SECTION 8B. GUARANTY
8B.1. Guaranty of Payment and Performance.
-----------------------------------
Subject to Section 8B.7, the Guarantor hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably guarantees to each Financing Party the prompt payment and
performance of the Company Obligations in full when due (whether at stated
maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise) or when such
is otherwise to be performed; provided, notwithstanding the foregoing, the
--------
obligations of the Guarantor under this Section 8B shall not constitute a direct
guaranty of the indebtedness of
27
the Lessor evidenced by the Notes but rather a guaranty of the Company
Obligations arising under the Operative Agreements. This Section 8B is a
guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection and is a continuing
guaranty and shall apply to all Company Obligations whenever arising. The
exercise of any rights granted to the Financing Parties under this Section 8B
shall be in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2(j) and 10.6.
8B.2. Obligations Unconditional.
-------------------------
The Guarantor agrees that the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are
irrevocable, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness,
validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Operative Agreements, or
any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any substitution,
release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Company
Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety, guarantor or
co-obligor, it being the intent of this Section 8B.2 that the obligations of the
Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all
circumstances. The Guarantor agrees that this Section 8B may be enforced by the
Financing Parties without the necessity at any time of resorting to or
exhausting any other security or collateral and without the necessity at any
time of having recourse to the Notes, the Certificates or any other of the
Operative Agreements or any collateral, if any, hereafter securing the Company
Obligations or otherwise and the Guarantor hereby waives the right to require
the Financing Parties to proceed against the Construction Agent, the Lessee or
any other Person (including without limitation a co-guarantor) or to require the
Financing Parties to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. The
Guarantor further agrees that it hereby waives any and all right of subrogation,
indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against the Lessee and the Construction
Agent or any other guarantor of the Company Obligations for amounts paid under
this Section 8B until such time as the Loans, Holder Fundings, accrued but
unpaid interest, accrued but unpaid Holder Yield and all other amounts owing
under the Operative Agreements have been paid in full. Without limiting the
generality of the waiver provisions of this Section 8B, the Guarantor hereby
waives any rights to require the Financing Parties to proceed against the
Construction Agent, the Lessee or any co-guarantor or to require Lessor to
pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right, including without
limitation, any and all rights under N.C. Gen. Stat. (S) 26-7 through 26-9. The
Guarantor further agrees that nothing contained herein shall prevent the
Financing Parties from suing on any Operative Agreement or foreclosing any
security interest in or Lien on any collateral, if any, securing the Company
Obligations or from exercising any other rights available to it under any
Operative Agreement, or any other instrument of security, if any, and the
exercise of any of the aforesaid rights and the completion of any foreclosure
proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of the Guarantor's obligations
hereunder; it being the purpose and intent of the Guarantor that its obligations
hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all
circumstances; provided that any amounts due under this Section 8B which are
--------
paid to or for the benefit of any Financing Party shall reduce the Company
Obligations by a corresponding amount (unless required to be rescinded at a
later date). Neither any Guarantor's obligations under this Section 8B nor any
remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or
released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification, change,
release or limitation of the liability of the Construction Agent or the Lessee
or by reason of the bankruptcy or insolvency of
28
the Construction Agent or the Lessee. The Guarantor waives any and all notice of
the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Company Obligations
and notice of or proof of reliance by any Financing Party upon this Section 8B
or acceptance of this Section 8B. The Company Obligations shall conclusively be
deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended,
amended or waived, in reliance upon this Section 8B. All dealings between the
Construction Agent, the Lessee and the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the
Financing Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to
have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Section 8B.
8B.3. Modifications.
-------------
The Guarantor agrees that (a) all or any part of the security now or
hereafter held for the Company Obligations, if any, may be exchanged,
compromised or surrendered from time to time; (b) no Financing Party shall have
any obligation to protect, perfect, secure or insure any such security
interests, liens or encumbrances now or hereafter held, if any, for the Company
Obligations or the properties subject thereto; (c) the time or place of payment
of the Company Obligations may be changed or extended, in whole or in part, to a
time certain or otherwise, and may be renewed or accelerated, in whole or in
part; (d) the Construction Agent, the Lessee and any other party liable for
payment under the Operative Agreements may be granted indulgences generally; (e)
any of the provisions of the Notes, the Certificates or any of the other
Operative Agreements may be modified, amended or waived; (f) any party
(including any co-guarantor) liable for the payment thereof may be granted
indulgences or be released; and (g) any deposit balance for the credit of the
Construction Agent, the Lessee or any other party liable for the payment of the
Company Obligations or liable upon any security therefor may be released, in
whole or in part, at, before or after the stated, extended or accelerated
maturity of the Company Obligations, all without notice to or further assent by
the Guarantor, which shall remain bound thereon, notwithstanding any such
exchange, compromise, surrender, extension, renewal, acceleration, modification,
indulgence or release.
8B.4. Waiver of Rights.
----------------
The Guarantor expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law: (a) notice of acceptance of this Section 8B by any Financing
Party and of all extensions of credit or other Advances to the Construction
Agent and the Lessee by the Lenders pursuant to the terms of the Operative
Agreements; (b) presentment and demand for payment or performance of any of the
Company Obligations; (c) protest and notice of dishonor or of default with
respect to the Company Obligations or with respect to any security therefor; (d)
notice of any Financing Party obtaining, amending, substituting for, releasing,
waiving or modifying any security interest, lien or encumbrance, if any,
hereafter securing the Company Obligations, or any Financing Party's
subordinating, compromising, discharging or releasing such security interests,
liens or encumbrances, if any; and (e) all other notices to which the Guarantor
might otherwise be entitled. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
the Guarantor's payments hereunder shall be due five (5) Business Days after
written demand by the Agent to the Lessee or the Guarantor for such payment
(unless the Company Obligations are automatically accelerated pursuant to the
applicable
29
provisions of the Operative Agreements or are deemed accelerated as provided in
Section 8B.6 in which case the Guarantor's payments shall be automatically due).
8B.5. Reinstatement.
-------------
The obligations of the Guarantor under this Section 8B shall be
automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by
or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Company Obligations is rescinded or
must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Company Obligations,
whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or
otherwise, and the Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify each Financing Party
on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by any Financing Party in connection with
such rescission or restoration, including without limitation any such costs and
expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment
constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.
8B.6. Remedies.
--------
The Guarantor agrees that, as between the Guarantor, on the one hand, and
each Financing Party, on the other hand, the Company Obligations may be declared
to be forthwith due and payable as provided in the applicable provisions of the
Operative Agreements (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and
payable on an Event of Default specified in Section 17.1(h), (i) or (j) of the
Lease) notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
declaration (or preventing such Company Obligations from becoming automatically
due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such
declaration (or such Company Obligations being deemed to have become
automatically due and payable), such Company Obligations (whether or not due and
payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the
Guarantor in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Operative
Agreements.
8B.7. Termination of Guaranty.
-----------------------
Subject to Section 8B.5, upon the satisfaction of the Company Obligations
in full, regardless of the source of payment, the Guarantor's obligations
hereunder shall be deemed satisfied, discharged and terminated other than
indemnifications set forth herein that expressly survive.
8B.8. Payment of Amounts to the Agent.
-------------------------------
Each Financing Party hereby instructs the Guarantor, and the Guarantor
hereby acknowledges and agrees, that until such time as the Loans and the Holder
Fundings are paid in full and the Liens evidenced by the Security Agreement and
the Mortgage Instruments have been released any and all Rent (excluding Excepted
Payments which shall be payable to each Holder or other Person as appropriate)
and any and all other amounts of any kind or type under any of the Operative
Agreements due and owing or payable to any Person shall instead be paid directly
30
to the Agent (excluding Excepted Payments which shall be payable to each Holder
or other Person as appropriate) or as the Agent may direct from time to time for
allocation and distribution in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Section 10.4 hereof and Section 8 of the Credit Agreement.
8B.9. Denial Or Disaffirmance Of Guaranty.
-----------------------------------
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any
other Operative Agreement, the parties hereto agree that, unless released in
connection with the Operative Agreements, if the guaranty given by the Guarantor
under Section 8B of the Participation Agreement or any material provision
thereof shall cease to be in full force or effect, or the Guarantor or any
Person acting on behalf of the Guarantor shall deny or disaffirm the Guarantor's
obligations under such guaranty, then the Guarantor shall automatically, without
notice and without any further act, be deemed to be an additional construction

