in writing by each Lender and each Holder (such decision to be in the sole discretion of each Lender and each Holder), up to the aggregate advanced amount equal to the aggregate of the Available Holder Commitments; and (iii) the total amount of such Loans and Holder Advances made on such date shall (x) be used by the Lessor to pay Property Costs including Transaction Expenses within three (3) Business Days of the receipt by the Lessor of such Advance or
(y) be advanced by the Lessor on the date of such Advance to the Construction Agent or the Lessee to pay Property Costs, as applicable. Notwithstanding that the Operative Agreements state that Advances shall be directed to the Lessor, each Advance shall in fact be directed to the Construction Agent (for the benefit of the Lessor) and applied by the Construction Agent (for the benefit of the Lessor) pursuant to the requirements imposed on the Lessor under the Operative Agreements.

(d) With respect to an Advance obtained by the Lessor to pay for Property Costs and/or Transaction Expenses or other costs payable under Section 11.8 hereof and not expended by the Lessor for such purpose on the date of such Advance, such amounts shall be held by the Lessor (or the Agent on behalf of the Lessor) until the applicable closing date or payment date or, if such closing date or payment date does not occur within three (3) Business Days of the date of the Lessor's receipt of such Advance, shall be applied regarding the applicable Advance to repay the Lenders and the Holders and, subject to the terms hereof, and of the Credit Agreement and the Trust Agreement, shall remain available for future Advances. Any such amounts held by the Lessor (or the Agent on behalf of the Lessor) shall be subject to the lien of the Security Agreement.

(e) All Operative Agreements which are to be delivered to the Lessor, the Agent, the Lenders or the Holders shall be delivered to the Agent, on behalf of the Lessor, the Agent, the Lenders or the Holders, and such items (except for Notes, Certificates, Bills of Sale, the chattel paper originals, with respect to which in each case there shall be only one original) shall be delivered with originals sufficient for the Lessor, the Agent, each Lender and each Holder. All other items which are to be delivered to the Lessor, the Agent, the Lenders or the Holders shall be delivered to the Agent, on behalf of the Lessor, the Agent, the Lenders or the Holders, and such other items shall be held by the Agent. To the extent any such other items are requested in writing from time to time by the Lessor, any Lender or any Holder, the Agent shall provide a copy of such item to the party requesting it.

Upon completion of the Improvements for the Property in accordance with the applicable Plans and Specifications, such Improvements will be within any building restriction lines and will not encroach in any manner onto any adjoining land (except as permitted by express written easements, which have been approved by the Agent);

(t) As of the Rent Commencement Date only, each Property shall be improved in accordance with the applicable Plans and Specifications in a good and workmanlike manner and shall be operational;

(u) As of each Property Closing Date only, each Property has been acquired at a price that is not in excess of fair market value; and

(v) Each Credit Party has (i) initiated a review and assessment of all areas within its and each of its Subsidiaries' business and operations (including those affected by suppliers, vendors and customers of each Credit Party and its Subsidiaries) that could be adversely affected by the Year 2000 Problem, (ii) developed a plan and timeline for addressing the Year 2000 Problem on a timely basis and (iii) to date, implemented that plan in accordance with that timetable. Based on the foregoing, each Credit Party believes that all computer applications (including those of suppliers, vendors and customers of each Credit Party and its Subsidiaries) that are material to its or any of its Subsidiaries' business and operations are reasonably expected on a timely basis to be able to perform properly date-sensitive functions for all dates before and after January 1, 2000 (that is, be "Year 2000 Compliant"), except to the extent that a failure to do so shall not have and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 6B. GUARANTY

6B.1. GUARANTY OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE.

Subject to Section 6B.7, each Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Financing Party the prompt payment and performance of the Company Obligations in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise) or when such is otherwise to be performed; provided, notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of the Guarantors under this Section 6B shall not constitute a direct guaranty of the indebtedness of the Lessor evidenced by the Notes but rather a guaranty of the Company Obligations arising under the Operative Agreements. This Section 6B is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection and is a continuing guaranty and shall apply to all Company Obligations whenever arising. All rights granted to the Financing Parties under this Section 6B shall be subject to the provisions of Section 8.2(h) and 8.6.

6B.2. OBLIGATIONS UNCONDITIONAL.

Each Guarantor agrees that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Operative Agreements, or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Company Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety, guarantor or co-obligor, it being the intent of this Section 6B.2 that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that this Section 6B may be enforced by the Financing Parties without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other security or collateral and without the necessity at any time of having recourse to the Notes, the Certificates or any other of the Operative Agreements or any collateral, if any, hereafter securing the Company Obligations or otherwise and each Guarantor hereby waives the right to require the Financing Parties to proceed against the Construction Agent, the Lessee or any other Person (including without limitation a co-guarantor) or to require the Financing Parties to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. Each Guarantor further agrees that it hereby waives any and all right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against the Lessee and the Construction Agent or any other Guarantor of the Company Obligations for amounts paid under this Section 6B until such time as the Loans, Holder Advances, accrued but unpaid interest, accrued but unpaid Holder Yield and all other amounts owing under the Operative Agreements have been paid in full. Without limiting the generality of the waiver provisions of this Section 6B, each Guarantor hereby waives any rights to require the Financing Parties to proceed against the Construction Agent, the Lessee or any co-guarantor or to require Lessor to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. Each Guarantor further agrees that nothing contained herein shall prevent the Financing Parties from suing on any Operative Agreement or foreclosing any security interest in or Lien on any collateral, if any, securing the Company Obligations or from exercising any other rights available to it under any Operative Agreement, or any other instrument of security, if any, and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights and the completion of any foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of any Guarantor's obligations hereunder; it being the purpose and intent of each Guarantor that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances; provided that any amounts due under this Section 6B which are paid to or for the benefit of any Financing Party shall reduce the Company Obligations by a corresponding amount (unless required to be rescinded at a later date). Neither any Guarantor's obligations under this Section 6B nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of the Construction Agent or the Lessee or by reason of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Construction Agent or the Lessee. Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Company Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Financing Party upon this Section 6B or acceptance of this Section 6B. Each Guarantor also expressly waives any and all benefits under the California Civil Code Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive. The Company Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this Section 6B. All dealings between the Construction Agent, the Lessee and any of the guarantors, on the one

hand, and the Financing Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this
Section 6B.

6B.3. Modifications.

Each Guarantor agrees that (a) all or any part of the security now or hereafter held for the Company Obligations, if any, may be exchanged, compromised or surrendered from time to time; (b) no Financing Party shall have any obligation to protect, perfect, secure or insure any such security interests, liens or encumbrances now or hereafter held, if any, for the Company Obligations or the properties subject thereto; (c) the time or place of payment of the Company Obligations may be changed or extended, in whole or in part, to a time certain or otherwise, and may be renewed or accelerated, in whole or in part; (d) the Construction Agent, the Lessee and any other party liable for payment under the Operative Agreements may be granted indulgencies generally;
(e) any of the provisions of the Notes, the Certificates or any of the other Operative Agreements may be modified, amended or waived; (f) any party (including any co-guarantor) liable for the payment thereof may be granted indulgences or be released; and (g) any deposit balance for the credit of the Construction Agent, the Lessee or any other party liable for the payment of the Company Obligations or liable upon any security therefor may be released, in whole or in part, at, before or after the stated, extended or accelerated maturity of the Company Obligations, all without notice to or further assent by such Guarantor, which shall remain bound thereon, notwithstanding any such exchange, compromise, surrender, extension, renewal, acceleration, modification, indulgence or release.

6B.4. Waiver of Rights.

Each Guarantor expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (a) notice of acceptance of this Section 6B by any Financing Party and of all extensions of credit or other Advances to the Construction Agent and the Lessee by the Lenders pursuant to the terms of the Operative Agreements; (b) presentment and demand for payment or performance of any of the Company Obligations; (c) protest and notice of dishonor or of default with respect to the Company Obligations or with respect to any security therefor;
(d) notice of any Financing Party obtaining, amending, substituting for, releasing, waiving or modifying any security interest, lien or encumbrance, if any, hereafter securing the Company Obligations, or any Financing Party's subordinating, compromising, discharging or releasing such security interests, liens or encumbrances, if any; and (e) all other notices to which such Guarantor might otherwise be entitled. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) each Guarantor's payments hereunder shall be due five (5) Business Days after written demand by the Agent for such payment (unless the Company Obligations are automatically accelerated pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Operative Agreements in which case the Guarantors' payments shall be automatically due) and (ii) any modification of the Operative Agreements which has the effect of increasing the Company Obligations shall not be enforceable against a Guarantor unless such Guarantor executes the document evidencing such modification or otherwise reaffirms its guaranty in writing in connection with such modification.

6B.5. REINSTATEMENT.

The obligations of the Guarantors under this Section 6B shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Company Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Company Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify each Financing Party on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by any Financing Party in connection with such rescission or restoration, including without limitation any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

6B.6. REMEDIES.

The Guarantors agree that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and each Financing Party, on the other hand, the Company Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in the applicable provisions of the Operative Agreements (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided therein) notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing such Company Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or such Company Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such Company Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Operative Agreements.

6B.7. LIMITATION OF GUARANTY.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Operative Agreements, to the extent the obligations of any Guarantor shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including without limitation because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable law (whether federal or state and including without limitation the Bankruptcy Code).

Subject to Section 6B.5, upon the satisfaction of the Company Obligations in full, regardless of the source of payment, the Guarantors' obligations hereunder shall be deemed satisfied, discharged and terminated other than indemnifications set forth herein that expressly survive.

6B.8. PAYMENT OF AMOUNTS TO THE AGENT.

Each Financing Party hereby instructs each Guarantor, and each Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees, that until such time as the Loans and the Holder Advances are paid in

full and the Liens evidenced by the Security Agreement and the Mortgage Instruments have been released any and all Rent (excluding Excepted Payments which shall be payable to each Holder or other Person as appropriate) and any and all other amounts of any kind or type under any of the Operative Agreements due and owing or payable to any Person shall instead be paid directly to the Agent (excluding Excepted Payments which shall be payable to each Holder or other Person as appropriate) or as the Agent may direct from time to time for allocation and distribution in accordance with the procedures set forth in

(vi) The Agent in its reasonable judgment shall identify the nature of each payment or amount received by the Agent and apply and allocate each such amount in the manner specified above.

(c) Upon the payment in full of the Loans, the Holder Advances and all other amounts then due and owing by the Owner Trustee hereunder or under any Credit Document and the payment in full of all other amounts then due and owing to the Lenders, the Holders, the Agent, the Owner Trustee and the other Financing Parties pursuant to the Operative Agreements, any moneys remaining with the Agent shall be returned to the Lessee.

If the Lessee shall at any time purchase any Property pursuant to the Lease, or the Construction Agent shall purchase any Property pursuant to the Agency Agreement, or if any Property shall be sold in accordance with Article XXII of the Lease, then, upon satisfaction by the Owner Trustee of its obligation to prepay the Loans, Holder Advances and all other amounts owing to the Lenders and the Holders under the Operative Agreements, the Agent is hereby authorized and directed to release such Properties from the Liens created by the Security Documents to the extent of its interest therein. In addition, upon the termination of the Commitments and the Holder Commitments and the payment in full of the Loans, the Holder Advances and all other amounts owing by the Owner Trustee and the Lessee hereunder or under any other Operative Agreement the Agent is hereby authorized and directed to release all of the Properties from the Liens created by the Security Documents to the extent of its interest therein. Upon request of the Owner Trustee following any such release, the Agent shall, at the sole cost and expense of the Lessee, execute and deliver to the Owner Trustee and the Lessee such documents as the Owner Trustee or the Lessee shall reasonably request to evidence such release.

