            4. Use of Leased Premises; Quiet Enjoyment.

                  (a) The Leased Premises may be used and occupied for any
lawful purpose subject to the terms and conditions of this Paragraph 4. No
Related Premises shall be used or occupied, nor shall Tenant or any assignee or
subtenant do or permit anything to be done in or on either Related Premises
leased by such Person in a manner which would (i) violate any Law, Legal
Requirement or Permitted Encumbrance, the violation of which could reasonably be
anticipated to adversely affect the ability to use, maintain or occupy the

or impair the value of either Related Premises in any material respect, (iv)
materially increase the risk of environmental damage, an Environmental Violation
or danger to human health or the environment relative to the risk arising from
the use of the applicable Related Premises as of the date hereof, or (v)

relative to the wear and tear arising from the use of the applicable Related
Premises as of the date hereof.

                  (b) Subject to the provisions hereof, so long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, Tenant shall quietly hold, occupy and
enjoy the Leased Premises throughout the Term, without any hindrance, ejection
or molestation by Landlord with respect to matters that arise after the date
hereof, provided that Landlord or its agents may after reasonable notice to
Tenant, and, except as provided in Paragraph 10, at Landlord's sole expense
unless an Event of Default exists, but in any event not less than (2) Business
Days notice (except in the case of any emergency, in which event only advance
telephonic notice shall be required) enter upon and examine any of the Leased
Premises at such reasonable times during normal business hours as Landlord may
request (but not more often than twice each Lease Year or at any time during the
existence of an Event of Default) for the purpose of inspecting the Leased
Premises, verifying compliance or non-compliance by Tenant with its obligations
hereunder and the existence or non-existence of an Event of Default or event
which with the passage of time and/or notice would constitute an Event of
Default, subject to such reasonable restrictions as Tenant may impose, showing
the Leased Premises (or the applicable Related Premises) to prospective Lenders
and purchasers and taking such other action with respect to the Leased Premises
as is permitted by any provision hereof.

                  (c) In no event shall any portion of the Leased Premises be

the rear of any building and garbage disposal in the ordinary course of

            5. Term.

                  (a) Subject to the provisions hereof, Tenant shall have and
hold the Leased Premises for an initial term (such term, as extended or renewed
in accordance with the provisions hereof, being called the "Term") commencing on
the date hereof (the "Commencement Date") and ending on December 31, 2022 (the
"Expiration Date").

                  (b) Tenant shall have the option to extend the initial twenty
(20) year Term as to the entire Leased Premises or either Related Premises for
up to two periods of, a first renewal term of nine years and eleven months and a
second renewal term of ten (10) years (each, a "Renewal Term") beginning,
respectively, on the day after the Expiration Date and the day after the date
that is nine years and eleven months after the Expiration Date (each, a "Renewal
Date"). Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of its election to exercise the
applicable option as to either Related Premises no later than twelve (12) months
prior to the applicable Renewal Date, provided that the time within which Tenant
is obligated to give notice of the exercise of its option with respect to the
second Renewal Term for any applicable Related Premises shall be extended to the
date which is 10 days after Fair Market Rent is determined for such Related
Premises unless the delay in the determination thereof was caused by Tenant. The
annual Basic Rent for the first Renewal Term shall be the amount set forth on
Exhibit "D" (adjusted to reflect either Related Premises no longer included in
the Leased Premises during the first Renewal Term). The annual Basic Rent for
the second Renewal Term shall be the sum of the annual Fair Market Rent for each
applicable Related Premises during the second Renewal Term. All of the
provisions of this Lease, as the same may be amended, supplemented or modified
shall apply during each Renewal Term (except that Tenant shall not have the
right to any additional Renewal Terms). "Fair Market Rent" as used herein shall
mean an amount of annual rent for the Related Premises for the second Renewal
Term equivalent to the then-current fair market rate of annual effective net
rentals received in the general market area in which the applicable Related
Premises is located pursuant to an absolute net lease, for a similar lease term
with respect to real property having comparable characteristics, including, but
not limited to, age, location, condition and classification of the Improvements,
existing parking facilities and for tenants with a financial condition similar
to the then current financial condition of Tenant. The rental rate or other
terms of any then existing sublease or subleases of the applicable Related
Premises shall not be considered in establishing Fair Market Rent. In order to
exercise its option to extend the Term for the second Renewal Term, Tenant shall
first give Landlord written notice of Tenant's interest in doing so and
requesting the determination of the Fair Market Rent for each applicable Related
Premises for the second Renewal Term ("Tenant's Interest Notice"). Tenant's
Interest Notice shall be given not earlier than eighteen (18) months prior to
the Renewal Date for the second Renewal Term, and not later than fifteen (15)
months prior to the Renewal Date for the second Renewal Term. The latest date
upon which Tenant may give the Tenant's Interest Notice is referred to as the
"Interest Deadline Date." The Fair Market Rent for the second Renewal Term shall
be separately determined in accordance with the following procedure. The parties
shall first attempt to agree on the Fair Market Rent for the second Renewal
Term. If the parties do not agree on the Fair Market Rent within fifteen (15)
days following the receipt by Landlord of Tenant's Interest Notice then, within
ten (10) days after the expiration of such fifteen (15)-day period, the parties
shall attempt to agree upon an appraiser. If the parties agree upon an
appraiser, the appraiser so selected shall determine the Fair Market Rent within
thirty (30) days after selection. If the parties fail to so agree upon the
selection of one such appraiser within such


                                       13
<PAGE>
ten (10)-day period, then Tenant and Landlord shall each designate in a written
notice to the other, within fifteen (15) Business Days from the end of such ten
(10)-day period, one appraiser to determine the Fair Market Rent. In the event
either party fails to so select its own appraiser, the appraiser selected by the
other party shall determine Fair Market Rent. If two appraisers are so selected,
each appraiser shall independently determine the Fair Market Rent for such
Related Premises and complete and forward to Landlord and Tenant its separate
appraisal report within thirty (30) days after the expiration of such fifteen
(15)-business day period. Any appraisal report not so forwarded within such time
period shall be excluded. If only one such report is timely forwarded, then the
appraisal set forth therein shall be the Fair Market Rent. In the event the two
reports are both timely forwarded and the lower appraisal is at least ninety
percent (90%) of the higher appraisal, then the arithmetic mean of the two
appraisals shall be the Fair Market Rent. In the event the lower appraisal is
less than ninety percent (90%) of the higher appraisal then, within fifteen (15)
business days after the end of such thirty (30)-day period, the two appraisers
shall meet and select a third appraiser. In the event the two appraisers fail to
so select a third appraiser, either party may obtain court appointment of such
third appraiser. The third appraiser shall select one of the appraisals for each
applicable Related Premises as most accurately determining Fair Market Rent for
such Related Premises and promptly complete and forward its report to Landlord
and Tenant. The Fair Market Rent determined in such selected appraisal shall be
the Fair Market Rent for such Related Premises. All appraisers shall be members
in good standing of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers or any
organization succeeding thereto and shall have had not less than ten (10) years
experience with commercial real estate of the type of such Related Premises in
the location where such Related Premises is located. Tenant shall pay the fees
of all appraisers.

                  (c) If Tenant does not exercise its option pursuant to
Paragraph 5(b) to have the Term extended with respect to a Related Premises, or
if an Event of Default occurs, then Landlord shall have the right during the
remainder of the Term then in effect and, in any event, Landlord shall have the
right during the last year of the Term, to (i) advertise the availability of any
of the Leased Premises, or in the event that the Term is not extended with
respect to such Related Premises, for sale or reletting and to erect upon any of
the Leased Premises signs (in size and content and in locations reasonably
acceptable to Tenant) indicating such availability and (ii) show any of the
Leased Premises, or the applicable Related Premises in the event that the Term
is not extended with respect to such Related Premises, to prospective purchasers
or tenants or their agents at such reasonable times as Landlord may select.

            6. Basic Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as annual rent for the
Leased Premises during the Term, the amounts determined in accordance with
Exhibit "D" hereto ("Basic Rent"), commencing on the twentieth (20th) day of
January, 2003, and continuing on the twentieth (20th) day of each April, July,
October, January thereafter during the Term, provided that if the twentieth
(20th) day of such month is not a Business Day, the applicable Basic Rent
payment shall be due on the first Business Day following the twentieth (20th)
day of such month (each such day being a "Basic Rent Payment Date"). Tenant
shall pay Basic Rent for the period from the Commencement Date through January
19, 2003 on the Commencement Date. Each such rental payment shall be made in
Federal Funds to Landlord, pursuant to wire transfer instructions delivered to
Tenant from time to time or to such other Person, pursuant to wire transfer
instructions delivered to Tenant from time to time as Landlord may direct by not
less


                                       14
<PAGE>
than fifteen (15) days' prior written notice to Tenant (in which event Tenant
shall give Landlord notice of each such payment promptly upon the making
thereof).

            7. Additional Rent.

                  (a) Tenant shall pay and discharge, as additional rent
(collectively, "Additional Rent"):

                        (i) except as otherwise specifically provided herein,

of the Leased Premises, (E) the prosecution, defense or settlement of any
litigation involving or arising from any of the Leased Premises (unless caused
by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents), this
Lease, or the sale of the Leased Premises to Landlord provided, however, that in
the event of any litigation involving only Landlord and Tenant, Tenant shall be
responsible for such costs and expenses only if and to the extent that Tenant is
not the prevailing party in such litigation, (F) the exercise or successful
enforcement by Landlord, its successors and assigns, of any of its rights under
this Lease, (G) any amendment to or modification or termination of this Lease
made at the request of Tenant, (H) Costs of Landlord's counsel and reasonable
out-of-pocket Costs of Landlord incurred in connection with the preparation,
negotiation and execution of this Lease, or incurred in connection with any act
undertaken by Landlord (or its counsel) at the request of Tenant, or incurred in
connection with any act of Landlord performed on behalf of Tenant to the extent
authorized by this Lease (I) the reasonable out-of-pocket Costs of Landlord
incurred in connection with any act undertaken by Landlord at the request of
Tenant or Tenant's failure to act promptly in an emergency situation, (J) all
costs and fees associated with the wire transfers of Rent payments, and (K) any
other items specifically required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease;

                        (ii) after the date all or any portion of any
installment of Basic Rent is due and not paid by the applicable Basic Rent
Payment Date, an amount (the "Late Charge") equal to five percent (5%) of the
amount of such unpaid installment or portion thereof provided, however, that
with respect to the first late payment of all or any portion of any installment
of Basic Rent in any Lease Year, the Late Charge shall not be due and payable
unless the Basic Rent has not been paid within five (5) days' following the due
date thereof;

                        (iii) interest at the rate (the "Default Rate") of four
percent (4%) over the Prime Rate per annum on the following sums until paid in
full: (A) all overdue installments of Basic Rent from five (5) days' following
its due date unless such overdue installments are paid in full within such five
(5) day period, (B) all overdue amounts of Additional Rent relating to
obligations which Landlord shall have paid on behalf of Tenant, from the date of
payment thereof by Landlord, and (C) all other overdue amounts of Additional
Rent, from the date when any such amount becomes overdue;


                                       15
<PAGE>
                  (b) If Landlord does not provide written notice to Tenant of
the sums owing pursuant to Paragraphs 7(a)(ii) and (iii) within ninety (90) days
after the date that the applicable Late Charge or default interest becomes due
and owing, Tenant shall not be liable for such amounts.

