shall the Agent, in the exercise of the remedies provided in this Security
Agreement (including without limitation in connection with the assignment of
rents to the Agent, or the appointment of a receiver and the entry of such
receiver onto all or any part of the Property), be deemed a "mortgagee in
possession" or a "pledgee in possession", and the Agent shall not in any way be
made liable for any act, either of commission or omission, in connection with
the exercise of such remedies.
8. Performance by the Agent of the Borrower's Obligations.
------------------------------------------------------

agreement. The reasonable expenses of the Agent incurred in connection with
actions undertaken as provided in this Section 8, together with interest thereon
at a rate per annum equal to the Overdue Rate from the date of payment by the
Agent to the date reimbursed by the Borrower, shall be payable by the Borrower
(with funds provided by the Lessee for such purpose in accordance with the terms
of the Operative Agreements) to the Agent on demand and constitutes part of the
Obligations secured hereby.
9. Duty of the Agent.
-----------------
The Agent's sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical
preservation of any Security Assets in its possession, if any, shall be to deal
with it in the same manner as the Agent deals with similar property for its own
account. Neither the Agent nor the Lessor nor any Credit Note Purchaser nor any
Mortgage Lender nor any of their respective directors, officers,
6
employees, shareholders, partners or agents shall be liable for failure to
demand, collect or realize upon any of the Security Assets or for any delay in

------------------------------------------------
(a) It is the intention of the parties hereto that this Security Agreement
as it relates to matters of the grant, perfection and priority of security
interests the subject hereof, shall constitute a security agreement within the
meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the states in which the Security
Assets are located. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then
in addition to having any other right or remedy available at law or in equity,
the Agent may proceed under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code and exercise
such rights and remedies as may be provided to a secured party by such Uniform
Commercial Code with respect to all or any portion of the Security Assets which
is personal property (including without limitation taking possession of and
selling the Property). If the Agent shall elect to proceed under the Uniform
Commercial Code, then ten (10) days' notice of sale of the personal property
shall be deemed reasonable notice and the reasonable expenses of retaking,

continuation statement or certificate or other document as the Agent may request
in order to perfect, preserve, maintain, continue or extend the security
interest under, and the priority of the Liens granted by, this Security
Agreement and such security instrument. The Borrower further agrees to pay to
the Agent (with funds provided by the Lessee for such purpose in accordance with
the terms of the Operative Agreements) on demand all costs and expenses incurred
by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, recording, filing
and re-filing of any such document and all reasonable costs and expenses of any
record searches for financing statements the Agent shall reasonably require. The
filing of any financing or continuation statements in the records relating to
personal property or chattels shall not be construed as in any way impairing the
right of the Agent to proceed against the Property encumbered by this Security
Agreement.
13. Authority of the Agent.
----------------------
The Borrower acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Agent
under this Security Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Agent or

judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising
out of this Security Agreement shall be governed by the Note Purchase Agreement
and Section 8.6 of the Participation Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and
by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time
(until such time as all amounts due and owing to the Secured Parties and the
Agent under the Operative Agreements have been paid in full), but the Agent
shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties
with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and the Borrower
shall be under no obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting
such authority.

waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with
the terms of Section 12.4 of the Participation Agreement.
(b) No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of
the Agent, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Agent of any right or
remedy hereunder on any one (1) occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any
right or remedy which the Agent would otherwise have on any future occasion.

exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or
remedies provided by law.
17. Section Headings.

Borrower agrees that the Borrower will not at any time insist upon, plead, claim
or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing
for any appraisement, valuation, stay, exemption, extension or redemption, or
requiring foreclosure
9
of this Security Agreement before exercising any other remedy granted hereunder
and the Borrower, for the Borrower and its successors and assigns, and for any
and all Persons ever claiming any interest in the Security Assets, to the extent
permitted by law, hereby waives and releases all rights of redemption,
valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of election to mature or

Further, the Agent shall execute and deliver to the Borrower such documents and
instruments as may be required to release the Lien and security interest created

other matters provided for in Section 8.5 of the Participation Agreement.

(a) This Security Agreement is one (1) of the documents which create Liens
and security interests that secure payment and performance of the Obligations.
The Agent, at its election, may commence or consolidate in a single action all

remedies hereunder based on any action being prosecuted or any judgment entered
with respect to the Obligations or any Liens or security interests that secure
payment and performance of the Obligations and (ii) any objections to the
commencement of, continuation of, or entry of a judgment in any such other

the terms of the Participation Agreement shall govern.
25. LESSEE AS A PARTY.

(a) LESSEE HAS EXECUTED THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT TO EVIDENCE THE AGREEMENT
OF THE LESSEE TO THE TERMS OF THE SECURITY AGREEMENT (INCLUDING SECTIONS 5(D)
AND 11) AND FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUBJECTING TO THE SECURITY INTEREST AND LIEN
GRANTED HEREUNDER ALL OF ITS RIGHT, TITLE AND INTEREST, IF ANY, IN AND TO THE
SECURITY ASSETS TO SECURE THE PROMPT PAYMENT IN FULL OF ALL AMOUNTS OWING BY THE
LESSEE FROM TIME TO TIME AND THE PERFORMANCE OF ALL OBLIGATIONS OF THE LESSEE TO
THE SECURED PARTIES UNDER THE OPERATIVE AGREEMENTS IN THE EVENT THAT A COURT,
WHEN ENFORCING THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT FOLLOWING THE OCCURRENCE AND CONTINUANCE
OF A LEASE EVENT OF DEFAULT, DETERMINES THAT THE LESSEE'S INTEREST IN THE
PROPERTY IS NOT A LEASEHOLD INTEREST, BUT THAT THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY
THE LEASE SHALL BE TREATED AS A SECURED BORROWING. TO EFFECT THE FOREGOING,
LESSEE HEREBY GRANTS TO THE AGENT (FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE SECURED PARTIES) A
SECURITY INTEREST IN AND TO ALL OF ITS RIGHT, TITLE AND INTEREST, IF ANY, IN AND

DETERMINED TO HAVE ANY RIGHT, TITLE OR INTEREST THEREIN AND WITHOUT REGARD TO
ANY LANGUAGE IN SECTION 2 OR THE DEFINITION OF "SECURITY ASSETS" OR ANY
DEFINITION OF ANY ITEM CONSTITUTING THE SECURITY ASSETS WHICH OTHERWISE WOULD
LIMIT THE SECURITY ASSETS TO THE RIGHT, TITLE AND INTEREST OF THE BORROWER
THEREIN), TO SECURE THE PROMPT PAYMENT IN FULL OF ALL AMOUNTS OWING BY THE
LESSEE FROM TIME TO TIME AND THE PERFORMANCE OF ALL OBLIGATIONS OF THE LESSEE TO
THE SECURED PARTIES UNDER THE OPERATIVE AGREEMENTS. LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND
AGREES THAT, UPON THE OCCURRENCE AND CONTINUANCE OF A LEASE EVENT OF DEFAULT,
THE AGENT SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO EXERCISE ANY OR ALL OF ITS REMEDIES HEREUNDER
AS AGAINST ANY SUCH RIGHT, TITLE OR INTEREST OF LESSEE IN OR TO THE SECURITY
