(b)
The right to walk on all walkways and drive all types of vehicles on all roads on the Refinery;

2.8    Lessor Reserved Easements and Rights-of-Way.

In addition, Lessee shall promptly furnish or make available to Lessor or to third parties that are providing services to Lessor, at no additional cost to Lessor, all other easements and rights-of-way over and across the Premises that are reasonably necessary for Lessor to conduct its business at the Refinery. All such easements and rights-of-way shall be non-exclusive, on Lessee’s standard approved form for granting easements and rights-of-way to third parties, and none of these easements or rights-of-way shall unreasonably interfere with Lessee’s Operations on the Premises. All such easements and rights-of-way shall be recorded at the sole expense of Lessor. Upon completion of any construction, maintenance, replacement or removal operations Lessor shall repair and restore the rights-of-way used by Lessor, as near as reasonably practical to do so, to substantially the same condition that existed prior to such activity.

Lessor and Lessee shall mutually establish a procedure to enable the other Party and its employees, Invitees, licensees, agents and contractors reasonable access to the Premises and the Refinery, as applicable, to conduct Corrective Action as required by this Lease or by Legal Requirements and to carry out the intent of this Lease and the Contribution Agreement.

2.11    Third Party or Affiliate Easements on the Premises. Lessor shall not grant or assign to any third parties any new easements, rights-of-way, licenses or any similar real property interests on the Premises without the prior written consent of Lessee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

2.12    Appurtenant Easements. As of the Effective Date, to the extent Lessor has the legal right to do so, Lessor hereby leases to Lessee and Lessee leases from Lessor for the Term, at the rental and upon all of the conditions set forth herein, the Appurtenant Easements. To the extent that any Appurtenant Easements that would otherwise be leased under this Lease, are not capable of being leased to Lessee without the consent of, or waiver by, any other party thereto or any other Person, or if such lease or attempted lease would constitute a breach thereof or a violation of any Legal Requirement, this Lease shall not constitute a lease, or an attempted lease of any such Appurtenant Easements. Promptly after the Effective Date, and for a period of one (1) year, Lessor shall use reasonable commercial efforts to obtain a consent or waiver to a lease from Lessor to Lessee of each such Appurtenant Easement that, but for the second sentence of this Section, would be leased; provided, however, that Lessor shall not be required to pay or provide any consideration to obtain such consent or waiver. Lessee shall have the right to take any actions necessary to keep such Appurtenant Easements in effect, including obtaining such consent or waiver described above.

ARTICLE III
OPTION TO PURCHASE

3.1    Option. Lessor, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, hereby grants Lessee an exclusive and irrevocable option to purchase the Premises (the “Option”) for the price and upon the terms and conditions specified in this Article III. Lessee may exercise this Option at any time during the Term by giving Lessor written notice of exercise. Upon exercise of this Option by Lessee, Lessor shall be obligated to sell and convey the Premises to Lessee, and Lessee shall be obligated to purchase the Premises for the price and upon the terms and conditions specified in this Article III; provided, however, that Lessee shall not have the right to exercise this Option, if in the subjective good faith judgment of Lessor or its counsel, the sale of the Premises would result in Lessor or the Premises being in violation of any applicable permits or Legal Requirements. Lessor agrees to reasonably cooperate with Lessee (but at no cost or liability to Lessor) in Lessee’s efforts to structure lawful and commercially reasonable solutions to the above stated restriction on Lessee’s right to exercise the Option, if applicable.


3.2    Terms of Sale and Conveyance; Closing. If Lessee exercises the Option in accordance with Section 3.1 above, the following covenants and agreements shall apply:

8




attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein, warranting title thereto only against the claim of every person whomsoever claiming by, through or under Lessor, but not otherwise by, and (iii) free and clear of any liens created or caused on or after the Effective Date of this Lease by Lessor or its employees, agents or contractors without the consent of Lessee, but otherwise subject to all liens and encumbrances of record, and subject to taxes for the year in which such Closing occurs; and

4.1    Rent. Lessee shall pay to Lessor as rent for the Premises and the Appurtenant Easements for the Term the sum of $1,625.00 per year, payable in annual installments. The first installment shall be due and payable on March 16th, 2016. Each subsequent installment shall be due and payable on the anniversary date of the Effective Date. Rent shall be payable in lawful money of the United States to Lessor at the address stated herein or to such other Persons or at such other places as Lessor may designate in writing.

4.2    Rent Adjustment.

Rent shall not be reduced below the amount first due pursuant to Section 4.1.

