provided written notice to WAAC pursuant to Paragraph 3(f) hereof of its
election to obtain a New Lease directly. The New Lease shall contain the
same terms and conditions as are contained in the Lease Purchase Agreement
currently in force and effect (it being agreed that modifications to the
Lease Purchase Agreement made after the effective date hereof shall not be
enforceable against Pace), with (i) the minimum amount of modifications as
may be necessary to accommodate the fact that Pace is a corporation
instead of a municipality and (ii) such modifications as may be necessary
to incorporate into the New Lease provisions substantially similar to
those contained in Article 10.0 of the Operating Lease.
(e) Pace shall reimburse WAAC for all out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by WAAC (including reasonable attorney's fees) in performing its
obligations under this Paragraph 3.
(f) If, following the occurrence of a Termination Event, Pace or
the then tenant under the Operating Lease fails to exercise its right to
obtain a New Lease within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Termination
Notice, then each Mortgagee (as such term is defined in Section 10.2 of
the Operating Lease) which has provided notice to the other parties hereto
pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 9(b) of this Agreement shall be
entitled to an additional thirty (30) day period thereafter, commencing
upon the expiration of said sixty (60) day period, to directly exercise
the rights created in favor of Pace pursuant
-4-
to Paragraph 3(b) hereof by providing written notice of such election
within such additional thirty (30) day period. If more than one Mortgagee
makes the election referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, then
the one whose lien is superior in priority shall be entitled to the rights
associated with such election. If any Mortgagee should exercise its right
to directly obtain a New Lease pursuant to the foregoing provisions, then
the New Lease shall provide that such Mortgagee shall thereafter have a
one-time right to assign its leasehold interest under such New Lease to an
experienced operator of permanent outdoor entertainment facilities
substantially similar to the Amphitheater without the prior written
consent of WAAC or Trustee and that such Mortgagee shall be released from
its obligations under the New Lease upon completing such permitted
assignment if the experienced operator assignee expressly assumes all
obligations of the "Lessee" under the New Lease.
(g) Without limiting the generality of the provisions contained in
Paragraph 10 hereof, it is specifically understood, agreed and
acknowledged that the rights of Pace created pursuant to the provisions of
this Agreement shall be (x) enforceable by any assignee of Pace who
validly acquires its rights, titles and interests created under the
Operating Lease and any Mortgagee (as such term is defined in Section 10.2
of the Operating Lease) and (y) enforceable against any assignee of WAAC's
interest in the Lease Purchase Agreement or the Ground Lease including,
without limitation, Trustee.
(h) Any New Lease which may be entered into pursuant to the
provisions of this Paragraph 3 shall be of equal priority to the Lease
Purchase Agreement and shall in all events be prior and superior to any
liens, leases or other encumbrances created after the date hereof.
4. Trustee's Recognition and Non-disturbance Agreement.
(a) The holding of a foreclosure sale, conveyance in lieu of
foreclosure, or other exercise by Trustee of any of its rights under the
Deed of Trust or any other security documents executed in connection
therewith shall not (i) terminate the Lease Purchase Agreement or any New
Lease previously created pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 3(b) of
this Agreement or (ii) terminate the continuing rights created in favor of
Pace pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 3 hereof.
(b) Upon the acquisition of WAAC's interest in the Amphitheater by
any person or entity, including Trustee (herein any such person or entity,
including Trustee, being called "New Owner"), whether such acquisition
occurs through purchase at a foreclosure sale, conveyance in lieu of
foreclosure or any other exercise by Trustee of any of its rights under
the Deed of Trust or any other document executed in connection therewith,
New
-5-
Owner shall be (i) subject to the rights created in favor of Pace pursuant
to the provisions of Paragraph 3 hereof and (ii) bound to the tenant under
the Lease Purchase Agreement or the tenant under any New Lease previously
created pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 3 of this Agreement under
all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease Purchase Agreement
or such New Lease; provided, however, that New Owner shall not be:
(i) liable for any act or omission of any prior lessor
(including WAAC);
(ii) subject to any offsets or defenses which the tenant under
the Lease Purchase Agreement or any such New Lease might have
against any prior lessor; or
(iii) bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease
Purchase Agreement or any such New Lease made without its consent
and written approval.
5. Attornment Agreement. Upon the acquisition of WAAC's interest in the
Amphitheater by a New Owner, whether such acquisition occurs through purchase at
a foreclosure sale, conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or any other exercise by
Trustee of any of its rights under the Deed of Trust or any other document
executed in connection therewith, the following provisions shall apply:
(a) If, at the time New Owner acquires WAAC's interest in the
Amphitheater, the Lease Purchase Agreement is still in full force and
effect, then City shall be deemed to have attorned (and does hereby
attorn) to the New Owner, as the new landlord under the Lease Purchase
Agreement; provided, however, that City shall be under no obligation to
pay rent to the New Owner until City receives written notice from New
Owner that it has succeeded to the interest of WAAC under the Lease
Purchase Agreement.
