2.                                           PAYMENT OF SECURED OBLIGATIONS.
Mortgagors shall promptly pay and perform all of the Secured Obligations when
due.

3.                                           OPEN-END MORTGAGE. This Agreement
is an Open-End Mortgage under Section 5301.232 of the Ohio Revised Code and is

Dollars ($475,000,000), together with interest thereon and such other amounts as

5.                                           FUNDS FOR TAXES, INSURANCE AND
OTHER CHARGES. Upon default in payment by Mortgagors of any of the following
described items, or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, as hereinafter
defined, Collateral Agent shall have the right, at Collateral Agent's option, to
require Mortgagors to pay to Collateral Agent on the first day of each month,
until the Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full, a sum (herein
"Funds") equal to one-twelfth of (a) the yearly water and sewer rates and taxes
and assessments that may be levied on the Property and (b) the yearly premium
installments for fire and other hazard insurance, rent loss insurance (if
applicable) and such other insurance covering the Property as Collateral Agent
may require pursuant to the Credit Agreement, all as reasonably estimated
initially and from time to time by Collateral Agent on the basis of assessments
and bills and reasonable estimates thereof. Any waiver by Collateral Agent of a
requirement that Mortgagors pay such Funds may be revoked by Collateral Agent,
in Collateral Agent's sole discretion, at any time upon notice in writing to
Mortgagors. Collateral Agent may require Mortgagors to pay to Collateral Agent,
in advance, such other Funds for other taxes, charges, premiums, assessments and
impositions in connection with Mortgagors or the Property that Collateral Agent
shall reasonably deem necessary to protect Collateral Agent's interests (herein
"Other Impositions"). Unless otherwise provided by applicable law, Collateral
Agent, at Collateral Agent's option, may require Funds for Other Impositions to
be paid by Mortgagors in a lump sum (not exceeding Other Impositions due for a
one-year period) or in periodic installments.

The Funds shall be held by Collateral Agent and shall be applied to pay such
rates, rents, taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and Other Impositions so
long as no Event of Default has occurred. Collateral Agent shall make no charge
for so holding and applying the Funds, analyzing such account or for verifying
and compiling said assessments and bills, unless Collateral Agent pays
Mortgagors interest, earnings or profits on the Funds and applicable law permits
Collateral Agent to make such a charge. Unless applicable law requires interest,
earnings or profits on the Funds to be paid, Collateral Agent shall not be
required to pay Mortgagors any interest, earnings or profits on the Funds.
Collateral Agent shall give to Mortgagors, without charge, an annual accounting
of the Funds showing credits and debits to the Funds and the purpose for which
each debit to such Funds was made. The Funds are pledged as additional security
for the Secured Obligations and shall be subject to the right of set off.

If the amount of the Funds held by Collateral Agent at the time of the annual
accounting thereof shall exceed the amount deemed necessary by Collateral Agent
to provide for the payment of water and sewer rates, taxes, assessments,
insurance premiums, rents and Other Impositions, as such payments become due,
Collateral Agent (in its sole discretion) may either (i) return the amount of
the excess to Mortgagors or (ii) apply a part or all of such excess at such time
or times as Collateral Agent may elect to the Secured Obligations. If, at any
time, the amount of the Funds held by Collateral Agent shall be less than the
amount deemed necessary by Collateral Agent to pay water and sewer rates, taxes,
assessments, insurance premiums, rents and Other Impositions, as such payments
become due, Mortgagors shall, on demand, pay such deficiency. Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, Collateral Agent may apply, in any amount and
in any order as Collateral Agent shall determine, in Collateral Agent's sole
discretion, any Funds held by Collateral Agent at the time of application (A) to
pay rates, rents, taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and Other Impositions
that are now or shall hereafter become due; or (B) as a credit against sums
secured by this Agreement. Upon release of this Agreement and payment in full of
the Secured Obligations, Collateral Agent shall promptly refund to Mortgagors
any Funds held by Collateral Agent.

6.                                           CHARGES; MECHANICS LIENS.
Mortgagors shall pay all water and sewer rates, rents, taxes assessments,
premiums, and Other Impositions (not being diligently contested by Mortgagors
(a) in a timely manner and (b) with the support of adequate financial reserves),
attributable to the Property. Mortgagors shall promptly discharge any lien that
has, or may have, priority over or equality with, the lien of this Agreement,
other than Permitted Encumbrances.