SECTION 10. TRANSFER OF INTEREST.

10.1 RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.

Each Lender may participate, assign or transfer all or a portion of its interest hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements in accordance with Sections 9.7 and 9.8 of the Credit Agreement; provided, each participant, assignee or transferee must obtain the same ratable interest in Tranche A Loans, Tranche A Commitments, Tranche B Loans and Tranche B Commitments (and to the extent the selling Lender is also a Holder (or an Affiliate of a Holder), each such participant, assignor or transferee must also obtain the same ratable interest in and to the Holder Advances, Holder Commitments and the Trust Estate); provided further, that each Lender that participates, assigns or transfers all or a portion of its interest hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements shall deliver to the Agent a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance (as referenced in Section 9.8 of the Credit Agreement) for purposes of maintaining the Register. The Holders may, directly or indirectly, assign, convey or otherwise transfer any of their right, title or interest in or to the Trust Estate or the Trust Agreement with the prior written consent of the Agent and the Lessee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and in accordance with the terms of Section 11.8(b) of the Trust Agreement; provided, to the extent the selling Holder is also a Lender (or an Affiliate of a Lender), each such assignee, receiver of a conveyance or other transferee must also obtain the same ratable interest in and to the Tranche A Loans, Tranche A Commitments, Tranche B Loans and Tranche B Commitments. The Owner Trustee may, subject to the rights of the Lessee under the Lease and the other Operative Agreements and to the Lien of the applicable Security Documents but only with the prior written consent of the Agent (which consent may be withheld by the Agent in its sole discretion) and (provided, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) with the consent of the Lessee, directly or indirectly, assign, convey, appoint an agent with respect to enforcement of, or otherwise transfer any of its right, title or interest in or to any Property, the Lease, the Trust Agreement and the other Operative Agreements (including without limitation any right to indemnification thereunder), or any other document relating to a Property or any interest in a Property as provided in the Trust Agreement and the Lease. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall not apply to the obligations of the Owner Trustee to transfer Property to the Lessee or a third party purchaser pursuant to Article XXII of the Lease upon payment for such Property in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lease. No Credit Party may assign any of the Operative Agreements or any of their respective rights or

obligations thereunder or with respect to any Property in whole or in part to any Person without the prior written consent of the Agent, the Lenders, the Holders and the Lessor.

10.2. EFFECT OF TRANSFER.

From and after any transfer effected in accordance with this Section 10, the transferor shall be released, to the extent of such transfer, from its liability hereunder and under the other documents to which it is a party in respect of obligations to be performed on or after the date of such transfer; provided, however, that any transferor shall remain liable hereunder and under such other documents to the extent that the transferee shall not have assumed the obligations of the transferor thereunder. Upon any transfer by the Owner Trustee, a Holder or a Lender as above provided, any such transferee shall assume the obligations of the Owner Trustee, the Holder or the Lender, as the case may be, and shall be deemed an "Owner Trustee", "Holder", or "Lender", as the case may be, for all purposes of such documents and each reference herein to the transferor shall thereafter be deemed a reference to such transferee for all purposes, except as provided in the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding any transfer of all or a portion of the transferor's interest as provided in this
Section 10, the transferor shall be entitled to all benefits accrued and all rights vested prior to such transfer including without limitation rights to indemnification under any such document.

SECTION 11. INDEMNIFICATION.

11.1. GENERAL INDEMNITY.

Subject to and limited by in all respects by the provisions of Sections 11.6 through 11.8 and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, the Indemnity Provider hereby assumes liability for and agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person on an After Tax Basis from and against any Claims, which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against an Indemnified Person by any third party, including without limitation Claims arising from the negligence of an Indemnified Person (but not to the extent such Claims arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person itself, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, as opposed to gross negligence or willful misconduct imputed to such Indemnified Person) in any way relating to or arising or alleged to arise out of the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement, the Lease or any other Operative Agreement or on or with respect to any Property or any component thereof, including without limitation Claims in any way relating to or arising or alleged to arise out of (a) the financing, refinancing, purchase, acceptance, rejection, ownership, design, construction, refurbishment, development, delivery, acceptance, nondelivery, leasing, subleasing, possession, use, occupancy, operation, maintenance repair, modification, transportation, condition, sale, return, repossession (whether by summary proceedings or otherwise), or any other disposition of any Property or any part thereof, including without limitation the acquisition, holding or disposition of any interest in the Property, lease or agreement comprising a portion of any thereof; (b) any latent or other defects in any Property or any portion thereof whether or not discoverable by an Indemnified Person or the Indemnity

Provider; (c) a violation of Environmental Laws. Environmental Claims or other loss of or damage to any property or the environment relating to the Property, the Lease, the Agency Agreement or the Indemnity Provider; (d) the Operative Agreements, or any transaction contemplated thereby; (e) any breach by the Indemnity Provider of any of its representations or warranties under the Operative Agreements to which the Indemnity Provider is a party or failure by the Indemnity Provider to perform or observe any covenant or agreement to be performed by it under any of the Operative Agreements; (f) the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Operative Agreement, in respect of the application of Parts 4 and 5 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA; (g) personal injury, death or property damage, including without limitation Claims based on strict or absolute liability in tort; and (h) any fees, expenses and/or other assessments by any business park or any other applicable entity with oversight responsibility for the applicable Property.

If a written Claim is made against any Indemnified Person or if any proceeding shall be commenced against such Indemnified Person (including without limitation a written notice of such proceeding), for any Claim, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Indemnity Provider in writing and shall not take action with respect to such Claim without the consent of the Indemnity Provider for thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice by the Indemnity Provider; provided, however, that in the case of any such Claim, if action shall be required by law or regulation to be taken prior to the end of such period of thirty (30) days, such Indemnified Person shall endeavor to, in such notice to the Indemnity Provider, inform the Indemnity Provider of such shorter period, and no action shall be taken with respect to such Claim without the consent of the Indemnity Provider before seven (7) days before the end of such shorter period; provided, further, that the failure of such Indemnified Person to give the notices referred to in this sentence shall not diminish the Indemnity Provider's obligation hereunder except to the extent such failure precludes in all respects the Indemnity Provider from contesting such Claim.

If, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Person (or such shorter period as the Indemnified Person has notified the Indemnity Provider is required by law or regulation for the Indemnified Person to respond to such Claim), the Indemnity Provider shall request in writing that such Indemnified Person respond to such Claim, the Indemnified Person shall, at the expense of the Indemnity Provider, in good faith conduct and control such action (including without limitation by pursuit of appeals) (provided, however, that (A) if such Claim, in the Indemnity Provider's reasonable discretion, can be pursued by the Indemnity Provider on behalf of or in the name of such Indemnified Person, the Indemnified Person, at the Indemnity Provider's request, shall allow the Indemnity Provider to conduct and control the response to such Claim and (B) in the case of any Claim (and notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing subsection (A)), the Indemnified Person may request the Indemnity Provider to conduct and control the response to such Claim (with counsel to be selected by the Indemnity Provider and consented to by such Indemnified Person, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that any Indemnified Person may retain separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnity Provider in the event of a conflict of interest between such Indemnified Person and the Indemnity Provider)) by, in the sole discretion of the Person conducting and controlling the response to such Claim (1) resisting payment thereof, (2) not paying the same except under protest, if protest is necessary and proper, (3) if the payment be made, using

reasonable efforts to obtain a refund thereof in appropriate administrative and judicial proceedings, or (4) taking such other action as is reasonably requested by the Indemnity Provider from time to time.

The party controlling the response to any Claim shall consult in good faith with the non-controlling party and shall keep the non-controlling party reasonably informed as to the conduct of the response to such Claim; provided, that all decisions ultimately shall be made in the discretion of the controlling party. The parties agree that an Indemnified Person may at any time decline to take further action with respect to the response to such Claim and may settle such Claim if such Indemnified Person shall waive its rights to any indemnity from the Indemnity Provider that otherwise would be payable in respect of such Claim (and any future Claim, the pursuit of which is precluded by reason of such resolution of such Claim) and shall pay to the Indemnity Provider any amount previously paid or advanced by the Indemnity Provider pursuant to this Section 11.1 by way of indemnification or advance for the payment of an amount regarding such Claim.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.1, an Indemnified Person shall not be required to take any action and the Indemnity Provider shall not be permitted to respond to any Claim in its own name or that of the Indemnified Person unless (A) the Indemnity Provider shall have agreed to pay and shall pay to such Indemnified Person on demand and on an After Tax Basis all reasonable costs, losses and expenses that such Indemnified Person actually incurs in connection with such Claim, including without limitation all reasonable legal, accounting and investigatory fees and disbursements and, if the Indemnified Person has informed the Indemnity Provider that it intends to contest such Claim (whether or not the control of the contest is then assumed by the Indemnity Provider), the Indemnity Provider shall have agreed that the Claim is an indemnifiable Claim hereunder, (B) in the case of a Claim that must be pursued in the name of an Indemnified Person (or an Affiliate thereof), the amount of the potential indemnity (taking into account all similar or logically related Claims that have been or could be raised for which the Indemnity Provider may be liable to pay an indemnity under this Section 11.1) exceeds $25,000 (or such lesser amount as may be subsequently agreed between the Indemnity Provider and the Indemnified Person), (C) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably determined that the action to be taken will not result in any material danger of sale, forfeiture or loss of the Property, or any part thereof or interest therein, will not interfere with the payment of Rent, and will not result in risk of criminal liability, (D) if such Claim shall involve the payment of any amount prior to the resolution of such Claim, the Indemnity Provider shall provide to the Indemnified Person an interest-free advance in an amount equal to the amount that the Indemnified Person is required to pay (with no additional net after-tax cost to such Indemnified Person) prior to the date such payment is due, (E) in the case of a Claim that must be pursued in the name of an Indemnified Person (or an Affiliate thereof), the Indemnity Provider shall have provided to such Indemnified Person an opinion of independent counsel selected by the Indemnity Provider and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person stating that a reasonable basis exists to contest such Claim (or, in the case of an appeal of an adverse determination, an opinion of such counsel to the effect that the position asserted in such appeal will more likely than not prevail) and (F) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. In no event shall an Indemnified Person be required to appeal an adverse judicial

determination to the United States Supreme Court. In addition, an Indemnified Person shall not be required to contest any Claim in its name (or that of an Affiliate) if the subject matter thereof shall be of a continuing nature and shall have previously been decided adversely by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to the contest provisions of this Section 11.1, unless there shall have been a change in law (or interpretation thereof) and the Indemnified Person shall have received, at the Indemnity Provider's expense, an opinion of independent counsel selected by the Indemnity Provider and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person stating that as a result of such change in law (or interpretation thereof), it is more likely than not that the Indemnified Person will prevail in such contest. In no event shall the Indemnity Provider be permitted to adjust or settle any Claim without the consent of the Indemnified Person to the extent any such adjustment or settlement involves, or is reasonably likely to involve, any performance by or adverse admission by or with respect to the Indemnified Person.

