perfect and/or preserve Trustee/Collateral Agent's security interest hereunder.
Borrower shall promptly notify Trustee/Collateral Agent if Borrower (a)
re-domesticates to another state, (b) moves its chief executive office to
another state, (c) changes its name or (d) is merged into another entity. For
purposes of such filings, Borrower agrees to furnish any information requested

insurance (without exclusion for explosion) covering all boilers

cost and expense.
(c) Borrower shall comply with all insurance requirements and shall not
bring or keep or permit to be brought or kept any article upon any of the
Property or cause or permit any condition to exist thereon which would be
prohibited by an insurance requirement, or would invalidate the insurance
coverage required hereunder to be maintained by Borrower on or with respect to
any part of the Property pursuant to this Section 4.3.
(d) In the event of a foreclosure of the Security Instrument or other
transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the
Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies then in
force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall
thereupon vest in Trustee/Collateral Agent or the purchaser at such foreclosure
or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
10
Section 4.4 Payment of Taxes, etc.
---------------------
(a) Borrower shall promptly pay by their due date all taxes, assessments,
water rates, sewer rents and other governmental impositions, including, without
limitation, vault charges and license fees for the use of vaults, chutes and
similar areas adjoining the Land, now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed
against the Property or any part thereof (the "Taxes") not paid from the Escrow
Fund (defined in Section 4.5), all ground rents, maintenance charges and similar
charges, now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or
any part thereof (the "Other Charges"), and all charges for utility services
provided to the Property as same become due and payable. Borrower will deliver
to Trustee/Collateral Agent, promptly upon Trustee/Collateral Agent's request,
evidence satisfactory to Trustee/Collateral Agent that the Taxes, Other Charges
and utility service charges have been so paid or are not then delinquent.
Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any
lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a lien or charge against the
Property. Except to the extent sums sufficient to pay all Taxes and Other
Charges have been deposited with Trustee/Collateral Agent in accordance with the
terms of this Security Instrument, Borrower shall furnish to Trustee/Collateral
Agent paid receipts for the payment of the Taxes and Other Charges prior to the
date the same shall become delinquent.
(b) After prior written notice to Trustee/Collateral Agent, Borrower, at
its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated
and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or
application in whole or in part of any of the Taxes, provided that (i) no Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Note, the Indenture, this
Security Instrument or any of the Other Security Documents, (ii) Borrower is
permitted to do so under the provisions of any other mortgage, deed of trust or
deed to secure debt affecting the Property, (iii) such proceeding shall suspend
the collection of the Taxes from Borrower and from the Property or Borrower
shall have paid all of the Taxes under protest, (iv) such proceeding shall be
permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other
material document to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a
default thereunder, (v) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest
therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or
lost and (vi) Borrower shall have deposited with Trustee/Collateral Agent
adequate reserves for the payment of the Taxes, together with all interest and
penalties thereon, unless Borrower has paid all of the Taxes under protest, or
Borrower shall have furnished the security as may be required in the proceeding,
or as may be reasonably requested by Trustee/Collateral Agent (it is understood
that Trustee/Collateral Agent is under no obligation to make such request) to
insure the payment of any contested Taxes, together with all interest and
penalties thereon, taking into consideration the amount in the Escrow Fund
available for payment of Taxes.
Section 4.5 Escrow Fund. Borrower shall pay all Taxes and Insurance
-----------
Premiums and shall provide Trustee/Collateral Agent, on the date hereof, on each
anniversary of the date hereof for so long as the Obligations remain
outstanding, and at any time, from time to time that Trustee/Collateral Agent
shall request, an Officer's Certificate (as defined in the Indenture) which
certifies and delivers true and correct copies of evidence of payment of all
Taxes and Insurance Premiums. In the event Borrower fails to comply with the
obligations set forth in the immediately preceding sentence and such failure
constitutes a continuing Event of Default under the Indenture,
Trustee/Collateral Agent may, at its option, collect such amounts
11
with respect to Taxes and Insurance Premiums from Borrower. In such case,
Borrower shall pay to Trustee/Collateral Agent on the first day of each calendar
month (a) one-twelfth of an amount which would be sufficient to pay the Taxes
payable, or estimated by Trustee/Collateral Agent to be payable, during the next
ensuing twelve (12) months and (b) one-twelfth of an amount which would be
sufficient to pay the Insurance Premiums due for the renewal of the coverage
afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof (the amounts in (a) and (b)
above shall be called the "Escrow Fund"). Borrower agrees to notify
Trustee/Collateral Agent immediately of any changes to the amounts, schedules
and instructions for payment of any Taxes and Insurance Premiums of which it has
or obtains knowledge and authorizes Trustee/Collateral Agent or its agent to
obtain the bills for Taxes directly from the appropriate taxing authority. The
Escrow Fund and the payments of interest or principal or both, payable pursuant
to the Note and the Indenture shall be added together and shall be paid as an
aggregate sum by Borrower to Trustee/Collateral Agent. Provided there are
sufficient amounts in the Escrow Fund and a continuing Event of Default under
the Indenture exists, Trustee/Collateral Agent shall be obligated to pay the
Taxes and Insurance Premiums as they become due on their respective due dates on
behalf of Borrower by applying the Escrow Fund to the payments of such Taxes and
Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Sections 4.3 and
4.4. If the amount of the Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and
Insurance Premiums pursuant to Sections 4.3 and 4.4, Trustee/Collateral Agent
shall, in its discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess
against future payments to be made to the Escrow Fund. In allocating such
excess, Trustee/Collateral Agent may deal with the person shown on the records
of Trustee/Collateral Agent to be the owner of the Property. If the Escrow Fund
is not sufficient to pay the items set forth in (a) and (b) above, Borrower
shall promptly pay to Trustee/Collateral Agent, upon demand, an amount which
Trustee/Collateral Agent shall reasonably estimate as sufficient to make up the
deficiency. The Escrow Fund shall not constitute a trust fund and may be
commingled with other monies held by Trustee/Collateral Agent. Unless otherwise
required by applicable state or federal law, no earnings or interest on the
Escrow Fund shall be payable to Borrower.
Section 4.6 Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give
------------
Trustee/Collateral Agent notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any
condemnation or eminent domain proceeding and shall deliver to
Trustee/Collateral Agent copies of any and all papers served in connection with
such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public
authority through eminent domain or otherwise (including, but not limited to any
transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking),
Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided
for its payment in the Note, the Indenture and in this Security Instrument and
the Debt shall not be reduced until any award or payment therefor shall have
been actually received by Trustee/Collateral Agent, after the deduction of
reasonable expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt.
Trustee/Collateral Agent shall not be limited to the interest paid on the award
by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the award
interest at the rate or rates provided in the Note or the Indenture. Borrower
shall cause the award or payment made in any condemnation or eminent domain
proceeding, which is payable to Borrower, to be paid directly to
Trustee/Collateral Agent. Trustee/Collateral Agent shall hold any such funds in
a non-interest bearing escrow account and may apply any award or payment to the
reduction or discharge of the Debt when such Debt becomes due and payable in
whole or in part. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise,
prior to the receipt by Trustee/Collateral Agent of the award or payment,
12
Trustee/Collateral Agent shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency
judgment on the Note or the Indenture (to the extent permitted in the Note or
the Indenture or herein) shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive
the award or payment, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.