4.3    Additional Rent.

(a)    This Lease is what is commonly called a “triple net lease”, it being understood that Lessor shall receive the rent set forth in Section 4.1 and Lessee shall pay any and all Property Taxes and other costs or expenses of any nature whatsoever to the extent related to Lessee’s lease or Lessee’s Operations of the Premises. All of such charges, costs and expenses shall constitute additional rent, and upon the failure of Lessee to pay any of such costs, charges or expenses, Lessor shall have the same rights and remedies as otherwise provided in this Lease for the failure of Lessee to pay rent.

(b)    If Lessee should default as defined in Article XI of this Lease in performing any term, covenant or condition of this Lease which involves the expenditure of money by Lessee to third parties, Lessor may (but shall not be obligated to) make such payment or, on behalf of Lessee, expend such sum as may be necessary to perform or fulfill such term, covenant or condition. Any sums so paid or expended by Lessor, with interest at the Late Payment Rate from the date of such payment or expenditure, shall be additional rent and shall be payable by Lessee on demand. No such payment or expenditure by Lessor shall be construed as a waiver of Lessee’s default or of Lessee’s obligation to perform any term, covenant or condition of this Lease nor shall it affect any other right or remedy of Lessor under this Lease.

(c)    No abatement, diminution or reduction in additional rent shall be claimed by or allowed to Lessee for any inconvenience or interruption, cessation, or loss of business caused directly or indirectly, by any present or future Legal Requirements, or by Force Majeure; and no diminution in the amount of the space used by Lessee caused by legally required changes in the construction, equipment, fixtures, operation or use of the Premises shall entitle Lessee to any abatement, diminution or reduction of additional rent required to be paid by Lessee under this Lease.

4.4    Late Payments. Any amounts not paid by one Party to the other Party when due under any provisions of this Lease shall bear interest at the Late Payment Rate from the date such payment is due until the date payment is made in full.

5.2    Acknowledgement of Potential Future Restrictions. Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that any Corrective Action may be conducted pursuant to governmental order or action, agreement with the governmental agencies or on a voluntary basis. Lessee acknowledges that any such activity may result in a restriction on the future use of the land beneath the Refinery, including the Premises, to non-residential, industrial or particular commercial uses, restriction on the use of groundwater, imposition of institutional controls, or imposition of engineering controls.

Lessor agrees that it will, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, cooperate with Lessee in supplying information and signing documentation as Lessee may reasonably request in order to satisfy its requirements under this Section 5.3, and Lessee shall indemnify and defend Lessor from and against any liability resulting from such cooperation with Lessee; provided, however, if Lessor’s action or inaction is the sole factor necessitating compliance with any Legal Requirements affecting the Premises, in which event Lessor shall pay the reasonable costs, charges and expenses connected with or arising out of such need to comply.

5.4    Indemnity for Compliance with Legal Requirements Other than Environmental Laws. Subject to the terms and provisions of Article VIII of the Contribution Agreement, Lessee shall indemnify, release, defend and hold Lessor harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, causes of action, proceedings, judgments, damages, liabilities, expenses and costs (including court courts and reasonable attorneys' fees) for its failure to comply with Legal Requirements at the Premises.

Subject to Lessor’s rights under Section 2.4(f) above, Lessee may add or remove all or any portion of the Improvements, or any part thereof, at any time and from time to time during the Term, irrespective of the manner or method of attachment of the same to the Premises.
        
(c)    The Parties agree that title to all Improvements at any time on the Premises have been severed by the agreement and intention of the Parties and shall remain severed from the Premises, shall be considered with respect to the interests of the Parties hereto as the personal property of Lessee and, even though attached to or affixed to or installed upon the Premises, shall not be considered to be fixtures or a part of the Premises.
        
