 Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

(the “Operating Partnership”), the subsidiary through which we own our assets and conduct our business, entered into a Note Purchase Agreement dated as of November 15, 2004 (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with The Travelers Insurance Company, The Travelers Life and Annuity Company, Citicorp Insurance and Investment Trust, First Citicorp Life Insurance Company, General Electric Capital Assurance Company, Union Fidelity Life Insurance Company, GE Reinsurance Corporation, Medical Protective Company, Federal Home Life Insurance Company, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, Metropolitan Tower Life Insurance Company, Metropolitan Investors U.S.A. Insurance Company, New England Life Insurance Company and Pacific Life Insurance Company (collectively, the “Purchasers”). Under the Note Purchase Agreement, the Operating Partnership has agreed to sell to the Purchasers its unsecured notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $113 million. The Notes will bear interest from their date of issuance at the rate of 4.34% per annum, payable semi-annually on each June 14 and December 14, and will mature on December 14, 2008. The Notes do not provide for scheduled principal amortization prior to the maturity date. We and certain of the wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership will fully and unconditionally guarantee the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes. The Note Purchase Agreement contains a various affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit our incurrence of additional indebtedness. The Operating Partnership intends to use the proceeds of the Notes to repay in full the $113 million term loan credit agreement (2008) that became effective as of September 21, 2004 by and among us, the Operating Partnership, certain subsidiaries directly or indirectly wholly-owned by the Operating Partnership, Bear Stearns Corporate Lending Inc., as administrative agent and as a lender, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as syndication agent and as a lender (a copy of which is attached as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on September 21, 2004). Upon such repayment, the term loan credit agreement (2008) will be terminated.

     Funding under the Note Purchase Agreement, including the issuance of the Notes, is scheduled to occur on or about December 14, 2004. The funding is subject to customary conditions.

Neither Constituent Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor nor anyone acting on their behalf has taken, or will take, any action that would subject the issuance or sale of the Notes, the Guaranty set forth in Section 12 or the execution and delivery of the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement to the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act or to the registration requirements of any Securities or blue sky laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

     Section 6.14     Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations.

21

     “Called Principal” shall mean, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 9.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 14.1, as the context requires.

     “Discounted Value” shall mean, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

     “Reinvestment Yield” shall mean, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, 0.50% over the yield to maturity implied by (a) the yields reported, as of 10:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1 on Bloomberg Financial Markets (“Bloomberg”) or, if Page PX1 (or its successor screen on Bloomberg) is unavailable, the Telerate Access Service screen which corresponds most closely to Page PX1 for the most recently issued actively traded U.S. Treasury Securities having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date, or (b) if such yields are not reported as of such time or the yields reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), the Treasury Constant Maturity Series Yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) (or any comparable successor publication) for actively traded U.S. Treasury Securities having a constant maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. Such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by (1) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond-equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (2) interpolating linearly between (i) the actively traded U.S. Treasury Security with the maturity closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (ii) the actively traded U.S. Treasury Security with the maturity closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

     “Remaining Average Life” shall mean, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) obtained by dividing (a) such Called Principal into (b) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (1) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (2) the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

     “Remaining Scheduled Payments” shall mean, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the terms of the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 9.2 or Section 14.1.

22

     “Settlement Date” shall mean, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 9.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 14.1, as the context requires.

SECTION 12.     GUARANTY.

     Section 12.1     The Guaranty.

The Parent Guarantor further agrees (to the extent permitted by applicable law) that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from it, and that it shall remain bound under this Section 12 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation.

     Section 12.2     Waiver of Defenses. The Parent Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Issuer of any of the Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. The Parent Guarantor waives notice of any default under this Agreement, the Notes or the Obligations.

     Section 12.3     Guaranty of Payment. The Parent Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranty herein constitutes a guaranty of payment when due (and not a guaranty of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any holder of the Notes to any other Person or to any security held for payment of the Obligations.

30

     Section 12.4     Guaranty Unconditional. The obligations of the Parent Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Parent Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any holder of the Notes to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement, the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement, the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Parent Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of the Parent Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

     Section 12.5     Reinstatement. The Parent Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranty herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, or interest on any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any holder of the Notes upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise.

