2.1 Leased Property.

(a) those certain tracts, pieces and parcels of land, as more particularly described in Exhibits A-1 through A-35, attached hereto and made a part hereof (the "Land");

(b) all buildings, structures and other improvements of every kind including, but not limited to, underground storage tanks, alleyways and connecting tunnels, sidewalks, utility pipes, conduits and lines (on-site and off-site), parking areas and roadways appurtenant to such buildings and structures presently situated upon the Land (collectively, the "Leased Improvements");

(c) all easements, rights and appurtenances relating to the Land and the Leased Improvements;

(d) all equipment, machinery and fixtures integral to the operation of the Leased Improvements, and other items of property now or hereafter permanently affixed or integral to or incorporated into the Leased Improvements, including, without limitation, all retail fuel pumps and piping connecting fuel storage tanks to such pumps,

- 12 -

furnaces, boilers, heaters, electrical equipment, heating, plumbing, lighting, ventilating, refrigerating, incineration, air and water pollution control, waste disposal, air-cooling and air-conditioning systems and apparatus, sprinkler systems and fire and theft protection equipment, all of which, to the maximum extent permitted by law, are hereby deemed by the parties hereto to constitute real estate, together with all replacements, modifications, alterations and additions thereto, but specifically excluding all items included within the category of Tenant's Personal Property (collectively, the "Fixtures");

(e) all of the Leased Intangible Property; and

(f) any and all leases of space in the Leased Improvements.

2.2 Condition of Leased Property. Tenant acknowledges receipt and delivery of possession of the Leased Property and Tenant accepts the Leased Property in its "as is" condition, subject to the rights of parties in possession, the existing state of title, including all covenants, conditions, restrictions, reservations, mineral leases, easements and other matters of record or that are visible or apparent on the Leased Property, all applicable Legal Requirements, the lien of any financing instruments, mortgages and deeds of trust existing prior to the Commencement Date or permitted by the terms of this Agreement, and such other matters which would be disclosed by an inspection of the Leased Property and the record title thereto or by an accurate survey thereof. TENANT REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS INSPECTED THE LEASED PROPERTY AND ALL OF THE FOREGOING AND HAS FOUND THE CONDITION THEREOF SATISFACTORY AND IS NOT RELYING ON ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF LANDLORD OR LANDLORD'S AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES WITH RESPECT THERETO AND TENANT WAIVES ANY CLAIM OR ACTION AGAINST LANDLORD IN RESPECT OF THE CONDITION OF THE LEASED PROPERTY. LANDLORD MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN RESPECT OF THE LEASED PROPERTY OR ANY PART THEREOF, EITHER AS TO ITS FITNESS FOR USE, DESIGN OR CONDITION FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP THEREIN, LATENT OR PATENT, IT BEING AGREED THAT ALL SUCH RISKS ARE TO BE BORNE BY TENANT. To the maximum extent permitted by law, however, Landlord hereby assigns to Tenant all of Landlord's rights to proceed against any predecessor in interest or insurer for breaches of warranties or representations or for latent defects in the Leased Property. Landlord shall fully cooperate with Tenant in the prosecution of any such claims, in Landlord's or Tenant's name, all at Tenant's sole cost and expense. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Landlord from and against any loss, cost, damage or liability (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Landlord in connection with such cooperation.

2.3 Fixed Term. The initial term of this Agreement (the "Fixed Term") shall commence on the Commencement Date and shall expire on June 30, 2035.

2.4 Extended Terms. Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Tenant shall have the right to extend the Term for two (2) consecutive renewal terms of fifteen (15) years each (each, an “Extended Term,” and collectively, the “Extended Terms”) with respect to all, but not less than all of the Properties.

- 13 -

Each Extended Term shall commence on the day succeeding the expiration of the Fixed Term or the preceding Extended Term, as the case may be. All of the terms, covenants and provisions of this Agreement shall apply to each such Extended Term, except that (x) the Minimum Rent payable during such Extended Term shall be the greater of the Prior Rent and the Fair Market Value Rent for the Leased Property (such Fair Market Value Rent to be determined by agreement of the parties or, absent agreement, by an appraiser designated by Landlord) (taking into account that the Base Year shall remain unchanged) and (y) Tenant shall have no right to extend the Term beyond the expiration of the Extended Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.4, “Prior Rent” shall mean an amount equal to the per annum Minimum Rent in effect on the last day of the Fixed Term or Extended Term immediately preceding such Extended Term. If Tenant shall elect to exercise either of the aforesaid options, it shall do so by giving Landlord Notice thereof not later than one (1) year prior to the scheduled expiration of the then current Term of this Agreement (Fixed or Extended, as the case may be), it being understood and agreed that time shall be of the essence with respect to the giving of such Notice. Tenant may not exercise its option for more than one such Extended Term at a time. If Tenant shall fail to give any such Notice timely, this Agreement shall automatically terminate at the end of the Term then in effect and Tenant shall have no further option to extend the Term of this Agreement. If Tenant shall give such Notice, the extension of this Agreement shall be automatically effected without the execution of any additional documents; it being understood and agreed, however, that Tenant and Landlord shall execute such documents and agreements as either party shall reasonably require to evidence the same.

Article 3

RENT

3.1 Rent. Tenant shall pay, in lawful money of the United States of America which shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, without offset, abatement, demand or deduction (unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement), Minimum Rent and Additional Rent to Landlord and Additional Charges to the party to whom such Additional Charges are payable, during the Term. All payments to Landlord shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds or by other means acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion. Rent for any partial calendar month shall be prorated on a per diem basis.

3.1.1 Minimum Rent.

(a) Payments. Minimum Rent shall be paid in equal monthly installments in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar month during the Term for the preceding calendar month.

(b) Adjustments of Minimum Rent Following Disbursements Under Sections 5.1.2(b), 10.2.3 and 11.2. Effective on the date of each disbursement to pay for the cost of any repairs, maintenance, renovations, improvements or replacements pursuant to Sections 5.1.2(b), 10.2.3 or 11.2, the annual Minimum Rent shall be increased by a per annum amount equal to the Disbursement Rate times the amount so disbursed.

3.1.2 Additional Rent.

- 14 -

(a) Amount. Tenant shall pay additional rent (“Additional Rent”) with respect to each Lease Year (or portion thereof) during the Term subsequent to the Initial Base Year, with respect to each Property, in an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the amount by which Gross Revenues at such Property during such Lease Year exceed Gross Revenues at such Property during the Initial Base Year (or the equivalent portion thereof). In addition, Tenant shall pay Additional Rent with respect to each Lease Year (or portion thereof) during the Term subsequent to the 2019 Base Year, with respect to each Property, in an amount equal to one-half percent (0.5%) of the amount by which Gross Revenues at such Property during such Lease Year exceed Gross Revenues at such Property during the 2019 Base Year (or the equivalent portion thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, the payment of Additional Rent based on Gross Revenues in excess of Gross Revenues for the Initial Base Year and the payment of Additional Rent based on Gross Revenues in excess of Gross Revenues for the 2019 Base Year are separate and independent obligations.

(b) Quarterly Installments. Installments of Additional Rent for each Lease Year during the Term, or portion thereof, shall be calculated and paid quarterly in arrears, on the first Business Day of the subsequent quarter, together with an Officer's Certificate setting forth the calculation of Additional Rent due and payable for such quarter.

(c) Reconciliation of Additional Rent. In addition, within seventy-five (75) days after the end of the Base Year and each Lease Year thereafter (or any portion thereof occurring during the Term), Tenant shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Landlord (i) a financial report setting forth the Gross Revenues for each Property for such preceding Lease Year, or portion thereof, together with an Officer's Certificate, signed by an officer of Tenant, certifying that, to the best of Tenant's knowledge, such report is true, correct and complete, and (ii) a statement showing Tenant's calculation of Additional Rent due for such preceding Lease Year based on the Gross Revenues set forth in such financial report, together with an Officer's Certificate, signed by an officer of Tenant, certifying that, to the best of Tenant's knowledge, such statement is true, correct and complete.

If the annual Additional Rent for such preceding Lease Year as set forth in Tenant's statement thereof exceeds the amount previously paid with respect thereto by Tenant, Tenant shall pay such excess to Landlord at such time as the statement is delivered, together with interest at the Interest Rate, which interest shall accrue from the close of such preceding Lease Year until the date that such statement is required to be delivered and, thereafter, such interest shall accrue at the Overdue Rate, until the amount of such difference shall be paid or otherwise discharged. If the annual Additional Rent for such preceding Lease Year as shown in such statement is less than the amount previously paid with respect thereto by Tenant, Landlord shall grant Tenant a credit against the Additional Rent next coming due in the amount of such difference, together with interest at the Interest Rate, which interest shall accrue from the date of payment by Tenant until the date such credit is applied or paid, as the case may be. If such credit cannot be made because the Term has expired prior to application in full thereof, Landlord shall

- 15 -

pay the unapplied balance of such credit to Tenant, together with interest at the Interest Rate, which interest shall accrue from the date of payment by Tenant until the date of payment by Landlord.

