(b) Advance. On each Advance Date, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VI, the Participants shall, as and to the extent provided herein, Fund the Advance by wire transfer directly to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Lessor elects, following an Event of Default, to cause the performance and completion of the Site Obligations, including the Construction of the Facility, then Lessor may submit Advance Requests, and the aggregate amount available to be Funded by the Participants shall equal the aggregate amount of the Available Commitments (without regard to the limitations in Section 3.3(a)(v), but in all cases subject to the limitations and limits set forth in the last sentence of Section 3.1(a)), and such amounts shall be disbursed directly to Lessor or its designee for the payment of Project Costs.

Section 3.4. Capitalization of Certain Amounts. (a) During the Commitment Period, on each date which is four (4) Business Days prior to any Payment Date, Lessee shall request, or if Lessee fails to request, Lessee shall be deemed to have requested, an Advance in an amount equal to Capitalized Yield, Capitalized Fees and Capitalized Contingent Rent accrued on or with respect to the Rent Assignment Contributions and Lessor Amount and Available Commitments, during the immediately preceding Interest Period ending on such Payment Date and any Capitalized Contingent Rent then due and payable. The Advance Date with respect to each such Advance for such Capitalized Yield, Capitalized Fees and Capitalized Contingent Rent shall be the relevant Payment

-7-

Date (subject to the terms and conditions for an Advance set forth in this Participation Agreement), and the proceeds of such Advance shall be applied to pay such Capitalized Yield, Capitalized Fees and Capitalized Contingent Rent. On each Advance Date on which each such Advance is being made, the Project Costs Funded by the Participants shall be increased by an amount equal to the Capitalized Yield, Capitalized Fees and Capitalized Contingent Rent so Funded; provided, however, that if an Advance hereunder would exceed the limitations and limits set forth in the first sentence of Section 3.1(d), the Participants shall not have any obligation to make such Advance.

(b) If any Participant elects to capitalize the amount of any Claims relating to a Nonrelated Project Event or any loss or liability resulting from a Casualty or Condemnation occurring during the Commitment Period, any such amount shall be capitalized by automatically treating such amount as an Advance (funded by such Participant) and shall correspondingly increase the Participant Balance of such Participant and the Lease Balance. The Administrative Agent shall notify Lessee and each Participant of each amount so capitalized and treated as an Advance (and the related increase in the applicable Participant Balance and Lease Balance therein) under this Section 3.4 within fifteen (15) days after each such Advance.

Section 3.5. Non‑Funding Rent Assignee’s Portion. (a) In the event that any Rent Assignee fails to make available to the Administrative Agent on the applicable Advance Date after all conditions to such Advance have been satisfied an amount equal to such Rent Assignee’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of the Advance required by the terms hereof to be funded by such Rent Assignee on such Advance Date (a “Defaulting Rent Assignee”), or the Administrative Agent determines that a Rent Assignee will become a Defaulting Rent Assignee on the applicable Advance Date, the Administrative Agent shall cease to pay such Defaulting Rent Assignee any Commitment Fee for as long as such Rent Assignee remains a Defaulting Rent Assignee and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Lessee thereof and Lessee shall have the following options: (x) except in respect of any Advance pursuant to Section 3.4 and without in any way waiving the occurrence of any Payment Default, Lessee may elect to postpone the Funding of the portion of the Advance to be provided by the Defaulting Rent Assignee (provided, however, that such postponement shall in no event relieve Lessee of its obligation to pay as Contingent Rent any Break Costs suffered or incurred by any Participant (other than to the extent of an amount equal to any payment thereof to the Defaulting Rent Assignee) as and to the extent required by and pursuant to Article XIV), or (y) Lessee may elect to have the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 3.5 be applicable. In either event, Lessee or the Administrative Agent may elect to have the Defaulting Rent Assignee replaced with a new Rent Assignee acceptable to Lessee, and the Administrative Agent and the Defaulting Rent Assignee shall cooperate (at no cost to Lessee) in replacing such Defaulting Rent Assignee with a replacement Rent Assignee in accordance with Section 12.1(a). The Administrative Agent’s right to replace the Defaulting Rent Assignee shall be subordinate to such right of Lessee; and if Lessee does not elect to replace the Defaulting Rent Assignee with a new Rent Assignee by delivery of written notice to the Administrative Agent within fifteen (15) days after the Advance Date on which the Defaulting Rent Assignee fails to fund its Rent Assignee’s Commitment Percentage of the requested Advance, or if Lessee timely elects to do so, but for only a portion of the Defaulting Rent Assignee’s Commitment, and the Non‑Defaulting Rent Assignees do not elect to increase their Commitments to cover the uncommitted portion of the Defaulting Rent

-8-

Assignee’s Commitment, then the Administrative Agent shall have the right to replace the Defaulting Rent Assignee.

