3.5.1 Lease Amendments. Sellers and Purchaser hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) the term under the Beaver Creek Ground Lease (the “Beaver Creek Ground Lease Term”) expires on April 30, 2024, there are no extension terms available under such Lease, and the Beaver Creek Ground Lease Term is inadequate for Purchaser’s business purposes, (ii) the term under the Xxxxxxxx Ground Lease (the “Xxxxxxxx Ground Lease Term”) expires on April 30, 2024, there are no extension terms available under such Lease, and the Xxxxxxxx Ground Lease Term is inadequate for Purchaser’ business purposes, and (iii) the term under the Harborage Docks Lease (the “Harborage Docks Lease Term”) expires on December 31, 2011, there are no extension terms available under such Lease, and the Harborage Docks Lease Term is inadequate for Purchaser’s business purposes. Accordingly, in the event that the respective Seller cannot, on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, obtain an agreement upon commercially reasonable

terms by the Department to extend the Beaver Creek Ground Lease Term or the Xxxxxxxx Ground Lease Term and/or grant one or more renewal options under the terms of such applicable Lease(s) to extend the Beaver Creek Ground Lease Term or the Xxxxxxxx Ground Lease Term, for a period not less than twenty-five (25) years from the Closing Date hereunder, or an agreement upon commercially reasonable terms by the City to extend the Harborage Docks Lease Term and/or grant one or more renewal options under the terms of such applicable Lease to extend the Harborage Docks Lease Term, for a period not less than twenty (20) years from the Closing Date hereunder, such agreements to be evidenced by a written amendment to the Beaver Creek Ground Lease (the “Beaver Creek Ground Lease Amendment”), the Xxxxxxxx Ground Lease (the “Xxxxxxxx Ground Lease Amendment”) and the Harborage Docks Lease (the “Harborage Docks Lease Amendment”) (the Beaver Creek Ground Lease Amendment, the Xxxxxxxx Ground Lease Amendment and the Harborage Docks Lease Amendment are hereinafter individually a “Lease Amendment” and collectively, the “Lease Amendments”), which Lease Amendments shall be in form and substance acceptable to Purchaser, in Purchaser’s reasonable discretion and fully-executed and delivered to Purchaser prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then the remaining terms of this Section 3.5 shall govern. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in the event that the Harborage Docks Lease Amendment contains any purchase or repurchase option exercisable by the lessor thereunder, or its successors or assignees, at any time prior to the expiration of the contemplated 20-year lease term thereof, such Harborage Docks Lease Amendment is hereby deemed to be inadequate for Purchaser’s business purposes and Purchaser shall not have any further right or option to then acquire the Harborage Site and the Assets pertaining thereto under the terms of this Section 3.5 or otherwise, unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Seller of the Harborage Site.
3.5.2 Lease Amendments.
(a) Harborage Docks Lease Amendment. In the event that the respective Seller does not deliver a fully-executed Harborage Docks Lease Amendment prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall have the right to elect by written notice to Sellers within five (5) days following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, to (i) close on the purchase and sale of the Assets related to the Harborage Site notwithstanding Seller’s failure to obtain the applicable Lease Amendment, or (ii) proceed under Section 3.5.3 below. In the event that Purchaser elects to proceed under Section 3.5.3 below, then (a) at the Closing, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of the Purchase Price allocated to the Harborage such Site (such price, as adjusted pursuant to Section 4.8.3 below is referred to herein as the “Reduced Purchase Price”), (b) for purposes of the Closing, this Agreement shall be deemed to have been amended to exclude all references to the Harborage Site, the Assets pertaining thereto, or any obligations of Purchaser or Seller hereunder with respect thereto, except those set forth in Section 3.5.3 and those obligations which otherwise survive according to the terms hereof, (d) for purposes of the Closing, all references to the defined term “Purchase Price” shall be deemed to refer to the “Reduced Purchase Price”, and (e) all fees, costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser and/or any Seller in connection with the aborted acquisition of the Assets related to any such Site shall be included as part of the Acquisition Costs relating to such Site to the extent that Purchaser acquires such Site in accordance with Section 3.5.3 hereof.

In the event that Sellers shall not obtain and deliver such Conditional Approval and Supplemental Approval on or before such Conditional Approval Date, then either Purchaser or Sellers shall have the right to elect, in their sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement, by providing written notice of such termination to the other Parties on or before that date which is five (5) days following the Conditional Approval Date, and in such event, this Agreement shall be terminated, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect, and the Parties shall have no further obligations to the other, except for those obligations or liabilities that expressly survive termination of this Agreement; provided, however, in the event that Sellers elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.5.2(b), Purchaser may elect to proceed to Closing notwithstanding Sellers’ failure to obtain and deliver such Conditional Approval and/or Supplemental Approval on or before the Conditional Approval Date, in which event this Agreement shall not be terminated, and the Parties shall proceed in accordance with the provisions hereof. In the event that Sellers shall not obtain and deliver the Conditional Approval and/or Supplemental Approval on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall have the right, with respect to each Site for which such Conditional Approval and/or Supplemental Approval has not been delivered, to elect, upon written notice to Sellers within five (5) days following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, to (i) close on the purchase and sale of the Assets related to each such Site notwithstanding Sellers’ failure to obtain such Conditional Approval and/or Supplemental Approval, or (ii) proceed under Section 3.5.3 below.

