FACILITY LEASE-PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This FACILITY LEASE-PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of August 9, 2013 (this “Facility Lease”), between SOUTHAVEN COMBINED CYCLE GENERATION LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Owner Lessor”), and TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY, a wholly owned corporate agency and instrumentality of the United States (the “Facility Lessee” or “TVA”).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, TVA is the owner of the Southaven Combined Cycle Facility located in the City of Southaven, Mississippi, a combined cycle generating facility with a summer net generation capacity of approximately 774 megawatts (as more particularly described on Exhibit A to this Facility Lease, the “Facility”), which is located on the Facility Site (as more particularly described on Exhibit B to this Facility Lease);
WHEREAS, the Facility Lessee holds title to the Facility, and, pursuant to the Head Lease, the Owner Lessor has leased the Undivided Interest from the Facility Lessee as of the Closing Date for the Head Lease Term;
WHEREAS, the Facility Lessee and the Owner Lessor desire to enter into this Facility Lease, which provides, among other terms, that the Facility Lease Term will commence upon the Closing Date;
WHEREAS, pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of this Facility Lease, the Owner Lessor will sublease the Undivided Interest to the Facility Lessee for the Facility Lease Term;
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Ground Lease, the Owner Lessor is leasing from the Ground Lessor the Ground Interest for the Ground Lease Term; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Ground Sublease, the Owner Lessor will sublease the Ground Interest to the Facility Lessee, as Ground Sublessee, for the term provided therein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, the mutual agreements herein contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1.    DEFINITIONS

Unless the context hereof otherwise requires, capitalized terms used in this Facility Lease, including those in the recitals, and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in Appendix A hereto. The general provisions of such Appendix A shall apply to the terms used in this Facility Lease and specifically defined herein.






SECTION 2.    SUBLEASE OF THE UNDIVIDED INTEREST

Section 2.1.    Sublease of the Undivided Interest. The Owner Lessor hereby subleases the Undivided Interest to the Facility Lessee for the Facility Lease Term, and the Facility Lessee hereby subleases the Undivided Interest from the Owner Lessor for the Facility Lease Term, subject in each case to the terms set forth herein.

Section 2.2    Title; Modifications; Replacements. The Facility Lessee and the Owner Lessor understand and agree that (a) the Head Lessee is leasing a 90% undivided interest in the Facility and all rights in respect thereof from the Head Lessor in accordance with the terms of the Head Lease, (b) this Facility Lease is a sublease and is subject to the Head Lease and the interest of the Head Lessor under the Head Lease, (c) the Head Lessor is retaining a 10% undivided interest in the Facility and all rights in respect thereof, (d) 100% of the legal title to the Facility is vested in the Head Lessor, (e) each of the Owner Lessor (and any permitted successor, assignee or lessee of its 90% undivided interest) and the Facility Lessee (and any successor, assignee or lessee of its 10% undivided interest) shall have a right to nonexclusive possession of the Facility and collectively the Owner Lessor, the Facility Lessee and their respective successors, assignees and lessees shall have the right to exclusive possession of the Facility subject to Permitted Liens, including the Permitted Closing Date Liens, and (f) this Facility Lease is intended to be a lease of personal property under Mississippi law. The Facility Lessee and the Owner Lessor further understand and agree that the Owner Lessor’s Interest shall also include a leasehold interest in the Owner Lessor’s Percentage Interest in (A) all Modifications which are incorporated in the Facility and which pursuant to Section 8.3 hereof become subject to this Facility Lease, and (B) all Replacement Components which become part of the Facility pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof, and that any such Modifications and Replacement Components shall, immediately upon such incorporation or replacement, become subject to this Facility Lease and, so long as the Lien of the Lease Indenture shall not have been terminated or discharged, the Lien of the Lease Indenture.

SECTION 3.    FACILITY LEASE TERM AND RENT

Section 3.1.    Facility Lease Term. The term of this Facility Lease (the “Facility Lease Term”) shall commence on the Closing Date and shall terminate at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, subject to earlier termination (a) in whole pursuant to Sections 15 or 18 hereof, or (b) in part with respect to a Relevant Portion of the Undivided Interest pursuant to Section 15 hereof; provided, however, that if a Significant Lease Default shall have occurred prior to the then scheduled expiration of the Facility Lease Term and is continuing on such date, the Facility Lease Term shall be extended until such time as either (i) such Significant Lease Default has been cured and all relevant amounts due and payable by TVA hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents have been paid, or (ii) the Facility Lessee has delivered possession of the Undivided Interest to the Owner Lessor in accordance with the terms hereof, including as a result of the exercise of the dispossessory remedies set forth in Section 18.2 hereof.

Section 3.2.    Rent. The Facility Lessee hereby agrees to pay to the Owner Lessor basic lease rent (“Basic Lease Rent”) for the lease of the Undivided Interest during the Facility Lease Term in installments payable on each Rent Payment Date in the amount set forth opposite such Rent Payment Date under the






columns entitled “Basic Lease Rent (Debt Portion)” and “Basic Lease Rent (Equity Portion)” on Schedule 1 hereto, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 3.4 hereof. In the event this Facility Lease shall have been terminated in part pursuant to Section 15 with respect to a Relevant Portion of the Undivided Interest, Basic Lease Rent payable on any Rent Payment Date thereafter shall be determined by multiplying the amount calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Units that continue to be subject to this Facility Lease and the Head Lease after giving effect to such termination and the denominator of which is the number of Units subject to this Facility Lease immediately prior to such partial termination, and Basic Lease Rent and Termination Value shall be adjusted downward by such amount in accordance with Section 3.4. All Basic Lease Rent to be paid pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall be payable in the manner set forth in Section 3.5.

Section 3.3.    Supplemental Lease Rent. The Facility Lessee also agrees to pay to the Owner Lessor, or to any other Person entitled thereto as expressly provided herein or in any other Transaction Document, as appropriate, any and all Supplemental Lease Rent, promptly as the same shall become due and owing, or where no due date is specified, promptly after demand by the Person entitled thereto, and on an After-Tax Basis to the extent such Supplemental Lease Rent is paid in order to pay, or reimburse the Owner Lessor or the Lease Indenture Trustee for, costs or expenses of the Owner Lessor or the Lease Indenture Trustee under any Transaction Document and in the event of any failure on the part of the Facility Lessee to pay any Supplemental Lease Rent, the Owner Lessor shall have all rights, powers and remedies provided for herein. The Facility Lessee will also pay as Supplemental Lease Rent, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, an amount equal to interest at the Overdue Rate on any part of any payment of Basic Lease Rent not paid when due for any period for which the same shall be overdue and on any Supplemental Lease Rent not paid when due (whether on demand or otherwise) for the period from such due date until the same shall be paid. All Supplemental Lease Rent to be paid pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall be payable in the manner set forth in Section 3.5.

Section 3.4.    Adjustment of Lease Schedules.

(a)    The Facility Lessee and the Owner Lessor agree that Basic Lease Rent shall be adjusted after the Closing Date, either upwards or downwards, to reflect (i) a reduction in Basic Lease Rent in connection with a partial termination of the Facility Lease pursuant to Section 15 calculated in accordance with the second sentence of Section 3.2, (ii) a reduction in Basic Lease Rent in connection with the prepayment of one or more Southaven Holdco Notes in connection with a Regulatory Event of Loss calculated in accordance with Section 13.2(c), (iii) either a reduction or an increase in Basic Lease Rent to reflect the principal amount, amortization and interest rate on any Additional Lessor Notes issued pursuant to Section 2.12 of the Lease Indenture in connection with (A) a refinancing of the Lessor Notes pursuant to Section 11.1 of the Participation Agreement or (B) a Supplemental Financing pursuant to Section 11.2 of the Participation Agreement, and (iv) a reduction in Basic Lease Rent (Equity Portion) in connection with a termination of the Seven States Profits Interest, calculated pursuant to Section 11.4 of the Participation Agreement. Any adjustments pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall be calculated in a manner to ensure that Basic Lease Rent payable hereunder is in an amount sufficient to (1) enable the Owner Lessor to pay the principal of and interest on the Lessor Notes (after taking into account such Additional Lessor Notes issued pursuant






to Section 11.2 of the Participation Agreement and refinancing of Lessor Notes in accordance with Section 11.1 of the Participation Agreement, as applicable) due and payable on each scheduled payment date in respect of such Lessor Note, and (2) preserve the return on and of the Equity Investment and, in the case of a Supplemental Financing, any Additional Equity Investment made pursuant to Section 11.2 of the Participation Agreement, as contemplated at the time the Equity Investment or Additional Equity Investment, if any, was made through the end of the Facility Lease Term calculated in a manner consistent with the initial calculation of the return on and of the Equity Investment of the Owner Lessor and the Equity Investor, including as to the U.S. federal, state and local income tax consequences of the return on and of such investment and of the receipt of Basic Lease Rent and Supplemental Lease Rent by the Owner Lessor for the payment of amounts due and payable by the Owner Lessor under or with respect to the Lessor Notes or the Lease Indenture; provided that, in connection with any adjustments of Basic Lease Rent (Equity Portion) made pursuant to Section 3.4(a)(iv), or any other adjustment of Basic Lease Rent thereafter, the amount sufficient to preserve the return on and of the Equity Investment under clause (2) above shall be the amount necessary to make principal and interest payments on the Southaven Holdco Notes. The adjustments contemplated by this Section 3.4 will result in corresponding adjustments to the Termination Values. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section 3.4(a) shall be made subject to and in compliance with Section 3.4(b) hereof.

(b)    Anything herein or in any other Transaction Document to the contrary notwithstanding, Basic Lease Rent payable on any Rent Payment Date, whether or not adjusted in accordance with this Section 3.4, shall, in the aggregate, be in an amount at least sufficient to pay in full the scheduled principal of and interest payments on the Lessor Notes on such Rent Payment Date. Anything herein or in any other Transaction Document to the contrary notwithstanding, Termination Values on any date under this Facility Lease, whether or not adjusted in accordance with this Section 3.4, shall, together with Basic Lease Rent due and owing on such date, be in an amount at least sufficient to pay in full the principal of, and accrued interest on, the Lessor Notes payable on such date.

