PAYMENT OF RENT
VII.1. Rent.
(a) The Lessee shall pay FBTC Basic Rent and Lessor Basic Rent on the
Acquisition Date. Thereafter the Lessee shall pay Basic Rent (to the extent
such Basic Rent (or any component thereof) is then due and owing) on (x)
each Payment Date during the Term, (y) the date required under Section
24.1(i) in connection with the Lessee's exercise of the Remarketing Option,
and (z) any date on which this Lease shall terminate. The Lessee and Lessor
hereby agree that amounts which would otherwise be payable by Lessee to
Lessor hereunder as Lessor Basic Rent are payable as interest on the
Pledged Securities pursuant to the terms of the Securities Pledge Agreement
and such amounts shall not constitute Rent hereunder.
(b) Rent shall be due and payable in lawful money of the United
States and, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash
Management Event, shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available
funds on the due date therefor from the relevant Sub-Accounts of the Cash
Collateral Account, to the extent funds exist therein. With the exception
of the first payment on the Acquisition Date of FBTC Basic Rent and Lessor
Basic Rent, for which at least two (2) Business Days prior written notice
from the Lessor shall be provided, the Lessor shall provide written notice
of the amount of Basic Rent due at least five (5) Business Days prior to
each due date therefor; provided, however, that the failure of the Lessor
to provide such notice shall not affect Lessee's obligations hereunder or
impose liability on Lessor. Lessee shall deposit all security deposits
received by it with respect to the Property into the Security Deposit
Account
-10-
<PAGE>
and shall cause all relevant checks to be made payable to the name of the
Security Deposit Account.
(c) So long as a Cash Management Event is not continuing, Rent shall
be payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds on the due date
therefor as follows: (i) Lessor Basic Rent and FBTC Basic Rent and
Supplemental Rent to which the Lessor is entitled shall be payable to the
Lessor at the place of payment designated in writing by the Lessor and (ii)
the remainder of Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent to which the Lender is
entitled shall be payable to the Lender or Lender's designee or to an
account identified by Lender or Lender's designee as set forth in Section
2.12 (b) of the Nomura Loan Agreement.
(d) Neither the Lessee's inability or failure to take possession of
all or any portion of the Property when delivered by the Lessor, whether or
not attributable to any act or omission of the Lessee, or for any other
reason whatsoever, shall delay or otherwise affect the Lessee's obligation
to pay Rent for the Property in accordance with the terms of this Lease.
VII.2. Payment of Rent. Rent shall be paid absolutely net to the Lessor,
so that this Lease shall yield to the Lessor the full amount thereof, without
setoff, deduction or reduction.
VII.3. Supplemental Rent. The Lessee shall pay promptly as Supplemental
Rent shall become due and payable (a) after the occurrence and during the
continuance of a Cash Management Event, to the Collection Account and (b) so
long as that a Cash Management Event is not continuing, any and all Supplemental
Rent payable pursuant to the Nomura Loan Agreement, to the Lender, Lender's
designee or to such parties as set forth in the Nomura Loan Agreement, and all
other Supplemental Rent to the Lessor. If the Lessee fails to pay any
Supplemental Rent, the Lessor shall have all rights, powers and remedies
provided for herein or by law or equity or otherwise in the case of nonpayment
of Basic Rent. The Lessee shall pay as Supplemental Rent, among other things,
within ten (10) days following demand (or such shorter period that such payment
is required to be made under the Loan Documents) to the extent permitted by
applicable Requirements of Law, interest at the applicable Overdue Rate on any
installment of Basic Rent not paid when due for the period for which the same
shall be overdue and on any payment of Supplemental Rent not paid when due or
demanded by the Lessor for the period from the due date or the date of any such
demand, as the case may be, until the same shall be paid. The expiration or
other termination of the Lessee's obligations to pay Basic Rent hereunder shall
not limit or modify the obligations of the Lessee with respect to Supplemental
Rent. Unless expressly provided otherwise in this Lease, in the event of any
failure on the part of the Lessee to pay and discharge any Supplemental Rent as
and when due, the Lessee shall also promptly pay and discharge any fine,
penalty, interest or cost which may be assessed or added under any agreement
with a third party for nonpayment or late payment of such Supplemental Rent, all
of which shall also constitute Supplemental Rent.
VII.4. Method of Payment. Except as otherwise set forth in the Nomura
Loan Agreement, each payment of Rent or any other amount due hereunder shall be
made by the Lessee to the applicable party prior to 12:00 noon., New York City
time at the place of payment designated in writing by the Lessor or such
applicable party in funds consisting of lawful currency of the United States of
America which shall be in federal or other immediately available funds to an
account specified by Lender (with respect to payments to Lender) and, with
respect to all other payees, to such accounts as specified by such payees. If
any payment is due on a date which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be
made on the next
-11-
<PAGE>
succeeding Business Day. Payments received after 12:00 noon, New York City time
on the date due shall for all purposes hereof be deemed to have been paid on the
next succeeding Business Day.

action by the Lessor or anyone claiming by, through or under the Lessor (other

shall the Lessee be entitled to any abatement, suspension, deferment, reduction,
setoff, counterclaim, or defense with respect to the Rent, nor shall the
obligations of the Lessee hereunder be affected (except as expressly herein
permitted and by performance of the obligations in connection therewith) by
reason of: (i) any defect in the condition, merchantability, design,

other Person, or by any court, in any such proceeding; (vii) any claim that the
Lessee has or might have against any Person, including without limitation the

thereof; or (xiii) any other cause or circumstances, whether or not the Lessee
shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing. The parties intend that
the obligations of the Lessee hereunder shall be covenants and agreements that
are separate and independent from any obligations of the Lessor hereunder or
under any other Operative Documents and the obligations of the Lessee shall
continue unaffected unless such obligations shall have been modified or
terminated in accordance with an express provision of this Lease. Nothing
contained herein is intended to obviate or otherwise diminish any right the
Lessee may have to bring an action, either at law or in equity, to remedy any
breach by the Lessor of the Lessor's obligations hereunder.
IX.2. No Termination or Abatement. The Lessee shall remain obligated
under this Lease in accordance with its terms and shall not take any action to
terminate, rescind or avoid this Lease, notwithstanding any action for

court with respect to the Lessor. The Lessee hereby waives all right (i) to
terminate or surrender this Lease (except as provided herein) or (ii) to avail
itself of any abatement, suspension, deferment, reduction, setoff, counterclaim
or defense with respect to any Rent. The Lessee shall remain obligated under
this Lease in accordance with its terms and the Lessee hereby waives any and all
rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise to modify or to avoid
strict compliance with its obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding any
such statute or otherwise, the Lessee shall be bound by all of the terms and

shall remain directly and primarily liable under this Lease, even if assigned,
and as to the Property or portion thereof so sublet. Any sublease of the

(a) During the Term the Lessee shall procure and carry, at the

claims for bodily injury or death sustained by persons or damage to
property while on the Property and such other public liability coverages as
are ordinarily procured by the Lessee or its Affiliates who own or operate
similar properties. Such insurance shall be on terms and in amounts that
are in accordance with normal industry practice. The policy shall be
endorsed to name the Lessor, the Trust Company and the Lender as additional
insured. The policy shall also specifically provide that the policy shall
be considered primary insurance which shall apply to any loss or claim
before any contribution by any insurance which the Lessor may have in
force.
(b) The Lessee shall, in the construction of any Improvements
(including in connection with any Modifications thereof) and the operation
of the Property, comply with, or cause the applicable contractor to comply
with, all applicable workers' compensation laws.
XVII.2. Hazard and Other Insurance. During the Term the Lessee shall
keep, or cause to be kept, the Property insured against loss or damage by fire,
flood and other risks on terms and in amounts that are no less favorable than
insurance covering other similar properties owned by the Lessee or its
Affiliates and that are in accordance with normal industry practice and as
required in the Loan Documents. During the construction of any Improvements the
Lessee shall also maintain or cause to be maintained builders' risk insurance.
XVII.3. Insurance Coverage.
(a) The Lessee shall furnish the Lessor with certificates showing the
insurance required under Sections 17.1 and 17.2 to be in effect and naming
the Lessor as additional insured with
-18-
<PAGE>
respect to liability coverage (excluding worker's compensation insurance),
and naming the Lessor as loss payee with respect to property coverage and
showing the mortgagee endorsement required by Section 17.3(c) with respect
to such coverage. All such insurance shall be at the cost and expense of
the Lessee. Such certificates shall include a provision for no less than
thirty (30) days' advance written notice by the insurer to the Lessor in
the event of cancellation or reduction of such insurance.
(b) The Lessee agrees that the insurance policy or policies required
by Section 17.2 shall include an appropriate clause pursuant to which such
policy shall provide that it will not be invalidated should the Lessee
waive, in writing, prior to a loss, any or all rights of recovery against
any party for losses covered by such policy, and that the insurance in
favor of the Lessor and its rights under and interests in said policies
shall not be invalidated or reduced by any act or omission or negligence of
the Lessee or any other Person having any interest in the Property. The
Lessee hereby waives any and all such rights against the Lessor to the
extent of payments made under such policies.
(c) All such insurance shall be written by reputable insurance
companies that are financially sound and solvent and otherwise reasonably
appropriate considering the amount and type of insurance being provided by
such companies. Any insurance company selected by the Lessee which is
rated in Best's Insurance Guide or any successor thereto (or if there be
none, an organization having a similar national reputation) shall have a
general policyholder rating of "A" and a financial rating of at least "12"
or be otherwise acceptable to the Lessor. All insurance policies required
by Section 17.2 shall include a standard form mortgagee endorsement in
favor of the Lender.
(d) The Lessor may carry separate liability insurance so long as (i)
the Lessee's insurance is designated as primary and in no event excess or
contributory to any insurance the Lessor may have in force which would
apply to a loss covered under the Lessee's policy and (ii) each such
insurance policy will not cause the Lessee's insurance required under this
Article XVII to be subject to a coinsurance exception of any kind.
(e) The Lessee shall pay as they become due all premiums for the
insurance required by Section 17.1 and Section 17.2, and shall renew or
replace each policy prior to the expiration date thereof. Throughout the
Term, at the time each of the Lessee's insurance policies is renewed (but
in no event less frequently than once each year), the Lessee shall deliver
to the Lessor certificates of insurance evidencing that all insurance
required by this Article XVII is being maintained by the Lessee and is in
effect.
XVII.4. Insurance Proceeds. All insurance proceeds in respect of any loss
or occurrence shall, to the extent permitted under the Loan Documents, be paid
to the Lender and, upon compliance with the terms of the Loan Documents, the
Lender shall pay same to the Lessee for application toward the reconstruction,
repair or refurbishment of the Property to the extent permitted under the Loan
Documents.
XVII.5. Insurance Requirements in Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 17.1, 17.2, 17.3 and 17.4, the Lessee shall comply with
all Insurance Requirements (as defined in the Nomura Loan Agreement) and to the
extent the provisions hereof are inconsistent with same, the provisions of the
Loan Documents shall control. The Lessor acknowledges that the Insurance

Property or any part thereof, is the subject of a Condemnation, then the
Lessee shall (i) reconstruct, refurbish and repair the Property upon
submission to the Lessor of an architect's certificate as to the cost of
such restoration and to the effect that the Property can be fully restored
to the condition required under the Operative Documents and as to the cost

(b) The Lessee may appear in any proceeding or action to negotiate,
prosecute, adjust or appeal any claim for any award, compensation or
insurance payment on account of any such Casualty or Condemnation and shall
pay all expenses thereof. At the Lessee's reasonable request, and at the
Lessee's sole cost and expense, the Lessor shall participate in any such
proceeding, action, negotiation, prosecution or adjustment. The Lessor and
the Lessee agree that this Lease shall control the rights of the Lessor and
the Lessee in and to any such award, compensation or insurance payment.
(c) If the Lessor or the Lessee shall receive notice of a Casualty or
of an actual, pending or threatened Condemnation of the Property or any
interest therein, the Lessor or the Lessee, as the case may be, shall give
notice thereof to the other and the Lender promptly after the receipt of
such notice.
(d) If pursuant to this Section 18.1 and Section 19.1 this Lease
shall continue in full force and effect following a Casualty or
Condemnation with respect to the Property, the Lessee shall, at its sole
cost and expense (and, without limitation, if any award, compensation or
insurance payment is not sufficient to restore the Property in accordance
with this paragraph, the Lessee shall pay the shortfall), promptly and
diligently repair any damage to the Property caused by such Casualty or
Condemnation in conformity with the requirements of Sections 13.1 and 14.1
using the as-built plans and specifications for the Property (as modified
to give effect to any subsequent Modifications, any Condemnation affecting
the Property and all applicable Requirements of Law) so as to restore the
Property as near as possible to the condition, operation, function and
value as existed immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation with
such Modification as the Lessee may elect in accordance with Section 14.1.
In such event, title to the Property shall remain with the Lessor. Upon
completion of such restoration, the Lessee shall furnish the Lessor an
architect's certificate of substantial completion and a Responsible
Employee's Certificate confirming that such restoration has been completed
pursuant to this Lease.
-20-

obligations to pay Rent pursuant to Section 7.1 or to perform its
obligations and pay any amounts due on the Expiration Date or pursuant to
Articles XXII and XXV.
(f) Any Excess Proceeds received by the Lessor in respect of a
Casualty or Condemnation shall be turned over to the Lessee.
(g) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 18.1, the Lessee
shall comply with and be entitled to the benefit of all provisions in the
Loan Documents regarding Casualty and Condemnation and to the extent the
provisions hereof are inconsistent with same, the provisions of the Loan
Documents shall control.

the existence of an Environmental Violation, the Lessee shall notify the Lessor
in writing of such Environmental Violation. If the Lessor elects not to
terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 19.1, at the Lessee's sole cost and
expense, the Lessee shall promptly and diligently commence any response, clean
up, remedial or other action necessary to remove, clean up or remediate the
Environmental Violation in accordance with the terms of Section 12.3. If the
Lessor does not deliver a Termination Notice pursuant to Section 19.1, the
Lessee shall, upon completion of remedial action by the Lessee, cause to be
prepared by an environmental consultant reasonably acceptable to the Lessor a
report describing the Environmental Violation and the actions taken by the
Lessee (or its agents) in response to such Environmental Violation, and a
statement by the consultant that the Environmental Violation has been remedied
in compliance in all material respects with applicable Environmental Law. Each
such Environmental Violation shall be remedied prior to the Expiration Date.
Nothing in this Article XVIII shall reduce or limit the Lessee's obligations
under the indemnity provisions hereof.
XVIII.3. Notice of Environmental Matters. Promptly, but in any event
within sixty (60) Business Days from the date the Lessee has actual knowledge
thereof, the Lessee shall provide to the Lessor written notice of any pending or
threatened claim, action or proceeding involving any Environmental Violation on
or in connection with the Property. All such notices shall describe in

detailed reports of any such environmental claims as may reasonably be requested
by the Lessor. In the event that the Lessor receives written notice of any
pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding involving any Environmental
Violation on or in connection with the Property, the Lessor shall promptly give
notice thereof to the Lessee.

do one or more of the following as the Lessor
-24-
<PAGE>
in its sole discretion shall determine, without limiting any other right or
remedy the Lessor may have on account of such Event of Default:
(a) The Lessor may, by notice to the Lessee, rescind or terminate
this Lease as of the date specified in such notice; however, (i) no
reletting, reentry or taking of possession of the Property (or any portion
thereof) by the Lessor will be construed as an election on the Lessor's
part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is
given to the Lessee, (ii) notwithstanding any reletting, reentry or taking
of possession, the Lessor may at any time thereafter elect to terminate
this Lease for a continuing Event of Default and (iii) no act or thing done
by the Lessor or any of its agents, representatives or employees and no
agreement accepting a surrender of the Property shall be valid unless the
same be made in writing and executed by the Lessor.
(b) The Lessor may (i) demand that the Lessee, and the Lessee shall
upon the written demand of the Lessor, return the Property promptly to the
Lessor in the manner and condition required by, and otherwise in accordance
with all of the provisions of, Articles XI and XIII and Section 12.3 hereof
as if the Property were being returned at the end of the Term, and the
Lessor shall not be liable for the reimbursement of the Lessee for any
costs and expenses incurred by the Lessee in connection therewith and (ii)
without prejudice to any other remedy which the Lessor may have for
possession of the Property, and to the extent and in the manner permitted
by Applicable Law, enter upon the Property and take immediate possession of
(to the exclusion of the Lessee) the Property or any part thereof and expel
or remove the Lessee and any other Person who may be occupying the
Property, by summary proceedings or otherwise, all without liability to the
Lessee for or by reason of such entry or taking of possession, whether for
the restoration of damage to property caused by such taking or otherwise
and, in addition to the Lessor's other damages, the Lessee shall be
responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by the Lessor in connection
with any reletting, including, without limitation, reasonable brokers' fees
and all costs of any alterations or repairs made by the Lessor.
(c) The Lessor may (i) sell all or any part of the Property at public
sale free and clear of any rights of the Lessee and without any duty to
account to the Lessee with respect to such action or inaction or any
proceeds (except that Excess Proceeds are payable to and shall be paid to
the Lessee) with respect thereto (except to the extent required by clause
(ii) below if the Lessor shall elect to exercise its rights thereunder) in
which event the Lessee's obligation to pay Basic Rent hereunder for periods
commencing after the date of such sale shall be terminated or
proportionately reduced, as the case may be; and (ii) if the Lessor shall
so elect, demand that the Lessee pay to the Lessor, and the Lessee shall
pay to the Lessor, on the date of such sale, as liquidated damages for loss
of a bargain and not as a penalty (the parties agreeing that the Lessor's
actual damages would be difficult to predict, but the aforementioned
liquidated damages represent a reasonable approximation of such amount) (in
lieu of Basic Rent due for periods commencing on or after the Payment Date
coinciding with such date of sale (or, if the sale date is not a Payment
Date, the Payment Date next preceding the date of such sale)), an amount
equal to (A) the excess, if any, of (1) the Lease Balance calculated as of
such Payment Date (including all Rent due and unpaid to and including such
Payment Date and), over (2) the net proceeds of such sale (that is, after
deducting all costs and expenses incurred by the Lessor incident to such
conveyance, including, without limitation, repossession costs, brokerage
commissions, prorations, transfer taxes, fees and expenses for counsel,
title insurance fees, survey costs, recording fees, and any
-25-
<PAGE>
repair costs); plus (B) interest at the Overdue Rate on the foregoing
amount from such Payment Date until the date of payment.
(d) The Lessor may, at its option, elect not to terminate this Lease
and continue to collect all Basic Rent, Supplemental Rent, and all other
amounts due the Lessor (together with all costs of collection) and enforce
the Lessee's obligations under this Lease as and when the same become due,
or are to be performed, and at the option of the Lessor, upon any
abandonment of the Property by the Lessee or re-entry of same by the
Lessor, the Lessor may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect not to
terminate this Lease and may make the necessary repairs in order to relet
the Property, and relet the Property or any part thereof for such term or
terms (which may be for a long term extending beyond the Term of this
Lease) and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and
conditions as the Lessor in its reasonable discretion may deem advisable;
and upon each such reletting all rentals actually received by the Lessor
from such reletting shall be applied to the Lessee's obligations hereunder
and the other Operative Documents in such order, proportion and priority as
the Lessor may elect in the Lessor's sole and absolute discretion. If such
rentals received from such reletting during any period are less than the
Rent with respect to the Property to be paid during that period by the
Lessee hereunder, the Lessee shall pay any deficiency, as calculated by the
Lessor, to the Lessor on the next Payment Date.
(e) Unless the Property has been sold in its entirety, the Lessor
may, whether or not the Lessor shall have exercised or shall thereafter at
any time exercise any of its rights under paragraph (b), (c) or (d) of this
Section 20.2 with respect to the Property or portion thereof, demand, by
written notice to the Lessee specifying a date (a "Termination Date") not
earlier than 10 days after the date of such notice, that the Lessee
purchase, on such Termination Date, the Property (or the remaining portion
thereof) in accordance with the provisions of Article XXII; provided,
however, that no such written notice shall be required upon the occurrence
of any Event of Default in clause (g) or (h) of Section 20.1.
(f) The Lessor may exercise any other right or remedy that may be
available to it under Applicable Law, or proceed by appropriate court
action (legal or equitable) to enforce the terms hereof or to recover
damages for the breach hereof. Separate suits may be brought to collect any
such damages for any period(s), and such suits shall not in any manner
prejudice the Lessor's right to collect any such damages for any subsequent
period(s), or the Lessor may defer any such suit until after the expiration
of the Term, in which event such suit shall be deemed not to have accrued
until the expiration of the Term.
(g) The Lessor may retain and apply against the Lessor's damages all
sums which the Lessor would, absent such Event of Default, be required to
pay to, or turn over to, the Lessee pursuant to the terms of this Lease.
(h) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and so long as same is
continuing, the Lessor, as a matter of right and without notice to the
Lessee, and without regard to the value of the Property or the solvency of
the Lessee, shall have the right to apply to any court having jurisdiction
to appoint a receiver or receivers of the Property, and the Lessee hereby
irrevocably consents to any such appointment. Any such receiver(s) shall
have all of the usual powers and duties of receivers in like or similar
cases and all of the powers and duties of the Lessor in case of
-26-
<PAGE>
entry, and shall continue as such and exercise such powers until the date
of confirmation of the sale of the Property unless such receivership is
sooner terminated.
(i) To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Lessee hereby waives
the benefit of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement
and redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshaling
in the event of any sale of any or all of the Property or any interest
therein.
(j) The Lessor shall be entitled to enforce payment of the
indebtedness and performance of the obligations secured hereby and to
exercise all rights and powers under this instrument or under any of the
other Operative Documents or other agreement or any laws now or hereafter
in force, notwithstanding some or all of the obligations secured hereby may
now or hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by mortgage, security
agreement, pledge, lien, assignment or otherwise. Neither the acceptance of
this instrument nor its enforcement, shall prejudice or in any manner
affect the Lessor's right to realize upon or enforce any other security now
or hereafter held by the Lessor, it being agreed that the Lessor shall be
entitled to enforce this instrument and any other security now or hereafter
held by the Lessor in such order and manner as the Lessor may determine in
its absolute discretion. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the
Lessor is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law
provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in
addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing
at law or in equity or by statute. Every power or remedy given by any of
the Operative Documents to the Lessor or to which it may otherwise be
entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to
time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Lessor.
(k) The Lessor may exercise any and all rights under (a) the
Certificate Pledge Agreement against Certificate A and/or (b) the
Securities Pledge Agreement against the Pledged Securities, and the
collateral represented thereby.
In no event shall the Lessor, in the exercise of the remedies provided in this
instrument (including, without limitation, in connection with the assignment of
rents to Lessor, or the appointment of a receiver and the entry of such receiver
on to all or any part of the Property), be deemed a "mortgagee in possession,"
and the Lessor shall not in any way be made liable for any act, either of
commission or omission, in connection with the exercise of such remedies.
If, pursuant to the exercise by the Lessor of its remedies pursuant to this
Section 20.2, the Lease Balance, all other amounts due and owing from the Lessee
under this Lease and the other Operative Documents have been paid in full, then
the Lessor shall remit to the Lessee any excess amounts received by the Lessor.
XX.3. Waiver of Certain Rights. If this Lease shall be terminated pursuant
to Section 20.2, the Lessee waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (a)
any notice of re-entry or the institution of legal proceedings to obtain re-
entry or possession; (b) any right of redemption, re-entry or repossession; (c)
the benefit of any laws now or hereafter in force exempting property from
liability for rent or for debt or limiting the Lessor with respect to the
election of remedies; and (d) any other rights which might otherwise limit or
modify any of the Lessor's rights or remedies under this Article XX.

PURCHASE PROVISIONS
XXII.1. Purchase Option. Provided that the Lessee shall not have given
notice of its intention to exercise the Remarketing Option, the Lessee shall
have the option on any Payment Date (a) after the second anniversary of the
Start-Up Day (exercisable by giving the Lessor irrevocable written notice (the
"Purchase Notice") of the Lessee's election to exercise such option) to purchase
all, and not less than all, of the Property on the date specified in such
Purchase Notice at a price equal to the Lease Balance theretofore accruing or
(b) to pay the Lessor the Equity Balance and reduce the amount of the Lease
Balance by the amount paid. The Lessee shall deliver the Purchase Notice to the
Lessor not less than thirty (30) days prior to such purchase or payment of the
Equity Balance. If the Lessee exercises its option to purchase the Property

to the Lessee or its designee all of the Lessor's right, title and interest in
and to the Property as of the date specified in the Purchase Notice upon receipt
of the Lease Balance in accordance with Section 25.1. Subject to Section 12.4

than five (5) Business Days prior to the closing of such purchase (time being of
the essence), the transferee or transferees to whom the conveyance shall be made
(if other than to the Lessee), in which case such conveyance shall (subject to
the terms and conditions set forth herein) be made to such designee; provided,
however, that such designation of a transferee or transferees shall not cause
the Lessee to be released, fully or partially, from any of its obligations under
this Lease, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay the Lessor the
Lease Balance on the Expiration Date.
ARTICLE XXIII
RENEWAL PROCEDURES
XXIII.1. Renewal. Subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Lessee
and the Lessor may agree to renew the Term for the Property for up to five one-
year terms (each, a "Renewal Term"), with each such Renewal Term to commence on
the first day following the Expiration Date then in effect. The effective
extension of the Term for the Property shall be subject to the satisfaction of
each of the following conditions:
(a) each renewal shall be automatic unless on or before one hundred
eighty (180) days prior to the Expiration Date the Lessee shall have
delivered written notice to the Lessor of the Lessee's determination not to
extend the Term for the Property;
-28-
<PAGE>
(b) on the Expiration Date then in effect prior to any renewal, no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and
(c) the Lessee shall not have given notice of its intention to

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the original five year Term of this Lease
shall not be renewable unless the provisions of Section 7.13(b) of the
Certificate Pledge Agreement are satisfied in full.
ARTICLE XXIV
REMARKETING OPTION
XXIV.1. Option to Remarket. Subject to the fulfillment of each of the
conditions set forth in this Section 24.1, the Lessee shall have the option
beginning on the second anniversary of the Start-Up Day (the "Remarketing
Option") to market and complete the sale of the Property for the Lessor.
The Lessee's effective exercise and consummation of the Remarketing Option
shall be subject to the due and timely fulfillment of each of the following
provisions as to the Property as of the dates set forth below.
(a) Not later than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the
Expiration Date, the Lessee shall give to the Lessor written notice of the
Lessee's exercise of the Remarketing Option, which exercise shall be
irrevocable. If Lessee does not deliver a notice of its intention not to
renew this Lease as provided in Section 23.1 and fails to timely provide
the Remarketing Notice, then this Lease shall be renewed for a Renewal Term
as provided in Section 23.1. If Lessee delivers the notice of its intention
not to renew this Lease as provided in Section 23.1 and fails to timely
provide the Remarketing Notice, then Lessee shall be deemed to have elected
to exercise its Purchase Option under Section 22.1(i).
(b) Not later than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the
Expiration Date, the Lessee shall deliver to the Lessor an Environmental
Audit for the Property. Such Environmental Audit shall be prepared by an
environmental consultant selected by the Lessor in the Lessor's reasonable
discretion and shall contain conclusions reasonably satisfactory to the
Lessor as to the environmental status of the Property. If any such
Environmental Audit indicates any exceptions with respect to which a Phase
Two environment assessment is recommended, the Lessee shall also deliver
(i) a Phase Two environmental assessment by such environmental consultant
within thirty (30) days prior to the Expiration Date and (ii) a certificate
of such environmental consultant prior to the Expiration Date showing the
completion of all remedial action in compliance with Applicable Law.
(c) On the date of the Lessee's notice to the Lessor of the Lessee's
exercise of the Remarketing Option, and on the Expiration Date, no Event of
Default shall exist.
(d) The Lessee shall have completed in all Material respects all
Modifications, restoration and rebuilding of the Property pursuant to
Sections 14.1 and 18.1 (as the case may be) and shall
-29-
<PAGE>
have fulfilled in all Material respects all of the conditions and
requirements in connection therewith pursuant to said Sections, in each
case by the date on which the Lessor receives the Lessee's notice of the
Lessee's exercise of the Remarketing Option (time being of the essence),
regardless of whether the same shall be within the Lessee's control. The
Lessee shall have also paid the cost of all Modifications commenced prior
to the Expiration Date. The Lessee shall not have been excused pursuant to
Section 16.1 from complying with any Applicable Law that involved the
extension of the ultimate imposition of such Applicable Law beyond the last
day of the Term. Any Permitted Liens (other than Lessor Liens) on the
Property that were contested by the Lessee shall have been removed.
(e) During the Marketing Period, the Lessee shall, as nonexclusive
agent for the Lessor, use best efforts to sell the Lessor's interest in the
Property and will attempt to obtain the highest purchase price therefor and
for not less than the Fair Market Sales Value of the Property. The Lessee
will be responsible for hiring brokers and making the Property available
for inspection by prospective purchasers. The Lessee shall promptly upon
request permit inspection of the Property and any maintenance records
relating to the Property by the Lessor and any potential purchasers, and
shall otherwise do all things reasonably necessary to sell and deliver
possession of the Property to any purchaser. All such marketing of the
Property shall be at the Lessee's sole expense. The Lessee shall allow the
Lessor and any potential qualified purchaser reasonable access to the
Property for the purpose of inspecting the same.
(f) The Lessee shall submit all bids to the Lessor, and the Lessor
will have the right to submit any one or more bids. The Lessee shall
deliver to the Lessor, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the
Expiration Date, binding written unconditional (except as set forth below),
irrevocable offer or offers by such purchaser or purchasers offering the
highest bid to purchase the Property. No such purchaser shall be the Lessee
or an Affiliate of the Lessee. The written offer must specify the
Expiration Date as the closing date unless the Lessor shall otherwise agree
in its reasonable discretion. Any sale by the Lessee shall be for the
highest cash bid submitted to the Lessor. The determination of the highest
bid shall be made by the Lessor prior to the end of the Marketing Period,
but in any event, the Lessor shall have no obligation to approve any bid
unless the aggregate amount of the highest bids for the Property equals or
exceeds an amount equal to the Lease Balance minus the Contingent Rental
Adjustment determined as of the Expiration Date. All bids shall be on an
all-cash basis unless the Lessor shall otherwise agree in its sole
discretion.
(g) In connection with any such sale of the Property, the Lessee will
provide to each Purchaser all customary "seller's" indemnities,
representations and warranties regarding absence of Liens (other than
Lessor Liens) and the condition of the Property. The Lessee shall have
obtained, at its cost and expense, all required governmental and regulatory
consents and approvals and shall have made all filings as required by
Applicable Law in order to carry out and complete the transfer of the
Property. As to the Lessor, any such sale shall be made on an "as is, with
all faults" basis without representation or warranty by the Lessor other
than the absence of Lessor Liens. Any agreement as to such sale shall be
made subject to the Lessor's rights hereunder.
(h) The Lessee shall pay directly, and not from the sale proceeds,
all prorations, credits, costs and expenses of the sale of the Property,
whether incurred by the Lessor or the Lessee, including without limitation,
the cost of all title insurance, surveys, environmental reports,
-30-
<PAGE>
appraisals, transfer taxes, the Lessor's reasonable attorneys' fees, the
Lessee's attorneys' fees, commissions, escrow fees, recording fees, and all
applicable documentary and other transfer taxes.
(i) The Lessee shall pay to the Lessor on or prior to the Expiration
Date (or to such other Person as the Lessor shall notify the Lessee in
writing) an amount equal to the Contingent Rental Adjustment for the
Property plus all Basic Rent and all other amounts hereunder which have
accrued or will accrue prior to or as of the Expiration Date or such other
closing date approved by the parties, in the type of funds specified in
Section 7.4 hereof.
(j) The Lessee shall pay to the Lessor on or prior to the Expiration
Date the amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to Section 26.2
hereof.
(k) If the Lessor approves any bid for the Property, the purchase of
the Property shall be consummated on or before the Expiration Date and the
gross proceeds (the "Gross Proceeds") of the sale of the Property, less the
documented expenses incurred by the Lessee under clause (h) shall be paid
directly to the Lessor; provided, however, that if the sum of (x) the
remaining Gross Proceeds from such sale or sales plus (y) the Contingent
Rental Adjustment received by the Lessor pursuant to clause (i) plus (z)
amounts received by the Lessor pursuant to Section 26.2 hereof exceeds the
Lease Balance as of such date, then the excess shall be paid to the Lessee
on the Expiration Date or such other closing date approved by the parties.
(l) All reconstruction, refurbishment and repair to the Property
resulting from a Casualty or Condemnation shall have been completed prior
to the end of the Marketing Period.
If one or more of the foregoing provisions shall not be fulfilled as of the
date set forth above with respect to the Property, then the Lessor shall declare
by written notice to the Lessee the Remarketing Option to be null and void
(whether or not it has been theretofore exercised by the Lessee), in which event
all of the Lessee's rights under this Section 24.1 shall immediately terminate
and the Lessee shall be obligated to purchase the Property pursuant to Section
22.1 on the Expiration Date. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the
contrary, in the event that the second anniversary of the Start-Up Day has not
occurred prior to the Expiration Date, the Lessee shall pay the Equity Balance
to the Lessor on the Expiration Date.
If the Lessee effectively elects the Remarketing Option and no sale of the
Property is consummated prior to the end of the Marketing Period, the Lessee
shall, in addition to making the payment required pursuant to Section 24.1(i)
above, return the Property to the Lessor (or to any other Person specified by
the Lessor). In connection with any such return of the Property, the Lessee
shall, at its own cost and expense, do each of the following:
(i) the Lessee shall, on or prior to the Expiration Date, execute and
deliver to the Lessor (or to the Lessor's designee) (A) a deed with respect
to the Property containing representations and warranties of grantor to the
Lessor (or such other Person) regarding the absence of Liens (other than
Permitted Liens of the type described in clauses (i) and (iii) of the
definition thereof), (B) a bill of sale with respect to any Equipment then
located on the Property and (C) an assignment of the Lessee's entire
interest in the Property (which shall include an assignment of all of the
Lessee's right, title and interest in and to any Net Proceeds with respect
to the Property not previously received by the Lessee and an assignment of
leases of the Property), in each case in
-31-
<PAGE>
recordable form and otherwise in conformity with local custom and free and
clear of any Liens attributable to the Lessee;
(ii) the Lessee shall execute and deliver to Lessor and the Lessor's
title insurance company an affidavit as to the absence of any Liens (other
than Permitted Liens of the type described in clauses (i) and (iii) of the
definition thereof) and shall execute and deliver to the Lessor a statement
of termination of this Lease to the extent relating to the Property;
(iii) the Lessee shall, on the Expiration Date, transfer possession
of the Property to the Lessor or any Person designated by the Lessor, by
surrendering the same into the possession of the Lessor or such Person, as
the case may be, in the condition required by this Section 24.1 and in
compliance with Applicable Law;
(iv) the Lessee shall, for a period of up to one year after the
Expiration Date, cooperate reasonably with the Lessor and/or any Person
designated by the Lessor to receive the Property, which cooperation shall
include reasonable efforts with respect to the following, all of which the
Lessee shall do on or before the Expiration Date or as soon thereafter as
is reasonably practicable: providing copies of all books and records
regarding the maintenance and ownership of the Property and all know-how,
data and technical information relating thereto, granting or assigning all
licenses necessary for the operation and maintenance of the Property and
cooperating reasonably in seeking and obtaining all necessary Governmental
Action. The obligations of the Lessee under this paragraph shall survive
the expiration or termination of this Lease; and
(v) no subleases with respect to the Property or any portion thereof
shall be in effect on the Expiration Date.
Except as expressly set forth herein, the Lessee shall have no right, power
or authority to bind the Lessor in connection with any proposed sale or sales of
the Property.
XXIV.2. Certain Obligations Continue. During the Marketing Period, the
obligation of the Lessee to pay Rent shall continue undiminished until payment
in full to the Lessor of the Contingent Rental Adjustment and all other amounts
due to the Lessor by Lessee under the Operative Documents to which the Lessee is
a party. The Lessor shall have the right, but shall be under no duty, to solicit
bids, to inquire into the efforts of the Lessee to obtain bids or otherwise to
take action in connection with any such sale, other than as expressly provided
in this Article XXIV.