(b) At Lessee’s or, subject to the provisions of Section 3.5, the Administrative Agent’s option, the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly notify each other Rent Assignee that is not a Defaulting Rent Assignee (each, a “Non‑Defaulting Rent Assignee”), (ii) specify the then Available Commitment (as used in this Section 3.5(b), the “Defaulted Rent Assignee Commitment Amount”) of each Defaulting Rent Assignee less, if applicable, the Commitment(s) of the replacement Rent Assignee(s) (such difference, the “Commitment Shortfall”), and (iii) offer to all Non‑Defaulting Rent Assignees the opportunity to increase their respective Commitments by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of notice in clause (i) above. If the Non‑Defaulting Rent Assignees offer to increase their Commitments in an amount in the aggregate which is not less than the Commitment Shortfall, the Administrative Agent shall increase the Commitments of the participating Non‑Defaulting Rent Assignees on a pro‑rata basis in accordance with the respective amounts by which such Non‑Defaulting Rent Assignees have offered to participate, it being understood that in no event shall the aggregate amount funded by any Rent Assignee exceed the amount of such Rent Assignee’s Commitment, after giving effect to any increase in such Commitment pursuant to this sentence.

As soon as practical after receipt of notices from Non‑Defaulting Rent Assignees electing to participate in the Defaulted Rent Assignee Commitment Amount in an amount equal to or greater than the Defaulted Rent Assignee Commitment Amount, the Administrative Agent shall notify each participating Rent Assignee of its revised Rent Assignment Commitment, Lessee may resubmit such Advance Request and each Rent Assignee shall Fund to the Administrative Agent in the manner set forth in Section 3.1 in accordance with its revised Commitment Percentage. Following a revision of the Rent Assignment Commitments as described above, a Defaulting Rent Assignee shall not have the right to Fund its Defaulted Rent Assignee Commitment Amount. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein or in any other Operative Document to the contrary, the Defaulting Rent Assignee shall forfeit the Upfront Fee previously paid to such Rent Assignee (which shall be withheld by the Administrative Agent from any payments due to the Defaulting Rent Assignee, and shall be, to the extent received by the Administrative Agent, (i) reimbursed by the Administrative Agent to Lessee to cover the cost of any Upfront Fee payable to a replacement Rent Assignee, and (ii) paid to the Non‑Defaulting Rent Assignees on a pro‑rata basis in accordance with the percentage their increased Commitment bears to the Defaulting Rent Assignee’s Commitment), and the right of a Defaulting Rent Assignee to receive any payments made in connection with a Rent Assignment Contribution or otherwise in accordance with the Operative Documents shall be subordinate in all respects to the obligation of the Administrative Agent to withhold the Defaulting Rent Assignee’s Upfront Fee from such payments and the right of all other Rent Assignees to receive payments of amounts in connection with such Rent Assignment Contributions or otherwise in accordance with the Operative Documents, and no such payments shall be made to any Defaulting Rent Assignee until each other Rent Assignee and Lessor shall have received all such sums then due to it.

Unless either (i) the Non‑Defaulting Rent Assignees offer to increase their Rent Assignment Commitments in an amount equal to or greater than the Defaulted Rent Assignee Commitment Amount or (ii) the Defaulting Rent Assignee’s Commitment is replaced pursuant to Section 3.5(a),

-9-

such that the aggregate Available Commitments of the Non‑Defaulting Rent Assignees and, if applicable, the replacement Rent Assignees are equal to the remaining aggregate, unfunded Rent Assignment Commitments of the Rent Assignees prior to the occurrence of the events described in clauses (i) or (ii) of this paragraph, no Rent Assignee shall be obligated to make any Rent Assignment Contributions.

(c) The parties hereto agree that, subject to the assignment provisions of this Participation Agreement and the Rent Assignment Agreement, upon any replacement of any Defaulting Rent Assignee with a replacement Rent Assignee, and/or reapportionment of such Defaulting Rent Assignee’s Commitment among the Non‑Defaulting Rent Assignees pursuant to Section 3.5(a) or (b), as applicable, such Defaulting Rent Assignee or its Commitment shall be automatically replaced or altered accordingly, without any further action or requirement by or of any Person, such that at all times the Rent Assignees shall have proportionate Commitments under the Rent Assignment Agreement.

