EXHIBITS AND SCHEDULES Exhibit A Legal Description Exhibit B Insurance Requirements Exhibit C LIBOR Period Election Form Schedule 1 Financial Covenants and Other Requirements iv 6 LEASE AGREEMENT (PHASE V - LAND) This LEASE AGREEMENT (PHASE V - LAND) (this "LAND LEASE"), by and between BNP LEASING CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("BNPLC"), and NETWORK APPLIANCE, INC., a California corporation ("NAI"), is made and dated as of March 1, 2000, the Effective Date. ("EFFECTIVE DATE" and other capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Land Lease are intended to have the meanings assigned to them in the Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement (Phase V - Land) executed by BNPLC and NAI contemporaneously with this Land Lease. By this reference, the Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement (Phase V - Land) is incorporated into and made a part of this Land Lease for all purposes.) RECITALS Pursuant to the Existing Contract, which covers the Land described in Exhibit A, BNPLC is acquiring the Land and any appurtenances thereto from Seller contemporaneously with the execution of this Land Lease. In anticipation of BNPLC's acquisition of the Land under the Existing Contract, BNPLC and NAI have reached agreement as to the terms and conditions upon which BNPLC is willing to lease the Land to NAI, and by this Land Lease BNPLC and NAI desire to evidence such agreement. GRANTING CLAUSES BNPLC does hereby LEASE, DEMISE and LET unto NAI for the term hereinafter set forth all right, title and interest of BNPLC, now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to: (1) the Land; (2) all easements and other rights appurtenant to the Land, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by BNPLC; and (3) (A) any land lying within the right-of-way of any street, open or proposed, adjoining the Land, (B) any sidewalks and alleys adjacent to the Land and (C) any strips and gores between the Land and any abutting land not owned or leased by BNPLC. BNPLC's interest in all property described in clauses (1) through (3) above are hereinafter referred to collectively as the "REAL PROPERTY". The Real Property does not include any Improvements (now existing or those to be constructed as provided in the Other Lease Agreement and the Construction Management Agreement) or BNPLC's rights appurtenant to the Improvements, it being understood that the Other Lease Agreement constitutes a separate lease of the Improvements and the appurtenances thereto, and only the Improvements and the appurtenances thereto, from BNPLC to NAI. To the extent, but only to the extent, that assignable rights or interests in, to or under the following have been or will be acquired by BNPLC under the Existing Contract or acquired by BNPLC pursuant to Paragraph 7 below, BNPLC also hereby grants and assigns to NAI for the term of this Land 1 7 Lease the right to use and enjoy (and, in the case of contract rights, to enforce) such rights or interests of BNPLC: (a) the benefits, if any, conferred upon the owner of the Real Property by the Permitted Encumbrances (including the right to receive rents under and to otherwise enforce the Premises Lease) and Development Documents; and (b) any permits, licenses, franchises, certificates, and other rights and privileges against third parties related to the Real Property. Such rights and interests of BNPLC, whether now existing or hereafter arising, are hereinafter collectively called the "PERSONAL PROPERTY". The Real Property and the Personal Property are hereinafter sometimes collectively called the "PROPERTY." However, the leasehold estate conveyed hereby and NAI's rights hereunder are expressly made subject and subordinate to the terms and conditions of this Land Lease, to the Premises Lease and all other Permitted Encumbrances, and to any other claims or encumbrances not constituting Liens Removable by BNPLC. GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS The Property is leased by BNPLC to NAI and is accepted and is to be used and possessed by NAI upon and subject to the following terms and conditions: 1. TERM. (a) Scheduled Term. The term of this Land Lease (the "TERM") shall commence on and include the Effective Date, and end on the first Business Day of March, 2005, unless sooner terminated as expressly herein provided. (b) Intentionally Deleted. (c) Intentionally Deleted. (d) Election by NAI to Terminate After Accelerating the Designated Sale Date. NAI shall be entitled to accelerate the Designated Sale Date (and thus accelerate the purchase of BNPLC's interest in the Property by NAI or by an Applicable Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement) by sending a notice to BNPLC as provided in clause (2) of the definition of "Designated Sale Date" in the Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement (Phase V - Land). In the event, because of NAI's election to so accelerate the Designated Sale Date or for any other reason, the Designated Sale Date occurs before the end of the scheduled Term, NAI may terminate this Land Lease on or after the Designated Sale Date; provided, however, as a condition to any such termination by NAI, NAI must have done the following prior to the termination: (i) purchased or caused an Applicable Purchaser to purchase the Property pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and satisfied all of NAI's other obligations under the Purchase Agreement; 2 8 (ii) (paid to BNPLC all Base Rent and all other Rent due on or before or accrued through the Designated Sale Date; and (iii) paid any Breakage Costs caused by BNPLC's sale of the Property pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. (e) Extension of the Term. The Term may be extended at the option of NAI for two successive periods of five years each; provided, however, that prior to any such extension the following conditions must have been satisfied: (A) at least ninety days prior to the commencement of any such extension, BNPLC and NAI must have agreed in writing upon, and received the consent and approval of BNPLC's Parent and all other Participants to (1) a corresponding extension not only to the date for the expiration of the Term specified above in this Section, but also to the date specified in clause (1) of the definition of Designated Sale Date in the Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement (Phase V - Land), and (2) an adjustment to the Rent that NAI will be required to pay for the extension, it being expected that the Rent for the extension may be different than the Rent required for the original Term, and it being understood that the Rent for any extension must in all events be satisfactory to both BNPLC and NAI, each in its sole and absolute discretion; (B) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of NAI's exercise of its option to extend; and (C) immediately prior to any such extension, this Land Lease must remain in effect. With respect to the condition that BNPLC and NAI must have agreed upon the Rent required for any extension of the Term, neither NAI nor BNPLC is willing to submit itself to a risk of liability or loss of rights hereunder for being judged unreasonable. Accordingly, both NAI and BNPLC hereby disclaim any obligation express or implied to be reasonable in negotiating the Rent for any such extension. Subject to the changes to the Rent payable during any extension of the Term as provided in this Paragraph, if NAI exercises its option to extend the Term as provided in this Paragraph, this Land Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and the leasehold estate hereby granted to NAI shall continue without interruption and without any loss of priority over other interests in or claims against the Property that may be created or arise after the date hereof and before the extension. 2. USE AND CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY. (a) Use. Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances, the Development Documents and the terms hereof, NAI may use and occupy the Property during the Term, but only for the following purposes. (i) constructing, maintaining and using Improvements on the Land for purposes expressly permitted by and described in Paragraph 2(a) of the Other Lease Agreement; and (ii) other lawful purposes approved in advance and in writing by BNPLC, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld after completion of the Construction Project (but NAI acknowledges that BNPLC's withholding of such approval shall be reasonable if BNPLC determines in good faith that (1) giving the approval may materially increase BNPLC's risk of liability for any existing or future environmental problem, or (2) giving the approval is likely to substantially increase BNPLC's administrative burden of complying with or monitoring NAI's compliance with the requirements of this Land Lease or other Operative Documents). 3 9 Nothing in this subparagraph will prevent a tenant under a Premises Lease executed by NAI, as Landlord, prior to or concurrently with the Effective Date, from using the space covered thereby for purposes expressly authorized by the terms and conditions of such Premises Lease. (b) Condition of the Property. NAI ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS CAREFULLY AND FULLY INSPECTED THE PROPERTY AND ACCEPTS THE PROPERTY IN ITS PRESENT STATE, AS IS, AND WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE CONDITION OF SUCH PROPERTY OR AS TO THE USE WHICH MAY BE MADE THEREOF. NAI ALSO ACCEPTS THE PROPERTY WITHOUT ANY COVENANT, REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY BNPLC OR ITS AFFILIATES REGARDING THE TITLE THERETO OR THE RIGHTS OF ANY PARTIES IN POSSESSION OF ANY PART THEREOF, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN PARAGRAPH 20. BNPLC SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LATENT OR OTHER DEFECT OR CHANGE OF CONDITION IN THE PROPERTY OR FOR ANY VIOLATIONS WITH RESPECT THERETO OF APPLICABLE LAWS. FURTHER, THOUGH NAI MAY OBTAIN FROM THIRD PARTIES ANY FACILITIES OR SERVICES TO WHICH NAI IS ENTITLED BY REASON OF THE ASSIGNMENT AND LEASE OF PERSONAL PROPERTY SET FORTH ON PAGE 2 OF THIS LAND LEASE, BNPLC SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED TO FURNISH TO NAI ANY FACILITIES OR SERVICES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING WATER, STEAM, HEAT, GAS, AIR CONDITIONING, ELECTRICITY, LIGHT OR POWER. (c) Consideration for and Scope of Waiver. The provisions of subparagraph 2(b) above have been negotiated by BNPLC and NAI after due consideration for the Rent payable hereunder and are intended to be a complete exclusion and negation of any representations or warranties of BNPLC or its Affiliates, express or implied, with respect to the Property that may arise pursuant to any law now or hereafter in effect or otherwise, except as expressly set forth herein. However, such exclusion of representations and warranties by BNPLC is not intended to impair any representations or warranties made by other parties, the benefit of which may pass to NAI during the Term because of the definition of Personal Property and Property above. 3. RENT. (a) Base Rent Generally. On each Base Rent Date through the end of the Term, NAI shall pay BNPLC rent ("BASE RENT"). Each payment of Base Rent must be received by BNPLC no later than 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time) on the date it becomes due; if received after 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time) it will be considered for purposes of this Land Lease as received on the next following Business Day. At least five days prior to any Base Rent Date upon which an installment of Base Rent shall become due, BNPLC shall notify NAI in writing of the amount of each installment, calculated as provided below. Any failure by BNPLC to so notify NAI, however, shall not constitute a waiver of BNPLC's right to payment, but absent such notice NAI shall not be in default hereunder for any underpayment resulting therefrom if NAI, in good faith, reasonably estimates the payment required, makes a timely payment of the amount so estimated and corrects any underpayment within three Business Days after being notified by BNPLC of the underpayment. (b) Impact of Collateral Upon Formulas . To ease the administrative burden of this Land Lease and the Pledge Agreement, the formulas for calculating Base Rent set out below in subparagraph 3(c) reflect a reduction in the Base Rent equal to the interest that would accrue on any Collateral provided in accordance with the requirements of the Pledge Agreement from time to time if the Accounts (as defined in the Pledge Agreement) bore interest at the Effective Rate. BNPLC has agreed to such reduction to provide NAI with the economic equivalent of interest on such Collateral, and 4 10 in return NAI has agreed to the provisions of the Pledge Agreement that excuse the actual payment of interest on the Accounts. By incorporating such reduction of Base Rent into the formulas below, and by providing for noninterest bearing Accounts in the Pledge Agreement, the parties will avoid an unnecessary and cumbersome periodic exchange of equal payments. It is not, however, the intent of BNPLC or NAI to understate Base Rent or interest for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for purposes of any financial reports that this Land Lease requires of NAI from time to time, NAI may report Base Rent as if there had been no such reduction and as if the Collateral from time to time provided in accordance with the requirements of the Pledge Agreement had been maintained in Accounts bearing interest at the Effective Rate. (c) Calculation of and Due Dates for Base Rent. Payments of Base Rent shall be calculated and become due as follows: (i) Amount Payable for Base Rent Periods Ending On or Prior to the Base Rent Commencement Date. The Base Rent for any Base Rent Period that ends prior to the Base Rent Commencement Date shall be payable on the Base Rent Date upon which such period ends and shall equal: - Stipulated Loss Value (Building 4/Land) on the first day of such Base Rent Period, times - the sum of (a) the Effective Rate with respect to such Base Rent Period, plus (b) the Unsecured Spread for the period from and including the first day of such Base Rent Period, times - the number of days in the such Base Rent Period, divided by - three hundred sixty. Assume, only for the purpose of illustration: that Stipulated Loss Value (Building 4/Land) on the first day of a hypothetical Base Rent Period that ends prior to the Base Rent Commencement Date is $5,000,000; that the Effective Rate for the Base Rent Period is 6%; that the Unsecured Spread is one hundred fifty basis points (150/100 of 1%) upon the commencement of such Base Rent Period; and that such Base Rent Period contains exactly thirty days. Under such assumptions, the Base Rent for the hypothetical Base Rent Period will equal: $5,000,000 x (6% + 1.50%) x 30/360 = $31,250 Base Rent for any Base Rent Period ending on the Base Rent Commencement Date will also be calculated pursuant to the formula set out in this subparagraph and will be payable on the Base Rent Commencement Date, if (consistent with the parties expectations as of the Effective Date) the Base Rent Commencement Date (Building 4) occurs prior to the Base Rent Commencement Date (Building 5). (ii) Determination of Payment Due Dates After the Base Rent Commencement Date, Generally. For all Base Rent Periods subject to a LIBOR Period Election of one month or three months, Base Rent shall be due in one installment on the Base Rent Date upon which the Base 5 11 Rent Period ends. For Base Rent Periods subject to a LIBOR Period Election of six months, Base Rent shall be payable in two installments, with the first installment becoming due on the Base Rent Date that occurs on the first Business Day of the third calendar month following the commencement of such Base Rent Period, and with the second installment becoming due on the Base Rent Date upon which the Base Rent Period ends. (iii) Special Adjustments to Base Rent Payment Dates and Periods. Notwithstanding the foregoing: a) Any Base Rent Period that begins before, and does not otherwise end before, a Failed Collateral Test Date shall end upon but not include such Failed Collateral Test Date, and such Failed Collateral Test Date shall constitute a Base Rent Date, upon which NAI must pay all accrued, unpaid Base Rent for the Base Rent Period just ended. b) Consistent with clause (3) of the definition of LIBOR Period Election in the Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement (Phase V - Land), each successive Base Rent Date after any such Failed Collateral Test Date shall be the first Business Day of the first calendar month following the calendar month which includes the preceding Base Rent Date, so long as any Mandatory Collateral Period shall continue. c) In addition to Base Rent due on a Failed Collateral Test Date, NAI must pay the Breakage Costs, if any, resulting from any early ending of a Base Rent Period on the Failed Collateral Test Date pursuant to the preceding clause 3.(c)(iii)a). d) If NAI or any Applicable Purchaser purchases BNPLC's interest in the Property pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, any accrued unpaid Base Rent and all outstanding Additional Rent shall be due on the date of purchase in addition to the purchase price and other sums due BNPLC under the Purchase Agreement. (iv) Base Rent Formula for Periods After the Base Rent Commencement Date and During Which The Collateral Percentage is 100%. Each installment of Base Rent payable for any Base Rent Period that commences on or after the Base Rent Commencement Date and during which the Collateral Percentage is one hundred percent (100%) shall equal: - Stipulated Loss Value on the first day of such Base Rent Period, times - the Secured Spread for the period from and including the preceding Base Rent Date to but not including the Base Rent Date upon which the installment is due, times - the number of days in the period from and including the preceding Base Rent Date to but not including the Base Rent Date upon which the installment is due, divided by - three hundred sixty. 6 12 Assume, only for the purpose of illustration: that the Collateral Percentage for a hypothetical Base Rent Period is one hundred percent (100%); that prior to the first day of such Base Rent Period Qualified Prepayments have been received by BNPLC, leaving a Stipulated Loss Value of $20,000,000; that the Secured Spread is thirty basis points (30/100 of 1%); and that such Base Rent Period contains exactly thirty days. Under such assumptions, the Base Rent for the hypothetical Base Rent Period will equal: $20,000,000 x .30% x 30/360 = $5,000 (v) Base Rent Formula for Periods After the Base Rent Commencement Date and During Which The Collateral Percentage is Greater Than Zero and Less Than 100%. Each installment of Base Rent payable for any Base Rent Period that commences on or after the Base Rent Commencement Date and during which the Collateral Percentage is greater than zero and less than one hundred percent (100%) shall equal: - Stipulated Loss Value on the first day of such Base Rent Period, times - the sum of: (A) the product of: (1) the Collateral Percentage for such Base Rent Period, times (2) the Secured Spread for the period from and including the preceding Base Rent Date to but not including the Base Rent Date upon which the installment is due, plus (B) the product of: (1) one minus the Collateral Percentage for such Base Rent Period, times (2) the sum of (a) the Effective Rate with respect to such Base Rent Period, plus (b) the Unsecured Spread for the period from and including the preceding Base Rent Date to but not including the Base Rent Date upon which the installment is due, times - the number of days in the period from and including the preceding Base Rent Date to but not including the Base Rent Date upon which the installment is due, divided by - three hundred sixty. Assume, only for the purpose of illustration: that the Collateral Percentage for a hypothetical Base Rent Period is forty percent (40%); that prior to the first day of such Base Rent Period Qualified Prepayments have been received by BNPLC, leaving a Stipulated Loss Value of $20,000,000; that the Effective Rate for the Base Rent Period is 6%; that the Secured Spread is 7 13 thirty basis points (30/100 of 1%); that upon the commencement of such Base Rent Period the Unsecured Spread is one hundred fifty basis points (150/100 of 1%); and that such Base Rent Period contains exactly thirty days. Under such assumptions, the Base Rent for the hypothetical Base Rent Period will equal: $20,000,000 x {(40% x .30%) + ([1 - 40%] x [6% + 1.50%])} x 30/360 = $77,000 (vi) Base Rent Formula for Periods After the Base Rent Commencement Date and During Which The Collateral Percentage is Zero. Each installment of Base Rent payable for any Base Rent Period that commences on or after the Base Rent Commencement Date and during which the Collateral Percentage is zero shall equal: - Stipulated Loss Value on the first day of such Base Rent Period, times - the sum of (a) the Effective Rate with respect to such Base Rent Period, plus (b) the Unsecured Spread for the period from and including the preceding Base Rent Date to but not including the Base Rent Date upon which the installment is due, times - the number of days in the period from and including the preceding Base Rent Date to but not including the Base Rent Date upon which the installment is due, divided by - three hundred sixty. Assume, only for the purpose of illustration: that the Collateral Percentage for a hypothetical Base Rent Period is zero percent (0%); that prior to the first day of such Base Rent Period Qualified Prepayments have been received by BNPLC, leaving a Stipulated Loss Value of $20,000,000; that the Effective Rate for the Base Rent Period is 6%; that the Unsecured Spread is one hundred fifty basis points (150/100 of 1%) upon the commencement of such Base Rent Period; and that such Base Rent Period contains exactly thirty days. Under such assumptions, the Base Rent for the hypothetical Base Rent Period will equal: $20,000,000 x (6% + 1.50%) x 30/360 = $125,000 (d) Additional Rent. All amounts which NAI is required to pay to or on behalf of BNPLC pursuant to this Land Lease, together with every charge, premium, interest and cost set forth herein which may be added for nonpayment or late payment thereof, shall constitute rent (all such amounts, other than Base Rent, are herein called "ADDITIONAL RENT", and together Base Rent and Additional Rent are herein sometimes called "RENT"). (e) Intentionally Deleted. (f) Intentionally Deleted. (g) Intentionally Deleted. 