     all, but not less than all, of the Properties and that Lessor
     and Lessee have executed and delivered this Lease with the
     understanding that this Lease constitutes a unitary,
     unseverable instrument pertaining to all, but not less than

     duties, obligations or rights of Lessee may be allocated or

     lease, capital lease, mortgage, equitable mortgage, deed of
     trust, trust agreement, security agreement or other financing
     or trust arrangement, and the economic realities of this
     Lease are those of a true lease; and

         (iii) the business relationship created by this Lease and
     any related documents is solely that of a long-term
     commercial lease between landlord and tenant and has been

     and legal bargains contained herein.

<PAGE>

     B.     Lessor and Lessee acknowledge and agree that the Lease Term,
including any term extensions provided for in this Lease, is less than
the remaining economic life of each of the Properties.

     C.     Lessee waives any claim or defense based upon the
characterization of this Lease as anything other than a true lease and
irrevocably waives any claim or defense which asserts that this Lease is
anything other than a true lease.  Lessee covenants and agrees that it
will not assert that this Lease is anything but a true lease. Lessee
stipulates and agrees not to challenge the validity, enforceability or
characterization of the lease of the Properties as a true lease and
further stipulates and agrees that nothing contained in this Lease
creates or is intended to create a joint venture, partnership (either de
jure or de facto), equitable mortgage, trust, financing device or
arrangement, security interest or the like.  Lessee shall support the
intent of the parties that the lease of the Properties pursuant to this
Lease is a true lease and does not create a joint venture, partnership
(either de jure or de facto), equitable mortgage, trust, financing
device or arrangement, security interest or the like, if, and to the
extent that, any challenge occurs.

     D.     Lessee waives any claim or defense based upon the
characterization of this Lease as anything other than a master lease of
all of the Properties and irrevocably waives any claim or defense which
asserts that this Lease is anything other than a master lease.  Lessee
covenants and agrees that it will not assert that this Lease is anything
but a unitary, unseverable instrument pertaining to the lease of all,
but not less than all, of the Properties. Lessee stipulates and agrees
not to challenge the validity, enforceability or characterization of the
lease of the Properties as a unitary, unseverable instrument pertaining
to the lease of all, but not less than all, of the Properties.  Lessee
shall support the intent of the parties that this Lease is a unitary,
unseverable instrument pertaining to the lease of all, but not less than
all, of the Properties, if, and to the extent that, any challenge
occurs.

     E.     Lessee represents and warrants to Lessor that (i) the Base
Annual Rental is the fair market value for the use of the Properties and
was agreed to by Lessor and Lessee on that basis, and (ii) the
execution, delivery and performance by Lessee of this Lease does not
constitute a transfer of all or any part of the Properties.

     F.     The expressions of intent, the waivers, the representations
and warranties, the covenants, the agreements and the stipulations set
forth in this Section are a material inducement to Lessor entering into
this Lease.

     4.     Lease Term.  The Lease Term for all of the Properties shall
commence as of the Effective Date and shall expire on October 31, 2020,
unless terminated sooner as provided in this Lease and as may be
extended for one initial period of ten years and two subsequent periods
of five years each as set forth in Section 27 below.  The time period
during which this Lease shall actually be in effect is referred to
herein as the "Lease Term."

     5.     Rental and Other Payments.  A.  If the Effective Date is a
date other than the first day of the month, Lessee shall pay Lessor on
the Effective Date the Base Monthly Rental prorated on the basis of the
ratio that the number of days from the Effective Date through the last
day in the month containing the Effective Date bears to the number of
days in such month.  Thereafter, on or before the first day of each
succeeding calendar month, Lessee shall pay Lessor in advance the Base
Monthly Rental.

Lease which are not specifically referred to as rent ("Additional

Additional Rental as those provided herein for the nonpayment of Base
Annual Rental.

     being liable for any obligations or indebtedness of Lessor.

          (ii)     Lessee shall not and shall use its best efforts

     described in this Lease will be maintained by Lessee.

          (vii)     All transactions between Lessee and Lessor
     will be no less fair to each party than they could obtain on
     an arm's-length basis.

          (viii)    The books, records and accounts of Lessee
     shall at all times be maintained in a manner permitting the
     assets and liabilities of Lessor to be easily separated and
     readily ascertained from those of Lessee.

     Mortgages and/or any of the Loan

     Documents, or any or all
     servicing rights with respect thereto, including, without
     limitation, (i) providing such documents, financial and other
     data, and other information and materials (the "Disclosures")
     which would typically be required with respect to Lessee by a
     purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant,
     investor or rating agency involved with respect to such
     Transfer, Participation and/or Securitization, as applicable;
     provided, however, Lessee shall not be required to make
     disclosures of any confidential information or any
     information which has not previously been made public unless
     required by applicable federal or state securities laws and,
     provided further, that any such purchaser, transferee,
     assignee, servicer or participant shall agree to maintain the
     confidentiality of any non-public financial and other data
     and information provided by Lessee; and (ii) amending the
     terms of this Lease to the extent necessary so as to satisfy
     the requirements of purchasers, transferees, assignees,
     servicers, participants, investors or selected rating
     agencies involved in any such Transfer, Participation or
     Securitization, so long as such amendments would not have a
     material adverse effect upon Lessee or the transactions
     contemplated by this Lease or materially increase Lessee's
     liabilities hereunder.

          (ii)     Lessee consents to Lessor and Lender providing
     the Disclosures, as well as any other information which
     Lessor and Lender may now have or hereafter acquire with
     respect to the Properties or the financial condition of
     Lessee to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer,
     participant, investor or rating agency involved with respect
     to such Transfer, Participation and/or Securitization, as
     applicable.  Lessee shall pay its own attorney fees and other
     out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the
     performance of its obligations under this Section 8.E as long
     as such performance would not result in  fees and expenses in
     any calendar year exceeding $15,000.

          F.     Compliance Certificate.  Within  50 days after
     the end of each Fiscal Quarter (other than the last Fiscal
     Quarter of a Fiscal Year) and within 100 days after the end
     of each Fiscal Year of Lessee, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor
     such compliance certificates as Lessor may reasonably require
     in order to establish that Lessee is in compliance in all
     material respects with all of the obligations, duties and
     covenants imposed on Lessee pursuant to this Lease.

     9.     Rentals To Be Net to Lessor.  The Base Annual Rental payable
hereunder shall be net to Lessor, so that this Lease shall yield to
Lessor the rentals specified during the Lease Term, and that all costs,
expenses and obligations of every kind and nature whatsoever relating to
the Properties shall be performed and paid by Lessee.  Lessor will pay
its own internal overhead costs, its own in-house legal fees and its own
accounting fees, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

     10.    Taxes and Assessments.  Lessee shall pay, prior to the
earlier of delinquency or the accrual of interest on the unpaid balance,
all taxes and assessments of every type or nature assessed against,
imposed upon or arising with respect to any of the Properties, this
Lease, the rental or other payments due under this Lease or Lessee
during the Lease Term which affect in any manner the net return realized
by Lessor under this Lease, including, without limitation, the
following:

                            15
<PAGE>


          A.     All taxes and assessments upon any of the
     Properties or any part thereof (including, without
     limitation, the Personalty), whether belonging to Lessor or
     Lessee, or any tax or charge levied in lieu of such taxes and
     assessments;

          B.     All taxes, charges, license fees and or similar
     fees imposed by reason of the use of any of the Properties by
     Lessee; and

          C.     All excise, transaction, privilege, license,
     sales, use and other taxes upon the rental or other payments
     due under this Lease, the leasehold estate of either party or
     the activities of either party pursuant to this Lease.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, but without limiting the preceding
obligation of Lessee to pay all taxes which are imposed on the rental or
other payments due under this Lease, in no event will Lessee be required
to pay any net income taxes (i.e., taxes which are determined taking
into account deductions for depreciation, interest, taxes and ordinary
and necessary business expenses) or franchise taxes (unless imposed in
lieu of other taxes that would otherwise be the obligation of Lessee
under this Lease, including, without limitation, any "gross receipts
tax" or any similar tax based upon gross income or receipts of Lessor
which does not take into account deductions from depreciation, interest,
taxes and/or ordinary or necessary business expenses) of Lessor, any
transfer taxes of Lessor, or any tax imposed with respect to the sale,
exchange or other disposition by Lessor, in whole or in part, of any of
the Properties or Lessor's interest in this Lease (other than transfer
or recordation taxes imposed in connection with the transfer of any of
the Properties to Lessee, the substitution of a Substitute Property or
the termination of this Lease pursuant to the provisions of this Lease).


     All taxing authorities shall be instructed by Lessee or, upon
Lessee's request, Lessor to send all tax and assessment invoices to
Lessee and Lessee shall promptly provide Lessor and Lender with copies
of all tax and assessment invoices received by Lessee.  Upon request,
Lessee shall also provide Lessor and Lender with evidence that such
invoices were paid in a timely fashion.  Lessee may, at its own expense,
contest or cause to be contested (in the case of any item involving more
than $10,000.00, after prior written notice to Lessor), by appropriate
legal proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the
amount or validity or application, in whole or in part, of any item
specified in this Section or lien therefor, provided that (i) such
proceeding shall suspend the collection thereof from the applicable
Properties or any interest therein, (ii) neither such Properties nor any
interest therein would be in any danger of being sold, forfeited or lost
by reason of such proceedings, (iii) no Event of Default has occurred,
and (iv) Lessee shall have deposited with Lessor adequate reserves for
the payment of the taxes, together with all interest and penalties
thereon, unless paid in full under protest, or Lessee shall have
furnished the security as may be required in the proceeding or as may be
required by Lessor to ensure payment of any contested taxes.  As long as
no Event of Default exists, any reduction in tax attributable to such
contested action which is paid to Lessor shall be paid to Lessee.

     11.     Utilities.  Lessee shall contract, in its own name, for and
pay when due all charges for the connection and use of water, gas,
electricity, telephone, garbage collection, sewer use and other utility
services supplied to the Properties during the Lease Term.  Under no
circumstances shall Lessor be responsible for any interruption of any
utility service or any such other services.

          covered by any standard mortgage clause endorsement;

               (v)     Provide that the insurer shall not have the
          option to restore the applicable Properties if Lessor or
          Lessee elects to terminate this Lease in accordance with
          the terms hereof;

               (vi)    Be insured or reinsured by insurance
          companies licensed to do business in the states in which

          or suspended by any foreclosure or other proceedings
          relating to any of the Properties or change in title
          to or ownership of any of the Properties.

     It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing minimum
limits of insurance coverage shall not limit the liability of Lessee for
its acts or omissions as provided in this Lease.  All insurance policies
(with the exception of worker's compensation insurance to the extent not
available under statutory law), shall designate Lessor, Remainderman and
Lender as additional named insureds as their interests may appear and
shall be payable as set forth in Section 21 hereof.  All such policies
shall be written as primary policies, with deductibles not to exceed 10%
of the amount of coverage; provided, however, that at all times while
Lessee maintains a FIFO-based net worth in excess of $100,000,000 (as
calculated in accordance with Section 8.C), Lessee may self-insure or
maintain deductibles on (i) replacement value property insurance in an
amount not to exceed $2,000,000 per occurrence, and (ii) general
liability insurance in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000 per
occurrence.  Any other policies, including any policy now or hereafter
carried by Lessor, Remainderman or Lender, shall serve as excess
coverage.  Lessee shall procure policies for all insurance for periods
of not less than one year and shall provide to Lessor, Remainderman and
Lender certificates of insurance or, upon the request of Lessor,
Remainderman or Lender, duplicate originals of insurance policies
evidencing that insurance satisfying the requirements of this Lease is
in effect at all times.  In the event of any transfer by Lessor of
Lessor's interest in any of the Properties or any financing or
refinancing of Lessor's interest in any of the Properties, or by
Remainderman of Remainderman's interest in any of the Properties, Lessee
shall, upon not less than ten (10) days' prior written notice, deliver
to Lessor and Remainderman or any Lender providing such financing or
refinancing, as the case may be, certificates of all insurance required
to be maintained by Lessee hereunder naming such transferee or such
Lender, as the

                             18
<PAGE>

case may be, as an additional named insured to the extent required
herein effective as of the date of such transfer, financing or
refinancing.

     13.     Tax and Insurance Impound.  Upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default resulting from the failure of Lessee to perform any monetary
obligation due under this Lease, including, without limitation, the
failure to pay Base Annual Rental, Additional Rental and/or taxes,
assessments and/or insurance premiums as contemplated by this Lease,
Lessor may require Lessee to pay to Lessor sums which will provide an
impound account (which shall not be deemed a trust fund) for paying up
to the next one year of taxes, assessments and/or insurance premiums for
each of the Properties.  Upon such requirement, Lessor will estimate the
amounts needed for such purposes and will notify Lessee to pay the same
to Lessor in equal monthly installments, as nearly as practicable, in
addition to all other sums due under this Lease.  Should additional
funds be required at any time, Lessee shall pay the same to Lessor on
demand.  Lessee shall advise Lessor of all taxes and insurance bills
which are due and shall cooperate fully with Lessor in assuring that the
same are paid timely.  Lessor will deposit all impounded funds in
accounts insured by any federal or state agency and may not commingle
such funds with other funds and accounts of Lessor.  Interest or other
gains from such funds, if any, shall be the sole property of Lessor.  In
the event of any default by Lessee which is not cured within any
applicable grace period, Lessor may apply all impounded funds against
any sums due from Lessee to Lessor.  Lessor shall give to Lessee an
annual accounting showing all credits and debits to and from such
impounded funds received from Lessee.

     14.     Payment of Rental and Other Sums.  All rental and other
sums which Lessee is required to pay hereunder shall be the
unconditional obligation of Lessee and shall be payable in full when due
without any setoff, abatement, deferment, deduction or counterclaim
whatsoever.  Upon execution of this Lease, Lessee shall establish
arrangements whereby payments of the Base Monthly Rental and impound
payments, if any, are transferred by wire or other means directly from
Lessee's bank account to such account as Lessor may designate.  Any
delinquent payment (that is, any payment not made within five calendar
days after the date when due) shall, in addition to any other remedy of
Lessor, incur a late charge of 5% (which late charge is intended to
compensate Lessor for the cost of handling and processing such
delinquent payment and should not be considered interest) and bear
interest at the Default Rate, such interest to be computed from and
including the date such payment was due through and including the date
of the payment; provided, however, in no event shall Lessee be obligated
to pay a sum of late charge and interest higher than the maximum legal
rate then in effect.

