RECITALS:
WHEREAS, Owner owns the real property (the “Property”) located at the intersection of Fox Street and Xxxxxxx Avenue in Philadelphia, PA comprising approximately eighteen (18) acres and more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof; and
WHEREAS, Owner and Xxxxx have reached agreement with respect to Owner granting Xxxxx (i) an option to lease the Property on and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Ground Lease attached hereto as Exhibit B and made a part hereof (the “Ground Lease”), and (ii) an option to purchase the Property in lieu of leasing the Property on and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties intending to be legally bound hereby agree as follows:
1. Grant of Options; Lease Option Price; Termination Fee; Security. Owner, for and in consideration of the sum of [*****]($[*****]) Dollars, or such lesser sum as may due and payable hereunder (the “Option Price”), to be paid by Xxxxx to Owner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and in consideration of the covenants and agreements herein contained, does hereby give, grant and convey to Xxxxx or an affiliate of Xxxxx the sole and exclusive right and option to either (i) lease the Property on the terms and conditions set forth in the Ground Lease (the “Lease Option”), or (ii) purchase the Property on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Purchase Option”). Xxxxx shall pay the Option Price to Owner as follows:
a. [*****] ($[*****]) Dollars upon execution and delivery of this Agreement;
b. [*****] ($[*****]) Dollars upon execution and delivery of this Agreement, representing the quarterly payment for the period from the date hereof through and including October 30, 2005; and
***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED ***
c. Quarterly payments, in advance for the three month period immediately following the due date thereof, in the amount of [*****] ($[*****]) Dollars on each of the following dates: October 31, 2005, January 31, 2006, April 30, 2006, July 31, 2006, October 31, 2006, January 31, 2007, April 30, 2007, July 31, 2007, October 31, 2007, January 31, 2008, April 30, 2008, July 31, 2008, October 31, 2008, January 31, 2009, April 30, 2009, July 31, 2009, October 31, 2009, January 31, 2010 and April 30, 2010 (each, a “Quarterly Payment”).
Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Option Price (and all installments thereof) paid in accordance herewith shall be nonrefundable and shall be retained by Owner whether or not the Lease Option or the Purchase Option is exercised in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event Xxxxx fails to make any Quarterly Payment within ten (10) days after written notice that the same is due, Xxxxx shall be deemed to have terminated this Agreement and, as a result thereof Xxxxx shall have no further rights related to the Property or under this Agreement or the Ground Lease. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, however, if the Lease Option or Purchase Option is exercised or both are terminated, in each case in accordance with the terms hereof, all Quarterly Payments due subsequent to the date of such exercise or termination shall be deemed waived and no longer due or payable. In the event Xxxxx terminates this Agreement (including, but not limited to, as a result of its failure to make any Quarterly Payment within ten (10) days after written notice that the same is due), or fails to exercise either the Lease Option or Purchase Option within the Term (as hereinafter defined), then Xxxxx shall immediately pay Owner a termination fee in the amount of [*****] ($[*****]) Dollars (the “Termination Fee”), which Termination Fee shall be in addition to all other sums due and payable under this Agreement.
Upon execution and delivery of this Agreement, Xxxxx shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Owner a letter of credit (the “Initial Letter of Credit”) issued by a bank or other lending institution having assets of at least $50,000,000,000.00 or a Standard & Poors rating of “A” or better which has an office where letters of credit may be drawn upon in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which Initial Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Owner and secure the obligation of Xxxxx hereunder and/or the tenant under the Ground Lease to pay to Owner and/or the landlord under the Ground Lease, the first [*****] ($[*****]) Dollars due and payable under this Agreement and/or the Ground Lease (other than that portion of the Option Price payable upon execution of this Agreement), whether in the form of payments of the Option Price (other than that portion of the Option Price payable upon execution of this Agreement), Termination Fee, Base Rent or Percentage Rent or portions thereof (collectively, the “Initial Secured Obligation”). Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Ground Lease to the contrary, the Initial Letter of Credit shall be released and automatically deemed to have been terminated and be of no further force or effect immediately upon the Owner’s and/or landlord’s receipt of the Initial Secured Obligation.