or (2) other funds of Borrower, then the Net Proceeds will be disbursed directly
to Borrower.
13
(c) If the Net Proceeds are greater than the Net Proceeds Availability
Threshold, such Net Proceeds shall, subject to the provisions of the Leases that
are superior to the lien of this Security Instrument or with respect to which
subordination and non-disturbance agreements binding upon Trustee/Collateral

taking does not materially impair access to the Property;
(vi) any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of
principal and interest under the Note or the Indenture which will be incurred

other casualty or taking, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1)
the Net Proceeds, or (2) other funds of Borrower;

security for the Obligations. The Net Proceeds other than the Net Proceeds paid
under the Policy described in Subsection 4.3(a) shall be disbursed by
Trustee/Collateral Agent to, or as directed by, Borrower, in an amount equal to
the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the
Restoration less customary retainage from time to time during the course of the
Restoration, not more frequently than once per month, upon receipt of an
Officer's Certificate certifying that (A) all materials installed and work and
labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the
requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in
full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic's or
materialman's liens or notices of intention to file the same, or any other liens
or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property arising out of the
Restoration which have not either been fully bonded and discharged of record or
in the alternative fully insured to the reasonable satisfaction of
Trustee/Collateral Agent by the title company insuring the lien of this Security
Instrument. The Net Proceeds paid under the policy described in Subsection
4.3(a) may be utilized in a manner as provided in this Section 4.7 so long as no
Event of Default is continuing under the Indenture, and in the manner set forth

having jurisdiction and (ii) Casualty Consultant's (defined below) certification
that the Restoration has been fully completed.
(f) Trustee/Collateral Agent shall have the use of the plans and

