                                   ARTICLE II

         SECTION 2.1 PROPERTY. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter
set forth and contained in the respective Lease Supplements relating to the Land
and the Improvements, Lessor hereby leases to Lessee, and Lessee hereby leases

         SECTION 2.2 LEASE TERM. The basic term of this Lease (each, a "Basic

foregoing, Lessee shall not be obligated to pay Basic Rent until the Rent
Commencement Date with respect to the Land and the applicable Improvements.

         Upon the written request of Lessee and with the consent of all of the
Financing Parties, each in its sole discretion, the term of this Lease may be
extended for up to two (2) additional terms each of two (2) year's duration from

be later than the ninth (9th) annual anniversary of the Closing Date, unless
such later expiration date has been expressly agreed to, at the request of
Lessee, in writing by each of Lessor, the Agent, the Lenders and the Holders in
their sole discretion.

         SECTION 2.3 TITLE. The Property is leased to Lessee without any
representation or warranty, express or implied, by Lessor and subject to the
rights of parties in possession (if any), the existing state of title (including
without limitation the Permitted Liens) and all applicable Legal Requirements.

Lessor's title to the Property or any interest of Lessee therein other than for
Lessor Liens.

Commencement Date, Lessee and Lessor shall each execute and deliver a Lease
Supplement and a Memorandum of Lease for the Land, and on or prior to the date

<PAGE>   8

execute and deliver a Lease Supplement and a Memorandum of Lease for the Initial
Improvements. On or prior to the subsequent Basic Term Commencement Date, Lessee
and Lessor shall each execute and deliver a Lease Supplement and a Memorandum of
Lease for the applicable Subsequent Improvements to be leased effective as of
such Basic Term Commencement Date, in each case, in substantially the form of
Exhibit A hereto.

                                  ARTICLE III

         SECTION 3.1 RENT.

                  (a) Lessee shall pay Basic Rent in arrears on each Payment
Date, and on any date on which this Lease shall terminate with respect to the
Property during the applicable Term; provided, however, with respect to any
portion of the Property Lessee shall have no obligation to pay Basic Rent until
the Rent Commencement Date for such portion of the Property (notwithstanding
that Basic Rent for such portion of the Property shall accrue from and including
the Scheduled Interest Payment Date immediately preceding such Rent Commencement
Date).

                  (b) Each payment of Rent payable by Lessee to Lessor under
this Lease or any other Operative Agreement shall be made by Lessee to the Agent
as the designee of Lessor under Section 5.8 of the Participation Agreement to
such account or accounts as the Agent may designate from time to time prior to
10:00 a.m., San Francisco, California time, in immediately available funds
consisting of lawful currency of the United States of America on the date when
such payment shall be due. Payments received after 10:00 a.m., San Francisco,
California time, on the date due shall, for the purpose of Section 17.1 hereof
be deemed received on such day; provided, however, that for the purposes of the
second sentence of Section 3.3 hereof, such payments shall be deemed received on
the next succeeding Business Day and, unless the Agent is otherwise able to
invest or employ such funds on the date received, subject to interest at the
Overdue Rate.

                  (c) Lessee's inability or failure to take possession of all or
any portion of the Property when delivered by Lessor, whether or not
attributable to any act or omission of Lessor, the Construction Agent, Lessee or
any other Person or for any other reason whatsoever, shall not delay or
otherwise affect Lessee's obligation to pay Rent for the Property in accordance
with the terms of this Lease.

                  (d) On or prior to each Payment Date, Lessor shall deliver, or
cause to be delivered, to Lessee a notice of the exact amount of the Basic Rent
due on such date (the "Invoice"). For the purposes of this Section 3.1(d),
delivery of the Invoice by facsimile transmission, receipt confirmed, will be
sufficient.

         SECTION 3.2 PAYMENT OF BASIC RENT. Basic Rent shall be paid absolutely
net to Lessor or its designee, so that this Lease shall yield to Lessor the full
amount thereof, without setoff, deduction or reduction.

         SECTION 3.3 SUPPLEMENTAL RENT. Lessee shall pay to the Person entitled
thereto any and all Supplemental Rent when and as the same shall become due and
payable, and if Lessee

                                       3
<PAGE>   9
fails to pay any Supplemental Rent within three (3) days after the same is due,
Lessor shall have all rights, powers and remedies provided for herein or by law
or equity or otherwise in the case of nonpayment of Basic Rent. All such
payments of Supplemental Rent shall be in the full amount thereof, without
setoff, deduction or reduction. Lessee shall pay to the appropriate Person, as
Supplemental Rent due and owing to such Person, among other things, on demand,
(a) any and all payment obligations (except for amounts payable as Basic Rent)
owing from time to time under the Operative Agreements by any Person to the
Agent, any Lender, any Holder or any other Person, (b) interest at the
applicable Overdue Rate on any installment of Basic Rent not paid when due
(subject to the applicable grace period) for the period for which the same shall
be overdue and on any payment of Supplemental Rent not paid when due or demanded
by the appropriate Person (subject to any applicable grace period) for the
period from the due date or the date of any such demand, as the case may be,
until the same shall be paid and (c) amounts referenced as Supplemental Rent
obligations pursuant to Section 8.3 of the Participation Agreement. The
expiration or other termination of Lessee's obligations to pay Basic Rent
hereunder shall not limit or modify the obligations of Lessee with respect to
Supplemental Rent. Unless expressly provided otherwise in this Lease, in the
event of any failure on the part of Lessee to pay and discharge any Supplemental
Rent as and when due, Lessee shall also promptly pay and discharge any fine,
penalty, interest or cost which may be assessed or added for nonpayment or late
payment of such Supplemental Rent, all of which shall also constitute
Supplemental Rent. During the Construction Period, such Supplemental Rent shall
be included in the Property Cost to be paid by Lessor; provided, however, the
Lessor shall pay such amounts described in this Section 3.3 only if funds are
made available by the Lenders and the Holders in an amount sufficient to allow
such payment.

         SECTION 3.4 PERFORMANCE ON A NON-BUSINESS DAY. If any Basic Rent is
required hereunder on a day that is not a Business Day, then such Basic Rent
shall be due on the corresponding Scheduled Interest Payment Date. If any
Supplemental Rent is required hereunder on a day that is not a Business Day,
then such Supplemental Rent shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day.

         SECTION 3.5 RENT PAYMENT PROVISIONS. Lessee shall make payment of all
Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent when due (subject to the applicable grace
periods) regardless of whether any of the Operative Agreements pursuant to which
same is calculated and is owing shall have been rejected, avoided or disavowed
in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving any of the parties to any
of the Operative Agreements. Such provisions of such Operative Agreements and
their related definitions are incorporated herein by reference and shall survive
any termination, amendment or rejection of any such Operative Agreements.

                                  ARTICLE IV

         SECTION 4.1 TAXES; UTILITY CHARGES. Subject to Lessee's rights of
permitted contest pursuant to Section 13.1, Lessee shall pay or cause to be paid
all Impositions with respect to the Property and/or the use, occupancy,
operation, repair, access, maintenance or operation thereof and all charges for
electricity, power, gas, oil, water, telephone, sanitary sewer service and all
other rents, utilities and operating expenses of any kind or type used in or on
the Property during the applicable Term. Upon Lessor's request, Lessee shall
provide from time to time Lessor with

                                       4
<PAGE>   10
evidence of all such payments referenced in the foregoing sentence. Lessee shall
be entitled to receive any credit or refund with respect to any Imposition or
utility charge paid by Lessee. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, the amount of any credit or refund received by Lessor on
account of any Imposition or utility charge paid by Lessee, net of the costs and
expenses incurred by Lessor in obtaining such credit or refund, shall be
promptly paid over to Lessee. All charges for Impositions or utilities imposed
with respect to any portion of the Property for a period during which this Lease
expires or terminates shall be adjusted and prorated on a daily basis between
Lessor and Lessee, and each party shall pay or reimburse the other for such
party's pro rata share thereof. During the Construction Period with respect to a
portion of the Property, the costs of Impositions and all other utility and
other charges or expenses referenced in this Section 4.1 accruing with respect
to such portion of the Property shall be paid by Lessor; provided, however, the
Lessor shall pay such amounts described in this Section 4.1 only if funds are
made available by the Lenders and the Holders in an amount sufficient to allow
such payment.

                                  ARTICLE V

         SECTION 5.1 QUIET ENJOYMENT. Subject to the rights of Lessor contained
in Sections 17.2, 17.3 and 20.3 and the other terms of this Lease and the other
Operative Agreements and so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, Lessee shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the
Property and any Improvements thereto for the applicable Term, free of any claim
or other action by Lessor or anyone rightfully claiming by, through or under
Lessor (other than Lessee) with respect to any matters arising from and after
the applicable Basic Term Commencement Date.

                                  ARTICLE VI

         SECTION 6.1 NET LEASE. This Lease shall constitute a net lease, and the
obligations of Lessee hereunder are absolute and unconditional. Lessee shall pay
all operating expenses arising out of the use, operation and/or occupancy of the
Property. Any present or future law to the contrary notwithstanding, this Lease
shall not terminate, nor shall Lessee be entitled to any abatement, suspension,
deferment, reduction, setoff, counterclaim, or defense with respect to the Rent,
nor shall the obligations of Lessee hereunder be affected (except as expressly
herein permitted and by performance of the obligations in connection therewith)
for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation by reason of: (a) any
damage to or destruction of the Property or any portion thereof; (b) any taking
of the Property or any portion thereof or interest therein by Condemnation or
otherwise; (c) any prohibition, limitation, restriction or prevention of
Lessee's use, occupancy or enjoyment of the Property or any portion thereof, or
any interference with such use, occupancy or enjoyment by any Person or for any
other reason; (d) any title defect, Lien or any matter affecting title to the
Property; (e) any eviction by paramount title or otherwise; (f) any default by
Lessor hereunder; (g) any action for bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
liquidation, dissolution or other proceeding relating to or affecting the Agent,
any Lender, Lessor, Lessee, any Guarantor, any Holder or any Governmental
Authority; (h) the impossibility or illegality of performance by Lessor, Lessee
or both; (i) any action of any Governmental Authority or any other Person; (j)
Lessee's acquisition of ownership of all or

                                       5
<PAGE>   11
portion of the Property (except for any such acquisition of ownership pursuant
to and in accordance with the terms of this Lease); (k) breach of any warranty
or representation with respect to the Property or any Operative Agreement; (l)
any defect in the condition, quality or fitness for use of the Property or any
portion thereof; or (m) any other cause or circumstance whether similar or
dissimilar to the foregoing and whether or not Lessee shall have notice or
knowledge of any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions,
nothing contained in this Section 6.1 shall provide Lessor with any right to
payment by Lessee under this Lease prior to the applicable Completion Date which
is contrary to Lessor's remedies under the Construction Agency Agreement; it
being the express intention of the parties hereto that Lessee's liability
hereunder with respect to the Land and any Improvements shall not exceed the
liability of the Construction Agent under the Construction Agency Agreement
prior to the related Completion Date. The parties intend that the obligations of
Lessee hereunder shall be covenants, agreements and obligations that are
separate and independent from any obligations of Lessor hereunder and shall
continue unaffected unless such covenants, agreements and obligations shall have
been modified or terminated in accordance with an express provision of this
Lease. Lessor and Lessee acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this
Section 6.1 have been specifically reviewed and subjected to negotiation.

         SECTION 6.2 NO TERMINATION OR ABATEMENT. Lessee shall remain obligated
under this Lease in accordance with its terms and shall not take any action to
terminate, rescind or avoid this Lease, notwithstanding any action for
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, or other
proceeding affecting any Person or any Governmental Authority, or any action
with respect to this Lease or any Operative Agreement which may be taken by any
trustee, receiver or liquidator of any Person or any Governmental Authority or
by any court with respect to any Person, or any Governmental Authority. Lessee
hereby waives all right (a) to terminate or surrender this Lease (except as
permitted hereunder or under the terms of the Operative Agreements) or (b) to
avail itself of any abatement, suspension, deferment, reduction, setoff,
counterclaim or defense with respect to any Rent. Lessee shall remain obligated
under this Lease in accordance with its terms and Lessee hereby waives any and
all rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise to modify or to
avoid strict compliance with its obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding
any such statute or otherwise, Lessee shall be bound by all of the terms and
conditions contained in this Lease.

                                  ARTICLE VII

         SECTION 7.1 OWNERSHIP OF THE PROPERTY.

                  (a) Lessor and Lessee intend that for federal and all state
and local income tax purposes, bankruptcy purposes, regulatory purposes,
commercial law and real estate purposes and all other purposes (A) this Lease
will be treated as a financing arrangement, (B) Lessee will be treated as the
beneficial owner of the Property and will be entitled to all tax benefits
ordinarily available to owners of property similar to the Property for such tax
purposes and (C) this Lease is intended by Lessee to be treated as an operating
lease for Lessee's financial statement reporting purposes. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, neither party hereto has made, or shall be deemed to have made, any
representation or warranty as to the availability of any of the foregoing
treatments under applicable accounting rules, tax, bankruptcy, regulatory,
commercial or real

                                       6
<PAGE>   12
estate law or under any other set of rules. Lessee shall claim the cost recovery
deductions associated with the Property, and Lessor shall not, to the extent not
prohibited by Law, take on its tax return a position inconsistent with Lessee's
claim of such deductions.

                  (b) For all purposes described in Section 7.1(a), Lessor and
Lessee intend this Lease to constitute a finance lease and not a true lease. In
order to secure the obligations of Lessee now existing or hereafter arising
under any and all Operative Agreements, Lessee hereby conveys, grants, assigns,
transfers, hypothecates, mortgages and sets over to Lessor, for the benefit of
all Financing Parties, a first priority security interest (but subject to the
security interest in the assets granted by Lessee in favor of the Agent in
accordance with the Security Agreement) in and lien on all right, title and
interest of Lessee (now owned or hereafter acquired) in and to the Property to
the extent such is personal property and irrevocably grants and conveys a lien,
deed of trust and mortgage on all right, title and interest of Lessee (now owned
or hereafter acquired) in and to the Property to the extent such is a real
property. Lessor and Lessee further intend and agree that, for the purpose of
securing the obligations of Lessee and/or the Construction Agent now existing or
hereafter arising under the Operative Agreements, (i) this Lease shall be a
security agreement and financing statement within the meaning of Article 9 of
the Uniform Commercial Code respecting the Property and all proceeds (including
without limitation insurance proceeds thereof) to the extent such is personal
property and an irrevocable grant and conveyance of a lien, deed of trust and
mortgage on the Property and all proceeds (including without limitation
insurance proceeds thereof) to the extent such is real property; (ii) the
acquisition of title by Lessor in the Property referenced in Article II
constitutes a grant by Lessee to Lessor of a security interest, lien, deed of
trust and mortgage in all of Lessee's right, title and interest in and to the
Property and all proceeds (including without limitation insurance proceeds
thereof) of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into
cash, investments, securities or other property, whether in the form of cash,
investments, securities or other property, and an assignment of all rents,
profits and income produced by the Property; and (iii) notifications to Persons
holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from
financial intermediaries, bankers or agents (as applicable) of Lessee shall be
deemed to have been given for the purpose of perfecting such lien, security
interest, mortgage lien and deed of trust under applicable law. Lessee shall
promptly take such actions as Lessor may reasonably request (including without
limitation the filing of Uniform Commercial Code Financing Statements, Uniform
Commercial Code Fixture Filings, this Lease and the various Lease Supplements
and any memoranda (or short form) of this Lease and the various Lease
Supplements) to ensure that the lien, security interest, lien, mortgage lien and
deed of trust in the Property and the other items referenced above will be
deemed to be a perfected lien, security interest, mortgage lien and deed of
trust of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such
throughout the Term.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

