relating thereto are, and will continue to be, kept at such chief executive
office or the applicable Facility, as the case may be, or at such new location
as the Tenant may establish in accordance with this Section 3(d). The Tenant

investment trust. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Lease, the Tenant
shall not change its organizational structure or jurisdiction of organization
without giving at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice thereof to the
Secured Party.

opinion are necessary to:
(i) discharge any liens which have or may take priority over
the lien hereof; and
(ii) pay all premiums payable on the insurance policies referred
to in the Lease or any other document or agreement executed
in connection therewith or herewith, upon the failure of

therein.
The Tenant shall have no claim against the Secured Party by reason of its
decision not to make any payments or perform such obligations permitted under

Party, appropriately endorsed to the order of the Secured Party, to be held
pursuant to this Agreement.

as permitted under the Lease, the Tenant shall not create, incur, assume or
suffer to exist any lien upon any of the Collateral without the prior written
consent of the Secured Party.

claim or defense which the Tenant may have against any seller of the Collateral
or any part thereof or against any Person with respect to the Collateral or any
part thereof.

Agreement or arising out of the Tenant's obligations under any other documents
contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or
of any such other documents.
Section 4. Special Provisions Concerning Equipment. The Tenant shall
not impair the rights of the Secured Party in the Equipment. Regardless of the
manner of the affixation of any Equipment to real property, the Equipment so
attached shall at all times constitute and remain personal property. The Tenant
retains all liability and responsibility in connection with the Equipment and
the liability of the Tenant to pay the Obligations shall in no way be affected
or diminished by reason of the fact that such Equipment may be lost, destroyed,

Tenant. Upon the request of the Secured Party, the Tenant shall provide to the
Secured Party a current list of Equipment.
Section 5. Financing Statements; Documentary Stamp Taxes.

-8-
assignments, conveyances, financing statements, transfer endorsements, powers of
attorney, certificates, reports and other assurances or instruments and take
such further steps relating to the Collateral and other property or rights

reasonably deems appropriate or advisable to perfect, preserve or protect its
security interest in the Collateral. The Tenant authorizes the Secured Party to
file any such financing statements without the signature of the Tenant and the
Tenant will pay all applicable filing fees and related expenses. To the extent
permitted by law, a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement
or a financing statement shall be sufficient as a financing statement.

documents and cancel any documentary tax stamps required by and in accordance

loss, misapplication or nonapplication thereof; and
(v) to the extent that it may lawfully do so, the Tenant agrees
that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in
any manner whatsoever claim or take advantage of, any
appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption

otherwise affect the performance or enforcement of this
Agreement or any other document, the Lease or any other
document or agreement entered into in connection herewith
or therewith, and the Tenant hereby expressly waives all
benefit or advantage of any such laws and covenants that it
will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power
granted or delegated to the Secured Party in this
Agreement, but will suffer and permit the execution of
every such power as though no such laws were in force.
In the event of any sale of Collateral pursuant to this Section 7, the Secured
Party shall, at least ten (10) days before such sale, give the Tenant written
notice of its intention to sell, except that, if the Secured Party shall

to the Tenant, which time periods the Tenant hereby agrees are reasonable.
(d) The Secured Party is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and
lawful attorney-in-fact of the Tenant in its name and stead, to make all

to the Secured Party or to such purchaser all property, deeds, bills of sale,
instruments or assignment and transfer and releases as may be designated in any
such request.
Section 8. Application of Moneys. All moneys which the Secured Party
shall receive pursuant hereto shall first be applied (to the extent thereof) to
the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
administration and enforcement of, or the preservation of any rights under, this
Agreement or any of without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of
its counsel and agents), and the balance, if any, shall be applied first to
accrued and unpaid interest, charges and fees on, and then to outstanding
principal of, any Obligations of the Tenant (or its affiliates) to the Secured
Party, and then to any other amounts outstanding on any such Obligations and
then as required by law to any other parties having an interest therein.
Section 9. Waivers, Etc. The Tenant, on its own behalf and on behalf of
its successors and assigns, hereby waives presentment, demand, notice, protest

the Secured Party hereunder or in connection with any Obligations or any
Collateral; waives all rights to require a marshaling of assets by the Secured

compromise thereof, (iv) any requirement of diligence or promptness on the part
of the Secured Party in the enforcement of any rights in respect of any

thereto, and (v) any enforcement of any present or future agreement or
instrument relating directly or indirectly to the Collateral. No delay or
omission on the part of the Secured Party or any holder of Obligations in
exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any
other right hereunder. No waiver of any such right on any one occasion shall be
construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right on any future occasion. No
course of dealing between the Tenant and the Secured Party or any holder of
Obligations,
-14-
nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part
of the Secured Party or any holder of Obligations, any right, power or privilege
hereunder or under any of the Obligations, shall operate as a waiver thereof;
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege
hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the
exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
The Tenant further waives any right it may have under the constitution
of any state or commonwealth in which any of the Collateral may be located, or
under the Constitution of the United States of America, to notice (except for
notice specifically required hereby) or to a judicial hearing prior to the
exercise of any right or remedy provided by this Agreement to the Secured Party,
and waives its rights, if any, to set aside or invalidate any sale duly
consummated in accordance with the foregoing provisions hereof on the grounds
(if such be the case) that the sale was consummated without a prior judicial
hearing. THE TENANT'S WAIVERS UNDER THIS SECTION 9 HAVE BEEN MADE VOLUNTARILY,
INTELLIGENTLY AND KNOWINGLY AND AFTER THE TENANT HAS BEEN APPRISED AND COUNSELED
BY ITS ATTORNEYS AS TO THE NATURE THEREOF AND ITS POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVE RIGHTS.
The Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or
future security for (including without limitation this Agreement and the
Collateral pledged hereunder), or guaranties of, the Obligations or any of them,
or to resort to such security or guaranties in any particular order; and all of
the rights hereunder and in respect of such securities and guaranties shall be
cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To
the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Tenant hereby agrees that it
will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which, might
cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Secured Party's rights under
this Agreement or under any other instrument evidencing any of the Obligations
or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the
Obligations is secured or guaranteed, and, to the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law, the Tenant hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such
laws.

time to time hereafter, the Tenant will execute and deliver, or will cause to be
executed and delivered, such additional instruments, certificates or documents
(including, without limitation, financing statements, renewal statements,

all such actions as the Secured Party may
-15-
reasonably request, for the purposes of implementing or effectuating the
provisions of this Agreement or of more fully perfecting or renewing the Secured
Party's rights with respect to the Collateral (or with respect to any additions
thereto or replacements or proceeds thereof or with respect to any other
property or assets hereafter acquired by the Tenant which may be deemed to be a
part of the Collateral) pursuant hereto and thereto. The Secured Party is hereby
appointed the attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, of the Tenant
for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any
action, including, without limitation, executing, delivering and filing
applications, certificates, instruments and other documents and papers with
governmental authorities, and executing any instruments, including without
limitation financing or continuation statements, deeds to secure debt,

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 Party 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 Party or the Tenant shall elect to submit any
such dispute to arbitration hereunder, the Secured Party 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 Party 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
-16-
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 borne equally between the Secured Party 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
Party 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.
Section 12. Miscellaneous.
(a) The Tenant agrees that its obligations and the rights of the
Secured Party hereunder and in respect of the Obligations may be enforced by

of any of the Lease or any document or agreement executed in connection herewith
or therewith, the Obligations or any security for any of the Obligations;

Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the

any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in
any other jurisdiction.
