Development Costs on Closing Date. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Master Agreement, on the Closing Date for any Land, and any Building thereon,

<PAGE>   10

times the purchase price for such Land, and any Building thereon, and the
development, transaction and closing costs incurred by the Construction Agent,
as agent, through such Closing Date, which funds the Lessor shall use, together
with the Lessor's own funds in an amount equal to the product of the Lessor's

by the Construction Agent, as agent for the Lessor, through such Closing Date,
to purchase such Land, and any Building thereon, from the applicable Seller

         (b) Subsequent Fundings and Payments of Construction Costs during

Agreement, if a Building is to be constructed on Land, on each Funding Date
following the Closing Date for each such parcel of Land until the related
Construction Term Expiration Date, (i) each Lender shall make available, or
arrange to make available, to the Lessor a Loan in an amount equal to the
product of such Lender's Commitment Percentage times the amount of Funding
requested by the Construction Agent for such Funding Date, which funds the
Lessor hereby directs each Lender to pay over, or cause to be paid over, to the
Agent, for distribution to the Construction Agent, as agent for the Lessor, as
set forth in paragraph (d), and (ii) the Lessor shall pay over to the Agent,
for distribution to the Construction Agent, as agent for the Lessor, its own
funds (which shall constitute a part of, and an increase in, the Lessor's
Invested Amount with respect to such Leased Property) in an amount equal to the
product of the Lessor's Commitment Percentage times the amount of Funding
requested by the Construction Agent for such Funding Date.

         (c) Aggregate Limits on Funded Amounts. The aggregate amount that the
Funding Parties shall be committed to provide, or cause to be provided, as
Funded Amounts under this Master Agreement and the Loan Agreement shall not
exceed (x) with respect to each Leased Property the costs of purchase and
construction of such Leased Property and the related development, transaction,
closing and financing costs, or (y) $28,000,000 in the aggregate for all Leased
Properties. The aggregate amount that any Funding Party shall be committed to
fund, or cause to be funded, under this Master Agreement and the Loan Agreement
shall not exceed the lesser of (i) such Funding Party's Commitment and (ii)
such Funding Party's Commitment Percentage of the aggregate Fundings requested
under this Master Agreement.

         (d) Notice, Time and Place of Fundings. With respect to each Funding,
a Lessee or the Construction Agent, as the case may be, shall give the Lessor
and the Agent an irrevocable prior telephone (followed within one Business Day
with written) or written notice not later than 11:00 a.m., Atlanta, Georgia
time, at least three Business Days prior to the proposed Closing Date or other
Funding Date, as the case may be, pursuant, in each case, to a Funding Request
in the form of Exhibit A (a "Funding Request"), specifying the Closing Date or



                                       3
<PAGE>   11

subsequent Funding Date, as the case may be, the amount of Funding requested,
whether such Funding shall be a LIBOR Advance or a Base Rate Advance or a
combination thereof and the Rent Period(s) therefor. All documents and
instruments required to be delivered on such Closing Date pursuant to this
Master Agreement shall be delivered at the offices of Mayer, Brown & Platt, 190
South LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois 60603, or at such other location as may
be determined by the Lessor, the Construction Agent and the Agent. Each Funding
shall occur on a Business Day and shall be in an amount equal to $25,000 or an
integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, with the exception of the final
draw, which may be for such lesser amount as may be due and owing to fund the
balance of the construction. All remittances made by, or caused to be made by,
any Lender and the Lessor for any Funding shall be made in immediately
available funds by wire transfer to or, as is directed by, the Construction
Agent, with receipt by the Construction Agent not later than 12:00 noon,
Atlanta, Georgia time, on the applicable Funding Date, upon satisfaction or
waiver of the conditions precedent to such Funding set forth in Section 3; such
funds shall (1) in the case of the initial Funding on a Closing Date, be used
to pay the purchase price to the applicable Seller for the related Land and any
Building thereon and pay development, transaction and closing costs related to
such Land, and (2) in the case of each subsequent Funding be paid to the
Construction Agent, as agent for the Lessor, for the payment or reimbursement
of Construction costs incurred through such Funding Date and not previously
paid or reimbursed.

         (e) Lessee's Deemed Representation for Each Funding. Each Funding
Request by a Lessee or the Construction Agent shall be deemed a reaffirmation
of each Lessee's indemnity obligations in favor of the Indemnitees under the
Operative Documents and a representation and warranty to the Lessor, the Agent
and the Lenders that on the proposed Closing Date or Funding Date, as the case
may be, (i) the amount of Funding requested represents amounts owing in respect
of the purchase price of the related Land, and any Building thereon, and
development, transaction and closing costs in respect of the Leased Property
(in the case of the initial Funding on a Closing Date) or amounts that are then
due to third parties in respect of the Construction, or amounts paid by the
Construction Agent, as agent for the Lessor, to third parties or incurred by
the Construction Agent, as agent for the Lessor, as overhead expenses in
respect of the Construction for which the Construction Agent has not previously
been reimbursed by a Funding (in the case of any Funding), (ii) no Event of
Default or Potential Event of Default exists, and (iii) the representations and
warranties of the Guarantor, DAP SUB and each other Lessee set forth in Section
4.1 are true and correct in all material respects as though made on and as of
such Funding Date, except to the extent such representations or warranties
relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representations and
warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as
of such earlier date.

         (f) Not Joint Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
set forth herein or in the other Operative Documents, each Lender's and the
Lessor's commitments shall be several, and not joint. In no event shall any
Funding Party be obligated to fund, or cause to be funded, an amount in excess
of such Funding Party's Commitment Percentage of any Funding,




                                       4
<PAGE>   12

or to fund, or cause to be funded, amounts in the aggregate in excess of such
Funding Party's Commitment.

         (g) Non-Pro Rata Fundings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
set forth in this Master Agreement, but subject to Section 2.2(f) above, at the
Agent's option, Fundings may be made by drawing on the Lessor's Commitment
until such Commitment is fully funded before drawing on the Lenders'
Commitments. In such event, when the Lessor's Commitment is fully funded, the
Lenders will fund, or cause to be funded, on a pro rata basis as among
themselves, 100% of the amount of the Fundings thereafter, provided that, in no
event will the Lessor's Invested Amount be less than 3.5% of the aggregate
Funded Amounts.

         SECTION 2.3 Funded Amounts and Interest and Yield Thereon.

         (a) The Lessor's Invested Amount for any Leased Property outstanding
from time to time shall accrue yield ("Yield") at the Lessor Rate, computed
using the actual number of days elapsed and a 360 day year. If all or a portion
of the principal amount of or yield on the Lessor's Invested Amounts shall not
be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise), such overdue amount shall, without limiting the rights of the
Lessor under the Lease, to the maximum extent permitted by law, accrue yield at
the Overdue Rate, from the date of nonpayment until paid in full (both before
and after judgment).

         (b) Each Lender's Funded Amount for any Leased Property outstanding
from time to time shall accrue interest as provided in the Loan Agreement.

         (c) During the Construction Term, in lieu of the payment of accrued
interest, on each Payment Date, each Lender's Funded Amount in respect of a
Construction Land Interest shall automatically be increased by the amount of
interest accrued and unpaid on the related Loans pursuant to the Loan Agreement
during the Rent Period ending immediately prior to such Payment Date (except to
the extent that at any time such increase would cause such Lender's Funded
Amount to exceed such Lender's Commitment, in which event the related Lessee
shall pay such excess amount to such Lender in immediately available funds on
such Payment Date). Similarly, in lieu of the payment of accrued Yield, on each
Payment Date, the Lessor's Invested Amount in respect of a Construction Land
Interest shall automatically be increased by the amount of Yield accrued on the
Lessor's Invested Amount in respect of such Leased Property during the Rent
Period ending immediately prior to such Payment Date (except to the extent that
at any time such increase would cause the Lessor's Invested Amount to exceed
the Lessor's Commitment, in which event the related Lessee shall pay such
excess amount to the Lessor in immediately available funds on such Payment
Date). Such increases in Funded Amounts shall occur without any disbursement of
funds by the Funding Parties.

         (d) Three Business Days prior to the last day of each Rent Period, DAP
SUB shall deliver (which delivery may be by facsimile) to the Lessor and the
Agent a notice




                                       5
<PAGE>   13

substantially in the form of Exhibit I (each, a "Payment Date Notice"),
appropriately completed, specifying the allocation of the Funded Amounts
related to such Rent Period to LIBOR Advances and Base Rate Advances and the
Rent Periods therefor, provided that no such allocation to LIBOR Advances shall
be in an amount less than $1,000,000. Each such Payment Date Notice shall be
irrevocable. If no such notice is given, the Funded Amounts shall be allocated
to a LIBOR Advance with a Rent Period of three (3) months.

         SECTION 2.4 Lessee Owner for Tax Purposes. With respect to each Leased
Property, it is the intent of the Lessees and the Funding Parties that for
federal, state and local tax purposes and bankruptcy law purposes the Lease
shall be treated as the repayment and security provisions of a loan by the
Lessor to the Lessees, and that the related Lessee shall be treated as the
legal and beneficial owner entitled to any and all benefits of ownership of
such Leased Property and all payments of Basic Rent during the Lease Term shall
be treated as payments of interest and principal. Nevertheless, each of
Guarantor and each Lessee acknowledges and agrees that neither the Agent, nor
any Funding Party, nor any other Person has made any representations or
warranties concerning the tax, financial, accounting or legal characteristics
or treatment of the Operative Documents and that each of Guarantor and each
Lessee has obtained and relied solely upon the advice of its own tax,
accounting and legal advisors concerning the Operative Documents and the
accounting, tax, financial and legal consequences of the transactions
contemplated therein.

         SECTION 2.5 Amounts Due Under Lease. With respect to each Leased
Property, anything else herein or elsewhere to the contrary notwithstanding, it
is the intention of the Lessees and the Funding Parties that: (i) subject to
clauses (ii) and (iii) below, the amount and timing of Basic Rent due and
payable from time to time from the related Lessee under the Lease shall be
equal to the aggregate payments due and payable with respect to interest on the
Loans in respect of such Leased Property and Yield on the Lessor's Invested
Amounts in respect of such Leased Property on each Payment Date; (ii) if the
related Lessee elects the Purchase Option with respect to a Leased Property or
becomes obligated to purchase such Leased Property under the Lease, the Funded
Amounts in respect of such Leased Property, all interest and Yield thereon and
all other obligations of the related Lessee owing to the Funding Parties in
respect of such Leased Property shall be paid in full by such Lessee prior to
or simultaneously with the closing of the purchase which is the subject of such
Purchase Option, (iii) if the Lessees properly elect the Remarketing Option,
the Lessees will only be required to pay the Recourse Deficiency Amount and the
other amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 14.6 of the Lease, which
amounts shall be used to pay the principal of the A Loans, and the Lessees
shall only be required to pay to the Lenders the principal amount of the B
Loans and to the Lessor the Lessor's Invested Amounts, to the extent of the
proceeds of the sale of the Leased Properties in accordance with Section 14.6
of the Lease; and (iv) upon an Event of Default resulting in an acceleration of
the Lessees' obligation to purchase the Leased Properties under the Lease, the
amounts then due and payable by the Lessees under the Lease shall include all
amounts necessary to pay in full the Loans, and accrued interest thereon, the
Lessor's Invested Amounts and accrued Yield thereon




                                       6
<PAGE>   14

and all other obligations of the Lessees owing to the Funding Parties pursuant
to the Operative Documents.