residual value of the Property.
XXVI.2. End of Term Indemnity.
(a) If the Lessee elects the Remarketing Option and there would,
after giving effect, to the proposed remarketing transactions, be a

(c) loss of or damage to any property or the environment (including,
without limitation, clean-up costs, response costs, remediation and removal

resources arising in connection with the generation, use, handling,
storage, transport or disposal of any such Hazardous Substances, and
irrespective of whether any of such activities were or will be undertaken
in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, codes and ordinances;
provided, however, the Lessee shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnitee
under this Section 26.3 for (1) any Claim to the extent resulting from the
willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee (it being understood
that, unless the applicable Indemnitee was in possession of the Property and
caused the Claim, the Lessee shall be required to indemnify an Indemnitee even
if the ordinary (but not gross) negligence of such Indemnitee caused or
contributed to such Claim) or (2) any Claim to the extent attributable to acts
or events occurring after the expiration of the Term or the return or
remarketing of the Property so long as the Lessor is not exercising remedies
against the Lessee in respect of the Operative Documents. It is expressly
understood and agreed that the indemnity provided for herein shall survive the
expiration or termination of and shall be separate and independent from any
remedy under this Lease or any other Operative Document.
XXVI.4. Proceedings in Respect of Claims. With respect to any amount that
the Lessee is requested by an Indemnitee to pay by reason of Section 26.1 or
26.3, such Indemnitee shall, if so requested by the Lessee and prior to any
payment, submit such additional information to the Lessee as the Lessee may
reasonably request and which is in the possession of such Indemnitee to
substantiate properly the requested payment.
In case any action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against any
Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Lessee of the commencement
thereof, and the Lessee shall be entitled, at its
-36-
<PAGE>
expense, to participate in, and, to the extent that the Lessee desires to,
assume and control the defense thereof; provided, however, that the Lessee shall
not have any increased liability as a direct result of an Indemnitee's failure
to provide such notice promptly; provided, further, that the Lessee shall have
acknowledged in writing its obligation to fully indemnify such Indemnitee in
respect of such action, suit or proceeding, and, the Lessee shall keep such
Indemnitee fully apprised of the status of such action, suit or proceeding and
shall provide such Indemnitee with all information with respect to such action,
suit or proceeding as such Indemnitee shall reasonably request, and provided,
further, that the Lessee shall not be entitled to assume and control the defense
of any such action, suit or proceeding if and to the extent that, (A) in the
reasonable opinion of such Indemnitee, (x) such action, suit or proceeding
involves any risk of imposition of criminal liability or any risk of imposition
of material civil liability on such Indemnitee or will involve a material risk
of the sale, forfeiture or loss of, or the creation of any Lien (other than a
Permitted Lien or Lessor Lien) on the Property or any part thereof unless, in
the case of civil liability, the Lessee shall have posted a bond or other
security reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Indemnitees in respect to such
risk or (y) the control of such action, suit or proceeding would involve an
actual or potential conflict of interest, (B) such proceeding involves Claims
not fully indemnified by the Lessee which the Lessee and the Indemnitee have
been unable to sever from the indemnified claim(s), or (C) an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing. The Indemnitee may participate in a reasonable
manner at its own expense and with its own counsel in any proceeding conducted
by the Lessee in accordance with the foregoing. The Lessee shall not enter into
any settlement or other compromise with respect to any Claim which is entitled
to be indemnified under Section 26.1 or 26.3 without the prior written consent
of the Indemnitee which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld in the case
of a money settlement not involving an admission of liability of such
Indemnitee; provided, however, that in the event that such Indemnitee withholds
consent to any settlement or other compromise, the Lessee shall not be required
to indemnify such Indemnitee under Section 26.1 or 26.3 to the extent that the
applicable Claim (x) is for legal fees and expenses incurred after the date of
the proposed settlement or (y) results in a judgment in excess of such offered
money settlement.
Each Indemnitee shall at the expense of the Lessee supply the Lessee with
such information and documents reasonably requested by the Lessee as are
necessary or advisable for the Lessee to participate in any action, suit or
proceeding to the extent permitted by Section 26.1 or 26.3. Unless an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no Indemnitee shall enter into
any settlement or other compromise with respect to any Claim which is entitled
to be indemnified under Section 26.1 or 26.3 without the prior written consent
of the Lessee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless such
Indemnitee waives its right to be indemnified under Section 26.1 or 26.3 with
respect to such Claim.
Upon payment in full of any Claim by the Lessee pursuant to Section 26.1 or
26.3 to or on behalf of an Indemnitee, the Lessee, without any further action,
shall be subrogated to any and all claims that such Indemnitee may have relating
thereto (other than claims in respect of insurance policies maintained by such
Indemnitee at its own expense), and such Indemnitee shall execute such
instruments of assignment and conveyance, evidence of claims and payment and
such other documents, instruments and agreements as may be necessary to preserve
any such claims and otherwise cooperate with the Lessee and give such further
assurances as are necessary or advisable to enable the Lessee vigorously to
pursue such claims.
Any amount payable to an Indemnitee pursuant to Section 26.1 or 26.3 shall
be paid to such Indemnitee within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a
written demand therefor from such Indemnitee, accompanied by a written statement
describing in reasonable detail the basis for such indemnity and the computation
of the amount so payable and, if requested by the Lessee, such determination
shall be verified
-37-
<PAGE>
by a nationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to
the Lessee and the Indemnitee at the expense of the Lessee; provided, however,
that if the Lessee has assumed the defense of the related Claim or is paying the
costs of the Indemnitee's defense of the related claim on an ongoing basis, the
Lessee shall not be required to pay such amount to the applicable Indemnitee
until such time as a judgment is entered with respect to such Claim, the
enforcement of which is not stayed or which judgment is not bonded over, or the
Claim is otherwise settled or lost. To the extent the Lessee suffers any losses
or damages as a result of an Indemnitee's failure to provide the Lessee with
prompt notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against any
Indemnitee in accordance with the first sentence of the second paragraph of this
Section 26.4, the amounts of such losses or damages may be offset against the
Lessee's indemnification obligation to such Indemnitee.
XXVI.5. General Tax Indemnity.
(a) Indemnification. The Lessee shall pay and assume liability for,
and does hereby agree to indemnify, protect and defend the Property and all
Tax Indemnitees, and hold them harmless against, all Impositions on an
After Tax Basis.
(b) Contests. If any claim shall be made against any Tax Indemnitee
or if any proceeding shall be commenced against any Tax Indemnitee
(including a written notice of such proceeding) for any Imposition as to
which the Lessee may have an indemnity obligation pursuant to this Section
26.5, or if any Tax Indemnitee shall determine that any Imposition to which
the Lessee may have an indemnity obligation pursuant to this Section 26.5
may be payable, such Tax Indemnitee shall promptly (and in any event,
within 30 days) notify the Lessee in writing (provided that failure to so
notify the Lessee within 30 days shall not alter such Tax Indemnitee's
rights under this Section 26.5 except to the extent such failure precludes
or materially adversely affects the ability to conduct a contest of any
indemnified Taxes) and shall not take any action with respect to such
claim, proceeding or Imposition without the written consent of the Lessee
(such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or unreasonably delayed) for
30 days after the receipt of such notice by the Lessee; provided, however,
that in the case of any such claim or proceeding, if such Tax Indemnitee
shall be required by law or regulation to take action prior to the end of
such 30-day period, such Tax Indemnitee shall in such notice to the Lessee,
so inform the Lessee, and such Tax Indemnitee shall not take any action
with respect to such claim, proceeding or Imposition without the consent of
the Lessee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or unreasonably
delayed) for 10 days after the receipt of such notice by the Lessee unless
the Tax Indemnitee shall be required by law or regulation to take action
prior to the end of such 10-day period.
The Lessee shall be entitled for a period of 30 days from receipt of
such notice from the Tax Indemnitee (or such shorter period as the Tax
Indemnitee has notified the Lessee is required by law or regulation for the
Tax Indemnitee to commence such contest), to request in writing that such
Tax Indemnitee contest the imposition of such Tax, at the Lessee's expense.
If (x) such contest can be pursued in the name of the Lessee and
independently from any other proceeding involving a Tax liability of such
Tax Indemnitee for which the Lessee has not agreed to indemnify such Tax
Indemnitee, (y) such contest must be pursued in the name of the Tax
Indemnitee, but can be pursued independently from any other proceeding
involving a Tax liability of such Tax Indemnitee for which the Lessee has
not agreed to indemnify such Tax Indemnitee or (z) the Tax Indemnitee so
requests, then the Lessee shall be permitted to control the contest of such
claim,
-38-
<PAGE>
provided that in the case of a contest described in clause (y), if the Tax
Indemnitee determines in good faith that such contest by the Lessee could
have a material adverse impact on the business or operations of the Tax
Indemnitee and provides a written explanation to the Lessee of such
determination, the Tax Indemnitee may elect to control or reassert control
of the contest, and provided, that by taking control of the contest, Lessee
acknowledges that it is responsible for the Imposition ultimately
determined to be due by reason of such claim, and provided, further, that
in determining the application of clauses (x) and (y) of the preceding
sentence, each Tax Indemnitee shall take any and all reasonable steps to
segregate claims for any Taxes for which the Lessee indemnifies hereunder
from Taxes for which the Lessee is not obligated to indemnify hereunder, so
that the Lessee can control the contest of the former. In all other claims
requested to be contested by the Lessee, the Tax Indemnitee shall control
the contest of such claim, acting through counsel reasonably acceptable to
the Lessee. In no event shall the Lessee be permitted to contest (or the
Tax Indemnitee required to contest) any claim, (A) if such Tax Indemnitee
provides the Lessee with a legal opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable
to the Lessee that such action, suit or proceeding involves a risk of
imposition of criminal liability or will involve a material risk of the
sale, forfeiture or loss of, or the creation of any Lien (other than a
Permitted Lien or Lessor Lien) on the Property or any part of any thereof
unless the Lessee shall have posted and maintained a bond or other security
reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Tax Indemnitee in respect to such
risk, (B) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing unless the
Lessee shall have posted and maintained a bond or other security reasonably
satisfactory to the relevant Tax Indemnitee in respect of the Taxes subject
to such claim and any and all expenses for which the Lessee is responsible
hereunder reasonably foreseeable in connection with the contest of such
claim, (C) unless the Lessee shall have agreed to pay and shall pay, to
such Tax Indemnitee within ten (10) Business Days after demand all
reasonable out-of-pocket costs, losses and expenses that such Tax
Indemnitee may incur in connection with contesting such Imposition
including all reasonable legal, accounting and investigatory fees and
disbursements, or (D) if such contest shall involve the payment of the Tax
prior to the contest, unless the Lessee shall provide to the Tax Indemnitee
an interest-free advance in an amount equal to the Imposition that the
Indemnitee is required to pay (with no additional net after-tax costs to
such Tax Indemnitee). In addition for Tax Indemnitee controlled contests
and claims contested in the name of the Tax Indemnitee in a public forum,
no contest shall be required: (A) unless the amount of the potential
indemnity (taking into account all similar or logically related claims that
have been or could be raised in any audit involving such Tax Indemnitee for
which the Lessee may be liable to pay an indemnity under this Section
26.5(b)) exceeds $500,000 and (B) unless, if requested by the Tax
Indemnitee, the Lessee shall have provided to the Tax Indemnitee an opinion
of counsel selected by the Lessee (which may be in-house counsel) (except,
in the case of income taxes indemnified hereunder which shall be an opinion
of independent tax counsel selected by the Tax Indemnitee and reasonably
acceptable to the Lessee) that a reasonable basis exists to contest such
claim. In no event shall a Tax Indemnitee be required to appeal an adverse
judicial determination to the United States Supreme Court.
The party conducting the contest shall consult in good faith with the
other party and its counsel with respect to the contest of such claim for
Taxes (or claim for refund) but the decisions regarding what actions to be
taken shall be made by the controlling party in its sole judgement,
provided, however, that if the Tax Indemnitee is the controlling party and
the Lessee recommends the acceptance of a settlement offer made by the
relevant Governmental Authority and such Tax Indemnitee rejects such
settlement offer then the amount for which the Lessee will be required to
indemnify such Tax Indemnitee with respect to the Taxes subject to such
offer shall not exceed the
-39-
<PAGE>
amount which it would have owed if such settlement offer had been accepted.
In addition, the controlling party shall keep the noncontrolling party
reasonably informed as to the progress of the contest, and shall provide
the noncontrolling party with a copy of (or appropriate excerpts from) any
reports or claims issued by the relevant auditing agents or taxing
authority to the controlling party thereof, in connection with such claim
or the contest thereof.
Each Tax Indemnitee shall at the Lessee's expense supply the Lessee
with such information and documents reasonably requested by the Lessee as
are necessary or advisable for the Lessee to participate in any action,
suit or proceeding to the extent permitted by this Section 26.5(b). No Tax
Indemnitee shall enter into any settlement or other compromise or fail to
appeal an adverse ruling with respect to any claim which is entitled to be
indemnified under this Section 26.5 (and with respect to which contest is
required under this Section 26.5(b)) without the prior written consent of
the Lessee, unless such Tax Indemnitee waives its right to be indemnified
under this Section 26.5 with respect to such claim.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, a Tax
Indemnitee will not be required to contest (and the Lessee shall not be
permitted to contest) a claim with respect to the imposition of any Tax if
such Tax Indemnitee shall waive its right to indemnification under this
Section 26.5 with respect to such claim (and any claim with respect to such
year or any other taxable year the contest of which is materially adversely
affected as a result of such waiver).
(c) Reimbursement for Tax Savings. If (x) a Tax Indemnitee or any
Affiliate thereof realizes a deduction, offset, credit or refund of any
Taxes or any other savings or benefit as a result of any indemnity paid by
the Lessee pursuant to this Section 26.5 or (y) by reason of the incurrence
or imposition of any Tax (or the circumstances or event giving rise
thereto) for which a Tax Indemnitee is indemnified hereunder or any payment
made to or for the account of such Tax Indemnitee by the Lessee pursuant to
this Section 26.5 or any payment made by a Tax Indemnitee to the Lessee by
reason of this Section 26.5(c), such Tax Indemnitee at any time actually
realizes a reduction in any Taxes for which the Lessee is not required to
indemnify such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 26.5 which reduction
in Taxes was not taken into account in computing such payment by the Lessee
to or for the account of such Tax Indemnitee or by the Tax Indemnitee to
the Lessee, then such Tax Indemnitee shall promptly pay to the Lessee (xx)
the amount of such deduction, offset, credit, refund, or other savings or
benefit together with the amount of any interest received by such Tax
Indemnitee on account of such deduction, offset, credit, refund or other
savings or benefit or (yy) an amount equal to such reduction in Taxes, as
the case may be, in either case together with an amount equal to any
reduced Taxes payable by such Tax Indemnitee as a result of such payment;
provided that no such payment shall be made so long as a Default or Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing but shall be paid promptly
after cure of such Default or Event of Default. Each Tax Indemnitee agrees
to take such actions as the Lessee may reasonably request (provided in the
good faith judgment of the Tax Indemnitee, such actions would not result in
a material adverse effect on the Tax Indemnitee for which the Tax
Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification from the Lessee) and to
otherwise act in good faith to claim such refunds and other available Tax
benefits, and take such other actions as may be reasonable to minimize any
payment due from the Lessee pursuant to this Section 26.5 and to maximize
the amount of any Tax savings available to it. The disallowance or
reduction of any credit, refund or other tax savings with respect to which
a Tax Indemnitee has made a payment to the Lessee under this Section
26.5(c) shall be treated as a Tax for which the Lessee is
-40-
<PAGE>
obligated to indemnify such Tax Indemnitee hereunder without regard to the
exclusions set forth in the definition of Impositions except the exclusions
set forth in (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (ix), (x), (xi), (xiv) and (xvi) of
such definition.
(d) Payments. Any Imposition indemnifiable under this Section 26.5
shall be paid directly when due to the applicable taxing authority if
direct payment is practicable and permitted. If direct payment to the
applicable taxing authority is not permitted or is otherwise not made, any
amount payable to a Tax Indemnitee pursuant to Section 26.5 shall be paid
within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written demand therefor from
such Tax Indemnitee accompanied by a written statement describing in
reasonable detail the amount so payable, but not before two Business Days
prior to the date that the relevant Taxes are due. Any payments made
pursuant to this Section 26.5 shall be made directly to the Tax Indemnitee
entitled thereto or the Lessee, as the case may be, in immediately
available funds at such bank or to such account as specified by the payee
in written directions to the payor, or, if no such direction shall have
been given, by check of the payor payable to the order of the payee by
certified mail, postage prepaid at its address as set forth in Schedule I
hereto. Upon the request of any Tax Indemnitee with respect to a Tax that
the Lessee is required to pay, the Lessee shall furnish to such Tax
Indemnitee the original or a certified copy of a receipt for the Lessee's
payment of such Tax or such other evidence of payment as is reasonably
acceptable to such Tax Indemnitee.
(e) Reports. In the case of any report, return or statement required
to be filed with respect to any Taxes that are subject to indemnification
under this Section 26.5 and of which the Lessee has knowledge, the Lessee
shall promptly notify the Tax Indemnitee of such requirement and, at the
Lessee's expense (i) if the Lessee is permitted (unless otherwise requested
by the Tax Indemnitee) by Applicable Law, timely file such report, return
or statement in its own name or (ii) if such report, return or statement is
required to be in the name of or filed by such Tax Indemnitee or the Tax
Indemnitee otherwise requests that such report, return or statement for
filing by such Tax Indemnitee in such manner as shall be reasonably
satisfactory to such Tax Indemnitee and send the same to the Tax Indemnitee
for filing no later than 15 days prior to the due date therefor. In any
case in which the Tax Indemnitee will file any such report, return or
statement, the Lessee shall, upon written request of such Tax Indemnitee,
provide such Tax Indemnitee with such information as is reasonably
necessary to allow the Tax Indemnitee to file such report, return or
statement.
(f) Verification. At the Lessee's request, the amount of any
indemnity payment by the Lessee or any payment by a Tax Indemnitee to the
Lessee pursuant to this Section 26.5 shall be verified and certified by an
independent public accounting firm mutually acceptable to the Lessee and
the Tax Indemnitee. The costs of such verification shall be borne by the
Lessee unless such verification shall result in an adjustment in the
Lessee's favor of the lesser of (i) $10,000, and (ii) five (5%) percent of
the payment as computed by the Tax Indemnitee, in which case such fee shall
be paid by the Tax Indemnitee. In no event shall the Lessee have the right
to review the Tax Indemnitee's tax returns or receive any other
confidential information from the Tax Indemnitee in connection with such
verification. Any information provided to such accountants by any Person
shall be and remain the exclusive property of such Person and shall be
deemed by the parties to be (and the accountants will confirm in writing
that they will treat such information as) the private, proprietary and
confidential property of such Person, and no Person other than such Person
and the accountants shall be entitled thereto and all such materials shall
be returned to such Person.
-41-
<PAGE>
Such accounting firm shall be requested to make its determination within 30
days of the Lessee's request for verifications and the computations of the
accounting firm shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Lessee and
the Tax Indemnitee. The parties agree that the sole responsibility of the
independent public accounting firm shall be to verify the amount of a
payment pursuant to this Lease and that matters of interpretation of this
Lease are not within the scope of the independent accounting firm's
responsibilities.
(g) Tax Ownership. The Lessor represents and warrants that it will
not, prior to the termination of this Lease, claim ownership of (or any tax
benefits, including depreciation, with respect to) the Property for any
income tax purposes, it being understood that the Lessee is and will remain
the owner of the Property for such income tax purposes until the
termination of this Lease. If, notwithstanding the income tax intentions
of the parties as set forth herein, the Lessor actually receives any income
tax deductions, reductions in income tax or other income tax benefit as a
result of any claim for, or recharacterization requiring such party to
take, any tax benefits attributable to ownership of the Property for income
tax purposes, the Lessor shall pay to the Lessee, together with an amount
equal to any reduced Taxes payable by such Tax Indemnitee as a result of
such payment, the amount of such income tax savings actually realized by
the Lessor (less the amount of any anticipated increase in income tax which
the Lessor determines is currently payable as a result of such claim or
recharacterization), provided that the Lessee shall agree to reimburse the
Lessor for any subsequent increase in the Lessor's income taxes resulting
from such claim or recharacterization not taken into account in the payment
made to the Lessee, up to the amount paid to the Lessee by the Lessor. The
parties agree that this Section 26.5(g) is intended to require a payment to
the Lessee if and only if the Lessor shall have actually received an
unanticipated tax savings with respect to the Property that would not have
been received if the Lessor had advanced funds to the Lessee in the form of
a loan secured by the Property in an amount equal to the Lease Balance.
Nothing in this Section 26.5(g) shall be construed to require the Lessor to
take any affirmative action to realize any tax savings if in its good faith
judgment such action may have a material adverse affect on the Lessor.
XXVI.6. Funding Losses. If any payment of Rent or the Lease Balance,
including pursuant to the Lessee's exercise of the Purchase Option under Section
22.1, is made on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period
applicable thereto, the Lessee shall reimburse the Lessor within fifteen (15)
days after demand for any actual resulting loss or expense incurred by it,
including any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from
third parties, swaps, hedges or similar transactions entered into in connection
with or in contemplation of transactions relating to the Property, but excluding
loss of margin for the period after any such payment or conversion or failure to
borrow or prepay, provided that the Lessor shall have delivered to the Lessee a
certificate signed by an officer of the Lessor as to the amount of such loss or
expense, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error,
and provided, further, that such loss shall in no event exceed the then
effective Lease Rate which would have been payable for the balance of such
Interest Period. The Lessor will, at the request of the Lessee, furnish such
additional information concerning the determination of such loss as the Lessee
may reasonably request.
XXVI.7. Regulation D Compensation. During the Term, for so long as the
Lessor (or FBTC) is required to maintain reserves against "Eurocurrency
Liabilities" (or any other category of liabilities which include deposits by
reference to which the Lease Rate is determined or any category of extensions of
credit or other assets which includes loans by a non-United States office of the
Lessor to United States residents),
-42-
<PAGE>
and, as a result, the cost to the Lessor (or its Funding Office) of making or
maintaining its Advances is increased, then the Lessor may require the Lessee to
pay, contemporaneously with each payment of Rent, an additional amount at a rate
per annum up to but not exceeding the excess of (i) (A) the applicable
Eurodollar Rate divided by (B) one minus the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements
and (ii) the applicable Eurodollar Rate. In the event that the Lessor wishes to
require payment of such additional amount, the Lessor (x) shall so notify the
Lessee, in which case such additional Rent shall be payable to the Lessor at the
place indicated in such notice with respect to each Interest Period commencing
at least three Business Days after the giving of such notice and (y) shall
furnish to the Lessee at least five Business Days prior to each date on which
Rent is payable a certificate setting forth the amount to which it is then
entitled under this Section (which shall be consistent with its good faith
estimate of the level at which the related reserves are maintained by it). Each
such certificate shall be accompanied by such information as the Lessee may
reasonably request as to the computation set forth therein.
XXVI.8. Deposits Unavailable. If on or prior to the first day of any
Interest Period:
(a) deposits in dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being
offered to the Lessor (or its Affiliates) in the relevant market for such
Interest Period, or
(b) the Lessor advises the Lessee that the Eurodollar Rate as
determined by the Lessor will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to
the Lessor of funding Advances for such Interest Period,
the Lessor shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Lessee, whereupon until
the Lessor notifies the Lessee that the circumstances giving rise to such
suspension no longer exist, the Advance shall begin to bear interest at the
Alternate Base Rate on the last day of the then current Interest Period
applicable thereto. The Lessor shall provide to the Lessee a statement in
writing of the Alternate Base Rate as calculated hereunder.
XXVI.9. Illegality. If, on or after the date hereof, the adoption of any
applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central
bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or compliance by the Lessor (or its Funding Office) with any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority,
central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for the
Lessor (or its Funding Office) to make, maintain or fund the Advance, and the
Lessor shall so notify the Lessee, whereupon until the Lessor notifies the
Lessee that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist,
the obligation to make the Advance shall be suspended. The Lessor, with the
consent of the Lessee (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld), will
designate a different Funding Office if such designation will avoid the need for
giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of the Lessor, be otherwise
disadvantageous to the Lessor. If such notice is given (i) the Lessee shall be
entitled upon its request to a reasonable explanation of the factors underlying
such notice and (ii) the Advance shall begin to bear interest at the Alternate
Base Rate either (a) on the last day of the then current Interest Period
applicable thereto, if the Lessor may lawfully continue to maintain and fund the
Advance to such day or (b) immediately, if the Lessor shall determine that it
may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund the Advance to such day. The
Lessor shall provide to the Lessee a statement in writing of the Alternate Base
Rate as calculated hereunder.
XXVI.10. Increased Cost and Reduced Return.
-43-
<PAGE>
(a) In the event that the adoption of any applicable law, rule or
regulation, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application
thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency
charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or compliance by
the Lessor with any request or directive after the date hereof (whether or
not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or
comparable agency:
(i) does or shall subject the Lessor to any additional tax of
any kind whatsoever with respect to the Operative Documents or the
Advance made by it, or change the basis or the applicable rate of
taxation of payments to the Lessor of principal, interest or any other
amount payable hereunder (except for the imposition of or change in
any tax on or measured by the overall net income of the Lessor (other
than any such tax imposed by means of withholding));
(ii) does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any
reserve, special deposit, insurance assessment, compulsory loan or
similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other
liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other
credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office
of the Lessor which are not otherwise included in determination of the
rate of interest on the Advance; or
(iii) does or shall impose on the Lessor any other condition;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the
Lessor of making or maintaining the Advance or to reduce any amount
receivable hereunder;
then in any such case, the Lessee shall promptly pay to the Lessor,
upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate the Lessor
for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable which the Lessor
deems to be material as determined by the Lessor with respect to the
Advance.
(b) If the Lessor shall have determined that, after the date hereof,
the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital
adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or
comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or
not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or
comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on capital of the Lessor (or any entity directly or indirectly
controlling the Lessor) as a consequence of the Lessor's obligations under
the Operative Documents to a level below that which the Lessor (or any
entity directly or indirectly controlling the Lessor) could have achieved
but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into
consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount
deemed by the Lessor to be material, then from time to time, within fifteen
(15) days after demand by the Lessor, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lessor for such
reduction.
(c) The Lessor will promptly notify the Lessee of any event of which
it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle the
Lessor to compensation pursuant to this Section and will, if practicable,
with the consent of the Lessee (which consent shall not unreasonably be
withheld), designate a different Funding Office or take any other
reasonable
-44-
<PAGE>
action if such designation or action will avoid the need for, or reduce the
amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of the Lessor,
be otherwise disadvantageous to the Lessor. A certificate signed by an
officer of the Lessor claiming compensation under this Section and setting
forth in reasonable detail its computation of the additional amount or
amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error. In determining such amount, the Lessor may use any
reasonable averaging and attribution methods.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) of this Section
26.10, the Lessee shall only be obligated to compensate the Lessor for any
amount arising or accruing both:
(i) during (A) any time or period commencing (x) in the case of
subsection (a), not earlier than the first day of any Interest Period
in effect on the date which, and (y) in the case of subsection (b),
not earlier than the date on which the Lessor notifies the Lessee that
it proposes to demand such compensation and identifies to the Lessee
the statute, regulation or other basis upon which the claimed
compensation is or will be based and (B) any time or period during
which, because of the retroactive application of such statute,
regulation or other basis, the Lessor did not know that such amount
would arise or accrue; and
(ii) within six months prior to any demand therefor, accompanied
by a certificate of the Lessor claiming compensation and setting forth
in reasonable detail its computation of the additional amount or
amounts to be paid to it hereunder.

Operator, which request may be made once per Interest Accrual Period, Lender
shall direct (x) the Cash Collateral Account Bank to invest and reinvest any
balance in the Cash Collateral Account from time to time in Permitted
Investments as instructed by Operator and (y) the Collection Account Bank to
invest and reinvest any balance in the Security Deposit Account from time to
time in Permitted Investments as instructed by Operator, to the extent permitted
by local law; provided, however, that (i) if Operator fails to so instruct
Lender, or if an Event of Default shall have occurred, Lender may direct the
Cash Collateral Account Bank and the Collection Account Bank, as applicable, to
invest and reinvest such balance in Permitted Investments as Lender shall
determine in Lender's sole discretion, (ii) the maturities of any Permitted
Investment on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account shall, to the extent such
dates are ascertainable, be selected and coordinated to become due not later
than the day before any disbursements from the Sub-Accounts must be made, (iii)
all such Permitted Investments shall be held in the name and be under the sole
dominion and control of Lender; (iv) no Permitted Investment shall be made
unless Lender shall retain a perfected first priority Lien in such Permitted
Investment securing the Indebtedness and all filings and other actions necessary
to ensure the validity, perfection, and priority of such Lien have been taken;
(v) Lender shall only be required to follow the investment instructions which
were most recently received by Lender and Borrower and Operator shall be bound
by such last received investment instructions; and (vi) any written request from
Operator containing investment instructions shall contain an Officer's
Certificate from Operator (which may be conclusively relied upon by Lender and
its agents) that any such investments constitute Permitted Investments. It is
the intention of the parties hereto that all amounts deposited in the
<PAGE>
44
Cash Collateral Account and the Security Deposit Account shall at all times be
invested in Permitted Investments. All funds in the Security Deposit Account and
the Cash Collateral Account that are invested in a Permitted Investment are
deemed to be held in such accounts for all purposes of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents. Lender shall have no liability for any loss in investments
of funds in the Security Deposit Account or the Cash Collateral Account that are
invested in Permitted Investments (unless invested contrary to Operator's
request other than after the occurrence of an Event of Default) and no such loss
shall affect Borrower's obligation to fund, or liability for funding, the Cash
Collateral Account and each Sub-Account, as the case may be. Borrower, Operator
and Lender agree that Operator shall include all such earnings and losses (other
than those for Lender's account in accordance with the immediately preceding
sentence) on the Cash Collateral Account as income of Operator for federal and
applicable state tax purposes. Borrower shall be responsible for any and all
fees, costs and expenses with respect to Permitted Investments.
(e) Interest on Accounts. All interest paid or other earnings on the
Permitted Investments made hereunder shall be deposited into the Security
Deposit Account or the Cash Collateral Account, as applicable, and shall be
subject to allocation and distribution like any other monies deposited therein.

Costs, Securitization Expenses, Operating Expenses, Trustee Fees and FBTC
Required Quarterly Payment.
(i) Payment of Basic Carrying Costs. At least five (5) Business Days
prior to the due date of any Basic Carrying Cost, and not more frequently
than once each Interest Accrual Period, Operator shall notify Lender in
writing and request that Lender pay such Basic Carrying Cost on behalf of
Borrower and Operator on or prior to the due date thereof. Together with
each such request, Operator shall furnish Lender with copies of bills and
other documentation as may be reasonably required by Lender to establish
that such Basic Carrying Cost is then due. Lender shall make such payments
out of the Basic Carrying Cost Sub-Account before the same shall be
delinquent to the extent that there are funds available in the Basic
Carrying Cost Sub-Account and Lender has received appropriate documentation
to establish the amount(s) due and the due date(s) as and when provided
above.
(ii) Payment of Debt Service. At or before 12:00 noon, New York City
time, on each Payment Date during the term of the Loan, Lender shall
transfer to Lender's own account from the Debt Service Payment Sub-Account
an amount equal to the Required Debt Service Payment for the applicable
Payment Date. Borrower shall be deemed to have timely made the Required
Debt Service Payment pursuant to Section 2.9
<PAGE>
45
regardless of the time Lender makes such transfer as long as sufficient
funds are on deposit in the Debt Service Payment Sub-Account at 12:00 noon,
New York City time on the applicable Payment Date.
(iii) Payment of Capital Improvement Costs. Not more frequently than
once each Interest Accrual Period and provided that no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, Operator may notify Lender in writing and
request that Lender release to Operator or its designee funds out of the
Capital Reserve Sub-Account to the extent funds are available therein for
payment of Capital Improvement Costs. Together with each such request,
Operator shall furnish Lender with copies of bills and other documentation
as may be reasonably required by Lender to establish that such Capital
Improvement Costs are reasonable, that the work relating thereto has been
completed and that such amounts are then due or have been paid. If Lender
approves of such Capital Improvement Costs, Lender shall release the funds
to Operator or its designee within ten (10) Business Days of Lender's
receipt of Operator's written request. Upon completion of the repairs and
environmental remediation to the Facility itemized on Exhibit C hereto,
Operator may provide Lender with the documentation described in this
paragraph and subject to the terms set forth in this paragraph, Lender
shall release the remainder of the Initial Capital Reserve Amount, to the
extent such funds have not been released to Operator.
(iv) Payment of Securitization Expenses. To the extent funds are
available therein to pay the amounts for which Operator or Borrower is
responsible pursuant to Section 2.14, Lender may release funds out of the
Securitization Expense Sub-Account to (a) pay such amounts or, (b) after
Lender has paid all of the amounts for which Borrower is responsible
pursuant to Section 2.14, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is
then continuing, to remit to Operator all amounts remaining in the
Securitization Expense Sub-Account.
(v) Payment of Operating Expenses. On and after the Optional
Prepayment Date, not more frequently than once each Interest Accrual Period
and provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing,
Lender shall direct the Cash Collateral Account Bank to, within five (5)
Business Days of Lender's receipt of an Operating Expense Certificate from
Operator, such Operating Expense Certificate to be delivered by Operator
not more frequently than once each Interest Accrual Period, transfer funds
to Operator or its designee out of the Operating Expense Sub-Account to the
extent that there are funds available therein in an amount not to exceed
the amount stated in the Operating Expense Certificate up to the Operating

Certificate, Operator shall furnish Lender with an Officer's Certificate
stating that all operating expenses from the
<PAGE>
46
second previous Interest Accrual Period and all Interest Accrual Periods
prior thereto have been paid in full and that such amounts are then due or
have been paid.
(vi) Extra Funds for Operating Expenses. On and after the Optional
Prepayment Date, not more frequently than once each Interest Accrual Period

request to Lender for a disbursement of Extra Funds stating the amount of
such Extra Funds and the purpose for which such amount is intended with
attachments of copies of bills and other documentation as may be required
by Lender to establish that such Operating Expenses are reasonable and that
such amounts are then due or expected to become due in that month. If

withheld), Lender shall release the funds to Operator or its designee
within ten (10) Business Days of Lender's receipt of Operator's written
request.

notify Lender in writing and request Lender to pay to Borrower's Trustee
funds out of the Trustee Expense Sub-Account for the payment of amounts due

request for such amounts (which written request shall be accompanied by
such documentation as Lender may reasonably request).

Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, on each FBTC Payment Date
during the term of the Operator Lease, Lender shall transfer to Borrower by
wire transfer pursuant to instructions given to Lender by Borrower from the

Payment for such FBTC Payment Date plus any FBTC Required Quarterly Payment

(and any interest payable thereon pursuant to the Operator Lease) to FBTC
to the extent that there are funds available in the FBTC Payment Sub-

<PAGE>
47
Period and except as provided below, during the term of the Loan commencing with
the Interest Accrual Period in which the Closing Date occurs (each, the "Current
Interest Accrual Period"), Lender shall allocate all funds then on deposit
(irrespective of whether such funds were transferred by the Collection Account
Bank to the Cash Collateral Account Bank or by Borrower to the Lender pursuant
to Section 2.9(c)) in the Cash Collateral Account among the Sub-Accounts as
follows and in the following priority:
(i) first, to the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account, until an amount
equal to the Basic Carrying Costs Monthly Installment for the Current
Interest Accrual Period has been allocated to the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-
Account;
(ii) second, to the Debt Service Payment Sub-Account, until an
amount equal to the Required Base Debt Service Payment for the Payment Date
immediately after the Current Interest Accrual Period has been allocated to
the Debt Service Payment Sub-Account;
(iii) third, to the Capital Reserve Sub-Account, until an amount
equal to the Capital Reserve Monthly Installment for the Current Interest
Accrual Period has been allocated to the Capital Reserve Sub-Account;
(iv) fourth, to the Securitization Expense Sub-Account, provided,
however, that only the Initial Securitization Expense Amount shall be
allocated to the Securitization Sub-Account;
(v) fifth, to the Trustee Expense Sub-Account until an amount equal
to the Trustee Expense Monthly Installment has been allocated to the
Trustee Expense Sub-Account;
(vi) sixth, on and after the Optional Prepayment Date, or at
Lender's sole election, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, any
date on or after the occurrence of such Event of Default and during the
continuance thereof, to the Operating Expense Sub-Account, until an amount
equal to the Operating Expense Monthly Installment for the Current Interest
Accrual Period has been allocated to the Operating Expense Sub-Account; and
(vii) seventh, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Lender agrees that in each Current Interest Accrual Period any
amounts deposited into or remaining in the Cash Collateral Account after
(A) the minimum amounts set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v)
and (vi) above have been satisfied with respect to the Current Interest
Accrual Period and any periods prior thereto and (B) the
<PAGE>
48
funding of additional reserves at levels determined by Operator to be
prudent for working capital, Capital Improvement Costs and other Borrower
or Operator costs, which levels shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender,
in Lender's reasonable discretion, prior to the Optional Prepayment Date,
to the FBTC Payment Sub-Account, until an amount equal to the FBTC Required
Quarterly Payment for the next FBTC Payment Date plus any FBTC Required
Quarterly Payment that was due and owing on any previous FBTC Payment Date
(plus interest payable thereon pursuant to the Operator Lease) which was
not paid to FBTC has been allocated to the FBTC Payment Sub-Account;
(viii) eighth, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing and (ii) Lender has received all financial information
described in Sections 5.1(a)(Q) and 5.1(b)(Q) for the most recent periods
for which the same are due, Lender agrees that in each Current Interest
Accrual Period any amounts deposited into or remaining in the Cash
Collateral Account after the minimum amounts set forth in clauses (i),
(ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) above have been satisfied with
respect to the Current Interest Accrual Period and any periods prior
thereto, shall be disbursed by Lender on the first Payment Date after the
end of the then Current Interest Accrual Period, at Borrower's expense, to
such account that Operator may request in writing. Lender and its agents
shall not be responsible for monitoring Operator's use of any funds
disbursed from the Cash Collateral Account or any of the Sub-Accounts.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, on and after
the Optional Prepayment Date, any amounts deposited into or remaining in
the Cash Collateral Account after (A) the minimum amounts set forth in
clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) above have been
satisfied with respect to the Current Interest Accrual Period and any
periods prior thereto and (B) the funding of additional reserves at levels
determined by Operator to be prudent for working capital, Capital
Improvement Costs and other Borrower or Operator costs, which levels shall
be reasonably satisfactory to Lender, in Lender's reasonable discretion
(the "Excess Cash Flow"), shall be allocated to the Debt Service Sub-
Account and be applied by Lender on each Payment Date in accordance with
Section 2.8 and shall not be disbursed to Borrower or Operator; and further
provided, however, that if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing any amounts deposited into or remaining in the Cash Collateral
Account shall be for the account of Lender and may be withdrawn by Lender
to be applied to amounts payable by Borrower and/or Operator under the Loan
Documents in any manner as Lender may elect in Lender's sole discretion.
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or if on any
Payment Date the balance in any Sub-Account is insufficient to make the required
payment due from such Sub-Account, Lender may, in its sole discretion, in
addition to any other rights and remedies available hereunder, withdraw funds
from any other Sub-Account to pay such deficiency. In the event that Lender
elects to apply funds of any such Sub-Account to pay any Required Base Debt
Service
<PAGE>
49
Payment, Borrower shall, upon demand, repay to Lender the amount of such
withdrawn funds to replenish such Sub-Account, and if Borrower shall fail to
repay such amounts within two (2) Business Day after notice of such withdrawal,
an Event of Default shall exist hereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, Borrower shall deposit on the Closing Date (i) the
Initial Basic Carrying Costs Amount into the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account,
(ii) the Initial Capital Reserve Amount into the Capital Reserve Sub-Account and
(iii) the Initial Securitization Expense Amount into the Securitization Expense
Sub-Account.
(h) Condemnation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds. In the event of a
Taking with respect to the Facility, Borrower and Operator shall cause all the
proceeds in respect of any Taking ("Condemnation Proceeds") to be paid to the
Lender who shall, except as otherwise provided in the second succeeding sentence
or in Section 2.12(c) of the Mortgage or the Leasehold Mortgage, apply such
Condemnation Proceeds to reduce the Indebtedness in accordance with Section 2.7
and Section 2.8. In the event of a casualty with respect to the Facility, except
as otherwise provided in the next sentence or in Section 2.5 of the Mortgage or
the Leasehold Mortgage, Borrower and Operator, as applicable, shall cause all
Proceeds of any insurance policy maintained by either Borrower or Operator, as
applicable ("Insurance Proceeds") to be paid to the Lender who shall apply such
Insurance Proceeds to reduce the Indebtedness in accordance with Section 2.7 and
Section 2.8. All Insurance Proceeds received by Borrower, Operator or Lender in
respect of business interruption coverage and all Condemnation Proceeds received
in respect of a temporary Taking shall be maintained in the Cash Collateral
Account, to be applied by Lender in the same manner as Rents (other than
security deposits) received from Borrower and/or Operator with respect to the
ownership and/or operation of the Facility; provided, further, that in the event
that the Insurance Proceeds of any such business interruption insurance policy
or Condemnation Proceeds of such temporary Taking are paid in a lump sum in
advance, Lender shall hold such Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds in a
segregated interest-bearing escrow account at the Cash Collateral Account Bank,
and Lender shall estimate the number of months required for Operator to restore
the damage caused by the casualty to the Facility or that the Facility will be
affected by such temporary Taking, as the case may be, shall divide the
aggregate business interruption Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds in
connection with such casualty or temporary Taking by such number of months, and
shall disburse from such escrow account into the Cash Collateral Account each
month during the performance of such restoration or pendency of such temporary
Taking such monthly installment of said Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation
Proceeds. Any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds made available to
Operator for restoration or repair in accordance herewith and with the Mortgage
or Leasehold Mortgage, to the extent not used by Operator in connection with, or
to the extent they exceed the cost of, such restoration, shall be paid to
Operator.
(i) Payment of Basic Carrying Costs. Except to the extent that Lender
is
<PAGE>
50
obligated to pay Basic Carrying Costs from the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account
pursuant to the terms of Section 2.12(f), Borrower and Operator shall pay all
Basic Carrying Costs with respect to themselves and the Facility in accordance
with the provisions of the Mortgages, subject, however, to Borrower's and
Operator's rights to contest payment of same in accordance with the Mortgages.
The obligation of Borrower and Operator to pay (or cause Lender to pay) Basic
Carrying Costs pursuant to this Agreement shall include, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, Impositions resulting from future changes in law which impose
upon Lender an obligation in connection with the Loan to pay any property taxes
or other Impositions or which otherwise adversely affect Lender's interests. In
the event such a change in law prohibits Borrower from assuming liability for
payment of any such Imposition, the outstanding Indebtedness shall, at the sole
option of Lender, become due and payable on the date that is 120 days after such
change in law without payment of a Yield Maintenance Premium and failure to pay
such amounts on the date due shall be an Event of Default. Should an Event of
Default have occurred and be continuing, the proceeds on deposit in the Basic
Carrying Costs Sub-Account may be applied by Lender to amounts Borrower and/or
Operator is obligated to pay under the Loan Documents in any manner as Lender in
its sole discretion may determine.
Section 2.13. Security Agreement. (a) Pledge of Accounts. To
secure the full and punctual payment and performance of all of the Indebtedness,
each of Borrower and Operator hereby sells, assigns, conveys, pledges and
transfers to Lender and grants to Lender a first and continuing security
interest in and to, the following property, whether now owned or existing or
hereafter acquired or arising and regardless of where located (collectively, the
"Account Collateral"):

held in the Cash Collateral Account;
(ii) all of the right, title and interest of Borrower and Operator in
the Collection Account and Security Deposit Account and all Money, if any,

(iii) all interest, dividends, Money, Instruments and other property
from time to time received, receivable or otherwise payable in respect of,
or in exchange for, any of the foregoing; and
(iv) to the extent not covered by clauses (i), (ii), or (iii) above,
all Proceeds and products of any or all of the foregoing.

(b) Covenants. (A) Borrower covenants that (i) all Rents (as defined
in the Mortgage) and Money received by Borrower, shall be deposited by Borrower
directly into the Collection Account or the Security Deposit Account, as

Rent, FBTC Basic Rent and any Supplemental Rent (as each such term is defined in
the Operator Lease) to which Borrower is entitled shall not be deposited in the
Collection Account) and (ii) so long as any portion of the Indebtedness is
outstanding, Borrower shall not open (nor permit Operator or any Person to open)
any other account for the collection of Rents (as defined in the Mortgage),
Money or other items of Gross Revenue, other than a replacement Collection
Account or Security Deposit Account approved by Lender in Lender's reasonable
discretion.

Leasehold Mortgage) and Money received by Operator shall be deposited by
Operator directly into the Collection Account or the Security Deposit Account,

Account or Security Deposit Account approved by Lender in Lender's reasonable
discretion.
(c) Instructions and Agreements. On or before the Closing Date,
Borrower and Operator will submit to the Collection Account Bank for the
Facility a Collection Account Agreement to be executed by the Collection Account
Bank.
(d) Financing Statements; Further Assurances. Borrower and Operator
will execute and deliver to Lender for filing financing statements in connection
with the Account Collateral in the form required to properly perfect Lender's
security interest in the Account Collateral to the extent that it may be
perfected by such a filing. Each of Operator and Borrower agrees that at any
time and from time to time, at the expense of Borrower and/or Operator, Borrower
and Operator shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments, and
take all further action, that Lender may request, in order to perfect and
protect the pledge and security interest granted or purported to be granted
hereby, or to enable Lender to exercise and enforce Lender's rights and remedies
hereunder with respect to, the Account Collateral.
(e) Transfers and Other Liens. Each of Borrower and Operator agrees
that it will not sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Account Collateral
other than pursuant to the terms hereof and of the other Loan Documents, or
create or permit to exist any Lien upon or with respect to all or any of the
Account Collateral, except for the Lien granted to Lender under this Agreement.
<PAGE>

in the custody thereof, Lender shall not have any duty as to any Account
Collateral or any income thereon in its possession or control or in the
possession or control of any agents for, or of Lender, or the preservation of
rights against any Person or otherwise with respect thereto other than the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Lender or its agents, employees or bailees.
Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the
Account Collateral in its possession if the Account Collateral is accorded
treatment substantially equal to that which Lender accords its own property, it
being understood that Lender shall not be liable or responsible for (i) any loss
or damage to any of the Account Collateral, or for any diminution in value
thereof from a loss of, or delay in Lender's acknowledging receipt of, any wire
transfer from the Collection Account Bank or (ii) any loss, damage or diminution
in value by reason of the act or omission of Lender, or Lender's agents,
employees or bailees other than for gross negligence or willful misconduct of
Lender or its agents, employees or bailees.
(g) Lender Appointed Attorney-In-Fact. Each of Borrower and Operator,
respectively, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender as Borrower's
and Operator's true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of
substitution, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default to execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments and to
exercise and enforce every right, power, remedy, option and privilege of
Borrower and Operator with respect to the Account Collateral, and do in the
name, place and stead of Borrower and Operator, all such acts, things and deeds
for and on behalf of and in the name of Borrower and Operator with respect to
the Account Collateral, which Borrower and Operator could or might do or which
Lender may deem necessary or desirable to more fully vest in Lender the rights
and remedies provided for herein with respect to the Account Collateral and to
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement. The foregoing powers of attorney are

reasonably requested by Borrower or Operator to evidence such termination and
the release of the pledge and Lien hereof, provided, however, that Borrower
shall pay within ten (10) calendar days following written demand all of Lender's
expenses in connection therewith.
<PAGE>
53
Section 2.14. Securitization. Each of Operator and Borrower hereby
acknowledges that Lender, its successors or assigns, may sell or securitize the
Loan or portions thereof in one or more transactions through the issuance of
securities, which may be rated by the Rating Agencies (each, a "Securitization";
collectively, the "Securitizations"). Each of Operator and Borrower,
respectively, agrees that it shall reasonably cooperate with Lender and use its
best efforts to facilitate the consummation of each Securitization including,
but not limited to, by (a) amending or causing the amendment of this Agreement,
and the other Loan Documents, and executing such additional documents including
amendments to Borrower's or Operator's organizational documents (provided such
additional documents and amendments do not materially expand Borrower's or
Operator's economic obligations hereunder) and preparing financial statements as
requested by the Rating Agencies to conform the terms of the Loan to the terms
of similar loans underlying completed or pending securitized transactions having
or seeking ratings the same as those then being sought in connection with the
relevant Securitization and; (b) promptly and reasonably providing such
information as may be reasonably requested in connection with the preparation of
a private placement memorandum or a registration statement required to privately
place or publicly distribute the securities in a manner which does not conflict

entitled "Special Considerations," "Description of the Mortgage Loan" and "The

Aspects of the Mortgage Loan," and such sections (and any other sections
reasonably requested) insofar as they relate to Borrower or Operator, their
respective Affiliates, the Loan or the Facility do not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order
to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading, provided, however, that Operator shall not be
required to indemnify Lender for any losses relating to untrue statements or
omissions which Operator identified to Lender in writing at the time of
Operator's examination of such memorandum or prospectus as applicable, and (y)
indemnifying Lender (and its officers, directors, partners, employees,
affiliates and agents and each other person, if any, controlling Lender or any
of its affiliates within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended), the Issuer and the Advisor for any losses, claims, damages, costs,

them may become subject (i) insofar as the Liabilities arise directly out of or
are based
<PAGE>
54
directly upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material
fact relating to Operator, Borrower, their respective Affiliates, the Loan, the
Facility, or any aspect of the subject financing or the parties directly
involved therein contained in such sections or arise out of or are based upon
the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated in such sections or necessary in order to make the statements in such
sections, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading or (ii) as a result of any untrue statement of material fact in any
of the financial statements of Operator or Borrower incorporated into any
placement memorandum, prospectus, registration statement or other document
connected with the issuance of securities or the failure to include in such
financial statements or in any placement memorandum, prospectus, registration
statement or other document connected with the issuance of securities any
material fact relating to Borrower, Operator, their respective Affiliates, the
Facility, the Loan, and any aspect of the subject financing necessary in order
to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading; provided that Operator shall have had an opportunity
to review and comment upon the relevant portions of such documents and
Operator's comments thereon have been incorporated therein or otherwise
addressed to Operator's reasonable satisfaction; and (z) agreeing to reimburse
Lender, the Issuer and the Advisor for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by Lender, the Issuer and the Advisor in connection with investigating
or defending the Liabilities; (b) causing to be rendered such customary opinion
letters as shall be reasonably requested by the Rating Agencies for other
securitizations having or seeking ratings comparable to that then being sought

Rating Agencies or otherwise required in connection with the formation of a
REMIC; and (e) providing any other information and materials required in the
Securitization process. Subject to Lender's application of funds in the
Securitization Expense Sub-Account, Operator agrees to pay on the Securitization
Closing Date and, if earlier, within thirty (30) days after the incurrence
thereof, within ten (10) calendar days following demand, all of Operator's pro
rata share of reasonable out-of-pocket costs of Lender (and not previously
reimbursed by Borrower or Operator) in connection with the Securitization (or
any attempt to securitize the Loan), including, without limitation, the cost of
preparing a private placement memorandum or prospectus, Rating Agency fees and
expenses (including ongoing surveillance fees), legal fees and disbursements
(including without limitation, in connection with the rendering of legal
opinions), third party due diligence expenses, including appraisals, engineering
reports and environmental reports, the fees and expenses of any trustee,
servicer or special servicer, including any ongoing servicing or special
servicing fees, and the cost of market studies and SEC filing fees
(collectively, "Securitization Costs"), provided, however, that Operator's
liability for Securitization Costs shall not exceed the Initial Securitization
Expense Amount. Each of Borrower and Operator acknowledges and agrees that
<PAGE>
55
the Lender may, at any time on or after the Closing Date, assign its duties,
rights or obligations hereunder or under any Loan Document in whole, or in part,
to a servicer and/or a trustee in Lender's discretion. Nothing herein shall in
any way limit Lender's right to sell all or a portion of the Loan in a
transaction which is not a Securitization.

current purpose. Except as otherwise disclosed by the Surveys, all public
utilities necessary to the continued use and enjoyment of the Facility as
presently used and enjoyed are located in the public right-of-way abutting the
premises, and all such utilities are connected so as to serve the Facility
either (i) without passing over other property or, (ii) if such utilities pass
over other property, pursuant to valid easements. All roads necessary for the
full utilization of the Facility for its current purpose have been completed and
dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities or are the
subject of access easements for the benefit of the Facility.
(U) Environmental Compliance. Operator represents, warrants and covenants,
as to itself and the Facility:
(i) Except as shown on the Environmental Reports delivered to Lender
prior to the Closing Date, Operator and the Facility are in compliance in all
material respects with all applicable Environmental Laws in effect as of the
date hereof, which compliance includes, but is not limited to, the possession by
Borrower or the Operator, as applicable, of and compliance with all
environmental, health and safety Permits, licenses and other governmental
authorizations required in connection with the ownership and operation of the
Facility under all Environmental Laws, except where the failure to comply with

prior to the Closing Date, there is no Environmental Claim pending or, to
Operator's knowledge, threatened, and no penalties arising under Environmental
Laws have been assessed against Operator or, to Operator's knowledge, the
Borrower or the Facility or against any Person whose liability for any
Environmental Claim Operator has or may have retained or assumed either
contractually or by operation of law, and no investigation or review is pending
or, to the knowledge of Operator, threatened by any Governmental Authority,
citizens group, employee or other Person with respect to any alleged failure by
Borrower, Operator, or the Facility to have any environmental, health or safety
permit, license or other authorization required under, or to otherwise comply
with, any Environmental Law in effect as of the date hereof or with respect to
any alleged liability of Borrower or Operator for any Use or Release of any
Hazardous Substances in violation of any Environmental Law in effect as of the
Closing Date or the presence, Use, or Release of any Hazardous Substances at,
on, in, under, or from any Facility in
<PAGE>
73
violation of any Environmental Law in effect as of the Closing Date.
(iii) To the knowledge of Operator, except as may be disclosed on the
Environmental Reports delivered to Lender prior to the Closing Date, there have
been and are no past or present Releases or threats of Release of any Hazardous
Substance that are likely to form the basis of any Environmental Claim against
Borrower, Operator, the Facility or, to Operator's knowledge, against any Person
whose liability for any Environmental Claim Operator has or may have retained or
assumed either contractually or by operation of law.
(iv) To the knowledge of Operator and except as disclosed in the
Environmental Reports, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, there
is not present at, on, in or under the Facility, PCB-containing equipment,
asbestos or asbestos containing materials, underground or aboveground storage
tanks or surface impoundments for Hazardous Substances, lead in drinking water
(except in concentrations that comply with all Environmental Laws), or lead-
based paint (nor have there been any underground storage tanks present at, on,
in, or under the Facility) in violation of any Environmental Laws in effect as
of the Closing Date.
(v) No Liens are presently recorded with the appropriate land records
under or pursuant to any Environmental Law with respect to the Facility and, to
Operator's knowledge, no Governmental Authority has been taking or is in the
process of taking any action that could subject the Facility to Liens under any
Environmental Law.
(vi) There have been no environmental investigations, studies, audits,
reviews or other analyses conducted by or on behalf of Borrower or Operator that
are in the possession or control of Operator in relation to the Facility which
have not been provided to Lender.
(vii) Except as disclosed in the Environmental Report, no conditions
exist on the Facility which would require Borrower or Operator under any
Environmental Laws in effect as of the Closing Date to place a notice on any
deed to the Facility with respect to the presence, Use or Release of Hazardous
Substances at, on, in, under or from the Facility and the Facility has no such
notice in its deed.
(V) No Joint Assessment; Separate Lots. Operator has not permitted or
initiated the joint assessment of the Facility (i) with any other real property
constituting a separate tax lot, and (ii) with any portion of the Facility which
may be deemed to constitute personal property, or any other procedure whereby
the lien of any taxes which may be levied against such personal property shall
be assessed or levied or charged to the Facility
<PAGE>
74
as a single lien. The Facility is comprised of one or more parcels, each of
which constitutes a separate tax lot and none of which constitutes a portion of
any other tax lot.
(W) Assessments. Except as disclosed in the Title Insurance Policy, there
are no pending or, to the knowledge of Operator, proposed special or other
assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting the Facility, nor, to
the knowledge of Operator, are there any contemplated improvements to the
Facility that may result in such special or other assessments.
(X) Mortgages and Other Liens. The Leasehold Mortgage creates a valid and
enforceable first mortgage Lien on the Operator's leasehold title to the
Facility as security for the repayment of the Indebtedness, subject only to the
Permitted Encumbrances applicable to the Facility. Each Collateral Security
Instrument executed by Operator establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and
enforceable Lien on and a security interest in, or claim to, the rights and
property described therein. All property covered by such Collateral Security
Instrument which is subject to the UCC is subject to a UCC financing statement
filed and/or recorded, as appropriate, (or irrevocably delivered to an agent for
such recordation or filing) in all places necessary to perfect a valid first
priority Lien with respect to the rights and property that are the subject of
such Collateral Security Instrument to the extent governed by the UCC.
(Y) Enforceability. The Loan Documents executed by Operator in connection
with the Loan, including, without limitation, any Collateral Security Instrument
executed by Operator, are the legal, valid and binding obligations of Operator,
enforceable against Operator in accordance with their terms, subject to
bankruptcy, insolvency and other limitations on creditors' rights generally and
to equitable principles. Such Loan Documents are, as of the Closing Date, not
subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by
Operator, including the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the
terms of the Note, the Mortgages, or such other Loan Documents, or the exercise
of any right thereunder, render the Leasehold Mortgage unenforceable against
Operator, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off,
counterclaim or defense by Operator, including the defense of usury, and
Operator has not asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or
defense with respect thereto.
(Z) No Liabilities. Operator has no liabilities or obligations including
without limitation Contingent Obligations (and including, without limitation,
liabilities or obligations in tort, in contract, at law, in equity, pursuant to
a statute or regulation, or otherwise) other than those liabilities and
obligations expressly permitted by this Agreement.
<PAGE>

or any portion of the Rent due and payable with respect to such Leases or
to become due and payable which are presently outstanding.
(BB) Certificate of Occupancy. Operator has obtained (in its own name
and/or in the Borrower's name, as applicable and in any event, in the name
of the Person(s) as required under all applicable Legal Requirements) all

Section 3.1(S), and all such Permits are in full force and effect. The use
being made of the Facility is in conformity in all respects with the
certificate of occupancy and/or Permits for the Facility and any other
restrictions, covenants or conditions affecting the Facility. Each
Facility contains all Equipment necessary to use and operate such Facility
as described in Section 3.1(S) in a manner consistent with the standards
applicable to properties of a similar nature in the geographic area in
which the Facility is located and in any event not less than the standards
applied by Affiliates of Operator for other comparable properties owned or
leased by such Affiliates in such geographic area.
(CC) Flood Zone. Except as shown on the Survey, the Facility is not
located in a special flood hazard area as defined by the Federal Insurance
Administration.
(DD) Physical Condition. Except as disclosed in the Engineering
Reports, the Facility is free of material structural defects and all

marks that Operator owns or has pending, or under which it is licensed, are
in good standing and uncontested. There is no trademark, trade name or
service mark necessary to the business of Operator as presently conducted
or as Operator contemplates conducting its business. Operator has not
infringed, is not infringing, and has not received notice of infringement
with respect to asserted trademarks, trade names and service marks of
others. To Operator's knowledge, there is no infringement by others of
trademarks, trade names and service marks of Operator.

"also known as," "doing business as" or under any other name provided,
however, that the Facility is operated under the name "The Classic at West
Palm Beach."
(HH) Title Insurance. The Facility is covered by either an American
Land Title Association (ALTA) mortgagee's title insurance policy, or a
commitment to issue such a title insurance policy, insuring a valid first
lien on the Facility, which is in full force and effect and is freely
assignable to and will inure to the benefit of Lender and any successor or
assignee of Lender, including but not limited to the trustee in a
Securitization, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances.
(II) Tax Fair Market Value. The Loan Amount with respect to the
Facility does not exceed the Tax Fair Market Value of the Facility. If a
Note with respect to the Facility is significantly modified prior to the
closing date of a Securitization so as to result in a taxable exchange
under Code Section 1001, Operator will, if requested by Lender, represent
that the amount of such Note does not exceed the Tax Fair Market Value of
the Facility as of the date of such significant modification.

ARTICLE V
AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS
Section 5.1. Borrower and Operator Covenants. (a) Borrower covenants
and agrees that, from the date hereof and until payment in full of the
Indebtedness:
(A) Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements; Insurance.
Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve,
renew and keep in full force and effect its Entity existence, rights,
licenses, Permits and franchises necessary for the conduct of its business
and comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements
applicable to it. Borrower shall notify Lender promptly of any written
notice or order that Borrower receives from any Governmental Authority
relating to Borrower's or the Facility's failure to comply with such
applicable Legal Requirements and promptly take any and all actions
necessary to bring itself into compliance in all material respects with
applicable Legal Requirements (and shall comply in all materials respects
with the requirements of such Legal Requirements that at any time are
applicable to its ownership of the Facility) provided, that Borrower at its
expense may, after prior notice to the Lender, contest by appropriate
legal, administrative or other proceedings conducted in good faith and with
due diligence, the validity or application, in whole or in part, of any
such applicable Legal Requirements as long as (i) neither the applicable
Collateral nor any part thereof or any interest therein, will be sold,
forfeited or lost if Borrower pays the amount or satisfies the condition
being contested, and Borrower would have the opportunity to do so, in the
event of Borrower's failure to prevail in the contest, (ii) Lender would
not, by virtue of such permitted contest, be exposed to any risk of any
civil liability for which Borrower has not furnished additional security as
provided in clause (iii) below, or to any risk of criminal liability, and
neither the applicable Collateral nor any interest therein would be subject
to the imposition of any Lien as a result of the failure to comply with
such Legal Requirement or of such proceeding and (iii) Borrower shall have
furnished to the Lender additional security in respect of the claim being
<PAGE>
80
contested or the loss or damage that may result from Borrower's failure to
prevail in such contest in such amount as may be reasonably requested by
Lender but in no event less than one hundred and twenty five percent (125%)
of the amount of such claim. Borrower shall at all times maintain, preserve
and protect all franchises and trade names and preserve all the remainder
of its property necessary for the continued ownership of the Facility.
(B) Impositions and Other Claims. Borrower shall pay and discharge or
cause to be paid and discharged all Impositions, as well as all lawful

of any litigation or governmental proceedings pending or threatened against
Borrower which is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(D) Environmental Remediation. Unless otherwise required by law,
Environmental Laws or any Governmental Authority, Borrower shall not
undertake any Remedial Work, nor enter into any settlement agreement,
consent decree or other compromise relating to any Hazardous Substances or
Environmental Laws which is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the presence or threatened
presence or Release of Hazardous Substances at, on, in, under, from or
about the Facility poses an immediate threat to the health, safety or
welfare of any Person or the environment, or is of such a nature that an
immediate response is necessary, Borrower may complete all necessary
Remedial Work. In such events, Borrower shall notify Lender as soon as
practicable and, in any event, within three Business Days, of any action
taken.
(E) Environmental Matters; Inspection.
(i) Borrower shall not cause or authorize a Hazardous Substance
to be present at, on, in, under or to emanate from the Facility, or migrate
from adjoining property controlled by Borrower onto or into the Facility in
violation of any Environmental Law, except under conditions permitted by
applicable Environmental Laws and, in the event that such Hazardous
Substances are present at, on, in, under or emanate from the Facility, or
migrate onto or into the Facility, Borrower shall cause the performance of
Remedial Work, removal or remediation of such Hazardous Substances, in
accordance with this Agreement and Environmental Laws.
(ii) Lender shall have the right at all reasonable times after
ten (10)
<PAGE>

of tenants therein to enter upon and inspect all or any portion of the
Facility. If Lender has reason to believe that Remedial Work may be
required, Lender may select or may require Operator to select a consulting
environmental Engineer reasonably satisfactory to Lender to conduct and
prepare environmental reports assessing the environmental condition of the
Facility. Lender shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review any
reports, data and other documents or materials reviewed or prepared by the
environmental Engineer. The inspection rights granted to Lender in this
Section 5.1(a)(E) shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any
other inspection rights granted to Lender in the Loan Documents, and shall
expressly include the right (if Lender has reason to suspect that Remedial
Work may be required) to conduct or require Operator to conduct soil
borings, establish ground water monitoring wells and conduct other
customary environmental tests, assessments and audits.
(F) Environmental Notices. Borrower shall promptly provide notice to
Lender of:
(i) any Environmental Claim asserted or threatened (in writing)
by any Governmental Authority or other Person with respect to any Hazardous
Substance at, on, in, under or emanating from the Facility, to which

value of Lender's security interests hereunder or have a Material Adverse
Effect;
(ii) any Environmental Claim or proceeding, investigation or
inquiry commenced or threatened in writing by any Person or Governmental
Authority, against Borrower, with respect to the presence, suspected
presence, Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Substances from or
onto, in or under any property not owned by Borrower, including, without
limitation, proceedings under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. (S) 9601, et seq.,
which could reasonably be expected to impair the value of Lender's security
interests hereunder or have a Material Adverse Effect;
(iii) all Environmental Claims asserted or threatened against
Borrower, against any other party occupying the Facility or any portion
thereof or against the Facility which become known to Borrower, which could
reasonably be expected to impair the value of Lender's security interests
hereunder or have a Material Adverse Effect;
(iv) the discovery by Borrower of any occurrence or condition on
the Facility or on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the
Facility which could
<PAGE>
82
reasonably be expected to lead to an Environmental Claim against Borrower
or Lender which such Environmental Claim is reasonably likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect; and
(v) the commencement or completion of any Remedial Work by
Borrower.
(G) Copies of Notices. Borrower shall immediately transmit to Lender
copies of any citations, orders, notices or other written communications
received from any Person or any Governmental Authority and any notices,
reports or other written communications submitted to any Governmental
Authority with respect to the matters described in Section 5.1(a)(F).
(H) Environmental Claims. Lender may join and participate in, as a
party if Lender so determines, any legal or administrative proceeding or
action concerning the Facility or any portion thereof under any
Environmental Law, if, in Lender's reasonable judgment, the interests of
Lender will not be adequately protected by Borrower or Operator.
(I) Environmental Waiver. Borrower waives and releases Lender from
any rights or defenses Borrower may have against Lender under common law or
Environmental Laws for liability arising from or resulting from the
presence, Use or Release of Hazardous Substances except to the extent
directly caused by the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of
Lender.
(J) Access to Facility. Subject to the terms of Section 8.2 of the

of Lender to inspect the Facility or any part thereof at such reasonable
times as may be requested by Lender upon advance notice.

material adverse change in Borrower's condition, financial or otherwise, or
of the occurrence of any Default of which the Borrower has knowledge or
Event of Default of which Borrower has knowledge.
(L) Cooperate in Legal Proceedings. Except with respect to any claim
by Borrower against Lender, Borrower shall cooperate with Lender with
respect to any proceedings before any Governmental Authority which may in
any way affect the rights of Lender hereunder or any rights obtained by
Lender under any of the Loan Documents and, in connection therewith, not
prohibit Lender, at its election, from participating in any
<PAGE>
83
such proceedings.
(M) Perform Loan Documents. Borrower shall observe, perform and
satisfy all the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions required to be
observed, performed or satisfied by it, and shall pay when due all costs,
fees and expenses required to be paid by it, under the Loan Documents
executed and delivered by Borrower.
(N) Insurance Benefits. Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in
obtaining for Lender the benefits of any Insurance Proceeds lawfully or
equitably payable to Lender in connection with the Facility, and Lender
shall be reimbursed for any reasonable expenses incurred in connection
therewith (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) and the
payment by Borrower of the expense of an Appraisal on behalf of Lender in
case of a fire or other casualty affecting the Facility or any part thereof
out of such Insurance Proceeds, all as more specifically provided in the
Mortgage.

