Permitted Investments to the respective Accounts. The amount of actual losses

deposited in the above-referenced Sub-Accounts shall be held, and may be drawn
upon, by Lender in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 6.8 of
the Loan Agreement, subject to Section 7.3 of the Loan Agreement.
Section 3.2 Additional Deposits. Borrower shall make such
-------------------
additional deposits into the Accounts as may be required by the Loan Agreement.
Section 3.3 Allocation of Funds from the Central Account.
--------------------------------------------
(a) At any time other than after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, Agent shall allocate all available funds on
deposit and interest earned thereon in the Central Account on each Business Day
of each Interest Accrual Period in the following amounts and order of priority:
(i) First, to the Impositions and Insurance Reserve
Sub-Account, until funds have been allocated to such Sub-Account in such
Interest Accrual Period in an amount equal to the Monthly Impositions and
Insurance Amount for the next Monthly Payment Date;
(ii) Second, to the Debt Service Payment Sub-Account, until
such Sub-Account contains funds necessary to pay the Monthly Debt Service
Payment Amount under the Loan for the next Monthly Payment Date;
(iii) Third, to the Debt Service Reserve Sub-Account, until
the amount, if any, deducted therefrom during any preceding Interest
Accrual Period which has not previously been reimbursed to such Sub-Account
has been allocated to such Sub-Account;
(iv) Fourth, if Borrower is then required to make monthly
payments therein pursuant to Section 6.5 of the Loan Agreement, to the
Replacement Reserve Sub-Account, until funds have been allocated to such
Sub-Account in such Interest Accrual Period in an amount equal to the
Monthly Replacement Reserve Amount for the next Monthly Payment Date;
12
(v) Fifth, if a Cash Flow Sweep Event has occurred and is
continuing, any amounts remaining in the Central Account after deposits for
items (i) through (iv) above shall be deposited in the Cash Flow Sweep
Sub-Account; and
(vi) Sixth, if no Cash Flow Sweep Event has occurred and is
continuing, all amounts remaining in the Central Account after allocation
for items (i) through (iv) above shall be paid to Borrower.
(b) If there are insufficient funds in the Central Account for
the deposits required by Sections 3.3(a)(i) through (iv) above on or before the
Monthly Payment Date when due, Borrower shall deposit such deficiency into the
Central Account on or before such Monthly Payment Date. The deposit by Borrower
of any such deficiency pursuant to this Section 3.3(b) shall satisfy the
obligation of Borrower to make the related deposit under the Loan Agreement. In
the event Borrower shall fail to deposit such deficiency on or before the
applicable Monthly Payment Date, such failure shall constitute an Event of
Default.
(c) If, on any Monthly Payment Date, the aggregate balance in the
Central Account (excluding funds allocated to any Sub-Account other than funds
allocated to the Debt Service Payment Sub-Account or the Impositions and
Insurance Reserve Sub-Account) is insufficient to pay the deposits required by
Sections 3.3(a)(i) and (ii) above, then Lender may withdraw funds and pay such
deficiency from the Debt Service Reserve Sub-Account (or in the event that
Borrower has delivered a Letter of Credit in lieu of depositing funds into the
Debt Service Reserve Sub-Account pursuant to Section 6.8 of the Loan Agreement,
Lender may draw on such Letter of Credit to pay such deficiency). In the event
there are insufficient funds in the Debt Service Reserve Sub-Account to pay such
shortfall, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) withdraw funds from any
other Sub-Account in lieu of depositing funds in such Sub-Account in such order
of priority as Lender determines in Lender's sole discretion (in each case to
the extent funds are available in each such Sub-Account).
In the event that Lender applies the proceeds of the Debt Service
Reserve Sub-Account or elects to apply the proceeds of any other Sub-Account to
pay the deposits required by Sections 3.3(a)(i) and (ii) above, Borrower shall,
upon demand, repay to Lender the amount of such applied funds to replenish such
Sub-Account(s). If Borrower shall fail to repay such amounts within two (2)
Business Days after such demand, such failure shall constitute an Event of
Default.
