PROSPECTUS (Subject To Completion)
Issued June 7, 1995
                                  $210,000,000
                               Kmart Corporation
                           1995-K Pass Through Trusts
                 PASS THROUGH CERTIFICATES, 1995-K3 AND 1995-K4
 
                                  ----------
 
  Each Certificate offered hereby will represent a fractional undivided
interest in one of two Kmart Corporation 1995-K Pass Through Trusts (the "Pass
Through Trusts") to be formed pursuant to two separate pass through trust
agreements between Kmart Corporation ("Kmart") and Shawmut Bank Connecticut,
National Association (the "Trustee"), as trustee of each Pass Through Trust.
The property of each Pass Through Trust will consist of mortgage notes (the
"Mortgage Notes") issued on a non-recourse basis by certain owner trustees (the
"Owner Trustees") of four separate owner trusts in connection with 18 separate
leveraged lease transactions to finance not more than 90% of the cost to each
Owner Trustee of its interest in certain land and improvements described herein
(each such interest being a "Property" and collectively, the "Properties")
which will be leased to Kmart.
 
  The Mortgage Notes in respect of each Property will be issued in two series.
Each Pass Through Trust will purchase one series of the Mortgage Notes issued
with respect to each Property such that all of the Mortgage Notes held in each
Pass Through Trust will have an interest rate corresponding to the interest
rate applicable to the Certificates issued by such Pass Through Trust. The
maturity dates of the Mortgage Notes acquired by each Pass Through Trust will
occur on or before the final distribution date applicable to the Certificates
issued by such Pass Through Trust. The Mortgage Notes with respect to each
Property will be secured by a mortgage of the related Owner Trustee's interest
in such Property and by an assignment of certain of such Owner Trustee's rights
under the lease related thereto, including the right to receive rent and
certain other amounts payable by Kmart thereunder. Although neither the
Certificates nor the Mortgage Notes are direct obligations of, or guaranteed
by, Kmart, the amounts unconditionally payable by Kmart under each lease will
be sufficient to pay in full when due all payments required to be made on the
related Mortgage Notes held in the Pass Through Trusts.
 
  Interest paid on the Mortgage Notes held in each Pass Through Trust will be
passed through to the Certificateholders of such Pass Through Trust on January
2 and July 2 of each year, commencing January 2, 1996, at the rate per annum
set forth below applicable to such Pass Through Trust until the final
distribution date for such Pass Through Trust set forth below. Principal
payments on the Mortgage Notes held in Pass Through Trusts 1995-K3 and 1995-K4
will be passed through to the Certificateholders of each such Pass Through
Trust in scheduled amounts on January 2 or July 2, or both, of each year,
commencing on the initial scheduled principal distribution date, and continuing
until the final distribution date, for such Pass Through Trust set forth below.
For circumstances under which distributions to the Certificateholders may be
made prior to the applicable final distribution date, see "Description of the
Certificates--Payments and Distributions".
 
                                  ----------
 
 THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED  OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND
  EXCHANGE  COMMISSION  OR  ANY  STATE  SECURITIES  COMMISSION  NOR  HAS  THE
   SECURITIES  AND EXCHANGE  COMMISSION OR  ANY STATE  SECURITIES COMMISSION
    PASSED  UPON   THE  ACCURACY  OR  ADEQUACY  OF  THIS   PROSPECTUS.  ANY
     REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

                            Although the Mortgage Notes are not direct
                             obligations of, or guaranteed by, Kmart, the
                             amounts unconditionally payable by Kmart under
                             each Lease will be sufficient to pay in full when
                             due all payments required to be made on the
                             related Mortgage Notes. See "Description of the
                             Mortgage Notes--Redemption" and "--Security". None
                             of the Trustee, the Certificateholders or the
                             Indenture Trustee will have recourse in respect of
                             the Mortgage Notes against any Owner Trustee or
                             Owner Participant. See "Description of the
                             Mortgage Notes--General".
 
Use of Proceeds...........  The proceeds from the sale of the Certificates will
                             be used to purchase the Mortgage Notes issued by
                             the related Owner Trustee in connection with the
                             financing of not more than 90% of the cost to such
                             Owner Trustee of acquiring each related Property.
 
                            The net proceeds to be received by Kmart from the
                             Sale-Leaseback Transactions will be used (i) for
                             general corporate purposes and (ii) in the case of
                             a Property to be conveyed by a developer to the
                             related Owner Trustee, primarily to repay loans
                             made to such developer, which funded the
                             construction and/or acquisition of such Property.
 
                            See "Structure of the Transaction" and "Use of
                            Proceeds".
 
Trustees..................  Shawmut Bank Connecticut, National Association,
                             will act as Trustee for the Certificates
                             evidencing interests in the Pass Through Trusts.
                             Shawmut Bank Connecticut, National Association,
                             will also act as Indenture Trustee under each
                             Indenture.
 
Federal Income Tax
 Consequences.............  In the opinion of counsel to Kmart, each Pass       
                             Through Trust will be classified as a grantor      
                             trust for federal income tax purposes, and each    
                             holder of an interest in the Certificates will be  
                             treated as the owner of a pro rata undivided       
                             interest in each of the Mortgage Notes and any     
                             other property held in the Pass Through Trust in   
                             which the Certificates held by such holder         
                             evidence an interest and will be required to       
                             report on its federal income tax return its pro    
                             rata share of income from such Mortgage Notes and  
                             other property in accordance with such holder's    
                             method of accounting. See "Certain Federal Income  
                             Tax Consequences".
                            
 
ERISA Considerations......  The Certificates, with certain exceptions, are
                             eligible for purchase by employee benefit plans. A
                             fiduciary considering purchasing Certificates for
                             or on behalf of an employee benefit plan should
                             consider the issues discussed in "ERISA
                             Considerations".

                                  THE COMPANY
 
  Kmart Corporation ("Kmart" or the "Company") is one of the world's largest
mass merchandise retailers. The dominant portion of Kmart's business consists
of U.S. Kmart stores. As of April 26, 1995, Kmart operated 2,240 Kmart discount
stores with locations in each of the 50 United States, Puerto Rico, the U.S.
Virgin Islands and Guam and Kmart international operations consisted primarily
of 128 Kmart stores in Canada and 13 department stores located in the Czech
Republic and Slovakia. As part of its international expansion strategy, Kmart
has entered into joint ventures in Mexico and Singapore, which, as of April 26,
1995, had opened six stores, four in Mexico and two in Singapore. Kmart also
holds significant equity interests in OfficeMax, Inc. ("OfficeMax") and The
Sports Authority, Inc. ("The Sports Authority") and in substantially all of the
Meldisco subsidiaries of Melville Corporation, which operates the footwear
departments in domestic Kmart stores.
 
  As of April 26, 1995, Kmart specialty retail operations consisted of the
Borders Group and Builders Square subsidiaries. Borders Group is the second
largest U.S. operator of book superstores under the Borders name and the
largest U.S. operator of mall-based bookstores under the Waldenbooks name. As
of April 26, 1995, Borders Group operated 1,144 bookstores in 50 states and the
District of Columbia. See "--Recent Developments" for a discussion of the
recent Borders Group Initial Public Offering ("IPO"). Builders Square operated
172 home improvement stores at April 26, 1995. The business strategy of
Builders Square is to phase out its self-service warehouse-style home
improvement stores and operate large format superstores that emphasize customer
service and provide an extensive selection of quality products and services to
repair, remodel, redecorate and maintain both home and garden.
 
  Kmart also holds a significant equity interest in Thrifty PayLess Holding
Inc. ("TPH"), an entity which resulted primarily from the combination of
Kmart's former subsidiary, PayLess Drug Stores Northwest, Inc. ("PayLess"),
with Thrifty Drug Stores after PayLess was sold to TPH in the first quarter of
1994. In the fiscal 1993 consolidated financial statements, the operations of
PayLess were presented as part of discontinued operations. However, as Kmart's
investment in TPH will extend beyond the period initially planned, the
operations of PayLess have been reclassified as part of continuing operations
in fiscal 1993 and fiscal 1992. Management will continue to actively seek a
buyer for this investment during the remainder of fiscal 1995 and expects that
such disposition will occur either through a private offering or other
alternative means.
 
  Kmart was incorporated under the laws of the State of Michigan on March 9,
1916. The principal executive offices of Kmart are located at 3100 West Big
Beaver Road, Troy, Michigan 48084, and its telephone number is (810) 643-1000.
 
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
 
  In May 1995, Kmart commenced the IPO of Borders Group, Inc. The Company sold
87% of Borders Group, Inc., resulting in net proceeds of $493 million which were
received by the Company in June 1995. The funds from this transaction will be
used to pay down debt and further the Company's modernization program. Shares
representing the remaining 13% interest are subject to a 30-day option to
purchase by the underwriters at the net IPO price to cover over-allotments.
Shares with respect to which the underwriters do not exercise their over-
allotment option, if any, become available for sale by the Company commencing
November 20, 1995. It is the Company's intention to divest all of its interest
in Borders Group, Inc. within one year. The Company expects to realize a one-
time loss of approximately $185 million on the transaction and will report its
investment in Borders Group, Inc. as a discontinued operation in the future.
 
  On June 5, 1995, the Company announced that Floyd Hall, a retailing executive
with extensive experience in the discount store and supermarket businesses, has
been named chairman, president and chief executive officer, effective
immediately. With Hall's arrival at Kmart, Donald S. Perkins has relinquished
his role as chairman but remains a member of the Company's Board of Directors
and chairman of the Board's executive/finance committee. Anthony N. Palizzi,
executive vice president and general counsel, and Ronald J. Floto, executive
vice president and president, Super Kmart Centers, who served as interim
president and chairman of the Company's management executive committee,
respectively, have resumed their previous responsibilities.

                        SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
  The following is a summary of certain selected consolidated financial
information of the Company. Operating results and affected ratios have been
restated to exclude discontinued operations of PACE Membership Warehouse, Inc.
and Coles Myer, Ltd. All fiscal years prior to 1994 reflect the operations of
PayLess Drug Stores Northwest, Inc., OfficeMax, Inc. and The Sports Authority,
Inc. as part of continuing operations. This summary should be read in
conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included or incorporated by reference in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 25, 1995 incorporated herein by
reference. See "Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference". The
information presented below for, and as of the end of, each of the fiscal
years in the five-year period ended January 25, 1995 (except for the ratio of
earnings from continuing retail operations to fixed charges) is derived from
the consolidated financial statements of the Company, which financial
statements have been audited by Price Waterhouse LLP, independent accountants.
In the opinion of the Company, the unaudited financial information presented
for the 13 weeks ended April 26, 1995 and April 27, 1994 contains all
adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim
periods. All adjustments were of a normal and recurring nature. Data for the
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full
fiscal year.

- --------
(1) Results of operations for 1993 include a pre-tax provision of $1,348
    million ($862 million net of tax) for store restructuring and other
    charges.
(2) Fixed charges represent total interest charges, a portion of operating
    rentals representative of the interest factor and amortization of debt
    discount and expense. The deficiency of income from continuing retail
    operations versus fixed charges was $549 million for the fiscal year ended
    January 26, 1994.
(3) Due to the seasonality of the Company's business, the ratio of earnings
    from continuing retail operations to fixed charges is computed on a
    trailing 52-week basis. The deficiency of income from continuing retail
    operations versus fixed charges was $646 million for the 52 weeks ended
    April 27, 1994. The ratio computed as described in (2) above for the 52
    weeks ended April 26, 1995 was 1.3.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
  The Certificates are being issued in order to facilitate the financing by
each Owner Trustee of its purchase of one or more of the Properties. Proceeds
from the sale of the Certificates will be used by the Trustee to purchase the
Mortgage Notes issued by the related Owner Trustee in connection with the
financing of not more than 90% of the cost to such Owner Trustee of acquiring
each of its respective Properties. See "Structure of the Transaction".
 
  Net proceeds of $       million to be received by Kmart from the Sale-
Leaseback Transactions will be used for general corporate purposes. In the case
of Properties to be conveyed by developers to the related Owner Trustee, net
proceeds of $       million will be used primarily to repay loans made to such
developers which funded the construction and/or acquisition of such Properties.
 
                          STRUCTURE OF THE TRANSACTION
 
  The proceeds from the sale of the Certificates offered hereby will be used by
the Trustee on behalf of the applicable Pass Through Trust to purchase Mortgage
Notes issued by Wilmington Trust Company, acting not in its individual capacity
but solely as owner trustee (an "Owner Trustee") under four separate Owner
Trust Agreements for the benefit of the applicable institutional investor (the
"Owner Participant") to finance not more than 90% of the cost to such Owner
Trustee of acquiring (i) fee title to the buildings and improvements (the
"Improvements") comprising, and (ii) a 30-year estate for years interest in the
land (the "Estate for Years") underlying, 18 Kmart store locations.
Simultaneously with the conveyance of the Improvements and the Estate for Years
with respect to each Property to the applicable Owner Trustee, the related
remainder interest subject to the Estate for Years shall be conveyed to First
Security Bank of Utah, N.A., acting not in its individual capacity but solely
as trustee (the "Remainderman Trustee") of four separate trusts formed for the
benefit of an institutional investor (the "Remainderman Participant"). The
Remainderman Trustee will, in turn, convey to the related Owner Trustee an
option (the "Option") to purchase or ground lease the related Land upon the
expiration of the Estate for Years. The Improvements and Estate for Years with
respect to each Kmart store location are referred to herein collectively as a
"Property". Eleven Properties will be acquired by the applicable Owner Trustee
directly from Kmart and seven Properties will be acquired from independent
developers with whom Kmart has entered into contracts obligating such
developers to convey the applicable Properties. Each of the four Owner Trustees
will acquire one or more Properties (each, a "Property Group"). Any portion of
the proceeds from the sale of Certificates not used by the Trustee to purchase
Mortgage Notes on or prior to July  , 1995 will be distributed on September 2,
1995 to the applicable Certificateholders, together with interest, but without
premium. See "Description of the Certificates--Special Distribution Upon
Unavailability of Trust Property".
 
  The Mortgage Notes with respect to each Property will be issued under a
separate trust indenture between Shawmut Bank Connecticut, National
Association, as trustee thereunder (in such capacity, herein referred to as the
"Indenture Trustee"), and the related Owner Trustee (each, a "Base Indenture"),
as supplemented by a mortgage, deed of trust, assignment of leases and rents,
security agreement, financing statement and supplemental indenture between the
Indenture Trustee and such Owner Trustee (each, a "Supplemental Indenture", and
each Base Indenture, as supplemented by the related Supplemental Indenture, an
"Indenture"). With respect to each Property, the applicable Owner Participant
will provide from sources other than the Mortgage Notes not less than 10% of
the cost to the related Owner Trustee of acquiring such Property. No Owner
Participant, however, will be personally liable for any amount payable under
the related Indenture or the Mortgage Notes issued thereunder. Simultaneously
with the acquisition of each Property, the related Owner Trustee will lease
such Property to Kmart pursuant to a separate lease agreement (each, a
"Lease").

  Kmart will lease each Property from the corresponding Owner Trustee under a
separate Lease. Two Mortgage Notes will initially be issued under each
Indenture by the corresponding Owner Trustee. Rent will be payable under each
Lease to the corresponding Owner Trustee. However, as a result of the
assignment of certain of such Owner Trustee's rights under such Lease to the
Indenture Trustee, Kmart will make rental payments thereunder directly to the
Indenture Trustee. From such rental payments, the Indenture Trustee will, on
behalf of each Owner Trustee, make payments on the Mortgage Notes held in each
Pass Through Trust to the related Trustee and will remit the balance to each
respective Owner Trustee for distribution to the corresponding Owner
Participant. Each Trustee will distribute payments received on the Mortgage
Notes held in the related Pass Through Trust to the related Certificateholders.

                        DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES
 
  The Certificates offered hereby will be issued pursuant to two separate
Agreements to be entered into between Kmart and the Trustee. Each Agreement
will contain substantially the same terms, except that the interest rates,
scheduled payments of principal and maturity dates applicable to the Mortgage
Notes held in each Pass Through Trust, the aggregate principal amount of
Mortgage Notes held in each Pass Through Trust and the final distribution date
applicable to each Pass Through Trust will differ. The statements under this
caption are a summary of the terms of the Certificates and the Agreements and
do not purport to be complete. The summary makes use of terms defined in and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to all of the provisions of the
Agreements and the Certificates, the forms of which have been filed as exhibits
to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part. Except as
otherwise indicated, the following summary relates to each of the Agreements,
the Pass Through Trusts formed thereby and the Certificates issued by each Pass
Through Trust. Citations to the relevant sections of the Agreements appear
below in parentheses. References to the Trustee or the Agreement, with respect
to any Certificates, mean, respectively, the Trustee under the related
Agreement or the Agreement under which such Certificates are issued.
 
GENERAL
 
  The Certificates will be issued in fully registered form only. Each
Certificate will represent a fractional undivided interest in the Pass Through
Trust created by the Agreement pursuant to which such Certificate was issued.
The property of each Pass Through Trust will include the Mortgage Notes held in
such Pass Through Trust, all monies at any time paid thereon and all monies due
and to become due thereunder and funds from time to time deposited with the
Trustee in the accounts established pursuant to the related Agreement. Each
Certificate will correspond to a pro rata share of the outstanding principal
amount of the Mortgage Notes held in the related Pass Through Trust and will be
issued in integral multiples of $1,000. (Agreements, Sections 2.01 and 3.01)
The Certificates will be registered in the name of Cede & Co. ("Cede") as the
nominee of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"). No person acquiring an
interest in the Certificates (a "Certificate Owner") will be entitled to
receive a certificate representing such person's interest in the Certificates,
except as set forth below under "--Definitive Certificates". Unless and until
Definitive Certificates are issued under the limited circumstances described
herein, all references to actions by Certificateholders shall refer to actions
taken by DTC upon instructions from DTC Participants (as defined below), and
all references herein to distributions, notices, reports and statements to
Certificateholders shall refer, as the case may be, to distributions, notices,
reports and statements to DTC or Cede, as the registered holder of the
Certificates, or to DTC Participants for distribution to Certificate Owners in
accordance with DTC procedures. (Agreements, Section 3.09) See "--Book-Entry
Registration".
 
  Interest paid on the Mortgage Notes held in a Pass Through Trust will be
passed through to holders of Certificates evidencing interests in such Pass
Through Trust at the applicable rate per annum set forth on the cover page of
this Prospectus, which will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of
twelve 30-day months.
 
  Each Certificate will represent a fractional undivided interest in the
related Pass Through Trust and will not have any rights, benefits or interest
in respect of the other Pass Through Trust or in the property held by the other
such Pass Through Trust. All payments and distributions on the Certificates
will be made only from the property of the Pass Through Trust in which such
Certificates evidence an interest. (Agreements, Section 3.08) The Certificates
do not represent an interest in or obligation of Kmart, the Trustee, any Owner
Trustee in its individual capacity, any Owner Participant, or any of their
respective affiliates. Each Certificateholder by its acceptance of a
Certificate agrees to look solely to the income and proceeds from the Trust
Property to the extent available for distribution as provided in the
Agreements.
 
  None of the Agreements, the Indentures or the Leases includes financial
covenants or "event risk" provisions that would afford Certificateholders
protection in the event of a highly leveraged or other transaction involving
Kmart. The Certificateholders will have the benefit of a lien on the Property
and the
 
                                       14

other property in each Indenture Estate securing the Mortgage Notes held in the
related Pass Through Trust, as discussed under "Description of the Mortgage
Notes--Security".
 
BOOK-ENTRY REGISTRATION
 
  DTC is a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State
of New York, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation"
within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a "clearing
agency" pursuant to Section 17A of the Exchange Act. DTC holds securities for
its participants ("DTC Participants") and facilitates the clearance and
settlement of securities transactions between DTC Participants through
electronic book-entries, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of
certificates. DTC Participants include securities brokers and dealers
(including Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and Goldman, Sachs & Co.), banks
(including the Trustee in its individual capacity), trust companies and
clearing corporations. Indirect access to the DTC system also is available to
others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through
or maintain a custodial relationship with a DTC Participant, either directly or
indirectly ("Indirect Participants").
 
  Certificate Owners that are not DTC Participants or Indirect Participants but
desire to purchase, sell or otherwise transfer ownership of, or other interests
in, Certificates may do so only through DTC Participants and Indirect
Participants. In addition, Certificate Owners will receive all distributions of
principal and interest from the Trustee through DTC Participants or Indirect
Participants, as the case may be. Under a book-entry format, Certificate Owners
may experience some delay in their receipt of payments, since such payments
will be forwarded by the Trustee to Cede, as nominee for DTC. DTC will forward
such payments to DTC Participants, which thereafter will forward them to
Indirect Participants or Certificate Owners, as the case may be, in accordance
with customary industry practices. The forwarding of such distributions to the
Certificate Owners will be the responsibility of such DTC Participants. The
only "Certificateholder" of a Pass Through Trust will be Cede, as nominee of
DTC. Certificate Owners will not be recognized by the Trustee as
Certificateholders, as such term is used in the Agreements, and Certificate
Owners will be permitted to exercise the rights of Certificateholders only
indirectly through DTC and DTC Participants.
 
  Under the rules, regulations and procedures creating and affecting DTC and
its operations (the "Rules"), DTC is required to make book-entry transfers of
Certificates among DTC Participants on whose behalf it acts with respect to the
Certificates and to receive and transmit distributions of principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Certificates. DTC Participants and
Indirect Participants with which Certificate Owners have accounts with respect
to the Certificates similarly are required to make book-entry transfers and
receive and transmit such payments on behalf of their respective Certificate
Owners. Accordingly, although Certificate Owners will not possess Certificates,
the Rules provide a mechanism by which Certificate Owners will receive payments
and will be able to transfer their interests.
 
  Because DTC can only act on behalf of DTC Participants, who in turn act on
behalf of Indirect Participants, the ability of a Certificate Owner to pledge
Certificates to persons or entities that do not participate in the DTC system
or to otherwise act with respect to such Certificates may be limited due to the
lack of a physical certificate for such Certificates.
 
  DTC will take any action permitted to be taken by a Certificateholder under
the Agreements only at the direction of one or more DTC Participants to whose
accounts with DTC the Certificates are credited. Additionally, DTC will take
such actions with respect to any percentage of Certificateholders of each Pass
Through Trust only at the direction of and on behalf of DTC Participants whose
holdings include undivided interests that satisfy any such percentage. DTC may
take conflicting actions with respect to other undivided interests to the
extent that such actions are taken on behalf of DTC Participants whose holdings
include such undivided interests.
 
  Neither Kmart nor the Trustee will have any liability for any aspect of the
records relating to payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests
in the Certificates held by Cede, as nominee for DTC, or for maintaining,
supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership
interests.
 
                                       15
<PAGE>
 
  The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry system
has been obtained from sources that Kmart believes to be reliable, but Kmart
has not independently verified such information.
 
DEFINITIVE CERTIFICATES
 
  The Certificates will be issued in fully registered certificated form
("Definitive Certificates") to Certificate Owners or their nominees, rather
than to DTC or its nominee, only if (i) Kmart advises the Trustee in writing
that DTC is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its
responsibilities as depository with respect to the Certificates and the Trustee
or Kmart is unable to appoint a qualified successor, (ii) Kmart, at its option,
elects to terminate the book-entry system through DTC or (iii) after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, Certificate Owners of Certificates
evidencing fractional undivided interests aggregating not less than a majority
in interest in a Pass Through Trust advise the Trustee and DTC through DTC
Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through
DTC (or a successor thereto) is no longer in the Certificate Owners' best
interest. (Agreements, Section 3.09)
 
  Upon the occurrence of any event described in the immediately preceding
paragraph, the Trustee will be required to notify all Certificate Owners
through DTC Participants of the availability of Definitive Certificates. Upon
surrender by DTC of the global certificates representing the Certificates and
receipt of instructions for re-registration, the Trustee will reissue the
Certificates as Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners. (Agreements,
Section 3.09)
 
  Distributions of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
Certificates will thereafter be made by the Trustee directly in accordance with
the procedures set forth in the Agreements to each Certificateholder of record
on the Record Date. Such distributions will be made by check mailed to the
address of such holder as it appears on the register maintained by the Trustee.
The final payment on any Certificate, however, will be made only upon
presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office or agency
specified in the notice of final distribution to Certificateholders.
(Agreements, Sections 4.02 and 11.01)
 
  Definitive Certificates will be freely transferable and exchangeable at the
office of the Trustee upon compliance with the requirements set forth in the
related Agreement. No service charge will be imposed for any registration of
transfer or exchange, but payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge shall be required. (Agreements, Section 3.04)
 
SAME-DAY SETTLEMENT AND PAYMENT
 
  So long as the Certificates are registered in the name of Cede, as nominee of
DTC, all payments made by Kmart to the Indenture Trustee under the Leases will
be in immediately available funds and, to the extent such payments are
allocable to the Mortgage Notes, will be passed through to DTC in immediately
available funds.
 
  Secondary trading in long-term notes and debentures of corporate issuers is
generally settled in clearinghouse or next-day funds. In contrast, the
Certificates will trade in DTC's Same-Day Funds Settlement System until
maturity, and secondary market trading activity in the Certificates will
therefore be required by DTC to settle in immediately available funds. No
assurance can be given as to the effect, if any, of settlement in same-day
funds on trading activity in the Certificates.
 
PAYMENTS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
 
  All Scheduled Payments (as defined below) of principal and interest on the
Mortgage Notes held in each Pass Through Trust received by the Trustee will be
distributed by the Trustee to holders of Certificates evidencing interests in
such Pass Through Trust on the date such receipt of payment is confirmed,
except in certain cases when some or all of such Mortgage Notes are in default.
See "--Events of Default and Certain Rights Upon an Event of Default". Payments
of interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Mortgage Notes held in each
Pass Through Trust are scheduled to be received by the Trustee on January 2 and
July 2
 
                                       16
<PAGE>
 
of each year, commencing January 2, 1996, at the applicable rate per annum for
such Pass Through Trust, until the final distribution date for such Pass
Through Trust. Payments of principal on the Mortgage Notes held in each Pass
Through Trust are scheduled to be received in specified amounts by the Trustee
commencing on the date specified on the front cover page of this Prospectus for
such Pass Through Trust (each such date, an "Initial Scheduled Principal
Distribution Date"), until the final distribution date for such Pass Through
Trust (such scheduled payments of interest and principal on the Mortgage Notes
held by a Pass Through Trust are herein referred to as "Scheduled Payments",
and January 2 and July 2 of each year, commencing January 2, 1996, are herein
referred to as "Regular Distribution Dates"). The Trustee of each Pass Through
Trust will distribute on each Regular Distribution Date to the holders of
Certificates evidencing interests in a Pass Through Trust all Scheduled
Payments the receipt of which is confirmed by the Trustee on such Regular
Distribution Date. Each such distribution of Scheduled Payments will be made by
the Trustee to the holders of record of the Certificates evidencing interests
in the Pass Through Trust holding the Mortgage Notes to which such Scheduled
Payments relate on the fifteenth day preceding the applicable Regular
Distribution Date, subject to certain exceptions. (Agreements, Sections 4.01
and 4.02) If a Scheduled Payment is not received by the Trustee on a Regular
Distribution Date but is received within five days thereafter, it will be
distributed on the date received to such holders of record. If it is received
after such five-day period, it will be treated as a Special Payment (as defined
below) and distributed as described below.
 
  Each Certificateholder will be entitled to receive a pro rata share of any
distribution in respect of Scheduled Payments of principal and interest made on
the Mortgage Notes held in the Pass Through Trust in which the Certificate held
by such holder evidences an interest. The Regular Distribution Dates on which,
and the amounts in which, Scheduled Payments of principal on the Mortgage Notes
held in each Pass Through Trust are payable are set forth below under
"Description of the Mortgage Notes--Principal and Interest Payments".
 
  Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest received by the Trustee
on account of a redemption, if any, of the Mortgage Notes held in a Pass
Through Trust, payments received by the Trustee following a default in respect
of the Mortgage Notes held in a Pass Through Trust (including payments received
by the Trust on account of the purchase by the Owner Trustee of such Mortgage
Notes or payments received on account of the sale of such Mortgage Notes by the
Trustee) and any Scheduled Payments not paid within five days of a Regular
Distribution Date ("Special Payments"), will be distributed on the second day
of a month (each, a "Special Distribution Date"). The Trustee will mail notice
to the holders of record of the Certificates evidencing interests in the
related Pass Through Trust not less than 20 days prior to the Special
Distribution Date on which any Special Payment is scheduled to be distributed
by the Trustee in the event the Mortgage Notes are to be redeemed prior to
their maturity and, in all other instances, as soon as practicable after the
Trustee has received the Special Payment. The notice will specify the
anticipated Special Distribution Date, the amount of such anticipated Special
Payment, the reason for the Special Payment and the total amount to be
distributed if such Special Distribution Date is the same date as a Regular
Distribution Date. Each distribution of a Special Payment, other than a final
distribution, on a Special Distribution Date for a Pass Through Trust will be
made by the Trustee to the holders of record of the Certificates evidencing
interests in such Pass Through Trust on the fifteenth day preceding such
Special Distribution Date. (Agreements, Section 4.02) See "Description of the
Mortgage Notes--Redemption" and "--Events of Default and Certain Rights Upon an
Event of Default".
 
  After redemption or default in respect of some or all of the Mortgage Notes
or other Special Payment, a Certificateholder should refer to the information
with respect to the applicable Pool Balance and the Pool Factor reported
periodically by the Trustee to determine the remaining amortization of the
Mortgage Notes. See "--Pool Factors" and "--Reports to Certificateholders".
 
  Each Agreement requires that the Trustee establish and maintain, for the
benefit of the holders of Certificates evidencing interests in the Pass Through
Trust created by such Agreement, one or more non-interest bearing accounts
(with respect to each such Pass Through Trust, the "Certificate Account") for
the deposit of payments representing Scheduled Payments on the Mortgage Notes
held in such Trust.
 
                                       17
<PAGE>
 
(Agreements, Section 4.01) Each Agreement also requires that the Trustee
establish and maintain, for the benefit of the holders of Certificates
evidencing interests in the Pass Through Trust created by such Agreement, one
or more non-interest bearing accounts (with respect to each such Pass Through
Trust, the "Special Payments Account") for the deposit of payments representing
Special Payments. Pursuant to the terms of each Agreement, the Trustee is
required to deposit any Scheduled Payments on the Mortgage Notes held in the
applicable Pass Through Trust received by it in the Certificate Account for
such Pass Through Trust and to deposit any Special Payments so received by it
in the Special Payments Account for such Pass Through Trust. (Agreements,
Section 4.01) All amounts so deposited will be distributed by the Trustee on a
Regular Distribution Date or a Special Distribution Date, as the case may be,
to the holders of Certificates evidencing interests in such Pass Through Trust.
(Agreements, Section 4.02)
 
  At such time, if any, as Definitive Certificates are issued, distributions by
the Trustee to Certificateholders, other than a final distribution, will be
made by check mailed to each Certificateholder of record on the applicable
record date at its address appearing on the register. (Agreements, Section
4.02) The final distribution with respect to the Certificates evidencing
interests in a Pass Through Trust, however, will be made only upon presentation
and surrender of such Certificate at the office or agency of the Trustee
specified in the notice given by the Trustee of such final distribution. The
Trustee will mail such notice of the final distribution to the
Certificateholders, specifying the date set for such final distribution and the
amount of such distribution. (Agreements, Section 11.01) See "--Termination of
the Pass Through Trusts".
 
  If any Regular Distribution Date or Special Distribution Date is not a
Business Day, distributions scheduled to be made on such Regular Distribution
Date or Special Distribution Date may be made on the next succeeding Business
Day without any additional interest due to the delay. (Agreements, Section
12.10)
 
POOL FACTORS
 
  Unless there has been an early redemption, or a default, in respect of one or
more Mortgage Notes held in a Pass Through Trust, as described under
"Description of the Mortgage Notes--Redemption" and "--Events of Default and
Certain Rights Upon an Event of Default", the Pool Factor for each Pass Through
Trust will decline in proportion to the Scheduled Payments of principal on the
Mortgage Notes held in such Pass Through Trust as described under "Description
of the Mortgage Notes--Principal and Interest Payments". In the event of such
redemption or default, the Pool Factor and the Pool Balance of each Pass
Through Trust affected thereby will be recomputed after giving effect thereto
and notice thereof will be mailed to the holders of Certificates evidencing
interests in such Pass Through Trust. Each Pass Through Trust will have a
separate Pool Factor.
 
  The "Pool Balance" for each Pass Through Trust will indicate, as of any date,
the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Mortgage Notes held in such Pass
Through Trust on such date plus any amounts in respect of principal on such
Mortgage Notes held by the Trustee and not yet distributed, plus any proceeds
from the sale of the Certificates issued by such Pass Through Trust that have
not yet been used to purchase Mortgage Notes. The Pool Balance for each Pass
Through Trust as of any Regular Distribution Date or Special Distribution Date
will be computed after giving effect to the payment of principal, if any, on
the Mortgage Notes held in such Pass Through Trust and the distribution thereof
to be made on that date.
 
  The "Pool Factor" for each Pass Through Trust as of any Regular Distribution
Date or Special Distribution Date will be the quotient (rounded to the seventh
decimal place) computed by dividing the then outstanding Pool Balance by the
aggregate original principal amount of the Mortgage Notes held in such Pass
Through Trust. The Pool Factor for each Pass Through Trust will initially be
1.0000000; thereafter, the Pool Factor for each Pass Through Trust will decline
to reflect reductions in the Pool Balance resulting from distributions in
respect of principal on the Certificates. The amount of a Certificateholder's
pro rata share of the Pool Balance of the Pass Through Trust in which the
Certificates held by such Certificateholder evidence an interest can be
determined by multiplying the original denomination of the holder's Certificate
by the Pool Factor for such Pass Through Trust as of the applicable Regular
Distribution Date or Special Distribution
 
                                       18
<PAGE>
 
Date. The Pool Factor and the Pool Balance for a Pass Through Trust will be
mailed to record holders of Certificates evidencing interests in such Pass
Through Trust on each Regular Distribution Date and Special Distribution Date.
 
  As of the date of issuance of the Certificates and assuming that all proceeds
are used to purchase Mortgage Notes on or before July  , 1995, and that no
early redemption, delinquency or default in respect of any Mortgage Notes
occurs, the Scheduled Payments of principal on such Mortgage Notes, and the
resulting Pool Factors for the Pass Through Trusts after giving effect to each
such payment, are set forth below.
 
<TABLE>

  To the extent that the Mortgage Notes held in a Pass Through Trust are
redeemed or a delinquency or default in respect thereof occurs, the timing
(and, in the case of defaults, the amount) of distributions in respect of
principal on the Certificates evidencing an interest in such Pass Through Trust
will differ from that set forth above.
 
REPORTS TO CERTIFICATEHOLDERS
 
  On each Regular Distribution Date and Special Distribution Date for a Pass
Through Trust, the Trustee will include with each distribution of a Scheduled
Payment or Special Payment to holders of record of the Certificates evidencing
interests in such Pass Through Trust a statement, giving effect to such
distribution to be made on such Regular Distribution Date or Special
Distribution Date, setting forth the following information (per $1,000
aggregate principal amount, as to (i) and (ii) below):
 
  (i)   the amount of such distribution allocable to principal and the amount
        allocable to premium, if any;
  (ii)  the amount of such distribution allocable to interest; and
  (iii) the Pool Balance and the Pool Factor for such Pass Through Trust.
(Agreements, Section 4.03(a))
 
  So long as the Certificates are registered in the name of Cede, as nominee
for DTC, on the Record Date prior to each Regular Distribution Date and Special
Distribution Date for a Pass Through Trust, the Trustee will request from DTC a
securities position listing setting forth the names of all DTC Participants
reflected
 
                                       19
<PAGE>
 
on DTC's books as holding positions in the Certificates evidencing interests in
such Pass Through Trust on such Record Date. On each Regular Distribution Date
and Special Distribution Date for a Pass Through Trust, the Trustee will mail
to each such DTC Participant the statement described above, and will make
available additional copies as requested by such DTC Participant, to be
available for forwarding to the related Certificate Owners. (Agreements,
Section 3.09)
 
  In addition, after the end of each calendar year, the Trustee will prepare
for each holder of record of Certificates evidencing interests in such Pass
Through Trust at any time during the preceding calendar year a report
containing the sum of the amounts determined pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii)
above with respect to such Pass Through Trust for such calendar year or, in the
event such person was a Certificateholder of record during a portion of such
calendar year, for the applicable portion of such calendar year, and such other
items as are readily available to the Trustee and which a Certificateholder
shall reasonably request as necessary for the purpose of such
Certificateholder's preparation of its federal income tax returns. (Agreements,
Section 4.03(b)) Such report and such other items shall be prepared on the
basis of information supplied to the Trustee by the DTC Participants, and shall
be delivered by the Trustee to such DTC Participants to be available for
forwarding by such DTC Participants to Certificate Owners in the manner
described above.
 
  At such time, if any, as Definitive Certificates are issued, the Trustee will
prepare and deliver the information described above to each holder of record of
Certificates evidencing interests in such Pass Through Trust as the name of
such Certificateholder appears on the records of the Trustee.
 
  Kmart is required to furnish annually to the Trustee a certificate as to its
compliance with the conditions and covenants under the Agreements during the
preceding year. (Agreements, Section 5.03)
 
VOTING OF MORTGAGE NOTES
 
  The Trustee, as holder of the Mortgage Notes held in such Pass Through Trust,
will have the right to vote and give consents and waivers in respect of such
Mortgage Notes under the Indentures. Each Agreement sets forth the
circumstances in which the Trustee shall direct any action or cast any vote as
the holder of the Mortgage Notes held in the applicable Pass Through Trust at
its own discretion and the circumstances in which the Trustee shall seek
instructions from the holders of the Certificates evidencing interests in such
Pass Through Trust. Under each Agreement, prior to an Event of Default (as
defined below), the principal amount of the Mortgage Notes held in the related
Pass Through Trust directing any action or being voted for or against any
proposal shall be in proportion to the principal amount of Certificates held by
the holders of Certificates evidencing interests in such Pass Through Trust
taking the corresponding position. (Agreements, Sections 6.04 and 10.01)
 
EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND CERTAIN RIGHTS UPON AN EVENT OF DEFAULT
 
  An event of default under an Agreement (an "Event of Default") is defined as
the occurrence and continuance of an event of default under one or more of the
Indentures (an "Indenture Default"). See "Description of the Mortgage Notes--
Indenture Defaults, Notice and Waiver" for a description of the Indenture
Defaults. Since each Pass Through Trust will hold Mortgage Notes issued
pursuant to each of the Indentures, a continuing Indenture Default under any
one Indenture will result in an Event of Default under each of the Agreements
and therefore will affect each of the Pass Through Trusts. The Indentures and
the related Mortgage Notes issued thereunder do not contain cross-default
provisions, and events resulting in an Indenture Default under any of such
Indentures will not necessarily result in an Indenture Default occurring under
any other Indenture. See "Description of the Mortgage Notes--General". If an
Indenture Default occurs under fewer than all of the Indentures, the Mortgage
Notes issued pursuant to the Indenture or Indentures with respect to which an
Indenture Default has not occurred will continue to be held in the Pass Through
Trusts and payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on such
Mortgage Notes will continue to be distributed to the holders of the
Certificates as received.
 
 
                                       20
<PAGE>
 
  The related Owner Trustee (except during any period during which Kmart is an
Owner Participant or otherwise controls such Owner Trustee) will have the
right, under certain circumstances, to cure Indenture Defaults that result
from the occurrence of a Lease Event of Default under the related Lease of a
Property. If an Owner Trustee chooses to exercise such cure right, the
Indenture Default, and consequently the Event of Default under each Agreement,
will be deemed to be cured. (Supplemental Indentures, Section 2.12(a)) See
"Description of the Mortgage Notes--Indenture Defaults, Notice and Waiver".
 
  The Indenture Trustee's right to exercise remedies under each Indenture is
subject to certain limitations. See "Description of the Mortgage Notes--
Remedies".
 
  Each Agreement provides that, so long as an Indenture Default under any
Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may vote all of
the Mortgage Notes issued under such Indenture that are held in the Pass
Through Trust and, upon the direction of the holders of Certificates
evidencing fractional undivided interests aggregating not less than a majority
in interest of such Pass Through Trust, shall vote a corresponding percentage
of such Mortgage Notes in favor of directing the Indenture Trustee to declare
the unpaid principal amount of both Mortgage Notes issued under such Indenture
and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to be due and payable. Each
Agreement in addition provides that, if an Indenture Default under any
Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may, and upon the
direction of the holders of Certificates evidencing fractional undivided
interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest of the related Pass
Through Trust shall, vote a corresponding percentage of the Mortgage Notes
issued under such Indenture that are held in such Pass Through Trust in favor
of directing the Indenture Trustee as to the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee or
of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee under such
Indenture, provided that if an Event of Default under any Indenture shall have
occurred and be continuing, such direction by the Certificateholders shall not
obligate the Trustee to vote more than a corresponding majority of the related
Mortgage Notes in favor of directing any action by the Indenture Trustee with
respect to such Indenture Default. (Agreements, Sections 6.01 and 6.04)
 
  Each Indenture provides that, if an Indenture Default shall occur and be
continuing thereunder, the Indenture Trustee may, or upon the instructions of
the holders of 25% in principal amount of the Mortgage Notes outstanding under
such Indenture shall, declare the unpaid principal amount of the Mortgage
Notes issued under such Indenture to be immediately due and payable, together
with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Each Indenture further provides
that, if an Indenture Default shall occur and be continuing thereunder, the
holders of a majority in aggregate outstanding principal amount of the
Mortgage Notes issued under such Indenture may direct the Indenture Trustee
with respect to the exercise of remedies thereunder. See "Description of the
Mortgage Notes--Remedies". Accordingly, the ability of the holders of the
Certificates evidencing interests in a Pass Through Trust to cause the
Indenture Trustee to accelerate the Mortgage Notes issued under an Indenture
or to direct the exercise of remedies by the Indenture Trustee under an
Indenture will depend, in part, upon the proportion of the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Notes issued under such Indenture
held in such Pass Through Trust to the aggregate outstanding principal amount
of all Mortgage Notes issued under such Indenture. Each Pass Through Trust
will hold Mortgage Notes with different interest rates, maturity dates,
initial principal amounts and amortization schedules than the Mortgage Notes
held in the other Pass Through Trust, and therefore the holders of
Certificates evidencing interests in a Pass Through Trust may have interests
that diverge from or conflict with those of the holders of Certificates
evidencing interests in the other Pass Through Trust. In addition, so long as
the same institution acts as Trustee of each Pass Through Trust, in the
absence of instructions from the Certificateholders of any such Pass Through
Trust, the Trustee for such Pass Through Trust could for the same reason be
faced with a potential conflict of interest upon an Indenture Default.
 
  As an additional remedy, if an Indenture Default under an Indenture shall
have occurred and be continuing, each Agreement provides that the Trustee may,
and upon the direction of the holders of Certificates evidencing fractional
undivided interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest of the
related Pass Through Trust shall, sell all or part of the Mortgage Notes
issued under such Indenture that are held in such Pass Through Trust for cash.
(Agreements, Sections 6.01 and 6.02) Any proceeds received by the
 
                                      21
<PAGE>
 
Trustee upon any such sale shall be deposited in the related Special Payments
Account and shall be distributed on the next succeeding Special Distribution
Date to holders of Certificates evidencing interests in such Pass Through
Trust. (Agreements, Section 4.02) The market for Mortgage Notes in default may
be very limited and there can be no assurance that they could be sold for a
reasonable price. If the Trustee sells any Mortgage Note held in a Pass Through
Trust with respect to which an Indenture Default exists for less than its
outstanding principal amount and accrued interest thereon, the amount of
distributions made to holders of the Certificates evidencing interests in such
Pass Through Trust will be less than would otherwise be the case.
 
  Any amount distributed to the Trustee by the Indenture Trustee under any
Indenture on account of the Mortgage Notes held in a Pass Through Trust
following an Indenture Default under such Indenture will be deposited in the
Special Payments Account and distributed to the related Certificateholders on
the next succeeding Special Distribution Date. In addition, if following an
Indenture Default under any Indenture, the related Owner Trustee exercises its
option to redeem the outstanding Mortgage Notes issued under such Indenture as
described below under "Description of the Mortgage Notes--Redemption". The
price paid by such Owner Trustee to the Trustee for the Mortgage Notes issued
under such Indenture and held in a Pass Through Trust will be deposited in the
Special Payments Account for such Pass Through Trust and distributed to the
related Certificateholders on a Special Distribution Date.
 
  Any funds representing payments received with respect to any defaulted
Mortgage Notes held in a Pass Through Trust, or the proceeds from the sale by
the Trustee of any such Mortgage Notes received by the Trustee, will be
deposited in the Special Payments Account for such Pass Through Trust and
(except when received on a Special Distribution Date as to which notice has
been timely given), to the extent practicable, invested and reinvested by the
Trustee in Permitted Investments maturing no later than the next succeeding
Special Distribution Date pending the distribution of such funds on such
Special Distribution Date. Permitted Investments are defined in the Agreements
as obligations of the United States. (Agreements, Sections 4.01 and 4.04)
 
  Each Agreement provides that the Trustee shall, within 90 days after the
occurrence of a default in respect of the Pass Through Trust, give notice,
transmitted by mail, to the holders of the Certificates evidencing interests in
such Pass Through Trust of all uncured or unwaived defaults under such
Agreement known to it; provided that, except in the case of a default in the
payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Mortgage Notes held
in such Pass Through Trust, the Trustee need not give such notice if the
Trustee makes a good faith determination that it is in the interests of the
holders of the Certificates to withhold such notice. The term "default", for
the purpose of the provision described in this paragraph only, shall mean the
occurrence of any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time, or both,
would become an Event of Default. (Agreements, Section 7.02)
 
  Each Agreement contains a provision entitling the Trustee to be indemnified
by the holders of the Certificates evidencing interests in the related Pass
Through Trust before proceeding to exercise any right or power under such
Agreement at the request of such Certificateholders. (Agreements, Section 7.03)
 
  In certain cases, the holders of Certificates evidencing fractional undivided
interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest of a Pass Through
Trust may, on behalf of the holders of all Certificates evidencing interests in
such Pass Through Trust, waive any past Event of Default under the related
Agreement and thereby annul any direction given by such holders to the
Indenture Trustee with respect thereto (provided that any such waiver will be
effective only if the corresponding Indenture Event of Default has been waived
under the related Indenture by the requisite holders of the Mortgage Notes
outstanding thereunder), except (i) a default in the deposit of any Scheduled
Payment or Special Payment or in the distribution of any such payment, (ii) a
default in payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on any of the
Mortgage Notes held in such Pass Through Trust or (iii) a default in respect of
any covenant or provision of the related Agreement that cannot be modified or
amended without the consent of each holder of a Certificate evidencing an
interest in such Pass Through Trust affected thereby. (Agreements, Section
6.05) See "--Modifications of
 
                                       22
<PAGE>
 
the Agreements". Each Indenture provides that, with certain exceptions, the
holders of not less than a majority in aggregate outstanding principal amount
of the Mortgage Notes issued thereunder may, on behalf of all such holders,
waive any past Indenture Default thereunder. (Base Indentures, Section 8.3) In
the event of a waiver under an Agreement as described above, the principal
amount of the Mortgage Notes issued under the applicable Indenture held in the
related Pass Through Trust shall be counted as having voted for a waiver of
such past Indenture Default. For a discussion of waivers of Indenture Defaults
under the Indentures, see "Description of the Mortgage Notes--Indenture
Defaults, Notice and Waiver".
 
MODIFICATIONS OF THE AGREEMENTS
 
  Each Agreement contains provisions permitting Kmart and the Trustee to enter
into a supplement to the Agreement, without the consent of the holders of any
of the Certificates evidencing an interest in the Pass Through Trust created
thereby, among other things, (i) to evidence the succession of another
corporation to Kmart and the assumption by such corporation of Kmart's
obligations under such Agreement, (ii) to add to the covenants of Kmart for the
benefit of the holders of such Certificates, or (iii) to cure any ambiguity, to
correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision of such Agreement
or any supplement, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or
questions arising under such Agreement or any supplement, provided such action
shall not adversely affect the interests of the holders of such Certificates.
(Agreements, Section 9.01)
 
  Each Agreement also contains provisions permitting Kmart and the Trustee,
with the consent of the holders of Certificates evidencing fractional undivided
interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest of the Pass Through
Trust created thereby, and the consent of the related Owner Trustee (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld), to execute supplements thereto adding
any provisions to or changing or eliminating any of the provisions of the
Agreement or modifying the rights of the Certificateholders thereunder, except
that no such supplement may, without the consent of the holder of each
Certificate so affected, (a) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the
timing of, any receipt by the Trustee of payments on the Mortgage Notes held in
such Pass Through Trust, or distributions in respect of any Certificate related
to such Pass Through Trust, or make distributions payable in coin or currency
other than that provided for in such Certificates, or impair the right of any
Certificateholder of such Pass Through Trust to institute suit for the
enforcement of any such payment when due, (b) permit the disposition of any
Mortgage Note held in such Pass Through Trust, except as provided in such
Agreement, or otherwise deprive any Certificateholder of the benefit of the
ownership of the Mortgage Notes in such Pass Through Trust, (c) reduce the
percentage of the aggregate fractional undivided interests of the Pass Through
Trust provided for in such Agreement, the consent of the holders of
Certificates evidencing which is required for any such supplement or for any
waiver provided for in such Agreement or (d) modify certain provisions of the
Agreement regarding supplemental agreements with the consent of
Certificateholders or waiver of past defaults, except to increase any
percentage specified therein or to provide that certain other provisions cannot
be modified or waived without the consent of each Certificateholder affected
thereby. (Agreements, Section 9.02)
 
MODIFICATION OF LEASES AND OTHER DOCUMENTS
 
  In the event that the Trustee, as the holder of the Mortgage Notes held in a
Pass Through Trust, receives a request for its consent to any amendment,
modification, waiver or supplement under the related Indenture, any Lease or
any other related document relating to such Mortgage Notes, the Trustee shall
mail a notice of such proposed amendment, modification, waiver or supplement to
each record holder of a Certificate evidencing an interest in such Pass Through
Trust as of the date of such notice. The Trustee shall request instructions
from such Certificateholders as to whether or not to consent to such amendment,
modification or waiver, and shall vote or consent, subject to the applicable
vote or consent requirements of the related Indenture or Indentures, with
respect to the Mortgage Notes held in such Pass Through Trust in the same
proportion as the Certificates were actually voted by the holders thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
 
                                       23
<PAGE>
 
an Event of Default under the related Agreement shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Trustee, subject to the voting instructions referred to under
"--Event of Default and Certain Rights Upon an Event of Default", may in its
own discretion consent to such amendment, modification or waiver, and may so
notify the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture to which such consent relates.
(Agreements, Section 10.01)
 
TERMINATION OF THE PASS THROUGH TRUSTS
 
  The obligations of Kmart and the Trustee created by an Agreement will
terminate upon the distribution to holders of Certificates evidencing interests
in the Pass Through Trust created by such Agreement of all amounts required to
be distributed to them pursuant to the Agreement and the disposition of all
property held in such Pass Through Trust. The Trustee will mail to each holder
of record of a Certificate evidencing an interest in such Pass Through Trust
notice of the termination thereof, the amount of the proposed final payment and
the proposed date for the distribution of such final payment. The final
distribution to any holder of a Certificate will be made only upon surrender of
such holder's Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee specified in
such notice of termination. (Agreements, Section 11.01)
 
DELAYED PURCHASE
 
  In the event that all of the proceeds from the sale of the Certificates are
not used on the closing date of this offering to purchase the Mortgage Notes
contemplated to be held in the related Pass Through Trust, such Mortgage Notes
may be purchased by the Trustee at any time on or prior to July   , 1995. In
such event, the Trustee will hold the proceeds from the sale of such
Certificates not used to purchase Mortgage Notes in an escrow account pending
the purchase of the Mortgage Notes not so purchased. Such proceeds will be
invested in Specified Investments at the direction and risk of, and for the
account of, Kmart. Earnings on Specified Investments in the escrow account for
each Pass Through Trust will be paid to Kmart periodically, and Kmart will be
responsible for any losses. (Agreements, Section 2.01(b))
 
  On January 2, 1996, Kmart will pay to the Trustee an amount equal to the
interest that would have accrued on any Mortgage Notes purchased after the date
of the issuance of such Certificates from the date of the issuance of such
Certificates to, but excluding, the date of the purchase of such Mortgage Notes
by the Trustee. (Agreements, Section 2.01(b))
 
SPECIAL DISTRIBUTION UPON UNAVAILABILITY OF TRUST PROPERTY
 
  To the extent, due to a casualty to, or other event causing the
unavailability of, a Property, that the full amount of the proceeds from the
sale of any Certificates held in the escrow account referred to above is not
used to purchase Mortgage Notes on or prior to July   , 1995, an amount equal
to the unused proceeds will be distributed by the Trustee to the
Certificateholders of record of such Pass Through Trust on a pro rata basis on
September 2, 1995 together with interest thereon at a rate equal to the rate
applicable to such Certificates, but without premium, and Kmart will pay to the
Trustee on such date an amount equal to such interest. (Agreements, Section
2.01(b))
 
THE TRUSTEE
 
  Shawmut Bank Connecticut, National Association, is the Trustee for each Pass
Through Trust. The Trustee and any of its affiliates may hold Certificates in
their own names. (Agreements, Section 7.05) With certain exceptions, the
Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of the
Agreements, the Certificates, the Mortgage Notes, the Indentures, the Leases,
the Participation Agreements or other related documents. (Agreements, Section
7.04) Shawmut Bank Connecticut, National Association, is also the Indenture
Trustee under each of the Indentures under which the Mortgage Notes with
respect to each
 
                                       24
<PAGE>
 
Property are issued. In addition, Shawmut Bank Connecticut, National
Association, serves as owner trustee in other leveraged lease financings
involving Kmart and has customary banking relationships with Kmart.
 
  The Trustee may resign with respect to any or all of the Pass Through Trusts
at any time, in which event Kmart will be obligated to appoint a successor
trustee. If a Trustee ceases to be eligible to continue as Trustee under an
Agreement or becomes incapable of acting as Trustee or becomes insolvent, Kmart
may remove such Trustee, or any holder for at least six months of Certificates
evidencing an interest in the Pass Through Trust created thereby may, on behalf
of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of such Trustee and the appointment of a successor
trustee. In addition, the holders of Certificates evidencing fractional
undivided interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest of such
Pass Through Trust may at any time remove the Trustee without cause by
delivering an instrument in writing to Kmart, the Trustee, the Owner Trustees
and the Indenture Trustee. Any resignation or removal of the Trustee of a Pass
Through Trust and appointment of a successor trustee for such Pass Through
Trust will not become effective until acceptance of the appointment by the
successor trustee. (Agreements, Sections 7.09 and 7.10) Pursuant to such
resignation and successor trustee provisions, it is possible that a different
trustee could be appointed to act as the successor trustee with respect to each
Pass Through Trust. All references in this Prospectus to the Trustee are to the
trustee acting in such capacity under each of the Pass Through Trusts and
should be read to take into account the possibility that each of the Pass
Through Trusts could have a different successor trustee in the event of such a
resignation or removal.
 
  Each Agreement provides that Kmart will pay the Trustee's fees and expenses.
Each Agreement further provides that the Trustee will be entitled to
indemnification by Kmart for, and will be held harmless against, any loss,
liability or expense incurred by the Trustee (other than through its own
willful misconduct, negligence or by reason of a breach of any of its
representations or warranties set forth in such Agreement), except to the
extent that such loss, liability or expense is for or with respect to taxes, in
which case the Trustee may be entitled to be reimbursed by the Pass Through
Trust. (Agreements, Section 7.07)

                       DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE NOTES
 
  The statements under this caption are summaries of the terms of the Mortgage
Notes and the Indentures and do not purport to be complete. The summaries make
use of terms defined in and are qualified in their entirety by reference to all
of the provisions of the Mortgage Notes, the Base Indentures and the
Supplemental Indentures, the forms of which have been filed as exhibits to the
Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part. Unless otherwise
indicated, the following summaries relate to the Mortgage Notes and the
Indenture relating to each Property in respect of which such Mortgage Notes are
to be issued. Citations to the relevant sections of the Base Indentures,
Supplemental Indentures and the Leases appear below in parentheses.
 
GENERAL
 
  Two Mortgage Notes will initially be issued under each Indenture and each
Indenture will relate to a single Property. Each Indenture will be between the
applicable Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee. Mortgage Notes issued
pursuant to each Indenture will be secured by, among other things, a lien on
only the Property to which such Indenture relates and will not have cross-
default or cross-collateralization provisions.
 
  Each Owner Trustee will lease its Properties to Kmart. Kmart will be
obligated under each Lease to make or cause to be made rental and other
payments to the related Owner Trustee in amounts that will be at least
sufficient to pay when due all payments required to be made on the related
Mortgage Notes, except in certain cases of optional redemption which require
such Owner Trustee to deposit an amount sufficient to pay the Redemption Price
and Make-Whole Premium with the Indenture Trustee. (Leases, Article 3(d)) The
Mortgage Notes will not, however, be direct obligations of, or guaranteed by,
Kmart (except to the extent that Kmart may assume the obligations of such Owner
Trustee thereunder). Kmart's rental obligations under each Lease will be
general obligations of Kmart. Payments under each Lease in excess of the
amounts necessary to make required payments on the related Mortgage Notes will
be paid by the Indenture Trustee to the related Owner Trustee for distribution
to the corresponding Owner Participant and will not be available for
distributions on the Certificates, except in certain cases upon an Indenture
Default. (Base Indentures, Sections 4.1 and 8.4(b)).
 
PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST PAYMENTS
 
  The aggregate principal amount of the Mortgage Notes issued with respect to
each Property will not exceed 90% of the purchase price to the related Owner
Trustee of acquiring such Property.
 
