of the two appraisals is the FMV Rent. The costs (other than Landlord’s counsel fees)
incurred in connection with such appraisal process shall be borne by
-25-
Tenant and shall be
included as part of the Additional Charges.
If FMV Rent shall not have been determined as of the commencement date of any Extended
Term, Tenant shall
thereafter, on an interim basis, pay Minimum Rent in an amount determined as though such
Extended Term were a continuation of the Fixed Term or Extended Term, as the case may be,
with the Minimum Rent to be increased for such Extended Term in accordance with Section
3.1.1(b). Upon the determination of the FMV Rent, (1) Minimum Rent shall be readjusted
in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1.1(b), (2) such readjustment shall
be retroactively applied to the commencement date of such Extended Term, and (3) Tenant
shall pay to Landlord, in addition to the Minimum Rent due on such date pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, any outstanding Minimum Rent due as a result of such readjustment.
(d) Adjustments of Minimum Rent Following Disbursements Under Sections 10.2.3 and
11.2. Effective on the date of each disbursement to pay for the cost of any repairs,
maintenance, renovations or replacements pursuant to Sections 10.2.3 and 11.2, the
annual Minimum Rent shall be increased by a per annum amount equal to the
Disbursement Rate times the amount so disbursed. If any such disbursement is made on a day
other the Payment Date for the succeeding quarter hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on
the Payment Date following such disbursement (in addition to the amount of Minimum Rent
payable with respect to such payment quarter, as adjusted pursuant to this paragraph (d))
the amount by which Minimum Rent for the preceding payment quarter, as adjusted for such
disbursement on a per diem basis, exceeded the amount of Minimum Rent paid by Tenant for
such preceding payment quarter.
(e) Adjustments of Minimum Rent Following Partial Lease Termination. If this
Agreement shall terminate with respect to any Property but less than all of the Leased
Property, subject to Section 2.5, Minimum Rent shall be reduced by the affected
Property’s allocable share of Minimum Rent as reasonably determined by Landlord and Tenant.
-26-
3.1.2 Additional Charges. In addition to the Minimum 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 which are due and payable 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, 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. Provided no Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, 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
-27-
personal property tax returns in such 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, and all amounts payable under any equipment leases and all
agreements to indemnify Landlord under Sections 4.3.2 and 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 (other than
termination by reason of an Event of Default), 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
-28-
attributable to any period after the Term of this Agreement.
3.2 Late Payment of Rent, Etc. If any installment of Minimum Rent or Additional
Charges (but only as to those Additional Charges which are payable directly to Landlord) shall not
be paid on its 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 Facility 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 on its due date, Landlord shall pay to Tenant, on demand, 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.
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.
3.3 Net Lease. 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.
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
-29-
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.

secure payment for any work done or material
furnished to Tenant or any Manager 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
-35-
lien law of any State
in any way, it being expressly understood Landlord’s estate shall not be subject to any such

agreements and arrangements provided, however, that Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, within ten
(10) days of invoice therefor, for any costs incurred by Landlord in connection with such consents

terminate any Management Agreement delegating operational authority for the day-to-day operation of
the Leased Property (or any portion thereof) to an Affiliated Person of Tenant or LTF, in any such
case without Landlord’s consent; provided that any such Management Agreement (i) shall comply with
the terms and conditions of this Section 5.4, and (ii) is not entered into in connection
with, or simultaneously with (whether through one or a series of transactions), a direct or
indirect Change in Control in violation of the restrictions contained in Section 16.1.
Except as permitted above, Tenant shall not otherwise enter into, amend or modify any
Management Agreement without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any Management Agreement entered into pursuant to
the provisions of this Section 5.4 shall be subordinate to this Agreement and shall
provide, inter alia, that all amounts due from Tenant to the Manager thereunder
shall be subordinate to all amounts due from Tenant to Landlord (provided that, as long as no Event

ARTICLE 6
IMPROVEMENTS, ETC.
6.1 Improvements to the Leased Property. Tenant shall not make, construct or install
(or permit to be made, constructed or installed) any Capital Additions without, in each instance,
obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
delayed or conditioned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right, upon notice to
Landlord thereof in the case of Capital Additions costing in excess of $100,000, without Landlord’s
consent, to make, construct or install (or permit to be made, constructed or installed, Capital
Additions that (i) require immediate action in order to prevent imminent harm to person or property

than renovations, repairs or improvements to the entrances to the Fitness Centers conforming with
entrances to other health, fitness and/or wellness centers owned or operated by Tenant), or reduce
the gross square footage of the Property. Prior to commencing construction of any Capital Addition
requiring Landlord’s consent hereunder, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, in writing, a proposal
setting forth, in reasonable detail, any such proposed improvement and shall provide to Landlord
such plans and specifications, and such permits, licenses, contracts and such other information
concerning the same as Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord shall have thirty (30) days to
review all materials submitted to Landlord
in connection with any such proposal. Failure of Landlord to respond to Tenant’s proposal
within thirty (30) days after receipt of all information and materials requested by Landlord in
connection with the proposed improvement shall be deemed to constitute approval of the same.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such proposal shall indicate the approximate
projected cost of constructing such proposed improvement and the use or uses to which it will be
put. No Capital Addition shall be made which would tie in or connect any Leased Improvements with
any other improvements on property adjacent to the Leased 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
-38-
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.