8 14 (h) Intentionally Deleted. (i) No Demand or Setoff. Except as expressly provided herein, NAI shall pay all Rent without notice or demand and without counterclaim, deduction, setoff or defense. (j) Default Interest and Order of Application. All Rent shall bear interest, if not paid when first due, at the Default Rate in effect from time to time from the date due until paid; provided, that nothing herein contained will be construed as permitting the charging or collection of interest at a rate exceeding the maximum rate permitted under Applicable Laws. BNPLC shall be entitled to apply any amounts paid by or on behalf of NAI against any Rent then past due in the order the same became due or in such other order as BNPLC may elect. 4. NATURE OF THIS AGREEMENT. (a) "Net" Lease Generally. Subject only to the exceptions listed in subparagraph 5(d) below, it is the intention of BNPLC and NAI that Base Rent and other payments herein specified shall be absolutely net to BNPLC and that NAI shall pay all costs, expenses and obligations of every kind relating to the Property or this Land Lease which may arise or become due, including: (i) any taxes payable by virtue of BNPLC's receipt of amounts paid to or on behalf of BNPLC in accordance with Paragraph 5; (ii) any amount for which BNPLC is or becomes liable with respect to the Permitted Encumbrances or the Development Documents; and (iii) any costs incurred by BNPLC (including Attorneys' Fees) because of BNPLC's acquisition or ownership of any interest in the Property or because of this Land Lease or the transactions contemplated herein. However, neither this subparagraph 4(a) nor the indemnity in this subparagraph 5(c)(i) shall be construed to make NAI liable for (I) an allocation of general overhead or internal administrative expenses of BNPLC or any other Interested Party or (II) any duplicate payment of the same Loss to both BNPLC and another Interested Party. (If, for example, BNPLC were required to make a $10 fine because of a failure of the Property to comply with Applicable Laws, and a Participant were required by the Participation Agreement to reimburse BNPLC for 20% of the $10, NAI would not be required by this subparagraph 4(a) or by subparagraph 5(c)(i) to pay both $10 to BNPLC and $2 to the Participant on account of the fine.) (b) No Termination. Except as expressly provided in this Land Lease itself, this Land Lease shall not terminate, nor shall NAI have any right to terminate this Land Lease, nor shall NAI be entitled to any abatement of the Rent, nor shall the obligations of NAI under this Land Lease be excused, for any reason whatsoever, including any of the following: (i) any damage to or the destruction of all or any part of the Property from whatever cause, (ii) the taking of the Property or any portion thereof by eminent domain or otherwise for any reason, (iii) the prohibition, limitation or restriction of NAI's use or development of all or any portion of the Property or any interference with such use by governmental action or otherwise, (iv) any eviction of NAI or of anyone claiming through or under NAI, (v) any default on the part of BNPLC under this Land Lease or under any other agreement to which BNPLC and NAI are parties, (vi) the inadequacy in any way whatsoever of the Property (it being understood that BNPLC has not made, does not make and will not make any representation express or implied as to the adequacy thereof), (vii) any latent or other defect in the Property or any change in the condition thereof or the existence with respect to the Property of any violations of Applicable Laws, or (viii) any other cause whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing. It is the intention of the parties 9 15 hereto that the obligations of NAI hereunder shall be separate and independent of the covenants and agreements of BNPLC, that Base Rent and all other sums payable by NAI hereunder shall continue to be payable in all events and that the obligations of NAI hereunder shall continue unaffected, unless the requirement to pay or perform the same shall have been terminated or limited pursuant to an express provision of this Land Lease. Without limiting the foregoing, NAI waives to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all rights to which NAI may now or hereafter be entitled by law (including any such rights arising because of any implied "warranty of suitability" or other warranty under Applicable Laws) (i) to quit, terminate or surrender this Land Lease or the Property or any part thereof or (ii) to any abatement, suspension, deferment or reduction of the Rent. However, nothing in this subparagraph 4(b) shall be construed as a waiver by NAI of any right NAI may have at law or in equity to the following remedies, whether because of BNPLC's failure to remove a Lien Removable by BNPLC or because of any other default by BNPLC under this Land Lease that continues beyond the period for cure provided in Paragraph 19: (i) the recovery of monetary damages, (ii) injunctive relief in case of the violation, or attempted or threatened violation, by BNPLC of any of the express covenants, agreements, conditions or provisions of this Land Lease which are binding upon BNPLC (including the confidentiality provisions set forth in subparagraph 16(c) below), or (iii) a decree compelling performance by BNPLC of any of the express covenants, agreements, conditions or provisions of this Land Lease which are binding upon BNPLC. (c) Tax Reporting. BNPLC and NAI shall report this Land Lease and the Purchase Agreement for federal income tax purposes as a conditional sale unless prohibited from doing so by the Internal Revenue Service. If the Internal Revenue Service shall challenge BNPLC's characterization of this Land Lease and the Purchase Agreement as a conditional sale for federal income tax reporting purposes, BNPLC shall notify NAI in writing of such challenge and consider in good faith any reasonable suggestions by NAI about an appropriate response. In any event, NAI shall (subject only to the limitations set forth in this subparagraph) indemnify and hold harmless BNPLC from and against all liabilities, costs, additional taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) and other expenses that may arise or become due because of such challenge or because of any resulting recharacterization required by the Internal Revenue Service, including any additional taxes that may become due upon any sale under the Purchase Agreement to the extent (if any) that such additional taxes are not offset by tax savings resulting from additional depreciation deductions or other tax benefits to BNPLC of the recharacterization. If BNPLC receives a written notice of any challenge by the Internal Revenue Service that BNPLC believes will be covered by this Paragraph, then BNPLC shall promptly furnish a copy of such notice to NAI. The failure to so provide a copy of the notice to NAI shall not excuse NAI from its obligations under this Paragraph; provided, that if none of the officers of NAI and none of the employees of NAI responsible for tax matters are aware of the challenge described in the notice and such failure by BNPLC renders unavailable defenses that NAI might otherwise assert, or precludes actions that NAI might otherwise take, to minimize its obligations hereunder, then NAI shall be excused from its obligation to indemnify BNPLC against liabilities, costs, additional taxes and other expenses, if any, which would not have been incurred but for such failure. For example, if BNPLC fails to provide NAI with a copy of a notice of a challenge by the Internal Revenue Service covered by the indemnities set out in this Land Lease and NAI is not otherwise already aware of such challenge, and if as a result of such failure BNPLC becomes liable for penalties and interest covered by the indemnities in excess of the 10 16 penalties and interest that would have accrued if NAI had been promptly provided with a copy of the notice, then NAI will be excused from any obligation to BNPLC to pay the excess. (d) Characterization of this Land Lease. For purposes of determining the appropriate financial accounting for this Land Lease and for purposes of determining their respective rights and remedies under state law, BNPLC and NAI believe and intend that (i) this Land Lease constitutes a true lease, not a mere financing arrangement, enforceable in accordance with its express terms, and the preceding subparagraph is not intended to affect the enforcement of any other provisions of this Land Lease or the Purchase Agreement, and (ii) the Purchase Agreement shall constitute a separate and independent contract, enforceable in accordance with the express terms and conditions set forth therein. In this regard, NAI acknowledges that NAI asked BNPLC to participate in the transactions evidenced by this Land Lease and the Purchase Agreement as a landlord and owner of the Property, not as a lender. Although other transactions might have been used to accomplish similar results, NAI expects to receive certain material accounting and other advantages through the use of a lease transaction. Accordingly, and notwithstanding the reporting for income tax purposes described in the preceding subparagraph, NAI cannot equitably deny that this Land Lease and the Purchase Agreement should be construed and enforced in accordance with their respective terms, rather than as a mortgage or other security device, in any action brought by BNPLC to enforce this Land Lease or the Purchase Agreement. 5. PAYMENT OF EXECUTORY COSTS AND LOSSES RELATED TO THE PROPERTY. (a) Impositions. Subject only to the exceptions listed in subparagraph 5(d) below, NAI shall pay or cause to be paid prior to delinquency all ad valorem taxes assessed against the Property and other Impositions. If requested by BNPLC from time to time, NAI shall furnish BNPLC with receipts showing payment of all Impositions prior to the applicable delinquency date therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, NAI may in good faith, by appropriate proceedings, contest the validity, applicability or amount of any asserted Imposition, and pending such contest NAI shall not be deemed in default under any of the provisions of this Land Lease because of the Imposition if (1) NAI diligently prosecutes such contest to completion in a manner reasonably satisfactory to BNPLC, and (2) NAI promptly causes to be paid any amount adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be due, with all costs, penalties and interest thereon, promptly after such judgment becomes final; provided, however, in any event each such contest shall be concluded and the contested Impositions must be paid by NAI prior to the earlier of (i) the date that any criminal prosecution is instituted or overtly threatened against BNPLC or its directors, officers or employees because of the nonpayment thereof or (ii) the date any writ or order is issued under which any property owned or leased by BNPLC (including the Property) may be seized or sold or any other action is taken against BNPLC or against any property owned or leased by BNPLC because of the nonpayment thereof, or (iii) any Designated Sale Date upon which, for any reason, NAI or an Affiliate of NAI or any Applicable Purchaser shall not purchase BNPLC's interest in the Property pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for a price to BNPLC (when taken together with any additional payments made by NAI pursuant to Paragraph 1(A)(2) of the Purchase Agreement, in the case of a purchase by an Applicable Purchaser) equal to the Break Even Price. (b) Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy Charges. Subject only to the exceptions listed in subparagraph 5(d) below: 11 17 (i) If after the Effective Date there shall be any increase in the cost to BNPLC's Parent or any other Participant agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining advances to BNPLC in connection with the Property because of any Banking Rules Change, then NAI shall from time to time, pay to BNPLC for the account of BNPLC's Parent or such other Participant, as the case may be, additional amounts sufficient to compensate BNPLC's Parent or the Participant for such increased cost. An increase in costs resulting from any imposition or increase of reserve requirements applicable to Collateral held from time to time by BNPLC's Parent or other Participants pursuant to the Pledge Agreement would be an increase covered by the preceding sentence. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to BNPLC and NAI by BNPLC's Parent or the other Participant, shall be conclusive and binding upon NAI, absent clear and demonstrable error. (ii) BNPLC's Parent or any other Participant may demand additional payments ("CAPITAL ADEQUACY CHARGES") if BNPLC's Parent or the other Participant determines that any Banking Rules Change affects the amount of capital to be maintained by it and that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of advances made or to be made to BNPLC to permit BNPLC to maintain BNPLC's investment in the Property. To the extent that BNPLC's Parent or another Participant demands Capital Adequacy Charges as compensation for the additional capital requirements reasonably allocable to such investment or advances, NAI shall pay to BNPLC for the account of BNPLC's Parent or the other Participant, as the case may be, the amount so demanded. Without limiting the foregoing, BNPLC and NAI hereby acknowledge and agree that the provisions for calculating Base Rent set forth herein reflect the assumption that the Pledge Agreement will cause a zero percent (0%) risk weight to be assigned to a percentage (equal to the Collateral Percentage) of the collective investment of BNPLC and the Participants in the Property pursuant to 12 Code of Federal Regulations, part 225, as from time to time supplemented or amended, or pursuant to any other similar or successor statute or regulation applicable to BNPLC and the Participants. If and so long as such risk weight is increased the assumed amount of zero percent (0%) because of a Banking Rules Change, Capital Adequacy Charges may be collected to yield the same rate of return to BNPLC, BNPLC's Parent and any other Participants (net of their costs of maintaining required capital) that they would have enjoyed from this Land Lease absent such increase. (iii) Any amount required to be paid by NAI under this subparagraph 5(b) shall be due ten days after a demand for such payment is received by NAI. (c) NAI's Payment of Other Losses; General Indemnification. Subject only to the exceptions listed in subparagraph 5(d) below: (i) All Losses (including Environmental Losses) asserted against or incurred or suffered by BNPLC or other Interested Parties at any time and from time to time by reason of, in connection with or arising out of (A) their ownership or alleged ownership of any interest in the Property or the Rents, (B) the use and operation of the Property, (C) the negotiation, administration or enforcement of the Operative Documents, (D) the making of the Initial Funding Advance, (E) the Premises Lease, (F) the breach by NAI of this Land Lease or any other document executed by NAI in connection herewith, (G) any failure of the Property or NAI itself to comply with Applicable Laws, (H) Permitted Encumbrances, (I) Hazardous Substance 12 18 Activities, including those occurring prior to Effective Date, (J) any obligations under the Existing Contract related to the Property that survive the closing thereunder, or (K) any bodily or personal injury or death or property damage occurring in or upon or in the vicinity of the Property through any cause whatsoever, shall be paid by NAI, and NAI shall indemnify and defend BNPLC and other Interested Parties from and against all such Losses. (ii) THE INDEMNITIES AND RELEASES PROVIDED HEREIN FOR THE BENEFIT OF BNPLC AND OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES, INCLUDING THE INDEMNITY SET FORTH IN THE PRECEDING SUBPARAGRAPH 5(c)(i), SHALL APPLY EVEN IF AND WHEN THE SUBJECT MATTERS OF THE INDEMNITIES AND RELEASES ARE CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF THE NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY OF BNPLC OR ANOTHER INTERESTED PARTY. FURTHER, SUCH INDEMNITIES AND RELEASES WILL APPLY EVEN IF INSURANCE OBTAINED BY NAI OR REQUIRED OF NAI BY THIS LAND LEASE OR OTHER OPERATIVE DOCUMENTS IS NOT ADEQUATE TO COVER LOSSES AGAINST OR FOR WHICH THE INDEMNITIES AND RELEASES ARE PROVIDED. NAI'S LIABILITY, HOWEVER, FOR ANY FAILURE TO OBTAIN INSURANCE REQUIRED BY THIS LAND LEASE OR OTHER OPERATIVE DOCUMENTS WILL NOT BE LIMITED TO LOSSES AGAINST WHICH INDEMNITIES ARE PROVIDED HEREIN, IT BEING UNDERSTOOD THAT SUCH INSURANCE IS INTENDED TO DO MORE THAN PROVIDE A SOURCE OF PAYMENT FOR LOSSES AGAINST WHICH BNPLC AND OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES ARE ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION BY THIS LAND LEASE. (iii) Costs and expenses for which NAI shall be responsible pursuant to this subparagraph will include appraisal fees, filing and recording fees, inspection fees, survey fees, taxes, brokerage fees and commissions, abstract fees, title policy fees, Uniform Commercial Code search fees, escrow fees and Attorneys' Fees incurred by BNPLC with respect to the Property, whether such costs and expenses are incurred at the time of execution of this Land Lease or at any time during the Term. (iv) NAI's obligations under this subparagraph 5(c) shall survive the termination or expiration of this Land Lease. Any amount to be paid by NAI under this subparagraph 5(c) shall be due ten days after a demand for such payment is received by NAI. (v) If an Interested Party notifies NAI of any claim or proceeding included in, or any investigation or allegation concerning, Losses for which NAI is responsible pursuant to this subparagraph 5(c), NAI shall assume on behalf of the Interested Party and conduct with due diligence and in good faith the investigation and defense thereof and the response thereto with counsel selected by NAI, but satisfactory to the Interested Party; provided, that the Interested Party shall have the right to be represented by advisory counsel of its own selection and at its own expense; and provided further, that if any such claim, proceeding, investigation or allegation involves both NAI and the Interested Party and the Interested Party shall have reasonably concluded that there are legal defenses available to it which are inconsistent with or in addition to those available to NAI, then the Interested Party shall have the right to select separate counsel to participate in the investigation and defense of and response to such claim, proceeding, 13 19 investigation or allegation on its own behalf, and NAI shall pay or reimburse the Interested Party for all Attorney's Fees incurred by the Interested Party because of the selection of such separate counsel. If NAI fails to assume promptly (and in any event within