Note shall be transferred upon the Register, and the Issuers shall execute, and
the Note Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more newly registered Notes of any authorized
denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount. Transfers and exchanges
of Notes shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 2.1.3
and Section 2.1.10 and in the text of the Notes and such reasonable regulations
as may be prescribed by the Issuers or Note Registrar. Successive registrations
of transfers as aforesaid may be made from time to time as desired, and each
such registration shall be noted on the Register.

                  (d) Any Note (subject, in the case of a Regulation S Temporary
Global Note, to the requirements of Section 2.1.6(b)) may be exchanged for two
or more Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal
amount if the Note to be so exchanged is surrendered for cancellation at the
Corporate Trust Office accompanied by the written request of the Holder thereof
specifying the denominations of the new Notes to be issued in exchange therefor.
New Notes, executed by the Issuers and payable to such Holder in the authorized
denominations so requested, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
principal amount of the surrendered Notes, shall be authenticated and delivered
by the Note Trustee to such Holder in exchange for the surrendered Note.

                  (e) Issuers agree that they shall, upon request, reasonably
cooperate with Note Trustee and any Noteholder in connection with any request by
a Noteholder to sever the Notes into two or more separate series of substitute
notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Original Principal Amount
and to reapportion the Original Principal Amount among such separate series of
substitute notes, including, without limitation, by executing and delivering to
the Noteholders new substitute notes of such series to replace the Notes,
amendments to or replacements of existing Transaction Documents to reflect such
severance and/or legal opinions with respect to such substitute notes,
amendments and/or replacements, provided that the Issuers shall not be
responsible for fees for any such fractionalization that are incurred following
the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Issuers shall not be required
to incur any post-closing costs or expenses relating to the severance of the
Note, other than Issuers' internal costs and expenses and the fees and
disbursements of Issuers' counsel with respect to the issuance of a
new enforceability opinion in connection with any such substitute series of
notes. Any such series of substitute notes may as among themselves be pari
passu, senior and subordinate and/or otherwise have varying principal amounts
and economic terms, provided, however, that, subject to the effect of any
prepayments of the notes of such substitute series after an Event of Default,
(i) the weighted average spread applicable to the substitute series of notes
shall not exceed the Spread and (ii) the economics of the Notes (or severed
portions thereof) and other terms of the Notes, taken as a whole, shall not be
modified by such fractionalization in a manner which is in any material respect
adverse to Issuers (except any increase in the weighted average spread
applicable to the substitute notes that may result after prepayments of the
Notes have been made after an Event of Default). Upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, Note Trustee may apply payment of all
sums due on the Notes in such order and priority as Note Trustee shall elect in
its sole and absolute discretion.

                  2.1.4 Forms Generally. The Notes and the Note Trustee's
certificate of authentication thereon (the "Certificate of Authentication")
shall be in substantially the forms required by this Article, with such
appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are
required or permitted by this Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or
other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon,
as may be consistent herewith, determined by an Authorized Officer of the

                  2.1.5 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The
Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuers by any of their respective
Authorized Officers and the Certificate of Authentication thereon shall be
executed on behalf of the Note Trustee by a Responsible Officer. The signature
of any such Authorized Officers on the Notes may be manual or by facsimile and
the signature of any such Responsible Officer on the Certificates of
Authentication shall be manual. Each Note shall be dated as of the date of its
authentication. A Note bearing the manual or facsimile signature of individuals
who were at the time of the execution of such Note Authorized Officers of the
Issuers shall bind the Issuers, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of
them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery
of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes.

                  2.1.6 Form of the Notes.

                  (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.1.6, the
Notes are issuable in physical, definitive, fully registered form without
coupons in substantially the form of Exhibit H-1 hereto. In each case the Notes
shall bear such applicable legends as are provided for in Section 2.1.7. The

exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Notes are
issuable in denominations of not less than $25,000 initial principal amount and
integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof except that Notes issued to
Institutional Accredited Investors which are not QIBs or to Pass-Through

                  (b) Notes that are to be offered and sold in reliance on
Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of a single temporary Global
Note (a "Regulation S Temporary Global Note") in fully registered form without
interest coupons, substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1-A hereto with such
applicable legends as are provided for in Section 2.1.7. The Regulation S
Temporary Global Note shall be duly executed by the Issuers and authenticated by
the Note Trustee, as provided herein, and shall be registered in the name of the
Depositary or its nominee and deposited with the Note Trustee, as Custodian, at
its Corporate Trust Office, for credit to the accounts of the Agent Member then
acting for Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, for credit to the
respective beneficial owners of such Note in accordance with the rules thereof.
On or after the termination of the Regulation S Distribution Compliance Period,
interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note will be exchangeable for
corresponding interests in an unrestricted Global Note (an "Unrestricted Global
Note") in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons,
substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1-A hereto, and with such applicable
legends as are provided for in Section 2.1.7. The aggregate principal amount of
the Regulation S Temporary Global Note and the Unrestricted Global Note may from
time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the
Note Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, as hereinafter provided.

                  (c) A holder of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S
Temporary Global Note may arrange to receive distributions on account of such
interest through Euroclear or Clearstream only after delivery by such Person to
Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, of a written certification (an
"Owner Securities Certification") substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2
hereto. The delivery by such holder of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S
Temporary Global Note of such certification shall constitute an irrevocable
instruction by such holder to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, to
exchange such holder's beneficial interest in the Regulation S Temporary Global
Note for a beneficial interest in the Unrestricted Global Note upon the
expiration of the relevant Regulation S Distribution Compliance Period in
accordance with paragraph (d). No distribution shall be paid to any holder of a
beneficial interest in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note until the
foregoing Owner Securities Certification has been provided to Euroclear or
Clearstream, as the case may be, by such holder and, if Euroclear or Clearstream
shall notify the Note Trustee in writing that it has not been provided with such
Owner Securities Certification, the Note Trustee shall instruct the Depositary
not to make any distribution to Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, in
respect of such holder's interest in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note
until an Owner Securities Certification has been delivered with respect to such
interest.

                  (d) Upon

                           (i) the expiration of the Regulation S Distribution
         Compliance Period,

                           (ii) receipt by Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case
         may be, of the certification described in paragraph (c),

                           (iii) receipt by the Depositary of

                                    (A) written instructions given in accordance
                  with the Applicable Procedures from an Agent Member directing
                  the Depositary to credit or cause to be credited to a
                  specified Agent Member's account a beneficial interest in an
                  Unrestricted Global Note in a principal amount equal to that
                  of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Temporary
                  Global Note for which the necessary certificates have been
                  delivered, and

                                       51
<PAGE>

                                    (B) a written order given in accordance with
                  the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the
                  account of the Agent Member, and the Euroclear or Clearstream
                  account for which such Agent Member's account is held, to be
                  credited with, and the account of the Agent Member to be
                  debited for, such beneficial interest, and

                           (iv) receipt by the Note Trustee of notification from
         the Depositary of the transactions described in (iii) above,

the Note Trustee, as Note Registrar, shall instruct the Depositary to reduce the
principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note and to increase the
principal amount of the Unrestricted Global Note, by the principal amount of the
beneficial interest in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note to be so
transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person
specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Unrestricted Global
Note having an principal amount equal to the amount by which the principal
amount of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note was reduced upon such transfer.

                  (e) Notes that are to be offered and sold to QIBs in
accordance with Rule 144A shall be issued in definitive, fully registered form
without interest coupons, substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1-A hereto with
such applicable legends as are provided for in Section 2.1.7. The Notes issued
to QIBs may be issued in the form of a single Global Note (a "Restricted Global
Note"). The Restricted Global Note shall be duly executed by the Issuers and
authenticated by the Note Trustee as provided herein and shall be registered in
the name of a nominee of the Depositary and deposited with the Note Trustee, as
Custodian, at its Corporate Trust Office, for credit to the respective accounts
of the Depositary's Agent Members who hold interests in the Restricted Global
Note. The aggregate principal amount of the Restricted Global Note may from time
to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Note
Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, as hereinafter provided.

                  (f) Notes that are to be offered and sold to Institutional
Accredited Investors that are not QIBs, sold in each case to an Institutional
Accredited Investor that has executed and delivered to the Note Registrar a
letter substantially in the form of Exhibit H-3 hereto (an "Investment
Representation Letter"), shall be issued in definitive, fully registered form
without interest coupons, substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1-B hereto, as
applicable, with such applicable legends as are provided for in Section 2.1.7.
The Notes sold to Institutional Accredited Investors in accordance with the
foregoing sentence (each, a "Definitive Note") shall not be issued in the form
of global notes, provided, however, that Definitive Notes acquired by QIBs in
accordance with Rule 144A or acquired in reliance on Regulation S may be
exchanged for interests in Global Notes pursuant to Section 2.1.10(e).
Definitive Notes shall be duly executed by the Issuers and authenticated by the
Note Trustee as provided herein, and shall be registered in the name of the
Institutional Accredited Investor purchasing such Note.

                  (g) Notes that are to be offered and sold to Pass-Through
Entities, sold in each case to an Pass-Through Entity that has executed and
delivered to the Note Registrar a letter substantially in the form of Exhibit
H-4 hereto (an "Investment Representation Letter"), shall be issued as
Definitive Notes, with such applicable legends as are provided for in Section
2.1.7. The Notes sold to Pass-Through Entities in accordance with the foregoing
sentence shall not be issued in the form of global notes. Such Definitive Notes
shall be duly executed by the Issuers and authenticated by the Note Trustee as
provided herein, and shall be registered in the name of the Pass-Through Entity
purchasing such Note.

                  2.1.7 Legends.

                  (a) Restricted Notes (including Restricted Global Notes) shall
bear a legend substantially in the following form:

         THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS
         PROMULGATED THEREUNDER (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED,
         SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE
         SECURITIES ACT, EXCEPT (A) (1) TO A PERSON WHO THE SELLER REASONABLY
         BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE
         144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT PURCHASING FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE
         ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE

         PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
         PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER (IF AVAILABLE), (4) TO AN INSTITUTIONAL
         ACCREDITED INVESTOR AS DEFINED IN RULE 50l(a)(l), (2), (3) OR (7) OF
         REGULATION D OR AN ENTITY IN WHICH EACH OF THE EQUITY OWNERS IS AN
         INSTITUTIONAL ACCREDITED INVESTOR IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM THE
         REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, OR (5) IN A
         TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES
         ACT, TO A TRUST OR OTHER ENTITY THAT WILL OFFER, SELL OR OTHERWISE

         CASE, (B) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF THE

         THIS NOTE WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER UNLESS THE
         NOTE REGISTRAR IS SATISFIED THAT THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH
         ABOVE HAVE BEEN COMPLIED WITH, ALL AS PROVIDED IN THE INDENTURE.

                  (b) So long as DTC is acting as Depositary, Global Notes shall
bear a legend substantially in the following form:

         UNLESS THIS NOTE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE
         DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION ("DTC"), TO THE
         ISSUERS OR THEIR AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR
         PAYMENT, AND ANY NOTE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR
         IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF
         DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO., OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS
         IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER,
         PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON
         IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN
         INTEREST HEREIN.

         THIS NOTE IS A GLOBAL NOTE WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE REFERRED
         TO HEREIN. THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY NOT BE EXCHANGED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART,
         FOR A NOTE REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF ANY PERSON OTHER THAN DTC OR A

         THE DATE ON WHICH THE OWNER SECURITIES CERTIFICATION RELATING TO SUCH
         INTEREST HAVE BEEN DELIVERED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE
         INDENTURE, TO THE EFFECT THAT THE BENEFICIAL OWNER OR OWNERS OF SUCH
         INTEREST ARE NOT U.S. PERSONS AND, IN THE CASE FOR AN INTEREST IN AN
         UNRESTRICTED GLOBAL NOTE, UNTIL THE DATE OF TERMINATION OF THE
         REGULATION S DISTRIBUTION COMPLIANCE PERIOD, IF LATER.

                  (d) Definitive Notes sold to Institutional Accredited
Investors that are not QIBs, in addition to the legend set forth in Section
2.1.7(a), will also bear a legend substantially in the following form:

         THIS NOTE WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED IN EXCHANGE FOR A BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN
         A GLOBAL NOTE UNLESS THE HOLDER OF THIS NOTE, SUBSEQUENT TO SUCH

         GLOBAL NOTE OF AT LEAST TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($250,000).

                  2.1.8 Transfer of Notes.

                  The Notes are issued in transactions exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act, and no Note (nor any interest
therein) shall be assigned or transferred except in a transaction exempt from
registration under the Securities Act. During the period beginning on the
Closing Date and ending on the date two years from the Closing Date, all Notes
offered and sold to QIBs in reliance on Rule 144A, all Notes offered and sold to
Institutional Accredited Investors that are not QIBs and all Notes offered and
sold to Pass-Through Entities shall be deemed "Restricted Notes" and shall bear
on their face, and be subject to the restrictions on transfer provided in, the
legend set forth in Section 2.1.7(a); provided, however, that the term
"Restricted Notes" shall not include Notes as to which restrictions have
terminated in accordance with Section 2.1.10(c).

                  2.1.9 Global Notes.

                  (a) (i) Any Note issued in exchange for a Global Note or any
portion thereof shall be a Global Note, provided, however, that any such Note so
issued that is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary or a
nominee thereof shall not be a Global Note. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Indenture, a Global Note shall not be exchanged in whole or in part for
a Note registered in the name of any Person other than the Depositary or one or
more nominees thereof, unless (1) the Depositary (A) notifies the Issuers that
it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Note or (B)
ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and in either
case the Issuers fail to appoint a successor depositary (as described below) or
(2) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default. Any Global
Note exchanged pursuant to clause (1) above shall be so exchanged from time to
time in whole and not in part and any Global Note exchanged pursuant to clause
(2) above may be exchanged from time to time in whole or in part as directed by
the Depositary.

         (ii) The Issuers hereby designate DTC as the Depositary with respect to
the Global Notes. If at any time DTC notifies the Issuers that it is unwilling
or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Notes or if at any time DTC
has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act if so
required by applicable law or regulation, the Issuers shall be entitled to
appoint a successor depositary with respect to each Global Note and provide
notice to the Note Trustee of such appointment. If (x) a successor depositary
for such Global Note is not appointed by the Issuers within 90 days after the
Issuers receive such notice or become aware of such unwillingness, inability or
ineligibility, (y) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the
beneficial owners representing a majority in principal amount of the Notes
represented by such Global Note advise DTC, with a copy to the Note Trustee and
the Issuers, to cease acting as depositary for such Global Note or (z) the
Issuers, in their sole discretion, determine at any time that all (but not less
than all) Outstanding Notes issued or issuable in the form of a Global Note
shall no longer be represented by such Global Note and advise the Note Trustee
and DTC of such determination, then the Issuers shall execute, and the Note
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, Notes in definitive form in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Notes. On or after
the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged as described
above, each Global Note shall be surrendered for exchange by DTC to the Note
Trustee; provided, however, that such exchange is subject to the terms of
Section 2.1.10(b) herein,

                                       55
<PAGE>

                  (b) Notes issued in exchange for a Global Note or any portion
thereof shall be issued in definitive, fully registered form, shall have an
aggregate principal amount equal to that of such Global Note or portion thereof
to be so exchanged, shall be registered in such names and be in such authorized
denominations as the Depositary shall designate and shall bear the applicable
legends provided for herein. Any Global Note to be exchanged in whole shall be
surrendered by the Depositary to the Note Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office
to be so exchanged. With regard to any Global Note to be exchanged in part,
either such Global Note shall be so surrendered or exchanged or, if the Note
Trustee is acting as Custodian for the Depositary or its nominee with respect to
such Global Note, the principal amount thereof shall be reduced, by an amount
equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged, by means of an appropriate
adjustment made on the records of the Note Trustee. Upon any such surrender or
adjustment, the Note Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Note issuable on
such exchange to or upon the order of the Depositary or an authorized
representative thereof. Any Note delivered in exchange for the Global Note or
any portion thereof shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.1.10, bear
the legend regarding transfer restrictions required by Section 2.1.7.

                  (c) Subject to the provisions in the legends required by
Section 2.1.7, a registered Holder may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any
Person, including any Agent Member and any Person who may hold an interest in an
Agent Member, to take any action that such Holder is entitled to take under this
Indenture.

                  (D) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events
specified in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.1.9, the Issuers will promptly make
available to the Note Trustee a reasonable supply of certificated Notes in
definitive, fully registered form.

                  (e) Neither members of, or participants in, the Depositary
("Agent Members") nor any other Person on whose behalf Agent Members may act
shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held
on its or their behalf by the Depositary or under any such Global Note, and the
Depositary may be treated by the Issuers, the Note Trustee and any agent of the
Issuers or the Note Trustee (including, without limitation, the Servicer) as the
absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuers, the Note Trustee or any
agent of the Issuers or the Note Trustee from giving effect to any written
certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or
impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of
customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any
Note. With respect to any Global Note deposited on behalf of the subscribers for
the Notes represented thereby with the Note Trustee as custodian for the
Depositary for credit to their respective accounts (or to such other accounts as
they may direct) at Euroclear or Clearstream, the provisions of the "Operating
Procedures of the Euroclear System" and the "Terms and Conditions Governing Use
of Euroclear" and the applicable rules and procedures of Clearstream,
respectively, shall be applicable to Global Notes.

                  2.1.10 Transfer and Exchange.

                  (a) General. At the option of each Holder but subject to the
provisions of this Section 2.1.10, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any
authorized denomination or denominations and of the same aggregate principal
amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at Corporate Trust Office.
Subject to the terms of this Section 2.1.10, upon surrender for registration of
transfer of any Note at the Corporate Trust Office, the Issuers shall prepare
and the Issuers shall execute, and the Note Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
new Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations and of the same
aggregate principal amount. The Note Trustee will, throughout the term of this
Indenture, retain in its permanent records executed originals of all retired
Notes delivered to it in connection with any exchanges or replacements
hereunder.

                  All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange
of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuers evidencing the same debt,
and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture and the other security
documents as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or
exchange.

                  Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Issuers or the Note
Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuers and the Note Registrar (it being
understood that, until notice to the contrary is given to Holders of Notes, the
Issuers and the Note Registrar shall each be deemed to have approved the form of
instrument of transfer, if any, printed on any definitive Note), duly executed
by the Holder or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing.

                  (c) Notes. Every Note, including any Note issued upon transfer
or exchange thereof, shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer provided
in the legend required to be set forth on the face of such Note pursuant to
Section 2.1.7, and the Holder of each Note, by such Holder's acceptance thereof,
agrees to be bound by such restrictions on transfer. In addition, whenever any
Definitive Note is presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for
exchange for a Note registered in a name other than that of the Holder, such

                  In the case of Restricted Notes, the restrictions imposed by

transferability of any particular Restricted Note shall cease and terminate when
such Restricted Note has been (i) sold pursuant to an effective registration
statement, (ii) transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (or any successor provision
thereto), unless the transferor in such transfer is an affiliate of any Issuer
within the meaning of Rule 144 (or such successor provision), or (iii)
transferred pursuant to Regulation S. Any Restricted Note as to which such
restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms or
shall have terminated may, upon surrender of such Restricted Note for exchange
to the Registrar in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.1.10
(accompanied, in the event that such restrictions on transfer have terminated by
reason of a transfer pursuant to Rule 144 or any successor provision, by an
opinion of counsel having substantial experience in practice under the
Securities Act and otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Issuers, addressed to
the Issuers and in form acceptable to the Issuers, to the effect that the
transfer of such Restricted Note has been made in compliance with Rule 144 or
such successor provision) be exchanged for a new Note or Notes, of like
aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required
by Section 2.1.7. The Note Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the aforementioned
opinion of counsel and the Issuers shall not be liable for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the aforementioned
opinion of counsel.

                  (d) Transfer of Global Notes and Interests Therein.

         whole or in part, to any Person other than the Depositary or a nominee
         thereof, and no such transfer to any such other Person may be
         registered; provided, however, that this clause (i) shall not prohibit
         any transfer of a Note that is issued in exchange for a Global Note but
         is not itself a Global Note. No transfer of a Note to any Person shall
         be effective under this Indenture or the Notes unless and until such
         Note has been registered in the name of such Person. Nothing in this
         Section 2.1.10(d)(i) shall prohibit or render ineffective any transfer
         of a beneficial interest in a Global Note effected in accordance with
         the other provisions of this Section 2.1.10(d).

                  2.1.11 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes.

                  If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Note Trustee, the
Issuers shall execute, and the Note Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in
exchange therefor, a new Note (a "New Note") of like tenor and principal amount

Predecessor Note.

                  If there shall be delivered to the Issuers and the Note
Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of
any Note and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by each of them
to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the Issuers or the Note Trustee that such Note has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuers shall execute and upon its
request the Note Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such
destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a New Note of like tenor and principal amount
and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. In every case of
mutilation or defacement, the applicant shall surrender to the Note Trustee the
Note so mutilated or defaced. Upon the issuance of any substitute Note, the
Issuers may require the payment by the applicant of a sum sufficient to cover
any stamp duty, tax or other governmental charge or insurance charge that may be
imposed or incurred in relation thereto and any other expenses connected
therewith.

                  Every New Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.1.11 in lieu
of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional
contractual obligation of the Issuers evidencing the same debt as the
Predecessor Note, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at
any time enforceable by anyone having rights in such New Note thereunder and
hereunder, and any such New Note shall be entitled to all the benefits of this
Indenture and of the other Transaction Documents to the same extent as such

that, to the extent permitted by law, the foregoing provisions are exclusive
with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Notes and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and
remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Notes or negotiable instruments without their surrender.

                  Section 2.2. Interest.

                  2.2.1 Generally. Interest on the Notes shall accrue at the
Applicable Interest Rate and shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year
and charged for the actual number of days elapsed in the Interest Accrual Period
in question; provided, however, that, after any Securitization, interest on the
Notes referenced in Section 2.1.3(c) shall accrue at a rate described in such
Notes which rate shall be consistent, and determined in accordance, with the
provisions of such Section.

                  2.2.2 Determination of Interest Rate.

                  (a) The rate or rates at which the outstanding principal
amount of the Notes bears interest from time to time shall be referred to as the
"Applicable Interest Rate". The Applicable Interest Rate with respect to the
Notes shall be LIBOR plus the applicable Spread with respect to each applicable
Interest Accrual Period.

                  (b) Interest shall be charged and payable on the outstanding
principal amount of the Notes at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable
Interest Rate, but in no event to exceed the maximum rate permitted under
applicable law. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.2.2,
Issuers shall pay interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Notes at
the Applicable Interest Rate for the applicable Interest Accrual Period. Each
determination by Note Trustee of the Applicable Interest Rate shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Issuers hereby
agree that at any time prior to a Securitization and provided that there is no
material adverse economic impact on Issuers, Note Trustee may change the
Interest Accrual Period upon ten (10) days prior written notice to Issuers.

                  (c) If, at any time prior to the completion of the first
Securitization of the Notes, as a result of any Regulatory Change:

                           (i) the basis of taxation of payments to Note Trustee
         of the principal of or interest on the Notes is changed or Note Trustee
         or the Person controlling Note Trustee shall be subject to any tax,
         duty, charge or withholding (including without limitation any
         withholding or similar tax imposed by Mexico) of any kind with respect
         to this Indenture (excluding federal taxation of the overall net income
         of Note Trustee); or

                           (ii) any reserve, special deposit or similar
         requirements (other than such requirements as are taken into account in
         determining LIBOR) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets
         of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of Note Trustee is
         imposed, modified or deemed applicable to Note Trustee; or

                           (iii) any other condition affecting the Notes are
         imposed on Note Trustee;

and Note Trustee or any Person controlling Note Trustee reasonably determines
that, by reason thereof, the cost to Note Trustee, Noteholders or any Person
controlling Note Trustee of maintaining or extending the Notes is increased, or
any amount receivable by Note Trustee or any Person controlling Note Trustee
hereunder in respect of any portion of the Notes are reduced, in each case by an
amount deemed by Note Trustee to be material (such increases in cost and
reductions in amounts receivable being herein called "Increased Costs"), then
Issuers shall pay to Note Trustee such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate Note Trustee or any Person controlling Note Trustee for such
Increased Costs to the extent Note Trustee reasonably determines that such
Increased Costs are allocable to the Notes. Note Trustee will notify Issuers of
any event occurring after the date hereof which will entitle Note Trustee to
compensation pursuant to this Section (c) as promptly as practicable after it
obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation; provided,
however, that, if Note Trustee fails to deliver a notice within 180 days after
the date on which an officer of Note Trustee responsible for overseeing this
Indenture knows or has reason to know of its right to additional compensation
under this Section 2.2.2(c), Note Trustee shall only be entitled to additional
compensation for any such Increased Costs incurred from and after the date that
is 180 days prior to the date Issuers received such notice. If Note Trustee
requests compensation under this Section 2.2.2(c), Issuers may, by notice to
Note Trustee, require that (i) Note Trustee furnish to Issuers a reasonably
detailed statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and
the method for determining the amount thereof; and/or (ii) the interest rate on
the Notes be converted from the then applicable rate to the Prime Rate plus the
Spread.

                  (d) (i) At all times for all amounts payable that accrue
during periods prior to the first Securitization of the Notes and at all times
solely with respect to U.S./Mexico Taxes imposed by Mexico, Issuers shall, to
the extent permitted by law, make all payments hereunder free and clear of and
without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges or withholdings, or any liabilities with respect thereto,
including those arising after the date hereof as a result of the adoption of or
any change in law, treaty, rule, regulation, guideline or determination of a
Governmental Authority or any change in the interpretation or application
thereof by a Governmental Authority but excluding, in the case of a Noteholder,
such taxes (including income taxes, franchise taxes and branch profit taxes) as
are imposed on or measured by a Noteholder's net income by the United States of
America, Mexico or any Governmental Authority of the jurisdiction under the laws
of which such Noteholder is organized or maintains a lending office (all such
non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deduction, charges, withholdings and
liabilities with respect thereto which Note Trustee determines to be applicable
to this Indenture, the other Transaction Documents and the Notes being
hereinafter referred to as "U.S./Mexico Taxes"). If, at any time prior to the
first Securitization of the Notes and at all times solely with respect to
U.S./Mexico Taxes imposed by Mexico, the Issuers shall be required by law to
deduct any U.S./Mexico Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or
under any other Transaction Document to a Noteholder, (A) the sum payable shall
be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section
2.2.2(d)) the Noteholders receive an amount equal to the sum it would have
received had no such deductions been made, (B) the Issuers shall make such
deductions, and (C) the Issuers shall pay the full amount deducted to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If a
withholding tax of the United States of America or any other Governmental
Authority shall be or become applicable after the date of this Indenture, to
such payments by the Issuers made to the lending office or any other office,
Note Trustee shall use reasonable efforts to make and maintain its lending
office in another jurisdiction so as to reduce the Issuers' liability hereunder,
if the making, funding or maintenance of such other lending office does not, in
the judgment of Note Trustee, otherwise adversely affect the Notes or the Note
Trustee.

                  (ii) In addition, for all amounts payable that accrue during
         periods prior to the first Securitization of the Notes, each Issuer
         agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or other
         excise or property taxes, charges, or similar levies which arise from
         any payment made hereunder, or from the execution, delivery or
         registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Indenture, the
         other Transaction Documents, or the Notes (hereinafter referred to as
         "Other Taxes").

                  (iii) The Issuers shall indemnify Note Trustee for all periods
         prior to the first Securitization of the Notes and solely with respect
         to U.S./Mexico Taxes imposed by Mexico for all periods during which the
         Notes are outstanding and for any U.S./Mexico Taxes imposed on any
         accrued interest paid in connection with a foreclosure or delivery of a
         deed-in-lieu of foreclosure for the full amount of U.S./Mexico Taxes
         and Other Taxes (including any U.S./Mexico Taxes or Other Taxes imposed
         by any Governmental Authority on amounts payable under this Section
         2.2.2(d)) paid by Note Trustee or any Noteholder and any liability
         (including penalties, interest, additions thereto, and expenses)
         arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such
         U.S./Mexico Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted.
         This indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days after the
         date Note Trustee or a Noteholder makes written demand therefore.

                  (iv) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement
         of the Issuers and Note Trustee hereunder, the agreements and
         obligations of the Issuers contained in Section 2.2.2(c) and this
         Section 2.2.2(d)) shall survive the payment in full of principal and
         interest hereunder, and the termination of this Indenture.

