hereby designates Lessee as its agent, and Lessee hereby accepts such
appointment, to design, acquire, construct, rehabilitate and install the Project
strictly in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the
other Operative Documents and to cause the Work to be performed. Lessee shall
have no authority to act for or on behalf of Lessor except with respect to the
design, acquisition, construction, rehabilitation and installation of the
Project and performance of the Work. The acceptance by Lessee on behalf of
Lessor of any property or any contractual obligation with respect to which
Lessee does not have authority to act on behalf of Lessor as described in this
Agreement shall be ineffective, AB INITIO, to create in or transfer to Lessor
any legal or beneficial right or interest in such property or any contractual
obligation or to impose on Lessor any liability, obligation or responsibility
with respect thereto. Lessee shall cause any agreement, contract, purchase
order, or other writing purporting to be binding upon Lessor to refer to Lessee
as agent for Lessor. The authority of Lessee hereunder shall terminate on the
earliest to occur of (i) final completion of all of the Work in accordance with
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (ii) the expiration or termination
of the Lease, or (iii) upon written notice by Lessor to Lessee that it
terminates such authority because of the occurrence of an Event of Default. The
termination of Lessee's authority hereunder shall not discharge Lessee or limit
in any way Lessee's liability hereunder with respect to obligations arising out
of this Agreement and Lessee's performance hereunder prior to the date of such
termination of Lessee's authority including, without limitation, with respect to
Lessee's indemnification of the Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 2.3 and
Section 8.18, or with respect to Lessee's obligations under Section 11.9.
2.2 PERFORMANCE OF AND PAYMENT FOR THE WORK. Lessee shall undertake to
perform the Work in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement including,
without limitation, the provisions of Article 8, and, subject to the provisions
hereof, shall pay for the Cost of the Project and shall cause the Work to be
Substantially Complete by the Completion Date. Lessee shall pay or cause to be
paid the Cost of the Project using (a) the proceeds of the Initial Advance and
(b) the proceeds of Additional Advances. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Lessee shall be solely responsible for payment of 85% of such
Additional Excess Costs and Lessor shall be responsible for 15% of such
Additional Excess Costs provided, however, that under no circumstances shall
Lessor be required to advance more than its Maximum Reimbursement Amount.
Subject to the foregoing sentence, if, for any reason, the sum of the Initial
Advance and the Additional Advances are insufficient to pay all costs of Lessee
set forth
11
-7-
in this Agreement with respect to the Work, Lessee shall, nonetheless, be bound
and required to fulfill its obligations hereunder, and, under no circumstances,
shall the insufficiency of the funds available to Lessee reduce or release
Lessee from any of its obligations hereunder. In the event that the
insufficiency of funds available to Lessee cause Lessee to be unable to fulfill
its obligations hereunder, such inability shall be an Event of Default
hereunder. Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee for failure or delay in any
aspect of the performance of the Work. Upon delivery, installation, testing or
completion of construction of any aspect of the Work, as appropriate, Lessee
shall inspect such aspect of the Work, and as between Lessor and Lessee, Lessee
shall be deemed (i) to have accepted such aspect of the Work under the Lease,
and (ii) to have agreed that such aspect of the Work is satisfactory to Lessee
in all respects and suitable for its purposes. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, from time to time at Lessor's request and in any event at such
time as the Project is Substantially Complete, Lessee shall execute and deliver
an instrument confirming Lessee's acceptance of the Project or any appropriate
portion thereof.
2.3 REPORTS. Not later than the 20th day of each month immediately
following any month during which expenditures have been made or incurred by
Lessee on account of the Cost of the Project during the term of this Agreement,
Lessee shall provide a written report to Lessor and Beneficiary setting forth
(a) all expenditures made or incurred by Lessee on account of the Cost of the
Project during the previous month and (b) the total Cost of the Project as of
the last day of the previous month. Additionally, Lessee shall provide to Lessor
and Beneficiary such additional reports and information either such party may
reasonably request from time to time relating to the transactions contemplated
hereby.