     15.     Use.  Except as set forth below, each of the Properties
shall be used solely for the operation of a Permitted Facility in
accordance with the standards of operations then in effect on a system-
wide basis, and for no other purpose.  Lessee shall occupy the
Properties promptly following the Effective Date and, except as set
forth below and except during periods when any of the Properties is
untenantable by reason of a Casualty or Taking (provided, however,
during all such periods while any of the Properties is untenantable,
Lessee shall strictly comply with the terms and conditions of Section 21
of this Lease), Lessee shall at all times during the Lease Term occupy
each of the Properties and shall diligently conduct its business on each
of the Properties as a Permitted Facility.  Unless Lessor's prior
written consent is obtained (which consent may be withheld or
conditioned by Lessor in its sole discretion), Lessee may cease diligent
operation of business at any of the Properties for a period not to
exceed 90 days and may do so only once with
                             19

<PAGE>

respect to each Property within any five-year period during the Lease
Term.  If Lessee does discontinue operation as permitted by this
Section, Lessee shall (i) give written notice to Lessor within 10 days
after Lessee elects to cease operation, (ii) provide adequate protection
and maintenance of any such Properties during any period of vacancy,
(iii) comply with all Applicable Regulations and otherwise comply with
the terms and conditions of this Lease other than the continuous use
covenant set forth in this Section, and (iv) pay all costs necessary to
restore such Properties to their condition on the day operation of the
business ceased at such time as such Properties are reopened for
Lessee's business operations or other substituted use approved by Lessor
as contemplated below.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
Lessee shall pay the Base Monthly Rental on the first day of each month
during any period in which Lessee discontinues operation.

     Lessee shall not, by itself or through any assignment, sublease or
other type of transfer, convert any of the Properties to a use other
than a Permitted Facility during the Lease Term without Lessor's
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. conditioned
or delayed.  Lessor may consider any or all of the following in
determining whether to grant its consent, without being deemed to be
unreasonable:  (i) whether the rental paid to Lessor would be equal to
or greater than the anticipated rental assuming continued existing use,
(ii) whether the proposed rental to be paid to Lessor is reasonable
considering the converted use of the Properties and the customary rental
prevailing in the community for such use, (iii) whether the converted
use will be consistent with the highest and best use of the Properties,
and (iv) whether the converted use will increase Lessor's risks or
decrease the value of the Properties.

     16.     Compliance with Laws, Restrictions, Covenants and
             Encumbrances.
     A. Lessee's use and occupation of each of the Properties, and the
condition thereof, shall, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, comply with
all Applicable Regulations and all restrictions, covenants and
encumbrances of record with respect to each of the Properties.  In
addition to the other requirements of this Section, Lessee shall, at all
times throughout the Lease Term, comply with all Applicable Regulations,
including, without limitation, in connection with any maintenance,
repairs and replacements of the Properties undertaken by Lessee as
required by Section 17 of this Lease.

     B.     Lessee will not permit any act or condition to exist on or
about any of the Properties which will increase any insurance rate
thereon, except when such acts are required in the normal course of its
business and Lessee shall pay for such increase.

     C.     Without limiting the generality of the other provisions of
this Section, Lessee agrees that it shall be responsible for complying
in all respects with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as
such act may be amended from time to time, and all regulations
promulgated thereunder (collectively, the "ADA"), as it affects the
Properties, including, but not limited to, making required "readily
achievable" changes to remove any architectural or communications
barriers, and providing auxiliary aides and services within the
Properties.  Lessee further agrees that any and all alterations made to
the Properties during the Lease Term will comply with the requirements
of the ADA.  All plans for alterations which must be submitted to Lessor
under the provisions of Section 18 must include a statement from a
licensed architect or engineer certifying that he or she has reviewed
the plans, and that the plans comply with all applicable provisions of
the ADA.  Any subsequent approval or consent to the plans by Lessor
                             20

<PAGE>

shall not be deemed to be a representation of Lessor's part that the
plans comply with the ADA, which obligation shall remain with Lessee.
Lessee agrees that it will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the
Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses caused by,
incurred or resulting from Lessee's failure to comply with its
obligations under this Section.

     D.     Lessee represents and warrants to Lessor and Environmental
Insurer as follows as of the Effective Date:

          (i)     To the best of Lessee's knowledge and except
     as disclosed in the Questionnaires, none of the Properties
     nor Lessee are in violation of, or subject to, any pending or
     threatened investigation or inquiry by any Governmental
     Authority or to any remedial obligations under any past or
     present Environmental Laws, and this representation and
     warranty would continue to be true and correct following
     disclosure to the applicable Governmental Authorities of all
     relevant facts, conditions and circumstances, if any,
     pertaining to the Properties.

          (ii)    To the best of Lessee's knowledge and except
     as disclosed in the Questionnaires, no permits, licenses or
     similar authorizations to construct, occupy, operate or use
     any buildings, improvements, fixtures and equipment forming
     a part of any of the Properties by reason of any past or
     present Environmental Laws have been obtained or are
     required to be obtained.

          (iii)   To the best of Lessee's knowledge and except
     as disclosed in the Questionnaires, no Hazardous Materials or
     Regulated Substances have been used, handled, manufactured,
     generated, produced, stored, treated, processed, transferred,
     disposed of or otherwise Released in, on, under, from or
     about any of the Properties, other than in Permitted Amounts.

          (iv)    To the best of Lessee's knowledge and except
     as disclosed in the Questionnaires, the Properties do not
     contain Hazardous Materials or Regulated Substances, other
     than in Permitted Amounts, and all USTs located on or about
     any of the Properties are in full compliance with all
     existing Environmental Laws.

          (v)     To the best of Lessee's knowledge and except as
     disclosed in the Questionnaires, there is no threat of any
     Release migrating to any of the Properties.

          (vi)    To the best of Lessee's knowledge and except as
     disclosed in the Questionnaires, there is no past or present
     non-compliance with past or present Environmental Laws, or
     with permits issued pursuant thereto, in connection with any
     of the Properties.

          (vii)   Except as disclosed in the Questionnaires,
     Lessee has not received any written or oral notice or other
     communication from any person or entity (including but not
     limited to a Governmental Authority) relating to Hazardous
     Materials, Regulated Substances or USTs (other than in
     Permitted Amounts), Remediation, possible liability of any
     person or entity pursuant to any past or present
     Environmental Law, other environmental conditions in
     connection with any of the Properties, or any actual or
     potential administrative or judicial proceedings in
     connection with any of the foregoing.

                             21
<PAGE>

          (viii)  Lessee has truthfully and fully provided or made
     available to Lessor, in writing, any and all information
     relating to environmental conditions in, on, under or from
     the Properties that is known to Lessee and that is contained
     in Lessee's files and records, including but not limited to
     any reports relating to Hazardous Materials, Regulated
     Substances or USTs in, on, under or from any of the
     Properties.

          (ix)     To the best of Lessee's knowledge and except as
     disclosed in the Questionnaires: all uses and operations on
     or of the Properties, whether by Lessee or any other person
     or entity, have been in compliance with all past and
     present Environmental Laws and permits issued pursuant
     thereto; there have been no Releases in, on, under or from
     any of the Properties, except in Permitted Amounts; there
     are no Hazardous Materials or Regulated Substances in, on,
     or under any of the Properties, except in Permitted
     Amounts; and the Properties have been kept free and clear
     of all liens and other encumbrances imposed pursuant to any
     past or present Environmental Law (the "Environmental
     Liens").  Lessee has not allowed any tenant or other user
     of any of the Properties to do any act that materially
     increased the dangers to human health or the environment,
     posed an unreasonable risk of harm to any person or entity
     (whether on or off the Properties), impaired the value of
     any of the Properties, is contrary to any requirement of
     any insurer, constituted a public or private nuisance,
     constituted waste, or violated any covenant, condition,
     agreement or easement applicable to any of the Properties.

     E.     Lessee covenants to Lessor and Environmental Insurer during
the Lease Term that: (i) the Properties shall not be in violation of any
investigation or inquiry by any Governmental Authority or any remedial
obligations under any Environmental Laws.  If any investigation or
inquiry is initiated by a Governmental Authority, Lessee shall promptly
notify Lessor; (ii) all uses and operations on or of each of the
Properties, whether by Lessee or any other person or entity, shall be in
compliance with all Environmental Laws and permits issued pursuant
thereto; (iii) there shall be no Releases in, on, under or from any of
the Properties, except in Permitted Amounts; (iv) there shall be no
Hazardous Materials or Regulated Substances in, on, or under any of the
Properties, except in Permitted Amounts; (v) Lessee shall keep each of
the Properties free and clear of all Environmental Liens, whether due to
any act or omission of Lessee or any other person or entity; (vi) Lessee
shall, at its sole cost and expense, fully and expeditiously cooperate
in all activities pursuant to subsection F below, including but not
limited to providing all relevant information and making knowledgeable
persons available for interviews; (vii) Lessee shall, at its sole cost
and expense, perform any environmental site assessment or other
investigation of environmental conditions in connection with any of the
Properties as may be reasonably requested by Lessor (including but not
limited to sampling, testing and analysis of soil, water, air, building
materials and other materials and substances whether solid, liquid or
gas), and share with Lessor and Environmental Insurer the reports and
other results thereof, and Lessor, Environmental Insurer and the other
Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to rely on such reports and other
results thereof; (viii) Lessee shall, at no cost and expense to Lessor
or Lender, comply with all reasonable written requests of Lessor to (1)
reasonably effectuate Remediation of any condition (including but not
limited to a Release) in, on, under or from any of the Properties or
cause such Remediation to be reasonably effectuated; (2) comply with any
Environmental Law; (3) comply with any directive from any Governmental
Authority; and (4) take any other reasonable action necessary or
appropriate for protection of human health or the environment; (ix)
Lessee shall not do or allow any
                             22

<PAGE>

tenant or other user of any of the Properties to do any act that
materially increases the dangers to human health or the environment,
poses an unreasonable risk of harm to any person or entity (whether on
or off any of the Properties), impairs or may impair the value of any of
the Properties, is contrary to any requirement of any insurer,
constitutes a public or private nuisance, constitutes waste, or violates
any covenant, condition, agreement or easement applicable to any of the
Properties; and (x) Lessee shall immediately notify Lessor in writing of
(A) any presence of Releases or Threatened Releases in, on, under, from
or migrating towards any of the Properties; (B) any non-compliance with
any Environmental Laws related in any way to any of the Properties; (C)
any actual or potential Environmental Lien; (D) any required or proposed
Remediation of environmental conditions relating to any of the
Properties; and (E) any written or oral notice or other communication of
which Lessee becomes aware from any source whatsoever (including but not
limited to a Governmental Authority) relating in any way to Hazardous
Materials, Regulated Substances or USTs (other than in Permitted
Amounts), Remediation, possible liability of any person or entity
pursuant to any Environmental Law, other environmental conditions in
connection with any of the Properties, or any actual or potential
administrative or judicial proceedings in connection with anything
referred to in this Section.

     F.     Lessor, Lender, Environmental Insurer and any other person
or entity designated by Lessor, including but not limited to any
receiver, any representative of a Governmental Authority, and any
environmental consultant, shall have the right, but not the obligation,
to enter upon the Properties at all reasonable times (including, without
limitation, in connection with any Securitization, Participation or
Transfer or in connection with a proposed sale or conveyance of any of
the Properties or a proposed financing or refinancing secured by any of
the Properties or in connection with the exercise of any remedies set
forth in this Lease, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents, as
applicable) to assess any and all aspects of the environmental condition
of the Properties and its use, including but not limited to conducting
any environmental assessment or audit (the scope of which shall be
determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the party conducting
the assessment) and taking samples of soil, groundwater or other water,
air, or building materials, and conducting other invasive testing;
provided, however, that any such persons (except in emergencies) shall
use reasonable efforts to undertake any such assessments or
investigations so as to minimize the impact on Lessee's business
operations at the Properties.  Lessee shall cooperate with and provide
access to Lessor, Lender, Environmental Insurer and any other person or
entity designated by Lessor.  Any such assessment and investigation
shall be at Lessor's sole cost and expense unless, at the time of any
such assessment or investigation, an Event of Default has occurred or
Lessor has a reasonable basis for believing that a violation of
Environmental Laws may have occurred, in which case Lessee shall be
responsible for the cost of any such assessment or investigation.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, however, such access and investigation
shall be limited to one time in any calendar year except in cases where
more frequent access and investigation is reasonably necessary under the
circumstances.