                  (c) Tenant shall pay and discharge (i) any Additional Rent
referred to in Paragraph 7(a)(i) when the same shall become due, provided that
amounts which are billed to Landlord or any third party, but not to Tenant,
shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days after Landlord's demand for payment
thereof, and (ii) any other Additional Rent, within ten (10) Business Days after
Landlord's demand for payment thereof.

                  (d) In no event shall amounts payable under Paragraph 7(a)(ii)
and (iii) exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable Law.

            8. Net Lease: Non-Terminability.

Tenant, even though such obligation results in a double payment of Rent. All
Rent payable by Tenant hereunder shall constitute "rent" for all purposes
(including Section 502(b)(6) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code).

                  (d) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Tenant

and all other public charges whether of a like or different nature, even if
unforeseen or extraordinary, imposed upon or assessed against (i) Tenant, (ii)
Tenant's possessory interest in the Leased Premises, (iii) any of the Leased
Premises, (iv) Landlord as a result of or arising in respect of the acquisition,

document evidencing or securing a Loan and which (as to this clause (v))

nothing herein shall obligate Tenant to pay (A) income, excess profits or other
taxes of Landlord (or Lender) which are determined on the basis of Landlord's
(or Lender's) net income or net worth (unless such taxes are in lieu of or a
substitute for any other tax, assessment or other charge upon or with respect to

under the provisions hereof or by the terms of such tax, assessment or other
charge), (B) any estate, inheritance, succession, gift or similar tax imposed on

such event, Tenant shall be liable only for those installments which accrue or
become due and payable during the Term. Tenant shall prepare and file all tax
reports required by governmental authorities which relate to the Impositions.
Tenant shall deliver to Landlord (1) copies of all settlements and notices
pertaining to the Impositions which may be issued by any governmental authority
within ten (10) days after Tenant's receipt thereof, (2) receipts for payment of
all taxes required to be paid by Tenant hereunder within thirty (30) days after
the due date thereof and (3) receipts for payment of all other Impositions
within ten (10) days after Landlord's request therefor.

                  (b) Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord such amounts (each an "Escrow Payment") monthly or
quarterly, at the option of Landlord (but not more often than monthly), so that
there shall be in an escrow account an amount sufficient to pay the Escrow
Charges (as hereinafter defined) as they become due provided, however, that each
Escrow Payment shall not be greater than one twelfth (in the case of monthly
payments) or one quarter (in the case of quarterly payments) of the annual
amount of the annual Escrow Charges as estimated by Landlord. As used herein,
"Escrow Charges" shall mean real estate taxes and assessments on or with respect
to the Leased Premises or payments in lieu thereof and premiums on any insurance
required by this Lease. Landlord shall reasonably determine the amount of the
Escrow Charges (it being agreed that if required by a Lender, such amount shall
equal any corresponding escrow installments required to be paid by Landlord) and
the amount of each Escrow Payment, taking into account any balance remaining in
escrow at the beginning of each Lease Year. The Escrow Payments may not be
commingled with other funds of Landlord or other Persons. Landlord shall apply
the Escrow Payments to the payment of the Escrow Charges in such order or
priority as they become due or as required by law. If at any time the Escrow
Payments theretofore paid to Landlord shall be insufficient for the payment of
the Escrow Charges, Tenant, within ten (10) Business Days after Landlord's
demand therefor, shall pay the amount of the deficiency to Landlord. At the end
of the Term any Escrow Payments held by Landlord or Lender which are applicable
to any period after the expiration of the Term or the termination of this Lease
shall be promptly refunded to Tenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Paragraph 9(b), payment of Escrow Charges shall be required


                                       17
<PAGE>
only for six (6) months following the date on which the Event of Default which
gave rise to the requirement to make Escrow Payments is cured, provided,
however, that if a third Event of Default occurs, Landlord shall have the right
to require Tenant to pay and Tenant shall pay such Escrow Charges for the
balance of the Term.

            10. Compliance with Laws and Easement Agreements; Environmental
Matters.

                  (a) Tenant shall, at its expense, cause the Leased Premises
and any other Person occupying any part of the Leased Premises to comply with
and conform to, all Insurance Requirements and Legal Requirements (including all
applicable Environmental Laws). Tenant shall not at any time (i) cause, permit
or suffer to occur any Environmental Violation, (ii) permit any sublessee,
assignee or other Person occupying the Leased Premises under or through Tenant
to cause, permit or suffer to occur any Environmental Violation and, at the
request of Landlord or Lender, Tenant shall promptly remediate or undertake any
other appropriate response action to correct any existing Environmental
Violation, and (iii) without the prior written consent of Landlord and Lender,
permit any drilling or exploration for or extraction, removal, or production of
any minerals from the surface or the subsurface of the Land, regardless of the
depth thereof or the method of mining or extraction thereof. Any and all reports
prepared for or by Landlord with respect to the Leased Premises shall be for the
sole benefit of Landlord and Lender and no other Person shall have the right to
rely on any such reports.

                  (b) Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, will at all times
promptly and faithfully abide by, discharge and perform all of the covenants,
conditions and agreements contained in any Easement Agreement on the part of
Landlord or the occupier to be kept and performed thereunder. Tenant will not
alter, modify, amend or terminate any Easement Agreement, give any consent or
approval thereunder, or enter into any new Easement Agreement unless (i)
Landlord gives its written consent, (ii) such alteration, modification,
amendment or termination does not reduce the value of the applicable Related
Premises or impair its use, and (iii) Tenant delivers to Landlord and Lender, at
Tenant's sole expense, a title endorsements satisfactory to Landlord and Lender
with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord's consent shall be
deemed given if Landlord fails to object in writing (stating its reasons for
objecting) to such amendment or termination within thirty (30) days after
Landlord's receipt of written request for consent so long as Tenant's request
for consent is conspicuously marked in all capitals on both the outside of the
package and within such correspondence with the notation "THIS REQUEST FOR
CONSENT SHALL BE DEEMED GRANTED UNLESS RESPONDED TO WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF
RECEIPT".

                  (c) Upon prior written notice from Landlord, Tenant shall
permit such persons as Landlord may designate ("Site Reviewers") to visit the
Leased Premises and perform, as agents of Tenant, environmental site
investigations and assessments ("Site Assessments") on the Leased Premises (i)
in connection with any sale, financing or refinancing of the Leased Premises,
(ii) within the six month period prior to the expiration of the Term with
respect to a Related Premises, (iii) if required by Lender or the terms of any
credit facility to which Landlord is bound, (iv) if an Event of Default exists,
or (v) at any other time that, in the opinion of Landlord or Lender, a
reasonable basis exists to believe that an Environmental Violation or any
condition that could reasonably be expected to result in any Environmental
Violation exists.


                                       18
<PAGE>
Such Site Assessments shall not include any invasive testing (i.e. testing
requiring boring, digging, demolition or similar activities) unless Landlord has
a reasonable belief that an Environmental Violation exists. Tenant shall supply
to the Site Reviewers such historical and operational information regarding the
Leased Premises as may be reasonably requested by the Site Reviewers to
facilitate the Site Assessments, and shall make available for meetings with the
Site Reviewers appropriate personnel having knowledge of such matters. The cost
of performing and reporting Site Assessments shall be paid by Tenant if an
Environmental Violation is disclosed by such Site Assessment. In all other
events, the cost of performing and reporting such Site Assessments shall be paid
for by Landlord.

                  (d) If Tenant fails to promptly commence to comply with, and
thereafter diligently pursue compliance with, any requirement of any
Environmental Law in connection with any Environmental Violation which occurs or
is found to exist, Landlord shall have the right (but no obligation) to take any
and all actions as Landlord shall deem necessary or advisable in order to cure
such Environmental Violation provided that, except in the case of an emergency,
Landlord shall provide Tenant at least ten (10) days written notice prior to the
commencement of any such remediation by Landlord.

                  (e) Tenant shall notify Landlord promptly after becoming aware
of any Environmental Violation (or alleged Environmental Violation) or
noncompliance with any of the covenants contained in this Paragraph 10 and shall
forward to Landlord promptly upon receipt thereof copies of all orders, reports,
notices, permits, applications or other communications relating to any such
violation or noncompliance.

                  (f) All future leases, subleases or concession agreements
relating to the Leased Premises entered into by Tenant shall contain covenants
of the other party thereto which are identical to the covenants contained in
Paragraph 10(a).