(b) If, at the time New Owner acquires WAAC's interest in the
Amphitheater, a New Lease has been previously entered into pursuant to the
provisions of Paragraph 3(b) of this Agreement, then Pace shall be deemed
to have attorned (and does hereby attorn) to New Owner, as the new
landlord under such New Lease; provided, however, that Pace shall be under
no obligation to pay rent to New Owner until Pace receives written notice
from New Owner that it has succeeded to the interest of WAAC under such
New Lease.
6. Agreements of City in Favor of Pace.
(a) City hereby specifically agrees and acknowledges that all of the
rights and privileges created under the Operating Lease in favor of Pace
shall be fully and completely recognized
-6-
by City and enforceable against City regardless of whether the Ground
Lease is in existence or not and regardless of whether City's possessory
interest in and to the Amphitheater exists pursuant to (i) its rights
under the Lease Purchase Agreement, (ii) the purchase or other acquisition
of WAAC's interest in and to the Amphitheater under the Ground Lease,
(iii) its fee simple estate in the Amphitheater Site or (iv) any other
legal reason or means whatsoever.
(b) By way of clarification of the foregoing provisions, but not by
way of limitation, should (x) the Operating Lease ever terminate as a
result of City having lost its possessory interest in and to the
Amphitheater because of a termination of the Lease Purchase Agreement or
for any other reason, (y) Pace continue to use and operate the
Amphitheater continuously thereafter pursuant to a New Lease or otherwise
and (z) City subsequently obtain a possessory interest in and to the
Amphitheater as a result of a termination of the Ground Lease or for any
other reason, then City shall be obligated to reinstate the Operating
Lease in favor of Pace at the time of such acquisition of a possessory
interest in and to the Amphitheater by City for its then remaining term in
the same manner as if the Operating Lease had been in force and effect and
fully performed since termination thereof and as if it had been renewed
pursuant to its terms.
(c) If Pace or a Mortgagee should obtain a New Lease following a
Termination Event pursuant to the rights created in Paragraph 3 of this
Agreement, then upon reinstatement of the Operating Lease with City
pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 6(b) hereof following termination
of the Ground Lease, the tenant under such reinstated Operating Lease
shall not be obligated to make payment of rental payments, renewal fees or
other amounts otherwise payable under such reinstated Operating Lease
until the balance of the Excess Payment Account (hereinafter defined) has
been reduced to zero, it being agreed that the tenant under such
reinstated Operating Lease shall receive a dollar for dollar credit
against its obligation to make rental payments, renewal fees and other
amounts payable under such reinstated Operating Lease to the extent of any
positive balance in the Excess Payment Account. As used herein the
following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
(i) "Excess Payment Account" shall mean a bookkeeping account
only which shall have an initial balance of zero. The balance of the
Excess Payment Account shall be increased on the last day of each
and every calendar year following the entering into of a New Lease

calendar year and (B) an amount equal to the product of (x) the
prime rate of interest then charged by large U.S. money center banks
and (y) the then balance of the Excess
-7-
Payment Account as of the last day of such calendar year following
the increase made pursuant to clause (A) for such calendar year (if
any) and following the decrease made pursuant to clause (C) for such
calendar year (if any). The balance of the Excess Payment Account
shall be decreased (C) on the last day of each and every calendar
year following the entering into of a New Lease by the Deficit
Payment Amount (hereinafter defined) for such calendar year and (D)
on the due date of each rental payment under the Operating Lease
after it has been reinstated with City pursuant to the provisions of
Paragraph 6(b) hereof by an amount equal to such rental payment or
such portion of such rental payment which will have the effect of
reducing the balance of the Excess Payment Account to zero.
(ii) "Excess Payment Amount" shall mean, for any calendar
year, the amount by which all rental payments due during such
calendar year under a New Lease exceed (if any) the aggregate amount
of rental payments which would have been payable under the Operating
Lease during such calendar year if it had not been previously
terminated.
(iii) "Deficit Payment Amount" shall mean, for any calendar
year, the amount by which all rental payments due during such
calendar year under a New Lease are less than (if any) the aggregate
amount of rental payments which would have been payable under the
Operating Lease during such calendar year if it had not been
terminated.
(d) Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Paragraph
10 hereof, it is specifically understood, agreed and acknowledged that (i)
the obligations undertaken by City in this Paragraph 6 shall be
enforceable against any and all assignees of all or any portion of City's
interest in the Amphitheater and (ii) the rights created in favor of Pace
and Mortgagee pursuant to this Paragraph 6 shall inure to the benefit of
Pace, Mortgagee and their respective successors and assigns.
(e) Pace shall have the specific right and authority, as tenant
under the Operating Lease, to perform any obligation of City under the
Lease Purchase Agreement on behalf of City. Any payment made or sum
expended by Pace in fulfilling any obligation of City under the Lease
Purchase Agreement shall be credited against rental obligations due from
Pace to City under and pursuant to the terms of the Operating Lease.
(f) City hereby specifically covenants and agrees with Pace that it
will apply all rental amounts received by City under and pursuant to the

towards payment of its rental obligations under the Lease Purchase
Agreement.