fifteen days after being notified of the applicable claim, proceeding, investigation or allegation) the defense of the Interested Party, then the Interested Party may contest (or settle, with the prior consent of NAI, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld) the claim, proceeding, investigation or allegation at NAI's expense using counsel selected by the Interested Party. Moreover, if any such failure by NAI continues for forty-five days or more after NAI is notified of any such claim, proceeding, investigation or allegation, the Interested Party may elect not to contest or continue contesting the same and instead, in accordance with the written advice of counsel, settle (or pay in full) all claims related thereto without NAI's consent and without releasing NAI from any obligations to the Interested Party under this subparagraph 5(c). (d) Exceptions and Qualifications to Indemnities. (i) BNPLC acknowledges and agrees that nothing in subparagraph 4(a) or the preceding subparagraphs of this Paragraph 5 shall be construed to require NAI to pay or reimburse an Interested Party for (w) any costs or expenses incurred by BNPLC or any transferee to accomplish any Permitted Transfers described in clauses (2), (3), (4), (6) or (7) of the definition thereof in the Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement (Phase V - Land), (x) Excluded Taxes, (y) Losses incurred or suffered by such Interested Party that are proximately caused by (and attributed by any applicable principles of comparative fault to) the Established Misconduct of that Interested Party, or (z) Losses incurred or suffered by Participants in connection with their negotiation or execution of the Participation Agreement or Pledge Agreement (or supplements making them parties thereto) or in connection with any due diligence they may undertake before entering into the Participation Agreement or Pledge Agreement. Further, without limiting BNPLC's rights (as provided in other provisions of this Land Lease and other Operative Documents) to include the following in the calculation of Stipulated Loss Value or the Break Even Price or collect Base Rent, a Supplemental Payment and other amounts, the calculation of which depends upon the Stipulated Loss Value or the Break Even Price, BNPLC acknowledges and agrees that nothing in subparagraph 4(a) or the preceding subparagraphs of this Paragraph 5 shall be construed to require NAI to pay or reimburse an Interested Party for: a) costs paid by BNPLC with the proceeds of the Initial Funding Advance as part of the Transaction Expenses; or b) Construction Advances made under (and as defined in) the Construction Management Agreement or the Other Lease Agreement, including costs and expenditures incurred or paid by or on behalf of BNPLC after any Landlord's Election to Continue Construction under (and as defined in) the Other Lease Agreement, to the extent that such costs and expenditures are considered to be Construction Advances pursuant to subparagraph 6(e) of the Other Lease Agreement. Further, if an Interested Party receives a written notice of Losses that such Interested Party believes are covered by the indemnity in subparagraph 5(c)(i), then such Interested Party will be expected to promptly furnish a copy of such notice to NAI. The failure to 14 20 so provide a copy of the notice to NAI shall not excuse NAI from its obligations under subparagraph 5(c)(i); provided, that if NAI is unaware of the matters described in the notice and such failure renders unavailable defenses that NAI might otherwise assert, or precludes actions that NAI might otherwise take, to minimize its obligations, then NAI shall be excused from its obligation to indemnify such Interested Party (and any Affiliate of such Interested Party) against the Losses, if any, which would not have been incurred or suffered but for such failure. For example, if BNPLC fails to provide NAI with a copy of a notice of an obligation covered by the indemnity set out in subparagraph 5(c)(i) and NAI is not otherwise already aware of such obligation, and if as a result of such failure BNPLC becomes liable for penalties and interest covered by the indemnity in excess of the penalties and interest that would have accrued if NAI had been promptly provided with a copy of the notice, then NAI will be excused from any obligation to BNPLC (or any Affiliate of BNPLC) to pay the excess. 6. INTENTIONALLY DELETED. 7. INTENTIONALLY DELETED. 8. ENVIRONMENTAL. (a) Environmental Covenants by NAI. NAI covenants that: (i) NAI shall not conduct or permit others to conduct Hazardous Substance Activities, except Permitted Hazardous Substance Use and Remedial Work. (ii) NAI shall not discharge or permit the discharge of anything on or from the Property that would require any permit under applicable Environmental Laws, other than (1) storm water runoff, (2) waste water discharges through a publicly owned treatment works, (3) discharges that are a necessary part of any Remedial Work, and (4) other similar discharges consistent with the definition herein of Permitted Hazardous Substance Use, in each case in strict compliance with Environmental Laws. (iii) Following any discovery that Remedial Work is required by Environmental Laws or otherwise believed by BNPLC to be reasonably required, and to the extent not inconsistent with the other provisions of this Land Lease, NAI shall promptly perform and diligently and continuously pursue such Remedial Work, in each case in strict compliance with Environmental Laws. (iv) If requested by BNPLC in connection with any Remedial Work required by this subparagraph, NAI shall retain independent environmental consultants acceptable to BNPLC to evaluate any significant new information generated during NAI's implementation of the Remedial Work and to discuss with NAI whether such new information indicates the need for any additional measures that NAI should take to protect the health and safety of persons (including employees, contractors and subcontractors and their employees) or to protect the environment. NAI shall implement any such additional measures to the extent required with respect to the Property by Environmental Laws or otherwise believed by BNPLC to be 15 21 reasonably required and to the extent not inconsistent with the other provisions of this Land Lease. (b) Right of BNPLC to do Remedial Work Not Performed by NAI. If NAI's failure to cure any breach of the covenants set forth in subparagraph 8(a) continues beyond the Environmental Cure Period (as defined below), BNPLC may, in addition to any other remedies available to it, conduct all or any part of the Remedial Work. To the extent that Remedial Work is done by BNPLC pursuant to the preceding sentence (including any removal of Hazardous Substances), the cost thereof shall be a demand obligation owing by NAI to BNPLC. As used in this subparagraph, "ENVIRONMENTAL CURE PERIOD" means the period ending on the earlier of: (1) one hundred eighty days after NAI is notified of the breach which must be cured within such period, (2) the date that any writ or order is issued for the levy or sale of any property owned by BNPLC (including the Property) because of such breach, (3) the date that any criminal action is instituted or overtly threatened against BNPLC or any of its directors, officers or employees because of such breach, or (4) any Designated Sale Date upon which, for any reason, NAI or an Affiliate of NAI or any Applicable Purchaser shall not purchase BNPLC's interest in the Property pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for a net price to BNPLC (when taken together with any Supplemental Payment made by NAI pursuant to Paragraph 1(A)(2) of the Purchase Agreement, in the case of a purchase by an Applicable Purchaser) equal to Stipulated Loss Value. (c) Environmental Inspections and Reviews. BNPLC reserves the right to retain environmental consultants to review any report prepared by NAI or to conduct BNPLC's own investigation to confirm whether NAI is complying with the requirements of this Paragraph 8. NAI grants to BNPLC and to BNPLC's agents, employees, consultants and contractors the right to enter upon the Property at any time to inspect the Property and to perform such tests as BNPLC deems necessary or appropriate to review or investigate Hazardous Substances in, on, under or about the Property or any discharge or suspected discharge of Hazardous Substances into groundwater or surface water from the Property. NAI shall promptly reimburse BNPLC for the fees of its environmental consultants and the costs of any such inspections and tests. (d) Communications Regarding Environmental Matters. (i) NAI shall immediately advise BNPLC of (1) any discovery of any event or circumstance which would render any of the representations of NAI herein or in the Closing Certificate concerning environmental matters materially inaccurate or misleading if made at the time of such discovery and assuming that NAI was aware of all relevant facts, (2) any Remedial Work (or change in Remedial Work) required or undertaken by NAI or its Affiliates in response to any (A) discovery of any Hazardous Substances on, under or about the Property other than Permitted Hazardous Substances or (B) any claim for damages resulting from Hazardous Substance Activities, (3) NAI's discovery of any occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the Property which could cause the Property or any part thereof to be subject to any ownership, occupancy, transferability or use restrictions under Environmental Laws, or (4) any investigation or inquiry of any failure or alleged failure by NAI to comply with Environmental Laws affecting the Property by any governmental authority responsible for enforcing Environmental Laws. In such event, NAI shall deliver to BNPLC within thirty days after BNPLC's request, a preliminary written environmental plan setting forth a general description of the action that NAI proposes to take with respect thereto, if any, to bring the 16 22 Property into compliance with Environmental Laws or to correct any breach by NAI of this Paragraph 8, including any proposed Remedial Work, the estimated cost and time of completion, the name of the contractor and a copy of the construction contract, if any, and such additional data, instruments, documents, agreements or other materials or information as BNPLC may request. (ii) NAI shall provide BNPLC with copies of all material written communications with federal, state and local governments, or agencies relating to the matters listed in the preceding clause (i). NAI shall also provide BNPLC with copies of any correspondence from third Persons which threaten litigation over any significant failure or alleged significant failure of NAI to maintain or operate the Property in accordance with Environmental Laws. (iii) Prior to NAI's submission of a Material Environmental Communication to any governmental or regulatory agency or third party, NAI shall, to the extent practicable, deliver to BNPLC a draft of the proposed submission (together with the proposed date of submission), and in good faith assess and consider any comments of BNPLC regarding the same. Promptly after BNPLC's request, NAI shall meet with BNPLC to discuss the submission, shall provide any additional information requested by BNPLC and shall provide a written explanation to BNPLC addressing the issues raised by comments (if any) of BNPLC regarding the submission, including a reasoned analysis supporting any decision by NAI not to modify the submission in accordance with comments of BNPLC. 9. INSURANCE REQUIRED AND CONDEMNATION. (a) Liability Insurance. Throughout the Term NAI shall maintain commercial general liability insurance against claims for bodily and personal injury, death and property damage occurring in or upon or resulting from any occurrence in or upon the Property under one or more insurance policies that satisfy the requirements set forth in Exhibit B. NAI shall deliver and maintain with BNPLC for each liability insurance policy required by this Land Lease written confirmation of the policy and the scope of the coverage provided thereby issued by the applicable insurer or its authorized agent, which confirmation must also satisfy the requirements set forth in Exhibit B. (b) Intentionally Deleted. (c) Failure to Obtain Insurance. If NAI fails to obtain any insurance or to provide confirmation of any such insurance as required by this Land Lease, BNPLC shall be entitled (but not required) to obtain the insurance that NAI has failed to obtain or for which NAI has not provided the required confirmation and, without limiting BNPLC's other remedies under the circumstances, BNPLC may require NAI to reimburse BNPLC for the cost of such insurance and to pay interest thereon computed at the Default Rate from the date such cost was paid by BNPLC until the date of reimbursement by NAI (provided, however, that any such insurance cost paid by BNPLC prior to the Base Rent Commencement Date will be charged against the Construction Allowance under, and as defined in, the Construction Management Agreement as if it had been paid by NAI). (d) Condemnation. Immediately upon obtaining knowledge of the institution of any proceedings for the condemnation of the Property or any portion thereof, or any other similar governmental or quasi-governmental proceedings arising out of injury or damage to the Property or any 17 23 portion thereof, each party shall notify the other (provided, however, BNPLC shall have no liability for its failure to provide such notice) of the pendency of such proceedings. NAI shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings and shall consult with BNPLC, its attorneys and experts and cooperate with them as requested in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. All proceeds of condemnation awards or proceeds of sale in lieu of condemnation with respect to the Property and all judgments, decrees and awards for injury or damage to the Property shall be paid to BNPLC as Escrowed Proceeds, and all such proceeds will be applied as provided in Paragraph 10. BNPLC is hereby authorized, in the name of NAI, at any time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or otherwise with NAI's prior consent, to execute and deliver valid acquittances for, and to appeal from, any such judgment, decree or award concerning condemnation of any of the Property. BNPLC shall not be in any event or circumstances liable or responsible for failure to collect, or to exercise diligence in the collection of, any such proceeds, judgments, decrees or awards. (e) Waiver of Subrogation. NAI, for itself and for any Person claiming through it (including any insurance company claiming by way of subrogation), waives any and every claim which arises or may arise in its favor against BNPLC or any other Interested Party and the officers, directors, and employees of the Interested Parties for any and all Losses, to the extent that NAI is compensated by insurance or would be compensated by the insurance policies contemplated in this Land Lease, but for any deductible or self-insured retention maintained under such insurance or but for a failure of NAI to maintain the insurance as required by this Land Lease. NAI agrees to have such insurance policies properly endorsed so as to make them valid notwithstanding this waiver, if such endorsement is required to prevent a loss of insurance. 10. APPLICATION OF INSURANCE AND CONDEMNATION PROCEEDS. (a) Collection and Application of Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds Generally. This Paragraph 10 shall govern the application of proceeds received by BNPLC or NAI during the Term from any third party (1) as compensation for any restriction placed upon the use or development of the Property or for the condemnation of the Property or any portion thereof, or (2) because of any judgment, decree or award for injury or damage to the Property (e.g.,damage resulting from a third party's release of Hazardous Materials onto the Property); excluding, however, any funds paid to BNPLC by BNPLC's Parent, by an Affiliate of BNPLC or by any Participant that is made to compensate BNPLC for any Losses BNPLC may suffer or incur in connection with this Land Lease or the Property. NAI will promptly pay over to BNPLC any insurance, condemnation or other proceeds covered by this Paragraph 10 which NAI may receive from any insurer, condemning authority or other third party. All proceeds covered by this Paragraph 10, including those received by BNPLC from NAI or third parties, shall be applied as follows: (i) First, proceeds covered by this Paragraph 10 will be used to reimburse BNPLC for any costs and expenses, including Attorneys' Fees, that BNPLC incurred to collect the proceeds. (ii) Second, the proceeds remaining after such reimbursement to BNPLC (hereinafter, the "REMAINING PROCEEDS") will be applied, as hereinafter more particularly provided, either as a Qualified Prepayment or to reimburse NAI or BNPLC for the actual out-of-pocket costs of repairing or restoring the Property. Until, however, any Remaining Proceeds received by BNPLC are applied by BNPLC as a Qualified Prepayment or applied by BNPLC to reimburse costs of 18 24 repairs to or restoration of the Property pursuant to this Paragraph 10, BNPLC shall hold and maintain such Remaining Proceeds as Escrowed Proceeds in an interest bearing account, and all interest earned on such account shall be added to and made a part of such Escrowed Proceeds. (b) Advances of Escrowed Proceeds to NAI. Except as otherwise provided below in this Paragraph 10, BNPLC shall advance all Remaining Proceeds held by it as Escrowed Proceeds to reimburse NAI for the actual out-of-pocket cost to NAI of repairing or restoring the Property in accordance with the requirements of this Land Lease and the other Operative Documents as the applicable repair or restoration progresses and upon compliance by NAI with such terms, conditions and requirements as may be reasonably imposed by BNPLC. In no event, however, shall BNPLC be required to pay Escrowed Proceeds to NAI in excess of the actual out-of-pocket cost to NAI of the applicable repair or restoration, as evidenced by invoices or other documentation satisfactory to BNPLC, it being understood that BNPLC may retain and apply any such excess as a Qualified Prepayment. (c) Application of Escrowed Proceeds as a Qualified Prepayment. Provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, BNPLC shall apply any Remaining Proceeds paid to it (or other amounts available for application as a Qualified Prepayment) as a Qualified Prepayment on any date that BNPLC is directed to do so by a notice from NAI; however, if such a notice from NAI specifies an effective date for a Qualified Prepayment that is less than five Business Days after BNPLC's actual receipt of the notice, BNPLC may postpone the date of the Qualified Prepayment to any date not later than five Business Days after BNPLC's receipt of the notice. In any event, except when BNPLC is required by the preceding sentence to apply Remaining Proceeds or other amounts as a Qualified Prepayment on a Base Rent Date, BNPLC may deduct Breakage Costs incurred in connection with any Qualified Prepayment from the Remaining Proceeds or other amounts available for application as the Qualified Prepayment, and NAI will reimburse BNPLC upon request for any such Breakage Costs that BNPLC incurs but does not deduct. (d) Special Provisions Applicable After an Event of Default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, BNPLC shall be entitled to receive and collect all insurance, condemnation or other proceeds governed by this Paragraph 10 and to apply all Remaining Proceeds, when and to the extent deemed appropriate by BNPLC in its sole discretion, either (A) to the reimbursement of NAI or BNPLC for the out-of-pocket cost of repairing or restoring the Property, or (B) as Qualified Prepayments. (e) NAI's Obligation to Restore. Regardless of the adequacy of any Remaining Proceeds available to NAI hereunder, and notwithstanding other provisions of this Land Lease to the contrary, if the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty or less than all or substantially all of the Property is taken by condemnation, NAI must: A) increase the value of the Property or the remainder thereof by restoring the same (in a manner consistent with the requirements and limitations imposed by this Land Lease and the other Operative Documents or otherwise acceptable to BNPLC), or decrease Stipulated Loss Value by tendering a payment to BNPLC for application as a Qualified Prepayment, as necessary to cause Current AS IS Market Value to be not less than sixty percent (60%) of Stipulated Loss Value; and 19 25 B) restore the Property or the remainder thereof to a reasonably safe and sightly condition. (f) Takings of All or Substantially All of the Property on or after the Base Rent Commencement Date. In the event of any taking of all or substantially all of the Property on or after the Base Rent Commencement Date, BNPLC shall be entitled to apply all Remaining Proceeds as a Qualified Prepayment. In addition, if Stipulated Loss Value immediately prior to any such taking exceeds the sum of the Remaining Proceeds resulting from such condemnation, then BNPLC shall be entitled to recover the excess from NAI upon demand as an additional Qualified Prepayment, whereupon this Land Lease shall terminate. Any taking of so much of the Real Property as, in BNPLC's reasonable good faith judgment, makes it impracticable to restore or improve the remainder thereof as required by part (2) of the preceding subparagraph shall be considered a taking of substantially all the Property for purposes of this Paragraph 10. 