(b) Operator covenants and agrees that, from the date hereof and until
payment in full of the Indebtedness:
(A) Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements; Insurance.
Operator shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve,
renew and keep in full force and effect its Entity existence, rights,
Licenses, Permits and franchises necessary for the conduct of its business
and comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements
and Insurance Requirements applicable to it and the Facility. Operator
shall notify Lender promptly of any written notice or order that Operator
receives from any Governmental Authority relating to Operator's failure to
comply with such applicable Legal Requirements relating to the Facility and
promptly take any and all actions necessary to bring itself and its
operations at the Facility into compliance in all material respects with
such applicable Legal Requirements (and shall comply in all material
respects with the requirements of such Legal Requirements that at any time
are applicable to its operations at the Facility) provided, that Operator
at its expense may, after prior notice to the Lender, contest by
appropriate legal, administrative or other proceedings conducted in good
faith and with due diligence, the validity or application, in whole or in
part, of any such applicable Legal Requirements as long as (i) neither the
applicable Collateral nor any part thereof or any interest therein, will be
sold, forfeited or lost if Operator pays the amount or satisfies the
condition being contested, and Operator would have the opportunity to do
so, in the event of Operator's failure to prevail in the contest, (ii)
Lender would not, by virtue of such permitted contest, be exposed to any
risk of any civil liability for which Operator has not furnished additional
security as provided in clause (iii) below, or to any risk of criminal
liability, and neither the applicable Collateral nor any interest therein
would be subject to the imposition of any Lien as a result of the failure
to comply with such Legal Requirement or of such proceeding and (iii)
Operator shall have furnished to the Lender additional security in respect
of the claim being contested or the loss or damage that may result from
Operator's failure to prevail in such contest in such amount as may be
reasonably requested by Lender but in no event less than one hundred and
twenty five percent (125%) of the amount of such claim. Operator shall at
all times maintain, preserve and protect all franchises and trade names and
preserve all the remainder of its property necessary for the continued
conduct of its business and keep the Facility in good repair, working order
and condition, except for reasonable wear and use, and from time to time
make, or cause to be made, all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements,
betterments and improvements thereto, all as more fully provided in the
Mortgages. Operator shall keep the Facility insured at all times, by

financially sound and reputable insurers, to such extent and against such
risks, and maintain liability and such other insurance, as is more fully
provided herein and in the Mortgages.
(B) Impositions and Other Claims. Operator shall pay and discharge or
cause to be paid and discharged all Impositions, as well as all lawful

(C) Litigation. Operator shall give prompt written notice to Lender
of any litigation or governmental proceedings pending or threatened against
Operator which is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
<PAGE>
88
(D) Environmental Remediation.
(i) If any investigation, site monitoring, cleanup, removal,
abatement, restoration remedial work or other response action of any kind
or nature is required pursuant to an order or directive of any Governmental
Authority or under any applicable Environmental Law (collectively, the
"Remedial Work"), because of or in connection with the (x) past, present or
future presence, suspected presence, Release or threatened Release of a
Hazardous Substance at, on, in, under or from the Facility or any portion
thereof or (y) violation of or compliance with applicable Environmental
Laws, Operator shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute to
completion all such Remedial Work. In all events, such Remedial Work shall
be commenced within the time period ordered or directed by such
Governmental Authority or such shorter period as may be required under any
applicable Environmental Law; provided, however, that Operator shall not be
required to commence such Remedial Work within the above specified time
periods: (x) if prevented from doing so by any Governmental Authority, (y)
if commencing such Remedial Work within such time periods would result in
Operator or such Remedial Work violating any Environmental Law or (z) if
Operator, at its expense and after prior notice to Lender, is contesting by
appropriate legal, administrative or other proceedings, conducted in good
faith and with due diligence, the need to perform Remedial Work, as long as
(1) Operator is permitted by the applicable Environmental Laws to delay
performance of the Remedial Work pending such proceedings, (2) neither the
Facility nor any part thereof or interest therein will be sold, forfeited
or lost if Operator performs the Remedial Work being contested, and
Operator would have the opportunity to do so, in the event of Operator's
failure to prevail in the contest, (3) Lender would not, by virtue of such
permitted contest, be exposed to any risk of any civil liability for which
Operator has not furnished additional security as provided in clause (4)
below, or to any risk of criminal liability, and neither the Facility nor
any interest therein would be subject to the imposition of any Lien for
which Operator has not furnished additional security as provided in clause
(4) below, as a result of the failure to perform such Remedial Work and (4)
Operator shall have furnished to Lender additional security in respect of
the Remedial Work being contested and the loss or damage that may result
from Operator's failure to prevail in such contest in such amount as may be
reasonably requested by Lender but in no event less than 125% of the cost
of such Remedial Work and any loss or damage that may result from
Operator's failure to prevail in such contest.
(ii) All Remedial Work under clause (i) above shall be performed
by contractors, and under the supervision of a consulting environmental
Engineer, each approved in advance by Lender which approval will not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. All costs and expenses incurred in
connection with such Remedial Work shall
<PAGE>
89
be paid by Operator. If Operator does not timely commence and diligently
prosecute to completion the Remedial Work, Lender may (but shall not be
obligated to), upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to Operator of its
intention to do so, cause such Remedial Work to be performed. Operator
shall pay or reimburse Lender within ten (10) calendar days following
written demand for all Advances (as defined in the Mortgages) and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) relating to or
incurred by Lender in connection with monitoring, reviewing or performing
any Remedial Work in accordance herewith.
(iii) Unless otherwise required by law, Environmental Laws or
any Governmental Authority, Operator shall not commence any Remedial Work
under clause (i) above, nor enter into any settlement agreement, consent
decree or other compromise relating to any Hazardous Substances or
Environmental Laws which is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the presence or threatened
presence or Release of Hazardous Substances at, on, in, under, from or
about the Facility poses an immediate threat to the health, safety or
welfare of any Person or the environment, or is of such a nature that an
immediate response is necessary, Operator may complete all necessary
Remedial Work. In such events, Operator shall notify Lender as soon as
practicable and, in any event, within three (3) Business Days, of any
action taken.
(E) Environmental Matters; Inspection.
(i) Operator shall not cause, allow or authorize a Hazardous
Substance to be present at, on, in, under or to emanate from the Facility,
or migrate from adjoining property controlled by Operator onto or into the
Facility in violation of any Environmental Law, except under conditions
permitted by applicable Environmental Laws and, in the event that such
Hazardous Substances are present at, on, in, under or emanate from the
Facility, or migrate onto or into the Facility, Operator shall cause the
performance of Remedial Work, removal or remediation of such Hazardous
Substances, in accordance with this Agreement and Environmental Laws.
Operator shall use reasonable efforts to prevent, and to seek the
remediation of, any migration of Hazardous Substances onto or into the
Facility from any adjoining property in violation of any Environmental Law.
(ii) Lender shall have the right at all reasonable times after
ten (10) calendar days' prior written notice to Operator and subject to the
rights of tenants therein to enter upon and inspect all or any portion of
the Facility. If Lender has reason to believe that Remedial Work may be
required, Lender may select or may require Operator to select a consulting
environmental Engineer reasonably satisfactory to Lender to
<PAGE>
90
conduct and prepare environmental reports assessing the environmental
condition of the Facility. Lender shall be given a reasonable opportunity
to review any reports, data and other documents or materials reviewed or
prepared by the environmental Engineer. The inspection rights granted to
Lender in this Section 5.1(b)(E) shall be in addition to, and not in
limitation of, any other inspection rights granted to Lender in the Loan
Documents, and shall expressly include the right (if Lender has reason to
suspect that Remedial Work may be required) to conduct or require Operator
to conduct soil borings, establish ground water monitoring wells and
conduct other customary environmental tests, assessments and audits.
(iii) Operator agrees to bear and shall pay or reimburse Lender
within ten (10) calendar days following written demand for all sums
advanced and expenses incurred (including reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements, but excluding internal overhead, administrative and similar
costs of Lender) relating to, or incurred by Lender in connection with, the
inspections and reports described in this Section 5.1(b)(E) in the
following situations:
(x) If Lender has reasonable grounds to believe, at the time any
such inspection is ordered, that there exists an occurrence or
condition that could lead to an Environmental Claim;
(y) If any such inspection reveals an occurrence or condition
that could lead to an Environmental Claim;
(z) If an Event of Default with respect to the Facility exists
at the time any such inspection is ordered, and such Event of Default
relates to any representation, covenant or other obligation pertaining
to Hazardous Substances, Environmental Laws or any other environmental
matter.
(F) Environmental Notices. Operator shall promptly provide notice to
Lender of:
(i) any Environmental Claim asserted or threatened (in writing)
by any Governmental Authority or other Person with respect to any Hazardous
Substance at, on, in, under or emanating from the Facility, which could
reasonably be expected to impair the value of Lender's security interests
hereunder or have a Material Adverse Effect;
(ii) any Environmental Claim or proceeding, investigation or
inquiry commenced or threatened in writing by any Person or Governmental
Authority, against
<PAGE>
91
Operator, with respect to the presence, suspected presence, Release or
threatened Release of Hazardous Substances from or onto, in or under any
property not owned by Operator, including, without limitation, proceedings
under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. (S) 9601, et seq., which could reasonably be
expected to impair the value of Lender's security interests hereunder or
have a Material Adverse Effect;
(iii) all Environmental Claims asserted or threatened against
Operator, against any other party occupying the Facility or any portion
thereof or against the Facility which become known to Operator, which could
reasonably be expected to impair the value of Lender's security interests
hereunder or have a Material Adverse Effect;
(iv) the discovery by Operator of any occurrence or condition on
the Facility or on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the
Facility which could reasonably be expected to lead to an Environmental
Claim against Operator or Lender which such Environmental Claim is
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect; and
(v) the commencement or completion of any Remedial Work.
(G) Copies of Notices. Operator shall immediately transmit to Lender
copies of any citations, orders, notices or other written communications
received from any Person or any Governmental Authority and any notices,
reports or other written communications submitted to any Governmental
Authority with respect to the matters described in Section 5.1(b)(F).
(H) Environmental Claims. Lender may join and participate in, as a
party if Lender so determines, any legal or administrative proceeding or
action concerning the Facility or any portion thereof under any
Environmental Law, if, in Lender's reasonable judgment, the interests of
Lender will not be adequately protected by Operator. Operator agrees to
bear and shall pay or reimburse Lender within ten (10) calendar days
following written demand for all reasonable sums advanced and reasonable
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements), incurred
by Lender in connection with any such action or proceeding.
(I) Indemnification. Operator agrees to indemnify, reimburse, defend
(with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lender) and hold harmless Lender
for, from, and against all demands, claims, actions or causes of action,
assessments, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including,
without limitation, interest, penalties, consequential damages, attorneys'
fees, disbursements and expenses, and consultants'
<PAGE>
92
fees, disbursements and expenses, including costs of Remedial Work
(collectively, "Losses") asserted against, resulting to, imposed on, or
incurred by Lender, directly or indirectly, in connection with any of the
following:
(i) events, circumstances, or conditions which are alleged to,
or do, form the basis for an Environmental Claim;
(ii) the presence, Use or Release of Hazardous Substances at,
on, in, under or from the Facility, which presence, Use or Release requires
or would reasonably likely require Remedial Work;
(iii) any Environmental Claim against Operator, Lender, or any
Person whose liability for such Environmental Claim Operator has or may
have assumed or retained either contractually or by operation of law; or
(iv) the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant set
forth in Section 4.1(b)(U), 4.1(d)(U) and Sections 5.1(a)(D) through
5.1(a)(I) and 5.1(b)(D) through 5.1(b)(I), inclusive.
The indemnity provided in this Loan Agreement shall not be included in
any exculpation of Operator from personal liability provided in this Loan
Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Section
5.1(b)(I) shall be deemed to deprive Lender of any rights or remedies
provided to it elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or
otherwise available to it under law. Operator waives and releases Lender
from any rights or defenses Operator may have under common law or
Environmental Laws for liability arising from or resulting from the
presence, Use or Release of Hazardous Substances except to the extent
directly caused by the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of
Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Operator shall not indemnify Lender
with respect to any Losses incurred in connection with, or as a direct
result of, any or all of the matters described above in clauses (i) through
(iv) to the extent that Operator can establish directly and solely that
such Losses result from Hazardous Substances being placed on, above or
under the Facility (a) by the affirmative act or gross negligence of Lender
or any employees, agents or bailees of Lender; or (b) subsequent to (i)
Lender taking title to the Facility; or (ii) a foreclosure by Lender; or
(iii) acceptance by Lender or its designees of a deed-in-lieu of
foreclosure with respect to the Facility.
(J) Access to Facility. Operator shall permit agents, representatives
and employees of Lender to inspect the Facility or any part thereof at such
reasonable times as may be requested by Lender upon two (2) Business Days
prior written notice and
<PAGE>

subject to the rights of tenants under Leases (as defined in the Leasehold
Mortgage); provided, such written notice shall not be required upon the
occurrence and continuation of a Default or Event of Default.
(K) Notice of Default. Operator shall promptly advise Lender of any
material adverse change in Operator's condition, financial or otherwise, or
of the occurrence of any Default of which Operator has knowledge or Event
of Default of which Operator has knowledge.
(L) Cooperate in Legal Proceedings. Except with respect to any claim
by Operator against Lender, Operator shall cooperate with Lender with
respect to any proceedings before any Governmental Authority which may in
any way affect the rights of Lender hereunder or any rights obtained by
Lender under any of the Loan Documents and, in connection therewith, not
prohibit Lender, at its election, from participating in any such
proceedings.
(M) Perform Loan Documents. Operator shall observe, perform and
satisfy all the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions required to be
observed, performed or satisfied by it, and shall pay when due all costs,
fees and expenses required to be paid by it, under the Loan Documents
executed and delivered by Operator.
(N) Insurance Benefits; Condemnation Claims. Borrower and Operator
shall cooperate with Lender in settling any insurance or condemnation claim
and/or obtaining for Lender the benefits of any Insurance Proceeds and/or
Condemnation Proceeds lawfully or equitably payable to Lender in connection
with the Facility and Lender shall be reimbursed for any expenses incurred
in connection therewith (including reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements), and the payment by Operator of the expense of an Appraisal
on behalf of Lender in case of a fire or other casualty affecting the
Facility or any part thereof out of such Insurance Proceeds and/or
Condemnation Proceeds, all as more specifically provided in the Leasehold
Mortgage.
(O) Further Assurances. Operator shall, at Operator's sole cost and
expense:

time after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default pay for (a) reports of UCC, federal tax lien, state tax lien,
judgment and pending litigation searches with respect to Operator and (b)

search firms reasonably designated by Lender in each of the locations
reasonably designated by Lender.
<PAGE>
94
(ii) furnish to Lender, upon Lender's reasonable request
therefor, all instruments, documents, boundary surveys, footing or
foundation surveys, certificates, plans and specifications, Appraisals,
title and other insurance reports and agreements, and each and every other
document, certificate, agreement and instrument required to be furnished
pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents;
(iii) execute and deliver to Lender such documents, instruments,
certificates, assignments and other writings, and do such other acts
necessary, to evidence, preserve and/or protect the Collateral at any time
securing or intended to secure the Note, as Lender may require in Lender's
reasonable discretion; and
(iv) do and execute all and such further lawful acts, conveyances
and assurances for the better and more effective carrying out of the
intents and purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as
Lender shall require from time to time in its reasonable discretion.
(P) Management of Mortgaged Property. Without the prior written
consent of the Lender, the Borrower will not execute a Management Agreement
or retain a manager to manage the Facility. Upon thirty (30) days written
request from Lender to Operator, Operator will enter into a Management
Agreement with a manager identified by Lender, (i) upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default or (ii) in the event that, as of the last day of a
calendar quarter, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Facility,
computed on the basis of the prior twelve (12) calendar months, is less
than 1.10. In the case described in clause (ii), Lender shall not have the
right to require Operator to retain a manager to manage the Facility, if on
the first Payment Date after Lender has made the determination pursuant to
clause (ii) above, Borrower defeases the Loan in accordance with the terms
of Sections 2.6 and 2.11 in an amount sufficient to cause the Debt Service
Coverage Ratio (calculated as if such amount was actually applied to reduce
the Principal Indebtedness upon which Debt Service was paid and calculated
as if the Principal Indebtedness was reamortized on a straight-line basis
(as if the reduction had occurred) over the remaining number of months
until the Maturity Date) for the Facility, computed on the basis of the
prior twelve (12) calendar months, to be at least equal to 1.20. In the
event that Borrower fails to defease as provided in the previous sentence
and Lender requires Operator to retain a manager, any such manager shall
(i) be a reputable management company having at least seven years'
experience in the management of commercial properties with similar uses as
the Facility and in the jurisdiction in which the Facility is located, (ii)
shall not be paid management fees in excess of fees which are market fees
for comparable managers of comparable properties in the same geographic
area and (iii) shall not result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification
of the then applicable ratings assigned by the Rating Agencies to any
securities issued in a Securitization.

and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower and Operator under this
Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage, the Leasehold Mortgage or any of the other
Loan Documents, or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time
and from time to time (including, without limitation, the right to accelerate
and declare the outstanding principal amount, unpaid interest, Default Rate
interest, Late Charges, Yield Maintenance Premium, the Event of Default Return
of Buy-Up Payment and any other amounts owing by Borrower to be immediately due
and payable), without notice or demand, whether or not all or any portion of the
Indebtedness shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall
have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other
<PAGE>
109
action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan
Documents with respect to the Facility or all or any portion of the Collateral.
Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be
pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time
and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other
rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set
forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained
to the contrary herein, the outstanding principal amount, unpaid interest,
Default Rate interest, Late Charges, Yield Maintenance Premium, the Event of
Default Return of Buy-Up Payment and any other amounts owing by Borrower shall
be accelerated and immediately due and payable, without any election by Lender
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 7.1(x) or
Section 7.1(xi). Notwithstanding that this Agreement may refer to a continuing
Event of Default, and without limiting Borrower's or Operator's right to cure a
Default which may, with the passage of time, become an Event of Default, neither
Borrower nor Operator shall have any right pursuant to this Agreement to cure
any Event of Default unless this Agreement is amended by Borrower, Operator and
Lender in writing.
Section 7.3. Remedies Cumulative. The rights, powers and remedies of
Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other
right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower or Operator
pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents executed by or with
respect to Borrower or Operator, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise.
Lender's rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or
otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender's
sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power
accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power
or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power
may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A
waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not be construed to be a waiver
of any subsequent Default or Event of Default or to impair any remedy, right or
power consequent thereon. Any and all of Lender's rights with respect to the
Collateral shall continue unimpaired, and Borrower and Operator shall be and
remain obligated in accordance with the terms hereof, notwithstanding (i) the
release or substitution of Collateral at any time, or of any rights or interest
therein or (ii) any delay, extension of time, renewal, compromise or other
indulgence granted by Lender in the event of any Default or Event of Default
with respect to the Collateral or otherwise hereunder. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, Lender reserves the right to seek a
deficiency judgment or preserve a deficiency claim, in connection with the
foreclosure of the Mortgage or Leasehold Mortgage on the Facility, to the extent
necessary to foreclose on other parts of the Mortgaged Property.
Section 7.4. Lender's Right to Perform. If Borrower or Operator
fails to perform any covenant or obligation contained herein and such failure
shall continue beyond any
<PAGE>
110
applicable grace period and thereafter continue for a period of five Business
Days after Borrower's or Operator's, as applicable, receipt of written notice
thereof, without in any way limiting Section 7.1 hereof, from Lender, Lender
may, but shall have no obligation to, itself perform, or cause performance of,
such covenant or obligation, and the expenses of Lender incurred in connection
therewith shall be payable by Borrower and Operator to Lender within ten (10)
calendar days after written demand therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Lender shall have no obligation to send notice to Borrower or Operator of any
such failure.
Section 7.5. Operator's Limited Right to Cure. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement or the Loan Documents to the contrary, if a non-
monetary Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to Borrower
which Event of Default was not caused directly or indirectly by Operator and
Lender desires to exercise its rights under this Article VII, provided no Event
of Default exists with respect to Operator, Lender shall give Operator written
notice of such Event of Default and of Lender's intent to exercise its rights
and remedies under this Article VII and Lender shall abstain from exercising its
rights and remedies under this Article VII until the earlier to occur of (a) the
date which is forty-five (45) days after delivery of such written notice, (b)
the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to Operator and (c) the
occurrence of a monetary Event of Default with respect to Borrower. Lender
shall not exercise its rights under this Article VII in connection with the
Event of Default with respect to Borrower identified in the written notice
delivered to Operator if prior to the dates or events described in clauses (a)
through (c) of the foregoing sentence, the following events and conditions shall
have occurred or been satisfied, as applicable, (i) the Operator has acquired
fee simple title to the Facility or acquired the beneficial interest of FBTC in
Borrower, has assumed all of the obligations of the Borrower under the Loan
Documents and has executed and delivered such other documentation as may be
required by Lender and, if the Loan has been transferred in a Securitization,
the Rating Agencies, (ii) if the Loan has been transferred in a Securitization,
the Rating Agencies shall have confirmed in writing that such transfer shall not
result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of any securities issued in
connection with such Securitization, (iii) satisfactory opinions relating to
such transfer shall have been delivered by Operator to Lender and, if the Loan
has been transferred in a Securitization, to the Rating Agencies (including
without limitation tax and bankruptcy opinions), (iv) to the extent curable,
Operator shall have cured such non-monetary Event of Default, (v) Operator pays
all reasonable expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such transfer,
(vi) Operator shall have delivered to Lender an updated Title Insurance Policy
showing fee simple title to the Facility in Operator and insuring that Lender
has a valid first lien on the Operator's fee simple interest in the Facility
together with such modifications, amendments or supplements to the Loan
Documents as Lender may reasonably request. Upon consummation of the transfer
of fee simple title in the Facility to the Operator and the assignment by the
Borrower and assumption by the Operator of the Borrower's obligations under the
Loan Documents executed by the Borrower, Operator shall be considered the
"Borrower" under the Loan Documents as well as the "Operator" under the Loan
Documents and
<PAGE>
111
shall have all of the obligations of "Borrower" under the Loan Documents as well
as the obligations of "Operator" under the Loan Documents. If the events
described in clauses (a) through (c) of the first sentence of this Section occur
or the events or conditions described in the second sentence of this Section do
not occur or are not satisfied prior to the occurrence of the events described
in clauses (a) through (c) of the first sentence of this Section, Lender shall
be entitled to exercise all of its rights and remedies pursuant to this Article
VII.

amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement, the Note or any
<PAGE>
113
other Loan Document, or consent to any departure by Borrower or Operator
therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing
signed by each of Borrower, Operator, and Lender, and then such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose,
for which given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to or
demand on Operator or Borrower shall entitle Borrower or Operator to any other
or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.
Section 8.5. Delay Not a Waiver. Neither any failure nor any delay
on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term,
condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or
privilege hereunder, or under the Note, or of any other Loan Document, or any
other instrument given as security therefor, shall operate as or constitute a
waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any
other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or
privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment
after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Note or any
other Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either
to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this
Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for
failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.
Section 8.6. Notices. All notices, consents, approvals and requests

receiving a notice which does not comply with the technical requirements for

SECTION 8.7. TRIAL BY JURY. BORROWER, OPERATOR AND LENDER, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT THAT THEY MAY LAWFULLY DO SO, HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
ACTION OR PROCEEDING, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY TORT ACTION, BROUGHT BY
ANY PARTY HERETO WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE OR THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS.
Section 8.8. Headings. The Article and Section headings in this
Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not
constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
Section 8.9. Assignment. Lender shall have the right to assign in
whole or in part this Agreement and/or any of the other Loan Documents and the
obligations hereunder or thereunder to any Person and to participate all or any
portion of the Loan evidenced hereby, including without limitation, any servicer
or trustee in connection with a Securitization. Lender shall provide Borrower
and Operator with written notice of any such assignment; provided, however, that
such notice shall not be a condition of Lender's right to assign this Agreement
and/or any of the Loan Documents and the failure to deliver such notice shall
not constitute a default under this Loan Agreement.
Section 8.10. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of
this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid
under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited
by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating
<PAGE>
115
the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 8.11. Preferences. Lender shall have no obligation to
marshal any assets in favor of Borrower or Operator or any other party or
against or in payment of any or all of the obligations of Borrower or Operator
pursuant to this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document. Lender shall
have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and
all payments by Borrower or Operator to any portion of the obligations of
Borrower or Operator hereunder. To the extent Borrower or Operator makes a
payment or payments to Lender for Borrower's or Operator's benefit, which
payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared
to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a
trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal
law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or
proceeds received, the obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be
satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such
payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.
Section 8.12. Waiver of Notice. Borrower and Operator shall not be
entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect
to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and
expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower or Operator and
except with respect to matters for which Borrower or Operator is not, pursuant
to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. To
the maximum extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, Borrower and
Operator each hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from
Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents does not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice
by Lender to Borrower.
Section 8.13. Intentionally Omitted.
Section 8.14. Exculpation. Except as otherwise set forth in this
Section 8.14 and Section 4.2 to the contrary, Lender shall not enforce the
liability and obligation of Borrower or Operator to perform and observe the
obligations contained in this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgages, the Guaranty
or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by Borrower or
Operator except that Lender may pursue any power of sale, bring a foreclosure
action, action for specific performance, action for money judgment, or other
appropriate action or proceeding (including, without limitation, to obtain a
deficiency judgment) against Borrower or Operator or any other Person solely for
the purpose of enabling Lender to realize upon (a) the Collateral, and (b) the
Rents and Accounts arising from the Facility to the extent (x) (i) received by
Borrower (or any of its affiliates), after the occurrence of an Event of
Default, or (ii) received by Operator (or any of their affiliates), after the
occurrence of an Event of Default or (y) distributed to (i) Borrower or its
shareholders, partners, members or beneficial owners, as applicable, or
affiliates during or with respect to any period for which Lender did not receive
the
<PAGE>
116
full amounts it was entitled to receive as prepayments of the Loan pursuant to
Section 2.7 or (ii) Operator, or its shareholders, partners, members or
beneficial owners, as applicable, or affiliates during or with respect to any
period for which Lender did not receive the full amounts it was entitled to
receive as prepayments of the Loan pursuant to Section 2.7 (all Rents and
Accounts covered by clauses (x) and (y) being hereinafter referred to as the
"Recourse Distributions") and (c)) any other collateral given to Lender under
the Loan Documents ((a), (b), and (c) collectively, the "Default Collateral");
provided, however, that any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
enforceable only to the extent of any such Default Collateral. The provisions of
this Section 8.14 shall not, however, (a) impair the validity of the
Indebtedness evidenced by the Loan Documents or in any way affect or impair the
Liens of the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents or the right of Lender
to foreclose the Mortgage or Leasehold Mortgage following an Event of Default;
(b) impair the right of Lender to name any Person as a party defendant in any
action or suit for judicial foreclosure and sale under the Mortgage or Leasehold
Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of the Note, the Mortgage or
the other Loan Documents; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the
appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the right of Lender to bring suit for any
damages, losses, expenses, liabilities or costs resulting from fraud,
intentional misrepresentation, intentional physical waste of all or any portion
of the Facility, or wrongful removal or disposal of all or any portion of the
Facility by any Person in connection with this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage
or the other Loan Documents; (f) impair the right of Lender to obtain the
Recourse Distributions received by any Person; (g) intentionally omitted; (h)
impair the right of Lender to obtain Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds
due to Lender pursuant to the Mortgage or Leasehold Mortgage (including, without
limitation, the applicable Casualty Prepayment Amount, Casualty Return of Buy-Up
Payment, Condemnation Prepayment Amount and/or Condemnation Return of Buy-Up
Payment); (i) impair the right of Lender to enforce (against the parties liable
therefore other than the Borrower) the provisions of Sections 4.1(b)(U),
4.1(d)(U) or 5.1(b)(D)-(I) of this Agreement, Section 2.8 of the Mortgage or the
Leasehold Mortgage or the Environmental Guaranty even after repayment in full by
Borrower of the Indebtedness; (j) prevent or in any way hinder Lender from
exercising, or constitute a defense, or counterclaim, or other basis for relief
in respect of the exercise of, any other remedy against any or all of the
Collateral securing the Note as provided in the Loan Documents; (k) impair the
right of Lender to bring suit with respect to any intentional misapplication of
any funds including without limitation any intentional misappropriation of
security deposits or Rents collected more then one month in advance; or (l)
impair the right of Lender to sue for, seek or demand a deficiency judgment
against any Person solely for the purpose of foreclosing the Mortgaged Property
or any part thereof, or realizing upon the Default Collateral; provided,
however, that any such deficiency judgment referred to in this clause (l) shall
be enforceable only to the extent of any of the Default Collateral.
Section 8.15. Exhibits Incorporated. The information set forth on
the cover, heading and recitals hereof, and the Exhibits attached hereto, are
hereby incorporated herein as a
<PAGE>
117
part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
Section 8.16. Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of
Lender's interest in and to this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgages and the
other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets,
counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to the Loan, this Agreement, the
Note, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents which Borrower or Operator may
otherwise have against any assignor, and no such unrelated counterclaim or
defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower or Operator in any action or
proceeding brought by any such assignee upon this Agreement, the Note, the
Mortgages and other Loan Documents and any such right to interpose or assert any
such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding
is hereby expressly waived by Borrower and Operator.
Section 8.17. No Joint Venture or Partnership. Borrower and Lender
intend that the relationship created hereunder be solely that of borrower and
lender. Operator and Lender intend that the relationship created hereunder be
solely that of guarantor and lender. Nothing herein is intended to create a
joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship
between Borrower and Lender or between Operator and Lender nor to grant Lender
any interest in the Mortgaged Property other than that of mortgagee or lender.
Section 8.18. Waiver of Marshalling of Assets Defense. To the
fullest extent that Borrower and Operator may legally do so, each of Borrower
and Operator waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower or
Operator, and others with interests in Borrower or Operator, and of the
Mortgaged Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of
foreclosure of the interests hereby created, and agrees not to assert any right
under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse
order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of
decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right
of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Facility for the collection
of the Indebtedness without any prior or different resort for collection, or the
right of Lender to the payment of the Indebtedness in preference to every other
claimant whatsoever.
Section 8.19. Waiver of Counterclaim. Borrower and Operator each
hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than compulsory
counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against Borrower or Operator,
as applicable by Lender or Lender's agents.

any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the
Note, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this
Agreement shall prevail. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were
represented by counsel in connection with the negotiation and drafting of the
Loan Documents and that the Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle
of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same.