         SECTION 8.1 CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY. LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES
THAT IT IS LEASING THE PROPERTY "AS-IS WHERE-IS" WITHOUT REPRESENTATION,
WARRANTY OR COVENANT (EXPRESS OR IMPLIED) BY LESSOR (EXCEPT THAT LESSOR SHALL
KEEP THE PROPERTY FREE AND CLEAR OF LESSOR LIENS) AND SUBJECT TO (A) THE
EXISTING STATE OF TITLE, (B) THE

                                       7
<PAGE>   13
RIGHTS OF ANY PARTIES IN POSSESSION THEREOF (IF ANY), (C) ANY STATE OF FACTS
REGARDING ITS PHYSICAL CONDITION OR WHICH AN ACCURATE SURVEY MIGHT SHOW, (D) ALL
APPLICABLE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS AND (E) VIOLATIONS OF LEGAL REQUIREMENTS WHICH MAY
EXIST ON THE DATE HEREOF AND/OR THE DATE OF THE APPLICABLE LEASE SUPPLEMENT.
NEITHER LESSOR NOR THE AGENT NOR ANY LENDER NOR ANY HOLDER HAS MADE OR SHALL BE
DEEMED TO HAVE MADE ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT (EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED) (EXCEPT THAT LESSOR SHALL KEEP THE PROPERTY FREE AND CLEAR OF LESSOR
LIENS) OR SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE ANY LIABILITY WHATSOEVER AS TO THE TITLE,
VALUE, HABITABILITY, USE, CONDITION, DESIGN, OPERATION, MERCHANTABILITY OR
FITNESS FOR USE OF THE PROPERTY (OR ANY PORTION THEREOF), OR ANY OTHER
REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH
RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY (OR ANY PORTION THEREOF), AND NEITHER LESSOR NOR THE
AGENT NOR ANY LENDER NOR ANY HOLDER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LATENT, HIDDEN, OR
PATENT DEFECT THEREON OR THE FAILURE OF THE PROPERTY, OR ANY PORTION THEREOF, TO
COMPLY WITH ANY LEGAL REQUIREMENT. LESSEE HAS OR PRIOR TO THE APPLICABLE BASIC
TERM COMMENCEMENT DATE WILL HAVE BEEN AFFORDED FULL OPPORTUNITY TO INSPECT THE
PROPERTY OR APPLICABLE PORTION THEREOF AND THE IMPROVEMENTS THEREON (IF ANY), IS
OR WILL BE (INSOFAR AS LESSOR, THE AGENT, EACH LENDER AND EACH HOLDER ARE
CONCERNED) SATISFIED WITH THE RESULTS OF ITS INSPECTIONS AND IS ENTERING INTO
THIS LEASE SOLELY ON THE BASIS OF THE RESULTS OF ITS OWN INSPECTIONS, AND ALL
RISKS INCIDENT TO THE MATTERS DESCRIBED IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE, AS BETWEEN
LESSOR, THE AGENT, THE LENDERS AND THE HOLDERS, ON THE ONE HAND, AND LESSEE, ON
THE OTHER HAND, ARE TO BE BORNE BY LESSEE.

         SECTION 8.2 POSSESSION AND USE OF THE PROPERTY.

                  (a) At all times following the applicable Completion Date, the
Property shall be used by Lessee in the ordinary course of its business. Lessee
shall pay, or cause to be paid, all charges and costs required in connection
with the use of the Property as contemplated by this Lease. Lessee shall not
commit or permit any waste of the Property or any portion thereof.

                  (b) The address stated in Section 6.2(i) of the Participation
Agreement is the principal place of business and chief executive office of
Lessee (as such terms are used in Section 9-103(3) of the Uniform Commercial
Code of any applicable jurisdiction), and Lessee will provide Lessor with prior
written notice of any change of location of its principal place of business or
chief executive office. Each Lease Supplement correctly identifies the location
of the related Equipment (if any) and Improvements (if any) (on a Building by
Building basis) and contains an accurate legal description for the related
parcel of Land. The Equipment and Improvements will be located only at the
location identified in the applicable Lease Supplement.

                  (c) Lessee will not attach or incorporate any item of
Equipment to or in any other item of equipment or personal property or to or in
any real property in a manner that could give rise to the assertion of any Lien
(in favor of a third party that is prior to the Liens thereon

                                       8
<PAGE>   14
created by the Operative Agreements) on such item of Equipment by reason of such
attachment or the assertion of a claim that such item of Equipment has become a
fixture and is subject to a Lien in favor of a third party that is prior to the
Liens thereon created by the Operative Agreements.

                  (d) Prior to the initial Advance for Hard Costs in respect of
the Initial Improvements or any Subsequent Improvements, Lessor and Lessee shall
execute a Lease Supplement and a Memorandum of Lease in regard to such
applicable Improvements which shall contain an Equipment Schedule that has a
general description of the Equipment (if any) which shall comprise any portion
of the applicable Improvements, an Improvement Schedule that has a general
description of the applicable Improvements which shall comprise a portion of the
Property and a legal description of the related Land. Simultaneously with the
execution and delivery of each Lease Supplement, such applicable Equipment and
Improvements which are financed under the Operative Agreements after such
execution and delivery and the remainder of such Property shall be deemed to
have been accepted by Lessee for all purposes of this Lease and to be subject to
this Lease.

                  (e) At all times during the applicable Term with respect to
the Land and any Improvements, Lessee will comply with all obligations under and
(to the extent no Event of Default exists and provided that such exercise will
not impair the value, utility or remaining useful life of such portion of the
Property) shall be permitted to exercise all rights and remedies under, all
operation and easement agreements and related or similar agreements applicable
to the Property.

         SECTION 8.3 INTEGRATED PROPERTY. On the applicable Rent Commencement
Date for the Land and any Improvements, Lessee shall, at its sole cost and
expense, cause each such portion of the Property to constitute (and for the
duration of the related Term continue to constitute) all of the equipment,
facilities, rights, other personal property and other real property necessary or
appropriate to operate, utilize, maintain and control such portion of the
Property in a commercially reasonable manner.

                                  ARTICLE IX

         SECTION 9.1 COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS, INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
AND MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFICATIONS AND STANDARDS. Subject to the terms of Article
XIII relating to permitted contests, Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall
(a) comply with all applicable Legal Requirements (including without limitation
all Environmental Laws (except as set forth in Section 15.2)) and all Insurance
Requirements relating to the Property, (b) procure, maintain and comply with all
licenses, permits, orders, approvals, consents and other authorizations required
for the acquisition, installation, testing, use, development, construction,
operation, maintenance, repair, refurbishment and restoration of the Property
and (c) comply with all manufacturer's specifications and standards, including
without limitation the acquisition, installation, testing, use, development,
construction, operation, maintenance, repair, refurbishment and restoration of
the Property, whether or not compliance therewith shall require structural or
extraordinary changes in the Property or interfere with the use and enjoyment of
the Property, unless the failure to procure, maintain and comply with such items
identified in subparagraphs (b) and (c),

                                       9
<PAGE>   15
individually or in the aggregate, shall not have and could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Lessor agrees to take such actions
as may be reasonably requested by Lessee in connection with the compliance by
Lessee of its obligations under this Section 9.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Lessee shall be deemed to be in compliance with all Environmental Laws for
purposes of this Lease notwithstanding any Environmental Violation if the
severity of such Environmental Violation is less than federal, state and local
standards requiring remediation or removal or, if such standards are exceeded,
remediation or removal is proceeding in accordance with all applicable
Environmental Laws.

                                   ARTICLE X

         SECTION 10.1 MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR; RETURN.

                  (a) Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall maintain the
Property in good condition, repair and working order (ordinary wear and tear
excepted) and make all necessary repairs thereto and replacements thereof, of
every kind and nature whatsoever, whether interior or exterior, ordinary or
extraordinary, structural or nonstructural or foreseen or unforeseen, in each
case as required by Section 9.1 and on a basis consistent with the operation and
maintenance of property or equipment comparable in type and function to the
Property, such that the Property is capable of being immediately utilized by a
third party and in compliance with standard industry practice subject, however,
to the provisions of Article XV with respect to Casualty and Condemnation.

                  (b) Lessee shall not use, locate, move or relocate any
component of the Property beyond the boundaries of the Land described in the
Lease Supplement with regard to the Land, except for the temporary removal of
Equipment and other personal property for repair or replacement.

                  (c) If any component of the Property becomes worn out, lost,
destroyed, damaged beyond repair or otherwise permanently rendered unfit for
use, Lessee, at its own expense, will within a reasonable time replace such
component with a replacement component which is free and clear of all Liens
(other than Permitted Liens and Lessor Liens) and has a value, utility and
useful life at least equal to the component replaced (assuming the component
replaced had been maintained and repaired in accordance with the requirements of
this Lease). Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.1, all components which
are added to the Property shall immediately become the property of (and title
thereto shall vest in) Lessor and shall be deemed incorporated in the Property
and subject to the terms of this Lease as if originally leased hereunder.

                  (d) Upon reasonable advance notice, Lessor and its agents
shall have the right to inspect the Property and all maintenance records with
respect thereto at any reasonable time during normal business hours but shall
not, in the absence of an Event of Default, materially disrupt the business of
Lessee.

                  (e) Lessee shall cause to be delivered to Lessor (at Lessee's
sole expense) one or more additional Appraisals (or reappraisals of the
Property) as Lessor may request if any one

                                       10
<PAGE>   16
of Lessor, the Agent, the Trust Company, any Lender or any Holder is required
pursuant to any applicable Legal Requirement to obtain such Appraisals (or
reappraisals) and upon the occurrence of any Event of Default.

                  (f) Lessor shall under no circumstances be required to build
any improvements or install any equipment on the Property, make any repairs,
replacements, alterations or renewals of any nature or description to the
Property, make any expenditure whatsoever in connection with this Lease or
maintain the Property in any way. Lessor shall not be required to maintain,
repair or rebuild all or any part of the Property, and Lessee waives the right
to (i) require Lessor to maintain, repair, or rebuild all or any part of the
Property, or (ii) make repairs at the expense of Lessor pursuant to any Legal
Requirement, Insurance Requirement, contract, agreement, covenant, condition or
restriction at any time in effect.

                  (g) Lessee shall, upon the expiration or earlier termination
of this Lease with respect to any portion of the Property, if Lessee shall not
have exercised its Purchase Option with respect to such portion of the Property
and purchased such portion of the Property, surrender such portion of the
Property (i) pursuant to the exercise of the applicable remedies upon the
occurrence of a Lease Event of Default, to Lessor or (ii) pursuant to the second
paragraph of Section 22.1(a) hereof, to Lessor or the third party purchaser, as
the case may be, subject to Lessee's obligations under this Lease (including
without limitation the obligations of Lessee at the time of such surrender under
Sections 9.1, 10.1(a) through (f), 10.2, 11.1, 12.1, 22.1 and 23.1).

SECTION 10.2  ENVIRONMENTAL INSPECTION. If Lessee has not given notice of
exercise of its Purchase Option on the Expiration Date pursuant to Section 20.1
with respect to any portion of the Property or for whatever reason Lessee does
not purchase any of the Property in accordance with the terms of this Lease,
then not more than one hundred twenty (120) days nor less than sixty (60) days
prior to the applicable Expiration Date, Lessee shall cause to be delivered to
Lessor an environmental site assessment recently prepared (no more than thirty
(30) days prior to the date of delivery) by an independent recognized
professional reasonably acceptable to Lessor, and in form, scope and content
reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. The cost incurred respecting such
environmental site assessment shall be paid for in accordance with the
provisions set forth in Section 20.3(b).

                                   ARTICLE XI

         SECTION 11.1 MODIFICATIONS.

                  (a) Lessee at its sole cost and expense, at any time and from
time to time without the consent of Lessor may make modifications, alterations,
renovations, improvements and additions to the Property or any part thereof and
substitutions and replacements therefor (collectively, "Modifications"), and
Lessee shall make any and all Modifications required to be made pursuant to all
Legal Requirements, Insurance Requirements and manufacturer's specifications and
standards; provided, that: (i) no Modification shall materially impair the
value, utility or useful life of the Property from that which existed
immediately prior to such Modification; (ii) each Modification shall be done
expeditiously and in a good and workmanlike

                                       11
<PAGE>   17
manner; (iii) no Modification shall adversely affect the structural integrity of
the Property; (iv) to the extent required by Section 14.2(a), Lessee shall
maintain builders' risk insurance at all times when a Modification is in
progress; (v) subject to the terms of Article XIII relating to permitted
contests, Lessee shall pay all costs and expenses and discharge any Liens
arising with respect to any Modification; (vi) each Modification shall comply
with the requirements of this Lease (including without limitation Sections 8.2
and 10.1); and (vii) except as otherwise contemplated or provided in any
Operative Agreement, no Improvement shall be demolished or otherwise rendered
unfit for use unless Lessee shall finance the proposed replacement Modification
outside of this lease facility; provided, further, Lessee shall not make any
Modification (unless required by any Legal Requirement) to the extent any such
Modification, individually or in the aggregate, shall have or could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Lessee shall not remove or
attempt to remove any Modification from the Property. Title to each Modification
shall vest in Lessee to the extent such Modification (a) is not financed
pursuant to the Operative Agreements, (b) is not a fixture or other real estate
interest, (c) is readily removable without causing material damage to the
Property, (d) is not required in order for the Property to comply with any Legal
Requirement, any Insurance Requirement or any requirement of Section 8.3 of this
Lease and (e) is not necessary to conform to any applicable manufacturer's
specification and/or standard. Title to all other Modifications shall
immediately and without further action upon their incorporation into the
Property (1) become property of Lessor, (2) be subject to this Lease and (3) be
titled in the name of Lessor. Lessee at its sole cost and expense shall repair
in a good and workmanlike manner any and all damage done to the Property due to
the removal, detachment, attempted removal or attempted detachment of any
Modification from the Property and all such repairs shall be completed by the
earlier of (a) thirty (30) days after such removal, detachment, attempted
removal or attempted detachment of the applicable Modification from the
applicable Property and (b) the applicable Expiration Date. Lessee shall not
remove, detach or attempt to remove or detach any Modification from the Property
except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.1. The Lessor
acknowledges Lessee's right to finance and to secure under the Uniform
Commercial Code, inventory, furnishings, furniture, equipment, machinery,
leasehold improvements and other personal property located at the Property,
other than the Equipment and Modifications required to be titled in the name of
Lessor and excluding in all cases fixtures, and Lessor agrees, at Lessee's cost
and expenses, to execute Lessor waiver forms, releases of Lessor Liens and other
similar documentation (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor
and the Agent) in favor or any purchase money seller, lessor or lender who has
financed or may finance in the future such items.

                  (b) The construction process provided for in the Construction
Agency Agreement is acknowledged by Lessor to be consistent with and in
compliance with the terms and provisions of this Article XI.

                                  ARTICLE XII

         SECTION 12.1 WARRANTY OF TITLE.

                  (a) Lessee hereby acknowledges and shall cause title in the
Property (including without limitation all Equipment, all Improvements, all
replacement components to the Property and all Modifications, other than
Modifications titled in Lessee's name pursuant to

                                       12
<PAGE>   18
Section 11.1(a)) immediately and without further action to vest in and become
the property of Lessor and to be subject to the terms of this Lease from and
after the date hereof or such date of incorporation into the Property. Lessee
agrees that, subject to the terms of Article XIII relating to permitted
contests, Lessee shall not directly or indirectly create or allow to remain, and
shall promptly discharge at its sole cost and expense, any Lien, defect,
attachment, levy, title retention agreement or claim upon the Property, any
component thereof or any Modifications (other than Modifications titled in
Lessee's name pursuant to Section 11.1(a)) or any Lien, attachment, levy or
claim with respect to the Rent or with respect to any amounts held by Lessor,
the Agent, any Lender or any Holder pursuant to any Operative Agreement, other
than Permitted Liens and Lessor Liens. Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor in
the event it receives actual knowledge that a Lien other than a Permitted Lien
or Lessor Lien has occurred with respect to the Property, the Rent or any other
such amounts, and Lessee represents and warrants to, and covenants with, Lessor
that the Liens in favor of Lessor and/or the Agent created by the Operative
Agreements are (and until the Financing Parties under the Operative Agreements
have been paid in full shall remain) first priority perfected Liens subject only
to Permitted Liens and Lessor Liens. At all times subsequent to the Basic Term
Commencement Date respecting a portion of the Property, Lessee shall (i) cause a
valid, perfected, first priority Lien on the applicable portion of the Property
to be in place in favor of the Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders and the
Holders) and (ii) file, or cause to be filed, all necessary documents under the
applicable real property law and Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code to
perfect such title and Liens.