                  (v) Prior to the first Securitization of the Notes, if Note
         Trustee or any of its successors or assigns is a foreign person (i.e.,
         a person other than a United States person for United States federal
         income tax purposes), Note Trustee shall:

                           (1) not later than the Closing Date (or, in the case
                  of a successor or assign of Note Trustee, the date such
                  successor or assign becomes a successor or assign) deliver to
                  Issuers one accurate and complete signed original of Internal
                  Revenue Service Form W-8 ECI or any successor form ("Form W-8
                  ECI"), or one accurate and complete signed original of
                  Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN or any successor form
                  ("Form W-8 BEN"), as appropriate, in each case indicating that
                  the Noteholders (or such successor or assign, as applicable)
                  are on the date of delivery thereof entitled to receive
                  payments of principal, interest and fees under this Indenture
                  free from withholding of United States federal income tax;

                           (2) if at any time it makes any changes necessitating
                  a new Form W-8 ECI or Form W-8 BEN, with reasonable promptness
                  deliver to Issuers in replacement for, or in addition to, the
                  forms previously delivered by it hereunder, one accurate and
                  complete signed original of Form W-8 ECI or Form W-8 BEN, as
                  appropriate, in each case indicating that it is on the date of
                  delivery thereof entitled to receive payments of principal,
                  interest and fees under this Indenture free from withholding
                  of United States federal income tax; and

                           (3) promptly upon Issuers' reasonable request to that
                  effect, deliver to Issuers such other forms or similar
                  documentation as may be required from time to time by
                  applicable law, treaty, rule or regulation in order to
                  establish its tax status for United States federal tax
                  withholding purposes.

                  (vi) Issuers will not be required to pay any additional
         amounts in respect of United States federal income tax pursuant to this
         Section 2.2.2(d) to the Noteholders if the obligation to pay such
         additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by Note
         Trustee to comply with its obligations under Section 2.2.2(d)(v) above.

                  (e) Without limiting the effect of Section (c) or (d) above,
prior to the first Securitization of the Notes, in the event that, (i) by reason
of any Regulatory Change, Note Trustee or any Noteholder incurs Increased Costs
based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a
category of deposits or other liabilities of Note Trustee, which includes
deposits by reference to which LIBOR is determined, (ii) Note Trustee or any
Noteholder shall have determined in good faith after reasonable investigation
that U.S. dollar deposits in the principal amount of the Notes are not generally
available in the London interbank market, (iii) reasonable means do not exist
for ascertaining the Applicable Interest Rate, (iv) Note Trustee or any
Noteholder ascertains that LIBOR determined or to be determined for any Interest
Accrual Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Note Trustee
and the Noteholder of purchasing and holding the Notes during such Interest
Accrual Period, or (v) maintenance of any portions of the Notes at LIBOR at any
suitable lending office would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or
directive, whether or not having the force of law, then, if Note Trustee or the
Noteholder so elects by notice to Issuers, the interest rate applicable to the
then outstanding principal balance of the Notes shall be converted to the Prime
Rate plus the Spread.

                  (f) Note Trustee shall use reasonable good faith efforts to
avoid or mitigate any increased cost, reduced receivable or suspension of the
availability of LIBOR under Sections 2.2.2(c), (d) or (e) to the greatest extent
practicable (including transferring the obligations under this Indenture to
another lending office or Affiliate of Note Trustee and reasonably assisting
Issuers' recovery of any tax payment made by it) unless, in the opinion of Note
Trustee, such efforts would be likely to have any material adverse effect upon
it or the Noteholders.

                  (g) In the event that Note Trustee or the Noteholders makes a
request to the Issuers for compensation in accordance with Section 2.2.2(c), (d)
or (e), then, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
at such time, the Issuers may at their option, request that Note Trustee use its
reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to avoid
the need for paying such compensation or such inability, including changing the
jurisdiction of its applicable lender office; provided, however, that the taking
of such action would not, in the sole judgment of such Note Trustee, be
disadvantageous to such Note Trustee or the Noteholders.

                  2.2.3 Default Rate. If an Event of Default shall have occurred
and is continuing (including the failure of Issuers to make a payment of
principal or interest on the Payment Date therefor), Issuers shall pay interest
at the Default Rate on the outstanding amount of the Notes and due but unpaid
interest thereon, upon demand from time to time (which interest is payable both
before and after Note Trustee has obtained a judgment with respect to the
Notes), to the extent permitted by applicable law. Payment or acceptance of the
increased rates provided for in this Section is not a permitted alternative to
timely payment or full performance by Issuers and shall not constitute a waiver
of any Default or Event of Default or an amendment to this Indenture or any
other Transaction Document and shall not otherwise prejudice or limit any rights
or remedies of Note Trustee or the Noteholders.

                  Section 2.3. Repayment.

                  2.3.1 Payments at Closing. On the Closing Date, Issuers paid
an installment of interest in an amount equal to Stub Interest as provided in
Section 2.1.2(vii).

                  2.3.2 Monthly Debt Service Payments. Commencing with the
Initial Payment Date, and on each and every Payment Date thereafter until but
excluding the Maturity Date, Issuers shall pay Note Trustee interest at the
Applicable Interest Rate for and through the end of the applicable Interest
Accrual Period on the Outstanding Principal Amount as computed in accordance
with Section 2.2.2 hereof (the "Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount").

                  2.3.3 Payment on Maturity Date. (a) Issuers shall repay any
Outstanding Principal Amount in full on the Maturity Date, together with all
accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the end of the Interest Accrual
Period during which such Maturity Date occurs (even if such period extends
beyond the Maturity Date) and all other amounts which are then due and payable
to Note Trustee or the Noteholders hereunder or under the Notes, the Mortgage,
and the other Transaction Documents.

                  (b) The "Maturity Date" shall initially be the Initial
Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuers shall have three
successive options to extend the Initial Maturity Date. The scheduled Maturity
Date if (a) one such option is exercised shall be the Payment Date in July,
2007, (b) two such options are exercised shall be the Payment Date in July,
2008, and (c) three such options are exercised shall be the Payment Date in
July, 2009. In order to exercise any such extension right, Issuers shall deliver
to Note Trustee notice of such extension at least thirty (30) days, but not more
than 120 days, prior to the Maturity Date as in effect immediately prior to such
extension (the Maturity Date, as so in effect, is hereinafter referred to as the
"Extension Date" applicable to such extension), and the following conditions
must be satisfied as of the Extension Date applicable to the corresponding
extension: (i) no Event of Default (including, without limitation, an Event of
Default of the type described in Article 10(a)(i)) shall then be continuing;
(ii) Issuers shall have obtained an Extension Interest Rate Cap Agreement for
the First, Second or Third Extension Term, as applicable, and collaterally
assigned such Extension Interest Rate Cap Agreement to Note Trustee as described
in Sections 2.7(b) and 2.7(c); and (iii) Issuers shall have paid (A) all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Note Trustee or the Noteholders
(and, if applicable, any servicer in connection with a Securitization) up to an
aggregate total of $10,000, and (B) the actual expenses incurred by each of the
Rating Agencies, in each case, in connection with Issuers' exercise of such
extension option. Upon the giving of each notice of extension hereunder, and
subject to the conditions set forth below in this Section 2.3.3, the Maturity
Date as theretofore in effect will be extended to the respective Payment Date
specified above (the first, second and third such extension periods are
hereinafter respectively referred to as the "First Extension Term", the "Second
Extension Term" and the "Third Extension Term"). If Issuers fail to exercise any
extension option in accordance with the provisions hereof, such extension
option, and any subsequent extension option hereunder, will automatically cease
and terminate.

                  2.3.4 Making of Payments. Each payment by Issuers hereunder or
under the Notes shall be made in funds settled through the New York Clearing
House Interbank Payments System or other funds immediately available to Note
Trustee by 11:00 a.m. New York City time, on the date such payment is due and
shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America by wire transfer
in federal or other immediately available funds to the Deposit Account, or such
other account pursuant to such other wiring instructions as provided by Note
Trustee. Any funds received by Note Trustee after such time shall, for all
purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business
Day. Note Trustee shall notify Issuers in writing of any changes in the account
to which payments are to be made. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever
any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day
which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the first Business
Day immediately prior thereto.

                  2.3.5 Intentionally Deleted.

                  2.3.6 No Setoffs. All amounts due hereunder or under the Notes
or the other Transaction Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim
or any other deduction whatsoever.

                  2.3.7 Account. Note Trustee shall maintain an account on its
books in the name of Issuers in which will be recorded the Notes and all
payments and prepayments of principal of and interest on the Notes (provided
that any error in such issuance account shall not in any manner affect the
obligations of Issuers to repay the Notes in accordance with the terms of this
Indenture, the Notes and the other Transaction Documents). In addition to the
rights of Issuers to have informational computer access to the Deposit Account,
the Holding Account, the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account and any other Reserve
Accounts, Note Trustee shall, upon the written request of Issuers, not more
often than monthly, provide such information as it has in its possession
regarding the records maintained in accordance with the first sentence hereof
and information regarding funds on deposit in the Holding Account. In addition,
Note Trustee shall (or shall direct any servicer in connection with a
Securitization), to provide to Issuers, within five (5) Business Days of the end
of each month, monthly reports showing deposits into and disbursements,
transfers or credits, as the case may be, from the Tax and Insurance Escrow
Account and each other Reserve Account, and setting forth, as of the end of each
month, a schedule of the Permitted Investments contained in each such account
and schedules of all transactions involving Permitted Investments during the
month.

                  Section 2.4. Prepayment.

                  2.4.1 No Prepayment. Other than as set forth in Sections 2.4.2
and 10.1(d) below, or as required or permitted pursuant hereto in connection
with a Casualty or Condemnation, Issuers shall have no right to prepay all or
any portion of the Notes prior to the Permitted Prepayment Date.

                  2.4.2 Permitted Prepayment. A. From and after the Permitted
Prepayment Date and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Section 2.4.2, the Issuers may prepay the Notes at any time in whole or in part
(hereinafter, a "Prepayment"), provided that (a) the Issuers shall provide not
less than 30 days' and not more than 120 days' prior written notice (a
"Prepayment Notice") to Note Trustee specifying the date on which the Prepayment
is scheduled to occur and such scheduled payment date shall not be on any date
during the two (2) Business Day period prior to the beginning of any Interest
Accrual Period, but not including, the first day of such Interest Accrual Period
in such calendar month (such scheduled date, the "Prepayment Date"), which
notice shall indicate the principal amount of the Notes to be so prepaid and the
specific Property to be released from the Lien of the Transaction Documents
pursuant to such Prepayment and (b) the Issuers shall have paid Debt Service
(i.e., accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being repaid) upon
making such Prepayment through the end of the Interest Accrual Period in which
the Prepayment is to occur (even if such period extends beyond the scheduled
prepayment date). It is the intention and agreement of the parties that, subject
to the requirements and limitations set forth in the previous sentence, any
Property may, from and after the Permitted Prepayment Date, be the subject of a
Prepayment and simultaneous release of the Liens of the Transaction Documents;
provided (i) the amount of the Prepayment equals or exceeds the Release Amount
for the Property, and (ii) the provisions of Section 2.5.2 are complied with. On
the Prepayment Date, Issuers shall pay to Note Trustee the amount of the
Prepayment specified in the notice, all accrued and unpaid interest on the
principal balance of the Notes being so repaid through and including the date
that is the last day of the Interest Accrual Period in which such Prepayment
occurs, all other sums then due under the Notes, this Indenture, the applicable
Mortgage and the other Transaction Documents, and all reasonable costs and
expenses of Note Trustee incurred in connection with the Prepayment, including
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements. Note Trustee shall not be
obligated to accept any Prepayment of the principal balance of the Notes, or any
portion thereof, unless it is accompanied by the prepayment consideration due in
connection therewith pursuant to the terms hereof.

                  B. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if a
Prepayment Notice has been sent in good faith and no Event of Default is then
continuing, such Prepayment Notice may be rescinded or deferred by Issuers upon
delivery of written notice to Note Trustee (specifying, in the case of a
deferral, the new Prepayment Date for such Prepayment) at least five Business
Days prior to the Prepayment Date specified in the applicable Prepayment Notice
(provided that Issuers shall compensate Note Trustee and the Noteholders for any
and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Note Trustee, Noteholders,
and/or their agents resulting from such rescission or deferral).

                  2.4.3 Repayment upon Default. If all or any part of the
principal amount of the Notes are prepaid upon acceleration of the Notes
following the occurrence of an Event of Default, Issuers shall be obligated to
pay all amounts that would be payable in connection with a Prepayment under
Section 2.4.2A, including all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal
balance of the Notes through the date that is the final day of the applicable
Interest Accrual Period or, if prohibited by law, through the date of repayment
plus Breakage Costs (including interest owed at the Default Rate), the
Acceleration Prepayment Premium (if such prepayment is made during the Lockout
Period), all other sums then due under the Notes, this Indenture, the Mortgage
and the other Transaction Documents, and all costs and expenses of Note Trustee
and the Noteholders incurred in connection with such Event of Default, including
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements.

                  2.4.4 Waiver of Prepayment Rights. Each Issuer acknowledges
that the inclusion of the waiver of prepayment rights and the agreement to pay
any amounts necessary in connection with the right to prepay the Notes as set
forth in this Section 2.4, as applicable, as well as the other agreements set
forth herein in respect of prepayment, were separately negotiated with Note
Trustee, that the economic value of the various elements of this waiver and
agreement was discussed, that the consideration given by Issuers for the Notes
was adjusted to reflect the specific waiver and agreement negotiated between
Issuers and Note Trustee and contained herein.

                  2.4.5 Intentionally Deleted.

                  Section 2.5. Release of Properties. Except as set forth in
this Section 2.5, no repayment or prepayment of all or any portion of the Notes
shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the
release of the Lien of any Mortgage on any Property.

                  2.5.1 Release upon Payment in Full. (a) Note Trustee shall, at
the expense of Issuers, upon payment in full of all principal and interest on
the Notes and all other amounts due and payable under the Transaction Documents
in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Notes and this Indenture,
release or assign (at Issuers' cost and expense) the Lien of the Mortgage and
related Transaction Documents with respect to all of the Properties; provided,
however, that voluntary prepayments and any related releases of Properties from
the Lien of the Mortgage will be subject to the conditions set forth in Sections
2.4 and 2.5.

                  (b) In connection with the release of the Lien contemplated in
Section 2.5.1(a), Issuers shall submit to Note Trustee, not less than ten (10)
days prior to the date of such release, a release of Liens (and related
Transaction Documents) for each applicable Property (for execution by Note
Trustee) in a form appropriate in the applicable state and otherwise
satisfactory to Note Trustee in its reasonable discretion and all other
documentation Note Trustee reasonably requires to be delivered by Issuers in
connection with such release (collectively, "Release Instruments"), together
with an Officer's Certificate certifying that such documentation (i) is in
compliance with all Legal Requirements, and (ii) will effect such releases in
accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

                  2.5.2 Release of Individual Properties. On one or more
occasions, subject to satisfaction of each of the conditions set forth in
paragraphs (a) through (e) below and the terms of Section 2.4.2 hereof, the
Issuers may obtain (i) the release of any Property or Properties from the Lien
of the Mortgage thereon and related Transaction Documents, (ii) the release of
the obligations of the Issuers under the Transaction Documents with respect to
such released Property or Properties (other than those expressly stated to
survive) and (iii) the remittance to Issuers of any amounts held in any Reserve
Accounts specifically relating to the subject Property or Properties:

                  (a) Issuers shall have paid the Release Amount for such
Property in connection with a Prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 2.4.2.

<PAGE>

                  (b) Issuers shall submit to Note Trustee not less than ten
(10) days prior to the date of such release, all Release Instruments for each
applicable Property (for execution by Note Trustee) together with an Officer's
Certificate certifying that (i) the Release Instruments are in compliance with
all Legal Requirements, (ii) the release to be effected will not violate the
terms of this Indenture, (iii) the release to be effected will not impair or
otherwise adversely affect the Liens, security interests and other rights of
Note Trustee under the Transaction Documents not being released (or as to the
parties to the Transaction Documents and Properties subject to the Transaction
Documents not being released) and (iv) the requirement described in paragraph
(c) below is satisfied in connection with such Release (together with
calculations demonstrating the same in reasonable detail).

                  (c) With respect to any release of a Property, after giving
effect to such release, the Aggregate DSCR as of the date of the proposed
release, for all of the Properties then remaining subject to the Liens of the
Mortgages shall not be less than the greater of (A) the Closing Date DSCR and
(B) the Aggregate DSCR for the Properties subject to the Lien of the Mortgage
immediately prior to the release in question; provided, however, that this
Section 2.5.2(c) shall not be applicable in connection with a partial prepayment
of any of the Notes required to be made in connection with a Casualty or
Condemnation. Issuers shall have the right to repay a portion of the Notes in
excess of the applicable Release Amount that is necessary to comply with the
requirement in this Section 2.5.2(c).

                  (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at Issuers' request
and at Issuers' sole cost and expense, in lieu of applying any monies as a
prepayment of the Notes along with a release of the Lien of the Mortgage and the
other Transaction Documents with respect to any Property released in accordance
with the terms hereof from and after the Permitted Prepayment Date, Note Trustee
agrees that it shall, in consideration of an amount equal to the Release Amount
for such Property and any additional amount paid pursuant to Section 2.5.2(c),
sever the Note in two, with one Note in the amount of the Release Amount and any
additional amount paid pursuant to Section 2.5.2(c) and the other Note in the
amount of the remaining Outstanding Principal Amount, endorse the Note in the
amount of the Release Amount and any additional amount paid pursuant to Section
2.5.2(c), and assign the Mortgage and other Transaction Documents with respect
to such Property, to a lender designated by Issuer, and Note Trustee shall
execute and deliver to Issuer such instruments and other documents as shall be
necessary or appropriate to evidence any such assignment of the Transaction
Documents and that portion of the principal balance of the Notes.

                  (e) No Event of Default shall exist on the date the Prepayment
is made (except as otherwise provided in Section 10.1(d)).

                  (f) Provided the Aggregate DSCR requirement in Section
2.5.2(c)(B) is satisfied and subject to the provisions of the next sentence,
Issuer shall not be obligated to prepay the Notes by more than 100% of the net
sale proceeds received from a bona-fide third party purchaser in connection with
a sale and permitted release of an individual Property or group of Properties.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the principal amount of the
Notes prepaid be less than the applicable Release Amount with respect to an
individual Property or group of Properties, as applicable.

                  2.5.3 Release of Las Palmas Outparcel. In order to comply with
that certain Real Estate Lease, dated August 14, 1981, by and among Marriott
Corporation and William Bone, as amended by that certain Assignment and
Amendment of Real Estate Lease, dated May 17, 1988, by and among Marriott
Corporation, William Bone, Rancho Las Palmas Association, Inc. and the Equitable
Life Assurance Society of the United States (the "Amended Las Palmas Real Estate
Lease"), Issuers may obtain (and Note Trustee agrees to reasonably cooperate
with Issuers to obtain) (i) releases of the portion of the Marriott Las Palmas
Property set forth on Exhibit G (as such release parcel legal description may be
modified as required by applicable laws or the Amended Las Palmas Real Estate
Lease, provided that such modification does not have a Material Adverse Effect,
in the reasonable discretion of the Note Trustee, on the use or value of the
Marriott Las Palmas Property) required to be transferred to the Ranchos Las
Palmas Association, Inc. pursuant to the Amended Las Palmas Real Estate Lease
(the "Las Palmas Outparcel") from the Lien of the Mortgage thereon and related
Transaction Documents and (ii) the release of the obligations of the Issuers
under the Transaction Documents with respect to the Las Palmas Outparcel (other
than those expressly stated to survive), upon the satisfaction by Issuer of each
of the conditions set forth below in paragraphs (a) through (k):

                  (a) The Las Palmas Outparcel shall constitute a separate
conveyable legal parcel in accordance with the subdivision map act or the
equivalent thereof in the jurisdiction of the applicable Property or other
relevant granted government approvals in such jurisdiction.

                  (b) To the extent any easements benefiting or burdening the
Las Palmas Outparcel are necessary or appropriate for the use or operation of
such parcel or the remaining portions of the applicable Property (such remaining
portion of an applicable Property, the "Remaining Property"), such easements
shall have been granted or reserved prior to or at the time of the release or
reconveyance of the Las Palmas Outparcel and shall either (i) be required by the
Amended Las Palmas Real Estate Lease or (ii) have been approved by a majority
(by Outstanding Principal Amount) of the Noteholders, which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

                  (c) The Remaining Property shall remain a legal parcel (or
parcels) in compliance in all material respects with all Legal Requirements,
zoning, subdivision, land use and other applicable laws and regulations.

                  (d) At the time of, but not prior to, any release or
reconveyance, the Las Palmas Outparcel shall be transferred to a person or
entity that does not result in a breach of Issuer's obligation to be a Single
Purpose Entity.

                  (e) Note Trustee shall have received satisfactory evidence
that (i) any tax, bond or assessment that constitutes a lien against the
applicable Property has prior to such release, been properly allocated between
the Las Palmas Outparcel and the Remaining Property and (ii) all of the
necessary papers have been filed with the appropriate agencies to provide for
separate assessment against each of the Las Palmas Outparcel and the Remaining
Property.

                  (f) Note Trustee shall have received such endorsements to the
Qualified Title Policy (or substantially equivalent assurance) for the
applicable Property as Note Trustee may reasonably require confirming continuing
title insurance and that (i) the Mortgage constitutes a first priority lien
(subject to Permitted Encumbrances) on the Remaining Property after the release
and (ii) such release shall not result in the Remaining Property ceasing to
comply in all material respects with all applicable zoning, land use and
subdivision laws.

<PAGE>

                  (g) Issuer shall have executed and delivered such documents
(including amendments to the Transaction Documents) as Note Trustee may
reasonably require to reflect such release.

                  (h) Issuer shall impose deed restrictions (which run with the
land) or obtain such transferee's covenant (which, in either case, shall be
enforceable by the owner of the applicable Remaining Property and its successors
and assigns) as provided in Section 5.1 of the Amended Las Palmas Real Estate
Lease above and Issuer shall further covenant and agree to enforce in Issuer's
reasonable judgment, such transferee's deed restrictions and covenants, the
foregoing covenants of Issuer shall survive the release of the Las Palmas
Outparcel.

                  (i) Issuer shall pay to Note Trustee all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Note Trustee or the Noteholders
(including, without limitation, attorneys fees and any applicable costs and
expenses of the Rating Agencies) in connection with the release.

                  (j) Issuer shall have provided Note Trustee at least thirty
(30) days prior written notice of the release.

                  (k) Issuers shall submit to Note Trustee not less than ten
(10) days prior to the date of such release, all Release Instruments for the Las
Palmas Outparcel (for execution by Note Trustee) together with an Officer's
Certificate certifying that (i) the Release Instruments are in compliance with
all Legal Requirements, (ii) the release to be effected will not violate the
terms of this Indenture and (iii) the release to be effected will not impair or
otherwise adversely affect the Liens, security interests and other rights of
Note Trustee under the Transaction Documents not being released (or as to the
parties to the Transaction Documents and Properties subject to the Transaction
Documents not being released).

                  2.5.4 Further Assurances. To the extent any Release Instrument
executed and delivered under Sections 2.5.2(b) or 2.5.3(k), as the case may be,
is insufficient to effect the release to be effected in accordance with the
terms hereof, Note Trustee (and any servicer in connection with a
Securitization) shall remain obligated to execute and deliver, at the expense of
the Issuers, such further Release Instruments as Issuers may reasonably request
and submit to Note Trustee, together with an Officer's Certificate covering the
matters to be covered in the Officer's Certificate described in Sections
2.5.2(b) or 2.5.3(k), as the case may be.

                  In addition to the foregoing, the Issuer which as of the
Closing Date was the owner of a Property being released from the Lien of the
Mortgage pursuant to any provision of Section 2.5 hereof, shall be released from
all liability with respect to the Debt, the Notes and all other Transaction
Documents with the express exception that such Issuer shall continue to be
jointly and severally liable for and with respect to any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims,
costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which (and to
the extent) have become due and payable under Section 12.13 prior to the date of
the release of such Property.

                  Section 2.7. Interest Rate Cap Agreements.

                  (a) Issuers shall maintain the Interest Rate Cap Agreement
with an Acceptable Counterparty in effect and having a term extending through
July 14, 2006 and an initial notional amount equal to the Outstanding Principal
Amount. The Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall have a strike rate equal to an
amount such that the maximum interest rate paid by Issuers after giving effect
to payments made under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall equal no more than
the Maximum Pay Rate. The notional amount of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement may
be reduced from time to time and in an amount equal to any prepayment which is
applied to reduce the principal balance of the Notes in accordance with Section
2.4 hereof; provided that the strike rate shall be equal to an amount such that
the maximum interest rate paid by Issuers after giving effect to payments made
under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall equal no more than the Maximum Pay
Rate.

                  (b) In the event of (x) any downgrade, withdrawal or
qualification (each, a "Downgrade") of the rating of the Counterparty such that,
thereafter, the Counterparty shall cease to be an Acceptable Counterparty and
(y) the Counterparty shall fail to comply with the requirements contained in the
Interest Rate Cap Agreement which are described in Exhibit C upon such
occurrence, the Issuers shall either (i) obtain a Rating Confirmation from the
Applicable Rating Agency with respect to the Counterparty or (ii) replace the
Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a Replacement Interest Cap Agreement, (x)
having a term extending through the end of the Interest Accrual Period in which
occurs the Maturity Date, (y) in a notional amount at least equal to the
Outstanding Principal Amount, and (z) having a strike rate equal to an amount
such that the maximum interest rate paid by Issuer after giving effect to
payments made under such Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall equal no
more than the Maximum Pay Rate.

                  (c) Each Issuer hereby pledges, assigns, transfers, delivers
and grants a continuing first priority lien to Note Trustee, as security for
payment of all sums due in respect of the Notes and the performance of all other
terms, conditions and covenants of this Indenture and any other Transaction
Document on such Issuer's part to be paid and performed, in, to and under all of
such Issuer's right, title and interest: (i) in the Interest Rate Cap Agreement
(as soon as such agreement is effective or when and if any replacement agreement
becomes effective, any Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement or Extension
Interest Rate Cap Agreement); (ii) to receive any and all payments under the
Interest Rate Cap Agreement (or, when and if any such agreement becomes
effective, any Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement or Extension Interest
Rate Cap Agreement), whether as contractual obligations, damages or otherwise;
and (iii) to all claims, rights, powers, privileges, authority, options,
security interests, liens and remedies, if any, under or arising out of the
Interest Rate Cap Agreement (as soon as such agreement is effective or when and
if any such agreement becomes effective, any Replacement Interest Rate Cap
Agreement or Extension Interest Rate Cap Agreement), in each case including all
accessions and additions to, substitutions for and replacements, products and
proceeds of any of the foregoing. Issuers shall deliver to Note Trustee an
executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Replacement Interest
Rate Cap Agreement or Extension Interest Rate Cap Agreement (which shall, by its
terms, authorize the assignment to Note Trustee and require that payments be
made directly to Note Trustee) and notify the Counterparty of such assignment
(either in such Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Replacement Interest Rate Cap
Agreement or Extension Interest Rate Cap Agreement or by separate instrument).
No Issuer shall, without obtaining the prior written consent of a majority (by
Outstanding Principal Amount) of the Noteholders, further pledge, transfer,
deliver, assign or grant any security interest in the Interest Rate Cap
Agreement (or, when and if any such agreement becomes effective, any Replacement
Interest Rate Cap Agreement or Extension Interest Rate Cap Agreement), or permit
any Lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or
any UCC-1 Financing Statements or any other notice or instrument as may be
required under the UCC, as appropriate, except those naming Note Trustee as the
secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.

                  (d) Issuers shall comply with all of their obligations under
the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (or, as applicable,
any Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement or Extension Interest Rate Cap
Agreement). All amounts paid by the Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap
Agreement (or, as applicable, any Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement or
Extension Interest Rate Cap Agreement) to Issuers or Note Trustee shall be
deposited immediately into the Deposit Account. Issuers shall take all action
reasonably requested by Note Trustee to enforce Note Trustee's rights under the
Interest Rate Cap Agreement (or, as applicable, any Replacement Interest Rate
Cap Agreement or Extension Interest Rate Cap Agreement) in the event of a
default by the Counterparty and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any
of its rights thereunder.