2. Term. The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence on the date hereof and shall expire on July 31, 2010 or such earlier date if Xxxxx fails to timely make any payments hereunder or is otherwise in default under this Agreement and fails to cure such failure within ten (10) days of notice thereof (except that no notice shall be required in the event of the third monetary default hereunder). Xxxxx may exercise the Lease Option or Purchase Option at any time during the Term, by providing written notice thereof to Owner (as applicable, the “Exercise Notice”) and otherwise complying with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which Exercise Notice must be received by Owner prior to the expiration of the Term, time being of the essence.

***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED ***
3. Exercise of Lease Option. In the event of Trump’s exercise of the Lease Option, along with the Exercise Notice, Xxxxx shall deliver to Owner four (4) copies of the Ground Lease all executed by the tenant thereunder. In addition, Xxxxx shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Owner, along with the Exercise Notice, a letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) issued by a bank or other lending institution having assets of at least $50,000,000,000.00 or a Standard & Poors rating of “A” or better which has an office where letters of credit may be drawn upon in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Owner and secure the obligation of Xxxxx hereunder and/or the tenant under the Ground Lease to pay to Owner and/or the landlord under the Ground Lease, the first [*****] ($[*****]) Dollars due and payable under this Agreement and/or the Ground Lease (other than that portion of the Option Price payable upon execution of this Agreement and the obligations secured by the Initial Letter of Credit), whether in the form of payments of the Option Price, Termination Fee, Base Rent or Percentage Rent or portions thereof (other than that portion of the Option Price payable upon execution of this Agreement and the obligations secured by the Initial Letter of Credit) (collectively, the “Secured Lease Obligation”). Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Ground Lease to the contrary, the Letter of Credit shall be released and automatically deemed to have been terminated and be of no further force or effect immediately upon the Owner’s and/or landlord’s receipt of the Secured Lease Obligation. Within five (5) days after receipt by Owner of the Exercise Notice, Ground Lease and Letter of Credit referred to in this Section 3 (collectively, the “Lease Exercise Documents”), Owner shall execute all four (4) copies of the Ground Lease and deliver two (2) fully executed copies to Xxxxx. In the event Xxxxx fails to provide Owner prior to the expiration of the Term with the executed Lease Exercise Documents, this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the expiration of the Term and be of no further force or effect; provided, however, that Xxxxx shall immediately pay to Owner the Termination Fee in immediately available funds. If Xxxxx timely and properly delivers the Lease Exercise Documents, but Owner fails to deliver the two (2) fully executed copies of the Ground Lease as aforesaid, then Xxxxx shall, following five (5) days’ written notice to Owner (unless Owner cures such failure within said five (5) days), have any and all rights and remedies at law and in equity including, but not limited to, the right to require the immediate return of all payments made toward the Option Price. Further, in the event Xxxxx timely and properly delivers the Lease Exercise Documents, but Owner fails to deliver possession of the Property to the tenant under the Ground Lease in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, then Xxxxx and the tenant under the Ground Lease shall each have all rights and remedies available at law or in equity including, but not limited to, the right to rescind the exercise of the Lease Option and/or the right to terminate the Ground Lease, as applicable, by providing forty-five (45) days’ prior written notice thereof to Owner (each, a “Termination”); provided, however, that in the event Owner cures such default within the foregoing forty-five (45) day period, then the termination notice and the Termination shall be null and void, the Lease Option exercise shall be deemed to remain in effect and the Ground Lease and all other Lease Exercise Documents shall continue in full force and effect. In the event a Termination occurs and is not cured within the foregoing forty-five (45) day period, then Owner shall immediately return to Xxxxx in immediate funds the portion of the Option Price actually paid by Xxxxx hereunder and Xxxxx and the tenant under the Ground Lease shall have such additional rights and remedies as may be available at law or in equity.

