AGREEMENT    
    

        THIS AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated as of February 5, 2004 (the "Effective
Date"), is entered into by and between InterActiveCorp ("IAC") and Victor Kaufman (the
"Executive"). 

WITNESSETH:  

        WHEREAS, the Executive has invaluable knowledge and expertise regarding the operations of IAC and its subsidiaries and affiliates (the
"IAC Group"); 

        WHEREAS,
due to the Executive's knowledge and expertise, IAC wishes to have the cooperation of, and access to, the Executive; and 

        WHEREAS,
IAC and the Executive have mutually agreed that the Executive shall serve IAC on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter specified. 

        NOW,
THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, IAC and the Executive hereby agree as follows: 

        1.    Term.    The Executive shall render the services described herein to IAC, on the terms and conditions set forth
in this Agreement, for the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending upon the third anniversary thereof (the "Term") and, thereafter, during the
Extended Term (as defined below). 

        2.    Duties.    During the Term, the Executive's duties shall consist of high-level activities consistent
with past practice primarily involving major transactions and oversight of IAC Group Legal, Financial and Mergers & Acquisitions, participation in Office of the Chairman meetings (in person or
otherwise) and providing advice to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Executive shall continue to serve as Vice-Chairman of IAC during the Term. During the Term, the Executive shall
devote at least 80% of his business time and attention to his duties to the IAC Group and the venture described below (the "Venture"), provided, that
the Executive agrees that the Executive's duties to the IAC Group shall be the Executive's first priority among his business activities. The remainder of the Executive's business time shall be devoted
to other personal activities and interests that are not competitive with the IAC Group. During the Term, the Executive's services shall be performed in person at IAC's offices only as necessary or
preferable (it being understood that the Executive shall be permitted to spend at least 50% of his time during the Term in the Los Angeles metropolitan area). For the three-year period
following expiration of the Term (the "Extended Term"), the Executive shall provide senior—level services (consistent with the services performed by the Executive during the Term) to IAC
on a part-time basis for up to 10 hours per week. During the Extended Term, the Executive shall not engage in activities that are competitive with the IAC Group. 

        3.    The Venture.    The business of the Venture shall be movie financing or some other start-up business
venture agreed to by the Executive and IAC. It shall be controlled by the Executive with IAC making an initial start-up investment in an amount to be mutually agreed upon by the parties.
IAC shall have the right to make additional matching investments in the Venture (in lieu of a third party) and shall have the right to purchase 100% of the Venture following the fifth anniversary of
the commencement of the Venture by means of a put/call right on such terms and conditions as shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties. 

        4.    Base Salary and Annual Bonus.    During the Term and the Extended Term, Executive shall be eligible to receive
annual base salary, annual bonuses, equity awards and other employee benefits to be reasonably determined by the Compensation Committee of the IAC Board of Directors following consultation with the
Chairman. 

        5.    Equity Compensation.    In consideration for agreeing to provide the services during the Term, each of the
Executive's options to purchase shares of IAC's common stock ("IAC Options") and other 

 

equity
awards based on IAC's common stock that are unvested as of the Effective Date or that are granted following the Effective Date shall continue to vest during the Term and the Extended Term.
Vested IAC Options (whether vested at the Effective Date or thereafter) shall remain exercisable through the Extended Term or, if earlier, the scheduled expiration date of the IAC Option,  provided that,
(a) in the event that the Executive resigns prior to the expiration of the Extended Term due to a material breach of this
Agreement by IAC (or any successor to IAC), that is not cured by IAC (or its successor) promptly after notice from the Executive ("good reason") or is terminated by IAC without cause prior to the
expiration of the Extended Term, vested IAC Options shall remain exercisable through the date that is 24 months following such resignation for good reason or termination without cause, plus an
additional 15 days for each month that has been served by the Executive following the commencement of the Term (up to a maximum of 3 years), or (b) in the event that the Executive
resigns prior to the expiration of the Extended Term (other than as a result of good reason), vested IAC Options shall remain exercisable through the date that is one year following the date of such
resignation (or through a later date at the discretion of IAC) or, if earlier, the scheduled expiration date of the IAC Option. The Executive's award agreements evidencing the grant of any of the
awards described in this Section are hereby amended to the extent necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section. In all other respects, the awards described in this Section shall continue to
be governed in accordance with their terms. For purposes of this Agreement, "cause" shall have the meaning set forth in the applicable IAC stock and incentive plan pursuant to which the IAC Options
were granted. 

        6.    Miscellaneous.    (a)     Successors and
Assigns.    This Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by, as applicable, IAC and the Executive and their respective personal or
legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, assigns, heirs, distributees and legatees. This Agreement is personal in nature and the Executive shall not, without the written consent
of IAC, assign, transfer or delegate this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder. 

        (b)    Governing Law.    This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Delaware without giving effect to such state's laws and principles regarding the conflict of laws. 

        (c)    Amendment.    No provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified, waived or discharged unless such
amendment, waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing and such writing is signed by the Executive and IAC. 

        (d)    Notice.    All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given by

           (a)   Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, on the
Documentation Date (i) Lessor shall make an investment in the Lease Balance
outstanding on the Closing Date by prepaying a portion of the Outstanding Loan
Balance equal to the Documentation Date Prepayment Amount; such amount shall be
treated as an increase in the Invested Amount and a decrease in the Outstanding
Loan Balance, but the Outstanding Funded Amount shall not change; (ii) Lessor
shall maintain its Outstanding Investor Balance under the Original Participation
Agreement as Invested Amounts under this Agreement, together with the
Documentation Date Prepayment Amount, in the amount set forth on SCHEDULES I and
II after giving effect to the increase in its investment in the amount of the

to Lessor under the Original Loan Agreement as Loans under the Loan Agreement in
the respective amounts set forth on SCHEDULE II after giving effect to such
prepayment and purchase and to a reallocation between the Tranche A Loans and
Tranche B Loans made in connection with such prepayment and purchase. Lessor
shall make such prepayment of the Outstanding Loan Balance by transferring
immediately available funds therefor to Administrative Agent, for the account of
each Original Lender set forth on SCHEDULE II. The Administrative Agent shall
distribute (i) the prepayment of the Outstanding Loan Balance to the Original
Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective balances of the Original
Notes held by each Original Lender; and (ii) all other amounts received from the
Lenders on the Documentation Date to the applicable Original Lenders as set

each Advance made by each Participant, each continuation thereof, the date and
amount of each payment or repayment of principal and the length of each Interest
Period with respect thereto in the Administrative Agent's subaccount, and any
such recordation shall constitute PRIMA FACIE evidence of the accuracy of the

to satisfy any condition of ARTICLE III) during the period (the "COMMITMENT

Commitment Period Termination Date. The Commitment Fee is payable quarterly in
arrears on the last Business Day of each consecutive March, June, September and
December, commencing with the first such day following the Documentation Date

     2.6   PAYMENTS TO PARTICIPANTS. The parties to this Agreement hereby agree
that any payment (except Excluded Amounts) required to be made to the
Participants pursuant to any Operative Document may be made directly to
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Participants by Lessee in lieu of the
corresponding payment required to be made by Lessee to Lessor pursuant to any
Operative Document. Such payment by Lessee to Administrative Agent shall be
deemed to constitute (a) the required payment from Lessee to Lessor and (b) the
corresponding payments by Lessor to the Lenders. Lenders hereby agree that all
payments under the Lease shall be distributed in accordance with Article III of
the Loan Agreement.