                  (e) If Issuers exercise any of their options to extend the
Maturity Date pursuant to Section 2.3.3(b) hereof, then, on or prior to each
Extension Date, the Issuers shall obtain or have in place an Extension Interest
Rate Cap Agreement (i) having a term through the end of the Interest Accrual
Period in which occurs the Maturity Date as so extended, (ii) in a notional
amount at least equal to the Outstanding Principal Amount as of such Extension
Date, and (iii) having a strike rate equal to an amount such that the maximum
interest rate paid by the Issuers after giving effect to payments made under

Pay Rate.

Notes remain Outstanding and are "restricted securities" within the meaning of
Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, the Issuers will, during any period in
which the Issuers are neither subject to Section 13 or 15(d) under the Exchange
Act nor exempt from reporting under the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b)
thereunder, make available to any Holder of a Restricted Note or any owner of a
beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note, to a prospective purchaser of
such Note or beneficial interest therein who is a QIB, or to the Note Trustee

case may be, in connection with any sale thereof, in each case at a Holder's or
the Note Trustee's written request to the Issuers, the Rule 144A Information.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
                         ------------------------------

                  Section 4.1. Issuers' Representations. Each Issuer represents
and warrants that, as of the Closing Date:

                  (a) Organization. Each of Issuer and Operating Lessee has been
duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing with requisite
limited liability company power and authority to own its properties and to
transact the businesses in which it is now engaged. Each of Issuer and Operating
Lessee is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each
jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its
properties, businesses and operations. Each of Issuer and Operating Lessee
possesses all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or
otherwise, necessary to entitle it to own its properties and to transact the
businesses in which it is now engaged, and its sole business has been and is the
ownership, management and operation of one or more of the Properties.

                  (b) Proceedings. Each of Issuer and Operating Lessee has taken
all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of
this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. This
Indenture and such other Transaction Documents have been duly executed and
delivered by it and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of such
Issuer and Operating Lessee enforceable against such Issuer and Operating Lessee
in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally and general
principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a
proceeding in equity or at law) without offset, defense or counterclaim.

                  (c) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of
this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents by each of Issuer and
Operating Lessee will not conflict with or result in a material breach of any of
the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the
creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance (other than pursuant
to the Transaction Documents) upon any of its properties or assets pursuant to
the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, License,
partnership agreement, Property Management Agreement, Operating Lease, or other
Material Agreement to which it is a party or to which any of its properties or
assets is subject nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions
of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental
agency or body having jurisdiction over it or any of its properties or assets,
and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification
of or with any court or any such regulatory authority or other governmental
agency or body required for the execution, delivery and performance by it of
this Indenture or any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party has
been obtained and is in full force and effect except where the failure to obtain
the same could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  (d) Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings at
law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now
pending and to the best of its knowledge there are no such actions, suits or
proceedings threatened against or affecting each of Issuer and Operating Lessee
or a Property, which actions, suits or proceedings, alone or in the aggregate,
if determined against it or a Property, are likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

                                       82
<PAGE>

                  (e) Agreements. Each of Issuer and Operating Lessee is not a
party to any agreement which is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each
of Issuer and Operating Lessee is not in default in any material respect in the
performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or
conditions contained in any Permitted Encumbrance or any other agreement or
instrument to which it is a party or by which it or a Property is bound.

                  (f) Title. It has good, marketable and indefeasible title in
fee to the real property comprising part of each Property (except for (a) the
Lincolnshire Property, as to which the Lincolnshire Issuer has good and
marketable title to the leasehold estate created therein pursuant to the Ground
Lease, and (b) the Mexican Properties as to which the Mexican Issuers have good
and marketable title to the rights of second beneficiary under the Mexican Trust
Agreement), and Issuer or Operating Lessee has good and marketable title to the
balance of each Property, in each case free and clear of all Liens whatsoever
except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to
the Transaction Documents and the Liens created by the Transaction Documents.
Each Mortgage, when properly recorded in the appropriate records (and public
registries), together with the Assignment of Leases and any Uniform Commercial
Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will
create (i) a valid, perfected first priority lien on the Properties or its
leasehold interest therein, as the case may be, subject only to Permitted
Encumbrances and (ii) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected
collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in
accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable
Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the
Transaction Documents and the Liens created or permitted by the Transaction
Documents. The Permitted Encumbrances do not and will not materially adversely
affect or interfere with the value, or current use or operation, of any
Property, or the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or Issuers'
ability to repay the Notes or any other Transaction Document in accordance with
the terms of the Transaction Documents. Except as indicated in and insured over
by a Qualified Title Insurance Policy issued as of the Closing Date, there are
no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting any Property which
are or may become a lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created
by the Transaction Documents (other than mechanics' or materialmen's liens for
work or materials performed or supplied the costs for which are not yet past due
or which are being contested in accordance with Section 5.1(b)(ii) hereof).
Nothing in this paragraph may be relied on by the title insurance company
issuing a policy covering any Property. Each Assignment of Leases, when properly
recorded in the appropriate records (and public registries), creates a valid
first priority assignment of, or a valid first priority security interest in,
certain rights under the related Leases and the Rents, subject only to the terms
of such Assignments of Leases, including a license granted to the applicable
Issuer or Operating Lessee to exercise certain rights and to perform certain
obligations of the lessor under such Leases, including the right to operate the
applicable Property. Except as set forth in the Property Management Agreements,
no Person other than the applicable Issuer and/or Operating Lessee owns any
interest in any payments due under such Leases that is superior to or of equal
priority with the Note Trustee's interest therein.

                  (g) No Bankruptcy Filing. Each of Issuer and Operating Lessee
is not contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or
federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of its assets or
property, and it has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any
such petition against it.

                                       83

                  (h) Ground Leased Property. Other than those items
specifically identified on Schedule 4.1(h) hereto, with respect to the
Lincolnshire Property:

                           (i) the Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof has been
         duly recorded; the Ground Lease permits the interest of the lessee
         thereunder to be encumbered by the Mortgage and does not restrict the
         use of the Lincolnshire Property by the Lincolnshire Issuer in a manner
         that would adversely affect the value or use of the Lincolnshire
         Property or the security provided to Note Trustee by the Mortgage; and
         a true and complete copy of the Ground Lease has been delivered to Note
         Trustee;

                           (ii) the Ground Lease has an original term (or an
         original term plus one or more optional renewal terms which have been
         previously exercised) which extends not less than ten (10) years beyond
         the Maturity Date (assuming the exercise of all applicable extension
         options by Issuer hereunder); and the base rental under the Ground
         Lease is not subject to increase;

                           (iii) the Ground Lease is not subject to any liens or
         encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the Mortgage
         (other than the related ground lessor's fee interest); there is no deed
         of trust or Lien encumbering Ground Lessor's fee interest (or if any
         such deed of trust or Lien exists, it is subordinate to the Lien held
         by Note Trustee under the Mortgage), and the Ground Lease shall remain
         prior to any deed of trust or other Lien upon the related fee interest
         that may hereafter be granted;

                           (iv) the Ground Lease is assignable by a holder of a
         deed of trust or mortgage encumbering the Lincolnshire Issuer's
         interest therein upon a foreclosure of such deed of trust or mortgage
         without the consent of the Ground Lessor;

                           (v) on the date hereof, the Ground Lease is in full
         force and effect and no default has occurred under the Ground Lease
         nor, to the best of the Lincolnshire Issuer's knowledge after due
         inquiry and investigation, is there any existing condition which, but
         for the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would result
         in a default under the terms of the Ground Lease;

                           (vi) the Ground Lease requires the Ground Lessor to
         give notice of any default by the Lincolnshire Issuer to a holder of a
         deed of trust or mortgage encumbering the Lincolnshire Issuer's
         interest therein; and the Ground Lease further provides that no notice
         given thereunder is effective against such holder, unless a copy has
         been given to such holder in the manner described in the Ground Lease;
         Note Trustee constitutes a "mortgagee" as such term is used in the
         Ground Lease;

                           (vii) a holder of a deed of trust or mortgage
         encumbering the Lincolnshire Issuer's interest therein is permitted at
         least thirty (30) days in addition to the Lincolnshire Issuer's
         applicable cure period to cure any default under the Ground Lease which
         is curable after the receipt of notice of any such default before the
         Ground Lessor may terminate the Ground Lease (and, where necessary, is
         permitted the opportunity to gain possession of the interest of the
         Lincolnshire Issuer under the Ground Lease through legal proceedings or
         to take other action so long as such holder is proceeding diligently);
         in the case of any such default which is not curable by a holder of a
         deed of trust or mortgage encumbering the Lincolnshire Issuer's
         interest therein, or in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of
         the Lincolnshire Issuer under the Ground Lease, such holder has the
         right, following termination of the existing Ground Lease or rejection
         thereof by a bankruptcy trustee or similar party, to enter into a new
         ground lease with the Ground Lessor on the same terms as the existing
         Ground Lease; and all rights of the lessee under the Ground Lease may
         be exercised by or on behalf of such holder;

                                       84
<PAGE>

                           (viii) the Ground Lease does not impose any
         restrictions on subletting; and the Ground Lessor is not permitted to
         disturb the possession, interest or quiet enjoyment of any subtenant of
         the Lincolnshire Issuer in the relevant portion of the Lincolnshire
         Property subject to the Ground Lease for any reason, or in any manner,
         which could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the security
         provided to Note Trustee by the Mortgage; and

                           (ix) under the terms of the Ground Lease, any
         Proceeds from a Condemnation or Casualty (or any portion thereof) will
         be applied either to restoration of the Lincolnshire Property (with
         Note Trustee or a third-party trustee having the right to hold and
         disburse the Proceeds as the restoration progresses) or (after payment
         to the Ground Lessor of an amount equal to the value of the leased
         land) to the repayment of the Notes.

                  (i) No Plan Assets. It is not an Employee Benefit Plan subject
to Title I of ERISA, and none of its assets constitutes or will constitute Plan
Assets.

                  (j) Compliance. Except as set forth on Schedule 6.1(g), each
of Issuer and Operating Lessee and each Property and the use thereof comply in
all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including building
and zoning ordinances and codes. Except as set forth on Schedule 6.1(g), each
Property is not a non-conforming use or legal non-conforming use (except to the
extent that the same would not affect in any material respect the operation,
maintenance, value or use of the Property in question or the ability to
reconstruct such Property). Each of Issuer and Operating Lessee is not in
default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any
Governmental Authority (including laws and regulations concerning facility
licensing and operation and certificate of need), the violation of which could
have a Material Adverse Effect. There has not been committed by or on behalf of
each of Issuer and Operating Lessee or, to the best of its knowledge, any other
person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of any Property any
act or omission affording the federal government or any state or local
government the right of forfeiture as against any Property or any part thereof
or any monies paid in performance of its obligations under any of the
Transaction Documents. Each of Issuer and Operating Lessee hereby covenants and
agrees not to commit, and to use all reasonable efforts not to permit or suffer
to exist any act or omission affording such right of forfeiture.

                                       85
<PAGE>

                  (k) Contracts. Except as disclosed in Schedule F, there are no
Material Agreements. Each contract, other than the Operating Lease, affecting
each Property has been entered into at arm's length in the ordinary course of
business by or on behalf of the applicable Issuer or its predecessors in
interest and provides for the payment of fees in amounts and upon terms not less
favorable to the applicable Issuer than market rates and terms.

                  (l) Financial Information. All financial statements described
in Schedule 3.1(o) were prepared by or on behalf of Issuers and delivered to
Note Trustee prior to the date hereof, (i) are true, complete and correct in all
respects, to the extent not subsequently corrected in a written document
delivered to Note Trustee, (ii) accurately represent in all respects the
financial condition or operating results, as applicable, of the Properties
and/or the Issuers as of the date of such reports, and (iii) to the extent that
such financial statements are audited financial statements, such financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (or, in respect of the
Mexican Issuers, Mexican GAAP) with respect to the accounts presented therein.
Issuers do not have any material contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes,
unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses
from any unfavorable commitments, that are known to it and reasonably likely to
have a materially adverse effect on any Property or the operation thereof,
except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements and operating
statements and except for other contingent liabilities not prohibited by Section
6.1(h) hereof. Except as set forth in the certified information delivered to
Note Trustee pursuant to Section 3.1(o) hereof, since the Closing Date, there
has been no change in the financial condition, operations or business of Issuers
from that set forth in said financial statements and operating statements that
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  (m) Condemnation. No Condemnation or other proceeding has been
commenced or, to its best knowledge, is contemplated with respect to all or any
portion of any Property or for the relocation of roadways providing access to
any Property.

                  (n) Federal Reserve Regulations. No part of the proceeds of
the Notes will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any "margin
stock" within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose which would be inconsistent with
such Regulation U or any other Regulations of such Board of Governors, or for
any purposes prohibited by Legal Requirements or by the terms and conditions of
this Indenture or the other Transaction Documents.

                  (o) Utilities and Public Access. Each Property has rights of
access to dedicated public ways (and makes no material use of any means of
access or egress that is not pursuant to such dedicated public ways or recorded,
irrevocable rights-of-way or easements) and is served by water, sewer, sanitary
sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to service such Property for its
current uses. All public utilities necessary for the full use and enjoyment of
each Property are located in the public right-of-way abutting the applicable
Property or in or through a recorded irrevocable easement in favor of such
Property, and all such utilities are connected so as to serve the applicable
Property without passing over other property, except to the extent that such
utilities are accessible to the applicable Property by virtue of a recorded
irrevocable easement or similar agreement or right. All roads necessary for the
use of each Property for its current purposes have been completed and are either
part of the applicable Property (by way of deed or recorded easement) or
dedicated to public use and accepted by all relevant Governmental Authorities.

                                       86
<PAGE>

                  (p) Not a Foreign Person. Each Issuer other than the Issuers
that own the Mexican Properties, or if any such Issuer is classified as a
"disregarded entity" for United States federal income tax purposes (a "DRE"),
the owner of such Issuer (and, if such owner is a DRE, the first upper-tier
entity that is not a DRE), is not a "foreign person" within the meaning of ss.
1445(f)(3) of the Code.

                  (q) Separate Lots. Each Property is comprised of one (1) or
more parcels which constitute one or more separate tax lots which do not include
any property not a part of the applicable Property.

                  (r) Basic Carrying Costs; Assessments. Except for Basic
Carrying Costs deposited with Note Trustee in accordance with this Indenture or
deposited in the applicable Hotel Operating Account pursuant to the applicable
Property Management Agreement, it has paid all Basic Carrying Costs due and
payable as of the Closing Date. To the best of its knowledge there are no
pending or proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or
other matters affecting any Property (except as shown in the financial
statements described in clause (l) above), nor, to the best of its knowledge,
are there any contemplated improvements to any Property that are likely to
result in such special or other assessments.

                  (s) Enforceability. The Transaction Documents are not subject
to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by any Issuer
and/or Operating Lessee, including the defense of usury, nor would the operation
of any of the terms of the Transaction Documents, or the exercise of any right
thereunder, render the Transaction Documents unenforceable, subject to laws
affecting the enforcement of the rights or remedies of creditors generally
and/or equitable principles of general application, and no Issuer has asserted
any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.

                  (t) No Prior Assignment. There are no prior assignments of the
Leases or any portion of the Rents due and payable or to become due and payable
which are presently outstanding, except in connection with indebtedness either
to be repaid in full from the proceeds of the Notes or secured by Liens which
have been released concurrently with the Closing Date.

                  (u) Insurance. It has obtained and has delivered to Note
Trustee insurance policies reflecting the insurance coverages, amounts and other
requirements set forth in this Indenture. All premiums on such insurance
policies required to be paid as of the date hereof have been paid for the
current policy period. No claims have been made under any such policy that would
have a material adverse effect with respect to any Property, and no Person,
including any Issuer, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair
the coverage of any such policy.

                  (v) Certificate of Occupancy; Licenses. Except as disclosed in
Schedule 4.1(v), Issuers have obtained, or have caused each of the Property
Managers to obtain pursuant to the Property Management Agreements, all material
certifications, permits, licenses, approvals registrations, authorizations,
accreditations or consents (collectively, the "Licenses"), including
certificates of completion and occupancy permits (or other local equivalent),
required by, and accomplished all filings, notifications, registrations and
qualifications with (or obtained exemptions from any of the foregoing from), any
federal, state, or local government or government department, agency, board,
commission, bureau or instrumentality (i) to properly and legally own, manage
and operate the Properties after any restructuring that will occur in connection
with the transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents and (ii) which
are necessary for the conduct of its business. Each License has been duly
obtained, is valid and in full force and effect, and is not subject to any
pending or, to the knowledge of any Issuer, threatened administrative or
judicial proceeding to revoke, cancel or declare such License invalid in any
respect. No Issuer is in default or violation with respect to any of the
Licenses in a manner that would have a Material Adverse Effect, and no event has
occurred which constitutes, or with due notice or lapse of time or both may
constitute, a default by any Issuer under, or a violation of, any License that
would have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Property has a certificate of
occupancy or other local equivalent (where required by applicable Legal
Requirements) and the use being made of each Property is in conformity with such
applicable certificate of occupancy.

<PAGE>

                  (w) Flood Zone. Except as may be disclosed in Schedule 4.1(w),
none of the Improvements on any Property is located in an area as identified by
the Federal Emergency Management Agency or the Federal Insurance Administration
as an area having special flood hazards (Zone A), and, to the extent that any
part of any Property is located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency as an area federally designated a "100 year flood plain," such
Property is covered by flood insurance meeting the requirements set forth in
Section 8.1(b)(i) hereof.

                  (x) Physical Condition. Except as disclosed in the engineering
reports listed on Schedule 4.1(x), each Property, including all buildings,
improvements, parking facilities, sidewalks, storm drainage systems, roofs,
plumbing systems, HVAC systems, fire protection systems, electrical systems,
equipment, elevators, exterior sidings and doors, landscaping, irrigation
systems and all structural components, are in good condition, order and repair
in all respects material to the use, operation or value of the applicable
Property. There exists no structural or other material defects or damages in any
Property, whether latent or otherwise (except for such matters as are expressly
referred to in Section 9.2, for which reserves are being established), after
taking into account in making such determination remedial efforts being taken by
any Issuer to correct such defect or damages following discovery thereof. It has
not received written notice and is not otherwise aware from any insurance
company or bonding company of any defects or inadequacies in any Property, or
any part thereof, which would, alone or in the aggregate, adversely affect in
any material respect the insurability of the same or cause the imposition of
extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or of any termination or threatened
termination of any policy of insurance or bond.

                  (y) Leases. No Person has any possessory interest in any
Property or right to occupy the same except under and pursuant to the provisions
of the Leases, and true and complete copies of all Leases executed and delivered
on or before the Rent Roll Date have been delivered to Note Trustee (and any
Leases executed and delivered since such date shall be delivered promptly after
the Closing Date). As to all present Leases and (upon execution thereof) all
future Leases relating to each Property, the applicable Issuer will be the sole
owner of the lessor's interest. As to all Leases:

                           (i) There are no outstanding landlord obligations
         with respect to tenant allowances or free rent periods or tenant
         improvement work; all of the obligations and duties of landlord under
         the Leases that are due or are to be performed (as applicable) on or
         prior to the date hereof have been fulfilled, and there are no pending
         claims asserted by any Tenant for offsets or abatements against rent or
         any other monetary claim;

                           (ii) All of the Leases are free and clear of any
         right or interest of any real estate broker or any other person
         (whether or not such brokers or other persons have negotiated the
         Leases or have contracted with Issuers for the collection of the rents
         thereunder), and no brokerage or leasing commission or other
         compensation is or will be due or payable to any person, firm,
         corporation or other entity with respect to or on account of any of the
         Leases;

                           (iii) Schedule 4.1(gg) sets forth all security
         deposits and letters of credit held by or on behalf of the lessor under
         the Leases. All security deposits have been held in accordance with law
         and the terms of the applicable Leases, and no security deposits have
         been applied, or letters of credit drawn upon, following a default by a
         Tenant still in possession;

                           (iv) An Issuer is the sole owner of the lessor's
         interest in all of the Leases and no Issuer has given or suffered any
         other assignment, pledge or encumbrance in respect of any of the Leases
         or its interests thereunder, and the applicable Issuer or Property
         Manager has the sole right to collect rents and other amounts due under
         the Leases;

                           (v) Except as disclosed on Schedule 4.1(gg), no
         Tenant (i) is more than thirty (30) days in arrears on its rent or
         other amounts due to the landlord under its Lease and (ii) no Issuer
         has accepted Rent under any Lease or Operating Agreement for more than
         one month in advance, except for security deposits, which on the
         Closing Date have been deposited with the Note Trustee in accordance
         with the provisions hereof relating to security deposits received from
         and after the date hereof; and

                           (vi) None of the Leases contains any option to
         purchase, any right of first refusal to purchase or any right to
         terminate the lease term (except in the event of the destruction of all
         or substantially all of the applicable Property).

                  (z) Survey. Except as disclosed in writing to Note Trustee,
the survey for each Property delivered to Note Trustee in connection with this
Indenture is a Qualified Survey. Except as may be shown on the Qualified Survey,
all of the improvements relating to each Property lie wholly within the
boundaries and building restriction lines of the applicable Property, and no
improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon such Property, and no
easements or other encumbrances upon such Property encroach upon any of the
improvements, so as, in either case, to materially adversely affect the value or
marketability of the Property in question except Permitted Encumbrances and
those which are insured against by a Qualified Title Insurance Policy. Since the
date of the Qualified Survey relating to each Property referenced in the
applicable Qualified Title Insurance Policy, no new improvement has been
constructed on such Property and there has been no alteration to the exterior of
any existing improvement on such Property (other than routine repair and
replacements of roofs, walls or windows).

stamps, intangible taxes or other amounts in the nature of transfer taxes
required to be paid by any Person under applicable Legal Requirements currently
in effect in connection with the transfer of any of a Property to any Issuer
have been paid in full or deposited with the issuer of a Qualified Title
Insurance Policy for payment upon recordation of the deeds effecting such
transfer. All mortgage, mortgage recording, stamp, intangible or other similar
tax required to be paid by any Person under applicable Legal Requirements
currently in effect in connection with the execution, delivery, recordation,
filing, registration, perfection or enforcement of any of the Transaction
Documents, including the Mortgage, and the Liens intended to be created thereby,

Policy for payment upon recordation of the Mortgage.

                  (bb) Single-Purpose. Each Issuer and Operating Lessee hereby
represents and warrants to, and covenants with, Note Trustee that, as of the
date hereof, and except with respect to the Mexican Issuers, at all times prior
hereto and until such time as the Debt shall be paid in full or its property is
no longer subject to the Lien securing the Debt:

                           (i) It has not owned and will not own any property or
         any other assets other than (A) with respect to the Issuer, the
         Properties currently owned by it, and (B) with respect to the Issuer
         and the Operating Lessee, incidental personal and intangible property
         relating to the ownership, leasing or operation of the Properties;

                           (ii) It was formed solely for the purpose of engaging
         in, and has not engaged and will not engage in, any business other than
         the ownership, leasing, management, financing and operation of the
         Properties;

                           (iii) It has not entered and will not enter into any
         contract or agreement with any of its Affiliates (other than the
         Transaction Documents and Operating Leases), any of its constituent
         parties or any Affiliate of any constituent party, except contracts or
         agreements that are upon terms and conditions that are substantially
         similar to those that would be available on an arm's-length basis with
         third parties;

                           (iv) It will not incur any indebtedness, secured or
         unsecured, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent (including
         guaranteeing any obligation), other than the Permitted Indebtedness.
         Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, no
         indebtedness other than the Debt may be secured (subordinate or pari
         passu) by any Property and no indebtedness other than the Debt and the
         indebtedness described in clauses (iii) and (vi) of the definition of
         Permitted Indebtedness may be secured (subordinate or pari passu) by
         any personal property;

                           (v) Other than as provided in the Transaction
         Documents, it will not make any loans or advances to, and it will not
         pledge its assets for the benefit of, any other Person (including any
         Affiliate or constituent party or any Affiliate of any constituent
         party), and shall not acquire obligations or securities of any
         Affiliate or constituent party or any Affiliate of any constituent
         party;

                                       90
<PAGE>

                           (vi) It is and will remain solvent and it will pay
         its debts and liabilities (including employment and overhead expenses)
         from its assets as the same shall become due;

                           (vii) It has done or caused to be done and will do
         all things necessary to observe limited liability company formalities
         (in all material respects), as the case may be, and preserve its
         existence, and it will not, nor, to the extent possible under
         applicable law, will it permit or suffer any constituent party to
         amend, modify or otherwise change its partnership certificate,
         partnership agreement, certificate of formation (except as required by
         law), limited liability company agreement, articles of incorporation
         and bylaws (estatutos sociales), trust or other organizational
         documents or those of such constituent party in a manner which would
         adversely affect its existence as a Single Purpose Entity;

                           (viii) It has and will maintain books and records,
         financial statements and accounts separate and apart from those of any
         other Person and it will file its own tax returns (except to the extent
         consolidation is required under GAAP or Mexican GAAP, permitted for tax
         purposes or as a matter of law, provided that any consolidated
         financial statements contain a note indicating that it and its
         Affiliates are separate legal entities and maintain records, books of
         account and accounts separate and apart from any other Person);

                           (ix) It has and will be, and at all times has held
         and will hold itself out to the public as, a legal entity separate and
         distinct from any other entity (including any of its Affiliates, any of
         its constituent parties or any Affiliate of any constituent party), has
         and shall conduct business in its own name, has and shall exercise
         reasonable efforts to correct any known misunderstanding actually known
         to it regarding its separate identity, and has and shall maintain and
         utilize separate stationery, invoices and checks and it will reasonably
         allocate any overhead that is shared with any Affiliate, including, but
         not limited to, paying for shared office space and services performed
         by any officer or employee of an Affiliate;

                           (x) It has and will maintain adequate capital for the
         normal obligations reasonably foreseeable in a business of its size and
         character and in light of its contemplated business operations;

                           (xi) To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither
         it nor any constituent party has nor will seek any Issuer's or
         Operating Lessee's dissolution or winding up, in whole or in part;

                           (xii) It does not and will not commingle its funds
         and other assets with those of any Affiliate or constituent party or
         any Affiliate of any constituent party or any other Person except that
         each Issuer and Operating Lessee may commingle its funds with the funds
         of the other Issuers and Operating Lessees in the Deposit Account, in
         the Holding Account, in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account and in
         each of the other Reserve Accounts;

                                       91
<PAGE>

                           (xiii) It has and will maintain its assets in such a
         manner that it will not be costly or difficult to segregate, ascertain
         or identify its individual assets from those of any Affiliate or
         constituent party or any Affiliate of any constituent party or any
         other Person;

                           (xiv) Except in its capacity as a co-obligor under
         the Notes together with the other Issuers, if applicable, it does not
         and will not hold itself or its credit out to be responsible for or
         available to satisfy, and it has not guaranteed or otherwise become
         liable for, and has not and will not guarantee or otherwise become
         liable for, the debts, securities or obligations of any other Person;

                           (xv) If it is a limited liability company, either (a)
         at least one of its members is and shall be a Single Purpose Entity
         (the "SPE Member") whose sole assets are its interest in the applicable
         Issuer or Operating Lessee and that has no less than a one percent (1%)
         membership interest in the applicable Issuer or Operating Lessee, and
         such Issuer or Operating Lessee shall be deemed hereby to have made
         each of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this
         Section 4.1(bb) with respect to the SPE Member, and the SPE Member
         shall have two (2) Independent Directors as duly appointed members of
         its board of directors or (b) it shall have two (2) Independent
         Directors on its board of managers or board of directors (as
         applicable);

                           (xvi) It has and shall, at all times, have a limited
         liability company agreement or estatutos sociales which provides that,
         for so long as the Notes are outstanding and the applicable Issuer's
         Property remains subject to the Lien securing the Debt, its board of
         directors (or (a) if such Issuer or Operating Lessee is a limited
         liability company with a managing member SPE Member, the board of
         directors of the SPE Member or (b) if such Issuer or Operating Lessee
         is a board managed limited liability company with two (2) Independent
         Directors on its board of directors) will not be permitted to take any
         action which, under applicable law or the terms of any certificate of
         incorporation or certificate of formation, limited liability company
         agreement, by-laws or any voting trust agreement with respect to any
         common stock, requires the vote of its board of directors or board of
         managers, unless at the time of such action there shall be at least two
         members of such board who are Independent Directors; provided, however,
         that, subject to any applicable Legal Requirement, its board of
         directors (or if such Issuer or Operating Lessee is a limited liability
         company and is not self managed, the board of directors of its SPE
         Member) may, at its discretion, be permitted to take any action without
         regard to the preceding clause of this sentence other than the
         following actions, which actions may not be taken: (A) to the fullest
         extent permitted by law, dissolve or liquidate, in whole or in part;
         (B) consolidate or merge with or into any other entity or convey or
         transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any
         entity unless the applicable Issuer is releasing that Property from the
         Lien of the Mortgage or paying off the Notes in accordance with the
         terms herein; (C) engage in any business other than the ownership,
         maintenance and operation of the Properties or, with respect to the SPE
         Member (if applicable), acting as a member of an Issuer or Operating
         Lessee;


                                       92
<PAGE>

         (D) institute any proceeding to be adjudicated as bankrupt or
         insolvent, or consent to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency
         proceedings against it, or file a petition or answer or consent seeking
         reorganization or relief under the Bankruptcy Code or consent to the
         filing of any such petition or to the appointment of a receiver,
         rehabilitator, conservator, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian or
         sequestrator (or other similar official) of its SPE Member or any
         Issuer or Operating Lessee or of any substantial part of their
         property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, or
         make or consent to an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admit
         in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due,
         or take any action in furtherance of any of the foregoing; (E) except
         as required by law, amend its SPE Member's certificate of incorporation
         (if applicable) or the limited liability company agreement of the
         applicable Issuer or Operating Lessee, but only to the extent such
         amendment impacts the Company's status as a Single Purpose Entity; (F)
         enter into any transaction with an Affiliate not in the ordinary course
         of the applicable Issuer's or Operating Lessee's business; or (G)
         withdraw the SPE Member, if applicable, or remove the two (2)
         Independent Directors of an Issuer or Operating Lessee; provided,
         however, clause (D) above may be taken with the affirmative consent of
         the two (2) Independent Directors;

                           (xvii) It has no liabilities, contingent or
         otherwise, other than those normal and incidental to the ownership,
         operation and leasing of the Properties;

                           (xviii) Each Issuer and Operating Lessee shall
         conduct its business so that the assumptions made with respect to such
         Issuer or Operating Lessee in that certain opinion letter dated the
         date hereof delivered by Greenberg Traurig, LLP addressing substantive
         non-consolidation and other matters in connection with the Notes shall
         at all times be true and correct in all respects;

                           (xix) No Issuer or Operating Lessee will permit any
         Affiliate or constituent party independent access to its bank accounts
         except that each Issuer and Operating Lessee may commingle its funds
         with the funds of the other Issuers and Operating Lessees in the
         Deposit Account, in the Holding Account, in the Tax and Insurance
         Escrow Account and in each of the other Reserve Accounts;

                           (xx) Each Issuer and Operating Lessee has and shall
         pay the salaries of its own employees (or paid the appropriate
         consideration under the corresponding Administrative Services
         Agreement), if any, and maintain a sufficient number of employees in
         light of its contemplated business operations;

                           (xxi) Each Issuer and Operating Lessee has and shall
         compensate each of its consultants and agents from its funds for
         services provided to it and pay from its own assets all obligations of
         any kind incurred. Upon the withdrawal or the disassociation of the
         Independent Director from any constituent entity of any Issuer or
         Operating Lessee (or from an Issuer or Operating Lessee directly), such
         Issuer or Operating Lessee shall immediately appoint a new director or
         special member or cause such entity to appoint a new director or
         special member that satisfies the requirements of an Independent
         Director under this Indenture; and

                                       93
<PAGE>

                           (xxii) Each Issuer and Operating Lessee is subject to
         and complies with all of the limitations on powers and separateness
         requirements set forth in its organizational documentation as of the
         Closing Date.