                  (b) Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as
constituting the consent or request of Lessor, expressed or implied, to or for
the performance by any contractor, mechanic, laborer, materialman, supplier or
vendor of any labor or services or for the furnishing of any materials for any
construction, alteration, addition, repair or demolition of or to the Property
or any part thereof. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT LESSOR IS NOT AND SHALL NOT BE
LIABLE FOR ANY LABOR, SERVICES OR MATERIALS FURNISHED OR TO BE FURNISHED TO
LESSEE, OR TO ANYONE HOLDING THE PROPERTY OR ANY PORTION THEREOF THROUGH OR
UNDER LESSEE, AND THAT NO MECHANIC'S OR OTHER LIENS FOR ANY SUCH LABOR, SERVICES
OR MATERIALS SHALL ATTACH TO OR AFFECT THE INTEREST OF LESSOR IN AND TO THE

and expense, may contest, by appropriate administrative or judicial proceedings
conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount, validity or
application, in whole or in part, of any Legal Requirement, Imposition or
utility charge payable pursuant to Section 4.1 or any Lien, attachment, levy,
encumbrance or encroachment, and Lessor agrees not to pay, settle or otherwise
compromise any such item, provided, that (a) the commencement and continuation
of such proceedings shall suspend the collection of any such contested amount
from, and suspend the enforcement thereof against, the Property, Lessor, each
Holder, the Agent and each Lender; (b) there shall be no substantial risk of the
imposition of a Lien (other than Permitted Liens and Lessor Liens) on the

part of the Property nor any Rent would be in any danger of being sold,
forfeited, lost or deferred; (c) at no time during the permitted contest shall
there be a risk of the imposition of criminal liability or material civil
liability on Lessor, any Holder, the Agent or any Lender for failure to comply
therewith; and (d) in the event that, at any time, there shall be a material
risk of extending the application of such item beyond the end of the applicable
Term, then Lessee shall deliver to Lessor an Officer's Certificate certifying as
to the matters set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 13.1.
Lessor, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, shall execute and deliver to Lessee
such authorizations and other documents as may reasonably be required in
connection with any such contest and, if reasonably requested by Lessee, shall
join as a party therein at Lessee's sole cost and expense.

         SECTION 13.2 IMPOSITIONS, UTILITY CHARGES, OTHER MATTERS; COMPLIANCE
WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS. Except with respect to Impositions, Legal Requirements,
utility charges and such other matters referenced in Section 13.1 which are the
subject of ongoing proceedings contesting the same in a manner consistent with
the requirements of Section 13.1, Lessee shall cause (a) all Impositions,
utility charges and such other matters to be timely paid, settled or
compromised, as appropriate, with respect to the Property and (b) the Property
to comply with all applicable Legal Requirements; provided, that during the
Construction Period for any portion of the Property, the costs of such
compliance for such portion of the Property shall be paid by Lessor; provided,
further, the Lessor shall pay such amounts described in this Section 13.2 only
if funds are made available by the Lenders and the Holders in an amount
sufficient to allow such payment.

                                  ARTICLE XIV

         SECTION 14.1 PUBLIC LIABILITY AND WORKERS' COMPENSATION INSURANCE.
During the Term for each portion of the Property, Lessee shall procure and
carry, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, commercial general liability and
umbrella liability insurance for claims for injuries or death sustained by
persons or damage to property while on such portion of the Property or
respecting the Equipment and such other public liability coverages (including
automobile liability and other liability coverages) as are then customarily
carried by similarly situated companies conducting business similar to that
conducted by Lessee. Such insurance shall be on terms and in amounts that are no
less favorable than insurance maintained by Lessee with respect to similar
properties and equipment that it owns and are then carried by similarly situated
companies conducting business similar to that conducted by Lessee, and in no
event shall have a minimum combined single limit per occurrence coverage (i) for
commercial general liability of not less than $2,000,000 and (ii) for umbrella
liability of not less than $15,000,000. The policies shall name Lessee as the
insured and shall be endorsed to name Lessor, the Holders, the Agent and the
Lenders as additional insureds. The policies shall also specifically provide
that such policies shall be considered primary insurance which shall apply to
any loss or claim before any contribution by any insurance which Lessor, any
Holder, the Agent or any Lender may have in force. In the operation of the
Property, Lessee shall comply with applicable workers' compensation laws and
protect Lessor, each Holder, the Agent and each Lender against any liability
under such laws.

         SECTION 14.2 PERMANENT HAZARD AND OTHER INSURANCE AND INSURANCE
COVERAGE TO BE MAINTAINED BY OTHER PARTIES.

                  (a) Commencing on or prior to the Construction Commencement
Date in respect of any portion of the Property and at all times thereafter until
the Basic Term Commencement Date in respect of such portion of the Property,
Lessee shall maintain builders' risk insurance with respect to such portion of
the Property insuring against all risk of physical loss or damage by fire,
earthquake and other risks, in each case in amounts no less than the then
current replacement value of such portion of the Property (assuming that such
portion of the Property was in the condition required by the terms of this Lease
immediately prior to such loss) and on terms that (i) are no less favorable than
insurance covering other similar properties owned by Lessee and (ii) are then
carried by similarly situated companies conducting business similar to that
conducted by Lessee. From and after the Basic Term Commencement Date in respect
of any portion of the Property, Lessee shall keep such portion of the Property
insured against such risks of physical loss or damage as Lessee and the Agent
shall mutually agree upon prior to such date, and shall maintain builders' risk
insurance during construction of any Improvements or Modifications, in each case
in amounts no less than the then current replacement value of such portion of
the Property (assuming that such portion of the Property was in the condition
required by the terms of this Lease immediately prior to such loss) and on terms
that (i) are no less favorable than insurance covering other similar properties
owned by Lessee and (ii) are then carried by similarly situated companies
conducting business similar to that conducted by Lessee. All policies required
under this Section 14.2(a) shall name Lessee as the insured and shall be
endorsed to name Lessor and the Agent (on behalf of the Lenders and the Holders)
as a named additional insured and loss payee, to the extent of their respective
interests; provided, so long as no Material Default or Event of Default exists,
any loss payable under the insurance policies required by this Section for
losses up to $1,000,000 will be paid to Lessee.

                  (b) If, during the Term with respect to a portion of the
Property the area in which such portion of the Property is located is designated
a "flood-prone" area pursuant to the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, or
any amendments or supplements thereto or is in a zone designated A or V, then
Lessee shall comply with the National Flood Insurance Program as set forth in
the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973. In addition, Lessee will fully comply
with the requirements of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 and the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as each may be amended from time to time, and
with any other Legal Requirement, concerning flood insurance to the extent that
it applies to the Property or any such portion thereof. During the applicable
Term, Lessee shall, in the operation and use of the Property, maintain (i)
workers' compensation insurance consistent with that carried by similarly
situated companies conducting business similar to that conducted by Lessee and
containing minimum liability limits of no less than $100,000 and (ii) automobile
liability insurance in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. In
the operation of the Property, Lessee shall comply with workers' compensation
laws applicable to Lessee, and protect Lessor, each Holder, the Agent and each
Lender against any liability under such laws.

                  (c) Lessee shall cause the general contractor and each
subcontractor hired with respect to the construction of any of the Improvements
and all other consultants, engineers and architects hired in connection with the
Property to carry general liability insurance, professional liability insurance
(if applicable and if obtainable pursuant to commercially

                                       15
<PAGE>   21
reasonable efforts), workers compensation insurance and automobile liability
insurance, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor.

         SECTION 14.3 COVERAGE.

                  (a) As of the date of this Lease and annually thereafter
during the applicable Term, Lessee shall furnish the Agent (on behalf of Lessor
and the other beneficiaries of such insurance coverage) with ACCORD Evidence of
Insurance and, if requested by Lessor, certified copies of insurance policies
showing the insurance required under Sections 14.1 and 14.2 to be in effect as
of such date, naming (to the extent of their respective interests) Lessor, the
Holders, the Agent and the Lenders as additional insureds and loss payees and
evidencing the other requirements of this Article XIV. Copies of all builders'
risk insurance required pursuant to Section 14.2(a) shall be delivered to Agent
prior to the applicable Construction Commencement Date for Agent's review and
approval, and copies of all other insurance policies required pursuant to
Section 14.2(a) shall be delivered to Agent prior to the applicable Basic Term
Commencement Date for Agent's review and approval. All such insurance shall be
at the cost and expense of Lessee and provided by nationally recognized,
financially sound insurance companies having a rating by A.M. Best's Key Rating
Guide of at least an (i) A- and a Financial Performance Rating of at least a IX
(regarding all hazard insurance coverages) and (ii) A- and a Financial
Performance Rating of at least a IX (regarding all liability insurance
coverages). Lessee shall cause such evidence of insurance to include a provision
for thirty (30) days' advance written notice by the insurer to the Agent (on
behalf of Lessor and the other beneficiaries of such insurance coverage) in the
event of cancellation or material alteration of such insurance. If an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing and the Agent (on behalf of Lessor and
the other beneficiaries of such insurance coverage) so requests, Lessee shall
deliver to the Agent (on behalf of Lessor and the other beneficiaries of such
insurance coverage) copies of all insurance policies required by Sections 14.1
and 14.2.

                  (b) Lessee agrees that the insurance policy or policies
required by Sections 14.1, 14.2(a), 14.2(b) and 14.2(c) shall include an
appropriate clause pursuant to which any such policy shall provide that it will
not be invalidated should Lessee or any Contractor, as the case may be, waive,
at any time, any or all rights of recovery against any party for losses covered
by such policy or due to any breach of warranty, fraud, action, inaction or
misrepresentation by Lessee or any Person acting on behalf of Lessee. Lessee
hereby waives any and all such rights against Lessor, the Holders, the Agent and
the Lenders to the extent of payments made to any such Person under any such
policy.

                  (c) Neither Lessor nor Lessee shall carry separate insurance
concurrent in kind or form or contributing in the event of loss with any
insurance required under this Article XIV, except that Lessor may carry separate
liability insurance at Lessor's sole cost so long as (i) Lessee's insurance is
designated as primary and in no event excess or contributory to any insurance
Lessor may have in force which would apply to a loss covered under Lessee's
policy and (ii) each such insurance policy will not cause Lessee's insurance
required under this Article XIV to be subject to a coinsurance exception of any
kind.

                  (d) Lessee shall pay as they become due all premiums for the
insurance required by Section 14.1 and Sections 14.2(a) and 14.2(b), shall renew
or replace each policy

                                       16
<PAGE>   22
prior to the expiration date thereof or otherwise maintain the coverage required
by such Sections without any lapse in coverage; provided, that during any
Construction Period, the cost of such insurance with respect to the applicable
portion of the Property shall be paid by Lessor; provided, further, the Lessor
shall pay such amounts described in this Section 14.3(d) only if funds are made
available by the Lenders and the Holders in an amount sufficient to allow such
payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during any Construction Period, the
Construction Agent shall cause the insurance coverages referenced in Sections
14.1, 14.2(a), 14.2(b) and 14.2(c) to be procured.

         SECTION 14.4 ADDITIONAL INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS. Not in limitation of
any provision of the Operative Agreements but in addition thereto, Lessee shall
obtain any and all additional insurance policies with regard to the Property or
otherwise with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Operative
Agreements as reasonably requested from time to time by Lessor.

                                  ARTICLE XV

         SECTION 15.1 CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION.

                  (a) Subject to this Article XV and Article XVI (in the event
Lessee delivers, or is obligated to deliver or is deemed to have delivered, a
Termination Notice), and prior to the occurrence and continuation of a Material
Default or an Event of Default, Lessee shall be entitled to receive directly
(and Lessor hereby irrevocably assigns to Lessee all of Lessor's right, title
and interest in) any condemnation proceeds, award, compensation or insurance
proceeds under Sections 14.2(a) or 14.2(b) hereof to which Lessee or Lessor or
any additional insured Person under Sections 14.2(a) or 14.2(b) may become
entitled by reason of their respective interests in the Property (i) if all or a
portion of the Property is damaged or destroyed in whole or in part by a
Casualty or (ii) if the use, access, occupancy, easement rights or title to the
Property or any portion thereof or any appurtenance thereto is the subject of a
Condemnation; provided, however, if a Material Default or an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing or if such award, compensation or
insurance proceeds shall exceed $1,000,000, then such award, compensation or
insurance proceeds shall be paid directly to Lessor or, if received by Lessee,
shall be held in trust for Lessor, and shall be paid over by Lessee to Lessor
and held in accordance with the terms of this Article XV or, if applicable,
applied to the repayment of the Property Cost in accordance with Section 16 on
the Termination Date. All amounts held by Lessor hereunder on account of any
award, compensation or insurance proceeds either paid directly to Lessor or
turned over to Lessor shall be held as security for the performance of Lessee's
obligations hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements and when all such
obligations of Lessee with respect to such matters (and all other obligations of
Lessee which should have been satisfied pursuant to the Operative Agreements as
of such date) have been satisfied, all amounts so held by Lessor shall be paid
over to Lessee.

                  (b) Lessee may appear in any proceeding or action to
negotiate, prosecute, adjust or appeal any claim for any award, compensation or
insurance payment on account of any such Casualty or Condemnation and shall pay
all expenses thereof; provided, that in the case of a Casualty or Condemnation
with respect to a portion of the Property occurring during any Construction
Period therefor, such expenses shall be paid by Lessor; provided, further, the

                                       17
<PAGE>   23
Lessor shall pay such amounts described in this Section 15.1(b) only if funds
are made available by the Lenders and the Holders in an amount sufficient to
allow such payment. At Lessee's reasonable request, and at Lessee's sole cost
and expense, Lessor and the Agent shall participate in any such proceeding,
action, negotiation, prosecution or adjustment; provided, that in the case of a
Casualty or Condemnation with respect to a portion of the Property occurring
during any Construction Period therefor, such expenses shall be paid by Lessor;
provided, further, the Lessor shall pay such amounts described in this Section
15.1(b) only if funds are made available by the Lenders and the Holders in an
amount sufficient to allow such payment. Lessor and Lessee agree that this Lease
shall control the rights of Lessor and Lessee in and to any such award,
compensation or insurance payment.

                  (c) If Lessee shall receive notice of a Casualty or a
Condemnation of the Property or any portion thereof or any interest therein
where damage to the Property or such portion is estimated to equal or exceed
twenty-five percent (25%) of the Property Cost of the Property or such portion,
as the case may be, Lessee shall give notice thereof to Lessor promptly after
Lessee's receipt of such notice. In the event such a Casualty or Condemnation
occurs (regardless of whether Lessee gives notice thereof), then Lessee shall be
deemed to have delivered a Termination Notice to Lessor with respect to the
Property or the applicable portion thereof and the provisions of Sections 16.1
and 16.2 shall apply.

                  (d) In the event of a Casualty or a Condemnation (regardless
of whether notice thereof must be given pursuant to paragraph (c)), this Lease
shall terminate with respect to the Property or applicable portion thereof in
accordance with Section 16.1 if Lessee, within thirty (30) days after such
occurrence, delivers to Lessor a notice to such effect.