            11. Liens; Recording.

                  (a) Subject to Paragraph 14 hereof, Tenant shall not, directly
or indirectly, create or permit to be created or to remain and shall promptly
discharge or remove any lien, levy or encumbrance on any of the Leased Premises
or on any Rent or any other sums payable by Tenant under this Lease, other than
any Mortgage or Assignment, the Permitted Encumbrances and any mortgage, lien,
encumbrance or other charge created by or resulting solely from any act or
omission of Landlord. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT LANDLORD SHALL NOT BE LIABLE
FOR ANY LABOR, SERVICES OR MATERIALS FURNISHED OR TO BE FURNISHED TO TENANT OR
TO ANYONE HOLDING OR OCCUPYING ANY OF THE LEASED PREMISES THROUGH OR UNDER
TENANT, AND THAT NO MECHANICS' OR OTHER LIENS FOR ANY SUCH LABOR, SERVICES OR
MATERIALS SHALL ATTACH TO OR AFFECT THE INTEREST OF LANDLORD IN AND TO ANY OF
THE LEASED PREMISES. TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY LAW, LANDLORD MAY AT ANY TIME
POST ANY NOTICES ON THE LEASED PREMISES REGARDING SUCH NON-LIABILITY OF
LANDLORD.

                  (b) Tenant shall execute, deliver and record, file or register
(collectively, "record") all such instruments as may be required by any present
or future Law in


                                       19
<PAGE>
order to evidence the respective interests of Landlord and Tenant in any of the
Leased Premises, and shall cause a memorandum of this Lease (or, if such a
memorandum cannot be recorded, this Lease), and any supplement hereto or
thereto, to be recorded in such manner and in such places as may be required by
any present or future Law in order to protect the validity and priority of this
Lease.

            12. Maintenance and Repair.

                  (a) Tenant shall at all times maintain each Related Premises
and the Adjoining Property in as good repair and appearance as each is in on the
date hereof and fit to be used for their intended use in accordance with the
better of the practices generally recognized as then acceptable by other
companies in its industry or observed by Tenant with respect to the other real
properties owned or operated by it, and, in the case of the Fixtures, in as good
mechanical condition as it was on the later of the date hereof or the date of
its installation, except for ordinary wear and tear and, subject to Paragraph
17, damage by Casualty or Condemnation. Tenant shall take every other action
necessary or appropriate for the preservation and safety of each Related
Premises. Tenant shall promptly make all Alterations of every kind and nature,
whether foreseen or unforeseen, which may be required to comply with the
foregoing requirements of this Paragraph 12(a). Landlord shall not be required
to make any Alteration, whether foreseen or unforeseen, or to maintain either
Related Premises or Adjoining Property in any way, and Tenant hereby expressly
waives any right which may be provided for in any Law now or hereafter in effect
to make Alterations at the expense of Landlord or to require Landlord to make
Alterations. Any Alteration made by Tenant pursuant to this Paragraph 12 shall
be made in conformity with the provisions of Paragraph 13.

                  (b) If any Improvement hereafter constructed shall (i)
encroach upon any setback or any property, street or right-of-way adjoining any
of the Leased Premises, (ii) violate the provisions of any restrictive covenant
affecting any of the Leased Premises, (iii) hinder or obstruct any easement or
right-of-way to which any of the Leased Premises is subject or (iv) impair the
rights of others in, to or under any of the foregoing, Tenant shall, promptly
after receiving notice or otherwise acquiring knowledge thereof, either (A)
obtain from all necessary parties waivers or settlements of all claims,
liabilities and damages resulting from each such encroachment, violation,
hindrance, obstruction or impairment, whether the same shall affect Landlord,
Tenant or both, or (B) take such action as shall be necessary to remove all such
encroachments, hindrances or obstructions and to end all such violations or
impairments, including, if necessary, making Alterations.

            13. Alterations and Improvements.

                  (a) Subject in each case to the requirements of Paragraph
13(b), Tenant shall have the right, without having obtained the prior written
consent of Landlord or Lender and provided that no Event of Default then exists,
(i) to make Pre-Approved Alterations and (ii) to install or replace Fixtures or
accessions to the Fixtures. If Tenant desires to make any Major Alteration to
either Related Premises the prior written approval of Landlord and Lender shall
be required. Withholding of such approval shall be deemed reasonable only if the
proposed Major Alteration will, in the judgment of Landlord or Lender, as
applicable, in each case exercised reasonably and in good faith, fail to meet
the requirements of Paragraph 13(b). Any


                                       20
<PAGE>
such withholding of approval shall be evidenced by notice to Tenant, given
within thirty (30) days after Tenant has submitted to Landlord design drawings
prepared by a licensed architect or engineer if a building permit is required,
or, if no building permit is required, such other reasonably detailed
description of the proposed Major Alteration, which shall be sufficient to
permit Landlord and Lender to make the determination required hereby, setting
forth the reason(s) for such withholding of approval. Tenant shall promptly
furnish Landlord with such other information as Landlord may reasonably request
during such thirty (30) day period regarding such proposed Major Alteration. In
the absence of such notice by Landlord or Lender, Landlord and Lender's approval
of the proposed Major Alteration shall be deemed given so long as Tenant's
request for approval is conspicuously marked in all capitals on both the outside
of the package and within such correspondence with the notation "THIS REQUEST
FOR APPROVAL SHALL BE DEEMED GRANTED UNLESS RESPONDED TO WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS
OF RECEIPT". Upon not less than thirty (30) days prior notice (which notice
shall include design drawings or other description sufficient to permit Landlord
and Lender to make the determination required hereby), Tenant shall have the
right to make Major Replacements unless, within said thirty (30) day period,
Landlord furnishes Tenant with a notice objecting to the Major Replacement,
which Landlord notice shall be accompanied by the certification of an
independent architect or, if applicable, engineer that the proposed Major
Replacement constitutes a material modification of the structure it is replacing
(and, therefore, constitutes a Major Alteration) or such Major Replacement, if
completed in the manner proposed, will be of such lesser quality or utility as
to be below any reasonable standards for comparable buildings in the applicable
locale. Tenant shall not construct upon the Land any additional buildings (other
than storage sheds or garages not requiring foundations) or install any
underground storage tanks without having first obtained the prior written
consent of Landlord and Lender which as to underground storage tanks may be
withheld by Landlord or Lender in their sole and absolute discretion. Upon the
expiration or termination of the Term with respect to a Related Premises,
Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to remove any Alterations except
for Pre-Approved Alterations which complied with Paragraph 13(b), Major
Replacements, Alterations required by Law and Alterations which Landlord
approved in writing, unless such approval was specifically conditioned upon
removal of such Alteration.

                  (b) If Tenant makes any Alterations pursuant to this Paragraph
13 or as required by Paragraph 12 or 17 (such Alterations and actions being
hereinafter collectively referred to as "Work"), then (i) the market value and
utility of the applicable Related of Premises shall not be lessened by any such
Work, (ii) all such Work shall be performed by Tenant in a good and workmanlike
manner, (iii) all such Work shall be expeditiously completed in compliance with
all Legal Requirements, (iv) all such Work shall comply with the requirements of
all insurance policies required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder, (v) if any
such Work involves the replacement of Fixtures or parts thereto, all replacement
Fixtures or parts shall have a value and useful life equal to (A) if the
Fixtures are being replaced because they are obsolete or worn out, the value and
useful life on the date hereof of the Fixtures being replaced or (B) if the
Fixtures are being replaced because of damage or the occurrence of a Casualty,
the value and useful life of the Fixtures being replaced immediately prior to
the occurrence of the event which required its replacement (assuming such
replaced Fixtures were then in the condition required by this Lease), (vi)
subject to Paragraph 14, Tenant shall promptly discharge or remove all liens
filed against any of the Leased Premises arising out of such Work, (vii) Tenant
shall procure and pay for all permits and licenses required in connection with
any such Work, (viii) all such Work


                                       21
<PAGE>
shall be the property of Landlord and shall be subject to this Lease, and Tenant
shall execute and deliver to Landlord any document requested by Landlord
evidencing the assignment to Landlord of all estate, right, title and interest
(other than the leasehold estate created hereby) of Tenant or any other Person
thereto or therein, (ix) if any such Alterations are Major Alterations or Major
Replacements, Tenant shall provide to Landlord reasonable financial assurances
of the availability of funds necessary to complete such Alterations and (x)
Tenant shall comply, to the extent requested by Landlord or required by this
Lease, with the provisions of Paragraphs 12(a) and 19(a), whether or not such
Work involves restoration of the Leased Premises.

            14. Permitted Contests. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Lease, Tenant shall not be required to (a) pay any Imposition, (b) discharge or
remove any lien referred to in Paragraph 11 or 13 or (c) take any action with
respect to any encroachment, violation, hindrance, obstruction or impairment
referred to in Paragraph 12(b) (such non-compliance with the terms hereof being
hereinafter referred to collectively as "Permitted Violations") and may dispute
or contest the same, so long as at the time of such non-compliance no Event of
Default with respect to the Related Premises to which the Permitted Violation
pertains, exists and so long as Tenant shall contest, in good faith, the
existence, amount or validity thereof, the amount of the damages caused thereby,
or the extent of its or Landlord's liability therefor by appropriate proceedings
which shall operate during the pendency thereof to prevent or stay (i) the
collection of, or other realization upon, the Permitted Violation so contested,
(ii) the sale, forfeiture or loss of any of the applicable Related Premises or
any Rent to satisfy or to pay any damages caused by any Permitted Violation,
(iii) any interference with the use or occupancy of any of the applicable
Related Premises, (iv) any interference with the payment of any Rent, or (v) the
cancellation or increase in the rate of any insurance policy or a statement by
the carrier that coverage will be denied. Tenant shall provide Landlord security
which is satisfactory, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, to assure that such
Permitted Violation is corrected, including all Costs, interest and penalties
that may be incurred or become due in connection therewith. While any
proceedings which comply with the requirements of this Paragraph 14 are pending
and the required security is held by Landlord, Landlord shall not have the right
to correct any Permitted Violation thereby being contested unless Landlord is
required by Law to correct such Permitted Violation and Tenant's contest does
not prevent or stay such requirement as to Landlord. Each such contest shall be
promptly and diligently prosecuted by Tenant to a final conclusion, except that
Tenant, so long as the conditions of this Paragraph 14 are at all times complied
with, has the right to attempt to settle or compromise such contest through
negotiations. Tenant shall pay any and all losses, judgments, decrees and Costs
in connection with any such contest and shall, promptly after the final
determination of such contest, fully pay and discharge the amounts which shall
be levied, assessed, charged or imposed or be determined to be payable therein
or in connection therewith, together with all penalties, fines, interest and
Costs thereof or in connection therewith, and perform all acts the performance
of which shall be ordered or decreed as a result thereof. No such contest shall
subject Landlord to the risk of any civil or criminal liability.