     2.7   COMPUTATIONS. (a) For all purposes under the Operative Documents, all
computations of Interest and Yield in respect of ABR Loans and the Investor
Balance (when Yield is calculated in respect of the ABR), Commitment Fees and
other accrued amounts shall be made on the basis of actual number of days
elapsed in a 365- (or 366- as the case may be) day year, and Interest and Yield
in respect of Eurodollar Loans and the Investor Balance (when Yield is
calculated in respect of the Eurodollar Rate) shall be made on the basis of the
actual number of days elapsed in a 360-day year, except as otherwise
specifically provided in any Operative Document. Administrative Agent shall as
soon as practicable notify the Lessee and the Lenders of each determination of a
Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a
change in the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements and any change in the Applicable
Margin resulting from a change in the credit rating of the Company shall become
effective as of the opening of business on the first day of the Interest Period
immediately following such change. Administrative Agent shall as soon as
practicable notify the Lessee and the Lenders of the effective date and the
amount of each such change in interest rate. Any change in the interest rate on
a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR and any change in the Commitment Fee
rate resulting from a change in the credit rating of the Company shall become
effective on the earlier of (x) the date upon which such change is publicly
announced by the relevant rating agency and (y) the date upon which the Company
provides to the Administrative Agent reasonably satisfactory evidence of such
change.

           (b)   Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative
Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and
binding on the Lessee and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error.
Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Lessee, deliver to Lessee a
statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining
any interest rate.

Lessee's expense and by written request to the Lessor and the Administrative
Agent not earlier than nine (9) months nor later than six (6) months prior to

that is two years after the Maturity Date then in effect; Lessee may, in its
sole discretion, accept or reject any and all offers from one or more
Participants and in its sole discretion, Lessee may elect, with the consent of
the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, to
replace (in accordance with SECTION 2.8(b)) any Participant that does not submit
an offer to extend or whose offer is not acceptable to Lessee (in each case, a
"NON-CONSENTING PARTICIPANT"); and (ii) on or before the expiration of the Base
Term or the Renewal Term then in effect, Lessee, Administrative Agent, Lessor
and continuing or new Lenders shall enter into appropriate documentation
(including an amendment to this Agreement and the Loan Agreement to reflect the
agreed-upon economic terms) to effect such renewal of the Lease and the other
Operative Documents for such Renewal Term, and concomitantly to extend the Final
Maturity Date to the new Renewal Term Expiration Date. Such renewal of the Lease
and concomitant extension of the Final Maturity Date shall be effective for such
Participants approving the extension if the Required Entities agree to and
approve such extension. None of the Lenders or the Lessor is in any way
obligated to bid or offer to participate under the option to renew the Lease or
to otherwise remain subject to the Operative Documents after the expiration of
the Base Term or after expiration of any Renewal Term.

           (b)   Lessee may cause Lessor to replace any Non-Consenting
Participant in accordance with SECTION 2.8(a) by notifying such Non-Consenting
Participant in writing that its offer is not accepted, or if no such offer was
received within forty-five (45) days of request or solicitation of such offer,
by notifying such Non-Consenting Participant that due to its failure to respond,
such Non-Consenting Participant is being replaced. All replacement Lenders will
be required to enter into the Operative Documents in the same manner as all
existing Lenders. Any Non-Consenting Participant as a condition to being
replaced will receive payment in full of all amounts owing to such
Non-Consenting Participant under the Operative Documents including, as
applicable, principal, Interest, Yield, and all other amounts outstanding under
the Operative Documents in respect of such Non-Consenting Participant and its
Commitment Percentage. Section 2.8 of the Loan Agreement shall not apply to
payments received by any Lender under this SECTION 2.8(b).

is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day. Upon receipt of any
notice pursuant to this SECTION 2.10, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender thereof. All or any part of the outstanding Loans may be
converted as provided herein, PROVIDED that partial conversions of ABR Loans
shall be in the aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof and the aggregate principal amount of the resulting
Eurodollar Loans outstanding in respect of any one Interest Period shall be at

     2.11  REPLACEMENT OF LENDERS. In the event any Lender requests payments
pursuant to SECTION 2.8(b) or Sections 2.11 or 2.12 of the Loan Agreement (which
costs Lessee is obligated to pay as Supplemental Rent under Section 4.2 of the
Lease), the Lessee may require, at the Lessee's expense and subject to Section
2.13 of the Loan Agreement, such Lender to assign, at par plus accrued interest
and fees, without recourse to such Lender, in accordance with SECTION 6.3, all
of its interests, rights and obligations under the Operative Documents
(including all of its Commitments and the Loans and other amounts at the time
owing to it thereunder and its Notes) to a Person who would qualify under
SECTION 6.4(a) specified by the Lessee; PROVIDED that (i) such assignment shall
not conflict with or violate any Applicable Law, (ii) the Lessee shall have
received the written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall
not unreasonably be withheld, to such assignment and (iii) the Lessee shall have

knowledge of a Responsible Officer of Lessee threatened by an Authority to
initiate an Event of Taking; no condition exists that constitutes, or with the
giving of notice or lapse of time or both would constitute an event of default
by it under any material indenture, mortgage, chattel mortgage, deed of trust,
lease, conditional sales contract, loan or credit arrangement or other material
agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its
properties may be bound which individually or in the aggregate with all such
events of default could have a Material Adverse Effect.

           (m)   CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF LESSEE. The principal place of
business and chief executive office, as such terms are used in Section 9-307 of
the UCC, of the Lessee are located at 1895 J.W. Foster Boulevard, Canton,
Massachusetts 02021. Lessee is a corporation organized under the laws of
Massachusetts. Lessee's federal employer identification number is 04-2678061.
The name of Lessee appearing on the first page hereof is Lessee's exact legal
name as it appears in the public records of Massachusetts.

           (n)   COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. With respect to the Original Land and the
construction and use of the Original Facility and with respect to the Additional
Facility upon its acquisition, (i) Lessee has at all times complied with and is
in compliance with and will comply with all Applicable Laws, including all
Environmental Laws, except for any violations which would not have a Material
Adverse Effect; (ii) each Property and the use thereof by Lessee and its
administrative agents, assignees, employees, invitees, lessees, licensees and
tenants complies in all material respects with all Applicable Laws (including
all zoning and land use laws and Environmental Laws) and insurance requirements;
and (iii) each Facility and any other improvements on such Property do not
encroach in any material respect onto any adjoining land (except as permitted by
express written easements or as insured by appropriate title insurance). There
are no underground storage tanks at any Property except such underground storage
tanks as are in compliance with Environmental Laws.

           (o)   LICENSES, REGISTRATIONS AND PERMITS. All material licenses,
approvals, authorizations, consents, permits (including building, demolition and
environmental permits, licenses, approvals, authorizations and consents),
easements and rights-of-way, including proof and dedication (collectively, the
"PERMITS"), required for the use and occupancy of each Property and for the
operation thereof (including a certificate or certificates of occupancy for each
Facility or other legally equivalent permission to occupy such Facility) have
either been obtained from the appropriate Authorities having jurisdiction or
from private parties, as the case may be, or will be obtained from the
appropriate Authorities having jurisdiction or from private parties, as the case
may be, prior to commencing any such use and/or operation, as applicable.
Lessee, as Construction Agent under the Original Operative Documents and its
contractors have assigned to Lessor, to the extent assignable under applicable
law, all of their respective interests in all such Permits relating to the
Original Property.

           (p)   NATURE, CONDITION AND USE OF PROPERTY.

                 (i)   The Original Facility was constructed on the Original
           Land pursuant to the Construction Agency Agreement. Such Property is
           located in Massachusetts in the County of Norfolk. The condition and
           use of such Property conforms, in all material respects, with all
           conditions or requirements of all

                                       20
<Page>

                                                         Participation Agreement

           existing permits and approvals issued with respect to the Original
           Land and the Original Facility. Lessee's use of such Property under
           the Lease does not and will not, in any material respect, violate any
           Applicable Law. No notices, complaints or orders of violation or
           non-compliance or liability of any nature whatsoever have been issued
           or threatened by any Person with respect to the Original Property or
           any present or intended future use thereof, except for such
           violations and instances of non-compliance as could not reasonably be
           expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material
           Adverse Effect on the Original Property, and Responsible Officers of
           Lessee are not aware of any circumstances which could give rise to
           the issuance of any such notices, complaints or orders. The Original
           Property complies, in all material respects, with Applicable Law.
           With respect to the Original Facility, (A) there are no material
           defects to such Facility, including the plumbing, heating, air
           conditioning and electrical systems thereof and (B) all water, sewer,
           electric, gas, telephone and drainage facilities and all other
           utilities required to adequately service such Facility for its
           primary intended use are available pursuant to adequate permits
           (including any that may be required under applicable Environmental
           Laws).

