not individually, except as expressly stated therein, as Owner

2
ARTICLE II
2.1 Property. Subject to the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth and contained in the respective Lease Supplement
relating to each Property, Lessor hereby leases to Lessee and Lessee hereby
leases from Lessor, each Property.
2.2 Lease Term. The term of this Lease with respect to
each Property (the "Basic Term") shall begin upon the earliest to
occur of (i) the Completion Date for such Property, (ii) with
respect to Improved Property, the Property Closing Date with
respect to such Improved Property or (iii) if such Property is a
Construction Period Property as of the date of any Agency Agreement
Event of Default, the date of such Agency Agreement Event of
Default (in each case the "Basic Term Commencement Date") and shall end on
May 5, 2000 (the "Basic Term Expiration Date"), unless the Term is
extended or earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions of
this Lease.
2.3 Title. Each Property is leased to Lessee without any
representation or warranty, express or implied, by Lessor and
subject to the rights of parties in possession, the existing state
of title (including, without limitation, the Permitted Exceptions)
and all applicable Legal Requirements. Lessee shall in no event
have any recourse against Lessor for any defect in title to any
Property.
2.4 Lease Supplements. On or prior to the Completion Date
with respect to the Improvements to be constructed on Unimproved
Property and on or prior to the Property Closing Date with respect
to each acquisition of Improved Property, Lessee covenants and
agrees with Lessor that it will execute and deliver to Lessor a
Lease Supplement for the Property to be leased effective as of the
Basic Term Commencement Date for such Property (such Lease
Supplement to be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto),
and thereafter such Property shall be subject to the terms of this
Lease.
ARTICLE III
3.1 Rent.
(a) Lessee shall pay Basic Rent in arrears, on each
Payment Date, and on any date on which this Lease shall
terminate with respect to any or all Properties during the
Term; provided, however, with respect to each individual
Property Lessee shall have no obligation to pay Basic Rent
with respect to such Property until the Basic Term has commenced
with respect to such Property.
(b) Basic Rent shall be due and payable in lawful money
of the United States and shall be paid by wire transfer
(including Automated Clearing House transfer) of immediately
available funds on the due-date therefor to such
3
account or accounts at such bank or banks as Lessor shall from
time to time direct.
(c) Lessee's inability or failure to take possession of
all or any portion of any Property when delivered by Lessor,
whether or not attributable to any act or omission of Lessee
or any act or omission of Lessor (other than an act or omission
that constitutes gross negligence or wilful misconduct of
Lessor), or for any other reason whatsoever, shall not delay
or otherwise affect Lessee's obligation to pay Rent for such
Property in accordance with the terms of this Lease.
3.2 Payment of Basic Rent. Basic Rent shall be paid
absolutely net to Lessor or its designee, so that this Lease shall
yield to Lessor the full amount thereof, without setoff, deduction
or reduction.
3.3 Supplemental Rent. Lessee shall pay to Lessor or its
designee or to the Person entitled thereto any and all Supplemental
Rent promptly as the same shall become due and payable, and if
Lessee fails to pay any Supplemental Rent, Lessor shall have all
rights, powers and remedies provided for herein or by law or equity
or otherwise in the case of nonpayment of Basic Rent. Lessee shall
pay to Lessor, as Supplemental Rent, among other things, on demand,
to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, (a) any
and all unpaid fees, charges, payments and other obligations (other
than the obligations of Lessor to pay the principal amount of the
Loans and the Holder Amount) due and owing by Lessor under the
Credit Agreement, under the Trust Agreement and/or under any other
Operative Agreement (including specifically without limitation any
amounts owing to the Lenders under Section 2.10 or Section 2.11 of
the Credit Agreement and any amounts owing to the Holder under
Section 3.8 or Section 3.9 of the Trust Agreement) and (b) interest
at the applicable Overdue Rate on any installment of Basic Rent not
paid when due for the period for which the same shall be overdue
and on any payment of Supplemental Rent not paid when due or demanded
by Lessor for the period from the due date or the date of any such
demand, as the case may be, until the same shall be paid. The
expiration or other termination of Lessee's obligations to pay
Basic Rent hereunder shall not limit or modify the obligations of Lessee
with respect to Supplemental Rent. Unless expressly provided
otherwise in this Lease, in the event of any failure on the part of
Lessee to pay and discharge any Supplemental Rent as and when due,
Lessee shall also promptly pay and discharge any fine, penalty,
interest or cost which may be assessed or added for nonpayment or
late payment of such Supplemental Rent, all of which shall also
constitute Supplemental Rent.
3.4 Performance on a Non-Business Day. If any payment is
required hereunder on a day that is not a Business Day, then such
payment shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day.
4
3.5 Rent Payment Provisions. Lessee shall make payment of
all Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent when due regardless of whether
any of the Operative Agreements pursuant to which same is calculated
and is owing shall have been rejected, avoided or disavowed in any
bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving any of the parties to
any of the Operative Agreements. Such provisions of such Operative
Agreements and their related definitions are incorporated herein by
reference and shall survive any termination, amendment or rejection
of any such Operative Agreements.
ARTICLE IV
4.1 Utility Charges. Lessee shall pay or cause to be paid
all charges for electricity, power, gas, oil, water, telephone,
sanitary sewer service and all other rents and utilities used in or
on a Property and related real property during the Term. Lessee
shall be entitled to receive any credit or refund with respect to
any utility charge paid by Lessee. The amount of any credit or
refund received by Lessor on account of any utility charges paid by
Lessee, net of the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lessor
in obtaining such credit or refund, if any, shall be promptly paid
over to Lessee. All charges for utilities imposed with respect to
a Property for a billing period during which this Lease expires or
terminates shall be adjusted and prorated on a daily basis between
Lessor and Lessee, and each party shall pay or reimburse the other
for such party's pro rata share thereof.
ARTICLE V
5.1 Quiet Enjoyment. Subject to the rights of Lessor
contained in Sections 17.2, 17.3 and 20.3 and the other terms of
this Lease and so long as no Lease Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, Lessee shall peaceably and quietly
have, hold and enjoy each Property for the applicable Term, free of any
claim or other action by Lessor or anyone rightfully claiming by,
through or under Lessor (other than Lessee) with respect to any
matters arising from and after the applicable Basic Term
Commencement Date.
5.2 Transfers by Lessor; Lessor Liens. So long as no Lease
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessor
shall not assign or convey any of its right, title or interest in and to
this Lease or the Properties, except for the Liens specifically
contemplated under the Operative Agreements or as otherwise
required by Law. In addition to the foregoing, Lessor agrees that it will,
in its individual capacity and at its own cost and expense (and
without any right of indemnity under the Operative Agreements)
promptly take such action as may be necessary to duly discharge and
satisfy in full any Lessor Liens in a manner consistent with the
requirements of Section 10.2(a) of the Participation Agreement.
5
ARTICLE VI
6.1 Net Lease. This Lease shall constitute a net lease. Any
present or future law to the contrary notwithstanding, this Lease
shall not terminate, nor shall Lessee be entitled to any abatement,
suspension, deferment, reduction, setoff, counter- claim, or defense
with respect to the Rent, nor shall the obligations of Lessee
hereunder be affected (except as expressly herein permitted and by
performance of the obligations in connection therewith) by reason of:
(i) any damage to or destruction of any Property or any part thereof;
(ii) any taking of any Property or any part thereof or interest
therein by Condemnation or otherwise; (iii) any prohibition,
limitation, restriction or prevention of Lessee's use, occupancy or
enjoyment of any Property or any part thereof, or any interference
with such use, occupancy or enjoyment by any Person or for any other
reason; (iv) any title defect, Lien or any matter affecting title to
any Property; (v) any eviction by paramount title or otherwise; (vi)
any default by Lessor hereunder; (vii) any action for bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or other
proceeding relating to or affecting Lessor or any Governmental