(d) Lessee shall have the right to exercise any remedies available at law or in equity (including the recovery of monetary damages) against any Defaulting Rent Assignee in Lessee’s own name. Each Participant acknowledges that Lessee will be relying on the commitments of the Participants to make Advances required by this Participation Agreement.

Section 3.6. Project Collateral Arrangements. On the Document Closing Date, Lessee will execute and deliver an Assignment of Project Agreement for each Major Project Agreement, pursuant to which Lessee will assign to Lessor all of Lessee’s rights and obligations under each such Major Project Agreement.

ARTICLE IV
YIELD

Section 4.1. Yield. The Lessor Amount shall accrue Yield at the Series B Yield Rate, calculated on the basis of a 360‑day year using the actual number of days elapsed and, when the Series B Yield Rate is based on an Alternate Base Rate, a 365 (or, if applicable, 366) day year basis, and, at all other times, a 360‑day year basis. If the Lessor Amount, any Yield payable thereon or any other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at stated maturity, acceleration thereof or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is equal to the Overdue Rate.

Section 4.2. Yield on Rent Assignment Contribution. Each Rent Assignment Contribution shall accrue Yield computed and payable in accordance with the terms of the Rent Assignment Agreement.

Section 4.3. Payments of Rent; and Payments and Prepayments of Advances. (a) Lessor hereby directs Lessee to pay to the Administrative Agent, pursuant to the terms of the Lease, the Rent from time to time payable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Operative Document, except as provided for in the proviso at the end of this sentence and excluding amounts payable by other Persons which Lessee is required to pay over to Lessor, the Administrative Agent or any Participant (i) Yield, Fees and Contingent Rent due and fees payable prior to the Base

-10-

Term Commencement Date and (ii) any other Supplemental Rent payable prior to the Base Term Commencement Date shall be payable solely from Advances pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 3.1 to the extent of the Available Commitments; provided, however, that all payments or other amounts (i) required to be made by Lessee prior to the Base Term Commencement Date pursuant to Article XIII or (ii) subject to Section 5.4 of the Construction Agency Agreement, if applicable, payable by Construction Agent pursuant to Section 3.2(c), 3.4 or Article V of the Construction Agency Agreement, shall be the direct recourse obligations of Lessee and shall not be payable with Advances. Additionally, any amounts which would have otherwise been payable by Lessee under Article XIII but for the provisions of Section 13.1(b)(iv), clause (xi) of the definition of Impositions, the parenthetical in the first sentence of Section 13.4(e)(ii), or clause (iii) of the last paragraph of Section 13.7, shall be payable with Advances and Lessee shall promptly make an Advance Request for such amounts. To assist the Lessee in paying Basic Rent, the Administrative Agent will provide the Lessee at least six (6) Business Days prior to the Payment Date with a calculation of Basic Rent for any period, including sufficient detail about calculation of items (such as rates) used in such calculations for Lessee to confirm that such calculations are correct

(b) In the event that Lessee pays the Lease Balance to Lessor in connection with Lessee’s purchase of the Leased Property in accordance with Section 15.1, 16.2(e), 18.1, or Article XIX of the Lease, Lessor will prepay the Rent Assignment Contribution Balance and the Lessor Balance. Each Participant hereby acknowledges that its Rent Assignment Contributions or Lessor Amount, as the case may be, may be so prepaid without any prepayment premium or charge (other than Break Costs, if any).

Section 4.4. Fees. (a) Subject to Section 4.3(a), Lessee agrees to pay the fees set forth in this Section 4.4 (collectively, the “Fees”).

(b) Commitment Fees. Lessee agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Participants a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fees”) for the benefit of (i) each of the Non‑Defaulting Rent Assignees at the applicable Commitment Fee Rate on such Non‑Defaulting Rent Assignee’s daily unused Rent Assignment Commitment and (ii) Lessor at the applicable Commitment Fee Rate on Lessor’s daily unused Lessor Commitment, determined as of the last Business Day of each calendar quarter during the Commitment Period or, with respect to the final period, the last day of the Commitment Period;

The Administrative Agent shall provide to Lessee from time to time not less than six (6) Business Days prior to the due date(s) for each Commitment Fee, a written statement of the amount of the Commitment Fee then due, the due date therefor and the calculation thereof; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent’s failure to give such notice shall not relieve Lessee of its obligation to pay when due all Commitment Fees. During the Commitment Period, all Commitment Fees may be payable through Advances subject to the conditions and limitations at Articles III and IV. The Commitment Fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears (on a date which is otherwise a Payment Date or the last day of the Commitment Period, as applicable), shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days occurring during each calendar quarter, or portion thereof, ending on the last day of the calendar quarter immediately preceding such Payment Date (with the initial period for the Commitment Fees being the period from and including the Document Closing Date

-11-

to and including the last day of the calendar quarter in which the Document Closing Date occurs or the last day of the Commitment Period, as applicable) for which such Commitment Fees are payable over a year of 360 days and shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to those Participants entitled thereto in accordance with their respective interests therein.