(c)    Any adjustment pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall initially be computed by the Facility Lessee, subject to the verification procedure described in this Section 3.4(c). Once computed, the results of such computation shall promptly be delivered by the Facility Lessee to the Owner Lessor. Within 20 days after the receipt of the results of any such adjustment, the Owner Lessor may request that a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants (which firm shall not be the primary accountants for the Facility Lessee, the Owner Lessor, the Equity Investor or the Lease Indenture Trustee) jointly selected by the Owner Lessor and the Facility Lessee (the “Verifier”) verify, after consultation with the Owner Lessor and the Facility Lessee, the accuracy of such adjustment in accordance with this Section 3.4. The Owner Lessor and the Facility Lessee hereby agree, subject to the execution by the Verifier of an appropriate confidentiality agreement, to provide the Verifier with all information and materials (other than income tax returns) as shall be necessary in connection therewith. If the Verifier confirms that such adjustment is in accordance with this Section 3.4, it shall so certify to the Facility Lessee and the Owner Lessor and such certification shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Facility Lessee, the Owner Lessor and the Equity Investor. If the Verifier concludes that such adjustment is not in accordance with this Section 3.4, and the adjustments to Basic Lease Rent or Termination Value calculated by the Verifier are different from those






calculated by the Facility Lessee, then it shall so certify to the Facility Lessee and the Owner Lessor and the Verifier’s calculation shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Facility Lessee, the Owner Lessor and the Equity Investor. If the Owner Lessor does not request verification of any adjustment within the period specified above, the computation provided by the Facility Lessee shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Facility Lessee, the Owner Lessor and the Equity Investor. The final determination of any adjustment hereunder shall be set forth in an amendment to this Facility Lease, executed and delivered by the Owner Lessor and the Facility Lessee; provided, however, that any omission to execute and deliver such amendment shall not affect the validity and effectiveness of any such adjustment. The reasonable fees, costs and expenses of the Verifier in verifying an adjustment pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall be paid by the Facility Lessee. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the sole responsibility of the Verifier shall be to verify the calculations hereunder and matters of interpretation of this Facility Lease or any other Transaction Document shall not be within the scope of the Verifier’s responsibilities.

Section 3.5.    Manner of Payments. All Rent (whether Basic Lease Rent or Supplemental Lease Rent) shall be paid by the Facility Lessee in lawful currency of the United States of America in immediately available funds to the recipient not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date due. All Rent payable to the Owner Lessor (other than Excepted Payments) shall be paid by the Facility Lessee to the Owner Lessor by payment to the Owner Lessor’s Account, or to such other place as the Owner Lessor shall notify the Facility Lessee in writing; provided, however, that so long as the Lien of the Lease Indenture has not been discharged, the Owner Lessor hereby irrevocably directs (it being agreed and understood that such direction shall be deemed to have been revoked after the Lien of the Lease Indenture shall have been fully discharged in accordance with its terms), and the Facility Lessee agrees, that all payments of Rent (other than Excepted Payments) payable to the Owner Lessor shall be paid by wire transfer directly to the Lease Indenture Trustee’s Account or to such other place as the Lease Indenture Trustee shall notify the Facility Lessee in writing pursuant to the Lease Indenture. Payments constituting Excepted Payments shall be made to the Person entitled thereto at the address for such Person set forth in the Participation Agreement, or to such other place as such Person shall notify the Facility Lessee in writing.

SECTION 4.    DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES; RIGHT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT

Section 4.1.    Disclaimer of Warranties.

(a)    Without waiving any claim the Facility Lessee may have against any manufacturer, vendor or contractor, THE FACILITY LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES SOLELY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE OWNER LESSOR, THE LESSOR MANAGER, THE EQUITY INVESTOR AND THE LEASE INDENTURE TRUSTEE THAT (i) THE FACILITY AND EACH COMPONENT THEREOF IS OF A SIZE, DESIGN, CAPACITY AND MANUFACTURE ACCEPTABLE TO THE FACILITY LESSEE, (ii) THE FACILITY LESSEE IS SATISFIED THAT THE FACILITY AND EACH COMPONENT THEREOF IS SUITABLE FOR THEIR RESPECTIVE PURPOSES, (iii) NONE OF THE OWNER LESSOR, THE LESSOR MANAGER, THE EQUITY INVESTOR OR THE LEASE INDENTURE TRUSTEE IS A MANUFACTURER OR A DEALER IN PROPERTY OF SUCH KIND, (iv) THE UNDIVIDED INTEREST IS LEASED HEREUNDER TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED HEREBY FOR THE FACILITY LEASE TERM SPECIFIED HEREIN SUBJECT TO ALL APPLICABLE LAWS NOW






IN EFFECT OR HEREAFTER ADOPTED, INCLUDING (A) ZONING REGULATIONS, (B) ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS AND (C) BUILDING RESTRICTIONS, AND IN THE STATE AND CONDITION OF EVERY PART THEREOF WHEN THE SAME FIRST BECAME SUBJECT TO THIS FACILITY LEASE, WITHOUT REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND BY THE OWNER LESSOR, THE LESSOR MANAGER, THE EQUITY INVESTOR OR THE LEASE INDENTURE TRUSTEE AND (v) THE OWNER LESSOR LEASES FOR THE FACILITY LEASE TERM SPECIFIED HEREIN AND THE FACILITY LESSEE TAKES THE UNDIVIDED INTEREST UNDER THIS FACILITY LEASE “AS-IS”, “WHERE-IS” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS”, AND THE FACILITY LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NONE OF THE OWNER LESSOR, THE LESSOR MANAGER, THE EQUITY INVESTOR OR THE LEASE INDENTURE TRUSTEE MAKES NOR SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE, AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS, ANY AND ALL RIGHTS, CLAIMS, WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE VALUE, CONDITION, FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DESIGN, OPERATION, MERCHANTABILITY OF THE UNDIVIDED INTEREST OR AS TO THE TITLE TO THE UNDIVIDED INTEREST, THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP OF THE FACILITY OR CONFORMITY THEREOF TO SPECIFICATIONS, FREEDOM FROM PATENT, COPYRIGHT OR TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT, THE ABSENCE OF ANY LATENT OR OTHER DEFECT, WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE, OR AS TO THE ABSENCE OF ANY OBLIGATIONS BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT OR ANY OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT THERETO, except that the Owner Lessor represents and warrants that on the Closing Date, the Undivided Interest will be free of Owner Lessor’s Liens. It is agreed that all such risks, as between the Owner Lessor, the Lessor Manager, the Equity Investor and the Lease Indenture Trustee on the one hand and the Facility Lessee on the other hand are to be borne by the Facility Lessee with respect to acts, occurrences or omissions prior to or during the Facility Lease Term. None of the Owner Lessor, the Lessor Manager, the Equity Investor or the Lease Indenture Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability to the Facility Lessee or any other Person with respect to any of the following: (1) any liability, loss or damage caused or alleged to be caused directly or indirectly by the Facility or any Component or by any inadequacy thereof or deficiency or defect therein or by any other circumstances in connection therewith; (2) the use, operation or performance of the Facility, any Unit or any Component thereof or any risks relating thereto; or (3) the construction, delivery, operation, servicing, maintenance, repair, improvement, replacement or decommissioning of the Facility, any Unit or any Component thereof. The provisions of this Section 4.1(a) have been negotiated, and, except to the extent otherwise expressly stated, the foregoing provisions are intended to be a complete exclusion and negation of any representations or warranties of the Owner Lessor, the Lessor Manager, the Equity Investor and the Lease Indenture Trustee, express or implied, with respect to the Undivided Interest, the Facility, any Unit or any Components thereof that may arise pursuant to any Applicable Law now or hereafter in effect, or otherwise.

(b)    From and after the Effective Date, the Owner Lessor hereby appoints irrevocably and constitutes the Facility Lessee its agent and attorney-in-fact for the duration of the Facility Lease Term, coupled with an interest, to assert and enforce, from time to time so long as the Owner Lessor does not have the right to exercise remedies pursuant to Section 18.2, in the name and for the account of the Owner Lessor and the Facility Lessee, as their interests may appear, but in all cases at the sole cost and expense of the






Facility Lessee, whatever claims and rights the Owner Lessor may have in respect of the Undivided Interest, the Facility, any Unit or any Component thereof, against any manufacturer, vendor or contractor, or under any express or implied warranties relating to the Undivided Interest, the Facility, any Unit or any Component thereof; provided, however, that, the Owner Lessor may revoke such appointment, by written notice to the Facility Lessee, if (i) a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) any manufacturer, vendor or contractor is in default or otherwise not in compliance with its obligations or warranties relating to the Facility, the Unit or any Component thereof and (iii) the Facility Lessee has failed to diligently pursue the enforcement of rights under the respective warranties against such manufacturer, vendor or contractor, and such failure could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the operation and maintenance of the Facility or the Facility Site.

Section 4.2.    Quiet Enjoyment. The Owner Lessor expressly agrees that, notwithstanding any provision of any other Transaction Document, but without limiting the rights and remedies which may be available to the Owner Lessor (and the Lease Indenture Trustee as its assignee) under and in accordance with Section 18, neither it, the Lessor Manager, the Equity Investor, the Equity Manager nor any other party acting by, through or under the Owner Lessor, the Lessor Manager, the Equity Investor or the Equity Manager shall interfere with or interrupt the quiet enjoyment of the use, operation and possession by the Facility Lessee of the Undivided Interest prior to the expiration or early termination of this Facility Lease in accordance with the terms hereof.