                 (ii)  The Property to be acquired on the Acquisition Date
           consists of land on which a facility suitable for use as a
           manufacturing facility has been constructed. Such Property is located
           in Massachusetts in the County of Norfolk and will be subleased to
           Seller pursuant to the Additional Property Sublease. The condition
           and use of Property will conform, in all material respects, with all
           conditions or requirements of all existing permits and approvals
           issued with respect to such Property. Lessee's and its tenants'
           present or future intended use of such Property under the Lease does
           not and will not, in any material respect, violate any Applicable
           Law. No notices, complaints or orders of violation or non-compliance
           or liability of any nature whatsoever have been issued or threatened
           by any Person with respect to such Property or any present or
           intended future use thereof, except for such violations and instances
           of non-compliance as could not reasonably be expected to have,
           individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on such
           Property, and Responsible Officers of Lessee are not aware of any
           circumstances which could give rise to the issuance of any such
           notices, complaints or orders. Such Property complies in all material
           respects, with Applicable Law. With respect to the Additional
           Facility, (A) there are no material defects to such Facility,
           including the plumbing, heating, air conditioning and electrical
           systems thereof and (B) all water, sewer, electric, gas, telephone
           and drainage facilities and all other utilities required to
           adequately service such Facility for its primary intended use are
           available pursuant to adequate permits (including any that may be
           required under applicable Environmental Laws).

           (q)   UTILITY SERVICES. Each Property has available all material
services of public facilities and other utilities necessary for use and
operation of the Facility thereon for its primary intended purposes including
adequate water, gas and electrical supply, storm and sanitary sewerage
facilities, telephone, other required public utilities and means of access
between such Facility and public highways for pedestrians and motor vehicles.
All utilities serving such

                                                         Participation Agreement

Property are located in, and vehicular access to the Property is provided by,
either public rights-of-way abutting such Property or by Appurtenant Rights.

           (r)   USE AND OPERATION OF THE PROPERTIES. All material agreements,
easements and other rights, public or private, which are necessary to permit the
lawful use and operation of each Property as the Lessee and its tenants intend
to use such Property under the Lease and which are necessary to permit the
lawful intended use and operation of all utilities, driveways, roads and other
means of egress and ingress to and from the same have been obtained and are in
full force and effect, and Responsible Officers of Lessee have no actual
knowledge of any pending modification which would materially and adversely
affect the operation of the Facility located thereon or cancellation of the
same; and all required building and use-related permits, approvals, licenses,
and consents material to the construction, use and operation of such Facility
have been issued and were in full force and effect on or prior to the date such
permits, approvals, licenses and consents are or become necessary.

           (s)   SECURITIES ACT. Neither Lessee nor anyone authorized to act on
behalf of Lessee (it being understood that this representation is not being made
with respect to Credit Suisse First Boston and its Affiliates) has, directly or
indirectly, in violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or any state
securities laws, offered or sold any interest in the Notes, the Properties or
the Lease, or in any security or lease the offering of which, for purposes of
the Securities Act or any state securities laws, would be deemed to be part of
the same offering as the offering of the aforementioned securities or leases, or
solicited any offer to acquire any of the aforementioned securities or leases.

           (t)   TITLE. Neither Lessee nor any of its Affiliates has taken or
caused to be taken any action which would have an adverse effect on Lessor's
title to the Property from that indicated in the Title Policies to be delivered
pursuant to SECTION 3.1 and 3.3. Neither Lessee nor any of its Affiliates has
created, consented to, incurred or suffered to exist any Lien upon either
Property other than Permitted Liens.

           (u)   FEDERAL RESERVE REGULATIONS. No part of the proceeds of any
Advances will be used in any manner which would violate, or result in the
violation of, Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, as now and from time to time hereafter in effect. If requested by any
Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Lessee will furnish to the
Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing, effect in
conformity with the requirements of FR Form U-1 referred to in said Regulation
U.

           (v)   ERISA. Neither a Reportable Event nor an "accumulated funding
deficiency" (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of
ERISA) has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on which this
representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Plan, and each Plan
has complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA
and the Code. No termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred, and no Lien
in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during such five-year period. The
present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on
those assumptions used to fund such plan) did not, as of the last annual
valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed
made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued
benefits. Neither the Company nor any Commonly Controlled Entity

                                       22
<Page>

                                                         Participation Agreement

has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan, and
neither the Company nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to
any liability under ERISA if the Company or any such Commonly Controlled Entity
were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation
date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or
deemed made. No such Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvency. The
present value (determined using actuarial and other assumptions which are
reasonable in respect of the benefits provided and the employees participating)
of the liability of the Company and each Commonly Controlled Entity for
post-retirement benefits to be provided to their current and former employees
under Plans which are welfare benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(1) of
ERISA) does not, in the aggregate, exceed the assets under all such Plans
allocable to such benefits by an amount in excess of $10,000,000.

           (w)   FINANCIAL CONDITION.

                 (i)   The consolidated balance sheet (the "BALANCE SHEET") of
           the Lessee and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003
           and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows
           for the fiscal year ended on such date, reported on by Ernst & Young
           LLP, copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each of the
           Participants, are complete and correct and present fairly in all
           material respects the consolidated financial condition of the Lessee
           and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at such date, and the
           consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash
           flows for the fiscal year then ended.

                 (ii)  All such financial statements, including the related
           schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with
           GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as
           approved by such accountants or Responsible Officer, as the case may
           be, and as disclosed therein). Neither the Lessee nor any of its
           consolidated Subsidiaries had, at the date of the most recent balance
           sheet referred to above, any material Guarantee Obligation,
           contingent liability or liability for taxes, or any long-term lease
           or unusual forward or long-term commitment, including any interest
           rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction, which is not
           reflected in the foregoing statements or in the notes thereto. Except
           to the extent permitted under this Agreement or separately disclosed
           to the Participants in writing prior to the date hereof, there has
           been no sale, transfer or other disposition by the Lessee or any of
           its consolidated Subsidiaries of any material part of its business or
           property and no purchase or other acquisition of any business or
           property (including any capital stock of any other Person) material
           in relation to the consolidated financial condition of the Lessee and
           its consolidated Subsidiaries at December 31, 2003 during the period
           from December 31, 2003 to and including the date hereof.

           (x)   NO OTHER FILINGS. On the Documentation Date and Acquisition
Date, except for the filings and recordings listed in SCHEDULE 4.LA (which
filings or recordings shall have been duly made on the applicable Advance Date,
or shall have been arranged to be made promptly thereafter (including the
payment of any fees or taxes relating to any of the foregoing) in a manner
satisfactory to Administrative Agent), no other filings or recordings are
necessary to validly and effectively maintain in Lessor and Administrative
Agent, or convey to Lessor and

<Page>

                                                         Participation Agreement

Administrative Agent, such interests in the Original Property and the Additional
Property and the Collateral as contemplated by the Operative Documents, in each
case free and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Liens.

           (y)   ZONING. The Original Property complies, and, on the Acquisition
Date therefor the Additional Property will comply, in all material respects with
all applicable zoning and subdivision laws, ordinances, regulations and
restrictive covenants, and all requirements thereof necessary for the use,
occupancy and operation of such Property have been, or upon the acquisition of
such Property will be, satisfied in all material respects, and the current use
and intended use under the Lease of such Properties is a conforming use.

           (z)   DISCLOSURE. No information, schedule, exhibit or report or
other document furnished by the Lessee or any of its Subsidiaries to the
Administrative Agent or any Participant in connection with the negotiation of
this Agreement or any of the other Operative Documents (or pursuant to the terms
hereof or thereof), as such information, schedule, exhibit or report or other
document has been amended, supplemented or superseded by any other information,
schedule, exhibit or report or other document later delivered to the same
parties receiving such information, schedule, exhibit or report or other
document, contained any material misstatement of fact or omitted to state a
material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or
therein, in light of the circumstances when made, not materially misleading.

