(j) | LIENS. |
Tenant shall not, directly or indirectly, create, or permit to be created or to remain, and shall remove and discharge (including, without limitation, by any statutory bonding procedure or any other bonding procedure reasonably satisfactory to Landlord which shall be sufficient to prevent any loss of the Landlord's interest in the Premises) within thirty (30) days after obtaining knowledge thereof, any mortgage, lien, encumbrance or other charge on the Premises or the leasehold estate created hereby or any Fixed Rent or Additional Rent payable hereunder which arises due to any work done by or for Tenant, any labor, services, materials, supplies or equipment provided to or for Tenant, or any acts or omissions of Tenant.

Nothing in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to preclude Tenant from being entitled to insurance proceeds or awards for any taking, to the extent provided in this Lease.
(l) | COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. |
During the Term, Tenant shall comply with all Laws relating to the Premises. As used herein, (i) the term "Laws" shall mean all present and future laws, common law, statutes, codes, ordinances, orders, judgments, decrees, injunctions, rules, regulations and requirements, even if unforeseen or extraordinary, of every duly constituted governmental authority or agency (but excluding those which by their terms are not applicable to and do not impose any obligation on Tenant, Landlord or the Premises or which are due to take effect after expiration of the Term)

Upon reasonable advance notice to Tenant, during the last one hundred fifty (150) days of the then-current Term, unless Tenant shall have exercised the next Renewal Option, Landlord also may enter onto the Premises to show the Premises to persons wishing to rent the same. No such entry shall constitute an eviction of Tenant but any such entry shall be done by Landlord in such reasonable manner as to reasonably minimize any disruption of Tenant's business operation. Landlord shall comply with, and shall cause any of its admittees pursuant to this section to comply with, Tenant's reasonable safety requirements related to entry upon active rail property. Any such entry by Landlord and its admittees upon the Premises may, at Tenant's discretion, be subject to mandatory escort by Tenant and shall not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's operations.

14. | WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. |
Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord and Tenant each waive any rights of action for negligence against the other party, which rights of action may arise during the Term for damage to the Premises or to the property therein resulting from any fire or other casualty, but only to the extent covered by insurance.
15. | DAMAGE; DESTRUCTION. |
(a)In the event of any damage to or destruction of the Premises by fire, flood or other casualty during the Term (a "Casualty"), Tenant shall give Landlord and Lender, if applicable, prompt written notice thereof.

Exhibit 10.5
be no abatement or reduction of Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or of any other sums payable by Tenant hereunder.
(c)Following any Casualty, Tenant shall take reasonable steps to ensure that the Premises are secure and do not pose any risk or harm to any persons or to any adjoining property. Tenant shall repair and restore the Premises as nearly as possible to at least a condition as required by Section 11 and subject to Section 18 (such restoration or repair of the Premises, whether in connection with a Condemnation or a Casualty, as the context requires, herein called a "Restoration") in accordance with all Laws and all other terms of this Lease.
(d)Tenant waives the benefit of any Law that provides Tenant any abatement or termination rights by virtue of a Casualty. To the extent that (i) termination rights by virtue of a Casualty are unwaivable under Laws and (ii) this Lease is terminated as a result of a Casualty, Tenant's obligation to repair and restore any damaged portion of the Premises pursuant to Section 14(c) above shall expressly survive any such termination, and Tenant, its agents and contractors have the right of entry upon the Premises to conduct such repair and Restoration.
16. | CONDEMNATION. |
(a)Promptly upon obtaining knowledge of any proceeding for condemnation or eminent domain that has been filed in a court of competent jurisdiction with respect to the Premises, Tenant and Landlord shall each notify the other, and each shall be entitled to participate in such proceeding at their respective expense. In connection with any final adjudication of rights of a third party to take possession of all or part of the Premises (a "Taking" or "Condemnation"), if such Taking constitutes (i) a Major Condemnation, Landlord shall be entitled to the entire amount of any award or payment with respect to such taking, and Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns to Landlord any rights of Tenant to any such award or payment in respect of any Condemnation of the Premises (including, but not limited to any award or payment granted for the residual value of Tenant's leasehold interest pursuant to this Lease), or (ii) a Minor Condemnation, Landlord shall be entitled to the entire amount of any award or payment with respect to its interest in the Premises, and Tenant shall be entitled to the entire amount of any award or payment with respect to its leasehold interest.
(b)In the event of a Taking of (i) the entire Premises or (ii) a material portion of the land comprising the Premises which would, in Tenant's reasonable judgment, result in a loss of use of more than fifty percent (50%) of the rail track space on the Premises (a "Major Condemnation"), then not later than ninety (90) days after the Taking has occurred, Tenant may serve written notice upon Landlord ("Tenant's Termination Notice") of Tenant's intention to terminate this Lease on any Fixed Rent payment Due Date specified in such notice, which Due Date shall be no sooner than ninety (90) days after Tenant's Termination Notice but, in any event, not later than the last day of the Term of this Lease (such date, the "Lease Condemnation Termination Date"). If a Major Condemnation occurs, all Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other charges due under this Lease, up and through the Lease Condemnation Termination Date, shall be payable on or before the Lease Condemnation Termination Date.