SECTION 5.    RETURN OF UNDIVIDED INTEREST

Section 5.1.    Return. Upon the early termination of this Facility Lease pursuant to Section 18.2 or, if the Facility Lessee shall fail to satisfy the requirements set forth in Section 16, the exercise of dispossessory remedies under Section 18.2 on or after the Expiration Date, the Facility Lessee, at its own expense, shall deliver possession of the Undivided Interest (together with the Owner Lessor’s Percentage Interest in all Modifications to the Facility that shall have become subject to the Head Lease pursuant to Section 9 of the Head Lease and this Facility Lease pursuant to Section 8.3 hereof), subject to the terms and conditions of the Support Agreement, to the Owner Lessor or any permitted transferee or assignee of the Owner Lessor. The Facility Lessee shall effect delivery of the Undivided Interest at its own cost and expense by surrendering the Undivided Interest into the possession of the Owner Lessor or such transferee or assignee and by executing and delivering to the Owner Lessor or such transferee or assignee an instrument or instruments in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Owner Lessor evidencing surrender by the Facility Lessee of the Facility Lessee’s right to the Undivided Interest under this Facility Lease and to the possession thereof. In connection with such return, the Facility Lessee shall, subject to the terms and conditions of the Support Agreement, (a) assign, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, and shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of the Owner Lessor for purposes of obtaining, or enabling the Equity Investor, the Owner Lessor or such transferees or assignees to obtain, any and all licenses, permits, approvals and consents of any Governmental Entities or other Persons that are or will be required to be obtained by the Equity Investor, the Owner Lessor or such transferee or assignee in connection with the use, operation or maintenance of the Facility and the Undivided Interest on or after such return in compliance with Applicable Law; and (b) provide






the Owner Lessor or a permitted transferee or assignee of the Owner Lessor, subject to any equipment manufacturer-imposed conditions of confidentiality, copies of all documents, instruments, plans, maps, specifications, manuals, drawings and other documentary materials relating to the installation, maintenance, operation, construction, design, modification or repair of the Undivided Interest, the Facility or any portion thereof, as shall be in the Facility Lessee’s possession and shall be reasonably appropriate or necessary for the ownership, possession, operation or maintenance of the Undivided Interest or the Facility.

Section 5.2.    Condition Upon Delivery of Possession to Owner Lessor. In connection with the delivery of possession of the Undivided Interest by the Facility Lessee to the Owner Lessor pursuant to Section 5.1, the Facility Lessee shall ensure, at the Facility Lessee’s sole cost and expense, that the Undivided Interest or the Facility, as applicable, complies with each of the following conditions:

(a)    the Facility (including all Required Modifications and Nonseverable Modifications) will be in at least as good condition as if it had been maintained, repaired and operated during the Facility Lease Term in compliance with the provisions of this Facility Lease, ordinary wear and tear and degradation excepted;

(b)    the Undivided Interest shall be free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Post Facility Lease Term Liens;

(c)    the Facility control capability will be operational such that the Facility can be operated independently of any other power generation facility owned or operated by the Facility Lessee;

(d)    the Facility shall have at least the capability and functional ability to perform, substantially at the ratings for which it was designed in normal commercial operation, all functions for which it was designed (normal wear and tear and degradation excepted);

(e)    no Component shall be a temporary Component and any Replacement Component shall comply with Prudent Industry Practice; and

(f)    the Facility Lessee, at the request of the Owner Lessor, shall lease (subject to all existing encumbrances) to the Owner Lessor (or its designee) at the then Fair Market Rental Value thereof under the Head Lease, determined by agreement between the Facility Lessee and the Owner Lessor or, absent agreement, by an appraisal conducted according to the Appraisal Procedures, the Owner Lessor’s Percentage Interest in any or all Optional Modifications that are Removable Modifications and which have been made to the Facility during the Facility Lease Term and have not been removed prior to termination of this Facility Lease or the exercise of dispossessory remedies under Section 18.2. The Facility Lessee shall enter into any amendments or modifications to the Head Lease necessary to cause such Optional Modifications or Removable Modifications to be subject thereto; provided that, title to such Optional Modifications or Removable Modifications will remain vested in the Head Lessor. The appraiser’s fees and expenses incurred pursuant to this clause (f) shall be paid by the Owner Lessor.






Section 5.3.    Environmental Assessment. In connection with the delivery of possession of the Undivided Interest by the Facility Lessee to the Owner Lessor pursuant to Section 5.1, the Facility Lessee shall, at the reasonable request of the Owner Lessor, arrange for the preparation and delivery as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than ninety (90) days following such request, which request may be given at any time during the continuance of a Significant Lease Default (provided that in the case of a Significant Lease Default of the type described in clause (i) or (ii) of the definition thereof, only if such Significant Lease Default has been continuing for at least forty-five (45) days), of a Phase I or comparable environmental assessment prepared by a licensed environmental consulting firm (selected by the Facility Lessee and reasonably acceptable to the Lease Indenture Trustee, so long as the Lien of the Lease Indenture shall not have been terminated or discharged, and the Owner Lessor) identifying any Environmental Condition on, under or relating to the Facility and the Facility Site, including the compliance or non-compliance thereof with Environmental Law. In the event the Phase I discloses an Environmental Condition that requires a response action pursuant to any applicable Environmental Law or discloses non-compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, the Facility Lessee shall, at its own cost and expense, make arrangements for the prompt and diligent correction or remediation, in compliance with applicable Environmental Law, of such Environmental Condition or non-compliance and shall promptly reimburse the Owner Lessor for all reasonable costs and expenses, if any, incurred by the Owner Lessor associated with such corrective measures.

Section 5.4.    Deferred Maintenance on the Facility. In connection with the delivery of possession of the Undivided Interest by the Facility Lessee to the Owner Lessor pursuant to Section 5.1, the Facility Lessee will, at the cost and expense of the Facility Lessee, perform such maintenance on the Facility that is required to satisfy the conditions described in Section 5.2. If the Facility Lessee is unable to perform such requested maintenance, it will use reasonable efforts to arrange on behalf of the Owner Lessor and with no liability to the Owner Lessor to have such maintenance performed by a Person acceptable to the Owner Lessor. The Facility Lessee shall promptly pay such rates charged by any Person in connection with such requested maintenance.

SECTION 6.    LIENS

The Facility Lessee will not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on or with respect to the Undivided Interest or any interest therein or in, to or on its interest in this Facility Lease or its interest in any other Transaction Document, except Permitted Liens, and the Facility Lessee shall promptly notify the Owner Lessor of the imposition of any such Lien of which the Facility Lessee is aware and shall promptly, at its own expense, take such action as may be necessary to fully discharge or release any such Lien.
SECTION 7.    MAINTENANCE; REPLACEMENTS OF COMPONENTS

Section 7.1.    Maintenance. The Facility Lessee, at its own cost and expense, will (a) cause the Facility to be maintained in accordance with Prudent Industry Practice, and will not operate the Facility other than in compliance with all Applicable Laws of any Governmental Entity having jurisdiction (provided that the Facility Lessee may contest, in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, the validity or applicability of any such Applicable Law), and (b) make, or cause to be made, all necessary repairs, renewals and






replacements thereof in accordance with Prudent Industry Practice. Nothing in this Facility Lease or in the other Transaction Documents will require TVA to operate the Facility; provided that, if and when TVA does operate the Facility, the Facility shall be operated in accordance with Prudent Industry Practice.

Section 7.2.     Replacement of Components. In the ordinary course of maintenance, service, repair or testing, the Facility Lessee, at its own cost and expense, may remove or cause or permit to be removed from the Facility any Component; provided, however, that the Facility Lessee shall cause such Component to be replaced by a replacement Component which shall be free and clear of all Liens (except Liens on TVA’s Percentage Interest therein and other Permitted Liens) and in as good operating condition as the Component replaced, assuming that the Component replaced was maintained in accordance with this Facility Lease (each such replacement Component being herein referred to as a “Replacement Component”). If any Component that is subject to the Head Lease and this Facility Lease is at any time removed from the Facility, such Component shall remain subject to the Head Lease and this Facility Lease, wherever located, until such time as such Component shall be replaced by a Replacement Component that has been incorporated in the Facility and that meets the requirements for Replacement Components specified above. Immediately upon any Replacement Component becoming incorporated in the Facility, without further act (and at no cost to the Owner Lessor and with no adjustment to Basic Lease Rent or Termination Value), (a) the removed Component shall no longer be subject to the Head Lease, this Facility Lease or the Lien of the Lease Indenture, and shall be free and clear of all rights of the Owner Lessor and the Lease Indenture Trustee, and (b) the Owner Lessor’s Percentage Interest in the Replacement Component shall automatically (i) become subject to the Head Lease, this Facility Lease and, so long as the Lien of the Lease Indenture shall not have been terminated or discharged, the Lien of the Lease Indenture and (ii) be deemed a part of the Undivided Interest for all purposes of the Head Lease and this Facility Lease. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.2 or elsewhere in this Facility Lease to the contrary, if the Facility Lessee has determined that a Component is surplus or obsolete and not necessary for the operation of the Facility in accordance with this Facility Lease, the Facility Lessee shall have the right to remove such Component without replacing such Component, and upon such removal, the removed Component shall no longer be subject to the Head Lease, this Facility Lease or the Lien of the Lease Indenture.

SECTION 8.    MODIFICATIONS

Section 8.1.    Required Modifications. The Facility Lessee, at its own cost and expense, shall make or cause or permit to be made all Modifications to the Facility as are required by Applicable Law or any Governmental Entity having jurisdiction (each, a “Required Modification”); provided, however, that the Facility Lessee may, in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, diligently contest the validity or application of any Applicable Law in any reasonable manner which does not involve any material risk of (a) foreclosure, sale, forfeiture or loss of, or imposition of a material Lien on the Undivided Interest or any impairment of the use, operation or maintenance of the Facility in any material respect, or (b) any criminal or material civil liability being imposed on the Lessor Manager, the Equity Investor, the Equity Manager, any Southaven Holdco Note Purchaser, the Owner Lessor, the Lease Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder.






Section 8.2.    Optional Modifications. The Facility Lessee at any time may, at its own cost and expense and without the consent of any other Person, make or cause or permit to be made any Modification to the Facility as the Facility Lessee considers desirable in the proper conduct of its business (any such Modification which is not a Required Modification being referred to as an “Optional Modification”).