  The aggregate principal amount of the Mortgage Notes issued with respect to
each Property, as such Mortgage Notes are to be held in each of the Pass
Through Trusts, are as follows:

  Interest will be payable on each Mortgage Note at the rate borne by such
Mortgage Note on the unpaid principal amount thereof on January 2 and July 2 in
each year, commencing January 2, 1996. Such interest will be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. (Base Indentures, Section 2.7)
 
  If any date scheduled for any payment of principal, premium, if any, or
interest on the Mortgage Notes is not a Business Day, such payment may be made
on the next succeeding Business Day without any additional interest.
(Supplemental Indentures, Section 1.6)
 
REDEMPTION
 
  All of the Mortgage Notes issued with respect to any Property are subject to
redemption prior to maturity, without the consent of the Trustee, in whole at
any time at the option of the related Owner Trustee in connection with a
voluntary refunding. The Mortgage Notes issued with respect to any Property are
also subject to redemption, in whole, in the event that (a) on or after the
seventh anniversary of the commencement of the term of the related Lease, Kmart
determines that such Property is obsolete, no longer economic for Kmart's use
or surplus to Kmart's needs (the "Termination Right") and Kmart has not
elected, or has not satisfied the conditions, to assume, on a full recourse
basis, the Owner Trustee's obligations with respect to such Mortgage Notes and
has not elected to exercise its Substitution Right (as defined in "Description
of the Leases--Substitution") or (b) the related Owner Participant becomes a
competitor of Kmart (the "Competitor Option") and, as a result thereof, either
(i) the Property is sold to a third party or (ii) Kmart acquires the Property
or the Owner Participant's interest therein and either has not elected, or has
not satisfied the conditions, to assume, on a full recourse basis, the Owner
Trustee's obligations with respect to such Mortgage Notes. See "Description of
the Mortgage Notes--Assumption of Obligations by Kmart" and "Description of the
Leases--Obsolescence Termination" and "--Substitution". The price of each
Mortgage Note to be redeemed in each such case shall be equal to the unpaid
principal amount of the Mortgage Notes to be redeemed plus accrued but unpaid
interest thereon (the "Redemption Price") plus, if such redemption is made
prior to the applicable Premium Termination Date, a Make-Whole Premium, if any.
(Base Indentures, Sections 6.1 and 7.1; Leases, Articles 39 and 41;
Participation Agreements, Section 3)
 
  The Make-Whole Premium, if any, on the Mortgage Notes will be determined by
an independent investment banking institution of national standing (the
"Investment Banker") selected by Kmart. The Investment Banker will first
determine the Treasury Rate with respect to any redemption of Mortgage Notes.
The Treasury Rate means, with respect to each Mortgage Note to be redeemed, a
per annum rate (expressed as a semiannual equivalent and as a decimal and, in
the case of United States Treasury bills, converted to a bond equivalent yield)
determined to be the per annum rate equal to the semiannual yield to maturity
of United States Treasury securities maturing on the Average Life Date (as
defined below) of such Mortgage
 
                                       28
<PAGE>
 
Note, as determined by interpolation between the most recent weekly average
yields to maturity for two series of United States Treasury securities (A) one
maturing as close as possible to, but earlier than, the Average Life Date of
such Mortgage Note and (B) the other maturing as close as possible to, but
later than, the Average Life Date of such Mortgage Note, in each case as
published in the most recent H.15(519) (or, if a weekly average yield to
maturity for United States Treasury securities maturing on the Average Life
Date of such Mortgage Note is reported in the most recent H.15(519), as
published in H.15(519)). H.15(519) means "Statistical Release H.15(519),
Selected Interest Rates", or any successor publication, published by the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The most recent H.15(519) means the
latest H.15(519) which is published prior to the close of business on the third
business day prior to the applicable Redemption Date. The Average Life Date for
any Mortgage Note to be redeemed shall be the date which follows the Redemption
Date, by a period equal to the Remaining Weighted Average Life of such Mortgage
Note. The Remaining Weighted Average Life of such Mortgage Note, with respect
to the redemption of such Mortgage Note, is the number of days equal to the
quotient obtained by dividing (A) the sum of the products obtained by
multiplying (1) the amount of each remaining principal payment on such Mortgage
Note by (2) the number of days from and including the Redemption Date, to but
excluding the scheduled payment date of such principal payment by (B) the
unpaid principal amount of such Mortgage Note.
 
  To determine the Make-Whole Premium for any Mortgage Note, the Investment
Banker then will determine, as of the third business day prior to the
Redemption Date, the sum of the present values of all of the remaining
scheduled payments of principal and interest to maturity on such Mortgage Note
computed on a semiannual basis by discounting such payments (assuming a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months) using such Treasury Rate. If the sum
of these present values of the remaining payments as computed above exceeds the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Mortgage Note to be redeemed plus any
accrued but unpaid interest thereon, the difference will be payable as a
premium upon redemption of such Mortgage Note. If the sum is equal to or less
than such principal amount plus accrued interest, there will be no premium
payable with respect to such Mortgage Note.
 
  The Mortgage Notes issued with respect to a Property shall, if Kmart does not
exercise its Substitution Right, be redeemed following the occurrence of an
Event of Loss with respect to such Property, at a price equal to the Redemption
Price. See "Description of the Leases--Condemnation and Casualty" and "--
Substitution". (Base Indentures, Section 6.1; Leases, Articles 39 and 41)
 
  The Mortgage Notes issued with respect to each Property are subject to
redemption or purchase by the related Owner Trustee (except during any period
during which Kmart is an Owner Participant or otherwise controls such Owner
Trustee), in whole, but not in part, if under the related Indenture an
Indenture Default arising from a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and
(i) the Indenture Trustee shall have given notice of its intent to accelerate
such Mortgage Notes or (ii) such Indenture Default shall have continued for a
period of 180 days or more during which such Mortgage Notes could, but shall
not, have been accelerated at a price equal to the Redemption Price plus all
other amounts then due and payable to the holders of such Mortgage Notes plus,
in the case of redemption or purchase pursuant to clause (ii), if such Lease
Event of Default shall have continued for less than 270 days and such
redemption is made prior to the applicable Premium Termination Date, a Make-
Whole Premium, if any. (Base Indentures, Section, 8.4(c))
 
  Any redemption of the Mortgage Notes shall occur on the respective date of
redemption (the "Redemption Date") fixed in accordance with the related
Indenture. The Redemption Date shall be the date designated in the notice of
redemption given by the related Owner Trustee (or by Kmart pursuant to the
related Lease) to the Indenture Trustee. Any such notice must be given not less
than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date. (Base Indentures, Section 6.2 and
6.3)
 
SECURITY
 
  Two Mortgage Notes will initially be issued under each Indenture, and will be
secured by, among other things, (i) an assignment to the Indenture Trustee of
certain of the related Owner Trustee's rights under the
 
                                       29
<PAGE>
 
Lease with respect to the Property subject to such Indenture, including the
right to receive rentals and certain other amounts payable thereunder by Kmart
(but excluding Excepted Payments), (ii) a first mortgage lien on the
Improvements and Estate for Years acquired by such Owner Trustee and leased to
Kmart, subject to the rights of Kmart under the related Lease, and (iii) the
related Owner Trustee's rights under the Option. The Mortgage Notes issued
under an Indenture will not be secured by any of the Properties securing
Mortgage Notes issued under any other Indenture and will not have cross-default
provisions, with the result that the existence of an Indenture Default under an
Indenture will not cause an Indenture Default under any other Indenture. Unless
and until an Indenture Default has occurred and is continuing, payments under
the Lease with respect to such Property in excess of the amount required to pay
amounts owed in respect of the related Owner Trustee's Mortgage Notes will be
paid to such Owner Trustee for distribution to the related Owner Participant
and, accordingly, no such excess payments distributed prior to an Indenture
Default will be available to satisfy any deficiency in the amount available to
pay the related Mortgage Notes in full. (Base Indentures, Sections 4.1;
Supplemental Indentures, Granting Clause and Section 2.12(b))
 
  Unless and until an Indenture Default has occurred and is continuing and the
related Mortgage Notes have been declared due and payable, the Indenture
Trustee may not exercise any of the rights of the Owner Trustee under the
related Lease, except the right to receive payments of rentals due thereunder
(other than Excepted Payments). (Supplemental Indentures, Granting Clause)
 
  Funds, if any, held from time to time by the Indenture Trustee with respect
to any Property, including funds held as the result of an Event of Loss with
respect to such Property or termination of the Lease related thereto, will be
invested and reinvested in certain Permitted Investments selected by the
Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee will not be obligated to pay the
amount of any loss resulting from any such investment directed by it. (Base
Indentures, Section 9.4)
 
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
 
  The Mortgage Notes are not direct obligations of, or guaranteed by, Kmart
(except to the extent that it assumes the obligations of an Owner Trustee under
any of the Mortgage Notes under the circumstances described under "--Assumption
of Obligations by Kmart") or the Owner Trustees. None of the Owner Trustees,
the Owner Participants or the Indenture Trustee, nor any affiliate thereof,
shall be personally liable to any holder of a Mortgage Note or to the Indenture
Trustee for any amounts payable under the Mortgage Notes or for any liability
under such Indenture. All payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest
on the Mortgage Notes issued with respect to any Property will be made only
from the assets subject to the lien of the related Indenture and the income and
proceeds received by the Indenture Trustee therefrom (including Basic Rent and
certain amounts of Additional Rent payable by Kmart under the related Lease).
(Base Indentures, Section 2.11) None of the Owner Trustees, the Owner
Participants or the Indenture Trustee shall be personally liable for or in
respect of this Prospectus.
 
INDENTURE DEFAULTS, NOTICE AND WAIVER
 
  Indenture Defaults under each Indenture include: (a) the occurrence and
continuance of any Lease Event of Default under the related Lease (other than a
Lease Event of Default related to Excepted Payments), (b) failure by the
related Owner Trustee to pay when due any principal, Make-Whole Premium, if
any, or interest on any Mortgage Note issued thereunder and continuance of that
failure for 10 days, (c) failure by the related Owner Trustee to comply with
any covenant contained in such Indenture or the related Participation Agreement
(to the extent related to the Property subject to the lien of such Indenture),
which continues unremedied for a period of 30 days (or such longer period but
in no event more than 180 days) if the Owner Trustee is diligently proceeding
to correct such failure at the end of the original 30-day period and reasonably
expects to correct such failure within the additional 150-day period) after
notice to such Owner Trustee by the Indenture Trustee or to such Owner Trustee
and the Indenture Trustee by the holders of at least 25% of the outstanding
principal amount of Mortgage Notes issued under such Indenture, (d) any
representation or warranty made by the related Owner Trustee or Owner
Participant in such Indenture or the related
 
                                       30
<PAGE>
 
Participation Agreement (to the extent related to the Property subject to the
lien of such Indenture) shall prove at any time to have been inaccurate in any
material respect as of the date made, and any material adverse impact of such
inaccuracy shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days (or such longer
period (but in no event more than 60 days) if such falseness or inaccuracy is
susceptible to being remedied within a reasonable period of time if such Owner
Trustee or Owner Participant, as applicable, is diligently proceeding to
correct such failure at the end of the original 30-day period and reasonably
expects to correct such failure within the additional 30-day period) after
notice to such Owner Trustee by the Indenture Trustee or to such Owner Trustee
and the Indenture Trustee by the holders of at least 25% of the outstanding
principal amount of Mortgage Notes issued under such Indenture, and (e) the
occurrence of certain events of bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency of
the related Owner Trustee. (Base Indentures, Section 8.1)
 
  In the event Kmart fails to make any semiannual basic rental payment when
due under any Lease and such failure shall not constitute the fourth or
subsequent consecutive or the seventh or subsequent cumulative such failure,
then the related Owner Trustee or Owner Participant may furnish to the
Indenture Trustee an amount equal to but not less than all principal and
interest as shall then be due on the related Mortgage Notes, together with any
overdue interest, in which event the Indenture Trustee and the holders of
outstanding Mortgage Notes issued under such Indenture may not exercise any
remedies otherwise available under such Indenture or the Lease securing the
Mortgage Notes issued thereunder as the result of such failure to make such
rental payment. An Owner Trustee may also cure any other default by Kmart in
the performance of its obligations under the related Lease. The cure rights
described above will not apply during any period during which Kmart is an
Owner Participant or otherwise controls the related Owner Trustee. (Base
Indentures, Section 8.4; Leases, Article 42)
 
  Each Indenture provides that the Indenture Trustee must, within 30 days
after any event resulting in the occurrence of an Indenture Default or any
event that would, with notice or the passage of time or both, be an Indenture
Default, known by it, give notice thereof to the holders of the Mortgage Notes
issued thereunder. (Base Indentures, Section 5.10)
 
  The holders of not less than a majority in aggregate unpaid principal amount
of the outstanding Mortgage Notes issued under any Indenture may direct the
Indenture Trustee thereunder, on behalf of all holders, to waive any past
default under such Indenture except a default in the payment of the principal,
premium, if any, or interest on or other amounts due under any such Mortgage
Note or a default in respect of any covenant or provision of such Indenture
that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each holder of a
Mortgage Note. (Base Indentures, Section 8.3)
 
REMEDIES
 
  Upon the occurrence of an Indenture Default resulting from the bankruptcy,
insolvency or reorganization of the related Owner Trustee, or a Lease Event of
Default resulting from the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of Kmart,
the unpaid principal amount of the Mortgage Notes issued under such Indenture,
together with interest accrued but unpaid thereon without premium, and all
other amounts due thereunder and under such Indenture, shall become due and
payable. Upon the occurrence of any other Indenture Default, the Indenture
Trustee may, or when instructed by the holders of at least 25% of the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Notes issued under such
Indenture shall, declare the principal of all the Mortgage Notes outstanding
under such Indenture, together with the interest accrued but unpaid thereon,
but without premium, and all other amounts due thereunder and under such
Indenture, immediately due and payable. (Base Indentures, Section 8.2)
 
  The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of outstanding
Mortgage Notes under an Indenture may rescind any declaration of acceleration
by the Indenture Trustee, whether made on its own accord or as directed by
holders of such Mortgage Notes, at any time prior to the sale of all or part
of the related Indenture Estate if (i) there has been paid or deposited with
the Indenture Trustee an amount sufficient to pay (a) all overdue installments
of interest on all such Mortgage Notes, (b) the principal of and premium,
 
                                      31
<PAGE>
 
if any, on any Mortgage Notes that has become due otherwise than by such
declaration, and interest thereon as provided therein, and (c) to the extent
permitted by law, interest on overdue installments of interest and (ii) all
Indenture Defaults under such Indenture, other than the non-payment of
principal that has become due solely because of such acceleration, have been
cured or waived. Such rescission will be binding upon all holders of the
Mortgage Notes, but no such rescission will affect any subsequent default or
impair any right or remedy consequent thereon. (Base Indentures, Section
8.2(c))
 
  If an Indenture Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee
may, and upon the written request of the holders of not less than a majority in
aggregate unpaid principal amount of the related outstanding Mortgage Notes
shall, subject to the condition described below and the related Owner Trustee's
rights to cure such Indenture Default or to redeem or purchase such Mortgage
Notes, exercise certain rights and remedies available to it under the related
Lease, such Indenture and applicable law, including the right to (a) take
possession of the related Indenture Estate, either directly or through an agent
or court appointed receiver, and exclude such Owner Trustee and Kmart, (b)
foreclose on the Indenture Estate and (c) enforce any security interests in
personal property; provided that the Indenture Trustee may not exercise any
remedy against the Indenture Estate seeking to deprive such Owner Trustee of
its interests therein unless a declaration of acceleration of such Mortgage
Notes has been delivered to such Owner Trustee and to Kmart. (Supplemental
Indentures, Section 2.1) See "Description of the Leases--Remedies".
 
  In connection with an Indenture Default that arises solely by reason of a
Lease Event of Default, the Indenture Trustee may not foreclose the lien of
such Indenture or exercise any of its rights and remedies under the related
Indenture that would result in the exclusion of the related Owner Trustee from
the Indenture Estate or any substantial part thereof demised under the related
Lease unless (a) the Indenture Trustee shall have exercised or shall be
concurrently exercising remedies under such Lease involving termination of such
Lease or of Kmart's right to possession thereunder or (b) such Lease Event of
Default shall have continued for a period of at least 270 days and a stay
prohibiting the exercise of such remedies shall be in effect as of the
expiration of such 270-day period. (Supplemental Indentures, Section 2.1(a))
 
  So long as no Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
Kmart is entitled to undisturbed possession of the Property subject to the
related Lease, even if an Indenture Default has occurred and is continuing
under the related Indenture. (Supplemental Indentures, Section 2.7) Because
each Indenture provides for certain Indenture Defaults that are not caused by a
Lease Event of Default under the related Lease, there are circumstances in
which the Mortgage Notes issued with respect to a Property may be accelerated
even if no default exists under the related Lease. In such case,
notwithstanding any acceleration, Kmart would not be obligated to pay more than
the amounts of rent required to be paid periodically under the Lease.
 
  The holders of a majority in aggregate unpaid principal amount of Mortgage
Notes outstanding under any Indenture shall have the right to direct the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Indenture Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture
Trustee; provided that such direction does not conflict with applicable law or
with the rights of the Owner Trustee under such Indenture; and provided further
that the Indenture Trustee may take any other action it deems proper that is
not inconsistent with such direction. (Supplemental Indentures, Section 2.4)
 
  If an Indenture Default under any Indenture occurs and is continuing, any
sums held or received by the Indenture Trustee (other than Excepted Payments)
may be applied to reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all amounts then due to
it under such Indenture prior to any payments to holders of the Mortgage Notes
issued under such Indenture. (Base Indentures, Section 4.3)
 
  In the event of a bankruptcy of any Owner Participant, it is possible that,
notwithstanding that such Owner Participant's interest in each Property is
owned by the applicable Owner Trustee in trust, the related Leases, Owner
Trustee and Mortgage Notes might become affected by the bankruptcy proceedings.
In such event, payments under such Leases or on such Mortgage Notes might be
interrupted and the ability of the
 
                                       32
<PAGE>
 
Indenture Trustee to exercise its remedies under the related Indentures might
be restricted, although the Indenture Trustee would retain its status as a
secured creditor in respect of the related Leases and Properties.
 
POSSIBLE RECHARACTERIZATION OF THE LEASES AS LOANS FOR CERTAIN STATE LAW
PURPOSES
 
  For federal and state income tax and accounting purposes, it is the intention
and belief of Kmart that each leveraged lease transaction entered into by Kmart
constitutes a "true lease". In this regard, Kmart has agreed not to take or
omit to take any action during the Lease term inconsistent with "true lease"
classification under state law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in an action
involving the enforcement of any Lease, a court might determine that the
related leveraged lease transaction entered into by Kmart was actually a loan,
and accordingly that the conveyance by Kmart to the related Owner Trustee
constitutes an equitable mortgage of the related Property. Under such
circumstances, the related Owner Trustee would be considered a secured lender
to Kmart for purposes of enforcing state law landlord remedies, and the
Indenture Trustee would be considered a lender to such Owner Trustee holding an
assignment of the security. Consequently, to enforce Kmart's payment
obligations under such Lease, the related Owner Trustee or the Indenture
Trustee would be required to comply with the procedural requirements of, and
would be subject to the legal limitations on recovery, if any, under, the laws
of the state in which the leased property is located that are applicable to a
lender seeking to recover the principal of a loan secured by real property. It
is unclear whether the mortgage interest deemed to be held by the Owner Trustee
in a recharacterized transaction would be deemed to be properly perfected and
thus enforceable against other third party creditors. If the mortgage interest
were deemed perfected, the Owner Trustee (and, by assignment, the Indenture
Trustee) would have a secured claim against Kmart. If such mortgage interest
were not deemed perfected, it could be defeated by other creditors or a trustee
in bankruptcy, in which event the Owner Trustee (and, by assignment, the
Indenture Trustee) would be limited to an unsecured claim against Kmart in an
amount at least equal to the principal of, and accrued interest on, the
outstanding related Mortgage Notes. In either event such secured or unsecured
claim would not be subject to the limitations on lessor damages imposed by
Section 502(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code. See "Description of the Leases--
Consequences of Kmart's Bankruptcy".
 
MODIFICATION OF INDENTURES AND OTHER DOCUMENTS
 
  The parties to the Leases, Participation Agreements, the Agreement and the
other Operative Documents (as defined in the Glossary) may grant consents
under, or modify, waive, amend or supplement certain provisions of such
Operative Documents without the consent of any holder of outstanding Mortgage
Notes, provided that no such modification, amendment, supplement, consent or
waiver shall, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding Mortgage
Note affected thereby, modify, amend or supplement, or give any consent in
respect of or waive any provision of any related Lease in any manner (i) as to
reduce the amounts payable by Kmart under the Leases, or change the time for
the payment thereof, so that such payments are less than the amounts necessary
to pay the principal of, Make-Whole Premium, if any, and interest on the
outstanding Mortgage Notes when due (whether at maturity, upon acceleration or
otherwise) or (ii) as would release Kmart from its obligation in respect of
payment of rent or any other amount payable under the Leases and intended to be
used to pay the principal of, Make-Whole Premium, if any, or interest on the
Mortgage Notes, in any manner inconsistent with clause (i) above. In addition,
without the consent of the Indenture Trustee given at the direction of the
holders of at least a majority of the outstanding related Mortgage Notes, the
Owner Trustee may not (except as it relates to certain indemnity or other
payment to the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant) agree to any amendment
to, waiver, discharge, supplement or termination of, or grant any consent
under, certain specified provisions of such Operative Documents, including
provisions of the Leases relating to (i) the permitted uses of the Properties;
(ii) certain conditions Kmart must satisfy in order to construct improvements
to any Property; (iii) the rights of Kmart upon the occurrence of an Event of
Loss or adversely affect or delay or decrease the amount of any redemption of
the Mortgage Notes; (iv) the events constituting Lease Events of Default; or
(v) the remedies available to the Owner Trustee upon the occurrence of a Lease
Event of Default, if, in general, such amendment, waiver, discharge,
supplement, termination or consent would materially adversely affects the
rights of the holders of the Mortgage Notes. (Supplemental Indentures, Granting
Clause)
 
                                       33

  Each Indenture contains provisions permitting the related Owner Trustee and
the Indenture Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the related Mortgage Notes, to add,
modify or eliminate any provision of such Indenture, except that, without the
consent of the holder of each Mortgage Note outstanding under such Indenture
affected thereby, no amendment or modification of such Indenture may (a) change
the stated maturity of the principal of, or any installment of interest on, or
the dates or circumstances of payment of Make-Whole Premium, if any, on, any
Mortgage Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the interest thereon
or any amount payable upon the redemption thereof, or change the circumstances
for redemption or change the place of payment where, or the coin or currency in
which, any Mortgage Note or the Make-Whole Premium, if any, or the interest
thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement
of any such payment of principal or interest on or after the stated maturity
thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the redemption date) or
such payment of Make-Whole Premium, if any, on or after the date such Make-
Whole Premium becomes due and payable or change the dates or the amounts of
payments to be made through installment payments; (b) permit the creation of
any lien prior to the lien of such Indenture with respect to any of the related
Indenture Estate or deprive the holder of any such Mortgage Note of the
security afforded by the lien of such Indenture except as may be required to
release property from the lien of such Indenture as expressly provided in such
Indenture; (c) terminate the related Lease, reduce the amounts payable under
such Lease or change the time for the payment thereof so that such payments are
less than the amounts necessary to pay when due the principal of, Make-Whole
Premium, if any, and interest on the outstanding Mortgage Notes; (d) reduce the
percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Mortgage Notes, the consent
of the holders of which is required for any such amendment, or the consent of
the holders of which is required for any waiver provided for in such Indenture;
or (e) modify the provisions of such Indenture governing amendments or waivers
thereunder except to increase the percentage of holders of Mortgage Notes
necessary to permit certain actions or to add provisions of such Indenture that
cannot be modified or waived without the consent of each holder of a Mortgage
Note affected thereby. (Base Indentures, Section 11.2)
 
  Each of the Owner Trustees and the Indenture Trustee will agree in the
Participation Agreements (i) to comply with the provisions of the related
Indenture, (ii) not to waive any provision of such Indenture requiring Kmart's
consent thereunder, and (iii) not to amend, supplement, waive or otherwise
modify any provision of such Indenture in such a manner as to adversely affect
the rights or increase the obligations of Kmart or the Owner Participant
without the prior written consent of such party. (Participation Agreements,
Section 17)
 
DISCHARGE OF LIEN
 
  Each Indenture will cease to be of further effect when, among other things,
(a) the principal of, Make-Whole Premium, if any, and interest on all
outstanding Mortgage Notes have been paid, (b) all Mortgage Notes issued
thereunder have been delivered to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation, or
(c) (i) all Mortgage Notes issued thereunder and not theretofore delivered to
the Indenture Trustee for cancellation will mature or are to be called for
redemption such that they will be due and payable within one year, and (ii)
there shall have been irrevocably deposited with the Indenture Trustee in trust
cash in an amount that will be sufficient to pay, or direct obligations of the
United States of America maturing in such amounts and at such times as will
ensure the availability of cash sufficient to pay, when due, the principal of,
Make-Whole Premium, if any, and interest on all such Mortgage Notes. (Base
Indentures, Section 3.1)
 
ASSUMPTION OF OBLIGATIONS BY KMART
 
  Upon exercise of the Termination Right or Kmart's acquisition of a Property
or the Owner Participant's interest in a Property following the exercise of the
Competitor Option, Kmart may elect to exchange the Mortgage Notes related to
such Property for secured, full recourse securities of Kmart to be issued under
a restated indenture, provided that, in addition to the satisfaction of other
conditions, prior to such assumption, Kmart shall have delivered to the
Indenture Trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that such assumption will
not (i) cause any Pass Through Trust holding any such Mortgage Notes to become
an "investment
 
                                       34
<PAGE>
 
company" as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (ii)
cause any holder of any such Mortgage Notes to recognize income, gain or loss
for tax purposes in connection with such assumption or (iii) cause any adverse
tax consequences as to holders of the Mortgage Notes or to the
Certificateholders, and in connection therewith shall execute a restated
indenture (such restated indenture, the "Company Indenture"). See "Description
of the Leases--Obsolescence Termination" and "--The Participation Agreements".
Such Property will thereafter be subject to the lien of the Company Indenture,
and the Company Indenture will be reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture
Trustee and will incorporate certain relevant provisions of the Lease so
terminated, including (among others) provisions relating to maintenance,
possession and use of such Property, liens, insurance and events of default.
(Base Indentures, Section 7.1)
 
                           DESCRIPTION OF THE LEASES
 
  The statements under this caption are summaries of the terms of the Leases
and do not purport to be complete. The summaries make use of terms defined in
and are qualified in their entirety by reference to all of the provisions of
each Lease, the form of which has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement of which this Prospectus is a part. Except as otherwise indicated,
the following summaries relate to each of the Leases securing the related
Mortgage Notes. Citations to the relevant sections of the Leases and
Participation Agreements appear below in parentheses.
 
TERM AND RENT
 
  Each Owner Trustee will lease each Property to Kmart pursuant to a Lease for
an interim term and a subsequent base term commencing January 2, 1996 which
together total 25 years. (Leases, Article 2) Rents are required to be paid by
Kmart under the Leases in immediately available funds on each January 2 and
July 2, commencing January 2, 1996 (the "Rent Payment Dates"). On each Rent
Payment Date, the aggregate amount of rents payable under each Lease will be at
least equal to the aggregate scheduled amount of principal and interest due on
the outstanding Mortgage Notes issued under the related Indenture on such date.
(Leases, Article 3(d)) Kmart's obligation to pay rent is absolute and
unconditional, and, with certain limited exceptions, payments of rent under the
Leases are to be made without notice, demand, counterclaim, setoff, deduction,
defense, abatement, or reduction. (Leases, Article 4)
 
NET LEASES; MAINTENANCE
 
  The obligations of Kmart under each Lease are those of a lessee under a "net
lease". Accordingly, Kmart will be obligated under each Lease to pay the real
estate taxes attributable to the related Property as well as the Land related
thereto as well as all other costs and expenses of operating and maintaining
the related Property. (Leases, Articles 6, 9 and 11)
 
  Each Lease requires Kmart to maintain the related Property in good repair and
condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, consistent with the standard of
maintenance employed by Kmart as of the date of the Lease with respect to
similar properties owned or leased by Kmart and located in the general
geographic area where the Property is located, and in compliance with
applicable laws and health and safety standards. (Leases, Article 9)
 
USE; NO CONTINUOUS OPERATION
 
  Each Property may be used for any lawful purpose; provided that no use of any
Property may be made that would: (i) be a public nuisance; (ii) cause such
Property to become a "tax-exempt use property" within the meaning of Section
168(h) of the Code, or any successor statute thereto, or to become a "tax-
exempt bond financed property" within the meaning of Section 168(g)(5) of the
Code; (iii) void any certificate of occupancy required for such Property; (iv)
cancel or make it commercially unreasonable to obtain the issuance of any
insurance policy required for such Property by the related Lease; or (v)
increase the related Owner Trust's risk of environmental liability. (Leases,
Article 17)
 
                                       35
<PAGE>
 
  Kmart is not obligated under any Lease to operate a business at the related
Property, except as required by law or by other agreement binding on such
Property. (Leases, Article 5)
 
ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONAL CONSTRUCTION
 
  So long as no Material Default or Lease Event of Default (each as defined
under "--Events of Default") under a Lease shall have occurred and be
continuing, Kmart may, at its own expense, make alterations and additions to
the related Improvements and erect or construct additional buildings or
structures on the related Property ("Alterations"), provided that such
Alterations shall not diminish the fair market value or remaining useful life
of such Property or increase the risk of environmental liability with respect
to such Property and that such Property shall not, as a result of the
Alterations, be characterized as "limited use property". In connection with any
alterations, additions or erection of additional improvements, Kmart shall
perform and complete all work in a first-class, workmanlike manner in
compliance with applicable laws. Kmart shall also have the right, with the
applicable Owner Trustee's consent, to demolish the Improvements with respect
to a particular Property in their entirety, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld if such Improvements are replaced within 18 months with a
building of at least equivalent fair market value and remaining useful life and
that at the time of such demolition (i) the long-term senior unsecured debt
securities of Kmart shall be rated investment grade by at least two nationally
recognized statistical rating organizations and (ii) Kmart shall then meet the
Net Worth Standard (as defined in "--Insurance"). All Alterations shall be and
remain the property of the related Owner Trustee subject to all of the terms
and provisions of the related Lease. (Leases, Article 10) All trade fixtures
and furniture installed at the expense of Kmart shall remain the property of
Kmart, not subject to the lien of the related Indenture. (Leases, Article 27)
 
  Each Owner Trustee names Kmart as its attorney-in-fact, subject to certain
limitations and conditions, to grant easements, release existing easements,
make dedications, execute annexation petitions and amend covenants and
restrictions in respect of any Property that do not impair the usefulness of
such Property for the purposes contemplated and permitted by the related Lease,
or reduce the fair market value or remaining useful life of such Property and
shall not cause such Property to be characterized as "limited use property" for
certain federal income tax purposes. (Leases, Article 13)
 
LIENS
 
  Under each Lease, Kmart, as lessee, covenants that it shall not, during the
term of such Lease, directly or indirectly create, incur, assume, suffer or
permit any lien or encumbrance on or with respect to the related Property or
any part thereof, any rent, title thereto or interest therein, up to and
including the date of the end of the term of such Lease, other than certain
permitted liens. Kmart shall promptly, but no later than 30 days after the
attachment thereof, at its own expense, discharge, eliminate or bond in a
manner satisfactory to the related Owner Trustee any lien that is not a
permitted lien. (Leases, Article 19)
 
ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLEASING
 
  Under each Lease, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions and so long as
no Lease Event of Default or Material Default thereunder shall have occurred
and be continuing, Kmart may assign its right, title and interest to and under
such Lease to any person, provided that any assignment shall be expressly
subordinate to the related Lease. Notwithstanding any such assignment, Kmart
will remain primarily liable for the performance of its obligations under such
Lease. (Leases, Article 17)
 
  With respect to each Property, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions
and so long as no Lease Event of Default or Material Default with respect
thereto shall have occurred and be continuing, Kmart has the right to sublease
all or any portion of such Property to any person, provided that any sublease
shall be expressly subordinate to the related Lease. No sublease may extend
beyond the end of the term of the applicable Lease. Notwithstanding any such
sublease, Kmart will remain primarily liable for the performance of its
obligations under the related Lease. (Leases, Article 17)
 
                                       36
<PAGE>
 
INSURANCE
 
  Under each Lease, Kmart is required, at its own cost and expense, to carry
insurance against loss by fire and other casualties included under extended-
coverage, all-risk endorsements, in an amount not less than 100% of the full
insurable replacement value of the Improvements constituting part of the
Property, comprehensive general liability insurance with minimum coverage of
$5,000,000 with respect to injury of any one person, $5,000,000 with respect to
any one accident or disaster and $5,000,000 with respect to damage to property,
and such additional coverages as may be required under any of the Operative
Documents. In no event shall the deductible amount under such casualty
insurance policies exceed $250,000. In any event, Kmart shall maintain
insurance on the Properties as maintained by Kmart with respect to similar
properties owned or leased by Kmart and located in the general geographic area
where the related Property is located. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Kmart may
elect to self-insure any Property against casualty, workers' compensation and
liability risks; provided that Kmart maintains a consolidated tangible net
worth of at least $1,000,000,000 calculated in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, subject to certain adjustments (the "Net Worth
Standard"). (Leases, Articles 7 and 14)
 
CONDEMNATION AND CASUALTY
 
  In the event of a total or substantial casualty to the Improvements
comprising a portion of any Property, Kmart may elect to terminate the related
Lease. In the event of a permanent or temporary condemnation of a Property or
such portion thereof that either, in Kmart's judgement, renders the Property
unsuitable for its intended use or materially impairs the points of ingress and
egress to the Property (any such event, or any total or substantial casualty
described in the preceding sentence, an "Event of Loss"), Kmart is obligated to
terminate the related Lease. If Kmart elects or is obligated to terminate the
related Lease, it shall be obligated to make a rejectable offer to purchase the
related Property for an amount at least equal to the outstanding principal and
accrued but unpaid interest on the related Mortgage Notes. The applicable Owner
Trustee may not reject such offer unless it deposits with the Indenture Trustee
amounts sufficient to pay the outstanding principal of the related Mortgage 
Notes. (Leases, Articles 14, 15 and 40)
 
  If following a casualty or condemnation to any Property, Kmart does not or is
not entitled to terminate the related Lease, Kmart will be obligated to restore
such Property at its own expense as nearly as practicable to the condition that
existed immediately prior to such casualty or condemnation. Kmart is obligated
to complete such restoration prior to the expiration of the term of the related
Lease or as soon as possible following the termination of such Lease. If Kmart
meets the Net Worth Standard at the time of the condemnation or casualty, or if
insurance proceeds or a condemnation award due to such occurrence are less than
$250,000 and no Material Default or Lease Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, any such insurance proceeds or condemnation awards shall be payable
to Kmart for restoration and repair of the Property. If Kmart does not meet the
Net Worth Standard at the time of such loss, and if such condemnation award or
casualty proceeds are in excess of $250,000, however, the net proceeds of such
insurance claim or condemnation award shall, if the related Indenture is
outstanding, be deposited with the Indenture Trustee and shall be disbursed to
Kmart upon progress of completion of restoration, repair, replacement or
rebuilding, subject to certain provisions set forth in the related Lease. In
the event that condemnation proceeds exceed the actual cost of restoration, the
Indenture Trustee shall have the right to retain the excess proceeds and apply
the same in accordance with the related Indenture. (Leases, Articles 14, 15 and
16)
 
OBSOLESCENCE TERMINATION
 
  At any time following the seventh anniversary of the commencement of the
interim term of the Lease and provided that no Lease Event of Default or
Material Default has occurred and is continuing, Kmart may terminate any Lease
if it determines that the related Property has become obsolete, is no longer
economic for Kmart's use or surplus to Kmart's needs. In such event, such
Property may be (i) transferred to Kmart for an amount sufficient to redeem the
related Mortgage Notes (including the Make-Whole Premium, if any, thereon),
(ii) sold to a third party, with any difference between the amount specified in
clause (i) and the net
 
                                       37
<PAGE>
 
sale price being paid by Kmart or (iii) retained by the related Owner Trustee,
provided that such Owner Trustee shall not be entitled to retain the Property
unless it deposits with the Indenture Trustee cash or cash equivalents in an
amount sufficient for the redemption of the related Mortgage Notes (exclusive
of accrued interest thereon and the Make-Whole Premium, if any) which amounts
will be paid by Kmart on the applicable redemption date). The foregoing
notwithstanding, under certain circumstances, Kmart may elect to exchange the
related Mortgage Notes for secured, full recourse securities of Kmart to be
issued under a restated indenture upon the exercise of the Termination Right
with respect to such Property and the transfer of such Property to Kmart, in
which case such Mortgage Notes would not be redeemed. See "Description of the
Mortgage Notes--Assumption of Obligations by Kmart". (Base Indentures, Section
7.1; Leases, Article 39) Kmart may also elect under certain circumstances to
substitute another property for the Property subject to the related Lease.
(Leases, Article 41) See "--Substitution".
 
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
 
  Events of default under each Lease ("Lease Events of Default") include the
following:
 
    (i)the failure by Kmart to pay any installment of Basic Rent or any
  amount of Additional Rent constituting Termination Value or amounts in
  respect of the Make-Whole Premium, if any, within five days after the same
  is due if the Owner Trustee has given Kmart notice of such due date before
  such due date, or within ten days of the due date if the Owner Trustee
  does not deliver such notice;
 
    (ii)the failure by Kmart to make any payment constituting Additional
  Rent (other than amounts of Additional Rent described in clause (i) above)
  within 15 days after notice to Kmart of non-payment;
 
    (iii)the failure by Kmart to maintain insurance as required by the Lease
  or any other Operative Document;
 
    (iv)the failure by Kmart to perform any of its other covenants or
  obligations under the Lease or any of the other Operative Documents (other
  than the Tax Indemnification Agreement (as defined in such Lease)) within
  30 days after notice thereof; provided that any non-monetary default that
  is curable but is not susceptible to a cure within 30 days shall not be
  deemed a default if a cure is commenced within 30 days after such notice
  and is diligently pursued thereafter; and provided further that in no
  event shall such cure period for a non-monetary default exceed 180 days;
 
    (v)certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization pursuant to
  bankruptcy or similar laws, receivership, dissolution or liquidation of
  Kmart; and
 
    (vi)any representation or warranty by Kmart in such Lease or any of the
  other Operative Documents (other than the Tax Indemnification Agreement)
  or in any certificate expressly required to be delivered pursuant thereto
  shall have been false or incorrect when made in any respect material to
  the related Owner Trustee or Owner Participant and such falseness or
  incorrectness is material to such Owner Trustee or Owner Participant and
  continues to be material, and shall not have been cured within 30 days
  after receipt of written notice by Kmart from such Owner Trustee, unless
  the default is curable and Kmart shall be diligently proceeding to correct
  such default; provided that in no event shall such cure period exceed 60
  days.
 
  For purposes of each Lease, a "Material Default" shall include an event of
the type described in clause (i) or (v) above that, with the passage of time or
the giving of notice, or both, would become a Lease Event of Default.
 
  To the extent that any failure by Kmart to perform any covenant or obligation
or any breach of a representation or a warranty relates solely to a Property or
Properties other than the Property subject to a particular Lease, such failure
or breach shall not give rise to a Lease Event of Default under such Lease.
(Leases, Article 20)
 
                                       38

REMEDIES
 
  If a Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to any
Lease, the related Owner Trustee may declare such Lease to be in default. Except
as provided below, and to the extent permitted by law, the related Owner Trustee
may at any time thereafter exercise one or more of the remedies set forth in the
Lease, including the right to terminate such Lease and repossess and use or
relet the related Property, to sell such Property or any part thereof, together
with any interest of such Owner Trustee in such Property free and clear of
Kmart's rights, and so long as such Property has not been sold, to require Kmart
to pay as liquidated damages, certain unpaid rent plus any one of the following
sums: (a) the difference between a stipulated termination value identified in
the related Lease (the "Termination Value") and the present value of the fair
market rental value of such Property, for the remainder of the term of such
Lease, such present value to be computed using a per annum rate equal to the
weighted average rate of interest per annum borne by the related Mortgage Notes
as of the closing date (the "Debt Rate"), discounted semiannually from the dates
such rent would be paid; (b) the difference between the present value computed
using a per annum rate equal to the Debt Rate of all rents, discounted
semiannually, for the remainder of the base or applicable renewal term of the
Lease (the "Discounted Basic Rents") and the present value computed using a per
annum rate equal to the Debt Rate of the fair market rental value of such
Property for the remainder of such term, discounted semiannually; (c) an amount
equal to such Property, the Discounted Basic Rents and the Termination Value; or
(d) the Termination Value of such Property and the fair market sales value of
such Property. If such Property has been sold, Kmart would be required to pay
the difference, if any, between the sale proceeds and Termination Value.
(Leases, Article 21) The Indenture Trustee, as assignee of the related Owner
Trustee under the related Indenture, may exercise the remedies of such Owner
Trustee under the related Lease.
 
SUBSTITUTION
 
  Under each Lease, so long as no Lease Event of Default or Material Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, Kmart may substitute another property
(the "Substitute Property") for the related Property (the "Substitution Right"),
either following an Event of Loss or, in the event that Kmart becomes obligated
to purchase such Property, following exercise by Kmart of the Termination Right.
Kmart may not substitute a Substitute Property for the related Property unless
it satisfies certain conditions with respect to the Substitute Property,
including but not limited to, (i) the fair market value and useful life of the
Substitute Property are not less than the fair market value and useful life of
the Property immediately prior to the event which gave rise to the substitution,
(ii) Kmart shall deliver an environmental assessment report, survey and title
search report, each of which shall be satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee and (iii) the substitution shall not reduce the amount or
timing of any rents due under such Lease. Kmart shall not be entitled to
substitute a Property unless (i) the long-term senior unsecured debt securities
of Kmart shall then be rated investment grade by at least two nationally
recognized statistical ratings organizations, and (ii) Kmart shall then meet the
Net Worth Standard. (Leases, Article 41)
 
THE PARTICIPATION AGREEMENTS
 
  Kmart is required to indemnify each Owner Participant, each Owner Trustee,
the Indenture Trustee, the Remainderman Participant, the Remainderman Trustee
and the Trustee for certain losses and claims and for certain other matters.
(Participation Agreements, Section 23) Subject to certain restrictions, each
Owner Participant may transfer its interest in the Properties. (Participation
Agreements, Section 2)
 
  If any Owner Participant becomes a competitor of Kmart during the term of the
related Leases, Kmart may exercise the Competitor Option (provided that no
Lease Event of Default or Material Default has occurred and is continuing under
such Leases) in which event such Owner Participant will have the right for a
90-day period to sell the related Properties or its interest in the related
Properties to a transferee other than Kmart or its affiliates, and if such
transfer occurs during the 90-day period, the related Mortgage Notes will not
be redeemed. If a transfer by such Owner Participant does not occur during the
90-day period, (i) the
 
                                       39
<PAGE>
 
related Properties may be (a) transferred to Kmart for an amount equal to the
Redemption Price, plus, if such transfer is made prior to the applicable
Premium Termination Date, a Make-Whole Premium, if any, plus any other amounts
that Kmart owes to such Owner Participant and Owner Trustee or (b) sold to a
third party, with the excess of the Redemption Price, plus, if such transfer is
made prior to the applicable Premium Termination Date, a Make-Whole Premium, if
any, plus any other amounts that Kmart owes to such Owner Participant and Owner
Trustee over the net sale price being contributed by Kmart; or (ii) the Owner
Participant's interest in the related Properties may be (a) transferred to a
third party, in which case the related Mortgage Notes will not be redeemed, or
(b) transferred to Kmart for an amount equal to the Redemption Price, plus, if
such transfer is made prior to the applicable Premium Termination Date, a Make-
Whole Premium, if any, plus any other amounts that Kmart owes to the related
Owner Participant and Owner Trustee. Under certain conditions Kmart may elect
to purchase the related Properties or the related Owner Participant's interest
therein subject to the lien of the Indenture, and assume, in accordance with
and subject to the terms of the Indenture, personal liability for the payment
of the related Mortgage Notes and in such event such Mortgage Notes will not be
redeemed. (Base Indentures, Section 6.1; Participation Agreements, Section 3)
 
CONSEQUENCES OF KMART'S BANKRUPTCY
 
  If Kmart were to become a debtor in a bankruptcy proceeding under the
Bankruptcy Code, Kmart or its bankruptcy trustee could seek to reject any or
all of the Leases. If the bankruptcy court treated any Lease as a true lease
and approved the rejection of such Lease, such rejection would constitute a
breach of such Lease and, as provided in applicable non-bankruptcy law, deprive
Kmart of the use and possession of the related Property. If any Lease were
rejected, rental payments thereunder would terminate, thereby leaving the
related Owner Trustee (and by virtue of the assignment effected by the
Indentures, the Indenture Trustee) without regular rent payments and with a
claim for damages as a source of payment of amounts due under the Mortgage
Notes issued in respect of the Property leased pursuant to the rejected Lease.
Under section 502(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code, a claim by a lessor for damages
resulting from the rejection by a debtor of a lease of real property is limited
to an amount equal to the rent reserved under the lease, without acceleration,
for the greater of one year or 15 percent (but not more than three years) of
the remaining term of the lease, plus rent already due but unpaid. There can be
no assurance that any such claim for damages would be sufficient to provide for
the repayment of the Mortgage Notes issued under the Indenture related to such
Lease. Regardless of any limitation of damages pursuant to section 502(b)(6) of
the Bankruptcy Code, the Indenture Trustee under the related Indenture could
also seek to foreclose upon its lien and security interest in the related
Property under applicable state law, which lien and security interest would not
be affected by rejection of the related Lease, and apply the proceeds of any
foreclosure sale to any amounts unpaid with respect to the related Mortgage
Notes.

                    CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
 
  In the opinion of Dickinson, Wright, Moon, Van Dusen & Freeman, counsel to
Kmart, the following discussion accurately describes the material federal
income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of Certificates. This
discussion is based on laws, regulations, rulings and decisions now in effect,
all of which are subject to change or different interpretation. Moreover,
certain of the anticipated federal income tax consequences discussed herein are
based on regulations of the Treasury Department ("Treasury Regulations") which
are proposed and subject to change and which are not binding authority until
adopted as final or temporary Treasury Regulations. As a result, definitive
guidance cannot be provided regarding all of the federal income tax
consequences to Certificateholders or to the Pass Through Trusts. In addition,
there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service or the courts would
not take positions different from those discussed herein and which positions
could be materially adverse to Certificateholders. Investors should consult
their own tax advisors in determining the federal, state, local, foreign and
any other tax consequences to them of the purchase, ownership, redemption
and/or disposition of the Certificates, including the advisability of making
any elections discussed herein. This discussion does not purport to address
federal income tax consequences applicable to particular categories of
investors some of which (for example, insurance companies and foreign
investors) may be subject to special rules.
 
  PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS IN DETERMINING
THE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND ANY OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE
PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF CERTIFICATES, INCLUDING THE ADVISABILITY
OF MAKING ANY ELECTION DISCUSSED BELOW.
 
  The Pass Through Trusts will not be indemnified for any federal income taxes
that may be imposed upon them, and the imposition of any such taxes could
result in a reduction in the amounts available for distribution to the holders
of Certificates evidencing interests in the affected Pass Through Trust.
 
GENERAL
 
  Based upon an interpretation of analogous authorities under currently
applicable law, the Pass Through Trusts created by the Agreements will not be
classified as associations taxable as corporations, but, rather will be
classified as grantor trusts under Subpart E, Part 1, Subchapter J of Chapter 1
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Each
Certificateholder will be treated as the owner of a pro rata undivided interest
in each of the Mortgage Notes or any other property held in the Pass Through
Trust in which the Certificate held by such holder evidences an interest.
 
  In reaching the conclusion that each of the Pass Through Trusts will be
classified as a grantor trust, counsel considered whether the Pass Through
Trusts could be recharacterized as "taxable mortgage pools" which are treated
as corporations for federal income tax purposes. Generally, an entity is
classified as a "taxable mortgage pool" only if, among other requirements, the
entity is the obligor on debt obligations (or equity interests with terms
similar to debt obligations) with two or more maturities. Because each Pass
Through Trust will issue only one class of beneficial interest having only one
maturity date, the Pass Through Trusts could be treated as "taxable mortgage
pools" only if the two Pass Through Trusts were integrated (i.e., treated as
one trust). While there is no authority directly on point, in rendering its
opinion that the Pass Through Trusts will be treated as grantor trusts, counsel
concluded that the Pass Through Trusts should be respected as separate
entities, in part, because (i) each Pass Through Trust will own separate
assets, (ii) each Pass Through Trust will have separate independent Trustees,
(iii) each Pass Through Trust will have separate sets of Certificateholders and
(iv) each Pass Through Trust will have independent economic substance. Proposed
Treasury Regulations under section 7701(i) of the Code provide that for
purposes of applying the taxable mortgage pool rules, ownership interests in
entities that are classified as "investment trusts" under the rules of Treasury
Regulations section 301.7701-4(c) will not be treated as debt obligations of
such trusts. Since each Pass Through Trust is expected to be classified as an
"investment trust" under such Treasury
 
                                       41
<PAGE>
 
Regulations, the Proposed Treasury Regulations would confirm that the taxable
mortgage pool rules should not apply to the Pass Through Trusts.
 
  Each Certificateholder, in accordance with its method of accounting, will be
required to report on its federal income tax return its pro rata share of the
interest and other income from the Mortgage Notes or any other property held in
the related Pass Through Trust and may, subject to applicable Code limitations
on deductions, deduct its pro rata share of the deductible expenses of the
related Pass Through Trust, at the same time and to the same extent as if it
held directly a pro rata interest in the assets of the Pass Through Trust and
received and paid directly the amounts received and paid by the Pass Through
Trust. A Certificateholder who is an individual, trust or estate will be
allowed a deduction for certain itemized deductions only to the extent they
exceed, in the aggregate, 2% of the Certificateholder's adjusted gross income
and such amounts will not be deductible in computing such taxpayer's
alternative minimum tax liability if any.
 
  A purchaser of a Certificate will be treated as purchasing an interest in
each Mortgage Note and any other property in the related Pass Through Trust at
a price determined by allocating the purchase price paid for the Certificate
among such Mortgage Notes and other property in proportion to their fair market
values at the time of purchase of the Certificate.
 
SALES OF CERTIFICATES
 
  A Certificateholder that sells a Certificate will recognize gain or loss (in
the aggregate) equal to the difference between its adjusted tax basis in the
Certificate and the amount realized on the sale (except to the extent
attributable to accrued interest, which should be taxable as interest income).
Subject to the market discount provisions of the Code (described below), any
such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss if the Certificate was held as a
capital asset and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the Certificate was
held for more than one year.
 
MARKET DISCOUNT
 
  A purchaser of a Certificate subsequent to its original issue will be
considered to have acquired an interest in a Mortgage Note at a "market
discount" to the extent the remaining principal amount of the Mortgage Note
allocable to the Certificate exceeds the Certificateholder's tax basis
allocable to such Mortgage Note, unless the excess does not exceed a prescribed
de minimis amount. In the event such excess exceeds the de minimis amount, the
Certificateholder will be subject to the market discount rules of sections 1276
to 1278 of the Code with regard to its interest in the Mortgage Note.
 
  In the case of a sale or certain other disposition of indebtedness subject to
the market discount rules, section 1276 of the Code requires that gain, if any,
from such sale or disposition be treated as ordinary income to the extent such
gain does not exceed the market discount that has accrued on such indebtedness
during the period in which it was held.
 
  In the case of a partial principal payment on indebtedness subject to the
market discount rules, section 1276 of the Code requires that such payment be
included in gross income as ordinary income to the extent such payment does not
exceed the market discount that has accrued on such indebtedness during the
period in which it was held. The amount of any accrued discount later required
to be included in income upon a disposition, or a subsequent partial principal
payment, will be reduced by the amount of such partial principal payment
previously included in income.
 
  Generally, market discount accrues under a straight line method, or, at the
election of the taxpayer, a constant interest method. However, in the case of
installment obligations (such as the Mortgage Notes), the manner in which
market discount is to be accrued has been left to Treasury Regulations not yet
issued. Until such Treasury Regulations are issued, the Conference Report
indicates that holders of installment obligations
 
                                       42
<PAGE>
 
with market discount may elect to accrue market discount either on the basis of
a constant interest rate or (assuming the installment obligation was issued
without original issue discount) as follows: the amount of market discount that
is deemed to accrue is the amount of market discount that bears the same ratio
to the total amount of market discount remaining that the amount of stated
interest paid in the accrual period bears to the total amount of stated
interest remaining to be paid on the installment obligation as of the beginning
of such period.
 
  Under section 1277 of the Code, if in any taxable year interest paid or
accrued on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry market
discount indebtedness exceeds the interest currently includible in income with
respect to such market discount indebtedness, deduction of such excess interest
must be deferred to the extent of the market discount allocable to the portion
of the taxable year in which such market discount indebtedness was held by the
taxpayer. The deferred portion of such interest will generally be deductible
when such market discount is included in income upon the sale or other
disposition (including repayment) of the indebtedness.
 
  Section 1278 of the Code allows a taxpayer to make an election to include
market discount in gross income currently. If such election is made, the rules
of sections 1276 and 1277 (described above) will not apply to the taxpayer.
Such an election shall apply to all debt instruments with market discount
acquired by the taxpayer on or after the first day of the first taxable year to
which the election applies. The election shall apply to all subsequent taxable
years and may not be revoked without the consent of the Secretary of Treasury.
 
PREMIUM
 
  A Certificateholder will generally be considered to have acquired an interest
in a Mortgage Note at a premium to the extent the purchaser's tax basis
allocable to such interest exceeds the remaining principal amount of the
Mortgage Note allocable to such interest. In that event, a Certificateholder
that holds a Certificate as a capital asset may elect to amortize that premium
as an offset to interest income under section 171 of the Code with
corresponding reductions in the Certificateholder's tax basis in that Mortgage
Note. Generally, such amortization is on a constant yield basis. However, in
the case of installment obligations (such as the Mortgage Notes), the
Conference Report indicates a Congressional intent that amortization be in
accordance with the rules that apply to the accrual of market discount on
installment obligations. See "--Market Discount". Such an election shall apply
to all debt instruments with amortizable bond premium (other than debt
instruments the interest on which is excludible from gross income) held by the
Certificateholder as of the beginning of the taxable year for which the
election applies or thereafter acquired. The election will apply to all
subsequent taxable years, and may not be revoked without the consent of the
Secretary of the Treasury.
 
  Since the Mortgage Notes may be redeemed at a premium prior to maturity,
amortizable bond premium may be determined by reference to an early redemption
date if this results in a smaller premium attributable to the period before the
redemption date. Due to the complexities of the amortizable premium rules,
particularly where there is more than one possible redemption date and the
amount of any premium is uncertain, Certificateholders are urged to consult
their own tax advisors as to the amount of any such amortizable premium.
 
ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT
 
  Generally, a holder of a debt instrument issued with original issue discount
that is not de minimis must include original issue discount in income for
federal income tax purposes as it accrues, in advance of the receipt of the
cash attributable to such income, using a method that takes into account the
compounding of interest. It is anticipated that the Mortgage Notes will not be
issued with original issue discount.

BACKUP WITHHOLDING
 
  Payments made on the Certificates, and proceeds from the sale of the
Certificates to or through certain brokers, may be subject to a "backup"
withholding tax of 31% unless the Certificateholder complies with certain
reporting procedures or is an exempt recipient under section 6049(b)(4) of the
Code. Any such withheld amount will be allowed as a credit against the
Certificateholder's federal income tax.
 
                           CERTAIN CONNECTICUT TAXES
 
  The Trustee is a national banking association with its principal corporate
trust office in Hartford, Connecticut. Shipman & Goodwin, special counsel to
the Trustee, has advised Kmart that, in its opinion, prior to a default and
under currently applicable law, assuming that the Pass Through Trusts will not
be taxable as corporations but, rather, will be treated as investment trusts
which are classified as grantor trusts under subpart E, Part I of Subchapter J
of the Code, (i) the Pass Through Trusts will not be subject to any tax
(including, without limitation, net or gross income, tangible or intangible
property, net worth, capital, franchise or doing business tax), fee or other
governmental charge under the laws of the State of Connecticut or any political
subdivision thereof and (ii) Certificateholders who are not residents of or
otherwise subject to tax in Connecticut will not be subject to any tax
(including, without limitation, net or gross income, tangible or intangible
property, net worth, capital, franchise or doing business tax), fee or other
governmental charge under the laws of the State of Connecticut or any political
subdivision thereof solely as a result of purchasing, holding (including
receiving payments with respect to) or selling a Certificate. Neither the Pass
Through Trusts nor the Certificateholders will be indemnified for any state or
local taxes imposed on them, and the imposition of any such taxes on the Pass
Through Trusts could result in a reduction in the amounts available for
distribution to the Certificateholders. In general, should a Certificateholder
or the Pass Through Trusts be subject to any state or local tax which would not
be imposed if the Trustee were located in a different jurisdiction in the
United States, the Trustee will resign and a new Trustee in such other
jurisdiction will be appointed.
 
                              ERISA CONSIDERATIONS
 
  The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"),
and Section 4975 of the Code impose certain restrictions on covered employee
benefit plans, including corporate pension and profit sharing plans ("Plans"),
and on persons who are parties in interest or disqualified persons ("Parties in
Interest") with respect to such Plans. ERISA also imposes certain duties on
persons who are fiduciaries of Plans and prohibits non-exempt transactions
between a Plan and its Parties in Interest. Governmental plans and certain
church plans are not subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.
 
  Investments by Plans are subject to ERISA's general fiduciary requirements,
including the requirement of investment prudence and diversification and the
requirement that a Plan's investments be made in accordance with the documents
governing the Plan. Moreover, each Plan fiduciary should determine whether,
under the general fiduciary standards of investment prudence and
diversification, an investment in the Certificates is appropriate for the Plan,
taking into account the overall investment policy of the Plan and the
composition of the Plan's investment portfolio.
 
