The securities to which this statement relates are the Class B common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Class B Common Stock"), of America West Airlines Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and the Company's warrants to purchase shares of Class B Common Stock (the "Warrants", together with the Class B Common Stock, the "Shares"). The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 4000 West Sky Harbor Boulevard, Phoenix, AZ 85034. Item 2. Identity and Background. Item 2 is amended as follows: This statement is being filed by FMR Corp., a Massachusetts Corporation ("FMR"). FMR is a holding company one of whose principal assets is the capital stock of a wholly-owned subsidiary, Fidelity Management & Research Company ("Fidelity"), which is also a Massachusetts corporation. Fidelity is an investment advisor which is registered under Section 203 of the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 and which provides investment advisory services to more than 30 investment companies which are registered under Section 8 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and serves as investment advisor to certain other funds which are generally offered to limited groups of investors (the "Fidelity Funds"). Fidelity Management Trust Company ("FMTC"), a wholly- owned subsidiary of FMR Corp. and a bank as defined in Section 3(a)(6) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, serves as trustee or managing agent for various private investment accounts, primarily employee benefit plans and serves as investment advisor to certain other funds which are generally offered to limited groups of investors (the "Accounts"). Various directly or indirectly held subsidiaries of FMR are also engaged in investment management, venture capital asset management, securities brokerage, transfer and shareholder servicing and real estate development. The principal offices of FMR, Fidelity, and FMTC are located at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109. Members of the Edward C. Johnson 3d family are the predominant owners of Class B shares of common stock representing approximately 49% of the voting power of FMR. Mr. Johnson 3d owns 12.0% and Abigail Johnson owns 24.5% of the aggregate outstanding voting stock of FMR, and Mr. Johnson 3d is Chairman of FMR. The Johnson family group and all other Class B shareholders have entered into a shareholders' voting agreement under which all Class B shares will be voted in accordance with the majority vote of Class B shares. Accordingly, through their ownership of voting common stock and the execution of the shareholders' voting agreement, members of the Johnson family may be deemed, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, to form a controlling group with respect to FMR. The business address and principal occupation of Mr. Johnson 3d is set forth in Schedule A hereto. The Shares to which this statement relates are owned directly by sixteen of the Fidelity Funds, and thirteen of the Accounts. Belmont Capital Partners II, L.P. ("BelmontII") a Delaware limited partnership and one of the Accounts, directly owns 335,867 shares of the Class B Common Stock and 499,521 Warrants. Assuming exercise of all of the Warrants held by Belmont II, Belmont II would hold shares of Class B Common Stock representing approximately 1.82% of the issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock. The Warrants held by Belmont II represent approximately 4.76% of the outstanding Warrants. Belmont II is managed by a corporate general partner which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR. The name, residence or business address, principal occupation or employment and citizenship of each of the executive officers and directors of FMR are set forth in Schedule A hereto. Within the past five years, none of the persons named in this Item 2 or listed on Schedule A has been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or has been a party to any civil proceeding and as a result thereof was or is subject to any judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to federal or state securities laws or finding any violations with respect to such laws. Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. Item 3 is amended as follows: The Fidelity Funds received 2,511,462 shares of Class B Common Stock and 100,116 Warrants pursuant to the Company's Plan of Reorganization filed under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Plan"). Of these, 58,729 of the shares of Class B Common Stock were received in exchange for certain claims held against the Company prior to its reorganization ("Old AWA") (such number includes 5,097 Shares distributed as an adjustment under the Plan; such number may be subject to further adjustment under the Plan); 2,452,733 shares of Class B Common Stock and 100,116 Warrants were purchased for $20,818,652. Such cash purchases were made pursuant to a Subscription Agreement dated June 28, 1994, as amended August 23, 1994, (the "Subscription Agreement") which has been previously filed as an exhibit. The Fidelity Funds have purchased and sold Shares since receipt of the above described Shares. The attached Schedule B sets forth Shares purchased and/or sold since February 16, 1996. Except for Shares purchased on margin pursuant to typical customer margin agreements, the Fidelity Funds used their own assets in making such purchases and no part of the purchase price is represented by borrowed funds. The Accounts received 1,699,896 shares of Class B Common Stock and 556,651 Warrants pursuant to the Plan. Of these, 280,632 shares of Class B Common Stock were received in exchange for certain claims held against Old AWA (such number includes 24,356 shares distributed as an adjustment under the Plan; such number may be subject to further adjustment under the Plan); 601,686 shares of Class B Common Stock and 523,279 Warrants were received in exchange for common stock of Old AWA and preferred stock of Old AWA and $3,418,704 cash; 817,578 shares of Class B Common Stock and 33,372 Warrants were purchased for $6,939,552. The purchase of the 817,578 shares of Class B Common Stock and 33,372 Warrants were made by Belmont Fund, L.P. ("Belmont I"), a Bermuda limited partnership and one of the Accounts, pursuant to the Subscription Agreement. In addition, Belmont I used funds borrowed under a Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") to purchase Shares. A copy of the Credit Agreement is filed as an exhibit hereto and is hereby incorporated by reference. The Accounts have purchased and/or sold Shares since the receipt of the above described Shares. The attached Schedule B sets forth Shares purchased and/or sold since February 16, 1996. Except for Shares purchased on margin pursuant to typical customer margin agreements, the Accounts used their own assets in making such purchases and no part of the purchase price is represented by borrowed funds. On March 1, 1996, the Shares beneficially owned by the Fidelity Funds and the Accounts decreased by 202,500 Shares as a result of the event described in Item 5(c) below. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. Item 4 is amended as follows: As described in Item 3, certain of the Shares were acquired by the Fidelity Funds and Accounts through the exchange of equity securities of, and claims against, Old AWA. Other Shares were purchased by the Fidelity Funds and Accounts in pursuit of specified investment objectives established by the Board of Trustees of the Fidelity Funds and by the investors in the Accounts. The Fidelity Funds and Accounts hold the Shares for investment purposes. Fidelity and FMTC, respectively, may continue to have the Fidelity Funds and the Accounts purchase Shares subject to a number of factors, including, among others, the availability of Shares for sale at what they consider to be reasonable prices and other investment opportunities that may be available to the Fidelity Funds and Accounts. Fidelity and FMTC, respectively, intend to review continuously the equity position of the Fidelity Funds and Accounts in the Company. Depending upon future evaluations of the business prospects of the Company and upon other developments, including, but not limited to, general economic and business conditions and money market and stock market conditions, Fidelity may increase or decrease the equity interest in the Company by acquiring additional Shares or by disposing of all or a portion of the Shares. Neither Fidelity nor FMTC has any present plan or proposal which relates to or would result in (i) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization, liquidation, or sale of transfer of a material amount of assets involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) any change in the Company's present Board of Directors or management, (iii) any material changes in the Company's present capitalization or dividend policy or any other material change in the Company's business or corporate structure, (iv) any change in the Company's charter or by-laws, or (v) the Company's common stock becoming eligible for termination of its registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the 1934 Act. Item 5. Interest in Securities of Issuer. Item 5 is amended as follows: Although Item 5 assumes that FMR, Fidelity, and FMTC, beneficially own all 5,251,638 Shares, reference is made to Item 2 for a disclaimer of beneficial ownership with respect to the securities which are "beneficially owned" by the other corporations. (a) FMR beneficially owns, through Fidelity, as investment advisor to the Fidelity Funds, 3,465,000 Shares, or approximately 7.56% of the outstanding Shares of the Company, and through FMTC, the managing agent for the Accounts, 1,786,638 Shares, or approximately 3.83% of the outstanding Shares of the Company. The number of Shares held by the Fidelity Funds and the Accounts includes 518,893 Shares of common stock resulting from the assumed conversion of 518,893 principal amount of the Warrants (1 share of common stock for each Warrant). At the date hereof, Belmont II directly owns 335,867 shares of the Class B Common Stock and 499,521 Warrants. Assuming exercise of all of the Warrants held by Belmont II, Belmont II would beneficially own 835,388 shares of the Class B Common Stock, representing approximately 1.82% of the issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock. The Warrants beneficially owned by Belmont II represent approximately 4.76% of the outstanding Warrants. Neither FMR, Fidelity, FMTC, Edward C. Johnson 3d, nor any of its affiliates nor, to the best knowledge of FMR, any of the persons name in Schedule A hereto, beneficially owns any other Shares. The combined holdings of FMR, Fidelity, and FMTC, are 5,251,638 Shares, or approximately 11.45% of the outstanding Shares of the Company. (b) FMR, through its control of Fidelity, investment advisor to the Fidelity Funds, and the Fidelity Funds each has sole power to dispose of the Shares. Neither FMR nor Mr. Johnson has the sole power to vote or direct the voting of the 3,465,000 Shares owned directly by certain Fidelity Funds, which power resides with the Funds' Boards of Trustees. Fidelity carries out the voting of the Shares under written guidelines established by the Funds' Board of Trustees. FMR, through its control of FMTC, investment manager to the Accounts, and the Accounts each has sole dispositive power over 1,697,838 Shares and sole power to vote or to direct the voting of 1,786,638 Shares, and no power to vote or to direct the voting of 88,800 Shares owned by the Accounts. (c) On March 1, 1996, the reporting person's beneficial ownership of Shares decrease by 202,500 Shares as a result of (I) the termination of the reporting person's interest in one Account and a Fidelity Fund (a private investment partnership) and (ii) the termination of investment management agreements FMTC and Fidelity had with such Account and Fidelity Fund, respectively. (d) Except as set forth in Schedule B, neither FMR, or any of its affiliates, nor, to the best knowledge of FMR, any of the persons named in Schedule A hereto has effected any transaction in Shares during the past sixty (60) days. Item 6. Contract, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer. DDJ Capital Management, LLC or an affiliate of such Company ("DDJ"), provides investment advisory consulting services for FMTC's use in connection with FMTC's investment management of two Accounts. DDJ is not a direct or indirect subsidiary or affiliate of FMR Corp. or FMTC; DDJ has no shared or sole voting or dispositive power or any other investment discretion with respect to such securities or any other securities owned by Accounts managed by FMTC. Other than the margin agreements and the Credit Agreement described in Item 3 above and except as may otherwise be described herein, neither FMR nor any of its affiliates nor, to the best knowledge of FMR, any of the persons named in Schedule A hereto has any joint venture, finder's fee, or other contract or arrangement with any person with respect to any securities of the Company. As contemplated by the Plan, the Company, Belmont I, Belmont II and Copernicus, and certain other securityholders of the Company are parties to a Registration Rights Agreement dated August 25, 1994 obligating the Company to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, certain of the Shares. The Fidelity Funds and Accounts may from time to time own debt securities issued by the Company or its direct or indirect subsidiaries, and may from time to time purchase and/or sell such debt securities. $45,731,000 principal amount of the Company's 10 3/4% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2005 (the"Notes") beneficially owned by Copernicus are subject to a Master Repurchase Agreement (the "Repurchase Agreement") with Lehman Government Securities Inc. ("LGSI") pursuant to which the Notes purchased by Copernicus (the "Repurchase Notes") were sold to LGSI. The Repurchase Agreement is terminable upon demand by either party. During the term of the Repurchase Agreement, Copernicus is entitled to all interest or other payments with respect to the Repurchase Notes. Upon termination, Copernicus will be required to repurchase, and LGSI will be obligated to sell, the Repurchase Notes. The Funds and Accounts may from time to time own debt securities issued by the Company or its direct or indirect subsidiaries, and may from time to time purchase and/or sell such debt securitites.

