Item 1.01   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     As previously announced, on January 5, 2007, the Company secured financing of $27.25 million from Credit Suisse, International (“Credit Suisse”) to partially fund its previously announced expansion plans. To obtain this financing, on January 5, 2007, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch and Credit Suisse, International for the sale of (i) $10 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s Senior Subordinated Secured Notes due June 30, 2009 (the “Series A Notes”) to Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch, and (ii) $4 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 0.5% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes due June 30, 2009 (the “Series B Notes”) to Credit Suisse, International. Also, on January 5, 2007, the Company entered into a capital lease facility commitment letter (the “Lease Financing Commitment”), with Credit Suisse for lease financing in the amount of up to $13,250,000 (the “Lease Financing”) for certain specified properties. The Company is required to accrue a commitment fee of 550 basis points based on the available but unused portion under the Lease Financing Commitment beginning on January 1, 2007.
     On February 15, 2007, the Company completed part of such Lease Financing by causing a single-purpose entity formed and wholly-owned by the Company (the “Lessee”) to enter into a Participation Agreement (the “Participation Agreement”) with a single-purpose entity designated and structured by Credit Suisse (the “Lessor”) under the terms of which the Lessor acquired for approximately $4,400,000 (the “Purchase Price”) 30 acres of real property in Culpeper County, Virginia and leased this property to Lessee under the terms of a triple net lease (the “Lease”) under which Lessee agreed to bear all rights, obligations, and expenses related to the Property. The Lease expires on June 30, 2009. The Lessee is required under the Lease to pay rent to the Lessor in an amount equal to the Purchase Price of the property multiplied by three-month LIBOR plus 550 basis points per annum, which rate increases by an additional 100 basis points on January 1, 2009. In lieu of cash payments, at the Lessee’s option, it may satisfy these rent obligations each quarter by adding the rent accrued for such quarter to the Purchase Price of the property with corresponding increases in future rent payment obligations. The Company has guaranteed all of the Lessee’s payment and performance obligations under the Lease pursuant to the terms of a Guaranty dated as of February 15, 2007 (the “Guaranty”).
     Upon expiration (or early termination for any reason) of the term of the Lease, the Lessee is required to purchase the property from the Lessor or reimburse it to the extent the Lessor sells the property to a third party for less than the Purchase Price plus accrued and added interest. The Lessee may also elect to purchase the property at any time during the term of the lease. If the Lessee elects to exercise any such early buy-out option, the Company is required to offer to repurchase the Series A Notes at an offer price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest.
     The foregoing summary of the Lease Financing Commitment, the Participation Agreement, the Lease and the Guaranty is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the agreements, which are attached hereto or incorporated herein as Exhibits 10.46, 10.49, 10.50 and 10.51, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference together with a Lease Supplement, Memorandum of Lease Agreement and Remedies, which Lessee executed on February 15, 2007 to grant a leasehold mortgage in and to its interests in the Property as Lessee and Appendix I to Participation Agreement, Lease Agreement and Other Operative Documents — Definitions and Interpretation, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.52 and 10.53, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1
DEFINITIONS; INTERPRETATION
     Unless the context shall otherwise require, capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in Appendix I hereto for all purposes hereof and the rules of interpretation set forth in Appendix I hereto shall apply to this Agreement.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date (i) the Lessor has agreed to acquire the Leased Property, (ii) the Lessor shall lease the Leased Property to the Lessee, and the Lessee shall lease the Leased Property from the Lessor, under the Lease, and (iii) the Lessee shall record the Lease (or a memorandum thereof) and the other Operative Documents to be recorded as provided in this Agreement.
     SECTION 2.2 Funding. On the Closing Date, upon the Lessee’s satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3.1 hereof, the Lessor shall acquire the Leased Property and fund the initial amount of the Lease Balance in an aggregate amount not to exceed $4,431,811.99.
     SECTION 2.3 Nature of Transaction. It is the intent of the parties hereto, and the parties hereto expressly agree, that, as provided in Article XII of the Lease, for all purposes, including Lessee’s financial accounting purposes, commercial, real estate and regulatory law, bankruptcy (including the substantive law upon which bankruptcy proceedings are based) and federal income tax and state and local income, property and transfer tax law, UCC and all other purposes:

 


 

          (a) The Overall Transaction constitutes a financing transaction. The Overall Transaction preserves beneficial ownership in the Leased Property in the Lessee and the obligations of the Lessee to pay Basic Rent shall be treated as payments of principal and interest to the Lessor.
          (b) The Lessor holds title to the Leased Property as security for the Lessee’s obligations under the Operative Documents, and the Lease grants a lien and security interest in the Leased Property and the other collateral described therein for the benefit of the Lessor.
     Reference is made to Article XII of the Lease for the provisions thereof concerning the intent of the parties and the nature of the interest held by the Lessor in the Leased Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing and the provisions of Section 4.2 and Section 7.4 hereof, the Lessee acknowledges and agrees that neither the Lessor nor any Affiliates of the Lessor nor any other Person, has made any representations or warranties to the Lessee concerning the tax, financial, accounting or legal characteristics or treatment of the Operative Documents or any aspect of the Overall Transaction and that the Lessee has obtained and relied solely upon the advice of its own tax, accounting and legal advisors concerning the Operative Documents and the accounting, tax, financial and legal consequences of the transactions contemplated therein.
     SECTION 2.4 Amounts Due Under Lease. Anything in this Agreement or in any of the other Operative Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, it is the intention of the Lessee and the Lessor that (i) the Lessee shall be obligated, pursuant to the terms of the Lease, to pay Rent to the Lessor as and when due under the Lease, including payment of Basic Rent on each Rent Payment Date, (ii) if the Lessee elects the Purchase Option or becomes obligated to purchase the Leased Property under the Lease or any of the other Operative Documents, the principal amount of the Lease Balance then outstanding, all interest accrued thereon and all other obligations of the Lessee owing to the Lessor under the Operative Documents, shall be paid in full by the Lessee and (iii) upon an Event of Default resulting in an acceleration of the Lessee’s obligation to purchase the Leased Property under the Lease, the amounts then due and payable by the Lessee under the Lease shall include all amounts necessary to pay in full the Lease Balance, accrued interest and all other obligations of the Lessee under the Operative Documents. The foregoing notwithstanding, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the obligations of the Lessor hereunder and under the Lease and the other Operative Documents are limited as provided in Section 18.9 of the Lease.
     SECTION 2.5 Controlling Agreements. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any other Operative Document, this Agreement shall control.
     SECTION 2.6 Permitted Use of Lease Balance. The Lessee and the Guarantor acknowledge and agree that all amounts advanced by the Lessor on the Closing Date shall only be applied in payment of the purchase price and related costs incurred to acquire the Leased Property and, to the extent agreed to by the Lessor and the Lessee, Transaction Expenses approved by the Lessor, and all other amounts advanced by the Lessor as part of the Lease Balance shall be applied as provided in the Operative Documents.

The transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Operative Documents have not been entered into by the Lessee or the Guarantor in contemplation of its or their insolvency nor have such transactions been entered into with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud the equity holders or the creditors of the Lessee or the Guarantor. Neither the Lessee nor the Guarantor is, as of the date of this Agreement, “insolvent” as that term is defined in 11 U.S.C. § 101(34), nor will the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement render the Lessee or the Guarantor insolvent (giving effect to the fair valuation of its assets) or result in the Lessee or the Guarantor having unreasonably small capital for the conduct of its or their respective business.
          (n) Title to Collateral. The Lessee owns and will own good and marketable title to the Leased Property which is pledged as security for its obligations pursuant to the Operative Documents, free and clear of all Liens and encumbrances, except for Permitted Liens, and except that the Lessor holds record title to the Leased Property. The Lease Supplement creates a valid and enforceable Lien on the Leased Property and all other collateral covered thereby for the benefit of the Lessor, and, upon the filing of UCC financing statements and the Lease Supplement in the appropriate filing offices in the Commonwealth of Virginia, the Lessor will have a first priority perfected Lien on the Leased Property which is pledged as security for the Lessee’s obligations under the Operative Documents.

All information (other than information presented in financial statements) heretofore furnished by the Lessee and/or the Guarantor to the Lessor for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Operative Documents or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby is, and all such information hereafter furnished by the Lessee, and/or the Guarantor to the Lessor will be true, and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information is stated or certified, and such information does not and will not omit to state any information, the omission of which could cause such information to be false or misleading.
          (q) Litigation and Contingent Obligations. There is no litigation, arbitration, governmental investigation, proceeding or inquiry pending or, to the knowledge of the Lessee or the Guarantor, threatened against or affecting the Lessee or the Guarantor (including, without limitation, any such action involving Environmental Laws) which, in either case, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect, or could adversely affect its or their right to enter into the Operative Documents and the transactions

contemplated thereby or that challenges the validity or enforceability of the Operative Documents.
          (r) No Proceedings with Respect to Leased Property. There is no action, suit or proceeding (including any proceeding with respect to a Condemnation or under any Environmental Law) pending or, to the best of the Lessee’s and the Guarantor’s knowledge, threatened with respect to or affecting the Leased Property or which could adversely affect the development, occupancy, use, operation, title to, utility, useful life or value of the Leased Property or any portion thereof.
          (s) Intentionally Omitted.
          (t) Licenses, Approvals, Necessary Permits, etc. All licenses, approvals, authorizations, consents and permits applicable to the Lessee required for the construction, use or operation of the Leased Property, have, in each case, either been obtained from the appropriate Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction or from private parties, as the case may be, or will be obtained from the appropriate Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction or from private parties, as the case may be, as soon as the acquisition of that permit is necessary or appropriate and prior to commencing any such construction, use or operation for which such license, approval, authorization, consent or permit is required. To the best knowledge of the Lessee and Guarantor, the Leased Property does not include any cemetery, Native American burial ground or village or any other matter of historic or archaeological significance that would require the notification or consent of any state, local or federal agency or any third party (including, without limitation, any agency of the Commonwealth of Virginia) in connection with any excavation or construction thereon.
          (u) No Transfer Taxes. No sales, use, excise, transfer or other tax, fee or imposition shall result from the sale, transfer, lease or purchase of any portion of the Leased Property, except such taxes, fees or impositions that will have been paid in full as and when due.

Neither the Lessee nor Guarantor is in default in the payment or performance of any of its Material obligations or in the performance of any Material contract, agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its assets may be bound and which will continue to exist subsequent to the date hereof, which default could affect the Lessee’s right to enter into this Agreement or the other Operative Documents, the validity or

10


 

effectiveness thereof or the ability of Lessee or the Guarantor to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder or could have a Material Adverse Effect.
          (x) Representations Truthful. All representations and warranties of Lessee and the Guarantor in this Agreement and the other Operative Documents are true and correct and all covenants set forth therein will be performed and observed by the Lessee and the Guarantor.
          (y) No Broker. Except for Scheer Partners, no broker’s commission or finder’s fee relating to or in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or the other Operative Documents is due. The Lessee agrees to pay all Standby Fees to Lessor or its Affiliate, as applicable, as and when due.
     SECTION 4.2 Tax Treatment. Each of the Lessee and the Guarantor agrees that neither it nor any member of any affiliated group of which it is or may become a member (whether or not consolidated or combined returns are filed for such affiliated group for Federal, state or local income Tax purposes) will at any time take any action, directly or indirectly, or file any return or other document inconsistent with the intended income Tax treatment set forth in Section 2.3 hereof.

15


 

consisting of and including “Eurocurrency Liabilities” as defined in Regulation D of such Board of Governors), or shall impose on the Lessor or any Participant (or its funding office) or on the London interbank market any other condition or any tax, duty or other charge with respect to or otherwise affecting the maintenance of the Lease Balance on a LIBO Rate basis, and the Lessor or such Participant determines (in its sole and absolute discretion) that the rate of return on it or its parent’s capital as a consequence of the funding made by the Lessor or such Participant hereunder to fund its share of the Lease Balance is reduced to a level below that which the Lessor or such Participant or its parent could have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstances, or prevents or would prevent the Lessor or any Participant from being legally entitled to a complete exemption from withholding Taxes with respect to the Lease Balance, then, in any such case, upon written notification from time to time by the Lessor or such Participant to the Lessee, the Lessee shall, within five (5) Business Days following receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, pay to the Lessor or such Participant, as Supplemental Rent, additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Lessor or such Participant or its parent for such reduction in rate of return (on a Grossed-Up Basis). A statement of the Lessor or a Participant as to any such additional amount or amounts (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Lessee.

Such written notice (which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Lessee.

