any other Subsidiary relating in any way
to Environmental Laws.

         SECTION 7.18.  Taxes.

         All  federal,  state  and  other  tax  returns  of  the  Borrower,  the
Guarantors  and the other  Subsidiaries  required by Applicable  Law to be filed
have been duly filed,  and all federal,  state and other taxes,  assessments and
other  governmental  charges or levies upon the  Borrower,  any Guarantor or any
other Subsidiary and their  respective  properties,  income,  profits and assets
which are due and payable have been paid, except any such nonpayment which is at
the time  permitted  under  Section 8.3.  None of the United  States  income tax
returns of the Borrower,  any Guarantor or any other Subsidiary are under audit.
No tax liens have been filed and no claims are being  asserted  with  respect to
any such taxes. All charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower,
each  Guarantor  and each  other  Subsidiary  in  respect  of any taxes or other
governmental charges are in accordance with GAAP.

         SECTION 7.19.  Investment Company; Public Utility Holding Company.

         Neither the Borrower,  any Guarantor nor any other Subsidiary is (i) an
"investment company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company" within
the meaning of the Investment  Company Act of 1940, as amended,  (ii) a "holding
company" or a "subsidiary company" of a "holding company",  or an "affiliate" of
a "holding company" or of a "subsidiary company" of a "holding company",  within
the meaning of the Public Utility  Holding  Company Act of 1935, as amended,  or
(iii) subject to any other Applicable Law which purports to regulate or restrict
its ability to borrow money or to consummate the  transactions  contemplated  by
this Agreement or to perform its obligations under any Loan Document to which it
is a party.

         SECTION 7.20.  Full Disclosure.

         All written  information  furnished  by or on behalf of the Borrower or
any Guarantor to the Agent and the Lenders for purposes of or in connection with
this  Agreement  and the other Loan  Documents or any  transaction  contemplated
hereby is, and all such information  hereafter  furnished by or on behalf of the
Borrower or any  Guarantor  to the Agent or any of the Lenders  will be true and
accurate in all material  respects on the date as of which such  information  is
stated or certified and does not, and will not, fail to state any material facts
necessary to make the statements  contained  therein not misleading.  The Parent
has  disclosed  to the Agent in  writing  any and all facts  known to the Parent
which  materially  and adversely  affect or may affect (to the extent the Parent
can now reasonably foresee), the business,  operations or financial condition of
the Borrower, each Guarantor and each of the other Consolidated Subsidiaries, or
the ability of the Borrower or any  Guarantor to perform its  obligations  under
the Loan Documents to which it is a party.

         SECTION 7.21.  Not Plan Assets.

         Neither the assets of the Borrower nor any  Guarantor  constitute,  nor
will constitute,  plan assets, within the meaning of ERISA, the Internal Revenue
Code and the respective regulations promulgated thereunder, of any ERISA Plan or
Non-ERISA Plan. The execution,  delivery and performance of this Agreement,  and
the  borrowing  and  repayment  of  amounts  thereunder,  do not  and  will  not
constitute "prohibited transactions" under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code.

         SECTION 7.22.  Business.

         The  Parent  and its  Consolidated  Subsidiaries,  are  engaged  in the
business of owning,  managing and developing community and neighborhood shopping
centers and other activities incidental thereto.

SECTION 7.23.  Title to Properties; Necessary Agreements, Licenses, Permits;
 Adverse Contracts.

         Each of the Borrower, the Guarantors and the other Subsidiaries (i) has
good and marketable  title to its assets and  properties  except as disclosed in
the consolidated  financial  statements of the Parent delivered to the Agent and
the Lenders,  (ii) is in compliance  with all real and personal  property leases
where the failure to so be in compliance would have a Materially Adverse Effect,
(iii) possess all necessary and  appropriate  agreements,  contracts,  franchise
arrangements,  patents,  trademarks,  licenses,  permits and other  intellectual
property  rights  free from  burdensome  or undue  restriction  and (iv) has not
infringed  upon or otherwise  violated any trademark,  patent,  license or other
intellectual  property agreement where such infringement would have a Materially
Adverse  Effect.  Neither  the  Borrower,  any  Guarantor  nor any of the  other
Subsidiaries  has assumed  liability  under or is a party to nor is it or any of
its  property  subject to or bound by any  forward  purchase  contract,  futures
contract, covenant not to compete,  unconditional purchase, take or pay or other
agreement  which  restricts  its  ability to conduct  its  business  or,  either
individually  or in the  aggregate,  has a  Materially  Adverse  Effect or could
reasonably be expected to have a Materially Adverse Effect.

         SECTION 7.24.  Non-Guarantor Entities.

         Schedule  7.24. is as of the date hereof a complete and correct list of
all  Non-Guarantor  Entities,  setting  forth for each such Person,  the correct
legal name of such  Person,  the type of legal entity which each such Person is,
and all equity  interests  in such Person held  directly  or  indirectly  by the
Parent. No Non-Guarantor  Entity satisfies any condition contained in clause (i)
or (ii) of Section 8.24.(a).

articles of incorporation,  by-laws, operating agreement,  partnership agreement
or other  organizational  or  constituent  document  without  the prior  written
consent of the Lenders whose combined Pro Rata Shares equal or exceed 51% except
as is required (i) under Applicable Laws or (ii) in order to maintain compliance
with Section 8.18.

         SECTION 8.23.  Distributions.

         If no Event of Default shall have occurred and be  continuing,  none of

         any other Person or otherwise  incurring  any  Indebtedness  or (2) any
         fiduciary  obligation owing by such Subsidiary to the holders of equity
         interest in such Subsidiary and imposed under Applicable Law; provided,

shall become immediately due and payable without presentment,  demand,  protest,
notice of intention to accelerate or notice of acceleration,  or other notice of
any kind,  all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower.  Upon the  occurrence
and  during the  continuance  of a Default  under  Section  10.1.(h)  or Section
10.1.(i)(y),  the right of the Borrower to request Revolving Loans and Swingline
Loans shall be suspended.