Person that shall be Tenant’s lessor or secured lender with respect to Tenant’s Personal Property,
Landlord shall negotiate in good faith for the purpose of executing and delivering a commercially
reasonable subordination of Landlord’s rights under Article 15 and
-39-
Landlord’s statutory
lien rights, if any, and a consent and agreement with respect to the respective rights of Landlord
and such Person regarding the interests, in, and the timing and removal of, any Tenant’s Personal
Property, inventory or equipment in which such Person has a security interest (the “Collateral”),
in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord and such Person, so long as such
subordination and agreement (i) provides for the indemnification of Landlord against any claims by
Tenant or any Person claiming through Tenant in connection with the removal of any of the
Collateral by such Person or the exercise of any rights with respect thereto by such Person and any
indemnity from all parties claiming an interest in the Collateral against any claims arising from

Person to any right, title or interest in or to any Fixtures, (iii) provides for a reasonable, but
in no event more than sixty (60) days after Notice from Landlord, time frame for the removal of
such Collateral by such Person after the expiration of which such Collateral shall be deemed
abandoned, and (iv) provides for, and shall condition such Person’s right to allow the Collateral
to remain at the Leased Property on, the per diem payment of Minimum Rent due hereunder by such
Person for each day following the date of the expiration or termination of this Agreement that
Landlord permits such Person’s Collateral to remain in the Leased Property. Tenant shall pay all
costs (including legal fees) incurred in connection with the
negotiation of such subordination agreement(s), within ten (10) days of invoice therefor.

Requirement, Insurance Requirement, Environmental Obligation, lien, attachment, levy, encumbrance,
charge or claim (collectively, “Claims”) as to the Leased Property, by appropriate legal

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 mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Leased Property or any portion
thereof (Landlord agreeing that any such mortgage or deed of
-40-
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
9.1 General Insurance Requirements.
(a) Tenant shall obtain, pay for and maintain the following insurance on or in
connection with the Leased Property: (i) insurance against all risk of physical loss or
damage to Tenant’s Personal Property and the Leased Improvements and Fixtures as provided
under “special form” coverage, and including perils of fire, lightning, hail, windstorm,
civil commotion, smoke, aircraft and vehicle impact, explosion, vandalism and malicious
mischief, riot, glass breakage, crime, water, mold, weight of snow and ice, sewer backup,
flood coverage for any Property located in a
-41-
designated flood plain, earthquake coverage for
any Property located in a designated earthquake zone under Applicable Law and, to the extent
required by Facility Mortgagee, terrorism insurance (to the extent available on commercially
reasonable terms), in amounts not less than the actual replacement cost of the Leased
Improvements and Fixtures (except that the amount of flood and earthquake coverage need not
exceed a $5,000,0000 per occurrence and annual aggregate limit) and loss of rent insurance
for a period of not less than eighteen (18) months which shall be payable in the event of a
termination of this Agreement with respect to any or all of the Properties pursuant to
Article 10; provided that, if Tenant’s insurance company is unable or unwilling to
include any of all of such specified perils, Tenant shall have the option of purchasing
coverage against such perils from another insurer on a “difference in conditions” form
policy or through a stand-alone policy. Such policies shall contain replacement cost and
agreed amount endorsements and “law and ordinance” coverage (at full replacement cost).
Such policies and endorsements shall contain deductibles not more than $100,000 per
occurrence (or $250,000 per occurrence with respect to flood and earthquake coverage); (ii)
commercial general
liability insurance and business automobile liability insurance (including non-owned
and hired automobile liability) against claims for personal and bodily injury, death or
property damage occurring on, in or as a result of the use of the Leased Property, in an
amount not less than $11,000,000 per occurrence/annual aggregate, on an occurrence basis,
with no self insured retention or deductible, provided, however, that so long as Tenant or
Guarantor has a net worth calculated in accordance with GAAP consistently applied of not
less than $200,000,000, then, the insurance required under this clause (ii) may have a
deductible or self-insured retention of up to $[5,000,000;] (iii) workers’ compensation
insurance in the amount required by Applicable Law and employers’ liability insurance
covering all persons employed by Tenant in connection with any work done on or about any of
the Leased Property; (iv) comprehensive boiler and machinery/equipment breakdown insurance