     SECTION 7.3 Proceedings in Respect of Claims. The obligations and liabilities of the Lessee (the “Indemnitor”), with respect to any Claims for which, if valid, the Indemnitor is obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 (“Indemnified Claims”), shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
          (a) Whenever an Indemnitee (for purposes of this Section 7.3, the word “Indemnitee” shall be deemed to include members of the Indemnitee Group) shall have received notice that an Indemnified Claim has been asserted or threatened against such Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Indemnitor of such Claim, together with supporting facts and data within the possession or knowledge of the Indemnitee related thereto, provided that the failure to deliver such notice shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnification obligations hereunder except to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the Indemnitor’s defense of that Claim. With respect to any amount that the Indemnitor is requested by an Indemnitee to pay by reason of Section 7.1 or 7.2, such Indemnitee shall, if so requested by the Indemnitor, and prior to any payment, submit such additional information to the Indemnitor as the Indemnitor may reasonably request and which is in the possession of such Indemnitee to substantiate properly the requested payment.
          (b) Indemnitor shall have the right to defend, at its expense, such Indemnified Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, provided, however, that the Indemnitor shall have no such right (i) unless the Indemnitor shall deliver to the relevant Indemnitee a written acknowledgment of the Indemnitor’s obligation to indemnify such Indemnitee with respect to such Claim; (ii) if any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (iii) if such Claim involves a possible imposition of any criminal liability or penalty or civil penalty on such Indemnitee; or (iv) if such proceedings will involve a material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of, or the creation of any Lien on the Leased Property or any part thereof unless the Indemnitor shall have provided security for the Indemnitor’s obligations under this Section with respect to such Claim reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Indemnitee with respect to such risk. The Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Indemnitor of any compromise or settlement proposal with respect to any such Claim and shall not unreasonably refuse to accept any such proposal if the same is acceptable to the Indemnitor. The Indemnitee may participate in a reasonable manner at its own expense and with its own counsel in any proceeding conducted by the Indemnitor in accordance with the foregoing. The Indemnitor shall not enter into any settlement or other compromise with respect to any Claim which is entitled to be indemnified under Section 7.1 or 7.2 without the prior written consent of the Lessor acting individually and on behalf of the affected Indemnitee. The Indemnitor, and each Indemnitee (at the expense of the Indemnitor) are and shall be bound to cooperate with each other in good faith in connection with the defense of any such action, suit or proceeding in providing any information and bear witness or give testimony which may be requested by counsel for any of such parties.
          (c) Upon payment in full of any Claim by the Indemnitor pursuant to Section 7.1 or 7.2 to or on behalf of an Indemnitee, the Indemnitor without any further action (but only to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and contractual agreements), shall be subrogated to any and all claims that such Indemnitee may have relating thereto (other than claims in respect of insurance policies maintained by such Indemnitee at its own expense) (subject to the provisions of this Section 7 and Section 8.6 of the Lease), and such Indemnitee shall execute such instruments of assignment and conveyance, evidence of claims and payment and such other documents,

21


 

instruments and agreements as may be necessary to preserve any such Claims and otherwise cooperate with the Indemnitor and give such further assurances as are necessary or advisable to enable the Indemnitor vigorously to pursue such Claims.
          (d) Any amount payable to an Indemnitee pursuant to Section 7.1 or 7.2 shall be paid to such Indemnitee promptly upon receipt of a written demand therefor from such Indemnitee.
          (e) If the Indemnitor fails to assume the defense of an Indemnified Claim within a reasonable time after receipt of written notice thereof from the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee will (upon delivering written notice to such effect to the Indemnitor) have the right to undertake, at the Indemnitor’s cost and expense, the defense, compromise or settlement of such Claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnitor, subject to the right of the Indemnitor to assume and control the defense of such Claim at any time prior to the settlement, compromise or final determination thereof, provided, however, that the Indemnitor shall have no such right (i) unless the Indemnitor shall deliver to the relevant Indemnitee a written acknowledgment of the Indemnitor’s obligation to indemnify such Indemnitee with respect to such Claim, (ii) if any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (iii) if such Claim involves a possible imposition of any criminal liability or penalty or civil penalty on such Indemnitee; or (iv) if such proceedings will involve a material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of, or the creation of any Lien on the Leased Property or any part thereof unless the Indemnitor shall have provided security for the Indemnitor’s obligations under this Section with respect to such Claim reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Indemnitee with respect to such risk. In the event the Indemnitee assumes the defense of any such Claim, the Indemnitee will reasonably cooperate with the Indemnitor in keeping the Indemnitor reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement.
     SECTION 7.4 General Tax Indemnity.
          (a) The Lessee shall pay on an After-Tax Basis, and on written demand shall indemnify and hold each Tax Indemnitee harmless from and against, any and all fees (including, without limitation, documentation, recording, license and registration fees), taxes (including, without limitation, income, gross receipts, franchise (including taxes based upon or measured by capital or net worth) sales, rental, use, turnover, value-added, property, excise and stamp taxes and all recapture and other payments in connection with any agreement relating to tax abatements granted in connection with the Leased Property), levies, imposts, duties, charges, assessments or withholdings of any nature whatsoever, together with any penalties, fines or interest thereon or additions thereto (any of the foregoing being referred to herein as “Taxes” and individually as a “Tax”) (for the purposes of this Section, the definition of “Taxes” excludes amounts imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against each Tax Indemnitee as the result of any prohibited transaction, within the meaning of Section 406 or 407 of ERISA or Section 4975(c) of the Code, arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Operative Document, as well as any penalties, fees or interest on, or additions to taxes, caused solely by the failure of any of the Tax Indemnitees to provide notice to the Lessee of the Lessee’s indemnity obligations hereunder) imposed on or with respect to any Tax Indemnitee, the Lessee, the Leased Property or any portion thereof or the Land, or any Lessee or user thereof, by the United States or by any state, local or foreign government or other taxing authority in connection with or in any way relating to

22


 

(i) the acquisition, financing, mortgaging, construction, preparation, installation, inspection, delivery, non-delivery, acceptance, rejection, purchase, ownership, possession, rental, lease, sublease, maintenance, repair, storage, transfer of title, redelivery, use, operation, condition, sale, condemnation, casualty, return or other application or disposition of all or any part of the Leased Property or the imposition of any Lien, other than a Lessor Lien (or incurrence of any liability to refund or pay over any amount as a result of any Lien, other than a Lessor Lien) thereon, (ii) Basic Rent or Supplemental Rent or the receipts or earnings arising from or received with respect to the Leased Property or any part thereof, or any interest therein or any applications or dispositions thereof, (iii) the Leased Property, the Land or any part thereof or any interest therein, (iv) all or any of the Operative Documents, any other documents contemplated thereby and any amendments and supplements thereto and (v) otherwise with respect to or in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents.
          (b) Section 7.4(a) shall not apply to:
          (i) Taxes on, based on, or measured by or with respect to, solely the net income of a Tax Indemnitee (including, without limitation, minimum Taxes, capital gains Taxes, Taxes on or measured by items of tax preference or alternative minimum Taxes) other than (A) any such Taxes that are, or are in the nature of, sales, use, license, rental, ad valorem or property Taxes, (B) withholding Taxes imposed by the United States or any state, local or foreign taxing authority on Rent or payments on or with respect to any other amounts payable by Lessee to Lessor under the Operative Documents, (C) any such Taxes to the extent that such tax would not have been imposed if on the Closing Date the Lessor had advanced funds to the Lessee in the form of a loan secured by the Leased Property in an amount equal to the Lease Balance, with Rent for such loan equal to the Basic Rent payable on each Rent Payment Date and a principal balance at the maturity of such loan in an amount equal to the Lease Balance at the end of the Lease Term, provided that nothing in this clause (i) shall be interpreted to prevent any payment from being made on an After-Tax Basis if otherwise required to be so made;
          (ii) Taxes on, based on, or in the nature of or measured by Taxes solely on: doing business, business privilege, capital, capital stock, net worth, or mercantile license or similar taxes other than (A) any such Taxes imposed on such Tax Indemnitee by any state or locality, net of any decrease in such taxes realized by such Tax Indemnitee, to the extent that such tax would not have been imposed if on the Closing Date the Lessor had advanced funds to the Lessee in the form of a loan secured by the Leased Property in an amount equal to the Lease Balance, with Rent for such loan equal to the Basic Rent attributable to the Lease Balance payable on each Rent Payment Date and a principal balance at the maturity of such loan in an amount equal to the Lease Balance at the end of the Lease Term or (B) any Taxes that are or are in the nature of sales, use, rental, license or property Taxes;
          (iii) Taxes that result from any act, event or omission, or are attributable to any period of time, that occurs after the discharge in full of the Lessee’s obligations to pay the Lease Balance, or any amount determined by reference thereto, and all other amounts due under the Operative Documents, unless such Taxes relate to acts, events or matters occurring prior to the earliest of such times or are imposed on or with

23


 

respect to any payments due under the Operative Documents after such expiration or discharge;
          (iv) Taxes imposed on a Tax Indemnitee that result from any voluntary sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition (other than any such sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition made at the request of the Lessee) by such Tax Indemnitee of any interest in the Leased Property or any part thereof, or any interest therein or any interest or obligation arising under the Operative Documents or from any sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of any interest in such Tax Indemnitee or any related Tax Indemnitee, it being understood that each of the following shall not be considered a voluntary sale: (A) any substitution, replacement or removal of any of the property by the Lessee shall not be treated as a voluntary action of any Tax Indemnitee, (B) any sale or transfer resulting from the exercise by the Lessee of any termination option, any purchase option or sale option, (C) any sale or transfer while a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Lease and (D) any sale or transfer resulting from the Lessor’s exercise of remedies under the Lease;
          (v) any Tax which is being contested in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.4(c), during the pendency of such contest, provided that payment of such Tax is not required during the pendency of such contest;
          (vi) any Tax that is imposed on a Tax Indemnitee solely as a result of such Tax Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct;
          (vii) any Tax that results from a Tax Indemnitee engaging, with respect to the Leased Property, in transactions prohibited by the Operative Documents; or
          (viii) any interest, penalties or additions to tax to the extent resulting in whole or in part from the failure of a Tax Indemnitee to file a return or pay any Tax that it is required to file or pay in a proper and timely manner, unless such failure (A) results from the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents in circumstances where the Lessee did not give timely notice to the Tax Indemnitee of such filing requirement that would have permitted a proper and timely filing of such return or (B) results from the failure of the Lessee to supply information necessary for the proper and timely filing of such return that was not in the possession of the Lessor at least twenty (20) Business Days before due or notifying the Tax Indemnitee that it is necessary to file a report, return or statement at least twenty (20) Business Days before the due date for filing.
          (c) If any Claim shall be made against any Tax Indemnitee or if any proceeding shall be commenced against any Tax Indemnitee (including a written notice of such proceeding) for any Taxes as to which the Lessee may have an indemnity obligation pursuant to this Section, or if any Tax Indemnitee shall determine that any Taxes as to which the Lessee may have an indemnity obligation pursuant to this Section may be payable, such Tax Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Lessee in writing, provided that the failure to deliver such notice shall not relieve the Lessee of its indemnification obligations hereunder. The Lessee shall not be responsible for the costs, interest, penalties or additions to taxes in the nature of penalties suffered

24


 

as a result of the failure of any of the Tax Indemnitees to notify the Lessee. The Lessee shall be entitled, at its expense, to participate in and to the extent that the Lessee desires to, assume and control the defense thereof; provided, however, that the Lessee shall not be entitled to assume and control the defense of any such action, suit or proceeding (but the Tax Indemnitee shall then contest any such action, suit or proceeding, at the sole cost and expense of the Lessee, on behalf of the Lessee) if and to the extent that (A) a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (B) such action, suit or proceeding involves matters which are unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents and if determined adversely could be materially detrimental to the interests of such Tax Indemnitee notwithstanding indemnification by the Lessee, (C) such action, suit or proceeding involves the federal or any state income tax liability of the Tax Indemnitee, (D) the Lessee fails to deliver to the Tax Indemnitee a written acknowledgement of the Lessee’s obligation to fully indemnify the Tax Indemnitee with respect to such action, suit or proceeding, or (E) if in the reasonable opinion of such Tax Indemnitee (i) such action, suit or proceeding involves a possible imposition of criminal liability or penalty or civil penalty on such Tax Indemnitee, or (ii) if such proceeding will involve a material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of, or the creation of any Lien on the Leased Property or any part thereof unless the Lessee shall have provided security for Lessee’s obligations under this Section with respect to such action, suit or proceeding reasonably satisfactory to the Tax Indemnitee with respect to such risk. If Lessee assumes and controls the defense of the proceeding, the Tax Indemnitee may participate in a reasonable manner at its own expense and with its own counsel in any proceeding conducted by the Lessee in accordance with the foregoing. Each Tax Indemnitee shall at the Lessee’s expense supply the Lessee with such information and documents reasonably requested by the Lessee as are necessary or advisable for the Lessee to participate in any action, suit or proceeding to the extent permitted by this Section. Unless a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no Tax Indemnitee shall enter into any settlement or other compromise with respect to any Claim which is entitled to be indemnified under this Section without the prior written consent of the Lessee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless such Tax Indemnitee waives its right to be indemnified under this Section with respect to such Claim. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (i) a Tax Indemnitee will not be required to contest (and the Lessee shall not be permitted to contest) a Claim with respect to the imposition of any Tax if such Tax Indemnitee shall waive its right to indemnification under this Section with respect to such Claim (and any related Claim with respect to other taxable years the contest of which is precluded as a result of such waiver) and (ii) no Tax Indemnitee shall be required to contest any Claim if the subject matter thereof shall be of a continuing nature and shall have previously been decided adversely, unless there has been a change in law which in the opinion of the Lessee’s counsel creates substantial authority for the success of such contest. Each Tax Indemnitee and the Lessee shall consult in good faith with each other regarding the conduct of such contest controlled by either. Lessee shall not settle any claims without the consent of the Tax Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
          (d) If (i) a Tax Indemnitee shall obtain a credit or refund of any Taxes paid by the Lessee pursuant to this Section or (ii) by reason of the incurrence or imposition of any Tax for which a Tax Indemnitee is indemnified hereunder or any payment made to or for the account of such Tax Indemnitee by the Lessee pursuant to this Section, such Tax Indemnitee at any time realizes a reduction in any Taxes for which the Lessee is not required to indemnify such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section, which reduction in Taxes was not taken into account in

25


 

computing such payment by the Lessee to or for the account of such Tax Indemnitee, then such Tax Indemnitee shall promptly pay to the Lessee the amount of such credit or refund, together with the amount of any interest received by such Tax Indemnitee on account of such credit or refund or an amount equal to such reduction in Taxes, as the case may be; provided, however, that no such payment shall be made so long as a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and provided, further, that the amount payable to the Lessee by any Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this subsection shall not at any time exceed the aggregate amount of all indemnity payments made by the Lessee under this Section to such Tax Indemnitee and all related Tax Indemnitees with respect to the Taxes which gave rise to a credit or refund or with respect to the Tax which gave rise to a reduction in Taxes less the amount of all prior payments made to the Lessee by such Tax Indemnitee and related Tax Indemnitees under this Section. The disallowance or reduction of any credit, refund or other tax savings with respect to which a Tax Indemnitee has made a payment to the Lessee under this subsection shall be treated as a Tax for which the Lessee is obligated to indemnify such Tax Indemnitee hereunder.
          (e) Any Tax indemnifiable under this Section shall be paid directly to the applicable taxing authority prior to delinquency if direct payment is practicable and permitted. If direct payment to the applicable taxing authority is not permitted or is otherwise not made, any amount payable to a Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section shall be paid within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written demand therefor from such Tax Indemnitee accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail the amount so payable. Any payments made pursuant to this Section shall be made directly to the Tax Indemnitee entitled thereto or the Lessee in immediately available funds at such bank or to such account as specified by the payee in written directions to the payor, or, if no such direction shall have been given, by check of the payor payable to the order of the payee by certified mail, postage prepaid at its Address as set forth in this Agreement. Upon the request of any Tax Indemnitee with respect to a Tax that the Lessee is required to pay, the Lessee shall furnish to such Tax Indemnitee the original or a certified copy of a receipt for the Lessee’s payment of such Tax or such other evidence of payment as is reasonably acceptable to such Tax Indemnitee.
          (f) If the Lessee knows of any report, return or statement required to be filed with respect to any Taxes that are subject to indemnification under this Section, the Lessee shall, if the Lessee is permitted by Applicable Law, timely file such report, return or statement (and, to the extent permitted by law, show ownership of the Leased Property in the Lessee); provided, however, that if the Lessee is not permitted by Applicable Law or does not have access to the information required to file any such report, return or statement, the Lessee will promptly so notify the appropriate Tax Indemnitee at least thirty (30) days before due or notify the Tax Indemnitee that it is necessary to file a report, return or statement at least thirty (30) days before the due date for filing, in which case Tax Indemnitee will timely file such report, return or statement. In any case in which the Tax Indemnitee will file any such report, return or statement, Lessee shall, upon written request of such Tax Indemnitee, provide such Tax Indemnitee with such information as is reasonably available or accessible to the Lessee. In any case in which the Lessee will file any such report, return or statement, each Tax Indemnitee shall, upon written request of the Lessee, provide the Lessee with such information as is reasonably requested and reasonably available to the Tax Indemnitee.