Consultant"). All costs and reasonable expenses incurred by Trustee/Collateral
Agent in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration
including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the
Casualty Consultant's fees, shall be paid by Borrower.
(g) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof
shall not be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are
estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the
completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency in
immediately available funds (the "Net Proceeds Deficiency") with
Trustee/Collateral Agent before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds
shall be made. The
15
Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Trustee/Collateral Agent shall be held by
Trustee/Collateral Agent and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in
connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the
disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this

Trustee/Collateral Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
participate in and reasonably approve any settlement for insurance claims with

continuing, Borrower hereby irrevocably empowers Trustee/Collateral Agent, in
the name of Borrower as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, to file and
prosecute such claim and to collect and to make receipt for any such payment. If
the Net Proceeds are received by Borrower, such Net Proceeds shall, until the
completion of the related work, be held in trust for Trustee/Collateral Agent
and shall be segregated from other funds of Borrower to be used to pay for the
cost of the Restoration in accordance with the terms hereof.
(i) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if
any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Trustee/Collateral Agent

4.7, and (ii) the receipt by Trustee/Collateral Agent of the Officer's
Certificate referred to above certifying that all costs incurred in connection
with the Restoration have been paid in full and all required permits, licenses,
certificates of occupancy and other required approvals of governmental
authorities having jurisdiction have been issued, shall be remitted by
Trustee/Collateral Agent to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have
occurred and shall be continuing beyond all applicable cure periods under the
Note, the Indenture, this Security Instrument or any of the Other Security
Documents.
(j) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the
Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant
to Subsection 4.7(h) shall be retained by Trustee/Collateral Agent in a
non-interest bearing account and applied toward the payment of the Debt as and
when such shall become due and payable in accordance with the Indenture or the
Note. If Trustee/Collateral Agent shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, the
lien of this Security Instrument shall be reduced only by the amount received
and retained by Trustee/Collateral Agent and actually applied by
Trustee/Collateral Agent in reduction of the Debt.

any guaranty, letter of credit or other credit support with respect thereto)
provided that such action (taking into account, in the case of a termination,
reduction in rent, surrender of space or shortening of term, the planned
alternative use of the affected space) does not have a materially adverse effect
on the value of the Property taken as a whole, and provided that such Lease, as
amended, modified or waived, is otherwise in compliance with the requirements of
this Security Instrument and Permitted Senior Secured Debt (as set forth and
described in the Indenture), if any. A termination of a Lease with a tenant who

Subsection together with an Officer's Certificate certifying that Borrower has
satisfied all of the conditions of this Subsection.

-----------------
(a) The failure of Trustee/Collateral Agent to insist upon strict
performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of
this Security Instrument. Borrower shall not be relieved of Borrower's
obligations hereunder by reason of (i) the failure of Trustee/Collateral Agent
to comply with any request of Borrower, any Guarantor or any Indemnitor to take
any action to foreclose this Security Instrument or otherwise enforce any of the
provisions hereof or of the Note, the Indenture or the Other Security Documents,
(ii) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the

Property or obtained possession by a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, it is agreed
that the risk of loss or damage to the Property is on Borrower, and
Trustee/Collateral Agent shall have no liability whatsoever for decline in value
of the Property, for failure to maintain the policies, or for failure to
determine whether insurance in force is adequate as to the amount of risks
insured. Possession by Trustee/Collateral Agent shall not be deemed an election
of judicial relief, if any such possession is requested or obtained, with
respect to any Property or collateral not in Trustee/Collateral Agent's
possession.
(c) Trustee/Collateral Agent may resort for the payment of the Debt to any
other security held by Trustee/Collateral Agent in such order and manner as
Trustee/Collateral Agent, in its discretion, may elect. Trustee/Collateral Agent
may take action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any
covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Trustee/Collateral Agent
thereafter to foreclose this Security Instrument. The rights of
Trustee/Collateral Agent under this Security Instrument shall be separate,
distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the
others. No act of Trustee/Collateral Agent shall be construed as an election to
proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision.

remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or
hereafter afforded at law or in equity.