                  (e) If pursuant to this Section 15.1 this Lease shall continue
in full force and effect following a Casualty or Condemnation with respect to
the Property or affected portion thereof, Lessee shall, at its sole cost and
expense (subject to reimbursement in accordance with Section 15.1(a)) promptly
and diligently repair any damage to the Property or affected portion thereof
caused by such Casualty or Condemnation in conformity with the requirements of
Sections 10.1 and 11.1, using the as-built Plans and Specifications or
manufacturer's specifications for the applicable Improvements, Equipment or
other components of the applicable portion of the Property (as modified to give
effect to any subsequent Modifications, any Condemnation affecting the
applicable portion of the Property and all applicable Legal Requirements), so as
to restore the applicable portion of the Property to the same or a greater
remaining economic value, useful life, utility, condition, operation and
function as existed immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation (assuming
all maintenance and repair standards have been satisfied). In such event, title
to the applicable portion of the Property shall remain with Lessor. Lessor shall
make disbursements from time to time of any award, compensation or insurance
proceeds held by it to Lessee for application to the cost of restoration subject
to the satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) Lessor shall have received
a fully executed counterpart of a requisition therefor (in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Lessor), requesting funds in an amount not exceeding
the cost of work completed or insured since the last disbursement, together with
reasonably satisfactory evidence of the state of completion and of performance
of the work in a good and workman-like manner and in accordance with the
applicable as-built Plans and Specifications, (ii) at the time of any such
disbursement, no Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing,

                                       18
<PAGE>   24
and no mechanic's or materialmen's liens shall have been filed and remain
undischarged, except those discharged by the disbursement of the requested funds
or which are otherwise bonded, (iii) Lessor shall be reasonably satisfied that
sufficient funds are available to complete such restoration and (iv) Lessor
shall have good and marketable title to the Property, subject only to Permitted
Liens. Provided no Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, any award, compensation or insurance proceeds remaining after
restoration of the Property as herein provided shall be paid to Lessee.

                  (f) In no event shall a Casualty or Condemnation affect
Lessee's obligations to pay Rent pursuant to Article III.

                  (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in
Section 15.1(a) or Section 15.1(e), if during the Term with respect to any
portion of the Property a Casualty occurs with respect to such portion thereof
or Lessee receives notice of a Condemnation with respect to the Property or such
portion thereof, and following such Casualty or Condemnation, the Property or
such portion thereof cannot reasonably be restored, repaired or replaced on or
before the day one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the related Expiration
Date or the date nine (9) months after the occurrence of such Casualty or
Condemnation (if such Casualty or Condemnation occurs during the applicable
Term) to the same or a greater remaining economic value, useful life, utility,
condition, operation and function as existed immediately prior to such Casualty
or Condemnation (assuming all maintenance and repair standards have been
satisfied) or on or before such day the Property or such portion is not in fact
so restored, repaired or replaced, then Lessee shall be required to exercise its
Purchase Option for the Property or the applicable portion thereof on the next
Payment Date (notwithstanding the limits on such exercise contained in Section
20.2) and pay Lessor the Termination Value for the Property or the applicable
portion thereof; provided, if any Default or Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, Lessee shall also promptly (and in any event within three (3)
Business Days) pay Lessor any award, compensation or insurance proceeds received
on account of any Casualty or Condemnation with respect to the Property or any
portion thereof; provided, further, that if no Material Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, any Excess Proceeds shall be paid to
Lessee. If a Material Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and any Loans, Holder Advances or other amounts are owing with
respect thereto, then any Excess Proceeds (to the extent of any such Loans,
Holder Advances or other amounts owing with respect thereto) shall be paid to
Lessor, held as security for the performance of Lessee's obligations hereunder
and under the other Operative Agreements and applied to such obligations upon
the exercise of remedies in connection with the occurrence of an Event of
Default, with the remainder of such Excess Proceeds in excess of such Loans,
Holder Advances and other amounts owing with respect thereto being distributed
to the Lessee.

                  (h) If a Casualty or Condemnation occurs with respect to any
portion of the Property prior to the Construction Period Termination Date
applicable to such portion of the Property, the applicable provisions of the
Construction Agency Agreement shall control to the extent of any inconsistency
between the provisions of this Section 15.1 and the Construction Agency
Agreement.

         SECTION 15.2 ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. Promptly upon Lessee's actual
knowledge of the presence of Hazardous Substances in any portion of the Property
or in concentrations and

                                       19
<PAGE>   25
conditions that constitute an Environmental Violation and which, in the
reasonable opinion of Lessee, the cost to undertake any legally required
response, clean up, remedial or other action will or might result in a cost to
Lessee of more than $50,000, Lessee shall notify Lessor in writing of such
condition. In the event of any Environmental Violation (regardless of whether
notice thereof must be given), Lessee shall, not later than thirty (30) days
after Lessee has actual knowledge of such Environmental Violation, either
deliver to Lessor a Termination Notice with respect to the Property or
applicable portion thereof pursuant to Section 16.1, if applicable, or, at
Lessee's sole cost and expense, promptly and diligently undertake and diligently
complete any response, clean up, remedial or other action (including without
limitation the pursuit by Lessee of appropriate action against any off-site or
third party source for contamination) necessary to remove, cleanup or remediate
the Environmental Violation in accordance with all Environmental Laws. Any such
undertaking shall be timely completed in accordance with prudent industry
standards. If Lessee does not deliver a Termination Notice with respect to the
Property or applicable portion thereof pursuant to Section 16.1, Lessee shall,
upon completion of remedial action by Lessee, cause to be prepared by a
reputable environmental consultant acceptable to Lessor a report describing the
Environmental Violation and the actions taken by Lessee (or its agents) in
response to such Environmental Violation, and a statement by the consultant that
the Environmental Violation has been remedied in full compliance with applicable
Environmental Law. Not less than sixty (60) days prior to any time that Lessee
elects to remarket any portion of the Property pursuant to Section 20.1 hereof
or any other provision of any Operative Agreement, Lessee at its expense shall
cause to be delivered to Lessor an environmental site assessment respecting the
Property or applicable portion thereof recently prepared (no more than thirty
(30) days prior to the date of delivery) by an independent recognized
professional acceptable to Lessor in its reasonable discretion and in form,
scope and content satisfactory to Lessor in its reasonable discretion.
Notwithstanding any other provision of any Operative Agreement, if Lessee fails
to comply with the foregoing obligation regarding the environmental site
assessment, Lessee shall be obligated to purchase the Property or applicable
portion thereof for its Termination Value and shall not be permitted to exercise
(and Lessor shall have no obligation to honor any such exercise) any rights
under any Operative Agreement regarding a sale of such portion of the Property
to a Person other than Lessee.

         SECTION 15.3 NOTICE OF ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. Promptly, but in any
event within five (5) Business Days from the date Lessee has actual knowledge
thereof, Lessee shall provide to Lessor written notice of any pending or
threatened claim, action or proceeding involving any Environmental Law or any
Release on or in connection with the Property. All such notices shall describe
in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, action or proceeding and Lessee's
proposed response thereto. In addition, Lessee shall provide to Lessor, within
five (5) Business Days of receipt, copies of all material written communications
with any Governmental Authority relating to any Environmental Law in connection
with the Property. Lessee shall also promptly provide such detailed reports of
any such material environmental claims as may reasonably be requested by Lessor.

                                  ARTICLE XVI

         SECTION 16.1 TERMINATION UPON CERTAIN EVENTS. If Lessee has delivered,

irrevocable agreement of Lessee to pay the Termination Value for the Property or
applicable portion thereof and purchase the Property or applicable portion
thereof on such Termination Date.

                  (b) On each Termination Date, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the
Termination Value for the Property or applicable portion thereof, and Lessor
shall convey the Property or the applicable portion thereof, as the case may be,
to Lessee (or Lessee's designee), all in accordance with Section 20.2.

becoming aware of such failure to deliver, or notice from the Agent of such
failure to deliver;

                  (d) Any representation or warranty made by any Credit Party

                  any term, covenant or agreement contained in Sections 8.3A(b),
                  8.3A(h), 8.3A(i) or 8.3B(a) through 8.3B(o) of the

                  an officer of such Credit Party becoming aware of such default
                  or notice thereof by the Agent; provided, however, that if
                  such default is of a nature that is not capable of being cured
                  within such thirty (30) day period, and the Lessee or any
                  other such Credit Party promptly commences appropriate steps
                  to cure such default within such thirty (30) day period and
                  continues to pursue such cure with diligence and good faith
                  thereafter, unless the Agent shall determine that such delay
                  could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
                  Effect, such thirty (30) day period shall be extended for an
                  additional sixty (60) days;

                  (m) A final judgment or judgments for the payment of money
shall be rendered by a court or courts against any Credit Party or any
Subsidiary of any Credit Party or any of their assets in excess of $10,000,000

not be made for such discharge), or a stay of execution thereof shall not be
procured, within thirty (30) days from the date of entry thereof, or (ii) any
Credit Party or any such Subsidiary shall not, within said period of thirty (30)
days, or such longer period during which execution of the same shall have been
stayed, appeal therefrom and cause the execution thereof to be stayed during
such appeal, or (iii) such judgment or judgments shall not be discharged (or
provisions shall not be made for such discharge) within thirty (30) days after a
decision has been reached with respect to such appeal and the related stay has
been lifted;

                  (n) Any Credit Party or any member of the Controlled Group
shall fail to pay when due an amount or amounts aggregating in excess of
$5,000,000 which it shall have become liable to pay to the PBGC or to a Pension
Plan under Title IV of ERISA; or notice of intent to terminate a Pension Plan or
Pension Plans having aggregate Unfunded Liabilities in excess of $5,000,000
shall be filed under Title IV of ERISA by any Credit Party or any member of the
Controlled Group, any plan administrator or any combination of the foregoing; or
the PBGC shall institute proceedings under Title IV of ERISA to terminate or to
cause a trustee to be appointed to administer any such Pension Plan or Pension
Plans or a proceeding shall be instituted by a fiduciary of any such Pension
Plan or Pension Plans against any Credit Party or any member of the Controlled
Group to enforce Section 515 or 4219(c)(5) of ERISA; or a condition shall exist

<PAGE>   29
                  (q) Except as to any Credit Party which is released in
accordance with the Operative Agreements, the guaranty given by any Guarantor
under the Participation Agreement or any material provision thereof shall cease
to be in full force and effect, or any Guarantor or any Person acting by or on
behalf of such Guarantor shall deny or disaffirm such Guarantor's obligations
under such guaranty, or any Guarantor shall default in the due performance or

observed pursuant to any guaranty;

                  (r) the occurrence and continuance of any event, condition or
other circumstance to the extent attributable to or resulting from any act or
omission of any Credit Party that has a Material Adverse Effect; or

                  (s) in the event Lessee is not purchasing the Property or
applicable portion thereof upon the applicable Expiration Date or earlier
termination of this Lease, failure to comply with the return conditions set
forth in Articles XX and XXII hereof;

then, in any such event, Lessor may, in addition to the other rights and
remedies provided for in this Article XVII and in Section 18.1, terminate this
Lease by giving Lessee five (5) days notice of such termination (provided,
notwithstanding the foregoing, this Lease shall be deemed to be automatically
terminated without the giving of notice upon the occurrence of a Lease Event of
Default under Sections 17.1(g), (h) or (i), and this Lease shall terminate, and
all rights of Lessee under this Lease shall cease. Lessee shall, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, pay as Supplemental Rent all reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by or on behalf of Lessor or any other Financing Party,
including without limitation reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, as a
result of any Lease Event of Default hereunder.

         A POWER OF SALE HAS BEEN GRANTED IN THIS LEASE. A POWER OF SALE MAY
ALLOW LESSOR TO TAKE THE PROPERTY OR ANY PORTION THEREOF AND SELL THE PROPERTY
OR SUCH PORTION WITHOUT GOING TO COURT IN A FORECLOSURE ACTION UPON THE
OCCURRENCE OF A LEASE EVENT OF DEFAULT.

                  SECTION 17.2 SURRENDER OF POSSESSION. If a Lease Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and whether or not this Lease
shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 17.1, Lessee shall, upon thirty
(30) days written notice, surrender to Lessor possession of the Property. Lessor
may enter upon and repossess the Property by such means as are available at law
or in equity, and may remove Lessee and all other Persons and any and all
personal property and Lessee's equipment and personalty and severable
Modifications from the Property. Lessor shall have no liability by reason of any
such entry, repossession or removal performed in accordance with applicable law.
Upon the written demand of Lessor, Lessee shall return the Property promptly to
Lessor, in the manner and condition required by, and otherwise in accordance
with the provisions of, Section 22.1(c) hereof.

                  SECTION 17.3 RELETTING. If a Lease Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, and whether or not this Lease shall have been
terminated pursuant to Section 17.1, Lessor may, but shall be under no
obligation to, relet all or any portion of the Property, for the account of
Lessee or otherwise, for such term or terms (which may be greater or less than
the

                                       24
<PAGE>   30
period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term with
respect to any applicable portion of the Property) and on such conditions (which
may include concessions or free rent) and for such purposes as Lessor may
determine, and Lessor may collect, receive and retain the rents resulting from
such reletting. Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee for any failure to relet
the Property or any portion thereof or for any failure to collect any rent due
upon such reletting.

         SECTION 17.4 DAMAGES. Neither (a) the termination of this Lease as to
the Property or any portion thereof pursuant to Section 17.1; (b) the
repossession of the Property or any portion thereof; nor (c) the failure of
Lessor to relet the Property or any portion thereof, the reletting of all or any
portion thereof, nor the failure of Lessor to collect or receive any rentals due
upon any such reletting, shall relieve Lessee of its liabilities and obligations
hereunder, all of which shall survive any such termination, repossession or
reletting. If any Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
and notwithstanding any termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 17.1,
Lessee shall forthwith pay to Lessor all Rent and other sums due and payable
hereunder to and including without limitation the date of such termination.
Thereafter, on the days on which the Basic Rent or Supplemental Rent, as
applicable, are payable under this Lease or would have been payable under this
Lease if the same had not been terminated pursuant to Section 17.1 and until the
end of the final Term hereof or what would have been the final Term in the
absence of such termination, Lessee shall pay Lessor, as current liquidated
damages (it being agreed that it would be impossible accurately to determine
actual damages) an amount equal to the Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent that are
payable under this Lease or would have been payable by Lessee hereunder if this
Lease had not been terminated pursuant to Section 17.1, less the net proceeds,
if any, which are actually received by Lessor with respect to the period in
question of any reletting of the Property or any portion thereof; provided, that
Lessee's obligation to make payments of Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent under
this Section 17.4 shall continue only so long as Lessor shall not have received
the amounts specified in Section 17.6. In calculating the amount of such net
proceeds from reletting, there shall be deducted all of Lessor's, any Holder's,
the Agent's and any Lender's reasonable expenses in connection therewith,
including without limitation repossession costs, brokerage or sales commissions,
fees and expenses for counsel and any necessary repair or alteration costs and
expenses incurred in preparation for such reletting. To the extent Lessor
receives any damages pursuant to this Section 17.4, such amounts shall be
regarded as amounts paid on account of Rent. Lessee specifically acknowledges
and agrees that its obligations under this Section 17.4 shall be absolute and
unconditional under any and all circumstances and shall be paid and/or
performed, as the case may be, without notice or demand and without any
abatement, reduction, diminution, setoff, defense, counterclaim or recoupment
whatsoever.

         SECTION 17.5 POWER OF SALE. Without limiting any other remedies set
forth in this Lease, Lessor and Lessee agree that Lessee has granted, pursuant
to Section 7.1(b) hereof and each Lease Supplement, a Lien against the Property
WITH POWER OF SALE, and that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
any Lease Event of Default, Lessor shall have the power and authority, to the
extent provided by law, after prior notice and lapse of such time as may be
required by law, to foreclose its interest (or cause such interest to be
foreclosed) in all or any portion of the Property.