          (g) It is expressly understood and agreed that the indemnity provided for herein shall survive the expiration or termination of and shall be separate and independent from any remedy under the Lease or any other Operative Document.
     SECTION 7.5 Exculpation. Neither the Lessor nor any of its Affiliates has and shall have any liability or obligation whatsoever or howsoever in connection with the design, construction, completion or management of the Improvements and/or any Alterations and in no event shall the Lessor or any of its Affiliates be obligated to inspect the Improvements and/or any Alterations or all or any part of the Leased Property. Under no circumstances whatsoever shall the Lessor or any of its Affiliates be or become liable for the performance or default of any contractor or subcontractor, or for any failure to construct, complete, protect or insure the Improvements and/or any Alterations, or any part thereof, or for the payment of any cost or expense incurred in connection therewith, or for the performance or non-performance of any obligation of the Lessee to the Lessor or to any other Person, firm or entity without limitation. Nothing, including without limitation, any funding by the Lessor of the Lease Balance or acceptance of any document or instrument, shall be construed as a representation or warranty, express or implied, on the part of the Lessor or any of its Affiliates. Further, the Lessee shall be solely responsible for all aspects of the Lessee’s business and conduct in connection with the construction and completion of all Improvements and/or any Alterations.
     Neither the Lessor nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to supervise, inspect or inform the Lessee or any third party of any aspect of the work or construction of the Improvements and/or any Alterations or any other matter referred to above. Any inspection or review made by or on behalf of the Lessor shall be made for the purpose of determining whether or not the obligations of the Lessee under the Operative Documents are being properly discharged, and neither the Lessee, nor any third party shall be entitled to rely upon any such inspection or review.
     Neither the Lessor nor any of its Affiliates owes any duty of care to the Lessee or any other Person to protect against or inform the Lessee or any other Person of the existence of negligent, faulty, inadequate or defective design or construction of the Improvements or any other aspect of the Leased Property.
     SECTION 7.6 Role of Lessor. Any term or condition hereof or of any of the other Operative Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Lessor shall not have, and by its execution and acceptance of this Agreement, hereby expressly disclaims, any obligation or responsibility for the design, construction, installation, testing, management, conduct or operation of the Improvements or all or any part of the Leased Property or business and affairs of the Lessee, and any term or condition hereof, or of any of the other Operative Documents, permitting the Lessor to disburse funds, or to take or refrain from taking any action with respect to the Lessee or the Leased Property shall be deemed to be solely for the benefit of the Lessor and may not be relied upon by any other Person. Further, the Lessor shall not have, have not assumed and by its execution and acceptance of this Agreement hereby expressly disclaims, any liability or responsibility for the payment or performance of any indebtedness or obligation of the Lessee, and no term or condition hereof, or of any of the other Operative Documents, shall be construed otherwise.

     SECTION 7.7 Lessor’s Benefit. All conditions precedent to the Lessor’s acquisition of the Leased Property and funding of the Lease Balance or taking of any other action under the Operative Documents are imposed hereby solely for the benefit of the Lessor. No party other than the Lessor may require satisfaction of any such condition precedent. Any requirement of this Agreement and any requirement of any other Operative Document may be waived by the Lessor, in whole or in part, at any time. Any requirement herein or in any other Operative Document of submission of evidence to the Lessor of the existence or non-existence of a fact shall be deemed, also, to be a requirement that the fact shall exist or not exist, as the case may be, and without waiving any condition or obligation of the Lessee, the Lessor may at all times independently establish to its satisfaction such existence or non-existence.
SECTION 8

     SECTION 8.6 Parties in Interest. Except as expressly provided herein, none of the provisions of this Participation Agreement is intended for the benefit of any Person except the parties hereto, their successors and their permitted assigns.
     SECTION 8.7 Governing Law. This Participation Agreement shall in all respects be governed by the internal law of the State of New York as to all matters of construction, validity and performance, without regard to conflicts of law principles to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, except Title 14 of Article 5 of the New York General Obligations Law, except as to matters relating to the creation of liens and the exercise of remedies with respect to the leased Property, which shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state in which such Leased Property is located.
     SECTION 8.8 Liability of Lessor Limited. Recourse to the Lessor under this Agreement shall be limited as provided in Section 18.12 of the Lease.
     SECTION 8.9 Expenses.
          (a) Expenses of Lessor. The fees, expenses and disbursements (including counsel fees and the Standby Fee) of the Lessor in connection with the Operative Documents (including all costs associated with the release and termination of the Operative Documents in accordance with the terms thereof) shall be paid by the Lessee as Supplemental Rent as and when provided in this Agreement and the other Operative Documents or upon demand therefor by the Lessor.
          (b) Amendments and Supplements. The Lessee agrees to pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Lessor in connection with any proposed or successful amendment or supplementing any of the Operative Documents and the documents and instruments referred to therein (including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Lessor).
     SECTION 8.10 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
     SECTION 8.11 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally:
          (a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Participation Agreement or any other Operative Document, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York state court sitting in the borough of Manhattan, and appellate courts from any thereof; and

30


 

          (b) consents that any such action or proceedings may be brought to such courts, and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same.
     Each party, to the extent permitted by law, hereby voluntarily, knowingly, irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right to have a jury participate in resolving any dispute, whether sounding in contract, tort, or otherwise, among or between the parties hereto arising out of, in connection with, related to, or incidental to the relationship established among the parties in connection with this Agreement, any other Operative Document or any other document executed or delivered in connection herewith or the transactions related hereto. This waiver shall not in any way affect, waive, limit, amend or modify the ability of the Lessor to pursue any remedies contained in this Agreement, the other Operative Documents or any other agreement or document related hereto. This provision is a material inducement to the Lessor to enter into this Agreement and the other Operative Documents.
     SECTION 8.12 Limitation on Interest. Any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Operative Documents notwithstanding, it is expressly provided that in no case or event shall the aggregate of (i) all interest payable by the Lessee and (ii) the aggregate of any other amounts accrued or paid pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Operative Documents, which under applicable laws are or may be deemed to constitute interest, ever exceed the maximum rate of interest which could lawfully be contracted for, charged or received. In this connection, it is expressly stipulated and agreed that it is the intent of the Lessee and the Lessor to contract in strict compliance with the applicable usury laws of the State of New York and of the United States (whichever permit the higher rate of interest) from time to time in effect. In furtherance thereof, none of the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Operative Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, as consideration for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the maximum contract interest rate permitted to be contracted for, charged or received by the applicable laws of the United States or the State of New York (whichever permit the higher rate of interest). The Lessee and the other parties now or hereafter becoming liable for payment of any indebtedness under this Agreement or any other Operative Documents shall never be liable for interest in excess of the maximum rate that may be lawfully contracted for or charged under the laws of the State of New York and of the United States (whichever permit the higher rate of interest). If under any circumstances the aggregate amounts paid include amounts which by law are deemed interest which would exceed the maximum amount of interest which could lawfully have been contracted for, charged or received, the parties stipulate that such amounts will be deemed to have been paid as a result of an error on the part of the parties, and the party receiving such excess payment shall promptly, upon discovery of such error or upon notice thereof from the party making such payment, refund the amount of such excess or at the option of the Lessor, credit such excess against any unpaid principal balance owing. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, all amounts contracted for, charged or received for the use, forbearance, or detention of money shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the Lease. The provisions of this Section 8.12 shall control all of the Operative Documents.

31


 

     SECTION 8.13 Reproduction of Documents. The parties hereto agree and stipulate that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any reproduction of this Agreement or other Operative Documents shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made in the regular course of business) and any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence. This Section 8.13 shall not prohibit the Lessor from contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction.
     SECTION 8.14 Payment of Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be consummated, the Lessee and the Guarantor shall:
          (a) Fees and Expenses. Pay or cause to be paid (i) all fees and expenses incurred by the Lessor in connection with the transactions described in this Agreement and the other Operative Documents, (ii) all fees and expenses incurred by any of the Lessor in connection with any refinancing, modification, supplement or amendment (or, if related to a request made by the Lessee, interpretation) of this Agreement or any of the Operative Documents or any waiver or consent under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the Operative Documents, whether or not such refinancing, modification, supplement, amendment, waiver or consent is obtained or becomes effective, and in connection with the consideration of any potential, actual or proposed restructuring or workout of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Operative Documents, (iii) all fees and expenses incurred by any of the Lessor in connection with the consummation of the Overall Transaction, including without limitation, in each instance set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), any and all document production, duplication charges, printing, word processing and reproduction expenses, legal and surveyor’s fees (including the legal fees and expenses of local counsel and counsel to the Lessor), and (iv) other fees and expenses of the Lessor, as beneficiary or mortgagee, as applicable, under applicable title insurance policies, fees and expenses of any appraisers and environmental engineers and consultants, and all recording, registration and filing fees, taxes and expenses.
          (b) Out-of-Pocket Expenses. Reimburse or cause to be reimbursed each of the Indemnitees for its or their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (other than income taxes) in connection with (i) the transactions contemplated hereunder and under the Operative Documents, and (ii) any modification, supplement or amendment of any of the Operative Documents or any waiver or consent under or in respect of any of the Operative Documents and in connection with the consideration of any potential, actual or proposed restructuring or workout of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Operative Documents, and pay or cause to be paid all reasonable costs, expenses, taxes and fees incurred by the Lessor, in enforcing this Agreement or any Operative Document, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, in connection with any Default or Event of Default thereunder or hereunder, or in responding to any subpoena or other legal process or informal investigate demand issued in connection with this Agreement or any of the Operative Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
          (c) Stamp Taxes. Pay or cause to be paid, and save each of the Indemnitees (and each nominee of, payee designated by or successor or assignee of the Lessor harmless from and against any and all liability and loss with respect to or resulting from the nonpayment or

32


 

delayed payment of any and all stamp and other similar taxes, fees and excises, if any, including any interest and penalties, which may be, or be determined to be, payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or in connection with any modification, supplement or amendment of this Agreement or any of the Operative Documents or any waiver or consent under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the Operative Documents.
          (d) Brokerage Fees. Hold each of the Indemnitees harmless from and against any and all finders’ or brokerage fees and commissions which may be payable in connection with such transactions or in connection with any modification, supplement or amendment of this Agreement or any of the other Operative Documents or any waiver or consent under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Operative Documents.
     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by their respective duly authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

          SECTION 4.1 Rent.
          (a) Basic Rent. During the Lease Term, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor Basic Rent in advance on each Rent Payment Date.

 


 

          (b) Lease Termination Date. On the Lease Termination Date, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor an amount equal to the Lease Balance, including all amounts payable as Supplemental Rent in connection with the provisions of Article XI, Article XIV, and Sections 15.1, 15.2, 15.3, or 15.5 of this Lease and all other amounts provided in the Operative Documents.
          SECTION 4.2 Supplemental Rent. The Lessee shall pay to the Lessor, or to whomever shall be entitled thereto as expressly provided herein or in any other Operative Document, any and all amounts constituting Supplemental Rent promptly as the same shall become due and payable, provided that if no such date is specified, such item of Supplemental Rent shall be due and payable promptly upon the Lessee’s receipt of a request for such payment from the Lessor or the party to whom such payment is due. In the event of any failure on the part of the Lessee to pay any Supplemental Rent, which failure constitutes an Event of Default, the Lessor shall have all rights, powers and remedies provided for herein or by law or in equity or otherwise in the case of nonpayment of Basic Rent. All Supplemental Rent to be paid pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be payable in the type of funds and in the manner set forth in Section 4.3(a) of this Lease.
          SECTION 4.3 Method of Payment.
          (a) Cash Payment.

Each payment of Rent (including payments under Article XV hereof) shall be made by the Lessee prior to 10:00 a.m., New York, New York time (and payments made after such time shall be deemed to have been made on the next day) at the place of payment in funds consisting of lawful currency of the United States of America which shall be immediately available on the scheduled date when such payment shall be due, unless with respect to Supplemental Rent such scheduled date shall not be a Business Day, in which case such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

At the request of the Lessor, the Lessee shall enter into any documents necessary to reflect an increase in the Lease Balance as a result of the Lessee’s election to make a PIK Rent Payment.

