DETERMINATION OF BREACH AND TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT A. Prior to making a determination that the Applicant has failed to comply in any material respect with the terms of this Agreement or to meet any material obligation under this Agreement, the District shall provide the Applicant with a written notice of the facts which it believes have caused the breach of this Agreement, and if cure is possible, the cure proposed by the District. After receipt of the notice, the Applicant shall be given ninety (90) days to present any facts or arguments to the Board of Trustees showing that it is not in breach of its obligations under this Agreement, or that it has cured or undertaken to cure any such breach.
B. If the Board of Trustees is not satisfied with such response or that such breach has been cured, then the Board of Trustees shall, after reasonable notice to the Applicant, conduct a hearing called and held for the purpose of determining whether such breach has occurred and, if so, whether such breach has been cured. At any such hearing, the Applicant shall have the opportunity, together with their counsel, to be heard before the Board of Trustees. At the hearing, the Board of Trustees shall make findings as to:
i. whether or not a breach of this Agreement has occurred;
ii. whether or not such breach is a Material Breach; iii. the date such breach occurred, if any;
Non-Violation The execution and delivery of this Amendment and the performance and observance by it of the terms and provisions hereof (a) do not violate or contravene its Organization Documents or any applicable Laws or (b) conflict with or result in a breach or contravention of any provision of, or constitute a default under, any other agreement, instrument or document binding upon or enforceable against it.
Determination of Entitlement (a) Where there has been a written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 5.01(b), then as soon as is reasonably practicable (but in any event not later than 60 days) after final disposition of the relevant Proceeding, a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case: (i) if a Change of Control shall not have occurred, (A) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Board, (B) by a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Board, (C) if there are no such Disinterested Directors or, if such Disinterested Directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee; or (ii) if a Change of Control shall have occurred, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee. If it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within ten (10) days after such determination. Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification).
(b) If entitlement to indemnification is to be determined by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(ii), such Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee, and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. If entitlement to indemnification is to be determined by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(i)(C) (or if Indemnitee requests that such selection be made by the Board), such Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Company in which case the Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising him or her of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. In either event, Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be, may, within 10 days after such written notice of selection shall have been received, deliver to the Company or to Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 1 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If such written objection is so made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court of competent jurisdiction has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within 20 days after the later of submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 5.01(b) hereof and the final disposition of the Proceeding, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Company or Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 5.02(a) hereof.

(c) The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of any Independent Counsel serving under this Agreement.
Determination of Value (a) Whenever a determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value is required pursuant to any provision of this Lease, such Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value shall be determined in accordance with the following procedure:
(i) Landlord and Tenant shall endeavor to agree upon such Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value within thirty (30) days after the date (the “Applicable Initial Date”) on which (A) Tenant provides Landlord with notice of its intention to terminate this Lease and purchase the Affected Premises pursuant to Paragraph 18, (B) Landlord provides Tenant with notice of its intention to redetermine Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value pursuant to Paragraph 20(c) or (C) Landlord provides Tenant with notice of Landlord’s intention to require Tenant to make an offer to purchase the Leased Premises pursuant to Paragraph 23(a)(iii). Landlord and Tenant shall endeavor to agree on Fair Market Rental Value during the period following receipt by Landlord of a Notice of Interest to Renew and prior to the latest date for Tenant to deliver a Renewal Notice. Upon reaching such agreement, the parties shall execute an agreement setting forth the amount of such Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value.
(ii) If the parties shall not have signed such agreement (A) within thirty (30) days after the Applicable Initial Date or (B) with respect to a renewal option, during the period following Tenant’s delivery of a Notice of Intent to Renew and, with respect to a Renewal Term, Tenant has nonetheless delivered a Renewal Notice, Tenant shall within fifty (50) days after the Applicable Initial Date or the date of the Renewal Notice, as applicable, select an appraiser and notify Landlord in writing of the name, address and qualifications of such appraiser. Within twenty (20) days following Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice of the appraiser selected by Tenant, Landlord shall select an appraiser and notify Tenant of the name, address and qualifications of such appraiser. Such two appraisers shall endeavor to agree upon Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value based on a written appraisal made by each of them as of the Relevant Date (and given to Landlord by Tenant). If such two appraisers shall agree upon a Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value, the amount of such Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value as so agreed shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant.