(c)In the event of any Taking of a portion of the Premises which does not result in a termination of this Lease (a "Minor Condemnation"), this Lease shall terminate only with respect to such the part of the Premises which are the subject of such Taking. Tenant shall promptly commence and diligently complete the Restoration of the Premises in accordance with all Laws and all other terms of this Lease, provided that Tenant shall not be obligated to expend more than the amount of the award payable to Tenant under this Lease in connection with such Minor Condemnation. If a Minor Condemnation occurs, the Fixed Rent due to Landlord shall be reduced by the percentage of the rail track space that is lost in connection with such Taking.
(d)Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if there is a Taking with respect to any real property located below the grade level of the Premises (a "Sub-Surface Taking") (whether for pipelines or other purposes), as long as such taking does not result in a Major Condemnation, the Term shall continue and there shall be no abatement or reduction of Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or of any other sums payable by Tenant pursuant to this Lease.
(e)Tenant shall retain its rights under applicable Law to oppose any proposed Taking (but Tenant shall nevertheless be subject to any Taking that is effected notwithstanding any attempts by Tenant to oppose such Taking).
17. | ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. |
(a)Tenant shall not have the right to assign this Lease, or to sublet the whole or any part of the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be granted or withheld in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, (i) Tenant may assign its right under this Lease without the consent of Landlord (A) if such assignment occurs as a result of a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of Tenant's assets located within a one hundred (100) mile radius of the Dayton, Texas area, or (B) pursuant to a merger, sale, consolidation or combination of Tenant or by order or decree of any governmental authority, and
Exhibit 10.5
(ii) Tenant may sublet any portion of the Premises if the terms of the proposed sublease require the sublessee to maintain the portion of the Premises covered by such sublease in a manner consistent with the standard of maintenance that Tenant utilizes for similar facilities owned by Tenant of similar size, but in no event less than the standards required under the terms of this Lease. In the event of a subletting hereunder, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of such sublease within fifteen (15) days after execution thereof. In the event of any assignment of Tenant's interest in this Lease or any subletting of all or any portion of the Premises, Tenant, and its successors and assigns shall remain fully liable for all obligations of Tenant hereunder, which liability of Tenant shall be and remain that of a primary obliger and not a guarantor or surety. Tenant agrees that in the case of an assignment of this Lease, Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) days after the execution and delivery of any such assignment, deliver to Landlord (i) a duplicate original of such assignment in recordable form and (ii) an agreement executed and acknowledged by the assignee in recordable form whereby the assignee shall agree to assume, observe and perform all of the terms and provisions of this Lease on the part of the Tenant to be observed and performed from and after the date of such assignment. Tenant agrees that in the case of an assignment of this Lease requiring written consent of Landlord, Tenant shall deliver copies of any such assignment(s) to Landlord upon request of Landlord. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in connection with Tenant's exercise of its right of first offer pursuant to Section 44 or its right of first refusal pursuant to Section 45, Tenant may assign its purchase rights (but not its obligations) to an exchange intermediary pursuant to Section 46 without the consent of Landlord.
(b) Subject to Section 44 and Section 45, Landlord may freely transfer the Premises and this Lease without the consent of Tenant.
18. | ALTERATIONS. |
(a)Tenant may make any structural or non-structural, interior and/or exterior alterations, changes, modifications, additions, improvements, reconstructions or replacements at the Premises which are in compliance with the terms of the Property Agreements (individually, "Alteration" and collectively, the "Alterations"), provided, however, that (i) Tenant shall obtain the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be granted or withheld in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion, to any Alteration which materially adversely affects the use of the Access Areas, and (ii) Tenant shall obtain the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to any structural Alteration of the Building or any Alteration that materially affects the gas, heating, plumbing, or any other systems servicing the Premises. All Alterations shall comply with applicable Laws.
(b)Tenant agrees that in connection with any Alteration: (i) all such Alterations shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner, and in compliance with all applicable Laws;
(ii) Tenant shall promptly pay all costs and expenses of any such Alteration; (iii) Tenant shall procure and pay for all permits and licenses required in connection with any such Alteration required by applicable Laws; and (iv) to the extent required under applicable Laws, all Alterations shall be made under the supervision of an architect or engineer and in accordance with plans and specifications which shall be submitted to Landlord (for information purposes only) prior to the commencement of the Alterations.
19. | SIGNS. |
At Tenant's sole cost, Tenant may install, replace, relocate and maintain and repair in and on the Building, such signs, awnings, lighting effects and fixtures as may be used from time to time by Tenant (collectively, "Signs"). All Signs of Tenant shall comply with Laws.