If a mechanic's lien is filed against the Property, Mortgagors shall promptly
notify Collateral Agent and, at Collateral Agent's request, shall deliver to
Collateral Agent, either of the following, at Mortgagors' option, (i) a cash
deposit or (ii) an indemnity bond satisfactory to Collateral Agent issued by a
surety satisfactory to Collateral Agent, in the amount claimed by any such lien,
together with an additional sum necessary to pay all costs, interest and
penalties that may be payable in connection therewith. Without Collateral
Agent's prior written consent, Mortgagors shall not allow any lien, encumbrance,
or other interest in the Property to be perfected against the Property, other
than Permitted Encumbrances, unless Mortgagors are then diligently contesting
same and has, as to the lien, encumbrance or interest being contested, complied
with (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence.

7.                                           PRESERVATION AND MAINTENANCE OF
PROPERTY. Mortgagors (a) shall not commit waste or permit impairment or
deterioration of the Property; (b) shall not abandon the Property; (c) shall,
unless Collateral Agent withholds insurance proceeds as security for or
application to the Secured Obligations as provided in the Credit Agreement,
restore or repair promptly and in a good and workmanlike manner all or any part
of the Property to the equivalent of its original condition, or such other
condition as Collateral Agent may approve in writing, in the event of any
damage, injury or loss thereto, whether or not insurance proceeds are available
to cover in whole or in part the costs of such restoration or repair unless the
improvements constituting the Property are (i) totally destroyed, (ii) insurance
has been maintained thereon as required by this Agreement, and (iii) Collateral
Agent applies the proceeds of such insurance to payment of the Secured
Obligations; (d) shall keep the Property, including improvements, fixtures,
equipment, machinery and appliances, in good repair and shall replace
improvements, fixtures, equipment, machinery and appliances on the Property
owned by Mortgagors when necessary to keep such items in good repair; (e) shall
comply in all material respects with all laws, ordinances, regulations and
requirements of any governmental body applicable to the Property, including,
without limitation, the American with Disabilities Act, as it may be amended
from time to time; and (f) shall give notice in writing to Collateral Agent of,
appear in and defend, any action or proceeding purporting to affect the
Property, the security of this Agreement or the rights or powers of Collateral
Agent, except for any such action or proceeding caused by the gross negligence
or intentional misconduct of Collateral Agent. Unless required by applicable law
or unless Collateral Agent has otherwise consented in writing, neither
Mortgagors nor any tenant or other Person shall remove, demolish or alter any
improvement now existing or hereafter erected on the Property or any fixture
(other than trade fixtures), equipment, machinery or appliance in or on the
Property owned by Mortgagors and used or intended to be used in connection with
the Property, except as permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

8.                                           USE OF PROPERTY. Unless required by
applicable law or unless Collateral Agent has otherwise agreed in writing,
Mortgagors shall not allow changes in the use for which all or any part of the
Property was intended at the time this Agreement was executed. Mortgagors shall
not initiate or acquiesce in a change in the zoning classification of the
Property without Collateral Agent's prior written consent.

9.                                           PROTECTION OF PROPERTY; AGENT'S
SECURITY. If Mortgagors fail to perform the covenants and agreements contained
in this Agreement, or if any action or proceeding is commenced that affects the
Property or title thereto or the interest of Collateral Agent therein,
including, but not limited to, eminent domain, insolvency, enforcement of local
laws, or arrangements or proceedings involving a bankrupt or decedent, then
Collateral Agent, at Collateral Agent's option, may make such appearances,
disburse such sums and take such action as Collateral Agent deems necessary, in
its sole discretion, to protect the interests of Collateral Agent and the
Secured Creditors, including, but not limited to, (a) disbursement of attorneys'
fees; (b) entry upon the Property to remedy any failure of Mortgagors to perform
hereunder; and (c) procurement of satisfactory insurance.

Any amounts disbursed by Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 9, with
interest thereon, shall become part of the Secured Obligations and shall be
secured by this Agreement. Unless Mortgagors and Collateral Agent agree in
writing to other terms of payment, such amounts shall be immediately due and
payable and shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at the Default
Rate, unless collection from Mortgagors of interest at such rate would be
contrary to applicable law, in which event such amounts shall bear interest at
the highest rate that may be collected from Mortgagors under applicable law.
Mortgagors hereby covenant and agree that Collateral Agent shall be subrogated
to the lien of any mortgage or other lien discharged, in whole or in part, by
the Secured Obligations. Nothing contained in this Section 9 shall require
Collateral Agent to incur any expense or take any action hereunder.