--------
Section 10.5 shall be of the type normally executed by the Lessee in the
ordinary course of the Lessee's business and shall be on commercially reasonable
terms so as not to diminish the value of any Property in any material respect.
10.6 Appointment By Holders And Owner Trustee.
----------------------------------------
Except as expressly provided in any Operative Agreement where the Owner
Trustee is required to act for or on behalf of the Holders, each Holder hereby
designates and appoints the Agent as the Agent of such Holder under this
Agreement and the other Operative Agreements, to take such action on behalf of
such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Operative

Lender thereunder. Except as may be expressly provided to the contrary, for
purposes hereof, outstanding Holder Fundings shall be taken into account and
treated as Loans for purposes of determining Majority Lenders; provided,
however, in any case, under the Operative Agreements where the consent of the
Holder is expressly required or the Holder is entitled to take any action, such
consent shall be given or action taken, whether directly by the Holder or by the
Agent (without the requirement that the consent of any Lender be obtained or
permission for such action be granted by any Lender); and, provided, further, no
amendment to any provision expressly requiring the consent of the Holder or
permitting the Holder to take action (whether directly or through the Agent),
shall be
37
effective without the written consent of the Holder. Further, the Agent shall be
entitled to take such action on behalf of the Owner Trustee as is delegated to

12.1 Restrictions On Transfer.
------------------------
Each Lender may assign or transfer all or a portion of its interest
hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements in accordance with Section
9.8 of the Credit Agreement; provided, (i) each assignee or transferee with
--------
respect to Tranche A Loans and Tranche A Commitments must obtain the same
ratable interest in Tranche A Loans and Tranche A Commitments as defined in the
XXXX Participation Agreement, and (ii) each assignee or transferee with respect
to Tranche B Loans and Tranche B Commitments must obtain the same ratable

Trust Estate (together with the same ratable interest in the XXXX Trust Estate)
or the Trust Agreement with the prior written consent of the Agent and, so long
as no Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing and the Lessee has rights in one or more of the Properties under the

The Owner Trustee may, subject to the Lien of the applicable Security Documents
but only with the prior written consent of the Agent, the Holders (which consent

title or interest in or to any Property, the Lease, the Trust Agreement, this
39
Agreement (including, without limitation, any right to indemnification
thereunder), or any other document relating to a Property or any interest in a
Property as provided in the Trust Agreement and the Lease. The provisions of the
immediately preceding sentence shall not apply to the obligations of the Owner
Trustee to transfer Property to the Lessee or a third party purchaser pursuant
to Article XXII of the Lease upon payment for such Property in accordance with
the terms and conditions of the Lease.
12.2 Effect Of Transfer.