Each such facility shall be divided into two separate portions, referred to respectively as the "M Portion" and the "NM Portion".

The NM Portion of the Loans shall be "indirectly secured", within the meaning of Regulation U, first, by Eligible Assets, and second, after the M Portion of the Loans are paid in full, by the Margin Stock in the Borrower's portfolio. Section 2.1. Commitment to Lend. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Bank severally agrees to make revolving loans (collectively as to all Banks, the "Revolving Loans") to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof to (but not including) the Commitment Expiry Date, as may be requested by the Borrower. Each Revolving Loan made by the Banks shall be in the principal amount stated in the applicable Loan Request, shall be in a minimum principal amount of at least $1,000,000 and an integral multiple of $100,000, and shall be allocated among the Banks ratably in proportion to their respective Commitment Amounts, provided that (i) at no time shall the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans made by any Bank exceed such Bank's Commitment Amount; (ii) at the time of such Revolving Loan, and after giving effect thereto, the M Portion of all outstanding Revolving Loans shall not exceed 50% of the current market value of the securities constituting Margin Stock in the Borrower's investment portfolio, as set forth on the schedule of portfolio securities delivered by the Borrower with the applicable Loan Request; (iii) at the time of such Revolving Loan, and after giving effect thereto, the NM Portion of all outstanding Revolving Loans shall not exceed 50% of the current market value of Eligible Assets, as set forth on the schedule of portfolio securities delivered by the Borrower with the applicable Loan Request; and (iv) at no time shall the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans made by all Banks exceed the Maximum Amount. Within the limits of the provisions of this Section 2.1, the Borrower may borrow, repay pursuant to Section 2.9 or prepay pursuant to Section 2.10(a) and reborrow under this Section 2.1(a) from time to time until the Commitment Expiry Date. (b) Subject to the terms hereof, each Bank will lend to the Borrower, on the Commitment Expiry Date, a term loan (collectively as to all Banks, the "Term Loans") that shall not exceed, in the aggregate principal amount, the lesser of (i) such Bank's Commitment Amount and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans made by such Bank then outstanding (it being understood that the proceeds of such Loans will be applied to the repayment in full of all such outstanding Revolving Loans); provided that (i) at the time of such Term Loan, and after giving effect thereto, the M Portion of all outstanding Term Loans shall not exceed 50% of the current market value of the securities constituting Margin Stock in the Borrower's investment portfolio, as set forth on the schedule of portfolio securities delivered by the Borrower with the applicable Loan Request; (ii) at the time of such Term Loan, and after giving effect thereto, the NM Portion of all outstanding Term Loans shall not exceed 50% of the current market value of Eligible Assets, as set forth on the schedule of portfolio securities delivered by the Borrower with the applicable Loan Request; and (iii) at no time shall the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Term Loans made by all Banks exceed the Maximum Amount. The Term Loans shall be payable in eight equal consecutive quarterly installments on the last day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the Commitment Expiry Date. (c) Provided that no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower may convert all or any part (in integral multiples of $1,000,000) pro rata among the Banks of any outstanding Loan into a Loan of any other type provided for in this Agreement in the same aggregate principal amount, on any Business Day (which, in the case of a conversion of a Eurodollar Loan, shall be the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan). The Borrower shall give the Agent prior notice of each such conversion (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) in accordance with Section 2.2. Section 2.2. Notice and Manner of Borrowing. All Revolving Loans shall be requested and funded in accordance with the procedures set forth below: (a) Loan Requests. Each request by the Borrower for the making, conversion or continuation of a Loan hereunder shall be made by telephonic notice to the Agent (a "Loan Request") prior to 11:30 a.m., Boston time, on the Borrowing Date, in the case of Base Rate Loans, and two days prior to the Borrowing Date, in the case of Eurodollar Loans. Each Loan Request shall be irrevocable and shall state (i) the principal amount of the requested Loan, (ii) the portion of such Loan that the Borrower designates as being borrowed under the M Portion of the facility; (iii) the portion of such Loan that the Borrower designates as being borrowed under the NM Portion of the facility; (iv) the interest rate to be applicable thereto, and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, (v) the Interest Period requested for such Loan (subject to the definition of Interest Period). Each Loan Request shall also state the maximum amount the Borrower is then permitted to borrow hereunder, determined in accordance with Section 2.1 and the definition of Maximum Amount. Each Loan Request shall be made by a duly authorized representative of the Borrower, as specified by the Borrower in writing from time to time, and the Agent may rely upon any telephone request that it reasonably believes is made by such a representative. The Agent shall promptly advise the Banks of the content of each such notice and, if an Interest Period of other than one, two, three or six months is requested, request the consent of each Bank to such Interest Period. Each Loan Request shall promptly be followed by a written confirmation thereof, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, provided that if such written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action of the Banks taken in good faith reliance upon such telephone request, the records of the Banks shall control absent manifest error. The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower if any Bank has refused to allow an alternative Interest Period, and the Borrower may thereafter modify its Loan Request to specify an Interest Period of the duration permitted herein. Each Loan Request made by the Borrower shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower to the Banks that (i) the Loan requested thereby is permitted under the Partnership Agreement; (ii) such Loan will not, when made, cause the aggregate indebtedness of the Borrower hereunder to exceed the Maximum Amount then in effect; (iii) such Loan will not, when made, cause the aggregate M Portions of all Loans hereunder to exceed 50% of the current market value of the securities constituting Margin Stock in the Borrower's investment portfolio; (iv) such Loan will not, when made, cause the aggregate NM Portions of all Loans hereunder to exceed 50% of the current market value of Eligible Assets; (v) the proceeds of such Loan will be used by the Borrower only in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.13 hereof; and (vi) all of the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in Section 4 hereof are true and correct on and as of the date of such Loan Request and the date of such Revolving Loan as though made on and as of such dates. (b) Funding the Loans. Not later than 2:00 p.m. (Boston, Massachusetts time) on the date of each Loan each Bank shall make available its pro rata share of such Loan in immediately available funds at the head office of the Agent in Boston, Massachusetts. The Agent shall thereafter deposit or wire the proceeds of such Loan, on the same day, in immediately available funds and at the Borrower's expense, to an account maintained on the Borrower's behalf by the Custodian in accordance with the wiring instructions set forth in Schedule II hereto, as amended and in effect from time to time. If any Bank makes a Loan hereunder on a day on which the Borrower is to repay all or any portion (including the repayment of any M Portion or any NM Portion, as contemplated in Section 2.10(d)) of an outstanding Loan from such Bank, such Bank shall apply the proceeds of its new Loan (or portion) to make such repayment and only an amount equal to the difference (if any) between the amount being borrowed and the amount being repaid shall be made available by such Bank to the Agent, as provided in this Section 2.1(b), or remitted to the Agent as provided in Section 2.9. Section 2.3. Loan Account. The Agent will maintain a separate account on its books for the Borrower (the "Loan Account") on which will be recorded, in accordance with the Agent's customary accounting practice, (a) all Loans made by the Banks to the Borrower and each Bank's pro rata share thereof, (b) all payments of such Loans made to the Banks, and (c) all other charges and expenses properly chargeable to the Borrower hereunder. The debit balance of the Loan Account shall reflect the amount of the Borrower's indebtedness from time to time to the Banks hereunder and, in the absence of manifest error, constitute conclusive evidence of the indebtedness of the Borrower to the Banks hereunder. Section 2.4. Reduction or Termination of Commitment Amounts. (a) Unless terminated earlier pursuant to the provisions of clauses (b) or (c) of this Section 2.4, or extended pursuant to clause (d), the Banks' several commitments to make Loans hereunder shall be in effect from the date of this Agreement through December 30, 1994. (b) Subject to Section 2.12 hereof, the Borrower may at any time on or prior to the Commitment Expiry Date, (i) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to the Agent and repaying in full all obligations of the Borrower hereunder; or (ii) reduce pro rata the Commitment Amounts in part in integral multiples of $1,000,000 by giving 30 Business Days' prior written notice thereof to the Agent and repaying the amount, if any, by which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans exceeds the then reduced Commitment Amounts. The Agent shall promptly advise the Banks of each such notice. Any such termination or reduction shall be accompanied by the payment of any fees referred to in Section 2.6 accrued to the date of such termination or reduction. Any such termination or reduction may be effected by the Borrower without penalty. No termination or reduction of the Commitment Amounts shall be subject to reinstatement. (c) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (unless waived pursuant to Section 16 hereof), the Banks may terminate their commitment to make Loans hereunder, in the manner contemplated in Section 18, by written notice to the Borrower, except as such written notice is not required by Section 6.1 hereof. (d) On any date occurring not later than 60 days prior to the then effective Commitment Expiry Date, the Borrower may request that the Banks extend such Commitment Expiry Date for an additional year, by written notice delivered to the Agent, which shall promptly notify the Banks thereof. If each Bank, in its sole discretion, shall agree to so extend such Commitment Expiry Date, such Bank shall so notify the Agent, which shall then notify the Borrower, not later than 30 days prior to such Commitment Expiry Date. If all Banks shall advise the Agent and the Borrower of their willingness to so extend such Commitment Expiry Date, then effective on such Commitment Expiry Date such Commitment Expiry Date shall thereupon be so extended for such additional year. During such extended period, the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect. (e) The date on which the Banks' several commitments to make Loans hereunder terminates or is terminated pursuant to this Section 2.4 is sometimes herein referred to as the "Commitment Expiry Date". Section 2.5. Repayment of Loans. (a) Each Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan shall mature and the principal amount thereof become due and payable in full on the Commitment Expiry Date. Each Revolving Loan that is a Eurodollar Loan shall mature and the principal amount thereof become due and payable on the last day of the applicable Interest Period. (b) The Term Loans shall become due and payable in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1(b). Section 2.6. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent the fees described in a letter agreement dated the date hereof. (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, for the account of the Banks, for the period commencing on the date this Agreement becomes effective and ending on the Commitment Expiry Date, a commitment fee computed at the rate of 1/4 of 1% per annum of the aggregate unused Commitment Amounts, such fee to be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the Commitment Expiry Date. Such commitment fee shall be pro-rated for any quarter or any part thereof after the termination of this Agreement by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.4(b) or by the Banks pursuant to Section 6.1. Section 2.7. Interest Rates and Payments of Interest. (a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate, which rate shall change contemporaneously with any change in the Base Rate. Such interest shall be payable on the last day of each month, commencing June 30, 1993, and when such Loan is due (whether at maturity, by reason of acceleration or otherwise). (b) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus one and one-half of one percent (1-1/2%). Such interest shall be payable for such Interest Period on the last day thereof and when such Eurodollar Loan is due (whether at maturity, by reason of acceleration or otherwise) and, if such Interest Period is longer than three months, at intervals of three months after the first day thereof. (c) Overdue principal and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) interest on each Loan and all other overdue amounts payable hereunder shall bear interest compounded monthly and payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to two percent above the greater of (i) the interest rate then in effect for such Loan and (ii) the Base Rate, until such amount shall be paid in full (whether before or after judgment). (d) No provision of this Agreement shall require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the rate then permitted by applicable law. Section 2.8 Changed Circumstances. (a) In the event that: (i) on any date on which the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate would otherwise be set the Agent shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the Interbank Offered Rate, or (ii) at any time the Agent shall have received notice that: (A) the making or continuation of or conversion of any Loan to a Eurodollar Loan by any Bank has been made impracticable or unlawful by (l) the occurrence of a contingency that materially and adversely affects the interbank Eurodollar market in which such Bank regularly participates or (2) compliance by any Bank in good faith with any applicable law or governmental regulation, guideline or order or interpretation or change thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or with any request or directive of any such governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law); or (B) the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate applicable to any proposed Eurodollar Loan shall not fairly and adequately reflect the cost of the Required Banks to fund such Loan; then, and in any such event, the Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower thereof. Until the Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer apply, the ability of the Borrower to select Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended. If at the time the Agent so notifies the Borrower, the Borrower has previously delivered a Loan Request for a Eurodollar Loan but such Loan has not yet gone into effect, such Loan Request shall be deemed to be void and the Borrower may borrow a Base Rate Loan by giving a substitute Loan Request pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof. Upon such date as shall be specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than the date such notice is given) the Borrower shall, with respect to outstanding Eurodollar Loans, prepay the same, together with interest thereon and any amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.12, and may borrow a Base Rate Loan by requesting such Loan in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof. (b) In case any law, regulation, treaty or official directive or the interpretation or application thereof by any court or by any governmental authority charged with the administration thereof or the compliance with any guideline or request of any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law): (i) subjects any Bank to any tax with respect to payments of principal or interest or any other amounts payable hereunder by the Borrower or otherwise with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (except for taxes on the overall net income of any Bank imposed by the United States of America or any political subdivision thereof), or (ii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any deposit insurance, reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, any Bank (other than such requirements as are already included in the determination of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate), or (iii) imposes upon any Bank any other condition with respect to its performance under this Agreement, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank, reduce the income receivable by such Bank or impose any expense upon such Bank with respect to any Loans, such Bank shall notify the Agent and the Agent shall notify the Borrower thereof. The Borrower agrees to pay to such Bank the amount of such increase in cost, reduction in income or additional expense as and when such cost, reduction or expense is incurred or determined, upon presentation by the affected Bank of a statement in the amount and setting forth such Bank's calculation thereof, which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error. Section 2.9. Place and Mode of Payments; Computations. (a) Each payment made or caused to be made by the Borrower to the Banks under this Agreement shall be made to the Agent for the account of the Banks in United States Dollars at the Agent's Head Office, not later than 2:00 p.m., Boston time, on the due date of each such payment, and in immediately available and freely transferable funds. (b) If any sum would, but for the provisions of this clause (b), become due and payable to the Banks by the Borrower on any day that is not a Business Day, then such sum shall become due and payable on the next succeeding Business Day, and interest payable to the Banks under this Agreement shall be adjusted accordingly. (c) All computations of interest and fees payable under this Agreement shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and paid for the actual number of days elapsed. (d) The Agent will determine the Base Rate in effect from time to time. Any change in the Base Rate shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, become effective on, and from the beginning of, the day on which such change shall first be announced or determined by the Agent in accordance with the Agent's customary banking practices. (e) Each payment by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction or withholding of any kind. (f) Whenever the Borrower makes a payment or prepayment of Loans hereunder, and to the extent it may reasonably do so, it shall identify the source of the funds used to effect such payment (i.e., whether from the sale or disposition of Margin Stock, the sale or liquidation of Eligible Assets, or otherwise); and the Agent shall apply such funds to the payment or prepayment of then outstanding Loans directly or indirectly secured by the assets in question (i.e., Loans constituting the M Portion or the NM Portion). In the absence of such identification, if the Agent is nevertheless aware of the source of funds, it shall apply such funds to the payment or prepayment of then outstanding Loans directly or indirectly secured by the assets in question. If the Agent is not aware of the source of funds, it may apply such funds to the payment or prepayment of such Loans as it in its sole discretion shall determine. (g) Unless the Agent shall have been notified by a Bank prior to the date on which such Bank is scheduled to make payment to the Agent of the proceeds of a Loan (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that such Bank does not intend to make such payment, the Agent may assume that such Bank has made such payment when due and the Agent may in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to) make available to the Borrower the proceeds of the Loan to be made by such Bank and, if any Bank has not in fact made such payment to the Agent, such Bank shall, on demand, pay to the Agent the amount made available to the Borrower attributable to such Bank together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was made available to the Borrower and ending on (but excluding) the date such Bank pays such amount to the Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. If such amount is not received from such Bank by the Agent immediately upon demand, the Borrower will, on demand, repay to the Agent the proceeds of the Loan attributable to such Bank with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan. Section 2.10. Optional Prepayments; Certain Mandatory Prepayments. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time to prepay any Loans, in whole or in part, upon telephonic notice to the Agent received prior to 12:00 noon (Boston, Massachusetts time), on the date such prepayment is to be made. The Agent shall promptly advise the Banks of such prepayment. Each such prepayment (except a prepayment in full) shall be made in an amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof. Eurodollar Loans may only be prepaid on the last day of the applicable Interest Period. (b) Upon any reduction of the Commitment Amounts pursuant to Section 2.4(b) hereof or otherwise, or if at any time the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Loans exceeds the aggregate outstanding Commitment Amounts, the Borrower agrees to immediately prepay the amount of such excess, together with any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 hereof. (c) If at any time the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Loans shall exceed the Maximum Amount, the Borrower shall immediately prepay the amount of such excess, together with any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 hereof. (d) If at any time (i) the sale or disposition of any Margin Stock would cause the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the M Portion of Loans to exceed 50% of the current market value of all Margin Stock in the Borrower's investment portfolio, or (ii) the sale or disposition of any Eligible Assets would cause the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the NM Portion of Loans to exceed 50% of the current market value of all Eligible Assets, the Borrower shall immediately prepay such excess portion of the M Portion or the NM Portion, as the case may be. Provided no Event of Default shall then have occurred, such prepayment may be effected by the simultaneous borrowing of Loans of the unaffected Portion, to the extent that the Borrower may do so in accordance with the limitations set forth in Section 2.1. (e) Upon each repayment or prepayment of any principal of any Loan pursuant to any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally promises to pay to the Banks, and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the date of each such repayment or prepayment, all of the unpaid interest accrued to such date on the amount of the principal of the Loan being repaid or prepaid on such date. Whenever any interest on and any principal of the Loans are paid simultaneously hereunder, the whole amount paid shall be applied first to interest then due and payable. Section 2.11. Increased Capital Requirements. If any law or any governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) or the interpretation thereof by a court or governmental authority with appropriate jurisdiction affects the amount of capital required to be maintained by any Bank or any corporation controlling any Bank and such Bank determines that the amount of capital required is increased by or based upon the existence of the credit facilities established hereunder or any Loans made pursuant hereto, and such increase has or would have effect of reducing the return on such Bank's equity to a level below that which such Bank could have achieved (taking into consideration such Bank's then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such Bank's capital) but for such law, rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive, then such Bank shall notify the Agent, in writing of such fact, and the Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, for the account of such Bank, the amount of such reduction as and when such reduction is determined, upon presentation by such Bank of a statement in the amount and setting forth such Bank's calculation thereof, which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error. In determining such amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. In this connection, such Bank shall allocate such costs among its customers in good faith and on an equitable basis. Section 2.12. Funding Losses. If the Borrower for any reason makes any payment of principal with respect to a Eurodollar Loan on any date other than the scheduled maturity thereof (other than a mandatory prepayment and simultaneous borrowing of a like amount made pursuant to Section 2.10(d)), or fails to borrow a Eurodollar Loan after giving a Loan Request therefor, the Borrower shall reimburse each Bank for any resulting loss or expense incurred by it, including without limitation any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing of deposits from third parties. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the account of each affected Bank, the amount of such loss or expense upon presentation of a statement in the amount thereof, which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error. Section 2.13. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of each Loan hereunder shall be used only to leverage the Borrower's portfolio in accordance with the Partnership Agreement and applicable law or regulation. Section 2.14. Collateral Security for Loans. As a condition precedent to making any Loan or continuing any Loan made hereunder, at any time after a change in the condition or affairs (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower reasonably deemed by the Required Banks to be adverse and material, the Agent may require the Borrower to pledge its portfolio securities and other assets (the "Pledged Securities") to the Agent, for the benefit of the Banks, as collateral for the Obligations, as contemplated in and subject to the terms and conditions of the Pledge Agreement. Upon demand by the Agent, the Borrower shall forthwith grant to the Agent, for the benefit of the Banks, a security interest in the Pledged Securities and deliver to the Agent a Pledge Agreement and Collateral Agency Agreement with respect to such Pledged Securities, and instruct the Custodian to take any action necessary under the Collateral Agency Agreement as the Agent may require to realize the full benefits of this Section 2.14 and the security interest described herein. Section 2.15. Pro Rata Treatment. (a) Each Loan shall be made, and each payment of commitment fee made to the Agent for the account of the Banks shall be distributed, pro rata to the Banks in the proportion that each Bank's Commitment Amount bears to the aggregate of all Banks' Commitment Amounts. Each payment and prepayment of Loans made to the Agent for the account of all of the Banks shall be distributed pro rata to the Banks in proportion to the respective amounts of the Loans outstanding immediately prior to such payment or prepayment. (b) Each reduction of the Commitment Amounts pursuant to Section 2.4 shall reduce the applicable Commitment Amount of each Bank pro rata in the proportion that each Bank's Commitment Amount bears to the aggregate of all Banks' Commitment Amounts immediately prior to such reduction. Section 3. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT. Section 3.1. Conditions of Closing. This Agreement shall become effective upon the receipt by the Agent, with copies for each Bank, of the following: (a) an executed original counterpart of this Agreement; (b) certified copies of any amendments to the Partnership Agreement and the Management Agreement since June 30, 1993; (c) certified copies of all documents relating to the due authorization and execution by the Borrower of this Agreement as the Agent may reasonably request, including, without limitation, all partnership actions taken by the Borrower authorizing (i) the execution and delivery by the Borrower of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) its performance of all of its agreements and obligations under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the borrowings and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (d) an incumbency certificate, dated the date hereof, signed by an authorized General Partner, setting forth the names and specimen signatures of each individual authorized to give notices, sign or act on behalf of the Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (e) certified copies of all documents relating to the General Partner executing this Agreement on behalf of the Borrower as the Agent may reasonably request, including, without limitation, all resolutions or other actions taken by the Borrower authorizing the execution and delivery by the General Partner on behalf of the Borrower of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (f) an incumbency certificate, dated the date hereof, signed by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the General Partner acting on behalf of the Borrower hereunder, setting forth the names and specimen signatures of each individual authorized to give notices, sign or act on behalf of the Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (g) good standing certificates from each of (i) Bermuda and (ii) Massachusetts with respect to the Borrower and each General Partner; (h) a duly completed and executed Federal Reserve Form U-1, describing all Margin Stock then held by the Borrower in its investment portfolio and all Eligible Assets, in the form required by such Form U-1; (i) an opinion from Judy K.