less than $5,000,000 per accident for damage to property (and which may be carried as part
of the coverage required under clause (i) above or pursuant to a separate policy or
-42-
endorsement). Either such boiler and machinery policy or the special causes of loss policy
required in clause (i) above shall include at least $1,000,000 per incidence for
off-premises service interruption, and not less than $100,000 per incidence for expediting
expenses, ammonia contamination, and hazardous materials clean-up expense and may contain a
deductible not to exceed $100,000; (v) business income/extra expense insurance at limits
sufficient to cover 100% of the Rent due under this Agreement for a period of not less than
twelve (12) months from time of loss; (vi) during any period in which substantial
alterations at the Leased Property are being undertaken, builder’s risk insurance covering
the total completed value, including all hard and soft costs (which shall include business
interruption coverage) with respect to the Leased Improvements being constructed, altered or
repaired (on a completed value, non-reporting basis), replacement cost of work performed and
equipment, supplies and materials furnished in connection with such construction, alteration
or repair of Leased Improvements or Fixtures, together with such other endorsements as
Landlord may reasonably require, and general liability,
worker’s compensation and automobile liability insurance with respect to the Leased
Improvements being constructed, altered or repaired; and (vii) such other insurance (or
other terms with respect to any insurance required pursuant to this Article 9,
including without limitation amounts of coverage, deductibles, ratings, form of mortgagee
clause) on or in connection with any Property as Landlord or Facility Mortgagee may
reasonably require, which at the time is usual and commonly obtained in connection with
properties similar in type of building size, use and location to the applicable Property or
in connection with loans similar to that secured by the Facility Mortgage.
(b) All of the insurance required by Section 9.1(a) shall be written by
companies having a Best’s rating of A:X or above and a claims paying ability rating of A or
better by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, a division of the McGraw Hill Companies, Inc.
or equivalent rating agency approved by Landlord and Facility Mortgagee in their sole
discretion and which are authorized to write insurance policies by, the State Insurance
Department (or its equivalent) for the states in which the Leased Property are located. The
insurance policies (i) shall be for such
-43-
terms as Landlord may reasonably approve and (ii)
shall be in amounts sufficient at all times to satisfy any coinsurance requirements thereof.
If said insurance or any part thereof shall expire, be withdrawn, become void, voidable,
unreliable or unsafe for any reason, including a breach of any condition thereof by Tenant
or the failure or impairment of the capital of any insurer, or if for any other reason
whatsoever said insurance shall become reasonably unsatisfactory to Landlord, Tenant shall
immediately obtain new or additional insurance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.
(c) Each insurance policy referred to in clauses (i), (iv), (v) and (vi) of Section
9.1(a) shall contain standard non-contributory mortgagee clauses in favor of and
acceptable to Facility Mortgagee. Each policy required by any provision of Section
9.1(a), except clause (iii) thereof, shall provide that it may not be cancelled,
substantially modified or allowed to lapse on any renewal date except after thirty (30)
days’ prior written notice to Landlord and Facility Mortgagee. Each insurance policy
shall be primary in relation to any policies which Landlord may elect to carry.
(d) Tenant shall pay as they become due all premiums for the insurance required by
Section 9.1(a), shall renew or replace each policy and deliver to Landlord evidence
of the payment of the full premium therefor or installment then due at least ten (10) days
prior to the expiration date of such policy, and shall promptly deliver to Landlord all
original certificates of insurance evidencing such coverages or, if required by Landlord,
original or certified policies. All certificates of insurance (including liability coverage)
provided to Landlord and Facility Mortgagee shall be on XXXXX Form 27 (or its equivalent).
(e) Anything in this Article 9 to the contrary notwithstanding, any insurance
which Tenant is required to obtain pursuant to Section 9.1(a) may be carried under a
“blanket” policy or policies covering other properties of Tenant or under an “umbrella”
policy or policies covering other liabilities of Tenant, as applicable; provided that, such
blanket or umbrella policy or policies otherwise comply with the provisions of this
Article 9, and such policy shall reference the Property and shall guarantee a
-44-
minimum limit available with respect to the Property which is equal to the insurance limits
required by this Agreement. Upon request of Landlord, Tenant shall provide to Landlord a
statement of replacement cost of the Property for purposes of updating the insurance
required by Section 9.1(a)(i). The original or a certified copy of each such
blanket or umbrella policy shall promptly be delivered to Landlord upon Landlord’s request.
(f) Each policy (other than workers’ compensation coverage) shall contain an effective
waiver by the carrier against all claims for payment of insurance premiums against Landlord.
(g) The insurance referred to in Section 9.1(a)(i), Section 9.1(a)(iv)
and Section 9.1(a)(vi) shall name Landlord as loss payee and Facility Mortgagee as
loss payee and mortgagee, and shall name Tenant as an insured as its interest may appear in
the case of Tenant’s Personal
Property. The insurance referred to in Section 9.1(a)(ii) shall name Landlord
and Facility Mortgagee as additional insureds, and the insurance referred to in Section
9.1(a)(v) shall name Landlord as insured and Facility Mortgagee and Landlord as loss
payee to the extent of the Rent payable to or for the benefit of Landlord as its interest
appears under this Agreement.
9.2 Waiver of Claims and Subrogation. Tenant agrees that (insofar as and to the
extent that such agreement may be effective without making it impossible to secure insurance
coverage from responsible insurance companies doing business in any State) with respect to any
property loss which is or is required herewith to be covered by insurance carried by Tenant, Tenant
hereby releases Landlord of and from any and all claims with respect to such loss; and further
agrees that its insurance companies shall have no right of subrogation against Landlord 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 Miscellaneous. 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. In the event Tenant shall fail to effect (or cause
to be effected) such insurance as
-45-
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
Facility 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.
9.4 No Separate 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 Facility
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.
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, injury to or death of persons
or loss of or damage to property occurring on or about any Property or adjoining sidewalks or
rights of way, (b) any past, present or future use, misuse, non-use, condition, management,
maintenance or repair by Tenant, any Manager or anyone claiming under any of them of any Property
