less than three (3) days notice to Tenant for the purpose of inspecting the Leased Premises,
verifying compliance or non-compliance by Tenant with its obligations hereunder and the existence
or non-existence of an Event of Default or event which with the passage of time and/or notice would
constitute an Event of Default, showing the Leased Premises to prospective Lenders and purchasers
and taking such other action with respect to the Leased Premises as is permitted by any provision
hereof.

shall be equal to Basic Rent for the Leased Premises for such Renewal Term multiplied by the
Premises Percentage Allocation for the Leased Premises that shall remain subject to this Lease
after the termination of this Lease with respect to any Withdrawn Premises.
(c) If Tenant does not exercise its option pursuant to Paragraph 5(b) to extend the Term or

transfer instructions delivered to Tenant from time to time at such addresses and in such
proportions as Landlord may direct by fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to Tenant.

and inconvenience incurred as a result of Tenant’s delinquency, provided, however, that with
respect to the first late payment of all or any portion of any installment of Basic Rent in any
Lease Year, the Late Charge shall not be due and payable unless the Basic Rent has not been paid
within five (5) days’ following the due date thereof;
(iii) a sum equal to any additional sums (including any late charge in excess of the amount

affected by any event or for any reason or cause whatsoever foreseen or unforeseen.
-12-

thereof, Tenant shall pay amounts equal thereto), and the obligations of Tenant hereunder shall
continue unaffected unless the requirement to pay or perform the same shall have been terminated
pursuant to an express provision of this Lease. The obligation to pay Rent or amounts equal
thereto shall not be affected by any collection of rents by any governmental body pursuant to a tax
lien or otherwise, even though such obligation results in a double payment of Rent. All Rent
payable by Tenant hereunder shall constitute “rent” for all purposes (including Section
502(b)(6) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code).
(d) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Tenant shall have no right and hereby
waives all rights which it may have under any Law (i) to quit, terminate or surrender this Lease or

9. Payment of Impositions.
(a) Tenant shall, before interest or penalties are due thereon, pay and discharge all taxes
(including real property, personal property owned by Tenant, franchise, sales, use, gross receipts

Leased Premises, all assessments and levies, all permit, inspection and license fees, all rents and
charges for water, sewer, utility and communication services relating to any of the Leased
Premises, all ground rents and all other public charges whether of a like or different nature, even
if unforeseen or extraordinary, imposed upon or assessed against (i) Tenant, (ii) Tenant’s
possessory interest in the Leased Premises, (iii) any of the Leased Premises or (iv) Landlord as a
result of or arising in respect of the acquisition, ownership, occupancy, leasing, use, possession
or sale of any of the Leased Premises, any activity conducted on any of the Leased Premises, or the
Rent (collectively, the “Impositions”); provided, that nothing herein shall obligate Tenant
to pay (A) income, excess profits or other taxes of Landlord (or Lender) which are determined on
the basis of Landlord’s (or Lender’s) net income or net worth (unless such taxes are in lieu of or
a substitute for any other tax, assessment or other charge upon or with respect to the Leased
Premises which, if it were in effect, would be payable by Tenant under the provisions hereof or by
the terms of such tax, assessment or other charge), (B) any estate, inheritance, succession, gift
or similar tax imposed on Landlord, (C) any capital gains tax or real property transfer or
intangibles taxes imposed on Landlord in connection with the sale of the Leased Premises to any
Person (unless the payment of any such taxes is a term of the LOI under Paragraph 35(a)) imposed on
Landlord in connection with the sale of the Leased Premises to any Person or (D) taxes of Landlord
unrelated to the ownership, use and leasing of the Leased Premises or (E) any increases in real
estate taxes by the applicable taxing authority but only if the increase is solely as a result of a
sale or transfer of the Leased Premises (or a sale or transfer of any Person’s ownership interests
in Landlord) prior to the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Commencement Date to Person
that is not an affiliate of Corporate Property Associates 16 — Global Incorporated or subject to
an advisory agreement with W. P. Xxxxx & Co. LLC or its Subsidiary (a “Landlord Triggered
Reassessment”), provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
clause “(E)” , (1) until and including the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Commencement
Date, (x) Tenant shall be required to pay any increases in real estate taxes caused solely by a
Landlord Triggered Reassessment to the extent such increase does not exceed twenty percent (20%) of
the real estate taxes in effect immediately prior to such reassessment and (y) Landlord shall be
required to pay any increase to the extent such increase is in excess of twenty percent (20%) of
the real estate taxes in effect immediately prior to such reassessment, (2) after the tenth
(10th) anniversary of the Commencement Date Tenant will be required to pay the entire
amount of any increase in real estate taxes with respect to the Leased Premises irrespective of
whether such increase was caused solely by a Landlord Triggered Reassessment, and (3) if after a
Landlord Triggered Reassessment, any Related Premises is subject to a reassessment that is not a
Landlord Triggered Reassessment, Tenant will again be required to
-13-
pay all real estate taxes with respect to such Related Premises, including all increases,
provided that nothing herein shall prevent Tenant from applying for tax abatement treatment from
the relevant taxing authority. Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to pay, together
with scheduled installments of Basic Rent, the amount of the gross receipts or rent tax, if any,
payable with respect to the amount of such installment of Basic Rent. If any Imposition may be
paid in installments without interest or penalty, Tenant shall have the option to pay such
Imposition in installments; in such event, Tenant shall be liable only for those installments which
accrue or become due and payable during the Term. Tenant shall prepare and file all tax reports
required by governmental authorities which relate to the Impositions. Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord (1) copies of all settlements and notices pertaining to the Impositions which may be
issued by any governmental authority within ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt thereof, (2)
receipts for payment of all taxes required to be paid by Tenant hereunder within thirty (30) days
after the due date thereof and (3) receipts for payment of all other Impositions within ten (10)
days after Landlord’s request therefor.
(b) If required by Lender following the occurrence of an Event of Default under Paragraph
22(a)(i), Tenant shall pay to Landlord such amounts (each an “Escrow Payment”) monthly or
as required by such Lender (but not more often than monthly) so that there shall be in an escrow
account an amount sufficient to pay the Escrow Charges (as hereinafter defined) as they become due.
As used herein, “Escrow Charges” shall mean real estate taxes and assessments on or with
respect to the Leased Premises or payments in lieu thereof and premiums on any insurance required
by this Lease. Landlord shall determine the amount of the Escrow Charges (it being agreed that if
required by a Lender, such amount shall equal any corresponding escrow installments required to be
paid by Landlord) and the amount of each Escrow Payment. If the Escrow Payments are held by or on
behalf of a Lender, the Escrow Payments may be commingled with other funds held by or on behalf of
Lender, and, with respect to Escrow Payments for taxes and insurance, no interest thereon shall be
due or payable to Tenant. Landlord shall apply the Escrow Payments to the payment of the Escrow
Charges in such order or priority as Landlord shall determine or as required by Law. If at any
time the Escrow Payments theretofore paid to Landlord shall be insufficient for the payment of the
Escrow Charges, Tenant, within ten (10) days after Landlord’s demand therefor, which shall include
written verification of such deficiency, shall pay the amount of the deficiency to Landlord.
10. Compliance with Laws and Easement Agreements; Environmental Matters.
(a) Tenant shall, at its expense, comply with and conform to, and cause the Leased Premises
and any other Person occupying any part of the Leased Premises to comply with and conform in all
Material respects, to all Insurance Requirements and Legal Requirements (including all applicable
Environmental Laws). Tenant shall not at any time (i) cause, permit or suffer to occur any
Material Environmental Violation or (ii) permit any sublessee, assignee or other Person occupying
the Leased Premises under or through Tenant to cause, permit or suffer to occur any Material
Environmental Violation and, at the request of Landlord or Lender, Tenant shall promptly remediate
or undertake any other appropriate response action to correct any existing Material Environmental
Violation and (iii) without the prior written consent of Landlord and Lender, permit any drilling
or exploration for or extraction, removal, or production of any minerals from the surface or the
subsurface of the Land, regardless of the depth thereof or the method of mining or extraction
thereof. Any and all reports prepared for or by Landlord with respect to the Leased Premises shall
be provided to Tenant, but shall be for the sole benefit of Landlord and Lender and no other Person
shall have the right to rely on any such reports.
(b) Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, will at all times promptly and faithfully abide by,
discharge and perform all of the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in any Easement
Agreement on the part of Landlord or the occupier to be kept and
-14-
performed thereunder. Tenant will not alter, modify, amend or terminate any Easement
Agreement, give any consent or approval thereunder, or enter into any new Easement Agreement
without, in each case, prior written consent of Landlord.
(c) Upon prior written notice from Landlord, Tenant shall permit such persons as Landlord may
designate (“Site Reviewers”) to visit the Leased Premises upon at least three (3) days
notice to Tenant during normal business hours and in a manner which does not unreasonably interfere
with Tenant’s operations and perform, as agents of Tenant, an non-intrusive environmental site
investigation or environmental compliance audit and, upon a finding in such non-intrusive
environmental site investigation or environmental compliance audit that additional testing is
warranted, Phase II environmental site investigations and assessments (“Site Assessments”)
on the Leased Premises in any of the following circumstances: (i) in connection with any sale,
financing or refinancing of the Leased Premises, (ii) not more than once within the six month
period prior to the expiration of the Term, (iii) if required by Lender or the terms of any credit
facility to which Landlord is bound, (iv) if an Event of Default exists, or (v) at any other time
that, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord or Lender, a reasonable basis exists to believe that an
Environmental Violation or any condition that could reasonably be expected to result in any
Environmental Violation exists provided that any Environmental Assessment conducted pursuant to
this clause “(v)” shall be limited in scope to the matters giving rise to Landlord’s request. Such
Site Assessments may include both above and below the ground testing for Environmental Violations
and such other tests as may be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of the Site Reviewers, to
conduct the Site Assessments, provided that Landlord shall reasonably consult with Tenant regarding
any determination to conduct such testing and reasonably take into account Tenant’s views and
proposals with respect to the conduct of such testing. Tenant shall supply to the Site Reviewers
such historical and operational information regarding the Leased Premises as may be reasonably
requested by the Site Reviewers to facilitate the Site Assessments, and shall make available for
meetings with the Site Reviewers appropriate personnel having knowledge of such matters. The cost
of performing and reporting Site Assessments shall be paid by Landlord unless an Environmental
Violation is found to exist, in which event the reasonable cost shall be paid by Tenant.
(d) If an Environmental Violation occurs or is found to exist and, in Landlord’s reasonable
judgment, the cost of remediation of, or other response action with respect to, the same is likely
to exceed $500,000, Tenant shall provide to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s
request therefor, adequate financial assurances that Tenant will effect such remediation in
accordance with applicable Environmental Laws. Such financial assurances shall be a bond or letter
of credit, assignment of escrow rights, or other form of security reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord in form and substance and in an amount equal to or greater than Landlord’s reasonable
estimate, based upon a Site Assessment performed pursuant to Paragraph 10(c), of the anticipated
cost of such remedial action.
(e) If Tenant fails, upon written notice from Landlord to promptly commence to comply with,
and diligently pursue the completion of, any requirement of any Environmental Law in connection
with any Material Environmental Violation which occurs or is found to exist, Landlord shall have
the right (but no obligation) to take any and all reasonable actions as Landlord shall deem
necessary or advisable in order to cure such Material Environmental Violation. During any such
extension the Basic Rent for the Impaired Premises to be paid under this Paragraph 10(f) shall be
the Basic Rent otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the Leased Premises multiplied by a
percentage equal to the sum of the Premises Percentage Allocation for the Impaired Premises.
(f) Tenant shall notify Landlord promptly after becoming aware of any Environmental Violation
(or alleged Environmental Violation) or noncompliance with any of the covenants contained in this
Paragraph 10 and shall forward to Landlord promptly upon receipt
-15-
thereof copies of all material orders, reports, notices, permits, applications or other
communications relating to any such violation or noncompliance.
(g) All future leases, subleases or concession agreements relating to the Leased Premises
entered into by Tenant shall contain covenants of the other party thereto which are identical to
the covenants contained in Paragraph 10(a).
11. Liens; Recording.
(a) Tenant shall not, directly or indirectly, create or permit to be created or to remain and
shall promptly discharge, bond or remove any lien, levy or encumbrance on any of the Leased
Premises or on any Rent or any other sums payable by Tenant under this Lease, other than any
Mortgage or Assignment, the Permitted Encumbrances and any mortgage, lien, encumbrance or other
charge created by or resulting solely from any act or omission of Landlord or any of its
affiliates. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT LANDLORD SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LABOR, SERVICES OR
MATERIALS FURNISHED OR TO BE FURNISHED TO TENANT OR TO ANYONE HOLDING OR OCCUPYING ANY OF THE
LEASED PREMISES THROUGH OR UNDER TENANT, AND THAT NO MECHANICS’ OR OTHER LIENS FOR ANY SUCH LABOR,
SERVICES OR MATERIALS SHALL ATTACH TO OR AFFECT THE INTEREST OF LANDLORD IN AND TO ANY OF THE
LEASED PREMISES. LANDLORD MAY AT ANY TIME POST ANY NOTICES ON THE LEASED PREMISES REGARDING SUCH
NON-LIABILITY OF LANDLORD. LANDLORD AND TENANT AGREE THAT TENANT IS NOT AN AGENT OF THE LANDLORD
AND HAS NO AUTHORITY TO BIND THE LANDLORD’S INTEREST IN THE LEASED PREMISES WITH RESPECT TO
ALTERATIONS OR OTHER WORK DONE OR MATERIALS SUPPLIED TO THE LEASED PREMISES BY TENANT PURSUANT TO
THIS LEASE OR OTHERWISE.
(b) Tenant shall execute, deliver and record, file or register (collectively,
“record”) all such instruments as may be required or permitted by any present or future Law
in order to evidence the respective interests of Landlord and Tenant in any of the Leased Premises,
and shall cause a memorandum of this Lease (or, if such a memorandum cannot be recorded, this
Lease), and any supplement hereto or thereto, to be recorded in such manner and in such places as
may be required or permitted by any present or future Law in order to protect the validity and
priority of this Lease.
12. Maintenance and Repair.
(a) Tenant shall at all times maintain each Related Premises and the Adjoining Property in as
good repair and appearance and fit to be used for their intended use in accordance with the better
of the practices generally recognized as then acceptable by other companies in its industry or
observed by Tenant with respect to the other real properties owned or operated by it, and, in the
case of the Equipment, in as good mechanical condition as it was on the later of the date hereof or
the date of its installation, except for ordinary wear and tear. Tenant shall take every other
action necessary or appropriate for the preservation and safety of each Related Premises. Tenant
shall promptly make all Alterations of every kind and nature, whether foreseen or unforeseen, which
may be required to comply with the foregoing requirements of this Paragraph 12(a). Landlord shall
not be required to make any Alteration, whether foreseen or unforeseen, or to maintain any of the
Related Premises or Adjoining Property in any way, and Tenant hereby expressly waives any right
which may be provided for in any Law now or hereafter in effect to make Alterations at the expense
of Landlord or to require Landlord to make Alterations. Any Alteration made by Tenant pursuant to
this Paragraph 12 shall be made in conformity with the provisions of Paragraph 13.
-16-