The procurement of insurance of the payment of taxes or other liens or charges
by Collateral Agent shall not be a waiver of the right of Collateral Agent or
the Lenders to accelerate the maturity of any of the Secured Obligations secured
by this Agreement. Collateral Agent's receipt of any awards, proceeds or damages
under the insurance or condemnation provisions of the Credit Agreement or this
Agreement shall not operate to cure or waive any default in payment of sums
secured by this Agreement.

10.                                       CONDEMNATION. Mortgagors shall
promptly notify Collateral Agent of any action or proceeding relating to any
condemnation or other taking, whether direct or indirect, of the Property, or
part thereof, and Mortgagors shall appear in and prosecute any such action or
proceeding unless otherwise directed by Collateral Agent in writing. Mortgagors
authorize Collateral Agent, at Collateral Agent's option, as attorney-in-fact
for Mortgagors, to commence, appear in and prosecute, after the occurrence of an
Event of Default, in Collateral Agent's or Mortgagors' name, any action or
proceeding relating to any condemnation or other taking of the Property, whether
direct or indirect, and to settle or compromise any claim in connection with
such condemnation or other taking. The proceeds of any award, payment or claim
for damages, direct or consequential, in connection with any condemnation or
other taking, whether direct or indirect, of the Property, or part thereof, or
for conveyances in lieu of condemnation, are hereby assigned to and shall be
paid to Collateral Agent.

With the consent of Collateral Agent, which consent may be withheld in
Collateral Agent's sole discretion, Mortgagors may apply such awards, payments,
proceeds or damages, after the deduction of Collateral Agent's expenses incurred
in the collection of such amounts, to restoration or repair of the Property.
Otherwise, such sums so received shall be applied to payment of the Secured
Obligations. Mortgagors agree to execute such further evidence of assignment of
any awards, proceeds, damages or claims arising in connection with such
condemnation or taking as Collateral Agent may reasonably require.

11.                                       ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Mortgagors
shall, within ten (10) days of a written request from Collateral Agent, furnish
Collateral Agent with a written statement, duly acknowledged, setting forth the

Agent's prior written approval. Unless otherwise directed by Collateral Agent,
all leases of the Property made after the date hereof shall specifically provide
that such leases are subordinate to this Agreement; that the tenant attorns to
Collateral Agent, such attornment to be effective upon Collateral Agent's
acquisition of title to the Property; that the tenant agrees to execute such
further evidences of attornment as Collateral Agent may from time to time
request; and that the attornment of the tenant shall not be terminated by
foreclosure. Mortgagors shall not, without Collateral Agent's written consent,
execute, modify, surrender or terminate, either orally or in writing, any lease
hereafter made of all or any part of the Property, permit an assignment or
sublease of such a lease, or request or consent to the subordination of any
lease of all or any part of the Property to any lien subordinate to this
Agreement, provided that such leases are on commercially reasonable terms. If
Mortgagors become aware that any tenant proposes to do, or is doing, any act or
thing that may give rise to any right to set-off against rent, Mortgagors shall
(a) take such steps as shall be reasonably calculated to prevent the accrual of
any right to a set-off against rent, (b) notify Collateral Agent thereof and of
the amount of said set-offs, and (c) within twenty (20) days after such accrual,
reimburse the tenant who shall have acquired such right to set-off or take such
other steps as shall effectively discharge such set-off and as shall assure that
rents thereafter due shall continue to be payable without set-off or deduction.

14.                                       REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Each remedy
provided in this Agreement is distinct and cumulative to all other rights or
remedies under this Agreement or the Credit Agreement or afforded by law or in
equity, and may be exercised concurrently, independently, or successively, in
any order whatsoever.

15.                                       TRANSFERS OF THE PROPERTY; CHANGES IN
CONTROL OR OWNERSHIP OF MORTGAGORS. Except as expressly permitted pursuant to
the Credit Agreement, Mortgagors shall not (a) voluntary or involuntary sell,
lease, exchange, assign, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any
portion of the Property (or any interest therein), or all or any of the
beneficial ownership interest in Mortgagors, or (b) convey to any Person, other
than Collateral Agent, a security interest in the Property or any part thereof
or voluntarily or involuntarily permit or suffer the Property to be further
encumbered.