  Plan fiduciaries must also determine whether the acquisition and holding of
the Certificates and the operations of the Pass Through Trusts and the Owner
Trustees (collectively, the "Trust Funds") would result in direct or indirect
prohibited transactions. The operations of the Trust Funds could result in
prohibited transactions if Plans that purchase the Certificates are deemed to
own an interest in the underlying assets of one or more of the Pass Through
Trusts under the Plan Assets Regulation (as described below). There may also be
an improper delegation of the responsibility to manage Plan assets if Plans
that purchase the Certificates are deemed to own an interest in the underlying
assets of the Pass Through Trusts.
 
                                       44
<PAGE>
 
  The U.S. Department of Labor ("DOL") has issued a final regulation (29 C.F.R.
Section 2510.3-101) (the "Plan Assets Regulation") providing that, as a general
rule, the underlying assets and properties of corporations, partnerships,
trusts and certain other entities (other than operating companies) in which a
Plan makes an equity investment will be deemed for purposes of ERISA and
Section 4975 of the Code to be assets of the investing Plan, unless certain
exceptions apply. If the assets of the Pass Through Trusts were deemed to
constitute assets of the Plans holding Certificates, the persons providing
services with respect to the assets of the Pass Through Trusts may be subject
to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of Title I of ERISA, and
transactions involving such Pass Through Trust assets may be subject to the
prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code.
 
  Transactions involving the assets of the Pass Through Trusts, as well as
purchases and sales of the Certificates, however, may be exempt from the
prohibited transaction restrictions of ERISA and the Code under administrative
exemptions issued by the DOL or statutory exemptions. Among the administrative
class and statutory exemptions that may be available are: Prohibited
Transaction Class Exemption ("PTE") 75-1, which exempts certain securities
transactions involving employee benefit plans and certain broker-dealers and
banks; PTE 91-38, which exempts certain transactions between bank collective
investment funds and parties in interest; PTE 90-1, which exempts certain
transactions with insurance company pooled separate accounts; or PTE 84-14,
which exempts certain transactions effected on behalf of a plan by a "qualified
professional asset manager".
 
  Any Plan fiduciary which proposes to cause a Plan to purchase Certificates
should consult with its counsel with respect to the potential applicability of
ERISA and the Code (including the Plan Assets Regulation) to such investments,
whether any prohibited transaction exemptions would be applicable, and whether
all conditions of any potentially applicable prohibited transaction exemption
have been satisfied. Additionally, the Plan fiduciary should consult its
counsel with respect to any valuation issues which may be presented by an
investment in Certificates.

  The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the Underwriters
to pay for and accept delivery of the Certificates are subject to the approval
of certain legal matters by their counsel and certain other conditions. The
Underwriters are obligated to take and pay for all of the Certificates to be
purchased by them if any are taken.
 
  The Underwriters initially propose to offer all or part of the Certificates
directly to the public at the public offering price per Certificate designation
set forth on the cover page hereof and part to certain dealers at a price which
represents a concession not in excess of the percentage set forth below of the
public offering price of the Certificates. The Underwriters may allow, and such
dealers may reallow, a concession not in excess of the percentage set forth
below of the public offering price of the Certificates to certain other
dealers. After the initial public offering, the public offering prices and such
concessions and discounts may be changed.

  All secondary trading on the Certificates will settle in immediately
available funds. See "Description of the Certificates--Same-Day Settlement and
Payment".
 
  The Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.
 
  The Company does not intend to apply for listing of the Certificates on a
national securities exchange, but has been advised by the Underwriters that
they presently intend to make a market in the Certificates, as permitted by
applicable laws and regulations. The Underwriters are not obligated, however,
to make a market in the Certificates and any such market making may be
discontinued at any time at the sole discretion of the Underwriters.
Accordingly, no assurance can be given as to the liquidity of, or trading
markets for, the Certificates.
 
                                     RATING
 
  It is a condition to the issuance of the Certificates that they be rated at
least BBB by S&P and Baal by Moody's. The ratings will not address the receipt
of the Make-Whole Premium, if any, payable upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default.
 
  A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities,
may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating
agency, and should be evaluated independently of any other rating.

  Kmart will be the tenant under all of the Leases and, as such, may become the
ultimate source of payment on the Mortgage Notes and, therefore, the ultimate
source of payment on the Certificates. Because of this dependence upon Kmart
for the ultimate payment of the Certificates, the ratings on the Certificates
are directly related to the credit of Kmart. It should, therefore, be expected
that a reduction or withdrawal of the debt ratings of Kmart would adversely
affect the ratings on the Certificates.
 
                                 LEGAL OPINIONS
 
  The validity of the Certificates offered hereby will be passed upon for Kmart
by Dickinson, Wright, Moon, Van Dusen & Freeman, Detroit, Michigan, and for the
Underwriters by Shearman & Sterling, New York, New York. Both Dickinson,
Wright, Moon, Van Dusen & Freeman and Shearman & Sterling will rely on the
opinion of Shipman & Goodwin, special counsel for Shawmut Bank Connecticut,
National Association, as Trustee, as to certain matters relating to the
authorization, execution and delivery of the Certificates by, and the valid and
binding effect thereof on, such Trustee.
 
                                    EXPERTS
 
  The consolidated financial statements and schedules of Kmart appearing in or
incorporated by reference to the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Kmart for the
year ended January 25, 1995, have been so incorporated in reliance on the
report of Price Waterhouse LLP, independent accountants, given on the authority
of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
 
  The Registrant's By-Laws and the Michigan Business Corporation Act permit the
Registrant's officers and directors to be indemnified under certain
circumstances for expenses and, in some instances, for judgments, fines or
amounts paid in settlement of civil, criminal, administrative and investigative
suits or proceedings, including those involving alleged violations of the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"). In addition, the Registrant maintains
directors' and officers' liability insurance which, under certain
circumstances, would cover alleged violations of the Act. Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted to
officers and directors pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has
been informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. Therefore, in the event that a claim for such
indemnification is asserted by any officer or director the Registrant (except
insofar as such claim seeks reimbursement by the Registrant of expenses paid or
incurred by an officer or director in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) will, unless the matter has theretofore been adjudicated by
precedent deemed by the Registrant to be controlling, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether or not indemnification by it
is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
 
A. UNDERTAKING PURSUANT TO RULE 430A
 
  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:
 
  (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of
prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h)
under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration
statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
  (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
B. FILINGS INCORPORATING SUBSEQUENT EXCHANGE ACT DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE
 
  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall
be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

C. INDEMNIFICATION
 
  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 15 above, or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the Certificates
being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

$___________ aggregate principal amount of Pass Through Certificates, 1995-K3
and 1995-K4 (collectively, the "Certificates"), consisting of the principal
amount of Certificates with the interest rates and final distribution dates set
forth on Schedule A hereto, to the several underwriters named in Schedule A
hereto (the "Underwriters"), on the terms and conditions stated herein and in
Schedule A hereto.

          The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 33-______),
including a prospectus, relating to the Certificates.  The registration
statement as amended at the time it becomes effective, including the information

effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"), is hereinafter referred to as the Registration
Statement; the prospectus in the form first used to confirm sales of
Certificates is hereinafter referred to as the Prospectus.  As used herein, the
terms "Registration Statement", "Prospectus", and "preliminary prospectus" shall
include documents incorporated by reference therein.

          As used in this Agreement, capitalized terms not otherwise defined
shall have the meanings specified in the Pass Through Trust Agreements, or, if
not so defined therein, the meanings specified in each of the 18 Indentures
referred to in such Pass Through Trust Agreements.

          (a) Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and
     prior to the Closing Date,

               (i) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
          Registration Statement shall have been issued and no proceedings for
          that purpose shall have been instituted or, to the Company's
          knowledge, threatened by the Commission;

               (ii) there shall not have been any downgrading, nor any notice
          given of any intended or potential downgrading, in the rating accorded
          any of the Company's securities by any "nationally recognized
          statistical rating organization", as such term is defined for purposes
          of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Securities Act;

               (iii)  there shall not have occurred any change in the condition,
          financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business or operations, of
          the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, from that set
          forth in the Prospectus that, in your reasonable judgment, is material
          and adverse and that makes it, in your reasonable judgment,
          impracticable to market the Certificates on the terms and in the
          manner contemplated in the Prospectus; and

               (iv) there shall not have occurred any (A) suspension or material
          limitation of trading generally on or by, as the case may be, the New

          Certificates on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the
          Prospectus.

          (b) The Underwriters shall have received on the Closing Date, a

          otherwise, or in the earnings, business or operations, of the Company
          and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, from that set forth in the

          thereby.

               (iv) no consent, approval, authorization or order of or

               (viii)  such counsel (1) is of the opinion that the Registration
          Statement and Prospectus (except for financial statements and
          schedules included therein as to which such counsel need not express
          any opinion) comply as to form in all material respects with the
          Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission
          thereunder, (2) believes that (except for financial statements and
          schedules as to which such counsel need not express any belief and
          except for that part of the Registration Statement that constitutes
          the Form T-1 heretofore referred to) the Registration Statement and
          the prospectus included therein at the time the Registration Statement
          became effective did not contain any untrue statement of a material
          fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
          necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (3)
          believes that (except for financial statements and schedules as to
          which such counsel need not express any belief) the Prospectus as of
          its issue date and as of the Closing Date did not and does not contain
          any untrue statement of a material fact or did not and does not omit
          to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
          therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
          misleading; and

               (ix) each of the Incorporated Documents (except for financial
          statements and schedules as to which such counsel need not express any
          opinion) complied when so filed as to form in all material respects
          with the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the
          Commission thereunder.

          (e) You shall have received on the Closing Date an opinion of Shearman
     & Sterling, special counsel for the Underwriters, dated the Closing Date,

     Mortgage Notes", "Description of the Leases" and "Underwriting"), and (ix)
     of paragraph (d) above.

          With respect to subparagraphs (viii) and (ix) of paragraph (d) above,
Dickinson, Wright, Moon, Van Dusen & Freeman may state that their opinion and
belief are based upon their participation in the preparation of the Registration
Statement and Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto and the
Incorporated Documents and review and discussion of the contents thereof, but

the Registration Statement and Prospectus and any amendments or supplements
thereto (other than the Incorporated Documents) and review and discussion of the
contents thereof (including the Incorporated Documents), but are without
independent check or verification except as specified.

          The opinion of Dickinson, Wright, Moon, Van Dusen & Freeman described
in paragraph (d) above shall be rendered to you at the request of the Company
and shall so state therein.

          (f) You shall have received on the Closing Date an opinion, in form
     and substance satisfactory to you and to your counsel, of Shipman &
     Goodwin, counsel for Shawmut Bank Connecticut, National Association, dated
     the Closing Date, to the effect that:

               (i) the Pass Through Trustee is a national banking association
          duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of
          the United States, and has the full corporate power, authority and
          legal right under the laws of the United States pertaining to its
          banking, trust and fiduciary powers to execute and deliver each of the
          Operative Documents to which the Pass Through Trustee is a party, and
          to perform its obligations under such Operative Documents and to
          consummate the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents to
          which the Pass Through Trustee is a party and each such agreement
          constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Pass Through
          Trustee, enforceable against the Pass Through Trustee in accordance
          with its terms; and the Certificates have been validly issued and are
          entitled to the benefits of the respective Pass Through Trust
          Agreements;

               (ii) each of the Operative Documents to which the Pass Through
          Trustee is a party has been duly authorized, executed and/or
          authenticated, as the case may be, and delivered by the Pass Through
          Trustee;

               (iii)  the execution and delivery by the Pass Through Trustee of
          each of the Operative Documents to which the Pass Through Trustee is a
          party, and the performance by the Pass Through Trustee of its
          obligations under each of the Operative Documents to which the Pass
          Through Trustee is a party, do not and will not contravene any
          provision of the Articles of Association or by-laws of the Pass
          Through Trustee and do not and will not contravene, result in a
          violation or breach of, or constitute a default under, any law, rule
          or regulation of the State of Connecticut or any United States
          governmental authority or agency regulating the banking, trust or
          fiduciary powers of the Pass Through Trustee;
<PAGE>
 
                                       13

               (iv) neither the consent, approval, authorization or order of,
          qualification or filing with, or notice to, nor the taking of any
          other action in respect of, any governmental body or agency of the
          State of Connecticut or the United States regulating the banking,
          trust or fiduciary powers of the Pass Through Trustee is required for
          the execution and delivery by the Pass Through Trustee of each of the
          Operative Documents to which the Pass Through Trustee is a party, or
          for the performance by the Pass Through Trustee of its obligations
          under each of the  Operative Documents to which the Pass Through
          Trustee is a party; and

               (v) the statements in the Registration Statement and the
          Prospectus under the heading "Certain Connecticut Taxes", to the
          extent that they constitute matters of law or legal conclusions with
          respect thereto, regarding taxation by the State of Connecticut have
          been prepared or reviewed by such counsel and are correct in all
          material respects.
               
          (g) You shall have received, on each of the date hereof and the
     Closing Date, a letter dated the date hereof or the Closing Date, as the
     case may be, in form and substance satisfactory to you, from Price
     Waterhouse, LLP, independent public accountants for the Company, containing
     statements and information of the type ordinarily included in accountants'
     "comfort letters" to underwriters with respect to the financial statements
     and certain financial information contained in of incorporated by reference

          (h) You shall have received (i) a signed opinion of Hodgson, Russ,
     Andrews, Woods & Goodyear as to, among other things, the legal, valid and
     binding nature of each Original Indenture and the enforceability thereof,

<PAGE>
 
                                       14

     Section 4 of the Participation Agreements, in each case addressed to you
     and dated as of the Closing Date.

          (i) The Company shall have furnished to you and to your counsel, in
     form and substance satisfactory to such counsel, such other documents,
     certificates and opinions as such counsel may reasonably request in order
     to evidence the accuracy and completeness of any of the representations,
     warranties or statements, the performance of any covenant by the Company
     theretofore to be performed, or the compliance with any of the conditions
     herein contained.

          (j) The Certificates shall have been rated not less than BBB by
     Standard & Poor's Ratings Group and Baa1 by Moody's Investors Service.

          6.   Covenants of the Company.  In further consideration of the
               ------------------------                                  
agreements of the Underwriters herein contained, the Company covenants as
follows:

          (a) To furnish to you, without charge, two signed copies of the
     Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto and documents
     incorporated by reference) and for delivery to each other Underwriter two
     conformed copies of the Registration Statement (without exhibits) and,
     during the period mentioned in paragraph (c) below, as many copies of the
     Prospectus, any documents incorporated therein by reference, and any
     supplements and amendments thereto or to the Registration Statement as you
     may reasonably request.  The terms "supplement" and "amendment" or "amend"
     as used in this Agreement shall include all documents subsequently filed by
     the Company with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act that are
     deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Prospectus.

          (b) Before amending or supplementing the Registration Statement or the
     Prospectus, to furnish to you a copy of each such proposed amendment or
     supplement for your review; provided, however, that the foregoing
                                 --------  -------                    
     requirement shall not apply to any of the Company's periodic filings with
     the Commission required to be filed pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or
     15(d) of the Exchange Act, copies of which filings the Company will upon
     request cause to be delivered to the Underwriters promptly after being
     filed with the Commission; and not to file any such proposed amendment or
     supplement to which you or your counsel reasonably object.

          (c) If, during such period after the first date of the public offering
     of the Certificates as in the opinion of your counsel the Prospectus is
     required by law to be delivered in connection with sales by an Underwriter
     or dealer, any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it
     is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to make the
     statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus
     is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or if, in the opinion
<PAGE>
 
                                       15

     of your counsel, it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to
     comply with law, forthwith  to prepare, file with the Commission and
     furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and to the dealers (whose
     names and addresses you will furnish to the Company) to which Certificates
     may have been sold by you on behalf of the Underwriters and to any other
     dealers upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Prospectus so
     that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will
     not, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus is delivered to
     a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Prospectus, as amended or
     supplemented, will comply with law.

          (d) To endeavor to qualify the Certificates for offer and sale under
     the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as you shall
     reasonably request, to endeavor to maintain such qualification for as long
     as the laws of such jurisdictions so require and to notify the Underwriters
     of any termination of such qualifications; provided, however, that the
                                                --------  -------          
     Company shall not be obligated to so qualify the Certificates if such
     qualification requires it to file any general consent to service of process
     or to qualify as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction in which it is
     not so qualified.

          (e) To make generally available to the Company's security holders and
     to you upon request as soon as practicable an earning statement covering
     the twelve-month beginning on the first day of the first full fiscal
     quarter after the date hereof, which earning statement shall satisfy the
     provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and the rules and
     regulations thereunder.

          (f) During the period beginning on the date hereof and continuing to
     and including the Closing Date, not to offer, sell, contract to sell or
     otherwise dispose of any debt securities of the Company or warrants to
     purchase debt securities of the Company substantially similar to the
     Certificates (other than the Certificates) without your prior written
     consent.

          (g) Whether or not any sale of the Certificates is consummated, to
     pay, or cause the Owner Trustees to pay, the following expenses incident to
     this Agreement and the Pass Through Trust Agreements:  (i) the preparation,
     printing and distribution of this Agreement, the Registration Statement,
     the preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus and all amendments and
     supplements thereto and each of the Operative Documents, (ii) the
     preparation, issuance and delivery of the Certificates, (iii) the fees and
     disbursements of the Company's counsel and accountants, (iv) the
     qualification of the Certificates under securities laws in accordance with
     the provisions of Section 6(d), including filing fees and the reasonable
     fees and disbursements of the Underwriters' counsel in connection therewith
     and in connection with the preparation of any Blue Sky Memorandum, (v) the
     reasonable fees and expenses of the Pass
<PAGE>
 
                                       16

     Through Trustee, the Owner Trustees and the Indenture Trustee and the
     reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Pass Through Trustee,
     the Owner Trustees and the Indenture Trustee, (vi) the reasonable fees and
     expenses of all counsel retained to serve as local counsel in connection
     with the transactions contemplated in the Operative Documents, (vii)
     certain fees and disbursements of your counsel as heretofore agreed and
     (viii) any fees charged by rating agencies for the rating of the
     Certificates.

          (h) The Company, during the period when a prospectus relating to the
     Certificates is required to be delivered under the Securities Act (in the
     opinion of your counsel), will file promptly all documents required to be
     filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 14 of the Exchange Act.

          7.   Indemnification and Contribution.  (a)  The Company agrees to
               --------------------------------                             
indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who
controls each  Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all
losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, the
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel in connection with any governmental or
regulatory investigation or proceeding) caused by any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
Statement or any amendment thereof, or the Prospectus as originally filed or any
amendment or supplement thereof, or caused by any omission or alleged omission
to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that the Company
                                            --------  -------                  
will not be liable (i) in any case to the extent that such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or
alleged untrue statement or omission based upon or in conformity with
information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by
such Underwriter through you expressly for use therein or (ii) with respect to
any Preliminary Prospectus to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or
liability of the Underwriters results from the fact that the Underwriters sold
Certificates to a person as to whom it shall be established that there was not
sent or given, at or prior to the written confirmation of such sale, a copy of
the Prospectus or of the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented in any case
where such delivery is required by the Act if the Company has previously
furnished copies thereof in sufficient quantity and in a sufficiently timely
manner to the Underwriters and such loss, claim, damage or liability to the
Underwriters results from an untrue statement or omission of a material fact
contained in the Preliminary Prospectus which was identified in writing to the
Underwriters prior to the time of the determination of the purchase price
referred to in Section 2 hereof and corrected in the Prospectus or in the
Prospectus as then amended or supplemented.

          (b) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify
and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the
Registration Statement
<PAGE>
 
                                       17

and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either
Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same
extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to such Underwriter, but only
with reference to information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the
Company in writing by such Underwriter through you expressly for use in the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto.

          (c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation)
shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be
sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such person (the
"indemnified party") shall promptly notify the person against whom such
indemnity may be sought (the "indemnifying party") in writing of the institution
of such proceeding and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified
party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to
represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may
designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such
counsel related to such proceeding.  In any such proceeding, any indemnified
party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses
of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the
retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding
(including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would
be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them.
It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any
proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the
reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm for all such
indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as
they are incurred.  In the case of parties indemnified pursuant to paragraph (a)
above, such separate firm shall be designated in writing by Morgan Stanley & Co.
Incorporated and, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to paragraph (b)
above, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Company.  The
indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding
effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if
there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to
indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason
of such settlement or judgment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at
any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to
reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated
by the third sentence of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it
shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its
written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after
receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such
indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance
with such request prior to the date of such settlement.  No indemnifying party
shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any
settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any
indemnified party is or could have been a party and
<PAGE>
 
                                       18

indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless
such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from
all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

          (d) If the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or (b) of
this Section 7 is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect
of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each
indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such
indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the
other hand from the offering of the Certificates or (ii) if the allocation
provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred
to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one
hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements
or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative benefits
received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand
in connection with the offering of the Certificates shall be deemed to be in the
same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the
Certificates (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the
total commissions received by the Underwriters in respect thereof.  The relative
fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand
shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission
to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by
the Underwriters and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

          (e) The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just
or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro
                                                                           ---
rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such
- ----                                                                         
purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the
equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.
The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be
deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with
investigating or defending any such action or claim.  Notwithstanding the
provisions of this Section 7, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any
amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the
Certificates underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to
the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise
been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission.  No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of
<PAGE>
 
                                       19

Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any
person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  The
Underwriters' respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7
are several in proportion to the total commissions received by each Underwriter
pursuant to this Agreement and not joint.  The remedies provided for in this
Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may
otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

          (f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this
Section 7 and the representations and warranties of the Company contained in
this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of
(i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on
behalf of any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter or by or on
behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the
Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Certificates.

          8.   Termination.  This Agreement shall be subject to termination, by
               -----------                                                     
notice given by you to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) there has been any material adverse
change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business or
operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (ii) there has
occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other calamity or crises
the effect of which on the financial markets of the United States is such as to
make it, in your judgment, impracticable to market the Certificates, (iii)
trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange has been
suspended or materially limited or if a general moratorium on commercial banking
activities has been declared by either Federal or New York State authorities or
(iv) there has been any downgrading, or any notice given of any intended or
potential downgrading, in the rating accorded any of the Company's securities by
any "nationally recognized statistical rating organization," as such term is
defined for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Securities Act.

          If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of
them,  because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply
with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for
any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this
Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as
have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all
out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel)
reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or
the offering contemplated hereunder.

          9.   Default by One of the Underwriters.  If either Underwriter shall
               ----------------------------------                              
fail on the Closing Date to purchase the Certificates which it is obligated to
purchase hereunder (the "Defaulted Certificates"), you shall have the right, but
not the obligation, within 24 hours thereafter to make arrangements for the non-
defaulting Underwriter (the "Non-Defaulting
<PAGE>

record date shall be the record date specified in such Officer's Certificate

Certificateholders in connection therewith. If such a record date is fixed,
such consent, request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, waiver or
other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the
Certificateholders of record at the close of business on such record date shall
be deemed to be Certificateholders for the purposes of determining whether
Certificateholders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Certificates have
authorized or agreed or consented to such consent, request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the
Outstanding Certificates shall be computed as of such record date; provided
that no such consent, request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, waiver
or other Act by the Certificateholders on such record date shall be deemed
effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this
Trust Agreement not later than one year after such record date.
 
  (e) Any direction, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any
Certificate shall bind the Holder of every Certificate issued upon the transfer

<PAGE>

pledged to any Person shall have an equal and proportionate benefit under the
provisions of this Trust Agreement, without preference, priority, or
distinction as among all of the Certificates.

such Specified Investments as incurred. On the initial Distribution Date, the
Company will pay (in immediately available funds) to the Trustee an amount
equal to the interest that would have accrued on any Postponed Notes purchased
after the Debt Closing Date if such Postponed Notes had been purchased on the
Debt Closing Date, from the Debt Closing Date to, but not including, the date
of the purchase of such Postponed Notes by the Trustee.
 
  If the Company notifies the Trustee prior to the Cut-off Date that any of the
Postponed Notes will not be issued on or prior to the Cut-off Date for any
reason, on September 2, 1995 (i) the Company shall pay to the Trustee for
deposit in the Special Payments Account, in immediately available funds, an
amount equal to the interest that would have accrued on the Postponed Notes
designated in such notice at a rate equal to the interest rate applicable to
the Certificates from the Debt Closing Date to, but not including, such Special
Distribution Date and (ii) the Trustee shall transfer an amount equal to that
amount of Escrowed Funds that would have been used to purchase the Postponed
Notes designated in such notice and the amount paid by the Company pursuant to
the immediately preceding clause (i) to the Special Payments Account for
distribution as a Special Payment in accordance with the provisions hereof.
 
  If, on the Cut-off Date, an amount equal to less than all of the Escrowed
Funds (other than Escrowed Funds referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph) has been used to purchase Postponed Notes, on the Special
Distribution Date next following such

                                    PTA-15

Cut-off Date by more than 20 days (i) the Company shall pay to the Trustee for
deposit in the Special Payments Account, in immediately available funds, an
amount equal to the interest that would have accrued on such Postponed Notes
contemplated to be purchased with such unused Escrowed Funds (other than
Escrowed Funds referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph) but not so
purchased at a rate equal to the interest rate applicable to the Certificates
from the Debt Closing Date to, but not including, such Special Distribution
Date and (ii) the Trustee shall transfer such unused Escrowed Funds and the
amount paid by the Company pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i) to
such Special Payments Account for distribution as a Special Payment in
accordance with the provisions hereof.
 
  Section 2.02. Acceptance by Trustee. Subject to the terms of Article VII of
this Trust Agreement, the Trustee, upon the execution and delivery of this
Trust Agreement, shall acknowledge its acceptance of all right, title, and
interest in and to the Notes acquired pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof and the
Note Purchase Agreements and shall declare that the Trustee holds and will hold
such right, title, and interest, together with all other property constituting
the Trust Property, for the benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders, upon the trusts herein set forth. By its payment for and
acceptance of each Certificate issued to it hereunder, each initial
Certificateholder as grantor of the Trust shall thereby join in the creation
and declaration of the Trust.
 
  Section 2.03. Limitation of Powers. The Trust shall be constituted solely for
the purpose of making the investment in the Notes and, except as set forth
herein, the Trustee shall not be authorized or empowered to acquire any other
investments or engage in any other activities and, in particular, the Trustee
shall not be authorized or empowered to do anything that would cause the Trust
to fail to qualify as a "grantor trust" for federal income tax purposes
(including, as subject to this restriction, acquiring any Site by bidding the
Notes or otherwise, or taking any action with respect to any such Site once
acquired).

                               THE CERTIFICATES
 
  Section 3.01. Form, Denomination and Execution of Certificates. The
Certificates shall be in registered form without coupons and shall be
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, with such omissions,
variations and insertions as are permitted by this Trust Agreement, and may
have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or
endorsements printed, lithographed or engraved thereon, as may be required to
comply with the rules of any Clearing Agency or any securities exchange on
which the Certificates may be listed or to conform to any usage in respect
thereof, or as may, consistently herewith, be prescribed by the Trustee or by
the officer executing such
<PAGE>
                                    PTA-16 
 
Certificates, such determination by said officer to be evidenced by his signing
the Certificates.
 
  Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.09, the Definitive Certificates
shall be printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of
these methods or may be produced in any other manner permitted by the rules of
any Clearing Agency or any securities exchange on which the Certificates may be
listed, all as determined by the officer executing such Certificates, as
evidenced by his execution of such Certificates.
 
  The Certificates shall be issued in minimum denominations of $1,000 or
integral multiples thereof.
 
  The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Trustee by manual or
facsimile signature of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee. Certificates
bearing the manual or facsimile signature of an individual who was, at the time
when such signature was affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee
shall be valid and binding obligations of the Trustee, notwithstanding that
such individual has ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and
delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such office at the date of such
Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Trust
Agreement, or be valid for any purposes, unless there appears on such
Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth
in Exhibit A hereto executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such
certificate upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.
 
  Section 3.02. Authentication of Certificates. The Trustee on the Debt Closing
Date shall cause to be authenticated and delivered, simultaneously with the
sale, assignment, and transfer to the Trustee of the Notes and/or the deposit
of the Escrowed Funds in the Escrow Account pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof,
Certificates in authorized denominations equaling in the aggregate the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes expected to be purchased by the Trustee
pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreements, and evidencing the entire ownership
of the Trust.
 
  Section 3.03. Temporary Certificates. Pending the preparation of definitive
Certificates, the Trustee may execute, authenticate and deliver temporary
Certificates which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, or otherwise
produced, in any denomination, containing substantially the same terms and
provisions as set forth in Exhibit A, except for such appropriate insertions,
omissions, substitutions and other variations relating to their temporary
nature as the officer executing such temporary Certificates may determine, as
evidenced by his execution of such temporary Certificates.

<PAGE>
                                    PTA-17 
 
  If temporary Certificates are issued, the Trustee will cause definitive
Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation
of definitive Certificates, the temporary Certificates shall be exchangeable
for definitive Certificates upon surrender of the temporary Certificates at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, or at the office or agency of the
Trustee maintained in accordance with Section 7.12, without charge to the
Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary
Certificates, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor definitive Certificates of authorized denominations of a like
aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest. Until so exchanged, such temporary
Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this
Trust Agreement as definitive Certificates.
 
  Section 3.04. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates. The
Trustee shall cause to be kept at the office or agency to be maintained by it
in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.12 a register (the "Register")
in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the
Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and
exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee shall initially be
the registrar (the "Registrar") for the purpose of registering Certificates and
transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
 
  Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the
Corporate Trust Office or such other office or agency, the Trustee shall
execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations of a like
aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest.
 
  At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for other
Certificates of authorized denominations of a like aggregate Fractional
Undivided Interest, upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at any
such office or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for
exchange, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver the Certificates
that the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every
Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in
form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Registrar duly executed by the Holder
thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
 
  No service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder for any registration
of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee shall require payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed
in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
 
  All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer and exchange shall
be cancelled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee.

                                    PTA-18
 
  Section 3.05. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (a) any
mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Registrar, or the Registrar
receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Registrar and the Trustee such
security, indemnity or bond, as may be required by them to save each of them
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Registrar or the Trustee that
such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall
execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like
Fractional Undivided Interest with the same final Distribution Date. In
connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 3.05,
the Trustee shall require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Registrar)
connected therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section
3.05 shall constitute conclusive evidence of the appropriate Fractional
Undivided Interest in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the
lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
 
  Section 3.06. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentation of a
Certificate for registration of transfer, the Trustee, the Registrar, and any
Paying Agent of the Trustee may treat the person in whose name any Certificate
is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving
distributions pursuant to Section 4.02 and for all other purposes whatsoever,
and neither the Trustee, the Registrar, nor any Paying Agent of the Trustee
shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
 
  Section 3.07. Cancellation. All Certificates surrendered for payment or
transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person party hereto other
than the Registrar, be delivered by such Person to the Registrar for
cancellation. No Certificates shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange
for any Certificates cancelled as provided in this Section 3.07, except as
expressly permitted by this Trust Agreement. All cancelled Certificates held by
the Registrar shall be destroyed and a certification of their destruction
delivered to the Trustee.
 
  Section 3.08. Limitation of Liability for Payments. All payments or
distributions made to Certificateholders under this Trust Agreement shall be
made only from the Trust Property and only to the extent that the Trustee shall
have sufficient income or proceeds from the Trust Property to make such
payments in accordance with the terms of Article IV of this Trust Agreement.
Each Holder of a Certificate, by its acceptance of such Certificate, agrees
that it will look solely to the income and proceeds from the Trust Property to
the extent available for distribution to the Holder thereof as provided in this
Trust Agreement. The Trustee shall not be personally liable to any
Certificateholder for any amounts payable under this Trust Agreement except as
expressly provided herein.

  Section 3.09. Book-Entry and Definitive Certificates. (a) The Certificates
may be issued in the form of one or more typewritten Certificates representing
the Book-Entry Certificates, to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company,
the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Company. In such case,
the Certificates delivered to The Depository Trust Company shall initially be
registered on the Register in the name of CEDE & Co., the nominee of the
initial Clearing Agency, and no Certificate Owner will thereafter receive a
definitive certificate representing such Certificate Owner's interest in the
Certificates, except as provided above and in subsection (d) below. Unless and
until definitive, fully registered Certificates (the "Definitive Certificates")
have been issued to the Certificate Owners pursuant to subsection (d) below:
 
    (i) the provisions of this Section 3.09 shall be in full force and
  effect;
 
    (ii) the Company, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and the Trustee may
  deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes (including the making of
  distributions on the Certificates) as the authorized representative of the
  Certificate Owners;
 
    (iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 3.09 conflict
  with any other provisions of this Trust Agreement, the provisions of this
  Section 3.09 shall control;
 
    (iv) the rights of Certificate Owners shall be exercised only through the
  Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and
  agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency
  Participants. Until Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to
  subsection (d) below, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry
  transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit
  distributions of principal and interest and premium, if any, on the
  Certificates to such Clearing Agency Participants; and
 
    (v) whenever this Trust Agreement requires or permits actions to be taken
  based upon instructions or directions of the Certificateholders evidencing a
  specified percentage of the Fractional Undivided Interest, the Clearing Agency
  shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has
  received instructions to such effect from Beneficial Owners and/or Clearing
  Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required
  percentage of the beneficial interest in Certificates and has delivered such
  instructions to the Trustee. The Trustee shall have no obligation to determine
  whether the Clearing Agency has in fact received any such instructions.
 
  (b) Whenever notice or other communication to the Certificateholders is
required under this Trust Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates
shall have been issued pursuant to subsection (d) below, the Trustee shall give
all such notices and

<PAGE>
 
                                    PTA-20
 
communications specified herein to be given to Certificateholders to the
Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants, and shall make
available additional copies as requested by such Clearing Agency Participants.
 
  (c) Unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to
subsection (d) below, as of the Record Date prior to each applicable Regular
Distribution Date and Special Distribution Date, the Trustee will request from
the Clearing Agency a securities position listing setting forth the names of
all Clearing Agency Participants reflected on the Clearing Agency's books as
holding interests in the Certificates on such Record Date. The Trustee shall
mail to each such Clearing Agency Participant the statements described in
Section 4.03 hereof.
 
  (d) If (i) the Company advises the Trustee in writing that the Clearing
Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities
and the Trustee or the Company is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii)
the Company at its option, advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to
terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or (iii) after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Certificate
Owners of Book-Entry Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests
aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the Trust, by Act of said
Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee, advise the Trustee and the
Clearing Agency through the Clearing Agency Participants in writing that the
continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in
the best interests of the Certificate Owners, then the Trustee shall notify all
Certificate Owners, through the Clearing Agency, of the occurrence of any such
event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners
requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of all the Certificates by
the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions from the Clearing
Agency for registration of Definitive Certificates in the names of Certificate
Owners, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates and deliver such
Definitive Certificates in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing
Agency. Neither the Company, the Registrar nor the Trustee shall be liable for
any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and
shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of
Definitive Certificates, the Trustee shall recognize each Person in whose name
the Definitive Certificates are registered in the Register as a
Certificateholder hereunder. Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be
liable if the Trustee or the Company is unable to locate a qualified successor
Clearing Agency.
 
  (e) The Trustee shall enter into the Letter of Representations and fulfill
its responsibilities thereunder.

  Section 4.01. Certificate Account and Special Payments Account. (a) The
Trustee shall establish and maintain on behalf of the Certificateholders the
Certificate Account with the Trustee as one or more non-interest-bearing
accounts. The Trustee shall hold the Certificate Account in trust for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, and shall make or permit withdrawals
therefrom only as provided in this Trust Agreement. On each day when a
Scheduled Payment is made under any Indenture to the Trustee, as holder of the
Notes issued under such Indenture, the Trustee upon receipt shall immediately
deposit the aggregate amount of such Scheduled Payment in the Certificate
Account.
 
  (b) The Trustee shall establish and maintain on behalf of the
Certificateholders the Special Payments Account with the Trustee as one or more
accounts, which shall be non-interest-bearing except as provided in Section
4.04. The Trustee shall hold the Special Payments Account in trust for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, and shall make or permit withdrawals
therefrom only as provided in this Trust Agreement. On each day when a Special
Payment (other than a Special Payment that represents the proceeds of any sale
pursuant to Article VI hereof by the Trustee of a Note) is made under any
Indenture to the Trustee, as holder of the Notes issued under such Indenture,
the Trustee upon receipt shall immediately deposit the aggregate amounts of
such Special Payments in the Special Payments Account. Upon the sale of any
Note by the Trustee pursuant to Article VI hereof and the realization of any
proceeds thereof, the Trustee shall deposit the aggregate amount of such
proceeds as a Special Payment in the Special Payments Account.
 
  (c) The Trustee shall present to the Indenture Trustee to which a Note
relates such Note on the date of its stated final maturity, or in the case of
any Note which is to be prepaid in whole pursuant to the relevant Indenture, on
the applicable prepayment date under such Indenture.
 
  Section 4.02. Distributions from Certificate Account and Special Payments
Account. (a) On each Distribution Date or as soon thereafter as the Trustee has
confirmed receipt of the payment of the Scheduled Payments due on the Notes on
such date, the Trustee shall distribute out of the Certificate Account the
entire amount deposited therein pursuant to Section 4.01(a). There shall be so
distributed to each Certificateholder of record on the Record Date with respect
to such Distribution Date (other than as provided in Section 11.01 concerning
the final distribution) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at the
address appearing in the Register such Certificateholder's pro rata share
(based on the aggregate

<PAGE>
 
                                    PTA-22
 
Fractional Undivided Interests held by such Certificateholder) of the aggregate
amount in the Certificate Account.
 
  (b) On each Special Distribution Date with respect to any Special Payment or
as soon thereafter as the Trustee has confirmed receipt of the Special Payments
due on the Notes or realized upon the sale of any Note, the Trustee shall
distribute out of the Special Payments Account the entire amount deposited
therein pursuant to Section 4.01(b) of such Special Payment. There shall be so
distributed to each Certificateholder of record on the Record Date with respect
to such Special Distribution Date (other than as provided in Section 11.01
concerning the final distribution) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at
the address appearing in the Register such Certificateholder's pro rata share
(based on the aggregate Fractional Undivided Interests held by such
Certificateholder) of the aggregate amount in the Special Payments Account on
account of such Special Payment.
 
  (c) The Trustee shall at the expense of the Company cause notice of each
Special Payment to be mailed to each Holder of a Certificate at his address as
it appears in the Register. In the event of prepayment of Notes, such notice
shall be mailed not less than 20 days prior to the date any such Special
Payment is scheduled to be distributed. In the case of any other Special
Payments, such notice shall be mailed as soon as practicable after the Trustee
has confirmed that it has received funds for such Special Payment. Notices
mailed by the Trustee shall set forth:
 
    (i) the Special Distribution Date and the Record Date therefor (except as
  otherwise provided in Section 11.01),
 
    (ii) the amount of the Special Payment for each $1,000 face amount of
  Certificates and the amount thereof constituting principal, premium, if
  any, and interest,
 
    (iii) the reason for the Special Payment, and
 
    (iv) if the Special Distribution Date is the same date as a Distribution
  Date, the total amount to be received on such date for each $1,000 face
  amount of Certificates.
 
If the amount of premium, if any, payable upon the prepayment of a Note has not
been calculated at the time that the Trustee mails notice of a Special Payment,
it shall be sufficient if the notice sets forth the other amounts to be
distributed and states that any premium received will also be distributed.

<PAGE>
                                    PTA-23
 
  If any prepayment of the Notes held in the Trust is cancelled, the Trustee,
as soon as possible after learning thereof, shall cause notice thereof to be
mailed to each Certificateholder at its address as it appears on the Register.
 
  Section 4.03. Statements to Certificateholders. (a) On each Distribution Date
and Special Distribution Date, the Trustee will include with each distribution
to Certificateholders a statement, giving effect to such distribution to be
made on such Distribution Date, as the case may be, setting forth the following
information (per $1,000 face amount of Certificates as to (i) and (ii) below):
 
    (i) the amount of such distribution allocable to principal and the amount
  allocable to premium, if any;
 
    (ii) the amount of such distribution allocable to interest; and
 
    (iii) the Pool Balance and the Pool Factor.
 
  (b) Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year
but not later than the latest date permitted by law, the Trustee shall furnish
to each Person who at any time during such calendar year was a
Certificateholder of record a statement containing the sum of the amounts
determined pursuant to clauses (a)(i) and (a)(ii) with respect to the Trust for
such calendar year or, in the event such Person was a Certificateholder of
record during a portion of such calendar year, for the applicable portion of
such year, and such other items as are readily available to the Trustee and
which a Certificateholder shall reasonably request as necessary for the purpose
of such Certificateholder's preparation of its federal income tax returns.
 
  Section 4.04. Investment of Special Payment Moneys. Any money received by the
Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01(b) representing a Special Payment which is not
to be promptly distributed shall, to the extent practicable, be invested in
Permitted Investments by the Trustee pending distribution of such Special
Payment pursuant to Section 4.02. Any investment made pursuant to this Section
4.04 shall be in such Permitted Investments having maturities not later than
the date that such moneys are required to be used to make the payment required
under Section 4.02 on the applicable Special Distribution Date and the Trustee
shall hold any such Permitted Investments until maturity. The Trustee shall
have no liability with respect to any investment made pursuant to this Section
4.04, other than by reason of the willful misconduct or negligence of the
Trustee. All income and earnings from such investments shall be distributed on
such Special Distribution Date as part of such Special Payment.

  Section 5.01. Maintenance of Corporate Existence. The Company, at its own
cost and expense, will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve
and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, rights and
franchises, except as otherwise specifically permitted in Section 5.02;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any right
or franchise if the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no
longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and that the
loss thereof is not prejudicial in any material respect to the
Certificateholders.
 
  Section 5.02. Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets Permitted. (a) The
Company shall not consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or
convey, transfer or lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of
its assets to any Person unless the successor corporation (if other than the
Company) shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the
United States of America or a State thereof or the District of Columbia, and
such corporation shall expressly assume the due and punctual performance and
observance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Trust Agreement to be
performed by the Company by supplemental agreement given by such successor
corporation to the Trustee.
 
  (b) Upon any such consolidation or merger, conveyance, transfer or lease or
other disposition and upon any such assumption by the successor corporation,
such successor corporation shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may
exercise every right and power of, the Company hereunder, with the same effect
as if it had been named herein as the party of the first part. No such
consolidation or merger, conveyance, transfer or lease shall have the effect of
releasing the Company or any successor corporation which shall theretofore have
become such from its liability hereunder.
 
  (c) The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02, may
receive an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive
evidence that any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, and any such
assumption, complies with the provisions of this Section 5.02.
 
  Section 5.03. Annual Statements as to Compliance by the Company. The Company
covenants and agrees to deliver to the Trustee on or before a date not more
than 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the
date hereof, an Officers' Certificate stating as to the officer signing such
certificate, whether or not, to the best of such officer's knowledge, the
Company is not in default in the performance and observance of any of the
terms, provisions and conditions hereof and, if the Company shall

<PAGE>
                                    PTA-25
 
be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature thereof of which
such officer may have knowledge, and the actions proposed to be undertaken by
the Company with respect thereto.

  Section 6.01. Events of Default. If any Indenture Default under any Indenture
(an "Event of Default") shall occur and be continuing, then, and in each and
every case, so long as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the Trustee
may vote all of the Notes held in the Trust to which such Event of Default
relates, and upon the direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing
Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest
in the Trust, the Trustee shall vote a corresponding majority of such Notes in
favor of directing the Indenture Trustee to which such Event of Default relates
to declare the unpaid principal amount of the Notes then outstanding to which
such Event of Default relates and accrued interest thereon to be due and
payable under, and in accordance with the provisions of, the relevant
Indenture. In addition, if an Indenture Default shall have occurred and be
continuing under any Indenture, the Trustee may in accordance with the relevant
Indenture vote the Notes held in the Trust to which such Event of Default
relates to direct the Indenture Trustee regarding the exercise of remedies
provided in Article VIII of such Indenture.
 
  In addition, after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
with respect to any Notes, the Trustee may in its discretion, and upon the
direction of the Certificateholders evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests
aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the Trust shall, by such
officer or agent as it may appoint, sell, convey, transfer and deliver such
Note or Notes, without recourse to or warranty by the Trustee or any
Certificateholder, to any Person. In any such case, the Trustee shall sell,
assign, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver such Note or Notes
in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any location or
locations at the option of the Trustee, all upon such terms and conditions as
it may reasonably deem advisable and at such prices as it may reasonably deem
advisable, for cash. If the Trustee so decides or is required to sell or
otherwise dispose of any Note pursuant to this Section 6.01, the Trustee shall
take such of the actions described above as it may reasonably deem most
effectual to complete the sale or other disposition of such Note, so as to
provide for the payment in full of all amounts due on the Certificates. The
Trustee shall give notice to the Company promptly after any such sale.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any action taken by the Trustee under this
Section 6.01 shall not, in the reasonable judgment of the Trustee, be adverse
to the best interests of the Certificateholders.

  Section 6.02. Incidents of Sale of Notes. Upon any sale of all or any part of
the Notes made either under the power of sale given under this Trust Agreement
or otherwise for the enforcement of this Trust Agreement, the following shall
be applicable:
 
    (1) Certificateholders and Trustee May Purchase Notes. Any
  Certificateholder, the Trustee in its individual or any other capacity or
  any other Person may bid for and purchase any of the Notes, and upon
  compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain, possess and dispose of
  such Notes in their or its or his own absolute right without further
  accountability.
 
    (2) Receipt of Trustee Shall Discharge Purchaser. The receipt of the
  Trustee or of the officer making such sale shall be a sufficient discharge
  to any purchaser for his purchase money, and, after paying such purchase
  money and receiving such receipt, such purchaser or his personal
  representative or assigns shall not be obliged to see to the application of
  such purchase money, or be in any way answerable for any loss,
  misapplication or non-application thereof.
 
    (3) Application of Moneys Received upon Sale. Any moneys collected by the
  Trustee upon any sale made either under the power of sale given by this
  Trust Agreement or otherwise for the enforcement of this Trust Agreement
  shall be applied, first, to the payment of all costs and expenses,
  including all sums paid and advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the
  reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of the Trustee, its
  agents and counsel, incurred in connection with that collection, and
  secondly, shall be applied as provided in Section 4.02.
 
  Section 6.03. Judicial Proceedings Instituted by Trustee. (a) Trustee May
Bring Suit. If there shall be a failure to make payment of the principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on any Note, then the Trustee, in its own name, and
as trustee of an express trust, as holder of such Notes, shall be, to the extent
permitted by and in accordance with the terms of the Note Documents, entitled
and empowered to institute any suits, actions or proceedings at law, in equity
or otherwise, for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid on such Notes and
may prosecute any such claim or proceeding to judgment or final decree with
respect to the whole amount of any such sums so due and unpaid.
 
  (b) Trustee May File Proofs of Claim; Appointment of Trustee as Attorney-in-
Fact in Judicial Proceedings. The Trustee in its own name, or as trustee of an
express trust, or as attorney-in-fact for the Certificateholders, or in any one
or more of such capacities (irrespective of whether distributions on the
Certificates shall then be due and payable, or the payment of the principal on
the Notes shall then be due and payable, as therein expressed or by declaration
or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall

<PAGE>
                                    PTA-27
 
have made any demand to the relevant Indenture Trustee for the payment of
overdue principal, premium (if any) or interest on the Notes), shall be
entitled and empowered to file such proofs of claim and other papers or
documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the
Trustee and of the Certificateholders allowed in any receivership, insolvency,
bankruptcy, liquidation, readjustment, reorganization or any other judicial
proceedings relative to the Company, the relevant Owner Trustee, the relevant
Owner Participant or their respective creditors or property. Any receiver,
assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or similar official) in any such
judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Certificateholder to make
payments in respect of such claim to the Trustee, and in the event that the
Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the
Certificateholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel. Nothing contained in this Trust Agreement shall be
deemed to give to the Trustee any right to accept or consent to any plan of
reorganization or otherwise by action of any character in any such proceeding
to waive or change in any way any right of any Certificateholder.
 
  Section 6.04. Control by Certificateholders. The Certificateholders
evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than a majority
in interest in the Trust shall have the right to direct the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee under this Trust
Agreement, including any right of the Trustee as holder of the Notes, provided
that
 
    (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with
  this Trust Agreement and may not involve the Trustee in personal liability
  or expense,
 
    (2) the Trustee shall not determine that the action so directed would be
  unduly prejudicial to the Certificateholders not taking part in such
  direction,
 
    (3) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee
  which is not inconsistent with such direction, and
 
    (4) if an Indenture Default under any Indenture shall have occurred and
  be continuing, such direction shall not obligate the Trustee to vote more
  than a corresponding majority of the related Notes held by the Trust in
  favor of directing any action by the Indenture Trustee with respect to such
  Indenture Default.
 
  Section 6.05. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Certificateholders evidencing
Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest
in the Trust may on behalf of the Certificateholders of all the Certificates
waive any past Event of Default

<PAGE>
                                    PTA-28
 
hereunder and its consequences or may instruct the Trustee to waive any past
default under any Indenture or this Agreement and its consequences, except a
default
 
    (1) in the deposit of any Scheduled Payment or Special Payment under
  Section 4.01 or in the distribution of any payment under Section 4.02 on
  the Certificates, or
 
    (2) in the payment of the principal of (premium, if any) or interest on
  any Notes, or
 
    (3) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article IX
  hereof cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the
  Certificateholder of each Outstanding Certificate affected.
 
  Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist with respect to this
Trust Agreement, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to
have been cured for every purpose of this Trust Agreement and any direction
given by the Trustee on behalf of such holders to an Indenture Trustee shall be
annulled with respect thereto; but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent
thereon. Upon any such waiver, the Trustee shall vote the Notes issued under
the relevant Indenture to waive the corresponding Indenture Default.
 
  Section 6.06. Undertaking to Pay Court Costs. All parties to this Trust
Agreement, and each Certificateholder by his acceptance of a Certificate, shall
be deemed to have agreed that any court may in its discretion require, in any
suit, action or proceeding for the enforcement of any right or remedy under
this Trust Agreement, or in any suit, action or proceeding against the Trustee
for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee hereunder, the filing by any
party litigant in such suit, action or proceeding of an undertaking to pay the
costs of such suit, action or proceeding, and that such court may, in its
discretion, assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
against any party litigant in such suit, action or proceeding, having due
regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such
party litigant; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 6.06
shall not apply to (a) any suit, action or proceeding instituted by any
Certificateholder or group of Certificateholders evidencing Fractional
Undivided Interests aggregating more than 10% of the Trust, (b) any suit,
action or proceeding instituted by any Certificateholder for the enforcement of
the distribution of payments pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof on or after the
respective due dates expressed herein or (c) any suit, action or proceeding
instituted by the Trustee.
 
  Section 6.07. Right of Certificateholders to Receive Payments Not to Be
Impaired. Anything in this Trust Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
including without limitation Section 6.08 hereof, the right of any
Certificateholder to receive

<PAGE>
                                    PTA-29
 
distributions of payments required pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof on the
Certificates when due, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
payment on or after the applicable Distribution Date or Special Distribution
Date, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such
Certificateholder.
 
  Section 6.08. Certificateholders May Not Bring Suit Except Under Certain
Conditions. A Certificateholder shall not have the right to institute any suit,
action or proceeding at law or in equity or otherwise with respect to this
Trust Agreement, for the appointment of a receiver or for the enforcement of
any other remedy under this Trust Agreement, unless:
 
    (1) such Certificateholder previously shall have given written notice to
  the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;
 
    (2) the Certificateholders evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests
  aggregating not less than 25% of the Trust shall have requested the Trustee
  in writing to institute such action, suit or proceeding and shall have
  offered to the Trustee indemnity as provided in Section 7.03(e);
 
    (3) the Trustee shall have refused or neglected to institute any such
  action, suit or proceeding for 60 days after receipt of such notice,
  request and offer of indemnity; and
 
    (4) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to
  the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Certificateholders evidencing
  Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than a majority in
  interest in the Trust.
 
  It is understood and intended that no one or more of the Certificateholders
shall have any right in any manner whatever hereunder or under the Certificates
to (i) surrender, impair, waive, affect, disturb or prejudice any property in
the Trust Property or the lien of any Indenture on any property subject
thereto, or the rights of the Certificateholders or the holders of the Notes,
(ii) obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such
Holder or (iii) enforce any right under this Trust Agreement, except in the
manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all the
Certificateholders subject to the provisions of this Trust Agreement.
 
  Section 6.09. Remedies Cumulative. Every remedy given hereunder to the
Trustee or to any of the Certificateholders shall not be exclusive of any other
remedy or remedies, and every such remedy shall be cumulative and in addition
to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter given by statute,
law, equity or otherwise.

                                  THE TRUSTEE
 
  Section 7.01. Certain Duties and Responsibilities. No provision of this Trust
Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own
negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful
misconduct, except that:
 
    (a) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good
  faith by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that
  the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
 
    (b) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or
  omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of
  the Certificateholders evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating
  not less than a majority in interest in the Trust relating to the time, method
  and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
  Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under
  this Trust Agreement; and
  
    (c) no provision of this Trust Agreement shall require the Trustee to expend
  or risk its own funds in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in
  the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable
  grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity
  against such risk is not reasonably assured to it.
 
  Section 7.02. Notice of Defaults. As promptly as practicable after, and in
any event within 90 days after, the occurrence of any default (as such term is
defined below) hereunder, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to the Company,
the Owner Trustees and the Indenture Trustees in accordance with Section 12.03
and to all Certificateholders, as their names and addresses appear in the
Register, notice of such default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such
default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the
case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or
interest on any Note, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice
if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust
committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith
determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the
Certificateholders. For the purpose of this Section, the term "default" means
any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an
Event of Default.

  reliance upon an Officer's Certificate of the Company, any Owner Trustee or
  any Indenture Trustee;
 
    (d) the Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or
  any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection
  in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good
  faith and in reliance thereon;

  or powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement at the request or direction of
  any of the Certificateholders pursuant to this Trust Agreement, unless such
  Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity
  reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the cost, expenses and
  liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or
  direction;
  
    (f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts
  or matters stated in any resolution, Officer's Certificate, certificate,
  statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent,
  order, bond, debenture or other paper or document but the Trustee, in its
  discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or
  matters as it may see fit, the reasonable expenses of which shall be paid by
  the Company or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Company;
 
    (g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform
  any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and
  the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the

<PAGE>

                                    PTA-32
 
 
    (h) the Trustee shall not be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the
  performance or observance of any covenants, conditions, or agreements on the
  part of the Company, except as otherwise set forth herein, but the Trustee may
  require of the Company full information and advice as to the performance of
  the covenants, conditions and agreements contained herein and shall be
  entitled in connection therewith to examine the books, records and premises of
  the Company;
 
    (i) the permissive rights of the Trustee to do things enumerated in this
  Trust Agreement shall not be construed as a duty and the Trustee shall not be

  Agreement, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any default or
  event unless specifically notified in writing of such event by the Company,
  the Indenture Trustee or the Holder of any Certificate Outstanding; as used
  herein, the term "actual knowledge" means the actual fact or statement of
  knowing, without any duty to make any investigation with regard thereto; and
 
    (k) the Trustee shall not be required to give any note or surety in respect
  of the execution of the said trusts and powers or otherwise in respect of the
  premises.
 
  Section 7.04. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Certificates. The
recitals contained herein and in the Certificates, except the certificates of
authentication, shall not be taken as the statements of the Trustee, and the
Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. Subject to Section

this Trust Agreement, the Note Documents, any Indenture, the Notes or the
Certificates, except that the Trustee hereby represents and warrants that this
Trust Agreement has been, and each Certificate will be, executed and delivered
by one of its officers who is duly authorized to execute and deliver such
document on its behalf.
 
  Section 7.05. May Hold Certificates. The Trustee, any Paying Agent, Registrar
or any other agent, in their respective individual or any other capacity, may

the funds of any other Person except to

                                    PTA-33
 
the extent required herein or by law. Subject to Section 4.04, neither the
Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall have any liability for interest upon any
such moneys except as provided for herein.
 
  Section 7.07. Compensation and Reimbursement. The Company agrees:
 
    (1) to pay, or cause to be paid, to the Trustee from time to time the
  compensation set forth in the schedule agreed to by the Trustee and the
  Company for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall
  not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a
  trustee of an express trust);

  to be reimbursed, the Trustee upon its request for all advances and
  reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements incurred or made by the
  Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Trust Agreement (including
  the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its
  agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as

  incurred due to the Trustee's breach of its representations and warranties
  set forth in Section 7.15;
 
    (3) to indemnify, or cause to be indemnified, the Trustee for, and to

  administration of this Trust, including the costs and expenses of defending
  itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or
  performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except for any such
  loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of the Trustee's breach of
  its representations and warranties set forth in Section 7.15. The Trustee
  shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek
  indemnity. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall

<PAGE>
 
                                    PTA-34
 
  any tax for which it may seek indemnity. The Company shall have the right
  to defend against the imposition of such tax and the Trustee, in its
  individual capacity, shall cooperate in any such defense. The Trustee, in
  its individual capacity, may have separate counsel with the consent of the
  Company and the Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such
  counsel. The Company need not pay for any taxes paid, in settlement or
  otherwise, without its consent.

Agreement, including its right to reimbursement for advances and for payment of
all fees and expenses, and for any tax incurred without negligence or willful
misconduct on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of this Trust (other than any tax attributable to the Trustee's
compensation for serving as such), including any costs and expenses incurred in
contesting the imposition of any such tax. If the Trustee reimburses itself for
any such tax, it will within 30 days mail a brief report setting forth the
circumstances thereof to all Certificateholders as their names and addresses
appear in the Register.
 
  As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under this
Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Certificates upon all
property and funds held or collected by the Trustee in its capacity as Trustee.
 
