<PAGE>

dated December 18, 2000 (as the same may from time to time be amended, amended
and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with the terms
thereof and, where applicable, the terms of the other Operative Documents, the
"Registration Rights Agreement") with the Initial Purchasers described therein.
 -----------------------------
Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, if an Exchange Offer is not

annum, which additional interest shall be payable hereon at the times, in the
manner and subject to the same terms and conditions set forth herein and in the
Indenture, as nearly as may be, as though the interest rate set forth above had
been increased by 0.50% per annum. In the event that the Facility Lessee ceases
to maintain its status as a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (such Act, the "Exchange Act" and such cessation, a
                                    ------------
"Reporting Cessation")(it being understood that no Reporting Cessation shall be
 -------------------
deemed to occur if the Securities and Exchange Commission, as from time to time
constituted, created under the Exchange Act, or any successor body will not
accept the information and reports of the Facility Lessee to be filed pursuant
to the Exchange Act), additional interest (in addition to the interest otherwise
payable with respect to this Lessor Note) shall thereafter accrue on this Lessor
Note until but not including the date on which such Reporting Cessation shall
cease to exist (and provided no other Reporting Cessation shall then be
continuing) at a rate of 0.50% per annum, which additional interest shall be
payable hereon at the times, in the manner and subject to the same terms and
conditions set forth herein and in the Indenture, as nearly as may be, as though
the interest rate set forth above had been increased by 0.50% per annum.
Anything in the foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that a
Registration Default and a Reporting Cessation shall have occurred and be
continuing at the same time, the maximum amount of additional interest to accrue
on this Lessor Note as set forth above shall be 0.50% per annum.

         All payments of principal and interest and all other amounts to be
made by the Owner Lessor hereunder or under the Indenture shall be made only
from the income and proceeds from the Indenture Estate and the Owner Lessor and
Lease Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation for the payment thereof except
to the extent that the Lease Indenture Trustee shall have sufficient income or
proceeds from the Indenture Estate to enable such payments to be made in
accordance with the terms of the Indenture. Each holder hereof, by its
acceptance of this Lessor Note, agrees that (a) it will look solely to the
income and proceeds from the Indenture Estate to the extent available for
distribution to the holder hereof as above provided, (b) none of the Lease
Indenture Trustee, Owner Participant, the Equity Investor, any OP Guarantor, the

Trustee, the Owner Participant, the Equity Investor, any OP Guarantor, the Owner
Manager or the Trust Company, or any Affiliate of any thereof.

due hereunder or under the Indenture shall be payable in Dollars by wire

not otherwise specified) or to such other account as the holder hereof shall
have designated to the Owner Lessor in writing. Payment to the Lease Indenture
Trustee must be received by 12:00 (noon), New York time. If any sum payable
hereunder or under the Indenture falls due on a day which is not a Business Day,
then such sum shall be payable on the next succeeding Business Day and, if paid
on such Business Day, the payment thereof shall be without penalty or interest
(unless calculation of such amount is based on actual days elapsed) or other
adjustment.

         The holder hereof, by its acceptance of this Lessor Note, agrees that
each payment of principal and interest or other amounts received by it hereunder
shall be applied, first, to the payment of interest on this Lessor Note (as well
                  -----
as any interest on overdue principal, and, to the extent permitted by law,
interest and other amounts hereunder) due and payable to the date of such
payment as hereinabove provided, second, the payment of the principal of, and
                                 ------
Make-Whole Premium, if any, then due hereunder, and, third, to the extent
                                                     -----
permitted under the Indenture, the balance, if any, remaining thereafter, to the

case the Owner Lessor shall be released and discharged from all such
obligations. In connection with such an assumption, the holder of this Lessor
Note may be required to exchange this Lessor Note for a new Lessor Note
evidencing such assumption.