From and after any transfer effected in accordance with this Section 12,
the transferor shall be released, to the extent of such transfer, from its
liability hereunder and under the other documents to which it is a party in
respect of obligations to be performed on or after the date of such transfer;
provided, however, that any transferor Holder shall remain liable under Article
XI of the Trust Agreement to the extent that the transferee Holder shall not
have assumed the obligations of the transferor Holder thereunder. Upon any
transfer by the Owner Trustee, a Holder or a Lender as above provided, any such
transferee shall assume the obligations of the Owner Trustee, the Lessor, the
Holder or the Lender, as the case may be, and shall be deemed an "Owner
Trustee", "Lessor", "Holder", or "Lender", as the case may be, for all purposes
of such documents and each reference herein to the transferor shall thereafter
be deemed a reference to such transferee for all purposes, except as provided in
the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding any transfer of all or a portion of the
transferor's interest as provided in this Section 12, the transferor shall be
entitled to all benefits accrued and all rights vested prior to such transfer
including, without limitation, rights to indemnification under any such
document.
SECTION 13 INDEMNIFICATION.
13.1 General Indemnity.
-----------------
Subject to and limited by in all respects the provisions of Sections 13.5
and 13.6 and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be
consummated, the Indemnity Provider hereby assumes liability for and agrees to
defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person on an After Tax
Basis from and against any Claims, which may be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against an Indemnified Person (by any third party, including Claims
arising from the negligence of an Indemnified Person (but not to the extent such
Claims arise from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or willful breach of
such Indemnified Person or are otherwise solely attributable to acts or events
occurring after the expiration of the Lease or after the transfer of all of the
Properties to the Lessee or a third party)) in any way relating to or arising or
alleged to arise out of the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of
this Agreement, the Lease or any other Operative Agreement or on or with respect
to any Property or any component thereof, including, without limitation, Claims
in any way relating to or arising or alleged to arise out of (a) the financing,
refinancing, purchase, acceptance, rejection, ownership, design, construction,
refurbishment, development, delivery, acceptance, nondelivery, leasing,
subleasing, possession, use, operation, maintenance repair, modification,
transportation, condition, sale, return, repossession (whether by summary
proceedings or otherwise), or any other disposition of any Property or any part
thereof, including the acquisition, holding or disposition of any interest in
the
40
Property, lease or agreement comprising a portion of any thereof; (b) any latent
or other defects in any Property or any portion thereof whether or not
discoverable by an Indemnified Person or the Indemnity Provider; (c) a violation
of Environmental Laws, Environmental Claims or other loss of or damage to any
property or the environment relating to the Property, the Lease, the Agency
Agreement or the Indemnity Provider; (d) the Operative Agreements, or any
transaction contemplated thereby; (e) any breach by the Indemnity Provider of
any of its representations or warranties under the Operative Agreements to which
the Indemnity Provider is a party or failure by the Indemnity Provider to
perform or observe any covenant or agreement to be performed by it under any of
the Operative Agreement; (f) the transactions contemplated hereby or by any
other Operative Agreement, in respect of the application of Parts 4 and 5 of
Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA; and (g) personal injury, death or property
damage, including Claims based on strict or absolute liability in tort.
If a written Claim is made against any Indemnified Person or if any
proceeding shall be commenced against such Indemnified Person (including a
written notice of such proceeding), for any Claim, such Indemnified Person shall
promptly notify the Indemnity Provider in writing and shall not take action with
respect to such Claim without the consent of the Indemnity Provider for thirty
(30) days after the receipt of such notice by the Indemnity Provider; provided,
however, that, in the case of any such Claim, if action shall be required by law
or regulation to be taken prior to the end of such 30-day period, such
Indemnified Person shall endeavor to, in such notice to the Indemnity Provider,
inform the Indemnity Provider of such shorter period, and no action shall be
taken with respect to such Claim without the consent of the Indemnity Provider
before 7 days before the end of such shorter period; provided, further, that the
failure of such Indemnified Person to give the notices referred to in this
sentence shall not diminish the Indemnity Provider's obligation hereunder except
to the extent such failure precludes the Indemnity Provider from contesting such
Claim.
If, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice from the Indemnified
Person (or such shorter period as the Indemnified Person has notified the
Indemnity Provider is required by law or regulation for the Indemnified Person
to respond to such Claim), the Indemnity Provider shall request in writing that
such Indemnified Person respond to such Claim, the Indemnified Person shall, at
the expense of the Indemnity Provider, in good faith conduct and control such
action (including, without limitation, by pursuit of appeals) (provided,
however, that (A) if such Claim, in the Indemnity Person's reasonable
discretion, can be pursued by the Indemnity Provider on behalf of or in the name
of such Indemnified Person, the Indemnified Person, at the Indemnity Provider's
request, shall allow the Indemnity Provider to conduct and control the response
to such Claim and (B) in the case of any Claim, the Indemnified Person may
request the Indemnity Provider to conduct and control the response to such Claim
(with counsel to be selected by the Indemnity Provider and consented to by such
Indemnified Person, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided,
however, that any Indemnified Person may retain separate counsel at the expense
of the Indemnity Provider in the event of a conflict)) by, in the sole
discretion of the Person conducting and controlling the response to such Claim
(1) resisting payment thereof, (2) not paying the same except under protest, if
protest is necessary and proper, (3) if the payment be made, using reasonable
efforts to obtain a refund thereof in appropriate administrative and judicial
proceedings,
41
or (4) taking such other action as is reasonably requested by the Indemnity
Provider from time to time.
The party controlling the response to any Claim shall consult in good faith
with the non-controlling party and shall keep the non-controlling party
reasonably informed as to the conduct of the response to such Claim; provided,
that all decisions ultimately shall be made in the discretion of the controlling
party. The parties agree that an Indemnified Person may at any time decline to
take further action with respect to the response to such Claim and may settle
such Claim if such Indemnified Person shall waive its rights to any indemnity
from the Indemnity Provider that otherwise would be payable in respect of such
Claim (and any future Claim, the pursuit of which is precluded by reason of such
resolution of such Claim) and shall pay to the Indemnity Provider any amount
previously paid or advanced by the Indemnity Provider pursuant to this Section
13.1 by way of indemnification or advance for the payment of an amount regarding
such Claim.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.1, an
Indemnified Person shall not be required to take any action and no Indemnity
Provider shall be permitted to respond to any Claim in its own name or that of
the Indemnified Person unless (A) the Indemnity Provider shall have agreed to
pay and shall pay to such Indemnified Person on demand and on an After Tax Basis
all reasonable costs, losses and expenses that such Indemnified Person actually
incurs in connection with such Claim, including, without limitation, all
reasonable legal, accounting and investigatory fees and disbursements and, if
the Indemnified Person has informed the Indemnity Provider (in its initial
notice of the Claim) that it intends to contest such Claim (whether or not the
control of the contest is then assumed by the Indemnity Provider), the Indemnity
Provider shall have agreed that the Claim is an indemnifiable Claim hereunder,
(B) in the case of a Claim that must be pursued in the name of an Indemnified
Person (or an Affiliate thereof), the amount of the potential indemnity (taking
into account all similar or logically related Claims that have been or could be
raised for which the Indemnity Provider may be liable to pay an indemnity under
this Section 13.1) exceeds $25,000, (C) the Indemnified Person shall have
reasonably determined that the action to be taken will not result in any
material danger of sale, forfeiture or loss of the Property, or any part thereof
or interest therein, will not interfere with the payment of Rent, and will not
result in risk of criminal liability, (D) if such Claim shall involve the
payment of any amount prior to the resolution of such Claim, the Indemnity
Provider shall provide to the Indemnified Person an interest-free advance in an
amount equal to the amount that the Indemnified Person is required to pay (with
no additional net after-tax cost to such Indemnified Person), (E) in the case of
a Claim that must be pursued in the name of an Indemnified Person (or an
Affiliate thereof), the Indemnity Provider shall have provided to such
Indemnified Person an opinion of independent counsel selected by the Indemnified
Person and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnity Provider stating that a
reasonable basis exists to contest such Claim (or, in the case of an appeal of
an adverse determination, an opinion of such counsel to the effect that the
position asserted in such appeal will more likely than not prevail) and (F) no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. In no event shall an
Indemnified Person be required to appeal an adverse judicial determination to
the United States Supreme Court. In addition, an Indemnified Person shall not be
required to contest any Claim in its name (or that of an Affiliate) if the
subject matter thereof shall be of a continuing nature and shall have previously
been decided adversely by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to the
contest provisions of this Section 13.1, unless there shall have been a change
in law (or interpretation
42
thereof) and the Indemnified Person shall have received, at the Indemnity
Provider's expense, an opinion of independent counsel selected by the
Indemnified Person and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnity Provider stating
that as a result of such change in law (or interpretation thereof), it is more
likely than not that the Indemnified Person will prevail in such contest.
13.2 General Tax Indemnity.
---------------------
(a) Subject to and limited by in all respects the provisions of
Sections 13.5 and 13.6, the Indemnity Provider shall pay and assume
liability for, and does hereby agree to indemnify, protect and defend each
Property and all Indemnified Persons, and hold them harmless against, all
Impositions on an After Tax Basis, and all payments pursuant to the
Operative Agreements shall be made free and clear of and without deduction
for any and all present and future Impositions.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 13.2(a)
hereof, the following shall be excluded from the indemnity required by
Section 13.2(a):
(i) Taxes (other than Taxes that are, or are in the nature of,
sales, use, rental, value added, transfer or property taxes) that are
imposed on a Indemnified Person (other than Lessor) by the United
States federal government that are based on or measured by the net
income (including taxes based on capital gains and minimum taxes) of
such Person; provided, that this clause (i) shall not be interpreted
to prevent a payment from being made on an After Tax Basis if such
payment is otherwise required to be so made;
(ii) Taxes (other than Taxes that are, or are in the nature of,
sales, use, rental, value added, transfer or property taxes) that are
imposed on any Indemnified Person (other than Lessor) by any state or
local jurisdiction or taxing authority within any state or local
jurisdiction and that are based upon or measured by the net income or
net receipts, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to (and
thus shall not exclude) any such Taxes imposed on an Indemnified
Person by a state (or any local taxing authority thereof or therein)
where any Property is located, possessed or used under the Lease;
provided, that this clause (ii) shall not be interpreted to prevent a
payment from being made on an After Tax Basis if such payment is
otherwise required to be so made;
(iii) any Tax to the extent it relates to any act, event or
omission that occurs after the termination of the Lease and redelivery
or sale of the property in accordance with the terms of the Lease (but
not any Tax that relates to such termination, redelivery or sale