11.2. GENERAL TAX INDEMNITY.

(a) Subject to and limited by in all respects the provisions of Sections 11.6 through 11.8 and Section 3.9(a) of the Trust Agreement, the Indemnity Provider shall pay and assume liability for, and does hereby agree to indemnify, protect and defend each Property and all Indemnified Persons, and hold them harmless against, all Impositions on an After Tax Basis, and all payments pursuant to the Operative Agreements shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present and future Impositions.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.2(a) hereof, the following shall be excluded from the indemnity required by Section
11.2(a) (collectively, the "Excluded Taxes"):

(i) Taxes (other than Taxes that are, or are in the nature of, sales, use, rental, value added, transfer or property taxes) that are imposed on a Indemnified Person (other than the Lessor, the Owner Trustee and the Trust) by the United States federal government that are based on or measured by the net income (including without limitation taxes based on capital gains and minimum taxes) of such Person; provided, that this clause (i) shall not be interpreted to prevent a payment from being made on an After Tax Basis if such payment is otherwise required to be so made;

(ii) Taxes (other than Taxes that are, or are in the nature of, sales, use, rental, value added, transfer or property taxes) that are imposed on any Indemnified Person (other than the Lessor, the Owner Trustee and the Trust) by any state or local jurisdiction or taxing authority within any state or local jurisdiction and that are based upon or measured by the net income (including without limitation taxes based on capital gains and minimum taxes) of such Person; provided, however, that the Indemnity Provider shall not have any obligation to indemnify any Indemnified Person for any California unitary tax obligations of the Indemnified Person that are not attributable to the payments received under the Operative Agreements or otherwise attributable to the

transactions contemplated thereby; provided, further, that such Taxes shall not be excluded under this subparagraph (ii) to the extent such Taxes would have been imposed had the location, possession or use of any Property in, the location or the operation of the Lessee in, or the Lessee's making payments under the Operative Agreements from, the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes been the sole connection between such Indemnified Person and the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes; provided, further, that this clause (ii) shall not be interpreted to prevent a payment from being made on an After Tax Basis if such payment is otherwise required to be so made;

(iii) any Tax to the extent it relates to any act, event or omission that occurs after the termination of the Lease and redelivery or sale of the Property in accordance with the terms of the Lease (but not any Tax that relates to such termination, redelivery or sale and/or to any period prior to such termination, redelivery or sale); and

(iv) any Taxes which are imposed on an Indemnified Person as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person itself, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (as opposed to gross negligence or willful misconduct imputed to such Indemnified Person), but not Taxes imposed as a result of ordinary negligence of such Indemnified Person;

(c) (i) Subject to the terms of Section 11.2(f), the Indemnity Provider shall pay or cause to be paid all Impositions directly to the taxing authorities where feasible and otherwise to the Indemnified Person, as appropriate, and the Indemnity Provider shall at its own expense, upon such Indemnified Person's reasonable request, furnish to such Indemnified Person copies of official receipts or other satisfactory proof evidencing such payment.

(ii) In the case of Impositions for which no contest is conducted pursuant to Section 11.2(f) and which the Indemnity Provider pays directly to the taxing authorities, the Indemnity Provider shall pay such Impositions prior to the latest time permitted by the relevant taxing authority for timely payment. In the case of Impositions for which the Indemnity Provider reimburses an Indemnified Person, the Indemnity Provider shall do so within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Indemnity Provider of demand by such Indemnified Person describing in reasonable detail the nature of the Imposition and the basis for the demand (including without limitation the computation of the amount payable), accompanied by receipts or other reasonable evidence of such demand. In the case of Impositions for which a contest is conducted pursuant to Section 11.2(f), the Indemnity Provider shall pay such Impositions or reimburse such Indemnified Person for such Impositions, to the extent not previously paid or reimbursed pursuant to subsection (a), prior to the latest time permitted by the relevant taxing authority for timely payment after conclusion of all contests under Section 11.2(f).

(iii) At the Indemnity Provider's request, the amount of any indemnification payment by the Indemnity Provider pursuant to subsection
(a) shall be verified and certified by an independent public accounting firm mutually acceptable to the Indemnity Provider and the Indemnified Person. The fees and expenses of such independent public accounting firm shall be paid by the Indemnity Provider unless such verification shall result in an adjustment in the Indemnity Provider's favor of fifteen percent (15%) or more of the payment as computed by the Indemnified Person, in which case such fee shall be paid by the Indemnified Person.

(d) The Indemnity Provider shall be responsible for preparing and filing any real and personal property or ad valorem tax returns in respect of each Property and any other tax returns required for the Owner Trustee respecting the transactions described in the Operative Agreements. In case any other report or tax return shall be required to be made with respect to any obligations of the Indemnity Provider under or arising out of subsection (a) and of which the Indemnity Provider has knowledge or should have knowledge, the Indemnity Provider, at its sole cost and expense, shall notify the relevant Indemnified Person of such requirement and (except if such Indemnified Person notifies the Indemnity Provider that such Indemnified Person intends to prepare and file such report or return) (A) to the extent required or permitted by and consistent with Legal Requirements, make and file in the Indemnity Provider's name such return, statement or report; and (B) in the case of any other such return, statement or report required to be made in the name of such Indemnified Person, advise such Indemnified Person of such fact and prepare such return, statement or report for filing by such Indemnified Person or, where such return, statement or report shall be required to reflect items in addition to any obligations of the Indemnity Provider under or arising out of subsection (a), provide such Indemnified Person at the Indemnity Provider's expense with information sufficient to permit such return, statement or report to be properly made with respect to any obligations of the Indemnity Provider under or arising out of subsection (a). Such Indemnified Person shall, upon the Indemnity Provider's request and at the Indemnity Provider's expense, provide any data maintained by such Indemnified Person (and not otherwise available to or within the control of the Indemnity Provider) with respect to each Property which the Indemnity Provider may reasonably require to prepare any required tax returns or reports.

(e) As between the Indemnity Provider on one hand, and each Financing Party on the other hand, the Indemnity Provider shall be responsible for, and the Indemnity Provider shall indemnify and hold harmless each Financing Party (without duplication of any indemnification required by subsection (a)) on an After Tax Basis against, any obligation for United States or foreign withholding taxes or similar levies, imposts, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (collectively, "Withholdings") imposed in respect of the interest payable on the Notes, Holder Yield payable on the Certificates or with respect to any other payments under the Operative Agreements (all such payments being referred to herein as "Exempt Payments" to be made without deduction, withholding or set off) (and, if any Financing Party receives a demand for such payment

from any taxing authority or a Withholding is otherwise required with respect to any Exempt Payment, the Indemnity Provider shall discharge such demand on behalf of such Financing Party); provided, however, that the obligation of the Indemnity Provider under this Section 11.2(e) shall not apply to:

(i) Withholdings on any Exempt Payment to any Financing Party which is a non-U.S. Person unless such Financing Party is, on the date hereof (or on the date it becomes a Financing Party hereunder) and on the date of any change in the principal place of business or the lending office of such Financing Party, entitled to submit a Form 1001 (relating to such Financing Party and entitling it to a complete exemption from Withholding on such Exempt Payment) or Form 4224 or is otherwise subject to exemption from Withholding with respect to such Exempt Payment (except where the failure of the exemption results from a change in the principal place of business of the Lessee; provided if a failure of exemption for any Financing Party results from a change in the principal place of business or lending office of any other Financing Party, then such other Financing Party shall be liable for any Withholding or indemnity with respect thereto), or

(ii) Any U.S. Taxes imposed solely by reason of the failure by a non-U.S. Person to comply with applicable certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connections with the United States of America of such non-U.S. Person if such compliance is required by statute or regulation of the United States of America as a precondition to relief or exemption from such U.S. Taxes.

For the purposes of this Section 11.2(e), (A) "U.S. Person" shall mean a citizen, national or resident of the United States of America, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under any laws of the Untied States of America or any State thereof, or any estate or trust that is subject to Federal income taxation regardless of the source of its income, (B) "U.S. Taxes" shall mean any present or future tax, assessment or other charge or levy imposed by or on behalf of the United States of America or any taxing authority thereof or therein, (C) "Form 1001" shall mean Form 1001 (Ownership, Exemption, or Reduced Rate Certificate) of the Department of the Treasury of the United States of America and (D) "Form 4224" shall mean Form 4224(R) (Exemption from Withholding of Tax on Income Effectively Connected with the Conduct of a Trade or Business in the United States) of the Department of Treasury of the United States of America (or in relation to either such Form such successor and related forms as may from time to time be adopted by the relevant taxing authorities of the United States of America to document a claim to which such Form relates). Each of the Forms referred to in the foregoing clauses (C) and (D) shall include such successor and related forms as may from time to time be adopted by the relevant taxing authorities of the United States of America to document a claim to which such Form relates.

If a Financing Party or an Affiliate with whom such Financing Party files a consolidated tax return (or equivalent) subsequently receives the benefit in any country of

a tax credit or an allowance resulting from U.S. Taxes with respect to which it has received a payment of an additional amount under this Section 11.2(e), such Financing Party will pay to the Indemnity Provider such part of that benefit as in the opinion of such Financing Party will leave it (after such payment) in a position no more and no less favorable than it would have been in if no additional payment had been required to be paid, provided always that (i) such Financing Party will be the sole judge of the amount of any such benefit and of the date on which it is received, (ii) such Financing Party will have the absolute discretion as to the order and manner in which it employs or claims tax credits and allowances available to it and (iii) such Financing Party will not be obliged to disclose to the Indemnity Provider any information regarding its tax affairs or tax computations.

Each non-U.S. Person that shall become a Financing Party after the date hereof shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer or otherwise upon becoming a Financing Party hereunder, be required to provide all of the forms and statements referenced above or other evidences of exemption from Withholdings.

(f) If a written Claim is made against any Indemnified Person or if any proceeding shall be commenced against such Indemnified Person (including without limitation a written notice of such proceeding), for any Impositions, the provisions in Section 11.1 relating to notification and rights to contest shall apply; provided, however, that the Indemnity Provider shall have the right to conduct and control such contest only if such contest involves a Tax other than a Tax on net income of the Indemnified Person and can be pursued independently from any other proceeding involving a Tax liability of such Indemnified Person.

11.3. INCREASED COSTS, ILLEGALITY, ETC.

(a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request hereafter adopted, promulgated or made by any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Financing Party of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Advances, then the Lessee shall from time to time, upon demand by such Financing Party (with a copy of such demand to the Agent but subject to the terms of Section 2.11 of the Credit Agreement and 3.9 of the Trust Agreement, as the case may be), pay to the Agent for the account of such Financing Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Financing Party for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Lessee and the Agent by such Financing Party, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) If any Financing Party determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law, but in each case promulgated or made after the date hereof) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to

be maintained by such Financing Party or any corporation controlling such Financing Party and that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such Financing Party's commitment to make Advances and other commitments of this type or upon the Advances, then, upon demand by such Financing Party (with a copy of such demand to the Agent but subject to the terms of Section 2.11 of the Credit Agreement and 3.9 of the Trust Agreement), the Lessee shall pay to the Agent for the account of such Financing Party, from time to time as specified by such Financing Party, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Financing Party or such corporation in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Financing Party reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Financing Party's commitment to make such Advances. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Lessee and the Agent by such Financing Party shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, the Lessee shall pay to each Financing Party on the last day of the Interest Period therefor so long as such Financing Party is maintaining reserves against "Eurocurrency liabilities" under Regulation D an additional amount (determined by such Financing Party and notified to the Lessee through the Agent) equal to the product of the following for each Eurodollar Loan or Eurodollar Holder Advance, as the case may be, for each day during such Interest Period:

(i) the principal amount of such Eurodollar Loan or Eurodollar Holder Advance, as the case may be, outstanding on such day; and

(ii) the remainder of (x) a fraction the numerator of which is the rate (expressed as a decimal) at which interest accrues on such Eurodollar Loan or Eurodollar Holder Advance, as the case may be, for such Interest Period as provided in the Credit Agreement or the Trust Agreement, as the case may be (less the Applicable Percentage), and the denominator of which is one (1) minus the effective rate (expressed as a decimal) at which such reserve requirements are imposed on such Financing Party on such day minus (y) such numerator; and

(iii) 1/360.