11. ADDITIONAL REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF NAI CONCERNING THE PROPERTY. NAI represents, warrants and covenants as follows: (a) Compliance with Covenants and Laws. The use of the Property permitted by this Land Lease complies, or will comply after NAI obtains available permits as the tenant under this Land Lease, in all material respects with all Applicable Laws. NAI has obtained or will promptly obtain all utility, building, health and operating permits as may be required by any governmental authority or municipality having jurisdiction over the Property for any construction upon or use of the Property permitted by this Land Lease. (b) Operation of the Property. During the Term, NAI shall operate the Property in a good and workmanlike manner and substantially in compliance with all Applicable Laws and will pay or cause to be paid all fees or charges of any kind in connection therewith. (If NAI does not promptly correct any failure of the Property to comply with Applicable Laws that is the subject of a written notice given to NAI or BNPLC by any governmental authority, then for purposes of the preceding sentence, NAI shall be considered not to have maintained the Property "substantially in accordance with Applicable Laws" whether or not the noncompliance would be substantial in the absence of the notice.) During the Term, NAI shall not use or occupy, or allow the use or occupancy of, the Property in any manner which violates any Applicable Law or which constitutes a public or private nuisance or which makes void, voidable or cancelable any insurance then in force with respect thereto. During the Term, to the extent that any of the following would, individually or in the aggregate, increase the likelihood of a CMA Termination Event under (and as defined in) the Construction Management Agreement or materially and adversely affect the value of the Property or NAI's use, occupancy or operations on the Property, NAI shall not, without BNPLC's prior consent: (i) initiate or permit any zoning reclassification of the Property; (ii) seek any variance under existing zoning ordinances applicable to the Property; (iii) use or permit the use of the Property in a manner that would result in such use becoming a nonconforming use under applicable zoning ordinances or similar laws, rules or regulations; (iv) execute or file any subdivision plat affecting the Property; or (v) consent to the annexation of the Property to any municipality. If (A) a change in the zoning or other Applicable Laws affecting the permitted use or development of the Property shall occur after the Base Rent Commencement Date that reduces the value of the Property, or (B) conditions or circumstances on or about the Property are discovered after the Base Rent Commencement Date (such as the presence of an endangered species) which substantially 20 26 impede development and thereby reduce the value of the Property, and if after any such reduction under clause (A) or (B) preceding the Current AS IS Market Value of the Property is less than sixty percent (60%) of Stipulated Loss Value, then NAI shall pay BNPLC upon request the amount by which Current AS IS Market Value is less than sixty percent (60%) of Stipulated Loss Value, for application as a Qualified Prepayment. During the Term, NAI shall not cause or permit any drilling or exploration for, or extraction, removal or production of, minerals from the surface or subsurface of the Property, and NAI shall not do any act whereby the market value of the Property may reasonably be expected to be materially lessened. During the Term, if NAI receives a written notice or claim from any federal, state or other governmental entity that the Property is not in compliance in any material respect with any Applicable Law, or that any action may be taken against the owner of the Property because the Property does not comply with Applicable Law, NAI shall promptly furnish a copy of such notice or claim to BNPLC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, NAI may in good faith, by appropriate proceedings, contest the validity and applicability of any Applicable Law with respect to the Property, and pending such contest NAI shall not be deemed in default hereunder because of the violation of such Applicable Law, if NAI diligently prosecutes such contest to completion in a manner reasonably satisfactory to BNPLC, and if NAI promptly causes the Property to comply with any such Applicable Law upon a final determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that the same is valid and applicable to the Property; provided, however, in any event such contest shall be concluded and the violation of such Applicable Law must be corrected by NAI and any claims asserted against BNPLC or the Property because of such violation must be paid by NAI, all prior to the earlier of (i) the date that any criminal prosecution is instituted or overtly threatened against BNPLC or any of its directors, officers or employees because of such violation, (ii) the date that any action is taken by any governmental authority against BNPLC or any property owned by BNPLC (including the Property) because of such violation, or (iii) a Designated Sale Date upon which, for any reason, NAI or an Affiliate of NAI or any Applicable Purchaser shall not purchase BNPLC's interest in the Property pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for a price to BNPLC (when taken together with any additional payments made by NAI pursuant to Paragraph 1(A)(2) of the Purchase Agreement, in the case of a purchase by an Applicable Purchaser) equal to the Break Even Price. (c) Debts for Construction, Maintenance, Operation or Development. NAI shall cause all debts and liabilities incurred in the construction, maintenance, operation or development of the Property, including all debts and liabilities for labor, material and equipment and all debts and charges for utilities servicing the Property, to be promptly paid; provided, that nothing in this subparagraph will be construed to require NAI to remove Liens Removable by BNPLC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, NAI may in good faith, by appropriate proceedings, contest the validity, applicability or amount of any asserted mechanic's or materialmen's lien and pending such contest NAI shall not be deemed in default under this subparagraph because of the contested lien if (1) within sixty days after being asked to do so by BNPLC, NAI bonds over to BNPLC's reasonable satisfaction all such contested liens against the Property alleged to secure an amount in excess of $500,000 (individually or in the aggregate), (2) NAI diligently prosecutes such contest to completion in a manner reasonably satisfactory to BNPLC, and (3) NAI promptly causes to be paid any amount adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be due, with all costs and interest thereon, promptly after such judgment becomes final; provided, however, that in any event each such contest shall be 21 27 concluded and the lien, interest and costs must be paid by NAI prior to the earlier of (i) the date that any criminal prosecution is instituted or overtly threatened against BNPLC or its directors, officers or employees because of the nonpayment thereof, (ii) the date that any writ or order is issued under which the Property or any other property in which BNPLC has an interest may be seized or sold or any other action is taken against BNPLC or any property in which BNPLC has an interest because of the nonpayment thereof, or (iii) a Designated Sale Date upon which, for any reason, NAI or an Affiliate of NAI or any Applicable Purchaser shall not purchase BNPLC's interest in the Property pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for a price to BNPLC (when taken together with any additional payments made by NAI pursuant to Paragraph 1(A)(2) of the Purchase Agreement, in the case of a purchase by an Applicable Purchaser) equal to the Break Even Price. (d) Repair, Maintenance, Alterations and Additions. NAI shall keep the Property in good order, operating condition and appearance and shall cause all necessary repairs, renewals and replacements to be promptly made. NAI will not allow any of the Property to be materially misused, abused or wasted. NAI shall not, without the prior consent of BNPLC, make material new Improvements or alter Improvements in any material respect , except as part of the work performed in accordance with the Construction Management Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, NAI will notify BNPLC before making any significant alterations to the Improvements after the completion of the Construction Project. Nothing in this subparagraph, however, is intended to limit NAI's rights and obligations under other express provisions of the Other Lease Agreement and the Construction Management Agreement with respect to the Construction Project. (e) Permitted Encumbrances and Development Documents. NAI shall during the Term comply with and will cause to be performed all of the covenants, agreements and obligations imposed upon the owner of any interest in the Property by the Permitted Encumbrances (including the Premises Lease) or the Development Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, NAI shall cause all amounts to be paid when due, the payment of which is secured by any Lien against the Property created by the Permitted Encumbrances. Without the prior consent of BNPLC, NAI shall not enter into, initiate, approve or consent to any modification of any Permitted Encumbrance or Development Document that would create or expand or purport to create or expand obligations or restrictions which would encumber BNPLC's interest in the Property. (Whether BNPLC must give any such consent requested by NAI during the Term of this Land Lease shall be governed by subparagraph 3(A) of the Closing Certificate and Agreement.) (f) Books and Records Concerning the Property. NAI shall keep books and records that are accurate and complete in all material respects for the Property and, subject to Paragraph 16(c), will permit all such books and records to be inspected and copied by BNPLC. This subparagraph shall not be construed as requiring NAI to regularly maintain separate books and records relating exclusively to the Property; provided, however, that upon request, NAI shall construct or abstract from its regularly maintained books and records information required by this subparagraph relating to the Property. 22 28 12. FINANCIAL COVENANTS AND OTHER COVENANTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE TO SCHEDULE 1. Throughout the Term of this Land Lease, NAI shall comply with the requirements of Schedule 1 attached hereto. 13. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER REPORTS. (a) Financial Statements; Required Notices; Certificates. Throughout the Term of this Land Lease, NAI shall deliver to BNPLC and to each Participant: (i) as soon as available and in any event within one hundred twenty days after the end of each fiscal year of NAI, a consolidated balance sheet of NAI and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of the end of such fiscal year and a consolidated income statement and statement of cash flows of NAI and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for such fiscal year, all in reasonable detail and all prepared in accordance with GAAP and accompanied by a report and opinion of accountants of national standing selected by NAI, which report and opinion shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and shall not be subject to any qualifications or exceptions as to the scope of the audit nor to any qualification or exception which BNPLC determines, in BNPLC's reasonable discretion, is unacceptable; (ii) as soon as available and in any event within sixty days after the end of each of the first three quarters of each fiscal year of NAI, the consolidated balance sheet of NAI and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of the end of such quarter and the consolidated income statement and the consolidated statement of cash flows of NAI and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for the period commencing at the end of the previous fiscal year and ending with the end of such quarter, all in reasonable detail and all prepared in accordance with GAAP and certified by the chief financial officer or controller of NAI (subject to year-end adjustments); (iii) together with the financial statements furnished in accordance with subparagraph 13(a)(i) and 13(a)(ii), a certificate of the chief financial officer or controller of NAI: (i) certifying that to the knowledge of NAI no Default or Event of Default under this Land Lease has occurred and is continuing or, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, a brief statement as to the nature thereof and the action which is proposed to be taken with respect thereto, (ii) certifying that the representations of NAI set forth in the Operative Documents are true and correct in all material respects as of the date thereof as though made on and as of the date thereof or, if not then true and correct, a brief statement as to why such representations are no longer true and correct, and (iii) with computations demonstrating compliance with the financial covenants contained in Schedule 1; (iv) within five days after the end of each calendar month, a certificate of the chief financial officer or controller of NAI certifying that at the end of the preceding calendar month, NAI had sufficient cash and other assets described in Paragraph 1 of Part II of Schedule 1 to comply with the requirements of that paragraph; (v) promptly after the sending or filing thereof, copies of all proxy statements, financial statements and reports which NAI sends to NAI's stockholders, and copies of all regular, periodic and special reports, and all registration statements (other than registration statements on Form S-8 or any form substituted therefor) which NAI files with the Securities and 23 29 Exchange Commission or any governmental authority which may be substituted therefor, or with any national securities exchange; (vi) upon request by BNPLC, a statement in writing certifying that the Operative Documents are unmodified and in full effect (or, if there have been modifications, that the Operative Documents are in full effect as modified, and setting forth such modifications) and the dates to which the Base Rent has been paid and either stating that to the knowledge of NAI no Default or Event of Default under this Land Lease has occurred and is continuing or, if a Default or Event of Default under this Land Lease has occurred and is continuing, a brief statement as to the nature thereof; it being intended that any such statement by NAI may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or mortgagee of the Property and by the Participants (vii) as soon as possible after, and in any event within ten days after NAI becomes aware that, any of the following has occurred, with respect to which the potential aggregate liability to NAI relating thereto is $500,000 or more, a notice signed by a senior financial officer of NAI setting forth details of the following and the response, if any, which NAI or its ERISA Affiliate proposes to take with respect thereto (and a copy of any report or notice required to be filed with or given to PBGC by NAI or an ERISA Affiliate with respect to any of the following or the events or conditions leading up to the following): (A) the assertion, to secure any Unfunded Benefit Liabilities, of any Lien against the assets of NAI, against the assets of any Plan or Multiemployer Plan or against any interest of BNPLC or NAI in the Property, or (B) the taking of any action by the PBGC or any other governmental authority against NAI to terminate any Plan of NAI or any ERISA Affiliate of NAI or to cause the appointment of a trustee or receiver to administer any such Plan ; and (viii) such other information respecting the condition or operations, financial or otherwise, of NAI, of any of its Subsidiaries or of the Property as BNPLC or any Participant through BNPLC may from time to time reasonably request. BNPLC is hereby authorized to deliver a copy of any information or certificate delivered to it pursuant to this subparagraph 13(a) to BNPLC's Parent, to the Participants and to any regulatory body having jurisdiction over BNPLC or BNPLC's Parent or any Participant that requires or requests it. 14. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING BY NAI. (a) BNPLC's Consent Required. Without the prior consent of BNPLC, NAI shall not assign, transfer, mortgage, pledge or hypothecate this Land Lease or any interest of NAI hereunder and shall not sublet all or any part of the Property, by operation of law or otherwise; provided, that this provision will not be construed to prohibit (I) any sublease of space within Improvements expressly permitted by the Other Lease Agreement and (II) subject to subparagraph 14(c) below, this provision shall not be construed to prohibit any Premises Lease described in the Other Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement or any transfer or sublease by a lessee thereunder which is authorized by the Premises Lease. (b) Standard for BNPLC's Consent to Assignments and Certain Other Matters. Consents and approvals of BNPLC which are required by this Paragraph 14 will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, but NAI acknowledges that BNPLC's withholding of such consent or approval 24 30 shall be reasonable if BNPLC determines in good faith that (1) giving the approval may materially increase BNPLC's risk of liability for any existing or future environmental problem, or (2) giving the approval is likely to increase BNPLC's administrative burden of complying with or monitoring NAI's compliance with the requirements of this Land Lease. (c) Consent Not a Waiver. No consent by BNPLC to a sale, assignment, transfer, mortgage, pledge or hypothecation of this Land Lease or NAI's interest hereunder, and no assignment or subletting of the Property or any part thereof in accordance with this Land Lease or otherwise with BNPLC's consent, shall release NAI from liability hereunder; and any such consent shall apply only to the specific transaction thereby authorized and shall not relieve NAI from any requirement of obtaining the prior consent of BNPLC to any further sale, assignment, transfer, mortgage, pledge or hypothecation of this Land Lease or any interest of NAI hereunder. 15. ASSIGNMENT BY BNPLC. (a) Restrictions on Transfers. Except by a Permitted Transfer, BNPLC shall not assign, transfer, mortgage, pledge, encumber or hypothecate this Land Lease or the other Operative Documents or any interest of BNPLC in and to the Property during the Term without the prior consent of NAI, which consent NAI may withhold in its sole discretion. Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, if withholding taxes are imposed on the rents and other amounts payable to BNPLC hereunder because of BNPLC's assignment of this Land Lease to any citizen of, or any corporation or other entity formed under the laws of, a country other than the United States, NAI shall not be required to compensate BNPLC or any such assignee for the withholding tax. If, in breach of this subparagraph, BNPLC transfer the Property or any part thereof by a conveyance or that does not constitute a Permitted Transfer, with the result that additional transfer taxes or other Impositions are assessed against the Property or the owner thereof, BNPLC shall be required to pay such additional transfer taxes or other Impositions. (b) Effect of Permitted Transfer or other Assignment by BNPLC. If, without breaching subparagraph 15(a), BNPLC sells or otherwise transfers the Property and assigns all of its rights under this Land Lease and the other Operative Documents, then BNPLC shall thereby be released from any obligations arising after such assumption under this Land Lease or the other Operative Documents, and NAI shall look solely to each successor in interest of BNPLC for performance of such obligations. 