Lessor, Lessee or both; (ix) any action of any Governmental Authority;
(x) Lessee's acquisition of ownership of all or part of any Property;
(xi) breach of any warranty or representation with respect to any
Property or any Operative Agreement; (xii) any defect in the
condition, quality or fitness for use of any Property or any part
thereof; or (xiii) any other cause or circumstance whether similar or
dissimilar to the foregoing and whether or not Lessee shall have
notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing. The parties intend that
the obligations of Lessee hereunder shall be covenants, agreements and
obligations that are separate and independent from any obligations of
Lessor hereunder and shall continue unaffected unless such covenants,
agreements and obligations shall have been modified or terminated in
accordance with an express provision of this Lease. Lessor and Lessee
acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this Section 6.1 have
been specifically reviewed and subject to negotiation.
6.2 No Termination or Abatement. Lessee shall remain
obligated under this Lease in accordance with its terms and shall
not take any action to terminate, rescind or avoid this Lease,
notwithstanding any action for bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, or other proceeding
affecting Lessor or any Governmental Authority, or any action with
respect to this Lease or any Operative Agreement which may be taken
by any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Lessor or any
Governmental Authority or by any court with respect to Lessor or any
Governmental Authority. Lessee hereby waives all right (i) to
terminate or surrender this Lease or (ii) to avail itself of any
abatement, suspension, deferment, reduction, setoff, counterclaim
or defense with respect to any Rent. Lessee shall remain obligated
under this Lease in accordance with its terms and Lessee hereby
waives any and all rights now or hereafter
6
conferred by statute or otherwise to modify or to avoid strict
compliance with its obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding
any such statute or otherwise, Lessee shall be bound by all of the
terms and conditions contained in this Lease.
ARTICLE VII
7.1 Ownership of the Property.
(a) Lessor and Lessee intend that (i) for financial
accounting purposes with respect to Lessee (A) this Lease will
be treated as an "operating lease" pursuant to Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, as amended, (B) Lessor
will be treated as the owner and lessor of each Property and
(C) Lessee will be treated as the lessee of each Property, but
(ii) for federal and all state and local income tax purposes,
bankruptcy and commercial law and real estate purposes and all
other purposes (A) this Lease will be treated as a financing
arrangement, and (B) Lessee will be treated as the owner of
the Properties and will be entitled to all tax benefits
ordinarily available to owners of property similar to the
Properties for such tax purposes.
(b) To the extent this Lease is hereafter deemed to
constitute a finance lease and not a true lease, then and only
in such event, Lessor and Lessee intend and agree that, for
the purpose of securing Lessee's obligations hereunder, (i) this
Lease shall be deemed to be a security agreement and financing
statement within the meaning of Article 9 of the Uniform
Commercial Code respecting each of the Properties to the
extent such is personal property and an irrevocable grant and
conveyance of a lien and mortgage on each of the Properties to
the extent such is real property; (ii) the conveyance provided
for in Article II shall be deemed to be a grant by Lessee to
Lessor of, and Lessee hereby grants to Lessor, a lien on and
security interest, mortgage and deed of trust in all of
Lessee's right, title and interest in and to the Property and
all proceeds (including without limitation insurance proceeds)
of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing
into cash, investments, securities or other property, whether
in the form of cash, investments, securities or other
property, and an assignment of all rents, profits and income produced
by the Property; and (iii) notifications to Persons holding such
property, and acknowledgements, receipts or confirmations from
financial intermediaries, bankers or agents (as applicable) of
Lessee shall be deemed to have been given for the purpose of
perfecting such security interest, mortgage, deed of trust or
lien under applicable law. Lessor and Lessee shall, to the
extent consistent with this Lease, take such actions as may be
necessary (including without limitation the filing of Uniform
Commercial Code Financing Statements, Uniform Commercial Code
Fixture
7
Filings and memoranda of this Lease and the various Lease
Supplements) to ensure that, if this Lease were deemed to
create a lien, mortgage, deed of trust or security interest in
the Property in accordance with this Section, such lien,
mortgage, deed of trust or security interest would be deemed
to be perfected and to have a first priority position under
applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the
Term.
ARTICLE VIII
8.1 Condition of the Property. EXCEPT FOR THE COVENANTS OF
LESSOR SET FORTH IN ARTICLE V HEREOF, LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND
AGREES THAT IT IS LEASING EACH PROPERTY "AS IS" WITHOUT REPRESENTATION,
WARRANTY OR COVENANT (EXPRESS OR IMPLIED) BY LESSOR AND IN EACH
CASE SUBJECT TO (A) THE EXISTING STATE OF TITLE, (B) THE RIGHTS OF ANY
PARTIES IN POSSESSION THEREOF, (C) ANY STATE OF FACTS WHICH AN
ACCURATE SURVEY OR PHYSICAL INSPECTION MIGHT SHOW, (D) ALL
APPLICABLE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS AND (D) VIOLATIONS OF LEGAL
REQUIREMENTS WHICH MAY EXIST ON THE DATE HEREOF. NEITHER LESSOR
NOR THE AGENT NOR ANY LENDER NOR THE HOLDER HAS MADE OR SHALL BE
DEEMED TO HAVE MADE ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT (EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED) OR SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE ANY LIABILITY WHATSOEVER AS TO
THE TITLE, VALUE, HABITABILITY, USE, CONDITION, DESIGN, OPERATION,
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR USE OF ANY PROPERTY (OR ANY PART
THEREOF), OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT
WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO ANY PROPERTY (OR
ANY PART THEREOF), AND NEITHER LESSOR NOR THE AGENT NOR ANY LENDER NOR
THE HOLDER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LATENT, HIDDEN, OR PATENT DEFECT
THEREIN OR THE FAILURE OF ANY PROPERTY, OR ANY PART THEREOF, TO
COMPLY WITH ANY LEGAL REQUIREMENT. THE LESSEE HAS OR WILL HAVE
BEEN AFFORDED FULL OPPORTUNITY TO INSPECT THE PROPERTY AND THE
IMPROVEMENTS THEREIN, IS OR WILL BE (INSOFAR AS THE LESSOR, THE
AGENT, EACH LENDER AND EACH HOLDER ARE CONCERNED) SATISFIED WITH
THE RESULTS OF ITS INSPECTIONS AND IS ENTERING INTO THIS LEASE SOLELY
ON THE BASIS OF THE RESULTS OF ITS OWN INSPECTIONS, AND ALL RISKS
INCIDENT TO THE MATTERS DESCRIBED IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE, AS
BETWEEN THE LESSOR, THE AGENT, THE LENDERS AND THE HOLDER, ON THE
ONE HAND, AND THE LESSEE, ON THE OTHER HAND, ARE TO BE BORNE BY
LESSEE.
8.2 Possession and Use of the Property.
(a) At all times during the Term with respect to each
Property, such Property shall not be used by Lessee for any
unlawful purpose. Lessee shall pay, or cause to be paid, all
charges and costs required in connection with the use of the
Properties as contemplated by this Lease. During the Term,
Lessee may cease operations at Properties having a Maximum
Property Cost not to exceed fifty percent (50%) of the Maximum
Property Cost of all Properties as of the Construction Period
Termination Date; provided, during such
8
period of ceased operations Lessee shall comply with its
obligations under the Operative Agreements.
(b) The address of Lessee set forth in Section 29.1
herein or otherwise disclosed to Lessor by Lessee pursuant to
written notice hereunder no less than 30 days prior to the
effective date of such changed location is the chief place of
business and chief executive office of Lessee (as such terms
are used in Section 9-103(3) of the Uniform Commercial Code of
any applicable jurisdiction). Regarding a particular
Property, each Lease Supplement correctly identifies the initial
location of the related Equipment and Improvements and
contains an accurate legal description for the related parcel
of Land. Lessee has no other places of business where the
Equipment or Improvements will be located other than those
identified on the applicable Lease Supplement.
(c) Lessee will not attach or incorporate any item of
Equipment to or in any other item of equipment or personal
property or to or in any real property (except the Land
identified in the Lease Supplement in which such Equipment is
also described) in a manner that could give rise to the
assertion of any Lien on such item of Equipment by reason of
such attachment or the assertion of a claim that such item of
Equipment has become a fixture and is subject to a Lien in
favor of a third party that is prior to the Liens thereon
created by the Operative Agreements.
(d) With respect to each Property, subject to the terms
and conditions of this Lease and the Participation Agreement,
on each Basic Term Commencement Date Lessor and Lessee shall
execute and deliver a Lease Supplement containing, in regard
to such Property, an Equipment Schedule that has a complete
description of each item of Equipment, an Improvement Schedule
that has a complete description of each Improvement and a
legal description of the Land, to be leased hereunder as of such
date. Simultaneously therewith, such Equipment, Improvements
and Land shall be deemed to have been accepted by Lessee for
all purposes of this Lease and to be subject to this Lease.
ARTICLE IX
9.1 Compliance With Legal Requirements and Insurance
Requirements. Subject to the terms of Article XIII relating to
permitted contests, Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall (i)
comply with all material Legal Requirements (including without
limitation all Environmental Laws) relating to the Properties, and
all Insurance Requirements relating to the Properties, including
the use, development, construction, operation, maintenance, repair,
refurbishment and restoration thereof, whether or not compliance
therewith shall require structural or extraordinary changes in the
Improvements or
9
interfere with the use and enjoyment of the Properties, and (ii)
procure, maintain and comply with all material licenses, permits,
orders, approvals, consents and other authorizations required for
the construction, use, maintenance and operation of the Properties
and for the use, development, construction, operation, maintenance,
repair and restoration of the Improvements.
ARTICLE X
10.1 Maintenance and Repair; Return.
(a) Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall maintain
each Property in good condition, repair and working order
(ordinary wear and tear excepted) and make all necessary
repairs thereto, of every kind and nature whatsoever, whether
interior or exterior, ordinary or extraordinary, structural or
nonstructural or foreseen or unforeseen, in each case as
required by all Legal Requirements, Insurance Requirement and
manufacturer's specifications and standards and on a basis
consistent with the operation and maintenance of other similar
properties or equipment of Lessee as of the date hereof
subject, however, to the provisions of Article XV with respect
to Condemnation and Casualty.
(b) Lessee shall not use or locate any component of any
Property outside of any Approved State. Lessee shall not move
or relocate any component of any Property beyond the
boundaries of the Land (comprising part of the Property) described in
the applicable Lease Supplement.
(c) (Intentionally Omitted).
(d) Upon reasonable advance notice, Lessor and its
agents shall have the right to inspect each Property and all
maintenance records with respect thereto at any reasonable
time during normal business hours but shall not, in the absence of
a Lease Event of Default, materially disrupt the business of
Lessee.
(e) If, at any time, the aggregate appraised value of
Properties then subject to this Lease and with respect to
which operations have not ceased as described in Section 8.2(a) for
which the Lessor has received an Appraisal pursuant to the
terms of Section 5.6 of the Participation Agreement is less
than the lesser of $14,000,000 or the aggregate Property Cost
of all Properties then subject to this Lease and with respect
to which operations have not ceased as described in Section
8.2(a) (such lesser amount being hereafter referred to as the
"Base Amount"), then the Lessee will cause an additional
Appraisal or Appraisals to be immediately delivered to the
Lessor in an amount sufficient to cause such aggregate
appraised value to equal or exceed the Base Amount. In
addition, Lessee shall cause
10
to be delivered to Lessor (at Lessee's sole expense) any
additional Appraisals (or reappraisals) as Lessor may request
if any one of Lessor, the Agent, any Lender or the Holder is
required pursuant to any applicable Legal Requirement to
obtain such an Appraisal (or reappraisal). Any such request by
Lessor will identify the Person and the applicable Legal Requirement
that necessitates the additional Appraisal (or reappraisal).
Lessee may cause the additional Appraisal (or reappraisal) to
be performed in a manner that satisfies the minimum
requirements of such Legal Requirement, including, without
limitation, if permitted by the Legal Requirement, providing a
supplement or date-down to a previously provided Appraisal.
The parties will cooperate on efforts to minimize the
frequency and costs of such additional Appraisals (or reappraisals).
(f) Lessor shall under no circumstances be required to
build any improvements on any Property, make any repairs,
replacements, alterations or renewals of any nature or