Section 8.21. Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower, Operator and
Lender hereby represent that they have dealt with no financial advisors,
brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement except Advisor. Borrower and
Operator each hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and
against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind in any
way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person (other than Advisor), that
such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Operator in connection with the
transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section shall survive
the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the
Indebtedness.
Section 8.22. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an
original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same
instrument.

each hereby agree at any time and from time to time upon not less than fifteen
(15) Business Days prior written notice by Borrower, Operator or Lender to

statement, in writing, certifying that this Agreement is unmodified and in full
force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same, as
modified, is in full force and effect and stating the modifications hereto), and
stating whether or not, to the knowledge of such certifying party, any Default
or Event of Default has occurred, and, if so, specifying each such Default or
Event of Default; provided, however, that it shall be a condition precedent to
Lender's obligation to deliver the statement pursuant to this Section, that
Lender shall have received, together with Borrower's or Operator's request for
such statement, an Officer's Certificate stating that no Default or Event of
Default exists as of the date of such certificate (or specifying such Default or
Event of Default).
Section 8.24. Payment of Expenses. Borrower shall, whether or not
the Transactions are consummated, pay all Transaction Costs, which shall
include, without limitation, reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs, expenses, and
disbursements of Lender and its attorneys, local counsel, accountants and other
contractors in connection with (i) the negotiation, preparation, execution and
delivery of the Loan Documents and the documents and instruments referred to
therein, (ii) the creation, perfection or protection of Lender's Liens in the

agrees that, in consideration of the recitals and mutual covenants contained

or similar relief under any present or future federal or state act or law
relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief for debtors, the automatic
stay provided by the Federal Bankruptcy Code shall be modified and annulled as
to Lender, so as to permit Lender to exercise any and all of its remedies, upon
request of Lender made on notice to Borrower and any other party in interest but
without the need of further proof or hearing. Borrower, Operator and any of
their respective Affiliates shall not contest the enforceability of this
Section.
Section 8.26. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the
Exhibits hereto and the other Loan Documents constitutes the entire agreement
among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained in this
Agreement, the Exhibits hereto and the other Loan Documents and supersedes all
prior agreements, understandings and negotiations between the parties.
Section 8.27. Dissemination of Information. If Lender determines at
any time to sell, transfer or assign the Note, this Loan Agreement and any other
Loan Document and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto, or to grant
participations therein or issue mortgage pass-through certificates or other
securities evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public
offering or private placement, Lender may forward to each purchaser, transferee,
assignee, servicer, participant or investor in such securities (collectively,
the "Investor") or any Rating Agency rating such securities and each prospective
Investor, all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter
acquire relating to the Loan, Borrower, Operator, any guarantor, any indemnitor

determines necessary or desirable.
<PAGE>

Section 8.28. Limitation of Interest. It is the intention of
Borrower, Operator and Lender to conform strictly to applicable usury laws.
Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby would be usurious under
applicable law, then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
any Loan Document, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all
consideration which constitutes interest under applicable law that is taken,
reserved, contracted for, charged or received under any Loan Document or
otherwise in connection with the Loan shall under no circumstances exceed the
maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, and any excess shall be
credited to principal by Lender (or if the Loan shall have been paid in full,
refunded to Borrower); and (ii) in the event that maturity of the Loan is
accelerated by reason of an election by Lender resulting from any default
hereunder or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment,
then such consideration that constitutes interest may never include more than
the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, and any interest in
excess of the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, if any,
provided for in the Loan Documents or otherwise shall be cancelled automatically
as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore prepaid,
shall be credited to principal (or if the principal portion of the Loan and any
other amounts not constituting interest shall have been paid in full, refunded
to Borrower).
In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any
specific contingency exceeds the maximum amount allowed by applicable law,
Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law (a) exclude
voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (b) amortize, prorate,
allocate and spread, in equal parts, the total amount of interest throughout the
entire contemplated term of the Loan so that the interest rate is uniform
throughout the entire term of the Loan; provided, that if the Loan is paid and
performed in full prior to the end of the full contemplated term hereof, and if
the interest received for the actual period of existence thereof exceeds the
maximum amount allowed by applicable law, Lender shall refund to Borrower the
amount of such excess, and in such event, Lender shall not be subject to any
penalties provided by any laws for contracting for, charging or receiving
interest in excess of the maximum amount allowed by applicable law.
Section 8.29. Indemnification. Operator shall indemnify and hold
each of the Borrower, the Trust Company, Lender and each of its affiliates
(including its officers, directors, partners, employees and agents and each
other person, if any, controlling Lender or any of its affiliates within the
meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or
Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) (each, including
the Borrower, the Trust Company, and the Lender, an "Indemnified Party")
harmless against any and all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses (including
the reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel retained by any such
person) or liabilities in connection with, arising out of or as a result of the
transactions and matters referred to or contemplated by this Agreement (provided
that the
<PAGE>
121
indemnity provided in Section 2.14 shall apply to the matters to which it
relates), except to the extent that it is finally judicially determined that any
such loss, claim, damage, cost, expense or liability resulted directly and
solely from the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of such
Indemnified Party. In the event that any Indemnified Party becomes involved in
any action, proceeding or investigation in connection with any transaction or
matter referred to or contemplated in this Agreement, Operator shall
periodically reimburse any Indemnified Party upon demand therefor in an amount
equal to its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the costs of any
investigation and preparation) incurred in connection therewith to the extent
such legal or other expenses are the subject of indemnification hereunder.
Section 8.30. Borrower and Operator Acknowledgments. Each of
Operator and Borrower hereby acknowledges to and agrees with Lender that (i) the
scope of Lender's business is wide and includes, but is not limited to,
financing, real estate financing, investment in real estate and other real
estate transactions which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the
business of Borrower or Operator or their respective Affiliates and (ii)
Borrower and Operator each has been represented by competent legal counsel and
has consulted with such counsel prior to executing this Loan Agreement and any
of the other Loan Documents.
Section 8.31. Publicity. Lender shall have the right to issue press
releases, advertisements and other promotional materials describing Lender's
participation in the origination of the Loan or the Loan's inclusion in any
Securitization effectuated or to be effectuated by Lender.
Section 8.32. Intentionally deleted.
Section 8.33. Transfer of Fee Simple Interest in the Facility to
Operator on the Optional Prepayment Date. Notwithstanding anything in the
Operator Lease or the Loan Documents to the contrary, on the Optional Prepayment
Date, if the Loan is not prepaid in full pursuant to Section 2.7 of this
Agreement as a result of the Operator's failure to meet its obligations pursuant
to the Lease or otherwise, (i) Borrower shall transfer its fee simple title in
the Facility to Operator in consideration for Operator's assumption of
Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents executed by Borrower, (ii)
Operator shall accept fee simple title in the Facility and shall assume
Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents executed by the Borrower
pursuant to such documents as Lender shall reasonably request, (iii) Operator
shall deliver to Lender an updated Title Insurance Policy showing fee simple
title to the Facility in Operator and insuring that Lender has a valid first
lien on the Operator's fee simple interest in the Facility together with such
modification, amendments or supplements to the Loan Documents and legal opinions
as Lender may reasonably request and (iv) Operator shall pay all of Lender's
fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with such transfer (including,
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) and all recording costs, fees and taxes
associated with the transfer.
<PAGE>
122
Operator shall provide Lender with written notice sixty (60) days prior to the
Optional Prepayment Date indicating whether Operator anticipates (a) that the
Loan be prepaid in full on the Optional Prepayment Date together with
information regarding the sources of the funds for such prepayment or (b)(i)
that Operator will acquire the Borrower's fee simple interest in the Facility
together with the proposed documents effectuating the transfer of the Facility
and the assumption of the Loan and a copy of a commitment for the Title Policy
referenced above in clause (iii) or (ii) that FBTC will be transferring its
beneficial interests in Borrower to Operator pursuant to the penultimate
sentence of this Section 8.33 together with copies the proposed documents
effectuating such transfer and the proposed amendment to the Operator Lease
referenced in clause (iv) of the penultimate sentence of this Section 8.33. Upon
consummation of the transfer of fee simple title in the Facility to the Operator
and the assignment by the Borrower and assumption by the Operator of the
Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents executed by the Borrower,
Operator shall be considered the "Borrower" under the Loan Documents as well as
the "Operator" under the Loan Documents and shall have all of the obligations of
"Borrower" under the Loan Documents as well as the obligations of "Operator"
under the Loan Documents. As an alternative to transferring fee simple title to
the Facility to Operator if the Loan is not prepaid in full pursuant to Section
2.7 of this Agreement, on the Optional Prepayment Date, (i) Operator shall
acquire all of FBTC's beneficial ownership interests in the Borrower, (ii) the
Operator shall deliver such modifications, amendments or supplements to the Loan
Documents and legal opinions as Lender may reasonably request, (iii) Operator
shall deliver the various items sets forth in clause (v) of the definition of
"Permitted Transfers" and (iv) Operator shall execute an amendment to the
Operator Lease extending the Operator Lease to the Maturity Date and such other
amendments as are consistent with the fact that the FBTC Debt will be eliminated
all as Lender may reasonably request and as will not result in a downgrade,
withdrawal or qualification of the ratings assigned to any of the securities
issued in a Securitization as confirmed in writing by the Rating Agencies.
Failure of Borrower or Operator to comply with the terms of this Section shall
constitute an Event of Default.
Section 8.34 Amendments to Operator Lease. Borrower hereby agrees
that it will not amend, modify or terminate the Operator Lease without the prior
written consent of the Lender not to be unreasonably withheld. Lender hereby
agrees that it will not amend, modify or waive without the prior written consent
of Borrower, not to be unreasonably withheld (a) any provision of the Operator
Lease regarding the determination of or obligation to pay FBTC Basic Rent (as
defined in the Operator Lease) or Lessor Basic Rent (as defined in the Operator
Lease) to the extent any waiver, modification or amendment relates to FBTC Basic
Rent or Lessor Basic Rent which is due and payable to Borrower, (b) any
provision of the Operator Lease regarding indemnities in favor of Borrower or
any of its Affiliates, agents, officers, directors or employees to the extent
any waiver, modification or amendment relates to the period prior to acquisition
of title to the Mortgaged Property by Lender or its designee by foreclosure or
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, (c) until after acquisition of title to the
Mortgaged Property by Lender or its designee
<PAGE>
123
by foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, Sections 19.1(ii), 22.1, 24.1,
24.2 and 25.1 of the Operator Lease; and (d) Section 20.2(k) of the Operator
Lease.
Section 8.35 Subordination and Standstill.
(a) Borrower hereby agrees that all of the indebtedness, liabilities
and obligations of Operator evidenced by the Operator Lease and those Pledge
Agreements (as defined in the Operator Lease) executed by Operator
(collectively, the "Subordinate Obligations") and the lien of any judgment
entered on behalf of Borrower in connection with the Subordinate Obligations,
whether in breach of the terms hereof or otherwise, is and shall be subject,
subordinate and rendered junior to the prior indefeasible payment in full of the
Indebtedness. Except as specifically provided in the following sentence, no
payment shall be made by Operator for or on account of the Subordinate
Obligations, and the Borrower shall not take or receive from Operator in cash or
other property or by setoff or in any other manner, including, without
limitation, from or by way of collateral, payment of all or any of the
Subordinate Obligations, unless and until the Indebtedness shall have been
indefeasibly paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Borrower may
receive payments with respect to the related Subordinate Obligations (i)(x)
prior to a Cash Management Event, from Operator (but only after payment of the
amounts set forth in the first sentence of Section 2.12(b), and (y) after a Cash
Management Event, from the FBTC Payment Sub-Account and from Excess Cash Flow
and (ii) from realization on the collateral pledged to Borrower pursuant to
those Pledge Agreements (as defined in the Operator Lease) executed by Operator.
If any payments are made to the Borrower on account of the Subordinate
Obligations contrary to the terms of this Agreement or in excess of what the
Borrower is entitled to receive under this Agreement, Borrower shall hold the
same in trust as trustee for Lender, and shall promptly deliver to Lender in the
form received, endorsed or assigned, as may be appropriate for application on
account of, or as security for the Indebtedness.
(b) Until the Indebtedness is paid in full, Borrower shall not
institute any Enforcement Action (including, but not limited to, filing an
Insolvency Proceeding against Operator or acquiescing to the filing of an
Insolvency Proceeding by the Operator) against the Operator. Without limiting
the foregoing, in the event of an Insolvency Action with respect to the
Operator, (i) the Borrower hereby agrees that it shall not object to or oppose
any efforts by Lender to obtain relief in the Operator's bankruptcy from the
automatic stay under Section 362 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or to seek
to cause the Operator's bankruptcy estate to abandon the Facility or any part
thereof and (ii) so long as the beneficial interests of Borrower are owned by
FBTC, it shall not object to or oppose any efforts by Borrower to obtain relief
in the Operator's bankruptcy from the automatic stay under Section 362 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code or to seek to cause the Operator's estate to
abandon the Facilities or any part thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the event Operator fails to pay to Borrower any
<PAGE>
124
FBTC Required Quarterly Payment, Borrower shall be entitled to exercise its
rights and remedies with respect to the collateral pledged to Borrower pursuant
to those Pledge Agreements (as defined in the Operator Lease) executed by
Operator. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Borrower
hereby agrees it shall not sue for or make any claim with respect to the
Collateral and Lender hereby agrees that it shall not sue for or make any claim
with respect to the Excepted Property. Notwithstanding the terms of this Section
8.35, Borrower shall be entitled to bring an Enforcement Action (but not an
Insolvency Proceeding) against Operator solely for the purpose of realizing and
foreclosing on the collateral pledged to Borrower pursuant to the Pledge
Agreements (as defined in the Operator Lease) executed by the Operator,
provided, however, that as a condition to bringing such Enforcement Action (but
not an Insolvency Proceeding), FBTC shall first us its reasonable good faith
efforts to exercise its rights with respect to realizing on the Collateral by
non-judicial means. For the purposes of this Section, the following terms have
the indicated meanings: (i) "Enforcement Action" means the commencement or the
exercise of any remedies against the Operator, including, without limitation,
the commencement of any litigation and the commencement of any Insolvency
Proceeding; and (ii) "Insolvency Proceeding" means any proceeding under Title 11
of the United States Code (11 U.S.C. Sec. 101 et seq.) or any insolvency,
liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceeding concerning the Operator,
any dissolution of the Operator any proceeding (judicial or otherwise)
concerning the application of the assets of the Operator for the benefit of its
creditors, the initiation of any proceeding seeking the appointment of a
trustee, receiver or other similar custodian for all of any substantial part of
the assets of the Operator or any other action concerning the adjustment of the
debts of the Operator or the cessation of business by the Operator.
(c) Borrower shall deliver to Lender a copy of any and all notices of
default (or respecting acts or occurrences which could, with the giving of
notice, the passage of time, or both, constitute a default) that are delivered
by Borrower to Lender as required by law or otherwise given, whether in breach
of terms hereof or otherwise, to Operator by Borrower.
Section 8.36 Limitation of Liability. It is expressly understood and
agreed by the parties hereto that (a) this Loan Agreement is executed and
delivered by Wilmington Trust Company, not individually or personally but solely
as trustee of the Borrower, in the exercise of the powers and authority
conferred and vested in it under the Trust Agreement, (b) each of the
representations, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of the
Borrower is made and intended not as personal representations, undertakings and
agreements by Wilmington Trust Company but is made and intended for the purpose
of binding only the Borrower and (c) under no circumstances shall Wilmington
Trust Company be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or
expenses of the Borrower or be liable for the breach or failure of any
obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the
Borrower under this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents provided, that
Wilmington Trust Company accepts the
<PAGE>
125
benefits running to it hereunder and agrees that it shall be liable in its
individual capacity for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Section 8.37 Buy-Up. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or
any other Loan Document to the contrary, (i) Borrower, Operator and Lender agree
that no payment of any Casualty Prepayment Amount, Casualty Return of Buy-Up
Payment, Condemnation Prepayment Amount, Condemnation Return of Buy-Up Payment,
Yield Maintenance Premium or Event of Default Return of Buy-Up Payment required
to be paid by Borrower or Operator pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document is intended to be a penalty of any nature or kind whatsoever, (ii)
Borrower and Operator acknowledge that in connection with the making of the
Loan, Lender paid Borrower the Buy-Up Payment, which fee Borrower and Lender
both intended that Lender would recover through the payment of interest on the
Loan by Borrower to Lender through the Optional Prepayment Date at the Initial
Interest Rate and (iii) in consideration for Lender's payment to Borrower of the
Buy-Up Payment, Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and
all rights of any nature or kind whatsoever that Borrower may have to contest
the validity and/or the enforceability of any payment of any Casualty Prepayment
Amount, Casualty Return of Buy-Up Payment, Condemnation Prepayment Amount,
Condemnation Return of Buy-Up Payment, Event of Default Return of Buy-Up Payment
or Yield Maintenance Premium except to the extent Borrower would have had the
right to contest such payment had such payment been a payment of principal
indebtedness. Subject to the following sentence, Lender agrees that Lender will
treat and report the Buy-Up Payment as additional issue price for Federal income
tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation (S)1.1273-2(g)(3). Lender reserves
the right to change its treatment and reporting of the Buy-Up Payment in the
event of any change, amendment or modification to any applicable law, rule,
revenue ruling or regulation or in the event Lender receives notice from the
Internal Revenue Service requiring a change in Lender's treatment on reporting
of the Buy-Up Payment. Lender will notify Borrower and Operator in the event it
is changing its reporting or treatment of the Buy-Up Payment. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, it is
the intent of the parties that, until the Optional Prepayment Date, the payments
with respect to Loan Amount, the amounts payable thereon with respect to the
Initial Interest Rate and payments with respect to the Buy-Up Payment shall not
exceed or be less than the payments which would have been made if the original
principal amount of a loan made pursuant to this Loan Agreement would have been
$21,000,000 with an Initial Interest Rate of 7.57% and an amortization schedule
of 331 months (calculated on the basis of a calendar year consisting of twelve
thirty day months); provided, however, the foregoing is not intended to qualify
the amount of interest at the Default Rate or Late Charges that Lender is
entitled to collect.

for the benefit of the Pledgee a continuing security interest in, all of its
right, title and interest in, to and under the following property (the

in the Collateral Account;
(b) all interest, profit (whether of cash or securities) and

and records that the Pledged Property in the Collateral Account is held
subject to a security interest of the Custodian, for the benefit of the
Pledgee. The Custodian acknowledges receipt of this Pledge Agreement,

Collateral Requirement in accordance with Section 2.4(b), the Pledgee shall
provide written notice to the Custodian instructing the Custodian to
withdraw and release all Collateral in the Collateral Account to the
Pledgee as instructed by the Pledgee. Until the Obligations are paid in
full, the Pledgor shall have no right to make withdrawals from the
Collateral Account or to otherwise exercise any control with respect to any
securities or other property from time to time on deposit in or credited to
the Collateral Account, or provide substitute Collateral.
(b) The Pledgor shall deliver with any securities transferred
hereunder all appropriate undated bond powers, duly executed in blank and
any and all other forms related to transfer requested by the Custodian,
completed or executed so to make such transfer valid under applicable law
and the rules of any securities exchange or otherwise.

omit from taking actions) in order to make all transfers contemplated
hereby valid under applicable law and the rules of any securities exchange
or otherwise.

agencies guaranteed by the United States government having a final
maturity of one year from the date of purchase (which shall also be
the date of issuance of the instrument) thereof delivered and duly
pledged in accordance with Section 2.1 and maintained in accordance
with Section 2.3, which Pledged Property shall have a fair market
value of not less than 105% of $907,500.00 on the date deposited with

all proceeds, interest, or profits paid in respect of the Pledged
Property ("Earnings") to the Pledgee. The Pledgor hereby instructs the
Custodian to release all such Earnings to the Pledgee upon each

Property.

Pledged Property held in the Collateral Account, on a weekly mark-to-market
basis. Each such valuation by the Custodian shall be binding on the Pledgor and
the Pledgee, absent manifest error. In the event that any such valuation shall
indicate that such fair market value of the Pledged Property shall be less than
the Collateral Requirement, the Custodian shall give written notice of same
within two (2) Business Days thereof via (i) overnight mail or hand delivery and
(ii) facsimile transmission, to each of the Pledgee and the Pledgor of such
deficiency.
(b) In the event that the fair market value of the Pledged Property
is less than the Collateral Requirement at anytime prior to the full

Pledgor), transfer additional Pledged Property to the Collateral Account in an
amount equal to or exceeding the amount of the deficiency of the Collateral
Requirement, so that the Collateral Requirement is maintained at all times prior
to the full satisfaction and discharge of the Obligations. The Pledgor's failure
to provide such additional Pledged Property shall result in Pledgee having the
immediate right to all Pledged Property in accordance with Section 2.2. To the
extent the fair market value of the Collateral Account exceeds the Collateral
Requirement on the maturity date of the Pledged Property prior to the full
satisfaction and discharge of the Obligations in accordance with the terms of
the Operative Documents by an amount greater than five (5%) percent of the
Collateral Requirement and no Event of Default described in Section 6.1 or
Default relating thereto shall have occurred and be continuing, the Custodian is
directed to release such excess Collateral ("Excess Collateral") to the Pledgor
within three (3) Business Days of such maturity date.

the Pledgee to utilize the proceeds of matured Pledged Property, excluding
Excess Collateral, to immediately repurchase Pledged Property of the same type
and duration as those that had matured.

the Pledgor hereunder secures the payment in full of all the Pledgor's
Obligations.

satisfactory to the Custodian.

(a) become effective only upon the Custodian's receipt of an opinion

obligations hereunder.

of the Pledgor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of
(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Pledge Agreement
or any other Operative Document,
(b) the failure of the Pledgee to assert any claim or demand or to
enforce any right or remedy against the Pledgor or any other Person under
the provisions of any Operative Document or otherwise,

accounting by the Custodian for moneys actually received by it hereunder,
the Custodian shall not have any duty as to any Collateral or
responsibility for

takes such action for that purpose as the Pledgor reasonably requests in writing
at times other than upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event
of Default described in Section 6.1, but failure of the Custodian to comply with
any such request at any time shall not in itself be deemed a failure to have
exercised reasonable care but shall be used as a factor in determining whether
the Custodian has exercised reasonable care. The Custodian agrees to exercise
the same degree of care as exercised by banks generally for similar property in
exercising its duties under this Pledge Agreement.

Lender may elect in its sole discretion.

the right, in addition to the other rights described in this Guaranty, to
collect from Guarantor all costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) incurred by Lender in connection with the enforcement of this
Guaranty against Guarantor, as well as interest thereon at the Default Rate set

(a) The Lessee shall pay FBTC Basic Rent and Lessor Basic Rent on the

such Basic Rent (or any component thereof) is then due and owing) on (x)
each Payment Date during the Term, (y) the date required under Section
24.1(i) in connection with the Lessee's exercise of the Remarketing Option,
and (z) any date on which this Lease shall terminate. The Lessee and Lessor
hereby agree that amounts which would otherwise be payable by Lessee to
Lessor hereunder as Lessor Basic Rent are payable as interest on the
Pledged Securities pursuant to the terms of the Securities Pledge Agreement
and such amounts shall not constitute Rent hereunder.
(b) Rent shall be due and payable in lawful money of the United
States and, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash
Management Event, shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available
funds on the due date therefor from the relevant Sub-Accounts of the Cash
Collateral Account, to the extent funds exist therein. With the exception
of the first payment on the Acquisition Date of FBTC Basic Rent and Lessor
Basic Rent, for which at least two (2) Business Days prior written notice
from the Lessor shall be provided, the Lessor shall provide written notice
of the amount of Basic Rent due at least five (5) Business Days prior to
each due date therefor; provided, however, that the failure of the Lessor
to provide such notice shall not affect Lessee's obligations hereunder or
impose liability on Lessor. Lessee shall deposit all security deposits
received by it with respect to the Property into the Security Deposit
Account
-10-
<PAGE>
and shall cause all relevant checks to be made payable to the name of the
Security Deposit Account.
(c) So long as a Cash Management Event is not continuing, Rent shall
be payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds on the due date
therefor as follows: (i) Lessor Basic Rent and FBTC Basic Rent and
Supplemental Rent to which the Lessor is entitled shall be payable to the
Lessor at the place of payment designated in writing by the Lessor and (ii)
the remainder of Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent to which the Lender is
entitled shall be payable to the Lender or Lender's designee or to an
account identified by Lender or Lender's designee as set forth in Section
2.12 (b) of the Nomura Loan Agreement.
(d) Neither the Lessee's inability or failure to take possession of
all or any portion of the Property when delivered by the Lessor, whether or
not attributable to any act or omission of the Lessee, or for any other
reason whatsoever, shall delay or otherwise affect the Lessee's obligation
to pay Rent for the Property in accordance with the terms of this Lease.
VII.2. Payment of Rent. Rent shall be paid absolutely net to the Lessor,
so that this Lease shall yield to the Lessor the full amount thereof, without
setoff, deduction or reduction.
VII.3. Supplemental Rent. The Lessee shall pay promptly as Supplemental
Rent shall become due and payable (a) after the occurrence and during the
continuance of a Cash Management Event, to the Collection Account and (b) so
long as that a Cash Management Event is not continuing, any and all Supplemental
Rent payable pursuant to the Nomura Loan Agreement, to the Lender, Lender's
designee or to such parties as set forth in the Nomura Loan Agreement, and all
other Supplemental Rent to the Lessor. If the Lessee fails to pay any
Supplemental Rent, the Lessor shall have all rights, powers and remedies
provided for herein or by law or equity or otherwise in the case of nonpayment
of Basic Rent. The Lessee shall pay as Supplemental Rent, among other things,
within ten (10) days following demand (or such shorter period that such payment
is required to be made under the Loan Documents) to the extent permitted by
applicable Requirements of Law, interest at the applicable Overdue Rate on any
installment of Basic Rent not paid when due for the period for which the same
shall be overdue and on any payment of Supplemental Rent not paid when due or
demanded by the Lessor for the period from the due date or the date of any such
demand, as the case may be, until the same shall be paid. The expiration or
other termination of the Lessee's obligations to pay Basic Rent hereunder shall
not limit or modify the obligations of the Lessee with respect to Supplemental
Rent. Unless expressly provided otherwise in this Lease, in the event of any
failure on the part of the Lessee to pay and discharge any Supplemental Rent as
and when due, the Lessee shall also promptly pay and discharge any fine,
penalty, interest or cost which may be assessed or added under any agreement
with a third party for nonpayment or late payment of such Supplemental Rent, all
of which shall also constitute Supplemental Rent.
VII.4. Method of Payment. Except as otherwise set forth in the Nomura
Loan Agreement, each payment of Rent or any other amount due hereunder shall be
made by the Lessee to the applicable party prior to 12:00 noon., New York City
time at the place of payment designated in writing by the Lessor or such
applicable party in funds consisting of lawful currency of the United States of
America which shall be in federal or other immediately available funds to an
account specified by Lender (with respect to payments to Lender) and, with
respect to all other payees, to such accounts as specified by such payees. If
any payment is due on a date which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be
made on the next
-11-
<PAGE>
succeeding Business Day. Payments received after 12:00 noon, New York City time
on the date due shall for all purposes hereof be deemed to have been paid on the
next succeeding Business Day.

setoff, counterclaim, or defense with respect to the Rent, nor shall the
obligations of the Lessee hereunder be affected (except as expressly herein
permitted and by performance of the obligations in connection therewith) by
reason of: (i) any defect in the condition, merchantability, design,

the obligations of the Lessee hereunder shall be covenants and agreements that
are separate and independent from any obligations of the Lessor hereunder or
under any other Operative Documents and the obligations of the Lessee shall
continue unaffected unless such obligations shall have been modified or
terminated in accordance with an express provision of this Lease. Nothing
contained herein is intended to obviate or otherwise diminish any right the

terminate or surrender this Lease (except as provided herein) or (ii) to avail
itself of any abatement, suspension, deferment, reduction, setoff, counterclaim
or defense with respect to any Rent. The Lessee shall remain obligated under

and as to the Property or portion thereof so sublet. Any sublease of the

continuing and (ii) the Lessee pays all related expenses and indemnifies the
Lessor to its reasonable satisfaction.
ARTICLE XVII
INSURANCE
XVII.1. Public Liability and Workers' Compensation Insurance.
(a) During the Term the Lessee shall procure and carry, at the
Lessee's sole cost and expense, commercial general liability insurance for
claims for bodily injury or death sustained by persons or damage to
property while on the Property and such other public liability coverages as
are ordinarily procured by the Lessee or its Affiliates who own or operate
similar properties. Such insurance shall be on terms and in amounts that
are in accordance with normal industry practice. The policy shall be
endorsed to name the Lessor, the Trust Company and the Lender as additional
insured. The policy shall also specifically provide that the policy shall
be considered primary insurance which shall apply to any loss or claim
before any contribution by any insurance which the Lessor may have in
force.
(b) The Lessee shall, in the construction of any Improvements
(including in connection with any Modifications thereof) and the operation
of the Property, comply with, or cause the applicable contractor to comply
with, all applicable workers' compensation laws.
XVII.2. Hazard and Other Insurance. During the Term the Lessee shall keep,
or cause to be kept, the Property insured against loss or damage by fire, flood
and other risks on terms and in amounts that are no less favorable than
insurance covering other similar properties owned by the Lessee or its
Affiliates and that are in accordance with normal industry practice and as
required in the Loan Documents. During the construction of any Improvements the
Lessee shall also maintain or cause to be maintained builders' risk insurance.
XVII.3. Insurance Coverage.
(a) The Lessee shall furnish the Lessor with certificates showing the
insurance required under Sections 17.1 and 17.2 to be in effect and naming
the Lessor as additional insured with
-18-
<PAGE>
respect to liability coverage (excluding worker's compensation insurance),
and naming the Lessor as loss payee with respect to property coverage and
showing the mortgagee endorsement required by Section 17.3(c) with respect
to such coverage. All such insurance shall be at the cost and expense of
the Lessee. Such certificates shall include a provision for no less than
thirty (30) days' advance written notice by the insurer to the Lessor in
the event of cancellation or reduction of such insurance.
(b) The Lessee agrees that the insurance policy or policies required
by Section 17.2 shall include an appropriate clause pursuant to which such
policy shall provide that it will not be invalidated should the Lessee
waive, in writing, prior to a loss, any or all rights of recovery against
any party for losses covered by such policy, and that the insurance in
favor of the Lessor and its rights under and interests in said policies
shall not be invalidated or reduced by any act or omission or negligence of
the Lessee or any other Person having any interest in the Property. The
Lessee hereby waives any and all such rights against the Lessor to the
extent of payments made under such policies.
(c) All such insurance shall be written by reputable insurance
companies that are financially sound and solvent and otherwise reasonably
appropriate considering the amount and type of insurance being provided by
such companies. Any insurance company selected by the Lessee which is
rated in Best's Insurance Guide or any successor thereto (or if there be
none, an organization having a similar national reputation) shall have a
general policyholder rating of "A" and a financial rating of at least "12"
or be otherwise acceptable to the Lessor. All insurance policies required
by Section 17.2 shall include a standard form mortgagee endorsement in
favor of the Lender.
(d) The Lessor may carry separate liability insurance so long as (i)
the Lessee's insurance is designated as primary and in no event excess or
contributory to any insurance the Lessor may have in force which would
apply to a loss covered under the Lessee's policy and (ii) each such
insurance policy will not cause the Lessee's insurance required under this
Article XVII to be subject to a coinsurance exception of any kind.
(e) The Lessee shall pay as they become due all premiums for the
insurance required by Section 17.1 and Section 17.2, and shall renew or
replace each policy prior to the expiration date thereof. Throughout the
Term, at the time each of the Lessee's insurance policies is renewed (but
in no event less frequently than once each year), the Lessee shall deliver
to the Lessor certificates of insurance evidencing that all insurance
required by this Article XVII is being maintained by the Lessee and is in
effect.
XVII.4. Insurance Proceeds. All insurance proceeds in respect of any loss
or occurrence shall, to the extent permitted under the Loan Documents, be paid
to the Lender and, upon compliance with the terms of the Loan Documents, the
Lender shall pay same to the Lessee for application toward the reconstruction,
repair or refurbishment of the Property to the extent permitted under the Loan
Documents.
XVII.5. Insurance Requirements in Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 17.1, 17.2, 17.3 and 17.4, the Lessee shall comply with
all Insurance Requirements (as defined in the Nomura Loan Agreement) and to the
extent the provisions hereof are inconsistent with same, the provisions of the
Loan Documents shall control. The Lessor acknowledges that the Insurance
-19-
<PAGE>
Requirements are acceptable to it; provided, however, that notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Lessee must at all times during the Term have liability insurance
complying with Section 17.1.
ARTICLE XVIII
CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION;
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
XVIII.1. Casualty and Condemnation.
(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article XVIII, if all or a
portion of the Property is damaged or destroyed in whole or in part by a
Casualty or if the use, access, occupancy, easement rights or title to the
Property or any part thereof, is the subject of a Condemnation, then the
Lessee shall (i) reconstruct, refurbish and repair the Property upon
submission to the Lessor of an architect's certificate as to the cost of
such restoration and to the effect that the Property can be fully restored
to the condition required under the Operative Documents and as to the cost
of such restoration or (ii) pay the Lease Balance.
(b) The Lessee may appear in any proceeding or action to negotiate,
prosecute, adjust or appeal any claim for any award, compensation or
insurance payment on account of any such Casualty or Condemnation and shall
pay all expenses thereof. At the Lessee's reasonable request, and at the
Lessee's sole cost and expense, the Lessor shall participate in any such
proceeding, action, negotiation, prosecution or adjustment. The Lessor and
the Lessee agree that this Lease shall control the rights of the Lessor and
the Lessee in and to any such award, compensation or insurance payment.
(c) If the Lessor or the Lessee shall receive notice of a Casualty or
of an actual, pending or threatened Condemnation of the Property or any
interest therein, the Lessor or the Lessee, as the case may be, shall give
notice thereof to the other and the Lender promptly after the receipt of
such notice.
(d) If pursuant to this Section 18.1 and Section 19.1 this Lease
shall continue in full force and effect following a Casualty or
Condemnation with respect to the Property, the Lessee shall, at its sole
cost and expense (and, without limitation, if any award, compensation or
insurance payment is not sufficient to restore the Property in accordance
with this paragraph, the Lessee shall pay the shortfall), promptly and
diligently repair any damage to the Property caused by such Casualty or
Condemnation in conformity with the requirements of Sections 13.1 and 14.1
using the as-built plans and specifications for the Property (as modified
to give effect to any subsequent Modifications, any Condemnation affecting
the Property and all applicable Requirements of Law) so as to restore the
Property as near as possible to the condition, operation, function and
value as existed immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation with
such Modification as the Lessee may elect in accordance with Section 14.1.
In such event, title to the Property shall remain with the Lessor. Upon
completion of such restoration, the Lessee shall furnish the Lessor an
architect's certificate of substantial completion and a Responsible
Employee's Certificate confirming that such restoration has been completed
pursuant to this Lease.
-20-
<PAGE>
(e) In no event shall a Casualty or Condemnation affect the Lessee's
obligations to pay Rent pursuant to Section 7.1 or to perform its
obligations and pay any amounts due on the Expiration Date or pursuant to
Articles XXII and XXV.
(f) Any Excess Proceeds received by the Lessor in respect of a
Casualty or Condemnation shall be turned over to the Lessee.
(g) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 18.1, the Lessee
shall comply with and be entitled to the benefit of all provisions in the
Loan Documents regarding Casualty and Condemnation and to the extent the
provisions hereof are inconsistent with same, the provisions of the Loan
Documents shall control.
XVIII.2. Environmental Matters. Promptly upon the Lessee's knowledge of the
existence of an Environmental Violation, the Lessee shall notify the Lessor in
writing of such Environmental Violation. If the Lessor elects not to terminate
this Lease pursuant to Section 19.1, at the Lessee's sole cost and expense, the
Lessee shall promptly and diligently commence any response, clean up, remedial
or other action necessary to remove, clean up or remediate the Environmental
Violation in accordance with the terms of Section 12.3. If the Lessor does not
deliver a Termination Notice pursuant to Section 19.1, the Lessee shall, upon
completion of remedial action by the Lessee, cause to be prepared by an
environmental consultant reasonably acceptable to the Lessor a report describing
the Environmental Violation and the actions taken by the Lessee (or its agents)
in response to such Environmental Violation, and a statement by the consultant
that the Environmental Violation has been remedied in compliance in all material
respects with applicable Environmental Law. Each such Environmental Violation
shall be remedied prior to the Expiration Date. Nothing in this Article XVIII
shall reduce or limit the Lessee's obligations under the indemnity provisions
hereof.
XVIII.3. Notice of Environmental Matters. Promptly, but in any event within
sixty (60) Business Days from the date the Lessee has actual knowledge thereof,
the Lessee shall provide to the Lessor written notice of any pending or
threatened claim, action or proceeding involving any Environmental Violation on
or in connection with the Property. All such notices shall describe in
reasonable detail the nature of the claim, action or proceeding and the Lessee's
proposed response thereto. In addition, the Lessee shall provide to the Lessor,
within sixty (60) Business Days of receipt, copies of all written communications
with any Governmental Authority relating to any Environmental Law or any Release
in connection with the Property. The Lessee shall also promptly provide such
detailed reports of any such environmental claims as may reasonably be requested
by the Lessor. In the event that the Lessor receives written notice of any
pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding involving any Environmental
Violation on or in connection with the Property, the Lessor shall promptly give
notice thereof to the Lessee.
XVIII.4. Environmental Obligations of the Lessor Pursuant to the Nomura
Loan Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants set forth in
Section 4.1(d)(U) and Section 5.1(b)(D) through Section 5.1(b)(I) of the Nomura
Loan Agreement imposed upon Lessee pursuant thereto shall survive in perpetuity.