3.5.3 Purchaser’s Option to Extend the Closing for Failure to Obtain the Harborage Docks Lease Amendment, the Beaver Creek Ground Lease Amendment, the Xxxxxxxx Ground Lease Amendment, or Harbors View Estoppel. In the event that the respective Sellers do not deliver a fully-executed Lease Amendment with respect to the Harborage Site as provided for in Section 3.5.2(a), a Conditional Approval and Supplemental Approval with respect to the Beaver
-25-
Creek Site or the Xxxxxxxx Site as provided for in Section 3.5.2(b), or the Third-Party Estoppel from Grand River Dam Authority for the Harbors View Permit with respect to the Harbors View Site as provided for in Section 4.8 below (each affected Site being referred to herein as an “Affected Site”), and Purchaser has elected to proceed under this Section 3.5.3, Purchaser shall have the right, with respect to each Affected Site to extend the date for closing on such Affected Site for up to an additional twelve (12) months in order to provide Seller additional time to obtain the applicable Lease Amendment, Conditional Approval, Supplemental Approval and/or Third Party Estoppel and all terms and conditions and obligations of the Parties hereto with respect to the Assets, the Site or the Business operated thereon as provided for hereunder shall survive and continue in full force and effect up to and including the Affected Site Closing Date (or, if earlier, the date upon which this Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with the express provisions hereof). Within thirty (30) days of Seller’s written notice to Purchaser that it has obtained the applicable Lease Amendment, Conditional Approval, Supplemental Approval and/or Third Party Estoppel with respect to an Affected Site, and subject to the satisfaction of Purchaser’s Closing Conditions set forth in Section 7.1 with respect to the Affected Site (the “Affected Site Closing Conditions”) and subject to any right that the Purchaser or the Sellers may then have to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement, Purchaser shall, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, close (the “Affected Site Closing”) on the purchase and sale of the Assets related to such Affected Site (the “Affected Site Closing Date”) for the Purchase Price allocated to such Site (the “Affected Site Purchase Price”), as set forth in Schedule 3.4 hereto. In the event that Purchaser shall elect to proceed under this Section 3.5.3 with respect to any Affected Site, (a) a portion of the Deposit equal to FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($500,000.00) shall be credited against and used to fund the Reduced Price at the Closing and the remainder of the Deposit (the “Remaining Deposit”) shall not be credited against the Reduced Purchase Price but shall be retained by Escrow Agent and shall be credited against the Affected Site Purchase Price on the last Affected Site Closing Date occurring hereunder and (b) upon an Affected Site Closing, all fees, costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser and/or any Seller in connection with the acquisition of the Assets related to the Affected Site shall be included as part of Acquisition Costs in accordance with Section 9.7 hereof. If the respective Seller shall provide written notice to Purchaser that it has obtained the applicable Lease Amendment, Conditional Approval, Supplemental Approval and/or Third Party Estoppel and the Affected Site Closing Conditions shall have been fully satisfied with respect to an Affected Site, in the event that Purchaser shall default on its obligation to close on the purchase of such Assets on the Affected Site Closing Date, the Remaining Deposit shall be forfeited by Purchaser and Escrow Agent shall deliver the Remaining Deposit to Seller, Purchaser shall have no further right to acquire any Affected Sites hereunder and neither party shall have any further obligations to the other hereunder, except for those obligations which otherwise survive according to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may elect, in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, at any time following the Closing Date hereunder and upon thirty (30) days written notice to the respective Seller, to proceed to close on the purchase and sale of the Assets related to all Affected Sites notwithstanding such Seller’s continued failure to obtain any applicable Lease Amendment, Conditional Approval, Supplemental Approval and/or Third Party Estoppel (and notwithstanding the failure of any Affected Site Closing Condition relating thereto), at which time the Remaining Deposit shall be credited against the Affected Site Purchase Prices. In