         SECTION 10.3.  Allocation of Proceeds.

         If an Event of Default shall have  occurred and be  continuing  and the
maturity of the Notes has been  accelerated,  all payments received by the Agent
under any of the Loan  Documents,  in respect of any principal of or interest on
the  Obligations  or any other  amounts  payable by the  Borrower  hereunder  or
thereunder, shall be applied by the Agent in the following order and priority:

                  (a) amounts due to the Agent and the Lenders in respect of 
         fees and expenses due under Section 12.3.;

                  (b) payments of interest on Swingline Loans;

                  (c) payments of interest on all other Loans and  Reimbursement
         Obligations, to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Lenders;

                  (d) payments of principal of Swingline Loans;

                  (e) payments of principal of all other Loans and Reimbursement
         Obligations, to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Lenders;

                  (f) amounts to be deposited into the Collateral Account;

                  (g) amounts due to the Agent and the Lenders pursuant to 
         Sections 11.8. and 12.5.;

                  (h)  payments  of all other  amounts due under any of the Loan
         Documents,  if any,  to be  applied  for  the  ratable  benefit  of the
         Lenders; and

                  (i) any amount remaining after  application as provided above,
         shall be paid to the Borrower or whomever else may be legally  entitled
         thereto.

         SECTION 10.4.  Rights Cumulative.

         The  rights  and  remedies  of the Agent  and the  Lenders  under  this
Agreement  and each of the other  Loan  Documents  shall be  cumulative  and not
exclusive of any rights or remedies  which any of them may otherwise  have under
Applicable Law. In exercising their respective rights and remedies the Agent and
the Lenders may be selective  and no failure or delay by the Agent or any of the
Lenders in  exercising  any right shall operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any
single or partial  exercise of any power or right  preclude its other or further
exercise or the exercise of any other power or right.

         SECTION 10.5.  Recission of Acceleration by Majority Lenders.

         If at any time after  acceleration of the maturity of the Loans and the
other  Obligations,  the  Borrower  shall pay all  arrears of  interest  and all
payments on account of principal of the Obligations  which shall have become due
otherwise  than by  acceleration  (with interest on principal and, to the extent
permitted by Applicable Law, on overdue interest, at the rates specified in this
Agreement)  and all Events of Default and  Defaults  (other than  nonpayment  of
principal of and accrued  interest on the  Obligations due and payable solely by
virtue of  acceleration)  shall be remedied or waived to the satisfaction of the
Majority Lenders,  then by written notice to the Borrower,  the Majority Lenders
may elect, in the sole discretion of such Majority Lenders, to rescind and annul
the acceleration and its consequences.  The provisions of the preceding sentence
are intended  merely to bind all of the Lenders to a decision  which may be made
at the  election of the  Majority  Lenders,  and are not intended to benefit the
Borrower  and do not give the  Borrower  the right to  require  the  Lenders  to
rescind or annul any  acceleration  hereunder,  even if the conditions set forth
herein are satisfied.

         SECTION 10.6.  Collateral Account.

         (a) As collateral  security for the prompt  payment in full when due of
all Letter of Credit Liabilities,  the Borrower hereby pledges and grants to the
Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders as provided herein, a security interest in
all of the Borrower's right, title and interest in and to the Collateral Account
and the balances  from time to time in the  Collateral  Account  (including  the
investments and  reinvestments  therein  provided for below).  The balances from
time to time in the  Collateral  Account  shall not  constitute  payment  of any
Letter of Credit  Liabilities  until  applied by the Agent as  provided  herein.
Anything in this  Agreement to the contrary  notwithstanding,  funds held in the
Collateral  Account  shall be subject to  withdrawal  only as  provided  in this
Section.

         (b) Amounts on deposit in the Collateral  Account shall be invested and
reinvested by the Agent in such  investments as the Agent shall determine in its
sole  discretion.  All such investments and  reinvestments  shall be held in the
name of and be under the sole dominion and control of the Agent. The Agent shall
exercise  reasonable  care in the custody and  preservation of any funds held in
the  Collateral  Account and shall be deemed to have exercised such care if such
funds are accorded  treatment  substantially  equivalent to that which the Agent
accords other funds deposited with the Agent, it being understood that the Agent
shall not have any  responsibility  for taking any  necessary  steps to preserve
rights  against any  parties  with  respect to any funds held in the  Collateral
Account.

         (c) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be  continuing,  the
Agent may (and, if instructed by the Majority Lenders,  shall) in its (or their)
discretion  at any time  and  from  time to time  elect  to  liquidate  any such
investments and  reinvestments and credit the proceeds thereof to the Collateral
Account and apply or cause to be applied such proceeds and any other balances in
the Collateral Account to the payment of any of the Letter of Credit Liabilities
then due and payable.

         (d) When all of the Obligations  shall have been  indefeasibly  paid in
full and no Letters  of Credit  remain  outstanding,  the Agent  shall  promptly
deliver to the Borrower,  against receipt but without any recourse,  warranty or
representation whatsoever, the balances remaining in the Collateral Account.

         (e) The Borrower  shall pay to the Agent from time to time such fees as
the Agent normally  charges for similar  services in connection with the Agent's
administration  of the Collateral  Account and investments and  reinvestments of
funds therein.

                              ARTICLE XI. THE AGENT

         SECTION 11.1.  Appointment and Authorization.