one or more of the following as the Lessor
-24-
<PAGE>
in its sole discretion shall determine, without limiting any other right or
remedy the Lessor may have on account of such Event of Default:
(a) The Lessor may, by notice to the Lessee, rescind or terminate
this Lease as of the date specified in such notice; however, (i) no
reletting, reentry or taking of possession of the Property (or any portion
thereof) by the Lessor will be construed as an election on the Lessor's
part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is
given to the Lessee, (ii) notwithstanding any reletting, reentry or taking
of possession, the Lessor may at any time thereafter elect to terminate
this Lease for a continuing Event of Default and (iii) no act or thing done
by the Lessor or any of its agents, representatives or employees and no
agreement accepting a surrender of the Property shall be valid unless the
same be made in writing and executed by the Lessor.
(b) The Lessor may (i) demand that the Lessee, and the Lessee shall
upon the written demand of the Lessor, return the Property promptly to the
Lessor in the manner and condition required by, and otherwise in accordance
with all of the provisions of, Articles XI and XIII and Section 12.3 hereof
as if the Property were being returned at the end of the Term, and the
Lessor shall not be liable for the reimbursement of the Lessee for any
costs and expenses incurred by the Lessee in connection therewith and (ii)
without prejudice to any other remedy which the Lessor may have for
possession of the Property, and to the extent and in the manner permitted
by Applicable Law, enter upon the Property and take immediate possession of
(to the exclusion of the Lessee) the Property or any part thereof and expel
or remove the Lessee and any other Person who may be occupying the
Property, by summary proceedings or otherwise, all without liability to the
Lessee for or by reason of such entry or taking of possession, whether for
the restoration of damage to property caused by such taking or otherwise
and, in addition to the Lessor's other damages, the Lessee shall be
responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by the Lessor in connection
with any reletting, including, without limitation, reasonable brokers' fees
and all costs of any alterations or repairs made by the Lessor.
(c) The Lessor may (i) sell all or any part of the Property at public
sale free and clear of any rights of the Lessee and without any duty to
account to the Lessee with respect to such action or inaction or any
proceeds (except that Excess Proceeds are payable to and shall be paid to
the Lessee) with respect thereto (except to the extent required by clause
(ii) below if the Lessor shall elect to exercise its rights thereunder) in
which event the Lessee's obligation to pay Basic Rent hereunder for periods
commencing after the date of such sale shall be terminated or
proportionately reduced, as the case may be; and (ii) if the Lessor shall
so elect, demand that the Lessee pay to the Lessor, and the Lessee shall
pay to the Lessor, on the date of such sale, as liquidated damages for loss
of a bargain and not as a penalty (the parties agreeing that the Lessor's
actual damages would be difficult to predict, but the aforementioned
liquidated damages represent a reasonable approximation of such amount) (in
lieu of Basic Rent due for periods commencing on or after the Payment Date
coinciding with such date of sale (or, if the sale date is not a Payment
Date, the Payment Date next preceding the date of such sale)), an amount
equal to (A) the excess, if any, of (1) the Lease Balance calculated as of
such Payment Date (including all Rent due and unpaid to and including such
Payment Date and), over (2) the net proceeds of such sale (that is, after
deducting all costs and expenses incurred by the Lessor incident to such
conveyance, including, without limitation, repossession costs, brokerage
commissions, prorations, transfer taxes, fees and expenses for counsel,
title insurance fees, survey costs, recording fees, and any
-25-
<PAGE>
repair costs); plus (B) interest at the Overdue Rate on the foregoing
amount from such Payment Date until the date of payment.
(d) The Lessor may, at its option, elect not to terminate this Lease
and continue to collect all Basic Rent, Supplemental Rent, and all other
amounts due the Lessor (together with all costs of collection) and enforce
the Lessee's obligations under this Lease as and when the same become due,
or are to be performed, and at the option of the Lessor, upon any
abandonment of the Property by the Lessee or re-entry of same by the
Lessor, the Lessor may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect not to
terminate this Lease and may make the necessary repairs in order to relet
the Property, and relet the Property or any part thereof for such term or
terms (which may be for a long term extending beyond the Term of this
Lease) and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and
conditions as the Lessor in its reasonable discretion may deem advisable;
and upon each such reletting all rentals actually received by the Lessor
from such reletting shall be applied to the Lessee's obligations hereunder
and the other Operative Documents in such order, proportion and priority as
the Lessor may elect in the Lessor's sole and absolute discretion. If such
rentals received from such reletting during any period are less than the
Rent with respect to the Property to be paid during that period by the
Lessee hereunder, the Lessee shall pay any deficiency, as calculated by the
Lessor, to the Lessor on the next Payment Date.
(e) Unless the Property has been sold in its entirety, the Lessor
may, whether or not the Lessor shall have exercised or shall thereafter at
any time exercise any of its rights under paragraph (b), (c) or (d) of this
Section 20.2 with respect to the Property or portion thereof, demand, by
written notice to the Lessee specifying a date (a "Termination Date") not
earlier than 10 days after the date of such notice, that the Lessee
purchase, on such Termination Date, the Property (or the remaining portion
thereof) in accordance with the provisions of Article XXII; provided,
however, that no such written notice shall be required upon the occurrence
of any Event of Default in clause (g) or (h) of Section 20.1.
(f) The Lessor may exercise any other right or remedy that may be
available to it under Applicable Law, or proceed by appropriate court
action (legal or equitable) to enforce the terms hereof or to recover
damages for the breach hereof. Separate suits may be brought to collect
any such damages for any period(s), and such suits shall not in any manner
prejudice the Lessor's right to collect any such damages for any subsequent
period(s), or the Lessor may defer any such suit until after the expiration
of the Term, in which event such suit shall be deemed not to have accrued
until the expiration of the Term.
(g) The Lessor may retain and apply against the Lessor's damages all
sums which the Lessor would, absent such Event of Default, be required to
pay to, or turn over to, the Lessee pursuant to the terms of this Lease.
(h) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and so long as same is
continuing, the Lessor, as a matter of right and without notice to the
Lessee, and without regard to the value of the Property or the solvency of
the Lessee, shall have the right to apply to any court having jurisdiction
to appoint a receiver or receivers of the Property, and the Lessee hereby
irrevocably consents to any such appointment. Any such receiver(s) shall
have all of the usual powers and duties of receivers in like or similar
cases and all of the powers and duties of the Lessor in case of
-26-
<PAGE>
entry, and shall continue as such and exercise such powers until the date
of confirmation of the sale of the Property unless such receivership is
sooner terminated.
(i) To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Lessee hereby waives
the benefit of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement
and redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshaling
in the event of any sale of any or all of the Property or any interest
therein.
(j) The Lessor shall be entitled to enforce payment of the
indebtedness and performance of the obligations secured hereby and to
exercise all rights and powers under this instrument or under any of the
other Operative Documents or other agreement or any laws now or hereafter
in force, notwithstanding some or all of the obligations secured hereby may
now or hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by mortgage, security
agreement, pledge, lien, assignment or otherwise. Neither the acceptance of
this instrument nor its enforcement, shall prejudice or in any manner
affect the Lessor's right to realize upon or enforce any other security now
or hereafter held by the Lessor, it being agreed that the Lessor shall be
entitled to enforce this instrument and any other security now or hereafter
held by the Lessor in such order and manner as the Lessor may determine in
its absolute discretion. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the
Lessor is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law
provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in
addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing
at law or in equity or by statute. Every power or remedy given by any of
the Operative Documents to the Lessor or to which it may otherwise be
entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to
time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Lessor.
(k) The Lessor may exercise any and all rights under (a) the
Certificate Pledge Agreement against Certificate A and/or (b) the
Securities Pledge Agreement against the Pledged Securities, and the
collateral represented thereby.
In no event shall the Lessor, in the exercise of the remedies provided in this
instrument (including, without limitation, in connection with the assignment of
rents to Lessor, or the appointment of a receiver and the entry of such receiver
on to all or any part of the Property), be deemed a "mortgagee in possession,"
and the Lessor shall not in any way be made liable for any act, either of
commission or omission, in connection with the exercise of such remedies.
If, pursuant to the exercise by the Lessor of its remedies pursuant to this
Section 20.2, the Lease Balance, all other amounts due and owing from the Lessee
under this Lease and the other Operative Documents have been paid in full, then
the Lessor shall remit to the Lessee any excess amounts received by the Lessor.
XX.3. Waiver of Certain Rights. If this Lease shall be terminated
pursuant to Section 20.2, the Lessee waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, (a) any notice of re-entry or the institution of legal proceedings to
obtain re-entry or possession; (b) any right of redemption, re-entry or
repossession; (c) the benefit of any laws now or hereafter in force exempting
property from liability for rent or for debt or limiting the Lessor with respect
to the election of remedies; and (d) any other rights which might otherwise
limit or modify any of the Lessor's rights or remedies under this Article XX.

PURCHASE PROVISIONS
XXII.1. Purchase Option. Provided that the Lessee shall not have given
notice of its intention to exercise the Remarketing Option, the Lessee shall
have the option on any Payment Date (a) after the second anniversary of the
Start-Up Day (exercisable by giving the Lessor irrevocable written notice (the
"Purchase Notice") of the Lessee's election to exercise such option) to purchase
all, and not less than all, of the Property on the date specified in such
Purchase Notice at a price equal to the Lease Balance theretofore accruing or
(b) to pay the Lessor the Equity Balance and reduce the amount of the Lease
Balance by the amount paid. The Lessee shall deliver the Purchase Notice to the
Lessor not less than thirty (30) days prior to such purchase or payment of the
Equity Balance. If the Lessee exercises its option to purchase the Property
pursuant to Section 22.1(a) (the "Purchase Option"), the Lessor shall transfer
to the Lessee or its designee all of the Lessor's right, title and interest in
and to the Property as of the date specified in the Purchase Notice upon receipt
of the Lease Balance in accordance with Section 25.1. Subject to Section 12.4

any Person. The Lessee may designate, in a notice given to the Lessor not less
than five (5) Business Days prior to the closing of such purchase (time being of
the essence), the transferee or transferees to whom the conveyance shall be made
(if other than to the Lessee), in which case such conveyance shall (subject to
the terms and conditions set forth herein) be made to such designee; provided,
however, that such designation of a transferee or transferees shall not cause
the Lessee to be released, fully or partially, from any of its obligations under
this Lease, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay the Lessor the
Lease Balance on the Expiration Date.
ARTICLE XXIII
RENEWAL PROCEDURES
XXIII.1. Renewal. Subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Lessee
and the Lessor may agree to renew the Term for the Property for up to five one-
year terms (each, a "Renewal Term"), with each such Renewal Term to commence on
the first day following the Expiration Date then in effect. The effective
extension of the Term for the Property shall be subject to the satisfaction of
each of the following conditions:

delivered written notice to the Lessor of the Lessee's determination not to

-28-
<PAGE>
(b) on the Expiration Date then in effect prior to any renewal, no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

ARTICLE XXIV
REMARKETING OPTION
XXIV.1. Option to Remarket. Subject to the fulfillment of each of the
conditions set forth in this Section 24.1, the Lessee shall have the option
beginning on the second anniversary of the Start-Up Day (the "Remarketing
Option") to market and complete the sale of the Property for the Lessor.
The Lessee's effective exercise and consummation of the Remarketing Option
shall be subject to the due and timely fulfillment of each of the following
provisions as to the Property as of the dates set forth below.
(a) Not later than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the
Expiration Date, the Lessee shall give to the Lessor written notice of the
Lessee's exercise of the Remarketing Option, which exercise shall be
irrevocable. If Lessee does not deliver a notice of its intention not to
renew this Lease as provided in Section 23.1 and fails to timely provide
the Remarketing Notice, then this Lease shall be renewed for a Renewal Term
as provided in Section 23.1. If Lessee delivers the notice of its intention
not to renew this Lease as provided in Section 23.1 and fails to timely
provide the Remarketing Notice, then Lessee shall be deemed to have elected
to exercise its Purchase Option under Section 22.1(i).
(b) Not later than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the
Expiration Date, the Lessee shall deliver to the Lessor an Environmental
Audit for the Property. Such Environmental Audit shall be prepared by an
environmental consultant selected by the Lessor in the Lessor's reasonable
discretion and shall contain conclusions reasonably satisfactory to the
Lessor as to the environmental status of the Property. If any such
Environmental Audit indicates any exceptions with respect to which a Phase
Two environment assessment is recommended, the Lessee shall also deliver
(i) a Phase Two environmental assessment by such environmental consultant
within thirty (30) days prior to the Expiration Date and (ii) a certificate
of such environmental consultant prior to the Expiration Date showing the
completion of all remedial action in compliance with Applicable Law.
(c) On the date of the Lessee's notice to the Lessor of the Lessee's
exercise of the Remarketing Option, and on the Expiration Date, no Event of
Default shall exist.
(d) The Lessee shall have completed in all Material respects all
Modifications, restoration and rebuilding of the Property pursuant to
Sections 14.1 and 18.1 (as the case may be) and shall have fulfilled in all
Material respects all of the conditions and requirements in connection
-29-
<PAGE>
therewith pursuant to said Sections, in each case by the date on which the
Lessor receives the Lessee's notice of the Lessee's exercise of the
Remarketing Option (time being of the essence), regardless of whether the
same shall be within the Lessee's control. The Lessee shall have also paid
the cost of all Modifications commenced prior to the Expiration Date. The
Lessee shall not have been excused pursuant to Section 16.1 from complying
with any Applicable Law that involved the extension of the ultimate
imposition of such Applicable Law beyond the last day of the Term. Any
Permitted Liens (other than Lessor Liens) on the Property that were
contested by the Lessee shall have been removed.
(e) During the Marketing Period, the Lessee shall, as nonexclusive
agent for the Lessor, use best efforts to sell the Lessor's interest in the
Property and will attempt to obtain the highest purchase price therefor and
for not less than the Fair Market Sales Value of the Property. The Lessee
will be responsible for hiring brokers and making the Property available
for inspection by prospective purchasers. The Lessee shall promptly upon
request permit inspection of the Property and any maintenance records
relating to the Property by the Lessor and any potential purchasers, and
shall otherwise do all things reasonably necessary to sell and deliver
possession of the Property to any purchaser. All such marketing of the
Property shall be at the Lessee's sole expense. The Lessee shall allow the
Lessor and any potential qualified purchaser reasonable access to the
Property for the purpose of inspecting the same.
(f) The Lessee shall submit all bids to the Lessor, and the Lessor
will have the right to submit any one or more bids. The Lessee shall
deliver to the Lessor, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the
Expiration Date, binding written unconditional (except as set forth below),
irrevocable offer or offers by such purchaser or purchasers offering the
highest bid to purchase the Property. No such purchaser shall be the Lessee
or an Affiliate of the Lessee. The written offer must specify the
Expiration Date as the closing date unless the Lessor shall otherwise agree
in its reasonable discretion. Any sale by the Lessee shall be for the
highest cash bid submitted to the Lessor. The determination of the highest
bid shall be made by the Lessor prior to the end of the Marketing Period,
but in any event, the Lessor shall have no obligation to approve any bid
unless the aggregate amount of the highest bids for the Property equals or
exceeds an amount equal to the Lease Balance minus the Contingent Rental
Adjustment determined as of the Expiration Date. All bids shall be on an
all-cash basis unless the Lessor shall otherwise agree in its sole
discretion.
(g) In connection with any such sale of the Property, the Lessee will
provide to each Purchaser all customary "seller's" indemnities,
representations and warranties regarding absence of Liens (other than
Lessor Liens) and the condition of the Property. The Lessee shall have
obtained, at its cost and expense, all required governmental and regulatory
consents and approvals and shall have made all filings as required by
Applicable Law in order to carry out and complete the transfer of the
Property. As to the Lessor, any such sale shall be made on an "as is, with
all faults" basis without representation or warranty by the Lessor other
than the absence of Lessor Liens. Any agreement as to such sale shall be
made subject to the Lessor's rights hereunder.
(h) The Lessee shall pay directly, and not from the sale proceeds,
all prorations, credits, costs and expenses of the sale of the Property,
whether incurred by the Lessor or the Lessee, including without limitation,
the cost of all title insurance, surveys, environmental reports,
appraisals, transfer taxes, the Lessor's reasonable attorneys' fees, the
Lessee's attorneys' fees, commissions, escrow fees, recording fees, and all
applicable documentary and other transfer taxes.
-30-
<PAGE>
(i) The Lessee shall pay to the Lessor on or prior to the Expiration
Date (or to such other Person as the Lessor shall notify the Lessee in
writing) an amount equal to the Contingent Rental Adjustment for the
Property plus all Basic Rent and all other amounts hereunder which have
accrued or will accrue prior to or as of the Expiration Date or such other
closing date approved by the parties, in the type of funds specified in
Section 7.4 hereof.
(j) The Lessee shall pay to the Lessor on or prior to the Expiration
Date the amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to Section 26.2
hereof.
(k) If the Lessor approves any bid for the Property, the purchase of
the Property shall be consummated on or before the Expiration Date and the
gross proceeds (the "Gross Proceeds") of the sale of the Property, less the
documented expenses incurred by the Lessee under clause (h) shall be paid
directly to the Lessor; provided, however, that if the sum of (x) the
remaining Gross Proceeds from such sale or sales plus (y) the Contingent
Rental Adjustment received by the Lessor pursuant to clause (i) plus (z)
amounts received by the Lessor pursuant to Section 26.2 hereof exceeds the
Lease Balance as of such date, then the excess shall be paid to the Lessee
on the Expiration Date or such other closing date approved by the parties.
(l) All reconstruction, refurbishment and repair to the Property
resulting from a Casualty or Condemnation shall have been completed prior
to the end of the Marketing Period.
If one or more of the foregoing provisions shall not be fulfilled as of the
date set forth above with respect to the Property, then the Lessor shall declare
by written notice to the Lessee the Remarketing Option to be null and void
(whether or not it has been theretofore exercised by the Lessee), in which event
all of the Lessee's rights under this Section 24.1 shall immediately terminate
and the Lessee shall be obligated to purchase the Property pursuant to Section
22.1 on the Expiration Date. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the
contrary, in the event that the second anniversary of the Start-Up Day has not
occurred prior to the Expiration Date, the Lessee shall pay the Equity Balance
to the Lessor on the Expiration Date.
If the Lessee effectively elects the Remarketing Option and no sale of the
Property is consummated prior to the end of the Marketing Period, the Lessee
shall, in addition to making the payment required pursuant to Section 24.1(i)
above, return the Property to the Lessor (or to any other Person specified by
the Lessor). In connection with any such return of the Property, the Lessee
shall, at its own cost and expense, do each of the following:
(i) the Lessee shall, on or prior to the Expiration Date, execute and
deliver to the Lessor (or to the Lessor's designee) (A) a deed with respect
to the Property containing representations and warranties of grantor to the
Lessor (or such other Person) regarding the absence of Liens (other than
Permitted Liens of the type described in clauses (i) and (iii) of the
definition thereof), (B) a bill of sale with respect to any Equipment then
located on the Property and (C) an assignment of the Lessee's entire
interest in the Property (which shall include an assignment of all of the
Lessee's right, title and interest in and to any Net Proceeds with respect
to the Property not previously received by the Lessee and an assignment of
leases of the Property), in each case in recordable form and otherwise in
conformity with local custom and free and clear of any Liens attributable
to the Lessee;
-31-
<PAGE>
(ii) the Lessee shall execute and deliver to Lessor and the Lessor's
title insurance company an affidavit as to the absence of any Liens (other
than Permitted Liens of the type described in clauses (i) and (iii) of the
definition thereof) and shall execute and deliver to the Lessor a statement
of termination of this Lease to the extent relating to the Property;
(iii) the Lessee shall, on the Expiration Date, transfer possession
of the Property to the Lessor or any Person designated by the Lessor, by
surrendering the same into the possession of the Lessor or such Person, as
the case may be, in the condition required by this Section 24.1 and in
compliance with Applicable Law;
(iv) the Lessee shall, for a period of up to one year after the
Expiration Date, cooperate reasonably with the Lessor and/or any Person
designated by the Lessor to receive the Property, which cooperation shall
include reasonable efforts with respect to the following, all of which the
Lessee shall do on or before the Expiration Date or as soon thereafter as
is reasonably practicable: providing copies of all books and records
regarding the maintenance and ownership of the Property and all know-how,
data and technical information relating thereto, granting or assigning all
licenses necessary for the operation and maintenance of the Property and
cooperating reasonably in seeking and obtaining all necessary Governmental
Action. The obligations of the Lessee under this paragraph shall survive
the expiration or termination of this Lease; and
(v) no subleases with respect to the Property or any portion thereof
shall be in effect on the Expiration Date.
Except as expressly set forth herein, the Lessee shall have no right, power
or authority to bind the Lessor in connection with any proposed sale or sales of
the Property.
XXIV.2. Certain Obligations Continue. During the Marketing Period, the
obligation of the Lessee to pay Rent shall continue undiminished until payment
in full to the Lessor of the Contingent Rental Adjustment and all other amounts
due to the Lessor by Lessee under the Operative Documents to which the Lessee is
a party. The Lessor shall have the right, but shall be under no duty, to
solicit bids, to inquire into the efforts of the Lessee to obtain bids or
otherwise to take action in connection with any such sale, other than as
expressly provided in this Article XXIV.
ARTICLE XXV

resulting from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee (it
being understood that the Lessee shall be required to indemnify an Indemnitee

limiting the express rights of any Indemnitee under this Section 26.1, this
Section 26.1 shall be construed as an indemnity only and not a guaranty of
residual value of the Property.
XXVI.2. End of Term Indemnity.
(a) If the Lessee elects the Remarketing Option and there would,
after giving effect, to the proposed remarketing transactions, be a
Shortfall Amount, then prior to the Expiration Date and as a condition to

Market Sales Value of the Property from that anticipated for such date in
the Appraisal delivered on the Acquisition Date.
(b) If the Lessee elects the Remarketing Option, then on or prior to
the Expiration Date, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor an amount (not to
exceed the Shortfall Amount) equal to the portion of the Shortfall Amount

(i) extraordinary use, failure to maintain, to repair, to

applicable laws, failure to use, workmanship, method of installation
or removal or maintenance, repair, rebuilding or replacement,

has not been fully paid, any loss of value of the Property), damages,
liabilities, fines, penalties, charges, administrative and judicial proceedings
(including informal proceedings) and orders, judgments, remedial action,
requirements, enforcement actions of any kind, and all reasonable and documented
costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (including but not limited

in violation of Environmental Law, or any releases or discharges of any
Hazardous Substance on, under, from or onto the Property in violation of
Environmental Law,
-35-
<PAGE>
(b) any activity, including, without limitation, construction,
carried on or undertaken on or off the Property, and whether by the Lessee
or any predecessor in title or any employees, agents, contractors or

