                             NATURE OF TRANSACTION

         SECTION 2.1      Agreement to Acquire, Construct, Fund and Lease.

                 (a)  Land.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Master
Agreement, with respect to each parcel of Land, on the related Closing Date (i)
the Lessor agrees to acquire such interest in the related Land from the
applicable Seller as is transferred, sold, assigned and conveyed to the Lessor
pursuant to the applicable Purchase Agreement, (ii) the Lessor hereby agrees to

hereby agrees to lease such Land from the Lessor pursuant to the Lease.

                 (b)  Building.  With respect to each parcel of Land,
subject to the terms and conditions of this Master Agreement, from and after
the Closing Date relating to such Land (i) the Construction Agent agrees,
pursuant to the terms of the Construction Agency Agreement, to construct and
install the Building on such Land for the Lessor prior to the Scheduled
Construction Termination Date, (ii) the Lenders and the Lessor agree to fund

interest and yield thereon), (iii) the Lessor shall lease such Building as part
of such Leased Property to the Lessee pursuant to the Lease, and (iv) the
Lessee shall lease such Building from the Lessor pursuant to the Lease.

         SECTION 2.2      Fundings of Purchase Price, Development Costs and
Construction Costs.

                 (a)  Initial Funding and Payment of Purchase Price for Land
and Development Costs on Closing Date.  Subject to the terms and conditions of
this Master Agreement, on the Closing Date for any Land, each Lender shall make
available to the Lessor its initial Loan with respect to such Land in an amount
equal to the product of such Lender's Commitment Percentage times the purchase
price for the Land and the development, transaction and closing costs incurred
by the Lessee through such Closing Date, which funds the Lessor shall use,
together with Lessor funds in an amount equal to the product of the Lessor's
Commitment Percentage times the purchase price for the related Land and the
development, transaction and closing costs incurred by the Lessee, as agent,
through such Closing Date, to purchase the Land from the applicable Seller
pursuant to the applicable Purchase







                                       2

Agreement and to pay to the Lessee the amount of such development, transaction
and closing costs, and the Lessor shall lease such Land to the Lessee pursuant
to the Lease.

                 (b)      Subsequent Fundings and Payments of Construction
Costs during Construction Term.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Master Agreement, on each Funding Date following the Closing Date for each
parcel of Land until the related Construction Term Expiration Date, (i) each
Lender shall 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 Lessee for such Funding Date, which funds the Lessor hereby
directs the Lender to pay over to the Lessee as set forth in paragraph (d), and
(ii) the Lessor shall pay over to the Lessee 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
Lessee for such Funding Date.

                 (c)      Aggregate Limits on Funded Amounts.  The aggregate
amount that the Funding Parties shall be committed to provide as Funded Amounts
under this Master Agreement, the Loan Agreement and the Lease Participation
Agreement shall not exceed (x) with respect to each Leased Property the costs
of purchase and construction of such Leased Property and the related closing
and financing costs, or (y) $22,000,000 in the aggregate for all Leased
Properties.  The aggregate amount that any Funding Party shall be committed to
fund under this Master Agreement, the Lease Participation 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, the Lessee shall give the Lessor and the Agent an irrevocable
prior written notice not later than 12:00 noon, Atlanta, Georgia, two 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 subsequent Funding Date, as
the case may be, the amount of Funding requested, 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








                                       3
<PAGE>

Lessor, the Lessee and the Agent. Each Funding shall occur on a Business Day
and shall be in an amount equal to $250,000 or an integral multiple of $25,000
in excess thereof. All remittances 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 Lessee, with receipt by the Lessee not later than 1:00
p.m., 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 pay the Lessee development, transaction and closing costs related to such
Land, and (2) in the case of each subsequent Funding in respect of a
Construction Land Interest be used to pay to the Lessee as the Construction
Agent for the payment or reimbursement of Construction costs.

                 (e)  Lessee's Deemed Representation for Each Funding.
Each Funding Request by the Lessee shall be deemed a reaffirmation of the
Lessee's indemnity obligations in favor of the Indemnitees under the Operative
Documents and a representation by the Lessee to the Lessor, the Agent, the
Lease Participant 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
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 the
Lessee reasonably believes will be due in the 90 days following such Funding
from the Lessee to third parties in respect of the Construction, or amounts
paid by the Lessee to third parties in respect of the Construction for which
the Lessee 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 of the 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)  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 an amount in excess of such Funding Party's Commitment
Percentage of any




                                       4
<PAGE>

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

         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 a rate equal to
the sum of (i) the LIBOR Rate, plus (ii) the Applicable Margin per annum, in
each case, 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, in each case from the date of nonpayment
until paid in full (as well after as before judgment).  Any change in the Yield
rate on the Lessor's Invested Amounts resulting from a change in the
Alternative Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the
day on which such Alternative Rate changes as provided in the definition
thereof.

                 (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 paying
accrued interest, on such Payment Date, so long as no Event of Default or
Potential Event of Default then exists, each Lender's Funded Amount in respect
of a Construction Land Interest shall automatically be increased by the amount
of interest accrued on the related Loans pursuant to the Loan Agreement during
the quarter 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 Lessee shall pay such
excess amount to such Lender in immediately available funds).  Similarly,
during the Construction Term, in lieu of paying accrued Yield, on such Payment
Date, so long as no Event of Default then exists, the Lessor's Invested Amount
in respect of such Construction Land Interest shall automatically be increased
by the amount of Yield accrued on the Lessor's Invested Amount in respect of
such Land during the quarter 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 Lessee
shall pay such excess amount to the Lessor in immediately available funds).
Such increases in Funded





                                       5

Amounts shall occur without any disbursement of funds by the Funding Parties.

Period, the Lessee shall deliver to the Lessor and the Agent a notice
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 the Rent Periods therefor,
provided that no such allocation shall be in an amount less than $250,000.
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 Lessee and the Funding Parties that
for federal, state and local tax purposes (A) the Lessee owns such Leased
Property and will be entitled to all tax benefits ordinarily available to an
owner of property similar to such Leased Property, (B) the Lease will be
treated as a financing arrangement, and (C) the Lessor will be treated as a
lender making loans to the Lessee.  Nevertheless, the Lessee acknowledges and
agrees that no Funding Party or 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 the 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 Lessee and the Funding Parties that:  (i) the amount
and timing of Basic Rent due and payable from time to time from the Lessee
under the Lease shall be equal to the aggregate payments due and payable with
respect to interest on, and principal of, the Loans in respect of such Leased
Property and Yield on, and principal of, the Lessor's Invested Amounts, if any,
in respect of such Leased Property on each Payment Date; (ii) if the 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 Lessee owing to the Funding Parties in respect of the
Leased Property shall be paid in full by the Lessee; (iii) if the Lessee
properly elects



                                       6
<PAGE>

the Remarketing Option, the principal amount of, and accrued interest on, the A
Loans and the A Percentage of the Lessor's Invested Amounts in respect of such
Leased Property, if any, will be paid out of the Recourse Deficiency Amount,
and the Lessee shall only be required to pay to the Lenders in respect of the
principal amount of the B Loans in respect of such Leased Property and to the
Lessor in respect of the B Percentage of the Lessor's Invested Amounts in
respect of such Leased Property, if any, the proceeds of the sale of such
Leased Property; and (iv) upon an Event of Default resulting in an acceleration
of the Lessee's obligation to purchase such Leased Property under the Lease,
the amounts then due and payable by the Lessee under the Lease shall include
all amounts necessary to pay in full the Loans in respect of such Leased
Property, and accrued interest thereon, the Lessor's Invested Amounts in
respect of such Leased Property, if any, and accrued Yield thereon and all
other obligations of the Lessee owing to the Funding Parties in respect of such
Leased Property.

                 firm's Environmental Audit of such Land, it being understood
                 that the Lessor's and the Agent's acceptance of any such
                 Environmental Audit shall not release or impair the Lessee's
                 obligations under the Operative Documents with respect to any
                 environmental liabilities relating to such Leased Property.

                 Agent, the Lease Participant and the Lenders as additional
                 insured or loss payee with respect to such insurance), in form
                 and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor and the

in the applicable jurisdiction), in each case, effective as of a date not
earlier than the date of completion of the Construction, and (2) a certificate
of the Architect dated at or about the Completion Date, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, the Lessor and the Lenders, and stating

Permitted Liens.

                 (c)      Lessee Certification.  The Lessee shall have
furnished the Lessor, the Agent, the Lease Participant and each Lender with a
certification of the Lessee (substantially in the form of Exhibit H) that:

                          (i)    all amounts owing to third parties for the
         related Construction have been paid in full (other than contingent
         obligations for which the Lessee has made adequate reserves), and no
         litigation or proceedings are pending, or to the best of the Lessee's
         knowledge, are threatened, against such Leased Property or the Lessee
         which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

                          (ii)   all consents, licenses and permits and other
         governmental authorizations or approvals required for such

         utilities and means of access between the related Building and public
         highways for pedestrians and motor vehicles;

                          (iv) all material agreements, easements and other
         rights, public or private, which are necessary to permit the lawful
         use and operation of such Leased Property as the Lessee intends to use
         the Leased Property under the Lease and which are necessary to permit
         the lawful intended use and operation of all then intended utilities,
         driveways, roads and other means of egress and ingress to and from the

         Lessee has no knowledge of any pending modification or cancellation of
         any of the same; and the use of such Leased Property does not depend

                                   SECTION 4
                                REPRESENTATIONS

         SECTION 4.1      Representations of Lessee.  Effective as of the date
of execution hereof, as of each Closing Date and as of each Funding Date, the
Lessee represents and warrants to each of the other parties hereto as follows:

                 (a)      Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law.  The Lessee
is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under
the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation.  The Lessee (i) has the
corporate power and authority and the legal right to own and operate its
property and to conduct its business, (ii) is duly qualified as a foreign
corporation and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its
ownership of property or the conduct of its business requires such
qualification, and (iii) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law, except
where the failure




                                      17
<PAGE>

to duly qualify or to comply with applicable Requirements of Law would not have
a Material Adverse Effect.

                 (b)      Corporate Power; Authorization.  The Lessee has the
corporate power and authority to make, deliver and perform the Operative
Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary corporate action
to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of such Operative
Documents.  No consent or authorization of, or filing with, any Person
(including, without limitation, any governmental authority), is required in
connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Lessee, or the
validity or enforceability against the Lessee, of the Operative Documents,
other than such consents, authorizations or filings which have been made or
obtained.

                 (c)      Enforceable Obligations.  This Agreement and each
other Operative Document to which the Lessee is a party has been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by the Lessee, and this Agreement and each
other Operative Document to which the Lessee is a party constitute legal, valid
and binding obligations of the Lessee enforceable against the Lessee in
accordance with their respective terms, except as may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting
the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general principles of
equity.

                 (d)      No Contractual or Legal Bar.  The execution, delivery
and performance by the Lessee of the Operative Documents to which it is a party
(i) will not contravene any material provision of any Requirement of Law, (ii)
will not conflict with or be inconsistent with or result in any breach of, or
constitute a default under, any Contractual Obligations of any Consolidated
Company that would result in liability to the Lessee of $500,000 or more in the
aggregate or otherwise result in a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) will not
violate any provision of the certificate of incorporation (or equivalent
thereof) or bylaws (or equivalent thereof) of the Lessee, (iv) will not require
the consent, approval or authorization of any governmental or non-governmental
authority or Person and (v) will not result in the creation of any Lien upon
the assets or properties of the Lessee and its Subsidiaries, other than those
Liens permitted under Section 5.2(a).

                 (e)      No Material Litigation or Investigations.  No
litigation, investigations or proceedings of or before any courts, tribunals,
arbitrators or governmental authorities are pending or, to the knowledge of the
Lessee threatened by or




                                      18
<PAGE>

against any of the Consolidated Companies, or against any of their respective
properties or rights, existing or future (i) with respect to any Operative
Document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (ii)
which, if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

                 (f)      Investment Company Act, Etc.  None of the Consolidated
Companies is an "investment company" or a company "controlled" by an
"investment company" (as each of the quoted terms is defined or used in the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended).  None of the Consolidated
Companies is subject to regulation under the Public Utility Holding Company Act
of 1935, the Federal Power Act, or any foreign, federal or local statute or
regulation limiting its ability to incur indebtedness for money borrowed,
guarantee such indebtedness, or pledge its assets to secure such indebtedness,
as contemplated hereby or by any other Operative Document.

                 (g)      Margin Regulations.  No part of the proceeds of any
of the Funded Amounts will be used for any purpose which violates, or which
would be inconsistent or not in compliance with, the provisions of the
applicable Margin Regulations.

                 (h)      Insurance.  The Lessee currently maintains insurance
with respect to its properties and businesses, with financially sound and
reputable insurers, having coverages against losses or damages of the kinds
customarily insured against by reputable companies in the same or similar
businesses, such insurance being the types, and in amounts no less than those
amounts which are, customary for such companies under similar circumstances;
provided, however, that the Lessee may self insure in amounts satisfactory to
management, subject to the provisions of Section 5.1(f). The Consolidated
Companies have paid all material amounts of insurance premiums now due and
owing with respect to such insurance policies and coverages (it being
understood that insurance premiums for certain insurance policies and coverages
may permit payment on a quarterly basis), and such policies and coverages are
in full force and effect.

                 (i)      No Default.  None of the Consolidated Companies is in
default under or with respect to any material Contractual Obligation in any
respect.

                 (j)      No Burdensome Restrictions.  None of the Consolidated
Companies is a party to or bound by any Contractual Obliga-




                                      19
<PAGE>


tion or Requirement of Law which has had or would reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

                 (k)      Taxes. Each of the Consolidated Companies has
filed or caused to be filed all declarations, reports and tax returns which are
required to have been filed, and has paid all taxes, custom duties, levies,
charges and similar contributions ("taxes" in this Section 4.1(k) shown to be
due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or its
properties, and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of
its properties by any governmental authority (other than those the amount or
validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have
been provided in its books or where the aggregate sum of taxes unpaid is less
than $500,000); and no tax liens have been filed and, to the knowledge of the
Lessee, no claims are being asserted with respect to any such taxes, fees or
other charges.

                 (l)      Subsidiaries.  Schedule 4.1(l) accurately describes
as of the initial Closing Date (1) the complete name of each Subsidiary of the
Lessee, (2) the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of each
Subsidiary of the Lessee, (3) the ownership of all issued and outstanding
Capital Stock of each Subsidiary of the Lessee and (4) whether such Subsidiary
is a Material Subsidiary.  Except as disclosed on Schedule 4.1(l), the Lessee
has no Subsidiaries and neither the Lessee nor any Subsidiary is a joint
venture partner or general partner in any partnership. Each of the Subsidiaries
is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, is duly qualified to transact
business in every jurisdiction where the failure to so qualify would have a
Material Adverse Effect, and has all corporate powers and all governmental
licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its
business as now as now conducted in each case where the failure to have the
same would have a Material Adverse Effect.

                 (m)      Financial Statements.   The unaudited pro forma
balance sheet of the Consolidated Companies as of March 31, 1997 (after giving
effect to the SpinOff), setting forth the pro forma financial position of the
Consolidated Companies, a copy of which has been delivered to the Funding
Parties, fairly presents, on a pro forma basis, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles, the financial position of the Consolidated
Companies as of such date and time.  The Consolidated Companies do not have any
material contingent obligations, contingent liabilities or




                                      20
<PAGE>

other obligations which are not reflected in the balance sheet referenced above
(the "Pro Forma Financial Statements"). Since March 31, 1997, there have been
no changes with respect to the Consolidated Companies which has had or would
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                 (n)  ERISA.

                 (i)(1)  Identification of Plans.  (A) None of the Consolidated
Companies nor any of their respective ERISA Affiliates maintains or contributes
to, or has during the past two years maintained or contributed to, any Plan
that is subject to Title IV of ERISA other than the Equifax Inc. U.S.
Retirement Income Plan, and (B) none of the Consolidated Companies maintains or
contributes to any Foreign Plan other than the Equifax Europe (U.K.) Ltd.
Pension Plan;

                 (2)  Compliance.  Each Plan and each Foreign Plan maintained
by the Consolidated Companies have at all times been maintained, by their terms
and in operation, in compliance with all applicable laws, and the Consolidated
Companies are subject to no tax or penalty with respect to any Plan maintained
or contributed to by such Consolidated Company or any ERISA Affiliate thereof,
including without limitation, any tax or penalty under Title I or Title IV of
ERISA or under Chapter 43 of the Tax Code, or any tax or penalty resulting from
a loss of deduction under Sections 404, or 419 of the Tax Code, where the
failure to comply with such laws, and such taxes and penalties, together with
all other liabilities referred to in this Section 4.1(n) (taken as a whole),
would in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect;

                 (3)  Liabilities.  The Consolidated Companies are subject to
no liabilities (including withdrawal liabilities) with respect to any Plans or
Foreign Plans maintained or contributed to by such Consolidated Companies or
any of their ERISA Affiliates, including without limitation, any liabilities
arising from Titles I or IV of ERISA, other than obligations to fund benefits
under an ongoing such Plan and to pay current contributions, expenses and
premiums with respect to such Plans or Foreign Plans, where such liabilities,
together with all other liabilities referred to in this Section 4.1(n) (taken
as a whole), would in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect;

                 (4)  Funding.  The Consolidated Companies and, with respect to
any Plan which is subject to Title IV of ERISA, each of their respective ERISA
Affiliates, have made full and timely




                                      21
<PAGE>

payment of all amounts (A) required to be contributed by any of them under the
terms of each Plan and applicable law, and (B) required to be paid as expenses
by any of them (including PBGC or other premiums) of each Plan, where the
failure to pay such amounts (when taken as a whole, including any penalties
attributable to such amounts) would have a Material Adverse Effect. No Plan
maintained by a Consolidated Company subject to Title IV of ERISA has an
"amount of unfunded benefit liabilities" (as defined in Section 4001(a)(18) of
ERISA, determined as if such Plan terminated on any date on which this
representation and warranty is deemed made, in any amount which, together with
all other liabilities referred to in this Section 4.1(n) (taken as a whole),
would have a Material Adverse Effect if such amount were then due and payable.
The Consolidated Companies are subject to no liabilities with respect to
post-retirement medical benefits other than those accrued on the Lessee's
financial statements.

                 (ii) With respect to any Foreign Plan, reasonable reserves
have been established in accordance with prudent business practice or where
required by ordinary accounting practices in the jurisdiction where the Foreign
Subsidiary maintains its principal place of business or in which the Foreign
Plan is maintained.  The aggregate unfunded liabilities, after giving effect to
any reserves for such liabilities, with respect to such Foreign Plans, together
with all other liabilities referred to in this Section 4.1(n) (taken as a
whole), would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

                 (o)  Possession of Franchises, Licenses, Etc.  Each of the
Consolidated Companies possesses all franchises, certificates, licenses,
permits and other authorizations from governmental political subdivisions or
regulatory authorities, that are necessary in any material respect for the
ownership, maintenance and operation of its properties and assets, and none of
the Consolidated Companies is in violation of any thereof in any material
respect.

                 (p)  Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Etc.  (i) The Consolidated
Companies have obtained and hold in full force and effect all patents,
trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and other such
rights, free from burdensome restrictions, which are necessary for the
operation of their respective businesses as presently conducted and where the
result of a failure to obtain and hold such patents, trademarks, service marks,
trade names, copyrights, licenses and other such rights would have a Material
Adverse Effect, and (ii) to the best of the Lessee's knowledge, no product,
process, method, service or other




                                      22
<PAGE>

item presently sold by or employed by any Consolidated Company in connection
with such business infringes any patents, trademark, service mark, trade name,
copyright, license or other right owned by any other person and there is not
presently pending, or to the knowledge of the Lessee, threatened, any claim or
litigation against or affecting any Consolidated Company contesting such
Person's right to sell or use any such product, process, method, substance or
other item where the result of such failure to obtain and hold such benefits or
such infringement would have a Material Adverse Effect.

                 (q)  Ownership of Property.  Each Consolidated Company has
good and marketable fee simple title to or a valid leasehold interest in all of
its real property and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all of
its other material assets, as such properties are reflected in the most recent
financial statements (including the Pro Forma Financial Statements) delivered
by the Lessee to the Agent, other than properties disposed of in the ordinary
course of business since such date or as otherwise permitted by the terms of
this Agreement, subject to no Lien or title defect of any kind, except Liens
permitted under Section 5.2(a).  The Consolidated Companies enjoy peaceful and
undisturbed possession under all of their respective leases.

                 (r)  Financial Condition.  On each Closing Date and after
giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other
Operative Documents, including without limitation, the use of the proceeds of
the Funded Amounts as provided in Section 2.2, the Lessee is Solvent.

                 (s)  Labor Matters.  The Consolidated Companies have
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 the Lessee, there are no
such strikes, disputes, slow downs or work stoppages threatened against any
Consolidated Company which if they occurred, would reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.  The hours worked and payment made to employees
of the Consolidated Companies have not been in violation in any material
respect of the Fair Labor Standards Act (in the case of Consolidated Companies
that are not Foreign Subsidiaries) or any other applicable law dealing with
such matters.  All payments due from the Consolidated Companies, 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 the Consolidated Companies in all






                                      23
<PAGE>

jurisdictions where the failure to pay or accrue such liabilities would
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                 (t)  Payment or Dividend Restrictions.  None of the
Consolidated Companies is party to or subject to any agreement or understanding
restricting or limiting the payment of any dividends or other distributions by
any such Consolidated Company, other than CDB/Infotek.

                 (u)  Outstanding Indebtedness.  Schedule 4.1(u) lists all
outstanding Indebtedness of the Consolidated Companies as of March 31, 1997,
and since March 31, 1997, no additional material indebtedness has been incurred
by the Consolidated Companies.  There exists no default under the provisions of
any instrument evidencing or securing Indebtedness of the Lessee or any of its
Subsidiaries or of any agreement otherwise relating thereto which has had or
would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                 (v)  Disclosure.  No representation or warranty contained in
this Agreement (including the Schedules attached hereto) or in any other
document furnished from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,

business in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws in each case
where the failure to comply would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

         SECTION 5.5  Environmental Release.  The Lessee agrees that upon the
occurrence of an Environmental Release at or on any of the Properties owned by
it or any Consolidated Subsidiary, it will take appropriate action required by
applicable law, except




                                      44
<PAGE>

in such cases where the failure to take such action would not have a Material
Adverse Effect.

         SECTION 5.6      Further Assurances.  Upon the written request of the
Lessor or the Agent, the Lessee, at its own cost and expense, will cause all
financing statements (including precautionary financing statements), fixture
filings and other similar documents, to be recorded or filed at such places and
times in such manner, as may be necessary to preserve, protect and perfect the
interest of the Lessor, the Agent, the Lease Participant and the Lenders in the
related Leased Property as contemplated by the Operative Documents.

         SECTION 5.7      Additional Required Appraisals.  If, as a result of
any change in Applicable Law after the date hereof, an appraisal of all or any
of the Leased Property is required during the Lease Term under Applicable Law
with respect to any Funding Party's interest therein, such Funding Party's
Funded Amount with respect thereto or the Operative Documents, then the Lessee
shall pay the reasonable cost of such appraisal.

                                   SECTION 6
                        TRANSFERS BY LESSOR AND LENDERS

         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 (except pursuant to the Lease Participation
Agreement and Article V of the Lease) or any of the Operative Documents without
the prior written consent of the Lenders and the Lessee, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, provided that the Lessor may make any such
assignment, conveyance or transfer to any other Funding Party or any Affiliate
of any Funding Party, without such consent and provided further that such
assignee is not a special purpose entity, has substantial activities other than
the leasing of the Leased Property to the Lessee, and has substantial assets
other than its rights to the Leased Property, and, if such assignee is not a
United States citizen or resident (or the assignee is filing as a foreign
corporation, partnership, estate or trust), such assignee shall deliver to the
Agent and the Lessee Internal Revenue Service form 1001 or 4224, as
appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service.
Any proposed transferee of the Lessor shall make the representation set forth
in Section 4.2(b) to the other parties hereto.

         SECTION 6.2  Loan Agreement; Lender Transfers.  The Lessor may enter
into the Loan Agreement with a Lender or Lenders who are Eligible Assignees and
would qualify as an assignee of a Lender under this Section 6.2.  No Lender may
grant participations in its Commitment or sell Loans or participations in its
Loan and Commitment to any Person (other than an Affiliate) without the prior
written consent of the Lessee, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.  Any approved participation buyer shall not receive voting or waiver
rights except with respect to postponing maturities, decreasing interest rates,
releasing all or substantially all of the collateral or increasing principal
amounts. Assignments will be permitted only with the prior written consent of
the Lessee and the Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
obtained at least 14 days prior to any proposed assignment, and the payment of
a processing fee of $2,500 by the assignor or assignee Lender (as agreed
between such Persons) to the Agent. Any such assignment shall be to an Eligible
Assignee, shall be of an amount not less than $5,000,000, and if the assignee
is not a United States citizen or resident (or the assignee is filing as a
foreign corporation, partnership, estate or trust), the assignee shall deliver
to the Agent, the Lessor and the Lessee Internal Revenue Service form 1001 or
4224, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue
Service. Assignments shall be evidenced by an assignment and assumption
agreement in substantially the form set forth as Exhibit J.

         defects, whether or not discoverable, (3) any Claim based upon a
         violation or alleged violation of the terms of any restriction,
         easement, condition or covenant or other matter affecting title to any
         Leased Property or any part thereof, (4) the making of any Alterations
         in violation of any standards imposed by any insurance policies
         required to be maintained by the Lessee pursuant to the Lease
         which are in effect at any time with respect to any Leased Property or
         any part thereof, (5) any Claim for patent, trademark or copyright
         infringement, (6) Claims arising from any public improvements with
         respect to any Leased Property resulting in any charge or special
         assessments being levied against any Leased Property or any Claim for
         utility "tap-in" fees, and (7) Claims for personal injury or real or

                 (f)      the retaining or employment of any broker, finder or
         financial advisor by the Lessee to act on its behalf in connection

                                      47
<PAGE>

         Lease Participant or any Lender might be subjected by virtue of their
         entering into the transactions contemplated by this Master Agreement;

                 (g)      the existence of any Lien on or with respect to any
         Leased Property, the Construction, any Basic Rent or Supplemental
         Rent, title thereto, or any interest therein, including any Liens
         which arise out of the possession, use, occupancy, construction,
         repair or rebuilding of any Leased Property or by reason of labor or
         materials furnished or claimed to have been furnished to the Lessee,
         or any of its contractors or agents or by reason of the financing of
         any personalty or equipment purchased or leased by the Lessee or
         Alterations constructed by the Lessee, except in all cases the Liens
         listed as items (a) and (b) in the definition of Permitted Liens;

                 (h)      the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other
         Operative Document, in respect of the application of Parts 4 and 5 of
         Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and any prohibited transaction
         described in Section 4975(c) of the Code; or

                 (i)      any act or omission by the Lessee under any Purchase
         Agreement or any other Operative Document, and any breach of any
         requirement, condition, restriction or limitation in any Deed;

(the foregoing being collectively called the "Indemnified Risks"); provided,
however, that no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnity (or any other
payment or reimbursement) for any Indemnified Risks to the extent such
Indemnified Risks result from or arise out of one or more of the following
(collectively, "Excepted Claims"): (1) any representation or warranty by such
Indemnitee in the Operative Documents being incorrect; (2) the willful
misconduct or gross negligence of, or the violation of any law, rule or
regulation binding upon such Indemnitee unless such violation was caused by
some performance or nonperformance on the part of the Lessee; (3)
the failure on the part of the Lessor or the Agent to distribute in accordance
with this Agreement or any other Operative Document any amounts received and
distributable by it under the Operative Documents; (4) claims arising from
Liens (other than Permitted Liens) created by any Indemnitee or anyone claiming
by, through or under any Indemnitee and are not related to the transactions
contemplated by the Operative Documents or are voluntarily created or granted
in violation of the terms of the Operative Documents (in each case





                                      48
<PAGE>

other than through the acts or omissions of the Lessee whether or not in its
capacity as the Lessee or as the Construction Agent); (5) the voluntary
transfer by any Indemnitee, other than in accordance with the Operative
Documents or in connection with the exercise of rights, powers or remedies
under any of the Operative Documents, of any Leased Property or any interest
therein; or (6) claims from any acts or omissions occurring after the latest of
the Lease Termination Date, the sale of the Leased Property to a Person not
affiliated with the Lessee pursuant to the Lease, the termination of the
obligations of the Lessee under the Construction Agency Agreement, or the final
indefeasible repayment to the Funding Parties in full of the Lease Balance. 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, any Lease or any other
Operative Document.

         SECTION 7.2      Environmental Indemnity.  In addition to and without
limitation of Section 7.1, the Lessee agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and
defend each Indemnitee from and against any and all claims (including without
limitation third party claims for personal injury or real or personal property
damage), losses (including but not limited to any loss of value of any Leased
Property), damages, liabilities, fines, penalties, charges, suits, settlements,
demands, administrative and judicial proceedings (including informal
proceedings) 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,
         construction, carried on or undertaken on or off any Land, and whether
         by the Lessee or any predecessor in title or any employees, agents,
         contractors or subcontractors of the Lessee or any predecessor in
         title, or any other Person, in connection with the handling,
         treatment, removal, storage, decontamination, clean-up, transport or
         disposal of any




                                      49
<PAGE>

         Hazardous Materials that at any time are located or present on or
         under or that at any time migrate, flow, percolate, diffuse or in any
         way move onto or under any Land,

                  (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 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 the Lessee or any Affiliate
         thereof owns any interest in or otherwise occupies or possesses any
         Leased Property or any portion thereof,

                 (y)  during any period after and during the continuance of any
         Event of Default or

                 (z)  during any period of up to three years following the date
         an Indemnitee takes possession of any Leased Property and during which
         such Indemnitee retains such possession;




                                      50
<PAGE>

provided, however, the Lessee shall not 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 such Indemnitee; and provided,
further, with respect to matters arising or occurring within the period
described in (z) above, that the Lessee also shall not be required to indemnify
any Indemnitee under this Section 7.2 for any Claim to the extent that such
Claim results from the simple negligence of such 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 the Lessee is requested by an Indemnitee to pay by reason of
Section 7.1 or 7.2, such Indemnitee shall, if so requested by the Lessee and
prior to any payment, submit such additional information to the Lessee as the
Lessee may reasonably request and which is in the possession of such Indemnitee
to substantiate properly the requested payment. In case any action, suit or
proceeding shall be brought against any Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall
notify the Lessee of the commencement thereof, and the Lessee shall be
entitled, at its expense, to participate in, and, to the extent that the 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 Lessee's expense; and provided
further that the Lessee may assume and control the defense of such proceeding
only if the Lessee shall have acknowledged in writing its obligations to fully
indemnify such Indemnitee in respect of such action, suit or proceeding, the
Lessee shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses related to such action, suit
or proceeding as and when incurred and the 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 the Lessee shall not 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 material civil liability on such Indemnitee or (y) such
action, suit or proceeding will involve a material risk of the sale, forfeiture
or loss of, or the creation of any




                                      51
<PAGE>

Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) on any Leased Property or any part thereof
unless the Lessee 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
Lessee which the 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 the Lessee in
accordance with the foregoing.

         If the Lessee fails to fulfill the conditions to the Lessee's assuming
the defense of any claim on or prior to the date that is 15 days prior to the
date that an answer or response is required, the Indemnitee may undertake such
defense, at the Lessee's expense.  The Lessee shall not 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
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 the Lessee, 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 Lessee pursuant to Section
7.1 or 7.2 to or on behalf of an Indemnitee, the Lessee, 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 Lessee and give
such further assurances as are reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the
Lessee 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 30
days after, receipt of a written demand therefor from such Indemnitee,
accompanied by a written statement




                                      52
<PAGE>

describing in reasonable detail the basis for such indemnity and the
computation of the amount so payable.

         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 the 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 the Lessee 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, the Lessee 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, 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, the Lessee, 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




                                      53
<PAGE>

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.

                 (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 Lease Participant 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 the holder of such Note became the
         holder of such Note 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;

                          (ii)  Taxes on, based on, or in the nature of or
         measured by Taxes on doing business, business privilege, franchise,
         capital, capital stock, net worth, or mercantile license 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, the Lease Participant and the Lenders had
         advanced funds to the Lessee 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




                                      54
<PAGE>

         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;

                          (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 or the Lease Participation
         Agreement;

                          (iv)  Taxes that result from any act, event or
         omission, or are attributable to any period of time, that occurs after
         the earliest 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 Lessee's 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 earliest 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 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 property by the Lessee, (B) any sale or transfer resulting from
         the exercise by the 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;




                                      55
<PAGE>

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

                          (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 other
         than those permitted 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 that it is required to file in a proper
         and timely manner, unless such failure (A) results from the
         transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents in circumstances
         where the Lessee did not give timely notice to such Tax Indemnitee
         (and such Tax Indemnitee otherwise had no actual knowledge) of such
         filing requirement that would have permitted a proper and timely
         filing of such return, or (B) results from the failure of the Lessee
         to supply information necessary for the proper and timely filing of
         such return 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 4.2(b) or
         the breach of any Lender of its representation and warranty made in
         Section 4.3(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
Lessee may have an indemnity obligation pursuant to Section 7.4, or if any Tax
Indemnitee shall determine that any Taxes as to which the Lessee may have an
indemnity obligation pursuant to Section 7.4 may be payable, such Tax
Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Lessee.  The Lessee shall be entitled, at
its expense, to participate in, and, to the extent that the Lessee desire to,
assume and control the defense thereof; provided, however, that the Lessee
shall have acknowledged in writing its obligation to fully indemnify such Tax
Indemnitee in respect of such action, suit or proceeding




                                      56
<PAGE>

if the contest is unsuccessful; and, provided further, that the Lessee 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 the Lessee, on behalf of the Lessee with representatives reasonably
satisfactory to the 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
material civil liability 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 the
Lessee shall have posted a bond or other security satisfactory to the relevant
Tax Indemnitees in respect to such risk, (B) such proceeding involves Claims
not fully indemnified by the Lessee which the Lessee 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 Lessee 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 the Lessee shall have provided to such Tax
Indemnitee an opinion of independent tax counsel selected by the Tax Indemnitee
and reasonably satisfactory to the Lessee 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 the Lessee in accordance with the
foregoing.

         Each Tax Indemnitee shall at the Lessee's expense supply the Lessee
with such information and documents in such Tax Indemnitee's possession
reasonably requested by the Lessee as are necessary or advisable for the Lessee
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





                                       57
<PAGE>

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 the Lessee, 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 (and the Lessee shall not be
permitted 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 the Lessee 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 the 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 hereunder or any payment
made to or for the account of such Tax Indemnitee by the Lessee pursuant to
this Section 7.4, such Tax Indemnitee at any time realizes a reduction in any
Taxes for which the Lessee is 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 the Lessee to or for the account of such
Tax Indemnitee, then such Tax Indemnitee shall promptly pay to the Lessee (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 and, provided, further, that the amount payable to the Lessee
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 the Lessee 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






                                      58
<PAGE>

to the reduction in Taxes less the amount of all prior payments made to the
Lessee 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 the Lessee 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 the Lessee under this Section 7.4(d) shall
be treated as a Tax for which the Lessee 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 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 the Lessor, 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 the Lessee are required to
pay, the Lessee shall furnish to such Tax Indemnitee the original or a
certified copy of a receipt for the Lessee's payment of such Tax or such other
evidence of payment as is reasonably acceptable to such Tax Indemnitee.

                 (f)      Reports.  If the 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, the Lessee shall, if the Lessee is
permitted by Applicable Law, timely file such report, return or statement (and,
to the extent permitted by law, show ownership of the applicable Leased
Property in the Lessee); provided, however, that if the Lessee is not permitted
by Applicable Law or does not have access to the information required to file
any such report, return or statement, the Lessee will promptly so notify the
appropriate Tax Indemnitee, in which case Tax Indemnitee will file such




                                      59
<PAGE>

report. In any case in which the Tax Indemnitee will file any such report,
return or statement, the 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 the Lessee.

                 (g)      Verification.  At the Lessee's request, the amount of
any indemnity payment by the Lessee or any payment by a Tax Indemnitee to the
Lessee pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall be verified and certified by an
independent public accounting firm selected by the Lessee and reasonably
acceptable to the Tax Indemnitee.  Unless such verification shall disclose an
error in the Lessee's favor of 5% or more, the costs of such verification shall
be borne by the Lessee.  In no event shall the 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  Interest Rate Not Ascertainable, etc.  In the
event that the Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be made
in good faith and, absent manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and
binding upon all parties) that on any date for determining LIBOR for any Rent
Period, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement
affecting the London interbank market, or the Agent's position in such market,
adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest
rate on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBOR then, and in any such
event, the Agent shall forthwith give notice (by telephone confirmed in
writing) to the Lessee and to the other Funding Parties, of such determination
and a summary of the basis for such determination. Until the Agent notifies the
Lessee that the circumstances giving rise to the suspension described herein no
longer exist, the obligations of the other Funding Parties to make or permit
portions of the Funded Amounts to remain outstanding past the last day of the
then current Rent Periods as LIBOR Advances shall be suspended, and such
affected LIBOR Advances shall bear



                                      60
<PAGE>

interest or accrue yield, as the case may be, at the Alternative Rate (or at
such other rate of interest per annum as the Lessee and each of the Agent and
the other Funding Parties shall have agreed to in writing).

                 SECTION 7.6  Illegality.

                 (a)      In the event that any Funding Party shall have
determined (which determination shall be made in good faith and, absent
manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) at any
time that the making or continuance of any LIBOR Advance has become unlawful by
compliance by such Funding Party in good faith with any applicable law,
governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (whether or not having the
force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful),
then, in any such event, the Funding Party shall give prompt notice (by
telephone confirmed in writing) to the Lessee and to the Agent of such
determination and a summary of the basis for such determination (which notice
the Agent shall promptly transmit to the other Funding Parties).

                 (b)      Upon the giving of the notice to the Lessee referred
to in subsection (a) above, (i) the Lessee's right to request and such Funding
Party's obligation to make LIBOR Advances shall be immediately suspended, and
such Funding Party shall make an Advance as part of the requested Funding of
LIBOR Advances, bearing interest or yield at the Alternative Rate (or at such
other rate of interest per annum as the Lessee and each of the Agent and the
Funding Parties shall have agreed to in writing), which Alternative Rate
Advance shall, for all other purposes, be considered part of such Funding and
(ii) if the affected LIBOR Advance or Advances are then outstanding, Lessee
shall immediately, or if permitted by applicable law, no later than the date
permitted thereby, upon at least one Business Day's written notice to the Agent
and the affected Funding Party, convert each such LIBOR Advance into a Funded
Amount bearing interest or yield at the Alternative Rate, provided that if more
than one Funding Party is affected at any time, then all affected Funding
Parties must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 7.6(b).

                 SECTION 7.7  Increased Costs.

                 (a)      (i) If, by reason of (x) after the date hereof, the
introduction of or any change (including, without limitation, any change by way
of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation
of any law or




                                      61
<PAGE>

regulation, or (y) the compliance with any guideline or request from any
central bank or other governmental authority or quasi-governmental authority
exercising control over banks or financial institutions generally (whether or
not having the force of law):

                          (1)  any Funding Party (or its applicable Funding
         Office) shall be subject to any tax, duty or other charge with respect
         to its LIBOR Advances, or its obligation to make LIBOR Advances, or
         the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender of the principal of or
         interest on its LIBOR Advances or its obligation to make LIBOR
         Advances shall have changed (except for changes in the tax on the
         overall net income of such Funding Party or its applicable Funding
         Office imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Funding Party's
         principal executive office or applicable Funding Office is located);
         or

                          (2)  any reserve (including, without limitation, any
         imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System),
         special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits
         with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Funding Party's
         applicable Funding Office shall be imposed or deemed applicable or any
         other condition affecting its LIBOR Advances, or its obligation to
         make LIBOR Advances shall be imposed on any Funding Party or its
         applicable Funding Office or the London interbank market;

and as a result thereof there shall be any increase in the cost to such Funding
Party of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining LIBOR Advances, or
there shall be a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Funding
Party or its applicable Funding Office, or

         (ii) in the event that any Funding Party shall have determined that
any law, treaty, governmental (or quasi- governmental) rule, regulation,
guideline or order regarding capital adequacy not currently in effect or fully
applicable as of the initial Closing Date, or any change therein or in the
interpretation or application thereof after the initial Closing Date, or
compliance by such Funding Party with any request or directive regarding
capital adequacy not currently in effect or fully applicable as of the initial
Closing Date (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure
to comply therewith would be unlawful) from a central bank or governmental
authority or body having jurisdiction, does or shall have the ef-




                                      62
<PAGE>

fect 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
Funding Party could have achieved but for such law, treaty, rule, regulation,
guideline or order, or 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, in the case of (i) or (ii) above, upon written notice from and demand by
such Funding Party on the Lessee (with a copy of such notice and demand to the
Agent), the Lessee shall pay to the Agent for the account of such Funding Party
within five Business Days after the date of such notice and demand, additional
amounts sufficient to indemnify such Funding Party against such increased cost
or reduced yield. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost or
reduced yield submitted to the Lessee and the Agent by such Funding Party in
good faith and accompanied by a statement prepared by such Funding Party
describing in reasonable detail the basis for and calculation of such increased
cost, shall, except for manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for
all purposes.

                 In addition, if at any time a LIBOR Reserve Percentage greater
than 0% is imposed on any Funding Party, the Lessee shall pay to such Funding
Party additional interest or yield on the unpaid principal amount of the LIBOR
Advances of such Funding Party until such principal amount is paid in full at
an interest rate per annum equal at all times to the quotient obtained (rounded
upwards, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100th of 1%) by dividing (i) the
applicable LIBOR for such LIBOR Advance for such Interest Period by (ii) 1.00
minus the LIBOR Reserve Percentage, payable on each date on which interest is
payable on such LIBOR Advance.  Such additional interest, if any, shall be
determined by such Funding Party and notified to the Lessee through the Agent.

                 (b)      If any Funding Party shall advise the Agent that at
any time, because of the circumstances described in clauses (x) or (y) in
Section 7.7(a) or any other circumstances beyond such Funding Party's
reasonable control arising after the date of this Agreement affecting such
Funding Party or the London interbank market or such Funding Party's position
in such markets, LIBOR as determined by the Agent, will not adequately and
fairly reflect the cost to such Funding Party of funding its LIBOR Advances,
then, and in any such event:




                                      63
<PAGE>

                          (i)    the Agent shall forthwith give notice (by
         telephone confirmed in writing) to the Lessee and to the other Funding
         Parties of such advice;

                          (ii)   the Lessee's right to request and such Funding
         Party's obligation to make or permit portions of the Funded Amounts to
         remain outstanding past the last day of the then current Rent Periods
         as LIBOR Advances shall be immediately suspended; and

                          (iii)  such Funding Party shall make an Advance
         as part of the requested Funding of LIBOR Advances, as the case may
         be, bearing interest or accruing yield at the Alternative Rate (or at
         such other rate of interest per annum as the Lessee and each of the
         Agent and the Funding Parties shall have agreed to in writing), which
         Alternative Rate Advance shall, for all other purposes, be considered
         part of such Funding.

                 (c)      Funding Party shall make written demand on the Lessee
for indemnification or compensation pursuant to this Section 7.7 no later than
60 days after the event giving rise to the claim for indemnification or
compensation occurs.  In the event that any Funding Party fails to give the
Lessee notice within the time limitations prescribed in the foregoing sentence,
the Lessee shall not have any obligation to pay such claim for compensation or
indemnification.

                 SECTION 7.8  Funding Offices.

                 (a) Each Funding Party agrees that, if requested by the
Lessee, it will use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy
considerations of such Funding Party) to designate an alternate Funding Office
with respect to any of its LIBOR Advances affected by the matters or
circumstances described in Sections 7.5, 7.6, or 7.7 to reduce the liability of
the Lessee or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as such
designation is not materially disadvantageous to such Funding Party as
determined by such Funding Party, which determination if made in good faith,
shall be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.  Nothing in this Section
7.8 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Lessee or any right
of any Funding Party provided hereunder.

                 (b) If any Funding Party that is organized under the laws of
any jurisdiction other than the United States of America




                                      64
<PAGE>

or any State thereof (including the District of Columbia) issues a public
announcement with respect to the closing of its lending offices in the United
States such that any withholdings or deductions or additional payments with
respect to Taxes may be required to be made by the Lessee thereafter pursuant
to Section 7.4, such Funding Party shall use reasonable efforts to furnish the
Lessee notice thereof as soon as practicable thereafter; provided, however,
that no delay or failure to furnish such notice shall in any event release or
discharge the Lessee from its obligations to such Funding Party pursuant to
Section 7.4 or otherwise result in any liability of such Funding Party.

                 SECTION 7.9  Funding Losses.  The Lessee shall compensate each
Funding Party, upon its written request to the Lessee (which request shall set
forth the basis for requesting such amounts in reasonable detail and which
request shall be made in good faith and, absent manifest error, shall be final,
conclusive and binding upon all of the parties hereto), for all losses,
expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any interest paid by
such Funding Party to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its
Funded Amounts), in either case to the extent not recoverable by such Funding
Party in connection with a re-employment of such funds and including loss of
anticipated profits, which the Funding Party may sustain:  (i) if for any
reason (other than a default by such Funding Party) a Funding does not occur on
the date specified therefor in a Funding Request or Payment Date Notice
(whether or not withdrawn), (ii) if any repayment (including mandatory
prepayments and any conversions pursuant to Section 7.6(b)) of any Funding
occurs on a date which is not the  last day of a Rent Period applicable
thereto, or (iii) if, for any reason, the Lessee defaults in its obligation to
repay its Rent when required by the terms of the Operative Documents.  In no
circumstance will Lessee be responsible for losses (other than administrative
costs) where interest rates have increased as of the date of determination of

                 SECTION 7.10  Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR
Advances. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Funding Party shall be made
as though that Funding Party had actually funded its relevant LIBOR Advances
through the purchase of deposits in the relevant market bearing interest at the
rate applicable to such LIBOR Advances in an amount equal to the amount of the
LIBOR Advances and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Rent Period and
through the transfer of such LIBOR Advances from an offshore office of that
Funding Party to a domestic office of that Funding Party in the United States
of America; provided




                                      65
<PAGE>

however, that each Funding Party may fund each of its LIBOR Advances in any
manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be used only for
calculation of amounts payable under the Operative Documents.

         SECTION 7.11     End of Term Indemnity.  In the event that at the end
of the Lease Term for a Leased Property: (i) the Lessee elects the option set
forth in Section 14.6 of the Lease, and (ii) after the Lessor receives the
sales proceeds from such Leased Property under Section 14.6 or 14.7 of the
Lease, together with the Lessee's 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
the Lessee's 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 the Lessee, such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld) in form and substance satisfactory to
the Lessor and the Agent (the "Report") to establish the reason for any decline
in value of such Leased Property from the Lease Balance.  The Lessee 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

                 (w)  extraordinary use, failure to maintain, to repair, to
         restore, to rebuild or to replace, failure to comply with all
         Applicable Laws, failure to use, workmanship, method of installation
         or removal or maintenance, repair, rebuilding or replacement, or any
         other cause or condition within the power of the Lessee to control or
         effect resulting in the Building failing to be an office, store or
         warehouse of the type and quality contemplated by the Appraisal
         (excepting in each case ordinary wear and tear), or

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

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

                 (z)  any use of such Leased Property or any part thereof by
         the 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.