or Tenant’s Personal Property or any litigation, proceeding or claim by governmental entities or
other third parties to which Landlord is made a party or participant relating to any Property or
Tenant’s Personal Property or such use, misuse, non-use, condition, management, maintenance, or
repair thereof including, failure to perform obligations (other than Condemnation proceedings) to
which
-46-
Landlord is made a party, (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 are in addition to the
obligations set forth in Section 4.3 and 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), 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; provided, however, that, so long as
no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if such proceeds shall be less than or
equal to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), 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. Provided
no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, 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.
-47-
10.2.1 Damage or Destruction of Leased Property. If, during the Term, any Property
shall be totally or partially destroyed such that such Property is thereby rendered Unsuitable for
Its Permitted Use, Landlord may, by the giving of Notice thereof to Tenant, terminate this
Agreement with respect to such affected Property, whereupon, this Agreement shall terminate with
respect to such affected Property and Landlord shall be entitled to retain the insurance proceeds
payable on account of such damage (other than any proceeds relating to Tenant’s Personal Property).
In such event, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of any deductible under the insurance
policies covering such Property, the amount of any uninsured loss and any difference between the
replacement cost of the affected Property and the casualty insurance proceeds therefor.
10.2.2 Partial Damage or Destruction. If, during the Term, any Property shall be
totally or partially destroyed but the Property is not rendered Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use,
Tenant shall, subject to Section 10.2.3, restore such Property as provided in Section
10.2.4.
10.2.3 Insufficient Insurance Proceeds. If the cost of the repair or restoration of
the applicable Property exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord and Tenant
pursuant to Section 9.1 (including, without limitation, by reason of an uninsured loss),
Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation), exercisable at Landlord’s sole election by
Notice to Tenant given within sixty (60) days after Tenant’s Notice of any such 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(d). If Landlord
shall not so elect, Tenant shall, upon the demand of Landlord, contribute any excess amounts needed
to restore such Property. Such difference shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord and held by Landlord,
together with any other insurance proceeds, for application to the cost of repair and restoration.
10.2.4 Disbursement of Proceeds. In the event Tenant is required to restore any
Property pursuant to Section 10.2, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, 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) such Property in material compliance
-48-
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 otherwise deposited with or paid by 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 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) the
absence of any Event of Default, (ii) its approval of plans and specifications of an architect
satisfactory to Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned), (iii) general contractors’ estimates, (iv) architect’s certificates, (v)
unconditional lien waivers of general contractors, if available, (vi) evidence of approval by all
governmental authorities and other regulatory bodies whose approval is required, and (vii) such
other certificates as Landlord may, from time to time, reasonably require.
Tenant’s obligation to restore any Property pursuant to this Article 10 and operate
therein shall be subject to the release of available insurance proceeds by the applicable Facility
Mortgagee to Landlord or directly to Tenant.
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
eighteen (18) months of the Term (including any Extended 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 (including any Extended Term), then either party may, by the
giving of notice thereof to the other party, terminate this Agreement with respect to such affected
Property, whereupon, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such affected Property and
Landlord shall be entitled to retain the insurance proceeds payable on account of such damage
(other than any proceeds relating to Tenant’s Personal Property).
-49-
10.4 Tenant’s 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.
10.5 Restoration of Tenant’s Property. If Tenant is required to restore any Property
as hereinabove provided, Tenant shall either (a) restore or cause to be restored all alterations
and improvements made by Tenant and Tenant’s Personal Property, or (b) replace or cause to be
replaced 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. 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, law,
rule, regulation or ordinance in effect during the Term which provides 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,
Tenant and Landlord shall seek the Award for their interests in the applicable Property as provided
in Section 11.5.
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
-50-
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 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(d). In the event that neither
Landlord nor Tenant shall elect to make such deficiency available for restoration, Landlord may
terminate this Agreement with respect to the affected Property by Notice to Tenant and the entire
Award shall be retained by Landlord.
Subject to the terms hereof, Landlord shall contribute to the cost of restoration that part of
the Award necessary to complete such repair or restoration, together with severance and other
damages awarded 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 Award and
other amounts on (i) the absence of any Event of Default, (ii) its approval of plans and
specifications of an architect satisfactory to Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld,
delayed or conditioned), (iii) general contractors’ estimates, (iv) architect’s certificates,
(v) unconditional lien waivers of general contractors, if available, (vi) evidence of approval by
-51-
all governmental authorities and other regulatory bodies whose approval is required, and (vii) 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
the collection thereof by Landlord. Tenant’s obligation to restore the applicable Leased
Improvements and operate therein shall be subject to the release of the Award by the applicable
Facility Mortgagee to Landlord.
11.3 No 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, or any portion thereof, 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. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, 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 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
-52-
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, or Tenant’s removal and relocation expenses shall be the sole property of and payable to
Tenant (subject to the provisions of Section 11.2). 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