     G.     Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, protect, defend,
indemnify, release and hold harmless each of the Indemnified Parties
for, from and against any and all Losses (excluding Losses suffered by
an Indemnified Party directly arising out of such Indemnified Party's
gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that the term
"gross negligence" shall not include gross negligence imputed as a
matter of law to any of the Indemnified Parties solely by reason of the
Lessor's interest in any of the Properties or Lessor's failure to act in
respect of matters which are or were the obligation of Lessee under this
Lease) and costs of Remediation (whether or

                             23

<PAGE>

not performed voluntarily), engineers' fees, environmental consultants'
fees, and costs of investigation (including but not limited to sampling,
testing, and analysis of soil, water, air, building materials and other
materials and substances whether solid, liquid or gas) imposed upon or
suffered by or asserted against any Indemnified Parties by any
Governmental Authority or non-Indemnified Party, and arising out of or
in any way relating to any one or more of the following: (i) any
presence of any Hazardous Materials, Regulated Substances or USTs in,
on, above, or under any of the Properties; (ii) any past or present
Release or Threatened Release in, on, above, under or from any of the
Properties; (iii) any activity by Lessee, any person or entity
affiliated with Lessee or any other tenant or other user of any of the
Properties in connection with any actual, proposed or threatened use,
treatment, storage, holding, existence, disposition or other Release,
generation, production, manufacturing, processing, refining, control,
management, abatement, removal, handling, transfer or transportation to
or from any of the Properties of any Hazardous Materials, Regulated
Substances or USTs at any time located in, under, on or above any of the
Properties; (iv) any activity by Lessee, any person or entity affiliated
with Lessee or any other tenant or other user of any of the Properties
in connection with any actual or proposed Remediation of any Hazardous
Materials, Regulated Substances or USTs at any time located in, under,
on or above any of the Properties, whether or not such Remediation is
voluntary or pursuant to court or administrative order, including but
not limited to any removal, remedial or corrective action; (v) any past,
present or threatened non-compliance or violations of any Environmental
Laws (or permits issued pursuant to any Environmental Law) in connection
with any of the Properties or operations thereon, including but not
limited to any failure by Lessee, any person or entity affiliated with
Lessee or any other tenant or other user of any of the Properties to
comply with any order of any Governmental Authority in connection with
any Environmental Laws; (vi) the imposition, recording or filing or the
threatened imposition, recording or filing of any Environmental Lien
encumbering any of the Properties; (vii) any administrative processes or
proceedings or judicial proceedings in any way connected with any matter
addressed in this Section; (viii) any past, present or threatened injury
to, destruction of or loss of natural resources in any way connected
with any of the Properties, including but not limited to costs to
investigate and assess such injury, destruction or loss; (ix) any acts
of Lessee, any person or entity affiliated with Lessee or any other
tenant or user of any of the Properties in arranging for disposal or
treatment, or arranging with a transporter for transport for disposal or
treatment, of Hazardous Materials, Regulated Substances or USTs owned or
possessed by Lessee, any person or entity affiliated with Lessee or any
other tenant or user of any of the Properties, at any facility or
incineration vessel owned or operated by another person or entity and
containing such or similar Hazardous Materials, Regulated Substances or
USTs; (x) any acts of Lessee, any person or entity affiliated with
Lessee or any other tenant or user of any of the Properties, in
accepting any Hazardous Materials, Regulated Substances or USTs for
transport to disposal or treatment facilities, incineration vessels or
sites selected by Lessee, any person or entity affiliated with Lessee or
any other tenant or user of any of the Properties, from which there is a
Release, or a Threatened Release of any Hazardous Materials or Regulated
Substances which causes the incurrence of costs for Remediation; (xi)
any personal injury, wrongful death, or property damage arising under
any statutory or common law or tort law theory, including but not
limited to damages assessed for the maintenance of a private or public
nuisance or for the conducting of an abnormally dangerous activity on or
near any of the Properties; and (xii) any misrepresentation or
inaccuracy in any representation or warranty or material breach or
failure to perform any covenants or other obligations pursuant to this
Section.

                             24

<PAGE>


     H.     (i) At its sole cost and expense, Lessee shall have each of
the Properties inspected as may be required by any Environmental Law for
seepage, spillage and other environmental concerns.  Lessee shall
maintain and monitor the USTs in accordance with all Environmental Laws.
 Lessee shall provide Lessor with written certified results of all
inspections performed on each of the Properties.  All costs and expenses
associated with the inspection, preparation and certification of
results, as well as those associated with any corrective action, shall
be paid by Lessee.  All inspections and tests performed on the
Properties shall be in compliance with all Environmental Laws.

     (ii)     Lessee shall comply or cause the compliance with all
applicable federal, state and local regulations and requirements
regarding USTs including, without limitation, any of such regulations or
requirements which impose (1) technical standards, including, without
limitation, performance, leak prevention, leak detection, notification
reporting and recordkeeping, (2) corrective action with respect to
confirmed and suspected Releases, and (3) financial responsibility for
the payment of costs of corrective action and compensation to third
parties for injury and damage resulting from Releases.  Lessee shall
immediately notify Lessor, in writing, of (A) the presence on or under
any of the Properties of any Hazardous Materials or Regulated Substances
other than in Permitted Amounts, or the escape, seepage, leakage,
spillage, discharge, emission or release from any USTs on, above or
under any of the Properties of any Hazardous Materials or Regulated
Substances, apparent or real, other than in Permitted Amounts, and (B)
any and all enforcement, clean-up, remedial, removal or other
governmental or regulatory actions threatened, instituted or completed
pursuant to any of the Environmental Laws affecting any of the
Properties.

     (iii)    Upon any Release, escape, seepage, leakage, spillage,
discharge, emission or release from any USTs on, above or under any of
the Properties of any Hazardous Materials or Regulated Substances (other
than in Permitted Amounts), Lessee shall immediately remedy such
situation in accordance with all Environmental Laws and any request of
Lessor.  Should Lessee fail to remedy or cause the remedy of such
situation in accordance with all Environmental Laws, Lessor shall be
permitted to take such actions in its sole discretion to remedy such
situation and any costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith
will be paid by Lessee.

     I.     Lessee represents that, as of the Effective Date, Lessee is
in compliance with the requirements of 40 C.F.R. Section 298 Subpart H -
Financial Responsibility (or equivalent state law) with respect to those
petroleum underground storage tanks or storage tank systems (as those
terms are defined under 40 C.F.R. Section 290.12 or equivalent state
law) located at the Properties.  Lessee agrees to satisfy the
requirements for financial responsibility set forth in 40 C.F.R. Section
280.93 (or equivalent state law) during the term of this Lease.  Lessee
agrees to specifically designate Lessor (or at the direction of Lessor,
Lender) as the beneficiary of such insurance, guarantee, bond, letter of
credit or trust fund as is used to satisfy the obligations of 40 C.F.R.
Section 280.93 (or equivalent state law) and to provide Lessor with
proof of that designation.  In the event Lessee changes its method of
establishing financial responsibility under 40 C.F.R. Section 280.93 (or
equivalent state law), Lessee agrees to re-designate Lessor (or at the
direction of Lessor, Lender) as beneficiary under the new mechanism used
to establish compliance with 40 C.F.R. Section 280.93 (or equivalent
state law) and to provide documentation of that fact to Lessor within 10
days of that re-designation.

                             25

<PAGE>


     J.     The obligations of Lessee and the rights and remedies of the
Indemnified Parties under the foregoing subsections D through I shall
survive the termination, expiration and/or release of this Lease.

     K.     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Lease, an Event of Default shall not be deemed to have occurred under
this Lease or any of the other Sale-Leaseback Documents as a result of
the failure of Lessee to comply with any of the covenants set forth in
subsections A, E or H by reason of a Release at any of the Properties in
violation of Environmental Laws so long as Lessee diligently pursues an
agreement with the applicable Governmental Authorities with respect to
the Remediation of such Release and, once such agreement is in place,
completes such Remediation within the time period required by such
Governmental Authorities.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such
agreement allows for the Remediation to be completed after the
expiration of the Lease Term, Lessee shall use its best efforts to
complete such Remediation prior to the end of the Lease Term and, if
Lessee is unable to complete such Remediation by the expiration of the
Lease Term despite its best efforts to do so, Lessee shall post, at the
expiration of the Lease Term, such security with Lessor as Lessor may
reasonably require to ensure the completion of such Remediation within
the time period required by the applicable Governmental Authorities.

     L.     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Lease, an Event of Default shall not be deemed to have occurred under
this Lease or any of the other Sale-Leaseback Documents as a result of
the failure of Lessee to comply with any of the covenants set forth in
subsections A or C by reason of any violation of Applicable Regulations
(other than those violations which would be covered under subsection K
above) if Lessee diligently pursues an agreement with the applicable
Governmental Authorities with respect to the time period in which such
violation may be cured and, once such agreement is in place, completes
such cure within the time period required by such Governmental
Authorities.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such agreement allows
for such cure to be completed after the expiration of the Lease Term,
Lessee shall use its best efforts to complete such cure prior to the end
of the Lease Term and, if Lessee is unable to complete such cure by the
expiration of the Lease Term despite its best efforts to do so, Lessee
shall post, at the expiration of the Lease Term, such security with
Lessor as Lessor may reasonably require to ensure the completion of such
cure within the time period required by the applicable Governmental
Authorities.

     17.     Condition of Properties; Maintenance.  Lessee, at its own
expense, will maintain all parts of each of the Properties in good
repair and sound condition, except for ordinary wear and tear, and will
take all action and will make all structural and non-structural,
foreseen and unforeseen and ordinary and extraordinary changes and
repairs or replacements which may be required to keep all parts of each
of the Properties in good repair and sound condition.  Lessee waives any
right to (i) require Lessor to maintain, repair or rebuild all or any
part of any of the Properties or (ii) make repairs at the expense of
Lessor, pursuant to any Applicable Regulations at any time in effect.
At all times during the Lease Term, all personal property necessary to
operate a Permitted Facility shall be maintained by Lessee at the
Properties in such condition and repair as is consistent with Lessee's
standards currently in effect for a Permitted Facility.

                             26

     18.     Waste; Alterations and Improvements.  Lessee shall not
commit actual or constructive waste upon any of the Properties.  Lessee
shall not alter in any material respect the exterior, structural,
plumbing or electrical elements of any of the Properties in any manner
without the consent of Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed (it being understood and agreed that to
the extent Lessor is required to obtain the approval of Lender with
respect to any such alterations, Lessor shall in no event be deemed to
have unreasonably withheld Lessor's approval thereof if Lender shall not
have given its approval if required); provided, however, Lessee may
undertake nonstructural alterations to any of the Properties costing
less than $150,000.00 without Lessor's consent.  If Lessor's consent is
required hereunder and Lessor consents to the making of any such
alterations (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed), the same shall be made according to plans and
specifications approved by Lessor and subject to such other conditions
as Lessor shall require.  All alterations shall be made by Lessee at
Lessee's sole expense by licensed contractors and in accordance with all
applicable laws governing such alterations.  Any work at any time
commenced by Lessee on any of the Properties shall be prosecuted
diligently to completion, shall be of good workmanship and materials and
shall comply fully with all the terms of this Lease.  Upon completion of
any alterations, Lessee shall promptly provide Lessor with (i) evidence
of full payment to all laborers and materialmen contributing to the
alterations, (ii) an architect's certificate certifying the alterations
to have been completed in conformity with the plans and specifications,
(iii) a certificate of occupancy (if the alterations are of such a
nature as would require the issuance of a certificate of occupancy), and
(iv) any other documents or information reasonably requested by Lessor.
 Any addition to or alteration of any of the Properties shall
automatically be deemed a part of the Properties and belong to Lessor,
and Lessee shall execute and deliver to Lessor such instruments as
Lessor may require to evidence the ownership by Lessor of such addition
or alteration.  Lessee shall execute and file or record, as appropriate,
a "Notice of Non-Responsibility," or any equivalent notice permitted
under applicable law in the states where the applicable Properties are
located.

     19.     Indemnification.  Lessee shall indemnify, protect, defend
and hold harmless each of the Indemnified Parties from and against any
and all Losses (excluding Losses suffered by an Indemnified Party
arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the term "gross negligence"
shall not include gross negligence imputed as a matter of law to any of
the Indemnified Parties solely by reason of the Lessor's interest in any
of the Properties or Lessor's failure to act in respect of matters which
are or were the obligation of Lessee under this Lease) caused by,
incurred or resulting from Lessee's operations of or relating in any
manner to any of the Properties during or prior to the Lease Term,
whether relating to their original design or construction, latent
defects, alteration, maintenance, use by Lessee or any person thereon,
supervision or otherwise, or from any breach of, default under, or
failure to perform, any term or provision of this Lease by Lessee, its
officers, employees, agents or other persons, or to which any
Indemnified Party is subject because of Lessor's or Remainderman's
interest in any of the Properties, including, without limitation, Losses
arising from (1) any accident, injury to or death of any person or loss
of or damage to property occurring in, on or about any of the Properties
or portion thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, parking areas,
streets or ways, (2) any use, non-use or condition in, on or about, or
possession, alteration, repair, operation, maintenance or management of,
any of the Properties or any portion thereof or on the adjoining
sidewalks, curbs, parking areas, streets or ways, (3) any representation
or warranty made herein by Lessee, in any certificate delivered in
connection

                             27

<PAGE>


herewith or in any other agreement to which Lessee is a party or
pursuant thereto being false or misleading in any material respect as of
the date of such representation or warranty was made, (4) performance of
any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other
property in respect to any of the Properties or any portion thereof, (5)
any taxes, assessments or other charges which Lessee is required to pay
under Section 10, (6) any lien, encumbrance or claim arising on or
against any of the Properties or any portion thereof under any
Applicable Regulation or otherwise which Lessee is obligated hereunder
to remove and discharge, or the failure to comply with any Applicable
Regulation, (7) the claims of any invitees, patrons, licensees or
subtenants of all or any portion of any of the Properties or any Person
acting through or under Lessee or otherwise acting under or as a
consequence of this Lease or any sublease, (8) any act or omission of
Lessee or its agents, contractors, licensees, subtenants or invitees,
(9) any contest referred to in Section 10, and (10) the sale of liquor,
beer or wine on any of the Properties.  It is expressly understood and
agreed that Lessee's obligations under this Section shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease for any reason.

     20.     Quiet Enjoyment.  So long as Lessee shall pay the rental
and other sums herein provided and shall keep and perform all of the
terms, covenants and conditions on its part herein contained, Lessee
shall have, subject and subordinate to Lessor's rights herein, the right
to the peaceful and quiet occupancy of the Properties.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, however, in no event shall Lessee be entitled to bring
any action against Lessor to enforce its rights hereunder if an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

     21.     Condemnation or Destruction.  A.  Notice of Taking or
Casualty.  In the event of a taking of all or any part of any of the
Properties for any public or quasi-public purpose by any lawful power or
authority by exercise of the right of condemnation or eminent domain or
by agreement between Lessor, Lessee and those authorized to exercise
such right ("Taking") or the commencement of any proceedings or
negotiations which might result in a Taking or any damage to or
destruction of any of the Properties or any part thereof as a result of
a fire or other casualty (a "Casualty"), Lessee will promptly give
written notice thereof to Lessor, generally describing the nature and
extent of such Taking, proceedings, negotiations or Casualty and
including copies of any documents or notices received in connection
therewith.  Thereafter, Lessee shall promptly send Lessor copies of all
correspondence and pleadings relating to any such Taking, proceedings,
negotiations or Casualty.  During all periods of time following a
Casualty, Lessee shall insure that the subject Property is secure and
does not pose any risk of harm to adjoining property owners or occupants
or third-parties.