(c) Other Fees. Lessee also agrees to pay (x) to each Participant, the Upfront Fee, (y) to the Arranger, for its own account, the Fees set forth in the Arranger Fee Letter, and (z) to the Administrative Agent, the Fees set forth in the Administrative Agent Fee Letter. The fees payable pursuant to this subsection 4.4(c) shall be payable in the amounts and on the dates set forth herein or therein, as applicable.

Section 4.5. Obligations Several. The obligations of the Participants hereunder or elsewhere in the Operative Documents shall be several and not joint; and no Participant shall be liable or responsible for the acts or defaults of any other party hereunder or under any other Operative Document.

Section 4.6. Highest Lawful Rate. It is the intention of the parties hereto to conform strictly to applicable usury laws and, anything herein or in any other Operative Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of (x) Lessee to Lessor under this Participation Agreement, the Lease and the other Operative Documents, (y) Lessor to the Rent Assignees under the Rent Assignment Agreement and (z) either Lessee or Lessor or any other party under any other Operative Document shall, in each case, be subject to the limitation that payments of interest or of other amounts constituting interest under Applicable Laws shall not be required to the extent that receipt thereof would be in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, or otherwise contrary to provisions of law applicable to the recipient limiting rates of interest which may be charged or collected by the recipient. Accordingly, if the transactions or the amount paid or otherwise agreed to be paid for the use, forbearance or detention of money under this Participation Agreement, the Lease, the Rent Assignment Agreement, the Rent Assignment Contributions, the Lessor Amount or any other Operative Document would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate or otherwise be usurious under Applicable Laws (including without limitation the federal and state laws of the United States of America, or of any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable) with respect to the recipient of any such amount, then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Participation Agreement, the Lease, the Rent Assignment Agreement or any other Operative Document, it is agreed as follows as to the recipient of any such amount:

(a) the provisions of this Section 4.6 shall govern and control over any other provision in this Participation Agreement, the Lease, the Rent Assignment Agreement, the Rent Assignment Contributions, the Lessor Amount and each other Operative Document, and each provision set forth herein and therein is hereby so limited;

(b) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under Applicable Laws that is contracted for, charged or received under this Participation Agreement, the Lease, the Rent Assignment Agreement or any other Operative Document shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by Applicable Laws (such maximum lawful interest rate, if any, with respect to such recipient herein called the “Highest

-12-

Lawful Rate”), and all amounts owed under this Participation Agreement, the Lease, the Rent Assignment Agreement and any other Operative Document shall be held subject to reduction and: (i) the amount of interest which would otherwise be payable to the recipient hereunder and under this Participation Agreement, the Lease, the Rent Assignment Agreement or any other Operative Document shall be automatically reduced to the amount allowed under Applicable Laws, and (ii) any unearned interest paid in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate shall be credited to the payor by the recipient (or, if such consideration shall have been paid in full, refunded to the payor);

(c) all sums paid, or agreed to be paid for the use, forbearance and detention of the money under this Participation Agreement, the Lease, the Rent Assignment Agreement or any other Operative Document shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such indebtedness until payment in full so that the actual rate of interest is uniform throughout the full term thereof; and

(d) if at any time the interest, together with any other fees, late charges and other sums payable pursuant to or in connection with this Participation Agreement, the Lease, the Rent Assignment Agreement and any other Operative Document executed in connection herewith or therewith and deemed interest under Applicable Laws, exceeds that amount which would have accrued at the Highest Lawful Rate, the amount of interest and any such fees, charges and sums to accrue to the recipient of such interest, fees, charges and sums pursuant to the Operative Documents shall be limited, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Operative Documents, to that amount which would have accrued at the Highest Lawful Rate for the recipient, but any subsequent reductions, as applicable, shall not reduce the interest to accrue pursuant to the Operative Documents below the recipient’s Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest payable to the recipient (including all consideration which constitutes interest) equals the amount of interest which would have been payable to the recipient (including all consideration which constitutes interest), plus the amount of fees which would have been received but for the effect of this Section 4.6.