20. | SURRENDER. |
At the expiration or within 30 days after any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in the condition required by Section 11. All Alterations existing on the Premises at such time, except Tenant's furniture and those moveable trade fixtures that are located inside the Buildings, such as computer(s) and other similar moveable equipment and shelving (collectively, "Building Trade Fixtures"), shall become the property of Landlord and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof at the termination or other expiration of the Term. At the expiration or termination of the Term, Tenant shall remove its Building Trade Fixtures and all rail cars, locomotives and other equipment or personal property as well as its Signs and identification marks, from the Premises and repair any and all damage caused
Exhibit 10.5
by such removal. Building Trade Fixtures and other personal property of Tenant not so removed at the end of the Term or within thirty (30) days after the earlier termination of the Term for any reason whatsoever shall, at Landlord's sole option, be deemed abandoned and shall become the property of Landlord, and Landlord may thereafter cause such property to be removed from the Premises. If Tenant fails to remove any such property from the Premises, the reasonable cost of removing and disposing of such property and repairing any damage to any of the Premises caused by such removal shall be borne by Tenant. Landlord shall not in any manner or to any extent be obligated to reimburse Tenant for any property that becomes the property of Landlord as a result of such expiration or earlier termination. The provisions of this Section 20 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease.
At any time during the Term, Tenant may remove the Building Trade Fixtures, as well as its Signs and identification marks, from the Premises, provided Tenant repairs any and all damage caused by such removal.
21. | SUBORDINATION OF LEASE. |
(a)This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any Mortgage and to all advances made upon the security thereof, provided that any such Lender shall execute and deliver to Tenant a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C or such other commercially reasonable form as any Lender may request that is generally consistent with the form attached hereto as Exhibit C ("SNDA Agreement"), which SNDA Agreement shall provide that such Lender recognizes this Lease and agrees to not disturb Tenant's possession of the Premises in the event of foreclosure if Tenant is not then in default hereunder beyond any applicable cure period. This Lease shall not be subordinate to any Mortgage for which the Lender has not entered into such SNDA Agreement notwithstanding any consent provided by Tenant pursuant to Sections l(m) or 21(c). Tenant agrees, upon receipt of such SNDA Agreement, to execute such SNDA Agreement and such further reasonable instrument(s) as may be necessary to so subordinate this Lease; provided such SNDA Agreement and other instrument(s) are consistent with the terms of this Lease. The term "Mortgage" shall include any mortgages, deeds of trust or any other similar hypothecations of the Premises securing Lender's Loan to Landlord, regardless of whether or not such Mortgage is recorded.
(b)Tenant agrees to attom, from time to time, to any Lender, and to any purchaser of the Premises, for the remainder of the Term, provided that such Lender or such purchaser shall then be entitled to possession of the Premises, subject to the provisions of this Lease. This subsection shall inure to the benefit of any Lender or such purchaser, shall apply notwithstanding that, as a matter of Law, this Lease may terminate upon the foreclosure of the Mortgage (in which event the parties shall execute a new lease for the remainder of the Term containing the provisions of this Lease), shall be self-operative upon any such demand, and no further instrument shall be required to give effect to said provisions. Each such party shall however, upon demand of the other, execute instruments in confirmation of the foregoing provisions reasonably satisfactory to the requesting party acknowledging such subordination, non disturbance and attomment and setting forth the terms and conditions hereof.
(c)Subject to Tenant's rights under this Section 21, Tenant hereby consents to any assignment of this Lease by Landlord to or for the benefit of any Lender as security for any loan provided by such Lender.
(d)If any Lender (or such Lender's successor) acquires Landlord's interest in the Lease or the Premises, such acquisition shall be subject to the terms of this Lease. Tenant agrees that any such transferee shall not be:
(i)liable for any act or omission of Landlord;
(ii)bound by any payment of Fixed Rent or Additional Rent that Tenant might have paid more than one month in advance of the due date thereof.
22. | INTENTIONALLY OMITTED. |
23. | UTILITIES. |
Tenant agrees to make its own arrangements for and to timely pay for all utilities consumed by it in
Exhibit 10.5
the Premises.
24. | TENANT DEFAULT. |
(a)Any of the following occurrences or acts shall constitute an "Event of Default" under this Lease: if (i) Tenant shall default in the payment when due of any installment of Fixed Rent payable hereunder, and such default shall continue for twenty (20) days after the Due Date thereof; or (ii) Tenant shall default in the payment when due of any installment of Additional Rent payable hereunder and such default shall continue for thirty (30) days after written notice of such default is sent to Tenant by Landlord; or (iii) Tenant shall default in fulfilling any of the other covenants, agreements or obligations of this Lease, and such default shall continue for more than thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord specifying such default, provided, that if Tenant has commenced to cure within said thirty (30) days, and thereafter is in good faith diligently prosecuting same to completion, said thirty (30) day period shall be extended, for a reasonable time (not to exceed an additional one hundred eighty (180) days); or
(iv) any material representation or warranty made by Tenant to Landlord in this Lease is materially false when made; or (v) Tenant (A) shall make any assignment or other act for the benefit of creditors, (B) shall file a petition or take any other action seeking relief under any state or federal insolvency or bankruptcy laws, or (C) shall have an involuntary petition or any other action filed against either of them under any state or federal insolvency or bankruptcy laws which petition or other action is not vacated or dismissed within ninety (90) days after the commencement thereof; or (vi) any execution or attachment shall be issued against Tenant or any of its interest in the Premises and the same shall not be bonded, dismissed, or discharged as required by this Lease; or (vii) the estate or interest of Tenant in the Premises shall be levied upon or attached in any proceeding and such estate or interest is about to be sold or transferred and such process shall not be vacated or discharged within sixty (60) days after such levy or attachment.