6.4    Liens.
        
(a)    Except for services provided by Lessor to Lessee under the Shared Services Agreement, if any lien shall at any time be filed against the Premises by reason of any work, labor, services or materials done for, or supplied to, or claimed to have been done for, or supplied to, Lessee or anyone holding the Premises through or under Lessee, Lessee shall cause the same to be discharged of record or adequately bonded (unless otherwise secured to the reasonable satisfaction of Lessor) within forty-five (45) days after receipt of notice of the lien filing from Lessor. If Lessee shall fail to do so, then, Lessor may, but shall not be obligated to, procure the discharge of the same either by paying the amount claimed to be due, by deposit in a court of competent jurisdiction or by bonding, and Lessor may defend the prosecution of an action for the foreclosure of such lien by the lienor and pay the amount of the judgment, if any, in favor of the lienor with interest, costs and allowances. Any amount paid or deposited by Lessor for any such purpose, and all other reasonable expenses of Lessor, including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements, together with interest at the Late Payment Rate from the date paid or deposited, shall be additional rent and shall be paid by Lessee on demand. Lessee shall cause any such lien filed against the Assets or Improvements to be discharged prior to termination of this Lease. If requested by Lessor, Lessee shall post on behalf of Lessor, and keep posted on the Premises, any notices that Lessor may require for the protection of Lessor and of the Premises from any such lien.

(b)    Except for services provided by Lessee to Lessor under the Shared Services Agreement, if any lien shall at any time be filed against the Premises, by reason of any work, labor, services

12




or materials done for, or supplied to, or claimed to have been done for, or supplied to, Lessor or anyone holding the Refinery through or under Lessor, Lessor shall cause the same (at least as it pertains to the Premises) to be discharged of record or adequately bonded (unless otherwise secured to the reasonable satisfaction of Lessee) within forty-five (45) days after receipt of notice of the lien filing. If Lessor shall fail to do so, then, Lessee may, but shall not be obligated to, procure the discharge of the same, in whole or in part, either by paying all or a portion of the amount claimed to be due, by deposit in a court of competent jurisdiction or by bonding, and Lessee may defend the prosecution of an action for the foreclosure of such lien by the lienor and pay all or a portion of the amount of the judgment, if any, in favor of the lienor with interest, costs and allowances. Any amount paid or deposited by Lessee for any such purpose, and all other reasonable expenses of Lessee, including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements, together with interest at the Late Payment Rate from the date paid or deposited, shall be promptly paid by Lessor on demand. Lessor shall cause any such lien filed against the Assets or Improvements to be discharged prior to termination of this Lease.

(c)    Nothing in this Lease shall be deemed to be, or be construed in any way as constituting, the consent or request of Lessor, expressed or implied, by inference or otherwise, to any Person for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any materials for any Improvement of or to the Premises, or as giving Lessee any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the rendering of any services or the furnishing of any materials which might in any way give rise to the right to file any lien against Lessor’s interest in the Premises or giving Lessor any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the rendering of any services or the furnishing of any materials which might in any way give rise to the right to file any lien against Lessee’s interest in the Premises, including the Assets and Improvements located thereon.

14




APPLY TO ANY LOSS, DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH WHICH ARISES FROM THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS LEASE, AND WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CAUSE OR CAUSES THEREOF, INCLUDING STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY (EXPRESS OR IMPLIED), IMPERFECTION OF MATERIALS, CONDITION OF ANY SITE, OR THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNITEE (OR RELEASED PARTY), WHETHER SUCH NEGLIGENCE BE SOLE, JOINT OR CONCURRENT, ACTIVE OR PASSIVE, AND WHETHER THE CLAIM THEREFOR IS BASED ON COMMON LAW, CIVIL LAW, MARITIME LAW, STATUTE OR CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION BETWEEN THE INDEMNITEE AND A THIRD PARTY

(b)    NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, THE RELEASES OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNITIES CONTAINED IN SECTIONS 8.1 AND 8.2 SHALL NOT APPLY TO ANY CLAIM OR LIABILITY CAUSED BY THE WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE INDEMNIFIED OR RELEASED PARTY AND FURTHER SHALL NOT IN ANY EVENT APPLY TO AWARDS OR ASSESSMENTS OF PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

15




ARTICLE IX
PROPERTY TAXES
        
9.1    Payment of Property Taxes.

(a)    Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.1(b), so long as the Premises, Assets and Improvements are taxed as a separate parcel from the Refinery, Lessee will pay and discharge, as and when the same shall become due and payable without penalty, the Property Taxes with respect to any period during the Term in which they shall be or become due and payable and which:

(i)    shall be levied, assessed or imposed on or against the Premises, Assets or Improvements or any interest of Lessor or Lessee in the Premises, Assets or Improvements; or

(ii)    shall be or become liens on or against the Premises, Assets or Improvements or any interest of Lessor or Lessee in the Premises, Assets or Improvements;

(b)    Nothing in this Lease shall require Lessee to pay any estate, inheritance, succession or transfer tax of Lessor or any income, excess profits or revenue tax on the rent payable by Lessee under this Lease; provided, however, that if at any time during the Term the methods of taxation prevailing at the Effective Date shall be altered so that in lieu of, as a supplement to, or a substitute for the whole or part of any Property Tax which Lessee has agreed to pay pursuant to this Section 9.1, there shall be levied, assessed or imposed (i) a tax, assessment, levy imposition or charge, wholly or partially as a capital levy or otherwise, on the rents received under this Lease or (ii) a license fee measured by the rent payable by Lessee under this Lease, then Lessee shall pay the same.