and/or to any period prior to such termination, redelivery or sale);
and
(iv) any Taxes which are imposed on an Indemnified Person as a
result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnified Person itself (as opposed to gross negligence or willful
misconduct imputed to such Indemnified
43
Person), but not Taxes imposed as a result of ordinary negligence of
such Indemnified Person;
(c) (i) Subject to the terms of Section 13.2(f), the Indemnity
Provider shall pay or cause to be paid all Impositions directly to the
taxing authorities where feasible and otherwise to the Indemnified Person,
as appropriate, and the Indemnity Provider shall at its own expense, upon
such Indemnified Person's reasonable request, furnish to such Indemnified
Person copies of official receipts or other satisfactory proof evidencing
such payment.
(ii) In the case of Impositions for which no contest is
conducted pursuant to Section 13.2(f) and which the Indemnity Provider
pays directly to the taxing authorities, the Indemnity Provider shall
pay such Impositions prior to the latest time permitted by the
relevant taxing authority for timely payment. In the case of
Impositions for which the Indemnity Provider reimburses an Indemnified
Person, the Indemnity Provider shall do so within thirty (30) days
after receipt by the Indemnity Provider of demand by such Indemnified
Person describing in reasonable detail the nature of the Imposition
and the basis for the demand (including the computation of the amount
payable). In the case of Impositions for which a contest is conducted
pursuant to Section 13.2(f), the Indemnity Provider shall pay such
Impositions or reimburse such Indemnified Person for such Impositions,
to the extent not previously paid or reimbursed pursuant to subsection
(a), prior to the latest time permitted by the relevant taxing
authority for timely payment after conclusion of all contests under
Section 13.2(f).
(iii) At the Indemnity Provider's request, the amount of any
indemnification payment by the Indemnity Provider pursuant to
subsection (a) shall be verified and certified by an independent
public accounting firm mutually acceptable to the Indemnity Provider
and the Indemnified Person. The fees and expenses of such independent
public accounting firm shall be paid by the Indemnity Provider unless
such verification shall result in an adjustment in the Indemnity
Provider's favor of 15% or more of the payment as computed by the
Indemnified Person, in which case such fee shall be paid by the
Indemnified Person.
(d) The Indemnity Provider shall be responsible for preparing and
filing any real and personal property or ad valorem tax returns in respect
of each Property. In case any other report or tax return shall be required
to be made with respect to any obligations of the Indemnity Provider under
or arising out of subsection (a) and of which the Indemnity Provider has
knowledge or should have knowledge, the Indemnity Provider, at its sole
cost and expense, shall notify the relevant Indemnified Person of such
requirement and (except if such Indemnified Person notifies the Indemnity
Provider that such Indemnified Person intends to file such report or
return) (A) to the extent required or permitted by and consistent with
Legal Requirements, make and file in Indemnity Provider's name such return,
statement or report; and (B) in the case of any other such return,
statement or report required to be made in the name of such Indemnified
Person, advise such Indemnified
44
Person of such fact and prepare such return, statement or report for filing
by such Indemnified Person or, where such return, statement or report shall
be required to reflect items in addition to any obligations of the
Indemnity Provider under or arising out of subsection (a), provide such
Indemnified Person at the Indemnity Provider's expense with information
sufficient to permit such return, statement or report to be properly made
with respect to any obligations of the Indemnity Provider under or arising
out of subsection (a). Such Indemnified Person shall, upon the Indemnity
Provider's request and at the Indemnity Provider's expense, provide any
data maintained by such Indemnified Person (and not otherwise available to
or within the control of the Indemnity Provider) with respect to each
Property which the Indemnity Provider may reasonably require to prepare any
required tax returns or reports.
(e) As between the Indemnity Provider on one hand, and the Lessor or
the Agent, any Lender or any Holder on the other hand, the Indemnity
Provider shall be responsible for, and the Indemnity Provider shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Lessor, the Agent, the Lenders and each
Holder (without duplication of any indemnification required by subsection
(a)) on an After Tax Basis against, any obligation for United States or
foreign withholding taxes imposed in respect of the interest payable on the
Notes or with respect to Rent payments under the Lease (and, if the Lessor,
the Agent, any Lender or any Holder receives a demand for such payment from
any taxing authority, the Indemnity Provider shall discharge such demand on
behalf of the Lessor, the Agent, such Lender or such Holder); provided,
however, that the right of any Lender to make a claim for indemnification
under this Section 13.2(e) is subject to the compliance by such Lender with
the requirements of Section 2.13 of the Credit Agreement.
(f) (i) If a written Claim is made against any Indemnified Person or
if any proceeding shall be commenced against such Indemnified Person
(including a written notice of such proceeding), for any Impositions, such
Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Indemnity Provider in writing
and shall not take action with respect to such Claim or proceeding without
the consent of the Indemnity Provider for thirty (30) days after the
receipt of such notice by the Indemnity Provider; provided, however, that,
in the case of any such Claim or proceeding, if action shall be required by
law or regulation to be taken prior to the end of such 30-day period, such
Indemnified Person shall, in such notice to the Indemnity Provider, inform
the Indemnity Provider of such shorter period, and no action shall be taken
with respect to such Claim or proceeding without the consent of the
Indemnity Provider before 7 days before the end of such shorter period;
provided, further, that the failure of such Indemnified Person to give the
notices referred to this sentence shall not diminish the Indemnity
Provider's obligation hereunder except to the extent such failure
materially precludes the Indemnity Provider from contesting such Claim.
(ii) If, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice
from the Indemnified Person (or such shorter period as the Indemnified
Person has notified the Indemnity Provider is required by law or
regulation for the Indemnified Person to commence such contest), the
Indemnity Provider shall request in writing that such Indemnified
Person contest such Imposition, the Indemnified Person shall, at
45
the expense of the Indemnity Provider, in good faith conduct and
control such contest (including, without limitation, by pursuit of
appeals) relating to the validity, applicability or amount of such
Impositions (provided, however, that (A) if such contest involves a
tax other than a tax on net income and can be pursued independently
from any other proceeding involving a tax liability of such
Indemnified Person, the Indemnified Person, at the Indemnity
Provider's request, shall allow the Indemnity Provider (and the
Indemnity Provider shall be obligated) to conduct and control such
contest and (B) in the case of any contest, the Indemnified Person may
request the Indemnity Provider to conduct and control such contest
(with counsel to be selected by the Indemnity Provider and consented
to by such Indemnified Person, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld; provided, however, that any Indemnified Person may retain
separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnity Provider in the event
of a conflict)) by, in the sole discretion of the Person conducting
and controlling such contest, (1) resisting payment thereof, (2) not
paying the same except under protest, if protest is necessary and
proper, (3) if the payment be made, using reasonable efforts to obtain
a refund thereof in appropriate administrative and judicial
proceedings, or (4) taking such other action as is reasonably
requested by the Indemnity Provider from time to time.
(iii) The party controlling any contest shall consult in
good faith with the non-controlling party and shall keep the non-
controlling party reasonably informed as to the conduct of such
contest; provided, that all decisions ultimately shall be made in the
sole discretion of the controlling party. The parties agree that an
Indemnified Person may at any time decline to take further action with
respect to the contest of any Imposition and may settle such contest
if such Indemnified Person shall waive its rights to any indemnity
from the Indemnity Provider that otherwise would be payable in respect
of such Claim (and any future Claim by any taxing authority, the
contest of which is precluded by reason of such resolution of such
Claim) and shall pay to the Indemnity Provider any amount previously
paid or advanced by the Indemnity Provider pursuant to this Section
13.2 by way of indemnification or advance for the payment of an
Imposition other than expenses of such contest.
(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 13.2, an Indemnified Person shall not be required to take any
action and no Indemnity Provider shall be permitted to contest any
Impositions in its own name or that of the Indemnified Person unless
(A) the Indemnity Provider shall have agreed to pay and shall pay to
such Indemnified Person on demand and on an After Tax Basis all
reasonable costs, losses and expenses that such Indemnified Person
actually incurs in connection with contesting such Impositions,
including, without limitation, all reasonable legal, accounting and
investigatory fees and disbursements, and, if the Indemnified Person
has informed the Indemnity Provider (in its initial notice of the
Imposition) that it intends to contest such Imposition (whether or not
the control of the contest is then assumed by the Indemnity Provider),
the Indemnity Provider shall have agreed that the Imposition is an
46
indemnifiable Imposition hereunder, (B) in the case of a Claim that
must be pursued in the name of an Indemnified Person (or an Affiliate
thereof), the amount of the potential indemnity (taking into account
all similar or logically related Claims that have been or could be
raised in any audit involving such Indemnified Person for which the
Indemnity Provider may be liable to pay an indemnity under this
Section 13.2) exceeds $25,000, (C) the Indemnified Person shall have
reasonably determined that the action to be taken will not result in
any material danger of sale, forfeiture or loss of any Property, or
any part thereof or interest therein, will not interfere with the
payment of Rent, and will not result in risk of criminal liability,
(D) if such contest shall involve the payment of the Imposition prior
to the contest, the Indemnity Provider shall provide to the
Indemnified Person an interest-free advance in an amount equal to the
Imposition that the Indemnified Person is required to pay (with no
additional net after-tax cost to such Indemnified Person), (E) in the
case of a Claim that must be pursued in the name of an Indemnified
Person (or an Affiliate thereof), the Indemnity Provider shall have
provided to such Indemnified Person an opinion of independent tax
counsel selected by the Indemnified Person and reasonably satisfactory
to the Indemnity Provider stating that a reasonable basis exists to
contest such Claim (or, in the case of an appeal or an adverse
determination, an opinion of such counsel to the effect that the
position asserted in such appeal will more likely than not prevail)
and (F) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing. In no event shall an Indemnified Person be required to
appeal an adverse judicial determination to the United States Supreme
Court. In addition, an Indemnified Person shall not be required to
contest any Claim in its name (or that of an Affiliate) if the subject
matter thereof shall be of a continuing nature and shall have
previously been decided adversely by a court of competent jurisdiction
pursuant to the contest provisions of this Section 13.2, unless there
shall have been a change in law (or interpretation thereof) and the
Indemnified Person shall have received, at the Indemnity Provider's
expense, an opinion of independent tax counsel selected by the
Indemnified Person and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnity Provider
stating that as a result of such change in law (or interpretation
thereof), it is more likely than not that the Indemnified Person will
prevail in such contest.
13.3. EXPRESS INDEMNIFICATION FOR ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY,
------------------------------------------------------------------
ETC.
---
SUBJECT TO AND LIMITED BY IN ALL RESPECTS THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 13.5
AND 13.6 AND WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS
OF ANY AND ALL OF THE OPERATIVE AGREEMENTS, EACH PERSON PROVIDING
INDEMNIFICATION OF ANOTHER PERSON UNDER ANY OPERATIVE AGREEMENT HEREBY FURTHER
EXPRESSLY RELEASES EACH BENEFICIARY OF ANY SUCH INDEMNIFICATION FROM ALL CLAIMS
FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE, DESCRIBED IN ANY OPERATIVE AGREEMENT, CAUSED BY ANY ACT OR

(IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER ANY SUCH BENEFICIARY IS A PARTY TO THE ACTION FOR WHICH
INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER OPERATIVE AGREEMENT IS SOUGHT)
ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY) OR STRICT
LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH BENEFICIARY.
13.4. Additional Provisions Regarding Environmental Indemnification.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Each and every Indemnified Person shall at all times have the rights and
benefits, and the Indemnity Provider shall have the obligations, in each case
provided pursuant to the Operative Agreements with respect to environmental
matters, violations of any Environmental Law, any Environmental Claim or other
loss of or damage to any property or the environment relating to any Property,
the Lease, the Agency Agreement or the Indemnity Provider (including without
limitation the rights and benefits provided pursuant to Section 13.1(c).
13.5. Additional Provisions Regarding Indemnification.
-----------------------------------------------
Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 13.1, 13.2, 13.3 and 13.4 (other
than with respect to matters concerning indemnification for pre-existing
environmental conditions and for environmental conditions arising out of the
Construction Agent's use or possession of the Property), (a) the Owner Trustee
shall be the only beneficiary of the provisions set forth in Sections 13.1,
13.2, 13.3 and 13.4 (again, subject to the immediately preceding parenthetical
phrase) with respect to each Property solely for the period prior to the
applicable Completion Date for such Property, and (b) such limited rights of
indemnification referenced in Section 13.5(a) (to the extent relating to third-
party claims) shall be limited to third-party claims caused by or resulting from
the Indemnity Provider's acts or omissions and/or all other Persons acting by,
through or under the Indemnity Provider. After the applicable Completion Date
for such Property, each Indemnified Person shall be a beneficiary of the
provisions set forth in Sections 13.1, 13.2, 13.3 and 13.4.
13.6. Indemnifications Provided by the Owner Trustee in Favor of the Other
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Indemnified Persons.
-------------------
To the extent the Indemnity Provider is not obligated to indemnify each
Indemnified Person with respect to the various matters described in this Section
13.6, the Owner Trustee shall provide such indemnities (but only to the extent
amounts sufficient to pay such indemnity are funded by the Lenders and the
Holders) in favor of each Indemnified Person in accordance with this Section
13.6 and shall pay all such amounts owed with respect to this Section 13.6 with
amounts advanced by the Lenders and the Holders (a) to the extent, but only to
the extent,
48
amounts are available therefor with respect to the Available Commitments and the
Available Holder Commitments (subject to the rights of the Lenders and the
Holders to increase their respective commitment amounts in accordance with the
provisions of Section 5.8) and (b) unless each Lender and each Holder has
declined in writing to fund such amount. Notwithstanding any other provision in
any other Operative Agreement to the contrary, all amounts so advanced shall be
deemed added (ratably, based on the ratio of the Property Cost for each Property
individually to the Aggregate Property Cost of all Properties at such time) to
the Property Cost of all Properties then subject to the terms of the Operative
Agreements.
Whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be
consummated, the Owner Trustee hereby assumes liability for and agrees to
defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person on an After Tax
Basis from and against any Claims, which may be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against an Indemnified Person by any third party, including without
limitation Claims arising from the negligence of an Indemnified Person (but not
to the extent such Claims arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of such Indemnified Person itself, as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction, as opposed to gross negligence or willful misconduct imputed to
such Indemnified Person or breach of such Indemnified Person's obligations under
this Agreement, the Lease or any other Operative Agreement) in any way relating
to or arising or alleged to arise out of the execution, delivery, performance or
enforcement of this Agreement, the Lease or any other Operative Agreement or on
or with respect to any Property or any component thereof, including without
limitation Claims in any way relating to or arising or alleged to arise out of
the matters set forth in clauses (a) through (g) of the first paragraph of
Section 13.1.
The Owner Trustee shall pay and assume liability for, and does hereby agree
to indemnify, protect and defend each Property and all Indemnified Persons, and
hold them harmless against, all Impositions on an After Tax Basis, and all
payments pursuant to the Operative Agreements shall be made free and clear of
and without deduction for any and all present and future Impositions.