Section 8.3.    Title to Modifications. Title to all Modifications shall be with the Head Lessor. The Owner Lessor’s Percentage Interest in all Required Modifications, all Nonseverable Modifications and all Modifications financed by the Owner Lessor by an Additional Equity Investment or a Supplemental Financing pursuant to Section 11.2 of the Participation Agreement shall (at no cost to the Owner Lessor and with no adjustment to Head Lease Rent, or except in the case of a Supplemental Financing and Additional Equity Investment, Basic Lease Rent or Termination Value) automatically upon being affixed to or incorporated into the Facility (a) become subject to the Head Lease and this Facility Lease and, so long as the Lien of the Lease Indenture shall not have been terminated or discharged, the Lien of the Lease Indenture and (b) be deemed part of the Undivided Interest for all purposes of the Head Lease and this Facility Lease. The Facility Lessee, at its own cost and expense, shall take such steps as either the Owner Lessor or, so long as the Lien of the Lease Indenture shall not have been terminated or discharged, the Lease Indenture Trustee may reasonably require from time to time to confirm that the Owner Lessor’s Percentage Interest in the Modifications set forth in the preceding sentence are subject to the Head Lease and this Facility Lease and, so long as the Lien of the Lease Indenture shall not have been terminated or discharged, the Lien of the Lease Indenture. No Optional Modification which is a Severable Modification (other than such Optional Modifications which are financed by the Owner Lessor by an Additional Equity Investment or a Supplemental Financing pursuant to Section 11.2 of the Participation Agreement, any such Optional Modification that is a Severable Modification that has not been so financed is referred to as a “Removable Modification”) shall become subject to the Head Lease and this Facility Lease or the Lien of the Lease Indenture unless the Owner Lessor shall have elected to lease, in accordance with Section 5.2, such Removable Modification. Removable Modifications may be removed by the Facility Lessee at any time prior to the exercise by the Owner Lessor of its remedies under Section 18.2 at the Facility Lessee’s cost and expense. The Facility Lessee will repair, at its own cost and expense, any damage caused by its removal of any Removable Modifications.

SECTION 9.    NET LEASE

This Facility Lease is a “net lease” and the Facility Lessee’s obligation to pay all Basic Lease Rent payable hereunder, as well as any Termination Value (or amount computed by reference thereto) in lieu of Basic Lease Rent following termination of this Facility Lease, shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and shall not be terminated, extinguished, diminished, lost or otherwise impaired by any circumstance of any character, including by (a) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which the Facility Lessee may have against the Owner Lessor, the Lessor Manager, the Equity Investor, the Equity Manager, any Southaven Holdco Note Purchaser, or the Lease Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders or any other Person, including any claim as a result of any breach by any of said parties of any covenant or provision in this Facility Lease or any other Transaction Document, (b) any lack or invalidity of title or other






interest or any defect in the title or other interest, condition, design, operation, merchantability or fitness for use of the Facility or any Component or any portion thereof, or any eviction by paramount title or otherwise, or any unavailability of the Facility, the Facility Site, any Component or any portion thereof, (c) any loss or destruction of, or damage to, the Facility, the Facility Site or any Component or any portion thereof or interruption or cessation in the use or possession thereof or any part thereof by the Facility Lessee for any reason whatsoever and of whatever duration, (d) the condemnation, requisitioning, expropriation, seizure or other taking of title to or use of the Facility, the Undivided Interest, the Facility Site, the Ground Interest, any Component, or any part of the foregoing, by any Governmental Entity or otherwise, (e) the invalidity or unenforceability or lack of due authorization or other infirmity of this Facility Lease or any other Transaction Document, (f) the lack of right, power or authority of the Owner Lessor to enter into this Facility Lease or any other Transaction Document, (g) any ineligibility of the Facility, the Facility Site or any Component or any portion thereof for any particular use, whether or not due to any failure of the Facility Lessee to comply with any Applicable Law, (h) any event of “force majeure”, (i) any legal requirement similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, any present or future law to the contrary notwithstanding, (j) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding by or against the Facility Lessee or any other Person, (k) any Lien of any Person with respect to the Undivided Interest, the Facility, the Ground Interest or the Facility Site or any Component or any portion thereof, or (l) any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, any present or future law notwithstanding, except as expressly set forth herein or in any other Transaction Document, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all Basic Lease Rent (and all amounts, including Termination Value (or amounts computed by reference thereto), in lieu of Basic Lease Rent following termination of this Facility Lease in whole or in part) payable by the Facility Lessee hereunder shall continue to be payable in all events in the manner and at times provided for herein. All Rent, including Basic Lease Rent (and all amounts, including Termination Value (or amounts computed by reference thereto), in lieu of Basic Lease Rent following termination of this Facility Lease in whole or in part), shall not be subject to any abatement and the payments thereof shall not be subject to any setoff or reduction for any reason whatsoever, including any present or future claims of the Facility Lessee or any other Person against the Owner Lessor or any other Person under this Facility Lease or otherwise. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Facility Lessee hereby waives any and all rights which it may now have or which at any time hereafter may be conferred upon it, by statute or otherwise, to terminate, cancel, quit or surrender this Facility Lease except in accordance with Sections 10, 13 or 15 hereof. If for any reason whatsoever this Facility Lease shall be terminated in whole or in part by operation of law or otherwise, except as specifically provided herein, the Facility Lessee nonetheless agrees, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, to pay to the Owner Lessor an amount equal to each installment of Basic Lease Rent and all Supplemental Lease Rent due and owing, at the time such payment would have become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof had this Facility Lease not been so terminated. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to waive any claim which the Facility Lessee might have under any of the Transaction Documents or otherwise or to limit the right of the Facility Lessee separately to make any claim it might have against the Owner Lessor or any other Person or to separately pursue such claim in such manner as the Facility Lessee shall deem appropriate.






SECTION 10.    EVENTS OF LOSS

Section 10.1.    Occurrence of Events of Loss. The Facility Lessee will promptly notify the Owner Lessor and, so long as the Lien of the Lease Indenture shall not have been terminated or discharged, the Lease Indenture Trustee of any damage to, or other event with respect to, any portion of the Facility which the Facility Lessee reasonably anticipates will cause an Event of Loss. If an Event of Loss shall occur, then no later than eighteen (18) months following such occurrence, the Facility Lessee shall notify the Owner Lessor and, so long as the Lien of the Lease Indenture shall not have been terminated or discharged, the Lease Indenture Trustee, in writing of its election to either (a) subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 10.3(a), rebuild or replace the Facility or a Relevant Portion of the Facility or (b) terminate this Facility Lease, in whole or in part with respect to a Relevant Portion of the Undivided Interest, as the case may be, by electing to effect an Early Buy Out pursuant to Section 15.1 hereof; provided, however, that the Facility Lessee may only elect to terminate the Facility Lease in part with respect to a Relevant Portion of the Undivided Interest to the extent that the Unit or Units not suffering an Event of Loss continue to be (or will be, after repairing in accordance with this Facility Lease any damage to such remaining Units which may have occurred as a result of the Event of Loss to a Relevant Portion of the Facility to which such partial termination relates) commercially viable in accordance with Prudent Industry Practice. Subject to the last sentence of Section 15.1, the Facility Lessee may elect the option provided in clause (b) of the preceding sentence regardless of whether a Relevant Portion of the Facility is to be rebuilt or replaced. If the Facility Lessee fails to make an election as provided above, an Event of Loss shall be deemed to occur with respect to the Facility or, if the Event of Loss relates to less than all of the Units, a Relevant Portion of the Facility, as of the end of the eighteen- (18-) month period referred to in the second sentence of this Section 10.1 and the Facility Lessee will be deemed to have made the election to terminate this Facility Lease, in whole or in part, as the case may be, by exercising its Early Buy Out pursuant to Section 15.2 and will be deemed to have delivered an Early Buy Out Notice pursuant to Section 15.2 as of the end of such eighteen- (18-) month period.

Section 10.2.    Condemnation Payments. Any payments received at any time by the Owner Lessor, the Lease Indenture Trustee or the Facility Lessee from any Governmental Entity as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Loss described in clause (c) of the definition of Event of Loss shall be promptly paid to the Owner Lessor or, if the Lien of the Lease Indenture shall not have been discharged or terminated, to the Lease Indenture Trustee, to be held as security for the Facility Lessee’s obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, and shall be promptly applied, first, to satisfy the Facility Lessee’s obligation to pay Termination Value and other amounts required to be paid by it under Section 15.2(a), if any, and, so long as no Significant Lease Default shall then have occurred and be continuing, the balance shall be paid to or retained by, as applicable, the Facility Lessee.

Section 10.3.    Rebuild or Replace. The Facility Lessee’s right to rebuild or replace the Facility or any Relevant Portion of the Facility pursuant to Section 10.1(a) shall be subject to the fulfillment, at the Facility Lessee’s sole cost and expense, in addition to the conditions contained in said clause (a), of the following conditions:






(a)    the Facility Lessee shall cause the rebuilding or replacement of the Facility or any Relevant Portion of the Facility to commence as soon as reasonably practicable after notifying the Owner Lessor and, so long as the Lien of the Lease Indenture shall not have been terminated or discharged, the Lease Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 10.1(a) of its election to rebuild or replace the Facility or any Relevant Portion of the Facility, and in all events within thirty-six (36) months of the occurrence of the event that caused such Event of Loss, and will cause work on such rebuilding or replacement to proceed diligently thereafter. As the rebuilding or replacement of the Facility or any Relevant Portion of the Facility progresses and title to the rebuilt or replacement Facility or Relevant Portion of the Facility vests in the Head Lessor, an undivided interest equal to the Owner Lessor’s Percentage Interest in the rebuilt or replacement facilities shall become subject to the Head Lease, this Facility Lease and, so long as the Lien of the Lease Indenture shall not have been terminated or discharged, the Lien of the Lease Indenture and be deemed a part of the Undivided Interest for all purposes of the Head Lease and this Facility Lease, automatically without any further act by any Person; and

(b)    within thirty (30) days after the date of the completion of such rebuilding or replacement (the “Rebuilding Closing Date”) the following documents shall be duly authorized, executed and delivered and, if appropriate, filed for recordation by the respective party or parties thereto and shall be in full force and effect, and an executed counterpart of each thereof shall be delivered to the Owner Lessor, the Lessor Manager and, so long as the Lien of the Lease Indenture shall not have been terminated or discharged, the Lease Indenture Trustee: (i) supplements to the Head Lease and this Facility Lease subjecting the Owner Lessor’s Percentage Interest in the rebuilt or replacement facilities to the Head Lease and this Facility Lease (with no change in Head Lease Rent or in Basic Lease Rent as a result of such rebuilding or replacement), (ii) so long as the Lien of the Lease Indenture shall not have been terminated or discharged, supplements to the Lease Indenture subjecting the Owner Lessor’s Percentage Interest in the rebuilt or replacement facilities to the Lien of the Lease Indenture, (iii) such recordings and filings as may be reasonably requested by the Owner Lessor or the Lease Indenture Trustee to be made or filed, (iv) an opinion of counsel of the Facility Lessee, such counsel and such opinion to be reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Lessor and, so long as the Lien of the Lease Indenture shall not have been terminated or discharged, the Lease Indenture Trustee to the effect that (A) the supplements to the Head Lease and this Facility Lease required by clause (i) above constitute effective instruments for subjecting the Owner Lessor’s Percentage Interest in the rebuilt or replacement facilities to the Head Lease and this Facility Lease, (B) the supplements to the Lease Indenture required by clause (ii) above, if any, constitute effective instruments for subjecting the Owner Lessor’s Percentage Interest in the rebuilt or replacement facilities to the Lien of the Lease Indenture, and (C) all filings and other action necessary to perfect and protect the Owner Lessor’s and, if applicable, the Lease Indenture Trustee’s interest in the rebuilt or replacement facilities have been accomplished, (v) a report by an independent engineer certifying that the rebuilt or replacement facilities are in a state of repair and condition required by this Facility Lease, and (vi) an Officer’s Certificate of the Facility Lessee as to compliance with this Section 10.3 and that no Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as a result of the rebuilding or replacement.

Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Section 10.3 are consummated, the Facility Lessee agrees to pay or reimburse, on an After-Tax Basis, any costs or expenses (including reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses) incurred by the Owner Lessor, the Lessor Manager and the Lease






Indenture Trustee in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 10.3.
Section 10.4.    Application of Payments Not Relating to an Event of Loss. In the event that during the Facility Lease Term the use of all or any portion of the Facility is requisitioned or taken by or pursuant to a request of any Governmental Entity under the power of eminent domain or otherwise for a period which does not constitute an Event of Loss, the Facility Lessee’s obligation to pay all installments of Basic Lease Rent shall continue for the duration of such requisitioning or taking. The Facility Lessee shall be entitled to receive and retain for its own account all sums payable for any such period by such Governmental Entity as compensation for such requisition or taking of possession; provided, however, that if at the time of such payment a Significant Lease Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all such sums shall be paid to and held by the Lease Indenture Trustee, so long as the Lien of the Lease Indenture shall not have been terminated or discharged, or thereafter, the Owner Lessor as security for the obligations of the Facility Lessee under this Facility Lease, and such amount shall be paid to the Facility Lessee only at such time as no Significant Lease Default shall be continuing.

SECTION 11.    INSURANCE

Section 11.1.    Insurance by Owner Lessor. At any time, the Owner Lessor (either directly or in the name of the Equity Investor), the Equity Investor or the Lease Indenture Trustee may at its own expense and for its own account carry insurance with respect to its interest in the Undivided Interest or the Ground Interest. Any insurance payments received from policies maintained by the Owner Lessor, the Equity Investor or the Lease Indenture Trustee pursuant to the previous sentence shall be retained by the Owner Lessor, the Equity Investor or the Lease Indenture Trustee, as the case may be.

Section 11.2.    Insurance by the Facility Lessee.

(a)    If and for so long as the Facility Lessee is rated less than BBB+ by S&P or Baa1 by Moody’s, the Facility Lessee shall maintain (or cause to be maintained) property and commercial general liability insurance with respect to the Facility customarily carried by other operators of similar facilities of comparable size as the Facility and against such loss, damage or liability and with such deductibles as are customarily insured against. Any such liability insurance required to be maintained pursuant to this Section 11.2(a) shall name the Owner Lessor, the Equity Investor, the Southaven Holdco Note Purchasers and, so long as the Lien of the Lease Indenture shall not have been terminated or discharged, the Indenture Trustee as additional insureds. Any such property insurance required to be maintained pursuant to this Section 11.2(a) shall, so long as the Lien of the Lease Indenture shall not have been terminated or discharged, name the Lease Indenture Trustee (or the Owner Lessor if the Lien of the Lease Indenture has been discharged) as loss payee with respect to any claim in excess of $20 million and such amounts shall be paid to the Facility Lessee as and when needed to pay or reimburse the Facility Lessee for any costs to repair the damage to which such claim relates, with the balance, if any paid to the Facility Lessee upon completion of such repairs, or applied at the direction of the Facility Lessee to pay Termination Value or any other amounts payable by the Facility Lessee under Section 15 in connection with an Event of Loss. During the period the Facility Lessee is required to maintain insurance pursuant to this Section 11.2(a), the Facility Lessee shall no less frequently






than annually provide the Owner Lessor, the Equity Investor and, so long as the Lien of the Lease Indenture shall not have been terminated or discharged, the Lease Indenture Trustee, a description of the insurance it is maintaining pursuant to this Section 11.2 and evidence which may at the Facility Lessee’s option, be in the form of an Officer’s Certificate, that all premiums in respect of such policies are current and that such insurance is in effect.

(b)    Notwithstanding Section 11.2(a), the Facility Lessee agrees that if and to the extent the Facility Lessee is insuring other gas-fired, combined cycle generating facilities similar to the Facility which are owned or leased by the Facility Lessee or self-insures for third party liability for the Facility Lessee’s operation of such other facilities owned or leased by the Facility Lessee, the Facility Lessee shall maintain (or cause to be maintained) insurance for property damage or third party liability, as the case may be, with respect to the Facility in comparable amounts, with comparable deductibles and on other terms substantially comparable to the insurance maintained with respect to such other facilities.

SECTION 12.    INSPECTION

During the Facility Lease Term, the Owner Lessor, and, so long as the Lien of the Lease Indenture shall not have been terminated or discharged, the Lease Indenture Trustee and their representatives may, during normal business hours, on reasonable notice to the Facility Lessee and at their own risk and expense (except, at the expense but not risk, of the Facility Lessee when a Significant Lease Default or a Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), inspect the Facility and the records with respect to the operations and maintenance thereof, in the Facility Lessee’s custody; provided, however, that so long as no Significant Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each such Person (together with their representatives) shall only be entitled to make one inspection in any twelve- (12-) month period; provided, further, that the limitations on the number of inspections included in the preceding proviso shall not apply with respect to any such inspection made in connection with the occurrence of (a) a catastrophic failure of any Component or system which causes a forced outage in excess of sixty (60) days, (b) failure or malfunction of any equipment resulting in serious injury or death, (c) a significant curtailment of operations due to a final, nonappealable order of a Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over Environmental Laws or safety, or (d) cessation of operations of the Facility for more than one-hundred and eighty (180) days. Any such inspection will not unreasonably interfere with the operation or maintenance of the Facility or the conduct by the Facility Lessee of its business and will be in accordance with Applicable Law and the Facility Lessee’s safety and security precautions and confidentiality undertakings, as applicable. In no event shall the Owner Lessor, the Lessor Manager, the Equity Investor or the Lease Indenture Trustee have any duty or obligation to make any such inspection and such Persons shall not incur any liability or obligation by reason of not making any such inspection.
SECTION 13.    REGULATORY EVENT OF LOSS

Section 13.1.    Occurrence of a Regulatory Event of Loss. The Owner Lessor and the Equity Investor shall promptly notify the Facility Lessee and, so long as the Lien of the Lease Indenture shall not have been terminated or discharged, the Lease Indenture Trustee, of an event or occurrence of which it has Actual Knowledge that it reasonably believes constitutes a Regulatory Event of Loss with respect to it. Such notice






shall specify in reasonable detail the event or occurrence giving rise to such Regulatory Event of Loss and the materially burdensome rate of return regulation or other applicable public utility law or regulation of a Governmental Entity. The Owner Lessor, the Equity Investor and the Facility Lessee shall reasonably cooperate and take reasonable measures to alleviate such Regulatory Event of Loss at the cost and expense of the party requesting such cooperation. The Owner Lessor or the Equity Investor may elect to declare a Regulatory Event of Loss by giving notice to the Facility Lessee within twelve (12) months of obtaining Actual Knowledge of an event or circumstance which upon the giving of such notice would be a Regulatory Event of Loss (the “Election Notice”).

Section 13.2.    Procedure for Termination With Respect to a Regulatory Event of Loss. If a Regulatory Event of Loss occurs, then, within sixty (60) days of receiving the Election Notice from the Owner Lessor or the Equity Investor, the Facility Lessee shall elect one of the following:

(a)    If the event or occurrence giving rise to such Regulatory Event of Loss would be alleviated by transferring one or more Southaven Holdco Notes to the Facility Lessee, the Facility Lessee may purchase such Southaven Holdco Notes from the applicable Southaven Holdco Note Purchaser on the next succeeding Termination Date, for an amount equal to the Regulatory Event of Loss Termination Payment, in which case each such Southaven Holdco Note Purchaser shall transfer all of its right, title and interest in its Southaven Holdco Note by appropriate instruments of transfer without representations (other than that such Southaven Holdco Note is free and clear of any Liens) to the Facility Lessee or such other Person as the Facility Lessee shall designate;

(b)    If the event or occurrence giving rise to such Regulatory Event of Loss would be alleviated by transferring one or more Southaven Holdco Notes to another Person, the Facility Lessee may pay each Southaven Holdco Note Purchaser that holds such Southaven Holdco Notes on the next succeeding Termination Date the amount, if any, by which (i) the Regulatory Event of Loss Termination Payment, exceeds (ii) the net proceeds of the sale of such Southaven Holdco Note Purchaser’s Southaven Holdco Note pursuant to this clause (b) received by such Southaven Holdco Note Purchaser; provided that, if the Facility Lessee elects to make the payment pursuant to this clause (b), then such Southaven Holdco Note Purchaser shall sell its Southaven Holdco Note in such manner, to such Person and at such price as directed by the Facility Lessee, at the cost and expense of the Facility Lessee; provided, however, that if such sale does not occur on or before the Termination Date referred to in clause (a) above, then the Facility Lessee shall be deemed to have elected to purchase such Southaven Holdco Note Purchaser’s Southaven Holdco Note under clause (a) and shall make the payment required to be made thereunder to such Southaven Holdco Note Purchaser pursuant thereto on such Termination Date;

(c)    If the event or occurrence giving rise to such Regulatory Event of Loss would be alleviated by causing the Equity Investor to prepay one or more Southaven Holdco Notes, the Facility Lessee may cause the Equity Investor to prepay such Southaven Holdco Notes by paying to the Owner Lessor for distribution to the Equity Investor for prepayment of such Southaven Holdco Notes pursuant to the Southaven Holdco Note Purchase Agreement on the next succeeding Termination Date an amount equal to the Regulatory Event of Loss Termination Payment, whereupon Basic Lease Rent (Equity Portion) and Termination Value






