Operation of the Business Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, Seller shall:
Inspection; Compliance with Law Lessor, Lessor's agents, employees, contractors and designated representatives, and the holders of any mortgages, deeds of trust or ground leases on the Premises ("Lenders") shall have the right to enter the Premises at any time in the case of an emergency, and otherwise at reasonable times, for the purpose of inspecting the condition of the Premises and for verifying compliance by Lessee with this Lease and all Applicable Requirements (as defined in Paragraph 6.3), and Lessor shall be entitled to employ experts and/or consultants in connection therewith to advise Lessor with respect to Lessee's activities, including but not limited to Lessee's installation, operation, use, monitoring, maintenance, or removal of any Hazardous Substance on or from the Premises. The costs and expenses of any such inspections shall be paid by the party requesting same, unless a Default or Breach of this Lease by Lessee or a violation of Applicable Requirements or a contamination, caused or materially contributed to by Lessee, is found to exist or to be imminent, or unless the inspection is requested or ordered by a governmental authority as the result of any such existing or imminent violation or contamination. In such case, Lessee shall upon request reimburse Lessor or Lessor's Lender, as the case may be, for the costs and expenses of such inspections.
Operation of the Property During the Term, NAI shall operate the Property in a good and workmanlike manner and substantially in compliance with all Applicable Laws and will pay or cause to be paid all fees or charges of any kind in connection therewith. (If NAI does not promptly correct any failure of the Property to comply with Applicable Laws that is the subject of a written notice given to NAI or BNPLC by any governmental authority, then for purposes of the preceding sentence, NAI shall be considered not to have maintained the Property "substantially in accordance with Applicable Laws" whether or not the noncompliance would be substantial in the absence of the notice.) During the Term, NAI shall not use or occupy, or allow the use or occupancy of, the Property in any manner which violates any Applicable Law or which constitutes a public or private nuisance or which makes void, voidable or cancelable any insurance then in force with respect thereto. During the Term, to the extent that any of the following would, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect the value of the Property or NAI's use, occupancy or operations on the Property, NAI shall not, without BNPLC's prior consent: (i) initiate or permit any zoning reclassification of the Property; (ii) seek any variance under existing zoning ordinances applicable to the Property; (iii) use or permit the use of the Property in a manner that would result in such use becoming a nonconforming use under applicable zoning ordinances or similar laws, rules or regulations; (iv) execute or file any subdivision plat affecting the Property; or (v) consent to the annexation of the Property to any municipality. If (A) a change in the zoning or other Applicable Laws affecting the permitted use or development of the Property shall occur after the Base Rent Commencement Date that reduces the value of the Property, or (B) conditions or circumstances on or about the Property are discovered after the Base Rent Commencement Date (such as the presence of an endangered species) which substantially impede development and thereby reduce the value of the Property, and if after any such reduction under clause (A) or (B) preceding the Current AS IS Market Value of the Property is less than sixty percent (60%) of Stipulated Loss Value, then NAI shall pay BNPLC upon request the amount by which Current AS IS Market Value is less than sixty percent (60%) of Stipulated Loss Value, for application as a Qualified Prepayment. During the Term, NAI shall not cause or permit any drilling or exploration for, or extraction, removal or production of, minerals from the surface or subsurface of the Property, and NAI shall not do any act whereby the market value of the Property may reasonably be expected to be materially lessened. During the Term, if NAI receives a written notice or claim from any federal, state or other governmental entity that the Property is not in compliance in any material respect with any Applicable Law, or that any action may be taken against the owner of the Property because the Property does not comply with Applicable Law, NAI shall promptly furnish a copy of such notice or claim to BNPLC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, NAI may in good faith, by appropriate proceedings, contest the validity and applicability of any Applicable Law with respect to the Property, and pending such contest NAI shall not be deemed in default hereunder because of the violation of such Applicable Law, if NAI diligently prosecutes such contest to completion in a manner reasonably satisfactory to BNPLC, and if NAI promptly causes the Property to comply with any such Applicable Law upon a final determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that the same is valid and applicable to the Property; provided, however, in any event such contest shall be concluded and the violation of such Applicable Law must be corrected by NAI and any claims asserted against BNPLC or the Property because of such violation must be paid by NAI, all prior to the earlier of (i) the date that any criminal prosecution is instituted or overtly threatened against BNPLC or any of its directors, officers or employees because of such violation, (ii) the date that any action is taken by any governmental authority against BNPLC or any property owned by BNPLC (including the Property) because of such violation, or (iii) a Designated Sale Date upon which, for any reason, NAI or an Affiliate of NAI or any Applicable Purchaser shall not purchase BNPLC's interest in the Property pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for a price to BNPLC (when taken together with any additional payments made by NAI pursuant to Paragraph 1(A)(2) of the Purchase Agreement, in the case of a purchase by an Applicable Purchaser) equal to the Break Even Price.
