Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1, upon expiration or termination of the Facility Lease in accordance with the terms thereof, the Term hereof shall terminate automatically. The subleasing
2

Section 2.3. Subordinate to Site Lease, Etc. This Agreement is subject to all the terms and conditions of the Site Lease. Any termination, expiration or cancellation of the Site Lease shall terminate this Site Sublease automatically and without any further act of any Person. Site Sublessee shall undertake and perform, for the benefit of Site Sublessor, all duties and obligations of Site Lessee under the Site Lease and shall not take any action, or fail to take any action, which action or failure would constitute or result in a Site Lease Event of Default under the Site Lease.

The Subrent and such supplemental rent payable during the Initial Sublease Term or during each Renewal Term shall be paid as and when due under the Site Lease.

3
Section 4.2. Renewal Term Subrent. As rent for the Ground Interest during each Renewal Term, Site Sublessee shall pay to Site Sublessor a Subrent equal to all rent due and payable under the Site Lease for the corresponding period.

ARTICLE V
SURRENDER OF FACILITY SITE
Upon any expiration or earlier termination of the Term and satisfaction of the requirements specified in Section 5 of the Facility Lease, Site Sublessee shall surrender the Ground Interest into the possession of Site Sublessor without representation or warranty other than a warranty that the Ground Interest is free and clear of all Liens other than Owner Participant’s Liens and Permitted Liens and that the Facility and Facility Site are in the condition required by the Facility Lease.