(d) Without affecting its rights under Sections 11.3(a), 11.3(b) or 11.3(c) or any other provision of any Operative Agreement, each Financing Party agrees that if there is any increase in any cost to or reduction in any amount receivable by such Financing Party with respect to which the Lessee would be obligated to compensate such Financing Party pursuant to Sections 11.3(a) or 11.3(b), such Financing Party shall use reasonable efforts to select an alternative office for Advances which would not result in any such increase in any cost to or reduction in any amount receivable by such Financing Party; provided, however, that no Financing Party shall be obligated to select an alternative office for Advances if such Financing Party determines that (i) as a result of such selection such Financing Party would be in violation of any applicable law, regulation, treaty, or guideline, or would incur additional costs or expenses or (ii) such selection

would be inadvisable for regulatory reasons or materially inconsistent with the interests of such Financing Party.

(e) With reference to the obligations of the Lessee set forth in Sections 11.3(a) through 11.3(d), the Lessee shall not have any obligation to pay to any Financing Party amounts owing under such Sections for any period which is more than one (1) year prior to the date upon which the request for payment therefor is delivered to the Lessee.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Financing Party shall notify the Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Financing Party to perform its obligations hereunder to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans or Eurodollar Holder Advances, as the case may be, then (i) each Eurodollar Loan or Eurodollar Holder Advance, as the case may be, will automatically, at the earlier of the end of the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loan or Eurodollar Holder Advance, as the case may be, or the date required by law, convert into an ABR Loan or an ABR Holder Advance, as the case may be, and (iii) the obligation of the Financing Parties to make, convert or continue Eurodollar Loans or Eurodollar Holder Advances, as the case may be, shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Lessee that such Financing Party has determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

(g) If, with respect to any Advances consisting of Eurodollar Loans and Eurodollar Holder Advances required by the Borrower, the Agent or the Majority Secured Parties shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall, save for manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that (a) deposits of sufficient amount and maturity for funding such Advances are not available to the Lenders or the Holders in the relevant market in the ordinary course of business or (b) by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the rate of interest to be applicable to such Advances, then (i) the Agent or the Majority Secured Parties, as the case may be, shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower, (ii) the notice requesting such Borrowing shall, unless the Borrower otherwise notifies the Agent, automatically be amended to request ABR Loans and ABR Holder Advances instead of Eurodollar Loans and Eurodollar Holder Advances, and (iii) no Lender or Holder, as the case may be, shall be under any obligation to make additional Eurodollar Loans and Eurodollar Holder Advances to the Borrower, unless and until the Agent shall have notified the Borrower that such Eurodollar Loans and Eurodollar Holder Advances are again available hereunder.

11.4. FUNDING/CONTRIBUTION INDEMNITY.

Subject to the provisions of Section 2.11(a) of the Credit Agreement and 3.9(a) of the Trust Agreement, as the case may be, the Lessee agrees to indemnify each Financing Party and to hold each Financing Party harmless from any loss or reasonable expense which such Financing Party may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any default in connection with the drawing of

funds for any Advance, (b) any default in making any repayment after a notice thereof has been given in accordance with the provisions of the Operative Agreements or (c) the making of a voluntary or involuntary payment of Eurodollar Loans or Eurodollar Holder Advances, as the case may be, on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification shall be in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the amount of interest or Holder Yield, as the case may be, which would have accrued on the amount so paid, or not so borrowed, accepted, converted or continued for the period from the date of such payment or of such failure to borrow, accept, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, accept, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Percentage for such Loan or Holder Advance, as the case may be, for such Interest Period over (y) the amount of interest (as determined by such Financing Party in its reasonable discretion) which would have accrued to such Financing Party on such amount by (i) (in the case of the Lenders) reemploying such funds in loans of the same type and amount during the period from the date of payment or failure to borrow to the last day of the then applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) and (ii) (in the case of the Holders) placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the relevant interest rate market. This covenant shall survive the termination of the Operative Agreements and the payment of all other amounts payable hereunder.

11.5. EXPRESS INDEMNIFICATION FOR ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, ETC.

SUBJECT TO AND LIMITED BY IN ALL RESPECTS THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 11.6 THROUGH 11.8 AND WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS OF ANY AND ALL OF THE OPERATIVE AGREEMENTS, EACH PERSON PROVIDING INDEMNIFICATION OF ANOTHER PERSON UNDER ANY OPERATIVE AGREEMENT HEREBY FURTHER EXPRESSLY RELEASES EACH BENEFICIARY OF ANY SUCH INDEMNIFICATION FROM ALL CLAIMS FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE, DESCRIBED IN ANY OPERATIVE AGREEMENT, CAUSED BY ANY ACT OR OMISSION ON THE PART OF ANY SUCH BENEFICIARY ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY) OR STRICT LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH BENEFICIARY, AND INDEMNIFIES, EXONERATES AND HOLDS EACH SUCH BENEFICIARY FREE AND HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL ACTIONS, CAUSES OF ACTION, SUITS, CLAIMS, LOSSES, COSTS, LIABILITIES, DAMAGES AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ATTORNEY'S FEES AND EXPENSES), DESCRIBED ABOVE, INCURRED BY ANY SUCH BENEFICIARY (IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER ANY SUCH BENEFICIARY IS A PARTY TO THE ACTION FOR WHICH INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER OPERATIVE AGREEMENT IS SOUGHT) ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY) OR STRICT LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH BENEFICIARY.

11.6 ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS REGARDING ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNIFICATION.

Subject to the following sentence, each and every indemnified Person shall at all times have the rights and benefits, and the Indemnity Provider shall have the obligations, in each case provided pursuant to the Operative Agreements with respect to environmental matters, violations of any Environmental Law, any Environmental Claim or other loss of or damage to any property or the environment relating to any Property, the Lease, the Agency Agreement or the Indemnity Provider (including without limitation the rights and benefits provided pursuant to Section 11.1(c). Notwithstanding any provision in this
Section 11 to the contrary, the Indemnity Provider shall not be obligated to indemnify any Person for any Claim arising from or out of with respect to environmental matters, violations of any Environmental Law, any Environmental Claim or loss of or damage to any Property or the environment relating to any Property, the Lease, the Agency Agreement or the Indemnity Provider to the extent such Claim is subject to indemnification by Raytheon or Fairchild and Raytheon or Fairchild, as the case may be, has actually indemnified such Person with respect to such Claim.

11.7 ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS REGARDING INDEMNIFICATION.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 11.1, 11.2 and 11.5 (other than with respect to matters concerning environmental indemnification referenced in
Section 11.6), (a) the Owner Trustee shall be the only beneficiary of the provisions set forth in Sections 11.1, 11.2 and 11.5 (again, subject to the immediately preceding parenthetical phrase) with respect to each Property solely for the period prior to the earlier to occur of the applicable Completion Date or Construction Period Termination Date for such Property, as applicable, and
(b) such limited rights of indemnification referenced in Section 11.7(a) (to the extent relating to third-party claims) shall be limited to third-party claims caused by or resulting from the Indemnity Provider's acts or omissions and/or all other Persons acting by, through or under the Indemnity Provider. After the earlier to occur of the applicable Completion Date or Construction Period Termination Date for such Property, as applicable, each Indemnified Person shall be a beneficiary of the provisions set forth in Sections 11.1, 11.2 and 11.5

11.8 INDEMNIFICATIONS PROVIDED BY THE OWNER TRUSTEE IN FAVOR OF THE OTHER INDEMNIFIED PERSONS.

To the extent the Indemnity Provider is not obligated to indemnify each Indemnified Person with respect to the various matters described in this Section 11.8, the Owner Trustee shall provide such indemnities (but only to the extent amounts sufficient to pay such indemnity are funded by the Lenders and the Holders) in favor of each Indemnified Person in accordance with this Section 11.8 and shall pay all such amounts owed with respect to this Section 11.8 with amounts advanced by the Lenders and the Holders(a) to the extent, but only to the extent, amounts are available therefor with respect to the Available Commitments and the Available Holder Commitments (subject to the rights of the Lenders and the Holders to increase their respective commitment amounts in accordance with the provisions of Sections 5.9) and (b) unless each Lender and each Holder has declined in writing to fund such amount. Notwithstanding any other provision in any other Operative Agreement to the contrary, all

amounts so advanced shall be deemed added (ratably, based on the ratio of the Property Cost for each Property individually to the Aggregate Property Cost of all Properties at such time) to the Property Cost of all Properties then subject to the terms of the Operative Agreements.

Whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, the Owner Trustee hereby assumes liability for and agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person on an After Tax Basis from and against any Claims, which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against an Indemnified Person by any third party, including without limitation Claims arising from the negligence of an Indemnified Person (but not to the extent such Claims arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person itself, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, as opposed to gross negligence or willful misconduct imputed to such Indemnified Person or breach of such Indemnified Person's obligations under this Agreement, the Lease or any other Operative Agreement) in any way relating to or arising or alleged to arise out of the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement, the Lease or any other Operative Agreement or on or with respect to any Property or any component thereof, including without limitation Claims in any way relating to or arising or alleged to arise out of the matters set forth in Sections 11.1(a) through 11.1(h).

Each Basic Document may be terminated, amended, supplemented, waived or modified only by an instrument in writing sign by, subject to Article VIII of the Trust Agreement regarding termination of the Trust Agreement, the Majority Secured Parties, the Agent and each Credit Party (to the extent such Credit Party is a party to such Basic Document); provided, to the extent no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Majority Secured Parties shall not amend, supplement, waive or modify any provision of any Basic Document in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Credit Party without the prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of such Credit Party.

[Outside Counsel Opinion for the Owner Trustee] (Pursuant to Section 5.3(dd) of the Participation Agreement)

----------------, ----

TO THOSE ON THE ATTACHED DISTRIBUTION LIST

Re: Trust Agreement dated as of April 23, 1999

Dear Sirs:

We have acted as special counsel for First Security Bank, National Association, a national banking association, in its individual capacity ("FSB") and in its capacity as trustee (the "Owner Trustee") under the Trust Agreement dated as of April 23, 1999 (the "Trust Agreement") by and among it and the various banks and other lending institutions which are parties thereto from time to time, as holders (the "Holders"), in connection with the execution and delivery by the Owner Trustee of the Operative Agreements to which it is a party. Except as otherwise defined herein, the terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in Appendix A to the Participation Agreement dated as of April 23, 1999 (the "Participation Agreement") by and among Veritas Software Corporation (the "Lessee"), the various parties thereto from time to time, as guarantors (the "Guarantors"), First Security Bank, National Association, as the Owner Trustee, the Holders, the various banks and other lending institutions which are parties thereto from time to time, as lenders (the "Lenders") and NationsBank, N.A., as the agent for the Lenders and respecting the Security Documents, as the agent for the Lenders and the Holders, to the extent of their interests (the "Agent").

We have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of rendering this opinion.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

1. FSB is a national banking association duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States of America and each of FSB and the Owner Trustee has under the laws of the State of Utah and federal banking law the power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Trust Agreement and each other Operative Agreement to which it is a party.