4. Exercise of Purchase Option. In the event of Trump’s exercise of the Purchase Option, Xxxxx shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Owner along with the Exercise Notice, a Letter of Credit in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Owner, securing the obligation of Xxxxx hereunder to pay to Owner the first [****] ($[*****]) Dollars due and payable under this Agreement (other than that portion of the Option Price payable upon execution of this Agreement and the obligations secured by the Initial Letter of Credit), whether in the form of payments of the Option Price (other than that portion of the Option Price payable upon execution of this Agreement) or Termination Fee or portions thereof (the “Secured Purchase Obligation”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Letter of Credit shall be released and automatically deemed to have been terminated and be of no further force or effect immediately upon the Owner’s receipt of the Secured Purchase Obligation. The closing of title (“Closing”) shall take place on the first business day following the ninetieth (90th) day after the Exercise Notice. At Closing, Owner shall (a) convey to Xxxxx or Xxxxx’x designee, by special warranty deed, good and marketable fee simple title to the Property, insurable at regular rates without exception other than the matters specifically identified on Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Permitted Exceptions”) and otherwise in compliance with the terms of Section 4 of the Ground Lease, (b) execute and deliver to Xxxxx or Trump’s designee and Trump’s or Trump’s designee’s title insurer a title affidavit of Owner in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Xxxxx and/or its designee, and (c) execute and deliver to Xxxxx or Trump’s designee such other documents and/or instruments as may be reasonably required by Xxxxx, Xxxxx’x designee and/or either of the foregoing’s lenders or title insurers, provided that same do not impose any cost or material obligation on Owner or any affiliate of Owner. Owner and Xxxxx or Trump’s designee shall share equally any federal, state or local realty transfer tax (or other tax or obligation in lieu thereof) imposed as a result of such purchase and sale and shall pay same at Closing. The purchase price to be paid by Xxxxx or its designee to Owner at Closing for the Property shall be the sum of ******************************************************************************************

******* The Purchase Price shall be adjusted between the parties ninety (90) days after the earlier of the end of the fifth (5th) year of substantially continuous gaming operations at the Property, and the tenth (10th) anniversary of Closing, to reflect the actual Gross Gaming Revenue during said five (5) years of operations and the applicable overpayment or underpayment shall be paid within five (5) days of the determination thereof; provided, however, in no event shall Owner be obligated to return any of the Purchase Price to Xxxxx or its designee as a result of such adjustment unless a gaming facility has been substantially continuously open and operating at the Property for at least five (5) years. If Xxxxx timely and properly delivers the Exercise Notice and Letter of Credit (collectively, the “Purchase Exercise Documents”), but Owner fails to satisfy each of its obligations with respect to the Purchase Option as set forth herein, then Xxxxx shall, following forty-five (45) days’ written notice to Owner (unless Owner cures such failure within said forty-five (45) days), have any and all rights and remedies at law or in equity including, but not limited to, the right to rescind the Exercise Notice and the right to require the immediate return of all payments made toward the Option

Price; provided, however, that in the event Owner cures such default within the foregoing forty-five (45) day period, then the rescinding of the Exercise Notice shall be null and void and Owner shall not be obligated to return any payments made toward the Option Price. In addition, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Xxxxx shall have the right, within forty-five (45) days of the expiration of Owner’s right to cure its default, to deliver an Exercise Notice pursuant to the Lease Option. The obligations of the parties hereunder shall survive Closing.
5. Indemnification.
(a) Xxxxx shall defend, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Owner, indemnify and save Owner harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, suffered or incurred by Owner that result from (i) the use, operation and/or management of the Property or any improvements thereon, whether by Xxxxx or anyone claiming or holding through Xxxxx (including, but not limited to, any employees, contractors, subtenants, licensees, invitees or agents of Xxxxx), (ii) any breach or default on the part of Xxxxx (or anyone claiming or holding through Xxxxx) in the observance of, or performance of its obligations under, this Agreement, (iii) any injury to or death of any person, or damage to or loss of property on or by reason of activity on the Property, but in each case only to the extent relating to the period subsequent to the earlier of Closing and the Commencement Date (as such term is defined in the Ground Lease) and to the extent caused by the negligence or wanton or willful misconduct of Xxxxx or anyone claiming or holding through Xxxxx (including, but not limited to, any employees, contractors, subtenants, licensees, invitees or agents of Xxxxx), and not having arisen by reason of or in connection with (y) the negligence or wanton or willful misconduct of Owner or Owner’s employees, agents or contractors, and/or (z) Owner’s breach or default in the observance of, or performance of its obligations under, this Agreement or the Ground Lease.