(b)If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Landlord shall be entitled to all remedies available at law or in equity. Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, Landlord shall have the right to give Tenant notice of Landlord's termination of the Term of this Lease. Upon the giving of such notice, the Term of this Lease and the estate hereby granted shall expire and terminate on such date as fully and completely and with the same effect as if such date were the date herein fixed for the expiration of the Term of this Lease, and all rights of Tenant hereunder shall expire and terminate, but Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided.
(c)If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Landlord shall have the immediate right, whether or not the Term of this Lease shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 24(b), to re-enter and repossess the Premises and the right to remove all persons and property therefrom by summary proceedings, ejectment, any other legal action or in any lawful manner Landlord determines to be necessary or desirable. Landlord shall be under no liability by reason of any such reentry, repossession or removal. No such re-entry, repossession or removal shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease unless a notice of such termination is given to Tenant pursuant to Section 24(b).
(d)At any time or from time to time after a re-entry, repossession or removal pursuant to Section 24(c), whether or not the Term of this Lease shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 24(b), to the extent permitted by applicable Law Landlord may (but, except to the extent expressly required by any applicable Law, shall be under no obligation to) relet the Premises for the account of Tenant, in the name of Tenant or Landlord or otherwise, without notice to Tenant, for such term or terms and on such conditions and for such uses as Landlord, in its absolute discretion, may determine. Landlord may collect any rents payable by reason of such reletting. Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to relet the Premises or for any failure to collect any rent due upon any such reletting.
(e)To the extent permitted by applicable Law, no expiration or termination of the Term of this Lease pursuant to Section 24(b), by operation of law or otherwise, and no re-entry, repossession or removal pursuant to Section 24(c) or otherwise, and no reletting of the Premises pursuant to Section 24(d) or otherwise, shall relieve Tenant of its liabilities and obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive such expiration, termination, re-entry, repossession, removal or reletting.
(f)In the event of any expiration or termination of the Term of this Lease or re-entry or
Exhibit 10.5
repossession of the Premises or removal of persons or property therefrom by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other sums required to be paid by Tenant, in each case together with interest thereon at the Lease Default Rate from the due date thereof to and including the date of such expiration, termination, re-entry, repossession or removal; and thereafter, Tenant shall, until the end of what would have been the Term of this Lease in the absence of such expiration, termination, re-entry, repossession or removal and whether or not the Premises shall have been relet, be liable to Landlord for, and shall pay to Landlord, as liquidated and agreed current damages: (i) all Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other sums which would be payable under this Lease by Tenant in the absence of any such expiration, termination, re-entry, repossession or removal. Tenant shall pay such liquidated and agreed current damages on the dates on which Fixed Rent would be payable under this Lease in the absence of such expiration, termination, re-entry, repossession or removal, and Landlord shall be entitled to recover the same from Tenant on each such date.
(g)At any time after any such expiration or termination of the Term of this Lease or re-entry or repossession of the Premises or removal of persons or property thereon by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default, whether or not Landlord shall have collected any liquidated and agreed current damages pursuant to Section 24(f), Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand, as and for liquidated and agreed final damages for Tenant's default, an amount equal to the sum of (i) the excess, if any of (A) the aggregate of all Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other sums which would be payable under this Lease, in each case from the date of such demand (or, if it be earlier, the date to which Tenant shall have satisfied in full its obligations under Section 24(f) to pay liquidated and agreed current damages) for what would be the then-unexpired Term of this Lease in the absence of such expiration, termination, re-entry, repossession or removal, discounted at the rate equal to the then rate on U.S. Treasury obligations of comparable maturity to such Term (the "Discount Rate") over (B) the then current fair market rent for the Premises for the balance of the Term (as determined by an independent third-party appraiser selected by Landlord) discounted at the Discount Rate plus (ii) all reasonable legal fees and other costs and expenses incurred by Landlord as a result of Tenant's default under this Lease. If any Law shall limit the amount of liquidated final damages to less than the amount above agreed upon, Landlord shall be entitled to the maximum amount allowable under such Law.
Mention in this Lease of any particular remedy shall not preclude Landlord from any other remedy at law or in equity, including the right of injunction. Tenant waives any rights of redemption granted by any Laws if Tenant is evicted or dispossessed, for any cause, or if Landlord obtains possession of the Premises by reason of an Event of Default.
(h)In no event shall Tenant be liable to Landlord or any other person for consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages (including, without limitation, lost profits), except with respect to consequential and/or indirect damages that may be covered by Tenant's indemnity under Section 27.