         Each Lender irrevocably  appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such
action as the  contractual  representative  on its behalf and to  exercise  such
powers  under  the Loan  Documents  as are  delegated  to the Agent by the terms
thereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The
Borrower shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon a written notice or written
response from the Agent as being made pursuant to the requisite  concurrence  or
consent of the Lenders  necessary to take such action without  investigation  or
otherwise contacting the Lenders hereunder. Nothing herein shall be construed to
deem the Agent a trustee  for any  Lender  nor to impose on the Agent  duties or
obligations other than those expressly provided for herein. Not in limitation of
the foregoing, each Lender agrees the Agent has no fiduciary obligations to such
Lender  under this  Agreement,  any other Loan  Document  or  otherwise.  At the
request of a Lender,  the Agent will  forward to each  Lender  copies or,  where
appropriate,  originals  of the  documents  delivered  to the Agent  pursuant to
Section  6.1.  The Agent shall  deliver to each  Lender,  promptly  upon receipt
thereof by the Agent, copies of each of the financial statements,  certificates,
notices and other documents  delivered to the Agent pursuant to Sections 8.1.(a)
through (t). The Agent will also furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such
Lender,  a copy of any  certificate  or  notice  furnished  to the  Agent by the
Borrower  pursuant  to this  Agreement  or any other Loan  Document  not already
delivered  to such Lender  pursuant to the terms of this  Agreement  or any such
other Loan  Document.  As to any matters not expressly  provided for by the Loan
Documents  (including,  without  limitation,  enforcement  or  collection of the
Notes),  the Agent shall not be required to exercise any  discretion or take any
action,  but shall be  required  to act or to refrain  from acting (and shall be
fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of
the  Majority  Lenders,  and such  instructions  shall be  binding  upon all the
Lenders and all holders of Notes; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be
required to take any action  which  exposes the Agent to personal  liability  or
which is contrary to this  Agreement  or any other Loan  Document or  Applicable
Law. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence
of a Default or Event of Default unless the Agent has obtained knowledge of such
Default or Event of Default in the manner  provided for under  Section  11.5. In
the event that the Agent has actual  knowledge of the occurrence of a Default or
Event of Default,  the Agent shall give prompt  notice  thereof to the  Lenders.
Each Lender  authorizes  and directs the Agent to enter into the Loan  Documents
for the  benefit of the  Lenders.  Each Lender  hereby  agrees  that,  except as
otherwise  set  forth  herein,  any  action  taken by the  Majority  Lenders  in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents,  and the
exercise  by the  Majority  Lenders of the powers set forth  herein or  therein,
together with such other powers as are reasonably  incidental thereto,  shall be
authorized  and  binding  upon  all of the  Lenders.  Not in  limitation  of the
foregoing,  the Agent shall not  exercise  any right or remedy it or the Lenders
may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of
Default unless the Majority  Lenders have so directed the Agent to exercise such
right or remedy.

         SECTION 11.2.  The Agent and Affiliates.

         Wells Fargo,  as a Lender,  shall have the same rights and powers under
this  Agreement and any other Loan Document as any other Lender and may exercise
the same as though it were not the  Agent;  and the term  "the  Lender"  or "the
Lenders" shall,  unless otherwise  expressly  indicated,  include Wells Fargo in
each case in its  individual  capacity.  Wells Fargo and its  affiliates and the
other Lenders and their  respective  affiliates  may each accept  deposits from,
maintain  deposits  or credit  balances  for,  invest in,  lend money to, act as
trustee under  indentures of, and generally  engage in any kind of business with
the Borrower and any  Affiliate of the Borrower as if Wells Fargo or such Lender
were any  other  bank and  without  any duty to  account  therefor  to the other
Lenders.

         SECTION 11.3.  Collateral Matters.

         Each  Lender  authorizes  and  directs the Agent to enter into the Loan
Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except
as otherwise  set forth  herein,  any action  taken by the  Majority  Lenders in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents,  and the
exercise  by the  Majority  Lenders of the powers set forth  herein or  therein,
together with such other powers as are reasonably  incidental thereto,  shall be
authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders.

         SECTION 11.4.  Approvals of the Lenders.

         All  communications  from  the  Agent  to any  Lender  requesting  such
Lender's determination,  consent,  approval or disapproval (a) shall be given in
the form of a written  notice to such  Lender,  (b)  shall be  accompanied  by a
description  of the  matter or thing as to which such  determination,  approval,
consent or  disapproval  is  requested,  or shall  advise such Lender where such
matter or thing may be  inspected,  or shall  otherwise  describe  the matter or
issue to be resolved,  (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such Lender
and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender,  written materials and
a summary  of all oral  information  provided  to the Agent by the  Borrower  in
respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (d) shall include the Agent's
recommended  course of action or  determination  in  respect  thereof.  Unless a
Lender  shall  give  written  notice  to  the  Agent  that  it  objects  to  the
recommendation   or   determination  of  the  Agent  (together  with  a  written
explanation  of the reasons behind such  objection)  within 10 Business Days (or
such lesser period as may be required  under the Loan Documents for the Agent to
respond),  such  Lender  shall be deemed  to have  conclusively  approved  of or
consented to such recommendation or determination.

         SECTION 11.5.  Notice of Defaults.

         The  Agent  shall  not be  deemed  to have  knowledge  or notice of the
occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Agent has received notice
from a Lender or the  Borrower  referring  to this  Agreement,  describing  with
reasonable  specificity  such  Default or Event of Default and stating that such
notice is a "notice of default." If any Lender  becomes  aware of any Default or
Event of Default,  it shall promptly send to the Agent such "notice of default."
Further, if the Agent receives such a "notice of default",  the Agent shall give
prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.

         SECTION 11.6.  Consultation with Experts.