     B.     Assignment of Awards, Insurance Proceeds and Payments.  In
the event of a Material Taking or a Material Casualty, Lessor shall be
entitled to receive the entire award, insurance proceeds or payment in
connection therewith, except as set forth below, without deduction for
any estate vested in Lessee by this Lease.  Lessee hereby expressly
assigns to Lessor all of its right, title and interest in and to every
such award, insurance proceeds or payment and agrees that Lessee shall
not be entitled to any award, insurance proceeds or payment for the
value of Lessee's leasehold interest in this Lease.  With respect to a
Material Taking, Lessee shall be entitled to claim and receive any award
or payment from the condemning authority expressly granted for the
taking of Excluded Personalty, the interruption of its business and
moving expenses, but only if such claim or award does not adversely
affect or interfere with the prosecution of Lessor's claim for the
Material Taking or otherwise reduce the amount

                             28

<PAGE>


recoverable by Lessor for the Material Taking.  With respect to a
Material Casualty, Lessee shall be entitled to claim and receive any
insurance proceeds with respect to the Excluded Personalty, the
interruption of its business and moving expenses, but only if such claim
or proceeds does not adversely affect or interfere with the prosecution
of Lessor's claim for the Material Casualty or otherwise reduce the
amount recoverable by Lessor for the Material Casualty.

     C.     Material Taking or Material Casualty.  In the event of a
Material Taking or Material Casualty, Lessee shall have the right to
terminate this Lease with respect to the applicable Property by notice
(the "Termination Notice") given to Lessor not later than 30 days after
the Material Taking or Material Casualty, as applicable.  The
Termination Notice must: (i) specify a date on which this Lease with
respect to such Property shall terminate, which date shall be the last
day of a calendar month occurring not earlier than 120 days and not
later than 150 days after the delivery of such notice (the "Early
Termination Date"); (ii) contain a certificate executed by the
president, chief financial officer or treasurer of Lessee which (X)
describes the facts relating to the Material Taking or Material
Casualty, and (Y) represents and warrants that such facts constitute a
Material Taking or Material Casualty as such terms are defined in this
Lease; and (iii) if the Early Termination Date shall occur prior to the
commencement of any extension options which may be exercised pursuant to
Section 27, contain either (X) an irrevocable rejectable written offer
(the "Rejectable Offer") of Lessee to purchase Lessor's interest in such
Property and in the net award for such Material Taking or net insurance
proceeds for such Material Casualty, as applicable, after deducting all
costs, fees and expenses incident to the collection thereof, including
all costs and expenses incurred by Lessor and Lender in connection
therewith (the "Net Award") on the Early Termination Date for a purchase
price equal to the Stipulated Loss Value (as hereinafter defined) for
such Property, or (Y) a Rejectable Substitution Offer to substitute a
Substitute Property satisfying the applicable requirements of Section
55.A for such Property and Lessor's interest in the Net Award.  As used
herein, the term "Stipulated Loss Value" shall mean the sum of (a) the
product of the percentage specified on Schedule I attached hereto which
corresponds to the Early Termination Date multiplied by the Purchase
Price for such Property, plus (b) all Base Annual Rental, Additional
Rental and other sums and obligations then due and payable under this
Lease, plus (c) the Prepayment Charge corresponding to such Property.

     If the Early Termination Date shall occur prior to the commencement
of any extension options which may be exercised pursuant to Section 27,
Lessor shall have 90 days from the delivery of the Termination Notice to
deliver to Lessee written notice of its election to either accept or
reject any Rejectable Offer or Rejectable Substitution Offer contained
in the Termination Notice.  Lessor's failure to deliver such notice
within such time period shall be deemed to constitute Lessor's
acceptance of the applicable Rejectable Offer or Rejectable Substitution
Offer.  If the Mortgage corresponding to such Property is still
outstanding, any rejection of the Rejectable Offer or Rejectable
Substitution Offer by Lessor shall not be effective unless it is
consented to in writing by the Lender and such written consent is
delivered to Lessee within such 90-day period.

     If Lessor accepts the Rejectable Offer or is deemed to have
accepted the Rejectable Offer or if, while the Mortgage corresponding to
such Property is still outstanding, any rejection of the Rejectable
Offer by Lessor is not consented to in writing by the Lender, then, on
the Early Termination Date, Lessor shall sell and convey, and Lessee
shall purchase for the purchase price

                             29

<PAGE>


described above, Lessor's interest in such Property and the Net Award.
Lessee's obligations under this Lease with respect to such Property
shall not be terminated until the applicable Stipulated Loss Value is
paid in full.  Upon such payment, (i) Lessor shall convey such Property
to Lessee "as-is" by special warranty deed, subject to all matters of
record (except for (X) the Mortgage corresponding to such Property, (Y)
any other consensual liens granted by Lessor with respect to such
Property other than those granted by Lessor at the request, or with the
consent, of Lessee, and (Z) any non-consensual liens against Lessor
which encumber such Property and which do not result from Lessee's
failure to perform its obligations under this Lease), and without
representation or warranty, and (ii) all obligations of either party
hereunder with respect to such Property shall cease as of the Early
Termination Date, provided, however, Lessee's obligations to the
Indemnified Parties under any indemnification provisions of this Lease
with respect to such Property (including, without limitation, Sections
16 and 19) and Lessee's obligations to pay any sums (whether payable to
Lessor or a third party) accruing under this Lease with respect to such
Property prior to the Early Termination Date shall survive the
termination of this Lease with respect to such Property.  This Lease
shall, however, continue in full force and effect with respect to all
other Properties.

     If Lessor accepts the Rejectable Substitution Offer or is deemed to
have accepted the Rejectable Substitution Offer or if, while the
Mortgage corresponding to such Property is still outstanding, any
rejection of the Rejectable Substitution Offer by Lessor is not
consented to in writing by the Lender, then, on the Early Termination
Date, Lessee shall complete such substitution, subject, however, to the
satisfaction of each of the applicable terms and conditions set forth in
Section 55.  Upon such substitution (i) Lessee shall be entitled to
claim and receive the Net Award and (ii) all obligations of either party
hereunder with respect to the Property being replaced shall cease as of
the Early Termination Date, provided, however, Lessee's obligations to
the Indemnified Parties under any indemnification provisions of this
Lease with respect to such Property (including, without limitation,
Sections 16 and 19) and Lessee's obligations to pay any sums (whether
payable to Lessor or a third party) accruing under this Lease with
respect to such Property prior to the Early Termination Date shall
survive the termination of this Lease with respect to such Property.
This Lease shall, however, continue in full force and effect with
respect to all other Properties.

     Lessee shall be solely responsible for the payment of all costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the conveyance of a Property to
Lessee pursuant to this Section 21.C, including, without limitation, to
the extent applicable, the cost of title insurance, survey charges,
stamp taxes, mortgage taxes, transfer fees, escrow and recording fees,
taxes imposed on Lessor as a result of such conveyance, taxes imposed in
connection with the transfer of a Property to Lessee or the termination
of this Lease with respect to a Property pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 21.C, Lessee's attorneys' fees and the reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses of counsel to Lessor and Lender.

     If Lessor rejects the Rejectable Offer or Rejectable Substitution
Offer and, as long as the Mortgage corresponding to the Property subject
to such Rejectable Offer or Rejectable Substitution Offer is still
outstanding, such rejection is consented to in writing by Lender (and
such written consent delivered to Lessee within the applicable 90-day
period), or if the Early Termination Date shall occur after the
commencement of any extension options exercised pursuant to Section 27,
then (i) the Net Award shall be paid to and belong to Lessor, (ii) on
the

                             30

<PAGE>


Early Termination Date, Lessee shall pay to Lessor all Base Annual
Rental, Additional Rental and other sums and obligations then due and
payable under this Lease, and (iii) all obligations of either party
hereunder shall cease as of the Early Termination Date with respect to
the applicable Property, provided, however, Lessee's obligations to the
Indemnified Parties with respect to such Property under any
indemnification provisions of this Lease with respect to such Property
(including, without limitation, Sections 16 and 19) and Lessee's
obligations to pay any sums (whether payable to Lessor or a third party)
accruing under this Lease with respect to such Property prior to the
Early Termination Date shall survive the termination of this Lease.
This Lease shall, however, continue in full force and effect with
respect to all other Properties.

     D.     Temporary Taking.  In the event of a Taking of all or any
part of any of the Properties for a temporary use ("Temporary Taking"),
this Lease shall remain in full force and effect without any reduction
of Base Annual Rental, Additional Rental or any other sum payable
hereunder.  Except as provided below, Lessee shall be entitled to the
entire award for a Temporary Taking, whether paid by damages, rent or
otherwise, unless the period of occupation and use by the condemning
authorities shall extend beyond the date of expiration of this Lease, in
which case the award made for such Taking shall be apportioned between
Lessor and Lessee as of the date of such expiration.  At the termination
of any such Temporary Taking, Lessee will, at its own cost and expense
and pursuant to the terms of Section 18 above, promptly commence and
complete the restoration of the Property affected by such Temporary
Taking; provided, however, Lessee shall not be required to restore such
Property if the Lease Term shall expire prior to, or within one year
after, the date of termination of such Temporary Taking, and in such
event Lessor shall be entitled to recover the entire award relating to
the Temporary Taking.

     E.     Partial Taking or Partial Casualty.  In the event of a
Taking which is not a Material Taking or a Temporary Taking ("Partial
Taking") or of a Casualty which is not a Material Casualty (a "Partial
Casualty"), all awards, compensation or damages shall be paid to Lessor,
and Lessor shall have the option to (i) terminate this Lease with
respect to the Property affected, provided that, as long as the Mortgage
corresponding to the applicable Property is still outstanding, Lessor
shall have obtained Lender's prior written consent, by notifying Lessee
within 60 days after Lessee gives Lessor notice of the Partial Taking or
Partial Casualty or (ii) continue this Lease in effect, which election
may be evidenced by either a notice from Lessor to Lessee or Lessor's
failure to notify Lessee that Lessor has elected to terminate this Lease
with respect to such Property within such 60-day period.  Lessee shall
have a period of 60 days after Lessor's notice that it has elected to
terminate this Lease with respect to such Property during which to elect
to continue this Lease with respect to such Property on the terms herein
provided.  If Lessor elects to terminate this Lease with respect to such
Property and Lessee does not elect to continue this Lease with respect
to such Property or shall fail during such 60-day period to notify
Lessor of Lessee's intent to continue this Lease with respect to such
Property, then this Lease shall terminate with respect to such Property
as of the last day of the month during which such period expired.
Lessee shall then immediately vacate and surrender such Property, all
obligations of either party hereunder with respect to such Property
shall cease as of the date of termination (provided, however, Lessee's
obligations to the Indemnified Parties under any indemnification
provisions of this Lease with respect to such Property (including,
without limitation, Sections 16 and 19) and Lessee's obligations to pay
Base Annual Rental, Additional Rental and all other sums (whether
payable to Lessor or a third party) accruing under this Lease with
respect to such Property prior to the date of termination shall survive
such termination) and

                             31

<PAGE>


Lessor may retain all such awards, compensation or damages.  The Lease
shall continue in full force and effect with respect to all other
Properties.  If Lessor elects not to terminate this Lease with respect
to such Property, or if Lessor elects to terminate this Lease with
respect to such Property but Lessee elects to continue this Lease with
respect to such Property, then this Lease shall continue in full force
and effect on the following terms:  (i) all Base Annual Rental,
Additional Rental and other sums and obligations due under this Lease
shall continue unabated, and (ii) Lessee shall promptly commence and
diligently prosecute restoration of such Property to the same condition,
as nearly as practicable, as prior to such Partial Taking or Partial
Casualty as approved by Lessor.  Subject to reasonable conditions for
disbursement imposed by Lessor, Lessor shall promptly make available in
installments as restoration progresses an amount up to but not exceeding
the amount of any award, compensation or damages received by Lessor
after deducting all costs, fees and expenses incident to the collection
thereof, including all costs and expenses incurred by Lessor and Lender
in connection therewith (the "Net Restoration Amount"), upon request of
Lessee accompanied by evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lessor that
such amount has been paid or is due and payable and is properly a part
of such costs and that Lessee has complied with the terms of Section 18
above in connection with the restoration.  Prior to the disbursement of
any portion of the Net Restoration Amount with respect to a Partial
Casualty, Lessee shall provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to
Lessor of the payment of restoration expenses by Lessee up to the amount
of the insurance deductible applicable to such Partial Casualty.  Lessor
shall be entitled to keep any portion of the Net Restoration Amount
which may be in excess of the cost of restoration, and Lessee shall bear
all additional costs, fees and expenses of such restoration in excess of
the Net Restoration Amount.  If this Lease is terminated with respect to
any Property as a result of a Partial Casualty, simultaneously with such
termination Lessee shall pay Lessor an amount equal to the insurance
deductible applicable to such Partial Casualty.

     F.     Rent Reduction.  In the event of a termination of this Lease
with respect to a Property pursuant to Section 21.C which does involve
the acceptance (or deemed acceptance) of a Rejectable Substitution Offer
or a termination of this Lease with respect to a Property pursuant to
Section 21.E, the Base Annual Rental then in effect shall be reduced by
an amount equal to the product of (x) the Applicable Rent Reduction
Percentage for such Property, and (y) the Base Annual Rental then in
effect.

     G.     Adjustment of Losses.  Any loss under any property damage
insurance required to be maintained by Lessee shall be adjusted by
Lessor and Lessee.  Any award relating to a Taking shall be adjusted by
Lessor or, at Lessor's election, Lessee.  Notwithstanding the foregoing
or any other provisions of this Section to the contrary, if at the time
of any Taking or any Casualty or at any time thereafter Lessee shall be
in default under this Lease and such default shall be continuing, Lessor
is hereby authorized and empowered but shall not be obligated, in the
name and on behalf of Lessee and otherwise, to file and prosecute
Lessee's claim, if any, for an award on account of such Taking or for
insurance proceeds on account of such Casualty and to collect such award
or proceeds and apply the same, after deducting all costs, fees and
expenses incident to the collection thereof, to the curing of such
default and any other then existing default under this Lease and/or to
the payment of any amounts owed by Lessee to Lessor under this Lease, in
such order, priority and proportions as Lessor in its discretion shall
deem proper.

                             32

<PAGE>


     H.     No Limitation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in
this Section 21 shall be construed as limiting or otherwise adversely
affecting the representations, warranties, covenants and
characterizations set forth in Lease, including, without limitation,
those provisions set forth in Section 3 of this Lease.