25. | LANDLORD DEFAULT. |
If Landlord defaults in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease, Tenant shall notify Landlord of the default, and Landlord shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice to cure the specified default. If Landlord is not reasonably able to cure the specified default within such 30-day period, Landlord shall have such additional period of time as is reasonably necessary to cure the specified default, provided Landlord commences the cure within the 30-day period and thereafter for a reasonable period of time diligently pursues and effects the cure. In no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant or any other person for consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages, including, without limitation, claims for lost profits. In the event of a default by Landlord which is not cured after notice and within the applicable cure period, Tenant shall be entitled to exercise all remedies available at law or in equity, subject in all instances to the terms and conditions of this Lease (including, without limitation, Section 8 and Section 36), including rights of injunction and specific performance. Tenant shall be entitled to recover from Landlord and Landlord shall pay to Tenant within 15 days after demand all reasonable legal fees and other reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Tenant as a result of enforcing its rights in connection with Landlord's default under this Lease.
26. | RENT PAYMENTS. |
If Landlord's interest in this Lease shall pass to another, or if the Fixed Rent or Additional Rent
Exhibit 10.5
hereunder shall be assigned, or if a party, other than Landlord, shall become entitled to collect the Fixed Rent or Additional Rent due hereunder, then notice thereof shall be given to Tenant by Landlord in writing, or, if Landlord is an individual and shall have died or become incapacitated, by Landlord's legal representative, accompanied by due proof of the appointment of such legal representative. Until such notice and proof shall be received by Tenant, Tenant may continue to pay the rent due hereunder to the one to whom, and in the manner in which, the last preceding installment of rent hereunder was paid, and each such payment shall fully discharge Tenant with respect to such payment.
Tenant shall not be obligated to recognize any agent for the collection of rent or otherwise authorized to act with respect to the Premises until written notice of the appointment and the extent of the authority of such agent shall be given to Tenant by the one appointing such agent. Tenant shall be entitled to rely on any such written notice appointing such agent and on any notices given by such agent as if such notice were given by Landlord until it has received written notice from Landlord revoking the authority granted to such agent, and Tenant shall be credited for all payments made in reliance on such written notices.
27. | HOLDOVER. |
If Tenant shall hold over after the expiration date of the Term, or if Tenant shall hold over after the date specified in any termination notice given by Tenant under Section 16(b), then, in either such event, Tenant shall be a month-to-month Tenant on the same terms as herein provided, except that the monthly Fixed Rent will be (i) for the first three months after the expiration of the Term, 150% of the monthly Fixed Rent, (ii) for the fourth through sixth months after the expiration of the Term, 200% of the monthly Fixed Rent, and (iii) for the seventh month after the expiration of the Term and each month thereafter, 300% of the monthly Fixed Rent, which, in each case, was payable by Tenant during the final year of the Term (or, if applicable, Extension Period) immediately preceding such holdover period. No holding over by Tenant or payment or acceptance of rent after the expiration of termination of this Lease shall be construed to extend or renew the Term or in any other manner be construed as permission by Landlord to hold over nor shall any Fixed Rent paid during the hold over set any precedence as to future lease negotiations between Tenant and Landlord. In the event Tenant shall be or become a holdover tenant, Tenant shall also indemnify Landlord against all claims for damages against Landlord as a result of Tenant's possession of the Premises, including, without limitation, claims for damages by any tenant to whom Landlord may have leased the Premises, or any portion thereof, for a term commencing after the expiration or termination of this Lease and for all other losses, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by reason of such holding over.
28. | NOTICES. |
Whenever, pursuant to this Lease, notice, consent, approval, request or demand shall or may be given to either of the parties by the other, and whenever either of the parties shall desire to give to the other any notice, consent, approval, request or demand with respect to this Lease or the Premises, each such notice, consent, approval, request or demand shall be in writing, and any Laws to the contrary notwithstanding, shall not be effective for any purpose unless the same shall be given or served as follows: by mailing the same to the other party by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by delivery by nationally recognized overnight courier service provided a receipt is required, at its Notice Address set forth in Section 1, or at such other address as either party may from time to time designate by notice given to the other. The date of receipt of the notice or demand shall be deemed the date of the service thereof (unless delivery of the notice or demand is refused or rejected, in which case the date of such refusal or rejection shall be deemed the date of service thereof).