(d) Confirmation of Additional Rent. Tenant shall utilize, or cause to be utilized, an accounting system for the Leased Property in accordance with its usual and customary practices and in all material respects in accordance with GAAP, which will accurately record all Gross Revenues and Tenant shall retain, for at least three (3) years after the expiration of each Lease Year, reasonably adequate records conforming to such accounting system showing all Gross Revenues for such Lease Year. Landlord, at its own expense, shall have the right, exercisable by Notice to Tenant, to review Tenant's books and records and/or to retain an independent public accounting firm of Landlord's choice to audit the information set forth in the Officer's Certificate referred to in subparagraph (c) above and, in connection with any such audit, to examine Tenant's books and records with respect thereto (including supporting data and sales and excise tax returns). Landlord shall begin any such review or audit as soon as reasonably possible following its receipt of the applicable Officer's Certificate (or in the case of an audit after a review, promptly following completion of the review) and shall complete such review or audit as soon as reasonably possible thereafter. Any such review or audit shall be performed at the location where such books and records are customarily kept and in such a manner so as to minimize any interference with Tenant's business operations. If any such review of Tenant's books and records by Landlord discloses a deficiency in the payment of Additional Rent and Tenant agrees, or the decision of any arbitration shall have been that there shall have been a deficiency in payment of Additional Rent, Tenant shall forthwith pay to Landlord the amount of such deficiency together with interest at the Interest Rate from the date such payment should have been made to the date of payment thereof. If any such audit discloses a deficiency in the payment of Additional Rent, Tenant shall forthwith pay to Landlord the amount of the deficiency, as determined by such audit, together with interest at the Interest Rate, from the date such payment should have been made to the date of payment thereof. If any such audit discloses a deficiency in the payment of Additional Rent of more than five percent (5%), Tenant shall forthwith pay to Landlord an amount equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of any third party costs incurred by Landlord in connection with such audit. If any such audit discloses that Tenant paid more Additional Rent for any Lease Year than was due hereunder, and Landlord agrees with the result of such audit or such overpayment shall have been determined by arbitration if Landlord does not agree with such audit, Landlord shall, at Landlord's option, either grant Tenant a credit or pay to Tenant an amount equal to the amount of such overpayment against Additional Rent next coming due in the amount of such difference, as finally agreed or determined, together with interest at the Interest Rate, which interest shall accrue from the time of payment by Tenant until the date such credit is applied or paid, as the case may be; provided, however, that, upon the expiration or sooner termination of the Term, Landlord shall pay the unapplied balance of such credit

- 16 -

to Tenant, together with interest at the Interest Rate, which interest shall accrue from the date of payment by Tenant until the date of payment from Landlord. Any dispute concerning the correctness of an audit or a Landlord review shall be settled by arbitration pursuant to the provisions of Article 22.

Any proprietary information obtained by Landlord with respect to Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall be treated as confidential, except that such information may be disclosed or used, subject to appropriate confidentiality safeguards, pursuant to court order or in any litigation between the parties and except further that Landlord may disclose such information to its prospective lenders, provided that Landlord shall direct such lenders to maintain such information as confidential. The obligations of Tenant and Landlord contained in this Section 3.1.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

3.1.3 Additional Charges. In addition to the Minimum Rent and Additional Rent payable hereunder, Tenant shall pay (or cause to be paid) to the appropriate parties and discharge (or cause to be discharged) as and when due and payable the following (collectively, "Additional Charges"):

(a) Impositions. Subject to Article 8 relating to permitted contests, Tenant shall pay, or cause to be paid, all Impositions before any fine, penalty, interest or cost (other than any opportunity cost as a result of a failure to take advantage of any discount for early payment) may be added for non-payment, such payments to be made directly to the taxing authorities where feasible, and shall promptly, upon request, furnish to Landlord copies of official receipts or other reasonably satisfactory proof evidencing such payments. If any such Imposition may, at the option of the taxpayer, lawfully be paid in installments (whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of such Imposition), Tenant may exercise the option to pay the same (and any accrued interest on the unpaid balance of such Imposition) in installments and, in such event, shall pay, or cause to pay, such installments during the Term as the same become due and before any fine, penalty, premium, further interest or cost may be added thereto. Landlord, at its expense, shall, to the extent required or permitted by Applicable Law, prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all tax returns and pay all taxes due in respect of Landlord's net income, gross receipts, sales and use, single business, transaction privilege, rent, ad valorem, franchise taxes and taxes on its capital stock or other equity interests, and Tenant, at its expense, shall, to the extent required or permitted by Applicable Laws and regulations, prepare and file all other tax returns and reports in respect of any Imposition as may be required by Government Agencies. If any refund shall be due from any taxing authority in respect of any Imposition paid by or on behalf of Tenant, the same shall be paid over to or retained by Tenant. Landlord and Tenant shall, upon request of the other, provide such data as is maintained by the party to whom the request is made with respect to the Leased Property as may be necessary to prepare any required returns and reports. In the event Government Agencies classify any property covered by this Agreement as personal property, Tenant shall file, or cause to be filed, all personal property tax returns in such

- 17 -

jurisdictions where it may legally so file. Each party shall, to the extent it possesses the same, provide the other, upon request, with cost and depreciation records necessary for filing returns for any property so classified as personal property. Where Landlord is legally required to file personal property tax returns for property covered by this Agreement, Landlord shall provide Tenant with copies of assessment notices in sufficient time for Tenant to file a protest. All Impositions assessed against such personal property shall be (irrespective of whether Landlord or Tenant shall file the relevant return) paid by Tenant not later than the last date on which the same may be made without interest or penalty, subject to the provisions of Article 8.

Landlord shall give prompt Notice to Tenant of all Impositions payable by Tenant hereunder of which Landlord at any time has knowledge; provided, however, that Landlord's failure to give any such notice shall in no way diminish Tenant's obligation hereunder to pay such Impositions.

(b) Utility Charges. Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all charges for electricity, power, gas, oil, water and other utilities used in connection with the Leased Property.

(c) Insurance Premiums. Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all premiums for the insurance coverage required to be maintained pursuant to Article 9.

(d) Other Charges. Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all other amounts, liabilities and obligations, including, without limitation, all amounts payable under any equipment leases and all agreements to indemnify Landlord under Section 9.5.

(e) Reimbursement for Additional Charges. If Tenant pays or causes to be paid property taxes or similar or other Additional Charges attributable to periods after the end of the Term, whether upon expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement, Tenant may, within a reasonable time after the end of the Term, provide Notice to Landlord of its estimate of such amounts. Landlord shall promptly reimburse Tenant for all payments of such taxes and other similar Additional Charges that are attributable to any period after the Term of this Agreement.

3.2 Late Payment of Rent, Etc. If any installment of Minimum Rent, Additional Rent or Additional Charges (but only as to those Additional Charges which are payable directly to Landlord) shall not be paid by the due date, Tenant shall pay Landlord, on demand, as Additional Charges, a late charge (to the extent permitted by law) computed at the Overdue Rate on the amount of such installment, from the due date of such installment to the date of payment thereof. To the extent that Tenant pays any Additional Charges directly to Landlord or any Property Mortgagee pursuant to any requirement of this Agreement, Tenant shall be relieved of its obligation to pay such Additional Charges to the Entity to which they would otherwise be due. If any payments due from Landlord to Tenant shall not be paid within ten (10) days after its due date, Landlord shall pay to Tenant, on demand, a late charge (to the extent permitted by law)

- 18 -

computed at the Overdue Rate on the amount of such installment from the due date of such installment to the date of payment thereof.

In the event of any failure by Tenant to pay any Additional Charges when due, Tenant shall promptly pay and discharge, as Additional Charges, every fine, penalty, interest and cost which is added for non-payment or late payment of such items. Landlord shall have all legal, equitable and contractual rights, powers and remedies provided either in this Agreement or by statute or otherwise in the case of non-payment of the Additional Charges as in the case of non-payment of the Minimum Rent and Additional Rent.

3.3 Net Lease, Etc. The Rent shall be absolutely net to Landlord so that this Agreement shall yield to Landlord the full amount of the installments or amounts of the Rent throughout the Term, subject to any other provisions of this Agreement which expressly provide otherwise, including those provisions for adjustment or abatement of such Rent. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that none of the Rent provided for under this Agreement is allocable to any personal property included in the Leased Property.

3.4 No Termination, Abatement, Etc. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, each of Landlord and Tenant, to the maximum extent permitted by law, shall remain bound by this Agreement in accordance with its terms and shall not take any action without the consent of the other to modify, surrender or terminate this Agreement. In addition, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Tenant shall not seek, or be entitled to, any abatement, deduction, deferment or reduction of the Rent, or set-off against the Rent, nor shall the respective obligations of Landlord and Tenant be otherwise affected by reason of (a) any damage to or destruction of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, from whatever cause or any Condemnation; (b) the lawful or unlawful prohibition of, or restriction upon, Tenant's use of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, or the interference with such use by any Person or by reason of eviction by paramount title; (c) any claim which Tenant may have against Landlord by reason of any default (other than a monetary default) or breach of any warranty by Landlord under this Agreement or any other agreement between Landlord and Tenant, or to which Landlord and Tenant are parties; (d) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or other proceedings affecting Landlord or any assignee or transferee of Landlord; or (e) for any other cause whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing (other than a monetary default by Landlord). Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, Tenant hereby waives all rights arising from any occurrence whatsoever, which may now or hereafter be conferred upon it by law (a) to modify, surrender or terminate this Agreement or quit or surrender the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, or (b) which would entitle Tenant to any abatement, reduction, suspension or deferment of the Rent or other sums payable or other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The obligations of Tenant hereunder shall be separate and independent covenants and agreements, and the Rent and all other sums payable by Tenant hereunder shall continue to be payable in all events unless the obligations to pay the same shall be terminated pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement.

No use shall be made or permitted to be made of any Property and no acts shall be done thereon which will cause the cancellation of any insurance policy covering such Property or any part thereof (unless another adequate policy is available) or which would constitute a default under any ground lease affecting such Property, nor shall Tenant sell or otherwise provide, or permit to be kept, used or sold in or about any Property any article which may be prohibited by law or by the standard form of fire insurance policies, or any other insurance policies required to be carried hereunder, or fire underwriter's regulations. Tenant shall, at its sole cost (except as expressly provided in Section 5.1.2(b)), comply or cause to be complied with all Insurance Requirements. Tenant shall not take or omit to take, or permit to be taken or omitted to be taken, any action, the taking or omission of which materially impairs the value or the usefulness of any Property or any part thereof for its Permitted Use.