16.                                       CREDIT AGREEMENT PROVISIONS.
Mortgagors agree to comply with the covenants and conditions of the Credit
Agreement that is hereby incorporated by reference in and made a part of this
Agreement. All sums disbursed by Collateral Agent to protect the security of
this Agreement shall be treated as Related Expenses, as defined in the Credit
Agreement. All such sums shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at
the Default Rate. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this
Agreement and the Credit Agreement, the terms of the Credit Agreement shall
control.

17.                                       NOTICE. Any notice given with respect
to this Agreement may be personally served or given in writing by depositing
such notice in the United States mail, first class postage prepaid, or by telex

18.                                       SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS BOUND;
COLLATERAL AGENTS; CAPTIONS. The covenants and agreements herein contained shall
bind, and the rights hereunder shall inure to, the respective successors and
permitted assigns of Collateral Agent, the Lenders and Mortgagors. In exercising
any rights hereunder or taking any actions provided for herein, Collateral Agent
may act through its employees, agents or independent contractors as authorized
by Collateral Agent. The captions and headings of the Sections of this Agreement
are for convenience only and are not to be used to interpret or define the
provisions hereof.

19.                                       GOVERNING LAW; SEVERABILITY. This
Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to
principles of conflicts of laws. In the event that any provision of this
Agreement conflicts with applicable law, such conflict shall not affect other
provisions of this Agreement that can be given effect without the conflicting
provisions, and to this end the provisions of this Agreement are declared to be
severable.

20.                                       WAIVER OF MARSHALING. In the event of
foreclosure of the lien of this Agreement, the Property may be sold in one or
more parcels or as an entirety as Collateral Agent may elect.

Notwithstanding the existence of any other security interests in the Property
held by Collateral Agent, or by any other Person, Collateral Agent shall have
the right to determine the order in which any or all of the Property shall be
subjected to the remedies provided herein. Collateral Agent shall have the right
to determine the order in which any or all of the Secured Obligations are
satisfied from the proceeds realized upon the exercise of the remedies provided
herein. Mortgagors, any Person that consents to this Agreement, and any Person
that now or hereafter acquires a security interest in the Property and that has
actual or constructive notice hereof, hereby waives any and all right to require
the marshaling of assets in connection with the exercise of any of the remedies
permitted by applicable law or provided herein.

21.                                       ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS; APPOINTMENT OF
RECEIVER; COLLATERAL AGENT IN POSSESSION. Mortgagors hereby absolutely and
unconditionally assign and transfer to Collateral Agent all of the leases, rents
and revenues of the Property, including those now due, past due, or to become
due by virtue of any lease or other agreement for the occupancy or use of all or
any part of the Property, regardless to whom the rents and revenues of the
Property are payable. Although this Agreement is a present assignment,
Collateral Agent shall not exercise any of the rights or powers herein conferred
upon it until an Event of Default shall have occurred. Mortgagors hereby
authorize Collateral Agent or Collateral Agent's agents to collect the aforesaid
rents and revenues and hereby directs each tenant of the Property to pay such
rents to Collateral Agent or Collateral Agent's agents. Upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default, and without the necessity of Collateral Agent entering upon
and taking and maintaining full control of the Property in person, by agent or
by a court appointed receiver, Collateral Agent shall immediately be entitled to
possession of all rents and revenues of the Property as specified in this
Section 21 as the same become due and payable (including but not limited to
rents then due and unpaid) and all such rents received by Mortgagors shall
immediately, upon delivery of such notice, be held by Mortgagors, as trustee for
the benefit of Collateral Agent only. This Section 21 may be supplemented by a
separate assignment of leases and rents agreement entered into by and between
Collateral Agent and Mortgagors, which instrument shall set forth more fully
Collateral Agent's rights with respect to the leases, rents and revenue of the
Property.

22.                                       ASSIGNMENT OF CONSTRUCTION RIGHTS.
From time to time, as Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect its interests,
Mortgagors shall, upon request of Collateral Agent, execute and deliver to
Collateral Agent, in such form as Collateral Agent shall direct, assignments of
any and all rights or claims that relate to the construction of improvements on
the Property and which Mortgagors may have against any Person supplying or who
has supplied labor, materials or services in connection with construction of the
Property.

