Lessee may deliver to Lessor a subsequent Expiration Date Appraisal for

2.05. Funding of Advances.
(a) Participant Funding and Disbursement. Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, each Participant shall, before 12:00 p.m. on
the date of each Advance, make available to Agent at its office specified
in Paragraph 7.01, in same day or immediately available funds, such
Participant's Proportionate Share of such Advance. After Agent's receipt
of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth
in Section III, Agent will promptly disburse such funds on behalf of
Lessor, in same day or immediately available funds, as follows:
(i) Agent shall disburse each Acquisition Advance to
purchase property on the Closing Date or the Tract 4 Acquisition
Date to an escrow or other account established for payment of the
applicable Acquisition Price and any related Permitted Transaction
Expenses pursuant to the applicable Acquisition Agreements or
otherwise as directed by Lessee in the Advance Request for such
Acquisition Advance to pay such amounts.
(ii) Agent shall disburse each Acquisition Advance to pay a
Phase II Termination Payment on the Closing Date to ABN AMRO, as
agent for the Phase IIA Participants or the Phase IIB Participants,
as the case may be, and any related Permitted Transaction Expenses
as directed by Lessee in the Advance Request for such Acquisition
Advance to pay such amounts.
(iii) Agent shall disburse each Improvement/Expense Advance as
directed by Lessee in the Advance Request for such
Improvement/Expense Advance.
(b) Participant Failure to Fund. Unless Agent shall have received
notice from a Participant prior to the date of any Advance that such
Participant will not make available to Agent such Participant's
Proportionate Share of such Advance, Agent may assume that such
Participant has made such portion available to Agent on the date of such
Advance in accordance with Subparagraph 2.05(a), and Agent may, in
reliance upon such assumption, disburse the full amount of such Advance on
such date; provided, however, that neither Agent nor Lessor shall have any
obligation to make an Advance requested hereunder in an amount which
exceeds the aggregate amount of funds actually received by Agent from the
Participants on account of their respective Proportionate Shares of such
Advance. If any Participant does not make the amount of its Proportionate
Share of any Advance available to Agent on or prior to the date such
Advance is made, such Participant shall pay to Agent, on demand, interest
which shall accrue on such amount
9
10
until made available to Agent at rates equal to (i) the daily Federal
Funds Rate during the period from the date of such Advance through the
third Business Day thereafter and (ii) the Base Rate plus two percent
(2.0%) thereafter. A certificate of Agent submitted to any Participant
with respect to any amounts owing under this Subparagraph 2.05(b) shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. If any Participant's Proportionate Share
of any Advance is not in fact made available to Agent by such Participant
within three (3) Business Days after the date of such Advance, Lessee
shall pay to Agent, on demand, an amount equal to such Proportionate Share
together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount was
made available to Lessee until the date such amount is repaid to Agent, at
a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate.
(c) Participants' Obligations Several. The failure of any
Participant to fund its Proportionate Share of any Advance shall not
relieve any other Participant of its obligation hereunder to fund its
Proportionate Share of such Advance, and no Participant shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Participant to fund its
Proportionate Share of any Advance on the date of such Advance.
2.06. Sharing of Payments.
(a) Outstanding Lease Amount. Lessor shall share payments applied
to reduce the Outstanding Lease Amount as follows:
(i) Each payment of the Outstanding Lease Amount derived

Outstanding Participation Amounts at the time of such payment.

to purchase the Property pursuant to the Purchase Agreement;
(B) the Indemnity Amount paid by Lessee pursuant to
the Purchase Agreement; or
10
11
(C) Casualty Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds related
to any of the Property;
Shall be shared first by the Tranche B Participants pro rata
according to their respective Outstanding Tranche B Participation

full, by the Tranche A Participants pro rata according to their
respective Outstanding Tranche A Participation Amounts at the time
of such payment; and third, if any amounts remain after all
Outstanding Tranche B Participation Amounts and all Outstanding
Tranche A Participation Amounts are paid in full, by the Tranche C
Participants pro rata according to their respective Outstanding
Tranche C Participation Amounts at the time of such payment.
(iv) Each payment of the Outstanding Lease Amount derived
from the purchase price paid by any other Person to purchase the
Property (whether after the retention of such Property by Lessor
following the Expiration Date of the Lease Agreement, upon
foreclosure or otherwise) shall be shared first by the Tranche B
Participants pro rata according to their respective Outstanding
Tranche B Participation Amounts at the time of such payment; second,
if any amounts remain after all Outstanding Tranche B Participation
Amounts are paid in full, by the Tranche A Participants pro rata
according to their respective Outstanding Tranche A Participation
Amounts at the time of such payment; and third, if any amounts
remain after all Outstanding Tranche B Participation Amounts and all
Outstanding Tranche A Participation Amounts are paid in full, by the
Tranche C Participants pro rata according to their respective
Outstanding Tranche C Participation Amounts at the time of such
payment.
(b) Base Rent. Lessor shall share each payment applied to Base
Rent among the Participants which funded the Outstanding Lease Amount pro
rata according to (i) the respective Outstanding Participation Amounts so
funded by such Participants and (ii) the dates on which such Participants
so funded such amounts.
(c) Supplemental Rent. Lessor shall share each payment applied to
Supplemental Rent among the Lessor Parties as follows:
(i) Each payment applied to Agent's Fees shall be solely for
the account of Agent.
(ii) Each payment applied to Commitment Fees shall be shared
by the Participants pro rata according to (A) their respective
Proportionate Shares and (B) in the case of each Participant which

shall be shared by the Participants pro rata according to their
respective Proportionate Shares on the date of such payment.

became owing to such Lessor Parties.
(vi) All other payments under this Agreement and the other
Operative Documents shall be for the benefit of the Person or
Persons specified.
(d) Disproportionate Payments, Etc. If any Lessor Party shall
obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise
of any right of setoff, or otherwise) on account of amounts owed to it in
excess of its ratable share of payments on account of such amounts
obtained by all Lessor Parties entitled to such payments, such Lessor
Party shall forthwith purchase from the other Lessor Parties such
participations in the payments to be made under the Operative Documents as
shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lessor Party to share the
excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all
or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such
purchasing Lessor Party, such purchase shall be rescinded and each other
Lessor Party shall repay to the purchasing Lessor Party the purchase price
to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such other
Lessor Party's ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the
amount of such other Lessor Party's required repayment to (ii) the total
amount so recovered from the purchasing Lessor Party) of any interest or
other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lessor Party in respect of
the total amount so recovered. Lessee agrees that any Lessor Party so
purchasing a participation from another Lessor Party pursuant to this
Subparagraph 2.06(d) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise
all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to
such participation as fully as if such Lessor Party were the direct
creditor of Lessee in the amount of such participation.
2.07. Other Payment Terms.

amounts from the date due until those amounts are paid in full at a per
annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus two percent (2.0%), such rate to
change from time to time as the Base Rate shall change.
(d) Application of Payments. All payments under this Agreement and
the other Operative Documents shall be applied first to unpaid fees, costs
and expenses and other Supplemental Rent then due and payable under this
Agreement or any other Operative Document, second to the accrued Base Rent
then due and payable under this Agreement or any other Operative Document
and finally to reduce the Outstanding Lease Amount.
(e) Failure to Pay Agent. Unless Agent shall have received notice
from Lessee at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date on which any
payment is due to Lessor or the Participants under this Agreement or the
other Operative Documents that Lessee will not make such payment in full,
Agent may assume that Lessee has made such payment in full to Agent on
such date and Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be
distributed to the appropriate Persons on such due date an amount equal to
the amount then due such Persons. If and to the extent Lessee shall not
have so made such payment in full to Agent, each such Person shall repay
to Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Person
together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is
distributed to such Person until the date such Person repays such amount
to Agent, at (i) the Federal Funds Rate for the first three (3) days and
(ii) the Base Rate plus two percent (2.0%) thereafter, such rate to change
from time to time as the Base Rate shall change. A certificate of Agent
submitted to any Person with respect to any amounts owing by such Person
under this Subparagraph 2.07(e) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
2.08. Commitment Reductions.
(a) Reduction or Cancellation of Commitments. Lessee may, at any
time prior to the Commitment Termination Date, upon five (5) Business Days
written notice to Lessor, permanently reduce the Total Commitment by the
amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or an integral multiple of One
Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in excess thereof or cancel the Total
Commitment in its entirety.
(b) Effect of Commitment Reductions. From the effective date of
any reduction of the Total Commitment, the Commitment Fees shall be
computed on the basis of the Total Commitment as so reduced. Once reduced
or cancelled, the Total Commitment may not be increased or reinstated
without the prior written consent of Lessor and all Participants. Any
reduction of the Total Commitment pursuant to this Paragraph 2.08 shall be
applied ratably to reduce each Participant's Commitment pro rata in
accordance with its Proportionate Share.
13
14
2.09. Extensions.
(a) Commitment Extension. Lessee may request Lessor to extend the
Commitment Termination Date for an additional period of six (6) months by
appropriately completing, executing and delivering to Agent a written
request in the form of Exhibit G(1) (a "Commitment Extension Request").
Lessee shall deliver the Commitment Extension Request to Agent not more
than three (3) months and not less than two (2) months before the original
Commitment Termination Date. Agent shall promptly deliver to Lessor and
each Participant three (3) copies of each Commitment Extension Request
received by Agent. If Lessor or a Participant, in its sole and absolute
discretion, consents to the Commitment Extension Request, such Person
shall evidence such consent by executing and returning two (2) copies of
the Commitment Extension Request to Agent not later than the last Business
Day which is not less than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the
original Commitment Termination Date. Any failure by Lessor or any
Participant so to execute and return a Commitment Extension Request shall
be deemed a denial thereof. If Lessee shall deliver a Commitment Extension
Request to Lessor pursuant to the first sentence of this Subparagraph
2.09(a), then not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the original
Commitment Termination Date, Agent shall notify Lessee, Lessor and the
Participants in writing whether (i) Agent has received a copy of the
Commitment Extension Request executed by Lessor and each Participant, in
which case the definition of "Commitment Termination Date" set forth in
Subparagraph 2.01(a) shall be deemed extended to the date which is six (6)
months after the original Commitment Termination Date (subject to receipt
by Agent of the Commitment Extension Fee), or (ii) Agent has not received
a copy of the Commitment Extension Request executed by Lessor and each
Participant, in which case such Commitment Extension Request shall be
deemed denied. Lessee acknowledges that neither Lessor nor any Participant
has promised (either expressly or implicitly), or has any obligation or
commitment, to extend or consent to the extension of the Commitment
Termination Date at any time.
(b) Lease Extension. Lessee may request Lessor to extend the
original Scheduled Expiration Date of the Lease Agreement for an
additional period of two (2) years by appropriately completing, executing
and delivering to Agent a written request in the form of Exhibit G(2),
together with an attachment thereto setting forth the terms upon which
Lessee would propose for the requested extension (a "Lease Extension
Request"). Lessee shall deliver the Lease Extension Request to Agent not
more than three (3) months and not less than two (2) months before the
first anniversary of the Closing Date. Agent shall promptly deliver to
Lessor and each Participant three (3) copies of the Lease Extension
Request received by Agent. If Lessor or a Participant, in its sole and
absolute discretion, consents to a Lease Extension Request, such Person
shall evidence such consent by executing and returning two (2) copies of
such Lease Extension Request to Agent not later than the last Business Day
which is not less than one (1) month prior to the first anniversary of the
Closing Date. Any failure by Lessor or any Participant so to execute and
return a Lease Extension Request shall be deemed a denial thereof. If
Lessee shall deliver a Lease Extension Request to Lessor pursuant to the
first sentence of this Subparagraph 2.09(b), then not later than the last
Business Day which is not less than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to
the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Agent shall
14
15
notify Lessee, Lessor and the Participants in writing whether (i) Agent
has received a copy of the Lease Extension Request executed by Lessor and
each Participant, in which case the definition of "Scheduled Expiration
Date" set forth in Subparagraph 2.02(a) of the Lease Agreement shall be
deemed extended to the date which is two (2) years after the original
Scheduled Expiration Date (subject to the receipt by Agent of any amounts
payable by Lessee in connection with such extension), or (ii) Agent has
not received a copy of the Lease Extension Request executed by Lessor and
each Participant, in which case such Lease Extension Request shall be
deemed denied. Lessee acknowledges that neither Lessor nor any Participant
has promised (either expressly or implicitly), or has any obligation or
commitment, to extend or consent to the extension of the Scheduled
Expiration Date at any time.
2.10. Nature of the Transactions. Lessee and the Lessor Parties intend
that the transactions evidenced by this Agreement and the other Operative
Documents constitute operating leases pursuant to FASB 13 for accounting
purposes and loans secured by the Property for all other purposes, including
federal, state and local income tax purposes and commercial, real estate and
bankruptcy law purposes. To the extent that this Agreement and the other
Operative Documents reflect the lease form alone, they do so for convenience
only. Lessee and the Lessor Parties intend that the Operative Documents have the
dual form referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph, notwithstanding
the use of the lease form alone.
(a) Tax Treatment. For purposes of all income, franchise and other
taxes imposed upon or measured by income, Lessee and Lessor Parties intend
that the transactions evidenced by the Operative Documents shall be
treated as loans by the Participants (through Lessor) to Lessee secured by
the Property, with Lessee as owner of the Property. Lessee and the Lessor
Parties may only take deductions, credits, allowances and other reporting
positions on their respective returns, reports and statements which are
consistent with such treatment, unless required to do otherwise by an
appropriate taxing authority after the completion of judicial proceedings
at which Lessee has had a full and complete opportunity to present its
position or after a clearly applicable change in applicable Governmental
Rules; provided, however, that if an appropriate taxing authority or a
clearly applicable change in applicable Governmental Rules requires any
Lessor Party to take such an inconsistent position, such Lessor Party
shall promptly notify Lessee.
(b) Other Legal Treatment. For purposes of commercial law, real
property law, bankruptcy law and other applicable laws, Lessee and Lessor
Parties also intend that the transactions evidenced by the Operative
Documents shall be treated as loans by the Participants (through Lessor)
to Lessee secured by the Property, with Lessee as owner of the Property.
Consistent with such treatment, Lessee and the Lessor Parties intend that,
among other things for such purposes, (i) the Advances be treated as loans
to Lessee by the Participants (through Lessor); (ii) the Advances be
secured by the Property and the Lessor Parties have the rights and
remedies of secured lenders; (iii) Base Rent be treated as interest on the
Advances; (iv) Lessee be required to pay on the Expiration Date only the
Residual Value Guaranty Amount, the Indemnity Amount and the other amounts
required by clause (ii) of Subparagraph 4.06(a) of the Purchase Agreement
(or clause (iii) of Subparagraph 4.06(a) if Lessor is retaining the
Property) if Lessee exercises the
15
16
Marketing Option in accordance with the Purchase Agreement; and (v) Lessee
be required to pay on the Expiration Date the Outstanding Lease Amount and
all other amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the other Operative
Documents (including amounts required by clause (i) of Subparagraph
4.06(a) of the Purchase Agreement) if the Lease Agreement is terminated
prior to its Scheduled Expiration Date after an Event of Default occurs
under the Lease Agreement or if Lessee fails to or is otherwise not
entitled to exercise the Marketing Option in accordance with the Purchase
Agreement.
(c) No Reliance by Lessee. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that no
Lessor Party has made any representations or warranties to Lessee
concerning the tax, accounting or legal characteristics of the Operative
Documents and that Lessee has obtained and relied upon such tax,
accounting and legal advice concerning the Operative Documents as it deems
appropriate.
2.11. Security.
(a) Lessee Obligations.
(i) To the extent that the transaction evidenced by the
Lease Agreement, Purchase Agreement and other Operative Documents is
treated as a loan by the Participants (through Lessor) to Lessee
secured by the Property, with Lessee as owner of the Property
pursuant to Paragraph 2.10, the Lessee Obligations shall be secured
by the Real Property Collateral and the Personal Property Collateral
(collectively, the "Property Collateral") as provided in
Subparagraphs 2.07(a) and 2.07(b) of the Lease Agreement and in an
Assignment of Construction Agreements in the form of Exhibit H, duly
executed by Lessee (the "Assignment of Construction Agreements"),
and the other Lessee Security Documents.
(ii) In addition to the Property Collateral, the Lessee
Obligations shall be secured, as provided in the Purchase Agreement,
by a Cash Collateral Agreement in a form acceptable to Lessor and
Agent, duly executed by Lessee (the "Cash Collateral Agreement"),
and Cash Collateral delivered to Agent or Participants pursuant to
the Cash Collateral Agreement if Lessee elects to exercise the
Marketing Option after Lessor notifies Lessee that Lessor is
terminating the Lease Agreement on a Termination Date that is prior
to the Scheduled Expiration Date and the only basis for such early
termination is the occurrence of a Non-Marketing Option Event of
Default.
(iii) Lessee shall deliver to Lessor and Agent such additional
mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreements, pledge agreements,
lessor consents and estoppels (containing appropriate mortgagee and
lender protection language) and other instruments, agreements,
certificates, opinions and documents (including Uniform Commercial
Code financing statements and fixture filings and landlord waivers)
as Lessor or Agent may reasonably request to (A) grant, perfect,
maintain, protect and evidence security interests in favor of
16
17
Lessor or Agent in the Property Collateral and Cash Collateral prior
to the Liens or other interests of any Person, except in the case of
the Property Collateral for Permitted Property Liens; and (B)
otherwise establish, maintain, protect and evidence the rights
provided to Lessor and Agent in the Property Collateral and Cash
Collateral. Lessee shall fully cooperate with Lessor and Agent and
perform all additional acts reasonably requested by Lessor or Agent
to effect the purposes of this Subparagraph 2.11(a).
(b) Lessor Obligations.
(i) The Lessor Obligations shall be secured by the
following:
(A) An Assignment of Lease Agreement and Purchase
Agreement in the form of Exhibit I, duly executed by Lessor
(the "Assignment of Lease");
(B) A Construction Deed of Trust with Assignment of
Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing in the form of
Exhibit J, duly executed by Lessor (the "Lessor Deed of
Trust"); and
(C) A Security Agreement in the form of Exhibit K,
duly executed by Lessor (the "Lessor Security Agreement").
(ii) Lessor shall deliver to Agent such additional mortgages,
deeds of trust, security agreements, pledge agreements, lessor
consents and estoppels (containing appropriate mortgagee and lender
protection language) and other instruments, agreements,
certificates, opinions and documents (including Uniform Commercial
Code financing statements and fixture filings and landlord waivers)
as Agent may reasonably request to (A) grant, perfect, maintain,
protect and evidence security interests in favor of Agent in
Lessor's rights in the Property Collateral and Cash Collateral; and
(B) otherwise establish, maintain, protect and evidence the rights
provided to Agent in the Property Collateral and Cash Collateral.
Lessor shall fully cooperate with Agent and perform all additional
acts reasonably requested by Agent to effect the purposes of this
Subparagraph 2.11(b).
(iii) Lessee hereby consents to the Assignment of Lease, the
Lessor Deed of Trust and the Lessor Security Agreement; the Liens
granted to Agent therein; and all other Liens granted to Agent in
any of the Operative Documents and the Property to secure the Lessor
Obligations.
2.12. Change of Circumstances.
(a) Inability to Determine Rates. If, on or before the first day
of any Rental Period for any Portion, (i) any Participant shall advise
Agent that the LIBOR Rental Rate for such Rental Period and Portion cannot
be adequately and reasonably determined due to the unavailability of funds
in or other circumstances affecting the London interbank market or (ii)
Majority Participants shall advise Agent that the LIBOR Rental Rate for
17
18
such Rental Period and Portion does not adequately and fairly reflect the
cost to such Participants of funding their shares of such Portion, Agent
shall immediately give notice of such condition to Lessee, Lessor and the
other Participants. After the giving of any such notice (and until Agent
shall otherwise notify Lessee and Lessor that the circumstances giving
rise to such condition no longer exist), the LIBOR Rental Rate shall be
unavailable and the Rental Rate for each new Rental Period shall be the
Alternate Rental Rate.
(b) Illegality. If, after the date of this Agreement, the adoption
of any Governmental Rule, any change in any Governmental Rule or the
application or requirements thereof (whether such change occurs in
accordance with the terms of such Governmental Rule as enacted, as a
result of amendment or otherwise), any change in the interpretation or
administration of any Governmental Rule by any Governmental Authority, or
compliance by Lessor or any Participant with any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority,
except for any such adoption or change publicly announced prior to the
date of this Agreement (a "Change of Law") shall make it unlawful or
impossible for any Participant to fund or maintain its portion of the
Outstanding Lease Amount at the LIBOR Rental Rate, such Participant shall
immediately notify Agent and Agent shall immediately notify Lessee, Lessor
and the other Participants of such Change of Law. After the giving of any
such notice (and until Agent shall otherwise notify Lessee and Lessor that
such Change of Law is no longer in effect), the LIBOR Rental Rate shall be
unavailable and the Rental Rate for each Rental Period shall be the
Alternate Rental Rate.
(c) Increased Costs. If, after the date of this Agreement, any
Change of Law:
(i) Shall subject Lessor or any Participant to any tax, duty
or other charge with respect to the Outstanding Lease Amount, or
shall change the basis of taxation of Base Rent payments by Lessee
to Lessor or any Participant under this Agreement or any other
Operative Document (except for changes in the rate of taxation on
the overall net income of Lessor or any Participant imposed by its
jurisdiction of incorporation, the jurisdiction in which its
principal executive office is located or, in the case of any
Participant, the jurisdiction in which its Applicable Participating
Office is located); or
(ii) Shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve
(excluding any Reserve Requirement or other reserve to the extent
included in the calculation of the LIBOR Rental Rate), special
deposit or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or
other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or
any other acquisition of funds by Lessor or any Participant for its
portion of the Outstanding Lease Amount; or
(iii) Shall impose on Lessor or any Participant any other
condition related to the Outstanding Lease Amount, Base Rent or
Lessor's or such Participant's commitments hereunder;
18
19
And the effect of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lessor
or such Participant of funding or maintaining its portion of the
Outstanding Lease Amount or commitments or to reduce any amount receivable
by Lessor or such Participant hereunder; then Lessee shall from time to
time within fifteen (15) Business Days after demand by Lessor or such
Participant, pay to Lessor or such Participant additional amounts
sufficient to reimburse Lessor or such Participant for such increased
costs or to compensate Lessor or such Participant for such reduced
amounts; provided, however, that Lessee shall have no obligation to make
any payment to any demanding party under this Subparagraph 2.12(c) on
account of any such increased costs or reduced amounts relating to any
Rental Period that ended more than six (6) months prior to such demanding
party's first demand for payment (or, if any increased costs or reduced
amounts do not relate to a particular Rental Period,. on account of any
such increased costs or reduced amounts about which the demanding party
first knew or should have known more than six (6) months prior to its
first demand for payment). A certificate setting forth in reasonable
detail the amount of such increased costs or reduced amounts, submitted by
Lessor or such Participant to Lessee shall, in the absence of manifest
error, be conclusive and binding on Lessee for all purposes. The
obligations of Lessee under this Subparagraph 2.12(c) shall survive the
payment and performance of the Lessee Obligations and the termination of
this Agreement.
(d) Capital Requirements. If, after the date of this Agreement,
Lessor or any Participant determines that (i) any Change of Law affects
the amount of capital required to be maintained by such Person or any
other Person controlling such Person (a "Capital Adequacy Requirement")
and (ii) the amount of capital maintained by such Person or such other
Person which is attributable to or based upon the Advances, the
commitments or this Agreement must be increased as a result of such
Capital Adequacy Requirement (taking into account such Person's or such
other Person's policies with respect to capital adequacy), Lessee shall
pay to such Person or such other Person, within fifteen (15) Business Days
after demand of such Person, such amounts as such Person or such other
Person reasonably shall determine are necessary to compensate such Person
or such other Person for the increased costs to such Person or such other
Person of such increased capital; provided, however, that Lessee shall
have no obligation to make any payment to any demanding party under this
Subparagraph 2.12(d) on account of any such increased costs relating to
any Rental Period that ended more than six (6) months prior to such
demanding party's first demand for payment (or, if any increased costs or
reduced amounts do not relate to a particular Rental Period,. on account
of any such increased costs or reduced amounts about which the demanding
party first knew or should have known more than six (6) months prior to
its first demand for payment). A certificate of Lessor or any Participant
setting forth in reasonable detail the computation of any such increased
costs, delivered by such Person to Lessee shall, in the absence of
manifest error, be conclusive and binding on Lessee for all purposes. The
obligations of Lessee under this Subparagraph 2.12(d) shall survive the
payment and performance of the Lessee Obligations and the termination of
this Agreement.
(e) Mitigation. If Lessor or any Participant becomes aware of (i)
any Change of Law which will make it unlawful or impossible for such
Person to fund or maintain its portion of the Outstanding Lease Amount at
the LIBOR Rental Rate or (ii) any Change of
19
20
Law or other event or condition which will obligate Lessee to pay any
amount pursuant to Subparagraph 2.12(c) or Subparagraph 2.12(d), such
Person shall notify Lessee and Agent thereof as promptly as practical. If
any Person has given notice of any such Change of Law or other event or
condition and thereafter becomes aware that such Change of Law or other
event or condition has ceased to exist, such Person shall notify Lessee
and Agent thereof as promptly as practical. Each Person affected by any
Change of Law which makes it unlawful or impossible for such Person to
fund or maintain its portion of the Outstanding Lease Amount at the LIBOR
Rental Rate or to which Lessee is obligated to pay any amount pursuant to
Subparagraph 2.12(c) or Subparagraph 2.12(d) shall use reasonable
commercial efforts (including changing the jurisdiction of its Applicable
Participating Office) to avoid the effect of such Change of Law or to
avoid or materially reduce any amounts which Lessee is obligated to pay
pursuant to Subparagraph 2.12(c) or Subparagraph 2.12(d) if, in the
reasonable opinion of such Person, such efforts would not be
disadvantageous to such Person or contrary to such Person's normal banking
practices.
2.13. Taxes on Payments.
(a) Payments Free of Taxes. All payments made by Lessee under this
Agreement and the other Operative Documents shall be made free and clear
of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present
or future Indemnified Taxes, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected,
withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority. If any Indemnified
Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Lessor
Party hereunder or under the other Operative Documents, the amounts so
payable to such Lessor Party shall be increased to the extent necessary to
yield to such Lessor Party (after payment of all Indemnified Taxes) the
Base Rent or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in
the amounts specified in this Agreement and the other Operative Documents.
Whenever any Indemnified Taxes are payable by Lessee, as promptly as
possible thereafter, Lessee shall send to Agent for its own account or for
the account of Lessor or such Participant, as the case may be, a certified
copy of an original official receipt received by Lessee showing payment
thereof. If Lessee fails to pay any Indemnified Taxes when due to the
appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to Agent the required
receipts or other required documentary evidence, Lessee shall indemnify
the Lessor Parties for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that
may become payable by the Lessor Parties as a result of any such failure.
The obligations of Lessee under this Subparagraph 2.13(a) shall survive
the payment and performance of the Lessee Obligations and the termination
of this Agreement.
(b) Withholding Exemption Certificates. On or prior to the Closing
Date or, if such date does not occur within thirty (30) days after the
date of this Agreement, by the end of such 30- day period, Lessor, if it
is not organized under the laws of the United States of America or a state
thereof, and each Participant which is not incorporated under the laws of
the United States of America or a state thereof, shall deliver to Lessee
and Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue
Service Form 1001 or 4224 (or successor applicable form), as the case may
be, certifying in each case that Lessor or such Participant, as the case
may be, is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and the other
Operative Documents without deduction or withholding of any
20
21
United States federal income taxes. Each Person which delivers to Lessee
and Agent a Form 1001 or 4224 pursuant to the immediately preceding
sentence further undertakes to deliver to Lessee and Agent two further
copies of Form 1001 or 4224 (or successor applicable forms), or other
manner of certification or procedure, as the case may be, on or before the
date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the
occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form
previously delivered by it to Lessee and Agent, and such extensions or
renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by Lessee or Agent,
certifying in the case of a Form 1001 or 4224 that such Person is entitled
to receive payments under this Agreement and the other Operative Documents
without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income
taxes, unless in any such cases an event (including without limitation any
change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on
which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such
forms inapplicable or which would prevent Lessor or a Participant from
duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and Lessor
or such Participant advises Lessee and Agent that it is not capable of
receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States
federal income tax.
(c) Mitigation. If any Lessor Party claims any additional amounts
to be payable to it pursuant to this Paragraph 2.13, such Lessor Party
shall use reasonable commercial efforts to file any certificate or
document requested in writing by Lessee (including copies of Internal
Revenue Service Form 1001 (or successor forms) reflecting a reduced rate
of withholding) or to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable
Participating Office if the making of such a filing or such change in the
jurisdiction of its Applicable Participating Office would avoid the need
for or materially reduce the amount of any such additional amounts which
may thereafter accrue and if, in the reasonable opinion of a Participant,
in the case of a change in the jurisdiction of its Applicable
Participating Office, such change would not be disadvantageous to such
Person or contrary to such Person's normal banking practices.
(d) Tax Returns. Nothing contained in this Paragraph 2.13 shall
require any Lessor Party to make available any of its tax returns (or any
other information relating to its taxes which it deems to be
confidential).
(e) Tax Savings. In the event an Indemnitee receives a refund (or
similar tax savings) in respect of any Indemnified Tax paid or reimbursed
by Lessee, such Indemnitee shall, within thirty (30) days thereafter,
remit the amount of such refund (or tax savings) to Lessee, provided that
the amount so remitted shall not exceed the lesser of: (i) the amount
received by such Indemnitee as a refund (or tax savings) net of all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Indemnitee in connection
with obtaining and paying such amount; and (ii) the remainder of (A) the
amount of all prior payments by Lessee to such Indemnitee with respect to
Indemnified Taxes, plus any refunded interest, less (B) the amount of all
prior payments by such Indemnitee to Lessee under this Subparagraph
2.13(e); provided that (1) any disallowance or other loss of such refund
(or tax savings) shall be treated as an "Indemnified Tax" without regard
to all exclusions and (2) no such remittance shall be made if any Default
or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
21
22
2.14. Funding Loss Indemnification. If Lessee shall (a) pay all or any
Portion of the Outstanding Lease Amount on any day other than the last day of a
Rental Period therefor (whether an optional payment, a mandatory payment or
otherwise) or (b) cancel or otherwise fail to consummate any Advance Request
which has been delivered to Agent (whether as a result of the failure to satisfy
any applicable conditions or otherwise), Lessee shall, upon demand by Lessor or
any Participant, reimburse such Person for and hold such Person harmless from
all costs and losses incurred by such Person as a result of such payment,
cancellation or failure. Lessee understands that such costs and losses may
include, without limitation, losses incurred by Lessor or a Participant as a
result of funding and other contracts entered into by such Person to fund its
portion of the Outstanding Lease Amount. Each Person demanding payment under
this Paragraph 2.14 shall deliver to Lessee, with a copy to Agent, a certificate
setting forth the amount of costs and losses for which demand is made, which
certificate shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount
demanded. Such a certificate so delivered to Lessee shall constitute prima facie
evidence of such costs and losses. The obligations of Lessee under this
Paragraph 2.14 shall survive the payment and performance of the Lessee
Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
2.15. Replacement of Participants. If any Participant shall (a) become a
Defaulting Participant more than two (2) times in a period of twelve (12)
consecutive months, (b) continue as a Defaulting Participant for more than five
(5) Business Days at any time, (c) deliver, pursuant to Subparagraph 2.12(a), a
notice that any LIBOR Rental Rate cannot be adequately and reasonably determined
or that any LIBOR Rental Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to
such Participant of funding its shares of any Portion and such a notice is not
delivered by all Participants, (d) deliver, pursuant to Subparagraph 2.12(b), a
notice of a Change of Law which does not affect all Participants, or (e) demand
any payment under Subparagraph 2.12(c), 2.12(d) or 2.13(a) for a reason which is
not applicable to all Participants, then Agent may (or upon the written request
of Lessee if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, shall) replace
such Participant (the "affected Participant"), or cause such affected
Participant to be replaced, with another financial institution (the "replacement
Participant") satisfying the requirements of an Eligible Assignee under
Subparagraph 7.05(b), by having the affected Participant sell and assign all of
its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Operative
Documents to the replacement Participant pursuant to Subparagraph 7.05(b);
provided, however, that if Lessee seeks to exercise such right, it must do so
within sixty (60) days after it first receives notice of the event, condition or
demand giving rise to such right, and no Lessor Party shall have any obligation
to identify or locate a replacement Participant for Lessee. Upon receipt by any
affected Participant of a written notice from Agent stating that Agent is
exercising the replacement right set forth in this Paragraph 2.15, such affected
Participant shall sell and assign all of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the other Operative Documents to the replacement Participant
pursuant to an Assignment Agreement and Subparagraph 7.05(b) for a purchase
price equal to the sum of its portion of the Outstanding Lease Amount, the
accrued and unpaid portion of the Base Rent relating to such portion, all
amounts payable under Paragraph 2.14, and its ratable share of all fees to which
it is entitled.

SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
4.01. Lessee's Representations and Warranties. In order to induce the
Lessor Parties to enter into this Agreement and the other Operative Documents to
which they are parties, Lessee hereby represents and warranties to the Lessor
Parties as follows:
(a) Due Incorporation, Qualification, etc. Each of Lessee and
Lessee's Subsidiaries (i) is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of
incorporation; (ii) has the power and authority to own, lease and operate
its properties and carry on its business as now conducted; and (iii) is
duly qualified, licensed to do business and in good standing as a foreign
corporation in each jurisdiction where the failure to be so qualified or
licensed is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(b) Authority. The execution, delivery and performance by Lessee
of each Operative Document executed, or to be executed, by Lessee and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby (i) are within the
power of Lessee and (ii) have been duly authorized by all necessary
actions on the part of Lessee.
(c) Enforceability. Each Operative Document executed, or to be
executed, by Lessee has been, or will be, duly executed and delivered by
Lessee and constitutes, or will constitute, a legal, valid and binding
obligation of Lessee, enforceable against Lessee in accordance with its
terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of
general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors'
rights generally and general principles of equity.
(d) Non-Contravention. The execution and delivery by Lessee of the
Operative Documents executed by Lessee and the performance and
consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby do not (i) violate
any Requirement of Law applicable to Lessee; (ii) violate any provision
of, or result in the breach or the acceleration of, or entitle any other
Person to accelerate (whether after the giving of notice or lapse of time
or both), any Contractual Obligation of Lessee, where such violation,
breach or acceleration is reasonable likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect; or (iii) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (or the
obligation to create or impose any Lien) upon any property, asset or
revenue of Lessee (except such Liens as may be created in favor of Lessor
or Agent pursuant to this Agreement or the other Operative Documents).
(e) Approvals. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or
registration, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Authority or
other Person (including, without limitation, the shareholders of any
Person) is required in connection with the execution and delivery of the
Operative Documents executed by Lessee and the performance and
consummation by Lessee of the transactions contemplated thereby,
24
25
except (i) those that have been made or obtained and are in full force and
effect and (ii) those which, if not made or obtained, are not reasonably
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(f) No Violation or Default. Neither Lessee nor any of its
Subsidiaries is in violation of or in default with respect to (i) any
Requirement of Law applicable to such Person; (ii) any Contractual
Obligation of such Person (nor is there any waiver in effect which, if not
in effect, would result in such a violation or default), where, in each
case, such violation or default is reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither
Lessee nor any of its Subsidiaries (A) has violated any Environmental
Laws, (B) has any liability under any Environmental Laws or (C) has
received notice or other communication of an investigation or is under
investigation by any Governmental Authority having authority to enforce
Environmental Laws, where such violation, liability or investigation is
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default has
occurred and is continuing.
(g) Litigation. No actions (including, without limitation,
derivative actions), suits, proceedings or investigations are pending or,
to the knowledge of Lessee, threatened against Lessee or any of its
Subsidiaries at law or in equity in any court or before any other
Governmental Authority which (i) is reasonably likely (alone or in the
aggregate) to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) seeks to enjoin,
either directly or indirectly, the execution, delivery or performance by
Lessee of the Operative Documents or the transactions contemplated
thereby.
(h) Title; Possession Under Leases. Lessee and its Material
Subsidiaries own and have good and marketable title, or a valid leasehold
interest in, all their respective properties and assets as reflected in
the most recent Financial Statements delivered to Agent (except those
assets and properties disposed of in the ordinary course of business or
otherwise in compliance with this Agreement since the date of such
Financial Statements) and all respective assets and properties acquired by
Lessee and its Material Subsidiaries since such date (except those
disposed of in the ordinary course of business or otherwise in compliance
with this Agreement), except in any case where the failure so to own or to
have such title is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect. Such assets and properties are subject to no Lien, except for
Permitted Liens. Each of Lessee and its Material Subsidiaries has complied
with all material obligations under all material leases to which it is a
party, all such leases are in full force and each of Lessee and its
Material Subsidiaries enjoys peaceful and undisturbed possession under
such leases, except in any case where the failure so to comply, the
failure of such leases to be in full force and effect or the failure to be
in such possession is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
(i) Financial Statements. The consolidated Financial Statements of
Lessee which have been delivered to Agent, (i) are in accordance with the
books and records of Lessee and its Subsidiaries, which have been
maintained in accordance with good business practice; (ii) have been
prepared in conformity with GAAP; and (iii) fairly present the financial
conditions and results of operations of Lessee and its Subsidiaries as of
the date thereof and for the period covered thereby. Lessee does not have
any
25
26
Contingent Obligations, liability for taxes or other outstanding
obligations which are material in the aggregate, except as disclosed in
the audited Financial Statements dated June 30, 1997 furnished by Lessee
to Agent prior to the date hereof, or in the Financial Statements
delivered to Agent pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of Subparagraph 5.01(a)
to the extent the same are required under GAAP to be disclosed therein.
(j) Equity Securities. All outstanding Equity Securities of Lessee
are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. All
Equity Securities of Lessee have been offered and sold in compliance with
all federal and state securities laws (excluding any foreign securities
and tax laws related to stock options and ownership to the extent that
non-compliance therewith is not reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect).
(k) No Agreements to Sell Assets; Etc. As of the Closing Date,
neither Lessee nor any of its Subsidiaries has any legal obligation,
absolute or contingent, to any Person to sell the assets of Lessee or any
of its Subsidiaries (other than sales in the ordinary course of business),
or to effect any merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Lessee
or any of its Subsidiaries or to enter into any agreement with respect
thereto, except for sales or mergers permitted by Subparagraph 5.02(b) or
Subparagraph 5.02(c).
(l) Employee Benefit Plans.
(i) Based on the latest valuation of each Employee Benefit
Plan that either Lessee or any ERISA Affiliate maintains or
contributes to, or has any obligation under (which occurred within
twelve months of the date of this representation), the aggregate
benefit liabilities of such plan within the meaning of ss. 4001 of
ERISA did not exceed the aggregate value of the assets of such plan.
Neither Lessee nor any ERISA Affiliate has any liability with
respect to any post-retirement benefit under any Employee Benefit
Plan which is a welfare plan (as defined in section 3(1) of ERISA),
other than liability for health plan continuation coverage described
in Part 6 of Title I(B) of ERISA, which liability for health plan
contribution coverage is not reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect.
(ii) Each Employee Benefit Plan complies, in both form and
operation, in all material respects, with its terms, ERISA and the
IRC, and no condition exists or event has occurred with respect to
any such plan which would result in the incurrence by either Lessee
or any ERISA Affiliate of any material liability, fine or penalty.
Each Employee Benefit Plan, related trust agreement, arrangement and
commitment of Lessee or any ERISA Affiliate is legally valid and
binding and in full force and effect. No Employee Benefit Plan is
being audited or investigated by any government agency or is subject
to any pending or threatened claim or suit. Neither Lessee nor any
ERISA Affiliate nor any fiduciary of any Employee Benefit Plan has
engaged in a prohibited transaction under section 406 of ERISA or
section 4975 of the IRC.
26
27
(iii) Neither Lessee nor any ERISA Affiliate contributes to or
has any material contingent obligations to any Multiemployer Plan.
Neither Lessee nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any material
liability (including secondary liability) to any Multiemployer Plan
as a result of a complete or partial withdrawal from such
Multiemployer Plan under Section 4201 of ERISA or as a result of a
sale of assets described in Section 4204 of ERISA. Neither Lessee
nor any ERISA Affiliate has been notified that any Multiemployer
Plan is in reorganization or insolvent under and within the meaning
of Section 4241 or Section 4245 of ERISA or that any Multiemployer
Plan intends to terminate or has been terminated under Section 4041A
of ERISA.
(m) Other Regulations. Lessee is not subject to regulation under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Public Utility Holding Company Act
of 1935, the Federal Power Act, the Interstate Commerce Act, any state
public utilities code or to any other Governmental Rule limiting its
ability to incur indebtedness.
(n) Patent and Other Rights. Except as set forth in Lessee's 10-Q
report and 10-K report delivered to Agent as items C(3) and C(4) of
Schedule 3.01, Lessee and its Subsidiaries own, license or otherwise have
the right to use under validly existing agreements (or can obtain under
agreements not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect), all
patents, licenses, trademarks, trade names, trade secrets, service marks,
copyrights and all rights with respect thereto, which are required to
conduct their businesses as now conducted, to the extent the failure to
own, license or otherwise have the right to use such rights is not
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(o) Governmental Charges. Lessee and its Subsidiaries have filed
or caused to be filed all tax returns which are required to be filed by
them, except for any returns the non-filing of which are not reasonably
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Lessee and its Subsidiaries have
paid, or made provision for the payment of, all taxes and other
Governmental Charges which have or may have become due pursuant to said
returns or otherwise and all other indebtedness, except such Governmental
Charges or indebtedness, if any, which are being (or promptly will be)
contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves (determined in
accordance with GAAP) have been provided or which are not reasonably
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect if unpaid.
(p) Margin Stock. Lessee owns no Margin Stock which, in the
aggregate, would constitute a substantial part of the assets of Lessee,
and no proceeds of any Advance will be used to purchase or carry, directly
or indirectly, any Margin Stock or to extend credit, directly or
indirectly, to any Person for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any
Margin Stock.
(q) Subsidiaries, etc. Set forth in Schedule 4.01(q) (as
supplemented by Lessee from time to time in a written notice to Agent) is
a complete list of all of Lessee's Subsidiaries, the jurisdiction of
incorporation of each and the percentage of voting shares owned directly
or indirectly by Lessee.
27
28
(r) Catastrophic Events. Neither Lessee nor any of its
Subsidiaries and none of their properties is or has been affected by any
fire, explosion, accident, strike, lockout or other labor dispute,
drought, storm, hail, earthquake, embargo, act of God or other casualty
that is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no
disputes presently subject to grievance procedure, arbitration or
litigation under any of the collective bargaining agreements, employment
contracts or employee welfare or incentive plans to which Lessee or any of
its Subsidiaries is a party, and there are no strikes, lockouts, work
stoppages or slowdowns, or, to the best knowledge of Lessee,
jurisdictional disputes or organizing activities occurring or threatened
which alone or in the aggregate are reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect.
(s) The Property. The representations and warranties relating to
each Tract set forth in Parts 1 - 5 of Schedule 4.01(s) are true and
correct. The following representations and warranties apply to all Tracts
of the Property on the Acquisition Date thereof:

reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no
claims or actions which are reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect pending or, to Lessee's knowledge, threatened against
any of the Property by any Governmental Authority or any other
Person relating to Hazardous Materials or pursuant to any
Environmental Laws.
(ii) None of the Improvements (whether before commencement of
any construction, during any construction or after completion of
construction of any New Improvements) encroach or will at any time
encroach in any manner onto any adjoining land, except as permitted
by express written and recorded encroachment agreements approved by
Agent or as affirmatively insured against by appropriate title
insurance.

permits, easements and rights-of-way required for the use of any of
the Property have been obtained or, if not yet required, will be

reserves as required by GAAP are maintained, and (ii) where the failure to
so pay or discharge is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
(f) Use of Proceeds. Lessee shall not use any part of the proceeds
of any Advance, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or
carrying any Margin Stock or for the purpose of purchasing or carrying or
trading in any securities under such circumstances as to involve Lessee or
any Lessor Party in a violation of Regulations G, T, U or X issued by the
Federal Reserve Board.
(g) General Business Operations. Each of Lessee and its Material
Subsidiaries shall, except as otherwise permitted by Subparagraph 5.02(c),
preserve and maintain its corporate existence and all of its rights,
privileges and franchises reasonably necessary to the conduct of its
business, where the failure so to preserve and maintain is reasonably
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of Lessee and its
Subsidiaries shall (i) conduct its business activities in compliance with
all Requirements of Law and Contractual Obligations applicable to such
Person, the violation of which is reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect and (ii) keep all property useful and necessary in its
business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear
excepted, where the failure so to keep is reasonably likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Lessee shall maintain its chief executive office
in the United States and shall not relocate its chief executive office
outside of California without prior written notice to Agent.

(g) Accounting Changes. Lessee shall not change (i) its fiscal
year (currently July 1 through June 30) or (ii) its accounting practices
except as permitted by GAAP.
5.03. Lessee's Financial Covenants. Until the termination of this
Agreement and the satisfaction in full by Lessee of all Lessee Obligations
(other than inchoate indemnity obligations), Lessee will comply, and will cause

Obligations) and shall promptly discharge, at its sole cost and expense,
any Lessor Lien on the Property (other than any Liens granted to Agent or

Obligations); provided, however, that Lessor shall not be required so to
discharge any such Lessor Lien if (i) the same is being (or promptly will

Property, and (ii) any such contest is completed and all Lessor Liens are
discharged on or prior to the Expiration Date.

Section 4975(e)(1) of the IRC.
SECTION 6. LESSOR, AGENT AND THEIR RELATIONS WITH PARTICIPANTS.
6.01. Appointment of Agent. Each Participant hereby appoints and
authorizes Agent to act as its agent hereunder and under the other Operative
Documents with such powers as are expressly delegated to Agent by the terms of
this Agreement and the other Operative Documents, together with such other
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Lessor is not an agent for the
Participants or Agent, and neither this Agreement nor any other Operative
Document shall be construed to constitute or evidence a partnership among the
Lessor Parties or otherwise to impose upon Lessor or Agent any fiduciary duty.
6.02. Powers and Immunities. Neither Lessor nor Agent shall have any
duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or
in any other Operative Document, be a trustee for any Participant or have any
fiduciary duty to any Participant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, neither Lessor nor Agent shall be required to take any action
which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Operative Document or any
applicable Governmental Rule. Neither Lessor nor Agent nor any Participant shall
be responsible to any Participant for any recitals, statements, representations
or warranties made by Lessee or any of its Subsidiaries contained in this
Agreement or in any other Operative Document, for the value, validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or
any other Operative Document or for any failure by Lessee or any of its
Subsidiaries to perform their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder.
Lessor and Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be
responsible to any Participant for the negligence or misconduct of any such
agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. Neither Lessor
nor Agent nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or
advisors shall be responsible to any Participant for any action taken or omitted
to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Operative Document or in
connection herewith or therewith, except for its or their own gross negligence
or willful misconduct. Except as otherwise provided under this Agreement, Lessor
and Agent shall take such action with respect to the Operative Documents as
shall be directed by the Required Participants.
6.03. Reliance. Lessor or Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any
certificate, notice or other document (including any cable, telegram, facsimile
or telex) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have
been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon
advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other
experts selected by Lessor or Agent with reasonable care. As to any other
matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, neither Lessor nor Agent
shall be required to take any action or exercise any discretion, but shall be
required to act or to refrain from acting upon instructions of the Required
Participants and shall in all cases be fully protected by the Participants in
acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or under any other Operative
Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Participants, and
such instructions of the Required Participants and any action taken or failure
to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Participants.
42
43
6.04. Defaults. Neither Lessor nor Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge
or notice of the occurrence of any Default unless Lessor or Agent has received a
written notice from a Participant or Lessee, referring to this Agreement,
describing such Default and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default".
If Lessor and Agent receive such a notice of the occurrence of a Default, Agent
shall give prompt notice thereof to the Participants. Lessor and Agent shall
take such action with respect to such Default as shall be reasonably directed by
the Required Participants; provided, however, that until Lessor and Agent shall
have received such directions, Lessor or Agent may (but shall not be obligated
to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such
Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Participants.
6.05. Indemnification. Without limiting the Obligations of Lessee
hereunder, each Participant agrees to indemnify Lessor and Agent (to the extent
not previously reimbursed by Lessee), ratably in accordance with such
Participant's Proportionate Share, for any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed
on, incurred by or asserted against Lessor or Agent in any way relating to or
arising out of this Agreement or any documents contemplated by or referred to
herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the
enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof; provided, however, that no
Participant shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise
from Lessor's or Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct, provided,
further however, that to the extent indemnification payments made by the
Participants pursuant to this Paragraph 6.05 are subsequently recovered from or
for the account of Lessee, such previously paid indemnification payments shall
be promptly refunded to the Participants by Lessor and Agent. Lessor or Agent
shall be fully justified in refusing to take or in continuing to take any action
hereunder unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the
Participants against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by
it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The obligations of
each Participant under this Paragraph 6.05 shall survive the payment and
performance of the Lessee Obligations, the termination of this Agreement and any
Participant ceasing to be a party to this Agreement (with respect to events
which occurred prior to the time such Participant ceased to be a Participant
hereunder).
6.06. Non-Reliance. Each Participant represents that it has, independently
and without reliance on Lessor, Agent, or any other Participant, and based on
such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
appraisal of the business, prospects, management, financial condition and
affairs of Lessee and the Subsidiaries and its own decision to enter into this
Agreement and agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon
Lessor, Agent or any other Participant, and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or
any other Operative Document. Neither Lessor nor Agent nor any of their
respective affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers,
employees, agents or advisors shall (a) be required to keep any Participant
informed as to the performance or observance by Lessee or any of its
Subsidiaries of the obligations under this Agreement or any other document
referred to or provided for herein or to make inquiry of, or to inspect the
properties or books of Lessee or any of its Subsidiaries; (b) have any duty or
responsibility to provide any Participant with any credit or other information
concerning Lessee or any of its Subsidiaries which may come into the possession
of Lessor or Agent, except for notices, reports
43
44
and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the
Participants by Lessor or Agent hereunder; or (c) be responsible to any
Participant for (i) any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by
Lessee or any officer, employee or agent of Lessee in this Agreement or in any
of the other Operative Documents, (ii) the value, validity, effectiveness,
genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Operative
Document, (iii) the value or sufficiency of the Property or the validity or
perfection of any of the liens or security interests intended to be created by
the Operative Documents, or (iv) any failure by Lessee to perform its
obligations under this Agreement or any other Operative Document.
6.07. Resignation or Removal of Agent. Agent may resign at any time by
giving thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof to Lessee and the
Participants, and Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by the
Required Participants. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required
Participants shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent, which Agent, if
not a Participant, shall be reasonably acceptable to Lessee; provided, however,
that Lessee shall have no right to approve a successor Agent if a Default has
occurred and is continuing. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent
hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to
and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from the duties and
obligations thereafter arising hereunder. After any retiring Agent's resignation
or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section VI and any other
provision of this Agreement or any other Operative Document which by its terms
survives the termination of this Agreement shall continue in effect for its
benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it
was acting as Agent.
6.08. Authorization. Agent is hereby authorized by the Participants to
execute, deliver and perform, each of the Operative Documents to which Agent is
or is intended to be a party and each Participant agrees to be bound by all of
the agreements of Agent contained in the Operative Documents.
6.09. Lessor and Agent in their Individual Capacities. Lessor, Agent and
their respective affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and
generally engage in any kind of banking or other business with Lessee and its
Subsidiaries and affiliates as though Lessor were not Lessor hereunder and Agent
were not Agent hereunder. With respect to Advances, if any, made by Agent in its
capacity as a Participant, Agent in its capacity as a Participant shall have the
same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Operative Documents as
any other Participant and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent, and
the terms "Participant" or "Participants" shall include Agent in its capacity as
a Participant.
SECTION 7. MISCELLANEOUS
7.01. Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, all notices, requests,
demands, consents, instructions or other communications to or upon Lessor,

Notice of Term Purchase Option Exercise, Notice of Marketing Option Exercise and
Notice of Expiration Date Purchase Option Exercise shall be given by Lessee to
Agent's office located at its address referred to above during its normal
business hours; provided, however, that any such notice received by Agent after
10:00 a.m. on any Business Day shall be deemed received by Agent on the next
Business Day. In any case where this Agreement authorizes notices, requests,
demands or other communications by Lessee to any Lessor Party to be made by
telephone or facsimile, any Lessor Party may conclusively presume that anyone
purporting to be a person designated in any incumbency certificate or other
similar document received by such Lessor Party is such a person.
7.02. Expenses. Lessee shall pay on demand, whether or not any Advance is
made hereunder, (a) all reasonable fees and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred by Lessor and Agent in connection with
the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of, the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by and the exercise of their duties under, this
Agreement and the other Operative Documents, and the preparation, negotiation,
execution and delivery of amendments and waivers hereunder and thereunder and
(b) all reasonable fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses, incurred by the Lessor Parties in the enforcement or attempted
enforcement of any of the Lessee Obligations or in preserving any of the Lessor
Parties' rights and remedies (including all such fees and expenses incurred in
connection with any "workout" or restructuring affecting the Operative Documents
or the Lessee Obligations or any bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving
Lessee or any of its Subsidiaries). As used herein, the term "reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses" shall include, without limitation, allocable costs
and expenses of Agent's and Participants' in-house legal counsel and staff. The
obligations of Lessee under this Paragraph 7.02 shall survive the payment and
performance of the Lessee Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
7.03. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Lessee
agrees to protect, indemnify, defend and hold harmless, on an after-tax basis,
the Lessor Parties and the other Indemnitees from and against any and all
liabilities, losses, damages or expenses of any kind or nature (including
Indemnified Taxes but not other taxes) and from any suits, claims or demands
(including in respect of or for reasonable attorney's fees and other expenses)
arising on account of or in connection with any matter or thing or action or
failure to act by Indemnitees, or any of them, arising out of or relating to the
Operative Documents, any transaction contemplated thereby or the Property,
including any use by Lessee of the Property or the Advances, except to the
extent such liability arises from (a) the willful misconduct or gross negligence
of such Indemnitee, (b) any act or occurrence which first occurs after the Lease
Agreement has
46
47
terminated and Lessee is no longer in possession of the Property, (c) the breach
by any Lessor Party of its obligations under the Operative Documents or (d)
except as otherwise specifically provided in the Operative Documents, the
performance by any Lessor Party of its obligations thereunder. Upon receiving
knowledge of any suit, claim or demand asserted by a third party that any Lessor
Party believes is covered by this indemnity, such Lessor Party shall give Lessee
notice of the matter and an opportunity to defend it, at Lessee's sole cost and
expense, with legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Lessor Party. Such
Lessor Parties may also require Lessee to defend the matter. Any failure or
delay of any Lessor Party to notify Lessee of any such suit, claim or demand
shall not relieve Lessee of its obligations under this Paragraph 7.03. The
obligations of Lessee under this Paragraph 7.03 shall survive the payment and
performance of the Lessee Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
7.04. Waivers; Amendments. Any term, covenant, agreement or condition of
this Agreement or any other Operative Document may be amended or waived if such
amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by Lessor, Lessee and the
Required Participants; provided, however that:
(a) Any amendment, waiver or consent which (i) increases the Total
Commitment, (ii) extends the Commitment Termination Date or the Scheduled
Expiration Date, (iii) reduces the Rental Rate or any fees or other
amounts payable for the account of the Participants hereunder, (iv)
postpones any date scheduled for any payment of Base Rent or any fees or
other amounts payable for the account of the Participants hereunder or
thereunder, (v) amends Paragraph 2.06 or this Paragraph 7.04, (vi) amends
the definition of Required Participants or (vii) releases Lessor's or
Agent's interest in any substantial part of the Property, must be in
writing and signed or approved in writing by all Participants;
(b) Any amendment, waiver or consent which increases or decreases
the Proportionate Share or Commitment of any Participant must be in
writing and signed by such Participant; and
(c) Any amendment, waiver or consent which affects the rights or
obligations of Agent must be in writing and signed by Agent.
No failure or delay by any Lessor Party in exercising any right hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right preclude any other further exercise thereof
or of any other right. Unless otherwise specified in such waiver or consent, a
waiver or consent given hereunder shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
7.05. Successors and Assigns.
(a) Binding Effect. This Agreement and the other Operative
Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Lessee,
Lessor, the Participants, Agent and their respective permitted successors
and assigns. All references in this Agreement to any Person shall be
deemed to include all successors and assigns of such Person.
(b) Participant Assignments.
47
48
(i) Any Participant may, at any time, sell and assign to any
other Participant or any Eligible Assignee (individually, an
"Assignee Participant") all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Operative Documents
(such a sale and assignment to be referred to herein as an
"Assignment") pursuant to an assignment agreement in the form of
Exhibit L (an "Assignment Agreement"), executed by each Assignee
Participant and such assignor Participant (an "Assignor
Participant") and delivered to Agent for its acceptance and
recording in the Register; provided, however, that:
(A) Without the written consent of Lessor, Agent and,
if no Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessee (which
consent of Lessor, Agent and Lessee shall not be unreasonably
withheld), no Participant may make any Assignment to any
Assignee Participant which is not, immediately prior to such
Assignment, a Participant hereunder or an Affiliate thereof;
or
(B) Without the written consent of Lessor, Agent and,
if no Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessee (which
consent of Lessor, Agent and Lessee shall not be unreasonably
withheld), no Participant may make any Assignment to any
Assignee Participant if, after giving effect to such
Assignment, the Commitment of such Participant or such
Assignee Participant would be less than Five Million Dollars
($5,000,000) (except that a Participant may make an Assignment
which reduces its Commitment to zero without the written
consent of Lessor, Agent or Lessee); or
(C) Without the written consent of Lessor, Agent and,
if no Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessee (which
consent of Lessor, Agent and Lessee shall not be unreasonably
withheld), no Participant may make any Assignment of its
Outstanding Tranche A Participation Amount or its Outstanding
Tranche B Participation Amount which does not assign and
delegate an equal pro rata interest in (1) such Participant's
Outstanding Tranche A Participation Amount and its Outstanding
Tranche B Participation Amount, (2) such Participant's Tranche
A Percentage and its Tranche B Percentage, and (3) such
Participant's other rights, duties and obligations relating to
the Tranche A Portion and the Tranche B Portion under this
Agreement and the other Operative Documents.
(D) Without the written consent of Lessor, Agent and,
if no Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessee (which
consent of Lessor, Agent and Lessee shall not be unreasonably
withheld), no Tranche C Participant may make any Assignment of
its Outstanding Tranche C Participation Amount which does not
assign and delegate an equal pro rata interest in (1) such
Participant's Outstanding Tranche C Participation Amount, (2)
such Participant's Tranche C Percentage, and (3) such
Participant's other rights, duties and obligations relating to
the Tranche C Portion under this Agreement and the other
Operative Documents.
48
49
Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording of each
Assignment Agreement, from and after the Assignment Effective Date
determined pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, (y) each Assignee
Participant thereunder shall be a Participant hereunder with a
Tranche A Percentage, Tranche B Percentage, Tranche C Percentage and
Proportionate Share as set forth on Attachment 1 to such Assignment
Agreement (under the caption "Tranche Percentages and Proportionate
Shares After Assignment") and shall have the rights, duties and
obligations of such a Participant under this Agreement and the other
Operative Documents, and (z) the Assignor Participant thereunder
shall be a Participant with a Tranche A Percentage, Tranche B
Percentage, Tranche C Percentage and Proportionate Share as set
forth on Attachment 1 to such Assignment Agreement (under the
caption "Tranche Percentages and Proportionate Shares After
Assignment") , or, if the Proportionate Share of the Assignor
Participant has been reduced to 0%, the Assignor Participant shall
cease to be a Participant and to have any obligation to fund any
portion of any Advance; provided, however, that any such Assignor
Participant which ceases to be a Participant shall continue to be
entitled to the benefits of any provision of this Agreement which by
its terms survives the termination of this Agreement. Each
Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to amend Schedule I to the
extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of
each Assignee Participant, the deletion of each Assignor Participant
which reduces its Proportionate Share to 0% and the resulting
adjustment of Tranche A Percentages, Tranche B Percentages, Tranche
C Percentages and Proportionate Shares arising from the purchase by
each Assignee Participant of all or a portion of the rights and
obligations of an Assignor Participant under this Agreement and the
other Operative Documents. Each Assignee Participant which was not
previously a Participant hereunder and which is not incorporated
under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof
shall, within three (3) Business Days of becoming a Participant,
deliver to Lessee and Agent two duly completed copies of United
States Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or 4224 (or successor
applicable form), as the case may be, certifying in each case that
such Participant is entitled to receive payments under this
Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States
federal income taxes.
(ii) Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in
Paragraph 7.01 a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it
and a register (the "Register") for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Participants and the Tranche A Percentage, Tranche
B Percentage, Tranche C Percentage and Proportionate Share of each
Participant from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error, and Lessee, Agent and
the Participants may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Register as the owner of the interests recorded therein for all
purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for
inspection by Lessee or any Participant at any reasonable time and
from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(iii) Upon its receipt of an Assignment Agreement executed by
an Assignor Participant and an Assignee Participant (and, to the
extent required by
49
50
clause (i) of this Subparagraph 7.05(b), by Lessor, Agent and
Lessee), together with payment to Agent by Assignor Participant of a
registration and processing fee of $2,500, Agent shall (A) promptly
accept such Assignment Agreement and (B) on the Assignment Effective
Date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained
therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and
recordation to Lessor, the Participants and Lessee. Agent may, from
time to time at its election, prepare and deliver to Lessor, the
Participants and Lessee a revised Schedule I reflecting the names,
addresses and respective Proportionate Shares of all Participants
then parties hereto.
(iv) Subject to Subparagraph 7.13(g), the Lessor Parties may
disclose the Operative Documents and any financial or other
information relating to Lessee or any Subsidiary to each other or to
any potential Assignee Participant.
(c) Participant Subparticipations. Any Participant may at any time
sell to one or more banks or other financial institutions
("Subparticipants") subparticipation interests in the rights and interests
of such Participant under this Agreement and the other Operative
Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Participant of
subparticipation interests, such Participant's obligations under this
Agreement and the other Operative Documents shall remain unchanged, such
Participant shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof
and Lessee and the other Lessor Parties shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Participant in connection with such Participant's
rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to
which any such sale is effected may require the selling Participant to
obtain the consent of the Subparticipant in order for such Participant to
agree in writing to any amendment, waiver or consent of a type specified
in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of Subparagraph 7.04(a) but may not
otherwise require the selling Participant to obtain the consent of such
Subparticipant to any other amendment, waiver or consent hereunder. Lessee
agrees that any Participant which has transferred any subparticipation
interest shall, notwithstanding any such transfer, be entitled to the full
benefits accorded such Participant under Paragraph 2.12, Paragraph 2.13,
and Paragraph 2.14, as if such Participant had not made such transfer.
(d) Lessor Assignments. Lessor may, upon one (1) month's prior
written notice to Lessee and Agent, sell and assign all of its right,
title and interest in the Property and its rights, powers, privileges,
duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Operative
Documents, provided that:
(i) If such sale and assignment is effected after either (A)
the occurrence of a Change of Law which makes it unlawful or
unreasonably burdensome for Lessor to hold legal or beneficial title
to the Property or to perform its obligations and duties under this
Agreement and the other Operative Documents or (B) the resignation
or removal of the Agent which was the Agent at the time Lessor
became the Lessor, the purchaser/assignee (the "successor Lessor")
shall be either (1) a Participant or an Eligible Assignee that is a
multi-asset Person having substantial assets beyond its interest in
the Property and the Operative Documents or (2) a Person approved as
provided in clause (ii) below; or
50
51
(ii) If such sale and assignment is effected in any other
circumstance, the successor Lessor shall be approved in writing by
Agent, Required Participants and, if no Default has occurred and is
continuing, Lessee (which consents of Agent, Required Participants
and Lessee shall not be unreasonably withheld); and
(iii) The successor Lessor executes such documents,
instruments and agreements as may reasonably be necessary to
evidence its agreement to assume all of the obligations and duties
of the Lessor under this Agreement and the other Operative
Documents.
Upon the consummation of any such sale and assignment, (A) the successor
Lessor shall become the "Lessor" and shall succeed to and become vested
with all the rights, powers, privileges, duties and obligations of the
Lessor under this Agreement and the other Operative Documents and (B) the
retiring Lessor shall be discharged from the duties and obligations of the
Lessor thereafter arising under this Agreement and the other Operative
Documents. After any retiring Lessor's discharge as the Lessor, the
provisions of Section VI and any other provision of this Agreement or any
other Operative Document which by its terms survives the termination of
this Agreement shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the
Lessor.
7.06. Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Participants
provided by law, each Participant shall have the right, with the prior written
consent of Agent, but without prior notice to or consent of Lessee, any such
notice and consent being expressly waived by Lessee to the extent permitted by
applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, to set-off and apply against the Lessee Obligations, whether matured or
unmatured, any amount owing from such Participant to Lessee, at or at any time
after, the occurrence of such Event of Default. The aforesaid right of set-off
may be exercised by such Participant against Lessee or against any trustee in
bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors,
receiver or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of Lessee or against
anyone else claiming through or against Lessee or such trustee in bankruptcy,
debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, or
execution, judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact that such
right of set-off shall not have been exercised by such Participant prior to the
occurrence of an Event of Default. Each Participant agrees promptly to notify
Lessee after any such set-off and application made by such Participant, provided
that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such
set-off and application.
7.07. No Third Party Rights. Nothing expressed in or to be implied from
this Agreement is intended to give, or shall be construed to give, any Person,
other than the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns
hereunder, any benefit or legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by
virtue of this Agreement or under or by virtue of any provision herein.
7.08. Partial Invalidity. If at any time any provision of this Agreement
or any other Operative Document is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable
in any respect under the law or any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity
or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or the other
Operative Documents nor the legality, validity or enforceability of
51
52
such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction shall in any way be
affected or impaired thereby.
7.09. JURY TRIAL. EACH OF LESSEE AND THE LESSOR PARTIES, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL
BY JURY AS TO ANY ISSUE RELATING TO THE OPERATIVE DOCUMENTS IN ANY ACTION,
PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OPERATIVE
DOCUMENT.
7.10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
identical counterparts, any set of which signed by all the parties hereto shall
be deemed to constitute a complete, executed original for all purposes.
7.11. No Joint Venture, Etc. Neither this Agreement nor any other
Operative Document nor any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby shall be
construed to (a) constitute a partnership or joint venture between Lessee and
any Lessor Party or (b) impose upon any Lessor Party any agency relationship
with or fiduciary duty to Lessee.
7.12. Usury Savings Clause. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any
other Operative Documents shall be deemed to require the payment of interest or
other charges by Lessee in excess of the amount the applicable Lessor Parties
may lawfully charge under applicable usury laws. In the event any Lessor Party
shall collect monies which are deemed to constitute interest which would
increase the effective interest rate to a rate in excess of that permitted to be
charged by applicable law, all such sums deemed to constitute excess interest
shall, upon such determination, at the option of Lessor, be returned to Lessee
or credited against other Lessee Obligations.
7.13. Confidentiality. No Lessor Party shall disclose to any Person any
information with respect to Lessee or any of its Subsidiaries which is furnished
pursuant to this Agreement or under the other Operative Documents, except that
any Lessor Party may disclose any such information (a) to its own directors,
officers, employees, auditors, counsel and other advisors and to its Affiliates;
(b) to any other Lessor Party; (c) which is otherwise available to the public;
(d) if required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted
to any Governmental Authority having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such
Lessor Party; (e) if required or appropriate in response to any summons or
subpoena or in connection with any litigation; (f) to comply with any
Requirement of Law applicable to such Lessor Party; (g) to any Assignee
Participant or Subparticipant or any prospective Assignee Participant or
Subparticipant, provided that such Assignee Participant or Subparticipant or
prospective Assignee Participant or Subparticipant agrees to be bound by this
Paragraph 7.13; or (h) otherwise with the prior consent of Lessee; provided,
however, that any disclosure made in violation of this Agreement shall not
affect the obligations of Lessee and its Subsidiaries under this Agreement and
the other Operative Documents.

Operative Documents in such respects as are necessary to conform those covenants
as criteria for evaluating Lessee's financial condition to substantially the
same criteria as were effective prior to such change in GAAP; provided, however,
that, until Lessee and the Lessor Parities so amend the Operative Documents, all
such covenants shall be calculated in accordance with GAAP as in effect

(iii) The rental rate for each Rental Period for a Portion
("Rental Rate") shall be the LIBOR Rental Rate for such Rental
Period and Portion, except as follows:

Portion, on the last day of each Rental Period therefor and, in the
case of any Rental Period which exceeds three (3) months, each day
occurring every three (3) months after the first day of such Rental

or any other Person to whom such amount is payable.

leasing the Property "as is, with all faults" without any representation,
warranty, indemnity or undertaking by any Lessor Party regarding any aspect of
the Property, including (a) the condition of the Property (including any
Improvements to the Property made prior to the Commencement Date or during the

compliance of the Property with any applicable Governmental Rule or Insurance
Requirement; provided, however, that Lessor shall be obligated to remove Lessor
Liens to the extent required in Subparagraph 5.04(b) of the Participation
Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lessee specifically
waives any covenant of quiet enjoyment except as otherwise provided in
Subparagraph 5.04(b) of the Participation Agreement.
2.06. Nature of Transaction. As more fully provided in Paragraph 2.10 of
the Participation Agreement, Lessee and the Lessor Parties intend that the
transaction evidenced by this Agreement and the other Operative Documents
constitute an operating lease in accordance with FASB 13 for accounting purposes
and a loan secured by the Property for all other purposes, including federal,
state and local income tax purposes and commercial, real estate and bankruptcy
law purposes.
2.07. Security, Etc. In order to secure the Lessee Obligations and
otherwise to assure the Lessor Parties the benefits hereof in the event that the
transaction evidenced by this Agreement and the other Operative Documents is,
pursuant to the intent of Lessee and the Lessor Parties, treated as a loan for
certain purposes, Lessee hereby makes the following grants and agrees as
follows:
B-5
130
(a) Real Property Security. As security for the Lessee
Obligations, Lessee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally grants,
conveys, transfers and assigns to Lessor, in trust for the benefit of the
Lessor Parties, with power of sale and right of entry and possession, all
estate, right, title and interest of Lessee in the following property,
whether now owned or leased or hereafter acquired, (collectively, the
"Real Property Collateral"):
(i) The Land;
(ii) All Improvements located on the Land;
(iii) All Appurtenant Rights belonging, relating or pertaining
to any of the foregoing Land or Improvements;
(iv) All Subleases of and all Issues and Profits accruing
from any of the foregoing Land, Improvements or Appurtenant Rights
to the extent that such Subleases and Issues and Profits constitute
real property;
(v) All Related Goods, Related Permits and Related
Agreements related to any of the foregoing Land, Improvements or
Appurtenant Rights to the extent that such Related Goods, Related
Agreements and Related Permits constitute real property;
(vi) All other Property to the extent that such property
constitutes real property; and
(vii) All proceeds of the foregoing, including Casualty and
Condemnation Proceeds.
(b) Personal Property Security. As security for the Lessee
Obligations, Lessee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally assigns and
grants to Lessor, for the benefit of the Lessor Parties, a security
interest in all estate, right, title and interest of Lessee in the
following property, whether now owned or leased or hereafter acquired,
(collectively, the "Personal Property Collateral"):
(i) All Subleases of and all Issues and Profits accruing
from any of the Land, Improvements or Appurtenant Rights to the
extent that such Subleases and Issues and Profits constitute

(ii) All Related Goods, Related Permits and Related
Agreements related to any of the Land, Improvements or Appurtenant
Rights to the extent that such Related Goods, Related Agreements and
Related Permits constitute personal property;
(iii) All Cash Collateral and all other deposit accounts,

in connection with this Agreement or any other Operative Document
(including any Repair and Restoration Account);
B-6
131
(iv) All other Property to the extent such Property
constitutes personal property; and
(v) All proceeds of the foregoing, including Casualty and
Condemnation Proceeds.
This Agreement constitutes a fixture filing for purposes of the California
Commercial Code with respect to the Related Goods which are or are to
become fixtures on the Land or Improvements.
(c) Absolute Assignment of Subleases, Issues, and Profits. Lessee
hereby irrevocably assigns to Lessor, for the benefit of the Lessor
Parties, all of Lessee's estate, right, title and interest in, to and
under the Subleases and the Issues and Profits, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired. This is a present and absolute assignment, not an
assignment for security purposes only, and Lessor's right to the Subleases
and Issues and Profits is not contingent upon, and may be exercised
without possession of, the Property.
(i) If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Lessee shall have a revocable license to collect and retain the
Issues and Profits as they become due. Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, such license shall
automatically terminate, and Lessor may collect and apply the Issues
and Profits pursuant to Subparagraph 5.02(d) without further notice
to Lessee or any other party and without taking possession of the
Property. All Issues and Profits thereafter collected by Lessee
shall be held by lessee as trustee in a constructive trust for the
benefit of Lessor. Lessee hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs
the sublessees under the Subleases, without any need on their part
to inquire as to whether an Event of Default has actually occurred
or is then existing, to rely upon and comply with any notice or
demand by Lessor for the payment to Lessor of any rental or other
sums which may become due under the Subleases or for the performance
of any of the sublessees' undertakings under the Subleases.
Collection of any Issues and Profits by Lessor shall not cure or
waive any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any
acts done pursuant to such notice.
(ii) The foregoing irrevocable assignment shall not cause any
Lessor Party to be (A) a mortgagee in possession; (B) responsible or
liable for (1) the control, care, management or repair of the
Property or for performing any of Lessee's obligations or duties
under the Subleases, (2) any waste committed on the Property by the
sublessees under any of the Subleases or by any other Persons, (3)
any dangerous or defective condition of the Property, or (4) any
negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the
Property resulting in loss or injury or death to any sublessee,
licensee, employee, invitee or other Person; or (C) responsible for
or impose upon any Lessor Party any duty to produce rents or
profits. No Lessor Party, in the absence of gross negligence or
willful disregard on its part, shall be liable to Lessee as a
consequence of (y) the exercise or failure to exercise any of the
rights, remedies or powers granted to Lessor hereunder or
B-7
132
(z) the failure or refusal of Lessor to perform or discharge any
obligation, duty or liability of Lessee arising under the Subleases.
SECTION 3. OTHER LESSEE AND LESSOR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS.
3.01. Maintenance, Repair, Etc.
(a) General. Lessee shall not permit any waste of the Property,

aggregate cost of $5,000,000, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor, with
sufficient copies for Agent and each Participant, a brief written
description of such Modifications; and

3.02. Risk of Loss. Lessee assumes all risks of loss arising from any
Casualty or Condemnation which arises or occurs prior to the Expiration Date or
while Lessee is in possession of the Property and all liability for all personal
injuries and deaths and damages to property suffered by any Person or property
on or in connection with the Property which arises or occurs prior to the
Expiration Date or while Lessee is in possession of the Property, except in each
case to the extent any such loss or liability is primarily caused by the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of a Lessor Party. Lessee hereby waives the
provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1932(1), 1932(2) and 1933(4), and
any and all other applicable existing or future Governmental Rules permitting
the termination of this Agreement as a result of any Casualty or Condemnation,
and Lessor shall in no event be answerable or accountable for any risk of loss
of or decrease in the enjoyment and beneficial use of the Property as a result
of any such event.
3.03. Insurance.
(a) Coverage. Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall carry
and maintain the following insurance coverage:
(i) At all times during the Term, commercial liability
insurance covering claims for injuries or death sustained by persons
or damage to property while on the Property, and workers'
compensation insurance;

covering loss or damage by fire, flood and other risks in an amount
not less than the then current replacement cost of the Improvements
on the Property;
(iii) During the construction of any Improvements, builders'
risk insurance covering fire, flood and other normal insured risks;
and
(iv) At all times during the Term as appropriate, such other
insurance of the types customarily carried by a reasonably prudent
Person owning or operating properties similar to the Property in the
same geographic area as the Property;
Provided, however, that this Subparagraph 3.03(a) (A) shall not be
construed to require Lessee to carry
B-9
134
or maintain earthquake insurance and (B) shall not require Lessee to carry
or maintain flood insurance in an amount in excess of the amount required
by any Governmental Rule applicable to Lessee or any Lessor Party. Except
as otherwise specifically required above, such insurance shall be in
amounts, in a form and with deductibles customarily carried by a
reasonably prudent Person owning or operating properties similar to the
Property in the same geographic area as the Property.
B-10
135
(b) Carriers. Any insurance carried and maintained by Lessee
pursuant to this Paragraph 3.03 shall be underwritten by an insurance
company which (i) has, at the time such insurance is placed and at the
time of each renewal thereof, a general policyholder rating of "A" and a
financial rating of at least 9 from A.M. Best and Company or any successor
thereto (or if there is none, an organization having a similar national
reputation) or (ii) is otherwise approved by Lessor and Required
Participants; provided, however, that Lessee may, if no Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, self-insure.
(c) Terms. Each insurance policy maintained by Lessee pursuant to
this Paragraph 3.03 shall provide as follows, whether through endorsements
or otherwise:
(i) Lessor and Agent shall be named as additional insureds,
in the case of each policy of liability and property insurance, and
additional loss payees, in the case of each policy of property
insurance.
(ii) In respect of the interests of Lessor in the policy, the
insurance shall not be invalidated by any action or by inaction of
Lessee or by any Person having temporary possession of the Property
while under contract with Lessee to perform maintenance, repair,
alteration or similar work on the Property, and shall insure the
interests of Lessor regardless of any breach or violation of any
warranty, declaration or condition contained in the insurance policy
by Lessee, Lessor or any other additional insured (other than by
such additional insured, as to such additional insured); provided,
however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to (A) cause such
insurance policies to cover matters otherwise excluded from coverage
by the terms of such policies or (B) require any insurance to remain
in force notwithstanding non-payment of premiums except as provided
in clause (iii) below.
(iii) If the insurance policy is cancelled for any reason
whatsoever, or substantial change is made in the coverage that
affects the interests of Lessor, or if the insurance coverage is
allowed to lapse for non-payment of premium, such cancellation,
change or lapse shall not be effective as to Lessor for thirty (30)
days after receipt by Lessor of written notice from the insurers of
such cancellation, change or lapse.
(iv) No Lessor Party shall have any obligation or liability
for premiums, commissions, assessments, or calls in connection with
the insurance.
(v) The insurer shall waive any rights of set-off or
counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment or
otherwise, that it may have against any Lessor Party.
(vi) The insurance shall be primary without right of
contribution from any other insurance that may be carried by any
Lessor Party with respect to its interest in the Property.
(vii) The insurer shall waive any right of subrogation against
any Lessor Party.
B-11
136
(viii) All provisions of the insurance, except the limits of
liability, shall operate in the same manner as if there were a
separate policy covering each insured party.
(ix) The insurance shall not be invalidated should Lessee or
any Lessor Party waive, in writing, prior to a loss, any or all
rights of recovery against any Person for losses covered by such
policy, nor shall the insurance in favor of any Lessor Party or
Lessee, as the case may be, or their respective rights under and
interests in said policies be invalidated or reduced by any act or
omission or negligence of any Lessee Party or Lessor, as the case
may be, or any other Person having any interest in the Property.
(x) If the insurer has not received written notice from
Lessor that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (A)
all insurance proceeds in respect of any loss or occurrence with a
value of less than fifteen million Dollars ($15,000,000) shall be
paid to and adjusted solely by Lessee and (B) all other insurance
proceeds shall be paid to Lessor and adjusted jointly by Lessor and
Lessee. From and after the date on which the insurer receives
written notice from Lessor that an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing (and unless and until such insurer receives written
notice from Lessor that all Events of Default have been cured), all
losses shall be adjusted solely by, and all insurance proceeds shall
be paid solely to, Lessor.
(xi) Each policy shall contain a standard form mortgage
endorsement in favor of Lessor.
(d) Evidence of Insurance. Lessee, at its sole cost and expense,
shall furnish to Lessor from time to time upon the request of Lessor such
certificates or other documents as Lessor may reasonably request to
evidence Lessee's compliance with the insurance requirements set forth in
this Paragraph 3.03.
(e) Release of Lessor Parties. Lessee hereby waives, releases and
discharges each Lessor Party and its directors, officers, employees,
agents and advisors from all claims whatsoever arising out of any loss,
claim, expense or damage to or destruction covered or coverable by
insurance required under this Paragraph 3.03 to the extent the policies
for such insurance permit such waiver, notwithstanding that such loss,
claim, expense or damage may have been caused by any such Person, and, as
among Lessee and such Persons, Lessee agrees to look to the insurance
coverage only in the event of such loss.
3.04. Casualty and Condemnation.
(a) Notice. Lessee shall give Lessor prompt written notice of the
occurrence of any Casualty affecting, or the institution of any
proceedings for the Condemnation of, the Property or any portion thereof.
B-12
137
(b) Repair or Purchase Option. After the occurrence of any
Casualty or Condemnation affecting the Property or any portion thereof,
Lessee shall either (i) repair and restore the Property as required by
Subparagraph 3.04(c) or (ii) exercise the Term Purchase Option and
purchase the Property pursuant to the Purchase Agreement; provided,
however, that Lessee may not elect to repair and restore the Property if
such casualty or condemnation is a Major Casualty or Major Condemnation or
if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, unless Lessor and
the Required Participants shall consent in writing. Not later than one (1)
month after the occurrence of any Casualty or Condemnation, Lessee shall
deliver to Lessor a written notice indicating whether it elects to repair
and restore or purchase the Property
(c) Repair and Restoration. If Lessee elects to repair and restore
the Property following any Casualty or Condemnation, Lessee shall
diligently proceed to repair and restore the Property to the condition in
which it existed immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation and
shall use reasonable efforts to complete all such repairs and restoration
as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than six (6) months prior
to the Scheduled Expiration Date unless Lessee currently is exercising
either the Term Purchase Option or the Expiration Date Purchase Option,.
Lessee shall use its own funds to make such repairs and restoration,
except to the extent any Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds are available
and are released to Lessee for such purpose pursuant to Subparagraph
3.04(f). Lessee's exercise of the repair and restoration option shall, if
Lessor or Required Participants direct, be subject to satisfaction of the
following conditions within one (1) month after the occurrence of the
Casualty or Condemnation:
(i) Deposit in a deposit account acceptable to and
controlled by Lessor (a "Repair and Restoration Account") of funds
(including any Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds which are
available and are released to Lessee pursuant to Subparagraph
3.04(f)) in the amount which Lessor determines is needed to complete
and fully pay all costs of the repair or restoration (including
taxes, financing charges, insurance and rent during the repair
period);
(ii) The establishment of an arrangement for lien releases
and disbursement of funds acceptable to Lessor and in a manner and
upon such terms and conditions as would be required by a prudent
interim construction lender; and
(iii) The delivery to Lessor of the following, each in form
and substance acceptable to Lessor;
(A) Evidence that the Property can, in Lessor's
reasonable judgment, with diligent restoration or repair, be
returned to a condition at least equal to the condition
thereof that existed prior to the Casualty or partial
Condemnation causing the loss or damage within the earlier to
occur of (A) six (6) months after the occurrence of the
Casualty or Condemnation and (B) unless Lessee currently is
exercising either the Term Purchase Option or the Expiration
Date Purchase Option, six (6) months prior to the Scheduled
Expiration Date;
B-13
138
(B) Evidence that all necessary governmental approvals
can be timely obtained to allow the rebuilding and reoccupancy
of the Property;
(C) Copies of all plans and specifications for the
work;
(D) Copies of all contracts for the work, signed by a
contractor reasonably acceptable to Lessor;
(E) A cost breakdown for the work;
(F) A payment and performance bond for the work or
other security satisfactory to Lender;
(G) Evidence that, upon completion of the work, the
size, capacity and total value of the Property will be at
least as great as it was before the Casualty or Condemnation
occurred; and
(H) Evidence of satisfaction of any additional
conditions that Lessor or Required Participants may reasonably
establish to protect their rights under this Agreement and the
other Operative Documents.
All plans and specifications for the work must be reasonably
acceptable to Lessor, except that Lessor's approval shall not be
required if the restoration work is based on the same plans and
specifications as were originally used to construct the Property. To
the extent that the funds in a Repair and Restoration Account
include both Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds and other funds
deposited by Lessee, the other funds deposited by Lessee shall be
used first. Lessee acknowledges that the specific conditions
described above are reasonable.
(d) Prosecution of Claims for Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds.
Lessee shall proceed promptly and diligently to prosecute in good faith
the settlement or compromise of any and all claims for Casualty and
Condemnation Proceeds; provided, however, that any settlement or
compromise of any such claim shall, except as otherwise provided in clause
(x) of Subparagraph 3.03(c), be subject to the written consent of Lessor
and Required Participants, which consents shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Lessor may participate in any proceedings relating to such
claims, and, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event
of Default, Lessor is hereby authorized, in its own name or in Lessee's
name, to adjust any loss covered by insurance or any Casualty or
Condemnation claim or cause of action, and to settle or compromise any
claim or cause of action in connection therewith, and Lessee shall from
time to time deliver to Lessor any and all further assignments and other
instruments required to permit such participation.
(e) Assignment of Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds. Lessee
hereby absolutely and irrevocably assigns to Lessor all Casualty and
Condemnation Proceeds and all claims relating thereto. Except as otherwise
provided in clause (x) of Subparagraph 3.03(c), Lessee agrees that all
Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds are to be paid to Lessor and Lessee
hereby authorizes and directs any insurer, Governmental
B-14
139
Authority or other Person responsible for paying any Casualty and
Condemnation Proceeds to make payment thereof directly to Lessor alone,
and not to Lessor and Lessee jointly. If Lessee receives any Casualty and
Condemnation Proceeds payable to Lessor hereunder, Lessee shall promptly
pay over such Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds to Lessor. Lessee hereby
covenants that until such Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds are so paid
over to Lessor, Lessee shall hold such Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds
in trust for the benefit of Lessor and shall not commingle such Casualty
and Condemnation Proceeds with any other funds or assets of Lessee or any
other Person. Except as otherwise provided in clause (x) of Subparagraph
3.03(c), Lessor may commence, appear in, defend or prosecute any assigned
right, claim or action, and may adjust, compromise, settle and collect all
rights, claims and actions assigned to Lessor, but shall not be
responsible for any failure to collect any such right, claim or action,
regardless of the cause of the failure.
(f) Use of Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds.
(i) If (A) no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, (B) Lessee exercises the repair and restoration option
pursuant to Subparagraphs 3.04(b) and 3.04(c) and (C) Lessee
complies with any conditions imposed pursuant to Subparagraph
3.04(c); then Lessor shall release any Casualty and Condemnation
Proceeds to Lessee for repair or restoration of the Property, but
may condition such release and use of the Casualty and Condemnation
Proceeds upon deposit of the Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds in a
Repair and Restoration Account. Lessor shall have the option, upon
the completion of such restoration of the Property, to apply any
surplus Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds remaining after the
completion of such restoration to the payment of Rent and/or the
reduction of the Outstanding Lease Amount, notwithstanding that such
amounts are not then due and payable or that such amounts are
otherwise adequately secured.
(ii) If (A) an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, (B) Lessee fails to or is unable to comply with any
conditions imposed pursuant to Subparagraph 3.04(c) or (C) Lessee
elects to exercise the Term Purchase Option and purchase the
Property pursuant to the Purchase Agreement; then, at the absolute
discretion of Lessor and the Required Participants, regardless of
any impairment of security or lack of impairment of security, but
subject to applicable Governmental Rules governing use of Casualty
and Condemnation Proceeds, if any, Lessor may (1) apply all or any
of the Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds it receives to the
expenses of Lessor Parties in obtaining such proceeds; (2) apply the
balance to the payment of Rent and/or the reduction of the
Outstanding Lease Amount, notwithstanding that such amounts are not
then due and payable or that such amounts are otherwise adequately
secured and/or (3) release all or any part of such proceeds to
Lessee upon any conditions Lessor and the Required Participants may
elect.
B-15
140
(iii) Lessor shall apply any Casualty and Condemnation
Proceeds which are to be used to reduce the Outstanding Lease Amount
only on the last day of a Rental Period unless a Default has
occurred and is continuing.
(iv) Application of all or any portion of the Casualty and
Condemnation Proceeds, or the release thereof to Lessee, shall not
cure or waive any Default or notice of default or invalidate any
acts done pursuant to such notice.
3.05. Taxes. Subject to Paragraph 3.12 relating to permitted contests,
Lessee shall promptly pay when due all Indemnified Taxes imposed on or payable
by Lessee or any Lessor Party in connection with the Property, this Agreement or
any of the other Operative Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby. As promptly as possible after any Indemnified Taxes are
payable by Lessee, Lessee shall send to Lessor for the account of the applicable
Lessor Party a certified copy of an original official receipt received by Lessee
showing payment thereof. If Lessee fails to pay any such Indemnified Taxes when
due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to Lessor the required
receipts or other required documentary evidence, Lessee shall indemnify the
Lessor Parties for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become
payable by the Lessor Parties as a result of any such failure. The obligations
of Lessee under this Paragraph 3.05 shall survive the payment and performance of
the Lessee Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
3.06. Environmental Matters.
(a) Lessee's Covenants. Lessee shall not cause or permit Hazardous
Materials to be used, generated, manufactured, stored, treated, disposed
of, transported or present on or released or discharged from the Property
in any manner that is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Lessee may use Hazardous Materials in connection with the operation of its
business (or the business of permitted subtenants) so long as such use is
consistent with the preceding sentence. Lessee shall immediately notify
Lessor in writing of (i) the discovery of any Hazardous Materials on,
under or about the Property; (ii) any knowledge by Lessee that the
Property does not comply with any Environmental Laws; (iii) any claims
against Lessee or the Property relating to Hazardous Materials or pursuant
to Environmental Laws; and (iv) the discovery of any occurrence or
condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the
Property that could cause the Property or any part thereof to be
designated as "border zone property" under the provisions of California
Health and Safety Code Sections 25220 et seq. or any regulation adopted in
accordance therewith. In response to the presence of any Hazardous
Materials on, under or about the Property, Lessee shall immediately take,
at Lessee's sole expense, all remedial action required by any
Environmental Laws or any judgment, consent decree, settlement or
compromise in respect to any claim based thereon.
(b) Inspection By Lessor. Upon reasonable prior notice to Lessee,
Lessor, its employees and agents, may from time to time (whether before or
after the commencement of a nonjudicial or judicial foreclosure
proceeding), enter and inspect the Property for the purpose of determining

Indemnitees from and against any claim, loss, damage, cost, expense or
liability directly or indirectly arising out of (i) the use, generation,
manufacture, storage, treatment, release, threatened release, discharge,
disposal, transportation or presence of any Hazardous Materials which are
found in, on, under or about the Property or (ii) the breach of any

obligations of Lessee under this Subparagraph 3.06(c) shall survive the
payment and performance of the Lessee Obligations and the termination of
this Agreement.
(d) Legal Effect of Section. Lessee and Lessor agree that (i) this
Paragraph 3.06 and clause (i) of Subparagraph 4.01(s) of the Participation
Agreement are intended as Lessor's written request for information (and
Lessee's response) concerning the environmental condition of the real
property security as required by California Code of Civil Procedure
Section 726.5 and (ii) each representation and warranty and covenant
herein and therein (together with any indemnity applicable to a breach of
any such representation and warranty) with respect to the environmental
condition of the Property is intended by Lessor and Lessee to be an
"environmental provision" for purposes of California Code of Civil
Procedure Section 736.
3.07. Liens, Easements, Etc.
(a) Lessee's Covenants. Subject to Paragraph 3.12 relating to

promptly (A) pay all Indebtedness of Lessee and other obligations prior to
the time the non-payment thereof would give rise to a Lien on the Property
and (B) discharge, at its sole cost and expense, any Lien on the Property
which is not a Permitted Property Lien.
B-18
143
(b) No Consents. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
construed as constituting the consent or request of any Lessor Party,
express or implied, to or for the performance by any contractor, mechanic,
laborer, materialman, supplier or vendor of any labor or services or for
the furnishing of any materials for any construction, alteration,
addition, repair or demolition of or to the Property or any part thereof.
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT NO LESSOR PARTY IS OR SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY
LABOR, SERVICES OR MATERIALS FURNISHED OR TO BE FURNISHED TO LESSEE, OR TO
ANYONE HOLDING THE PROPERTY OR ANY PART THEREOF THROUGH OR UNDER LESSEE,
AND THAT NO MECHANIC'S OR OTHER LIENS FOR ANY SUCH LABOR, SERVICES OR
MATERIALS SHALL ATTACH TO OR AFFECT THE INTEREST OF ANY LESSOR PARTY IN
AND TO THE PROPERTY.

subordinated to this Agreement; (c) each sublease has a term which expires on or

prohibits the sublessee from engaging in any activities on the Property other
than those permitted by Paragraph 2.04; and (e) no sublease has a Material
Adverse Effect. Any sublease which does not satisfy each of the requirements of

compliance therewith shall require structural or extraordinary changes in the
Improvements or interfere with the use and enjoyment of the Property), and (b)
procure, maintain and comply with all licenses, permits, orders, approvals,

contest any alleged Lien or easement on any of the Property or any alleged
Governmental Charge, Indebtedness or other obligation which is payable by Lessee
hereunder to Persons other than the Lessor Parties or which, if unpaid, would
give rise to a Lien on any of the Property, provided that (a) each such contest
is diligently pursued in good faith by appropriate proceedings; (b) the
commencement and continuation of such proceedings suspends the enforcement of
such Lien or easement or the collection of such Governmental Charge,
Indebtedness or obligation; (c) Lessee has established adequate reserves for the

satisfactory to such Lessor Party; (d) the failure to discharge such Lien or
easement or the failure to pay such Governmental Charge, Indebtedness or
obligation could not result in any criminal liability for any Lessor Party; (e)

Option, any such contest is completed and such Lien or easement is discharged
(either pursuant to such proceedings or otherwise) or such Governmental Charge,
Indebtedness or obligation is declared invalid, paid or otherwise satisfied not
later than six (6) months prior to the Scheduled Expiration Date.
3.13. Lessor Obligations; Right to Perform Lessee Obligations. No Lessor

Lessor may enter the Property or exercise any other right of Lessee under this
Agreement or any other Operative Document to the extent Lessor determines in
good faith that such entry or exercise is reasonably necessary for Lessor to
perform any such Lessee Obligation not performed by Lessee when required. Lessee

Days after demand, for all fees, costs and expenses incurred by them in
performing any such obligation or curing any Default.

per annum rate equal to the Alternate Rental Rate plus two percent (2.0%) and
shall pay and perform all of its other Lessee Obligations under this Agreement
and the other Operative Documents in the same manner as though the Term had not
ended; provided, however, that this Paragraph 4.03 shall not be interpreted to
permit such holding over or to limit any right or remedy of Lessor for such

become due or (ii) Lessee or any of its Subsidiaries shall otherwise fail
to observe or perform any agreement, term or condition contained in any
agreement or instrument relating to any Indebtedness of such Person (other
than the Lessee Obligations and trade payables), or any other event shall

Party begins to exercise any of its rights and remedies for an Event of Default
under the Operative Documents, Lessee delivers to Lessor:
(A) In the case of any Event of Default occurring
under Subparagraph 5.01(e), written evidence that the Persons
owing the applicable Indebtedness have made the required
payment in the case of a failure to pay and, in all cases
(including failure to pay), all holders of such Indebtedness
have waived (without the payment by the Persons owing such
Indebtedness of any waiver fee, penalty or other similar
payment or the provision by
B-23
148
such Persons of additional collateral) such holders' rights to

(B) In the case of all other Events of Default (except
Events of Default under Subparagraph 5.01(f) or Subparagraph

5.02. General Remedies. In all cases, upon the occurrence or existence of
any Event of Default and at any time thereafter unless such Event of Default is
waived, Lessor may, with the consent of the Required Participants, or shall,
upon instructions from the Required Participants, exercise any one or more of
the following rights and remedies (except that the remedy set forth in the first
sentence of Subparagraph 5.02(a) shall be automatic):
(a) Termination of Commitments. If such Event of Default is an
Event of Default of the type described in Subparagraph 5.01(f) or
Subparagraph 5.01(g) affecting Lessee, immediately and without notice the
obligation of Lessor to make Advances and the obligations of the
Participants to fund Advances shall automatically terminate. If such Event
of Default is any other Event of Default, Lessor may by written notice to
Lessee, terminate the obligation of Lessor to make Advances and the
obligations of the Participants to fund Advances.
(b) Appointment of a Receiver. Lessor may apply to any court of
competent jurisdiction for, and obtain appointment of, a receiver for the

B-24
149
5.03. Lease Remedies. If the transaction evidenced by this Agreement and
the other Operative Documents is treated as a lease, upon the occurrence or
existence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter unless such Event
of Default is waived, Lessor may, with the consent of the Required Participants,
or shall, upon instructions from the Required Participants, exercise any one or
more of the following rights and remedies in addition to those rights and
remedies set forth in Paragraph 5.02:
(a) Termination of Lease. Lessor may, by written notice to Lessee,
terminate this Agreement on a Termination Date which is prior to the
Scheduled Expiration Date, subject to Subparagraph 3.02(1) of the Purchase
Agreement. Such Termination Date shall be the last day of a Rental Period
unless Required Participants shall otherwise direct. On such Termination
Date (which shall then be the Expiration Date), Lessee shall pay all
unpaid Base Rent accrued through such date, all Supplemental Rent due and
payable on or prior to such date and all other amounts payable by Lessee
on the Expiration Date pursuant to this Agreement and the other Operative
Documents. Lessee also shall pay to Lessor, in addition to all accrued
Base Rent, the worth at the time of such payment of the amount by which
the unpaid Base Rent through the Scheduled Expiration Date exceeds the
amount of such rental loss for the same period that Lessee proves could
reasonably be avoided.
(b) Continuation of Lease. Lessor may exercise the rights and
remedies provided by California Civil Code Section 1951.4, including the
right to continue this Agreement in effect after Lessee's breach and
abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due. Acts of maintenance or
preservation, efforts to relet the Property, the appointment of a receiver
upon Lessor's initiative to protect its interest under this Agreement or
withholding consent to or terminating a sublease shall not of themselves
constitute a termination of Lessee's right to possession.
(c) Removal and Storage of Property. Lessor may enter the Property
and remove therefrom all Persons and property, store such property in a
public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Lessee
and sell such property and apply the proceeds therefrom pursuant to
applicable California law.
5.04. Loan Remedies. If the transaction evidenced by this Agreement and
the other Operative Documents is treated as a loan, upon the occurrence or
existence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter unless such Event
of Default is waived, Lessor may, with the consent of the Required Participants,
or shall, upon instructions from the Required Participants, exercise any one or
more of the following rights and remedies in addition to those rights and
remedies set forth in Paragraph 5.02:
(a) Acceleration of Lessee Obligations. Lessor may, by written
notice to Lessee, terminate this Agreement on a Termination Date which is
prior to the Scheduled Expiration Date, subject to Subparagraph 3.02(1) of
the Purchase Agreement, and declare all unpaid Lessee Obligations due and
payable on such Termination Date. Such Termination Date shall be the last
day of a Rental Period unless Required Participants shall otherwise
direct. On such Termination Date (which shall then be the Expiration
Date), Lessee shall pay all unpaid Base Rent accrued through such date,
all Supplemental
B-25
150
Rent due and payable on or prior to such date and all other amounts
payable by Lessee on the Expiration Date pursuant to this Agreement and
the other Operative Documents.
(b) Uniform Commercial Code Remedies. Lessor may exercise any or
all of the remedies granted to a secured party under the California
Uniform Commercial Code.
(c) Judicial Foreclosure. Lessor may bring an action in any court
of competent jurisdiction to foreclose the security interest in the
Property granted to Lessor by this Agreement or any of the other Operative
Documents.
(d) Power of Sale. Lessor may cause some or all of the Property,
including any Personal Property Collateral, to be sold under a power of
sale or otherwise disposed of in any combination and in any manner
permitted by applicable Governmental Rules.
(i) Sales of Personal Property. Lessor may dispose of any
Personal Property Collateral separately from the sale of Real
Property Collateral, in any manner permitted by Division 9 of the
California Uniform Commercial Code, including any public or private
sale, or in any manner permitted by any other applicable
Governmental Rule. Any proceeds of any such disposition shall not
cure any Event of Default or reinstate any Lessee Obligation for
purposes of Section 2924c of the California Civil Code. In
connection with any such sale or other disposition, Lessee agrees
that the following procedures constitute a commercially reasonable
sale:
(A) Lessor shall mail written notice of the sale to
Lessee not later than thirty (30) days prior to such sale.
(B) Once per week during the three (3) weeks
immediately preceding such sale, Lessor will publish notice of
the sale in a local daily newspaper of general circulation.
(C) Upon receipt of any written request, Lessor will
make the Property available to any bona fide prospective
purchaser for inspection during reasonable business hours.
(D) Notwithstanding, Lessor shall be under no
obligation to consummate a sale if, in its judgment, none of
the offers received by it equals the fair value of the
Property offered for sale.
(E) If Lessor so requests, Lessee shall assemble all
of the Personal Property Collateral and make it available to
Lessor at the site of the Land. Regardless of any provision of
this Agreement or any other Operative Document, Lessor shall
not be considered to have accepted any property other than
cash or immediately available funds in satisfaction of any
Lessee Obligation, unless Lessor has given express written
notice of its election of that remedy in accordance with
California Uniform Commercial Code Section 9505.
B-26
151
The foregoing procedures do not constitute the only procedures
that may be commercially reasonable.
B-27
152
(ii) Lessor's Sales of Real Property or Mixed Collateral.
Lessor may choose to dispose of some or all of the Property which
consists solely of Real Property Collateral in any manner then
permitted by applicable Governmental Rules, including without
limitation a nonjudicial trustee's sale pursuant to California Civil
Code xx.xx. 2924 et seq. In its discretion, Lessor may also or
alternatively choose to dispose of some or all of the Property, in
any combination consisting of both Real Property Collateral and
Personal Property Collateral, together in one sale to be held in
accordance with the law and procedures applicable to real property,
as permitted by Section 9501(4) of the California Uniform Commercial
Code. Lessee agrees that such a sale of Personal Property Collateral
together with Real Property Collateral constitutes a commercially
reasonable sale of the Personal Property Collateral. (For purposes
of this power of sale, either a sale of Real Property Collateral
alone, or a sale of both Real Property Collateral and Personal
Property Collateral together in accordance with California Uniform
Commercial Code Section 9501(4), will sometimes be referred to as a
"Lessor's Sale.")
(A) Before any Lessor's Sale, Lessor shall give such
notice of default and election to sell as may then be required
by applicable Governmental Rules.
(B) When all time periods then legally mandated have
expired, and after such notice of sale as may then be legally
required has been given, Lessor shall sell the property being
sold at a public auction to be held at the time and place
specified in the notice of sale.
(C) Neither Lessor nor Agent shall have any obligation
to make demand on Lessee before any Lessor's Sale.
(D) From time to time in accordance with then
applicable law, Lessor may postpone any Lessor's Sale by
public announcement at the time and place noticed for that
sale.
(E) At any Lessor's Sale, Lessor shall sell to the
highest bidder at public auction for cash in lawful money of
the United States.
(F) Lessor shall execute and deliver to the
purchaser(s) a deed or deeds conveying the Property being sold
without any covenant or warranty whatsoever, express or
implied. The recitals in any such deed of any matters or
facts, including any facts bearing upon the regularity or
validity of any Lessor's Sale, shall be conclusive proof of
their truthfulness. Any such deed shall be conclusive against
all Persons as to the facts recited in it.
(e) Foreclosure Sales.
(i) Single or Multiple. If the Property consists of more
than one lot, parcel or item of property, Lessor may:
B-28
153
(A) Designate the order in which the lots, parcels
and/or items shall be sold or disposed of or offered for sale
or disposition; and
(B) Elect to dispose of the lots, parcels and/or items
through a single consolidated sale or disposition to be held
or made under the power of sale granted in Subparagraph
5.04(d), or in connection with judicial proceedings, or by
virtue of a judgment and decree of foreclosure and sale; or
through two or more such sales or dispositions; or in any
other manner Lessor may deem to be in its best interests (any
such sale or disposition, a "Foreclosure Sale;" any two or
more, "Foreclosure Sales").
If Lessor chooses to have more than one Foreclosure Sale, Lessor at
its option may cause the Foreclosure Sales to be held simultaneously
or successively, on the same day, or on such different days and at
such different times and in such order as it may deem to be in its
best interests. No Foreclosure Sale shall terminate or affect the
security interests granted to Lessor in the Property by this
Agreement on any part of the Property which has not been sold, until
all of the Lessee Obligations have been paid in full.
(ii) Credit Bids. At any Foreclosure Sale, any Person,
including any Lessor Party, may bid for and acquire the Property or
any part of it to the extent permitted by then applicable
Governmental Rules. Instead of paying cash for that property, Lessor
may settle for the purchase price by crediting the sales price of
the Property against the Lessee Obligations in any order and
proportions as Lessor in its sole discretion may choose.
5.05. Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of Lessor under this
Agreement and the other Operative Documents are cumulative and may be exercised
singularly, successively, or together.
5.06. No Cure or Waiver. Neither the performance by Lessor of any of
Lessee's obligations pursuant to Paragraph 3.13 nor the exercise by Lessor of
any of its other rights and remedies under this Agreement or any other Operative
Document (including the collection of Issues and Profits and the application
thereof to the Lessee Obligations) shall constitute a cure or waiver of any
Default or nullify the effect of any notice of default or sale, unless and until
all Lessee Obligations are paid in full.
5.07. Exercise of Rights and Remedies. The rights and remedies provided to
Lessor under this Agreement may be exercised by Lessor itself, by Agent pursuant
to Subparagraph 2.02(c) of the Participation Agreement, by a court-appointed
receiver or by any other Person appointed by any of the foregoing to act on its
behalf. All of the benefits afforded to Lessor under this Agreement and the
other Operative Documents shall accrue to the benefit of Agent to the extent
provided in Subparagraph 2.02(c) of the Participation Agreement.
SECTION 6. MISCELLANEOUS.
6.01. Notices. Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices,
requests, demands, consents, instructions or other communications to or upon
Lessee or Lessor under this
B-29
154
Agreement shall be given as provided in Subparagraph 2.02(c) and Paragraph 7.01
of the Participation Agreement.
6.02. Waivers; Amendments. Any term, covenant, agreement or condition of
this Agreement may be amended or waived only as provided in the Participation
Agreement. No failure or delay by any Lessor Party in exercising any right
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other further exercise
thereof or of any other right. Unless otherwise specified in any such waiver or
consent, a waiver or consent given hereunder shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
6.03. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Lessor Parties and Lessee and their permitted
successors and assigns; provided, however, that the Lessor Parties and Lessee
shall not sell, assign or delegate their respective rights and obligations
hereunder except as provided in the Participation Agreement.
6.04. No Third Party Rights. Nothing expressed in or to be implied from
this Agreement is intended to give, or shall be construed to give, any Person,
other than the Lessor Parties and Lessee and their permitted successors and
assigns, any benefit or legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by
virtue of this Agreement or under or by virtue of any provision herein.
6.05. Partial Invalidity. If at any time any provision of this Agreement
is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the law or
any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Agreement nor the legality, validity or
enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction shall
in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
6.06. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of California without reference to
conflicts of law rules.
6.07. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
identical counterparts, any set of which signed by all the parties hereto shall
be deemed to constitute a complete, executed original for all purposes.
6.08. Nature of Lessee's Obligations.
(a) Independent Obligation. The obligation of Lessee to pay the
amounts payable by Lessee under this Agreement and the other Operative
Documents and to perform the other Lessee Obligation are absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable obligations which are separate and
independent of the obligations of the Lessor Parties under this Agreement
and the other Operative Documents and all other events and circumstances,
including the events and circumstances set forth in Subparagraph 6.08(c).
(b) No Termination or Abatement. This Agreement and the other
Operative Documents and Lessee's obligation to pay Rent and to pay and
perform all other Lessee Obligations shall continue in full force and
effect without abatement notwithstanding the
B-30
155
occurrence or existence of any event or circumstance, including any event
or circumstance set forth in Subparagraph 6.08(c).
(c) Full Payment and Performance. Lessee shall make all payments
under this Agreement and the other Operative Documents in the full amounts
and at the times required by the terms of this Agreement and the other
Operative Documents without setoff, deduction or reduction of any kind and
shall perform all other Lessee Obligations as and when required, without
regard to any event or circumstances whatsoever, including (i) the
condition of the Property (including any Improvements to the Property made
prior to the Commencement Date or during the Term); (ii) title to the
Property (including possession of the Property by any Person or the
existence of any Lien or any other right, title or interest in or to any
of the Property in favor of any Person); (iii) the value, habitability,
usability, design, operation or fitness for use of the Property; (iv) the
availability or adequacy of utilities and other services to the Property;
(v) any latent, hidden or patent defect in the Property; (vi) the zoning
or status of the Property or any other restrictions on the use of the
Property; (g) the economics of the Property; (vii) any Casualty or
Condemnation; (viii) the compliance of the Property with any applicable
Governmental Rule or Insurance Requirement; (ix) any failure by any Lessor
Party to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other
Operative Document; or (x) the exercise by any Lessor Party of any of its
remedies under this Agreement or any other Operative Document; provided,
however, that this Paragraph 6.08 shall not abrogate any right which
Lessee may have to recover damages from any Lessor Party for any material
breach by such Lessor Party of its obligations under this Agreement or any
other Operative Document to the extent permitted hereunder or thereunder.

XXXXXXXX AGREEMENT
THIS PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement" herein), dated as of November
12, 1997, is entered into by and between:
(1) KLA-TENCOR CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("Lessee"); and
(2) LEASE PLAN U.S.A., INC., a Georgia corporation ("Lessor").
RECITALS
A. Lessee has requested Lessor and the financial institutions which are
"Participants" under the Participation Agreement referred to in Recital B below
(such financial institutions to be referred to collectively as the
"Participants") to provide to Lessee a certain lease facility. Pursuant to such
facility:
(1) Lessor would (a) acquire certain property designated by Lessee
(either through purchase or lease), (b) lease to Lessee such property and
certain other property currently held by Lessor, (c) appoint Lessee as
Lessor's agent to make certain improvements to a portion of such property,
(d) make advances to finance such improvements and to pay certain related
expenses, and (e) grant to Lessee the right to purchase such property; and
(2) The Participants would participate in such lease facility by
(a) funding the purchase prices and other advances to be made by Lessor
and (b) acquiring participation interests in the rental and certain other
payments to be made by Lessee.
B. Pursuant to a Participation Agreement dated of even date herewith
(the "Participation Agreement") among Lessee, Lessor, the Participants and ABN
AMRO Bank N.V., as agent for the Participants (in such capacity, "Agent"),
Lessor and the Participants have agreed to provide such lease facility upon the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, including without
limitation the execution and delivery of this Agreement setting forth the terms
for the purchase of the Property by Lessee from Lessor.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above Recitals and the mutual
covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
C-1
171
SECTION 1. INTERPRETATION.
1.01. Definitions. Unless otherwise indicated in this Agreement or any
other Operative Document, each term set forth in Schedule 1.01 to the
Participation Agreement, when used in this Agreement or any other Operative
Document, shall have the respective meaning given to that term in such Schedule
1.01 or in the provision of this Agreement or other document, instrument or
agreement referenced in such Schedule 1.01.
1.02. Rules of Construction. Unless otherwise indicated in this Agreement
or any other Operative Document, the rules of construction set forth in Schedule
1.02 to the Participation Agreement shall apply to this Agreement and the other
Operative Documents.
SECTION 2. OPTIONAL PURCHASE BY LESSEE DURING THE TERM.
2.01. Term Purchase Option. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and the other Operative Documents (including those set forth below in
this Paragraph 2.01), Lessee may, at its option on any Business Day prior to the
Scheduled Expiration Date of the Lease Agreement, terminate the Lease Agreement
and purchase all of the Property (the "Term Purchase Option").
(a) Notice of Term Purchase Option Exercise. Lessee shall notify
Lessor of Lessee's exercise of the Term Purchase Option by delivering to
Lessor an irrevocable written notice in the form of Exhibit A(1),
appropriately completed (the "Notice of Term Purchase Option Exercise"),
which states that Lessee is exercising its right to terminate the Lease
Agreement prior to the Scheduled Expiration Date thereof pursuant to
Paragraph 4.01 of the Lease Agreement and purchase all of the Property
pursuant to this Paragraph 2.01 and specifies the Business Day on which
such termination and purchase are to occur (which date, after the delivery
of such notice, shall be the Expiration Date). Lessee shall give the
Notice of Term Purchase Option Exercise to Lessor at least one (1) month
prior to the Business Day on which such termination and purchase are to
occur. The Notice of Term Purchase Option Exercise shall be delivered as
required by Subparagraph 2.02(c) and Paragraph 7.01 of the Participation
Agreement; provided, however, that Lessee shall promptly deliver the
original of any Notice of Term Purchase Option Exercise initially
delivered by facsimile.
(b) Term Purchase Option Purchase Price. Lessee shall pay to
Lessor on the Expiration Date, as the purchase price for the Property, an
amount equal to the Outstanding Lease Amount on such date.
(c) Effect of Certain Events. Lessee may exercise the Term
Purchase Option as provided in this Paragraph 2.01, notwithstanding (i)
the prior election by Lessee to exercise the Partial Purchase Option
pursuant to Paragraph 2.02, the Marketing Option pursuant to Paragraph
3.01 and Paragraph 3.02 or the Expiration Date Purchase Option pursuant to
Paragraph 3.01 and Paragraph 3.03, provided that Lessor completes the
purchase of the Property pursuant to the Term Purchase Option and this
Agreement prior
C-2
172
to the Scheduled Expiration Date and Lessor has not previously entered
into an agreement with a Designated Purchaser or an Assignee Purchaser to
sell the Property or (ii) the occurrence of any Event of Default or the
exercise by the Lessor Parties of any of their rights or remedies under
the Operative Documents following the occurrence of such Event of Default,
provided that such exercise by Lessee of the Term Purchase Option after
the occurrence of any Event of Default shall not require the Lessor
Parties to cease exercising such rights and remedies unless and until
Lessee completes the purchase of the Property pursuant to the Term
Purchase Option and this Agreement.
2.02. Partial Purchase Option. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and the other Operative Documents (including those set forth below in
this Paragraph 2.02), Lessee may, at its option on any Business Day prior to the
Scheduled Expiration Date of the Lease Agreement, without terminating the Lease
Agreement, purchase one or more Tracts (but less than all) of the Property (the
"Partial Purchase Option").
(a) Notice of Partial Purchase Option Exercise. Lessee shall
notify Lessor of Lessee's exercise of the Partial Purchase Option by
delivering to Lessor an irrevocable written notice in the form of Exhibit
A(2), appropriately completed (the "Notice of Partial Purchase Option
Exercise"), which states that Lessee is exercising its right to purchase
one or more (but less than all) Tracts of the Property prior to the
Scheduled Expiration Date pursuant to this Paragraph 2.02 and specifies
(i) the Tract(s) so to be purchased and (ii) the Business Day on which
such purchase is to occur (a "Partial Purchase Date"). Lessee shall give
each Notice of Partial Purchase Option Exercise to Lessor at least one (1)
month prior to the Partial Purchase Date on which a purchase is to occur.
Each Notice of Partial Purchase Option Exercise shall be delivered as
required by Subparagraph 2.02(c) and Paragraph 7.01 of the Participation
Agreement; provided, however, that Lessee shall promptly deliver the
original of any Notice of Partial Purchase Option Exercise initially
delivered by facsimile.
(b) Partial Purchase Option Purchase Price. Lessee shall pay to
Lessor on each Partial Purchase Date, as the purchase price for each Tract
of Property to be purchased on such date, an amount equal to the portion
of the Outstanding Lease Amount on such date attributable to such Tract of
Property.
(c) Conditions to Exercise of Partial Purchase Option. The
purchase by Lessee on any Partial Purchase Date of any Tract of Property
pursuant to this Paragraph 2.02 is subject to receipt by Lessor, on or
prior to such Partial Purchase Date, of new Expiration Date Appraisals for
all Tracts of Property that are to remain subject to the Lease Agreement
after such Partial Purchase Date, which appraisals (i) each shall be dated
a recent date prior to such Partial Purchase Date and (ii) together shall
assess the aggregate Fair Market Value of all such remaining Tracts of
Property at not less than the Outstanding Lease Amount that will remain
after application of all amounts to be applied thereto on such Partial
Purchase Date.
C-3
173
SECTION 3. OBLIGATIONS OF LESSEE ON THE EXPIRATION DATE.
3.01. Alternative. Unless Lessee has exercised the Term Purchase Option,
on the Expiration Date of the Lease Agreement, Lessee shall either:
(a) Marketing Option. Cause another Person to complete the
purchase of the Property pursuant to Paragraph 3.02 (the "Marketing
Option"); or
(b) Expiration Date Purchase Option. Purchase the Property itself
pursuant to Paragraph 3.03 (the "Expiration Date Purchase Option").
Lessee shall elect either the Marketing Option or the Expiration Date Purchase
Option by delivering to Lessor, not more than nine (9) months nor less than six
(6) months prior to the Scheduled Expiration Date for the Lease Agreement,
either (i) a written notice in the form of Exhibit B, appropriately completed
(the "Notice of Marketing Option Exercise"), or (ii) a written notice in the
form of Exhibit C, appropriately completed (the "Notice of Expiration Date
Purchase Option Exercise"); provided, however, that (A) Lessee shall be deemed
to have elected the Expiration Date Purchase Option if it fails to deliver
either notice as required by this sentence; (B) Lessee's election of the
Expiration Date Purchase Option (whether expressly by a notice so delivered or
implicitly by the failure to deliver any notice) shall be irrevocable; and (C)
Lessee may not elect the Marketing Option if (1) the Expiration Date has been
accelerated to an earlier Termination Date following a Marketing Option Event of
Default under the Lease Agreement or (2) the conditions set forth in Paragraph
3.04 of the Participation Agreement are not satisfied on the date Lessee
delivers its election notice or on the Expiration Date of the Lease Agreement
(unless, in each case, the only event or condition causing such conditions not
to be so satisfied is the occurrence of a Non-Marketing Option Event of Default
under the Lease Agreement). The Notice of Marketing Option Exercise or the
Notice of Expiration Date Purchase Option Exercise shall be delivered as
required by Subparagraph 2.02(c) and Paragraph 7.01 of the Participation
Agreement; provided, however, that Lessee shall promptly deliver to Lessor the
original of any such notice initially delivered by facsimile.
3.02. Marketing Option.
(a) General. If Lessee elects to exercise the Marketing Option by
delivering to Lessor a Notice of Marketing Option Exercise pursuant to
Paragraph 3.01, Lessee shall (i) locate a purchaser which satisfies the
requirements set forth in this Paragraph 3.02, (ii) arrange for such
purchaser to purchase the Property on the Expiration Date for a purchase
price which is not less than the lesser of (A) the sum of the total
Tranche B Proportionate Share and the total Tranche C Proportionate Share
of the Outstanding Lease Amount and (B) the Fair Market Value of the
Property and (iii) otherwise comply, or cause compliance with, the
requirements of this Paragraph 3.02 and the other applicable provisions of
this Agreement.
(b) Lessee's Marketing Obligations.
(i) Initial Marketing Period. During the period beginning on
the date Lessee delivers the Notice of Marketing Option Exercise and
ending on the date which is four (4) months prior to the Expiration
Date of the Lease Agreement (the
C-4
174
"Initial Marketing Period"), Lessee shall use reasonable efforts to
solicit Conforming Bids from potential purchasers of the Property.
On or prior to the last day of the Initial Marketing Period, Lessee
shall deliver to Lessor any Conforming Bid selected by Lessee (the
"Initial Bid"). If the purchase price specified in the Initial Bid
is equal to or greater than the sum of the total Tranche B
Proportionate Share and the total Tranche C Proportionate Share of
the Outstanding Lease Amount, Lessor shall accept such bid and
Lessee shall have no further obligations to solicit additional bids.
(ii) Secondary Marketing Period. If Lessee does not submit an
Initial Bid or if the purchase price specified in the Initial Bid is
less than the sum of the total Tranche B Proportionate Share and the
total Tranche C Proportionate Share of the Outstanding Lease Amount,
Lessor may reject such bid and Lessee shall, during the period which
begins on the day following the Initial Marketing Period and ends on
the date two (2) months prior to the Expiration Date of the Lease
Agreement (the "Secondary Marketing Period"):
(A) Use its best efforts to solicit additional
Conforming Bids, including the engagement of experienced and
knowledgeable brokers;
(B) Furnish to each Lessor Party copies of all bids
and otherwise provide each Lessor Party with such information
relating to the marketing of the Property as such Person may
reasonably request in writing;
(C) Agree to provide to all potential purchasers all
customary seller's indemnities (including environmental
indemnities), representations and warranties regarding the
Property (including the title to, except for Lessor Liens, and
condition of the Property);
(D) Furnish to each Lessor Party copies of
environmental reports, architect's certificates, licenses,
permits and other evidence reasonably requested by such Person
to establish that no Default has occurred and is continuing
under the Lease Agreement;
(E) Permit any Lessor Party or potential purchaser to
inspect the Property and the maintenance records for the
Property upon reasonable prior written notice and during
normal business hours and provide to each such Person all
information regarding the Property reasonably requested by
such Person in writing;
(F) Take all other commercially reasonable steps to
secure the best price for the Property; and
(G) Submit to Lessor on or prior to the last day of
the Secondary Marketing Period any Conforming Bid selected by
Lessee with a purchase price which is equal to or greater than
the sum of the total Tranche B Proportionate Share and the
total Tranche C Proportionate
C-5

During the Secondary Marketing Period, any Lessor Party shall have
the right to submit one or more bids or solicit bids from other

Affiliates to sell, lease or otherwise make available to Lessee or
any of its Affiliates any portion of the Property;
(ii) The bidder must agree in writing to purchase the
Property on the Expiration Date of the Lease Agreement for a
purchase price to be paid in cash which is not less than the lesser
of (A) the sum of the total Tranche B Proportionate Share and the
total Tranche C Proportionate Share of the Outstanding Lease Amount
on such date and (B) the Fair Market Value of the Property on such
date;
(iii) The bidder must agree to purchase the Property "as is"
without any representations, warranties or indemnities, except for
(A) any representations, warranties or indemnities provided by
Lessor and Lessee pursuant to Subparagraph 4.01(b) and (B) any
representations, warranties or indemnities provided by Lessee
pursuant to clause (ii)(C) of Subparagraph 3.02(b); and
(iv) The bidder must agree to be bound by the other terms and
conditions of this Agreement applicable to bidders.
(d) Lessor's Obligation to Accept Bids. If, at any time on or
prior to the last day of the Secondary Marketing Period, Lessee submits to
Lessor a Conforming Bid under this Paragraph 3.02 with a purchase price
which is equal to or greater than the sum of the total Tranche B
Proportionate Share and the total Tranche C Proportionate Share of the
Outstanding Lease Amount, Lessor shall accept such bid. If Lessee submits
to Lessor a Conforming Bid under this Paragraph 3.02 with a purchase price
which is less than the sum of the total Tranche B Proportionate Share and
the total Tranche C Proportionate Share of the Outstanding Lease Amount,
Lessor shall not accept such bid unless so directed by Required
Participants. If Lessee fails to submit a bid to Lessor on or prior to the
last day of the Secondary Marketing Period which Lessor is so required to
accept, Lessor shall retain the Property after the Expiration Date of the
Lease Agreement; provided, however, that Lessee's payment obligations on
such Expiration Date shall be limited to the amounts payable pursuant to
clause (iii) of Subparagraph 4.06(a) if (i) Lessor retains the Property

Secondary Marketing Period in accordance with clause (ii) of Subparagraph
3.02(b) and (ii) the Marketing Option has not terminated prior to such
Expiration Date
C-6
176
pursuant to Subparagraph 3.02(f). Lessor shall notify Lessee of Lessor's
election to retain the Property by delivering to Lessee, at least ten (10)

Person (the "Designated Purchaser") shall pay to Lessor on the Expiration
Date of the Lease Agreement, as the purchase price for the Property, the
amount set forth in such bid as the purchase price.
(f) Termination of the Marketing Option. Lessee's right to
exercise the Marketing Option shall immediately terminate and Lessee shall
purchase the Property on the Expiration Date of the Lease Agreement
pursuant to Paragraph 3.03 if (i) Lessee fails to comply with any of its
obligations under this Paragraph 3.02; (ii) a Marketing Option Event of
Default under the Lease Agreement occurs after Lessee delivers the Notice
of Marketing Option Exercise; (iii) the conditions precedent set forth in
Paragraph 3.04 of the Participation Agreement are not satisfied on the
Expiration Date of the Lease Agreement (unless the only event or condition
causing such conditions not to be so satisfied is the occurrence of a

the Designated Purchaser fails to consummate the purchase of the Property
on the Expiration Date of the Lease Agreement in accordance with its
accepted bid and this Agreement, without regard to the reason for such
failure (except as otherwise provided in the following proviso); provided,
however, that, if the Designated Purchaser fails to consummate the
purchase of the Property on the Expiration Date solely due to Lessor's
failure to remove Lessor Liens or deliver the required deed and xxxx of
sale or other documents required to be delivered by Lessor hereunder,
Lessee's right to exercise the Marketing Option shall not terminate,
Lessee shall not be required to purchase the Property on the Expiration
Date and Lessee's payment obligations on the Expiration Date shall be
limited to the amounts set forth in clause (ii) of Subparagraph 4.06(a).
(g) Residual Value Guaranty Amount and Indemnity Amount. Unless
Lessee's right to exercise the Marketing Option has terminated and Lessee
is required to purchase the Property on the Expiration Date of the Lease
Agreement pursuant to Paragraph 3.03, Lessee shall pay to Lessor on such
Expiration Date the following:
(i) An amount equal to the total Tranche A Proportionate
Share of the Outstanding Lease Amount under on such date (the
"Residual Value Guaranty Amount"); and
(ii) An amount equal to the decrease, if any, between the
Commencement Date and the Expiration Date of the Lease Agreement in
the Fair Market Value of the Property caused by (A) any
representation or warranty of Lessee or any of its Affiliates
regarding the Property set forth in any of the Operative Documents
proving to be false or inaccurate when made, (B) the existence of,
or the failure of Lessee to pay any Governmental Charge,
Indebtedness or other obligation which might give rise to, any Liens
in the Property (other than Permitted Property Liens), (C) the
failure of Lessee to complete any New Improvements or any
Modifications or (D) any other failure of
C-7
177
Lessee to comply with any of its obligations regarding the Property
set forth in any of the Operative Documents (the "Indemnity
Amount");
Provided, however, that (A) Lessee shall not be obligated to pay any
Residual Value Guaranty Amount or Indemnity Amount if the purchase price
paid to Lessor equals or exceeds the Outstanding Lease Amount on such date
and (B) the sum of any Residual Value Guaranty Amount and Indemnity Amount
payable to Lessor on the Expiration Date of the Lease Agreement shall not
exceed the deficiency, if any, between such Outstanding Lease Amount and
such purchase price.
(h) Determination of Fair Market Value and Indemnity Amount. If
the purchase price specified in the Initial Bid is less than the sum of
the total Tranche B Proportionate Share and the total Tranche C
Proportionate Share of the Outstanding Lease Amount, Lessor may, on or
prior to the last day of the Secondary Marketing Period (if Lessee has not
previously delivered to Lessor a Conforming Bid with a purchase price
equal to or greater than the sum of the total Tranche B Proportionate
Share and the total Tranche C Proportionate Share of the Outstanding Lease
Amount), deliver to Lessee a written notice of Lessor's determination of
the current Fair Market Value of the Property and the Indemnity Amount. To
determine such amounts, Lessor shall obtain Appraisals of the Property
which set forth:
(i) A current Appraisal of the Fair Market Value of the
Property in its then existing condition (the "Current Appraisal");
and
(ii) An Appraisal of the Fair Market Value of the Property
which assumes that (A) all representations and warranties regarding
the Property made by Lessee or any of its Affiliates in any of the
Operative Documents were true and correct when made; (B) Lessee has
maintained the Property in compliance with all applicable
Governmental Rules, Insurance Requirements and the Operative
Documents; (C) Lessee has completed all Modifications and any other
New Improvements in a good and workmanlike manner and otherwise as
required by the Operative Documents; (D) Lessee has repaired the
Property as required by the Operative Documents following any
Casualty; (E) Lessee has restored the Property as required by the
Operative Documents following any Condemnation; (F) Lessee has paid
all Governmental Charges, Indebtedness and other obligations which,
if unpaid, might give rise to a Lien (other than a Lessor Lien) on
the Property; (G) Lessee has removed all Liens on the Property
except for Permitted Property Liens and Lessor Liens; and (H) Lessee
has performed all of its other obligations as required by the
Operative Documents (the "Assumed Appraisal").
In the absence of manifest error, (A) the Current Appraisal shall
constitute the current Fair Market Value of the Property and (B) the
difference between the Current Appraisal and the Assumed Appraisal shall
constitute the Indemnity Amount if the Current Appraisal is less than the
Assumed Appraisal.
C-8
178
(i) Lessee not an Agent. Lessee shall not be an agent for any of
the Lessor Parties in arranging for a purchaser of the Property. No Lessor
Party shall be bound by any acts of Lessee.
(j) Excess Proceeds. If, on the Expiration Date of the Lease
Agreement, after the application by Lessor of all amounts received by
Lessor on such date to the Outstanding Lease Amount, all unpaid Rent
accrued through or due and payable on or prior to such date and all other
amounts, if any, due and payable by Lessee under the Operative Documents
on or prior to such date, any excess amount remains, Lessor shall pay such
excess amount to Lessee.
(k) Creditworthiness of Designated Purchaser. Lessee assumes all
responsibility for determining the creditworthiness of any potential
purchaser on any bid submitted by Lessee to Lessor hereunder. If, after
any purchase by a Designated Purchaser hereunder, the purchase price paid
by such Designated Purchaser is recovered from any Lessor Party, Lessee
shall reimburse such Lessor Party for such recovery unless such recovery
is due solely to a material misrepresentation or covenant breach by such
Lessor Party.
(l) Exercise of Marketing Option After Non-Marketing Option Event
of Default. If Lessor notifies Lessee pursuant to Subparagraph 5.03(a) or
Subparagraph 5.04(a) of the Lease Agreement that Lessor is terminating the
Lease Agreement on a Termination Date which is prior to the Scheduled
Expiration Date of the Lease Agreement and the only basis for such early
termination is the occurrence of a Non-Marketing Option Event of Default,
Lessee may, subject to Paragraph 3.01, elect to exercise the Marketing
Option if, not later than ten (10) Business Days after it receives from
Lessor such notice of early termination, it (i) delivers to Lessor a
Notice of Marketing Option Exercise, (ii) delivers to Agent (A) a Cash
Collateral Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Lessor and Agent and (B) Cash Collateral in an amount not less than 105%
of the total Tranche A Proportionate Share of the Outstanding Lease
Amount, and (iii) delivers to Lessor an opinion in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Lessor regarding the Cash Collateral Agreement
and Lessor's security interest in such Cash Collateral and (iv) takes such
other actions as may be necessary to grant to Agent first priority
perfected security interests in such Cash Collateral in accordance with
the Cash Collateral Agreement. Upon the delivery by Lessee to Lessor of a
Notice of Marketing Option Exercise and satisfaction of the Cash
Collateral requirements set forth in the preceding sentence of this
Subparagraph 3.02(l), the Expiration Date of the Lease Agreement shall, if
the conditions to the exercise of the Marketing Option set forth in
Paragraph 3.01 are satisfied, be extended to the first Business Day that
is six (6) months after the date of receipt by Lessor of such Notice of
Marketing Option Exercise, provided, however, that in no event shall the
Expiration Date of the Lease Agreement be extended beyond the Scheduled
Expiration Date. Any exercise by Lessee of the Marketing Option pursuant
to this Subparagraph 3.02(l) shall be subject to the terms and conditions
otherwise set forth in this Agreement.
(m) Lessor's Obligation to Sell. If Lessor retains the Property
after the Expiration Date for any reason under the Operative Documents
without a judicial or non-
C-9
179
judicial foreclosure sale or a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure from Lessee,
Lessor thereafter shall use commercially reasonable efforts to sell the
Property in a reasonable time to one or more unrelated third parties for
the Fair Market Value of the Property; provided, however that Lessor shall
have no obligation to sell the Property at a time, or in a manner, that
would adversely affect the Lessor Parties' ability to be paid in full the
Outstanding Lease Amount, all other amounts payable to the Lessor Parties
under the Operative Documents (including reasonable costs of maintaining,
managing and selling the Property) and carrying costs for the Outstanding
Lease Amount and such other amounts accruing at the Base Rate. Following
such sale, Lessor shall pay to Lessee any amounts received by Lessor in
excess of the amounts referred to in the proviso to the preceding
sentence.

(a) General. If (i) Lessee elects to exercise the Expiration Date
Purchase Option by delivering to Lessor a Notice of Expiration Date
Purchase Option Exercise pursuant to Paragraph 3.01; (ii) Lessee elects to
exercise the Marketing Option by delivering to Lessor a Notice of
Marketing Option Exercise pursuant to Paragraph 3.01 but the Marketing
Option terminates pursuant to Subparagraph 3.02(f); or (iii) Lessee fails
to deliver to Lessor either notice as required by Paragraph 3.01; Lessee
shall purchase the Property on the Expiration Date of the Lease Agreement
and otherwise comply, or cause compliance with, the requirements of this
Paragraph 3.03 and the other applicable provisions of this Agreement.
(b) Purchase Price. Lessee shall pay to Lessor on the Expiration
Date of the Lease Agreement, as the purchase price for the Property, an
amount equal to the Outstanding Lease Amount under on such date.

this Agreement may be amended or waived only as provided in the Participation

Specifications without the written consent of Lessor if such revision,
amendment, supplementation or modification (either alone or together with all
prior revisions, amendments, supplementations and modifications to all Plans and
Specifications for all of the Tracts of Property) is reasonably likely to:
(a) Cause the Acquisition Prices plus all other costs and expenses
of acquiring all of the Tracts of Property and constructing all of the New
Improvements to all the Tracts of Property in accordance with this
Agreement (including all Permitted Improvement Costs and Permitted
Transaction Expenses paid or to be paid with Advances) to exceed the

of all the New Improvements to such Tract of Property in accordance with
this Agreement on or prior to the Outside Completion Date; or

less than the most recent Expiration Date Appraisal for such Tract of

not deliver an Expiration Date Appraisal, the Closing Date Appraisal
therefor) or otherwise decrease in any material amount.

239
any other Person under the Construction Agreements; (c) not to revise, amend or

prior written approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld, except as
otherwise may be permitted by the Operative Documents; and (d) not to further

consent, a waiver or consent given hereunder shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

for the benefit of Lessor:
(a) Except with the prior written approval of Lessor, Contractor

expiration of seventy-two (72) hours after deposit in United States Postal

Contractor's performance under the Construction Agreements in writing,

such costs have been paid in full.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above Recitals and the mutual
covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

7.01. Definitions. Unless otherwise indicated in this Assignment or any
other Operative Document, each term set forth in Schedule 1.01 to the

Document, shall have the respective meaning given to that term in such Schedule
1.01 or in the provision of this Assignment or other document, instrument or
agreement referenced in such Schedule 1.01.
7.02. Rules of Construction. Unless otherwise indicated in this Assignment
or any other Operative Document, the rules of construction set forth in Schedule
1.02 to the Participation Agreement shall apply to this Assignment and the other
Operative Documents.
SECTION 8. ASSIGNMENT.
8.01. Assignment. As security for the Lessor Obligations, Lessor hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally grants, conveys, transfers and assigns to Agent,
for the benefit of the Participants and Agent, all estate, right, title and
interest of Lessor, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in the Lease
Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, including all claims and rights to the
payment of money at any time arising in connection with any repudiation,
rejection or breach of either agreement by Lessee or a trustee or receiver of
Lessee in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.
8.02. Receipt of Rents, Etc. Lessor hereby irrevocably designates Agent
(or its designee) to receive all Rents and other payments to be made by Lessee
under the Lease Agreement and the Purchase Agreement. Lessor shall direct (and
hereby directs) Lessee to deliver to Agent (or its designee), at its address set
forth in the Participation Agreement or at such other address or to such other
Person as Agent shall designate, all such payments, and no delivery thereof by
Lessee shall be of any force or effect unless made to Agent (or its designee),
as herein provided. Lessor and Agent agree that Lessee, in making such payments
to Agent pursuant to the directions contained in this Assignment and in reliance
on such directions shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligation for such
payments under the Lease Agreement.
8.03. Irrevocability; Supplemental Instruments. Lessor agrees that (a)
this Assignment is irrevocable, (b) Lessor will not take any action under the
Lease Agreement or the Purchase Agreement or otherwise which is inconsistent
with this Assignment, (c) any action, assignment, designation or direction
inconsistent herewith shall be void and (d) Lessor will from time to time
execute and deliver all instruments of further assurance and do such further
acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the
purpose of this Assignment.
8.04. Validity. Lessor represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that (a)
Lessor has not assigned or executed any assignment of, and will not assign or
execute any assignment of, Lessor's estate, right, title or interest in the
Lease Agreement or the Purchase Agreement to
I-2
247
anyone other than Agent, (b) any such assignment is void, and (c) Lessor has not
taken any action that impairs the rights of Agent hereunder.
8.05. Lessor Remains Liable. The assignment made hereby is made for the
purpose of securing the Lessor Obligations only and does not (a) impair or
diminish in any way the obligations of Lessor under the Lease Agreement or the
Purchase Agreement or (b) obligate Agent (or its designee) or any Participant to
perform any of the obligations of Lessor under the Lease Agreement or the
Purchase Agreement. This Assignment shall not operate to cause Agent (or its
designee) to be regarded as a mortgagee in possession.
8.06. Effect of Amendments. If the Lease Agreement or the Purchase
Agreement shall be amended, it shall continue to be subject to the provisions
hereof without the necessity of any further act by any of the parties hereto.
8.07. Absolute Assignment. Lessor has, subject to and in accordance with
the terms and conditions of this Assignment, assigned and transferred unto Agent
all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to all Rents and other amounts
now or hereafter payable by Lessee under the Lease Agreement and the Purchase
Agreement, it being intended to establish an absolute transfer and assignment,
subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Assignment,
of all such Rents and other amounts to Agent and not merely to grant a security
interest therein. Subject to the Lease Agreement, Agent (or its designee) may,
in Lessor's name and stead, operate the Property and rent, lease or let all or
any portion of the Property to any party or parties at such rental and upon such
terms as Agent (or its designee) shall, in its discretion, determine.
8.08. Receivers. If, notwithstanding the terms of this Assignment, a
petition or order for sequestration of rents, or the appointment of a receiver
or some similar judicial action or order is deemed required under applicable
California law to allow Agent to continue to collect the Rents and other amounts
payable by Lessee under the Lease Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, then it
is agreed by Lessor that any proof of claim or similar document filed by Agent
in connection with the breach or rejection of the Lease Agreement or the
Purchase Agreement by Lessee thereunder or the trustee of any lessee under any
federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law shall, for the
purpose of perfecting Agent's rights, be deemed to constitute action required
under such California law. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, Lessor hereby consents to the appointment of a receiver for
Lessor's interest in the Property without regard to the solvency of Lessor or to
the collateral that may be available for the satisfaction of the Lessor
Obligations.
SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS.
9.01. Notices. Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices,
requests, demands, consents, instructions or other communications to or upon
Lessor or Agent under this Assignment shall be given as provided in Paragraph
7.01 of the Participation Agreement.
9.02. Waivers; Amendments. Any term, covenant, agreement or condition of
this Assignment may be amended or waived only as provided in the Participation
Agreement. No failure or delay by Agent in exercising any right hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right preclude any other
I-3
248
further exercise thereof or of any other right. Unless otherwise specified
in any such waiver or consent, a waiver or consent given hereunder shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
given.
9.03. Successors and Assigns. This Assignment shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Lessor Parties and their permitted successors and
assigns; provided, however, that the Lessor Parties shall not sell, assign or
delegate their respective rights and obligations hereunder except as provided in
the Participation Agreement.
9.04. No Third Party Rights. Nothing expressed in or to be implied from
this Assignment is intended to give, or shall be construed to give, any Person,
other than the Lessor Parties and their permitted successors and assigns, any
benefit or legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by virtue of this
Assignment or under or by virtue of any provision herein.
9.05. Partial Invalidity. If at any time any provision of this Assignment
is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the law or
any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Assignment nor the legality, validity or
enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction shall
in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
9.06. Governing Law. This Assignment shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of California without reference to
conflicts of law rules.
9.07. Counterparts. This Assignment may be executed in any number of
identical counterparts, any set of which signed by all the parties hereto shall
be deemed to constitute a complete, executed original for all purposes.

occurrence of any casualty affecting, or the institution of any
proceedings for eminent domain or for the condemnation of, the Property or

proceedings, and Agent is hereby authorized, in its own name or in
Lessor's name, to adjust any loss covered by insurance or any condemnation
claim or cause of action, and to settle or compromise any claim or cause
of action in connection therewith, and Lessor shall from time to time
deliver to Agent any and all further assignments and other instruments
required to permit such participation. The provisions regarding the
adjustment of any loss covered by insurance or any condemnation claim or
cause of action, and to settlement or compromise of any claim or cause of
action in connection therewith provided in this Section 4.03(a) are
subject to the adjustment, settlement and compromise provisions set forth

settlement and compromise provisions as provided in the Lease Agreement
shall govern.

condemnation provisions set forth in the Lease Agreement. In the event of
any conflict, the insurance and condemnation provisions as provided in the

4.04. Acceptance of Trust; Powers and Duties of Trustee. Trustee accepts
this trust when this Deed of Trust is recorded. From time to time upon written
request of Agent and presentation of this Deed of Trust, or a certified copy
thereof, for endorsement, and without affecting the personal liability of any
person for payment of any indebtedness or performance of any Secured Obligation,
Trustee may, without liability therefor and without notice: (a) reconvey all or
any part of the Property; (b) consent to the making of any map or plat thereof;
(c) join in granting any easement thereon; (d) join in any declaration of
covenants and restrictions; or (e) join in any extension agreement or any
agreement subordinating the lien or charge hereof. Except as may otherwise be
required by applicable law, Trustee or Agent may from time to time apply to any
court of competent jurisdiction for aid and direction in the execution of the
trusts hereunder and the enforcement of the rights and remedies available
hereunder, and Trustee or Agent may obtain orders or decrees directing or
confirming or approving acts in the execution of said trusts and the enforcement
of said remedies. Trustee has no obligation to notify any party of any pending
sale or any action or proceeding (including, without limitation, actions in
which Lessor, Agent or Trustee shall be a party) unless held or commenced and
maintained by Trustee under this Deed of Trust. Trustee shall not be obligated
to perform any act required of it
J-3
260
hereunder unless the performance of the act is requested in writing and Trustee
is reasonably indemnified and held harmless against loss, cost, liability and
expense.
4.05. Substitution of Trustee. From time to time, by a writing signed and
acknowledged by Agent and recorded in the Office of the Recorder of the County
in which the Property is situated, Agent may appoint another trustee to act in
the place and stead of Trustee or any successor. Such writing shall set forth
any information required by law. The recordation of such instrument of
substitution shall discharge Trustee herein named and shall appoint the new
trustee as the trustee hereunder with the same effect as if originally named
trustee herein. A writing recorded pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph
shall be conclusive proof of the proper substitution of such new trustee.
4.06. Partial and Full Reconveyance. Agent may release, for such
consideration or none, as it may require, any portion of the Property without,
as to the remainder of the Property, in any way impairing or affecting the lien,
security interest and priority herein provided to the Agent as to any other lien
holder or secured party. Further, upon satisfaction in full of the Secured
Obligations, or upon Agent's written request, and upon surrender of this Deed of
Trust or certified copy thereof and any note, instrument or instruments setting
forth all obligations secured hereby to Trustee for cancellation, Trustee shall
reconvey, without warranty, the Property or that portion thereof then held
hereunder. The recitals of any matters or facts in any reconveyance executed
hereunder shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. To the extent
permitted by law, the reconveyance may describe the grantee as "the person or
persons legally entitled thereto." Neither Agent nor Trustee shall have any duty
to determine the rights of persons claiming to be rightful grantees of any
reconveyance.
4.07. Releases, Extensions, Modifications and Additional Security. Agent
may, from time to time, release any person or entity from liability for the
payment or performance of any Secured Obligation, take any action or make any
agreement extending the maturity or otherwise altering the terms or increasing
the amount of any Secured Obligation, or accept additional security or release
all or a portion of the Property and other security for the Secured Obligations.
None of the foregoing actions shall release or impair the priority of the lien
of this Deed of Trust upon the Property.
SECTION 5. DEFAULT; REMEDIES.
5.01. Event of Default. The occurrence of any of the following events
shall be deemed an event of default ("Event of Default") hereunder:
(a) The occurrence of an Event of Default as defined in the Lease
Agreement; or
(b) Lessor shall fail to observe, perform or discharge any of
Lessor's Obligations, and (i) such failure shall remain uncured for thirty
(30) days after written notice thereof shall have been given to Lessor by
Agent, or (ii) if such failure is of such a nature that it cannot be cured
within such thirty (30) day period, Lessor shall fail to commence to cure
such failure within such thirty (30) day period or shall fail to
diligently prosecute such curative action thereafter.
J-4
261
5.02. Rights and Remedies. At any time after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, Agent and Trustee shall each have all of the
following rights and remedies:
(a) Appointment of a Receiver. To apply to any court of competent
jurisdiction for, and obtain appointment of, a receiver for the Property.
(b) Specific Performance. To bring an action in any court of
competent jurisdiction to obtain specific enforcement of any of the
covenants or agreements of Lessor in this Deed of Trust or any of the
other Operative Documents.
(c) Collection of Issues and Profits. To collect Issues and
Profits.
(d) Protection of Property. To enter, take possession of, manage
and operate all or any part of the Property or take any other actions
which it reasonably determines are necessary to protect the Property and
the rights and remedies of Agent under this Deed of Trust and the other
Operative Documents, including (i) taking and possessing all of Lessor's
books and records; (ii) entering into, enforcing, modifying, or canceling
subleases on such terms and conditions as Agent may consider proper; (iii)
obtaining and evicting tenants; (iv) fixing or modifying sublease rents;
(v) collecting and receiving any payment of money owing to Lessee; (vi)
completing any unfinished Improvements; and/or (vii) contracting for and
making repairs and alterations.
(e) Uniform Commercial Code Remedies. To exercise any or all of
the remedies granted to a secured party under the California Uniform
Commercial Code.
(f) Judicial Foreclosure. To bring an action in any court of
competent jurisdiction to foreclose the security interest in the Property
granted to Agent by this Deed of Trust or any of the other Operative
Documents.
(g) Power of Sale. To cause some or all of the Property, including
any Personal Property Collateral, to be sold under a power of sale or
otherwise disposed of in any combination and in any manner permitted by
applicable Governmental Rules.
(i) Sales of Personal Property. Agent may dispose of any
Personal Property Collateral separately from the sale of Real
Property Collateral, in any manner permitted by Division 9 of the
California Uniform Commercial Code, including any public or private
sale, or in any manner permitted by any other applicable
Governmental Rule. Any proceeds of any such disposition shall not
cure any Event of Default or reinstate any Lessor Obligation for
purposes of Section 2924c of the California Civil Code. In
connection with any such sale or other disposition, Lessor agrees
that the following procedures constitute a commercially reasonable
sale:
(A) Agent shall mail written notice of the sale to
Lessor not later than thirty (30) days prior to such sale.
J-5
262
(B) Once per week during the three weeks immediately
preceding such sale, Agent will publish notice of the sale in
a local daily newspaper of general circulation.
(C) Upon receipt of any written request, Agent will
make the Property available to any bona fide prospective
purchaser for inspection during reasonable business hours.
(D) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
Agent shall be under no obligation to consummate a sale if, in
its judgment, none of the offers received by it equals the
fair value of the Property offered for sale.
(E) If Agent so requests, Lessor shall assemble all of
the Personal Property Collateral and make it available to
Agent at the site of the Land. Regardless of any provision of
this Deed of Trust or any other Operative Document, Agent
shall not be considered to have accepted any property other
than cash or immediately available funds in satisfaction of
any Lessor Obligation, unless Agent has given express written
notice of its election of that remedy in accordance with
California Uniform Commercial Code Section 9505.
The foregoing procedures do not constitute the only procedures that
may be commercially reasonable.
(ii) Agent's Sales of Real Property or Mixed Collateral.
Agent may choose to dispose of some or all of the Property which
consists solely of Real Property Collateral in any manner then
permitted by applicable Governmental Rules, including without
limitation a nonjudicial trustee's sale pursuant to California Civil
Code xx.xx. 2924 et seq. In its discretion, Agent may also or
alternatively choose to dispose of some or all of the Property, in
any combination consisting of both Real Property Collateral and
Personal Property Collateral, together in one sale to be held in
accordance with the law and procedures applicable to real property,
as permitted by Section 9501(4) of the California Uniform Commercial
Code. Lessor agrees that such a sale of Personal Property Collateral
together with Real Property Collateral constitutes a commercially
reasonable sale of the Personal Property Collateral. (For purposes
of this power of sale, either a sale of Real Property Collateral
alone, or a sale of both Real Property Collateral and Personal
Property Collateral together in accordance with California Uniform
Commercial Code Section 9501(4), will sometimes be referred to as an
"Agent's Sale.")
(A) Before any Agent's Sale, Agent shall give such
notice of default and election to sell as may then be required
by applicable Governmental Rules.
J-6
263
(B) When all time periods then legally mandated have
expired, and after such notice of sale as may then be legally
required has been given, Agent shall sell the property being
sold at a public auction to be held at the time and place
specified in the notice of sale.
(C) Agent shall have no obligation to make demand on
Lessor before any Agent's Sale.
(D) From time to time in accordance with then
applicable law, Agent may postpone any Agent's Sale by public
announcement at the time and place noticed for that sale.
(E) At any Agent's Sale, Agent shall sell to the
highest bidder at public auction for cash in lawful money of
the United States.
(F) Agent shall execute and deliver to the
purchaser(s) a deed or deeds conveying the Property being sold
without any covenant or warranty whatsoever, express or
implied. The recitals in any such deed of any matters or
facts, including any facts bearing upon the regularity or
validity of any Agent's Sale, shall be conclusive proof of
their truthfulness. Any such deed shall be conclusive against
all Persons as to the facts recited in it.
(h) Foreclosure Sales.
(i) Single or Multiple. If the Property consists of more
than one lot, parcel or item of property, Agent may:
(A) Designate the order in which the lots, parcels
and/or items shall be sold or disposed of or offered for sale
or disposition; and
(B) Elect to dispose of the lots, parcels and/or items
through a single consolidated sale or disposition to be held
or made under the power of sale granted under this Deed of
Trust, or in connection with judicial proceedings, or by
virtue of a judgment and decree of foreclosure and sale; or
through two or more such sales or dispositions; or in any
other manner Agent may deem to be in its best interests (any
such sale or disposition, a "Foreclosure Sale;" any two or
more, "Foreclosure Sales").
If Agent chooses to have more than one Foreclosure Sale, Agent at
its option may cause the Foreclosure Sales to be held simultaneously
or successively, on the same day, or on such different days and at
such different times and in such order as it may deem to be in its
best interests. No Foreclosure Sale shall terminate or affect the
security interests granted to Agent in the Property by this Deed of
Trust on any part of the Property which has not been sold, until all
of the Lessor Obligations have been performed in full.
J-7
264
(ii) Credit Bids. At any Foreclosure Sale, any Person,
Participant or Agent may bid for and acquire the Property or any
part of it to the extent permitted by then applicable Governmental
Rules. Instead of paying cash for that property, Agent may settle
for the purchase price by crediting the sales price of the Property
against the Lessor Obligations in any order and proportions as Agent
in its sole discretion may choose.
(i) Other Rights and Remedies. To exercise any other right, power
or remedy permitted to it by any applicable Governmental Rule, either by
suit in equity or by action at law, or both.
5.03. Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of Agent under this
Deed of Trust and the other Operative Documents are cumulative and may be
exercised singularly, successively, or together.
5.04. No Cure or Waiver. The exercise by Agent of any of its other rights
and remedies under this Deed of Trust or any other Operative Document (including
the collection of Issues and Profits) shall not constitute a cure or waiver of
any Event of Default or nullify the effect of any notice of default or sale,
unless and until all Lessor Obligations are performed in full.
5.05. Exercise of Rights and Remedies. The rights and remedies provided to
Agent under this Deed of Trust may be exercised by Agent itself, by a
court-appointed receiver or by any other Person appointed by any of the
foregoing to act on its behalf. All of the benefits afforded to Agent under this
Deed of Trust and the other Operative Documents shall accrue to the benefit of
the Participants to the extent provided in Subparagraph 2.02(c) of the
Participation Agreement.
SECTION 6. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Lessor or Agent under this Deed of Trust shall be given as provided in Paragraph
7.01 of the Participation Agreement.
6.02. Waivers; Amendments. Any term, covenant, agreement or condition of
this Deed of Trust may be amended or waived only as provided in the

hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other further exercise
thereof or of any other right. Unless otherwise specified in any such waiver or
consent, a waiver or consent given hereunder shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
6.03. Successors and Assigns. This Deed of Trust shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Lessor Parties and their permitted successors and
assigns; provided, however, that the Lessor Parties shall not sell, assign or
delegate their respective rights and obligations hereunder except as provided in
the Participation Agreement.
6.04. No Third Party Rights. Nothing expressed in or to be implied from
this Deed of Trust is intended to give, or shall be construed to give, any
Person, other than the Lessor Parties
J-8
265
and their permitted successors and assigns, any benefit or legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under or by virtue of this Deed of Trust or under or by
virtue of any provision herein.
6.05. Partial Invalidity. If at any time any provision of this Deed of
Trust is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the
law or any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Deed of Trust nor the legality, validity or
enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction shall
in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
6.06. Governing Law. This Deed of Trust shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of California without reference to
conflicts of law rules.
6.07. Counterparts. This Deed of Trust may be executed in any number of

claiming through or under Lessor, and for all parties who may acquire a lien on
or interest in the Property, hereby waives all rights to have the Property
and/or any other property which is now or later may be security for any Secured
Obligation marshalled upon any foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or on a
foreclosure of any other security for any of the Secured Obligations.

respect to any Lessor Collateral.
(b) Lessor shall not sell, transfer or assign any of its right,
title or interest in the Lessor Collateral to any Person (other than
Agent), whether by way of Lien or otherwise.
(c) Without prompt written notice to Agent, Lessor shall not
change Lessor's name or chief executive office.
SECTION 4. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF AGENT.
4.01. Authorized Action by Agent. Lessor hereby irrevocably appoints Agent
as its attorney-in-fact and agrees that Agent may perform (but Agent shall not
be obligated to and shall incur no liability to Lessor or any third party for
failure so to do) any act which Lessor is obligated by this Agreement to
perform, and to exercise such rights and powers as Lessor might exercise with
respect to the Lessor Collateral, including, without limitation, the right to
(a) collect by legal proceedings or otherwise and endorse, receive and receipt
for all dividends, interest, payments, proceeds and other sums and property now
or hereafter payable on or on account of the Lessor Collateral; (b) enter into
any extension, reorganization, deposit, merger, consolidation or other agreement
pertaining to, or deposit, surrender, accept, hold or apply other property in
exchange for the Lessor Collateral; (c) insure, process, preserve and enforce
the Lessor Collateral; (d) make any compromise or settlement, and take any
action it deems advisable, with respect to the Lessor Collateral; (e) pay any
Indebtedness of Lessor relating to the Lessor Collateral; and (f) execute UCC
financing statements. Lessor agrees that such care as Agent gives to the
safekeeping of its own property of like kind shall constitute reasonable care of
the Lessor Collateral when in Agent's possession; provided, however, that Agent
shall not be required to make any presentment, demand or protest, or give any
notice and need not take any action to preserve any rights against any prior
party or any other Person in connection with the Lessor Obligations or with
respect to the Lessor Collateral.
4.02. Other Rights and Remedies Upon Default. In addition to all other
rights and remedies granted to Agent by this Agreement and the other Operative
Documents, the UCC and other applicable Governmental Rules, Agent may, if Lessor
fails to perform any of the Lessor Obligations, exercise any one or more of the
following rights and remedies: (a) collect, receive, appropriate or realize upon
the Lessor Collateral or otherwise foreclose or enforce Agent's security
interests in any or all Lessor Collateral in any manner permitted by applicable
Governmental Rules or in this Security Agreement; (b) notify Lessee to make any
or all
K-3
273
payments to be made by Lessee under the Operative Documents to Agent; (c) sell
or otherwise dispose of any or all Lessor Collateral at one or more public or
private sales, whether or not such Lessor Collateral is present at the place of
sale, for cash or credit or future delivery, on such terms and in such manner as
Agent may determine; (d) require Lessor to assemble the Lessor Collateral and
make it available to Agent at a place to be designated by Agent; and (e) prior
to the disposition of the Lessor Collateral, store, process, repair or
recondition any Lessor Collateral consisting of goods, perform any obligations
and enforce any rights of Lessor under any Operative Documents or otherwise
prepare and preserve Lessor Collateral for disposition in any manner and to the
extent Agent deems appropriate. In any case where notice of any sale or
disposition of any Lessor Collateral is required, Lessor hereby agrees that
thirty (30) days notice of such sale or disposition is reasonable.
SECTION 5. MISCELLANEOUS.
5.01. Notices. Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices,
requests, demands, consents, instructions or other communications to or upon
Lessor or Agent under this Agreement shall be given as provided in Paragraph
7.01 of the Participation Agreement.
5.02. Waivers; Amendments. Any term, covenant, agreement or condition of
this Agreement may be amended or waived only as provided in the Participation
Agreement. No failure or delay by Agent in exercising any right hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right preclude any other further exercise thereof
or of any other right. Unless otherwise specified in any such waiver or consent,
a waiver or consent given hereunder shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
5.03. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Lessor Parties and their permitted successors and
assigns; provided, however, that the Lessor Parties shall not sell, assign or
delegate their respective rights and obligations hereunder except as provided in
the Participation Agreement.
5.04. No Third Party Rights. Nothing expressed in or to be implied from
this Agreement is intended to give, or shall be construed to give, any Person,
other than the Lessor Parties and their permitted successors and assigns, any
benefit or legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by virtue of this
Agreement or under or by virtue of any provision herein.
5.05. Partial Invalidity. If at any time any provision of this Agreement
is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the law or
any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Agreement nor the legality, validity or
enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction shall
in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
5.06. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of California without reference to
conflicts of law rules.
5.07. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of

TRACT 3 GROUND LEASE AGREEMENT
FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED
GROUND LEASE AGREEMENT
THIS FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED GROUND LEASE AGREEMENT (this "Ground
Lease" herein), dated as of November 12, 1997, is entered into by and between:
(1) KLA-TENCOR CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("Ground
Lessor"); and
(2) LEASE PLAN U.S.A., INC., a Georgia corporation ("Ground
Lessee").
RECITALS
A. Ground Lessor has requested Ground Lessee and the financial
institutions which are "Participants" under the Participation Agreement referred
to in Recital B below (such financial institutions to be referred to
collectively as the "Participants") to provide to Ground Lessor a certain lease
facility. Pursuant to such facility:
(1) Ground Lessee would (a) acquire certain property designated by
Ground Lessor (either through purchase or lease), (b) lease to Ground
Lessor such property and certain other property currently held by Ground
Lessee, (c) appoint Ground Lessor as Ground Lessee's agent to make certain
improvements to a portion of such property, (d) make advances to finance
such improvements and to pay certain related expenses, and (e) grant to
Ground Lessor the right to purchase such property; and
(2) The Participants would participate in such lease facility by
(a) funding the purchase prices and other advances to be made by Ground
Lessee and (b) acquiring participation interests in the rental and certain
other payments to be made by Ground Lessor.
B. Pursuant to a Participation Agreement dated of even date herewith
(the "Participation Agreement") among Ground Lessor, Ground Lessee, the
Participants and ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as agent for the Participants (in such
capacity, "Agent"), Ground Lessee and the Participants have agreed to provide
such lease facility upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
therein, including without limitation the execution and delivery of this Ground
Lease.
C. Ground Lessor is the owner of certain real property located in the
City of San Xxxx, County of Santa Xxxxx, State of California, commonly know as
000 Xxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, which real property (the "Land") is more
fully described in Exhibit A.
M-1
287
D. Ground Lessor, formerly known as KLA Instruments Corporation, a
Delaware corporation, and BNP Leasing Corporation, a Delaware corporation,
previously entered into that certain Ground Lease Agreement effective as of June
5, 1995, with respect to the Land (the "Original Lease").
E. BNP Leasing Corporation, a Delaware corporation, has assigned its
interest under the Original Lease to Ground Lessee by that certain Assignment of
Ground Lease, dated as of the date hereof.
F. Ground Lessor and Ground Lessee now desire to amend and restate the
Original Lease in its entirety, as more fully set forth herein.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above Recitals and the
mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
SECTION 10. INTERPRETATION.
10.01. Definitions. Unless otherwise indicated in this Ground Lease, each
term set forth in Schedule 1.01 to the Participation Agreement, when used in
this Ground Lease, shall have the respective meaning given to that term in such
Schedule 1.01 or in the provision of this Ground Lease or other document,
instrument or agreement referenced in such Schedule 1.01.
10.02. Rules of Construction. Unless otherwise indicated in this Ground
Lease, the rules of construction set forth in Schedule 1.02 to the Participation
Agreement shall apply to this Ground Lease.
SECTION 11. BASIC PROVISIONS.
11.01. Lease of the Property. Ground Lessor agrees to lease to Ground
Lessee and Ground Lessee agrees to lease from Ground Lessor the following
property, if any (the "Leased Property"), to the extent of Ground Lessor's
estate, right, title and interest therein, thereto or thereunder:
(a) All lots, pieces, tracts and parcels of the Land together with
such additional parcels of real property as may be added to the Land from
time to time during the term hereof;
(b) All Improvements now or hereafter located on the Land;
(c) All Appurtenant Rights belonging, relating or pertaining to
any of the Land or Improvements;
(d) All Related Goods, Related Permits and Related Agreements
related to any of the foregoing Land, Improvements or Appurtenant Rights;
and
M-2
288
(e) All accessions and accretions to and replacements and
substitutions for the foregoing.
11.02. Term. The term of this Ground Lease (herein called the "Term")
shall commence on and include the effective date hereof and end on November 1,
2031. However, subject to the prior approval of any lender or other beneficiary
of a Leasehold Mortgage (defined below) (a "Leasehold Mortgagee"), Ground Lessee
shall have the right to terminate this Ground Lease by giving notice to Ground
Lessor stating that Ground Lessee unequivocally elects to terminate effective as
of a date specified in such notice which may be any date more than thirty days
after the notice and after the expiration or termination of the Lease Agreement
pursuant to its terms. Further, Ground Lessor shall have an option (the "Ground
Lessor's Termination Option") to terminate this Ground Lease on and subject to
the following terms and conditions:
(a) To exercise the Ground Lessor's Termination Option, Ground
Lessor must provide Ground Lessee with an unconditional notice thereof
(the "Ground Lessor's Termination Notice") which specifies a date (the
"Qualifying Termination Date"), which date shall coincide with Ground
Lessor or an Assignee Purchaser's purchase of the Leased Property pursuant
to Section 2 of the Purchase Agreement, as the effective date of the
termination of this Ground Lease and which sets forth Ground Lessor's
calculation of the Outstanding Lease Amount as of such date. Any notice
specifying or purporting to establish an effective date of termination
which is not a Qualifying Termination Date shall not be effective as a
Ground Lessor's Termination Notice hereunder. Any Ground Lessor's
Termination Notice will be irrevocable.
(b) After giving any Ground Lessor's Termination Notice, Ground
Lessor must on or before the effective date of the termination specified
therein, pay to Ground Lessee in good funds the Outstanding Lease Amount.
Ground Lessor's payment of the Outstanding Lease Amount shall be a
condition precedent to the effectiveness of any early termination of this
Ground Lease by Ground Lessor. Time is of the essence as to such payment.
(c) At any time after the Expiration Date of the Lease Agreement,
Ground Lessee may provide a notice to Ground Lessor (a "FOCB Notice")
explaining that, unless Ground Lessor provides a Ground Lessor's
Termination Notice within thirty days after the FOCB Notice is sent in
accordance with the notice provisions hereof, the Ground Lessor's
Termination Option will expire. Unless Ground Lessor does in fact provide
an effective Ground Lessor's Termination Notice within thirty days after
any such FOCB Notice is sent to Ground Lessor by Ground Lessee in
accordance with the notice provisions hereof, the Ground Lessor's
Termination Option will expire. Time is of the essence as to the giving of
any Ground Lessor's Termination Notice required to prevent an expiration
of the Ground Lessor's Termination Option; however, if during the thirty
day period specified above in this subparagraph Ground Lessor is delayed
in providing any Ground Lessor's Termination Notice because of any
automatic stay or similar restraint imposed in any bankruptcy or
insolvency proceedings wherein Ground Lessee is the debtor, then such
thirty day period will be extended by a time equal to such delay.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Ground Lessor loses its
rights to acquire Ground Lessee's interest in the Leased Property under the
Purchase Agreement before the effective date of any termination of this
Ground Lease, and if Ground Lessor would not have lost such right but for
Ground Lessor's failure to cure a breach by Ground Lessor of the Purchase
M-3
289
Agreement within any applicable grace period provided therein, then Ground
Lessor shall no longer have any right whatsoever to terminate this Ground
Lease pursuant to this Paragraph 2.02, and any prior Ground Lessor's
Termination Notice given by Ground Lessor shall become ineffective for
purposes of this Ground Lease.
11.03. Rent. Ground Lessee has paid to Ground Lessor the sum of Ten and
no/100 dollars ($10.00) as prepaid rent for the period beginning on the
effective date and ending on October 31, 2002. The receipt and sufficiency of
such prepaid rent is hereby acknowledged by Ground Lessor. On each anniversary
of the first Business Day of November, 2002 (the "Rent Commencement Date"),
Ground Lessee shall pay Ground Lessor an annual installment of rent in arrears
(herein called "Rent"), in currency that at the time of payment is legal tender
for public and private debts in the United States of America. Each such
installment of Rent shall equal the annual fair rental value of unimproved land
of equivalent size and location to the Land, without considering any value added
by the Improvements, as determined in accordance with Exhibit B (the "Fair
Rental Value").
11.04. Receipt and Application of Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds. All
insurance and condemnation proceeds payable with respect to any damage to or
taking of the Leased Property shall be payable to and become the property of the
Ground Lessee; provided, however, Ground Lessor shall be entitled to receive
condemnation proceeds awarded for the value of Ground Lessor's remainder
interest in the Land exclusive of the Improvements. Ground Lessee is authorized
to take all action necessary on behalf of both Ground Lessee and Ground Lessor
to collect insurance and condemnation proceeds.
11.05. No Lease Termination. Except as expressly provided herein, this
Ground Lease shall not terminate, nor shall Ground Lessor have any right to
terminate this Ground Lease nor shall the obligations of Ground Lessor under
this Ground Lease be excused, for any reason whatsoever, including without
limitation any of the following: (i) any damage to or the destruction of all or
any part of the Leased Property from whatever cause, (ii) the taking of the
Leased Property or any portion thereof by eminent domain or otherwise for any
reason, (iii) any default on the part of the Ground Lessee under this Ground
Lease or under any other agreement to which Ground Lessor and Ground Lessee are
parties, (iv) any other cause whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing,
any existing or future law to the contrary notwithstanding. It is the intention
of the parties hereto that the obligations of Ground Lessor hereunder shall be
separate and independent of the covenants and agreements of Ground Lessee.
However, nothing in this Paragraph 2.05 shall be construed as a waiver by Ground
Lessor of any right Ground Lessor may have at law or in equity to recover
monetary damages for any default under this Ground Lease.
11.06. Purchase Agreement and Lease Agreement. Nothing contained in this
Ground Lease shall limit, modify or otherwise affect any of Ground Lessor's or
Ground Lessee's respective rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement
or Lease Agreement, which rights and obligations are intended to be separate,
independent and in addition to, and not in lieu of, the obligations established
by this Ground Lease; provided, however, that if Ground Lessor exercises the
Ground Lessor's Termination Option, Ground Lessee shall have no further
obligations under the Purchase Agreement or the Lease Agreement. In the event of
any inconsistency between the terms and provisions of the Purchase Agreement or
Lease Agreement and the terms and provisions of this Ground Lease, the terms and
provisions of the Purchase Agreement or Lease Agreement (as the case may be)
shall control.
M-4
290
11.07. Use of Leased Property. Subject to the encumbrances and other
matters affecting the Leased Property that are set forth in Exhibit C attached
hereto and made a part hereof (the "Permitted Encumbrances") and the terms
hereof, Ground Lessee may use and occupy the Leased Property for any lawful
purpose. If a use of the Leased Property by Ground Lessee for any lawful purpose
or any new Improvements or removal or modifications of Improvements proposed by
Ground Lessee would violate any Permitted Encumbrance unless Ground Lessor, as
an owner of adjacent property or otherwise, gave its consent or approval thereto
or agreed to join in a modification of such Permitted Encumbrance, then Ground
Lessor shall give such consent or approval or join in such modification.
Further, Ground Lessor's obligation under the preceding sentence shall be
binding upon any successor or assign of Ground Lessor with respect to the
Permitted Encumbrances. In any event, Ground Lessee may at any time during the
Term remove the Improvements from the Leased Property without the consent of
Ground Lessor and without obligation to compensate Ground Lessor or construct
other Improvements on the Land.
11.08. Assignment and Subletting. Ground Lessor's consent shall not be
required for any assignment or subletting by Ground Lessee.
11.09. Estoppel Certificate. Ground Lessor shall from time to time, within
ten days after receipt of written request by Ground Lessee, deliver a statement
in writing certifying:
(a) that this Ground Lease is unmodified and in full force and
effect (or if modified that this Ground Lease as so modified is in full
force and effect);
(b) that to the knowledge of Ground Lessor, Ground Lessee has not
previously assigned or hypothecated its rights or interests under this
Ground Lease, except as is described in such statement with as much
specificity as Ground Lessor is able to provide;
(c) the term of this Ground Lease and the Rent and any additional
charges;
(d) that Ground Lessee is not in default under any provision of
this Ground Lease (or if in default, the nature thereof in detail) and a
statement as to any outstanding obligations on the part of Ground Lessor
or Ground Lessee; and
(e) such other matters as are requested by Ground Lessee.
GROUND LESSOR'S FAILURE TO DELIVER SUCH STATEMENT WITHIN SUCH TIME SHALL BE
CONCLUSIVE UPON GROUND LESSEE (i) THAT THIS GROUND LEASE IS IN FULL FORCE AND
EFFECT, WITHOUT MODIFICATION EXCEPT AS MAY BE REPRESENTED BY GROUND LESSEE, (ii)
THAT THERE ARE NO UNCURED DEFAULTS IN GROUND LESSEE'S PERFORMANCE HEREUNDER.

11.10. Leasehold Mortgages.
(a) By any mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement or
assignment executed by Ground Lessee to secure an obligation to repay
borrowed money or other voluntary obligations, which covers Ground
Lessee's leasehold estate hereunder or any part thereof or any rents or
other charges to be paid to Ground Lessee pursuant to any sublease (a
"Leasehold Mortgage"), Ground Lessee may encumber Ground Lessee's
leasehold estate in the Leased Property created by this Ground Lease, as
well as Ground Lessee's rights and interests in buildings, fixtures,
equipment and improvements situated thereon and rents, issues, profits,
revenues and other income to be derived by Ground Lessee therefrom.
However, so long as the Lease Agreement remains in effect, any Leasehold
Mortgage will be permitted hereunder only if permitted pursuant to the
Lease Agreement.
(b) Any Leasehold Mortgagee or other party, including any
corporation formed by a Leasehold Mortgagee, may become the legal owner
and holder of the leasehold estate created by this Ground Lease, and of
the improvements, equipment, fixtures and other property assigned as
additional security pursuant to a Leasehold Mortgage, by foreclosure of a
Leasehold Mortgage or as a result of the assignment or conveyance in lieu
of foreclosure. Further, any such Leasehold Mortgagee or other party may
itself, after becoming the legal owner and holder of the leasehold estate
created by this Ground Lease, or of any improvements, equipment, fixtures
and other property assigned as additional security pursuant to a Leasehold
Mortgage, convey or pledge the same without the consent of Ground Lessor.
(c) Ground Lessor shall serve notice of any default by Ground
Lessee hereunder upon any Leasehold Mortgagee. No notice of a default by
Ground Lessee shall be deemed effective until it is so served. Any
Leasehold Mortgagee shall have the right to correct or cure any such
default within the same period of time after receipt of such notice as is
given to Ground Lessee under this Ground Lease to correct or cure
defaults, plus an additional period of thirty days thereafter. Ground
Lessor will accept performance by any Leasehold Mortgagee of any covenant,
condition or agreement on Ground Lessee's part to be performed hereunder
with the same force and effect as though performed by Ground Lessee.
(d) If this Ground Lease should terminate by reason of a
disaffirmance or rejection of this Ground Lease by Ground Lessee or any
receiver, liquidator or trustee for the property of Ground Lessee, or by
any department of the city, state or federal government which had taken
possession of the business or property of Ground Lessee by reason of the
insolvency or alleged insolvency of Ground Lessee, then:
(i) Ground Lessor shall give notice thereof to each
Leasehold Mortgagee; and upon request of any Leasehold Mortgagee
made within sixty days after Ground Lessor has given such notice,
Ground Lessor shall enter into a new ground lease of the Leased
Property with such Leasehold Mortgagee for the remainder of the
Term, at the same Rent and on the same terms and conditions as
contained in this Ground Lease.
(ii) In connection with any such new ground lease, Ground
Lessor shall also convey to the Leasehold Mortgagee by quitclaim
deed any interest of Ground Lessor in and to the Improvements
included in the Leased Property.
M-6
292
(iii) The estate of the Leasehold Mortgagee, as lessee under
the new lease, shall have priority equal to the estate of Ground
Lessee hereunder. That is, there shall be no charge, lien or burden
upon the Leased Property prior to or superior to the estate granted
by such new lease which was not prior to or superior to the estate
of Ground Lessee under this Ground Lease as of the date immediately
preceding the termination of this Ground Lease. To the extent that
the Lease Agreement and or the Purchase Agreement are in effect at
the time of execution of such new ground lease, such new ground
lease shall be made subject to the Lease Agreement and the Purchase
Agreement.
(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Ground Lessor shall
receive requests to enter into a new ground lease from more than one
Leasehold Mortgagee, Ground Lessor shall be required to enter into
only one new ground lease, and the new ground lease shall be to the
requesting Leasehold Mortgagee who holds the highest priority lien
or interest in the Ground Lessee's leasehold estate in the Land. If
the liens or security interests of two or more such requesting
Leasehold Mortgagees which shared the highest priority just prior to
the termination of this Ground Lease, the new ground lease shall
name all such Leasehold Mortgagees as co-tenants thereunder.
(e) If the Ground Lessee has agreed with any Leasehold Mortgagee
that such Leasehold Mortgagee's consent will be required to any
modification or early termination of this Ground Lease by Ground Lessee,
and if Ground Lessor has been notified of such agreement, such consent
will be required.
(f) No Leasehold Mortgagee will assume any liability under this
Ground Lease either by virtue of its Leasehold Mortgage or by any
subsequent receipt or collection of rents or profits generated from the
Leased Property, unless and until the Leasehold Mortgagee acquires Ground
Lessee's leasehold estate in the Leased Property at foreclosure or by deed
in lieu of foreclosure.
(g) Although the foregoing provisions concerning Leasehold
Mortgages and Leasehold Mortgagees will be self operative, Ground Lessor
agrees to include, in addition to the items specified in Paragraph 2.09,
confirmation of the foregoing in any statement provided to a Leasehold
Mortgagee or prospective Leasehold Mortgagee pursuant to Paragraph 2.09.

and does not violate or contravene any law, order, decree, rule or regulation to
which Ground Lessor is subject, and such execution, delivery and performance by

such further period as shall be necessary for the curing thereof with

Lessor's sole and exclusive remedy shall be to xxx Ground Lessee for the

EXHIBIT B
DETERMINATION OF FAIR RENTAL VALUE
Each annual installment of Rent will equal the Fair Rental Value as of the
Rent Commencement Date, unless reduced to a lesser amount equal to the Fair
Rental Value on a subsequent date selected by Ground Lessee. By notice to Ground
Lessor, Ground Lessee may from time to time (but no more often than once in any
12 month period), designate a new date within sixty days of the date of such
notice as an alternative to the Rent Commencement Date for purposes of
determining Fair Rental Value, in which case installments of Rent due after such
alternative date shall equal the Fair Rental Value on such alternative date
unless and until another alternative date is later designated. However, in no
event will Rent ever be increased above the Fair Rental Value on the Rent
Commencement Date.
If Ground Lessor and Ground Lessee have not agreed upon Fair Rental Value
as of the Rent Commencement Date within 180 days after the Rent Commencement
Date, or if they do not agree upon Fair Rental Value as of an alternative date
within thirty days from the date of a notice from Ground Lessee designating such
alternative date as described above, then Fair Rental Value will be determined
as follows (but, again, in no event shall Rent be adjusted above the Fair Rental
Value on the Rent Commencement Date):
(a) Ground Lessor and Ground Lessee shall each appoint a real
estate appraiser who is familiar with rental values for properties in the
vicinity of the Land. Each party will make the appointment no later than
10 days after receipt of notice from the other party that the appraisal
process described in this paragraph has been invoked. The agreement of the
two appraisers as to Fair Rental Value will be binding upon Ground Lessor
and Ground Lessee. If the two appraisers cannot agree upon the Fair Rental
Value within 10 days following their appointment, they shall within
another 10 days agree upon a third real estate appraiser. Immediately
thereafter, each of the first two appraisers will submit his best estimate
of the appropriate Fair Rental Value (together with a written report
supporting such estimate) to the third appraiser and the third appraiser
will choose between the two estimates. The estimate of Fair Rental Value
chosen by the third appraiser as the closest to the prevailing monthly
fair rental value will be binding upon Ground Lessor and Ground Lessee.
Notification in writing of this estimate shall be made to Ground Lessor
and Ground Lessee within 15 days following the selection of the third
appraiser.
(b) If appraisers must be selected under the procedure set out
above and either Ground Lessee or Ground Lessor fails to appoint an
appraiser or fails to notify the other party of such appointment within 7
days after receipt of notice that the prescribed time for appointing the
appraisers has passed, then the other party's appraiser will determine the
Fair Rental Value. All appraisers selected for the appraisal process set
out in this paragraph will be disinterested, reputable, qualified real
estate appraisers with the designation of MAI or equivalent and with at
least 5 years experience in appraising properties comparable to the Land.
M-14
300
(c) If a third appraiser must be chosen under the procedure set
out above, he or she will be chosen on the basis of objectivity and
competence, not on the basis of his relationship with the other appraisers
or the parties to this Ground Lease, and the first two appraisers will be
so advised. Although the first two appraisers will be instructed to
attempt in good faith to agree upon the third appraiser, if for any reason
they cannot agree within the prescribed time, either Ground Lessor and
Ground Lessee may require the first two appraisers to immediately submit
its top choice for the third appraiser to the then highest ranking officer
of the San Francisco Bar Association who will agree to help and who has no
attorney/client or other significant relationship to either Ground Lessor
or Ground Lessee. Such officer will have complete discretion to select the
most objective and competent third appraiser from between the choice of
each of the first two appraisers, and will do so within 20 days after such
choices are submitted to him.
(d) Either Ground Lessor or Ground Lessee may notify the appraiser
selected by the other party to demand the submission of an estimate of
Fair Rental Value or a choice of a third appraiser as required under the
procedure described above; and if the submission of such an estimate or
choice is required but the other party's appraiser fails to comply with
the demand within 15 days after receipt of such notice, then the Fair
Rental Value or choice of the third appraiser, as the case may be,
selected by the other appraiser (i.e., the notifying party's appraiser)
will be binding upon Ground Lessor and Ground Lessee.
(e) Ground Lessor and Ground Lessee shall each bear the expense of
the appraiser appointed by it, and the expense of the third appraiser and
of any officer of the San Francisco Bar Association who participates in
the appraisal process described above will be shared equally by Ground
Lessor and Ground Lessee.
Once determined in accordance with this Exhibit, the annual Rent shall
remain the same until Ground Lessee elects to change Rent to the Fair Rental
Value as of the date other than the Rent Commencement Date as provided above.

EXHIBIT D
CONTINGENT PURCHASE OPTION
Subject to the terms of this Exhibit D, Ground Lessee shall have an option
(the "Option") to buy the Ground Lessor's interest in the Leased Property at any
time during the term of this Ground Lease after (but only after) any breach by
Ground Lessor under the Purchase Agreement, provided Ground Lessor does not cure
the breach within any time permitted for cure by the express provisions of the
Purchase Agreement, for a purchase price (the "Option Price") to Ground Lessor
equal to fair market value.
For the purposes of this Exhibit, "fair market value" means (and all
appraisers and other persons involved in the determination of the Option Price
will be so advised) the price that would be agreed upon between a willing buyer,
but under no compulsion to buy, and a willing seller, but under no compulsion to
sell, for unimproved land comparable in size and location to the Land, exclusive
of any Improvements, at the time of Ground Lessee's exercise of the Option and
taking into consideration the condition of the Land and the encumbrances
affecting the title to the Land at the time of the exercise of the Option.
If Ground Lessee exercises the Option, which Ground Lessee may do by
notifying Ground Lessor that Ground Lessee has elected to buy Ground Lessor's
interest in the Leased Property as provided herein, then:
(a) Upon Ground Lessee's tender of the Option Price to Ground
Lessor, Ground Lessor will convey good and marketable title to the fee
estate in the Leased Property to Ground Lessee by general warranty deed
subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances and, to the extent still in
force, the Lease Agreement and the Purchase Agreement.
(b) Ground Lessee's obligation to close the purchase shall be
subject to the following terms and conditions, all of which are for the
benefit of Ground Lessee: (1) Ground Lessee shall have been furnished with
evidence satisfactory to Ground Lessee that Ground Lessor can convey title
as required by the preceding subparagraph; (2) nothing shall have occurred
or been discovered after Ground Lessee exercised the Option that could
significantly and adversely affect title to the Leased Property or the
Ground Lessee's use thereof, (3) all of the representations of Ground
Lessor in this Ground Lease shall continue to be true as if made effective
on the date of the closing, and with respect to any such representations
which may be limited to the knowledge of Ground Lessor or any of Ground
Lessor's representatives, would continue to be true on the date of the
closing if all relevant facts and circumstances were known to Ground
Lessor and such representatives, and (4) Ground Lessee shall have been
tendered the deed and other documents which are described in this Exhibit
D as documents to be delivered to Ground Lessee at the closing of Ground
Lessee's purchase.
(c) Closing of the purchase will be scheduled on the first
Business Day following thirty days after the Option Price is established
in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Exhibit D, and prior
to closing Ground Lessee's occupancy of the Leased Property shall continue
to be subject to the terms and conditions of this Ground Lease, including
the terms setting forth Ground Lessee's obligation to pay Rent. Closing
M-17
303
shall take place at the offices of any title insurance company reasonably
selected by Ground Lessee to insure title under the title insurance policy
described below.
(d) Any transfer taxes or notices or registrations required by law
in connection with the sale contemplated by this Exhibit D will be the
responsibility of Ground Lessor.
(e) Ground Lessor will deliver a certificate of nonforeign status
to Ground Lessee at closing as needed to comply with the provisions of the
Foreign Investors Real Property Tax Act (FIRPTA) or any comparable
federal, state or local law in effect at the time.
(f) Ground Lessor will also pay for and deliver to Ground Lessee
at the closing an owner's title insurance policy in the full amount of the
Option Price, issued by a title insurance company designated by Ground
Lessee (or written confirmation from the title company that it is then
prepared to issue such a policy), and subject only to standard printed
exceptions which the title insurance company refuses to delete or modify
in a manner acceptable to Ground Lessee and to Permitted Encumbrances.
(g) Ground Lessor shall also deliver at the closing all other
documents or things reasonably required to be delivered to Ground Lessee
or by the title insurance company to evidence Ground Lessor's ability to
transfer the Leased Property to Ground Lessee.
If Ground Lessor and Ground Lessee do not otherwise agree upon the amount
of the Option Price within 20 days after Ground Lessee exercises the Option, the
Option Price shall be determined in accordance with the following procedure:
(i) Ground Lessor and Ground Lessee shall each appoint a
real estate appraiser who is familiar with properties in the
vicinity of the Land. Each party will make the appointment no later
than 10 days after receipt of notice from the other party that the
appraisal process described in this paragraph has been invoked. The
agreement of the two appraisers as to the Option Price will be
binding upon Ground Lessor and Ground Lessee. If the two appraisers
cannot agree upon the Option Price within 10 days following their
appointment, they shall within another 10 days agree upon a third
real estate appraiser. Immediately thereafter, each of the first two
appraisers will submit his best estimate of the appropriate Option
Price (together with a written report supporting such estimate) to
the third appraiser and the third appraiser will choose between the
two estimates. The estimate of Option Price chosen by the third
appraiser as the closest to the prevailing monthly fair market value
will be binding upon Ground Lessor and Ground Lessee. Notification
in writing of the Option Price shall be made to Ground Lessor and
Ground Lessee within 15 days following the selection of the third
appraiser.
(ii) If appraisers must be selected under the procedure set
out above and either Ground Lessee or Ground Lessor fails to appoint
an appraiser or fails to notify the other party of such appointment
within 7 days after receipt of notice that the prescribed time for
appointing the appraisers has passed, then the other
M-18
304
party's appraiser will determine the Option Price. All of the
appraisers selected for the appraisal process set out in this
paragraph will be disinterested, reputable, qualified real estate
appraisers with the designation of MAI or equivalent and with at
least 5 years experience in appraising properties comparable to the
Land.
(iii) If a third appraiser must be chosen under the procedure
set out above, he will be chosen on the basis of objectivity and
competence, not on the basis of his relationship with the other
appraisers or the parties to this Ground Lease, and the first two
appraisers will be so advised. Although the first two appraisers
will be instructed to attempt in good faith to agree upon the third
appraiser, if for any reason they cannot agree within the prescribed
time, either Ground Lessor and Ground Lessee may require the first
two appraisers to immediately submit its top choice for the third
appraiser to the then highest ranking officer of the San Francisco
Bar Association who will agree to help and who has no
attorney/client or other significant relationship to either Ground
Lessor or Ground Lessee. Such officer will have complete discretion
to select the most objective and competent third appraiser from
between the choice of each of the first two appraisers, and will do
so within 10 days after such choices are submitted to him.
(iv) Either Ground Lessor or Ground Lessee may notify the
appraiser selected by the other party to demand the submission of an

CONSTRUCTION AGENCY AGREEMENT
THIS CONSTRUCTION AGENCY AGREEMENT (this "Agreement" herein), dated
as of November 12, 1997 is entered into by and between:
(1) KLA-TENCOR CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation
("Lessee"); and
(2) LEASE PLAN U.S.A., INC., a Georgia corporation
("Lessor").
RECITALS
A. Lessee has requested Lessor and the financial institutions which
are "Participants" under the Participation Agreement referred to in Recital B
below (such financial institutions to be referred to collectively as the
"Participants") to provide to Lessee a certain lease facility. Pursuant to such
facility:
(1) Lessor would (a) acquire certain property designated by
Lessee (either through purchase or lease), (b) lease to Lessee such
property and certain other property currently held by Lessor, (c)
appoint Lessee as Lessor's agent to make certain improvements to a
portion of such property, (d) make advances to finance such
improvements and to pay certain related expenses, and (e) grant to
Lessee the right to purchase such property; and
(2) The Participants would participate in such lease
facility by (a) funding the purchase prices and other advances to be
made by Lessor and (b) acquiring participation interests in the
rental and certain other payments to be made by Lessee.
B. Pursuant to a Participation Agreement dated of even date herewith
(the "Participation Agreement") among Lessee, Lessor, the Participants and ABN
AMRO Bank N.V., as agent for the Participants (in such capacity, "Agent"),
Lessor and the Participants have agreed to provide such lease facility upon the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, including without
limitation the execution and delivery of this Agreement setting forth the terms
of Lessee's construction obligations.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above Recitals and the mutual
covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
313
SECTION 1. INTERPRETATION.
1.01. Definitions. Unless otherwise indicated in this Agreement or
any other Operative Document, each term set forth in Schedule 1.01 to the
Participation Agreement, when used in this Agreement or any other Operative
Document, shall have the respective meaning given to that term in such Schedule
1.01 or in the provision of this Agreement or other document, instrument or
agreement referenced in such Schedule 1.01.
1.02. Rules of Construction. Unless otherwise indicated in this
Agreement or any other Operative Document, the rules of construction set forth
in Schedule 1.02 to the Participation Agreement shall apply to this Agreement
and the other Operative Documents.
SECTION 2. APPOINTMENT; AUTHORITY.
2.01. Appointment. Lessor hereby appoints Lessee and Lessee hereby
agrees to act as Lessor's agent for the construction of the New Improvements to
the Tract 1 Property, the Tract 3 Property, the Tract 4 Property and the Tract 5
Property.
2.02. Scope of Authority. Lessee shall have the authority to perform
all acts expressly delegated to or undertaken by Lessee under this Agreement and
all other acts reasonably necessary to complete the construction of the New
Improvements in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, this Agreement,
the other Operative Documents, all applicable Governmental Rules and all
applicable Insurance Requirements; provided, however, that no Lessor Party shall
have any obligation to pay any fees, costs or expenses related to such
construction (except to the extent of Lessor's obligation to make, and the
Participants' obligations to fund, Advances pursuant to the Participation
Agreement) and Lessee shall have no authority to, and shall not, enter into any
agreement which would, directly or indirectly, require any Lessor Party to pay
any such fees, costs or expenses or otherwise impose upon any Lessor Party any
liability or obligation. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement
and the other Operative Documents, Lessee shall have sole management and control
over the construction means, methods, sequences and procedures with respect to
the construction of the New Improvements.
2.03. Delegation of Duties. Lessee may employ such architects,
engineers, contractors, consultants, agents, employees and other Persons as
Lessee determines are necessary or appropriate to construct the New Improvements
and perform its other obligations and duties hereunder and may delegate to such
Persons any or all of such obligations and duties; provided, however, that no
such employment or delegation shall limit or reduce in any way Lessee's
obligations and duties under this Agreement.
SECTION 3. LESSEE'S OBLIGATIONS AND DUTIES.
3.01. Plans and Specifications. Lessee shall deliver to Lessor, for
approval by Lessor and Agent, the Plans and Specifications for all new
improvements it elects to make to each Tract of Property. Once any Plans and
Specifications for any Tract of Property are so delivered and
2
314
approved by Lessor and Agent, Lessee shall not agree to or permit any revision,
amendment, supplementation or other modification to such Plans and
Specifications without the written consent of Lessor if such revision,
amendment, supplementation or modification (either alone or together with all
prior revisions, amendments, supplementations and modifications to all Plans and
Specifications for all of the Tracts of Property) is reasonably likely to:
(a) Cause the Acquisition Prices plus all other costs and
expenses of acquiring all of the Tracts of Property and constructing
all of the New Improvements to all the Tracts of Property in
accordance with this Agreement (including all Permitted Improvement
Costs and Permitted Transaction Expenses paid or to be paid with
Advances) to exceed the lesser of (i) the Total Commitment and (ii)
the sum of the most recent Expiration Date Appraisals for all of the
Tracts of Property (or, in the case of any Tract of Property for
which Lessee does not deliver an Expiration Date Appraisal, the
Closing Date Appraisal therefor) ;
(b) Make it difficult or impossible to Complete the
construction of all the New Improvements to such Tract of Property in
accordance with this Agreement on or prior to the Outside Completion
Date; or
(c) Cause the Fair Market Value of such Tract of Property
to be less than the most recent Expiration Date Appraisal for such
Tract of Property (or, in the case of any Tract of Property for which
Lessee does not deliver an Expiration Date Appraisal, the Closing
Date Appraisal therefor) or otherwise decrease in any material
amount.
Lessee shall notify Lessor promptly in writing of any revision, amendment,
supplementation or other modification to the Plans and Specifications.
3.02. Construction Agreements. Lessee has entered or shall, on a
timely basis, enter into such agreements with architects, engineers,
contractors, consultants, materialmen, suppliers, agents, employees and other
Persons as are necessary or appropriate to construct the New Improvements and
perform Lessee's other obligations and duties hereunder in connection therewith
(together with the Plans and Specifications, the "Construction Agreements").
Each Construction Agreement shall expressly permit the assignment of Lessee's
rights thereunder to Lessor without the consent of the other party(ies) to such
agreement. Upon Lessor's request, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor copies of any
or all Construction Agreements.
3.03. Permits, Approvals, Etc. Prior to the time they are required,
Lessee shall obtain from Governmental Authorities and other Persons all
licenses, approvals, authorizations, consents, permits, easements and
rights-of-way that are necessary for the construction of any New Improvements in
accordance with this Agreement. Upon Lessor's request, Lessee shall deliver to
Lessor copies of any or all such licenses, approvals, authorizations, consents,
permits, easements and rights-of-way.
3.04. Material and Supplies. Lessee shall obtain all materials and
supplies necessary to construct the New Improvements. Lessee shall cause all
such materials and supplies (a) to be purchased in a manner that will result in
the ownership thereof vesting unconditionally in Lessor,
3
315
free from all Liens (other than Liens that attach in favor of the materialmen or
subcontractors that supply and/or install such materials and supplies); (b) to
be stored at the applicable Tract of Land under adequate safeguards to minimize
the possibility of loss, theft, damage or commingling with other materials or
projects; and (c) to be covered by the insurance policies required under this
Agreement and the other Operative Documents. Upon Lessor's request, Lessee shall
deliver to Lessor copies of any contracts, bills of sale, statements, receipts,
vouchers or agreements for the materials and supplies used or to be used in the
construction of the New Improvements.
3.05 Construction.
(a) Manner. Lessee shall construct the New Improvements
(including all foundations and structural portions thereof; all
plumbing, heating, air conditioning and electrical systems; and all
water, sewer, electric, gas, telephone and drainage facilities) in a
good and workmanlike manner, free from any material defect in design
or construction, in accordance with the Plans and Specifications,
this Agreement, the other Operative Documents, all applicable
Governmental Rules and all applicable Insurance Requirements.
(b) Completion. Lessee shall Complete the construction of
the New Improvements to all Tracts of Property on which New
Improvements are to be constructed on or prior to the Outside

satisfied:

Property have been completed in accordance with this
Agreement, are in first class working condition and are
ready for occupancy and use as a facility as described in
clause (ii) under the heading for the applicable Tract of
Property in Schedule 4.01(s) to the Participation
Agreement. This shall include, without limiting the
generality of the preceding sentence, evidence that (A) all
utilities required to adequately service such New
Improvements for their intended use are available and
"tapped on" and hooked up pursuant to adequate permits
(including any that may be required under applicable
Environmental Laws) and (B) access to such New Improvements
for pedestrians and motor vehicles from publicly dedicated
streets and public highways are available.
(ii) Lessee shall have furnished to Lessor each
of the following:
(A) A certificate of Lessee in the form

(B) A certificate of an architect
acceptable to Lessor in the form of Exhibit B,
duly executed by such architect, together with
copies of each of the documents referred to
therein;
4
316
(C) A date-down endorsement to or
reissued title insurance policies or binders
delivered by Lessee pursuant to Paragraph 3.02
and Schedule 3.02 of the Participation Agreement;
(D) Copies of all mechanic's or
materialman's lien waivers and releases as
required by Lessor; and
(E) Certificate of final occupancy
issued by the appropriate Governmental Authority.

policies of casualty and liability insurance as provided in Paragraph 3.03 of
the Lease Agreement.
3.07. Fees, Costs and Expenses.

costs and expenses of architects, engineers, contractors,
materialmen, suppliers, consultants, agents, employees and other
Persons which provide services, materials or supplies in connection
with the construction of the New Improvements and all other fees,
costs and expenses related to such construction.
(c) No Lessee Fee. Lessee shall not be entitled to any fee
for the performance of its obligations and duties hereunder or any
other compensation in connection with this Agreement.
3.08. Books and Records. Lessee shall maintain accurate books and
records, in reasonable detail, relating to the construction of the New
Improvements and shall permit Lessor to inspect the same and make copies
thereof, at Lessee's expense, upon reasonable notice to Lessee.

4.02. Waivers; Amendments. Any term, covenant, agreement or condition
of this Agreement may be amended or waived only as provided in the Participation
Agreement. No failure or delay by any Lessor Party in exercising any right

single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other further exercise
thereof or of any other right. Unless otherwise specified in any such waiver or
consent, a waiver or consent given hereunder shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
4.03. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the Lessor Parties and Lessee and their permitted
successors and assigns; provided, however, that the Lessor Parties and Lessee
shall not sell, assign or delegate their respective rights and obligations
hereunder except as provided in the Participation Agreement.
4.04. No Third Party Rights. Nothing expressed in or to be implied
from this Agreement is intended to give, or shall be construed to give, any
Person, other than the Lessor Parties and Lessee and their permitted successors
and assigns, any benefit or legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or
by virtue of this Agreement or under or by virtue of any provision herein.
4.05. Partial Invalidity. If at any time any provision of this
Agreement is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under
the law or any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of
the remaining provisions of this Agreement nor the legality, validity or
enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction shall
in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

4.07. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
identical counterparts, any set of which signed by all the parties hereto shall
be deemed to constitute a complete, executed original for all purposes.
4.08. Nature of Lessee's Obligations.
(a) Independent Obligation. The obligation of Lessee to
construct the New Improvements pursuant to this Agreement and the
other Operative Documents and to perform the other Lessee Obligations
are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable obligations which are
separate and independent of the obligations of the Lessor Parties
under this Agreement and the other Operative Documents and all other
events and circumstances, including the events and circumstances set

(b) No Termination or Abatement. This Agreement and the
other Operative Documents and Lessee's obligation to construct the

occurrence or existence of any event or circumstance, including
any event or circumstance set forth in Subparagraph 4.08(c).
(c) Full Payment and Performance. Lessee shall perform all
of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Operative

Requirement; (ix) any failure by any Lessor Party to perform any of
its obligations under this Agreement or any other Operative Document;
or (x) the exercise by any Lessor Party of any of its remedies under
this Agreement or any other Operative Document; provided, however,
that (A) Lessor shall have no obligation to continue constructing the
New Improvements at any time the Lessor Parties are refusing to make
any Advance in violation of the Participation Agreement and (B) this
Paragraph 4.08 shall not abrogate any right which Lessee may have to

329
4.03. Damages; Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds.
(a) Lessor shall give Agent prompt written notice of the
occurrence of any casualty affecting, or the institution of any
proceedings for eminent domain or for the condemnation of, the Property
or any portion thereof. Agent may participate in any such claims or
proceedings, and Agent is hereby authorized, in its own name or in
Lessor's name, to adjust any loss covered by insurance or any
condemnation claim or cause of action, and to settle or compromise any
claim or cause of action in connection therewith, and Lessor shall from
time to time deliver to Agent any and all further assignments and other
instruments required to permit such participation. The provisions
regarding the adjustment of any loss covered by insurance or any
condemnation claim or cause of action, and to settlement or compromise
of any claim or cause of action in connection therewith provided in this
Section 4.03(a) are subject to the adjustment, settlement and compromise
provisions set forth in the Lease Agreement. In the event of any
conflict, the adjustment, settlement and compromise provisions as
provided in the Lease Agreement shall govern.
(b) The following rights, claims and amounts are hereby
absolutely and irrevocably assigned to and shall be paid to Agent: (i)
all awards of damages and all other compensation payable directly or
indirectly by reason of a condemnation or proposed condemnation for

the Property; (ii) all other claims and awards for damages to or
decrease in value of all or any part of, or any interest in, the

interest which may accrue on any of the foregoing (collectively, "Loss
Proceeds"). The provisions regarding Loss Proceeds provided in this
Section 4.03(b) are subject to the insurance and condemnation provisions
set forth in the Lease Agreement. In the event of any conflict, the
insurance and condemnation provisions as provided in the Lease Agreement
shall govern.
4.04. Acceptance of Trust; Powers and Duties of Trustee. Trustee accepts
this trust when this Deed of Trust is recorded. From time to time upon written
request of Agent and presentation of this Deed of Trust, or a certified copy
thereof, for endorsement, and without affecting the personal liability of any
person for payment of any indebtedness or performance of any Secured Obligation,
Trustee may, without liability therefor and without notice: (a) reconvey all or
any part of the Property; (b) consent to the making of any map or plat thereof;
(c) join in granting any easement thereon; (d) join in any declaration of
covenants and restrictions; or (e) join in any extension agreement or any
agreement subordinating the lien or charge hereof. Except as may otherwise be
required by applicable law, Trustee or Agent may from time to time apply to any
court of competent jurisdiction for aid and direction in the execution of the
trusts hereunder and the enforcement of the rights and remedies available
hereunder, and Trustee or Agent may obtain orders or decrees directing or
confirming or approving acts in the execution of said trusts and the enforcement
of said remedies. Trustee has no obligation to notify any party of any pending
sale or any action or proceeding (including, without limitation, actions in
which Lessor, Agent or Trustee shall be a party) unless held or commenced and
maintained by Trustee under this Deed of Trust. Trustee shall not be obligated
to perform any act required of it
3
330
hereunder unless the performance of the act is requested in writing and Trustee
is reasonably indemnified and held harmless against loss, cost, liability and
expense.
4.05. Substitution of Trustee. From time to time, by a writing signed
and acknowledged by Agent and recorded in the Office of the Recorder of the
County in which the Property is situated, Agent may appoint another trustee to
act in the place and stead of Trustee or any successor. Such writing shall set
forth any information required by law. The recordation of such instrument of
substitution shall discharge Trustee herein named and shall appoint the new
trustee as the trustee hereunder with the same effect as if originally named
trustee herein. A writing recorded pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph
shall be conclusive proof of the proper substitution of such new trustee.
4.06. Partial and Full Reconveyance. Agent may release, for such
consideration or none, as it may require, any portion of the Property without,
as to the remainder of the Property, in any way impairing or affecting the lien,
security interest and priority herein provided to the Agent as to any other lien
holder or secured party. Further, upon satisfaction in full of the Secured
Obligations, or upon Agent's written request, and upon surrender of this Deed of
Trust or certified copy thereof and any note, instrument or instruments setting
forth all obligations secured hereby to Trustee for cancellation, Trustee shall
reconvey, without warranty, the Property or that portion thereof then held
hereunder. The recitals of any matters or facts in any reconveyance executed
hereunder shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. To the extent
permitted by law, the reconveyance may describe the grantee as "the person or
persons legally entitled thereto." Neither Agent nor Trustee shall have any duty
to determine the rights of persons claiming to be rightful grantees of any
reconveyance.
4.07. Releases, Extensions, Modifications and Additional Security. Agent
may, from time to time, release any person or entity from liability for the
payment or performance of any Secured Obligation, take any action or make any
agreement extending the maturity or otherwise altering the terms or increasing
the amount of any Secured Obligation, or accept additional security or release
all or a portion of the Property and other security for the Secured Obligations.
None of the foregoing actions shall release or impair the priority of the lien
of this Deed of Trust upon the Property.
SECTION 5. DEFAULT; REMEDIES.
5.01. Event of Default. The occurrence of any of the following events
shall be deemed an event of default ("Event of Default") hereunder:
(a) The occurrence of an Event of Default as defined in the
Lease Agreement; or
(b) Lessor shall fail to observe, perform or discharge any of
Lessor's Obligations, and (i) such failure shall remain uncured for
thirty (30) days after written notice thereof shall have been given to
Lessor by Agent, or (ii) if such failure is of such a nature that it
cannot be cured within such thirty (30) day period, Lessor shall fail to
commence to cure such failure within such thirty (30) day period or
shall fail to diligently prosecute such curative action thereafter.
4
331
5.02. Rights and Remedies. At any time after the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent and Trustee shall each have all of
the following rights and remedies:
(a) Appointment of a Receiver. To apply to any court of competent
jurisdiction for, and obtain appointment of, a receiver for the
Property.
(b) Specific Performance. To bring an action in any court of
competent jurisdiction to obtain specific enforcement of any of the
covenants or agreements of Lessor in this Deed of Trust or any of the
other Operative Documents.
(c) Collection of Issues and Profits. To collect Issues and
Profits.
(d) Protection of Property. To enter, take possession of, manage
and operate all or any part of the Property or take any other actions
which it reasonably determines are necessary to protect the Property and
the rights and remedies of Agent under this Deed of Trust and the other
Operative Documents, including (i) taking and possessing all of Lessor's
books and records; (ii) entering into, enforcing, modifying, or
canceling subleases on such terms and conditions as Agent may consider
proper; (iii) obtaining and evicting tenants; (iv) fixing or modifying
sublease rents; (v) collecting and receiving any payment of money owing
to Lessee; (vi) completing any unfinished Improvements; and/or (vii)
contracting for and making repairs and alterations.
(e) Uniform Commercial Code Remedies. To exercise any or all of
the remedies granted to a secured party under the California Uniform
Commercial Code.
(f) Judicial Foreclosure. To bring an action in any court of
competent jurisdiction to foreclose the security interest in the
Property granted to Agent by this Deed of Trust or any of the other
Operative Documents.
(g) Power of Sale. To cause some or all of the Property,
including any Personal Property Collateral, to be sold under a power of
sale or otherwise disposed of in any combination and in any manner
permitted by applicable Governmental Rules.
(i) Sales of Personal Property. Agent may dispose of any
Personal Property Collateral separately from the sale of Real
Property Collateral, in any manner permitted by Division 9 of the
California Uniform Commercial Code, including any public or
private sale, or in any manner permitted by any other applicable
Governmental Rule. Any proceeds of any such disposition shall not
cure any Event of Default or reinstate any Lessor Obligation for
purposes of Section 2924c of the California Civil Code. In
connection with any such sale or other disposition, Lessor agrees
that the following procedures constitute a commercially
reasonable sale:
(A) Agent shall mail written notice of the sale to
Lessor not later than thirty (30) days prior to such sale.
5
332
(B) Once per week during the three weeks
immediately preceding such sale, Agent will publish notice
of the sale in a local daily newspaper of general
circulation.
(C) Upon receipt of any written request, Agent will
make the Property available to any bona fide prospective
purchaser for inspection during reasonable business hours.
(D) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, Agent shall be under no obligation to consummate a
sale if, in its judgment, none of the offers received by
it equals the fair value of the Property offered for sale.
(E) If Agent so requests, Lessor shall assemble all
of the Personal Property Collateral and make it available
to Agent at the site of the Land. Regardless of any
provision of this Deed of Trust or any other Operative
Document, Agent shall not be considered to have accepted
any property other than cash or immediately available
funds in satisfaction of any Lessor Obligation, unless
Agent has given express written notice of its election of
that remedy in accordance with California Uniform
Commercial Code Section 9505.
The foregoing procedures do not constitute the only procedures
that may be commercially reasonable.
(ii) Agent's Sales of Real Property or Mixed Collateral.
Agent may choose to dispose of some or all of the Property which
consists solely of Real Property Collateral in any manner then
permitted by applicable Governmental Rules, including without
limitation a nonjudicial trustee's sale pursuant to California
Civil Code xx.xx. 2924 et seq. In its discretion, Agent may also
or alternatively choose to dispose of some or all of the
Property, in any combination consisting of both Real Property
Collateral and Personal Property Collateral, together in one sale
to be held in accordance with the law and procedures applicable
to real property, as permitted by Section 9501(4) of the
California Uniform Commercial Code. Lessor agrees that such a
sale of Personal Property Collateral together with Real Property
Collateral constitutes a commercially reasonable sale of the
Personal Property Collateral. (For purposes of this power of
sale, either a sale of Real Property Collateral alone, or a sale
of both Real Property Collateral and Personal Property Collateral
together in accordance with California Uniform Commercial Code
Section 9501(4), will sometimes be referred to as an "Agent's
Sale.")
(A) Before any Agent's Sale, Agent shall give such
notice of default and election to sell as may then be
required by applicable Governmental Rules.
6
333
(B) When all time periods then legally mandated
have expired, and after such notice of sale as may then be
legally required has been given, Agent shall sell the
property being sold at a public auction to be held at the
time and place specified in the notice of sale.
(C) Agent shall have no obligation to make demand
on Lessor before any Agent's Sale.
(D) From time to time in accordance with then
applicable law, Agent may postpone any Agent's Sale by
public announcement at the time and place noticed for that
sale.
(E) At any Agent's Sale, Agent shall sell to the
highest bidder at public auction for cash in lawful money
of the United States.
(F) Agent shall execute and deliver to the
purchaser(s) a deed or deeds conveying the Property being
sold without any covenant or warranty whatsoever, express
or implied. The recitals in any such deed of any matters
or facts, including any facts bearing upon the regularity
or validity of any Agent's Sale, shall be conclusive proof
of their truthfulness. Any such deed shall be conclusive
against all Persons as to the facts recited in it.
(h) Foreclosure Sales.
(i) Single or Multiple. If the Property consists of more
than one lot, parcel or item of property, Agent may:
(A) Designate the order in which the lots, parcels
and/or items shall be sold or disposed of or offered for
sale or disposition; and
(B) Elect to dispose of the lots, parcels and/or
items through a single consolidated sale or disposition to
be held or made under the power of sale granted under this
Deed of Trust, or in connection with judicial proceedings,
or by virtue of a judgment and decree of foreclosure and
sale; or through two or more such sales or dispositions;
or in any other manner Agent may deem to be in its best
interests (any such sale or disposition, a "Foreclosure
Sale;" any two or more, "Foreclosure Sales").
If Agent chooses to have more than one Foreclosure Sale, Agent at
its option may cause the Foreclosure Sales to be held
simultaneously or successively, on the same day, or on such
different days and at such different times and in such order as
it may deem to be in its best interests. No Foreclosure Sale
shall terminate or affect the security interests granted to Agent
in the Property by this Deed of Trust on any part of the Property
which has not been sold, until all of the Lessor Obligations have
been performed in full.
7
334
(ii) Credit Bids. At any Foreclosure Sale, any Person,
Participant or Agent may bid for and acquire the Property or any
part of it to the extent permitted by then applicable
Governmental Rules. Instead of paying cash for that property,
Agent may settle for the purchase price by crediting the sales
price of the Property against the Lessor Obligations in any order
and proportions as Agent in its sole discretion may choose.
(i) Other Rights and Remedies. To exercise any other right, power
or remedy permitted to it by any applicable Governmental Rule, either by
suit in equity or by action at law, or both.
5.03. Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of Agent under this
Deed of Trust and the other Operative Documents are cumulative and may be
exercised singularly, successively, or together.
5.04. No Cure or Waiver. The exercise by Agent of any of its other
rights and remedies under this Deed of Trust or any other Operative Document
(including the collection of Issues and Profits) shall not constitute a cure or
waiver of any Event of Default or nullify the effect of any notice of default or
sale, unless and until all Lessor Obligations are performed in full.
5.05. Exercise of Rights and Remedies. The rights and remedies provided
to Agent under this Deed of Trust may be exercised by Agent itself, by a
court-appointed receiver or by any other Person appointed by any of the
foregoing to act on its behalf. All of the benefits afforded to Agent under this
Deed of Trust and the other Operative Documents shall accrue to the benefit of
the Participants to the extent provided in Subparagraph 2.02(c) of the
Participation Agreement.
SECTION 6. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

7.01 of the Participation Agreement.
6.02. Waivers; Amendments. Any term, covenant, agreement or condition of
this Deed of Trust may be amended or waived only as provided in the
Participation Agreement. No failure or delay by Agent in exercising any right
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other further exercise
thereof or of any other right. Unless otherwise specified in any such waiver or
consent, a waiver or consent given hereunder shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
6.03. Successors and Assigns. This Deed of Trust shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the Lessor Parties and their permitted successors
and assigns; provided, however, that the Lessor Parties shall not sell, assign
or delegate their respective rights and obligations hereunder except as provided
in the Participation Agreement.
6.04. No Third Party Rights. Nothing expressed in or to be implied from
this Deed of Trust is intended to give, or shall be construed to give, any
8
335
Person, other than the Lessor Parties and their permitted successors and
assigns, any benefit or legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by
virtue of this Deed of Trust or under or by virtue of any provision herein.
6.05. Partial Invalidity. If at any time any provision of this Deed of
Trust is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the
law or any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Deed of Trust nor the legality, validity or
enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction shall
in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
6.06. Governing Law. This Deed of Trust shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without
reference to conflicts of law rules.
6.07. Counterparts. This Deed of Trust may be executed in any number of

execute, acknowledge (if appropriate) and deliver any and all documents and
instruments and do or cause to be done all further acts reasonably necessary or

other estate in, or any other lien on, the Property unless Agent consents to a
merger in writing.
6.10. Waiver of Marshalling Rights. Lessor, for itself and for all
parties claiming through or under Lessor, and for all parties who may acquire a
lien on or interest in the Property, hereby waives all rights to have the
Property and/or any other property which is now or later may be security for any
Secured Obligation marshalled upon any foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or on a
foreclosure of any other security for any of the Secured Obligations.
6.11. Exhibits. Exhibit A is incorporated into this Deed of Trust by

4. MISCELLANEOUS.

RECITALS
A. Lessee has requested Lessor and the financial institutions which are

facility: --------- ------------
(1) Lessor would (a) acquire certain property designated by

Agreements delivered to Lessor are complete and correct; and (c) Lessee has not
assigned any of its rights under the Construction
Agreements.
3.02. Covenants. Lessee agrees (a) to pay and perform all obligations of
Lessee under the Construction Agreements; (b) to enforce the payment and
performance of all obligations of any other Person under the Construction
Agreements; (c) not to revise, amend or modify the existing Construction
Agreements if such revision, amendment or modification (either alone or together
with all prior revisions, amendments or modifications to such Construction
Agreements)

Construction Agreements without Lessor's prior written approval which shall not
be unreasonably withheld, except as otherwise may be permitted by the Operative
Documents; and (d) not to further assign, for security or any other purposes,
its rights under the Construction Agreements without Lessor's prior written

single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other further exercise
thereof or of any other right. Unless otherwise specified in any such waiver or
consent, a waiver or consent given hereunder shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
4.03. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Lessor Parties and Lessee and their permitted
successors and assigns; provided, however, that the Lessor Parties and Lessee
shall not sell, assign or delegate their respective rights and obligations
hereunder except as provided in the Participation Agreement.
4.04. No Third Party Rights. Nothing expressed in or to be implied from
this Agreement is intended to give, or shall be construed to give, any Person,
other than the Lessor Parties and Lessee and their permitted successors and
assigns, any benefit or legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by
virtue of this Agreement or under or by virtue of any provision herein.
4.05. Partial Invalidity. If at any time any provision of this Agreement
is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the law or
any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Agreement nor the legality, validity or
enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction shall

exercise its rights under the Assignment and requests Contractor's
performance under the Construction Agreements in writing, Lessor neither
undertakes nor assumes any obligations or liability under the
Construction Agreements.

received by Contractor from or on account of Lessee in connection with the

of costs incurred in the

the Operative Documents following the occurrence of such Event of
Default, provided that such exercise by Lessee of the Term Purchase
Option after the occurrence of any Event of Default shall not require
the Lessor Parties to cease exercising such rights and remedies unless
and until Lessee completes the purchase of the Property pursuant to the
Term Purchase Option and this Agreement.
2.02. Partial Purchase Option. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement and the other Operative Documents (including those set forth
below in this Paragraph 2.02), Lessee may, at its option on any Business Day
prior to the Scheduled Expiration Date of the Lease Agreement, without
terminating the Lease Agreement, purchase one or more Tracts (but less than all)
of the Property (the "Partial Purchase Option").
(a) Notice of Partial Purchase Option Exercise. Lessee shall
notify Lessor of Lessee's exercise of the Partial Purchase Option by
delivering to Lessor an irrevocable written notice in the form of
Exhibit A(2), appropriately completed (the "Notice of Partial Purchase
Option Exercise"), which states that Lessee is exercising its right to
purchase one or more (but less than all) Tracts of the Property prior to
the Scheduled Expiration Date pursuant to this Paragraph 2.02 and
specifies (i) the Tract(s) so to be purchased and (ii) the Business Day
on which such purchase is to occur (a "Partial Purchase Date"). Lessee
shall give each Notice of Partial Purchase Option Exercise to Lessor at
least one (1) month prior to the Partial Purchase Date on which a
purchase is to occur. Each Notice of Partial Purchase Option Exercise
shall be delivered as required by Subparagraph 2.02(c) and Paragraph
7.01 of the Participation Agreement; provided, however, that Lessee
shall promptly deliver the original of any Notice of Partial Purchase
Option Exercise initially delivered by facsimile.
(b) Partial Purchase Option Purchase Price. Lessee shall pay to
Lessor on each Partial Purchase Date, as the purchase price for each
Tract of Property to be purchased on such date, an amount equal to the
portion of the Outstanding Lease Amount on such date attributable to
such Tract of Property.
(c) Conditions to Exercise of Partial Purchase Option. The
purchase by Lessee on any Partial Purchase Date of any Tract of Property
pursuant to this Paragraph 2.02 is subject to receipt by Lessor, on or
prior to such Partial Purchase Date, of new Expiration Date Appraisals
for all Tracts of Property that are to remain subject to the Lease
Agreement after such Partial Purchase Date, which appraisals (i) each
shall be dated a recent date prior to such Partial Purchase Date and
(ii) together shall assess the aggregate Fair Market Value of all such
remaining Tracts of Property at not less than the Outstanding Lease
Amount that will remain after application of all amounts to be applied
thereto on such Partial Purchase Date.

SECTION 3. OBLIGATIONS OF LESSEE ON THE EXPIRATION DATE.
3.01. Alternative. Unless Lessee has exercised the Term Purchase Option,
on the Expiration Date of the Lease Agreement, Lessee shall either:
(a) Marketing Option. Cause another Person to complete the
purchase of the Property pursuant to Paragraph 3.02 (the "Marketing
Option"); or
(b) Expiration Date Purchase Option. Purchase the Property
itself pursuant to Paragraph 3.03 (the "Expiration Date Purchase

Lessee shall elect either the Marketing Option or the Expiration Date Purchase
Option by delivering to Lessor, not more than nine (9) months nor less than six
(6) months prior to the Scheduled Expiration Date for the Lease Agreement,
either (i) a written notice in the form of Exhibit B, appropriately completed
(the "Notice of Marketing Option Exercise"), or (ii) a written notice in the

Purchase Option Exercise"); provided, however, that (A) Lessee shall be deemed
to have elected the Expiration Date Purchase Option if it fails to deliver
either notice as required by this sentence; (B) Lessee's election of the
Expiration Date Purchase Option (whether expressly by a notice so delivered or
implicitly by the failure to deliver any notice) shall be irrevocable; and (C)
Lessee may not elect the Marketing Option if (1) the Expiration Date has been
accelerated to an earlier Termination Date following a Marketing Option Event of
Default under the Lease Agreement or (2) the conditions set forth in Paragraph
3.04 of the Participation Agreement are not satisfied on the date Lessee
delivers its election notice or on the Expiration Date of the Lease Agreement
(unless, in each case, the only event or condition causing such conditions not
to be so satisfied is the occurrence of a Non-Marketing Option Event of Default
under the Lease Agreement). The Notice of Marketing Option Exercise or the
Notice of Expiration Date Purchase Option Exercise shall be delivered as
required by Subparagraph 2.02(c) and Paragraph 7.01 of the Participation
Agreement; provided, however, that Lessee shall promptly deliver to Lessor the
original of any such notice initially delivered by facsimile.
3.02. Marketing Option.
(a) General. If Lessee elects to exercise the Marketing Option by
delivering to Lessor a Notice of Marketing Option Exercise pursuant to
Paragraph 3.01, Lessee shall (i) locate a purchaser which satisfies the
requirements set forth in this Paragraph 3.02, (ii) arrange for such
purchaser to purchase the Property on the Expiration Date for a purchase
price which is not less than the lesser of (A) the sum of the total
Tranche B Proportionate Share and the total Tranche C Proportionate

the Property and (iii) otherwise comply, or cause compliance with, the
requirements of this Paragraph 3.02 and the other applicable provisions
of this Agreement.
(b) Lessee's Marketing Obligations.
(i) Initial Marketing Period. During the period
beginning on the date Lessee delivers the Notice of Marketing
Option Exercise and ending on the date which is four (4) months
prior to the Expiration Date of the Lease Agreement (the
4
365
"Initial Marketing Period"), Lessee shall use reasonable efforts
to solicit Conforming Bids from potential purchasers of the
Property. On or prior to the last day of the Initial Marketing
Period, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor any Conforming Bid
selected by Lessee (the "Initial Bid"). If the purchase price
specified in the Initial Bid is equal to or greater than the sum
of the total Tranche B Proportionate Share and the total Tranche
C Proportionate Share of the Outstanding Lease Amount, Lessor
shall accept such bid and Lessee shall have no further
obligations to solicit additional bids.
(ii) Secondary Marketing Period. If Lessee does not
submit an Initial Bid or if the purchase price specified in the
Initial Bid is less than the sum of the total Tranche B
Proportionate Share and the total Tranche C Proportionate Share
of the Outstanding Lease Amount, Lessor may reject such bid and
Lessee shall, during the period which begins on the day
following the Initial Marketing Period and ends on the date two
(2) months prior to the Expiration Date of the Lease Agreement
(the "Secondary Marketing Period"):
(A) Use its best efforts to solicit additional
Conforming Bids, including the engagement of experienced

(B) Furnish to each Lessor Party copies of all
bids and otherwise provide each Lessor Party with such
information relating to the marketing of the Property as

all customary seller's indemnities (including
environmental indemnities), representations and
warranties regarding the Property (including the title
to, except for Lessor Liens, and condition of the
Property);
(D) Furnish to each Lessor Party copies of
environmental reports, architect's certificates,
licenses, permits and other evidence reasonably
requested by such Person to establish that no Default

each such Person all information regarding the Property
reasonably requested by such Person in writing;
(F) Take all other commercially reasonable steps
to secure the best price for the Property; and
(G) Submit to Lessor on or prior to the last day
of the Secondary Marketing Period any Conforming Bid
selected by Lessee with a purchase price which is equal
to or greater than the sum of the total Tranche B
Proportionate Share and the total Tranche C
Proportionate
5
366
Share of the Outstanding Lease Amount or, if no such
Conforming Bid was received by Lessee, the highest
Conforming Bid received by Lessee during the Secondary
Marketing Period.
During the Secondary Marketing Period, any Lessor Party shall
have the right to submit one or more bids or solicit bids from other
Persons.
(c) Conforming Bids. Each bid must meet each of the following
requirements (each such bid to be referred to herein as a "Conforming
Bid"):
(i) The bid may be submitted by any Person other than
(A) a Person which is an Affiliate of Lessee or (B) a Person
which has an agreement (whether express or implied) with Lessee
or any of its Affiliates to sell, lease or otherwise make
available to Lessee or any of its Affiliates any portion of the
Property;
(ii) The bidder must agree in writing to purchase the
Property on the Expiration Date of the Lease Agreement for a
purchase price to be paid in cash which is not less than the
lesser of (A) the sum of the total Tranche B Proportionate Share
and the total Tranche C Proportionate Share of the Outstanding
Lease Amount on such date and (B) the Fair Market Value of the
Property on such date;
(iii) The bidder must agree to purchase the Property "as
is" without any representations, warranties or indemnities,
except for (A) any representations, warranties or indemnities
provided by Lessor and Lessee pursuant to Subparagraph 4.01(b)
and (B) any representations, warranties or indemnities provided
by Lessee pursuant to clause (ii)(C) of Subparagraph 3.02(b);
and
(iv) The bidder must agree to be bound by the other
terms and conditions of this Agreement applicable to bidders.
(d) Lessor's Obligation to Accept Bids. If, at any time on or
prior to the last day of the Secondary Marketing Period, Lessee submits
to Lessor a Conforming Bid under this Paragraph 3.02 with a purchase
price which is equal to or greater than the sum of the total Tranche B
Proportionate Share and the total Tranche C Proportionate Share of the
Outstanding Lease Amount, Lessor shall accept such bid. If Lessee
submits to Lessor a Conforming Bid under this Paragraph 3.02 with a
purchase price which is less than the sum of the total Tranche B
Proportionate Share and the total Tranche C Proportionate Share of the
Outstanding Lease Amount, Lessor shall not accept such bid unless so
directed by Required Participants. If Lessee fails to submit a bid to
Lessor on or prior to the last day of the Secondary Marketing Period
which Lessor is so required to accept, Lessor shall retain the Property
after the Expiration Date of the Lease Agreement; provided, however,
that Lessee's payment obligations on such Expiration Date shall be
limited to the amounts payable pursuant to clause (iii) of Subparagraph
4.06(a) if (i) Lessor retains the Property after Lessee submits a
Conforming Bid on or prior to the last day of the Secondary Marketing
Period in accordance with clause (ii) of Subparagraph 3.02(b) and (ii)
the Marketing Option has not terminated prior to such Expiration Date
6
367
pursuant to Subparagraph 3.02(f). Lessor shall notify Lessee of Lessor's
election to retain the Property by delivering to Lessee, at least ten
(10) days prior to the Expiration Date of the Lease Agreement, a written
notice of such election.
(e) Purchase Price. If Lessor accepts any bid by any Person,
such Person (the "Designated Purchaser") shall pay to Lessor on the
Expiration Date of the Lease Agreement, as the purchase price for the
Property, the amount set forth in such bid as the purchase price.
(f) Termination of the Marketing Option. Lessee's right to
exercise the Marketing Option shall immediately terminate and Lessee
shall purchase the Property on the Expiration Date of the Lease
Agreement pursuant to Paragraph 3.03 if (i) Lessee fails to comply with
any of its obligations under this Paragraph 3.02; (ii) a Marketing
Option Event of Default under the Lease Agreement occurs after Lessee
delivers the Notice of Marketing Option Exercise; (iii) the conditions
precedent set forth in Paragraph 3.04 of the Participation Agreement are
not satisfied on the Expiration Date of the Lease Agreement (unless the
only event or condition causing such conditions not to be so satisfied
is the occurrence of a Non-Marketing Option Event of Default under the
Lease Agreement); or (iv) the Designated Purchaser fails to consummate
the purchase of the Property on the Expiration Date of the Lease
Agreement in accordance with its accepted bid and this Agreement,
without regard to the reason for such failure (except as otherwise
provided in the following proviso); provided, however, that, if the
Designated Purchaser fails to consummate the purchase of the Property on
the Expiration Date solely due to Lessor's failure to remove Lessor
Liens or deliver the required deed and xxxx of sale or other documents
required to be delivered by Lessor hereunder, Lessee's right to exercise
the Marketing Option shall not terminate, Lessee shall not be required
to purchase the Property on the Expiration Date and Lessee's payment
obligations on the Expiration Date shall be limited to the amounts set
forth in clause (ii) of Subparagraph 4.06(a).
(g) Residual Value Guaranty Amount and Indemnity Amount. Unless
Lessee's right to exercise the Marketing Option has terminated and
Lessee is required to purchase the Property on the Expiration Date of
the Lease Agreement pursuant to Paragraph 3.03, Lessee shall pay to
Lessor on such Expiration Date the following:
(i) An amount equal to the total Tranche A Proportionate
Share of the Outstanding Lease Amount under on such date (the
"Residual Value Guaranty Amount"); and
(ii) An amount equal to the decrease, if any, between
the Commencement Date and the Expiration Date of the Lease
Agreement in the Fair Market Value of the Property caused by (A)
any representation or warranty of Lessee or any of its
Affiliates regarding the Property set forth in any of the
Operative Documents proving to be false or inaccurate when made,
(B) the existence of, or the failure of Lessee to pay any
Governmental Charge, Indebtedness or other obligation which
might give rise to, any Liens in the Property (other than
Permitted Property Liens), (C) the failure of Lessee to complete
any New Improvements or any Modifications or (D) any other
failure of
7
368
Lessee to comply with any of its obligations regarding the
Property set forth in any of the Operative Documents (the
"Indemnity Amount");
Provided, however, that (A) Lessee shall not be obligated to pay any
Residual Value Guaranty Amount or Indemnity Amount if the purchase price paid to
Lessor equals or exceeds the Outstanding Lease Amount on such date and (B) the
sum of any Residual Value Guaranty Amount and Indemnity Amount payable to Lessor
on the Expiration Date of the Lease Agreement shall not exceed the deficiency,
if any, between such Outstanding Lease Amount and such purchase price.
(h) Determination of Fair Market Value and Indemnity Amount. If
the purchase price specified in the Initial Bid is less than the sum of
the total Tranche B Proportionate Share and the total Tranche C
Proportionate Share of the Outstanding Lease Amount, Lessor may, on or
prior to the last day of the Secondary Marketing Period (if Lessee has
not previously delivered to Lessor a Conforming Bid with a purchase
price equal to or greater than the sum of the total Tranche B
Proportionate Share and the total Tranche C Proportionate Share of the
Outstanding Lease Amount), deliver to Lessee a written notice of
Lessor's determination of the current Fair Market Value of the Property
and the Indemnity Amount. To determine such amounts, Lessor shall obtain
Appraisals of the Property which set forth:
(i) A current Appraisal of the Fair Market Value of the
Property in its then existing condition (the "Current
Appraisal"); and
(ii) An Appraisal of the Fair Market Value of the
Property which assumes that (A) all representations and
warranties regarding the Property made by Lessee or any of its
Affiliates in any of the Operative Documents were true and
correct when made; (B) Lessee has maintained the Property in
compliance with all applicable Governmental Rules, Insurance
Requirements and the Operative Documents; (C) Lessee has
completed all Modifications and any other New Improvements in a
good and workmanlike manner and otherwise as required by the
Operative Documents; (D) Lessee has repaired the Property as
required by the Operative Documents following any Casualty; (E)
Lessee has restored the Property as required by the Operative
Documents following any Condemnation; (F) Lessee has paid all
Governmental Charges, Indebtedness and other obligations which,
if unpaid, might give rise to a Lien (other than a Lessor Lien)
on the Property; (G) Lessee has removed all Liens on the
Property except for Permitted Property Liens and Lessor Liens;
and (H) Lessee has performed all of its other obligations as
required by the Operative Documents (the "Assumed Appraisal").
In the absence of manifest error, (A) the Current Appraisal shall
constitute the current Fair Market Value of the Property and (B) the
difference between the Current Appraisal and the Assumed Appraisal shall
constitute the Indemnity Amount if the Current Appraisal is less than
the Assumed Appraisal.
8
369
(i) Lessee not an Agent. Lessee shall not be an agent for any of
the Lessor Parties in arranging for a purchaser of the Property. No
Lessor Party shall be bound by any acts of Lessee.
(j) Excess Proceeds. If, on the Expiration Date of the Lease
Agreement, after the application by Lessor of all amounts received by
Lessor on such date to the Outstanding Lease Amount, all unpaid Rent
accrued through or due and payable on or prior to such date and all
other amounts, if any, due and payable by Lessee under the Operative
Documents on or prior to such date, any excess amount remains, Lessor
shall pay such excess amount to Lessee.
(k) Creditworthiness of Designated Purchaser. Lessee assumes all
responsibility for determining the creditworthiness of any potential
purchaser on any bid submitted by Lessee to Lessor hereunder. If, after
any purchase by a Designated Purchaser hereunder, the purchase price
paid by such Designated Purchaser is recovered from any Lessor Party,
Lessee shall reimburse such Lessor Party for such recovery unless such
recovery is due solely to a material misrepresentation or covenant
breach by such Lessor Party.
(l) Exercise of Marketing Option After Non-Marketing Option
Event of Default. If Lessor notifies Lessee pursuant to Subparagraph
5.03(a) or Subparagraph 5.04(a) of the Lease Agreement that Lessor is
terminating the Lease Agreement on a Termination Date which is prior to
the Scheduled Expiration Date of the Lease Agreement and the only basis
for such early termination is the occurrence of a Non-Marketing Option
Event of Default, Lessee may, subject to Paragraph 3.01, elect to
exercise the Marketing Option if, not later than ten (10) Business Days
after it receives from Lessor such notice of early termination, it (i)
delivers to Lessor a Notice of Marketing Option Exercise, (ii) delivers
to Agent (A) a Cash Collateral Agreement in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and Agent and (B) Cash Collateral in
an amount not less than 105% of the total Tranche A Proportionate Share
of the Outstanding Lease Amount, and (iii) delivers to Lessor an opinion
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor regarding the
Cash Collateral Agreement and Lessor's security interest in such Cash
Collateral and (iv) takes such other actions as may be necessary to
grant to Agent first priority perfected security interests in such Cash
Collateral in accordance with the Cash Collateral Agreement. Upon the
delivery by Lessee to Lessor of a Notice of Marketing Option Exercise
and satisfaction of the Cash Collateral requirements set forth in the
preceding sentence of this Subparagraph 3.02(l), the Expiration Date of
the Lease Agreement shall, if the conditions to the exercise of the
Marketing Option set forth in Paragraph 3.01 are satisfied, be extended
to the first Business Day that is six (6) months after the date of
receipt by Lessor of such Notice of Marketing Option Exercise, provided,
however, that in no event shall the Expiration Date of the Lease
Agreement be extended beyond the Scheduled Expiration Date. Any exercise
by Lessee of the Marketing Option pursuant to this Subparagraph 3.02(l)
shall be subject to the terms and conditions otherwise set forth in this
Agreement.
(m) Lessor's Obligation to Sell. If Lessor retains the Property
after the Expiration Date for any reason under the Operative Documents
without a judicial or non-
9
370
judicial foreclosure sale or a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure from Lessee,
Lessor thereafter shall use commercially reasonable efforts to sell the
Property in a reasonable time to one or more unrelated third parties for
the Fair Market Value of the Property; provided, however that Lessor
shall have no obligation to sell the Property at a time, or in a manner,
that would adversely affect the Lessor Parties' ability to be paid in
full the Outstanding Lease Amount, all other amounts payable to the
Lessor Parties under the Operative Documents (including reasonable costs
of maintaining, managing and selling the Property) and carrying costs
for the Outstanding Lease Amount and such other amounts accruing at the
Base Rate. Following such sale, Lessor shall pay to Lessee any amounts
received by Lessor in excess of the amounts referred to in the proviso
to the preceding sentence.
3.03. Expiration Date Purchase Option.
(a) General. If (i) Lessee elects to exercise the Expiration Date
Purchase Option by delivering to Lessor a Notice of Expiration Date
Purchase Option Exercise pursuant to Paragraph 3.01; (ii) Lessee elects
to exercise the Marketing Option by delivering to Lessor a Notice of
Marketing Option Exercise pursuant to Paragraph 3.01 but the Marketing
Option terminates pursuant to Subparagraph 3.02(f); or (iii) Lessee
fails to deliver to Lessor either notice as required by Paragraph 3.01;
Lessee shall purchase the Property on the Expiration Date of the Lease
Agreement and otherwise comply, or cause compliance with, the
requirements of this Paragraph 3.03 and the other applicable provisions
of this Agreement.
(b) Purchase Price. Lessee shall pay to Lessor on the Expiration
Date of the Lease Agreement, as the purchase price for the Property, an
amount equal to the Outstanding Lease Amount under on such date.

in favor of
(2) ABN AMRO BANK N.V., as agent for the Participants under

capacity, "Agent").
RECITALS
A. KLA-Tencor Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Lessee"), has

the Participation Agreement referred to in Recital B below (such financial
institutions to be referred to collectively as the "Participants") to provide to
Lessee a certain lease facility. Pursuant to such facility:
(1) Lessor would (a) acquire certain property designated by
Lessee (either through purchase or lease), (b) lease to Lessee such
property and certain other property currently held by Lessor, (c)
appoint Lessee as Lessor's agent to make certain improvements to a
portion of such property, (d) make advances to finance such
improvements and to pay certain related expenses, and (e) grant to
Lessee the right to purchase such property; and

by (a) funding the purchase prices and other advances to be made by
Lessor and (b) acquiring participation interests in the rental and
certain other payments to be made by Lessee.
B. Pursuant to a Participation Agreement dated of even date herewith
(the "Participation Agreement") among Lessee, Lessor, the Participants and
Agent, Lessor and the Participants have agreed to provide such lease facility
upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, including,
without limitation, the execution and delivery of (1) the Lease Agreement dated
as of November 12, 1997 between Lessee and Lessor (the "Lease Agreement"),
pursuant to which Lessee has leased from Lessor the lots, pieces, tracts and
parcels of land described in Exhibit A (the "Land") and the other property
described in the Lease Agreement (the "Property"), (2) the Purchase Agreement
dated as of November 12, 1997 between Lessee and Lessor (the "Purchase
Agreement"), pursuant to which Lessee may purchase the Property from Lessor
under certain circumstances, and (3) this Assignment.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above Recitals and the mutual
covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
402
SECTION 1. INTERPRETATION.
1.01. Definitions. Unless otherwise indicated in this Assignment or any
other Operative Document, each term set forth in Schedule 1.01 to the
Participation Agreement, when used in this Assignment or any other Operative
Document, shall have the respective meaning given to that term in such Schedule
1.01 or in the provision of this Assignment or other document, instrument or
agreement referenced in such Schedule 1.01.
1.02. Rules of Construction. Unless otherwise indicated in this
Assignment or any other Operative Document, the rules of construction set forth
in Schedule 1.02 to the Participation Agreement shall apply to this Assignment
and the other Operative Documents.
SECTION 2. ASSIGNMENT.
2.01. Assignment. As security for the Lessor Obligations, Lessor hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally grants, conveys, transfers and assigns to Agent,
for the benefit of the Participants and Agent, all estate, right, title and
interest of Lessor, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in the Lease
Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, including all claims and rights to the
payment of money at any time arising in connection with any repudiation,
rejection or breach of either agreement by Lessee or a trustee or receiver of
Lessee in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.
2.02. Receipt of Rents, Etc. Lessor hereby irrevocably designates Agent
(or its designee) to receive all Rents and other payments to be made by Lessee
under the Lease Agreement and the Purchase Agreement. Lessor shall direct (and
hereby directs) Lessee to deliver to Agent (or its designee), at its address set
forth in the Participation Agreement or at such other address or to such other
Person as Agent shall designate, all such payments, and no delivery thereof by
Lessee shall be of any force or effect unless made to Agent (or its designee),
as herein provided. Lessor and Agent agree that Lessee, in making such payments
to Agent pursuant to the directions contained in this Assignment and in reliance
on such directions shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligation for such
payments under the Lease Agreement.
2.03. Irrevocability; Supplemental Instruments. Lessor agrees that (a)
this Assignment is irrevocable, (b) Lessor will not take any action under the
Lease Agreement or the Purchase Agreement or otherwise which is inconsistent
with this Assignment, (c) any action, assignment, designation or direction
inconsistent herewith shall be void and (d) Lessor will from time to time
execute and deliver all instruments of further assurance and do such further
acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the
purpose of this Assignment.
2.04. Validity. Lessor represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that
(a) Lessor has not assigned or executed any assignment of, and will not assign
or execute any assignment of, Lessor's estate, right, title or interest in the
Lease Agreement or the Purchase Agreement to anyone other than Agent, (b) any
such assignment is void, and (c) Lessor has not taken any action that impairs
the rights of Agent hereunder.
2
403
2.05. Lessor Remains Liable. The assignment made hereby is made for the
purpose of securing the Lessor Obligations only and does not (a) impair or
diminish in any way the obligations of Lessor under the Lease Agreement or the
Purchase Agreement or (b) obligate Agent (or its designee) or any Participant to
perform any of the obligations of Lessor under the Lease Agreement or the
Purchase Agreement. This Assignment shall not operate to cause Agent (or its
designee) to be regarded as a mortgagee in possession.
2.06. Effect of Amendments. If the Lease Agreement or the Purchase
Agreement shall be amended, it shall continue to be subject to the provisions
hereof without the necessity of any further act by any of the parties hereto.
2.07. Absolute Assignment. Lessor has, subject to and in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this Assignment, assigned and transferred unto
Agent all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to all Rents and other
amounts now or hereafter payable by Lessee under the Lease Agreement and the
Purchase Agreement, it being intended to establish an absolute transfer and
assignment, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Assignment, of all such Rents and other amounts to Agent and not merely to grant
a security interest therein. Subject to the Lease Agreement, Agent (or its
designee) may, in Lessor's name and stead, operate the Property and rent, lease
or let all or any portion of the Property to any party or parties at such rental
and upon such terms as Agent (or its designee) shall, in its discretion,
determine.
2.08. Receivers. If, notwithstanding the terms of this Assignment, a
petition or order for sequestration of rents, or the appointment of a receiver
or some similar judicial action or order is deemed required under applicable
California law to allow Agent to continue to collect the Rents and other amounts
payable by Lessee under the Lease Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, then it
is agreed by Lessor that any proof of claim or similar document filed by Agent
in connection with the breach or rejection of the Lease Agreement or the
Purchase Agreement by Lessee thereunder or the trustee of any lessee under any
federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law shall, for the
purpose of perfecting Agent's rights, be deemed to constitute action required
under such California law. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, Lessor hereby consents to the appointment of a receiver for
Lessor's interest in the Property without regard to the solvency of Lessor or to
the collateral that may be available for the satisfaction of the Lessor
Obligations.
SECTION 3. MISCELLANEOUS.
3.01. Notices. Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices,
requests, demands, consents, instructions or other communications to or upon
Lessor or Agent under this Assignment shall be given as provided in Paragraph
7.01 of the Participation Agreement.
3.02. Waivers; Amendments. Any term, covenant, agreement or condition
of this Assignment may be amended or waived only as provided in the
Participation Agreement. No failure or delay by Agent in exercising any right
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other further exercise
thereof or of any other right. Unless otherwise specified in any such waiver or
consent,
3
404
a waiver or consent given hereunder shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
3.03. Successors and Assigns. This Assignment shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Lessor Parties and their permitted successors and
assigns; provided, however, that the Lessor Parties shall not sell, assign or
delegate their respective rights and obligations hereunder except as provided in
the Participation Agreement.
3.04. No Third Party Rights. Nothing expressed in or to be implied from
this Assignment is intended to give, or shall be construed to give, any Person,
other than the Lessor Parties and their permitted successors and assigns, any
benefit or legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by virtue of this
Assignment or under or by virtue of any provision herein.
3.05. Partial Invalidity. If at any time any provision of this
Assignment is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under
the law or any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of
the remaining provisions of this Assignment nor the legality, validity or
enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction shall
in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
3.06. Governing Law. This Assignment shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of California without reference to
conflicts of law rules.
3.07. Counterparts. This Assignment may be executed in any number of
identical counterparts, any set of which signed by all the parties hereto shall

Document, shall have the respective meaning given to that term in such Schedule
1.01 or in the provision of this Assignment or other document, instrument or
agreement referenced in such Schedule 1.01.
1.02. Rules of Construction. Unless otherwise indicated in this
Assignment or any other Operative Document, the rules of construction set forth
in Schedule 1.02 to the Participation Agreement shall apply to this Assignment
and the other Operative Documents.
SECTION 2. ASSIGNMENT.
2.01. Assignment. As security for the Lessor Obligations, Lessor hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally grants, conveys, transfers and assigns to Agent,
for the benefit of the Participants and Agent, all estate, right, title and
interest of Lessor, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in the Lease
Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, including all claims and rights to the
payment of money at any time arising in connection with any repudiation,
rejection or breach of either agreement by Lessee or a trustee or receiver of
Lessee in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.
2.02. Receipt of Rents, Etc. Lessor hereby irrevocably designates Agent (or
its designee) to receive all Rents and other payments to be made by Lessee under
the Lease Agreement and the Purchase Agreement. Lessor shall direct (and hereby
directs) Lessee to deliver to Agent (or its designee), at its address set forth
in the Participation Agreement or at such other address or to such other Person
as Agent shall designate, all such payments, and no delivery thereof by Lessee
shall be of any force or effect unless made to Agent (or its designee), as
herein provided. Lessor and Agent agree that Lessee, in making such payments to
Agent pursuant to the directions contained in this Assignment and in reliance on
such directions shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligation for such
payments under the Lease Agreement.
2.03. Irrevocability; Supplemental Instruments. Lessor agrees that (a) this
Assignment is irrevocable, (b) Lessor will not take any action under the Lease
Agreement or the Purchase Agreement or otherwise which is inconsistent with this
Assignment, (c) any action, assignment, designation or direction inconsistent
herewith shall be void and (d) Lessor will from time to time execute and deliver
all instruments of further assurance and do such further acts as may be
reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this
Assignment.
2.04. Validity. Lessor represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that
(a) Lessor has not assigned or executed any assignment of, and will not assign
or execute any assignment of, Lessor's estate, right, title or interest in the
Lease Agreement or the Purchase Agreement to anyone other than Agent, (b) any
such assignment is void, and (c) Lessor has not taken any action that impairs
the rights of Agent hereunder.
2.05. Lessor Remains Liable. The assignment made hereby is made for the
purpose of securing the Lessor Obligations only and does not (a) impair or
diminish in any way the
2
415
obligations of Lessor under the Lease Agreement or the Purchase Agreement or (b)
obligate Agent (or its designee) or any Participant to perform any of the
obligations of Lessor under the Lease Agreement or the Purchase Agreement. This
Assignment shall not operate to cause Agent (or its designee) to be regarded as
a mortgagee in possession.
2.06. Effect of Amendments. If the Lease Agreement or the Purchase
Agreement shall be amended, it shall continue to be subject to the provisions
hereof without the necessity of any further act by any of the parties hereto.
2.07. Absolute Assignment. Lessor has, subject to and in accordance with
the terms and conditions of this Assignment, assigned and transferred unto Agent
all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to all Rents and other amounts
now or hereafter payable by Lessee under the Lease Agreement and the Purchase
Agreement, it being intended to establish an absolute transfer and assignment,
subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Assignment,
of all such Rents and other amounts to Agent and not merely to grant a security
interest therein. Subject to the Lease Agreement, Agent (or its designee) may,
in Lessor's name and stead, operate the Property and rent, lease or let all or
any portion of the Property to any party or parties at such rental and upon such
terms as Agent (or its designee) shall, in its discretion, determine.
2.08. Receivers. If, notwithstanding the terms of this Assignment, a
petition or order for sequestration of rents, or the appointment of a receiver
or some similar judicial action or order is deemed required under applicable
California law to allow Agent to continue to collect the Rents and other amounts
payable by Lessee under the Lease Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, then it
is agreed by Lessor that any proof of claim or similar document filed by Agent
in connection with the breach or rejection of the Lease Agreement or the
Purchase Agreement by Lessee thereunder or the trustee of any lessee under any
federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law shall, for the
purpose of perfecting Agent's rights, be deemed to constitute action required
under such California law. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, Lessor hereby consents to the appointment of a receiver for
Lessor's interest in the Property without regard to the solvency of Lessor or to
the collateral that may be available for the satisfaction of the Lessor
Obligations.
SECTION 3. MISCELLANEOUS.
3.01. Notices. Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices,
requests, demands, consents, instructions or other communications to or upon
Lessor or Agent under this Assignment shall be given as provided in Paragraph
7.01 of the Participation Agreement.
3.02. Waivers; Amendments. Any term, covenant, agreement or condition of
this Assignment may be amended or waived only as provided in the Participation
Agreement. No failure or delay by Agent in exercising any right hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right preclude any other further exercise thereof
or of any other right. Unless otherwise specified in any such waiver or consent,
a waiver or consent given hereunder shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
3
416
3.03. Successors and Assigns. This Assignment shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Lessor Parties and their permitted successors and
assigns; provided, however, that the Lessor Parties shall not sell, assign or

the Participation Agreement.
3.04. No Third Party Rights. Nothing expressed in or to be implied from
this Assignment is intended to give, or shall be construed to give, any Person,
other than the Lessor Parties and their permitted successors and assigns, any

end on the first Business Day of the first calendar month
immediately following the month in which such origination
occurs, (2) every other Rental Period shall begin and end on the
first Business Day of a calendar month, (3) during the
Commitment Period, the Rental Period for the Portion consisting
of all Improvement/Expense Advances made after the Closing Date

on the Closing Date and on the Tract 4 Acquisition Date and end
on December 1, 1997 shall be a rate agreed upon by Lessee and
Lessor; or
(B) If any other Rental Period is less than seven (7)
days, the Rental Rate for such Rental Period shall be the
Alternate Rental Rate; or
(C) If the LIBOR Rental Rate is unavailable for any
Rental Period pursuant to Subparagraph 2.12(a) or Subparagraph
2.12(b) of the Participation Agreement, the Rental Rate for such
Rental Period shall be the Alternate Rental Rate.
(iv) Lessee shall pay Base Rent in arrears (A) for each Portion,
on the last day of each Rental Period therefor and, in the case of any
Rental Period which exceeds three (3) months, each day occurring every
three (3) months after the first day of such Rental Period

Documents for the payment of such amounts or, if no date is specified
for the payment of any such amount, upon the demand of Lessor or any
other Person to whom such amount is payable.

due diligence which it deems appropriate regarding the Property and agrees that

leasing the Property "as is, with all faults" without any representation,
warranty, indemnity or undertaking by any Lessor Party regarding any aspect of
the Property, including (a) the condition of the Property (including any
Improvements to the Property made prior to the Commencement Date or during the

Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lessee specifically
waives any covenant of quiet enjoyment except as otherwise provided in
Subparagraph 5.04(b) of the Participation Agreement.
2.06. Nature of Transaction. As more fully provided in Paragraph 2.10 of
the Participation Agreement, Lessee and the Lessor Parties intend that the
transaction evidenced by this Agreement and the other Operative Documents
constitute an operating lease in accordance with FASB 13 for accounting purposes
and a loan secured by the Property for all other purposes, including federal,
state and local income tax purposes and commercial, real estate and bankruptcy
law purposes.
2.07. Security, Etc. In order to secure the Lessee Obligations and
otherwise to assure the Lessor Parties the benefits hereof in the event that the
transaction evidenced by this Agreement and the other Operative Documents is,
pursuant to the intent of Lessee and the Lessor Parties, treated as a loan for
certain purposes, Lessee hereby makes the following grants and agrees as
follows:
(a) Real Property Security. As security for the Lessee
Obligations, Lessee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally grants,
conveys, transfers and assigns to Lessor, in trust for the benefit of
the Lessor Parties, with power of sale and right of entry and
5
444
possession, all estate, right, title and interest of Lessee in the
following property, whether now owned or leased or hereafter acquired,
(collectively, the "Real Property Collateral"):
(i) The Land;
(ii) All Improvements located on the Land;
(iii) All Appurtenant Rights belonging, relating or
pertaining to any of the foregoing Land or Improvements;
(iv) All Subleases of and all Issues and Profits
accruing from any of the foregoing Land, Improvements or
Appurtenant Rights to the extent that such Subleases and Issues
and Profits constitute real property;
(v) All Related Goods, Related Permits and Related
Agreements related to any of the foregoing Land, Improvements or
Appurtenant Rights to the extent that such Related Goods,
Related Agreements and Related Permits constitute real property;
(vi) All other Property to the extent that such property
constitutes real property; and
(vii) All proceeds of the foregoing, including Casualty
and Condemnation Proceeds.
(b) Personal Property Security. As security for the Lessee Obligations,
Lessee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally assigns and grants to Lessor, for
the benefit of the Lessor Parties, a security interest in all estate, right,
title and interest of Lessee in the following property, whether now owned or
leased or hereafter acquired, (collectively, the "Personal Property
Collateral"):
(i) All Subleases of and all Issues and Profits accruing from
any of the Land, Improvements or Appurtenant Rights to the extent that
such Subleases and Issues and Profits constitute personal property;
(ii) All Related Goods, Related Permits and Related Agreements
related to any of the Land, Improvements or Appurtenant Rights to the
extent that such Related Goods, Related Agreements and Related Permits
constitute personal property;
(iii) All Cash Collateral and all other deposit accounts,

connection with this Agreement or any other Operative Document
(including any Repair and Restoration Account);
(iv) All other Property to the extent such Property constitutes

6
445
(v) All proceeds of the foregoing, including Casualty and
Condemnation Proceeds.
This Agreement constitutes a fixture filing for purposes of the
California Commercial Code with respect to the Related Goods which are or are to
become fixtures on the Land or Improvements.
(c) Absolute Assignment of Subleases, Issues, and Profits. Lessee hereby
irrevocably assigns to Lessor, for the benefit of the Lessor Parties, all of
Lessee's estate, right, title and interest in, to and under the Subleases and
the Issues and Profits, whether now owned or hereafter acquired. This is a
present and absolute assignment, not an assignment for security purposes only,
and Lessor's right to the Subleases and Issues and Profits is not contingent
upon, and may be exercised without possession of, the Property.
(i) If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Lessee shall have a revocable license to collect and retain the
Issues and Profits as they become due. Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, such license shall
automatically terminate, and Lessor may collect and apply the
Issues and Profits pursuant to Subparagraph 5.02(d) without
further notice to Lessee or any other party and without taking
possession of the Property. All Issues and Profits thereafter
collected by Lessee shall be held by lessee as trustee in a
constructive trust for the benefit of Lessor. Lessee hereby
irrevocably authorizes and directs the sublessees under the
Subleases, without any need on their part to inquire as to
whether an Event of Default has actually occurred or is then
existing, to rely upon and comply with any notice or demand by
Lessor for the payment to Lessor of any rental or other sums
which may become due under the Subleases or for the performance
of any of the sublessees' undertakings under the Subleases.
Collection of any Issues and Profits by Lessor shall not cure or
waive any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate
any acts done pursuant to such notice.
(ii) The foregoing irrevocable assignment shall not cause
any Lessor Party to be (A) a mortgagee in possession; (B)
responsible or liable for (1) the control, care, management or
repair of the Property or for performing any of Lessee's
obligations or duties under the Subleases, (2) any waste
committed on the Property by the sublessees under any of the
Subleases or by any other Persons, (3) any dangerous or defective
condition of the Property, or (4) any negligence in the
management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property resulting
in loss or injury or death to any sublessee, licensee, employee,
invitee or other Person; or (C) responsible for or impose upon
any Lessor Party any duty to produce rents or profits. No Lessor
Party, in the absence of gross negligence or willful disregard on
its part, shall be liable to Lessee as a consequence of (y) the
exercise or failure to exercise any of the rights, remedies or
powers granted to Lessor hereunder or (z) the failure or refusal
of Lessor to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or
liability of Lessee arising under the Subleases.

Casualty or Condemnation which arises or occurs prior to the Expiration Date or
while Lessee is in possession of the Property and all liability for all personal
injuries and deaths and damages to property suffered by any Person or property
on or in connection with the Property which arises or occurs prior to the
Expiration Date or while Lessee is in possession of the Property, except in each
case to the extent any such loss or liability is primarily caused by the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of a Lessor Party. Lessee hereby waives the
provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1932(1), 1932(2) and 1933(4), and
any and all other applicable existing or future Governmental Rules permitting
the termination of this Agreement as a result of any Casualty or Condemnation,

of any such event.
3.03. Insurance.
(a) Coverage. Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall carry
and maintain the following insurance coverage:
(i) At all times during the Term, commercial liability
insurance covering claims for injuries or death sustained by
persons or damage to property while on the Property, and

builders' risk insurance covering fire, flood and other normal
insured risks; and
(iv) At all times during the Term as appropriate, such
other insurance of the types customarily carried by a reasonably
prudent Person owning or operating properties similar to the
Property in the same geographic area as the Property;

construed to require Lessee to carry or maintain earthquake insurance
and (B) shall not require Lessee to carry or maintain flood insurance in

9
448

Person owning or operating properties similar to the Property in the
same geographic area as the Property.

pursuant to this Paragraph 3.03 shall be underwritten by an insurance

time of each renewal thereof, a general policyholder rating of "A" and a
financial rating of at least 9 from A.M. Best and Company or any
successor thereto (or if there is none, an organization having a similar
national reputation) or (ii) is otherwise approved by Lessor and
Required Participants; provided, however, that Lessee may, if no Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, self-insure.
(c) Terms. Each insurance policy maintained by Lessee pursuant
to this Paragraph 3.03 shall provide as follows, whether through
endorsements or otherwise:
(i) Lessor and Agent shall be named as additional
insureds, in the case of each policy of liability and property
insurance, and additional loss payees, in the case of each
policy of property insurance.
(ii) In respect of the interests of Lessor in the
policy, the insurance shall not be invalidated by any action or
by inaction of Lessee or by any Person having temporary
possession of the Property while under contract with Lessee to
perform maintenance, repair, alteration or similar work on the
Property, and shall insure the interests of Lessor regardless of
any breach or violation of any warranty, declaration or
condition contained in the insurance policy by Lessee, Lessor or
any other additional insured (other than by such additional
insured, as to such additional insured); provided, however, that
the foregoing shall not be deemed to (A) cause such insurance
policies to cover matters otherwise excluded from coverage by
the terms of such policies or (B) require any insurance to
remain in force notwithstanding non-payment of premiums except
as provided in clause (iii) below.
(iii) If the insurance policy is cancelled for any
reason whatsoever, or substantial change is made in the coverage
that affects the interests of Lessor, or if the insurance

against any Lessor Party.

limits of liability, shall operate in the same manner as if
there were a separate policy covering each insured party.
(ix) The insurance shall not be invalidated should
Lessee or any Lessor Party waive, in writing, prior to a loss,
any or all rights of recovery against any Person for losses
covered by such policy, nor shall the insurance in favor of any
Lessor Party or Lessee, as the case may be, or their respective
rights under and interests in said policies be invalidated or
reduced by any act or omission or negligence of any Lessee Party
or Lessor, as the case may be, or any other Person having any
interest in the Property.
(x) If the insurer has not received written notice from
Lessor that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
(A) all insurance proceeds in respect of any loss or occurrence
with a value of less than fifteen million Dollars ($15,000,000)
shall be paid to and adjusted solely by Lessee and (B) all other
insurance proceeds shall be paid to Lessor and adjusted jointly
by Lessor and Lessee. From and after the date on which the
insurer receives written notice from Lessor that an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing (and unless and until
such insurer receives written notice from Lessor that all Events
of Default have been cured), all losses shall be adjusted solely
by, and all insurance proceeds shall be paid solely to, Lessor.
(xi) Each policy shall contain a standard form mortgage
endorsement in favor of Lessor.
(d) Evidence of Insurance. Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall

compliance with the insurance requirements set forth in this Paragraph 3.03.
(e) Release of Lessor Parties. Lessee hereby waives, releases and
discharges each Lessor Party and its directors, officers, employees, agents and
advisors from all claims whatsoever arising out of any loss, claim, expense or
damage to or destruction covered or coverable by insurance required under this
Paragraph 3.03 to the extent the policies for such insurance permit such waiver,
notwithstanding that such loss, claim, expense or damage may have been caused by
any such Person, and, as among Lessee and such Persons, Lessee agrees to look to
the insurance coverage only in the event of such loss.
11
450
3.04. Casualty and Condemnation.
(a) Notice. Lessee shall give Lessor prompt written notice of the
occurrence of any Casualty affecting, or the institution of any proceedings for
the Condemnation of, the Property or any portion thereof.
(b) Repair or Purchase Option. After the occurrence of any Casualty or
Condemnation affecting the Property or any portion thereof, Lessee shall either
(i) repair and restore the Property as required by Subparagraph 3.04(c) or (ii)
exercise the Term Purchase Option and purchase the Property pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that Lessee may not elect to repair and
restore the Property if such casualty or condemnation is a Major Casualty or
Major Condemnation or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
unless Lessor and the Required Participants shall consent in writing. Not later
than one (1) month after the occurrence of any Casualty or Condemnation, Lessee
shall deliver to Lessor a written notice indicating whether it elects to repair
and restore or purchase the Property
(c) Repair and Restoration. If Lessee elects to repair and restore the
Property following any Casualty or Condemnation, Lessee shall diligently proceed
to repair and restore the Property to the condition in which it existed
immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation and shall use reasonable
efforts to complete all such repairs and restoration as soon as reasonably
practicable, but not later than six (6) months prior to the Scheduled Expiration
Date unless Lessee currently is exercising either the Term Purchase Option or
the Expiration Date Purchase Option,. Lessee shall use its own funds to make
such repairs and restoration, except to the extent any Casualty and Condemnation
Proceeds are available and are released to Lessee for such purpose pursuant to
Subparagraph 3.04(f). Lessee's exercise of the repair and restoration option
shall, if Lessor or Required Participants direct, be subject to satisfaction of
the following conditions within one (1) month after the occurrence of the
Casualty or Condemnation:
(i) Deposit in a deposit account acceptable to and controlled by
Lessor (a "Repair and Restoration Account") of funds (including any
Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds which are available and are released
to Lessee pursuant to Subparagraph 3.04(f)) in the amount which Lessor
determines is needed to complete and fully pay all costs of the repair
or restoration (including taxes, financing charges, insurance and rent
during the repair period);
(ii) The establishment of an arrangement for lien releases and
disbursement of funds acceptable to Lessor and in a manner and upon such
terms and conditions as would be required by a prudent interim
construction lender; and
(iii) The delivery to Lessor of the following, each in form and
substance acceptable to Lessor;
(A) Evidence that the Property can, in Lessor's
reasonable judgment, with diligent restoration or repair, be
returned to a condition at least equal to the condition thereof
that existed prior to the Casualty or
12
451
partial Condemnation causing the loss or damage within the
earlier to occur of (A) six (6) months after the occurrence of
the Casualty or Condemnation and (B) unless Lessee currently is
exercising either the Term Purchase Option or the Expiration
Date Purchase Option, six (6) months prior to the Scheduled
Expiration Date;
(B) Evidence that all necessary governmental approvals
can be timely obtained to allow the rebuilding and reoccupancy
of the Property;
(C) Copies of all plans and specifications for the work;
(D) Copies of all contracts for the work, signed by a
contractor reasonably acceptable to Lessor;
(E) A cost breakdown for the work;
(F) A payment and performance bond for the work or other
security satisfactory to Lender;
(G) Evidence that, upon completion of the work, the
size, capacity and total value of the Property will be at least
as great as it was before the Casualty or Condemnation occurred;
and
(H) Evidence of satisfaction of any additional
conditions that Lessor or Required Participants may reasonably
establish to protect their rights under this Agreement and the
other Operative Documents.
All plans and specifications for the work must be reasonably acceptable
to Lessor, except that Lessor's approval shall not be required if the
restoration work is based on the same plans and specifications as were
originally used to construct the Property. To the extent that the funds
in a Repair and Restoration Account include both Casualty and
Condemnation Proceeds and other funds deposited by Lessee, the other
funds deposited by Lessee shall be used first. Lessee acknowledges that
the specific conditions described above are reasonable.
(d) Prosecution of Claims for Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds. Lessee
shall proceed promptly and diligently to prosecute in good faith the settlement
or compromise of any and all claims for Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds;
provided, however, that any settlement or compromise of any such claim shall,
except as otherwise provided in clause (x) of Subparagraph 3.03(c), be subject
to the written consent of Lessor and Required Participants, which consents shall
not be unreasonably withheld. Lessor may participate in any proceedings relating
to such claims, and, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default, Lessor is hereby authorized, in its own name or in Lessee's
name, to adjust any loss covered by insurance or any Casualty or Condemnation
claim or cause of action, and to settle or compromise any claim or cause of
action in connection therewith, and Lessee shall from time to time deliver to
Lessor any and all further assignments and other instruments required to permit
such participation.
13
452
(e) Assignment of Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds. Lessee hereby
absolutely and irrevocably assigns to Lessor all Casualty and Condemnation
Proceeds and all claims relating thereto. Except as otherwise provided in clause
(x) of Subparagraph 3.03(c), Lessee agrees that all Casualty and Condemnation
Proceeds are to be paid to Lessor and Lessee hereby authorizes and directs any
insurer, Governmental Authority or other Person responsible for paying any
Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds to make payment thereof directly to Lessor
alone, and not to Lessor and Lessee jointly. If Lessee receives any Casualty and
Condemnation Proceeds payable to Lessor hereunder, Lessee shall promptly pay
over such Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds to Lessor. Lessee hereby covenants
that until such Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds are so paid over to Lessor,
Lessee shall hold such Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds in trust for the
benefit of Lessor and shall not commingle such Casualty and Condemnation
Proceeds with any other funds or assets of Lessee or any other Person. Except as
otherwise provided in clause (x) of Subparagraph 3.03(c), Lessor may commence,
appear in, defend or prosecute any assigned right, claim or action, and may
adjust, compromise, settle and collect all rights, claims and actions assigned
to Lessor, but shall not be responsible for any failure to collect any such
right, claim or action, regardless of the cause of the failure.
(f) Use of Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds.
(i) If (A) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
(B) Lessee exercises the repair and restoration option pursuant to
Subparagraphs 3.04(b) and 3.04(c) and (C) Lessee complies with any
conditions imposed pursuant to Subparagraph 3.04(c); then Lessor shall
release any Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds to Lessee for repair or
restoration of the Property, but may condition such release and use of
the Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds upon deposit of the Casualty and
Condemnation Proceeds in a Repair and Restoration Account. Lessor shall
have the option, upon the completion of such restoration of the
Property, to apply any surplus Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds
remaining after the completion of such restoration to the payment of
Rent and/or the reduction of the Outstanding Lease Amount,
notwithstanding that such amounts are not then due and payable or that
such amounts are otherwise adequately secured.
(ii) If (A) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
(B) Lessee fails to or is unable to comply with any conditions imposed
pursuant to Subparagraph 3.04(c) or (C) Lessee elects to exercise the
Term Purchase Option and purchase the Property pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement; then, at the absolute discretion of Lessor and the Required
Participants, regardless of any impairment of security or lack of
impairment of security, but subject to applicable Governmental Rules
governing use of Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds, if any, Lessor may
(1) apply all or any of the Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds it

Lessee shall promptly pay when due all Indemnified Taxes imposed on or payable
by Lessee or any Lessor Party in connection with the Property, this Agreement or
any of the other Operative Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby. As promptly as possible after any Indemnified Taxes are
payable by Lessee, Lessee shall send to Lessor for the account of the applicable
Lessor Party a certified copy of an original official receipt received by Lessee
showing payment thereof. If Lessee fails to pay any such Indemnified Taxes when
due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to Lessor the required
receipts or other required documentary evidence, Lessee shall indemnify the
Lessor Parties for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become
payable by the Lessor Parties as a result of any such failure. The obligations

the Lessee Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
3.06. Environmental Matters.
(a) Lessee's Covenants. Lessee shall not cause or permit
Hazardous Materials to be used, generated, manufactured, stored,
treated, disposed of, transported or present on or released or
discharged from the Property in any manner that is reasonably likely to
have a Material Adverse Effect. Lessee may use Hazardous Materials in
connection with the operation of its business (or the business of
permitted subtenants) so long as such use is consistent with the
preceding sentence. Lessee shall immediately notify Lessor in writing of
(i) the discovery of any Hazardous Materials on, under or about the
Property; (ii) any knowledge by Lessee that the Property does not comply
with any Environmental Laws; (iii) any claims against Lessee or the
Property relating to Hazardous Materials or pursuant to Environmental
Laws; and (iv) the discovery of any occurrence or condition on any real
property adjoining or in the vicinity of the Property that could cause
the Property or any part thereof to be designated as "border zone
property" under the provisions of California Health and Safety Code
Sections 25220 et seq. or any regulation adopted in accordance
therewith. In response to the presence of any Hazardous Materials on,
under or about the Property, Lessee shall immediately take, at Lessee's
sole expense, all remedial action required by any Environmental Laws or
any judgment, consent decree, settlement or compromise in respect to any
claim based thereon.
15
454
(b) Inspection By Lessor. Upon reasonable prior notice to
Lessee, Lessor, its employees and agents, may from time to time (whether
before or after the commencement of a nonjudicial or judicial
foreclosure proceeding), enter and inspect the Property for the purpose
of determining the existence, location, nature and magnitude of any past
or present release or threatened release of any Hazardous Materials
into, onto, beneath or from the Property.
(c) Indemnity. Without in any way limiting any other indemnity
contained in this Agreement or any other Operative Document, Lessee
agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Lessor Parties and the
other Indemnitees from and against any claim, loss, damage, cost,
expense or liability directly or indirectly arising out of (i) the use,
generation, manufacture, storage, treatment, release, threatened
release, discharge, disposal, transportation or presence of any
Hazardous Materials which are found in, on, under or about the Property
or (ii) the breach of any covenant, representation or warranty of Lessee
relating to Hazardous Materials or Environmental Laws contained in this
Agreement or any Operative Document. This indemnity shall include (A)
the costs, whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, of any investigation,
repair, cleanup or detoxification of the Property which is required by
any Governmental Authority or is otherwise necessary to render the
Property in compliance with all Environmental Laws; (B) all other direct
or indirect consequential damages (including any third party claims,
claims by any Governmental Authority, or any fines or penalties against
the Indemnitees; and (C) all court costs and attorneys' fees (including
expert witness fees and the cost of any consultants) paid or incurred by
the Indemnitees. Lessee shall pay immediately upon Lessor's demand any
amounts owing under this indemnity. Lessee shall use legal counsel
reasonably acceptable to Lessor in any action or proceeding arising
under this indemnity. The obligations of Lessee under this Subparagraph
3.06(c) shall survive the payment and performance of the Lessee
Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
(d) Legal Effect of Section. Lessee and Lessor agree that (i)
this Paragraph 3.06 and clause (i) of Subparagraph 4.01(s) of the
Participation Agreement are intended as Lessor's written request for
information (and Lessee's response) concerning the environmental
condition of the real property security as required by California Code
of Civil Procedure Section 726.5 and (ii) each representation and
warranty and covenant herein and therein (together with any indemnity
applicable to a breach of any such representation and warranty) with
respect to the environmental condition of the Property is intended by
Lessor and Lessee to be an "environmental provision" for purposes of
California Code of Civil Procedure Section 736.
3.07. Liens, Easements, Etc.
(a) Lessee's Covenants. Subject to Paragraph 3.12 relating to

(vi) Lessor Liens.
Subject to Paragraph 3.12 relating to permitted contests, Lessee
shall promptly (A) pay all Indebtedness of Lessee and other obligations
prior to the time the non-payment thereof would give rise to a Lien on
the Property and (B) discharge, at its sole cost and expense, any Lien
on the Property which is not a Permitted Property Lien.
(b) No Consents. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
construed as constituting the consent or request of any Lessor Party,
express or implied, to or for the performance by any contractor,
mechanic, laborer, materialman, supplier or vendor of any labor or
services or for the furnishing of any materials for any construction,
alteration, addition, repair or demolition of or to the Property or any
part thereof. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT NO LESSOR PARTY IS OR SHALL BE
LIABLE FOR ANY LABOR, SERVICES OR MATERIALS FURNISHED OR TO BE FURNISHED
TO LESSEE, OR TO ANYONE HOLDING THE PROPERTY OR ANY PART THEREOF THROUGH

subject to and subordinated to this Agreement; (c) each sublease has a term

purchases the Property on the Expiration Date pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement); (d) each sublease prohibits the sublessee from engaging in any
activities on the Property other than those permitted by Paragraph 2.04; and (e)
no sublease has a Material Adverse Effect. Any sublease which does not satisfy
each of the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence shall be null and
void as to the Lessor Parties and their
17
456
successor and assigns. Except for such permitted subleases, Lessee shall not
assign any of its rights or interests under this Agreement to any other Person.

compliance therewith shall require structural or extraordinary changes in the
Improvements or interfere with the use and enjoyment of the Property), and (b)
procure, maintain and comply with all licenses, permits, orders, approvals,
consents and other authorizations required for the construction, use,
maintenance and operation of the Property and for the use, operation,
maintenance, repair and restoration of the Improvements.

contest any alleged Lien or easement on any of the Property or any alleged
Governmental Charge, Indebtedness or other obligation which is payable by Lessee
hereunder to Persons other than the Lessor Parties or which, if unpaid, would
give rise to a Lien on any of the Property, provided that (a) each such contest
is diligently pursued in good faith by appropriate proceedings; (b) the
commencement and continuation of such proceedings suspends the enforcement of
such Lien or easement or the collection of such Governmental Charge,
Indebtedness or obligation; (c) Lessee has established adequate reserves for the

Option, any such contest is completed and such Lien or easement is discharged
(either pursuant to such proceedings or otherwise) or such Governmental Charge,
Indebtedness or obligation is declared invalid, paid or otherwise satisfied not
later than six (6) months prior to the Scheduled Expiration Date.

shall pay and perform all of its other Lessee Obligations under this Agreement
and the other Operative Documents in the same manner as though the Term had not

Property and the rights and remedies of the Lessor Parties under this
Agreement and the other Operative Documents, including (i) taking and

(ii) entering into, enforcing, modifying, or canceling subleases on such

power or remedy permitted to it by any applicable Governmental Rule,
either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both.
5.03. Lease Remedies. If the transaction evidenced by this Agreement and
the other Operative Documents is treated as a lease, upon the occurrence or
existence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter unless such Event
of Default is waived, Lessor may, with the consent of the Required Participants,
or shall, upon instructions from the Required Participants, exercise any one or
more of the following rights and remedies in addition to those rights and
remedies set forth in Paragraph 5.02:
(a) Termination of Lease. Lessor may, by written notice to
Lessee, terminate this Agreement on a Termination Date which is prior to
the Scheduled Expiration Date, subject to Subparagraph 3.02(1) of the
Purchase Agreement. Such Termination Date shall be the last day of a
Rental Period unless Required Participants shall otherwise direct. On
such Termination Date (which shall then be the Expiration Date), Lessee
shall pay all unpaid Base Rent accrued through such date, all
Supplemental Rent due and payable on or prior to such date and all other
amounts payable by Lessee on the Expiration Date pursuant to this
Agreement and the other Operative Documents. Lessee also shall pay to
Lessor, in addition to all accrued Base Rent, the worth at the time of
such payment of the amount by which the unpaid Base Rent through the
Scheduled Expiration Date exceeds the amount of such rental loss for the
same period that Lessee proves could reasonably be avoided.
(b) Continuation of Lease. Lessor may exercise the rights and
remedies provided by California Civil Code Section 1951.4, including the
right to continue this Agreement in effect after Lessee's breach and
abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due. Acts of maintenance or
preservation, efforts to relet the Property, the
23
462
appointment of a receiver upon Lessor's initiative to protect its
interest under this Agreement or withholding consent to or terminating a
sublease shall not of themselves constitute a termination of Lessee's
right to possession.
(c) Removal and Storage of Property. Lessor may enter the
Property and remove therefrom all Persons and property, store such
property in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the
account of Lessee and sell such property and apply the proceeds
therefrom pursuant to applicable California law.
5.04. Loan Remedies. If the transaction evidenced by this Agreement and
the other Operative Documents is treated as a loan, upon the occurrence or
existence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter unless such Event
of Default is waived, Lessor may, with the consent of the Required Participants,
or shall, upon instructions from the Required Participants, exercise any one or
more of the following rights and remedies in addition to those rights and
remedies set forth in Paragraph 5.02:
(a) Acceleration of Lessee Obligations. Lessor may, by written
notice to Lessee, terminate this Agreement on a Termination Date which
is prior to the Scheduled Expiration Date, subject to Subparagraph
3.02(1) of the Purchase Agreement, and declare all unpaid Lessee
Obligations due and payable on such Termination Date. Such Termination
Date shall be the last day of a Rental Period unless Required
Participants shall otherwise direct. On such Termination Date (which
shall then be the Expiration Date), Lessee shall pay all unpaid Base
Rent accrued through such date, all Supplemental Rent due and payable on
or prior to such date and all other amounts payable by Lessee on the
Expiration Date pursuant to this Agreement and the other Operative
Documents.
(b) Uniform Commercial Code Remedies. Lessor may exercise any or
all of the remedies granted to a secured party under the California
Uniform Commercial Code.
(c) Judicial Foreclosure. Lessor may bring an action in any
court of competent jurisdiction to foreclose the security interest in
the Property granted to Lessor by this Agreement or any of the other
Operative Documents.
(d) Power of Sale. Lessor may cause some or all of the Property,
including any Personal Property Collateral, to be sold under a power of
sale or otherwise disposed of in any combination and in any manner
permitted by applicable Governmental Rules.
(i) Sales of Personal Property. Lessor may dispose of any
Personal Property Collateral separately from the sale of Real
Property Collateral, in any manner permitted by Division 9 of the
California Uniform Commercial Code, including any public or
private sale, or in any manner permitted by any other applicable
Governmental Rule. Any proceeds of any such disposition shall not
cure any Event of Default or reinstate any Lessee Obligation for
purposes of Section 2924c of the California Civil Code. In
connection with any such sale or other disposition, Lessee agrees
that the following procedures constitute a commercially
reasonable sale:
24
463
(A) Lessor shall mail written notice of the sale
to Lessee not later than thirty (30) days prior to such
sale.
(B) Once per week during the three (3) weeks
immediately preceding such sale, Lessor will publish
notice of the sale in a local daily newspaper of general
circulation.
(C) Upon receipt of any written request, Lessor
will make the Property available to any bona fide
prospective purchaser for inspection during reasonable
business hours.
(D) Notwithstanding, Lessor shall be under no
obligation to consummate a sale if, in its judgment,
none of the offers received by it equals the fair value
of the Property offered for sale.
(E) If Lessor so requests, Lessee shall assemble
all of the Personal Property Collateral and make it
available to Lessor at the site of the Land. Regardless
of any provision of this Agreement or any other
Operative Document, Lessor shall not be considered to
have accepted any property other than cash or
immediately available funds in satisfaction of any
Lessee Obligation, unless Lessor has given express
written notice of its election of that remedy in
accordance with California Uniform Commercial Code
Section 9505.
The foregoing procedures do not constitute the only procedures
that may be commercially reasonable.
(ii) Lessor's Sales of Real Property or Mixed Collateral.
Lessor may choose to dispose of some or all of the Property which
consists solely of Real Property Collateral in any manner then
permitted by applicable Governmental Rules, including without
limitation a nonjudicial trustee's sale pursuant to California
Civil Code xx.xx. 2924 et seq. In its discretion, Lessor may also
or alternatively choose to dispose of some or all of the
Property, in any combination consisting of both Real Property
Collateral and Personal Property Collateral, together in one sale
to be held in accordance with the law and procedures applicable
to real property, as permitted by Section 9501(4) of the
California Uniform Commercial Code. Lessee agrees that such a
sale of Personal Property Collateral together with Real Property
Collateral constitutes a commercially reasonable sale of the
Personal Property Collateral. (For purposes of this power of
sale, either a sale of Real Property Collateral alone, or a sale
of both Real Property Collateral and Personal Property Collateral
together in accordance with California Uniform Commercial Code
Section 9501(4), will sometimes be referred to as a "Lessor's
Sale.")
(A) Before any Lessor's Sale, Lessor shall give such
notice of default and election to sell as may then be required
by applicable Governmental Rules.
25
464
(B) When all time periods then legally mandated have
expired, and after such notice of sale as may then be legally
required has been given, Lessor shall sell the property being
sold at a public auction to be held at the time and place
specified in the notice of sale.
(C) Neither Lessor nor Agent shall have any obligation
to make demand on Lessee before any Lessor's Sale.
(D) From time to time in accordance with then applicable
law, Lessor may postpone any Lessor's Sale by public
announcement at the time and place noticed for that sale.
(E) At any Lessor's Sale, Lessor shall sell to the
highest bidder at public auction for cash in lawful money of the
United States.
(F) Lessor shall execute and deliver to the purchaser(s)
a deed or deeds conveying the Property being sold without any
covenant or warranty whatsoever, express or implied. The
recitals in any such deed of any matters or facts, including any
facts bearing upon the regularity or validity of any Lessor's
Sale, shall be conclusive proof of their truthfulness. Any such
deed shall be conclusive against all Persons as to the facts
recited in it.
(e) Foreclosure Sales.
(i) Single or Multiple. If the Property consists of more
than one lot, parcel or item of property, Lessor may:
(A) Designate the order in which the lots,
parcels and/or items shall be sold or disposed of or
offered for sale or disposition; and
(B) Elect to dispose of the lots, parcels and/or
items through a single consolidated sale or disposition
to be held or made under the power of sale granted in
Subparagraph 5.04(d), or in connection with judicial
proceedings, or by virtue of a judgment and decree of
foreclosure and sale; or through two or more such sales
or dispositions; or in any other manner Lessor may deem
to be in its best interests (any such sale or
disposition, a "Foreclosure Sale;" any two or more, "
Foreclosure Sales").
If Lessor chooses to have more than one Foreclosure Sale, Lessor
at its option may cause the Foreclosure Sales to be held
simultaneously or successively, on the same day, or on such
different days and at such different times and in such order as
it may deem to be in its best interests. No Foreclosure Sale
shall terminate or affect the security interests granted to
Lessor in the Property by this Agreement on any part of the
Property which has not been sold, until all of the Lessee
Obligations have been paid in full.
26
465
(ii) Credit Bids. At any Foreclosure Sale, any Person, including
any Lessor Party, may bid for and acquire the Property or any part of it
to the extent permitted by then applicable Governmental Rules. Instead
of paying cash for that property, Lessor may settle for the purchase
price by crediting the sales price of the Property against the Lessee
Obligations in any order and proportions as Lessor in its sole
discretion may choose.
5.05. Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of Lessor under this
Agreement and the other Operative Documents are cumulative and may be exercised
singularly, successively, or together.
5.06. No Cure or Waiver. Neither the performance by Lessor of any of
Lessee's obligations pursuant to Paragraph 3.13 nor the exercise by Lessor of
any of its other rights and remedies under this Agreement or any other Operative
Document (including the collection of Issues and Profits and the application
thereof to the Lessee Obligations) shall constitute a cure or waiver of any
Default or nullify the effect of any notice of default or sale, unless and until
all Lessee Obligations are paid in full.
5.07. Exercise of Rights and Remedies. The rights and remedies provided
to Lessor under this Agreement may be exercised by Lessor itself, by Agent
pursuant to Subparagraph 2.02(c) of the Participation Agreement, by a
court-appointed receiver or by any other Person appointed by any of the
foregoing to act on its behalf. All of the benefits afforded to Lessor under
this Agreement and the other Operative Documents shall accrue to the benefit of
Agent to the extent provided in Subparagraph 2.02(c) of the Participation
Agreement.
SECTION 6. MISCELLANEOUS.
6.01. Notices. Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices,
requests, demands, consents, instructions or other communications to or upon
Lessee or Lessor under this Agreement shall be given as provided in Subparagraph
2.02(c) and Paragraph 7.01 of the Participation Agreement.
6.02. Waivers; Amendments. Any term, covenant, agreement or condition of
this Agreement may be amended or waived only as provided in the Participation
Agreement. No failure or delay by any Lessor Party in exercising any right
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other further exercise
thereof or of any other right. Unless otherwise specified in any such waiver or
consent, a waiver or consent given hereunder shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
6.03. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Lessor Parties and Lessee and their permitted
successors and assigns; provided, however, that the Lessor Parties and Lessee
shall not sell, assign or delegate their respective rights and obligations
hereunder except as provided in the Participation Agreement.
27
466
6.04. No Third Party Rights. Nothing expressed in or to be implied from
this Agreement is intended to give, or shall be construed to give, any Person,
other than the Lessor Parties and Lessee and their permitted successors and
assigns, any benefit or legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by
virtue of this Agreement or under or by virtue of any provision herein.
6.05. Partial Invalidity. If at any time any provision of this Agreement
is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the law or
any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Agreement nor the legality, validity or
enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction shall
in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
6.06. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of California without reference to
conflicts of law rules.
6.07. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
identical counterparts, any set of which signed by all the parties hereto shall
be deemed to constitute a complete, executed original for all purposes.
6.08. Nature of Lessee's Obligations.
(a) Independent Obligation. The obligation of Lessee to pay the amounts
payable by Lessee under this Agreement and the other Operative Documents and to
perform the other Lessee Obligation are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable
obligations which are separate and independent of the obligations of the Lessor
Parties under this Agreement and the other Operative Documents and all other
events and circumstances, including the events and circumstances set forth in
Subparagraph 6.08(c).
(b) No Termination or Abatement. This Agreement and the other Operative
Documents and Lessee's obligation to pay Rent and to pay and perform all other
Lessee Obligations shall continue in full force and effect without abatement
notwithstanding the occurrence or existence of any event or circumstance,
including any event or circumstance set forth in Subparagraph 6.08(c).
(c) Full Payment and Performance. Lessee shall make all payments under
this Agreement and the other Operative Documents in the full amounts and at the
times required by the terms of this Agreement and the other Operative Documents
without setoff, deduction or reduction of any kind and shall perform all other
Lessee Obligations as and when required, without regard to any event or
circumstances whatsoever, including (i) the condition of the Property (including
any Improvements to the Property made prior to the Commencement Date or during
the Term); (ii) title to the Property (including possession of the Property by

exercise by any Lessor Party of any of its remedies under this Agreement or any
other Operative Document; provided however, that this Paragraph 6.08 shall not
abrogate any right which Lessee may have to recover damages from any Lessor
Party for any material breach by such Lessor Party of its obligations under this
Agreement or any other Operative Document to the extent permitted hereunder or
thereunder.
