in advance of any period for which it intends to self-insure and shall provide
the Lessor with satisfactory evidence of its compliance with these requirements
in order to give the Lessor an opportunity to confirm the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in the above clauses (i)-(iv).

costs of collection) and enforce the Lessee's obligations under this Master
Lease as and when the same become due, or are to be performed, and at the option

equitable) to enforce the terms hereof or to recover damages for the breach
hereof. Separate suits may be brought to collect any such damages for any
period(s), and such suits shall not in any manner prejudice the Lessor's right
to collect any such damages for any subsequent period(s), or the Lessor may
defer any such suit until after the expiration of the Lease Term, in which event
such suit shall be deemed not to have accrued until the expiration of the Lease
Term;

          (g)  The Lessor may retain and apply against the Lease Balance all
sums which the Lessor would, absent such Lease Event of Default, be required to
pay to, or turn over to, the Lessee pursuant to the terms of this Master Lease

be conveyed to Lessee in accordance with Section 21.1 of the Master Lease;

receiver(s) shall have all of the usual powers and duties of receivers in like
or similar cases and all of the powers and duties of the Lessor in case of
entry, and shall continue as such and exercise such powers until the date of
confirmation of the sale of the Property unless such receivership is sooner
terminated;

the benefit of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement and
redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshaling in the
event of any sale of the Property or any interest therein;

indebtedness and performance of the obligations secured hereby and to exercise
all rights and powers under this instrument or under any of the other Operative

Neither the acceptance of this instrument nor its enforcement, shall prejudice

reserved to the Lessor is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or

addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at
law or in equity or by statute. Every power or remedy given by any of the
Operative Documents to the Lessor or to which it may otherwise be entitled, may
be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as
may be deemed expedient by the Lessor. In no event shall the Lessor, in the
exercise of the remedies provided in this instrument (including, without

appointment of a receiver and the entry of such receiver onto all or any part of
the Property), be deemed a "mortgagee in possession", and the Lessor shall not
in any way be made liable for any act, either of commission or omission, in
connection with the exercise of such remedies; and

          (k)  Grant; Foreclosure; Power of Sale. The Lessee hereby grants to
               ---------------------------------
the Lessor or, in deed of trust jurisdictions, to the trustee named in the
Memorandum of Lease for such jurisdictions, as trustee (together with all
successor trustees, the "Trustee"), IN TRUST, WITH POWER OF SALE, or a mortgage
                         -------
on, all of the Lessee's right, title and interest in and to the Property and,
upon the occurrence of a Lease Event of Default and following termination of
this Master Lease by the Lessor, the Lessor shall have the power and authority,
after proper notice and lapse of such time as may be required by law and by the
Master Lease, to cause the Trustee to sell the Property or any part thereof by
notifying the Trustee of that election and depositing with the Trustee this
instrument and receipts and evidence of expenditures made and secured hereby as
the Trustee may reasonably require. Upon receipt of any such notice from the
Lessor, the Trustee shall cause to be recorded, published and delivered to
Lessee such Notice of Default and Election to Sell as is then required by
applicable statutory authority and by this instrument, which notice shall set
forth, among other things, the nature of the breach(es) or default(s), the
action(s) required to effect a cure thereof and the time period within which
that cure may be effected. If no cure is effected within the statutory time
limits following recordation of the Notice of Default and Election to Sell and
after Notice of Sale has been given as required by the above-referenced
statutes, the Trustee may without further notice or demand sell and convey the
Property or any part thereof in accordance with the above-referenced statutes.
The Property or any part thereof may be sold as a whole or in separate lots,
parcels or items and in such order as the Lessor may direct, at public auction
to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States payable at
the time of sale. The Trustee shall deliver to such purchaser(s) a good and
sufficient deed or deeds conveying the property so sold, but without any
covenant or warranty express or implied. The recitals in such deed of any matter
or fact shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness

                                                                              29

thereof. Any Person, including the Lessee, the Trustee or the Lessor, may
purchase at any sale. After deducting all costs, fees and expenses of the Lessor
and the Trustee, including costs of evidence of title in connection with any
sale, the Lessor shall apply the proceeds of sale, in the following order of
priority, to payment of the following (collectively referred to herein as the
"Obligated Amounts"): (i) first, all amounts expended by or for the account of
 -----------------
the Lessor under the terms hereof and not then repaid, with accrued interest at
the Overdue Rate; and (ii) second, all other amounts then due and owing
hereunder including, without limitation, all Basic Rent, Supplemental Rent, the
full amount of the Lease Balance as of the date of sale as if this Master Lease
had been terminated under Section 18.1, and all other amounts then payable by
                          ------------
the Lessee under this Master Lease and the other Operative Documents, with the
Lessor having the right to apply the proceeds of sale to the amounts described
above in this clause (ii) in such order, proportion and priority as the Lessor
may elect in its sole and absolute discretion. To the extent permitted by
applicable statutes, the Trustee may postpone the sale of all or any portion of
the Property by public announcement at the time and place of sale, and from time
to time thereafter may again postpone that sale by public announcement or
subsequently noticed sale, and without further notice may make such sale at the
time fixed at the last postponement or may, in its discretion, give a new notice
of sale. A sale of less than all of the Property or any defective or irregular
sale made hereunder shall not exhaust the power of sale provided for herein, and
subsequent sales may be made hereunder until all of the Obligated Amounts have
been satisfied or the Property have been sold, without defect or irregularity.
No action of the Lessor or the Trustee based upon the provisions contained
herein or contained in the applicable statutes, including, without limitation,
the giving of the Notice of Default and Election to Sell or the Notice of Sale,
shall constitute an election of remedies which would preclude the Lessor from
pursuing judicial foreclosure before a completed sale pursuant to the power of
sale contained herein. The Lessor shall have the right, with the irrevocable
consent of the Lessee hereby given and evidenced by the execution of this
instrument, to obtain appointment of a receiver by any court of competent
jurisdiction without further notice to the Lessee, which receiver shall be
authorized and empowered to enter upon and take possession of the Property or
any part thereof, including all personal property used upon or in connection
with the real property herein conveyed, to let the Property or any part thereof,
to receive all the rents, issues and profits, if any, which may be due or become
due in respect to the leasing of the Property or any part thereof to another
party (herein, "Property Rents"), and apply the Property Rents after payment of
                --------------
all necessary charges and expenses to reduction of the Obligated Amounts in such
order, proportion and priority as the Lessor may elect. At the option of the
Lessor, the receiver shall accomplish entry and taking possession of the
Property or any part thereof by actual entry and possession or by notice to the
Lessee. The receiver so appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction shall be
empowered to issue receiver's certificates for funds advanced by the Lessor for
the purpose of protecting the value of the Property or any part thereof as
security for the Obligated Amounts. The amounts evidenced by receiver's
certificates shall bear interest at the Overdue Rate and may be added to the
Obligated Amounts if the Lessee or a junior lienholder purchases the Property or
any part thereof at the trustee's

sale. The Trustee or any successor acting hereunder may resign and thereupon be
discharged of the trusts hereunder upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice
to the Lessor. Regardless of whether the Trustee resigns, the Lessor may, from
time to time, substitute a successor or successors to any Trustee named herein
or acting hereunder in accordance with any statutory procedure for such
substitution; or if Lessor, in its sole and absolute discretion, so elects, and
if permitted by law, the Lessor may substitute such successors or successors by
recording, in the office of the recorder of the county or counties where the
Property is located, a document executed by the Lessor and containing the name
of the original Lessee and Lessor hereunder, the book and page where this
instrument (or a memorandum hereof) is recorded (and/or instrument number, as
applicable) and the name of the new Trustee, which instrument shall be
conclusive proof of proper substitution of such successor Trustee or Trustees,
who shall, without conveyance from the predecessor Trustee, succeed to the
rights, powers and duties hereunder. It is acknowledged that A POWER OF SALE HAS
BEEN GRANTED IN THIS INSTRUMENT; A POWER OF SALE MAY ALLOW LESSOR TO TAKE THE
PROPERTY AND SELL THEM WITHOUT GOING TO COURT IN A FORECLOSURE ACTION UPON
DEFAULT BY THE LESSEE UNDER THIS INSTRUMENT.

          The Lessor acknowledges and agrees that upon the declaration of an
Event of Default, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Lessee waives any
right to contest the sum of the Lessor Balance and the Loan Balance as the
liquidated sum due upon acceleration of this instrument.

          If, pursuant to the exercise by the Lessor of its remedies pursuant to
this Section 16.2, the Lease Balance and all other amounts due and owing from
     ------------
the Lessee under this Master Lease and the other Operative Documents have been
paid in full, then the Lessor shall remit to the Lessee any excess amounts
received by the Lessor. The obligation to deliver such excess to the Lessee
shall survive this Master Lease.

          Notwithstanding any termination of this Master Lease pursuant to this
Section 16.2 or otherwise, the Lessor agrees that for thirty (30) days after the
------------
declaration of the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lessor shall forebear from
exercising the remedies set forth in clauses (c), (h), (j) or (k) of this
Section 16.2 during which time Lessee may tender to the Lessor in immediately
------------
available funds the Lease Balance and all past due and accrued and unpaid Rent
upon the receipt of which Lessor shall transfer the Property to the Lessee or
its designee in accordance with Article XXI hereof.
                                -----------

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lessor may exercise its rights against the
Collateral at any time after acceleration of the Lease Balance.

          16.3      Waiver of Certain Rights. Subject to the foregoing, if this
                    ------------------------
Master Lease shall be terminated pursuant to Section 16.2, the Lessee waives, to
                                             ------------
the fullest extent permitted by law, (a) any notice of re-entry or the

right of redemption, re-entry or repossession except as expressly provided
herein; (c) the benefit of any laws now or hereafter in force exempting property
from liability for rent or for debt or limiting the Lessor with respect to the
election of remedies; and (d) any other rights which might otherwise limit or
modify any of the Lessor's rights or remedies under this Article XVI.

          17.1 The Lessor's Right to Cure the Lessee's Lease Defaults. The
               ------------------------------------------------------
Lessor, with notice to the Lessee but without waiving or releasing any
obligation or Lease Event of Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to)
remedy any Lease Event of Default for the account and at the sole cost and
expense of the Lessee, including the failure by the Lessee to maintain the
insurance required by Article XIII, and may, to the fullest extent permitted by
                      ------------
law, and notwithstanding any right of quiet enjoyment in favor of the Lessee,
enter upon the Property for such purpose and take all such action thereon as may
be necessary or appropriate therefor. No such entry shall be deemed an eviction
of the Lessee. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses so incurred
(including fees and expenses of counsel), together with interest thereon at the
Overdue Rate from the date on which such sums or expenses are paid by the
Lessor, shall be paid by the Lessee to the Lessor as Supplemental Rent.

          (a)  Subject to the conditions contained herein, the Lessee shall have
the irrevocable option on any Business Day to purchase the Property at a price
(the "Purchase Price") equal to the Lease Balance on the date of such purchase

offset by any Deposit Taker Losses if such purchase is made during the Basic
Lease Term. The Lessee's exercise of its option pursuant to this Section 18.1

Purchase Notice to the Lessor not less than thirty (30) days prior to such
purchase, specifying the date of such purchase.

          (b)  Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, if any
Environmental Violation shall not be remedied by the Lessee with respect to the
Property in accordance with Section 14.2 and the Lessor has not otherwise
                            ------------
delivered a Termination Notice pursuant to Section 15.2 hereof
                                           ------------

in the event the remedying of such Environmental Violation would exceed
$2,500,000, the Lessee shall be deemed to have made a timely election of an
option to purchase the Property in accordance with this Section 18.1.

or 18.2 then, upon the Lessor's receipt of all amounts due in connection
   ----
therewith, the Lessor shall transfer to the Lessee or its designee all of the
Lessor's right, title and interest in and to the Property in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Section 21.1(a), such transfer to be effective as of the
                        ---------------
date specified in the Purchase Notice. The Lessee may designate, in a notice
given to the Lessor not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the closing of
such purchase (time being of the essence), the transferee or transferees to whom
the conveyance shall be made (if other than to the relevant Lessee), in which
case such conveyance shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth

transferee or transferees shall not cause the Lessee to be released, fully or
partially, from any of its obligations under this Master Lease, including,

the information which the Lessor shall reasonably require to determine that the
Lessee is in compliance with all conditions required by Section 18.2(b) as of
                                                        ---------------
the date of conveyance of the Release Parcel.

to the Expiration Date, the Lessee shall give to the Lessor written notice of
the Lessee's exercise of the Remarketing Option, which exercise shall be
irrevocable. Failure by the Lessee to give timely notice shall be deemed to be
an election by the Lessee, without further act thereby, of its Purchase Option
for the Property.

          (b)  Not more than six (6) months and not less than ninety (90) days
prior to the Expiration Date, the Lessee shall deliver to the Lessor an
Environmental Audit for the Property. Such Environmental Audit shall be prepared

any exceptions, the Lessee shall have also delivered prior to the Expiration
Date, a Phase Two environmental assessment by such environmental consultant and
a written statement by such environmental consultant indicating that all such
exceptions have been remedied in compliance with Applicable Law. As of the
Expiration Date, any Permitted Property Liens that were contested by the Lessee

continuing.

          (d)  During the Marketing Period, the Lessee shall, as agent for the

Property on or before the Expiration Date and will attempt to obtain the lesser
of the Lease Balance or the highest purchase price therefor.

          (e)  The Lessee shall have obtained, at its cost and expense, all
required governmental and regulatory consents and approvals and shall have made
all filings as required by Applicable Law in order to carry out and complete the
transfer of the Property. As to the Lessor, any such sale shall be made on an
"as is, with all faults" basis without representation or warranty by the Lessor
other than the absence of Lessor Liens.

the cost of all appraisals required under Section 13.2 of the Participation
                                          ------------

Person entitled thereto) an amount equal to the Maximum Recourse Amount plus all
accrued and unpaid Rent and all other amounts hereunder which have accrued or
will accrue prior to or as of the Expiration Date, in the type of funds

                                                   -----------
shall pay to the Lessor on or prior to the end of the Basic Lease Term with
respect to the Land, an amount equal to the Land Lease Balance offset by any
Deposit Taker Losses.

of the Property (less any marketing, closing or other costs, prorations or
commissions related to the marketing of the Property), shall be paid directly to
the Lessor. The Gross Remarketing Proceeds shall be distributed as set forth in
Section 7.4 of the Participation Agreement; provided, however, that any sums due
-----------                                 --------  -------
and payable to the Lessee shall only be paid if all Supplemental Rent has been
paid. The obligations of the Lessor under this paragraph shall survive the

Expiration Date.

expense, a report from an Appraiser in form and substance satisfactory to the
Lessor and the Administrative Agent which shall separately state the Fair Market

          Upon the sale or return of the Property in accordance with the terms
hereof pursuant to the Remarketing Option, the Lessor will instruct the
Collateral Agent to return any outstanding Collateral to the Lessee.

          If the Lessee elects the Remarketing Option in accordance with Section

          Property to the Lessor or any Person designated by the Lessor, by
          surrendering the same into the possession of the Lessor or such
          Person, as the case may be, in the condition required by this Section
                                                                        -------
          20.1 and in compliance with Applicable Law; and

          Lessor and/or any Person designated by the Lessor to receive the
          Property, which cooperation shall include reasonable efforts with
          respect to the following, all of which the Lessee shall do on or
          before the Expiration Date for the Property or as soon thereafter as
          is reasonably practicable: providing copies of all books and records
          regarding the maintenance and ownership of the Property and all know-
          how, data and technical information relating thereto, providing a
          current copy of the applicable Plans and Specifications, granting or
          assigning all assignable licenses necessary for the operation and
          maintenance of the Property and cooperating reasonably in seeking and
          obtaining all necessary Governmental Action. The obligations of the
          Lessee under this paragraph shall survive the expiration or
          termination of this Master Lease.

          Lessor shall have no obligation to approve any bid for the Property
except for bona fide all-cash bids which, together with amounts payable by the
Lessee under clause (g) hereof, in the aggregate is at least equal to the Lease
Balance and the acceptance of which will not subject the Lessor to any
additional liability. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Lessee shall
have no right, power or authority to bind the Lessor or any Participant in
connection with any proposed sale of the Property.

          If one or more of the foregoing provisions (a) through (i) shall not
be fulfilled as of the Expiration Date with respect to the Property, then the
Remarketing Option shall be null and void (whether or not it has been
theretofore exercised by the Lessee), in which event all of the Lessee's rights
under this Section 20.1 shall immediately terminate and the Lessee shall
           ------------
purchase from the Lessor, and the Lessor shall convey to the respective Lessee,
on the Expiration Date all of the Lessor's interest in the Property for an
amount equal to the Lease Balance.

          If an Event of Default occurs after the Lessee elects the Remarketing
Option, such election shall be automatically revoked and the Lessee shall be
deemed to have elected the Purchase Option.

be under no duty, to solicit bids, to inquire into the efforts of the Lessee to
obtain bids or otherwise to take action in connection with any such sale.

Lessee's financial reporting, (ii) the Master Lease and other transactions
contemplated will result in the Lessee being recognized as the owner of the
Property for Federal and state income tax and bankruptcy purposes, (iii) the
Memorandum of Lease grants to Lessor a Lien on the Lessee's interest in the
Property, and (iv) the obligations of the Lessee to pay Basic Rent and any part
of the Lease Balance shall be treated as payments of interest and principal,
respectively, for Federal and state income tax and bankruptcy purposes. The
Lessor shall be deemed to have a valid and binding security interest in and Lien
on the Lessee's interest in the Property, free and clear of all Liens other than
Permitted Property Liens, as security for the obligations of the Lessee under
the Operative Documents (it being understood and agreed that the Lessee does
hereby grant a Lien, and convey, transfer, assign, mortgage and warrant to
Lessor and its successors, transferees and assigns, for the benefit of the
Lessor and its successors, transferees and assigns, the Property and any
proceeds or products thereof, to have and hold the same as collateral security
for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Lessee under the
Operative Documents), each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not, nor
will it permit any Affiliate to at any time, take any action or fail to take any
action with respect to the preparation or filing of any income tax return,
including an amended income tax return, to the extent that such action or such
failure to take action would be inconsistent with the intention of the parties
expressed in this Section 25.1.

insolvency or receivership proceedings or a petition under the United States
bankruptcy laws or any other applicable insolvency laws or statute of the United
States of America or any State or Commonwealth or other applicable jurisdiction
thereof affecting Lessee, Lessor, any Participant or any collection actions, the
transactions evidenced by the Operative Documents shall be regarded as loans
made by the Participants to the Lessee.

extent permitted by law, no waiver of any default shall affect or alter this
Master Lease, and this Master Lease shall continue in full force and effect with