(b) In the event that, in the reasonable determination of Tenant, it shall no longer be economically practical to operate any Property as currently operated, Tenant shall give Landlord Notice thereof, which Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the reasons therefor. Thereafter, Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith to agree on an alternative use for such Property, appropriate adjustments to the Additional Rent and other related matters; provided, however, in no event shall the Minimum Rent be reduced or abated as a result thereof.

During the Term and any other time that Tenant shall be in possession of any Property, Tenant shall not, and shall not permit any Person to, store on, release or spill upon, dispose of or transfer to or from such Property any Hazardous Substance, except in compliance with all Applicable Laws. During the Term and any other time that Tenant shall be in possession of any Property, Tenant shall maintain (or shall cause to be maintained) such Property at all times free of any Hazardous Substance (except in compliance with all Applicable Laws). Tenant shall promptly: (a) upon receipt of notice or knowledge, notify Landlord in writing of any material change in the nature or extent of Hazardous Substances at any Property, (b) transmit to Landlord a copy of any report which is required to be filed by Tenant with respect to any Property pursuant to XXXX Title III or any other Applicable Law, (c) transmit to Landlord copies of any citations, orders, notices or other governmental communications received by Tenant or its agents or representatives with respect to Hazardous Substances or violations or alleged violations of Applicable Law (each an "Environmental Notice"), which Environmental Notice requires a written response or any action to be taken and/or if such Environmental Notice gives notice of and/or presents a material risk of any material violation of any Applicable Law and/or presents a material risk of any material cost, expense, loss or damage (an "Environmental Obligation"), (d) observe and comply with (or cause to be observed and complied with) all Applicable Laws relating to the use, storage, maintenance and disposal of Hazardous Substances and all orders or directives from any official, court or agency of competent jurisdiction relating to the use, storage or maintenance, or requiring the removal, treatment, containment or other disposition of Hazardous Substances, and (e) pay or otherwise dispose (or cause to be paid or otherwise disposed) of any fine, charge or Imposition related to Hazardous Substances or violations of Applicable Law for which Tenant or any Person claiming by, through or under Tenant and/or Landlord are legally liable, unless Tenant shall contest the same in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and the right to use and the value of any of the Leased Property is not materially and adversely affected thereby.

An "Environmental Report" shall be a so-called "Phase I" report or such other level of investigation which shall be the standard of diligence in the purchase or lease of similar property at the time, together with any additional investigation and report which would be needed to make the conclusions required above or which would customarily follow any discovery contained in any initial report(s), and for which the investigation and testing on which the conclusions shall have been based shall have been performed not earlier than thirty (30) days prior to the date of such report.

5.1 Maintenance and Repair.

5.1.1 Tenant's General Obligations.

(a) Tenant shall keep (or cause to be kept), at Tenant's sole cost and expense, the Leased Property and all private roadways, sidewalks and curbs appurtenant thereto (and Tenant's Personal Property) in good order and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted (whether or not the need for such repairs occurs as a result of Tenant's use, any prior use, the elements or the age of the Leased Property or Tenant's Personal Property or any portion thereof), and shall promptly make or cause to be made all necessary and appropriate repairs and replacements thereto of every kind and nature, whether interior or exterior, structural or nonstructural, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen or arising by reason of a condition existing prior to the commencement of the Term (concealed or otherwise). All repairs shall be made in a good, workmanlike manner, consistent with industry standards for comparable Travel Centers in like locales, in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local statutes, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations relating to any such work. Tenant shall not take or omit to take (or permit any Person to take or omit to take) any action, the taking or omission of which would materially and adversely impair the value or the usefulness of the Leased Property or any material part thereof for its Permitted Use. Tenant's use, occupancy and maintenance of the Leased Property shall comply with all published requirements imposed from time to time on a system-wide basis for TA Travel Centers. Tenant's obligations under this Section 5.1.1 shall be limited in the event of any casualty or Condemnation as set forth in Article 10 and Article 11 and Tenant's obligations with respect to Hazardous Substances are as set forth in Section 4.3.

(b) Tenant shall prepare and submit to Landlord, on or before December 15 of each Lease Year during the Term hereof and for the next following Lease Year, a reasonably detailed budget (the "Capital Replacements Budget") for the Leased Property, projecting all costs, expenses and expenditures expected to be incurred at the Leased Property during the following Lease Year for Capital Additions. The Capital Replacements Budget shall be supplemented by such information as Landlord shall reasonably request from time to time.

5.1.2 Landlord's Obligations.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Landlord shall not, under any circumstances, be required to build or rebuild any improvement on the Leased Property, or to make any repairs, replacements, alterations, restorations or renewals of any nature or description to the Leased Property, whether ordinary or extraordinary, structural or nonstructural, foreseen or unforeseen, or to make any expenditure whatsoever with respect thereto, or to maintain the Leased Property in any way. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Tenant hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the right to make repairs at the expense

- 23 -

of Landlord pursuant to any law in effect on the Commencement Date or thereafter. Landlord shall have the right to give, record and post, as appropriate, notices of nonresponsibility under any mechanic's lien laws now or hereafter existing.

(b) If, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Tenant is required to make any Capital Expenditures, including, without limitation, the Capital Expenditures identified in any Capital Replacements Budget, Tenant may, at its election, advance such funds or give Landlord Notice thereof, which Notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the nature of the required Capital Expenditure, the estimated cost thereof and such other information with respect thereto as Landlord may reasonably require. Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and Tenant shall otherwise comply with the applicable provisions of Article 6, Landlord shall, within ten (10) Business Days after such Notice, subject to and in accordance with the applicable provisions of Article 6, disburse such required funds to Tenant (or, if Tenant shall so elect, directly to any other Person performing the required work) and, upon such disbursement, the Minimum Rent shall be adjusted as provided in Section 3.1.1(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may elect not to disburse such required funds to Tenant; provided, however, that if Landlord shall elect not to disburse such required funds as aforesaid, Tenant's obligation to make such required Capital Expenditure shall be deemed waived by Landlord, and, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Tenant shall have no obligation to make such Capital Expenditure.

5.1.3 Nonresponsibility of Landlord, Etc. All materialmen, contractors, artisans, mechanics and laborers and other persons contracting with Tenant with respect to the Leased Property, or any part thereof, are hereby charged with notice that liens on the Leased Property or on Landlord's interest therein are expressly prohibited and that they must look solely to Tenant to secure payment for any work done or material furnished to Tenant or for any other purpose during the term of this Agreement.

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed in any way as constituting the consent or request of Landlord, express or implied, by inference or otherwise, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer or materialmen for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any materials for any alteration, addition, improvement or repair to the Leased Property or any part thereof or as giving Tenant any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the rendering of any services or the furnishing of any materials that would give rise to the filing of any lien against the Leased Property or any part thereof nor to subject Landlord's estate in the Leased Property or any part thereof to liability under any mechanic's lien law of any State in any way, it being expressly understood Landlord's estate shall not be subject to any such liability.

5.2 Tenant's Personal Property. Tenant shall provide and maintain (or cause to be provided and maintained) throughout the Term all such Tenant's Personal Property as shall be necessary in order to operate in compliance with applicable material Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements and otherwise in accordance with customary practice in the industry for the Permitted Use.

Upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement, Tenant shall remove all of Tenant’s Personal Property (other than that purchased by Landlord pursuant to Article 15) and vacate and surrender the Leased Property to Landlord in substantially the same condition in which the Leased Property was in on the Commencement Date, except as repaired, rebuilt, restored, altered or added to as permitted or required by the provisions of this Agreement, reasonable wear and tear excepted (and casualty damage and Condemnation, in the event that this Agreement is terminated following a casualty or Condemnation in accordance with Article 10 or Article 11, excepted).

In addition, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, Tenant shall, at Landlord's sole cost and expense, use its good faith efforts to transfer and/or assign (or cause to be transferred or assigned) to Landlord or Landlord’s nominee, and to cooperate with Landlord or Landlord's nominee in connection with, the processing of all applications for licenses, operating permits and other governmental authorizations and all contracts, including contracts with governmental or quasi-governmental entities, which may be necessary for the use and operation of the Travel Centers as then operated. If requested by Landlord, Tenant shall continue to manage one or more of the Travel Centers after the expiration of the Term for up to one hundred eighty (180) days, on such reasonable terms (including receipt by Tenant of a market management fee), as Landlord shall reasonably request.

Article 6

IMPROVEMENTS, ETC.

6.1 Improvements to the Leased Property. Tenant may make, construct or install (or permit to be made, constructed or installed) any Capital Additions provided that construction or installation of the same will not adversely affect or violate any material Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement applicable to any Property. No Capital Addition shall be made which would tie in or connect any Leased Improvements with any other improvements on property adjacent to any Property (and not part of the Land) including, without limitation, tie-ins of buildings or other structures or utilities. Except as permitted herein, Tenant shall not finance the cost of any construction of such improvement by the granting of a lien on or security interest in the Leased Property or such improvement, or Tenant's interest therein, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld by Landlord in Landlord's sole discretion. Any such improvements shall, upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement, remain or pass to and become the property of Landlord, free and clear of all encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances.

6.2 Salvage. All materials which are scrapped or removed in connection with the making of either Capital Additions or non-Capital Additions or repairs required by Article 5 shall be or become the property of the party that paid for such work.

Article 7

LIENS

Subject to Article 8, Tenant shall use its best efforts not, directly or indirectly, to create or allow to remain and shall promptly discharge (or cause to be discharged), at its expense, any lien, encumbrance, attachment, title retention agreement or claim upon the Leased Property, or any

- 25 -

portion thereof, or Tenant's leasehold interest therein or any attachment, levy, claim or encumbrance in respect of the Rent, other than (a) Permitted Encumbrances, (b) restrictions, liens and other encumbrances which are consented to in writing by Landlord, (c) liens for those taxes of Landlord which Tenant is not required to pay hereunder, (d) subleases permitted by Article 16, (e) liens for Impositions or for sums resulting from noncompliance with Legal Requirements so long as (i) the same are not yet due and payable, or (ii) are being contested in accordance with Article 8, (f) liens of mechanics, laborers, materialmen, suppliers or vendors incurred in the ordinary course of business that are not yet due and payable or are for sums that are being contested in accordance with Article 8, (g) any Property Mortgages or other liens which are the responsibility of Landlord pursuant to the provisions of Article 20 and (h) Landlord Liens and any other voluntary liens created by Landlord.