Except to the extent otherwise provided for in Section 13 of the
Participation Agreement, Lessee, on its own or on Lessor's behalf
but at Lessee's sole cost and expense, may contest, by appropriate
administrative or judicial proceedings conducted in good faith and
with due diligence, the amount, validity or application, in whole
or in part, of any Legal Requirement, or utility charges payable

the Legal Requirements in sufficient time to prevent any sale,
forfeiture or loss by reason of such non-payment or noncompliance,
(b) at no time during the permitted contest shall there be a risk
of the imposition of criminal liability or material civil liability
(in the case of a civil liability, unless Lessee provides to Lessor
such security or other assurances reasonably acceptable to Lessor
that Lessee can and will satisfy such liability) on Lessor, the
Holder, the Agent or any Lender for failure to comply therewith;
and (c) in the event that, at any time, there shall be a material
risk of extending the application of such item beyond the end of

During the Term of each Property, Lessee shall procure and carry,
at Lessee's sole cost and expense, commercial general liability
insurance for claims for injuries or death sustained by persons or
damage to property while on the Properties or the premises where
the Equipment is located and such other public liability coverages as
are ordinarily procured by Persons who own or operate similar
properties or equipment in similar businesses. Such insurance shall
be on terms and in amounts that are no less favorable than
insurance maintained by Lessee with respect to similar properties and
equipment that it owns and that are in accordance with normal
industry practice. The policies shall be endorsed to name Lessor,
the Holder, the Agent and the Lenders as additional insureds. The
policies shall also specifically provide that such policies shall
be considered primary insurance which shall apply to any loss or
claim before any contribution by any insurance which Lessor, the Holder,
the Agent or the Lenders may have in force. Lessee shall, in the
operation of the Properties, comply with the applicable workers'
compensation laws and protect Lessor, the Holder, the Agent and the
Lenders against any liability under such laws.