29. | INDEMNITY. |
Tenant shall defend Landlord and its successors and assigns and any of their respective owners, partners, trustees, beneficial owners, members, managers, employees, agents, officers, directors or shareholders, together with any Lender, and any owner, partner, member, manager, trustee, beneficial owner, officer, director, shareholder, employee or agent of any Lender or any holder of a pass-through or similar certificate issued by a Lender (herein, collectively, "Indemnified Parties") with respect to, and shall pay, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against, any and all liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), causes of action, suits, claims, demands or judgments of any nature whatsoever, however caused, (a) to which any Indemnified Party is subject
Exhibit 10.5
because of Tenant's activities in the Premises or the Access Areas or in any other real property, easements, track or roadbed used by Tenant adjacent to or in the vicinity of the Premises or the Access Areas, or (b) arising from (i) injury to or death of any person or persons or damage to or loss of property, real or personal, in any manner arising therefrom, occurring on the Premises or on the Access Areas or from Tenant's activities in the Premises or the Access Areas or connected with the use, non-use, condition, occupancy, design, construction, maintenance, repair or rebuilding of any thereof, whether or not such Indemnified Party has or should have knowledge or notice of the defect or conditions, if any, causing or contributing to said injury, death, loss, damage or other claim, (ii) Tenant's violation of this Lease, (iii) any act or omission of Tenant or its agents, contractors, licensees, subtenants or invitees, and (iv) any contest referred to in Section 32(b); provided, that Tenant shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Indemnified Party for any such matters arising due to the sole negligence of an Indemnified Party in circumstances where there is no contributing negligence by Tenant or its agents, contractors, licensees, subtenants or invitees, or gross negligence or the willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. Tenant covenants upon notice from such Indemnified Party to defend such Indemnified Party in such action, with the expenses of such defense paid by Tenant; provided, that in connection with Tenant's obligations to provide a defense of the Indemnified Parties hereunder, Tenant shall be entitled to use the same counsel to defend such Indemnified Parties so long as defense of multiple parties is reasonable under the circumstances and so long as such common defense does not limit any reasonable claims or defenses which could be raised by any such Indemnified Parties. The obligations of Tenant under this Section 29 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Lease with respect only to liabilities accruing or related to incidents, acts, omissions or circumstances occurring prior to termination or expiration of this Lease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties ' rights and obligations with respect to matters set forth in Section 40 regarding Hazardous Materials shall be governed by Section 40 rather than this Section 29.

32. | TAXES. |
(a)Subject to the provisions hereof relating to contests, Tenant shall pay and discharge, before any interest or penalties are due thereon, all of the following taxes, charges, assessments, levies and other items imposed by any governmental authority (collectively, "Tax" or "Taxes"), even if unforeseen or extraordinary, which are imposed, assessed, or become due on or subsequent to the Commencement Date during the Term, regardless of whether payment thereof is due prior to, during or after the Term: all Taxes of every kind and nature (including, without limitation, real, ad valorem and personal property), on or with respect to the Premises, the Fixed Rent or Additional Rent payable hereunder, this Lease or the leasehold estate created hereby; all charges and/or assessments for any easement or agreement maintained for the benefit of the Premises; and all general and special assessments, levies, water and sewer assessments and other utility charges, use charges and rents and all other public charges and/or Taxes whether of a like or different nature. Landlord shall promptly deliver to Tenant any xxxx or invoice Landlord receives with respect to any Tax; and Landlord's failure to deliver any such xxxx or invoice shall defer Tenant's obligation to pay such Tax until thirty (30) days from Tenant's receipt of written notice thereof. Landlord agrees to cooperate with Tenant to enable Tenant to receive tax bills directly from the respective taxing authorities. Nothing herein shall obligate Tenant to pay, and the term "Taxes" shall exclude (unless the Taxes referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) below are in lieu of or a substitute for any other Tax or assessment upon or with respect to any of the Premises which, if such other Tax or assessment were in effect on the date hereof, would be payable by Tenant hereunder or by Law), federal, state, local or foreign (i) franchise tax (including, without limitation, Texas franchise taxes), or capital stock or similar Taxes, if any, of Landlord, (ii) income, excess profits or other Taxes, if any, of Landlord, determined on the basis of or measured by Landlord's net income, (iii) any estate, inheritance, succession, gift, capital levy or similar Taxes of Landlord, (iv) Taxes imposed upon Landlord under Section 59A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any similar state, local, foreign or successor provision , (v) any amounts paid by Landlord pursuant to the Federal Insurance Contribution Act (commonly referred to as FICA), the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (commonly referred to as FUTA), or any analogous state unemployment tax act, or any other payroll related Taxes, including, but not limited to, any required withholdings relating to wages, (vi) any Taxes in connection with the transfer or other disposition of any interest (including, without limitation, any Taxes arising out of a change of control of Landlord or any other Person (other than Tenant and holder of any direct or indirect interest in Tenant) holding an interest in the Premises), other than Tenant's (or any person claiming under Tenant), in the Premises or this Lease, to any person or entity, including, but not limited to, any transfer, capital gains, sales, gross receipts , value added, income, stamp, real property gains or withholding Tax, and (vii) any interest, penalties, professional fees or other charges relating to any item listed in clauses (i) through (vi) above; provided, further, that Tenant is not responsible for making any additional payments in excess of amounts which would have otherwise
Exhibit 10.5
been due, as Tax or otherwise, but for a withholding requirement which relates to the particular payment and such withholding is in respect to or in lieu of a Tax which Tenant is not obligated to pay; and provided, further, that if at any time during the Term of this Lease, the method of taxation shall be such that there shall be assessed, levied, charged or imposed on Landlord a Tax upon the value of the Premises or any present or future improvement or improvements on the Premises, including any Tax which uses rents received from Tenant as a means to derive value of the property subject to such Tax, then all such levies and Taxes or the part thereof so measured or based shall be payable by Tenant, but only to the extent that such levies or Taxes would be payable if the Premises were the only property of Landlord, and Tenant shall pay and discharge the same as herein provided. In the event that any assessment against the Premises is payable in installments, Tenant may pay such assessment in installments; and in such event, Tenant shall be liable only for those installments which become due and payable prior to or during the Term, or which are appropriately allocated to the Term even if due and payable after the Term. Tenant shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Landlord and Lender, if applicable, promptly upon Landlord's written request, evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and Lender, if applicable, that the Taxes required to be paid pursuant to this Section 32 have been so paid and are not then delinquent.