Article 8

PERMITTED CONTESTS

Tenant shall have the right to contest the amount or validity of any Imposition, Legal Requirement, Insurance Requirement, Environmental Obligation, lien, attachment, levy, encumbrance, charge or claim (collectively, "Claims") as to the Leased Property, by appropriate legal proceedings, conducted in good faith and with due diligence, provided that (a) the foregoing shall in no way be construed as relieving, modifying or extending Tenant's obligation to pay (or cause to be paid) any Claims as finally determined, (b) such contest shall not cause Landlord or Tenant to be in default under any ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Leased Property, or any portion thereof (Landlord agreeing that any such ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust shall permit Tenant to exercise the rights granted pursuant to this Article 8) or any interest therein or result in or reasonably be expected to result in a lien attaching to the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, (c) no part of the Leased Property nor any Rent therefrom shall be in any immediate danger of sale, forfeiture, attachment or loss, and (d) Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against any cost, claim, damage, penalty or reasonable expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Landlord in connection therewith or as a result thereof. Landlord agrees to join in any such proceedings if required legally to prosecute such contest, provided that Landlord shall not thereby be subjected to any liability therefor (including, without limitation, for the payment of any costs or expenses in connection therewith) unless Tenant agrees by agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, to assume and indemnify Landlord with respect to the same. Tenant shall be entitled to any refund of any Claims and such charges and penalties or interest thereon which have been paid by Tenant or paid by Landlord to the extent that Landlord has been fully reimbursed by Tenant. If Tenant shall fail (x) to pay or cause to be paid any Claims when finally determined, (y) to provide reasonable security therefor or (z) to prosecute or cause to be prosecuted any such contest diligently and in good faith, Landlord may, upon reasonable notice to Tenant (which notice shall not be required if Landlord shall reasonably determine that the same is not practicable), pay such charges, together with interest and penalties due with respect thereto, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord therefor, upon demand, as Additional Charges.

Article 9

INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION

- 26 -

9.1 General Insurance Requirements. Tenant shall, at all times during the Term and at any other time Tenant shall be in possession of any Property, or any portion thereof, keep (or cause to be kept) such Property and all property located therein or thereon, insured against the risks and in such amounts as shall be commercially reasonable. Tenant shall prepare a proposal setting forth the insurance Tenant proposes to be maintained with respect to each Property during the ensuing Lease Year, and shall submit such proposal to Landlord on or before December 1^st of the preceding Lease Year, for Landlord's review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. In the event that Landlord shall fail to respond within thirty (30) days after receipt of such proposal, such proposal shall be deemed approved.

9.2 Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant agree that (insofar as and to the extent that such agreement may be effective without invalidating or making it impossible to secure insurance coverage from responsible insurance companies doing business in any State) with respect to any property loss which is covered by insurance then being carried by Landlord or Tenant, the party carrying such insurance and suffering said loss releases the others of and from any and all claims with respect to such loss; and they further agree that their respective insurance companies (and, if Landlord or Tenant shall self insure in accordance with the terms hereof, Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be) shall have no right of subrogation against the other on account thereof, even though extra premium may result therefrom. In the event that any extra premium is payable by Tenant as a result of this provision, Landlord shall not be liable for reimbursement to Tenant for such extra premium.

9.3 Form Satisfactory, Etc. All insurance policies and endorsements required pursuant to this Article 9 shall be fully paid for, nonassessable, and issued by reputable insurance companies authorized to do business in the State and having a general policy holder's rating of no less than A in Best's latest rating guide. All property, business interruption, liability and flood insurance policies with respect to each Property shall include no deductible in excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000). At all times, all property, business interruption, liability and flood insurance policies, with the exception of worker's compensation insurance coverage, shall name Landlord and any Property Mortgagee as additional insureds, as their interests may appear. All loss adjustments shall be payable as provided in Article 10, except that losses under liability and worker's compensation insurance policies shall be payable directly to the party entitled thereto. Tenant shall cause all insurance premiums to be paid and shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) policies or certificates thereof to Landlord prior to their effective date (and, with respect to any renewal policy, prior to the expiration of the existing policy). All such policies shall provide Landlord (and any Property Mortgagee if required by the same) thirty (30) days prior written notice of any material change or cancellation of such policy. In the event Tenant shall fail to effect (or cause to be effected) such insurance as herein required, to pay (or cause to be paid) the premiums therefor or to deliver (or cause to be delivered) such policies or certificates to Landlord or any Property Mortgagee at the times required, Landlord shall have the right, upon Notice to Tenant, but not the obligation, to acquire such insurance and pay the premiums therefor, which amounts shall be payable to Landlord, upon demand, as Additional Charges, together with interest accrued thereon at the Overdue Rate from the date such payment is made until (but excluding) the date repaid.

- 27 -

9.4 No Separate Insurance; Self-Insurance. Tenant shall not take (or permit any Person to take) out separate insurance, concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required by this Article 9, or increase the amount of any existing insurance by securing an additional policy or additional policies, unless all parties having an insurable interest in the subject matter of such insurance, including Landlord and all Property Mortgagees, are included therein as additional insureds and the loss is payable under such insurance in the same manner as losses are payable under this Agreement. In the event Tenant shall take out any such separate insurance or increase any of the amounts of the then existing insurance, Tenant shall give Landlord prompt Notice thereof. Tenant shall not self-insure (or permit any Person to self-insure).

9.5 Indemnification of Landlord. Notwithstanding the existence of any insurance provided for herein and without regard to the policy limits of any such insurance, Tenant shall protect, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord for, from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees), to the maximum extent permitted by law, imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against Landlord by reason of the following, except to the extent caused by Landlord's gross negligence or willful misconduct: (a) any accident or injury to, or death of, persons or loss of or damage to property occurring on or about any Property or portion thereof or adjoining sidewalks or rights of way during the Term, (b) any past, present or future condition or use, misuse, non-use, management, maintenance or repair by Tenant or anyone claiming under any of them, of any Property or Tenant's Personal Property, or any litigation, proceeding or claim by governmental entities (other than Condemnation proceedings) or other third parties to which Landlord is made a party or participant relating to any Property or portion thereof or Tenant's Personal Property or such use, misuse, non-use, condition, management, maintenance, or repair thereof, including failure to perform obligations under this Agreement, to which Landlord is made a party during the Term, (c) any Impositions that are the obligations of Tenant to pay pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Agreement, and (d) any failure on the part of Tenant or anyone claiming under Tenant to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Agreement. Tenant, at its expense, shall contest, resist and defend any such claim, action or proceeding asserted or instituted against Landlord (and shall not be responsible for any duplicative attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord) or may compromise or otherwise dispose of the same, with Landlord's prior written consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). The obligations of Tenant under this Section 9.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Article 10

CASUALTY

10.1 Insurance Proceeds. Except as provided in the last clause of this sentence, all proceeds payable by reason of any loss or damage to any Property, or any portion thereof, and insured under any policy of insurance required by Article 9 (other than the proceeds of any business interruption insurance or insurance proceeds for Tenant’s Personal Property) shall be paid directly to Landlord (subject to the provisions of Section 10.2) and all loss adjustments with respect to losses payable to Landlord shall require the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided, however, that, so

- 28 -

long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all such proceeds less than or equal to Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) shall be paid directly to Tenant and such losses may be adjusted without Landlord's consent. If Tenant is required to reconstruct or repair any Property as provided herein, such proceeds shall be paid out by Landlord from time to time for the reasonable costs of reconstruction or repair of such Property necessitated by such damage or destruction, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2.4. Any excess proceeds of insurance remaining after the completion of the restoration shall be paid to Tenant. In the event that the provisions of Section 10.2.1 are applicable, the insurance proceeds shall be retained by the party entitled thereto pursuant to Section 10.2.1.

10.2 Damage or Destruction.

10.2.1 Damage or Destruction of Leased Property. If, during the Term, any Property shall be totally or partially destroyed and the Travel Center located thereon is thereby rendered Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use, either Landlord or Tenant may, by the giving of Notice thereof to the other, terminate this Agreement with respect to such affected Property, whereupon, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such affected Property, Landlord shall be entitled to retain the insurance proceeds payable on account of such damage, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of any deductible under the insurance policies covering such Travel Center, the amount of any uninsured loss and any difference between the replacement cost of the affected Property and the casualty insurance proceeds therefor, and the Minimum Rent shall be reduced by the sum of the applicable Percentage Reduction of the total amount received by Landlord plus the Fair Market Value of the Land, such Fair Market Value to be determined by agreement of the parties or, absent agreement, an appraiser designated by Landlord.

10.2.2 Partial Damage or Destruction. If, during the Term, any Property shall be totally or partially destroyed but the Travel Center located thereon is not rendered Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use, Tenant shall, subject to Section 10.2.3, promptly restore such Travel Center as provided in Section 10.2.4.