16. BNPLC'S RIGHT OF ACCESS. (a) During the Term, BNPLC and BNPLC's representatives may (subject to subparagraph 16(c)) enter the Property at any reasonable time after five Business Days advance written notice to NAI for the purpose of making inspections or performing any work BNPLC is authorized to undertake by the next subparagraph or for the purpose confirming whether NAI has complied with the requirements of this Land Lease or the other Operative Documents. (b) If NAI fails to perform any act or to take any action required of it by this Land Lease or the Closing Certificate, or to pay any money which NAI is required by this Land Lease or the Closing Certificate to pay, and if such failure or action constitutes an Event of Default or renders BNPLC or any director, officer, employee or Affiliate of BNPLC at risk of criminal prosecution or 25 31 renders BNPLC's interest in the Property or any part thereof at risk of forfeiture by forced sale or otherwise, then in addition to any other remedies specified herein or otherwise available, BNPLC may, perform or cause to be performed such act or take such action or pay such money. Any expenses so incurred by BNPLC, and any money so paid by BNPLC, shall be a demand obligation owing by NAI to BNPLC. Further, BNPLC, upon making such payment, shall be subrogated to all of the rights of the person, corporation or body politic receiving such payment. But nothing herein shall imply any duty upon the part of BNPLC to do any work which under any provision of this Land Lease NAI may be required to perform, and the performance thereof by BNPLC shall not constitute a waiver of NAI's default. BNPLC may during the progress of any such work permitted by BNPLC hereunder on or in the Property keep and store upon the Property all necessary materials, tools, and equipment. BNPLC shall not in any event be liable for inconvenience, annoyance, disturbance, loss of business, or other damage to NAI or the subtenants or invitees of NAI by reason of making such repairs or the performance of any such work on or in the Property, or on account of bringing materials, supplies and equipment into or through the Property during the course of such work (except for any liability in excess of the liability insurance limits established in Exhibit B resulting from death or injury or damage to the property of third parties caused by the Established Misconduct of BNPLC or its officers, employees, or agents in connection therewith), and the obligations of NAI under this Land Lease shall not thereby be excused in any manner. (c) NAI shall have no obligation to provide proprietary information (as defined in the next sentence) to BNPLC, except and to the extent that (1) BNPLC reasonably determines that BNPLC cannot accomplish the purposes of BNPLC's inspection of the Property or exercise of other rights granted pursuant to the various express provisions of this Land Lease and the other Operative Documents without evaluating such information. For purposes of this Land Lease "PROPRIETARY INFORMATION" includes NAI's intellectual property, trade secrets and other confidential information of value to NAI about, among other things, NAI's manufacturing processes, products, marketing and corporate strategies, but in no event will "proprietary information" include any disclosure of substances and materials (and their chemical composition) which are or previously have been present in, on or under the Property at the time of any inspections by BNPLC, nor will "proprietary information" include any additional disclosures reasonably required to permit BNPLC to determine whether the presence of such substances and materials has constituted a violation of Environmental Laws. In addition, under no circumstances shall NAI have any obligation to disclose to BNPLC or any other party any proprietary information of NAI (including, without limitation, any pending applications for patents or trademarks, any research and design and any trade secrets) except if and to the limited extent reasonably necessary to comply with the express provisions of this Land Lease or the other Operative Documents. 17. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Each of the following events shall be an "EVENT OF Default" by NAI under this Land Lease: (a) NAI shall fail to pay when due any installment of Rent due hereunder and such failure shall continue for three (3) Business Days after NAI is notified in writing thereof. (b) NAI shall fail to cause any representation or warranty of NAI contained herein or in the Closing Certificate that was false or misleading in any material respect when made to be made true and not misleading (other than as described in the other clauses of this Paragraph 17), or NAI shall fail to comply with any term, provision or covenant of this Land Lease or the Closing Certificate (other 26 32 than as described in the other clauses of this Paragraph 17), and in either case shall not cure such failure prior to the earlier of (A) thirty days after written notice thereof is sent to NAI or (B) the date any writ or order is issued for the levy or sale of any property owned by BNPLC (including the Property) or any criminal prosecution is instituted or overtly threatened against BNPLC or any of its directors, officers or employees because of such failure; provided, however, that so long as no such writ or order is issued and no such criminal prosecution is instituted or overtly threatened, the period within which such failure may be cured by NAI shall be extended for a further period (not to exceed an additional sixty days) as shall be necessary for the curing thereof with diligence, if (but only if) (x) such failure is susceptible of cure but cannot with reasonable diligence be cured within such thirty day period, (y) NAI shall promptly have commenced to cure such failure and shall thereafter continuously prosecute the curing thereof with reasonable diligence and (z) the extension of the period for cure will not, in any event, cause the period for cure to extend beyond five days prior to the expiration of this Land Lease. (c) NAI shall abandon the Property. (d) NAI or any Subsidiary shall fail to make any payment or payments of principal, premium or interest, of Debt of NAI described in the next sentence when due (taking into consideration the time NAI may have to cure such failure, if any, under the documents governing such Debt). As used in this clause "DEBT" shall include only Debt (as defined in the Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement (Phase V - Land)) of NAI or any of its Subsidiaries now existing or arising in the future (a) payable to BNPLC or any Affiliate of BNPLC, or (B) payable to any other Person and with respect to which $3,000,000 or more is actually due and payable because of acceleration or otherwise. (e) NAI: (a) shall generally not, or be unable to, or shall admit in writing its inability to, pay its debts as such debts become due; or (b) shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, petition or apply to any tribunal for the appointment of a custodian, receiver or trustee for it or a substantial part of its assets; or (c) shall file any petition or application to commence any proceeding under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation law or statute of any jurisdiction, whether now or hereafter in effect; or (d) shall have had any such petition or application filed against it; or (e) by any act or omission shall indicate its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such petition, application or proceeding or order for relief or the appointment of a custodian, receiver or trustee for all or any substantial part of its property; or (f) shall suffer any such custodianship, receivership or trusteeship to continue undischarged for a period of sixty days or more. (f) One or more final judgments, decrees or orders for the payment of money in excess of $3,000,000 in the aggregate shall be rendered against NAI and such judgments, decrees or orders shall continue unsatisfied and in effect for a period of thirty consecutive days without NAI's having obtained an agreement (or after the expiration or termination of an agreement) of the Persons entitled to enforce such judgment, decrees or orders not to enforce the same pending negotiations with NAI concerning the satisfaction or other discharge of the same. (g) NAI shall breach the requirements of Paragraph 12, which by reference to Schedule 1 establishes certain financial covenants and other requirements. (h) as of the effective date of this Land Lease, any of the representations or warranties of NAI contained in subparagraphs 2(A) - (J) of the Closing Certificate shall be false or misleading in any material respect. 27 33 (i) NAI shall fail to pay the full amount of any Supplemental Payment required by the Purchase Agreement on the Designated Sale Date or shall fail to provide Collateral as and when due pursuant to the Pledge Agreement Documents. (j)NAI shall fail to comply with any term, provision or condition of the Pledge Agreements after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period set forth in the Pledge Agreement. 18. REMEDIES. (a) Basic Remedies. At any time after an Event of Default and after BNPLC has given any notice required by subparagraph 18(b), BNPLC shall be entitled at BNPLC's option (and without limiting BNPLC in the exercise of any other right or remedy BNPLC may have, and without any further demand or notice except as expressly described in this subparagraph 18(a)), to exercise any one or more of the following remedies: (i) By notice to NAI, BNPLC may terminate NAI's right to possession of the Property. A notice given in connection with unlawful detainer proceedings specifying a time within which to cure a default shall terminate NAI's right to possession if NAI fails to cure the default within the time specified in the notice. (ii) Upon termination of NAI's right to possession and without further demand or notice, BNPLC may re-enter the Property in any manner not prohibited by Applicable Law and take possession of all improvements, additions, alterations, equipment and fixtures thereon and remove any persons in possession thereof. Any property on the Land may be removed and stored in a warehouse or elsewhere at the expense and risk of and for the account of NAI. (iii) Upon termination of NAI's right to possession, this Land Lease shall terminate and BNPLC may recover from NAI: a) The worth at the time of award of the unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of termination; b) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that NAI proves could have been reasonably avoided; c) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the scheduled Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that NAI proves could be reasonably avoided; and d) Any other amount necessary to compensate BNPLC for all the detriment proximately caused by NAI's failure to perform NAI's obligations under this Land Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including the costs and expenses (including Attorneys' Fees, advertising costs and brokers' commissions) of recovering possession of the Property, removing persons or property therefrom, placing the Property in good order, condition, and repair, preparing and 28 34 altering the Property for reletting, all other costs and expenses of reletting, and any loss incurred by BNPLC as a result of NAI's failure to perform NAI's obligations under the other Operative Documents. The "WORTH AT THE TIME OF AWARD" of the amounts referred to in subparagraph 18(a)(iii)a and subparagraph 18(a)(iii)b) shall be computed by allowing interest at the Default Rate. The "WORTH AT THE TIME OF AWARD" of the amount referred to in subparagraph 18(a)(iii)c) shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%). e) Such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable California law. (iv) BNPLC shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in force even after lessee's breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). Accordingly, even if NAI has breached this Land Lease and abandoned the Property, this Land Lease shall continue in effect for so long as BNPLC does not terminate NAI's right to possession, and BNPLC may enforce all of BNPLC's rights and remedies under this Land Lease, including the right to recover the Rent as it becomes due under this Land Lease. NAI's right to possession shall not be deemed to have been terminated by BNPLC except pursuant to subparagraph 18(a)(i) hereof. The following shall not constitute a termination of NAI's right to possession: a) Acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to relet the Property; b) The appointment of a receiver upon the initiative of BNPLC to protect BNPLC's interest under this Land Lease; or c) Reasonable withholding of consent to an assignment or subletting, or terminating a subletting or assignment by NAI. (b) Notice Required So Long As the Purchase Option and NAI's Initial Remarketing Rights and Obligations Continue Under the Purchase Agreement. So long as NAI remains in possession of the Property and there has been no termination of the Purchase Option and NAI's Initial Remarketing Rights and Obligations as provided Paragraph 4 of the Purchase Agreement, BNPLC's right to exercise remedies provided in subparagraph 18(a) will be subject to the condition precedent that BNPLC shall have notified NAI, at a time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, of BNPLC's intent to exercise remedies provided in subparagraph 18(a) at least sixty days prior to exercising the remedies. The condition precedent is intended to provide NAI with an opportunity to exercise the Purchase Option or NAI's Initial Remarketing Rights and Obligations before losing possession of the Property pursuant to subparagraph 18(a). The condition precedent is not, however, intended to extend any period for curing an Event of Default. Accordingly, if an Event of Default has occurred, and regardless of whether any Event of Default is then continuing, BNPLC may proceed immediately to exercise remedies provided in subparagraph 18(a) at any time after the earlier of (i) sixty days after BNPLC has given such a notice to NAI, (ii) any date upon which NAI relinquishes possession 29 35 of the Property, or (iii) any termination of the Purchase Option and NAI's Initial Remarketing Rights and Obligations. (c) Enforceability. This Paragraph 18 shall be enforceable to the maximum extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, and the unenforceability of any provision in this Paragraph shall not render any other provision unenforceable. (d) Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to BNPLC is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and each and every such right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right or remedy given to BNPLC hereunder or now or hereafter existing in favor of BNPLC under Applicable Law or in equity. In addition to other remedies provided in this Land Lease, BNPLC shall be entitled, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law or in equity, to injunctive relief in case of the violation, or attempted or threatened violation, of any of the covenants, agreements, conditions or provisions of this Land Lease, or to a decree compelling performance of any of the other covenants, agreements, conditions or provisions of this Land Lease to be performed by NAI, or to any other remedy allowed to BNPLC at law or in equity. Nothing contained in this Land Lease shall limit or prejudice the right of BNPLC to prove for and obtain in proceedings for bankruptcy or insolvency of NAI by reason of the termination of this Land Lease, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, the damages are to be proved, whether or not the amount be greater, equal to, or less than the amount of the loss or damages referred to above. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall modify, limit or impair any of the rights and remedies of BNPLC under the Purchase Documents, and BNPLC shall not be required to give the sixty day notice described in subparagraph 18(b) as a condition precedent to any acceleration of the Designated Sale Date or to taking any action to enforce the Purchase Documents. 19. DEFAULT BY BNPLC. If BNPLC should default in the performance of any of its obligations under this Land Lease, BNPLC shall have the time reasonably required, but in no event less than thirty days, to cure such default after receipt of notice from NAI specifying such default and specifying what action NAI believes is necessary to cure the default. If NAI prevails in any litigation brought against BNPLC because of BNPLC's failure to cure a default within the time required by the preceding sentence, then NAI shall be entitled to an award against BNPLC for the monetary damages proximately caused to NAI by such default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, BNPLC's right to cure as provided in this Paragraph 19 will not in any event extend the time within which BNPLC must remove Liens Removable by BNPLC as required by Paragraph 20 beyond the Designated Sale Date. 30 36 20. QUIET ENJOYMENT. Provided NAI pays the Base Rent and all Additional Rent payable hereunder as and when due and payable and keeps and fulfills all of the terms, covenants, agreements and conditions to be performed by NAI hereunder, BNPLC shall not during the Term disturb NAI's peaceable and quiet enjoyment of the Property; however, such enjoyment shall be subject to the terms, provisions, covenants, agreements and conditions of this Land Lease, to Permitted Encumbrances, to Development Documents and to any other claims not constituting Liens Removable by BNPLC. If any Lien Removable by BNPLC is claimed against the Property, BNPLC will remove the Lien Removable by BNPLC promptly. Any breach by BNPLC of this Paragraph shall render BNPLC liable to NAI for any monetary damages proximately caused thereby, but as more specifically provided in subparagraph 4(b) above, no such breach shall entitle NAI to terminate this Land Lease or excuse NAI from its obligation to pay Rent. 21. SURRENDER UPON TERMINATION. Unless NAI or an Applicable Purchaser purchases or has purchased BNPLC's entire interest in the Property pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement and BNPLC's entire interest in the Improvements and other "Property" under (and as defined in) the Other Purchase Agreement, NAI shall, upon the termination of NAI's right to occupancy, surrender to BNPLC the Property, including Improvements constructed by NAI and fixtures and furnishings included in the Property, free of all Hazardous Substances (including Permitted Hazardous Substances) and tenancies and with all Improvements in substantially the same condition as of the date the same were initially completed, excepting only (i) ordinary wear and tear that occurs between the maintenance, repairs and replacements required by other provisions of this Land Lease or the Other Lease Agreement, and (ii) demolition, alterations and additions which are expressly permitted by the terms of this Land Lease or the Other Lease Agreement and which have been completed by NAI in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with all Applicable Laws. Any movable furniture or movable personal property belonging to NAI or any party claiming under NAI, if not removed at the time of such termination and if BNPLC shall so elect, shall be deemed abandoned and become the property of BNPLC without any payment or offset therefor. If BNPLC shall not so elect, BNPLC may remove such property from the Property and store it at NAI's risk and expense. 22. HOLDING OVER BY NAI. Should NAI not purchase BNPLC's right, title and interest in the Property as provided in the Purchase Agreement, but nonetheless continue to hold the Property after the termination of this Land Lease without BNPLC's consent, whether such termination occurs by lapse of time or otherwise, such holding over shall constitute and be construed as a tenancy from day to day only, at a daily Base Rent equal to: (i) Stipulated Loss Value on the day in question, times (ii) the Default Rate for such day; divided by (iii) three hundred and sixty; subject, however, to all of the terms, provisions, covenants and agreements on the part of NAI hereunder. No payments of money by NAI to BNPLC after the termination of this Land Lease shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term of this Land Lease and no extension of this Land Lease after the termination thereof shall be valid unless and until the same shall be reduced to writing and signed by both BNPLC and NAI. 31 37 23. INDEPENDENT OBLIGATIONS EVIDENCED BY THE OTHER OPERATIVE DOCUMENTS.