Section 4.7. Renewal of Lease. (a) Lessee may request in writing (the “Renewal Option Request”) to the Administrative Agent, Lessor and each Participant pursuant to the Lease to renew the Term (the “Lease Renewal”) for one additional five‑year period commencing on the last day of the Base Term ( a “Lease Renewal Term”), and that the Maturity Date for the Rent Assignment Contributions and the Lessor Amount be correspondingly extended to the extended Expiration Date. Such Renewal Option Request must be delivered in writing to Lessor, the Administrative Agent and each Participant not later than one hundred eighty (180) days nor more than two hundred seventy (270) days prior to the expiration of the Base Term. Each Participant will notify the Administrative Agent in writing of whether or not it has consented to such Renewal Option Request not later than forty‑five (45) days after receipt of the Renewal Option Request (the “Renewal Option Response Date”). Any failure by any Participant to so notify the Administrative Agent by the Renewal Option Response Date will be deemed to be a non‑consent by such Participant. Each Participant’s determination with respect to the Renewal Option Request shall be a new credit determination and within such Participant’s sole and absolute discretion and may be conditioned upon such terms and

-13-

conditions as shall be deemed appropriate by such Participant, including receipt of such financial information, documentation or other information or conditions as may be requested by such Participant and the receipt of a satisfactory appraisal of the Leased Property. Lessee shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of the Participants’ consent to the Renewal Option Request (such time period being referred to as the “Renewal Rescission Period”) to irrevocably rescind the Renewal Option Request and elect not to extend the Term (a “Renewal Rescission”). If Lessee exercises a Renewal Rescission, the Lease shall terminate on the last day of the Term and Lessee shall be deemed to have exercised the Purchase Option. Any failure by Lessee to exercise a Renewal Rescission during the Renewal Rescission Period shall be deemed a waiver of the right of Lessee to effectuate a Renewal Rescission and Lessee shall have been deemed to have accepted Participant’s consent to the Renewal Option Request and any terms and conditions set forth therein.

If consented to pursuant to the preceding paragraph, Lessee and the Participants shall proceed promptly to execute and deliver all such amendments and modifications to the Operative Documents as are necessary to set forth any terms and conditions relating to the Renewal Option not reflected in the Operative Documents and the renewal shall become effective as of the first date (the “Renewal Effective Date”) on or after the Renewal Option Response Date on which all of the Participants shall have consented to such Lease Renewal; provided that on both the date of the Renewal Option Request and the Renewal Effective Date (unless otherwise specified): (w) each of the representations and warranties made by Lessee in or pursuant to the Operative Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects as if made on and as of each such date (except to the extent any such representation or warranty specifically relates to an earlier date or which have been previously disclosed to and approved by Administrative Agent and the Participants), (x) Lessee shall not have elected the Purchase Option or Sale Option, (y) (i) as of the Renewal Option Request, no Event of Default shall be continuing and (ii) as of the Renewal Effective Date, no Default or Event of Default shall be continuing, and (z) Lessor shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer of Lessee as to the matters set forth in clauses (w), (x) and (y) (if applicable) above and, without duplication, the conditions set forth in Section 19.3 of the Lease shall have been satisfied as of the dates required therein.

(b) Following the Renewal Effective Date, Lessee’s election of the Lease Renewal Term shall be undertaken pursuant to, and shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in, Section 19.1(a) of the Lease.

ARTICLE V
CERTAIN INTENTIONS OF THE PARTIES

Section 5.1. Nature of Transaction. It is the intention of the parties that:

(a) the Overall Transaction constitutes an operating lease from Lessor to Lessee for purposes of Lessee’s financial reporting, including, without limitation, under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC 842);

(b) for all other purposes, including federal and all state and local income and transfer taxes, bankruptcy, insolvency, conservatorships and receiverships (including the

-14-

substantive law upon which bankruptcy, conservatorship and insolvency and receivership proceedings are based), real estate and commercial law and UCC purposes:

(i) the Overall Transaction (including, without limitation, the transactions and activities prior to the Base Term Commencement Date referred to or contemplated by the Construction Agency Agreement) constitutes a secured lending transaction by the Participants to Lessee and preserves beneficial ownership in the Leased Property in Lessee, Lessor holds only legal title to the Leased Property within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. Section 541(d), Lessee will be entitled to all tax benefits (including depreciation) ordinarily available to owners of property similar to the Leased Property for tax purposes, the obligations of Lessee to pay Basic Rent shall be treated as payments of interest to the Participants, the payment by Lessee of any amounts in respect of the Lease Balance shall be treated as payments of principal to the Participants and, in the event Lessee purchases the Leased Property pursuant to the terms of the Lease or the Construction Agency Agreement and pays in full the Lease Balance and all other amounts outstanding under the Operative Documents, legal title to the Leased Property shall automatically vest in Lessee; and

