                (a)     Traville Facility

                        (i)     Construction Agent shall develop, define, refine
                and detail proposed budgets, construction schedules and Traville
                Plans and Specifications for the Traville Facility. Construction
                Agent shall cause each such proposal to provide for compliance
                and conformance with generally accepted construction practices,
                Applicable Law, Insurance Requirements, Environmental
                Requirements and Section 2.6(a) and shall cause each such
                proposal to have a reasonable likelihood that it can be
                completed as intended on time and within budget. In addition,
                the budget for the Traville Facility shall not exceed Two
                Hundred and Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($225,000,000), except
                as otherwise provided in clause (ii) below. Construction Agent
                shall cause such proposal to be provided to the Construction
                Consultant for review and approval. Upon the approval of any
                such proposal by the Construction Consultant of such proposed
                construction budget, construction schedule or plans and
                specifications for the Traville Facility, such proposed
                construction budget, construction schedule or plans and
                specifications shall become, as applicable, the approved
                construction budget (as amended or modified from time to time in
                accordance with the Terms of this Agreement, the "Approved
                Traville Construction Budget"), the approved construction
                schedule (as amended or modified from time to time in accordance
                with the Terms of this Agreement, the "Approved Traville
                Construction Schedule") and the approved plans and
                specifications (as amended or modified from time to time in
                accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the "Approved
                Traville Plans and Specifications") for the Traville Facility.
                Failure of the Construction Consultant to respond within sixty
                (60) days of receipt in writing of any such proposal will be
                deemed rejection thereof, however, if the Construction
                Consultant requests additional information or clarifications,
                such sixty (60) day period will commence from the date when all
                such requests have been satisfied. If the Construction
                Consultant shall reject or not expressly approve any such
                proposal, then Construction Agent shall consult with the
                Construction Consultant, revise such proposal and resubmit it,
                repeating such process until all Traville Construction Materials
                are approved or deemed to be approved.

                        (ii)    During the Construction Period, Construction
                Agent may enter into any changes, supplements, amendments or
                revisions ("change orders") to the Traville Construction
                Materials so long as the change order could not reasonably have
                any adverse effect on the as-built value, utility, residual
                value at the end of the Lease Term or useful life of the
                Traville Facility or extend Substantial Completion of the
                Property beyond the Outside Completion Date (such a change order
                that results in an adverse affect described above with respect
                to either

                Property, a "Material Change Order"), and the costs attributable
                to such change order, together with the costs of all other
                change orders in respect of the Traville Facility, do not result
                in a net increase in the Approved Traville Construction Budget
                unless and only to the extent that the Approved Manufacturing
                Construction Budget has been decreased by a like amount.

                (b)     Manufacturing Facility

                        (i)     Construction Agent shall develop, define, refine
                and detail proposed budgets, construction schedules and
                Manufacturing Plans and Specifications for the Manufacturing
                Facility. Construction Agent shall cause each such proposal to
                provide for compliance and conformance with generally accepted
                construction practices, Applicable Law, Insurance Requirements,
                Environmental Requirements and Section 2.6(a) and shall cause
                each such proposal to have a reasonable likelihood that it can
                be completed as intended on time and within budget. In addition,
                the budget for the Manufacturing Facility shall not exceed Two
                Hundred and Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($225,000,000), except
                as otherwise provided in clause (ii) below. Construction Agent
                shall cause such proposal to be provided to the Construction
                Consultant for review and approval. Upon the approval of any
                such proposal by the Construction Consultant of such proposed
                construction budget, construction schedule or plans and
                specifications for the Manufacturing Facility, such proposed
                construction budget, (as amended or modified from time to time
                in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the "Approved
                Manufacturing Construction Budget"), the approved construction
                schedule (as amended or modified from time to time in accordance
                with the Terms of this Agreement, the "Approved Manufacturing
                Construction Schedule") and the approved plans and
                specifications (as amended or modified from time to time in
                accordance with the Terms of this Agreement, the "Approved
                Manufacturing Plans and Specifications") for the Manufacturing
                Facility. Failure of the Construction Consultant to respond
                within sixty (60) days of receipt in writing of any such
                proposal will be deemed rejection thereof, however, if the
                Construction Consultant requests additional information or
                clarifications, such sixty (60) day period will commence from
                the date when all such requests have been satisfied. If the
                Construction Consultant shall reject or not expressly approve
                any such proposal, then Construction Agent shall consult with
                the Construction Consultant, revise such proposal and resubmit
                it, repeating such process until all Manufacturing Construction
                Materials are approved or deemed to be approved.