                  (cc) Investment Company Act. Each of Issuer and Operating
Lessee is not (i) an "investment company" or a company "controlled" by an
"investment company," within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended; or (ii) a "holding company" or a "subsidiary company" of a "holding
company" or an "affiliate" of either a "holding company" or a "subsidiary
company" within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935,
as amended. Its sole business is the ownership, operation, maintenance, repair,
financing, refinancing and disposition of the Properties and such matters as are
incidental to the foregoing.

                  (dd) Fraudulent Transfer. Each of Issuer and Operating Lessee
(i) has not entered into the Notes, the Operating Leases, or any Transaction
Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor and
(ii) has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations
under the Transaction Documents and the Operating Leases. Giving effect to the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the fair saleable value
of each of Issuer's and Operating Lessee's assets exceeds and will, immediately
following the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, exceed its
total liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed or contingent
liabilities. The fair saleable value of its assets is and will, immediately
following the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, be greater
than each of its probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its
contingent liabilities or its debts as such debts become absolute and matured.
Each of Issuer's and Operating Lessee's assets do not and, immediately following
the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents will not, constitute
unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed
to be conducted. Each of Issuer and Operating Lessee does not intend to, and
does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including contingent
liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they
mature (taking into account the timing and amounts to be payable on or in
respect of its obligations).

                  (ee) Material Agreements, Operating Leases, and Property
Management Agreements. Each of the Material Agreements, the Operating Leases and
each Property Management Agreement is in full force and effect and is valid and
enforceable in all material respects, subject in each case to bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of
general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and, where
applicable, to general equity principles; there are no defaults, breaches or
violations thereunder by any Issuer or Operating Lessee, and neither Issuer nor
Operating Lessee has given written notice of any defaults, breaches or
violations (except with respect to the Marriott Litigation) by any other party
thereto except as have already been cured or as are disclosed on Schedule
4.1(ee) hereto, where with respect to any such Agreement the effect of one or
more of any such defaults would have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the
execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, the performance of the
Issuers or Operating Lessees thereunder, the recordation of each Mortgage, nor
the exercise of any remedies by Note Trustee, will adversely affect any Issuer's
or Operating Lessee's rights under any of the Material Agreements, the Operating
Leases, or Property Management Agreements.

                                       94
<PAGE>

                  (ff) Employees. Each of Issuer and Operating Lessee either has
no employees or has no material liability which has been incurred by it and
remains unsatisfied for any taxes or penalties with respect to (i) any Employee
Benefit Plan established, sponsored, maintained or contributed to by it on
behalf of its employees at any Property or (ii) any Multiemployer Plan as to
which it is making or has an obligation to make contributions or (iii) any lien
which has been imposed on its assets pursuant to Section 412 of the Code or
Sections 302 or 4068 of ERISA or (iv) in the case of the Mexican Issuers, any
similar employee benefit plan established, sponsored, maintained or contributed
to by it on behalf of its employees at any Mexican Property.

                  (gg) Rent Roll. The Leases reflected in the most recent
occupancy reports described in Schedule 4.1(gg) are in full force and effect,
and are valid and enforceable in all material respects, subject in each case to
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and
similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights
and, where applicable, to general equity principles and (ii) except as set forth
in Schedule 4.1(gg), the Leases are in full force and effect, there are no
material defaults thereunder by any Issuer or, to the best of each Issuer's
knowledge, the other party thereto, and to the best of each Issuer's knowledge,
there are no conditions (other than payments that are due but not yet delinquent
and other non-delinquent executory obligations) that, with the passage of time
or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a material default
thereunder.

                  (hh) Legal Compliance. To its best knowledge, neither any
Property, nor any portion thereof, is on the date hereof in violation of any
Legal Requirement or any Insurance Requirement (including, without, limitation
all Legal Requirements relating to all security deposits with respect to any
Property), in a manner that is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  (ii) No Change in Facts or Circumstances; Disclosure. All
information submitted by Issuers to Note Trustee and in all financial
statements, rent rolls, reports, certificates and other documents submitted in
connection with the Notes or in satisfaction of the terms thereof and all
statements of fact made by any Issuer in this Indenture or in any other
Transaction Document, are, or with respect to any such documents or information
that were prepared by a third-party, are to the best of Issuer's knowledge,
accurate, complete and correct in all material respects. There has been no

         anticipated interest and penalties thereon, (E) in the case of an
         Insurance Requirement, the failure of Issuers to comply therewith shall

         the Issuers hereunder or the right to full payment of any claims
         thereunder, (F) in the case of any essential or significant service
         with respect to any Property, any contest or failure to pay will not

         affecting a Property or any part thereof, the contest or failure to
         perform under any such instrument shall not result in the placing of
         any Lien on such Property or any part thereof (except if such Lien
         would be removed upon completion of such proceedings and the compliance
         by the parties with the terms of the resulting order, decision or
         determination and the removal costs for such Lien have been
         escrowed with Note Trustee or in the proceeding or bonded or otherwise
         deposited or paid in connection with such proceedings), (H) neither the
         failure to pay or perform any obligation which an Issuer is permitted
         to contest under this Section nor an adverse determination of any such
         contest could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect,
         and (I) Issuers shall promptly upon final determination thereof pay the
         amount of any such Taxes, Other Charges or Liens, together with all
         costs, interest and penalties which have been determined to be due and
         payable in connection therewith. Note Trustee may pay over any such
         cash deposit or part thereof held by Note Trustee to the claimant
         entitled thereto at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Note
         Trustee, the entitlement of such claimant is finally determined, and
         Note Trustee shall otherwise remit any remaining such amounts to the
         Issuers. Note Trustee shall give Issuers written notice of any such
         payments promptly following the making thereof. Subject to the
         foregoing, upon the timely request from the Issuers, Note Trustee shall
         not pay from the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account the contested Taxes
         or Other Charges being contested.

         reasonable time after written request by Note Trustee, furnish or cause
         to be furnished to Note Trustee, in such manner and in such detail as

         its designee any of the financial statements, certificates, reports or
         information (the "Required Records") required by this Section 5.1(j) on
         the date upon which such Required Record is due, the same shall become
         an Event of Default; provided that Note Trustee shall have given to
         Issuers at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice of such failure
         by Issuers to timely submit the applicable Required Records and Issuers
         shall not have delivered such Required Records within such 30 day
         notice period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
         herein, if, following written notice from Issuers to Note Trustee of
         Note Trustee's failure (or the failure of any servicer in connection
         with a Securitization) to provide any financial information pursuant to
         Section 2.3.7 hereof, Issuers are unable to include certain financial
         information required to be included in such Required Record or to make
         certain calculations required therefor, due to the failure of Note
         Trustee (or any servicer in connection with a Securitization) or either
         of their agents, representatives or employees to deliver such financial
         information, Issuers shall prepare and deliver to Note Trustee the
         Required Records without such information, and calculations to the
         extent feasible (and, to the extent feasible, with good faith estimates
         with respect to such missing information, clearly stated as estimates);
         provided, further, that Issuers shall deliver revised financial reports
         or statements promptly following receipt of the necessary financial
         information from Note Trustee (or any servicer in connection with a
         Securitization) or other sources.

         Section 5.1(j) in electronic format if such information is so available

         Managers and without significant expense.

         Trustee shall pay for the costs of its auditors, provided, however, if
         such audit shall have been commenced during an Event of Default,
         Issuers shall pay the cost and expenses of such audit.

Annual Budget to Note Trustee.

         contain any terms which would adversely affect Note Trustee's rights
         under the Transaction Documents; provided that the rent payable under a

                           (vii) Issuers shall not enter into a Lease of all or
         substantially all of any one or more of the Properties except after
         having received a Rating Confirmation as to such Lease and the Tenant
         thereunder, and otherwise in compliance with all terms and conditions
         hereof and the other Transaction Documents. Any such Lease shall (A)
         not result in a decrease in Issuers' Net Operating Income of each
         affected Property from the Net Operating Income of such Property
         immediately prior to the effective date of such Lease or, if higher,
         the Net Operating Income of such Property as of the Closing Date, (B)
         be subject and subordinate to the Lien of the Mortgage and Note Trustee
         shall not be obligated to deliver a nondisturbance agreement in favor
         of the Tenant thereunder, and (C) impose on the Tenant thereunder all
         the obligations of Issuers hereunder in respect of each affected
         Property.

                  (t) Security Deposits. Issuers shall, immediately upon
receipt, deliver (and with respect to security deposits, letters of credit or
other collateral already paid or delivered to any Issuer or its predecessor in
interest, Issuers are concurrently herewith delivering) to Note Trustee all
security deposits, letters of credit or other collateral that it receives (or
has received) from time to time from any Tenant as security for the performance
by such Tenant of its obligations under its Lease (1) the cash portion of which
exceeds $100,000, or (2) the aggregate amount of which (both cash and non-cash
portions) exceeds $185,000. Note Trustee shall deposit (or shall direct the
applicable Issuers to deposit directly) any cash to be delivered by any Issuer
pursuant to the preceding sentence in an escrow account in the name of Note
Trustee and, except to the extent required by law or the applicable Lease, such
account shall be maintained in accordance with the terms of Section 12.2 hereof.
Note Trustee shall make such security available to Issuers or the applicable
Tenant on or prior to the tenth (10th) Business Day after notice from Issuers to
the extent required to comply with obligations owed to such Tenant under the
terms of its Lease or to Issuers, in the event of such Tenant's default under
its Lease, subject to Note Trustee's approval, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld (based on, among other things, the intended use of such
deposit and whether a replacement Lease has been executed). Note Trustee may
commingle funds deposited hereunder and Note Trustee shall not be obligated to
segregate, designate or separately account for any specific security deposit,
except to the extent that any Issuer notifies Note Trustee in writing at or
prior to the time of any deposit that such deposit is required to be segregated
by the applicable Lease or under applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(x) Note Trustee shall not acquire a security interest or Lien in respect of
security deposits to the extent that such acquisition would be prohibited by
applicable law and (y) to the extent required by law, security deposits shall be
maintained within the state in which the Property in question is situate and, if
permitted by law, shall be transferred to escrow accounts in the name of Note
Trustee within the applicable states (which escrow accounts shall be maintained
in accordance with the terms of Section 12.2 hereof).

                  (u) Plan Assets. Each Issuer will do, or cause to be done, all
things necessary to ensure that it will not be deemed to hold Plan Assets at any
time.

                  (v) Marriott Litigation. Issuer will, at its sole cost and
expense, promptly (i) deliver to Note Trustee any additional Marriott Litigation

1, July 1 and October 1 an Officer Certificate to the effect that no decision or
order of the court in connection with the Marriott Litigation has been issued by
the court which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect
on the applicable Issuer or applicable Property or, (B) if any decision or order
has been made available to the public by the court in connection with the
Marriott Litigation which could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect with respect to any Issuer or applicable Property, Issuers shall
attach a copy of such decision or order to such quarterly Officer Certificate
and summarize the status of such decision or order, including whether the
Issuers have appealed, challenged or otherwise contested such decision or order.
Upon the reasonable request of Note Trustee or the servicer of the Notes,
Issuers shall provide copies of any other documentation reasonably requested
with respect to the Marriott Litigation; subject, however, to limitations based

                               ------------------

                  Section 6.1. Negative Covenants of the Issuers. Each Issuer
and Operating Lessee covenants and agrees with Note Trustee that it will not,
directly or indirectly, violate any of the following:

                  (a) Operation of Property. Each of Issuer and Operating Lessee
shall not, without the prior consent of a majority (by Outstanding Principal
Amount) of the Noteholders (except as elsewhere herein expressly provided): (i)
surrender or terminate any Material Agreement or Operating Lease unless the
other party thereto is in material default and the termination of such agreement
would be commercially reasonable, (ii) surrender or terminate any Property
Management Agreement (unless such Property Manager is being replaced with an
Acceptable Property Manager pursuant to an Acceptable Property Management
Agreement), or permit or suffer any significant delegation or contracting of the
applicable Property Manager's duties unless the applicable Property Manager has
the right to do so under the applicable Property Management Agreement without
the consent of the applicable Issuer and/or the applicable Operating Lessee or
unless such delegation or contracting would not constitute a Material Agreement
if entered into by the applicable Issuer or the applicable Operating Lessee
itself, (iii) increase or consent to the increase of the amount of any charges
under any Material Agreement, except as provided therein or on an arm's-length
basis and commercially reasonable terms; or (iv) otherwise modify, change,
supplement, alter or amend, or waive or release any of its rights and remedies
under any Material Agreement in any material respect, except on an arm's-length
basis and commercially reasonable terms.

<PAGE>

                  (b) Liens. Subject to Section 5.1(b)(ii) hereof, no Issuer or
Operating Lessee shall, without the prior written consent of a majority (by
Outstanding Principal Amount) of the Noteholders, create, incur, assume, permit
or suffer to exist any Lien on any portion of any Property, except (i) Permitted
Encumbrances, (ii) Liens created by or permitted pursuant to the Transaction
Documents and (iii) Liens for Taxes or Other Charges not yet delinquent.

                  (c) Dissolution. Each of Issuer and Operating Lessee shall not
dissolve, terminate, liquidate, merge with or consolidate into another Person.
Each of Issuer and Operating Lessee shall not, prior to the release of its
Property from the Lien of the Mortgage, (i) except as expressly permitted in
Sections 2.5 and 6.1(i) hereof, transfer, lease or sell, in one transaction or
any combination of transactions, the assets or all or substantially all of its
properties or assets, or (ii) cause any other member of any Issuer or Operating
Lessee to (A) dissolve, wind up or liquidate or take any action, or omit to take
any action, as a result of which such Issuer or Operating Lessee would be
dissolved, wound up or liquidated in whole or in part, or (B) amend, modify,
waive or terminate the limited liability company agreement of any Issuer or
Operating Lessee, without, in each instance, obtaining the prior written consent
of a majority (by Outstanding Principal Amount) of the Noteholders.

                  (d) Change in Business. No Issuer or Operating Lessee shall
enter into any line of business other than the ownership, maintenance,
financing, refinancing and operation of the Properties (in each case subject to
the terms hereof), or make any material change in the scope or nature of its
business objectives or purposes, or undertake or participate in activities other
than the continuance of its present business.

                  (e) Debt Cancellation. No Issuer or Operating Lessee shall
cancel or otherwise forgive or release any claim or debt owed to such Issuer or
Operating Lessee by any Person, including any arising under any of the Leases,
the Property Management Agreements and Material Agreements except (i) with
respect to the Leases, the Property Management Agreements and Material
Agreements, in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Indenture, (ii)
with respect to other matters, for adequate consideration in the ordinary course
of such Issuer's or Operating Lessee's business and on commercially reasonable
terms, subject to other restrictions contained herein or in any other
Transaction Document.

                  (f) Affiliate Transactions. No Issuer or Operating Lessee
shall enter into, or be a party to, any transaction with an Affiliate of such
Issuer or Operating Lessee or any of the members of such Issuer or Operating
Lessee except in the ordinary course of business and on terms which are fully
disclosed to Note Trustee in advance and, for any transaction entered into on or
after the Closing Date, are no less favorable to such Issuer or Operating Lessee
or such Affiliate than would be obtained in a comparable arm's-length
transaction with an unrelated third party, provided, however, that the foregoing
shall not prohibit any transfer permitted by the terms of Section 6.1(i) hereof.

                  (g) Zoning and Uses. Except as disclosed on Schedule 6.1(g)
hereto, no Issuer or Operating Lessee shall (i) initiate or support any limiting
change in the permitted uses of any Property (or to the extent applicable,
zoning reclassification of any Property) or any portion thereof, seek any
variance under existing land use restrictions, laws, rules or regulations (or,
to the extent applicable, zoning ordinances) applicable to any Property or use
or permit the use of any Property in a manner that would result in such use
becoming a non-conforming use under applicable land-use restrictions (and, if
any, zoning ordinances) or that would violate the terms of the Transaction
Documents or of any Lease, Legal Requirements or any Permitted Encumbrance, (ii)
modify, amend or supplement any of the terms of any Permitted Encumbrance in a
manner adverse to the interests of Note Trustee or that could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to such Property, (iii)
modify, amend or supplement any of the terms of any other Permitted Encumbrance
in a manner adverse to the interest of Note Trustee or that could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) impose or permit or suffer the
imposition of any restrictive covenants, easements or encumbrances upon any
Property in any manner that could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect, (v) execute or file any subdivision plat affecting a Property,
institute, or permit the institution of, proceedings to alter any tax lot
comprising any Property or (vi) permit or suffer a Property to be used by the
public or any Person in such manner as might make possible a claim of adverse
usage or possession or of any implied dedication or easement.

Operating Lessee shall create, incur or assume any of the following: (i)
indebtedness for borrowed money or for the deferred purchase price of property
or services; (ii) indebtedness evidenced by a note, bond, debenture or similar
instrument; (iii) any letter or letters of credit issued for the account of an
Issuer or Operating Lessee to the extent there are unreimbursed amounts drawn

obligation of any Issuer or Operating Lessee directly or indirectly guaranteeing
any indebtedness or other obligation of any other Person in any manner; (vi) any
payment obligations of any Issuer or Operating Lessee under any interest rate
protection agreement (including, without limitation, any interest rate swaps,
caps, floors, collars or similar agreements) and similar agreements (except with
respect to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or any replacement thereof, which
obligations (other than replacements) each Issuer or Operating Lessee represents
have been satisfied in full by a one-time payment made on or prior to the date
hereof); or (vii) any contractual indemnity obligations of any Issuer or
Operating Lessee other than as set forth in (A) the Property Management
Agreements or (B) any other normal and customary agreements entered into in the
ordinary course of business.

                  (i) Transfers.

                           (i) General Limitation. Unless such action is
         permitted by the subsequent provisions of this Section 6.1(i), is a
         Lease which complies with Section 5.1(s) or is a sale of a Property
         upon or after its release from the Lien of the Transaction Documents in
         accordance with Section 2.5 hereof (or is a sale of ownership interests
         in an Issuer or Operating Lessee after such release of the Property of
         such Issuer or Operating Lessee), Issuers and Operating Lessees will
         not, without the consent of a majority (by Outstanding Principal
         Amount) of the Noteholders and a Rating Confirmation with respect to
         the transfer or other matter in question, (A) sell, assign, convey,
         transfer or otherwise dispose of or encumber (except as otherwise
         provided herein or in connection with the Revolver Loan) legal,
         Beneficial or direct or indirect equitable interests in all or any part
         of any Property, any Issuer, any Operating Lessee or any SPE Member,
         (B) permit or suffer any owner, directly or indirectly, of a legal,
         Beneficial or equitable interest in any Property, any Issuer, any
         Operating Lessee or any SPE Member to transfer such interest, whether
         by transfer of stock or other legal, Beneficial or equitable interest
         in any of Issuer, Operating Lessee or SPE Member (except in connection
         with the Revolver Loan), (C) mortgage, hypothecate or otherwise
         encumber or grant a security interest in all or any part of the legal,
         Beneficial or equitable interests in all or any part of any Property,
         any Issuer, any Operating Lessee or any SPE Member (except in
         connection with the Revolver Loan), or (D) file a declaration of
         condominium with respect to any Property. Except as provided in this
         Section 6.1(i) Sponsor may not sell, assign, convey, transfer,

         Beneficial or equitable interests held by Sponsor directly or
         indirectly in any Issuer or Operating Lessee.

                           (ii) Sale of the Properties. In addition to any
         transfer of a Property after it has been released from the Lien of the
         Transaction Documents pursuant to the provisions of Sections 2.4.5 and
         2.5 (which transfers are permitted hereunder without restriction),
         Issuers and Operating Lessees shall have the one-time-right to sell,
         assign, convey or transfer (but not mortgage, hypothecate or otherwise
         encumber or grant a security interest in) legal or equitable title to
         all (but not fewer than all) of the Properties only if:

                                    (A) after giving effect to the proposed
                  transaction:

                                             (1) the Properties will be owned by
                           one or more Single Purpose Entities wholly owned by a

                           Amount) of the Noteholders and each Rating Agency)
                           which will be in compliance with the representations,

                           of, and after giving effect to, the proposed
                           transaction), and which shall have executed and
                           delivered to Note Trustee an assumption agreement and
                           such other agreements as Note Trustee may reasonably
                           request (collectively, the "Assumption Agreement") in
                           form and substance acceptable to Note Trustee,

                           the Mortgages and the other Transaction Documents and

                           together with such legal opinions and title insurance
                           endorsements as may be reasonably requested by Note
                           Trustee;

                                             (2) one or more Acceptable Property
                           Managers with respect to each Property shall continue
                           to act as Property Manager for that Property pursuant
                           to the existing Property Management Agreements or
                           Acceptable Property Management Agreements; and

                                             (3) no Event of Default shall have

                                    (B) the Assumption Agreement shall state the
                  applicable transferee's agreement to abide by and be bound by
                  the terms in the Notes (or such other promissory notes to be
                  executed by the transferee, such other promissory note or
                  notes to be on the same terms as the Notes), the Mortgage,

                  identical to the terms hereof) and such other Transaction
                  Documents (or other documents to be delivered by such
                  transferee, which shall contain terms substantially identical
                  to the terms of the applicable Transaction Documents) whenever
                  arising, and Issuers, and/or such transferee shall deliver

                  reasonably be requested by Note Trustee;

                                    (C) upon execution of a contract for the
                  sale of the Properties and not less than thirty (30) days
                  prior to the date of such sale, Issuers shall submit notice of
                  such sale to Note Trustee. Issuers shall submit to Note
                  Trustee, not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of such
                  sale, the Assumption Agreement for the Properties subject to
                  the proposed transfer for execution by Note Trustee. Such
                  documents shall be in a form appropriate for the jurisdictions
                  in which the Properties are located and shall be reasonably
                  satisfactory to Note Trustee. In addition, Issuers shall
                  provide all other documentation Note Trustee reasonably
                  requires to be delivered by Issuers and Operating Lessees in
                  connection with such assumption, together with an Officer's
                  Certificate certifying that (i) the assumption to be effected
                  will be effected in compliance with the terms of this
                  Indenture and (ii) will not impair or otherwise adversely
                  affect the validity or priority of the Lien of the Mortgages;

                                    (D) prior to any such transaction, the
                  proposed transferee shall deliver to Note Trustee an Officer's
                  Certificate stating that either (x) such transferee is an
                  employee pension plan or other retirement arrangement or
                  account that is subject to Title I of ERISA or is a Plan and
                  the obligations under this Indenture are not, and the exercise
                  of rights under this Indenture will not, constitute a
                  non-exempt prohibited transaction; or (y) the transferee is a
                  "governmental plan" (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA),
                  and the obligations under this Indenture, and the exercise of
                  rights under this Indenture, do not and will not violate any
                  applicable state statutes regulating investments by or
                  fiduciary obligations with respect to governmental plans; or
                  (z) the proposed transferee is not an Employee Benefit Plan or
                  a "governmental plan" or a Plan, and (i) such proposed
                  transferee is not subject to state statutes regulating
                  investments by or fiduciary obligations with respect to
                  "governmental plans" and (ii) the underlying assets of the
                  proposed transferee do not, for purposes of ERISA, constitute
                  assets of the Employee Benefit Plans holding an equity
                  interest in such proposed transferee;

                                    (E) if the transfer is to an entity other
                  than a Pre-approved Transferee, a Rating Confirmation shall
                  have been received in respect of such proposed transfer (or,
                  if the proposed transfer shall occur prior to a
                  Securitization, such transfer shall be subject to the consent
                  of a majority (by Outstanding Principal Amount) of the
                  Noteholders in their sole discretion); provided, however,
                  notwithstanding the foregoing, each of Issuer and Operating
                  Lessee hereby agrees that if such proposed transfer is to a
                  Pre-approved Transferee and such transfer will occur
                  subsequent to the Payment Date in July 2006, such transfer
                  shall also require Issuer and/or Operating Lessee to deliver
                  to Note Trustee a Rating Confirmation in respect of such
                  transfer;

                                    (F) the terms of Section 6.1(i)(v) shall be
                  complied with and Issuer shall cause the transferee to deliver
                  to Standard & Poor's and to any other Rating Agency Note
                  Trustee requests its organizational documents solely for the
                  purpose of Standard & Poor's and any other Rating Agency Note
                  Trustee requests confirming that such organizational documents
                  comply with the single purpose bankruptcy remote entity
                  requirements set forth herein; and

                                    (G) Note Trustee and the Noteholders shall
                  have received the payment of, or reimbursement for, all
                  reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Note Trustee (and
                  any servicer in connection with a Securitization) in
                  connection therewith (including, without limitation,
                  reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements).

