     any subsequently acquired or organized domestic Subsidiary to execute each
     applicable Security Document in favor of the Administrative Agent. In
     addition, from time to time, the Borrower will, at its cost and expense,
     promptly secure the Obligations by pledging or creating, or causing to be
     pledged or created, perfected security interests with respect to such of
     its assets and properties as the Administrative Agent or the Required
     Lenders shall designate (other than cash, except for the cash proceeds of
     Collateral to the extent a security interest in such cash proceeds is
     perfected by operation of law as a result of the Secured Parties' security
     interest in such Collateral) it being understood that it is the intent of
     the parties that the Obligations shall be secured by, among other things,
     substantially all the assets of the Borrower (including real and other
     properties acquired subsequent to the Closing Date but excluding cash to
     the extent described in the preceding parenthetical). Such security
     interests and Liens will be created under the Security Documents and other
     security agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust and other instruments and
     documents in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
     Administrative Agent, and the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be
     delivered to the Lenders all such instruments and documents (including
     legal opinions, title insurance policies, environmental assessment reports
     or environmental insurance policies, appraisals, surveys and lien searches)
     as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to evidence compliance
     with this Section. The Borrower agrees to provide such evidence as the
     Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the perfection and
     priority status of each such security interest and Lien.

                 (c) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent with respect
     to (i) any of the properties of the Borrower or any Subsidiary with respect
     to which the Borrower had entered into negotiations for the sale thereof on
     or before December 1, 1997, as indicated on Schedule 1.2(a) (the "Real
     Properties Under Negotiation for Sale"), or (ii) any of the properties of
     the Borrower or any Subsidiary with respect to which the Administrative
     Agent has requested that a Mortgage be executed pursuant to clause (d)
     below, the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the
     Administrative Agent instruments and documents with respect to such

may retain an environment assessment firm to conduct, at the Borrower's expense,
environmental assessments, in form, scope and substance acceptable to the
Administrative Agent, of (i) each Mortgaged Property and (ii) each property of
the Borrower or any Subsidiary that is subject to Liens that secure the Pledged
IRBs, as set forth on Schedule 1.2(a). In addition, with respect to (i) each
Mortgaged Property and (ii) each property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary that
is subject to Liens that secure the Pledged IRBs, as indicated on Schedule

Agent and with such premiums and other terms and providing such coverage as is

to any environmental hazards, liabilities or remedial action to which the
Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries may be subject with respect thereto. The
Administrative Agent shall inform the Borrower on or before December 31, 1997,
whether it will require the Borrower to deliver such environmental insurance
policies.

maintain in effect, with the same level of coverage, any environmental insurance
policies delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (g)(ii) of
this Section 12.

landlord under each lease of a Mortgaged Property and (b) record, with respect
to each Leased Mortgaged Property, the lease or a memorandum thereof in the real
property records where such Leased Mortgaged Property is located.

                  (j) The Borrower hereby agrees that any failure to comply with
the provisions of clauses (b) through (h) of this Section 12 shall be deemed to
be an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement.

                  (k) Notwithstanding any of the provisions of the Credit
Agreement, the