     22.     Inspection.   Lessor and its authorized representatives
shall have the right, upon giving reasonable advance notice, to enter
any of the Properties or any part thereof at reasonable times in order
to inspect the same and make photographic or other evidence concerning
Lessee's compliance with the terms of this Lease or in order to show the
Properties to prospective purchasers and lenders.  Lessee hereby waives
any claim for damages for any injury or inconvenience to or interference
with Lessee's business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of any
of the Properties and any other loss occasioned by such entry so long as
Lessor shall have used reasonable efforts not to unreasonably interrupt
Lessee's normal business operations.  Lessee shall keep and maintain at
the Properties or Lessee's corporate headquarters full, complete and
appropriate books of account and records of Lessee's business relating
to the Properties in accordance with GAAP.  Lessee's books and records
shall at all times be open for inspection by Lessor, Lender and their
respective auditors or other authorized representatives and shall show
such information as is reasonably necessary to determine compliance with
Lessor's obligations under the Loan Documents.

     23.     Default, Remedies and Measure of Damages.  A. Each of the
following shall be an event of default under this Lease (each, an "Event
of Default"):

          (i)     If any representation or warranty of Lessee set
     forth in this Lease is false in any material respect, or if
     Lessee renders any statement or account which is false in any
     material respect;

         (ii)    If any rent or other monetary sum due under this
     Lease is not paid within five days from the date when due and
     Lessor shall have given Lessee notice thereof and a period of
     five days from the delivery of such notice shall have elapsed
     without such payment being made;

         (iii)   If Lessee fails to pay, prior to delinquency, any
     taxes, assessments or other charges, the failure of which to
     pay will result in the imposition of a lien against any of
     the Properties or the rental or other payments due under this
     Lease or a claim against Lessor, unless Lessee is contesting
     such taxes, assessments or other charges in accordance with
     the provisions of Section 10 of this Lease;

         (iv)    If Lessee becomes insolvent within the meaning
     of the Code, files or notifies Lessor that it intends to file
     a petition under the Code, initiates a proceeding under any
     similar law or statute relating to bankruptcy, insolvency,
     reorganization, winding up or adjustment of debts
     (collectively, hereinafter, an "Action"), becomes the subject
     of either a petition under the Code or an Action which is not
     dissolved within 90 days after filing, or is not generally
     paying its debts as the same become due;

         (v)    If Lessee vacates or abandons any of the
     Properties other than in accordance with the provisions of
     Section 15 of this Lease;

                             33

<PAGE>


         (vi)   If there shall be a breach of the provisions of
     Section 8.C hereof;

         (vii)  If Lessee shall fail to maintain insurance in
     accordance with the requirements of Section 12 and such
     failure continues for 5 days;

         (viii) If Lessee fails to observe or perform any of the
     other covenants (except with respect to a breach of the
     Corporate Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio or Aggregate Fixed
     Charge Coverage Ratio, which breach is addressed in subitem
     (xi) below), conditions or obligations of this Lease;
     provided, however, if any such failure does not involve the
     payment of any monetary sum, is not willful or intentional,
     does not place any rights or property of Lessor in immediate
     jeopardy, and is within the reasonable power of Lessee to
     promptly cure after receipt of notice thereof, all as
     determined by Lessor in its reasonable discretion, then such
     failure shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder,
     unless otherwise expressly provided herein, unless and until
     Lessor shall have given Lessee notice thereof and a period of
     30 days shall have elapsed, during which period Lessee may
     correct or cure such failure, upon failure of which an Event
     of Default shall be deemed to have occurred hereunder without
     further notice or demand of any kind being required.  If such
     failure cannot reasonably be cured within such 30 day period,
     as determined by Lessor in its reasonable discretion, and
     Lessee is diligently pursuing a cure of such failure, then
     Lessee shall have a reasonable period to cure such failure
     beyond such 30 day period, which shall in no event exceed 90
     days after receiving notice of such failure from Lessor.  If
     Lessee shall fail to correct or cure such failure within such
     90-day period, an Event of Default shall be deemed to have
     occurred hereunder without further notice or demand of any
     kind being required;

         (ix)   If there is an "Event of Default" or a breach or
     default, after the passage of all applicable notice and
     cure or grace periods, under any other Sale-Leaseback
     Document or any of the Other Agreements;

         (x)    If a final, nonappealable judgment is rendered by
     a court against Lessee which has a material adverse effect on
     either the ability to conduct business at any of the
     Properties for its intended use or Lessee's ability to
     perform its obligations under this Lease, or is in the amount
     of $500,000.00 or more and is not covered by insurance, and
     in either event is not discharged or provision made for such
     discharge or bonded over within 60 days from the date of
     entry thereof;

         (xi)   If there is a breach of both the Corporate Fixed
     Charge Coverage Ratio and Aggregate Fixed Charge Coverage
     Ratio requirements and Lessor shall have given Lessee notice
     thereof; provided, however, Lessee shall have the option, but
     not the obligation, to cure such breach by delivering to
     Lessor, within a period of 30 days from the delivery of such
     notice (the "30 Day Cure Period"), a letter of credit in
     favor of Lessor (or, at Lessor's written direction, in favor
     of Lender) substantially in the form attached to this Lease
     as Exhibit B issued by an Approved Institution (the "Letter
     of Credit") in such amount as is necessary to cause the
     Aggregate Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the 12 Month Period
     for which such breach occurred to be in compliance with the
     Aggregate Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio requirement, assuming
     that the Letter of Credit was utilized to increase Net
     Property Income.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee may
     not provide a Letter of Credit to cure a breach of the
     Aggregate Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio requirement if the
     amount of the

                             34

<PAGE>


     Letter of Credit, when added to the aggregate
     amount of all Letters of Credit previously delivered to
     Lessor and still outstanding, would exceed the Base Annual
     Rental.  If Lessor posts the aggregate amount of all Letters
     of Credit permitted to be posted pursuant to the preceding
     sentence and such amount is not sufficient to cause the
     Aggregate Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the 12 Month Period
     for which such breach occurred to be in compliance with the
     Aggregate Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio requirement (assuming
     that the Letters of Credit were utilized to increase Net
     Property Income), Lessee shall have the option, but not the
     obligation, to cure such breach within the 30 Day Cure Period
     by prepaying Base Monthly Rental (a "Prepayment of Rent") in
     such amount, assuming that the Letter(s) of Credit delivered
     above was utilized to increase Net Property Income, as is
     necessary to cause the Aggregate Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
     for the 12 Month Period for which such breach occurred to be
     in compliance with the Aggregate Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
     requirement.

          In the event Lessee elects to make a Prepayment of
     Rent as herein provided, Base Monthly Rental due and
     payable from and after the next scheduled Base Monthly
     Rental payment date shall be reduced by an amount equal to
     the Base Monthly Rental then in effect multiplied by a
     fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the Base
     Monthly Rental prepaid and the denominator of which is the
     sum of the Purchase Price for all of the Properties.

          Any Letter of Credit delivered pursuant to this Section
     23.A(xi) shall be maintained in effect until the next 12
     Month Period for which Lessee complies with the Corporate
     Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio or Aggregate Fixed Charge
     Coverage Ratio requirement without taking such Letter of
     Credit into account.  During the continuance of an Event of
     Default, Lessor shall have the right to present such Letter
     of Credit for payment and apply such proceeds towards any
     amounts owed by Lessee under Section 23.B as a result of such
     Event of Default, provided that such application of proceeds
     shall not be deemed to cure such Event of Default if the
     amount of the Letter of Credit is less than the amount owed
     by Lessee under Section 23.B as a result of such Event of
     Default.  Also, if a substitute or replacement Letter of
     Credit issued by an Approved Institution for such Letter of
     Credit in the amount of such Letter of Credit is not provided
     to Lessor at least 30 days prior to the scheduled expiration
     date of such Letter of Credit, Lessor shall have the right to
     present such Letter of Credit for payment at any time within
     such 30 day period and the proceeds of such Letter of Credit
     shall be held by Lessor as security for the payment of the
     Base Annual Rental due and payable under this Lease.  Once
     there occurs a 12 Month Period for which Lessee complies with
     the Corporate Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio or Aggregate Fixed
     Charge Coverage Ratio requirement without taking such Letter
     of Credit into account, Lessor shall release such Letter of
     Credit to the Approved Institution or, if Lessor is holding
     the proceeds of such Letter of Credit, deliver such proceeds
     to Lessee.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, prior to the
     expiration of the 30 Day Cure Period, Lessee provides
     evidence satisfactory to Lessor that the Aggregate Fixed
     Charge Coverage Ratio is at least 1.25:1 for the twelve
     calendar month period immediately preceding the delivery to
     Lessor of such evidence, no Event of Default shall be
     deemed to have occurred as a result of such breach of the
     Aggregate Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio requirement.

                             35

<PAGE>

          If there is a breach of the Corporate Fixed Charge
     Coverage Ratio requirement, Lessor shall have no remedies
     against Lessee under this Lease by reason of such breach
     unless there is a breach of the Aggregate Fixed Charge
     Coverage Ratio requirement for the corresponding period.

          (xii)   If Lessee shall fail to sign any instrument or
     certificate in accordance with the provisions of Section 25
     of this Lease and such failure shall not be cured within five
     days following notice from Lessor.

     B.   Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, with or
     without notice or demand, except the notice prior to
     default required under certain circumstances by subsection
     A. above or such other notice as may be required by statute
     and cannot be waived by Lessee (all other notices being
     hereby waived), Lessor shall be entitled to exercise, at
     its option, concurrently, successively, or in any
     combination, all remedies available at law or in equity,
     including without limitation, any one or more of the
     following:

          (i)     To terminate this Lease, whereupon Lessee's
     right to possession of the Properties shall cease and this
     Lease, except as to Lessee's liability, shall be terminated.

          (ii)    To reenter and take possession of any or all of
     the Properties and, to the extent permissible, all
     franchises, licenses, area development agreements, permits
     and other rights or privileges of Lessee pertaining to the
     use and operation of any or all of the Properties and to
     expel Lessee and those claiming under or through Lessee,
     without being deemed guilty in any manner of trespass or
     becoming liable for any loss or damage resulting therefrom,
     without resort to legal or judicial process, procedure or
     action.  No notice from Lessor hereunder or under a forcible
     entry and detainer statute or similar law shall constitute an
     election by Lessor to terminate this Lease unless such notice
     specifically so states.  If Lessee shall, after default,
     voluntarily give up possession of any of the Properties to
     Lessor, deliver to Lessor or its agents the keys to any of
     the Properties, or both, such actions shall be deemed to be
     in compliance with Lessor's rights and the acceptance thereof
     by Lessor or its agents shall not be deemed to constitute a
     termination of this Lease.  Lessor reserves the right
     following any reentry and/or reletting to exercise its right
     to terminate this Lease by giving Lessee written notice
     thereof, in which event this Lease will terminate as
     specified in said notice.

          (iii)   To remove all machinery, appliances, furniture,
     equipment, trade fixtures and other tangible personal
     property located on or at any or all of the Properties and
     not owned by Lessor and cause the same to be stored in a
     public warehouse or elsewhere at Lessee's sole expense,
     without becoming liable for any loss or damage resulting
     therefrom and without resorting to legal or judicial process,
     procedure or action.

          (iv)    To bring an action against Lessee for any
     damages sustained by Lessor or any equitable relief available
     to Lessor.

          (v)     To relet any or all of the Properties or any
     part thereof for such term or terms (including a term which
     extends beyond the original Lease Term), at such rentals and
     upon such other terms as Lessor, in its sole discretion, may
     determine, with all proceeds received from such reletting
     being applied to the rental and other sums due from Lessee in
     such order

                             36

<PAGE>


     as Lessor may, in it sole discretion, determine,
     which other sums include, without limitation, all
     repossession costs, brokerage commissions, attorneys' fees
     and expenses, employee expenses, alteration, remodeling and
     repair costs and expenses of preparing for such reletting.
     Except to the extent required by applicable law, Lessor shall
     have no obligation to relet any of the Properties or any part
     thereof and shall in no event be liable for refusal or
     failure to relet any of the Properties or any part thereof,
     or, in the event of any such reletting, for refusal or
     failure to collect any rent due upon such reletting, and no
     such refusal or failure shall operate to relieve Lessee of
     any liability under this Lease or otherwise to affect any
     such liability.  Lessor reserves the right following any
     reentry and/or reletting to exercise its right to terminate
     this Lease by giving Lessee written notice thereof, in which
     event this Lease will terminate as specified in said notice.

          (vi)    Upon notice to Lessee (the "Trigger Notice"),
     to deem Lessee to have made an irrevocable rejectable offer
     (an "Event of Default Rejectable Offer") to purchase all of
     the Properties which are then subject to this Lease for a
     purchase price equal to the sum of (i) the product of the
     percentage specified on Schedule I attached hereto which
     corresponds to the time period during which such Event of
     Default Rejectable Offer is made multiplied by the sum of
     the Purchase Price for all of the Properties which are then
     subject to this Lease, plus (ii) all Base Annual Rental,
     Additional Rental and other sums and obligations then due
     and payable under this Lease, plus (iii) the sum of the
     Prepayment Charges corresponding to all of the Properties
     which are then subject to this Lease (the sum of items (i),
     (ii) and (iii) being referred to herein as the "Event of
     Default Purchase Amount").  Lessor shall have 120 days from
     the giving of the Trigger Notice to deliver written notice
     to Lessee of its election to either accept or reject the
     Event of Default Rejectable Purchase Offer.  Lessor's
     failure to deliver such notice within such time period
     shall be deemed to constitute Lessor's acceptance of the
     Event of Default Rejectable Offer.  If any of the Mortgages
     are still outstanding, any rejection of the Event of
     Default Rejectable Offer by Lessor shall not be effective
     unless it is consented to in writing by the Lender and such
     written consent is delivered to Lessee within such 120-day
     period.