  Section 7.08. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall at all
times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a corporation organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States of America or of any State or
Territory or of the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to
exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at
least $75,000,000, and subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State,
Territorial or District of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes
reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements
of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of
this Section 7.08, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall
be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most
recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease
to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.08, it shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in
this Article VII.
 
  Section 7.09. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. (a) No
resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee
pursuant to this Article VII shall become effective until the acceptance of
appointment by the successor Trustee under Section 7.10.

<PAGE>
                                    PTA-35 
 
  (b) The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to
the Company, the Authorized Agents, the Owner Trustees and the Indenture
Trustees. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have
been delivered to the Company, the Owner Trustees and the Trustee within 30
days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Trustee.
 
  (c) The Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the Holders holding
Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less
than a majority in interest in the Trust delivered to the Trustee and to the
Company, the Owner Trustees and the Indenture Trustees.
 
  (d) If at any time:
 
    (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 310 of the Trust
  Indenture Act after written request therefor by the Company or by any
  Certificateholder who has been a bona fide Certificateholder for at least
  six months; or
 
    (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 7.08 and shall
  fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such
  Certificateholder; or
 
    (3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a
  bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall
  be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the
  Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
  conservation or liquidation;
 
then, in any case, (i) the Company may remove the Trustee or (ii) subject to
Section 6.06, any Certificateholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a
Certificate for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others
similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.
 
  (e) If a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall obtain actual knowledge of
an Avoidable Tax (as hereinafter defined) which has been or is likely to be
asserted, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Owner Trustees
thereof and shall, within 30 days of such notification, resign hereunder unless
within such 30-day period the Trustee shall have received notice that the
Company or the Owner Trustees have agreed to pay such tax. The Company shall
promptly appoint a successor Trustee in a jurisdiction where there are no
Avoidable Taxes. As used herein an Avoidable Tax means a state or local tax:
(i) upon (w) the Trust, (x) the Trust Property, (y) Holders of the Certificates
or (z) the Trustee for which the Trustee is entitled to seek reimbursement from
the Trust Property, and (ii) which would be avoided if the Trustee were located
in another state, or jurisdiction

<PAGE>
                                    PTA-36 

within a state, within the United States. A tax shall not be an Avoidable Tax
if the Company or the Owner Trustees shall agree to pay, and shall pay, such
tax.
 
  (f) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or
if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Trustee for any cause, the
Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. If, within one year after
such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a
successor Trustee shall be appointed by Act of the Holders holding Certificates
evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than a majority
in interest in the Trust delivered to the Company, the Owner Trustees, the
Indenture Trustees and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed
shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor
Trustee and supersede the successor Trustee appointed as provided above. If no
successor Trustee shall have been so appointed as provided above and accepted
appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Certificateholder who has
been a bona fide Holder of a Certificate for at least six months may, on behalf
of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
 
  (g) The successor Trustee shall give notice of the resignation and removal of
the Trustee and appointment of the successor Trustee by mailing written notice
of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders of
Certificates as their names and addresses appear in the Register. Each notice
shall include the name of such successor Trustee and the address of its
Corporate Trust Office.
 
  Section 7.10. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. Every successor Trustee
appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and
to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon
the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and
such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring
Trustee; but, on request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring
Trustee shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor
Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall
duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and
money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its
lien, if any, provided for in Section 7.07. Upon request of any such successor
Trustee, the Company, the retiring Trustee and such successor Trustee shall
execute and deliver any and all instruments containing such provisions as shall
be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and for more fully and
certainly vesting in, such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and
trusts.
 
  No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such
acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this
Article VII.

  Section 7.11. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.
Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which
it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust
business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder,
provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this
Article VII, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Certificates shall have been
authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor
by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt
such authentication and deliver the Certificates so authenticated with the same
effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Certificates.
 
  Section 7.12. Maintenance of Agencies. (a) There shall at all times be
maintained in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or
agency where Certificates may be presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer or for exchange, and for payment thereof and where notices and demands
to or upon the Trustee in respect of the Certificates or of this Trust
Agreement may be served. Such office or agency shall be initially at Shawmut
Trust Company, c/o First Chicago Trust Company, 14 Wall Street, 8th Floor,
Window #2, New York, New York 10005. Written notice of the location of each
such other office or agency and of any change of location thereof shall be
given by the Trustee to the Company, the Owner Trustees, the Indenture Trustees
and the Certificateholders. In the event that no such office or agency shall be
maintained or no such notice of location or of change of location shall be

Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.
 
  (b) There shall at all times be a Registrar and a Paying Agent hereunder.
Each such Authorized Agent shall be a bank or trust company, shall be a
corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or
any state, with a combined capital and surplus of at least $75,000,000, and
shall be authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, subject
to supervision by Federal or state authorities. The Trustee shall initially be
the Paying Agent and, as provided in Section 3.04, Registrar hereunder. Each

converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting

hereunder, if such successor corporation is otherwise

<PAGE>
                                    PTA-38
 
eligible under this Section 7.12, without the execution or filing of any paper
or any further act on the part of the parties hereto or such Authorized Agent
or such successor corporation.
 
  (d) Any Authorized Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of
resignation to the Trustee, the Company, the Owner Trustees and the Indenture
Trustees. The Company may, and at the request of the Trustee shall, at any time
terminate the agency of any Authorized Agent by giving written notice of
termination to such Authorized Agent and to the Trustee. Upon the resignation
or termination of an Authorized Agent or in case at any time any such
Authorized Agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section 7.12 (when, in
either case, no other Authorized Agent performing the functions of such
Authorized Agent shall have been appointed), the Company shall promptly appoint
one or more qualified successor Authorized Agents, reasonably satisfactory to
the Trustee, to perform the functions of the Authorized Agent which has
resigned or whose agency has been terminated or who shall have ceased to be
eligible under this Section 7.12. The Company shall give written notice of any
such appointment made by it to the Trustee, the Owner Trustees and the
Indenture Trustees; and in each case the Trustee shall mail notice of such
appointment to all Holders as their names and addresses appear on the Register.
 
  (e) The Company agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, from time to time to each
Authorized Agent the compensation as set forth in the schedule agreed to by
each Authorized Agent and the Company for its services and to reimburse it for
its reasonable expenses.
 
  Section 7.13. Money for Certificate Payments to Be Held in Trust. All moneys
deposited with any Paying Agent for the purpose of any payment on Certificates
shall be deposited and held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the
Certificates entitled to such payment, subject to the provisions of this
Section 7.13. Moneys so deposited and held in trust shall constitute a separate
trust fund for the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates with respect to
which such money was deposited.
 
  The Trustee will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute
and deliver to it an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the
Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 7.13, that such Paying Agent
will:
 
    (1) hold all sums held by it for payments on Certificates in trust for
  the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid
  to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;
 
    (2) give the Trustee notice of any default by any obligor upon the
  Certificates in the making of any such payment; and

<PAGE>
 
                                    PTA-39 

    (3) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written
  request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust
  by such Paying Agent.
 
  The Trustee may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and
discharge of this Trust Agreement or for any other purpose, direct any Paying
Agent to pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such
sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such
sums were held by such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent
to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability
with respect to such money.
 
  Section 7.14. Ownership and Registration of Notes, Permitted Investments and
Specified Investments in Trustee's Name. The Trustee agrees that all Notes,
Permitted Investments, if any, and Specified Investments, if any, shall be

not so held, the Trustee or its nominee shall be reflected as the owner of such
Notes, Permitted Investments or Specified Investments, as the case may be, in
the register of the issuer of such Notes, Permitted Investments or Specified
Investments. In no event shall the Trustee invest in, or hold, Notes, Permitted
Investments or Specified Investments in a manner that would cause the Trustee
not to have the ownership interest in such Notes, Permitted Investments or
Specified Investments under the applicable provisions of the Uniform Commercial
Code in effect where the Trustee holds such Notes, Permitted Investments or
Specified Investments, or other applicable law then in effect.
 
  Section 7.15. Representations and Warranties of Trustee. The Trustee hereby
represents and warrants that:

  Agreement and the Participation Agreements (a) will not violate any provision

  judgment or decree of any court, arbitrator, or governmental authority
  applicable to the Trustee and any of its assets, (b) will not violate any
  provision of the articles of association or by-laws of the Trustee, or (c)
  will not violate any provision of, or constitute, with or without
<PAGE>
 
                                    PTA-40
 
  notice or lapse of time, a default under, or result in the creation or
  imposition of any lien on any properties included in the Trust Property
  pursuant to the provisions of, any mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement or
  other undertaking to which it is a party, which violation, default or lien
  could reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on the Trustee's
  performance or ability to perform its duties hereunder or thereunder or on the
  transactions contemplated herein or therein;
  
    (iv) the execution, delivery and performance by the Trustee of this Trust
  Agreement and the Participation Agreements will not require the authorization,
  consent, or approval of, the giving of notice to, the filing or registration
  with, or the taking of any other action in respect of, any governmental
  authority or agency of the State of Connecticut or the United States of
  America regulating the banking and corporate trust activities of the Trustee;
  and
 
    (v) this Trust Agreement and the Participation Agreements have been duly
  executed and delivered by the Trustee and constitute the legal, valid, and
  binding agreements of the Trustee, enforceable in accordance with their
  respective terms, provided that enforceability may be limited by applicable
  bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting
  the rights of creditors generally and general principles of equity.
 
  Section 7.16. Withholding Taxes; Information Reporting. The Trustee, as
trustee of a grantor trust, shall exclude and withhold from each distribution of
principal, premium, if any, and interest and other amounts due hereunder or
under the Certificates any and all withholding taxes applicable thereto as
required by law, except to the extent a Certificateholder has furnished
satisfactory evidence to the Trustee of any exemption from or reduction in
withholding claimed by such Certificateholder. The Trustee agrees to act as such
withholding agent and, in connection therewith, whenever any present or future
taxes or similar charges are required to be withheld with respect to any amounts
payable in respect of the Certificates, to withhold such amounts and timely pay
the same to the appropriate authority in the name of and on behalf of the
Holders, that it will file any necessary withholding tax returns or statements
when due, and that, as promptly as possible after the payment thereof, it will
deliver to each Holder appropriate documentation showing the payment thereof,
together with such additional documentary evidence as such Holders may
reasonably request from time to time. The Trustee agrees to file any other
information or report as it may be required to file under United States law.
 
  Section 7.17. Trustee's Liens. The Trustee, in its individual capacity, agrees
that it will at its own cost and expense promptly take any action as may be
necessary to duly discharge and satisfy in full any mortgage, pledge, lien,
charge, encumbrance, security interest or claim ("Trustee's Liens") on or with
respect to the Trust Property which is either (i) attributable to the Trustee in
its individual capacity and which is unrelated to the

                                    PTA-41 
 
transactions contemplated by this Trust Agreement, the Note Purchase Agreements
or the Note Documents, or (ii) which is attributable to the Trustee as trustee
hereunder or in its individual capacity and which arises out of acts or

Trust or any other transaction contemplated by the Note Documents or prohibited

the Company of any such request, a list, in such form as the Trustee may
reasonably require, of all information in the possession or control of the
Company as to the names and addresses of the Certificateholders, in each case
as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such list is furnished;
provided, however, that so long as the Trustee is the sole Registrar, no such
list need be furnished; and provided further, however, that no such list need
be furnished for so long as a copy of the Register is being furnished to the
Trustee pursuant to Section 7.12(b).
 
  Section 8.02. Preservation of Information; Communications to
Certificateholders. (a) The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is
reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of Holders of Certificates
contained in the most recent list furnished to the Trustee as provided in
Section 7.12(b) or Section 8.01, as the case may be, and the names and
addresses of Holders of Certificates received by the Trustee in its capacity as
Registrar, if so acting. The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as
provided in Section 7.12(b) or Section 8.01, as the case may be, upon receipt
of a new list so furnished.
 
  (b) If three or more Certificateholders (such Holders hereinafter referred to
as "applicants") apply in writing to the Trustee, and furnish to the Trustee
reasonable proof that each such applicant has owned a Certificate for a period
of at least six months preceding the date of such application, and such
application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other
Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Trust Agreement or
under the Certificates and is accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy or
other communication which such applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee
shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, at its
election, either
 
    (i) afford such applicants access to the information preserved at the
  time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 8.02(a), or

    (ii) inform such applicants as to the approximate number of Holders of
  Certificates whose names and addresses appear in the information preserved
  at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 8.02(a), and as to
  the approximate cost of mailing to such Certificateholders the form of
  proxy or other communication, if any, specified in such application.
 
  If the Trustee shall elect not to afford such applicants access to such
information, the Trustee shall, upon the written request of such applicants,
mail to each Certificateholder whose name and address appear in the information
preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 8.02(a), a copy
of the form of proxy or other communication which is specified in such request,
with reasonable promptness after a tender to the Trustee of the material to be
mailed and of payment, or provision for the payment, of the reasonable expenses
of mailing, unless within five days after such tender, the Trustee shall mail
to such applicants, together with a copy of the material to be mailed, a
written statement to the effect that, in the opinion of the Trustee, such
mailing would be contrary to the best interests of the Holders or would be in
violation of applicable law. Such written statement shall specify the basis of
such opinion. If the applicants shall obtain a court order, after notice to the
Trustee and opportunity for hearing, so directing the Trustee, the Trustee
shall mail copies of such material to all such Certificateholders with
reasonable promptness after the entry of such order and the renewal of the
applicants' tender.
 
  (c) Every Holder of Certificates, by receiving and holding the same, agrees
with the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee shall
be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to
the names and addresses of the Holders in accordance with Section 8.02(b),
regardless of the source from which such information was derived, and that the
Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of mailing any material
pursuant to a request made under Section 8.02(b).

  Company is not required to file information, documents or reports pursuant

                  AMENDMENTS TO INDENTURES AND NOTE DOCUMENTS
 
  Section 10.01. Amendments and Supplements to Indentures and Other Note
Documents. In the event that the Trustee, as holder of any Note in trust for
the benefit of the Certificateholders, receives a request for a consent to any
amendment, modification, waiver or supplement under any Indenture or other Note
Document or any Note Purchase Agreement, the Trustee shall forthwith send a
notice of such proposed amendment, modification, waiver or supplement, to each
Certificateholder registered on the Register as of such date. The Trustee shall
request from the Certificateholders Directions as to (i) whether or not to
direct such Indenture Trustee to take or refrain from taking any action which a
holder of such Note has the option to direct, (ii) whether or not to give or
execute any waivers, consents, amendments, modifications or supplements as a
holder of such Note and (iii) how to vote any Note if a vote has been called
for with respect thereto. Provided such a request for Certificateholder
Direction shall have been made, in directing any action or casting any vote or
giving any consent as the holder of any Note, the Trustee shall act, vote or
consent with respect to such Note in the same proportion as the Certificates
were actually voted or not voted by Acts of Holders delivered to the Trustee
prior to two Business Days before the Trustee directs such action or casts such
vote or gives such consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to
Section 6.04, in the case that an Event of Default hereunder shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, in
its own discretion and at its own direction, consent and notify the relevant
Indenture Trustee of such consent to any amendment, modification, waiver or
supplement under any Indenture or other Note Document or any Note Purchase
Agreement.

  Section 11.01. Termination of the Trust. The respective obligations and
responsibilities of the Company and the Trustee created hereby and the Trust
created hereby shall terminate upon the distribution to all Certificateholders
of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to this Trust
Agreement and the disposition of all property held

<PAGE>
                                    PTA-47 
 
as part of the Trust Property; provided, however, that in no event shall the
trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death
of the last survivor of the descendants of George Bush, former President of the
United States, living on the date of this Trust Agreement.
 
  Notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date (or Special
Distribution Date, as the case may be) upon which the Certificateholders may
surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for payment of the final
distribution and cancellation, shall be mailed promptly by the Trustee to
Certificateholders not earlier than the 60th day and not later than the 20th
day next preceding such final distribution specifying (A) the Distribution Date
(or Special Distribution Date, as the case may be) upon which final payment of
the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates
at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified, (B) the amount of any
such final payment, and (C) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such
Distribution Date (or Special Distribution Date, as the case may be) is not
applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified. The
Trustee shall give such notice to the Registrar at the time such notice is
given to Certificateholders. Upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates, the Trustee shall cause to be distributed to Certificateholders
amounts distributable on such Distribution Date or Special Distribution Date,
as the case may be, pursuant to Section 4.02.
 
  In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their
Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the
above-mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice
to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. In the
event that any money held by the Trustee for the payment of distributions on
the Certificates shall remain unclaimed for two years (or such lesser time as
the Trustee shall be satisfied, after 60 days' notice from the Company, is one
month prior to the escheat period provided under applicable law) after the
final distribution date with respect thereto, the Trustee shall pay to each
Indenture Trustee the appropriate amount of money relating to such Indenture
Trustee and shall give written notice thereof to the Owner Trustees and the
Company.

  The Certificates do not represent a direct obligation of, or an obligation
guaranteed by, or an interest in, the Company or the Trustee or any affiliate
thereof. The Certificates are limited in right of payment, all as more
specifically set forth on the face hereof and in the Agreement. All payments or
distributions made to Certificateholders under the Agreement shall be made only
from the Trust Property and only to the extent that the Trustee shall have
sufficient income or proceeds from the Trust Property to make such payments in
accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Each Holder of this Certificate, by
its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will look solely to the income and
proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent available for distribution to
such Holder as provided in the Agreement. This Certificate does not purport to
summarize the Agreement and reference is made to the Agreement for information
with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and
duties evidenced hereby. A copy of the Agreement may be examined during normal
business hours at the principal office of the Trustee, and at such other
places, if any, designated by the Trustee, by any Certificateholder upon
request.
 
  The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any
time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of
Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less
than a majority in interest in the Trust. Any such consent by the Holder of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not
notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also
permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the
consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
 
  As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Register upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or
agencies maintained by the Trustee in its capacity as Registrar, or by any
successor Registrar, in the Borough of Manhattan,a the City of New York, duly
endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Registrar duly executed by the Holder
hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one
or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.
 
  The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in minimum denominations of $1,000 Fractional Undivided Interest and
integral multiples thereof. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing

<PAGE>
                                      7 
 
the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust, as requested by
the Holder surrendering the same.
 
  No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Trustee shall require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
 
  The Trustee, the Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee or the Registrar may
treat the person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Registrar, nor any such
agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
 
  The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement and the Trust
created thereby shall terminate upon the distribution to Certificateholders of
all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to the Agreement and
the disposition of all property held as part of the Trust Property.

however, to the lien and security interest of the First Supplemental Indenture
and the Owner Trustee is authorized and directed to execute and deliver this
Indenture;

     B.   The Owner Trustee has authorized the Notes, issuable in one or more
series as may be set forth in a Supplemental Indenture hereto in accordance with
the terms of this Indenture; and to secure the Notes and to provide for the
authentication and delivery thereof by Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee has
duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Indenture;

     C.   The Owner Trustee is the owner of the Landlord Interest and shall,

     D.  The Lease has been executed and delivered contemporaneously herewith
and a memorandum in respect of the Lease will be recorded with the registry
where the Deed to the Property was recorded.

     NOW, THEREFORE, THIS INDENTURE WITNESSETH that in consideration of the
premises and all the covenants, agreements and provisions contained herein, in
the Notes and in any Supplemental Indenture entered into from time to time in
accordance with the terms of this Indenture, in each case for the uses and
purposes and subject to the terms and provisions hereof:

     IT IS HEREBY COVENANTED AND AGREED that all the Notes are to be issued and
delivered, and that all property, rights and privileges subject or to become
subject hereto are to be held subject to the further covenants, conditions, uses
and trusts herein set forth, and the Owner Trustee, intending to be legally
bound hereby, hereby covenants and agrees with the Indenture Trustee for itself
and for the equal and proportionate benefit and security of the Noteholders of
the Outstanding Notes from time to time, and the Indenture Trustee agrees to
accept the trusts and duties herein set forth, as follows:


                                   ARTICLE 1

                                   PROVISIONS
                             OF GENERAL APPLICATION

     SECTION 1.1  Definitions.   Unless the context shall otherwise require,
                  -----------                                               
each of the capitalized terms used in this Indenture and not otherwise defined
in this Indenture shall have the meaning assigned to it in Appendix A, and the
rules of usage set forth in Appendix A shall apply thereto.  As used in this
Indenture, the term "parties" means, collectively, the Owner Trustee and the
                     -------                                                
Indenture Trustee.  Unless otherwise indicated, references in this Indenture to
articles, sections, paragraphs, clauses, appendices, schedules and exhibits are
to the same contained in or attached to this Indenture.

     SECTION 1.2  Compliance Certificates and Opinions.   Every request or
                  ------------------------------------                    
application by the Owner Trustee for action by the Indenture Trustee shall,
except with respect to requests for the delivery of documentation, be
accompanied by an Officers' Certificate of the Owner Trustee stating that, to
the best knowledge of the Person making such certificate, the conditions
precedent, if any, to such action provided for in this Indenture have been
complied with.

     SECTION 1.3  Form of Documents Delivered to the Indenture Trustee.  In  any
                  ----------------------------------------------------          
case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by, an
opinion of any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be
certified by, or covered by, only
<PAGE>
 
                                       3

one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to
some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any
such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several
documents.

     Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Owner Trustee may be based,
insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon an Opinion of Counsel, unless such
officer actually knows that such opinion with respect to the matters upon which
such certificate or opinion is based is erroneous.  Any such opinion may be
based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion
of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Owner Trustee stating
that the information with respect to such factual matters is in possession of
the Owner Trustee, unless such counsel actually knows that the certificate or
opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

     Any Opinion of Counsel stated to be based on the opinion of other counsel
shall be accompanied by a copy of such other opinion.

     Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more
applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other
instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and
form one instrument.

     SECTION 1.4  Acts of Noteholders; Record Dates.
                  --------------------------------- 

          (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by
Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of
substantially similar tenor, signed by such Noteholders in person or by an agent
duly appointed in writing and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided,
such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are
delivered to the Indenture Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required,
to the Owner Trustee and Tenant.  Such instrument or instruments (and the action
embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the
"Act" of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments.  Proof of
 ---                                                                      
execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall
be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and, subject to Section 9.1,
conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, if made in
the manner provided in this Section 1.4.

          (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved (1) by the certificate of any notary public
or other officer of any jurisdiction authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds
or administer oaths that the Person executing such instrument acknowledged to
him the execution thereof; (2) by a notarized affidavit of a witness to such
execution; or (3) by having the signature guaranteed by an "eligible guarantor
institution", as that term is defined in Rule 17Ad-15 under the Securities
Exchange Act.  The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or
<PAGE>
 
                                       4

writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved
in any such manner which the Indenture Trustee deems sufficient, and where such
execution is by an officer of a corporation or association or a member of a
partnership on behalf of such corporation, association or partnership, such
certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his
authority.

          (c) The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register.

          (d) The Owner Trustee may fix any date as the record date for the
purpose of determining the Noteholders entitled to give or take any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, or to
vote on any action, authorized or permitted to be given or taken by Noteholders,
which date shall be no more than 60 days before the first solicitation of a
Noteholder made by any Person with respect to any such action.  If not set by
the Owner Trustee prior to the first solicitation of a Noteholder made by any
Person with respect to any such action or, in the case of any such vote, prior
to such vote, the record date for any such action or vote shall be the 30th day
(or, if later, the date of the most recent list of Noteholders required to be
provided pursuant to Section 10.1) prior to the first solicitation or vote, as
the case may be.  With regard to any record date, only the Noteholders on such
date (or their duly designated proxies) shall be entitled to give or take, or
vote on, the relevant action.

          (e) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action by any Noteholder shall bind every other holder of a Note
issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof,
whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

          (f) Without limiting the foregoing, a Noteholder entitled hereunder to
give or take any such action with regard to any particular Note may do so with
regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Note or by one or more
duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with
regard to all or any different part of such principal amount.

     SECTION 1.5  Requests, Etc., to the Indenture Trustee, Tenant, the Owner
                  -----------------------------------------------------------
Trustee and the Owner Participant.  Any request, demand, authorization,

direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders or other document
provided for or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished
to, or filed with the following Persons, shall be sufficient if in writing and

transmission (with request for assurance of receipt in a manner typical with
respect to communications of that type), and shall be deemed given upon receipt

copies thereof to each of the other parties named above, and whenever the
Indenture Trustee shall send any notice, report, certificate, opinion or other

     SECTION 1.6  Notices to Noteholders; Waiver.  Where this Indenture provides
                  ------------------------------                                
for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given
(unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-
class postage prepaid, to each Noteholder, at such Person's address as it
appears in the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier
than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice.  Where this
Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in
writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after
the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice.  Waivers of
notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee, but such filing
shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in
reliance upon such waiver.

     In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the
failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any
particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect
to other Noteholders, and any notice which is mailed in the manner herein
provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given.

     SECTION 1.7  Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.  The Article and
                  ----------------------------------------

representations and warranties in this Indenture by the Indenture Trustee and
the Owner Trustee shall bind and, to the extent permitted hereby, shall inure to
the benefit of and be enforceable by their respective successors and assigns,
whether so expressed or not.

     SECTION 1.9  Separability Clause.  In case any provision in this Indenture
                  -------------------

successors and permitted assigns and the Noteholders, any benefit or any legal
or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

     SECTION 1.12  Legal Holidays.  In any case where any Installment Payment
                   --------------                                            
Date, Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date or the Stated Maturity of any
Note, or any date on which any Defaulted Installment or Defaulted Interest is
proposed to be paid, shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any
other provision of this Indenture) payment of interest or principal, and the
Make-Whole Premium, if any, need not be made on such date, and if not made on
such date shall instead be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the
same force and effect as if made on the Installment Payment Date, Interest
Payment Date or Redemption Date or at the Stated Maturity of such Note, or on
the date on which the Defaulted Interest is proposed to be paid, and, provided
that such payment is so made on such next succeeding Business Day, no interest
shall accrue for the period from and after such Installment Payment Date,
Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, or date for the
payment of any Defaulted Installment or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be,
to and including such next succeeding Business Day.

Affiliate of the foregoing shall have any liability for any obligations of the
Owner Trustee under this Indenture or for any claim based on, or in respect of
or by reason of such obligations or their creation.  Each Noteholder by
accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability.  The waiver and release
are part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes.

omissions, substitutions or variations, and may have imprinted or otherwise
reproduced thereon such legend or legends, not inconsistent with the provisions

the Owner Trustee by any of its Authorized Officers and attested by any of its
Authorized Officers but the same officer shall not execute and attest the same
Note.  The signature of any of such Authorized Officers on the Notes may be
manual or facsimile.

     Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at

signed by a Responsible Officer, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, temporary Notes which are printed, lithographed, typewritten,
mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any denomination, substantially of the
tenor of the definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such
appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as may be
appropriate for temporary Notes, all as may be determined by the officers
executing such Notes with the concurrence of the Indenture Trustee.

     If temporary Notes of any series are issued, definitive Notes of such
series will be prepared without unreasonable delay.  After the preparation of
definitive Notes, the temporary Notes held by any Noteholder shall be
exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at any
office or agency to be maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 5.3,
without charge to such Noteholder.  Upon surrender or cancellation of any one or

amount of definitive Notes of the same series with the same interest rate,
Installment Payment Dates and Stated Maturity in authorized denominations.
Until so exchanged the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the
same security and benefits under this Indenture as definitive Notes.

transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of the same series with the
same interest rate, Interest Payment Dates, Installment Payment Dates and Stated
Maturity as the Notes so to be transferred for a like aggregate principal
amount, in any authorized denominations and bearing numbers not
contemporaneously outstanding.

     At the option of any Noteholder, Notes may be exchanged for an equal
aggregate principal amount of Notes of the same series with the same interest
rate, Interest Payment Dates, Installment Payment Dates and Stated Maturity as

Trustee may pay the same without surrender thereof.  Any indemnity bond shall
name as obligees the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and, if requested by
the Owner Trustee, any Paying Agent.  Any duplicate Note issued pursuant to this

income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit

due to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture and the other Operative
Documents in connection with such redemption have been received.

     (c) Any redemption notice with respect to an optional redemption of the
Notes pursuant to Section 6.1(b)(v) or 6.1(b)(vi) and to which moneys sufficient
to pay the principal of, the Make-Whole Premium, if any, and interest on such
Notes on the Redemption Date of such Notes shall not have been deposited with
the Indenture Trustee, shall state, and it shall be the case that, unless, upon

available funds sufficient to pay the principal of, the Make-Whole Premium, if
any, and interest on such Notes to be redeemed, and that if such moneys shall
not have been so received, such notice of redemption shall be of no force and

interest.  Upon surrender of such Notes for redemption in accordance with such
notice, such Notes shall be paid at the Redemption Price, exclusive, however, of
installments of interest maturing on or prior to the Redemption Date payment of
which shall have been made or duly provided for to the Noteholders registered as
such on the relevant Record Dates, or otherwise, according to the terms and the
provisions of Section 2.7.

     Except as provided in Section 6.4(c), if any Note called for redemption
shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption because the Indenture
Trustee shall not have received pursuant to Section 6.4 an amount of money
sufficient to pay the Redemption Price for such Note, the principal and the
Make-Whole Premium, if any, and (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) any
accrued interest thereon shall, until paid, continue to bear interest from the
Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Note in respect of overdue payments.

     delivered to such persons in connection with the issuance of similar
     secured debt securities; and

Estate and, so long as any Pass Through Certificates remain outstanding, the
Indenture Trustee shall have received a supplemental title insurance policy or
endorsement to the then existing policy, in either case, evidencing that the
condition of the first clause of this Section 7.1(h) has been met.

     If all of the foregoing conditions are satisfied, then, automatically and
without the requirement of further action by any Person, effective as of the
Exchange Date, the Owner Trustee shall be released from all of its obligations
under this Indenture in respect of the exchanged Notes or otherwise (other than
any obligations or liabilities of the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity
incurred on or prior to the Exchange Date or arising out of or based upon events
occurring on or prior to the Exchange Date, which obligations and liabilities
shall remain the sole responsibility of the Owner Trustee).  Any Notes that are
not actually surrendered and cancelled shall be deemed to have been so
surrendered and cancelled and exchanged for the new securities issued in
accordance with this Section 7.1.

     SECTION 8.2  Acceleration upon Notice; Rescission.
                  ------------------------------------ 

     (a) Subject to Section 8.2(b), during the continuance of any Indenture
Event of Default and subject to the provisions of Section 8.4 hereof and Section
2.12 of the First Supplemental Indenture, the Indenture Trustee, in its
discretion may (or when so directed by the Holders of 25% of the principal
amount of the Notes Outstanding shall) or the Holders of 25% of the principal
amount of the Notes Outstanding may, in any such case, by notice in writing to
Tenant and the Owner Trustee (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by
Noteholders), declare the principal of all the Outstanding Notes and the
interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, and thereupon the
same shall become immediately due and payable without the Make-Whole Premium.
Upon any exercise of remedies by the Owner Trustee under the circumstances and
as permitted by subparagraph (cc) of the Granting Clause that results in the
termination of the Lease, acceleration of Rent due thereunder or a demand under
Article 21(d) of the Lease, then, in such case, the Indenture Trustee shall be
deemed to have declared the principal of all Outstanding Notes to be due and
payable without the Make-Whole Premium upon the receipt by the Indenture Trustee
of any payments pursuant to such provisions.

     (b) If (i) an Indenture Event of Default referred to in Section 8.1(e) or
(f) shall have occurred, (ii) an Event of Default referred to in Article 20(v)
of the Lease shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the 270-day
period referred to in Section 2.1 of the First Supplemental Indenture expires or
(iii) the Landlord Interests are sold or otherwise transferred to any Person
other than as expressly provided in Section 2(d) of the Participation Agreement,
then, and in every such case, the unpaid principal of the Outstanding Notes,
together with interest accrued but unpaid thereon without the Make-Whole
Premium, and all other amounts due hereunder shall immediately and without
further act become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or
notice, all of which are hereby waived.

     (c) At any time after such acceleration and before any sale of the
Indenture Estate as relating to any series of Notes, or any part thereof, shall
have been made pursuant to any sale as hereinafter in this Article 8 provided, a
Majority in Interest of Noteholders by Directive delivered to Tenant, the Owner
Trustee, the Owner Participant and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul
such declaration and its consequences if (i) there shall have been paid to or
deposited with the Indenture Trustee a sum sufficient to pay (A) all overdue
<PAGE>
 
                                      36

installments of interest on all Notes, (B) the principal of and the Make-Whole
Premium, if any, on any Notes which have become due otherwise than by such
acceleration and interest thereon at the respective rates provided in the Notes
for late payments of principal or the Make-Whole Premium and (C) to the extent
that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue installments of
interest at the respective rates provided in the Notes for late payments of
interest; and (ii) all Indenture Events of Default, other than the non-payment
of the principal of Notes which have become due solely by such acceleration,
have been cured or waived as provided in Section 8.3.   No such rescission shall
affect any subsequent Indenture Event of Default or impair any right consequent
thereon.

     SECTION 8.3  Waiver of Past Defaults.  Upon receipt of a Directive from a
                  -----------------------                                     
Majority in Interest of Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee shall waive any past
Indenture Default and its consequences and upon any such waiver such Indenture
Default shall cease to exist, and any Indenture Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this
Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Indenture
Default or impair any right consequent thereon; provided, however, that, in the
                                                --------  -------              
absence of written instructions from the Noteholders of all Notes then
Outstanding, the Indenture Trustee shall not waive any Indenture Default in the
payment of the principal of, the Make-Whole Premium, if any, or interest on, or
other amounts due under, any Note then Outstanding, or in respect of a covenant
or provision hereof that, under Article 11, cannot be modified or amended
without the consent of each Noteholder.

     SECTION 8.4  Note Purchase.
                  ------------- 

     (a)  INTENTIONALLY DELETED.

     (b)  INTENTIONALLY DELETED.

     (c)  In the event that at any time one or more Indenture Events of Default
caused by an Event of Default shall have occurred and (i) any such Indenture
Event of Default shall have continued for a period of 180 days or more during
which time the Notes shall not have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.2,
(ii) the Indenture Trustee shall have given 15 days written notice to the Owner
Trustee of the Indenture Trustee's intent to accelerate the Notes pursuant to
Section 8.2(a) (which notice the Indenture Trustee hereby agrees to give prior
to any such acceleration) or (iii) the Notes shall have been accelerated
pursuant to Section 8.2(b), the Owner Trustee may, at its option, give at least
25 days' notice to the Indenture Trustee that the Owner Trustee will purchase or
redeem, on the date specified in such notice, all of the Outstanding Notes in
accordance with this Section 8.4(c), and concurrently with the delivery of such
notice, deposit with the Indenture Trustee, whether or not such Indenture Event
of Default is then continuing, the purchase or redemption price of such
Outstanding Notes, which purchase or redemption price shall be equal to the sum
of (A) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of any unpaid Notes then
Outstanding, plus
<PAGE>
 
                                      37

(B) accrued but unpaid interest thereon to the date of such purchase or
redemption (as well as any interest on overdue principal) plus (C) any other
amounts then due and payable to each Noteholder hereunder, plus (D) in the event
that the Owner Trustee delivers such notice to the Indenture Trustee prior to
the earliest of (1) the giving by the Indenture Trustee of the notice described
in clause (ii) of this Section 8.4(c), (2) acceleration of the Notes pursuant to
Section 8.2(b) or (3) 270 days from the Event of Default that caused such
Indenture Event of Default, the Make-Whole Premium with respect to such Notes.
Upon payment to the Indenture Trustee of such amounts, the Indenture Trustee
will terminate any foreclosure proceedings then in progress and each Noteholder
will be deemed to sell, assign, transfer and convey to the Owner Trustee
(without recourse or warranty of any kind other than of title to the Notes so
conveyed) all of the right, title and interest of such Noteholder in and to the
Indenture Estate, this Indenture, and all Notes held by such Noteholder. On and
after the date of payment of such amount to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee shall no longer treat the former Noteholders as the "Noteholders,"
except for purposes of the Noteholder's right to receive their respective
portions of the amounts paid to the Indenture Trustee as aforesaid, and on such
date the Note Registrar shall register the transfer of ownership of the Notes
into the name of the Owner Trustee or its designee.

          (d) The provisions of this Section 8.4 shall not apply during any
period when Tenant is either an Owner Participant or otherwise controls the
Owner Trustee.

refraining from acting in reliance upon any resolution, certificate, statement,

direction of any of the Noteholders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such

discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or
matters as it may see fit, and, if the Indenture Trustee shall determine to make
such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the
relevant books, records and premises of the Owner Trustee, personally or by

breach of contract) or gross negligence, or, in the case of the holding or
transfer of funds, negligence.

          (i) For all purposes of this Indenture, in the absence of actual
knowledge of an Authorized Officer of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of an Indenture Default (except
the failure of Tenant to pay any installment of Basic Rent when the same shall

     Trustee and substantially conforming to the requirements of this Indenture.
     However, the Indenture Trustee shall examine these certificates and
     opinions to determine whether or not they substantially conform to the
     requirements of this Indenture.

          (k) If an Indenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
the Indenture Trustee shall exercise its rights and powers under this Indenture,
and shall use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent
man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own
affairs.

          (l) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the
Indenture Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent
failure to act or its willful misconduct except that:

     provisions of clause (j);

              (ii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any error of

     available to the Indenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power
     conferred upon the Indenture Trustee, under this Indenture; and

              (iv) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Indenture
     Trustee (A) to do anything contrary to law or to the provisions of any
     Operative Document to which it is a party, (B) to expend or risk its own
     funds or otherwise incur any
<PAGE>
 
                                      40
     financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or
     in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable
     grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity
     against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it or (C) to
     execute any document or take any action that it shall reasonably determine,
     or shall have been advised by counsel, is likely to result in personal
     liability on the part of the Indenture Trustee, unless it shall be
     indemnified to its satisfaction.

gain realized upon maturity, sale or other disposition of any Permitted
Investment shall be held as part of the Indenture Estate and shall be applied by
the Indenture Trustee at the same time, on the same conditions and in the same

respective obligations with respect to the compensation and reimbursement of the
Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall have, and the Owner Trustee
hereby grants to the Indenture Trustee, a lien on the Indenture Estate with
respect to the Landlord Interest, second only to the lien created by this

negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in
connection with the acceptance or administration of the trusts created hereunder
or the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of
defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise
or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder but only to the extent
such loss, liability or expense is indemnified by Tenant pursuant to Sections 23

          (b) The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by giving written
notice thereof to the Owner Trustee and Tenant.  If an instrument of acceptance
by a successor Indenture Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Owner
Trustee, Tenant and the Indenture Trustee within 30 days after the giving of
such notice of resignation, the resigning Indenture Trustee may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture
Trustee or any Noteholder who has been a Noteholder for at least six months may,
subject to the provisions of Sections 2.5 and 2.6 of the First Supplemental
Indenture, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any
such court for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.  Such court may
thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe,
appoint a successor Indenture Trustee.

          (c) The Indenture Trustee may be removed at any time by a Directive
delivered to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and Tenant.

                                      43
          (d)  If at any time:

               (i)  the Indenture Trustee shall cease to be eligible under
     Section 9.6 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the
     Owner Trustee or by such Noteholder, or

               (ii) the Indenture Trustee shall become incapable of acting or
     shall be adjudged a bankrupt or a insolvent, or a receiver of the Indenture
     Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall
     take charge or control of the Indenture Trustee or of its property or
     affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

then, in any such case, (A) the Owner Trustee, acting after consultation with
Tenant, may remove the Indenture Trustee or (B) subject to Sections 2.5 and 2.6
of the First Supplemental Indenture, unless the Indenture Trustee's duty to
resign is stayed as provided in the Trust Indenture Act, any Noteholder who has
been a bona fide Noteholder for at least six months may, on behalf of himself
       ---- ----                                                             
and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction
for the removal of the Indenture Trustee and the appointment of a successor
Indenture Trustee.  Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it
may deem proper, remove the Indenture Trustee and appoint a successor Indenture
Trustee.

          (e) If the Indenture Trustee shall resign, be removed or become
incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Indenture
Trustee for any cause, the Owner Trustee, acting after consultation with Tenant,
shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee.  If, within one year after
such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a
successor Indenture Trustee shall be appointed pursuant to a Directive of a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes delivered to the Owner
Trustee, Tenant and the retiring Indenture Trustee, the successor Indenture
Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment,
become the successor Indenture Trustee and supersede the successor Indenture
Trustee appointed by the Owner Trustee.  If no successor Indenture Trustee shall
have been so appointed by the Owner Trustee (acting after consultation with
Tenant) or the Noteholders and accepted appointment in the manner provided in
Section 9.8, any Noteholder who has been a bona fide Noteholder for at least six
                                           ---- ----                            
months may, subject to the provisions of Sections 2.5 and 2.6 of the First
Supplemental Indenture, on behalf of himself and all other similarly situated,
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Indenture Trustee.  Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it
may deem proper, appoint a successor Indenture Trustee.

          (f) The Owner Trustee shall give notice of each resignation and each
removal of the Indenture Trustee and each appointment of a successor Indenture
Trustee by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage
prepaid, to the Noteholders

                                      44

include the name of the successor Indenture Trustee and the address of the
Indenture Trustee Office.

     SECTION 9.8  Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.  Every successor
                  --------------------------------------                  
Indenture Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to
the Owner Trustee, Tenant and to the retiring Indenture Trustee an instrument
accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective and such successor Indenture
Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with
all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Indenture Trustee; but
on request of the Owner Trustee or the successor Indenture Trustee, such
retiring Indenture Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and
deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Indenture Trustee all the
rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Indenture Trustee, and it shall duly
assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Indenture Trustee all property
and money held by such retiring Indenture Trustee hereunder, subject
nevertheless to its lien, if any, provided for in Section 9.5.  Upon request of
any such successor Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee shall execute any and
all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such
successor Indenture Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts.

     No successor Indenture Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the
time of such acceptance such successor Indenture Trustee shall be qualified and
eligible under this Article.

     SECTION 9.9  Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.
                  -----------------------------------------------------------  
Any corporation into which the Indenture Trustee may be merged or converted or
with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party, or
any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust
business of the Indenture Trustee, shall be the successor of the Indenture
Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and
eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.  In case any Notes shall
have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Indenture Trustee then in
office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such
authenticating  Indenture Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the
Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Indenture
Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes.

     SECTION 9.10  Maintenance of Agencies.
                   ----------------------- 

          (a) Any Paying Agent (other than the Indenture Trustee) from time to
time appointed hereunder shall execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee an
instrument in which said Paying Agent shall agree with the Indenture Trustee,
subject to the provisions of this section, that such Paying Agent will:
<PAGE>
 
                                      45

               (i)    hold all sums held by it for the payment of principal of,
     the Make-Whole Premium, if any, and interest on Notes in trust for the
     benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to
     such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

               (ii)   give the Indenture Trustee within five days thereafter
     notice of any default in the making of any payment of principal, the Make-
     Whole Premium, if any, or interest on the Notes; and

               (iii)  at any time during the continuance of any such default,
     upon the written request of the Indenture Trustee, forthwith pay to the
     Indenture Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, any payment required to
be made to or received or held by the Indenture Trustee may, to the extent
authorized by written instructions of the Indenture Trustee, be made to or
received or held by a Paying Agent for the account of the Indenture Trustee.

          (b) From time to time the Indenture Trustee for the Notes of any
series may, subject to its sole discretion, appoint one or more Authenticating
Agents with respect to the Notes of such series, with power to act on the
Indenture Trustee's behalf and subject to its discretion in the authentication
and delivery of the Notes of such series in connection with transfers and
exchanges under Sections 2.4, 2.5, 2.10 and 6.6 as fully to all intents and
purposes as though such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized by
those Sections of the Indenture to authenticate and deliver the Notes of such
series.  For all purposes of the Indenture, the authentication and delivery of
Notes of such series by an Authenticating Agent for such Notes pursuant to this
Section 9.10 shall be deemed to be authentication and delivery of such Notes "by
the Indenture Trustee."  Any such Authenticating Agent shall at all times be a
Person that is eligible to act as an Indenture Trustee hereunder pursuant to the
provisions of Section 9.6.  If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease
to be so eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6, such
Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
specified in this Section 9.10.

          (c) If an appointment of an Authenticating Agent with respect to one
or more series of Notes is made pursuant to this Section 9.10, the Notes may
have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Indenture Trustee's certification of
authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in the following
form:

be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of any
Authorized Agent shall be the successor of such Authorized Agent hereunder, if
such successor corporation is otherwise eligible under this Section, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any  further act on the part of the parties
hereto or such Authorized Agent or such successor corporation.

          (e) Any Authorized Agent may at any time resign by giving written
notice of resignation to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee.  The Owner
Trustee may, and at the request of the Indenture Trustee shall, at any time,
terminate the agency of any Authorized Agent by giving written notice of
termination to such Authorized Agent and to the Indenture Trustee.  Upon the
resignation or termination of an Authorized Agent or in case at any time any
such Authorized Agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section (which, in
either case, no other Authorized Agent performing the functions of such
Authorized Agent shall have been appointed), the Owner Trustee shall promptly
appoint one or more qualified successor Authorized Agents approved by the
Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee to perform the functions of the
Authorized Agent who has resigned or whose agency has been terminated or who
shall have ceased to be eligible under this Section.  The Indenture Trustee
shall give written notice of any such appointment to all Noteholders as their
names and addresses appear on the Note Register.

     SECTION 9.11  Co-Indenture Trustee or Separate Trustee.
                   ---------------------------------------- 

          (a) If at any time or times it shall be necessary or prudent in order
to conform to any law of any jurisdiction in which property shall be held
subject to the lien of a Supplemental Indenture, or the Indenture Trustee shall
be advised by counsel, satisfactory to it, that it is necessary, prudent or
convenient in the interest of the Noteholders, or upon receipt of a Directive,
the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver all
instruments and agreements necessary or proper to constitute another bank or
trust company or one or more Persons approved by the Indenture Trustee either to
act as co-trustee or co-trustees of all or any part of the Indenture Estate
jointly with the Indenture Trustee originally named herein or any successor or
successors, or to act as separate trustee or trustees of all or any such
property.   In the event the Owner Trustee shall have not joined in the
execution of such instruments and agreements within 10 days after the receipt of
a written request from the Indenture Trustee to do so, or in case an Indenture
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee
may act under the foregoing provisions of this Section without the concurrence
of the Owner Trustee upon giving written notice to the Owner Trustee of the name
and address of such proposed additional trustee; and the Owner Trustee hereby
appoints the Indenture Trustee its agent and attorney to act for it under the
foregoing provisions of this Section in either of such contingencies; provided,
                                                                      -------- 
however, that within 90 days following any appointment of an additional trustee
- -------                                                                        
without the concurrence of the Owner Trustee, the Owner Trustee may, after
consultation with Tenant, if there shall not have occurred and be continuing an
Indenture Event of Default, remove such additional trustee by written notice to
the Indenture Trustee, the additional trustee and Tenant.

          (b)  Every additional trustee hereunder shall, to the extent permitted
by law, be appointed and act, and such additional trustee and its successors
shall act, subject to the following provisions and conditions, namely:

          (i)   the Notes shall be authenticated and delivered, and all powers,
     duties, obligations and rights conferred upon the Indenture Trustee in
     respect of the custody, control and management of moneys, papers or
     securities, shall be exercised, solely by the Indenture Trustee;

          (ii)  all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed
     upon the Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised
     or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such additional trustee or
     trustees jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any
     jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the
     Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act
     or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall
     be exercised and performed by such additional trustee or trustees;
<PAGE>
 
                                      48
          (iii)  no power given hereby to, or which it is provided hereby may be
     exercised by, any such additional trustee or trustees, shall be exercised
     hereunder by such additional trustee or trustees, except jointly with, or
     with the consent in writing of, the Indenture Trustee, anything herein
     contained to the contrary notwithstanding;

          (iv)   no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of
     any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and

          (v)    after consultation with Tenant, the Owner Trustee and the
     Indenture Trustee, at any time by an instrument in writing, executed by
     them jointly, may remove any such additional trustee, and in that case, by
     an instrument in writing executed by them jointly, may appoint a successor
     or successors to such additional trustee or trustees, as the case may be,
     anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding.  In the event
     that the Owner Trustee shall not have joined in the execution of any such
     instrument within 10 days after the receipt of a written request from the
     Indenture Trustee to do so, the Indenture Trustee shall have the power to
     remove any such additional trustee and to appoint a successor additional
     trustee without the concurrence of the Owner Trustee; and the Owner Trustee
     hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee, its agent and attorney to act for it
     in such connection in such contingency; provided, however, that, if there
                                             --------  -------                
     shall not have occurred and be continuing an Indenture Event of Default,
     within 90 days following any appointment of a successor additional trustee
     without the concurrence of the Owner Trustee, the Owner Trustee may, after
     consultation with Tenant, remove such successor additional trustee by
     written notice to the Indenture Trustee and the successor additional
     trustee.  In the event that the Indenture Trustee alone shall have
     appointed an additional trustee or trustees as above provided, it may at
     any time, by an instrument in writing, remove any such additional trustee,
     the successor to any such additional trustee so removed to be appointed by
     the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, or by the Indenture Trustee
     alone, as hereinbefore in this Section provided, subject to the aforesaid
     right of the Owner Trustee, if there shall not have occurred and be
     continuing an Indenture Event of Default, to remove, after consultation
     with Tenant, such additional trustee within 90 days after such appointment.

     SECTION 9.12  Withholding Taxes.  The Indenture Trustee agrees to exclude
                   -----------------                                          
and withhold from each payment received by the Indenture Trustee of principal,
the Make-Whole Premium, if any, and interest and other amounts due hereunder or
under the Notes any and all withholding taxes applicable thereto as required by
law.  The Indenture Trustee agrees to act as such withholding agent and, in
connection therewith, whenever any present or future taxes or similar charges
are required to be withheld with respect to any amounts payable in respect of
the Notes, to withhold such amounts and timely pay the same to the appropriate
authority in the name and on behalf of the Holders of the Notes, that it will
file any necessary withholding tax returns or statements when due, and that, as
promptly as possible
<PAGE>
 
                                      49

after the payment thereof, it will deliver to each holder of a Note appropriate
documentation showing the payment thereof, together with such additional
documentary evidence as such holders may reasonably request from time to time.
By acceptance of a Note, each Noteholder is deemed to agree that no such
withholding shall give rise to an Indenture Default or Indenture Event of
Default.

Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the
most recent list delivered to it pursuant to this Section 10.1, as the case may

Tenant to terminate the Lease upon the occurrence of an insubstantial casualty

foregoing provisions which would contradict or alter any such provision in a
manner that would be prohibited as set forth above; or (iii) the Tripartite
Agreement or the Option Agreement if the result thereof would be a material
diminution of the rights or interests granted Landlord thereby.

nonexclusive basis with the Indenture Trustee to (i) enforce any covenant or

Rent and (iv) take any action under Article 41 of the Lease.

the Operative Documents may modify, amend or supplement any of such Operative
Documents (other than this First Supplemental Indenture or the Original
Indenture) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner
or eliminating any of the provisions thereof or modifying in any manner the
rights of the respective parties thereunder or may give any consent or waiver
thereunder; provided, however, that no such modification, amendment, supplement,
            --------  -------                                                   
consent or waiver shall, without the consent of each Noteholder affected
thereby, modify, amend or supplement, or give any consent in respect of or waive
any provision of, the Lease in such manner (i) as to reduce the amounts payable

for the payment thereof, so that such payments are less than the amounts
necessary to pay the principal of, the Make-Whole Premium, if any, and interest
on the Outstanding Notes when due (whether at maturity, upon acceleration or
otherwise) or (ii) as would release Tenant from its obligation in respect of
payment of Rent, Termination Value or any other amount payable under the Lease

                     INDENTURE EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES

          SECTION 2.1  Enforcement of Remedies.
                       ----------------------- 

          (a) Subject to Section 8.4 of the Original Indenture, Section 2.12
hereof and the limitations set forth in this Section 2.1(a), if an Indenture
Event of Default that arises out of an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, then in every such case the Indenture Trustee, as assignee and
grantee or secured party hereunder or otherwise, may, to the extent permitted by
Applicable Law, exercise any or all of the rights and powers and pursue any or
all of the remedies set forth in Section 2.1(b); provided, however, that,
                                                 --------  -------       
notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Indenture Trustee
shall not exercise any remedies against the Indenture Estate seeking to deprive
the Owner Trustee of its interests therein unless a declaration of acceleration
has been made pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Original Indenture.  Any provision
of the Lease, the Original Indenture, this First Supplemental Indenture or any
other Operative Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the Indenture Trustee
shall not foreclose the lien of this First Supplemental Indenture or otherwise
exercise remedies which would result in the exclusion of the Owner Trustee from
the Indenture Estate or any substantial part thereof demised as a result of any
Indenture Event of Default that arises solely by reason of one or more events or
circumstances that constitute an Event of Default under the Lease unless either
(i) the Indenture Trustee has exercised or is currently exercising remedies
under Article 21 of the Lease involving termination of the Lease or termination
of Tenant's right to possession thereunder or (ii) (A) such Event of Default
shall have continued for a period of at least 270 days and (B) a stay is in
effect prohibiting the exercise of such remedies as of the expiration of such
270 day period.

          (b) In the event of an occurrence of any Indenture Event of Default
and an acceleration of the Series * Notes pursuant to, and in accordance with,
Section 8.2 of the Original Indenture, then, subject to Sections 2.1(a) and 2.12
hereof and Section 8.4 of the Original Indenture, the Indenture Trustee may,
subject to the rights of Tenant under Section 2.7, without notice to or demand
upon the Owner Trustee, which are expressly waived by
<PAGE>
 
                                      11

the Owner Trustee (except for notices or demands otherwise required by
Applicable Law to the extent not effectively waived by the Owner Trustee and any
notices or demands specified below), and without releasing any Secured
Obligations, exercise any one or more of the following remedies as the Indenture
Trustee may determine:

          (i) The Indenture Trustee may, either directly or through an agent or
     court-appointed receiver, and without regard to the adequacy of any
     security for the Secured Obligations, exercise any or all of the rights and
     powers and pursue any or all of the remedies under the Lease (including
     Article 21 thereof) and, in connection therewith, corresponding remedies
     under this Section 2.1(b), and may take possession of all or part of the
     Indenture Estate and may exclude the Owner Trustee and Tenant and, to the
     extent permitted by Applicable Law, all Persons claiming under either of
     them wholly or partly therefrom.

          (ii) The Indenture Trustee may enter upon and take possession of any
     or all of the Indenture Estate, and lease and let the Indenture Estate, or
     any part thereof, and receive all the rents (including Basic Rent), issues
     and profits thereof which are overdue, due or to become due, and apply the
     same, after payment of all reasonably necessary charges and expenses, on
     account of the Series * Notes, and the Indenture Trustee is hereby given
     and granted full power and authority to do any act or thing which the Owner
     Trustee might or could do in connection with the management and operation
     of any or all of the Indenture Estate.  This covenant shall become
     effective either with or without any action brought to foreclose this First
     Supplemental Indenture and without applying at any time for a receiver of
     such rents.

          (iii)  The Indenture Trustee may institute an action of mortgage
     foreclosure, or take other action as the law may allow, at law or in
     equity, for the enforcement of this First Supplemental Indenture, and
     proceed thereon to final judgment and execution of the entire unpaid
     balance of the Series * Notes which is then due and payable including costs
     of suit, interest and reasonable attorneys' fees.  In case of any sale of
     the Indenture Estate by virtue of judicial proceedings, the Indenture
     Estate may be sold in one parcel and as an entirety or in such parcels,
     manner or order as the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may elect.
     Subject to the rights of Tenant, the failure to make any tenants parties
     defendant to a foreclosure proceeding and to foreclose their rights will
     not be asserted by the Owner Trustee as a defense in any proceeding
     instituted by the Indenture Trustee to realize upon the Indenture Estate.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is an Event of Default under the
     Lease, unless it is legally constrained from doing so, the Indenture
     Trustee will join Tenant as a party defendant in any foreclosure action.

          (iv) The Indenture Trustee may appoint a receiver of the rents, issues
     and profits of the Indenture Estate without the necessity of proving either
     the depreciation
<PAGE>
 
                                      12

     or the inadequacy of the value of the security or the insolvency of the
     Owner Trustee or any Person who may be legally or equitably liable to pay
     moneys secured hereby, or any other statutory grounds for such appointment,
     and the Owner Trustee and each such Person waive such proof and hereby
     consent to the appointment of a receiver.

          (v) In the event the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant, or any
     Affiliate of either of them, is in fact (not constructively) physically
     occupying the Indenture Estate, or any part thereof, it is hereby agreed
     that the Owner Trustee shall pay such reasonable rental monthly in advance
     as the Indenture Trustee shall demand for the Indenture Estate, or the part
     so occupied, and the use of personalty covered by this First Supplemental
     Indenture, such amounts to be applied in accordance with Section 4.3 of the
     Original Indenture.

          (vi) The Indenture Trustee may apply on account of the Series * Notes
     and the interest and Make-Whole Premium, if any, thereon or on account of
     any arrearage of interest thereon, or on account of any balance due
     pursuant to the Series * Notes or after a foreclosure sale of the Indenture
     Estate, or any part thereof, all in accordance with the provisions of
     Section 4.3 of the Original Indenture, any unexpended moneys other than
     Excepted Payments still retained by the Indenture Trustee that were paid to
     the Indenture Trustee by Tenant pursuant to the Lease or otherwise or by
     the Owner Trustee for the payment of, or as security for the payment of,
     taxes, assessments, municipal or governmental rates, charges, liens, water
     or sewer rents, or insurance premiums, if any, or in order to secure the
     performance of some other act by or obligation of the Owner Trustee or
     Tenant.

          (vii)  The Indenture Trustee may exercise all rights and remedies of a
     secured party pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code, as it is currently
     constituted or may hereafter be amended.