            15. Indemnification.

                  (a) Tenant shall pay, protect, indemnify, defend, save and
hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages
(including punitive damages), penalties, Costs (including reasonable attorneys'
fees and costs), causes of action, suits, claims, demands or judgments of any
nature whatsoever, howsoever caused, without regard


                                       22
<PAGE>
to the form of action and whether based on strict liability, negligence or any
other theory of recovery at law or in equity (except for gross negligence or
willful misconduct in connection with any act or omission by the Landlord
seeking indemnification), arising from (i) any matter pertaining to the
acquisition (except for any acquisition fees or similar payments to W.P. Carey &
Co. LLC or any of its affiliates), ownership, leasing, use, non-use, occupancy,
operation, management, condition, design, construction, maintenance, repair or
restoration of any of the Leased Premises or the condition, use, repair or
restoration of the Adjoining Property, (ii) any casualty in any manner arising
from any of the Leased Premises or of the Adjoining Property, whether or not
Landlord has or should have knowledge or notice of any defect or condition
causing or contributing to said casualty, (iii) any violation by Tenant of any
provision of this Lease, any contract or agreement to which Tenant is a party,
any Legal Requirement or any Permitted Encumbrance or any encumbrance Tenant
consented to or the Mortgage or Assignment or (iv) any alleged, threatened or
actual Environmental Violation first occurring prior to the later of the
termination of this Lease with respect to, or Tenant's vacation of, the
applicable Related Premises, including (A) liability for response costs and for
costs of removal and remedial action incurred by the United States Government,
any state or local governmental unit or any other Person, or damages from injury
to or destruction or loss of natural resources, including the reasonable costs
of assessing such injury, destruction or loss, incurred pursuant to Section 107
of CERCLA, or any successor section or act or provision of any similar state or
local Law, (B) liability for costs and expenses of abatement, correction or
clean-up, fines, damages, response costs or penalties which arise from the
provisions of any of the other Environmental Laws and (C) liability for personal
injury or property damage arising under any statutory or common-law tort theory,
including damages assessed for the maintenance of a public or private nuisance
or for carrying on of a dangerous activity.

                  (b) Landlord shall pay, protect, indemnify, defend, save and
hold harmless Tenant from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages
(including punitive damages), penalties, Costs (including attorneys' fees and
costs reasonably and actually incurred), causes of action, suits, claims,
demands or judgments arising from the gross negligence or intentional misconduct
of Landlord.

                  (c) In case any action or proceeding is brought against Tenant
or Landlord by reason of any such claim, (i) Landlord or Tenant, as the case may
be, may, except in the event of a conflict of interest or a dispute between
Tenant and any Landlord or during the continuance of an Event of Default, retain
its own counsel and defend such action (it being understood that Landlord or
Tenant, as the case may be, may employ counsel of its choice to monitor the
defense of any such action, the cost of which shall be paid by the indemnifying
party) and (ii) such Landlord or Tenant shall notify Landlord or Tenant, as the
case may be, to resist or defend such action or proceeding by retaining counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, and such
Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, will cooperate and assist in the defense
of such action or proceeding if reasonably requested to do so by Tenant or
Landlord, as the case may be. In the event of a conflict of interest or dispute
or during the continuance of an Event of Default, Landlord shall have the right
to select counsel, and the reasonable and actual cost of such counsel shall be
paid by Tenant.

                  (d) The obligations of Tenant and Landlord under this
Paragraph 15 shall survive any termination, expiration or rejection in
bankruptcy of this Lease.


                                       23
<PAGE>
THE INDEMNITY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 15 SHALL NOT BE IMPAIRED OR AFFECTED BY
NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART OF LANDLORD OR ANYONE ACTING BEHALF OF LANDLORD.

            16. Insurance.

                  (a) Tenant shall maintain the following insurance on or in
connection with the Leased Premises:

                        (i) Insurance against risk of physical loss or damage to
the Improvements and Fixtures as provided under "All Risk" coverage, and
including customarily excluded perils of hail, windstorm, flood coverage (if the
Leased Premises is in a flood zone), earthquake and, to the extent required by
Lender, terrorism insurance in amounts not less than the actual replacement cost
of the Improvements and Fixtures; provided that, if Tenant's insurance company
is unable or unwilling to include any of all of such excluded perils, Tenant
shall have the option of purchasing coverage against such perils from another
insurer on a "Difference in Conditions" form or through a stand-alone policy.
Such policies shall contain Replacement Cost and Agreed Amount Endorsements and
shall contain deductibles not more than $250,000 per occurrence (except
terrorism insurance at either Related Premises, which shall have a deductible of
not more than two (2%) of the actual replacement value of the Improvements and
Fixtures at the applicable Related Premises). If any of the Improvements
constitute a legal non-conforming structure under applicable building, zoning or
land use laws, such policies shall also include an ordinance or law coverage
endorsement which will contain Coverage A: "Loss Due to Operation of Law" (with
a minimum liability limit equal to Replacement Cost with a waiver of any
co-insurance provisions or an Agreed Value Endorsement), Coverage B: "Demolition
Cost" and Coverage C: "Increased Cost of Construction" coverages.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, terrorism insurance coverage shall not be
required if it is not available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined
by Landlord and Lender in their sole discretion); provided however, if a rating
agency in connection with a securitization of a Loan or in connection with its
rating surveillance of the certificates issued pursuant to a securitization of a
Loan would not provide or maintain a rating for any portion of such Loan or such
certificates which would otherwise be available but for the failure to maintain
such terrorism insurance, Tenant will so maintain such terrorism insurance if
obtainable from any insurer or any governmental authority with the deductibles
set forth above.

                        (ii) Commercial General Liability Insurance and Business
Automobile Liability Insurance (including Non-Owned and Hired Automobile
Liability) against claims for personal and bodily injury, death or property
damage occurring on, in or as a result of the use of the Leased Premises, in an
amount not less than $15,000,000 per occurrence/annual aggregate and all other
coverage extensions that are usual and customary for properties of this size and
type provided, however, that the Landlord shall have the right to require such
higher limits as may be reasonable and customary for properties of this size and
type.

                        (iii) Worker's compensation insurance covering all
persons employed by Tenant in connection with any work done on or about any of
the Leased Premises for which claims for death, disease or bodily injury may be
asserted against Landlord, Tenant or any of the Leased Premises or, in lieu of
such Workers' Compensation Insurance, a program of


                                       24
<PAGE>
self-insurance complying with the rules, regulations and requirements of the
appropriate agency of the State or States in which the Leased Premises are
located.

                        (iv) Comprehensive Boiler and Machinery Insurance on any
of the Fixtures or any other equipment on or in the Leased Premises in an amount
not less than $5,000,000 per accident for damage to property. Either such Boiler
and Machinery policy or the All-Risk policy required in (i) above shall include
Off-Premises Service Interruption with limits of $1,500,000 per occurrence for
property damage, $1,500,000 per occurrence for time element; $750,000 per
occurrence for expediting expense; $275,000 per occurrence for ammonia
contamination; and $375,000 per occurrence for hazardous materials clean-up and
with a deductible not to exceed $250,000.

                        (v) Business Interruption Insurance at limits to cover
100% of losses and/or expenses incurred over the period of indemnity not less
than twelve (12) months from time of loss. Such insurance shall name Landlord as
loss payee solely with respect to Rent payable to or for the benefit of the
Landlord under this Lease.

                        (vi) During any period in which substantial Alterations
at either Related Premises are being undertaken, Tenant shall cause each
contractor to obtain builder's risk insurance covering in the aggregate the
total completed value including any "soft costs" with respect to the
Improvements being altered or repaired (on a completed value, non-reporting
basis), replacement cost of work performed and equipment, supplies and materials
furnished in connection with such construction or repair of Improvements or
Fixtures, together with such "soft cost" endorsements and such other
endorsements as Landlord may reasonably require and general liability, workers'
compensation and automobile liability insurance with respect to the Improvements
being constructed, altered or repaired.

                        (vii) Such other insurance (or other terms with respect
to any insurance required pursuant to this Paragraph 16, including without
limitation amounts of coverage, deductibles, form of mortgagee clause) on or in
connection with any of the Leased Premises as Landlord or Lender may reasonably
require for properties of similar location, size, type, value and use

                  (b) The insurance required by Paragraph 16(a) shall be written
by companies which (i) have a Best's rating of A:X or above and a claims paying
ability rating of AA or better by S&P or equivalent rating agency approved by
Landlord and Lender in their sole discretion and (ii) are approved to write
insurance policies by, the State Insurance Department for the states in which
the Leased Premises are located. Notwithstanding clause "(i)" of the preceding
sentence, provided that each of the following insurance carriers meet the
requirements of clause "(ii)" of the preceding sentence, then, (A) the insurance
required pursuant to Paragraph 16(a)(i) may be on policies written by (1)
Continental Casualty Co. so long as it maintains an S&P claims paying ability
rating of A- or better, (2) American Guaranty Ins. Co. so long is it maintains
an S&P claims paying ability rating of A+ or better, and (3) Liberty Mutual
Insurance Co. so long as it maintains an S&P claims paying ability rating of A+
or better, and (B) the insurance required pursuant to Paragraph 16(a)(iv) may be
on policies written by Commonwealth Insurance Co. so long as it maintains an S&P
claims paying ability rating of BBB or better, provided, however, that in the
event that any of the preceding insurance carriers fails to maintain


                                       25
<PAGE>
its corresponding rating set forth above, then such insurance carrier shall be
replaced with an insurance carrier meeting the requirements set forth in the
first sentence of this Paragraph 16(b). The insurance policies shall be in
amounts sufficient at all times to satisfy any coinsurance requirements thereof.
The insurance referred to in Paragraphs 16(a)(i), 16(a)(iv), 16(a)(v) and
16(a)(vi) shall name Landlord and Lender as loss payees and Tenant as its
interest may appear. The insurance referred to in Paragraph 16(a)(ii) shall name
Landlord and Lender as additional insureds. If said insurance or any part
thereof shall expire, be withdrawn, become void, voidable, unreliable or unsafe
for any reason, including a breach of any condition thereof by Tenant or the
failure or impairment of the capital of any insurer, Tenant shall immediately
obtain new or additional insurance satisfying the requirements of this Paragraph
16. If the availability of the types and amounts of insurance coverages required
under Paragraph 16(a) shall change in the commercial insurance marketplace for
properties that are of a similar size, scope, location and usage as any
applicable Related Premises, at Tenant's request Landlord shall review such
coverages available at the time and, if Landlord deems appropriate (in its sole
and absolute discretion), adjust the types and amounts of insurance required.