default is susceptible of cure but such cure cannot be accomplished with due diligence
within thirty (30) days after Notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant or Guarantor, 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

of the property of Tenant or any Guarantor and such proceeding is not dismissed within one
hundred eighty (180) days after institution thereof; or
-54-
(i) should Tenant or any Guarantor cause or institute any proceeding for its
dissolution or termination; or
(j) should Tenant voluntarily cease operation of any of the Leased Property for its
Permitted Use for a period in excess of thirty (30) consecutive days, except as a result of
damage, destruction or partial or complete Condemnation in accordance with Article 10
and Article 11, in connection with any alterations or additions approved by
Landlord or permitted pursuant to Article 6; or
(k) 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 One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), in which case Tenant shall
give notice to Landlord of the dispute but Tenant may defend in any suitable way, and (y)

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 and other charges 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 net present value (as determined
utilizing an assumed interest
rate of nine percent (9%) 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 Impositions 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
-56-
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 and decorations in the Leased
Property or any portion thereof as Landlord, in its reasonable 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
-57-
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 reasonable 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 one hundred seventy-five percent
(175%) 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 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
-58-
Agreement or any obligation of Landlord, if any, under any agreement
affecting any 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 Facility 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 Facility 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.
ARTICLE 15
PURCHASE RIGHTS
If and to the extent permitted by any and all lenders or other applicable financing sources of
Tenant, LTF or any of their respective Parents, Subsidiaries or affiliates, Landlord shall have the
option to purchase Tenant’s Personal Property, at the expiration or termination of this Agreement,
for an amount equal to the then fair market value thereof (as determined by
agreement of the parties or, in the absence of such agreement, appraisal), subject to, and
with appropriate price adjustments for, all equipment leases, conditional sale contracts, UCC-1
financing statements and other encumbrances to which such Personal Property is subject (and subject
to the right of any lender or other financing source thereunder to grant or withhold its consent
thereto as provided in any such financing agreements or arrangements relating thereto), provided
that Landlord shall be permitted to assume any such lease, contract, financing or encumbrance to
the extent the same only relates to Tenant’s Personal Property at the Leased Property and Tenant is
released from liability in connection therewith. Upon the expiration or sooner termination of this
Agreement, Tenant shall use its reasonable efforts to transfer and assign, or cause to be
transferred and assigned, to Landlord or its designee, or assist Landlord or its designee in
obtaining, any contracts, licenses,
-59-
and certificates required for the then operation of the Leased
Property.
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 all or any part of the Leased
Property 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 all or any part of the Leased Property by anyone other than Tenant,
any Manager approved by Landlord or permitted pursuant to the applicable provisions of this
Agreement, or the Leased Property or any part thereof 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 or any Guarantor;
provided, however that any assignment of this Agreement (including, without
limitation, any direct or indirect Change in Control of Tenant or any Guarantor) shall not require
Landlord’s consent if each of the following conditions precedent shall have been satisfied: (i) no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) after giving effect to any
such transaction constituting an assignment, the successor tenant (the “Successor Tenant”)
or the Acquiring Guarantor, as the case may be, shall have a Tangible Net Worth in excess of Two
Hundred Million Dollars ($200,000,000) (the “Required Net Worth”), and shall be projected
to maintain such Required Net Worth for not less than the succeeding twenty-four (24) months, as
evidenced by audited financials and projections prepared in accordance with GAAP and delivered to
Landlord with an Officer’s Certificate not less than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the
closing or projected closing of such assignment or Change of Control, (iii) if applicable, each
Guarantor shall have confirmed its obligations under its Guaranty by written
-60-
agreement in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, (iv) any Acquiring Guarantor in connection with such
transaction shall have executed a Guaranty in favor of Landlord, which Guaranty shall be in form
and substance substantially similar to the LTF Guaranty, and (v) any Acquiring Guarantor in
connection with such transaction shall have delivered to Landlord evidence, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, of the due authorization, execution, delivery and
enforceability of each such Guaranty. Tenant shall give Landlord no less than fifteen (15)
Business Days prior written Notice of such contemplated assignment (including, without limitation,
any such direct or indirect Change in Control), together with such evidence regarding the
satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in the foregoing clauses as Landlord shall, in
its sole discretion, require, including, without limitation, audited financial statements for the
immediately preceding five (5) fiscal years of the Successor Tenant and any Acquiring Guarantor
(including, without limitation, balance sheets and related statements of income and cash flows),
and pro forma balance sheets and income statements with respect to the Successor Tenant and any