The obligations and liabilities of the Lessee hereunder shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall in no way be released, discharged or otherwise affected for any reason, including without limitation (i) any defect in the condition, merchantability, design, quality or fitness for use of the Leased Property or any part thereof, or the failure of the Leased Property to comply with Applicable Law, including any inability to occupy or use the Leased Property by reason of such non-compliance, (ii) any damage to, removal, abandonment, salvage, loss, contamination of or Release from, scrapping or destruction of or any requisition or taking of the Leased Property or any part thereof, (iii) any restriction, prevention or curtailment of or interference with any use of the Leased Property or any part thereof, including eviction, (iv) any defect in title to or rights to the Leased Property or any Lien on such title or rights or on the Leased Property, (v) any change, waiver, extension, indulgence or other action or omission or breach in respect of any obligation or liability of or by the Lessor, the Lessee or any other Person, (vi) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceedings relating to the Lessee, the Lessor, or any other Person, or any action taken with respect to this Lease by any trustee or receiver of the Lessee, the Lessor, or any other Person, or by any court, in any such proceeding, (vii) any failure on the part of the Lessor or any other Person to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Lease or any other Operative Document, (viii) any invalidity or unforceability or disaffirmance of this Lease or any provision hereof or any of the other Operative Documents or any provision of any thereof by or against the Lessee, (ix) any action by any court, administrative agency or other Governmental Authority, (x) any restriction, prevention or curtailment of or interference with any use of the Leased Property or any part thereof, (xi) the impossibility of performance by the Lessee, the Lessor or both, (xii) any claim that the Lessee has or might have against any Person, including without limitation, the Lessor, (xiii) the failure of the Lessee to achieve any accounting or tax benefits or the charterization of the Transaction intended by Article XII of this Lease and Section 2.3 of the Participation Agreement, or (xiv) any other occurrence whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, that could constitute a release or discharge, or otherwise affect, any

3


 

obligation or liability of the Lessee, whether or not the Lessee shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing; provided that the waivers and acknowledgements in this Section 4.5 shall not be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the Purchase Option or any of the Lessee’s rights set forth in Article XV or the Lessor’s obligations contained in Article V. Except as specifically set forth in Articles XI or XV of this Lease, this Lease shall be noncancellable by the Lessee for any reason whatsoever, and the Lessee, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, waives all rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise to quit, terminate or surrender this Lease, or to any diminution, abatement or reduction of Rent payable by the Lessee hereunder. If for any reason whatsoever this Lease shall be terminated in whole or in part by operation of law or otherwise, except as expressly provided in Article XI or Article XV of this Lease, the Lessee shall, unless prohibited by Applicable Law, nonetheless pay to the Lessor (or, in the case of Supplemental Rent, to whomever shall be entitled thereto) an amount equal to each Rent payment (including the Lease Balance or any other amount due and payable under any Operative Documents) at the time and in the manner that such payment would have become due and payable under the terms of this Lease if it had not been terminated in whole or in part. Each payment of Rent and any payment of the Lease Balance made by the Lessee hereunder shall be final and, absent manifest error in the computation of the amount thereof, the Lessee shall not seek or have any right to recover all or any part of such payment from the Lessor, or any party to any agreements related thereto for any reason whatsoever. The Lessee assumes the sole responsibility for the condition, use, operation, maintenance, and management of the Leased Property and the Lessor shall have no responsibility in respect thereof and shall have no liability for damage to the property of either the Lessee or any subtenant of the Lessee on any account or for any reason whatsoever other than by reason of the Lessor’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or negligence in the handling of funds or breach of its obligations contained in Article V or Article XV; provided, however, any liability of the Lessor with respect to any such willful misconduct or gross negligence or negligence in the handling of funds or breach of its obligations contained in Article V or Article XV shall not limit or affect the Lessee’s absolute obligations as set forth in this Section 4.5.
          SECTION 4.6 The Lessee to Cooperate with the Lessor. The Lessee hereby agrees to use its best efforts to supply the Lessor with all such information necessary in order for the Lessor to maintain its books and accounts and prepare all required federal, state and local tax returns.

          (b) If an Environmental Violation occurs or is discovered the cost of remediation of which would exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) and the Lessee does not, within such reasonable period of time as maybe prescribed by the Lessor, undertake such actions as the Lessor may reasonably require to assure that such Environmental Violation will be remediated in accordance with Applicable Law, the Lessor and the Lessee each may terminate this Lease by giving written notice to the other party that this Lease is to be terminated as a consequence of the occurrence of such Environmental Violation (a “Termination Notice”), and, upon the giving of such Termination Notice, the Lessee shall be obligated, and hereby agrees, to purchase the Lessor’s interest in the Leased Property on or prior to the date occurring sixty (60) days after the date of the Termination Notice by paying to the Lessor an amount equal to the Lease Balance on such termination date. On the day of the payment by the Lessee of the Lease Balance in accordance with the Termination Notice (such day, the “Termination Date”), this Lease shall terminate with respect to the Leased Property; provided, however, that such termination shall not release the Lessee from or effect a waiver of any of the Lessee’s remaining obligations under the Operative Documents (except to the extent of such payment of the Lease Balance), including, without limitation, Lessee’s indemnification obligations under Section 7 of the Participation Agreement. Upon the Lessor’s receipt of such amount, the Lessor shall cause its entire interest in the Leased Property to be conveyed to the Lessee in accordance with and subject to the Purchase Procedure as set forth in Section 15.5 below; provided, however, that (i) such conveyance shall be subject to Permitted Liens, but free and clear of Lessor Liens, (ii) the Lessor shall have no obligation to remove title defects other than the Lessor’s obligation to remove Lessor Liens and (iii) the Lessee’s failure to obtain a title insurance policy shall not affect the Lessee’s obligation to so purchase the Lessor’s interest in the Leased Property. Upon completion of such purchase and payment in full of the Lease Balance, but not prior thereto, the Leased Property shall be deemed released from this Lease, and all obligations of the Lessee and the Lessor with respect to the Leased Property shall terminate, except with respect to obligations, indemnities and liabilities hereunder, actual or contingent, that have arisen or relate to events occurring on or prior to such date of purchase, or which are expressly stated in the Operative Documents to survive termination of this Lease. Upon the consummation of the purchase of the Leased Property pursuant to this Section, and the payment in full of the Lease Balance, any proceeds derived from insurance maintained by the Lessee pursuant to this Lease for the Leased Property in the hands of or under the control of the Lessor shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Lessee or as it may direct, and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and applicable contractual agreements and/or policies, the Lessor shall assign to the Lessee without warranty, all of the Lessor’s rights to and interest in any claims relating to the Leased Property under such insurance and to any subrogation claims resulting from such Environmental Violation.

          (c) Promptly, but in any event within fifteen (15) days from the Lessee’s obtaining knowledge thereof, the Lessee shall provide to the Lessor written notice of any pending or, to the Lessee’s knowledge, threatened claim, action or proceeding involving any Environmental Law or any Release on or about the Leased Property (an “Environmental Claim”). All such notices shall describe in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, action or proceeding and the Lessee’s proposed response thereto. In addition, the Lessee shall provide to the Lessor, within fifteen (15) days of receipt, copies of all written communications with any Governmental Authority relating to any Environmental Claim. The Lessee shall also promptly provide such detailed reports of any Environmental Claims as may reasonably be requested by the Lessor.
          SECTION 8.6 Permitted Contests. If no Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains outstanding, to the extent and for so long as (a) a test, challenge, appeal or proceeding for review of any Applicable Law relating to the Leased Property shall be prosecuted diligently and in good faith in appropriate proceedings by the Lessee or (b) compliance with such Applicable Law shall have been excused or exempted by a valid nonconforming use, variance, permit, waiver, extension or forbearance, the Lessee shall not be required to comply with such Applicable Law but only if and so long as any such test, challenge, appeal, proceeding, nonconforming use, variance, permit, waiver, extension, forbearance or noncompliance shall not, in the reasonable opinion of the Lessor, involve (A) any risk of criminal liability being imposed on the Lessor or the Leased Property, or (B) any risk of (1) foreclosure, forfeiture or loss of the Leased Property, or any part thereof, or (2) the nonpayment of Basic Rent or (C) any risk of (1) the sale of, or the creation of any Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) on, any part of the Leased Property, (2) civil liability being imposed on the Lessor or the Leased Property, or (3) interference with, the use, possession or disposition of the Leased Property in any respect. The Lessor will not be required to join in any proceedings pursuant to this Section 8.6 unless a provision of any Applicable Law requires that such proceedings be brought by or in the name of the Lessor; and in that event the Lessor will join in the proceedings or permit them or any part thereof to be brought in its name if and so long as (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) the Lessee pays all related expenses and indemnifies the Lessor. The right of the Lessee to contest any Applicable Law as provided in this Section 8.6 shall not limit the Lessee’s indemnification obligations set forth in Article VII of the Participation Agreement and elsewhere in the Operative Documents. To the extent of any conflicts between this Section 8.6 and Article VII of the Participation Agreement, the Participation Agreement shall control.
ARTICLE IX
INSURANCE
          SECTION 9.1 Insurance Coverages. At all times (except as otherwise indicated) during which there exist any Alterations on the Leased Property, the Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall cause the Leased Property and such Alterations to be insured for the benefit of the Lessor and the Lessee against the following:

11


 

          (a) loss or damage by fire, vandalism and malicious mischief and such other risks as may be included in the so-called “Special Form” form of insurance providing coverage against all risks of physical loss, in an amount not less than the then Full Replacement Cost of all such Alterations on the Leased Property; and
          (b) flood hazard coverage, if available under any applicable federal flood insurance program, in an amount reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor (but only if the Leased Property is located in a special flood hazard area).
     At any time during which the Lessee is making any Alterations, as to such Alterations under construction, the Lessee shall carry or cause to be carried builder’s risk coverage under a so-called “Special Form” non-reporting completed value form of policy. The term “Full Replacement Cost” shall mean the actual replacement cost of the Alterations (excluding foundation and excavation costs) without physical depreciation, including, without limitation, any costs that may be required to cause the Alterations to be reconstructed in accordance with then-current Applicable Law.
          SECTION 9.2 Liability Insurance. The Lessee shall also maintain insurance for the mutual benefit of the Lessor, each other Indemnitee, and the Lessee against claims for death, personal injury, bodily injury and property damage with respect to the Leased Property, under a policy of general public liability insurance, on an occurrence basis, with such limits as may reasonably be required by the Lessor from time to time, but not less than $2,000,000 combined single limit, per occurrence (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Lessor), with excess umbrella liability coverage of not less than $10,000,000.
          SECTION 9.3 Policies. All insurance provided for under this Lease shall be effected under valid enforceable policies issued by insurers of recognized responsibility, qualified to do business in the State in which the Leased Property is located, having a Best Insurance Guide Rating of A/VIII or better (or an equivalent rating from another publication of a similar nature as shall be in current use and approved by the Lessor), or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Lessor. Upon the execution of this Lease, the Lessee shall deliver to the Lessor original certificates of such insurance and copies of such policies in form reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor. At least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of any policy, a certificate of the renewal policy for such insurance shall be delivered by the Lessee to the Lessor, and certificates thereof in form reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor shall be delivered as aforesaid, together with satisfactory evidence of payment of the premium thereon. All policies referred to in Section 9.1 shall contain agreements by the insurers that (i) any loss shall be payable to the Lessor, notwithstanding any act or negligence of the Lessee or any Person having an interest in the Leased Property which might otherwise result in forfeiture of said insurance, provided that all such policies of insurance (including, without limitation, builder’s risk insurance) shall name the Lessor, its successors and assigns, as mortgagee and sole loss payee, (ii) such policies shall not be cancelable except upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to each named insured and loss payee, (iii) the coverage afforded thereby shall not be affected by the performance of any work in or about the Leased Property, (iv) all rights of subrogation, offset, counterclaim or other deduction are waived against the Lessor, the Lessee and their respective officers, employees, directors, incorporators, shareholders and agents, and (v) the coverage afforded by such policies is primary without any right of contribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of delivering

12


 

copies of policies pursuant to this Article IX on the Closing Date, the Lessee may provide certificates of such insurance on form ACCORD 28 (or the equivalent), executed by each insurance company or its authorized agent, provided that all certificates and evidence of insurance shall contain information reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor (including, without limitation, attachment and/or itemization of all applicable coverages and endorsements). All policies shall be written to avoid application of co-insurance.
          SECTION 9.4 Insured and Loss Payee Provisions. All policies of insurance required herein shall name the Lessor, its successors and/or assigns, as an additional insured as its interests may appear. All policies referred to in Section 9.1 (including, without limitation, builder’s risk insurance), shall name the Lessor, its successors and/or assigns, as mortgagee and sole loss payee. The loss, if any, under the policies referred to in Section 9.1 shall be adjusted with the insurance companies with joint participation by the Lessee and the Lessor. To the extent there is a Fee Mortgagee or an Approved Leasehold Mortgagee at the time of such loss, such Fee Mortgagee and/or such Approved Leasehold Mortgagee shall also be entitled to participate with the Lessee and the Lessor in adjustment of such loss. The loss, if any, under all policies referred to in Section 9.1 shall be payable to the Lessor. All such policies shall expressly provide that loss thereunder shall be adjusted and paid as provided in this Section. Any loss paid to the Lessee under any insurance policy referred to in Section 9.1 shall be held by the Lessee in trust for application to the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding the Leased Property. Prior to the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, any loss paid to the Lessor shall be applied by it and disbursed by it in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6 of this Lease.
          SECTION 9.5 Other Insurance. With the prior written consent of the Lessor, the Lessee may take out insurance of the kind and in the amounts provided for under Section 9.1 and 9.2 under a blanket insurance policy or policies which can cover other properties owned or operated by the Lessee as well as the Leased Property; provided, however, that any such policy of insurance shall (a) specify therein, or the Lessee shall furnish the Lessor with a written statement from the insurers under such policies specifying, the amount of the total insurance allocated to the Leased Property, which amount shall be not less than the amount required by this Article IX to be carried, and (b) not contain any clause which would result in the insured thereunder being required to carry insurance with respect to the property covered thereby in an amount equal to a minimum specific percentage of the value of such property in order to prevent the insured therein named from becoming a co-insurer of any loss with the insurer under such policy. The Lessee shall furnish to the Lessor, within thirty (30) days after the filing thereof with any insurance rate-making body, copies of the schedule or make-up of all property covered by every such policy of blanket insurance.
          SECTION 9.6 Deductibles. Any insurance provided for under this Lease may provide for commercially reasonable deductibles.
          SECTION 9.7 Failure to Maintain Insurance. If the Lessee shall fail to maintain any insurance required to be maintained herein or in any other Operative Document, then without limiting the application of the provisions of Article XIII(d) hereof, the Lessor may, but shall not be required to, obtain such insurance on behalf of the Lessee. In the event the Lessor shall obtain such insurance, (a) the Lessee shall pay the costs of obtaining such insurance