                  (c) Each insurance policy referred to in clauses (i), (iv),
(v) and (vi) of Paragraph 16(a) shall contain standard non-contributory
mortgagee clauses in favor of and acceptable to Lender. Each policy required by
any provision of Paragraph 16(a), except clause (iii) thereof, shall provide
that it may not be cancelled substantially modified or allowed to lapse on any
renewal date except after thirty (30) days' prior notice to Landlord and Lender.
Each such policy shall also provide that any loss otherwise payable thereunder
shall be payable notwithstanding (i) any act or omission of Landlord or Tenant
which might, absent such provision, result in a forfeiture of all or a part of
such insurance payment, (ii) the occupation or use of any of the Leased Premises
for purposes more hazardous than those permitted by the provisions of such
policy, (iii) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken by Lender
pursuant to any provision of the Mortgage, Note, Assignment or other document
evidencing or securing the Loan upon the happening of an event of default
therein or (iv) any change in title to or ownership of any of the Leased
Premises.

                  (d) Tenant shall pay as they become due all premiums for the
insurance required by Paragraph 16(a), shall renew or replace each policy and
deliver to Landlord evidence of the payment of the full premium therefor or
installment then due prior to the expiration date of such policy, and shall
promptly deliver to Landlord all original certificates of insurance at least
fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration date thereof, which certificates shall
bear notations evidencing payment of applicable premiums and, if required by
Lender, certified policies as soon as available.

                  (e) Anything in this Paragraph 16 to the contrary
notwithstanding, any insurance which Tenant is required to obtain pursuant to
Paragraph 16(a) may be carried under a "blanket" or umbrella policy or policies
covering other properties or liabilities of Tenant, provided that such "blanket"
or umbrella policy or policies otherwise comply with the provisions of this
Paragraph 16 and provided further that Tenant shall provide to Landlord a
Statement of Values which shall be reviewed annually and amended as necessary
based on Replacement Cost Valuations. The original or a certified copy of each
such "blanket" or umbrella policy shall promptly be delivered to Landlord.


                                       26
<PAGE>
                  (f) Tenant shall promptly comply with and conform to (i) all
provisions of each insurance policy required by this Paragraph 16 and (ii) all
requirements of the insurers thereunder applicable to Landlord, Tenant or any of
the Leased Premises or to the use, manner of use, occupancy, possession,
operation, maintenance, alteration or repair of any of the Leased Premises, even
if such compliance necessitates Alterations or results in interference with the
use or enjoyment of any of the Leased Premises.

                  (g) Tenant shall not carry separate insurance concurrent in
form or contributing in the event of a Casualty with that required in this
Paragraph 16 unless (i) Landlord and Lender are included therein as named
insureds, with loss payable as provided herein, and (ii) such separate insurance
complies with the other provisions of this Paragraph 16. Tenant shall
immediately notify Landlord of such separate insurance and shall deliver to
Landlord the original policies or certified copies thereof.

                  (h) All policies shall contain effective waivers by the
carrier against all claims for insurance premiums against Landlord and shall
contain full waivers of subrogation against the Landlord.

                  (i) All proceeds of any insurance required under Paragraph
16(a) shall be payable as follows:

                        (i) Proceeds payable under clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv)
of Paragraph 16(a) and proceeds attributable to the general liability coverage
of Builder's Risk insurance under clause (vi) of Paragraph 16(a) shall be
payable to the Person entitled to receive such proceeds.

                        (ii) Proceeds of insurance required under clause (i) of
Paragraph 16(a) and proceeds attributable to Builder's Risk insurance (other
than its general liability coverage provisions) under clause (vi) of Paragraph
16(a) shall be payable to Landlord or Lender and applied as set forth in
Paragraph 17 or, if applicable, Paragraph 18. Tenant shall apply the Net Award
to restoration of the Leased Premises in accordance with the applicable
provisions of this Lease unless a Termination Event shall have occurred and
Tenant has given a Termination Notice in which event the Net Award shall be
retained by Landlord.

            17. Casualty and Condemnation.

                  (a) If any Casualty to either of the Related Premises occurs
the insurance proceeds for which are reasonably estimated by Tenant to be equal
to or in excess of the Threshold Amount, Tenant shall give Landlord and Lender
immediate notice thereof. So long as (i) no Event of Default, exists, and (ii)
Tenant does not give a Termination Notice to Landlord, Tenant is hereby
authorized to adjust, collect and compromise all claims under any of the
insurance policies required by Paragraph 16(a) (except public liability
insurance claims payable to a Person other than Tenant, Landlord or Lender) and
to execute and deliver on behalf of Landlord all necessary proofs of loss,
receipts, vouchers and releases required by the insurers and Landlord shall have
the right to join with Tenant therein. Any final adjustment, settlement or
compromise of any such claim shall be subject to the prior written approval of
Landlord and Lender, and Landlord and Lender shall have the right to prosecute
or contest, or to require


                                       27
<PAGE>
Tenant to prosecute or contest, any such claim, adjustment, settlement or
compromise. If an Event of Default exists, Tenant shall not be entitled to
adjust, collect or compromise any such claim or to participate with Landlord in
any adjustment, collection and compromise of the Net Award payable in connection
with a Casualty and, in such event, agrees to sign, upon the request of
Landlord, all such accurate proofs of loss, receipts, vouchers and releases.
Each insurer is hereby authorized and directed to make payment under said
policies, if required by the Mortgage, to Lender instead of to Landlord and
Tenant jointly. The rights of Landlord under this Paragraph 17(a) shall be
extended to Lender if and to the extent that any Mortgage so provides.

                  (b) Tenant, promptly upon receiving a Condemnation Notice,
shall notify Landlord and Lender thereof. So long as (i) no Event of Default,
exists and (ii) Tenant does not give a Termination Notice to Landlord, Tenant is
authorized to collect, settle and compromise the amount of any Net Award and
Landlord shall have the right to join with Tenant herein. If an Event of Default
exists, Landlord shall be authorized to collect, settle and compromise the
amount of any Net Award and Tenant shall not be entitled to participate with
Landlord in any Condemnation proceeding or negotiations under threat thereof or
to contest the Condemnation or the amount of the Net Award therefor. No
agreement with any condemnor in settlement or under threat of any Condemnation
shall be made by Tenant without the written consent of Landlord. Subject to the
provisions of this Paragraph 17(b), Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns to
Landlord any award or payment to which Tenant is or may be entitled by reason of
any Condemnation, whether the same shall be paid or payable for Tenant's
leasehold interest hereunder or otherwise; but nothing in this Lease shall
impair Tenant's right to any award or payment on account of Tenant's trade
fixtures, equipment or other tangible property which is not part of the
Fixtures, moving expenses or loss of business, if available, to the extent that
and so long as (i) Tenant shall have the right to make, and does make, a
separate claim therefor against the condemnor and (ii) such claim does not in
any way reduce either the amount of the award otherwise payable to Landlord for
the Condemnation of Landlord's fee interest in the applicable Related Premises
or the amount of the award (if any) otherwise payable for the Condemnation of
Tenant's leasehold interest hereunder. The rights of Landlord under this
Paragraph 17(b) shall also be extended to Lender if and to the extent that any
Mortgage so provides.

                  (c) If any Partial Casualty (whether or not insured against)
or Partial Condemnation shall occur to either Related Premises, this Lease shall
continue, notwithstanding such event, and there shall be no abatement or
reduction of any Monetary Obligations. Promptly after such Partial Casualty or
Partial Condemnation, Tenant, as required in Paragraph 12(a), shall commence and
diligently continue to restore the applicable Related Premises as nearly as
possible to its value, condition and character immediately prior to such event
(assuming such Related Premises to have been in the condition required by this
Lease). So long as no Event of Default exists, any Net Award up to and including
the Threshold Amount shall, unless such Casualty or Condemnation resulting in
the Net Award is a Termination Event, be paid by Landlord to Tenant and Tenant
shall restore the applicable Related Premises in accordance with the
requirements of Paragraph 13(b) of this Lease. Any Net Award in excess of the
Threshold Amount shall (unless such Casualty or Condemnation resulting in the
Net Award is a Termination Event) be made available by Landlord (or Lender if
the terms of the Mortgage so require) to Tenant for the restoration of any of
the applicable Related Premises pursuant to and in accordance with and subject
to the provisions of Paragraph 19 hereof. If any Casualty or


                                       28
<PAGE>
Condemnation which is not a Partial Casualty or Partial Condemnation shall
occur, Tenant shall comply with the terms and conditions of Paragraph 18.

            18. Termination Events.

                  (a) If either (i) all of either Related Premises shall be
taken by a Taking, or (ii) any substantial portion of either Related Premises
shall be taken by a Taking or (iii) all or any substantial portion of either
Related Premises shall be damaged or destroyed by a Casualty during the last
twelve (12) months of the Term and at the time of such Casualty no Event of
Default exists (any one or all of the Related Premises described in the above
clauses (i) and (ii) above being hereinafter referred to as the "Affected
Premises" and each of the events described in the above clauses (i), (ii) and
(iii) shall hereinafter be referred to as a "Termination Event"), then (x) in
the case of (i) above, Tenant shall be obligated, within thirty (30) days after
Tenant receives a Condemnation Notice and (y) in the case of (ii)or (iii) above,
Tenant shall have the option, within thirty (30) days after Tenant receives a
Condemnation Notice or thirty (30) days after the Casualty, as the case may be,
to give to Landlord written notice (a "Termination Notice") in the form
described in Paragraph 18(b) of the Tenant's election to terminate this Lease as
to the Affected Premises. If Tenant elects under clause (y) above not to give
Landlord a Termination Notice, then Tenant shall rebuild or repair the Leased
Premises in accordance with Paragraphs 17 and 19.