8.14 COMPLETION DATE. All Work shall be Substantially Complete no
later than December 31, 1999, unless extended pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 8.14 (such date as it may be so extended, the Completion Date). So long
as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in the
event that Lessee determines that the Work will not be Substantially Complete on
or before December 31, 1999, then upon the written request of Lessee given to
Lessor no later than November 30, 1999, accompanied by a certificate of an
independent consultant selected by Lessor to the effect that the Work can be
Substantially Complete no later than March 31, 2000 and with Lessor's consent,
except if such request is made solely as a result of Force Majeure in which case
Lessor's consent shall not be required, the Completion Date shall be extended
for a reasonable period of time designated by Lessee but no later than March 31,
2000. The cost of obtaining the consultant's certificate shall be borne by

effect that the Work has been performed substantially in accordance with the
Approved Plans, and (vii) a final Title Policy in favor of Lessor, all

reveals a need for additional review, Lessee, at its sole cost and expense
(which may be treated by Lessee as a Cost of the Project), shall provide such
additional environmental site assessment reports as are required by Lessor. The
results of all such environmental site assessment reports must be satisfactory
to Lessor and Beneficiary. Lessee shall make reasonable efforts to complete all
"punchlist" items within 60 days after the Completion Date and in any event as
soon as possible thereafter. Lessee shall obtain a final certificate of
occupancy within 60 days after the Completion Date. No Change Order shall be
deemed to extend the Completion Date, nor shall the implementation of any Change
Order constitute evidence of any party's consent to such extension, unless
Lessor and Lessee have expressly agreed that the Completion Date is so extended.
25
-21-
8.15 CHANGE ORDERS. Except as otherwise specifically set forth herein,
without invalidating this Agreement, Lessee may order changes in the Work (each,
a Change Order) and the Construction Contract within the general scope of this
Agreement consisting of additions, deletions or other revisions which Lessee
deems necessary or desirable based on the topography or configuration of the
Leased Property, local zoning requirements, the location of adjacent buildings,
the intended use of the Leased Property or similar matters, and which do not
materially adversely affect the soundness, structural integrity, value, utility,
operation or useful life of the Project. All such changes in the Work shall be
performed under the applicable conditions of this Agreement. However, Lessee
shall obtain prior written approval from Lessor with respect to any other Change
Orders. On or before the Completion Date, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor copies
of all supplements to, and amendments and modifications of, the Approved Plans
reflecting all changes in the Work since the Closing Date.

