SEMICONDUCTOR, INC., a California corporation, having its principal office at

     W I T N E S S E T H :

       A. WHEREAS, the Lessor is the owner of certain land together with any
Improvements thereon;                                                           

       B. WHEREAS, the Lessor desires to lease to the Lessee, and the Lessee
desires to lease from the Lessor, such Property; and                            

       C. WHEREAS, with respect to such Property the Lessee, as Construction
Agent, will construct certain Financed Improvements which as constructed will be
the property of the Lessor and will become part of such Property subject to the 
terms of this Lease.                                                            

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and of other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby     
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:                              

     ARTICLE I

        1.1.      DEFINITIONS; INTERPRETATION.  Capitalized terms used but not

Matisse Holding Company; and the rules of interpretation set forth in APPENDIX I
shall apply to this Lease.                                                      

      ARTICLE II

  2.1.      ACCEPTANCE AND LEASE OF PROPERTY.  Effective as of the

lease commencing on such Closing Date from the Lessor for the Term, the Land    
Interest to be delivered on such Closing Date and the Property, and to lease in 
accordance with the terms set forth herein any Improvements now or hereafter    
thereon, including, without limitation, any Financed Improvements which are     
constructed thereon pursuant to the Construction Agency Agreement, this Lease or

The Lessee shall, on the Closing Date, without further act, be deemed           
irrevocably to have accepted the Property for all purposes of this Lease and the
other Operative Documents on the terms set forth therein and herein, and, as of 
the Closing Date, the Property (including the Improvements constructed or to be 
constructed thereon) shall be deemed to be included in the leasehold estate of  
this Lease and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease.      

        2.2.      LEASE TERM.  The term of this Lease (the "TERM") shall begin
on the Closing Date and shall end on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, 
unless the Term is renewed or earlier terminated in accordance with the         
provisions of this Lease.                                                       

    2.3.      TITLE.  The Property is leased to the Lessee without any
representation or warranty of title, condition of the Improvements or permitted 
uses, express or implied, by the Lessor (except as expressly provided herein)   
and subject to the rights of parties in possession, the existing state of title 
(including, without limitation, the Permitted Exceptions other than Lessor      
Liens) and all applicable Requirements of Law.  The Lessee shall in no event    
have any recourse against the Lessor or Bank or Matisse for any defect in or    
exception to title to the Property, except for Lessor Liens in accordance with  
SECTION 5.1 and as expressly provided herein.  Subject only to Lessor's         
agreement in Article V, the Lessee expressly waives and releases the Lessor from
any common law or statutory covenant of quiet enjoyment.                        

     ARTICLE III

         3.1.     RENT.  (a)  During the Term, the Lessee shall pay Basic Rent
on each Payment Date after the Commitment Period, on the date required under    
SECTION 22.1(I) in connection with the Lessee's exercise of the Remarketing     
Option and on any date on which this Lease terminates.  Prior to the expiration 
of the Commitment Period, Basic Rent shall be capitalized on each Payment Date  
through Rental Payment Advances made pursuant to the Participation Agreement and
pursuant hereto.  Such Rental Payment Advances shall increase the Property Costs
and the Asset Termination Value as of such date.                                

         (b) Basic Rent shall be due and payable in lawful money of the United
States and shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds on the 
due date therefor to such account or accounts at the Bank or in such other      
manner as the Bank shall from time to time direct.                              

       (c) Neither the Lessee's inability or failure to take possession of
all or any portion of the Property upon the Closing Date, nor the Lessor's      
inability or failure to deliver all or any portion of the Property to the Lessee
on or before the Closing Date, whether or not attributable to any act or        
omission of the Lessee or any act or omission of the Lessor, or for any other   
reason whatsoever, shall delay or otherwise affect the Lessee's obligation to   
pay Rent for the Property from and after commencement of the Term.              

 (d) On each date which is two (2) Business Days prior to each
Scheduled Payment Date during the Commitment Period, the Lessee shall be deemed 
to have requested a Lease Advance pursuant to SECTION 3.4 OF THE PARTICIPATION  
AGREEMENT constituting a Rental Payment Advance in an amount equal to the       
aggregate accrued but unpaid Basic Rent through

such Scheduled Payment Date.  The Funding Date with respect to any such Rental  
Payment Advance shall be the relevant Scheduled Payment Date (PROVIDED that such
Rental Payment Advance shall be subject to satisfaction of the applicable       
conditions precedent set forth in SECTION 6 OF THE PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT).    

    (e) Whenever it is calculated on the basis of the Alternate Base
Rate, Basic Rent shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the    
case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed; and, otherwise, Basic Rent   
shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. 
Pursuant to the Participation Agreement, the Bank shall as soon as practicable  
notify the Lessee of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate.  Bank shall notify
Lessee prior to any Payment Date of the amount of Basic Rent payable on such    
Payment Date.                                                                   

        (f) Each determination of the rate for the calculation of Basic Rent
by the Bank pursuant to the Participation Agreement shall be conclusive and     
binding on the Lessee in the absence of manifest error.                         

       3.2.      PAYMENT OF BASIC RENT.  Basic Rent shall be paid absolutely
net to the Lessor, so that this lease shall yield to the Lessor the full amount 
thereof, without setoff, deduction or reduction (except taxes on Lessor's net   
income, gross receipts or the like), whether or not the Lessee's quiet          
possession of the Property is disturbed.                                        

     3.3.      SUPPLEMENTAL RENT.  The Lessee shall pay to the Lessor or
the Person entitled thereto any and all Supplemental Rent promptly as the same  
shall become due and payable, and if the Lessee fails to pay any Supplemental   
Rent, the Lessor shall have all rights, powers and remedies provided for herein 
or by law or equity or otherwise in the case of nonpayment of Basic Rent.       
Supplemental Rent shall be due upon notice from the Lessor or other Person      
entitled thereto to the Lessee (other than Supplemental Rent due on the         
Expiration Date or other termination of this Lease, which shall automatically be
due on such Expiration Date or termination, without notice).  The Lessee shall  
pay to the Lessor, as Supplemental Rent, among other things, on demand, to the  
extent permitted by Requirements of Law, interest at the applicable Overdue Rate
pursuant to SECTION 3.5 on any installment of Basic Rent not paid when due for  
the period for which the same shall be overdue and on any payment of            
Supplemental Rent representing a sum due Lessor hereunder not (i) paid when due 
or demanded by the Lessor with respect to Supplemental Rent due on the          
Expiration Date or other termination of this Lease, or (ii) within ten (10) days
of the date when due or demanded by the Lessor for all other Supplemental Rent, 
in either case, for the period from the due date or the date of any such demand,
as the case may be, until the same shall be paid.  The expiration or other      
termination of the Lessee's obligations to pay Basic Rent hereunder shall not   
limit or modify the obligations of the Lessee with respect to Supplemental Rent 
accrued prior to the later of the dates upon which (i) the Lease terminates, or 
(ii) the Lessee surrenders possession and control of the Property to Lessor.    
Unless expressly provided otherwise in this Lease, in the event of any failure  
on the part of the Lessee to pay and discharge any Supplemental Rent as and when
due, the Lessee shall also promptly pay and discharge any fine, penalty,        
interest or cost which may be assessed or added under any agreement between (or 
authorized by) the Lessee and a third party for nonpayment or late payment of   
such Supplemental Rent,

all of which shall also constitute Supplemental Rent.                           

     3.4.      METHOD OF PAYMENT.  Each payment of Rent shall be made by
the Lessee to the Bank as the assignee of this Lease pursuant to the Assignment 
of Lease-Related Documents (unless and until Lessee is instructed to do         
otherwise pursuant to a written instruction from the Bank) prior to 12:00 noon, 
Portland, Oregon time, at the place of payment in immediately available funds   
consisting of lawful currency of the United States of America which shall be    
immediately available on the scheduled date when such payment shall be due,     
unless such scheduled date shall not be a Business Day, in which case such      
payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day or as otherwise       
required by the definition of the term "Interest Period" set forth in APPENDIX 1
OF THE PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT.  Payments received after 12:00 noon, Portland,  
Oregon time shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day.       
Lessee may designate in writing an account maintained with the Bank from which  
payments of Rent may be debited on the due date thereof.  Such designation shall
remain in effect until the Bank is notified in writing that the designation is  
cancelled.                                                                      

     3.5.      OVERDUE SUMS.  If any Basic Rent shall not be paid within
five (5) Business Days after the date due or any Supplemental Rent or any other 
sum due hereunder (including, without limitation, Asset Termination Value, the  
Purchase Option Price, or the Residual Value Guarantee Amount) shall not be paid
when due (whether at the stated due date, by acceleration pursuant to SECTIONS  
17.2(d) OR 20.3, or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a    
rate per annum which is equal to the Overdue Rate.                              

      ARTICLE IV

      4.1.      UTILITY CHARGES.  The Lessee shall pay or cause to be paid
all charges for electricity, power, gas, oil, water, telephone, sanitary sewer  
service and all other rents and utilities used in or on the Property during the 
Term.  The Lessee shall be entitled to receive any credit or refund with respect
to any utility charge paid by the Lessee and the amount of any credit or refund 
received by the Lessor on account of any utility charges paid by the Lessee, net
of the costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Lessor in obtaining such   
credit or refund, shall be promptly paid over to the Lessee.  All charges for   
utilities imposed with respect to the Property for a billing period during which
this Lease expires or terminates shall be adjusted and prorated on a daily basis
between the Lessor (or the successor to the Lessor as owner of the Property if  
the Property is sold to such successor on the date of such expiration or        
termination) and the Lessee, and each party shall pay or reimburse the other for
each party's pro rata share thereof, except that if the Lessee retains          
possession of the Property after termination or expiration of this Lease, no    
such adjustment and proration shall be made.                                    

     ARTICLE V

     5.1.      QUIET ENJOYMENT.  The Lessor will not create or permit to
exist at any time, and will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take such    
action as may be necessary duly to discharge, or to cause to be discharged, all 
Lessor Liens on the Property; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Lessor shall not be   
required to so discharge any such Lessor Lien while the same is being contested 
in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently prosecuted so long as such  
proceedings shall not involve any material danger of impairment of the Liens of 
the Lease or the

Operative Documents or of the sale, forfeiture or loss of, and shall not        
interfere with the use or disposition of, the Property or title thereto or any  
interest therein or the payment of Rent, shall not result in any cost or expense
to the Lessee and Lessor further covenants that any such contest shall be       
completed and such Lessor Lien discharged prior to the consummation of any      
purchase or sale of the Property pursuant to the terms of this Lease.           

      ARTICLE VI

       6.1.      NET LEASE.  This Lease shall constitute a net lease.  It is
the express intent of Lessor and Lessee that the obligations of Lessor and      
Lessee hereunder shall be separate and independent covenants and agreements and 
that the Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent, and all other charges and sums       
payable by Lessee hereunder, shall commence at the times provided herein and    
shall continue to be payable in all events unless the obligations to pay the    
same shall be terminated pursuant to an express provision in this Lease.  Any   
present or future law to the contrary notwithstanding, this Lease shall not     
terminate, nor shall the Lessee be entitled to any abatement, suspension,       
deferment, reduction, setoff, counterclaim, or defense with respect to the Rent 
(other than the defense of full payment), nor shall the obligations of the      
Lessee hereunder be affected by reason of: (i) any defect in the condition,     
merchantability, design, construction, quality or fitness for use of the

Operative Documents, and the obligations of the Lessee shall continue unaffected
unless such obligations shall have been modified or terminated in accordance    
with an express provision of this Lease.                                        

 6.2.      NO TERMINATION OR ABATEMENT.  The Lessee shall remain
obligated under this Lease in accordance with its terms and shall not take any  
action to terminate, rescind or avoid this Lease, notwithstanding any action for
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, or other      
proceeding affecting the Lessor, Matisse or the Bank, or any action with respect
to this Lease which may be taken by any trustee, receiver or liquidator of      
Lessor, Matisse or the Bank or by any court with respect to Lessor, Matisse or  
the Bank.  The Lessee hereby waives all right (i) to terminate or surrender this
Lease (except as provided herein) or (ii) to avail itself of any abatement,     
suspension, deferment, reduction, setoff, counterclaim or defense (other than   
the defense of payment) with respect to any Rent.  The Lessee shall remain      
obligated under this Lease in accordance with its terms and the Lessee hereby   
waives any and all rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise to 
modify or to avoid strict compliance with its obligations under this Lease.     
Notwithstanding any such statute or otherwise, the Lessee shall be bound by all 
of the terms and conditions contained in this Lease.                            

     6.3.      OBLIGATION TO PAY RENT NOTWITHSTANDING LEASE TERMINATION.
Unless the Wolverine/Bank Loan and the Wolverine/Matisse Loan, plus all accrued 
but unpaid interest thereon, plus all the accrued but unpaid Basic Rent have    
been paid in full, if for any reason whatsoever this Lease shall be terminated  
in whole or in part by operation of law or otherwise, except as expressly       
provided in SECTIONS 16.1, 20.1, 20.2 AND 22.1 of this Lease, Lessee shall,     
unless and to the extent prohibited by Requirements of Law, nonetheless pay to  
the Bank pursuant to SECTION 3.4 (or, in the case of Supplemental Rent, to      
whomever shall be entitled thereto) an amount equal to each Rent payment at the 
time and in the manner that such payment would have become due and payable under
the terms of this Lease if it had not been terminated in whole or in part, and  
in such case, so long as such payments are made and no Lease Event of Default   
shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessor will deem this Lease to have      
remained in effect.  Each payment of Rent made by Lessee hereunder shall be     
final and, absent manifest error in the computation of the amount thereof or the
application of any payment, Lessee shall not seek or have any right to recover  
all or any part of such payment from Lessor, Matisse, the Bank or any party to  
any agreements related thereto for any reason whatsoever.  Lessee assumes the   
sole responsibility for the condition, use, operation, maintenance, and         
management of the Property and Lessor shall have no responsibility in respect   
thereof and shall have no liability for damage to the Property or any other     
property of Lessee or any subtenant of Lessee on any account or for any reason  
whatsoever other than by reason of Lessor's willful misconduct or gross         
negligence or breach of any of its obligations under any Operative Document     
which is the proximate cause of such damage.  Without affecting Lessee's        
obligation to pay Rent, Lessee may seek damages and other relief for a breach of
Lessor of its obligations under this Lease, subject to the provisions of SECTION
31.7 hereof.

not violate the Operative Documents or materially impair the value, utility and 
remaining useful life of the Property, (ii) such grant, release, dedication,    
transfer, consent, action or amendment is reasonably necessary in connection    
with the use, operation, maintenance, alteration or improvement of the Property

Agreement, (iii) no such grant, release, action, amendment or other instrument

confirming that all of the conditions applicable to all such grants, releases,  
actions or amendments theretofore granted or entered into by Lessee, as set     
forth in this Section 12.2, have been satisifed.  Without limiting the          
effectiveness of the foregoing, provided that no Lease Event of Default shall

required by the Permitted Exceptions or by Requirements of Laws; provided, that 
(i) such actions shall be limited to actions that can only be taken by Lessor as
the owner of the Property, as opposed to any action that can be taken by Lessee 
or any third party (and the payment of any monetary obligation shall not be an  
action required of Lessor under this subparagraph unless Lessor shall first have
received funds from Lessee, in excess of any other amounts due from Lessee      
hereunder, sufficient to pay such monetary obligations), (ii) Lessee requests   
the action to be taken by Lessor (which request must be specific and in writing,
if required by Lessor at the time the request is made), and (iii) the action to 
be taken will not constitute a violation of any Operative Documents or          
Requirements of Laws or subject Lessor,

      12.4.     FURTHER ACTIONS BY LESSEE.  Subject to the other terms and

arising under and to exercise and enforce the rights of Lessee or the owner of  
the Property under the Development Contracts and other Permitted Exceptions in  
Lessee's own name and to the exclusion of Lessor during the Term without any    
notice to or consent of Lessor so long as no Lease Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing and so long as Lessee does not thereby create any encumbrance 
or cloud on Lessor's title to the Property (other than a Permitted Exception);  
PROVIDED, that to the extent any such monetary damages may become payable as    
compensation for an adverse impact on the value of the Property, the rights of  
Lessor and Lessee hereunder with respect to the collection and application of   
such monetary damages shall be the same as for condemnation proceeds payable    
because of a taking of all or any part of the Property.

amount, validity or application, in whole or in part, of any Requirement of Law,
or utility charges payable pursuant to SECTION 4.1 hereof or any Lien,          
attachment, levy, encumbrance or encroachment, and the Lessor agrees not to pay,
settle or otherwise compromise any such item, provided that (a) the commencement
and continuation of such proceedings shall suspend the collection thereof from, 
and suspend the enforcement thereof against, the Property, the Lessor, Matisse  
and the Bank or the commencement and continuation of such proceedings shall not 
impair the collateral under the Operative Documents; (b) no part of the Property
nor any Rent would be in any danger of being sold, forfeited, lost or deferred  
unless Lessee shall have provided an adequate bond for such event; (c) at no    
time during the permitted contest shall there be a risk of the imposition of    
criminal liability or material civil liability on the Lessor, Matisse or the    
Bank for failure to comply therewith; and (d) there shall be no material risk   
that the application of such item, after any such contest, shall extend beyond  
the end of the Term unless Lessee shall have provided an adequate bond therefor.
The Lessor, at the Lessee's sole cost and expense, shall execute and deliver to 
the Lessee such authorizations and other documents as may reasonably be required
in connection with any such contest and, if reasonably requested by the Lessee, 
shall join as a party therein at the Lessee's sole cost and expense.            

     ARTICLE XIV

 14.1.     PUBLIC LIABILITY AND WORKERS' COMPENSATION INSURANCE.
During the Term, the Lessee shall procure and carry, at the Lessee's sole cost  
and expense, commercial general liability insurance for claims for injuries or  
death sustained by persons or damage to property while on the Property and such 
other public liability coverages as are ordinarily procured by Persons who own  
or operate similar properties and consistent with prudent business practice or  
as otherwise specifically required by the Operative Documents.  Such insurance  
shall be on terms and in amounts (which shall be reasonably acceptable to the   
Lessor) that are no less favorable than insurance maintained by the Lessee with 
respect to similar properties that it owns and that are in accordance with      
prudent business practice or

as otherwise specifically required by the Operative Documents.  The policy shall
be endorsed to name the Lessor, Matisse and the Bank as additional insureds.    
The policy shall also specifically provide that the policy shall be considered  
primary insurance which shall apply to any loss or claim before any contribution
by any insurance which the Lessor, Matisse or the Bank may have in force.  The  
Lessee shall, in the construction of the Improvements and the operation of the  
Property (including in connection with any Modifications thereof) comply with   
the applicable workers' compensation laws and protect the Lessor, Matisse and   
the Bank against any liability under such laws.                                 

    14.2.     HAZARD AND OTHER INSURANCE.  During the Term, the Lessee
shall keep, or cause to be kept, the Property insured against loss or damage by 
fire, flood, and other risks in an amount not less than the then current        
replacement cost of the buildings and improvements on the Property and on terms 
that are no less favorable than the insurance in place on the date hereof       
covering other similar properties of Lessee and that are in accordance with     
prudent business practice or as otherwise specifically required by the Operative
Documents.  During the construction of any Improvements or Modifications, the   
Lessee shall also maintain (or cause its general contractor to maintain)        
builders' risk insurance.  Each policy of insurance maintained by the Lessee    
pursuant to this SECTION 14.2 shall provide that all insurance proceeds in      
respect of any loss or occurrence shall be paid to and adjusted solely by the   
Lessee, except from and after the date on which the insurer receives written    
notice from Lessor or the Bank that a Lease Event of Default exists (and unless 
and until such insurer receives written notice from Lessor or the Bank that all 
Lease Events of Default have been cured), all losses shall be adjusted solely   
by, and all insurance proceeds shall be paid solely to, the Bank (or the Lessor 
if the Wolverine/Bank Loan and Matisse/Bank Loan have been fully paid) for      
application pursuant to ARTICLE XV hereof.                                      

      14.3.     COVERAGE. (a) The Lessee shall furnish the Lessor, Matisse
and the Bank with certificates showing the insurance required under SECTIONS    
14.1 and 14.2 to be in effect and naming the Lessor, Matisse and the Bank as    
additional insureds and, with respect to the insurance required under SECTION   
14.2, loss payees, and showing the mortgagee endorsement required by SECTION    
14.3(c). All such insurance shall be at the cost and expense of the Lessee.     
Such certificates shall include a provision for thirty (30) days' advance       
written notice by the insurer to the Lessor, Matisse and the Bank in the event  
of cancellation of or any significant reduction in the coverage provided by such
insurance.                                                                      

       (b)  The Lessee agrees that the insurance policy or policies required
by SECTIONS 14.2(a) and 14.2(b) shall include a so-called "Waiver of Subrogation
Clause".  The Lessee hereby waives any and all such rights against the Lessor,  
Matisse and the Bank to the extent of payments made to any of them under such   
policies.  The Lessor hereby waives all such rights against the Lessee to the   
extent of payments made to the Lessor under any of such policies.

 (c)  All such insurance shall be written by reputable insurance
companies that are financially sound and solvent and otherwise reasonably       
appropriate considering the amount and type of insurance being provided by such 
companies.  Any insurance company selected by the Lessee which is rated in      
Best's Insurance Guide or any successor thereto (or if there be none, an        
organization having a similar national reputation) shall have a general         
policyholder rating of "A" and a financial rating of at least 12 or be otherwise
acceptable to the Bank.  All insurance policies required by SECTION 14.2 shall  
include a standard form mortgagee endorsement in favor of the Bank and Matisse  
as their interests may appear.                                                  

       (d)  The Lessor shall not carry separate insurance concurrent in kind
or form or contributing in the event of loss with any insurance required under  
this ARTICLE XIV except that the Lessor may carry separate liability insurance  
so long as (i) the Lessee's insurance is designated as primary and in no event  
excess or contributory to any insurance the Lessor may have in force which would
apply to a loss covered under the Lessee's policy and (ii) each such insurance  
policy will not cause the Lessee's insurance required under this ARTICLE XIV to 
be subject to a coinsurance exception of any kind.                              

   (e)  The Lessee shall pay as they become due all premiums for the
insurance required by SECTION 14.1 and SECTION 14.2, and shall renew or replace 
each policy prior to the expiration date thereof.  Throughout the Term, at the  
time each of the Lessee's insurance policies is renewed (but in no event less   
frequently than once each year), the Lessee shall deliver to the Lessor, Matisse
and the Bank certificates of insurance evidencing that all insurance required by
this ARTICLE XIV is being maintained by the Lessee with respect to the Property 
and is in effect.                                                               

    (f)  The Lessee hereby waives, releases and discharges the Lessor,
Matisse and the Bank and their agents and employees from all claims whatsoever  
arising out of loss, claim, expense or damage to or destruction covered or      
coverable by insurance required under this ARTICLE XIV notwithstanding that such
loss, claim, expense or damage may have been caused by the Lessor, Matisse or   
the Bank or any of their agents or employees, and, as among Lessee, the Lessor, 
Matisse and the Bank and their agents and employees, the Lessee agrees to look  
to the insurance coverage only in the event of such loss.                       

        (g)  WARNING:  UNLESS LESSEE PROVIDES LESSOR AND BANK WITH EVIDENCE OF
THE INSURANCE COVERAGE AS REQUIRED BY THE OPERATIVE DOCUMENTS, LESSOR OR BANK   
MAY PURCHASE INSURANCE AT LESSEE'S EXPENSE TO PROTECT LESSOR'S INTEREST.  THIS  
INSURANCE MAY, BUT NEED NOT, ALSO PROTECT LESSEE'S INTEREST.  IF THE COLLATERAL 
BECOMES DAMAGED, THE COVERAGE LESSOR OR BANK PURCHASES MAY NOT PAY ANY CLAIM    
LESSEE MAKES OR ANY CLAIM MADE AGAINST LESSEE.  LESSEE MAY LATER CANCEL THIS    
COVERAGE BY PROVIDING EVIDENCE THAT LESSEE HAS OBTAINED THE REQUIRED PROPERTY   
COVERAGE ELSEWHERE.  LESSEE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF ANY INSURANCE        
PURCHASED BY LESSOR OR BANK.  THE COST OF THIS INSURANCE MAY BE ADDED TO        
LESSEE'S CONTRACT OR LOAN BALANCE.  IF THE COST IS ADDED TO LESSEE'S CONTRACT OR
LOAN BALANCE, THE INTEREST RATE ON THE UNDERLYING CONTRACT OR LOAN WILL

APPLY TO THIS ADDED AMOUNT.  THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF COVERAGE MAY BE THE DATE     
LESSEE'S PRIOR COVERAGE LAPSED OR THE DATE LESSEE FAILED TO PROVIDE PROOF OF    
COVERAGE.  THE COVERAGE LESSOR OR BANK PURCHASES MAY BE CONSIDERABLY MORE       
EXPENSIVE THAN INSURANCE LESSEE CAN OBTAIN ON ITS OWN AND MAY NOT SATISFY ANY   
NEED FOR PROPERTY DAMAGE COVERAGE OR ANY MANDATORY LIABILITY INSURANCE          
REQUIREMENTS IMPOSED BY APPLICABLE LAW.                                         

      ARTICLE XV

       15.1.     CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION. (a) Subject to the provisions of
this ARTICLE XV and ARTICLE XVI (in the event the Lessee delivers, or is        
obligated to deliver, a Termination Notice), and prior to the occurrence and    
continuation of a Lease Event of Default, the Lessee shall be entitled to       
receive (and the Lessor shall pay over to the Lessee, if received by the Lessor,
and hereby irrevocably assigns to the Lessee all of the Lessor's right, title   
and interest in) any award, compensation or insurance proceeds to which the     
Lessee or the Lessor may become entitled by reason of their respective interests
in the Property (i) if all or a portion of the Property is damaged or destroyed 
in whole or in part by a Casualty or (ii) if the use, access, occupancy,        
easement rights or title to the Property or any part thereof, is the subject of 
a Condemnation; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, if a Lease Event of Default shall have       
occurred and be continuing, such award, compensation or insurance proceeds shall
be paid directly to the Bank or, if received by the Lessee, shall be held in    
trust for the Bank, and shall be paid over by the Lessee to the Bank and held in
accordance with the succeeding terms of this PARAGRAPH (A).  If, contrary to    
such provision, while any Lease Event of Default is continuing, any such award, 
compensation or insurance proceeds are paid to the Lessor or the Lessee rather  
than to the Bank, the Lessor and the Lessee, as the case may be, hereby agree to
transfer any such payment to the Bank.  All amounts held by the Lessor or the   
Bank when a Lease Event of Default exists hereunder on account of any award,    
compensation or insurance proceeds either paid directly to the Lessor or the    
Bank or turned over to the Lessor or the Bank shall either be (i) paid to the   
Lessee for the repair of damage caused by such Casualty or Condemnation in      
accordance with PARAGRAPH (e) of this SECTION 15.1, or (ii) applied to the      
purchase price of the Property on the Termination Date, with any Excess Proceeds
being payable to the Lessee.  Amounts paid to the Bank on account of any such   
award, compensation or insurance proceeds shall be delivered by the Bank        
pursuant to the Investment Collateral Security Agreement, but such amounts so   
paid to the Bank shall not reduce in any event the amount of Pledged Collateral 
otherwise required to be maintained thereunder.                                 

       (b)  The Lessee may appear in any proceeding to negotiate, prosecute,
adjust or appeal any claim for any award, compensation or insurance payment on  
account of any such Casualty or Condemnation and shall pay all expenses thereof.
At the Lessee's reasonable request, and at the Lessee's sole cost and expense,  
the Lessor, Matisse and the Bank shall participate in any such proceeding,      
action, negotiation, prosecution or adjustment including, but not limited to,   
taking all such actions and executing such documents consistent with the        
Operative Documents as Lessee shall reasonably request.  The Lessor and the     
Lessee agree that

this Lease shall control the rights of the Lessor and the Lessee in and to any  
such award, compensation or insurance payment.                                  

        (c)  If the Lessor or the Lessee shall receive notice of a Casualty or
of an actual, pending or threatened Condemnation of the Property or any interest
therein, the Lessor or the Lessee, as the case may be, shall give notice thereof
to the other and to the Bank promptly after the receipt of such notice.         

        (d)  In the event of a Casualty or receipt of notice of a Condemnation
by the Lessee or the Lessor, the Lessee may deliver to the Lessor, Matisse and  
the Bank a Termination Notice with respect to the Property pursuant to SECTION  
16.1. If the Lessee does not deliver a Termination Notice within ninety (90)    
days after such occurrence, then this Lease shall (subject to the terms and     
conditions thereof) remain in full force and effect, and the Lessee shall, at   
the Lessee's sole cost and expense, promptly and diligently restore the Property
pursuant to PARAGRAPH (e) of this SECTION 15.1 and otherwise in accordance with 
this Lease.  If the Lessee delivers a Termination Notice within ninety (90) days
after such occurrence, a Significant Event shall irrevocably be deemed to have  
occurred with respect to the Property, and, in such event, the Lessee shall     
purchase the Property pursuant to ARTICLE XVI hereof.                           

    (e)  If pursuant to this SECTION 15.1 this Lease shall continue in
full force and effect following a Casualty or Condemnation, the Lessee shall, at
its sole cost and expense (and, without limitation, if any award, compensation  
or insurance payment is not sufficient to restore the Property in accordance    
with this paragraph, the Lessee shall pay the shortfall), promptly and          
diligently repair any damage to the Property caused by such Casualty or         
Condemnation in conformity with the requirements of SECTIONS 10.1 AND 11.1 using
the as-built Plans and Specifications for the Property (as modified to give     
effect to any subsequent Modifications, any Condemnation affecting the Property 
and all applicable Requirements of Law) so as to restore the Property to at     
least the same condition, operation, function and value as existed immediately  
prior to such Casualty or Condemnation.  In the event of such restoration, title
to the restored Property shall remain with the Lessor.                          

       (f)  In no event shall a Casualty or Condemnation affect the Lessee's
obligations to pay Rent pursuant to SECTION 3.1 or to perform its obligations   
and pay any amounts due on the Expiration Date or pursuant to ARTICLES XIX AND  
XX, except in compliance with ARTICLE XVI.                                      

        (g)  Any Excess Proceeds received by the Lessor or the Bank in respect
of a Casualty or Condemnation shall be turned over to the Lessee, provided that 
no Lease Event of Default or Lease Default has occurred and is continuing.  Any 
Excess Proceeds which are not turned over to the Lessee due to the existence of 
a Lease Event of Default or a Lease Default shall be applied against the        
Lessee's obligations under the Lease.                                           

15.2.     ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS.                              

     (a)  Promptly upon the Lessee's actual knowledge of the presence of
Hazardous Substances in any portion of the Property in concentrations and       
conditions that constitute a

Hazardous Condition, the Lessee shall notify the Lessor in writing of such      
condition.  In the event of such Hazardous Condition, the Lessee shall, not     
later than thirty (30) days after the Lessee has actual knowledge of such       
Hazardous Condition, deliver to Lessor a written action plan identifying the    
general investigatory actions which Lessee, after consultation with reputable   
professionals, plans to undertake, in order to determine the appropriate        
measures for remediation of such Hazardous Condition.  If such Hazardous        
Condition is a Significant Event, Lessee shall deliver to the Lessor and the    
Bank a Responsible Officer's Certificate and a Termination Notice with respect  
to the Property pursuant to SECTION 16.1, or, if such Hazardous Condition is not
a Significant Event, at the Lessee's sole cost and expense, promptly and        
diligently commence and complete Response Actions necessary to investigate,     
remove, clean up or remediate the Hazardous Condition in accordance with the    
terms of SECTION 9.1. If the Lessee does not deliver a Termination Notice with  
respect to the Property pursuant to SECTION 16.1, the Lessee shall, upon        
completion of Response Actions by the Lessee, cause to be prepared by an        
environmental consultant reasonably acceptable to the Lessor and the Bank a     
report describing the Hazardous Condition and the Response Actions taken by the 
Lessee (or its agents) for such Hazardous Condition, and a statement by the     
consultant that the Hazardous Condition has been remedied in compliance with    
applicable Environmental Law.  Each such Hazardous Condition shall be remedied  
prior to the Expiration Date.  Nothing in this ARTICLE XV shall reduce or limit 
the Lessee's obligations under SECTION 13 OF THE PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT.       

        (b)  ENVIRONMENTAL COVENANTS.  During the Term, Lessee shall not cause
or permit the Property to be in violation of, or do anything or permit anything 
to be done which will subject the Property to any remedial obligations under,   
any Environmental Laws, including without limitation CERCLA and RCRA, assuming  
disclosure to the applicable governmental authorities of all relevant facts,    
conditions and circumstances pertaining to the Property, and Lessee shall       
promptly notify Lessor in writing of any existing, pending or, to the knowledge 
of Lessee, threatened investigation or inquiry by any Governmental Authority in 
connection with any suspected violation of the Property under any Environmental 
Laws.  During the Term, Lessee shall not conduct or permit Hazardous Activities,
except Permitted Hazardous Substance Activities.  During the Term, Lessee shall 
keep the Property free of all Hazardous Substances (other than Permitted        
Hazardous Substances) and will remove the same (or if removal is prohibited by  
law, will take whatever action is required by law) promptly upon Lessee's       
discovery at Lessee's sole expense.  Lessee shall also diligently and without   
significant interruption prosecute the completion of any remediation plan       
referred to in clause (iii)(c) of the definition of "Significant Event."  During
the Term, in the event Lessee fails to comply with or perform any of the        
foregoing obligations concerning Hazardous Substance Activities and Hazardous   
Substances, Lessor may, in addition to any other remedies available to it, after
notifying Lessee in writing in advance of the remediation efforts Lessor        
believes are needed, cause the Property to be freed from all Hazardous          
Substances as provided above (or if removal is prohibited by law, may take      
whatever action is required by law) and take such other action as is necessary  
to cause the foregoing obligations to be met, and the cost of the removal and   
any such other action shall be a demand obligation owing by Lessee to Lessor.   
For such removal and other action, Lessee grants to Lessor and Lessor's agents  
and employees access to the Property and the license to remove Hazardous        
Substances as provided above (or if removal is prohibited by law or otherwise   
deemed inadvisable by Lessor, to take whatever action is required by law or

otherwise deemed advisable by Lessor) and take such other action as is necessary
to cause the foregoing obligations to be met.  During the Term, Lessee agrees to
submit from time to time, if reasonably requested by Lessor, a certificate of an
officer of Lessee, certifying that, except for Permitted Hazardous Substance    
Activities, the Property is not being used for, nor to Lessee's knowledge       
(except as may be described in the Environmental Report) has the Property been  
used in the past for, any Hazardous Activities.  Lessor reserves the right to   
retain an independent professional consultant to review any report prepared by  
Lessee or to conduct Lessor's own investigation to confirm whether Hazardous    
Activities or the discharge of anything into groundwater or surface water has   
occurred, but Lessor's right to reimbursement for the fees of such consultant   
shall be limited to the following circumstances:  (1) a Lease Event of Default  
shall have occurred and be continuing; (2) Lessor shall have retained the       
consultant to establish the condition of the Property just prior to any         
conveyance thereof or just prior to the expiration of this Lease; (3) Lessor    
shall have retained the consultant to satisfy any regulatory requirements       
applicable to Lessor or its Affiliates; or (4) Lessor shall have obtained the   
consultant because Lessor has been notified of a violation of Environmental Laws
concerning the Property or Lessor otherwise reasonably believes that Lessee has 
not complied with this section.  Subject to SECTION 27.1, Lessee grants to      
Lessor and to Lessor's agents, employees, consultants and contractors the right 
during reasonable business hours and after reasonable advance written notice to 
enter upon the Property to inspect the Property and to perform such tests as are
reasonably necessary or appropriate to conduct a review or investigation of     
Hazardous Substances on, or discharged into groundwater or surface water from,  
the Property.  Lessee shall promptly reimburse Lessor for the cost of any such  
inspections and tests, but only when the inspections and tests are:  (1) ordered
by Lessor after a Lease Event of Default has incurred and is continuing; (2)    
ordered by Lessor to establish the condition of the Property just prior to any  
conveyance thereof or just prior to the expiration of this Lease; (3) ordered by
Lessor to satisfy any regulatory requirements applicable to Lessor or its       
Affiliates; or (4) ordered because Lessor has been notified of a violation of   
Environmental Laws concerning the Property or Lessor otherwise reasonably       
believes that Lessee has not complied with this SECTION 15.2.  During the Term, 
Lessee shall immediately advise Lessor of (i) Lessee's discovery of any event or
circumstance which would render any of the representations contained in this    
Lease inaccurate in any material respect if made at the time of such discovery, 
(ii) any remedial action taken by Lessee in response to any (A) Hazardous       
Substances other than Permitted Hazardous Substances on, under or about the     
Property or (B) any claim for damages resulting from Hazardous Substance        
Activities, and (iii) Lessee's discovery of any occurrence or condition on any  
real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the Property (but without imposing
upon Lessee any duty to investigate such other real property) which creates a   
material risk of causing the Property or any part thereof to be subject to      
significant ownership, occupancy, transferability or use restrictions under     
Environmental Laws or that could give rise to any claim for damages resulting   
from Hazardous Substance Activities.  In such event, Lessee shall delivery to   
Lessor within thirty (30) days after Lessor's request, a preliminary written    
environmental plan setting forth a general description of the action that Lessee
proposes to take with respect thereto to bring the Property into compliance with
Environmental Laws, including, without limitation, any proposed corrective work,
the estimated cost and time of completion, the name of the contractor and a copy
of the construction contract, if any, and such additional data, instruments,    
documents, agreements or other materials or information as Lessor may reasonably
request.  Lessee shall thereafter diligently and

continuously pursue the remediation of the Property in strict compliance with   
all Environmental Laws and shall inform Lessor monthly as to the status of such 
remediation.                                                                    

        15.3.     NOTICE OF ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS.  Promptly, but in any event
within thirty (30) Business Days from the date the Lessee has actual knowledge  
thereof, the Lessee shall provide to the Lessor written notice of any material  
pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding involving any Environmental   
Law, any Release, any Hazardous Activity or any Hazardous Condition on or in    
connection with the Property.  All such notices shall describe in reasonable    
detail the nature of the claim, action or proceeding and the Lessee's proposed  
response thereto.  In addition, the Lessee shall provide to the Lessor, within  
thirty (30) Business Days of receipt, copies of all material written            
communications with any Governmental Authority or any other person relating to  
any Environmental Law, any Release, any Hazardous Activity or any Hazardous     
Condition in connection with the Property or any claim relating thereto other   
than in relation to Permitted Hazardous Substance Archives.

(i) the Lessee or the Lessor receives notice of a Condemnation, and the Lessee  
delivers to the Lessor a Responsible Officer's Certificate that such            
Condemnation is a Significant Condemnation; or (ii) a Casualty occurs, and the  
Lessee delivers to the Lessor a Responsible Officer's Certificate that such     
Casualty is a Significant Casualty; or (iii) a Hazardous Condition occurs or is 
discovered and the Lessee delivers to the Lessor a Responsible Officer's        
Certificate stating that, in the reasonable, good faith judgment of the Lessee, 
the same is a Significant Event, then, the Lessee shall, simultaneously with the
delivery of the Responsible Officer's Certificate pursuant to the preceding     
CLAUSES (i), (ii) OR (iii), deliver a written notice in the form described in   
SECTION 16.2(A) (a "TERMINATION NOTICE").                                       

      16.2.     PROCEDURES.  (a)  A Termination Notice shall contain:  (i)
notice of termination of this Lease with respect to the entire Property on a    
date that is no later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the occurrence of
the applicable event described in CLAUSES (I), (II) OR (III) of SECTION 16.1    
(the "TERMINATION DATE"), such termination to be effective upon the Lessee's    
payment of the Asset Termination Value and accrued Rents; and (ii) a binding and
irrevocable agreement of the Lessee to pay the Asset Termination Value and      
accrued Rents and purchase the Property on the Termination Date.

       16.3.     TERMINATION BY THE LESSOR IN CERTAIN EVENTS.  If the Lessor
reasonably determines that any change in, or change in the interpretation of,   
any Requirements of Law after the date hereof has or would result in Lessor     
being unable to continue to hold legal or beneficial title to all or any portion
of the Property or, except as provided in SECTION 16.4 hereof, subject the Bank 
to onerous regulations or onerous liability on account thereof (to the extent   
not covered by Lessee's indemnification obligation under SECTION 13 OF THE      
PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT), the Lessor may elect to terminate this Lease by       
delivering a Termination Notice with respect to the Lease to Matisse, the Bank, 
and the Lessee, such termination to be effective on the termination date        
specified therein (which shall be no earlier than one hundred and eighty (180)  
days after the date such Termination Notice is given).  In the event the Lessor 
exercises its termination option, the Lessee may exercise the Remarketing Option
provided in SECTION 22.1 hereof by giving notice to the Lessor within thirty    
(30) Business Days of receipt of the notice from the Lessor.  If the Lessee does
not exercise its Remarketing Option, the Lessee shall be obligated to purchase, 
or arrange for an Affiliate or other third party to purchase, the Property in   
accordance with SECTION 20.2 hereof on such specified termination date for the  
purchase price set forth therein.                                               

      16.4.     PURCHASE OF PROPERTY.  Upon receipt of any notice pursuant
to SECTION 15.2 OR 15.3, the Lessor, Matisse or the Bank, at the Lessee's       
expense, shall have the right to select an independent environmental consultant 
acceptable to the Lessee, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, to determine the estimated cost of conducting any clean-up or          
remediation required as a result of the Hazardous Condition disclosed in such   
notice.  If any such Hazardous Condition is a Significant Event, the Lessor     
shall, at the direction of the Bank, by written notice require the Lessee to    
purchase, or arrange for an Affiliate or other third party to purchase, the     
Property by delivering a Termination Notice pursuant to SECTION 16.1 hereof and 
following the requirements of SECTION 16.2 hereof.  Such Termination Notice     
delivered by the Lessor shall obligate the Lessee to pay the Asset Termination  
Value and Rents and purchase the Property on the Termination Date.              

      ARTICLE XVII

     17.1 LEASE EVENTS OF DEFAULT.  The occurrence of any one or more of
the following events (whether such event shall be voluntary or involuntary or   
shall arise by operation of law or pursuant to any Governmental Action) shall   
constitute a "LEASE EVENT OF DEFAULT":                                          

    (a)  the Lessee shall fail to make payment, in accordance with the
terms hereof and the Consent to Assignment of (i) any Basic Rent (other 
than a payment of Basic Rent due on the Expiration Date or Termination  
Date) within five (5) Business Days after the same has become due and   
   payable or (ii) Basic Rent, Supplemental Rent, Purchase Option Price, Asset
 Termination Value or Residual Value Guarantee Amount or other amounts due
on the Expiration Date or the Termination Date, including, without      
  limitation, amounts due pursuant to SECTIONS 16.2, 16.3, 16.4, 20.1, 20.2,
20.3 OR 22.1, on the date the same has become due and payable;

     (b)  the Lessee shall fail to make payment of any Supplemental Rent
other than Supplemental Rent due on the Expiration Date or other

representation or warranty given by Lessee set forth in this Lease or in
  any other Operative Document or in any document entered into in connection
   herewith or therewith or in any document, certificate or financial or other
  statement delivered by Lessee pursuant hereto or thereto shall be false or
 inaccurate in any material respect, and such failure or misrepresentation
   or breach of warranty shall remain uncured for a period of thirty (30) days
  after receipt of written notice thereof; PROVIDED, that if such failure to
  perform is not capable of being cured within such period but is capable of
being cured within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such default
 and the Lessee is  proceeding diligently to cure such default, the Lessee
 may request an additional period (not to exceed ninety (90) days from the
date of such default) to cure such default, which extended cure period  
   shall be granted by the Lessor if the Bank in its sole discretion consents;

     (f)  the Lessee shall (i) admit in writing its inability to pay its

  filed against the Lessee and not dismissed within sixty (60) days from the
 date of filing, or a court of competent jurisdiction shall enter an order
  or decree appointing, without the consent of the Lessee, a receiver of the

   Section 4007 of ERISA) in respect of, or to cause a trustee to be appointed
  to administer any Material Plan; or (iv) a condition shall exist by reason
of which the PBGC would be entitled to obtain a decree adjudicating that
 any Material Plan must be terminated; or (v) there shall occur a complete
or partial withdrawal from, or a default, within the meaning of Section

 Subsidiary of Lessee and such judgments, decrees or orders shall continue

without Lessee's having obtained a written agreement delivered to Lessor

entitled to enforce such judgment, decrees or orders not to enforce the 
  same pending negotiations with Lessee concerning the satisfaction or other
  discharge of the same and without the same having otherwise been satisfied

and under the Operative Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement of
the obligation of the Lessee to purchase the Property as set forth in SECTION   
20.3), but subject in each case to Lessee's rights set forth in SECTION 11.1 to 
remove from the Property any and all trade fixtures, machines, equipment,       
inventory or other personal property belonging to the Lessee or third parties   
permitted under SECTION 11.1 to be removed therefrom:                           

       (a)  The Lessor may, by notice to the Lessee, terminate this Lease as
to all of the Property as of the date specified in such notice; however, (A) no 
reletting, reentry or taking of possession of the Property by the Lessor will be
construed as an election on the Lessor's part to terminate this Lease unless a  
written notice of such intention, consented to in writing by the Bank, is given 
to the Lessee, (B) notwithstanding any reletting, reentry or taking of          
possession, the Lessor may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease 
for a continuing Lease Event of Default, and (C) no act or thing done by the    
Lessor or any of its agents, representatives or employees and no agreement      
accepting a surrender of the Property shall be valid unless the same be made in 
writing, executed by the Lessor and consented to in writing by the Bank;        

      (b)  The Lessor may (i) demand that the Lessee, and the Lessee shall
upon the written demand of the Lessor, return the Property promptly to the      
Lessor in the manner and condition required hereby, and otherwise in accordance 
with all of the provisions hereof, as if the Property were being returned at the
end of the Term, and the Lessor shall not be liable for the reimbursement of the
Lessee for any costs and expenses incurred by the Lessee in connection therewith
and (ii) without prejudice to any other remedy which the Lessor may have for    
possession of the Property, and to the extent and in the manner permitted by    
Requirements of Law, enter upon the Property and take immediate possession of   
(to the exclusion of the Lessee) the Property or any part thereof and expel or  
remove the Lessee and any other Person who may be occupying the Property, by    
summary proceedings or otherwise, all without liability to the Lessee for or by 
reason of such entry or taking of possession, whether for the restoration of    
damage to property caused by such taking or otherwise and, in addition to the   
Lessor's other damages, to the extent and in the manner permitted by            
Requirements of Law with respect to remedies for breach of a real estate lease, 
the Lessee shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by the      
Lessor, Matisse and/or the Bank in connection with any reletting, including,    
without limitation, brokers' fees and all costs of any alterations or repairs   
made by the Lessor;                                                             

        (c)  The Lessor may (i) sell all or any part of the Property at public
or private sale (which private sale shall be conducted in a commercially        
reasonable manner), as the Lessor may determine, free and clear of any rights of
the Lessee and without any duty to account to the Lessee with respect to such   
action or inaction or any proceeds with respect thereto (except to the extent   
required by CLAUSE (ii) below if the Lessor shall elect to exercise its rights  
thereunder) in which event the Lessee's obligation to pay Basic Rent hereunder  
for periods commencing after the date of such sale shall be terminated or       
proportionately reduced, as the case may be; and (ii) if the Lessor shall so    
elect, demand that the Lessee pay to the Bank in accordance with Section 3.4,   
and the Lessee shall pay to the Bank in accordance with Section 3.4, on the date
of such sale, as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and not as a penalty  
(the parties agreeing that the Lessor's actual damages would be difficult to    
predict, but the aforementioned liquidated damages

for periods commencing on or after the Payment Date coinciding with such date of
sale (or, if the sale date is not a Payment Date, the Payment Date next         
preceding the date of such sale)), an amount equal to (A) the excess, if any, of
(1) the Asset Termination Value calculated as of such Payment Date (including   
all Rent due and unpaid to and including such Payment Date), over (2) the net   
proceeds of such sale, if any (that is, after deducting all costs and expenses  
incurred by the Lessor, Matisse, and the Bank incident to such conveyance,      
including, without limitation, repossession costs, brokerage commissions,       
prorations, transfer taxes, fees and expenses for counsel, title insurance fees,
survey costs, recording fees, and any repair or alteration costs); plus (B)     
interest at the Overdue Rate on the foregoing amount from such Payment Date     
until the date of payment;                                                      

    (d)  Unless the Property has been sold in its entirety, the Lessor
may, whether or not the Lessor shall have exercised or shall thereafter at any  
time exercise any of its rights under PARAGRAPH (b), or (c) of this SECTION 17.2
with respect to the Property or portions thereof, demand, by written notice to  
the Lessee specifying a date (a "TERMINATION DATE") not earlier than thirty (30)
days after the date of such notice, that the Lessee purchase, on such           
Termination Date, the Property (or the remaining portion thereof) in accordance 
with the provisions of ARTICLE XIX and SECTION 20.3;                            

    (e)  The Lessor may exercise any other right or remedy that may be
available to it under Requirements of Law, or proceed by appropriate court      
action (legal or equitable) to enforce the terms hereof or to recover damages   
for the breach hereof.  Separate suits may be brought to collect any such       
damages for any period(s), and such suits shall not in any manner prejudice the 
Lessor's right to collect any such damages for any subsequent period(s), or the 
Lessor may defer any such suit until after the expiration of the Term, in which 
event such suit shall be deemed not to have accrued until the expiration of the 
Term;                                                                           

       (f)  The Lessor may retain and apply against the Lessor's damages all
sums which the Lessor would, absent such Lease Event of Default, be required to 
pay to, or turn over to, the Lessee pursuant to the terms of this Lease;        

     (g)  In addition to the other rights and remedies set forth herein,
unless the Wolverine/Bank Loan and the Matisse/Bank Loan plus all accrued but   
unpaid interest thereon plus all then accrued but unpaid Basic Rent and         
Supplemental Rent have been paid in full, Lessor shall have the right to        
continue this Lease in effect and to enforce, by suit or otherwise, all         
covenants and conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by Lessee and  
exercise all of Lessor's rights and remedies under this Lease, including,       
without limitation, the right to recover Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent from  
Lessee as it becomes due under this Lease, even though Lessee may have breached 
this Lease and abandoned the Property.  Lessor may sue periodically to recover  
Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent from Lessee as it becomes due under this Lease,
and no action for the recovery of the same shall bar a later action for Rent or 
Supplemental Rent attributable to any later period or from pursuing any other   
remedies available under this Lease or the Requirements of Law.  Acts of        
maintenance or preservation, or efforts by Lessor or on Lessor's behalf to relet
the Property, or the appointment of a receiver upon the initiative of Lessor

to protect Lessor's interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination
of Lessee's right to possession of the Property; provided, however, that the    
foregoing enumeration shall not be construed as in any way limiting the actions 
Lessor may take without terminating Lessee's right to possession.  In           
furtherance of the rights hereby granted to Lessor, and to the extent permitted 
by law, Lessee hereby appoints Lessor its agent and attorney-in-fact, which     
appointment shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest and is irrevocable,  
with power of substitution, to enter the Property upon a Lease Event of Default 
hereunder and remove therefrom all persons and property (with the right to store
such property on the Property in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost and
risk and for the account of Lessee) and to alter the Property in such manner as 
Lessor may deem necessary or advisable so as to put the Property in good order  
and to make the same rentable and from time to time sublet the Property or any  
part thereof for such term or terms whether or not extending beyond the then    
current term of this Lease (but such sublease may provide for a new and         
successive lease to commence immediately upon the termination of this Lease), at
such rentals and upon such other terms as Lessor in its sole discretion may deem
advisable, and with the right to make alterations and repairs to the Property;  
and Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor on demand all reasonable expenses incurred by
Lessor in such subletting, and in altering, repairing and putting the Property  
in good order and condition, and in reletting the same, including fees of       
attorneys and architects, and all other reasonable expenses or commissions.     
Lessor shall be Lessee's agent and representative on the Property in respect of 
all matters arising under or in connection with any such sublease made for      
Lessee by Lessor.  Under each such sublease, Lessee shall retain the right to   
enter upon and use the Property, subject to the terms and conditions of such    
sublease and the rights of the sublessee thereunder.  Lessee further agrees to  
pay to Lessor, following the date of such subletting, to and including the date 
provided in this Lease for the expiration of the Lease Term, on the dates and   
terms otherwise set forth in this Lease, the sums of money which would have been
payable by Lessee as Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent, deducting only the net   
amount of rent, if any, which Lessor shall actually receive (after deducting    
from the gross receipts the expenses, costs and payments of Lessor which in     
accordance with the terms of this Lease would have been borne by Lessee) in the 
meantime from and by any such subletting of the Property, and Lessee hereby     
agrees to remain liable for all sums otherwise payable by Lessee under this     
Lease, including, but not limited to, the expenses of Lessor aforesaid, as well 
as for any deficiency aforesaid.  Lessor shall have the right from time to time 
to begin and maintain successive actions or other legal proceedings against     
Lessee for the recovery of such deficiency, expenses or damages, including,     
without limitation, for a sum equal to any installments of Basic Rent or        
Supplemental Rent and other sums payable hereunder, and to recover the same upon
the liability of Lessee herein provided, which liability it is expressly        
covenanted shall survive the commencement or determination of any action to     
secure possession of the Property.  Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to 
require Lessor to wait to begin such action or other legal proceedings until the
date when this Lease would have expired by limitation had there been no such    
Lease Event of Default.  Notwithstanding any such subletting without            
termination, pursuant to the terms hereof, Lessor shall retain the right to and 
may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease or Lessee's right to   
possession of the Property for any previous breach which remains uncured or for 
any subsequent breach by giving Lessee written notice thereof as herein         
provided, and in such event Lessee shall forfeit any rights or interest under   
any such sublease and thereafter the obligations of any such sublessee shall run
directly to Lessor for its own account.  Upon application by Lessor,

a receiver may be appointed to take possession of the Property, exercise all    
rights granted to Lessor as agent and attorney-in-fact for Lessee set forth in  
this SECTION 17.2(g) and apply any rentals collected from the Property as       
hereinabove provided.  No taking of possession of the Property or other act by  
Lessor as the agent and attorney-in-fact for Lessee pursuant to the foregoing   
provisions, nor any subletting by Lessor for Lessee pursuant to the foregoing   
provisions, nor any such appointment of a receiver shall constitute or be       
construed as an election by Lessor to terminate this Lease or Lessee's right to 
possession of the Property unless a written notice of such intention be given to
Lessee.                                                                         

    (h)  In the event of any termination of the Lease Term pursuant to
SECTION 17.2(a) or as permitted by law, Lessee shall quit and surrender the     
Property to Lessor, and Lessor may without further notice enter upon, reenter,  
possess and repossess the same by summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise,  
and again have, repossess and enjoy the same as if this Lease had not been made,
and in any such event neither Lessee nor any Person claiming through or under   
Lessee by virtue of any law or an order of any court shall be entitled to       
possession or to remain in possession of the Property but shall forthwith quit  
and surrender the Property, and Lessor shall, notwithstanding any other         
provision of this Lease, be entitled to recover from Lessee the aggregate of all
amounts Lessor is permitted to recover from Lessee, including:                  

          (i)  the worth at the time of award, as computed below, of the
unpaid Rent (including, without limitation, Basic Rent and Supplemental 
Rent) which had been earned at the time of termination of this Lease;   

          (ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the
unpaid Rent (including, without limitation, Basic Rent and Supplemental 
Rent) which would have been earned after the time of termination of this
 Lease until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that
Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided;                       

           (iii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the
unpaid Rent (including, without limitation, Basic Rent and Supplemental 
Rent) for the balance of the term after the time of award, based on the 
   assumption that the rate used in calculating Rent over the remainder of the
Lease equals the rate then being used, exceeds the amount of such rental
loss for said balance of the term that Lessee proves could be reasonably
avoided; and                                                            

            (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all the
   detriment proximately caused by Lessee's failure to perform its obligations
under this Lease including without limitation any loss or damage arising
 out of the failure of Lessor to receive the benefit of the performance by
 Lessee of any obligation to purchase the Property under the provisions of
this Lease.  Lessee acknowledges and agrees that, in reliance upon this 
Lease and Lessee's covenants and agreements hereunder and the           
   creditworthiness and financial condition of Lessee, Lessor has entered into
the transactions described in the Participation Agreement to finance the
costs of purchasing the Land Interest and constructing the Financed     
Improvements and, in connection with

   such financing transactions, Lessor has incurred and will continue to incur
indebtedness and liabilities under and pursuant to the Participation    
Agreement and the other Operative Documents.  Lessee acknowledges and   
 agrees that a Lease Event of Default will cause Lessor substantial damage
and detriment due to its obligations and liabilities under the          
Participation Agreement and the other Operative Documents, including,   
 without limitation, the failure of Lessor to be fully compensated for the
  Lease Advances made to Lessee.  Accordingly, in order to compensate Lessor
for all detriment proximately caused by Lessee's failure to-perform its 
obligations under this Lease, Lessor shall be permitted to recover from 
 Lessee, without duplication, all other amounts necessary for Lessor to be
fully compensated for all of the Lease Advances made to the Lessee.     

    The "worth at the time of award" of the amounts referred to in the
foregoing SUBSECTIONS 17.2(h)(i) AND (ii) shall be computed by allowing interest
at the Overdue Rate (or at the highest rate permitted by Requirements of Law,   
whichever is less) on each rental installment from the date the same was due    
hereunder to the time of award.  The "worth at the time of award" of the amount 
referred to in the foregoing SUBPARAGRAPH (iii) shall be computed by discounting
such amount at the then prime rate of Bank.  As used herein, the term "time of  
award" shall mean either (A) the date upon which Lessee pays to Lessor the      
amount recoverable by Lessor as hereinabove set forth or (B) the date of entry  
of any determination, order or judgment of any court, other legally constituted 
body, or any arbitrator(s), determining the amount recoverable, whichever first 
occurs.  If the time of award is determined under clause (B), above, then the   
amount recoverable by Lessor hereunder shall bear interest from the time of     
award until paid at the Overdue Rate (or at the highest rate permitted by       
Requirements of Law, whichever is less).  Nothing herein contained shall limit  
or prejudice the right of Lessor, and Lessor is hereby expressly granted the    
right, in any bankruptcy or reorganization or insolvency proceedings, to prove  
for and obtain as damages by reason of such termination, an amount equal to the 
maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law whether such amount shall be      
greater or less than the amounts referred to above.  The remedy provided for in 
this SECTION 17.2(h) shall not be applicable if the Wolverine/Bank Loan and the 
Matisse/Bank Loan plus all accrued but unpaid interest thereon plus all then    
accrued but unpaid Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent have been paid in full.     

      (i)  Lessor shall have the right to obtain appointment of a receiver
by any court of competent jurisdiction without further notice to Lessee, which  
receiver shall be authorized and empowered to enter upon and take possession of 
the Property, including all personal property used upon or in connection with   
the real property herein conveyed, to let the Property, to receive all the      
rents, issues and profits, if any, which may be due or become due in respect to 
the leasing of the Property to another party, and apply such rents, issues and  
profits, after payment of all necessary charges and expenses to reduction of the
Obligations in such order, proportion and priority as Lessor may elect.  At the 
option of Lessor, the receiver shall accomplish entry and taking possession of  
the Property by actual entry and possession or by notice to Lessee.  The        
receiver so appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction shall be empowered to
issue receiver's certificates for funds advanced by Lessor for the purpose of   
protecting the value of the Property as security for the Obligations.  The      
amounts evidenced by

receiver's certificates shall bear interest at the Overdue Rate and may be added
to the Obligations if Lessee or a junior lienholder purchases the Property at   
the trustee's sale.                                                             

  (j)  Lessor may exercise all other rights and remedies available
against Lessee under the Operative Documents or under applicable law, including,
without limitation, all rights and remedies under the other Lease-Related       
Documents.                                                                      

        17.3.     WAIVER OF CERTAIN RIGHTS.  If this Lease shall be terminated
pursuant to SECTION 17.2, the Lessee waives, to the fullest extent permitted by 
law, (a) any notice of re-entry or the institution of legal proceedings to      
obtain re-entry or possession; (b) any right of redemption, re-entry or         
repossession; (c) the benefit of any laws now or hereafter in force exempting   
property from liability for rent or for debt or limiting the Lessor with respect
to the election of remedies; and (d) any other rights which might otherwise     
limit or modify any of the Lessor's rights or remedies under this ARTICLE XVII. 

   17.4.     POWER OF SALE AND FORECLOSURE.  Subject to ARTICLE XXII
below, in the event that a court of competent jurisdiction rules that this Lease
constitutes a mortgage, deed of trust or other secured financing, and subject to
the availability of such remedy under Requirements of Law, then the Lessor and  
the Lessee agree that the Lessee hereby mortgages to Lessor and grants to Lessor
a Lien against the Property WITH POWER OF SALE, for the purpose of securing all 
of Lessee's obligations hereunder and under the Operative Documents (including, 
without limitation, the payment of Basic Rent, Supplemental Rent and the Asset  
Termination Value) (collectively, the "Obligations") and that this Lease        
constitutes a fixture filing pursuant to the UCC with respect to any goods      
included within the Property which are now or hereafter become fixtures.  Upon  
the occurrence of any Lease Event of Default, the Lessor shall have the power   
and authority, to the extent provided by law, to exercise the following rights  
and remedies:                                                                   

(a)  To declare the Obligations immediately due and payable;  

    (b)  With or without notice, and without releasing Lessee from any
obligation hereunder, to cure any default of Lessee and, in connection          
therewith, to enter upon the Property and to perform such acts and things as    
Lessor deems necessary or desirable to inspect, investigate, assess and protect 
the Property, including, without limitation of any of its other rights:  to     
appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the Property 
or the rights or powers of Lessor hereunder; to pay, purchase, contest or       
compromise any encumbrance, charge, Lien or claim of Lien which, in the judgment
of Lessor, is prior or superior hereto, the judgment of Lessor being conclusive 
as between the parties hereto; to pay any premiums or charges with respect to   
insurance required to be carried hereunder; and to employ counsel, accountants, 
contractors and other appropriate persons to assist Lessor;                     

    (c)  To commence and maintain an action or actions in any court of
competent jurisdiction to foreclose this instrument as a mortgage or a deed of  
trust or to obtain specific enforcement of the covenants of Lessee hereunder,   
and Lessee agrees that such covenants shall be specifically enforceable by      
injunction or any other appropriate equitable remedy and that for the

purposes of any suit brought hereunder, Lessee waives the defense of laches and 
any applicable statute of limitations;                                          

        (d)  Lessor or its employees, acting by themselves or through a court-
appointed receiver, may enter upon, possess, manage, operate, dispose of and    
contract to dispose of the Property or any part thereof; negotiate with         
governmental authorities with respect to the Property's environmental compliance
and remedial measures; contract for goods and services, hire agents, employees  
and counsel, make repairs, alterations and improvements to the Property         
necessary, in Lessor's judgment, to protect or enhance the security hereof; to  
incur obligations ordinarily incurred by owners of property (without any        
personal obligation on the part of the receiver); and/or to take any and all    
other actions which may be necessary or desirable to comply with Lessee's       
obligations hereunder and under the Operative Documents.  All sums realized by  
Lessor under this SECTION 17.4(d), less all costs and expenses incurred by it   
under this SECTION 17.4(d), including attorneys, fees, and less such sums as    
Lessor deems appropriate as a reserve to meet future expenses under this SECTION
17.4(d), shall be applied on any obligations secured hereby in such order as    
Lessor shall determine.  Neither application of said sums to said indebtedness  
nor any other action taken by Lessor under this SECTION 17.4(d) shall cure or   
waive any Lease Event of Default or notice of default hereunder or nullify the  
effect of any such notice of default.  Lessor, or any employee or agent of      
Lessor, or a receiver appointed by a court, may take any action or proceeding   
hereunder without regard to (i) the adequacy of the security for the            
indebtedness secured hereunder, (ii) the existence of a declaration that the    
indebtedness secured hereby has been declared immediately due and payable, or   
(iii) the filing of a notice of default; or                                     

        (e)  To execute a written notice of such Lease Event of Default and of
its election to cause the Property to be sold to satisfy the Obligations secured
hereby, Lessor shall give and record such notice as the law then requires as a  
condition precedent to the exercise of the power of sale.  As further security  
for its obligations hereunder, Lessee hereby grants to Transnation Title        
Insurance Company, as trustee (together with all successor trustees, the        
"TRUSTEE"), for the benefit of the Lessor and its successors and assigns, as    
beneficiary, IN TRUST, WITH POWER OF SALE, all of Lessee's right, title and     
interest in and to the Property, and, upon the occurrence of a Lease Event of   
Default, as an alternative to exercising the power of sale granted herein to    
Lessor, Lessor shall have the power and authority to cause Trustee to sell the  
Property by notifying Trustee of that election and depositing with Trustee this 
instrument and receipts and evidence of expenditures made and secured hereby as 
Trustee may reasonably require, whereupon the Trustee shall give and record such
notice as the law then requires as a condition precedent to the exercise of a   
power of sale.  THE POWER OF SALE HAS BEEN GRANTED IN THIS INSTRUMENT; THE POWER
OF SALE MAY ALLOW LESSOR TO CAUSE THE PROPERTY TO BE SOLD WITHOUT A JUDICIAL    
HEARING.  With the prior written consent of the Bank, Lessor may, from time to  
time, substitute a successor or successors to any Trustee named herein or acting
hereunder in accordance with any statutory procedure for such substitution.     

             When the minimum period of time required by law after such notice
has elapsed, Lessor (or at Lessor's election or if otherwise required by        
applicable law, the Trustee), without notice to or demand upon Lessee except as 
otherwise required by law, shall sell the

Property at the time and place of sale fixed by it in the notice of sale and in 
such order as Lessor (or at Lessor's election or if otherwise required by       
applicable law, the Trustee) may determine, at public auction to the highest    
bidder for cash, in lawful money of the United States, payable at time of sale. 
Lessor may credit bid the Obligations hereby secured against the price payable  
at such sale.  If the Property consists of several lots, parcels, or items of   
property, Lessor may: (i) designate the order in which such lots, parcels, or   
items shall be offered for sale or sold, or (ii) elect to sell such lots,       
parcels or items through a single sale, through two or more successive sales, or
in any other manner Lessor deems in its best interest.  Lessee shall have no    
right to direct the order in which the Property is sold.  Lessor may postpone   
sale of all or any portion of the Property by public announcement at such time  
and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter may postpone such sale by   
public announcement at such time fixed by the preceding postponement.  Lessor   
(or at Lessor's election or if otherwise required by applicable law, the        
Trustee) shall deliver to the purchaser at such sale a deed conveying the       
Property or portion thereof so sold, but without any covenant or warranty,      
express or implied.  The recitals in such deed of any matters or facts shall be 
conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof.  Any person, including Lessor or  
Lessee may purchase at such sale.                                               

            In connection with any sale or sales hereunder, Lessor may elect
to treat any of the Property which consists of a right in action or which is    
property that can be severed from the Land or any Improvements thereon without  
causing structural damage thereto as if the same were personal property or a    
fixture, as the case may be, and dispose of the same in accordance with         
Requirements of Law, separate and apart from the sale of real property.  Any    
sale of any personal property or fixtures hereunder shall be conducted in any   
manner permitted by the UCC.                                                    

         After deducting all costs, fees and expenses of Lessor and of
this trust, including all costs of evidence of title and attorneys' fees in     
connection with sale, Lessor shall apply the proceeds of sale to payment of all 
sums so expended under the terms hereof not then repaid; the payment of all     
other sums then secured hereby; and the remainder, if any, to the person or     
persons legally entitled thereto;                                               

        (g)  To resort to and realize upon the Property and any other security
now or hereafter held by Lessor in such order and manner as Lessor may, in its  
sole discretion, determine; and resort to any or all such security may be taken 
concurrently or successively and in one or several consolidated or independent  
judicial actions or lawfully taken non-judicial proceedings, or both;           

    (h)  All costs and expenses incurred by Lessor pursuant to SECTION
17.4 (including without limitation court costs, consultants' fees and reasonable
attorneys' fees, whether incurred in litigation or not and whether before or    
after judgment) shall be added to the Obligations and shall bear interest at the
loan rate until demand for reimbursement, then at the Overdue Rate, from the    
date of expenditure until said sums have been paid.  Lessor shall be entitled to
bid, at the sale of the Property held pursuant to SUBSECTION 17.4(e) above, the 
amount of said costs, expenses and interest in addition to the amount of the    
other Obligations hereby secured as a credit bid, which shall be deemed the     
equivalent of cash.

      (i)  Lessee and any Person claiming through Lessee hereby waives any
right to require that any security given hereunder or under any other Operative 
Document securing the Obligations be marshalled and further waives any right    
otherwise available in respect to marshalling of assets which secure any        
Obligation or to require Lessor or any other Person to pursue its remedies      
against any such assets.                                                        

        17.5. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE; RIGHTS OF BANK.  The remedies here provided
shall be cumulative and in addition to (and not in limitation of) any other     
remedies available at law, equity or otherwise, including, without limitation,  
any mortgage foreclosure remedies.  Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that the      
rights and remedies of Lessor under this ARTICLE XVII have been assigned to and 
are exercisable exclusively by or at the direction of the Bank pursuant to the  
Assignment of Lease-Related Documents.                                          

     ARTICLE XVIII

        18.1.     THE LESSOR'S RIGHT TO CURE THE LESSEE'S LEASE DEFAULTS.  The
Lessor, without waiving or releasing any obligation, Lease Default or Lease     
Event of Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) remedy any Lease    
Default or Lease Event of Default (other than those described in SECTIONS       
17.1(d), (f), (g), (h), (i) AND (j)) for the account and at the sole cost and   
expense of the Lessee, including the failure by the Lessee to maintain the      
insurance required by ARTICLE XIV, and may, to the fullest extent permitted by  
law, and notwithstanding any right of quiet enjoyment in favor of the Lessee,   
enter upon the Property for such purpose and take all such action thereon as may
be necessary or appropriate therefor.  No such entry shall be deemed an eviction
of the Lessee.  All out-of-pocket costs and expenses so incurred (including fees
and expenses of counsel), together with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate    
from the date on which such sums or expenses are paid by the Lessor, shall be   
paid by the Lessee to the Lessor on demand, as Supplemental Rent.               

     ARTICLE XIX

   19.1.     PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE LESSEE'S TERMINATION OF THIS
LEASE OR EXERCISE OF PURCHASE OPTION OR OBLIGATION AND CONVEYANCE UPON          
REMARKETING AND CONVEYANCE UPON CERTAIN OTHER EVENTS.                           

       (a)  In connection with any termination of this Lease pursuant to the
terms of ARTICLE XVI (if the Lessee is obligated to purchase the Property), or  
in connection with the Lessee's exercise of its Purchase Option or Expiration   
Date Purchase Obligation, upon the date on which this Lease is to terminate or  
upon the Expiration Date, the Lessee shall pay to the Bank in accordance with   
SECTION 3.4 the amounts set forth in SECTIONS 16.2(b), 20.1, 20.2 or 20.3, as   
applicable.  Upon receipt of such sums, the Lessor shall execute and deliver to 
the Lessee (or to the Lessee's designee), at the Lessee's cost and expense, a   
special warranty deed if by Lessor or a quitclaim deed if by Bank and an        
assignment of the Lessor's right, title and interest in the Property (which     
shall include a release, quitclaim and assignment of all of the Lessor's right, 
title and interest in and to any Net Proceeds not previously received by the    
Lessee), subject to the Permitted Exceptions (exclusive of Lessor Liens) and any
encumbrance caused by the act, omission, fault, neglect or intention of the     
Lessee, in recordable form and otherwise in

Trust, the Assignment of Lease-Related Documents and any Lessor Liens

        (b)  If the Lessee properly exercises the Remarketing Option, then the
Lessee shall, on or prior to the Expiration Date, in accordance with ARTICLE    
XXII and at its own cost, transfer possession of the Property to the independent
purchaser thereof, by surrendering the same into the possession of the Lessor or

the Assignment of Lease-Related Documents and all Lessor Liens to be released.  
The Lessee shall cooperate reasonably with the Lessor and the independent       
purchaser of the Property in order to facilitate the purchase by such purchaser 
of the Property, which cooperation shall include the following, all of which the
Lessee shall do on or before the Expiration Date: providing all books and       
records regarding the maintenance and ownership of the Property and all know-   
how, data and technical information relating solely to the Property, but not to 
any manufacturing, marketing, administrative or other process or product of     
Lessee or any subtenant, providing a current copy of the "as built" Plans and   
Specifications for the Property, granting or assigning all licenses necessary   
for the operation and maintenance of the Property and cooperating reasonably in

Lease.                                                                          

        (c)  Any statutory special warranty deed to be delivered by the Lessor
hereunder shall convey the Property subject to any and all matters of record,   
except for Lessor Liens.                                                        

      (d)  Any obligation to convey the Property hereunder is absolute and
unconditional.  Furthermore, the parties acknowledge and agree that any such    
obligation, including the obligation of the Lessor hereunder, to convey the     
Property may be enforced by the remedy of specific performance.  Notwithstanding
any other provision of the Operative Documents, including any provision         
requiring arbitration, the parties agree that a suit for specific performance of
any such obligation may be filed in a court of competent jurisdiction and that  
such court may grant specific performance as a remedy.

shall not cause the Lessee to be released, fully or partially, from any of its  
obligations under this Lease, including, without limitation, the obligation to  
pay the Asset Termination Value and Rents on such Expiration Date.

and Lessor Liens) in accordance with SECTION 19.1(a).  The Lessee may designate,
in a notice given to the Lessor not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to   
the closing of such purchase (time being of the essence), the transferee or     
transferees to whom the conveyance shall be made (if other than to the Lessee), 
in which case such conveyance shall (subject to the terms and conditions set    
forth herein) be made to such designee; provided, HOWEVER, that such designation
of a transferee or transferees shall not cause the Lessee to be released, fully 
or partially, from any of its obligations under this Lease, including, without  
limitation, the obligation to pay the Lessor the Asset Termination Value and    
Rents on such Expiration Date.                                                  

        20.3.     ACCELERATION OF PURCHASE OBLIGATION. (a) The Lessee shall be

the Overdue Rate in accordance with SECTION 3.5), the Lessor's interest in the  
Property, at any time during the Term when the Lessor's interest in the Property
is threatened to be foreclosed due to an event arising out of a violation of the
warranty of title contained in SECTION 12.1 hereof unless Lessee shall, prior to
the completion of any such foreclosure, have diligently caused such violation to
have been fully corrected and such threat eliminated.

the option (the "RENEWAL OPTION") by written request (the "RENEWAL REQUEST") to

for one five-year period commencing on the date following the Expiration Date   
then in effect.  No later than the date (the "RENEWAL RESPONSE DATE") which is  
thirty (30) days after such request has been delivered to the Lessor (with a    
copy to the Bank), the Lessor will notify the Lessee in writing (with a copy to 
the Bank) whether or not it consents to such Renewal Request, PROVIDED that if  
the Lessor shall fail to notify the Lessee on or prior to the Renewal Response  
Date, it shall be deemed to have denied such Renewal Request.  The renewal of   
the Term contemplated by any Renewal Request shall become effective as of the   
Expiration Date; PROVIDED that such renewal shall be subject to and conditioned 
upon the following (and any consent to the Renewal Request delivered by the     
Lessor shall be null and void unless all of the following conditions are        
satisfied):                                                                     

     (A)  on both the Expiration Date then in effect and the date of the
 Renewal Request, (i) no Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be
   continuing, and (ii) the Lessor shall have received a Responsible Officer's

 the commencement of the renewal term requested in the Renewal Request and
in no event later than the Maturity Date then in effect, be paid in full
out of the proceeds of other financing obtained by Lessor, the terms of 
   which shall be satisfactory both to the Lessee and the Lessor in their sole
   and absolute discretion.  Upon repayment in full of the Wolverine/Bank Loan
and the Matisse/Bank Loan, all rights of Bank hereunder shall be        
exerciseable by Wolverine or Matisse, as applicable.

        (b)  The renewal of this Lease pursuant to SECTION 21.1(a) shall be on
terms and conditions as are set forth in this Lease for the original term, with 
such modifications thereto, if any, as the parties hereto and to the other      
Operative Documents may negotiate based upon the current credit information     
regarding the Lessee, interest rates, market conditions, the condition and value
of the Property, and such other factors as such parties may consider relevant.  
No more than one Renewal Term shall be permitted hereunder.                     

      ARTICLE XXII

      22.1.     OPTION TO REMARKET.  Subject to the fulfillment of each of
the conditions set forth in this SECTION 22.1, the Lessee shall have the option 
(the "REMARKETING OPTION") to market for the Lessor and complete the sale of    
all, but not less than all, of the Lessor's interest in the Property on the     
Expiration Date.                                                                

     The Lessee's effective exercise and consummation of the Remarketing
Option shall be subject to the due and timely fulfillment of each of the        
following provisions as of the dates set forth below.                           

(a)  Not later than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the
  Expiration Date, the Lessee shall give to the Lessor written notice of the
Lessee's exercise of the Remarketing Option, which exercise shall be    
irrevocable.                                                            

        (b)  Concurrently with its delivery of the notice described in SECTION
22.1(a), the Lessee shall deliver to the Lessor, Matisse and the Bank an
Environmental Audit of the Property.  Such Environmental Audit shall be 
prepared by an environmental consultant selected by the Lessor in the   
Lessor's reasonable discretion with the consent of  Matisse and the Bank
 and shall contain conclusions reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor as to
the environmental status of the Property.  If such Environmental Audit  
  indicates any material exceptions not disclosed on the Environmental Audit
   delivered in connection with the Closing Date, the Lessee shall deliver, as
a condition to the consummation of the Remarketing Option,  a Phase II  
environmental assessment by such environmental consultant prior to the  
  Expiration Date showing the completion of the remedying of such exceptions
in compliance with Requirements of Law.                                 

       (c)  On the date of the Lessee's notice to the Lessor of the Lessee's
exercise of the Remarketing Option, no Lease Event of Default or Lease  
Default shall exist, and thereafter, no Lease Event of Default or Lease 
Default shall occur.                                                    

    (d)  The Lessee shall have completed or caused to be completed all
Modifications, restoration and rebuilding of the Property pursuant to   
   SECTIONS 11.1 and 15.1 (as the case may be) and shall have fulfilled all of
the conditions and requirements in connection therewith pursuant to said
  Sections, in each case by the Expiration Date (time being of the essence),
 regardless of whether the same shall be within the Lessee's control.  The
 Lessee shall have also paid the cost of all Modifications commenced prior
   to the Expiration Date.  The Lessee shall not have been excused pursuant to
  SECTION 13.1 from complying with any Requirements of Law that involved the
extension of the ultimate

imposition of such Requirements of Law beyond the last day of the Term. 
 Any Liens, Impositions or Requirements of Law affecting the Property that
were contested by the Lessee shall have been removed, paid in full or   
complied with in full before the Expiration Date.                       

     (e)  During the Marketing Period, the Lessee shall, as nonexclusive
agent (without compensation) for the Lessor, use commercially reasonable
 efforts to sell the Lessor's interest in the Property and will attempt to
 obtain the highest purchase price therefor, which price shall not be less
   than the Fair Market Sales Value (as evidenced by the appraisal included in
the End of Term Report which must be delivered to the Lessor pursuant to
   SECTION 13.2(a) OF THE PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT if the marketing transaction
will result in a Shortfall Amount).  The Lessee will be responsible for 
hiring and compensating brokers and making the Property available for   
inspection by prospective purchasers.  The Lessee shall promptly upon   
request permit inspection of the Property and any maintenance records   
   relating to the Property by the Lessor, Matisse, the Bank and any potential
   purchasers, and shall otherwise do all things necessary to sell and deliver
possession of the Property to any purchaser.  All such marketing of the 
   Property shall be at the Lessee's sole expense.  The Lessee shall allow the
Lessor and any potential qualified purchaser reasonable access to the   
Property for the purpose of inspecting the same.                        

      (f)  The Lessee shall submit all bids to the Lessor, Matisse and the
 Bank, and the Lessor will have the right to review the same and the right
to submit any one or more bids.  All bids shall be on an all-cash basis 
   unless the Lessor, Matisse and the Bank shall otherwise agree in their sole
discretion.  The Lessee shall solicit bids from one or more bona fide   
prospective purchasers and shall deliver to the Lessor, Matisse and the 
 Bank not less than sixty (60) days prior to the Expiration Date a binding
written unconditional (except as set forth below), irrevocable offer by 
such purchaser or purchasers offering the highest bid to purchase the   
Property.  No such purchaser shall be the Lessee or any Subsidiary or   
   Affiliate of the Lessee or a Person with which the Lessee or any Subsidiary
   or Affiliate of the Lessee has an agreement to purchase, lease or otherwise
obtain use of the Property after the sale of the Property to such       
purchaser.  The written offer must specify the Expiration Date as the   
  closing date unless the Lessor, Matisse and the Bank shall otherwise agree
in their sole discretion.                                               

        (g)  In connection with any such sale of the Property, the Lessee will
provide to the purchaser all customary "seller's" indemnities,          
representations and warranties regarding title, absence of Liens (except
Lessor Liens) and the condition of the Property.  The Lessee shall have 
obtained, at its cost and expenses, all required governmental and       
regulatory consents and approvals and shall have made all filings as    
required of it by Requirements of Law in order to carry out and complete
the transfer of the Property.  As to the Lessor, any such sale shall be 
made on an "as is, with all faults" basis, in accordance with the       
   disclaimers set forth in SECTION 8.1, without representation or warranty by
  the Lessor other than the absence of Lessor Liens, and the purchaser shall
release the Lessor from any loss, claim, liability, action, cause of    
action, cost or expense

arising from any Hazardous Condition, Hazardous Activity or Release or  
   relating in any way to Hazardous Substances.  Any agreement as to such sale
 shall be made subject to the Lessee's full performance of its obligations
under this ARTICLE XXII.                                                

     (h)  The Lessee shall pay directly, and not from the sale proceeds,
all prorations, credits, costs and expenses of the sale of the Property,
   whether incurred by the Lessor or the Lessee, including without limitation,
the cost of all title insurance, surveys, environmental reports,        
appraisals, transfer taxes, the Lessor's reasonable attorneys' fees, the
   Lessee's attorneys' fees, commissions, escrow fees, recording fees, and all
applicable documentary and other transfer taxes.                        

     (i)  On or prior to the Expiration Date, the Lessee shall cause the
  Gross Proceeds to be paid to the Bank (or to such other Person as the Bank
shall notify the Lessee in writing) and the Lessee shall pay to the Bank
(or such other Person) an amount equal to the Residual Value Guarantee  
  Amount, PLUS all Rent and all other amounts under this Lease and the other
   Operative Documents which have accrued or will accrue prior to or as of the
Expiration Date, in the type of funds specified in SECTION 3.4 hereof.  

      (j)  If the selling price of the Property will result in a Shortfall
Amount, then the Lessee shall have caused to be delivered to the Lessor,
   Matisse and the Bank the End of the Term Report required by SECTION 13.2 OF
THE PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT and shall pay to the Bank on or prior to the
Expiration Date (or to such other person as the Bank shall notify the   
   Lessee in writing) the amounts required to be paid pursuant to SECTION 13.2
  OF THE PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT.  If the selling price of the Property will
   result in a Shortfall Amount which is not fully covered by the amounts paid
   by the Lessee pursuant to SECTION 13.2 OF THE PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT, then
the Lessor may, by a written notice delivered to the Lessee at least ten
(10) days prior to the Expiration Date, elect to retain the Property, if
but only if Lessor shall have obtained the prior written consent of the 
Bank or, if the Wolverine/Bank Loan and the Matisse/Bank Loan have been 
 paid in full, Matisse, thereto (which consent may be granted  or withheld
in the Bank's sole and absolute discretion) and shall have paid to the  
   Bank, prior to the delivery of such notice to the Lessee, all sums required
  to pay the Wolverine/Bank Loan and the Matisse/Bank Loan, plus all accrued
   but unpaid interest thereon, in full.  Such election shall be null and void
  unless the Lessor shall have obtained such consent of the Bank and paid to
 the Bank such sums strictly in compliance with the terms set forth in the
  foregoing sentence.  If the Lessor duly makes such an election, the Lessee
   shall (i) pay to the Lessor on the Expiration Date all Rent accrued through
  the Expiration Date and the Residual Value Guarantee Amount and portion of
 the Shortfall Amount which the Lessee would have been required to pay had
the Property been sold for the proposed selling price pursuant to the   
 Remarketing Option, (ii) comply with SECTION 19.1 as if the Lessor was an
   independent purchaser and (iii) take all other actions reasonably requested
by the Lessor, at the Lessee's expense, to transfer all interest of the 
Lessee in the Property to the Lessor.                                   

     (k)  The purchase of the Property shall be consummated on or within
thirty (30) days prior to the Expiration Date upon completion of the    
following on such date: (i)

the payment by the Lessee of all amounts payable pursuant to PARAGRAPHS 
(h), (i) AND (j) above; (ii) the Lessee's surrender of the Property     
   pursuant to SECTION 22.1(i) and (iii) the delivery to the Bank of the gross
  proceeds (the "GROSS PROCEEDS") of the sale of the Property (i.e., without
deduction for any marketing, closing or other costs, prorations or      
   commissions); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the sum of the Gross Proceeds from
such sale plus the Residual Value Guarantee Amount paid by the Lessee   
   pursuant to SECTION 22.1(i) above exceeds the Asset Termination Value as of
such date, then the excess shall be paid to the Lessee on the Expiration
Date.                                                                   

     (l)  The Lessee shall not be entitled to exercise or consummate the
Remarketing Option if a circumstance that would permit the Lessor to    
   require the Lessee to repurchase the Property under SECTION 16.4 exists and
is continuing.                                                          

      If one or more of the foregoing provisions shall not be fulfilled as
  of the date set forth above, or the Property is not purchased as aforesaid
on the Expiration Date (time being of the essence), then the Remarketing
Option shall be null and void (whether or not it has been theretofore   
 exercised by the Lessee), in which event all of the Lessee's rights under
this SECTION 22.1 shall immediately terminate and the Lessee shall be   
 obligated to pay all sums required to be paid pursuant to SECTION 20.2 on
   the Expiration Date.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in
 this SECTION 22.1, if the selling price for the Property set forth in the
written offer from the highest bidder described in SECTION 22.1(f) will 
 result in a Shortfall Amount, then the Lessee hereby grants to the Bank a
right of first refusal to purchase the Property upon the same terms and 
conditions as are set forth in the bid, in accordance with the following
terms and conditions:  Concurrently with the delivery to Lessor, Matisse
and the Bank of the offer submitted by the highest bidder as required by
  SECTION 22.1(f), Lessee shall deliver to the Bank a written notice setting
  forth the terms and conditions of such offer and stating that the Bank has
 a right of first refusal to purchase the Property upon the same terms and
   conditions as are set forth in the bid and in compliance with the terms and
conditions otherwise set forth in this SECTION 22.1 (including, without 
 limitation, SECTIONS 22.1 (b), (d), (g) AND (h)).  At any time during the
ten (10) Business Days following the Bank's receipt of such notice, the 
Bank may exercise its right of first refusal by giving written notice   
   thereof to the Lessee and the Lessor, whereupon the Bank shall be obligated
to purchase, and the Lessor shall be obligated to sell, the Property on 
 such terms and conditions.  In no event shall the election by the Bank to
exercise such right of first refusal diminish or affect in any manner   
whatsoever the obligation of the Lessee to pay to the Bank the sums     
described in SECTION 22.1 (i) AND (j), all of which shall be payable    
 hereunder in connection with a sale to the Bank pursuant to such right of
   first refusal, the same as if the purchaser had been the highest bidder and
not the Bank.  The Lessee's exercise of the Remarketing Option shall be 
null and void if the Lessee fails to deliver to the Bank the notice     
required hereunder of the Bank's right of first refusal strictly in     
accordance with the terms hereof, time being of the essence.            

       Except as expressly set forth herein, the Lessee shall have no right,
  power or authority to bind the Lessor in connection with any proposed sale
of the Property.

       22.2.     CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS CONTINUE.  During the Marketing Period,
the obligation of the Lessee to pay Rent (including the installment of Basic    
Rent due on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, or if earlier, at the end
of the Renewal Term, or on the Expiration Date, as the case may be) shall       
continue undiminished for the remainder of the Term until the Expiration Date or
the consummation of the Remarketing Option.  The Lessor shall have the right,   
but shall be under no duty, to solicit bids, to inquire into the efforts of the 
Lessee to obtain bids or otherwise to take action in connection with any such   
sale, other than as expressly provided in this ARTICLE XXII.                    

   22.3.     SUPPORT OBLIGATIONS.  If, on the Expiration Date or any
Termination Date, the Property is not purchased by the Lessee hereunder or by a 
third party pursuant to the Remarketing Option, the Lessee shall (i) provide the
Lessor, effective on the Expiration Date or such Termination Date, as the case  
may be, with (A) all transferable permits, certificates of occupancy,           
governmental licenses and authorizations theretofore obtained by Lessee and     
necessary to use and operate the Property as an operable commercial real estate 
project, and (B) such easements, licenses, rights-of-way and other rights and   
privileges in the nature of an easement as are reasonably necessary or desirable
in connection with the use, repair, access to or maintenance of the Property as 
the Lessor shall request and which Lessee has the power to grant and            
(ii) thereafter cooperate with Lessor to obtain for Lessor all other permits,   
certificates of occupancy, governmental licenses and authorizations necessary to
use and operate the Property as an operable commercial real estate project, all 
of which shall be obtained at Lessee's sole cost and expense.  All assignments, 
licenses, easements, agreements and other deliveries required by CLAUSES (i) AND
(ii) OF THIS SECTION 22.3 shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor
and shall be fully assignable (including both primary assignments and           
assignments given in the nature of security) without payment of any fee, cost or
other charge.                                                                   

     ARTICLE XXIII

       23.1.     HOLDING OVER.  If the Lessee shall for any reason remain in
possession of the Property after the expiration or earlier termination of this  
Lease (unless the Property is conveyed to the Lessee), such possession shall be 
as a tenancy at sufferance during which time the Lessee shall continue to pay   
Supplemental Rent that would be payable by the Lessee hereunder were the Lease  
then in full force and effect and the Lessee shall continue to pay Basic Rent at
an annual rate equal to 150% of the average rate of Basic Rent payable hereunder
during the Term.  Such Basic Rent shall be payable from time to time upon demand
by the Lessor.  During any period of tenancy at sufferance, the Lessee shall,   
subject to the second preceding sentence, be obligated to perform and observe   
all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, but shall have no     
rights hereunder other than the right, to the extent given by law to tenants at 
sufferance, to continue its occupancy and use of the Property.  Nothing         
contained in this ARTICLE XXIII shall constitute the consent, express or        
implied, of the Lessor to the holding over of the Lessee after the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease (unless the Property is conveyed to the       
Lessee), and nothing contained herein shall be read or construed to relieve the 
Lessee of its obligations to purchase or remarket the Property on the Expiration
Date pursuant to ARTICLE XX or ARTICLE XXII or as preventing the Lessor from    
maintaining a suit for possession of

the Property or exercising any other remedy available to the Lessor at law or in
equity or hereunder.                                                            

