       end of the Term; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the
       contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord shall have no obligation to

       under any documents relating to any Authorized Loan, or (b) the
       occurrence of a default or an Event of Default under the Construction
       Deed of Trust, the Second Deed of Trust or the HKS Assignment.

       2. Existence of Permitted Exceptions. Tenant hereby acknowledges that the
existence of any Permitted Exception, and the exercise of any rights or remedies

documents, instruments and agreements executed in connection therewith by
Landlord.

       6. Terms. All terms used in this Second Amendment with their initial
letter capitalized which are specially defined in the Lease (as amended by this
Second Amendment) shall have the same meanings in this Second Amendment as in
the Lease (as amended by this Second Amendment).

the terms of the Lease remain in full force and effect. To the extent of any
conflict between the terms of the Lease and the terms of this Second Amendment,
the terms of this Second Amendment shall control.

       8. Counterparts. This Second Amendment may be executed in any number of