13


 

as Supplemental Rent upon demand therefore, plus interest thereon at the Overdue Rate from that due date until paid by the Lessee, and (b) the Lessee may provide other insurance conforming to the requirements of this Lease, in which instance any insurance obtained by the Lessor shall be cancelled at its request. The rights of the Lessor under this Section 9.7 shall be in addition to, and not in place of, any other rights such parties may have under this Lease and the other Operative Documents.
ARTICLE X
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASING; OTHER TRANSFERS
          SECTION 10.1 Assignment. Except as provided in Section 10.4, during the Lease Term, the Lessee may not assign, transfer or encumber, in whole or in part, any of its right, title or interest in, to or under this Lease without the Lessor’s prior consent, which consent may be given or withheld in the Lessor’s sole and absolute discretion. Any attempted assignment, transfer or encumbrance made without the Lessor’s prior consent shall be null and void.
          SECTION 10.2 Sublease. During the Lease Term, the Lessee may not sublease, all or any portion of the Leased Property to any Person, without the Lessor’s prior consent, which consent may be given or withheld in the Lessor’s sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lessee may, without the prior consent of the Lessor, (i) as necessary or appropriate for the operation of the Lessee’s business, sublease the Leased Property to a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Lessee or the Guarantor, (ii) sublease the Leased Property to any Person in connection with any merger, acquisition or consolidation of the Lessee and/or the Guarantor or the acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Lessee and/or the Guarantor, and (iii) sublease (or grant a license to use) all or any portion of the Leased Property to any Person on arm’s length terms in the ordinary course of the Lessee’s business operations. The Lessee shall notify the Lessor promptly, and in any event within ten (10) days, of its entering into any sublease (or license agreement) not requiring the Lessor’s prior consent and which is Material and shall provide the Lessor with a copy of such sublease (or license agreement). The Lessor covenants and agrees not to interfere with or disturb a subtenant’s possession of the Leased Property or any applicable portion thereof, so long as (a) such subtenant is not then in default under its sublease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, (b) such subtenant continues to pay the rent provided for in its sublease and to perform all of its other obligations under its sublease as and when the same become due and (c) such subtenant agrees to attorn to and be bound under its sublease to the Lessor or any subsequent purchaser of the Leased Property.
          SECTION 10.3 No Release. No assignment or sublease will discharge or diminish any of the Lessee’s obligations hereunder, and the Lessee shall remain directly and primarily liable under the Lease with respect to the Leased Property.
          SECTION 10.4 Leasehold Financing.
          (a) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 10.1 above to the contrary, the Lessee may, without the Lessor’s prior written consent, mortgage, pledge or collaterally assign all of the Lessee’s right, title or interest in, to or under this Lease (each, an “Approved

14


 

Leasehold Financing”) to or for the benefit of the holders of the Subordinated Notes and the holders of the Senior Notes (each, an “Approved Leasehold Mortgagee”). The Lessee shall notify the Lessor promptly, and in any event within ten (10) days, of its entering into an Approved Leasehold Financing, and shall provide the Lessor with copies of any and all documents related to each such Approved Leasehold Financing.
          (b) In connection with an Approved Leasehold Financing, the Lessor covenants and agrees with and for the benefit of the Approved Leasehold Mortgagee, subject to the terms of the Approved Leasehold Financing, as follows:
     (i) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Lessor shall give written notice thereof to the Approved Leasehold Mortgagee, and before the Lessor may exercise any remedies hereunder as a result of such Event of Default, the Lessor shall provide the Approved Leasehold Mortgagee with the right to cure such Event of Default for a period of thirty (30) days after the Approved Leasehold Mortgagee’s receipt of such notice;
     (ii) Following the occurrence of an event of default and foreclosure under the Approved Leasehold Financing, the Approved Leasehold Mortgagee may elect to exercise the Purchase Option in accordance with the terms of Article XV;
     (iii) For so long as such Approved Leasehold Financing remains in effect, the economic terms of this Lease may not be modified or amended without the prior written consent of the Approved Leasehold Mortgagee;
     (iv) This Lease may be assigned by the Lessee to the Approved Leasehold Mortgagee without the Lessor’s prior written consent; provided, however, in the event of such assignment, the Lessor may, at its option, require the Approved Leasehold Mortgagee to exercise the Purchase Option in accordance with the terms of Article XV; and
     (v) If this Lease terminates as a result of the Lessor exercising its remedies hereunder following the occurrence of an Event of Default, upon the request of the Approved Leasehold Mortgagee, the Lessor shall, within thirty (30) days of such termination, enter into a new lease with the Approved Leasehold Mortgagee, upon substantially the same terms and conditions as set forth herein, provided the Approved Leasehold Mortgagee has paid the Lease Balance to the Lessor.
          (c) The Lessee acknowledges and agrees that an Approved Leasehold Financing shall encumber only the Lessee’s right, title and interest in and to the Leased Property created by this Lease and shall not in any way encumber the Lessor’s fee simple title to the Leased Property or affect the Lessor’s right to receive any payments provided for under this Lease.
          SECTION 10.5 Transfer by Lessor. The Lessor shall have the right, without the consent of the Lessee, to sell, transfer, assign, convey or mortgage all or any portion of its right, title and interest in the Leased Property. If no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any such sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance or mortgage shall be made subject to this Lease, and Lessee’s right of possession and other rights under this Lease,

15


 

including the Lessee’s Purchase Option. At the request of the Lessor, the Lessee shall, at the Lessee’s sole cost and expense, cooperate with the Lessor’s efforts to facilitate any such sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance or mortgage transaction.
ARTICLE XI
LOSS, DESTRUCTION, CONDEMNATION OR DAMAGE
          SECTION 11.1 Event of Loss. Any single event (including a Release) affecting Alterations to the Leased Property (i) which would otherwise constitute a Casualty, (ii) which (A) in the good-faith judgment of the Lessee, renders repair and restoration of the Leased Property impractical or uneconomical, or (B) requires in excess of $500,000 to remedy or repair, and (iii) as to which the Lessee, within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such event, delivers to the Lessor an Officer’s Certificate notifying the Lessor of such event and of such judgment, shall constitute an “Event of Loss”. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Loss or Casualty, the Lessee shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days following the occurrence thereof, deliver written notice describing the Event of Loss or Casualty to the Lessor. In the case of any event (other than an Event of Loss) which constitutes a Casualty, the Lessee shall restore and rebuild the Leased Property pursuant to Section 11.3. If an Event of Loss other than an Event of Taking shall occur, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor on the next Rent Payment Date following delivery of the Officer’s Certificate pursuant to clause (iii) of the preceding sentence an amount equal to the Lease Balance as of such date. Upon the Lessor’s receipt of the Lease Balance on such date, the Lessor shall cause the Lessor’s interest in the Leased Property to be conveyed to the Lessee in accordance with the Purchase Procedure as set forth in Section 15.5 hereof. Upon completion of such purchase, including payment in full of the Lease Balance, but not prior thereto, the Leased Property shall be deemed released from this Lease and all obligations of the Lessee and the Lessor with respect to the Leased Property shall terminate, except with respect to obligations, indemnities and liabilities hereunder, actual or contingent, that have arisen or relate to events occurring on or prior to such date of purchase, or which are expressly stated in Section 18.14 or elsewhere herein or the other Operative Documents to survive termination of this Lease. Upon the consummation of the purchase of the Leased Property pursuant to this Section 11.1, and the payment of the Lease Balance and all other amounts owed to the Lessor, any proceeds derived from insurance maintained by the Lessee pursuant to this Lease shall be paid over to, or retained by, the Lessee or as it may direct, and the Lessor shall assign to the Lessee, without warranty, all of the Lessor’s rights to and interest in the proceeds of insurance with respect to such Event of Loss required to be maintained by the Lessee pursuant to this Lease.
          SECTION 11.2 Event of Taking. Any event which (a) constitutes a taking of title to all or substantially all of the Leased Property (including, without limitation, any Appurtenances), or (b) (i) would otherwise constitute a Condemnation of the Leased Property, (ii) that (A) either (1) in the good-faith judgment of the Lessee, renders restoration and rebuilding of the Leased Property impossible, impractical or uneconomical, or (2) involves a potential Award in excess of $250,000 and (B) as to which the Lessee, within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such event, delivers to the Lessor an Officer’s Certificate notifying the Lessor of such event, of such judgment and of the date (or the Lessee’s best estimate thereof) on which the Lessee shall be required to relinquish possession of the Leased Property (or the affected portion thereof), shall constitute an “Event of Taking”. Upon its receipt of any notice

16


 

from any Governmental Authority concerning any Condemnation, the Lessee shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days following the receipt thereof, deliver a copy of such notice to the Lessor. In the case of any event (other than an Event of Taking) which constitutes a Condemnation, the Lessee shall restore and rebuild the Leased Property pursuant to Section 11.4. If an Event of Taking shall occur, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor on the Rent Payment Date next preceding the date on which the Lessee is required to relinquish possession of the Leased Property (or the affected portion thereof), an amount equal to the Lease Balance. Upon the Lessor’s receipt of the Lease Balance on such date, the Lessor shall cause the Lessor’s interest in the Leased Property to be conveyed to the Lessee in accordance with and subject to the Purchase Procedure as set forth in Section 15.5 hereof; provided, however, that (A) such conveyance shall be free and clear of the Lessor Liens and the lien of the Operative Documents, (B) such conveyance shall be subject to all rights of the condemning authority, (C) the Lessor shall have no obligation to remove title defects other than the Lessor Liens and (D) the Lessee’s ability to obtain a title insurance policy shall not affect the Lessee’s obligation to purchase the Lessor’s interest in the Leased Property. Upon completion of such purchase, including payment in full of the Lease Balance, but not prior thereto, the Leased Property shall be deemed released from this Lease and all obligations of the Lessee and the Lessor under this Lease with respect to the Leased Property shall terminate, except with respect to obligations, indemnities and liabilities hereunder, actual or contingent, that have arisen or relate to events occurring on or prior to such date of purchase, or which are expressly stated in Section 18.14 or elsewhere herein or in the Operative Documents to survive termination of this Lease. Upon the payment of the Lease Balance and the consummation of the purchase of the Leased Property pursuant to this Section 11.2, the net amount of all Awards received by the Lessor, after deducting any portion thereof applied to the payment of the Lease Balance, and any reasonable, documented and unreimbursed costs incurred by the Lessor in collecting such Awards received or payable on account of an Event of Taking during the Lease Term, shall be paid to the Lessee, and all rights of the Lessor in Awards not then received shall be assigned to the Lessee, without warranty, by the Lessor.
          SECTION 11.3 Casualty. Upon any Casualty during the Lease Term with respect to any portion of any Alteration to the Leased Property which is not an Event of Loss, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, without any abatement or reduction of Rent. If the cost of repair of such Casualty would exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000), the Lessee shall give to the Lessor written notice thereof. As soon as practicable after a Casualty, the Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall repair and rebuild the affected portions of the Leased Property suffering such Casualty (or cause such affected portions to be repaired and rebuilt) to the condition required to be maintained by Section 7.1 hereof, whether or not insurance proceeds are sufficient; provided, that the value and functional capability of such item as restored is at least equivalent to the value and functional capability of such item as in effect immediately prior to the occurrence of such Casualty (assuming such item was in the condition required by this Lease). Insurance proceeds received with respect to any Casualty shall be held by a creditworthy depository reasonably acceptable to the Lessor and the Lessee (which may be the Fee Mortgagee, if applicable, provided the Fee Mortgagee is an institutional lender) and made available to the Lessee to pay costs actually incurred by the Lessee to restore the Leased Property as required herein and to comply with the provisions of Sections 7.1 and 7.2 hereof.

17


 

          SECTION 11.4 Condemnation. In case of a Condemnation or a requisition for temporary use of all or a portion of the Leased Property, in either case, which is not an Event of Taking, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, without any abatement or reduction of Rent, and the proceeds received from any Governmental Authority relating to a Condemnation for the affected portion of the Leased Property shall, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, be paid to the Lessee. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any portion of such proceeds that is awarded with respect to the time period after the expiration or termination of the Lease Term (unless the Lessee shall have exercised an option to purchase the Leased Property and consummated such purchase) shall be paid to the Lessor; provided, that if the Lessee has purchased the Leased Property and the Lessor has received the full amount of the Lease Balance, such proceeds (or the portion of such proceeds in excess of the portion thereof applied to the Lease Balance) shall be paid over to the Lessee.
          SECTION 11.5 Verification of Restoration and Rebuilding. The Lessee will promptly notify the Lessor of the completion of the restoration or rebuilding of the Leased Property, as applicable, after a Casualty or Condemnation. After completion of such restoration and rebuilding and in order to verify the Lessee’s compliance with the foregoing Sections 11.3 and 11.4, the Lessor and its representatives may, upon reasonable prior notice to the Lessee, during normal business hours, inspect the Leased Property and the completion of the restoration and rebuilding of the Leased Property, as applicable. All reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs of such inspection incurred by the Lessor will be paid by the Lessee promptly after written request. No such inspection shall unreasonably interfere with the Lessee’s operations or the operations of any other occupant of the Leased Property. None of the inspecting parties shall have any duty to make any such inspection or inquiry and none of the inspecting parties shall incur any liability or obligation by reason of not making any such inspection or inquiry. None of the inspecting parties shall incur any liability or obligation by reason of making any such inspection or inquiry unless and to the extent such inspecting party causes damage to the Leased Property or any property of the Lessee or any other Person during the course of such inspection.
          SECTION 11.6 Application of Payments.
          (a) All proceeds (except for payments under insurance policies not required under Article IX of this Lease) received at any time by the Lessor or the Lessee from any Governmental Authority or other Person with respect to any Condemnation or Casualty to the Leased Property or any part thereof or with respect to an Event of Loss or an Event of Taking, plus the amount of any payment that would have been due from an insurer but for the Lessee’s deductibles (“Loss Proceeds”), shall (except to the extent Section 11.9 applies) be applied as follows:
     (i) In the event the Lessee has purchased the Leased Property pursuant to Section 11.1 or Section 11.2 and the Lessor has received the full amount of the Lease Balance, such Loss Proceeds shall be applied as set forth in Section 11.1 or Section 11.2, as the case may be;
     (ii) In the event of a Casualty with respect to which the Lessee is obligated to repair and rebuild the Leased Property pursuant to Section 11.3, the Loss Proceeds shall