     Section 12.6     Payment on Demand. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any holder of the Notes has at law or in equity against the Parent Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuer to pay any of the Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, the Parent Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by any holder of the Notes, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the holders an amount equal to the sum of (a) the unpaid amount of such Obligations then due and owing and (b) accrued and unpaid interest on such Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by applicable law).

     Section 12.7     Stay of Acceleration. The Parent Guarantor further agrees that, as between itself, on the one hand, and the holders of the Notes, on the other hand, (a) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Agreement for the purposes of the Guaranty herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereby and (b) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Obligations, such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Parent Guarantor for the purposes of this Guaranty.

     Section 12.8     Costs of Enforcement. The Parent Guarantor agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the holders of the Notes in enforcing any rights under this Section 12.

31

     Section 12.9     No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the Parent Guarantor hereunder, the Parent Guarantor shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of any holder of the Notes against the Issuer or any collateral security or guaranty or right of offset held by any holder for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall the Parent Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of payments made by the Parent Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the holders of the Notes by the Issuer on account of the Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to the Parent Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by the Parent Guarantor in trust for the holders of the Notes, segregated from other funds of the Parent Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the Parent Guarantor, be turned over to the holders of the Notes in the exact form received by the Parent Guarantor (duly indorsed by the Parent Guarantor to the holders of the Notes, if required), to be applied against the Obligations.

     Section 12.10     Marshalling. No holder of the Notes shall be under any obligation: (a) to marshal any assets in favor of the Parent Guarantor or in payment of any or all of the liabilities of the Issuer under or in respect of the Notes and this Agreement or the obligations of the Parent Guarantor hereunder or (b) to pursue any other remedy that the Parent Guarantor may or may not be able to pursue itself and that may lighten the Parent Guarantor’s burden, any right to which the Parent Guarantor hereby expressly waives.

SECTION 14.     REMEDIES ON DEFAULT, ETC.

     Section 14.1     Acceleration. (a) If an Event of Default with respect to a Constituent Company described in Section 13(g) or (h) (other than an Event of Default described in clause (1) of Section 13(g) or described in clause (6) of Section 13(g) by virtue of the fact that such clause encompasses clause (1) of Section 13(g)) has occurred, all the Notes then outstanding shall automatically become immediately due and payable.

     (c)     If any Event of Default described in Section 13(a) or (b) has occurred and is continuing, any holder or holders of Notes at the time outstanding affected by such Event of Default may at any time, at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Issuer, declare all the Notes held by it or them to be immediately due and payable.

     Upon any Notes becoming due and payable under this Section 14.1, whether automatically or by declaration, such Notes will forthwith mature and the entire unpaid principal amount of such Notes, plus (1) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including, but not limited to, interest accrued thereon at the Default Rate) and (2) the Make-Whole Amount, if any, determined in respect of such principal amount (to the full extent permitted by applicable law), shall all be immediately due and payable, in each and every case without presentment, demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived. The Issuer acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has the right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment by the Issuer (except as herein specifically provided for), and that the provision for payment of a Make-Whole Amount by the Issuer in the event that the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances.

If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become or have been declared immediately due and payable under Section 14.1, the holder of any Note at the time outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any Note, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise.

     Section 14.3     Rescission. At any time after any Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 14.1(b) or (c), the Required Holders, by written notice to the Issuer, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Issuer has paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of and Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and Make-Whole Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at the Default Rate, (b) neither the Issuer nor any other Person shall have paid any amounts which have become due solely by reason of such declaration, (c) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 19 and (d) no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of any monies due pursuant hereto or to the Notes.

35

     Section 14.4     No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, Etc.

No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement, by the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement or by any Note upon any holder thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Constituent Companies under Section 17, the Issuer will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such holder incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 14, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements.

	(b)     in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof,

The Issuer will afford the benefits of this Section 16.2 to any Significant Holder that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Note purchased by a Purchaser under this Agreement and that has made the same agreement relating to such Note as the Purchasers have made in this Section 16.2.

No course of dealing between a Constituent Company and the holder of any Note nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder, under the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement or under any Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any holder of such Note. As used herein, the term “this Agreement” and references thereto shall mean this Agreement as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented.