3.5.4 Cooperation.

4.2 Matters Relating to Title.
4.2.1 Status of Title. Within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date hereof, Purchaser shall obtain a current title commitment to be issued by the Title Company with respect to the Land and the other Real Property interests hereunder, together with legible copies of all title exception documents (the “Title Commitment(s)”), as well as the Surveys, the reasonable expense of which shall be a Purchaser expense and included within Acquisition Costs under Section 9.7. Within fifteen (15) days of the Purchaser’s receipt of all of the Title Commitment(s) and the Surveys, the Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a written Notice specifying any defects in or objections to the title shown in the Title Commitments or the Surveys which in the Purchaser’s reasonable judgment adversely affect the Real Property which is the subject of such Title Commitment(s) or Surveys (the “Title Notice”). Any (a) lien or other exception contained in the Title Commitment(s) to which Purchaser timely objects, and (b) any encroachment by improvements on adjoining properties onto or over the Land or any encroachment of the Improvements onto or over adjoining properties, setback lines or easements (to the extent in violation thereof), or any other survey defects which adversely affect title to any of the Real Property, which are not otherwise Permitted Encumbrances, shall individually constitute a “Title Defect”, and collectively constitute the “Title Defects”. The Sellers shall notify the Purchaser in writing (the “Sellers’ Title Response”) within ten (10) days of the Sellers’ receipt of the Title Notice whether the Sellers will, exercising diligent efforts, cure any or all of the Title Defects as set forth in the Title Notice and which Title Defects, if less than all, Sellers will agree to cure. No Seller shall have any obligation to cure any Title Defect, but if Sellers shall agree, at their option, in the Sellers’ Title Response to cure any or all of the Title Defects, Sellers shall do so on or prior to the Closing Date at their own cost and expense, but subject to reimbursement
-29-
of such cost and expense at Closing as an Acquisition Cost (other than the payoff of any lien or other exception securing the payment of money, which shall not be included within the Acquisition Costs). If Sellers do not agree in the Sellers’ Title Response to cure all of the Title Defects, then Purchaser may, at its option and as its sole and exclusive remedy, within five (5) days following the earlier of Purchaser’s receipt of Sellers’ Title Response or the expiration of Sellers’ ten (10) day response period described above (the “Title Review Expiration Period”), either (1) terminate this Agreement by giving Sellers written notice thereof, and in such event the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Purchaser, or (2) waive the Title Defects which Sellers have not elected to cure and proceed to consummate the purchase of the Assets subject to the uncured objections. Upon Purchaser’s failure to timely object to any of the Title Commitment(s) or the Surveys or to the extent otherwise waived by Purchaser hereunder, all matters shown on the Title Commitments or the Surveys shall thereafter be deemed a “Permitted Encumbrance” with respect to such Real Property. If the Sellers shall agree to cure any or all of the Title Defects, but are unable to complete the cure of same on or before Closing Date hereunder, the Purchaser shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to elect, upon written Notice to the Sellers, to either (i) postpone the Closing Date for a reasonable period not to exceed thirty (30) days to provide Sellers a reasonable opportunity to either (A) cure such uncured Title Defect(s) Sellers have previously agreed to cure, or (B) if Purchaser shall agree, in its reasonable discretion, to accept any available affirmative title insurance coverage with respect to such Title Defect, which affirmative title insurance coverage shall be at Sellers’ cost and expense to be reimbursed at Closing as an Acquisition Cost, and Sellers shall, in such event, provide Title Company such assurances as the Title Company may require to provide such affirmative title coverage and insure the Purchaser against any loss arising from such uncured Title Defect, or (ii) to proceed pursuant to Section 4.2.2 below.
4.2.2 Failure of Title. If on the Closing Date title to the Real Property is not insurable or is subject to any uncured Title Defect not otherwise deemed to constitute a Permitted Encumbrance in accordance with the foregoing, and if Sellers are unable or unwilling to cure the same, the Purchaser may elect, as its sole right and remedy, either (a) to accept such title to the Real Property as the respective Seller holds, with no abatement of the Purchase Price (except to the extent of monetary liens of a definite, fixed and ascertainable amount not in excess of the Purchase Price), or (b) to terminate this Agreement and proceed pursuant to Section 10.1 below.