instructions may be given only by an Authorized Representative or such other
person as Lessor may designate by written notice to Lessee.
8.17 INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR STATUS. Lessee recognizes that despite its
designation as Lessor's agent hereunder, it is engaged as an independent
contractor hereunder and acknowledges that Lessor will have no responsibility to
provide any benefits normally associated with employee status. Lessee, in
accordance with its status as an independent contractor, covenants and agrees
that it will conduct itself in a manner consistent with such status, that it
will neither hold itself out as, nor claim to be an officer, director, partner
or employee of Lessor by reason hereof, and that it will not by reason hereof
make any claim, demand or application to or for any right or privilege
applicable to an officer, director, partner or employee of Lessor.
8.18 INDEMNIFICATION. Lessee hereby assumes all liability for its
services and the Work to be performed hereunder including payment of all fees
for permits, studies and variances, whether performed by Lessee, by any
contractor or subcontractor or any other entity performing the Work directly or
indirectly for or under Lessee or any other contractor or subcontractor (each a
Contractor) and shall protect, defend and indemnify the Indemnified Parties and
hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from any and all liabilities, losses,
damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses of
counsel selected by Lessee and approved by Lessor and Beneficiary and of one
separate counsel selected by any Indemnified Party if an Event of Default shall
occur and be continuing unless in the reasonable judgment of such Indemnified
Party separate counsel is required by reason of differing interests of the
parties), fines, penalties, suits and causes of action, including, without
limitation, court costs and any other out-of-pocket costs of litigation related
thereto or to this Agreement (the foregoing collectively, Losses), arising out
of the performance of the Work, any contract relating to the Work (a Contract),
ownership of the Leased Property, the occurrence of an Event of Default or
breach of this Agreement by Lessee except with respect to each Indemnified Party
to the extent that such Losses are caused by
26
-22-
such Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct. In any and all
claims against any Indemnified Party by any employee of Lessee, any Contractor,
any subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or
anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable, the indemnification obligation
under this Section 8.18 shall not be limited in any way by any limitation on the
amount or type of damages, compensation or benefits payable by or for Lessee or
any subcontractor under workers' compensation acts, disability benefit acts or
other employee benefit acts. Lessee shall promptly remedy damage or loss to any
property referred to herein caused in whole or in part by Lessee, any Contractor
or anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them, or by anyone for whose
acts any of them is liable or for which Lessee is responsible hereunder.
8.19 REMOVAL OF LIENS. If any notices of contract, statements of claim
with respect to unpaid costs for the performance of the Work or mechanics' or
materialmen's liens (collectively, Liens) are filed against the Leased Property,
or any portion thereof, by any Contractor or any agent of Lessee or any
Contractor with respect to the Work, subject to Lessee's rights pursuant to
paragraph (d) of Article 6 of the Lease, Lessee agrees within 60 days after
Lessee has actual knowledge of any such Liens to cause such Liens to be removed
or bonded against at its sole cost and expense as of such date, and Lessee's
failure to do so shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement,
entitling Lessor to exercise all of its rights and
remedies provided hereunder, at law or in equity. In such event, Lessee agrees
to defend (with counsel reasonably approved by Lessor), indemnify and hold
harmless the Indemnified Parties from any Losses sustained by any of them as a
result of the filing of such Liens.
8.20 CORRECTION OF WORK. Lessee warrants to Lessor that all materials
shall be new and of good quality and all Work shall be of good and workmanlike
quality, free from faults and defects and in conformity with the requirements of
the Approved Plans and as set forth in this Agreement. Lessee shall, at its sole
cost and expense, promptly correct any portion of the Work not in substantial
conformity with the Approved Plans and this Agreement and requested by Lessor
whether observed before or after the Completion Date, provided Lessor serves
written notice of the existence of such non-conformity within one year after the
Completion Date. Lessee shall bear all costs of correcting such rejected Work
after receipt of a written notice from Lessor to do so. This obligation shall
survive termination of this Agreement. Lessee shall remove, in a manner which at
all times complies with all applicable Environmental Laws, from the Leased
Property all portions of the Work that are materially defective or
non-conforming and which have not been corrected under this Section 8.20 unless
removal is waived by Lessor in writing. Nothing contained in this Section 8.20
shall be construed to establish a period of limitation with respect to any other
obligation of Lessee under this Agreement.
8.21 NOTICE OF DELAY. Lessee shall give Lessor prompt written notice
of any incident of Force Majeure, commencement of any litigation, or other
interruption of the construction of
27
-23-
the Project or which may materially interfere with its ability to complete the
Project by the Completion Date.
8.22 INSURANCE; DAMAGE. Lessee will obtain or cause General Contractor
to obtain policies of insurance satisfying the requirements of Article 13 of the
Lease.
If at any time prior to the Completion Date, the Project, or any
portion thereof, shall be condemned or taken in the exercise of the power of
eminent domain by any sovereign, municipality or other public or private
authority or shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Lessee
shall determine in its reasonable good faith judgment whether the Work can be
Substantially Complete by the Completion Date. In reaching such determination,
Lessee shall use such experts as Lessee shall deem necessary or desirable. If
Lessee so determines that, on account of such condemnation, damage or
destruction, the Work cannot be Substantially Complete by the Completion Date,
then the provisions of paragraph (c) of Article 12 of the Lease shall apply. If
Lessee determines that the Work can be Substantially Complete by the Completion
Date, then Lessee shall remain obligated to perform and shall perform the Work
in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the Net Award
(as defined in the Lease) shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of
the Lease. If a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
hereunder, Lessor shall retain the Net Award to be applied to effect compliance
with Lessee's obligations hereunder.
ARTICLE 9
FAILURE TO COMPLETE
-------------------
In the event Lessee shall fail to Substantially Complete the Work by
the Completion Date, the provisions of Section 17 of the Lease shall apply.
ARTICLE 10
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

hereunder and such default continues for five days after notice of default; or
(b) If, as of the time when the same shall have been made or
repeated, any representation or warranty of Lessee set forth herein or in any
consent, notice, certificate,