                  (b) A Termination Notice shall contain notice of Tenant's
intention to terminate this Lease as to the Affected Premises thirty (30) days
after delivery of the Termination Notice (the "Termination Date") and any
amounts prepaid by Tenant and attributable to the Affected Premises for any
period after the Termination Date shall be refunded to Tenant.

                  (c) This Lease shall terminate as to the Affected Premises on
the Termination Date or, in the case of a Casualty at such later date on which,
(A) Tenant has paid all insurance deductibles associated with the Net Award and
(B) Landlord has received confirmation that the insurance proceeds payable
pursuant to Paragraph 16(a)(i) shall be paid to Landlord in full without offset
and deduction. If Tenant has not satisfied all Monetary Obligations and all
other non-contingent obligations and liabilities under this Lease which have
arisen as to the Affected Premises (collectively, "Remaining Obligations") on or
prior to the Termination Date, then Landlord may, at its option, extend the
Termination Date as to the Affected Premises to a date which is no later than
thirty (30) days after the date on which Tenant has satisfied all Remaining
Obligations. Upon such termination (i) all obligations of Tenant hereunder as to
the Affected Premises shall terminate except for any Surviving Obligations, (ii)
Tenant shall immediately vacate and shall have no further right, title or
interest in or to the Affected Premises and (iii) the Net Award shall be
retained by Landlord and (iv) any amounts prepaid by Tenant and attributed to
the Affected Premises for any period after the Termination Date shall be
refunded to Tenant.

                  (d) In the event of the termination of this Lease as to the
Affected Premises as hereinabove provided, this Lease shall remain in full force
and effect as to the Remaining Premises; provided, that the Basic Rent for the
Remaining Premises to be paid after such termination shall be the Basic Rent
otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the Leased


                                       29
<PAGE>
Premises multiplied by a percentage equal to the percentage set forth on Exhibit
"F" for the Remaining Premises.

            19. Restoration.

                  (a) If any Net Award is in excess of the Threshold Amount,
Landlord (or Lender if required by any Mortgage) shall hold the Net Award in a
fund (the "Restoration Fund") and disburse amounts from the Restoration Fund
only in accordance with the following conditions:

                        (i) prior to commencement of restoration, (A) the
architects, contracts, contractors, plans and specifications and a budget, which
budget may include a redevelopment fee payable to Tenant or its designee, for
the restoration shall have been approved by Landlord, (B) Landlord and Lender
shall be provided with mechanics' lien insurance (if available) and performance
and payment bonds in customary form and amounts issued by a surety reasonably
acceptable to Landlord, and name Landlord and Lender as additional dual
obligees, and (C) if the Related Premises being restored is the Pennsylvania
Premises, appropriate waivers of mechanics' and materialmen's liens shall have
been filed;

                        (ii) at the time of any disbursement, no Event of
Default, shall exist and no mechanics' or materialmen's liens (other than those
being contested in compliance with Paragraph 14) shall have been filed against
the applicable Related Premises and remain undischarged;

                        (iii) disbursements shall be made from time to time in
an amount not exceeding the cost of the work completed since the last
disbursement, upon receipt of (A) satisfactory evidence, including architects'
certificates, of the stage of completion, the estimated total cost of completion
and performance of the work to date in a good and workmanlike manner in
accordance with the contracts, plans and specifications, (B) waivers of liens,
(C) contractors' and subcontractors' sworn statements as to completed work and
the cost thereof for which payment is requested, (D) a satisfactory bringdown of
title insurance and (E) other reasonable evidence of cost and payment so that
Landlord and Lender can verify that the amounts disbursed from time to time are
represented by work that is completed, in place and free and clear of mechanics'
and materialmen's lien claims;

                        (iv) each request for disbursement shall be accompanied
by a certificate of Tenant, signed by the president or a vice president of
Tenant, describing the work for which payment is requested, stating the cost
incurred in connection therewith, stating that Tenant has not previously
received payment for such work and, upon completion of the work, also stating
that, to the best knowledge of such person, the work has been fully completed
and complies with the applicable requirements of this Lease;

                        (v) Landlord may retain ten percent (10%) of the
Restoration Fund until the restoration is fully completed;

                        (vi) the Restoration Fund shall not be commingled with
Landlord's other funds and shall bear interest at a rate agreed to by Landlord
and Tenant; and


                                       30
<PAGE>
                        (vii) such other reasonable and customary conditions as
Landlord or Lender may impose.

                  (b) Prior to commencement of restoration and at any time
during restoration, if the estimated cost of completing the restoration work
free and clear of all liens, as reasonably determined by Landlord, exceeds the
amount of the Net Award available for such restoration, the amount of such
excess shall, upon demand by Landlord, be paid by Tenant to Landlord to be added
to the Restoration Fund. Any sum so added by Tenant which remains in the
Restoration Fund upon completion of restoration shall be refunded to Tenant. For
purposes of determining the source of funds with respect to the disposition of
funds remaining after the completion of restoration, the Net Award shall be
deemed to be disbursed prior to any amount added by Tenant.

                  (c) If any sum remains in the Restoration Fund after
completion of the restoration and any refund to Tenant pursuant to Paragraph
19(b), such sum shall be retained by Landlord or, if required by a Note or
Mortgage, paid by Landlord to a Lender.

            20. Intentionally Omitted.

            21. Assignment and Subletting: Prohibition against Leasehold
Financing.

                  (a) (i) Except as specifically provided in this Paragraph 21
and subject to the terms hereof, Tenant shall not assign this Lease, voluntarily
or involuntarily, whether by operation of law or otherwise. Tenant shall have
the right, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord and Lender,
with no consent of Landlord or Lender being required or necessary ("Preapproved
Assignment") (A) to assign this Lease either in its entirety ("Complete
Assignment") or (B) from time to time to cause Landlord to bifurcate this Lease
into two leases ("Lease Bifurcation"), one lease for one Related Premises (the
"Bifurcated Premises") to be leased to a Preapproved Assignee (as hereinafter
defined) upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease (but shall
specifically provide that it is not cross-defaulted this Lease), and one lease
for the remaining Related Premises which will continue to be subject to this
Lease, as amended (each, a "Bifurcated Lease"), provided that (1) the Basic Rent
under each such Bifurcated Lease shall be allocated among each of the Related
Premises as provided in Exhibit "F", (2) Tenant assigns its interest in this
Lease with respect to the Bifurcated Premises (each such Lease Bifurcation, a
"Partial Assignment") in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Paragraph 21, and (3) any such Complete Assignment or each Partial Assignment is
to a Person (a "Preapproved Assignee") which meets the following applicable
criteria: (x) in the case of a Complete Assignment which, as a matter of Law,
results from a merger, the successor Tenant shall have, after giving effect to
such merger, a net worth at least equal to Tenant's net worth immediately prior
to such merger, (y) in the case of the sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of Tenant, (i) the sale shall result in a Complete Assignment, and (ii)
immediately after giving effect to such purchase, the assignee shall have a net
worth at least equal to Tenant's net worth immediately prior to such purchase,
and (z) in all other cases, immediately following such assignment the assignee
will have an Investment Grade Rating. All determinations of net worth in this
Paragraph 21(a)(i) shall be made in accordance with GAAP.


                                       31
<PAGE>
                        (ii) If Tenant desires to assign this Lease, whether by
operation of law, through a Complete Assignment or a Partial Assignment, or
otherwise, to a Person (a "Non-Preapproved Assignee") who would not be a
Preapproved Assignee (a "Non-Preapproved Assignment") then Tenant shall, not
less than ninety (90) days prior to the date on which it desires to make a
Non-Preapproved Assignment submit to Landlord and Lender information regarding
the following with respect to the Non-Preapproved Assignee (collectively, the
"Review Criteria"): (A) credit, (B) capital structure, (C) management, (D)
operating history, (E) proposed use of the Leased Premises and (F) risk factors
associated with the proposed use of the Leased Premises by the Non-Preapproved
Assignee, taking into account factors such as environmental concerns, product
liability and the like. Landlord and Lender shall review such information and
shall approve or disapprove the Non-Preapproved Assignee no later than the
thirtieth (30th) day following receipt of all such information, and Landlord and
Lender shall be deemed to have acted reasonably in granting or withholding
consent if such grant or disapproval is based on their review of the Review
Criteria applying prudent business judgment. If a response is not received by
Tenant from Landlord and Lender by the expiration of such thirty (30) day period
such Non-Preapproved Assignee shall be deemed disapproved.

                        (iii) If Tenant assigns its rights and interest under
this Lease except as expressly set forth below, the assignee under such
assignment shall expressly assume all the obligations of Tenant hereunder,
actual or contingent, including the obligations of Tenant which may have arisen
on or prior to the date of such assignment, by a written instrument delivered to
Landlord at the time of such assignment. With respect to each assignment, the
assignee shall not be required to assume the obligations of Tenant which may
have arisen on or prior to the date of such assignment with respect to the
Leased Premises or the Bifurcated Premises, as applicable, if Tenant provides
Landlord evidence satisfactory to Landlord in its reasonable discretion that (1)
the Leased Premises or the Bifurcated Premises, as applicable, is in the
physical condition required by this Lease as evidenced by report issued by an
independent thirty party engineering firm reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (2)
no Environmental Violation exists as evidenced by a report issued by an
environmental consulting firm reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and (3) all
applicable Impositions have been properly adjusted between Tenant and the
assignee as of the assignment date. Upon a Complete Assignment to a Preapproved
Assignee which has an Investment Grade Rating in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Paragraph 21, Tenant shall be relieved of all of its
obligations under this Lease arising after such Complete Assignment. Upon a
Complete Assignment where the assignee is a Preapproved Assignee solely on the
basis of clause "(y)" of Paragraph 21(a)(i), Tenant shall be relieved of all of
its obligations under this Lease, whether arising before or after such Complete
Assignment, provided that such Preapproved Assignee assumes all of Tenant's
obligations under the Lease, actual or contingent, including the obligations of
Tenant which may have arisen on or prior to the date of such Complete
Assignment, by a written instrument delivered to Landlord at the time of such
assignment. Upon a Partial Assignment of this Lease to a Preapproved Assignee
which has an Investment Grade Rating in accordance with the terms and conditions
of this Paragraph 21, Tenant shall be relieved of all of its obligations under
this Lease with respect to the Bifurcated Premises arising after such
assignment. No assignment shall impose any additional obligations on Landlord
under this Lease, and, except as expressly set forth above, no assignment shall
affect or reduce any of the obligations of Tenant (including but not limited to
Tenant's liability with respect to Surviving Obligations), which shall remain in
full force and effect as obligations of a principal and not as obligations of a
guarantor, as if no assignment had been made.

