(q) Section 12 of the Lease Agreement is hereby amended and restated to be read
in its entirety as follows:
SECTION 12. LESSEE'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE.
Section 12.1 Remarketing Option. Subject to the fulfillment of each of the
conditions set forth in this Section 12.1 and in Section 12.2 hereof (all of
such conditions, collectively, the "Surrender Conditions"), the Lessee may elect
to remarket all, but not
18
less than all, of the Property (such election being referred to as the
"Remarketing Option").
The effective exercise and consummation of the Remarketing Option by the Lessee
shall be subject to the due and timely fulfillment of each of the following
provisions as of the dates set forth below (the date of the closing of such sale
or other transfer of the Property following remarketing referred to herein as
the "Financing Termination Date").
(a) Not later than three hundred and sixty-four (364) days prior to the
expiration date of the KeyBank Financing Term or of the non-cancelable term of
any substitute or replacement financing under any successor Credit Agreement,
the Lessee shall have given to the Lessor and the other Lessor Parties written
notice (a "Remarketing Notice") of the Lessee's exercise of the Remarketing
Option, which exercise shall be irrevocable. Within thirty (30) days following
the date of the Remarketing Notice, the Lessor and the Lessee shall determine
the fair market value rental of the Property under this Lease which shall become
effective on the Financing Termination Date for the remainder of the Lease Term.
The fair market value rental shall be as agreed by the Lessor and the Lessee or,
if they are unable to agree within such thirty (30) day period, pursuant to the
Appraisal Procedure. Upon determination of such fair market value rental, the
Lessor and the Lessee shall execute an amendment to this Lease reflecting such
rental change and the effective date thereof.
(b) On the date of the Lessee's notice to the Lessor of the Lessee's exercise of
the Remarketing Option, no Event of Default or Default under this Lease or
Acceleration Event or Unmatured Acceleration Event (as such terms are defined in
the Credit Agreement) shall exist, and thereafter, no Event of Default or
Default under this Lease or Acceleration Event or Unmatured Acceleration Event
shall occur.
(c) Not later than sixty (60) days prior to the Financing Termination Date, the
Lessee shall deliver to the Lessor and the other Lessor Parties (x) an
Environmental Audit for the Property and (y) a current ALTA/ ACSM land title
survey (prepared in accordance with 1999 standards for an urban survey) with
respect to the Property. Each Environmental Audit described in this clause (c)
shall be prepared by an environmental consultant selected by the Agent in the
Agent's reasonable discretion and shall contain conclusions reasonably
satisfactory to the Agent as to the environmental status of the Property. If any
such Environmental Audit indicates any exceptions, the Lessee shall have also
delivered prior to the Financing Termination Date a Phase Two environmental
assessment by such environmental consultant and a written statement by such
environmental consultant indicating that all such exceptions have been remedied
in compliance with Applicable Law. Each ALTA Survey delivered pursuant to this
clause( c} shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.
(d) The Lessee shall have completed all modifications, restoration and
rebuilding (collectively, "Modifications") of the Property required pursuant to
Sections 9 and 15 hereof (as the case may be) and shall have fulfilled all of
the conditions and requirements in connection therewith pursuant to such
Sections, in each case prior to the
19
date on which the Lessee delivers its Remarketing Notice (time being of the
essence), regardless of whether the same shall be within the Lessee's control.
The Lessee shall have also paid the cost of all Modifications commenced prior to
the Financing Termination Date. All Modifications shall have been completed in
compliance with all Applicable Laws and Insurance Requirements. The Lessee shall
not be relieved pursuant to Section 28 from complying with any Applicable Law
relating to the Property that involved the extension of the ultimate imposition
of such Applicable Law beyond the Financing Termination Date. All Liens (other
than Permitted Liens) on the Property or any part thereof shall have been
removed.
(e) During the Marketing Period, the Lessee shall, as nonexclusive agent for the
Lessor, use best commercial efforts to obtain cash bids for the acquisition of
all of the Lessor's interest in and to the Property and will attempt in good
faith to obtain the highest purchase price for the Property and for not less
than the Fair Market Value of the Property (taking into account, and subject to,
the continuing leasehold interest of the Lessee under this Lease at fair market
value rental as determined under Section 12.I(a) above); Provided, however that
the Lessor or the Agent may, but shall be under no obligation to, market the
Property during the Marketing Period. In the event that the Lessee receives any
bid(s) for the Property, the Lessee shall, within five (5) Business Days after
its receipt thereof and at least twenty (20) Business Days prior to the
Financing Termination Date, certify to the Lessor and the Agent in writing the
amount and terms of such bid(s), and the name and address of the party or
parties submitting such bid. The Lessee shall bear its own expenses and pay, as
Additional Rent, the expenses of the Lessor, the Note Purchaser, the Agent and
the Liquidity Banks in connection with any such bidding and sale process
pursuant to this Section 12.1, as well as all costs and expenses incurred by any
Person (including a buyer or potential buyer) to cause the Property to be in the
condition required by this Section 12.1 and all costs of repairs, modifications
or improvements desired by any such buyer(s).
(f) The Lessee shall promptly upon request permit inspection of the Property and
any maintenance records relating to the Property by the Lessor and any potential
purchaser(s), and shall otherwise do all things reasonably necessary to sell and
deliver possession of the Property to any purchaser(s) thereof.
(g) The Lessee shall use all efforts reasonably requested by the Agent to
procure bids from one or more bona fide prospective purchasers and deliver the
same, if any, to the Lessor (with a copy to the Agent) not less than twenty (20)