                        (ii)    During the Construction Period, Construction
                Agent may enter into change orders to the Manufacturing
                Construction Materials so long as the costs attributable to such
                change order, together with the costs of all other change orders
                in respect of the Manufacturing Facility, do not result in a net
                increase in the Approved Manufacturing Budget unless and only to
                the extent that the Approved Traville Construction Budget has
                been decreased by a like amount; provided that Material Change
                Orders must comply with clause (iii) below.

                proposal outlining any such proposed change order to the
                Construction Consultant for approval. The approval process for
                Material Change Orders shall allow the Construction Consultant

                reject such submission (or request additional information in
                respect thereof) with a failure to respond after twenty (20)
                days being deemed acceptance thereof.

                (d)     Certifications. Any amendment to either the Traville
        Construction Materials or the Manufacturing Construction Materials for

                Improvements with respect to a Casualty or Condemnation and to
                fund all Construction Period Accrued Interest accruing during
                such Construction or rebuild, provided that the foregoing shall
                not affect Construction Agent's right to purchase the Properties
                in accordance with Article V of the Lease which shall be
                applicable during the Construction Period and is hereby
                incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandi.

                (b)     Neither Construction Agent nor any of its Affiliates or
        agents shall enter into any contract which would impose any liability or
        obligation on Lessor (other than (i) nonrecourse obligations arising out
        of the imposition of certain Permitted Liens identified on Schedules
        2.6(b)(i) and 2.6(b)(ii) hereto and (ii) Lessor's obligation to
        Construction Agent to provide Advances in accordance with and subject to
        the terms and conditions of the Operative Documents).

                (c)     Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement
        and the other Operative Documents, Construction Agent shall have sole
        management and control over the construction means, methods, sequences
        and procedures and the hiring, termination and contracting for and
        supervision of and payment for the labor, personnel and services with
        respect to the Construction; provided, however, that this subsection (c)
        shall not give rise to any rights in any Person other than Lessor, the
        Participants and the other Indemnitees.

                (d)     All fees and expenses of Lessee and Construction Agent
        under any Operative Document which are included in and which may be paid
        in accordance with the Approved Traville Construction Budget or the
        Approved Manufacturing Construction Budget, as applicable, shall be paid
        or reimbursed through Advances.

        2.7     Covenants of Construction Agent. Construction Agent shall with
respect to the Land:

                (a)     following the commencement of Construction, cause the
        Construction to proceed diligently and without material interruption
        (subject to Force Majeure Events) in accordance in all material respects
        with the applicable Construction Materials and Insurance Requirements
        and all Applicable Laws;

                (b)     take or cause to be taken commercially reasonable and
        practical steps to minimize liabilities of Lessor or any Agent or
        Participant, delays, increased costs and the disruption of the
        construction process arising from Force Majeure Events, Casualties and
        Condemnations;

                (c)     subject to Section 3.2(b), cause Substantial Completion
        for a Property to occur on or prior to the applicable Outside Completion
        Date for such Property;

                (d)     cause all Liens (including Liens or claims for materials
        supplied or labor or services performed in connection with the
        construction of the Improvements), other than Permitted Liens, to be
        removed or discharged; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not
        limit Construction Agent's right to engage in Permitted Contests;

