Project Plans or the Project Budget, whether by change order or
otherwise, without the prior written consent of the Lessor, in each
instance (which consent may be withheld in the Lessor's sole and
absolute discretion); provided, however, that such consent shall not
be required for any individual change (necessitated by job conditions)
which has been approved by the Architect, which does not materially
affect the structure or exterior of the Project, and the cost of which
does not exceed TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($25,000) or which

entitled to use said Project Plans without any additional compensation
to the Architect above what is required (and was not previously paid)
under the Architect's Contract.
6.4.5 SUBCONTRACTORS.
Prior to the initial advance of Project Funds contemplated by
this Agreement, the Lessee agrees to provide the Lessor with a list of
the major subcontractors working on the Project, including an
identification by trade and the amount of each subcontract. The Lessor
reserves the right of reasonable approval of all subcontractors
(collectively, the "Major Subcontractors") under any subcontract the
aggregate amount due under which is equal to or greater than ONE
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($100,000). The Lessee further agrees that
the Lessee shall not permit any Major Subcontractors working on the
Project to change without the Lessor's prior written consent, in each
instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

for the purpose of assuring that construction
performed in connection with the Project prior to
the date of such inspection has been completed in
accordance with the Project Plans and this
Agreement;
C. to review the Lessee's then current requisition to
determine whether it is consistent with the
obligations of the Lessee under this Agreement, and
to advise the Lessor of the anticipated costs of,
and the time for, the
-10-
14
completion of the Project in accordance with the
Project Plans, and the adequacy of reserves and
contingencies related thereto;
D. to review and analyze any proposed changes to the
Project Plans and advise the Lessor regarding the
same;
E. to review and analyze the Project Budget and advise
the Lessor as to the sufficiency thereof; and
F. to review and analyze the Architect's Contract,
Construction Contract and all subcontracts entered
into by the Lessee, the Developer or the General
Contractor in connection with the construction of
the Project and advise the Lessor regarding the
same.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Lessee
agrees promptly to make such changes or corrections, or to cause the
Developer to make such changes or corrections, in the construction of
the Project as may be required by the Lessor, based on the
recommendation of any of the Consultants, unless the Lessee
demonstrates to the Lessor's satisfaction that such corrective work is
inconsistent with the Project Plans.
6.4.07 TITLE TO MATERIALS AND SECURITY INTEREST GRANTED TO LESSOR.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Lessee
shall not suffer the use in connection with any construction relating
to the Project of any materials, fixtures or equipment intended to
become part of the Project which are purchased upon lease or
conditional xxxx of sale or to which the Lessee does not have absolute
and unencumbered title. The Lessee covenants to cause to be paid
punctually all sums becoming due for labor, materials, fixtures or
equipment used or purchased in connection with any such construction
and, in recognition of the fact that it is intended that the Project
Funds be used to pay for the cost of the construction of the Project
on behalf of the Lessor, the Lessee agrees that title to all
materials, fixtures and equipment that are incorporated into the
Improvements shall automatically pass to the Lessor upon such
incorporation without the need for the execution or delivery of any
further instrument of conveyance.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order to more fully secure
the Lessor with reference to all advances of Project Funds made
hereunder, the Lessee hereby conveys to the Lessor a security interest
in all of the Lessee's right, title and interest in materials on the
Leased Property which are not at any relevant time incorporated into
the Project
-11-
15
and materials, wherever located, intended for incorporation into the
Project. The Lessee agrees:
A. that the Lessor shall have all the rights, with
reference to such security, as a secured party is
entitled to hold with reference to any security
interest under the UCC;
B. that such security interest shall cover cash and
non-cash proceeds of such materials;
C. that such materials will not be held for sale to
others or disposed of by the Lessee without the
prior written consent of the Lessor and, if at any
time located on the Leased Property shall be
suitably stored, secured and insured and
furthermore, shall not be removed from the Leased
Property; and
D. that such security interest shall be prior to the
rights of any other Person other than the Permitted
Prior Security Interests.