39

     Section 19.4     Notes Held by Constituent Company, Etc. Solely for the purpose of determining whether the holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Agreement, the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement or the Notes, or have directed the taking of any action provided herein or in the Notes to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, Notes directly or indirectly owned by a Constituent Company or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding.

SECTION 20.     NOTICES.

     All notices and communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and sent (a) by telecopy if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such notice by a recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), or (b) by registered or certified mail with return receipt requested (postage prepaid) or (c) by a recognized overnight delivery service (with charges prepaid). Any such notice must be sent:

     (1)     if to any Purchaser or its nominee, to such Purchaser or nominee at the address specified for such communications in Schedule A, or at such other address as such Purchaser or its nominee shall have specified to the Constituent Companies in writing,

     (2)     if to any other holder of any Note, to such holder at such address as such other holder shall have specified to the Constituent Companies in writing, or

     (3)     if to a Constituent Company, to such Constituent Company at its address set forth at the beginning hereof to the attention of Chief Financial Officer, or at such other address as such Constituent Company shall have specified to the holder of each Note in writing.

Notices under this Section 20 will be deemed given only when actually received.

SECTION 21.     REPRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS.

     This Agreement and all documents relating hereto, including, without limitation, (a) consents, waivers and modifications that may hereafter be executed, (b) documents received by any Purchaser at the Closing or on the Funding Date (except the Notes themselves), and (c) financial statements, certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished to any holder of the Notes, may be reproduced by such holder by any photographic, photostatic, electronic, digital or other similar process and such holder may destroy any original document so reproduced. Each Constituent Company agrees and stipulates that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by such holder of the Notes in the regular course of business) and any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence. This Section 21 shall not prohibit the Constituent Companies or any other holder of Notes from contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction.

40

SECTION 22.     CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

     For the purposes of this Section 22, “Confidential Information” shall mean information delivered to any Purchaser by or on behalf of a Constituent Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is proprietary in nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received by such Purchaser as being confidential information of such Constituent Company or such Subsidiary, provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Purchaser or any Person acting on such Purchaser’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser other than through disclosure by a Constituent Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser under Section 8.1 that are otherwise publicly available. Each Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by such Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such Purchaser, provided that such Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (1) its directors, officers, trustees, employees, agents, attorneys and Affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by its Notes), (2) its financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Section 22, (3) any other holder of any Note, (4) any Significant Holder to which such Purchaser sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 22), (5) any Person from which such Purchaser offers to purchase any Security of the Issuer (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 22), (6) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser, (7) the NAIC or the SVO or, in each case, any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Purchaser’s investment portfolio or (8) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (i) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser, (ii) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (iii) in connection with any litigation to which such Purchaser is a party or (iv) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under such Purchaser’s Notes, this Agreement or the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 22 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by a Constituent Company in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Constituent Companies embodying the provisions of this Section 22.

41

SECTION 23.     SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASER.

     Each Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates that is a Qualified Institutional Buyer as the purchaser of the Notes that such Purchaser has agreed to purchase hereunder, by written notice to the Constituent Companies, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser and such Affiliate, shall contain such Affiliate’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Affiliate of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 7. Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Section 23), shall be deemed to refer to such Affiliate in lieu of such original Purchaser. In the event that such Affiliate is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder and such Affiliate thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Affiliate, upon receipt by the Constituent Companies of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Affiliate as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 23), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Affiliate, but shall refer to such original Purchaser, and such original Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement.

SECTION 24.     MISCELLANEOUS.

     Section 24.1     Successors and Assigns. All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any subsequent holder of a Note) whether so expressed or not.

     Section 24.2     Payments Due on Non-Business Days. Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding (but without limiting the requirement in Section 9.4 that the notice of any optional prepayment specify a Business Day as the date fixed for such prepayment), any payment of principal of, or Make-Whole Amount, if any, or interest on any Note that is due on a date other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day; provided that if the maturity date of any Note is a date other than a Business Day, the payment otherwise due on such maturity date shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.

     Section 24.3     Accounting Terms. All accounting terms used herein which are not expressly defined in this Agreement have the meanings respectively given to them in accordance with GAAP. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, (a) all computations made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in accordance with GAAP and (b) all financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP.

42

     Section 24.4     Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

     Section 24.5     Construction, Etc. Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.

     For the avoidance of doubt, all Schedules and Exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be deemed to be a part hereof.