Acquiring Guarantor following consummation of such assignment (including, without limitation, any
direct or indirect Change in Control).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Successor Tenant or Acquiring Guarantor
is unable or unwilling
to provide a Guaranty in connection with any such assignment or Change of Control, Tenant may
elect, in lieu thereof, to deposit, or caused to be deposited, with Landlord, fifteen (15) Business
Days prior to the date of closing of such proposed assignment or Change of Control, a cash security
deposit (the “Security Deposit”) in an amount equal to the per annum Minimum Rent then
payable hereunder, which security deposit is to be held by Landlord as security for the payment and
performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 16.1.
Upon an assignment permitted under this Section 16.1, the transferor Tenant or
Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be released from all liabilities and obligations under this
Agreement or its Guaranty arising subsequent to the effective date of such assignment.
In the event that Tenant shall at any time during the Term deposit the Security Deposit with
Landlord, the Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the faithful
-61-
observance
and performance by Tenant of all the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement by Tenant to
be observed and performed. The Security Deposit shall not be mortgaged, assigned, transferred or
otherwise encumbered by Tenant without the prior written consent of Landlord and any such act on
the part of Tenant without first having obtained Landlord’s consent shall be without force and
effect and shall not be binding upon Landlord.
If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Landlord may, as its option and without
prejudice to any other remedy which Landlord may have on account thereof, appropriate and apply the
entire Security Deposit or so much thereof as may be necessary to compensate Landlord toward the
payment of Rent or other sums or loss or damage sustained by Landlord due to such breach on the
part of Tenant, and Tenant shall, upon demand, restore the Security Deposit to the original sum
deposited. It is understood and agreed that the Security Deposit is not to be considered as
prepaid rent, nor shall damages be limited to the amount of the Security Deposit. Provided no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any unapplied balance of the Security
Deposit shall be returned in full to Tenant at the end of the Term. Landlord shall have no
obligation to pay interest on the Security Deposit
and shall have the right to commingle the same with Landlord’s other funds. If Landlord
conveys Landlord’s interest under this Agreement, the portion of the Security Deposit so turned
over, or any part thereof not previously applied, may be turned over by Landlord to Landlord’s
grantee, and, if so turned over, Tenant shall look solely to such grantee for proper application of
the Security Deposit in accordance with the terms of this Section 16.1 and the return
thereof in accordance herewith.
If this Agreement is assigned or if all or any part of the Leased Property is sublet (or
occupied by anybody other than Tenant or any Manager), following an Event of Default Landlord may
collect the rents from such assignee, subtenant or occupant, as the case may be, and apply the net
amount collected to the Rent herein reserved, 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.
-62-
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. Any sublease of all or any portion of the Leased
Property entered into on or after the date hereof 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 Facility Mortgagee, as holder of a mortgage or as Landlord under this Agreement,
if such Facility 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 Leased Property or any applicable 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, (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 applicable portion of the Leased Property;
and (c), in the event that such subtenant receives a written Notice
-63-
from Landlord or any Facility
Mortgagee stating that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, 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. All rentals received from such subtenant by
Landlord or the Facility Mortgagee, as the case may be, shall be credited against the amounts owing
by Tenant under this Agreement and 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 Notwithstanding the foregoing, including, without limitation,
Section 16.2, but subject to the provisions of Section 16.4 and any other express
conditions or limitations set forth herein, Tenant may, in each instance after Notice to Landlord,
(a) enter into one or more subleases, licenses, concessions or other occupancy agreements in
furtherance of the Permitted Use with respect to any Property, so long as (i) such subleases,
concessions or other occupancy agreements are incidental to the use of such Property as an athletic
club/fitness center/wellness center as such use may be from time to time be operated in athletic
club/fitness center/wellness center properties owned and/or operated by Tenant and its Affiliated
Persons, and (ii) such subleases, concessions or other occupancy agreements 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 the space
-64-
covered thereby as
Landlord and any Facility Mortgagee may reasonably require, and (b) enter into one or more
subleases with Affiliated Persons of Tenant or LTF with respect to the Leased Property or any
portion thereof (provided that any such sublease is not entered into in connection with, or
simultaneously with (whether through one or a series of transactions), a direct or indirect Change
in Control in violation of the restrictions contained in Section 16.1).
16.4 Sublease Limitation. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, Tenant shall not sublet all or any portion of the Leased Property on any basis
such that the rental to be paid by any sublessee thereunder would be based, in whole or in part, on
the net income or profits derived by the business activities of such sublessee or any other formula
such that any portion of such sublease rental 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 for treatment under the Code as a real estate investment trust.
ARTICLE 17
ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
17.1 Estoppel Certificates. At any time and from time to time, 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