shall continue until paid or discharged; (ii) relieve the Lessor or any

willful breach on the part of the Lessor or any such Exculpated Person;

responsibility for (but only to the extent of the moneys misappropriated,

misappropriation or misapplication by the Lessor (i.e., application in a
manner contrary to any Operative Agreement) of any insurance proceeds or
condemnation award paid or delivered to the Lessor by any Person other than
the Agent, (b) except for Excepted Payments, any deposits or any escrows or
amounts owed by the Lessee under the Agency Agreement held by the Lessor or
(c) except for Excepted
53
Payments, any rents or other income received by the Lessor from any Credit
Party that are not turned over to the Agent; or (iv) affect or in any way
limit the Agent's rights and remedies under any Operative Agreement with
respect to the Rents and its rights and powers thereunder or to obtain a
judgment against the Lessee's interest in the Properties or to the extent
the Lessee may be personally liable as otherwise contemplated in clauses
(ii) and (iii) of this Section.

Notwithstanding any provision of the Operative Agreements, if at any time
all obligations (i) of the Owner Trustee under the Credit Agreement and the

all Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and other filings or
registrations which the parties hereto may from time to time request to be filed
or effected). The Lessee, without need of any prior request from any other
party, shall take such action as may be necessary (including any action

[Counsel Opinion for Lessee]
(Pursuant to Section 6.1(c) of the Participation Agreement)
__________ ___, 1999
TO THOSE ON THE ATTACHED DISTRIBUTION LIST
Re: Tax Retention Operating Lease Financing Provided in favor of
Capital One Services, Inc.
Dear Sirs:
We have acted as special counsel to Capital One Services, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Lessee") and Capital One Financial Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the "Guarantor") in connection with certain transactions
contemplated by the Participation Agreement (Capital One Services, Inc.) dated
as of September 3, 1999 (the "Participation Agreement"), among the Lessee, the
Guarantor, First Security Bank, National Association, not individually, but
solely as Owner Trustee under the Capital One Realty Trust 1998-1 (the "Owner
Trustee"), the various banks and other lending institutions parties thereto from
time to time, as the holders (the "Holders), the various banks and other lending
institutions parties thereto from time to time, as the lenders (the "Lenders"),
and Bank of America, N.A., as the administrative agent for the Lenders and
respecting the Security Documents, as the administrative agent for the Lenders
and the Holders, to the extent of their interests (the "Administrative Agent").
This opinion is delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(c) of the Participation
Agreement. All capitalized terms used herein, and not otherwise defined herein,
shall have the meanings assigned thereto in Appendix A to the Participation
Agreement.
In connection with the foregoing, we have examined originals, or copies
certified to our satisfaction, of the Operative Agreements, and such other
corporate documents and records of the Credit Parties, certificates of public
officials and representatives of the Credit Parties as to certain factual
matters, and such other instruments and documents which we have deemed necessary
or advisable to examine for the purpose of this opinion. With respect to such
examination, we have assumed (i) the statements of fact made in all such
certificates, documents and instruments are true, accurate and complete; (ii)
the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Operative Agreements by the
parties thereto other than the Credit Parties; (iii) the genuineness of all
signatures (other than the signatures of persons signing on behalf of the Credit
Parties), the authenticity and completeness of all documents, certificates,
instruments, records and corporate records submitted to us as originals and the
conformity to the original instruments of all documents
C-1
submitted to us as copies, and the authenticity and completeness of the
originals of such copies; (iv) that all parties other than the Credit Parties
have all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform
the Operative Agreements; and (v) the enforceability of the Operative Agreements
against all parties thereto other than the Credit Parties.
Based on the foregoing, and having due regard for such legal considerations as
we deem relevant, and subject to the limitations and assumptions set forth
herein, including the matters set forth in the last two paragraphs hereof, we
are of the opinion that:
(a) Each Credit Party is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the state of its incorporation or
formation and has the power and authority to conduct its business as presently
conducted and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the
Operative Agreements to which it is a party. Each Credit Party is duly
qualified to do business in all jurisdictions in which its failure to so qualify
would materially impair its ability to perform its obligations under the
Operative Agreements to which it is a party or its financial position or its
business as now and now proposed to be conducted.
(b) The execution, delivery and performance by each Credit Party of the
Operative Agreements to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action on the part of such Credit Party and the Operative
Agreements to which such Credit Party is a party have been duly executed and
delivered by such Credit Party.
(c) The Operative Agreements to which each Credit Party is a party
constitute valid and binding obligations of such Credit Party enforceable
against such Credit Party in accordance with the terms thereof, subject to
bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, and
similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally, and general principles of
equity (regardless of whether the application of such principles is considered
in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(d) The execution and delivery by each Credit Party of the Operative
Agreements to which it is a party and compliance by such Credit Party with all
of the provisions thereof do not and will not (i) contravene the provisions of,
or result in any breach of or constitute any default under, or result in the
creation of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of its property
under, its Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws or any indenture, mortgage,
chattel mortgage, deed of trust, lease, conditional sales contract, bank loan or
credit agreement or other agreement or instrument to which such Credit Party is
a party or by which it or any of its property may be bound or affected, or (ii)
contravene any Laws or any order of any Governmental Authority applicable to or
binding on such Credit Party.
(e) No Governmental Action by, and no notice to or filing with, any
Governmental Authority is required for the due execution, delivery or
performance by any Credit Party of any of the Operative Agreements to which it
is a party.
(f) Except as set forth on Schedule 1 hereto, there are no actions, suits
or proceedings pending or to our knowledge, threatened against any Credit Party
in any court or before any
C-2
Governmental Authority, that concern the Property or any Credit Party's interest
therein or that question the validity or enforceability of any Operative
Agreement to which such Credit Party is a party or the overall transaction
described in the Operative Agreements to which such Credit Party is a party.
(g) Neither the nature of the Property, nor any relationship between any
Credit Party and any other Person, nor any circumstance in connection with the
execution, delivery and performance of the Operative Agreements to which such
Credit Party is a party is such as to require any approval of stockholders of,
or approval or consent of any trustee or holders of indebtedness of, such Credit
Party, except for such approvals and consents which have been duly obtained and
are in full force and effect.
(h) The Security Documents which have been executed and delivered as of
the date of this opinion create, for the benefit of the holders of the Notes,
the security interest in the C Collateral described therein which by their terms
such Security Documents purports to create. Upon filing of the UCC-1 financing
statements with ________________________ [identify filing offices], the Agent
will have a perfected security interest in that portion of the Collateral which
can be perfected by such filing under Article 9 of the UCC.
(i) The Operative Agreements to which First Security Bank, National
Association, as Owner Trustee, is a party constitute are enforceable against
First Security Bank, National Association, as Owner Trustee, as the case may be,
enforceable against First Security Bank, National Association, individually or
as Owner Trustee, in accordance with the terms thereof, subject to bankruptcy,
insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, and similar laws
affecting creditors, rights generally, and general principles of equity
(regardless of whether the application of such principles is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law).
(j) The execution and delivery by First Security Bank, National
Association, individually or as Owner Trustee, as the case may be, of the
Operative Agreements (other than the Trust Agreement) to which it is a party and
compliance by First Security Bank, National Association, individually or as
Owner Trustee, with all of the provisions thereof do not and will not contravene
any law, rule or regulation of ___________________.
(k) The Mortgage Instrument and UCC fixture filings relating thereto are
in proper form for recording and/or filing with the _________________ and
___________________ [identify filing offices in state], respectively.
This opinion is limited to the matters stated herein and no opinion is
implied or may be inferred beyond the matters stated herein. This opinion is
based on and is limited to the laws of the ______________________, and the
federal laws of the United States of America. Insofar as the foregoing opinion
relates to matters of law other than the foregoing, no opinion is hereby given.
This opinion is for the sole benefit of Lessee, the Guarantor, Bank of America,