     Section 24.6     Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto.

     Section 24.7     Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that would permit the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.

     Section 24.8     Jurisdiction and Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.

     (a)     Each Constituent Company irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Constituent Company irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

     (b)     Each Constituent Company consents to process being served by or on behalf of any holder of Notes in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 24.8(a) by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to it at its address specified in Section 20 or at such other address of which such holder shall then have been notified pursuant to said Section. Each Constituent Company agrees that such service upon receipt (1) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (2) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it. Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service.

43

     (c)     Nothing in this Section 24.8 shall affect the right of any holder of a Note to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the holders of any of the Notes may have to bring proceedings against a Constituent Company in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.

     (d)     THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH.

* * * * *

     The execution hereof by the Purchasers shall constitute a contract among the Constituent Companies and the Purchasers for the use and purposes hereinabove set forth.

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY AGREEMENT

Re:    $113,000,000 4.34% Senior Notes due December 14, 2008
of
Brandywine Operating Partnership, L.P.

     This Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement dated as of December 14, 2004 (this “Guaranty”) is entered into on a joint and several basis by each of the undersigned, together with any entity that may become a party hereto by execution and delivery of a Guaranty Supplement in substantially the form set forth as Exhibit A hereto (a “Guaranty Supplement”) (which parties, for so long as they remain obligated hereunder, are hereinafter referred to individually as a “Guarantor” and collectively as the “Guarantors”).

RECITALS

     A. Each Guarantor is (1) a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Brandywine Operating Partnership, L.P., a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Issuer”; the Issuer and Brandywine Realty Trust, a real estate investment trust organized under the laws of the State of Maryland (the “Parent Guarantor”) are collectively referred to herein as the “Constituent Companies”) or (2) a direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Issuer the ownership of which is described on Schedule 1 hereto.

     B. The Constituent Companies have entered into a Note Purchase Agreement dated as of November 15, 2004 (as the same may be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Note Purchase Agreement”) among the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor and each of the institutional investors named on Schedule A attached to said Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchasers”), providing for, among other things, the issue and sale by the Issuer to the Note Purchasers of $113,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.34% Senior Notes due December 14, 2008 (the “Notes”). The Note Purchasers together with their respective successors and assigns are collectively referred to herein as the “Holders.”

     C. The Note Purchasers have required as a condition of their purchase of the Notes that the Constituent Companies cause each of the undersigned to enter into this Guaranty and, as set forth in Section 10.8(a)(1) of the Note Purchase Agreement, to cause each Subsidiary that becomes a co-obligor or guarantor of any obligations existing under the Bank Credit Agreement or the Indenture (each as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) to enter into a Guaranty Supplement, and the Constituent Companies have agreed to cause each of the undersigned to execute this Guaranty and to cause each Subsidiary that becomes a co-obligor or guarantor of any obligations under the Bank Credit Agreement or the Indenture to execute a Guaranty Supplement, in each case in order to induce the Note Purchasers to purchase the Notes and thereby benefit the Constituent Companies and their Subsidiaries by providing funds to the Issuer for the purposes described in Section 6.14 of the Note Purchase Agreement.

     Now, therefore, as required by Section 5.4(a) of the Note Purchase Agreement and in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency whereof are hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor does hereby covenant and agree, jointly and severally, as follows:

SECTION 1.     DEFINITIONS.

     Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement unless otherwise defined herein.

SECTION 2.     GUARANTY.

     (a) Each Guarantor jointly and severally hereby fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, to each Holder the full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest (including any interest accruing after the commencement of any proceeding in bankruptcy and any additional interest that would accrue but for the commencement of such proceeding) on the Notes and all other obligations of the Issuer under the Note Purchase Agreement (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Obligations”). Each Guarantor further agrees (to the extent permitted by applicable law) that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from it, and that it shall remain bound under this Guaranty notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation.

