hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby covenant and agree to be bound as follows:
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

definition in this Amendment (including, without limitation, in the           recitals
hereto) shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Loan

take any action inconsistent with such intention, it will promptly notify the
Administrative Agent thereof. If Borrower so notifies the Administrative Agent, Borrower
acknowledges that one or more of the Lenders may treat its Advances and/or its interest
in Swing Line Advances and/or Letters of Credit as part of a transaction that is subject
to Treasury Regulation Section 301.6112-1, and such Lender or Lenders, as applicable,
will maintain the lists and other records required by such Treasury Regulation.

               prior to April 1, 2003 and has a term which is not in excess of six months, and
               Contingent Obligations of the Guarantor with respect to such Indebtedness.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|
|

| | 4.       Section
11.14 (Confidentiality). Section 11.14 is amended           by adding the
following sentence at the end thereof:
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, confidential information shall not include, and the
Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose to any and all Persons, without
limitation of any kind, any information with respect to the tax treatment and
tax structure (in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.6011-4) of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind
(including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the Administrative Agent
or such Lender relating to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided that with
respect to any document or similar item that in either case contains information
concerning the tax treatment or tax structure of the transaction as well as other
information, this sentence shall only apply to such portions of the document or similar
item that relate to the tax treatment or tax structure of the Loans, Letters of Credit
and transactions contemplated hereby.

               (not to exceed two million dollars) as additional rent under the Ground
Lease.                Pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Construction Deed of Trust with
Assignment of                Rents and Fixture Filing made as of March 18, 1999 by and
between Borrower,                Equitable Deed Company and Agent (the Deed of Trust),

a party, or (ii) to                prejudice, release or affect any right or remedy that
Agent or Lenders may now                have or may in the future have under or in
connection with any Loan Documents or                any other document to which Borrower
and Agent or Lenders are a party other than                with respect to the matters
for which the consent has been provided.