          (viii)  The Indenture Trustee may exercise any and all other rights
     and remedies granted under this First Supplemental Indenture or the
     Original Indenture or now or hereafter existing in equity, at law, by
     virtue of statute or otherwise.

          (c) Anything to the contrary provided in this First Supplemental
Indenture or the Original Indenture notwithstanding, the Indenture Trustee shall
not exercise any remedy hereunder other than the commencement of an action for
judicial foreclosure of the lien of this First Supplemental Indenture unless the
Indenture Trustee shall either (i) simultaneously and in conjunction with the
exercise of such remedy, commence and pursue an action for judicial foreclosure
of the lien of this First Supplemental Indenture or (ii) deliver to the Owner
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in form and from counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the Owner Trustee that the exercise of such remedy in the absence of a
<PAGE>
 
                                      13

concurrent action for judicial foreclosure will not impair the exercise of any
rights or remedies reserved to the Owner Trustee pursuant to clause (cc) of the
Granting Clause.

          (d) Any provision of the Lease, the Original Indenture or this First
Supplemental Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, if Tenant shall fail to
pay any Excepted Payment to any Person entitled thereto as and when due, such
Person shall have the right at all times, to the exclusion of the Indenture
Trustee, to demand, collect, sue for, enforce performance of obligations
relating to or otherwise obtain all amounts due in respect of such Excepted
Payment; provided, however, that such Person shall not be entitled to collect
         --------  -------                                                   
such payment from or execute any judgment against or otherwise cause the placing
of a Lien upon any asset constituting a portion of the Indenture Estate.

          SECTION 2.2  Actions for Ratable Benefit of Noteholders.  All proofs
                       ------------------------------------------             
of claim, rights of action and rights to assert claims under the Original
Indenture, this First Supplemental Indenture or under any of the Notes may be
enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or
the production thereof in any trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and
any such action or proceedings instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be
brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of
judgment shall, after provision for the payment or reimbursement of the proper
charges, expenses or advances of the Indenture Trustee, be for the ratable
benefit of the Noteholders in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

          SECTION 2.3  Noteholders May Demand Enforcement of Rights by the
                       ---------------------------------------------------
Indenture Trustee.  Subject to Sections 2.1 and 2.12 hereof and Sections 8.3 and

8.4 of the Original Indenture, if an Indenture Event of Default shall have
occurred and shall be continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall, upon the receipt
of a Directive from a Majority in Interest of Noteholders and upon the offering
of indemnity as provided in Section 9.1(e) of the Original Indenture, proceed to
institute one or more suits, actions or proceedings at law, in equity or
otherwise, or, take any other appropriate remedy, to enforce payment of the
principal of, or the Make-Whole Premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes or to
foreclose the lien of this First Supplemental Indenture or to sell or to cause
to be sold the Indenture Estate under a judgment or decree of a court or courts
of competent jurisdiction or under the power of sale herein granted, or take
such other appropriate legal, equitable or other remedy, as the Indenture
Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall deem most effectual to protect and
enforce any of the rights or powers of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders,
or, in case such Noteholders shall have requested a specific method of
enforcement permitted hereunder, in the manner requested, provided that such
action shall be in accordance with law and the provisions of this First
Supplemental Indenture, and the Indenture Trustee, subject to such indemnity
provisions, shall have the right to decline to follow any such request if the
Indenture Trustee in good faith shall determine that the suit, proceeding or
exercise of the other remedy so requested would involve the Indenture Trustee in
personal liability or expense.

Owner Trustee, for itself and for any Person who may claim through or under it,
hereby:

          (a) agrees that neither it nor any such Person will set up, plead,
claim or in any manner whatsoever take advantage of, any statute or rule of law
now or hereafter in force providing for any stay, moratorium, extension,
appraisement, valuation or redemption or any statute of limitations or any
rights to require a marshalling of assets which may delay, prevent or otherwise
hinder (i) the performance or enforcement or foreclosure of this First
Supplemental Indenture, (ii) the sale of any of the Indenture Estate, or (iii)
the putting of the purchaser or purchasers thereof into possession of the

                       ---------------------------------------------------------
If the Owner Trustee shall fail to make any payment required to be made or to
perform any act required to be performed by it hereunder or under the Lease, the
Indenture Trustee, without notice to or demand upon the Owner Trustee and
without waiving or releasing any obligation or default, may (but shall be under
no obligation to) at any time thereafter make such payment or perform such act
for the account and at the expense of the Indenture Estate.  All sums so paid by
the Indenture Trustee and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel and other professionals) so
incurred together with interest thereon from the date of payment or occurrence,
shall constitute additional indebtedness secured by this First Supplemental
Indenture and shall be paid from the Indenture Estate to the Indenture Trustee
on demand.  The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any damages resulting
from any such payment or action unless such damages shall be a consequence of

Indenture Trustee shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right,
power or remedy under this First Supplemental Indenture by foreclosure, entry or
otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for
any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee,
then and in every such case the Owner Trustee, the Owner Participant, the
Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and Tenant shall be restored to their former
positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Indenture Estate, and all
rights, powers and remedies of the Indenture Trustee shall continue as if no
such proceedings had been taken.

power and remedy herein specifically given to the Indenture Trustee under this
First Supplemental Indenture shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to
every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or
hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right,
power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be
exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed
expedient by the Indenture Trustee and the exercise or the beginning of the
exercise of any right, power and remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of
the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or
remedy.  No delay or omission by the Indenture Trustee in the exercise of any
right, power or remedy or in the pursuance of any remedy shall impair any such
right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default on the part
of the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant or to be an acquiescence therein.

          (a) (i) In the event of any default by Tenant in the payment of any
     installment of Basic Rent due under the Lease, the Owner Trustee or the
     Owner Participant, without the consent of the Indenture Trustee or any
     Noteholder, may pay to the Indenture Trustee, for application in accordance
     with Section 4.1 of the Original Indenture, a sum equal to the amount of
     all (but not less than all) principal and interest as shall then be due and
     payable on the Series * Notes, together with any interest on account of
     such payment being overdue as provided in Article 4 of the Original
     Indenture.

          (ii) In the event of any default by Tenant in the performance of any
     obligation under the Lease (other than the obligation to pay Basic Rent) or
     any other Operative Document, the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant,
     without the consent of the Indenture Trustee or any Holder of a Series *
     Note, may exercise Landlord's rights under Article 42 of the Lease to
     perform such obligation on behalf of Tenant.

          (iii)  Solely for the purpose of determining whether there exists an
     Indenture Event of Default, (A) any payment by the Owner Trustee or the
     Owner Participant pursuant to, and in compliance with, Section 2.12(a)(i)
     shall, for the purposes of the Indenture, be deemed to remedy any default
     by Tenant in the payment of installments of Basic Rent theretofore due and
     payable under the Lease and to remedy any default by the Owner Trustee in
     the payment of any amount due and payable under the Series * Notes and (B)

     to remedy any related default by the Owner Trustee under this Indenture.

          (iv) This Section 2.12(a) shall not apply to any default by Tenant in
     the payment of any installment of Basic Rent due under the Lease if such
     default by Tenant is the fourth (4th) or more consecutive, or the seventh
     (7th) or more during the term of this Indenture, default in the payment of
     Basic Rent under the Lease.

          (v) Upon the exercise of any cure right under this Section 2.12(a),
     neither the Owner Trustee nor the Owner Participant shall obtain any Lien
     on any part of the Indenture Estate on account of any payment made or the
     costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith nor shall any claim of
     the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant against Tenant or any other
     Person for the repayment thereof impair the prior right and security
     interest of the Indenture Trustee in and to the Indenture Estate.

          (b) (i) Upon the exercise of any right to cure defaults under Section
     2.12(a), the Owner Participant or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be,
     shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of the Series * Notes to
     receive from the Indenture Trustee the installment of Basic Rent with
     respect to which the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant effected such a
     cure (including interest on account of such installment being overdue) in
     the manner set forth in Section 2.12(b)(ii).

          (ii) If the Indenture Trustee shall thereafter receive such
     installment of Basic Rent, then, notwithstanding the requirements of
     Section 4.1 of the Original Indenture, the Indenture Trustee forthwith
     shall remit such installment of Basic Rent to the Owner Trustee or the
     Owner Participant, as the case may be, in reimbursement for the funds so
     advanced by either of them; provided, however, that, if any Indenture Event
                                 --------  -------                              
     of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, such installment of
     Basic Rent shall not be remitted to the Owner Trustee or the Owner
     Participant but shall be held by the Indenture Trustee as security for the
     obligations secured hereby with respect to the Series * Notes and
     distributed in accordance with Section 4.1(b) of the Original Indenture, as
     appropriate; and provided, further, that if the principal of and interest
                      --------  -------                                       
     on the Series * Notes shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section
     8.2 of the Original Indenture, such installment of Basic Rent shall be
     distributed by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with Section 4.3 of the
     Original Indenture.

          (c) The provisions of this Section 2.12 shall not apply during any

intention of the parties hereto that this First Supplemental Indenture shall
constitute a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial
Code with respect to the interest of the Owner Trustee, as debtor, in the
Indenture Estate that is covered by the Uniform Commercial Code, and that a

and Excepted Rights) under the Lease.  Nothing contained in this First
Supplemental Indenture, nor the exercise of the right by the Indenture Trustee
to collect the Rent under the Lease, shall be deemed to make the Indenture
Trustee a "mortgagee in possession" or shall be, or be construed to be, an
affirmation by the Indenture Trustee of, or an assumption of liability by the
Indenture Trustee under, or a subordination of the lien of this First
Supplemental Indenture to, any tenancy, lease or option.

the Original Indenture, this First Supplemental Indenture and the Series * Notes
are executed and delivered by the Owner Trustee solely in the exercise of the
powers expressly conferred upon it as trustee under the Trust Agreement; and
(ii) no personal liability or responsibility is assumed hereunder or under the

in its individual capacity or the Owner Participant on account of any
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement hereunder of the Owner Trustee,
either express or implied, all such personal liability, if any, being expressly
waived by the Indenture Trustee and (by its acceptance of a Series * Note)
deemed to have been waived by each Holder of a Series * Note and by all Persons
claiming by, through or under such Holder of a Series * Note; provided, however,

connection with the acceptance or administration of the trusts created hereunder
or the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of

          As more fully provided in the Indenture, the Series * Notes are
subject to redemption under the circumstances set forth in Article 6 of the
Original Indenture.

          If an Indenture Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the
principal amount remaining unpaid and any interest accrued hereon of the Series
* Notes may, subject to certain rights of the Owner Trustee or the Owner
Participant (or both) contained or referred to in the Indenture, be declared due
and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.  If,
and only if, such an Indenture Event of Default constitutes an Event of Default
by the Tenant under the Lease, subject to the provisions of the Indenture,
including certain specified limitations, the Indenture Trustee may declare the
Lease to be in default, and may exercise one or more of the remedies of the
Owner Trustee provided in the Lease.

          The Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant may cure any default by the
Tenant under the Lease arising from the failure of the Tenant to make any
payment of Basic Rent under the Lease, provided that such failure of the Tenant
is not the fourth consecutive such failure, or the seventh cumulative such
failure.  In the event of any default by the Tenant of any obligation under the
Lease (other than the obligation to pay Basic Rent), the Owner Trustee or the
Owner Participant may (but are not obligated to, to the extent not prohibited by
Applicable Law) make any payment or perform or comply with any such agreement as
the Tenant shall be obligated to pay, perform or comply with under the Lease.

          The right of the Holder of this Series * Note to institute action for
any remedy under the Indenture, including the enforcement of payment of any
amount due hereon, is subject to certain restrictions specified in the
Indenture.

          Following an Indenture Event of Default arising out of a Lease Event
of Default, the Owner Trustee may, subject to the conditions specified in the
Indenture, purchase or redeem all of the Notes in accordance with the terms of
the Indenture. Each Noteholder, by accepting this Series * Note, agrees, subject
to the provisions of the Indenture, that, upon payment to the Indenture Trustee
of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, plus, in the
event, and only in the event, the condition set forth in Section 8.4(c)(D) of
the Original Indenture has been satisfied, the Make-Whole Premium, together with
accrued but unpaid interest thereon to the date of such redemption or purchase
(as well as any interest on overdue principal) and any other amounts due and
payable to the Noteholders, and upon satisfaction of all of the conditions
contained in the Indenture pertaining to the purchase of the Notes by the Owner
Trustee, such Holder shall be deemed to have sold this Series * Note to the
Owner Trustee or its designee.

                                      B-5

          The Series * Notes are issuable only in registered form in
denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof.  As provided in the
Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Series *
Notes (i) are transferred on the Note Register upon surrender of the Series * 
Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Note Registrar
to be maintained for that purpose, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Note Registrar duly executed
by the Holder of such Series * Notes or his attorney duly authorized in writing,
or (ii) are exchangeable at the office or agency of the Registrar maintained for
that purpose for an equal aggregate principal amount of Series * Notes and, in
each case, thereupon one or more new Series * Notes of the same series with the
same interest rate and Stated Maturity as the Series * Notes so to be
transferred or exchanged, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate
principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or such Holder, as
the case may be.

          No service charge will be made to any Holder of a Series * Note for
any such transfer or exchange, but the Registrar may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection
therewith.

          Prior to due presentation of this Note for registration of transfer,
the Person in whose name this Series * Note is registered shall be deemed to be
the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein
provided and for all other purposes whether or not this Series * Note shall be
overdue, regardless of any notice to anyone to the contrary.

          THE SERIES * NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE CHOICE OF LAW
DOCTRINE OF SUCH STATE.

reimbursed by Tenant to such party, within 30 days following demand.  The
payment of expenses in connection with a Transfer pursuant to Section 2(d)(ii)

Section 2 (other than Section 2(d)), the transferee shall be deemed the "Owner
Participant" for all purposes of the Operative Documents to the extent

transferring Owner Participant contained in the Operative Documents shall be
deemed to include a reference to the transferee for all purposes.

          (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
2 or in any provision of any other Operative Document, in the event of the
occurrence and continuance of a Material Default or Event of Default with
respect to any of the Properties, Owner Participant may Transfer, without
restriction, all or any part of its interest in the affected Property through
the Transfer of the Owner Participant Interest; provided, however, so long as
                                                --------  -------            
the lien of the Indenture shall then be in effect, such transferee must be a
U.S. Person.

<PAGE>
 
     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, after any
Transfer effected in accordance with this Section 2, the transferring Owner
Participant shall not be released from any obligation arising or accruing under
the Operative Documents prior to such Transfer, but shall be released from any
obligation arising or accruing under the Operative Documents after such Transfer
to the extent of the obligations assumed by the transferee. Notwithstanding any
Transfer effected in accordance with this Section 2, the transferring Owner
Participant shall nevertheless be responsible for all obligations and entitled
to all benefits accrued and all rights vested or arising with respect to the
period prior to such Transfer, including, without limitation, any right to
indemnification under this Agreement or the Tax Indemnification Agreement, to
the exclusion of the transferee unless the transferring Owner Participant shall
have assigned such benefits and rights to the transferee and provided evidence
of such assignment in form and substance satisfactory to Tenant.  Tenant agrees
that it shall, to the extent so requested by Owner Participant, use reasonable
efforts to cooperate with Owner Participant in effecting any Transfer permitted
pursuant to this Section 2 and, if requested by the transferor or transferee,
Tenant will give its written consent to any such Transfer complying with the
provisions of this Section 2 promptly after a request therefor.

     3.  Owner Participant as Competitor.
         ------------------------------- 

     (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or
any other Operative Document, but subject to applicable provisions of the
Indenture, if the Owner Participant enters a new line of business and thereby
becomes a Competitor (as defined in subsection (h) below) (or an Affiliate of a
Competitor) of Tenant at any time during the term of the Lease, Tenant shall
have, provided that no Material Default or Event of Default under the Lease
shall have occurred and be continuing, the exclusive and irrevocable option (the
"Competitor Option"), for a period of one year (the "Competitor Option Period")
 -----------------                                   ------------------------  
after an executive officer of Tenant having oversight of the transactions
contemplated by the Operative Documents has actual knowledge that Owner
Participant has become a Competitor (or an Affiliate of a Competitor), to cause
Owner Participant to sell all (but not less than all) of its Owner Participant
Interest, or to cause Landlord to sell all (but not less than all) of the
Landlord Interest in all of the related Properties as provided in this Section
3, provided that if Owner Participant or an Affiliate of Owner Participant
   --------

          parties to each Operative Document to which Tenant is a party, each
          such Operative Document is, respectively, a legal, valid and binding
          obligation of Tenant, enforceable against Tenant in accordance with
          its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
          moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or
          affecting creditors' rights and to general equity principles.  No
          basis exists for any claims by Tenant or any Affiliate of Tenant under
          the Operative Documents against any party thereto and, to the best of
          Tenant's knowledge, nothing has arisen that will provide a defense by
          Tenant to enforcement of an otherwise enforceable provision of any
          Operative Document.

               (iv)  No Actions Pending.  There is no action, suit or proceeding
                     ------------------                                         
          before any court, governmental body, agency, commission or other
          tribunal now pending or, to the actual knowledge of any executive
          officer of Tenant having oversight of the transactions contemplated by
          the Operative Documents, threatened against or affecting Tenant or the
          Properties or naming Tenant as a party, that questions the validity or
          enforceability of this Agreement or any other Operative Document to
          which Tenant is or is to become a party or that is reasonably likely,
          if adversely determined individually or in the aggregate, to have a
          material adverse effect on the ability of Tenant to perform its
          obligations under any Operative Document.  Tenant is not in default
          with respect to any order of any Governmental Authority, the default
          under which is reasonably likely to materially adversely affect its
          financial condition, business or operation or to materially adversely
          affect the ability of Tenant to perform its obligations under the
          Operative Documents to which Tenant is a party.

               (v)  Financial Statements.  The consolidated balance sheets of
                    --------------------                                     
          Tenant and its consolidated subsidiaries as of January 25, 1995, and
          the related statements of income and cash flows of  Tenant and its
          consolidated subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended January 25, 1995,
          contained or incorporated by reference in Tenant's Annual Report on
          Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 25, 1995, fairly present
          the consolidated financial condition of Tenant and its consolidated
          subsidiaries as of such dates and the result of operations of Tenant
          and its consolidated subsidiaries for the periods ended on such dates,
          all in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
          ("GAAP") consistently applied.

               (vi)  No Material Adverse Change.  Since January 25, 1995, there
                     --------------------------                                
          has been no material adverse change, financial or otherwise, in Tenant
          and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, except for such changes as have
          been disclosed in filings made by Tenant with the Securities and
          Exchange Commission or in press releases by Tenant copies of which
          have been delivered to Owner Participant prior to the date hereof.

               (vii)  No Defaults.  If the Operative Documents had been in
                      -----------                                         
          effect immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement, no
          Material Default or Event of Default would have occurred and be
          continuing, and no condition would exist that constitutes or, with the
          giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a Material
          Default or Event of Default.  No condition exists that constitutes, or
          with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute,
          an event of default by Tenant under any material indenture, mortgage,
          loan agreement, lease or other agreement or instrument to which Tenant
          is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be bound.  If
          the Operative Documents had been in effect immediately prior to the
          execution of this Agreement, no Event of Loss would have occurred and
          no event or condition has occurred which would, with the passage of
          time or the giving of notice, or both, constitute an Event of Loss.
          No unrepaired material damage and no modification has occurred with
          respect to any Property since the dates set forth on Exhibit C hereto.

               (viii)  ERISA.  The execution, delivery and performance of this
                       -----                                                  
          Agreement and the other Operative Documents and the consummation of
          the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not involve any
          prohibited transaction, within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or
          Section 4975 of the Code, and the acquisition and holding by Owner
          Participant of the Owner Participant Interest for its own account, and
          the acquisition and holding by Remainderman Participant of the
          Remainderman Trust for its own account, will not constitute a
          prohibited transaction as to any plan investing in Notes or
          Certificates (or any similar interest) within the meaning of Section
          4975(c)(1)(A) through (D) of the Code for which no exemption is
          applicable.

               (ix) Compliance.  After giving effect to the transactions
                    ----------                                          
          contemplated by the Operative Documents, including without limitation,

          occupancy of the Properties by Tenant, in each case, in the operation
          of Tenant's business, shall comply with applicable Legal Requirements,
          including, without limitation, all applicable zoning and similar land
          use laws and regulations, as of the Closing Date, except in any case
          where the failure to comply would not have an adverse effect on the

                   ------------

          the Operative Documents in connection with the consummation of the
          sale and leaseback on the Closing Date (including, without limitation,
          the use of the proceeds indirectly received by Tenant from the sale of
          the Certificates or Notes) will result in a violation of Section 7 of
          the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any regulation
          issued pursuant thereto.

               (xvi)  Disclosure.  To the knowledge of the officers of Tenant
                      ----------

          or value of any of the Properties or materially impairs the ability of
          Tenant to perform its obligations under the Operative Documents to

          Indenture Trustee is a party (as Indenture Trustee or in its
          individual capacity, as the case may be), each such Operative Document

          interests in the Properties, including any indebtedness evidenced by
          the Certificates or Notes, or any securities similar to any of the
          foregoing, in any case under circumstances which would subject such

          Indenture Trustee under the Operative Documents to which Corporate
          Indenture Trustee is or is to become a party.

          Indentures or Pass Through Trust Agreements, neither Individual
          Remainderman Trustee, nor any person authorized by Individual
          Remainderman Trustee to act on his behalf, has directly or indirectly
          offered to any person for sale, or solicited offers to buy from any
          person or otherwise approached or negotiated with any person, with
          respect to interests in all or any portion

          of the Properties or any beneficial or other interest in or under the
          Remainderman Trust Agreement or any indebtedness secured by any
          interests in the Properties, including any indebtedness evidenced by
          the Certificates or Notes, or any securities similar to any of the
          foregoing, in any case under circumstances which would subject such
          interest or indebtedness to registration under the Securities Act of
          1933, as amended.

               (iii)  No Brokers.  Individual Remainderman Trustee has dealt
                      ----------

          commission, fee or other compensation arising out of the transactions
          contemplated hereby.

          breach of or default under the Remainderman Trust Agreement.  If the
          Operative Documents had been in effect immediately prior to the
          execution of this Agreement, no Indenture Event of Default would have
          occurred and be continuing, and no event or condition has occurred
          which would, with the passage of time or giving of notice, or both,
          constitute an Indenture Event of Default.

               (v) No Remainderman Liens.  No Remainderman Lien attributable to

          delivery and performance by Individual Remainderman Trustee of the
          Operative Documents to which he is a party (as Individual Remainderman
          Trustee or in his individual capacity) will not subject the Indenture
          Estate, or any portion thereof, to any Remainderman Liens.

               (vi)  No Action Pending.  There is no action, suit or proceeding
                     -----------------

          tribunal now pending or, to the actual knowledge of Individual
          Remainderman Trustee, threatened against or affecting Individual
          Remainderman Trustee or naming Individual Remainderman Trustee as a
          party, the probable outcome of which would materially impair the
          ability of Individual Remainderman Trustee to perform his obligations
          under the Remainder Trust Agreement.]

          performance by Pass Through Trustee of, the consummation by it of the
          transactions provided for in, and the compliance by it with  all of

          Pass Through Trustee or in its individual capacity) have been duly
          authorized by all necessary action on its part and neither the
          execution, delivery and performance thereof, nor the consummation of

          of the terms and provisions thereof (A) requires any approval of its
          stockholders, (B) requires approval or consent of any trustee or
          holders of any of its indebtedness or obligations, except for such
          approvals and consents as have been duly obtained and are in full
          force and effect, (C) contravenes any current Legal Requirement or
          Governmental Action of the United States or the State of Connecticut

          or other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or, by which
          it or its properties may be bound or affected, which contravention,
          breach or default would materially adversely affect its ability to
          perform its obligations under the Operative Documents or (E) requires
          any Governmental Action of the United States or the State of
          Connecticut governing its banking and trust powers, except for filings
          and recordings necessary or advisable to perfect the rights of the
          Landlord, Remainderman Trustee, Indenture Trustee, Pass Through
          Trustee and the Tenant intended to be created by the Operative
          Documents.

               (iii)  Enforceability.  Assuming the due authorization, execution
                      --------------

          Pass Through Trustee is a party (as Pass Through Trustee or in its
          individual capacity, as the case may be), each such Operative Document
          is, respectively, a legal, valid and binding obligation of Pass
          Through Trustee (as Pass Through Trustee or in its individual
          capacity, as the case may be), enforceable against it in accordance
          with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency,

          relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity
          principles.

               (iv) No Actions Pending.  There is no action, suit or proceeding
                    ------------------                                         
          before any court, governmental body, agency, commission or other
          tribunal now pending or, to Pass Through Trustee's actual knowledge,
          threatened in writing against Pass Through Trustee or naming Pass
          Through Trustee as a party (in each such case, as Pass Through Trustee
          or in its individual capacity), that questions the validity or
          enforceability of this Agreement or any other Operative Document to
          which Pass Through Trustee is or is to become a party or that would,
          if adversely determined, have a  material adverse effect on the
          ability of Pass Through Trustee (as Pass Through Trustee or in its
          individual capacity) to perform its obligations under any Operative
          Document to which it is a party.

          existence.  The execution, delivery and performance by Pass Through
          Trustee of the Operative Documents to which it is a party (as Pass
          Through Trustee or in its individual capacity) will not subject the
          Indenture Estate, or any portion thereof, to any Pass Through Trustee
          Liens attributable to Pass Through Trustee in its individual capacity.

               (vi) Offer of Interest.  Except as contemplated herein or by the

          Indentures or Pass Through Trust Agreements, neither Pass Through
          Trustee, nor any person authorized by Pass Through Trustee to act on
          its behalf, has directly or indirectly offered to any person for sale,
          or solicited offers to buy from any person or otherwise approached or
          negotiated with any person, with respect to interests in all or any
          portion of the Properties or any beneficial or other interest in or
          under the Pass Through Trust Agreements or any indebtedness secured by
          any interests in the Properties, including any indebtedness evidenced
          by the Certificates or Notes, or any securities similar to any of the
          foregoing, in any case under circumstances which would subject such
          interest or indebtedness to registration under the Securities Act of
          1933, as amended.

               (vii)  No Brokers.  Pass Through Trustee has dealt with no

          fee or other compensation arising out of the transactions contemplated
          hereby.

                        ----------   
          effect immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement, no breach
          or default would have occurred which would, with the passage of time
          or giving of notice, or both, constitute a breach or default by Pass
          Through Trustee under the Operative Documents to which Pass Through
          Trustee is or is to become a party.

               (ix) Purchase.  Pass Through Trustee is purchasing the Notes for
                    --------                                                   
          the purposes contemplated by the Operative Documents and not with a
          view to the transfer or distribution of any Notes to any other Person,
          except as contemplated by the Operative Documents.

"notice") must be in writing and must be given by hand delivery or by a

nationally recognized overnight courier or by mailing the same by registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the respective parties at
their addresses above set forth.  Copies of all notices to Landlord hereunder
shall also be sent to Owner Participant at its address set forth above.  Copies
of all notices to Remainderman Trustee hereunder shall also be sent to
Remainderman Participant at its address set forth above.  Any party may
designate by notice, in writing given in the manner herein specified, a new or
other address to which a notice shall thereafter be so given.  All notices shall
be deemed given when received.  The inability to make delivery because of
changed address of which no notice was given, or rejection or refusal to accept
any notice offered for delivery shall be deemed to be receipt of the notice as
of the date of attempted delivery.

          (b) Promptly after the execution by Owner Trustee of any amendment to
the Trust Agreement or by Remainderman Trustee of any amendment to the
Remainderman Trust Agreement, Owner Trustee or Remainderman Trustee, as the case
may be, shall send conformed copies thereof (i) to Tenant, (ii) to Indenture
Trustee, if the lien of the Indenture has not been discharged in accordance with
the terms thereof, and (iii) to Owner Participant.

and the breach of any such provision by any party hereto shall not discharge or
relieve any other party from any of such other party's obligations hereunder.
Each provision of this Agreement shall be valid and shall be enforceable to the
extent not prohibited by law.  If any provision hereof or the application
thereof to any Person or circumstance shall to any extent be invalid or
unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof, or the

                                     - 49 -
<PAGE>
 
application of such provision to Persons or circumstances other than those as to
which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby.  To the
extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision
thereof that renders any term or provision hereof invalid or unenforceable in
any respect.

          (b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all provisions
contained in this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and
be enforceable by, the successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns

representative and permitted assign were named as a party hereto.

          (c) This Agreement may not be modified or terminated except by a
writing signed by the party to be charged.

          (d) This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York (other than the conflict of laws rules
thereof), except to the extent that the jurisdiction in which a given Property
is located requires that the laws of that jurisdiction be applied to this
Agreement, in which case and to such extent, this Agreement shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of such jurisdiction.

          (e) If any right or option provided in this Agreement would, in the
absence of the limitation imposed by this sentence, be invalid or unenforceable
as being in violation of the rule against perpetuities or any other rule of law
relating to the vesting of an interest in or the suspension of  the power of
alienation of property, then such right or option shall be exercisable only
during the period which shall end 21 years after the date of death of the last

Court of St. James, alive on the date of the execution, acknowledgment and
delivery of this Agreement.

          (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, no default by Owner Participant or Landlord hereunder shall in any
way adversely affect the rights accorded to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to

          ---------

obligations of the parties thereto with respect to matters covered by the
Indenture and this Section 17.

          (a) Each of Landlord and Indenture Trustee agrees, for the benefit of
Tenant and Owner Participant, (i) to comply with the provisions of the

modify any provision of the

                                     - 50 -

Indenture in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights or increase the
obligations of any such party without the prior written consent of such party.

          (b) Each of Tenant, Landlord and Indenture Trustee agrees, for the
benefit of the Indenture Trustee and the holders of the Notes from time to time,
that payment of all amounts payable hereunder or under the Leases and comprising
part of the applicable Indenture Estate shall, so long as any Notes issued under
such Indenture remain outstanding, be paid directly to Indenture Trustee, for
distribution in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

          (c) Tenant shall be entitled to receive copies of all notices,
requests, demands, approvals, authorizations, directions, consents, waivers or

          -------------------                                               
payment thereof is governed by a specific provision of an Operative Document, it
shall pay on an After-Tax Basis all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Owner Participant, Landlord, Owner

Tenant shall not be obligated to pay any such expenses to the extent that they
relate to or arise out of any of the circumstances described in Section 23(b)
below with respect to such party.

          (b) Tenant further covenants and agrees to pay, as Additional Rent,
the ordinary and extraordinary fees and expenses of Remainderman Trustee, but

          --------------------------------------------------------              
prejudice to any right under the Trust Agreement of the Owner Trustees (in their

Agreement to remove the Owner

                                     - 51 -

Agreement of the Remainderman Trustees (in their individual capacities) to

remove the Remainderman Trustees (in their individual capacities), subject in
each case to the requirement that such resignation shall not be effective unless
and until a successor trustee shall have been appointed and shall have accepted
such appointment, each of Remainderman Participant and Remainderman Trustees
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees with Tenant, Owner Participant,

conditions and as more fully provided in Article VII of the Indenture, each of

may elect to exchange new secured, full recourse securities of Tenant for the
related Notes by giving notice of such exchange to each such party and, upon
satisfaction of the conditions precedent to such exchanges set forth in the
related Indenture, each such party will execute and deliver appropriate
documentation reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to each of the
parties (i) releasing Owner Trustee and Owner Participant from all obligations
with respect to such Notes and the Properties, or obligations under such Notes
and the related Supplemental Indentures; (ii) to the extent provided in the
Indenture, releasing the security interest in the Properties; and (iii) taking

Tenant, and only with Tenant, that it will have the

                                     - 52 -

right (but not the obligation) to pay or cause to be paid to the Owner Trustee,

provisions of the Indenture.  Tenant agrees to give Owner Participant written
notice not more than 10 and not less than 5 Business Days prior to the date such
payment is due of the due date and the amount to be so paid.  Upon receipt of
such notice, Owner Participant agrees to cause Owner Trustee to give Tenant
notice by 11:00 a.m. on the date two (2) Business Days prior to such due date if
Owner Participant has elected not to exercise its right to make such payment
when due.  Owner Participant hereby agrees with Tenant and only with Tenant, and
not for the benefit of any other party to this Agreement, to the terms and
conditions set forth in Article 3(b) of the Leases.

     22.  Basic Rental Adjustments After Closing.
          -------------------------------------- 

          (a) If (i) there shall be a tax law change (including a change in Code
or applicable regulations) enacted or promulgated prior to Closing or if a tax
law change shall have been proposed the relevant provisions of which have been
specifically identified in a notice delivered by Owner Participant to Tenant
prior to Closing and the identified provisions or provisions substantially
comparable to such provisions are enacted or promulgated in final form after
Closing, or (ii) the Transaction Expenses paid by the Owner Trustee or Owner
Participant pursuant to Section 32 hereof shall exceed the Transaction Expense
Cap, Basic Rent and Termination Value under the Lease for the affected Property
or Properties will be adjusted up or down ("Rental Adjustment").
                                            -----------------   

          (b) Any Rental Adjustment shall be based on the same calculation
methods and Pricing Assumptions (as set forth on Exhibit D attached hereto)
(including the income tax assumptions and such other assumptions) as were used
initially by Landlord and Tenant in determining Basic Rent and Termination Value
for such Property (except and only to the extent any such assumption is required
to be changed by virtue of the event giving rise to the Rental Adjustment, any
event giving rise to any prior adjustments or any tax indemnity payments by
Tenant).  Any such adjustment (i) shall preserve Owner Participant's Economics
(as hereinafter defined) that would have been realized had the event causing the
Rental Adjustment not occurred, and to the greatest extent possible, shall

of Tenant's off-balance sheet treatment and (ii) shall (A) satisfy the tests of
Sections 4.02(5), 4.07(1) and 4.07(2) of Revenue Procedure 75-28, 1975-1 C.B.

and (B) be made in a manner designed to comply with Section 467 of the Code and
4.08(2) of Revenue Procedure 75-28 and any successor or supplemental provisions
of federal tax law and any regulations thereunder.  All such adjustments shall
be submitted by Owner Participant to Tenant promptly after the event causing
such adjustment and shall be immediately effective, provided that all
adjustments to Termination Value shall be retroactive to the date of the event
giving rise to the adjustment.

          (c) When any Rental Adjustment required to be made pursuant hereto is
submitted to Tenant, Owner Participant shall confirm in a writing, executed by
one of its authorized officers, to Tenant that the assumptions, methods and
computations employed in the applicable initial calculations of Basic Rent and
Termination Value for such Property were used in calculating such adjustment and
that such adjustment was made in compliance with the applicable provisions of
this Section.  If requested by Tenant, such determination shall be verified by
an independent and nationally recognized accounting firm agreed upon by Tenant
and Owner Participant and which is not then engaged by either of them as its
auditor, which review and verification shall determine whether Owner
Participant's computations are mathematically accurate and are properly based on
the methodology and assumptions required hereunder.  If such accounting firm
determines that Owner Participant's Rental Adjustments are incorrect, then after
taking into account any underpayment or overpayment resulting from the earlier
effectiveness of the original adjustment calculated by Owner Participant such
accounting firm shall determine the correct adjustments, and such determination
shall be final and binding in the absence of manifest error and shall be
immediately effective, provided that the adjustment of Termination Value shall
be retroactive to the date of the event giving rise to the original adjustment.
The cost of any such determination by such accounting firm shall be borne by
Tenant unless the determination results in a reduction in the present value of
the Basic Rent (discounted semiannually using the per annum discount rate
specified in the Pricing Assumptions attached as Exhibit D (the "Discount
                                                                 --------
Rate")) by ten basis points or more from the amount proposed by Owner
- ---- 
Participant, in which case the costs of determination shall be borne by Owner
Participant.  Owner Participant shall make available to such accounting firm,
and not to Tenant, on a satisfactory confidential basis such information as may
be required by them to verify and determine the computations pursuant hereto
provided, however, in no event shall Owner Participant be required to disclose
its tax returns or any records related thereto to such accounting firm, Tenant
or any other Person in connection with such verification procedure or otherwise.
Tenant and Owner Participant agree that the sole responsibility of the
independent accounting firm shall be to verify and determine the calculation of
a Rental Adjustment hereunder and that matters of interpretation of this

Agreement or the Leases are outside the scope of the independent accounting
firm's responsibility.

          (d) "Owner Participant's Economics" shall mean Owner Participant's

nominal after-tax yield, total after-tax cash flow and (i) annual FASB after-tax
lease income for the first five years or (ii) after the first five years, annual
FASB after-tax lease income plus or minus five percent utilizing the multiple
investment sinking fund method of analysis computed on the basis of the same
methodology and assumptions as were utilized in Owner Participant's original
calculation of Basic Rent and Termination Value.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, Owner Participant shall have the right to
reoptimize Basic Rent immediately subsequent to any adjustment made pursuant to
this Section 22, provided that the average annual Basic Rent with respect to all
                 --------                                                       
Leases shall not be increased and provided further, that for each Rent Payment
Date, the sum of the present value of all Basic Rent payable on or prior to such
date (other than Basic Rent payable in advance on such date) plus the present
value of the corresponding Termination Values payable on such date shall not be
increased.  All present value calculations shall be computed using the Discount
Rate.

     23.  General Indemnity.  (a) Tenant agrees, whether or not any of the
          -----------------

be indemnified as to any such Claim by any other person and whether or not such
Claim arises or accrues prior to the date of this Agreement, arising out of, in
any way relating to, resulting from or in connection with, in each case,
directly or indirectly, any one or more of the following:

          Operative Documents to be paid or borne by any Indemnitee to the
          extent that such Indemnitee shall have expressly agreed in the
          Operative Documents to bear such fee, cost or expense without right of
          reimbursement or indemnity under the Operative Documents;

               (ii) any Claim in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Property

          Property in accordance with the applicable Lease and (B) that is not

          that nothing in clause (x) shall be deemed to exclude or limit any
          Claim that any Indemnitee may have under applicable law by reason of
          an Event of Default or for damages for breach of any of Tenant's
          covenants contained in the Operative Documents to which it is a party
          that expressly provide for performance after termination or expiration
          of the Lease;

               (iv) any Claim attributable to a breach by any Indemnitee of its
          representations or warranties set forth in the Operative Documents to
          which it is a party or from a breach of fiduciary duty under an

               (v) the failure of such Indemnitee to perform or observe any
          covenant or agreement on its part (including, without limitation, the
          obligation to remove Lessor Liens, Remainderman Liens, Owner  Trustee
          Liens, Pass Through Trustee Liens or Indenture Trustee's Liens)
          required to be performed or observed in this Agreement or any of the
          other Operative Documents;

               (vi) any Claim of an Indemnitee relating to or arising from the
          inaccuracy, incompleteness or misleading nature of any statement or
          representation included in any registration statement issued in
          connection with any of an offer, sale or disposition of any Notes,
          Certificates or similar interest, which statement or representation is
          based on written information supplied or made available

                                     - 58 -
<PAGE>
 
          by such Indemnitee specifically for inclusion in such registration
          statement;

               (vii)  any Indenture Event of Default caused by Owner
          Participant; and

               (viii)   any Claim arising out of or related to a refinancing of
          the Properties by Owner Participant or Owner Trustee after payment in
          full of the Notes.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 23 to the contrary, Tenant shall
indemnify Owner Participant and its Affiliates for any Claim arising under ERISA
with respect to the purchase, sale, holding or transfer of the Notes or
Certificates.

          (c) With respect to any amount that Tenant is requested by an
Indemnitee to pay by reason of this Section 23, such Indemnitee shall (subject
to entering into a mutually satisfactory confidentiality agreement, if
reasonably requested by Tenant or such Indemnitee), at Tenant's expense, submit
such information or additional information and/or documentation not within the
control of Tenant and that is reasonably available to such Indemnitee to Tenant
as Tenant may reasonably request.

          (d) (i)  If Tenant shall obtain knowledge of any Claim indemnified
against under this Section 23, Tenant shall give prompt notice thereof to the
appropriate Indemnitee (or Indemnitees), and if any Indemnitee shall obtain
actual knowledge of any Claim indemnified under this Section 23, such Indemnitee
shall give prompt notice thereof to Tenant and any other affected Indemnitees,
provided that failure to so notify Tenant shall not release Tenant from any of
its obligations to indemnify such Indemnitee hereunder except to the extent that
Tenant shall demonstrate that such failure precludes Tenant from contesting such
Claim hereunder or such failure materially increases the amount of such Claim in
which event Tenant shall be relieved only to the extent of such increase.

               (ii) In case any action, suit or proceeding shall be brought
          against any Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall notify Tenant in writing
          of the commencement thereof.

                    (A)  In the case of any action, suit or proceeding with
          respect to which Tenant (as opposed to Indemnitee) receives notice, or
          if requested by Tenant, within 60  days after receipt by Tenant of the
          required notice with respect to the action, suit or proceeding that is
          the subject of the Claim, Indemnitee shall, except in the case of an
          action, suit or proceeding described in subsection (B) below, permit
          the Tenant to control any such action, suit or proceeding with counsel
          reasonably acceptable to Indemnitee.  The Indemnitee may

                                     - 59 -
<PAGE>
 
          participate, in a reasonable manner at its own expense and with its
          own counsel, but shall not control any action, suit or proceeding
          conducted by the Tenant in accordance with this subsection.

                    (B)  Tenant shall not be entitled to assume and control the
          defense of any action, suit or proceeding (unless Indemnitee shall
          request Tenant to assume such control) if (1) Tenant has not
          acknowledged that in the event of an adverse result, Tenant is
          required to indemnify the Indemnitee to the extent required by Section
          23, (2) a Material Default or Event of Default with respect to the
          Property giving rise to the Claim has occurred and is continuing, (3)
          the Indemnitee can demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of
          Tenant that there is a reasonable possibility that any such action,
          suit or proceeding with respect to such Claim would, if determined
          adversely to such Indemnitee, have a material adverse impact on the
          business of such Indemnitee and such adverse determination is a
          reasonable possibility, or involves the potential imposition of
          criminal liability on such Indemnitee or there exists a conflict of
          interest such that it is advisable for such Indemnitee to retain
          control of such proceeding, (4) such defense would at any time involve
          any material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of use, or the
          creation of any lien (other than Permitted Liens) on the Properties,
          unless Tenant shall have posted a bond or other security reasonably
          satisfactory to Owner Participant and such Indemnitee with respect to
          such risk or (5) in the case of Owner Participant or Remainderman
          Participant, Owner Participant or Remainderman Participant can
          demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of Tenant that there is a
          reasonable possibility that the amounts or issues involved if the
          Claim is adversely determined to Owner Participant or Remainderman
          Participant would have a material adverse affect on its business (or
          the business of Owner Participant Parent or the parent of Remainderman
          Participant) other than the ownership, leasing or financing of the
          Properties and such adverse determination is a reasonable possibility,
          provided that, in the case of this clause (5), if the amounts
          --------                                                     
          involved, in the good faith opinion of Tenant, are also  likely to
          have a material adverse affect on the Tenant's business other than the
          leasing, operation and maintenance of the Properties, Tenant shall be
          entitled to mutually share control and responsibility with Owner
          Participant or Remainderman Participant for defense of such Claim;
          provided, that if this clause (5) applies to both Owner Participant
          and Remainderman Participant, Owner Participant shall control the
          Claim and Remainderman

                                     - 60 -
<PAGE>
 
          Participant shall be entitled to engage separate counsel, at Tenant's
          expense, to represent Remainderman Participant's interests in such
          Claim.  In the case of any such action, suit or proceeding described
          in the preceding sentence, the Indemnitee will be entitled to assume
          and take control of the defense thereof at Tenant's expense and on an
          After-Tax Basis (including the payment of reasonable attorneys' fees
          and expenses incurred) and Indemnitee shall itself contest in good
          faith (including, without limitation, by pursuit of appeals and
          administrative procedures) the validity, applicability or amount of
          any such Claim in such action, suit or proceeding.  Tenant may
          participate in a reasonable manner at its own expense and with its own
          counsel, but shall not control any action, suit or proceeding
          conducted by any Indemnitee in accordance with this subsection.

               (C) In the case of any action, suit or proceeding described in
          subsection (A) or (B) above, Indemnitee and Tenant shall fully
          cooperate and shall supply one another with such information and
          documents (to the extent not adverse to Indemnitee's defense in (B))
          as may be reasonably requested by the party in control to fully and
          effectively prosecute and conduct such action, suit or proceeding.

          (e) As long as no Material Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, no Indemnitee shall enter into any settlement or other
compromise with respect to any Claim which it asserts is entitled to be
indemnified under this Section 23 without the prior written consent of Tenant,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless such Indemnitee waives
its right to be indemnified under this Section 23 with respect to such Claim.

          (f) Any amount payable to an Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 23
shall be paid to such Indemnitee promptly upon presentation and in any event
within 45 days after the latest to occur of: (i) Indemnitee's compliance with
the notification requirements of Section (d)(i); (ii) Indemnitee's compliance
with the information exchange requirements of subsection (c); and (iii) Tenant's
receipt of a written demand therefor from such Indemnitee, accompanied by a
written statement describing the basis for such indemnity and the computation of
the amount so payable; provided, however, in the case of any Claim that is
contested in accordance with subsection (d), any indemnity payment hereunder
with respect to such contested Claim (but only to the extent of any amounts
contested hereunder and not amounts incurred in connection with the conduct of
such contest) may be deferred until a final resolution of such contest
hereunder; provided, further, however, if the Indemnitee is required to pay to
any person or governmental body or

                                     - 61 -
<PAGE>
 
entity any amounts in respect of such Claim prior to a final resolution of such
Claim hereunder, Tenant shall advance to such Indemnitee the amount of such
Claim on an interest-free basis (with no additional net after-tax cost to such
Indemnitee).  If any amount payable by Tenant under Section 23 hereof is not
paid when due, Tenant shall pay on demand, to the Person entitled thereto,
interest on any such amount for the period from and including the due date for
such amount to but excluding the date the same is paid, at the Default Rate.

          (g) Upon payment in full of any Claim by Tenant pursuant to this
Section 23 to or on behalf of an Indemnitee, Tenant, without any further action,
shall be subrogated to the indemnified Claim and 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 at Tenant's expense execute such instruments of assignment and conveyance,
evidence of claims and payment and such other documents, instruments and
agreements as may be reasonably necessary to preserve any such claims and
otherwise reasonably cooperate in good faith with Tenant and give such further
assurances as are reasonably necessary or advisable to enable Tenant to pursue
such claims.

          (h) Nothing in this Section 23 shall (i) be construed as a guaranty by
Tenant of payment of any amount or of payment with respect to any matter not
specifically set forth herein including, without limitation, any residual value
in any Property or as a guaranty of any of the Notes or the Certificates to be
issued pursuant to the Pass Through Trust Agreements or (ii) modify or limit the
rights and obligations under any Operative Document with respect to any party
hereto as to any Claim covered hereby.

          (i) The right to enforce the indemnities contained in Section 23 is
personal to the Indemnitees, may not be assigned by them (other than in
connection with a transfer permitted by the Operative Documents) and shall in no
case be deemed a covenant running with the Land (except that Landlord may assign
the same to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture).  Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, only the Persons who are Indemnitees as of the
last day of the term of the Lease and the Persons who have ever been Indemnitees
during the term of the Lease and, in each case, any successor thereto shall be
entitled to an indemnity pursuant to Section 23 on account of environmental
conditions first discovered after the end of the term of the Lease.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, Tenant shall
have no liability to an Indemnitee to the extent that such liability derives
(directly or indirectly) from a contractual indemnity given by such Indemnitee
to any other Person, other than (i) an officer, director, employee, agent or
consultant of such Indemnitee, (ii) the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the
Indenture,

                                     - 62 -

(iii) a transferee of a Property in a transfer under Article 14, 15, 39, 40 or
41 of the Lease, to the extent any contractual indemnity is required by the
applicable Article or if not so required, has been consented to by Tenant  in
writing, (iv) the Owner Trustee, in its fiduciary and individual capacity,
pursuant to the Trust Agreement and (v) the Remainderman Trustee, in its
fiduciary and individual capacity, pursuant to the Remainderman Trust Agreement.

          (j) For purposes of the Operative Documents, the following terms shall
have the meanings ascribed to them below.

          "After-Tax Basis" shall have the same meaning with respect to any
           ---------------

          "Indemnitee" shall mean Owner Participant, Owner Participant Parent,
           ----------

the Trust Agreement together with any co-trustees permitted under such Trust
Agreement) and each of their respective Affiliates, permitted successors,
assigns, and transferees, servants, employees, agents, shareholders, directors
and officers.

          "Release" shall mean the release, deposit, disposal, leak or dispersal
           -------

          --------------------- 


     (a) Tenant agrees subject to subsection (b) of this Section 24, whether or
not any of the transactions contemplated by the Sale and Leaseback Documents
shall be consummated, to assume liability for, and to indemnify, protect,
defend, save and keep harmless each Tax Indemnitee on an After-Tax Basis, from
and against any and all claims that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against any Tax Indemnitee, whether or not such claim arises or accrues prior to
the date of this Agreement with respect to any Indemnified Taxes.

     (b) Tenant shall not be required to pay, reimburse or indemnify any Tax
Indemnitee under this Section 24 for any of the following:

               (i)  any Excluded Taxes;

               (ii) with respect to any Tax Indemnitee any Indemnified Tax
          attributable to:

                    (A)   the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Tax
               Indemnitee, it being understood that any breach by any Tax
               Indemnitee of its representations, warranties and covenants set
               forth in the Sale and Leaseback Documents to which it is a party
               or any violation of laws by such Tax Indemnitee shall be
               construed as willful misconduct for purposes of this Agreement
               unless such breach or violation results from Tenant's acts or
               omissions or misrepresentations.

                    (B)  a sale or transfer by such Tax Indemnitee of any
               Property, Lease, Rent or Remainder Interest or any part thereof
               or interest therein, or any addition, alteration, modification or
               improvement of a Property by such Tax Indemnitee, other than: (x)
               any transfer of a Property, Lease, Rent or Remainder Interest or
               any part thereof or any interest therein while a Material Default
               or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under
               the Lease; or (y) any claim attributable to a transfer of any
               Property or any interest therein under Articles 14, 15, 21, 39,
               40 or 41 of the Lease;

               (iii)  any Tax expressly provided under the Sale and Leaseback
          Documents to be borne by a party other than the Tenant;

                                     - 64 -
<PAGE>
 
               (iv) any Indemnified Tax to the extent attributable (A) to acts,
          events or circumstances which occur after the later of (x) the
          expiration or earlier termination of the applicable Lease and (y) the
          Tenant's actual surrender or return of possession of the applicable
          Property in accordance with the applicable Lease and (B) that is not
          attributable to and does not arise from any act, event or circumstance
          occurring on or before the later to occur of (x) and (y);

               (v) any Indemnified Tax attributable to the failure of such Tax
          Indemnitee to file any return or report in a procedurally proper and
          timely manner unless such failure is caused by the failure of Tenant
          to fulfill its obligations, if any, with respect to such return or
          report or unless Tenant has not timely notified the Tax Indemnitee
          that such return or report is required;

               (vi) any Indemnified Tax attributable to the failure of such Tax
          Indemnitee to comply with (A) certification, information,
          documentation, reporting or other similar requirements (each being a
          "Requirement") concerning the nationality, residence, identity or
          connection with the jurisdiction imposing such taxes, if such
          compliance is timely requested by Tenant in writing and such
          compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the jurisdiction
          imposing any tax with respect to which indemnification is claimed as a
          precondition to relief or exemption from such tax and such Tax
          Indemnitee or its respective Tax Affiliates were eligible to comply
          with such Requirement or (B) any other Requirements under the Tax laws
          or regulations of the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes that would
          establish entitlement to otherwise applicable relief or exemption from
          such Taxes if such compliance by such Tax Indemnitee or its respective
          Tax Affiliates were timely requested by Tenant in writing and such Tax
          Indemnitee or its respective Tax Affiliates were eligible to comply
          with such Requirement provided, in the case of both clause (A) and
          (B), such Requirements or compliance therewith would not, in the
          reasonable opinion of such Tax Indemnitee, subject such Tax Indemnitee
          or its Affiliates to the risk of material adverse unindemnified tax
          consequences, or if in the opinion of such Tax Indemnitee it would be
          so subject, such Tax Indemnitee shall provide to Tenant a written
          statement articulating the reasons for the Tax Indemnitee's failure to
          comply; or

               (vii)  any Indemnified Tax attributable to the business
          activities of the Landlord or the Owner Participant or their
          respective Tax Affiliates in the

                                     - 65 -
<PAGE>
 
          jurisdiction imposing such Indemnified Tax which activities are
          unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Sale and Leaseback
          Documents, but only to the extent attributable to, and increased by,
          such unrelated activities;

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 24 to the contrary, Tenant shall
indemnify Owner Participant, Remainderman Participant and their respective
Affiliates for any Indemnified Tax imposed under Section 4975 of the Code or
Section 502 of ERISA with respect to the purchase, sale, holding or transfer of
the Notes or Certificates.

     (c) (i) If any written claim shall be made against a Tax Indemnitee or if
any proceeding shall be commenced against any such Tax Indemnitee, such Tax
Indemnitee shall notify the Tenant in writing of the commencement thereof
(provided, that failure to so notify Tenant shall not release Tenant from any of
 --------                                                                       
its obligations to indemnify such Tax Indemnitee hereunder except to the extent
such failure precludes Tenant from contesting such claim hereunder or such
failure materially increases the amount of such claim but only to the extent of
such increase), but shall not take any action with respect to such claim or
proceeding without the written consent of Tenant, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, for 60 days after the receipt of such notice
by Tenant; provided, however, that, in the case of any such action, suit or
proceeding, if a Tax Indemnitee shall be required by law or regulation to take
action prior to the end of such 60-day period, such Tax Indemnitee shall in such
notice to Tenant, so inform Tenant, and Tax Indemnitee shall not take any action
with respect to such action, suit or proceeding without the written consent of
Tenant, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, for 10 days
after the receipt of such notice by Tenant unless such Tax Indemnitee shall be
required by law or regulation to take action prior to the end of such 10-day
period, in which case such Tax Indemnitee may take any action with respect to
such claim, proceeding or assessment prior to the end of such 10-day period,
provided such Tax Indemnitee has not, at the time of taking such action,
received a written request contemplated by subsection (A), below.

               (A) If requested by Tenant within 60 days or such shorter period
          as specified above, after receipt by Tenant of the required notice
          with respect to the claim or proceeding that is the subject of such
          notice, the Tax Indemnitee either (i) in the case of a claim which may
          be contested in the name of the Tenant and independently (without
          joinder, contribution or otherwise) from any claim, proceeding or
          action that is not subject to indemnification by Tenant, shall permit
          Tenant to control or, in the case of any claim, proceeding or action,
          may

                                     - 66 -
<PAGE>
 
          request the Tenant to control, or (ii) in the case of a claim,
          proceeding or action which must be contested in the name of the Tax
          Indemnitee or its Affiliates, but which may be contested independently
          (without joinder, contribution or otherwise) from any claim,
          proceeding or action that is not subject to indemnification by Tenant,
          may, upon prior written consent by the Tax Indemnitee which consent
          shall be in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, permit
          Tenant to control (so long as, in the good faith judgment of the Tax
          Indemnitee, there is no reasonable possibility that the Tenant's
          direction of such contest could have any adverse impact on the
          financial or public relations interests of the Tax Indemnitee or its
          Affiliates, in which case, the Tax Indemnitee may assert or reassert
          control of the contest; the Tax Indemnitee shall itself, contest in
          good faith (including, without limitation, by pursuit of appeals and
          administrative procedures) the validity, applicability or amount of
          such Assessments.

               (B) In the case of any action, suit or proceeding described
          above, the Tax Indemnitee and Tenant shall fully cooperate and shall
          supply one another with such information and documents as may be
          reasonably requested by the party in control to fully and effectively
          prosecute and conduct such action, suit or proceeding, provided that
          nothing herein shall require Tenant or a Tax Indemnitee to provide the
          other party with its income tax returns.

               (C) In no event shall any contest of Indemnified Taxes be
          required or permitted under this subsection (c) unless:

               (1) In the case of a contest pursuant to subsection
          (c)(i)(A)(ii), the amount at issue (taking into account all similar
          and logically related claims with respect to the transactions
          contemplated by the Operative Documents that  have been or could be
          raised in an audit by the tax authority in question for any other
          taxable period with respect to which an assessment of tax deficiency
          is not barred by a statute of limitations, including, without
          limitation, such claims that may arise in future periods) exceeds
          $25,000;

               (2) Tenant shall have agreed in writing to pay the Tax Indemnitee
          and shall pay on an After-Tax Basis as incurred all reasonable out-of-
          pocket costs and expenses the Tax Indemnitee shall incur in connection
          with the contest of such claim (including, without limitation, all

                                     - 67 -
<PAGE>
 
          reasonable costs, expenses, legal and accounting fees and
          disbursements);

               (3) the Tax Indemnitee shall have determined in its sole
          discretion, exercised in good faith, that the action to be taken will
          not result in any material danger of sale, forfeiture or loss of any
          of the Property, or any part thereof or interest therein or the
          creation of any lien on any of the Property or any part thereof or
          interest therein, other than any Permitted Liens and that there is no
          risk of criminal liability that may be imposed on or with respect to
          the Tax Indemnitee;

               (4) if such contest is to be effected by payment of the claim,
          Tenant shall advance the amount thereof plus, as applicable, interest,
          penalties and additions to tax with respect thereto on an interest-
          free basis (at no additional net after-tax cost to the Tax Indemnitee
          but taking into account any net tax savings associated with such
          advance);

               (5) no Material Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
          and be continuing;

               (6) In the case of a contest pursuant to subsection
          (c)(i)(A)(ii), prior to initiating the contest, Tenant shall have
          furnished the Tax Indemnitee with an opinion of independent tax
          counsel selected by the Tenant and reasonably acceptable to the Tax
          Indemnitee ("Tax Counsel"), which opinion shall be furnished solely at
          Tenant's expense, to the effect that a Reasonable Basis exists for
          such contest, and prior to the appeal of any adverse judicial
          determination, Tenant shall have furnished the Tax Indemnitee with an
          opinion of Tax Counsel, which opinion shall be furnished solely at
          Tenant's expense, to the effect that there is a Reasonable Basis for
          concluding that there will be a reversal or other substantial
          modification of such determination on appeal; and

               (7) after the completion of an administrative proceeding of first
          instance and prior to any administrative appeal, Tenant shall have
          acknowledged in writing its  obligation to indemnify the Tax
          Indemnitee for the Tax claim hereunder in the event the contest is
          unsuccessful (in whole or in part).  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
          Tenant shall have acknowledged in writing its obligation to indemnify
          (in whole or in part) the Tax Indemnitee for the Tax claim hereunder
          in the event that the contest is unsuccessful (in whole or in part)
          prior to any petition or complaint to a court.  Any such

                                     - 68 -
<PAGE>
 
          acknowledgment hereunder shall not preclude Tenant from raising a
          defense to liability under this Section 24 if a court of competent and
          proper jurisdiction has rendered a decision that the cause of the
          claim is not one for which Tenant is responsible hereunder or under
          Article 6 of the Lease.