     (b) To the extent that any Guarantor shall make a payment hereunder (a “Payment”) which, taking into account all other Payments previously or concurrently made by any of the other Guarantors, exceeds the amount which such Guarantor would otherwise have paid if each Guarantor had paid the aggregate obligations satisfied by such Payment in the same proportion as such Guarantor’s “Allocable Amount” (as hereinafter defined) in effect immediately prior to such Payment bore to the Aggregate Allocable Amount (as hereinafter defined) of all of the Guarantors in effect immediately prior to the making of such Payment, then such Guarantor shall be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, each of the other Guarantors for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Payment; provided that each Guarantor covenants and agrees that such right of contribution and indemnification and any and all claims of such Guarantor against any other Guarantor, any endorser or against any of their property shall be junior and subordinate in right of payment to the prior indefeasible final payment in cash in full of all of the Notes and satisfaction by the Issuer of its obligations under the Note Purchase Agreement and by the Guarantors of their obligations under this Guaranty and the Guarantors shall not take any action to enforce such right of contribution and indemnification, and the Guarantors shall not accept any payment in respect of such right of contribution and indemnification, until all of the Notes and all amounts payable by the Guarantors hereunder have indefeasibly been finally paid in cash in full and all of the obligations of the Issuer under the Note Purchase Agreement and of the Guarantors under this Guaranty have been satisfied

     As of any date of determination, (1) the “Allocable Amount” of any Guarantor shall be equal to the maximum amount which could then be claimed by the Holders under this Guaranty without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. Sec. 101 et. seq.) or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law; and (2) the “Aggregate Allocable Amount” shall be equal to the sum of each Guarantor’s Allocable Amount.

-2-

     This clause (b) is intended only to define the relative rights of the Guarantors, and nothing set forth in this clause (b) is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Guarantors, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts to the Holders as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance herewith.

     Each Guarantor acknowledges that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of any Guarantor to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.

SECTION 3.     WAIVER OF DEFENSES.

     Each Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Issuer of any of the Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Note Purchase Agreement, the Notes, any other agreement or the Obligations. The obligation of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Issuer or any other Person under the Note Purchase Agreement, this Guaranty, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement, this Guaranty, the Notes or any other agreement; (d) the release of any security held by any Holder for the Obligations or any of them or (e) any change in the ownership of the Issuer.

SECTION 4.     GUARANTY OF PAYMENT.

     Each Guarantor further agrees that this Guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment when due (and not a guaranty of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder to any other Person or to any security held for payment of the Obligations.

SECTION 5.     GUARANTY UNCONDITIONAL.

     The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under the Note Purchase Agreement, this Guaranty, the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

-3-

SECTION 6.     REINSTATEMENT.

     Each Guarantor further agrees that this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, or interest on any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise.

SECTION 7.     PAYMENT ON DEMAND.

     In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuer to pay any of the Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, the Guarantors hereby promise to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by any holder of the Notes, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the holders an amount equal to the sum of (a) the unpaid amount of such Obligations then due and owing and (b) accrued and unpaid interest on such Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by applicable law).

SECTION 8.     STAY OF ACCELERATION.

     Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between itself, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, (a) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in the Note Purchase Agreement for the purposes of this Guaranty, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereby and (b) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Obligations, such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purposes of this Guaranty.

SECTION 9.     COSTS OF ENFORCEMENT.

     Each Guarantor agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty.

SECTION 10.     NO SUBROGATION.

     Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by a Guarantor hereunder, such Guarantor shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of any Holder against the Issuer or any collateral security or guaranty or right of offset held by any Holder for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall such Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Issuer or any other guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Holders by the Issuer on account of the Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to a Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the holders of the Notes, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Holders in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Holders, if required), to be applied against the Obligations.

-4-

SECTION 11.     MARSHALLING.

     No Holder shall be under any obligation: (a) to marshal any assets in favor of any Guarantor or in payment of any or all of the liabilities of the Issuer under or in respect of the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder or (b) to pursue any other remedy that a Guarantor may or may not be able to pursue itself and that may lighten any Guarantor’s burden, any right to which each Guarantor hereby expressly waives.

SECTION 12.     CONSIDERATION.

     Each Guarantor has received, or shall receive, direct or indirect benefits from the making of this Guaranty.

SECTION 13.     REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE GUARANTORS.

     Each Guarantor represents and warrants to each Holder that:

     (a)    Such Guarantor is a corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership or other legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership or other legal entity and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on (1) the business, operations, affairs, financial condition, assets or properties of the Issuer and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (2) the ability of such Guarantor to perform its obligations under this Guaranty or (3) the validity or enforceability of this Guaranty (herein in this Section 13, a “Material Adverse Effect”). Such Guarantor has the corporate, limited liability company, limited partnership or other power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease, to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact, to execute and deliver this Guaranty and to perform the provisions hereof.