The undertakings of the Lessee in this Section shall also be
applicable to any personal property owned by the Lessee and used (or
to be used) in connection with the Project, whether or not the
purchase thereof was financed by advances of Project Funds made by the
Lessor.
The Lessee agrees to execute such instruments as the Lessor
may from time to time request to perfect the security interest of the
Lessor in any and all rights under this Agreement and the other Lease
Documents, and any and all property of the Lessee which, under
applicable provisions of this Agreement and/or any of the other Lease
Documents, may or shall stand as security for advances of Project
Funds under this Agreement and for the complete payment and
performance of the Lease Obligations.
6.4.08 COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS AND APPLICABLE AGREEMENTS.
The Lessee, the Project Plans and the Leased Property and all
uses thereof (including, without limitation, the construction of the
Project) shall comply with (A) all Legal Requirements, (B) all Permits
and Contracts, (C) all applicable by-laws, codes, rules, regulations
and restrictions of the Board of Fire Underwriters or other insurance

7.5 CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO ALL ADVANCES.
A. Advances hereunder shall be made solely for the payment of
the costs and expenses incurred by the Lessee directly in
connection with the construction of the Project, consistent
with the Project Budget, which are required to be paid out-
of-pocket to all other Persons and no advances of Project
Funds may be used to refund any part of expenditures from the
Lessee's own resources on the Project, except to the extent
that any Project Funds are used to reimburse the Lessee for
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it in accordance with the
terms of the Project Budget. No funds advanced by the Lessor
shall be utilized for any purpose other than as specified
herein and none of the Project Funds shall be paid over to
any officer, partner, stockholder or employee of any member
of the Leasing Group or to any of the Persons collectively
constituting any member of the Leasing Group or those holding
a beneficial interest any member of the Leasing Group, or any
employee thereof, except to the extent that Project Funds are
used to pay compensation to an employee for and with respect
to activity of such employee in construction of the Project.
B. The amount of each requisition shall represent (I) the cost of
the work completed on the Project as of the date of such
requisition which has not been covered by prior requisitions,
(II) the cost of all equipment, fixtures and furnishings
included within the Project Budget, but not incorporated into
any contract approved by the Lessor, which have been delivered
to the Leased Property for incorporation into the Project and
have not been covered by prior requisitions; provided, that,
in the Lessor's judgment, such materials are suitably stored,
secured and insured and that the Lessee can furnish the Lessor
with evidence satisfactory to the Lessor of the Lessee's
unencumbered title thereto and (III) approved soft costs,
which have not been covered by prior requisitions.
C. All requisitions shall be subject to a ten percent (10%)
retainage for the completion of the Project. It is understood
that such retainage is intended to provide a contingency fund
to assure that the construction of the Project shall be fully
completed in accordance with the Project Plans and the terms
and provisions of this Agreement. All amounts so withheld
shall be disbursed after (I) construction of the Project has
been fully completed in accordance with the Project Plans and
the terms and provisions of this Agreement, (II) all of the
items set forth in Section 7.6 hereof have been delivered to
the Lessor and (III) the expiration of the period during
which liens may be perfected with respect to any work
performed or labor or materials supplied in connection with
the construction
-20-
24
of the Project or the receipt of such evidence as may be
required to assure the Lessor that no claim may thereafter
arise with respect to any work performed or labor or
materials supplied in connection with the construction of the
Project.
D. At the time of each advance, no event which constitutes, or
which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, could
constitute, a Lease Default shall have occurred and be
continuing.
E. Without at any time waiving any of the Lessor's rights under
this Agreement, the Lessor shall always have the right to
make an advance hereunder without satisfaction of each and
every condition upon the Lessor's obligation to make an
advance under this Agreement, and the Lessee agrees to accept
any advance which the Lessor may elect to make under this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lessor shall
have the right, notwithstanding a waiver relative to the
first advance or any subsequent advance hereunder, to refuse
to make any and all subsequent advances under this Agreement
until each and every condition set forth in this Section has
been satisfied. The making of any advance hereunder shall not
constitute an approval or acceptance by the Lessor of any
work on the Project theretofore completed.