10.2.3 Insufficient Insurance Proceeds. If the cost of the repair or restoration of the applicable Travel Center exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord and Tenant pursuant to Section 9.1, Tenant shall give Landlord Notice thereof which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the nature of such deficiency and whether Tenant shall pay and assume the amount of such deficiency (Tenant having no obligation to do so, except that, if Tenant shall elect to make such funds available, the same shall become an irrevocable obligation of Tenant pursuant to this Agreement). In the event Tenant shall elect not to pay and assume the amount of such deficiency, Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation), exercisable in Landlord's sole discretion by Notice to Tenant, given within sixty (60) days after Tenant's notice of the deficiency, to elect to make available for application to the cost of repair or restoration the amount of such deficiency; provided, however, in such event, upon any disbursement by Landlord thereof, the Minimum Rent shall be adjusted as provided in Section 3.1.1(b). In the event that neither Landlord nor Tenant shall elect to make such deficiency available for restoration, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Agreement with respect to the affected Property by Notice to the other, whereupon, this Agreement shall so terminate and insurance proceeds shall be distributed as provided in Section 10.2.1. It is expressly understood and agreed, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Tenant shall

- 29 -

be strictly liable and solely responsible for the amount of any deductible and shall, upon any insurable loss, pay over the amount of such deductible to Landlord at the time and in the manner herein provided for payment of the applicable proceeds to Landlord.

10.2.4 Disbursement of Proceeds. In the event Tenant is required to restore any Property pursuant to Section 10.2 and this Agreement is not terminated as to such Property pursuant to this Article 10, Tenant shall commence (or cause to be commenced) promptly and continue diligently to perform (or cause to be performed) the repair and restoration of such Property (hereinafter called the "Work"), so as to restore (or cause to be restored) the applicable Property in material compliance with all Legal Requirements and so that such Property shall be, to the extent practicable, substantially equivalent in value and general utility to its general utility and value immediately prior to such damage or destruction. Subject to the terms hereof, Landlord shall advance the insurance proceeds and any additional amounts payable by Landlord pursuant to Section 10.2.3 or otherwise deposited with Landlord to Tenant regularly during the repair and restoration period so as to permit payment for the cost of any such restoration and repair. Any such advances shall be made not more often than monthly within ten (10) Business Days after Tenant submits to Landlord a written requisition and substantiation therefor on AIA Forms G702 and G703 (or on such other form or forms as may be reasonably acceptable to Landlord). Landlord may, at its option, condition advancement of such insurance proceeds and other amounts on (i) its approval of plans and specifications of an architect satisfactory to Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), (ii) general contractors' estimates, (iii) architect's certificates, (iv) conditional lien waivers of general contractors, if available, (v) evidence of approval by all governmental authorities and other regulatory bodies whose approval is required, (vi) if Tenant has elected to advance deficiency funds pursuant to Section 10.2.3, Tenant depositing the amount thereof with Landlord and (vii) such other certificates as Landlord may, from time to time, reasonably require.

Landlord's obligation to disburse insurance proceeds under this Article 10 shall be subject to the release of such proceeds by any Property Mortgagee to Landlord.

Tenant's obligation to restore the applicable Property pursuant to this Article 10 shall be subject to the release of available insurance proceeds by the applicable Property Mortgagee to Landlord or directly to Tenant and, in the event such proceeds are insufficient, Landlord electing to make such deficiency available therefor (and disbursement of such deficiency).

10.3 Damage Near End of Term. Notwithstanding any provisions of Section 10.1 or 10.2 to the contrary, if damage to or destruction of any Property occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Term and if such damage or destruction cannot reasonably be expected to be fully repaired and restored prior to the date that is six (6) months prior to the end of the Term, the provisions of Section 10.2.1 shall apply as if such Property had been totally or partially destroyed and the Travel Center thereon rendered Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use.

10.4 Tenant's Personal Property. All insurance proceeds payable by reason of any loss of or damage to any of Tenant's Personal Property shall be paid to Tenant and, to the extent necessary to repair or replace Tenant's Personal Property in accordance with Section 10.5, Tenant shall hold such proceeds in trust to pay the cost of repairing or replacing damaged Tenant's Personal Property.

- 30 -

10.5 Restoration of Tenant's Personal Property. If Tenant is required to restore any Property as hereinabove provided, Tenant shall either (a) restore all alterations and improvements made by Tenant and Tenant's Personal Property, or (b) replace such alterations and improvements and Tenant's Personal Property with improvements or items of the same or better quality and utility in the operation of such Property.

10.6 No Abatement of Rent. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and Tenant's obligation to make all payments of Rent and to pay all other charges as and when required under this Agreement shall remain unabated during the Term notwithstanding any damage involving the Leased Property, or any portion thereof (provided that Landlord shall credit against such payments any amounts paid to Landlord as a consequence of such damage under any business interruption insurance obtained by Tenant hereunder). The provisions of this Article 10 shall be considered an express agreement governing any cause of damage or destruction to the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, no local or State statute, laws, rules, regulation or ordinance in effect during the Term which provide for such a contingency shall have any application in such case.

10.7 Waiver. Tenant hereby waives any statutory rights of termination which may arise by reason of any damage or destruction of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof.

Article 11

CONDEMNATION

11.1 Total Condemnation, Etc. If either (i) the whole of any Property shall be taken by Condemnation or (ii) a Condemnation of less than the whole of any Property renders any Property Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Property, and Tenant and Landlord shall seek the Award for their interests in the applicable Property as provided in Section 11.5. Upon payment to Landlord of any such Award, the Minimum Rent shall be reduced by eight and one-half percent (8.5%) of the amount of such Award received by Landlord.

11.2 Partial Condemnation. In the event of a Condemnation of less than the whole of any Property such that such Property is still suitable for its Permitted Use, Tenant shall, to the extent of the Award and any additional amounts disbursed by Landlord as hereinafter provided, commence (or cause to be commenced) promptly and continue diligently to restore (or cause to be restored) the untaken portion of the applicable Leased Improvements so that such Leased Improvements shall constitute a complete architectural unit of the same general character and condition (as nearly as may be possible under the circumstances) as such Leased Improvements existing immediately prior to such Condemnation, in material compliance with all Legal Requirements, subject to the provisions of this Section 11.2. If the cost of the repair or restoration of the affected Property exceeds the amount of the Award, Tenant shall give Landlord Notice thereof which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the nature of such deficiency and whether Tenant shall pay and assume the amount of such deficiency (Tenant having no obligation to do so, except that if Tenant shall elect to make such funds available, the same shall become an irrevocable obligation of Tenant pursuant to this Agreement). In the event Tenant shall elect not to pay and assume the amount of such deficiency, Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation), exercisable at Landlord's sole election by Notice to Tenant given within

- 31 -

sixty (60) days after Tenant's Notice of the deficiency, to elect to make available for application to the cost of repair or restoration the amount of such deficiency; provided, however, in such event, upon any disbursement by Landlord thereof, the Minimum Rent shall be adjusted as provided in Section 3.1.1(b). In the event that neither Landlord nor Tenant shall elect to make such deficiency available for restoration, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Agreement with respect to the affected Property and the entire Award shall be allocated as set forth in Section 11.5.

Subject to the terms hereof, Landlord shall contribute to the cost of restoration that part of the Award received by Landlord and necessary to complete such repair or restoration, together with severance and other damages awarded to Landlord for the taken Leased Improvements and any deficiency Landlord has agreed to disburse, to Tenant regularly during the restoration period so as to permit payment for the cost of such repair or restoration. Landlord may, at its option, condition advancement of such portion of the Award and other amounts on (a) its approval of plans and specifications of an architect satisfactory to Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), (b) general contractors' estimates, (c) architect's certificates, (d) conditional lien waivers of general contractors, if available, (e) evidence of approval by all governmental authorities and other regulatory bodies whose approval is required, (f) if Tenant has elected to advance deficiency funds pursuant to the preceding paragraph, Tenant depositing the amount thereof with Landlord and (g) such other certificates as Landlord may, from time to time, reasonably require. Landlord's obligation under this Section 11.2 to disburse the Award and such other amounts shall be subject to (x) the collection thereof by Landlord and (y) the satisfaction of any applicable requirements of any Property Mortgage, and the release of such Award by the applicable Property Mortgagee. Tenant's obligation to restore the Leased Property shall be subject to the release of any portion of the Award by the applicable Property Mortgagee to Landlord.

11.3 Abatement of Rent. Other than as specifically provided in this Agreement, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and Tenant's obligation to make all payments of Rent and to pay all other charges as and when required under this Agreement shall remain unabated during the Term notwithstanding any Condemnation involving the Leased Property, or any portion thereof. The provisions of this Article 11 shall be considered an express agreement governing any Condemnation involving the Leased Property and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, no local or State statute, law, rule, regulation or ordinance in effect during the Term which provides for such a contingency shall have any application in such case.

11.4 Temporary Condemnation. In the event of any temporary Condemnation of any Property or Tenant's interest therein, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and Tenant shall continue to pay (or cause to be paid), in the manner and on the terms herein specified, the full amount of the Rent. Tenant shall continue to perform and observe (or cause to be performed and observed) all of the other terms and conditions of this Agreement on the part of the Tenant to be performed and observed. The entire amount of any Award made for such temporary Condemnation allocable to the Term, whether paid by way of damages, rent or otherwise, shall be paid to Tenant. Tenant shall, promptly upon the termination of any such period of temporary Condemnation, at its sole cost and expense, restore the affected Property to the condition that existed immediately prior to such Condemnation, in material compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements, unless such period of temporary Condemnation shall extend

- 32 -

beyond the expiration of the Term, in which event Tenant shall not be required to make such restoration.

11.5 Allocation of Award. Except as provided in Section 11.4 and the second sentence of this Section 11.5, the total Award shall be solely the property of and payable to Landlord. Any portion of the Award made for the taking of Tenant's leasehold interest in the Leased Property, loss of business during the remainder of the Term, the taking of Tenant's Personal Property, the taking of Capital Additions paid for by Tenant and Tenant's removal and relocation expenses shall be the sole property of and payable to Tenant. In any Condemnation proceedings, Landlord and Tenant shall each seek its own Award in conformity herewith, at its own expense.