18


 

be deposited with a creditworthy depository reasonably acceptable to the Lessor and the Lessee (which may be the Fee Mortgagee, if applicable, provided the Fee Mortgagee is an institutional lender), and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is then continuing, such Loss Proceeds shall be made available to the Lessee as such repair and restoration work progresses to pay the costs associated therewith, upon receipt by the Lessor of certificates, bills, invoices and other evidence of such costs as the Lessor may reasonably require. Any balance remaining after compliance with this Section 11.6(a)(ii) with respect to such Casualty shall be paid to the Lessee or to its Approved Leasehold Mortgagee, provided that after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, such balance shall be paid to the Lessor for application to the Lease Balance and all other amounts owing to the Lessor under the Operative Documents. If a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any amounts which otherwise would have been made available to the Lessee hereunder shall be retained by the Lessor and applied to payment of the Lease Balance and all other amounts owing to the Lessor under the Operative Documents;
     (iii) In the event of a Condemnation with respect to which the Lessee is obligated to repair and rebuild the Leased Property pursuant to Section 11.4, the Award shall be deposited with a creditworthy depositary reasonably acceptable to the Lessor and the Lessee (which may be the Fee Mortgagee, if applicable, provided the Fee Mortgagee is an institutional lender), and so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, such Award shall be made available to the Lessee as such repair and restoration work progresses to pay the costs associated therewith, upon receipt by the Lessor of certificates, bills, invoices and other evidence of such costs as the Lessor may reasonably require. Any balance remaining after compliance with this Section 11.6(a)(iii) with respect to such Condemnation shall be paid to the Lessee or to its Approved Leasehold Mortgagee, provided that after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, such balance shall be paid to the Lessor for application to the Lease Balance. If a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any amounts which otherwise would be payable to the Lessee hereunder shall be retained by the Lessor and applied to the payment of the Lease Balance and all other amounts owing to the Lessor under the Operative Documents; and
     (iv) As provided in Section 11.8 if such Section is applicable.
          (b) During any period of repair or rebuilding pursuant to this Article XI, this Lease will remain in full force and effect and Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent shall continue to accrue and be payable without abatement or reduction. The Lessee shall maintain records setting forth information relating to the receipt and application of payments in accordance with this Section 11.6. Such records shall be kept on file by the Lessee at its offices and shall be made available to the Lessor upon request.
          SECTION 11.7 Prosecution of Awards.
          (a) If any Condemnation shall occur, the Lessee shall give to the Lessor promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days after the occurrence of such Condemnation, written notice of such occurrence and the date thereof, generally describing the

19


 

nature and extent of such Condemnation. With respect to any Event of Taking or any Condemnation, the Lessee and the Lessor shall jointly participate in the negotiations with the relevant Governmental Authority as to the total amount of the Awards.

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lessee may prosecute, and the Lessor shall have no interest in, any claim with respect to the Lessee’s Personal Property, and the Lessee’s relocation expenses and any other relocation benefits available to the Lessee under applicable law.
          SECTION 11.8 Application of Certain Payments Not Relating to an Event of Taking. In case of a requisition for temporary use of all or a portion of the Leased Property which is not an Event of Taking, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, without any abatement or reduction of Basic Rent, and unless a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Award attributable thereto shall be paid to the Lessee.
          SECTION 11.9 Other Dispositions. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article XI, upon the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, any amount that would otherwise be payable to or for the account of, or that would otherwise be retained by, the Lessee pursuant to this Article XI shall be paid to, and retained by, the Lessor and applied to the payment of the Lease Balance and all other amounts owing to the Lessor under the Operative Documents.
          SECTION 11.10 No Rent Abatement. Rent shall not abate hereunder by reason of any Casualty, any Event of Loss, any Event of Taking or any Condemnation, and the Lessee shall continue to perform and fulfill all of the Lessee’s obligations, covenants and agreements hereunder notwithstanding such Casualty, Event of Loss, Event of Taking or Condemnation until the Lease Termination Date.
ARTICLE XII
NATURE OF TRANSACTION; INTEREST CONVEYED TO LESSEE
          (a) Intent of the Parties. The parties hereto intend that for all purposes, including federal and all state and local income tax purposes, state property tax, transfer tax and commercial law and bankruptcy purposes, (A) this Lease will be treated as a financing arrangement, (B) the Lessor will be deemed to be making a loan to the Lessee in an aggregate amount equal to the Lease Balance, which loan is secured by the Leased Property and (C) the Lessee will be treated as the owner of the Leased Property and will be entitled to all tax benefits ordinarily available to an owner of properties like the Leased Property for such tax purposes. Nevertheless, the Lessee acknowledges and agrees that the Lessor has not made any representations or warranties to the Lessee concerning the tax, accounting or legal characteristics of the Operative Documents and that the Lessee has obtained and relied upon such tax, accounting and legal advice concerning the Operative Documents as it deems appropriate. The parties hereto will not take any position inconsistent with the intentions expressed herein.

20

ARTICLE XIV
ENFORCEMENT
          SECTION 14.1 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default of the type described in clause (g) of Article XIII, the Lease Balance then outstanding, including, without limitation, all accrued Basic Rent, Supplemental Rent and fees and other obligations of the Lessee accrued under the Operative Documents, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of an kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Lessee. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default other than an Event of Default of the type described in clause (g) of Article XIII, and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Lessor may, by notice to the Lessee, declare the Lease Balance then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any portion of the Lease Balance not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the Lease Balance (or the portion thereof so declared to be due and payable), including, without limitation, all accrued Basic Rent, Supplemental Rent and all fees and other obligations of the Lessee accrued under the Operative Documents, shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Lessee. In addition, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, the Lessor may, so long as such Event of Default is continuing, do one or more of the following, without limiting any other right or remedy that the Lessor may have on account of such Event of Default (including, without limitation, accelerating and enforcing the obligation of the Lessee to purchase the Leased Property as set forth in Sections 15.2 and 15.3):

25


 

          (a) By notice to the Lessee, rescind or terminate this Lease as of the date specified in such notice, which date shall, unless such notice is subsequently rescinded by the Lessor, become the Lease Termination Date; provided, however, that (i) no reletting, reentry or taking of possession of the Leased Property by the Lessor will be construed as an election on the part of the Lessor to terminate this Lease unless written notice of such intention is given to the Lessee, (ii) notwithstanding any reletting, reentry or taking of possession, the Lessor may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for a continuing Event of Default, (iii) the Lessor shall be under no obligation whatsoever to mitigate its damages hereunder but shall be entitled to maintain an action for the payment in full of all amounts due hereunder (including but not limited to payment of the Lease Balance, but subject to the terms and provisions of this Section 14.1), and (iv) no act or thing done by the Lessor or any of its agents, representatives or employees and no agreement accepting a surrender of the Leased Property shall be valid unless the same be made in writing and executed by the Lessor;
          (b) Without prejudice to any other remedy which the Lessor may have for possession of the Leased Property, and to the extent and in the manner permitted by Applicable Law, enter upon the Leased Property and take immediate possession of (to the exclusion of the Lessee) the Leased Property or any part thereof and expel or remove the Lessee and any other Person who may be occupying the Leased Property, by summary proceedings or otherwise by appropriate legal proceedings, all without liability to the Lessee for or by reason of such entry or taking of possession, whether for the restoration of damage to property caused by such taking or otherwise and, in addition to the other damages of the Lessor, the Lessee shall be responsible for the reasonable and documented costs and expenses of reletting, including brokers fees and the reasonable and documented costs of any alterations or repairs made by the Lessor;
          (c) Pursuant to this Lease and the Lease Supplement, sell or cause to be sold all or any part of the Leased Property at public or private sale, as the Lessor may determine, free and clear of any rights of the Lessee and without any duty to account to the Lessee with respect to such action or inaction or any proceeds with respect thereto (except as provided below), and if the Lessor shall so elect, demand that the Lessee pay to the Lessor, and the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor, on the date of such sale, as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and not as a penalty (the parties agreeing that actual damages would be difficult to predict, but the aforementioned liquidated damages represent a reasonable approximation of such amount) (in lieu of Basic Rent due for periods commencing on or after the Rent Payment Date coinciding with such date of sale (or, if the sale date is not a Rent Payment Date, the Rent Payment Date next preceding the date of such sale)), an amount equal to (A) the excess, if any, of (1) the sum of all Rent accrued and unpaid to and including such Rent Payment Date plus an amount equal to the Lease Balance as of the date of sale, over (2) the net proceeds of such sale, after deducting all costs and expenses incurred by the Lessor incident to such sale, including, without limitation, all costs, expenses, fees, premiums and taxes described in Section 15.5(c), plus (B) interest at the Overdue Rate on the foregoing amount from the date of the applicable Event of Default until the date of payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Lessor elects the foregoing remedy, the Lessor shall, concurrent with the closing of the sale of the Leased Property (or any portion thereof), pay to the Lessee or the party entitled thereto an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the net proceeds of such sale, after deducting all costs and expenses incurred by the Lessor incident to such sale, including, without limitation, all costs, expenses, fees, premiums and taxes described in Section 15.5(c), over (ii) the Lease Balance.

26


 

          (d) Elect not to terminate this Lease, and continue to demand and collect all Basic Rent, Supplemental Rent and all other amounts payable under this Lease (together with all costs of collection) and enforce the Lessee’s obligations under this Lease as and when the same become due, or are to be performed, and, upon any abandonment of the Leased Property by the Lessee and re-entry of same by the Lessor, the Lessor may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect not to terminate this Lease and may make such alterations and repairs as shall be reasonable or necessary in the judgment of the Lessor in order to relet the Leased Property, and relet the Leased Property or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may be for a long term extending beyond the term of this Lease) and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as the Lessor in its reasonable discretion may deem advisable. Upon each such reletting all rentals actually received by the Lessor from such reletting shall be applied to the Lessee’s obligations hereunder in such order, proportion and priority as the Lessor may elect in its sole and absolute discretion, and if such rentals received from such reletting during any Rent Period are less than the Rent to be paid during that Rent Period by the Lessee hereunder, the Lessee shall pay any deficiency, as calculated by the Lessor, to the Lessor on the Rent Payment Date in such Rent Period;
          (e) Unless the Leased Property has been sold in its entirety, and whether or not the Lessor shall have exercised or shall thereafter at any time exercise any of its rights under clauses (a), (b), (c) or (d) of this Article XIV, the Lessor may demand, by written notice to the Lessee specifying a date not earlier than five (5) Business Days following the date of such notice (the “Final Rent Payment Date”), that the Lessee pay to the Lessor, and the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor, on such Final Rent Payment Date as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and not as a penalty (the parties agreeing that actual damages would be difficult to predict, but the aforementioned liquidated damages represent a reasonable approximation of such amount) in lieu of Basic Rent due for periods commencing on or after such Final Payment Date, an amount equal to the sum of all Rent accrued and unpaid to and including such Final Payment Date, plus an amount equal to the Lease Balance as of such Final Payment Date, including, without limitation, all costs and expenses incurred by the Lessor, plus interest at the Overdue Rate on the foregoing amount from the date of the applicable Event of Default until the date of payment, and upon payment of the aggregate total of such amounts, the Lessor shall convey the Leased Property to the Lessee by quit claim deed pursuant to the provisions of Section 15.2 and Section 15.5 hereof;
          (f) Exercise any other right or remedy that may be available under Applicable Law, or proceed by appropriate court action (legal or equitable) to enforce the terms hereof or to recover damages for the breach hereof. Separate suits may be brought to collect any such damages for any Rent Period(s), and such suits shall not in any manner prejudice the right of the Lessor to collect any such damages for any subsequent Rent Period(s), or the Lessor may defer any such suit until after the expiration of the Lease Term, in which event such suit shall be deemed not to have accrued until the expiration of the Lease Term;
          (g) Retain and apply against the damages of the Lessor all sums which the Lessor would, absent such Event of Default, be required to pay, or turn over, to the Lessee pursuant to the terms of this Lease; and

27


 

          (h) Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Lease or any of the other Operative Documents to the contrary, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (provided that the Leased Property in its entirety has not been sold pursuant to the exercise of remedies under this Lease or any of the other Operative Documents), upon the payment to the Lessor of the Lease Balance and all other amounts owing to the Lessor under the Operative Documents, the Lessee shall be deemed to have exercised its option to purchase the Leased Property pursuant to Section 15.3 hereof, and the Lessor shall cause the interest of the Lessor in the Leased Property to be conveyed to the Lessee in accordance with and subject to the Purchase Procedure set forth in Section 15.5 hereof, by quitclaim deed.
          (i) All costs and expenses incurred by the Lessor in connection with the exercise of remedies pursuant to the Operative Documents shall be payable by the Lessee upon demand.
          SECTION 14.2 Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver; Consents. Each and every right, power and remedy herein specifically given to the Lessor in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as is determined by the Lessor, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by the Lessor in the exercise of any right, power or remedy or in the pursuit of any remedy shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default on the part of the Lessee or to be an acquiescence therein. The consent of the Lessor to any request made by the Lessee shall not be deemed to constitute or preclude the necessity for obtaining the consent of the Lessor in the future, to all similar requests. No express or implied waiver by the Lessor of any Default or Event of Default shall in any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any future Default or Event of Default. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Lessee hereby waives any rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise that may require the Lessor to sell, lease or otherwise use the Leased Property or part thereof in mitigation of any damages of the Lessor upon the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default or that may otherwise limit or modify any of the rights or remedies of the Lessor under this Article.
ARTICLE XV
PURCHASE OF LEASED PROPERTY
          SECTION 15.1 The Lessee’s Option to Purchase. Subject to the terms and conditions and provisions set forth in this Article XV, the Lessee shall have the option (the “Purchase Option”), exercisable at any time during the Lease Term, to purchase from the Lessor all, but not less than all, of the Lessor’s interest in the Leased Property at the purchase price equal to the Purchase Option Price. Such option must be exercised by written notice to the Lessor, which exercise shall be irrevocable, and such notice shall specify the closing date for the Lessee’s purchase of the Leased Property, which date shall be (i) not less than twenty (20) calendar days following the date of such notice and (ii) in any event not later than the Lease Termination Date. If the Purchase Option is exercised pursuant to the foregoing, then, subject to the provisions set forth in this Article XV, on such closing date, the Lessor shall convey to the