                                       25
<PAGE>   31
         SECTION 17.6 FINAL LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. Subject to Section 17.11 and to
the limitations of the Construction Agency Agreement, if a Lease Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, whether or not this Lease shall
have been terminated pursuant to Section 17.1 and whether or not Lessor shall
have collected any current liquidated damages pursuant to Section 17.4, Lessor
shall have the right to recover, by demand to Lessee and at Lessor's election,
and Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as and for final liquidated damages, but
exclusive of the indemnities payable under Section 11 of the Participation
Agreement (which, if requested, shall be paid concurrently), and in lieu of all
current liquidated damages beyond the date of such demand (it being agreed that
it would be impossible accurately to determine actual damages) the Termination
Value in respect to all of the Property then subject to this Lease. Upon payment
of the amount specified pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 17.6,
Lessee shall be entitled to receive from Lessor, either at Lessee's request or
upon Lessor's election, in either case at Lessee's cost, an assignment of
Lessor's entire right, title and interest in and to the Property, Improvements,
Fixtures, Modifications, Equipment and all components thereof, in each case in
recordable form and otherwise in conformity with local custom and free and clear
of the Lien of this Lease (including without limitation the release of the Lease
and the Memorandum of Lease recorded in connection therewith) and any Lessor
Liens. The Property shall be conveyed to Lessee "AS-IS, WHERE-IS" and in its
then present physical condition. If any statute or rule of law shall limit the
amount of such final liquidated damages to less than the amount agreed upon,
Lessor shall be entitled to the maximum amount allowable under such statute or
rule of law; provided, however, Lessee shall not be entitled to receive an
assignment of Lessor's interest in the Property, the Improvements, Fixtures,
Modifications, Equipment or the components thereof unless Lessee shall have paid
in full the Termination Value in respect of all of the Property then subject to
this Lease. Lessee specifically acknowledges and agrees that its obligations
under this Section 17.6 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all
circumstances and shall be paid and/or performed, as the case may be, without
notice or demand and without any abatement, reduction, diminution, setoff,
defense, counterclaim or recoupment whatsoever.

         SECTION 17.7 ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS. If a Lease Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, and whether or not this Lease shall have been
terminated pursuant to Section 17.1, Lessee shall pay directly to any third
party (or at Lessor's election, reimburse Lessor) for the cost of any
environmental testing and/or remediation work undertaken respecting the
Property, as such testing or work is deemed appropriate in the reasonable
judgment of Lessor, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Lessor and each other
Indemnified Person therefrom. Lessee shall pay all amounts referenced in the
immediately preceding sentence within ten (10) days of any request by Lessor for
such payment. The provisions of this Section 17.7 shall not limit the
obligations of Lessee under any Operative Agreement regarding indemnification
obligations, environmental testing, remediation and/or work.

         SECTION 17.8 WAIVER OF CERTAIN RIGHTS. If this Lease shall be
terminated pursuant to Section 17.1, Lessee waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by Law, (a) any notice of re-entry or the institution of legal
proceedings to obtain re-entry or possession; (b) any right of redemption,
re-entry or possession; (c) the benefit of any laws now or hereafter in force
exempting property from liability for rent or for debt; and (d) any other rights
which might otherwise limit or modify any of Lessor's rights or remedies under
this Article XVII.

                                       26
<PAGE>   32
         SECTION 17.9 ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS UNDER CONTRACTS. If a Lease Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and whether or not this Lease
shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 17.1, Lessee shall upon Lessor's
demand immediately assign, transfer and set over to Lessor all of Lessee's
right, title and interest in and to each agreement executed by Lessee in
connection with the acquisition, installation, testing, use, development,
construction, operation, maintenance, repair, refurbishment and restoration of
the Property or any portion thereof (including without limitation all right,
title and interest of Lessee with respect to all warranty, performance, service
and indemnity provisions), as and to the extent that the same relate to the
acquisition, installation, testing, use, development, construction, operation,
maintenance, repair, refurbishment and restoration of the Property or any
portion thereof.

         SECTION 17.10 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Lessor shall be entitled to enforce
payment of all amounts and performance of obligations evidenced hereby and to
exercise all rights and powers under this instrument or under any of the other
Operative Agreements or other agreement or any laws now or hereafter in force,
notwithstanding some or all of the obligations evidenced hereby may now or
hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by deed of trust, security agreement,
pledge, lien, assignment or otherwise. Neither the acceptance of this instrument
nor its enforcement shall prejudice or in any manner affect Lessor's right to
realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by Lessor, it
being agreed that Lessor shall be entitled to enforce this instrument and any
other security now or hereafter held by Lessor in such order and manner as
Lessor may determine in its absolute discretion. No remedy herein conferred upon
or reserved to Lessor is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or
by law provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in
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 Agreements to 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 Lessor. In no event shall Lessor, in the exercise of the
remedies provided in this instrument, be deemed a "mortgagee in possession," and
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.

         SECTION 17.11 INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

         SECTION 17.12 ADDITIONAL LEASE REMEDIES. In addition to the other
rights and remedies set forth herein and provided the same do not interfere with
the exercise by Lessee of the Purchase Option in accordance with the terms of
the Operative Agreements, Lessor shall have the right to continue this Lease in
effect and, as permitted by Section 1951.4 of the California Civil Code, to
enforce, by suit or otherwise, all covenants and conditions hereof to be
performed or complied with by Lessee and exercise all of Lessor's rights and
remedies under this Lease, including, without limitation, the right to recover
Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent from Lessee as it becomes due under this Lease,
even though Lessee shall have breached this Lease and abandoned the Property.
Acts of maintenance or preservation, or efforts by Lessor or on Lessor's behalf
to relet the Property, or the appointment of a receiver upon the initiative of
Lessor to protect Lessor's interest under this Lease, shall not constitute a
termination of Lessee's right to possession of the Property; provided, however,
that the foregoing enumeration shall not be construed as in any way limiting the
actions Lessor may take without terminating Lessee's right to possession. In
furtherance of the rights hereby granted to Lessor, and to the extent permitted

                                       27
<PAGE>   33
by law, Lessee hereby appoints Lessor its agent and attorney-in-fact, which
appointment shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest and is irrevocable,
with power of substitution, to enter the Property upon a Lease Event of Default
hereunder and remove therefrom all persons and property (with the right to store
such property on the Property in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost and
risk and for the account of Lessee) and to alter the Property in such manner as
Lessor may deem necessary or advisable so as to put the Property in good order
and to make the same rentable and from time to time and sublet the Property or
any portion thereof for such term or terms whether or not extending beyond the
then current applicable term of this Lease (but such sublease may provide for a
new and successive lease to commence immediately upon the termination of this
Lease), at such rentals and upon such other terms as Lessor in its sole
discretion may deem advisable, and with the right to make alterations and
repairs to the Property; and Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor on demand all
reasonable expenses incurred by Lessor in such subletting, and in altering,
repairing and putting the Property in good order and condition, and in reletting
the same, including fees of attorneys and architects, and all other reasonable
expenses or commissions. Lessor shall be Lessee's agent and representative on
the Property in respect of all matters arising under or in connection with any
such sublease made for Lessee by Lessor. Under each such sublease, Lessee shall
retain the right to enter upon and use the Property, subject to the terms and
conditions of such sublease and the rights of the sublessee thereunder. Lessee
further agrees to pay to Lessor, following the date of such subletting, to and
including the date provided in this Lease for the expiration of the final Term,
the sums of money which would have been payable by Lessee as Basic Rent and
Supplemental Rent, deducting only the net amount of rent, if any, which Lessor
shall actually receive (after deducting from the gross receipts the expenses,
costs and payments of Lessor which in accordance with the terms of this Lease
would have been borne by Lessee) in the meantime from and by any such subletting
of the Property, and Lessee hereby agrees to remain liable for all sums
otherwise payable by Lessee under this Lease, including, but not limited to, the
expenses of Lessor aforesaid, as well as for any deficiency aforesaid. Lessor
shall have the right from time to time to begin and maintain successive actions
or other legal proceedings against Lessee for the recovery of such deficiency,
expenses or damages or for a sum equal to any installments of Basic Rent or
Supplemental Rent and other sums payable hereunder, and to recover the same upon
the liability of Lessee herein provided, which liability it is expressly
covenanted shall survive the commencement or determination of any action to
secure possession of the Property. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to
require Lessor to wait to begin such action or other legal proceedings until the
date when this Lease would have expired by limitation had there been no such
Lease Event of Default. Notwithstanding any such subletting without termination,
pursuant to the terms hereof, Lessor shall retain the right to and may at any
time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease or Lessee's right to possession of
the Property for any previous breach which remains uncured or for any subsequent
breach by giving Lessee written notice thereof as herein provided, and in such
event Lessee shall forfeit any rights or interest under any such sublease and
thereafter the obligations of any such sublessee shall run directly to Lessor
for its own account. Upon application by Lessor, a receiver may be appointed to
take possession of the Property, exercise all rights granted to Lessor as agent
and attorney-in-fact for Lessee set forth in this Section 17.12 and apply any
rentals collected from the Property as hereinabove provided. No taking of
possession of the Property or other act by Lessor as the agent and
attorney-in-fact for Lessee pursuant to the foregoing provisions, nor any
subletting by Lessor for Lessee pursuant to the foregoing provisions, nor any
such appointment of a receiver shall constitute or be construed as

                                       28
<PAGE>   34
an election by Lessor to terminate this Lease or Lessee's right to possession of
the Property unless a written notice of such intention be given to Lessee.

         SECTION 17.13 LOAN REMEDIES. If the transaction evidenced by this
Agreement and the other Operative Documents is treated as a loan, upon the
occurrence or existence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter
unless such Event of Default is waived, Lessor may, with the consent of the
Majority Secured Parties, or shall, upon instructions from the Majority Secured
Parties, exercise any one or more of the rights and remedies set forth in the
Mortgage Instruments.

                               ARTICLE XVIII

         SECTION 18.1 LESSOR'S RIGHT TO CURE LESSEE'S LEASE DEFAULTS. Lessor,
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 Lessee, including without limitation
the failure by Lessee to maintain the insurance required by Article XIV, and
may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and notwithstanding any right of
quiet enjoyment in favor of Lessee, enter upon the Property, and take all such
action thereon as may be necessary or appropriate therefor. No such entry shall
be deemed an eviction of any lessee. All out-of-pocket costs and expenses so
incurred (including without limitation 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 Lessor, shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor on demand.

                                  ARTICLE XIX

         SECTION 19.1 PROVISIONS RELATING TO LESSEE'S EXERCISE OF ITS PURCHASE
OPTION. In connection with any termination of this Lease with respect to all or
any portion of the Property pursuant to the terms of Section 16.2, or in
connection with Lessee's exercise of its Purchase Option, upon the date on which
this Lease is to terminate with respect to all or any portion of the Property,
and upon tender by Lessee of the amounts set forth in Sections 16.2(b) or 20.2,
as applicable, Lessor shall execute and deliver to Lessee (or to Lessee's
designee) at Lessee's cost and expense an assignment (by deed or other
appropriate instrument) of Lessor's entire interest in the Property or such
portion of the Property, in each case in recordable form and otherwise in
conformity with local custom and free and clear of any Lessor Liens attributable
to Lessor but without any warranties (of title or otherwise) from Lessor other
than absence of Lessor Liens. The Property or such portion thereof shall be
conveyed to Lessee "AS-IS, "WHERE-IS" and in then present physical condition.

                                  ARTICLE XX

         SECTION 20.1 PURCHASE OPTION OR SALE OPTION-GENERAL PROVISIONS. Not
less than one hundred twenty (120) days and no more than one hundred eighty
(180) days prior to the Expiration Date applicable to the Initial Improvements
or any Subsequent Improvements or

                                       29
<PAGE>   35
(respecting the Purchase Option only) any Payment Date, Lessee may give Lessor
irrevocable written notice (the "Election Notice") that Lessee is electing to
exercise either (a) (i) the option to purchase all, but not less than all, of
the related portion of the Property on such Expiration Date or on the Payment
Date specified in the Election Notice or in accordance with the Parcel Sale
Requirements, or (ii) the option to purchase at least one year prior to
applicable Expiration Date all of the Initial Improvements or any Subsequent
Improvements and related Property on the Payment Date specified in the Election
Notice for purchase (the "Purchase Option") or (b) with respect to an Election
Notice given in connection with an Expiration Date only, the option to remarket
the applicable portion of the Property to a Person other than Lessee or any
Affiliate of Lessee and cause a sale of such portion of the Property to occur on
such Expiration Date pursuant to the terms of Section 22.1 (the "Sale Option").
Regarding the purchase of less than all of the Property, at Lessee's option and
without the consent of any Financing Party, Lessee may provide irrevocable
written notice to Lessor not less than one hundred twenty (120) days and no more
than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to any Payment Date (in all cases at
least one year prior to the Expiration Date) that Lessee desires to purchase one
or more separate legal and tax parcels of the Land and such portion of the
Initial Improvements or Subsequent Improvements and related Property located
thereon, if (i) the conveyance of such portion of the Property will not impair
the access, use, occupancy or Fair Market Sales Value of the Property remaining
in the Trust, (ii) the Property remaining in the Trust (A) shall constitute one
or more legal and tax parcels, (B) shall contain at least one Building, (C)
shall be viable as a separate property in compliance with Legal Requirements and
(D) shall have a Fair Market Sales Value of 100% or more of the Property Cost
allocable to such remaining portion of the Property and (iv) at the time of sale
to Lessee of such portion of the Property, no Default or Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing (other than those that will be cured by the
payment of the Termination Value for such portion of the Property) (the terms
referenced in the foregoing subsections (i), (ii) and (iii) may be referred to
as the "Parcel Sale Requirements"). To the extent the Parcel Sale Requirements
are satisfied, Lessor shall sell such portion of the Property to Lessee. If
Lessee does not give an Election Notice indicating the Purchase Option or the
Sale Option with respect to all or any portion of the Property at least one
hundred twenty (120) days and not more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior
to the applicable Expiration Date, then, unless such Expiration Date is the
final Expiration Date to which the applicable Term may be extended, the term of
this Lease with respect to such portion of the Property shall be extended in
accordance with Section 2.2 hereof; if such Expiration Date is the final
Expiration Date with respect to such portion of the Property, or if an extension
of the applicable Term is not consented to by all Financing Parties in
accordance with the Operative Agreements, then Lessee shall be deemed to have
elected the Purchase Option. If Lessee shall either (i) elect (or be deemed to
have elected) to exercise the Purchase Option or (ii) elect the Sale Option and
fail to cause the applicable portion of the Property to be sold in accordance
with the terms of Section 22.1 on the related Expiration Date, then in either
case Lessee shall pay to Lessor on the date on which such purchase or sale is
scheduled to occur an amount equal to the Termination Value for applicable
portion of the Property (which the parties do not intend to be a "bargain"
purchase price) and, upon receipt of such amounts and satisfaction of such
obligations, Lessor shall transfer to Lessee all of Lessor's right, title and
interest in and to applicable portion of the Property in accordance with Section
20.2.

         SECTION 20.2 LESSEE PURCHASE OPTION. Provided, no Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing (other than those that will be
cured by the payment of the

                                       30
<PAGE>   36
Termination Value for all of the Property) and provided, that the Election
Notice has been appropriately given specifying the Purchase Option, Lessee shall
purchase all of the Property (or if applicable, and upon satisfaction of all
Parcel Sale Requirements, the applicable portion of the Property pursuant to a
notice provided in accordance with Section 20.1) on the related Expiration Date
or Payment Date at a price equal to the Termination Value for the Property or
such portion thereof (which the parties do not intend to be a "bargain" purchase
price).

         Subject to Section 19.2, in connection with any termination of this
Lease with respect to any portion of the Property pursuant to the terms of
Section 16.2, or in connection with Lessee's exercise of its Purchase Option,
upon the date on which this Lease is to terminate with respect to any portion of
the Property, and upon tender by Lessee of the amounts set forth in Section
16.2(b) or this Section 20.2, as applicable, Lessor shall execute, acknowledge
(where required) and deliver to Lessee, at Lessee's cost and expense, each of
the following: (a) a special or limited warranty deed conveying the Property or
such portion thereof to Lessee free and clear of the Lien of this Lease, the
Lien of the Credit Documents and any Lessor Liens; (b) a Bill of Sale conveying
the Property (to the extent it is personal property) to Lessee free and clear of
the Lien of this Lease, the Lien of the Credit Documents and any Lessor Liens;
(c) any real estate tax affidavit or other document required by law to be
executed and filed in order to record the applicable deed; and (d) FIRPTA
affidavits. All of the foregoing documentation must be in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. The applicable portion of Property shall be
conveyed to Lessee "AS-IS, WHERE-IS" and in then present physical condition.