(c)    Upon written request from Lessor, Lessee shall promptly furnish Lessor with satisfactory evidence that such Property Taxes have been paid. If any Property Taxes paid by Lessee shall cover any period of time prior to or after the expiration of the Term hereof, Lessee’s share of such Property Taxes shall be equitably pro-rated to cover only the period of time within the tax fiscal year during which this Lease shall be in effect, and Lessor shall reimburse Lessee to the extent required. If Lessee shall fail to pay any such Property Taxes by their due date, Lessor shall have the right to pay the same, in which case Lessee shall repay such amount to Lessor on demand, together with any interest charge actually incurred by Lessor as to such Property Taxes.

9.2    Joint Assessment. If the Premises, Assets and Improvements are not separately assessed, Lessor shall pay the Property Taxes, but Lessor shall forward a copy of the property tax bills to Lessee within five (5) business days of Lessor’s receipt of the tax bills and, subject to Section 9.3 below, Lessee shall reimburse Lessor within thirty (30) days of receipt of Lessor’s invoice, together with proof of payment thereof, an amount equal to Lessee’s pro-rata share of the Property Taxes for the parcel on which the Premises are located, as more particularly described in Exhibit A, Attachment A-2, for that tax year and, with the express understanding and agreement between Lessor and Lessee that there will be a subsequent true-up of Lessee’s ultimate liability for Lessee’s proportion of the Property Taxes in accordance with the subsequent terms of this Section 9.2, and that this Section 9.2 sets no precedent in the subsequent determination of the allocation. In the event the Premises, Assets and Improvements are subsequently separately assessed, the aforementioned true-up shall occur within thirty (30) days of receipt by either Party of such separate assessment. Lessee’s liability shall be an equitable proportion of the Property Taxes for the Premises, Assets and Improvements. Lessor and Lessee hereby agree that such proportion will be mutually agreed to by Lessor and Lessee, acting in good faith. In the event that Lessor and Lessee are unable to mutually agree upon such proportion, the Parties shall mutually engage a competent, independent appraiser, whose opinion

16




of proportion shall be binding upon both Parties. The apportionment set forth in this Section 9.2 is solely for the Parties’ benefit in estimating the liability for Property Taxes between them, and each Party hereby covenants and agrees to keep such allocation confidential and to not disclose, communicate or otherwise provide such apportionment at any time to any independent appraiser engaged under this Section 9.2 or in any court proceeding related thereto. The cost of engaging such appraiser shall be borne equally by Lessor and Lessee. These agreed upon allocated assessed values shall remain in effect until changed by the Parties, with either Party having the right to request a review of the allocation on an annual basis. Additionally, if the Premises, Assets or Improvements are not separately assessed, Lessor and Lessee also shall jointly attempt to have the Assessor separately assess the Premises, Assets and Improvements in such a way as to clearly and separately identify the value of the Premises, Assets and Improvements.