                (e)     at all times during Construction, cause title to all
        Improvements on or within the Land (including any personal property
        which Construction Agent acquires with Advances whether or not such
        personal property so acquired has become a permanent part of such
        Improvements) to be and remain vested in Lessor free of all Liens, other
        than Permitted Liens and Lessor Liens, and cause to be on file
        (including financing statements and fixture filings) with the applicable
        filing office all necessary documents under Article 9 of the UCC to
        perfect Lessor's and Administrative Agent's interest in such personalty
        free of all Liens other than Permitted Liens and Lessor Liens unless and
        only for such period of time as Construction Agent is prevented from
        doing the same as the result of the failure of Lessor to sign and return
        any reasonable documentation prepared by Construction Agent in
        performance of this Section;

                (f)     with respect to each Property, at all times prior to the
        Lease Commencement Date for such Property, maintain, for the benefit of
        Lessor, the insurance described in Schedule 2.7(f) with respect to such
        Property. In addition, Construction Agent shall from time to time, but
        in intervals of not less than twelve (12) months nor more than fifteen
        (15) months, (i) undertake all actions and due diligence as reasonably
        necessary to determine whether the insurance coverage required to be
        maintained hereunder is in compliance with the requirements thereunder,
        including any increases in coverage required as a result of any change
        in any Applicable Laws, and (ii) if Construction Agent determines that
        such insurance coverage does not meet such requirements, promptly take
        all actions and steps necessary to cause such coverage to comply with
        such requirements and shall notify Lessor and Administrative Agent of
        the steps being taken by Construction Agent or on their behalf; and

                (g)     Construction Agent shall not incur nor allow the
        incurrence of any Property Costs, individually or in the aggregate, (A)
        in excess of the sum of the Aggregate Available Commitments and Other
        Available Amounts as of the date of determination thereof or (B) that
        would or could reasonably be expected to cause the applicable
        Construction Budget not to be In Balance.

        2.8     Title to the Improvements. Title to the Improvements (including,
all materials or equipment incorporated therein or paid for out of Advances)
shall automatically, without further act of Construction Agent, vest in Lessor.

                                THE IMPROVEMENTS

        3.1     Amendments; Modifications. [Intentionally Omitted.]

        3.2     Casualty, Condemnation, Liquidated Damages and Force Majeure
Events.

                (a)     Subject to Section 3.2(b), if at any time prior to
        Substantial Completion of a Property there occurs a Casualty,
        Condemnation or Force Majeure Event or liquidated damages are paid under
        the Construction Documents, then, in accordance with the procedures for
        making Advances in the Operative Documents, Lessor shall make (x) so
        long as no Construction Agency Event of Default or Bankruptcy Default
        shall have

        occurred and be continuing, insurance proceeds and/or condemnation
        awards and/or liquidated damages with respect thereto available for
        Improvement Costs and (y) Advances for Improvement Costs and
        Construction Agent shall (i) promptly and diligently complete the
        Construction in accordance with the Traville Construction Materials and
        the Manufacturing Construction Materials, as applicable, and with the
        terms hereof and (ii) cause Substantial Completion for each Property to
        occur on or prior to the applicable Outside Completion Date for such
        Property.