--------------------------------------------
Trustee/Collateral Agent may release any portion of the Property from the lien
of this Security Instrument for such consideration as Trustee/Collateral Agent
may require without, as to the remainder of the Property, in any way impairing
or affecting the lien or priority of this Security Instrument, or improving the
position of any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto, except to the
extent that the obligations hereunder shall have been reduced by the actual
monetary consideration, if any, received by Trustee/Collateral Agent for such
release, and may accept by assignment, pledge or otherwise any other property in
place thereof as Trustee/Collateral Agent may require without being accountable
for so doing to any other lienholder. This Security Instrument shall continue as
a lien and security interest in the remaining portion of the Property.
Section 11.9 Violation of Laws. If the Property is not in compliance

with Applicable Laws, Trustee/Collateral Agent may impose additional
requirements upon Borrower in connection therewith including, without
limitation, monetary reserves or financial equivalents reasonably related to
such non-compliance.

Trustee/Collateral Agent and its agents shall have the right to enter and
inspect the Property at all reasonable times upon reasonable notice to Borrower.
Section 11.11 Subrogation. If any or all of the proceeds of the Note

or the Indenture have been used to extinguish, extend or renew any indebtedness
heretofore existing against the Property, then, to the extent of the funds so
used, Trustee/Collateral Agent shall be subrogated to all of the rights, claims,
liens, titles and interests existing against the Property heretofore held by, or
in favor of, the holder of such indebtedness and such former rights, claims,
liens, titles and interests, if any, are not waived but rather are continued in
full force and effect in favor of Trustee/Collateral Agent and are merged with