Bank, National Association, not individually, but solely as Owner Trustee under

[Owner Trustee's Outside Counsel Opinion]
(Pursuant to Section 6.2(f) of the
Participation Agreement)
__________ __, 1999
TO THOSE ON THE ATTACHED DISTRIBUTION LIST
RE: AMENDED AND RESTATED TRUST AGREEMENT DATED AS OF SEPTEMBER 3, 1999
Dear Sirs:
We have acted as special counsel for First Security Bank, National Association,
a national banking association, in its individual capacity ("FSB") and in its
capacity as trustee (the "Owner Trustee") under the Amended and Restated Trust
Agreement dated as of September 3, 1999 (the "Trust Agreement") by and among it
and the Holders, in connection with the execution and delivery by the Owner
Trustee of the Operative Agreements to which it is a party. Except as otherwise
defined herein, the terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in
Appendix A to the Participation Agreement (Capital One Services, Inc.) dated as
of September 3, 1999 among Capital One Services, Inc., as Lessee and as
Construction Agent, Capital One Financial Corporation, as guarantor (the
"Guarantor"), the Owner Trustee, the various banks and other lending
---------
institutions which are parties thereto from time to time, as holders (the
"Holders"), the various banks and other lending institutions which are parties
-------
thereto from time to time, as lenders (the "Lenders") and Bank of America, N.A.,
as Administrative Agent for the Lenders and respecting the Security Documents,
as Administrative Agent for the Lenders and the Holders, to the extent of their
interests (the "Agent").
-----
We have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our
satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records and other instruments as we
have deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of rendering this opinion.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
1. FSB is a national banking association duly organized, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of United States of America and each of
FSB and the Owner Trustee has under the laws of the State of Utah and
federal banking law the power and authority to enter into and perform its
obligations under the Trust Agreement and each other Operative Agreement to
which it is a party.
2. The Owner Trustee is the duly-appointed trustee under the Trust
Agreement.
3. The Trust Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered
by one of the officers of FSB and, assuming due authorization, execution
and delivery by the Holders, is a legal, valid and binding obligation of
the Owner Trustee (and to the extent set forth therein, against FSB),
enforceable against the Owner Trustee (and to the extent set forth therein,
against FSB) in accordance with its terms, and the Trust Agreement creates
under the laws of the State of Utah for the Holders the beneficial interest
in the COSI Trust Estate it purports to create and is a valid trust under
the laws of the State of Utah.
4. The Operative Agreements to which it is party have been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by FSB, and, assuming due authorization,
execution and delivery by the other parties thereto, are legal, valid and
binding obligations of FSB, enforceable against FSB in accordance with
their respective terms.
5. The Operative Agreements to which it is party have been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by the Owner Trustee, and, assuming due
authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties thereto, are
legal, valid and binding obligations of the Owner Trustee, enforceable
against the Owner Trustee in accordance with their respective terms. The
Notes and the Certificates have been duly issued, executed and delivered by
the Owner Trustee, pursuant to authorization contained in the Trust
Agreement, and the Certificates are entitled to the benefits and security
afforded by the Trust Agreement in accordance with its terms and the terms
of the Trust Agreement.
6. The execution and delivery by each of FSB and the Owner Trustee of the
Trust Agreement and the Operative Agreements to which it is a party, and
compliance by FSB or Owner Trustee, as the case may be, with all of the
provisions thereof do not and will not contravene any Laws applicable to or
binding on FSB, or as Owner Trustee, or contravene the provisions of, or
constitute a default under, its charter documents or by-laws or, to our
knowledge after due inquiry, any indenture, mortgage contract or other
agreement or instrument to which FSB or Owner Trustee is a party or by
which it or any of its property may be bound or affected.
7. The execution and delivery of the Operative Agreements by each of FSB
and the Owner Trustee and the performance by each of FSB and the Owner
Trustee of their respective obligations thereunder does not require on or
prior to the date hereof the consent or approval of, the giving of notice
to, the registration or filing with, or the taking of any action in respect
of any Governmental Authority or any court.
8. Assuming that the trust created by the Trust Agreement is treated as a
grantor trust for federal income tax purposes within the contemplation of
Section 671 through 678 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, there are no
fees, taxes, or other charges (except taxes imposed on fees payable to the
Owner Trustee) payable to the State of Utah or any political subdivision
thereof in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the
Owner Trustee, the Agent, the Lenders, the Lessee or the Holders, as the
case may be, of the
Operative Agreements or in connection with the acquisition of any Property
by the Owner Trustee or in connection with the making by any Holder of its
investment in the Trust or its acquisition of the beneficial interest in
the COSI Trust Estate or in connection with the issuance and acquisition of
the Certificate, or the Notes, and neither the Owner Trustee, the COSI
Trust Estate nor the trust created by the Trust Agreement will be subject
to any fee, tax or other governmental charge (except taxes on fees payable
to the Owner Trustee) under the laws of the State of Utah or any political
subdivision thereof on, based on or measured by, directly or indirectly,
the gross receipts, net income or value of the COSI Trust Estate by reason
of the creation or continued existence of the trust under the terms of the
Trust Agreement pursuant to the laws of the State of Utah or the Owner
Trustee's performance of its duties under the Trust Agreement.
9. There is no fee, tax or other governmental charge under the laws of
the State of Utah or any political subdivision thereof in existence on the
date hereof on, based on or measured by any payments under the
Certificates, Notes or the beneficial interests in the COSI Trust Estate,
by reason of the creation of the trust under the Trust Agreement pursuant
to the laws of the State of Utah or the Owner Trustee's performance of its
duties under the Trust Agreement within the State of Utah.
10. Upon the filing of the financing statement on form UCC-1 in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A with the _____________, the Administrative
Agent's security interest in the COSI Trust Estate, for the benefit of the
Lenders, will be perfected, to the extent that such perfection is governed
by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of
Utah (the "Utah UCC").
Your attention is directed to the Utah UCC, which provides, in part, that a
filed financing statement which does not state a maturity date or which states a
maturity date of more than five years is effective only for a period of five
years from the date of filing, unless within six months prior to the expiration
of said period a continuation statement is filed in the same office or offices
in which the original statement was filed. The continuation statement must be
signed by the secured party, identify the original statement by file number and
state that the original statement is still effective. Upon the timely filing of
a continuation statement, the effectiveness of the original financing statement
is continued for five years after the last date to which the original statement
was effective. Succeeding continuation statements may be filed in the same
manner to continue the effectiveness of the original statement.
The opinions set forth in paragraphs 3 and 4 above are subject to the
qualification that enforceability of the Trust Agreement and the other Operative
Agreements to which the Owner Trustee is a party, in accordance with their
respective terms, may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or similar laws affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally.
We are attorneys admitted to practice in the State of Utah and in rendering the
foregoing opinions we have not passed upon, or purported to pass upon, the laws
of any jurisdictions other than the State of Utah and the federal banking law
governing the banking and trust powers of FSB.
This opinion is for the sole benefit of Capital One Services, Inc., Capital One
Financial Corporation, Bank of America, N.A., as the Administrative Agent, the
Lenders, the Holders, FSB, not individually, but solely as Owner Trustee under
the Capital One Realty Trust 1998-1 and their respective successors and assigns
and may not be relied upon by any other person other than such parties and their
respective successors and assigns without the express written consent of the
undersigned. The opinions expressed herein are as of the date hereof and we
make no undertaking to amend or supplement such opinions if facts come to our
attention or changes in the current law of the jurisdictions mentioned herein
occur which could affect such opinions.
Very truly yours,
RAY, XXXXXXX & XXXXXXX