          If Lessor accepts the Event of Default Rejectable Offer
     or is deemed to have accepted the Event of Default Rejectable
     Offer or if, while any of the Mortgages are still
     outstanding, any rejection of the Event of Default Rejectable
     Offer by Lessor is not consented to in writing by the Lender,
     then, on a date not later than 30 days after the expiration
     of the aforesaid 120-day period (such date being referred to
     herein as the "Conveyance Date"), Lessor shall sell and
     convey, and Lessee shall purchase for the Event of Default
     Purchase Amount, Lessor's interest in all of the Properties
     which are then subject to this Lease.  Lessee's obligations
     under this Lease with respect to such Properties shall not be
     terminated until the applicable Event of Default Purchase
     Amount is paid in full.  Upon such payment, (i) Lessor shall
     convey such Properties to Lessee "as-is" by special warranty
     deed, subject to all matters of record (except for (X) the
     Mortgages corresponding to such Properties, (Y) any other
     consensual liens granted by Lessor with respect to such
     Properties other than those granted by Lessor at the request,
     or with the consent, of Lessee, and (Z) any non-consensual
     liens against Lessor which encumber such Properties and which
     do not result from Lessee's failure to perform its
     obligations under this Lease), and without representation or
     warranty, and (ii) all obligations of either party hereunder
     shall cease as of

                             37

<PAGE>


     the Conveyance Date, provided, however,
     Lessee's obligations to the Indemnified Parties under any
     indemnification provisions of this Lease (including, without
     limitation, Sections 16 and 19) and Lessee's obligations to
     pay any sums (whether payable to Lessor or a third party)
     accruing under this Lease prior to the  Conveyance Date shall
     survive the termination of this Lease.

          Lessee shall be solely responsible for the payment of
     all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
     conveyance of Properties to Lessee pursuant to this Section
     23.B(vi), including, without limitation, to the extent
     applicable, the cost of title insurance, survey charges,
     stamp taxes, mortgage taxes, transfer fees, escrow and
     recording fees, taxes imposed on Lessor as a result of such
     conveyance, taxes imposed in connection with the transfer of
     the Properties to Lessee or the termination of this Lease
     pursuant to the provisions of this Section 23.B(vi), Lessee's
     attorneys' fees and the reasonable attorneys' fees and
     expenses of counsel to Lessor and Lender.

          If Lessor rejects the Event of Default Rejectable Offer
     and, as long as any of the Mortgages are still outstanding,
     such rejection is consented to in writing by Lender (and such
     written consent delivered to Lessee within the applicable
     120-day period), then Lessor shall be entitled to (x) recover
     from Lessee all rent and other monetary sums then due and
     owing under this Lease and (y) accelerate and recover from
     Lessee an amount equal to the present value (discounted at
     the rate of 6% per annum) of the difference between (1) all
     rent and other monetary sums scheduled to become due and
     owing under this Lease thereafter for the entire remaining
     Lease Term, and (2) the fair market rental value (as
     reasonably determined by Lessor) of the Properties which are
     then subject to this Lease for such period (the sum of items
     (x) and (y) being hereinafter referred to as the "Damage
     Amount").  Upon payment by Lessee of the Damage Amount, all
     obligations of either party hereunder shall cease as of the
     date of such payment, provided, however, Lessee's obligations
     to the Indemnified Parties under any indemnification
     provisions of this Lease (including, without limitation,
     Sections 16 and 19) and Lessee's obligations to pay any sums
     (whether payable to Lessor or a third party) accruing under
     this Lease prior to such payment date shall survive the
     termination of this Lease.

          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
     this Lease, Lessor's remedies under this subsection (vi) are
     not exclusive of any other right or remedy or of any other
     powers and remedies available to Lessor under this Lease, by
     judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance
     or observance of the covenants and agreements of Lessee
     contained in this Lease and, until such time as Lessee has
     paid all amounts owing to Lessor under this subsection (vi),
     Lessor reserves all such other rights and remedies.


          (vii)  To recover from Lessee all costs and expenses,
     including attorneys' fees, court costs, expert witness fees,
     costs of tests and analyses, travel and accommodation
     expenses, deposition and trial transcripts, copies and other
     similar costs and fees, paid or incurred by Lessor as a
     result of such breach, regardless of whether or not legal
     proceedings are actually commenced.

          (viii) To immediately or at any time thereafter, and
     with or without notice, at Lessor's sole option but without
     any obligation to do so, correct such breach or default and
     charge Lessee all costs and expenses incurred by Lessor
     therein.  Any sum or sums so paid

                             38

<PAGE>


     by Lessor, together with
     interest at the Default Rate, shall be deemed to be
     Additional Rental hereunder and shall be immediately due from
     Lessee to Lessor.  Any such acts by Lessor in correcting
     Lessee's breaches or defaults hereunder shall not be deemed
     to cure said breaches or defaults or constitute any waiver of
     Lessor's right to exercise any or all remedies set forth
     herein.

          (ix)  To immediately or at any time thereafter, and with
     or without notice, except as required herein, set off any
     money of Lessee held by Lessor under this Lease against any
     sum owing by Lessee hereunder.

          (x)   To seek any equitable relief available to Lessor,
     including, without limitation, the right of specific
     performance.

          (xi)  To present for payment all Letters of Credit
     previously delivered to Lessor and still outstanding and
     apply such proceeds toward any amounts due under this Lease.

     All powers and remedies given by this Section to Lessor, subject to
applicable law, shall be cumulative and not exclusive of one another or
of any other right or remedy or of any other powers and remedies
available to Lessor under this Lease, by judicial proceedings or
otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and
agreements of Lessee contained in this Lease, and no delay or omission
of Lessor to exercise any right or power accruing upon the occurrence of
any Event of Default shall impair any other or subsequent Event of
Default or impair any rights or remedies consequent thereto.  Every
power and remedy given by this Section or by law to Lessor may be
exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by
Lessor, subject at all times to Lessor's right in its sole judgment to
discontinue any work commenced by Lessor or change any course of action
undertaken by Lessor.

     If Lessee shall fail to observe or perform any of its obligations
under this Lease or in the event of an emergency, then, without waiving
any Event of Default which may result from such failure or emergency,
Lessor may, but without any obligation to do so, take all actions,
including, without limitation, entry upon any or all of the Properties
to perform Lessee's obligations, immediately and without notice in the
case of an emergency and upon five days written notice to Lessee in all
other cases.  All expenses incurred by Lessor in connection with
performing such obligations, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses, together with interest at the Default Rate
from the date any such expenses were incurred by Lessor until the date
of payment by Lessee, shall constitute Additional Rental and shall be
paid by Lessee to Lessor upon demand.

     24.  Liens; Mortgages, Subordination, Nondisturbance and
Attornment. Lessor's interest in this Lease and/or any of the Properties
shall not be subordinate to any liens or encumbrances placed upon any of
the Properties by or resulting from any act of Lessee, and nothing
herein contained shall be construed to require such subordination by
Lessor.  Lessee shall keep the Properties free from any liens for work
performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by Lessee.
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT LESSEE IS NOT AUTHORIZED TO PLACE OR ALLOW
TO BE PLACED ANY LIEN, MORTGAGE, DEED OF TRUST, SECURITY INTEREST OR
ENCUMBRANCE OF ANY KIND UPON ALL OR ANY PART OF ANY OF THE PROPERTIES OR
LESSEE'S LEASEHOLD INTEREST THEREIN OR THE PERSONALTY, AND ANY SUCH
PURPORTED TRANSACTION

                             39

<PAGE>


 WHICH IS NOT APPROVED BY LESSOR SHALL BE VOID.  FURTHERMORE, ANY SUCH
PURPORTED TRANSACTION SHALL BE DEEMED A TORTIOUS INTERFERENCE WITH
LESSOR'S RELATIONSHIP WITH LESSEE AND LESSOR'S OWNERSHIP OF THE
PROPERTIES.  WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, LESSEE
SHALL NOT LEASE ANY OF THE PERSONALTY FROM THIRD-PARTIES.

     This Lease at all times shall automatically be subordinate to the
Mortgages and to the lien of any and all ground leases, mortgages and
trust deeds now or hereafter placed upon any of the Properties by
Lessor, and Lessee covenants and agrees to execute and deliver, upon
demand, such further instruments subordinating this Lease to the lien of
the Mortgages and any or all such ground leases, mortgages or trust
deeds as shall be desired by Lessor, or any present or proposed
mortgagees or lenders under trust deeds, upon the condition that Lessee
shall have the right to remain in possession of the Properties under the
terms of this Lease, notwithstanding any default in the Mortgages or any
or all such ground leases, mortgages or trust deeds, or after
foreclosure of any or all such Mortgages, mortgages or trust deeds or
termination of any or all such ground leases, so long as no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Lease.

     If any mortgagee, receiver, Lender or other secured party elects to
have this Lease and the interest of Lessee hereunder be superior to any
of the Mortgages or any such ground lease, mortgage or trust deed and
evidences such election by notice given to Lessee, then this Lease and
the interest of Lessee hereunder shall be deemed superior to any such
Mortgage, ground lease, mortgage or trust deed, whether this Lease was
executed before or after such Mortgage, ground lease, mortgage or trust
deed and in that event such mortgagee, receiver, Lender or other secured
party shall have the same rights with respect to this Lease as if it had
been executed and delivered prior to the execution and delivery of such
Mortgage ground lease, mortgage or trust deed and had been assigned to
such mortgagee, receiver, Lender or other secured party.

     Although the foregoing provisions shall be self-operative and no
future instrument of subordination shall be required, upon request by
Lessor, Lessee shall execute and deliver whatever instruments may be
required for such purposes, and in the event Lessee fails so to do
within 10 days after demand, Lessee does hereby make, constitute and
irrevocably appoint Lessor as its agent and attorney-in-fact and in its
name, place and stead so to do, which appointment shall be deemed
coupled with an interest.

     In the event any purchaser or assignee of Lender at a foreclosure
sale acquires title to any of the Properties, or in the event Lender or
any assignee otherwise succeeds to the rights of Lessor as landlord
under this Lease, Lessee shall attorn to Lender or such purchaser or
assignee, as the case may be (a "Successor Lessor"), and recognize the
Successor Lessor as lessor under this Lease, and this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between the
Successor Lessor and Lessee, provided that the Successor Lessor shall
only be liable for any obligations of the lessor under this Lease which
accrue after the date that such Successor Lessor acquires title.  The
foregoing provision shall be self operative and effective without the
execution of any further instruments.

     Lessee shall give written notice to any lender of Lessor having a
recorded lien upon any of the Properties or any part thereof of which
Lessee has been notified of any breach or default by Lessor of any of
its obligations under this Lease simultaneously with the giving of such
notice

                             40

<PAGE>


to Lessor, and Lessee shall give such lender at least 60 days beyond any
notice period to which Lessor might be entitled to cure such default
before Lessee may exercise any remedy with respect thereto.  Upon
request by Lessor, Lessee shall also provide Lessee's most recent
audited financial statements to Lessor or any such lender and certify
the continuing accuracy of such financial statements in such manner as
Lessor or such lender may request.

     25.  Estoppel Certificate.  At any time, and from time to time,
Lessee shall, promptly and in no event later than 10 days after a
request from Lessor or Lender, execute, acknowledge and deliver to
Lessor or Lender a certificate in the form supplied by Lessor, Lender or
any present or proposed mortgagee or purchaser designated by Lessor,
certifying:  (i) that Lessee has accepted the Properties (or, if Lessee
has not done so, that Lessee has not accepted the Properties, and
specifying the reasons therefor); (ii) that this Lease is in full force
and effect and has not been modified (or if modified, setting forth all
modifications), or, if this Lease is not in full force and effect, the
certificate shall so specify the reasons therefor; (iii) the
commencement and expiration dates of the Lease Term, including the terms
of any extension options of Lessee; (iv) the date to which the rentals
have been paid under this Lease and the amount thereof then payable; (v)
whether, to the best of Lessee's knowledge, there are then any existing
defaults by Lessor in the performance of its obligations under this
Lease, and, if there are any such defaults, specifying the nature and
extent thereof; (vi) that no notice has been received by Lessee of any
default under this Lease which has not been cured, except as to defaults
specified in the certificate; (vii) the capacity of the person executing
such certificate, and that such person is duly authorized to execute the
same on behalf of Lessee; (viii) that neither Lessor nor Lender has
actual involvement in the management or control of decision making
related to the operational aspects or the day-to-day operations of the
Properties, including the USTs or the handling and disposal of Hazardous
Materials or Regulated Substances; and (ix) any other information
reasonably requested by Lessor, Lender or such present or proposed
mortgagee or purchaser.

     26.  Assignment.  A.  Lessor shall have the right to sell or convey
all, but not less than all, of the Properties or to assign its right,
title and interest as Lessor under this Lease in whole, but not in part.
 In the event of any such sale or assignment other than a security
assignment, provided Lessee receives written notice that such purchaser
or assignee has assumed all of Lessor's obligations under this Lease,
Lessee shall attorn to such purchaser or assignee and Lessor shall be
relieved, from and after the date of such transfer or conveyance, of
liability for the performance of any obligation of Lessor contained
herein, except for obligations or liabilities accrued prior to such
assignment or sale.

     B.     Lessee acknowledges that Lessor has relied both on the
business experience and creditworthiness of Lessee and upon the
particular purposes for which Lessee intends to use the Properties in
entering into this Lease.  Lessee shall not sublet all or any part of
any of the Properties without the prior written consent of Lessor, such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Also,
without the prior written consent of Lessor: (i)  Lessee shall not
assign, transfer or convey this Lease or any interest therein, whether
by operation of law or otherwise; (ii)  no interest in Lessee shall be
assigned, transferred, conveyed, pledged or mortgaged, whether by
operation of law or otherwise, including without limitation a
dissolution of Lessee or a transfer of any of the voting stock of Lessee
if such transfer, assignment, conveyance, pledge or mortgage would or
could result in a Change of Control; and (iii) Lessee shall not sell,
transfer or dispose of any material part of its assets except in the
ordinary course of

                             41

<PAGE>


business for full and fair consideration and reasonably equivalent
value.  It is expressly agreed that Lessor may withhold or condition
such consent based upon such matters as Lessor may in its reasonable
discretion determine, including, without limitation, the experience and
creditworthiness of any assignee, the assumption by any assignee of all
of Lessee's obligations hereunder by undertakings enforceable by Lessor,

all necessary licenses and franchises to continue operating the
Properties for the purposes herein provided, receipt of such
representations and warranties from any assignee as Lessor may request,
including such matters as its organization, existence, good standing and
finances and other matters, whether or not similar in kind. At the time
of any assignment of this Lease which is approved by Lessor, the
assignee shall assume all of the obligations of Lessee under this Lease
pursuant to Lessor's standard form of assumption agreement.  No such
assignment nor any subletting of any of the Properties shall relieve
Lessee of its obligations respecting this Lease.  Any assignment,
transfer, conveyance, pledge or mortgage in violation of this paragraph
shall be voidable at the sole option of Lessor.