(Equity Portion) shall be reduced in accordance with Section 3.4 hereof in an amount equal to the product of (i) Basic Lease Rent (Equity Portion) or Termination Value (Equity Portion), as applicable, multiplied by (ii) the Southaven Holdco Note Purchaser’s Percentage Interest of the Notes; provided that, the Facility Lessee may only make an election under this clause (c) with respect to a Southaven Holdco Note if the Southaven Holdco Notes held by such Southaven Holdco Note Purchasers are less than a majority of the aggregate outstanding amount of Southaven Holdco Notes of the Equity Investor; or

(d)    If the event or occurrence giving rise to such Regulatory Event of Loss would be alleviated by transferring the Equity Investor’s Membership Interests in whole or in part to another Person, the Facility Lessee may pay the Equity Investor on the next succeeding Termination Date the amount, if any, by which (i) the Termination Value (Equity Portion), exceeds (ii) the net proceeds of the sale of Membership Interests pursuant to this clause (d) received by the Equity Investor; provided that, if the Facility Lessee elects to make the payment pursuant to this clause (d), then the Equity Investor shall sell such Membership Interests in such manner, to such Person (which, subject to Applicable Law, may be the Facility Lessee) and at such price as directed by the Facility Lessee, at the cost and expense of the Facility Lessee; provided, however, that if such sale does not occur on or before the Termination Date referred to in clause (a) above, then the Facility Lessee shall be deemed to have elected to purchase such Membership Interests and shall pay the Equity Investor an amount equal to the Termination Value (Equity Portion), in which case the Equity Investor shall transfer all of its right, title and interest in such Membership Interests by appropriate instruments of transfer without representations to the Facility Lessee or such other Person as the Facility Lessee shall designate.

(e)    The Facility Lessee may terminate the Facility Lease (in whole but not in part) by electing an Early Buy Out in accordance with Section 15.1 hereof.

Simultaneously with the payment of any amounts contemplated under clauses (a), (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 13.2 and as a condition to the sale, transfer or prepayment of the applicable Southaven Holdco Notes or Equity Investor’s Membership Interests, as applicable, the Facility Lessee shall pay all Basic Lease Rent (Equity Portion) and Supplement Lease Rent due and payable on the applicable Termination Date (including all costs and expenses of the Equity Investor, the Owner Lessor or any Southaven Holdco Note Purchaser incurred in connection therewith and all sales, use, value added and other Taxes required to be paid by the Facility Lessee to the Equity Investor or applicable Southaven Holdco Note Purchaser associated with the sale, transfer or retirement of the Southaven Holdco Note Purchaser’s Southaven Holdco Notes or Equity Investor’s Membership Interests, as applicable) whereupon the Facility Lessee shall cease to have any liability with respect to the Transaction Documents to such Southaven Holdco Note Purchaser in the case of the payment of amounts pursuant to clauses (a), (b) and (c) and to all Southaven Holdco Note Purchasers and the Equity Investor in the case of the payment of amounts pursuant to clause (d), except for obligations (including those under Sections 9.1 and 9.2 of the Participation Agreement) surviving pursuant to the express terms of any Transaction Document or which have otherwise accrued but not been paid as of the applicable Termination Date. If necessary, the parties shall reasonably cooperate to cause the provisions of the Owner Lessor LLC Agreement to be amended to reflect the existence of more than one Equity Investor with a Membership Interest in the Owner Lessor.






SECTION 14.    [RESERVED]

SECTION 15.    EARLY BUY OUT

Section 15.1.    Election of Early Buy Out. The Facility Lessee shall have the right, at its option and at any time (including (a) during the occurrence and continuance of a Significant Lease Default or Lease Event of Default so long as the Facility Lease shall not have been terminated by the Owner Lessor pursuant to Section 18.2, (b) following an Event of Loss pursuant to Section 10.1, and (c) following a Regulatory Event of Loss for which the Facility Lessee has made the election described in Section 13.2(e)), by giving written notice (the “Early Buy Out Notice”) to the Owner Lessor, the Lessor Manager, and, so long as the Lien of the Lease Indenture shall not have been terminated or discharged, the Lease Indenture Trustee, to purchase the Owner Lessor’s Interest and terminate this Facility Lease, either in whole with respect to the entire Undivided Interest or in part with respect to a Relevant Portion of the Undivided Interest (an “Early Buy Out”). In the case of an Early Buy Out other than in connection with an Event of Loss or a Regulatory Event of Loss, the Facility Lessee will specify a Termination Date in the Early Buy Out Notice upon which date such purchase and termination will occur (the “Early Buy Out Date”), which Early Buy Out Date shall occur on a date occurring at least thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Early Buy Out Notice. In the case of an Early Buy Out in connection with an Event of Loss, the Early Buy Out Date shall occur on (i) the next Termination Date occurring at least one month after the Facility Lessee’s delivery of the Early Buy Out Notice, or (ii) if the Event of Loss shall be deemed to have occurred pursuant to the last sentence of Section 10.1, the Termination Date occurring next following thirty (30) days after the date as of which an Event of Loss shall have been so deemed to have occurred. In the case of an Early Buy Out in connection with a Regulatory Event of Loss, the Early Buy Out Date shall be the Termination Date next succeeding the date of delivery of the Early Buy Out Notice pursuant to Section 13.2(d) with respect to such Regulatory Event of Loss. The Facility Lessee may only purchase the Owner Lessor’s Interest in part or terminate the Facility Lease in part with respect to a Relevant Portion of the Undivided Interest to the extent that the Unit or Units not suffering an Event of Loss continue to be commercially viable in accordance with Prudent Industry Practice. If the Facility Lessee exercises the Early Buy Out in connection with an Event of Loss or Regulatory Event of Loss and the Facility Lessee certifies either that (A) such Early Buy Out is in connection with an Event of Loss described in clause (c) of the definition thereof or a Regulatory Event of Loss, or (B) such Early Buy Out is in connection with an Event of Loss described in clauses (a) or (b) of the definition thereof and the Facility Lessee has no current intention to rebuild or replace the Facility or a Relevant Portion of the Facility, then such Early Buy Out shall constitute an Early Buy Out in connection with an Event of Loss or a Regulatory Event of Loss, as applicable, and no Make Whole Premium or Equity Breakage shall be due in connection with such Early Buy Out.

Section 15.2.    Procedure for Exercise of an Early Buy Out.

(a)    If the Facility Lessee shall have exercised its option under Section 15.1, then, on the Early Buy Out Date the Facility Lessee shall pay to the Owner Lessor (i) the Termination Value with respect to the Termination Date that coincides with the Early Buy Out Date, (ii) all amounts of Supplemental Lease Rent (including all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Owner Lessor, the Lessor Manager, the Equity Investor, any Southaven Holdco Note Purchaser and the Lease Indenture Trustee,






and all sales, use, value added and other Taxes associated with the exercise of the Early Buy Out pursuant to this Section 15 and required to be indemnified by the Facility Lessee pursuant to Section 9.2 of the Participation Agreement) on an After-Tax Basis due and payable on or prior to such Early Buy Out Date, (iii) any unpaid Basic Lease Rent due on or before such Early Buy Out Date, and (iv) other than in the case of an Early Buy Out exercised in connection with an Event of Loss or a Regulatory Event of Loss so long as the Facility Lessee has delivered the certificate referred to in the last sentence of Section 15.1, the Make Whole Premium, if any, due on the Lessor Notes being prepaid pursuant to this Section 15 and the Equity Breakage in respect of the Equity Investment.

(b)    Upon receipt by the Lease Indenture Trustee, so long as the Lien of the Lease Indenture shall not have been terminated or discharged, or thereafter, the Owner Lessor, of the payments required to be made pursuant to Section 15.2(a), (i) Basic Lease Rent shall cease to accrue, in whole, in the case of an exercise of the Early Buy Out with respect to the entire Undivided Interest or in part, with respect to a Relevant Portion of the Undivided Interest, in the case of an exercise of the Early Buy Out with respect to a Relevant Portion of the Undivided Interest, calculated pursuant to Section 3.2, (ii) the Facility Lessee’s obligations hereunder shall terminate, in whole, in the case of an exercise of the Early Buy Out with respect to the entire Undivided Interest or in part, with respect to a Relevant Portion of the Undivided Interest, in the case of an exercise of the Early Buy Out with respect to a Relevant Portion of the Undivided Interest, except for Supplemental Lease Rent and other obligations (including those under Sections 9.1 and 9.2 of the Participation Agreement) surviving pursuant to the express provisions of any Transaction Document, (iii) this Facility Lease and the Head Lease shall terminate, in whole, in the case of an exercise of the Early Buy Out with respect to the entire Undivided Interest or in part, with respect to a Relevant Portion of the Undivided Interest, in the case of an exercise of the Early Buy Out with respect to a Relevant Portion of the Undivided Interest, (iv) the Owner Lessor shall, at the Facility Lessee’s cost and expense, execute and deliver to the Facility Lessee a release or termination of this Facility Lease, in whole, in the case of an exercise of the Early Buy Out with respect to the entire Undivided Interest, or in part, with respect to a Relevant Portion of the Undivided Interest, in the case of an exercise of the Early Buy Out with respect to a Relevant Portion of the Undivided Interest, (v) the Owner Lessor shall transfer (by an appropriate instrument of transfer in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Lessor and prepared and recorded by and at the expense of the Facility Lessee) all of its right, title and interest in and to the Owner Lessor’s Interest, in whole, in the case of an exercise of the Early Buy Out with respect to the entire Undivided Interest, or in part, with respect to a Relevant Portion of the Undivided Interest, in the case of an exercise of the Early Buy Out with respect to a Relevant Portion of the Undivided Interest, to the Facility Lessee pursuant to this Section 15.2 and Section 6.2 of the Head Lease on an “as is,” “where is” and “with all faults” basis, without representations or warranties other than a warranty as to the absence of Owner Lessor’s Liens and a warranty of the Equity Investor as to the absence of Equity Investor’s Liens, and (vi) the Owner Lessor shall discharge the Lien of the Lease Indenture, in whole, in the case of an exercise of the Early Buy Out with respect to the entire Undivided Interest, or in part, with respect to a Relevant Portion of the Undivided Interest, in the case of an exercise of the Early Buy Out with respect to a Relevant Portion of the Undivided Interest, and execute and deliver appropriate releases and other documents or instruments necessary or desirable to effect the foregoing, all






to be prepared, filed and recorded (as appropriate) by and at the cost and expense of the Facility Lessee.