(b) | Tax Contests |
(i)If a written claim is made against Landlord for Taxes with respect to which Tenant may be liable, Landlord shall promptly give Tenant notice in writing of such claim and shall furnish Tenant with a copy of the claim received from the taxing authority.
(ii)After prior written notice to Landlord, at Tenant's sole cost, Tenant may contest (including seeking an abatement or reduction of) in good faith any Taxes with respect to which Tenant may be liable hereunder; provided, that (i) Tenant first shall satisfy any Laws, including, if required, that the Taxes be paid in full before being contested, (ii) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (iii) failing to pay such Taxes will not subject Landlord to criminal or civil penalties or fines or to prosecution for a crime, or result in the sale, forfeiture or loss of any portion of the Premises, the Fixed Rent or any Additional Rent.

In the event Tenant elects to structure the applicable transaction as a 1031 Exchange, Tenant may assign its rights (but not its obligations) to acquire the Premises to a "qualified intermediary" or an "exchange accommodation titleholder" (within the meaning of the United States Treasury Regulations and related authority) and the assignment of the related purchase and sale agreement by Tenant to any such "qualified intermediary" or "exchange accommodation titleholder", and, subject to the limitations set forth herein, Tenant may also assign the related purchase and sale agreement to such "qualified intermediary" in "exchange accommodation titleholder" and Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant in connection with such 1031 Exchange. In such event, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a notice of such assignment and Landlord agrees to execute an acknowledgement of receipt of such notice. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord's agreement to reasonably cooperate with a 1031 Exchange is for the benefit of Tenant and shall be at no cost, expense or liability to Landlord and shall not reduce or modify in any respect any of Landlord 's rights (or Tenant's obligations) under this Lease or the related purchase and sale agreement. Landlord's execution of any documents (which documents, in each case, shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Landlord and its legal counsel) as are reasonably necessary in connection with a 1031 Exchange shall be at Tenant's sole expense, and in no event shall Landlord undertake any liability or obligation pursuant to such documents, nor shall any such documents purport to extend or modify any agreed upon closing date. As part of a 1031 Exchange, Landlord shall not be obligated to acquire or convey any property (other than the Premises) in connection with such 1031 Exchange. Tenant shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Landlord from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, liabilities, losses, costs, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses and court costs incurred in defending any such claim or in enforcing this indemnity) that may be incurred by Landlord in connection with any 1031 Exchange. Upon Tenant's failure to effect any 1031 Exchange in accordance with this Section 46 for any reason, then the purchase by Tenant of the Premises shall be consummated in accordance with terms and conditions of the related purchase and sale agreement, and Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord from any costs and expenses incurred in connection with such 1031 Exchange. Nothing contained in this Section 46 shall be deemed to release Tenant in any way from any of its obligations or liabilities under this Lease or any related purchase and sale agreement with respect to the Premises, nor shall anything contained in this Section 46 be deemed to impose any liability or obligation on Landlord with respect to any 1031 Exchange.

B.

C. Tenant has agreed that the Lease shall be subject and subordinate to the Loan and Loan Documents, provided that Landlord shall continue to remain liable for its obligations under the Lease to the extent provided therein and Tenant is assured of continued occupancy of the Premises under the terms of the Lease subject to and in accordance with the terms hereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the sum of Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable considerations, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, it is hereby agreed as follows:
1.Subordination and Consent. Lender, Tenant and Landlord do hereby covenant and agree that the Lease with
Exhibit 10.5
all rights, options, liens and charges created thereby (including, without limitation, any option or rights contained in the Lease, or otherwise existing, to acquire any or all of the Premises or any superior leasehold interest therein), is and shall continue to be subject and subordinate in all respects to the lien and terms of the Loan Documents, and to any renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof and to all advancements made thereunder. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord will execute and deliver to Lender an assignment of the Lease as security for the Loan, and Tenant hereby expressly consents to such assignment, subject to the terms hereof.

Tenant and Landlord agree that upon Lender's written request for payment of Fixed Rent directly to Lender, Tenant will timely remit any and all Fixed Rent due under the Lease directly to, and payable to the order of, Lender. Such payments to Lender will constitute performance of Tenants payment obligations under the Lease.