2. The Owner Trustee is the duly appointed trustee under the Trust Agreement.

3. The Trust Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by one (1) of the officers of FSB and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Holders, is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Owner Trustee (and to the extent set forth therein, against FSB), enforceable against the Owner Trustee (and to the extent set forth therein, against FSB) in accordance with its terms, and the Trust Agreement creates under the laws of the State of Utah for the Holders the beneficial interest in the Trust Estate it purports to create and is a valid trust under the laws of the State of Utah.

4. The Operative Agreements to which it is party have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by FSB, and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties thereto, are legal, valid and binding obligations of FSB, enforceable against FSB in accordance with their respective terms.

5. The Operative Agreements to which it is party have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Owner Trustee, and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties thereto, are legal, valid and binding obligations of the Owner Trustee, enforceable against the Owner Trustee in accordance with their respective terms. The Notes and Certificates have been duly issued, executed and delivered by the Owner Trustee, pursuant to authorization contained in the Trust Agreement, and the Certificates are entitled to the benefits and security afforded by the Trust Agreement in accordance with its terms and the terms of the Trust Agreement.

6. The execution and delivery by each of FSB and the Owner Trustee of the Trust Agreement and the Operative Agreements to which it is a party, and compliance by FSB or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, with all of the provisions thereof do not and will not contravene any Laws applicable to or binding on FSB, or as the Owner Trustee, or contravene the provisions of, or constitute a default under, its charter documents or by-laws or, to our knowledge after due inquiry, any indenture, mortgage contract or other agreement or instrument to which FSB or Owner Trustee is a party or by which it or any of its property may be bound or affected.

7. The execution and delivery of the Operative Agreements by each of FSB and the Owner Trustee and the performance by each of FSB and the Owner Trustee of their respective obligations thereunder does not require on or prior to the date hereof the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the registration or filing with, or the taking of any action in respect of any Governmental Authority or any court.

8. Assuming that the trust created by the Trust Agreement is treated as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes within the contemplation of
Section 671 through 678 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, there are no fees, taxes, or other charges (except taxes imposed on fees payable to the Owner Trustee) payable to the State of Utah or any political subdivision thereof in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Owner Trustee, the Agent, the Lenders, the Lessee or the Holders, as the case may be, of the Operative Agreements or in connection with the acquisition of any Property by the Owner Trustee or in connection with the making by any Holder of its investment in the Trust or its acquisition of the beneficial

interest in the Trust Estate or in connection with the issuance and acquisition of the Certificates, or the Notes, and neither the Owner Trustee, the Trust Estate nor the trust created by the Trust Agreement will be subject to any fee, tax or other governmental charge (except taxes on fees payable to the Owner Trustee) under the laws of the State of Utah or any political subdivision thereof on, based on or measured by, directly or indirectly, the gross receipts, net income or value of the Trust Estate by reason of the creation or continued existence of the trust under the terms of the Trust Agreement pursuant to the laws of the State of Utah or the Owner Trustee's performance of its duties under the Trust Agreement.

9. There is no fee, tax or other governmental charge under the laws of the State of Utah or any political subdivision thereof in existence on the date hereof on, based on or measured by any payments under the Certificates, Notes or the beneficial interest in the Trust Estate, by reason of the creation of the trust under the Trust Agreement pursuant to the laws of the State of Utah or the Owner Trustee's performance of its duties under the Trust Agreement within the State of Utah.

10. Upon the filing of the financing statement on form UCC-1 in the form attached hereto as Schedule 1 with the Utah Division of Corporation and Commercial Code, the Agent's security interest in the Trust Estate, for the benefit of the Lenders and the Holders, will be perfected, to the extent that such perfection is governed by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Utah (the "Utah UCC").

Your attention is directed to the Utah UCC, which provides, in part, that a filed financing statement which does not state a maturity date or which states a maturity date of more than five (5) years is effective only for a period of five
(5) years from the date of filing, unless within six (6) months prior to the expiration of said period a continuation statement is filed in the same office or offices in which the original statement was filed. The continuation statement must be signed by the secured party, identify the original statement by file number and state that the original statement is still effective. Upon the timely filing of a continuation statement, the effectiveness of the original financing statement is continued for five (5) years after the last date to which the original statement was effective. Succeeding continuation statements may be filed in the same manner to continue the effectiveness of the original statement.

The foregoing opinions are subject to the following assumptions, exceptions and qualifications:

A. We are attorneys admitted to practice in the State of Utah and in rendering the foregoing opinions we have not passed upon, or purported to pass upon, the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Utah and the federal banking law governing the banking and trust powers of FSB. In addition, without limiting the foregoing we express no opinion with respect to (i) federal securities laws, including the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, (ii) the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended, (iii) the Federal Communications Act of 1934, as amended, or (iv) state securities or blue sky laws. Insofar as the foregoing opinions relate to the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability of the documents involved in these transactions, which by their terms are governed by the laws of a state other than Utah, we have

assumed that the laws of such state (as to which we express no opinion), are in all material aspects identical to the laws of the State of Utah.

B. The opinions set forth in paragraphs 3, 4, and 5 above are subject to the qualification that enforceability of the Trust Agreement and the other Operative Agreements to which FSB and the Owner Trustee are parties, in accordance with their respective terms, may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership or similar laws affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and (ii) general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

C. As to the documents involved in these transactions, we have assumed that each is a legal, valid and binding obligation of each party thereto, other than FSB or the Owner Trustee, and is enforceable against each such party in accordance with their respective terms.

D. We have assumed that all signatures, other than those of the Owner Trustee or FSB, on documents and instruments involved in these transactions are genuine, that all documents and instruments submitted to us as originals are authentic, and that all documents and instruments submitted to us as copies conform with the originals, which facts we have not independently verified.

E. We do not purport to be experts in respect of, or express any opinion concerning laws, rules or regulations applicable to the particular nature of the equipment or property involved in these transactions.

F. We have made no investigation of, and we express no opinion concerning, the nature of the title to any part of the equipment or property involved in these transactions or the priority of any mortgage or security interest.

G. We have assumed that the Participation Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are not within the prohibitions of Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

H. In addition to any other limitation by operation of law upon the scope, meaning, or purpose of this opinion, the opinions expressed herein speak only as of the date hereof. We have no obligation to advise the recipients of this opinion (or any third party) and make no undertaking to amend or supplement such opinions if facts come to our attention or changes in the current law of the jurisdictions mentioned herein occur which could affect such opinions the legal analysis, a legal conclusion or any information confirmation herein.

I. This opinion is for the sole benefit of the Lessee, the Construction Agent, the Guarantors, the Owner Trustee, the Holders, the Lenders, the Agent and their respective successors and assigns in matters directly related to the Participation Agreement or the transaction contemplated thereunder and may not be relied upon by any other person other than such parties and their respective successors and assigns without the express written consent of

the undersigned. The opinions expressed in this letter are limited to the matter set forth in this letter, and no other opinions should be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated.

TO THOSE ON THE ATTACHED DISTRIBUTION LIST

Re: Synthetic Lease Financing Provided in favor of Veritas Software Corporation

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I have acted as general counsel to Veritas Software Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Lessee") in connection with certain transactions contemplated by the Participation Agreement dated as of April , 1999 (the "Participation Agreement"), among the Lessee, the various parties thereto from time to time as guarantors (the "Guarantors"), First Security Bank, National Association, as the Owner Trustee (the "Owner Trustee"), the various banks and other lending institutions which are parties thereto from time to time, as holders (the "Holders"), the various banks and other lending institutions which are parties thereto from time to time, as lenders (the "Lenders") and NationsBank, N.A., as the agent for the Lenders and respecting the Security Documents, as the agent for the Lenders and the Holders, to the extent of their interests (the "Agent"). This opinion is delivered pursuant to Section 5.3(ee) of the Participation Agreement. All capitalized terms used herein, and not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings assigned thereto in Appendix A to the Participation Agreement.

In connection with the foregoing, I have examined originals, or copies certified to my satisfaction, of such corporate documents and records of the Lessee, certificates of public officials and representatives of the Lessee as to certain factual matters, and such other instruments and documents which I have deemed necessary or advisable to examine for the purpose of this opinion. With respect to such examination, I have assumed (i) the statements of fact made in all such certificates, documents and instruments are true, accurate and complete; (ii) the genuineness of all signatures (other than the signatures of persons signing on behalf of the Lessee) and (iii) the authenticity and completeness of all documents, certificates, instruments, records and corporate records submitted to us as originals and the conformity to the original instruments of all documents submitted to us as copies, and the authenticity and completeness of the originals of such copies.

Based on the foregoing, and having due regard for such legal considerations as I deem relevant, and subject to the limitations and assumptions set forth herein, I am of the opinion that:

1. Lessee has the corporate power and authority to conduct its business as presently conducted.

2. Lessee (i) is not subject to, or is exempt from, regulation under (A) the Federal Power Act, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 or other federal or state laws and regulations applicable to public utilities. (B) any federal or state laws and regulations applicable to banks, finance companies and other financial institutions, or (C) any other federal or state laws and regulations limiting Lessee's ability to borrow money; and (ii) is not an investment company or a company controlled by an investment company, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

This opinion is limited to the matters stated herein and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters stated herein. This opinion is based on and is limited to the laws of the State of California and the federal laws of the United States of America. Insofar as the foregoing opinion relates to matters of law other than the foregoing, no opinion is hereby given.

This opinion is for the sole benefit of the addressees and their respective successors and assigns and may not be relied upon by any other person other than such parties and their respective successors and assigns without the express written consent of the undersigned. The opinions expressed herein are as of the date hereof and I make no undertaking to amend or supplement such opinions if facts come to my attention or changes in the current law of the jurisdictions mentioned herein occur which could affect such opinions.

We represent Lessee only with respect to specific matters and our relationship with Lessee is such that we have no detailed or continuing familiarity with any of its day-to-day operations, business or financial affairs. Although attorneys in our firm have been involved in the governmental approval process for the Property, we have made no independent review of that process, nor have we made any physical inspection of the Property, nor have we undertaken independent investigation respecting any fire or public health laws or compliance with the regulations of any insurance company. Our opinion is based exclusively upon a review of the

Operative Documents, the Constituent Documents, the Certificate of Lessee and the Certificates of the Secretaries of State referred to above, (and for purposes of our opinion in Paragraph 3 below, any Material Agreements identified in the Certificate of Lessee). In addition, we have relied upon the representations and warranties of Lessee set forth in the Certificate of Lessee with respect to the factual determinations underlying the legal conclusions set forth herein.

Whenever any opinion expressed herein with respect to the existence or absence of facts is qualified by the phrase "to our current actual knowledge," such knowledge is limited solely to (i) the representations of Lessee set forth in the Certificate of Lessee and the Operative Documents, (ii) an examination of documents in those of our files solely related to the Transaction and (iii) the actual knowledge of those attorneys in our firm who have substantively represented Lessee with respect to the Transaction (but not including any constructive or imputed notice of any information) or who have had an active involvement in the preparation of this opinion ("Primary Lawyer Group"). We have not attempted to verify independently the representations of Lessee; and we have not conducted any investigation, nor do we intend to undertake for purposes of this opinion any investigation, of any facts that may be ascertained by the examination of all of the other files or attorneys of our firm or any court files or third parties.

In our examination and review we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures other than the officers of Lessee, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of the documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, facsimile or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.