(ii) in order to secure the obligations of Lessee now existing or hereafter arising under the Lease or any of the other Operative Documents, the Lease, together with the other Security Instruments, creates a security interest or a lien, as the case may be, in the Leased Property and the other Collateral in favor of the Administrative Agent, and for the benefit of the Participants, to secure Lessee’s payment and performance of the Obligations; and

(iii) the Security Instruments create Liens on and security interests in the Leased Property and the other Collateral, granted by Lessor or Lessee, as applicable, in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of all of the Participants to secure Lessor’s and Lessee’s payment and performance of their respective obligations under the Lease, the Rent Assignment Agreement and other applicable Operative Documents.

Nevertheless, without limiting the foregoing agreement, Lessee acknowledges and agrees that none of the Participants, the Administrative Agent or the Arranger has made any representations or warranties concerning the tax, accounting or legal characteristics of the Operative Documents or any aspect of the Overall Transaction and that Lessee has obtained and relied upon such tax, accounting and legal advice concerning the Operative Documents and the Overall Transaction as it deems appropriate.

(c) Specifically, without limiting the generality of clause (a), the parties hereto intend and agree that in the event of any insolvency, conservatorship or receivership proceedings or matters or a petition under the United States bankruptcy laws, or any other applicable insolvency, conservatorship or receivership laws or statute of the United States of America or any State or Commonwealth thereof affecting Lessee, Guarantor or any Participant or any collection actions, the transactions evidenced by the Operative Documents

-15-

(including, without limitation, the Lease) constitute a financing made directly to Lessee by the Participants, as unrelated third party lenders, and that Lessor holds a leasehold interest in the Site and good and marketable title to the Facility to secure Lessee’s obligations to repay such financing to the Participants and all other amounts due under any of the Operative Documents and that Lessee retains the beneficial ownership of the Leased Property.

Section 5.2. Amounts Due Under Lease. Anything else herein or elsewhere to the contrary notwithstanding, it is the intention of Lessee and the Participants that: (i) the amount and timing of installments of Basic Rent due and payable from time to time under the Lease shall be equal to the aggregate payments due and payable as Yield on the Rent Assignment Contributions and Yield on the Lessor Amount due on each Payment Date; (ii) if Lessee elects the Early Termination Option, the Purchase Option or becomes obligated or otherwise elects to purchase the Leased Property under the Lease, the Lease Balance, all accrued and unpaid Yield thereon, any Fees and all other obligations of Lessee owing to the Participants shall be paid in full by Lessee; (iii) if Lessee properly elects the Sale Option with respect to the Leased Property and subject to Articles XX and XXI of the Lease, Lessee shall only be required to pay to the Administrative Agent the proceeds of the sale of the Leased Property, the Sale Option Recourse Amount with respect to the Leased Property and any amounts due pursuant to Section 20.2 of the Lease (which aggregate amounts may be less than the unpaid principal of the Rent Assignment Contributions and Lessor Amount), together with all other amounts due and payable as Supplemental Rent, but subject to the right of the parties with respect to the Gross Proceeds as set forth at Section 5.3(d)(i); and (iv) upon an Event of Default resulting in an acceleration of Lessee’s obligations to purchase the Leased Property under the Lease, the amounts then due and payable by Lessee under the Lease on a recourse basis shall include all amounts necessary to pay in full the Lease Balance.

Section 5.3. Distribution. (a) Each payment of Basic Rent to the extent attributable to Yield (and any payment of interest on overdue installments of Basic Rent) and during the Commitment Period each Advance for Capitalized Yield received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Participants, in accordance with, and for application to, the amount of Yield then due on the Rent Assignment Contribution Amount and the Lessor Amount, as well as any overdue Yield due to each Rent Assignee or Lessor (to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws).

(b) Any payment received by the Administrative Agent as a result of:

(i) the purchase of the Leased Property pursuant to the provisions of the Lease (including, but not limited to, Section 18.1 and 19.1), or

(ii) the payment of the Lease Balance or Recourse Amount or Purchase Amount pursuant to the Lease or the Construction Agency Agreement,

shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to pay in full, on a pro rata basis, as applicable, the Participant Balance of each applicable Participant and the balance, if any, of such payment or amounts remaining after satisfaction of all Lessee’s liabilities under the respective Operative Documents shall be promptly distributed to, or as directed by, Lessee.

-16-

(c) The payment by Lessee of the Sale Option Recourse Amount to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 20.1(i) of the Lease upon Lessee’s exercise of the Sale Option shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent in the following amounts and order of priority:

first, on a pro rata basis based on their respective shares of the Rent Assignment Contribution Balance, to the Rent Assignees for application to pay in full the Rent Assignment Contribution Balance owing to them; and

second, to Lessor (and its designees) for application to pay in full the Lessor Balance; and

third the balance, if any, shall be promptly distributed to, or as directed by, Lessee.

(d) Any payments received by the Administrative Agent as Gross Proceeds from the sale of the Leased Property pursuant to Lessee’s exercise of the Sale Option pursuant to Article XX of the Lease or by Lessor as contemplated by Section 20.3 of the Lease or pursuant to Section 13.2 herein shall be distributed after deduction of the costs and expenses referred to in Section 20.1(i) of the Lease by the Administrative Agent in the funds so received in the following order of priority:

first, to the extent not previously deducted therefrom, in an amount equal to the reasonable sales costs, expenses and related taxes incurred by Lessor or the Administrative Agent in connection with any sale of the Leased Property to the party that incurred such amount;

second, on a pro rata basis based on their respective shares of the Rent Assignment Contribution Balance, to the Rent Assignees for application to pay in full the Rent Assignment Contribution Balance owing to them;

third, to Lessor (and its designees) for application to pay in full the Lessor Balance and all other amounts owing by Lessee under the Operative Documents; and

fourth, the balance, if any, of such payment or amounts shall be promptly distributed to, or as directed by, Lessee.

(e) All payments of Supplemental Rent received by the Administrative Agent (excluding any amounts payable pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 5.3) shall be distributed promptly by the Administrative Agent upon receipt thereof to the Persons entitled thereto pursuant to the Operative Documents.

(f) If, on any date, while an Event of Default is continuing, a payment is made of any amount (other than the Recourse Amount or Lease Balance), including proceeds from the sale of the Leased Property, then distributions of such amounts shall be made by the Administrative Agent in the following order of priority:

-17-

first, to the extent not previously deducted therefrom, in an amount not to exceed the reasonable sales costs, expenses and taxes incurred by Lessor or the Administrative Agent in connection with any sale of the Leased Property,

second, on a pro rata basis based on their respective shares of the Participant Balance, to the Participants for application to pay in full the Lease Balance owing to them; and

third, the balance, if any, of such payment or amounts shall be promptly distributed to, or as directed by, Lessee.

(g) (i) Any payment received by the Administrative Agent for which no provision as to the application thereof is made in the Operative Documents or elsewhere in this Section 5.3 shall be distributed in accordance with Section 5.3(f).

(ii) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.3(a), all payments received and amounts realized by the Administrative Agent under the Lease or otherwise with respect to the Leased Property, or any proceeds thereof, to the extent received or realized at any time after an indefeasible payment in full of the Participant Balances of all Participants and all other amounts due and owing to the Participants, shall be distributed forthwith by the Administrative Agent in the order of priority set forth in Section 5.3(f), except that such payment shall be distributed omitting clause “first” of such Section 5.3(f).

(iii) Any payment received by the Administrative Agent for which provision as to the application thereof is made in an Operative Document, but not elsewhere in this Section 5.3, shall be distributed forthwith by the Administrative Agent to the Person and for the purpose for which such payment was made in accordance with the terms of such Operative Document.

(h) Except to the extent clause (g) is applicable thereto, any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent as a result of a Casualty or Condemnation pursuant to the Lease or the Construction Agency Agreement shall be distributed as follows: (x) if a Termination Notice shall have been given, all amounts that are to be applied to the purchase price of the Leased Property in accordance with Section 15.1(b) of the Lease shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 5.3(b); and (y) all amounts payable to Lessee for the repair of damage caused by such Casualty or Condemnation in accordance with Section 14.1(a) of the Lease shall, except as otherwise provided in the Construction Agency Agreement or the Lease, as applicable, be distributed to, or as directed by, Lessee.

(i) To the extent any payment made to any Participant, personally, is insufficient to pay in full the Participant Balance of such Participant, then each such payment which is payable to a Rent Assignee shall first be applied to accrued Yield and then to principal outstanding on the Rent Assignment Contributions and each such payment which is payable to Lessor shall first be applied to accrued Yield and then to the Lessor Amount, as applicable.

(c) Acceptance of Provisions of Lease. The Participants and the Administrative Agent hereby acknowledge and accept the provisions of Sections 15.2 and 20.1 of the Lease.