         The Agent may consult  with legal  counsel  (who may be counsel for the
Borrower),  independent  public accountants and other experts selected by it and
shall not be liable  for any  action  taken or omitted to be taken by it in good
faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

         SECTION 11.7.  Liability of the Agent.

         Neither the Agent nor any of its affiliates nor any of their respective
directors,  officers,  the  Agents or  employees  shall be liable for any action
taken or not taken by the Agent in connection  with any of the Loan Documents in
the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither the Agent
nor any of its affiliates nor any of their respective directors,  officers,  the
Agents or  employees  shall be  responsible  for or have any duty to  ascertain,
inquire into or verify (a) any  statement,  warranty or  representation  made in
connection with any of the Loan Documents,  or any borrowing hereunder,  (b) the
performance  or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of the Borrower
or a Guarantor,  (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article VI.,
or (d) the validity,  effectiveness  or genuineness of any of the Loan Documents
or  any  other  instrument  or  writing  furnished  in  connection  herewith  or
therewith.  The Agent shall not incur any  liability by acting in reliance  upon
any notice,  consent,  certificate,  statement, or other writing (which may be a
bank  wire,  telex or  similar  writing)  believed  by it to be genuine or to be
signed by the proper party or parties.

         SECTION 11.8.  Indemnification of the Agent.

         The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not  reimbursed
by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) in
accordance  with the Lenders'  respective Pro Rata Shares,  from and against any
and  all  liabilities,   obligations,   losses,  damages,  penalties,   actions,
judgments,  suits,  costs,  expenses  or  disbursements  of any  kind or  nature
whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against
the Agent in any way  relating  to or arising out of the Loan  Documents  or any
action  taken or  omitted  by the  Agent  under  the Loan  Documents;  provided,
however,  that no Lender  shall be liable for any  portion of such  liabilities,
obligations,  losses,  damages,  penalties,  actions,  judgments,  suits, costs,
expenses or  disbursements  (i) to the extent  arising  from the  Agent's  gross
negligence  or  willful  misconduct  or (ii) if the Agent  fails to  follow  the
written direction of the Majority Lenders unless such failure is pursuant to the
Agent's  good faith  reliance on the advice of counsel of which the Lenders have
received notice.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,  each Lender
agrees to reimburse the Agent  promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any
out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) reasonably incurred by the Agent
in connection with the preparation,  execution,  administration,  or enforcement
of, or legal  advice  with  respect  to the  rights or  responsibilities  of the
parties  under,  the  Loan  Documents,  to the  extent  that  the  Agent  is not
reimbursed  for such  expenses by the Borrower.  The  agreements in this Section
shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts  payable  hereunder
or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement.

         SECTION 11.9.  Credit Decision.

         Each Lender  expressly  acknowledges  that neither the Agent nor any of
its  officers,   directors,   employees,  agents,   attorneys-in-fact  or  other
affiliates has made any representations or warranties to such Lender and that no
act by the Agent hereinafter  taken,  including any review of the affairs of the
Borrower or  Guarantors,  shall be deemed to constitute  any  representation  or
warranty  by the Agent to any  Lender.  Each  Lender  acknowledges  that it has,
independently  and without  reliance upon the Agent, any other Lender or counsel
to the  Agent,  and  based  on the  financial  statements  of  the  Borrower  or
Guarantors  and its  affiliates,  its  review of the Loan  Documents,  the legal
opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel
and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate,  made its
own credit and legal  analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the
transaction  contemplated  hereby.  Each Lender also  acknowledges that it will,
independently  and without  reliance upon the Agent, any other Lender or counsel
to the Agent, and based on such review, advice,  documents and information as it
shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking
or not taking action under the Loan Documents.  Except for notices,  reports and
other documents  expressly  required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent
hereunder,  the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender
with any  credit  or other  information  concerning  the  business,  operations,
property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, any
Guarantor or any other  Affiliate which may come into possession of the Agent or
any of its officers,  directors,  employees,  the Agents,  attorneys-in-fact  or
other  affiliates.  Each Lender  acknowledges  that the Agent's legal counsel in
connection with the  transactions  contemplated by this Agreement is only acting
as counsel to the Agent and is not acting as counsel to such Lender.

         SECTION 11.10.  Successor Agent.

         The Agent may  resign  at any time by  giving  30 days'  prior  written
notice thereof, to the Lenders and the Borrower. The Agent may be removed as the
Agent under the Loan Documents for good cause upon 30 days' prior written notice
to the Agent by the Majority Lenders.  Upon any such resignation or removal, the
Majority  Lenders  shall  have the right to  appoint a  successor  Agent.  If no
successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders,  and shall
have accepted such appointment,  within 30 days after the current Agent's giving
of notice of resignation or the Majority  Lenders' removal of the current Agent,
then the current Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent,
which shall be a Lender,  if any Lender shall be willing to serve. Any successor
Agent must be a bank whose debt obligations (or whose parent's debt obligations)
are rated not less than  investment  grade or its  equivalent by a Rating Agency
and which has total assets in excess of $10,000,000,000.  Upon the acceptance of
its  appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor  Agent,  such successor Agent
shall  thereupon  succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of
the current Agent, and the current Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder. After any current Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent,
the  provisions  of this  Article  shall  inure to its benefit as to any actions
taken or  omitted  to be taken  by it  while it was the  Agent.  Notwithstanding
anything  contained herein to the contrary,  the Agent may assign its rights and
duties hereunder to any of its affiliates by giving the Borrower and each Lender
prior written notice thereof.

         SECTION 11.11.  Approvals and Other Actions by Majority Lenders.