           (aa)  APPRAISAL DATA. The information provided by Lessee and its
Affiliates to the Appraiser and forming the basis for the conclusions set forth
in the Appraisals, taken as a whole, was true and correct in all material
respects and did not omit any information necessary to make the information
provided not materially misleading.

           (bb)  SUBJECTION TO GOVERNMENT REGULATION. None of Administrative
Agent, Lessor nor any Lender will become (i) solely by reason of entering into
the Operative Documents or consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby
(other than upon exercise of remedies under the Lease or upon the expiration
thereof), subject to ongoing regulation of its operations by any Authority
having jurisdiction solely by reason of any of Lessee's business activities or
the nature of the Properties; or (ii) except for regulation the applicability of
which depends upon the existence of facts in addition to the ownership of, or
the holding of any interest in, the Properties or any interest therein upon the
exercise of remedies under the Lease or upon the expiration thereof, subject to
ongoing regulation of its operations by any Authority having jurisdiction solely
by reason of any of Lessee's business activities or the nature of the
Properties.

           (cc)  INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. Each of the Lessee and its Subsidiaries
owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, technology,
know-how and processes necessary for the conduct of its business as currently
conducted, except for those the failure to own or license which could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (the "INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY"). No claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging
or questioning the use of any such Intellectual Property or the validity or
effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property which, if accurate, could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, nor does the Lessee
know of any valid basis for any such claim. To the knowledge of Responsible
Officers of the Lessee, the use of such Intellectual Property by the Lessee and
its Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person, except for such
claims and

                                       24
<Page>

                                                         Participation Agreement

infringements that, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

           (dd)  TAX SHELTER REGULATIONS. Lessee does not intend to treat the
Lease, the Loans and/or Investor Balance and related transactions as being a
"reportable transaction" (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
1.6011-4). In the event Lessee determines to take any action inconsistent with
such intention, it will promptly notify Administrative Agent thereof. If Lessee
so notifies Administrative Agent, Lessee acknowledges that Administrative Agent
and/or one or more of the Lenders or Lessor may treat its Loans and/or its
interest in the Investor Balance as part of a transaction that is subject to
Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4 or Section 301.6112-1, and the
Administrative Agent and Lessor or such Lenders, as applicable, may file such
IRS forms or maintain such lists and other records as they may determine is
required by such Treasury Regulation.

           (ee)  NO CHANGE. Since December 31, 2003, there has been no
development or event which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

     4.2   REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF EACH PARTICIPANT. Each Participant
represents and warrants severally and only as to itself to each of the other
parties hereto as follows:

           (a)   Lessor represents and warrants that:

                 (i)   CORPORATE POWER: AUTHORIZATION. It has the power and
           authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform this
           Agreement and all other Operative Documents to which it is a party.

           execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other
           Operative Documents to which it is a party. No consent or
           authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in
           respect of, any Person (including any Authority) is required in
           connection with the execution, delivery or performance by Lessor, or
           for the validity or enforceability against, the Lessor of this
           Agreement or any other Operative Document except for the consents,
           authorizations and filings which have been obtained or made and are
           in full force and effect.

                 (ii)  ENFORCEABLE OBLIGATIONS. This Agreement and each
           Operative Document to which Lessor is a party has been duly executed
           and delivered by Lessor and constitutes the legal, valid and binding
           obligation of Lessor enforceable against Lessor in accordance with
           its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency,
           fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium, or other similar
           laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally, general
           principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a
           proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith
           and fair dealing.

                 (iii) DUE ORGANIZATION, ETC. It is duly organized and validly

                                       25
<Page>

                                                         Participation Agreement

           each other agreement, instrument and document to be executed and
           delivered by it on or before each Advance Date in connection with or
           as contemplated by each such Operative Document to which it is or is
           to be a party.

                 (iv)  LESSOR LIENS. The Original Property is, and upon
           acquisition the Additional Property will be, free and clear of all
           Lessor Liens attributable to it.

                 (v)   ERISA. It has funded and will fund the Invested Amount
           with assets that are either (i) not assets of any Employee Benefit
           Plan (or its related trust) which is subject to Title I of ERISA or
           Section 4975 of the Code; or (ii) assets of any Employee Benefit Plan
           (or its related trust) which is subject to Title I of ERISA or
           Section 4975 of the Code, but there is available an exemption from
           the prohibited transaction rules under Section 406(a) of ERISA and
           Section 4975 of the Code and such exemption is immediately applicable
           to each transaction contemplated by the Operative Documents to the
           extent that any other party to such transaction is a "party in
           interest" as defined in Section 3 (14) of ERISA with respect to such
           plan assets.

           (b)   Each Lender represents and warrants that:

                 (i)   ERISA. It is purchasing its interest in the Notes with
           assets that are either (i) not assets of any Employee Benefit Plan
           (or its related trust) which is subject to Title I of ERISA or
           Section 4975 of the Code; or (ii) assets of any Employee Benefit Plan
           (or its related trust) which is subject to Title I of ERISA or
           Section 4975 of the Code, but there is available an exemption from
           the prohibited transaction rules under Section 406(a) of ERISA and
           Section 4975 of the Code and such exemption is immediately applicable
           to each transaction contemplated by the Operative Documents to the
           extent that any other party to such transaction is a "party in
           interest" as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA with respect to such
           plan assets.

                 (ii)  INVESTMENT IN NOTES. In the event that the Notes are
           determined to be securities, it is acquiring the Notes for its own
           account for investment and not with a view to any distribution (as
           such term is used in Section 2 (11) of the Securities Act) thereof,
           and if in the future it should decide to dispose of its interest in
           the Notes, it understands that it may do so only in compliance with
           the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC
           thereunder and any applicable state securities laws. Neither it nor
           anyone authorized to act on its behalf has taken or will take any
           action which would subject the issuance or sale of any Note or any
           interest in the Property, the Collateral or the Lease to the
           registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act. No
           representation or warranty contained in this SECTION 4.2(b) shall
           include or cover any action or inaction of Lessee or any Affiliate

     5.1   FURTHER ASSURANCES. Lessee, at its own cost and expense, will cause
to be promptly and duly taken, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such
further acts, documents and assurances as Lessor or Administrative Agent
reasonably may request from time to time in order to carry out more effectively
the intent and purposes of this Agreement and the other Operative Documents and
the Overall Transaction. Lessee, at its own cost and expense, will cause all
financing statements (including precautionary financing statements), fixture
filings and other documents, to be recorded or filed at such places and times in
such manner, and will take all such other actions or cause such actions to be
taken, as may be necessary or as may be reasonably requested by Lessor or
Administrative Agent in order to establish, preserve, protect and perfect the
title of Lessor to the Properties, as the case may be, and Lessor's rights under
this Agreement and the other Operative Documents and to perfect, preserve and
protect the first and prior Lien of the Mortgage on the Collateral. Lessee will
maintain in full force and effect all Permits. Upon any transfer of either
Property, whether pursuant to any provision of the Operative Documents
(including Article VI of the Lease) or after the occurrence of a Lease Event of
Default or otherwise, Lessee, at its own cost and expense, will cause to be
promptly and duly taken, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further
acts, documents and assurances as Lessor or Administrative Agent reasonably may
request from time to time in order to cause the Permits to be transferred or
reissued in the name of the Person acquiring such Property.