         If the Property or any portion thereof is the subject of remediation
efforts respecting Hazardous Substances at any Expiration Date which could
materially and adversely impact the Fair Market Sales Value of the Property or
such portion thereof (with materiality determined in each case in Lessor's
reasonable discretion), then Lessee shall be obligated to purchase the Property
or such portion thereof pursuant to Section 20.2.

         On any Expiration Date and/or any Payment Date on which Lessee has
elected to exercise its Purchase Option, Lessee shall pay (or cause to be paid)
to Lessor, the Agent and all other parties, as appropriate, the sum of all costs
and expenses incurred by any such party in connection with the election by
Lessee to exercise its Purchase Option and all Rent and all other amounts then
due and payable or accrued under this Lease and/or any other Operative
Agreement.

         SECTION 20.3 THIRD PARTY SALE OPTION.

                  (a) Provided, that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing and (ii) the Election Notice has been
appropriately given specifying the Sale Option, Lessee shall undertake to cause
a sale of the Initial Improvements or Subsequent Improvements, and all related
portions of the Property, on the Expiration Date applicable thereto (all as
specified in the Election Notice) in accordance with the provisions of Section
22.1 hereof.

                  (b) In the event Lessee exercises the Sale Option with respect
to all or any portion of the Property then, as soon as practicable and in all
events not less than sixty (60) days prior to the applicable Expiration Date,
Lessee shall cause to be delivered to Lessor an environmental site assessment
for the Property or such portion of the Property recently prepared

                                       31
<PAGE>   37
(no more than thirty (30) days old prior to the Sale Date) by an independent
recognized professional reasonably acceptable to Lessor and in form, scope and
content reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. Lessor (at the direction of the
Agent) shall elect whether the costs incurred respecting the above-referenced
environmental site assessment shall be paid by either (i) sales proceeds from
the Property or applicable portion thereof, (ii) Lessor (but only to the extent
amounts are available therefor with respect to the Available Commitments and the
Available Holder Commitments or each Lender and each Holder approves the
necessary increases in the Available Commitments and the Available Holder
Commitments to fund such costs) or (iii) Lessee; provided, amounts funded by the
Lenders and the Holders with respect to the foregoing shall be added to the
Property Cost of the applicable portion of the Property; provided, further,
amounts funded by Lessee with respect to the foregoing shall be a part of (and
limited by) the applicable Maximum Residual Guarantee Amount. In the event that
Lessor shall not have received such environmental site assessment by the date
sixty (60) days prior to such Expiration Date or in the event that such
environmental assessment shall reveal the existence of any material violation of
Environmental Laws, other material Environmental Violation or potential material
Environmental Violation (with materiality determined in each case by Lessor in
its reasonable discretion), then Lessee on such Expiration Date shall pay to
Lessor an amount equal to the Termination Value for such portion of the Property
and any and all other amounts due and owing hereunder. Upon receipt of such
payment and all other amounts due under the Operative Agreements, Lessor shall
transfer to Lessee all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to such
portion of the Property in accordance with Section 19.1.

                                  ARTICLE XXI

         SECTION 21.1 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED].

                                  ARTICLE XXII

         SECTION 22.1 SALE PROCEDURE.

                  (a) During the applicable Marketing Period, Lessee, on behalf
of Lessor, shall obtain bids for the cash purchase of the applicable portion of
the Property in connection with a sale to one (1) or more third party purchasers
to be consummated on the related Expiration Date or such earlier date as is
acceptable to the Agent and the Lessee (each, a "Sale Date") for the highest
price available, shall notify Lessor promptly of the name and address of each
prospective purchaser and the cash price which each prospective purchaser shall
have offered to pay for such portion of the Property and shall provide Lessor
with such additional information about the bids and the bid solicitation
procedure as Lessor may reasonably request from time to time. On the Sale Date,
such portion of the Property shall be sold for one aggregate cash price amount.
All such prospective purchasers must be Persons other than Lessee or any
Affiliate of Lessee. On the Sale Date, Lessee shall pay (or cause to be paid) to
Lessor and all other parties, as appropriate, all Rent and all other amounts
then due and payable or accrued under this Lease and/or any other Operative
Agreement and Lessor (at the direction of the Agent) shall elect whether the
costs and expenses incurred by Lessor and/or the Agent respecting the sale of
the applicable portion of the Property shall be paid by either (i) sales
proceeds from such portion of

                                       32
<PAGE>   38
the Property, (ii) Lessor (but only the extent amounts are available therefor
with respect to the Available Commitments and the Available Holder Commitments
or each Lender and each Holder approves the necessary increases in the Available
Commitments and the Available Holder Commitments to fund such costs and
expenses) or (iii) Lessee; provided, amounts funded by the Lenders and the
Holders with respect to such costs and expenses shall be added to the Property
Cost of the applicable portion of the Property; provided, further, amounts
funded by Lessee with respect to such costs and expenses shall be a part of (and
limited by) the applicable Maximum Residual Guarantee Amount.

         Lessor may reject any and all bids and may solicit and obtain bids by
giving Lessee written notice to that effect; provided, however, that
notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor may not reject any bid submitted by Lessee
if such bid, in the aggregate, is greater than or equal to the sum of the
Limited Recourse Amount for such portion of the Property, and represents a bona
fide offer from one (1) or more third party purchasers. If the highest price
which a prospective purchaser or the prospective purchasers shall have offered
to pay for the applicable portion of the Property on the Sale Date is less than
the sum of the Limited Recourse Amount for such portion of the Property or if
such bids do not represent bona fide offers from one (1) or more third parties
or if there are no bids, Lessor may elect to retain such portion of the Property
by giving Lessee at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice of
Lessor's election to retain the same, and promptly upon receipt of such notice,
Lessee shall surrender, or cause to be surrendered, such portion of the Property
specified in such notice in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section
10.1. If Lessor does not elect to retain such portion of the Property, then
Lessee shall cause the sale of such portion of the Property to be completed on
the related Sale Date in accordance with this Section 22.1 and the maximum
liability of the Lessee with respect thereto shall be as provided pursuant to
Section 22.1(b). Upon acceptance of any bid, Lessor agrees, at Lessee's request
and expense, to execute a contract of sale with respect to such sale, so long as
the same is consistent with the terms of this Article XXII and provides by its
terms that it is nonrecourse to Lessor.

         Unless Lessor shall have elected to retain a portion of the Property
pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph, Lessee shall arrange for
Lessor to sell all such portions of the Property free and clear of the Lien of
this Lease and any Lessor Liens, without recourse or warranty (of title or
otherwise), for cash on the related Sale Date to the purchaser or purchasers
offering the highest cash sales price, as identified by Lessee or Lessor, as the
case may be. To effect such transfer and assignment, Lessor shall execute,
acknowledge (where required) and deliver to the appropriate purchaser each of
the following: (a) special or limited warranty deeds conveying such portion of
the Property (to the extent it is real property titled to Lessor) to the
appropriate purchaser free and clear of the Lien of this Lease, the Lien of the
Credit Documents and any Lessor Liens; (b) a Bill of Sale conveying such portion
of the Property (to the extent it is personal property) titled to Lessor to the
appropriate purchaser free and clear of the Lien of this Lease, the Lien of the
Credit Documents and any Lessor Liens; (c) any real estate tax affidavit or
other document required by law to be executed and filed in order to record each
deed; and (d) FIRPTA affidavits, as appropriate. All of the foregoing
documentation must be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor.
Lessee shall surrender such portion of the Property so sold or subject to such
documents to each purchaser in the condition specified in Section 10.1, or in
such other condition as may be agreed between Lessee and such purchaser. Neither
Lessor nor Lessee shall take or fail to take any action which would have the
effect of unreasonably

                                       33
<PAGE>   39
discouraging bona fide third party bids for any portion of the Property. If such
portion of the Property is not either (i) sold on the related Sale Date in
accordance with the terms of this Section 22.1, or (ii) retained by Lessor
pursuant to an affirmative election made by Lessor pursuant to the second
sentence of the second paragraph of this Section 22.1(a), then (x) Lessee shall
be obligated to pay Lessor on the Sale Date an amount equal to the aggregate
Termination Value for such portion of the Property less any sales proceeds
received by the Lessor, and (y) Lessor shall transfer such portion of the
Property to Lessee in accordance with Section 20.2.

                  (b) If such portion of the Property is sold on a Sale Date to
one (1) or more third party purchasers in accordance with the terms of Section
22.1(a) and the aggregate purchase price paid for such portion of the Property
is less than the sum of the aggregate Property Cost for such portion of the
Property (hereinafter such difference shall be referred to as the "Deficiency
Balance"), then Lessee hereby unconditionally promises to pay to Lessor on such
Sale Date all Rent and all other amounts then due and owing pursuant to the
Operative Agreements and the lesser of (i) the Deficiency Balance, or (ii) the
Maximum Residual Guarantee Amount for such portion of the Property. On a Sale
Date if (x) Lessor receives the aggregate Termination Value for such portion of
the Property from one (1) or more third party purchasers, (y) Lessor and such
other parties receive all other amounts specified in the last sentence of the
first paragraph of Section 22.1(a) and (z) the aggregate purchase price paid for
such portion of the Property on such date plus the amount paid by Lessee to
Lessor pursuant to the terms of this Section 22.1(b) exceeds the sum of the
aggregate Property Cost for such portion of the Property, then Lessor shall
promptly pay Lessee such excess. The obligation to pay any such excess to Lessee
shall survive the termination of this Lease. If a portion of the Property is
retained by Lessor pursuant to an affirmative election made by Lessor pursuant
to the provisions of Section 22.1(a), then Lessee hereby unconditionally
promises to pay to Lessor on the related Sale Date all Rent and all other
amounts then due and owing pursuant to the Operative Agreements and an amount
equal to the Maximum Residual Guarantee Amount for such portion of the Property
so retained. Any payment of the foregoing amounts described in this Section
22.1(b) shall be made together with a payment of all other amounts referenced in
the last sentence of the first paragraph of Section 22.1(a).

                  (c) In the event that such portion of the Property is either
sold to one (1) or more third party purchasers on a Sale Date or retained by
Lessor in connection with an affirmative election made by Lessor pursuant to the
provisions of Section 22.1(a), then in either case on the applicable Sale Date
Lessee shall provide Lessor or such third party purchaser (unless otherwise
agreed by such third party purchaser) with (i) all non-proprietary permits,
certificates of occupancy, governmental licenses and authorizations necessary to
use, operate, repair, access and maintain such portion of the Property for the
purpose it is being used by Lessee, and (ii) such non-proprietary manuals,
permits, easements, licenses, intellectual property, know-how, rights-of-way and
other rights and privileges in the nature of an easement as are reasonably
necessary or desirable in connection with the use, operation, repair, access to
or maintenance of such portion of the Property for its intended purpose or
otherwise as Lessor or such third party purchaser(s) shall reasonably request
(and a royalty-free license or similar agreement to effectuate the foregoing on
terms reasonably agreeable to Lessor or such third party purchaser(s), as
applicable). All such assignments, licenses, easements, agreements and other
deliveries required by clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph (c) shall be in
form reasonably satisfactory to Lessor or such third party purchaser(s), as
applicable, and shall be fully assignable

                                       34
<PAGE>   40
(including without limitation both primary assignments and assignments given in
the nature of security) without payment of any fee, cost or other charge.

         SECTION 22.2 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS OF SALE. In the event Lessee
receives any proceeds of sale of any portion of the Property, such proceeds
shall be deemed to have been received in trust on behalf of Lessor and Lessee
shall promptly remit such proceeds to Lessor. Lessor shall apply the proceeds of
sale of any portion of the Property in the following order of priority:

                  (a) FIRST, to pay or to reimburse Lessor (and/or the Agent, as
the case may be) for the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred
by Lessor (and/or the Agent, as the case may be) in connection with the sale (to
the extent Lessee has not satisfied its obligation to pay such costs and
expenses);

                  (b) SECOND, so long as the Credit Agreement is in effect and
any Loans or Holder Advances or any amount is owing to the Financing Parties
under any Operative Agreement, to the Agent to be applied pursuant to
intercreditor provisions among Lessor, the Lenders and the Holders contained in
the Operative Agreements; and

                  (c) THIRD, to Lessee.

         SECTION 22.3 INDEMNITY FOR EXCESSIVE WEAR. If the proceeds of the sale
described in Section 22.1 with respect to any portion of the Property shall be
less than the Limited Recourse Amount with respect to such portion of the
Property, and at the time of such sale it shall have been reasonably determined
(pursuant to the Appraisal Procedure) that the Fair Market Sales Value of such
portion of the Property shall have been impaired by greater than normal and
expected wear and tear during the term of the Lease, Lessee shall pay to Lessor
within ten (10) days after receipt of Lessor's written statement (i) the amount
of such excess wear and tear determined by the Appraisal Procedure or (ii) the
amount of the Sale Proceeds Shortfall, whichever amount is less.

         SECTION 22.4 APPRAISAL PROCEDURE. For determining the Fair Market Sales
Value of any portion of the Property (including without limitation for purposes
of the Parcel Sale Requirements) or any other amount which may, pursuant to any
provision of any Operative Agreement, be determined by an appraisal procedure,
Lessor and Lessee shall use the following procedure (the "Appraisal Procedure").
Lessor and Lessee shall endeavor to reach a mutual agreement as to such amount
for a period of ten (10) days from commencement of the Appraisal Procedure under
the applicable section of the Lease, and if they cannot agree within ten (10)
days, then two (2) qualified appraisers, one (1) chosen by Lessee and one (1)
chosen by Lessor, shall mutually agree thereupon, but if either party shall fail
to choose an appraiser within twenty (20) days after notice from the other party
of the selection of its appraiser, then the appraisal by such appointed
appraiser shall be binding on Lessee and Lessor. If the two (2) appraisers
cannot agree within twenty (20) days after both shall have been appointed, then
a third appraiser shall be selected by the two (2) appraisers or, failing
agreement as to such third appraiser within thirty (30) days after both shall
have been appointed, by the American Arbitration Association. The decisions of
the three (3) appraisers shall be given within twenty (20) days of the
appointment of the third appraiser and the decision of the appraiser most
different from the average of the other

                                       35
<PAGE>   41
two (2) shall be discarded and such average shall be binding on Lessor and
Lessee; provided, that if the highest appraisal and the lowest appraisal are
equidistant from the third appraisal, the third appraisal shall be binding on
Lessor and Lessee. The fees and expenses of the appraiser appointed by Lessee
shall be paid by Lessee; the fees and expenses of the appraiser appointed by
Lessor shall be paid by Lessor (such fees and expenses not being indemnified
pursuant to Section 11 of the Participation Agreement); and the fees and
expenses of the third appraiser shall be divided equally between Lessee and
Lessor.

         SECTION 22.5 CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS CONTINUE. During a Marketing Period
with respect to any portion of the Property, the obligation of Lessee to pay
Rent with respect to such portion of the Property (including without limitation
the installment of Basic Rent due on the related Expiration Date) shall continue
undiminished until payment in full to Lessor of the sale proceeds, if any, the
related Maximum Residual Guarantee Amount, the amount due under Section 22.3, if
any, and all other amounts due to Lessor or any other Person with respect to all
of the Property or any Operative Agreement. Lessor shall have the right, but
shall be under no duty, to solicit bids, to inquire into the efforts of Lessee
to obtain bids or otherwise to take action in connection with any such sale,
other than as expressly provided in this Article XXII.

