                  (d) If, on any Restricted Payment Date the funds on deposit in
the applicable subaccount of the Equity Account are insufficient to make in full
any transfer required pursuant to clause SECOND of Section 4.6(a) and the
conditions to the payments of Component A of Basic Rent are satisfied pursuant

shall transfer into the applicable subaccount of the Subordinated Rent Account
the amount of such shortfall from funds then on deposit (in the following order
of priority) in the applicable subaccount of each of the Subordinated Reserve
Account or the Suspended Distributions Account, as available.

                  (e) The Reserve Requirement may be satisfied by Qualifying
Credit Support.

Sections 4.13 and 4.1(b) hereof, if the conditions to the payments of the
Component A Portion of the Basic Lease Rent are satisfied pursuant to Section
6.9 of the applicable Participation Agreement, on each Restricted Payment Date
under such Participation Agreement, after giving effect to all transfers to be
made on such date pursuant hereto, the Collateral Agent shall transfer to the
applicable Owner Lessor, from funds on deposit in the applicable subaccount of

         subaccount of the Recovery Event Proceeds Account; and

                  EIGHTH, solely with respect to amounts distributed pursuant to
         clauses FIRST through FOURTH of Section 4.13(b) above, up to an amount
         equal to such Owner Lessor's Percentage of the amount then on deposit
         therein, from the Revenue Account.

It is understood and agreed that no amount on deposit in any other subaccount of
any of the Accounts (nor, except as provided in clauses seventh and eighth
above, amounts on deposit in the Revenue Account or the applicable subaccount of
the Recovery Event Proceeds Account) shall be available for distributions to be
made pursuant to Section 4.13(b) with respect to such Facility Lease and the
applicable Operative Documents.

                  SECTION 4.14 COLLATERAL AGENT'S CALCULATIONS. In making the
determinations and allocations required by Section 4.13, the Collateral Agent
may rely upon information specified in any Request Letter and any certificate of
the


                                       19

applicable Owner Lessor delivered to it, as applicable, and the Collateral
Agent shall have no liability to any of the Secured Parties for actions taken in
reliance on such information. All transfers and releases made by the Collateral
Agent pursuant to Section 4.13 shall be (subject to any decree of any court of
competent jurisdiction) final, and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to
inquire as to the application by any Secured Party of any amounts distributed to
them.

                  SECTION 4.15 INSUFFICIENT AMOUNTS. Except as provided in
Sections 4.1(b) and 4.6(d) hereof, to the extent the applicable Owner Lessor
Percentage of the amounts on deposit in any Account (or, if the Account has
subaccounts, in the applicable subaccount) are insufficient to fully satisfy any
transfer requirement from such Account (or, if the Account has subaccounts, the
applicable subaccount) under this Article IV, such transfer shall be made to the
extent of the amounts on deposit in such Account (or, if the Account has
subaccounts, the applicable subaccount). In addition, if (i) any transfer
requirements from any Account (or, if the Account has subaccounts, the
applicable subaccount) in this Article IV share the same level of priority and
(ii) the funds equal to the applicable Owner Lessor Percentage of the funds in
such Account (or, if the Account has subaccounts, the funds in the applicable
subaccount) are insufficient to satisfy in full all such transfer requirements
which share such level of priority, such transfers shall be made on a pro rata
basis to the extent of the amounts on deposit in such Account (or, if the
Account has subaccounts, the funds in the applicable subaccount).


                                    ARTICLE V

                                   INVESTMENT

                  Cash held by the Collateral Agent in the Accounts shall not be
invested or reinvested except as provided below:

                  (a) cash held in the Accounts or applicable subaccounts shall
be invested and reinvested in Permitted Investments by the Collateral Agent who
shall make such Permitted Investments (i) except during a Default Period, at the
written direction of the Facility Lessee and (ii) during a Lease Default or
Lease Event of Default under a Facility Lease, in Permitted Investments selected
by the Collateral Agent unless specific investment instructions are given to the
Collateral Agent by the applicable Owner Lessor and in such case, to the extent
of amounts credited to applicable subaccounts;

                  (b) the Collateral Agent shall sell or liquidate all or any
designated part of the Permitted Investments held in any Account to the extent
credited to any subaccount at any time the proceeds thereof are required to make
a


                                       20
<Page>

release from any such subaccount or any transfer between subaccounts pursuant to
Article IV hereof; and

                  (c) all such Permitted Investments, the interest thereon, and
the net proceeds of the sale, liquidation or payment thereof, shall be held in
the appropriate Account and credited to the applicable subaccounts for the same
purposes as the cash used to purchase such Permitted Investments.

                  The Collateral Agent shall take such action as may be
necessary to perfect the security interest created by this Agreement in all
Permitted Investments held in any Pledged Account.


                                   ARTICLE VI

govern and control with respect to the rights, duties, liabilities and
immunities of the Collateral Agent:

                  (a) it shall not be responsible or liable in any manner
whatever for soliciting any funds or for the sufficiency, correctness,
genuineness or validity of any funds or securities deposited with or held by it;

                  (b) it shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting

<Page>

however, that no such modification or amendment hereof shall affect its duties

obligations of such Persons as freely as if it were not Collateral Agent
hereunder; and

                  (h) it shall not be obligated to take any action which in its
reasonable judgment would involve it in expense or liability unless it has been
furnished with reasonable indemnity.

                  SECTION 6.2 RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL. The Collateral Agent may
resign or be removed as set forth in Section 6.5 of the Amended and Restated
Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.


                                  ARTICLE VII

agreement of the disputing parties or by a final order, decree or judgment of a
Federal or State court of competent jurisdiction located in the State of New
York (with respect to disputes in connection with amounts on deposit in the
Accounts or subaccounts), and time for an appeal has expired and no appeal has
been perfected, but the Collateral Agent shall be under no duty whatsoever to
institute or defend any such proceedings.


                                  ARTICLE VIII

                  (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order to secure the
Lessor Notes of each Owner Lessor, such Owner Lessor will assign and grant a

distributable under this Agreement to the applicable Owner Lessor (other than in
respect of the Excepted Payments) and (ii) to exercise the rights of such Owner