(d) Upon the expiration of a Cash Flow Sweep Event in accordance
with Section 2.6(D) of the Loan Agreement, any funds remaining in the Cash Flow
Sweep Sub-Account shall be returned to Borrower pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(vi)
provided that no Event of Default then exists.
(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (except as
otherwise provided in Section 7.3 of the Loan Agreement), upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all funds on deposit in the
Central Account and/or the Sub-Accounts shall be disbursed to or as directed by
Lender.
13
(f) Any funds released or distributed to Borrower in accordance
with Section 3.3(a)(vi) above shall be received by Borrower free and clear of
any lien or security interest of Lender hereunder and Borrower may pay or
distribute any such funds to its Affiliates as it deems appropriate.

respect to any Account or Sub-Account except with the prior written consent of
Lender. Agent shall have the right and agrees to comply with the instructions of
Lender with respect to the Accounts without the further consent of Borrower.
Agent shall comply with all "entitlement orders" (as defined in Section
8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) and instructions originated by Lender without further
consent by Borrower or any other Person.
V. PLEDGE OF ACCOUNTS
Section 5.1 Security for Obligations. (a) To secure the full and
------------------------
punctual payment and performance of all Obligations of Borrower under the Loan
Agreement, the Note, the Mortgages, this Agreement and all other Loan Documents,
Borrower hereby grants to Lender a first priority continuing security interest
in and to the following property of Borrower, whether now owned or existing or
hereafter acquired or arising and regardless of where located (all of the same,
collectively, the "Collateral"):
----------
(i) the Accounts and all cash, checks, drafts,
certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time deposited or
held in the Accounts, including, without limitation, all deposits or
wire transfers made to the Accounts;
(ii) any and all amounts invested in Permitted
Investments;
(iii) all interest, dividends, cash, instruments and
other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise
payable in respect of, or in exchange for, any or all of the foregoing;
and
(iv) to the extent not covered by clause (i), (ii) or
(iii) above, all "proceeds" (as defined under the Uniform Commercial
Code as in effect in the State of New York (the "UCC")) of any or all
---
of the foregoing.
(b) Lender and Agent, as agent for Lender, shall have with
respect to the Collateral, in addition to the rights and remedies herein set
forth, all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party under the
UCC, as if such rights and remedies were fully set forth herein.
Section 5.2 Rights on Default. Upon the occurrence and during the
-----------------
continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall promptly notify Agent of such
Event of Default and, without notice from Agent or Lender, (a) Borrower shall
have no further right in respect of (including, without limitation, the right to
instruct Lender or Agent to transfer from) the Accounts, (b) Lender may direct
Agent to liquidate and transfer any amounts then invested in Permitted
Investments to the Accounts or reinvest such amounts in other Permitted
Investments as Lender may reasonably determine is necessary to perfect or
protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to
enable Agent, as agent for Lender, or Lender to exercise and enforce Lender's
rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral, and (c) Lender may
apply any Collateral to any Obligations in such order of priority as Lender may
determine. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the proceeds
of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may be applied by
Lender to the payment of the Debt in
15
such priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem
proper. Upon the curing of any Event of Default, Lender shall promptly notify
Agent thereof.
Section 5.3 Financing Statement; Further Assurances.
---------------------------------------
Simultaneously herewith, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender for filing
a financing statement or statements in connection with the Collateral in the
form required by Lender to properly perfect Lender's security interest therein
to the extent a security interest in the Collateral may also be perfected by
filing. Borrower agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense
of Borrower, Borrower will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments
and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable,
or that Agent or Lender may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect
any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby (including,
without limitation, any security interest in and to any Permitted Investments)
or to enable Agent or Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies
hereunder with respect to any Collateral. In the event of any change in name,
identity or structure of Borrower, Borrower shall notify Lender thereof and
promptly after Lender's request shall execute, file and record such UCC
financing statements (if any) as are necessary to maintain the priority of
Lender's lien upon and security interest in the Collateral, and shall pay all
reasonable expenses and fees in connection with the filing and recording
thereof. If Lender shall require the filing or recording of additional UCC
financing or continuation statements, Borrower shall, promptly after request,
execute, file and record such UCC financing or continuation statements as Lender
shall deem necessary, and shall pay all reasonable expenses and fees in
connection with the filing and recording thereof.