treatment, removal, storage, decontamination, clean-up, transport or
disposal of any Hazardous Substances in violation of Environmental Law that
at any time are located or present on or under or that at any time migrate,
flow, percolate, diffuse or in any way move onto or under the Property,
(c) loss of or damage to any property or the environment (including,
without limitation, clean-up costs, response costs, remediation and removal
costs, cost of corrective action, costs of financial assurance, fines and
penalties and natural resource damages), or death or injury to any Person,
and all expenses associated with the protection of wildlife, aquatic
species, vegetation, flora and fauna, and any mitigative action required by
or under Environmental Laws,
(d) any claim concerning lack of compliance with Environmental Laws,
or any act or omission causing an environmental condition that requires
remediation or would allow any Governmental Authority to record a Lien on
the land records, or
(e) any residual contamination on or under the Land, or affecting any
natural resources, and to any contamination of any property or natural
resources arising in connection with the generation, use, handling,
storage, transport or disposal of any such Hazardous Substances, and
irrespective of whether any of such activities were or will be undertaken
in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, codes and ordinances;
provided, however, the Lessee shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnitee
under this Section 26.3 for (1) any Claim to the extent resulting from the
willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee (it being understood
that, unless the applicable Indemnitee was in possession of the Property and
caused the Claim, the Lessee shall be required to indemnify an Indemnitee even
if the ordinary (but not gross) negligence of such Indemnitee caused or
contributed to such Claim) or (2) any Claim to the extent attributable to acts
or events occurring after the expiration of the Term or the return or
remarketing of the Property so long as the Lessor is not exercising remedies
against the Lessee in respect of the Operative Documents. It is expressly
understood and agreed that the indemnity provided for herein shall survive the
expiration or termination of and shall be separate and independent from any
remedy under this Lease or any other Operative Document.
XXVI.4. Proceedings in Respect of Claims. With respect to any amount that
the Lessee is requested by an Indemnitee to pay by reason of Section 26.1 or
26.3, such Indemnitee shall, if so requested by the Lessee and prior to any
payment, submit such additional information to the Lessee as the Lessee may
reasonably request and which is in the possession of such Indemnitee to
substantiate properly the requested payment.
In case any action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against any
Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Lessee of the commencement
thereof, and the Lessee shall be entitled, at its expense, to participate in,
and, to the extent that the Lessee desires to, assume and control the defense
thereof; provided, however, that the Lessee shall not have any increased
liability as a direct result of an Indemnitee's failure to provide such notice
promptly; provided, further, that the Lessee shall have acknowledged in writing
its obligation to fully indemnify such Indemnitee in respect of such action,
suit or
-36-
<PAGE>
proceeding, and, the Lessee shall keep such Indemnitee fully apprised of the
status of such action, suit or proceeding and shall provide such Indemnitee with
all information with respect to such action, suit or proceeding as such
Indemnitee shall reasonably request, and provided, further, that the Lessee
shall not be entitled to assume and control the defense of any such action, suit
or proceeding if and to the extent that, (A) in the reasonable opinion of such
Indemnitee, (x) such action, suit or proceeding involves any risk of imposition
of criminal liability or any risk of imposition of material civil liability on
such Indemnitee or will involve a material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss
of, or the creation of any Lien (other than a Permitted Lien or Lessor Lien) on
the Property or any part thereof unless, in the case of civil liability, the
Lessee shall have posted a bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to the
relevant Indemnitees in respect to such risk or (y) the control of such action,
suit or proceeding would involve an actual or potential conflict of interest,
(B) such proceeding involves Claims not fully indemnified by the Lessee which
the Lessee and the Indemnitee have been unable to sever from the indemnified
claim(s), or (C) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The
Indemnitee may participate in a reasonable manner at its own expense and with
its own counsel in any proceeding conducted by the Lessee in accordance with the
foregoing. The Lessee shall not enter into any settlement or other compromise
with respect to any Claim which is entitled to be indemnified under Section 26.1
or 26.3 without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld in the case of a money settlement not involving an
admission of liability of such Indemnitee; provided, however, that in the event
that such Indemnitee withholds consent to any settlement or other compromise,
the Lessee shall not be required to indemnify such Indemnitee under Section 26.1
or 26.3 to the extent that the applicable Claim (x) is for legal fees and
expenses incurred after the date of the proposed settlement or (y) results in a
judgment in excess of such offered money settlement.
Each Indemnitee shall at the expense of the Lessee supply the Lessee with
such information and documents reasonably requested by the Lessee as are
necessary or advisable for the Lessee to participate in any action, suit or
proceeding to the extent permitted by Section 26.1 or 26.3. Unless an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no Indemnitee shall enter into
any settlement or other compromise with respect to any Claim which is entitled
to be indemnified under Section 26.1 or 26.3 without the prior written consent
of the Lessee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless such
Indemnitee waives its right to be indemnified under Section 26.1 or 26.3 with
respect to such Claim.
Upon payment in full of any Claim by the Lessee pursuant to Section 26.1 or
26.3 to or on behalf of an Indemnitee, the Lessee, without any further action,
shall be subrogated to any and all claims that such Indemnitee may have relating
thereto (other than claims in respect of insurance policies maintained by such
Indemnitee at its own expense), and such Indemnitee shall execute such
instruments of assignment and conveyance, evidence of claims and payment and
such other documents, instruments and agreements as may be necessary to preserve
any such claims and otherwise cooperate with the Lessee and give such further
assurances as are necessary or advisable to enable the Lessee vigorously to
pursue such claims.
Any amount payable to an Indemnitee pursuant to Section 26.1 or 26.3 shall
be paid to such Indemnitee within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a
written demand therefor from such Indemnitee, accompanied by a written statement
describing in reasonable detail the basis for such indemnity and the computation
of the amount so payable and, if requested by the Lessee, such determination
shall be verified by a nationally recognized independent accounting firm
mutually acceptable to the Lessee and the Indemnitee at the expense of the
Lessee; provided, however, that if the Lessee has assumed the defense of the
related Claim or is paying the costs of the Indemnitee's defense of the related
claim on an ongoing basis, the Lessee shall not be required to pay such amount
to the applicable Indemnitee until such time as a
-37-
<PAGE>
judgment is entered with respect to such Claim, the enforcement of which is not
stayed or which judgment is not bonded over, or the Claim is otherwise settled
or lost. To the extent the Lessee suffers any losses or damages as a result of
an Indemnitee's failure to provide the Lessee with prompt notice of the
commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against any Indemnitee in
accordance with the first sentence of the second paragraph of this Section 26.4,
the amounts of such losses or damages may be offset against the Lessee's
indemnification obligation to such Indemnitee.
XXVI.5. General Tax Indemnity.
(a) Indemnification. The Lessee shall pay and assume liability for,
and does hereby agree to indemnify, protect and defend the Property and all
Tax Indemnitees, and hold them harmless against, all Impositions on an
After Tax Basis.
(b) Contests. If any claim shall be made against any Tax Indemnitee
or if any proceeding shall be commenced against any Tax Indemnitee
(including a written notice of such proceeding) for any Imposition as to
which the Lessee may have an indemnity obligation pursuant to this Section
26.5, or if any Tax Indemnitee shall determine that any Imposition to which
the Lessee may have an indemnity obligation pursuant to this Section 26.5
may be payable, such Tax Indemnitee shall promptly (and in any event,
within 30 days) notify the Lessee in writing (provided that failure to so
notify the Lessee within 30 days shall not alter such Tax Indemnitee's
rights under this Section 26.5 except to the extent such failure precludes
or materially adversely affects the ability to conduct a contest of any
indemnified Taxes) and shall not take any action with respect to such
claim, proceeding or Imposition without the written consent of the Lessee
(such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or unreasonably delayed) for
30 days after the receipt of such notice by the Lessee; provided, however,
that in the case of any such claim or proceeding, if such Tax Indemnitee
shall be required by law or regulation to take action prior to the end of
such 30-day period, such Tax Indemnitee shall in such notice to the Lessee,
so inform the Lessee, and such Tax Indemnitee shall not take any action
with respect to such claim, proceeding or Imposition without the consent of
the Lessee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or unreasonably
delayed) for 10 days after the receipt of such notice by the Lessee unless
the Tax Indemnitee shall be required by law or regulation to take action
prior to the end of such 10-day period.
The Lessee shall be entitled for a period of 30 days from receipt of
such notice from the Tax Indemnitee (or such shorter period as the Tax
Indemnitee has notified the Lessee is required by law or regulation for the
Tax Indemnitee to commence such contest), to request in writing that such
Tax Indemnitee contest the imposition of such Tax, at the Lessee's expense.
If (x) such contest can be pursued in the name of the Lessee and
independently from any other proceeding involving a Tax liability of such
Tax Indemnitee for which the Lessee has not agreed to indemnify such Tax
Indemnitee, (y) such contest must be pursued in the name of the Tax
Indemnitee, but can be pursued independently from any other proceeding
involving a Tax liability of such Tax Indemnitee for which the Lessee has
not agreed to indemnify such Tax Indemnitee or (z) the Tax Indemnitee so
requests, then the Lessee shall be permitted to control the contest of such
claim, provided that in the case of a contest described in clause (y), if
the Tax Indemnitee determines in good faith that such contest by the Lessee
could have a material adverse impact on the business or operations of the
Tax Indemnitee and provides a written explanation to the Lessee of such
determination, the Tax Indemnitee may elect to control or reassert control
of the contest, and
-38-
<PAGE>
provided, that by taking control of the contest, Lessee acknowledges that
it is responsible for the Imposition ultimately determined to be due by
reason of such claim, and provided, further, that in determining the
application of clauses (x) and (y) of the preceding sentence, each Tax
Indemnitee shall take any and all reasonable steps to segregate claims for
any Taxes for which the Lessee indemnifies hereunder from Taxes for which
the Lessee is not obligated to indemnify hereunder, so that the Lessee can
control the contest of the former. In all other claims requested to be
contested by the Lessee, the Tax Indemnitee shall control the contest of
such claim, acting through counsel reasonably acceptable to the Lessee. In
no event shall the Lessee be permitted to contest (or the Tax Indemnitee
required to contest) any claim, (A) if such Tax Indemnitee provides the
Lessee with a legal opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Lessee
that such action, suit or proceeding involves a risk of imposition of
criminal liability or will involve a material risk of the sale, forfeiture
or loss of, or the creation of any Lien (other than a Permitted Lien or
Lessor Lien) on the Property or any part of any thereof unless the Lessee
shall have posted and maintained a bond or other security reasonably
satisfactory to the relevant Tax Indemnitee in respect to such risk, (B) if
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing unless the Lessee shall
have posted and maintained a bond or other security reasonably satisfactory
to the relevant Tax Indemnitee in respect of the Taxes subject to such
claim and any and all expenses for which the Lessee is responsible
hereunder reasonably foreseeable in connection with the contest of such
claim, (C) unless the Lessee shall have agreed to pay and shall pay, to
such Tax Indemnitee within ten (10) Business Days after demand all
reasonable out-of-pocket costs, losses and expenses that such Tax
Indemnitee may incur in connection with contesting such Imposition
including all reasonable legal, accounting and investigatory fees and
disbursements, or (D) if such contest shall involve the payment of the Tax
prior to the contest, unless the Lessee shall provide to the Tax Indemnitee
an interest-free advance in an amount equal to the Imposition that the
Indemnitee is required to pay (with no additional net after-tax costs to
such Tax Indemnitee). In addition for Tax Indemnitee controlled contests
and claims contested in the name of the Tax Indemnitee in a public forum,
no contest shall be required: (A) unless the amount of the potential
indemnity (taking into account all similar or logically related claims that
have been or could be raised in any audit involving such Tax Indemnitee for
which the Lessee may be liable to pay an indemnity under this Section
26.5(b)) exceeds $500,000 and (B) unless, if requested by the Tax
Indemnitee, the Lessee shall have provided to the Tax Indemnitee an opinion
of counsel selected by the Lessee (which may be in-house counsel) (except,
in the case of income taxes indemnified hereunder which shall be an opinion
of independent tax counsel selected by the Tax Indemnitee and reasonably
acceptable to the Lessee) that a reasonable basis exists to contest such
claim. In no event shall a Tax Indemnitee be required to appeal an adverse
judicial determination to the United States Supreme Court.
The party conducting the contest shall consult in good faith with the
other party and its counsel with respect to the contest of such claim for
Taxes (or claim for refund) but the decisions regarding what actions to be
taken shall be made by the controlling party in its sole judgement,
provided, however, that if the Tax Indemnitee is the controlling party and
the Lessee recommends the acceptance of a settlement offer made by the
relevant Governmental Authority and such Tax Indemnitee rejects such
settlement offer then the amount for which the Lessee will be required to
indemnify such Tax Indemnitee with respect to the Taxes subject to such
offer shall not exceed the amount which it would have owed if such
settlement offer had been accepted. In addition, the controlling party
shall keep the noncontrolling party reasonably informed as to the progress
of the contest, and shall provide the noncontrolling party with a copy of
(or appropriate excerpts from)
-39-
<PAGE>
any reports or claims issued by the relevant auditing agents or taxing
authority to the controlling party thereof, in connection with such claim
or the contest thereof.
Each Tax Indemnitee shall at the Lessee's expense supply the Lessee
with such information and documents reasonably requested by the Lessee as
are necessary or advisable for the Lessee to participate in any action,
suit or proceeding to the extent permitted by this Section 26.5(b). No Tax
Indemnitee shall enter into any settlement or other compromise or fail to
appeal an adverse ruling with respect to any claim which is entitled to be
indemnified under this Section 26.5 (and with respect to which contest is
required under this Section 26.5(b)) without the prior written consent of
the Lessee, unless such Tax Indemnitee waives its right to be indemnified
under this Section 26.5 with respect to such claim.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, a Tax
Indemnitee will not be required to contest (and the Lessee shall not be
permitted to contest) a claim with respect to the imposition of any Tax if
such Tax Indemnitee shall waive its right to indemnification under this
Section 26.5 with respect to such claim (and any claim with respect to such
year or any other taxable year the contest of which is materially adversely
affected as a result of such waiver).
(c) Reimbursement for Tax Savings. If (x) a Tax Indemnitee or any
Affiliate thereof realizes a deduction, offset, credit or refund of any
Taxes or any other savings or benefit as a result of any indemnity paid by
the Lessee pursuant to this Section 26.5 or (y) by reason of the incurrence
or imposition of any Tax (or the circumstances or event giving rise
thereto) for which a Tax Indemnitee is indemnified hereunder or any payment
made to or for the account of such Tax Indemnitee by the Lessee pursuant to
this Section 26.5 or any payment made by a Tax Indemnitee to the Lessee by
reason of this Section 26.5(c), such Tax Indemnitee at any time actually
realizes a reduction in any Taxes for which the Lessee is not required to
indemnify such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 26.5 which reduction
in Taxes was not taken into account in computing such payment by the Lessee
to or for the account of such Tax Indemnitee or by the Tax Indemnitee to
the Lessee, then such Tax Indemnitee shall promptly pay to the Lessee (xx)
the amount of such deduction, offset, credit, refund, or other savings or
benefit together with the amount of any interest received by such Tax
Indemnitee on account of such deduction, offset, credit, refund or other
savings or benefit or (yy) an amount equal to such reduction in Taxes, as
the case may be, in either case together with an amount equal to any
reduced Taxes payable by such Tax Indemnitee as a result of such payment;
provided that no such payment shall be made so long as a Default or Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing but shall be paid promptly
after cure of such Default or Event of Default. Each Tax Indemnitee agrees
to take such actions as the Lessee may reasonably request (provided in the
good faith judgment of the Tax Indemnitee, such actions would not result in
a material adverse effect on the Tax Indemnitee for which the Tax
Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification from the Lessee) and to
otherwise act in good faith to claim such refunds and other available Tax
benefits, and take such other actions as may be reasonable to minimize any
payment due from the Lessee pursuant to this Section 26.5 and to maximize
the amount of any Tax savings available to it. The disallowance or
reduction of any credit, refund or other tax savings with respect to which
a Tax Indemnitee has made a payment to the Lessee under this Section
26.5(c) shall be treated as a Tax for which the Lessee is obligated to
indemnify such Tax Indemnitee hereunder without regard to the exclusions
set forth in the definition of Impositions except the exclusions set forth
in (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (ix), (x), (xi), (xiv) and (xvi) of such
definition.
-40-
<PAGE>
(d) Payments. Any Imposition indemnifiable under this Section 26.5
shall be paid directly when due to the applicable taxing authority if
direct payment is practicable and permitted. If direct payment to the
applicable taxing authority is not permitted or is otherwise not made, any
amount payable to a Tax Indemnitee pursuant to Section 26.5 shall be paid
within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written demand therefor from
such Tax Indemnitee accompanied by a written statement describing in
reasonable detail the amount so payable, but not before two Business Days
prior to the date that the relevant Taxes are due. Any payments made
pursuant to this Section 26.5 shall be made directly to the Tax Indemnitee
entitled thereto or the Lessee, as the case may be, in immediately
available funds at such bank or to such account as specified by the payee
in written directions to the payor, or, if no such direction shall have
been given, by check of the payor payable to the order of the payee by
certified mail, postage prepaid at its address as set forth in Schedule I
hereto. Upon the request of any Tax Indemnitee with respect to a Tax that
the Lessee is required to pay, the Lessee shall furnish to such Tax
Indemnitee the original or a certified copy of a receipt for the Lessee's
payment of such Tax or such other evidence of payment as is reasonably
acceptable to such Tax Indemnitee.
(e) Reports. In the case of any report, return or statement required
to be filed with respect to any Taxes that are subject to indemnification
under this Section 26.5 and of which the Lessee has knowledge, the Lessee
shall promptly notify the Tax Indemnitee of such requirement and, at the
Lessee's expense (i) if the Lessee is permitted (unless otherwise requested
by the Tax Indemnitee) by Applicable Law, timely file such report, return
or statement in its own name or (ii) if such report, return or statement is
required to be in the name of or filed by such Tax Indemnitee or the Tax
Indemnitee otherwise requests that such report, return or statement for
filing by such Tax Indemnitee in such manner as shall be reasonably
satisfactory to such Tax Indemnitee and send the same to the Tax Indemnitee
for filing no later than 15 days prior to the due date therefor. In any
case in which the Tax Indemnitee will file any such report, return or
statement, the Lessee shall, upon written request of such Tax Indemnitee,
provide such Tax Indemnitee with such information as is reasonably
necessary to allow the Tax Indemnitee to file such report, return or
statement.
(f) Verification. At the Lessee's request, the amount of any
indemnity payment by the Lessee or any payment by a Tax Indemnitee to the
Lessee pursuant to this Section 26.5 shall be verified and certified by an
independent public accounting firm mutually acceptable to the Lessee and
the Tax Indemnitee. The costs of such verification shall be borne by the
Lessee unless such verification shall result in an adjustment in the
Lessee's favor of the lesser of (i) $10,000, and (ii) five (5%) percent of
the payment as computed by the Tax Indemnitee, in which case such fee shall
be paid by the Tax Indemnitee. In no event shall the Lessee have the right
to review the Tax Indemnitee's tax returns or receive any other
confidential information from the Tax Indemnitee in connection with such
verification. Any information provided to such accountants by any Person
shall be and remain the exclusive property of such Person and shall be
deemed by the parties to be (and the accountants will confirm in writing
that they will treat such information as) the private, proprietary and
confidential property of such Person, and no Person other than such Person
and the accountants shall be entitled thereto and all such materials shall
be returned to such Person. Such accounting firm shall be requested to make
its determination within 30 days of the Lessee's request for verifications
and the computations of the accounting firm shall be final, binding and
conclusive upon the Lessee and the Tax Indemnitee. The parties agree that
the sole responsibility
-41-
<PAGE>
of the independent public accounting firm shall be to verify the amount of
a payment pursuant to this Lease and that matters of interpretation of this
Lease are not within the scope of the independent accounting firm's
responsibilities.
(g) Tax Ownership. The Lessor represents and warrants that it will
not, prior to the termination of this Lease, claim ownership of (or any tax
benefits, including depreciation, with respect to) the Property for any
income tax purposes, it being understood that the Lessee is and will remain
the owner of the Property for such income tax purposes until the
termination of this Lease. If, notwithstanding the income tax intentions of
the parties as set forth herein, the Lessor actually receives any income
tax deductions, reductions in income tax or other income tax benefit as a
result of any claim for, or recharacterization requiring such party to
take, any tax benefits attributable to ownership of the Property for income
tax purposes, the Lessor shall pay to the Lessee, together with an amount
equal to any reduced Taxes payable by such Tax Indemnitee as a result of
such payment, the amount of such income tax savings actually realized by
the Lessor (less the amount of any anticipated increase in income tax which
the Lessor determines is currently payable as a result of such claim or
recharacterization), provided that the Lessee shall agree to reimburse the
Lessor for any subsequent increase in the Lessor's income taxes resulting
from such claim or recharacterization not taken into account in the payment
made to the Lessee, up to the amount paid to the Lessee by the Lessor. The
parties agree that this Section 26.5(g) is intended to require a payment to
the Lessee if and only if the Lessor shall have actually received an
unanticipated tax savings with respect to the Property that would not have
been received if the Lessor had advanced funds to the Lessee in the form of
a loan secured by the Property in an amount equal to the Lease Balance.
Nothing in this Section 26.5(g) shall be construed to require the Lessor to
take any affirmative action to realize any tax savings if in its good faith
judgment such action may have a material adverse affect on the Lessor.
XXVI.6. Funding Losses. If any payment of Rent or the Lease Balance,
including pursuant to the Lessee's exercise of the Purchase Option under Section
22.1, is made on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period
applicable thereto, the Lessee shall reimburse the Lessor within fifteen (15)
days after demand for any actual resulting loss or expense incurred by it,
including any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from
third parties, swaps, hedges or similar transactions entered into in connection
with or in contemplation of transactions relating to the Property, but excluding
loss of margin for the period after any such payment or conversion or failure to
borrow or prepay, provided that the Lessor shall have delivered to the Lessee a
certificate signed by an officer of the Lessor as to the amount of such loss or
expense, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error,
and provided, further, that such loss shall in no event exceed the then
effective Lease Rate which would have been payable for the balance of such
Interest Period. The Lessor will, at the request of the Lessee, furnish such
additional information concerning the determination of such loss as the Lessee
may reasonably request.
XXVI.7. Regulation D Compensation. During the Term, for so long as the
Lessor (or FBTC) is required to maintain reserves against "Eurocurrency
Liabilities" (or any other category of liabilities which include deposits by
reference to which the Lease Rate is determined or any category of extensions of
credit or other assets which includes loans by a non-United States office of the
Lessor to United States residents), and, as a result, the cost to the Lessor (or
its Funding Office) of making or maintaining its Advances is increased, then the
Lessor may require the Lessee to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of
Rent, an additional amount at a rate per annum up to but not exceeding the
excess of (i) (A) the applicable
-42-
<PAGE>
Eurodollar Rate divided by (B) one minus the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements
and (ii) the applicable Eurodollar Rate. In the event that the Lessor wishes to
require payment of such additional amount, the Lessor (x) shall so notify the
Lessee, in which case such additional Rent shall be payable to the Lessor at the
place indicated in such notice with respect to each Interest Period commencing
at least three Business Days after the giving of such notice and (y) shall
furnish to the Lessee at least five Business Days prior to each date on which
Rent is payable a certificate setting forth the amount to which it is then
entitled under this Section (which shall be consistent with its good faith
estimate of the level at which the related reserves are maintained by it). Each
such certificate shall be accompanied by such information as the Lessee may
reasonably request as to the computation set forth therein.
XXVI.8. Deposits Unavailable. If on or prior to the first day of any
Interest Period:
(a) deposits in dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being
offered to the Lessor (or its Affiliates) in the relevant market for such
Interest Period, or
(b) the Lessor advises the Lessee that the Eurodollar Rate as
determined by the Lessor will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to
the Lessor of funding Advances for such Interest Period,
the Lessor shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Lessee, whereupon until
the Lessor notifies the Lessee that the circumstances giving rise to such
suspension no longer exist, the Advance shall begin to bear interest at the
Alternate Base Rate on the last day of the then current Interest Period
applicable thereto. The Lessor shall provide to the Lessee a statement in
writing of the Alternate Base Rate as calculated hereunder.
XXVI.9. Illegality. If, on or after the date hereof, the adoption of any
applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central
bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or compliance by the Lessor (or its Funding Office) with any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority,
central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for the
Lessor (or its Funding Office) to make, maintain or fund the Advance, and the
Lessor shall so notify the Lessee, whereupon until the Lessor notifies the
Lessee that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist,
the obligation to make the Advance shall be suspended. The Lessor, with the
consent of the Lessee (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld), will
designate a different Funding Office if such designation will avoid the need for
giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of the Lessor, be otherwise
disadvantageous to the Lessor. If such notice is given (i) the Lessee shall be
entitled upon its request to a reasonable explanation of the factors underlying
such notice and (ii) the Advance shall begin to bear interest at the Alternate
Base Rate either (a) on the last day of the then current Interest Period
applicable thereto, if the Lessor may lawfully continue to maintain and fund the
Advance to such day or (b) immediately, if the Lessor shall determine that it
may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund the Advance to such day. The
Lessor shall provide to the Lessee a statement in writing of the Alternate Base
Rate as calculated hereunder.
XXVI.10. Increased Cost and Reduced Return.
(a) In the event that the adoption of any applicable law, rule or
regulation, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application
thereof by any governmental authority, central bank
-43-
<PAGE>
or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof or compliance by the Lessor with any request or directive after the
date hereof (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority,
central bank or comparable agency:
(i) does or shall subject the Lessor to any additional tax of
any kind whatsoever with respect to the Operative Documents or the
Advance made by it, or change the basis or the applicable rate of
taxation of payments to the Lessor of principal, interest or any other
amount payable hereunder (except for the imposition of or change in
any tax on or measured by the overall net income of the Lessor (other
than any such tax imposed by means of withholding));
(ii) does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any
reserve, special deposit, insurance assessment, compulsory loan or
similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other
liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other
credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office
of the Lessor which are not otherwise included in determination of the
rate of interest on the Advance; or
(iii) does or shall impose on the Lessor any other condition;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the
Lessor of making or maintaining the Advance or to reduce any amount
receivable hereunder; then in any such case, the Lessee shall promptly
pay to the Lessor, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to
compensate the Lessor for such increased cost or reduced amount
receivable which the Lessor deems to be material as determined by the
Lessor with respect to the Advance.
(b) If the Lessor shall have determined that, after the date hereof,
the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital
adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or
comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or
not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or
comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on capital of the Lessor (or any entity directly or indirectly
controlling the Lessor) as a consequence of the Lessor's obligations under
the Operative Documents to a level below that which the Lessor (or any
entity directly or indirectly controlling the Lessor) could have achieved
but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into
consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount
deemed by the Lessor to be material, then from time to time, within fifteen
(15) days after demand by the Lessor, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lessor for such
reduction.
(c) The Lessor will promptly notify the Lessee of any event of which
it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle the
Lessor to compensation pursuant to this Section and will, if practicable,
with the consent of the Lessee (which consent shall not unreasonably be
withheld), designate a different Funding Office or take any other
reasonable action if such designation or action will avoid the need for, or
reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of
the Lessor, be otherwise disadvantageous to the Lessor. A certificate
signed by an officer of the Lessor claiming compensation under this Section
-44-
<PAGE>
and setting forth in reasonable detail its computation of the additional
amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, the Lessor may use
any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) of this Section
26.10, the Lessee shall only be obligated to compensate the Lessor for any
amount arising or accruing both:
(i) during (A) any time or period commencing (x) in the case of
subsection (a), not earlier than the first day of any Interest Period
in effect on the date which, and (y) in the case of subsection (b),
not earlier than the date on which the Lessor notifies the Lessee that
it proposes to demand such compensation and identifies to the Lessee
the statute, regulation or other basis upon which the claimed
compensation is or will be based and (B) any time or period during
which, because of the retroactive application of such statute,
regulation or other basis, the Lessor did not know that such amount
would arise or accrue; and
(ii) within six months prior to any demand therefor, accompanied
by a certificate of the Lessor claiming compensation and setting forth
in reasonable detail its computation of the additional amount or
amounts to be paid to it hereunder.
ARTICLE XXVII
ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES
XXVII.1. Estoppel Certificates. At any time and from time to time upon
not less than fifteen (15) days' prior request by the Lessor or the Lessee (the
"Requesting Party"), the other party (whichever party shall have received such
request, the "Certifying Party") shall furnish to the Requesting Party (but in
the case of the Lessor, as Certifying Party, not more than four times per year
unless required to satisfy the requirements of any subleases and only to the
extent that the required information has been provided to the Lessor by the
Lessee) a certificate signed by an individual having the office of vice
president or higher in the Certifying Party certifying that this Lease is in
full force and effect (or that this Lease is in full force and effect as
modified and setting forth the modifications); the dates to which the Basic Rent
and Supplemental Rent have been paid; to the best knowledge of the signer of
such certificate, whether or not the Requesting Party is in default under any of
its obligations hereunder (and, if so, the nature of such alleged default); and
such other matters under this Lease as the Requesting Party may reasonably
request. Any such certificate furnished pursuant to this Article XXVII may be
relied upon by the Requesting Party, and any existing or prospective mortgagee,
purchaser or lender, and any accountant or auditor, of, from or to the
Requesting Party (or any Affiliate thereof).
ARTICLE XXVIII
ACCEPTANCE OF SURRENDER
XXVIII.1. Acceptance of Surrender. No surrender to the Lessor of this
Lease or of all or any portion of the Property or of any interest therein shall
be valid or effective unless agreed to and accepted in writing by the Lessor,
and no act by the Lessor or any representative or agent of the Lessor, other
than a written acceptance, shall constitute an acceptance of any such surrender.

ARTICLE XXIX
NO MERGER OF TITLE
XXIX.1. No Merger of Title. There shall be no merger of this Lease or of
the leasehold estate created hereby by reason of the fact that the same Person
may acquire, own or hold, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, (a) this
Lease or the leasehold estate created hereby or any interest in this Lease or
such leasehold estate, (b) the fee or groundleasehold estate in the Property,
except as may expressly be stated in a written instrument duly executed and
delivered by the appropriate Person or (c) a beneficial interest in the Lessor.
ARTICLE XXX
INTENT OF THE PARTIES
XXXI.1. Ownership of the Property.
(a) It is the intent of the parties hereto that for financial
accounting purposes the Lease constitutes an "operating lease" pursuant to
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, as amended, and for
purposes of commercial, real estate, bankruptcy and federal, state and
local income tax law, the transaction contemplated hereby is a financing
arrangement. The parties further intend that Lessee shall be treated as
owner of the Property for income tax purposes and shall be entitled to all
deductions for depreciation thereof. Lessor shall take no action
inconsistent with such treatment.
(b) It is the intent of the parties hereto that the obligations of
the Lessee under this Lease to pay Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent or
Lease Balance in connection with any purchase of the Property pursuant to
this Lease shall be treated as payments of interest on and principal of,
respectively, loans from the Lessor to the Lessee.
(c) Specifically, without limiting the generality of subsection (b)
of this Section 30.1, the Lessor and the Lessee intend and agree that with
respect to the nature of the transactions evidenced by this Lease in the

the right to receive and collect the Yield Maintenance Premium but shall have no
obligation to purchase U.S. Obligations or otherwise comply with this Section
-------
2.11. Upon a complete defeasance of the Loan in accordance with this Section
- ---- -------

together with the pledged U.S. Obligations to such other entity or entities
established or designated by Lender (the "Successor Obligor"). Such Successor

and the Security Agreements and, upon such assignment Borrower and Operator

number by the Collection Account Bank and shall be opened and maintained in
the name "Brookdale Living Communities of New Jersey, Inc. d/b/a The

not have any right of withdrawal from the Collection Account. Operator
shall direct all tenants and subtenants of the Facility to deposit all
lease payments, Rents, Moneys and other items of Gross Revenue (other than
security deposits) directly into the Collection Account and shall cause all
relevant checks to be made payable to the name of the Collection Account.

sentences within one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof.
(iii) The Security Deposit Account shall be assigned an
identification number by the Collection Account Bank and shall be opened
and maintained in the name "Brookdale Living Communities of New Jersey,
Inc. d/b/a The Brendenwood Retirement Center as Mortgagor for Nomura Asset

Operator to, and the Operator shall, deposit all security deposits with
respect to the Facility directly into the Security Deposit Account and
shall cause all relevant checks to be made payable to the name of the
Security Deposit Account. Without in any way limiting the obligations of
Borrower or Operator pursuant to the preceding sentence, Borrower and
Operator shall deposit directly into the Security Deposit Account all
security deposits received by Borrower or Operator in violation or
contradiction of the preceding sentence, within one (1) Business Day after
receipt thereof. Borrower and Operator shall not have any right of
withdrawal from the Security Deposit Account except that, prior to the
occurrence of an Event of Default, Operator may withdraw funds from the
Security Deposit Account in accordance with the Collection Account
Agreement. Operator may designate a new financial institution to serve as
a Collection Account Bank if approved by Lender in Lender's reasonable
discretion. If any Collection Account Bank resigns pursuant to the terms of
any Collection Account Agreement, Operator shall replace such Collection
Account Bank with a bank and documentation acceptable to Lender prior to
the date that such resignation becomes effective pursuant to such
Collection Account Agreement.
(iv) Any breach of this Section by Borrower or Operator shall be
an Event of Default
(b) Payments. Prior to the occurrence of a Cash Management Event,
--------
Borrower shall pay to Lender or Lender's designee or to an account identified by
Lender or Lender's designee on or prior to each Payment Date, the Required Debt
Service Payment for such Payment Date, the Basic Carrying Costs Monthly
Installment for the Interest Accrual Period immediately preceding such Payment
Date and the Capital Reserve Monthly Installment for the Interest Accrual Period
immediately preceding such Payment Date. After the occurrence of a Cash
Management Event, pursuant to the Collection Account Agreement between the
Collection Account Bank, Borrower and Lender (the "Collection Account

Agreement"), Borrower and Operator will authorize and direct the Collection
Account Bank to transfer on a daily basis all
<PAGE>
42
funds deposited in the Collection Account for the Facility to Lender or Lender's
designee to be held in an Eligible Account established by Lender or Lender's
designee (the "Cash Collateral Account"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
-----------------------
event funds in the Collection Account are being transferred to the Cash
Collateral Account as described in the foregoing sentence due to the occurrence
of a Cash Management Event described in clauses (i) through (iv) of the
definition of the term "Cash Management Event", on the date which is twelve (12)
months after the occurrence of such Cash Management Event and provided no Cash
Management Event exists on such date, the funds shall not be transferred to
Lender or Lender's designee for deposit into the Cash Collateral Account but
shall be transferred to an account designated by Borrower until a Cash
Management Event occurs in which event the funds in the Collection Account shall
be transferred to the Cash Collateral Account pursuant to the foregoing
sentence. The Cash Collateral Account shall be under the sole dominion and
control of Lender. Neither Borrower nor Operator shall have any right of
withdrawal in respect to the Cash Collateral Account.
(c) Establishment of Sub-Accounts. The Cash Collateral Account shall
-----------------------------
contain a Debt Service Payment Sub-Account, a Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account,
a Capital Reserve Sub-Account, a Securitization Expense Sub-Account, an
Operating Expense Sub-Account, Trustee Expense Sub-Account and a FBTC Payment
Sub-Account each of which accounts (individually, a "Sub-Account" and
-----------
collectively, the "Sub-Accounts") shall be an Eligible Account to which certain
------------
funds shall be allocated and from which disbursements shall be made pursuant to
the terms of this Loan Agreement.
(d) Permitted Investments. Upon the written request of Operator,
---------------------
which request may be made once per Interest Accrual Period, Lender shall direct
(x) the Cash Collateral Account Bank to invest and reinvest any balance in the
Cash Collateral Account from time to time in Permitted Investments as instructed
by Operator and (y) the Collection Account Bank to invest and reinvest any
balance in the Security Deposit Account from time to time in Permitted
Investments as instructed by Operator; provided, however, that (i) if Operator
-------- -------
fails to so instruct Lender, or if an Event of Default shall have occurred,
Lender may direct the Cash Collateral Account Bank and the Collection Account
Bank, as applicable, to invest and reinvest such balance in Permitted
Investments as Lender shall determine in Lender's sole discretion, (ii) the
maturities of any Permitted Investment on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account
shall, to the extent such dates are ascertainable, be selected and coordinated
to become due not later than the day before any disbursements from the Sub-
Accounts must be made, (iii) all such Permitted Investments shall be held in the
name and be under the sole dominion and control of Lender; (iv) no Permitted
Investment shall be made unless Lender shall retain a perfected first priority
Lien in such Permitted Investment securing the Indebtedness and all filings and
other actions necessary to ensure the validity, perfection, and priority of such
Lien have been taken; (v) Lender shall only be required to follow the investment
instructions which were most recently received by Lender
<PAGE>
43
and Borrower and Operator shall be bound by such last received investment
instructions; and (vi) any written request from Operator containing investment
instructions shall contain an Officer's Certificate from Operator (which may be
conclusively relied upon by Lender and its agents) that any such investments
constitute Permitted Investments. It is the intention of the parties hereto that
all amounts deposited in the Cash Collateral Account and the Security Deposit
Account shall at all times be invested in Permitted Investments. All funds in
the Security Deposit Account and the Cash Collateral Account that are invested
in a Permitted Investment are deemed to be held in such accounts for all
purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Lender shall have no
liability for any loss in investments of funds in the Security Deposit Account
or the Cash Collateral Account that are invested in Permitted Investments
(unless invested contrary to Operator's request other than after the occurrence
of an Event of Default) and no such loss shall affect Borrower's obligation to
fund, or liability for funding, the Cash Collateral Account and each Sub-
Account, as the case may be. Borrower, Operator and Lender agree that Operator
shall include all such earnings and losses (other than those for Lender's
account in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence) on the Cash
Collateral Account as income of Operator for federal and applicable state tax
purposes. Borrower shall be responsible for any and all fees, costs and expenses
with respect to Permitted Investments.
(e) Interest on Accounts. All interest paid or other earnings on
--------------------
the Permitted Investments made hereunder shall be deposited into the Security
Deposit Account or the Cash Collateral Account, as applicable, and shall be
subject to allocation and distribution like any other monies deposited therein.

prior to the due date of any Basic Carrying Cost, and not more frequently
than once each Interest Accrual Period, Operator shall notify Lender in
writing and request that Lender pay such Basic Carrying Cost on behalf of
Borrower and Operator on or prior to the due date thereof. Together with
each such request, Operator shall furnish Lender with copies of bills and
other documentation as may be reasonably required by Lender to establish
that such Basic Carrying Cost is then due. Lender shall make such payments
out of the Basic Carrying Cost Sub-Account before the same shall be
delinquent to the extent that there are funds available in the Basic
Carrying Cost Sub-Account and Lender has received appropriate documentation
to establish the amount(s) due and the due date(s) as and when provided
above.
<PAGE>
44
(ii) Payment of Debt Service. At or before 12:00 noon, New York City
-----------------------
time, on each Payment Date during the term of the Loan, Lender shall
transfer to Lender's own account from the Debt Service Payment Sub-Account
an amount equal to the Required Debt Service Payment for the applicable
Payment Date. Borrower shall be deemed to have timely made the Required
Debt Service Payment pursuant to Section 2.9 regardless of the time Lender
------- ---
makes such transfer as long as sufficient funds are on deposit in the Debt
Service Payment Sub-Account at 12:00 noon, New York City time on the
applicable Payment Date.
(iii) Payment of Capital Improvement Costs. Not more frequently than
------------------------------------

occurred and is continuing, Operator may notify Lender in writing and
request that Lender release to Operator or its designee funds out of the
Capital Reserve Sub-Account to the extent funds are available therein for
payment of Capital Improvement Costs. Together with each such request,
Operator shall furnish Lender with copies of bills and other documentation
as may be reasonably required by Lender to establish that such Capital
Improvement Costs are reasonable, that the work relating thereto has been
completed and that such amounts are then due or have been paid. If Lender
approves of such Capital Improvement Costs, Lender shall release the funds
to Operator or its designee within ten (10) Business Days of Lender's
receipt of Operator's written request. Upon completion of the repairs and
environmental remediation to the Facility itemized on Exhibit C hereto,

paragraph and subject to the terms set forth in this paragraph, Lender
shall release the remainder of the Initial Capital Reserve Amount, to the
extent such funds have not been released to Operator.
(iv) Payment of Securitization Expenses. To the extent funds are
----------------------------------
available therein to pay the amounts for which Operator or Borrower is
responsible pursuant to Section 2.14, Lender may release funds out of the
------------
Securitization Expense Sub-Account to (a) pay such amounts or, (b) after
Lender has paid all of the amounts for which Borrower is responsible
pursuant to Section 2.14, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is
------------
then continuing, to remit to Operator all amounts remaining in the
Securitization Expense Sub-Account.
(v) Payment of Operating Expenses. On and after the Optional
-----------------------------
Prepayment Date, not more frequently than once each Interest Accrual Period
and provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing,

Expense Certificate up to the Operating Expense Monthly Installment.
Together with each such Operating Expense Certificate, Operator shall
furnish Lender with an Officer's Certificate stating that all operating
expenses from the second previous Interest Accrual Period and all Interest
Accrual Periods prior thereto have been paid in full and that such amounts
are then due or have been paid.
(vi) Extra Funds for Operating Expenses. On and after the Optional
----------------------------------
Prepayment Date, not more frequently than once each Interest Accrual Period
and provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing if in
a given Interest Accrual Period, the Operator requires amounts in excess of
the Operating Expense Monthly Installment ("Extra Funds"), Operator, at the

request to Lender for a disbursement of Extra Funds stating the amount of
such Extra Funds and the purpose for which such amount is intended with
attachments of copies of bills and other documentation as may be required
by Lender to establish that such Operating Expenses are reasonable and that
such amounts are then due or expected to become due in that month. If

withheld), Lender shall release the funds to Operator or its designee
within ten (10) Business Days of Lender's receipt of Operator's written
request.

-------------------------------
Period and except as provided below, during the term of the Loan commencing with
the Interest Accrual Period in which the Closing Date occurs (each, the "Current
-------
Interest Accrual Period"), Lender shall allocate all funds then on deposit
- -----------------------
(irrespective of whether such funds were transferred by the Collection Account
Bank to the Cash Collateral Account Bank or by Borrower to the Lender pursuant
to Section 2.9(c)) in the Cash Collateral Account among the Sub-Accounts as

satisfied with respect to the Current Interest Accrual Period and any
periods prior thereto and (B) the funding of additional reserves at levels
determined by Operator to be prudent for working capital, Capital
Improvement Costs and other Borrower or Operator costs, which levels shall
be reasonably satisfactory to Lender, in Lender's reasonable discretion
(the "Excess Cash Flow"), shall be allocated to the Debt Service Sub-
----------------
Account and be applied by Lender on each Payment Date in accordance with
Section 2.8 and shall not be disbursed to Borrower or Operator; and further
-----------
provided, however, that if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing any amounts deposited into or remaining in the
<PAGE>
48
Cash Collateral Account shall be for the account of Lender and may be
withdrawn by Lender to be applied to amounts payable by Borrower and/or
Operator under the Loan Documents in any manner as Lender may elect in
Lender's sole discretion.
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or if on any
Payment Date the balance in any Sub-Account is insufficient to make the required
payment due from such Sub-Account, Lender may, in its sole discretion, in
addition to any other rights and remedies available hereunder, withdraw funds
from any other Sub-Account to pay such deficiency. In the event that Lender
elects to apply funds of any such Sub-Account to pay any Required Base Debt
Service Payment, Borrower shall, upon demand, repay to Lender the amount of such
withdrawn funds to replenish such Sub-Account, and if Borrower shall fail to
repay such amounts within two (2) Business Day after notice of such withdrawal,
an Event of Default shall exist hereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, Borrower shall deposit on the Closing Date (i) the
Initial Basic Carrying Costs Amount into the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account,
(ii) the Initial Capital Reserve Amount into the Capital Reserve Sub-Account and
(iii) the Initial Securitization Expense Amount into the Securitization Expense
Sub-Account.
(h) Condemnation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds. In the event of a
--------------------------------------------
Taking with respect to the Facility, Borrower and Operator shall cause all the
proceeds in respect of any Taking ("Condemnation Proceeds") to be paid to the
---------------------
Lender who shall, except as otherwise provided in the second succeeding sentence
or in Section 2.12(c) of the Mortgage or the Leasehold Mortgage, apply such
Condemnation Proceeds to reduce the Indebtedness in accordance with Section 2.7
-----------
and Section 2.8. In the event of a casualty with respect to the Facility, except
-----------
as otherwise provided in the next sentence or in Section 2.5 of the Mortgage or
the Leasehold Mortgage, Borrower and Operator, as applicable, shall cause all
Proceeds of any insurance policy maintained by either Borrower or Operator, as
applicable ("Insurance Proceeds") to be paid to the Lender who shall apply such
------------------
Insurance Proceeds to reduce the Indebtedness in accordance with Section 2.7 and
------- ---
Section 2.8. All Insurance Proceeds received by Borrower, Operator or Lender in
- ------- ---
respect of business interruption coverage and all Condemnation Proceeds received
in respect of a temporary Taking shall be maintained in the Cash Collateral
Account, to be applied by Lender in the same manner as Rents (other than
security deposits) received from Borrower and/or Operator with respect to the
ownership and/or operation of the Facility; provided, further, that in the event
-------- -------
that the Insurance Proceeds of any such business interruption insurance policy
or Condemnation Proceeds of such temporary Taking are paid in a lump sum in
advance, Lender shall hold such Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds in a
segregated interest-bearing escrow account at the Cash Collateral Account Bank,
and Lender shall estimate the number of months required for Operator to restore
the damage caused by the casualty to the Facility or that the Facility will be
affected by such temporary Taking, as the case may be, shall divide the
aggregate business interruption Insurance Proceeds
<PAGE>
49
or Condemnation Proceeds in connection with such casualty or temporary Taking by
such number of months, and shall disburse from such escrow account into the Cash
Collateral Account each month during the performance of such restoration or
pendency of such temporary Taking such monthly installment of said Insurance
Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds. Any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation
Proceeds made available to Operator for restoration or repair in accordance
herewith and with the Mortgage or Leasehold Mortgage, to the extent not used by
Operator in connection with, or to the extent they exceed the cost of, such
restoration, shall be paid to Operator.
(i) Payment of Basic Carrying Costs. Except to the extent that Lender
-------------------------------
is obligated to pay Basic Carrying Costs from the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-
Account pursuant to the terms of Section 2.12(f), Borrower and Operator shall
------- -------
pay all Basic Carrying Costs with respect to themselves and the Facility in
accordance with the provisions of the Mortgages, subject, however, to Borrower's
and Operator's rights to contest payment of same in accordance with the
Mortgages. The obligation of Borrower and Operator to pay (or cause Lender to
pay) Basic Carrying Costs pursuant to this Agreement shall include, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, Impositions resulting from future changes in
law which impose upon Lender an obligation in connection with the Loan to pay
any property taxes or other Impositions or which otherwise adversely affect
Lender's interests. In the event such a change in law prohibits Borrower from
assuming liability for payment of any such Imposition, the outstanding
Indebtedness shall, at the sole option of Lender, become due and payable on the
date that is 120 days after such change in law without payment of a Yield
Maintenance Premium and failure to pay such amounts on the date due shall be an
Event of Default. Should an Event of Default have occurred and be continuing,
the proceeds on deposit in the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account may be applied
by Lender to amounts Borrower and/or Operator is obligated to pay under the Loan
Documents in any manner as Lender in its sole discretion may determine.

