If Landlord (including any permitted successor Landlord) shall convey the entire Leased Property or the entire Leased Property with respect to an individual Facility (or Facilities, as applicable) (subject, in each case, to exclusions for assets that may not be transferred and that, in the aggregate, are de minimis) in accordance with the terms of this Lease, other than as security for a debt, and the applicable Acquirer expressly assumes all obligations of Landlord arising after the date of the conveyance, Landlord shall thereupon be released from all future liabilities and obligations of Landlord under this Lease with respect to the transferred portion of the Leased Property arising or accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or other transfer and all such future liabilities and obligations relating to such transferred Leased Property shall thereupon be binding upon such applicable Acquirer. Without limitation of the preceding provisions of this Section 18.1, any or all of the following shall be freely permitted to occur (and, for the avoidance of doubt, except in the case of subclause (b) of the following clause (i), neither a Severance Lease nor a Severance Guaranty shall be required to be entered into with respect thereto): (i) any transfer of (a) the entire Leased Property or (b) the entire Leased Property with respect to an individual Facility to a Fee Mortgagee (in each case, subject to exclusions for assets that may not be transferred and that, in the aggregate, are de minimis) in accordance with the terms of this Lease (including any transfer of the direct or indirect equity interests in Landlord), which transfer may include, without limitation, a transfer by foreclosure brought by the Fee Mortgagee or a transfer by a deed in lieu of foreclosure, assignment in lieu of foreclosure or other transaction in lieu of foreclosure; (ii) a merger transaction or other similar disposition affecting Landlord REIT or a sale by Landlord REIT directly or indirectly involving the Leased Property (so long as (x) upon consummation of such transaction, all of the Leased Property (subject to exclusions for assets that may not be transferred and that, in the aggregate, are de minimis) is owned by a single Person (or multiple Affiliated Persons as tenants in common) and (y) such surviving Person(s) execute(s) an assumption of this Lease and all Lease Related Agreements to which Landlord is a party, assuming all obligations of Landlord hereunder and thereunder (if any) (in the case of multiple Affiliated Persons, on a joint and several basis), the form and substance of which assumption shall be reasonably satisfactory to Tenant and Landlord); (iii) a sale/leaseback transaction by Landlord with respect to all of the Leased Property pertaining to any Facility or Facilities (subject to exclusions for assets that may not be transferred and that, in the aggregate, are de minimis) (provided (x) the overlandlord under the resulting xxxxxxxxx agrees that, in the event of a termination of such xxxxxxxxx, this Lease shall continue in effect as a direct lease between such overlandlord and Tenant and (y) the xxxxxxxxx shall not impose any new, additional or more onerous obligations on Tenant without Tenant’s prior written consent in Tenant’s sole discretion (and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the xxxxxxxxx shall not impose any additional monetary obligations (whether for payment of rents under such xxxxxxxxx or otherwise) on Tenant), subject to and in accordance with all of the provisions, terms and conditions of this Lease; (iv) any sale of any indirect interest in the Leased Property in respect of any Facility or Facilities that does not change the identity of Landlord hereunder, including without limitation a participating interest in Landlord’s interest (or the interest of any of the fee owning entities comprising Landlord) under this Lease or a sale of Landlord’s (or any such fee owning entity’s or entities’) reversionary interest in the Leased Property (or the applicable Leased Property pertaining to any individual Facility) so long as Landlord remains the only party with authority to bind Landlord under this Lease, or (v) a sale or transfer to an Affiliate of Landlord or a joint venture entity in which any Affiliate of Landlord is the managing member or partner, so long as (x) upon consummation of such transaction, all of the Leased Property (in the case of a sale or transfer of the Leased Property with respect to all of the Facilities), or all of the Leased Property pertaining to an individual Facility (in the case of a sale or transfer of the Leased Property with respect to an individual Facility) (subject, in each case, to exclusions for assets that may not be transferred and that, in the aggregate, are de minimis) is owned by a single Person or multiple Affiliated Persons as tenants in common and (y) such Person(s) execute(s) an assumption of this Lease and all Lease Related Agreements to which Landlord is a party, assuming all obligations of Landlord hereunder and thereunder (if any) (in the case of multiple Affiliated Persons, on a joint and several basis), the form and substance of which assumption shall be reasonably satisfactory to Tenant and Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord shall not sell, assign, transfer or convey any Leased Property, or assign this Lease, to (I) a Tenant Prohibited Person or (II) any Person that is associated with a Person who has been found “unsuitable”, denied a Gaming License or otherwise precluded from participation in the Gaming Industry by any Gaming Authority where such association would reasonably be expected to adversely affect, any of Tenant’s or its Affiliates’ Gaming Licenses or Tenant’s or its Affiliates’ then-current standing with any Gaming Authority. Any transfer by Landlord under this Article XVIII shall be subject to all applicable Legal Requirements, including any Gaming Regulations, and no such transfer shall be effective until any applicable approvals with respect to Gaming Regulations, if applicable, are obtained.

Distributions Generally (a) Subject to Section 7.01 respecting the final distribution on the Certificates, on each Distribution Date the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall make distributions in accordance with this Article V. Such distributions shall be made by check mailed to each Certificateholder's address as it appears on the Certificate Register of the Certificate Registrar or, upon written request made to the Securities Administrator at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date by any Certificateholder owning an aggregate initial Certificate Principal Amount of at least $1,000,000, or in the case of a Class of Interest-Only Certificates or Residual Certificate, a Percentage Interest of not less than 100%, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account specified in the request and at the expense of such Certificateholder; provided, however, that the final distribution in respect of any Certificate shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Certificate Registrar's Corporate Trust Office; provided, further, that the foregoing provisions shall not apply to any Class of Certificates as long as such Certificate remains a Book-Entry Certificate in which case all payments made shall be made through the Clearing Agency and its Clearing Agency Participants.

Directors, Trustees and Shareholders and Massachusetts Business Trust It is understood and is expressly stipulated that neither the holders of shares in the Fund nor any Directors or Trustees of the Fund shall be personally liable hereunder. With respect to any Fund which is a party to this Agreement and which is organized as a Massachusetts business trust (“Trust”), the term “Fund” means and refers to the trust established by its applicable trust agreement (Declaration of Trust) as the same may be amended from time to time. It is expressly agreed that the obligations of any such Trust hereunder shall not be binding upon any of the trustees, shareholders, nominees, officers, agents or employees of the Trust, personally, but bind only the trust property of the Trust, as provided in the Declaration of Trust of the Trust.

(i) pay directly to the relevant Governmental Authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;
(ii) promptly forward to the Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Agent evidencing such payment to such Governmental Authority; and
(iii) pay to the Agent for its account or the account of the applicable Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Agent or such Lender will equal the full amount that the Agent or such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.
Right to Acquire Limited Partner Interests (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if at any time the General Partner and its Affiliates hold more than 80% of the total Limited Partner Interests of any class then Outstanding, the General Partner shall then have the right, which right it may assign and transfer in whole or in part to the Partnership or any Affiliate of the General Partner, exercisable at its option, to purchase all, but not less than all, of such Limited Partner Interests of such class then Outstanding held by Persons other than the General Partner and its Affiliates, at the greater of (x) the Current Market Price as of the date three days prior to the date that the notice described in Section 15.1(b) is mailed and (y) the highest price paid by the General Partner or any of its Affiliates for any such Limited Partner Interest of such class purchased during the 90-day period preceding the date that the notice described in Section 15.1(b) is mailed.