Section 5.4 Termination of Agreement. This Agreement shall create
------------------------
a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force
and effect until payment in full of the Obligations. Upon payment and
performance in full of the Obligations, this Agreement shall terminate and
Borrower shall be entitled to the return, upon their request and at their
expense, of such of the Collateral as shall not have been previously sold or
otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and Agent and/or Lender shall
execute such instruments and documents as may be reasonably requested by
Borrower to evidence such termination and the release of the lien hereof
including, without limitation, letters to Lessee (and any other Tenant then
paying rent under its Lease to the Central Account hereunder) prepared by
Borrower and reasonably acceptable to Lender rescinding the instructions set
forth in the Tenant Direction Letters and UCC-3 termination statements.
VI. RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF LENDER AND AGENT
Section 6.1 Reasonable Care. Beyond the exercise of reasonable
---------------
care in the custody thereof or as otherwise expressly provided herein, neither
Agent nor Lender shall have any duty as to any Collateral in its possession or
control as agent therefor or bailee thereof or any income thereon or the
preservation of rights against any Person or otherwise with respect thereto.
Agent and Lender each shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the
custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral
is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Agent or Lender accords
its own property, it being understood that neither Agent nor Lender shall be
liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Collateral, or for
any diminution in value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of Agent or
Lender, or their Affiliates, agents, employees or bailees, except that Agent or
Lender shall be
16
responsible for loss or damage to the extent same results from such party's
gross negligence or willful misconduct, provided that nothing in this Article VI
or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to relieve Agent from the duties
and standard of care which, as a commercial bank, it generally owes to
depositors or to require Borrower to indemnify Agent with respect to Agent's
failure to observe such duties and standard of care. Neither Lender nor Agent
shall have any liability for any loss resulting from the investment of funds in
Permitted Investments in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.
Section 6.2 Indemnity. Agent, in its capacity as agent hereunder,
---------
shall be responsible for the performance only of such duties as are specifically
set forth herein, and no duty shall be implied from any provision hereof. Agent
shall not be under any obligation or duty to perform any act which would involve
it in expense or liability or to institute or defend any suit in respect hereof,
or to advance any of its own monies. Borrower shall indemnify and hold Agent and
Lender, their respective employees and officers harmless from and against any
loss, liability, cost or damage (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by Agent or Lender in connection
with the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent that such loss
or damage results from Agent's or Lender's gross negligence or willful
misconduct. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the resignation and removal of Agent.
Section 6.3 Reliance. Agent shall be protected in acting upon any
--------
notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond
or other paper, document or signature believed by it to be genuine, and it may
be assumed that any person purporting to act on behalf of any Person giving any
of the foregoing in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly
authorized to do so. Agent may consult with legal counsel, and the advice or
opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection
in respect of any action taken or suffered by it hereunder and in good faith in
accordance therewith. Agent shall not be liable for any act or omission done or
omitted to be done by Agent in reliance upon any instruction, direction or
certification received by Agent and without gross negligence or willful or
reckless misconduct. Agent shall be entitled to execute any of the powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or through agents or
attorneys; provided, however, that the execution of such powers by any such
agents or attorneys shall not diminish, or relieve Agent for, responsibility
therefor to the same degree as if Agent itself had executed such powers.
Section 6.4 Resignation of Agent.
--------------------
(a) Agent shall have the right to resign as Agent hereunder upon
sixty (60) days' prior written notice to Borrower and Lender, and in the event
of such resignation, Lender shall appoint a successor Agent which must be an
Eligible Bank. No such resignation by Agent shall become effective until a
successor Agent shall have accepted such appointment and executed an instrument
by which it shall have assumed all of the rights and obligations of Agent
hereunder. If no such successor Agent is appointed within sixty (60) days after
receipt of the resigning Agent's notice of resignation, the resigning Agent may
petition a court for the appointment of a successor Agent.