<PAGE>
                  (b) (i) Tenant shall not have the right to sublet all or any
portion of either Related Premises without having obtained the approval of
Landlord which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Landlord
agrees that it shall not have the right to withhold or delay its consent to any
proposed subletting so long as Tenant agrees in writing at the time consent to
such subletting is requested to assign to Landlord the subrents collected
thereunder in accordance with the terms and provisions of Paragraph 21(e) (a
"Preapproved Sublet").

                        (ii) With respect to any sublease of an entire Related
Premises for a term of at least five (5) years or, if less, the balance of the
Term minus one day which sublease requires the subtenant to pay Rent at least
equal to Basic Rent and Additional Rent allocable to such Related Premises and
comply with all other terms and conditions of this Lease to the extent
applicable to the Related Premises (such sublease being referred to as a
"Protected Sublease") and such subtenant either (A) meets the criteria of a
Preapproved Assignee pursuant to Paragraph 21(a)(i) or (B) has been approved by
Landlord and Lender in accordance with the procedure set forth in clause (ii) of
Paragraph 21(a), (each such subtenant, a "Protected Subtenant"), so that if this
Lease is terminated by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord
will recognize such Protected Sublease as a direct lease of the Related
Premises. Such recognition and agreement by Landlord to treat such sublease as a
Protected Sublease, shall not be effective unless such Protected Subtenant
executes and delivers to Landlord a subordination, non-disturbance and
attornment agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "E" (modified as
appropriate to govern the Landlord and such subtenant as the parties and the
sublease as the protected leasehold). With respect to a proposed Protected
Subtenant pursuant to clause "(B)" above, Landlord shall provide its approval or
disapproval in writing within thirty (30) days of Tenant's written request and
submission of all required information and any disapproval by Landlord shall
state the reasons for such disapproval.

                        (iii) Each sublease of either of the Related Premises
shall (A) subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 21(b) and 32, be expressly
subject and subordinate to this Lease and any Mortgage encumbering the Leased
Premises; (B) not extend beyond the then current Term minus one day; (C) subject
to the provisions of Paragraphs 21(b) and 32, terminate upon any termination of
this Lease, unless Landlord elects in writing, to cause the sublessee to attorn
to and recognize Landlord as the lessor under such sublease, whereupon such
sublease shall continue as a direct lease between the sublessee and Landlord
upon all the terms and conditions of such sublease; and (D) bind the sublessee
to all covenants contained in Paragraphs 4(a), 10 and 12 with respect to
subleased premises to the same extent as if the sublessee were the Tenant. No
sublease shall affect or reduce any of the obligations of Tenant hereunder or,
except as provided in Paragraph 21(b)(ii), impose any additional obligations on
Landlord under this Lease.

                  (c) Concurrently with Tenant's execution of any assignment or
sublease, Tenant shall provide to Landlord a completed certification
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "G", executed by the
proposed assignee/sublessee and, in connection with a Preapproved Assignment or
Protected Sublease, such other information reasonably required by Landlord to
establish that any proposed Preapproved Assignment or Protected Sublease
satisfies the criteria set forth above.

<PAGE>
                  (d) Tenant shall, within ten (10) Business Days after the
execution and delivery of any assignment or sublease, deliver a duplicate
original copy thereof to Landlord which, in the event of an assignment, shall be
in recordable form.

                  (e) The provisions of this Paragraph 21(e) shall be applicable
in the event of a request by Tenant for consent to a Preapproved Sublet pursuant
to Paragraph 21(b) or with respect to any Protected Sublease. Tenant shall
grant, convey and assign to Landlord all right, title and interest of Tenant in
and to such sublease any and all extensions, modifications and renewals thereof
and all rents, issues and profits therefrom which assignment shall not be
subject to any assignment from Tenant to any other Person. Landlord shall grant
to Tenant a license to collect and enjoy all rents and other sums of money
payable under such sublease, provided, however, that during the continuance of
an Event of Default, Landlord shall have the absolute right at any time upon
notice to Tenant and any subtenants to revoke said license and to collect such
rents and sums of money and to apply the same to Rent next due and owing. Tenant
shall not consent to, cause or allow any modification or alteration of any of
the terms, conditions or covenants of any Protected Subleases or the termination
thereof, without the prior written approval of Landlord which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld nor shall Tenant accept any rents more than thirty (30)
days in advance of the accrual thereof.

                  (f) Tenant shall not have the power to mortgage, pledge or
otherwise encumber its interest under this Lease or any sublease of either of
the Related Premises, and any such mortgage, pledge or encumbrance made in
violation of this Paragraph 21 shall be void and of no force and effect.

                  (g) Landlord may sell or transfer its interest in the Leased
Premises at any time without Tenant's consent to any third party (each a "Third
Party Purchaser"), provided, however, Landlord shall not, without Tenant's prior
written consent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned, sell the Leased Premises or assign its interest in this Lease to
(i) to a Competitor of Tenant or (ii) a Person with which Tenant would be
required to consolidate its financial statements under GAAP. In the event of any
such transfer not in violation of this Paragraph 21(g), Tenant shall attorn to
any Third Party Purchaser as Landlord so long as such Third Party Purchaser and
Landlord notify Tenant in writing of such transfer. At the request of Landlord,
Tenant will execute such documents confirming the agreement referred to above
and such other agreements as Landlord may reasonably request, provided that such
agreements do not increase the liabilities and obligations of Tenant hereunder.

            22. Events of Default.

                  (a) The occurrence of any one or more of the following (after
expiration of any applicable cure period as provided in Paragraph 22(b)) shall,
at the sole option of Landlord, constitute an "Event of Default" under this
Lease.

                        (iii) any representation or warranty made by Tenant
herein or in any certificate, demand or request made pursuant hereto proves to
be incorrect in any material adverse respect and the circumstances giving rise

                        (vi) either Related Premises (A) shall have been vacated
other than (1) due to a Casualty to or Condemnation of such Related Premises so
long as Tenant is diligently negotiating an insurance settlement or endeavoring
to restore the Related Premises or (2) as a result of Tenant having decided to
cease its business operations at such location so long as Tenant is diligently
seeking an assignment or sublet (which diligence shall be deemed evidenced by a
listing of such Related Premises with a real estate broker or agent at market
terms), or (B) shall have been abandoned;

                        (vii) Tenant shall voluntarily liquidate or dissolve or
shall begin proceedings towards its liquidation or dissolution except by filing
bankruptcy proceedings;

                        (viii) the estate or interest of Tenant in either of the

estate or interest is about to be sold or transferred or such process shall not
be vacated or discharged within sixty (60) days after it is made;

                        (ix) a failure by Tenant to perform or observe, or a
violation or breach of, or a misrepresentation by Tenant under any document
between Tenant and Lender or from Tenant to Lender, if such failure, violation,
breach or misrepresentation gives rise to a default beyond any applicable cure
period with respect to any Loan;

                        (x) a failure by Tenant to maintain in effect any

                                       35
<PAGE>
                        (xi) Tenant shall in a single transaction or series of
related transactions sell, convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of

                        (xii) Tenant shall fail to deliver the Estoppel

                        (xiii) Tenant shall fail to execute and deliver the

Lease if not delivered within said time period; or

                        (xiv) An Event of Default (as that term is defined in
each of the Affiliate Leases) under either of the Affiliate Leases shall occur.

                  (b) No notice or cure period shall be required in any one or
more of the following events: (A) the occurrence of an Event of Default under
clause (i) (except as otherwise set forth below), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii),
(viii), (ix), (x), (xi), (xii), (xiii) or (xiv) of Paragraph 22(a); (B) a
failure to provide any insurance required by Paragraph 16 or an assignment or
sublease entered into in violation of Paragraph 21; or (C) the default is such
that any delay in the exercise of a remedy by Landlord could reasonably be
expected to cause irreparable harm to Landlord. If the default consists of the
failure to pay any Monetary Obligation under clause (i) of Paragraph 22(a), the
applicable cure period shall be five (5) Business Days from the date on which
notice is given, but if the default consists of the failure to pay Basic Rent,
Landlord shall not be obligated to give notice of such default in more than one
(1) time within any Lease Year. If the default consists of a default under
clause (ii) of Paragraph 22(a), other than the events specified in clauses (B)
and (C) of the first sentence of this Paragraph 22(b), the applicable cure
period shall be thirty (30) days from the date on which notice is given provided
Tenant has commenced to cure such default with such thirty (30) day period and
thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same or, if the
default cannot be cured within such thirty (30) day period and Tenant, in the
reasonable opinion of Landlord and Lender, thereafter diligently and
expeditiously proceeds to cure same (and delay in the exercise of a remedy would
not, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, cause any material adverse harm to
Landlord or any of the Leased Premises) the cure period shall be extended for so
long as it shall require Tenant in the exercise of due diligence to cure such
default, it being agreed that no such extension shall be for a period in excess
of one hundred and five (105) days unless (x) Landlord determines in its
reasonable discretion that Tenant is diligently and expeditiously curing the
applicable default and (y) the applicable default does not relate to an
Environmental Violation (except for an Environmental Violation that cannot be
cured within such one hundred and five (105) day period due solely to the
failure of a governmental agency to approve a remediation plan or provide any
permit required for Tenant to remediate in which case the one hundred and five
(105) day period shall be extended, so long as Tenant is diligently and
expeditiously curing


                                       36
<PAGE>
the applicable default, by the number of days elapsed between the date Tenant
submits a remediation plan or applies for a permit to the appropriate
governmental authority and the date such plan is approved or permit is issued by
the appropriate governmental authority, but in no event shall such extension
exceed one year from the date notice was originally given by Landlord to Tenant
of such default).