     (b)    Each subsidiary of such Guarantor is a corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership or other legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership or other legal entity and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each subsidiary of such Guarantor has the corporate, limited liability company, limited partnership or other power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease and to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact.

     (c)    This Guaranty has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such Guarantor, and this Guaranty constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (1) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (2) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

-5-

     (d)    The execution, delivery and performance by such Guarantor of this Guaranty will not (1) contravene, result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any Lien in respect of any property of such Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan, purchase or credit agreement, lease, organizational document or any other agreement or instrument to which such Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries is bound or by which such Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties may be bound or affected, (2) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree, or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to such Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries or (3) violate any provision of any statute or other rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to such Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries.

     (e)    No consent, approval or authorization of, or registration, filing or declaration with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by such Guarantor of this Guaranty.

     (f)    Neither such Guarantor nor any of its subsidiaries is subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended, the ICC Termination Act of 1995, as amended, or the Federal Power Act, as amended.

     (g)    Such Guarantor is solvent, has capital not unreasonably small in relation to its business or any contemplated or undertaken transaction and has assets having a value both at fair valuation and at present fair salable value greater than the amount required to pay its debts as they become due and greater than the amount that will be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts as they become absolute and matured. Such Guarantor does not intend to incur, or believe or should have believed that it will incur, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they become due. Such Guarantor will not be rendered insolvent by the execution and delivery of, and performance of its obligations under, this Guaranty. Such Guarantor does not intend to hinder, delay or defraud its creditors by or through the execution and delivery of, or performance of its obligations under, this Guaranty.

     (h)    The obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty rank at least pari passu in right of payment with all other unsecured Indebtedness (actual or contingent) of such Guarantor that is not expressed to be subordinate or junior in rank to any other unsecured Indebtedness of such Guarantor including, without limitation, all obligations of such Guarantor under any guaranty of Indebtedness of any other Person.

SECTION 14.     AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS AND CONSENTS.

     (a)     This Guaranty may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), with (and only with) the written consent of each Guarantor and the Required Holders, except that (1) no amendment or waiver of any of the provisions of Sections 3 through 13, inclusive, or any defined term (as it is used therein), will be effective as to any Holder unless consented to by such Holder in writing, and (2) no such amendment or waiver may, without the written consent of each Holder, (i) change the percentage of the principal amount of the Notes the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or waiver or (ii) amend Section 2 or this Section 14. No consent of the Holders or the Guarantors shall be required in connection with the execution and delivery of a Guaranty Supplement or other addition of any additional Guarantor, and each Guarantor, by its execution and delivery of this Guaranty (or Guaranty Supplement) consents to the addition of each additional Guarantor. Upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Section 10.8(b) of the Note Purchase Agreement (including without limitation receipt by the Holders of the Officer’s Certificate described in such Section 10.8(b)) with respect to any Guarantor, such Guarantor shall be automatically deemed discharged from its obligations hereunder, without any consent or other action by any of the Holder, the Guarantors or the Constituent Companies and shall no longer constitute a “Guarantor” hereunder.

-6-

     (b)    The Guarantors will provide each Holder (irrespective of the amount of Notes then owned by it) with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to enable such Holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof. The Guarantors will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 14 to each Holder promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite Holders. The Guarantors will deliver executed copies of each executed Guaranty Supplement to each Holder promptly following the date on which it is executed.

     (c)    No Guarantor will directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of fee or otherwise, or grant any security, to any Holder as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by such Holder of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted, on the same terms, ratably to each Holder even if such Holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment.

     (d)    Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 14 applies equally to all Holders of Notes affected thereby and is binding upon them and upon each future holder and upon the Guarantors. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant or agreement not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between the Guarantors and any Holder nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any Holder. As used herein, the term “this Guaranty” and references thereto shall mean this Guaranty as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented.

     (e)    Solely for the purpose of determining whether the Holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Guaranty, Notes directly or indirectly owned by any Guarantor, the Issuer or any of their respective subsidiaries or Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding.