     C.   For purposes of this Section 26, the following terms shall
have the following meanings:

    "Act" means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from
time to time.

    "Beneficial Ownership" has the meaning in Rule 13d-3 promulgated
under the Act.

     "Change of Control" shall mean the ownership by a Group of
Beneficial Ownership of 50% or more of the Voting Power of Lessee, but
excluding any acquisition of the Voting Power of Lessee by an employee
benefit plan of Lessee.

Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Act.

     "Voting Power" means the combined voting power of the outstanding

     27.  Option To Extend.  Lessee, provided no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing at the time of exercise or at the expiration
of the Lease Term or, if applicable, the preceding extension of the
Lease Term, shall have the option to continue this Lease in effect for
one initial additional period of ten years and two successive periods of
five years each in accordance with the terms and provisions of this
Lease then in effect, except as provided below.  The Base Annual Rental
during the first extension period shall equal the Base Annual Rental in
effect immediately prior to the beginning of the first extension period.
 The Base Annual Rental during the second extension period shall equal
the lesser of (i) 95% of the annual fair market rental value of the
Properties during such extension period (to be determined as set forth
below), and (ii) the Base Annual Rental in effect at the end of the
first extension period multiplied by 1.10.  The Base Annual Rental
during the third extension period shall equal the lesser of (i) 95% of
the annual fair market rental value of the Properties during such
extension period (to be determined as set forth below), and (ii) the
Base Annual Rental in effect at the end of the second extension period
multiplied by 1.05.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that
Lessee's notice of the exercise of the second and third extension option
does not contain a request for Lessor to cause an appraisal of the fair

                             42

<PAGE>

market rental value of the Properties to be performed, the Base Annual
Rental during the second and third extension options shall be the amount
determined pursuant to clauses (ii) of each of the two preceding
sentences, as applicable.

     Lessee may only exercise the first extension option by giving
notice to Lessor of Lessee's intention to do so not later than April 30,
2019.  If the first extension option is exercised by Lessee, Lessee may
only exercise the second extension option by giving notice to Lessor of
Lessee's intention to do so not later than January 31, 2030.  If the
first two extension options are exercised, Lessee may only exercise the
third extension option by giving notice to Lessor of Lessee's intention
to do so not later than January 31, 2035.

     Upon receipt of notice of the exercise of the second and third
extension option and only if such notice requests that Lessor cause
appraisals be performed, Lessor shall within 90 days, at Lessee's
expense, cause an appraisal of the fair market rental value of the
Properties to be made by an independent MAI appraiser.  If within 20
days after being notified of the result of such appraisal Lessee elects
to reject that appraisal, then Lessor shall nominate to Lessee a list of
not less than three independent MAI appraisers who are experienced with
appraising property similar to the Properties, and Lessee shall select
one such appraiser.  Within 60 days of such selection an appraisal shall
be made of the Properties by that appraiser and within 20 days after the
results of that appraisal shall have been delivered to Lessee, Lessee
shall notify Lessor of Lessee's election to exercise its option to
extend this Lease and shall pay the rental so established above which
shall be absolutely net to Lessor as provided in Section 9 hereof.  If
such notice of exercise is not received by Lessor within the 20-day
period then this Lease shall terminate on the last day of the Lease Term
or, if applicable, the last day of the first extension of the Lease
Term.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease,
Lessee shall have the right to specify in its notice of the exercise of
the first extension option up to two Properties (the "Non-Renewed
Properties") for which Lessee does not elect to renew this Lease.   If
Lessee exercises such right, the Lease shall not be deemed to be renewed
for the Non-Renewed Properties and the Base Annual Rental for the first
extension period shall equal the Base Annual Rental in effect
immediately prior to the beginning of the first extension period less
the product of (x) the sum of the Applicable Rent Reduction Percentage
for each Non-Renewed Property, and (y) the Base Annual Rental in effect
immediately prior to the beginning of the first extension period.

     28.  Notices.  All notices, consents, approvals or other
instruments required or permitted to be given by either party pursuant
to this Lease shall be in writing and given by (i) hand delivery, (ii)
facsimile, (iii) express overnight delivery service or (iv) certified or
registered mail, return receipt requested, and shall be deemed to have
been delivered upon (a) receipt, if hand delivered, (b) transmission, if
delivered by facsimile, (c) the next Business Day, if delivered by
express overnight delivery service, or (d) the third Business Day
following the day of deposit of such notice with the United States
Postal Service, if sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt
requested.  Notices shall be provided to the parties and addresses (or

     29.  Holding Over.  If Lessee remains in possession of any of the
Properties after the expiration of the term hereof, Lessee, at Lessor's
option and within Lessor's sole discretion, may be deemed a tenant on a
month-to-month basis and shall continue to pay rentals and other sums in
the amounts herein provided, except that the Base Monthly Rental shall
be automatically increased by 50%, and to comply with all the terms of
this Lease; provided that nothing herein nor the acceptance of rent by
Lessor shall be deemed a consent to such holding over.  Lessee shall
defend, indemnify, protect and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless
from and against any and all Losses resulting from Lessee's failure to
surrender possession upon the expiration of the Lease Term, including,
without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding lessee.  The terms
of this Section 29 shall survive the expiration of the Lease Term.

     30.  Removal of Personal Property.  At the expiration of the Lease
Term, and if Lessee is not then in breach hereof, Lessee may remove from
the Properties all machinery, appliances, furniture, equipment, trade
fixtures and other tangible personal property not owned by Lessor.
Lessee shall repair any damage caused by such removal and shall leave
the Properties broom clean and in good and working condition and repair
inside and out.

     31.  Financial Statements.  Within 50 days after the end of each
Fiscal Quarter (other than the last Fiscal Quarter of a Fiscal Year) and
within 100 days after the end of each Fiscal Year of Lessee, Lessee
shall deliver to Lessor and Lender (i) complete financial statements of
the Consolidated Entities including a balance sheet, profit and loss
statement, statement of cash flows and all other related schedules for
the fiscal period then ended; and (ii) Lessee's Property Monthly Retail
P&L Report for each of the Properties.  The financial statements
specified in (i) above shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP and
shall be certified to be accurate and complete by Lessee (or the
Treasurer or other appropriate officer of Lessee).  Lessee understands
that Lessor and Lender will rely upon such financial statements and
Lessee represents that such reliance is reasonable.  The financial
statements delivered to Lessor and Lender need not be audited, but
Lessee shall deliver to Lessor and Lender copies of any audited
financial statements of Lessee which may be prepared, in accordance with
the reporting deadlines specified in this Section 31.

     32.   Force Majeure.  Any prevention, delay or stoppage due to
strikes, lockouts, acts of God, enemy or hostile governmental action,
civil commotion, fire or other casualty beyond the control of the party
obligated to perform shall excuse the performance by such party for a
period equal to any such prevention, delay or stoppage, except the
obligations imposed with regard to rental and other monies to be paid by
Lessee pursuant to this Lease and any indemnification obligations
imposed upon Lessee under this Lease.

     33.   Time Is of the Essence.  Time is of the essence with respect
to each and every provision of this Lease in which time is a factor.

     34.   Lessor's Liability.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
provided in this Lease, it is specifically understood and agreed, such
agreement being a primary consideration for the execution of this Lease
by Lessor, that (i) there shall be absolutely no personal liability on
the part of Lessor, its successors or assigns and the trustees, members,
partners, shareholders, officers, directors, employees and agents of
Lessor and its successors or assigns, to Lessee with respect to any of
the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, (ii) Lessee waives
all claims, demands and causes of action against the trustees, members,
partners, shareholders, officers,

                             45

<PAGE>


directors, employees and agents of Lessor and its successors or assigns
in the event of any breach by Lessor of any of the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Lease to be performed by Lessor, and (iii) Lessee
shall look solely to the Properties for the satisfaction of each and
every remedy of Lessee in the event of any breach by Lessor of any of
the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed by
Lessor, or any other matter in connection with this Lease or the
Properties, such exculpation of liability to be absolute and without any
exception whatsoever.

     35.  Consent of Lessor.  (a)  Unless specified otherwise herein,
Lessor's consent to any request of Lessee may be conditioned or withheld
in Lessor's sole discretion.  Lessor shall have no liability for damages
resulting from Lessor's failure to give any consent, approval or
instruction reserved to Lessor, Lessee's sole remedy in any such event
being an action for injunctive relief.

     (b)  It is understood and agreed that to the extent Lessor is
required to obtain the consent, approval, agreement or waiver of Lender
with respect to a matter for which Lessor's approval has been requested
under this Lease, Lessor shall in no event be deemed to have
unreasonably withheld Lessor's consent, approval, agreement or waiver
thereof if Lender shall not have given its approval if required.

     36.  Waiver and Amendment.  No provision of this Lease shall be
deemed waived or amended except by a written instrument unambiguously
setting forth the matter waived or amended and signed by the party
against which enforcement of such waiver or amendment is sought.  Waiver
of any matter shall not be deemed a waiver of the same or any other
matter on any future occasion.  No acceptance by Lessor of an amount
less than the monthly rent and other payments stipulated to be due under
this Lease shall be deemed to be other than a payment on account of the
earliest such rent or other payments then due or in arrears nor shall
any endorsement or statement on any check or letter accompanying any
such payment be deemed a waiver of Lessor's right to collect any unpaid
amounts or an accord and satisfaction.

     37.   Successors Bound.  Except as otherwise specifically provided
herein, the terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease
shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective heirs, successors,
executors, administrators and assigns of each of the parties hereto.

     38.   No Merger.  The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by
Lessee, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not result in a merger
of Lessor's and Lessee's estates, and shall, at the option of Lessor,
either terminate any or all existing subleases or subtenancies, or
operate as an assignment to Lessor of any or all of such subleases or
subtenancies.

     39.   Captions.  Captions are used throughout this Lease for
convenience of reference only and shall not be considered in any manner
in the construction or interpretation hereof.

     40.   Severability.  The provisions of this Lease shall be deemed
severable.  If any part of this Lease shall be held unenforceable by any
court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder shall remain in full
force and effect, and such unenforceable provision shall be reformed by
such court so as to give maximum legal effect to the intention of the
parties as expressed therein.

     41.   Characterization.  A. It is the intent of the parties hereto
that the business relationship created by this Lease and any related
documents is solely that of a long-term

                             46

<PAGE>


commercial lease between landlord and tenant and has been entered into
by both parties in reliance upon the economic and legal bargains
contained herein.  None of the agreements contained herein, is intended,
nor shall the same be deemed or construed, to create a partnership
between Lessor and Lessee, to make them joint venturers, to make Lessee
an agent, legal representative, partner, subsidiary or employee of
Lessor, nor to make Lessor in any way responsible for the debts,
obligations or losses of Lessee.

     B.   Lessor and Lessee acknowledge and warrant to each other that
each has been represented by independent counsel and has executed this
Lease after being fully advised by said counsel as to its effect and
significance.  This Lease shall be interpreted and construed in a fair
and impartial manner without regard to such factors as the party which
prepared the instrument, the relative bargaining powers of the parties
or the domicile of any party.  Whenever in this Lease any words of
obligation or duty are used, such words or expressions shall have the
same force and effect as though made in the form of a covenant.

     42.   Easements.  During the Lease Term Lessor shall have the right
to grant utility easements on, over, under and above any of the
Properties with the prior consent of Lessee, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, provided that such
easements will not materially interfere with Lessee's long-term use of
such Properties.

     43.   Bankruptcy. A.  As a material inducement to Lessor executing
this Lease, Lessee acknowledges and agrees that Lessor is relying upon
(i) the financial condition and specific operating experience of Lessee
and Lessee's obligation to use each of the Properties specifically in
accordance with system-wide requirements imposed from time to time on
Permitted Facilities, (ii) Lessee's timely performance of all of its
obligations under this Lease notwithstanding the entry of an order for
relief under the Code for Lessee and (iii) all defaults under this Lease
as to all Properties being cured promptly and this Lease being assumed
within 60 days of any order for relief entered under the Code for
Lessee, or this Lease being rejected within such 60 day period and the
Properties surrendered to Lessor.

     Accordingly, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in
this Lease and for other good and valuable consideration, Lessee hereby
agrees that:

          (i)     All obligations that accrue under this Lease
     (including the obligation to pay rent), from and after the
     date that an Action is commenced shall be timely performed
     exactly as provided in this Lease and any failure to so
     perform shall be harmful and prejudicial to Lessor;

          (ii)     Any and all obligations under this Lease that
     become due from and after the date that an Action is
     commenced and that are not paid as required by this Lease
     shall, in the amount of such rents, constitute administrative
     expense claims allowable under the Code with priority of
     payment at least equal to that of any other actual and
     necessary expenses incurred after the commencement of the
     Action;

          (iii)   Any extension of the time period within which
     Lessee may assume or reject this Lease without an obligation
     to cause all obligations coming due under this Lease from and
     after the date that an Action is commenced to be performed as
     and when required under this Lease shall be harmful and
     prejudicial to Lessor;

                             47

<PAGE>

          (iv)   Any time period designated as the period within
     which Lessee must cure all defaults and compensate Lessor for
     all pecuniary losses which extends beyond the date of
     assumption of this Lease shall be harmful and prejudicial to
     Lessor;

          (v)   Any assignment of this Lease must result in
     all terms and conditions of this Lease being assumed by the
     assignee without alteration or amendment, and any assignment
     which results in an amendment or alteration of the terms and
     conditions of this Lease without the express written consent
     of Lessor shall be harmful and prejudicial to Lessor;

          (vi)   Any proposed assignment of this Lease to an
     assignee:  (a) that will not use the Properties specifically
     in accordance with a distributor agreement with the gasoline
     distributor for Permitted Facilities, or (b) that does not
     possess financial condition, operating performance and
     experience characteristics equal to or better than the
     financial condition, operating performance and experience of
     Lessee as of the Effective Date, shall be harmful and
     prejudicial to Lessor;

          (vii)   The rejection (or deemed rejection) of this
     Lease for any reason whatsoever shall constitute cause for
     immediate relief from the automatic stay provisions of the
     Code, and Lessee stipulates that such automatic stay shall be
     lifted immediately and possession of the Properties will be
     delivered to Lessor immediately without the necessity of any
     further action by Lessor; and

          (viii)   This Lease shall at all times be treated as
     consistent with the specific characterizations set forth in
     Section 3 of this Lease, and assumption or rejection of this
     Lease shall be (a) in its entirety, (b) for all of the
     Properties, and (c) in strict accordance with the specific
     terms and conditions of this Lease.