F. If, while this Agreement is in effect, a claim is made that
the Project does not comply with any Legal Requirement or an
action is instituted before any Governmental Authority with
jurisdiction over the Leased Property or the Lessee in which
a claim is made as to whether the Project does so comply, the
Lessor shall have the right to defer any advance of Project
Funds which the Lessor would otherwise be obligated to make
until such time as any such claim is finally disposed of
favorably to the position of the Lessee, without any
obligation on the part of the Lessor to make a determination
of, or judgment on, the merits of any such claim. For the
purposes of the foregoing sentence, the term "claim" shall
mean an assertion by any Governmental Authority or Person as
to which, in each case, the Lessor has made a good faith
determination that the assertion may properly be made by the
party asserting the same, that the assertion, on its face, is
not without foundation and that the interests of the Lessor
require that the assertion be treated as presenting a bona
fide risk of liability or adverse effect on the Project.
If any such proceeding is not favorably resolved within
thirty (30) days after the commencement thereof, the Lessor
shall also have the right, at its option, to treat the
commencement of such action as a Lease Default, for which the
Lessor shall have all rights herein specified for a Lease
Default. As aforesaid, the Lessor shall have no obligation to
make a determination with reference to the merits of any such
claim. No waiver of the foregoing right shall be implied
from any forbearance by the Lessor in making such election or
any continuation by the Lessor in making advances under this
Agreement.
-21-
25
In all events, the Lessee agrees to notify the Lessor
forthwith upon learning of the assertion of any such claim or
the commencement of any such proceedings.
G. It is contemplated that all advances of the Project Funds
will be made by the Lessor to the Lessee pursuant to this
Agreement.
H. No inspections or any approvals of the Project during or
after construction shall constitute a warranty or
representation by the Lessor or any of the Consultants as to
the technical sufficiency, adequacy or safety of any
structure or any of its component parts, including, without
limitation, any fixtures, equipment or furnishings, or as to
the subsoil conditions or any other physical condition or
feature pertaining to the Leased Property. All acts,
including any failure to act, relating to the Leased Property
by any agent, representative or designee of the Lessor
(including, without limitation, the Consultants) are
performed solely for the benefit of the Lessor to assure the
payment and performance of the Obligations and are not for
the benefit of the Lessee or the benefit of any other Person.
I. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereunder or under
any of the other Lease Documents, the Lessor shall have no
obligation to make any advance hereunder, other than the
first advance on the date hereof, unless and until the Lessee
delivers to the Lessor (I) a fully executed Construction
Contract, (II) true and correct copies of all payment,
performance and completion bonds required pursuant to Section
6.4.13 hereof and (III) a fully executed Construction
Assignment in form and substance satisfactory to the Lessor.
7.6 COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT.
Upon the completion of the construction of the Project in accordance
with the Project Plans and the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the
Lessee shall provide the Lessor with (A) true, correct and complete copies of
(I) a final unconditional Certificate of Occupancy (or its equivalent) issued
by the appropriate governmental authorities, permitting the occupancy and use

8. THE LESSOR'S RIGHT TO MAKE PAYMENTS AND TAKE OTHER ACTION
The Lessor may, after ten (10) Business Days' prior notice to the
Lessee of its intention so to do (except in an emergency when such shorter
notice shall be given as is reasonable under the circumstances), pay any sums
due or claimed to be due for labor or materials furnished in connection with
the ownership, construction, development, maintenance, management, repair, use
or operation of the Leased Property, and any other sums which in the reasonable
opinion of the Lessor, or its attorneys, it is expedient to pay, and may take
such other and further action which in the reasonable opinion of the Lessor is
necessary in order to secure (A) the completion of the Project in accordance
with the Project Plans and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (B) the
protection and priority of the security interests granted to the Lessor
pursuant to the Lease Documents and (C) the performance of all obligations
under the Lease Documents. The Lessor, in its sole and absolute discretion, may
charge any such payments against any advance that may otherwise be due
hereunder to the Lessee or may otherwise collect such amounts from the Lessee,
and the Lessee agrees to repay to the Lessor all such amounts, notwithstanding
that the aggregate indebtedness of the Lessee to the Lessor hereunder may
exceed the aggregate amount the Lessor has agreed to advance hereunder as the
Project Funds. Any amount which is not so charged against advances due
hereunder and all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Lessor in
connection therewith (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and
expenses and court costs) shall be a demand obligation of the Lessee and, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, shall be added to the Lease Obligations
and secured by the Liens created by the Lease Documents, as fully and
effectively and with the same priority as every other obligation of the Lessee
thereunder and, if not paid within ten (10) days after demand, shall
thereafter, to the extent permitted under applicable law, bear interest at the
Overdue Rate until the date of payment.