23.                                       EVENT OF DEFAULT; ACCELERATION;
REMEDIES. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder,
(a) if any Event of Default, as defined in the Credit Agreement, occurs under
the Credit Agreement, or (b) if Mortgagors default in the performance or
observance of any of the covenants or agreements of Mortgagors contained in this
Agreement . In addition to any other right or remedy that Collateral Agent may
now or hereafter have at law or in equity, upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Collateral Agent shall have the right and power (i) to foreclose upon
this Agreement and the lien hereof; (ii) to sell the Property according to law
at one or more sales as an entirety or in parcels, if applicable, and at such
time and place upon such terms and conditions and after such notices thereof as
may be required by law; (iii) to enter upon and take possession of the Property;
and (iv) apply for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or
conservator of the Property, without notice and without regard for the adequacy
of the security for the Secured Obligations and without regard for the solvency
of Mortgagors, any Borrower or any Person liable for the payment of the Secured
Obligations, or any portion thereof. If all sums secured by this Agreement
become immediately due and payable in accordance with this Section, Collateral
Agent, at Collateral Agent's option, may foreclose this Agreement by judicial
proceeding and may invoke any other remedies permitted by applicable law or as
provided herein. Collateral Agent shall be entitled to collect all costs and
expenses incurred in pursuing such remedies, including, but not limited to,
costs of documentary evidence abstracts, title reports and attorneys' fees.

24.                                       APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS.

(a)                The Proceeds actually collected by the Collateral Agent as a
result of the exercise of any of the rights, powers and remedies of the
Collateral Agent herein granted, including by reason of foreclosure, shall be
applied as follows:

(i)                   First, to the payment or reimbursement of all Collateral
Agent Expenses, to the extent such costs and expenses have not been indefeasibly
paid or reimbursed by the Mortgagors;

(ii)                 Second, subject to Section 24(b) and until all Secured
Obligations owed to the Secured Creditors have been fully, finally, and
indefeasibly paid or performed, each Lender's Commitment has been terminated,
and the Letter of Facility Obligations have been reduced to zero, on a pari
passu basis without any preference or priority to the Noteholders or the
Lenders, to the Trustee, in an amount equal to the Noteholders' Percentage of
such Proceeds, and to the Administrative Agent, in an amount equal to the
Lenders' Percentage of such Proceeds, for distribution by the Trustee under the
Indenture Documents and by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents;

(iii)                Finally, to the relevant Mortgagor or such other Person or
Persons as shall be lawfully entitled thereto.

(b)                The amount of any Proceeds distributed to the Administrative
Agent on account of any Outstanding Letter of Credit Exposure shall be held by
the Administrative Agent and deposited by the Administrative Agent in a special
interest bearing account (the "Letter of Credit Reserve Account") under the sole
dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, and shall be applied and
distributed to the appropriate Issuer of the applicable Letter of Credit if and
to the extent that such Letter of Credit is honored. If such Letter of Credit is
not drawn upon, or is not fully drawn upon, the balance of the funds in the
Letter of Credit Reserve Account attributable to such Letter of Credit shall be
distributed to the Secured Creditors pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 24(a)
hereof.

(c)                Notwithstanding Section 24(a),

(i)                   if any payment by the Collateral Agent to a Secured
Creditor pursuant to Section 24(a) would cause any amount recovered by the
Collateral Agent from or in respect of the Property to be invalidated, declared
fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid, returned or
restored to a trustee, receiver, or any other Person under any bankruptcy,
reorganization, insolvency, or liquidation statute, state or federal law, common
law or equitable cause (an "Avoided Payment"), such Secured Creditor shall not
participate in the distribution of any portion of the Avoided Payment; instead
the Avoided Payment shall be distributable to the Trustee and Administrative
Agent pro rata in accordance with Section 24(a)(ii), for the benefit of the
remaining Secured Creditors as to whom no such repayment, return or restoration
would be applicable;

(ii)                 the Collateral Agent may condition a payment to the Trustee
or the Administrative Agent on behalf of a Secured Creditor pursuant to Section
24(a) on the specific condition that, in the event such amount is subsequently
determined to be an Avoided Payment, such Secured Creditor will be required,
upon written demand, to return promptly to the Collateral Agent all or its
ratable part, as the case may be, of the Avoided Payment (and any interest
thereon to the extent the same is required to be paid in respect of the return
or restoration of the Avoided Payment), for distribution pro rata in accordance
with Section 24(a)(ii) to the remaining Secured Creditors as to whom no such
repayment, return or restoration would be applicable, or to the applicable
obligor, as the case may be; and

(iii)                the Collateral Agent, in making any payments to the Trustee
and the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Creditors under Section
24(a), may require the Secured Creditors to agree that if any amounts are not
distributed to a particular Secured Creditor pursuant to clause (i) above or are
returned by a Secured Creditor under clause (ii) above, the Secured Creditors
will make such adjustments or arrangements among themselves, whether by
purchasing undivided interests in the Secured Obligations or otherwise, in order
to equitably adjust for any non-pro rata distribution under clause (i) above
and/or the return of all or part of any payment or amount under clause (ii)
above, and to give effect to the intended equal and ratable benefits of this
Agreement as security for the Secured Obligations.