Section 4.5. Compliance with Other Instruments. The Borrower is in compliance with all investment policies and restrictions identified in the Partnership Agreement and is in compliance with all other provisions contained therein.

Section 4.6. Litigation. There are no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened actions, suits, investigations or proceedings at law or in equity before any federal, state, local or foreign court, governmental or regulatory authority, agency, commission, board, bureau or instrumentality, or board of arbitration, against or affecting the Borrower or its right, title and interest in or to any of its properties or assets.

The Borrower has set aside on its books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply.

Section 4.9. No Defaults. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Section 4.10. Disclosure.

Neither of such agreements nor this Agreement, the other Loan Documents nor any of the information concerning the Borrower submitted to the Banks in connection herewith or therewith contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which they are made. Except as disclosed herein or in the other Loan Documents, there is no fact known to the Borrower that adversely affects, or that, in the best judgment of the management of the Borrower, could in the future materially adversely affect, the assets, business, prospects, condition (financial or otherwise) or operations of the Borrower.

Each Bank agrees with the other Banks that (a) if an amount to be set off is to be applied to Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Bank other than the Obligations, such amount shall be applied first to the Obligations and the excess, if any, may be applied to such other Indebtedness and (b) if such Bank shall receive from the Borrower, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of the right of setoff, counterclaim, cross action, enforcement of the Obligations of the Borrower owed to such Bank by proceedings against the Borrower at law or in equity or by proof thereof in bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, receivership or similar proceedings, or otherwise, and shall retain and apply to the payment of the Obligations of the Borrower owed to such Bank any amount in excess of its ratable portion of the payments received by all Banks, such Bank will make such disposition and arrangement with the other Banks with respect to such excess, either by way of participation, distribution, assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise as shall result in each Bank's receiving in respect of the Obligations of the Borrower owed to it, its ratable portion; provided, however, that if all or any part of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Bank, such disposition and arrangements shall be rescinded and the amount restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

Section 9. SURVIVAL OF COVENANTS, ETC. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the other Loan Documents or in any documents or other papers delivered by, or on behalf of, the Borrower pursuant hereto shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the Banks, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by it, and shall survive the making by the Banks of the Loans, as herein contemplated, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any amount due under this Agreement remains outstanding and unpaid or any Bank has any obligation to make any Loans hereunder.

Should any claim be made by a person not a party to this Agreement with respect to any matter to which the foregoing indemnity relates, the affected Bank shall promptly notify the Agent, which shall forthwith notify the Borrower of any such claim, and the Borrower shall have the right to direct and control the defense of such claim or any litigation based thereon at its own expense through counsel of its own choosing, without becoming a party to such litigation.

(c) The Agent shall maintain at its head office in Boston, Massachusetts a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the name and address of each Bank, and the Commitment Amount of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Bank from time to time. The entries in such register shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error and the Borrower, the Agent, and the Banks may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Bank for all purposes of this Agreement. Such register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and the Banks, at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior notice. (d) Upon its receipt of a completed Assignment and Acceptance Agreement executed by an assigning Bank and an Assignee together with the processing and recordation fee referred to in subsection (b) above, the Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (ii) record the information contained therein in the register referred to in subsection (c) and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower. (e) Each Bank may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Agent, sell to one or more entities participations in all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitment Amount and the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such Bank's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Agent and such Bank shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Bank shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers with respect to the matters set forth in Section 18 requiring the consent of all of the Banks). (f) Each Bank may at any time pledge or assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Bank, and the Borrower agrees to issue to such Bank at such Bank's request a promissory note in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Bank to facilitate such pledge or assignment. No such pledge or assignment shall release such Bank from its obligations hereunder. Section 12. NOTICES, ETC.