any property, street or right-of-way adjoining any of the Leased Premises, (ii) violate the
provisions of any restrictive covenant affecting any of the Leased Premises, (iii) hinder or
obstruct any easement or right-of-way to which any of the Leased Premises is subject or (iv) impair
the rights of others in, to or under any of the foregoing, Tenant shall, promptly after receiving
notice or otherwise acquiring knowledge thereof, either (A) obtain from all necessary parties
waivers or settlements of all claims, liabilities and damages resulting from each such
encroachment, violation, hindrance, obstruction or impairment, whether the same shall affect
Landlord, Tenant or both, or (B) take such action as shall be necessary to remove all such
encroachments, hindrances or obstructions and to end all such violations or impairments, including,
if necessary, making Alterations.
13. Alterations and Improvements.
(a) Tenant shall have the right, without having obtained the prior written consent of Landlord
or Lender and provided that no Event of Default then exists, (i) to make non-structural Alterations
or a series of related non-structural Alterations that, as to any such Alterations or series of
related Alterations, do not cost in excess of $1,000,000 each Related Premises and (ii) to install
Equipment in the Improvements or accessions to the Equipment that, as to such Equipment or
accessions, do not cost in excess of $500,000 so long as at the time of construction or
installation of any such Equipment or Alterations no Event of Default exists and the value and
utility of the Leased Premises is not diminished thereby. If the cost of any non-structural
Alterations or series of related non-structural Alterations is in excess of $1,000,000 with respect
to each Related Premises, or if the cost of any Equipment or accessions thereto is in excess of
$500,000 or if Tenant desires to make structural Alterations to any Related Premises, the prior
written approval of Landlord and Lender shall be required. Tenant shall not construct upon the
Land any additional buildings without having first obtained the prior written consent of Landlord
and Lender. Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to remove any Alterations except for
those Alterations required by Law or for which Landlord has agreed in writing that removal will not
be required, provided that Landlord shall respond to any such request from Tenant to permit
Alterations to remain within thirty (30) days following written receipt of Tenant’s request.
(b) If Tenant makes any Alterations pursuant to this Paragraph 13 or as required by Paragraph
12 or 17 (such Alterations and actions being hereinafter collectively referred to as
“Work”), then (i) the market value of the Leased Premises shall not be lessened by any such
Work in any material respect or its usefulness impaired in any material respect, (ii) all such Work
shall be performed by Tenant in a good and workmanlike manner, (iii) all such Work shall be
expeditiously completed in compliance with all Legal Requirements, (iv) all such Work shall comply
with the requirements of all insurance policies required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder, (v)

the Equipment being replaced immediately prior to the occurrence of the event which required its
replacement (assuming such replaced Equipment was then in the condition required by this Lease),
(vi) Tenant shall promptly discharge, bond or remove all liens filed against any of the Leased
Premises arising out of such Work, (vii) Tenant shall procure and pay for all permits and licenses
required in connection with any such Work, (viii) all such Work shall be the property of Landlord

any Imposition, (ii) discharge or remove any lien referred to in Paragraph 11 or 13 or (iii) take
any action with respect to any encroachment, violation, hindrance, obstruction or impairment
referred to in Paragraph 12(b) (such non-compliance with the terms hereof being hereinafter
referred to collectively as “Permitted Violations”) and may dispute or contest the same, so long as
at the time of such non-compliance the following criteria are met (collectively, the “Contest
Requirements”): (A) no Event of Default with respect to the Related Premises to which the

prevent or stay (1) the collection of, or other realization upon, the Permitted Violation so
contested, (2) the sale, forfeiture or loss of any of the applicable Related Premises or any Rent

following:
(x) with respect to a Permitted Violation under clause (i) of Paragraph 14(a) above or clause
(ii) of Paragraph 14(a) above if the contest is with respect to a sum certain, an amount sufficient
to pay the amount in dispute with respect to the applicable Permitted Violation including penalties
and interest assuming payment is made thirty (30) days following the date of payment by Tenant to

Landlord if Landlord reasonably determines in good faith that the amount theretofore paid to
Landlord is no longer sufficient to pay the amount in dispute,
(y) with respect to a Permitted Violation under clause (iii) of Paragraph 14(a) above, or

increased by Tenant within ten (10) days of written demand by Landlord if Landlord reasonably
determines in good faith that the amount theretofore paid to Landlord is no longer sufficient to
pay or otherwise satisfy the amount in dispute; provided, however, that Landlord shall have the
right to demand such increases. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon an amount under
this clause (y), Tenant shall have no right to contest the applicable Permitted Violation.
(b) Landlord shall be required to pay the amount(s) paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to
Paragraph 14(a) above to the applicable Person or governmental authority upon the written request
of Tenant. If Tenant does not request such payment be made, Landlord shall only have the right to
pay the amount(s) paid by Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 14(a) above to the applicable Person or
governmental authority if at any time following such payment by Tenant to Landlord, any of the
Contest Requirements are no longer satisfied.
(c) If either (i) Landlord has not paid the sums paid to it under this Paragraph 14 to the
applicable Person or governmental authority, or, (ii) Landlord has paid the sums paid to it under
this Paragraph 14 and Landlord then receives a refund from the applicable Person or Governmental
Authority), such amount held or received by Landlord shall be paid to Tenant upon the conclusion of
the applicable Permitted Contest unless this Lease has been terminated as a result of an Event of
Default, in which case Landlord shall have the right to apply such sums toward the damages owed by
Tenant under Paragraph 23 hereof, with any excess then paid to Tenant.
-18-
(d) Each such contest shall be promptly and diligently prosecuted by Tenant to a final
conclusion. Tenant shall pay (or shall direct Landlord to pay, to the extent of the amounts paid
to Landlord by Tenant pursuant to this Paragraph 14, in which case Landlord shall pay to such
extent) any and all losses, judgments, decrees and Costs in connection with any such contest and
shall, promptly after the final determination of such contest, fully pay and discharge the amounts
which shall be levied, assessed, charged or imposed or be determined to be payable therein or in
connection therewith, together with all penalties, fines, interest and Costs thereof or in
connection therewith, and perform all acts the performance of which shall be ordered or decreed as
a result thereof. No such contest shall subject Landlord to the risk of any civil or criminal
liability.
15. Indemnification.
(a) Tenant shall pay, protect, indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless Landlord, Lender and
all other Persons described in Paragraph 30 (each an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and
all liabilities, losses, damages (including punitive damages), penalties, Costs (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs), causes of action, suits, claims, demands or judgments of any

casualty, (iii) any violation by Tenant of any provision of this Lease, any contract or agreement
to which Tenant is a party, any Legal Requirement or any Permitted Encumbrance or any encumbrance
Tenant consented to or the Mortgage or Assignment, (iv) the non-recordation of any memorandum of
lease or (v) any alleged, threatened or actual Environmental Violation, including (A) liability for
response costs and for costs of removal and remedial action incurred by the United States
Government, any state or local governmental unit or any other Person, or damages from injury to or
destruction or loss of natural resources, including the reasonable costs of assessing such injury,
destruction or loss, incurred pursuant to Section 107 of CERCLA, or any successor section or act or
provision of any similar state or local Law, (B) liability for costs and expenses of abatement,
correction or clean-up, fines, damages, response costs or penalties which arise from the provisions
of any of the other Environmental Laws and (C) liability for personal injury or property damage

maintenance of a public or private nuisance or for carrying on of a dangerous activity, but
excluding in all cases any and all liabilities, losses, damages (including punitive damages),
penalties, costs, causes of action, suits, claims, demands or judgments caused by the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitee seeking indemnification.
(b) In case any action or proceeding is brought against any Indemnitee by reason of any such
claim, (i) Tenant may, except in the event of a conflict of interest or a dispute between Tenant
and any such Indemnitee or during the continuance of an Event of Default, retain its own counsel
and defend such action (it being understood that Landlord may employ counsel of its choice to
monitor the defense of any such action, the cost of which shall be paid by Tenant) and (ii) such
Indemnitee shall notify Tenant to resist or defend such action or proceeding by retaining counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee, and such Indemnitee will cooperate and assist in the
defense of such action or proceeding if reasonably requested to do so by Tenant. In the event of a
conflict of interest or dispute or during the continuance of an Event of Default, Landlord shall
have the right to select counsel, and the cost of such counsel shall be paid by Tenant.
-19-
(c) The obligations of Tenant under this Paragraph 15 shall survive any termination,
expiration or rejection in bankruptcy of this Lease.