            23. Remedies and Damages Upon Default.

                  (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is
continuing, Landlord shall have the right, at its sole option, then or at any
time thereafter, to exercise its remedies and to collect damages from Tenant in
accordance with this Paragraph 23, subject in all events to applicable Law,
without further demand upon or notice to Tenant except as otherwise provided in
Paragraph 22(b) and this Paragraph 23.

                        (i) Landlord may give Tenant notice of Landlord's
intention to terminate this Lease on a date specified in such notice. Upon such
date, this Lease, the estate hereby granted and all rights of Tenant hereunder
shall expire and terminate. Upon such termination, Tenant shall immediately
surrender and deliver possession of the Leased Premises to Landlord in
accordance with Paragraph 26. If Tenant does not so surrender and deliver
possession of all of the Leased Premises, Landlord may re-enter and repossess
any of the Leased Premises not surrendered, with or without legal process, by
peaceably entering any of the Leased Premises and changing locks or by summary
proceedings, ejectment or any other lawful means or procedure.

                        (ii) Landlord may repossess the Leased Premises without
terminating the Lease after obtaining an appropriate order from a court of
competent jurisdiction, and thereafter peacefully enter the Leased Premises and
changing locks or by other summary judicial proceedings.

                        (iii) Upon or at any time after taking possession of any
of the Leased Premises pursuant to Paragraph 23(a)(i) or 23(a)(ii), Landlord
may, by peaceable means or legal process, remove any Persons or property
therefrom. Landlord shall be under no liability for or by reason of any such
entry, repossession or removal. Notwithstanding such entry or repossession,
Landlord may collect the damages set forth in Paragraph 23(b)(i) and 23(b)(ii).

                        (iv) After repossession of any of the Leased Premises
pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, Landlord shall have the right to relet any
of the Leased Premises to such tenant or tenants, for such term or terms, for
such rent, on such conditions and for such uses as Landlord in its sole
discretion may determine, and collect and receive any rents payable by reason of
such reletting. Landlord may make such Alterations in connection with such
reletting as it may deem advisable in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding any
such reletting, Landlord may collect the damages set forth in Paragraph
23(b)(ii). Landlord shall consider any tenants or subtenants reasonably proposed
by Tenant and prepared to lease or sublet the Leased Premises or either Related
Premises on reasonable terms so as to mitigate Tenant's damages, but Landlord
shall be under no obligation to accept such proposed tenants or subtenants.


                                       37
<PAGE>
                        (v) Landlord may declare by notice to Tenant the entire
Basic Rent (in the amount of Basic Rent then in effect) for the remainder of the
then current Term to be immediately due and payable. Tenant shall immediately
pay to Landlord all such Basic Rent discounted to its Present Value, all accrued
Rent then due and unpaid, all other Monetary Obligations which are then due and
unpaid and all Monetary Obligations which arise or become due by reason of such
Event of Default (including any Costs of Landlord). Upon receipt by Landlord of
all such accelerated Basic Rent and Monetary Obligations, this Lease shall
remain in full force and effect and Tenant shall have the right to possession of
the Leased Premises from the date of such receipt by Landlord to the end of the
Term, and subject to all the provisions of this Lease, including the obligation
to pay all increases in Basic Rent and all Monetary Obligations that
subsequently become due, except that (A) no Basic Rent which has been prepaid
hereunder shall be due thereafter during the said Term, and (B) Tenant shall
have no option to extend or renew the Term.

                  (b) The following constitute damages to which Landlord shall
be entitled if Landlord exercises its remedies under Paragraph 23(a)(i), (ii)
and (iii):

                        (i) If Landlord exercises its remedy under Paragraphs
23(a)(i) or (ii) but not its remedy under Paragraph 23(a)(iv) (or attempts to
exercise such remedy and is unsuccessful in reletting the Leased Premises) then,
upon written demand from Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as liquidated
and agreed final damages for Tenant's default and in lieu of all current damages
beyond the date of such demand (it being agreed that it would be impracticable
or extremely difficult to fix the actual damages), an amount equal to the
Present Value of the excess, if any, of (A) all Basic Rent allocated for each
Related Premises based on Exhibit "F" from the date of such demand to the date
on which the Term is scheduled to expire hereunder in the absence of any earlier
termination, re-entry or repossession over (B) the then fair market rental value
of each Related Premises for the same period. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord
all of Landlord's Costs in connection with the repossession of the Leased
Premises and any attempted reletting thereof, including all brokerage
commissions, legal expenses, reasonable attorneys' fees, employees' expenses,
costs of Alterations and expenses and preparation for reletting.

                        (ii) If Landlord exercises its remedy or remedies under
Paragraphs 23(a)(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv), then Tenant shall, until the end of
what would have been the Term in the absence of the termination of the Lease,
and whether or not any of the Leased Premises shall have been relet, be liable
to Landlord for, and shall pay to Landlord, as liquidated and agreed current
damages all Monetary Obligations which would be payable under this Lease by
Tenant in the absence of such termination less the net proceeds, if any, of any
reletting pursuant to Paragraph 23(a)(iv), after deducting from such proceeds
all of Landlord's Costs (including the items listed in the last sentence of
Paragraph 23(b)(i) hereof) incurred in connection with such repossessing and
reletting; provided, that if Landlord has not relet the Leased Premises, such
Costs of Landlord shall be considered to be Monetary Obligations payable by
Tenant. Tenant shall be and remain liable for all sums aforesaid, and Landlord
may recover such damages from Tenant and institute and maintain successive
actions or legal proceedings against Tenant for the recovery of such damages.
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require Landlord to wait to begin
such action or other legal proceedings until the date when the Term would have
expired by its own terms had there been no such Event of Default.

                  (c) Intentionally Omitted.

                  (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained,
in lieu of or in addition to any of the foregoing remedies and damages, Landlord
may exercise any remedies and collect any damages available to it at law or in
equity; provided, however, with respect to a Limited Remedy Default, the
aggregate amount Tenant shall be required to pay to Landlord (pursuant to
paragraph 23(a)(v) or otherwise) from and after the date of the occurrence of
such Limited Remedy Default (the "Occurrence Date") with respect to Basic Rent,
Additional Rent and indemnification obligations under Paragraph 15(a) shall be
limited to the sum of (i) the present value as of the Occurrence Date,
discounted at the annual rate of eleven and 15/100 percent (11.15%), of all
Basic Rent reserved hereunder for the unexpired portion after the Occurrence
Date) of the Term devised herein as if this Lease had not expired or been
terminated, (ii) any amounts of Additional Rent which are due and payable or
have accrued under this Lease through the Occurrence Date, and (iii) any amounts
of Additional Rent which are due and payable or have accrued under this Lease
after the Occurrence Date while the Tenant remains in possession of the Leased
Premises or the applicable Related Premises, as applicable, after any Limited
Remedy Default that relates to Impositions, insurance, utilities, repairs,
maintenance, environmental maintenance, remediation and compliance and other
routine and customary costs and expenses of operating and maintaining the Leased
Premises or the applicable Related Premises, as applicable. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if Tenant remains in possession of the Leased Premises or the
applicable Related Premises, as applicable, and assumes, ratifies or affirms
this Lease during any pending bankruptcy or other event described in 22(a)(iv)
or (v), then Tenant shall be obligated to pay all Basic Rent and Additional Rent
which become due and payable under this Lease without limitation by this
paragraph 23(d). Nothing contained in this paragraph 23(d) shall limit any
amounts payable by Tenant with respect to Basic Rent or Additional Rent if any
Event of Default that is not a Limited Remedy Default has occurred.

                  (e) Except as specifically provided in Paragraphs 23(a)(iv),
Landlord shall not be required to mitigate any of its damages hereunder unless
required to by applicable Law. If any Law shall validly limit the amount of any
damages provided for herein to an amount which is less than the amount agreed to
herein, Landlord shall be entitled to the maximum amount available under such
Law.

                  (f) No termination of this Lease, repossession or reletting of
any of the Leased Premises, exercise of any remedy or collection of any damages
pursuant to this Paragraph 23 shall relieve Tenant of any Surviving Obligations.

                  (g) WITH RESPECT TO ANY REMEDY OR PROCEEDING OF LANDLORD OR
TENANT HEREUNDER, LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

                  (h) Intentionally Omitted.

                  (i) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord
shall have the right (but no obligation) to perform any act required of Tenant
hereunder and, if performance of such act requires that Landlord enter the
Leased Premises, Landlord may enter the Leased Premises for such purpose.


                                       39
<PAGE>
                  (j) No failure of Landlord (i) to insist at any time upon the
strict performance of any provision of this Lease or (ii) to exercise any
option, right, power or remedy contained in this Lease shall be construed as a
waiver, modification or relinquishment thereof. A receipt by Landlord of any sum
in satisfaction of any Monetary Obligation with knowledge of the breach of any
provision hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, and no waiver by
Landlord of any provision hereof shall be deemed to have been made unless
expressed in a writing signed by Landlord.

                  (k) Tenant hereby waives and surrenders, for itself and all
those claiming under it, including creditors of all kinds, (i) any right and
privilege which it or any of them may have under any present or future Law to
redeem any of the Leased Premises or to have a continuance of this Lease after
termination of this Lease or of Tenant's right of occupancy or possession
pursuant to any court order or any provision hereof, and (ii) the benefits of
any present or future Law which exempts property from liability for debt or for
distress for rent.

                  (l) Except as otherwise provided herein, all remedies are
cumulative and concurrent and no remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. Each
remedy may be exercised at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and may be exercised from time to time. No remedy shall be exhausted
by any exercise thereof.

            24. Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals,
offers, statements and other instruments or communications required or permitted
to be given pursuant to the provisions of this Lease shall be in writing and

relied upon for estoppel purposes only by the Requesting Party, any Person whom
the Requesting Party notifies the Responding Party in its request for the

any such property which becomes the property of Landlord pursuant to this
Paragraph 26.

            27. No Merger of Title. There shall be no merger of the leasehold
estate created by this Lease with the fee estate in any of the Leased Premises
by reason of the fact that the same Person may acquire or hold or own, directly