(b) Owner shall defend, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Xxxxx, indemnify and save Xxxxx harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, suffered or incurred by Xxxxx that result from (i) the use, operation and/or management of the Property or any improvements thereon, whether by Owner or anyone claiming or holding through Owner (other than Xxxxx or anyone claiming or holding through Xxxxx or any employees, contractors, subtenants, licensees, invitees or agents of Xxxxx and such third parties) prior to the earlier of the Commencement Date and the Closing Date, (ii) any breach or default on the part of Owner (or anyone claiming or holding through Owner, other than Xxxxx or anyone claiming or holding through Xxxxx or any employees, contractors, subtenants, licensees, invitees or agents of any of the foregoing) in the observance of, or performance of its obligations under, this Agreement or the Ground Lease, (iii) any injury to or death of any person, or damage to or loss of property on or by reason of activity on the Property, but in each case only to the extent relating to the period prior to the earlier of the Commencement Date and the Closing Date, and not having arisen by reason of or in connection with (y) the negligence or wanton or willful misconduct of Xxxxx or anyone claiming or holding through Xxxxx or any employees, contractors, subtenants, licensees, invitees or agents of any of the foregoing, and/or (z) Trump’s breach or default in the observance of, or performance of its obligations under, this Agreement; but specifically excluding in the case of each of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), liability, if any, for which Owner is to be indemnified under the Ground Lease.

***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED ***
(c) Notice of Claim. Any party seeking indemnification hereunder shall give prompt notice to the other party of the basis therefore. The failure on the part of such party to give such notice shall not relieve the other party from its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the failure to give such notice results in actual loss or damage to the indemnifying party.
(d) Survival. The obligations of the parties pursuant to this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
6. Applications for Licensing and Development. The parties acknowledge and agree that the award to Xxxxx or its designee of a license to operate a gaming facility at the Property and the acquisition and maintenance of related development agreements and approvals are instrumental to Xxxxx. Accordingly, Owner covenants and agrees, at no out-of-pocket cost to Owner, to fully cooperate with and assist Xxxxx and Xxxxx’x agents and representatives in applying for, securing and maintaining such licenses, approvals and other consents, permits and/or agreements as Xxxxx may deem necessary or desirable and as are reasonably acceptable to Owner. Moreover, Owner covenants and agrees, at no out-of-pocket cost to Owner, to fully cooperate with and assist Xxxxx and Xxxxx’x agents and representatives in connection with the acquisition from third parties of additional real property interests contiguous to the Property. The obligations of Owner pursuant to this Section shall survive exercise of the Lease Option, the purchase option set forth in the Lease, and/or the Purchase Option, but not the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

During the Term, Xxxxx and its representatives and contractors may at any reasonable time and from time to time, enter upon the Property for the purposes of investigating and inspecting same, making surveys, maps and/or contour studies, performing test borings, soil tests and/or examinations, and conducting other studies including, but not limited to such environmental studies as Xxxxx may elect (collectively, the “Due Diligence Investigation”). Xxxxx shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time upon written notice to Owner if Xxxxx is not satisfied with any aspect of its Due Diligence Investigation, in which event (i) all payments theretofore made toward the Option Price shall be retained by Owner, (ii) Xxxxx shall immediately pay to Owner the Termination Fee and any then due, but not previously paid, Quarterly Payments, (iii) Xxxxx shall thereafter be relieved of all obligations with respect to those Quarterly Payments not then due and payable, and (iv) except as expressly set forth herein or in the Ground Lease to the contrary, Xxxxx shall have no further rights or liabilities related to the Property and neither Xxxxx, the Tenant named under the Ground Lease or Owner shall have any further liabilities or rights under this Agreement or the Ground Lease.