-7-

SECTION 15.     NOTICES.

     All notices and communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and sent (a) by telefacsimile if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such notice by a recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), (b) by registered or certified mail with return receipt requested (postage prepaid) or (c) by a recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid). Any such notice must be sent:

     (1)    if to a Note Purchaser or its nominee, to such Note Purchaser or its nominee at the address specified for such communications in Schedule A to the Note Purchase Agreement, or at such other address as such Note Purchaser or its nominee shall have specified to any Guarantor or the Issuer in writing,

     (2)    if to any other Holder, to such Holder at such address as such Holder shall have specified to any Guarantor or the Issuer in writing, or

     (3)    if to any Guarantor, to such Guarantor c/o the Issuer at its address set forth at the beginning of the Note Purchase Agreement to the attention of the Chief Financial Officer, or at such other address as such Guarantor shall have specified to the Holders in writing.

Notices under this Section 15 will be deemed given only when actually received.

SECTION 16.     MISCELLANEOUS.

     (a)    No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to any Holder is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Guaranty now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default, omission or failure of performance hereunder shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof but any such right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle any Holder to exercise any remedy reserved to it under this Guaranty, it shall not be necessary for such Holder to physically produce its Note in any proceedings instituted by it or to give any notice, other than such notice as may be herein expressly required.

     (b)    The Guarantors will pay all sums becoming due under this Guaranty by the method and at the address specified for such purpose for such Holder, in the case of a Holder that is a Note Purchaser, on Schedule A to the Note Purchase Agreement or by such other method or at such other address as any Holder shall have from time to time specified to the Guarantors or the Issuer on behalf of the Guarantors in writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of this Guaranty or any Note.

     (c)    Any provision of this Guaranty that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

-8-

     (d)    If the whole or any part of this Guaranty shall be now or hereafter become unenforceable against any one or more of the Guarantors for any reason whatsoever or if it is not executed by any one or more of the Guarantors, this Guaranty shall nevertheless be and remain fully binding upon and enforceable against each other Guarantor as if it had been made and delivered only by such other Guarantors.

     (e)    This Guaranty shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder and its successors and assigns so long as its Notes remain outstanding and unpaid. If any Guarantor enters into any consolidation or merger, pursuant to which such Guarantor is not the surviving entity (the “Successor Corporation”), the Successor Corporation, if not already a Guarantor, shall execute and deliver to each Holder its assumption of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition of this Guaranty (pursuant to such agreements and instruments as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders).

     (f)    This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto.

     (g)    This Guaranty shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that would require the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.

     (h)    (1) Each Guarantor irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

     (2) Each Guarantor consents to process being served by or on behalf of any Holder in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 16(h)(1) by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to it at its address specified in Section 15 or at such other address of which such Holder shall then have been notified pursuant to said Section. Each Guarantor agrees that such service upon receipt (1) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (2) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it. Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service.

     (3) Nothing in this Section 16(h) shall affect the right of any Holder to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the holders of any of the Notes may have to bring proceedings against a Guarantor in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.

     (4)    EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH.

In accordance with the requirements of the Guaranty Agreement, the Additional Guarantor desires to amend the definition of Guarantor (as the same may have been heretofore amended) set forth in the Guaranty Agreement attached hereto so that at all times from and after the date hereof, the Additional Guarantor shall be jointly and severally liable as set forth in the Guaranty Agreement for the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement and to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Guaranty Agreement.

Exhibit A
(to Guaranty Agreement)

     The undersigned is the duly elected ____________ of the Additional Guarantor, a [subsidiary] of the [Issuer/Parent Guarantor], and is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Guaranty Supplement to each of you. The execution by the undersigned of this Guaranty Supplement shall evidence such Additional Guarantor’s consent to and acknowledgment and approval of the terms set forth herein and in the Guaranty Agreement and its agreement to be bound by the covenants, terms and provisions of the Guaranty Agreement as a Guarantor thereunder and by such execution the Additional Guarantor shall be deemed to have made in favor of the Holders the representations and warranties set forth in Section 13 of the Guaranty Agreement.

FORM OF OPINION OF SPECIAL COUNSEL
TO THE ISSUER AND THE GUARANTORS – CLOSING