9.3    Contesting Real Property Tax. Lessor and Lessee shall each have the right to contest or review, with due diligence and in good faith, the amount or validity of any Property Taxes associated with the Premises, Assets and Improvements, but only with the knowledge and consent of the other Party, it being the express intent of the Parties that they shall work together in cooperation with each other with any such contest or review. For Property Taxes that pertain to the years 2016 and beyond, Lessee shall have the right to contest or review, with due diligence and in good faith, the amount or validity of any Property Taxes associated with the Premises, Assets or Improvements by appropriate legal proceedings provided that if the contested Property Tax is not paid before the start of legal proceedings, then before instituting any proceedings Lessee shall furnish to Lessor a surety company bond, cash deposit or other security mutually agreed upon by Lessor and Lessee as reasonably satisfactory, as security for the payment of the Property Tax, in an amount sufficient to pay the Property Tax, that may be assessed against the Premises, Assets or Improvements in the legal proceedings. If the property valuation contested is jointly assessed, Lessee shall have a responsibility for surety bond only for that portion of valuation that constitutes the Premises, Assets or Improvements and in an amount determined by mutual consent of Lessor and Lessee. On termination of the legal proceedings or at any time when Lessor and Lessee shall reasonably deem the security to be insufficient for the purpose, Lessee shall, upon demand, deliver to Lessor additional security as is reasonably sufficient for the purpose, and upon failure of the Lessee to do so, the security originally deposited shall be applied to the payment, removal and discharge of the Property Tax and any interest, penalties, charges, and costs accruing in the legal proceedings and the balance, if any, shall be paid by Lessee. If the security shall be insufficient for this purpose, Lessee shall promptly pay over to Lessor an amount sufficient, together with the security originally deposited hereunder, to pay the same. In the event of any default by Lessee as defined in Article XI of this Lease, for failure to pay the Property Taxes, Lessor is authorized to use the security deposited under this Section 9.3 to apply on account of such default or to pay the Property Tax. The balance, if any, shall be paid to Lessee. Lessor agrees that it will, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, cooperate with Lessee in connection with Lessee’s contesting or reviewing any Property Taxes pursuant to this Section 9.3, provided that Lessor shall not be subject to any liability arising out of any such cooperation, including any liability for the payment of any Property Taxes, costs or expenses.

9.4    Other Taxes. Lessee shall pay, prior to delinquency, any franchise taxes, excise taxes, business and occupation taxes, gross sales taxes, gross receipt taxes, occupational license taxes and similar taxes that are assessed or levied on Lessee’s use or operation of the Premises.

17

10.3     Covenants Running With The Land. Subject to Section 10.1 above, all of the limitations, covenants, conditions, restrictions, rights, duties, powers and obligations created or which arise by reason of this Lease shall constitute covenants which shall run with the property burdened and benefited, and shall be binding on all Persons having any right, title or interest in the property burdened or any part thereof, their heirs, successors and assigns. By acceptance of a deed of conveyance or any other instrument granting an interest in property benefited or burdened by the interests or estates granted herein, each grantee or transferee, including mortgagees taking title by foreclosure, consents to and agrees to be so bound.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

16.1    Estoppel Certificate. Lessor and Lessee each agree that from time to time, upon not less than fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice from the other Party, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other Party a statement in writing certifying and stating (a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or if there have been modifications, that the Lease is in full force and effect as modified and stating such modifications, (b) the dates to which the rent and additional rent have been paid and the current amount of the rent and additional rent, (c) whether or not, to the best knowledge of the signer, the other Party is in default in keeping, observing or performing any term, covenant, or condition contained in this Lease and, if in default, specifying each such default, (d) whether the signing party currently has any claim against the other Party under this Lease and, if so, the nature and the dollar amount, if any, of such claim, (e) whether there exist any offsets or defenses against enforcement of any of the terms of this Lease upon the part of the signing party to be performed, and, if so, specifying the same, and (f) such further information with respect to this Lease as the other Party may reasonably request, it being intended that any statement delivered pursuant to this Section 16.1 shall be binding on the signing Party and may be relied upon by the other Party, any prospective purchaser of the Premises or any prospective mortgagee.
        
16.2    Severability. Every provision of this Lease is severable. If any term or provision hereof is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable for any reason by any duly constituted court, agency or tribunal, the legality, validity, or enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

16.3    Captions. The table of contents, section headings and other captions contained in this Lease are for reference purposes only and do not interpret, define or limit the scope, extent or intent of this Lease or any provision hereof.

16.4    Amendments. No change, amendment or modification of this Lease shall be valid or binding upon the Parties unless such change, amendment or modification shall be in writing and duly executed by both Parties.

16.5    Waivers. Any failure of either Party to enforce any of the provisions of this Lease or to require compliance with any of its terms at any time during the Term of this Lease, shall in no way affect the validity of this Lease, or any part hereof, and shall not be deemed a waiver of any of the rights of such Party thereafter to enforce any and each such provision or of any subsequent breach by the other Party of the same or any other provision. Each Party’s consent to or approval of any act shall not be deemed to render

22




unnecessary the obtaining of such Party’s consent to or approval of any subsequent act by the other Party. The acceptance of rent hereunder by Lessor shall not be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any provision hereof, other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular rent so accepted, regardless of Lessor’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent. Any consent or approval given pursuant to this Lease shall be limited to its express terms and shall not otherwise increase the obligations of the Party giving such consent or approval or otherwise reduce the obligations of the Party receiving such consent or approval.

16.6    Recording. 1Contemporaneously with the execution of this Lease, Lessor and Lessee shall execute, acknowledge and record in the Official Records of Brazoria County, Texas, a Memorandum of Lease With Option to Purchase in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto and incorporated herein. Upon termination of this Lease, Lessee agrees to execute a memorandum acknowledging such termination. All recording costs shall be borne by Lessee.

This Section 16.7 is made expressly subject to Lessee’s rights set forth in this Lease to remove its Assets and Improvements from the Premises, to restore the surface of the Premises and to perform any required environmental remediation under this Lease upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, and the exercise of such rights provided for under this Lease shall not be deemed to constitute a holdover under this Section 16.7. If Lessee remains in possession of the Premises or any part thereof after the expiration of the Term or the termination of this Lease without the express written consent of Lessor, which consent can be withheld by Lessor in its sole discretion, such occupancy shall be a tenancy from month to month at a rental rate to be determined at the time of said expiration or termination based on actual fair market value per month plus additional rent and all other charges payable hereunder, and upon all the terms hereof applicable to the month to month tenancy.

16.8    Cumulative Remedies. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at law or in equity.

16.9    Binding Effect; Choice of Law. This Lease shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and assigns. This Lease shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, including with respect to matters of construction, validity and performance, without giving effect to any choice of law rules that may direct the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

16.10    Subordination. This Lease shall be superior in interest to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or any other hypothecation for security now or hereafter placed upon the real property of which the Premises are a part and to any and all advances made on the security thereof and to all renewals, modifications, consolidation, replacements and extensions thereof.

16.11    Signs and Fences. Lessee shall be permitted to place any sign upon the Premises and/or erect a fence around all or any portion of the Premises without Lessor’s prior written consent, provided that any such sign or fence shall comply with all Legal Requirements. Lessee shall be permitted to place a sign or signs upon the Refinery only with the Lessor’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

16.12    No Broker. Lessor and Lessee each warrant and represent to the other that no broker was involved in the negotiation and/or consummation of this Lease. Lessor and Lessee each agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the other harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, costs, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or connected with a breach of the foregoing warranty and representation.

23





16.13    Records and Audit. Lessor shall maintain a true and correct set of records pertaining to any bills, statements or invoices sent to Lessee under this Lease and all transactions related thereto. Lessor further agrees to retain all such records for a period of not less than five (5) years after the date of such bill, statement or invoice. Any representative or representatives authorized by Lessee may audit, at its own cost and during reasonable business hours, any and all such records at any time or times during the Term of this Lease and during the five (5) year period following its termination or expiration. The foregoing obligations in this Section 16.13 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease.

16.14    Counterparts. This Lease may be signed in any number of counterparts and each counterpart shall represent a fully executed original as if signed by both Parties.
    
16.15    Confidentiality. During the Term of this Lease, it may become necessary or desirable, from time to time, for either Party to provide or disclose to the other Party non-public information that is either confidential or proprietary. The disclosing Party may orally request such information to be kept confidential if such information is not in a written format, and in such case shall identify and confirm such confidential information in writing to the other Party no later than fifteen (15) days after such disclosure. If the confidential or proprietary information is in a written format, the disclosing Party shall label such information as either confidential or proprietary. The other Party shall not reproduce, copy, use or disclose (except when required by Legal Requirements) any such information in whole or in part to a third party for any purpose without the consent of the disclosing Party. The other Party shall restrict the internal disclosure of any such confidential or proprietary information to only those employees, officers and directors who have a "need to know" such information, and shall restrict those individuals from disclosing, using or permitting the disclosure of such information. In the event the other Party is required by Legal Requirements to disclose any such confidential or proprietary information, the other Party shall cooperate with the disclosing Party to minimize the amount of such information furnished. At the specific request of the disclosing Party, the other Party shall endeavor to secure the agreement of the receiving Person to maintain specified portions of such information in confidence. In the case of any disclosure of any such confidential or proprietary information, whether or not such disclosure is permitted by this Section 16.15, the other Party shall promptly give written notice thereof to the disclosing Party.
        
16.16    Further Assurances. Each Party agrees to take or cause to be taken such further actions to execute, deliver and file all further documents and instruments, and to take any further action that may be reasonably necessary or requested in order to fully effectuate the purposes, terms, conditions and intent of this Lease.

16.17    Survival. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, the expiration or other termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the Parties of obligations that by their nature should survive such expiration or termination, whether or not specifically stated herein, including any indemnities, payment obligations, confidentiality, and audit rights.