(d)                All payments required to be made to (i) the Lenders hereunder
shall be made to the Administrative Agent on behalf of and for the account of
the respective Lenders, and (ii) the Noteholders hereunder shall be made to the
Trustee on behalf of and for the account of the Noteholders.

(e)                For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with
this Section 24, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon (i) the
Administrative Agent for a determination (which the Administrative Agent agrees
to provide upon request by the Collateral Agent) of the outstanding Facility
Principal Obligations, and (ii) the Trustee for determinations of the
outstanding Indenture Principal Obligations owed to the Noteholders.

(f)                  It is understood and agreed that each Mortgagor shall
remain liable to the extent of any deficiency between (i) the amount of the
proceeds of the Property applied pursuant to Section 24(a) and (ii) the
aggregate outstanding amount of the Secured Obligations.

25.                                       INDEMNIFICATION. Mortgagors shall
protect, indemnify and save harmless Collateral Agent and the Lenders from and
against all liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses, including those incurred in connection with
appellate, bankruptcy and post-judgment proceedings) imposed upon or incurred by
or asserted against Collateral Agent or any Lender, and not caused by the gross
negligence or intentional misconduct of Collateral Agent or such Lender, by
reason of (a) ownership of this Agreement, the Property or any interest therein
or receipt of any rents, (b) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss
of or damage to property occurring in, on or about the Property or any part
thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent
parking areas or streets, (c) any use, non- use or condition in, on or about the
Property, or any part thereof, or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent
property, parking areas or streets, (d) any failure on the part of Mortgagors to
perform or comply with any of the terms of this Agreement, or (e) the
performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other
property in respect of the Property or any part thereof. The obligations of
Mortgagors under this Section 24 shall survive any termination or satisfaction
of this Agreement.

26.                                       HAZARDOUS WASTE COVENANTS AND
INDEMNIFICATION.

(a)                Mortgagors covenants and warrants that Mortgagors' use of the
Property shall at all times comply with and conform, in all material respects,
to all laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations of any governmental,
quasi-governmental or regulatory authority now or hereafter in effect ("Laws")
which relate to the transportation, storage, placement, handling, treatment,
discharge, release, generation, production or disposal (collectively
"Treatment") of any waste, waste products, petroleum or petroleum based
products, radioactive materials, poly-chlorinated biphenyls, asbestos, hazardous
materials or substances of any kind, pollutants, contaminants and any substance
which is regulated by any law, statute, ordinance, rule or regulation
(collectively "Waste"). Mortgagors further covenant that they shall not engage
in or permit any Person to engage in any Treatment of any Waste on or that
affects the Property except for activities which comply with all Laws in all
material respects.

(b)                Except as specifically disclosed to Collateral Agent in
writing in any schedule to the Credit Agreement, Mortgagors have no actual
knowledge that the Property is the subject of any Notice, as hereinafter
defined, from any governmental authority or Person.

(c)                Promptly upon receipt of any Notice from any Person,
Mortgagors shall deliver to Collateral Agent a true, correct and complete copy
of any written Notice or a true, correct and complete report of any non-written
Notice. Additionally, Mortgagors shall notify Collateral Agent immediately after
having knowledge or Notice of any Waste in or affecting the Property. "Notice"
shall mean any note, notice, information, or report of any of the following:

(i)                   any suit, proceeding, investigation, order, consent order,
injunction, writ, award or action related to or affecting or indicating the
Treatment of any Waste in or affecting the Property;

(ii)                 any spill, contamination, discharge, leakage, release,
threatened release, or escape of any Waste in or affecting the Property, whether
sudden or gradual, accidental or anticipated, or of any other nature ("Spill");

(iii)                any dispute relating to Mortgagors' or any other Person's
Treatment of any Waste or any Spill in or affecting the Property;

(iv)               any claims by or against any insurer related to or arising
out of any Waste or Spill in or affecting the Property;

(v)                 any recommendations or requirements of any governmental or
regulatory authority, insurer or board of underwriters relating to any Treatment
of Waste or a Spill in or affecting the Property;

(vi)               any legal requirement or deficiency related to the Treatment
of Waste or any Spill in or affecting the Property; or

(vii)              any tenant, licensee, concessionaire, manager, or other
Person occupying or using the Property or any part thereof which has engaged in
or engages in the Treatment of any Waste in or affecting the Property in
violation of applicable Laws.