Subsidiaries shall enter into any merger, consolidation or amalgamation to which
it is not the continuing, or surviving corporation, or liquidate, wind up or
dissolve itself (or suffer any liquidation or dissolution), except that any
Subsidiary of Lessee may be merged or consolidated with or into Lessee,
(provided that Lessee shall be the continuing or surviving corporation) or with
or into any one or more wholly owned Subsidiaries of the Lessee (PROVIDED that
the wholly owned Subsidiary or Subsidiaries shall be the continuing or surviving
corporation).

any of its Subsidiaries to, convey, sell, lease, assign, transfer or otherwise
dispose of all or substantially all of the property, business or assets
(including, without limitation, receivables and leasehold interests) of Lessee
and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, whether now owned or hereafter acquired
in any single transaction or any series of related transactions. Notwithstanding
the foregoing provision of this SUBSECTION 5.6, the trademark "Reebok" shall at
all times be subject to a valid license agreement in favor of the Lessee having
terms substantially similar to the License Agreement described in subsection
7.5(b) of the Revolving Credit Agreement.

to act on its behalf to, take any action which would subject the issuance or
sale of either Property or the Notes, Lease or other Operative Documents, or in
any security or lease the offering of which, for purposes of the Securities Act
or any state securities laws, would be deemed to be part of the same offering as
the offering of the aforementioned securities or leases to the registration

     5.12  INTEREST RATES. With respect to each determination of Yield pursuant
to this Agreement and an interest rate pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Lessee

thereto have been provided on the books of the Lessee or any of its
Subsidiaries, as the case may be.

shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, continue to engage in business of the

force and effect its corporate existence and take all reasonable action to
maintain all rights, privileges and franchises necessary or (in the reasonable
judgment of Lessee) desirable in the normal conduct of its business except as
otherwise permitted by SECTION 5.2 and comply with all Contractual Obligations
and Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply
therewith could not, in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

obligations under Article XI of the Lease, Lessee shall, and shall cause each of

1979, between the Lessee (as successor to Reebok U.S.A. Limited, Inc.) and

manner which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.16  INSPECTION OF PROPERTY; BOOKS AND RECORDS; DISCUSSIONS. Lessee shall,
and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep proper books of record and
account in which full, true and correct entries in conformity with GAAP and all
Requirements of Law shall be made of all dealings and transactions in relation
to its business and activities; and permit representatives of any Lender to
visit and inspect any of its properties and examine and make abstracts from any
of its books and records at any reasonable time (upon reasonable advance notice,
when no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and as often

expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

           (c)   any litigation or proceeding affecting the Lessee or any of its
Subsidiaries in which the amount involved is $10,000,000 or more and not covered
by insurance or in which injunctive or similar relief is sought which could have
a Material Adverse Effect;

           (d)   the following events, as soon as possible and in any event
within 30 days after the Lessee knows or has reason to know thereof: (i) the
occurrence or expected occurrence of any Reportable Event with respect to any
Plan, a failure to make any required contribution to a Plan, the creation of any
Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan or any withdrawal from, or the termination,
Reorganization or Insolvency of, any Multiemployer Plan or (ii) the institution

any Commonly Controlled Entity or any Multiemployer Plan with respect to the
withdrawal from, or the terminating, Reorganization or Insolvency of, any Plan;

expected to have a material adverse effect on the rights or remedies of the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under any of the other
Operative Documents.

a Responsible Officer setting forth details of the occurrence referred to
therein and stating what action the Lessee proposes to take with respect
thereto.

     5.18  FINANCIAL CONDITION COVENANTS. Lessee hereby agrees that, so long as
the Commitments remain in effect or any amount is owing to any Participant or
the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Operative Document, Lessee
shall not, and (except with respect to SECTION 5.18) shall not permit any of its
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

           (a)   INDEBTEDNESS TO EBITDA. Permit the ratio of (i) total
Indebtedness of Lessee and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis at any date

EBITDA of Lessee and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis for the period of

determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, for such period on
the aggregate principal amount of their consolidated Indebtedness, to be less
than 3.00 to 1.00.

     5.19  LIMITATION ON TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. None of the Lessee or any
of its Subsidiaries shall enter into any transaction, including any purchase,
sale, lease or exchange of property or the rendering of any service, with any
Affiliate unless such transaction is (a) otherwise permitted under this
Agreement, (b) in the ordinary course of the Lessee's or such Subsidiary's
business and (c) upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to the Lessee
or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, than it would obtain in a hypothetical
comparable arm's-length transaction with a Person which is not an Affiliate (it
being understood (i) that such fairness and reasonableness shall, in the case of
arrangements with joint ventures with unaffiliated third parties, be determined
in the context of all arrangements between the Lessee and its Subsidiaries, on
the one hand, and such joint venture, on the other hand and (ii) this SUBSECTION
5.19 shall not prohibit the transaction with Onfield Apparel Group LLC described
on Schedule V to the Revolving Credit Agreement.

to promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all such further instruments,
documents and completed financing statements (and continuation statements
related thereto) as Lessee may request in order to perform such covenants, (b)

other requirements, (c) execute and acknowledge consents or joinders and
otherwise assist with respect to actions permitted under Section 8.3 of the
Lease, including such actions as Lessee may request on the Acquisition Date
(such as executing reciprocal easement agreements and executing documents
described in Section 8.3 of the Lease which require Lessor's signature), and (d)
upon transfer of the Property to Lessee or any third party, minimize transfer
and mortgage recording taxes as long as by doing so no Administrative Agent or
Participant shall have any continuing liability with respect thereto.

     6.2   COVENANTS OF LESSOR.

           (a)   DISCHARGE OF LIENS. Lessor covenants that it will not create or
permit to exist at any time, and will, at its own cost and expense, promptly
take such action as may be necessary duly to discharge, or to cause to be
discharged, all Lessor Liens attributable to it. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Lessor shall not be required to so discharge any such Lessor Lien while the
same is subject to a Permitted Contest; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Lessor shall
discharge any such Lessor Lien attributable to it, whether or not subject to a
Permitted Contest as provided above, upon the purchase of the applicable
Property by Lessee pursuant to the Lease.

           (b)   CHANGE OF PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS. Lessor shall give prompt
notice to Administrative Agent, if Lessor's principal place of business or chief
executive office, or the office where the records concerning the accounts or
contract rights relating to the Property or the Overall Transaction are kept,
shall cease to be located at 1 Madison Avenue, 2nd Floor, New York, New York
10010 or if it shall change its name, identity, jurisdiction of organization or
state organization number.

           (c)   [RESERVED]

           (d)   LOAN AGREEMENT. Lessor hereby agrees that, so long as the Lease
is in effect, Lessor shall not consent to or permit any amendment of the terms
and provisions of the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage or any Note whether or not
any Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in each case
without the prior written consent of the Lessee, except that without such
consent, (i) Lessor may waive performance by Administrative Agent of obligations
to Lessor the non-performance of which does not adversely affect Lessee and (ii)
Lessor may consent to or permit amendment of the terms and provisions of the
Loan Agreement, the Mortgage or any Note for the purpose of curing any
ambiguity, inconsistency or omission, or of curing, correcting or supplementing
any defective provision contained therein, or in regard to matters or questions
arising thereunder, as the parties thereto may deem necessary or desirable and
not inconsistent with this Agreement and which shall not adversely affect
Lessee.

           (e)   TAX ATTRIBUTES. Prior to the Termination Date, no Participant
shall claim any federal or state tax attributes or benefits (including
depreciation) relating to either Property unless required to do so by an
appropriate taxing authority or after a clearly applicable change in Applicable
Law or as a protective response to a proposed adjustment by an Authority;
PROVIDED,

                                       33
<Page>

                                                         Participation Agreement

HOWEVER, that if an appropriate taxing authority shall require any Participant
to claim any such federal or state tax attributes or benefits, such Person shall
promptly notify Lessee thereof and shall permit the Lessee to contest such
requirement in a manner similar to the contest rights provided in, and subject
to any applicable limitation to a contest contained in, SECTION 7.2(b).

           (f)   MAINTENANCE OF RECORD TITLE. Lessor hereby agrees to maintain
record title to the Property and not transfer same to Persons other than
Affiliates of Lessor, except as contemplated in the Operative Documents or in
connection with the exercise of remedies under the Lease upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default.