keep, or cause to be kept, such Property insured against loss or
damage by fire and other risks and shall maintain builders'
risk insurance during construction of any Improvements or
Modifications on terms and in amounts that are no less
favorable than insurance covering other similar properties
owned by Lessee and that are in accordance with normal
industry practice. The policies shall be endorsed to name Lessor, the
Holder, the Agent and the Lenders, to the extent of their
respective interests, as additional loss payees; provided, so
long as no Lease Event of Default exists, any loss payable
under the insurance policies required by this Section will be
paid to Lessee and Lessee will have the sole authority to
settle any such insurance claim without the need for prior
approval by any such additional loss payee.
(b) During the Term with respect to a Property the area
in which such Property is located is designated a "flood-prone"
area pursuant to the Flood Disaster Protection Act or 1973,
or any amendments or supplements thereto, then Lessee shall
comply with the National Flood Insurance Program as set forth
in the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973. In addition,
Lessee will fully comply with the requirements of the National
Flood Insurance Act of 1968 and the Flood Disaster Protection
Act of 1973, as each may be amended from time to time, and
with any other Legal Requirement, concerning flood insurance
to the extent that it apply to any such Property.

thereafter, Lessee shall furnish Lessor and the Agent with certificates
showing the insurance required under Sections 14.1 and 14.2 to
be in effect, naming Lessor, the Holder, the Agent and the
Lenders as additional insureds and loss payees and evidencing
the other requirements of this Article XIV. All such
insurance shall be at the cost and expense of Lessee. Such
certificates shall include a provision for thirty (30) days' advance
written notice by the insurer to Lessor and the Agent in the
event of cancellation or material alteration of such
insurance. If a Lease Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and Lessor so requests, Lessee shall deliver to
Lessor copies of all insurance policies required by Sections
14.1 and 14.2.
(b) Lessee agrees that the insurance policy or policies
required by Sections 14.1, 14.2(a) and 14.2(b) shall include
an appropriate clause pursuant to which any such policy shall
provide that it will not be invalidated by any act or omission
of Lessee or to the extent Lessee waives, at any time, any or
all rights of recovery against any party for losses covered by
such policy. Lessee hereby waives any and all such rights
against the Lessor, the Holder, the Agent and the Lenders to
the extent of payments made to any such Person under any such
policy.
(c) Neither Lessor nor Lessee shall carry separate
insurance concurrent in kind or form or contributing in the
event of loss with any insurance required under this Article
XIV, except that Lessor may carry separate liability insurance
at Lessor's sole cost so long as (i) Lessee's insurance is
designated as primary and in no event excess or contributory
to any insurance Lessor may have in force which would apply to a
loss covered under Lessee's policy and (ii) each such
insurance policy will not cause Lessee's insurance required under this
Article XIV to be subject to a coinsurance exception of any
kind.
(d) Lessee shall pay as they become due all premiums for
the insurance required by Section 14.1 and Section 14.2, shall
renew or replace each policy prior to the expiration date
thereof or otherwise maintain the coverage required by such
Sections without any lapse in coverage.
(e) Any insurance required to be carried hereunder may
contain such deductibles and/or self insurance consistent with
industry standards and the then current practice of Lessee
with respect to its other properties similar to the Properties.
Any liability insurance required under Section 14.1 may be met
through "blanket" policies of insurance.

ARTICLE XV
15.1 Casualty and Condemnation.

Lessee shall be entitled to receive (and Lessor hereby
irrevocably assigns to Lessee all of Lessor's right, title and
interest in) any award, compensation or insurance proceeds

may become entitled by reason of their respective interests in
a Property (i) if all or a portion of such Property is damaged
or destroyed in whole or in part by a Casualty or (ii) if the
use, access, occupancy, easement rights or title to such
Property or any part thereof is the subject of a Condemnation;

Lessor or, if received by Lessee, shall be held in trust for Lessor,
and shall be paid over by Lessee to Lessor and held in accordance
with the terms of this paragraph (a). All amounts held by

of Lessee's obligations hereunder for the duration of any
applicable cure period.

negotiate, prosecute, adjust or appeal any claim for any

proceeding, action, negotiation, prosecution or adjustment.
Lessor and Lessee agree that this Lease shall control the
rights of Lessor and Lessee in and to any such award,
compensation or insurance payment.

possible Condemnation of a Property or any interest therein

continue in full force and effect following a Casualty or
Condemnation with respect to the affected Property, Lessee
shall, at its sole cost and expense and using, if available,
the proceeds of any award, compensation or insurance with
respect to such Casualty or Condemnation (including, without
limitation, any such award, compensation or insurance which
has been received by the Agent and which should be turned over to
Lessee pursuant to the terms of the Operative Agreements),
promptly and diligently repair any damage to the applicable
Property caused by such Casualty or Condemnation in conformity
with the requirements of Sections 10.1 and 11.1, so as to
restore the applicable Property to substantially the same
condition, operation, function and value as existed immediately
prior to such Casualty or Condemnation. In such event, title
to the applicable Property shall remain with Lessor.
(f) In no event shall a Casualty or Condemnation with
respect to which this Lease remains in full force and effect
under this Section 15.1 affect Lessee's obligations to pay
Rent pursuant to Section 3.1.
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
in Section 15.1(a) or Section 15.1(e), if during the Term with
respect to a Property a Casualty occurs with respect to such
Property or Lessee receives notice of a Condemnation with
respect to such Property, and following such Casualty or
Condemnation, Lessee is unable to use the remaining applicable
Property in substantially the same manner as the Property was
used prior to such Casualty or Condemnation and the applicable

in a manner consistent with the requirements of this Lease by
the earlier to occur of the Expiration Date or the date nine (9)
months after the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation

Provided that no Lease Default or Lease Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, any Excess Proceeds shall be paid
to Lessee. If a Lease Default has occurred and is continuing
and any Loans, Holder Advance or other amounts are owing with

Advance or other amounts owing with respect thereto) shall be
paid to the Lessor.
15.2 Environmental Matters. Promptly upon Lessee's actual
knowledge of the presence of Hazardous Substances in any portion of
any Property or Properties in concentrations and conditions that
constitute an Environmental Violation and which, in the reasonable
opinion of Lessee, the cost to undertake any legally required
response, clean up, remedial or other action will or might result
in a cost to Lessee of more than $100,000, Lessee shall notify Lessor
in writing of such condition. In the event of any Environmental
Violation (regardless of whether notice thereof must be given),
Lessee shall, not later than thirty (30) days after Lessee has