Section 15.3.    Replacement and Exchange of the Lessor Notes. In connection with any proper exercise of the Early Buy Out under this Section 15 with respect to the entire Undivided Interest, the Facility Lessee may, at its option, elect to replace and exchange in full all the Lessor Notes for Replacement Power Bonds and if (a) the Facility Lessee shall have replaced and exchanged the Lessor Notes for Replacement Power Bonds in accordance with Section 2.10(c) of the Lease Indenture, (b) all other conditions contained in such Section 2.10(c) thereof shall have been satisfied, and (c) no Significant Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing after giving effect to such replacement and exchange, then the obligation of the Facility Lessee to pay the Termination Value pursuant to Section 15.2 shall be reduced by the outstanding principal amount of and accrued interest on the Lessor Notes so replaced and exchanged by the Facility Lessee.

SECTION 16.    TRANSFER UPON THE EXPIRATION DATE

On or after the Expiration Date, so long as no Significant Lease Default shall then have occurred and be continuing and the Owner Lessor has not exercised dispossessory remedies under Section 18.2 in connection therewith, then upon payment of all amounts of Basic Lease Rent and all amounts of Supplemental Lease Rent then due and payable (including all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses of the Owner Lessor, the Equity Investor and the Lease Indenture Trustee, all sales, use, value added and other Taxes required to be indemnified by the Facility Lessee pursuant to Section 9.2 of the Participation Agreement associated with the transfer to be effected pursuant to this Section 16 and any Basic Lease Rent due on or before the Expiration Date), (i) the Facility Lessee shall cease to have any liability to the Owner Lessor hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents, except for Supplemental Lease Rent and other obligations (including those under Sections 9.1 and 9.2 of the Participation Agreement) surviving pursuant to the express terms of any Transaction Document, (ii) subject to clause (i) above, this Facility Lease shall terminate, (iii) the Owner Lessor shall transfer to the Facility Lessee, at the Facility Lessee’s cost and expense, by an appropriate instrument of transfer (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Lessor and prepared by and at the expense of the Facility Lessee), all of its right, title and interest in and to the Owner Lessor’s Interest pursuant to this Section 16 and Section 6.2 of the Head Lease on an “as is,” “where is” and “with all faults” basis, without representations or warranties other than a warranty as to the absence of Owner Lessor’s Liens and a warranty of the Equity Investor as to the absence of Equity Investor’s Liens, and (iv) the Owner Lessor shall discharge the Lien of the Lease Indenture, and the Owner Lessor and the Equity Investor shall execute and deliver appropriate releases and other documents or instruments necessary or desirable to effect the foregoing, all to be prepared, filed and recorded (as appropriate) by and at the cost and expense of the Facility Lessee. In connection with the transfer described in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence, the Owner Lessor (at the Facility Lessee’s cost and expense) shall (a) assign, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, and shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of the Facility Lessee for purposes of obtaining, or enabling the Facility Lessee to obtain, any and all licenses, permits, approvals and consents of any Governmental Entities or other Persons that are held in the name of the Owner Lessor or the Lessor






Manager and are or will be required to be obtained by the Facility Lessee in connection with the Facility Lessee’s ownership, use, operation and maintenance of the Facility on or after such transfer in compliance with Applicable Law. Except for amounts expressly set forth in this Section 16 (including Supplemental Lease Rent and other obligations (including those under Sections 9.1 and 9.2 of the Participation Agreement) surviving pursuant to the express terms of any Transaction Document), the Facility Lessee shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts or compensation to the Owner Lessor, the Lessor Manager, the Equity Investor, and the Equity Manager in connection with the transfer to the Facility Lessee of the Owner Lessor’s Interest pursuant to this Section 16.
SECTION 17.    EVENTS OF DEFAULT

The following events shall constitute a “Lease Event of Default” hereunder (whether any such event shall be voluntary or involuntary or come about or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to or in compliance with any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Entity):
(a)    the Facility Lessee shall fail to make any payment of Basic Lease Rent or Termination Value after the same shall have become due and such failure shall have continued for five (5) Business Days after the same shall become due; or

(b)    the Facility Lessee shall fail to make any payment of Supplemental Lease Rent (other than Excepted Payments, unless the Equity Investor shall have declared a default with respect thereto, and Termination Value described in clause (a)), after the same shall have become due and such failure shall have continued for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt by the Facility Lessee of written notice of such default from the Lessor Manager, the Owner Lessor, or the Lease Indenture Trustee; or

(c)    the Facility Lessee shall fail to perform or observe in any material respect any covenant, obligation or agreement to be performed or observed by it under this Facility Lease, the Participation Agreement, the Head Lease, the Ground Lease or the Ground Sublease (other than any covenant, obligation or agreement referred to in clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 17), which shall continue unremedied for sixty (60) days after receipt by the Facility Lessee of written notice thereof from the Lessor Manager (acting at the direction of the Equity Investor) or the Lease Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that if such condition cannot be remedied within such sixty (60)-day period, then the period within which to remedy such condition shall be extended up to an additional two-hundred and seventy (270) days, so long as the Facility Lessee diligently pursues such remedy and such condition is capable of being remedied within such additional two-hundred and seventy (270)-day period; provided, further, that, in the case of the Facility Lessee’s obligation set forth in clause (a) of Section 7.1, if, to the extent and for so long as a test, challenge, appeal or proceeding shall be prosecuted in good faith by the Facility Lessee, the failure by the Facility Lessee to comply with such requirement shall not constitute a Lease Event of Default if such test, challenge, appeal or proceeding shall not involve any material risk of (i) foreclosure, sale, forfeiture or loss of, or imposition of a lien on, the Undivided Interest, (ii) the impairment of the use, operation or maintenance of the Facility in any material respect, or (iii) any criminal liability being incurred by, or any material adverse effect on the interests of, the Lessor Manager, the Equity Investor, any Southaven Holdco Note Purchaser, the Equity Manager, the Owner






Lessor, any Noteholder or the Lease Indenture Trustee, including subjecting the Equity Investor, any Southaven Holdco Note Purchaser or the Owner Lessor to regulation as a public utility or similar entity under Applicable Law; and provided, further, that in the case of the Facility Lessee’s obligation set forth in clause (a) of Section 7.1, if the noncompliance is not a type that can be immediately remedied, the failure to comply shall not be a Lease Event of Default if the Facility Lessee is taking all reasonable action to remedy such noncompliance and if, but only if, such noncompliance shall not involve any material risk described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the preceding proviso; or

(d)    any representation or warranty made by the Facility Lessee in the Operative Documents shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when made and continues to be material and unremedied for a period of sixty (60) days after receipt by the Facility Lessee of written notice thereof from the Equity Investor or the Lease Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that if such condition cannot be remedied within such sixty (60)-day period, then the period within which to remedy such condition shall be extended up to an additional two-hundred and seventy (270) days, so long as the Facility Lessee diligently pursues such remedy and such condition is reasonably capable of being remedied within such additional two-hundred and seventy (270)-day period; or

(g)    the Facility Lessee shall repudiate or disaffirm the validity or enforceability of this Facility Lease, the Head Lease or the Ground Lease.

(a)    by notice in writing to the Facility Lessee, to terminate this Facility Lease whereupon all right of the Facility Lessee to the possession and use under this Facility Lease of the Undivided Interest shall absolutely cease and terminate but the Facility Lessee shall remain liable as hereinafter provided; and thereupon, the Owner Lessor may demand that the Facility Lessee, and the Facility Lessee shall, upon written demand of the Owner Lessor and at the Facility Lessee’s expense, forthwith deliver possession of the Undivided Interest to the Owner Lessor in the manner and condition required by, and otherwise in accordance with all of the provisions of, Section 5, except those provisions relating to periods of notice; and the Owner Lessor may thenceforth hold, possess and enjoy the same, free from any right of the Facility Lessee under this Facility Lease, or its successor or assigns, to use the Undivided Interest for any purpose whatever;

(b)    to sell the Owner Lessor’s Interest at public or private sale, as the Owner Lessor may determine, free and clear of any rights of the Facility Lessee under this Facility Lease and without any duty to account to the Facility Lessee with respect to such sale or for the proceeds thereof (except to the extent required (i) by paragraph (e) below if the Owner Lessor elects to exercise its rights under such paragraph, and (ii) by Applicable Law), in which event the Facility Lessee’s obligation to pay Basic Lease Rent hereunder due for any periods subsequent to the date of such sale shall terminate (except to the extent that Basic Lease Rent is to be included in computations under paragraph (d) or (e) below if the Owner Lessor elects to exercise its rights under said paragraphs);

proceeds with respect thereto, except that the Facility Lessee’s obligation to pay Basic Lease Rent due for any periods subsequent to the date upon which the Facility Lessee shall have been deprived of possession and use of the Undivided Interest pursuant to this Section 18.2 shall be reduced by the net proceeds, if any, received by the Owner Lessor from subleasing the Undivided Interest to any Person other than the Facility Lessee;

(d)    whether or not the Owner Lessor shall have exercised, or shall thereafter at any time exercise, any of its rights under paragraph (a) above with respect to the Undivided Interest, to specify, by written notice to the Facility Lessee, a Termination Date that shall not be earlier than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice, and to demand that the Facility Lessee pay to the Owner Lessor, and the Facility Lessee shall pay to the Owner Lessor, on the Termination Date specified in such notice, any unpaid Basic Lease Rent due on or before such Termination Date, any Supplemental Lease Rent due and payable as of the Termination Date specified in such notice, plus, as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and not as a penalty (in lieu of the Basic Lease Rent due after the Termination Date specified in such notice), an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Termination Value computed as of the Termination Date specified in such notice over the Fair Market Sales Value of the Owner Lessor’s Interest as of the Termination Date specified in such notice (such amount, the “FMV Net Termination Value”), and upon payment of such excess amount, this Facility Lease and the Facility Lessee’s obligation to pay Basic Lease Rent hereunder due for any periods subsequent to the date of such payments shall terminate; or

(e)    if the Owner Lessor shall have sold the Owner Lessor’s Interest pursuant to paragraph (b) above, to demand that the Facility Lessee pay to the Owner Lessor, and the Facility Lessee shall pay to the Owner Lessor, as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and not as a penalty (in lieu of the Basic Lease Rent due after the date of such sale), an amount equal to (i) any unpaid Basic Lease Rent and Supplemental Lease Rent due on or before the date of such sale, (ii) if that date is not a Termination Date, the daily equivalent of Basic Lease Rent for the period from the preceding Termination Date to the date of such sale, and (iii) the amount, if any, by which the Termination Value for the Undivided Interest computed as of the Termination Date next preceding the date of such sale or, if such sale occurs on a Rent Payment Date or a Termination Date then computed as of such date, exceeds the proceeds of such sale net of all costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Owner Lessor or the Lease Indenture Trustee in connection with or otherwise attributable to such sale (such amount set forth in subclause (iii), the “Sale Net Termination Value”), and, upon payment of such amount, this Facility Lease and the Facility Lessee’s obligation to pay Basic Lease Rent for any periods subsequent to the date of such payment shall terminate.