Article 12

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

12.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an "Event of Default" hereunder:

(a) should Tenant fail to make any payment of the Rent or any other sum payable hereunder when due which failure shall continue for a period of five (5) Business Days after Notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; or

(b) should Tenant default in the due observance or performance of any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained herein to be performed or observed by it (other than as specified in clause (a) above) and should such default continue for a period of thirty (30) days after Notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if such default is susceptible of cure but such cure cannot be accomplished with due diligence within such period of time and if, in addition, Tenant commences to cure or cause to be cured such default within thirty (30) days after Notice thereof from Landlord and thereafter prosecutes the curing of such default with all due diligence, such period of time shall be extended to such period of time (not to exceed an additional ninety (90) days in the aggregate) as may be necessary to cure such default with all due diligence; or

(c) should any obligation of Tenant or any Guarantor in respect of any Indebtedness of Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) or more for money borrowed or for any material property or services, or any guaranty relating thereto, be declared to be or become due and payable prior to the stated maturity thereof, or should there occur and be continuing with respect to any such Indebtedness any event of default under any instrument or agreement evidencing or securing the same, the effect of which is to permit the holder or holders of such instrument or agreement or a trustee, agent or other representative on behalf of such holder or holders, to cause any such obligations to become due prior to its stated maturity; or

(d) should an event of default occur and be continuing beyond the expiration of any applicable cure period under any Guaranty; or

(e) should Tenant or any Guarantor generally not be paying its debts as they become due or should Tenant or any Guarantor make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or

- 33 -

(f) should any petition be filed by or against Tenant or any Guarantor under the Federal bankruptcy laws, or should any other proceeding be instituted by or against Tenant or any Guarantor seeking to adjudicate Tenant or any Guarantor a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of Tenant's or any Guarantor’s debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for Tenant or any Guarantor or for any substantial part of the property of Tenant or any Guarantor and such proceeding is not dismissed within one hundred eighty (180) days after institution thereof; or

(g) should Tenant or any Guarantor cause or institute any proceeding for its dissolution or termination; or

(h) should the estate or interest of Tenant in the Leased Property or any part thereof be levied upon or attached in any proceeding and the same shall not be vacated or discharged within the later of (x) ninety (90) days after commencement thereof, unless the amount in dispute is less than $250,000, in which case Tenant shall give Notice to Landlord of the dispute but Tenant may defend in any suitable way, and (y) two hundred seventy (270) days after receipt by Tenant of Notice thereof from Landlord (unless Tenant shall be contesting such lien or attachment in good faith in accordance with Article 8); or

(i) should there occur any direct or indirect Change in Control of Tenant or any Guarantor, except as otherwise permitted by Article 16;

then, and in any such event, Landlord, in addition to all other remedies available to it, may terminate this Agreement with respect to any or all of the Leased Property by giving Notice thereof to Tenant and upon the expiration of the time, if any, fixed in such Notice, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to all or the designated portion of the Leased Property and all rights of Tenant under this Agreement with respect thereto shall cease. Landlord shall have and may exercise all rights and remedies available at law and in equity to Landlord as a result of Tenant's breach of this Agreement.

Upon the termination of this Agreement in connection with any Event of Default, Landlord may, in addition to any other remedies provided herein, enter upon the Leased Property, or any portion thereof and take possession of any and all of Tenant’s Personal Property, if any, without liability for trespass or conversion (Tenant hereby waiving any right to notice or hearing prior to such taking of possession by Landlord) and sell the same at public or private sale, after giving Tenant reasonable Notice of the time and place of any public or private sale, at which sale Landlord or its assigns may purchase all or any portion of Tenant’s Personal Property, if any, unless otherwise prohibited by law. Unless otherwise provided by law and without intending to exclude any other manner of giving Tenant reasonable notice, the

- 34 -

requirement of reasonable Notice shall be met if such Notice is given at least ten (10) days before the date of sale.

12.2 Remedies. None of (a) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1, (b) the repossession of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, (c) the failure of Landlord to relet the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, nor (d) the reletting of all or any of portion of the Leased Property, shall relieve Tenant of its liability and obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive any such termination, repossession or reletting. In the event of any such termination, Tenant shall forthwith pay to Landlord all Rent due and payable with respect to the Leased Property, or terminated portion thereof, through and including the date of such termination. Thereafter, Tenant, until the end of what would have been the Term of this Agreement in the absence of such termination, and whether or not the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, shall have been relet, shall be liable to Landlord for, and shall pay to Landlord, as current damages, the Rent (Additional Rent and Additional Charges to be reasonably calculated by Landlord) which would be payable hereunder for the remainder of the Term had such termination not occurred, less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, after deducting all reasonable expenses in connection with such reletting, including, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorneys' fees, advertising, expenses of employees, alteration costs and expenses of preparation for such reletting. Tenant shall pay such current damages to Landlord monthly on the days on which the Minimum Rent would have been payable hereunder if this Agreement had not been so terminated with respect to such of the Leased Property.

At any time after such termination, whether or not Landlord shall have collected any such current damages, as liquidated final damages beyond the date of such termination, at Landlord's election, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to the present value (as reasonably determined by Landlord using a discount rate equal to five percent (5%) per annum) of the excess, if any, of the Rent and other charges which would be payable hereunder from the date of such termination (assuming that, for the purposes of this paragraph, annual payments by Tenant on account of Additional Rent and Additional Charges would be the same as payments required for the immediately preceding twelve calendar months, or if less than twelve calendar months have expired since the Commencement Date, the payments required for such lesser period projected to an annual amount) for what would be the then unexpired term of this Agreement if the same remained in effect, over the fair market rental for the same period. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall, however, limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove and obtain in proceedings for bankruptcy or insolvency an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, the damages are to be proved, whether or not the amount be greater than, equal to, or less than the amount of the loss or damages referred to above.

In case of any Event of Default, re-entry, expiration and dispossession by summary proceedings or otherwise, Landlord may, (a) relet the Leased Property or any part or parts thereof, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, for a term or terms which may at Landlord's option, be equal to, less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term and may grant concessions or free rent to the extent that Landlord considers advisable and necessary to relet the same, and (b) may make such reasonable alterations, repairs

- 35 -

and decorations in the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, as Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, considers advisable and necessary for the purpose of reletting the Leased Property; and the making of such alterations, repairs and decorations shall not operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder as aforesaid. Landlord shall in no event be liable in any way whatsoever for any failure to relet all or any portion of the Leased Property, or, in the event that the Leased Property is relet, for failure to collect the rent under such reletting. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted under any present or future laws in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed, or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of the Leased Property, by reason of the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default hereunder.

12.3 Tenant's Waiver. IF THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12.1 OR 12.2, TENANT WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT OF SUMMARY PROCEEDINGS TO ENFORCE THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE 12, AND THE BENEFIT OF ANY LAWS NOW OR HEREAFTER IN FORCE EXEMPTING PROPERTY FROM LIABILITY FOR RENT OR FOR DEBT.

12.4 Application of Funds. Any payments received by Landlord under any of the provisions of this Agreement during the existence or continuance of any Event of Default (and any payment made to Landlord rather than Tenant due to the existence of any Event of Default) shall be applied to Tenant's current and past due obligations under this Agreement in such order as Landlord may determine or as may be prescribed by the laws of the State. Any balance shall be paid to Tenant.

12.5 Landlord's Right to Cure Tenant's Default. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Landlord, after Notice to Tenant (which Notice shall not be required if Landlord shall reasonably determine immediate action is necessary to protect person or property), without waiving or releasing any obligation of Tenant and without waiving or releasing any Event of Default, may (but shall not be obligated to), at any time thereafter, make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Tenant, and may, to the maximum extent permitted by law, enter upon the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, for such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion, may be necessary or appropriate therefor. No such entry shall be deemed an eviction of Tenant. All reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, together with interest thereon (to the extent permitted by law) at the Overdue Rate from the date such sums are paid by Landlord until repaid, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord, on demand.

Article 13

HOLDING OVER

Any holding over by Tenant after the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement shall be treated as a daily tenancy at sufferance at a rate equal to two (2) times the Minimum Rent and other charges herein provided (prorated on a daily basis). Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all damages (direct or indirect) sustained by reason of any such holding over. Otherwise, such holding over shall be on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to

- 36 -

the extent applicable. Nothing contained herein shall constitute the consent, express or implied, of Landlord to the holding over of Tenant after the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

Article 14

LANDLORD DEFAULT

If Landlord shall default in the performance or observance of any of its covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement or any obligation of Landlord, if any, under any agreement affecting the Leased Property, the performance of which is not Tenant's obligation pursuant to this Agreement, and any such default shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after Notice thereof from Tenant to Landlord and any applicable Property Mortgagee, or such additional period as may be reasonably required to correct the same, Tenant may declare the occurrence of a "Landlord Default" by a second Notice to Landlord and to such Property Mortgagee. Thereafter, Tenant may forthwith cure the same and, subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, invoice Landlord for costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) incurred by Tenant in curing the same, together with interest thereon (to the extent permitted by law) from the date Landlord receives Tenant's invoice until paid, at the Overdue Rate. Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Agreement for any default by Landlord hereunder and no right, for any such default, to offset or counterclaim against any Rent or other charges due hereunder.

If Landlord shall in good faith dispute the occurrence of any Landlord Default and Landlord, before the expiration of the applicable cure period, shall give Notice thereof to Tenant, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis therefor, no Landlord Default shall be deemed to have occurred and Landlord shall have no obligation with respect thereto until final adverse determination thereof. If Tenant and Landlord shall fail, in good faith, to resolve any such dispute within ten (10) days after Landlord's Notice of dispute, either may submit the matter for resolution in accordance with Article 22.