4.2.3 Updated Title Commitment or Survey. If prior to Closing any update of any Title Commitment discloses any title exception which is objectionable to Purchaser, in Purchaser’s reasonable discretion, and which was not disclosed in the applicable Title Commitment, or any update previously obtained by the Purchaser, or any update of the Surveys obtained by the Purchaser discloses any defect or exception which is objectionable to Purchaser, in Purchaser’s reasonable discretion, and which is not disclosed in any prior Survey, or any update previously obtained by the Purchaser (each a “New Title Defect”), the Sellers shall remove or cure such New Title Defect at or prior to Closing. In the event that the Sellers fail to remove or cure such New Title Defect at or prior to Closing, the Purchaser shall be entitled to proceed under Section 4.2.1 above. The Sellers hereby agree that they shall not voluntarily create or permit to exist any New Title Defect. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Sellers shall not be obligated to cure any New Title Defect not directly or indirectly caused by any action or inaction of any Seller (and provided that as to any lien resulting from any alleged non-payment by Sellers for labor or materials relating to the
-30-
Sites, Sellers shall be provided with a reasonable opportunity to contest the same in good faith and may cure such New Title Defect by providing a bond or other reasonable assurance of payment in the event that Sellers do not prevail in such contest).
4.2.4 Title Policies. At Closing, the Purchaser shall cause the Title Company to issue owner’s title insurance policies to the Purchaser pursuant to the Title Commitments, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances (the “Title Policy(ies)”).
4.2.5 Conveyance of the Property. At Closing, the respective Sellers shall convey the respective Real Property to the Purchaser subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances.
4.3 Environmental Inspections and Reports Prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement, Sellers have provided to Purchaser for its review, a copy of any existing environmental reports, studies or notices which are in any Seller’s possession or control, if any. Purchaser has or will obtain on or before December 8, 2006, additional environmental studies related to the Sites (including both Level I and Level II studies), audits and other tests of the Real Property as may be deemed necessary by Purchaser to determine the existence of any environmental conditions on the Real Property which are unacceptable to Purchaser, in Purchaser’s reasonable discretion, or which reveal the existence of Hazardous Substances on or contaminating any of the Real Property above levels which exceed the allowable levels as set forth in the current Environmental Laws, the expense of which shall be paid by Purchaser and included as an Acquisition Cost under Section 9.7 (collectively referred to herein as, the “Environmental Reports”). If the Level I or Level II Environmental Reports reveal any Hazardous Substances on or contaminating any of the Real Property above levels which exceed the allowable levels as set forth in the current Environmental Laws or which reveal any environmental conditions on the Property which are otherwise unacceptable to Purchaser, in Purchaser’s reasonable discretion (each a “Disclosed Environmental Defect”), then not later than December 8, 2006 (the “Environmental Notification Date”), Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s election, (i) notify Sellers in writing (without setting forth in any detail or otherwise providing any specific or other description of the applicable objection or objections) that the environmental condition of the applicable Real Property is unacceptable to Purchaser, or, (ii) terminate this Agreement, by written notice to Seller, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect, and the Parties shall have no further obligations to the other, except for those obligations or liabilities that expressly survive termination of this Agreement. To the extent that the Purchaser does not object in writing to a Disclosed Environmental Defect upon or prior to the Environmental Notification Date, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its objection to such Disclosed Environmental Defect hereunder. Upon receipt of a notice from Purchaser pursuant to subsection (i) above, the respective Seller of the affected Real Property may request, in writing, a copy of the applicable Environmental Report(s), whereupon Purchaser shall promptly furnish to such Seller a copy of such Environmental Report(s), and within ten (10) days after receipt thereof, such Seller may elect, by written notice to Purchaser, to (a) agree to cause Remediation of the Disclosed Environmental Defects objected to by Purchaser (“Proposed Remediation”), and, within ten (10) days of Seller’s written notice to Purchaser of such election, provide Purchaser with written notice of the estimated time frame for completion of such Proposed Remediation, a total cost to complete such Proposed Remediation, and any other detail, information