(c) Annually and quarterly during the Term, financial information and operating

of the Leased Property during usual business hours upon not less than forty-eight (48) hours’
notice and to make such repairs as Landlord is permitted or required to make pursuant to the terms

not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use and operation of the same and further provided that in
the event of an emergency, as determined by Landlord in its reasonable discretion, prior Notice
shall not be necessary.
ARTICLE 19
EASEMENTS

Landlord will join in granting and, if necessary, modifying or abandoning such rights-of-way,

ARTICLE 20
RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER
20.1 Right of First Offer. If Landlord desires to sell the Leased Property, or if
Landlord shall otherwise receive an offer from a party other than Tenant for any such sale or
transfer which Landlord intends to accept, then Landlord shall, prior to entering into an agreement
with respect to such sale, provide, or shall cause to be provided, written notice (the “ROFO
Notice”) to Tenant of its intention to effect such a transaction, which ROFO Notice shall
specify the cash purchase price for the Leased Property (the “ROFO Purchase Price”), the
terms of payment and the closing date. Tenant shall have fifteen (15) days from the receipt of the
ROFO Notice to notify Landlord in writing (the “ROFO Acceptance Notice”) of its intent to
purchase the Leased Property on the terms and conditions set forth in the ROFO Notice, except that
any sale to Tenant to shall in all events be “AS IS”, “WHERE IS”, without representation or
warranty by Landlord. In the event that, at any time within three hundred sixty five (365) days
after the date that Tenant shall have failed to provide Landlord with a ROFO Acceptance Notice,
Landlord shall elect to sell the Leased Property for a purchase price that is less than ninety
percent (90%) of the ROFO Purchase Price, Landlord shall provide to Tenant a ROFO Notice specifying
such reduced ROFO Purchase Price and Tenant shall have fifteen (15) days from the receipt of the
ROFO Notice in which to deliver a ROFO Acceptance Notice with respect thereto. The negotiation
and execution of a mutually acceptable purchase and sale agreement must occur no more than fifteen
(15) days from Landlord’s receipt of any ROFO
-70-
Acceptance Notice pursuant to this Article 20
for any reason other than bad faith on the part of Landlord. If Tenant shall fails to provide
Landlord with a ROFO
Acceptance Notice within
fifteen (15) days of receipt of any ROFO Notice pursuant to this Article 20, or if a
mutually acceptable purchase and sale agreement is not executed within fifteen (15) days after

connection with any financing (or a foreclosure sale or deed in lieu thereof), (iv) a transfer to

substantially all of its assets or (vi) any sale of an interest in Landlord.
20.2 Attornment. If the Leased Property is transferred to a third party in accordance

third party and Landlord notify Tenant in writing of such transfer. At the request of Landlord,
Tenant shall execute such documents confirming the agreement referred to above and such other
agreements as Landlord shall reasonably request, provided that such agreements do not
increase the liabilities and obligations of Tenant hereunder.
20.3 General. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,

Leased Property, including, but not limited to, a Condemnation or casualty, shall give Tenant any

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.
22.2 Subordination of Lease. This Agreement and any and all rights of Tenant
hereunder are, and shall be, subject and subordinate (as applicable) 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, provided that the holder
thereof shall agree that it shall recognize and not disturb this Agreement and all of Tenant’s
rights hereunder subject to, and upon, the terms and conditions hereof, including, without
limitation, the provisions of this Article 22. 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; provided that any such instrument shall provide for the recognition and
nondisturbance of this Agreement and all of Tenant’s rights hereunder upon and subject to the terms
and conditions contained herein, including, without limitation, this Section 22.2 and shall
obligate the Facility Mortgagee to permit Landlord to apply insurance proceeds and Awards as
required by this Agreement. 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
-75-
the holder, trustee or beneficiary of a Superior Mortgage is herein called “Superior
Mortgagee”.
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 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 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
-76-
and Superior Landlord in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Tenant.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Successor Landlord shall be liable
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.
22.3 Notice to Mortgagee and Superior Landlord. Subsequent to the receipt by Tenant
of Notice from Landlord as to the identity of any Facility 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 22.1 (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 Facility Mortgagee
or Superior Landlord unless and until a copy of the same is given to such Facility 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 Facility Mortgagee or Superior Landlord shall be treated as performance by Landlord.