         SECTION 2.6 Mississippi Bonds - Payment Acknowledgments. Pursuant to
(1) that certain Loan Agreement dated as of May 1, 2000 (as amended from time
to time, the "Bond Financing Loan Agreement") by and between the Mississippi
Business Finance Corporation ("MBFC") and AFG and assigned by MBFC to SunTrust
Bank, as Bond Trustee (in such capacity, the "Bond Trustee") under that certain
Trust Indenture dated as of May 1, 2000 (as amended from time to time, the
"Trust Indenture") by and between MBFC and SunTrust Bank, (2) that certain Bond
Purchase Contract, dated as of May 1, 2000 (as amended from time to time, the
"Bond Purchase Contract") among MBFC, AFG and SunTrust Bank and (3) that
certain Series 2000 Note issued in connection with the Mississippi Bonds (the
"Bond Financing Note") by AFG in favor of MBFC and assigned by MBFC to SunTrust
Bank, as Bond Trustee, (A) SunTrust Bank has agreed to purchase the Mississippi
Bonds from time to time and (B) AFG is obligated from time to time to make
certain principal and interest payments (the "Bond Financing Loan Payments") to
SunTrust Bank, as Bond Trustee, to fund the repayment of the Mississippi Bonds,
using funds paid to AFG pursuant to the Lease.

         The parties hereto agree that the funds advanced by SunTrust Bank
pursuant to the Bond Purchase Contract (i) will be deemed to be Loans pursuant
to the Loan Agreement for all purposes of the Operative Documents, (ii) will
satisfy the Lender's obligation to fund Advances pursuant to Section 2.2 to the
extent of such advanced funds and (iii) will accrue interest at the rate set
forth in the Loan Agreement. Such funds represent the same funds advanced to
AFG by MBFC through the Trust Indenture. Accordingly, SunTrust Bank, in its
capacity as Agent, Lender, Bond Trustee and owner of the Mississippi Bonds, and
the other parties hereto, agree that (1) all payments of interest made by or on
behalf of AFG to the Bond Trustee, and in turn paid by the Bond Trustee to the
owner of the Mississippi Bonds, shall also be treated and considered to be
payments of interest made by AFG to the Lender under the Loan Agreement and the
Notes and shall be credited against the interest payment obligations of AFG to
the Lender under the Loan Agreement and the Notes, and (2) all payments of
principal made by or on behalf of AFG to the Bond Trustee, and in turn paid by
the Bond Trustee to the owner of the Mississippi Bonds, shall also be treated
as and considered to be payments of principal made by AFG to the Lender under
the Loan Agreement and the Notes and shall be credited against the principal
payment obligations of AFG to the Lender under the Loan Agreement and the
Notes.

         SunTrust Bank agrees that (1) it will not assign any interest in the
Mississippi Bonds and the related rights under the Trust Indenture to any other
person unless (a) such assignment is permitted under the terms of the
Mississippi Bonds and the Trust Indenture and (b) it simultaneously assigns to
such person its corresponding interest in the Notes and the related rights
under the Loan Agreement, and (2) it will not assign any interest in the
Synthetic Lease Notes and the related rights under the Loan Agreement to any
other person unless (a) such assignment is permitted under the terms of the
Operative Documents and (b) it simultaneously




                                       7
<PAGE>   15

assigns to such person its corresponding interest in the Mississippi Bonds and
the related rights under the Trust Indenture.

direct or contingent, of DAP required to be shown in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles consistently applied throughout the period or
periods in question and fairly present in all material respects the
consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations of
DAP for the periods indicated therein. Except as described in Schedule 4.1(c),
there has been no change in the business, condition or operations, financial or
otherwise, of DAP since February 29, 2000 which is reasonably likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

         (d) Tax Returns. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.1(d), DAP has filed
all federal, state and other tax returns and reports which, to the best
knowledge of the Senior Management of DAP, are required to be filed, and has
paid all taxes as shown on said returns and all other taxes, assessments, fees
and other governmental charges upon DAP or upon any of the properties, assets,
incomes or franchises of DAP, to the extent that such taxes, assessments, fees
and other governmental charges have become due or except such as are being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings for which adequate reserves
have been established in accordance with GAAP and/or except where the unfiled
returns and unpaid Taxes relate to aggregate unpaid state or local Taxes no
greater than $500,000.00 in the aggregate.

         (e) Actions Pending; Compliance With Laws. Except as disclosed on
Schedule 4.1(e) hereto, there is no action, suit, investigation or proceeding
pending or, to the knowledge of DAP, threatened against or affecting DAP or any
of its properties or rights, by or before any court, arbitrator or
administrative or governmental body, which could reasonably be expected to
result in any Material Adverse Effect. Except as disclosed on Schedule 4.1(e)
hereto, DAP has not received notice of and is not otherwise aware that it is in
or alleged to be in violation of any Requirement of Law, except where failure
to comply would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

         (f) Representations; No Defaults. At the time of each Funding there
shall exist no Default or Event of Default.

         (g) Title to Properties; Capitalized Leases. Except for Liens
described in Section 5.13(h) and that portion of DAP's assets to which it does
not have marketable title (calculated at cost or market value, whichever is
higher), all of which may have an aggregate value up to $3,000,000.00, DAP has
(i) good and marketable fee simple title to its respective real properties
(other than real properties which it leases from others), including such real
properties reflected in the balance sheet of DAP described in Section 4.1(c)
above (other than real properties disposed of in the ordinary course of
business), subject to no Lien of any kind except Liens set forth on Schedule
5.13 or permitted by Section 5.13 and (ii) good title to all of its other
respective properties and assets (other




                                      19
<PAGE>   27

than properties and assets which it leases from others), including the other
properties and assets reflected in the balance sheet of DAP described in
Section 4.1(c) above (other than properties and assets disposed of in the
ordinary course of business), subject to no Lien of any kind except Liens set
forth on Schedule 5.13 or permitted by Section 5.13. DAP enjoys peaceful and
undisturbed possession under all leases necessary in any material respect for
the operation of its respective properties and assets, none of which contains
any unusual or burdensome provisions which might materially affect or impair
the operation of such properties and assets, and all such leases are valid and
subsisting and in full force and effect. As of the Initial Closing Date, there
are no Capitalized Lease Obligations except as disclosed on Schedule 4.1(g)
hereto.

         (h) Enforceability of Agreement. Each Operative Document to which any
Obligor is a party is the legal, valid and binding agreement of such Obligor
enforceable against such Obligor in accordance with its terms except as the
enforceability of the Operative Documents may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting creditor's
rights and remedies in general and by general principles of equity, whether
considered in a proceeding at law or in equity.

         (i) Consent. Except for consents of parties to any Incidental
Contracts, no consent, permission, authorization, order or license of or filing
with any governmental authority or Person which has not been obtained or made
is necessary in connection with the execution, delivery, performance or
enforcement of the Operative Documents by the Credit Parties, or in order to
constitute the obligations to be incurred under the Operative Documents as
"Senior Debt" or any similar term defined within any documents executed in
connection with any Subordinated Debt.

         (j) Use of Proceeds; Federal Reserve Regulations. The proceeds of the
Fundings will be used solely for the purposes specified in Section 2.2 and none
of such proceeds will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying any "margin security" or "margin stock" or for the
purpose of reducing or retiring any indebtedness that originally was incurred
to purchase or carry a "margin security" or "margin stock" or for any other
purpose that might constitute this transaction a "purpose credit" within the
meaning of the regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System.

         (k) ERISA.

         (1)      Identification of Certain Plans. Schedule 4.1(k) hereto sets
                  forth all Plans of DAP and its Subsidiaries in effect on the
                  Initial Closing Date (true and accurate copies of which,
                  together with the most recent IRS determination letter, the
                  most recent annual reports on form 5500, and summary plan
                  descriptions with

<PAGE>   28

                  respect thereto, if applicable, will be furnished to the
                  Agent promptly upon its request therefor).

         (2)      Compliance, Etc. (i) DAP and each of its ERISA Affiliates are
                  in compliance with ERISA and the Code in all material
                  respects and no Reportable Event has occurred and is
                  continuing with respect to any Plan; (ii) to the knowledge of
                  DAP or any ERISA Affiliate, no notice of intent to terminate
                  a Plan has been filed nor has any Plan been terminated, the
                  termination of which would result in liability to DAP or any
                  ERISA Affiliate that would have a Material Adverse Effect;
                  (iii) no circumstance exists which constitutes grounds under
                  Act Section 4042 of ERISA entitling the PBGC to institute
                  proceedings to terminate, or appoint a trustee to administer
                  a Plan, nor has the PBGC instituted any such proceedings;
                  (iv) neither DAP nor any ERISA Affiliate has completely or
                  partially withdrawn under Act Sections 4201 or 4204 of ERISA
                  from a Multiemployer Plan which withdrawal would result in
                  material liability to DAP or any ERISA Affiliate; (v) DAP and
                  each ERISA Affiliate has met its minimum funding requirements
                  under ERISA with respect to all of its Plans and there are no
                  unfunded vested liabilities except as set forth on Schedule
                  4.1(k); and (vi) neither DAP nor any ERISA Affiliate has
                  incurred any liability to the PBGC under ERISA which
                  liability has not been satisfied.

         (l) Subsidiaries. As of the date hereof, DAP has no Subsidiaries,
except as set forth on Schedule 4.1(1). All representations and warranties made
in this Section 4.1 shall also be true and correct as to any and all
Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries of DAP hereafter formed or acquired throughout the
term of this Master Agreement.

         (m) Outstanding Consolidated Funded Debt. Except as set forth on
Schedule 4.1(m), as of the Initial Closing Date and after giving effect to the
transactions contemplated by this Master Agreement, DAP has no outstanding
Consolidated Funded Debt and there exists no default; and, after giving effect
to the transactions contemplated in this Master Agreement, there will exist no
default under the provisions of any instrument evidencing such Consolidated
Funded Debt or of any agreement relating thereto except as noted on Schedule
4.1(m).