                (b)     If Construction Agent reasonably determines that a Force
        Majeure Event will cause Substantial Completion for either Property to
        occur later than the applicable Outside Completion Date for such
        Property, Construction Agent may request that the applicable Outside
        Completion Date for such Property be extended by Lessor for the period
        (not to exceed one hundred and twenty (120) days following the original
        Outside Completion Date for such Property) reasonably necessary to
        achieve Substantial Completion for such Property in light of such Force
        Majeure Event. Any such request shall be in writing delivered to Lessor
        and Administrative Agent and shall contain a certification by
        Construction Agent (1) describing the facts and circumstances giving
        rise to such Force Majeure Event, the expected duration of such Force
        Majeure Event and the date Construction Agent reasonably believes
        Substantial Completion for the applicable Property will be achieved, (2)
        that the remaining Aggregate Available Commitments, together with
        insurance proceeds paid and Other Available Amounts, if any, with
        respect to such Force Majeure Event which Construction Agent agrees to
        pay with respect to amounts accruing during the period of such
        extension, are adequate to achieve Substantial Completion for such
        Property within such extension period in accordance with the Traville
        Construction Materials or the Manufacturing Construction Materials, as
        applicable (excluding all Construction Period Accrued Interest,
        Construction Period Accrued Yield and Construction Period Fees
        applicable to such Property accruing during such extension period) and
        (3) that the occurrence of such Force Majeure Event and the Construction
        to occur following such date will not materially affect the appraised
        value set forth in the applicable As-Built Appraisal delivered with
        respect to such Site pursuant to Section 4.1(s) or 4.3(q), as
        applicable, of the Participation Agreement. Construction Agent shall
        also supply to Lessor and Administrative Agent such other information as
        each such Person may reasonably request. The consent of Lessor under
        this Section shall not be withheld or delayed if the determination is
        made that the request meets the requirements set forth herein in all
        material respects.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, the applicable Outside
Completion Date for such Property shall be automatically extended for the period
(not to exceed a total of sixty (60) days following the original Outside
Completion Date for such Property) necessary to achieve Substantial Completion
for such Property in light of such Force Majeure Event, provided, that (A) the
length of the extension required in light of such Force Majeure Event is certain
(either because the Force Majeure Event has ended or because Construction Agent
has entered into a replacement contract with a definite term (unimpeded by such
Force Majeure Event) to complete the work originally interrupted by the Force
Majeure Event), and (B) Construction Agent delivers to the Administrative Agent
certification (without assumptions or, except as set forth therein,
qualifications) as to and describing the items supporting each of the matters
set forth in

the required extension as provided in clause (A) of this paragraph.

        with such request to the extent provided for under the Participation
        Agreement. Construction Agent and Lessor acknowledge and agree that
        Construction Agent's right to request funds and Lessor's obligation to
        advance funds for the payment of Improvement Costs are subject in all
        respects to the terms of this Agreement, the Participation Agreement and
        each of the other Operative Documents.

                (b)     The proceeds of any funds made available to Lessor under
        the Operative Documents to pay Improvement Costs shall be made available
        to Construction Agent in accordance with the Advance Request relating
        thereto.

                (c)     Construction Agent may disburse proceeds from an Advance
        Request only for payment or its reimbursement of Improvement Costs as
        set forth on the Advance Request or otherwise permitted by the Operative
        Documents.

                (d)     Construction Agent and Lessor, each acknowledge that the
        Administrative Agent or the Investors may direct Lessor to borrow funds
        from the Lenders and the Investors for the payment or reimbursement of
        Transaction Costs and other expenditures, all in accordance with the
        Participation Agreement and the other Operative Documents.

        a "Construction Agency Event of Default":

                        (a)     Construction Agent applies any Advance for the
                purposes other than as set forth in the related Advance Request
                or Construction Agent otherwise applies any funds paid by Lessor
                to Construction Agent for purposes not permitted hereby or by
                any other Operative Document, or there shall exist any other
                misapplication of funds relating to any Property, including, but
                not limited to fraud, illegal acts or willful misconduct by
                Construction Agent or its Affiliates or any Construction Agency
                Person or any other Person under the direct or indirect
                supervision of Construction Agent related to or in respect of
                the transactions contemplated herein or the Operative Documents

                (i) the circumstances rendering such representation or warranty
                or statement incorrect shall not be remediable or, (ii) if such
                representation or warranty or statement is remediable and

                specifying such circumstances and demanding that they be

                capable of cure but cannot be cured by payment of money or
                cannot be cured by diligent efforts within such thirty (30) day
                period but such diligent efforts shall be properly commenced
                within the cure period and Construction Agent or Lessee is

                        (o)     Lessor's rights pursuant to either Liquid
                Collateral Agreement to require Lessee to pledge additional
                Permitted Investments shall for any reason cease to be a legal,
                valid and binding agreement with Lessee; or