In connection with the exercise of remedies under Sections 18.1 or 18.2, the Owner Lessor may apply any amounts which are held by the Owner Lessor or the Lease Indenture Trustee under Section 10.2 or 11.2 as security for the Facility Lessee’s obligations hereunder and under any other Transaction Documents against any amounts owed by the Facility Lessee hereunder or under any other Transaction Document. In addition, the Facility Lessee shall be liable, except as otherwise provided in Sections 18.2(d) and (e), for (i) any and all unpaid Basic Lease Rent due hereunder before or during the exercise of any of the foregoing remedies, and (ii) on an After-Tax Basis for all legal fees and other documented costs and expenses incurred






by the Owner Lessor, the Equity Investor and the Lease Indenture Trustee by reason of the occurrence of any Lease Event of Default or the exercise of the Owner Lessor’s remedies with respect thereto (whether those remedies are exercised by the Owner Lessor, the Lease Indenture Trustee or a designee of either), including the repayment in full of any documented costs and expenses necessary to be expended in connection with the return of the Undivided Interest in accordance with Section 5, and any costs and expenses incurred by the Owner Lessor, the Equity Investor and the Lease Indenture Trustee in connection with retaking constructive possession of, or in repairing, such Undivided Interest in accordance with Section 18.2, in order to cause it to be in compliance with the maintenance standards imposed by Section 7.1.

Section 18.4.    Payment of FMV Net Termination Value or Sale Net Termination Value. If the Owner Lessor elects to exercise its rights set forth in Sections 18.2(d) or (e) and the Facility Lessee is obligated to pay FMV Net Termination Value or Sale Net Termination Value, as applicable, subject to payment of all other amounts due and owing by the Facility Lessee pursuant to Sections 18.2(d) or (e), as applicable, the Facility Lessee may, subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 18.4 below, elect to pay the Owner Lessor such FMV Net Termination Value or such Sale Net Termination Value, as applicable, in three equal installments payable on the first, second and third anniversaries of the Term-Out Notice Date (the “Term-Out Payment Dates”), together with interest (a) on the Net TV Amount (Debt Portion) of such FMV Net Termination Value or such Sale Net Termination Value, as applicable, at the Net TV Amount (Debt Portion) Rate, and (b) on the Net TV Amount (Equity Portion) of such FMV Net Termination Value or such Sale Net Termination Value, as applicable, at the Net TV Amount (Equity Portion) Rate. The Facility Lessee shall only be permitted to make such election by written notice given to the Owner Lessor, the Lessor Manager, and the Lease Indenture Trustee within thirty (30) days of delivery of the written notice from the Owner Lessor pursuant to Section 18.2 with respect to the Owner Lessor’s election to exercise remedies set forth in Sections 18.2(d) or (e), as applicable, certifying that the issuance of Evidences of Indebtedness under the Bond Resolution is legally impossible or commercially unreasonable at such time in an amount sufficient to pay FMV Net Termination Value or Sale Net Termination Value when due under Sections 18.2(d) or (e), as applicable (the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 18.4, the “Term-Out Notice Date”). Upon the Facility Lessee’s delivery of the notice described in the previous sentence, the Facility Lessee shall become obligated to pay FMV Net Termination Value or Sale Net Termination Value, as applicable, as provided above, and this Facility Lease and the Facility Lessee’s obligation to pay Basic Lease Rent for any periods subsequent to the date of the delivery of such notice shall terminate. If the Facility Lessee (i) fails to deliver the notice described in the second preceding sentence with respect to any unpaid Net TV Amount, (ii) fails to certify by written notice given the Owner Lessor, the Lessor Manager and the Lease Indenture Trustee concurrently with its payment of an installment then due and payable on any Term-Out Payment Date that the issuance of Evidences of Indebtedness under the Bond Resolution is still legally impossible or commercially unreasonable, or (iii) fails to pay any installment of the Net TV Amount then due and payable within ten (10) Business Days of the applicable Term-Out Payment Date, then in each case any unpaid Net TV Amount shall immediately become due and payable and the Owner Lessor may exercise any remedies available to it in accordance with Applicable Law.

Section 18.6.    No Delay or Omission to Be Construed as Waiver. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to the Owner Lessor upon any breach or default by the Facility Lessee under this Facility Lease shall impair any such right, power or remedy of the Owner Lessor, nor shall any such delay or omission be construed as a waiver of any breach or default, or of any similar breach or default hereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of a single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, but subject to Section 18.2, the Facility Lessee hereby waives any rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise which may require the Owner Lessor to sell, lease or otherwise use the Undivided Interest in mitigation of the Owner Lessor’s damages as set forth in this Section 18 or which otherwise may limit or modify any of the Owner Lessor’s rights and remedies under this Section 18.

SECTION 19.    SECURITY INTEREST AND INVESTMENT OF SECURITY FUNDS.

Any moneys received by the Owner Lessor or the Lease Indenture Trustee pursuant to Sections 10.2 or 11.2, until paid to the Facility Lessee in accordance with such Section, shall be held by the Owner Lessor or the Lease Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, as security for the Facility Lessee’s obligations under this Facility Lease and be invested in Permitted Instruments by the Owner Lessor or the Lease Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, at the sole risk of the Facility Lessee, from time to time as directed in writing by the Facility Lessee if such instruments are reasonably available for purchase. So long as no Significant Lease Default has occurred and is continuing, any gain (including interest received) realized as the result of any such Permitted Instrument (net of any fees, commissions, Taxes and other expenses, if any, incurred in connection with such Permitted Instrument) shall be applied or remitted to the Facility Lessee in the same manner as the principal invested.
SECTION 20.    FACILITY LESSEE’S RIGHT TO SUBLEASE; ASSIGNMENT

Section 20.1.    Assignment and Sublease. Except as provided in Section 20.2, the Facility Lessee shall not have the right to assign or sublease the Facility Lessee’s Interest and shall not be released from its obligations under this Facility Lease and the Transaction Documents without the consent of the Owner Lessor, and, so long as the Lien of the Lease Indenture shall not have been terminated or discharged, the Lease Indenture Trustee.

Section 20.2    Right to Sublease. The Facility Lessee may sublease the Undivided Interest without the consent of the Owner Lessor, the Lessor Manager, the Equity Investor, the Equity Manager, Southaven Holdco Note Purchasers and the Lease Indenture Trustee under the following conditions:

(d)    no Significant Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of the entering into of such sublease;
(e)    the sublease prohibits further assignment or subletting; and
(f)    the Lien of the Lease Indenture is not impaired by the sublease.
The Facility Lessee shall pay all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Owner Lessor, the Equity Investor, the Equity Manager, the Lessor Manager and the Lease Indenture Trustee in connection with such sublease.
SECTION 21.    OWNER LESSOR’S RIGHT TO PERFORM

If the Facility Lessee fails to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder or fails to perform or comply with any of its other agreements contained herein after notice to the Facility Lessee and failure of the Facility Lessee to so perform or comply within ten (10) days thereafter, the Owner Lessor or the Equity Investor may make such payment or perform or comply with such agreement in a reasonable manner, but shall not be obligated hereunder to do so, and the amount of such payment and of the reasonable documented expenses of the Owner Lessor or the Equity Investor incurred in connection with such payment or the performance of or compliance with such agreement, as the case may be, together with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall be deemed to be Supplemental Lease Rent, payable by the Facility Lessee to the Owner Lessor on demand.
SECTION 22.    SECURITY FOR OWNER LESSOR’S OBLIGATION TO THE LEASE INDENTURE TRUSTEE

In order to secure the Lessor Notes, the Owner Lessor will assign and grant a Lien to the Lease Indenture Trustee in and to all of the Owner Lessor’s right, title and interest in, to and under this Facility Lease, and grant a security interest in favor of the Lease Indenture Trustee in all of the Owner Lessor’s right, title and interest in and to the Owner Lessor’s Interest (other than Excepted Payments and subject to Excepted Rights) pursuant to the Lease Indenture. The Facility Lessee hereby consents to such assignment and to the creation of such Lien and security interest and acknowledges receipt of copies of the Lease Indenture, it being understood that such consent shall not affect any requirement or the absence of any requirement for any consent of the Facility Lessee under any other circumstances. Unless and until the Facility Lessee shall






have received written notice from the Lease Indenture Trustee that the Lien of the Lease Indenture has been fully terminated, the Lease Indenture Trustee shall have the right to exercise the rights of the Owner Lessor under this Facility Lease to the extent set forth in and subject in each case to the exceptions set forth in the Lease Indenture. TO THE EXTENT, IF ANY, THAT THIS FACILITY LEASE CONSTITUTES CHATTEL PAPER (AS SUCH TERM IS DEFINED IN THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE AS IN EFFECT IN ANY APPLICABLE JURISDICTION), NO SECURITY INTEREST IN THIS FACILITY LEASE MAY BE CREATED THROUGH THE TRANSFER OR POSSESSION OF ANY COUNTERPART HEREOF OTHER THAN THE ORIGINAL COUNTERPART, WHICH SHALL BE IDENTIFIED AS THE COUNTERPART CONTAINING THE RECEIPT THEREFOR EXECUTED BY THE LEASE INDENTURE TRUSTEE ON THE SIGNATURE PAGE THEREOF.