         Each of the following shall require the approval of, or may be taken at
the request of, the Majority Lenders:

         (a) Approval of Eligible Properties as Unencumbered Pool Properties as
             provided in Section 4.1.(c);

         (b) Termination of the Commitments and  acceleration of the Obligations
             upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as provided in Section 
             10.2.;

         (c) Recission of acceleration of any of the Obligations as provided in
             Section 10.5.;

         (d) Removing the Agent for good cause and approving of its replacement
             as provided in Section 11.10.; and

         (e) Except as  specifically  provided  otherwise in Section 12.7.,  any
             consent or approval  regarding,  any waiver of the  performance or 
             observance by the  Borrower  of and the waiver of the  continuance 
             of any Default or Event of Default in respect of, any term of this 
             Agreement or any other Loan Document.

         SECTION 11.12.  Documentation, Syndication and Managing Agents.

         None of the Documentation  Agent, the Syndication Agent or the Managing
Agents (each in such capacity,  a "Titled Agent") assumes any  responsibility or
obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing,  enforcement
or  collection  of any of the Loans,  nor any duties as an agent  hereunder  for
Lenders. The titles of "Documentation Agent",  "Syndication Agent" and "Managing
Agent" are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of
the Titled  Agents to the Agent,  the Borrower or any Lender and the use of such
titles does not impose on the Titled  Agents any duties or  obligations  greater
than those of any other Lender or entitle the Titled  Agents to any rights other
than those to which any other Lender is entitled.

                           ARTICLE XII. MISCELLANEOUS

         SECTION 12.1.  Notices.

         All notices,  requests and other  communications to any party under the

         SECTION 12.2.  No Waivers.

         No failure or delay by the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right,
power or privilege under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof nor
shall any  single or  partial  exercise  thereof  preclude  any other or further
exercise  thereof or the exercise of any other right,  power or  privilege.  The
rights and remedies  provided in the Loan Documents  shall be cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

         SECTION 12.3.  Expenses.

         The  Borrower  will pay on demand all  present  and  future  reasonable
expenses of:

covered by any of the preceding  subsections,  in connection with any bankruptcy
or other  proceeding of the type described in Sections  10.1.(g) or (h), and the
reasonable  fees and  disbursements  of  counsel  to the  Agent  and any  Lender
actually  incurred in connection  with the  representation  of the Agent or such
Lender  in any  matter  relating  to or  arising  out of  any  such  proceeding,
including without  limitation (i) any motion for relief from any stay or similar
order, (ii) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of any document
relating to the Agent or such Lender and (iii) the  negotiation  and preparation
of any plan of reorganization of the Borrower, whether proposed by the Borrower,
the Lenders or any other Person, and whether such fees and expenses are incurred
prior  to,  during  or  after  the   commencement  of  such  proceeding  or  the
confirmation or conclusion of any such proceeding.

         SECTION 12.4.  Stamp, Intangible and Recording Taxes.

         The  Borrower  will pay any and all  stamp,  intangible,  registration,
recordation and similar taxes, fees or charges and shall indemnify the Agent and
each Lender  against any and all  liabilities  with respect to or resulting from
any delay in the payment or  omission  to pay any such  taxes,  fees or charges,
which  may be  payable  or  determined  to be  payable  in  connection  with the
execution,  delivery,  recording,  performance or enforcement of this Agreement,
the Notes and any of the other Loan Documents or the perfection of any rights or
Liens thereunder.

         SECTION 12.5.  Indemnification.

         The  Borrower  shall and hereby  agrees to  indemnify,  defend and hold
harmless  the Agent and each of the  Lenders  and  their  respective  directors,
officers,  the Agents and  employees  from and  against  (a) any and all losses,
claims, damages,  liabilities,  deficiencies,  judgments or expenses incurred by
any of them  (except  to the  extent  that  it  results  from  their  own  gross
negligence or willful misconduct) arising out of or by reason of any litigation,
investigations,  claims  or  proceedings  which  arise  out of or are in any way
related to: (i) this Agreement or the transactions  contemplated  thereby;  (ii)
the  making of Loans or  issuance  of  Letters  of  Credit;  (iii) any actual or
proposed  use by the  Borrower  of the  proceeds  of the Loans or of  Letters of
Credit;  or (iv) the Agent's or the Lenders'  entering into this Agreement,  the
other Loan  Documents or any other  agreements  and documents  relating  hereto,
including,  without limitation,  amounts paid in settlement, court costs and the
reasonable  fees and  disbursements  of counsel  incurred in connection with any
such  litigation,  investigation,  claim or proceeding or any advice rendered in
connection with any of the foregoing and (b) any such losses,  claims,  damages,
liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or expenses incurred in connection with any
remedial or other similar action taken by the Borrower,  the Agent or any of the
Lenders in connection with the required compliance by the Borrower or any of the
Subsidiaries,  or any of their respective properties, with any federal, state or
local  Environmental Laws or other material  environmental  rules,  regulations,
orders,  directions,  ordinances,  criteria or guidelines.  If and to the extent
that the obligations of the Borrower hereunder are unenforceable for any reason,
the Borrower  hereby agrees to make the maximum  contribution to the payment and
satisfaction of such obligations  which is permissible under Applicable Law. The
Borrower's obligations hereunder shall survive any termination of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents and the payment in full of the Obligations, and are
in addition to, and not in substitution  of, any other of its other  obligations
set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

         SECTION 12.6.  Setoff.