          (ii) No Tax Indemnitee shall enter into any settlement or other
     compromise with respect to any claim for any Indemnified Tax which is the
     subject of a contest under this subsection (c) which it asserts is entitled
     to be indemnified under this Section 24 without the prior written consent
     of the Tenant, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless
     such Tax Indemnitee waives its right to be indemnified under this Section
     24 with respect to such claim.  In no event shall a Tax Indemnitee be
     required to contest any claim, proceeding or Tax if the subject matter of
     such claim, proceeding or Tax shall be of a continuing nature and shall
     have previously been the subject of an adverse final determination
     hereunder or under Article 6 of the Lease after exercise by Tenant of its
     rights pursuant to this Section 24 or under Article 6 of the Lease unless
     Tenant shall have delivered to the Tax Indemnitee at Tenant's expense an
     opinion of Tax Counsel to the effect that as a result of a change in law or
     fact it is more likely than not that the Tax Indemnitee will prevail in the
     contest of such claim.  In addition, in no event will a Tax Indemnitee be
     required, or Tenant allowed, to prosecute an appeal of an adverse
     determination to the United States Supreme Court.

          (iii)  Any amount payable to a Tax Indemnitee with respect to an
     Indemnified Tax which is the subject of this subsection (c) shall be paid
     to such Tax Indemnitee within 60 days after the Tenant's receipt of a
     written demand therefor from such Tax Indemnitee, accompanied by a written
     statement describing the basis for such indemnity and the computation of
     the amount so payable; provided, however, in the case of any claim for
     Indemnified Tax that is contested in accordance with this subsection (c),
     any indemnity payment hereunder with respect to such contested Indemnified
     Tax (but only to the extent of any amounts contested hereunder) may be
     deferred until a final resolution of such contest hereunder;

          (iv) Upon payment in full of any Indemnified Tax by the Tenant
     pursuant to this Section 24 to or on behalf of an Tax Indemnitee, the
     Tenant, without any further action, shall be subrogated to the indemnified
     claim and any and all claims that such Tax Indemnitee may have relating
     thereto (other than claims in respect of insurance  policies maintained by
     such Tax Indemnitee at its own expense), provided however, that Tenant's
     right to receive the economic benefit of such

                                     - 69 -
<PAGE>
 
     subrogation shall not otherwise waive or amend the contest provisions of
     this subsection (c) other than with respect to Tenant's entitlement to
     receive such economic benefit if such benefit is obtained and such Tax
     Indemnitee shall at Tenant's expense execute such instruments of assignment
     and conveyance, evidence of claims and payment and such other documents,
     instruments and agreements as may be reasonably necessary to preserve any
     such claims and otherwise reasonably cooperate with the Tenant and give
     such further assurances as are reasonably necessary or advisable to enable
     the Tenant to pursue such claims.

     (d)  (i)  Each Tax Indemnitee agrees to take any action at Tenant's expense
reasonably requested by Tenant to avoid or minimize the amount of such tax;
provided that such Tax Indemnitee determines in good faith, after consultation
- --------                                                                      
with Tenant's counsel, that neither the Tax Indemnitee nor any of its respective
Tax Affiliates will suffer any adverse consequences as a result of taking such
requested action;

          (ii) If a Tax Indemnitee shall receive a refund of all or part of any
Indemnified Tax paid, reimbursed or advanced by Tenant with respect to any
Contest under this Section 24, then, such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to Tenant
within 30 days of such receipt an amount equal to the lesser of:  (A) the amount
of such refund of such Indemnified Tax plus or minus any net tax benefit or cost
(taking into account any Tax incurred by such Tax Indemnitee by reason of the
receipt or accrual of such refund) realized by such Tax Indemnitee as a result
of the receipt or accrual of such refund and as a result of any payment made
pursuant to this sentence (including this clause (A)), and (B) the amount of
such Indemnified Tax paid, reimbursed or advanced by Tenant to such Tax
Indemnitee, it being intended that the applicable Tax Indemnitee shall retain a
net tax benefit pursuant to this Section 24 only if Tenant shall first have been
reimbursed for all Indemnified Tax it paid to any applicable Tax Indemnitee
pursuant to this Section 24.  If, in addition to such refund, a Tax Indemnitee
shall receive an amount representing interest on the amount of such refund, such
Tax Indemnitee shall pay Tenant within 30 days of receipt, that portion of such
interest that shall be fairly attributable to Indemnified Tax paid, reimbursed
or advanced by Tenant prior to the receipt of such refund taking into account
the net tax effect to such Tax Indemnitee of the receipt or accrual of the
portion of such interest fairly attributable to the Indemnified Tax paid,
reimbursed or advanced by Tenant hereunder and the payment to Tenant hereunder.
Any subsequent denial, loss, repayment or recapture of such refund will be
treated as an Indemnified Tax for which the Tenant is responsible hereunder
subject to Tenant's rights to contest such denial, loss, repayment or recapture
under, and in accordance with, this Section 24(c) as though it were a new claim,
proceeding or Indemnified Tax hereunder.

          Nothing in this Section 24 shall be construed to limit Tenant's
obligations under Article 6 of the Lease with respect to Assessments and nothing
in Article 6 of the Lease shall be construed to limit Tenant's obligations to
Remainderman Trustee or Remainderman Participant under this Section 24.

     (e) For purposes of this Section 24, the following terms shall have the
meanings ascribed to them below.

          "After-Tax Basis" shall have the same meaning with respect to any Tax

Indemnitee as is set forth in the Tax Indemnification Agreement.

Trustee to the payment of interest due and payable on the Notes on such date)
pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture unless the Indenture Trustee shall
have received such payment from the Owner Trustee on such due date, sufficient
for payment in full of the interest then due and owing on the Notes in
accordance with Section 21 of the Participation Agreement. So long as no
Material Default or Event of Default (as each are hereinafter defined) has
occurred and is continuing and in the event Tenant pays Special Additional Rent
pursuant to this paragraph and is not promptly reimbursed therefor by the Owner

offset and deduct (without duplication) the unreimbursed portion of such

<PAGE>
 
reimbursement obligation of Owner Participant against each succeeding payment or
portion thereof (other than as limited by the last sentence of this subsection
(b)) due from Tenant to Landlord in respect of Rent, Termination Value or any
other amount due hereunder or under any other Operative Document to the Owner
Participant (either directly or through Landlord) (in the order in which the
same become due), until Tenant has been fully reimbursed for such payment of
Special Additional Rent plus interest on the unreimbursed portion thereof at the
rate set forth in clause (ii) of the definition of the Default Rate in Article
3(c) hereof, and in each case, such offset shall be deemed to constitute a
reduction in the amount of the reimbursement obligation of the Owner
Participant.  No such offset or aggregate combined effect of separate offsets
shall reduce the amount of any installment of Basic Rent or Termination Value to
an amount insufficient, together with all other amounts payable simultaneously
by Tenant, to pay in full the payments then required to be made on account of
the principal amount of and any interest on the Notes then outstanding and any
Make-Whole Premium.

          (c) In the event any Rent payable to Landlord is not received by
Landlord on the due date therefor, a late charge shall be incurred and shall be
paid as Additional Rent hereunder on the amount due from the due date therefor
to the date of payment thereof in an amount equal to (i) one percent (1%) above
the weighted average annual coupon rate of interest on such portion of Rent
equal to the then due principal, interest and premium thereon on the Notes and
(ii) in the case of such portion of Rent not described in clause (i), interest
on such other Rent not paid when due at a rate per annum equal to the rate of
interest publicly announced by Citibank, N.A., in New York, New York from time
to time as its "prime rate" for United States dollar loans plus two percent
(2%), but in any event with respect to clause (i) or (ii) above, an amount not
in excess of that permitted by law.  If such bank shall no longer exist, or
shall no longer publicly announce a "prime rate", then Landlord may designate by
notice to Tenant a substitute banking institution of equivalent recognition and
standing as of the date hereof to determine the "prime rate".  Such charges at
such rates are referred to herein collectively as the "Default Rate."

          (d) Tenant covenants to Landlord that (i) as of the date hereof and as
of the date of each Rental Adjustment (as referenced below), each installment of
Special Additional Rent and Basic Rent as of the due date of such installment as
set forth on Exhibit C hereto, as adjusted, if required, is, and shall be, under
any circumstances and in any event, in an amount which, together with any other
amounts required to be paid by Tenant, will be at least sufficient for Landlord
to pay in full, as of the due date of such installment, any scheduled payment of
principal of and interest on the Notes, as well as any other amounts required to
be paid by Landlord pursuant to the Indenture on such due date; and

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
(ii) as of the date hereof, the date of each Rental Adjustment (as referenced
below) and the date of each Termination Value adjustment the sum of all Special
Additional Rent and Basic Rent payable in arrears on such date together with
each Termination Value set forth on Exhibit D hereto, as adjusted, if required,
and any other amounts required to be paid by Tenant is, and shall be, sufficient
to enable Landlord to pay in full, as of the date of payment thereof, the
aggregate unpaid principal of the outstanding Landlord's Debt required to be
paid by Landlord as of such date under the Indenture (as in effect on the date
hereof), together with all unpaid interest thereon accrued to the date on which
such amount is paid.

          (e) In the event that a Rental Adjustment shall be required pursuant
to and in accordance with Section 22 of the Participation Agreement, Landlord
and Tenant shall execute and deliver (i) to each other and to Indenture Trustee
a supplement to the Lease, to reflect such adjustment, provided that such
adjustment shall be effective for all purposes of this Lease regardless of
whether such supplement is actually executed and delivered, and (ii) to
Indenture Trustee, a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1
hereto.  "Rental Adjustment" shall have the meaning set forth in Section 22 of
the Participation Agreement and shall include adjustment of Termination Values
pursuant to such Section.

     4.   Net Lease; Non-Termination.

          (a) Tenant acknowledges and agrees that this Lease is an absolute net
lease.  All monetary obligations under this Lease, including, but not limited
to, payment of all Rent shall be paid by Tenant without notice, demand, setoff,
counterclaim, abatement, deduction or defense, except as expressly provided in
Article 3(b) hereof.  Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease (except
as expressly provided in Articles 14, 15 and 39 hereof) nor shall Tenant be
entitled to any abatement or reduction of Rent hereunder (except to the extent
this Lease is terminated as expressly provided in Articles 14, 15 and 39 hereof
and except for Special Additional Rent as provided in Article 3(b) hereof), nor
shall the obligations of Tenant under this Lease be affected, by reason of:  (i)
any damage to, or removal, abandonment, dismantling, loss, theft or destruction
of all or any part of the Demised Premises from whatever cause, (ii) the taking
of the Demised Premises or any portion thereof by eminent domain or other taking
by a party empowered with the authority of eminent domain, (iii) the
prohibition, limitation or restriction of Tenant's use of all or any part of the
Demised Premises, or any interference with such use, (iv) any default on the
part of Landlord under this Lease, (v) any eviction by a holder of paramount
title or otherwise, (vi) any purported merger of estates resulting from Tenant's
acquisition or ownership of all or any part of the Demised Premises otherwise
than as expressly provided herein, (vii) the invalidity, illegality or

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
unenforceability of this Lease, any other Operative Document or any other
instrument referred to herein or therein or any other infirmity herein or
therein or any lack of right, power or authority of Landlord, Tenant, Owner
Participant, Indenture Trustee, Pass Through Trustee, Remainderman Trustee,
Remainderman Participant (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) or any other
Person (as defined in Appendix A to the Indenture) to enter into this Lease, or
any other Operative Document, or to perform the obligations hereunder or
thereunder or consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any
doctrine of force majeure, impossibility, frustration or failure of
consideration; (viii) the breach or failure of any warranty or representation
made in this Lease or any other Operative Document by Landlord, Tenant, Owner
Participant, Indenture Trustee, Pass Through Trustee, Remainderman Trustee,
Remainderman Participant, or any other Person; or (ix) any other cause whether
similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, any present or future law to the
contrary notwithstanding.

          (b) Tenant agrees that it will remain obligated under this Lease in
accordance with its terms, and that it will not take any action to terminate,
rescind or void this Lease, notwithstanding (i) the bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or winding-
up or other proceeding affecting Landlord or its successors in interest, or (ii)
any action with respect to this Lease which may be taken by any trustee or
receiver of Landlord or its successor in interest or by any court in any such
proceeding.  Tenant hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, any and all
rights that it may now have or that at any time hereafter may be conferred upon
it, by statute or otherwise, to modify, terminate, cancel, quit or surrender
this Lease or to effect or claim any diminution or reduction of any Rent payable
by Tenant hereunder, except in accordance with the express terms hereof.  Tenant
agrees that if for any reason whatsoever this Lease shall be terminated in whole
or in part by operation of law or otherwise (other than a termination by
Landlord or Tenant as expressly provided for in this Lease), then, except as
provided herein, Tenant shall pay, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to
Landlord or any other Person entitled thereto, an amount equal to each
installment of Basic Rent and all Additional Rent at the time such payment would
have become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof had this Lease
not been so terminated.  Each payment of Basic Rent, Special Additional Rent
and/or Additional Rent made by Tenant hereunder shall be final and Tenant shall
not seek or have any right to recover all or any part of such payment from
Landlord or any Person for any reason whatsoever, except as specifically
provided in Article 3(b) hereof.  Under no circumstances or conditions shall
Landlord be expected or required to make any payment of any kind hereunder or
have any obligations with respect to the use, possession, control, maintenance,
alteration, rebuilding, replacing, repair, restoration or operation of all or
any part of the Demised Premises or the Common Areas (as defined in Article 7),
so long as the Demised Premises or any part

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
thereof are subject to this Lease, and Tenant expressly waives the right to
perform any such action at the expense of Landlord pursuant to any law.

     5.   No Continuous Operation.

          Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed to be a covenant or
other obligation on the part of Tenant, either express or implied, to operate a
business at the Demised Premises, except as the same may be required by Laws or
by any agreement Tenant is required to comply with pursuant to Article 9(b)
hereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant agrees to provide Landlord with
written notice of Tenant's intention to cease the operation of business at the
Demised Premises, or any part thereof, and of Tenant's intention, if any, to
resume such operation, no less than 60 days prior to the date at which such
cessation or resumption, as the case may be, of business is scheduled to occur.

     6.   Real Estate Taxes.

          (a) Tenant shall, at no after-tax cost to Landlord or Owner
Participant, pay and discharge all ad valorem real estate taxes or other taxes
in the nature thereof and all assessments, general or specific (regardless how
named or denominated), levied or imposed against or with respect to (i) the
Demised Premises or any part thereof or interest therein or any addition,
alteration, modification or improvement thereto, (ii) the Remainder Interest,
(iii) the Rent, or (iv) Landlord's interest in this Lease or the Ground Lease
(as defined in Article 8 hereof) or in the Demised Premises, including, in each
case, any interest, penalties and additions to tax relating to such taxes or
assessments (collectively referred to as "Property Assessments") at any time
prior to, during or with respect to any period ending on or prior to, or
resulting from or attributable in any respect to acts or events occurring on or
prior to or relating to payments made by Tenant under the Operative Documents at
any time prior to or after, the later of (x) the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease and (y) Tenant's actual return of possession of the
Demised Premises in accordance with this Lease.

          (b) Tenant shall also, at no after-tax cost to Landlord or Owner
Participant, pay and discharge all taxes, levies, charges, licenses, fees,
imposts, duties, withholdings, liabilities, costs, expenses or assessments of
the United States of America or any state or political subdivision or taxing
authority thereof or therein (including any interest, penalties and additions to
tax thereon or thereto), which are levied, assessed or imposed on or with
respect to Landlord, Tenant, the Demised Premises or any part thereof or
interest therein or any addition, alteration, modification or improvements
thereto, the Remainder Interest or the Rent payable hereunder including, without
limitation, taxes or such other amounts that are or are in the nature of sales,
use, rental,

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
value added, filing, recording and transfer taxes, and any and all water, sewer
or other such charges, excises, levies, fees, licenses, duties, withholdings,
permits, inspections, real property franchise charges and other governmental
charges of every character (in each case, regardless how named or denominated)
which, at any time prior to, during or with respect to any period or portion
thereof ending on or prior to, or resulting from or attributable in any respect
to acts or events occurring on or prior to or relating to payments made by the
Tenant under the Operative Documents at any time prior to or after, the later of
(x) the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and (y) the Tenant's
actual return of possession of the Demised Premises in accordance with this
Lease, may be levied, assessed or imposed on or in connection with or with
respect to (i) the Demised Premises, or any estate, right, title or interest
therein, or any construction, preparation, installation, inspection, delivery,
non-delivery, acceptance, rejection, purchase, ownership, condition,
maintenance, repair, storage, abandonment, retirement, substitution, transfer,
occupancy, operation, leasing, subleasing, use or possession of, or sales from,
or other activity conducted on the Demised Premises, any part thereof or any
addition, alteration, modification or improvement thereto, (ii) the Remainder
Interest, (iii) this Lease or the Ground Lease, (iv) the Rent or receipts or
earnings arising from or received by a party entitled to the benefits of this
Article 6 with respect to the Demised Premises or any part thereof or any
interest therein or any dispositions thereof, (v) any other amount paid or
payable pursuant to this Lease or any document, amendment, supplement, waiver or
consent relating thereto, or (vi) otherwise with respect to or in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Lease.  Any such taxes, levies,
charges, assessments or other amounts payable by Tenant hereunder together with
Property Assessments payable by Tenant hereunder shall be referred to as
"Assessments" for all purposes of this Lease.

          (c) Nothing in paragraphs (a) and (b) shall require Tenant to pay or
reimburse Landlord for the payment of (w) any federal, state or municipal net
income tax (including any interest, penalties and additions to tax thereon or
thereto), or any net profit, inheritance, estate, succession, gift, or franchise
tax (regardless how named or denominated) except for any such tax (i) which is
in direct substitution (which direct substitution is documented by published
administrative regulation, fiat or other official ruling, notice or release of
any kind and/or in a statutory enactment or legislative history thereof by the
state or political subdivision which enacted and/or levied any such tax) for any
Assessment which Tenant is obligated to pay under this Lease, (ii) which is, or
is in the nature of, a real property franchise charge, or a sales, use, rental,
property, value added, transfer, stamp or license tax, (iii) which is necessary
to make any payments hereunder on an After-Tax Basis (as defined in the
Participation Agreement), (x) any transfer tax imposed upon the sale of all or a
part of the Demised Premises by Landlord except for (i) a sale and

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
transfer pursuant to Tenant's Purchase Offer set forth in Articles 14, 15 or 40
hereof or any sale under Article 39 hereof, (ii) any disposition or transfer
arising out of or in connection with Articles 10, 13, 21 or 41 hereof, and (iii)
a transfer in connection with an Event of Default hereunder, (y) any tax,
assessment, charge or levy imposed or levied upon or assessed against any
property, any income or any business activity of Landlord solely to the extent
such tax, assessment, charge or levy would have been imposed or levied on
Landlord in the absence of the transactions contemplated by the Operative
Documents (including any intangibles tax imposed with respect to any debt or
investment paper of Landlord that is unrelated to the transactions contemplated
by any of the Operative Documents, the Notes or the Pass Through Certificates),
or (z) with respect to Landlord, any tax resulting from the willful misconduct
(including tax fraud) or gross negligence of Landlord which misconduct or
negligence is not imputed to Landlord solely by reason of its participation in
the transactions contemplated by this Lease and is not attributable to a breach
or default by Tenant.

          (d) The date of levy of all Assessments shall be deemed to be the
earlier of the due date for such Assessment or the date specified by each
applicable taxing jurisdiction on which such taxes shall become a lien on the
Demised Premises.  Tenant's liability and obligation hereunder to pay such
Assessments shall be fully accrued, fixed and final on the date of levy thereof
subject to the rights to contest any such Assessments provided in this Article
6.  In the event any such Assessments shall under law be payable to the
applicable taxing authority in a lump sum or on an installment basis, so long as
no Material Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
Tenant shall have the sole right to elect the basis of legal payment.  If Tenant
shall elect to pay such Assessments on the installment basis, then Tenant shall
pay those installments which relate to Assessments payable by Tenant hereunder
directly to the applicable taxing authority.

          (e) (1) If any written claim shall be made against Landlord or if any
proceeding shall be commenced against Landlord (including a written notice of
such proceeding) for any Assessments as to which Tenant may be obligated
pursuant to this Article 6, Landlord shall promptly notify Tenant in writing and
shall not take any action with respect to such claim, proceeding or Assessments
without the written consent of Tenant, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, for 60 days after the receipt of such notice by Tenant;
provided, however, that, in the case of any such claim, proceeding or
Assessment, if Landlord shall be required by law or regulation to take action
prior to the end of such 60-day period, Landlord shall in such notice to Tenant,
so inform Tenant, and Landlord shall not take any action with respect to such
claim, proceeding or Assessment without the written consent of Tenant, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, for 10

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
days after the receipt of such notice by Tenant unless Landlord shall be
required by law or regulation to take action prior to the end of such 10-day
period, in which case Landlord may take any action with respect to such claim,
proceeding or Assessment prior to the end of such 10-day period, provided
Landlord has not, at the time of taking such action, received a written request
contemplated by 6(e)(2), below; provided that Landlord's failure to give notice
required by this paragraph shall not relieve Tenant of its obligations under
this Article 6 except to the extent Tenant's ability to cause a contest of such
claim is legally precluded by such failure or materially prejudiced by such
failure.

          (2) If requested by Tenant within 60 days or such shorter period as
specified in 6(e)(1) above, after receipt by Tenant of the required notice with
respect to the claim or proceeding that is the subject of such notice, or, in
the case of any claim or proceeding with respect to which Tenant (as opposed to
Landlord) receives notice, upon the request of Tenant, Landlord either (i) in
the case of an Assessment which may be contested in the name of Tenant and
independently (without joinder, contribution or otherwise) from any claim,
proceeding or Assessment that is not subject to indemnification by Tenant, shall
permit Tenant to control or, in the case of any claim, proceeding or Assessment,
may request Tenant to control, or (ii) in the case of a claim, proceeding or
Assessment which must be contested in the name of Landlord, but which may be
contested independently (without joinder, contribution or otherwise) from any
claim, proceeding or Assessment that is not subject to indemnification by
Tenant, may, upon prior written consent by Landlord which consent shall be in
its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, permit Tenant to control (so long
as, in the good faith judgment of Owner Participant, there is no reasonable
possibility that the Tenant's direction of  such contest could have any adverse
impact on the financial or public relations interests of Landlord or Owner
Participant or any tax affiliates thereof (which for purposes hereof means any
entity which is included in the same consolidated or combined tax return as
Landlord or Owner Participant), in which case, Landlord may assert or reassert
control of the contest; provided, however, the foregoing right to assert or
reassert control shall not apply to any ad valorem real estate or personal
property tax contest) (any contest of any claim, proceeding or Assessment
("Contest") described in the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) and for so long as
Tenant controls the Contest being hereinafter referred to as a "Tenant-
Controlled Contest,") or (iii) in the case of an Assessment the Contest of which
is not a Tenant-Controlled Contest, shall itself, contest in good faith
(including, without limitation, by pursuit of appeals and administrative
procedures) the validity, applicability or amount of such Assessments.

          (3) No matter who is in control, a Contest, at the election of the
Controlling Party (as defined herein), may include,

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
without limitation, a challenge to the validity, applicability or amount of such
Assessment by:

               (i) resisting payment thereof;

              (ii) not paying the same except under protest (which protest must
     be pursued using reasonable efforts in appropriate administrative and/or
     judicial proceedings) if protest shall be necessary and proper; or

             (iii) if payment shall be made, using reasonable efforts to obtain
     a refund thereof in appropriate administrative and/or judicial proceedings

(it being understood that Tenant may appeal or require Landlord to appeal to any
appropriate administrative or judicial appeal body; provided, however, that no
appeal shall be permitted or required hereunder to the United States Supreme
Court.)

               (4) In no event shall such Contest be required or permitted
unless:

               (i) in the case of a contest (A) which must be contested in the
     name of Landlord or (B) which is contested by Landlord in the name of
     Tenant, the amount at issue (taking into account all similar and logically
     related claims with respect to the transactions contemplated by the
     Operative Documents to the extent relating to the Demised Premises that
     have been or could be raised in an audit by the taxing authority in
     question for any other taxable period with respect to which an assessment
     of a tax deficiency is not barred by a statute of limitations, including,
     without limitation, such claims that may arise in future periods) exceeds
     $25,000;

               (ii) Tenant shall have agreed in writing to pay Landlord and
     shall pay on an After-Tax Basis (as defined in the Participation Agreement)
     as incurred all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses Owner
     Participant and Landlord shall  incur in connection with the contest of
     such claim (including, without limitation, all reasonable costs, expenses,
     legal and accounting fees and disbursements);

               (iii)  Landlord shall have determined in its sole discretion,
     exercised in good faith, that the action to be taken will not result in any
     material danger of sale, forfeiture or loss of any of the Demised Premises,
     the Remainder Interest or any part thereof or interest therein or the
     creation of any lien on any of the Demised Premises, the Remainder Interest
     or any part thereof or interest therein, other than any Permitted

                                       12
<PAGE>
 
     Liens and that there is no risk of criminal liability that may be imposed
     on or with respect to Landlord or Owner Participant;

               (iv) if such Contest is to be effected by payment of the claim,
     Tenant shall advance the amount thereof plus, as applicable, interest,
     penalties and additions to tax with respect thereto on an interest-free
     basis (at no additional net after-tax cost to Landlord or Owner Participant
     but taking into account any net tax savings associated with such advance);

               (v) no Material Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
     and be continuing;

               (vi) in the case of a Contest which must be contested in the name
     of Landlord or which is contested by Landlord in the name of Tenant, (A)
     prior to initiating the Contest, Tenant shall have furnished Landlord with
     an opinion of independent tax counsel selected by the Tenant and reasonably
     acceptable to Landlord ("Tax Counsel"), which opinion shall be furnished
     solely at Tenant's expense, to the effect that a Reasonable Basis (as
     defined in the Tax Indemnification Agreement) exists for such Contest and
     (B) prior to the appeal of any adverse judicial determination, Tenant shall
     have furnished Landlord with an opinion of Tax Counsel, which opinion shall
     be furnished solely at Tenant's expense, to the effect that there is a
     Reasonable Basis for concluding that there will be a reversal or other
     substantial favorable modification of such determination on appeal; and

               (vii)  After the completion of an administrative proceeding of
     first instance and prior to any administrative appeal, Tenant shall have
     acknowledged in writing its obligation to indemnify Landlord for the
     Assessment hereunder in the event the Contest is unsuccessful (in whole or
     in part) or shall, in good faith, have notified Landlord of the reasons
     Tenant is not or may not be liable for the Assessment if the Contest is
     unsuccessful (in whole or in part).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant
     shall have acknowledged in writing its obligation to indemnify (in whole or
     in part) Landlord for the Assessment hereunder in the event that the
     Contest is unsuccessful (in whole or in part) prior to any petition or
     complaint to a  court.  Any such acknowledgment hereunder shall not
     preclude Tenant from raising a defense to liability under this Article 6 if
     a court of competent and proper jurisdiction has rendered a decision that
     the cause of the claim is not one for which Tenant is responsible to

                                       13
<PAGE>
 
     pay an Assessment hereunder or an indemnity under Section 24 of the
     Participation Agreement.

          (5) In no event shall Landlord be required to contest any claim,
proceeding or Assessment if the subject matter of such claim, proceeding or
Assessment shall be of a continuing nature and shall have previously been the
subject of an adverse final determination hereunder or under the Participation
Agreement after exercise by Tenant of its rights pursuant to this Article 6 or
under the Participation Agreement, unless Tenant shall have delivered to
Landlord at Tenant's expense an opinion of Tax Counsel to the effect that as a
result of a change in law or fact it is more likely than not that Landlord will
prevail in the contest of such claim.

          (6) Tenant shall conduct any Tenant-Controlled Contest and Landlord
shall control any Contest other than a Tenant-Controlled Contest.  The party
conducting the Contest ("Controlling Party") shall consult in good faith with
the other party ("Noncontrolling Party") and its counsel with respect to such
Contest but the decisions regarding what actions to be taken shall be made by
the Controlling Party in its sole judgment (exercised in good faith).  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 or
any affiliate thereof, in connection with such claim, proceeding or Assessment
and/or the contest thereof.

          (7) Except as provided in the next sentence hereof, Landlord shall not
settle any Contest hereunder without the consent of Tenant, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Article 6, Landlord shall not be required to contest any claim or permit Tenant
to contest any claim and may settle any Contest without the consent of Tenant if
Landlord (i) shall waive its right to reimbursement or indemnity under this
Article 6 and under the Participation Agreement or otherwise with respect to
such claim for such claim, proceeding or Assessment (and any claim made by the
claiming taxing authority or any other taxing authority with respect to the same
or any other taxable periods that are effectively determined by the resolution
of such claim), and (ii) shall pay to Tenant any amount previously paid or
advanced by Tenant pursuant to this Article 6 or under the Participation
Agreement with respect to such claim for such Assessment or the contest of such
Assessment other than the costs and expenses of the contest of such claim paid
or reimbursed by Tenant.

          (f) (1) Any amount payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this
Article 6 shall be paid within 30 days after receipt by Tenant of a written
demand therefor from Landlord

                                       14
<PAGE>
 
accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail the amount so
payable, but (except as provided in this Article 6) shall in no event be payable
more than five Business Days before such Assessment is due.  Any payments made
pursuant to this Article 6 shall be made directly to Landlord or to Tenant, as
the case may be, in immediately payable 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 and mailed to the payee by certified mail, postage prepaid at its
address as set forth herein, or in the Purchase Agreement or as provided to the
payor from time to time in writing.  Any Assessments which are the obligation of
Tenant hereunder shall be payable by Tenant, to the extent allowed, directly to
the appropriate taxing authority on or before the time, and in the manner,
prescribed by applicable Laws without the necessity of any prior demand by
Landlord.

          (2) In the event Tenant fails to make any payment required under this
Article 6, and Landlord makes a payment with respect to any such Assessments
that are due and payable at the time of such payment (other than with funds
advanced to Landlord on an interest-free basis by Tenant pursuant to this
Article 6) Tenant shall pay to Landlord interest on the amount of such payment
at the Default Rate from (A) the date of payment by Landlord if it notifies
Tenant that such payment has been made within 5 days of making such payment, or
(B) from the date Landlord notifies Tenant of such payment in all other cases,
in either case to the date of payment by Tenant to Landlord hereunder.  Any
amount payable under this Article 6 that is not paid when due shall bear
interest at the Default Rate.

          (3) Any amount payable to Tenant pursuant to this Article 6 shall not
be paid or retained by Tenant if at the time of such payment or retention a
Material Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.  At
such time as there shall not be continuing any such Material Default or Event of
Default, such amounts shall be paid to Tenant to the extent not previously paid
to Tenant.

          (g) If any report, return or statement ("Filing") is required to be
filed with respect to any Assessment that is subject to reimbursement or
indemnification under this Article 6 or otherwise, Tenant shall promptly notify
Landlord of such requirement in writing and, if permitted by applicable Laws and
regulations to do so, Tenant shall timely file or cause to be filed such Filing
with respect to such Assessment (except for any such Filing that Landlord has
notified Tenant in writing that Landlord intends to file) and will (if ownership
of the Demised Premises or any part thereof or interest therein is required to
be shown on such Filing) show the ownership of the Demised Premises in the name
of Landlord and send a copy of such Filing to Landlord; provided, however, that
Landlord, at Tenant's written request, shall have

                                       15
<PAGE>
 
furnished Tenant with such information, not within the control of Tenant, as is
in Landlord's control or is reasonably available to Landlord and necessary to
file such Filing; provided, however, Tenant shall pay on an After-Tax Basis all
out-of-pocket expenses of Landlord and Owner Participant in connection
therewith.  If Tenant is not permitted by applicable Laws to file any such
Filing, Tenant will promptly notify Landlord of such requirement in writing and
prepare and deliver to Landlord a proposed form of  such Filing within a
reasonable time, and in all events at least 15 days prior to the time such
Filing is required to be filed.  In the case of any Filing either required to
reflect items in addition to Assessments imposed on Tenant under this Article 6
(or indemnified against by Kmart under Section 24 of the Participation Agreement
or under the Tax Indemnification Agreement) or which Landlord has notified
Tenant in writing that it will prepare and file, Tenant shall, at its expense,
upon the written request of Landlord, provide Landlord with such information as
is within Tenant's reasonable control or access.  Tenant shall hold Landlord
harmless from and against any liabilities, including, but not limited to
penalties, additions to tax, fines and interest, arising out of any
insufficiency or inaccuracy in any such Filing, if such insufficiency or
inaccuracy is attributable to Tenant.

          (h) Tenant's obligations provided for in this Article 6 shall be those
of a primary obligor whether or not Landlord may also be indemnified with
respect to the same matter under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Trust
Agreement, the Participation Agreement, the Tax Indemnification Agreement or any
other document or instrument and Landlord may in seeking reimbursement or
indemnification from Tenant proceed directly against Tenant without seeking to
enforce any other right of indemnification (it being agreed that the foregoing
is not intended to grant Landlord any right to any double recovery or double
indemnity with respect to any claim, proceeding or Assessment hereunder of
amounts for which Landlord has received under such other document or instrument
(and is entitled to retain full indemnification)).  If Tenant shall have fully
reimbursed or indemnified Landlord, then Tenant shall be subrogated to the
rights of Landlord with respect to any such reimbursed or indemnified claim
(other than rights against Owner Participant or against any taxing authority and
other than rights to pursue a refund of any Assessments other than pursuant to a
Contest).  Tenant further acknowledges and agrees that nothing contained herein
is intended to reduce or impair any rights of Landlord or any other Tax
Indemnitee (as defined in the Participation Agreement) or any obligations of
Tenant under Section  24 of the Participation Agreement (including, without
limitation, Tenant's obligations with respect to contest preconditions).

          (i) If Landlord shall receive a refund of all or part of any
Assessments paid, reimbursed or advanced by Tenant with respect to any Contest
under this Article 6, then, provided no Material Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing,

                                       16
<PAGE>
 
Landlord shall pay to Tenant within 30 days of such receipt an amount equal to
the lesser of (A) the amount of such refund of such Assessment plus or minus any
net tax benefit and any cost or expense (taking into account any Assessments
incurred by Landlord by reason of the receipt or accrual of such refund and
taking into account any tax benefit realized by Landlord as a result of any
payment made pursuant to this sentence (including this clause (A))), and (B) the
amount of such Assessment paid, reimbursed or advanced by Tenant to Landlord, it
being intended that Landlord shall retain a net tax benefit pursuant to this
Article 6 only if Tenant shall first have been reimbursed for all Assessments it
paid to Landlord pursuant to this Article 6.  If, in addition to such refund,
Landlord shall receive an amount representing interest on the amount of such
refund, Landlord shall pay Tenant within 30 days of receipt, that portion of
such interest that shall be fairly attributable to Assessments paid, reimbursed
or advanced by Tenant prior to the receipt of such refund net of any Assessments
incurred by reason of the receipt or accrual of the portion of such interest
attributable to Tenant's indemnity payment (taking into account tax benefits
actually realized by Landlord resulting from Landlord's payment to Tenant
hereunder).  Any subsequent denial, loss, repayment or recapture of such refund
will be treated as an Assessment for which Tenant is responsible hereunder
subject to Tenant's rights to contest such  denial, loss, repayment or recapture
under, and in accordance with, Article 6(e) as though it were a new claim,
proceeding or Assessment hereunder without regard to Article 6(c) hereof.

          (j) Any payment or indemnity to or for the benefit of Landlord with
respect to any Assessment which is subject to payment and indemnification under
this Article 6 shall (A) reflect the current combined net savings actually
realized by Landlord resulting from the current deduction of such indemnified
Assessment and (B) include, after taking into account the savings described in
clause (A), the amount necessary to hold Landlord harmless on an After-Tax
Basis.  If, by reason of any Assessment payment made to or for the account of
Landlord by or on behalf of Tenant pursuant to this Article 6 (or the
circumstances or event giving rise thereto), Landlord actually realizes a net
tax benefit, refund, saving, deduction or credit against Assessments not
indemnified by Tenant under any Operative Document, which benefit, refund,
saving, deduction or credit was not previously taken into account in computing
such payment, provided no Material Default or Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, Landlord shall promptly pay to Tenant an amount equal to the sum
of (I) the actual net reduction in Assessments, if any, realized by Landlord
which is attributable to such net tax benefit, refund, saving, deduction or
credit and (II) the actual net reduction in Assessments, if any, realized by
Landlord as the result of any payment made by Landlord pursuant to this
sentence.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be required to make
any payment to Tenant pursuant to this Article 6 to the extent such payment
would exceed, in the

                                       17
<PAGE>
 
aggregate at any time, the amount of all prior payments made by or on behalf of
Tenant to Landlord of the Assessment giving rise to such tax savings less the
amount of all prior payments made by Landlord to Tenant of tax savings in
respect of such Assessment pursuant to this Article 6, but any such excess shall
reduce pro tanto any amount that Tenant is subsequently obligated to pay
Landlord pursuant to this Article 6.  If any amount otherwise payable to Tenant
is not payable by reason of the occurrence and continuation of a Material
Default or an Event of Default, such amount shall be payable when such Material
Default or Event of Default is no longer continuing.  The disallowance or
reduction of any tax benefit, refund, savings, deduction or credit with respect
to which Landlord has made a payment to Tenant under this Article 6 or which was
taken into account in calculating any such payment under this Article 6 shall be
treated as an Assessment as to which Tenant is obligated to pay or reimburse
Landlord hereunder subject to Tenant's rights to contest such Assessment under,
and in accordance with, Article 6(e) as though it were a new claim, proceeding
or Assessment hereunder without regard to Article 6(c).  References in Article 6
to "Landlord" shall include Owner Participant and its tax affiliates where
appropriate.

     7.   Liability Insurance.

          (a) During the Lease Term, Tenant at its sole expense shall keep
Landlord, Landlord's mortgagees (including Indenture Trustee, in its fiduciary
capacity), Owner Participant, Remainderman Trustee and Remainderman Participant
and Tenant insured, under an insurance policy of comprehensive general liability
with broad form (including contractual liability) coverage on an occurrence form
basis, against liabilities of any nature or type whatsoever (to the extent such
coverage is available) for damage to persons or property including loss of life
sustained by any person or persons within or arising out of the Demised
Premises, including parking areas, sidewalks and driveways (hereinafter referred
to as "Common Areas"), whether caused by  Landlord's or Tenant's negligence or
otherwise, in a policy or policies with minimum coverage of Five Million and
No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000) with respect to injury to any one person and Five
Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) with respect to any one accident or
disaster, and Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) with respect to
damage to property.

          (b) All policies of insurance shall be issued by an insurance company
licensed to do business in the state where the Demised Premises are located,
rated in the Best's Insurance Guide as not less than an A+ "rating
classification," and with a VIII "financial size category," or better, or a
comparable rating by any successor agency.  All such policies shall bear
endorsements to the effect that Landlord, Landlord's mortgagee (including
Indenture Trustee, in its fiduciary capacity), Owner Participant, Remainderman
Trustee and Remainderman Participant and Tenant are

                                       18
<PAGE>
 
named as additional insureds as their interests may appear and each such policy
shall specifically provide that:

               (i) each such additional insured party shall be notified promptly
          in writing of any default in the payment of premiums;

               (ii) the insurer, upon its knowledge of any other act or omission
          on the part of any Person which might invalidate or render
          unenforceable such policy, will promptly notify in writing each such
          additional insured party;

               (iii) no cancellation, lapse, reduction in amount or material
          change in coverage thereof shall be effective until at least 30 days
          after receipt by each such additional insured party of written notice
          thereof by certified mail;

               (iv) the interests of each such additional insured party will be
          insured regardless of any action or inaction of Tenant or another
          insured under such policy or any breach or violation by Tenant or any
          other Person of any warranties, declarations or conditions contained
          therein;

               (v) no such additional insured party (other than Tenant) shall
          have any obligation or liability for premiums, commissions,
          assessments or calls in connection with such insurance (but that any
          such additional insured party shall have the right to pay any such
          amounts);

               (vi) such insurance shall be primary without right of
          contribution from any other valid, existing or applicable insurance
          carried by or on behalf of any additional insured party; and

               (vii) except with respect to the limits of the insurance under
          each policy, and any rights or duties specifically assigned in the
          coverage parts thereof to Tenant, the insurance applies as if each
          additional insured party were the only named insured.

     All insurance companies providing such insurance shall also have a Standard
& Poors Rating Group claims paying ability rating

                                       19
<PAGE>
 
of at least BBB-, and a Moody's Investor's  Services, Inc. claims paying ability
rating of at least Baa.

     Copies of such policies, so endorsed, or certificates evidencing the
existence thereof, or a certificate of self-insurance evidencing Tenant's
election to self-insure such obligations shall be promptly delivered to Landlord
and Landlord's mortgagee, Owner Participant, Remainderman Trustee and
Remainderman Participant prior to the commencement date of this Lease and at
least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any policy.  In the event
Tenant fails to effect or maintain such insurance, Landlord may obtain such
insurance and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost thereof with interest
at the Default Rate from the date incurred by Landlord.

          (c) Tenant shall deliver to each additional insured party prior notice
of any proposed change in insurance arrangements that Tenant intends to put into
effect which differs in any material respect from the insurance arrangements in
effect prior to such proposed change.

          (d) On each policy anniversary, Tenant shall furnish to the additional
insured parties a certificate of one or more independent insurance brokers
reasonably satisfactory to such additional insured parties showing in reasonable
detail the insurance maintained by or on behalf of Tenant pursuant to this
Article (including identification of underwriters, type of insurance, coverage
limits, annual aggregate limits, if any, and the policy term), naming the
additional insured parties as additional insureds and loss payees.

          (e) Tenant also agrees to maintain and keep in force, during the term
hereof pursuant to its excess liability insurance coverage, statutory worker's
compensation insurance coverage meeting all state and local requirements.

          (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be entitled to self-
insure the aforesaid insurance obligations (including its workers' compensation
insurance to the extent permitted by law) at any time that the consolidated
tangible net worth of Tenant calculated in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles less the amount of any and all guaranties made by Tenant
of obligations of (i) any affiliate of Tenant that holds, beneficially or of
record, five percent (5%) or more of the equity securities of Tenant and (ii)
any affiliate of any such affiliate (other than Tenant and any subsidiaries of
Tenant whose financial statements are consolidated with Tenant's financial
statements), is and is maintained at an amount of at least One Billion Dollars
($1,000,000,000.00) ("Net Worth Standard").  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Tenant shall at all times maintain in effect such insurance coverages as to the
Demised Premises as maintained by Kmart with respect to similar properties owned
or

                                       20
<PAGE>
 
leased by Kmart and located in the state and general geographic area where the
Demised Premises is located, or, if no similar properties of Tenant are located
in the same geographical area, coverages generally maintained by Tenant, taking
into account geographical differences.

     8.   Options to Extend Lease.

          (a) Provided that no Material Default or Event of Default hereunder
has occurred and is continuing, Tenant shall have six (6) successive options to
extend the term of this Lease for an additional period of five (5) years on each
such option, such extended term(s) to begin respectively upon the expiration of
the prior term(s).  The same terms and conditions as herein set forth shall
apply to each such extended term except that the Basic Rent for each semiannual
period of each such extended term shall be an amount equal to the sum of (a)
4.25% of the Purchase Price (as defined in Section 3A of the Purchase Agreement)
relating to the Property and (b) if applicable, the total amount of rent,
including without limitation, basic rent and additional rent payable during the
corresponding period of this Lease under the ground lease entered into by and
between the holder of the Remainder Interest, as ground lessor, and the
Landlord, as ground lessee (the "Ground Lease") pursuant to the terms and
conditions of the Option Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and
shall be payable as and when due under the Ground Lease.  Termination Value for
each of the renewal terms pursuant to this paragraph 8(a) shall be that in
effect on the last day of the Base Term.  The Tenant shall notify Landlord and
Remainderman Trustee not more than thirty-six (36) months prior to and not less
than twenty-four (24) months prior to such expiration (in the case of the Base
Term) and not more than twenty-four (24) months and not less than twelve (12)
months prior to the expiration (in the case of any additional term) of its
intention to extend or not to extend the then current term of the Lease Term,
provided such notice shall not be binding on Tenant and Tenant's failure to give
such notice shall not be a default under this Lease.  If Tenant shall thereafter
elect to exercise the aforesaid options, it shall do so by irrevocable notice in
writing and otherwise in accordance with the requirements of Article 28 hereof
given to Landlord and Remainderman Trustee not less than eighteen (18) months
prior to the expiration of the Base Term of this Lease or not less than nine (9)
months prior to the expiration of the Lease Term as extended.  If Tenant shall
fail to exercise an option to extend the term of this Lease, this Lease shall
expire upon the expiration of the then current term and Tenant shall not have
any further option to extend the Lease Term.  If the Ground Lease shall be in
effect during the Lease Term, Tenant agrees, without the need for the execution
of any additional documents, that (i) this Lease shall be a sublease of the Land
and (ii) it shall comply with all the covenants, conditions and restrictions of
the ground lessee under the Ground Lease.

                                       21
<PAGE>
 
          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph 8(a), Tenant shall not
have the right to extend the term of the Lease beyond the Base Term as described
in Article 8(a) unless Tenant shall have exercised such option with respect to
the first such renewal term with respect to 100% of the leases for Properties
originally covered by the Purchase Agreement (or Properties received in
substitution therefor) and in effect on the last day of the Base Term, exclusive
of any leases terminated pursuant to the respective provisions of Articles 14,
15 and 39 of such leases.

          (c) Provided that no Material Default or Event of Default hereunder
has occurred and is continuing, prior to the expiration of the last extended
term provided for in paragraph 8 (a) above, Tenant shall have the one-time right
to, at its expense, obtain an appraisal in accordance with the next succeeding
sentence to determine the uninflated fair market residual value and remaining
economic useful life of the building and site improvements at the end of such
extended term.  Based upon the determination of remaining economic useful life
and uninflated residual value, but subject in all events to the maximum term
available under the Ground Lease, Tenant shall be granted a number of additional
successive five (5) year extended terms (or such shorter period as is
appropriate in the case of the last such extended term) up to the maximum number
of years which (taking into account the Tenant's right to extend this Lease
under paragraph (d) below), (i) taken together with the Interim Term and Base
Term and all prior extended terms provided for in paragraph (a) above, does not
exceed eighty percent (80%) of the sum of the remaining economic useful life of
the building and site improvements and the prior number of years of the Lease
Term (including the Interim Term, Base Term and all extended terms provided for
in paragraph (a) above) and (ii) would end, prior to the point at which the
remaining fair market value (without taking into account inflation or deflation,
but taking into account any costs to the Landlord to obtain possession of such
property) of the building and site improvements equals or exceeds twenty percent
(20%) of Owner Trustee's Purchase Price applicable to such building and site
improvements as set forth in Schedule C of the Purchase Agreement.  Such
appraisal shall be completed prior to the sixth (6th) month after Tenant's
notice of its intent to exercise an option to extend under this paragraph (c)
and no earlier than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the last
extended term provided for in paragraph (a) above.  Basic Rent for each of any
such additional extended  terms shall be fair market value rent determined by an
appraisal conducted pursuant to Article 45 hereof, absent agreement.
Termination Value for each of the additional renewal terms pursuant to this
paragraph (c) shall be that in effect on the last day of the Base Term.

          (d) In the event Tenant has elected not to renew the Lease upon the
expiration of the Base Term or any renewal term, Tenant shall have the one-time
option to extend the Lease Term for

                                       22
<PAGE>
 
such period of time as shall cause the last day of the Lease Term to be the
January 31 next succeeding the date upon which the Lease Term would expire but
for the exercise of this option, subject in all events to the maximum term
available under the Ground Lease.  This option shall be deemed to have been
exercised by Tenant unless Landlord shall have received irrevocable notice from
Tenant to the contrary not less than eighteen (18) months prior to the
expiration of the Base Term of this Lease or not less than nine (9) months prior
to the expiration of the Lease Term as extended (determined without regard to
this section (d)).  Basic Rent during this additional option period shall be the
same rental payable under the terms of this Lease with respect to the last year
of the immediately preceding term and shall be payable in advance or arrears on
the same basis as Basic Rent in the last year of the immediately preceding term
except that Basic Rent shall be prorated upon a daily basis for the additional
period and Termination Value shall be that in effect on the last day of the Base
Term, provided, however, that if the additional option period extends beyond the
expiration of the Estate for Years, Basic Rent shall include the rent payable
under the Ground Lease during such additional option period, which shall be paid
as and when due under the Ground Lease, with a prorated amount thereof
(calculated on a daily basis) due on such January 31.

     9.   Repairs and Maintenance.

          (a) Tenant shall make and pay for all maintenance, replacement and
repair of the Demised Premises on a timely basis whether foreseeable or not
foreseeable, including roof repair and replacement, necessary to keep all of the
Demised Premises, both structural and non-structural portions, in the state of
repair and tenantable condition as when delivered hereunder, ordinary wear and
tear excepted, consistent with the standard of maintenance employed by Tenant as
of the date of this Lease with respect to similar properties owned or leased by
Kmart and located in the general geographic area where the Demised Premises is
located, applicable Laws, Environmental Laws (as defined in Article 12),
standards of health and safety required by applicable public authorities and
private insurers and the insurance policies required by Articles 7 and 14
hereof, and in keeping with the objective of preserving the fair market value
and useful life of the Demised Premises.

          Tenant shall pay for all of the costs of maintaining the Common Areas
and common facilities located on the Demised Premises, including, but not
limited to, the following:  All amounts paid for (1) cleaning and re-striping
the parking areas, sidewalks and driveways; (2) repairing, maintaining and
replacing paved areas; (3) maintaining, repairing and replacing planted or
landscaped areas; (4) lighting of parking lot including repair, replacements and
maintenance of bulbs and lighting standards within said Common Areas and
lighting fixtures affixed to any building; (5) paying all wages and salaries of
persons directly and actually performing

                                       23
<PAGE>
 
services described herein; (6) removing rubbish; and (7) removing of ice, snow
and mud.

          (b) During the Lease Term, notwithstanding that title to the Demised
Premises has been transferred to Landlord, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that,
in addition to Tenant's obligations under  this Lease, Tenant shall comply with
all of the terms and conditions of, perform all obligations of the owner of the
Demised Premises (and is designated as "Owner" as contemplated under the
applicable REA solely for the limited purpose of performing "Owner" obligations
under the REA) and pay all expenses which the owner of the Demised Premises
shall be required to pay in accordance with (i) all of the Permitted Exceptions
as defined in the Purchase Agreement, and (ii) the Permitted Liens described in
clause (f) of the definition thereof ((i) and (ii) herein collectively referred
to as the "REA").  Without limiting the foregoing, in the event the responsible
party fails to perform its obligations under the REA with respect to the Common
Areas, Tenant shall perform such obligations and shall charge the responsible
party with the obligations thereunder.

          Tenant agrees to provide notice to the responsible parties under the
REA such that the responsible parties shall also notify Landlord of any event
which triggers an obligation to provide Tenant with notice under the terms of
the REA.

          Tenant shall be entitled to retain any and all sums paid to it as
result of performing the duties and obligations of the responsible party under
the REA.  Tenant's obligations under this Article 9(b) shall extend to any
amendments or modifications of the REA, but only to the extent Tenant has
consented to such amendments or modifications or such amendments or
modifications have arisen by operation of law.

     10.  Alterations and Additional Construction.

          (a) Provided no Material Default or Event of Default hereunder has
occurred and is continuing, Tenant may, at its own expense, from time to time
make such alterations and additions, structural or otherwise, in and to any
building as it may deem necessary or suitable and erect or construct additional
buildings or structures on and within any portion of the Demised Premises;
provided, however, that Tenant shall not have the right (i) to demolish any
building in its entirety unless approved by Landlord in writing, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld if (x) the existing building is to be
replaced promptly and with due diligence within eighteen (18) months of such
demolition and in any event no later than six (6) months prior to the end of the
then current Lease Term with a building of at least equivalent fair market value
and remaining useful life as the demolished improvements immediately prior to
such demolition (assuming the Demised Premises was being maintained in
accordance with the terms

                                       24
<PAGE>
 
of this Lease until such time) and without cost or liability to Landlord or
Remainderman Trustee, and (y) the long term senior unsecured debt securities of
Tenant shall then be rated in one of the generic rating categories that signify
"investment grade" by at least two nationally recognized statistical rating
organizations and Tenant shall then meet the Net Worth Standard, or (ii) to make
any such alterations, additions, or erect or construct additional buildings or
additional structures which would diminish the fair market value or remaining
useful life of the Demised Premises immediately prior to such alteration,
addition, or construction of additional buildings or structures (assuming the
Demised Premises was being maintained in accordance with the terms of this Lease
until such time), increase the risk of liability to Tenant, Landlord, Owner
Participant, Remainderman Trustee or Remainderman Participant under any
Environmental Laws (as defined in Article 12 hereof) or cause the Demised
Premises to be characterized as limited use property (as described in Section
4.09 of Revenue Procedure 75-28 or Revenue Procedure 76-30); and provided
further that Tenant shall provide written notice to Landlord together with its
drawings and specifications for new structures, structural alterations,
additions or additional buildings or structures.  With respect to any new
structures, structural alterations, additions or additional buildings or
structures permitted pursuant to this Article 10, Tenant shall certify that: (x)
the new structures, and structural alterations, additions or additional
buildings or structures shall be built under the supervision of a certified
architect, (y) the structural integrity of the existing buildings will not be
impaired by such work, (z) Tenant is complying with all applicable Laws and the
requirements of the Permitted Exceptions and the Permitted Liens described in
clause (f) of the definition thereof, (xx) Tenant has obtained any licenses,
permits, authorizations and approvals required, copies of which shall be
delivered to Landlord upon request, and (yy) such new structures, structural
alterations, additions or additional buildings or structures or the results of
such demolition will not encroach upon (or with respect to demolitions, cause
any damage to) any adjacent premises.  With respect to demolitions, Tenant shall
certify, with respect to buildings not demolished, the substance of subclause
(y) of the immediately preceding sentence, and, with respect to buildings being
demolished, the substance of subclauses (z) and (xx) of the immediately
preceding sentence.  Tenant shall be entitled to proceed with such structural
alterations, additions or additional buildings or structures unless Landlord
shall have notified Tenant within fifteen (15) days after its receipt of
Tenant's notice that, in Landlord's reasonable opinion, such new structures,
structural alterations, additions or additional buildings or structures would
diminish the fair market value or remaining useful life of the Demised Premises
immediately prior to such structural alteration, addition, or construction of
new structures, additional buildings or structures (assuming the Demised
Premises was being maintained in accordance with the terms of this Lease until
such time), increase the risk of liability to

                                       25
<PAGE>
 
Tenant, Landlord, Owner Participant, Remainderman Trustee or Remainderman
Participant under any Environmental Laws or cause the Demised Premises to be
characterized as limited use property (as described in Section 4.09 of Revenue
Procedure 75-28 or Revenue Procedure 76-30). In the event of a dispute with
regard to the diminution of fair market value or remaining useful life, an
appraisal shall be performed in accordance with the procedures of Article 45
hereof, and the result of the appraisal as to the expected diminution, if any,
of fair market value or remaining useful life shall be binding upon the parties.
The term "structural alterations," as used herein, shall not include moving of
non-load bearing partitions, minor plumbing and electrical work, or modification
and rearrangement of Tenant's fixtures or other minor changes of a similar
nature. Landlord, at Tenant's cost (i.e. at no after-tax cost to Landlord or
Owner Participant), shall cooperate with Tenant in securing building and other
permits or authorizations required from time to time for any work permitted
hereunder or installations by Tenant.

          (b) The provisions of this Lease shall apply to and shall govern
Tenant's rights and obligations with respect to all such new structures,
alterations, additions, additional buildings or structures and the same shall be
considered part of the Demised Premises.  All Assessments levied thereon shall
be paid by Tenant as provided in this Lease.  Tenant shall be required to
maintain liability and property insurance on said additional improvements (or to
self-insure) in the same manner as is required in this Lease.  In the event
Tenant constructs any such additions or additional buildings or structures,
Landlord shall not be obligated to furnish additional parking areas in
substitution of areas thereby built over.

          (c) In connection with any alterations, additions or erection of
additional improvements or demolition and replacement thereof, Tenant shall
perform and complete all work in a first class workmanlike manner in compliance
with applicable Laws.  Tenant shall maintain at all times during construction
all risk builders insurance in an amount equal to the value of the  improvements
or replacement building, as the case may be, and comprehensive general liability
insurance naming Landlord, Owner Participant, Remainderman Trustee and
Remainderman Participant and Landlord's mortgagee as additional insureds.

          Tenant shall be entitled to self-insure with respect to the insurance
required by the immediately preceding paragraph during such time that Tenant
meets the Net Worth Standard.