The law covered by the opinions expressed herein is limited to the federal law of the United States and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the laws of the State of New York and the laws of the State of California, in each case as expressly provided below. We express no opinion with respect to the effect or applicability of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

For purposes of our opinions expressed in Paragraph 1 below, with respect to due incorporation, valid existence and good standing of Lessee, we are relying solely on our review and examination of the certificates received from the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, and the Secretary of State of the State of California, without further investigation of the corporate records of Lessee. Our opinions expressed in Paragraphs 1 and 2 below relate solely to the laws of the State of California, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and applicable federal laws of the United States, and we express no opinion in Paragraphs 1 and 2 below with respect to the effect or applicability of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

Our opinions expressed in clauses (ii) and (iii) of Paragraph 3 below are limited to laws and regulations normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated in the Operative Documents and do not extend to licenses, permits and approvals necessary for the development of the Property or the conduct of Lessee's business.

Our opinions expressed in Paragraphs 4(a) and 9(a) below relate solely to the laws of the State of New York (and, in the case of Paragraph 9(a) insofar as matters of California law are relevant to the opinions relating to perfection expressed therein, the laws of the State of California), and we express no opinion in Paragraphs 4(a) and 9(a) below with respect to the effect or applicability of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Such opinion is limited to laws and regulations normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated in the Operative Documents and do not extend to licenses, permits and approvals necessary for the conduct of Lessee's business. We have made no investigation of New York law with respect to the creation of any leasehold estate, with respect to the creation, perfection or priority of any real estate lien or security interest in real property, or with respect to the exercise of any remedies relating to any leasehold estate, real estate lien or security interest in real property, nor have we consulted with counsel admitted to practice law in the State of New York regarding such matters, and we express no opinion herein relating to New York law with respect to any such matters.

Our opinions expressed in Paragraphs 4(b), 6, 7, 8, 9(b), 10, 11, 12 and 13 below relate solely to the laws of the State of California (except for the opinions expressed in Paragraph 11 below which also relate to the federal laws of the United States), and we express no opinion in Paragraphs 4(b), 6, 7, 8,
9(b), 10, 11, 12 and 13 below with respect to the effect or applicability of the laws of any other jurisdiction (except as expressly set forth in this sentence). Such opinions are limited to laws and regulations normally applicable to transactions involving California real property interests as contemplated in the Operative Documents. We invite your attention to the fact that the Operative Documents state that they are governed by the law of the State of New York. We have not, for purposes of our opinions expressed in Paragraphs 4(b), 6, 7, 8,
9(b), 10, 11, 12 and 13 examined the question of, and express no opinion as to, what law would govern the interpretation, characterization or enforcement of the Operative Documents, and our opinions with regard to the Operative Documents in Paragraphs 4(b), 6, 7, 8, 9(b), 10, 11, 12 and 13 respectively, are based on the assumption that the internal law of the State of California would govern the provisions thereof, and in addition, in the case of Paragraphs 6 and 7, upon the assumptions set forth therein, respectively.

Insofar as our opinion expressed in Paragraph 13 below concerns the law of the State of California limiting the rates of interest legally chargeable or collectible, we have relied upon our understanding that each of the Lender Parties (as defined below) is a subsidiary of a bank holding company or is a bank organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof and, as a result thereof, is exempt from the restrictions of Section 1 of Article XV of the

Constitution of the State of California relating to rates of interest upon the loan of money. We further assume in this regard that all Advances have been and will be made by each of the Lender Parties for its own account and without intent to circumvent otherwise applicable interest rate limitations under California law and that there is no present express or implied agreement or plan to sell participations or any other interest in the Operative Documents to any Person other than a Person that also qualifies for an exemption from the interest rate limitations of California law.

In addition and without limiting the previous six paragraphs, we express no opinion herein with respect to the effect of any pension, employee benefit or tax laws (except as provided in Paragraph 10 below), or any zoning or similar land use law, any state or federal antitrust law, state or federal securities laws. Further, we express no opinion as to compliance or noncompliance by Lessor, Agent, Holders or Lenders with any federal, state or other law (i) requiring any of Lessor, Agent, Holders or Lenders to be licensed as a bank, finance company or other type of financial institution, (ii) pertaining to matters regulating the assets held by the Lenders on the basis of portfolio requirements or Lessor's, Agent's, Holders' or Lenders' capitalization, such as loan limits and capital adequacy requirements, and
(iii) otherwise applicable to Lessor, Agent, Holders or Lenders and relating to their legal or regulatory status or the nature of their business.

In rendering this opinion, with your permission and without independent investigation (unless otherwise noted), we are making and relying on the following assumptions:

A. THERE ARE NO DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS THAT WOULD MODIFY OR CONFLICT WITH THE OPERATIVE DOCUMENTS, BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE PARTIES THERETO AND/OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY ("Person");

B. EACH OF LESSOR, AGENT, EACH HOLDER AND EACH LENDER IS DULY ORGANIZED, VALIDLY EXISTING AND IN GOOD STANDING UNDER THE LAWS OF ITS RESPECTIVE JURISDICTION OF FORMATION AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT JURISDICTION, AND HAS ALL REQUISITE POWER AND AUTHORITY TO CARRY ON ITS BUSINESS AS NOW CONDUCTED, TO ENTER INTO THE OPERATIVE DOCUMENTS TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY AND TO CARRY OUT THE TERMS AND TO EXERCISE THE REMEDIES OF THE OPERATIVE DOCUMENTS TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY;

C. ALL OF THE OPERATIVE DOCUMENTS TO WHICH THEY ARE PARTIES, RESPECTIVELY, HAVE BEEN DULY AUTHORIZED, EXECUTED AND DELIVERED BY LESSOR, AGENT, EACH HOLDER AND EACH LENDER, AND ALL THE OPERATIVE DOCUMENTS TO WHICH THEY ARE PARTIES, RESPECTIVELY, ARE LEGAL, VALID, BINDING AND ENFORCEABLE AS TO LESSOR (EXCEPT FOR PURPOSES OF OUR OPINIONS IN PARAGRAPHS 4, 8 AND 9 BELOW AS SET FORTH IN SUCH OPINIONS), AGENT, EACH HOLDER AND EACH LENDER; AND

D. LESSOR, AGENT, EACH HOLDER AND EACH LENDER HAS FILED ANY REQUIRED CALIFORNIA AND NEW YORK STATE FRANCHISE, INCOME OR SIMILAR TAX RETURNS AND HAS PAID ANY REQUIRED CALIFORNIA AND NEW YORK STATE FRANCHISE, INCOME OR SIMILAR TAXES.

Based upon the foregoing and our reliance thereon and having regard for legal considerations which we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that:

1. Lessee is a duly incorporated and validly existing corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, is in good standing as a foreign corporation in the State of California and has the corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Operative Documents to which it is or is to be a party and each other agreement, instrument and document to be executed and delivered by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents.

2. Lessee has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Operative Documents to which it is a party and has duly executed and delivered each Operative Document to which it is a party.

3. The execution and delivery by Lessee of the Operative Documents to which it is a party and compliance by Lessee with the material provisions thereto, do not and will not (i) violate or conflict with the Lessee Certificate of Incorporation or the Lessee Bylaws, (ii) to our current actual knowledge, conflict with, or require any consents, authorizations, registrations, declarations or filings (except as may relate to the perfection of liens or security interests) by Lessee under, the laws of any state having applicability to Lessee, as presently in effect and interpreted, or any order of any Governmental Authority applicable to or binding on Lessee, (iii) conflict with, or require any consents, authorizations, registrations, declarations or

filings (except as may relate to the perfection of liens or security interests) by Lessee, or any stockholders, or any trustee or holder of indebtedness, of the Lessee (except for such approvals and consents which have been already obtained), under the laws of the State of California or, to our current actual knowledge, the State of New York having applicability to Lessee, in each case as presently in effect and interpreted, (iv) to our current actual knowledge, conflict with or constitute a violation of any court orders, writs, judgments or decrees of any court, or any arbitrator or governmental agency or authority,
(v) constitute a material breach of any Material Agreement (as defined in the Certificate of Lessee) to which Lessee is a party or by which Lessee is bound or, to our current actual knowledge, any other agreement or instrument to which Lessee is a party or by which Lessee or any of its properties may be bound or affected, or (vi) result in the creation of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens and Lessor Liens) upon the Property under the express terms of the Lessee Certificate of Incorporation, the Lessee Bylaws or, to our current actual knowledge, any other agreement or instrument to which Lessee is a party or by which any of its properties may be bound or affected.

4. (a) Under the laws of the State of New York, the Operative Documents (other than the Lease) to which Lessee and/or Lessor is a party constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of Lessee, enforceable against Lessee and the Lessor in accordance with their terms.

(b) Under the laws of the State of California, the Operative Documents (other than the Lease) to which Lessee and/or Lessor is a party constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of Lessee, enforceable against Lessee and Lessor in accordance with their terms.

5. We have no current actual knowledge of any pending or threatened actions, suits, litigation or other proceedings against Lessee or the Property before any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority that question or challenge the legality, validity or enforceability of the Operative Documents or the Transaction, that concern the Property or the Lessee's interest therein or which, if determined adversely to Lessee, would be likely to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Certificate of Lessee) on Lessee.

6. Assuming that the Transaction, insofar as the Lease is concerned, is recharacterized by a court of competent jurisdiction as a loan from Lessor or Lessee, (i) the Lease constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of Lessee, enforceable against Lessee in accordance with its terms, and (ii) Lessee's obligations to make the payments characterized as "Basic Rent" and "Supplemental Rent" under the Lease will entitle Lessor to pursue its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents against the Collateral covered thereby upon a material breach of such obligations (provided, however, we express no opinion as to the nature or characterization of such payments as "Basic Rent" or "Supplemental Rent" or otherwise).

7. Assuming that the Transaction, insofar as the Lease is concerned, is characterized by a court of competent jurisdiction as an operating lease between Lessor and Lessee, (i) the Lease constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of Lessee, enforceable against Lessee in accordance with its terms,
(ii) the Lease and the applicable Lease Supplement are in a form sufficient to demise to Lessee a valid leasehold interest in the Property described in such Lease Supplement and (iii) the Lessee's obligations to make the payments characterized as "Basic Rent" and "Supplemental Rent" under the Lease are enforceable; provided, however, we express no opinion as to the nature or characterization of such payments as "Basic Rent" or "Supplemental Rent" or otherwise; and further provided that we express no opinion as to the enforceability of the Lease remedies obligating Lessee to pay the Termination Value or any other amount in excess of accrued and unpaid "Basic Rent," including, but not limited to, the availability to Lessor of any rights or remedies under the Lease with respect to payments of "Supplemental Rent", where a court of competent jurisdiction has not recharacterized the Transaction, insofar as the Lease is concerned, as a loan from Lessor to Lessee.

8. The Deed, the Lender Deed of Trust (and the Joinder of Lessee attached thereto), the Lessor Deed of Trust, the Collateral Assignment and the Fixture Filings are each in a form sufficient for recording in the Official Records of Santa Clara County. Upon proper recording in the Official Records in Santa Clara County and the payment of all fees required in connection therewith the Lender Deed of Trust, the Joinder of Lessee, the Collateral Assignment and the Fixture Filings related thereto will create in favor of the Agent a valid and enforceable record lien on and security interest in the Lessee's and Lessor's interests in the Collateral described therein. Upon proper recording in the Official Records in Santa Clara County and the payment of all fees required in connection therewith the Lessor Deed of Trust and the Fixture Filings related thereto will create in favor of the Lessor a valid and enforceable record lien on and security interest in the Lessee's interests in the Collateral described therein. No other recordations or filings are necessary in order to provide such constructive notice of the lien of the Lender Deed of Trust or the Lessor Deed of Trust with respect to the real property described therein.