or documentation regarding such Proposed Remediation as may be requested or required by Purchaser, in Purchaser’s reasonable discretion, or (b) decline to pursue any Remediation of the condition(s) objected to by Purchaser, with it being agreed that if such Seller fails to provide Purchaser with a written response within ten (10) days after receipt of any such applicable Environmental Report(s), then such Seller shall be deemed to have declined to pursue Remediation of the applicable Disclosed Environmental Defects. Upon Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s election under subsections (a) or (b) above, Purchaser may elect, by written notice to the Sellers to (x) accept such Proposed Remediation by the applicable Seller, or (y) in the event that such Proposed Remediation is not sufficient in Purchaser’s reasonable discretion to address the risks associated with the Disclosed Environmental Defect, accept such Proposed Remediation by the applicable Seller and require that, in addition to the completion of such Proposed Remediation, such Seller agree to execute and deliver an agreement to indemnify Purchaser, pursuant to which such Seller will agree to indemnify Purchaser against any and all loss, cost, liability or expense in connection with the Proposed Remediation, or any continuing adverse environmental condition(s) existing at the Real Property to the extent attributable to the Disclosed Environmental Defect to which such Proposed Remediation relates (each an “Environmental Indemnification”), or (z) terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, by written notice to the Sellers, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect, and the Parties shall have no further obligations to the other, except for those obligations or liabilities that expressly survive termination of this Agreement. In the event that Purchaser requests an Environmental Indemnification from any Seller pursuant to Subsection (y) above, such Seller(s) may decline to do so by written notice to Purchaser within ten (10) days after receipt of such request from Purchaser, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate and shall be null and void and of no further force or effect, and the Parties shall have no further obligations to the other, except for those obligations or liabilities that expressly survive termination of this Agreement.
If Purchaser agrees to accept such Proposed Remediation, Sellers shall complete such Proposed Remediation on or before the Closing Date hereunder, and shall, upon completion, provide to Purchaser any certificates of completion or no further action from any Governmental Authority or other third party, as may be available upon commercially reasonable terms and required by Purchaser, at Purchaser’s reasonable discretion. If any such Proposed Remediation shall not be completed on or before the Closing Date, the applicable Seller shall thereafter continuously and with all due diligence pursue such Proposed Remediation to completion following the Closing Date and the portion of the Purchase Price paid at the Closing Date shall be reduced by two hundred percent (200%) of the reasonably estimated cost to complete such Proposed Remediation as of the Closing Date, which amounts shall be held by Escrow Agent as security for the satisfactory completion of such Required Remediation pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement executed at Closing reasonably satisfactory to such Seller(s) and Purchaser, and in the event that Purchaser will require and Seller has agreed to provide an Environmental Indemnification pursuant to subsection (y) and the related provisions above, Seller shall execute and deliver at Closing such Environmental Indemnification, which shall be in form and substance agreed upon by Seller(s) and Purchaser during the Due Diligence Period, pursuant to which Seller shall agree to indemnify Purchaser against any and all loss, cost, liability or expense in connection with the Remediation or any continuing adverse environmental condition (s) existing at the Real Property. Upon completion by the applicable Seller of any such Proposed Remediation following the Closing Date, such Seller
-32-
shall provide to Purchaser any certificates of completion or “no further action” from any Governmental Authority or other third party, as may be available upon commercially reasonable terms and required by Purchaser, at Purchaser’s reasonable discretion. Once such Seller has provided Purchaser with such certificates upon completion of any such Proposed Remediation, the foregoing Purchase Price holdback shall be promptly paid in full by Purchaser to such Seller. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that unless Sellers specifically request in writing from Purchaser a copy of any applicable Level I or Level II Environmental Reports, Purchaser shall not provide or furnish any Seller with a copy or summary of, or any excerpt from, any Level I or Level II Environmental Reports commissioned by Purchaser or received by Purchaser from any source other than directly from any Seller as a part of the Sellers’ Due Diligence Materials. Finally, if any of the Environmental Reports disclose any condition of the Real Property which would obligate Purchaser to report such information to a Governmental Authority under Applicable Law, then Purchaser shall so report such information, but only to the extent required to comply with its obligations under Applicable Laws. If Purchaser is otherwise obligated to report by law, then Purchaser may so report.
4.4 Contracts. On the Closing Date, all Contracts which are not objected to by Purchaser in accordance with the provisions below and which are not in violation of any Applicable Law shall be assigned by Sellers and assumed by Purchaser or such other party as Purchaser may direct as of the Closing Date (the “Assumed Contracts”) pursuant to the “Assignment and Assumption of Contracts” (as described in Section 8.3.5). On or before fifteen (15) days after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall identify in writing to Sellers (i) those Contracts which are acceptable to Purchaser and which will be assumed by Purchaser on the Closing Date hereunder, and (ii) those Contracts which are not acceptable to Purchaser and which Sellers shall be obligated to terminate at or prior to the Closing Date. If Sellers shall not agree in writing to terminate any material Contract which is deemed by Purchaser to be unacceptable, then Purchaser, as its exclusive remedy, may elect to terminate this Agreement by giving Sellers written notice of such termination within five (5) days after receipt of such notice from Sellers refusing to terminate the applicable Contract(s) deemed by Purchaser to be unacceptable, in which event, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect, and the Parties shall have no further obligations to the other, except for those obligations or liabilities that expressly survive termination of this Agreement. If Purchaser does not so terminate this Agreement, Purchaser shall accept and assume on the Closing Date hereunder those Contracts to which Purchaser previously objected and which Sellers have not agreed to terminate.
4.5 Inventory. During the Due Diligence Period and subject to the notice requirements of Section 4.1, Purchaser and its representatives shall be permitted to enter upon the Real Property for the purpose of taking an inventory of all tangible Personal Property related to the operation of the Business.
4.6 Purchaser’s Election Whether or Not to Proceed. From the Effective Date hereof through the date which is fifteen (15) days after the Effective Date, Purchaser may elect, in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, for any reason or for no reason, not acquire the Assets. Thereafter, at all times prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser may elect not to acquire the Assets due to any materially adverse condition of any of the Assets that the applicable Seller has not agreed in writing
-33-
to cure prior to the Closing Date in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. If Purchaser notifies Seller and the Escrow Agent of such properly exercised election in writing prior to the expiration of fifteen (15) days after the Effective Date or the Due Diligence Period, as applicable, then in such event, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect, and the Parties shall have no further obligation to the other, except for those obligations or liabilities that expressly survive termination of this Agreement. Upon the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the Deposit shall be nonrefundable to Purchaser, except in the case of an uncured default by any Seller hereunder after expiration of any applicable curative period, the failure of a Purchaser’s Closing Condition, or as otherwise expressly set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, in any instance where Purchaser has the discretion to elect to terminate this Agreement, and in fact does elect to terminate this Agreement, pursuant to this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit to Purchaser without further instructions, consent or written authorization by any Party hereto.
4.7 Operating Leases. During the Negotiation Period, Purchaser and Sellers shall, using good faith and diligent efforts, mutually agree upon all of the terms and conditions of the Lease Agreement, Sublease Agreement and Sub-Sublease Agreement, as applicable, for each Site which shall be entered into at Closing between Purchaser, as “Landlord”, and the Tenant, as “Tenant”, the form of which shall, prior to the expiration of the Negotiation Period, be attached hereto as Exhibit B-1, Exhibit B-2 and Exhibit B-3, respectively.