***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED ***
anyone claiming by or through Owner, or the employees, contractors, agents, representatives or invitees of any of the foregoing (other than Xxxxx or anyone claiming by or through Xxxxx, or the employees, contractors, agents, representatives or invitees of any of the foregoing). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the discovery of Hazardous Substances or Hazardous Wastes (as such terms are defined in the Ground Lease) or other negative conditions at the Property during the course of the Due Diligence Investigation and/or any legal duty to report same or the reporting of same to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (“PADEP”) or other federal, state or local governmental authority, shall not serve as the basis for a claim for indemnification by Owner against Xxxxx pursuant to this paragraph (b). The obligations of Xxxxx pursuant to this paragraph shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
c. Prior to any entry onto the Property by Xxxxx or any of Trump’s representatives, Xxxxx or its representatives shall furnish Owner with a copy of a certificate of insurance for Xxxxx and its representatives from a duly licensed insurance company indicating that insurance policies are in effect for commercial liability coverage for death or injury to persons and/or property of not less than One Million and 00/100ths ($1,000,000.00) Dollars per occurrence/claim and in the aggregate together with evidence of the payment of all associated premiums.

Xxxxx makes no representation or warranty as to the correctness or completeness of the Xxxxx Reports and Owner expressly waives any claim whatsoever arising from the use of the Xxxxx Reports including, but not limited to, Owner’s (or anyone holding or claiming through Owner) reliance upon the Xxxxx Reports. Owner represents and warrants to Xxxxx, each of which representations and warranties shall survive for the lesser of three (3) years from the date of this Agreement and one (1) year from the date of Trump’s exercise of either the Lease Option or Purchase Option, that (i) prior to the date hereof, to Owner’s actual knowledge as of the date hereof, Owner has delivered complete copies of all environmental reports previously obtained by Owner and relating, in whole or in part, to the Property (collectively, the “Owner Reports”) and same are described on Exhibit D attached hereto and made a part hereof, (ii) Owner has no knowledge of the existence of any other environmental reports relating to the Property or any part thereof, except as may be referenced in the Owner Reports, and (iii) Owner has no actual knowledge of any Hazardous Substance or Hazardous Waste in, on, under or about the Property in violation of any Environmental Laws (as such term is defined in the Ground Lease), except as described in the Owner Reports.

8. Environmental Remediation and Removal of X-Ray Building; Indemnifications.
a. Within the later of (y) two hundred forty (240) days from the date hereof, and (z) one hundred twenty (120) days of the delivery of the Lease Exercise Documents or Purchase Exercise Documents by Xxxxx, Owner shall commence and thereafter diligently prosecute to completion the undertakings described in subparagraphs (i) through (iv) below. These undertakings shall be performed at Owner’s sole cost and expense (subject to reimbursement in accordance with subsection b below).
(i) Existing Cleanup Plan. Provide Xxxxx with written documentation of PADEP’s concurrence with Owner’s August 2005 Remedial Investigation Report/Cleanup Plan prepared by RT Environmental Services, Inc., a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit E and made a part hereof (the “Cleanup Plan”), together with not less than monthly letter reports from Owner’s environmental consultant as to the then-current status of the cleanup and then-projected completion date. As described in Owner’s March 17, 2005 Notice of Intent to Remediate, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit F and made a part hereof (“NIR”), the Cleanup Plan shall be used by Owner to demonstrate attainment of the Act 2 remediation standards selected in the Cleanup Plan for each contaminant of concern (in soil) identified in the Cleanup Plan, based on a non-residential use. Owner acknowledges that Xxxxx intends to construct a hotel and gaming establishment on the Property;
(ii) Act 2 Release. Obtain and provide to Xxxxx a copy of a final report approval letter on behalf of Owner and (by operation of law and in accordance with Section 501 of Act 2) Xxxxx under Act 2 from PADEP that demonstrates that Owner has completed the remediation contemplated by NIR and as approved by PADEP (the “Act 2 Cleanup”). Owner shall also promptly provide Xxxxx with any deficiency letters issued by the PADEP in connection with Owner’s implementation of the Cleanup Plan, if any, and Owner’s written response to such deficiency letter(s), together with a copy of the final report, risk assessment and/or other documentation submitted by or on behalf of Owner in connection with attaining the final report approval letter from PADEP. Xxxxx acknowledges that deed notices and/or deed restrictions may be required in connection with the Act 2 Cleanup, and Xxxxx agrees to cooperate reasonably with Owner in creating and recording such notices and/or restrictions, at no out-of-pocket cost to Xxxxx, provided that such deed notices and/or deed restrictions do not unreasonably interfere with Trump’s construction, operation or maintenance of a hotel and gaming establishment on the Property. Xxxxx further acknowledges that engineering controls may be required in connection with Owner’s performance of the Act 2 Cleanup. Prior to instituting such controls, Owner shall obtain Trump’s express written consent to implement the controls, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Such controls are to be implemented by or on behalf of Owner at no out-of-pocket cost to Xxxxx and shall not unreasonably interfere with Trump’s construction, operation or maintenance of a hotel and gaming establishment on the Property. Xxxxx acknowledges that capping with asphalt or other material satisfactory to PADEP and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“USEPA”) would not unreasonably interfere with such construction, operation or maintenance. Xxxxx further acknowledges that in the event Owner obtains an Act 2 release as contemplated by the NIR and the Cleanup Plan, Xxxxx may not be able to construct, operate and/or maintain a hotel and gaming establishment, or other improvement, on the Property without first performing further environmental investigation and/or cleanup in order to meet requirements of PADEP and/or USEPA. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that Xxxxx exercises the Purchase Option (or the purchase
8
***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED ***
option set forth in the Ground Lease) prior to Owner obtaining the final report approval letter as required hereunder, Owner shall be required to execute and deliver to Xxxxx at Closing an Act 2 Buyer/Seller Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G and made a part hereof (and any changes thereto in form or substance shall require the consent of Xxxxx, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed);
(iii) Post-Remediation Care. Provide Xxxxx with a copy of any post-remediation care program that may be required in order to obtain the final report approval letter required herein or in connection with the Remediation and Removal (as defined below), it being understood and agreed that to the extent that Xxxxx exercises the Purchase Option (or the purchase option set forth in the Ground Lease), Xxxxx shall be responsible for, and shall expressly assume in an enforceable agreement with PADEP, the performance of any such post-remediation care program; and
(iv) Underground Storage Tank and X-Ray Building. In compliance with applicable Environmental Laws (a) remove, transport and dispose of the existing 2,000 gallon underground storage tank and all equipment ancillary thereto (collectively, the “UST”) located on the Property identified as “tank no. 26” in a August 7, 2003 letter report prepared by O’Brien & Xxxx for ThyssenKrupp-Xxxx Company, and remediate all Hazardous Substances and/or Hazardous Materials encountered in connection or associated with closure of the UST to an Act 2 remediation standard as reasonably selected by Owner; and (b) remove, transport and dispose of the existing x-ray building and hot cell, vault and foundations, footings and all ancillary equipment, utilities and/or fixtures related to the foregoing (collectively, the X-Ray Building”) including all radioactive soil, waste and/or materials and all other Hazardous Substances and/or Hazardous Materials in connection or associated with the X-Ray Building to a maximum depth of 3’ feet below the bottom of the x-ray building (as opposed to the bottom of the x-ray building footings) (the undertakings described in clauses (a) and (b) together, the “Remediation and Removal”). In connection with the removal of the X-Ray Building, Owner shall perform a site assessment and adequately delineate contamination, if any, for purposes of obtaining an Act 2 release. Owner shall cause the Remediation and Removal to be performed by environmental engineers and contractors reasonably acceptable to Xxxxx, in a commercially reasonable manner, using remediation techniques and practices acceptable to PADEP and in compliance with Environmental Laws. All Remediation and Removal work in connection with the X-Ray Building shall be completed so as to meet an Act 2 site specific remediation standard, provided that all radioactive contaminated materials shall meet the applicable standard established by USEPA and the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (“NRC”). Owner shall promptly provide Xxxxx with all closure and/or final reports generated through performance of the Remediation and Removal, together with all other documents exchanged with PADEP, USEPA and/or NRC to effectuate an Act 2 release for the Remediation and Removal. Xxxxx acknowledges that deed notices and/or deed restrictions may be required in connection with the Remediation and Removal, and Xxxxx agrees to cooperate reasonably with Owner in creating and recording such notices and/or restrictions, at no out-of-pocket cost to Xxxxx, provided that such deed notices and/or deed restrictions do not unreasonably interfere with Trump’s construction, operation and/or maintenance of a hotel and gaming establishment on the Property. Xxxxx further acknowledges that engineering controls may be required in connection with Owner’s performance of the Remediation and Removal. Prior to instituting such controls, Owner shall obtain Trump’s express written consent to implement the controls, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Such controls are to be implemented by or on behalf of Owner at no out-of-pocket cost to Xxxxx and shall not unreasonably
9
***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED ***
interfere with Trump’s construction, operation or maintenance of a hotel and gaming establishment on the Property. Xxxxx acknowledges that capping with asphalt or other material satisfactory to PADEP, USEPA and NRC would not unreasonably interfere with such construction, operation or maintenance. Xxxxx further acknowledges that in the event Owner obtains an Act 2 release in connection with the Remediation and Removal as contemplated by the NIR and the Cleanup Plan, Xxxxx may not be able to construct, operate and/or maintain a hotel and gaming establishment, or other improvement, on the Property without first performing further environmental investigation and/or cleanup in order to meet requirements of PADEP and/or USEPA.
b. None of the undertaking described in Section 8(a) shall require that Owner investigate or remediate ground water.
c. In the event Xxxxx timely and properly delivers either the Lease Exercise Documents or Purchase Exercise Documents, then Xxxxx shall pay to Owner up to Two Hundred Thousand and 00/100ths ($200,000.00) Dollars by way of reimbursement of Owner’s actual out-of-pocket costs incurred and paid for the Remediation and Removal, which payment shall be made to Owner upon the later of (y) either Trump’s receipt of the fully executed Ground Lease or Closing pursuant to the Purchase Option, as applicable, and (z) Owner’s satisfaction of each of its obligations under this Section 8 and, in each case, Owner’s delivery to Xxxxx of such evidence of the cost of the Remediation and Removal as Xxxxx may reasonably require. Payment by Xxxxx to Owner of any sums pursuant to this Section 8 shall not constitute or be deemed to constitute an undertaking by Xxxxx, or a transfer, of any obligation and/or liability of Owner with respect to the Remediation and Removal or any part thereof, except with respect to any post-remediation care program submitted by Owner in connection with the NIR and/or Remediation and Removal.
d. In the event Owner fails to satisfy any of its obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof, Xxxxx shall have the right, following thirty (30) days’ notice to Owner unless Owner completely cures all such failures within said thirty (30) day period (or such longer period provided that Owner commences to cure such default and diligently pursues the cure of same), to satisfy such Owner’s obligations in whole or in part in which event, provided that there is no bona fide dispute by Owner, Xxxxx shall have the right to offset the reasonable third-party costs incurred by Xxxxx in connection therewith against its payment obligations under the Ground Lease (but in no event more than forty percent (40%) of any installment of rent payable thereunder in any particular month, but Tenant may offset the total costs provided for above over several months) or the sales proceeds otherwise due and payable to Owner hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in the event and to the extent that Xxxxx elects to satisfy Owner’s obligations hereunder, Trump’s right to offset shall extend only to such costs as were, or would have been, necessary in order to meet the specific obligation of Owner as described herein.