THIS SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT (the

with its successors and/or assigns the "Trustee/Collateral Agent").
is the lessor (the "Landlord") and Tenant is the lessee under
-------------
the lease described in Exhibit A attached hereto (as the same may from time to
time be assigned, subleased, renewed, extended, amended, modified or
supplemented, collectively the "Lease").
The Trustee/Collateral Agent, in its capacity as trustee under that certain
Indenture (the "Indenture") dated April , 2002, is acting as the secured party
--
on behalf of the Holders of those certain 11% Senior Secured Notes due 2008
which are secured by, among other things, that certain Mortgage, Security
Agreement and Fixture Filing on certain real and personal property and
improvements (the "Premises"), recorded or to be recorded in the appropriate
records of New York County, State of New York (the "Security Instrument").
The Trustee/Collateral Agent has requested the Tenant to confirm the fact
that the Lease is subject and subordinate to the Security Instrument.
The Tenant is willing to confirm the subordination of the Lease, provided
it obtains assurance from the Trustee/Collateral Agent that its possession of
the premises demised under the Lease (the "Demised Premises), which Demised
Premises is all or a portion of the Premises, and its right to use any common
areas will not be disturbed by reason of or in the event of the foreclosure of
the Security Instrument.
The Trustee/Collateral Agent is willing to give such assurance.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual agreements herein
contained and other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto do
hereby mutually covenant and agree as follows:
1. The Tenant hereby subordinates the Lease and all terms and conditions
contained therein and all rights, options, liens and charges created thereby to
the Security Instrument and the lien thereof, and to all present or future
advances under the obligations secured thereby and
48
to all renewals, extensions, amendments, modifications and/or supplements of
same, to the full extent of all amounts secured thereby from time to time.
2. So long as no event of default on the part of the Tenant under the Lease
shall exist which would entitle the Landlord to terminate the Lease, or if such
an event of default shall exist, so long as the Tenant's time to cure the
default shall not have expired, the term of the Lease shall not be terminated
and the Tenant's right of possession to the Demised Premises and its rights in
and to any common areas and its other rights arising out of the Lease will all
be fully recognized and protected by the Trustee/Collateral Agent and shall not
be disturbed, canceled, terminated or otherwise affected by reason of the
Security Instrument or any action or proceeding instituted by the
Trustee/Collateral Agent to foreclose the Security Instrument, or any extension,
renewal, consolidation or replacement of same, irrespective of whether the
Tenant shall have been joined in any action or proceeding.
3. In the event that the Trustee/Collateral Agent takes possession of the
Premises, either as the result of foreclosure of the Security Instrument or
accepting a deed to the Premises in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise, or the
Premises shall be purchased at such a foreclosure by a third party, the Tenant
shall attorn to the Trustee/Collateral Agent or such third party and recognize
the Trustee/Collateral Agent or such third party as its landlord under the
Lease, and the Trustee/Collateral Agent or such third party will recognize and
accept the Tenant as its tenant thereunder, whereupon, the Lease shall continue
in full force and effect as a direct lease between the Trustee/Collateral Agent
or such third party and the Tenant for the full term thereof, together with all
extensions and renewals thereof, and the Trustee/Collateral Agent or such third
party shall there-after assume and perform all of the Landlord's obligations, as
the landlord under the Lease with the same force and effect as if the
Trustee/Collateral Agent or such third party were originally named therein as
the Landlord; provided, however, that the Trustee/Collateral Agent or such third
party shall not be:
(a) liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including the
Landlord), except to the extent the Trustee/Collateral Agent was furnished
notice and opportunity to cure the same in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement prior to taking possession of such Premises; or
(b) subject to any offsets or defenses which the Tenant might have against
any prior landlord (including the Landlord), except to the extent the
Trustee/Collateral Agent was furnished notice and opportunity to cure the same
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement prior to taking possession
of such Premises; or
(c) bound by any rent or additional rent which the Tenant might have paid
for more than two (2) months in advance to any prior landlord (including the
Landlord); or
(d) bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease not consented to in
writing by the Trustee/Collateral Agent.
4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or otherwise,
in the event the Trustee/Collateral Agent or a third party takes possession of
the Premises as provided
49
in paragraph 3 above, the liability of the Trustee/Collateral Agent or such
third party under the Lease shall be limited to the Trustee/Collateral Agent's
or such third party's, as the case may be, interest in the Premises, and upon
any assignment or other transfer of the Trustee/Collateral Agent's or such
third-party's interest in the Premises, the Trustee/Collateral Agent or such
third party, as applicable, shall be discharged and released from any obligation
or liability under the Lease arising or accruing after the date of such
assignment or transfer.
5. Tenant agrees not to subordinate the Lease to any other lien or
encumbrance which (i) affects the Premises under the Lease, or any part thereof,
or (ii) is junior to the Security Instrument, without the express written
consent of the Trustee/Collateral Agent, and any such subordination or any such
attempted subordination or agreement to subordinate without such consent of
Trustee/Collateral Agent, shall be void and of no force and effect.
6. Tenant agrees to provide copies of all notices given Landlord under the
Lease to Trustee/Collateral Agent at the following address:
Trustee/Collateral Agent:
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
Telephone:
--------------------
Telecopy:
--------------------
or to such other address as Trustee/Collateral Agent shall designate in writing;
and all such notices shall be in writing and shall be considered as properly
given if (i) mailed to the addressee by first class United States mail, postage
prepaid, registered or certified with return receipt requested, (ii) by
delivering same in person to the addressee, or (iii) by delivery to a third
party commercial delivery service for same day or next day delivery to the
office of the addressee with proof of delivery; any notice so given shall be
effective, as applicable, upon (a) the third (3rd) day following the day such
notice is deposited with the United States mail, (b) delivery to the addressee,
or (c) upon delivery to such third party delivery service; and any notice given
in any other manner shall be effective only if and when received by the
addressee.
7. In the event Landlord shall fail to perform or observe any of the terms,
conditions or agreements in the Lease, Tenant shall give written notice thereof
to Trustee/Collateral Agent and Trustee/Collateral Agent shall have the right
(but not the obligation) to cure such default. Tenant shall not take any action
with respect to such default under the Lease (including without limitation any
action in order to terminate, rescind or avoid the Lease or to withhold any rent
or other monetary obligations thereunder) for a period of thirty (30) days
following receipt of such written notice by Trustee/Collateral Agent; provided,
however, that in the case of any default which cannot with diligence be cured
within such thirty (30) day period, if Trustee/Collateral Agent shall proceed
promptly to cure such default and thereafter prosecute the curing of such
default with diligence and continuity, then the time within which such default
may be cured shall be extended for such period as may be necessary to complete
the curing of such default with diligence and continuity.
50
8. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall in any way impair or affect
the lien created by the Security Instrument, except as specifically set forth
herein.
9. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however,
that in the event of the assignment or transfer of the interest of the
Trustee/Collateral Agent to a party that assumes the Trustee/Collateral Agent's
obligations and liabilities hereunder, all obligations and liabilities of the
Trustee/Collateral Agent under this Agreement shall terminate, and thereupon all
such obligations and liabilities shall be the responsibility of the party to
whom the Trustee/Collateral Agent's interest is assigned or transferred.
10. In the event of any litigation or other legal proceeding arising
between the parties to this Agreement, whether relating to the enforcement of a
party's rights under this Agreement or otherwise, the prevailing party shall be
entitled to receive its reasonable attorney's fees and costs of suit from the
non-prevailing party in such amount as the court shall determine.