-34-
Manager shall each cooperate with the other and exercise good faith efforts to eliminate such conditions or prohibitions (provided that, in the event that such conditions, restrictions or prohibitions with respect to such Operating Lease shall not be eliminated, despite Landlord’s and Tenant’s good faith efforts to do so, Tenant shall still have the right to exercise the option to extend under all of the other Operating Leases); and (iv) each Operating Lease shall be cross-defaulted with all other Operating Leases, such that a default under any one Operating Lease shall constitute a default under all Operating Leases. In the event that Purchaser and Sellers shall not have, prior to expiration of the Negotiation Period hereunder and after using good faith and diligent efforts at all times, agreed upon the terms and conditions of the Lease Agreements, Sublease Agreements and Sub-Sublease Agreements to be entered into at Closing, and attached the forms of the same as Exhibit B-1, Exhibit B-2 and Exhibit B-3, either Purchaser or Sellers may elect to terminate this Agreement within five (5) days of the expiration of the Negotiation Period, by written notice to the other, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect, and the Parties shall have no further obligations to the other, except for those obligations or liabilities that expressly survive termination of this Agreement.

12.4 Indemnification Procedure; Notice of Indemnification Claim.
12.4.1 If any of the Sellers’ Indemnitees or the Purchaser’s Indemnitees (as the case may be) (each, an “Indemnitee”) is entitled to defense or indemnification under any other provision in this Agreement (each, an “Indemnification Claim”), the Party required to provide indemnification to such Indemnitee (the “Indemnitor”) shall not be obligated to defend, indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnitee until such Indemnitee provides written Notice to such Indemnitor after such Indemnitee has actual knowledge of any facts or circumstances on which such Indemnification Claim is based or a Third-Party Claim is made on which such Indemnification Claim is based, describing in reasonable detail such facts and circumstances or Third-Party Claim with respect to such Indemnification Claim; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnitee in notifying any Indemnitor shall relieve the Indemnitor from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnitor thereby is prejudiced.
12.4.2 Any Indemnitor will have the right to defend the Indemnitee against the Third-Party Claim with counsel of its choice satisfactory to the Indemnitee so long as (a) the Indemnitor notifies the Indemnitee in writing within fifteen (15) days after the Indemnitee has given Notice of the Third-Party Claim that the Indemnitor will indemnify the Indemnitee from and against the entirety of any Indemnification Loss the Indemnitee may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third-Party Claim, (b) the Indemnitor provides the Indemnitee with evidence acceptable to the Indemnitee that the Indemnitor will have the financial resources to defend against the Third-Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (c) the Third-Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (d) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third-Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnitee, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnitee, and (e) the Indemnitor conducts the defense of the Third-Party Claim actively and diligently.
12.4.3 So long as the Indemnitor is conducting the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 12.4.2 above, (a) the Indemnitee may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim, (b) the Indemnitee will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, and (c) the Indemnitor will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee.
12.4.4 In the event any of the conditions in Section 12.4.2 is or becomes unsatisfied, however, (a) the Indemnitee may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third-Party Claim in any manner it may deem appropriate (and the Indemnitee need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnitor in connection therewith), (b) the Indemnitor will reimburse the Indemnitee promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the Third-Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), and (c) the Indemnitor will remain responsible for any Indemnification Loss the Indemnitee may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third-Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this ARTICLE XII.
-65-
12.5 Exclusive Remedy for Indemnification Loss; Interpretation. Except for claims based on fraud, the indemnification provisions in this ARTICLE XII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of any Indemnitee with respect to any claim for Indemnification Loss arising from or in connection with this Agreement. The Parties shall take into account the time cost of money (using the prime rate as reported from time to time in The Wall Street Journal as the discount rate) in determining Indemnification Loss for purposes of this ARTICLE XII. All indemnification payments under this ARTICLE XII shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price.

-70-
(d) Each Purchase Option shall be exercised, if at all, (1) no earlier than the date which is four years from the Closing Date hereunder and (2) no later than the date which is ten (10) years from the Closing Date hereunder (the “Purchase Option Expiration Date”).

The form of such covenants shall be agreed upon between the Parties and attached hereto as Schedule 13.16(k), but, in any event, shall be limited to those covenants reasonably required to ensure that the development or use of the Purchase Option Tracts will not have a material adverse effect on the Manasquan Site or the Harborage Site, as applicable, or the operation of the Business being conducted at each such Site; provided, however, that the use and operation of any boat slips located at the Harborage Purchase Option Tract shall not be restricted, nor shall the use of the Harborage Purchase Option Tract for dry stacks be restricted (subject to Purchaser’s right of first offer described in Section 13.16(e) above). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the use of the Harborage Purchase Option Tract for dry stacks following the sale of such property to a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Seller in a sale that was not subject to the right of first offer described above, shall be restricted by the foregoing covenants.

Purchaser hereby waives and will cause each landlord under the applicable Operating Leases to likewise waive any conflict of interest relating to the forgoing arrangement (including, without limitation, any cause of action based upon or arising from any allegation that potential customers of the Xxxxxxxx Site or the Beaver Creek Site were directed to the Green Turtle Bay Site). Purchaser hereby acknowledges for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates that the Manager may continue to use the Shared Facilities/Personnel as described above and that the Manger will be authorized to reasonably allocate the costs and expenses of same among the affected Sites.