                           (iii) Transfers of Interests in any Issuer and/or
         Operating Lessee. The holders of any direct or indirect interest in any
         Issuer and/or Operating Lessee shall have the one-time-right to
         simultaneously transfer (but not pledge, hypothecate or encumber) an
         identical portion of its equity interest in all Issuers and/or
         Operating Lessees to a Permitted Issuer Transferee without the consent
         of a majority (by Outstanding Principal Amount) of the Noteholders or a
         Rating Agency Confirmation if Section 6.1(i)(v) is complied with and,
         after giving effect to such transfer:

                                    (A) (i) the Properties will be directly
                  owned by one or more Single Purpose Entities in compliance
                  with the representations, warranties and covenants in Section
                  4.1(bb) hereof (as if each Issuer and/or Operating Lessee
                  shall have remade all of such representations, warranties and
                  covenants as of, and after giving effect to, the transfer),
                  and which shall have executed and delivered to Note Trustee an
                  assumption agreement in form and substance acceptable to Note
                  Trustee, evidencing the continuing agreement of the Issuers

                  any Person other than Sponsor or a Close Affiliate of Sponsor
                  exercise Management Control over the Issuers and/or Operating
                  Lessees. In the event that Management Control shall be
                  exercisable jointly by Sponsor or a Close Affiliate of Sponsor
                  with any other Person or Persons, then Sponsor or such Close

                  between the Sponsor or such Close Affiliate and the transferee
                  to unilaterally make all material decisions with respect to
                  the operation, management, financing and disposition of the
                  Property subject to the rights and entitlements of the
                  Property Managers;

                                    (D) if there has been a transfer of
                  forty-nine percent (49%) or more of the direct membership
                  interests, stock or other direct equity ownership interests in
                  any Issuer and/or Operating Lessee or a transfer of any
                  portion of any SPE Member's interest in any Issuer and/or
                  Operating Lessee, Issuers and/or Operating Lessees shall have
                  first delivered to Note Trustee (and, after a Securitization,
                  the Rating Agencies) an Officer's Certificate and legal
                  opinion of the types described in clause 6.1(i)(v) below;

                                    (E) Issuer shall cause the transferee, if
                  Note Trustee so requests, to deliver to Standard & Poor's and

                  organizational documents solely for the purpose of Standard &
                  Poor's and such other Rating Agency Note Trustee requests
                  confirming that such organizational documents comply with the
                  single purpose bankruptcy remote entity requirements set forth
                  herein; and

                                    (F) without limiting the generality of the
                  introductory phrase of this clause Section 6.1(i) , if there
                  has been a transfer of any direct interest in the SPE Member,
                  such transfer will require an Officer's Certificate and legal
                  opinion of the types described in clause 6.1(i)(v) below.

                           (iv) Intentionally Omitted.

                           (v) Notice Required; Legal Opinions. Not less than
         five (5) Business Days prior to the closing of any transaction
         permitted under the provisions of this Section 6.1(i) (other than a

         Issuers and/or Operating Lessees shall deliver or cause to be delivered
         to Note Trustee (A) an Officer's Certificate describing the proposed
         transaction and stating that such transaction is permitted hereunder
         and under the other Transaction Documents, together with any documents
         upon which such Officer's Certificate is based, and (B) a legal opinion
         of counsel to Issuers or the transferee selected by either of them (to

         the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies), in form and substance
         consistent with similar opinions then being required by the Rating
         Agencies and acceptable to the Rating Agencies, confirming, among other
         things, that the assets of each Issuer, and of its managing general
         partner or SPE Member, as applicable, will not be substantively
         consolidated with the assets of such owners or Controlling Persons of
         the applicable Issuer and/or Operating Lessee as Note Trustee or the
         Rating Agencies may specify, in the event of a bankruptcy or similar
         proceeding involving such owners or Controlling Persons.

                           (vi) Sale of Equipment. Notwithstanding the above
         provisions of this Section 6.1(i) and to the extent permitted to be
         carried out by the Property Managers without the consent of the
         applicable Issuer, Issuers may transfer or dispose of Equipment that is
         either being replaced or that is no longer necessary in connection with
         the operation of any Property free from the interest of Note Trustee
         under this Indenture or any other Transaction Document, provided that
         such transfer or disposal (when compared to the non-transfer or
         non-disposal of such Equipment) will not materially adversely affect
         the value of any Property, will not impair the utility thereof and
         (except where the same would not have a Material Adverse Effect), will
         not result in a reduction or abatement of, or right of offset against,
         the rentals or other amounts payable under any Lease or any Operating
         Agreement, in either case as a result thereof, provided that any new
         Equipment acquired by any Issuer (and not so disposed of) shall be
         subject to the interest of Note Trustee under this Indenture and the
         other Transaction Documents unless leased to Issuers (in which event,
         Note Trustee shall be made a collateral assignee of the applicable
         Issuer's interest in such lease (but, unless expressly subsequently
         assumed by Note Trustee, Note Trustee shall have no obligations under
         the applicable Issuer's interest therein)).

                           (vii) Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture
         (including the other provisions of this Section 6.1(i) or the
         provisions of any other Transaction Document), there shall be no
         restriction or limitation in any respect to (and no Default or Event of
         Default shall result or arise from) the sale, assignment, conveyance,
         transfer, mortgage, hypothecation or other disposition of or
         encumbering of any direct or indirect legal, Beneficial or direct or
         indirect equitable interest in Sponsor or any Person owning a direct or
         indirect interest therein.

                  (j) Nonexempt ERISA Transactions. No Issuer and/or Operating
Lessee shall engage in a nonexempt prohibited transaction described in Section
406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, as such sections relate to any Issuer
or Operating Lessee, or in any transaction that would cause any obligation or
action taken or to be taken hereunder (or the exercise by Note Trustee of any of
its rights under the Notes, this Indenture, any Mortgage or any other
Transaction Document) to be a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA.

                  (k) Misapplication of Funds. No Issuer or Operating Lessee
shall distribute any Adjusted Operating Income from any Property or any Proceeds
in violation of the provisions of this Indenture, fail to remit amounts to the
Deposit Account, the Holding Account or any of the Reserve Accounts if and as
required under this Indenture, or misappropriate any security deposits or
portion thereof.

                  (l) Assignment of Licenses and Permits. Except in connection
with a transfer permitted under Section 2.5 or Section 6.1(i) hereof, no Issuer
or Operating Lessee shall assign or transfer any of its interest in any Permits
pertaining to any Property, or assign, transfer or remove or permit any other
Person to assign, transfer or remove any records pertaining to any Property.

                  (m) Place of Business. No Issuer or Operating Lessee shall
change its chief executive office or its principal place of business without
giving Note Trustee at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice thereof and
promptly providing Note Trustee such information as Note Trustee may reasonably
request in connection therewith.

                  (n) Las Palmas Indebtedness. Except as set forth in the
Marriott Side Letter, Las Palmas Issuer shall not amend, modify, supplement or
change any of the terms of the documents relating to the Las Palmas Indebtedness
without first obtaining the prior written consent of a majority (by Outstanding
Principal Amount) of the Noteholders, which consent may be withheld by the
Noteholders in their sole and absolute discretion.

                  (o) Intentionally Deleted.

                  (p) Ground Lease. Issuer shall not amend, modify, supplement,
cancel or terminate the Ground Lease without first obtaining the prior written
consent of a majority (by Outstanding Principal Amount) of the Noteholders, and
any such action without such consent is void.

                  (q) Termination Payments. Issuer shall not pay (i) the Loews
Termination Payment, (ii) the Personal Property Termination Payment and/or (iii)
the Hilton Termination Payment unless such payments are contributed from Sponsor

                      ALTERATIONS AND EXPANSIONS; LEASING
                      -----------------------------------

                  Section 7.1. Alterations and Expansions. No Issuer or
Operating Lessee will perform or undertake or consent to the performance or
undertaking of (including, without limitation, the approval of any budget with
respect to a Property which includes) any Alteration or Expansion, except in
accordance with the following terms and conditions:

                  (a) The Alteration or Expansion shall be undertaken in
accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture, the other
Transaction Documents, the Property Management Agreements, the Operating
Agreements and the Leases, and all Legal Requirements.

                  (b) No Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
or shall occur as a result of such action.

                  (c) A Material Alteration or Material Expansion, to the extent
architects are customarily used for alterations or expansions of those types,
but including any structural change to any of the Properties or the
Improvements, shall be conducted under the supervision of an Independent
Architect and shall not be undertaken until ten (10) Business Days after there
shall have been filed with Note Trustee, for information purposes only and not
for approval by Note Trustee, detailed plans and specifications and cost
estimates therefor, prepared and approved in writing by such Independent
Architect. Such plans and specifications may be revised at any time and from
time to time, provided that revisions of such plans and specifications shall be
filed with Note Trustee, for information purposes only.

                  (d) The Alteration or Expansion may not in and of itself,
either during the Alteration or Expansion or upon completion, be reasonably
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to a Property or
adversely affect the annual Net Operating Income, taking into account the
required escrows (or completion bond) provided under Section 7.1(h)(i) below;
provided that if, as reasonably determined by the Note Trustee, such Alteration
or Expansion would adversely affect the annual Net Operating Income, then in
order to proceed with the Alteration or Expansion the Issuers shall deliver to
Note Trustee Eligible Collateral in the total amount of the estimated reduction
in Net Operating Income resulting from the Alteration or Expansion as additional
security for the Debt. On each Payment Date during the period in which such
Alteration or Expansion is being performed, Note Trustee shall release a portion
of such Eligible Collateral to Issuer in an amount equal to the estimated
reduction in the Net Operating Income resulting from the Alteration or Expansion
for the month in which the Payment Date occurs. Any remaining Eligible
Collateral shall be returned to Issuers after completion of the Alteration or
Expansion if the reduction in Net Operating Income has been restored and no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

                  (e) All work done in connection with any Alteration or
Expansion shall be performed with due diligence to Final Completion in a good
and workmanlike manner, all materials used in connection with any Alteration or
Expansion shall be not less than the standard of quality of the materials
generally used at the applicable Property as of the date hereof (or, if greater,
the then-current customary quality in the submarket in which such Property is
located) and all work shall be performed and all materials used in accordance
with all applicable Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements.

                  (f) The cost of any Alteration or Expansion shall be promptly
and fully paid for by Issuers, subject to the next succeeding sentence. No
payment made prior to the Final Completion of an Alteration or Expansion or
Restoration to any contractor, subcontractor, materialman, supplier, engineer,
architect, project manager or other Person who renders services or furnishes
materials in connection with such Alteration shall exceed ninety percent (90%)
(other than with respect to FF&E for which Issuer may make payments in full
prior to Final Completion if it has received delivery of such items and
otherwise has complied with the terms of Section 9.2.16) of the aggregate value
of the work performed by such Person from time to time and materials furnished
and incorporated into the Improvements.

                  (g) All work performed in connection with the (i) cure of the
Deferred Maintenance Conditions and (ii) remediation of the Environmental
Conditions shall be performed in accordance with the terms and conditions set
forth in clauses (a), (c), (e) and (f) of this Section 7.1. Subject to Section
7.1(f) above, from time to time as the cure or remediation of any particular
Deferred Maintenance Condition or Environmental Condition progresses, Note
Trustee shall, subject to and upon the satisfaction of the terms and conditions
set forth in Section 9.2.2 herein, disburse to Issuers from the Deferred
Maintenance and Environmental Conditions Reserve Account, amounts incurred by
Issuers in connection with the cure or remediation of the Deferred Maintenance
Condition or Environmental Condition in question.

                  (h) With respect to any Material Alteration or Material
Expansion:

                           (i) Issuers shall have delivered to Note Trustee
         Eligible Collateral in an amount equal to at least the total estimated
         remaining unpaid costs of such Material Alteration or Material
         Expansion which Eligible Collateral shall be held by Note Trustee as
         security for the Debt and released to the applicable Issuer as such
         work progresses in accordance with Section 7.1(h)(iii) hereof;
         provided, however, in the event that any Material Alteration or
         Material Expansion shall be made in conjunction with any Restoration
         with respect to which an Issuer shall be entitled to withdraw Proceeds
         pursuant to Section 8.1.2(b) hereof (including any Proceeds remaining
         after completion of such Restoration), the amount of the Eligible
         Collateral to be furnished pursuant hereto need not exceed the
         aggregate cost of such Restoration and such Material Alteration or
         Material Expansion (in either case, as estimated by the Independent
         Architect) less the sum of the amount of any Proceeds which any Issuer
         is entitled to withdraw pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof;

                           (ii) Prior to commencement of construction of such
         Material Alteration or Material Expansion, Issuers shall deliver to
         Note Trustee a schedule (with the concurrence of the Independent
         Architect) setting forth the projected stages of completion of such
         Alteration or Expansion and the corresponding amounts expected to be
         due and payable by or on behalf of Issuers in connection with such
         completion, such schedule to be updated quarterly by Issuers (and with
         the concurrence of the Independent Architect) during the performance of
         such Alteration or Expansion.

                           (iii) Any Eligible Collateral that an Issuer delivers
         to Note Trustee pursuant hereto (and the proceeds of any such Eligible
         Collateral) shall be invested (to the extent such Eligible Collateral
         can be invested) by Note Trustee in Permitted Investments for a period
         of time consistent with the date on which such Issuer notifies Note
         Trustee that such Issuer expects to request a release of such Eligible
         Collateral in accordance with the next succeeding sentence. From time
         to time as the Alteration or Expansion progresses, the amount of any
         Eligible Collateral so furnished may, upon the written request of any
         Issuer to Note Trustee, be withdrawn by Issuers and paid or otherwise
         applied by or returned to Issuers in an amount equal to the amount
         Issuers would be entitled to so withdraw if Section 8.1.2(e) hereof
         were applicable, and any Eligible Collateral so furnished which is a
         Credit Facility may be reduced by Issuers in an amount equal to the
         amount Issuers would be entitled to so reduce if Section 8.1.2(e)
         hereof were applicable, subject, in each case, to the satisfaction of
         the conditions precedent to withdrawal of funds or reduction of the
         Credit Facility set forth in Section 8.1.2(e) hereof, provided however
         that, notwithstanding the terms of Section 8.1.2(e), instead of
         reimbursing Issuers for amounts already paid in respect of such
         Alteration or Expansion, Eligible Collateral shall be disbursed to
         Issuer or, at Note Trustee's election, the applicable contractor upon
         presentation to Note Trustee of a draw request together with copies of
         invoices for the amounts to be withdrawn. In connection with the
         above-described quarterly update of the projected stages of completion
         of the Material Alteration or Material Expansion (as concurred with by
         an Independent Architect), Issuers shall increase (or be permitted to
         decrease, as applicable) the Eligible Collateral then deposited with
         Note Trustee as necessary to comply with Section 7.1(h)(i) hereof.

                           (iv) At any time after Final Completion of such
         Alterations or Expansions, the whole balance of any Cash deposited with
         Note Trustee pursuant to Section 7.1(h) hereof then remaining on
         deposit may be withdrawn by Issuers and shall be paid by Note Trustee
         to Issuers, and any Eligible Collateral so deposited shall, to the
         extent it has not been called upon, reduced or theretofore released, be
         released by Note Trustee to Issuers, within ten (10) days after receipt
         by Note Trustee of an application for such withdrawal and/or release
         together with an Officer's Certificate, and as to the following clauses
         (A) and (B) of this clause also a certificate of the Independent
         Architect, setting forth in substance as follows:

                                    (A) that such Alteration(s) or Expansion(s)
                  has been completed in all material respects in accordance with
                  any plans and specifications therefor previously filed with
                  Note Trustee under Section 7.1(c) hereof;

                                    (B) that to the knowledge of the certifying
                  Person, (x) such Alteration(s) or Expansion(s) has been
                  completed in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and (y)
                  to the extent required for the legal use or occupancy of the
                  portion of the Property affected by such Alteration(s) or
                  Expansion(s), the applicable Issuer has obtained a temporary
                  or permanent certificate of occupancy (or similar certificate)
                  or, if no such certificate is required, a statement to that
                  effect;

                                    (C) that to the knowledge of the certifying
                  Person, all amounts that an Issuer is or may become liable to
                  pay in respect of such Alteration(s) or Expansion(s) through
                  the date of the certification have been paid in full or
                  adequately provided for and, to the extent that such are
                  customary and reasonably obtainable by prudent property owners
                  in the area where the applicable Property is located, that
                  Lien waivers have been obtained from the general contractor
                  and subcontractors performing such Alteration(s) or
                  Expansion(s) or at its sole cost and expense, Issuers shall
                  cause a nationally recognized title insurance company to
                  deliver to Note Trustee an endorsement to the Qualified Title
                  Policy, updating such policy and insuring over such Liens
                  without further exceptions to such policy other than Permitted
                  Encumbrances, or shall, at its sole cost and expense, cause a
                  reputable title insurance company to deliver a lender's title
                  insurance policy, in such form, in such amounts and with such
                  endorsements as the Qualified Title Policy, which policy shall
                  be dated the date of completion of the Material Alteration and
                  shall contain no exceptions other than Permitted Encumbrances;
                  provided, however, that if, for any reason, Issuers are unable

                  respect to any costs or expenses relating to the Alteration(s)
                  or Expansion(s), then, assuming Issuers are able to satisfy
                  each of the other requirements set forth in clauses (A) and
                  (B) above, Issuers shall be entitled to the release of the
                  difference between the whole balance of such Eligible
                  Collateral and the total of all costs and expenses to which
                  Issuers are unable to certify; and

                           CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION
                           -------------------------

                  Section 8.1. Insurance; Casualty and Condemnation.

                  (a) Issuers, at their sole cost and expense, for the mutual
benefit of Issuers and Note Trustee, shall keep each Property insured and obtain
and maintain policies of insurance insuring against loss or damage by standard
perils included within the classification "All Risks of Physical Loss" including
earthquake damage to the extent required by Section 8.1(b)(viii) hereof and
political risk insurance to the extent required by Section 8.1(b)(xii). Such
insurance (other than earthquake insurance and political risk insurance) (i)
shall be in an aggregate amount equal to the then full replacement cost of each
Property and the Equipment (without deduction for physical depreciation), or
such lesser amounts approved by a majority (by Outstanding Principal Amount) of
the Noteholders in their sole discretion (or after a Securitization, upon
receipt of a Rating Confirmation), and (ii) shall have deductibles no greater
than $100,000 (as escalated by the CPI Increase) (or, with respect to windstorm
insurance, deductibles no greater than 5% of the full replacement cost of each
Property, and, with respect to earthquake insurance, deductibles no greater than
5.0% of the full replacement cost of each Property). The policies of insurance
carried in accordance with this paragraph shall be paid annually in advance and
shall contain a "Replacement Cost Endorsement" with a waiver of depreciation.

                  (b) Issuers, at their sole cost and expense, for the mutual
benefit of Issuers and Note Trustee, shall also obtain and maintain the
following policies of insurance:

                           (i) Flood insurance if any part of any Property is
         located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management
         Agency as an area federally designated a "100 year flood plain" (an
         "Affected Property" and collectively the "Affected Properties") and (A)
         flood insurance is generally available at reasonable premiums and in
         such amount as generally required by institutional lenders for similar
         properties or (B) if not so available from a private carrier, from the
         federal government at commercially reasonable premiums to the extent
         available. In either case, the flood insurance shall be in an amount at
         least equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding
         from time to time or the maximum limit of coverage available with
         respect to the applicable Property under said program, whichever is
         less; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, Issuers hereby
         agree to maintain at all times flood insurance in an amount equal to at
         least $[25,000,000] (per occurrence) for the Affected Properties;


                                      122

                           (ii) Commercial general liability insurance,
         including broad form property damage, blanket contractual and personal
         injuries (including death resulting therefrom) coverages and containing
         minimum limits per occurrence of $1,000,000 with a $2,000,000 general
         aggregate for any policy year. In addition, at least $100,000,000
         excess and/or umbrella liability insurance shall be obtained and
         maintained for claims, including legal liability imposed upon Issuers
         and all related court costs and attorneys' fees and disbursements;

                           (iii) Rental loss and/or business interruption
         insurance in an amount sufficient to avoid any co-insurance penalty and
         equal to the greater of (A) the estimated gross revenues from the
         operation of the applicable Property (including (x) the total payable
         under the Leases and all Rents and (y) the total of all other amounts
         to be received by Issuers or third parties that are the legal
         obligation of the Tenants), net of non-recurring expenses, for a period
         of up to the next succeeding eighteen (18) months, or (B) the projected
         Operating Expenses (including debt service) for the maintenance and
         operation of the applicable Property for a period of up to the next
         succeeding eighteen (18) months as the same may be reduced or increased
         from time to time due to changes in such Operating Expenses. The amount
         of such insurance shall be increased from time to time as and when the
         Rents increase or the estimates of (or the actual) gross revenue, as
         may be applicable, increases or decreases to the extent Rents or the
         estimates of gross revenue decrease;

                           (iv) Insurance against loss or damage from (A)
         leakage of sprinkler systems and (B) explosion of steam boilers, air
         conditioning equipment, high pressure piping, machinery and equipment,
         pressure vessels or similar apparatus now or hereafter installed in any
         of the Improvements (without exclusion for explosions) and insurance
         against loss of occupancy or use arising from any breakdown, in such
         amounts as are generally available at reasonable premiums and are
         generally required by institutional lenders for properties comparable
         to the Properties;

                           (v) Worker's compensation insurance with respect to
         all employees of Issuers as and to the extent required by any
         Governmental Authority or Legal Requirement and employer's liability
         coverage of at least $2,000,000 which is scheduled to the excess and/or
         umbrella liability insurance as referenced in clause (ii) above;

                           (vi) During any period of repair or restoration,
         completed value (non-reporting) builder's "all risk" insurance in an
         amount equal to not less than the full insurable value of the
         applicable Property against such risks (including fire and extended
         coverage and collapse of the Improvements to agreed limits) as Note
         Trustee may request, in form and substance acceptable to Note Trustee;

                           (vii) Coverage to compensate for the cost of
         demolition and the increased cost of construction for the applicable
         Property;

                           (viii) With respect to the Mexican Properties, the
         Marriott Las Palmas Property and the Property known as the Hilton
         Burbank Airport, Burbank, California and the Loews Santa Monica, Los
         Angeles, California, earthquake insurance in an amount equal to twice
         the probable maximum loss (as determined by Note Trustee in its sole
         discretion) of the applicable Property, provided that (A) any credit
         enhancement proposed to be provided by or on behalf of Issuers in
         connection with the deductible on such earthquake insurance shall be
         subject to the prior receipt of a Rating Confirmation, and (B) in the
         event that such earthquake insurance shall not be available for any
         reason, Issuers shall have the right, subject to a Rating Confirmation,
         to deliver to Note Trustee in lieu of such insurance coverage Eligible
         Collateral or a guarantee from an entity acceptable to Note Trustee
         (prior to a Securitization) and each of the Rating Agencies in such
         amount and in such form and substance as shall be approved by a
         majority (by Outstanding Principal Amount) of the Noteholders (prior to
         a Securitization) and each of the Rating Agencies in their sole
         discretion (provided that such Eligible Collateral or guarantee will
         not be required to exceed the amount of coverage that would have been
         required if earthquake insurance were still available under this
         Section (viii));

                           (ix) Windstorm insurance in an amount equal to the
         probable maximum loss (as determined by Note Trustee in its sole
         discretion) of the applicable Property provided, that any credit
         enhancement proposed to be provided by or on behalf of Issuers in
         connection with the deductible on such windstorm insurance shall be
         subject to the prior receipt of a Rating Confirmation;

                           (x) Law and ordinance insurance coverage in an amount
         no less than that set forth in the insurance policies covering the
         Properties as of the date hereof;

                           (xi) Provided that insurance coverage relating to the
         acts of terrorist groups or individuals is available at commercially
         reasonable rates, Issuer shall be required to carry terrorism insurance
         throughout the term of the Notes (including any extension terms) in an
         amount equal to $[________] (per occurrence) (the "Initial Terrorism
         Coverage Amount"). Note Trustee agrees that terrorism insurance
         coverage may be provided under a blanket policy that is acceptable to
         Note Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Issuer agrees at all times
         to maintain terrorism insurance coverage throughout the term of the
         Notes (including extension terms) in an amount not less than that which
         can be purchased for a sum equal to $[___________] (the "Maximum
         Premium Amount") in any single policy year, provided, that under no
         circumstance shall terrorism coverage in excess of the Initial
         Terrorism Coverage Amount (per occurrence) of coverage be required
         hereunder. However, from and after the date any Property is released
         from the lien of the Mortgage in accordance with the terms hereof, the
         amount of terrorism insurance coverage thereafter required hereunder
         shall be adjusted (in each case, a "Terrorism Adjustment") to be in an
         amount equal to the lesser of (x) $[_________] and (y) 150% of the
         greatest Allocated Outstanding Principal Amount (per occurrence)
         applicable to any Property that continues, from time to time to be
         secured by the Mortgage (the "Adjusted Terrorism Coverage Amount"), per
         occurrence. In the event of any Terrorism Adjustment, the parties
         hereby agree that the Maximum Premium Amount shall also be ratably
         reduced from time to time based on the ratio that the (1) then
         applicable Adjusted Terrorism Coverage Amount bears to (2) the Initial
         Terrorism Coverage Amount;

                           (xii) Political risk insurance for the Mexican
         Properties in an amount equal to seventy-five (75%) percent of the
         combined Allocated Outstanding Principal Amounts applicable to the
         Mexican Properties; and

                           (xiii) Such other insurance as may from time to time
         be reasonably required by Note Trustee in order to protect its
         interests.

                  (c) All policies of insurance (the "Policies") required
pursuant to this Section 8.1 shall be issued by companies approved by a majority
(by Outstanding Principal Amount) of the Noteholders and licensed or authorized
to do business in the state where the applicable Property is located. Further,
unless otherwise approved by a majority (by Outstanding Principal Amount) of the
Noteholders in their reasonable discretion (prior to a Securitization) and the
Rating Agencies in writing, the issuer(s) of the Policies required under this
Section 8.1 shall have a claims paying ability rating of "AA-" or better by
Standard & Poor's and "Aa2" or better by Moody's, except that the issuer(s) of
the Policies required under Section 8.1(b)(viii) hereof shall have a claims
paying ability rating of "A" or better by Standard & Poor's and "A2" or better
by Moody's; provided, however, if the insurance provided hereunder is procured
by a syndication of more then five (5) insurers then the foregoing requirements
shall not be violated if at least (i) sixty percent (60%) of the coverage is
with carriers having a claims paying ability rating of "AA-" or better by
Standard & Poor's and "Aa2" or better by Moody's and (ii) each other carrier
providing coverage has a claims paying ability rating of "BBB-" or better by
Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings and "Baa3" or better by Moody's. The
Policies (i) shall name Note Trustee (or an agent on Note Trustee's behalf) or,
in the case of the Mexican Properties, Mexican Trustee and its successors and/or
assigns as their interest may appear as an additional insured or as a loss payee
(except that in the case of general liability insurance, Note Trustee (or an
agent on Note Trustee's behalf) or, in the case of the Mexican Properties,
Mexican Trustee shall be named an additional insured and not a loss payee); (ii)
shall contain a Non-Contributory Standard Lender Clause and, except with respect
to general liability insurance, a Lender's Loss Payable Endorsement, or their
equivalents, naming Note Trustee or, in the case of the Mexican Properties,
Mexican Trustee as the Person to which all payments made by such insurance
company shall be paid; (iii) shall include effective waivers by the insurer of
all claims for insurance premiums against all loss payees, additional insureds
and named insureds (other than Issuers) and all rights of subrogation against
any loss payee, additional insured or named insured; (iv) shall be assigned to
Note Trustee or, in the case of the Mexican Properties, Mexican Trustee; (v)
except as otherwise provided above, shall be subject to a deductible, if any,
not greater in any material respect than the deductible for such coverage on the
date hereof; (vi) shall contain such provisions as Note Trustee deems reasonably
necessary or desirable to protect its interest, including endorsements providing
that neither Issuers, Note Trustee nor any other party shall be a
Contributor-insurer under said Policies and that no material modification,
reduction, cancellation or termination in amount of, or material change (other
than an increase) in, coverage of any of the Policies shall be effective until
at least thirty (30) days after receipt by each named insured, additional
insured and loss payee of written notice thereof or ten (10) days after receipt
of such notice with respect to nonpayment of premium; (vii) shall permit Note
Trustee to pay the premiums and continue any insurance upon failure of Issuers
to pay premiums when due, upon the insolvency of Issuers or through foreclosure
or other transfer of title to the applicable Property (it being understood that
Issuers' rights to coverage under such policies may not be assignable without
the consent of the insurer); and (viii) shall provide that any proceeds shall be
payable to Note Trustee and that the insurance shall not be impaired or
invalidated by virtue of (A) any act, failure to act, negligence of, or
violation of declarations, warranties or conditions contained in such policy by
any Issuer, Note Trustee or any other named insured, additional insured or loss
payee, except for the willful misconduct of Note Trustee knowingly in violation
of the conditions of such policy, (B) the occupation, use, operation or
maintenance of the applicable Property for purposes more hazardous than
permitted by the terms of the Policy, (C) any foreclosure or other proceeding or
notice of sale relating to the applicable Property, or (D) any change in the
possession of the applicable Property without a change in the identity of the
holder of actual title to such Property (provided that with respect to items (C)
and (D), any notice requirements of the applicable Policies are satisfied).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes hereof, the Noteholders hereby
approve the existing blanket insurance policy.