         (n) Conflicting Agreements; Dividend or Redemption Limitations. DAP is
not a party to any contract or agreement or subject to any charter, bylaw or
other corporate restriction which could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Assuming the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Master Agreement, neither the execution or delivery of
this Master Agreement or the Operative Documents, nor fulfillment of or
compliance with the terms and provisions hereof and thereof, will conflict
with, or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or
constitute a default under, or result in any violation of, or result in the
creation of any Lien upon any




                                      21
<PAGE>   29

of the properties or assets of any Obligor pursuant to, the charter or by-laws
of such Obligor, any award of any arbitrator or any agreement (including any
agreement with stockholders), instrument, order, judgment, decree, statute,
law, rule or regulation to which any Obligor is subject. As of the Initial
Closing Date, DAP is not a party to, or otherwise subject to any provision
contained in, any instrument evidencing Consolidated Funded Debt of DAP, any
agreement relating thereto or any other contract or agreement (including its
charter but excluding Incidental Contracts) which limits the amount of, or
otherwise imposes restrictions on the incurring of, obligations of the type to
be evidenced by the Operative Documents or contains dividend or redemption
limitations on Common Stock of DAP, except for this Master Agreement, DAP's
Articles of Incorporation and those matters listed on Schedule 4.1(n) attached
hereto.

         (o) Environmental Matters - General.

         (1)      Except as set forth on Schedule 4.1(o)(1), DAP has to its
                  knowledge complied in all material respects (except for
                  instances of noncompliance that have been resolved prior to
                  the Initial Closing Date to the satisfaction of the
                  applicable environmental regulatory agency) with all
                  applicable Environmental Laws, including without limitation,
                  compliance with permits, licenses, standards, schedules and
                  timetables issued pursuant to Environmental Laws, and is not
                  in violation of, and does not presently have outstanding any
                  liability under, has not been notified that it is or may be
                  liable under and does not have knowledge of any liability or
                  potential liability under any applicable Environmental Law,
                  including without limitation, the Resource Conservation and
                  Recovery Act of 1976, as amended ("RCRA"), the Comprehensive
                  Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of
                  1980, as amended by the Superfund Amendments and
                  Reauthorization Act of 1986 ("CERCLA"), the Federal Water
                  Pollution Control Act, as amended ("FWPCA"), the Federal
                  Clean Air Act, as amended ("FCAA"), and the Toxic Substance
                  Control Act ("TSCA"), which violation, liability or potential
                  liability could reasonably be expected to have a Material
                  Adverse Effect.

         (2)      Except as set forth on Schedule 4.1(o)(2), as of the Initial
                  Closing Date, DAP has not received a written request for
                  information under CERCLA or any analogous state law, or
                  written notice that any such entity has been identified as a
                  potential responsible party under CERCLA, or any analogous
                  state law, nor has any such entity received any written
                  notification that any Hazardous Substance that it or any of
                  its respective predecessors in interest has generated,
                  stored, treated, handled, transported, or disposed of, has
                  been released or is threatened to be released at any site at
                  which any Person intends to conduct or is conducting a
                  remedial investigation or other action pursuant to any
                  applicable Environmental Law, or any other Environmental
                  Laws.

         (3)      Except as set forth on Schedule 4.1(o)(3), DAP has obtained
                  all permits, licenses or other authorizations which are
                  material for the conduct of its operations under all
                  applicable Environmental Laws and with respect to which each
                  such authorization is in full force and effect except where
                  the failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse
                  Effect.

         (4)      Except as set forth in Schedule 4.1(o)(4), DAP complies in
                  all material respects with all laws and regulations relating
                  to equal employment opportunity and employee safety in all
                  jurisdictions in which it is presently doing business.

         (p) Possession of Franchises, Licenses, Etc. DAP possesses all
franchises, certificates, licenses, permits and other authorizations from
governmental political subdivisions or regulatory authorities, free from
burdensome restrictions, that are necessary in any material respect for the
ownership, maintenance and operation of its properties and assets, the failure
of which to possess would have a Material Adverse Effect and DAP is not in
violation of any thereof in any material respect.

         (q) Patents. Trademarks, Etc. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.1(q),
DAP owns or has the right to use all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade
names, copyrights, licenses, franchises and other rights, which are necessary
in any material respect for the operation of its business as presently
conducted or proposed to be conducted without any known conflict with the
rights of others, and, in each case, subject to no mortgage, pledge, lien,
lease, encumbrance, charge, security interest, title retention agreement or
option. To the knowledge of any member of Senior Management and except as set
forth in Schedule 4.1(q) (i) no product, process, method, substance, part,
piece of equipment or other material presently contemplated to be sold by or
employed by DAP in connection with its business may infringe any patent,
trademark, service mark, trade name, copyright, license or other right owned by
any other Person, (ii) there is no pending or threatened claim or litigation
against or affecting DAP contesting its right to sell or use any such product,
process, method, substance, part, piece of equipment or other material or (iii)

application or principle or any statute, law, rule, regulation, standard or
code which would prevent, materially inhibit or render obsolete the production
or sale of any products of, or substantially reduce the projected revenues of,
or otherwise have a Material Adversely Effect.

         (r) Governmental Consent. Neither the nature of DAP nor its business
or properties, nor any relationship between DAP and any other Person, nor any
circumstance in connection with the execution and delivery of the Operative
Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby is such
as to require on behalf of DAP or any other Obligor any consent, approval or
other action by or any notice to or




                                      23
<PAGE>   31

filing with any court or administrative or governmental body in connection with
the execution and delivery of this Master Agreement and the other Operative
Documents, except for such filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission
as may be required by applicable law (which filings DAP agrees to make promptly
and diligently pursue to completion).

         (s) Disclosure. Neither this Master Agreement nor the other Operative
Documents nor any other document, certificate or written statement furnished to
Funding Parties or the Agent by or on behalf of DAP or any other Obligor in
connection herewith contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits
to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained
herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading. There is no fact peculiar to DAP or any other Obligor which
materially adversely affects or in the future may (so far as DAP can now
foresee) materially adversely affect the business, property or assets, or the
financial condition of DAP or any other Obligor which has not been set forth in
this Master Agreement or in the other Operative Documents, certificates and
written statements furnished to Funding Parties and the Agent or otherwise
furnished to the Funding Parties and the Agent by or on behalf of DAP prior to
the date hereof in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

         (t) Labor Matters. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.1(t), the DAP has
experienced no strikes, labor disputes, slow downs or work stoppages due to
labor disagreements which have had, or would reasonably be expected to have, a
Material Adverse Effect, and, to the best knowledge of DAP's Senior Management,
there are no such strikes, disputes, slow downs or work stoppages threatened
against DAP or any other Obligor. The hours worked and payment made to
employees of DAP have not been in violation in any material respect of the Fair
Labor Standards Act or any other applicable law dealing with such matters. All
payments due from DAP, or for which any claim may be made against the
Consolidated Companies, on account of wages and employee health and welfare
insurance and other benefits have been paid or accrued as liabilities on the
books of DAP where the failure to pay or accrue such liabilities would
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         (u) Intercompany Loans; Dividends. Except as set forth in the
Operative Documents and as specifically disclosed in Schedule 4.1(u) with
respect to agreements evidencing other Consolidated Funded Debt, there are no
restrictions as of the Closing Date on the power of any Consolidated Company to
repay any Intercompany Loan or to pay dividends on capital stock.

         (v) Securities Acts. Neither DAP nor any agent acting on its behalf
has, directly or indirectly, taken or will take any action which would subject
the issuance of the Notes or any of the other Operative Documents to the
provisions of Section 5 of the




                                      24
<PAGE>   32

Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or, to the best knowledge of DAP, to the
provisions of any securities or Blue Sky Law of any applicable jurisdiction.

         (w) Investment Company Act; Holding Company. DAP is not an "investment
company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company" within the
meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and is not a "holding company,"
or a subsidiary or affiliate of a "holding company," or a "public utility,"
within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as
amended or a "public utility" within the meaning of the Federal Power Act, as
amended.

         (x) Regulation T, Etc. Neither DAP nor any agent acting on its behalf
has taken or will take any action which might cause this Master Agreement or
any other Operative Document to violate Regulation T, U or X or any other
regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or to
violate the Exchange Act, and each case in effect now or as the same may
hereafter be in effect.

         (y) Changes in Financial Condition; Adverse Developments. Except as
set forth on Schedule 4.1(c), from the date of the annual and most recent
quarterly financial statements described in Section 4.1(c) herein above, to the
date of this Master Agreement, there has been, and to the date of each Funding
there will be, no change in the properties, assets, liabilities, financial
condition, business operations, affairs or properties of DAP and its
Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis from that set forth or reflected in the
year-end and quarterly financial statements described in Section 4.1(c), other
than changes in the ordinary course of business, including acquisitions, none
of which either in any case or in the aggregate will have a Material Adverse
Effect.

                  (i)    To the best knowledge of the related Lessee, except

         for each Leased Property, there are no Hazardous Materials present at,
         upon, under or within such Leased Property or released or transported
         to or from such Leased Property (except in compliance in all material
         respects with all Applicable Law).

                  (ii)   To the best knowledge of the related Lessee, on the
         related Closing Date, no Governmental Actions have been taken or are
         in process or have been threatened, which could reasonably be expected
         to subject such Leased Property, any Lender or the Lessor to any
         Material Claims or Liens with respect to such Leased Property under
         any Environmental Law or would otherwise have a Material Adverse
         Effect.

         to operate each Leased Property, if any, in accordance with
         Environmental Laws and is complying with and has at all times complied
         with all such Environmental Permits, except to the extent the failure
         to obtain such Environmental Permits or to so comply would not have a
         Material Adverse Effect.

                  (iv) Except as set forth in the related Environmental Audit
         or in any notice subsequently furnished by the related Lessee to the
         Agent and approved by the Agent in writing prior to the respective
         times that the representations and warranties contained herein are
         made or deemed made hereunder, no notice, notification, demand,
         request for information, citations, summons, complaint or order has
         been issued or filed to or with respect to the related Lessee, no
         penalty has been assessed on the related Lessee and no investigation
         or review is pending or, to its best knowledge, threatened by any
         Governmental Authority or other Person in each case relating to any
         Leased Property with respect to any alleged material violation or
         liability of the related Lessee under any Environmental Law. To the
         best knowledge of the related Lessee, no material notice,
         notification, demand, request for information, citations, summons,
         complaint or order has been issued or filed to or with respect to any
         other Person, no material penalty has been assessed on any other

         Environmental Law by any other Person.

                  (v) To the best knowledge of the related Lessee, each Leased
         Property and each portion thereof are presently in compliance in all
         material respects with all Environmental Laws, and, to the best
         knowledge of the related Lessee, there are no present or past facts,
         circumstances, activities, events, conditions or occurrences regarding
         such Leased Property (including without limitation the release or
         presence of Hazardous Materials) that would reasonably be anticipated
         to (A) form the basis of a material Claim against such Leased
         Property, any Funding Party or the related Lessee, (B) cause such
         Leased Property to be subject to any material restrictions on
         ownership, occupancy, use or transferability under any Environmental
         Law, (C) require the filing or recording of any notice or restriction

                                      26
<PAGE>   34

For purposes of this Section 4.1(z), the term "material" with respect to any
event or circumstance means that such event or circumstance would reasonably be
anticipated to result in criminal or material liability on the part of any
Funding Party, or to have a material adverse effect on the value of any Leased
Property or to otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  (aa) Leased Property. To the best knowledge of the related
         Lessee, the present condition of each Leased Property conforms in all
         material respects with all conditions or requirements of all existing
         material permits and approvals issued with respect to such Leased
         Property, and the related Lessee's future intended use of such Leased
         Property under the Lease does not violate any Applicable Law, the
         violation of which is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
         Effect. To the best knowledge of the related Lessee, no material
         notices, complaints or orders of violation or non-compliance have been
         issued or threatened or contemplated by any Governmental Authority
         with respect to any Leased Property or any present or intended future
         use thereof, where the effect of such violation or noncompliance is
         reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. All material
         agreements, easements and other rights, public or private, which are
         necessary to permit the lawful use and operation of each Leased
         Property as the related Lessee intends to use such Leased Property
         under the Lease and which are necessary to permit the lawful intended
         use and operation of all presently intended utilities, driveways,
         roads and other means of egress and ingress to and from the same have
         been, or to the related Lessee's best knowledge will be, obtained and
         are or will be in full force and effect, and the related Lessee has no
         knowledge of any pending material modification or cancellation of any
         of the same.

                  (bb) Flood Hazard Areas. No portion of any Leased Property is
         located in an area identified as a special flood hazard area by the
         Federal Emergency Management Agency or other applicable agency, or if
         any such Leased Property is located in an area identified as a special
         flood hazard area by the Federal Emergency Management Agency or other
         applicable agency, then flood insurance has been obtained for such
         Leased Property in accordance with the Lease and in accordance with
         the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended.

judgment of DAP may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection
therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided,

interest of the Lessor, the Agent and the Funding Parties in the Leased
Properties as contemplated by the Operative Documents.

         SECTION 5.23 Additional Required Appraisals. If, as a result of any
change in Applicable Law after the date hereof, an appraisal of all or any of

Construction Agent, as agent for the Lessor, or the related Lessee for certain
closing, development and transaction costs associated therewith and, if
applicable, for the costs of Construction. No portion of the proceeds of the
Loans will be used by the Lessor (i) in connection with, whether directly or

corporation with a view towards obtaining control of such other corporation or
(ii) directly or indirectly, for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or
ultimate, of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock;

in any event within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, a balance sheet
of the Lessor as of the end of such fiscal year and the related statements of
income, partners' capital and cash flows for such fiscal year, setting forth in
each case in comparative form the figures for the previous fiscal year,
prepared in accordance with sound accounting principles consistent with the
income tax basis reports provided to DAP SUB for the period ended on December
31, 1999, together with copies of its tax returns, all certified by an officer
of the General Partner (and if the Lessor ever prepares audited financial
statements, it shall deliver copies thereof to the Agent and DAP SUB);

         (e) it will permit the Agent and its representatives to examine, and
make copies from, the Lessor's books and records, and to visit the offices and
properties of the Lessor for the purpose of examining such materials, and to
discuss the Lessor's performance hereunder with any of its, or its general
partner's, officers and employees, in each case during normal business hours
and upon reasonable notice;

         (h) it shall not enter into any other transactions, leases, purchases
or other agreements, other than immaterial transactions, purchases, leases and
other agreements entered into by the Lessor in the ordinary course of its
business, in which the other parties to said transactions, leases, purchases or
other agreements will have any recourse against Lessor other than recourse to
Lessor's ownership or other interest in the property subject to such
transactions, purchases, leases or other agreements, other than liability for
required fundings, breach of contract, misrepresentation, gross negligence,
willful misconduct, fraud, failure to turn over funds and similar exceptions to
limitations on recourse;

         (i) it shall not guaranty the liabilities of any other Person;

         (j) it shall pay its debts as such debts become due unless such debts
are the subject of a bona fide dispute; and




                                      42
<PAGE>   50

         (k) it shall promptly notify DAP SUB and the Agent of any claim
against the Lessor that would reasonably be expected to result in a material
liability of the Lessor for which it is not fully indemnified by a Person
reasonably capable of fully performing its obligations under such indemnity.

         SECTION 5.25 Lenders' Covenants. Each Lender severally agrees that it
will not make any future advances pursuant hereto (other than those in the
nature of remedial advances) without DAP's or a Lessee's consent (it being

(ii) DAP has consented to the capitalization of interest and yield pursuant to
Section 2.3(c) and (iii) nothing set forth in Section 5.25 shall abrogate the
Construction Agent's duties under the Construction Agency Agreement). In the

Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Agent shall promptly give
DAP notice thereof, and the Lenders shall not exercise remedies pursuant to the
Loan Agreement if such Loan Event of Default is capable of being cured, unless
thirty (30) days or more has elapsed since the date of the notice from the
Agent to DAP thereof and DAP has not cured such Loan Event of Default, or
caused such Loan Event of Default to be cured.

                                  ARTICLE VI.

         SECTION 6.1 Lessor Transfers. The Lessor shall not assign, convey or
otherwise transfer all or any portion of its right, title or interest in, to or
under any Leased Property or any of the Operative Documents without the prior
written consent of the Lenders and, unless an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing and the Lessor or the Agent is exercising one or more remedies
under the Lease, DAP SUB. Any proposed transferee of the Lessor shall make the
representation set forth in Section 4.3 to the other parties hereto.

         SECTION 6.2 Lender Transfers.

         (a) Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Loans at, to or for the

         (b) Each Lender may assign all or a portion of its interests, rights
and obliga tions under this Master Agreement and the Loan Agreement (including
all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) to
any Person; provided, however, that (i) the Agent and, except during the
continuance of a Potential Event of Default or Event of Default, DAP SUB must
give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless such assignment is to another Lender
or Affiliate of the assigning Lender, (ii) unless such Lender is assigning all
of its Commitment, after giving effect to such assignment, the Commitment of
both the assignor and the assignee is at least $1,000,000




                                      43
<PAGE>   51

and (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, and, unless such assignment is to an
Affiliate of such Lender, a processing and recordation fee of $2,500. Any such
assignment of the Loans shall include both the A Loans and the B Loans of such
assigning Lender, on a pro rata basis. No Lessee shall be responsible for such
processing and recordation fee or any costs or expenses incurred by any Lender
or the Agent in connection with such assignment. From and after the effective
date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be
at least five (5) Business Days after the execution thereof, the assignee
thereunder shall be a party hereto and to the extent of the interest assigned
by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender
under this Master Agreement and the Loan Agreement.

         (c) Each Lender may, without the consent of DAP SUB or any Lessee,
sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in all or a portion
of its rights and obligations under this Master Agreement and the Loan
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments in the Loans owing to
it), provided, however, that (i) no Lender may sell a participation in its
Commitment (after giving effect to any permitted assignment hereunder) in an
amount in excess of fifty percent (50%) of such Commitment (provided that (1)
sales of participations to an Affiliate of Lender shall not be included in such
calculation and (2) no such maximum amount shall be applicable to any
participation sold at any time there exists an Event of Default), (ii) such
Lender's obligations under this Master Agreement and the Loan Agreement shall
remain unchanged, (iii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the
other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iv) the
participating bank or other entity shall not be entitled to any greater benefit
than its selling Lender under the cost protection provisions contained in
Section 7.5 of this Master Agreement, and (v) DAP SUB, each Lessee, the Agent
and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with each
Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this
Master Agreement and the other Operative Documents, and such Lender shall
retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of Lessor relating to the
Loans and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provisions of
this Master Agreement and the Loan Agreement (except that such Lender may
permit the participant to approve any amendment, modification or waiver which
would reduce the principal of or the interest rate on its Loan, extend the term
of such Lender's Commitment, reduce the amount of any fees to which such
participant is entitled or extend the final scheduled payment date of any Loan,
it being understood that in all events, the other parties hereto may
conclusively rely on such Lender's approval of any such amendment, modification
or waiver and shall have no obligation to ascertain whether such participant
has approved such amendment, modification or waiver). Any Lender selling a
participation hereunder shall provide prompt written notice to the Agent of the
name of such participant.

         (d) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with the assignment
or par ticipation or proposed assignment or participation, pursuant to this
Section, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or
participant any information relating to DAP or its Subsidiaries furnished to
such Lender by or on behalf of DAP. With respect to any disclosure of



                                      44
<PAGE>   52

confidential, non-public, proprietary information, such proposed assignee or
participant shall agree to use the information only for the purpose of making
any necessary credit judgments with respect to this facility and not to use the
information in any manner prohibited by any law, including without limitation,
the securities laws of the United States. The proposed participant or assignee
shall agree not to disclose any of such information except as permitted by this
Master Agreement. The proposed participant or assignee shall further agree to
return all documents or other written material and copies thereof received from
any Lender, the Agent or any Lessee relating to such confidential information
unless otherwise properly disposed of by such entity.

         (e) Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights
under this Master Agreement and the Notes to a Federal Reserve Bank without
complying with the requirements of paragraph (b) above; provided that no such
assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

         (f) The Lenders hereby acknowledge and agree that the Lessees shall
have the right to the quiet enjoyment of the Leased Properties pursuant to the
Lease, whether or not a Loan Event of Default that is not an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing.

whether or not such Indemnitee shall also be indemnified as to any such Claim
by any other Person (provided that no Indemnitee shall have the right to double
recovery with respect to any Claim) and whether or not such Claim arises or
accrues prior to any Closing Date or after the Lease Termination Date, or
results from such Indemnitee's negligence, in any way relating to or arising
out of:

         (a) any of the Operative Documents or any of the transactions
contemplated thereby, and any amendment, modification or waiver in respect
thereof; or

Agreement or any other Operative Document, or any breach by DAP SUB or any
Lessee of any requirement, condition, restriction or limitation in any Deed,
Purchase Agreement, IDB Documentation or Ground Lease; or

         (h) any IDB Documentation;

provided, however, neither DAP nor any Lessee shall be required to indemnify

personal injury or real or personal property damage), losses (including but not
limited to any loss of value of any Leased Property), damages, liabilities,
fines, penalties, charges, suits, settlements, demands, administrative and
judicial proceedings (including informal proceedings and investigations) and
orders, judgments, remedial action, requirements, enforcement actions of any
kind, and all reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred in connection
therewith (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' and/or
paralegals' 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 by any federal, state or
local government agency, arising directly or indirectly, in whole or in part,
out of

                  (i)    the presence on or under any Land of any Hazardous
         Materials, or any releases or discharges of any Hazardous Materials
         on, under, from or onto any Land,

                  (ii)   any activity, including, without limitation,

         by a Lessee or any predecessor in title or any employees, agents,
         contractors or subcontractors of a Lessee or any predecessor in title,
         or any other Person, in connection with the handling, treatment,

         time are located or present on or under or that at any time migrate,

                  (iii)  loss of or damage to any 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 to the extent related to any
         Leased Property,

                  (iv)   any claim concerning any Leased Property's lack of
         compliance with Environmental Laws, or any act or omission causing an
         environmental condition on or with respect to any Leased Property that
         requires remediation or would allow any governmental agency to record
         a lien or encumbrance on the land records, or

                  (v)    any residual contamination on or under any Land, or
         affecting any natural resources on any Land, and to any contamination
         of any property or natural resources arising in connection with the
         generation, use, handling, storage, transport or disposal of any such
         Hazardous Materials on or from any Leased Property; in each case
         irrespective of whether any of such activities were or will be
         undertaken in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, codes and
         ordinances;

in any case with respect to the matters described in the foregoing clauses (i)
through (v) that arise or occur

         (w) prior to or during the Lease Term,

         (x) at any time during which a Lessee or any Affiliate thereof owns
any interest in or otherwise occupies or possesses any Leased Property or any
portion thereof, or

         (y) during any period after and during the continuance of any Event of
Default until such time as possession of the Leased Properties has been turned
over to a Person other than DAP or any Affiliate thereof;

provided, however, no Lessee shall be required to indemnify any Indemnitee
under this Section 7.2 for any Claim to the extent that such Claim results from
the willful misconduct or gross negligence of any Indemnitee. 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
other remedy under this Master Agreement, the Lease or any other Operative
Document.

         SECTION 7.3 Proceedings in Respect of Claims. With respect to any
amount that a Lessee is requested by an Indemnitee to pay by reason of Section
7.1 or 7.2, such Indemnitee shall, if so requested by such Lessee and prior to
any payment, submit such additional information to such Lessee as such Lessee
may reasonably request and which is in the possession of, or under the control
of, such Indemnitee to substantiate properly the requested payment. In case any
action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against any Indemnitee, such
Indemnitee promptly shall notify DAP SUB of the commencement thereof (provided
that the failure of such Indemnitee to promptly notify DAP SUB shall not affect
DAP's or any Lessee's obligation to indemnify hereunder except to the extent
that a Lessee's rights to contest or defenses otherwise available to such
Lessee are materially prejudiced by such failure), and such Lessee shall be
entitled, at its expense, to participate in, and, to the extent that such
Lessee desires to, assume and control the defense thereof with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee; provided, however, that such
Indemnitee may pursue a motion to dismiss such Indemnitee from such action,
suit or proceeding with counsel of such Indemnitee's choice at the Lessees'
expense; and provided further that a Lessee may assume and control the defense
of such proceeding only if DAP, if requested to do so by the Indemnitee, shall
have acknowledged in writing its and each Lessee's obligations to fully
indemnify such Indemnitee in respect of such action, suit or proceeding,
Lessees shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses related to such action,
suit or proceeding as and when incurred and the related Lessee shall keep such
Indemnitee fully apprised of the status of such action, suit or proceeding and
shall provide such Indemnitee with all information with respect to such action,
suit or proceeding as such Indemnitee shall reasonably request; and, provided
further, that no Lessee shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of
any such action, suit or proceeding if and to the extent that, (A) in the
reasonable opinion of such Indemnitee, (x) such action, suit or proceeding
involves any possibility of imposition of criminal liability or any material
risk of civil liability on such Indemnitee in excess of $5,000,000 or (y) such
action, suit or proceeding will involve a material risk of the sale, forfeiture
or loss of, or the creation of any Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) on any
Leased Property or any part thereof unless the related Lessee or DAP shall have
posted a bond or other security satisfactory to the relevant Indemnitees in
respect to such risk or (z) the control of such action, suit or proceeding
would involve an actual or potential conflict of interest, (B) such proceeding
involves Claims not fully indemnified by the Lessees which the related Lessee
and the Indemnitee have been unable to sever from the indemnified claim(s), or
(C) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The Indemnitee may
participate in a reasonable manner at its own expense and with its own counsel
in any proceeding conducted by a Lessee in accordance with the foregoing.

         If a Lessee fails to fulfill the conditions to such Lessee's assuming
the defense of any claim after receiving notice thereof on or prior to the
later of (a) the date that is five (5) days after receiving notice thereof and
(b) the date that is fifteen (15) days prior to the date that an answer or
response is required, the Indemnitee may undertake such defense, at the
Lessees' expense. No Lessee shall enter into any settlement or other compromise
with respect to any Claim in excess of $1,000,000 which is entitled to be
indemnified under Section 7.1 or 7.2 without the prior written




                                      49
<PAGE>   57

consent of the related Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no
Indemnitee shall enter into any settlement or other compromise with respect to
any claim which is entitled to be indemnified under Section 7.1 or 7.2 without
the prior written consent of DAP SUB, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, unless such Indemnitee waives its right to be indemnified under
Section 7.1 or 7.2 with respect to such Claim.

         Upon payment in full of any Claim by the Lessees pursuant to Section
7.1 or 7.2 to or on behalf of an Indemnitee, the Lessees, without any further
action, shall be subrogated to any and all claims that such Indemnitee may have
relating thereto (other than claims in respect of insurance policies maintained
by such Indemnitee at its own expense), and such Indemnitee shall execute such
instruments of assignment and conveyance, evidence of claims and payment and
such other documents, instruments and agreements as may be reasonably necessary
to preserve any such claims and otherwise cooperate with the Lessees and give
such further assurances as are reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the
Lessees vigorously to pursue such claims.

         Any amount payable to an Indemnitee pursuant to Section 7.1 or 7.2
shall be paid to such Indemnitee promptly upon, but in no event later than
thirty (30) days after, receipt of a written demand therefor from such
Indemnitee, accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail
the basis for such indemnity and the computation of the amount so payable,
provided, however, that in the event such indemnification arises as a result of
an action, suit or proceeding, for amounts other than expenses of defense, such
30 days shall be measured from the earlier of the date such matter is settled
or finally adjudicated and the date such Indemnitee makes a payment with
respect thereto that was required by Applicable Law to be paid or that was
consented to by DAP or a Lessee.

         If for any reason the indemnification provided for in Section 7.1 or
7.2 is unavailable to an Indemnitee or is insufficient to hold an Indemnitee
harmless, then each of DAP and each Lessee agrees to contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such loss, claim, damage or
liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative
benefits received by such Indemnitee on the one hand and by DAP and the Lessees
on the other hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnitee as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations. It is expressly understood and agreed
that the right to contribution provided for herein shall survive the expiration
or termination of and shall be separate and independent from any other remedy
under this Master Agreement, the Lease or any other Operative Document.

         SECTION 7.4 General Tax Indemnity. (a) Tax Indemnity. Except as
otherwise provided in this Section 7.4, each of DAP and each Lessee, jointly
and severally, shall pay on an After-Tax Basis, and on written demand shall
indemnify and hold each Tax Indemnitee harmless from and against, any and all
fees (including, without limitation, documentation, recording, license and
registration fees), taxes (including, without limitation, income, gross
receipts, sales, rental, use, turnover, value-added, property, excise and stamp
taxes), levies, imposts, duties, charges,




                                      50
<PAGE>   58

assessments or withholdings of any nature whatsoever, together with any
penalties, fines or interest thereon or additions thereto (any of the foregoing
being referred to herein as "Taxes" and individually as a "Tax" (for the
purposes of this Section 7.4, the definition of "Taxes" includes amounts
imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against each Tax Indemnitee as the result
of any prohibited transaction, within the meaning of Section 406 or 407 of
ERISA or Section 4975(c) of the Code, arising out of the transactions
contemplated hereby or by any other Operative Document)) imposed on or with
respect to any Tax Indemnitee, any Lessee, DAP, any Leased Property or any
portion thereof or any Land, or any sublessee or user thereof, by the United
States or by any state or local government or other taxing authority in the
United States in connection with or in any way relating to (i) the acquisition,
financing, mortgaging, construction, preparation, installation, inspection,
delivery, non-delivery, acceptance, rejection, purchase, ownership, possession,
rental, lease, sublease, maintenance, repair, storage, transfer of title,
redelivery, use, operation, condition, sale, return or other application or
disposition of all or any part of any Leased Property or the imposition of any
Lien (or incurrence of any liability to refund or pay over any amount as a
result of any Lien) thereon, (ii) Basic Rent or Supplemental Rent or the
receipts or earnings arising from or received with respect to any Leased
Property or any part thereof, or any interest therein or any applications or
dispositions thereof, (iii) any other amount paid or payable pursuant to the
Notes or any other Operative Documents, (iv) any Leased Property, any Land or
any part thereof or any interest therein (including, without limitation, all
assessments payable in respect thereof, including, without limitation, all
assessments noted on the related Title Policy), (v) all or any of the Operative
Documents, any other documents contemplated thereby, any amendments and
supplements thereto, and (vi) otherwise with respect to or in connection with
the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, during the Construction Term for any Construction Land Interest, (i)
DAP and the Lessees shall only be obligated to indemnify the Lessor and its
Affiliates, successors, permitted assigns, permitted transferees, employees,
officers, directors and agents, with respect to Taxes related to such
Construction Land Interest and (ii) Lessor hereby indemnifies the other Tax
Indemnitees (as defined in clause (ii) of the definition thereof) for such
Taxes, to the extent that Lessor receives payment therefor from DAP or any
Lessee.

         (b) Exclusions from General Tax Indemnity. Section 7.4(a) shall not
apply to:

                  (i)    Taxes on, based on, or measured by or with respect to
         net income of the Lessor, the Agent and the Lenders (including,
         without limitation, minimum Taxes, capital gains Taxes, Taxes on or
         measured by items of tax preference or alternative minimum Taxes)
         other than (A) any such Taxes that are, or are in the nature of,
         sales, use, license, rental or property Taxes, and (B) withholding
         Taxes imposed by the United States or any state in which Leased
         Property is located (i) on payments with respect to the Notes, to the
         extent imposed by reason of a change in Applicable Law occurring after
         the date on which Lender became a Lender hereunder or (ii) on Rent, to
         the extent the net payment of Rent after deduction of such withholding
         Taxes would be less than amounts currently payable with respect to the
         Funded Amounts;




                                      51
<PAGE>   59

                  (ii)   Taxes on, based on, or in the nature of, or measured
         by Taxes on doing business and business privilege, franchise, capital,
         capital stock, net worth, gross receipts or similar Taxes, other than
         (A) any increase in such Taxes imposed on such Tax Indemnitee by any
         state in which Leased Property is located, net of any decrease in such
         taxes realized by such Tax Indemnitee, to the extent that such tax
         increase would not have occurred if on each Funding Date the Lessor
         and the Lenders had advanced funds to a Lessee or the Construction
         Agent in the form of loans secured by the Leased Property in an amount
         equal to the Funded Amounts funded on such Funding Date, with debt
         service for such loans equal to the Basic Rent payable on each Payment
         Date and a principal balance at the maturity of such loans in a total
         amount equal to the Funded Amounts at the end of the Lease Term, or
         (B) any Taxes that are or are in the nature of sales, use, rental,
         license or property Taxes relating to any Leased Property;

                  (iii)  Taxes that are based on, or measured by, the fees or
         other compensation received by a Person acting as Agent (in its
         individual capacities) or any Affiliate of any thereof for acting as
         trustee under the Loan Agreement;

                  (iv)   Taxes that result from any act, event or omission, or
         are attributable to any period of time, that occurs after the earlier
         of (A) the expiration of the Lease Term with respect to any Leased
         Property and, if such Leased Property is required to be returned to
         the Lessor in accordance with the Lease, such return and (B) the
         discharge in full of the Lessees' obligations to pay the Lease
         Balance, or any amount determined by reference thereto, with respect
         to any Leased Property and all other amounts due under the Lease,
         unless such Taxes relate to acts, events or matters occurring prior to
         the earlier of such times or are imposed on or with respect to any
         payments due under the Operative Documents after such expiration or
         discharge;

                  (v)    Taxes imposed on a Tax Indemnitee that result from any
         voluntary sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition or
         bankruptcy by such Tax Indemnitee or any related Tax Indemnitee of any
         interest in any Leased Property or any part thereof, or any interest
         therein or any interest or obligation arising under the Operative
         Documents, or from any sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition
         of any interest in such Tax Indemnitee or any related Tax Indemnitee,
         it being understood that each of the following shall not be considered
         a voluntary sale: (A) any substitution, replacement or removal of any
         of the Leased Property by any Lessee, (B) any sale or transfer
         resulting from the exercise by any Lessee of any termination option,
         any purchase option or sale option, (C) any sale or transfer while an
         Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the
         Lease, and (D) any sale or transfer resulting from the Lessor's
         exercise of remedies under the Lease;

                  (vi)   any Tax which is being contested in accordance with
         the provisions of Section 7.4(c), during the pendency of such contest;



                                      52
<PAGE>   60

                  (vii)  any Tax that is imposed on a Tax Indemnitee as a result
         of such Tax Indemnitee's gross negligence or willful misconduct (other
         than gross negligence or willful misconduct imputed to such Tax
         Indemnitee solely by reason of its interest in any Leased Property);

                  (viii) any Tax that results from a Tax Indemnitee engaging,
         with respect to any Leased Property, in transactions unrelated to the
         Leased Properties or the transactions contemplated by the Operative
         Documents;

                  (ix)   to the extent any interest, penalties or additions to
         tax result in whole or in part from the failure of a Tax Indemnitee to
         file a return or pay a Tax that it is required to file or pay in a
         proper and timely manner, unless such failure (A) results from the
         transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents in circumstances
         where Lessee did not give timely notice to such Tax Indemnitee (and
         such Tax Indemnitee otherwise had no actual knowledge) of such filing
         or payment requirement that would have permitted a proper and timely
         filing of such return or payment of such Tax, as the case may be, or
         (B) results from the failure of Lessee to supply information necessary
         for the proper and timely filing of such return or payment of such
         Tax, as the case may be, that was not in the possession of such Tax
         Indemnitee; and

                  (x)    any Tax that results from the breach by the Lessor of
         its representation and warranty made in Section 4.3(g) or the breach
         of any Lender of its representation and warranty made in Section
         4.4(b).

         (c) Contests. If any claim shall be made against any Tax Indemnitee or
if any proceeding shall be commenced against any Tax Indemnitee (including a
written notice of such proceeding) for any Taxes as to which the Lessees may
have an indemnity obligation pursuant to Section 7.4, or if any Tax Indemnitee
shall determine that any Taxes as to which the Lessees may have an indemnity
obligation pursuant to Section 7.4 may be payable, such Tax Indemnitee shall
promptly notify DAP SUB. DAP SUB shall be entitled, at its expense, to
participate in, and, to the extent that DAP SUB desires to, assume and control
the defense thereof; provided, however, that DAP, if requested to do so by such
Tax Indemnitee, shall have acknowledged in writing its and each Lessee's
obligation to fully indemnify such Tax Indemnitee in respect of such action,
suit or proceeding if the contest is unsuccessful; and, provided further, that
DAP SUB shall not be entitled to assume and control the defense of any such
action, suit or proceeding (but the Tax Indemnitee shall then contest, at the
sole cost and expense of DAP and the Lessees, on behalf of DAP with
representatives reasonably satisfactory to DAP or a Lessee) if and to the
extent that, (A) in the reasonable opinion of such Tax Indemnitee, such action,
suit or proceeding (x) involves any meaningful risk of imposition of criminal
liability or any material risk of civil liability in excess of $5,000,000 on
such Tax Indemnitee or (y) will involve a material risk of the sale, forfeiture
or loss of, or the creation of any Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) on any
Leased Property or any part thereof unless DAP SUB or a Lessee shall have
posted a bond or other




                                      53
<PAGE>   61

security satisfactory to the relevant Tax Indemnitees in respect to such risk,
(B) such proceeding involves Claims not fully indemnified by the Lessees which
DAP SUB and the Tax Indemnitee have been unable to sever from the indemnified
claim(s), (C) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (D) such
action, suit or proceeding involves matters which extend beyond or are
unrelated to the Transaction and if determined adversely could be materially
detrimental to the interests of such Tax Indemnitee notwithstanding
indemnification by the Lessees or (E) such action, suit or proceeding involves
the federal or any state income tax liability of the Tax Indemnitee. With
respect to any contests controlled by a Tax Indemnitee, (i) if such contest
relates to the federal or any state income tax liability of such Tax
Indemnitee, such Tax Indemnitee shall be required to conduct such contest only
if DAP SUB shall have provided to such Tax Indemnitee an opinion of independent
tax counsel selected by the Tax Indemnitee and reasonably satisfactory to DAP
SUB stating that a reasonable basis exists to contest such claim or (ii) in the
case of an appeal of an adverse determination of any contest relating to any
Taxes, an opinion of such counsel to the effect that such appeal is more likely
than not to be successful, provided, however, such Tax Indemnitee shall in no
event be required to appeal an adverse determination to the United States
Supreme Court. The Tax Indemnitee may participate in a reasonable manner at its
own expense and with its own counsel in any proceeding conducted by DAP SUB in
accordance with the foregoing.

         Each Tax Indemnitee shall, at DAP's and the Lessees' expense, supply
DAP SUB with such information and documents in such Tax Indemnitee's possession
as are reasonably requested by DAP SUB and are necessary or advisable for DAP
SUB to participate in any action, suit or proceeding to the extent permitted by
this Section 7.4. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, no Tax Indemnitee shall enter into any settlement or other
compromise with respect to any Claim which is entitled to be indemnified under
this Section 7.4 without the prior written consent of DAP SUB, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless such Tax Indemnitee waives its right
to be indemnified under this Section 7.4 with respect to such Claim.

         Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (a) a Tax
Indemnitee will not be required to contest) a claim with respect to the
imposition of any Tax if such Tax Indemnitee shall waive its right to
indemnification under this Section 7.4 with respect to such claim (and any
related claim with respect to other taxable years the contest of which is
precluded as a result of such waiver) and (b) no Tax Indemnitee shall be
required to contest any claim if the subject matter thereof shall be of a
continuing nature and shall have previously been decided adversely, unless
there has been a change in law which in the opinion of Tax Indemnitee's counsel
creates substantial authority for the success of such contest. Each Tax
Indemnitee and DAP SUB shall consult in good faith with each other regarding
the conduct of such contest controlled by either.

         (d) Reimbursement for Tax Savings. If (x) a Tax Indemnitee shall
obtain a credit or refund of any Taxes paid by DAP or any Lessee pursuant to
this Section 7.4 or (y) by reason of the incurrence or imposition of any Tax
for which a Tax Indemnitee is indemnified




                                      54
<PAGE>   62

hereunder or any payment made to or for the account of such Tax Indemnitee by
DAP or any Lessee pursuant to this Section 7.4, such Tax Indemnitee at any time
realizes a reduction in any Taxes for which the Lessees are not required to
indemnify such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 7.4, which reduction in
Taxes was not taken into account in computing such payment by DAP SUB or any
Lessee to or for the account of such Tax Indemnitee, then such Tax Indemnitee
shall promptly pay to DAP SUB (xx) the amount of such credit or refund,
together with the amount of any interest received by such Tax Indemnitee on
account of such credit or refund or (yy) an amount equal to such reduction in
Taxes, as the case may be; provided that no such payment shall be made so long
as an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (but shall be paid
promptly after all Events of Default have been cured) and, provided, further,
that the amount payable to DAP by any Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section
7.4(d) shall not at any time exceed the aggregate amount of all indemnity
payments made by DAP and the Lessees under this Section 7.4 to such Tax
Indemnitee with respect to the Taxes which gave rise to the credit or refund or
with respect to the Tax which gave rise to the reduction in Taxes less the
amount of all prior payments made to DAP by such Tax Indemnitee under this
Section 7.4(d). Each Tax Indemnitee agrees to act in good faith to claim such
refunds and other available Tax benefits, and take such other actions as may be
reasonable to minimize any payment due from DAP or the Lessees pursuant to this
Section 7.4. The disallowance or reduction of any credit, refund or other tax
savings with respect to which a Tax Indemnitee has made a payment to DAP and
the Lessees under this Section 7.4(d) shall be treated as a Tax for which DAP
SUB and the Lessees are obligated to indemnify such Tax Indemnitee hereunder
without regard to Section 7.4(b) hereof.

         (e) Payments. Any Tax indemnifiable under this Section 7.4 shall be
paid by DAP or a Lessee directly when due to the applicable taxing authority if
direct payment is practicable and permitted. If direct payment to the
applicable taxing authority is not permitted or is otherwise not made, any
amount payable to a Tax Indemnitee pursuant to Section 7.4 shall be paid within
thirty (30) days after receipt of a written demand therefor from such Tax
Indemnitee accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail
the amount so payable, but not before the date that the relevant Taxes are due.
Any payments made pursuant to Section 7.4 shall be made to the Tax Indemnitee
entitled thereto or DAP, as the case may be, in immediately available funds at
such bank or to such account as specified by the payee in written directions to
the payor, or, if no such direction shall have been given, by check of the
payor payable to the order of the payee by certified mail, postage prepaid at
its address as set forth in this Master Agreement. Upon the request of any Tax
Indemnitee with respect to a Tax that DAP and the Lessees are required to pay,
DAP SUB shall furnish to such Tax Indemnitee the original or a certified copy
of a receipt for DAP's or a Lessee's payment of such Tax or such other evidence
of payment as is reasonably acceptable to such Tax Indemnitee.

         (f) Reports. If DAP or any Lessee knows of any report, return or
statement required to be filed with respect to any Taxes that are subject to
indemnification under this Section 7.4, such Lessee shall, if such Lessee is
permitted by Applicable Law, timely file such




                                      55
<PAGE>   63

report, return or statement (and, to the extent permitted by law, show
ownership of the applicable Leased Property in such Lessee); provided, however,
that if such Lessee is not permitted by Applicable Law or does not have access
to the information required to file any such report, return or statement, such
Lessee will promptly so notify the appropriate Tax Indemnitee, in which case
Tax Indemnitee will file such report. In any case in which the Tax Indemnitee
will file any such report, return or statement, the related Lessee shall, upon
written request of such Tax Indemnitee, prepare such report, return or
statement for filing by such Tax Indemnitee or, if such Tax Indemnitee so
requests, provide such Tax Indemnitee with such information as is reasonably
available to such Lessee.

         (g) Verification. At DAP SUB's request, the amount of any indemnity
payment by a Lessee or any payment by a Tax Indemnitee to DAP pursuant to this
Section 7.4 shall be verified and certified by an independent public accounting
firm selected by DAP SUB and reasonably acceptable to the Tax Indemnitee.
Unless such verification shall disclose an error in DAP's favor of 5% or more
of the related indemnity payment, the costs of such verification shall be borne
by DAP; otherwise, such costs shall be borne by the related Tax Indemnitee. In
no event shall DAP or any Lessee have the right to review the Tax Indemnitee's
tax returns or receive any other confidential information from the Tax
Indemnitee in connection with such verification. The Tax Indemnitee agrees to
cooperate with the independent public accounting firm performing the
verification and to supply such firm with all information reasonably necessary
to permit it to accomplish such verification, provided that the information
provided to such firm by such Tax Indemnitee shall be for its confidential use.
The parties agree that the sole responsibility of the independent public
accounting firm shall be to verify the amount of a payment pursuant to this
Master Agreement and that matters of interpretation of this Master Agreement
are not within the scope of the independent accounting firm's responsibilities.

         SECTION 7.5 Increased Costs, etc.

         (a) Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any
change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application
thereof shall make it unlawful for any Funding Party to make or maintain LIBOR
Advances as contemplated by this Master Agreement, (a) the commitment of such
Funding Party hereunder to continue LIBOR Advance as such and convert Funded
Amounts to LIBOR Advance shall forthwith be cancelled and (b) such Funding
Party's Funded Amounts then outstanding as LIBOR Advance, if any, shall be
converted automatically to Base Rate Advances on the respective last days of
the then current Rent Periods with respect to such Funded Amounts or within
such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a LIBOR
Advance occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Rent
Period with respect thereto, each of DAP and each Lessee, jointly and
severally, shall pay to such Funding Party such amounts, if any, as may be
required pursuant to Section 7.5(f).




                                      56
<PAGE>   64

         (b) Requirements of Law. In the event that Eurocurrency Reserve
Requirements or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation
or application thereof or compliance by any Funding Party with any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or
other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

                  (i)    shall subject any Funding Party to any tax of any kind
         whatsoever with respect to this Master Agreement, any Note or any
         LIBOR Advance made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments
         to such Funding Party in respect thereof (except for taxes covered by
         Section 7.5(d) and changes in franchise taxes or the rate of tax on
         the overall net income of such Funding Party);

                  (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,
         advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other
         acquisition of funds by, any office of such Funding Party which is not
         otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate; or

                  (iii)  shall impose on such Funding Party any other
         condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Funding
Party, by an amount which such Funding Party deems to be material, of making,
converting into, continuing or maintaining LIBOR Advances or to reduce any
amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof then, in any such case, each of
DAP SUB and each Lessee, jointly and severally, shall promptly pay such Funding
Party, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such
Funding Party for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any
Funding Party becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this
subsection in relation to such outstanding LIBOR Advances, it shall promptly
notify the DAP SUB, through the Agent, of the event by reason of which it has
become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant
to this subsection submitted by such Funding Party, through the Agent, to the
DAP SUB in good faith and setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of
such amounts shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The
provisions of this paragraph (b) shall survive the termination of this Master
Agreement and the Lease and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts
payable under the Operative Documents.

         (c) Capital Adequacy. In the event that any Funding Party or
corporation controlling such Funding Party shall have determined that any
change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the
interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Funding Party or
such corporation with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy
(whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made
subsequent to the date hereof does or shall have the effect of reducing the
rate of return on such Funding Party's capital as a consequence of its
obligations hereunder to a level below that which such




                                      57
<PAGE>   65

Funding Party could have achieved but for such change or compliance (taking
into consideration such Funding Party's policies with respect to capital
adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Funding Party to be material, then from
time to time, after submission by such Funding Party in good faith to DAP SUB
(with a copy to the Agent) of a written request therefor setting forth in
reasonable detail the calculation of such amount (which request shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error), each of DAP and each Lessee,
jointly and severally, shall pay to such Funding Party such additional amount
or amounts as will compensate such Funding Party for such reduction to the
extent imposed generally on other lessees or borrowers with whom such Funding
Party has similar lease or credit arrangements (but in the case of outstanding
Base Rate Advances, without duplication of any amounts already covered by such
Funding Party by reason of an adjustment in the applicable Base Rate). The
provisions of this paragraph (c) shall survive the termination of this Master
Agreement and the Lease and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts
payable under the Operative Documents.

         (d) Taxes. Subject to Section 7.5(e), all payments made by a Lessee
under the Lease and the other Operative Documents shall be made free and clear
of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or
future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees,
deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected,
withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding, in the case of
the Agent and each Funding Party, net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed
in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the Agent or such Funding Party, as the
case may be, as a result of a present or former connection between the
jurisdiction of the government or taxing authority imposing such tax and the
Agent or such Funding Party (excluding a connection arising solely from the
Agent or such Funding Party having executed, delivered or performed its
obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Master Agreement or
any other Operative Document) or any political subdivision or taxing authority
thereof or therein (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties,
charges, fees, deductions and withholdings being hereinafter called
"Withholding Taxes"). If any Withholding Taxes are required to be withheld from
any amounts payable to the Agent or any Funding Party hereunder or under any
other Operative Document, the amounts so payable to the Agent or such Funding
Party (so long as such Funding Party is in compliance with Section 7.5(e), as
appropriate) shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Agent
or such Funding Party (after payment of all Withholding Taxes) interest or any
such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified
in the Operative Documents. Whenever any Withholding Taxes are payable by a
Lessee, as promptly as possible thereafter such Lessee shall send to the Agent
for its own account or for the account of such Funding Party, as the case may
be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by such Lessee
showing payment thereof. If a Lessee fails to pay any Withholding Taxes when
due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Agent the
required receipts or other required documentary evidence, each of DAP SUB and
each Lessee, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Agent and the Funding
Parties for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become
payable by the Agent or any Funding Party as a result of any such failure. The
agreements in this subsection shall survive the termination of this Master
Agreement and the




                                      58
<PAGE>   66

Lease and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable under the
Operative Documents.

         (e) Tax Forms. Each Lender to this Master Agreement on the Initial
Closing Date that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of
America or a state thereof agrees that, on or prior to the Initial Closing
Date, it will deliver to DAP SUB and the Agent two duly completed copies of (i)
United States Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or 4224 or successor
applicable form, as the case may be, and (ii) an Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8 or W-9 or successor applicable form. Each such Lender also agrees to
deliver to DAP SUB and the Agent two further copies of the said Form 1001 or
4224 and Form W-8 or W-9, or successor applicable forms or other manner of
certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such form
expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a
change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to DAP SUB, and such
extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by DAP SUB or the
Agent, unless in any such case an event (including, without limitation, any
change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which
any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms
inapplicable or which would prevent such Funding Party from duly completing and
delivering any such form with respect to it and such Funding Party so advises
DAP SUB and the Agent. Such Lender shall certify (i) in the case of a Form 1001
or 4224, that it is entitled to receive payments under the Operative Documents
without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes and
(ii) in the case of a Form W-8 or W-9, that it is entitled to an exemption from
United States backup withholding tax.

         (f) Breakage Costs. Each of DAP and each Lessee, jointly and
severally, agrees to indemnify each Funding Party and to hold each Funding
Party harmless from any loss or expense which such Funding Party may sustain or
incur as a consequence of (a) default by a Lessee in payment when due of the
principal amount of or interest on any LIBOR Advance, (b) default by a Lessee
in making a borrowing or conversion after such Lessee or the Construction Agent
has given (or is deemed to have given) a notice in accordance with this Master
Agreement, (c) default by a Lessee in making any prepayment of LIBOR Advances
after such Lessee has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions
of the Operative Documents or (d) the making of a prepayment, payment or
conversion, of LIBOR Advances on a day which is not the last day of a Rent
Period with respect thereto, including, without limitation, in each case, any
such loss (other than non-receipt of the Applicable Margin or, without
duplication, anticipated profits) or expense arising from the reemployment of
funds obtained by it or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which
such funds were obtained (it being understood that any such calculation will be
made on notional amounts as the Funding Parties are not required to show that
they matched deposits specifically). A certificate as to any additional amounts
payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by such Funding Party, through
the Agent, to DAP SUB in good faith shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error. The provisions of this paragraph (f) shall survive the
termination of this Master Agreement and the Lease and the payment of the Notes
and all other amounts payable under the Operative Documents.




                                      59
<PAGE>   67

         (g) Action of Affected Funding Parties. Each Funding Party agrees to
use reasonable efforts (including reasonable efforts to change the booking
office for its Loans) to avoid or minimize any illegality pursuant to Section
7.5(a) or any amounts which might otherwise be payable pursuant to Section
7.5(c) or (d); provided, however, that such efforts shall not cause the
imposition on such Funding Party of any additional costs or legal or regulatory
burdens reasonably deemed by such Funding Party to be material and shall not be
deemed by such Funding Party to be otherwise contrary to its policies. In the
event that such reasonable efforts are insufficient to avoid all such
illegality or all amounts that might be payable pursuant to Section 7.5(c) or
(d), then such Funding Party (the "Affected Funding Party") shall use its
reasonable efforts to transfer to any other Funding Party (which itself is not
then an Affected Funding Party) its Loans and Commitment, subject to the
provisions of Section 6.2; provided, however, that such transfer shall not be
deemed by such Affected Funding Party, in its sole discretion, to be
disadvantageous to it or contrary to its policies. In the event that the
Affected Funding Party is unable, or otherwise is unwilling, so to transfer its
Loans and Commitment, DAP SUB may designate an alternate lender (reasonably
acceptable to the Agent) to purchase the Affected Funding Party's Loans and
Commitment, at par and including accrued interest, and, subject to the
provisions of Section 6.2, the Affected Funding Party shall transfer its
Commitment to such alternate lender and such alternate lender shall become a
Funding Party hereunder. Any fee payable to the Agent pursuant to Section 6.2
in connection with such transfer shall be for the account of DAP and the
Lessees.

         SECTION 7.6 End of Term Indemnity. In the event that at the end of the
Lease Term for the Leased Properties: (i) the related Lessee elects the option
set forth in Section 14.6 of the Lease, and (ii) after the Lessor receives the
sales proceeds from the Leased Properties under Section 14.6 or 14.7 of the
Lease, together with Lessees' payment of the Recourse Deficiency Amount, the
Lessor shall not have received the entire Lease Balance, then, within 90 days
after the end of the Lease Term, the Lessor or the Agent may obtain, at
Lessees' sole cost and expense, a report from the Appraiser (or, if the
Appraiser is not available, another appraiser reasonably satisfactory to the
Lessor or the Agent, as the case may be, and approved by DAP SUB, such approval
not to be unreasonably withheld) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Lessor and the Agent (the "Report") to establish the reason for any
decline in value of the Leased Properties from the Lease Balance. The Lessees,
jointly and severally, shall promptly reimburse the Lessor for the amount equal
to such decline in value to the extent that the Report indicates that such
decline was due to

         (v) during the time while any property was a Leased Property,
extraordinary use, failure to maintain, to repair, to restore, to rebuild or to
replace as required by the Operative Documents, failure to comply with all
Applicable Laws, failure to use good workmanship with respect to work performed
after the Closing Date related to such Leased Property, method of installation
or removal or maintenance, repair, rebuilding or replacement, or any other
cause or condition within the power of a Lessee to control or




                                      60
<PAGE>   68

effect resulting in the Building failing to be of the type and quality
contemplated by the Appraisal (excepting in each case ordinary wear and tear),
or

         (w) any Alteration made to, or any rebuilding of, any Leased Property
or any part thereof by any Lessee, or

         (x) any restoration or rebuilding carried out by any Lessee or any
condemnation of any portion of any Leased Property pursuant to Article X of the
Lease, or

         (y) any use of any Leased Property or any part thereof by any Lessee
other than as permitted by the Lease, or any act or omission constituting a
breach of any requirement, condition, restriction or limitation set forth in
the related Deed or the related Purchase Agreement, or

         (z) the existence or compliance with any IDB Documentation.


                                 ARTICLE VIII.
                                 MISCELLANEOUS

         SECTION 8.1 Survival of Agreements. The representations, warranties,
covenants, indemnities and agreements of the parties provided for in the
Operative Documents, and the parties' obligations under any and all thereof,
shall survive the execution and delivery of this Master Agreement and any of
the Operative Documents, the transfer of any Land to the Lessor as provided
herein (and shall not be merged into any Deed), any disposition of any interest
of the Lessor in any Leased Property, the purchase and sale of the Notes,
payment therefor and any disposition thereof and shall be and continue in
effect notwithstanding any investigation made by any party hereto or to any of
the other Operative Documents and the fact that any such party may waive
compliance with any of the other terms, provisions or conditions of any of the
Operative Documents.

         SECTION 8.2 Notices. Unless otherwise specified herein, all notices,
requests, demands or other communications to or upon the respective parties
hereto shall be addressed to such parties at the addresses therefor as set
forth in Schedule 8.2, or such other address as any such party shall specify to
the other parties hereto, and shall be deemed to have been given (i) the
Business Day after being sent, if sent by overnight courier service; (ii) the
Business Day received, if sent by messenger; (iii) the day sent, if sent by
facsimile and confirmed electronically or otherwise during business hours of a
Business Day (or on the next Business Day if otherwise sent by facsimile and
confirmed electronically or otherwise); or (iv) three Business Days after being
sent, if sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid.

<PAGE>   69

         SECTION 8.3 Counterparts. This Master Agreement may be executed by the
parties hereto in separate counterparts (including by facsimile), each of which
when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts
shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

         SECTION 8.4 Amendments. No Operative Document nor any of the terms
thereof may be terminated, amended, supplemented, waived or modified with
respect to DAP SUB, any Lessee or any Funding Party, except (a) in the case of
a termination, amendment, supplement, waiver or modification to be binding on
the Lessees, with the written agreement or consent of DAP SUB, and (b) in the
case of a termination, amendment, supplement, waiver or modification to be
binding on the Funding Parties, with the written agreement or consent of the
Required Funding Parties; provided, however, that

         (x) notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.4 or
clause (y) below, the consent of each Funding Party affected thereby shall be
required for any amendment, modification or waiver directly:

                  (i)    modifying any of the provisions of this Section 8.4,
         changing the definition of "Required Funding Parties" or "Required
         Lenders", or increasing the Commitment of such Funding Party;

                  (ii)   amending, modifying, waiving or supplementing any of
         the provisions of Section 3 of the Loan Agreement or the
         representations of such Funding Party in Section 4.3 or 4.4 or the
         covenants of such Funding Party in Section 6 of this Master Agreement;

                  (iii)  reducing any amount payable to such Funding Party
         under the Operative Documents or extending the time for payment of any
         such amount, including, without limitation, any Rent, any Funded
         Amount, any fees, any indemnity, any Leased Property Balance, the
         Lease Balance, any Funding Party Balance, the Recourse Deficiency
         Amount, interest or Yield; or

                  (iv)   consenting to any extension of the Lease Term,
         releasing any of the collateral assigned to the Agent and the Lenders
         pursuant to any Mortgage and any Assignment of Lease and Rents (but
         excluding a release of any rights that the Lenders may have in any
         Leased Property, or the proceeds thereof as contemplated in the
         definition of "Release Date"), releasing any Lessee from its
         obligations in respect of the payments of Rent and the Lease Balance,
         releasing DAP SUB from its obligations under the Operative Documents
         or changing the absolute and unconditional character of any such
         obligation; and




                                      62
<PAGE>   70

         (y) no such termination, amendment, supplement, waiver or modification
shall, without the written agreement or consent of the Lessor, the Agent and
the Required Lenders, be made to the Lease or any Security Agreement and
Assignment; and

         (z) subject to the foregoing clauses (x) and (y), so long as no Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lessor, the Agent and the
Lenders may not amend, supplement, waive or modify any terms of the Loan
Agreement, the Notes, the Mortgages and the Assignments of Lease and Rents
without the consent of DAP SUB (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed); provided that in no event may any Operative Document be amended so as
to increase the obligations of DAP or any Lessee, or deprive DAP or any Lessee
of any rights thereunder, without the written consent of DAP SUB.

         SECTION 8.5 Headings, etc. The Table of Contents and headings of the
various Articles and Sections of this Master Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and shall not modify, define, expand or limit any of the terms
or provisions hereof.

         SECTION 8.6 Parties in Interest. Except as expressly provided herein,
none of the provisions of this Master Agreement is intended for the benefit of
any Person except the parties hereto and their respective successors and
permitted assigns.

         SECTION 8.7 GOVERNING LAW. THIS MASTER AGREEMENT HAS BEEN DELIVERED
IN, AND SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH,
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE

VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE.

         SECTION 8.8 Expenses. Whether or not the transactions herein
contemplated are consummated, each of DAP and the Lessees, jointly and
severally, agrees to pay, as Supplemental Rent, all actual, reasonable and
documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Lessor, the Agent and the
Lenders in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the
Operative Documents and the documents and instruments referred to therein and
any amendment, waiver or consent relating thereto (including, without
limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of Mayer, Brown & Platt, but
not including any fees and disbursements for any other outside counsel
representing any Lender) and of the Lessor, the Agent and the Lenders in
connection with endeavoring to enforce the Operative Documents and the
documents and instruments referred to therein (including, without limitation,
the reasonable fees actually incurred and disbursements of counsel for the
Lessor, the Agent and the Lenders), unless such enforcement action is finally
denied by a court on the merits. All references in the Operative Documents to
"attorneys' fees" or "reasonable attorneys fees" shall mean reasonable
attorneys' fees actually incurred, without regard to any statutory definition
thereof.

<PAGE>   71

         SECTION 8.9 Severability. Any provision of this Master Agreement that
is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate
or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

         SECTION 8.10 Liabilities of the Funding Parties: Sharing of Payments.
(a) No Funding Party shall have any obligation to any other Funding Party or to
the Guarantor or any Lessee with respect to the transactions contemplated by
the Operative Documents except those obligations of such Funding Party
expressly set forth in the Operative Documents or except as set forth in the
instruments delivered in connection therewith, and no Funding Party shall be
liable for performance by any other party hereto of such other party's
obligations under the Operative Documents except as otherwise so set forth. No
Lender shall have any obligation or duty to DAP or any Lessee, any other
Funding Parties or any other Person with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby except to the extent of the obligations and duties
expressly set forth in this Master Agreement or the Loan Agreement.

         (b) If any Funding Party shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary
or involuntary, or through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise)
on account of the Advances made by it in excess of its ratable share of
payments on account of the Advances obtained by all the Funding Parties, such
Funding Parties shall forthwith purchase from the other Funding Parties such
participations in the Advances owed to them as shall be necessary to cause such
purchasing Funding Party to share the excess payment ratably with each of them,
provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is
thereafter recovered from such purchasing Funding Party, such purchase from
each Funding Party shall be rescinded and such Funding Party shall repay to the
purchasing Funding Party the purchase price to the extent of such Funding
Party's ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of the
participation purchased from such Funding Party as a result of such excess
payment to (ii) the total amount of such excess payment) of such recovery
together with an amount equal to such Funding Party's ratable share (according
to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Funding Party's required repayment
to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Funding Party) of any
interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Funding Party in
respect of the total amount so recovered. Each Funding Party agrees that any
Funding Party so purchasing a participation from another Funding Party pursuant
to this Section 8.10 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all
its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Funding Party were the direct creditor of
such Funding Party in the amount of such participation.

         SECTION 8.11 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each party hereto
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:




                                      64
<PAGE>   72

                  (i)    submits for itself and its property in any legal
         action or proceeding relating to this Master Agreement or any other
         Operative Document, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment
         in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the
         Courts of the State of Florida sitting in Hillsborough or Polk County,
         the courts of the United States of America for the Middle District of
         Florida, and appellate courts from any thereof;

                  (ii)   consents that any such action or proceedings may be