Lessor a Termination Notice with respect to the applicable Property
or Properties pursuant to Section 16.1, if applicable, or, at
Lessee's sole cost and expense, promptly and diligently commence
any response, clean up, remedial or other action (including the
pursuit by Lessee of appropriate action against any off-site or third
party source for contamination, as appropriate) necessary to remove,
cleanup or remediate the Environmental Violation in accordance with
all Environmental Laws. If Lessee does not deliver a Termination
Notice with respect to such Property pursuant to Section 16.1,

occurred and be continuing, and whether or not this Lease shall
have been terminated pursuant to Section 17.1, Lessor may, but shall be
under no obligation to, relet any or all of the Properties, for the
account of Lessee or otherwise, for such term or terms (which may
be greater or less than the period which would otherwise have
constituted the balance of the Term) and on such conditions (which
may include concessions or free rent) and for such purposes as
Lessor may determine, and Lessor may collect, receive and retain
the rents resulting from such reletting. Lessor shall not be liable
to Lessee for any failure to relet any Property or for any failure to
collect any rent due upon such reletting.
17.4 Damages. Neither (a) the termination of this Lease as to
all or any of the Properties pursuant to Section 17.1; (b) the
repossession of all or any of the Properties; nor (c) the failure
of Lessor to relet all or any of the Properties, the reletting of all
or any portion thereof, nor the failure of Lessor to collect or
receive any rentals due upon any such reletting, shall relieve
Lessee of its liabilities and obligations hereunder, all of which
shall survive any such termination, repossession or reletting.
If any Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
and notwithstanding any termination of this Lease pursuant to
Section 17.1, Lessee shall forthwith pay to Lessor all Rent and
other sums due and payable hereunder to and including the date of
such termination. Thereafter, on the days on which the Basic Rent
or Supplemental Rent, as applicable, are payable under this Lease
or would have been payable under this Lease if the same had not been
terminated pursuant to Section 17.1 and until the end of the Term
hereof or what would have been the Term in the absence of such
termination, Lessee shall pay Lessor, as current liquidated damages
(it being agreed that it would be impossible accurately to
determine actual damages) an amount equal to the Basic Rent and Supplemental
Rent that are payable under this Lease or would have been payable
by Lessee hereunder if this Lease had not been terminated pursuant to
Section 17.1, less the net proceeds, if any, which are actually
received by Lessor with respect to the period in question of any
23
reletting of any Property or any portion thereof; provided that
Lessee's obligation to make payments of Basic Rent and Supplemental
Rent under this Section 17.4 shall continue only so long as Lessor
shall not have received the amounts specified in Section 17.6. In
calculating the amount of such net proceeds from reletting, there
shall be deducted all of Lessor's, the Holder's, the Agent's and
any Lenders' reasonable expenses in connection therewith, including
repossession costs, brokerage or sales commissions, fees and
expenses for counsel and any necessary repair or alteration costs
and expenses incurred in preparation for such reletting. To the
extent Lessor receives any damages pursuant to this Section 17.4,
such amounts shall be regarded as amounts paid on account of Rent.
17.5 Power of Sale. Without limiting any other remedies set
forth in this Lease, in the event that a court of competent
jurisdiction rules that this Lease constitutes a mortgage, deed of
trust or other secured financing as is the intent of the parties,
then the Lessor and the Lessee agree that the Lessee has granted,
pursuant to Section 7.1(b) hereof and each Lease Supplement, a Lien
against the Properties WITH POWER OF SALE, and that, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Lease Event of
Default, the Lessor shall have the power and authority, to the extent
provided by law, after prior notice and lapse of such time as may
be required by law, to foreclose its interest (or cause such interest
to be foreclosed) in all or any part of the Properties.
17.6 Final Liquidated Damages. If a Lease Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, whether or not this Lease
shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 17.1 and whether or
not Lessor shall have collected any current liquidated damages
pursuant to Section 17.4, Lessor shall have the right to recover,
by demand to Lessee and at Lessor's election, and Lessee shall pay to
Lessor, as and for final liquidated damages, but exclusive of the
indemnities payable under Section 13 of the Participation
Agreement, and in lieu of all current liquidated damages beyond the date of
such demand (it being agreed that it would be impossible accurately
to determine actual damages) the sum of (a) the Termination Value
for all Properties remaining under this Lease, plus (b) all other
amounts owing in respect of Rent and Supplemental Rent theretofore
accruing under this Lease. Upon payment of the amount specified
pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 17.6, Lessee shall
be entitled to receive from Lessor, either at Lessee's request or
upon Lessor's election, in either case at Lessee's cost, a transfer and
assignment of Lessor's entire right, title and interest in and to
the Properties, the Improvements, Fixtures, Modifications and
Equipment. To effect such transfer and assignment, Lessor shall
execute, acknowledge (where required) and deliver to Lessee each of
the following: (i) a special or limited warranty Deed conveying
the Property (to the extent it is real property) to Lessee free and
clear of the Lien of this Lease, the Lien of the Credit Documents
and any Lessor Liens; (ii) a Xxxx of Sale conveying the Property
(to the extent it is personal property) to
24
Lessee free and clear of the Lien of this Lease, the Lien of the
Credit Documents and any Lessor Liens; (iii) any real estate tax
affidavit or other document required by law to be executed and
filed in order to record the Deed; and (iv) a FIRPTA affidavit. Subject
to the foregoing, the Properties shall be conveyed to Lessee (or
Lessee's designee) "AS IS" and in their then present physical
condition. If any statute or rule of law shall limit the amount of
such final liquidated damages to less than the amount agreed upon,
Lessor shall be entitled to the maximum amount allowable under such
statute or rule of law; provided, however, Lessee shall not be
entitled to receive an assignment of Lessor's interest in the
Properties, the Improvements, Fixtures, Modifications or Equipment
or documents unless Lessee shall have paid in full the Termination
Value and all other amounts due and owing hereunder and under the
other Operative Agreements.
17.7 Lessee's Purchase Option During Default. If Lessee
exercises its Purchase Option in accordance with Section 20.1 with
respect to a Property while a Lease Default or Lease Event of
Default is continuing, the exercise of such Purchase Option shall
be deemed to have cured such Lease Default or Lease Event of Default
to the extent such Lease Default or Lease Event of Default is no
longer continuing with respect to any other Property remaining
subject to this Lease after the exercise of the Purchase Option.
17.8 Waiver of Certain Rights. If this Lease shall be
terminated pursuant to Section 17.1, Lessee waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, (a) any notice of re-entry or the
institution of legal proceedings to obtain re-entry or possession;
(b) any right of redemption, re-entry or possession; (c) the
benefit of any laws now or hereafter in force exempting property from
liability for rent or for debt; and (d) any other rights which
might otherwise limit or modify any of Lessor's rights or remedies under
this Article XVII.
17.9 Assignment of Rights Under Contracts. If a Lease Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and whether or not
this Lease shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 17.1,
Lessee shall upon Lessor's demand immediately assign, transfer and
set over to Lessor all of Lessee's right, title and interest in and
to each agreement executed by Lessee in connection with the
purchase, construction, development, use or operation of the