------------------ ------------------
secure the full and punctual payment and performance of all of the Indebtedness,

agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of Borrower and/or

Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the
Account Collateral in its possession if the Account Collateral is accorded
treatment substantially equal to that which Lender accords its own property, it
being understood that Lender shall not be liable or responsible for (i) any loss
or damage to any of the Account Collateral, or for any diminution in value
thereof from a loss of, or delay in Lender's acknowledging receipt of, any wire
transfer from the Collection Account Bank or (ii) any loss, damage or diminution
in value by reason of the act or omission of Lender, or Lender's agents,
employees or bailees other than for gross negligence or willful misconduct of
Lender or its agents, employees or bailees.

respectively, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender as Borrower's
and Operator's true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of

Section 2.14. Securitization. Each of Operator and Borrower hereby
--------------
acknowledges that Lender, its successors or assigns, may sell or securitize the
Loan or portions thereof in one or more transactions through the issuance of
securities, which may be rated by the Rating Agencies (each, a "Securitization";

---------------
respectively, agrees that it shall reasonably cooperate with Lender and use its
best efforts to facilitate the consummation of each Securitization including,
but not limited to, by (a) amending or causing the amendment of this Agreement,

respective Affiliates, the Loan or the Facility do not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order
to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading, provided, however, that Operator shall not be
required to indemnify Lender for any losses relating to untrue statements or

made, not misleading or (ii) as a result of any untrue statement of material
fact in any of the financial statements of Operator or Borrower incorporated
into any placement memorandum, prospectus, registration statement or other
document connected with the issuance of securities or the failure to include in
such financial statements or in any placement memorandum, prospectus,
registration statement or other document connected with the issuance of
securities any material fact relating to Borrower, Operator, their respective
Affiliates, the Facility, the Loan, and any aspect of the subject financing
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances

establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable Lien on and a
security interest in, or claim to, the rights and property described
therein. All property covered by such Collateral Security Instrument which
is subject to the UCC is subject to a UCC financing statement filed and/or

exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage unenforceable against
Borrower, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-

-------------------------
valid and enforceable first mortgage Lien on the Operator's leasehold title
to the Facility as security for the repayment of the Indebtedness, subject
only to the Permitted Encumbrances applicable to the Facility. Each
Collateral Security Instrument executed by Operator establishes and creates
a valid, subsisting and enforceable Lien on and a security interest in, or
claim to, the rights and property described therein. All property covered
by such Collateral Security Instrument which is subject to the UCC is
subject to a UCC financing statement filed and/or recorded, as appropriate,
(or irrevocably delivered to an agent for such recordation or filing) in
all places necessary to perfect a valid first priority Lien with respect to
the rights and property that are the subject of such Collateral Security
Instrument to the extent governed by the UCC.

with the Loan, including, without limitation, any Collateral Security
Instrument executed by Operator, are the legal, valid and binding

their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and other limitations on
creditors' rights generally and to equitable principles. Such Loan
Documents are, as of the Closing Date, not subject to any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by Operator, including the
defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Note,
the Mortgages, or such other Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right
thereunder, render the Leasehold Mortgage unenforceable against Operator,
in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off,
counterclaim or defense by Operator, including the defense of usury, and
Operator has not asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or
defense with respect thereto.
(Z) No Liabilities. Operator has no liabilities or obligations

marks that Operator owns or has pending, or under which it is licensed, are
in good standing and uncontested. There is no trademark, trade name or
service mark necessary to the business of Operator as presently conducted
or as Operator contemplates conducting its business. Operator has not

assignable to and will inure to the benefit of Lender and any successor or
assignee of Lender, including but not limited to the trustee in a
Securitization, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances.
(II) Tax Fair Market Value. The Loan Amount with respect to the
---------------------
Facility does not exceed the Tax Fair Market Value of the Facility. If a
Note with respect to the Facility is significantly modified prior to the

thereof or (y) violation of or compliance with applicable Environmental
Laws, Operator shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute to
completion all such Remedial Work. In all events, such Remedial Work shall
be commenced within the time period ordered or directed by such
Governmental Authority or such shorter period as may be required under any
applicable Environmental Law; provided, however, that Operator shall not be
-------- ------- ----
required to commence such Remedial Work within the above specified time
periods: (x) if prevented from doing so by any Governmental Authority, (y)
if commencing such Remedial Work within such time periods would result in
Operator or such Remedial Work violating any Environmental Law or (z) if
Operator, at its expense and after prior notice to Lender, is contesting by
appropriate legal, administrative or other proceedings, conducted in good
faith and with due diligence, the need to perform Remedial Work, as long as
(1) Operator is permitted by the applicable Environmental Laws to delay
performance of the Remedial Work pending such proceedings, (2) neither the
Facility nor any part thereof or interest therein will be sold, forfeited
or lost if Operator performs the Remedial Work being contested, and
Operator would have the opportunity to do so, in the event of Operator's
failure to prevail in the contest, (3) Lender would not, by virtue of such
permitted contest, be exposed to any risk of any civil liability for which
Operator has not furnished additional security as provided in clause (4)

below, or to any risk of criminal liability, and neither the Facility nor
any interest therein would be subject to the imposition of any Lien for
which Operator has not furnished additional security as provided in clause

delayed. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with such Remedial
Work shall be paid by Operator. If Operator does not timely commence and
diligently prosecute to completion the Remedial Work, Lender may (but shall
not be obligated to), upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to Operator
of its intention to do so, cause such Remedial Work to be performed.
Operator shall pay or reimburse Lender within ten (10) calendar days

expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) relating
to or incurred by Lender in connection with monitoring, reviewing or
performing any Remedial Work in accordance herewith.
(iii) Unless otherwise required by law, Environmental Laws or
any Governmental Authority, Operator shall not commence any Remedial Work
under clause (i) above, nor enter into any settlement agreement, consent
----------
decree or other compromise relating to any Hazardous Substances or
Environmental Laws which is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the presence or threatened
presence or Release of Hazardous Substances at, on, in, under, from or
about the Facility poses an immediate threat to the health, safety or
welfare of any Person or the environment, or is of such a nature that an
immediate response is necessary, Operator may complete all necessary

(ii) Lender shall have the right at all reasonable times after
ten (10) calendar days' prior written notice to Operator and subject to the
rights of tenants therein to enter upon and inspect all or any portion of

90
believe that Remedial Work may be required, Lender may select or may
require Operator to select a consulting environmental Engineer reasonably
satisfactory to Lender to conduct and prepare environmental reports
assessing the environmental condition of the Facility. Lender shall be
given a reasonable opportunity to review any reports, data and other
documents or materials reviewed or prepared by the environmental Engineer.

that could lead to an Environmental Claim;

<PAGE>
91
(ii) any Environmental Claim or proceeding, investigation or
inquiry commenced or threatened in writing by any Person or Governmental
Authority, against Operator, with respect to the presence, suspected

limitation, proceedings under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,

interests hereunder or have a Material Adverse Effect;

------- ---------
(H) Environmental Claims. Lender may join and participate in, as a

party if Lender so determines, any legal or administrative proceeding or

--------- --------- ---------
The indemnity provided in this Loan Agreement shall not be included in
any exculpation of Operator from personal liability provided in this Loan
Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Section

provided to it elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or
otherwise available to it under law. Operator waives and releases Lender
from any rights or defenses Operator may have under common law or
Environmental Laws for liability arising from or resulting from the

Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Operator shall not indemnify Lender
with respect to any Losses incurred in connection with, or as a direct
result of, any or all of the matters described above in clauses (i) through

right to require Operator to retain a manager to manage the Facility, if on
the first Payment Date after Lender has made the determination pursuant to
clause (ii) above, Borrower defeases the Loan in accordance with the terms
of Sections 2.6 and 2.11 in an amount sufficient to cause the Debt Service
------------ ----
Coverage Ratio (calculated as if such amount was actually applied to reduce
the Principal Indebtedness upon which Debt Service was paid and calculated
as if the Principal Indebtedness was reamortized on a straight-line basis
(as if the reduction had occurred) over the remaining number of months
until the Maturity Date) for the Facility, computed on the basis of the
prior twelve (12) calendar months, to be at least equal to 1.20. In the
event that Borrower fails to defease as provided in the previous sentence

(i) be a reputable management company having at least seven years'
experience in the management of commercial properties with similar uses as
the Facility and in the jurisdiction in which the Facility is located, (ii)
shall not be paid management fees in excess of fees which are market fees

rights, powers and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower and
Operator under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage, the Leasehold Mortgage or
any of the other Loan Documents, or at law or in equity may be exercised by
Lender at any time and from time to time (including, without limitation, the
right to accelerate and declare the outstanding principal amount, unpaid
interest, Default Rate
<PAGE>
110
interest, Late Charges, Yield Maintenance Premium and any other amounts owing by
Borrower to be immediately due and payable), without notice or demand, whether
or not all or any portion of the Indebtedness shall be declared due and payable,
and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or
other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the
Loan Documents with respect to the Facility or all or any portion of the
Collateral. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent
and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise,
at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting
the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or
as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything
contained to the contrary herein, the outstanding principal amount, unpaid
interest, Default Rate interest, Late Charges, Yield Maintenance Premium and any
other amounts owing by Borrower shall be accelerated and immediately due and
payable, without any election by Lender upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default described in Section 7.1(x) or Section 7.1 (xi). Notwithstanding that
-------------- ----------------
this Agreement may refer to a continuing Event of Default, and without limiting
Borrower's or Operator's right to cure a Default which may, with the passage of
time, become an Event of Default, neither Borrower nor Operator shall have any
right pursuant to this Agreement to cure any Event of Default unless this
Agreement is amended by Borrower, Operator and Lender in writing.
<PAGE>
111
Section 7.3. Remedies Cumulative. The rights, powers and remedies of

Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other
right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower or Operator
pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents executed by or with
respect to Borrower or Operator, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise.
Lender's rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or
otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender's
sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power
accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power
or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power
may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A
waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not be construed to be a waiver
of any subsequent Default or Event of Default or to impair any remedy, right or
power consequent thereon. Any and all of Lender's rights with respect to the
Collateral shall continue unimpaired, and Borrower and Operator shall be and
remain obligated in accordance with the terms hereof, notwithstanding (i) the
release or substitution of Collateral at any time, or of any rights or interest
therein or (ii) any delay, extension of time, renewal, compromise or other
indulgence granted by Lender in the event of any Default or Event of Default
with respect to the Collateral or otherwise hereunder. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, Lender reserves the right to seek a deficiency
judgment or preserve a deficiency claim, in connection with the foreclosure of
the Mortgage or Leasehold Mortgage on the Facility, to the extent necessary to
foreclose on other parts of the Mortgaged Property.
Section 7.4. Lender's Right to Perform. If Borrower or Operator
-------------------------
fails to perform any covenant or obligation contained herein and such failure
shall continue beyond any applicable grace period and thereafter continue for a
period of five Business Days after Borrower's or Operator's, as applicable,
receipt of written notice thereof, without in any way limiting Section 7.1
-----------
hereof, from Lender, Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, itself
perform, or cause performance of, such covenant or obligation, and the expenses
of Lender incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower and
Operator to Lender within ten (10) calendar days after written demand therefor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation to send notice to
Borrower or Operator of any such failure.
Section 7.5. Operator's Limited Right to Cure. Notwithstanding
--------------------------------
anything in this Agreement or the Loan Documents to the contrary, if a non-
monetary Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to Borrower
which Event of Default was not caused directly or indirectly by Operator and
Lender desires to exercise its rights under this Article VII, provided no Event
of Default exists with respect to Operator, Lender shall give Operator written
notice of such Event of Default and of Lender's intent to exercise its rights
and remedies under this Article VII and Lender shall abstain from exercising its
rights and remedies under this Article VII until the earlier to occur of (a) the
date which is forty-five (45) days after delivery of such written
<PAGE>
112
notice, (b) the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to Operator and
(c) the occurrence of a monetary Event of Default with respect to Borrower.
Lender shall not exercise its rights under this Article VII in connection with
the Event of Default with respect to Borrower identified in the written notice
delivered to Operator if prior to the dates or events described in clauses (a)
through (c) of the foregoing sentence, the following events and conditions shall
have occurred or been satisfied, as applicable, (i) the Operator has acquired
fee simple title to the Facility or acquired the beneficial interest of FBTC in
Borrower, has assumed all of the obligations of the Borrower under the Loan
Documents and has executed and delivered such other documentation as may be
required by Lender and, if the Loan has been transferred in a Securitization,
the Rating Agencies, (ii) if the Loan has been transferred in a Securitization,
the Rating Agencies shall have confirmed in writing that such transfer shall not
result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of any securities issued in
connection with such Securitization, (iii) satisfactory opinions relating to
such transfer shall have been delivered by Operator to Lender and, if the Loan
has been transferred in a Securitization, to the Rating Agencies (including
without limitation tax and bankruptcy opinions), (iv) to the extent curable,
Operator shall have cured such non-monetary Event of Default, (v) Operator pays
all reasonable expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such transfer,
(vi) Operator shall have delivered to Lender an updated Title Insurance Policy
showing fee simple title to the Facility in Operator and insuring that Lender
has a valid first lien on the Operator's fee simple interest in the Facility
together with such modifications, amendments or supplements to the Loan
Documents as Lender may reasonably request. Upon consummation of the transfer of
fee simple title in the Facility to the Operator and the assignment by the
Borrower and assumption by the Operator of the Borrower's obligations under the
Loan Documents executed by the Borrower, Operator shall be considered the
"Borrower" under the Loan Documents as well as the "Operator" under the Loan
Documents and shall have all of the obligations of "Borrower" under the Loan
Documents as well as the obligations of "Operator" under the Loan Documents. If
the events described in clauses (a) through (c) of the first sentence of this
----------- ---
Section occur or the events or conditions described in the second sentence of
- -------
this Section do not occur or are not satisfied prior to the occurrence of the
-------

Liens of the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents or the right of Lender

claimant whatsoever.

<PAGE>

Section 8.28. Limitation of Interest. It is the intention of
----------------------
Borrower, Operator and Lender to conform strictly to applicable usury laws.
Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby would be usurious under
applicable law, then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
any Loan Document, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all
consideration which constitutes interest under applicable law that is taken,
reserved, contracted for, charged or received under any Loan Document or
otherwise in connection with the Loan shall under no circumstances exceed the
maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, and any excess shall be
credited to principal by Lender (or if the Loan shall have been paid in full,
refunded to Borrower); and (ii) in the event that maturity of the Loan is
accelerated by reason of an election by Lender resulting from any default
hereunder or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment,
then such consideration that constitutes interest may never include more than
the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, and any interest in
excess of the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, if any,
provided for in the Loan Documents or otherwise shall be cancelled automatically
as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore prepaid,
shall be credited to principal (or if the principal portion of the Loan and any
other amounts not constituting interest shall have been paid in full, refunded
to Borrower).
In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any
specific contingency exceeds the maximum amount allowed by applicable law,
Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law (a) exclude
voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (b) amortize, prorate,
allocate and spread, in equal parts, the total amount of interest throughout the
entire contemplated term of the Loan so that the interest rate is uniform
throughout the entire term of the Loan; provided, that if the Loan is paid and
performed in full prior to the end of the full contemplated term hereof, and if
the interest received for the actual period of existence thereof exceeds the
maximum amount allowed by applicable law, Lender shall refund to Borrower the
amount of such excess, and in such event, Lender shall not be subject to any
penalties provided by any laws for contracting for, charging or receiving
interest in excess of the maximum amount allowed by applicable law.
Section 8.29. Indemnification. Operator shall indemnify and hold
---------------
each of the Borrower, the Trust Company, Lender and each of its affiliates
(including its officers, directors, partners, employees and agents and each
other person, if any, controlling Lender or any of its affiliates within the
meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or
Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) (each, including
the Borrower, the Trust Company, and the Lender, an "Indemnified Party")
-----------------
harmless against any and all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses (including
the reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel retained by any such
person) or liabilities in connection with, arising out of or as a result
<PAGE>
123
of the transactions and matters referred to or contemplated by this Agreement
(provided that the indemnity provided in Section 2.14 shall apply to the matters
------------
to which it relates), except to the extent that it is finally judicially
determined that any such loss, claim, damage, cost, expense or liability
resulted directly and solely from the gross negligence, fraud or willful
misconduct of such Indemnified Party. In the event that any Indemnified Party
becomes involved in any action, proceeding or investigation in connection with
any transaction or matter referred to or contemplated in this Agreement,
Operator shall periodically reimburse any Indemnified Party upon demand therefor
in an amount equal to its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the
costs of any investigation and preparation) incurred in connection therewith to
the extent such legal or other expenses are the subject of indemnification
hereunder.
Section 8.30. Borrower and Operator Acknowledgments. Each of
-------------------------------------
Operator and Borrower hereby acknowledges to and agrees with Lender that (i) the
scope of Lender's business is wide and includes, but is not limited to,
financing, real estate financing, investment in real estate and other real
estate transactions which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the
business of Borrower or Operator or their respective Affiliates and (ii)
Borrower and Operator each has been represented by competent legal counsel and
has consulted with such counsel prior to executing this Loan Agreement and any
of the other Loan Documents.

Securitization effectuated or to be effectuated by Lender.
Section 8.32. Intentionally deleted.
Section 8.33. Transfer of Fee Simple Interest in the Facility to
--------------------------------------------------
Operator on the Optional Prepayment Date. Notwithstanding anything in the
- ----------------------------------------
Operator Lease or the Loan Documents to the contrary, on the Optional Prepayment
Date, if the Loan is not prepaid in full pursuant to Section 2.7 of this
------- ---
Agreement as a result of the Operator's failure to meet its obligations pursuant
to the Lease or otherwise, (i) Borrower shall transfer its fee simple title in
the Facility to Operator in consideration for Operator's assumption of
Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents executed by Borrower, (ii)
Operator shall accept fee simple title in the Facility and shall assume
Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents executed by the Borrower
pursuant to such documents as Lender shall reasonably request, (iii) Operator
shall deliver to Lender an updated Title Insurance Policy showing fee simple
title to the Facility in Operator and insuring that Lender has a valid first
lien on the Operator's fee simple interest in the Facility together with such
modification, amendments or supplements to the Loan Documents and legal opinions
as Lender may reasonably request and (iv) Operator shall pay all of Lender's
<PAGE>
124
fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with such transfer (including,
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) and all recording costs, fees and taxes
associated with the transfer. Operator shall provide Lender with written notice
sixty (60) days prior to the Optional Prepayment Date indicating whether
Operator anticipates (a) that the Loan be prepaid in full on the Optional
Prepayment Date together with information regarding the sources of the funds for
such prepayment or (b)(i) that Operator will acquire the Borrower's fee simple
interest in the Facility together with the proposed documents effectuating the
transfer of the Facility and the assumption of the Loan and a copy of a
commitment for the Title Policy referenced above in clause (iii) or (ii) that
FBTC will be transferring its beneficial interests in Borrower to Operator
pursuant to the penultimate sentence of this Section 8.33 together with copies
------- ----
the proposed documents effectuating such transfer and the proposed amendment to
the Operator Lease referenced in clause (iv) of the penultimate sentence of this
Section 8.33. Upon consummation of the transfer of fee simple title in the
- ------- ----
Facility to the Operator and the assignment by the Borrower and assumption by
the Operator of the Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents executed by
the Borrower, Operator shall be considered the "Borrower" under the Loan
Documents as well as the "Operator" under the Loan Documents and shall have all
of the obligations of "Borrower" under the Loan Documents as well as the
obligations of "Operator" under the Loan Documents. As an alternative to
transferring fee simple title to the Facility to Operator if the Loan is not
prepaid in full pursuant to Section 2.7 of this Agreement, on the Optional
------- ---
Prepayment Date, (i) Operator shall acquire all of FBTC's beneficial ownership
interests in the Borrower, (ii) the Operator shall deliver such modifications,
amendments or supplements to the Loan Documents and legal opinions as Lender may
reasonably request, (iii) Operator shall deliver the various items sets forth in
clause (v) of the definition of "Permitted Transfers" and (iv) Operator shall
- ------ ---
execute an amendment to the Operator Lease extending the Operator Lease to the
Maturity Date and such other amendments as are consistent with the fact that the
FBTC Debt will be eliminated all as Lender may reasonably request and as will
not result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the ratings assigned
to any of the securities issued in a Securitization as confirmed in writing by
the Rating Agencies. Failure of Borrower or Operator to comply with the terms of
this Section shall constitute an Event of Default.
-------
Section 8.34 Amendments to Operator Lease. Borrower hereby agrees
----------------------------
that it will not amend, modify or terminate the Operator Lease without the prior
written consent of the Lender not to be unreasonably withheld. Lender hereby
agrees that it will not amend, modify or waive without the prior written consent
of Borrower, not to be unreasonably withheld (a) any provision of the Operator
Lease regarding the determination of or obligation to pay FBTC Basic Rent (as
defined in the Operator Lease) or Lessor Basic Rent (as defined in the Operator
Lease) to the extent any waiver, modification or amendment relates to FBTC Basic
Rent or Lessor Basic Rent which is due and payable to Borrower, (b) any
provision of the Operator Lease regarding indemnities in favor of Borrower or
any of its Affiliates, agents, officers, directors or employees
<PAGE>
125
to the extent any waiver, modification or amendment relates to the period prior
to acquisition of title to the Mortgaged Property by Lender or its designee by
foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, (c) until after acquisition of title
to the Mortgaged Property by Lender or its designee by foreclosure or deed-in-
lieu of foreclosure, Sections 19.1(ii), 22.1, 24.1, 24.2 and 25.1 of the
Operator Lease; and (d) Section 20.2(k) of the Operator Lease.
Section 8.35 Subordination and Standstill.
----------------------------
(a) Borrower hereby agrees that all of the indebtedness, liabilities
and obligations of Operator evidenced by the Operator Lease and those Pledge
Agreements (as defined in the Operator Lease) executed by Operator
(collectively, the "Subordinate Obligations") and the lien of any judgment
-----------------------
entered on behalf of Borrower in connection with the Subordinate Obligations,
whether in breach of the terms hereof or otherwise, is and shall be subject,
subordinate and rendered junior to the prior indefeasible payment in full of the
Indebtedness. Except as specifically provided in the following sentence, no
payment shall be made by Operator for or on account of the Subordinate
Obligations, and the Borrower shall not take or receive from Operator in cash or
other property or by setoff or in any other manner, including , without
limitation, from or by way of collateral, payment of all or any of the
Subordinate Obligations, unless and until the Indebtedness shall have been
indefeasibly paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Borrower may
receive payments with respect to the related Subordinate Obligations (i)(x)
prior to a Cash Management Event, from Operator (but only after payment of the
amounts set forth in the first sentence of Section 2.12(b), and (y) after a Cash
------- -------
Management Event, from the FBTC Payment Sub-Account and from Excess Cash Flow
and (ii) from realization on the collateral pledged to Borrower pursuant to
those Pledge Agreements (as defined in the Operator Lease) executed by Operator.
If any payments are made to the Borrower on account of the Subordinate
Obligations contrary to the terms of this Agreement or in excess of what the
Borrower is entitled to receive under this Agreement, Borrower shall hold the
same in trust as trustee for Lender, and shall promptly deliver to Lender in the
form received, endorsed or assigned, as may be appropriate for application on
account of, or as security for the Indebtedness.
(b) Until the Indebtedness is paid in full, Borrower shall not
institute any Enforcement Action (including, but not limited to, filing an
Insolvency Proceeding against Operator or acquiescing to the filing of an
Insolvency Proceeding by the Operator) against the Operator. Without limiting
the foregoing, in the event of an Insolvency Action with respect to the
Operator, (i) the Borrower hereby agrees that it shall not object to or oppose
any efforts by Lender to obtain relief in the Operator's bankruptcy from the

obtain relief in the Operator's bankruptcy from the automatic stay under Section
362 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or to seek to cause the Operator's

foregoing, in the event Operator fails to pay to Borrower any FBTC Required

shall be entitled to bring an Enforcement Action (but not an Insolvency
Proceeding) against Operator solely for the purpose of realizing and foreclosing
on the collateral pledged to Borrower pursuant to the Pledge Agreements (as
defined in the Operator Lease) executed by the Operator, provided, however, that
as a condition to bringing such Enforcement Action (but not an Insolvency
Proceeding), FBTC shall first us its reasonable good faith efforts to exercise
its rights with respect to realizing on the Collateral by non-judicial means.
For the purposes of this Section, the following terms have the indicated
-------
meanings: (i) "Enforcement Action" means the commencement or the exercise of
------------------
any remedies against the Operator, including, without limitation, the
commencement of any litigation and the commencement of any Insolvency
Proceeding; and (ii) "Insolvency Proceeding" means any proceeding under Title

concerning the application of the assets of the Operator for the benefit of its
creditors, the initiation of any proceeding seeking the appointment of a
trustee, receiver or other similar custodian for all of any substantial part of
the assets of the Operator or any other action concerning the adjustment of the
debts of the Operator or the cessation of business by the Operator.
(c) Borrower shall deliver to Lender a copy of any and all notices of
default (or respecting acts or occurrences which could, with the giving of
notice, the passage of time, or both, constitute a default) that are delivered
by Borrower to Lender as required by law or otherwise given, whether in breach
of terms hereof or otherwise, to Operator by Borrower.

pledges, hypothecates, assigns, charges, mortgages, delivers, and transfers to
the Custodian for the benefit of the Pledgee and hereby grants to the Custodian
for the benefit of the Pledgee a continuing security interest in, all of its
right, title and interest in, to and under the following property (the
"Collateral"):
(a) the Collateral Account (as hereinafter defined) and all moneys,
funds, instruments, and securities, including Pledged Property (as
hereinafter defined), now in or from time to time credited to or on deposit
in the Collateral Account;
(b) all interest, profit (whether of cash or securities) and
distributions of any of the foregoing; and
(c) all payments made with respect to and all proceeds (as such term
is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New
York (the "U.C.C.")) of any of the foregoing.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other
Operative Document, Wilmington Trust Company (in its capacity as Custodian under
this Pledge Agreement) for the benefit of the Pledgee shall be the only Person
to have rights in and to the Collateral until the Obligations have been fully
satisfied and discharged in accordance with the provisions of the Operative
Documents or until the Collateral is distributed to the Pledgee in accordance
with Section 2.2 hereof upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in
2
<PAGE>
Securities Pledge Agreement
Section 6.1 or upon the failure by the Pledgee to satisfy the Collateral
Requirement in accordance with Section 2.4.
SECTION II.2 Collateral Account; Release of Collateral; Distribution of
Earnings; Definitions.
(a) The Custodian shall establish a book entry sub-account at the
Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia (the "Collateral Account"). All book-
entry obligations of the United States Government issued in the form of an
entry on the records of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia shall be
(1) identified on the records of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia
for the account of Wilmington Trust Company or its agent and (2) identified
on the records of Custodian as part of the Collateral Account. The
Custodian shall mark its books and records with respect to the Collateral
to indicate the security interests of the Custodian in the Collateral for
the benefit of the Pledgee. The Custodian is irrevocably instructed to
instruct the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia to record on its books
and records that the Pledged Property in the Collateral Account is held
subject to a security interest of the Custodian, for the benefit of the
Pledgee. The Custodian acknowledges receipt of this Pledge Agreement,
certifies that no notice of any other security agreement or claim affecting
the Collateral has been received by it, states that the Collateral will be
held in the Collateral Account for the benefit of the Pledgee and agrees to
hold the Collateral solely for the benefit of the Pledgee and subject to
the control of the Pledgee, as provided in this Pledge Agreement. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default described
in Section 6.1 has occurred or the Pledgor has failed to comply with the
Collateral Requirement in accordance with Section 2.4(b), the Pledgee shall
provide written notice to the Custodian instructing the Custodian to
withdraw and release all Collateral in the Collateral Account to the
Pledgee as instructed by the Pledgee. Until the Obligations are paid in
full, the Pledgor shall have no right to make withdrawals from the
Collateral Account or to otherwise exercise any control with respect to any
securities or other property from time to time on deposit in or credited to
the Collateral Account, or provide substitute Collateral.
(b) The Pledgor shall deliver with any securities transferred
hereunder all appropriate undated bond powers, duly executed in blank and
any and all other forms related to transfer requested by the Custodian,
completed or executed so to make such transfer valid under applicable law
and the rules of any securities exchange or otherwise.
(c) The Pledgor and the Pledgee agree to do or take all actions (or
omit from taking actions) in order to make all transfers contemplated
hereby valid under applicable law and the rules of any securities exchange
or otherwise.

guaranteed by the United States government having a final maturity of one
year from the date of purchase (which shall also be the date of issuance of
the instrument) thereof delivered and duly pledged in accordance with
Section 2.1 and maintained in accordance with Section 2.3, which Pledged
Property shall have a fair market value of not less than 105% of
$495,000.00 on the date deposited with the Custodian. Pledged Property

Collateral Account.
(ii) For the purpose of this Pledge Agreement, the "Collateral
Requirement" shall be an amount equal to 105% of $495,000.00.
(e) In consideration of the terms of the Lease, the Pledgor hereby
assigns and transfers all of its rights, title and interest in any and all
proceeds, interest, or profits paid in respect of the Pledged Property
("Earnings") to the Pledgee. The Pledgor hereby instructs the Custodian to
release all such Earnings to the Pledgee upon each Payment Date on which

subject to any Lien, except for the Liens of the Pledgee created by the
Operative Documents.
SECTION II.4 Valuation; Deficiency or Surplus; Purchase of Pledged
Property.
(a) The Custodian shall determine the fair market value of the
Pledged Property held in the Collateral Account, on a weekly mark-to-market
basis. Each such valuation by the Custodian shall be binding on the Pledgor
and the Pledgee, absent manifest error. In the event that any such
valuation shall indicate that such fair market value of the Pledged
Property shall be less than the Collateral Requirement, the Custodian shall
give written notice of same within two (2) Business Days thereof via (i)
overnight mail or hand delivery and (ii) facsimile transmission, to each of
the Pledgee and the Pledgor of such deficiency.
(b) In the event that the fair market value of the Pledged Property
is less than the Collateral Requirement at anytime prior to the full
satisfaction and discharge of the Obligations in accordance with the terms
of the Operative Documents, the Pledgor shall promptly, but in any event

Pledgor), transfer additional Pledged Property to the Collateral Account in
an amount equal to or exceeding the amount of the deficiency of the
Collateral Requirement, so that the Collateral Requirement is maintained at
all times prior to the full satisfaction and discharge of the Obligations.
The Pledgor's failure to provide such additional Pledged Property shall
result in Pledgee having the immediate right to all Pledged Property in
accordance with Section 2.2. To the extent the fair market value of the
Collateral Account exceeds the Collateral Requirement on the maturity date
of the Pledged Property prior to the full satisfaction and discharge of the
Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Operative Documents by an
amount greater than five (5%) percent of the Collateral Requirement and no
Event of Default described in Section 6.1 or Default relating thereto shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Custodian is directed to release such
excess Collateral ("Excess Collateral") to the Pledgor within three (3)
Business Days of such maturity date.
(c) The Custodian is hereby irrevocably directed by the Pledgor and
the Pledgee to utilize the proceeds of matured Pledged Property, excluding
Excess Collateral, to immediately repurchase Pledged Property of the same
type and duration as those that had matured.
SECTION II.5 Security for Obligations. The security interest granted by
the Pledgor hereunder secures the payment in full of all the Pledgor's
Obligations.

representing or evidencing any Collateral, shall be delivered to and held by or
on behalf of the Custodian pursuant hereto, shall be in suitable form for
transfer by delivery, and shall be accompanied by all necessary instruments of
transfer or assignment, duly executed in blank, all in form and substance
satisfactory to the Custodian.
SECTION II.7 Continuing Security Interest. This Pledge Agreement shall
create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall
(a) become effective only upon the Custodian's receipt of an opinion
letter of counsel, to the effect that (i) this Pledge Agreement is binding
upon and enforceable against the Pledgor and (ii) that upon the delivery of
the Collateral to the Custodian, the security interest created hereunder is
a valid security interest,
(b) remain in full force and effect until (i) (x) the Pledgee
notifies the Custodian in writing that the Pledgor has either (A) paid the
Equity Balance or (B) performed all of its Obligations in full, and (y) the

to Section 6.3 hereof and has fully performed all of its non-payment
obligations hereunder or (ii) the Collateral is withdrawn from the
Collateral Account and released to the Pledgee in accordance with the terms

Securities Pledge Agreement
(c) be binding upon the Pledgor and its successors, transferees and
assigns, and
(d) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Custodian
hereunder, to the benefit of the Pledgee.

rights, if any, to the Collateral shall revert to the Pledgor. Upon Termination,
the Custodian will, at the sole expense of the Pledgor, and upon written
instruction of the Pledgor, deliver to the Pledgor, without any representations,
warranties or recourse of any kind whatsoever, all certificates and instruments
representing or evidencing all Collateral owned by the Pledgor and held by the
Custodian hereunder and execute and deliver to the Pledgor such documents as the
Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence the Termination, whereupon the
Custodian shall be automatically released and discharged from its obligations
hereunder.

the security interests granted to the Custodian hereunder, and all obligations
of the Pledgor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of
(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Pledge Agreement
or any other Operative Document,
(b) the failure of the Pledgee to assert any claim or demand or to
enforce any right or remedy against the Pledgor or any other Person under
the provisions of any Operative Document or otherwise,
(c) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any
other term of, all or any of obligations the Obligations or any other
extension, compromise or renewal of any Obligation,

counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the
invalidity, illegality, nongenuineness, irregularity, compromise,
unenforceability of, or any other event or occurrence affecting, the
Pledgee or otherwise,
(e) any amendment to, rescission, waiver, or other modification of,
or any consent to departure from, any of the terms of the any Operative

defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Pledgor or
Pledgee or any other Person.
SECTION II.9 Waiver of Subrogation. The Pledgor hereby irrevocably waives
any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the
Pledgee or any other Person that arise from the existence, payment, performance
or enforcement of the Pledgor's obligations under this Pledge Agreement or any
other Operative Document, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement,
exoneration, or indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy
against the Pledgee or any other Person or any collateral which the Pledgee now
has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in
equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or
receive from the Pledgee or any other Person, directly or indirectly, in cash or
other property or by set-off or in any manner, payment or security on account of
such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to the Pledgor in
violation of the preceding sentence and the Obligations shall not have been paid
in cash in full, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to the Pledgor
for the benefit of, and held in trust for, the Pledgee, and shall forthwith be
paid to the Pledgee to be credited and applied upon the Obligations, whether
matured or unmatured. The Pledgor acknowledges that it will receive direct and
indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Pledge
Agreement and that the waiver set forth in this Section is knowingly made in
contemplation of such benefits.

(a) The powers conferred on the Custodian hereunder are solely to
protect the interests of the Pledgee in the Collateral, and shall not
impose any duty on it to exercise any such powers. Except for reasonable
care of any Collateral in its possession by the Custodian and the

the Custodian shall not have any duty as to any Collateral or
responsibility for

reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral, if it
takes such action for that purpose as the Pledgor reasonably requests in writing
at times other than upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event
of Default, but failure of the Custodian to comply with any such request at any
time shall not in itself be deemed a failure to have exercised reasonable care
but shall be used as a factor in determining whether the Custodian has exercised
reasonable care. The Custodian agrees to exercise the same degree of care as
exercised by banks generally for similar property in exercising its duties under
this Pledge Agreement.

Lender may elect in its sole discretion.

collect from Guarantor all costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) incurred by Lender in connection with the enforcement of this
Guaranty against Guarantor, as well as interest thereon at the Default Rate set