                                 ARTICLE XXIII

         SECTION 23.1 HOLDING OVER. If Lessee shall for any reason remain in
possession of any portion of the Property after the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease as to such portion of the Property (unless such
portion of the Property is conveyed to Lessee), such possession shall be as a
tenancy at sufferance during which time Lessee shall continue to pay
Supplemental Rent that would be payable by Lessee hereunder were the Lease then
in full force and effect with respect to such portion of the Property and Lessee
shall continue to pay Basic Rent at the lesser of the highest lawful rate and
one hundred ten percent (110%) of the last payment of Basic Rent due with
respect to such portion of the Property prior to such expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease with respect to such portion of the Property. Such
Basic Rent shall be payable from time to time upon demand by Lessor and such
additional amount of Basic Rent shall be applied by Lessor ratably to the
Lenders and the Holders based on their relative amounts of the then outstanding
aggregate Property Cost for such portion of the Property. During any period of
tenancy at sufferance, Lessee shall, subject to the second preceding sentence,
be obligated to perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions
of this Lease, but shall have no rights hereunder other than the right, to the
extent given by law to tenants at sufferance, to continue their occupancy and
use of such portion of the Property. Nothing contained in this Article XXIII
shall constitute the consent, express or implied, of Lessor to the holding over
of Lessee after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease as to any
portion of the Property (unless such portion of the Property is conveyed to
Lessee) and nothing contained herein shall be read or construed as preventing
Lessor from maintaining a suit for possession of such portion of the Property or
exercising any other remedy available to Lessor at law or in equity.

                                       36
<PAGE>   42
                                  ARTICLE XXIV

         SECTION 24.1 RISK OF LOSS. Subject to the terms and limitations of the
Construction Agency Agreement, during the applicable Term, unless Lessee shall
not be in actual possession of the Property in question solely by reason of
Lessor's exercise of its remedies of dispossession under Article XVII, the risk
of loss or decrease in the enjoyment and beneficial use of the related portion
of the Property as a result of the damage or destruction thereof by fire, the
elements, casualties, thefts, riots, wars or otherwise is assumed by Lessee, and
Lessor shall in no event be answerable or accountable therefor, except for
Lessor's obligation to advance in accordance with the terms of this Lease
insurance proceeds received by Lessor pursuant to the coverages referenced in
Article XIV.

                                  ARTICLE XXV

         SECTION 25.1 ASSIGNMENT. Lessee may not assign this Lease or any of its
rights or obligations hereunder or with respect to the Property in whole or in
part to any Person (other than to a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Lessee or the
Parent) without the prior written consent of the Agent, the Lenders, the Holders
and Lessor.

                  (b) No assignment by Lessee (referenced in this Section 25.1
or otherwise) or other relinquishment of possession to the Property shall in any
way discharge or diminish any of the obligations of Lessee to Lessor hereunder
and Lessee shall remain directly and primarily liable under the Operative
Agreements as to any rights or obligations assigned by Lessee or regarding the
Property in which rights or obligations have been assigned or otherwise
transferred.

         SECTION 25.2 SUBLEASES.

                  (a) Promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days,
following the execution and delivery of any sublease permitted by this Article
XXV, Lessee shall notify Lessor of the execution of such sublease and shall
collaterally assign such sublease to the Lessor as security for Lessee's
obligations hereunder and under any other Operative Agreement. Any such
collateral assignment shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to
the Lessor and the Agent.

                  (b) Without the prior written consent of the Agent, any
Lender, any Holder or Lessor and subject to the other provisions of this Section
25.2, Lessee may sublet the Property or portion thereof to any wholly-owned
Subsidiary of Lessee or to any other Person; provided, all subleasing shall be
done on market terms and shall in no way diminish the fair market value or
useful life of the applicable Property.

                  (c) No sublease (referenced in this Section 25.2 or otherwise)
or other relinquishment of possession to the Property shall in any way discharge
or diminish any of Lessee's obligations to Lessor hereunder or diminish the fair
market value of the Property. Lessee shall remain directly and primarily liable
under this Lease as to the Property, or portion thereof, so sublet. During any
Basic Term, the term of any such sublease shall not extend beyond

                                       37
<PAGE>   43
such Basic Term. During any Renewal Term, the term of any such sublease shall
not extend beyond such Renewal Term. Each sublease shall be expressly subject
and subordinate to this Lease.

                                  ARTICLE XXVI

         SECTION 26.1 NO WAIVER. No failure by Lessor or Lessee to insist upon
the strict performance of any term hereof or to exercise any right, power or
remedy upon a default hereunder, and no acceptance of full or partial payment of
Rent during the continuance of any such default, shall constitute a waiver of

"INTEREST." ALL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO ARE HEREBY LIMITED BY THE

                                       40
<PAGE>   46
AND CONTROL ALL SUCH AGREEMENTS, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING AND
WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL. IN NO WAY, NOR IN ANY EVENT OR CONTINGENCY (INCLUDING
WITHOUT LIMITATION PREPAYMENT OR ACCELERATION OF THE MATURITY OF ANY
OBLIGATION), SHALL ANY INTEREST TAKEN, RESERVED, CONTRACTED FOR, CHARGED, OR
RECEIVED UNDER THIS LEASE OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE MAXIMUM NONUSURIOUS AMOUNT

THE OPERATIVE AGREEMENTS OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT, INTEREST WOULD
OTHERWISE BE PAYABLE IN EXCESS OF THE MAXIMUM NONUSURIOUS AMOUNT, ANY SUCH
CONSTRUCTION SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH AND SUCH
AMOUNTS UNDER SUCH DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS SHALL BE AUTOMATICALLY REDUCED TO THE
MAXIMUM NONUSURIOUS AMOUNT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, WITHOUT THE NECESSITY
OF EXECUTION OF ANY AMENDMENT OR NEW DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT. IF LESSOR SHALL EVER
RECEIVE ANYTHING OF VALUE WHICH IS CHARACTERIZED AS INTEREST WITH RESPECT TO THE
OBLIGATIONS OWED HEREUNDER OR UNDER APPLICABLE LAW AND WHICH WOULD, APART FROM
THIS PROVISION, BE IN EXCESS OF THE MAXIMUM LAWFUL AMOUNT, AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO
THE AMOUNT WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN EXCESSIVE INTEREST SHALL, WITHOUT PENALTY, BE
APPLIED TO THE REDUCTION OF THE COMPONENT OF PAYMENTS DEEMED TO BE PRINCIPAL AND
NOT TO THE PAYMENT OF INTEREST, OR REFUNDED TO LESSEE OR ANY OTHER PAYOR
THEREOF, IF AND TO THE EXTENT SUCH AMOUNT WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN EXCESSIVE
EXCEEDS THE COMPONENT OF PAYMENTS DEEMED TO BE PRINCIPAL. THE RIGHT TO DEMAND
PAYMENT OF ANY AMOUNTS EVIDENCED BY ANY OF THE OPERATIVE AGREEMENTS DOES NOT
INCLUDE THE RIGHT TO RECEIVE ANY INTEREST WHICH HAS NOT OTHERWISE ACCRUED ON THE
DATE OF SUCH DEMAND, AND LESSOR DOES NOT INTEND TO CHARGE OR RECEIVE ANY
UNEARNED INTEREST IN THE EVENT OF SUCH DEMAND. ALL INTEREST PAID OR AGREED TO BE
PAID TO LESSOR SHALL, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BE AMORTIZED,
PRORATED, ALLOCATED, AND SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE FULL STATED TERM (INCLUDING
WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY RENEWAL OR EXTENSION) OF THIS LEASE SO THAT THE AMOUNT OF
INTEREST ON ACCOUNT OF SUCH PAYMENTS DOES NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM NONUSURIOUS
AMOUNT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

                          CONSTRUCTION AGENCY AGREEMENT

     THIS CONSTRUCTION AGENCY AGREEMENT, dated as of July 28, 2000 (as amended,
modified, extended, supplemented, restated and/or replaced from time to time,
the "Agreement"), between FIRST SECURITY BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national
banking association ("FSB"), not individually, but solely as Owner Trustee under
the VS Trust 2000-2 (the "Lessor"), and VERITAS SOFTWARE GLOBAL CORPORATION, a
Delaware corporation (the "Construction Agent").

                              PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

     A.The Lessor and the Construction Agent are parties to that certain Master
Lease Agreement dated as of even date herewith (as amended, modified, extended,
supplemented, restated and/or replaced from time to time, the "Lease"), pursuant
to which the Construction Agent, as lessee (in such capacity, the "Lessee") has
agreed to lease certain Land, Improvements and Equipment from the Lessor.

     B.In connection with the execution and delivery of the Participation
Agreement, the Lease and the other Operative Agreements, and subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, (i) the Lessor desires to appoint the Construction
Agent as its sole and exclusive agent in connection with the identification and
acquisition of the Land and other components of the Property (provided, title to
the Land and all other Property shall be held in the name of the Lessor) and the
development, acquisition, installation, construction and testing of the
Improvements and the Equipment in accordance with the applicable Plans and
Specifications therefor and pursuant to the applicable Construction Contract and
(ii) the Construction Agent desires, for the benefit of the Lessor, to identify
and acquire the Land and other components of the Property and to cause the
development, acquisition, installation, construction and testing of the
Improvements, the Equipment and the other components of the Property in
accordance with the applicable Plans and Specifications and to undertake such
other liabilities and obligations as are herein set forth.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

                                   ARTICLE I
                           DEFINITIONS; RULES OF USAGE

     SECTION 1.1 DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Agreement, capitalized terms
used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
assigned to them in Appendix A to that certain Participation Agreement dated as
of July 28, 2000 (as amended, modified, extended, supplemented, restated and/or
replaced from time to time in accordance with the applicable provisions thereof,
the "Participation Agreement") among the Construction Agent, the various parties
thereto from time to time, as Guarantors, the Lessor, the various banks and

<PAGE>   4

lending institutions parties thereto from time to time, as Holders, the various
banks and lending institutions parties thereto from time to time, as Lenders,
ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as the agent for the Lenders and respecting the Security
Documents, as the agent for the Lenders and the Holders, to the extent of their
interests, Credit Suisse First Boston, as Documentation Agent, and Credit
Lyonnais Los Angeles Branch, as Syndication Branch. Unless otherwise indicated,
references in this Agreement to articles, sections, paragraphs, clauses,
appendices, schedules and exhibits are to the same contained in this Agreement.

     SECTION 1.2 INTERPRETATION. The rules of usage set forth in Appendix A to
the Participation Agreement shall apply to this Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE II
                      APPOINTMENT OF THE CONSTRUCTION AGENT

     SECTION 2.1 APPOINTMENT AND ACCEPTANCE. Subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, the Lessor hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Construction
Agent as its exclusive agent and as general contractor, and the Construction
Agent accepts such appointment, in connection with the identification and
acquisition from time to time of the Land and other components of the Property
(provided, title to the Land and other Property shall be held in the name of the
Lessor) and the development, acquisition, installation, construction and testing
of the Initial Improvements and any Subsequent Improvements on the Land, the
Equipment and the other components of the Property in accordance with the
applicable Plans and Specifications, and pursuant to the terms of the Operative
Agreements. Notwithstanding any provisions hereof or in any other Operative
Agreement to the contrary, the Construction Agent acknowledges and agrees that
the Lessor shall advance no more than (a) with respect to (i) the Initial
Improvements and related Property, or (ii) any Subsequent Improvements and
related Property, the aggregate amount required to achieve Completion with
respect thereto as set forth in the Construction Budget therefor for the Initial
Improvements or such Subsequent Improvements, as the case may be, (as the same
may have been modified in accordance with the Operative Agreements), and (b)
with respect to all of the Property, the sum of the aggregate Commitment of the
Lenders plus the aggregate amount of the Holder Commitments of the Holders in
regard to the Property (including without limitation for any and all Advances in
the aggregate from the Lenders under the Credit Agreement and from the Holders
under the Trust Agreement). After the Construction Agent gains knowledge or a
reasonable expectation that the costs for the Initial Improvements or any
Subsequent Improvements and related Property shall exceed the original
Construction Budget therefor (or exceed any such Construction Budget as modified
in accordance with the Operative Agreements) or that Completion for the Initial
Improvements or any Subsequent Improvements and related Property shall not occur
on or prior to the Construction Period Termination Date therefor, the
Construction Agent shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business
Days of gaining such knowledge or expectation) notify the Agent in writing of
the same. If at any time prior to the Construction Period Termination Date in
respect of Initial Improvements or any Subsequent Improvements and related
Property, the Lessor or the Agent shall have (x) determined in its respective
reasonable good faith judgment that (i) the sum of the Available Commitments and
the Available Holder Commitments (less the Unfunded Amount) shall be less than
the amounts necessary for Completion of such portion of the Property or (ii)
Completion in

                                       2
<PAGE>   5

respect of any portion of the Property shall not occur on or prior to the
Construction Period Termination Date therefor (y) received any notice from the
Construction Agent as referenced in the preceding provisions of this paragraph,
then in any such case Lessor shall have the option (at the direction of the
Agent) to replace the Construction Agent with a new construction agent selected
by the Lessor (at the direction of the Agent) to finalize the Completion of such
portion of the Property. The cost and expense incurred to finalize the
Completion of all or any portion of the Property as referenced in the preceding
sentence shall be the responsibility of the Construction Agent and shall be
payable by the Construction Agent on demand; provided, in no event shall the
obligations of the Construction Agent for such costs and expenses in respect of
any portion of the Property exceed the Maximum Amount therefor; provided,
further, amounts expended by the Lessor to finalize the Completion of all or any
portion of the Property as referenced in the preceding sentence shall be added
to the Property Cost therefor.

     Costs in excess of each original Construction Budget (or any such
Construction Budget as modified in accordance with the Operative Agreements) in
each case as previously delivered to the Agent in respect of the Initial
Improvements or any Subsequent Improvements and related portions of the Property
shall not be the responsibility of the Construction Agent but instead shall be
paid by the Lenders and the Holders to the extent, but only to the extent, that
(after taking into account such excess costs and any other items of excess cost
which are then known to the Construction Agent or are reasonable for the
Construction Agent to expect) the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.4
of the Participation Agreement are satisfied.

     Subject to the Lenders and the Holders not agreeing to continue making
Advances in accordance with the provisions of the next paragraph and in the
event from time to time (a) the Construction Agent gains knowledge or a
reasonable expectation that the costs for the Initial Improvements, or any
Subsequent Improvements and related Property shall exceed the original
Construction Budget therefor (or exceed such Construction Budget as modified in
accordance with the Operative Agreements) or that Completion for any such
portion of the Property shall not occur on or prior to the Construction Period
Termination Date therefor or (b) the Lessor or the Agent shall have determined
in its respective reasonable good faith judgment with respect to any portion of
the Property that the sum of the Available Commitments and the Available Holder
Commitments (less the Unfunded Amount) shall be less than the amounts necessary
for Completion of such portion of the Property or that Completion of any such
portion of the Property shall not occur on prior to the applicable Construction
Period Termination Date, the Construction Agent shall elect and comply (within
ten (10) days of the Construction Agent gaining such knowledge or expectation or
within ten (10) days of the Lessor or the Agent making such determination and
giving written notice of the same to the Construction Agent, as referenced in
subsections (a) and (b) above of this paragraph) with one of the options set
forth in the following subsections (i) or (ii) (collectively, the "Construction
Agent Options"): (i) the Construction Agent shall pay to the Lessor, on a date
designated by the Lessor, an aggregate amount equal to (A) the Termination Value
for such portion of the Property plus (B) any and all fees and expenses incurred
by or on behalf of the Lessor or the Agent in connection with the such portion
of the Property (including without limitation the transfer thereof) and on such
date the Lessor shall transfer and convey to the Construction Agent all right,
title and interest of the Lessor in and to such portion of the Property or (ii)
the Construction Agent shall pay to the Lessor, on a date designated by the
Lessor, an aggregate amount equal to the Maximum Amount in respect of such
portion of the Property and on and after such date, the Construction Agent

                                       3
<PAGE>   6

shall be irrevocably deemed, without any further action, to have relinquished
all right, title and interest in and to such portion of the Property and to have
transferred and conveyed all such right, title and interest to the Lessor. In
connection with any transfer of any portion of the Property as referenced above
in this Section 2.1 by the Lessor to the Construction Agent, the Lessor shall
execute and deliver to the Construction Agent, at the cost and expense of the
Construction Agent (subject to the limitations described in the next sentence),
each of the following: (w) special or limited warranty deeds conveying each
applicable portion of the Property to the Construction Agent free and clear of
the Lien of the Lease, the Lien of the Credit Documents and any Lessor Liens;
(x) a Bill of Sale conveying each applicable portion of the Property (to the
extent it is personal property) to the Construction Agent free and clear of the
Lien of the Lease, the Lien of the Credit Documents and any Lessor Liens; (y)
any real estate tax affidavit or other document required by law to be executed
and filed in order to record the applicable Deed; and (z) FIRPTA affidavits. The
Lessor (at the discretion of the Agent) shall elect whether the out-of-pocket
fees and expenses associated with the transfer of the Property or any such
portion thereof shall be paid by either (i) sales proceeds from the Property or
such portion, (ii) the Lessor (but only to the extent amounts are available
therefor with respect to the Available Commitments and the Available Holder
Commitments or each Lender and each Holder approves the necessary increases in
the Available Commitments and the Available Holder Commitments to fund such fees
and expenses) or (iii) the Construction Agent; provided, if the Construction
Agent funds such fees and expenses (as referenced in subsection (iii)) then the
Maximum Amount in respect of the applicable portion of the Property will be
reduced accordingly, as more specifically described in the definition of
"Maximum Amount". Amounts funded by the Lenders and the Holders with respect to
the foregoing for any portion of the Property shall be added to the Property
Cost of such portion. All of the foregoing documentation must be in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor. Subject to the foregoing, the
Property or applicable portions thereof shall be conveyed to the Construction
Agent "AS-IS", "WHERE-IS" and in then present physical condition.