28


 

Lessee, and the Lessee shall purchase from the Lessor, the Lessor’s interest in all, but not less than all, of the Leased Property in accordance with the Purchase Procedure as set forth in Section 15.5.
          SECTION 15.2 Purchase Obligation.
          (a) Unless the Lessee shall have properly exercised the Purchase Option and purchased all of the Leased Property pursuant thereto, then, subject to the terms, conditions and provisions set forth in this Article XV, the Lessee shall purchase from the Lessor for a purchase price equal to the Lease Balance, and the Lessor shall convey to the Lessee, on the Lease Termination Date, the Lessor’s entire interest in all, but not less than all, of the Leased Property in accordance with the Purchase Procedure set forth in Section 15.5. The Lessee may designate, in a notice given to the Lessor not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the closing of such purchase (time being of the essence), the transferee to whom the conveyance shall be made (if other than to the Lessee), in which case such conveyance shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein) be made to such designee; provided, however, that such designation of a transferee shall not cause the Lessee to be released, fully or partially, from any of its obligations under this Lease or the other Operative Documents.
          (b) If the Lessee fails to purchase the Leased Property as provided in Section 15(a) above, the Lessee’s right to purchase the Leased Property pursuant to Section 15(a) shall terminate, and the Lessor shall have the unrestricted right, in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies available to the Lessor under Article XIV as a result of such failure, to sell the Leased Property to a third party in full or partial satisfaction of the Lessee’s obligations under this Lease. In the event the Lessor elects to sell the Leased Property to a third party as provided herein, the Lessee shall continue to be liable to the Lessor for an amount (the “Lessee’s Net Payment”) equal to the difference between (i) the net proceeds from the sale of the Leased Property, after first deducting therefrom all costs and expenses incurred by the Lessor incident to such sale, including, without limitation, all costs, expenses, fees, premiums and taxes described in Section 15.5(c) (the “Sales Proceeds”), and (ii) the Lease Balance, plus any and all other sums due and owing from the Lessee pursuant to this Lease and the other Operative Documents (collectively, the “Outstanding Lease Obligations”). The Lessor shall have the right to demand payment of the Lessee’s Net Payment from the Lessee at any time following the Lease Termination Date, and the Lessee shall make such payment to the Lessor within five (5) Business Days of the Lessee’s receipt of such demand. In the event the Lessor demands payment of the Lessee’s Net Payment prior to the sale of the Leased Property to a third party, then for purposes of calculating the Lessee’s Net Payment, the Sales Proceeds shall be deemed to equal the Fair Market Sales Value of the Leased Property. Upon the closing of the sale of the Leased Property, if the Sales Proceeds (plus the Lessee’s Net Payment, if previously paid by the Lessee prior to the sale of the Leased Property) exceed the Outstanding Lease Obligations, such excess shall be paid by the Lessor to the Lessee within five (5) Business Days of such closing, and, if the Outstanding Lease Obligations exceed the Sales Proceeds (plus the Lessee’s Net Payment, if previously paid by the Lessee prior to the sale of the Leased Property), such excess shall be paid by the Lessee to the Lessor within five (5) Business Days of such closing.

29


 

          SECTION 15.3 Purchase Upon Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, (i) the Lessor shall have the right, upon twenty (20) days prior written notice to the Lessee, to require the Lessee to purchase the Lessor’s entire interest in all, but not less than all, of the Leased Property, for a purchase price equal to the Lease Balance, and (ii) the Lessee shall have the right, upon twenty (20) days prior written notice to the Lessor, to purchase the Lessor’s entire interest in all, but not less than all, of the Leased Property, for a purchase price equal to the Lease Balance. If the Lessee purchases the Leased Property in accordance with this Section 15.3, the Lessor shall convey the Leased Property to the Lessee (or its designee) in accordance with the Purchase Procedure set forth in Section 15.5.
          SECTION 15.4 INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
          SECTION 15.5 Purchase Procedure. The provisions of this Section 15.5 are herein and elsewhere in the Operative Documents sometimes referred to as the “Purchase Procedure”.
          (a) If the Lessee shall purchase the Lessor’s interest in the Leased Property pursuant to any provision of this Lease, (i) the Lessee shall accept from the Lessor, and the Lessor shall convey to the Lessee (or its designee), the Lessor’s entire interest in the Leased Property, (ii) upon the date fixed for any purchase of the Lessor’s interest in the Leased Property hereunder, the Lessee shall pay to the order of the Lessor the Lease Balance by wire transfer of federal funds and (iii) the Lessor shall convey to the Lessee the Lessor’s entire interest in the Leased Property by quitclaim deed, together with such bills of sale and other instruments (including, without limitation, a quitclaim deed to any Alterations) as may be necessary to transfer all of the Lessor’s interest in the Leased Property. THE LESSOR’S TRANSFER OF ITS OWNERSHIP INTEREST IN THE LEASED PROPERTY SHALL BE ON AN AS-IS, WHERE-IS, BASIS, WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO DESIGN, CONDITION, QUALITY, CAPACITY, MERCHANTABILITY, HABITABILITY, DURABILITY, SUITABILITY OR FITNESS OF THE LEASED PROPERTY FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR ANY OTHER MATTER CONCERNING THE LEASED PROPERTY OR ANY PORTION THEREOF. THE LESSEE HEREBY WAIVES ANY CLAIM (INCLUDING ANY CLAIM BASED ON STRICT OR ABSOLUTE LIABILITY IN TORT OR INFRINGEMENT) IT MIGHT HAVE AGAINST THE LESSOR FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGE (INCLUDING INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE) OR EXPENSE CAUSED BY THE LEASED PROPERTY OR BY THE LESSEE’S LOSS OF USE THEREOF FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER. NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY SHALL BE MADE BY THE LESSOR AS TO THE EXISTENCE OF ANY LIENS OR ENCUMBRANCES (EXCEPT FOR LESSOR LIENS OTHER THAN PERMITTED LIENS) ON THE LEASED PROPERTY AS OF THE DATE OF SUCH SALE. In connection with, and as a condition to, any such transfer by the Lessor, the Lessee shall pay all charges and expenses incident to such transfer of the Leased Property, including, without limitation, all transfer taxes, recording fees, title insurance premiums, and federal, state and local taxes arising as a result of such transfer, and all fees and expenses of legal counsel of the Lessor reasonably incurred by reason of such transfer.

Applicable Law. In the event that the Lessor is requested and/or required by Applicable Law to take any action in connection with such purchase and sale, the Lessee shall pay all costs incurred by the Lessor in connection therewith. In addition, all charges incident to such conveyance, including, without limitation, the Lessee’s attorneys’ fees, the reasonable attorneys’ fees of the Lessor, any brokerage commissions, all escrow fees, recording fees, title insurance premiums and all applicable documentary transfer or other transfer taxes and other taxes required to be paid in order to record the transfer documents that might be imposed by reason of such conveyance and the delivery of such deed shall be borne entirely and paid by the Lessee.
          (c) Upon expiration or termination of this Lease resulting in conveyance of the Lessor’s interest in the title to the Leased Property to the Lessee, the Lessor shall not be required to make any apportionment of taxes, insurance, utility charges or other charges payable with respect to the Leased Property, all of such taxes, insurance, utility or other charges due and payable with respect to the Leased Property prior to termination being payable by the Lessee hereunder and all due after such time being payable by the Lessee as then owner of the Leased Property.
          SECTION 15.6 Effect of Conveyance to the Lessee. Upon conveyance by the Lessor to the Lessee of the Lessor’s interest in the Leased Property pursuant to this Article XV, the payment in full of the Lease Balance and the payment and performance of all of the obligations of the Lessee due and owing under this Lease and all of the other Operative Documents, this Lease shall, subject to the terms of Section 18.14 hereof, terminate as to the Leased Property.

LESSEE’S PERSONAL PROPERTY
     The Lessee may, from time to time, own or hold under lease from Persons other than the Lessor, furniture, trade fixtures and equipment which is located on or about the Leased Property (collectively, the “Lessee’s Personal Property”). Except as expressly provided in this Article XVI, the Lessor waives any statutory and/or contractual lien on the Lessee’s Personal Property as security for this Lease. At any time during the Lease Term and upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, the Lessee may, at its sole cost and expense, remove any or all of the Lessee’s Personal Property from the Leased Property; provided, however, that the Lessee shall not remove, and the Lessor shall have a lien upon any fixture, equipment or other personal property which has been incorporated in the Leased Property. Any of the Lessee’s Personal Property remaining on the Leased Property following the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease shall be considered abandoned by the Lessee, and, at the election of the Lessor, title thereto shall without further act vest in the Lessor, and may be appropriated, sold, destroyed or otherwise disposed of by the Lessor without notice to the Lessee and without obligation to account therefor and the Lessee will pay the Lessor, upon written demand, all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by the Lessor in removing, storing or disposing of the same and all costs and expenses incurred to repair any damage to the Leased Property caused by such removal. The Lessee shall immediately repair at its expense all damage to the Leased Property caused by any such removal (unless such removal is effected by the Lessor, in which event the Lessee shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by the Lessor for such repairs). The Lessor shall have no liability in exercising its rights under this Article XVI, nor shall the Lessor be responsible for any loss of or damage to the Lessee’s Personal Property in connection therewith.

Any obligation of the Lessor created by or arising out of this Lease other than the Lessor’s obligations under Article XV shall never constitute a general debt of the Lessor but shall be payable solely out of Rent and the

33


 

liability of the Lessor hereunder shall be limited to, the right, title and interest of the Lessor in the Leased Property, any proceeds from the Lessor’s sale or encumbrance thereof, and any Awards or Loss Proceeds (provided, however, that the Lessee shall not be entitled to any double recovery) for the performance of any obligation under this Lease and under the Operative Documents and the satisfaction of any liability arising therefrom.
          SECTION 18.10 Estoppel Certificates. Each party hereto agrees that at any time and from time to time during the Lease Term, it will promptly, but in no event later than fifteen (15) days after request by the other party hereto, execute, acknowledge and deliver to such other party or to any prospective purchaser (if such prospective purchaser has signed a commitment or letter of intent to purchase the Leased Property or any part thereof), assignee or mortgagee or third party designated by such other party, a certificate stating (i) that this Lease is unmodified and in force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that this Lease is in force and effect as modified, and identifying the modification agreements), (ii) the date to which Basic Rent has been paid, (iii) whether or not there is any existing default by the Lessee in the payment of Basic Rent or any Supplemental Rent, and whether or not there is any other existing default by either party with respect to which a notice of default has been served, and, if there is any such default, specifying the nature and extent thereof, (iv) whether or not, to the knowledge of the signer, there are any setoffs, defenses or counterclaims against enforcement of the obligations to be performed hereunder existing in favor of the party executing such certificate and (v) other matters concerning the status of this Lease and of any of the Operative Documents to which the Lessee is a party that may be reasonably requested; provided, however, that no such certificate may be requested unless the requesting party has a good faith reason for such request.
          SECTION 18.11 No Joint Venture. Any intention to create a joint venture or partnership relation between the Lessor and the Lessee is hereby expressly disclaimed.

The acceptance by the Lessor of any sums from the Lessee (whether as Basic Rent or otherwise) in amounts which are less than the amounts due and payable by the Lessee hereunder is not intended, nor shall any such acceptance be construed, to constitute an accord and satisfaction of any dispute between the Lessor and the Lessee regarding sums due and payable by the Lessee hereunder, unless the Lessor specifically deems it as such in writing.
          SECTION 18.13 No Merger. In no event shall the leasehold interests, estates or rights of the Lessee hereunder merge with any interests, estates or rights of the Lessor in or to the Leased Property, it being understood that such leasehold interests, estates and rights of the Lessee hereunder shall be deemed to be separate and distinct from the Lessor’s interests, estates and rights in or to the Leased Property, notwithstanding that any such interests, estates or rights shall at any time or times be held by or vested in the same person, corporation or other entity.
          SECTION 18.14 Survival.

34


 

The extension of any applicable statute of limitations by the Lessor, the Lessee or any Indemnitee shall not affect such survival.
          SECTION 18.15 Chattel Paper. To the extent that this Lease constitutes chattel paper (as such term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code in any applicable jurisdiction), no security interest in this Lease may be created through the transfer or possession of any counterpart other than the original counterpart, which shall be identified as the original counterpart by the receipt of the Lessor on its signature page.
          SECTION 18.16 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Lease.
          SECTION 18.17 Recordation of Lease Supplement. The Lessee will, at its sole cost and expense, cause the Lease Supplement to be recorded in the Real Property Records.

