Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Loan Agreement. The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that a material Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as a result of their failure to deliver to Lender no later than June 30, 2000 the required mandatory prepayments of the Obligations required by Section 2.12 of the Loan Agreement (such failure being referred to herein as the "Designated Event of Default"). After careful consideration of, among other things, the Borrowers' request for the Lender's forbearance relative to the Designated Event of Default, Lender hereby agrees that, anything in the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Lender shall forbear from exercising any of its rights, remedies, or powers (including its right to declare all of the Obligations immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 9.1(a) of the Loan Agreement) solely with respect to the Designated Event of Default for a period commencing on the date hereof and ending on July 31, 2000. Effective upon the satisfaction of the terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender hereby further agrees that, anything contained in the definition of "Required 2 Amount" set forth in the Loan Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers may sell each Non-Core Property (as defined below) for cash consideration less than that set forth in the definition of "Required Amount" so long as (1) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing or would result therefrom, (2) the terms and conditions of any sale of a Non-Core Property (including, without limitation, the sale price thereof) are acceptable to Lender, (3) Lender shall have given its prior written consent to such sale, and (4) the Borrowers shall have caused the purchaser of each Non-Core Property to wire transfer to Lender in immediately available funds all net cash proceeds received by the Borrowers in consideration of such sale. As used herein, "Non-Core Property" means all of the Borrowers' real and personal property located in either (i) Miami, Florida, (ii) Kennesaw, Georgia, (iii) Charlotte, North Carolina, (iv) Spartanburg, North Carolina, (v) Arlington, [Texas] [Virginia], (vi) Columbus, Ohio, (vii) Tampa, Florida, or (viii) Redwood City, California. The effectiveness of this letter agreement shall be conditioned upon Lender's receipt of a counterpart of this letter agreement duly executed by the Borrowers. Except as, and to the extent, set forth herein: (a) Lender hereby reserves all remedies, powers, rights, and privileges that Lender may have under the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, at law (including under the Code), in equity, or otherwise; and (b) all terms, conditions, and provisions of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents are and shall remain in full force and effect and nothing herein shall operate as a consent to or a waiver, amendment, or forbearance in respect of any other or further matter (including any Event of Default other than the Designated Event of Default) or any other right, power, or remedy of Lender under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents. No delay on the part of Lender in the exercise of any remedy, power, right or privilege shall impair such remedy, power, right, or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default, nor shall any partial exercise of any such remedy, power, right or privilege preclude further exercise thereof or of any other remedy, power, right or privilege. This letter agreement is a Loan Document.