                  (d) Insurance Premiums; Certificates of Insurance.

                           (i) Issuers shall pay the premiums for such Policies
         (the "Insurance Premiums" ) as the same become due and payable and
         shall furnish to Note Trustee the receipts for the payment of the
         Insurance Premiums or other evidence of such payment reasonably
         satisfactory to Note Trustee (provided, however, that Issuers are not
         required to furnish such evidence of payment to Note Trustee if such
         Insurance Premiums are to be paid by Note Trustee pursuant to the terms
         of this Indenture). Within thirty (30) days after request by Note
         Trustee, Issuers shall obtain such increases in the amounts of coverage
         required hereunder as may be reasonably requested in writing by Note
         Trustee or as may be requested in writing by the Rating Agencies,
         taking into consideration changes in liability laws, changes in prudent
         customs and practices, and the like. In the event Issuers satisfy the
         requirements under this Section 8.1 through the use of a Policy
         covering properties in addition to the Properties (a "Blanket Policy"),
         then (unless such policy is provided in substantially the same manner
         as it is as of the date hereof), Issuers shall provide evidence
         satisfactory to Note Trustee that the Insurance Premiums for the
         applicable Property or Properties are separately allocated under such
         Policy to the applicable Property or Properties and that payment of
         such allocated amount (A) shall maintain the effectiveness of such
         Policy as to such Property or Properties and (B) shall otherwise
         provide the same protection as would a separate policy that complies
         with the terms of this Indenture as to such Property or Properties,
         notwithstanding the failure of payment of any other portion of the
         insurance premiums. If no such allocation is available, Note Trustee
         shall have the right to increase the amount required to be deposited
         into the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account in an amount sufficient to
         purchase a non-blanket Policy covering the applicable Property or
         Properties from insurance companies which qualify under this Indenture.

                           (ii) Issuers shall deliver to Note Trustee on or
         prior to the Closing Date certificates setting forth in reasonable
         detail the material terms (including any applicable notice
         requirements) of all Policies from the respective insurance companies
         (or their authorized agents) that issued the Policies, including that
         such Policies may not be canceled or modified in any material respect
         without thirty (30) days' prior notice to Note Trustee, or ten (10)
         days' notice with respect to nonpayment of premium. Issuers shall
         deliver to Note Trustee, concurrently with each change in any Policy, a
         certificate with respect to such changed Policy certified by the
         insurance company issuing that Policy, in substantially the same form
         and containing substantially the same information as the certificates
         required to be delivered by Issuers pursuant to the first sentence of
         this clause ------- (d)(ii) and stating that all premiums then due
         thereon have been paid to the applicable insurers and ------- that the
         same are in full force and effect (or if such certificate and/or other
         information described in clause (d)(ii) shall not be obtainable by
         Issuers, Issuers may deliver an Officer's -------------- Certificate to
         such effect in lieu thereof).

                  (e) Renewal and Replacement of Policies.

                           (i) Not less than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to
         the expiration, termination or cancellation of any Policy, Issuers
         shall renew such policy or obtain a replacement policy or policies (or
         a binding commitment for such replacement policy or policies), which
         shall be effective no later than the date of the expiration,
         termination or cancellation of the previous policy, and shall deliver
         to Note Trustee a certificate in respect of such policy or policies (A)
         containing the same information as the certificates required to be
         delivered by Issuers pursuant to clause (d)(ii) above, or a copy of the
         binding commitment for such policy or policies and (B) confirming that
         such policy complies with all requirements hereof.

                           (ii) If Issuers do not furnish to Note Trustee the
         certificates as required under clause (e)(i) above, Note Trustee may
         procure, but shall not be obligated to procure, such replacement policy
         or policies and pay the Insurance Premiums therefor, and Issuers agree
         to reimburse Note Trustee for the cost of such Insurance Premiums
         promptly on demand.

                           (iii) Concurrently with the delivery of each
         replacement policy or a binding commitment for the same pursuant to
         this clause (e), Issuers shall deliver to Note Trustee a report or
         attestation from a ---------- duly licensed or authorized insurance
         broker or from the insurer, setting forth the particulars as to all
         insurance obtained by Issuers pursuant to this Section 8.1 and then in
         effect and stating ----------- that all Insurance Premiums then due
         thereon have been paid in full to the applicable insurers, that such
         insurance policies are in full force and effect and that, in the
         opinion of such insurance broker or insurer, such insurance otherwise
         complies with the requirements of this Section 8.1 (or ----------- if
         such report shall not be available after Issuers shall have used
         reasonable efforts to provide the same, Issuers will deliver to Note
         Trustee an Officer's Certificate containing the information to be
         provided in such report).

<PAGE>

                  (f) Separate Insurance. Issuers will not take out separate
insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that
required to be maintained pursuant to this Section 8.1 unless such insurance
complies with clause (c) above.

                  (g) Securitization. Following any Securitization, Issuers
shall name any trustee, servicer or special servicer designated by Note Trustee
as a loss payee, and any trustee, servicer and special servicer as additional
insureds, with respect to any Policy for which Note Trustee is to be so named
hereunder.

                  8.1.2 Casualty; Application of Proceeds.

                  (a) Right to Adjust.

                           (i) If any Property is damaged or destroyed, in whole
         or in part, by a Casualty, Issuers shall give prompt written notice
         thereof to Note Trustee, generally describing the nature and extent of
         such Casualty. Following the occurrence of a Casualty, Issuers,
         regardless of whether proceeds are available, shall in a reasonably
         prompt manner proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the
         affected Property to the extent practicable to be of at least equal
         value and of substantially the same character as prior to the Casualty,
         all in accordance with the terms hereof applicable to Alterations.

                           (ii) Subject to clause (v) below, in the event of a
         Casualty where the loss does not exceed $500,000, Issuers may settle
         and adjust such claim; provided that such adjustment is carried out in
         a competent and timely manner. In such case, Issuers are hereby
         authorized to collect and receipt for Note Trustee any Proceeds.

                           (iii) Subject to clause (v) below, in the event of a
         Casualty where the loss exceeds $500,000, Issuers may settle and adjust
         such claim only with the consent of a majority (by Outstanding
         Principal Amount) of the Noteholders (which consent shall not be
         unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Note Trustee or its designee on
         behalf of the Noteholders shall have the opportunity to participate, at
         Issuers' cost, in any such adjustments.

                           (iv) The proceeds of any Policy shall be due and
         payable solely to Note Trustee or in the case of the Mexican
         Properties, to the Mexican Trustee and held and applied in accordance
         with the terms hereof (or, if mistakenly paid to any Issuer, shall be
         held in trust by such Issuer for the benefit of Note Trustee and shall
         be paid over to Note Trustee by such Issuer within one (1) Business Day
         of receipt).

                           (v) Notwithstanding the terms of clauses (ii) and
         (iii) above, Note Trustee shall have the sole authority to adjust any
         claim with respect to a Casualty and to collect all Proceeds if an
         Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing.

                  (b) Right of the Issuers to Apply to Restoration. In the event
of (i) a Casualty that does not constitute a Material Casualty, or (ii) a
Condemnation that does not constitute a Material Condemnation, Note Trustee
shall permit the application of the Proceeds (after reimbursement of any
expenses incurred by Note Trustee) to reimburse Issuers for the cost of
restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding or otherwise curing title defects
at the applicable Property (the "Restoration"), in the manner required hereby,
provided and on the condition that (1) no Event of Default shall have occurred
and be then continuing and (2) in the reasonable judgment of Note Trustee:

                                      128
<PAGE>

                           (i) the applicable Property can be restored to an
         economic unit not less valuable (taking into account the effect of the
         termination of any Leases or Material Agreements and the proceeds of
         any rental loss or business interruption insurance which any Issuer
         receives or is entitled to receive, in each case, due to such Casualty
         or Condemnation) and not less useful than the same was prior to the
         Casualty or Condemnation,

                           (ii) the applicable Property, after such Restoration
         and stabilization, will adequately secure the outstanding balance of
         the Notes,

                           (iii) the Restoration can be completed by the
         earliest to occur of:

                                    (A) the 180th day following the receipt of
                  the Proceeds (or if earlier, the 365th day after the Casualty
                  or Condemnation, as applicable), or, with Rating Confirmation,
                  such longer period as may reasonably be required;

                                    (B) the 180th day prior to the Maturity
                  Date, and

                                    (C) with respect to a Casualty, the
                  expiration of the payment period on the rental loss or
                  business interruption insurance coverage in respect of such
                  Casualty; and

                           (iv) after receiving reasonably satisfactory evidence
         to such effect, during the period of the Restoration, the sum of (A)
         income derived from the applicable Property, plus (B) proceeds of
         rental loss insurance or business interruption insurance, if any,
         payable together with such other monies as Issuers may irrevocably make
         available for the Restoration, will equal or exceed 105% of the sum of
         (1) Operating Expenses and (2) the Debt Service.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the conditions set forth in sub-clauses
(1) and (2) of the proviso in this clause (b) is not satisfied, then, unless
Note Trustee shall otherwise elect, at its sole option, the Proceeds shall be
applied in the following order of priority: (A) first, to prepay the principal
of the Notes in an amount up to the Release Amount of the Property which
suffered the Casualty or Condemnation; (B) second, to pay the amount of (1) all
accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the principal amount of the Debt so
prepaid through the date which is the final day of the Interest Accrual Period
in which such prepayment is made or, if prohibited by law, through the date of
repayment plus Breakage Costs (including, if an Event of Default has occurred
and is then continuing, interest owed at the Default Rate), and (2) all other
sums then due and owing under the Transaction Documents; and (C) third, to
reimburse Note Trustee for any fees and expenses of Note Trustee incurred in
connection therewith (it being agreed that, upon satisfaction in full of the
entitlements under clauses (A), (B) and (C) of this sentence, Issuers shall be
entitled to receive a release of the Lien of the Mortgage and the other
Transaction Documents with respect to the affected Property in accordance with
and subject to the terms of Section 2.5 hereof).

                                      129
<PAGE>

                  (c) Material Casualty or Condemnation and Note Trustee's Right
to Apply. In the event of a Material Casualty or a Material Condemnation or any
title claim or defect, then Note Trustee shall have the option to (i) apply the
Proceeds hereof in the following order of priority: (A) first, to prepay the
principal of the Notes in an amount up to the Release Amount of the Property
which suffered the Casualty or Condemnation or title claim; (B) second, to pay
the amount of (1) all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the principal
amount of the Debt so prepaid through the date which is the final day of the
Interest Accrual Period in which such prepayment is made or, if prohibited by
law, through the date of repayment plus Breakage Costs (including, if an Event
of Default has occurred and is then continuing, interest owed at the Default
Rate), and (2) all other sums then due and owing under the Transaction
Documents; and (C) third, to reimburse Note Trustee for any fees and expenses of
Note Trustee and the Noteholders incurred in connection therewith (it being
agreed that, upon satisfaction in full of the entitlements under clauses (A),
(B) and (C) of this sentence, Issuers shall be entitled to receive a release of
the Lien of the Mortgage and the other Transaction Documents with respect to the
affected Property in accordance with and subject to the terms of Section 2.5
hereof), or (ii) make such Proceeds available to reimburse Issuers for the cost
of any Restoration or curing of such title defect in the manner set forth below
in Section 8.1.2(e) hereof; provided, however, that, if the applicable Property
Management Agreement provides that the applicable Issuer is required to use the
Proceeds to restore the Property in question and such Issuer does not have the
right to terminate the applicable Property Management Agreement pursuant to the
terms of the applicable Property Management Agreement as a result of such
Casualty or Condemnation or otherwise, then Note Trustee shall be obligated to
make such Proceeds available to such Issuer for the Restoration of such Property
pursuant to clause (e) below. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, in the event of a Material Casualty or a Material Condemnation or title
defect, where the applicable Issuer cannot restore, repair, replace or rebuild
the affected Property to be of at least equal value and of substantially the
same character as prior to the Material Casualty or Material Condemnation or
title defect because the affected Property is a legally non-conforming use or as
a result of any other Legal Requirement, Issuer hereby agrees that Note Trustee
may apply the Proceeds payable in connection therewith in accordance with
clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D) above.

                  (d) Intentionally Omitted.

                  (e) Manner of Restoration and Reimbursement. If an Issuer is
entitled pursuant to Section 8.1.2(b) or (c) above to reimbursement out of
Proceeds (and the conditions specified therein shall have been satisfied), such
Proceeds shall be disbursed on a monthly basis upon Note Trustee's being
furnished with (i) such architect's certificates, waivers of lien, contractor's
sworn statements, title insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of survey and such
other evidences of cost, payment and performance as a majority (by Outstanding
Principal Amount) of the Noteholders may reasonably require and approve, and
(ii) all plans and specifications for such Restoration, such plans and
specifications to be approved by a majority (by Outstanding Principal Amount) of
the Noteholders prior to commencement of any work (such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed). In addition, no payment made prior to the
Final Completion of the Restoration shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the
aggregate value of the work performed from time to time; funds other than
Proceeds shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such Proceeds; and at all
times, the undisbursed balance of such Proceeds remaining in the hands of Note
Trustee, together with funds deposited for that purpose or irrevocably committed
to the satisfaction of Note Trustee by or on behalf of Issuers for that purpose,
shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of Note Trustee to pay
for the cost of completion of the Restoration, free and clear of all Liens or
claims for Lien. Prior to any disbursement, Note Trustee shall have received
evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the estimated cost of completion of
the Restoration (such estimate to be made by Issuers' architect or contractor
and approved by a majority (by Outstanding Principal Amount) of the Noteholders
in their reasonable discretion), and Issuers shall have deposited with Note
Trustee Eligible Collateral in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of such
estimated cost of completion over the net Proceeds. Any surplus which may remain
out of Proceeds received pursuant to a Casualty shall be paid to Issuers after
payment of such costs of Restoration. Any surplus which may remain out of
Proceeds received pursuant to a Condemnation shall be delivered to Note Trustee
for deposit into the Deposit Account to be held and disbursed in accordance with
the terms of this Indenture.

                  8.1.3 Condemnation.

                  (a) Issuers shall promptly give Note Trustee written notice of
the actual or threatened commencement of any Condemnation and shall deliver to
Note Trustee copies of any and all papers served in connection with such
Condemnation. Following the occurrence of a Condemnation, Issuers, regardless of
whether Proceeds are available, shall promptly proceed to restore, repair,
replace or rebuild the same to the extent practicable to be of at least equal
value and of substantially the same character as prior to such Condemnation, all
to be effected in accordance with the terms hereof applicable to Alterations.

                  (b) Note Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed as each
Issuer's attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to
collect, receive and retain any Proceeds in respect of a Condemnation and to
make any compromise or settlement in connection with such Condemnation, subject
to the provisions of this Section. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, (x) in the event of a Condemnation where the loss does not exceed
$250,000, Issuers may settle and compromise such Proceeds; provided that the
same is effected in a competent and timely manner, and (y) in the event of a
Condemnation, where the loss exceeds $250,000, Issuers may settle and compromise
the Proceeds only with the consent of a majority (by Outstanding Principal
Amount) of the Noteholders (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) and Note Trustee or its designee on behalf of the Noteholders shall
have the opportunity to participate, at Issuers' cost, in any litigation and
settlement discussions in respect thereof. Notwithstanding any Condemnation by
any public or quasi-public authority (including any transfer made in lieu of or
in anticipation of such a Condemnation), Issuers shall continue to pay the Debt
at the time and in the manner provided for in the Notes, this Indenture and the
other Transaction Documents, and the Debt shall not be reduced unless and until
any Proceeds shall have been actually received and applied by Note Trustee to
discharge the Debt, pay required interest and pay any other required amounts, in
each case, pursuant to the terms of Sections 8.1.2(b) and (c) above. Note
Trustee shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Proceeds by the
condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Proceeds
interest at the rate or rates provided in the Notes. Issuers shall cause any
Proceeds that are payable to Issuers to be paid directly to Note Trustee to be
held and applied in accordance with the terms hereof. With respect to a total or
partial condemnation of the Mexican Properties, each Mexican Issuer agrees to
deliver, at the request of the Note Trustee, a notarized power-of-attorney
appointing Note Trustee as its attorney-in-fact for the purposes set forth in
this paragraph (b). Condemnation proceeds received in respect of a condemnation
of a Mexican Property will be initially received by the Mexican Trustee and
forthwith delivered by Mexican Trustee to Note Trustee for application as
provided herein.

                             ---------------------

                  Section 9.1. Establishment and Maintenance of Cash Management
Deposit Account.

                  (a) On or prior to the Closing Date, Issuers and Operating
Lessees shall establish with Note Trustee, or if Note Trustee is not a
depository institution or if Note Trustee shall otherwise elect, with one or
more depository institutions selected by Note Trustee, a separate deposit
account (the "Deposit Account") which has been established as a deposit account
and a separate holding account (the "Holding Account") which has been
established as a securities account. Both the Deposit Account and the Holding
Account shall be in the name of and under the sole dominion and control of Note
Trustee, subject only to Note Trustee's obligations hereunder to advance funds
therefrom in accordance with this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents,
and no Issuer or Operating Lessee shall have the authority or power to make
withdrawals from either the Deposit Account or the Holding Account. Funds in
either the Deposit Account or the Holding Account shall not be commingled with
any other monies. Pursuant to the Deposit Account Agreement, Depositary Bank on
a daily basis shall transfer all collected and available funds as determined by
Depositary Bank's then current funds availability schedule received in the
Deposit Account to the Holding Account. In recognition of Note Trustee's
security interest in the funds deposited into the Deposit Account and the
Holding Account, Issuer and Operating Lessee shall identify both the Deposit
Account and the Holding Account with the name of Note Trustee, as secured party.
The Deposit Account shall be named as follows: "Strategic Hotel Floating Rate
Public Portfolio f/b/o LaSalle Bank National Association, as Note Trustee
Deposit Account"). The Holding Account shall be named as follows: "Strategic
Hotel Floating Rate Public Portfolio f/b/o LaSalle Bank National Association, as
Note Trustee Holding Account"). Without limiting the foregoing, all deposits
into either the Deposit Account or the Holding Account shall be applied and
disbursed in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 9.4 hereof and
the Deposit Account Agreement.

                  (b) On or prior to the date the Interest Rate Cap Agreement is
effective, Issuers shall notify the Counterparty to make all payments due to
each Issuer under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (and Issuers shall similarly
notify the Counterparty under any Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement or
Extension Interest Rate Cap Agreement) payable directly to the Deposit Account
(the form of such notice shall be subject to the approval of Note Trustee and,
shall be irrevocable without the consent of a majority (by Outstanding Principal
Amount), of the Noteholders until the Debt has been paid in full), and if the
Deposit Account is changed, a comparable notice shall be sent to the
Counterparty. If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.1(b), an
Issuer receives any sums due under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (or any
Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement or Extension Interest Rate Cap
Agreement) then the applicable Issuer (x) shall be deemed to hold such amounts
in trust for Note Trustee and (y) shall deposit any such sums in the Deposit
Account within one Business Day of receipt thereof.

                  (c) On or prior to the date hereof, (x) Operating Lessees
shall notify each of the Property Managers to make all payments due to a
Operating Lessee under the applicable Property Management Agreement and/or
Operating Lease or otherwise payable directly to the Deposit Account or, in the
case of the Mexican Properties, to the trust accounts maintained by the Mexican
Trustee (the form of such notice shall be subject to the approval of Note
Trustee and, shall be irrevocable without the consent of a majority (by
Outstanding Principal Amount) of the Noteholders until the Debt has been paid in
full, it being understood that the notice contained in the Agreements with
Managers is hereby approved by the Noteholders), and (y) Issuers shall notify
Operating Lessees to make all payments due to Issuers under the Operating Leases
(but only to the extent amounts received under the Operating Lease were not paid
from amounts received by the Operating Lessee pursuant to Sections 9.4.1 (xii),
9.2 or 9.3 hereof) directly into the Deposit Account or, in the case of the
Mexican Properties, to the trust accounts maintained by the Mexican Trustee (the
form of such notice shall be subject to the approval of Note Trustee and, shall
be irrevocable without the consent of a majority (by Outstanding Principal
Amount) of the Noteholders until the Debt has been paid in full, it being
understood that the notice contained in the Agreements with Managers is hereby
approved by Noteholders). If the Deposit Account is changed, a comparable notice
shall be sent to each Property Manager and Operating Lessee. If, notwithstanding
the provisions of this Section 9.1(c), an Issuer or Operating Lessee receives
any sums due under a Property Management Agreement, Operating Lease (but only to
the extent amounts received under the Operating Lease were not paid from amounts
received by the Operating Lessee pursuant to Sections 9.4.1 (xii), 9.2 or 9.3
hereof) or other amount (including any "key" or similar funds paid by any
Property Manager or Affiliate thereof to Issuer or Operating Lessee but
excluding only any amounts payable to Issuers or any Affiliates in connection
with the Marriott Litigation) otherwise payable to such Issuer or Operating
Lessee (except for amounts payable to such Issuer or Operating Lessee pursuant
to Sections 9.4.1(xii) or amounts otherwise permitted to be paid or distributed
to or on behalf of Issuers or Operating Lessees under Section 9.2 or Section 9.3
hereof), then the applicable Issuer or Operating Lessee (x) shall be deemed to
hold such amounts in trust for Note Trustee and (y) shall deposit any such sums
in the Deposit Account within one Business Day of receipt thereof. Issuers or
Operating Lessees agree to provide Note Trustee with written notice of any
amounts reimbursed to Sponsor pursuant to this Section within ten (10) Business
Days from the date of such reimbursement. If and to the extent Sponsor or any
affiliate (other than an Issuer or an Operating Lessee) makes a capital
expenditure with respect to a Property that is provided for in an Annual Budget,
provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Issuer will be
entitled to receive reimbursement from the applicable Property Manager from the
FF&E reserve account established under the applicable Property Management
Agreement.

the respective times set forth below in Sections (a) though (j) of this Section

Trustee is not a depository institution or if Note Trustee shall otherwise
elect, a depository institution designated by Note Trustee, the following

                  (f) on or before the date hereof, an account (the "Unfunded
Obligations Account"), in an amount equal to $0, which shall be maintained in
accordance with Section 9.2.14 hereof;

                  (g) on or before the date hereof, an account (the "Current
Debt Service Reserve Account"), which shall be maintained in accordance with

hereunder to advance or otherwise disburse or apply funds therefrom in
accordance with this Indenture, and no Issuer or Operating Lessee shall have the
authority or power to make withdrawals from the Reserve Accounts. The amount
required in each Reserve Account as of the Closing Date may, at Note Trustee's
election, be deposited on Issuers' behalf by Note Trustee's funding said amount
out of the Notes proceeds. Funds in each Reserve Account shall not be commingled
with any other monies. Issuers shall pay the costs of establishing and

                  9.2.2 Periodic Disbursements from the Deferred Maintenance and
Environmental Conditions Reserve Account. Issuers shall have the right to obtain
disbursements from time to time with respect to the Deferred Maintenance and
Environmental Conditions Reserve Account, in accordance with Sections 7.1(g),
9.2.3 and 9.2.5, on the following terms and conditions:

                  (a) disbursements shall be made only to pay or to reimburse
Issuers in respect of actual costs of the work, which costs were (i) approved by
a majority (by Outstanding Principal Amount) of the Noteholders (such approval
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) set forth on Schedule 1.1 or
Schedule 1.2, as the case may be, or (iii) made in accordance with Section 7.1
hereof;

                  (b) each request for disbursement from the Deferred
Maintenance and Environmental Conditions Reserve Account shall be substantially

permitted hereunder and done in accordance herewith, and copies of invoices for
all items or materials purchased and all contracted labor or services shall be
provided;

                  (c) Note Trustee shall have received from Issuers evidence
reasonably satisfactory to Note Trustee that Issuers have incurred such expenses
and that the materials for which the request is made are on site at the
applicable Property and are properly secured or have been installed in such
Property, funds remaining in the Deferred Maintenance and Environmental
Conditions Reserve Account are, in Note Trustee's reasonable judgment,
sufficient to pay the balance of the items contemplated to be funded therefrom

                  (d) Note Trustee shall disburse from the Deferred Maintenance

                  9.2.3 Final Disbursements from Deferred Maintenance and
Environmental Conditions Reserve Account and Unfunded Obligations Account upon
Completion or Determination. Upon the completion of, as applicable, the
remediation of all of the Deferred Maintenance Conditions and the Environmental

of the completion of the remediation of all of the Deferred Maintenance
Conditions and the Environmental Conditions) or the Unfunded Obligations Account
(in the case of the completion of the remediation of all of the Unfunded
Obligations) any amounts remaining therein. In addition, if Note Trustee shall
determine in its discretion, reasonably exercised, and concurred in by a Rating
Confirmation, that one or more Deferred Maintenance Conditions, Environmental
Conditions or Unfunded Obligations do not in fact require remediation, then Note
Trustee shall disburse from, as applicable, the Deferred Maintenance and
Environmental Conditions Reserve Account or the Unfunded Obligations Reserve
Account the amount reserved for such work (i.e., 125% of the originally
estimated cost of such work).

                  9.2.4 Intentionally Omitted.

                  9.2.5 Release of Reserve Accounts upon Repayment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:

                  (a) Note Trustee shall pay to Issuers and Operating Lessees,
on the date that the Debt shall be paid in full by Issuers, all amounts
remaining in the Holding Account, the Reserve Accounts and the Deposit Account
(or at the option, and written direction, of the Issuers and Operating Lessees,
Note Trustee shall apply such amounts to the full payment of the Debt on such
date).