          (d) All alterations, additions or additional buildings or structures
or replacements thereof made or erected by Tenant on the Demised Premises shall
without further act become the property of Landlord and Landlord shall not be
required to compensate Tenant therefor; provided, however, Tenant may claim all
tax benefits and

                                       26
<PAGE>
 
incidents attendant thereto as lessee thereof which Tenant is entitled to claim
under applicable tax law.  Tenant will execute any necessary deed or bill of
sale required to convey title thereto to Landlord.

          (e) All such work shall be completed with diligence prior to the
expiration of the then current Lease Term, but if such work is not completed
prior to expiration of the Lease Term and if additional time is required to
complete such work and Tenant otherwise does not extend the Lease Term as
provided in Article 8 hereof, the Lease Term shall automatically be extended on
a month to month basis until completion of such work in full (and Basic Rent
during such additional period shall be the same rental payable under the terms
of this Lease with respect to the last year of the immediately preceding term
prorated on a monthly basis and shall be payable in advance or arrears on the
same basis as Basic Rent in the last year of the immediately preceding term,
together with any rent payable under the Ground Lease, payable as and when due
thereunder on a prorated basis).

     11.  Utilities.

          Tenant shall pay all charges for all utilities (including, without
limitation, gas, water, oil, sewage, telephone and electricity) furnished to the
Demised Premises during the Lease Term.  Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it
shall obtain and use its best efforts to maintain service with respect to all
such utilities at the Demised Premises.

     12.  Governmental Regulations.

          (a) Tenant shall observe and comply in all respects with all
requirements of laws, rules, codes, orders and regulations of the federal, state
and municipal governments or other duly constituted public or quasi-public
authority applicable to the Demised Premises and the use and occupancy thereof
(collectively, "Laws") including, but not limited to, all Environmental Laws and
the Americans With Disabilities Act ("ADA"), as amended from time to time,
together with all regulations promulgated thereunder.  Tenant shall make all
alterations or changes to the Demised Premises, subject to Article 10 hereof, as
may be required from time to time to comply with applicable Laws. Such
alterations or changes shall be made in compliance with and shall be governed by

modification, maintenance or operation thereof, and shall have sole
responsibility for the costs and expenses, including legal and other
professional fees and expenses and costs of investigation associated with such
compliance, including compliance with any such Environmental Law directed to

for any (a) liability under any Environmental Laws, or (b) damages arising from,

except for any lien arising as a result of the existence of an obligation to
undertake remedial or corrective action, and which expires as a matter of law
upon completion of such remedial or corrective action, provided that such
exception shall apply only so long as such remedial or corrective action is
being contested or pursued and performed in accordance with the applicable terms
of this Lease.  Tenant's obligations under this clause (c) shall be in addition
to, and shall in no way be construed as a limitation of, Tenant's obligations
under Article 19 of this Lease.

     13.  Landlord to Grant Easements, Dedications, Etc.

          Provided that no Material Default or Event of Default hereunder has
occurred and is continuing, Landlord does hereby and shall, by a separate
instrument if requested by Tenant, from time to time, upon thirty (30) days'
prior written notice to Landlord and at the request of Tenant and at Tenant's
cost and expense (i.e. at no after-tax cost to Landlord or Owner Participant),
irrevocably appoint Tenant the attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, of
Landlord during the Lease Term, subject to the proviso contained in this
sentence, and the provisions of the succeeding sentence, with full power and
authority to perform the following acts:  (i) grant easements and other rights
in the nature of easements, (ii) release existing easements or other rights in
the nature of easements which are for the benefit of the Demised Premises, (iii)
dedicate or transfer unimproved portions of the Demised Premises for road,
highway or other public purposes, (iv) execute petitions to have the Demised
Premises annexed to any municipal corporation or utility district, (v) execute
amendments to any covenants and restrictions affecting the Demised Premises, and
Landlord shall execute and deliver to any person any instrument appropriate to
confirm or effect such grants, releases, dedications and transfers (to the
extent of its interest in the Demised Premises); provided, however, that the
rights granted to Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph are
subject to thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Landlord which notice shall
include (x) a certificate of an authorized officer of Tenant (A) describing such
grant, release, dedication, transfer, petition or amendment, (B) stating that
such grant, release, dedication, transfer, petition or amendment is not
detrimental to the proper conduct of the business of Tenant on the Demised
Premises and does not impair the usefulness of the Demised Premises for the
purposes contemplated and permitted hereby, or reduce the fair market value or
remaining useful life of the Demised Premises immediately prior to such

                                       29
<PAGE>
 
grant, release, dedication, transfer, petition or amendment (assuming the
Demised Premises was being maintained in accordance with the terms of this Lease
until such time), or impair the Landlord's or Owner Participant's or any of
their respective assignees interest in the Demised Premises, or cause the
Demised Premises to be characterized as limited use property (as described in
Section 4.09 of the Revenue Procedure 75-28 or Revenue Procedure 76-30, and (C),
the consideration, if any, being paid for such grant, release, dedication,
transfer, petition or amendment and (y) duly authorized and binding
unconditional undertakings of Tenant that it will remain obligated hereunder to
the same extent as if such grant, release, dedication, transfer, petition or
amendment had not been made (including, without limitation, the obligation to
pay all Rent in accordance with the terms hereof), and that Tenant will perform
all obligations of Landlord under such instrument.  In the case of those grants,
releases, dedications, transfers or amendments referred to in subparagraphs (i),
(iii) and (v) of the preceding sentence, the prior written approval of Landlord
shall be required (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), provided if Tenant requests such approval in writing and Landlord has
not approved or disapproved the same within thirty (30) days of such request, it
shall be deemed approved, and provided further, if such grants, releases,
dedications, transfers or amendments do not by their respective terms extend
beyond the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, the approval of
Landlord shall not be required.  The consideration, if any, received by Landlord
or Tenant for such grant, release, dedication, transfer, petition or amendment
shall be applied pursuant to Article 15, as if such consideration were net
proceeds from an event of Condemnation.

     14.  Insurance; Damage to Demised Premises.

          (a) From and after the commencement of the Lease Term, Tenant shall
insure the buildings and improvements on the Demised Premises, including
Tenant's buildings, against damage or destruction by fire and other casualties
under a policy of insurance including broad form, extended coverage all risk
endorsements, including but not limited to fire, theft, flood, water damage,
collapse, windstorm, hail, boiler & machinery (if objects exist), lightning,
explosion, falling objects (i.e. aircraft), back-up & seepage of sewers and
drains, and business interruption together with such additional insurance
maintained by Tenant with respect to similar properties owned or leased by
Tenant and located in the state and general geographic area where the Demised
Premises is located, or if there are no such similar properties, as is generally
maintained by Tenant, taking into account geographical differences.  Such
endorsements shall be subject to annual review by Landlord to identify
additional coverages payable by Tenant made necessary by market conditions or
made available by insurers of similar improvements for risks now or hereafter
deemed commercially reasonable to insure.  Said insurance

                                       30
<PAGE>
 
shall be in an amount equal to not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the
full insurable replacement value of the Demised Premises.  In no event shall the
deductible amount under such policies of insurance exceed Two Hundred Fifty
Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) in the aggregate.  At any time during
the Lease Term that Tenant is not self-insuring pursuant to the terms of this
Article, Tenant shall obtain at its sole cost and expense and deliver to
Landlord, upon Landlord's request but not more than once in every five (5) year
period, an independent appraiser's or engineer's certification of the full
replacement  cost of the Demised Premises, which certificate  shall be relied
upon by Landlord and Tenant solely for the purpose of establishing such full
replacement cost for the purposes of this Article 14(a) only.

          (b) Landlord, Owner Participant and Landlord's mortgagee (including
the Indenture Trustee) shall be named as loss payees and additional insureds
thereunder.  All required insurance policies shall bear endorsements to the
effect that Landlord, Owner Participant and Landlord's mortgagee and ground
lessor (if any) shall be notified not less than thirty (30) days in advance of
modification or cancellation thereof and that Tenant has waived any right of
recovery from Landlord.  Each such policy shall specifically provide that:

          (i) each such additional insured party shall be notified promptly in
          writing of any default in the payment of premiums;

          (ii) the insurer, upon its knowledge of any other act or omission on
          the part of any Person which might invalidate or render unenforceable
          such policy, will promptly notify in writing each such additional
          insured party;

          (iii) no cancellation, lapse, reduction in amount or material change
          in coverage thereof shall be effective until at least 30 days after
          receipt by each such additional insured party of written notice
          thereof by certified mail;

          (iv) the interests of each such additional insured party will be
          insured regardless of any action or inaction of Tenant or another
          insured under such policy or any breach or violation by Tenant or any
          other Person of any warranties, declarations or conditions contained
          therein;

          (v) no such additional insured party (other than Tenant) shall have
          any obligation or liability for premiums, commissions, assessments or
          calls in connection with such insurance (but that any such additional
          insured party shall have the right to pay any such amounts);

                                       31
<PAGE>
 
          (vi) the insurer thereunder, in the event of payment under such
          policy, waives its rights of recovery against any Person to which or
          to whom coverage is afforded under such policy, any Person with
          majority ownership interest of or by any such additional insured
          party, and any Person to whom a written waiver has been granted by any
          such additional insured party prior to loss, but the insurer's waiver
          shall apply only in respect of operations insured by such policy and
          shall not be construed to be a waiver in respect of other operations
          of such Person in which such additional insured party has no
          contractual interest;

          (vii) such insurance shall be primary without right of contribution
          from any other valid, existing or applicable insurance carried by or
          on behalf of any additional insured party;

          (viii) except with respect to the limits of the insurance under each
          policy, and any rights or duties specifically assigned in the coverage
          parts thereof to Tenant, the insurance applies as if each additional
          insured party were the only named insured; and

          (ix) there is no condition to disbursements based on actual
          restoration of the Demised Premises.


          All insurance companies providing such insurance shall also have a
Standard & Poors Rating Group claims paying ability rating of at least BBB- and
a Moody's Investor's Services, Inc. claims paying ability rating of at least
Baa.

          Copies of such insurance policies or certificates evidencing the
existence thereof so endorsed, or a certificate of self-insurance evidencing
Tenant's election to self-insure such obligations, shall be promptly delivered
to Landlord and Indenture Trustee prior to commencement of the Lease Term and at
least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any policy.  Any policy of
insurance shall be issued by an insurance company licensed to do business in the
state where the Demised Premises are located rated in the Best's Insurance Guide
as not less than an A+ "rating classification" and with a VIII "financial size
category," or better or rated by a successor agency at comparable ratings.  At
any time during the term of this Lease that either respective rating shall fall
below A+ or VIII (or such comparable ratings of any successor agency), Tenant
shall obtain insurance from a replacement insurer carrying an A+ and VIII rating
or comparable rating.

          (c) Tenant shall deliver to each additional insured party prior notice
of any proposed change in insurance arrangements

                                       32
<PAGE>
 
that Tenant intends to put into effect which differs in any material respect
from the insurance arrangements in effect prior to such proposed change.

          (d) On each policy anniversary, Tenant shall furnish to the additional
insured parties a certificate reasonably satisfactory to such additional insured
parties showing in reasonable detail the insurance maintained by or on behalf of
Tenant pursuant to this Article (including identification of underwriters, type
of insurance, coverage limits, annual aggregate limits, if any, and the policy
term), naming the additional insured parties as additional insureds and loss
payees.

          (e) Tenant shall be entitled to self-insure its aforesaid insurance
obligations at any time that Tenant meets the Net Worth Standard.

          (f) Irrespective of the cause thereof, Landlord shall not be liable
for any loss or damage to said buildings resulting from fire, explosion or any
other casualty.  In the event of Tenant's failure to obtain or maintain the
insurance called for under this Lease, Landlord shall have the right, together
with Landlord's remedies set forth herein, to obtain the policies of insurance
required under this Lease and to bill Tenant for the premium payments therefor,
together with interest at the Default Rate. Landlord shall have no obligation to
maintain insurance of any nature or type whatsoever on the Land described in
Exhibit A, any improvements thereon owned by Landlord or Tenant or the Demised
Premises and neither Tenant nor Tenant's insurer shall have any rights to direct
actions or subrogation against any policy of insurance obtained by Landlord.

          (g) In the event that, at any time during the Lease Term, the building
and/or site improvements included in the Demised Premises shall be damaged or
destroyed (partially or totally) by fire, the elements or any other casualty,
whether insured or not, Tenant shall without abatement of Rent, at its expense,
promptly and with due diligence and without regard to its receipt of insurance
proceeds or the sufficiency thereof, repair, rebuild and restore the same as
nearly as practicable to the condition existing just prior to such damage or
destruction (assuming compliance with the terms of this Lease) consistent with
the maintenance and repair obligations of Tenant in Articles 9 and 10 of this
Lease.  Provided that Tenant has not given the notice in Article 14(h), at any
time that Tenant meets the Net Worth Standard or in the event of a loss below
Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00), and provided
further that no Material Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, insurance proceeds shall be released to Tenant for restoration and
repair; otherwise the Proceeds Trustee (as hereinafter defined) shall have the
right to receive any insurance settlement fund in escrow subject to disbursement
pursuant to the terms set forth in Article 16 hereof.

                                       33
<PAGE>
 
Tenant shall complete such restoration promptly and in any event prior to the
expiration of the then current Lease Term, but if additional time is required to
complete such work and Tenant otherwise does not extend the term of this Lease
as provided in Article 8 hereof, the Lease Term shall automatically be extended
on a month to month basis until completion of such work in full (and Basic Rent
during such additional period shall be the same rent payable under the terms of
this Lease with respect to the last year of the immediately preceding term
prorated on a monthly basis, payable in advance or arrears on the same basis as
Basic Rent in the last year of the immediately preceding term, together with any
rent payable under the Ground Lease, payable as and when due thereunder, on a
prorated basis).  Tenant shall use diligent and reasonable efforts to complete
such work as soon as possible.

          (h) Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, in the event of a
substantial or total casualty of such building or improvements, Tenant may give
irrevocable written notice to Landlord and Remainderman Trustee within thirty
(30) days after such damage or  destruction of its intention to terminate this
Lease and Tenant shall simultaneously make and deliver to Landlord Tenant's
Purchase Offer in accordance with Article 40 hereof.  In the event Landlord
rejects Tenant's Purchase Offer pursuant to Article 40, an amount equal to all
proceeds of insurance or self-insurance, as the case may be, and, with respect
to any pending claim, an assignment of such pending claim shall be paid to
Landlord on the Purchase Offer Termination Date together with the amount of any
deductible under such insurance and together with all other amounts specified in
Article 40(c).  In the event Landlord accepts Tenant's Purchase Offer and
provided the parties have satisfied their obligations under Article 40, all such
insurance proceeds shall be paid to Tenant on the Purchase Offer Termination
Date.

     15.  Eminent Domain.

          (a) In the event of (i) a permanent Condemnation of all of the Demised
Premises, (ii) a temporary Condemnation of all or any portion of the Demised
Premises, or a permanent Condemnation of any substantial portion of the Demised
Premises (which, in either case, is sufficient in Tenant's good faith judgment
to render the Demised Premises unsuitable for the use and occupancy of Tenant),
or (iii) a Condemnation of the points of ingress-egress to public roadways such
that they shall be materially impaired (with no reasonable replacement points of
ingress-egress provided so as to render the Demised Premises unsuitable for its
intended use), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord Tenant's Purchase Offer in
accordance with Article 40 hereof within thirty (30) days (or, with respect to a
Condemnation of less than all the Demised Premises, ninety (90) days) after the
entry of a final order of taking.  In the event Landlord rejects Tenant's
Purchase Offer pursuant to Article 40 and provided that the parties have
satisfied their

                                       34
<PAGE>
 
obligations under Article 40, the Condemnation proceeds (less proceeds due the
Remainderman Trustee, if any) shall be paid to Landlord on the Purchase Offer
Termination Date, together with all other amounts specified in Article 40(c)
(except as otherwise provided in paragraph (d) below).  In the event Landlord
accepts Tenant's Purchase Offer pursuant to Article 40 and provided that the
parties have satisfied their obligations under Article 40, Landlord shall assign
the Condemnation proceeds (less proceeds due the Remainderman Trustee, if any)
to Tenant on the Purchase Offer Termination Date.

          For purposes hereof, a "Condemnation" shall mean a condemnation,
confiscation, seizure, requisition or other taking or sale of the use or
occupancy of, or title to the Demised Premises pursuant to the power of eminent
domain or through a deed in lieu of condemnation.

          (b) In the event of a Condemnation of any portion of the Demised
Premises constituting less than a substantial portion of the Demised Premises or
a Condemnation of a substantial portion that does not, in Tenant's good faith
judgment, render the Demised Premises unsuitable for the use and occupancy
thereof by Tenant, this Lease shall continue as to that portion of the Demised
Premises which shall not have been so taken, but without abatement of Basic
Rent, in which event Tenant shall promptly and with due diligence restore the
Demised Premises to as nearly as practicable the condition which existed just
prior to such Condemnation (assuming compliance with the terms of this Lease),
consistent with the maintenance and repair obligations of Tenant under Articles
9 and 10 hereof.  Provided that no Material Default or Event of Default
hereunder has occurred and is continuing, at any time that Tenant meets the Net
Worth Standard or in the event of an award of less than Two Hundred Fifty
Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00), the portion of the Condemnation award
(after reduction in respect of proceeds due the Remainderman Trustee, if any)
not in excess of the projected cost of such restoration shall be released to
Tenant for restoration; otherwise the Proceeds Trustee shall take possession of
such award to disburse payment to Tenant pursuant to the terms set forth in
Article 16 hereof.  Tenant shall complete such restoration promptly and in any
event prior to the expiration of the then current Lease Term, but if additional
time is required to complete such work and Tenant otherwise does not extend the
Lease Term as provided in Article 8 hereof, the Lease Term shall automatically
be extended on a month to month basis until completion of such work in full and
Basic Rent during such additional period shall be the same rental payable under
the terms of this Lease with respect to the last year of the immediately
preceding term prorated on a monthly basis and shall be payable in advance or
arrears on the same basis as Basic Rent in the last year of the immediately
preceding term, together with any rent payable under the Ground Lease, payable
as and when due

                                       35
<PAGE>
 
thereunder, on a prorated basis.  Tenant shall use diligent and reasonable
effort to complete such work as soon as possible.

          (c) Without limiting the foregoing, in the event a portion of the Land
shall be subject to a permanent Condemnation by public or quasi-public
authority, Tenant shall make reasonable efforts to substitute equivalent and
similarly improved lands reasonably acceptable to Landlord contiguous to and
properly integrated with the remainder of the site depicted on Exhibit B.  Any
substitute land together with the remaining Demised Premises shall meet the
standards and requirements set forth in Article 41 hereof.  Tenant shall be
entitled to receive the Condemnation award (less proceeds due the Remainderman
Trustee, if any) to the extent required to acquire substitute land subject to
the rights of Landlord's mortgagee as above stated.  Any such land acquired by
Tenant shall be part of the Demised Premises subject to this Lease and shall be
subjected to the lien of the Indenture, and interests in such substitute land
equivalent to the Estate for Years and related options or Landlord's rights
under the Ground Lease shall vest in Landlord subject to this Lease.  Tenant
shall take all actions necessary to vest title, and to protect such vested
title, to such land in Landlord and Remainderman Trustee.

          If Tenant shall be unable to substitute such lands and if one or more
Condemnations shall in total deprive Tenant of any substantial portion of the
Demised Premises which is sufficient in Tenant's good faith judgment to render
the remaining portion thereof unsuitable for the use or occupancy of Tenant,
then, in such event, subsection (a) of this Article 15 above shall apply.

          (d) Tenant's obligation to restore the Demised Premises in the event
of a partial taking is not conditioned upon the adequacy of the Condemnation
proceeds to complete such restoration.  In the event of an inadequate award, the
amount of such award held by the Proceeds Trustee shall be disbursed pro rata
until completion of restoration pursuant to the terms set forth in Article 16
hereof.  Tenant shall fund the deficits in the pro rata progress payments
disbursed by the Proceeds Trustee in accordance with Article 16 hereof.  In the
event the Condemnation proceeds (less proceeds payable to the Remainderman
Trustee, if any) exceed the actual cost of restoration or acquisition of
substitute land in accordance with Article 15(c), any such excess shall be paid
to Landlord and Tenant, as their interests may appear.

     16.  Insurance Proceeds, Claims Settlement.

          (a) In the event of loss or damage to the Demised Premises, Tenant
shall promptly notify Landlord thereof in writing and shall prepare and present
timely claims (unless Tenant is at the time self-insuring the risk for which
such claim would be presented) to the appropriate insurers on behalf of Tenant,
Landlord, Owner Participant and Landlord's mortgagee.  Unless

                                       36
<PAGE>
 
Landlord has rejected Tenant's Purchase Offer made in accordance with Article
14(h), Tenant shall adjust and settle such non-self-insured claim, provided that
if Tenant has failed to settle such claims within three (3) years of the event
of loss or damage, then Landlord and/or its mortgagee shall have the right to
adjust and settle such claims.  At any time (i) Tenant does not meet the Net
Worth Standard and the claim for damage to the Demised Premises involves net
proceeds of more than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars
($250,000.00), or (ii) if a Material Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, no settlement shall be made without Landlord's consent, which
will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and Landlord and its mortgagee
shall be entitled to participate in the adjustment process.  Tenant's
obligations under Articles 14(g) and 14(h) hereof shall remain in full force and
effect and shall be unaffected by Tenant's failure to file, adjust and settle
any claim.

          (b) Provided that Tenant has not given the notice in Article 14(h), in
the event the net proceeds of any such claim are not in excess of Two Hundred
Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00), and provided further that no
Material Default or Event of Default hereunder has occurred and is continuing,
such proceeds shall be payable to Tenant.  Provided that Tenant has not given
the notice in Article 14(h), in the event the net proceeds are in excess of Two
Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) and Tenant does not meet
the Net Worth Standard, or if a Material Default or Event of Default hereunder
has occurred and is continuing such sum shall be paid to Indenture Trustee, or
at such time as Landlord's Debt is no longer outstanding, to such other person
mutually agreeable to Landlord and Tenant (Indenture Trustee or such other
person is herein called the "Proceeds Trustee") as trustee for Landlord and
Tenant and disbursed in the manner hereinafter provided.  Such insurance
proceeds shall be deposited in an interest bearing account and shall be
distributed to Tenant upon progress of completion of restoration, repair,
replacement or rebuilding, provided no Material Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing hereunder.  Such insurance proceeds shall be
disbursed to Tenant by the Proceeds Trustee upon receipt by Landlord and
Proceeds Trustee of the following:

               (1) A certificate signed by Tenant, dated not more than thirty
     (30) days prior to the application for such disbursement, setting forth in
     substance the following:

                    (i) that the sum then requested to be disbursed either has
          been paid by Tenant or is justly due to contractors, subcontractors,
          materialmen, engineers, architects or other persons who have rendered
          and furnished certain labor and materials for the work; giving a brief
          description of such services

                                       37
<PAGE>
 
          and materials and the principal subdivisions or categories thereof and
          the amounts so paid or due to each of said persons in respect thereof,
          and stating the progress of the work up to the date of said
          certificate;

                    (ii) that the sum then requested to be disbursed, plus all
          sums previously disbursed, does not exceed the cost of the work as
          actually accomplished up to the date of such certificate;

                    (iii)  that except for the amounts, if any, stated in said
          certificate pursuant to the foregoing clause (i) of this paragraph to
          be due for services or materials, there is no outstanding indebtedness
          known to the person signing the certificate, after due inquiry, which
          is then due and payable for work, labor, services and materials in
          connection with the work, which, if unpaid, might become the basis of
          a vendor's, mechanic's, laborer's, materialman's statutory or similar
          lien upon Tenant's leasehold estate or Tenant's or Landlord's interest
          in the Demised Premises or any part thereof;

                    (iv) that all materials and all property described in the
          certificate are free and clear of all liens and encumbrances except
          for Permitted Liens (as hereinafter defined); and

                    (v) that the amount remaining in the possession of the
          Proceeds Trustee after disbursement of the sum then requested at least
          equals the estimated unpaid costs to complete work (and if
          insufficient funds remain, Tenant shall deposit additional funds with
          the Proceeds Trustee sufficient to enable Tenant to make the foregoing
          certification).

               (2) Evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Proceeds Trustee and
     Landlord showing that there has not been filed with respect to Tenant's
     leasehold estate or Tenant's or Landlord's interest in the Demised Premises
     or any part thereof any vendor's, mechanic's, laborer's or materialmen's
     statutory or similar lien which has not been discharged of record other
     than Permitted Liens, except such as will be discharged upon payment of the
     amount then requested to be disbursed, or such as to

                                       38
<PAGE>
 
     which there has been obtained affirmative title insurance coverage over
     such liens.

               (3) Lien waivers from each person entitled to a mechanics' or
     materialmen's lien against the Demised Premises by reason of such work, or
     affirmative title insurance over all such inchoate liens.

     Upon compliance with the foregoing provisions, the Proceeds Trustee shall,
out of the deposited sums, disburse to the persons named in the certificate the
respective amounts stated in said certificate to be due to them and/or shall
disburse to Tenant the amount stated in said certificate to have been paid by
Tenant.

          (c) At any time after the completion in full of the work, the whole
balance of the deposited sums not theretofore disbursed pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Article 16 shall be disbursed, subject (with
respect to Condemnation proceeds) to the provisions of Article 15, to or upon
the order of Tenant, upon receipt by the Proceeds Trustee of (1) a certificate
signed by Tenant, dated not more than thirty (30) days prior to the application
of such disbursement, setting forth in substance the following to the best
knowledge of Tenant, after due inquiry, (i) that the work has been completed in
full in compliance with this Lease; (ii) that all amounts which Tenant is or may
be entitled to have disbursed under the foregoing provisions of this Article 16
on account of services rendered or materials furnished in connection with the
work have been disbursed under said provisions, and (iii) that all amounts for
whose payment Tenant is or may become liable in respect of the work have been
paid in full except to the extent, if any, of any retainage and which retainage
shall be applied to the final payments of the amounts due, (2) a copy of the "as
built" drawings of the improvements on the Demised Premises, which drawings
shall be delivered to Landlord, (3) an official search or a certificate of a
title company reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and Landlord
showing that there has not been filed with respect to Tenant's leasehold estate
or Tenant's or Landlord's interest in the Demised Premises or any part thereof,
any vendor's, mechanic's, laborer's or materialmen's statutory or similar lien
other than Permitted Liens which have not been discharged of record or for which
affirmative insurance has been provided, and (4) a final certificate of
occupancy or equivalent governmental approval.  If Tenant is holding proceeds or
at the time of the casualty was self-insuring, promptly following completion in
full of the work, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord and Indenture Trustee the
items described in clauses (1)-(4) of this paragraph (c).

          Any insurance proceeds remaining after completion of the
reconstruction as specified shall be paid to Tenant.  If the conditions for the
release of money to Tenant are not met after a period of three (3) years after
the date of completion of

                                       39
<PAGE>
 
reconstruction (such three-year period to be extended by the length of any delay
caused by reasons beyond the control of Tenant), any funds held by the Proceeds
Trustee shall be disbursed to the Indenture Trustee. 

     17.  Use, Assignment and Subletting.

          The Demised Premises may be used for any lawful purposes (in
compliance with the Permitted Exceptions) provided that Tenant obtains,
maintains in full force and effect and complies with all licenses, permits and
authorizations from any applicable governmental or regulatory authorities
necessary for such use, occupancy or operation of the Demised Premises and
provided further, that neither the Demised Premises nor any portion thereof
shall be used for the handling, processing, storage or disposal of Hazardous
Materials, nor shall there be installed on the Demised Premises any underground
tank or other underground storage receptacle for Hazardous Materials, except in
each case as may be incidental to the conduct of Tenant's business as currently
conducted on the Demised Premises, except that no use may be made (whether by
Tenant or any assignee or subtenant of Tenant or otherwise) which:  (i) is a
public nuisance, (ii) causes the Demised Premises to become "tax-exempt use
property" within the meaning of Section 168(h) of the Internal Revenue Code, as
amended, or any successor statute thereto (the "Code") or "tax-exempt bond
financed property" within the meaning of Section 168 (g)(5) of the Code, (iii)
would void any certificate of occupancy required for the Demised Premises, (iv)
makes it impossible to obtain or results in the cancellation of policies of
insurance required by this Lease, or (v) increases the risk of environmental
liability to Landlord or Remainderman Trustee, provided, however (without
limiting Tenant's obligations under Articles 12 and 38), that any retail or
office use shall not be deemed to increase the risk of environmental liability
for purposes of this provision so long as Tenant, any assignee or subtenant
relating to such retail or office use shall comply with the first two provisos
of this Article 17.

          Tenant may assign this Lease in whole but not in part or sublet the
whole or any part of the Demised Premises provided (i) no Material Default or
Event of Default hereunder has occurred and is continuing, (ii) that such
assignment or sublease shall be expressly subject and subordinate to this Lease,
(iii) that Tenant shall remain fully and primarily liable for the performance of
Tenant's obligations hereunder and in respect of any of its obligations under
any of the other Operative Documents and Tenant shall so affirm in writing if so
requested by Landlord, (iv) Tenant may not without first obtaining Landlord's
consent assign this Lease, or sublease all or any portion of the Demised
Premises, to any tax-exempt entity (within the meaning of Section 168(h) of the
Code), (v) no term of any sublease shall extend beyond the Base or any extended
term already irrevocably committed to by Tenant and

                                       40
<PAGE>
 
each sublease shall provide that, at the request of Landlord, upon the
termination of this Lease by reason of an Event of Default, sublessee shall
attorn to Landlord pursuant to the then executory provisions of the sublease,
unless the sublessee has the right pursuant to the sublease to terminate the
sublease upon termination of this Lease or discontinuance of Tenant's operations
at the Demised Premises, and (vi) any such assignee or sublessee shall not be a
debtor or debtor-in-possession in a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy
proceeding at the commencement of the assignment or sublease term.  Tenant's
liability hereunder shall continue notwithstanding the rejection of this Lease
or any sublease of this Lease pursuant to Section 365 of Title 11 of the United
States Code or any similar law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or the rights of creditors, which arises subsequent to such
assignment or sublease.  In the event Tenant assigns this Lease and it shall
thereafter be rejected in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding affecting such
assignee, a new lease identical to this Lease shall be deemed reinstituted as
between Landlord and the original-named Tenant without further act of either
party.  Nothing herein shall be construed to permit Tenant to mortgage, pledge,
hypothecate or encumber in any manner or nature whatsoever Tenant's interest
under this Lease in whole or in part.  Tenant shall provide notice to Landlord
of such assignment or sublease no less than fifteen (15) days prior to the
effective date thereof.

     Prior to the date of this Lease, Tenant, as the owner or lessee of the
Demised Premises has entered into leases and/or vendor licenses with other
retail and service operators for space within the building.  Landlord and Tenant
agree that (a) such leases have been assigned by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to
the Assignment of Intangibles and are hereby reassigned, without representation
or warranty, by Landlord to Tenant and shall be deemed subleases of this Lease,
(b) the licenses are permitted hereunder but shall remain the exclusive
obligation of Tenant and Tenant shall be entitled to all of the benefits,
entitlements, fees and other sums payable by the licenses thereunder, (c) Tenant
shall perform all of the obligations of the landlord under such leases and
Tenant shall be entitled to retain all benefits, entitlement, rent and other
sums paid by the tenants under such leases; provided, however, that upon
termination of this Lease following an Event of Default hereunder, such leases
as are designated by Landlord and all licenses shall be terminated by Tenant and
all leases not so terminated and not terminated at the election of the tenants
thereunder shall be automatically assigned to Landlord and, without regard to
any such termination or the termination of this Lease, all rights of Tenant in
and to the benefits, entitlement, rent and other sums paid by tenants under said
leases or by licensees under such licenses shall terminate and any payments made
to Tenant in respect thereof after an Event of Default shall be paid to
Landlord.

                                       41

     Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that (i) no tenant under any
such lease or licensee under any of the vendor licenses is a tax-exempt entity
(within the meaning of Section 168(h) of the Code), and Tenant shall not permit
the assignment or sublease of the tenant's interest under any such lease or the
transfer of any vendor license to such a tax-exempt entity, (ii) no term of any
such lease or license extends beyond the Base Term of this Lease, (iii) Tenant
shall cause each tenant under any such lease and each licensee under the vendor
licenses to comply in all respects with Articles 12(b), 17, 29 and 38, provided,
however, that Tenant shall remain primarily responsible to Landlord and Owner
Participant for compliance with such obligations and (iv) each such lease or
license is terminable by Tenant  upon discontinuance of Tenant's operation at
the Demised Premises.

     18.  Signs.

          (a) The Demised Premises shall be referred to only by such designation
as Tenant may indicate.  Landlord expressly recognizes that the service mark and
trademark "Kmart" is the exclusive property of Tenant, and Landlord agrees that
it shall not either during the term of this Lease or thereafter directly or
indirectly contest the validity of said mark "Kmart," or any of Tenant's
registrations pertaining thereto in the United States or elsewhere, nor adopt or
use said mark or any term, word, mark or designation which is in any aspect
similar to the mark of Tenant.  Landlord further agrees that it will not at any
time do or cause to be done any act or thing directly or indirectly, contesting
or in any way impairing or tending to impair any part of Tenant's right, title
and interest in the aforesaid mark, and Landlord shall not in any manner
represent that it has an ownership interest in the aforesaid mark or
registrations therefor, and specifically acknowledges that any use thereof
pursuant to this Lease shall not create in Landlord any right, title or interest
in the aforesaid mark.

          (b) Tenant shall have the option to erect, subject to applicable Laws
and matters of title to which this Lease is subordinate, and at its sole cost
and expense, upon any portion of the Demised Premises signs of such height and
other dimensions, bearing such legend or inscription as Tenant shall determine.
Tenant shall have the option to utilize the lighting standards in the parking
lot for advertising purposes by attaching, or causing to be attached, signs
advertising any and all products and services as Tenant shall elect provided
same are in compliance with all applicable Laws.  Provided no Event of Default
hereunder has occurred and is continuing, Tenant shall be entitled to remove any
signs, billboards or posters to which it has not consented in writing and to
prohibit the same to be displayed on any portion of the Demised Premises.

                                       42
<PAGE>
 
     19.  Liens.

          Tenant covenants and agrees that it shall not, during the Lease Term,
directly or indirectly create, incur, assume, suffer or permit any lien or
encumbrance on or with respect to the Demised Premises or any part thereof, any
Rent, or any of Landlord's or Tenant's title to or interest in any of the
foregoing except for Permitted Liens (as herein defined).  Tenant shall
promptly, but no later than thirty (30) days after the attachment thereof, at
its own expense, discharge or eliminate or bond in a manner satisfactory to
Landlord any such lien or encumbrance.  In the event such lien or encumbrance is
not so discharged, eliminated or bonded, Landlord may pay and discharge the same
and relieve the Demised Premises therefrom, and Tenant agrees to repay and
reimburse Landlord upon demand for the amount so paid by Landlord together with
interest thereon at the Default Rate.

          "Permitted Liens" shall mean (a) the respective rights and interests
of Tenant, Landlord, Owner Participant, Remainderman Trustee, Indenture Trustee,
Pass Through Trustee and, after payment of the Notes in full and discharge of
the lien of the Indenture, Landlord's mortgagee, in each case as provided in the
Operative Documents; (b) Lessor Liens; (c) Remainderman Liens or liens for taxes
and assessments, in either case, that either are not yet due and payable or are
being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings diligently
conducted, so long as such proceedings do not (i) subject the Demised Premises
or interest therein to imminent risk of foreclosure, forfeiture or loss or
result in the sale of the Demised Premises or interest therein, (ii) interfere
other than to an insignificant extent with the use, possession or disposition of
the Demised Premises or any interest therein, (iii) interfere with the payment
of Rent or (iv) involve any risk of loss of the priority of the lien of the
Indenture; (d) materialmen's, mechanics', workers', repairmen's, employees' or
other like liens arising prior to, on, or after the date hereof in the ordinary
course of business for amounts either not yet due or being contested in good
faith and by appropriate proceedings so long as such proceedings shall not
involve any risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of any part of the Demised
Premises, the Trust Estate (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), title thereto
or any interest therein and shall not materially interfere with the use,
occupancy or disposition of the Demised Premises or the Trust Estate or
interfere with the payment of Rent or involve any risk of loss of the priority
of the lien of the Indenture; (e) liens arising after the date hereof out of
judgments or awards with respect to which at the time an appeal or proceeding
for review is being prosecuted diligently and in good faith and which either
have been bonded to the satisfaction of Landlord and Indenture Trustee or the
enforcement of which has been continuously stayed pending such appeal or review
and which do not interfere with the payment of Rent; (f) easements, rights-of-
way, reservations, servitude and rights of others against the Land which (i) are
defined as

                                       43
<PAGE>
 
Permitted Exceptions in the Purchase Agreement or (ii) are granted pursuant to
the specific provisions of this Lease; and (g) assignments, leases and subleases
expressly permitted by the Operative Documents; provided, however, that in no
event shall any Environmental Lien (as described in Article 12) be deemed a
Permitted Lien.

          Tenant represents and warrants that the Permitted Liens affecting
title to the Demised Premises at the time of the execution of the Indenture do
not adversely affect the use, leasing and operation of the Demised Premises as
contemplated on the date of the Indenture and do not affect Tenant's ability to
pay Basic Rent, Special Additional Rent or Additional Rent when due hereunder.

          For purposes of this Lease, "Lessor Liens" shall mean liens or
encumbrances on or against the Property, this Lease, the Trust Estate (as
defined in the Purchase Agreement) or any payment of Rent (a) which result from
any act of, or any claim against, Landlord or Owner Participant unrelated to the
transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, or (b) which result from
any violation by Landlord or Owner Participant of any of the terms of the
Operative Documents, or (c) which result from liens in favor of any taxing
authority by reason of any Tax owed by Landlord or Owner Participant, the
payment of which is not the obligation of Tenant or Kmart under the Operative
Documents.

          For purposes of this Lease, "Remainderman Liens" shall mean liens or
encumbrances on or against the Property, this Lease, any payment of Rent, the
Trust Estate, the Remainderman Trust Estate (as defined in the Participation
Agreement) or the Indenture Estate which (x) result from any act of, or any
claim against, Remainderman Trustee or Remainderman Participant unrelated to the
transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or which result from any
violation by Remainderman Trustee or Remainderman Participant of any of the
terms of the Operative Documents or (y) which result from liens in favor of any
taxing authority by reason of any Tax owed by Remainderman Trustee or
Remainderman Participant, the payment of which is not the obligation of Tenant
or Kmart under the Operative Documents.

     20.  Tenant Defaults.

          The following shall constitute an Event of Default by Tenant under
this Lease (whatever the reason for such event and whether it shall be voluntary
or involuntary, or come about or be effected by operation of law, or be pursuant
to or in compliance with any applicable Law or Governmental Action), and any
such event shall continue to be an Event of Default if and for so long as it
shall not have been remedied, cured or waived (each, herein referred to as an
"Event of Default"):  (i) failure to pay any installment of Basic Rent, Special
Additional Rent, Termination

                                       44
<PAGE>
 
Value or amounts constituting Make-Whole Premium within five (5) days of the
date such payment is due if Landlord has given Tenant written notice of such due
date not more than thirty (30) business days nor less than two (2) business days
before such due date or within ten (10) days of the date the payment is due if
Landlord does not deliver such written notice; (ii) failure to make any payment
constituting Additional Rent other than Special Additional Rent, Termination
Value or amounts constituting Make-Whole Premium within fifteen (15) days after
notice of non-payment to Tenant; (iii) failure to maintain any insurance
required to be maintained hereunder or under any of the Operative Documents,
(iv) Tenant's failure to perform any of its other covenants or obligations under
this Lease or Kmart's failure to perform any of its covenants or obligations
under any of the other Operative Documents (other than the Tax Indemnification
Agreement) within thirty (30) days after notice thereof to Tenant provided that
any non-monetary default that is curable but is not susceptible to a cure within
thirty (30) days shall not be deemed a default if a cure is commenced within
thirty (30) days after such notice and is diligently pursued thereafter;
provided further that in no event shall such cure period for a non-monetary
default exceed one hundred and eighty (180) days, provided, however, that
Tenant's failure to provide any notice to Remainderman Trustee or Remainderman
Participant as required pursuant to this Lease or to perform any covenant or
obligation under this Lease with respect to Remainderman Trustee or Remainderman
Participant shall not constitute an Event of Default under this Lease; (v)
Tenant shall commence a voluntary case or proceeding seeking liquidation,
reorganization or other relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar
law now or hereafter in effect, or seeking the appointment of a trustee,
receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of Tenant, or Tenant
shall consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession
by any such official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced
against it, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or
an involuntary case or other proceeding shall be commenced against Tenant
seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to it or its
debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in
effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian
or other similar official and such involuntary case or other proceeding shall
remain undismissed or unstayed for a period of ninety (90) consecutive days; and
(vi) (A) any representation or warranty by Tenant or Kmart in this Lease or any
of the other Operative Documents (other than the Tax Indemnification Agreement)
or in any document or certificate expressly required to be delivered pursuant
hereto or thereto or (B) without regard to Tenant's or Kmart's knowledge and
assuming such representation or warranty had been given with no qualifications
as to knowledge, any representation or warranty by Tenant or Kmart with respect
to any of the Developers or the Developer Properties (as such terms are defined
in the Purchase Agreement) or matters related thereto, in each case

                                       45
<PAGE>
 
described in clause (A) or (B) which shall have been false or incorrect when
made in any respect material to Landlord, Owner Participant or any of their
respective assignees, and such falseness or incorrectness is material to
Landlord, Owner Participant or any of their respective assignees, and continues
to be material and which shall not have been cured within thirty (30) days after
receipt of written notice by Tenant from Landlord, unless the default is curable
and Tenant or Kmart shall be diligently proceeding to correct such failure;
provided that in no event shall such cure period extend beyond sixty (60) days
from the date of such notice.

     For purposes of this Lease, a "Material Default" shall mean (x) an event of
the type specified under clause (i) or (v) in the foregoing paragraph which, but
for the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would be an Event of
Default or (y) the failure to pay when due in accordance with the applicable
provisions of the Operative Documents any other amount owed by Tenant to Owner
Participant, Owner Trustee or to a third party for the account or on behalf of
Owner Participant or Owner Trustee for which Tenant has agreed to reimburse
Owner Participant or Owner Trustee pursuant to the provisions of any of the
Operative Documents.

     Notwithstanding anything stated herein to the contrary, to the extent any
failure by Tenant or Kmart to perform any covenant or obligation or breach of a
representation or warranty relates solely to a property or properties other than
the Demised Premises, it shall not give rise to an Event of Default hereunder.

     21.  Landlord Remedies.

          If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing beyond any
applicable cure period, Landlord at its option may, by notice to Tenant, declare
this Lease to be in default, and at any time thereafter, or if there shall exist
an Event of Default described in Section 20(v) hereof, Landlord may, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, exercise one or more of the following
remedies, except as hereinbelow expressly otherwise set forth, as Landlord in
its sole discretion may elect:

          (a) Re-enter the Demised Premises without terminating this Lease and
remove Tenant from possession of the Demised Premises and all of Tenant's
property therefrom at Tenant's expense and without any liability to Tenant for
damages therefor, and Tenant shall remain liable for the equivalent of the
amount of Rent reserved for the balance of the Lease Term less the avails of
reletting by Landlord, if any, after deducting therefrom the reasonable cost of
arrears, alterations necessary to prepare for reletting and for leasing
commissions payable in procuring the substitute lease.

                                       46
<PAGE>
 
          (b) Landlord may sell the Demised Premises or any part thereof
(subject to the rights of the Remainderman Trustee), at public or private sale,
conducted in accordance with applicable Law, as Landlord may determine, free
and clear of any rights of Tenant therein and without any duty to account to
Tenant with respect to such sale or for the proceeds thereof (except to the
extent required by clause (d) below if Landlord shall elect to exercise its
rights thereunder), in which event Tenant's obligation to pay Basic Rent with
respect to the Demised Premises or the part thereof that has been sold, as the
case may be, for periods commencing after the date of such sale shall terminate
(except to the extent that Basic Rent is to be included in computations under
clause (d) below if Landlord shall elect to exercise its rights thereunder).

          (c) Landlord may terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Demised
Premises by any lawful means, in which case this Lease and the Lease Term shall
terminate and Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Demised
Premises to Landlord.  In addition, and regardless of whether Landlord shall
elect to terminate Tenant's right to possession, Landlord shall be entitled to
recover from Tenant (together with interest on such amount at the Default Rate
from the Final Payment Date to the date of actual payment): the sum of (A)(I) if
the Final Payment Date (as defined below) is a Rent Payment Date, all accrued
and unpaid Basic Rent payable in arrears and due and unpaid as of the Final
Payment Date or (II) if the Final Payment Date is not a Rent Payment Date, the
arrears Basic Rent accrued as of such Final Payment Date (it being understood,
in the case of clauses (I) and (II) above, that Tenant shall pay when due any
Basic Rent in arrears due on a Rent Payment Date which occurs on or after the
Event of Default but prior to the Final Payment Date), plus (B) all Additional
Rent due and payable, plus (C) all other amounts due on Landlord's Debt as of
the Final Payment Date which shall not be covered by payments made pursuant to
clauses (A) or (B) above, plus the amount pursuant to Article 21(d) hereof.

          (d) Unless Landlord shall have sold the Demised Premises pursuant to
clause (b) above, Landlord may, whether or not Landlord shall have exercised or
shall thereafter at any time exercise its rights under clause (a), (c) or (e) of
this Article 21, by written notice to Tenant specifying a date ("Final Payment
Date") not earlier than ten (10) days after the date of such notice, demand that
Tenant pay to Landlord, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on the Final Payment
Date, as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and not as a penalty (the
parties agreeing that Landlord's actual damages would be difficult to predict
and the liquidated damages amounts below represent a reasonable approximation of
such amount) (in lieu of Rent due after the Final Payment Date), any unpaid Rent
due and any accrued and unpaid Basic Rent as of the Final Payment Date, plus
whichever one of the following amounts Landlord, in its sole discretion, shall
specify in such notice (together with

                                       47
<PAGE>
 
interest on such amount at the Default Rate from the Final Payment Date
specified in such notice to the date of actual payment):

                    (i) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Adjusted
          Termination Value for the Demised Premises computed as of the Final
          Payment Date, over the fair market sales value of the Demised Premises
          as of the Final Payment Date (such fair market sales value to be
          determined by mutual agreement of Landlord and Tenant or, if they
          cannot agree within ten (10) days after such notice, by an appraisal);
          or

                    (ii) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Adjusted
          Termination Value for the Demised Premises computed as of the Final
          Payment Date over the present value of the fair market rental value as
          of the Final Payment Date for the Demised Premises for the balance of
          the Lease Term, such present value to be computed using a per annum
          rate equal to the Debt Rate, discounted semiannually, from the
          respective dates upon which such Basic Rent would be paid (such fair
          market rental value to be determined by mutual agreement of Landlord
          and Tenant or, if they cannot agree within ten (10) days of such
          notice, by an appraisal); or

                    (iii)  an amount equal to the excess of (A) the present
          value as of the Final Payment Date of all installments of Basic Rent
          through the end of the Base Term or the then applicable renewal term,
          such present value to be computed using a per annum rate equal to the
          Debt Rate, discounted semiannually, from the respective dates upon
          which such Basic Rent would be paid over (B) the present value as of
          such Final Payment Date of the fair market rental value of the Demised
          Premises (such fair market rental value to be determined by mutual
          agreement of Landlord and Tenant or, if they cannot agree within ten
          (10) days of such notice, by an appraisal) through the end of the Base
          Term or the then applicable renewal term, such present value to be
          computed using a per annum rate equal to the Debt Rate, discounted
          semiannually, from the respective dates upon which such Basic Rent
          would be paid; or

                                       48
<PAGE>
 
                    (iv) an amount equal to Adjusted Termination Value computed
          as of the Final Payment Date; provided, however, that Landlord shall,
          after receipt of such amount and all amounts due pursuant to Article
          21 (h) hereof, use reasonable efforts to sell the Demised Premises or,
          at Landlord's option, to have Tenant sell the Demised Premises at
          Tenant's expense, and if such disposition shall occur within 90 days
          of the payment by Tenant of the amount described in this clause (iv)
          and Article 21(h), Landlord shall pay to Tenant from the proceeds of
          such disposition the lesser of (A) such proceeds and (B) Adjusted
          Termination Value.

          "Debt Rate" shall mean the rate equal to the weighted average rate of
interest per annum borne by the Notes as of the date hereof (computed on the
basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months).

          "Adjusted Termination Value" shall mean, for any date, the excess of
(a) the sum of (i) the Termination Value corresponding to or next succeeding the
date in respect of which such calculation is being made (the "Determination
Date") plus (ii) if the Determination Date is not a Basic Rent Payment Date, the
unaccrued portion as of the Determination Date, of Basic Rent payable in
arrears, if any, due on the next succeeding Rent Payment Date (or, if the
Determination Date is a Basic Rent Payment Date, zero) over (b) if the
Determination Date is not a Basic Rent Payment Date, the unaccrued portion as of
the Determination Date, of interest payable on the Notes, if any, due on the
Rent Payment Date next succeeding the Determination Date (or, if the
Determination Date is a Basic Rent Payment Date, zero).

          (e) If Landlord shall have sold the Demised Premises or any part
thereof pursuant to clause (b) of this Article 21, Landlord, if it shall so
elect by notice to Tenant, may demand that Tenant pay to Landlord, and Tenant
shall pay to Landlord, on the date of such sale, as liquidated damages for loss
of bargain and not as a penalty (in lieu of Basic Rent due for periods
commencing after the next Rent Payment Date following the date of such sale),
any unpaid Rent due as of the next Rent Payment Date following the date of such
sale, plus the amount of any deficiency between the Sale Proceeds (as defined
below) and Termination Value, computed as of such Rent Payment Date, together
with interest at the Default Rate, on the amount of such Rent and such
deficiency from the date of such sale until the date of actual payment.  "Sale
Proceeds" shall mean, with respect to any sale of any Demised Premises or any
part thereof by Landlord, the gross proceeds of such sale paid in cash, less all
reasonable costs and expenses

                                       49
<PAGE>
 
incurred by Landlord, the Indenture Trustee, the Remainderman Trustee and/or the
Owner Participant in connection therewith.

          (f) In the event that Landlord rescinds or terminates this Lease, (i)
no reletting, reentry or taking of possession of the Demised Premises by
Landlord will be construed as an election on Landlord's part to terminate this
Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant, (ii)
notwithstanding any reletting, reentry, or taking of possession, Landlord may at
any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for a continuing Event of
Default and (iii) no act or thing done by Landlord or any of its agents,
representatives or employees shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the
Demised Premises, and no agreement accepting a surrender of the Demised Premises
shall be valid unless the same be made in writing and be executed by Landlord.

          (g) Landlord may, as a matter of right and without notice to Tenant or
anyone claiming under Tenant, apply to any court having jurisdiction to appoint
a receiver or receivers of the Demised Premises, and Tenant hereby irrevocably
consents to such appointment and waives notice of any application therefor.  Any
such receiver or receivers shall have all the usual powers and duties of
receivers in like or similar cases, including, without limitation, the right to
collect rents, and the rights to perform any acts which it deems necessary or
desirable to preserve the value, marketability or rentability of the Demised
Premises, or part thereof or interest therein.

          (h) Landlord may (A) demand that Tenant, at Tenant's expense, return
possession of the Demised Premises promptly to Landlord in the manner and
condition required by, and otherwise in accordance with provisions of, Article
27, and further, upon demand, immediately take all necessary steps to vest in
Landlord or its designee all operating licenses, other certificates, permits,
authorizations and approvals relating to the use and occupancy of the Demised
Premises, (B) without prejudice to any other remedy Landlord may have for
possession (to the exclusion of Tenant) of the Demised Premises and expel or
remove Tenant and any other Person who may be occupying the Demised Premises or
any part thereof, all without liability to Landlord, except for Landlord's gross
negligence or willful misconduct, 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.

          In addition, Tenant shall be liable, except as otherwise specifically
provided in this Article 21, without duplication of any amounts payable
hereunder, for any and all unpaid Rent due hereunder before, after or during the
exercise of any of the foregoing remedies and on an After-Tax Basis for all
legal fees and other costs incurred by Landlord, Owner Participant, or Indenture
Trustee by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default or the exercise of
remedies with respect thereto.

     22.  Bankruptcy.

          If an Event of Default described in Article 20(v) occurs, then
Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving notice to Tenant of its intention so
to do; provided, however, neither bankruptcy, insolvency, an assignment for the
benefit of creditors nor the appointment of a receiver shall affect this Lease
or permit its termination so long as (i) no Material Default or other Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) the covenants to be performed
under this Lease shall be performed by Kmart or a person or entity claiming
under Kmart.  In the event Basic Rent and Additional Rent are not paid as herein
provided after the filing of a petition in bankruptcy or any arrearage in Rent
is not made whole, Landlord shall be free to pursue its remedies set forth in
Article 21.

     23.  Quiet Enjoyment.

          Landlord covenants that it and any person rightfully claiming by,
through or under Landlord, shall not (except for suits, claims or disturbances
in respect of Permitted Liens) interfere with Tenant's quiet enjoyment and use
of the Demised Premises in accordance with this Lease and all rights, easements,
appurtenances and privileges belonging or in any way appertaining thereto during
the Lease Term, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing.  The right of quiet enjoyment under this Lease described above is
independent of, and shall not affect, Landlord's rights otherwise to initiate
legal actions seeking to enforce the obligations of Tenant or the rights of
Landlord under this Lease.

     24.  Landlord Exculpation.

          Anything to the contrary in this Lease notwithstanding, the covenants
contained in this Lease to be performed by Landlord shall not be binding
personally, but instead said covenants are made for the purpose of binding only
all of Landlord's right, title and interest in and to the Demised Premises and
the Option Agreement with respect to the Land and neither Landlord nor the Owner
Participant nor any of its or their directors, officers, employees or affiliates
shall have any liability under this Lease in excess of, and Tenant shall have no
recourse against Landlord or any such parties except with respect to, Landlord's
interest in the Demised Premises and the Option Agreement.

     25.  Remedies Cumulative.

          To the extent permitted by, and subject to the mandatory requirements
of, applicable Laws, each and every right, power and remedy herein specifically
given to Landlord or otherwise in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in
addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now
or

                                       51
<PAGE>
 
hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right,
power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be
exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed
expedient by Landlord.  No delay or omission by Landlord in the exercise of any
right, power or remedy or in the pursuit of any remedy shall impair any such
right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default on the part
of Tenant or to be an acquiescence therein.  Landlord's consent to any request
made by Tenant shall not be deemed to constitute or preclude the necessity for
obtaining Landlord's consent, in the future, to all similar requests.  No waiver
by Landlord of any default shall in any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver
of any future or subsequent default.  Receipt by Landlord of any Rent with the
knowledge, on the part of Landlord at the time of such receipt, that Tenant is
in default of any covenant or obligation contained in this Lease shall not be
deemed a waiver by Landlord of such default.

     26.  Estoppel Letters.

          Tenant will execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, within
thirty (30) days of a good faith request by Landlord and Landlord will execute,
acknowledge and deliver to Tenant, within thirty (30) days of a good faith
request by Tenant a certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E and
incorporated by reference herein executed by an authorized officer of Tenant or
Landlord, certifying (a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and
effect (or, if there have been modifications, that this Lease is in full force
and effect, as modified, and stating the modifications); (b) that Tenant has
accepted possession of the Demised Premises and the date on which the Lease Term
commenced and will expire; (c) as to whether Rent has been paid through and
including the last occurring Rent Payment Date, (d) as to the amount of any
prepaid Rent or any unreimbursed portion of Special Additional Rent, (e) as to
whether, to the best of such party's knowledge, information and belief, the
requesting party is then in default in performing any of its obligations
hereunder (and, if so, specifying the nature of each such default); and (f) as
to any other fact or condition reasonably requested by the requesting party.

     27.  Condition of Premises at Termination.

          (a) Unless the Demised Premises have been purchased by Tenant pursuant
to Articles 14, 15, 21, or 39, at the expiration or earlier termination of the
Lease Term Tenant shall surrender the Demised Premises broom clean to Landlord
or its designee, together with all alterations, additions and improvements then
existing thereon, in as good order and condition as existing on the date hereof
except for ordinary wear and tear and consistent with the provisions of Articles
9 and 19 hereof and free and clear of all liens or encumbrances of any type
whatsoever, except for Permitted Liens of the type specified in clauses (a),
(b), (e) (but only if

                                       52
<PAGE>
 
such liens do not impair or restrict the use or sale of the Demised Premises and
are satisfactory to Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, and with respect to
liens of the type specified in clause (e), have been bonded to the satisfaction
of Landlord) and (f) of the definition of "Permitted Liens" in Article 19
hereof, and such other liens or encumbrances for which Tenant has provided
assurance of full payment or complete discharge and adequate assurance that such
lien will not impair the fair market value of the Demised Premises to Landlord
or its designee, such assurances to be satisfactory to Landlord and such
designee.  If such surrender shall be upon the expiration of the Base Term
(including any optional or automatic extension thereof other than a renewal
pursuant to Article 8(a) or 8(c) hereof), (i) notwithstanding Article 5 hereof,
immediately prior to such surrender not less than fifty percent (50%) of the
building located on the Demised Premises shall have been occupied and operated,
except as such occupation or operation may have been precluded by reason of a
casualty, loss or a condemnation, for a use permitted hereunder for the eighteen
(18) calendar months prior to the expiration of the Base Term (including any
optional or automatic extension thereof other than a renewal pursuant to Article
8(a) or 8(c) hereof) (inclusive of the month within which the Base Term or such
extension, as the case may be, expires), except that Tenant may cease such
operation, occupation or use within the last forty-five (45) days of the Base
Term or such extension, as the case may be, and (ii) if at the time of such
surrender the Demised Premises shall have been operated other than as a general
retail store, then either (x) the Demised Premises must be capable of being
refitted for use as a general retail store at no material expense to Landlord,
or (y) Tenant shall have provided no less than thirty (30) days prior to such
surrender an appraisal to the effect that the fair market rental value of the
continued use of the Demised Premises in the condition surrendered will be equal
to or greater than the fair market rental value of the Demised Premises as a
general retail store.  All furniture, signage and trade fixtures installed in
said buildings or elsewhere on the Demised Premises at the expense of Tenant or
other occupant and not a part of the improvements transferred to Landlord
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or any bill of sale related thereto or any
substitution or replacement thereof shall remain the property of Tenant or such
other occupant and shall be removed by Tenant at its expense and without damage
to the Demised Premises (any such damage to be repaired by Tenant prior to
surrender of the Demised Premises) prior to the expiration or earlier
termination of the Lease; provided, however, Tenant shall, at any time and from
time to time during the Lease Term, have the option to relinquish its property
rights with respect to such trade fixtures, which option shall be exercised by
notice of such relinquishment to Landlord, and from and after the exercise of
said option the property specified in said notice shall be the property of
Landlord provided, further, however, that Tenant, irrespective of whether it
delivers its notice of relinquishment, shall pay, or reimburse Landlord for, any
reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in

                                       53
<PAGE>
 
connection with the removal or disposal of such relinquished property or shall,
at the request of Landlord and, irrespective of whether it delivers its notice
of relinquishment, remove such property from the Demised Premises, or, if no
such notice of relinquishment is delivered, Landlord may, at its option, treat
such property as abandoned by Tenant, in which event title to such property
shall vest in Landlord.