Properties (including, without limitation, all right, title and
interest of Lessee with respect to all warranty, performance,
service and indemnity provisions), as and to the extent that the
same relate to the purchase, construction, use and operation of the
Properties.
17.10 Remedies Cumulative. The remedies herein provided shall
be cumulative and in addition to (and not in limitation of) any
other remedies available at law, equity or otherwise, including,
without limitation, any mortgage foreclosure remedies.
25
ARTICLE XVIII
18.1 Lessor's Right to Cure Lessee's Lease Defaults.
Lessor, without waiving or releasing any obligation or Lease Event of
Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) remedy any Lease
Event of Default for the account and at the sole cost and expense
of Lessee, including the failure by Lessee to maintain the
insurance required by Article XIV, and may, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, and notwithstanding any right of quiet enjoyment
in favor of Lessee, enter upon any Property, or real property owned
or leased by Lessee and take all such action thereon as may be
necessary or appropriate therefor. No such entry shall be deemed
an eviction of any lessee. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
expenses so incurred (including without limitation reasonable fees
and expenses of counsel), together with interest thereon at the
Overdue Rate from the date on which such sums or expenses are paid
by Lessor, shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor on demand.
ARTICLE XIX
19.1 Provisions Relating to Lessee's Exercise of its Purchase
Option. Subject to Section 19.2, in connection with any
termination of this Lease with respect to any Property pursuant to the terms
of Section 16.2, or in connection with Lessee's exercise of its
Purchase Option or Expiration Date Purchase Option, upon the date
on which this Lease is to terminate with respect to the applicable
Property or upon the Expiration Date with respect to the applicable
Property, and upon tender by Lessee of the amounts set forth in
Sections 16.2(b), 20.1 or 20.2, as applicable, Lessor shall execute
and deliver to Lessee (or to Lessee's designee) at Lessee's cost
and expense an assignment and transfer of Lessor's entire interest in
the applicable Property (which shall include an assignment of all
of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to any Net Proceeds not
previously received by Lessor). To effect such transfer and
assignment, Lessor shall execute, acknowledge (where required) and
deliver to Lessee each of the following: (i) a special or limited
warranty Deed conveying the Property (to the extent it is real
property) to Lessee free and clear of the Lien of this Lease, the
Lien of the Credit Documents and any Lessor Liens; (ii) a Xxxx of
Sale conveying the Property (to the extent it is personal property)
to Lessee free and clear of the Lien of this Lease, the Lien of the
Credit Documents and any Lessor Liens; (iii) any real estate tax
affidavit or other document required by law to be executed and
filed in order to record the Deed; and (iv) a FIRPTA affidavit. Subject
to the foregoing, the applicable Property shall be conveyed to
Lessee "AS IS" "WHERE IS" and in then present physical condition.
19.2 No Termination With Respect to Less than All of a
Property. Lessee shall not be entitled to exercise its Purchase
Option separately with respect to portions of a Property consisting
of Land, Equipment and Improvements but shall be
26
required to exercise its Purchase Option with respect to such
entire Property.
ARTICLE XX
20.1 Purchase Options. Provided that no Lease Default of the
types specified in Sections 17.1(a), (b) or (j) or Lease Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing (unless such Lease
Event of Default involves a single Property and can be cured by the
exercise of the option to purchase by Lessee of such Property and
such Property is referenced in the Purchase Notice (referenced
below)), and subject to Section 19.2, Lessee shall have the option
(the "Purchase Option), exercisable by giving Lessor no less than
sixty (60) days irrevocable written notice (the "Purchase Notice")
of Lessee's election to exercise such option as to any Property, on
any anniversary of the Basic Term Commencement Date for such
Property (or if all Properties are to be acquired on any such
anniversary), to purchase all or one or more Properties on such
date specified in such Purchase Notice at a price equal to the
Termination Value for such Property or Properties (which the
parties do not intend to be a "bargain" purchase price), and Lessee at
such time shall also pay any and all Rent then due and owing and all
other amounts then due and owing (including without limitation
amounts, if any, described in clause FIRST of Section 22.2) (such
Termination Value, Rent and other amounts being hereafter referred
to as the "Purchase Option Price"); provided, however, that unless
the Lessor otherwise consents or the Purchase Option is exercised
after the Construction Period Termination Date with respect to all
of the Properties, the Purchase Option may not be exercised by the
Lessee if, after giving effect to such exercise, the Maximum
Property Cost of the purchased Properties (together with all other
Properties purchased by Lessee pursuant to this Section 20.1) would
be greater than 35% of the greatest Maximum Property Cost
applicable at any time during the Term. If Lessee exercises its Purchase
Option pursuant to this Section 20.1, Lessor shall transfer to
Lessee all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to such
Property as of the date specified in the Purchase Notice upon
receipt of the Purchase Option Price, amounts, if any, referred to
in clause FIRST of Section 22.2 and all Rent and other amounts then
due and payable under this Lease and any other Operative Agreement.
To effect any transfer and assignment by Lessor to Lessee under
this Section 20.1, Lessor shall execute, acknowledge (where
required) and deliver to Lessee each of the following: (i) a
special or limited warranty Deed conveying the Property (to the
extent it is real property) to Lessee free and clear of the Lien of
this Lease, the Lien of the Credit Documents and any Lessor Liens;
(ii) a Xxxx of Sale conveying the Property (to the extent it is
personal property) to Lessee free and clear of the Lien of this
Lease, the Lien of the Credit Documents and any Lessor Liens;
(iii) any real estate tax affidavit or other document required by law to
be executed and filed in order to record the Deed; and (iv) a
FIRPTA affidavit. For purposes of this Lease and the other
Operative Agreements, any and all
27
amounts paid by Lessee pursuant to the provisions of Section
10.3(f) of the Participation Agreement shall be deemed to be amounts paid
and received pursuant to this Section 20.1. Lessee may assign its
rights under this Section 20.1 to another Person; provided, Lessee
shall remain liable for all obligations of Lessee hereunder
respecting Property remaining subject to the terms of this Lease
subsequent to such assignment as if such assignment had not
occurred.
20.2 Expiration Date Purchase or Sale Option. Not less than
90 days and no more than 180 days prior to the Expiration Date,
Lessee may give Lessor and Agent written notice (the "Expiration Date
Election Notice") that Lessee is electing to exercise the
Expiration Date Purchase Option or the option of Lessee to remarket and sell
the Properties pursuant to Section 22.1. If Lessee does not give
an Expiration Date Election Notice at least 90 days and not more than
180 days prior to the then current Expiration Date, then Lessee
shall be obligated to repurchase the Properties pursuant to Section
20.1. If any Property is the subject of remediation efforts
respecting Hazardous Substances at the Expiration Date which could
materially and adversely impact the Fair Market Sales Value of such
Property, then Lessee shall be obligated to repurchase each such
Property pursuant to Section 20.1. Prior to the Expiration Date,
Lessee may rescind its election to remarket the Properties pursuant
to Section 22.1 and elect instead the Expiration Date Purchase
Option. If Lessee shall either (i) elect, or be deemed to have
elected, to exercise the Expiration Date Purchase Option or (ii)
elect to remarket the Properties pursuant to Section 22.1 and fail
to cause all of the Properties to be sold on the Expiration Date in
accordance with the terms of Sections 20.1 or 22.1, respectively,
then in either case, on the Expiration Date Lessee shall pay to
Lessor an amount equal to the Termination Value for all the
Properties (which the parties do not intend to be a "bargain"
purchase) and, upon receipt of such amount plus all Rent and other
amounts then due and payable under this Lease and under any other
Operative Agreement (including without limitation the amounts
described in clause FIRST of Section 22.2), Lessor shall transfer
to Lessee all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to the
Properties in accordance with Section 19.1.
20.3 Lessor's Transfer Option. If, on the Construction Period
Termination Date, there are fewer than four (4) Properties then
subject to the terms of this Lease, then Lessor shall have the
option to give Lessee irrevocable written notice that Lessor, on a
Payment Date that is not less than thirty (30) days after the date
of such written notice, shall transfer and convey all of its right,
title and interest in and to any or all of the Properties to
Lessee. On any transfer and conveyance date specified by Lessor
pursuant to this Section 20.3, (i) Lessor shall transfer and convey
all of its right, title and interest in and to any or all of the
Properties previously specified to Lessee, (ii) Lessee shall accept
such transfer and conveyance of right, title and interest in and to
the respective Property or Properties and (iii) Lessee shall pay
the Termination Value for
28
such respective Property or Properties and all Rent and other
amounts then due and payable under this Lease and under any other
Operative Agreement (including without limitation all costs and
expenses referred to in clause FIRST of Section 22.2), in
accordance with Section 19.1.
ARTICLE XXI
21.1 Renewal. Provided that no Lease Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing and provided that the Lenders agree
at such time to extend the Maturity Date to a date that is
identical to the final day of the Extended Term, at the Basic Term
Expiration Date, Lessee may renew this Lease (the "Renewal Option") for the
Extended Term upon not more than 180 days and not less than 90 days
prior written notice to Lessor, with respect to all Property, other
than Property which Lessee shall have elected to purchase pursuant
to Section 20.1. Unless otherwise agreed, any such renewal of this
Lease for the Extended Term shall be on the same terms and
conditions as set forth in this Lease for the original Term (which
the parties do not intend to be a "bargain" renewal), subject in
any case to renegotiation of the rental rate applicable during the
Extended Term.
ARTICLE XXII
22.1 Sale Procedure.
(a) During the Marketing Period, Lessee, on behalf of
any assignee of Lessee pursuant to Section 25.1 or the Lessor,
shall obtain bids for the cash purchase of all of the
Properties in connection with a sale to one or more purchasers
to be consummated on the Expiration Date for the highest price
available (subject to the proviso in the next sentence), shall
notify Lessor promptly of the name and address of each
prospective purchaser and the cash price which each
prospective purchaser shall have offered to pay for any Property and
shall provide Lessor with such additional information about the
bids and the bid solicitation procedure as Lessor may reasonably
request from time to time. Lessor may reject any and all bids
and may assume sole responsibility for obtaining bids by
giving Lessee written notice to that effect; provided, however, that
notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor may not reject the bids
for the Properties submitted by the Lessee if such bids, in
the aggregate, are greater than or equal to the sum of the
Limited Recourse Amount for all of the Properties, plus all amounts,
if any, referred to in clause FIRST of Section 22.2 and
represent bona fide offers from one or more third party
purchasers. If the price which a prospective purchaser or
purchasers shall have offered to pay for the Properties is
less than the sum of the Limited Recourse Amount plus all
costs and expenses referred to in clause FIRST of Section
22.2, Lessor may elect to retain all the
29
Properties by giving Lessee prior written notice of Lessor's
election to retain the Properties, and upon receipt of such
notice, Lessee shall surrender, or cause to be surrendered,
the Properties to Lessor pursuant to Section 10.1. Unless Lessor
shall have elected to retain the Properties pursuant to the
preceding sentence, Lessee shall arrange for Lessor to sell
the Properties, for cash on the Expiration Date to the purchaser
or purchasers identified by Lessee or Lessor, as the case may
be. To effect such transfer and assignment, Lessor shall
execute, acknowledge (where required) and deliver to Lessee
each of the following: (i) a special or limited warranty Deed
conveying the Property (to the extent it is real property) to
Lessee free and clear of the Lien of this Lease, the Lien of
the Credit Documents and any Lessor Liens; (ii) a Xxxx of Sale
conveying the Property (to the extent it is personal property)
to Lessee free and clear of the Lien of this Lease, the Lien
of the Credit Documents and any Lessor Liens; (iii) any real
estate tax affidavit or other document required by law to be
executed and filed in order to record the Deed; and (iv) a
FIRPTA affidavit. Lessee shall surrender, or cause to be
surrendered, the Property so sold or subject to such documents
to each purchaser in the condition specified in Section 10.1.
Neither party shall take any action or fail to take any action
(where action is required under the Operative Agreements)
which would have the effect of discouraging bona fide third
party bids for any Property. If all of the Properties are not
either (i) sold on the Expiration Date in accordance with the
terms of this Section 22.1, or (ii) retained by the Lessor
pursuant to an affirmative election made by the Lessor
pursuant to the third sentence of this Section 22.1(a), then
the Lessee shall be obligated to pay the Lessor on the
Expiration Date an amount equal to the Termination Value for
all of the Properties (plus all Rent and other amounts then
due and payable under this Lease and any other Operative
Agreements) in accordance with the terms of Section 20.2.
(b) If the Properties are sold on the Expiration Date to
one or more third party purchasers in accordance with the
terms of Section 22.1(a) and the aggregate purchase price paid for
the Properties minus the sum of all amounts, if any, referred
to in clause FIRST of Section 22.2 is less than the sum of the
aggregate Termination Values for all of the Properties plus
all Rent and other amounts then due and payable under this Lease
and under any other Operative Agreements (hereinafter such
difference shall be referred to as the "Deficiency Balance"),
then the Lessee hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the
Lessor on the Expiration Date the lesser of (i) the Deficiency
Balance, or (ii) the Maximum Residual Guarantee Amount for all
of the Properties. If the Properties are retained by the
Lessor pursuant to an affirmative election made by the Lessor
pursuant to the third sentence of Section 22.1(a), then the
Lessee hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Lessor
30
on the Expiration Date an amount equal to the aggregate
Maximum Residual Guaranty Amounts for all of the Properties.
(c) In the event the Properties are either sold to a
third party purchaser on the Expiration Date or retained by
the Lessor in connection with an affirmative election by the
Lessor pursuant to the third sentence of Section 22.1(a), then
in either case on the Expiration Date the Lessee shall
provide, or cause to be provided, Lessor or such third party
purchaser, with (i) all permits, certificates of occupancy,
governmental licenses and authorizations (to the extent such
licenses or authorizations are transferable) necessary to use
and operate such Property for its intended purposes, (ii) such
easements, licenses, rights-of-way and other rights and
privileges in the nature of an easement as are reasonably
necessary or desirable in connection with the use, repair,
access to or maintenance of such Property for its intended
purpose or otherwise as the Lessor shall reasonably request,
and (iii) a services agreement covering such services as
Lessor or such third party purchaser may request in order to
use and operate the Property for its intended purposes at such
rates (not in excess of arm's- length fair market rates) as
shall be acceptable to Lessee and Lessor or such third party
purchaser. All assignments, licenses, easements, agreements
and other deliveries required by clauses (i) and (ii) of this
paragraph (c) shall be in form satisfactory to the Lessor or
such third party purchaser, as applicable, and shall be fully
assignable (including both primary assignments and assignments
given in the nature of security) without payment of any fee,
cost or other charge.
22.2 Application of Proceeds of Sale. The Lessor shall apply
the proceeds of sale of any Property in the following order of
priority:
(i) FIRST, to pay or to reimburse Lessor for the
payment of all reasonable costs and expenses, if any, incurred
by Lessor in connection with the sale;
(ii) SECOND, so long as the Credit Agreement is in
effect and the Holder Advance or any amount is owing to the
Holder under any Operative Agreement, to the Agent to be
applied pursuant to inter-creditor provisions between the
Lenders and the Holder contained in Section 8 of the Credit
Agreement and any other applicable provisions of the Operative
Agreements; and
(iii) THIRD, to the Lessee.
22.3 (intentionally omitted).
22.4 (intentionally omitted).
31
22.5 Certain Obligations Continue. During the Marketing
Period, the obligation of Lessee to pay Rent with respect to the
Properties (including the installment of Basic Rent due on the
Expiration Date) shall continue undiminished until payment in full
to Lessor of the sale proceeds, if any, the Maximum Residual
Guarantee Amount and all other amounts due to Lessor with respect
to all Properties. Lessor shall have the right, but shall be under
no duty, to solicit bids, to inquire into the efforts of Lessee to
obtain bids or otherwise to take action in connection with any such
sale, other than as expressly provided in this Article XXII.
22.6 Sale of Undeveloped Pads. Provided that no Lease Default
or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
Lessee shall have the option, exercisable by giving Lessor no less
than thirty (30) days written notice of Lessee's election to
transfer and convey any undeveloped Land (excluding any de minimis
site improvements) regarding any Property on the following terms
and conditions: (a) the Person to whom the transfer and conveyance is
made shall not be an Affiliate of Lessee; (b) the purchase price
for such Land shall be equal to or greater than the Fair Market Sales
Value thereof and shall be promptly paid to Lessor (and in any
event within three (3) Business Days after such transfer and
conveyance); (c) the applicable Property, excluding such Land transferred and
conveyed therefrom, shall (on and after the date of such transfer
and conveyance) satisfy all of the terms and conditions of the
Operative Agreements and (d) all Rent and other amounts due and
payable by Lessee under any Operative Agreement shall be paid on or
prior to the date of such transfer and conveyance.
ARTICLE XXIII
23.1 Holding Over. If Lessee shall for any reason remain in
possession of a Property after the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease as to such Property (unless such Property is
conveyed to Lessee), such possession shall be as a tenancy at sufferance
during which time Lessee shall continue to pay Supplemental Rent
that would be payable by Lessee hereunder were the Lease then in
full force and effect with respect to the Property and Lessee shall
continue to pay Basic Rent at 110% of the Basic Rent that would
otherwise be due and payable at such time. Such Basic Rent shall
be payable from time to time upon demand by Lessor and such
additional 10% amount shall be applied by the Lessor to the payment of the
Loans pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the Holder Advance
pursuant to the Trust Agreement pro rata between the Loans and the
Holder Advance. During any period of tenancy at sufferance, Lessee
shall, subject to the second preceding sentence, be obligated to
perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of
this Lease, but shall have no rights hereunder other than the
right, to the extent given by law to tenants at sufferance, to continue
their occupancy and use of such Property. Nothing contained in
this Article XXIII shall constitute the consent, express or implied,
32
of Lessor to the holding over of Lessee after the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease as to any Property (unless such
Property is conveyed to Lessee) and nothing contained herein shall
be read or construed as preventing Lessor from maintaining a suit
for possession of such Property or exercising any other remedy
available to Lessor at law or in equity.
ARTICLE XXIV
24.1 Risk of Loss. During the Term, unless Lessee shall not
be in actual possession of the Property in question solely by reason
of Lessor's exercise of its remedies of dispossession under Article
XVII, the risk of loss or decrease in the enjoyment and beneficial
use of such Property as a result of the damage or destruction
thereof by fire, the elements, casualties, thefts, riots, wars or
otherwise is assumed by Lessee, and Lessor shall in no event be
answerable or accountable therefor.
ARTICLE XXV
25.1 Assignment.
(a) Without the consent of the Lessor, Lessee may
assign, subject to Section 25.1(b), this Lease and its rights
hereunder in whole or in part to any Person provided the
aggregate Property Cost of all such Properties under
assignment, at the time such assignment becomes effective,
does not exceed 25% of the aggregate Property Cost of all
Properties then subject to this Lease. Lessee may not assign
this Lease or its rights hereunder in whole or in part in
addition to that referenced in the preceding sentence without
first obtaining the prior written consent of the Lessor. Each
assignment hereunder shall be made in the normal course of
Lessee's business, on commercially reasonable terms and at
market rates.
(b) No such assignment or other relinquishment of
possession to any Property shall in any way discharge or
diminish any of the obligations of Lessee to Lessor hereunder
and Lessee shall remain directly and primarily liable under
this Lease as to any assignment regarding this Lease.
25.2 Subleases.
(a) Without the consent of the Lessor, Lessee may
sublet, subject to Section 25.2(c), any Property or portion thereof
to (i) any wholly-owned Subsidiary of Lessee or (ii) any Person
(which is not a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Lessee) provided
the aggregate Property Cost of all such Properties under sublease
to Persons (which are not wholly- owned Subsidiaries of
Lessee), at the time such sublease becomes effective, does not
exceed 25% of the aggregate
33
Property Cost of all Properties then subject to this Lease.
Lessee may not sublet any Property or portion thereof in
addition to that referenced in the preceding sentence without
first obtaining the prior written consent of the Lessor. Each
sublease hereunder shall be made in the normal course of
Lessee's business, on commercially reasonable terms and at
market rates. Each sublease may be for a term less than,
equal to or greater than the Term, as extended from time to time.
(b) Promptly following the execution and delivery of any
sublease permitted by this Article XXV, Lessee shall notify
Lessor and the Agent of the execution of such sublease. As of
the date of each Lease Supplement, Lessee shall lease the
respective Properties described in such Lease Supplement from
Lessor, and any existing tenant respecting such Property shall
automatically be deemed to be a subtenant of Lessee and not a
tenant of Lessor.
(c) No such sublease or other relinquishment of
possession to any Property shall in any way discharge or
diminish any of Lessee's obligations to Lessor hereunder and
Lessee shall remain directly and primarily liable under this
Lease as to the Property, or portion thereof, so sublet.
ARTICLE XXVI
26.1 No Waiver. No failure by Lessor or Lessee to insist upon
the strict performance of any term hereof or to exercise any right,
power or remedy upon a default hereunder, and no acceptance of full

Credit Agreement with a similar credit facility (the "New
Facility") the covenants contained in the New Facility which
correspond to the covenants contained in Section 10 of the 1994
Credit Agreement shall become the Incorporated Covenants hereunder
only if consented to in writing by the Lessor and the Majority
Lenders and, if such consent is not granted or if the 1994 Credit
Agreement is terminated and not replaced, then the covenants
contained in Section 10 of the 1994 Credit Agreement (together with
any modifications or amendments approved in accordance with this
paragraph) shall continue to be the Incorporated Covenants
hereunder.