(iii) If such two appraisers shall be unable to agree upon a Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value within twenty (20) days after the selection of an appraiser by Landlord, then such appraisers shall advise Landlord and Tenant of their respective determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value and shall select a third appraiser to make the determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value. The selection of the third appraiser shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant.
(iv) If such two appraisers shall be unable to agree upon the designation of a third appraiser within ten (10) days after the expiration of the twenty (20) day period referred to in clause (iii) above, or if such third appraiser does not make a determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value within twenty (20) days after his selection, then such third appraiser or a substituted third appraiser, as applicable, shall, at the request of either party hereto (with respect to the other party), be appointed by the President or Chairman of the American Arbitration Association in New York, New York. The determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value made by the third appraiser appointed pursuant hereto shall be made within twenty (20) days after such appointment.
(v) If a third appraiser is selected, Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value shall be the average of the determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value made by the third appraiser and the determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value made by the appraiser (selected pursuant to Paragraph 29(a)(ii) hereof) whose determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value is nearest to that of the third appraiser. Such average shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant.
(vi) All appraisers selected or appointed pursuant to this Paragraph 29(a) shall (A) be independent qualified MAI appraisers (B) have no right, power or authority to alter or modify the provisions of this Lease, (C) utilize the definition of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value hereinabove set forth above, and (D) be registered in the State if the State provides for or requires such registration.
(vii) The Cost of the procedure described in this Paragraph 29(a) above shall be borne equally by Tenant and Landlord except that if the appraisals are conducted as a result of an Event of Default, the Cost shall be borne solely by Tenant.
(b) If, by virtue of any delay, Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value is not determined by the expiration or termination of the then current Term, then the date on which the Term would otherwise expire or terminate shall be extended with respect to the Leased Premises or the Affected Premises, as applicable, to the date specified for termination in the particular provision of this Lease pursuant to which the determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value is being made. If, by virtue of any delay, Fair Market Rental Value is not determined by the expiration or termination of the then current Term, then until Fair Market Rental Value is determined, Tenant shall continue to pay Basic Rent during the succeeding Renewal Term in the same amount which it was obligated under this Lease to pay prior to the commencement of the Renewal Term. When Fair Market Rental Value is determined, the appropriate Basic Rent shall be calculated retroactive to the commencement of the Renewal Term and Tenant shall either receive a refund from Landlord (in the case of an overpayment) or shall pay any deficiency to Landlord (in the case of an underpayment).
(c) In determining Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value as defined in clause (b) of the definition of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value, the appraisers shall add (a) the present value of the Rent for the remaining Term, assuming the Term has been extended for all extension periods provided herein (with assumed increases in the CPI to be determined by the appraisers) using a discount rate (which may be determined by an investment banker retained by each appraiser) based on the creditworthiness of Tenant and (b) the present value of the Leased Premises as of the end of such Term (having assumed the Term has been extended for all extension periods provided herein). The appraisers shall further assume that no default then exists under the Lease, that Tenant has complied (and will comply) with all provisions of the Lease.
(d) In determining Fair Market Rental Value, the appraisers shall determine with respect to each Related Premises the amount that a willing tenant would pay, and a willing landlord of a comparable building located in a radius of 125 miles of each Related Premises would accept, at arm’s length, to rent a building of comparable size and quality as the Improvements, taking into account: (a) the age, quality, condition (as required by the Lease) of the Improvements; (b) that the Leased Premises will be leased as a whole or substantially as a whole to a single user; (c) a lease term of five (5) years; (d) an absolute triple net lease; and (e) such other items that professional real estate appraisers customarily consider.
Independence from Material Breach Determination Except as set forth in Section X.D.1.c, these provisions for payment of Stipulated Penalties shall not affect or otherwise set a standard for OIG’s decision that Xxxxx has materially breached this IA, which decision shall be made at OIG’s discretion and shall be governed by the provisions in Section X.D, below.