     B.   No provision of this Lease shall be deemed a waiver of
Lessor's rights or remedies under the Code or applicable law to oppose
any assumption and/or assignment of this Lease, to require timely
performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease, or to regain
possession of the Properties as a result of the failure of Lessee to
comply with the terms and conditions of this Lease or the Code.

     C.   Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, all
amounts payable by Lessee to or on behalf of Lessor under this Lease,
whether or not expressly denominated as such, shall constitute "rent"
for the purposes of the Code.

     D.   For purposes of this Section addressing the rights and
obligations of Lessor and Lessee in the event that an Action is
commenced, the term "Lessee" shall include Lessee's successor in
bankruptcy, whether a trustee, Lessee as debtor in possession or other
responsible person.

     44.   No Offer.  No contractual or other rights shall exist between
Lessor and Lessee with respect to the Properties until both have
executed and delivered this Lease, notwithstanding that deposits may
have been received by Lessor and notwithstanding that Lessor may have
delivered to Lessee an unexecuted copy of this Lease.  The submission of
this Lease to Lessee shall be for examination purposes only, and does
not and shall not constitute a reservation of or

                             48

<PAGE>


an option for Lessee to lease or otherwise create any interest on the
part of Lessee in the Properties.

     45.   Other Documents.  (a)  Each of the parties agrees to sign
such other and further documents as may be necessary or appropriate to
carry out the intentions expressed in this Lease.

     (b)   Upon Lessee's request, Lessor agrees to reasonably cooperate
with Lessee in connection with permit or license applications or similar
matters relating to the operations of the Properties or tax contests
relating to the Properties.  Such cooperation shall include, to the
extent necessary under Applicable Regulations, executing such
applications or documents relating to such applications, matters or tax
contests.  Such cooperation shall be at no cost or expense to Lessor,
and Lessee shall pay all reasonable expenses incurred by Lessor in
connection with such cooperation.  Furthermore, Lessee shall indemnify,
protect, defend and hold harmless each of the Indemnified Parties for,
from and against any and all Losses (excluding Losses suffered by an
Indemnified Party arising out of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the term
"gross negligence" shall not include gross negligence imputed as a
matter of law to any of the Indemnified Parties solely by reason of the
Lessor's interest in any of the Properties or Lessor's failure to act in
respect of matters which are or were the obligation of Lessee under this
Lease) imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified
Parties and arising out of or in any way relating to such cooperation.

     46.   Attorneys' Fees.  In the event of any judicial or other
adversarial proceeding between the parties concerning this Lease, to the
extent permitted by law, the prevailing party shall be entitled to
recover all of its  reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs in
addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.  In addition,
Lessor shall, upon demand, be entitled to all attorneys' fees and all
other costs incurred in the preparation and service of any notice or
demand hereunder, whether or not a legal action is subsequently
commenced.  References in this Lease to Lessor's attorneys' fees and/or
costs shall mean both the fees and costs of independent counsel retained
by Lessor with respect to the matter and the fees and costs of Lessor's
in-house counsel incurred in connection with the matter.
     47.   Entire Agreement.  This Lease and any other instruments or
agreements referred to herein, constitute the entire agreement between
the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no
other representations, warranties or agreements except as herein
provided.  Without limiting the foregoing, Lessee specifically
acknowledges that neither Lessor nor any agent, officer, employee or
representative of Lessor has made any representation or warranty
regarding the projected profitability of the business to be conducted on
the Properties.  Furthermore, Lessee acknowledges that Lessor did not
prepare or assist in the preparation of any of the projected figures
used by Lessee in analyzing the economic viability and feasibility of
the business to be conducted by Lessee at the Properties.

     48.   Forum Selection; Jurisdiction; Venue; Choice of Law.  Lessee
acknowledges that this Lease was partially negotiated in the State of
Arizona, this Lease was executed and delivered in the State of Arizona,
all payments under this Lease will be delivered in the State of Arizona
(unless otherwise directed by Lessor or its successors) and there are
substantial contacts between the parties and the transactions
contemplated herein and the State of Arizona.  For purposes of any
action or proceeding arising out of this Lease, the parties hereto
expressly submit to the jurisdiction of all federal and state courts
located in the State of Arizona.  Lessee

                             48

<PAGE>


and Lessor consent that they may be served with any process or paper by
registered mail or by personal service within or without the State of
Arizona in accordance with applicable law.  Furthermore, Lessee and
Lessor waive and agree not to assert in any such action, suit or
proceeding that they are not personally subject to the jurisdiction of
such courts, that the action, suit or proceeding is brought in an
inconvenient forum or that venue of the action, suit or proceeding is
improper.  The creation of this Lease and the rights and remedies of
Lessor with respect to the Properties, as provided herein and by the
laws of the states in which the Properties are located, as applicable,
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws
of the states in which the Properties are located, as applicable,
without regard to principles of conflicts of law.  With respect to other
provisions of this Lease, this Lease shall be governed by the internal
laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to its principles of
conflicts of law.  Nothing contained in this Section shall limit or
restrict the right of Lessor or Lessee to commence any proceeding in the
federal or state courts located in the states in which the Properties
are located to the extent Lessor or Lessee deems such proceeding
necessary or advisable to exercise remedies available under this Lease.

     B.   The substitution of a Substitute Property for a Property
pursuant to the preceding subsection A shall be subject to the
fulfillment of all of the following terms and conditions:

          (i)   The Substitute Property must:

               (1)  be a Permitted Facility, in good condition
          and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and
          located in the same state as the Property to be
          replaced or in another state acceptable to Lessor in
          Lessor's sole discretion;

               (2)  have a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (with
          the definitions of Section 8.B being deemed to be
          modified as contemplated by the following sentence,
          to provide for a calculation of a "Fixed Charge
          Coverage Ratio" for the Substitute Property only) for
          the FCCR Period of not less than the greater of
          (X) 1.25:1 or (Y) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for
          the Property to be replaced for such FCCR Period.
          For purposes of this subitem (2), the definitions set
          forth in Section 8.B of this Lease with respect to
          the calculation of the Aggregate Fixed Charge
          Coverage Ratio shall be deemed modified as applicable
          to provide for the calculation of a Fixed Charge
          Coverage Ratio for each Property on an individual
          basis rather than on an aggregate basis with the
          other Properties, and the Operating Lease Expense
          with respect to this Lease for each such Property
          shall equal the Applicable Rent Reduction Percentage
          for such Property multiplied by the Base Annual
          Rental then in effect;

               (3)   have a fair market value no less than the
          greater of the then fair market value of the Property
          being replaced or the fair market value of such
          Property as of the Effective Date (in each case,
          determined without regard to this Lease, but assuming
          that while this Lease has been in effect, Lessee has
          complied with all of the terms and conditions of this
          Lease), as determined by Lessor, and consented to by
          Lender, utilizing the same valuation method as used
          in connection with the closing of the transaction
          described in the Sale-Leaseback Agreement, which was
          based upon the sum of (x) the fair market value of
          the land comprising such Property and (y) the
          replacement cost of the improvements located thereon;

               (4)   have improvements which have a remaining
          useful life substantially equivalent to, or better
          than, that of the improvements located at the Property
          to be replaced; and

               (5)   be conveyed to Lessor (or, if directed by
          Lessor, to Lessor and a person designated to acquire
          the remainderman interest) by special or limited
          warranty deed and bill of sale, free and clear of all
          liens and encumbrances, except such matters as are
          reasonably acceptable to Lessor (the "Substitute
          Property Permitted Exceptions");

          (ii)   Lessor shall have inspected and approved the
     Substitute Property utilizing Lessor's customary site
     inspection and underwriting approval criteria.  Lessee
     shall have reimbursed Lessor and Lender for all of their
     reasonable costs and expenses incurred with respect to
     such proposed substitution, including, without limitation,
     Lessor's third-party

                             52

<PAGE>


     and/or in-house site inspectors' costs
     and expenses with respect to the proposed Substitute
     Property.  Lessee shall be solely responsible for the
     payment of all costs and expenses resulting from such
     proposed substitution, regardless of whether such
     substitution is consummated, including, without limitation,
     the cost of title insurance and endorsements for both Lessor
     and Lender, survey charges, stamp taxes, mortgage taxes,
     transfer fees, escrow and recording fees, the cost of
     environmental policies or endorsements to the Environmental
     Policies as applicable, income and transfer taxes imposed on
     Lessor as a result of such substitution and the reasonable
     attorneys' fees and expenses of counsel to Lessee, Lessor and
     Lender;

          (iii)   Lessor shall have received a preliminary title
     report and irrevocable commitment to insure title by means of
     an ALTA extended coverage owner's policy of title insurance
     (or its equivalent, in the event such form is not issued in
     the jurisdiction where the proposed Substitute Property is
     located) for the proposed Substitute Property issued by Title
     Company and committing to insure Lessor's good and marketable
     title in the proposed Substitute Property, subject only to
     the Substitute Property Permitted Exceptions and containing
     endorsements substantially comparable to those required by
     Lessor at the Closing (as defined in the Sale-Leaseback
     Agreement) and Lender shall have received such title report
     and irrevocable commitment to insure its first priority lien
     encumbering the proposed Substitute Property as Lender shall
     reasonably require;

          (iv)   Lessor shall have received a current ALTA survey
     of the proposed Substitute Property, the form of which shall
     be comparable to those received by Lessor at the Closing and
     sufficient to cause the standard survey exceptions set forth
     in the title policy referred to in the preceding subsection
     to be deleted;

          (v)   Lessor shall have received an environmental
     insurance policy with respect to the proposed Substitute
     Property, or to the extent applicable, an endorsement to the
     Environmental Policies, the form and substance of which shall
     be satisfactory to Lessor in its sole discretion;

          (vi)   Lessee shall deliver, or cause to be delivered,
     with respect to Lessee and the Substitute Property, opinions
     of Counsel (as defined in the Sale-Leaseback Agreement) in
     form and substance comparable to those received at Closing
     (but also addressing such matters unique to the Substitute
     Property as may be reasonably required by Lessor);

          (vii)   no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
     continuing under any of the Sale-Leaseback Documents;

          (viii)   Lessee shall have executed such documents as
     may be reasonably required by Lessor as a result of such
     substitution, including amendments to this Lease and the
     Memorandum (the "Substitute Documents"), all of which
     documents shall be in form and substance reasonably
     satisfactory to Lessor;

          (ix)   the representations and warranties set forth in
     the Substitute Documents, this Lease and the Sale-Leaseback
     Agreement applicable to the proposed Substitute Property
     shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the
     date of substitution, and Lessee shall have delivered to
     Lessor an officer's certificate certifying to that effect;

                             53

<PAGE>


          (x)   Lessee shall have delivered to Lessor certificates
     of insurance showing that insurance required by the
     Substitute Documents is in full force and effect;

          (xi)   Lessor shall have obtained an endorsement to the
     policy of residual value insurance issued to Lessor and
     Lender in connection with the transaction described in the
     Sale-Leaseback Agreement with respect to the proposed
     Substitute Property, which endorsement shall be in form and
     substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and Lender; and

          (xii)   Lender shall have consented to the
     substitution of the proposed Substitute Property.

     C.   Upon satisfaction of the foregoing conditions set forth in
Section 55.B and provided Lessor has accepted the Rejectable
Substitution Offer or is deemed to have accepted the Rejectable
Substitution Offer, or while the Mortgage corresponding to such Property
is still outstanding, any rejection of the Rejectable Substitution Offer
by Lessor is not consented to in writing by the Lender:

          (i)   the proposed Substitute Property shall be deemed
     substituted for the Property to be replaced;

          (ii)   the Substitute Property shall be referred to
     herein as a "Property" and included within the definition of
     "Properties";

          (iii)   the Substitute Documents shall be dated as of
     the date of the substitution; and

          (iv)   Lessor shall convey the Property to be replaced
     to Lessee or a designee of Lessee "as-is" by special warranty
     deed and bill of sale, subject to all matters of record
     (except for (X) the Mortgage corresponding to the Property to
     be replaced, (Y) any other consensual liens granted by Lessor
     with respect to the Property to be replaced other than those
     granted by Lessor at the request, or with the consent, of
     Lessee, and (Z) any non-consensual liens against Lessor which
     encumber the Property to be replaced and which do not result
     from Lessee's failure to perform its obligations under this
     Lease), and without representation or warranty.

     D.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 55
shall be construed as limiting or otherwise adversely affecting the
representations, warranties, covenants and characterizations set forth
in Lease, including, without limitation, those provisions set forth in
Section 3 of this Lease.

     56.   Personalty.   Lessor and Lessee acknowledge and agree that
Lessor is the owner of all Personalty located at or on the Properties as
of the Effective Date.  Lessee shall at all times keep such Personalty
in good order, repair and condition and shall promptly replace any such
Personalty that from time to time may become obsolete, dilapidated,
badly worn or in a state of disrepair.  Lessee may dispose of the
Personalty located at or on the Properties only if it is replaced with
new Personalty having comparable quality and utility to the replaced
Personalty.  Lessee shall take no action which would encumber, dilute or
cloud Lessor's title or interest in the

                             54

<PAGE>

Personalty located at or on the Properties.  Lessee agrees that, at such
time as the existing prohibition against Lessee granting a landlord's
lien is no longer in effect, Lessor shall have a landlord's lien against
any replacements of the Personalty which are not owned by Lessor, which
landlord's lien shall secure the payment of all rental and other charges
payable by Lessee to Lessor under the terms hereof and all other
obligations of Lessee to Lessor under this Lease. Lessee further agrees
to execute and deliver to Lessor from time to time such financing
statements and other documents as Lessor may then deem appropriate or
necessary to perfect  said landlord's lien.

     57.   State Specific Provisions.  The provisions and/or remedies
which are set forth on Schedule II shall be deemed a part of and
included within the terms and conditions of this Lease.

                             55