                        (p)     the Lien of either Liquid Collateral Agreement
                with respect to the Liquid Collateral shall cease to constitute
                a first priority perfected security interest (except as a result
                of a voluntary release by Administrative Agent of any Liquid

        Event of Default, Lessor may, in addition to the other rights and
        remedies provided for in this Article V or under the Deed of Trust,
        immediately terminate this Agreement, by giving Construction Agent
        written notice of such termination, and upon the giving of such notice,
        this Agreement shall terminate and all rights of Construction Agent and
        all obligations of Lessor under this Agreement shall cease; provided,
        however, that this Agreement shall terminate immediately without notice
        upon the occurrence of an Insolvency Event described in Section 5.1.1(d)
        or upon the occurrence of the events described in Section 5.1.1(i),
        whether or not another Construction Agency Event of Default described in
        one or more other clauses of Section 5.1.1 shall have been or thereafter
        is declared. Upon any such termination, all rights of Construction Agent
        and all obligations of Lessor (after the date of termination and payment
        of the amounts referred to below in this Section 5.1.2), shall cease
        and:

                (i)     Lessor may require Construction Agent to (or shall
        require Construction Agent to, if a Construction Agency Event of Default
        described in Section 5.1.1(d) or 5.1.1(i) has occurred) (subject to
        Section 5.4 below) immediately pay to Administrative Agent, on behalf of
        Lessor, as and for liquidated damages, an amount equal to:

                        (a)     if a Full Recourse Event of Default has
                occurred, (A) the Lease Balance in the event that, as of the
                date of the termination of this Agreement, the Lease
                Commencement Date shall have not yet occurred with respect to
                either Property, (B) the Traville Lease Balance in the event
                that, as of the date of the termination of this Agreement, the

                to the Manufacturing Facility but shall have not yet occurred
                with respect to the Traville Facility, or (C) the Manufacturing
                Lease Balance in the event that, as of the date of the
                termination of this Agreement, the Lease Commencement Date shall

                shall have not yet occurred with respect to the Manufacturing
                Facility; or

                        (b)     if a Full Recourse Event of Default has not
                occurred, (A) the Construction Period Maximum Guaranty Amount in
                the event that, as of the date of the termination of this
                Agreement, the Lease Commencement Date shall have not yet
                occurred with respect to either Property, (B) the Traville

                the Manufacturing Facility but shall have not yet

                occurred with respect to the Traville Facility, or (C) the
                Manufacturing Construction Period Maximum Guaranty Amount in the
                event that, as of the date of the termination of this Agreement,
                the Lease Commencement Date shall have already occurred with
                respect to the Traville Facility but shall have not yet occurred
                with respect to the Manufacturing Facility; and

                        (c)     in addition to any amounts payable pursuant to
                Section 5.1.2(i)(a) or (b), Construction Agent shall pay on the
                payment date all other Supplemental Rent then due and payable.

                (ii)    Construction Agent may at its election, within five (5)
        Business Days after such termination, exercise the option to purchase
        (or in lieu thereof, exercise its rights under Section 8.1.1(b) of the
        Participation Agreement) from Lessor (a) both Properties in the event
        that, as of the date of the termination of this Agreement, the Lease
        Commencement Date shall have not yet occurred with respect to either
        Property, (b) only the Traville Facility in the event that, as of the
        date of the termination of this Agreement, the Lease Commencement Date
        shall have already occurred with respect to the Manufacturing Facility
        but shall have not yet occurred with respect to the Traville Facility,
        or (c) only the Manufacturing Facility in the event that, as of the date
        of the termination of this Agreement, the Lease Commencement Date shall
        have already occurred with respect to the Traville Facility but shall
        have not yet occurred with respect to the Manufacturing Facility, by
        paying immediately upon such exercise an amount equal to the excess of
        (x) (1) in the event that Construction Agent exercises its option to
        purchase both Properties pursuant to clause (ii)(a) above, the aggregate
        Lease Balance, plus, without duplication, any other amounts then due and
        owing under the Operative Documents, as of the date of such payment, (2)
        in the event that Construction Agent exercises its option to purchase
        only the Traville Facility pursuant to clause (ii)(b) above, the
        Traville Lease Balance, plus, without duplication, any other amounts
        then due and owing with respect to the Traville Facility under the
        Operative Documents, as of the date of such payment, or (3) in the event
        that Construction Agent exercises its option to purchase only the
        Manufacturing Facility pursuant to clause (ii)(c) above, the
        Manufacturing Lease Balance, plus, without duplication, any other
        amounts then due and owing with respect to the Manufacturing Facility
        under the Operative Documents, as of the date of such payment, over (y)
        amounts paid by Construction Agent under clause (i) above. Unless
        Construction Agent shall have so exercised the purchase option, Lessor
        shall cause each Property to be sold in accordance with Section 5.3(a).
        If Construction Agent shall have so exercised the purchase option (and
        made all applicable payments in respect thereof), Lessor shall promptly
        convey title to the Improvements applicable to the Property or
        Properties so purchased to Lessee or their designee in accordance with
        Article XV of the Lease assuming for these purposes that said Article of
        the Lease were then applicable.

        5.2     Survival.

                (a)     The termination of this Agreement, in whole or in part,
        pursuant to Section 5.1 shall in no event relieve Construction Agent of
        their liability hereunder which accrued prior to such termination, all
        of which shall survive any such termination.

                                            CONSTRUCTION AGENCY AGREEMENT (HGSI)


                (b)     Construction Agent's right to purchase one or both of
        the Properties within five (5) Business Days following the termination
        of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.1.2 shall survive the
        termination of this Agreement until the termination of such five (5)
        Business Day period.

        5.3     Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. Upon the occurrence and
continuance of a Construction Agency Event of Default, at Lessor's option and
without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any other right or remedy Lessor may
have on account (including, without limitation, any remedies under any other
Operative Document or as set forth in Section 5.1.2), and without any further
demand or notice, but subject to Section 5.4 below and the proviso of the first
sentence of Section 5.1.2 and the second sentence of Section 5.1.2 above, Lessor
may cause the following to occur:

                (a)     Lessor shall have all the rights and may pursue any of
        the remedies hereunder with respect to Construction Period Maximum
        Guaranty Amount as are provided to it in the Lease with respect to the
        payment of Residual Value Guaranty Amount as if those provisions were
        incorporated herein including, Lessor acting as exclusive sales agent
        for the Properties. Lessor and Administrative Agent may foreclose the
        lien of the Lessee Deed of Trust on all or any portion of the Properties
        and other Collateral, including all or any of such Sites and the related
        Deed of Trust. In addition, Lessor may exercise its remedies under the
        Security Agreement.

                (b)     Lessor may continue this Agreement in effect for so long
        as Lessor shall determine, and Lessor may enforce all of Lessor's rights
        and remedies under this Agreement, and require the completion of the
        Improvements by Construction Agent as herein described, so long as
        Lessor satisfies its obligations under Section 4.1 and provides or
        otherwise obtains the funds therefor and advances such funds to
        Construction Agent.

                (c)     Lessor may terminate this Agreement at any time,
        notwithstanding a prior election under Section 5.3(b) to cause the
        completion of the Improvements with respect thereto directly through
        Lessor or one or more successor construction agents.

                (d)     Lessor may exercise any other right or remedy that may
        be available to it under Applicable Laws or in equity, or proceed by
        appropriate court action (legal or equitable) to enforce the terms or to
        recover damages for the breach hereof.