SCHEDULE 4.7
MATERIAL LEASE TERMS
• | Triple Net. The Leases shall be “triple-net”. As such, the Tenant shall be responsible for all taxes, assessments, costs of improvements, supplies, maintenance, repairs, replacements, utility charges, insurance , employee costs, cost of funding working capital accounts, management fees, condominium or home owners association fees, and all other charges of every kind relating to the use and occupancy of the Leased Property or Leased Properties. If due to circumstances beyond the control of the Tenant (a) the price of agreed upon flood or storm insurance coverage becomes commercially unreasonable with respect to a particular Site, or (b) such insurance is unavailable, the Tenant will not be in default under the applicable Lease to the extent that it does not carry such insurance and continues to operate a marina at such Site. |
• | Primary Term of Lease: The initial term shall be 20-years, provided however that the term of a Lease between Landlord and Tenant cannot exceed the remaining term of an underlying lease or permit pertaining to any of the Leased Properties. |
• | Renewal Options: Tenant shall maintain options to extend the Leases for four (4) additional five (5) year periods (the “Renewal Options”), provided however that the term of a Lease between Landlord and Tenant cannot exceed the remaining term of an underlying lease or permit pertaining to any of the Leased Properties. The Renewal Options will be at the Tenant’s sole discretion provided that the Tenant is in good standing under the existing Lease. If a Renewal Option is exercised on any Leased Property, it must be exercised on all Leased Properties, and the extended term shall be subject to all the terms and conditions of the Leases. To the extent that a permit pertaining to any of the Leased Properties has condition(s) that make exercising all Renewal Options simultaneously impossible, Landlord will work with Tenant and the relevant permit authority to solve such issue(s) with the permit authority and in any event Tenant may still exercise the Renewal Options on the remaining Leases. |
• | Cross Default of Leases: Each of the Leases will be cross defaulted with all of the other Leases, such that a Tenant default under any Lease can result in a Tenant default on all of the Leases. |
• | Capital Basis: The initial Purchase Price plus Buyer’s costs and Seller’s costs as described in Article 9.7 (collectively “Transaction Costs”), not to exceed 3% of the Purchase Price, shall be aggregated when funded and used as the basis for calculating the Base Rent obligation of Tenant under each Lease. |
• | Base Rent: Base Rent shall be equal to the Capital Basis multiplied by the current Lease Rate. Base Rent shall be due on an annual basis and paid on a monthly basis in advance. The Lease Rate shall initially be set at 8.0% annually of the Capital Basis through December 31, 2007, and shall be increased annually by 25 basis points, until reaching a maximum Lease Rate of 10.0%. |
• | Percentage Rent: Percentage Rent will be determined on an aggregate or pooled basis for all of the Leased Properties and will be a percentage of Total Facility Revenues. For the purpose of calculating Percentage Rent, the Management |
-78-
Fee will be considered to be six percent (6%) of gross revenues per annum. The Management Fee will be used only for the purpose of calculating Percentage Rent and will be subordinate to Percentage Rent. Percentage Rent will be calculated at the end of the fourth quarter for a given year and paid in arrears. Percentage Rent will be calculated and paid for the first time on the 1st anniversary of the execution of the Leases and will continue thereafter for the remaining term of the Leases and any and all extensions of the Leases. |
• | Capital Replacement Reserve: Buyer shall establish a Capital Replacement Reserve for each Property which shall be funded monthly by Tenant in an amount equal to 4.0% of total revenues of each Leased Property and capped at 5% of all Leased Properties’ trailing 12 month total revenues. These funds will be maintained in a reserve account owned by Buyer and controlled by Tenant. The account shall be maintained in a bank approved by Buyer. Any funds in the reserve account upon Tenant default under the terms of a Lease or termination of the Leases will remain with the Landlord. The funds in this account will be used by Tenant in order to fund repairs, maintenance and non-income producing capital expenditures on the Properties. Use of the funds in this account will be subject to an annual budget prepared by Tenant and approved by Landlord. The Parties shall execute a separate Pooling Agreement at Closing to address all issues related to the pooling of the Capital Replacement Reserves. A separate reserve will be established in an amount not to exceed 2% of total revenues for the Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxx Creek Marinas to fund replacements of the Water Fleet and M & E for such sites. |
• | Expansion Capital: From time to time, Tenant or Landlord may recommend additional expenditures above and beyond the annual Capital Replacement Reserve. Any such Expansion Capital will increase Base Rent by an amount to be negotiated by Landlord and Tenant on a project-by-project basis. Landlord agrees to review Tenant’s 2006 and 2007 capital placement schedule prior to signing of the Leases and will consider pre funding certain capital projects on such schedule. Any such “Pre Fundings” will be included in the Capital Basis. |
• | Security Deposit: A Security Deposit in the form of a Letter of Credit or dollars escrowed in an account acceptable to Landlord (the beneficial interest of which would belong to the Tenant) in an amount equal to the aggregate Base Rent under each of the Leases for the first six months of the Leases (the “Deposit”) will be kept by the Tenant upon commencement of the Leases. At the earlier of the 4th anniversary of the signing of the Lease or such time as the Tenant’s NOI (defined as cash flow after all expenses, Ordinary Capital Replacement Reserve) exceeds 1.3X “Coverage” (defined below) on a trailing 12 month basis, the Security Deposit will be reduced to a Letter of Credit in an amount equal to 3 months of the then current Base Rent for each of the leases. Tenant will maintain the Security Deposit until such time as the Leased Properties’ performance exceeds 1.4X Coverage for two consecutive years on a trailing 12 month basis. A certain year’s Coverage is defined as NOI divided by Base Rent for the given year. |
-79-
• | Assignment: Buyer shall not assign any of the Leased Properties or any obligations of the Leases without the prior written notice to the Tenant; provided, however, that the Buyer may, without consent of Tenant: |
(i) | assign the Leases to any entity that acquires all or substantially all of Buyer’s assets or its business that is the subject hereof, or to any entity that is owned by such Party, |
(ii) | assign the Leases to a third party provided that the Leased Properties remain encumbered by the terms of the Leases. |
Tenant shall not assign any obligations of the Leases without the prior written consent of the Buyer; such consent is not to be unreasonably withheld.
• | Financial Reporting Requirements: |
• | Tenant shall provide to Landlord a monthly balance sheet and income statement within 20 days of month end. |
• | Tenant shall provide to Landlord with aggregate Leased Property revenues within 10 days of month end |
• | Tenant shall provide to Landlord a final balance sheet and annual income statement within 75 days of year end. |
• | Landlord shall have the right to audit the Tenant’s financial statements. |
• | The Tenant must provide to Landlord reasonable access and assistance to perform any and all procedures necessary to conduct and complete Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Section 404 certification. |
• | Tenant will prepare an annual budget for each fiscal year and submit such budget to Landlord at least 30 days prior to the end of the prior fiscal year. Tenant will consider in good faith, any comments or suggestions on such annual budget provided to Tenant by Landlord after its review. |
• | Quiet Enjoyment: Tenant will be solely responsibly for day to day operations at the Leased Properties and have the benefit of “quiet enjoyment” of the Leased Properties. |