                  (b) In the event of any prepayment of the Notes by the Issuers
that is permitted or required under this Indenture (whether or not such
prepayment is accompanied by the release of any Property), the Note Trustee
shall, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, disburse to
the Issuers and Operating Lessees funds from the Liquidity Reserve Account and
Current Debt Service Reserve Account (or, at the option and written direction of
Issuers, Note Trustee shall apply such amounts to such Prepayment and provide
Issuers and Operating Lessees a credit against any amounts due in connection

according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from Issuers and Operating
Lessees and/or the Ground Lessor, without inquiry into the accuracy of such
bill, statement or estimate so procured or into the validity of such bill,
statement or estimate unless given written notice by Issuers of such inaccuracy,
invalidity or other contest in each case in accordance with Section 5.1(b)(ii)
hereof. If the amount in the Ground Rent Reserve Account shall exceed the
amounts due for Ground Rent, Note Trustee shall, at its option, return any
excess to Issuers and Operating Lessees or credit such excess against future
payments to be made to the Ground Rent Reserve Account. If at any time Note
Trustee determines that the amount in the Ground Rent Reserve Account is not or
will not be sufficient to pay the items set forth in Sections 9.2.10(a) above,
Note Trustee shall notify Issuers of such determination and Issuers shall
increase its monthly payments to Note Trustee by the amount that Note Trustee

nearest integer) and the denominator of which is the number of months in such
installment period, and (ii) the product of the next installment of Insurance
Premiums that are payable by an Issuer or Operating Lessee (rather than the
applicable Property Manager) times a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of months in the installment period for such premiums elapsed as of the

(excluding any Ground Rent) and Insurance Premiums required to be paid by
Issuers or Operating Lessees hereunder (and so long as the Tax and Insurance
Escrow Account shall have a balance at least equal to the then-payable Taxes,
Other Charges and Insurance Premiums, Issuers shall not be in default hereunder
if Note Trustee shall have not so applied such balance to the payment of such
Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums, unless Note Trustee shall have not
so applied such balance at the request of Issuers or Operating Lessees) or (y)
to reimburse Issuers or Operating Lessees for such amounts upon presentation of
evidence of payment and an Officer's Certificate in form and substance
satisfactory to Note Trustee, subject, however, to Issuers' and Operating
Lessees' right to contest Taxes and Other Charges in accordance with the terms
hereof. In making any payment from or to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account,
Note Trustee may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured
from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes and Other Charges) or
insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the
accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax,
assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof unless given
written notice by Issuers or Operating Lessees of such inaccuracy, invalidity or
other contest, in each case in accordance with Section 5.1(b)(ii) hereof. If the
amount in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account shall exceed the amounts due for
Taxes and Other Charges and Insurance Premiums, Note Trustee shall, at its
option, return any excess to Issuers and Operating Lessees or credit such excess
against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account.
Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Issuers and
Operating Lessees shall have the right to have Note Trustee apply amounts
deposited in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account on account of Taxes and Other
Charges toward the payment of such Taxes and Other Charges prior to their
delinquent dates for the purpose of achieving a discount on such Taxes and Other
Charges. If at any time Note Trustee determines that the amount in the Tax and
Insurance Escrow Account is not or will not be sufficient to pay the items set
forth in Sections 9.3.1(a) and 9.3.1(b) above, Note Trustee shall notify Issuers
of such determination and Issuers and Operating Lessees shall increase their
monthly payments to Note Trustee by the amount that Note Trustee estimates is
sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to
delinquency of the Taxes and Other Changes and/or expiration of the Policies, as
the case may be.

                  9.3.3 Tax and Insurance Sub-Account. (a) On the Closing Date,
Issuers and Operating Lessees shall establish and maintain with Note Trustee,
or, if Note Trustee is not a depository institution or if Note Trustee shall
otherwise elect, with one or more depository institutions selected by Note
Trustee, a separate sub-account of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account (the
"Tax and Insurance Sub-Account"). On the Closing Date, Note Trustee shall
deposit into the Tax and Insurance Sub-Account an amount equal to $0 (the
"Initial Tax and Insurance Sub-Account Amount")

                  (b) The parties hereby agree that, if, at any time, the
aggregate Taxes, Other Charges and (at any time when insurance required
hereunder is not provided under a Blanket Policy) Insurance Premiums estimated
by Note Trustee to be payable by or on behalf of the Issuers and Operating
Lessees in respect of the Properties during the ensuing twelve months increases
over such aggregate as of the Closing Date, then, in the event of such an
increase, by no later than the first Payment Date following such an increase,
the Issuers and Operating Lessees shall deposit, or monies shall be transferred
in accordance with Section 9.4 hereof from the Holding Account, into the Tax and
Insurance Sub-Account, in an amount equal to the Tax and Insurance Incremental
Amount at such time. The "Tax and Insurance Incremental Amount" at any time
means the positive excess (if any) of (i) an amount equal to one-twelfth of the
aggregate Taxes, Other Charges and (at any time when insurance required
hereunder is not provided under a Blanket Policy) Insurance Premiums estimated
by Note Trustee to be payable by or on behalf of the Issuers and Operating
Lessees in respect of the Properties during the ensuing twelve months, over (ii)
the amount then on deposit in the Tax and Insurance Sub-Account.

Holding Account; Issuers' Obligation to Fund Deposit Account.

                  9.4.1 Disbursements. On each Business Day the Depositary Bank
shall transfer all collected and available funds in the Deposit Account to the
Holding Account and on each Business Day (or as otherwise provided for in the
Deposit Account Agreement), provided no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, and subject to Section 9.4.2 hereof, Note Trustee shall transfer
from the Holding Account (or authorize such transfer) in accordance with the
terms of the Deposit Account Agreement, to the extent available therein, the
following payments in accordance with the following priorities:

applicable, Issuers shall deposit into the Deposit Account on such Payment Date
the amount of such deficiency (without the need for any notice or demand from
Note Trustee (but subject to the terms of the Deposit Account Agreement)), and
if Issuers shall fail to make such deposit, the same shall be an Event of
Default and, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for
hereunder, Note Trustee may disburse and apply the amounts in the Holding
Account in such order as Note Trustee may determine. If on any Payment Date the
amount in the Holding Account shall be sufficient to make all of the transfers

Trustee is legally constrained from transferring such amount as aforesaid by
reason of any insolvency related to any Issuer or any other event.

                  Section 9.6. Grant of Security Interest; Rights upon Default.

                  (a) Each Issuer and Operating Lessee hereby pledges, assigns
and grants a security interest to Note Trustee, as security for payment of all
sums due in respect of the Notes and the performance of all other terms,
conditions and covenants of this Indenture and any other Transaction Document on
such Issuer's part to be paid and performed, in all of such Issuer's and
Operating Lessee's right, title and interest in and to the Deposit Account, the
Holding Account and each Reserve Account (including, without limitation, the Tax
and Insurance Escrow Account), together with the deposits therein, including all
interest earned thereon and Permitted Investments held therein. No Issuer or
Operating Lessee shall, without obtaining the prior written consent of a
majority (by Outstanding Principal Amount) of the Noteholders, further pledge,
assign or grant any security interest in the Deposit Account, the Holding
Account or any Reserve Account (including, without limitation, the Tax and
Insurance Escrow Account), or permit any Lien or encumbrance to attach thereto,
or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements or any other
notice or instrument as may be required under the UCC, as appropriate, except
those naming Note Trustee as the secured party, to be filed with respect
thereto.

                  (b) Upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of
Default, Note Trustee may apply amounts in the Deposit Account, the Holding
Account and any Reserve Account (including the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account)
(or any portion thereof) for any of the following purposes relating to the Notes
or Issuers' or Operating Lessees' obligations hereunder or under any other
Transaction Document, and in any order, as Note Trustee shall elect in its sole
discretion: (i) Taxes and Other Charges; (ii) Insurance Premiums; (iii) interest
on the unpaid principal balance of the Notes; (iv) amortization of the unpaid
principal balance of the Notes; (v) completion of all work required to be
performed hereunder; (vi) reimbursement of Note Trustee for all losses and
expenses (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements) suffered or
incurred by Note Trustee as a result of such Event of Default; (vii) the cost of
any necessary or reasonable repair or replacement to any Property; (viii)
payment of any amount expended in exercising rights and remedies available to
Note Trustee at law or in equity or under this Indenture or under any of the
other Transaction Documents; (ix) Operating Expenses; or (x) any other portion
of the Debt.

                  Section 9.7. Note Trustee Not Responsible. Nothing in this
Article IX or elsewhere in the Transaction Documents shall make Note Trustee
responsible for making or completing any work in respect of any Property, or
obligate Note Trustee to demand from any Issuer additional sums to make or
complete any work.

                  Section 9.8. Inspections; Undertaking of Work.

                  (a) Subject to the applicable Property Management Agreement,
Issuers and Operating Lessees shall permit Note Trustee and Note Trustee's
agents and representatives (including any servicer or special servicer in
connection with a Securitization or Note Trustee's engineer, architect or
inspector) to enter onto the applicable Property during normal business
hours after reasonable notice (subject to the rights of Tenants under the Leases
other than the Operating Leases) to inspect the progress of any work being
performed by or on behalf of any Issuer or Operating Lessee, including any
Alterations, and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine
all plans and shop drawings relating thereto and, upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, to undertake and complete any work
required to be undertaken in accordance with the terms hereof. Issuers shall
cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Note Trustee or Note
Trustee's representatives or such other persons described above in connection
with inspections described in this Section 9.8 or the undertaking or completion
of work pursuant to this Section 9.8.

<PAGE>

                  (b) Subject to the applicable Property Management Agreement,
Note Trustee may inspect the applicable Property in connection with any work
undertaken by or on behalf of any Issuer or Operating Lessee at such Property
(subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.8(a) above) prior to
disbursing funds, from any Reserve Account or otherwise, for such work. Note
Trustee, at Issuers' expense, may require that such inspection be conducted by
an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Note Trustee
and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent
qualified professional acceptable to Note Trustee prior to the disbursement of
any amounts therefor. Issuers shall pay a reasonable inspection fee for each
inspection conducted by a third party.

                  (c) Issuers and Operating Lessees shall collaterally assign to
Note Trustee, as additional security for the Notes, to the extent permitted, all
rights and claims any Issuer or Operating Lessee may have against all Persons
supplying labor or materials in connection with any Alterations; provided,
however, Note Trustee may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of
Default has occurred and remains uncured.

                  Section 9.9. Bankruptcy. Each Issuer, Operating Lessee and
Note Trustee hereby acknowledge and agree that upon the filing of a bankruptcy
petition by or against any Issuer or Operating Lessee under the Bankruptcy Code,
the Reserve Accounts and the Adjusted Operating Income (whether then already in
the Reserve Account, or then due or becoming due thereafter) shall be deemed not
to be property of the applicable Issuer's or Operating Lessee's bankruptcy
estate within the meaning of Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code or Title Third
of the Ley de Concursos Mercantiles. In the event, however, that a court of
competent jurisdiction determines that, notwithstanding the foregoing
characterization of the Reserve Accounts and the Adjusted Operating Income by
each Issuer, Operating Lessee and Note Trustee, the Reserve Accounts and/or the
Adjusted Operating Income do constitute property of the applicable Issuer's or
Operating Lessee's bankruptcy estate, then each Issuer, Operating Lessee and
Note Trustee hereby further acknowledge and agree that all such Adjusted
Operating Income, whether due and payable before or after the filing of the
petition, are and shall be cash collateral of Note Trustee. Each Issuer and
Operating Lessee acknowledges that Noteholders do not consent to any Issuer's or
Operating Lessee's use of such cash collateral and that, in the event a majority
(by Outstanding Principal Amount) of the Noteholders elects (in their sole
discretion) to give such consent, such consent shall only be effective if given
in writing signed by such majority of the Noteholders. Except as provided in the
immediately preceding sentence, no Issuer or Operating Lessee shall have the
right to use or apply or require the use or application of such cash collateral
(i) unless the applicable Issuer or Operating Lessee shall have received a court
order authorizing the use of the same, and (ii) the applicable Issuer or
Operating Lessee shall have provided such adequate protection to Note Trustee as
shall be required by the bankruptcy court in accordance with the Bankruptcy
Code.

         thereof from Note Trustee;

                           (iv) Transfers. If (A) any Issuer or Operating Lessee
         transfers or encumbers all or any portion of any Property, except as
         permitted herein, (B) any direct or indirect interest in any Issuer or
         Operating Lessee is transferred or assigned, other than, in each case,

         warranty made by any Issuer or any Operating Lessee herein or in any
         other Transaction Document shall be false in any material respect as of
         the date the representation or warranty was made and, with respect to
         any such false statement that is reasonably susceptible to cure and
         does not have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to any Property,
         the Liens intended to be created by the Transaction Documents thereon
         or any other collateral or the Single Purpose Entity structure of any
         Issuer is not cured within thirty (30) days after receipt by Issuer of

                           (vii) Bankruptcy. If a receiver, liquidator or

         if any proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation of any Issuer
         shall be instituted; provided, however, if such appointment,
         adjudication, petition or proceeding was involuntary and not consented
         to by such Issuer or Operating Lessee, upon the same not being
         discharged, stayed or dismissed within sixty (60) days;

                           (viii) Prohibited Assignment. If any Issuer or
         Operating Lessee attempts to assign its respective rights under this

         Transaction Documents;

                           (ix) Breach of Covenant. If any Issuer or Operating
         Lessee breaches any of its negative covenants contained in Section 6.1
         hereof or if any Issuer or Operating Lessee breaches any covenant
         contained in Section 4.1(bb) hereof and, if the same is susceptible of
         cure, the same is not cured within fifteen (15) days after written
         notice thereof from Note Trustee; provided that no cure of a breach of
         any covenant contained in Section 4.1(bb) hereof shall be effective
         unless Issuers cause to be delivered to Note Trustee an opinion as to
         non-consolidation in form and substance and from counsel reasonably
         satisfactory to Note Trustee, which opinion takes into account such
         breach;

                           (x) Default under Other Transaction Documents. If an
         Event of Default as defined or described in any of the other
         Transaction Documents occurs, or if any other event shall occur or
         condition shall exist, if the effect of such event or condition is to
         accelerate the maturity of any portion of the Debt or to permit Note
         Trustee to accelerate the maturity of all or any portion of the Debt in
         accordance with the terms of any such Transaction Document;

                           (xi) Failure to Deposit Reserve Payments. Subject to

         reserve or escrow account required hereunder; or

                           (xii) Covenant Defaults. If any Issuer or Operating
         Lessee shall continue to be in default under any of the other terms,
         covenants or conditions of this Indenture not specified in Sections (i)
         to (xi) above, for ten (10) days after notice to Issuers from Note
         Trustee, in the case of any Default which can be cured by the payment
         of a sum of money, or for thirty (30) days after notice from Note
         Trustee in the case of any other Default; provided, however, that if
         such non-monetary Default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably
         be cured within such 30-day period and Issuers or Operating Lessees
         shall have commenced to cure such default within such 30-day period and
         thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, such
         30-day period shall be extended for an additional period of time as is
         reasonably necessary for Issuers or Operating Lessees in the exercise
         of due diligence to cure such Default, but the aggregate cure period
         under this Section (xii) shall not exceed one hundred and twenty (120)
         days.

         any material respect under any Property Management Agreement, Operating
         Lease, or Material Agreements to which it is party, subject to any
         applicable cure periods set forth therein or (b) if any Property
         Management Agreement shall be terminated and an Acceptable Property
         Manager is no longer managing the Property pursuant to an Acceptable
         Property Management Agreement, unless, subject to Section 6.1(a),
         contemporaneously with such termination the applicable Issuer enters
         into an Acceptable Property Management Agreement with an Acceptable
         Property Manager.

                           (xiv) Ground Lease Default. If the Lincolnshire
         Issuer shall fail, beyond any applicable notice and grace period
         permitted to the Lincolnshire Issuer under the Ground Lease, to pay any
         rent, additional rent or other charge mentioned in or made payable
         pursuant to the Ground Lease when such rent, additional rent or other
         charge is due and payable (other than where the same is being contested
         in good faith in accordance with the terms of Section 5.1(b)(ii)
         hereof); or if the leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease shall
         be surrendered or the Ground Lease shall be terminated or canceled for
         any reason or under any circumstances whatsoever.

                  (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an
Event of Default and at any time thereafter, Note Trustee may, in addition to
any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Indenture or any
other Transaction Document, or at law or in equity, take such action, without
notice or demand, that Note Trustee deems advisable to protect and enforce its
rights against any Issuer and in and to all or any part of a Property,
including, without limitation, declaring the Debt to be immediately due and
payable (provided, however, with respect to an Event of Default described in
clause (vi), (vii) or (viii) above, the Debt and all other obligations of any
Issuer hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents shall immediately and
automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and each Issuer
hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or
in any other Transaction Document to the contrary notwithstanding), and Note
Trustee may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in
the Transaction Documents against any Issuer and all or any portion of a
Property, including all rights or remedies available at law or in equity.

                  (c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any
Event of Default, Note Trustee may, but without any obligation to do so and
without notice to or demand on any Issuer and without releasing any Issuer from
any obligation hereunder, take any action to cure such Event of Default. Note
Trustee may enter upon any Property upon reasonable notice to Issuers for such
purposes or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect
their interests and the interests of Note Trustee in such Property or to
foreclose the applicable Mortgage or collect the Debt. The costs and expenses
incurred by Note Trustee in exercising rights under this paragraph (including
reasonable attorneys' fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest at the
Default Rate for the period after notice from the Note Trustee that such costs
or expenses were incurred to the date of payment to Note Trustee, shall
constitute a portion of the Debt, shall be secured by the Mortgages and the
other Transaction Documents and shall be due and payable to Note Trustee upon
demand therefor.

<PAGE>

                  (d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the other
Transaction Documents, if an Event of Default is caused by a Default in respect
of a Property (such as, without limitation, a Default arising from an inability
to maintain a material license for the operation of a Property), then, provided
(i) Note Trustee shall have not accelerated the Notes, and (ii) the elimination
of such Property from the collateral securing the Notes and from the ownership
of Issuers would eliminate the condition or circumstance giving rise to the
Event of Default, then Issuers may, after the expiration of the Lockout Period,
by notice to Note Trustee, elect to prepay the Notes in the manner provided in
(and subject to the requirements of) Section 2.4 in an amount equal to the
Release Amount of such Property, so as to obtain the release thereof from the
Lien of the applicable Mortgage pursuant to Section 2.5, together with accrued
interest in respect of such amount through the end of the applicable Interest
Accrual Period. Upon such prepayment and release, such Event of Default shall be
deemed cured hereunder.

                  Section 10.2. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights,
powers, privileges and other remedies available to Note Trustee against any
Issuer under this Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents executed
and delivered by, or applicable to, any Issuer or at law (including, without
limitation, an action for collection) or in equity may be exercised by Note
Trustee at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt
shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Note Trustee shall have
commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its
rights and remedies under any of the Transaction Documents with respect to all
or any portion of a Property. Any such actions taken by Note Trustee shall be
cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly,
successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Note
Trustee may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of
Note Trustee permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in
the other Transaction Documents. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, each Issuer agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Note
Trustee is not subject to any "one action" or "election of remedies" law or
rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to
Note Trustee shall remain in full force and effect until Note Trustee has
exhausted all of its remedies against each Property and each Mortgage has been
foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or
the Debt has been paid in full.

                  Section 10.3. Remedies Cumulative. The rights, powers and
remedies of Note Trustee under this Indenture shall be cumulative and not
exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Note Trustee may have
against any Issuer pursuant to this Indenture or the other Transaction
Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Note Trustee's rights,
powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such
time and in such order as Note Trustee may determine in Note Trustee's sole
discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing
upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default shall
impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver
thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time
and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of
Default with respect to an Issuer shall not be construed to be a waiver of any
subsequent Default or Event of Default with respect to any Issuer or to impair
any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

                              PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
                              -------------------

                  Section 11.1. Property Management.

                  (a) Each Issuer or Operating Lessee represents, warrants and
covenants that each Property shall at all times be managed by an Acceptable
Property Manager pursuant to an Acceptable Property Management Agreement.

                  (b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained
herein or in the other Transaction Documents, except as provided in this Section
11.1(b), no Issuer or Operating Lessee may amend, modify, supplement, alter or
waive any right under any Property Management Agreement without the receipt of a
Rating Confirmation. Without the receipt of a Rating Confirmation, an Issuer or
Operating Lessee shall be permitted to make any nonmaterial modification,
change, supplement, alteration or amendment to any Property Management Agreement
and to waive any nonmaterial rights thereunder, provided that no such
modification, change, supplement, alteration, amendment or waiver shall affect
the cash management procedures set forth in the Property Management Agreements
or the Transaction Documents, decrease the cash flow of the applicable Property
covered thereunder, adversely affect the marketability of the applicable
Property covered thereunder, change the definitions of "default" or "event of
default," change the definitions of "operating expense" or words of similar
meaning to add additional items to such definitions, change the definitions of
"owner's distribution" or "owner's equity" or "debt service amount" or words of
similar meaning so as to reduce the payments due the related Issuer thereunder,
change the timing of remittances to the related Issuer or Operating Lessee
thereunder, increase or decrease reserve requirements, change the term of such
Property Management Agreement or increase any Management Fees payable under such
Property Management Agreement.

                  (c) An Issuer or Operating Lessee may enter into a new
Property Management Agreement with an Acceptable Property Manager upon receipt
of a Rating Confirmation with respect to such Property Management Agreement.

                  (d) Issuer and Operating Lessee hereby agrees that subject to
the terms of the respective Property Management Agreement (as modified by any
Agreement with Managers) or Acceptable Property Management Agreements, Note
Trustee shall have the right to terminate and replace property managers
subsequent to (i) an Event of Default under this Indenture and (ii) an
acceleration of the Notes.

                  (e) The Noteholders by their acceptance of the Notes hereby
agree that upon delivery by Issuers of amendments to the Management Agreements
described in the Marriott Side Letter in a form and substance no less favorable
to Issuers and the Noteholders than the applicable terms set forth on the term
sheets attached hereto as Exhibit F (as determined by a majority (by Outstanding
Principal Amount) of the Noteholders in their sole but reasonable discretion)
and that are otherwise in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to a
majority (by Outstanding Principal Amount) of the Noteholders, the Note Trustee
on behalf of the Noteholders shall consent to Issuers entering into such
amendments.

                                  -------------

                  Section 12.1. Survival. This Indenture and all covenants,
agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates
delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making by Note Trustee of the Notes
and the execution and delivery to Note Trustee of the Notes, and shall continue
in full force and effect so long as all or any of the Debt of Issuers is
outstanding and unpaid. Whenever in this Indenture any Person is referred to,
such reference shall be deemed to include the legal representatives, successors
and assigns of such Person (provided that the foregoing shall not be deemed to
permit any transfer of any ownership interest that is otherwise prohibited
hereunder). All covenants, promises and agreements in this Indenture contained,
by or on behalf of any Issuer, shall inure to the benefit of the respective
legal representatives, successors and assigns of Note Trustee.

                  Section 12.2. Permitted Investments; Eligible Accounts;
Eligible Institutions. Note Trustee shall invest any amounts to be held by Note
Trustee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture or any other Transaction
Document (other than amounts held in the Deposit Account, which may be an
interest bearing account), pending the application of such amounts to the
purposes herein or therein provided, in one of the Permitted Investments as
directed by Issuers from time to time (provided no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing); or Note Trustee from time to time (if any Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing). Note Trustee shall not be responsible for its
inability to invest funds received after 1:30 p.m. New York City time, but shall
invest such sums on the following Business Day. After application to the
purposes for which any amounts invested pursuant to this Section 12.2 are held
and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, any
investment income earned from such investments shall be paid to Issuers. All
accounts maintained hereunder, including the Deposit Account, the Holding
Account, the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account and the other Reserve Accounts,
shall, at Note Trustee's election, be Eligible Accounts. No Eligible Account
shall be evidenced by a certificate of deposit, passbook or other instrument.
Each Eligible Account (A) shall be a separate and identifiable account from all
other funds held by the holding institution, (B) shall be established and
maintained in the name of the Note Trustee (and subsequent to any
Securitization, shall bear a designation clearly indicating that the funds
deposited therein are held for the benefit of the holders of the Notes), (C)
shall be under the sole dominion and control of Note Trustee, and should contain
only funds held for its benefit. Following a rating downgrade, withdrawal,
qualification or suspension of an Eligible Institution which maintains an
Eligible Account each such Eligible Account must promptly (and in any case
within not more than thirty (30) calendar days) be moved to a qualifying
Eligible Institution. The out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred in
establishing and maintaining any account or reserve held by Note Trustee
pursuant to this Indenture or any other Transaction Document shall be borne by
Issuers.

                  Section 12.3. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction.

                  (b) ANY LEGAL SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST NOTE TRUSTEE
OR ANY ISSUER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE INSTITUTED
IN ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK, PURSUANT TO ss. 5-1402 OF

                  Section 12.4. Modification, Waiver in Writing. No
modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any
provision of this Indenture, or of the Notes, or of any other Transaction
Document, nor consent to any departure by any Issuer therefrom, shall in any
event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party
against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on any
Issuer, shall entitle an Issuer to any other or future notice or demand in the
same, similar or other circumstances.

                  Section 12.5. Delay Not a Waiver. Neither any failure nor any
delay on the part of Note Trustee in insisting upon strict performance of any
term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy
or privilege hereunder, or under the Notes or under any other Transaction
Document, or any other instrument given as security therefor, shall operate as
or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof
preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power,
remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting
payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Indenture, the Notes
or any other Transaction Document, Note Trustee shall not be deemed to have
waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts
due under this Indenture, the Notes or the other Transaction Documents, or to
declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

                  Section 12.6. Notices. All notices, consents, approvals and
requests required or permitted hereunder or under any other Transaction Document
shall be given in writing and shall be effective for all purposes if hand

HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY
JURY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY
FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD
TO THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING
IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN
KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY EACH OF NOTE TRUSTEE AND EACH ISSUER AND IS
INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE

                  Section 12.8. Headings. The Article and/or Section headings
and the Table of Contents in this Indenture are included herein for convenience
of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Indenture for any
other purpose.

                  Section 12.9. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision
of this Indenture shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and
valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Indenture shall be
prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this
Indenture.

                  Section 12.10. Preferences. Subject to Article IX hereof, Note
Trustee shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and
reapply any and all payments by Issuers to any portion of the obligations of
Issuers hereunder. To the extent any Issuer makes a payment or payments to Note
Trustee, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to
be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law,
state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such
payment or proceeds received, the obligations hereunder or part thereof intended
to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if
such payment or proceeds had not been received by Note Trustee.

                  Section 12.11. Waiver of Notice. No Issuer shall be entitled
to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Note Trustee except with respect to
matters for which this Indenture or the other Transaction Documents specifically
and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Note Trustee to Issuers and
except with respect to matters for which Issuers are not, pursuant to applicable
Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Each Issuer hereby
expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Note Trustee with respect
to any matter for which this Indenture or the other Transaction Documents do not
specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Note Trustee to
Issuers.

                  Section 12.12. Remedies of Issuers. In the event that a claim
or adjudication is made that Note Trustee or its agents, including any servicer
or special servicer in connection with a Securitization, have acted unreasonably
or unreasonably delayed (or refrained from), acting in any case where by law or
under this Indenture or the other Transaction Documents, Note Trustee or such
agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, each
Issuer agrees that neither Note Trustee nor its agents, including any servicer
and special servicer in connection with a Securitization, shall be liable for
any monetary damages, and Issuers' sole remedies shall be limited to commencing
an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment, except in any
instance in which it has been finally determined that Note Trustee's action,
delay or inaction has constituted gross negligence, fraud, willful misconduct or
an illegal act. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to
determine whether Note Trustee has acted reasonably shall be determined by an
action seeking declaratory judgment.

                  Section 12.13. Expenses; Indemnity.

                  (a) Each Issuer covenants and agrees to reimburse Note Trustee
upon receipt of written notice from Note Trustee for all (i) Expenses; (ii)
costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Note Trustee or the Noteholders in
connection with (A) Issuers' ongoing performance of and compliance with Issuers'
respective agreements and covenants contained in this Indenture and the other
Transaction Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the
Closing Date, including confirming compliance with environmental and insurance
requirements; (B) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and
administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to
this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents and any other documents or
matters requested by any Issuer or by Note Trustee; (C) filing and recording
fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel for providing to Note Trustee or the Noteholders all required legal
opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the
Liens in favor of Note Trustee pursuant to this Indenture and the other
Transaction Documents; (D) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to
third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding
or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Issuers, this
Indenture, the other Transaction Documents or any other security given for the
Notes or the Properties; and (E) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any
payments due from any Issuer under this Indenture, the other Transaction
Documents or with respect to the Properties or in connection with any
refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this
Indenture in the nature of a "work-out" or of any insolvency or bankruptcy
proceedings; provided , however, that Issuers shall not be liable for the
payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of
the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Note Trustee.
Any costs and expenses due and payable to Note Trustee hereunder which are not
paid by Issuers within thirty (30) days after demand may be paid from any
amounts in the Holding Account, with notice thereof to Issuers. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, except as provided in Article XIII herein, Issuer shall not be
required to pay (and Note Trustee shall promptly reimburse Issuer for) any costs

incurred by, or asserted against Note Trustee in any manner relating to or
arising out of any breach by any Issuer of its obligations under, or any
misrepresentation by any Issuer contained in, this Indenture or the other

payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of
the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Note Trustee.
Any costs and expenses due and payable to Note Trustee or the Noteholders
hereunder which are not paid by Issuers within ten (10) days after demand may be

other Transaction Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets,
counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which any Issuer
may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated
counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by an Issuer in any
action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any
such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or
defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by each

written approval of Note Trustee.