days prior to the Financing Termination Date. No such purchaser shall be the
Lessee or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Lessee or any Person with whom the
Lessee has an understanding or arrangement regarding the future use of the
Property by the Lessee or such Subsidiary or Affiliate, but such purchaser may
be any Lessor Party or any Affiliate of the foregoing or any Person contacted by
the Lessor, the Agent, the Note Purchaser or any Liquidity Bank. Each written
offer must specify the Financing Termination Date as the effective date of the
sale unless the Lessor, the Agent, and the Note Purchaser shall otherwise agree,
each in its sole discretion.
20
(h) The Lessee shall submit all bids, if any, to the Lessor (with a copy to the
Agent) and any Lessor Party will have the right to submit anyone or more bids.
Any sale by the Lessee shall be for the highest cash bid submitted to the
Lessor. The determination of the highest bid shall be made by the Agent prior to
the end of the Marketing Period, but in no event shall the Agent have any
obligation to approve any bid unless such bid, together with the Maximum
Recourse Amount, if funded, equals or exceeds the sum of the Outstanding Lease
Balance and all accrued and unpaid Basic Rent and Additional Rent. All bids
shall be on an all-cash basis unless the Agent, the Lessor and the other Lessor
Parties shall otherwise agree.
(i) In connection with any such sale of the Lessor's interest in and to the
Property, the Lessee will provide to the purchaser all customary "seller's"
indemnities and representations and warranties regarding title (subject to the
Lessee's rights and obligations under this Lease), absence of Liens (other than
Permitted Liens) and the condition of the Property as reasonably required by the
Lessor, including, without limitation, an environmental indemnity, to the extent
the same are reasonably requested by the purchaser and factually accurate. The
Lessee shall have obtained, at no cost or expense to the Lessor, all required
governmental and regulatory consents and approvals and shall have made all
filings as required by Applicable Law in order to carry out and complete the
transfer of the Property. As to the Lessor, any such sale shall be made on an
"as is, with all faults" basis without representation or warranty by the Lessor
other than as to the absence of Lessor Liens. Any agreement as to such sale
shall be made subject to the Lessor's rights to receive the proceeds of such
sale in cash up to an amount equal to the Outstanding Lease Balance on the date
of such sale, plus all accrued and unpaid Basic Rent plus any Additional Rent
due and owing (including any amounts due under the Credit Agreement).
(j) The Lessee shall pay directly, and not from the sale proceeds, all
prorations, credits, costs and expenses of any such sale of the Property,
whether incurred by the Lessor or the Lessee, including the cost of all title
insurance, surveys, Environmental Audits and other environmental reports,
appraisals, transfer taxes, the reasonable attorneys' fees of the Lessor,
commissions, escrow fees, recording fees and all applicable documentary' and
other transfer taxes.
(k) On or prior to the Financing Termination Date, the Lessee shall, whether or
not any or all of the Property has been sold, pay or cause to be paid to the
Agent for repayment of the outstanding balance of the Notes and the Equity
investment in the manner and priority specified in Article XI of the Credit
Agreement (or in the case of Additional Rent, to the Person entitled thereto) on
a Basic Rent Payment Date an amount equal to the sum of (i) all unpaid Basic
Rent due on or prior to the Financing Termination Date, plus (ii) the gross sale
proceeds, if any, from the sale of the Property, as adjusted for any prorations
of property taxes and utility charges ("Gross Sales Proceeds"), less any
marketing, closing or other costs, including sales commissions, plus (iii) the
excess, if any, of the Outstanding Lease Balance over the Gross Sales Proceeds;
provided, that so long as no Default, Event of Default, Acceleration Event or
Unmatured Acceleration Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the amount
of such excess so payable shall not be greater than the Maximum Recourse Amount,
plus (y) without
21
duplication, all Additional Rent due and owing on the Financing Termination Date
after giving effect to such payment plus (z) all other amounts under the Credit
Documents which have accrued or will accrue prior to or as of the Financing
Termination Date.
(1) The Lessee shall pay to the Lessor on or prior to the Financing Termination
Date the amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to the Credit Agreement.
(m) The sale of the Property shall be consummated on the Financing Termination
Date and the Gross Sales Proceeds of the sale of the Property shall be paid
directly to the Lessor.
(n) To the extent that the Gross Sales Proceeds from such sale exceeds the
Outstanding Lease Balance, any Additional Rent then due and owing, and together
with any unpaid Basic Rent, then the excess arising hereunder (the "Excess
Remarketing Proceeds"), shall be paid to the Lessee on the Financing Termination
Date (provided that the Lessee shall have paid all amounts due pursuant to
clause (k) above). If the Property has not been sold on or prior to the
Financing Termination Date and any such sale is consummated at any time
thereafter, then, if after giving effect to such sale there would be any Excess
Remarketing Proceeds, the Lessor shall remit to the Lessee, promptly after the
consummation of such sale, an amount equal to the Excess Remarketing Proceeds
minus the Imputed Return, determined as of the date of such sale.
Section 12.2 Procedures. If No Sale During Marketing Period. If the Lessee
effectively elects the Remarketing Option and each of the conditions and
requirements set forth in Section 12.1 hereof shall have been satisfied, but,
nevertheless, the Lessee is unable to obtain bids for the Property satisfactory
to the Agent pursuant to Section 12.1(h) above and the Property remains unsold
at the end of the Marketing Period, then the Lessee shall, in addition to making
the payments required pursuant to Sections 12.1(k) and 12.1(1) above, surrender
the Property to the Lessor (or to any other Person specified by the Lessor). In
connection with such surrender of the Property, the Lessee shall, at its own
cost and expense, do each of the following or otherwise comply with this Section
12.2:

in the condition required by the Surrender Conditions and in compliance with
Applicable Law;
(d) on or prior to the Financing Termination Date, the Lessee shall deliver to
the Lessor or any Person designated by the Lessor copies of all books and

12.1(1) above plus (B) the net sales proceeds of the disposition of the

otherwise paid by the Lessee or the Guarantor plus (C) any unpaid Basic Rent or

forth in such provision (time being of the essence), then the Lessor (without
prejudice by any delay in doing so) shall declare by written notice to the
Lessee the Remarketing Option to be null and void, in which event all of the
rights of the Lessee under Section 12.1 above shall immediately terminate and,
as a consequence of the Lessee's failure to comply with such Remarketing
Conditions, the Lessee shall be deemed to have exercised its Purchase Option
with respect to the Property and the Lessee shall purchase all of the Property
on the Financing Termination Date in accordance with the provisions of Section
13(b) below.
Section 12.4 Sales. Except as expressly set forth in Section 12.1 above, the

obligations of the Lessee to pay Basic Rent and Additional Rent with respect to
the Property (including any installment of Rent due on the Financing Termination
Date) shall continue undiminished.;

in its entirety as follows:
SECTION 13. LESSEE'S RIGHTS OF PURCHASE AND RENEWAL.

Lessee shall have the option ("Purchase Option") to purchase from the Lessor all
of the Lessor's interest in and to the Property for the price ("Purchase Option
Price") set forth below.
(a) Purchase of Property. The Lessee shall have the irrevocable option to
acquire all, but not less than all, of the Lessor's interest in and to the
Property on (x) any Basic Rent Payment Date or (y) the expiration date of the
KeyBank Financing Term or of the non-cancelable term of any substitute or
replacement financing under any successor Credit Agreement, at a Purchase Option
Price equal to the Outstanding Lease Balance of this Lease plus all accrued and
unpaid Basic Rent and any Additional Rent due and owing under this Lease and any
other amounts due under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents,
with the amount of such Outstanding Lease Balance, Basic Rent and Additional
Rent to be determined as of such date of purchase. The Lessee's exercise of its
option pursuant to this clause (a) shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i) if the purchase date is not the expiration date of the KeyBank Financing
Term or of the non-cancelable term of any substitute or replacement financing
under any successor Credit Agreement, then the Lessee shall have delivered a
Purchase Notice at least sixty (60) days prior to such purchase date; and
(ii) if the Purchase Option is exercised by the Lessee following the occurrence
of an Event of Default, (A) such exercise by the Lessee of the Purchase Option
shall not require the Lessor to cease exercising its rights and remedies under
this Lease unless and until the Lessee completes the purchase of the Property
pursuant to this Section 13.1, and (B) the Lessee completes the purchase of the
Property pursuant to this Section 13.1 prior to the earlier of the Financing
Termination Date and the date the Lessor completes any judicial or non-judicial
foreclosure sale of the Property or similar action terminating the Lessee's
possessory interest in the Property.
Any Purchase Notice delivered in connection with an acquisition of the Lessor's
fee interest in and to the Property pursuant to this clause (a) shall be
irrevocable upon delivery thereof. Provided that no Default, Event of Default,
Acceleration Event or Unmatured Acceleration Event shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Lessor shall
24
act in good faith to accommodate any refinancing activities undertaken by the
Lessee which are scheduled to take effect within ninety (90) days prior to the
expiration date of the KeyBank Financing Term.
(b) Procedures Upon Exercise of a Purchase Option. If the Lessee exercises the
Purchase Option pursuant to this Section 13.1 then, upon the receipt by the
Lessor of the Purchase Option Price and all other amounts due in connection