          SECTION 18.18 Security Funds. Any amounts not payable to the Lessee (including amounts paid to or retained by the Lessor), pursuant to any provision of Article IX, XI or XV or other provisions of the Operative Documents or this Section as a result of the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, shall be held by the Lessor as security for the obligations of the Lessee under this Lease and the other Operative Documents. At such time as no Default or Event of Default shall be continuing, such amounts, net of any amounts previously applied to the Lessee’s obligations hereunder or under the other Operative Documents, shall be paid to the Lessee. Any such amounts which are held by the Lessor pending application as provided herein and in the other Operative Documents against the Lessee’s obligations herein and under the Operative Documents or in connection with any exercise of remedies hereunder or thereunder need not be invested but, if invested, may be invested as the Lessor may determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Any gain (including interest received) realized as the result of any such investment (net of any fees, commissions and other expenses, if any, incurred in connection with such investment) shall be applied in the same manner as the principal invested.
          SECTION 18.19 No Illegal Interest to be Charged. All agreements between the Lessee and the Lessor under this Lease and the other Operative Documents are expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Lessor or its successors or assigns for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be advanced to the Lessee exceed the highest rate permissible under law applicable thereto by a court of competent jurisdiction. If, from any circumstances whatever, fulfillment of any provisions of this Lease or any of the Operative Documents at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve payment of interest at a rate that exceeds the highest lawful rate as so determined, then ipso facto the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to such highest lawful rate. If from any circumstances whatsoever, the Lessor or its successors or assigns shall ever receive interest, the amount of which would exceed such highest lawful rate, the portion thereof that would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid Basic Rent; provided, however, that nothing contained herein, in the Participation Agreement, this Lease or any of the Operative Documents shall be deemed to create a defense, contractual or otherwise, to any sums due or to become due or coming due under this Lease, the Participation

35


 

Agreement or any of the Operative Documents where no such defense exists at law, as for example, where corporations are barred from asserting the defense of usury or in a case wherein no limit exists upon the rate of interest that may be charged.
          SECTION 18.20 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Lease or any other Operative Document, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York state court sitting in the borough of Manhattan, and appellate courts from any thereof, (ii) consents that any such action or proceedings may be brought to such courts, and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same, (iii) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such party at its address set forth in Section 8.2 of the Participation Agreement or such other address of which the other parties hereto shall have been notified pursuant to said Section 8.2 and (iv) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law. EACH PARTY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, AMONG OR BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE, ANY OTHER OPERATIVE DOCUMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO. THIS WAIVER SHALL NOT IN ANY WAY AFFECT, WAIVE, LIMIT, AMEND OR MODIFY THE LESSOR’S ABILITY TO PURSUE ANY REMEDIES CONTAINED IN THIS LEASE, THE OTHER OPERATIVE DOCUMENTS OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT OR DOCUMENT RELATED HERETO. IT IS EXPRESSLY UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED BY AND BETWEEN THE LESSEE AND THE LESSOR AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS THAT NOTHING HEREIN CONTAINED SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A COVENANT, STIPULATION, OBLIGATION OR AGREEMENT OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE MEMBER, OFFICER, AGENT, OR EMPLOYEE OF THE LESSOR IN OTHER THAN HIS OFFICIAL CAPACITY, AND NO OFFICER, AGENT OR EMPLOYEE OF THE LESSOR SHALL BE SUBJECT TO ANY PERSONAL LIABILITY OR ACCOUNTABILITY BY REASON OF THE STIPULATIONS, OBLIGATIONS OR AGREEMENTS CONTAINED IN THIS LEASE.

GUARANTY
by
TERREMARK WORLDWIDE INC.,
as Guarantor,
in favor of
CULPEPER LESSOR 2007-1 LLC,
as Lessor
Dated as of February 15, 2007
 

 


 

GUARANTY
     THIS GUARANTY, dated as of February 15, 2007 (this “Guaranty”), is made by TERREMARK WORLDWIDE, INC., a Delaware corporation (in its capacity as guarantor hereunder, “Guarantor”), in favor of CULPEPER LESSOR 2007-1 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (in its capacity as Lessor, the “Lessor”).
W i t n e s s e t h:
     In accordance with the terms and provisions of this Guaranty, the Participation Agreement, the Lease and the other Operative Documents, (i) the Lessor has agreed to acquire the Leased Property, (ii) the Lessor has agreed to lease the Leased Property, and the Lessee has agreed to rent the Leased Property from the Lessor, under the Lease, and (iii) the Lessee has agreed to rent the Leased Property from the Lessor under the Lease.
     It is a condition precedent to the consummation by the Lessor of the transactions to be consummated by the Operative Documents that Guarantor execute and deliver this Guaranty, and it is in the best interests of Guarantor that the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents occur. Guarantor has reviewed and approved the Operative Documents and is fully informed of (a) the extent of the Lessee’s obligations thereunder and (b) the remedies the Lessor may pursue thereunder, with or without notice to Guarantor, and this Guaranty, and the execution, delivery and performance hereof, have been duly authorized by all necessary action of Guarantor.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by Guarantor, Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:
     Section 1. Guaranty. Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Lessor and its successors and assigns (individually a “Beneficiary” and collectively the “Beneficiaries”), the full and prompt payment when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, and the full and prompt performance of, all of the Liabilities (as hereinafter defined), including interest on any such Liabilities, whether accruing before or after any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding involving Guarantor or any other Person, and, if interest on any portion of such obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, including such interest as would have accrued on any such portion of such obligations if such case or proceeding had not commenced, and further agrees to pay all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) paid or incurred by any Beneficiary in endeavoring to collect the Liabilities, or any part thereof, and in enforcing this Guaranty. The term “Liabilities”, as used herein, shall mean all of the following (without duplication), in each case howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, joint or several, absolute or contingent, or now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due and all amounts now or hereafter payable by the Lessee under the Lease and the other Operative Documents (whether or not the Lessee shall be relieved or released from any or all liability or obligations under any of the Operative Documents, except on account of the full

 


 

and indefeasible payment of all the Liabilities and full and strict compliance by Guarantor with its obligations hereunder), plus all costs incurred in enforcing this Guaranty.
     In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state or federal or any other bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or any other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under this Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by Guarantor or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount which is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding.
     This Guaranty shall in all respects constitute an absolute and unconditional guaranty of payment and performance (and not of collection), and shall remain in full force and effect until the full and indefeasible payment and performance of all of the Liabilities and all of the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder (notwithstanding, without limitation, the dissolution of Guarantor). The liability of Guarantor hereunder may be enforced without the Beneficiaries being required to resort to any other right, remedy or security.
     The obligations of Guarantor are independent of any obligations under any of the Operative Documents. Each and every default under any of the Operative Documents shall give rise to a separate claim and cause of action hereunder, and separate claims or suits may be made and brought, as the case may be, hereunder as each such default occurs.
     The Lessor, on behalf of itself and the Beneficiaries, and the Beneficiaries each may, from time to time at its discretion and without notice to Guarantor, take any or all of the following actions: (a) retain or obtain a lien upon or a security interest in any property to secure any of the Liabilities or any obligation hereunder; (b) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligation of any obligor or obligors, in addition to Guarantor, with respect to any of the Liabilities; (c) extend or renew for one or more periods (regardless of whether longer than the original period), alter or exchange any of the Liabilities, or release or compromise any obligation of Guarantor hereunder or any obligation of any nature of any other obligor with respect to any of the Liabilities; (d) release or fail to perfect its lien upon or security interest in, or impair, surrender, release or permit any substitution or exchange for, all or any part of any property securing any of the Liabilities or any obligation hereunder, or extend or renew for one or more periods (regardless of whether longer than the original period) or release, compromise, alter or exchange any obligations of any nature of any obligor with respect to any such property; and (e) resort to Guarantor for payment of any of the Liabilities, regardless of whether the Lessor or any other Person shall have resorted to any other Person or to any property securing any of the Liabilities or any obligation hereunder or shall have proceeded against any other obligor primarily or secondarily obligated with respect to any of the Liabilities (all of the actions referred to in this paragraph being hereby expressly waived by Guarantor).
     Section 2. Guarantor’s Obligations Unconditional. Guarantor’s obligations hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other Person under the Operative Documents, and each Beneficiary may enforce any of its rights hereunder independently of any

-2-


 

other right or remedy that it may at any time hold with respect to the Liabilities or any security or other guaranty therefor. Such obligations shall be absolute and unconditional, shall not be subject to any counterclaim, setoff, deduction, diminution, abatement, recoupment, suspension, deferment, reduction or defense (other than full and indefeasible payment and performance of all of the Liabilities and full and strict compliance by Guarantor with its obligations hereunder), whether based upon any claim that the Lessee, the Guarantor or any other Person may have against any Beneficiary or any other Person or otherwise, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, discharged or in any way affected by, any circumstance or condition whatsoever (whether or not Guarantor or any other Person shall have any knowledge or notice thereof) including, without limitation:
     (A) any amendment, modification, addition, deletion, supplement or renewal to or of or other change in the Liabilities or any Operative Document or any of the agreements referred to in any thereof, or any other instrument or agreement applicable to any Operative Document or any of the parties to such agreements, or to the Leased Property, or any assignment, mortgage, encumbrance or transfer thereof or of any interest therein, or any furnishing or acceptance of additional security for, guaranty of or right of offset with respect to, any of the Liabilities, or the failure of any security or the failure of any Beneficiary or any other Person to perfect or insure any interest in any collateral;
     (B) any failure, impossibility, illegality, omission or delay on the part of the Lessor, any Beneficiary or any other Person to conform or comply with any term of any instrument or agreement referred to in clause (A) above;

     (G) any merger or consolidation of Guarantor into or with any other Person, or any sale, lease or transfer of any of the assets of Guarantor to any other Person;

     (L) any other occurrence or circumstance whatsoever (other than full and indefeasible payment and performance of all of the Liabilities and all of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder), whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, and any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable defense or discharge of the liabilities of a guarantor or surety or that might otherwise limit recourse against Guarantor.
     The obligations of Guarantor set forth herein constitute the full recourse obligations of Guarantor enforceable against it to the full extent of all its assets and properties, notwithstanding any provision in any Operative Document or any other document or agreement to the contrary.
     Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Liabilities and notice of or proof of reliance by the Lessor, any Beneficiary or any other Person upon this Guaranty or acceptance of this Guaranty, and the Liabilities, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guaranty. Guarantor unconditionally waives, to the extent permitted by law: (a) acceptance of this Guaranty and proof of reliance by any Beneficiary or any other Person hereon; (b) notice of any of the matters referred to in clauses (A) through (I) above, or any right to consent or assent to any thereof; (c) all notices that may be required by statute, rule of law or otherwise, now or hereafter in effect, to preserve intact any rights against Guarantor, including, without limitation, any demand, presentment, protest, proof or notice of nonpayment under any Operative Document, and notice of default or any failure on the part of and Person to perform and comply with any covenant, agreement, term or condition of any Operative Document; (d) any right to the

-4-


 

enforcement, assertion or exercise against the Lessee of any right, power, privilege or remedy conferred in any Operative Document or otherwise; (e) any requirement of diligence on the part of any Person; (f) any requirement of any Beneficiary or any other Person to take any action whatsoever, to exhaust any remedies, proceed first against the Lessee or to mitigate the damages resulting from a default by any Person under any Operative Document; (g) any notice of any sale, transfer or other disposition by any Person of any right under, title to or interest in any Operative Document or the Leased Property; and (h) any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge, release or defense of a guarantor or surety, or that might otherwise limit recourse against Guarantor.
     Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of itself or the Lessee is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any Beneficiary, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise.
     Guarantor further agrees that, without limiting the generality of this Guaranty, if any default under any Operative Document shall have occurred and any Beneficiary is prevented by applicable law from exercising its remedies under the Operative Documents, such Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive hereunder from Guarantor, upon demand therefor, the sums which would have otherwise been due had such remedies been exercised.
     In addition, Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Lessee and of all the circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Liabilities that diligent inquiry would reveal, and that absent a request for such information by Guarantor, the Beneficiaries shall have no duty to advise Guarantor of information known to them regarding such condition or any such circumstance.
     Section 3. Waivers.
          (a) Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Lessee arising from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty or any other Operative Document, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, exoneration, or indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Beneficiary against the Lessee, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law. If any amount shall be paid to Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Liabilities shall not have been indefeasibly paid in cash, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for, the Beneficiaries, and shall forthwith be paid to the Lessor to be credited and applied pursuant to the terms of the Operative Documents. Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Operative Documents and that the waiver set forth in this paragraph is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
          (b) Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any defense based upon an election of remedies by Lessor or any other Beneficiary or other Person.

-5-


 

          (c) Guarantor hereby waives all rights and defenses that the Guarantor may have because any of the Liabilities is secured by real property. This means, among other things:
     (i) the Beneficiaries may collect from Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the Lessee;
     (ii) if the Beneficiaries foreclose on any real property collateral pledged with respect to the Liabilities: (A) the amount of the Liabilities may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price; (B) the Beneficiaries may collect from Guarantor even if the Beneficiaries, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, have destroyed any right Guarantor may have to collect from the Lessee. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Guarantor may have because the Liabilities are secured by real property.
          (d) Guarantor hereby waives the pleading of any statute of limitation as a defense to its obligations hereunder.
     Section 4. Reasonableness and Effect of Waivers. Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth in this Guaranty is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that, under the circumstances, the waivers are reasonable and not contrary to public policy or law. If any of such waivers are determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waivers shall be effective only to the maximum extent permitted by law.
     Section 5. Transfers by Beneficiaries. Each Beneficiary may, from time to time, whether before or after any discontinuance of this Guaranty, at its sole discretion and without notice to Guarantor, assign or transfer any or all of its portion of the Liabilities or any interest therein in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Operative Documents, and, notwithstanding any such assignment or transfer or any subsequent assignment or transfer thereof, such Liabilities shall be and remain Liabilities for the purposes of this Guaranty, and each and every immediate and successive assignee or transferee of any of the Liabilities or of any interest therein shall, to the extent of such assignee’s or transferee’s interest in the Liabilities, be entitled to the benefits of this Guaranty to the same extent as if such assignee or transferee were such Beneficiary.
     Section 6. No Waiver by Beneficiaries. No delay in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy; nor shall any modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Guaranty be binding upon any Beneficiary except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered on its behalf. No action permitted hereunder shall in any way affect or impair any Beneficiary’s rights or Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty. For the purposes of this Guaranty, Liabilities shall include all of the obligations described in the definition thereof, notwithstanding any right or power of Guarantor or anyone else to assert any claim or defense as to the invalidity or unenforceability of any such obligation, and no such claim or defense shall affect or impair the

-6-


 

obligations of Guarantor hereunder. Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of any circumstance whatsoever which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of Guarantor other than proof of indefeasible satisfaction or indefeasible payment in full of the Liabilities guaranteed hereunder. Guarantor hereby acknowledges that there are no conditions to the effectiveness of this Guaranty.
     Section 7. Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor and upon Guarantor’s successors and assigns, and all references herein to Guarantor shall be deemed to include any successor or successors, whether immediate or remote, to such Person.
     Section 8. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Guaranty shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under all Laws, but if any provision of this Guaranty shall be prohibited by or invalid thereunder, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Guaranty.
     Section 9. Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals, certificate or other communications required under this Guaranty to be in writing shall be sufficiently given and shall be deemed to have been properly given (i) if delivered by hand, when written confirmation of delivery is received by the sender, (ii) three days after the same is mailed by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or (iii) if sent by overnight courier, twenty-four (24) hours after delivery to such overnight courier, addressed to the person to whom any such notice, demand, request, approval, certificate or other communication is to be given, at the appropriate address of such person as designated below:
