                                    SECTION 1

the Investor Basic Rent and all other amounts due with respect to the Investor

delivered by the Lessee shall be deemed an effective election by the Lessor of
the method for computing interest on the Loans under the Credit Agreement.

contemplated thereby to which it is or will be a party.

                (b) Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by

any provision of law, statute, rule or regulation, or of the certificate or
articles of incorporation or other constitutive documents or by-laws of the
Lessee or any Subsidiary, (B) any order of any Governmental Authority or (C) any
provision of any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Lessee or
any Subsidiary is a party or by which any of them or any of their property is or

                (c) Enforceability. This Agreement and each of the other
Operative Agreements to which the Lessee is a party has been duly executed and
delivered by the Lessee and constitutes, a legal, valid and binding obligation
of the Lessee enforceable against the Lessee in accordance with its terms,
subject, in each case, as to enforceability, bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization and other similar laws affecting enforcement of creditor rights
generally (insofar as any such law relates to the bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or similar event of the Lessee) and, as to the availability of
specific performance or other injunctive relief, subject to the discretionary
power of a court to deny such relief and to general equitable principles.

                (d) Governmental Approvals. No action, consent or approval of,
registration or filing with or any other action by any Governmental Authority is
or will be required by the Lessee in connection with the purchase, leasing or
financing of the Property (the "Transactions"), except such as have been made or
obtained and are in full force and effect.

                (e) Financial Statements. The consolidated balance sheet of the
Lessee and its Subsidiaries as at September 30, 1999, and the related
consolidated statements of income and cash flows of the Lessee and its
Subsidiaries for the fiscal year then ended, accompanied by an opinion of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent accountants, and the consolidated

the six months then ended, duly certified by the chief financial officer of the
Lessee, copies of which have been furnished to the Agent and the Lessor, fairly

of the operations of the Lessee and its Subsidiaries for the periods ended on
such dates, all in accordance with GAAP consistently applied. Since March 31,
2000, no event has occurred which could reasonably be anticipated to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

                (f) No Material Adverse Change. As of the Closing Date, there
has been no material adverse change in the business, assets, property or
condition, financial or otherwise, of the Lessee and its Subsidiaries since

                (g) Title to Properties; Possession Under Leases.

                        (i) Each of the Lessee and its Subsidiaries has good and
        marketable title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its material
        properties and assets, free and clear of Liens and other exceptions to
        title, other than with respect to the Property, Permitted Liens or
        Permitted Exceptions and with respect to other material properties and
        assets, Liens or other exceptions to title that could not reasonably be
        anticipated to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                        (ii) Each of the Lessee and its Subsidiaries has
        complied with all obligations under all leases to which it is a party
        and all such leases are in full force and effect. Each of the Lessee and
        its Subsidiaries enjoys peaceful and undisturbed possession under all
        such leases.

                (h) Litigation, Compliance with Laws.

                        (i) There are not any actions, suits or proceedings at
        law or in equity or by or before any Governmental Authority now pending
        or, to the best knowledge of Lessee, threatened against the Lessee or
        any Subsidiary or any business, property or rights of any such person
        (i) which involve any Operative Agreements or the Transactions or (ii)
        which could reasonably be anticipated to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                        (ii) Neither the Lessee nor any of its Subsidiaries is
        in violation of any law, rule or regulation, or in default with respect
        to any judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental
        Authority, where such violation or default could reasonably be
        anticipated to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

                (i) Agreements.

                        (i) Neither the Lessee nor any of its Subsidiaries is a
        party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any corporate or
        other restriction that has resulted or could reasonably be anticipated
        to result in a Material Adverse Effect.



                                       17
<PAGE>   23

                        (ii) Neither the Lessee nor any of its Subsidiaries is
        in default in any manner under any provision of any indenture or other
        agreement or instrument evidencing Indebtedness, or any other material
        agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of
        its properties or assets are or may be bound, where such default could
        reasonably be anticipated to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

                (j) Federal Reserve Regulations. Neither the Lessee nor any of
its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities,
in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying
Margin Stock.

                (k) Investment Company Act; Public Utility Holding Company Act.
Neither the Lessee nor any of its Subsidiaries is (i) an "investment company" as
defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940
or (ii) a "holding company" as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the
Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935.

                (l) Tax Returns. Each of the Lessee and its Subsidiaries has
filed or caused to be filed all Federal, state, local and foreign tax returns
required to have been filed by it and has paid or caused to be paid all taxes
shown to be due and payable on such returns or on any assessments received by
it, except taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and for which the Lessee or such Subsidiary shall have set aside on
its books adequate reserves.

                (m) No Material Misstatements. No information, report, financial
statement, exhibit or schedule furnished by or on behalf of the Lessee to the
Agent, any Participant or the Lessor in connection with the negotiation of any
Operative Agreement or included therein or delivered pursuant thereto (including
any information provided by Lessee to third parties in connection with the
issuance of any Environmental Audit, title reports, surveys or appraisals of the
Property) contained, contains or will contain any misstatement of a material
fact or omitted, omits or will omit to state any material fact necessary to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were,
are or will be made, not misleading; provided that with respect to any
Environmental Audit, title reports, recorded documents, appraisals or surveys
prepared or issued by third parties with respect to the Property, such
representation is limited to the best of Lessee's knowledge.

                (n) Employee Benefit Plans. Each of the Lessee and its ERISA
Affiliates is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable
provisions of ERISA and the regulations and published interpretations
thereunder. No Reportable Event has occurred as to which the Lessee or any ERISA
Affiliate was required to file a report with the PBGC, and the present value of
all benefit liabilities under each Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund
such Plan) did not, as of the last annual valuation date applicable thereto,
exceed by more than $1,000,000 the value of the assets of such Plan. Neither the
Lessee nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any Withdrawal Liability which
remains unpaid and that could reasonably be anticipated to have a Material
Adverse Effect. Neither the Lessee nor any ERISA Affiliate has received any
notification that any Multiemployer Plan is in reorganization or has been
terminated within the meaning of Title IV of ERISA, and to the best knowledge of
the Lessee no Multiemployer Plan is reasonably expected to be in reorganization
or to be terminated, where such reorganization or



                                       18
<PAGE>   24

termination has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result, through
increases in the contributions required to be made to such Plan or otherwise, in
a Material Adverse Effect.

                (o) Environmental Matters. To the best knowledge of Lessee: (i)
the Property is free of material contamination from any Release of Hazardous
Substances; (ii) neither the Lessee nor any of its Subsidiaries has any material
contingent liability related to noncompliance with any Environmental Laws, or
related to any Release or threatened Release of a Hazardous Substance or the
generation, use, storage or disposal of Hazardous Substances associated with the
Property; (iii) the Lessee and each Subsidiary is conducting its respective
business in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws and neither the
Lessee nor any of its Subsidiaries has received notice of any failure to so
comply; (iv) the Lessee's and its Subsidiaries' facilities do not manage any
hazardous wastes, hazardous substances, hazardous materials, toxic substances,
toxic pollutants or substances similarly denominated, as those terms or similar
terms are used in the Environmental Laws, in violation of any such law or any
regulations promulgated pursuant thereto; (v) the Buildings and Improvements
were constructed and are being operated in compliance with all applicable
Environmental Laws; and (vi) Neither the Lessee nor any of its Subsidiaries has
caused or suffered to occur any Release with respect to any Hazardous Substance
at, under, above or upon any real property which it owns or leases or to which
it transported, disposed or arranged for disposal of Hazardous Substances that
would result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Lessee nor any of its
Subsidiaries is involved in operations which are reasonably likely to result in
the imposition of any material liability on the Lessee or any of its
Subsidiaries under any Environmental Law.

                (p) Insurance. The Lessee has obtained insurance coverage
covering the Property which meets the requirements of Section 14.1 of the Lease
and such coverage is in full force and effect.

                (q) Representations and Warranties; No Default. The
representations and warranties of the Lessee set forth in the Operative
Agreements are true and correct. The Lessee is in compliance with its respective
obligations under the Operative Agreements and there exists no Lease Default or
Lease Event of Default under any of the Operative Agreements. No Lease Default
or Lease Event of Default will occur under any of the Operative Agreements as a
result of, or after giving effect to, the Advance requested by the Requisition
on the Closing Date.

                (r) Nature of the Property. The Property consists of 15.7 acres
of Land located at 4000 and 4100 E. Third Avenue, Foster City, California, and
two office buildings known as Bayside Towers located thereon.

                (s) Authorization by the Lessee. The execution and delivery of
each of the Lease Supplements, Consent to Assignment and each other Operative
Agreement delivered by the Lessee on the Closing Date and the performance of the
obligations of the Lessee under such Lease Supplements, Consent to Assignment
and other Operative Agreements have been duly authorized by all requisite
corporate action of the Lessee.

                (t) Execution and Delivery by the Lessee. Each of the Lease
Supplements, Consent to Assignment and each other Operative Agreement delivered
on Closing Date by the Lessee have been duly executed and delivered by the
Lessee.



                                       19
<PAGE>   25

                (u) Valid and Binding Obligations. Each of the Lease
Supplements, Consent to Assignment and each other Operative Agreement delivered
by the Lessee on the Closing Date is a legal, valid and binding obligation of
the Lessee, enforceable against the Lessee in accordance with its respective
terms, subject, in each case, as to enforceability, bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization and other similar laws affecting enforcement of creditor rights
generally (insofar as any such law relates to the bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or similar event of the Lessee) and, as to the availability of
specific performance or other injunctive relief, subject to the discretionary
power of a court to deny such relief and to general equitable principles.

                (v) Reserved.

                (w) Priority of Liens. (i) Upon proper recordation, the Deed of
Trust and the Assignment of Lease delivered on the Closing Date will constitute
a valid and perfected first lien on the Lessor's interest in the Property and
the Improvements located thereon, subject only to the Permitted Liens and the
Permitted Exceptions, and (ii) upon proper filing, the Lessor Financing
Statements will protect the Lessor's interest under the Lease to the extent the
Lease is a security agreement governed by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial
Code.

                (x) Flood Zone. No portion of the Property being acquired by the
Lessor on the Closing Date is located in an area identified as a special flood
hazard area by the Federal Emergency Management Agency requiring flood insurance
under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended.

                (y) Reserved.

                (z) Consents, etc. All consents, licenses and building permits
required by all Legal Requirements for occupancy and operation of the Property
have been or will be obtained and are or in full force and effect.

                (aa) Title to the Property. Upon the acquisition of the Property
on the Closing Date, the Lessor will have good and marketable fee title to the
Property, subject only to Permitted Exceptions.

                (bb) Conditions Precedent in Operative Agreements. All
conditions precedent contained in this Agreement and in the other Operative
Agreements to be satisfied by the Lessee relating to the acquisition of the
Property by the Lessor have been satisfied in full.

                (cc) Reserved.

                (dd) Property-Related Matters. The Property complies with all
material Legal Requirements (including all applicable zoning and land use laws
and Environmental Laws) and Insurance Requirements. The Improvements on the
Property do not encroach in any manner onto any adjoining land (except as
permitted by express written easements or variance) and such Improvements and
the use thereof by the Lessee and its agents, assignees, employees, invitees,
lessees, licensees and tenants do and will comply with all applicable Legal
Requirements (including all applicable Environmental Laws and building,
planning, zoning and fire codes) in



                                       20
<PAGE>   26

all material respects. There are no material defects to such Improvements
including, without limitation, the plumbing, heating, air conditioning and
electrical systems thereof and (ii) all water, sewer, electric, gas, telephone
and drainage facilities and all other utilities required to adequately service
such Improvements for their intended use are available pursuant to adequate
permits (including any that may be required under applicable Environmental
Laws). There is no action, suit or proceeding (including any proceeding in
condemnation or eminent domain or under any applicable Environmental Law)
pending or, to the best of Lessee's knowledge, threatened which materially and
adversely affects the title to, or the use, operation or value of, the Property.
No fire or other casualty with respect to the Property has occurred which fire
or casualty would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Lessee's ability to
perform its obligations under the Lease and the other Operative Agreements. All
utilities serving the Property are located in and vehicular access to the
Improvements on the Property is provided by, either public rights-of-way
abutting the Property or Appurtenant Rights. All applicable licenses, approvals,
authorizations, consents, permits (including, without limitation, building,
demolition and environmental permits, licenses, approvals, authorizations and
consents), easements and rights-of-way, including proof of dedication, required
for (i) the use, treatment, storage, transport, disposal or disposition of any
Hazardous Substance on, at, under or from the Property, and (ii) the use and
operation of the Improvements as permitted pursuant to the Lease have been
obtained from the appropriate Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction or
from private parties.

                (ee) Offering. Neither Lessee nor anyone acting on behalf of the
Lessee has directly or indirectly offered any interest in the Property, the
Trust Estate or the Notes for sale to, or solicited any offer to acquire any of
the same from, anyone other than the Investor, the Lenders, and other
institutions, each of which is believed capable of evaluating and bearing the
risks of investment in the transactions contemplated hereby.

                (ff) Tax Registration. The transactions contemplated hereby are
either (i) not required to be registered pursuant to Code Section 6111 and any
regulations promulgated thereunder or (ii) required to be registered pursuant to
Code Section 6111, and, if so required, Lessee will properly and timely register
such transaction in accordance with Code Section 6111 and any regulations
promulgated thereunder and will provide the correct registration number to
Lessor. No inference is to be drawn from this Section 7.3(ff) or Section 12.9
that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements (or any
provision thereof) are a confidential corporate tax shelter subject to
registration within the meaning of Code Section 6111 (and the regulations
thereunder), a "potentially abusive tax shelter" within the meaning of Code
Section 6112 (and the regulations thereunder) or a transaction requiring a
disclosure statement under Temporary Regulation Section 1.6011-4T or (ii) Lessee
or any other signatory to this Participation Agreement or any other Operative
Agreement is a promoter, organizer, manager, seller or investor in a corporate
tax shelter, as any of those terms are defined under Code Section 6111 or 6112
(and any other regulations thereunder). It is understood and agreed that the
representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Section 7.3(ff) are
for the purpose of Section 12.9 hereof.

        SECTION 9.1 COOPERATION WITH THE LESSEE. The Lessor, the Co-Owner
Trustee and the Agent shall, to the extent reasonably requested by the Lessee
(but without assuming additional liabilities on account thereof), at the
Lessee's expense, cooperate with the Lessee in connection with its covenants
contained herein or in any of the Operative Agreements, including, without
limitation, at any time and from time to time, upon the request of the Lessee,
to promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all such further instruments,
documents and financing statements (and continuation statements related thereto)
as the Lessee may reasonably request in order to perform such covenants. The
Lessor agrees that, to the extent it shall obtain actual knowledge of the
occurrence of a Credit Agreement Default caused by the Lessor or any of its
Affiliates, it shall promptly notify the Lessee describing the same in
reasonable detail. The Agent agrees that, to the extent it shall obtain actual
knowledge of the occurrence of a Lease Default or a Credit Agreement Default it
shall promptly notify the Lessee describing the same in reasonable detail.

        SECTION 9.2 COVENANTS OF THE LESSOR, THE CO-OWNER TRUSTEE AND THE
INVESTORS. Each of the Lessor, the Co-Owner Trustee and the Investors hereby
agrees as to itself that so long as this Agreement is in effect:

                (a) Discharge of Liens. Each of the Lessor, the Co-Owner Trustee
and the Investors will not create or permit to exist at any time, and will, at
its own cost and expense, promptly take such action as may be necessary duly to
discharge, or to cause to be discharged, all Lessor Liens on the Property
attributable to it or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that the Lessor,
the Co-Owner Trustee and the Investors shall not be required to so discharge any
such Lessor Lien while the same is being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings diligently prosecuted so long as such proceedings shall not involve
any material danger of impairment of the Liens of the Security Documents or of
the sale, forfeiture or loss of, and shall not interfere with the use or
disposition of, the Property or title thereto or any interest therein or the
payment of Rent.

                (b) Change of Chief Place of Business. The Lessor shall give
prompt notice to the Lessee, the Agent and the Participants if the Lessor's
chief place of business or chief executive office, or the office where the
records concerning the accounts or contract rights relating to the Property are
kept, shall cease to be located at 1100 North Market Street, Rodney Square
North, Wilmington, Delaware 19890-0001, or if it shall change its name. The
Co-Owner Trustee shall give prompt notice to the Lessee, the Agent and the
Participants if the Co-Owner Trustee's chief place of business or chief
executive office shall cease to be located at 100 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite
1230, Santa Monica, California, or if it shall change its name.

                (c) Loan Documents. The Owner Trustee, the Co-Owner Trustee, the
Agent, the Lenders and the Investors hereby agree that so long as the Lease is
in effect, they will not consent to or permit any amendment, supplement, waiver
or other modification of the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement, the
Notes or the other Security Documents, in each case if



                                       23
<PAGE>   29

such could reasonably be anticipated to have the effect of modifying the rights,
remedies or obligations of Lessee or could reasonably be anticipated to
otherwise adversely affect Lessee, in each case without the prior written
consent of Lessee, which Lessee may grant or withhold in its sole discretion.

        SECTION 9.3 AMENDMENT OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS. (a) The Agent, for itself
and on behalf of the Lenders, hereby agrees for the benefit of the Investors,
and the Lessor that it will not amend, alter or otherwise modify, or consent to
any amendment, alteration or modification of, the Lease (including the
definitions of any terms used in such document) without the prior written
consent of the Investors, and the Lessor as the case may be, if such amendment,
alteration or modification would materially and adversely affect the interests
of the Investors or the Lessor. Provisions requiring consent include, without
limitation, any amendment, alteration or modification that would release the
Lessee from any of its obligations in respect of the payment of Basic Rent,
Supplemental Rent, Termination Value, Maximum Residual Guarantee Amount or the
Purchase Option Price or any other payments in respect of the Property as set
forth in the Lease, or amend the provisions of Section 8 of the Credit
Agreement, or reduce the amount of, or change the time or manner of payment of,
obligations of the Lessee as set forth in the Lease, or create or impose any
obligation on the part of the Investors or the Lessor under the Lease, or extend
or shorten the duration of the Term, or modify the provisions of this Section
9.3.

        (b) Without prejudice to any right under the Trust Agreement of the
Owner Trustee to resign, or the Investors' rights under the Trust Agreement to
remove the Owner Trustee, each of the Investors, the Owner Trustee and the
Co-Owner Trustee hereby agrees with Lessee (so long as no Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing), the Lenders and the Agent (i) not to terminate
or revoke the trust created by the Trust Agreement, except as permitted by the
Trust Agreement, prior to the later of the Expiration Date or the payment in
full of the obligations under the Notes and Certificates, (ii) not to amend,
supplement, terminate or revoke or otherwise modify any provision of the Trust
Agreement prior to the Expiration Date (x) in such a manner as to adversely
affect the rights of any such party and (y) without the prior written consent of
the Lessee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided the
requirements of the preceding clause (x) are satisfied, in Lessee's judgment,
(iii) except as otherwise expressly authorized under the Operative Agreements,
not to withdraw from the Trust Estate any funds, other than amounts payable to
it as distributions of Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent without the prior
written consent of each party and (iv) to comply with all of the terms of the
Trust Agreement applicable to it, the performance of which would adversely
affect such party.

        SECTION 9.4 PROCEEDS OF CASUALTY OR CONDEMNATION. The Investor and the
Lessor agree, for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, that if at any time
either the Investor or the Lessor receives any proceeds as a result, directly or
indirectly, of any Casualty or Condemnation with respect to the Property which
the Lessor is entitled to retain and hold in accordance with the terms of the
Lease, they will promptly deposit such amounts in an account with the Agent. The
Investor and the Lessor also agree that they will execute and deliver such
documents and instruments as the Agent may request in order to grant the Agent,
for the benefit of the Lenders, a valid and perfected, first priority security
interest in such proceeds.

                (e) the Lessee shall have the right to cure, to the extent
susceptible to a cure, any Default or Event of Default of the Lessor under the

such right to cure any Default or Event of Default shall extend thirty (30) days
beyond the grace periods contained in the Credit Agreement;

                (f) the Lessee shall have the right to approve any successor
Agent pursuant to Section 7.9 of the Credit Agreement; and

                (g) without limiting the foregoing clauses (a) through (f), and

the Lessor shall not exercise any right under the Credit Agreement without
giving the Lessee at least ten (10) Business Days' prior written notice (or such
shorter period as may be required but in no case less than three (3) Business

                                       28
<PAGE>   34

                                   SECTION 11

                              TRANSFER OF INTEREST

        SECTION 11.1 ASSIGNMENTS. Each Participant may, without the consent of
the Lessee, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder
pursuant to an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit F (an
"Assignment and Acceptance") to one or more Persons, with respect to Loan
Commitments and Loans or Investor Commitments and Investor Contributions,
provided, that (x) each such assignment shall be of a constant, not varying,
percentage of all of the assigning Participant's rights and obligations under
the Operative Agreements and (y) either (A) such assignee has a minimum net
worth of not less than $100,000,000 or (B) in the absence of a Lease Event of
Default, such assignee is approved by the Lessee, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed (such assignee, an "Eligible Assignee"). In the
case of assignments made by a Lender, any such assignment shall be in a minimum
aggregate amount of $5,000,000 of its Loan Commitment (or the balance of such
Loan Commitment, if less) and the aggregate remaining Loan Commitment of the
assigning Lender shall, after giving effect to the proposed assignment, be at
least $5,000,000 or if less, zero. In the case of assignments made by an
Investor, any such assignment shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $500,000
of its Investor Commitment (or the balance of such Investor Commitment, if less)
and the aggregate remaining Investor Commitment of the assigning Investor shall,
after giving effect to the proposed assignment, be at least $500,000 or if less,
zero. Any assignment hereunder shall be effective upon delivery to the Agent and
the Lessor of written notice of the assignment together with a transfer fee of
$2,500 payable by the assignor Participant or the assignee Participant to the
Agent for its own account. The assigning Participant will give prompt notice to
the Lessee, the Agent and the Lessor of any such assignment. Upon the
effectiveness of any such assignment (and after notice to and consent of the
Lessee, the Agent and the Lessor, as provided herein), the assignee shall become
a "Lender" or "Investor", as the case may be, for all purposes of the Operative
Agreements and, to the extent of such assignment, the assigning Participant
shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder to the extent of the Loans or
Investor Contributions, as the case may be, and Commitment components being
assigned. The Agent and the Lessor agree that upon notice of any such assignment
and surrender of the appropriate Note or Notes they will promptly provide to the
assigning Lender and to the assignee separate promissory notes in the amount of
their respective interests substantially in the form of the original Note (but
with notation thereon that it is given in substitution for and replacement of
the original Note or any replacement notes thereof). The Lessee shall not be
responsible for any costs or expenses incurred by any Participant, and shall not
be required to incur or sustain any costs in connection with an assignment of
all or any of its rights and obligations in connection with an assignment
pursuant to this Section 11.1.

<PAGE>   35

        SECTION 11.2 PARTICIPATIONS. Each Participant may, without the consent
of the Lessee, sell, transfer, grant or assign participations in all or any part
of such Participant's interests and obligations hereunder and under the other
Operative Agreements; provided, that (i) such selling Participant shall remain a
"Lender" or "Investor", as the case may be, for all purposes under the Operative
Agreements (such selling Participant's obligations under the Operative
Agreements remaining unchanged) and the sub-participant shall not constitute a
Lender or a Investor, as the case may be, hereunder, (ii) no such
sub-participant shall have, or be granted, rights to approve any amendment or
waiver relating to the Operative Agreements except to the extent any such
amendment or waiver would (A) reduce the principal of or rate of interest or
Yield on or fees in respect of any Loans or Investor Contributions in which the
sub-participant is participating, (B) postpone the date fixed for any payment of
principal (including extension of the Expiration Date or the date of any
mandatory prepayment), interest, Yield or fees in which the sub-participant is
participating, or (C) release all or substantially all of the collateral or
guarantees (except as expressly provided in the Operative Agreements) supporting
any of the Loans or Investor Contributions or Commitments in which the
sub-participant is participating, and (iii) sub-sub-participations by the
sub-participant (except to an Affiliate, parent company or Affiliate of a parent
company of the Participant) shall be prohibited. In the case of any such
participation, the sub-participant shall not have any rights under the Operative
Agreements (the sub-participant's rights against the selling Participant in
respect of such participation to be those set forth in the participation
agreement with such Participant creating such participation) and all amounts
payable by the Lessee hereunder shall be determined as if such Participant had
not sold such participation; provided, however, that such sub-participant shall
be entitled to receive additional amounts under Sections 12.3 and 12.7 on the
same basis as if it were a Participant (but only to the extent that the
Participant would have been entitled to receive such additional amounts with
respect to the interest participated had it not sold such participation). The
Lessee shall not be responsible for any costs or expenses incurred by any
Participant in connection with a sale, transfer, grant or assignment of
participations pursuant to this Section 11.2.

        SECTION 11.3 DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION; PLEDGE UNDER REGULATION A.

                (a) Any Participant may, in connection with any assignment or
participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section
11, disclose to such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or
participant, any information relating to the Lessee or the Transactions,
provided, that prior to such disclosure such proposed assignee or participant
shall have agreed in writing to keep any such information confidential
substantially on the terms of Section 11.3(b).

                (b) The Agent and the Participants understand that some of the
information and documents furnished to them pursuant to the Operative Agreements
may be confidential and each of them agrees that it will keep all non-public
information, documents and agreements so furnished to it confidential and will
make no disclosure to other Persons of such information or agreements until it
shall have become public, except disclosure may be made (i) to the extent
required in connection with maters involving operations under or enforcement or
amendment of the Operative Agreements; (ii) to the Lenders' and the Investor's
examiners and auditors or in accordance with the Lenders' or Investor's
obligations under law or regulations or pursuant to subpoenas or other process
to make information available to governmental agencies and



                                       30
<PAGE>   36

examiners or to others; (iii) to any corporate affiliate of any Participant so
long as such affiliate agrees to accept such information or agreement subject to
the restrictions provided in this Section 11.3(b); (iv) to the Participant's
counsel and other professional advisors so long as such Persons are instructed
to keep such information confidential in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 11.3(b); (v) to proposed assignees and participants in accordance with
Section 11.3(a); and (vi) with the prior written consent of the Lessee.

                (c) Anything in this Section 11 to the contrary notwithstanding,
any Participant may without the consent of Lessee, the Agent or the Lessor
assign and pledge all or any portion of the Notes held by it to any Federal
Reserve Bank, the United States Treasury or to any other financial institution
as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board and
any operating circular issued by the Federal Reserve System and/or the Federal
Reserve Bank or otherwise; provided, any payment by Lessee for the benefit of
the assigning or pledging Participant shall be deemed to satisfy Lessee's
obligations with respect thereto.


                                   SECTION 12

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

        SECTION 12.1 GENERAL INDEMNITY. The Lessee, whether or not any of the
transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, hereby assumes liability
for and agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person on
an After Tax Basis from and against any Claims which may be imposed on, incurred
by or asserted against an Indemnified Person (whether because of action or
omission of such Indemnified Person or otherwise, whether or not such
Indemnified Person shall also be indemnified as to any such Claim by any other
Person and whether or not such Claim arises or accrues prior to the Closing Date
or after the Expiration Date, in any way relating to or arising or alleged to
arise out of (i) the financing, refinancing, purchase, acceptance, rejection,
ownership, design, construction, delivery, acceptance, nondelivery, leasing,
subleasing, possession, use, operation, repair, maintenance, modification,
transportation, condition, operation, sale, return, repossession (whether by
summary proceedings or otherwise), or any other disposition of the Property or
any part thereof, (ii) any latent or other defects in any Property whether or
not discoverable by an Indemnified Person or the Lessee; (iii) a violation of
any Legal Requirement or Requirement of Law; (iv) the Operative Agreements, or
any transaction contemplated thereby; (v) any breach by the Lessee of any of its
representations or warranties under the Operative Agreements or failure by the
Lessee to perform or observe any covenant or agreement to be performed by it
under any of the Operative Agreements; (vi) personal injury, death or property
damage relating to the Property, including Claims based on strict liability in
tort; (vii) the existence of any Lien on or with respect to the Property, the
Improvements, the Equipment, any Basic Rent or Supplemental Rent, title thereto,
or any interest therein, including any Liens which arise out of the possession,
use, occupancy, construction, repair or rebuilding of the Property or by reason
of labor or materials furnished or claimed to have been furnished to the Lessee,
the Lessor or any of their contractors or agents or by reason of the financing
of the Property or any personality or equipment purchased or leased by the
Lessee or Improvements or Modifications constructed by the Lessee, except Lessor
Liens and Liens in



                                       31
<PAGE>   37

favor of the Agent or the Lessor; and (viii) the Transactions contemplated
hereby or by any other Operative Agreement, in respect of the application of
Parts 4 and 5 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and any prohibited transaction
described in Section 4975(c) of the Code; but in any event excluding (A) Claims
to the extent such Claims arise solely out of events occurring after the
expiration of the Term and after the Lessee's discharge of all its obligations
under the Lease and the other Operative Agreements, (B) as to any Indemnified
Person, any Claim to the extent resulting from the willful misconduct or gross
negligence of such Indemnified Person (as opposed to gross negligence or willful
misconduct imputed to such Indemnified Person), (C) Claims arising from the acts
or omissions of Lessor or any other occupant of the Property, or the agents,
employees, contractors or invitees of either of them, occurring after Lessee's
right to possession of the Property has been terminated and Lessee has
surrendered possession of the Property, (D) any claim resulting from Lessor
Liens, and (E) any Claim arising from a breach by such Indemnified Person under
this Agreement or any other Operative Agreements or any other agreement entered
into in connection herewith or therewith. The Lessee shall be entitled to
control, and shall assume full responsibility for the defense of, any Claim;
provided, however, that any Indemnified Person named in such Claim may retain
separate counsel reasonably acceptable to the Lessee at the expense of the
Lessee in the event of and to the extent of a conflict. The Lessee and each
Indemnified Person agree to give each other prompt written notice of any Claim
hereby indemnified against but the giving of any such notice by an Indemnified
Person shall not be a condition to the Lessee's obligations under this Section
12.1, except to the extent failure to give such notice materially prejudices
Lessee's rights hereunder. After an Indemnified Person has been fully
indemnified for a Claim pursuant to this Section 12.1, and so long as no Lease
Event of Default under the Lease shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Lessee shall be subrogated to any right of such Indemnified Person with respect
to such Claim. None of the Indemnified Persons shall settle a Claim without the
consent of the Lessee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the indemnity provided
by Lessee in favor of the Owner Trustee shall survive the termination of the
Trust and the resignation and removal of the Owner Trustee but only to the
extent reasonably required for the full performance of such indemnity.

        SECTION 12.2 ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNITY. Without limitation of the other
provisions of this Section 12, the Lessee hereby agrees to indemnify, hold
harmless and defend each Indemnified Person on an After Tax Basis from and
against any and all Claims (including, without limitation, third party Claims
for personal injury or real or personal property damage), losses (including, but
not limited to, to the extent the Lease Balance and all other Obligations have
not been fully paid, any loss of value of the Property, damages, liabilities,
fines, penalties, charges, and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in
connection therewith (including, but not limited to, reasonable consultants' and
attorneys' fees and expenses), including, but not limited to, all costs incurred
in connection with any investigation or monitoring of site conditions or any
clean-up, remedial removal or restoration work, arising in whole or in part, out
of:

                (a) the presence on or under the Property of any Hazardous
Substances, or any Release of any Hazardous Substances on, under, from or onto
the Property;

                (b) any activity, including, without limitation, construction,
carried on at the Property, and whether by the Lessee or any predecessor in
title or any employees, agents,



                                       32
<PAGE>   38

contractors or subcontractors of the Lessee or any predecessor in title, or any
other Persons (including such Indemnified Person), in connection with the
handling, treatment, removal, storage, decontamination, clean-up, transport or
disposal of any Hazardous Substances that at any time are located or present on
or under the Property;

                (c) loss of or damage to the Property or the environment
(including, without limitation, clean-up costs, response costs, remediation and
removal costs, cost of corrective action, costs of financial assurance, fines
and penalties and natural resource damages), or death or injury to any Person,
and all expenses associated with the protection of wildlife, aquatic species,
vegetation, flora and fauna, and any mitigative action required by or under
Environmental Laws, in each case arising from activities on or conditions with
respect to the Property;

                (d) any claim concerning lack of compliance with Environmental
Laws, or any act or omission causing an environmental condition that requires
remediation or would allow any Governmental Authority to record a Lien on the
land records, in each case arising from activities on or conditions with respect
to the Property;

                (e) any residual contamination on or under any parcel of Land,
or affecting any natural resources, and any contamination of any property or
natural resources arising in connection with the generation, use, handling,
storage, transport or disposal of any such Hazardous Substances from any parcel
of Land, and irrespective of whether any of such activities were or will be
undertaken accordance with all Requirements of Law.

provided, however, the Lessee shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnified
Person under this Section 12.2 for (1) Claims to the extent such Claims arise
solely out of events occurring after the expiration of the Term and after the
Lessee's discharge of all its obligations under the Lease and the other
Operative Agreements or (2) as to any Indemnified Person, any Claim to the
extent resulting from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such
Indemnified Person (as opposed to gross negligence or willful misconduct imputed
to such Indemnified Person). It is expressly understood and agreed that the
indemnity provided for herein shall survive the expiration or termination of,
and shall be separate and independent from, any remedy under the Lease or any
other Operative Agreement.

        SECTION 12.3 GENERAL IMPOSITIONS INDEMNITY.

                (a) Indemnification. The Lessee shall pay and assume liability
for, and does hereby agree to indemnify, protect and defend the Property and all
Indemnified Persons, and hold it and them harmless against, all Impositions on
an After Tax Basis.

                (b) Payments.

                        (i) Subject to the terms of Section 12.3(f), the Lessee
        shall pay or cause to be paid all Impositions directly to the taxing
        authorities where feasible and otherwise to the Indemnified Person, as
        appropriate, and the Lessee shall at its own expense, upon such
        Indemnified Person's reasonable request, furnish to such Indemnified
        Person copies of official receipts or other satisfactory proof
        evidencing such payment.



                                       33
<PAGE>   39

                        (ii) In the case of Impositions for which no contest is
        conducted pursuant to Section 12.3(f) and which the Lessee pays directly
        to the taxing authorities, the Lessee shall pay such Impositions before
        delinquency. In the case of Impositions for which the Lessee reimburses
        an Indemnified Person, the Lessee shall do so within twenty (20) days
        after receipt by the Lessee of demand by such Indemnified Person
        describing in reasonable detail the nature of the Imposition and the
        basis for the demand (including the computation of the amount payable),
        but in no event shall the Lessee be required to pay such reimbursement
        prior to thirty (30) days before the latest time permitted by the
        relevant taxing authority for timely payment. In the case of Impositions
        for which a contest is conducted pursuant to Section 12.3(f), the Lessee
        shall pay such Impositions or reimburse such Indemnified Person for such
        Impositions, to the extent not previously paid or reimbursed pursuant to
        subsection (a), thirty (30) days prior to the latest time permitted by
        the relevant taxing authority for timely payment after conclusion of all
        contests under Section 12.3(f).

                        (iii) Impositions imposed with respect to the Property
        for a billing period during which the Lease expires or terminates
        (unless a Renewal Term is to apply or the Lessee has exercised the
        Purchase Option or the Maturity Date Purchase Option with respect to the
        Property) shall be adjusted and prorated on a daily basis between the
        Lessee and the Lessor, whether or not such Imposition is imposed before
        or after such expiration or termination and each party shall pay or
        reimburse the other for each party's pro rata share thereof.

                        (iv) At the Lessee's request, the amount of any
        indemnification payment by the Lessee pursuant to subsection (a) shall
        be verified and certified by an independent public accounting firm
        mutually acceptable to the Lessee and the Indemnified Person. The fees
        and expenses of such independent public accounting firm shall be paid by
        the Lessee unless such verification shall result in an adjustment in the
        Lessee's favor of 10% or more of the payment as computed by the
        Indemnified Person, in which case such fee shall be paid by the
        Indemnified Person.

                (c) Reports and Returns. (i) The Lessee shall be responsible for
preparing and filing any real and personal property or ad valorem tax returns in
respect of the Property. In case any other report or tax return shall be
required to be made with respect to any obligations of the Lessee under or
arising out of subsection (a) and of which the Lessee has knowledge or should
have knowledge, the Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall notify the
relevant Indemnified Person of such requirement and (except if such Indemnified
Person notifies the Lessee that such Indemnified Person intends to file such
report or return) (A) to the extent required or permitted by and consistent with
Requirements of Law, make and file in its own name such return, statement or
report; and (B) in the case of any other such return, statement or report
required to be made in the name of such Indemnified Person, advise such
Indemnified Person of such fact and prepare such return, statement or report for
filing by such Indemnified Person or, where such return, statement or report
shall be required to reflect items in addition to any obligations of the Lessee
under or arising out of subsection (a), provide such Indemnified Person at the
Lessee's expense with information sufficient to permit such return, statement or
report to be properly made with respect to any obligations of the Lessee under
or arising out of subsection (a). Such



                                       34
<PAGE>   40

Indemnified Person shall, upon the Lessee's request and at the Lessee's expense,
provide any data maintained by such Indemnified Person (and not otherwise
available to or within the control of the Lessee) with respect to the Property
which the Lessee may reasonably require to prepare any required tax returns or
reports. Each Indemnified Person agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts
to send to the Lessee a copy of any written request or other notice that the
Indemnified Person receives with respect to any reports or returns required to
be filed with respect to the Property or the transactions contemplated by the
Operative Agreements, it being understood that no Indemnified Person shall have
any liability for failure to provide such copies.

                (d) Income Inclusions. If as a result of the payment or
reimbursement by the Lessee of any expenses of any Lessor or the payment of any
Transaction Expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated
by the Operative Agreements, any Lessor or any Lender or any of their respective
Affiliates shall suffer a net increase in any federal, state or local income tax
liability, the Lessee shall indemnify such Persons (without duplication of any
indemnification required by subsection (a)) on an After Tax Basis for the amount
of such increase. The calculation of any such net increase shall take into
account any current or future tax savings realized or reasonably expected to be
realized by such person in respect thereof, as well as any interest, penalties
and additions to tax payable by such Lessor, such Lender or such Affiliate, in
respect thereof.

                (e) Withholding Taxes. As between the Lessee on one hand, and
the Lessor or the Agent or any Participant on the other hand, the Lessee shall
be responsible for, and, subject to the provisions of Sections 12.3(g) and (h),
the Lessee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Lessor, the Agent and the
Participants (without duplication of any indemnification required by subsection
(a)) on an After Tax Basis against, any obligation for United States or foreign
withholding taxes imposed in respect of payments with respect to the Loans or
Investor Contributions or with respect to Rent payments under the Lease or
payments of the Termination Value or Purchase Option Price (and, if the Lessor,
the Agent or any Participant receives a demand for such payment from any taxing
authority, the Lessee shall discharge such demand on behalf of the Lessor, the
Agent or such Participant), but excluding from the foregoing any obligation of
the Lessee to indemnify with respect to withholding taxes with respect to taxes
and other impositions that are not included within the definition of
"Impositions" under the Operative Agreements.

                (f) Contests of Impositions.

                        (i) If a written claim is made against any Indemnified
        Person or if any proceeding shall be commenced against such Indemnified
        Person (including a written notice of such proceeding), for any
        Impositions, such Indemnified Person shall promptly (and in any event
        within thirty (30) days) notify the Lessee in writing (but failure to so
        timely notify shall not relieve Lessee of its obligations hereunder
        except to the extent that such failure shall have materially prejudiced
        the ability of Lessee to contest the claim or matter) and shall not take
        action with respect to such claim or proceeding without the consent of
        the Lessee for thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice by the
        Lessee; provided, however, that, in the case of any such claim or
        proceeding, if action shall be required by law or regulation to be taken
        prior to the end of such 30-day period, such



                                       35
<PAGE>   41

        Indemnified Person shall, in such notice to the Lessee, inform the
        Lessee of such shorter period, and no action shall be taken with respect
        to such claim or proceeding without the consent of the Lessee before two
        days before the end of such shorter period; provided, further, that the
        failure of such Indemnified Person to give the notices referred to in
        this sentence shall not diminish the Lessee's obligation hereunder
        except to the extent such failure precludes the Lessee from contesting
        all or part of such claim.

                        (ii) If, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such
        notice from the Indemnified Person (or such shorter period as the
        Indemnified Person has notified the Lessee is required by law or
        regulation for the Indemnified Person to commence such contest), the
        Lessee shall request in writing that such Indemnified Person contest
        such Imposition, the Indemnified Person shall, at the expense of the
        Lessee, in good faith conduct and control such contest (including,
        without limitation, by pursuit of appeals) relating to the validity,
        applicability or amount of such Impositions (provided, however, that (A)
        if such contest involves a tax other than a tax on net income and can be
        pursued independently from any other proceeding involving a tax
        liability of such Indemnified Person, the Indemnified Person, at the
        Lessee's request, shall allow the Lessee to conduct and control such
        contest and (B) in the case of any contest, the Indemnified Person may
        request the Lessee to conduct and control such contest) by, in the sole
        discretion of the Person conducting and controlling such contest, (1)
        resisting payment thereof, (2) not paying the same except under protest,
        if protest is necessary and proper or (3) if the payment be made, using
        reasonable efforts to obtain a refund thereof in appropriate
        administrative and judicial proceedings.

                        (iii) The party controlling any contest shall consult in
        good faith with the non-controlling party and shall keep the
        non-controlling party reasonably informed as to the conduct of such
        contest; provided, that all decisions ultimately shall be made in the
        sole discretion of the controlling party. The parties agree that an
        Indemnified Person may at any time decline to take further action with
        respect to the contest of any Imposition and may settle such contest if
        such Indemnified Person shall waive its rights to any indemnity from the
        Lessee that otherwise would be payable in respect of such claim and
        shall pay to the Lessee any amount previously paid or advanced by the
        Lessee pursuant to this Section 12.3 by way of indemnification or
        advance for the payment of an Imposition other than expenses of such
        contest.

                        (iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
        Section 12.3, an Indemnified Person shall not be required to take any
        action and the Lessee shall not be permitted to contest any Impositions
        in its own name or that of the Indemnified Person unless (A) the Lessee
        shall have agreed to pay in writing and shall pay to such Indemnified
        Person on demand and on an After Tax Basis all reasonable costs, losses
        and expenses that such Indemnified Person actually incurs in connection
        with contesting such Impositions, including, without limitation, all
        reasonable legal, accounting and investigatory fees and disbursements
        and the contested claim if ultimately required to be paid, (B) in the
        case of a claim that must be pursued in the name of an Indemnified
        Person (or an Affiliate thereof), the amount of the potential indemnity
        exceeds $50,000, (C) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably
        determined that the action to be taken



                                       36
<PAGE>   42

        will not result in any material danger of sale, forfeiture or loss of
        the Property or the Defeasance Deposit Collateral, or any part thereof
        or interest therein, will not interfere with the payment of Rent, and
        will not result in risk of criminal liability, (D) if such contest shall
        involve the payment of the Imposition prior to the contest, the Lessee
        shall provide to the Indemnified Person an interest-free advance in an
        amount equal to the Imposition that the Indemnified Person is required
        to pay (with no additional net after-tax cost to such Indemnified
        Person), (E) the Lessee shall have provided to such Indemnified Person
        an opinion of independent tax counsel selected by the Lessee and
        reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person stating that a
        reasonable basis exists to contest such claim (or, in the case of an
        appeal of an adverse determination, an opinion of such counsel to the
        effect that the position asserted in such appeal will more likely than
        not prevail) and (F) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
        continuing. In no event shall an Indemnified Person be required to
        appeal an adverse judicial determination to the United States Supreme
        Court. In addition, an Indemnified Person shall not be required to
        contest any claim in its name (or that of an Affiliate) if the subject
        matter thereof shall be of a continuing nature and shall have previously
        been decided adversely by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to
        the contest provisions of this Section 12.3, unless there shall have
        been a change in law (or interpretation thereof) and the Indemnified
        Person shall have received, at the Lessee's expense, an opinion of
        independent tax counsel selected by the Indemnified Person and
        reasonably acceptable to the Lessee stating that as a result of such
        change in law (or interpretation thereof), it is more likely than not
        that the Indemnified Person will prevail in such contest.

                (g) Documentation of Withholding Status. Each Participant (or
any successor thereto or Transferee thereof) that is organized under the laws of
a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America shall:

                        (i) on or before the date it becomes a party to any
        Operative Agreement, deliver to the Lessee any certificates, documents,
        or other evidence that shall be required by the Code or Treasury
        Regulations issued pursuant thereto to establish its exemption from
        United States Federal withholding requirements, including (A) two valid,
        duly completed, original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN
        or W-8ECI or successor applicable form properly and duly executed,
        certifying in each case that such party is entitled under Section 1442
        of the Code or any other applicable provisions thereof or under any
        applicable tax treaty or convention to receive payments pursuant to the
        Operative Agreements without deduction or withholding of any United
        States federal income taxes and is a foreign person thereby entitled to
        an exemption from United States backup withholding taxes, and any such
        additional form (or any successor form or forms required) upon the
        expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form; and

                        (ii) comply from time to time with all applicable United
        States laws and regulations with regard to such withholding tax
        exemption.

                (h) Limitation on Tax Indemnification. The Lessee shall not be
required to indemnify any Indemnified Person, or to pay any increased amounts to
any Indemnified Person or tax authority with respect to any Impositions pursuant
to this Section 12.3 to the extent that



                                       37
<PAGE>   43

(i) any obligation to withhold, deduct, or pay amounts with respect to Tax
existed on, or arose in connection with any event occurring prior to, the date
such Indemnified Person became a party to any Operative Agreement (and, in such
case, the Lessee may deduct and withhold such Tax from payments pursuant to the
Operative Agreements), or (ii) such Indemnified Person fails to comply with the
provisions of Section 12.3(g) (and, in such case, the Lessee may deduct and
withhold all Taxes required by law as a result of such noncompliance from
payments made by the Lessee pursuant to the Operative Agreements). With respect
to any transferee of any Participant (including a transfer resulting from any
change in the designation of the lending office of a Participant), the
transferee shall not be entitled to any greater payment or indemnification under
this Section 12.3 than the transferor would have been entitled to.

                (i) Owner Trustee and Co-Owner Trustee. Notwithstanding any
provision of Section 12.3 to the contrary, the Owner Trustee and the Co-Owner
Trustee shall be indemnified by the Lessee at all times for any and all
Impositions other than Impositions on the fees and compensation of the Owner
Trustee or the Co-Owner Trustee in such capacity under the Trust Agreement.

        SECTION 12.4 EURODOLLAR RATE LENDING UNLAWFUL. Notwithstanding any other
provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or
in the interpretation or application thereof occurring after the Closing Date
shall make it unlawful for any Participant to make, continue or maintain
Eurodollar Loans or Eurodollar Investor Contributions as contemplated by the
Operative Agreements, (i) such Participant shall promptly give written notice of
such circumstances to the Lessee, the Lessor and the Agent (which notice shall
be withdrawn whenever such circumstances no longer exist), (ii) the commitment
of such Lender or Investor, as the case may be, hereunder to make, continue or
maintain Eurodollar Loans or Eurodollar Investor Contributions shall forthwith
be canceled and, until such time as it shall no longer be unlawful for such
Participant to make, continue or maintain Eurodollar Loans or Eurodollar
Investor Contributions, such Participant shall then have a commitment only to
make or maintain ABR Loans or ABR Investor Contributions when a Eurodollar Loan
or Eurodollar Investor Contribution is requested and (c) such Participant's
Loans and Investor Contributions then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans or
Eurodollar Investor Contributions, if any, shall be converted automatically to
ABR Loans or ABR Investor Contributions on the respective last days of the then
current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans and Investor Contributions
or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of
Eurodollar Loans or Eurodollar Investor Contributions occurs on a day which is
not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the
Lessee shall pay to such Participant such amounts, if any, as may be required
pursuant to Section 12.7. In any such case, interest and principal (if any)
shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Eurodollar Loans or
Eurodollar Investor Contributions of the other Participants.

        SECTION 12.5 DEPOSITS UNAVAILABLE. If any of the Participants shall have
determined that:

                        (i) Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the
        relevant Interest Period are not available to the Participant in its
        relevant market; or



                                       38
<PAGE>   44

                        (ii) by reason of circumstances affecting the
        Participant's relevant market, adequate means do not exist for
        ascertaining the interest rate or Yield, as the case may be, applicable
        to such Participant's Eurodollar Loans or Eurodollar Investor
        Contributions;

then, upon notice from such Participant to the Lessee, the Lessor, the Agent and
the other Participants, (x) the obligations of the Participants to make or
continue any Loans or Investor Contributions as, or to convert any Loans or
Investor Contributions into, Eurodollar Loans or Eurodollar Investor
Contributions shall be suspended, and (y) each outstanding Eurodollar Loan or
Eurodollar Investor Contribution shall automatically convert into an ABR Loan or
ABR Investor Contribution on the last day of the current Interest Period
applicable thereto.

        SECTION 12.6 INCREASED COSTS, ETC.

                (a) If the adoption of or any change in a Requirement of Law or
in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority
charged with administration thereof applicable to any Participant, or compliance
by any Participant with any request or directive (whether or not having the
force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, in each
case made subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if later, the date on which such
Participant becomes a Participant):

                        (i) shall subject such Participant to any tax of any
        kind whatsoever with respect to any Eurodollar Loans or Eurodollar
        Investor Contributions made, continued or maintained by it or its
        obligation to make, continue or maintain Eurodollar Loans or Eurodollar
        Investor Contributions, or change the basis of taxation of payments to
        such Participant in respect thereof; or

                        (ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any
        reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against
        assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of,
        Loans and Investor Contributions, loans or other extensions of credit
        by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Participant
        which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Adjusted
        Eurodollar Rate hereunder; or

                        (iii) shall impose on such Participant any other
        condition (excluding any Tax of any kind) whatsoever in connection with
        the Operative Agreements, but excluding therefrom (A) any Impositions
        imposed on the income or receipts of any of the Participants or (B) any
        tax, assessment or other charge that would not have been imposed but for
        the failure of such Participant to comply with a Legal Requirement;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such
Participant, by an amount which such Participant reasonably deems to be
material, of making, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or Eurodollar
Investor Contributions or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect
thereof, then, in any such case, upon notice to the Lessee and the Lessor from
such Participant, through the Agent and/or the Lessor, in accordance herewith,
the Lessee shall pay such Participant any additional amounts necessary to
compensate such Participant on an After Tax Basis for such increased cost or
reduced amount receivable; provided, that, in any



                                       39
<PAGE>   45

such case, the Lessee may elect to convert the Eurodollar Loans or Eurodollar
Investor Contributions made by such Participant hereunder to ABR Loans or ABR
Investor Contributions by giving the Agent at least one Business Day's notice of
such election, in which case the Lessee shall promptly pay to such Participant,
upon demand, without duplication, such amounts, if any, as may be required
pursuant to Section 12.7. All payments required by this Section 12.6(a) shall be
made by the Lessee within 10 Business Days after demand by the affected
Participant. The Lessee shall not be obligated to reimburse any Participant for
any increased cost or reduced return incurred more than 120 days after the date
that such Participant receives actual notice of such increased cost or reduced
return unless such Participant gives notice thereof to the Lessor and the Lessee
in accordance with this Section 12.6 during such 120 day period. If any
Participant becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this
subsection, it shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Lessee, through the
Agent and/or the Lessor, certifying (x) that one of the events described in this
clause (a) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such
event, (y) as to the increased cost or reduced amount resulting from such event
and (z) as to the additional amount demanded by such Participant and a
reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof (including the method
by which such Participant allocated such amounts to the applicable Lessee or
lessees). Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to
this clause submitted by such Participant, through the Agent and/or the Lessor,
to the Lessee shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This
covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the
Loans and Investor Contributions and all other amounts payable hereunder.

                (b) Each Participant shall use its reasonable efforts to reduce
or eliminate any claim for compensation pursuant to this Section 12.6,
including, without limitation, a change in the office of such Participant at
which its obligations related to this Participation Agreement are maintained if
such change will avoid the need for or reduce the amount of, such compensation
and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Participant, be otherwise
disadvantageous to it. If any such claim for compensation shall not be
eliminated or waived, the Lessee shall have the right to replace the affected
Participant with a new financial institution that shall succeed to the rights of
such Participant under this Participation Agreement; provided, that such
Participant shall not be replaced hereunder until it has been paid in full such
claim and all other amounts owed to it hereunder.

        SECTION 12.7 FUNDING LOSSES. The Lessee agrees to indemnify each
Indemnified Person and to hold each Indemnified Person harmless on an After Tax
Basis from any loss or expense which such Indemnified Person may sustain or
incur (other than through such Person's own gross negligence or willful
misconduct) as a consequence of (a) default by the Lessee in making a borrowing
of or continuation of Loans or Investor Contributions which are Eurodollar Loans
or Eurodollar Investor Contributions after Lessee has given a notice requesting
the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the
Lessee in making any prepayment of a Loan or Investor Contribution which is a
Eurodollar Loan/Investor Contribution after the Lessee has given a notice
thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, or (c) the making
of a prepayment of Loans or Investor Contributions which are Eurodollar Loans or
Eurodollar Investor Contributions on a day which is not the last day of an
Interest Period with respect thereto. This covenant shall survive the
termination of this Participation



                                       40
<PAGE>   46

Agreement or any other Operative Agreement and the payment of the Loans,
Investor Contributions and all other amounts payable under the Operative
Agreements.

        SECTION 12.8 CAPITAL ADEQUACY.

                (a) If the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation
regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central
bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or compliance by any Participant with any request or directive
regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
authority, central bank or comparable agency, in each case made subsequent to
the Closing Date, has or will have the effect of reducing the rate of return on
any Participant's or its parent company's capital by an amount such Participant
reasonably deems to be material, as a consequence of its commitments or
obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Participant or its parent
company could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or
compliance (taking into consideration such Participant's or its parent company's
policies with respect to capital adequacy), then, upon notice from such
Participant, the Lessee shall pay to such Participant such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Participant and its parent company on an After
Tax Basis for such reduction (it being understood that such parent company shall
not be reimbursed to the extent its subsidiary Participant is reimbursed by the
Lessee in connection with the same or a similar law, rule, regulation, change,
request or directive applicable to such Participant). All payments required by
this Section 12.8 shall be made by the Lessee within 10 Business Days after
demand by the affected Participant. The Lessee shall not be obligated to
reimburse any Participant for any reduced return incurred more than 120 days
after the date that such Participant receives actual notice of such reduced
return unless such Participant gives notice thereof to the Lessee in accordance
with this Section 12.8 during such 120 day period. If any Participant becomes
entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall
provide prompt notice thereof to the Lessee, through the Agent and/or the
Lessor, certifying (x) that one of the events described in this clause (a) has
occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to
the increased cost or reduced amount resulting from such event and (z) as to the
additional amount demanded by such Participant and a reasonably detailed
explanation of the calculation thereof. Such a certificate as to any additional
amounts payable pursuant to this clause submitted by such Participant, through
the Agent and/or the Lessor, to the Lessee shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this
Participation Agreement and the other Operative Agreements and the payment of
the Loans, Investor Contributions and all other amounts payable hereunder and
thereunder.

                (b) Each Participant shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to reduce or eliminate any claim for compensation pursuant to this
Section 12.8, including, without limitation, a change in the office of such
Participant at which its obligations related to the Operative Agreements are
maintained if such change will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such
compensation and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Participant, be
otherwise disadvantageous to it. If any such claim for compensation shall not be
eliminated or waived, the Lessee shall have the right to replace the affected
Participant with a new financial institution that shall succeed to the rights of
such Participant under the Operative Agreements; provided,



                                       41
<PAGE>   47

however, that such Participant shall not be replaced hereunder until it has been
paid in full such claim and all other amounts owed to it hereunder.

        SECTION 12.9 SPECIAL TAX INDEMNITY.

                (a) Lessee shall pay and assume all liability for and does
hereby agree to indemnify each Indemnified Person and, in each case, their
accountants, lawyers, and other advisors (each, a "Tax Registration Indemnitee")
on an After Tax Basis for any tax, addition to tax, penalty or other cost as a
result of a breach, inaccuracy or incorrectness of the representation found in
Section 7.3(ff); provided, however, that this indemnity shall not apply to any
tax, additional tax, penalty or other cost arising from (i) the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of such Tax Registration Indemnitee; (ii) the inaccuracy
or incompleteness of any information provided by such Tax Registration
Indemnitee to Lessee to the extent such information is included in the
registration form or other related materials and to the extent such failure
results in the imposition of increased taxes, additions to tax, penalties or
other costs; or (iii) the activities of such Tax Registration Indemnitee
unrelated to the transactions contemplated herein that result in the
transactions contemplated herein being deemed to be a confidential corporate tax
shelter if the transactions contemplated herein would not otherwise have been
deemed to be a confidential corporate tax shelter.

                (b) If a written claim is made or any proceeding is commenced by
the Internal Revenue Service against any Tax Registration Indemnitee for any
amount as to which Lessee has an indemnity obligation pursuant to this Section
12.9, such Tax Registration Indemnitee agrees to notify the Lessee promptly in
writing of such proposed claim or proceeding, but the failure to provide such
notice shall not release Lessee from its indemnity obligation hereunder except
to the extent that it is materially adversely affected thereby. Lessee shall be
entitled, at its expense, to require that any amount for which it may be
obligated to indemnify a Tax Registration Indemnitee pursuant to this Section
12.9 be contested and to withhold payment during pendency of such contest (if
such forbearance is permitted by law), provided that Lessee will pay any cost,
expense, interest or penalty associated with such forbearance. A Tax
Registration Indemnitee shall have control over any contest commenced pursuant
to this Section 12.9(b) but Lessee shall have, upon request, the right to
participate (including its counsel) in all proceedings and such Tax Registration
Indemnitee shall keep Lessee informed as to all material developments in such
contest and afford Lessee an opportunity to discuss with such Tax Registration
Indemnitee Lessee's interests with respect to such contest.

                (c) Lessee and each Tax Registration Indemnitee agree to
cooperate with each other with respect to maintaining any required documentation
or other information in connection with the tax shelter registration provisions
of Code Section 6111, the investor list provisions of Code Section 6112 and the
disclosure statement provisions of Code Section 6011 (and any of the regulations
thereunder).

        SECTION 12.10 INDEMNITY PAYMENTS IN ADDITION TO LEASE OBLIGATIONS. The
Lessee acknowledges and agrees that the Lessee's obligations to make indemnity
payments under this Section 12 are separate from, in addition to, and do not
reduce the Lessee's obligations under the Lease, but such obligations to
indemnify shall not be deemed to be a guaranty by the Lessee of



                                       42
<PAGE>   48

repayment of the Investor Contributions or the Loans, except as provided in the
Operative Agreements.

        the Participant Balance of each such Lender bears to the aggregate
        Participant Balances of all Lenders; and

                fourth, to the Investors in an amount equal to the aggregate
        Investor Balance shall be distributed to the Investors for application
        to the Participant Balance of each Investor, pro rata among the
        Investors without priority of one over the other in the proportion that
        the Participant Balance of each such Investor bears to the aggregate
        Participant Balances of all Investors and, in the case where amounts so
        distributed shall be insufficient to pay in full as aforesaid, then pro
        rata among the Investors without priority of one over the other in the
        proportion that the Participant Balance of each such Investor bears to
        the aggregate Participant Balances of all Investors;

                fifth, the balance, if any, of such payment or amounts remaining
        thereafter shall be promptly distributed to, or as directed by, the
        Lessee.

connection with any Casualty or Condemnation during the continuance of a Lease
Event of Default shall be distributed by the Agent as follows:

                        (i) in the event that the Lessor (at the direction of
        the Investors) and the Agent elect to pay all or a portion of such
        amounts to the Lessee for the repair of damage caused by such Casualty
        or Condemnation, then such amounts shall be distributed to the Lessee,
        and

                        (ii) in the event that the Lessor (at the direction of
        the Investors) and the Agent elect to apply all or a portion of such
        amounts to the purchase price of the Property, then such amounts shall
        be distributed in accordance with clause (a).

        SECTION 13.7 OTHER PAYMENTS.

                (a) Except as otherwise provided in Sections 13.1, 13.2, 13.6
and clause (b) below, any payment received by the Agent for which no provision
as to the application thereof is made in the Operative Agreements or elsewhere
in this Section 13 (including any balance remaining after the application in
full of amounts to satisfy any expressed provision) shall be distributed pro
rata among the Lenders and the Investors without priority of one over the other,
in the proportion that the Participant Balance of each bears to the aggregate of
all the Participant Balances.

                (b) Except as otherwise provided in Sections 13.1, 13.2 and
13.6, all payments received and amounts realized by the Agent or the Lessor

or realized at any time after the indefeasible payment in full of the
Participant Balances of all of the Lenders and the Investors and any other

forthwith by the Agent or the Lessor, as the case may be, in the order of
priority set forth in Section 13.6(a).

                (c) Except as otherwise provided in Sections 13.1 and 13.2, any
payment received by the Agent or the Lessor for which provisions as to the
application thereof is made in an Operative Agreement but not elsewhere in this
Section 13 shall be distributed forthwith by the Lessor or the Agent to the
Person and for the purpose for which such payment was made in accordance with
the terms of such Operative Agreement.

        SECTION 13.8 CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION AMOUNTS. Subject to Section
13.6(b), any amounts payable to the Agent as a result of a Casualty or
Condemnation pursuant to Section 15.1 of the Lease and the Assignment of Lease
shall be distributed as follows:

                (a) all amounts payable to the Lessee for the repair of damage
caused by such Casualty or Condemnation in accordance with Section 15.1 of the
Lease shall be distributed to the Lessee, and

                (b) all amounts that are to be applied to the purchase price of
the Property in accordance with Article XVI of the Lease shall be distributed by
the Agent to the Lenders and the Investors in the following order of priority:

                first, to the Lenders, pro rata, to pay the Participant Balance
        of each Lender; and

                second, to the Investors, pro rata, to pay the Participant
        Balance of each Investor.

        SECTION 13.9 ORDER OF APPLICATION. To the extent any payment made to any
Lender or any Investor pursuant to Sections 13.2, 13.3, 13.4, 13.6 or 13.7 is
insufficient to pay in full the Participant Balance of such Lender or Investor,
then each such payment shall first be applied to accrued interest or Yield and
then to principal on the Loans or the Investor Contributions, as applicable. All
payments of Basic Rent, Termination Value, Lease Balance, Participant Balance,
Purchase Option Price or Maximum Residual Guarantee Amount made to any Lender or
Investor under Sections 13.1, 13.2, 13.3, 13.4, 13.6 or 13.7 shall be made: (i)

to the Land Lenders, pro rata among the Land Lenders; (iii) if to the
Improvements Investors, pro rata among the Improvements Investors; and (iv) if
to the Land Investors, pro rata among the Land Investors; in each case based
upon the Participant Balance of each such Participant in respect of its Land
Loans, Improvements Loans, Land Investor Contributions or Improvements Investor
Contributions, as the case may be.


                                   SECTION 14

                                  OWNER TRUSTEE

        SECTION 14.1 RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL. The Owner Trustee may resign at
any time upon at least 30 days' prior notice to the Lessee and the Participants,
and may be removed for cause at any time by vote of the Required Investors and
notice to the retiring Owner Trustee, the Agent and the Lessee. In the event of
any such resignation or removal, the Required Investors shall as promptly as
practicable (but with five (5) Business Days' prior written notice being given
to the Lessee) appoint a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to this Section 14.1
and Section 9.1 of



                                       47
<PAGE>   53

the Trust Agreement, provided that such successor Owner Trustee shall be
approved by the Agent and, unless a Lease Event of Default is continuing, be
approved by the Lessee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) and, if the Lessee has not responded within such five (5) Business Day
period, the Lessee shall be deemed to have approved such new Owner Trustee. If
no successor Owner Trustee shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted
such appointment within 30 days after either the retiring Owner Trustee's giving
of notice of resignation or the Required Investors' vote to remove the retiring
Owner Trustee, then the retiring Owner Trustee may, on behalf of the Investors,
appoint a successor Owner Trustee, which shall be a commercial bank organized
under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof or under
the laws of another country that is doing business in the United States and
having a combined capital, surplus and undivided profits of at least
$100,000,000, or a wholly owned subsidiary of such bank. Upon its acceptance of
its appointment, such successor Owner Trustee shall thereupon succeed to and
become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring
Owner Trustee, and the retiring Owner Trustee shall be discharged from all
further duties and obligations as Owner Trustee under this Participation
Agreement and under the other Operative Agreements. After any retiring Owner
Trustee's resignation or removal hereunder as Owner Trustee, the provisions of
this Participation Agreement and of the other Operative Agreements shall
continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken
by it while it was the Owner Trustee under this Participation Agreement and the
Trust Agreement. No resignation or renewal of the Owner Trustee may become
effective until a successor Owner Trustee has been appointed as provided above.


                                   SECTION 15

                                    RENEWALS

        SECTION 15.1 EXTENSIONS OF MATURITY DATE AND EXPIRATION DATE;
REPLACEMENT OF PARTICIPANTS.

                (a) So long as the Lessee has not elected the remarketing
option, the Lessee may, not later than one (1) year prior to the Maturity Date,
direct a written request to the Lessor and the Agent that the Expiration Date
then in effect under the Lease be extended to the date occurring two years after
such Expiration Date and concurrently therewith request that the Agent and the
Lessor direct a written request to the Investors and the Lenders that the
applicable Maturity Date be extended to the same date (such additional two
years, a "Renewal Term"). Each Participant may grant or deny its consent to a
Renewal Term in its sole discretion by notifying the Agent and the Lessor in
writing (with copy to the Lessee); provided, however, any Participant that fails
to respond to such request for a Renewal Term within sixty (60) days after its
receipt thereof shall be deemed to have denied such request for a Renewal Term.

                (b) In connection with a written request of the Lessee for a
Renewal Term, upon the request of the Lessee, the Agent and the Investor shall
be permitted to replace any non-consenting Participant and any Participant that
fails to respond to the Agent's and the Investor's written request for a Renewal
Term within the time period specified in clause (a) above (each, a
"Non-Consenting Participant") with a replacement bank or other financial
institution (a



                                       48
<PAGE>   54

"Replacement Participant") satisfactory to the Lessee, the Investors and the
Lenders, with such replacement to be effective as of the Expiration Date and
Maturity Date in effect prior to the requested Renewal Term; provided, however,
that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii)
the Replacement Participant shall purchase from the Non-Consenting Participant
(A) at par, all Loans, in the case of a Lender, and all Investor Contributions,
in the case of a Investor, (B) all accrued interest, in the case of a Lender,
and all accrued Yield, in the case of a Investor, and (C) all other amounts
owing to such Non-Consenting Participant on or prior to the date of replacement,
in each case, (iii) the Lessee shall be liable to such Non-Consenting
Participant under Section 12.6 if any Loan or Investor Contribution, as the case
may be, owing to such Non-Consenting Participant shall be prepaid (or purchased)
other than on the last day of the Interest Period or Interest Periods relating
thereto, (iv) such replacement shall be made in accordance with the provisions
of Section 11 (provided that the Lessee or the relevant Replacement Participant
shall be obligated to pay the Transaction Expenses arising in connection
therewith), and (v) the Replacement Participant shall have agreed to be subject
to all of the terms and conditions of the applicable Operative Agreements
(including the extension of the Maturity Date contemplated by the relevant
request for a Renewal Term and the related extension). The Agent and the
Investor hereby agree to cooperate with the Lessee in its efforts to arrange one
or more Replacement Participants as contemplated by this Section 15.1(b).

                (c) Any Renewal Term and extension of the Maturity Date and the
Expiration Date as contemplated by Section 15.1(a) shall be effective only upon
the consent of all Participants after giving effect to the provisions of Section
15.1(b). Except as otherwise provided in this Section 15.1, all other terms of
the Operative Agreements shall remain unchanged and with the same force and
effect.

        SECTION 16.11 LIABILITY LIMITED

                (a) Except as expressly provided herein, the parties hereto
agree that this Agreement is executed by WTC not individually but solely as
Owner Trustee under the Trust Agreement, and by WT-FSB not individually but
solely as Co-Owner Trustee under the Trust Agreement, in the exercise of the
power and authority conferred and vested in each as such Owner Trustee and
Co-Owner Trustee respectively, that each and all of the representations,
undertakings and agreements by the Lessor herein are for the purpose and with
the intention of binding only the Trust Estate, and that in no case whatsoever
shall WTC, WT-FSB or any Investor be personally liable for any loss in respect
of such representations, undertakings and agreements, that actions to be taken
by the Lessor pursuant to its obligations hereunder may, in certain instances,
be taken by the Lessor only upon specific authority of the Investors, that
nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability on WTC or
WT-FSB, individually or personally, to perform any covenant, either express or
implied, herein, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived by the
parties hereto and by each and every Person now or hereafter claiming by,
through or under the parties hereto except with respect to the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of WTC or WT-FSB, and that so far as WTC or WT-FSB,
individually or personally is concerned, the parties hereto and any Person
claiming by, through or under the parties hereto shall look solely to the Trust
Estate for the performance by the Lessor of any of its obligations under this
Agreement and the other Operative Agreements; provided, that nothing in this
Section 16.11 shall be construed to limit in scope or substance those
representations and warranties of WTC or WT-FSB in its individual capacity set
forth in the Participation Agreement and the Trust Agreement. The term "Lessor"
as used in this Agreement shall include any trustee succeeding WTC as Owner
Trustee under the Trust Agreement or any co-owner trustee appointed as a
co-owner trustee under the Trust Agreement. Any obligation of the Lessor
hereunder may be performed by any Investor, and any such performance shall not
be construed as revocation of the trust created by the Trust Agreement. Nothing
contained in this Agreement shall restrict the operation of the provisions of
the Trust Agreement with respect to its revocation of the resignation or removal
of the Owner Trustee hereunder.

                (b) It is understood and agreed that, except as provided in the
preceding clause (a): (i) neither the Lessor nor any Investor shall have any
personal liability under any of the Operative Agreements as a result of acting
pursuant to and consistent with any of the Operative Agreements; (ii) all
obligations of the Lessor and each Investor to any Lender are solely nonrecourse
obligations; and (iii) all such personal liability of the Lessor or any Investor
is expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as consideration for,
the execution and delivery of the Operative Agreements by the Lessor or such

deposit reported as being in effect on such day (or, if such day shall not be a

information telephone line of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (which rate
will, under the current practices of the Board, be published in Federal Reserve
Statistical Release H.15(519) during the week following such day), or, if such
rate shall not be so reported on such day or such next preceding Business Day,

City negotiable certificate of deposit dealers of recognized national standing
selected by it. "Federal Funds Effective Rate" shall mean, for any day, the

Agent from three Federal funds brokers of recognized national standing selected
by it. If for any reason the Agent shall have determined that it is unable to
ascertain the Base CD Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate or both for any
reason, including the inability or failure of the Agent to obtain sufficient
quotations in accordance with the terms thereof, the Alternate Base Rate shall
be determined without regard to clauses (b) or (c) of the first sentence of this
definition, as appropriate, until the circumstances giving rise to such
inability no longer exist. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change
in the Prime Rate, the Three Month Secondary CD Rate or the Federal Funds

Prime Rate, the Three Month Secondary CD Rate or the Federal Funds Effective
Rate, respectively.