Article 15

PURCHASE OF TENANT'S PERSONAL PROPERTY

Landlord shall have the option to purchase Tenant's Personal Property, at the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement, for an amount equal to the then fair market value thereof (current replacement cost as determined by agreement of the parties or, in the absence of such agreement, appraisal), subject to, and with appropriate price adjustments for, all liabilities assumed such as equipment leases, conditional sale contracts and other encumbrances securing such liabilities to which such Personal Property is subject.

Article 16

SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT

16.1 Subletting and Assignment. Except as provided in Section 16.3, Tenant shall not, without Landlord's prior written consent (which consent may be given or withheld in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion), assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise transfer this Agreement or sublease or permit the sublease (which term shall be deemed to include the granting of concessions, licenses, and the like), of the Leased Property, or

- 37 -

any portion thereof, or suffer or permit this Agreement or the leasehold estate created hereby or any other rights arising under this Agreement to be assigned, transferred, mortgaged, pledged, hypothecated or encumbered, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law, or permit the use or operation of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, by anyone other than Tenant to be offered or advertised for assignment or subletting.

For purposes of this Section 16.1, an assignment of this Agreement shall be deemed to include, without limitation, any direct or indirect Change in Control of Tenant.

If this Agreement is assigned or if the Leased Property, or any portion thereof is sublet (or occupied by anybody other than Tenant and its employees), after termination of this Agreement, Landlord may collect the rents from such assignee, subtenant or occupant, as the case may be, but no such collection shall be deemed a waiver of the provisions set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 16.1, the acceptance by Landlord of such assignee, subtenant or occupant, as the case may be, as a tenant, or a release of Tenant from the future performance by Tenant of its covenants, agreements or obligations contained in this Agreement.

Any assignment or transfer of Tenant's interest under this Agreement shall be subject to such assignee's or transferee's delivery to Landlord of a Guaranty, which Guaranty shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord in its sole discretion and which Guaranty shall constitute a Guaranty hereunder.

No subletting or assignment shall in any way impair the continuing primary liability of Tenant hereunder (unless Landlord and Tenant expressly otherwise agree that Tenant shall be released from all obligations hereunder), and no consent to any subletting or assignment in a particular instance shall be deemed to be a waiver of the prohibition set forth in this Section 16.1. No assignment, subletting or occupancy shall affect any Permitted Use. Any subletting, assignment or other transfer of Tenant's interest under this Agreement in contravention of this Section 16.1 shall be voidable at Landlord's option.

16.2 Required Sublease Provisions. Except for subleases which are terminable at will by Tenant on not more than sixty (60) days’ prior notice, any sublease of all or any portion of the Leased Property entered into on or after the Commencement Date shall provide (a) that it is subject and subordinate to this Agreement and to the matters to which this Agreement is or shall be subject or subordinate; (b) that in the event of termination of this Agreement or reentry or dispossession of Tenant by Landlord under this Agreement, Landlord may, at its option, terminate such sublease or take over all of the right, title and interest of Tenant, as sublessor under such sublease, and such subtenant shall, at Landlord's option, attorn to Landlord pursuant to the then executory provisions of such sublease, except that neither Landlord nor any Property Mortgagee, as holder of a mortgage or as Landlord under this Agreement, if such mortgagee succeeds to that position, shall (i) be liable for any act or omission of Tenant under such sublease, (ii) be subject to any credit, counterclaim, offset or defense which theretofore accrued to such subtenant against Tenant, (iii) be bound by any previous modification of such sublease not consented to in writing by Landlord or by any previous prepayment of more than one (1) month's rent, (iv) be bound by any covenant of Tenant to undertake or complete any construction of the applicable Property, or any portion thereof, (v) be required to account for any security deposit of the subtenant other than any security deposit actually delivered to Landlord by Tenant,

- 38 -

(vi) be bound by any obligation to make any payment to such subtenant or grant any credits, except for services, repairs, maintenance and restoration provided for under the sublease that are performed after the date of such attornment, (vii) be responsible for any monies owing by Tenant to the credit of such subtenant unless actually delivered to Landlord by Tenant, or (viii) be required to remove any Person occupying any portion of the Leased Property; and (c) in the event that such subtenant receives a written Notice from Landlord or any Property Mortgagee stating that this Agreement has terminated, such subtenant shall thereafter be obligated to pay all rentals accruing under such sublease directly to the party giving such Notice or as such party may direct. Such sublease shall provide that the subtenant thereunder shall, at the request of Landlord, execute a suitable instrument in confirmation of such agreement to attorn. An original counterpart of each such sublease and assignment and assumption, duly executed by Tenant and such subtenant or assignee, as the case may be, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, shall be delivered promptly to Landlord and (a) in the case of an assignment, the assignee shall assume in writing and agree to keep and perform all of the terms of this Agreement on the part of Tenant to be kept and performed and shall be, and become, jointly and severally liable with Tenant for the performance thereof and (b) in case of either an assignment or subletting, Tenant shall remain primarily liable, as principal rather than as surety, for the prompt payment of the Rent and for the performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions to be performed by Tenant hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 16.2 shall not be deemed a waiver of the provisions set forth in the first paragraph of Section 16.1.

16.3 Permitted Sublease. Subject to the provisions of Section 16.2 and Section 16.4 and any other express conditions or limitations set forth herein, Tenant may, in each instance after Notice to Landlord and without consent, (a) enter into third party agreements or sublease space at any Property for fuel station, restaurant/food service or mechanical repair purposes or other concessions in furtherance of the Permitted Use, so long as such subleases will not violate or affect any Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement, and Tenant shall provide such additional insurance coverage applicable to the activities to be conducted in such subleased space as Landlord and any Property Mortgagee may reasonably require, and (b) enter into one or more subleases or licenses with Affiliated Persons of Tenant with respect to the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, provided Tenant gives Landlord Notice of the material terms and conditions thereof. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that if Tenant enters into one or more subleases or licenses with Affiliated Persons of Tenant with respect to any Property, or any portion thereof, in accordance with the preceding clause (b), Tenant may allocate the rent and other charges with respect to the affected Property in any reasonable manner; provided, however, that such allocation shall not affect Tenant's (nor any Guarantor's) liability for the Rent and other obligations of Tenant under this Agreement; and, provided, further, that Tenant shall give Landlord prompt written notice of any allocation or reallocation of the rent and other charges with respect to the affected Property and, in any event, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of the amount of such allocations at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date that Landlord or any beneficial owner of Landlord is required to file any tax returns in any State where such affected Leased Property is located.

16.4 Sublease Limitation. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall not sublet or license the Leased Property, or any portion thereof,

- 39 -

on any basis such that the rental to be paid by any sublessee or licensee thereunder would be based, in whole or in part, on the net income or profits derived by the business activities of such sublessee or licensee, any other formula such that any portion of such sublease rental or license would fail to qualify as "rents from real property" within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto or would otherwise disqualify Landlord or any Affiliated Person for treatment as a “real estate investment trust” under the Code.

Article 17

ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

At any time and from time to time, but not more than a reasonable number of times per year, upon not less than ten (10) Business Days prior Notice by either party, the party receiving such Notice shall furnish to the other an Officer's Certificate certifying that this Agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect (or that this Agreement is in full force and effect as modified and setting forth the modifications), the date to which the Rent has been paid, that no Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or, if a Default or an Event of Default shall exist, specifying in reasonable detail the nature thereof, and the steps being taken to remedy the same, and such additional information as the requesting party may reasonably request.

(e) promptly upon Notice from Landlord, such other information concerning the business, financial condition and affairs of Tenant, any Guarantor, and/or any Affiliated Person of Tenant as Landlord reasonably may request from time to time.

PROPERTY MORTGAGES

20.1 Landlord May Grant Liens. Without the consent of Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause to exist any lien, encumbrance or title retention agreement ("Encumbrance") upon the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, or interest therein, whether to secure any borrowing or other means of financing or refinancing.

20.2 Subordination of Lease. This Agreement and any and all rights of Tenant hereunder are and shall be subject and subordinate to any ground or master lease, and all renewals, extensions, modifications and replacements thereof, and to all mortgages and deeds of trust, which may now or hereafter affect the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, or any improvements thereon and/or any of such leases, whether or not such mortgages or deeds of trust shall also cover other lands and/or buildings and/or leases, to each and every advance made or hereafter to be made under such mortgages and deeds of trust, and to all renewals, modifications, replacements and extensions of such leases and such mortgages and deeds of trust and all consolidations of such mortgages and deeds of trust. This section shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required. In confirmation of such subordination, Tenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any instrument that Landlord, the lessor under any such lease or the holder of any such mortgage or the trustee or beneficiary of any deed of trust or any of their respective successors in interest may reasonably request to evidence such subordination. Any lease to which this Agreement is, at the time referred to, subject and subordinate is herein called "Superior Lease" and the lessor of a Superior Lease or its successor in interest at the time referred to is herein called "Superior Landlord" and any mortgage or deed of trust to which this Agreement is, at the time referred to, subject and subordinate is herein called "Superior Mortgage" and the holder, trustee or beneficiary of a Superior Mortgage is herein called "Superior Mortgagee". Tenant shall have no obligations under any Superior Lease or Superior Mortgage other than those expressly set forth in this Section 20.2.