insurance, in amounts not less than the actual replacement cost of the Improvements and Equipment;

repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income either returns to the same
level it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of six (6) months from the date that the
applicable Related Premises is repaired or replaced and operations are resumed, whichever first
occurs.
(vi) During any period in which substantial Alterations at the Leased Premises are being
undertaken, builder’s risk insurance covering the total completed value, including all hard and
soft costs (which shall include business interruption coverage) with respect to the Improvements

(b) The insurance required by Paragraph 16(a) shall be written by companies having a Best’s
rating of A:X or above and a claims paying ability rating of A or better by Standard & Poor’s
Rating Services, a division of the McGraw Hill Companies, Inc. or equivalent rating agency approved
by Landlord and Lender in their sole discretion and are authorized to write insurance policies by,
the State Insurance Department (or its equivalent) for the states in which the Leased Premises are
located. The insurance policies shall be in amounts sufficient at all times to satisfy any
coinsurance requirements thereof. If said insurance or any part thereof shall expire, be withdrawn,
become void, voidable, unreliable or unsafe for any reason, including a breach of any condition
thereof by Tenant or the failure or impairment of the capital of any insurer, or if for any other
reason whatsoever said insurance shall become reasonably unsatisfactory to Landlord, Tenant shall
immediately obtain new or additional insurance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. The insurance
referred to in Paragraphs 16(a)(i), 16(a)(iv) and 16(a)(vi) shall name Landlord and Lender as loss
payee as their interest may appear and Lender as mortgagee. The insurance referred to in Paragraph
16(a)(ii) shall name Landlord and Lender as additional insureds, and the insurance referred to in
Paragraph 16(a)(v) shall name Landlord as insured and Lender and Landlord as loss payee as their

(c) Each insurance policy referred to in clauses (i), (iv), (v) and (vi) of Paragraph 16(a)
shall contain standard non-contributory mortgagee clauses in favor of and acceptable to Lender.
Each policy required by any provision of Paragraph 16(a), except clause (iii) thereof, shall
provide that it may not be cancelled, substantially modified or allowed to lapse on any renewal
date except after thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord and Lender.
(d) Tenant shall pay as they become due all premiums for the insurance required by Paragraph
16(a), shall renew or replace each policy and deliver to Landlord evidence of the payment of the
full premium therefor or installment then due at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration date
of such policy, and shall promptly deliver to Landlord all original certificates of insurance
evidencing such coverages or, if required by Lender, original or certified policies. All
certificates of insurance (including liability coverage) provided to Landlord and Lender shall be
on XXXXX Form 27 (or its equivalent).
(e) Anything in this Paragraph 16 to the contrary notwithstanding, any insurance which Tenant
is required to obtain pursuant to Paragraph 16(a) may be carried under a “blanket” policy or
policies covering other properties of Tenant or under an “umbrella” policy or policies covering
other liabilities of Tenant, as applicable; provided that, such blanket or umbrella policy or
policies otherwise comply with the provisions of this Paragraph 16, and upon request, Tenant shall
provide to Landlord a Statement of Values which may be reviewed annually and shall be amended to
the extent determined necessary by Landlord based on revised Replacement Cost Valuations. The
original or a certified copy of each such blanket or umbrella policy shall promptly be delivered to
Landlord.
(f) Tenant shall not carry separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event
of a Casualty with that required in this Paragraph 16 unless (i) Landlord and Lender are included
therein as named insureds, with loss payable as provided herein, and
-21-
(ii) such separate insurance complies with the other provisions of this Paragraph 16. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of such separate insurance and shall deliver to Landlord the
original policies or certified copies thereof.
(g) Each policy (other than workers’ compensation coverage ) shall contain an effective waiver
by the carrier against all claims for payment of insurance premiums against Landlord and shall
contain a full waiver of subrogation against the Landlord.
(h) The proceeds of any insurance required under Paragraph 16(a) shall be payable as follows:
(i) proceeds payable under clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of Paragraph 16(a) and proceeds
attributable to the general liability coverage of Builder’s Risk insurance under clause (vi) of
Paragraph 16(a) shall be payable to the Person entitled to receive such proceeds; and
(ii) proceeds of insurance required under clause (i) of Paragraph 16(a) and proceeds
attributable to Builder’s Risk insurance (other than its general liability coverage provisions)
under clause (vi) of Paragraph 16(a) shall be payable to Landlord or Lender and applied as set
forth in Paragraph 17 or, if applicable, Paragraph 18. Tenant shall apply the Net Award to
restoration of the Leased Premises in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Lease
unless a Termination Event shall have occurred and Tenant has given a Termination Notice.
17. Casualty and Condemnation.
(a) If any Casualty to any of the Related Premises occurs, the insurance proceeds for which is
reasonably estimated by Tenant to exceed $250,000 Tenant shall give Landlord and Lender immediate
notice thereof. So long as no Event of Default exists Tenant is hereby authorized to adjust,
collect and compromise all claims under any of the insurance policies required by Paragraph 16(a)
(except public liability insurance claims payable to a Person other than Tenant, Landlord or
Lender) and to execute and deliver on behalf of Landlord all necessary proofs of loss, receipts,
vouchers and releases required by the insurers and Landlord shall have the right to join with
Tenant therein. Any final adjustment, settlement or compromise of any such claim in excess of
$100,000 shall be subject to the prior written approval of Landlord, and Landlord shall have the
right to prosecute or contest, or to require Tenant to prosecute or contest, any such claim,
adjustment, settlement or compromise. If an Event of Default exists, Tenant shall not be entitled
to adjust, collect or compromise any such claim or to participate with Landlord in any adjustment,
collection and compromise of the Net Award payable in connection with a Casualty. Tenant agrees to
sign, upon the request of Landlord, all such proofs of loss, receipts, vouchers and releases. Each
insurer is hereby authorized and directed to make payment under said policies, including return of
unearned premiums, directly to Landlord or, if required by the Mortgage, to Lender instead of to
Landlord and Tenant jointly, and Tenant hereby appoints each of Landlord and Lender as Tenant’s
attorneys-in-fact to endorse any draft therefor. The rights of Landlord under this Paragraph 17(a)
shall be extended to Lender if and to the extent that any Mortgage so provides.
(b) Tenant, immediately upon receiving a Condemnation Notice, shall notify Landlord and Lender
thereof. So long as no Event of Default exists and Tenant does not give a Termination Notice to
Landlord, Tenant is authorized to collect, settle and compromise the amount of any Net Award and
Landlord shall have the right to join with Tenant therein. If an Event of Default exists, Landlord
shall be authorized to collect, settle and compromise the amount of any Net Award and Tenant shall
not be entitled to participate with Landlord in any Condemnation proceeding or negotiations under
threat thereof or to contest the Condemnation or
-22-
the amount of the Net Award therefor. No agreement with any condemnor in settlement or under threat of any Condemnation shall be made by Tenant without the written consent of Landlord.
Subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 17(b), Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns to Landlord
any award or payment to which Tenant is or may be entitled by reason of any Condemnation, whether
the same shall be paid or payable for Tenant’s leasehold interest hereunder or otherwise; but
nothing in this Lease shall impair Tenant’s right to any award or payment on account of Tenant’s
trade fixtures, equipment or other tangible property which is not part of the Equipment, moving
expenses or loss of business, if available, to the extent that and so long as (i) Tenant shall have
the right to make, and does make, a separate claim therefor against the condemnor and (ii) such
claim does not in any way reduce either the amount of the award otherwise payable to Landlord for
the Condemnation of Landlord’s fee interest in the Leased Premises or the amount of the award (if
any) otherwise payable for the Condemnation of Tenant’s leasehold interest hereunder. The rights
of Landlord under this Paragraph 17(b) shall also be extended to Lender if and to the extent that
any Mortgage so provides.
(c) If any Casualty (whether or not insured against) or Partial Condemnation shall occur to
any Related Premises, this Lease shall continue, notwithstanding such event, and there shall be no
abatement or reduction of any Monetary Obligations except as provided in Paragraphs 17(d) or 19(c).
Promptly after such Casualty or Partial Condemnation, Tenant, as required in Paragraph 12(a),
shall commence and diligently continue to restore the applicable Related Premises as nearly as
possible to their value, condition and character immediately prior to such event (assuming such
Related Premises to have been in the condition required by this Lease). So long as no Event of
Default exists, any Net Award up to and including $500,000 shall be, if requested by Tenant, paid
to Tenant and any such funds paid to Tenant shall be applied by Tenant toward the restoration of
the applicable Related Premises in accordance with the requirements of Paragraph 13(b) of this
Lease. Any Net Award in excess of $500,000 (and any Net Award up to and including $500,000 not
paid to Tenant at Tenant’s request) shall (unless such Condemnation resulting in the Net Award is a
Termination Event) be made available by Landlord (or Lender if the terms of the Mortgage so
require) to Tenant for the restoration of any of the applicable Related Premises pursuant to and in
accordance with and subject to the provisions of Paragraph 19 hereof. If any Condemnation which is
not a Partial Condemnation shall occur, Tenant shall comply with the terms and conditions of
Paragraph 18.
(d) In the event of a Requisition of any of the Leased Premises, if any Net Award payable by
reason of such Requisition is (i) retained by Landlord, each installment of Basic Rent payable on
or after the date on which the Net Award is paid to Landlord shall be reduced by a fraction, the
denominator of which shall be the total amount of all Basic Rent due from such date to and
including the last Basic Rent Payment Date for the then existing Term and the numerator of which
shall be the amount of such Net Award retained by Landlord, or (ii) paid to Lender, then each
installment of Basic Rent thereafter payable shall be reduced in the same amount and for the same
period as payments are reduced under the Note until such Net Award has been applied in full or
until the Term has expired, whichever occurs first. Upon the expiration of the Term, any portion
of such Net Award which shall not have been previously credited to Tenant shall be retained by
Landlord.
18. Termination Events.
(a) If either (i) all of any Related Premises shall be taken by a Taking or (ii) any
substantial portion of any Related Premises shall be taken by a Taking and, in any such case,
Tenant certifies and covenants to Landlord that it will forever abandon operations at such Related
Premises, (any one or all of the Related Premises described in the above clauses (i) and (ii) above
being hereinafter referred to as the “Affected Premises” and each of the events described
in the above clauses (i) and (ii) shall hereinafter be referred to as a “Termination
Event”), then (x) in the case of (i) above, Tenant shall be obligated, within thirty (30) days
after
-23-
Tenant receives a Condemnation Notice and (y) in the case of (ii) above, Tenant shall have
the option, within thirty (30) days after Tenant receives a Condemnation Notice to give to
Landlord written notice (a “Termination Notice”) in the form described in Paragraph 18(b)
of the Tenant’s election to terminate this Lease as to the Affected Premises. If Tenant elects
under clause (y) above not to give Landlord a Termination Notice, then Tenant shall rebuild or
repair the Affected Premises in accordance with Paragraphs 17 and 19.
(b) A Termination Notice shall contain notice of Tenant’s intention to terminate this Lease as
to the Affected Premises thirty (30) days after delivery of the Termination Notice (the
“Termination Date”), and any amounts prepaid by Tenant and attributable to the Affected
Premises for any period after the Termination Date shall be refunded to Tenant no later than
fifteen (15) days following the Termination Date.
(c) This Lease shall terminate as to the Affected Premises on the Termination Date. If Tenant
has not satisfied all Basic Rent and Impositions due to the Termination Date and all other
non-contingent obligations and liabilities under Paragraphs 10, 12, 13 and 17 of this Lease which
have arisen as to the Affected Premises (collectively, “Remaining Obligations”) on or prior
to the Termination Date, then Landlord may, at its option, extend the Termination Date as to the
Affected Premises to a date which is no later than thirty (30) days after the date on which Tenant
has satisfied all Remaining Obligations. Upon such termination (i) all obligations of Tenant
hereunder as to the Affected Premises shall terminate except for any Surviving Obligations, (ii)
Tenant shall immediately vacate and shall have no further right, title or interest in or to the
Affected Premises, (iii) the Net Award shall be retained by Landlord and (iv) any amounts paid by
Tenant and attributed to the Affected Premises for any period after the Termination Date shall be
prorated between Landlord and Tenant on a per diem basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a
dispute exists as to whether Tenant has satisfied any Monetary Obligation on or before the
Termination Date, Landlord shall not have the right to extend the Termination Date as to the
Affected Premises if Tenant shall pay the amount (the “Disputed Amount”) of the disputed
Monetary Obligation to Landlord. Landlord shall deposit the Disputed Amount into an escrow account
of an escrow agent mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant, in each parties’ reasonable
discretion (the “Termination Escrow Account”), as security for the payment of the Disputed
Amount. All amounts in the Termination Escrow Account shall be invested in a money market account
and any interest that accrues thereon shall be for the benefit of the eventual recipient thereof.
If Landlord and Tenant despite a good faith effort are unable to reach agreement regarding the
disputed Monetary Obligation, then the matter shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with
the rules of the American Arbitration Association then prevailing in New York City and the amounts
in the Termination Escrow Account shall be paid in accordance with such determination. Any
decision or award resulting from such arbitration shall be final and binding upon Landlord and
Tenant and judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
(d) In the event of the termination of this Lease as to the Affected Premises as hereinabove
provided, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to the Remaining Premises; provided,
that the Basic Rent for the Remaining Premises to be paid after such termination shall be the Basic
Rent otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the Leased Premises multiplied by a percentage
equal to the sum of the Premises Percentage Allocation for the Remaining Premises.
19. Restoration.
(a) If any Net Award is in excess of $500,000, Landlord (or Lender if required by any
Mortgage) shall hold the Net Award in a fund (the “Restoration Fund”) and disburse amounts
from the Restoration Fund only in accordance with the following conditions:
-24-
(i) prior to commencement of restoration, (A) the architects, contracts (each of which shall
contain customary retainage provisions), contractors, plans and specifications and a budget for the
restoration shall have been approved by Landlord and may provide for development and/or
construction management fees to be paid to Tenant or its affiliates and (B) Landlord and Lender
shall, upon reasonable request and based upon a review of the contractor’s and prime
subcontractor’s credit and references, be provided with mechanics’ lien insurance (if available)
and acceptable performance and payment bonds which insure satisfactory completion of and payment
for the restoration, are in an amount and form and have a surety acceptable to Landlord, and name
Landlord and Lender as additional dual obligees;
(ii) at the time of any disbursement, no Event of Default shall exist and no mechanics’ or
materialmen’s liens shall have been filed against any of the Leased Premises and remain
undischarged;
(iii) disbursements shall be made from time to time in an amount not exceeding the cost of the
Work completed since the last disbursement, upon receipt of (A) satisfactory evidence, including
architects’ certificates, of the stage of completion, the estimated total cost of completion and
performance of the Work to date in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the contracts,
plans and specifications, (B) waivers of liens, (C) contractors’ and subcontractors’ sworn
statements as to completed Work and the cost thereof for which payment is requested, (D) a
satisfactory bringdown of title insurance and (E) other evidence of cost and payment so that
Landlord and Lender can verify that the amounts disbursed from time to time are represented by Work
that is completed, in place and free and clear of mechanics’ and materialmen’s lien claims;
(iv) each request for disbursement shall be accompanied by a certificate of Tenant, signed by
the president or a vice president of Tenant, describing the Work for which payment is requested,
stating the cost incurred in connection therewith, stating that Tenant has not previously received
payment for such Work and, upon completion of the Work, also stating that the Work has been fully
completed and complies with the applicable requirements of this Lease;
(v) Landlord may retain from the Restoration Fund the lesser of (a) ten percent (10%) or (b)
the retainage provided for in the relevant contract, until the Work is fully completed;
(vi) If the Restoration Fund is held by Landlord, the Restoration Fund shall not be commingled
with Landlord’s other funds and shall bear interest at a rate agreed to by Landlord and Tenant; and
(vii) such other reasonable conditions as Landlord or Lender may impose.
(b) Prior to commencement of restoration and at any time during restoration, if the estimated
cost of completing the restoration work free and clear of all liens, as reasonably determined by
Landlord, exceeds the amount of the Net Award available for such restoration (such excess, the