         In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law
and  not by  way of  limitation  of any  such  rights,  each  Lender  is  hereby
authorized by the Borrower, at any time or from time to time upon the occurrence
and during the  continuance  of an Event of Default  but  subject to the Agent's
prior written  consent,  without  notice to the Borrower or to any other Person,
any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set-off and to appropriate and
to apply any and all deposits  (general or special,  including,  but not limited
to,  indebtedness  evidenced  by  certificates  of deposit,  whether  matured or
unmatured) and any other  indebtedness  at any time held or owing by such Lender
or any  Affiliate  of such  Lender,  to or for the credit or the  account of the
Borrower  against and on account of any of the  Obligations  then due and owing.
The  Borrower  agrees,  to the  fullest  extent it may  effectively  do so under
Applicable  Law, that any holder of a  participation  in a Note,  whether or not
acquired pursuant to the foregoing  arrangements,  may exercise rights of setoff
or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such  participation as fully as
if such holder of a participation  were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the
amount of such participation.

         SECTION 12.7.  Amendments.

         Any consent or approval  required or permitted by this  Agreement or in
any other Loan Document  (other than any agreement  evidencing the fees referred
to in  Section  3.1.(e))  to be  given  by the  Lenders  may be  given,  and the
performance or observance by the Borrower of any terms of any such Loan Document
or the  continuance  of any  Default or Event of Default  may be waived  (either
generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively)
with, but only with, the written consent of the Majority Lenders.  Any provision
of this  Agreement  or of any other  Loan  Document  (other  than any  agreement
evidencing the fees referred to in Section  3.1.(e)) may be amended or otherwise
modified  with,  but only with,  the  written  consent of the  Borrower  and the
Majority Lenders. Any provision of any agreement evidencing the fees referred to
in Section  3.1.(e) may be amended or otherwise  modified only in writing by the
Agent and the Borrower, and the performance or observance by the Borrower of any
terms of any such  agreement may be waived only with the written  consent of the
Agent.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  none of the following may be amended or
otherwise modified, nor may compliance by the Borrower, as applicable thereunder
or with  respect  thereto  be waived,  without  the  written  consent of all the
Lenders and the Borrower:

     (a)  the principal amount of any Loan (including forgiveness of any
          amount of principal);

     (b)  the  rates of  interest  on the  Loans  and the  amount of any
          interest  payable on the Loans  (including the  forgiveness of
          any accrued but unpaid interest);

    (c)   the  dates  on which  any  principal  or  interest  payable  by the
          Borrower under any Loan Document is due;

    (d)   the provisions of the first sentence of Section 2.1.(a), Section 2.2.
          (a), Section 2.8.(f), Section 9.2. and this Section;

    (e)   the Revolving Credit Termination Date;

    (f)   the Termination Date;

    (g)   the obligations of a Guarantor  under the Guaranty,  including
          the release of a Guarantor  therefrom  (except as specifically
          permitted in the last sentence of Section 4.2.);

    (h)   the definition of Commitment, Majority Lenders (or any minimum
          requirement  necessary for the Lenders or Majority  Lenders to
          take action hereunder), Pro Rata Share, Commitment and Maximum
          Loan   Availability  and  Unencumbered  Pool  Value  (and  the
          definitions used in either such definition and the percentages
          and rates used in the calculation thereof); and

    (i)   the amount and payment date of any fees.

Further,  no  amendment,  waiver or consent  unless in writing and signed by the
Agent,  in addition to the Lenders  required  hereinabove  to take such  action,
shall  affect the rights or duties of the Agent under this  Agreement  or any of
the other Loan Documents.  Any amendment,  waiver or consent relating to Section
2.3. or the  obligations  of the  Swingline  Lender under this  Agreement or any
other Loan Document  shall, in addition to the Lenders  required  hereinabove to
take such action, require the written consent of the Swingline Lender. No waiver
shall  extend to or affect any  obligation  not  expressly  waived or impair any
right consequent  thereon. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part
of any Lender or the Agent in  exercising  any right  shall  operate as a waiver
thereof or otherwise  be  prejudicial  thereto.  No notice to or demand upon the
Borrower  shall  entitle the  Borrower  to other or further  notice or demand in
similar or other circumstances.

         SECTION 12.8.  Successors and Assigns.

         (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and their  respective  successors and assigns,
except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise  transfer any of its rights
under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all the Lenders.

         (b) Any  Lender  may at any time  grant  to one or more  banks or other
financial  institutions  (each a "Participant")  participating  interests in its
Commitment or the Obligations owing to such Lender. Except as otherwise provided
in Section 12.6.,  no  Participant  shall have any rights or benefits under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document. In the event of any such grant by a Lender
of  a  participating  interest  to  a  Participant,  such  Lender  shall  remain
responsible for the performance of its obligations  hereunder,  and the Borrower
and the Agent shall  continue to deal  solely and  directly  with such Lender in
connection with such Lender's rights and obligations  under this Agreement.  Any
agreement  pursuant to which any Lender may grant such a participating  interest
shall  provide  that such  Participant  may not grant to any  other  Person  any
participating interest in such Participant's interest and that such Lender shall
retain  the sole right and  responsibility  to enforce  the  obligations  of the
Borrower  hereunder  including,  without  limitation,  the right to approve  any
amendment,  modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided,
however,  such Lender may agree with the Participant  that it will not,  without
the consent of the Participant,  agree to (i) increase such Lender's Commitment,
(ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal on the Loans or portions
thereof  owing to such  Lender,  or (iii)  reduce the rate at which  interest is
payable  thereon.  An  assignment  or other  transfer  which is not permitted by
subsection (c) or (d) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement
only to the extent of a participating  interest  granted in accordance with this
subsection (b).