(collectively the “Borrower”) with respect to the following properties: the “Emeryville Marina”; the “Xxxxx’x Landing Marina”; “Paradise Cove”; the “Silver Lake Marina”; the “Silver Lake Park”; the “Twin Coves Marina”; and the “Twin Coves Park,” it being agreed that the amount of the Loan allocated to Paradise Cove will not be advanced, and the corresponding lien and security interest against the Paradise Cove collateral will not be granted to Lender, unless and until the Borrower obtains an extension of the ACOE lease for at least 25 years, and if the extension is not obtained by December 31, 2007, any obligation of CNL to lend the allocated amount will expire.
2. Term. Each mortgage loan will have a term to maturity of 15 years (collectively the “Loan”).
3. Interest; Exit Fee. During the first three years of the term of each Loan interest only shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each calendar month, in an amount equal to a rate of nine (9.0%) per annum of all outstanding principal (the “Pay Rate Interest”).

The Borrower agrees to pay the holder of each Loan, in addition to the entire unpaid principal balance, accrued and unpaid interest, and any other sums due such holder thereunder, an exit fee (the “Exit Fee”). If the principal balance of a Loan is paid in full on its scheduled Maturity Date, the Exit Fee shall be an amount which is equal to (a) the aggregate of monthly interest payments that would have been payable by Borrower to the holder under such Loan if the Interest Rate had been 10.25% rather than 9.0%, less (b) the aggregate of all interest payments actually paid by Borrower to the holder. If a Loan is prepaid, whether voluntary or involuntary, the Exit Fee for such Loan shall be an amount which is equal to (a) the aggregate of monthly interest payments that would have been payable by Borrower to the holder under such Loan if the Interest Rate had been 11.0% rather than 9.0%, less (b) the aggregate of all interest payments actually paid by Borrower to such holder under such Loan.

g. An owner’s affidavit.
h. A closing statement.

i. A waiver of jury trial.
j. Any other documents deemed necessary by the Lender in its reasonable discretion to secure or service the Loan. Unless Lender agrees otherwise in writing, completion of all documents is a condition of closing of the Loan.
The Loan Documents shall include provisions for default interest at the highest rate allowed by Florida law per annum and for late charges of five percent (5%) of the amount of any payment which is more than five (5) days past due or for any other default not cured within any applicable grace and cure period.
6. Amortization. During the first three years of the term of each Loan, the Borrower will be required to pay interest only at 9.0% .

The Exit Fee is payable as and when described in paragraph 3 above
7. Loan Conditions. Any intent and undertaking of Lender to make a Loan will be subject to and conditioned upon the Lender’s receipt prior to closing, at the Borrower’s expense, of such items as the Lender may in its reasonable discretion deem necessary or appropriate in order to evidence the Borrower’s ability to provide the contemplated security for the Loan described herein, including without limitation, the following items all satisfactory in form and content to the Lender and its counsel: insurance, title insurance, zoning, permitting, utilities, leases, service contracts, entity documents, surveys, evidence of satisfaction of all debt, inspections, financial statements and tax returns.

10. Prepayment. Except as permitted in Section 9 above, the Loans will be “locked out” to prepayment for the first four years of the Loans and during years 5-15 of the term of the Loans, prepayment will be allowed on all of the Loans, but not in part, provided Borrower pays the Exit Fee owed on the Loans.