9. (a)(i) Under the laws of the State of New York, the Security Agreement creates in favor of the Agent, for the benefit of the secured parties named therein, a security interest in the Collateral described therein to which Article 9 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code ("NYUCC") is applicable (the "ARTICLE 9 COLLATERAL"). The Security Agreement Financing Statements are in appropriate form for filing with the California Secretary of State. Upon the filing of the Security Agreement Financing Statements with the California Secretary of State, the Agent, as secured party, will have a perfected security interest in that portion of the Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest is perfected by the filing of a financing statement with the California Secretary of State under the NYUCC and Division 9 of

the California Uniform Commercial Code (the "CUCC"). Upon proper filing of the Security Agreement Financing Statements pursuant to the filing system established under applicable California law, no other action is necessary under the NYUCC to perfect such security interests in the Article 9 Collateral.

(ii) Under the laws of the State of New York, the security interests in the Collateral described in the Deed of Trust Financing Statements and the Lease Financing Statements will be perfected upon the proper filing of the Deed of Trust Financing Statements and the Lease Financing Statements covering such Collateral with the California Secretary of State. Upon proper filing of the Deed of Trust Financing Statements and the Lease Financing Statements pursuant to the filing system established under applicable California law, no other action is necessary under the NYUCC to perfect the security interests in the Collateral described in the Deed of Trust Financing Statements and the Lease Financing Statements.

(b)(i) Under the laws of the State of California, the Security Agreement creates in favor of the Agent, for the benefit of the secured parties named therein, a security interest in the Article 9 Collateral. The Security Agreement Financing Statements are in appropriate form for filing with the California Secretary of State. Upon the filing of the Security Agreement Financing Statements with the California Secretary of State, the Agent, as secured party, will have a perfected security interest in that portion of the Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest is perfected by the filing of a financing statement with the California Secretary of State under Division 9 of the CUCC. Upon proper filing of the Security Agreement Financing Statements pursuant to the filing system established under applicable California law, no other action is necessary under the CUCC to perfect such security interests in the Article 9 Collateral.

(ii) Under the laws of the State of California, the security interests in the Collateral described in the Deed of Trust Financing Statements and the Lease Financing Statements will be perfected upon the proper filing of the Deed of Trust Financing Statements and the Lease Financing Statements covering such Collateral with the California Secretary of State. Upon proper filing of the Deed of Trust Financing Statements and the Lease Financing Statements pursuant to the filing system established under applicable California law, no other action is necessary under the CUCC to perfect the security interests in the Collateral described in the Deed of Trust Financing Statements and the Lease Financing Statements.

10. There are no mortgage taxes or filing fees payable to any public body solely in connection with the recording of the Lender Deed of Trust, the Lessor Deed of Trust or the Fixture Filings in the Official Records of Santa Clara County except filing fees payable to the County Recorder of Santa Clara County.

11. No Governmental Action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required for the acquisition of the Property by Lessee or, to our current actual knowledge, Lessor.

12. To our current actual knowledge, title to the Properties located in the State of California may be held in the name of the Lessor.

13. The Transaction and, particularly, Lessee's obligations to make payments of "Basic Rent" and "Supplemental Rent" will not violate the usury laws of the State of California.

The opinions expressed herein with respect to the laws of the State of New York are subject to and limited by the following qualifications, assumptions, limitations and exceptions:

(a) The enforceability of Lessee's and Lessor's obligations under the Operative Documents may be subject to or limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, fraudulent transfer and other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally; and (ii) general equitable principles (whether relief is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity), including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith, and fair dealing.

(b) We express no opinion as to provisions of the Operative Documents purporting to establish an evidentiary standard or to authorize conclusive determinations by the Agent, Lenders, Holders or Lessor (collectively, "Lender Parties") or any other Person or allowing the Lender Parties or any other Person to make determinations in its sole discretion.

(c) We also express no opinion as to:

(i) the enforceability of provisions of the Operative Documents pursuant to which Lessee or Lessor agrees to make payments without set-off, defense or counterclaim;

(ii) the enforceability of provisions relating to indemnification, contribution or exculpation, to the extent any such provision is contrary to public policy or prohibited by law (including, without limitation, federal and state securities laws);

(iii) any provision providing for the exclusive jurisdiction of a particular court or purporting to waive rights to trial by jury, service of process or objections to the laying of venue or to forum on the basis of forum non conveniens, in connection with any litigation arising out of or pertaining to the Operative Documents;

(iv) provisions contained in the Operative Documents purporting to waive either illegality as a defense to the performance of contract obligations or any other defense to such performance which cannot, as a matter of law, be effectively waived;

(v) any provision of the Operative Documents insofar as it provides that any Person purchasing a participation from any Lender Party or other Person may exercise set-off or

similar rights with respect to such participation or that any Lender Party or other Person may exercise set-off or similar rights other than in accordance with applicable law;

(vi) any provision of the Operative Documents permitting modification thereof only by means of an agreement in writing signed by the parties thereto;

(vii) any provision of the Operative Documents requiring payment of attorneys' fees, except to the extent a court determines such fees to be reasonable;

(viii) the effect of the law of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York which limits the rates of interest legally chargeable or collectible;

(ix) any provisions purporting to exclude conflict of law principles under New York law or otherwise select the laws of New York to govern any of the Operative Documents or any security interest;

(x) any provision purporting to waive any right to claim punitive damages;

(xi) any provision providing for arbitration of disputes; and

(xii) any Collateral which is an accession to, or commingled or processed with, other goods to the extent that the security interest of the Lender Parties is limited by Section 9-314 or 9-315 of the NYUCC or Section 9314 or 9315 of the CUCC.

(d) The enforceability of any provisions of the Operative Documents which are deemed to constitute a subordination of the rights of Lessee or Lessor may be limited by exoneration and other defenses similar to those that may be asserted by any guarantor.

(e) The enforceability of certain remedial and other provisions of the Security Documents, including, without limitation, certain of the waivers therein, may be limited by applicable state and federal laws (including judicial decisions), but such laws do not, in our opinion (subject to the limitations, qualifications and assumptions expressed herein), render any Security Document, taken as a whole, invalid or unenforceable, and each of the Security Documents, taken as a whole, contains adequate provisions for the practical realization by the Lender Parties of the material rights and benefits afforded thereby.

(f) The effectiveness of any Financing Statement will lapse five years from the date the same if filed unless a continuation statement is filed within six months prior to the expiration of that five year period.

(g) Under the NYUCC and CUCC events occurring subsequent to the date hereof may affect any security interest subject to the NYUCC and CUCC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent provided by Article 9 of the NYUCC and Division 9 of the CUCC, additional filings with respect to the Collateral may be necessary to continue perfection of all or certain of the Collateral if (i) Lessee or Lessor changes its name (or any of the Financing Statements otherwise becomes seriously misleading), (ii) any item of Collateral located in California is removed from that state or (iii) Lessee or Lessor changes the jurisdiction in which its chief executive office is located to a jurisdiction other than California.

(h) To the extent that any of the Collateral consists of or constitutes "proceeds" (as such term is defined in sec. 9-306 of the NYUCC), the security interest therein is limited and conditioned as set forth in such Section.

(i) The opinions expressed herein with respect to the creation, attachment or perfection of any security interest: (i) are limited to the opinions expressed in Paragraphs 9(a)(i) and (ii) above and to the Collateral specifically described in the Security Agreement, the Joinder of Lessee, the Lessor Deed of Trust and Lender Deed of Trust, respectively, which is governed by relevant provisions as currently in effect of Article 9 of the NYUCC (for purposes of this paragraph only, the "Covered Collateral"); (ii) do not apply to Collateral requiring perfection procedures other than the filing of a financing statement in the office of the California Secretary of State; and (iii) by reason of the operation of Section 9-103 of the NYUCC, are limited as to our perfection opinions in Paragraphs 9(a)(i) and (ii)(insofar as such opinion governs goods and such other items of the Covered Collateral described in Section 9-103(1)(a) of the NYUCC) to goods and such other items located in the State of California. We express no opinion with respect to the priority of any security interest. We have assumed for purposes of the opinions in Paragraphs 9(a)(i) and (ii) above that the Lessee and Lessor are located in California for purposes of sec. 9-103(3)(b) and sec. 9-103(6)(f) of the NYUCC. We have also assumed for purposes of such opinions that Lessee and Lessor have rights in the Covered Collateral within the meaning of the NYUCC and the CUCC, that all required consents of third parties to the grant of security interests in the Covered Collateral have been obtained and that the Lender Parties (except for Lessor with respect to the attachment and/or and perfection of Lessor's security interests) have given "value" within the meaning of the NYUCC and the CUCC. We have assumed for the purposes of our opinions in Paragraph 9(a)(ii) that the security interests (to which the Deed of Trust Financing Statements and the Lease Financing Statements, respectively, pertain) in the Collateral described in the Deed of Trust Financing Statements in favor of the Agent and in the Collateral described in the Lease Financing Statements in favor of the Lessor, respectively, have attached for purposes of the NYUCC and the CUCC.

(i) Section 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure ("CCP") provides that any action to recover on a debt or other right secured by a mortgage or a deed of trust on real property must comply with the requirements of that section, which requirements relate to and specify the procedures for the sale of encumbered property, the application of proceeds, the rendition in certain cases of a deficiency judgment and other related matters.

action or proceeding, the debtor may require the creditor to exhaust all of its security before a personal judgment may be obtained against the debtor for a deficiency, and failure to comply with the provisions of Section 726 (including an attempt to exercise a right to set off with respect to any funds of the debtor that may be deposited with the creditor from time to time) may result in the creditor's loss of its lien on real property collateral;

(ii) Section 580b of the CCP provides that no deficiency judgment shall be rendered upon a purchase money obligation in favor of the vendor arising from the sale of real property where such purchase money obligation is secured by a lien on the real property purchased from the vendor or in favor of a lender where the proceeds of the loan are used to purchase a one-to-four family dwelling occupied entirely or in part by the borrower and where such loan is secured by a lien on such dwelling;

(iii) Sections 580a and 580d of the CCP, respectively, which (i) limit any deficiency after judicial foreclosure to the excess of the debt over the fair market value of the foreclosed property at the time of sale, and (ii) prevent a deficiency judgment after a nonjudicial or trustee's foreclosure sale pursuant to a power of sale;

(iv) Section 2924c of the CC provides for certain default cure rights following acceleration of the maturity of an obligation secured by a deed of trust or mortgage on real property, which may be exercised at any time within the reinstatement period described in such Section;

(vi) Section 9501 of the CUCC prescribes the rights and remedies of secured creditors with both real and personal property security;

(vii) CCP Sections 729.010 through 729.090 provide for certain redemption and other rights following any judicial foreclosure sale;

(viii) Section 736 of the CCP permits a lender, under certain circumstances, to sue for breach of contract relating to any "environmental provisions" (as therein defined) concerning real property security without foreclosing on the real property security or in an action brought following foreclosure, whether judicial or non-judicial; and

As used above, the term "environmental provision" has the meaning set forth in CCP
Section 736(f)(2).

(q) The effectiveness of the Financing Statements will lapse five years from the date the same is filed unless a continuation statement is filed within six months prior to the expiration of that five year period.