(d)                In the event that (i) Mortgagors have caused, suffered or
permitted, directly or indirectly, any Spill in or affecting the Property during
the term of this Agreement, or (ii) any Spill of any Waste has occurred on the
Property during the term of this Agreement, then Mortgagors shall immediately
take all of the following actions:

(A)               notify Collateral Agent, as provided herein;

(B)               take all steps necessary or appropriate to clean up such Spill
and any contamination related to the Spill, all in accordance with the
requirements, rules or regulations of any local, state or federal governmental
or regulatory authority or agency having jurisdiction over the Spill; provided
that Mortgagors may contest any such requirement, rule or regulation by
appropriate proceedings diligently and in good faith, so long as (1) Mortgagors
provide Collateral Agent, at Mortgagors' cost, such sureties, performance bonds
and other assurances as Collateral Agent may from time to time request in
respect of such Spill and contamination and the cleanup thereof, (2) any
governmental or other action against Mortgagors and the Property is effectively
stayed during Mortgagors' efforts so to contest, and (3) in Collateral Agent's
determination, a delay in such clean-up will not result in or increase any loss
or liability to Collateral Agent;

(C)               restore the Property, provided that such restoration shall be
no less than, but need not be more than, what is otherwise required by
applicable federal, state or local law or authorities;

(D)               allow any local, state or federal governmental or regulatory
authority or agency having jurisdiction thereof to monitor and inspect all
cleanup and restoration related to such Spill; and

(E)                at the written request of Collateral Agent, post a bond or
obtain a letter of credit for the benefit of Collateral Agent (drawn upon a
company or bank satisfactory to Collateral Agent) or deposit an amount of money
in an escrow account under Collateral Agent's name upon which bond, letter of
credit or escrow Mortgagors may draw, and which bond, letter of credit or escrow
shall be in an amount sufficient to meet all of Mortgagors' obligations under
this Section 25; and Collateral Agent shall have the unfettered right to draw
against the bond, letter of credit or escrow in its discretion in the event that
Mortgagors are unable or unwilling to meet their obligation under this Section
25 or, if Mortgagors fail to post a bond or obtain a letter of credit or deposit
such cash as is required herein, then Collateral Agent, at Mortgagors' cost and
expense, may, but shall have no obligation to do so for the benefit of
Mortgagors and do those things that Mortgagors are required to do under clauses
(B), (C) and (D) of this subsection (d).

(e)                Mortgagors hereby agree that they shall indemnify, defend,
save and hold harmless Collateral Agent and the Secured Creditors and their
respective officers, directors employees, agents, successors, assigns and
affiliates (collectively, "Indemnified Parties") against and from, and to
reimburse the Indemnified Parties with respect to, any and all damages, claims,
liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys', engineers' and consultants' fees and expenses, court
costs, administrative costs, costs of appeals and all clean up, administrative,
fines, penalties and enforcement costs of applicable governmental agencies) that
are incurred by or asserted against the Indemnified Parties by reason or arising
out of: (i) the breach of any representation, warranty or undertaking of
Mortgagors under this Section 25, or (ii) the Treatment of any Waste by
Mortgagors or any tenant, licensee, concessionaire, manager, or other Person
occupying or using the Property, in or affecting the Property, or (iii) any
Spill governed by the terms of this Section 25.

(f)                  The obligations of Mortgagors under this Section 25 shall
survive any termination or satisfaction of this Agreement.

Agent, at Collateral Agent's option, is authorized and empowered to do all
things provided to be done by a mortgagee under Section 1311.14 of the Revised

28.                                       JURY TRIAL WAIVER. MORTGAGORS,
COLLATERAL AGENT AND THE LENDERS WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN
RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, AMONG
THEM ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE
RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
NOTE OR OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN
CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO. THIS WAIVER SHALL NOT