      ARTICLE XXIV

     24.1.     RISK OF LOSS.  Tenant hereby waives the provisions of any
and all applicable existing or future laws, ordinances and governmental         
regulations permitting the termination of this Lease as a result of the damage  
or destruction of the Property by fire, the elements, casualties, thefts, riots,
wars or otherwise, and the Lessor shall in no event be answerable or accountable
for any risk of loss of or decrease in the enjoyment and beneficial use of the  
Property as a result of any such event.                                         

     ARTICLE XXV

        25.1.     SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT.  The Lessee shall not assign this
Lease or any of its rights or obligations hereunder in whole or in part to any  
Person, without the prior written consent of the Lessor and the Bank, which may 
be withheld in their sole and absolute discretion.  Notwithstanding the         
foregoing, the Lessee may sublease not more than forty percent (40%) of the     
gross square footage of the Improvements at any time constructed on the Property
to any Person, in the ordinary course of business PROVIDED, that the proposed   
subtenant is not engaged in a business which may diminish the Fair Market Sales 
Value of the Land (other than in a DE MINIMUS respect), involves any Hazardous  
Activities more hazardous than those involved in Lessee's use of the Property,  
involves any Hazardous Conditions more hazardous than those involved in Lessee's
use of the Property, involves any violations of Requirements of Law, or might   
otherwise subject Lessor to liability; the Lessee notifies Lessor and the Bank  
of such sublease and delivers to Lessor and the Bank a copy of such sublease;   
and the sublease is on commercially reasonable and arms' length terms and on a  
form of sublease approved by the Bank, which approval shall not be unreasonably 
withheld and which approval shall be deemed granted unless written notice of    
disapproval thereof shall be delivered by the Bank to Lessee within ten (10)    
days after the delivery of such form to Bank for approval, provided that Lessee 
accompanies such form with a written notice stating that Bank's approval will be
deemed granted unless notice of disapproval is delivered within such period.  No
assignment, sublease or other relinquishment of possession of the Property shall
in any way discharge or materially diminish any of the Lessee's obligations     
under this Lease, and the Lessee shall remain directly and primarily liable     
under this Lease as to its rights and obligations or the Property, or portion   
thereof, so assigned or sublet.  Any sublease of the Property shall be expressly
subject and subordinate to this Lease, to the rights of the Lessor, Matisse and 
the Bank hereunder, to the Assignment of Lease-Related Documents, and to the    
Wolverine/Matisse Deed of Trust, and shall expressly provide for the surrender  
of the Property (or portion thereof) if, after a Lease Event of Default has     
occurred, the Lease is terminated.  Any such sublease may have a term that      
extends beyond the Expiration Date of the Term and all potential Renewal Terms, 
provided, that such sublease must contain a provision that the Lessor shall not 
be obligated to recognize the rights of the sublessee and that such sublease    
shall terminate in the event that the Expiration Date occurs or the Lease is    
earlier terminated without the Lessee purchasing the Property pursuant to       
ARTICLES XVI, XVII, XIX OR XX HEREOF.  No assignee or sublessee shall be        
permitted to engage in

any activities on the Property that are substantially different from those      
engaged in by the Lessee.  The payment of rent to Lessor or acceptance of rent  
by Lessor from any assignee, sublessee or other Person shall not be deemed to be
a waiver by Lessor of any provisions hereof or of any rights against the Lessee.
Consent to one subletting where consent is required shall not be deemed consent 
to any subsequent or further subletting.  Lessor may proceed directly against   
Lessee without the necessity of exhausting remedies against any permitted       
assignee or sublessee.  Lessee hereby assigns to Lessor all of Lessee's right,  
title and interest in and to all subleases entered into by Lessee in accordance 
with this SECTION 25.1 now or hereafter in effect, including but not limited to 
all rents and other sums payable to Lessee under each such sublease effective   
upon any Lease Event of Default.  Lessor shall have no obligation to perform,   
and Lessee shall not by reason of such assignment be relieved of its obligation 
to perform, any of Lessee's covenants or agreements under this Lease or any     
covenants or agreements of Lessee, as sublessor, under any such sublease.       

      ARTICLE XXVI

     26.1.     ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES.  At any time and from time to time
upon not less than twenty (20) days' prior request by the Lessor or the Lessee  
(the "REQUESTING PARTY") or by the Bank, the other of the Lessor or the Lessee  
(whichever party shall have received such request, the "CERTIFYING PARTY") shall
furnish to the Requesting Party or to Matisse and the Bank a certificate signed 
by a Responsible Officer of the Certifying Party certifying that this Lease is  
in full force and effect (or that this Lease is in full force and effect as     
modified and setting forth the modifications); the dates to which the Basic Rent
and Supplemental Rent have been paid; to the best knowledge of the signer of    
such certificate, whether or not it or the other party is in default under any  
of its obligations hereunder (and, if so, the nature of such alleged default);  
and such other matters under this Lease as the Requesting Party, Matisse or the 
Bank may reasonably request.  Any such certificate furnished pursuant to this   
ARTICLE XXVI may be relied upon by the Requesting Party, Matisse, the Bank and  
any existing or prospective mortgagee, purchaser or lender, and any accountant  
or auditor, of, from or to the Requesting Party (or any Affiliate thereof),     
Matisse or the Bank.                                                            

     ARTICLE XXVII

     27.1.     RIGHT TO INSPECT.  During the Term, the Lessee shall upon
reasonable notice from the Lessor (except that no notice shall be required if a 
Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), permit the Lessor,      
Matisse, the Bank and their respective authorized representatives to inspect the
Property during normal business hours, provided that such inspections shall not 
unreasonably interfere with the Lessee's business operations at the Property.   
So long as Lessee remains in possession of the Property, Lessor or Lessor's     
representative will, before making any inspection or performing any work on the 
Property authorized by this Lease, if then requested to do so by Lessee to      
maintain Lessee's security: (i) sign in at Lessee's security or information desk
if Lessee has such a desk on the premises, (ii) wear a visitor's badge or other 
reasonable identification, (iii) permit an employee of Lessee to observe such   
inspection or work, (iv) agree in advance to keep all processes, methods,       
products and all other business matters learned in the course of such inspection
confidential and secret, and (v) comply with other

similar reasonable nondiscriminatory security requirements of Lessee that do    
not, individually or in the aggregate unreasonably interfere with the inspection
or other rights of Lessor, Matisse or Bank authorized by this Lease.            

        27.2.     NO WAIVER.  No failure by the Lessor or the Lessee to insist
upon the strict performance of any term hereof or to exercise any right, power  
or remedy upon a default hereunder, and no acceptance of full or partial payment
of Rent during the continuance of any such default, shall constitute a waiver of
any such default or of any such term.  To the fullest extent permitted by law,  
no waiver of any default shall affect or alter this Lease, and this Lease shall 
continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or    
subsequent default.                                                             

      ARTICLE XXVIII

        28.1.     ACCEPTANCE OF SURRENDER.  No surrender to the Lessor of this
Lease or of all or any portion of any Property or of any part of any thereof or 
of any interest therein shall be valid or effective unless agreed to and        
accepted in writing by the Lessor and, prior to the payment or performance of   
all obligations owed to the Bank and Matisse under the Participation Agreement  
or other Operative Documents and termination of the Bank's Commitment and       
Matisse's Commitment, the Bank and Matisse, and no act by the Lessor, Matisse or
the Bank or any representative or agent of the Lessor, Matisse or the Bank,     
other than a written acceptance, shall constitute an acceptance of any such     
surrender.                                                                      

      ARTICLE XXIX

       29.1.     NO MERGER OF TITLE.  There shall be no merger of this Lease
or of the leasehold estate created hereby or of any of the rights accruing to   
the beneficiary under the Wolverine/Matisse Deed of Trust with any of the       
interests, estates or rights of the Lessor in or to the Land by reason of the   
fact that the same Person may acquire, own or hold, directly or indirectly, in  
whole or in part, (a) this Lease or the lessor's or lessee's estate created     
hereby or any interest in this Lease or such leasehold estate, (b) a beneficial 
interest in the Lessor, (c) an interest in the Land, and/or (d) any beneficial  
interest under the Wolverine/Matisse Deed of Trust.                             

     ARTICLE XXX

30.1.     NOTICES.  All notices, demands, requests, consents, 
approvals and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and delivered  
in the manner set forth in SECTION 14.3 of the Participation Agreement, shall be
effective as set forth in said SECTION 14.3, and shall be addressed to the      
respective parties in accordance with SCHEDULE 2 to the Participation Agreement,
or such additional parties and/or other address as such party may hereafter     
designate (provided, however, in no event shall either party be obligated to    
notify, in the aggregate, more than three (3) designees of the other party).

      ARTICLE XXXI

   31.1.     MISCELLANEOUS.  Anything contained in this Lease to the
contrary notwithstanding, all claims against and liabilities of the Lessee or   
the Lessor arising from events commencing prior to the expiration or earlier    
termination of this Lease shall survive such expiration or earlier termination. 
If any term or provision of this Lease or any application thereof shall be      
declared invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease and any other    
application of such term or provision shall not be affected thereby.  If any    
right or option of the Lessee provided in this Lease, including any right or    
option described in ARTICLES XV, XVI, XX, XXI OR XXII, would, in the absence of 
the limitation imposed by this sentence, be invalid or unenforceable as being in
violation of the rule against perpetuities or any other rule of law relating to 
the vesting of an interest in or the suspension of the power of alienation of   
property, then such right or option shall be exercisable only during the period 
which shall end twenty-one (21) years after the date of death of the last       
survivor of the lineal descendants of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the former         
president of the United States, Henry Ford, the deceased automobile             
manufacturer, and John D. Rockefeller, the founder of the Standard Oil Company, 
known to be alive on the date of the execution, acknowledgment and delivery of  
this Lease.                                                                     

       31.2.     AMENDMENTS AND MODIFICATIONS.  Subject to the requirements,
restrictions and conditions set forth in the Participation Agreement, neither   
this Lease nor any provision hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or       
terminated except by an instrument in writing in recordable form signed by the  
Lessor and the Lessee and consented to by Matisse and the Bank.  In the event of
any conflict or inconsistency between the terms hereof and the terms of the     
Participation Agreement, the Participation Agreement shall control.             

    31.3.     SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.  All the terms and provisions of
this Lease shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and permitted assigns.                                               

      31.4.     HEADINGS AND TABLE OF CONTENTS.  The headings and table of
contents in this Lease are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit
or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.                                         

      31.5.     COUNTERPARTS.  This Lease may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall        
together constitute one and the same instrument.                                

31.6.     GOVERNING LAW. THIS LEASE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND 
CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF OREGON,  
WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES, BUT IF THE BANK HAS GREATER      
RIGHTS OR REMEDIES UNDER FEDERAL LAW, THEN SUCH RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UNDER       
FEDERAL LAW WILL ALSO BE AVAILABLE TO THE BANK.                                 

       31.7.     LIMITATIONS ON RECOURSE.  The parties hereto agree that the
Lessor shall have no personal liability whatsoever to the Lessee or its         
respective successors and assigns for any claim based on or in respect of this  
Lease or any of the other Operative Documents or arising

in any way from the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; PROVIDED,      
HOWEVER, that the Lessor shall be liable (a) for its own willful misconduct or  
gross negligence, (b) for liabilities that may result from its breach of the    
covenants set forth in SECTION 5.1 hereof or in SECTION 10.3(a), (c), (d), (f)  
OR (h) of the Participation Agreement, or from any misrepresentation of Lessor  
in SECTION 8.1(a) THROUGH (n) of the Participation Agreement, (c) for any Tax   
based on or measured by any fees, commission or compensation received by it or  
(d) as the other Operative Documents expressly provide that the Lessor shall    
have personal liability. It is understood and agreed that, except as provided in
the preceding proviso: (i) the Lessor shall have no personal liability to Lessee
under any of the Operative Documents as a result of acting pursuant to and      
consistent with any of the Operative Documents; and (ii) all such personal      
liability of the Lessor to Lessee is expressly waived and released as a         
condition of, and as consideration for, the execution and delivery of the       
Operative Documents by the Lessor.  This SECTION 31.7 shall not limit any       
liability of the Lessor to the Bank.                                            

       31.8.     ORIGINAL LEASE.  The single executed original of this Lease
marked "THIS COUNTERPART IS THE ORIGINAL EXECUTED COUNTERPART" on the signature 
page thereof and containing the receipt of the Bank therefor on or following the
signature page thereof shall be the original Executed Counterpart of this Lease 
(the "ORIGINAL EXECUTED COUNTERPART").  To the extent that this Lease           
constitutes chattel paper, as such term is defined in the Uniform Commercial    
Code as in effect in any applicable jurisdiction, no security interest in this  
Lease may be created through the transfer or possession of any counterpart other
than the Original Executed Counterpart.                                         

     31.9.     USURY SAVINGS CLAUSE.  Nothing contained in this Lease or
the other Operative Documents shall be deemed to require the payment of interest
or other charges by Lessee or any other Person in excess of the amount which    
Lessor may lawfully charge under any applicable usury laws.  In the event that  
Lessor shall collect moneys under this Lease, which are deemed to constitute    
interest (including, without limitation, the Basic Rent or Supplemental Rent)   
which would increase the effective interest rate to a rate in excess of that    
permitted to be charged by Requirements of Law, all such sums deemed to         
constitute interest in excess of the legal rate shall, upon such determination, 
at the option of Lessor, be returned to Lessee or credited against other amounts
owed by Lessee.