(iv) 58 COMMON DEFINITIONS AND PROVISIONS AGREEMENT (PHASE V - LAND) This Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement (Phase V - Land), by and between BNP LEASING CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("BNPLC"), and NETWORK APPLIANCE, INC., a California corporation ("NAI"), is dated as of March 1, 2000, the Effective Date. RECITALS Contemporaneously with the execution of this Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement (Phase V - Improvements), NAI is executing the Closing Certificate (as defined below) in favor of BNPLC, and BNPLC and NAI are executing the Land Lease (as defined below) and the Purchase Agreement (as defined below), both of which concern the Property (as defined below). Each of the Closing Certificate, the Land Lease and the Purchase Agreement (together with this Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement (Phase V - Land) and the Pledge Agreement [as defined below], the "OPERATIVE DOCUMENTS") are intended to create separate and independent obligations upon the parties thereto. However, NAI and BNPLC intend that all of the Operative Documents share certain consistent definitions and other miscellaneous provisions. To that end, the parties are executing this Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement (Phase II - Land) and incorporating it by reference into each of the other Operative Documents. AGREEMENTS ARTICLE I - LIST OF DEFINED TERMS UNLESS A CLEAR CONTRARY INTENTION APPEARS, THE FOLLOWING TERMS SHALL HAVE THE RESPECTIVE INDICATED MEANINGS AS USED HEREIN AND IN THE OTHER OPERATIVE DOCUMENTS: "ACTIVE NEGLIGENCE" of any Person (including BNPLC) means, and is limited to, the negligent conduct on the Property (and not mere omissions) by such Person or by others acting and authorized to act on such Person's behalf in a manner that proximately causes actual bodily injury or property damage for which NAI does not carry (and is not obligated by the Land Lease to carry) insurance. "ACTIVE NEGLIGENCE" shall not include (1) any negligent failure of BNPLC to act when the duty to act would not have been imposed but for BNPLC's status as owner of the Land, the Improvements or any interest in any other Property or as a party to the transactions described in the Land Lease or the other Operative Documents or in the Other Lease Agreement or the Other Purchase Agreement, (2) any negligent failure of any other Interested Party to act when the duty to act would not have been imposed but for such party's contractual or other relationship to BNPLC or participation or facilitation in any manner, directly or indirectly, of the transactions described in the Land Lease or other Operative Documents or in the Other Lease Agreement or Other Purchase Agreement, or (3) the exercise in a lawful manner by BNPLC (or any party lawfully claiming through or under BNPLC) of any right or remedy provided in or under Page 1 59 the Land Lease or the other Operative Documents or in the Other Lease Agreement or Other Purchase Agreement. "ADDITIONAL RENT" shall have the meaning assigned to it in subparagraph 3(d) of the Land Lease. "ADJUSTED EBIT" shall have the meaning assigned to it in Part I of Schedule 1 attached to the Land Lease and to the Pledge Agreement. "ADVANCE DATE" means the first Business Day of every calendar month, beginning with the first Business Day in April, 2000 and continuing regularly thereafter to and including the Base Rent Commencement Date. "AFFILIATE" of any Person means any other Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with such Person. For purposes of this definition, the term "control" when used with respect to any Person means the power to direct the management of policies of such Person, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise, and the terms "controlling" and "controlled" have meanings correlative to the foregoing. "APPLICABLE LAWS" means any or all of the following, to the extent applicable to NAI or the Property or the Land Lease or the other Operative Documents: restrictive covenants; zoning ordinances and building codes; flood disaster laws; health, safety and environmental laws and regulations; the Americans with Disabilities Act and other laws pertaining to disabled persons; and other laws, statutes, ordinances, rules, permits, regulations, orders, determinations and court decisions. "APPLICABLE PURCHASER" means any third party designated by NAI to purchase BNPLC's interest in the Property and in any Escrowed Proceeds as provided in the Purchase Agreement. "ATTORNEYS' FEES" means the expenses and reasonable fees of counsel to the parties incurring the same, excluding costs or expenses of in-house counsel (whether or not accounted for as general overhead or administrative expenses), but otherwise including printing, photostating, duplicating and other expenses, air freight charges, and fees billed for law clerks, paralegals, librarians and others not admitted to the bar but performing services under the supervision of an attorney. Such terms shall also include all such fees and expenses incurred with respect to appeals, arbitrations and bankruptcy proceedings, and whether or not any manner of proceeding is brought with respect to the matter for which such fees and expenses were incurred. "BANKING RULES CHANGE" means either: (1) the introduction of or any change in any law or regulation applicable to BNPLC, BNPLC's Parent or any other Participant, or in the generally accepted interpretation by the institutional lending community of any such law or regulation, or in the interpretation of any such law or regulation asserted by any regulator, court or other governmental authority (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage) or (2) the compliance by BNPLC, BNPLC's Parent or any other Participant with any new guideline or new request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law). Page 2 60 "BASE RATE" for any Base Rent Period means a rate equal to the higher of (1) the Prime Rate in effect on the first day of such period, or (2) the rate which is fifty basis points (50/100 of 1%) above the Fed Funds Rate for that period. "BASE RENT" means the rent payable by NAI pursuant to subparagraph 3(a) of the Land Lease. "BASE RENT COMMENCEMENT DATE" means the later of (1) the Base Rent Commencement Date (Building 4), or (2) the Base Rent Commencement Date (Building 5). If, contrary to the expectations of BNPLC and NAI as of the Effective Date, the Base Rent Commencement Date (Building 4) and the Base Rent Commencement Date (Building 5) occur on the same day, that day shall constitute the Base Rent Commencement Date. "BASE RENT COMMENCEMENT DATE (BUILDING 4)" means the earlier of (A) the first Business Day of the first calendar month to follow by twenty days or more the day upon which any Completion Notice (Building 4) or Completion Notice (Final) is given, or (B) the Base Rent Commencement Deadline. "BASE RENT COMMENCEMENT DATE (BUILDING 5)" means the earlier of (A) the first Business Day of the first calendar month to follow by twenty days or more the day upon which any Completion Notice (Final) is given, or (B) the Base Rent Commencement Deadline. "BASE RENT COMMENCEMENT DEADLINE" shall have the meaning assigned to it in the Other Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement. "BASE RENT DATE" means a date upon which Base Rent must be paid under the Land Lease, all of which dates shall be the first Business Day of a calendar month. Any first Business Day of a calendar month that falls after the Base Rent Commencement Date (Building 4) and on or before the Base Rent Commencement Date shall constitute a Base Rent Date. The first Base Rent Date after the Base Rent Commencement Date shall be determined as follows: a) If a LIBOR Period Election of one month is in effect on the Base Rent Commencement Date, then the first Business Day of the first calendar month following the Base Rent Commencement Date shall be the first Base Rent Date thereafter. b) If the LIBOR Period Election in effect on the Base Rent Commencement Date is three months or six months, then the first Business Day of the third calendar month following the Base Rent Commencement Date shall be the first Base Rent Date thereafter. Each successive Base Rent Date after the first Base Rent Date following the Base Rent Commencement Date shall be the first Business Day of the first or third calendar month following the calendar month which includes the preceding Base Rent Date, determined as follows: (1) If a LIBOR Period Election of one month is in effect on a Base Rent Date, then the first Business Day of the first calendar month following such Base Rent Date shall be the next following Base Rent Date. Page 3 61 (2) If a LIBOR Period Election of three months or six months is in effect on a Base Rent Date, then the first Business Day of the third calendar month following such Base Rent Date shall be the next following Base Rent Date. Thus, for example, if the Base Rent Commencement Date falls on the first Business Day of January, 2001 and a LIBOR Period Election of two months commences on the Base Rent Commencement Date, then the first Base Rent Date shall be the first Business Day of March, 2001. "BASE RENT PERIOD" means a period for which Base Rent must be paid under the Land Lease, each of which periods shall correspond to the LIBOR Period Election for such period. The first Base Rent Period shall begin on and include the Base Rent Commencement Date (Building 4), and each successive Base Rent Period shall begin on and include the Base Rent Date upon which the preceding Base Rent Period ends. Any Base Rent Period which begins prior to the Base Rent Commencement Date shall end on but not include the first Business Day of the first calendar month after such Base Rent Period begins. The Base Rent Period that begins on and includes the Base Rent Commencement Date, and each successive Base Rent Period thereafter, shall end on but not include the first or second Base Rent Date after the Base Rent Date upon which such period began, determined as follows: (1) If the LIBOR Period Election for a Base Rent Period is one month or three months, then such Base Rent Period shall end on the first Base Rent Date after the Base Rent Date upon which such period began. (2) If the LIBOR Period Election for a Base Rent Period is six months, then such Base Rent Period shall end on the second Base Rent Date after the Base Rent Date upon which such period began. The determination of Base Rent Periods can be illustrated by two examples: 1) If NAI makes a LIBOR Period Election of three months for a hypothetical Base Rent Period beginning on the first Business Day in January, 2002, then such Base Rent Period will end on but not include the first Base Rent Date after it begins; that is, such Base Rent Period will end on the first Business Day in April, 2002, the third calendar month after January, 2002. 2) If, however, NAI makes a LIBOR Period Election of six months for the hypothetical Base Rent Period beginning the first Business Day in January, 2002, then such Base Rent Period will end on but not include the second Base Rent Date after it begins; that is, the first Business Day in July, 2002. "BNPLC" means BNP Leasing Corporation, a Delaware corporation. "BNPLC'S PARENT" means BNPLC's Affiliate, Banque Nationale de Paris, a bank organized and existing under the laws of France and any successors of such bank. "BREAKAGE COSTS" means any and all costs, losses or expenses incurred or sustained by BNPLC's Parent (as a Participant or otherwise) or any other Participant, for which BNPLC's Parent or Page 4 62 the Participant shall request reimbursement from BNPLC, because of the resulting liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds: (1) used to make or maintain the Initial Funding Advance upon application of a Qualified Prepayment or upon any sale of the Property pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, if such application or sale occurs on any day other than an Advance Date or the last day of a Base Rent Period; or (2) used to make or maintain the Initial Funding Advance upon the acceleration of the end of any Base Rent Period pursuant subparagraph 3(c)(iii) of the Land Lease. Breakage Costs will include, for example, losses attributable to any decline in LIBOR as of the effective date of any application described in the clause (1) preceding, as compared to LIBOR used to determine the Effective Rate then in effect. Each determination by BNPLC's Parent or the applicable Participant of Breakage Costs shall, in the absence of clear and demonstrable error, be conclusive and binding upon NAI. "BREAK EVEN PRICE" shall have the meaning assigned to it in subparagraph 1(B)(1) of the Purchase Agreement. "BUSINESS DAY" means any day that is (1) not a Saturday, Sunday or day on which commercial banks are generally closed or required to be closed in New York City, New York or San Francisco, California, and (2) a day on which dealings in deposits of dollars are transacted in the London interbank market; provided that if such dealings are suspended indefinitely for any reason, "Business Day" shall mean any day described in clause (1). "CAPITAL ADEQUACY CHARGES" means any additional amounts BNPLC's Parent or any other Participant requests BNPLC to pay as compensation for an increase in required capital as provided in subparagraph 5(b)(ii) of the Land Lease. "CAPITAL LEASE" means any lease which has been or should be capitalized on the books of the lessee in accordance with GAAP or for federal income tax purposes. "CLOSING CERTIFICATE" means the Closing Certificate and Agreement dated as of March 1, 2000 executed by NAI in favor of BNPLC, as such Closing Certificate may be extended, supplemented, amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms. "CODE" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. "COLLATERAL" shall have the meaning assigned to it in the Pledge Agreement. "COLLATERAL PERCENTAGE" for each Base Rent Period means the Collateral Percentage for such period determined under (and as defined in) the Pledge Agreement; provided, however, for purposes of the Land Lease, the Collateral Percentage for any Base Rent Period shall not exceed a fraction; the numerator of which fraction shall equal the value (determined as provided in the Pledge Agreement) of Page 5 63 all Collateral (a) that is, on the first day of such period, held by the Deposit Takers under (and as defined in) the Pledge Agreement subject to a Qualifying Security Interest (as defined below), (b) that is free from claims or security interests held or asserted by any third party, and (c) that is not in excess of Stipulated Loss Value; and the denominator of which fraction shall equal the Stipulated Loss Value on the first day of such period. "QUALIFYING SECURITY INTEREST" means a first priority perfected security interest under the Pledge Agreement. "COMMON DEFINITIONS AND PROVISIONS AGREEMENT (PHASE V - LAND)" means this Agreement, which is incorporated by reference into each of the other Operative Documents. "COMPLETION NOTICE (BUILDING 4)" means a notice given by NAI to BNPLC as described in subparagraph 1(B) of the Construction Management Agreement, advising BNPLC when the renovation of the portion of the Improvements designated by NAI as "Building 4" are substantially complete and ready for occupancy by NAI. "COMPLETION NOTICE (FINAL)" means (1) a notice required by subparagraph 1(B) of the Construction Management Agreement from NAI to BNPLC, advising BNPLC when construction of the Construction Project is substantially complete, or (2) a notice permitted by subparagraph 6.(g) of the Improvements Lease from BNPLC to NAI, advising NAI after any Landlord's Election to Complete Construction when construction of the Construction Project is substantially complete or that BNPLC no longer intends to continue such construction. "CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT" means the Construction Management Agreement dated as of March 1, 2000 between BNPLC and NAI, as such Management Agreement may be extended, supplemented, amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms. "CONSTRUCTION PROJECT" means the new buildings or other substantial Improvements to be constructed, or the alteration of existing Improvements, as described generally in Exhibit B attached to the Construction Management Agreement. "CURRENT AS IS MARKET VALUE" means an amount equal to the fair market value of BNPLC's interest in the Property (or any applicable portion thereof), AS IS, WHERE IS AND WITH ALL FAULTS on the date in question. Whenever a determination of Current AS IS Market Value is required by the express terms of any Operative Document, it will be determined accordance with the following procedure unless BNPLC and NAI have otherwise agreed in writing upon a Current AS IS Market Value at that time: (a) BNPLC and NAI shall each, within ten days after written notice from either to the other, select an appraiser. If either BNPLC or NAI fails to select an appraiser within the required period, then the appraiser who has been timely selected shall conclusively determine the fair market value of the Property (or applicable portion thereof) in accordance with this definition within forty-five days after his or her selection. (b) Upon the selection of the two appraisers as provided above, such appraisers shall Page 6 64 proceed to determine the fair market value of BNPLC's interest in the Property (or applicable portion thereof) in accordance with this clause (v). Such appraisals shall be submitted in writing no later than forty-five days after selection of the second appraiser. If the fair market value as determined by such appraisers is identical, such sum shall be Current AS IS Market Value. If the fair market value indicated by the lower appraisal differs from the fair market value indicated by the higher appraisal by less than five percent (5%) of the fair market value indicated by the higher appraisal, then Current AS IS Market Value shall be the sum of the two appraisal figures divided by two (2). If either appraiser fails to timely submit his or her appraisal, the timely submitted appraisal shall be determinative of Current AS IS Market Value. (c) If the fair market value indicated by the lower appraisal differs from the fair market value indicated by the higher appraisal by more than five percent (5%) of the fair market value indicated by the higher appraisal, then the two appraisers previously selected shall select a third appraiser. The name of such appraiser shall be submitted at the same time the written appraisals are due. Such third appraiser shall then review the previously submitted appraisals and select the one that, in his professional opinion, more closely reflects the fair market value of BNPLC's interest in the Property (or applicable portion thereof), such selection to be submitted in writing no later than ten days after selection of the third appraiser. Such selection shall be determinative of Current AS IS Market Value. (d) In making any such determination of fair market value, the appraisers shall assume that any improvements then located on the Property (or applicable portion thereof) or under construction thereon constitute the highest and best use, and that neither the Land Lease nor the Purchase Agreement add any value to the Property. Each appraiser selected hereunder shall be an independent MAI-designated appraiser with not less than ten years' experience in commercial real estate appraisal in Sunnyvale, California and surrounding areas. "DEBT" of any Person means (without duplication of any item): (a) indebtedness of such Person for borrowed money; (b) indebtedness of such Person for the deferred purchase price of property or services (except trade payables and accrued expenses constituting current liabilities in the ordinary course of business); (c) the face amount of any outstanding letters of credit issued for the account of such Person; (d) obligations of such Person arising under acceptance facilities; (e) guaranties, endorsements (other than for collection in the ordinary course of business) and other contingent obligations of such Person to purchase, to provide funds for payment, to provide funds to invest in any Person, or otherwise to assure a creditor against loss; (f) obligations of others secured by any Lien on property of such Person; (g) obligations of such Person as lessee under Capital Leases; and (h) the obligations of such Person, contingent or otherwise, under any lease of property or related documents (including a separate purchase agreement) which provide that such Person or any of its Affiliates must purchase or cause another Person to purchase any interest in the leased property and thereby guarantee a minimum residual value of the leased property to the lessor. For purposes of this definition, the amount of the obligations described in clause (h) of the preceding sentence with respect to any lease classified Page 7 65 according to GAAP as an "operating lease," shall equal the sum of (1) the present value of rentals and other minimum lease payments required in connection with such lease [calculated in accordance with SFAS 13 and other GAAP relevant to the determination of the whether such lease must be accounted for as an operating lease or capital lease], plus (2) the fair value of the property covered by the lease; provided, however, that such amount shall not exceed the price, as of the date a determination of Debt is required hereunder, for which the lessee can purchase the leased property pursuant to any valid ongoing purchase option if, upon such a purchase, the lessee shall be excused from paying rentals or other minimum lease payments that would otherwise accrue after the purchase. "DEFAULT" means any event which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would (if not cured within any applicable cure period) constitute an Event of Default. "DEFAULT RATE" means, for any period prior to the Designated Sale Date, a floating per annum rate equal to two percent (2%) above the Prime Rate, and for any period commencing on or after the Designated Sale Date, Default Rate shall mean a floating per annum rate equal to five percent (5%) above the Prime Rate. However, in no event will the "Default Rate" at any time exceed the maximum interest rate permitted by law. "DEFAULTING PARTICIPANT" shall have the meaning assigned to it in Section 1 of the Participation Agreement. "DEPOSIT TAKER" shall have the meaning assigned to it in the Pledge Agreement. "DEPOSIT TAKER LOSSES" shall have the meaning assigned to it in the Pledge Agreement. "DESIGNATED SALE DATE" means the earlier of: (1) the first Business Day of March, 2005; or (2) any Business Day designated as such in an irrevocable, unconditional notice given by NAI to BNPLC; provided, that to be effective for purposes of this definition, any such notice from NAI to BNPLC must designate a Business Day that is more than thirty days after the date of such notice; and provided, further, to be effective for purposes of this definition, the notice must include an express, unconditional, unequivocal and irrevocable acknowledgment by NAI that because of NAI's election to accelerate the Designated Sale Date, the Maximum Remarketing Obligation will equal the Break Even Price under the Purchase Agreement; or (3) any Business Day designated as such in a notice given by BNPLC to NAI after the effective date of any termination of the Construction Management Agreement as provided in subparagraphs 5(D) or 5(E) thereof; provided, that to be effective for purposes of this definition, any such notice from BNPLC to NAI must designate a Business Day that is more than thirty days after the date of such notice; or (4) [intentionally deleted]; or Page 8 66 (5) any Business Day designated as such in a notice given by BNPLC to NAI when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided, that to be effective for purposes of this definition, any such notice from BNPLC to NAI must designate a Business Day that is more than thirty days after the date of such notice. "DEVELOPMENT DOCUMENTS" means the contracts, ordinances and other documents described in Exhibit C attached to the Closing Certificate, as the same may be modified from time to time in accordance with the Land Lease and the Closing Certificate, and any applications, permits or certificates concerning or affecting the use or development of the Property that may be submitted, issued or executed from time to time as contemplated in such contracts, ordinances and other documents or that BNPLC may hereafter execute, approve or consent to at the request of NAI. "DIRECT PAYMENTS TO PARTICIPANTS" means the amounts paid or required to be paid directly to Participants on the Designated Sale Date as provided in Section 6.2 of the Pledge Agreement at the direction of and for NAI by the collateral agent appointed pursuant to the Pledge Agreement from all or any part of the Collateral described therein. "EFFECTIVE DATE" means March 1, 2000. "EFFECTIVE RATE" means for each Base Rent Period, the per annum rate determined by dividing (A) LIBOR for such Base Rent Period, as the case may be, by (B) one hundred percent (100%) minus the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage for such Base Rent Period. If LIBOR or the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage changes from Base Rent Period to Base Rent Period, then the Effective Rate shall be automatically increased or decreased as of the date of such change, as the case may be, without prior notice to NAI. If for any reason BNPLC determines that it is impossible or unreasonably difficult to determine the Effective Rate with respect to a given Base Rent Period in accordance with the foregoing, then the "EFFECTIVE RATE" for that Base Rent Period shall equal any published index or per annum interest rate determined in good faith by BNPLC's Parent to be comparable to LIBOR at the beginning of the first day of that period. A comparable interest rate might be, for example, the then existing yield on short term United States Treasury obligations (as compiled by and published in the then most recently published United States Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15(519) or its successor publication), plus or minus a fixed adjustment based on BNPLC's Parent's comparison of past eurodollar market rates to past yields on such Treasury obligations. Any determination by BNPLC of the Effective Rate under this definition shall, in the absence of clear and demonstrable error, be conclusive and binding upon NAI. "ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS" means any and all existing and future Applicable Laws pertaining to safety, health or the environment, or to Hazardous Substances or Hazardous Substance Activities, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (as amended, "CERCLA"), and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended by the Used Oil Recycling Act of 1980, the Solid Waste Disposal Act Amendments of 1980, and the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (as amended, "RCRA"). Page 9 67 "ENVIRONMENTAL CUTOFF DATE" means the later of the dates upon which (i) the Land Lease terminates, or (ii) NAI surrenders possession and control of the Property and ceases to have interest in the Land or Improvements or rights with respect thereto under any of the Operative Documents. "ENVIRONMENTAL LOSSES" means Losses suffered or incurred by BNPLC or any other Interested Party, directly or indirectly, relating to or arising out of, based on or as a result of any of the following: (i) any Hazardous Substance Activity on or prior to the Environmental Cutoff Date; (ii) any violation on or prior to the Environmental Cutoff Date of any applicable Environmental Laws relating to the Property or to the ownership, use, occupancy or operation thereof; (iii) any investigation, inquiry, order, hearing, action, or other proceeding by or before any governmental or quasi-governmental agency or authority in connection with any Hazardous Substance Activity that occurs or is alleged to have occurred on or prior to the Environmental Cutoff Date; or (iv) any claim, demand, cause of action or investigation, or any action or other proceeding, whether meritorious or not, brought or asserted against any Interested Party which directly or indirectly relates to, arises from, is based on, or results from any of the matters described in clauses (i), (ii), or (iii) of this definition or any allegation of any such matters. For purposes of determining whether Losses constitute "Environmental Losses," as the term is used in the Land Lease, any actual or alleged Hazardous Substance Activity or violation of Environmental Laws relating to the Property will be presumed to have occurred prior to the Environmental Cutoff Date unless NAI establishes by clear and convincing evidence to the contrary that the relevant Hazardous Substance Activity or violation of Environmental Laws did not occur or commence prior to the Environmental Cutoff Date.

To the extent that BNPLC does not itself use the entire Initial Funding Advance to pay Transaction Expenses incurred by BNPLC, the remainder thereof will be advanced to NAI, with the understanding that NAI shall use any such amount advanced for one or more of the following purposes: (1) the payment or reimbursement of Transaction Expenses incurred by NAI; (2) the maintenance of the Property; or (3) the payment of Rents next due. "INTERESTED PARTY" means each of (1) BNPLC, its Affiliates and its successors and assigns as to the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein, (2) BNPLC's Parent, and (3) any other Participants and their permitted successors and assigns under the Participation Agreement; provided, however, none of the following shall constitute an Interested Party: (a) any Person to whom BNPLC may transfer an interest in the Property by a conveyance that is not a Permitted Transfer and others that cannot lawfully claim an interest in the Property except through or under such a transfer by BNPLC, (b) NAI or any Person that cannot lawfully claim an interest in the Property except through or under a conveyance from NAI, or (c) any Applicable Purchaser under the Purchase Agreement and any Person that cannot lawfully claim an interest in the Property except through or under a conveyance from such Applicable Purchaser.

For example, an Event of Default under subparagraph 17(e) of the Land Lease resulting solely from a failure of NAI to "generally" pay its debts as such debts become due (in contrast to a failure of NAI to pay Rent to BNPLC as it becomes due under the Land Lease) would constitute an Issue 97-1 Non-performance-related Subjective Event of Default. In no event, however, will the term "Issue 97-1 Non-performance-related Subjective Event of Default" include an Event of Default resulting from (1) a failure of NAI to make any payment required to BNPLC under the Operative Documents, (2) a breach by NAI of the provisions set forth in Schedule 1 attached to the Land Lease (which set forth financial covenants), (3) any failure of NAI to use, maintain and insure the Property in accordance with the requirements of the Land Lease, or (4) any failure of NAI to pay the full amount of any Supplemental Payment on the Designated Sale Date as required by the Purchase Agreement. Except as provided in subparagraph 1(A)(2)(c)(i) of the Purchase Agreement, the characterization of any Event of Default as an Issue 97-1 Non-performance-related Subjective Event of Default will not affect the rights or remedies available to BNPLC because of the Event of Default. "LAND" means the land covered by the land described in Exhibit A attached to the Closing Certificate, the Land Lease and the Purchase Agreement. "LAND LEASE" means the Lease Agreement (Phase V - Land") dated as of March 1, 2000 between BNPLC, as landlord, and NAI, as tenant, pursuant to which NAI has agreed to lease BNPLC's interest in the Property, as such Lease Agreement may be extended, supplemented, amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms. Page 14 72 "LIBOR" means, for purposes of determining the Effective Rate for each Base Rent Period, the rate determined by BNPLC's Parent to be the average rate of interest per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16 of 1%) of the rates at which deposits of dollars are offered or available to BNPLC's Parent in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the second Business Day preceding the first day of such period. BNPLC shall instruct BNPLC's Parent to consider deposits, for purposes of making the determination described in the preceding sentence, that are offered: (i) for delivery on the first day of such Base Rent Period, as the case may be, (ii) in an amount equal or comparable to the total (projected on the applicable date of determination by BNPLC's Parent) Stipulated Loss Value on the first day of such period, and (iii) for a time equal or comparable to the length of such period. If BNPLC's Parent so chooses, it may determine LIBOR for any period by reference to the rate reported by the British Banker's Association on Page 3750 of the Telerate Service at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the second Business Day preceding the first day of such period. If for any reason BNPLC's Parent determines that it is impossible or unreasonably difficult to determine LIBOR with respect to a given Base Rent Period in accordance with the foregoing, or if BNPLC's Parent shall determine that it is unlawful (or any central bank or governmental authority shall assert that it is unlawful) for BNPLC, BNPLC's Parent or any Participant to provide or maintain the Initial Funding Advance during any Base Rent Period for which Base Rent is computed by reference to LIBOR, then "LIBOR" for that period shall equal the Base Rate for that period. All determinations of LIBOR by BNPLC's Parent shall, in the absence of clear and demonstrable error, be binding and conclusive upon NAI. "LIBOR PERIOD ELECTION" for any Base Rent Period means a period of one month, three months or six months as designated by NAI at least five Business Days prior to the commencement of such Base Rent Period by a notice given to BNPLC in the form of Exhibit C attached to the Land Lease. (For purposes of the Land Lease a LIBOR Period Election for any Base Rent Period shall also be considered the LIBOR Period Election in effect on the Base Rent Date, or Base Rent Commencement Date, upon which such Base Rent Period begins.) Any LIBOR Period Election so designated by NAI shall remain in effect for the entire Base Rent Period specified in NAI's notice to BNPLC (provided such Base Rent Period commences at least ten Business Days after BNPLC's receipt of the notice) and for all subsequent Base Rent Periods until a new designation becomes effective in accordance with the provisions set forth in this definition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however: (1) NAI shall not be entitled to designate a LIBOR Period Election that would cause a Base Rent Period to extend beyond the end of the scheduled Term; (2) changes in the LIBOR Period Election shall become effective only upon the commencement of a new Base Rent Period; (3) for each Base Rent Period that commences prior the Base Rent Commencement Date or that occurs within any Mandatory Collateral Period, the LIBOR Period Election shall be one month; (4) no LIBOR Period Election designated by NAI hereunder shall be different than the LIBOR Period Election specified under (and as defined in) the Other Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement; and (5) if NAI fails to make a LIBOR Period Election consistent with the foregoing requirements for any Base Rent Period, or if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the third Business Day preceding the commencement of any Base Rent Period, the LIBOR Period Election for such Base Rent Period shall be deemed to be one month.