     In the event the costs in excess of any original Construction Budget
previously delivered to the Agent for any portion of the Property are not funded
by the Lenders and the Holders because (after taking into account such excess
costs and any other items of excess cost which are then known to the
Construction Agent or are reasonable for the Construction Agent to expect) the
conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.4 of the Participation Agreement are
not satisfied, then if, but only if, all the Holders and all the Lenders agree
at such time, (a) such excess costs shall be funded and (b) the Holder
Commitments and the Lender Commitments shall be increased accordingly.

     SECTION 2.2 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED].

     SECTION 2.3 TERM. This Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and,
unless the Lessor (in its sole discretion) elects otherwise, this Agreement
shall terminate with respect to any portion of the Property on the applicable
Construction Period Termination Date. If this Agreement expires prior to the
Completion of any portion of the Property, then the Lessor may either (i) hire a
new construction agent (at the direction of the Agent) to finalize the
Completion of the Property or such portion or (ii) require the Construction
Agent to continue to perform hereunder and to achieve Completion of the Property
or such portion. The cost and expense incurred to finalize the Completion of the
Property or any portion thereof as referenced in the

                                       4
<PAGE>   7

preceding sentence shall be the responsibility of the Construction Agent and
shall be payable by the Construction Agent on demand; provided, in no event
shall the obligations of the Construction Agent for such costs and expenses with
respect to any portion of the Property exceed the Maximum Amount in respect of
such portion; provided, further, amounts expended by the Lessor to finalize the
Completion of any portion of the Property as referenced in the preceding
sentence shall be added to the Property Cost therefor.

shall enter into any contract or consent to any contract in the name of the
Lessor without the Lessor's prior written consent, such consent to be given or
withheld in the exercise of the Lessor's reasonable discretion; provided,
however, that (i) no such contract will increase the obligations of the Lessor
beyond the obligations of the Lessor as are expressly set forth in the Operative

the Lessor to the assets of the VS Trust 2000-2 and shall otherwise be
non-recourse to the Lessor on terms and conditions that are reasonably

caused by a Force Majeure Event and Completion in respect of such portion of the
Property is accomplished within three (3) months of the date otherwise
applicable but for this proviso; provided, further, to the extent such failure
to complete is caused by a Force Majeure Event extending beyond such three (3)

Options set forth in Section 2.1 and, if such election is not made within ten
(10) Business Days of the end of such three (3) month period, the Construction
Agent shall be deemed to have elected to purchase the applicable Improvements
and related portions of the Property for the Termination Value therefor in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1;

         (d) use its good faith efforts to cause all outstanding punch list
items with respect to any Improvements and related Property to be completed
promptly following the Completion Date therefor;

         (e) at all times subsequent to the initial Advance respecting any
portion of the Property (i) cause good and marketable title to such portion of
the Property to vest in the Owner Trustee (ii) cause a valid, perfected, first
priority Lien on such portion of the Property to be in place in favor of the
Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders and the Holders), (iii) file all necessary

Commercial Code to perfect such title and Liens and (iv) subject to the terms of
Article XIII of the Lease relating to Permitted Contests, not permit Liens

deliver to the Lessor true, correct and complete copies of any material
modifications of any such Construction Budget and progress reports regarding the
development, acquisition, installation, construction and testing of the
applicable portion of the Property;

         (g) procure insurance for the Property during any Construction Period

<PAGE>   10

         (h) on or before the Construction Period Termination Date in respect of
any portion of the Property (which date shall be subject to extension pursuant
to the provisions of Section 2.1 in the sole and absolute discretion of the
Lenders and the Holders), cause the Rent Commencement Date to occur with respect
to such portion of the Property or purchase any such portion of the Property for
an amount equal to the sum referenced in Section 5.3(b) hereof applicable

                                  ARTICLE III

     SECTION 3.1 CONSTRUCTION. The Construction Agent shall cause the
Improvements, the Equipment and all other components of the Property to be
developed, acquired, installed, constructed and tested in compliance with all
Legal Requirements, all Insurance Requirements, all manufacturer's
specifications and standards and the standards maintained by the Construction
Agent for similar properties owned or operated by the Construction Agent, unless
non-compliance, individually or in the aggregate, shall not have and could not
be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     SECTION 3.2 AMENDMENTS; MODIFICATIONS.

         (a) The Construction Agent may at any time revise, amend or modify (i)
the Plans and Specifications in respect of the Initial Improvements or any
Subsequent Improvements and any related Property without the consent of the
Lessor; provided, that any such amendment to any such Plans and Specifications
does not (x) result in the Completion Date of the applicable Improvements and
related portions of the Property occurring on or after the Construction Period
Termination Date therefor or (y) result in the cost of the applicable
Improvements and related portions of the Property exceeding the amount specified
in the Construction Budget therefor, as amended from time to time, or an amount
equal to the sum of the then Available Commitments plus the then Available
Holder Commitments (reduced by the amount, if any, necessary to pay for the cost
as determined based on the applicable Construction Budget of construction and
development of other Improvements on the Property which are currently under
construction but have not yet achieved Completion (such amount the "Unfunded
Amount")), and (ii) the Construction Budget in respect of any portion of the
Property and enter into any related amendments, modifications or supplements
thereto without the consent of the Lessor; provided, that such revisions,
amendments or modifications to any such Plans and Specifications or related
amendments, modifications or supplements to any such Construction Budget do not
result in any increase in total Property Costs in respect of (x) the Initial
Improvements and related Property, or (y) any Subsequent Improvements and
related Property, as the case may be, greater than the amount specified in the
applicable Construction Budget for the Initial Improvements or such Subsequent
Improvements, as the case may be, as amended from time to time, or the then
Available Commitments and Available Holder Commitment (reduced by the Unfunded
Amount).

<PAGE>   11

         (b) The Construction Agent agrees that it will not implement any
revision, amendment or modification to the Plans and Specifications for (x) the
Initial Improvements and related Property, or (y) any Subsequent Improvements
and related Property, as the case may be, if the aggregate effect of such
revision, amendment or modification, when taken together with any previous or
contemporaneous revision, amendment or modification to such Plans and
Specifications for the Initial Improvements or such Subsequent Improvements, as
the case may be, would cause a reduction in the Fair Market Sales Value of the
Initial Improvements (and related Property) or such Subsequent Improvements (and
related Property) below the Termination Value therefor when completed, unless
such revision, amendment or modification is required by Legal Requirements or
Section 9.1 of the Lease.

     SECTION 3.3 FAILURE TO COMPLETE CONSTRUCTION PERIOD PROPERTIES. Until
termination of the Lease Agreement and the Construction Agency Agreement, the
Construction Agent shall promptly and diligently complete the development,
acquisition, refinancing, installation, construction and testing of all
Construction Period Property substantially in accordance with the applicable
Plans and Specifications and with the terms hereof and cause the Completion Date
with respect to all Construction Period Property to occur on or prior to the
Construction Period Termination Date therefor.

     If, prior to the Completion Date with respect to any portion of the
Property, the Construction Agent shall abandon or permanently discontinue the
construction and development of such portion of the Property (which abandonment
or permanent discontinuance shall be deemed to have occurred if no work at or on
such portion of the Property is undertaken or completed during a period of
thirty (30) days or more after construction has commenced for reasons other than
a Force Majeure Event), then the Construction Agent shall pay to the Lessor, on
a date designated by the Lessor, an aggregate amount equal to the Termination
Value of such portion of the Property, and on such date Lessor shall transfer
and convey to the Construction Agent all right, title and interest of Lessor in
and to such portion of the Property, at the cost and expense of the Construction
Agent. The Lessor shall convey such property "AS IS," "WHERE-IS" and in its then
present physical condition to the Construction Agent or its designee free and
clear of Lessor Liens. If Lessor does not require the Construction Agent to pay
such amount, the Construction Agent shall promptly and diligently complete the
development, acquisition, refinancing, installation, construction and testing of
such portion of the Property in substantial accordance with the Plans and
Specifications therefor and with the terms hereof and cause the Completion Date
with respect thereto to occur on or before the Construction Period Termination
Date therefor.

<PAGE>   12

Property Acquisition Costs or other Property Costs, and the Lessor will comply
with such request to the extent provided for under the Participation Agreement.
The Construction Agent and the Lessor acknowledge and agree that the
Construction Agent's right to request such funds and the Lessor's obligation to
advance such funds for the payment of Property Acquisition Costs or other
Property Costs is subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the
Participation Agreement and each of the other Operative Agreements. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing it is specifically understood and
agreed that in no event shall the aggregate amounts advanced by the Lenders and
the Holders for Property Acquisition Costs or other Property Costs and any other
amounts due and owing hereunder or under any of the other Operative Agreements
exceed the sum of the aggregate Commitment of the Lenders plus the aggregate
amount of the Holder Commitments, including without limitation such amounts
owing for (i) development, acquisition, installation, construction and testing
of the Property or any portion thereof or (ii) additional amounts which accrue
or become due and owing under the Credit Agreement or Trust Agreement as
obligations of the Lessor prior to any Completion Date.

         (b) The proceeds of any funds made available to the Lessor to pay
Property Acquisition Costs or other Property Costs shall be made available to
the Construction Agent in accordance with the Requisition relating thereto and
the terms of the Participation Agreement. The Construction Agent will use such
proceeds only to pay the Property Acquisition Costs or other Property Costs set
forth in the Requisition relating to such funds.

                                   ARTICLE V

                                EVENTS OF DEFAULT

     SECTION 5.1 EVENTS OF DEFAULT. If any one (1) or more of the following

         (a) the Construction Agent fails to apply any funds paid by the Lessor
to the Construction Agent in a manner consistent with the requirements of the
Operative Agreements and as specified in the applicable Requisition for the
development, acquisition, installation, construction and testing of the Property
and related Improvements and Equipment or otherwise respecting the Property to
the payment of Property Acquisition Costs or other Property Costs;

         (b) the Construction Agent shall fail to make any payment required
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including without limitation pursuant
to Sections 2.1 and 3.3) within three (3) Business Days after the same has
become due and payable;

         (c) any Event of Default (as such term is defined in Appendix A to the
Participation Agreement) shall have occurred and not be cured within any cure
period expressly permitted under the terms of the applicable Operative
Agreement; and

         (d) the Construction Agent shall fail to observe or perform any term,
covenant or condition of any Operative Agreement other than as set forth in
paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 5.1 and such failure to observe or
perform any such term, covenant or condition shall continue for more than thirty
(30) days after the earlier of an officer of the Construction Agent

                                       10
<PAGE>   13

becoming aware of such default or notice thereof by the Lessor; provided,
however, that if such failure is of a nature that is not capable of being cured
within such thirty (30) day period, and the Construction Agent promptly
commences appropriate steps to cure such failure within such thirty (30) day
period and continues to pursue such cure with diligence and good faith
thereafter, unless Lessor shall determine that such delay could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, such thirty (30) day period shall be
extended for an additional sixty (60) days;

then, in any such event, the Lessor may, in addition to the other rights and
remedies provided for in this Agreement, terminate this Agreement by giving the
Construction Agent three (3) days written notice of such termination and upon
the expiration of the time fixed in such notice and the payment of all amounts
owing by the Construction Agent hereunder (including without limitation any
amounts specified under Section 5.3 hereof), this Agreement shall terminate. The
Construction Agent shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of
the Lessor, including without limitation fees and expenses of counsel, as a
result of any Event of Default hereunder.

5.1 shall in no event relieve the Construction Agent of its liability and
obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive any such termination.

     SECTION 5.3 REMEDIES; REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.If an Event of Default hereunder
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lessor shall have all rights
available to the Lessor under the Lease and the other Operative Agreements and
all other rights otherwise available at law, equity or otherwise.

         (b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Lessor shall have
(in addition to its rights otherwise described in this Agreement or existing at
law, equity or otherwise) the option (and shall be deemed automatically, and
without any further action, to have exercised such option upon the occurrence of
any Lease Event of Default arising under Sections 17.1(g), (h) (i) or (j) of the
Lease) to transfer and convey to the Construction Agent upon a date designated
by the Lessor all right, title and interest of the Lessor in and to the Property
or any portion thereof (including without limitation the Land and/or any
Improvements, any interest in any Improvements, any Equipment and any Property
then under construction) which is a Construction Period Property. On any
transfer and conveyance date specified by the Lessor pursuant to this Section
5.3(b), (i) the Lessor shall transfer and convey (at the cost of the
Construction Agent) all right, title and interest of the Lessor in and to any or
all such Construction Period Property free and clear of the Lien of the Lease
and all Lessor Liens, (ii) the Construction Agent hereby covenants and agrees
that it will accept such transfer and conveyance of right, title and interest in
and to such Construction Period Property and (iii) the Construction Agent hereby
promises to pay to the Lessor, as liquidated damages (it being agreed that it
would be impossible accurately to determine actual damages), an aggregate amount
equal to the Termination Value of such Construction Period Property plus other
costs and expenses described in Section 2.1 hereof. The Construction Agent
specifically acknowledges and agrees that its obligations under this Section
5.3(b), including without limitation its obligations to accept the transfer and
conveyance of Construction Period Property and its payment obligations described
in subparagraph (iii) of this Section 5.3(b), shall be absolute and
unconditional under any and all circumstances and shall be performed and/or
paid, as the case may be, without notice or demand

<PAGE>   14

and without any abatement, reduction, diminution, setoff, defense, counterclaim
or recoupment whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 5.3(b), the Lessor shall have the right in its sole discretion to
rescind any exercise of its option under this Section 5.3(b) upon the giving of
its written confirmation of such rescission to the Construction Agent on or
prior to the earlier to occur of (a) the actual date of transfer and (b) the
date one hundred and twenty (120) days after the date the Lessor has given
notice of its intent to transfer and convey any Property to the Construction
Agent as referenced above in this Section 5.3(b).

         (c) The Construction Agent shall have the right to cure an Event of
Default hereunder with respect to the Property or any portion thereof by
purchasing the Property or such portion from the Lessor (to the extent such
Event of Default is no longer continuing with respect to any other portion of
the Property remaining subject to this Agreement after such purchase) for an
amount equal to the liquidated damages amount set forth in Section 5.3(b) of
this Agreement.

         (d) No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of
the Lessor, any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement or under
the other Operative Agreements shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any right remedy, power or privilege under this
Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and
privileges provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any
rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.