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
-78-
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.
24.2 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. To the maximum extent
permitted by law, no waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Agreement, which shall
continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach.
24.3 Remedies Cumulative. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each legal,
equitable or contractual right, power and remedy of Landlord or Tenant, now or hereafter provided

by Landlord or Tenant (as applicable) of any one or more of such rights, powers and remedies shall
not preclude the simultaneous or subsequent exercise by Landlord of any or all of such other
rights, powers and remedies.
24.4 Severability. Any clause, sentence, paragraph, section or provision of this
Agreement held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or ineffective shall not
impair, invalidate or nullify the remainder of this Agreement, but rather the effect thereof shall
be confined to the clause, sentence, paragraph, section or provision so held to be invalid, illegal
or ineffective, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or ineffective
provisions had never been contained therein.
24.5 Acceptance of Surrender. 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.
-79-
24.6 No Merger of Title. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that it is the
intent of the parties that there shall be no merger of this Agreement or of the leasehold estate
created hereby by reason of the fact that the same Person may acquire, own or hold, directly or

the terms hereof other than as security for a debt, and the grantee or transferee of such of the
Leased Property shall expressly assume all obligations of Landlord hereunder arising or accruing
from and after the date of such conveyance or transfer, Landlord or such successor owner, as the
case may be, shall thereupon be released from all future liabilities and obligations of Landlord

the date of such conveyance or other transfer and all such future liabilities and obligations shall
thereupon be binding upon the new owner.

on Schedule B to the applicable owner’s title insurance policy issued Landlord with respect to such
Property or otherwise permitted under this Agreement, (c) liens as to obligations of Landlord that
are either not yet due or which are being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings,
provided the same do not materially interfere with Tenant’s ability to operate any Fitness Center
and (d) liens that have been consented to in writing by Tenant. Except as otherwise provided in
this Agreement, no failure by Landlord to comply with the foregoing covenant shall give Tenant any
right to cancel or terminate this Agreement or xxxxx, reduce or make a deduction from or offset
against the Rent or any other sum payable under this Agreement, or to fail to perform any other
obligation of Tenant hereunder.
24.9 No Recordation. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall record this Agreement.

24.11 Construction. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, all claims against, and liabilities of, Tenant or Landlord arising prior to any
date of termination or expiration of this Agreement with respect to the Leased Property shall
survive such termination or expiration. In no event shall Landlord be liable for any consequential
damages suffered by Tenant as the result of a breach of this Agreement by Landlord. Neither this
Agreement nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated except by an
instrument in writing signed by the party to be charged. All the terms and provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns. Each term or provision of this Agreement to be performed by Tenant shall
be construed as an independent covenant and condition. Time is of the essence with respect to the
provisions of this Agreement. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, any obligations of
Tenant (including without limitation, any monetary, repair and indemnification obligations) and
Landlord shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement. Tenant hereby
acknowledges that the agreement between Landlord and Tenant to treat this Agreement as a single
lease in all respects was and is of primary importance, and a material inducement, to Landlord to
enter into this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties hereto
acknowledge that this Agreement constitutes a single lease of the Leased Property and is not
divisible notwithstanding any references herein to any
-82-
individual Property and notwithstanding the possibility that certain individual Properties may
be deleted herefrom pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement.
24.12 Counterparts; Headings. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but which, when taken together, shall
constitute but one instrument and shall become effective as of the date hereof when copies hereof,
which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the parties hereto shall have been
signed. Headings in this Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or
affect the meaning of the provisions hereof.
24.13 Applicable Law, Etc. This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed, applied
and enforced in accordance with the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts applicable to
contracts between residents of Massachusetts which are to be performed entirely within
Massachusetts, regardless of (i) where this Agreement is executed or delivered; or (ii) where any
payment or other performance required by this Agreement is made or required to be made; or (iii)
where any breach of any provision of this Agreement occurs, or any cause of action otherwise
accrues; or (iv) where any action or other proceeding is instituted or pending; or (v) the
nationality, citizenship, domicile, principal place of business, or jurisdiction of organization or
domestication of any party; or (vi) whether the laws of the forum jurisdiction otherwise would
apply the laws of a jurisdiction other than Massachusetts; or (vii) any combination of the
foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the laws of the State shall apply to the perfection and
priority of liens upon and the disposition of any Property.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any action to enforce, arising out of, or
relating in any way to, any of the provisions of this Agreement may be brought and prosecuted in

registered mail, return receipt requested, or by any other manner provided by law.
24.14 Right to Make Agreement. Each party warrants, with respect to itself, that
neither the execution of this Agreement, nor the consummation of any transaction contemplated
hereby, shall violate any provision of any law, or any judgment, writ, injunction, order or decree
of any court or governmental
-83-
authority having jurisdiction over it; nor result in or constitute a breach or default under
any indenture, contract, other commitment or restriction to which it is a party or by which it is
bound; nor require any consent, vote or approval which has not been given or taken, or at the time
of the transaction involved shall not have been given or taken. Each party covenants that it has
and will continue to have throughout the term of this Agreement and any extensions thereof, the
full right to enter into this Agreement and perform its obligations hereunder.