     6.3   RESTRICTIONS ON AND EFFECT OF TRANSFER. No Lender shall assign,
convey or otherwise transfer (including pursuant to a participation) all or any
portion of its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the Operative
Documents except that (i) without the prior written consent of Administrative
Agent or the Lessee or any other Person (x) any Lender may pledge or assign all
or any portion of its interest to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with
applicable law, (y) any Lender may transfer all or any portion of its interest
to any of its Affiliates or to any other existing Participant and (z) any Lender
may enter into a participation with a Loan Participant pursuant to SECTION 6.4;
and (ii) with the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, which shall not
be unreasonably withheld, and, provided a Lease Event of Default does not exist,
the Lessee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), any Lender may
transfer any or all of such right, title and interest upon the satisfaction of
each of the following conditions:

           (a)   REQUIRED NOTICE AND DOCUMENTATION DATE. Any Lender desiring to
effect a transfer of its interest shall give written notice of each such
proposed transfer to the Lessee and Administrative Agent at least ten (10) days
prior to such proposed transfer (other than with respect to transfers of a
Lender's interest on the Documentation Date, notice of which may be given on the
Documentation Date), setting forth the name of such proposed transferee, the
percentage or interest to be retained by such Lender, if any, and the date on
which such transfer is proposed to become effective. All reasonable
out-of-pocket costs incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with any such
disposition by a Lender under this SECTION 6.3 shall be borne by such Lender. In
the event of a transfer under this SECTION 6.3, any expenses incurred by the
transferee in connection with its review of the Operative Documents and its
investigation of the transactions contemplated thereby shall be borne by such
transferee or the relevant Lender, as they may determine, but shall not be
considered costs and expenses which the Lessee is obligated to pay or reimburse
under SECTION 8.9. The applicable Lender or transferee shall pay to
Administrative Agent for each transfer a fee of $3,500.

           (b)   ASSUMPTION OF OBLIGATIONS. Any transferee pursuant to this
SECTION 6.3 shall have executed and delivered to Administrative Agent and Lessor
a letter in substantially the form of the Investor's Letter attached hereto as
EXHIBIT I (the "INVESTOR'S LETTER"), and thereupon the obligations of the
transferring Lender under the Operative Documents shall be proportionately
released and reduced to the extent of such transfer. Upon any such transfer as
above provided, the transferee shall be deemed to be bound by all obligations
(whether or not yet accrued) under, and to have become a party to, all Operative
Documents to which its transferor was a party, shall be deemed the pertinent
"Lender" for all purposes of the Operative Documents and shall be deemed to have
made that portion of the payments pursuant to this Agreement

                                                         Participation Agreement

previously made or deemed to have been made by the transferor represented by the
interest being conveyed; and each reference herein and in the other Operative
Documents to the pertinent "Lender" shall thereafter be deemed a reference to
the transferee, to the extent of such transfer, for all purposes. Upon any
transfer pursuant to this SECTION 6.3, Administrative Agent shall deliver to
Lessor and Lessee a copy of the Investor's Letter. The information contained
therein shall be deemed to reflect the relevant information for such new Lender
and the Commitment of such new Lender (and the revised Commitment of the
transferor Lender if it shall not have transferred its entire interest).
Notwithstanding any transfer as provided in this SECTION 6.3, the transferor
shall be entitled to all benefits accrued and all rights vested prior to such
transfer, including rights to indemnification under this Agreement or any other
Operative Document.

           (c)   REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth above, no Lender may assign, convey or transfer its interest
to any Person, unless such Person shall have delivered to Administrative Agent,
Lessor and the Lessee a certificate confirming the accuracy of the
representations and warranties set forth in SECTION 4.2(b) with respect to such
Person (other than as such representation or warranty relates to the execution
and delivery of Operative Documents).

           (d)   AMOUNTS. Any transfer of Notes shall be in a face principal
amount which is equal to or greater than $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of
$1,000,000, or the entire amount of the Note.

     6.4   COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS OF LENDERS.

           (a)   PARTICIPATIONS. Each Lender covenants and agrees that it will
not grant participations in its Notes to any Person (a "LOAN PARTICIPANT")
unless such Person (i) is a bank or other financial institution (PROVIDED that
any foreign transferee must comply with SECTION 7.3) and (ii) represents and
warrants, in writing, to such Lender for the benefit of the Lenders, Lessor and
Lessee as set forth in SECTION 4.2(b). Any such Person shall require any
transferee of its interest in the Notes to make the representations and
warranties set forth in the preceding sentence, in writing, to such Person for
its benefit and the benefit of the Participants and Lessee. In the event of any
such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Loan Participant, such
Lender's obligations under this Agreement and under the other Operative
Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible
for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of its Note for
all purposes under this Agreement and under the other Operative Documents, and
Lessor, Administrative Agent and, except as set forth in SECTION 6.4(b), Lessee
shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with
such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and under the other
Operative Documents. In the case of any such participation, each Loan
Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its
participation to the same extent as if the amount of its participation were
owing directly to a Lender under the Operative Documents. In the event of any
such sale by a Lender of a participatory interest to a Loan Participant, the
selling Lender shall not grant any such Loan Participant any voting rights or
veto power over any action by the selling Lender under this Agreement or any
other Operative Document, except that the selling Lender may agree not to take
any action which would require the consent of such selling Lender under SECTION
8.5 without the consent of such Loan Participant.

                                                         Participation Agreement

           (b)   TRANSFEREE INDEMNITIES. Each purchasing Participant and Loan
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11 and 2.12 of the
Loan Agreement with respect to its Notes or participation in the Loans
outstanding from time to time; PROVIDED, that no Loan Participant shall be
entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such Sections than the
transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount
of the Notes or participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Loan
Participant had no such transfer or participation occurred.

           (c)   PREPAYMENT BY LESSOR OF NOTES. Except as expressly permitted by
the Operative Documents, Lessor shall not voluntarily prepay the Notes, or any
part thereof, without the written consent of the Lessee; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
Lessor shall prepay all or any portion of the Notes at any time upon written
instructions from Lessee and receipt of Supplemental Rent equal to the amount of
the prepayment.

           (d)   NON-INTERFERENCE. The Lenders and Administrative Agent each
covenant that it will not take or cause to be taken any affirmative act that
interferes in Lessee's use of the Property in accordance with the Lease during
the Lease Term, so long as no Lease Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing; it being agreed that Lessee's remedies for breach of the foregoing
covenant shall be limited to a claim for damages or the commencement of
proceedings to enjoin such breach. Such right is independent of, and shall not
affect, Lessor's rights otherwise to initiate legal action to enforce the
obligations of Lessee under the Lease.

     6.5   FUTURE LENDERS. Each Lender, by its acceptance of its Note or Notes,
shall be deemed to be bound by and, upon compliance with the requirements of
SECTION 6.3 or 6.4, as applicable, will be entitled to all of the benefits of
the provisions of, this Agreement.

     6.6   ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT UNDER PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT AND MORTGAGE. For
purposes of this Agreement and the Mortgage, the parties hereto agree that
Administrative Agent shall be the administrative agent of the Lenders and the
Lessor, with Administrative Agent's duties and obligations hereunder being
subject to the limitations, and Administrative Agent being entitled to the
rights, set forth in Article VII of the Loan Agreement.