          (b) With respect to matters relating to Environmental Laws, not more
than one hundred eighty (180) days nor less than sixty (60) days prior to the
expiration or upon the earlier termination of the Lease Term Tenant shall, at
its sole cost and expense, provide to Landlord and Remainderman Participant a
phase I environmental site assessment report performed by a reputable
environmental consultant selected by Tenant and satisfactory to Landlord, in its
reasonable discretion, stating that no Hazardous Materials have been generated,
produced, manufactured, processed, distributed, maintained, used, handled,
treated, managed, stored, contained, recycled, transported, released, emitted,
discharged, deposited or disposed of on, in, to or from the Demised Premises
other than in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws.  If such is not the
case, the report shall set forth recommendations for such additional
investigation or remedial or other corrective response action relating to the
Demised Premises as may be deemed necessary or advisable by the consultant
("Environmental Recommendations").  If any reporting requirements must be
complied with under applicable Environmental Laws with respect to the Demised
Premises, then it shall be the sole responsibility and cost of Tenant to comply
with these requirements.  In the event the report results in any Environmental
Recommendations, it shall be Tenant's obligation, at Tenant's sole cost and
expense, to timely develop and implement to completion in compliance with all
relevant Environmental Laws a plan to satisfy the Environmental Recommendations
and comply with all applicable Environmental Laws which plan shall include, but
shall not be limited to, plans for full response, remediation, cleanup, removal,
containment, restoration or other corrective action, and the protection, or
mitigative action associated, as appropriate, with the protection of natural
resources including, wildlife, aquatic species, and vegetation associated with
the Demised Premises, as required by applicable Environmental Laws.  Tenant
shall provide Landlord and Remainderman Participant with copies of all reports,
data, correspondence and other documentation relating to matters addressed in
this paragraph immediately upon Tenant's generation or receipt of such
documentation.  If it is required by applicable Environmental Laws, reports
concerning such plan and the results of implementing such plan shall be
submitted by Tenant to the appropriate governmental agency for review and
approval.  Tenant shall complete the implementation of any such plan promptly
and in any event prior to the expiration of the current term of this Lease, but
if additional time is required to complete the implementation of such plan and
Tenant otherwise does not extend

                                       54
<PAGE>
 
the term of this Lease as provided in Article 8 hereof, the term of this Lease
shall automatically be extended on a month to month basis until completion of
such work in full (and Basic Rent during such additional period shall be the
same rental payable under the terms of this Lease with respect to the last year
of the immediately preceding term prorated on a monthly basis and shall be
payable in advance or in arrears on the same basis as Basic Rent in the last
year of the immediately preceding term, together with any rent payable under the
Ground Lease, payable as and when due thereunder, on a prorated basis).

          (c) Simultaneously with such surrender of the Demised Premises to
Landlord or its designee, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord or its designee the
following items:

          (i) originals or clear copies, if same are required to be left at the
          Demised Premises, of all transferable operating licenses, other

          use and occupancy of the Demised Premises;

          (ii) to the extent in the possession or control of Tenant or any
          affiliates of Tenant (or should be in the possession or control of
          Tenant or any affiliates of Tenant):  (x) plans and specifications for
          all mechanical, electrical and HVAC systems pertaining to the Demised
          Premises, (y) as-built drawings, blueprints, operating and repair
          manuals, engineering logs and preventative maintenance records
          relating to the Demised Premises or any additions, alterations or
          modifications thereto that shall not be removed from the Demised
          Premises at the time of, or in connection with, the surrender of the
          Demised Premises to Landlord or its designee;

          (iii) keys to all locks contained in the Demised Premises including
          any additions, alterations or modifications to the Demised Premises,
          in the possession or control of Tenant or any affiliate of Tenant; and

          (iv) such other papers and documents which are in the possession or
          control of Tenant or any affiliate of Tenant which may be necessary
          for the ownership or proper operation of the Demised Premises, or any
          portions thereof, with, in either case, all the additions, alterations
          and modifications thereto.

          (d) In connection with any such surrender, Tenant shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to assign to Landlord or its designee (x) all
then existing maintenance and management contracts relating to the Demised
Premises with Persons other than affiliates of Tenant, which Landlord has agreed
to assume and perform, (y) all

                                       55

and subcontractors relating to the use and occupancy of the Demised Premises, or
any portions thereof, which have not theretofore been assigned to Landlord, and
(z) all then existing claims, except for any such claims against vendors,
customers or other retailers relating to the conduct of Tenant's retail
business, against dealers, manufacturers, vendors, contractors and
subcontractors which are not affiliates of Tenant relating to the Demised
Premises, or any portions thereof (including the use and occupancy thereof),
which have not theretofore been assigned to Landlord.  The obligations of
Landlord and Tenant under this Article 27 shall survive the termination of this
Lease.

thereof.  The necessary grammatical changes which shall be required to make the

cause to be recorded.

     38.  Hazardous Materials.

          For purposes of this Lease, "Hazardous Materials" are defined as (i)
"hazardous substances," as defined by CERCLA, as amended from time to time and
any regulations promulgated thereunder; (ii) "hazardous wastes," as defined by
RCRA, as amended

                                       59
<PAGE>
 
from time to time and any regulations promulgated thereunder; (iii) any
pollutant or contaminant or hazardous, restricted, dangerous or toxic chemicals,
materials, wastes or substances within the meaning of any Environmental Law;
(iv) any chemical, material, substance, or waste, the presence, use, generation,
treatment, release, emission, discharge, transport, storage, or disposal of
which is now or hereafter prohibited, limited or regulated by any Environmental
Law; (v) any substance, material, product, chemical, derivative, compound,
mixture, mineral, waste, gas, medical waste, contaminant, constituent or
pollutant which would require investigation, response or remediation as a result
of any public or private action brought pursuant to any Environmental Law; and
(vi) any radioactive material, asbestos in any form or condition, petroleum or
petroleum products, flammable explosives, urea formaldehyde foam insulation,
polychlorinated biphenyls, and radon gas.

          Tenant agrees that it shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Material
to exist on or be brought upon, generated, produced, manufactured, processed,
distributed, maintained, handled, treated, managed, contained, recycled,
transported, deposited, used, stored, released, disposed of, emitted or
discharged from, at, on or to the Demised Premises during the term of this Lease
except in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws.

          Tenant shall assume any and all costs, expenses, liabilities and
obligations arising prior to or during the Lease Term or arising after the Lease
Term, but predicated upon acts, conditions or omissions which occurred prior to
or during the Lease Term, incurred in connection with or due to the presence of
Hazardous Materials in, on, under or at the soil, surface water, ground water,
sediment, air or any other media associated with the Demised Premises, and shall
promptly and diligently undertake, any investigation or any clean up, response,
remedial, removal, containment, corrective action or restoration work at any
location required pursuant to any applicable Environmental Law or by any
federal, state or local government or political subdivision.  Without limiting
the foregoing, if the presence of any Hazardous Materials at the Demised
Premises results in contamination of the Demised Premises, Tenant shall promptly
take all actions at its sole expense as are necessary to return the Demised
Premises to the  condition existing prior to the introduction of any such
Hazardous Materials to the Demised Premises.  Without limiting Tenant's
obligations hereunder, Tenant may seek environmental response costs from any
third party not a party to this Lease or the Purchase Agreement (and not related
to any party to this Lease or the Purchase Agreement), and Landlord shall
cooperate, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, to a reasonable extent in any such
effort.

     39.  Economic Abandonment.

          (a) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary,
Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that it is possible that, during the Lease Term,
due to changes in the conduct of Tenant's business or other factors, the Demised
Premises may become obsolete or may no longer be economic for Tenant's use or
surplus to the Tenant's needs.  Therefore, on any Rent Payment Date on and after
the 7th anniversary of the commencement of the Lease Term and before the
expiration of the Lease Term upon determination by Tenant in good faith that the
Demised Premises are obsolete or are no longer economic because of reasons as
stated hereinabove or surplus to the Tenant needs, provided no Material Default
or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Tenant may, by providing at
least twelve (12) months and not more than eighteen (18) months notice to
Landlord ("Notice of Termination") and to Remainderman Trustee (provided,
however, that failure of Tenant to deliver any notices to Remainderman Trustee
or Remainderman Participant under this Article shall not affect Tenant's or
Landlord's rights as provided herein), terminate this Lease on the Rent Payment
Date specified in such notice ("Termination Date") and return the Demised
Premises to Landlord.  Such notice (which for purposes of the Indenture will be
a "Redemption Notice" provided that such notice satisfies the requirements set
forth in Section 6 of the Indenture) may be revoked by Tenant on not more than
two occasions during the Lease Term provided such revocation shall have been
made not less than ninety (90) days prior to the Termination Date and provided
further that Landlord shall not have accepted Tenant's request to terminate the
Lease and to return the Demised Premises to Landlord by delivering written
notice of acceptance to Tenant within one hundred (100) days after its receipt
of Notice of Termination ("Landlord's Acceptance") and the Landlord, Owner
Participant, Remainderman Trustee and Remainderman Participant shall have been
reimbursed on an After-Tax Basis for any costs and expenses in connection with
such Redemption Notice and such revocation.  Tenant's Notice of Termination
shall be accompanied by a certificate, signed and sworn to by a duly authorized
and acting Senior Financial Officer of Tenant, stating that Tenant has made the
determination that the Demised Premises are obsolete or are no longer economic
for Tenant's use or surplus to the Tenant's needs  and reciting the reasons for
such determination.

          (b) If Landlord's Acceptance has not been made, Tenant, as non-
exclusive agent for Landlord, shall use its reasonable efforts at its own
expense on behalf of Landlord to obtain cash bids for the purchase of all of
Landlord's right, title and interest in the Demised Premises from persons other
than Tenant, any of its affiliates or anyone with whom Tenant or any of its
affiliates has an understanding as to the subsequent leasing, sale or use of the
Demised Premises or any portions thereof.  Landlord shall also have the right to
obtain cash bids for the purchase thereof, either directly or through Landlord's
agents.  Tenant

                                       61
<PAGE>
 
shall certify to Landlord in writing the amount and terms of each bid received
by Tenant and the name and address of the person submitting a bid.

          (c) If Landlord's Acceptance has not been made, on the Termination
Date Landlord shall (subject to Tenant's receipt in immediately available funds
of the net sales price on such date for the benefit of Landlord and Tenant's
payment of all additional payments specified in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and
(E) below), without recourse or warranty, sell all of its right, title and
interest in the Demised Premises to the bidder which shall have submitted the
highest all cash bid prior to such date and such bidder shall assume Landlord's
obligations under the Tripartite Agreement (as defined in the Purchase
Agreement), the Option Agreement and the Ground Lease, if then in effect.  On
the Termination Date, the total sales price realized at such sale net of all
expenses incurred by Landlord shall be paid to Tenant and Tenant shall pay to
Landlord (or, in the case of Additional Rent, to Landlord or the person entitled
thereto) the sum of (A) the Termination Value of the Demised Premises determined
as of the Termination Date, plus (B) the excess, if any, of the net sales price
of the Demised Premises over such Termination Value, plus (C) all Basic Rent due
and unpaid to and including the Termination Date (other than any portion of
Basic Rent payable in advance on the Termination Date), plus (D) all Additional
Rent owing by Tenant to and including the Termination Date, plus (E) an amount
equal to the Make-Whole Premium, if any, on Landlord's Debt.

          (d) In the event Landlord's Acceptance has been made, on the
Termination Date Tenant shall pay to Landlord solely the amounts set forth in
clauses (C), (D) and (E) of the preceding paragraph.  Upon receipt by Landlord
of such amounts and upon compliance by Tenant with Article 27 hereof, this Lease
shall terminate.

          Landlord shall use its best efforts to determine any non-compliance
with Article 27 hereof and shall give notice of any such non-compliance within
thirty (30) days after Landlord's Acceptance.  Any such notice or any failure to
give such notice shall not impair Landlord's right to give Tenant further
notices of non-compliance with Article 27.

          (e) If Landlord's Acceptance has not been made and a sale shall not
have occurred on or before 30 days prior to the Termination Date, this Lease
shall continue provided that Tenant shall have the right for a period of 60 days
following such Termination Date to make a rejectable offer in writing to
Landlord to purchase the Demised Premises on the next Rent Payment Date (which
shall thereafter be deemed the Termination Date) for an amount equal to the
amounts set forth in clauses (C), (D) and (E) of paragraph (c) above (calculated
with respect to such deemed Termination Date) together with the higher of the
(x) then fair market sales value of the

                                       62
<PAGE>
 
Demised Premises as agreed to by the parties or as determined by an appraisal
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and Tenant obtained at Tenant's sole cost
and expense, to be performed in accordance with Article 45 hereof, or (y)
Termination Value of the Demised Premises determined as of the deemed
Termination Date.  If Landlord rejects such offer, this Lease shall terminate,
and Landlord shall retain the Demised Premises, on the Termination Date, and
Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the Termination Date solely the amounts set
forth in clauses (C), (D) and (E) of paragraph (c) above.  Upon receipt by
Landlord of such amounts and upon compliance by Tenant with Article 27 hereof,
this Lease shall terminate.  In the event Landlord elects to accept Tenant's
offer and transfer the Demised Premises to Tenant on the Termination Date, upon
receipt by Landlord of the amounts set forth in the first sentence of Article
39(e) it shall transfer all of its right, title and interest in the Demised
Premises in an "as is" condition without recourse or warranty, except that the
Demised Premises shall be free and clear of Lessor Liens and Tenant shall assume
the obligations of Landlord under the Tripartite Agreement, Option Agreement and
Ground Lease, if then in effect.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in connection with a transfer to
Tenant pursuant to this clause (e), Tenant shall elect to exchange full recourse
securities for the Notes pursuant to Section 20 of the Participation Agreement
and shall satisfy the conditions precedent set forth in such Section 20 and
Section 7 of the Indenture for such exchange, the amount payable to Landlord
pursuant to this clause (e) shall be reduced by an amount equal to the unpaid
principal balance of such Notes.

          (f) Landlord may, but shall be under no duty to, solicit bids, or to
inquire into the efforts of Tenant to obtain bids or otherwise to take any
action in connection with any sale hereunder other than to sell the Demised
Premises to the highest independent third party bidder in accordance with the
terms hereof.  In the event that Tenant terminates this Lease under this Article
39, and Tenant purchases the Demised Premises pursuant to Article 39(e), the
Tenant covenants that it shall not use the Demised Premises for any purpose.
The provisions of this Article 39(f) shall survive termination of this Lease.

     40.  Tenant's Purchase Offer.

          (a) At any time that an offer by Tenant to purchase the Demised
Premises ("Tenant's Purchase Offer") shall have been made or be required to be
made pursuant to Articles 14 or 15 of this Lease, Landlord shall notify Tenant
within sixty (60) days of Tenant's Purchase Offer whether Landlord accepts or
rejects such offer.  Failure by Landlord to notify Tenant of Landlord's election
within such sixty (60) day period shall be deemed acceptance of Tenant's
Purchase Offer.  No purported rejection of such offer shall be valid unless
Landlord shall further deliver to Tenant, no

                                       63
<PAGE>
 
later than thirty-five (35) days prior to the Purchase Offer Termination Date,
the Indenture Trustee's confirmation of receipt of deposited funds pursuant to
Section 6.4 of the Indenture.

          (b) In the event Landlord accepts Tenant's Purchase Offer and subject
to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Article 40, this Lease
shall terminate on the next scheduled Rent Payment Date occurring not less than
one-hundred (100) days from the date of Tenant's Purchase Offer ("Purchase Offer
Termination Date").  On the Purchase Offer Termination Date, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord (or in the case of Additional Rent to Landlord or the person entitled
thereto) an amount equal to the sum of (A) the Termination Value of the Demised
Premises determined as of the Purchase Offer Termination Date, (B) all Basic
Rent due and unpaid to and including the Purchase Offer Termination Date (other
than any portion of Basic Rent payable in advance on the Purchase Offer
Termination Date), plus (C) all Additional Rent owing by Tenant to and including
the Purchase Offer Termination Date (other than any portion payable in advance
on the Purchase Offer Termination Date).

          On the Purchase Offer Termination Date, and subject to the receipt by
Landlord of the amounts specified in the preceding paragraph, Landlord shall
convey all of its right, title and interest in and to the Demised Premises in an
"as is" condition without recourse or warranty, except that the Demised Premises
shall be free and clear of Lessor Liens and Tenant shall assume the obligations
of Landlord under the Tripartite Agreement, Option Agreement and Ground Lease,
if then in effect.

          Tenant shall pay, on an After-Tax Basis, all costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the sale of the Demised Premises to Tenant pursuant
to Tenant's Purchase Offer, including, without limitation, real estate transfer
taxes.

          (c) In the event Landlord rejects Tenant's Purchase Offer pursuant to
Article 14 or 15 of this Lease, on the Purchase Offer Termination Date Tenant
shall pay to Landlord (or in the case of Additional Rent to Landlord or the
person entitled thereto) an amount equal to the sum of clauses (B) and (C) of
the second sentence of paragraph (b) above and this Lease shall thereupon
terminate.  Any Rent and other charges paid in advance and not yet accrued as of
the Purchase Offer Termination Date shall be refunded to Tenant on such date.

     41.  Property Substitution.

          (a) Provided no Material Default or Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing and that Landlord has not elected to retain the Demised Premises
in accordance with the terms hereof, at any time that Tenant shall be entitled
or required to acquire the Demised Premises pursuant to Articles 14, 15 or 39(e)
hereunder,

                                       64
<PAGE>
 
Tenant shall be entitled, by notice delivered to Landlord within the periods
provided for in Articles 14, 15 or 39 for notice of any acquisition contemplated
thereby or following which Tenant is required to acquire, in lieu thereof to
substitute equivalent interests in a single retail store (such retail store,
including related site improvements and related land upon which such building
and improvements are constructed are herein referred to as the "Substitute
Property") as Landlord's interests in the Demised Premises immediately prior to
the event which gave rise to the substitution for Landlord's interests in the
Demised Premises provided that (i) the fair market value of such interests in
the Substitute Property as determined by appraisal procedures set forth in
Article 45 hereof shall be not less than the fair market value of Landlord's
interest in the Demised Premises immediately prior to the event which gave rise
to the substitution (assuming the Demised Premises was being maintained in
accordance with the terms of this Lease until such time); (ii) the useful life
of the improvements relating to the Substitute Property as determined by
appraisal procedures set forth in Article 45 hereof shall be not less than the
useful life of the improvements relating to the Demised Premises immediately
prior to the event which gave rise to the substitution (assuming the Demised
Premises was being maintained in accordance with the terms of this Lease until
such time); (iii) the economic terms relating to Landlord with respect to such
equivalent interests shall be at least equivalent to the economic terms in
effect with respect to the Demised Premises immediately prior to the event which
gave rise to the substitution, including, without limitation, an estate for
years at no additional cost of the same duration as the then-remaining term of
the Estate for Years with respect to the Demised Premises and an option to
ground lease the land related to the Substitute Property at the same rentals and
for not less than the same term (including renewals) as would apply to the
Demised Premises; (iv) the representations and warranties of Kmart made with
respect to the Demised Premises under the Operative Documents shall be remade
and true with respect to the Substitute Property on the effective date of
substitution; (v) a phase I environmental due diligence report, survey and title
report, each in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, Owner Participant
and Indenture Trustee, concerning the Substitute Property, shall have been
provided in sufficient time for appropriate review by Landlord, Owner
Participant and Indenture Trustee prior to the effective date of such
substitution and (vi) the Substitute Property is free of material liability
exposures or matters disclosed by the applicable survey or title report and not
taken into account in the applicable appraisal that would materially adversely
affect the fair market value of the Substitute Property.  In the event a Phase I
environmental due diligence report recommends further environmental analysis in
connection with the Substitute Property, Tenant shall determine in its sole
discretion whether to undertake such further analysis or to substitute
equivalent interests in another retail store for Landlord's

                                       65
<PAGE>
 
interests in the Demised Premises, pursuant to the terms of this paragraph.

          (b) On the substitution date, which shall be no later than 120 days
following the notice to Landlord pursuant to clause (a) of this Article 41,
Landlord shall convey all of its right, title and interest in and to the Demised
Premises to Tenant in an "as is" condition, without recourse or warranty except
that it shall be free and clear of Lessor Liens and Tenant shall assume the
obligations of Landlord under the Tripartite Agreement, Option Agreement and
Ground Lease, if then in effect, upon delivery by Tenant to Landlord of all of
the following, provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to an
appropriate extension of such 120-day period if Landlord and Owner Participant
or Indenture Trustee have not completed their review of all information required
hereunder within such period (provided that Tenant has provided Landlord and
Owner Participant the information to be reviewed on a timely basis throughout
such period):

               (i) documents in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord and
     Owner Participant which, in consideration of Landlord's agreement to accept
     the interests in the Substitute Property in lieu of Tenant's acquisition of
     the Demised Premises pursuant to Articles 14, 15 or 39 hereof, grant to
     Landlord the equivalent interests in the Substitute Property as Landlord's
     interests in the Demised Premises immediately prior to the event which gave
     rise to the substitution, including those documents and the satisfaction of
     the conditions with respect to the Substitute Property which are set forth
     in Sections 6A(1), (3), (4), (9), (10), (11), (12) and (18) of the Purchase
     Agreement;

               (ii) an amendment to this Lease (or restatement thereof) and
     memorandum of this Lease, as so amended or restated, duly executed and
     acknowledged in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord,
     Owner Participant and Tenant to replace the description of the Land with
     the description of all land included in the Substitute Property and make
     such other changes herein as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate
     under the circumstances; provided, however, that in no event shall the
     Termination Value or Basic Rent be reduced, deferred or abated;

               (iii)  a copy of a final as-built survey of the Substitute
     Property, dated a recent date, reasonably satisfactory in form and
     substance to Landlord and Owner Participant and meeting the survey
     requirements for the Demised Premises set forth in Section 5B of the
     Purchase Agreement;

                                       66
<PAGE>
 
               (iv) counterparts of an ALTA owner's and loan policies of title
     insurance (or such other form of loan policy as may be prescribed by
     statute in a particular state) covering the interests in the Substitute
     Property to be conveyed to Landlord (or the valid, binding, unconditional
     commitment therefor), dated the substitution date, in form and substance
     reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, Owner Participant and Indenture
     Trustee meeting the requirements of Section 5A of the Purchase Agreement,
     issued to them by a title insurance company reasonably satisfactory to
     Landlord and Owner Participant;

               (v) certificates of insurance, if any, required with respect to
     the Substitute Property pursuant to Articles 7 and 14 hereof;

               (vi) a copy of the appraisal and environmental certification with
     respect to the Substitute Property meeting the requirements of Section 7C
     of the Purchase Agreement; and

               (vii)  such other certificates, documents, opinions of counsel,
     surveys, consents, approvals, certified copies of duly adopted resolutions
     of the respective boards of directors of Landlord and Tenant authorizing
     the substitution of the interests in the Substitute Property and the
     documents executed in connection therewith, and any other instruments as
     may be reasonably required by either of them, Owner Participant or the
     Indenture Trustee.

          Tenant shall pay, on an After-Tax Basis, all costs and expenses
incurred by Landlord or Owner Participant in connection with the transfer of
Landlord's interests in the Demised Premises to Tenant and the transfer to
Landlord of the equivalent interests in the Substitute Property, including
without limitation, reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with
the review related to the Substitute Property and real estate transfer taxes.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing the Tenant shall not be permitted to
exercise its substitution rights (i) unless the long-term senior unsecured debt
securities of Tenant shall then be rated in one of the generic rating categories
that signify "investment grade" by at least two nationally recognized
statistical rating organizations and Tenant shall then meet the Net Worth
Standard, and (ii) if within sixty (60) days of receipt by Landlord of a written
notice setting forth in reasonable detail all of the material terms and
conditions of, together with all other material information and documentation
relating to, the substitution and the Substitute Property, Owner Participant
shall have delivered to

                                       67
<PAGE>
 
Tenant an opinion of independent tax counsel selected by Owner Participant and
reasonably acceptable to Tenant that there is a reasonable basis to believe that
the substitution could result in adverse tax consequences to Landlord, Owner
Participant or with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Operative
Documents which are not indemnified by Tenant pursuant to the Operative
Documents unless Tenant shall agree either to restructure the substitution
transaction in a form and manner which in the opinion of Owner Participant and
its tax counsel would eliminate the risk of any adverse tax consequences to
Landlord, Owner Participant or with respect to the transactions contemplated by
the Operative Documents or to indemnify the Landlord and Owner Participant for
such adverse tax consequences in a form and manner satisfactory to Owner
Participant.

     42.  Landlord's Right to Cure Tenant's Default.

          If Tenant shall be in default of any of its obligations (after
applicable notice and cure periods) under this Lease, Landlord, without waiving
or releasing any obligation or default, may (but shall be under no obligation
to) at any time thereafter make such payment or perform such act for the account
and at the expense of Tenant, and may enter upon the Demised Premises for such
purpose and take all such action thereon as, in Landlord's opinion, may be
necessary or appropriate therefor.  No such entry shall be deemed an eviction of
Tenant or a breach of Article 23 hereof.  All sums so paid by Landlord and all
costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses)
so incurred, together with a late charge thereon (to the extent permitted by
law) at the Default Rate (or at the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is
the lesser) from the date on which such sums or expenses are paid or incurred by
Landlord, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand.

     43.  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, firm, corporation or
other entity may acquire, own or hold, directly or indirectly, (a) this Lease or
the leasehold estate created hereby or any interest in this Lease or such
leasehold estate and (b) the fee estate in the Demised Premises or any interest
therein.

     44.  Ownership of the Leased Property.

          Tenant acknowledges that the Demised Premises are the property of
Landlord and that Tenant has only the right to the possession and use of the
Demised Premises upon the terms and conditions of this Lease.

     45.  Procedure for Appraisals.

          In each instance under this Lease where an appraisal shall be required
(except with respect to an appraisal required by Article 21), such appraisal
shall be conducted as follows:

          (a) The party desiring such appraisal shall give notice to that effect
to the other party, specifying therein the name and address of the person
designated to act as appraiser on its behalf.  Within fifteen (15) days after
the service of such notice, the other party shall give notice to the first party
specifying the name and address of the person designated to act as appraiser on
its behalf.  If such party fails to notify the other party of the appointment of
its appraiser within or by the time above specified, the designated appraiser
shall be the sole appraiser and the determination of such appraiser shall be
binding upon the parties.

          (b) The appraisers so chosen shall meet within ten (10) days after the
second appraiser is appointed and if within thirty (30) days of such first
meeting the two appraisers agree on the value which they have been appointed to
determine, such agreed upon value shall be the appraised value for the purposes
for which the appraisal was required.  If within thirty (30) days after such
first meeting the two appraisers shall be unable to agree upon such valuation
within fifteen (15) days thereafter they shall appoint a third appraiser who
shall be competent and impartial. Within thirty (30) days after the appointment
of such third appraiser, the third appraiser shall deliver its appraisal.  With
respect to the three appraisals, the appraisal most different from the average
of the other two shall be discarded and such average shall be binding on
Landlord and Tenant; provided that if the highest appraisal and the lowest
appraisal are equidistant from the third appraisal, the third appraisal shall be
binding on Landlord and Tenant.

          (c) In the event the two appraisers are unable to agree upon the
appointment of a third appraiser within fifteen (15) days after their being
unable to agree upon a valuation, such third appraiser shall be selected by the
parties themselves if they can agree thereon within a further period of fifteen
(15) days.  If the parties do not so agree, then the other party may apply to a
court in the county where the Demised Premises is located for the appointment of
such appraiser, and such party shall not raise any question as to the court's
full power and jurisdiction to entertain the application and make the
appointment.

          (d) Any appraiser appointed pursuant to this Article shall be an
appraiser who is a member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers
(or a successor organization), and shall have been doing business as such for a
period of at least ten (10) years before the date of his appointment.  All
appraisers chosen or appointed pursuant to this Article shall be sworn fairly
and impartially to perform their duties as such appraiser.  In the

                                       69
<PAGE>
 
event of the failure, refusal or inability of any appraiser to act, his
successor shall be appointed within ten (10) days by the party who originally
appointed him or in the event such party shall fail so to appoint such
successor, the appraiser of the other party shall be the sole appraiser, or in
the case of the third appraiser, his successor shall be appointed as provided in
paragraph (c) above.

          (e) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, the fees and expenses
of all such appraisers shall be borne by Tenant.  Each party shall be
responsible for the fees and expenses of its own attorneys and other
representatives.  Photocopies of the reports of all appraisers shall be provided
to all the parties.  In rendering their decision, the appraisers shall have no
power to modify or reform any of the provisions of this Lease.

          (f) In the event of an appraisal under Article 21, Landlord shall
appoint an appraiser who meets the requirements of subparagraph (d) above.

          (g) Each appraisal effected pursuant to this Article shall take into
consideration the estate for years and options granted by Remainderman Trustee
and exercisable by Landlord or any benefits available to Landlord under the
Ground Lease and shall, other than in connection with any determination pursuant
to Article 21, assume that the Demised Premises has been maintained in
accordance with the terms of this Lease until such time and are in the condition
required by Article 27 of this Lease.

     46.  Survival of Tenant's Obligations.

          No termination of this Lease shall relieve Tenant or Kmart of any of
its liabilities and obligations hereunder arising or occurring prior to such
termination.

     47.  Counterparts.

          This Lease may be executed by the parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original,
but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

     48.  Liabilities of Landlord.

          Landlord is entering into this Lease solely in its capacity as owner
trustee under the Trust Agreement and not in its individual capacity, and in no
event whatsoever shall [Owner  Trustee] (or any entity acting as successor
trustee, co-trustee or separate trustee under the Trust Agreement) be liable on,
or for any loss in respect of, any of Landlord's statements, representations,
warranties, agreements or obligations (except those explicitly entered into in
its individual capacity) hereunder

                                       70

or under any of the other Operative Documents, or any other document executed by
Landlord in connection herewith for any reason whatsoever, all as to which the
parties agree to look solely to the Trust Estate.

     49.  Indenture.

          In order to secure the Notes, Landlord provides in the Indenture,
among other things, for the assignment (to the extent provided therein) by
Landlord to Indenture Trustee of its right, title and interest to this Lease.
Tenant hereby:

               (a) consents to such assignment pursuant to the terms of the
     Indenture;

               (b) covenants to pay directly to Indenture Trustee (or, after
     receipt of notice from Indenture Trustee stating that the Indenture has
     been satisfied and discharged, to Landlord) Basic Rent, Special Additional
     Rent and Additional Rent due to Landlord hereunder or under any other
     Operative Document which shall be required to be paid to Indenture Trustee
     pursuant to the Indenture or any other Operative Document;

               (c) agrees that the right of Indenture Trustee to such payments
     hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by
     any circumstances whatsoever; and

               (d) agrees that until release of the Indenture as to the
     Property, except with respect to Excepted Rights and Excepted Payments, (i)
     the Indenture Trustee shall have such right to enforce the provisions of
     this Lease as is provided in the Indenture; (ii) Landlord shall not, for
     any reason, be obligated to seek to recover from the Indenture Trustee any
     moneys paid to the Indenture Trustee by virtue of the Indenture; (iii) all
     sums payable to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture shall be
     paid by bank wire transfer in such manner that on the date on which sums
     are due and payable, as of 12:00 noon (New York City time), or such earlier
     date or time as may be necessary to ensure timely payments on the
     Certificates, the Indenture Trustee shall be in actual receipt of
     immediately available funds; (iv) Tenant shall deliver to the Indenture
     Trustee duplicate originals of all notices and other instruments which
     Tenant may deliver pursuant to this Lease (and no payment of such sums or
     delivery of such notices or other instruments by Tenant shall be of any
     force or effect unless, with respect to payments, paid in accordance with
     written directions from Indenture Trustee and, with

                                       71
<PAGE>
 
     respect to notices, delivered to Landlord and the Indenture Trustee as
     provided above); (v) Tenant shall not pay any Basic Rent, Special
     Additional Rent or Additional Rent payable to Landlord more than ten (10)
     days prior to such payment's scheduled due date under this Lease; (vi)
     Tenant shall not enter into any agreement subordinating or (except as
     expressly permitted by the terms of this Lease as in effect on the date
     hereof) terminating this Lease without the prior written consent of the
     Indenture Trustee, and any such attempted subordination or termination
     without such consent shall be void, and, except as otherwise provided in
     Section Article 11 of the Indenture and except with respect to Excepted
     Rights and Excepted Payments, Tenant shall not enter into any amendment or
     modification of this Lease without the prior written consent of the
     Indenture Trustee, and any such attempted amendment or modification without
     such consent shall be void; (vii) if this Lease shall be amended, it shall
     continue to be subject to the provisions of the Indenture without the
     necessity of any further act by Landlord, Tenant or the Indenture Trustee;
     (viii) Tenant shall not take any action to terminate, rescind, surrender or
     avoid this Lease, notwithstanding, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
     the bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, readjustment,
     liquidation, dissolution or other proceeding affecting Landlord or any
     assignee of Landlord and notwithstanding any action with respect to this
     Lease which may be taken by an assignee, trustee or receiver of Landlord or
     of any such assignee or by any court in any such proceedings; and (ix) in
     the event of a foreclosure under the Indenture by the Indenture Trustee, or
     conveyance in lieu thereof, Tenant shall attorn hereunder to the purchaser
     at foreclosure or recipient of a conveyance in lieu thereof, as applicable,
     and notwithstanding anything herein that may be construed to the contrary,
     if the Notes are deemed canceled, paid or otherwise satisfied (in whole or
     in part) by reason of such foreclosure or conveyance in lieu thereof, then
     provisions of this Lease relating to Tenant's obligations with respect to
     amounts payable to Landlord in excess of amounts payable under the
     Indenture shall continue unaffected and shall be construed for all purposes
     as if the Notes and the Indenture were still in full force and effect and
     that payments made hereunder by Tenant were applied to the reduction of the
     indebtedness evidenced by the Notes in the manner and at the times provided
     for in the Indenture.  The Indenture Trustee is an express third party
     beneficiary of the agreements contained in this Article.

                                       72

     Tenant, at Tenant's expense, shall cause the Indenture, a memorandum of
     this Lease and all necessary financing statements and continuation
     statements under the Uniform Commercial Code (including, without
     limitation, financing statements with respect to fixtures included within
     the Demised Premises) to be recorded, registered and filed from time to
     time in such manner and in such places as may be required by law and shall
     take all such other actions as may be required in order to make effective,
     perfect and maintain perfection of the rights, liens and security interests
     intended to be created in connection with this Lease and the Indenture, in
     each case, promptly after the execution and delivery thereof.

     50.  Change in Control; Sale of Assets.

          Tenant shall not consolidate with or merge into any other Person or
convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety
to any Person, and Tenant shall not permit any Person to consolidate with or
merge into Tenant or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets
substantially as an entirety, unless:

          (a) in case Tenant shall consolidate with or merge into another Person
          or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially
          as an entirety to any Person, the Person formed by such consolidation
          or into which Tenant is merged or the Person which acquires by
          conveyance or transfer, or which leases, the properties and assets of
          Tenant substantially as an entirety shall be a solvent corporation,
          partnership or trust, shall be organized and validly existing under
          the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the
          District of Columbia and shall expressly assume, by an instrument
          reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and the Indenture Trustee the
          performance or observance of every covenant of this Lease and the
          other Operative Documents including, without limitation, the
          obligation to deliver financial statements of such Person
          corresponding to those of Tenant described in Section 7 of the
          Participation Agreement, on the part of Tenant to be performed or
          observed;

          (b) such transaction shall not result in an Event of Default or an
          event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an
          Event of Default;

          (c) Tenant has delivered to Landlord, Owner Participant and Indenture
          Trustee a certificate of a responsible officer of Tenant stating that
          such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, or lease complies
          with this Article 50 and that all conditions precedent herein

                                       73
<PAGE>
 
          provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with.

          Upon any consolidation of Tenant with, or merger of Tenant into, any
other Person or any conveyance, transfer or lease of the properties and assets
of Tenant substantially as an entirety in accordance with this Article 50, the
successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which Tenant is merged or
to which such conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and be
substituted for, and may exercise every power and right of, Tenant under this
Lease with the same effect as if such successor Person had been the named Tenant
herein.

Board of Directors
Kmart Corporation
3100 West Big Beaver Road
Troy, Michiqan 48084

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We have acted as special counsel to Kmart Corporation, a Michigan
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the proposed offer and sale by
means of an underwritten public offering of up to $210,000,000 of pass through
certificates (the "Pass Through Certificates") evidencing interests in two
separate pass through trusts (the "Pass Through Trusts") formed pursuant to two
separate pass through trust agreements (the "Pass Through Trust Agreements"),
between Shawmut Bank Connecticut, National Association, as Pass Through Trustee
under each of Pass Through Trust Agreement 1995-K3 and Pass Through Trust
Agreement 1995-K4 (hereinafter Shawmut Bank Connecticut, National Association is
referred to as the "Pass Through Trustee"), and the Company, as contemplated in
the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3 as filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The trust
property of each Pass Through Trust will consist of mortgage notes (the
"Mortgage Notes") issued as non-recourse obligations of one of four owner
trustees (the "Owner Trustees") to finance the sale-leaseback transactions
involving 18 of the Company's retail stores, each acquired by an Owner Trustee
and leased by that Owner Trustee to the Company. Each Mortgage Note will be
issued under a trust indenture, as supplemented by a mortgage, deed of trust,
assignment of leases and rents, security agreement, financing statement and
supplemental indenture (as so supplemented, an "Indenture"), by and between the
related Owner Trustee and Shawmut Bank Connecticut, National Association, and
Kathy A. Larimore, acting solely as indenture trustees. You have requested our
opinion regarding the legality of the Pass Through Certificates.

         We have examined such statutes, regulations, agreements, documents and
certificates of public officials and corporate
<PAGE>
 
Board of Directors

officers as we deemed necessary for the purpose of this opinion. In rendering
this opinion, we have assumed that each of the Company and the Pass Through
Trustee will have duly authorized, executed and delivered the respective Pass
Through Trust Agreement, that at the time of such authorization, execution and
delivery, each of the Company and such Pass Through Trustee will have had the
full power, authority and legal right to have done so, and that the Underwriting
Agreement to be entered into by the Company and Morgan Stanley & Co.
Incorporated and Goldman, Sachs & Co. relating to the Pass Through Certificates
(the "Underwriting Agreement") will have been duly authorized, executed and
delivered. With respect to matters which are governed by the laws of the State
of New York, we have relied upon the opinion of even date herewith of Shearman &
Sterling.

         Based on the foregoing and upon such legal considerations as we deem
relevant, we are of the opinion that (i) each Pass Through Trust Agreement, when
duly executed and delivered, will constitute the valid and binding agreement of
the Company and the respective Pass Through Trustee, and (ii) each of the Pass
Through Certificates, when duly executed, issued, delivered and authenticated in
accordance with the terms of the Pass Through Trust Agreement under which it is
issued and sold in accordance with the terms set forth in the Underwriting
Agreement, will be the valid and binding obligation of the respective Pass
Through Trustee, and the holder thereof will be entitled to the benefits
provided by the Pass Through Trust Agreement under which such Pass Through
Certificate is issued.

         We are members of the Michigan Bar and, for purposes of this opinion,
do not hold ourselves out as experts on, nor are we, in rendering our opinion
herein, passing on any matter of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the
federal laws of the United States and the laws of the State of Michigan.

         The undersigned consents to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to
the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the caption
"Legal Opinions".


                                                Very truly yours,

     Re:  Kmart 1995 Pass Through Certificates
          ------------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as counsel to Shawmut Bank Connecticut, National Association,
a national banking association ("Shawmut"), individually and as Pass Through
Trustee (the "Pass Through Trustee") under the proposed Pass Through Trust
Agreements (the "Pass Through Trust Agreements") by and between Shawmut and
Kmart Corporation ("Kmart"), in connection with the filing by Kmart with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (as amended from time to time, the
"Registration Statement").  The Registration Statement relates, inter alia, to
the issuance of Pass Through Certificates (the "Certificates") by the Pass
Through Trustee pursuant to the Pass Through Trust Agreements.

     We have examined the forms of the Pass Through Trust Agreements (including
the forms of Certificates attached as an exhibit thereto) which you have
furnished to us and which are being filed as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.  We have also examined and relied upon originals, or copies certified
or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate
records and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the
purposes of this opinion.

     The opinions set forth herein are limited to the federal laws of the United
States of America governing the banking and trust powers of Shawmut and the laws
of the State of Connecticut.  Insofar as the opinions expressed herein involve
the laws of other jurisdictions, including, without limitation, the opinions
expressed in paragraph 4 below, we have with your permission assumed that the
laws of such
<PAGE>
 
Kmart Corporation
June 7, 1995
Page Two


jurisdictions are in all material respects identical to the laws of the State of
Connecticut. In addition, without limiting the foregoing, we express no opinion
with respect to (i) federal securities laws, including without limitation the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, or (ii) state
securities or blue sky laws. The opinions set forth herein are subject to (i)
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization, fraudulent
conveyance, receivership and similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of
creditors generally, and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of
whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

     In rendering the opinions set forth herein, we have assumed that the Pass
Through Trust Agreements will not differ in any material respect from the forms
thereof delivered to us and filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement,
that each series of Certificates will be issued in accordance with the
provisions of the Pass Through Trust Agreements, and that each Certificate will
not differ in any material respect from the form thereof attached to the form of
Pass Through Trust Agreement examined by us to which such Certificate relates.

     In addition, we have assumed the due authorization, execution and delivery
of the Pass Through Trust Agreements by Kmart, the full power, authority and
legal right of Kmart to authorize, execute, deliver and perform each such
document and the compliance by each such document with Kmart's charter and by-
laws and with all laws, governmental rules and regulations that may be
applicable to Kmart.

     To the extent that any opinion expressed herein speaks to any event which
may occur after the date hereof (a "Future Event"), we have assumed that at the
time of any such Future Event no change in any circumstance of fact or law that
exists on the date hereof (or that has been expressly assumed by us herein) will
have occurred such as to affect any opinion expressed herein.

     Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

     1.   Shawmut has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a
national banking association in good standing under the laws of the United
States of America.
<PAGE>
 
Kmart Corporation
June 7, 1995
Page Three


     2.   Upon the execution and delivery by Kmart of the Pass Through Trust
Agreements, the Pass Through Trust Agreements will have been duly authorized and
will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Shawmut.

     3.   Upon the execution and delivery by Shawmut of the Pass Through Trust
Agreements, the execution and delivery by the Pass Through Trustee of the
Certificates to be issued pursuant to the Pass Through Trust Agreements will
have been duly authorized by the Pass Through Trustee.

     4.   Upon the execution and delivery of the Certificates by the Pass
Through Trustee, in accordance with the terms of the Pass Through Trust
Agreements, each such Certificate, when issued and sold in accordance with the
underwriting agreement with respect thereto between Kmart and the underwriters
named therein will be a valid and binding obligation of the Pass Through Trustee
and will be entitled to the benefits of the Pass Through Trust Agreement to
which such Certificate relates.

     We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and to the reference to us under the caption "Legal Opinions" in the
prospectus contained in the Registration Statement.   In giving this consent, we
do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is
required under Section 7 of the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

     This opinion is only for your benefit in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Registration Statement, except that it may be relied on by
Shearman & Sterling and Dickinson, Wright, Moon, Van Dusen & Freeman in
connection therewith.

                              Very truly yours,

                              /s/ Shipman & Goodwin

with the proposed offer and sale by means of an underwritten public offering of

          -------------------------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as counsel to Shawmut Bank Connecticut, National Association,
a national banking association ("Shawmut"), individually and as Pass Through
Trustee (the "Pass Through Trustee") under the proposed Pass Through Agreements
(the "Pass Through Agreements") by and between Shawmut and Kmart Corporation
("Kmart"), in connection with the filing by Kmart with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933
Act"), of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (as amended from time to time,
the "Registration Statement").  The Registration Statement relates, interalia,
to the issuance of Pass Through Certificates (the "Pass Through Certificates")
by the Pass Through Trustee pursuant to the Pass Through Agreements.

     As such counsel, we have reviewed the form of the Pass Through Certificates
and the form of Pass Through Agreements which have been filed as exhibits to the
Registration Statement, and have examined and relied upon originals, or copies
certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents,
corporate records and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable
for the purposes of this opinion.

     The opinions set forth herein are based on and limited to the Federal laws
of the United States and the laws of the State of Connecticut.  With respect to
the discussion in the prospectus which forms part of the Registration Statement
(the "Prospectus") entitled "Certain Connecticut Taxes", the assumptions set
forth therein are specifically incorporated herein.

entitled "Certain Connecticut Taxes," insofar as it relates to statements of law

     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an Exhibit to the

Connecticut Taxes" in the Prospectus.  In giving this consent, we do not thereby
admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under

willful misconduct or criminal acts in the performance of his duties to the 
Association: and, provided further, that no person shall be so indemnified or
reimbursed in relation to any matter in such action, suit, or proceeding which
has been made the subject of a compromise settlement except with the approval of
a court of competent jurisdiction, or the holders of record of a majority of the
outstanding shares of the Association, or the board of directors, acting by vote
of directors not parties to the same or substantially the same action, suit, or 
proceeding, constituting a majority of the whole number of directors. The 
foregoing right of indemnification or reimbursement shall not be exclusive of 
other rights to which such person, his heirs, executors, or administrators may 
be entitled as a matter of law.

The Association may, upon the affirmative vote of a majority of its board of 
directors, purchase insurance for the purpose of indemnifying its directors, 
officers and other employees to the extent that such indemnification is allowed 
in the preceding paragraph. Such insurance may, but need not, be for the benefit
of all directors, officers, or employees.

ELEVENTH. These articles of association may be amended at any regular or special
meeting of the shareholders by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority
of the stock of this Association, unless the vote of the holders of greater
amount of stock is required by law, and in that case by the vote of the holders
of such greater amount. The notice of any shareholders' meeting at which an
amendment to the articles of association of this Association is to be considered
shall be given as hereinabove set forth.

I hereby certify that the articles of association of this Association, in their 
entirety, are listed above in items first through eleventh.

Section 1.1. Annual Meeting. The regular annual meeting of the shareholders to
elect directors and transact whatever other business may properly come before
the meeting, shall be held at the main office of the association, city of 
Hartford, state of Connecticut or such other places as the board of directors 
may designate, at 1:00 o'clock, on the third Wednesday of April of each year, or
if that date falls on a legal holiday in the state in which the association is 
located, on the next following banking day. If, for any cause, an election of 
directors is not made on that date, or in the event of a legal holiday, on the 
next following banking day, an election may be held on any subsequent day within
60 days of the date fixed, to be designated by the board of directors, or, if 
the directors fail to fix the date, by shareholders representing two-thirds of 
the shares.

Section 1.2. Special Meetings. Except as otherwise specifically provided by 
statute, special meetings of the shareholders may be called for any purpose at 
any time by the board of directors or upon call of the Chairman or at the 
written request of shareholders owning, in the aggregate, not less than ten (10)
percent of the stock of the association.

Section 1.3. Notice of Meetings. Unless otherwise provided by the laws of the
United States, a notice of the time, place and purpose of every regular annual
meeting or special meeting of shareholders shall be given by first-class mail,
postage pre-paid, mailed at least ten (10) days prior to the date of such
meeting to each shareholder of record at his address as shown upon the books of
the association. If an annual or special shareholders' meeting is adjourned to
a different date, time, or place, notice need not be given of the new date, time
or place, if the new date, time or place is announced at the meeting before
adjournment, unless any additional items of business are to be considered, or
the association becomes aware of an intervening event materially affecting any
matter to be voted on more than 10 days prior to the date to which the meeting
is adjourned. If a new record date for the adjourned meeting is fixed, however,
notice of the adjourned meeting must be given to persons who are shareholders as
of the new record date.

Section 1.4. Proxies. Shareholders may vote at any meeting of the shareholders 
by proxies duly authorized in writing. Proxies shall be valid only for one

rubber-stamped facsimile signatures may be used and unexecuted proxies may be 
counted upon receipt of a confirming telegram from the shareholder. Proxies 
meeting the above requirements submitted at any time during a meeting shall be 
accepted.

Section 1.6.  Voting.  In deciding on questions at meetings of shareholders, 
except in the election of directors, each shareholder shall be entitled to one 
vote for each share of stock held. A majority of votes cast shall decide each

a larger vote is required.

limited by law, all corporate powers of the association shall be vested in and

at any regularly constituted meeting between annual meetings of the board of 
directors appoint honorary directors within the limitations imposed by this 
bylaw.

Section 2.6.  Vacancies.  Any vacancies occurring in the board of directors for

come before the meeting. Such meeting shall be held on the day of the election 
of directors or as soon thereafter as practicable, and, in any event, within 30 
days thereof. If, at the time fixed for such meeting, there shall not be a

a quorum is obtained.

Section 2.8.  Regular Meetings.  The regular meetings of the board of directors 
shall be held, without notice, at the main office, or at such other place as has

<PAGE>

board may appoint. The board shall designate the chairman thereof. The Executive

any member thereof. All action of said committee shall be reported to the board 
at the next regular board meeting thereafter. Four members of the Committee, of 
whom not less than three shall be directors who are not officers, shall be 
necessary to constitute a quorum.

Section 3.2.  Loan and Investment Committee.  The board of directors shall 
establish a loan and investment committee consisting of the chairman, the 
president, not less than four directors, not officers, who are appointed by the 
board, and such other directors as the board may appoint. The committee shall 
ensure that the association's credit and investment policies are adequate and

association's policies and with applicable laws and regulations. The committee 
shall exercise oversight and receive reports with respect to lending activities 
and credit risk management. The committee shall also exercise oversight and 
receive reports with respect to the association's securities portfolio and 
securities portfolio activities to ensure appropriate portfolio diversification,
asset quality, liquidity, and profitability. The committee shall also have 
oversight responsibilities with respect to the association's investment policy, 
liquidity policy, liquidity contingency planning and interest rate risk 
exposure. All action by the committee shall be reported to the board at the next
regular board meeting thereafter. Four members of the committee, of whom not 
less than two shall be directors who are not officers, shall be necessary to 
constitute a quorum. 

Section 3.3.  Trust Committee.  The board of directors shall establish a trust 
committee consisting of the president and not less than four directors, not 
officers, who are appointed by the board and such other directors as the board 
may appoint. The trust committee shall have authority, between meetings of the 
board, to discharge the responsibilities of the association with respect to the 
exercise of fiduciary powers, except as the board may by resolution or other 
appropriate action otherwise from time to time determine. All action by said 
committee shall be reported to the board at the next regular board meeting 
thereafter. Four members of the trust committee, of whom at least two shall be 
directors who are not officers, shall be necessary to constitute a quorum.

Section 3.4.  Audit Committee.  The audit committee of Shawmut National 
Corporation, no member of whom is an officer of the association, is designated 
to oversee the audit affairs of the association. Members of the association's 
board of directors, none of whom may be officers of the association, may serve 
on the audit committee of Shawmut National Corporation. In addition, the board 
may, from time to time, appoint an audit committee consisting of not less than 
four members of the board, no one of whom shall be an executive officer of the 
association, to perform such audit functions as may be assigned by the board.
The duty of the audit committee shall be to examine at least once during each
calendar year and within 15 months of the last examination of affairs of the
association or cause suitable examination to be made by auditors responsible
only to the board of directors and to report the result of such examination in
writing to the board at the next regular meeting

                                      -4-

thereafter.  Such report shall state whether the association is in a sound
condition, whether fiduciary powers have been administered according to law and
sound fiduciary principles, whether adequate internal controls and procedures
are being maintained, and shall recommend to the board of directors such
changes in the manner of conducting the affairs of the association as shall be
deemed advisable.

Section 3.5.  Community Affairs Committee.  The board of directors shall
establish a community affairs committee consisting of not less than four

contributions and other matters of business and community conduct, all as the
board or the chairman may from time to time specify or request.  All actions by
said committee shall be reported to the board at the next regular board meeting
thereafter.  Three members of the committee, of whom at least two shall be
directors who are not officers, shall be necessary to constitute a quorum.

Section 3.6.  Substitute Committee Members.  In the case of the absence of any
member of any committee of the board from any meeting of such committee, the
directors who are not officers and are present at such meeting, or the senior
officer present if no such directors are there, may designate a substitute to
serve in lieu of such absent member.  Such substitute need not be a director
unless such absent member is a director, but in any case when the board of
directors shall have designated one or more alternate members for such
committee, the substitute shall be selected from such of said alternates as are
then available.

Section 3.7.  Additional Committees.  The board of directors may by resolution
designate one or more additional committees, each consisting of two or more of
the directors.  Any such additional committee shall have and may exercise such
powers as the board may from time to time prescribe for furthering the business

1. Test for determining the extent to which Schedule RC-R must be completed.  To be completed             -----------    
   only by banks with total assets of less than $1 billion. Indicate in the appropriate                   | YES   NO | 
   box at the right whether the bank has total capital greater than or equal to               -----------------------

     For purposes of this test, adjusted total assets equals total assets less cash, U.S. 
   Treasuries, U.S. Government agency obligations, and 80 percent of U.S. Government-
   sponsored agency obligations plus the allowance for loan and lease losses and selected 
   off-balance sheet items as reported on Schedule RC-L (see instructions).
     If the box marked YES has been checked, then the bank only has to complete item 2 
   below. If the box marked NO has been checked, the bank must complete the remainder
   of this schedule.
     A NO response to item 1 does not necessarily mean that the bank's actual risk-based 
   capital ratio is less than eight percent or that the bank is not in compliance with the 
   risk-based capital guidelines.

              Optional Narrative Statement Concerning the Amounts          [35]
                Reported in the Reports of Condition and Income

                    at close of business on March 31, 1995

Shawnut Bank Connecticut, N.A.      Hartford,                   Connecticut
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Legal Title of Bank                 City                        State

The management of the reporting bank may, if it wishes, submit a brief narrative
statement on the amounts reported in the Reports of Condition and Income. This 
optional statement will be made available to the public, along with the publicly
available data in the Reports of Condition and Income, in response to any 
request for individual bank report data. However, the information reported in 
column A and in all of Memorandum item 1 of Schedule RC-N is regarded as 
confidential and will not be released to the public. BANKS CHOOSING TO SUBMIT 
THE NARRATIVE STATEMENT SHOULD ENSURE THAT THE STATEMENT DOES NOT CONTAIN THE 
NAMES OR OTHER IDENTIFICATIONS OF INDIVIDUAL BANK CUSTOMERS, REFERENCES TO THE 
AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE CONFIDENTIAL ITEMS IN SCHEDULE RC-N OR ANY OTHER 
INFORMATION THAT THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO HAVE MADE PUBLIC OR THAT WOULD 
COMPROMISE THE PRIVACY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. Banks choosing not to make a 
statement may check the "No comment" box below and should make no entries of any
kind in the space provided for the narrative statement; i.e., DO NOT enter in 
this space such phrases as "No statement," "Not applicable," "N/A," "No 
comment," and "None."

The optional statement must be entered on this sheet. The statement should not 
exceed 100 words. Further, regardless of the number of words, the statement must
not exceed 750 characters, including punctuation, indentation, and standard
spacing between words and sentences. If any submission should exceed 750
characters, as defined, it will be truncated at 750 characters with no notice to
the submitting bank and the truncated statement will appear as the bank's
statement both on agency computerized records and in computer-file releases to
the public.

All information furnished by the bank in the narrative statement must be 
accurate and not misleading. Appropriate efforts shall be taken by the 
submitting bank to ensure the statement's accuracy. The statement must be 
signed, in the space provided below, by a senior officer of the bank who thereby
attests to its accuracy.

If, subsequent to the original submission, material changes are submitted for 
the data reported in the Reports of Condition and Income, the existing narrative
statement will be deleted from the files and from disclosure; the bank, at its 
option, may replace it with a statement, under signature, appropriate to the 
amended data.

The optional narrative statement will appear in agency records and in release to
the public exactly as submitted (or amended as described in the preceding 
paragraph) by the management of the bank (except for the truncation of 
statements exceeding the 750-character limit described above). THE STATEMENT 
WILL NOT BE EDITED OR SCREENED IN ANY WAY BY THE SUPERVISORY AGENCIES FOR 
ACCURACY OR RELEVANCE. DISCLOSURE OF THE STATEMENT SHALL NOT SIGNIFY THAT ANY 
FEDERAL SUPERVISORY AGENCY HAS VERIFIED OR CONFIRMED THE ACCURACY OF THE 
INFORMATION CONTAINED THEREIN. A STATEMENT TO THIS EFFECT WILL APPEAR ON ANY 
PUBLIC RELEASE OF THE OPTIONAL STATEMENT SUBMITTED BY THE MANAGEMENT OF THE 
REPORTING BANK.