                (e)     Subject to the provisions hereof, as a matter of right
        and with notice to Construction Agent or anyone claiming under
        Construction Agent, and without regard to the then value of the
        Collateral or the interest of any Lessee therein, Lessor shall have the
        right to apply to any court having jurisdiction to appoint a receiver or
        receivers of the Collateral or any portion thereof at Lessee and
        Construction Agent's sole cost and expense (subject to Section 5.4
        hereof), and Construction Agent hereby irrevocably consents to such
        appointment and waive notice of any application therefor. Any such
        receiver or receivers shall have all the usual powers and duties of
        receivers in like or similar cases and all the powers and duties of
        Lessor in case of entry as provided in this Agreement and shall continue
        as such and exercise all such powers until the latest to

        occur of (i) the date of confirmation of sale of the applicable
        Collateral; (ii) the disbursement of all proceeds of such Collateral
        collected by such receiver and the payment of all expenses incurred in
        connection therewith; or (iii) the termination of such receivership with
        the consent of Lessor or pursuant to an order by a court of competent
        jurisdiction.

                (f)     To the extent permitted by, and subject to the mandatory
        requirements of, any Applicable Law, each and every right, power and
        remedy herein specifically given to Lessor or otherwise in this
        Agreement shall be cumulative and, subject to Section 5.4, shall be in
        addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically
        given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and
        each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given
        or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often
        and in such order as may be deemed expedient by Lessor, and the exercise
        or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be
        construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or
        thereafter any other right, power or remedy. Lessor's consent to any
        request made by Construction Agent shall not be deemed to constitute or
        preclude the necessity for obtaining Lessor's consent, in the future, to
        all similar requests. No express or implied waiver by Lessor of any
        Construction Agency Event of Default shall in any way be, or be
        construed to be, a waiver of any future or subsequent Construction
        Agency Event of Default. To the extent permitted by any Applicable Law,
        Construction Agent hereby waives any rights now or hereafter conferred
        by statute or otherwise that may require Lessor to sell, lease or
        otherwise use the Properties, any Site, the other collateral or any part
        thereof in mitigation of Lessor's damages upon the occurrence of a
        Construction Agency Event of Default or that may otherwise limit or
        modify any of Lessor's rights or remedies under this Article V.

                (g)     No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on
        the part of Lessor, any right, remedy, power or privilege under this
        Agreement or under the other Operative Documents shall operate as a
        waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right,
        remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or
        further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy,
        power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided
        in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights,
        remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

                (h)     Upon termination of this Agreement as a result of a
        Construction Agency Event of Default, Construction Agent shall pay on
        behalf of Lessor to the Administrative Agent, for application in
        accordance with Article X of the Participation Agreement, in immediately
        available funds, the Construction Period Maximum Guaranty Amount.

        5.4     Limitation on Recourse Liability of Construction Agent.

                (a)     Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the
        contrary, the aggregate amount payable by Construction Agent on a
        recourse basis under this Article V as the result of the occurrence of a
        Construction Agency Event of Default shall be subject to the limitations
        on the recourse liability of Construction Agent set forth in Section
        11.2 of the Participation Agreement.

                (b)     Lessor's exercise of any remedy provided hereunder or
        otherwise available at law or equity, including any demand for
        reimbursements of amounts expended by or on behalf of Lessor to cure any
        Construction Agency Event of Default shall not impair or otherwise
        reduce Construction Agent's obligation to pay the Construction Period
        Maximum Guaranty Amount and the timely application of such amount to the
        outstanding principal amount and accrued interest thereon under the Loan
        Agreement in accordance with the Participation Agreement.

        5.5     Lessor's Right to Cure Construction Agent's Defaults. Lessor,
without waiving or releasing any obligation or Construction Agency Event of
Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) remedy any Construction
Agency Event of Default, and in furtherance of such right, Lessor may make
Advance Requests, execute Construction Documents and otherwise exercise all
rights and perform all duties of Construction Agent hereunder and Lessee under
the Participation Agreement with respect to the Construction. All reasonable out
of pocket costs and expenses so incurred (including reasonable fees and expenses
of counsel), together with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate from the date on
which such sums or expenses are paid by Lessor, shall (subject to Section 5.4
above) be funded and paid by Lessor through Advances.