If the Lessee fails to observe or cause to be observed any of the
provisions of this Section and such failure continues beyond any applicable
notice or cure period provided for under this Agreement, the Lessor or a
lawfully appointed receiver of the Leased Property, at their respective
options, from time to time may perform, or cause to be performed, any and all
repairs and such other work as they deem necessary to bring the Leased Property
into compliance with the provisions of this Agreement may enter upon the Leased
Property for any of the foregoing purposes, and the Lessee hereby waives any
claim against the Lessor or such receiver arising out of such entry or out of
any other act carried out pursuant to this Section. All amounts so expended or
incurred by the Lessor and by such receiver and all costs and expenses
reasonably incurred in connection therewith (including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees and expenses and court costs), shall be a demand obligation of
the Lessee to the Lessor or such receiver, and, to the extent permitted by law,
shall be added to the Obligations and shall be secured by the Liens created by
the Lease Documents as fully and effectively and with the same priority as
every other obligation of the Lessee secured thereunder and, if not paid within
ten (10) days after demand, shall thereafter, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, bear interest at the Overdue Rate until the date of payment.

Leased Property (a "Condemnation"), the Lessee shall give immediate written
notice thereof to the Lessor and comply with the provisions of the Facility
Lease governing Casualties and Condemnations.
10. EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Each of the following shall constitute an "Event of Default" hereunder
and shall entitle the Lessor to exercise its remedies hereunder and under any
of the other Lease Documents:
A. any failure of the Lessee to pay any amount due hereunder or
under any of the other Lease Documents within ten (10) days
following the date when such payment was due;
B. any failure in the observance or performance of any other
covenant, term, condition or warranty provided in this
Agreement or any of the other Lease Documents, other than the
payment of any monetary obligation and other than as
specified in subsections (C) through (F) below (referred to
herein as a "Failure to Perform"), continuing for thirty (30)
days after the giving of notice by the Lessor to the Lessee
specifying the nature of the Failure to Perform; except as to
matters not susceptible to cure within thirty (30) days,
provided that with respect to such matters, (I) the Lessee
commences the cure thereof within thirty (30) days after the
giving of such notice by the Lessor to the Lessee, (II) the
Lessee continuously prosecutes such cure to completion, (III)
such cure is completed within ninety (90) days after the
giving of such notice by the Lessor to the Lessee and (IV)
such Failure to Perform does not impair the Lessor's rights
with respect to the Leased Property or otherwise impair the
Collateral or the Lessor's security interest therein;
C. the occurrence of any default or breach of condition
continuing beyond the expiration of the applicable notice and
grace periods, if any, under any of the other Lease
Documents;
-24-
28

proves to be untrue in any material respect as of the date
when made or at any time during the Term if such
representation or warranty, other than those contained in
Sections 5.2, 5.5 and in the third sentence of Section 5.6,
is a continuing representation or warranty pursuant to
Section 6.3;
E. Without limiting any of the terms of the other Lease
Documents, if any representation, warranty or statement
contained in Section 5.2, 5.5 or in the third sentence of
Section 5.6 proves to be untrue in any material respect at
any time during the Term after the date when made, beyond the
notice and grace periods set forth in Section 10(B).