If any Superior Landlord or Superior Mortgagee or the nominee or designee of any Superior Landlord or Superior Mortgagee shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under this Agreement (any such person, "Successor Landlord"), whether through possession or foreclosure action or delivery of a new lease or deed, or otherwise, at such Successor Landlord's request, Tenant shall attorn to and recognize the Successor Landlord as Tenant's landlord under this Agreement and Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that such Successor

- 42 -

Landlord may reasonably request to evidence such attornment (provided that such instrument does not alter the terms of this Agreement), whereupon, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between the Successor Landlord and Tenant upon all of the terms, conditions and covenants as are set forth in this Agreement, except that the Successor Landlord (unless formerly the landlord under this Agreement or its nominee or designee) shall not be (a) liable in any way to Tenant for any act or omission, neglect or default on the part of any prior Landlord under this Agreement, (b) responsible for any monies owing by or on deposit with any prior Landlord to the credit of Tenant (except to the extent actually paid or delivered to the Successor Landlord), (c) subject to any counterclaim or setoff which theretofore accrued to Tenant against any prior Landlord, (d) bound by any modification of this Agreement subsequent to such Superior Lease or Mortgage, or by any previous prepayment of Rent for more than one (1) month in advance of the date due hereunder, which was not approved in writing by the Superior Landlord or the Superior Mortgagee thereto, (e) liable to Tenant beyond the Successor Landlord's interest in the Leased Property and the rents, income, receipts, revenues, issues and profits issuing from the Leased Property, (f) responsible for the performance of any work to be done by the Landlord under this Agreement to render the Leased Property ready for occupancy by Tenant (subject to Landlord's obligations under Section 5.1.2(b) or with respect to any insurance or Condemnation proceeds), or (g) required to remove any Person occupying the Leased Property or any part thereof, except if such person claims by, through or under the Successor Landlord. Tenant agrees at any time and from time to time to execute a suitable instrument in confirmation of Tenant's agreement to attorn, as aforesaid, and Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with an instrument of nondisturbance and attornment from each such Superior Mortgagee and Superior Landlord (other than the lessors under any ground leases with respect to the Leased Property, or any portion thereof) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Successor Landlord shall be liable (a) to pay to Tenant any amounts owed under Section 5.1.2(b), and (b) to pay to Tenant any portions of insurance proceeds or Awards received by Landlord or the Successor Landlord required to be paid to Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and, as a condition to any mortgage, lien or lease in respect of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, and the subordination of this Agreement thereto, the mortgagee, lienholder or lessor, as applicable, shall expressly agree, for the benefit of Tenant, to make such payments, which agreement shall be embodied in an instrument in form reasonably satisfactory to Tenant.

20.3 Notice to Mortgagee and Superior Landlord. Subsequent to the receipt by Tenant of Notice from Landlord as to the identity of any Property Mortgagee or Superior Landlord under a lease with Landlord, as ground lessee, which includes the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, as part of the demised premises and which complies with Section 20.1 (which Notice shall be accompanied by a copy of the applicable mortgage or lease), no Notice from Tenant to Landlord as to a default by Landlord under this Agreement shall be effective with respect to a Property Mortgagee or Superior Landlord unless and until a copy of the same is given to such Property Mortgagee or Superior Landlord at the address set forth in the above described Notice, and the curing of any of Landlord's defaults within the applicable notice and cure periods set forth in Article 14 by such Property Mortgagee or Superior Landlord shall be treated as performance by Landlord.

Any disputes, claims or controversies between or among the parties (a) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or (b) brought by or on behalf of any shareholder of any party or a direct or indirect parent of a party (which, for purposes of this Article 22 shall mean any shareholder of record or any beneficial owner of shares of any party, or any former shareholder of record or beneficial owner of shares of any party), either on his, her or its own behalf, on behalf of any party or on behalf of any series or class of shares of any party or shareholders of any party against any party or any member, trustee, director, officer, manager (including The RMR Group LLC or its successor), agent or employee of any party, including disputes, claims or controversies relating to the meaning, interpretation, effect, validity, performance or enforcement of this Agreement, including this arbitration provision, or the declarations of trust, limited liability company agreements, charters, bylaws or other governing documents of any party hereto (all of which are referred to as “Disputes”), or relating in any way to such a Dispute or Disputes shall, on the demand of any party to such Dispute be resolved through binding and final arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect, except as those Rules may be modified in this Article 22. For the avoidance of doubt, and not as a limitation, Disputes are intended to include derivative actions against trustees, directors, officers or managers of any party and class actions by a shareholder against those individuals or entities and any party. For the avoidance of doubt, a Dispute shall include a Dispute made derivatively on behalf of one party against another party. For purposes of this Article 22, the term “party” shall include any direct or indirect parent of a party.

22.2 Selection of Arbitrators. There shall be three (3) arbitrators. If there are only two (2) parties to the Dispute, each party shall select one arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a demand for arbitration. Such arbitrators may be affiliated or interested persons of such parties. If there are more than two (2) parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand, shall each select, by the vote of a majority of the claimants or the respondents, as the case may be, one arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a demand for arbitration. Such arbitrators may be affiliated or interested persons of the claimants or the respondents, as the case may be. If either a claimant (or all claimants) or a respondent (or all respondents) fail to timely select an arbitrator then the party (or parties) who has selected an arbitrator may request the AAA to provide a list of three (3) proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules (each of whom shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) and the party (or parties) that failed to timely appoint an arbitrator shall have ten (10) days from the date the AAA provides such list to select one of the three (3) arbitrators proposed by AAA. If such party (or parties) fail to select such arbitrator by such time, the party (or parties) who have appointed the first arbitrator shall then have ten (10) days to select one of the three (3) arbitrators proposed by AAA to be the second arbitrator; and, if he/they should fail to select such arbitrator by such time, the AAA shall select, within fifteen (15) days thereafter, one of the three (3) arbitrators it had proposed as the second arbitrator. The two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall

- 47 -

jointly appoint the third and presiding arbitrator (who shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) within fifteen (15) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator. If the third arbitrator has not been appointed within the time limit specified herein, then the AAA shall provide a list of proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules, and the arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with a listing, striking and ranking procedure, with each party having a limited number of strikes, excluding strikes for cause.

22.3 Location of Arbitration. The place of arbitration shall be Boston, Massachusetts unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

22.4 Scope of Discovery. There shall be only limited documentary discovery of documents directly related to the issues in dispute, as may be ordered by the arbitrators. For the avoidance of doubt, it is intended that there shall be no depositions and no other discovery other than limited documentary discovery as described in the preceding sentence.

22.5 Arbitration Award. In rendering an award or decision (the “Arbitration Award”), the arbitrators shall be required to follow the laws of the State of Maryland. Any arbitration proceedings or Arbitration Award rendered hereunder and the validity, effect and interpretation of this arbitration provision shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1 et seq. The Arbitration Award shall be in writing and may, but shall not be required to, briefly state the findings of fact and conclusions of law on which it is based. Any monetary Arbitration Award shall be made and payable in U.S. dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset. Subject to Section 22.7, each party against which an Arbitration Award assesses a monetary obligation shall pay that obligation on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of such Arbitration Award or such other date as such Arbitration Award may provide.

22.6 Costs. Except to the extent expressly provided by this Agreement or as otherwise agreed by the parties, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, each party involved in a Dispute shall bear its own costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), and the arbitrators shall not render an Arbitration Award that would include shifting of any such costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or, in a derivative case or class action, award any portion of a party’s Arbitration Award to the claimant or the claimant’s attorneys. Each party (or, if there are more than two (2) parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand, respectively) shall bear the costs and expenses of its (or their) selected arbitrator and the parties (or, if there are more than two (2) parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand) shall equally bear the costs and expenses of the third (3^rd) appointed arbitrator.

22.7 Appeals. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary in this Agreement, any Arbitration Award, including but not limited to any interim Arbitration Award, may be appealed pursuant to the AAA’s Optional Appellate Arbitration Rules (“Appellate Rules”). An Arbitration Award shall not be considered final until after the time for filing the notice of appeal pursuant to the Appellate Rules has expired. Appeals must be initiated within thirty (30) days of receipt of an Arbitration Award by filing a notice of appeal with any AAA office. Following the appeal process, the decision rendered by the appeal tribunal may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, and despite any contrary provision of the Appellate Rules, the above paragraph relating to costs and expenses shall apply to any appeal

- 48 -

pursuant to this Article 22 and the appeal tribunal shall not render an Arbitration Award that would include shifting of any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of any party.

22.8 Final Judgment. Following the expiration of the time for filing the notice of appeal, or the conclusion of the appeal process set forth in Section 22.7, an Arbitration Award shall be final and binding upon the parties thereto and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between those parties relating to the Dispute, including any claims, counterclaims, issues or accounting presented to the arbitrators. Judgment upon an Arbitration Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no application or appeal to any court of competent jurisdiction may be made in connection with any question of law arising in the course of arbitration or with respect to any Arbitration Award made, except for actions relating to enforcement of this Article 22 or any arbitral award issued hereunder, and except for actions seeking interim or other provisional relief in aid of arbitration proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction.

22.9 Intended Beneficiaries. This Article 22 is intended to benefit and be enforceable by the parties and their respective shareholders, members, direct and indirect parents, trustees, directors, officers, managers (including The RMR Group Inc. and The RMR Group LLC), agents or employees of any party and their respective successors and assigns and shall be binding on the shareholders of any party and the parties, as applicable, and shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that such individuals or entities may have by contract or otherwise.

All agreements between Landlord and Tenant herein are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of Rent, or otherwise, shall the Rent or any other amounts payable to Landlord under this Agreement exceed the maximum permissible under applicable law, the benefit of which may be asserted by Tenant as a defense, and if, from any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Agreement, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, or if from any circumstances Landlord should ever receive as fulfillment of such provision such an excessive amount, then, ipso facto, the amount which would be excessive shall be applied to the reduction of the installment(s) of Minimum Rent next due and not to the payment of such excessive amount. This provision shall control every other provision of this Agreement and any other agreements between Landlord and Tenant.

23.2 No Waiver. No failure by Landlord or Tenant to insist upon the strict performance of any term hereof or to exercise any right, power or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance of full or partial payment of Rent during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of any such term.

- 49 -

23.3 Remedies Cumulative.

No surrender to Landlord of this Agreement or of the Leased Property or any part thereof, or of any interest therein, shall be valid or effective unless agreed to and accepted in writing by Landlord and no act by Landlord or any representative or agent of Landlord, other than such a written acceptance by Landlord, shall constitute an acceptance of any such surrender.