“Shortfall”), then, (i) unless Tenant then has an Investment Grade Rating, Tenant shall
upon demand by Landlord deposit with Landlord an uncollateralized irrevocable letter of credit (a
“Restoration Letter of Credit”) issued by a bank with an S&P credit rating of not less than
“A” and in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord in the amount of the Shortfall as security
for the restoration of the applicable Related Premises and (ii) if Tenant then has an Investment
Grade Rating, Tenant shall not be required to deposit a Restoration Letter of Credit. If, after
disbursement of the entire Net Award, restoration of the applicable Related Premises has not been
completed, Tenant shall promptly complete such restoration at its cost.
-25-
(c) The Restoration Letter of Credit shall remain in full force and effect until no Shortfall
exists, and the Restoration Letter of Credit shall be renewed at least thirty (30) days prior to
any expiration thereof. If Tenant fails to renew the Restoration Letter of Credit by such date,
time being of the essence, Landlord shall have the right at any time after the thirtieth (30th) day
before such expiration date to draw on the Restoration Letter of Credit and to deposit the proceeds
of the Restoration Letter of Credit as a cash security deposit (a “Cash Restoration Security
Deposit”) in any account for the benefit of Landlord. The Cash Restoration Security Deposit
shall not be commingled with other funds of Landlord or other Persons and if any Cash Restoration
Security Deposits are held by Landlord they shall be invested in a money market account and any
interest that accrues thereon shall be for the benefit of Tenant.
(d) If, at any time following the date Tenant deposits with Landlord the Restoration Letter of
Credit, Tenant fails to comply with Paragraph 17(c) or this Xxxxxxxxx 00, Xxxxxxxx shall have the
right to draw on the Restoration Letter of Credit or to withdraw the Cash Restoration Security
Deposit from the above-described account and to apply the proceeds in payment of the Shortfall, as
same come due, and Tenant acknowledges and agrees that such proceeds shall not constitute assets or
funds of Tenant or its estate, or be deemed to be held in trust for Tenant, but shall be, for all
purposes, the property of Landlord (or Lender, to the extent assigned). Tenant further
acknowledges and agrees that Landlord’s application of the proceeds of the Restoration Letter of
Credit or Cash Restoration Security Deposit towards the payment of the Shortfall, constitutes a
fair and reasonable use of such proceeds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Paragraph
19 shall impact Tenant’s right to contest Permitted Violations as set forth in Paragraph 14, and
Tenant shall retain such right.
(e) Tenant shall complete and pay for a sufficient portion of the applicable restoration
(without use of funds in the Restoration Fund), in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, so as to
eliminate any Shortfall. Upon such elimination of the Shortfall, Landlord shall return the
Restoration Letter of Credit (as same may have been drawn upon pursuant to this Paragraph 19) or
Cash Restoration Security Deposit (as same may have been drawn upon pursuant to this Paragraph 19),
as applicable, to Tenant; provided, however, if this Lease has been terminated as a result of an
Event of Default on or before such date, Landlord shall have the right to apply the Restoration
Letter of Credit or Cash Restoration Security Deposit, as applicable, toward damages owed under
Paragraph 23, with any excess then paid to Tenant.
(f) Landlord shall have the right to designate Lender or any other holder of a Mortgage as the
beneficiary of the Restoration Letter of Credit during the term of the applicable Loan, and such
Lender or other holder of a Mortgage shall have all of the rights of Landlord under this Paragraph
19. Tenant covenants and agrees to execute such agreements, consents and acknowledgments as may be
reasonably requested by Landlord from time to time to change the holder of the Restoration Letter
of Credit or Cash Restoration Security Deposit as hereinabove provided.
(g) If any sum remains in the Restoration Fund after completion of the restoration, such sum
shall be first paid to Tenant to the extent of any Shortfall paid by Tenant and/or paid from the
proceeds of any draw of the Restoration Letter of Credit or from the Cash Restoration Letter of
Credit, as applicable, as confirmed to Landlord’s and Tenant’s reasonable satisfaction upon the
completion of the applicable restoration and then the balance shall be retained by Landlord or, if
required by a Note or Mortgage, paid by Landlord to a Lender.
20. Procedures Upon Purchase.
(a) If the Leased Premises are purchased by Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 35 of this Lease,
Landlord need not convey any better title thereto than that which was conveyed to Landlord, and
Tenant or its designee shall accept such title, subject, however, to the Permitted
-26-
Encumbrances and to all other liens, exceptions and restrictions on, against or relating to
any of the Leased Premises and to all applicable Laws, but free of the lien of and security
interest created by any Mortgage or Assignment and liens, exceptions and restrictions on, against
or relating to the Leased Premises which have been created by or resulted solely from acts or
omissions of Landlord after the date of this Lease, unless the same are Permitted Encumbrances or
customary utility easements benefiting the Leased Premises or were created with the concurrence of
Tenant or as a result of a default by Tenant under this Lease.
(b) Upon the date fixed for any such purchase of the Leased Premises pursuant to any provision
of this Lease (any such date the “Purchase Date”), Tenant shall pay to Landlord, or to any
Person to whom Landlord directs payment, the purchase price therefor, in Federal Funds, and
Landlord shall deliver to Tenant (i) a special warranty deed which describes the premises being
conveyed and conveys the title thereto as provided in Paragraph 20(a) and (ii) such other
instruments as shall be necessary to transfer to Tenant or its designee any other property then
required to be sold by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to this Lease. If on the Purchase Date any
non-contingent Monetary Obligations remain outstanding then Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the
Purchase Date the amount of such non-contingent Monetary Obligations. Upon the completion of such
purchase, this Lease and all obligations and liabilities of Tenant hereunder with respect to the
applicable Leased Premises shall terminate, except any Surviving Obligations.
(c) If the completion of such purchase shall be delayed after the date scheduled for such
purchase then Rent shall continue to be due and payable until completion of such purchase.
21. Assignment and Subletting: Prohibition against Leasehold Financing.
(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided to the contrary in this Xxxxxxxxx 00, Xxxxxx may
not assign this Lease, voluntarily or involuntarily, whether by operation of law or otherwise
(including through merger or consolidation) to any Person except to a Person which is a Credit
Entity and except that BPC shall be permitted to merge into Holdings (any such assignment, a
“Preapproved Assignment”) without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent
shall be granted or withheld by Landlord in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 21(b) below
and subject, in each case, to the provisions of Paragraph 21(i) below. In addition,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph 21, Tenant shall not have the
right to assign this Lease (voluntarily or involuntarily, whether by operation of law or
otherwise), or sublet any of the Leased Premises to any Person at any time that an Event of Default
shall exist. As used in this Paragraph 21, a “Credit Entity” shall mean (i) any Person
that immediately following such assignment or subletting and having given effect thereto will have
an Investment Grade Rating and (ii) any Person that is and continues for the balance of the Term to
be a member of the Tenant Group.
(b) If Tenant desires to assign this Lease, whether by operation of law or otherwise, to a
Person (“Non-Preapproved Assignee”) that is not a Credit Entity (each a
“Non-Preapproved Assignment”) then Tenant shall, not less than sixty (60) days prior to the
date on which it desires to make a Non-Preapproved Assignment, submit to Landlord and Lender
information regarding the following with respect to the Non-Preapproved Assignee (collectively, the
“Review Criteria”): (A) credit, (B) capital structure, (C) management, (D) operating
history, (E) proposed use of the Leased Premises and (F) risk factors associated with the proposed
use of the Leased Premises by the Non-Preapproved Assignee, taking into account factors such as
environmental concerns, product liability and the like. Landlord and Lender shall review such
information and shall approve or disapprove the Non-Preapproved Assignee no later than the
thirtieth (30th) day following receipt of all such information, and Landlord and Lender
shall be deemed to have acted reasonably in granting or withholding consent if such grant or
disapproval
-27-
is based on their review of the Review Criteria applying prudent business judgment. If a
response is not received by Tenant by the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, such
non-Preapproved Assignee shall be deemed disapproved.
(c) Tenant shall have the right, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord and
Lender, to enter into (i) one or more subleases with any Credit Entity and (ii) one or more
subleases with any third parties that demise, in the aggregate, up to, but not in excess of thirty
percent (30%) of the gross leaseable area of the Improvements at each Related Premises with no
consent or approval of Landlord being required or necessary (each, a “Preapproved Sublet”).
Other than pursuant to Preapproved Sublets, at no time during the Term shall subleases exist for
more than thirty percent (30%) of the gross leaseable area of the Improvements at each Related
Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall be granted or withheld
based on a review of the Review Criteria as they relate to the proposed sublessee and the terms of
the proposed sublease. Landlord and Lender shall be deemed to have acted reasonably in granting or
withholding consent if such grant or disapproval is based on their review of the Review Criteria
applying prudent business judgment. If a response is not received by Tenant within thirty (30 )
days after the date Landlord and Lender receive Tenant’s request for consent and information
regarding the Review Criteria, such proposed sublease shall be deemed disapproved.
(d) If Tenant assigns all its rights and interest under this Lease, the assignee under such
assignment shall expressly assume all the obligations of Tenant hereunder, actual or contingent,
including obligations of Tenant which may have arisen on or prior to the date of such assignment,
by a written instrument delivered to Landlord at the time of such assignment and shall also provide
any certification reasonably required by Landlord related to the USA Patriot Act. Each sublease of
any of the Leased Premises shall (A) be expressly subject and subordinate to this Lease and any
Mortgage encumbering the Leased Premises; (B) not extend beyond the then current Term minus one
day; (C) terminate upon any termination of this Lease, unless Landlord elects in writing, to cause
the sublessee to attorn to and recognize Landlord as the lessor under such sublease, whereupon such
sublease shall continue as a direct lease between the sublessee and Landlord upon all the terms and
conditions of such sublease; and (D) bind the sublessee to all covenants contained in Paragraph
4(a), 10 and 12 with respect to subleased premises to the same extent as if the sublessee were the
Tenant. No assignment or sublease shall affect or reduce any of the obligations of Tenant
hereunder (provided that Landlord shall accept performance of Tenant’s obligations hereunder by any
permitted subtenant) and all such obligations of Tenant shall continue in full force and effect as
obligations of a principal and not as obligations of a guarantor, as if no assignment or sublease
had been made. No assignment or sublease shall impose any additional obligations on Landlord under
this Lease. Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after the execution and delivery of any assignment
or sublease, deliver a duplicate original copy thereof to Landlord which, in the event of an
assignment, shall be in recordable form. With respect to (i) any assignment to a member of the
Tenant Group or to a Credit Entity or (ii) any Preapproved Sublet, at least thirty (30) days prior
to the effective date of such assignment or sublease, Tenant shall provide to Landlord information
reasonably required by Landlord to establish that the Person involved in any such proposed
assignment or sublet satisfies the criteria set forth in this Lease for a Preapproved Assignment or
Preapproved Sublet. Any purported sublease or assignment in violation of this Paragraph 21 shall
be null and void.
(e) Notwithstanding any provision in this Paragraph 21 or elsewhere in this Lease to the
contrary, including any right or option Tenant may have to assign this Lease or sublease all or any
portion of the Leased Premises without Landlord’s consent, Tenant shall, upon the request of
Landlord, provide and cause such assignee or sublessee to provide, such information (including,
without limitation, any certification) as to any proposed assignee or sublessee and its principals
as may be required for Landlord and Tenant to comply with regulations administered by the Office of
Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”) of the Department of
-28-
the Treasury, codified at 31 C.F.R. Part 500 (including those named on OFAC’s Specially
Designated and Blocked Persons list) or under any statute, executive order (including the September
24, 2001, Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit,
Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action regarding persons or
entities with whom U.S. persons or entities are restricted from doing business (including persons
or entities who have violated the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act 15 U.S.C. §§78dd-1, 78dd-2 and
78dd-3).
(f) As security for performance of its obligations under this Lease, Tenant hereby grants,
conveys and assigns to Landlord all right, title and interest of Tenant in and to all subleases now
in existence or hereafter entered into for any or all of the Leased Premises, any and all
extensions, modifications and renewals thereof and all rents, issues and profits therefrom.
Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a license to collect and enjoy all rents and other sums of money
payable under any sublease of any of the Leased Premises; provided, however, that during the
continuance of a default Landlord shall have the absolute right at any time upon notice to Tenant
and any subtenants to revoke said license and to collect such rents and sums of money and to retain
the same. Any amounts collected shall be applied to Rent payments next due and owing. Tenant
shall not consent to, cause or allow any modification or alteration of any of the terms, conditions
or covenants of any of the subleases or the termination thereof, without the prior written approval
of Landlord which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld nor shall Tenant accept any rents more
than thirty (30) days in advance of the accrual thereof.
(g) Except for leasehold mortgages encumbering Tenant’s leasehold in this Lease which are
required under the Credit Agreement dated as of April, 3, 2007, as amended, supplemented or
modified from time-to-time, and any successor credit agreement, Tenant shall not have the power to
mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber its interest under this Lease or any sublease of the Leased
Premises, and any such mortgage, pledge or encumbrance made in violation of this Paragraph 21 shall
be void and of no force and effect.
(h) Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 35 hereof, Landlord may sell or transfer the
Leased Premises at any time without Tenant’s consent to any third party (each a “Third Party
Purchaser”) that is not a Competitor. In the event of any such transfer, Tenant shall attorn
to any Third Party Purchaser as Landlord so long as such Third Party Purchaser and Landlord notify
Tenant in writing of such transfer. At the request of Landlord, Tenant will execute such documents
confirming the agreement referred to above and such other agreements as Landlord may reasonably
request, provided that such agreements do not increase the liabilities and obligations of Tenant
hereunder.
(i) Neither Tenant shall, in a single transaction or series of transactions (including any
merger or consolidation), sell or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets
(an “Asset Transfer”) to any Person, and any such Asset Transfer shall be deemed an
assignment in violation of this Lease, except that a Tenant shall have the right to conduct an
Asset Transfer to a Person without Landlord’s consent if the following conditions are met: (i) the
Asset Transfer is to a Person that (A) immediately following such transaction or transactions,
taken in the aggregate, is (or would be, on a pro forma basis) a Credit Entity or (B) is approved
in writing by Landlord under the Review Criteria as a Non-Preapproved Assignee in accordance with
the provisions of Paragraph 21(b) of this Lease or (C) is a merger of BPC into Holdings ; and (ii)
the obligations and liabilities of such Tenant under this Lease are assigned to and assumed by such
Person as a part of such Asset Transfer.
22. Events of Default.
-29-
(a) The occurrence of any one or more of the following (after expiration of any applicable
cure period as provided in Paragraph 22(b)) shall, at the sole option of Landlord, constitute an
“Event of Default” under this Lease:
(i) a failure by Tenant to make any payment of any Monetary Obligation on or prior to its due
date, regardless of the reason for such failure;
(ii) a failure by Tenant duly to perform and observe, or a violation or breach of, any other
provision hereof not otherwise specifically mentioned in this Paragraph 22(a);
(iii) any representation or warranty made by any Tenant herein or in any certificate, demand
or request made pursuant hereto proves to be incorrect, now or hereafter, in any material respect;
(iv) any Tenant shall (A) voluntarily be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, (B) seek or
consent to the appointment of a receiver or trustee for itself or for any of the Related Premises,
(C) file a petition seeking relief under the bankruptcy or other similar laws of the United States,
any state or any jurisdiction or (D) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors;
(v) a court shall enter an order, judgment or decree appointing, without the consent of any
Tenant, a receiver or trustee for it or for any of the Related Premises or approving a petition
filed against any Tenant which seeks relief under the bankruptcy or other similar laws of the
United States, any state or any jurisdiction, and such order, judgment or decree shall remain
undischarged or unstayed sixty (60) days after it is entered;
(vi) any of the Related Premises shall have been vacated or abandoned other than in accordance
with the terms of Paragraph 18;
(vii) any Tenant shall be liquidated or dissolved or shall begin proceedings towards its
liquidation or dissolution;
(viii) the estate or interest of any Tenant in any of the Related Premises shall be levied
upon or attached in any proceeding and such estate or interest is about to be sold or transferred
or such process shall not be vacated or discharged within sixty (60) days after it is made;
(ix) a failure by any Tenant to perform or observe, or a violation or breach of, or a
misrepresentation by any Tenant under, any document between any Tenant and Lender or from any
Tenant to Lender, if such failure, violation, breach or misrepresentation gives rise to a default
with respect to any Loan;
(x) a failure by any Tenant to maintain in effect any license or permit necessary for the use,
occupancy or operation of any Related Premises that materially impairs the value or use of such
Related Premises;
(xi) any Tenant shall in a single transaction or series of transactions sell, convey, transfer
or lease all or substantially all of its assets unless concurrently with such sale the interest of
such Tenant in this Lease is assigned to the purchaser, lessee or transferee of such assets who
complies with the requirements of Paragraph 21 of this Lease and who shall assume in writing all of
the obligations of such Tenant hereunder;
-30-
(xii) any Tenant shall fail to deliver the estoppel described in Paragraph 25 within the time
period specified therein; or
(xiii) a default beyond any applicable notice and/or cure period shall occur with respect to
any Monetary Obligation under any lease agreement between either Tenant and Landlord or any
Affiliate of Landlord or any affiliate or Subsidiary of either Tenant.
(b) No notice or cure period shall be required in any one or more of the following events:
(A) except as otherwise set forth in this Paragraph 22(b), the occurrence of an Event of Default
under clause (i), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix), (xi), (xii) or (xiv) of Paragraph
22(a); (B) the default consists of a failure to provide any insurance required by Paragraph 16 or
an assignment or sublease entered into in violation of Paragraph 21; or (C) the default is such
that any delay in the exercise of a remedy by Landlord could reasonably be expected to cause
irreparable non-monetary harm to Landlord. If the default consists of the failure to pay Basic
Rent under clause (i) of Paragraph 22(a), the applicable cure period shall be five (5) days from
the date on which notice is given, but Landlord shall not be obligated to give notice of, or allow
any cure period for, such default more than four(4) times within any Lease Year. If the default
consists of the failure to pay any Monetary Obligation other than Basic Rent the applicable cure
period shall be fifteen (15) days from the date on which notice is given, but Landlord shall not
be obligated to give notice of, or allow any cure period for, the same default more than four(4)
times within any Lease Year. If the default consists of a default under clause (ix) with respect
to the vacation of any Related Premises the applicable cure period shall be ten (10) days from the
earlier to occur of (1) the date on which Tenant notifies Landlord that it has vacated such Related
Premises or (ii) the date on which Landlord has knowledge that such Related Premises has been
vacated. If the default consists of a default under clause (ii), clause (iii) or (xii) and the
misrepresentation or breach is reasonably susceptible of cure, or clause (xiii) of Paragraph 22(a),
other than the events specified in clauses (B) and (C) of the first sentence of this Paragraph
22(b), the applicable cure period shall be twenty (20) days from the date on which notice is given
or, if the default cannot be cured within such twenty (20) day period and delay in the exercise of
a remedy would not (in Landlord’s reasonable judgment) cause any material adverse harm to Landlord
or any of the Leased Premises, the cure period shall be extended for the period required to cure
the default (but such cure period, including any extension, shall not in the aggregate exceed
ninety (90) days), provided that Tenant shall commence to cure the default within the said
twenty-day period and shall actively, diligently and in good faith proceed with and continue the
curing of the default until it shall be fully cured.
23. Remedies and Damages Upon Default.
(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, Landlord shall have the
right, at its sole option, then or at any time thereafter, to exercise its remedies and to collect
damages from Tenant in accordance with this Paragraph 23, subject in all events to applicable Law,
without demand upon or notice to Tenant except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 22(b) and this
Paragraph 23.
(i) Landlord may give Tenant notice of Landlord’s intention to terminate this Lease on a date
specified in such notice. Upon such date, this Lease, the estate hereby granted and all rights of
Tenant hereunder shall expire and terminate. Upon such termination, Tenant shall immediately
surrender and deliver possession of the Leased Premises to Landlord in accordance with Paragraph
26. If Tenant does not so surrender and deliver possession of all of the Leased Premises, Landlord
may re-enter and repossess any of the Leased Premises not surrendered, by any available legal
process. Upon or at any time after taking possession of any of the Leased Premises, Landlord may,
by legal process, remove any Persons or property therefrom. Landlord shall be under no liability
for or by reason of any such entry,
-31-
repossession or removal. Notwithstanding such termination of the Lease, Landlord may collect
the damages set forth in Paragraph 23(b)(i) or 23(b)(ii).
(ii) Landlord may terminate Tenant’s right of possession (but not this Lease) and may
repossess the Leased Premises by any available legal process without thereby releasing Tenant from
any liability hereunder and without demand or notice of any kind to Tenant and without terminating
this Lease. After repossession of any of the Leased Premises pursuant hereto, Landlord shall have
the right to relet any of the Leased Premises to such tenant or tenants, for such term or terms,
for such rent, on such conditions and for such uses as Landlord in its sole discretion may
determine, and collect and receive any rents payable by reason of such reletting. Landlord may
make such Alterations in connection with such reletting as it may deem advisable in its sole
discretion. Notwithstanding any such termination of Tenant’s right of possession of the Leased
Premises, Landlord may collect the damages set forth in Paragraph 23(b)(ii) and/or, at any time
thereafter, elect to terminate this Lease and in such event Landlord shall have the right and
remedies specified in the last sentence of Paragraph 23(a)(i) and in 23(a)(iii).
(iii) Landlord may declare by notice to Tenant the entire Basic Rent (in the amount of Basic
Rent then in effect) for the remainder of the then current Term to be immediately due and payable.
Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord all such Basic Rent discounted to its Present Value, all
accrued Rent then due and unpaid, all other Monetary Obligations which are then due and unpaid and
all Monetary Obligations which arise or become due by reason of such Event of Default (including
any Costs of Landlord). Upon receipt by Landlord of all such accelerated Basic Rent and Monetary
Obligations, this Lease shall terminate, subject to any Surviving Obligations.
(b) The following constitute damages to which Landlord shall be entitled if Landlord exercises
its remedies under Paragraph 23(a)(i) or 23(a)(ii):
(i) If Landlord exercises its remedy under Paragraph 23(a)(i) but not its remedy under
Paragraph 23(a)(ii) (or attempts to exercise such remedy and is unsuccessful in reletting the
Leased Premises) then, upon written demand from Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as
liquidated and agreed final damages for Tenant’s default and in lieu of all current damages beyond
the date of such demand (it being agreed that it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to
fix the actual damages), an amount equal to the Present Value of the excess, if any, of (A) all
Basic Rent from the date of such demand to the date on which the Term is scheduled to expire
hereunder in the absence of any earlier termination, re-entry or repossession over (B) the then
fair market rental value of the Leased Premises for the same period. Tenant shall also pay to
Landlord all accrued Rent then due and unpaid, all other Monetary Obligations which are then due
and unpaid, all Monetary Obligations which arise or become due by reason of such Event of Default,
including any Costs of Landlord in connection with the repossession of the Leased Premises and any
attempted reletting thereof, including all brokerage commissions, legal expenses, reasonable
attorneys’ fees, employees’ expenses, costs of Alterations and expenses and preparation for
reletting.
(ii) If Landlord exercises its remedy under Paragraph 23(a)(i) or its remedies under Paragraph
23(a)(i) and 23(a)(ii), then Tenant shall, until the end of what would have been the Term in the
absence of the termination of the Lease, and whether or not any of the Leased Premises shall have
been relet, be liable to Landlord for, and shall pay to Landlord, as liquidated and agreed current
damages all Monetary Obligations which would be payable under this Lease by Tenant in the absence
of such termination less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting pursuant to Paragraph
23(a)(ii), after deducting from such proceeds all accrued Rent then due and unpaid, all other
Monetary Obligations which are then due and unpaid, all Monetary Obligations which arise or become
due by reason of such Event of Default, including
-32-
any Costs of Landlord incurred in connection with such repossessing and reletting, including
all brokerage commissions, legal expenses, reasonable attorneys’ fees, employees’ expenses, costs
of Alterations and expenses and preparation for reletting; provided, that if Landlord has not relet
the Leased Premises, such Costs of Landlord shall be considered to be Monetary Obligations payable
by Tenant.
(iii) Tenant shall be and remain liable for all sums aforesaid, and Landlord may recover such
damages from Tenant and institute and maintain successive actions or legal proceedings against
Tenant for the recovery of such damages. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require
Landlord to wait to begin such action or other legal proceedings until the date when the Term would
have expired by its own terms had there been no such Event of Default.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, in lieu of or in addition to
any of the foregoing remedies and damages, Landlord may exercise any remedies and collect any
damages available to it at law or in equity (excluding consequential damages); provided, however,
with respect to a Limited Remedy Default, the maximum aggregate amount Tenant shall be required to
pay to Landlord (pursuant to Paragraph 23(a)(iii) or otherwise) from and after the date of the
occurrence of such Limited Remedy Default (the “Occurrence Date”) with respect to Basic
Rent, Additional Rent and indemnification obligations under Paragraph 15(a) shall be limited to the
sum of (i) the present value as of the Occurrence Date, discounted at the annual rate of ten and
one-half percent (10.5%), of all Basic Rent reserved hereunder for the unexpired portion after the
Occurrence Date) of the Term devised herein as if this Lease had not expired or been terminated,
(ii) any amounts of Additional Rent which are due and payable or have accrued under this Lease
through the Occurrence Date, and (iii) any amounts of Additional Rent which are due and payable or
have accrued under this Lease after the Occurrence Date while the Tenant remains in possession of
the Leased Premises or any Related Premises, as applicable, after any Limited Remedy Default that
relates to Impositions, insurance, utilities, repairs, maintenance, environmental maintenance,
remediation and compliance and other routine and customary Costs of operating and maintaining the
Leased Premises or any Related Premises, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant
remains in possession of the Leased Premises or any Related Premises, as applicable, and assumes,
ratifies or affirms this Lease during any pending bankruptcy or other event described in 22(a)(ii)
or (iii), then Tenant shall be obligated to pay all Basic Rent and Additional Rent which become due
and payable under this Lease without limitation by this Paragraph 23(c). Nothing contained in this
Paragraph 23(c) shall limit any amounts payable by Tenant with respect to Basic Rent or Additional
Rent if any Event of Default that is not a Limited Remedy Default has occurred.
(d) If any Law shall validly limit the amount of any damages provided for herein to an amount
which is less than the amount agreed to herein, Landlord shall be entitled to the maximum amount
available under such Law.
(e) No termination of this Lease, repossession or reletting of any of the Leased Premises,
exercise of any remedy or collection of any damages pursuant to this Paragraph 23 shall relieve
Tenant of any Surviving Obligations.
(f) WITH RESPECT TO ANY REMEDY OR PROCEEDING OF LANDLORD OR TENANT HEREUNDER, EACH OF LANDLORD
AND TENANT HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
(g) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord shall have the right (but no
obligation) to perform any act required of Tenant hereunder and, if performance of such act
requires that Landlord enter the Leased Premises, Landlord may enter the Leased Premises for such
purpose
-33-
(h) No failure of Landlord (i) to insist at any time upon the strict performance of any
provision of this Lease or (ii) to exercise any option, right, power or remedy contained in this
Lease shall be construed as a waiver, modification or relinquishment thereof. A receipt by
Landlord of any sum in satisfaction of any Monetary Obligation with knowledge of the breach of any
provision hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, and no waiver by Landlord of any
provision hereof shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in a writing signed by
Landlord.
(i) Tenant hereby waives and surrenders, for itself and all those claiming under it, including
creditors of all kinds, (i) any right and privilege which it or any of them may have under any
present or future Law to redeem any of the Leased Premises or to have a continuance of this Lease
after termination of this Lease or of Tenant’s right of occupancy or possession pursuant to any
court order or any provision hereof, and (ii) the benefits of any present or future Law which
exempts property from liability for debt or for distress for rent.
(j) Except as otherwise provided herein, all remedies are cumulative and concurrent and no
remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. Each remedy may be exercised at any time an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing and may be exercised from time to time. No remedy shall be
exhausted by any exercise thereof.
24. Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals, offers, statements and
other instruments or communications required or permitted to be given pursuant to the provisions of
this Lease shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given and received for all purposes
when delivered in person or by Federal Express or other reliable 24-hour delivery service or five

be given by Tenant to Xxxx Xxxxx LLP, 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX

may substitute another address stated above (or substituted by a previous notice) for its address
by giving fifteen (15) days’ notice of the new address to the other party, in the manner provided
above.
25. Estoppel Certificate. At any time upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior written
request by either Landlord or Tenant (the “Requesting Party”) to Landlord or Tenant, as the
case may be (the “Responding Party”), the Responding Party shall deliver to the Requesting
Party a statement in writing, executed by an authorized officer of the Responding Party, certifying

Party may be relied upon by the Requesting Party, any Person whom the Requesting Party notifies the
Responding Party in its request for the Certificate is an intended recipient or beneficiary of the
Certificate, any Lender or by any prospective purchaser or Lender of any of the Leased Premises.
Any certificate required under this Paragraph 25 and delivered by Tenant shall state that, in the
opinion of each person signing the same, he has made such examination or investigation as is
necessary to enable him to express an informed opinion
-34-
as to the subject matter of such certificate, and shall briefly state the nature of such examination
or investigation.
26. Surrender. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall
peaceably leave and surrender the Leased Premises or Affected Premises, as applicable, to Landlord
in the same condition in which the Leased Premises or Affected Premises, as applicable, were at the
commencement of this Lease, except as repaired, rebuilt, restored, altered, replaced or added to as
permitted or required by any provision of this Lease, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Upon such
surrender, Tenant shall (a) remove from the Leased Premises or Affected Premises, as applicable,
all property which is owned by Tenant or third parties other than Landlord and Alterations required
to be removed pursuant to Paragraph 13 hereof and (b) repair any damage caused by such removal.
Property not so removed shall become the property of Landlord, and Landlord may thereafter cause
such property to be removed from the Leased Premises or Affected Premises, as applicable. The cost
of removing and disposing of such property and repairing any damage to any of the Leased Premises
or Affected Premises, if applicable, caused by such removal shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord
upon demand. Landlord shall not in any manner or to any extent be obligated to reimburse Tenant
for any such property which becomes the property of Landlord pursuant to this Paragraph 26.
27. No Merger of Title. There shall be no merger of the leasehold estate created by this
Lease with the fee estate in any of the Leased Premises by reason of the fact that the same Person
may acquire or hold or own, directly or indirectly, (a) the leasehold estate created hereby or any
part thereof or interest therein and (b) the fee estate in any of the Leased Premises or any part
thereof or interest therein, unless and until all Persons having any interest in the interests
described in (a) and (b) above which are sought to be merged shall join in a written instrument
effecting such merger and shall duly record the same.
28. Books and Records.
(a) Tenant shall keep adequate records and books of account with respect to the finances and
business of Tenant generally and with respect to the Leased Premises, in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) consistently applied, and shall permit Landlord and
Lender by their respective agents, accountants and attorneys, upon reasonable notice to Tenant, to
visit and inspect the Leased Premises and examine (and make copies of) the records and books of
account and to discuss the finances and business with the officers of Tenant, at such reasonable
times as may be requested by Landlord. Upon the request of Lender or Landlord (either
telephonically or in writing), Tenant shall provide the requesting party with copies of any
information to which such party would be entitled in the course of a personal visit. All such
inspections shall be at Landlord’s expense except during the continuance of an Event of Default, in
which case such inspections shall be at the expense of Tenant.
(b) If at any time during the Term Tenant’s securities are not listed and traded on a national
securities exchange located in the United States, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord and to Lender
within ninety (90) days of the close of each fiscal year, annual audited financial statements of
the Tenant Group prepared by nationally recognized independent certified public accountants.
Tenant shall also furnish to Landlord within forty-five (45) days after the end of each of the
three remaining quarters unaudited financial statements and all other quarterly reports of the
Tenant Group, certified by Tenant’s chief financial officer, and all filings, if any, on Form 10-K,

provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any other Law. All financial
statements of the Tenant Group shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied. All
annual financial statements shall be accompanied (i) by an opinion of said accounting firm stating
that (A) there are no qualifications as to the scope of the audit and (B) the audit was performed

or a vice president of Tenant, dated within five (5) days of the delivery of such statement,
stating that (C) the affiant knows of no Event of Default, or event which, upon notice or the
passage of time or both, would become an Event of Default which has occurred and is continuing
hereunder or, if any such event has occurred and is continuing, specifying the nature and period of
existence thereof and what action Tenant has taken or proposes to take with respect thereto and (D)
except as otherwise specified in such affidavit, that Tenant has fulfilled all of its obligations
under this Lease which are required to be fulfilled on or prior to the date of such affidavit.
29. Determination of Fair Market Rental Value.
(a) Fair Market Rental Value shall be determined in accordance with the following procedure:
(i) Landlord and Tenant shall endeavor to agree upon such Fair Market Rental Value within
thirty (30) days after the date on which Landlord receives the Renewal Notice for the Second
Renewal Term (the “Applicable Initial Date”). Upon reaching such agreement, the parties
shall execute an addendum to this Lease setting forth the amount of such Fair Market Rental Value.
(ii) If the parties shall not have reached such agreement within thirty (30) days after
receipt by Landlord of the Renewal Notice for the Second Renewal Term, Tenant shall within fifty
(50) days after receipt by Landlord of the Renewal Notice for the Second Renewal Term select an
appraiser and notify Landlord in writing of the name, address and qualifications of such appraiser.
Within twenty (20) days following Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice of the appraiser selected
by Tenant, Landlord shall select an appraiser and notify Tenant of the name, address and
qualifications of such appraiser. Such two appraisers shall endeavor to agree upon Fair Market
Rental Value based on a written appraisal made by each of them as of the date of the Renewal Notice
(and given to Landlord by Tenant). If such two appraisers shall agree upon a Fair Market Rental
Value, the amount of such Fair Market Rental Value as so agreed shall be binding and conclusive
upon Landlord and Tenant.
(iii) If such two appraisers shall be unable to agree upon a Fair Market Rental Value within
thirty (30) days after the selection of an appraiser by Landlord, then such appraisers shall advise
Landlord and Tenant of their respective determination of Fair Market Rental Value and such
appraisers shall select a third appraiser to make the determination of Fair Market Rental Value.
The selection of the third appraiser shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant.
(iv) If such two appraisers shall be unable to agree upon the designation of a third appraiser
within ten (10) days after the expiration of the twenty (20) day period referred to in clause (iii)
above, or if such third appraiser does not make a determination of Fair Market Rental Value within
thirty (30) days after his selection, then such third appraiser or a substituted third appraiser,
as applicable, shall, at the request of either party hereto (with respect to the other party), be
appointed by the President or Chairman of the American Arbitration Association in New York, New
York. The determination of Fair Market Rental Value made by the third appraiser appointed pursuant
hereto shall be made within twenty (20) days after such appointment.
(v) If a third appraiser is selected, Fair Market Rental Value shall be the average of the
determination of Fair Market Rental Value made by the third appraiser and the determination of Fair
Market Rental Value made by the appraiser (selected pursuant to Paragraph 29(a)(ii) hereof) whose
determination of Fair Market Rental Value is nearest to that of the third appraiser. Such average
shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant.
-36-
(vi) All appraisers selected or appointed pursuant to this Paragraph 29(a) shall (A) be
independent qualified MAI appraisers (B) have no right, power or authority to alter or modify the
provisions of this Lease and (C) be registered in the States where the applicable Related Premises
is located if such State provides for or requires such registration.
(vii) The Cost of the procedure described in this Paragraph 29(a) above shall be split equally
by Tenant and Landlord.
(b) If, by virtue of any delay, Fair Market Rental Value is not determined by the expiration
or termination of the First Renewal Term, then until Fair Market Rental Value is determined, Tenant
shall continue to pay Basic Rent during the Second Renewal Term in the same amount which it was
obligated under this Lease to pay prior to the commencement of the Second Renewal Term. When Fair
Market Rental Value is determined, the appropriate Basic Rent shall be calculated retroactive to
the commencement of the Second Renewal Term and Tenant shall either receive a refund from Landlord
(in the case of an overpayment) or shall pay any deficiency to Landlord (in the case of an
underpayment).
(c) In determining Fair Market Rental Value, the appraisers shall determine with respect to
each Renewal Premises the amount that a willing tenant would pay, and a willing landlord of a
comparable building located in a radius of five (5) miles of each Related Premises would accept, at
arm’s length, to rent a building of comparable size and quality as the Improvements, taking into
account: (i) the age, quality, condition (as required by the Lease) of the Improvements; (ii) that
the Renewal Premises will be leased as a whole or substantially as a whole to a single user; (iii)
a lease term of ten (10) years; (iv) an absolute triple net lease; and (v) such other items that
professional real estate appraisers customarily consider.
30. Non-Recourse as to Landlord. Anything contained herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, any claim based on or in respect of any liability of Landlord under this Lease
shall be limited to actual damages and shall be enforced only against the Leased Premises and not
against any other assets, properties or funds of (a) Landlord, (b) any director, member, officer,
general partner, limited partner, employee or agent of Landlord, or any general partners or
shareholders of Landlord (or any legal representative, heir, estate, successor or assign of any
thereof), (c) any predecessor or successor partnership or corporation (or other entity) of
Landlord, or any of its general partners, either directly or through Landlord or its general
partners or any predecessor or successor partnership or corporation or their shareholders,
officers, directors, employees or agents (or other entity), or (d) any other Person (including
Xxxxx Property Advisors, Xxxxx Asset Management Corp., W. P. Xxxxx & Co., LLC, Xxxxx Management
LLC, and any Person affiliated with any of the foregoing, or any director, officer, employee or
agent of any thereof).
31. Financing.
(a) Tenant agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection
with the purchase, leasing and initial financing of the Leased Premises including, without
limitation, the cost of appraisals, environmental reports, title insurance, surveys, and reasonable
legal fees and expenses.
(b) If Landlord desires to obtain or refinance any Loan, Tenant shall agree, upon request of
Landlord, to supply any such Lender with such notices and information as Tenant is required to give
to Landlord hereunder and to extend the rights of Landlord hereunder to any such Lender and to
consent to such financing if such consent is requested by such Lender. Tenant shall execute any
subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement, so long as the same do not materially
adversely affect any right, benefit or privilege of Tenant under this Lease or increase Tenant’s
obligations under this Lease in any material respect. Such
-37-
subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement may require Tenant to confirm that (i)
Lender and its assigns will not be liable for any misrepresentation, act or omission of Landlord
and (ii) Lender and its assigns will not be subject to any counterclaim, demand or offsets which
Tenant may have against Landlord.
32. Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment. This Lease and Tenant’s interest
hereunder shall be subordinate to any Mortgage or other security instrument hereafter placed upon
the Leased Premises by Landlord, and to any and all advances made or to be made thereunder, to the
interest thereon, and all renewals, replacements and extensions thereof, provided that any such
Mortgage or other security instrument (or a separate instrument in recordable form duly executed by
the holder of any such Mortgage or other security instrument and delivered to Tenant) shall provide
for the recognition of this Lease and all Tenant’s rights hereunder subject to Landlord’s remedies
hereunder following an Event of Default or Landlord’s rights to terminate this Lease pursuant to
any applicable provision hereof.
33. Tax Treatment; Reporting. Landlord and Tenant each acknowledge that each shall treat
this transaction as a true lease for state law purposes and shall report this transaction as a
Lease for Federal income tax purposes. For Federal income tax purposes each shall report this
Lease as a true lease with Landlord as the owner of the Leased Premises and Equipment and Tenant as
the lessee of such Leased Premises and Equipment including: (i) treating Landlord as the owner of
the property eligible to claim depreciation deductions under Section 167 or 168 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) with respect to the Leased Premises and Equipment, (ii)
Tenant reporting its Rent payments as rent expense under Section 162 of the Code, and (iii)
Landlord reporting the Rent payments as rental income. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this
Lease shall be deemed to constitute a guaranty, warranty or representation by either Landlord or
Tenant as to the actual treatment of this transaction for state law purposes and for federal law
purposes.
34. Intentionally Omitted.
35. Right of First Refusal.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 35(h), and provided an Event of Default does not
then exist, if Landlord shall enter into a letter of intent or similar document, instrument or
agreement (the “LOI”) for the sale of the Leased Premises with a Third Party Purchaser
which LOI shall be conditioned upon Tenant’s failure to exercise its right under this Paragraph 35,
then promptly following the execution thereof, Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant,
together with a copy of the executed LOI.
(b) For a period of fifteen (15) days following receipt of such notice, Tenant shall have the
right, exercisable by written notice to Landlord given within said fifteen (15) day period, to
elect to purchase the Leased Premises at the purchase price and upon all the general business terms
and conditions set forth in the LOI except that no contingencies contained in such LOI as to
environmental assessments, engineering studies, inspection of the Leased Premises, availability of
financing, sale of other property, state of the title to or encumbrances on the Leased Premises, or
any other condition or contingency to the Third Party Purchaser’s obligation to purchase the Leased
Premises which would otherwise be the obligation of Tenant under this Lease, shall apply to
Tenant’s obligation to purchase the Leased Premises under this Paragraph 35, and Tenant shall be
obligated to purchase the Leased Premises without any such condition or contingency.
(c) If at the expiration of the aforesaid fifteen (15) day period Tenant shall have failed to
exercise the aforesaid option by written notice to Landlord, Landlord may sell the Leased Premises
to such Third Party Purchaser upon the terms set forth in the LOI.
-38-
(d) The closing date for any purchase of the Leased Premises by Tenant pursuant to this
Paragraph 35 shall be ninety (90) days after the date of Tenant’s notice to Landlord of its
intention to purchase the Leased Premises upon the general business terms of the LOI with a Third
Party Purchaser. At such closing Landlord shall convey the Leased Premises to Tenant in
accordance with, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord the purchase price and other consideration set
forth in, the LOI and otherwise in accordance with Paragraph 20.
(e) NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, IF TENANT FAILS TO EXERCISE THE RIGHT OF FIRST
REFUSAL GRANTED PURSUANT TO THIS PARAGRAPH 35 AND THE SALE TO THE THIRD PARTY PURCHASER IS
CONSUMMATED OR IF TENANT SHALL EXERCISE SUCH RIGHT AND THEREAFTER FAIL TO PURCHASE THE LEASED
PREMISES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF PARAGRAPH 35(d) OR IF THE TERM OF THIS LEASE SHALL
TERMINATE OR EXPIRE, SUCH RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL GRANTED PURSUANT TO THIS PARAGRAPH 35 SHALL
TERMINATE AND BE NULL AND VOID AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE AND EFFECT. IN SUCH EVENT TENANT SHALL
EXECUTE A QUITCLAIM DEED AND SUCH OTHER DOCUMENTS AS LANDLORD SHALL REASONABLY REQUEST EVIDENCING
THE TERMINATION OF ITS RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.
(f) For avoidance of doubt, Tenant’s rights under this Paragraph 35 shall remain in effect
until the Leased Premises are sold to a Third Party Purchaser;
(g) If Tenant does not exercise its right of first refusal to purchase the Leased Premises and
the Leased Premises are transferred to a Third Party Purchaser, Tenant will attorn to any Third
Party Purchaser as Landlord so long as such Third Party Purchaser and Landlord notify Tenant in
writing of such transfer. At the request of Landlord, Tenant will execute such documents
confirming the agreement referred to above and such other agreements as Landlord may reasonably
request, provided that such agreements do not increase the liabilities and obligations of Tenant
hereunder.

subjection to deed of trust or other hypothecation of Landlord’s interest in the Leased Premises,

benefit of Tenant so that the Improvements which are part of the Evansville Premises can be
connected to, and integrated with, the Adjacent Improvements, subject in all respects to the
requirements of Paragraph 39(b) and Paragraph 40. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the
Improvements which are part of the Evansville Premises and the Adjacent Improvements shall in all
respects be capable, without any modification except for the closure of the Party Wall (as defined
in Paragraph 40), of operating as independent buildings and, in this regard, shall have all
necessary easements and facilities to operate as a separate, independent buildings, including, but
not limited to, separate, independent and adequate parking, utilities, HVAC and building systems,

or cause to be provided to Landlord and Lender the following documents and items, all of which
shall be reasonably satisfactory in all respects to Landlord and Lender:

Adjacent Improvements (A) will comply with applicable zoning ordinances, including parking,
setback, lot size and density, or a variance or variances shall be obtained with respect thereto,

obligations of the parties with respect to support and maintenance of both the Improvements and
Adjacent Improvements.
(iii) A reciprocal easement and access agreement with respect to easements for shared

specifically provide that easement for access to and from the interior of the Adjacent Improvements
and Improvements (except with respect to access to service utility easements and the like) shall
automatically terminate upon the foreclosure of a Mortgage.
(iv) Landlord acknowledges that the construction of the Adjacent Improvements will require the
vacation of all or a portion of Oakley Street and agrees that it will convey or caused to be
conveyed to Tenant that portion of Oakley Street that will vest in Landlord as a matter of Law
without payment of any consideration for such conveyance.
40. Closure of Party Wall. Upon completion of the Adjacent Property, a party wall (the
“Party Wall”) shall be located in the position reasonably acceptable to Landlord and shall
separate and divide the Improvements from the Adjacent Improvements. Except as otherwise provided
in this Paragraph 40, the Party Wall shall be permitted to have an opening between the Improvements
and the Adjacent Improvements, subject in all events to compliance with applicable Legal
Requirements. At any time (a) following the occurrence of an Event of Default or (b) that the
Evansville Premises and the Adjacent Property shall cease to be operated by a single user as an
integrated facility, upon the written demand from Landlord (the “Party Wall Notice”),
Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly commence, and thereafter complete as soon as
reasonably practicable, permanent closure of the Party Wall which shall include the
-40-
permanent closure of existing overhead fire doors in the opening in the Party Wall, creation
of new fire exit doors in the party wall and construction of an emergency exit corridor as part of
the Improvements along the party wall located on the Land. The closure of the Party Wall shall be
performed in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 13 and any such other reasonable
construction procedures as may be requested by Landlord and/or Lender and shall be closed so that

the right to (i) complete or cause the completion of the closure of the Party Wall, in which event
Landlord shall have the right to enter onto the Evansville Premises at all times without liability
to Tenant for any disruption of Tenant’s business caused by such construction and (ii) Tenant shall
promptly reimburse Landlord for any and all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection
with the closure of the Party Wall.

interest. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent whenever such consent is
required under this Lease, except as otherwise provided herein and except that with respect to any
assignment of this Lease or subletting of any Related Premises not expressly permitted by the terms
of this Lease, Landlord may withhold its consent for any reason or no reason. In any instance in

all prior understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties hereto
relating to the Leased Premises and the transactions provided for herein. Landlord and Tenant are
business entities having substantial experience with the subject matter of this Lease and have each
fully participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Lease. Accordingly, this Lease shall be
construed without regard to the rule that ambiguities in a document are to be construed against the
drafter.

signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such modification, amendment, discharge or
waiver is sought.
(g) The covenants of this Lease shall run with the land and bind Tenant, its successors and

to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or

not will engage in any dealings or transactions or be otherwise associated with such persons or
entities.
(l) Each of Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that the State of New York has a substantial
relationship to the parties and to the underlying transaction embodied hereby, and in all respects
(including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, matters of construction, validity and
performance) this Lease and the obligations arising hereunder shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and performed
therein and all applicable law of the United States of America; except that,

objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or
proceeding in such County and State, and Tenant hereby expressly and irrevocably submits to the
jurisdiction of any such court in any suit, action or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing herein shall prevent or prohibit Landlord from instituting any suit, action or proceeding

BASIC RENT PAYMENTS
1. Basic Rent.
(a) Subject to the adjustments provided for in Paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 below, Basic Rent payable
in respect of the Term and the First Renewal Term shall be $6,640,000 per annum, payable monthly in
advance on each Basic Rent Payment Date, in equal installments of $553,333.34 each. Pro rata Basic
Rent for the period from the date hereof through the last day of January, 2008 shall be paid on the
date hereof.
(b) Renewal Term. Annual Basic Rent for the first year of the Second Renewal Term
shall be an amount equal to the Fair Market Rental Value as of the first day of the Second Renewal
Term, as determined in accordance with Paragraph 29 of this Lease, shall be payable in equal
monthly installments and shall be subject to the adjustments provided for in Paragraphs 2, 3 and 4
below.
2. CPI Adjustments to Basic Rent. The Basic Rent shall be subject to adjustment, in
the manner hereinafter set forth, for increases in the index known as United States Department of
Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumers, United States City
Average, All Items, (1982-84=100) (“CPI”) or the successor index that most closely approximates the
CPI. If the CPI shall be discontinued with no successor or comparable successor index, Landlord
and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon a substitute index or formula, but if they are unable to so
agree, then the matter shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with the rules of the
American Arbitration Association then prevailing in New York City. Any decision or award resulting
from such arbitration shall be final and binding upon Landlord and Tenant and judgment thereon may
be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. In no event will the annual Basic Rent as
adjusted by the CPI adjustment be less than the Basic Rent in effect for the one (1) year period
immediately preceding such adjustment.
3. Effective Dates of CPI Adjustments. Basic Rent shall not be adjusted to reflect
changes in the CPI until the second (2nd) anniversary of the Basic Rent Payment Date on
which the first full monthly installment of Basic Rent shall be due and payable (the “First
Full Basic Rent Payment Date”). As of the second (2nd) anniversary of the First
Full Basic Rent Payment Date (the “First Basic Rent Adjustment”) and on each anniversary of
the First Full Basic Rent Payment Date thereafter during the Initial Term and the First Renewal
Term and on each anniversary of the date on which the first full monthly installment of Basic Rent
for the Second Renewal Term shall be due and payable (the “First Full Second Renewal Term
Payment Date”) (each, a “Subsequent Basic Rent Adjustment”), Basic Rent shall be
adjusted to reflect increases in the CPI during the most recent one (1) year period immediately
preceding the second (2nd) anniversary of the First Full Basic Rent Payment Date with
respect to the First Basic Rent Adjustment and the most recent one (1) year period immediately
preceding each anniversary of the First Full Basic Rent Payment Date thereafter and the most recent
one (1) year period immediately preceding each anniversary of the First Full Second Renewal Term
Payment Date in all cases with respect to each Subsequent Basic Rent Adjustment (each adjustment
date being hereinafter referred to as the “Basic Rent Adjustment Date”).
4. Method of Adjustment for CPI Adjustment.
As of each Basic Rent Adjustment Date when the average CPI determined in clause (i) below
exceeds the Beginning CPI (as defined in this Paragraph 4(a)), the Basic Rent in effect immediately
prior to the applicable Basic Rent Adjustment Date shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator
of which shall be the difference between (i) the average CPI for the
three (3) most recent calendar months (the “Prior Months”) ending prior to such Basic Rent
Adjustment Date for which the CPI has been published on or before the forty-fifth (45th)
day preceding such Basic Rent Adjustment Date and (ii) the Beginning CPI, and the denominator of
which shall be the Beginning CPI. The product of such multiplication shall be added to the Basic
Rent in effect immediately prior to such Basic Rent Adjustment Date. As used herein,
“Beginning CPI” shall mean the average CPI for the three (3) calendar months corresponding
to the Prior Months, but occurring one (1) year earlier with respect to each Basic Rent Adjustment.
If the average CPI determined in clause (i) is the same or less than the Beginning CPI, the Basic
Rent will remain the same for the ensuing one (1) year period.
Effective as of a given Basic Rent Adjustment Date, Basic Rent payable under this Lease until
the next succeeding Basic Rent Adjustment Date shall be the Basic Rent in effect after the
adjustment provided for as of such Basic Rent Adjustment Date.
Notice of the new annual Basic Rent shall be delivered to Tenant on or before the tenth
(10th) day preceding each Basic Rent Adjustment Date, but any failure to do so by
Landlord shall not be or be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of Landlord’s rights to collect such
sums. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten (10) days after a notice of the new annual Basic
Rent is delivered to Tenant, all amounts due from Tenant, but unpaid, because the stated amount as
set forth above was not delivered to Tenant at least ten (10) days preceding the Basic Rent
Adjustment Date in question.