therewith and the satisfaction of any additional conditions specified in Section
13.1(a) hereof, the Lessor shall transfer to the Lessee or its designee all of
the Lessor's right, title and interest in and to the Property "AS IS" and in its
then present physical condition, such transfer to be effective as of the date
specified in the Purchase Notice. The Lessor shall execute and deliver to the
Lessee (or to the Lessee's designee), at the Lessee's cost and expense, a grant
deed and a xxxx of sale or other appropriate conveyance document with respect to
all buildings and containing representations and warranties of grantor regarding
the absence of Lessor Liens and a conveyance of the Lessor's entire interest in
the Property (which shall include an assignment of all of the Lessor's right,
title and interest in and to any net insurance proceeds with respect to the
Property not previously received by the Lessor and an assignment and assumption
of leases of such Property), in each case in recordable form and otherwise in
conformity with local custom and free and clear of Liens created by the Credit
Documents that are attributable to the Lessor Parties, and any Lessor Liens. The
Lessor shall, at the Lessee's sole cost and expense, execute and deliver to the
Lessee and the Lessee's title insurance company an affidavit as to the Lessor's
title to the Property and the absence of Lessor Liens attributable to the Lessor
on the Property. The Lessee may designate, in a notice given to the Lessor not
less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the closing of such purchase (time
being of the essence), the transferee or transferees to whom the conveyance

and (ii) if the Lessor shall so elect, demand that the Lessee pay to the Lessor,
and the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor, on the date of such sale, as liquidated
damages for loss of a bargain and not as a penalty (the parties agreeing that
the Lessor's actual damages would be difficult to predict, but the
aforementioned liquidated damages represent a reasonable approximation of such
amount) (in lieu of Basic Rent due for periods commencing after the Basic Rent
Payment Date coinciding with such date of sale (or, if the sale date is not a
Basic Rent Payment Date, the Basic Rent Payment Date next preceding the date of
such sale>>, an amount equal to (A) the excess, if any, of (1) the Outstanding

portion thereof;

the Lessor's interest under this Lease; or

or any part of the Property for the Lessee's account to any Person, for such
term (which may be a period beyond the remaining Lease Term), at such rents and
on such other terms and conditions as are commercially reasonable. If the rents
received by the Lessor from such subletting, after application as provided
above, are insufficient in any period to pay Basic Rent and Additional Rent due
and payable hereunder for such period, the Lessee shall pay such deficiency to
the Lessor upon demand. Notwithstanding any such subletting for the Lessee's
account without termination, the Lessor may at any time thereafter, by written
notice to the Lessee, elect to terminate this Lease by virtue of a previous
Event of Default;

reimbursement of the Lessee for any costs and expenses incurred by the Lessee in
connection therewith and without prejudice to any other remedy which the Lessor
may have for possession of the Property, and to the extent and in the manner
permitted by Applicable Law, enter upon the land and take immediate possession
of (to the exclusion of the Lessee) the Property therein or any part thereof and
expel or remove the Lessee, by summary proceedings or otherwise, all without
liability to the Lessee for or by reason of such entry or taking of possession,
whether for the restoration of damage to property caused by such taking or
otherwise and, in addition to the other damages of the Lessor, the Lessee shall
be responsible for all
32
costs and expenses incurred by the Lessor in connection with any reletting of
all or any of the Property (including reasonable brokers' fees) and all costs of
any repairs or alterations made by the Lessor;