(b) In connection with any resignation by or substitution of
Agent, (i) the resigning or removed Agent shall, (A) duly assign, transfer and
deliver to the successor Agent
17
this Agreement and all cash and Permitted Investments held by it hereunder, (B)
execute such financing statements and other instruments prepared by Borrower and
approved by Lender or prepared by Lender as may be necessary to assign to the
successor Agent, as agent for Lender, any security interest in the Collateral
existing in favor of the retiring Agent hereunder and to otherwise give effect
to such succession and (C) take such other actions as may be reasonably required
by Lender or the successor Agent in connection with the foregoing and (ii) the
successor Agent shall establish in Lender's name, as secured party, cash
collateral accounts, which shall become the Accounts for purposes of this
Agreement upon the succession of such Agent, and which Accounts shall also be
"securities accounts" within the meaning of the UCC.
(c) Lender at its sole discretion shall have the right, upon
thirty (30) days notice to Agent, to substitute Agent with a successor Agent
that satisfies the requirements of an Eligible Bank or to have one or more of
the Accounts held by another Eligible Bank, provided that such successor Agent
shall perform the duties of Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
Section 6.5 Lender Appointed Attorney-In-Fact. Borrower hereby
---------------------------------
irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender as Borrower's true and lawful
attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest and with full power of substitution,
to execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments required under this
Agreement and to exercise and enforce every right, power, remedy, option and
privilege of Borrower with respect to the Collateral, and do in the name, place
and stead of Borrower, all such acts, things and deeds for and on behalf of and
in the name of Borrower, which Borrower is required to do hereunder or which
Agent or Lender may deem necessary or desirable to more fully vest in Lender the
rights and remedies provided for herein and to accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement including, without limitation, the filing of any UCC financing
statements or continuation statements in appropriate public filing offices on
behalf of Borrower, in any of the foregoing cases, upon Borrower's failure to
take any of the foregoing actions within five (5) Business Days after notice
from Lender. The foregoing powers of attorney are irrevocable and coupled with
an interest. If Borrower fails to perform any agreement herein contained and
such failure shall continue for five (5) Business Days after notice of such
failure is given to Borrower, Lender may perform or cause performance of any
such agreement, and any reasonable expenses of Lender and Agent in connection
therewith shall be paid by Borrower.
Section 6.6 Acknowledgment of Lien/Offset Rights. Agent hereby

acknowledges and agrees that (a) the Accounts shall be held by Agent in the name
of Lender, (b) all funds held in the Accounts shall be held for the benefit of
Lender, (c) Borrower has granted to Lender a first priority security interest in
the Collateral, (d) Agent shall not disburse any funds from the Accounts except
as provided herein, and (e) Agent shall invest and reinvest any balance of the
Accounts in Permitted Investments in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof. Agent
hereby waives any right of offset, banker's lien or similar rights against, or
any assignment, security interest or other interest in, the Collateral.