"QUALIFIED PREPAYMENTS" means any payments received by BNPLC from time to time during the Term (1) under any property insurance policy as a result of damage to the Property, (2) as compensation for any restriction placed upon the use or development of the Property or for the condemnation of the Property or any portion thereof, (3) because of any judgment, decree or award for Page 20 78 injury or damage to the Property or (4) under any title insurance policy or otherwise as a result of any title defect or claimed title defect with respect to the Property; provided, however, that (x) in determining the amount of "Qualified Prepayments", there shall be deducted all expenses and costs of every kind, type and nature (including taxes, Breakage Costs and Attorneys' Fees) incurred by BNPLC with respect to the collection or application of such payments, (y) "Qualified Prepayments" shall not include any payment to BNPLC by a Participant or an Affiliate of BNPLC that is made to compensate BNPLC for the Participant's or Affiliate's share of any Losses BNPLC may incur as a result of any of the events described in the preceding clauses (1) through (4) and (z) "Qualified Prepayments" shall not include any payments received by BNPLC that BNPLC has paid or is obligated to pay to NAI for the restoration or repair of the Property or that BNPLC is holding as Escrowed Proceeds pursuant to Paragraph 10 of the Land Lease or any other provision of the Land Lease. For purposes of computing the total Qualified Prepayments (and other amounts dependent upon Qualified Prepayments, such as Stipulated Loss Value) paid to or received by BNPLC as of any date, payments described in the preceding clauses (1) through (4) will be considered as Escrowed Proceeds, not Qualified Prepayments, until they are actually applied as Qualified Prepayments by BNPLC as provided in the Paragraph 10 of the Land Lease. "REAL PROPERTY" shall have the meaning assigned to it on page 1 of the Land Lease. "REMEDIAL WORK" means any investigation, monitoring, clean-up, containment, remediation, removal, payment of response costs, or restoration work and the preparation and implementation of any closure or other required remedial plans that any governmental agency or political subdivision requires or approves (or could reasonably be expected to require if it was aware of all relevant circumstances concerning the Property), whether by judicial order or otherwise, because of the presence of or suspected presence of Hazardous Substances in, on, under or about the Property or because of any prior Hazardous Substance Activity.

"SELLER" means Trinet Essential Facilities XII, Inc., a Maryland corporation. Page 21 79 "STIPULATED LOSS VALUE" as of any date means the amount equal to the sum of the Initial Funding Advance, minus all funds actually received by BNPLC and applied as Qualified Prepayments on or prior to such date. Under no circumstances will any payment of Base Rent reduce Stipulated Loss Value. "STIPULATED LOSS VALUE (BUILDING 4/LAND)" as of any date means the amount equal to the sum of portion of Stipulated Loss Value attributable to the portion of the Land under or used primarily to support the portion of the Improvements known as "Building 4" (in this definition, the "Building 4 Land") determined in accordance with the following provisions: (1) The Initial Funding Advance will be allocated between Stipulated Loss Value (Building 4/Land) and the remainder of Stipulated Loss Value as reasonably determined by NAI, subject to the approval of BNPLC, in a manner that fairly reflects the cost of the Building 4 Land under or used primarily to support Building 4 relative to the cost of all the Land. (2) The application of Qualified Prepayments, if any, will be allocated between Stipulated Loss Value (Building 4/Land) and the remainder of Stipulated Loss Value as determined by NAI, subject to the approval of BNPLC, in a manner that fairly reflects the impact upon the value of the Building 4 Land, relative to the value of all Land, resulting from the event or circumstances that generated such Qualified Prepayments. (For example, condemnation proceeds paid because of a taking of a portion of the Building 4 Land, and no other part of the Land, would, if applied as Qualified Prepayments, reduce Stipulated Loss Value (Building 4/Land) dollar for dollar.) (3) In any Completion Notice (Building 4), as defined in the Other Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement, NAI will specify its determination of Stipulated Loss Value (Building 4/Land), as well as NAI's determination of the Stipulated Loss Value (Building 4) under and as defined in the Other Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement, which determinations will be binding upon NAI for purposes of the Operative Documents unless BNPLC notifies NAI of BNPLC's disapproval of such determinations, in which case BNPLC shall itself be entitled to make such determinations. (4) In any event, if NAI has not notified BNPLC of NAI's determination of Stipulated Loss Value (Building 4/Land) at the time a determination thereof is needed under the Operative Documents, BNPLC shall itself be entitled to make such determination in goof faith on the basis of any information then available to BNPLC, and any such determination by BNPLC shall, in the absence of clear and demonstrable error, be binding and conclusive for purposes of the Operative Documents. "SUBSIDIARY" means, with respect to any Person, any Affiliate of which at least a majority of the securities or other ownership interests having ordinary voting power then exercisable for the election of directors or other persons performing similar functions are at the time owned directly or indirectly by such Person.

"TRANSACTION EXPENSES" means costs incurred in connection with the preparation and negotiation of the Operative Documents and related documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated therein. "UNFUNDED BENEFIT LIABILITIES" means, with respect to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan, the amount (if any) by which the present value of all benefit liabilities (within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(16) of ERISA) under the Plan or Multiemployer Plan exceeds the market value of all Plan or Multiemployer assets allocable to such benefit liabilities, as determined on the most recent valuation date of the Plan or Multiemployer Plan and in accordance with the provisions of ERISA for calculating the potential liability of NAI or any ERISA Affiliate of NAI under Title IV of ERISA. "UNSECURED SPREAD" means, for each period beginning on and including the Base Rent Commencement Date or a Base Rent Date and ending on but not including the next Base Rent Date, the amount established as described below in this definition on the date (in this definition, the "SPREAD TEST DATE") that is two Business Days prior to such period by reference to the ratio calculated by dividing (1) Adjusted EBIT for the then latest Rolling Four Quarters Period that ended prior to (and for which NAI has reported earnings as necessary to compute Adjusted EBIT) into (2) the total Debt of NAI and its Subsidiaries (determined on a consolidated basis) as of the end of such Rolling Four Quarters Period. The Unsecured Spread shall be established at the Level in the pricing grid below which corresponds to such ratio; provided, that: (a) for any period commencing on or prior to the first Business Day of April, 2000, the Unsecured Spread will be the amount indicated for Level III in the pricing grid below; (b) promptly after earnings are reported by NAI for the latest quarter in any Rolling Four Quarters Period, NAI must notify BNPLC of any resulting change in the Unsecured Spread under this definition, and no reduction in the Unsecured Spread from one period to the next will be effective for purposes of the Operative Documents unless, prior to the Spread Test Date for Page 23 81 the next period, NAI shall have provided BNPLC with a written notice setting forth and certifying the calculation under this definition that justifies the reduction; and (c) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this definition, on any date when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Unsecured Spread shall equal the Default Rate less the Effective Rate.
LEVELS RATIO OF TOTAL DEBT TO ADJUSTED EBIT UNSECURED SPREAD -------- ------------------------------------ ------------------ Level I less than 0.5 125.0 basis points Level II greater than or equal to 0.5, but 137.5 basis points less than 1.0 Level III greater than or equal to 1.0, but 150.0 basis points less than 1.5 Level IV greater than or equal to 1.5, but 175.0 basis points less than 2.0 Level V greater than or equal to 2.0 200.0 basis points
All determinations of the Unsecured Spread by BNPLC shall, in the absence of clear and demonstrable error, be binding and conclusive for purposes of the Land Lease. Further BNPLC may, but shall not be required, to rely on the determination of the Unsecured Spread set forth in any notice delivered by NAI as described above in clause (b) of this definition. "VOLUNTARY RETENTION OF THE PROPERTY" means an affirmative election made by BNPLC to keep the Property pursuant to, and under the circumstances described in, the second sentence of subparagraph 1(A)(2)(a) of the Purchase Agreement.

If any term or provision of any Operative Document or the application thereof shall to any extent be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid and unenforceable, the remainder of such document, or the application of such term or provision other than to the extent to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby. 3. NO MERGER. There shall be no merger of the Land Lease or of the leasehold estate created by the Land Lease with any other interest in the Property by reason of the fact that the same person may acquire or hold, directly or indirectly, the Land Lease or the leasehold estate created hereby and any other interest in the Property, unless all Persons with an interest in the Property that would be adversely affected by any such merger specifically agree in writing that such a merger shall occur. There shall be no merger of the Purchase Agreement or of the purchase options or obligations created by the Purchase Agreement with any other interest in the Property by reason of the fact that the same person may acquire or hold, directly or indirectly, the Land Lease or the leasehold estate created hereby and any other interest in the Property, unless all Persons with an interest in the Property that would be adversely affected by any such merger specifically agree in writing that such a merger shall occur. 4. NO IMPLIED WAIVER. The failure of BNPLC or NAI to insist at any time upon the strict performance of any covenant or agreement or to exercise any option, right, power or remedy contained in any Operative Document shall not be construed as a waiver or a relinquishment thereof for the future. The failure of Agent to insist at any time upon the strict performance of any covenant or agreement or to exercise any option, right, power or remedy contained in the Pledge Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver or a relinquishment thereof for the future. The waiver of or redress for any breach of any Page 26 84 Operative Document by any party thereto shall not prevent a similar subsequent act from constituting a violation. Any express waiver of any provision of any Operative Document shall affect only the term or condition specified in such waiver and only for the time and in the manner specifically stated therein. No waiver by any party to any Operative Document of any provision therein shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by the party to be bound by the waiver. A receipt by BNPLC of any Rent with knowledge of the breach by NAI of any covenant or agreement contained in the Land Lease or any other Operative Document shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. A receipt by Agent of any Collateral or other payment under the Pledge Agreement with knowledge of the breach by NAI of any covenant or agreement contained in the Pledge Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. 5. ENTIRE AND ONLY AGREEMENTS. The Operative Documents supersede any prior negotiations and agreements between BNPLC, Agent and NAI concerning the Property or the Collateral, and no amendment or modification of any Operative Document shall be binding or valid unless expressed in a writing executed by all parties to such Operative Document. 6. BINDING EFFECT. Except to the extent, if any, expressly provided to the contrary in any Operative Document with respect to assignments thereof, all of the covenants, agreements, terms and conditions to be observed and performed by the parties to the Operative Documents shall be applicable to and binding upon their respective successors and, to the extent assignment is permitted thereunder, their respective assigns. 7. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. Time is of the essence as to all obligations of NAI and BNPLC and all notices required of NAI and BNPLC under the Operative Documents. 8. GOVERNING LAW. Each Operative Document shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to conflict or choice of laws (subject, however, in the case of the Pledge Agreement to any contrary provisions of the "UCC," as defined in the Pledge Agreement). 9. PARAGRAPH HEADINGS. The paragraph and section headings contained in the Operative Documents are for convenience only and shall in no way enlarge or limit the scope or meaning of the various and several provisions thereof. 10. NEGOTIATED DOCUMENTS. All the parties to each Operative Document and their counsel have reviewed and revised or requested revisions to such Operative Document, and the usual rule of construction that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not apply to the construction or interpretation of any Operative Documents or any amendments thereof. 11. TERMS NOT EXPRESSLY DEFINED IN AN OPERATIVE DOCUMENT. As used in any Operative Document, a capitalized term that is not defined therein or in this Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement (Phase V - Land), but is defined in another Operative Document, shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the other Operative Document. 12. OTHER TERMS AND REFERENCES. Words of any gender used in each Operative Document shall be held and construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular number Page 27 85 shall be held to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. References in any Operative Document to Paragraphs, subparagraphs, Sections, subsections or other subdivisions shall refer to the corresponding Paragraphs, subparagraphs, Sections, subsections or subdivisions of that Operative Document, unless specific reference is made to another document or instrument. References in any Operative Document to any Schedule or Exhibit shall refer to the corresponding Schedule or Exhibit attached to that Operative Document, which shall be made a part thereof by such reference. All capitalized terms used in each Operative Document which refer to other documents shall be deemed to refer to such other documents as they may be renewed, extended, supplemented, amended or otherwise modified from time to time, provided such documents are not renewed, extended or modified in breach of any provision contained in the Operative Documents or, in the case of any other document to which BNPLC is a party or of which BNPLC is an intended beneficiary, without the consent of BNPLC. All accounting terms used but not specifically defined in any Operative Document shall be construed in accordance with GAAP. The words "this [Agreement]", "herein", "hereof", "hereby", "hereunder" and words of similar import when used in each Operative Document refer to that Operative Document as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The phrases "this Paragraph", "this subparagraph", "this Section", "this subsection" and similar phrases used in any operative document refer only to the Paragraph, subparagraph, Section, subsection or other subdivision described in which the phrase occurs. As used in the Operative Documents the word "or" is not exclusive. As used in the Operative Documents, the words "include", "including" and similar terms shall be construed as if followed by "without limitation to". 13. EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS. To facilitate execution, each Operative Document may be executed in as many identical counterparts as may be required. It shall not be necessary that the signature of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signature of all persons required to bind any party, appear on each counterpart. All counterparts, taken together, shall collectively constitute a single instrument. It shall not be necessary in making proof of any Operative Document to produce or account for more than a single counterpart containing the respective signatures of, or on behalf of, each of the parties hereto. Any signature page to any counterpart may be detached from such counterpart without impairing the legal effect of the signatures thereon and thereafter attached to another counterpart identical thereto except having attached to it additional signature pages. 14. NOT A PARTNERSHIP, ETC. NOTHING IN ANY OPERATIVE DOCUMENT IS INTENDED TO CREATE ANY PARTNERSHIP, JOINT VENTURE, OR OTHER JOINT ENTERPRISE BETWEEN BNPLC AND NAI. NEITHER THE EXECUTION OF ANY OPERATIVE DOCUMENT NOR THE ADMINISTRATION THEREOF OR OTHER DOCUMENTS REFERENCED HEREIN BY BNPLC, NOR ANY OTHER RIGHT, DUTY OR OBLIGATION OF BNPLC UNDER OR PURSUANT TO ANY OPERATIVE DOCUMENT IS INTENDED TO BE OR TO CREATE ANY FIDUCIARY OBLIGATIONS OF BNPLC TO NAI.