        5.6     Determination of Whether Budget is "In Balance".

                (a)     If Administrative Agent determines that either the
        Approved Traville Construction Budget or the Approved Manufacturing
        Construction Budget may not be In Balance, Administrative Agent shall
        give notice to such effect to Construction Agent, together with a
        reasonably detailed explanation of the basis for Administrative Agent's
        determination and to the extent available calculations upon which
        Administrative Agent or the Construction Consultant has based its
        determination. Within ten (10) days following Construction Agent's
        receipt of such notice, Construction Agent shall deliver a certification
        to Administrative Agent that either (i) the Approved Traville
        Construction Budget or the Approved Manufacturing Construction Budget,
        as applicable, is not In Balance and describing the steps Construction
        Agent is taking to remedy such condition, if any, or (ii) the Approved
        Traville Construction Budget or the Approved Manufacturing Construction
        Budget, as applicable, is In Balance and stating sufficient detail to
        describe why Construction Agent believes the Approved Traville
        Construction Budget or the Approved Manufacturing Construction Budget,
        as applicable, is In Balance.

                (b)     If after receipt by Administrative Agent of a
        certification from Construction Agent pursuant to Section 5.6(a)(ii)
        above that the Approved Traville Construction Budget or the Approved
        Manufacturing Construction Budget, as applicable, is In Balance,
        Administrative Agent still disagrees with such certification,
        Construction Agent and Administrative Agent shall, for a period of
        thirty (30) days following Administrative Agent's receipt of such
        certification, consult with each other and use their reasonable efforts
        to resolve such dispute as to whether the applicable Construction Budget
        is In Balance.

                (c)     Upon the occurrence of either (i) Construction Agent's
        delivery of certification pursuant to Section 5.6(a)(i) above that the
        Approved Traville Construction Budget or the Approved Manufacturing
        Construction Budget, as applicable, is not In

        Balance, or (ii) the thirty (30) day consultation period referred to in
        Section 5.6(b) above shall expire and any Agent shall continue to
        disagree with Construction Agent's assertion that the Approved Traville
        Construction Budget or the Approved Manufacturing Construction Budget,
        as applicable, is In Balance, Lessor shall have the option, exercisable
        in its sole discretion upon notice to Construction Agent, to require
        Construction Agent to deposit (a "Balancing Deposit) with Lessor within
        five (5) Business Days an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the amount
        which if paid to Construction Agent would, together with any Available
        Commitments and Other Available Proceeds, be sufficient to make the
        Approved Traville Construction Budget or the Approved Manufacturing
        Construction Budget, as applicable, In Balance and (y) the Construction
        Period Maximum Guaranty Amount.

                (d)     In the event that Construction Agent is required to make
        a Balancing Deposit pursuant to Section 5.6(c) above, such Balancing
        Deposit shall evidence a portion of the Construction Period Maximum
        Guaranty Amount and any amounts withdrawn from the Balancing Deposit to
        fund Property Costs shall reduce dollar for dollar the Construction
        Period Maximum Guaranty Amount.

        5.7     Limitations on Construction Agent's Liability. In any action or
proceeding involving any state law, any federal bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization law, or any other law affecting the rights of creditors
generally, if the obligations of Construction Agent under the Operative
Documents would otherwise be held or determined to be voidable, invalid or
unenforceable as a fraudulent transfer or otherwise as a result or on account of
the amount of its liability under the Operative Documents, then, notwithstanding
any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall,
without any further action by Construction Agent or any other Person, be
automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount which is valid and
enforceable.

                           NO CONSTRUCTION AGENCY FEE

        Construction Agent shall not be entitled to, and Lessor shall have no
obligation to pay, any agency fee or other fee or compensation, and no such
Person shall not be entitled to, and Lessor shall have no obligation to make or
pay, any reimbursement therefor. It being understood that this Agreement is
being entered into as consideration for and as an inducement to Lessor and the
Participants entering into the Lease and the other Operative Documents.

                                   ARTICLE VII