The Borrower hereby waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such suit or any such court or that such suit was brought in an inconvenient court. Section 14. THE AGENT. Section 14.1. Appointment, Powers and Immunities. Each Bank hereby appoints and authorizes the Agent to act as its agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the authorization to enter into the Loan Documents as agent on behalf of the Banks and to bind the Banks to the terms thereof) with such powers as are specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent (which term as used in this sentence and in Section 14.4 hereof and the first sentence of Section 14.5 hereof shall include reference to its officers, directors, employees and agents): (i) shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall not by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document be a trustee for any Bank; (ii) shall not be responsible to the Banks for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties of the Borrower or any other Person contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document or in any certificate or other document received by any of them hereunder or thereunder, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure by the Borrower or any other person or entity to perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder, or for the satisfaction of any condition precedent specified in Section 3 hereof (except receipt of documents required to be delivered to the Agent hereunder); (iii) shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings hereunder or under any other Loan Document unless it shall have been so directed by the Required Banks; and (iv) shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith. The Agent may deem and treat each Bank as the party entitled to receive any amounts hereunder for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Agent. Section 14.2. Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certificate, notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telex, telegram or cable) reasonably and in good faith believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper person or entity, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder in accordance with instructions signed by the Required Banks, and such instructions of the Required Banks and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Banks. Section 14.3. Defaults. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default (other than the non-payment of principal of or interest on Loans or the non-payment of any fees payable hereunder) unless the Agent has received notice from a Bank or the Borrower specifying such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default". In the event that the Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Banks (and shall give each Bank prompt notice of each such non- payment). The Agent shall (subject to Sections 14.1 and 14.5 hereof) take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by the Required Banks; provided, however, that unless and until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Banks. Section 14.4. Indemnification. The Banks agree to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed under Section 10 hereof, but without limiting the obligations of the Borrower under said Section 10 hereof), ratably in accordance with the aggregate principal amount of the Loans made by the Banks (or, if no Loans are at the time outstanding, ratably in accordance with their respective Commitment Amounts), for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses which the Borrower is obligated to pay under Section 10 hereof) or thereby or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof, provided that no Bank shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent. Section 14.5. Agent and Affiliates. With respect to its Commitment Amount and the Loans made by it, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent; and the term "Bank" or "Banks" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include the Agent in its capacity as a Bank. [ ] shall have no duty to disclose to the other Banks any information obtained by it in its capacity as a Bank as opposed to any information obtained by it in its capacity as the Agent. [ ] and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower and any person or entity that may do business with or own securities of the Borrower, all as if [ ] were not the Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Banks. Section 14.6. Non-reliance on Agent. Each Bank (and each successor and assignee thereof) agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and evaluation of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and filings relating thereto, the manner of perfection of the security interest in any collateral provided hereunder and under the Pledge Agreement and its own decision to enter into the Loan Documents and make the Loans and that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. The Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrower of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or to inspect the properties or books of any party. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Banks by the Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Bank with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Borrower that may come into the possession of the Agent or any of its affiliates as a result of its or their independent dealings with the Borrower; provided that the Agent shall endeavor to provide the Banks with such other information as it may receive in its capacity as Agent hereunder. Section 14.7. Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of the Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document, the Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or thereunder unless it shall be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Banks against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Section 14.8. Resignation or Removal of Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, the Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrower; and the Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Banks. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower. If no such successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the Required Banks' removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor agent reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, which shall be a bank which has an office in the United States of America with a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After any retiring Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 14 shall continue in effect of its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Agent. Section 15. MISCELLANEOUS. The rights and remedies herein expressed are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights that the Banks or the Borrower, as the case may be, would otherwise have. The captions in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not define or limit the provisions hereof. This Agreement and any amendment hereof may be executed in several counterparts and by each party on a separate counterpart, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. In proving this Agreement, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. Section 16. SEVERABILITY. If any of the provisions of this Agreement or the application thereof to any party hereto or to any person or entity or circumstance is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision hereof or thereof or the application thereof to any other party hereto or to any other person or entity or circumstance. Section 17. ENTIRE AGREEMENT, ETC. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents and any other documents executed in connection herewith and therewith expresses the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally or in writing, except as provided in Section 18 hereof. Section 18. CONSENTS, AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS, ETC. (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement to be given by the Banks may be given, and any term of this Agreement or of any other instrument related hereto or mentioned herein may be amended, and the performance or observance by the Borrower of any terms of this Agreement or such other instrument or the continuance of any Default or Event of Default or any condition or term hereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Borrower and the written consent of the Agent or the requisite number of Banks, as provided in the immediately following sentence. The Agent shall not, without the prior written consent of the Required Banks, agree to the modification, amendment, waiver or release of any of the terms of this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Collateral Agency Agreement or the Obligations, or any other document relative thereto, to consent to any action or failure to act by the Borrower, and to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights which the Lenders may have under or in respect of this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Collateral Agency Agreement or the Obligations or any collateral therefor, including, without limitation, the right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower or any other party; provided that the Agent shall not, without the prior written consent of the all of the Banks, agree (i) to increase the Commitment Amounts; (ii) to reduce or forgive the principal of or reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan; (iii) to reduce any fee payable under this Agreement or release any collateral granted or to be granted in respect of the Obligations; (iv) to any amendment, modification or waiver of the definition of "Required Banks", Section 2.8(b), 2.11, 2.12, 2.15, 7 or this Section 18; or (v) to agree to permit the Borrower to change in any material manner its operations or any material provision of the Management Agreement or the Partnership Agreement; and provided, further that the Agent's consent shall be required for any such modification, waiver, release or amendment that would affect the rights and liabilities of the Agent. The Agent shall be fully protected in refraining from acting in accordance with, and each Lender shall be bound by, the withholding of consent by the Banks or Required Banks, as applicable. (b) 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 the Agent or any Bank in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. No notice to the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to other or further notice in similar or other circumstances. Section 19. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE BANKS AND THE BORROWER AGREE THAT NONE OF THEM NOR ANY ASSIGNEE OR SUCCESSOR SHALL (A) SEEK A JURY TRIAL IN ANY LAWSUIT, PROCEEDING, COUNTERCLAIM OR ANY OTHER ACTION BASED UPON, OR ARISING OUT OF, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE DEALINGS OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THEM, OR (B) SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN FULLY DISCUSSED BY THE BANKS AND THE BORROWER, AND THESE PROVISIONS SHALL BE SUBJECT TO NO EXCEPTIONS. NEITHER ANY BANK NOR THE BORROWER HAS AGREED WITH OR REPRESENTED TO THE OTHER THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION WILL NOT BE FULLY ENFORCED IN ALL INSTANCES.