         (c) Any Lender may with the prior written  consent of the Agent and the
Borrower (which consent,  in each case,  shall not be unreasonably  withheld) at
any time assign to one or more Eligible  Assignees (each an "Assignee") all or a
portion of its  rights  and  obligations  under  this  Agreement  and the Notes;
provided,  however,  (i) no such consent by Borrower  shall be required (x) if a
Default or Event of Default  shall have occurred and be continuing or (y) in the
case of an assignment to another Lender or an affiliate of another Lender;  (ii)
any partial  assignment  shall be in an amount at least equal to $10,000,000 and
after  giving  effect  to  such  assignment  the  assigning   Lender  retains  a
Commitment,  or if the Commitments have been  terminated,  holds Notes having an
aggregate  outstanding  principal balance, of at least $10,000,000;  (iii) after
giving effect to any such assignment by the Agent,  the Agent in its capacity as
a Lender shall retain a Commitment,  or if the Commitments have been terminated,
hold Notes having an aggregate  outstanding  principal balance,  greater than or
equal to the  Commitment  of each other  Lender  (other  than any  Lender  whose
Commitment  has  increased as a result of a merger or  combination  with another
Lender)  and  (iv)  each  such  assignment  shall  be  effected  by  means of an
Assignment  and  Acceptance  Agreement.  Upon  execution  and  delivery  of such
instrument and payment by such Assignee to such  transferor  Lender of an amount
equal to the purchase  price  agreed  between  such  transferor  Lender and such
Assignee,  such Assignee  shall be deemed to be a Lender party to this Agreement
and shall have all the rights and  obligations  of a Lender with a Commitment as
set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, and the transferor Lender
shall be released from its obligations  hereunder to a corresponding extent, and
no  further  consent  or  action  by any  party  shall  be  required.  Upon  the
consummation  of any assignment  pursuant to this subsection (c), the transferor
Lender,  the Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate  arrangements so that
new Notes are issued to the Assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate.
In connection with any such assignment,  the transferor  Lender shall pay to the
Agent an  administrative  fee for  processing  such  assignment in the amount of
$3,000.

         (d) Any Lender (each, a "Designating Lender") may at any time while the
Borrower has been assigned an Investment Grade Rating from either S&P or Moody's
designate  one  Designated  Lender  to fund Bid Rate  Loans  on  behalf  of such
Designating  Lender  subject  to the  terms  of  this  subsection  (d)  and  the
provisions in the immediately  preceding subsections (b) and (c) shall not apply
to such  designation.  No Lender may designate more than one Designated  Lender.
The parties to each such designation  shall execute and deliver to the Agent for
its acceptance a Designation  Agreement.  Upon such receipt of an  appropriately
completed  Designation Agreement executed by a Designating Lender and a designee
representing  that  it is a  Designated  Lender,  the  Agent  will  accept  such
Designation Agreement and give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower, whereupon,
(i)  the  Borrower  shall  execute  and  deliver  to the  Designating  Lender  a
Designated Lender Note payable to the order of the Designated Lender,  (ii) from
and after  the  effective  date  specified  in the  Designation  Agreement,  the
Designated  Lender shall become a party to this  Agreement  with a right to make
Bid Rate Loans on behalf of its  Designating  Lender  pursuant  to Section  2.2.
after the  Borrower  has  accepted a Bid Rate Loan (or  portion  thereof) of the
Designating  Lender,  and (iii) the  Designated  Lender shall not be required to
make payments with respect to any  obligations in this  Agreement  except to the
extent of excess  cash flow of such  Designated  Lender  which is not  otherwise
required to repay  obligations of such Designated  Lender which are then due and
payable;  provided,  however, that regardless of such designation and assumption
by the Designated  Lender,  the Designating Lender shall be and remain obligated
to the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders for each and every of the obligations
of the Designating Lender and its related Designated Lender with respect to this
Agreement,  including, without limitation, any indemnification obligations under
Section 11.8. and any sums  otherwise  payable to the Borrower by the Designated
Lender.  Each  Designating  Lender  shall  serve as the Agent of the  Designated
Lender and shall on behalf of, and to the exclusion of, the  Designated  Lender:
(i) receive any and all payments made for the benefit of the  Designated  Lender
and (ii) give and  receive all  communications  and notices and take all actions
hereunder,  including, without limitation,  votes, approvals,  waivers, consents
and amendments under or relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Any such notice,  communication,  vote, approval,  waiver,  consent or amendment
shall be signed by the Designating Lender as Agent for the Designated Lender and
shall not be  signed by the  Designated  Lender on its own  behalf  and shall be
binding  on the  Designated  Lender  to the  same  extent  as if  signed  by the
Designated Lender on its own behalf. The Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may
rely  thereon  without  any  requirement  that  the  Designated  Lender  sign or
acknowledge  the same.  No  Designated  Lender may assign or transfer all or any
portion of its interest  hereunder or under any other Loan Document,  other than
assignments  to  the  Designating   Lender  which  originally   designated  such
Designated  Lender.  The Borrower,  the Lenders and the Agent each hereby agrees
that it will not  institute  against  any  Designated  Lender  or join any other
Person  in   instituting   against  any   Designated   Lender  any   bankruptcy,
reorganization,  arrangement,  insolvency or  liquidation  proceeding  under any
federal or state  bankruptcy or similar law, until the later to occur of (x) one
year and one day after the  payment  in full of the latest  maturing  commercial
paper note issued by such  Designated  Lender and (y) the  Termination  Date. In
connection with any such  designation  the  Designating  Lender shall pay to the
Agent an  administrative  fee for processing  such  designation in the amount of
$2,000.

         (e) In addition to the assignments and  participations  permitted under
the foregoing  provisions of this Section,  any Lender may assign and pledge all
or any  portion  of its  Loans  and its  Notes to any  Federal  Reserve  Bank as
collateral  security pursuant to Regulation A and any Operating  Circular issued
by such  Federal  Reserve  Bank,  and  such  Loans  and  Notes  shall  be  fully
transferable as provided therein. No such assignment shall release the assigning
Lender from its obligations hereunder.

         (f) A Lender may furnish any information concerning the Borrower or any
of its  Subsidiaries  in the  possession  of such  Lender  from  time to time to
Assignees and Participants (including prospective Assignees and Participants).

         (g) Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender
may assign or  participate  any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to the
Borrower, the Parent or any of their respective affiliates or Subsidiaries.

         SECTION 12.9.  Governing Law.

         THIS AGREEMENT  SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE  WITH
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA.

         SECTION 12.10.  Litigation.

         (a) EACH PARTY  HERETO  ACKNOWLEDGES  THAT ANY  DISPUTE OR  CONTROVERSY
BETWEEN OR AMONG THE  BORROWER,  THE AGENT OR ANY OF  LENDERS  WOULD BE BASED ON
DIFFICULT  AND  COMPLEX  ISSUES  OF LAW AND FACT AND THAT A TRIAL BY JURY  COULD
RESULT IN  SIGNIFICANT  DELAY AND EXPENSE.  ACCORDINGLY,  TO THE FULLEST  EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF LENDERS,  THE AGENT AND THE BORROWER HEREBY
WAIVES  TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR  PROCEEDING  OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY
COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST THE BORROWER
ARISING  OUT OF THIS  AGREEMENT,  THE NOTES OR ANY  OTHER  LOAN  DOCUMENT  OR IN
CONNECTION  WITH THE  COLLATERAL  OR ANY LIEN OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER CAUSE OR
DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE AGENT OR ANY OF LENDERS OF
ANY KIND OR NATURE.

         (b) THE BORROWER, THE AGENT AND EACH LENDER EACH HEREBY AGREES THAT THE
FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE NORTHERN  DISTRICT OF GEORGIA OR, AT THE OPTION OF
THE  AGENT,  ANY STATE  COURT  LOCATED  IN FULTON  COUNTY,  GEORGIA,  SHALL HAVE
NON-EXCLUSIVE  JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN
OR AMONG THE  BORROWER,  THE AGENT OR ANY OF  LENDERS,  PERTAINING  DIRECTLY  OR
INDIRECTLY  TO THIS  AGREEMENT,  THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER LOAN  DOCUMENT OR TO ANY
MATTER ARISING HEREFROM OR THEREFROM OR THE COLLATERAL.  THE BORROWER  EXPRESSLY
SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING
COMMENCED  IN SUCH COURTS.  THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION  SHALL
NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE  THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER
OR THE  ENFORCEMENT BY THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OF ANY JUDGMENT  OBTAINED IN SUCH
FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE  JURISDICTION.  further, the Borrower irrevocably
waives,  to the fullest extent  permitted by APPLICABLE law, any objection which
it may now or hereafter  have to the laying of the venue of any such  proceeding
brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a
court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

         (c) THE FOREGOING WAIVERS HAVE BEEN MADE WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND
WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES  THEREOF,  AND SHALL SURVIVE
THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER  AMOUNTS  PAYABLE  HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

         SECTION 12.11.  Confidentiality.

         Except as  otherwise  provided by  Applicable  Law,  the Agent and each
Lender  shall  utilize  all  non-public  information  obtained  pursuant  to the
requirements  of this Agreement in accordance  with its customary  procedure for
handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and
sound  banking  practices  but in any event may make  disclosure:  (a) to any of
their respective  affiliates (provided they shall agree to keep such information
confidential  in accordance  with the terms of this Section);  (b) as reasonably
required  by  any  bona  fide  Assignee,  Participant  or  other  transferee  in
connection with the  contemplated  transfer of any Commitment or  participations
therein  as  permitted  hereunder  (provided  they  shall  agree  to  keep  such
information  confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section);  (c) as
required by any Governmental  Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to
legal  process;  (d) to the Agent's or such  Lender's  independent  auditors and
other professional advisors (provided they shall be notified of the confidential
nature  of the  information);  and  (e)  after  the  happening  and  during  the
continuance of an Event of Default,  to any other Person, in connection with the
exercise  by the Agent or the  Lenders of rights  hereunder  or under any of the
other Loan Documents.

         SECTION 12.12.  Counterparts; Integration.

         This  Agreement  may be signed in any number of  counterparts,  each of
which shall be an original,  with the same effect as if the  signatures  thereto
and hereto were upon the same  instrument.  This  Agreement,  together  with the
other Loan Documents,  constitutes the entire agreement and understanding  among
the  parties   hereto  and   supersedes   any  and  all  prior   agreements  and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

         SECTION 12.13.  Invalid Provisions.

         Any  provision of this  Agreement or any other Loan  Document held by a
court of competent  jurisdiction to be illegal,  invalid or unenforceable  shall
not invalidate the remaining provisions of such Loan Document which shall remain
in full  force and  effect  and the  effect  thereof  shall be  confined  to the
provision held invalid or illegal.

         SECTION 12.14.  No Novation.

         This  Agreement  and the other Loan  Documents  are being  amended  and
restated in their  entirety  for the  convenience  of the parties  hereto.  This
Agreement  and the other Loan  Documents  merely  amend,  modify and restate the
indebtedness,  liabilities and obligations  evidenced  hereby and thereby and do
not  constitute,  and it is the express  intent of the parties  hereto that this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents do not effect, a novation of the existing
indebtedness, liabilities and obligations incurred by the Borrower and the other
Loan  Parties  pursuant to the Existing  Credit  Agreement.  Such  indebtedness,
liabilities and obligations  continue to remain  outstanding and are amended and
modified only to the extent this  Agreement and the other Loan  Documents  amend
and modify  the  Existing  Credit  Agreement  and the  original  Loan  Documents
executed and delivered in connection therewith.


                            [Signatures on Next Page]





         IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the parties  hereto have caused this  Amended and