F. except as a result of any Casualty or a partial or complete
Condemnation, if a suspension of any work in connection with
the construction of the Project occurs for a period in excess
of ten (10) Business Days, irrespective of the cause thereof,
provided that the Lessee shall not be deemed to be in default
under this Subsection if such suspension is for circumstances
not reasonably within its control, but only if the Lessor, in
its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine that such
suspension shall not create any risk that the construction of
the Project will not be completed (in accordance with the
Project Plans and the terms and conditions of this Agreement)
on or before the Completion Date; and
G. if construction of the Project shall not be completed in
accordance with the Project Plans and this Agreement
(including, without limitation, satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 7.6) on or before the
Completion Date.
11. REMEDIES IN EVENT OF DEFAULT
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, at the option of the
Lessor, which may be exercised at any time after an Event of Default shall have
occurred, the Lessor shall have all rights and remedies available to it, at law
or in equity, including, without limitation, all of the rights and remedies
under the Facility Lease and the other Lease Documents. Subject to the
requirements of applicable law, all materials at that time on or near the
Leased Property which are the property of the Lessee and which are to be used
in connection with the completion of the Project shall be subject to the Liens
created by the Lease Documents.
In addition to, and without limitation of, the foregoing, the Lessor
is authorized to charge all money expended for completion of the Project
against sums hereunder which have not already been advanced (even if the
aggregate amount of such sums expended and all amounts previously advanced
hereunder exceed the amount of the Project Funds which the Lessor has agreed to
advance hereunder); and the Lessee agrees to pay to the Lessor Rent under the
Facility Lease (calculated, in part, thereunder based upon all sums advanced
hereunder, including, without limitation, all sums expended in good faith by
the Lessor in connection with the completion of the Project), and, in addition
thereto, the Lessee agrees to pay to the Lessor (as Rent under the
-25-
29
Facility Lease), for services in connection with said completion of the
Project, such additional sums as shall compensate the Lessor for the time and
effort the Lessor and its employees shall have expended in connection
therewith. The Lessor is authorized, but not obligated in any event, to do all
such things in connection with the construction of the Project as the Lessor,
in its sole and absolute discretion, may deem advisable, including, without
limitation, the right to make any payments with respect to any obligation of
the Lessee to the Lessor or to any other Person in connection with the
completion of construction of the Project and to make additions and changes in
the Project Plans to employ contractors, subcontractors and agents and to take
any and all such action, either in the Lessor's own name or in the name of the
Lessee, and the Lessee hereby grants the Lessor an irrevocable power of
attorney to act in its name in connection with the foregoing. This power of
attorney, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable until all of the
Obligations are fully paid and performed and shall not be affected by any
disability or incapacity which the Lessee may suffer and shall survive the
same. The power of attorney conferred on the Lessor by the provisions of this
Section 11 is provided solely to protect the interests of the Lessor and shall
not impose any duty on the Lessor to exercise any such power and neither the
Lessor nor such attorney-in-fact shall be liable for any act, omission, error
in judgment or mistake of law, except as the same may result from its gross
negligence or wilful misconduct. In the event that the Lessor takes possession
of the Leased Property and assumes control of the Project as aforesaid, it
shall not be obligated to continue the construction of the Project for any
period of time longer than the Lessor shall see fit (in its sole and absolute
discretion), and the Lessor may thereafter, at any time, abandon its efforts
and refuse to make further payments for the account of the Lessee, whether or
not the Project has been completed.
In addition, at the Lessor's option and without demand, notice or
protest, the occurrence of any Event of Default shall also constitute a default
under any one or more of the Related Party Agreements.
12. GENERAL
The provisions set forth in Articles 22 and 23 and Sections 2.2, 16.8
through 16.10, 24.2 through 24.6, and 24.8 through 24.12 of the Facility Lease