2.Non-Disturbance. Lender does hereby agree with Tenant that, in the event Lender succeeds to Landlord's interest in the Premises by foreclosure, conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, so long as Tenant is not in default under the Lease beyond any applicable cure period, (a) the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct Lease between Lender and Tenant, upon and subject to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease (including, without limitations, Tenant's rights of first offer and rights of first refusal set forth in Sections 44 and 45 of the Lease), for the balance of the term of the Lease, and Lender shall not disturb the possession of Tenant, and (b) the Premises shall be subject to the Lease and Lender shall recognize Tenant as the tenant of the Premises for the remainder of the term of the Lease in accordance with the provisions thereof; provided, however, that Lender shall not be:
i.subject to any claims, offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against any prior landlord (including Landlord) unless Lender has received notice of the same and the condition or circumstance giving rise to any such claim, offset or defense under the Lease continues following the date on which Lender succeeds to the rights of Landlord in which event, Tenant shall have such rights, if any, against Lender only for the period of time subsequent to the date upon which Lender succeeds to the rights of Landlord;
ii.liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including Landlord) unless Lender has received notice of the same and such act or omission under the Lease continues following the date on which Lender succeeds to the rights of Landlord in which event, Tenant shall have such rights, if any, against Lender only for the period of time subsequent to the date upon which Lender succeeds to the rights of Landlord;
iii. liable to cure any default by any prior landlord (including Landlord) unless Lender has received notice of the same and such default under the Lease continues following the date on which Lender succeeds to the rights of Landlord, in which event, Tenant shall have such rights, if any, against Lender only for the period of time subsequent to the date upon which Lender succeeds to the rights of Landlord;
iv. bound by any rent or additional rent which Tenant might have paid more than one month in advance or any security deposit or other prepaid charge paid to any prior landlord (including Landlord) unless transferred to Lender;
v. bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease made without its written consent; or
vi. liable for any deposit that Tenant may have given to any previous landlord (including Landlord) which has not, as such, been transferred to Lender.
Nothing contained herein shall (a) prevent Lender from naming Tenant in any foreclosure or other action or proceeding initiated by Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, but only to the extent necessary under applicable law in order for Lender to avail itself of and complete the foreclosure or other remedy, or (b) constitute a release by Tenant of any claims Tenant may have against any prior Landlord, subject, however, to the limitation on Landlord's liability contained in the Lease.
3.Attornment. Tenant does hereby agree with Lender that, in the event Lender becomes the owner of the Property by foreclosure, conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, then (a) Tenant shall attom to and recognize Lender as the landlord under the Lease for the remainder of the term thereof, and Tenant shall perform and observe its obligations thereunder, subject only to the terms and conditions of the Lease, and (b) subject to Section 2 and Section 7 hereof, Lender shall thereafter be responsible for the performance of the obligations of the Landlord under the Lease arising from and after the date it becomes owner of the Property. If required by applicable law, Tenant further covenants and agrees to execute and deliver upon request of Lender an appropriate agreement of attomment to Lender and any subsequent titleholder of the Premises provided the terms
Exhibit 10.5
and conditions of the Lease shall in no way be modified.
4.Lease Defaults. In the event Landlord shall fail to perform or observe any of the terms, conditions or agreements in the Lease, Tenant shall give written notice thereof to Lender and Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation) to cure such default. Tenant shall not take any action to terminate, rescind or avoid the Lease or to withhold any rent or other monetary obligations thereunder, for a period of thirty (30) days following receipt of such written notice by Lender; provided, however, that in the case of any default which cannot with diligence be cured within said thirty (30) day period, if Lender shall proceed promptly to cure such default and thereafter prosecute the curing of such default with diligence and continuity (including without limitation commencing foreclosure proceedings if necessary to effect the cure), the time within which such default may be cured shall be extended for such period as may be reasonably necessary, not to exceed an additional one-hundred fifty (150) days (or as may be commercially reasonable if possession of the Premises is required to effectuate such cure and Lender is diligently prosecuting foreclosure proceedings), to complete the curing of such default with diligence and continuity.

Furthermore, in the event that Lender shall acquire Landlord's interest in the Premises, Lender shall have no obligation, nor incur any liability, other than as provided in Section 34 of the Lease. Lender shall not, either by virtue of the Loan Documents or this Agreement, be or become a mortgagee in possession or be or become subject to any liability or obligation under the Lease or otherwise until Lender shall have acquired the Landlord's interest in the Premises and then such liability or obligation of Lender under the Lease shall extend only to those liabilities or obligations continuing on, or arising on or after, the date the Lender has acquired the Landlord's interest in the Premises. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Loan Documents nor this Agreement shall, prior to Lender's acquisition of Landlord's interest in the Premises, operate to place responsibility for the control, care, management or repair of the Premises upon Lender or impose upon Lender responsibility for the carrying out of any of the terms or conditions of the Lease, and Lender shall not be responsible or liable for any waste committed on either the Premises or the Premises by any party whatsoever, for any dangerous or defective condition of the Premises or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Premises.