(r) To the extent provided by Division 9 of the CUCC, additional filings with respect to the Collateral may also be necessary to continue perfection of the security interest in all or certain of the Collateral if Lessee or Lessor changes its name (or any Financing Statement otherwise becomes seriously misleading), if any item of Collateral that is located in California is removed from that State or if Lessee or Lessor changes the jurisdiction in which its chief executive office is located to a jurisdiction other than California.

(s) To the extent that any of the Collateral consists of or constitutes "proceeds" (as such term is defined in Section 9306 of the CUCC), the security interest therein is limited and conditioned as set forth in such Section 9306.

We express no opinion with respect to the priority of any security interest. We have assumed for purposes of the opinions in Paragraphs 9(b)(i) and (ii) above that Lessee and Lessor are each located in California for purposes of Section 9103(3)(b) and Section 9103(6)(f) of the CUCC. We have also assumed for purposes of such opinions that Lessee and Lessor each have rights in the Covered Collateral within the meaning of the CUCC, that all required consents of third parties to the grant of security interests in the Covered Collateral have been obtained and that the Lender Parties (except for Lessor with respect to the attachment and/or and perfection of Lessor's security interests) have given "value" within the meaning of the CUCC. We have assumed for the purposes of our opinions in Paragraph 9(b)(ii) that the security interests (to which the Deed of Trust Financing Statements and the Lease Financing Statements, respectively, pertain) in the Collateral described in the Deed of Trust Financing Statements in favor of the Agent and in the Collateral described in the Lease Financing Statements in favor of the Lessor, respectively, have attached for purposes of the CUCC.

(u) We also express no opinion (i) as to the title of the Lessee or Lessor to any Collateral or (ii) as to whether the Lease constitutes a security interest or creates a security interest within the meaning of the CUCC.

(v) We express no opinion (i) with respect to any Collateral of a type described in Section 9401(1)(a) or (b) of the CUCC or represented by any certificate of title, (ii) as to the accuracy or completeness of any description of the Property or any other property or Collateral (including the scope of the term "general intangibles"), or the characterization of any Collateral as real property, personal property, equipment or fixtures and (iii) as to any Collateral which is an accession to, or commingled or processed with, other goods to the extent that the security interest of the Lender Parties is limited by Section 9314 or 9315 of the CUCC.

(w) The rights of Lender Parties in respect of fixtures may be limited by CC Sections 1013, 1013.5 and 1019 and CUCC Section 9313 which concern fixtures and their removal except to the extent that appropriate agreements are obtained from owners and encumbrancers of, and others claiming an interest in, the real property on which such fixtures are located.

(x) We express no opinion as to whether any divisions of real property or any interests therein contemplated by the Operative Documents comply with the Subdivision Map Act (as defined in Section 66410 of the California Government Code) or any city, county or other local rules, ordinances or regulations promulgated by authority thereof or in connection therewith.

(y) We express no opinion as to the title of the Lessee or the Lessor to the Property or any Improvements pursuant to the Lease.

(z) We further advise you that if a court of competent jurisdiction applies the laws of the State of California to a lease of real property located in the State of California, the obligations of Lessee under the Lease may also be affected under California law by the provisions of CC Sections 1932 and 1933 (relating, inter alia, to termination of a lease upon casualty to the leasehold estate) or by Section 1265.130 of the CCP (relating to termination of a lease upon a taking of the leasehold estate for public use in certain circumstances).

(aa) We express no opinion as to the validity, binding nature or enforceability of any provisions of the Operative Documents that:

(ii) purport to require the Lessee or Lessor to make payments without set-off, defense or counterclaim;

(iii) specify the manner of foreclosure or exercise of remedies in respect of deposit accounts insofar as the CUCC does not address the same;

(iv) purport to require the award or payment of attorneys' fees, expenses or costs in any action where any Person is not the prevailing party, or the impact of CC Section 1717 et seq. on any such provisions;

(v) provide that rights or remedies are not exclusive, that every right or remedy is cumulative and may be exercised in addition to or with any other right or remedy, that the election of some particular remedy or remedies does not preclude recourse to one or another remedy or that failure to exercise or delay in exercising rights or remedies will not operate as a waiver of any such right or remedy;

(vi) prohibit waiver of any terms or provisions of the Operative Documents other than in writing or prohibit oral modifications thereof or modification by course of dealing to the extent such provisions are inconsistent with applicable law;

(vii) address arbitration of disputes;

(xii) require the Lessee or Lessor to provide hazard insurance coverage against risks in an amount exceeding the replacement value of any improvements to real property;

(xxii) appoint any Lender Party as Lessee's or Lessor's agent or attorney-in-fact; or

(xxiii) any provision purporting to waive any right to claim punitive damages.

(bb) The enforceability of any provisions of the Operative Documents which are deemed to constitute a subordination of the rights of Lessee or Lessor may be limited by exoneration and other defenses similar to those that may be asserted by any guarantor.

(cc) With respect to the provisions of the Operative Documents relating to the application of condemnation proceeds, you should be aware that CCP Section 1265.225 provides that where there is a partial taking of property encumbered by a lien, the lienholder may share in the award only to the extent determined by the court to be necessary to prevent impairment of the security, and the lien shall continue upon the part of the property not taken as security for the unpaid portion of the indebtedness. However, the lienholder and the property owner may at any time after commencement of the condemnation proceeding agree that some or all of the award shall be apportioned to the lienholder on the indebtedness.

(dd) Notwithstanding our opinions above, we express no opinion as to the enforceability of the power of sale (and the related remedies of Lessor consistent with the characterization of the Transaction as a loan) in the Lease and the Lessor Deed of Trust, where a court of competent jurisdiction has not recharacterized the Transaction, insofar as the Lease is concerned, as a loan from Lessor to Lessee.

(ee) We wish to point out that the Lenders, as holders of the Tranche A Notes and Tranch B Notes, may be required to prove the outstanding amount thereof. We further wish to point out that under Section 18104 of the California Probate Code, the Holders may be required to prove their interests as beneficiaries under the VS Trust 1999-1.

Without qualification of the opinions rendered above, we express no opinion as to (i) whether the Lease or any of the other Operative Documents will be construed to create the legal relationships they purport to create for purposes of determining the rights and obligations of the parties thereto; (ii) whether the legal relationships purported to be created by the Lease or any of the other Operative Documents will be binding and conclusive with respect to the rights of persons who are not parties thereto; or (iii) whether the legal relationships purported to be created by the Lease or any of the other Operative Documents will be respected for tax, accounting, financial or other regulatory purposes.

[Outside Counsel Opinion of the Additional Credit Parties]

(Pursuant To Section 5.10(c) of the Participation Agreement)

TO THOSE ON THE ATTACHED DISTRIBUTION LIST

Re: Synthetic Lease Financing Provided in favor of Veritas Software Corporation

Dear Sirs:

We have acted as special counsel to _______________, a _______________ corporation (the "Joinder Party") in connection with certain transactions contemplated by the Participation Agreement dated as of April 23, 1999 (the "Participation Agreement"), among Veritas Software Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Lessee"), the various parties thereto from time to time, as guarantors (the "Guarantors"), First Security Bank, National Association, as the Owner Trustee (the "Owner Trustee"), the various banks and other lending institutions which are parties thereto from time to time, as holders (the "Holders"), the various banks and other lending institutions which are parties thereto from time to time, as lenders (the "Lenders") and NationsBank, N.A., as the agent for the Lenders and respecting the Security Documents, as the agent for the Lenders and the Holders, to the extent of their interests (the "Agent"). This opinion is delivered pursuant to Section 5.10(c) of the Participation Agreement. All capitalized terms used herein, and not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings assigned thereto in Appendix A to the Participation Agreement.

In connection with the foregoing, we have examined originals, or copies certified to our satisfaction, of the Operative Agreements (including without limitation that certain Joinder Agreement dated as of , (the "Joinder Agreement"), between the Joinder Party and the Agent, and such other corporate, partnership or limited liability company documents and records of the Joinder Party, certificates of public officials and representatives of the Joinder Party as to certain factual matters, and such other instruments and documents which we have deemed necessary or advisable to examine for the purpose of this opinion. With respect to such examination, we have assumed (i) the statements of fact made in all such certificates, documents and instruments are true, accurate and complete; (ii) the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Operative Agreements by the parties thereto other than the Joinder Party; (iii) the genuineness of all signatures (other than the signatures of persons signing on behalf of the Joinder Party), the authenticity and completeness of all documents, certificates, instruments, records and corporate records submitted to us as originals and the conformity to the original

instruments of all documents submitted to us as copies, and the authenticity and completeness of the originals of such copies; (iv) that all parties other than the Joinder Party have all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform the Operative Agreements; and (v) the enforceability of the Operative Agreements against all parties thereto other than the Joinder Party. We have further assumed that the laws of the States of
[STATE OF LAWYER'S ADMISSION] and New York are substantively identical.

Based on the foregoing, and having due regard for such legal considerations as we deem relevant, and subject to the limitations and assumptions set forth herein, including without limitation the matters set forth in the last two (2) paragraphs hereof, we are of the opinion that:

(a) The Joinder Party is a corporation, duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of _____________ and has the power and authority to conduct its business as presently conducted and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Operative Agreements to which it is a party. The Joinder Party is duly qualified to do business in all jurisdictions in which its failure to so qualify would materially impair its ability to perform its obligations under the Operative Agreements to which it is a party or its financial position or its business as now and now proposed to be conducted.

(b) The execution, delivery and performance by the Joinder Party of the Operative Agreements to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Joinder Party and the Operative Agreements to which the Joinder Party is a party have been duly executed and delivered by the Joinder Party.

(c) The Operative Agreements to which the Joinder Party is a party constitute valid and binding obligations of the Joinder Party enforceable against the Joinder Party in accordance with the terms thereof, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, and similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally, and general principles of equity (regardless of whether the application of such principles is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(d) The execution and delivery by the Joinder Party of the Operative Agreements to which it is a party and compliance by the Joinder Party with all of the provisions thereof do not and will not (i) contravene the provisions of, or result in any breach of or constitute any default under, or result in the creation of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens and Lessor Liens) upon any of its property under, its Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws or any indenture, mortgage, chattel mortgage, deed of trust, lease, conditional sales contract, bank loan or credit agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Joinder Party is a party or by which it or any of its property may be bound or affected, or (ii) contravene any Laws or any order of any Governmental Authority applicable to or binding on the Joinder Party.

(e) No Governmental Action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required for the due execution, delivery or performance by the Joinder Party of any of the Operative Agreements to which it is a party or for the acquisition, ownership, construction and completion of the Properties, except for those which have been obtained.

H-1-2

(f) Except as set forth on Schedule 1 hereto, there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or to our knowledge, threatened against the in any court or before any Governmental Authority that concern the Properties or the Joinder Party's interest therein or that question the validity or enforceability of any Operative Agreement to which the Joinder Party is a party or the overall transaction described in the Operative Agreements to which the Joinder Party is a party.

(g) Neither the nature of the Properties, nor any relationship between the Joinder Party and any other Person, nor any circumstance in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of the Operative Agreements to which the Joinder Party is a party is such as to require any approval of stockholders of, or approval or consent of any trustee or holders of indebtedness of, the Joinder Party, except for such approvals and consents which have been duly obtained and are in full force and effect.

(h) Except with respect to (i) perfection and the effect of perfection or nonperfection of the security interest in the Collateral, and (ii) usury law, in any action or proceeding arising out of or related to any of the Operative Agreements in any court of the State of California or in any federal court sitting in the State of California, such court would recognize and give effect to the New York choice of law provisions of the Operative Agreements.

This opinion is limited to the matter stated herein and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters state herein.