                  Section 12.18. Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest
extent Issuers may legally do so, each Issuer waives all rights to a marshalling
of the assets of Issuers, Issuers' partners, if any, and others with interests

in the event of foreclosure of the interests hereby created, and agrees not to
assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the
sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of
estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or
affect the right of Note Trustee under the Transaction Documents to a sale of
any one or more of the Properties for the collection of the related Debt without
any prior or different resort for collection, of the right of Note Trustee or
any deed of trust trustee to the payment of the related Debt out of the net
proceeds of the Properties in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In
addition, each Issuer, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the
event of foreclosure of any or all of the Mortgage, any equitable right
otherwise available to any Issuer which would require the separate sale of
portions of a Property.

                  Section 12.19. Waiver of Counterclaim. Each Issuer hereby
waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim,
in any action or proceeding brought against it by Note Trustee or its agents,
including any servicer and special servicer in connection with a Securitization.

                  Section 12.20. Conflict; Construction of Documents. In the
event of any conflict between the provisions of this Indenture and any of the
other Transaction Documents, the provisions of this Indenture shall control. The

transactions contemplated by this Indenture. Issuers hereby indemnify Note
Trustee and hold Note Trustee harmless from and against any and all claims,
liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind in any way relating to or arising
from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of any Issuer in
connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this
Section 12.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Indenture and
the repayment of the Debt.

                  Section 12.22. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Indenture
and the other Transaction Documents are solely for the benefit of Note Trustee,
the Noteholders and the Issuers, and nothing contained in this Indenture or the
other Transaction Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than
Note Trustee, the Noteholders and Issuers any right to insist upon or to enforce
the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or
therein. All conditions to the obligations of Note Trustee to make the Notes

of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that
Note Trustee will refuse to enter into this Indenture and the Noteholders will
refuse to purchase the Notes in the absence of strict compliance with any or all
thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a
beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in
whole or in part by Note Trustee if, in Note Trustee's sole discretion, Note
Trustee deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Note Trustee agrees that
its sole recourse against any Operating Lessee for such Operating Lessee's
obligations hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents shall be to the
collateral owned by such Operating Lessee and pledged to Note Trustee pursuant
to the terms of the Transaction Documents and (ii) the total liability of any
Issuer under this Indenture, the Notes, the Mortgages or any of the other
Transaction Documents shall not:

                           (i) at any time during the period from the Closing
         Date to a date one year and a day after the Closing Date exceed the sum
         of (A) the Allocated Outstanding Principal Amount for the Property or
         Properties as being owned by such Issuer plus (B) such Issuer's Net
         Worth on the date hereof, less (C) $1,000, and

                           (ii) at any time after the period referred to in
         clause (i) above exceed the sum of (A) the Allocated Outstanding
         Principal Amount for the Properties as being owned by such Issuer plus
         (B) the greater of such Issuer's Net Worth on the date hereof and such

         Worth on any date subsequent to the date that is one year and a day
         after the Closing Date, such Issuer's liabilities shall only include
         liabilities that are permitted under the terms of the Transaction
         Documents), less (C) $1,000.

                  For purposes of the foregoing, "Net Worth" of an Issuer shall
mean the positive net worth of such Issuer, based on the sum of (x) the fair
saleable value of its assets (determined after giving effect to distributions,
if any, by such Issuer to such Issuer's partners, members or other equity
investors, as applicable, of the proceeds of the Notes received by such Issuer
on account of the issuance of the Notes and determined in accordance with
applicable laws governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors), less (y)
its liabilities (determined as in clause (x) above), including a portion of the
Notes (as applicable) equal to the Allocated Outstanding Principal Amount for
the Property or Properties identified on Schedule A as being owned by such
Issuer, but excluding amounts payable under this Indenture, the Transaction
Documents, the Notes, the Mortgages and any other Transaction Documents in

                  Section 12.25. Assignability. This Indenture and the Notes,
and each Note Trustee's and the Noteholders' rights, remedies and privileges
hereunder and the other Transaction Documents, shall be assignable by the Note
Trustee and the Noteholders at any time and from time to time, in whole or in
part, in such Note Trustee's discretion. In addition, the Noteholders may
participate to one or more Persons all or any portion of its rights and
obligations hereunder and the other Transaction Documents (including without
limitation, all or a portion of the Notes) utilizing such documentation to
evidence such participation and the parties' respective rights thereunder as
Noteholder, in its sole discretion, shall elect. Each assignee pursuant to this
Section may sell participations to one or more Persons (other than Issuer or any
of its Affiliates) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations
hereunder and the other Transaction Documents (including, without limitation,
all or a portion of the Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) such
assignee's obligations hereunder and the other Transaction Documents shall
remain unchanged, (ii) such assignee shall remain solely responsible to the
other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such
assignee shall remain the holder of any such Notes for all purposes of hereunder
and the other Transaction Documents, and (iv) Issuer, Note Trustee and the
assignees pursuant to this Section shall continue to deal solely and directly
with such assignee in connection with such assignee's rights and obligations
hereunder and the other Transaction Documents. In the event that more than one
(1) party comprises the Note Trustee or Noteholders, the Note Trustee or the
Noteholders, as applicable, shall designate one party to act on the behalf of
all parties comprising the Noteholders in providing approvals and all other
necessary consents under the Transaction Documents and on whose statements
Issuer may rely. Prior to the transfer of any interest in the Notes to any
Person, such Person shall be required by the transferor of such interest to
deliver to such transferor a certificate executed by an authorized signatory for
such Person making a representation that such transfer will not result in a
prohibited transaction under Section 406(a) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code
for which no exemption is available. Except as expressly set forth in Section
6.1(i)(ii), no Issuer may sell, assign or transfer any interest in the
Transaction Documents or any portion thereof (including, without limitation, any
Issuer's rights, title, interests, remedies, powers and duties hereunder and
thereunder).

neither undertakes nor assumes any responsibility or duty to any Issuer or any
other party to select, review, inspect, examine, supervise, pass judgment upon
or inform any Issuer or any third party of (a) the existence, quality, adequacy
or suitability of appraisals of any Property or any other collateral, (b) any
environmental report, or (c) any other matters or items, including, but not
limited to, engineering, soils and seismic reports which are contemplated in the
Transaction Documents. Any such selection, review, inspection, examination and
the like, and any other due diligence conducted by Note Trustee or the
Noteholders, is solely for the purpose of protecting Note Trustee's rights under
the Transaction Documents, and shall not render Note Trustee liable to any
Issuer or any third party for the existence, sufficiency, accuracy, completeness
or legality thereof.

                  Section 12.27. Contribution Among Issuers.

                  (a) Contribution. To provide for just and equitable
contribution among Issuers, if any payment is made by an Issuer (a "Funding
Issuer") hereunder or under the Notes or any other Transaction Document in
respect of the Obligations such Funding Issuer shall be entitled to a
contribution from other Issuers for all payments, damages and expenses incurred
by such Funding Issuer under or in connection with such Obligations, such
contributions to be made in the manner and to the extent set forth below. Any
amount payable as a contribution under this Indenture shall be determined as of
the date on which the related payment is made by a Funding Issuer.

                  (b) Calculation of Contributions. Each Issuer shall be liable
for contribution to each Funding Issuer in respect of all payments, damages and
expenses incurred by such Funding Issuer hereunder or under the Notes or any
other Transaction Document in an aggregate amount, subject to Section 12.27(c)
below, equal to (i) the ratio of (x) the Property Worth of the Property owned by
such Issuer to (y) the Property Worth of the Properties owned by all Issuers,
multiplied by (ii) the aggregate amount of such payments, damages and expenses
incurred by such Funding Issuer under or in connection with the Obligations.

                  (c) Rights to Contribution Subordinated. Each Issuer agrees
that all of its rights to receive contribution under this Section 12.27 (whether
for payments, damages, expenses or otherwise) and all of its rights, if any, to
be subrogated to any of the rights of Note Trustee and the Noteholders shall be
subordinated in right of payment (in liquidation or otherwise) to the prior
payment in full in cash of all of the obligations of the Issuers in respect of
the Debt (whether for principal, interest, premium or otherwise). If any amount
shall at any time be paid to an Issuer on account of such rights of contribution
or subrogation, or in contravention of the provisions of this Section 12.27(c)
at any time, such amount shall be held in trust, segregated from the other
assets of such Issuer, for the benefit of the Note Trustee and shall promptly be
paid to the Note Trustee. The foregoing shall constitute a continuing offer to,
and agreement with, all persons that from time to time may become holders of, or
continue to hold, obligations under this Indenture, and the provisions of the
foregoing sentence are made for the benefit of such holders and such holders, as
third party beneficiaries hereunder, are entitled to enforce such provisions.

                  Section 12.28. Joint and Several Obligations.

                  (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents, the obligations of the
Issuers hereunder shall be joint and several (as to the Mexican Issuers, their
obligations hereunder are considered to be Obligaciones Solidarios for purposes
of articles 1987 and 1988 of the Federal Civil Code of Mexico).

                  (b) Each Issuer's obligations hereunder shall remain
outstanding until all Debt has been paid in full.

                  (c) No payment or payments with respect to the obligations of
any Issuer hereunder made by any other Issuer or any other Person or received or
collected by the Note Trustee from such other Issuer or such other Person by
virtue of any action or proceeding or any setoff or appropriation or
application, at any time or from time to time, in reduction of or in payment of
the Debt or any release of security hereunder shall be deemed to modify, reduce,
release or otherwise affect the primary liability of such Issuer in respect
thereof.

                  (d) If any amount shall at any time be paid to an Issuer on
account of such rights of contribution or subrogation, in contravention of the
provisions of this Section 12.28 at any time, such amount shall be held in
trust, segregated from the other assets of such Issuer, for the benefit of the
Note Trustee and shall promptly be paid to the Note Trustee.

                  Section 12.29. Note Trustee's Rights. The rights of "Note
Trustee" under this Indenture with respect to any time shall mean the rights of
each and every Note Trustee at such time.

                  Section 12.30. Acts of Noteholders. (a) Any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by
this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and
evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by
such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as
herein otherwise expressly provided such action shall become effective when such
instrument or instruments are delivered to the Note Trustee, and, where it is
hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and
the action embodied herein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred
to as the "Act" of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof
of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent
shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section
15.1) conclusive in favor of the Note Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the
manner provided in this Section 12.30.

                  (b) The ownership of the Notes shall be proved by the
Register.

                  (c) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Notes shall bind the Holder
of every Note issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in
lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the
Note Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such
action is made upon such Note.

such servicer's fees and expenses for servicing, master servicing or
subservicing, including, without limitation, any fee or expense for any special
servicing Note Trustee reasonably deems to be required and any fees and expenses
of such servicer, including, without limitation, in connection with a release of
any Property, satisfaction of any Mortgage, assumption of the Notes,
modification of the Notes made at Issuers' request, any requests by Issuers for
waivers or consents, protective advances, and the enforcement of the Transaction
Documents. Issuers shall have the right to rely on any notices given by any
servicer with the same force and affect as if Note Trustee had given such
notices. In addition, in connection with a Securitization, Note Trustee reserves

Property, Issuers, Operating Lessees and Property Managers to the extent such
information is reasonably available to Issuers, Operating Lessees or Property
Managers, (ii) provide business plans (but not projections) and budgets relating

provided pursuant to this Section 14.1 together with all other information
heretofore provided to Note Trustee or the Noteholders in connection with the
Notes, as such may be updated, at Issuer's or Operating Lessee's request, in
connection with a Securitization, or hereafter provided to Note Trustee or the
Noteholders in connection with the Notes or a Securitization, being herein
collectively called the "Provided Information");

                  14.1.2 Updates to Opinions of Counsel. Shall use reasonable
efforts to cause to be rendered such customary updates or customary
modifications to the opinions of counsel delivered at the closing of the Notes
as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies
in connection with the Securitization (it being agreed that in no event shall
Issuer or Operating Lessee be obligated to deliver an opinion of counsel with
respect to "true sale", " or no fraudulent conveyance" matters). Issuers' or
Operating Lessees' failure to use reasonable efforts to deliver or cause to be
delivered the opinion updates or modifications required hereby within twenty
(20) Business Days after written request therefor shall constitute an "Event of
Default" hereunder.

                  14.1.3 Modifications to Transaction Documents. Execute such
amendments to the Mortgage and Transaction Documents as may be reasonably
requested by Note Trustee or the Noteholders or the Rating Agencies in order to

forth in this Indenture), provided, that nothing contained in this Section
14.1.3 shall result in any economic or other material adverse change in the
transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless Issuers and
Operating Lessees are made whole by the holder of Note) or result in any
operational changes that are unduly burdensome to the Properties, Issuers or
Operating Lessees.

                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
neither Issuer nor Operating Lessee shall be required to modify any Transaction
Document or organizational document in a manner which would increase Issuer's or
Operating Lessee's obligations or have adverse effect whatsoever on Issuers or
Operating Lessees (other than to a de-minimis extent).

                  14.4.1 Disclosure Documents. Each of Issuers and Operating
Lessees understands that certain of the Provided Information may be included in
disclosure documents in connection with the Securitization, including a
prospectus or private placement memorandum or a public registration statement
(each, a "Disclosure Document") and may also be included in filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act or the

Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the
Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to be
revised prior to the sale of all Securities, upon request, each of Issuers and
Operating Lessees will reasonably cooperate with the holder of the Note in
updating the Provided Information for inclusion or summary in the Disclosure
Document by providing all current information pertaining to Issuers, Operating
Lessees and the Properties necessary to keep the Disclosure Documents accurate
and complete in all material respects with respect to such matters.

         opportunity to examine and reasonably and promptly approve and (y)

         liability under clauses (a) and (b) above shall be limited to

                           (iv) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party
         under this Article XIV of notice of the commencement of any action,
         such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be
         made against the indemnifying party under this Article XIV, notify the
         indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the
         omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the
         indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may
         have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that
         failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying party. In the
         event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it
         notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the
         indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other
         indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it
         (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified
         party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such
         indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel
         reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from
         the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this Article XIV
         of its assumption of such defense, the indemnifying party shall not be
         liable for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such
         indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof; provided,
         however, if the defendants in any such action include both the
         indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party
         shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses
         available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different
         from or in conflict with those available to the indemnifying party, the
         indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate
         counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in
         the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or
         parties at the expense of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying
         party shall not be liable for the expenses of separate counsel unless
         an indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be
         legal defenses available to it that are different from or in conflict
         with those available to another indemnified party

                           (v) In order to provide for just and equitable
         contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity provided for in
         this Article XIV is for any reason held to be unenforceable by an
         indemnified party in respect of any actual, out-of-pocket losses,
         claims, damages or liabilities relating to third party claims (or
         action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be
         indemnifiable under this Article XIV, the indemnifying party shall
         contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a
         result of such actual, out of pocket losses, third party claims,
         damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof) (but excluding
         damages for loss profits, diminution in value of the Property and
         consequential damages); provided, however, that no person guilty of
         fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
         the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution for Liabilities
         arising therefrom from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
         misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which
         the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be
         considered: (i) the DBS Group's and Issuer's or Operating Lessee's
         relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with
         respect to which claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct
         and prevent any statement or omission; (iii) the limited
         responsibilities and obligations of Issuer and Operating Lessee as
         specified herein; and (iv) any other equitable considerations
         appropriate in the circumstances.

                                   ARTICLE XV

                                THE NOTE TRUSTEE

                  Section 15.1. Duties of the Note Trustee (a) If an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing of which a Responsible Officer of the
Note Trustee has actual knowledge, the Note Trustee shall exercise the rights
and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and
skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of such Person's own affairs.

                  (b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default of
which a Responsible Officer of the Note Trustee has actual knowledge:

                           (i) the Note Trustee undertakes to perform such
         duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
         Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into
         this Indenture against the Note Trustee; and

                           (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the
         Note Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements
         and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon
         certificates or opinions which are furnished to the Note Trustee and
         conform to the requirements of this Indenture; however, in the case of
         any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof are
         specifically required to be furnished to the Note Trustee, the Note
         Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine
         whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture;
         provided, however, that the Note Trustee shall not be responsible for
         the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement,
         opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the
         Issuers hereunder.

                  (c) The Note Trustee may not be relieved from liability for
its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful
misconduct, except that:

                           (i) this paragraph does not limit the effect of
         paragraph (d) of this Section 15.1;

                           (ii) the Note Trustee shall not be liable for any
         error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer unless it
         is proved that the Note Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the
         pertinent facts;

                           (iii) the Note Trustee shall not be liable with
         respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in
         accordance with a direction received by it;

                           (iv) no provision of this Indenture shall require the
         Note Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur
         financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder
         or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have
         reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate
         indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to
         it;

                           (v) anything in this Indenture to the contrary
         notwithstanding, in no event shall the Note Trustee be liable for
         special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind
         whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the
         Note Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage
         and regardless of the form of action; and

                                      172
<PAGE>

                           (vi) the right of the Note Trustee to perform any
         discretionary act enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed
         as a duty, and the Note Trustee shall not be answerable for other than
         its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such act.

                  (d) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates
to the Note Trustee acting in any of its capacities is subject to this Section
15.1.

                  (e) The Note Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any
money received by it except as the Note Trustee may agree in writing with the
Issuers.

                  (f) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every
provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability
of or affording protection to the Note Trustee shall be subject to the
provisions of this Section 15.1.

                  (g) The Note Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of
any Event of Default unless either (1) a Responsible Officer shall have actual
knowledge of such Event of Default or (2) written notice of such Event of
Default shall have been received by a Responsible Officer in accordance with the
provisions of this Indenture.

                  Section 15.2. Rights of Note Trustee. (a) The Note Trustee may
rely on any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or
presented by the proper Person. The Note Trustee need not investigate any fact
or matter stated in such document.

                  (b) Any request or direction of the Issuers mentioned herein
shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Issuer Order or an Issuer Request and any
resolution of a board of directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a resolution
of such board of directors.

                  (c) Before the Note Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it
may require an Authorized Officer Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel. The Note
Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good
faith in reliance on such Authorized Officer Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

                  (d) The Note Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through
delegates, agents or attorneys or a custodian or nominee, and the Note Trustee
shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of, or for
the supervision of, any such agent, attorney, custodian or nominee appointed
with due care by it hereunder.

                  (e) The Note Trustee shall not be liable for any action it
takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or
within its rights or powers.

                  (f) The Note Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice
or opinion of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete
authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken,
omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

                  (g) The Note Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise
any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or
direction of any of the Noteholders pursuant to this Indenture or to institute,
conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request,
order or direction of any of the Noteholders pursuant to this Indenture, unless
such Noteholders shall have offered to the Note Trustee reasonable security or
indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by
it in compliance with such request or direction;

                  (h) The Note Trustee shall not be bound to make any
investigation into the facts or matters stated in any document, but the Note
Trustee, in its direction, may make such further inquiry or investigation into
such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Note Trustee shall
determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to
examine the books, records and premises of the Issuers, personally or by an
agent or attorney; and

                  (i) The Note Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or
surety in respect of the execution of the trust created hereby or the powers
granted hereunder.

                  Section 15.3. Individual Rights of Note Trustee. The Note
Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or
pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuers or its Affiliates with
the same rights it would have had if it were not Note Trustee.

                  Section 15.4. Note Trustee's Disclaimer. The Note Trustee (i)
shall not be responsible for, and makes no representation, as to the validity or
adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes and (ii) shall not be accountable for
the Issuers' use of the proceeds from the Notes, or responsible for any
statement of the Issuers in this Indenture or in any document issued in
connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Note
Trustee's Certificate of Authentication.

                  Section 15.5. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is
continuing and if it is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Note
Trustee, the Note Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder and the Issuers with a
copy to the Rating Agency, notice of such Default within thirty (30) calendar
days after obtaining actual knowledge of such Default. Except in the case of a
Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Note, the Note Trustee may
withhold the notice, and be protected against liability in withholding such
notice, if, and so long as the Note Trustee in good faith determines that
withholding the notice is in the best interests of the Noteholders and shall so
advise the Issuers in writing. Where a notice of the occurrence of an Event of
Default has been given to the Noteholders pursuant to this Section 15.5 and the
Event of Default is thereafter cured, the Note Trustee shall give notice that
the Event of Default is no longer continuing to the Noteholders within thirty
(30) calendar days after a Responsible Officer of the Note Trustee obtains
actual knowledge that the Event of Default has been cured.

                  Section 15.6. Compensation and Indemnity. (a) On the Closing
Date and from time to time thereafter, the Issuers shall pay to the Note Trustee
any costs, fees and expenses of its counsel and a fee as agreed upon between the
Issuers and the Note Trustee in a letter agreement, dated as of the date hereof,
as compensation for its services as Note Trustee hereunder. The Note Trustee's
compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an
express trust. The Issuers shall reimburse the Note Trustee upon request for all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of
collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses
shall include, but will not be limited to, the reasonable compensation and
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Note Trustee's agents (including any
receiver), delegates, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuers shall
indemnify the Note Trustee against any and all loss, liability or expense
(including reasonable attorney's fees) incurred by it in connection with the
administration of this trust and the performance of its duties in its various
capacities hereunder including the costs and expenses of defending itself
against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of
any of its powers or duties hereunder. The Note Trustee shall notify the Issuers
and the Noteholders promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity.
Failure by the Note Trustee to so notify the Issuers shall not relieve the
Issuers of its obligations hereunder. The Issuers need not reimburse any expense
or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Note Trustee
through the Note Trustee's own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. To
the extent the Note Trustee renders services or incurs expenses after an Event
of Default specified in Section 10.1(a)(vii), the compensation for services and
expenses incurred by it are intended to constitute expenses of administration
under any applicable federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency or other
similar law now or hereafter in effect.

                  (b) The Issuers' payment obligations to the Note Trustee
pursuant to this Section 15.6 shall survive the resignation or removal of the

Trustee pursuant to this Section 15.7. The Note Trustee may resign at any time
by so notifying the Issuers upon not less than sixty (60) calendar days prior
written notice. The Holders of two-thirds of the Outstanding Principal Amount of
the Notes may remove the Note Trustee without cause by so notifying the Note

shall remove the Note Trustee promptly if:

                           (i) the Note Trustee fails to comply with Section
         15.10;

                           (ii) the Note Trustee is adjudged to be bankrupt or

                           (iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge
         of the Note Trustee or its property; or

                           (iv) the Note Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of
         acting.

If the Note Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office
of Note Trustee for any reason (the Note Trustee in such event being referred to
herein as the retiring Note Trustee), the Issuers shall promptly appoint a
successor Note Trustee.

                  (b) Any successor Note Trustee shall deliver a written
acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Note Trustee and to the Issuers.
Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Note Trustee shall become
effective, and the successor Note Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and
duties of the Note Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Note Trustee
shall mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders. If the retiring Note
Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Note Trustee, the Issuers or the
Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Note Trustee. If the Note Trustee fails to comply with Section 15.10, any
Noteholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of
the Note Trustee and the appointment of a successor Note Trustee.

                  (c) Notwithstanding the replacement of the Note Trustee
pursuant to this Section 15.7, the Issuers' obligations under Section 15.6 shall
continue for the benefit of the retiring Note Trustee.

                  Section 15.8. Successor Note Trustee by Merger. (a) If the
Note Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or
substantially all of its corporate trust business or assets to, another
corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee
corporation or banking association without any further act shall be the
successor Note Trustee; provided, however, that such corporation or banking
association shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under Section 15.9 and
Section 15.10. The Note Trustee shall provide the Rating Agency with written
notice of any such transaction.

                  (b) In case at the time such successor or successors by
merger, conversion or consolidation to the Note Trustee shall succeed to the
trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated
but not delivered, any such successor to the Note Trustee may adopt the
Certificate of Authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes
so authenticated, and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been
authenticated, any successor to the Note Trustee may authenticate such Notes
either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor
to the Note Trustee. In all such cases such certificates shall have the full
force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the
certificate of the Note Trustee shall have.

                  Section 15.9. Eligibility; Disqualification. The Note Trustee
or its parent shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000
as set forth in its most recent published annual report and shall have a

                  Section 16.8. Determination of Voting Rights; Conduct and
Adjournment of Meetings.

                  (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture,

for any meeting of Noteholders in regard to proof of the holding of the Notes
and of the appointment of proxies and in regard to the appointment and duties of
inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of proxies, certificates and
other evidence of the right to vote, and such other matters concerning the
conduct of the meeting as it shall deem appropriate. Except as otherwise
permitted or required by any such regulations, the holding of Notes shall be
proved in the manner specified in Section 2.1.10 and the appointment of any
proxy shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 2.1.10 or by having the
signature of the person executing the proxy witnessed or guaranteed by any trust
company, bank or banker authorized by Section 2.1.10 to certify to the holding
of Notes. Such regulations may provide that written instruments appointing
proxies, regular on their face, may be presumed valid and genuine without the
proof specified in Section 2.1.10 or other proof.

                  (b) The Note Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing,
appoint a chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by
the Issuers or by Holders of Notes as provided in Section 16.5, in which case
the Issuers or the Holders of Notes calling the meeting, as the case may be,
shall in like manner appoint a chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent
secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Persons entitled to
vote at least a majority of the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes
represented at the meeting.

                  (c) At any meeting each Noteholder or proxy shall be entitled
to one vote for each $[1,000] of the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes
held or represented by him; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or
counted at any meeting in respect of any Note challenged as not Outstanding and
ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not Outstanding. The chairman of the
meeting shall have no right to vote, except as a Noteholder or of a proxy.

                  (d) Any meeting of Noteholders duly called pursuant to Section
16.5 at which a quorum is present may be adjourned from time to time by Persons
entitled to vote at least a majority of the Outstanding Principal Amount of the
Notes represented at the meeting; and the meeting may be held as so adjourned
without further notice.

                  Section 16.9. Counting Votes and Recording Action of Meetings.

                  The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of
Noteholders shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the
signatures of the Noteholders or their representatives by proxy and the
principal amounts and serial numbers of the Notes held or represented by them.
The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who
shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who
shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written
reports in duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record, at least in
duplicate, of the proceedings of each meeting of Noteholders shall be prepared
by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the
original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat
and affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the facts setting
forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was given
as provided in Section 16.5 and, if applicable, Section 16.7. Each copy shall be
signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of
the meeting and one such copy shall be delivered to the Issuers, and another to
the Note Trustee to be preserved by the Note Trustee, the latter to have
attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting. Any record so signed and
verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated.

         hereunder by more than one trustee, pursuant to the requirements of

Order, also may, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of
the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes affected thereby, by Act of such
Holders evidenced by a resolution adopted at a meeting of the Noteholders
delivered to the Issuers and the Note Trustee, enter into an indenture or
indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture
or modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this
Indenture; provided that (i) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been
satisfied with respect to such action and (ii) no such supplemental indenture
shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected
thereby:

                           (i) change the Maturity Date or any Payment Date, or
         reduce the Outstanding Principal Amount thereof, the interest rate
         thereon (or manner of calculation of the interest rate) or change any
         time or place of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any
         principal of or interest on any Note is payable, or impair the right to
         institute suit for the enforcement of the provisions of this Indenture
         requiring the application of funds available therefor, as provided in
         Article X, to the payment of any such amount due on the Notes on or
         after the respective due dates thereof;

                           (ii) reduce the percentage of the Outstanding
         Principal Amount of the Notes the consent of the respective Noteholders
         of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the
         consent of the respective Noteholders of which is required for any
         waiver of future compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture
         or certain past defaults hereunder and their consequences provided for
         in this Indenture;

         provide that certain additional provisions of this Indenture or the
         other Transaction Documents cannot be modified or waived without the
         consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby;

                           (iv) modify any of the provisions of this Indenture
         in such manner as to affect the calculation of the amount of any
         payment of interest or the Note Repayment Amount, as applicable, due on
         any Note on any Payment Date or Maturity Date (including the
         calculation of any of the individual components of such calculation) or
         to affect the rights of the Holders of the Notes to the benefit of any
         provisions for the mandatory redemption of the Notes contained herein;
         or

                           (v) change the dates upon which optional redemption
         of the Notes are permitted.

                  It shall not be necessary for any Act of the Noteholders under
this Section 17.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental
indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance
thereof.

                  Promptly after the execution by the Issuers and the Note
Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 17.2, the Note
Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Notes to which such amendment or
supplemental indenture relates a notice setting forth in general terms the
substance of such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Note Trustee to
mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair
or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all
respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions