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

     7.1   GENERAL INDEMNIFICATION. Lessee agrees, whether or not any of the
transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, to assume liability for,

after-tax basis in accordance with SECTION 7.5) from and against any and all
Claims that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee
(including Claims arising out of such Indemnitee's negligence), whether or not
such Indemnitee shall also be indemnified as to any such Claim by any other
Person and whether or not such Claim arises or accrues prior to the initial
Advance Date, during the Lease Term or after the Termination Date, in any way
relating to or arising out of (a) any of the Original Operative Documents or the
Operative Documents or any of the transactions contemplated thereby or any
investigation, litigation or proceeding in connection therewith, and any
amendment, modification or waiver in respect thereof; (b) the Property or any
part thereof or interest therein; (c) the acquisition, mortgaging, design,
construction, preparation, installation,

Parts 4 and 5 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and any prohibited transaction

the imposition of any Lien on either Property other than Lessor Liens; (i)
enforcing the Operative Documents or exercising remedies thereunder; (j) any

     Lessee shall not be required to indemnify under this SECTION 7.1 for (1) as
to an Indemnitee, any Claim to the extent resulting from the willful misconduct
or gross negligence of such Indemnitee (other than any gross negligence or
willful misconduct imputed as a matter of law to such Indemnitee solely by
reason of its participation in the Overall Transaction and entering into the
Operative Documents, its interest in either Property or the acts or omissions of
the Lessee), (2) as to any Indemnitee, any Claim for bodily injury or property
damage to the extent resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee where such negligence or willful misconduct occurs on either

SECTION 7.2), other than a payment necessary and sufficient to cover any Taxes
which may be imposed as a result of such indemnity payment under this SECTION

Participant (other than legal proceedings arising from or relating to any act or
omission of Lessee or Guarantor). In the event that the indemnification provided
for herein is prohibited by Applicable Law, Lessee will contribute to a Claim to
the maximum extent permitted by law, and indemnification by Lessee for events
which occur during the term of the Lease or while Lessee is in possession of
either Property will not be affected by a termination of the Lease.

     7.2   GENERAL TAX INDEMNITY.

           (a)   TAX INDEMNITY. Lessee shall indemnify and hold each Indemnitee
harmless (on an after-tax basis in accordance with SECTION 7.5) from and
against, any and all Taxes, howsoever imposed, on or with respect to any
Indemnitee, the Property or any portion thereof, any Original Operative
Document, any Operative Document or Lessee or any sublessee or user of the
Property by any Authority in connection with or in any way relating to (i) the
acquisition, mortgaging, design, construction, preparation, installation,
inspection, delivery, non-delivery, acceptance, rejection, purchase, ownership,
possession, rental, lease, sublease, repossession, maintenance, repair,
alteration, modification, addition or substitution, storage, transfer of title,
redelivery, use, financing, refinancing, operation, condition, sale, return or
other application or disposition of all or any part of the Properties or the
imposition of any Lien (or incurrence of any liability to refund or pay over any
amount as a result of any Lien) thereon, (ii) Basic Rent or Supplemental Rent or
the receipts or earnings arising from or received with respect to the 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) the Property or any part thereof or any interest
therein, (v) all or any of the Operative Documents, any other documents
contemplated thereby and any amendments and supplements thereto, and (vi)
otherwise with respect to or in connection with the transactions contemplated by
the Operative Documents; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the indemnification obligation
of this SECTION 7.2(a) shall not apply to Taxes (i) based upon or measured by
the Indemnitee's net income; (ii) characterized under local law as franchise,
net worth, or shareholder's capital (excluding, however, any value-added,
license, property or similar Taxes); (iii) Taxes based upon the voluntary
transfer, assignment or disposition by Administrative Agent, Lessor or any
Participant of any interest in the Property (other than a transfer pursuant to
the exercise of remedies under the Operative Documents, transfers pursuant to
the exercise of the Remarketing Option or Purchase Option, a transfer to Lessee
or otherwise pursuant to the Lease); (iv) which are Federal net income taxes
(except to the extent covered to make payments, where required, on an after-tax
basis) as well as amounts withheld from any payment to any Indemnitee that is
not a United States Person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code which
has not complied with SECTION 7.3 (other than any such Indemnitee that has
complied with SECTION 7.3 on or before the first Payment Date that it has become
a "Lender" but that is subsequently rendered unable to comply with SECTION 7.3
by reason of a circumstance described in Section 2.11(a) of the Loan Agreement);
(v) imposed by state and local governments as net income Taxes, except
incremental Taxes imposed on the Lessor by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; or
(vi) attributable to any Lessor Lien or the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the proviso of the preceding
sentence, Lessee shall pay or reimburse, and indemnify and hold harmless, any
Indemnitee which is not a United States Person as defined in Section 7701 (a)
(30) of the Code, and which has complied with SECTION 7.3 or any Indemnitee that
is a Lender that has complied with SECTION 7.3 on or before the first Payment
Date that it becomes a "Lender" but which is subsequently rendered unable to
comply with SECTION 7.3 by

                                                         Participation Agreement

reason of a circumstance described in Section 2.11(a) of the Loan Agreement,
from any deduction or withholding of any United States Federal, state or local
income tax. All indemnities contained in this SECTION 7.2(a) are expressly made
for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnitee.

           (b)   CONTESTS. Lessee shall pay at the time and in the manner set
out in SECTION 7.2(c) any Taxes subject to indemnification pursuant to SECTION
7.2 (a); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Lessee shall be under no obligation to pay any
such Tax so long as the payment of such Tax is not delinquent or is being
contested by a Permitted Contest. If any claim is made against any Indemnitee
solely for any Tax which is subject to indemnification as provided in SECTION
7.2(a), Indemnitee shall as soon as practicable, but in no event more than 20
days after receipt of written notice, notify the Lessee and if, in the
reasonable opinion of tax counsel to the Indemnitee in the case of any Tax that
may reasonably be expected to exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate, there exists a
basis to contest such Tax which satisfies the requirements of ABA Formal Opinion
85-352 (and if the PROVISOS of the definition of "Permitted Contest" continue to
be satisfied and so long as no Event of Default exists), the Lessee at its
expense may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, contest such Tax;
PROVIDED that in, all other circumstances, upon notice from the Lessee to such
Indemnitee that there exists a basis to contest any such Tax which satisfies the
requirements of ABA Formal Opinion 85-352 (as supported by an opinion of tax
counsel to the Indemnitee), the Indemnitee, at the Lessee's expense, shall
contest any such Tax. The Lessee shall pay all expenses incurred by the
Indemnitee in contesting any such Tax (including all reasonable attorneys' and
accountants' fees), upon written demand by the Indemnitee. The Indemnitee shall
have the right to participate in the conduct of any proceedings controlled by
the Lessee and the Indemnitee shall in all events be kept informed of material
developments relative to such proceedings. The Lessee shall have the right to
participate in the conduct of any proceedings controlled by the Indemnitee to
the extent that such participation by such Person does not interfere with the
Indemnitee's control of such contest and the Lessee shall in all events be kept
informed, to the extent practicable, of material developments relative to such
proceedings. The Indemnitees agree that a contested claim will not be settled or
compromised without the Lessee's prior written consent (which consent shall
neither be unreasonably delayed nor withheld), unless the PROVISOS of the
definition of "Permitted Contest" would not continue to be satisfied. Each
Indemnitee shall endeavor to settle or compromise any such contested claim in
accordance with written instructions from the Lessee. The failure of an
Indemnitee to timely contest a claim against it for any Tax for which it has an
obligation to contest under this SECTION 7.2(b) shall relieve the Lessee of its
obligations to such Indemnitee under SECTION 7.2(a) only to the extent such
failure results in the loss of an effective contest. If Applicable Law requires
the payment of a contested Tax as a condition to its being contested, and the
Lessee chooses to contest such Tax or to direct the Indemnitee to contest such
Tax, then the Lessee shall provide the Indemnitee with the funds to pay such
Tax, as a non-interest bearing loan by the Lessee to the Indemnitee to be repaid
by any recovery of such Tax and any remaining unpaid amount to reduce the
obligations to indemnify for such Tax. Lessee shall indemnify the Indemnitee on
a grossed-up basis (in accordance with SECTION 7.5) for and against any adverse
tax consequences of such interest-free loan. In the event that the Indemnitee
receives a refund (or other like adjustment) in respect of any Tax for which the
Indemnitee has been reimbursed by Lessee, the Indemnitee shall immediately remit
the amount of such refund to Lessee, net of all costs and expenses incurred by
such Indemnitee, together with any interest actually received thereon.

                                                         Participation Agreement

           (c)   PAYMENTS. Any Tax indemnifiable under SECTION 7.2(a) 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 an Indemnitee
pursuant to SECTION 7.2(a) shall be paid within thirty (30) days after receipt
of a written demand therefor from such 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
7.2(a) directly to the Indemnitee entitled thereto or the Lessee, as the case
may be, shall be made 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 Participation Agreement. Upon the request of any Indemnitee with respect to
a Tax that Lessee is required to pay, Lessee shall furnish to such Indemnitee
the original or a certified cop of a receipt for Lessee's payment of such Tax or
such other evidence of payment as is reasonably acceptable to such Indemnitee.

           (d)   REPORTS. If any report, return or statement is required to be
filed with respect to any Taxes that are subject to indemnification under
SECTION 7.2(a), the Lessee shall, if Lessee is permitted by Applicable Law,
timely prepare and file such report, return or statement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that if Lessee is not permitted by Applicable Law to file any such report,
Lessee will promptly so notify the appropriate Indemnitee, in which case the
Indemnitee will file any such report after preparation thereof by Lessee. Lessee
will deliver any such return, together with immediately available funds for
payment of any Tax due, to such Indemnitee at least five (5) days in advance of
the date such return or payment is due.

     7.3   WITHHOLDING TAX EXEMPTION.

           (a)   Each Lender that is not a United States Person (within the
meaning of Section 7701 (a) (30) of the Code) for federal income tax purposes
(i) represents to Lessee, Lessor and Administrative Agent that under applicable
law and treaties in effect on the date hereof or on the date it becomes a Lender
pursuant to SECTION 6.3, as the case may be, no taxes are required to be
withheld with respect to any payments to be made to such Lender under the
Operative Documents, (ii) agrees to furnish to Lessee, Lessor and Administrative
Agent, on or before the first Payment Date occurring after it has become a
"Lender" two valid, duly completed original copies of United States Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or successor applicable form, properly and
duly executed, certifying in either case that such Lender is entitled to receive
payments pursuant to the Operative Documents without deduction or withholding of
any United States federal income taxes and is a foreign person thereby entitled
to an exemption from United States backup withholding taxes, and any such
additional form (or any successor form or forms required) upon the expiration or
obsolescence of any previously delivered form, (iii) agrees to comply from time
to time with all applicable United States laws and regulations with regard to
withholding tax exemptions, and (iv) agrees to obtain such extensions of time
for filing and completing such forms or certifications as may reasonably be
requested by Lessee or Administrative Agent.

           (b)   Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, but
without limiting Lessee's obligations UNDER SECTION 7.2(a) hereof by reason of a
circumstance described in

                                       40
<Page>

                                                         Participation Agreement

Section 2.11(a) of the Loan Agreement, Lessee shall have no obligation to
gross-up any payment for withholding taxes or pay any amount hereunder to or for
the account of any Lender that fails to comply with its obligations pursuant to
SECTION 7.3(a) (for this purpose, a failure by a Lender to comply with such
obligations shall include, without limitation, any representation or warranty
made or deemed to have been made by such Lender pursuant to SECTION 7.3(a)
proving to have been incorrect, false or misleading in any material respect when
so made or deemed to be made).

     7.4   EXCESSIVE USE INDEMNITY. In the event that at the end of the Lease
Term: (a) Lessee elects the Remarketing Option; and (b) after paying to Lessor
all amounts due under Sections 6.2 and 6.3 of the Lease, including Proceeds and
the aggregate Guaranteed Residual Amount, Lessor does not have sufficient funds
to reduce the Lease Balance to zero, then Lessee shall promptly pay over to
Lessor the shortfall unless Lessee delivers a report from an independent
appraiser in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Entities which
establishes that the decline in value in a Property from the aggregate amount
anticipated for such date in the Appraiser's report delivered with respect to
such Property on or about the Documentation Date or the Acquisition Date as
required herein was not due to the excessive use of such Property, failure to
maintain such Property, modifications or restorations which reduce the value of
the such Property, any adverse change in the environmental condition of such
Property, any easements granted pursuant to Section 8.3 of the Lease or Section
3.4 of the Construction Agency Agreement which reduce the value of such
Property, or any defect or exception to title of such Property or any other
cause or condition within the power of Lessee to control or affect differing
from ordinary wear and tear.

     7.5   GROSS UP. If an Indemnitee shall not be entitled to a corresponding
and equal deduction with respect to any payment or Tax which Lessee is required
to pay or reimburse under any other provision of this ARTICLE VII (each such
payment or reimbursement under this ARTICLE VII, an "original payment") and
which original payment constitutes income to such Indemnitee, then Lessee shall
pay to such Indemnitee on demand the amount of such original payment on a
grossed-up basis such that, after subtracting all Taxes imposed on such
Indemnitee with respect to such original payment by Lessee (including any Taxes
otherwise excluded by SECTION 7.2(b) and assuming for this purpose that such
Indemnitee was subject to taxation at the highest Federal marginal rates
applicable to widely held corporations for the year in which such income is
taxable and at an assumed state and local income tax rate of 8.5%), such
payments shall be equal to the original payment to be received or paid;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Lessee shall not be required to make any grossed-up
payment to any Indemnitee that is not organized under the laws of the United
States or a state thereof if such Indemnitee fails to comply with the
requirements of SECTION 7.3.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     8.1   SURVIVAL OF AGREEMENTS. The representations, warranties, covenants,
indemnities and agreements of the parties provided for in the Operative
Documents, and the parties' obligations under any and all thereof, shall survive
the execution and delivery and the termination or expiration of this Agreement
and any of the Operative Documents, including the termination of the Lease with
respect to the Property, the transfer of the interest in the Property by Lessee
as provided in any other Operative Document, any disposition of any interest of

Lessor in the Property, the purchase and sale of the Notes, payment therefor and
any disposition thereof and shall be and continue in effect notwithstanding any
investigation made by any party hereto or to any of the either Operative
Documents and the fact that any such party may waive compliance with any of the
other terms, provisions or conditions of any of the Operative Documents.

     8.2   NO BROKER, ETC. Except for the Arranger (the fees and expenses of
which shall be payable by the Lessee in accordance with the provisions of the
Operative Documents), each of the parties hereto represents to the others that
it has not retained or employed any broker, finder or financial advisor to act
on its behalf in connection with this Agreement, nor has it authorized any
broker, finder or financial adviser retained or employed by any other Person so
to act, nor has it incurred any fees or commissions to which Lessor might be
subjected by virtue of their entering into the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. Any party who is in breach of this representation shall indemnify and
hold the other parties harmless from and against any liability arising out of
such breach of this representation.

     8.3   NOTICES. Unless otherwise specified herein, all notices, requests,
demands or other communications to or upon the respective parties hereto shall
be made in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (i) in the case of
notice by letter, the earlier of when delivered to the addressee by hand or
courier if delivered on a Business Day and, if not delivered on a Business Day,
the first Business Day thereafter or on the third Business Day after, depositing
the same in the mails, registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return
receipt requested, addressed as provided on SCHEDULE III hereto, and (ii) in the
case of notice by facsimile or bank wire, when receipt is confirmed if delivered
on a Business Day, and, if not delivered on a Business Day, the first Business
Day thereafter, addressed as provided on SCHEDULE III hereto, or to such other
address as any of the parties hereto may designate by written notice. Copies of
all notices given by facsimile or bank wire shall be contemporaneously sent by
overnight courier.

     8.4   COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an
original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the
same agreement.

     8.5   AMENDMENTS. Except as otherwise specifically provided in any
Operative Document, neither this Agreement nor any of the other Operative
Documents nor any of the terms hereof or thereof may be terminated, amended,
supplemented, waived or modified orally, but only by an instrument in writing
signed by the party against which the enforcement of the termination, amendment,
supplement, waiver or modification shall be sought; and no such termination,
amendment, supplement, waiver or modification shall be effective unless a signed
copy thereof shall have been delivered to Lessor, the Lessee and Administrative
Agent. Lessor and Lessee shall not be permitted to amend, modify, supplement or
waive any provision of the Lease or other Operative Document without the written
consent of the Required Entities or (after the Loans shall have been paid in