Section 6.7 Reporting Procedures. Agent shall provide Borrower
--------------------
and Lender with a record of all checks, wire transfers and any other items
deposited to the Central Account or processed for collection. Agent shall send a
daily credit advice to Borrower, which credit advice shall specify the amount of
each receipt deposited into each Account on such date. The
18
Agent shall send a monthly report to Borrower and Lender, which shall be in form
and detail reasonably acceptable to Borrower and Lender and which shall include
the credits and charges to the Accounts for the previous calendar month. In
addition to the reports and information to be provided to Borrower and Lender
above, Agent shall also send a monthly report to Lessee which shall include the
credits and charges to the Lessee Reserve Accounts for the previous calendar
month. Agent shall, at the request of Lender, establish Lender and its
designated Servicer as users of Agent's electronic data transfer system in
accordance with Agent's standard procedures. Upon request of Lender or its
designated Servicer, (i) Agent shall send to Lender or its designated Servicer,
as applicable, either (x) copies of the daily credit advices and any other
advices or reports furnished by Agent to Borrower hereunder or (y) information
on Account balances, to the extent said balances in the Accounts have changed

facsimile transmission on a daily basis, and (ii) Agent shall advise Lender or
its designated Servicer, as applicable, of the amount of available funds in the

designated Servicer shall reasonably request. In the event Agent shall resign or
be replaced as Agent hereunder, Agent shall provide Borrower and Lender with a
final written accounting, including closing statements, with respect to the
Accounts, and shall provide Lessee with a final accounting, including closing
statements, with respect to the Lessee Reserve Accounts, within thirty (30) days

VIII. MISCELLANEOUS
Section 8.1 Transfers and Other Liens. Borrower agrees that it
-------------------------
will not (i) sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral or (ii) create
or permit to exist any Lien upon or with respect to all or any of the
Collateral, except for the Lien granted under this Agreement.
Section 8.2 Lender's Right to Perform Borrower's Obligations; No
----------------------------------------------------
Liability of Lender. If Borrower fails to perform any of the covenants or
-------------------
obligations contained herein, and such failure shall continue for a period five
(5) Business Days after Borrower's receipt of written notice thereof from
Lender, Lender may itself perform, or cause performance of, such covenants or
obligations, and the reasonable expenses of Lender incurred in connection
therewith shall be payable by Borrower to Lender. Notwithstanding Lender's right
to perform certain obligations of Borrower, it is acknowledged and agreed that
Borrower retains control of the Properties and notwithstanding anything
contained herein or Agent's or Lender's exercise of any of its rights or
remedies hereunder, under the Loan Documents or otherwise at law or in equity,
neither Agent nor Lender shall be deemed to be a mortgagee-in-possession of any
Property nor shall Lender be subject to any liability with respect to any
Property or otherwise based upon any claim of lender liability except as a
result of Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Section 8.3 No Waiver. The rights and remedies provided in this
---------
Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and may be exercised
independently or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any other right or
remedy provided at law or in equity. No failure to exercise or delay by Agent or
Lender in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or under the Loan Documents
shall impair or prohibit the exercise of any such rights or remedies in the
future or be deemed to constitute a waiver or limitation of any such right or
remedy or acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy granted to Agent and/or
Lender hereunder or by law may be exercised by Agent and/or Lender at any time
and from time to time, and as often as Agent and/or Lender may deem it
expedient. Any and all of Agent's and/or Lender's rights with respect to the
liens and security interests granted hereunder shall continue unimpaired, and
Borrower shall be and remain obligated in accordance with the terms hereof,
notwithstanding (a) any proceeding of Borrower under the Federal Bankruptcy Code
or any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization laws or statutes of any state,
(b) the release or substitution of Collateral at any time, or of any rights or
interests therein or (c) any delay, extension of time, renewal, compromise or
other indulgence granted by the Agent and/or Lender in the event of any default,
with respect to the Collateral or otherwise hereunder. No delay or extension of
time by Agent and/or Lender in exercising any power of sale, option or other
right or remedy hereunder, and no notice or demand which may be given to or made
upon Borrower by Agent and/or Lender, shall constitute a waiver thereof, or
limit, impair or prejudice Agent's and/or Lender's right, without notice or
demand, to take any action against Borrower or to exercise any other power of
sale, option or any other right or remedy. No waiver of any term or condition of
this Agreement, whether by delay, omission or otherwise, shall be effective
unless in writing and signed by the party sought to be charged, and then such
waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for
which given.
Section 8.4 Expenses. The Collateral shall secure, and Borrower
--------
shall pay to Agent and Lender on demand, from time to time, all reasonable costs

the fees and charges payable for such month, including, but not limited to
reasonable fees and reasonable expenses incurred in connection with this
Agreement and be accompanied by reasonably detailed supporting documentation.