---------
[Description of Material Litigation]
In connection with the transfer of substantially all of Signet Bank's
credit card business to Capital One Bank in November 1994, Capital One Financial
Corporation and Capital One Bank agreed to indemnify Signet Bank (which has
since been acquired by First Union Bank on November 30, 1997) for certain
liabilities incurred in litigation arising from that business, which may include
liabilities, if any, incurred in the purported class action case described
below.
During 1995, Capital One Financial Corporation and Capital One Bank became
involved in a purported class action suit relating to certain collection
practices engaged in by Signet Bank and, subsequently, by Capital One Bank. The
complaint in this case alleges that Signet Bank and/or Capital One Bank violated
a variety of California state statutes and constitutional and common law duties
by filing collection lawsuits, obtaining judgments and pursuing garnishment
proceedings in the Virginia state courts against defaulted credit card customers
who were not residents of Virginia. This case was filed in the Superior Court
of California in the County of Alameda, Southern Division, on behalf of a class
of California residents. The complaint in this case seeks unspecified statutory
damages, compensatory damages, punitive damages, restitution, attorneys' fees
and costs, a permanent injunction and other equitable relief.
In early 1997, the California court entered judgment in favor of Capital
One Bank on all of the plaintiffs' claims. The plaintiffs appealed the ruling
to the California Court of Appeal First Appellate District Division 4. In early
1999, the Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's ruling in favor of Capital
One Bank on six counts, but reversed the trial court's ruling on two counts of
the plaintiffs' complaint. The California Supreme Court rejected Capital One
Bank's Petition for Review of the remaining two counts and remitted them to the
trial court. The Bank intends to petition for further appellate review of the
ruling on the two remaining counts.
Because no specific measure of damages is demanded in the complaint of the
California case and the trial court entered judgment in favor of Capital One
Bank before the parties completed any significant discovery, an informed
assessment of the ultimate outcome of this case cannot be made at this time.
Management believes, however, that there are meritorious defenses to this
lawsuit and intends to continue to defend it vigorously.
Capital One Financial Corporation is commonly subject to various other
pending and threatened legal actions arising from the conduct of its normal
business activities. In the opinion of management, the ultimate aggregate
liability, if any, arising out of any pending or threatened action will not have
a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of Capital One
Financial Corporation. At the present time, however, management is not in a
position to determine whether the resolution of pending or threatened litigation
will have a material effect on Capital One Financial Corporation's results of
operations in any future reporting period.

[Form of Confidentiality Agreement]
______________, 1999
[Address]
Attention:
Re: Confidentiality Agreement
-------------------------
Dear __________________:
In the course of further discussions between you and Capital One Financial
Corporation and/or any one or more of its subsidiaries or affiliates
(individually and collectively, "Capital One"), you may be supplied with
materials and information concerning Capital One and its subsidiaries or
affiliates and our business, which information is non-public, confidential or
proprietary in nature ("Confidential Information"). Because the use or
disclosure of such Confidential Information would be damaging to Capital One,
Capital One is willing to supply you with such information only if you agree to
the conditions set forth in this confidentiality agreement (this "Agreement").
1. The Transaction. The services you are contemplating providing to
---------------
Capital One are in connection with those certain Participation Agreements dated
as of September 3, 1999 (together, the "Participation Agreement"), among (i)
Capital One Reality, Inc., as Construction Agent and Lessee, Capital One Bank,
as Guarantor, First Security Bank, National Association, as Owner Trustee, the
Holders named therein and the Lenders named therein and (ii) Capital One
Services, Inc., as Construction Agent and Lessee, Capital One Financial
Corporation, as Guarantor, First Security Bank, National Association, as Owner
Trustee, the Holders named therein and the Lenders named therein (the
"Transaction"). Terms used herein but not defined herein have the meanings set
forth in the respective Participation Agreements.
2. Description of Information. Confidential Information includes
--------------------------
without limitation (i) information transmitted in written, oral, magnetic or any
other medium, and (ii) all copies and reproductions, in whole or in part, of
such information and (iii) all summaries, analyses, compilations, studies, notes
or other records which contain, reflect, or are generated from such information.
Confidential Information does not include information that (w) has become part
of the public domain through no act or omission of you; (x) was lawfully
disclosed
J-1
to you without restriction on disclosure by a third party; (y) was developed
independently by you; or (z) is or was lawfully and independently provided to
you prior to disclosure hereunder, from a third party who is not subject to an
obligation of confidentiality or otherwise prohibited from transmitting such
information.
3. Nondisclosure of Information. You agree that you will use the
----------------------------
Confidential Information solely for the purpose of the Transaction and, except
as provided in paragraph 7 hereof, agree to reveal the Confidential Information
only to your affiliates, subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees and agents
(collectively "Affiliates") with a need to know the Confidential Information for
the purpose of the Transaction. Except as provided in paragraph 7 hereof, you
agree not to disclose to any third party any of the Confidential Information now
or hereafter received or obtained by you without our prior written consent;
provided, however, that you may disclose any such Confidential Information to
your respective accountants, attorneys and other confidential advisors
(collectively "Advisors") who need to know such information for the purpose of
assisting you in connection with the Transaction. You agree to be responsible
for any breach of this Agreement by your Affiliates and Advisors, and you agree
that your Affiliates and Advisors will be advised by you of the confidential
nature of such information and shall agree to be bound by this Agreement.
4. Nondisclosure of Transaction. Neither you nor your Agents or
----------------------------
Advisors, without our prior written consent, will disclose to any person the
fact that Confidential Information has been provided to you or them, that
discussions or negotiations are taking place with respect to the Transaction, or
the existence, terms, conditions, or other facts of such Transaction, including
the status thereof.
5. Ownership of Information. You acknowledge and agree that any
------------------------
Confidential Information provided to you, in whatever form, is the sole property
of Capital One. Neither you nor your Affiliates or Advisors shall use any of
the Confidential Information now or hereafter received or obtained from Capital
One in furtherance of your business or the business of anyone else whether or
not in competition with Capital One, or for any other purpose whatsoever, other
than as contemplated by the Transaction. You agree that if we should request
that you destroy or return the Confidential Information, you shall return or
destroy such Confidential Information as so directed.
6. Remedies. You acknowledge that all Confidential Information is
--------
considered to be proprietary and of competitive value, and in many instances
trade secrets. You agree that because of the unique nature of the Confidential
Information any breach of this Agreement would cause Capital One irreparable
harm, and money damages and other remedies available at law in the event of a
breach would not be adequate to compensate Capital One for any such breach.
Accordingly, you agree that we shall be entitled, without the requirement of
posting a bond or other security, to equitable relief, including, without
limitation, injunctive relief and specific performance, as a remedy for any such
breach. Such relief shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, all other
remedies available to us whether at law or in equity.
J-2
7. Compelled Disclosure. If you or any of your Affiliates or
--------------------
Advisors is legally compelled (whether by deposition, interrogatory, request for
documents, subpoena, civil investigation, demand or similar process) to disclose
any of the Confidential Information (including the fact that discussions or
negotiations are taking place with respect to the Transaction) you shall use
your best efforts to notify Capital One in writing of such requirement prior to
disclosure thereof so that we may seek a protective order or other appropriate
remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions hereof; provided, that you
--------
shall not be subject to any liability whatsoever for any failure to so notify
Capital One.
8. No Waiver of Rights. It is understood and agreed that no failure
-------------------
or delay by Capital One in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise
thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
right, power or privilege hereunder.
9. No Representations and Warranties. You understand and acknowledge
---------------------------------
that Capital One is not making any representation or warranty, expressed or
implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information and
we shall not be liable to you or to any other person resulting from the use of
the Confidential Information. Only those representations or warranties that are
made in any definitive agreement executed in connection with the Transaction,
and subject to any limitations and restrictions as may be specified in such
definitive agreement, shall have any legal effect.
10. Indemnification; Expenses. You agree to indemnify Capital One
-------------------------
for any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind (including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses) arising out of, or incurred by us, as
the result of a violation, breach or non-performance by you of any of the terms
of this Agreement.
11. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
-------------
in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, shall be binding
upon you and your successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the
Capital One and its successors and assigns.
12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
------------
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but which together shall
constitute one and the same instrument.

effect as manual signatures.

with the Transaction.
