executing any instruments, including without limitation financing or
continuation statements, deeds to secure debt, mortgages, assignments,
conveyances, assignments and transfers which are required to be taken or
executed by the Tenant under this Agreement, on its behalf and in its name which
appointment is coupled with an interest, is irrevocable and durable and shall
survive the subsequent dissolution, disability or incapacity of the Tenant.
SECTION 11. ARBITRATION. The Secured Parties or the Tenant may elect to
submit any dispute hereunder that has an amount in controversy in excess of
$250,000 to arbitration hereunder. Any such dispute shall be resolved in
accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Association
then pertaining and the decision of the arbitrators with respect to such dispute
shall be binding, final and conclusive on the parties.
In the event the Secured Parties or the Tenant shall elect to submit
any such dispute to arbitration hereunder, the Secured Parties and the Tenant
shall each appoint and pay all fees of a fit and impartial person as arbitrator
with at least ten (10) years' recent professional experience in the general
subject matter of the dispute. Notice of such appointment shall be sent in
writing by each party to the other, and the arbitrators so appointed, in the
event of their failure to agree within thirty (30) days after the appointment of
the second arbitrator upon the matter so submitted, shall appoint a third
arbitrator. If either the Secured Parties or the Tenant shall fail to appoint an
arbitrator, as aforesaid, for a period of twenty (20) days after written notice
from the other party to make such appointment, then the arbitrator appointed by
the party having made such appointment shall appoint a second arbitrator and the
two (2) so appointed shall, in the event of their failure to agree upon any
decision within thirty (30) days thereafter, appoint a third arbitrator. If such
arbitrators fail to agree upon a third arbitrator within forty five (45) days
after the appointment of the second arbitrator, then such third arbitrator shall
be appointed by the American Arbitration Association from its qualified panel of
arbitrators, and shall be a person having at least ten (10) years' recent
professional experience as to the subject matter in question. The fees of the
third arbitrator and the expenses incident to the proceedings shall be
- 16 -
borne equally between the Secured Parties and the Tenant, unless the arbitrators
decide otherwise. The fees of respective counsel engaged by the parties, and the
fees of expert witnesses and other witnesses called for the parties, shall be
paid by the respective party engaging such counsel or calling or engaging such
witnesses.
The decision of the arbitrators shall be rendered within thirty (30)
days after appointment of the third arbitrator. Such decision shall be in
writing and in duplicate, one counterpart thereof to be delivered to the Secured
Parties and one to the Tenant. A judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
may be entered upon the award of the arbitrators in accordance with the rules
and statutes applicable thereto then obtaining.
The Secured Parties and the Tenant acknowledge and agree that, to the
extent any such dispute shall involve any Manager and be subject to arbitration
pursuant to such Manager's Management Agreement, the Secured Parties and the
Tenant shall cooperate to consolidate any such arbitration hereunder and under
such Management Agreement into a single proceeding.

demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the
rights of the Secured Parties to any other or further action in any
circumstances without notice or demand.
(d) The obligations of the Tenant hereunder shall remain in
full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be impaired by, (i) any
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition,
liquidation or the like of the Tenant; (ii) any exercise or non-exercise, or any
waiver of, any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of this
Agreement, the Master Lease or any document or agreement executed in connection
herewith or therewith, the Obligations or any security for any of the
Obligations; or (iii) any amendment to or modification of any of the Master
Lease or any document or agreement executed in connection herewith or therewith,
the Obligations or any security for any of the Obligations; whether or not the
Tenant shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing. The rights and
remedies of the Secured Parties herein provided for are cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Secured Parties would otherwise
have, including, without limitation, under the Master Lease or any document or
agreement executed in connection herewith or therewith. This Agreement is

unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to
- 18 -
such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibitions or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate
or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
applicable to contracts between residents of Massachusetts which are to be
performed entirely within Massachusetts, regardless of (i) where this Agreement
is executed or delivered; or (ii) where any payment or other performance

created hereby, or procedural issues of foreclosures are required to be governed