(d) Depreciation. With respect to any taxable year or portion thereof, prior to the Expiration Date, no Participant shall claim any federal or state or local tax attributes or benefits (including depreciation) relating to the Leased Property or otherwise claim ownership of the Leased Property for federal, state or local tax purposes unless required to do so by an appropriate taxing authority or after a clearly applicable change in Applicable Laws or as a protective response to a proposed adjustment by a Governmental Authority; provided, however, that if an appropriate taxing authority shall require Lessor or any Participant to claim any such federal or state tax attributes or benefits or if it proposes to claim any such federal or state tax attributes or benefits as a protective response, such Person shall promptly notify Lessee thereof and shall permit Lessee to contest such requirement in a manner similar to the contest rights provided in, and subject to any applicable limitation to a contest contained in, Section 13.4(b).

(b) If any Recipient is not a U.S. Person, then the Recipient shall (i) furnish to Lessor, the Administrative Agent, Guarantor and Lessee in duplicate, for each taxable year of Recipient during the Term, a properly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W‑8 ECI, Internal Revenue Service Form W‑8 BEN-E or Internal Revenue Service Form W‑8 IMY, as applicable, together with any necessary attachments, and any additional form (or such other form) as is necessary to benefit from complete exemption from United States withholding taxes on all payments hereunder, (ii) provide to Lessor, the Administrative Agent, Guarantor and Lessee a new Internal Revenue Service Form W‑8 ECI, Internal Revenue Service Form W‑8 BEN-E or Internal Revenue Service Form W‑8 IMY, as applicable, together with any necessary attachments, and any such additional form (or such other form) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form duly executed and completed by such Recipient, and (iii) comply at all times with all applicable United States laws and regulations and all provisions of any applicable tax treaty with regard to such withholding tax exemption.

(c) If any payment made to a Recipient under any Operative Document would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Recipient shall deliver to the Lessee and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Lessee or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) as may be necessary for the Lessee and Administrative Agent to comply with their respective obligations, if any, under FATCA and to determine that such Recipient has complied with such Recipient’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

(d) By its acceptance of an assignment of or participation in the interests, in whole or in part, under this Participation Agreement or any other Project Agreement, each Recipient shall be deemed bound by the provisions set forth in this Article XII and to represent on the date it becomes a Recipient, that it is entitled to complete exemption from United States withholding taxes on all payments hereunder.

(e) Subject to Section 15.14 hereof, the Administrative Agent or any Participant may, in connection with any assignment, participation or proposed assignment or participation permitted pursuant to this Article XII, disclose to the Recipient or proposed Recipient any information relating to Lessee.

(f) Anything in this Article XII to the contrary notwithstanding, any Participant may, without the consent of Lessee, assign and pledge all or any portion of its interest in the Rent Assignment Contributions, this Participation Agreement or any other Project Agreement to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the F.R.S. Board.

(5) the breach or alleged breach by either Guarantor or Lessee of any representation or warranty made by it or deemed made by it in any Operative Document or any certificate delivered by it;

-48-

(6) assuming that no Participant uses “plan assets” (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with its Advances hereunder and/or performing its obligations under the Operative Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Operative Document, in respect of the application of Parts 4 and 5 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and any prohibited transaction described in Section 4975(c) of the Code;

(7) the retaining or employment of any broker, finder or financial advisor by Lessee to act on its behalf in connection with this Participation Agreement; or

(8) any other agreement entered into or assumed by Lessee or its Affiliate in connection with the Leased Property (including, in connection with each of the matters described in this Section 13.1 to which this indemnity shall apply, matters based on or arising from the negligence of any Participant Indemnitee or any General Indemnitee).

It is expressly understood and agreed that the indemnities provided for herein shall survive the expiration or termination of and shall be separate and independent from any remedy under the Lease or any other Operative Document.

(b) Exclusions from Indemnities. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article XIII, Lessee shall not be obligated to indemnify a General Indemnitee under Section 13.1 and Lessor shall not be required to indemnify a Participant Indemnitee under Section 13.1(a)(i)(B) for any Claim to the extent that such Claim is attributable to: (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee; (ii) the breach by such Indemnitee of its representations and warranties in Section 8.1 or 8.4, as the case may be, or the breach by such Indemnitee of its covenants as set forth in this Participation Agreement or in any other Operative Document to which such Indemnitee is a party; (iii) any Claim resulting from the imposition of any Lessor Lien which such Indemnitee is responsible for discharging under the Operative Documents; (iv) any Claim arising prior to the Base Term Commencement Date for which the indemnities at Section 13.1(a)(i) applies and to the extent such claim arises solely from a Nonrelated Project Event (other than claims or amounts relating to environmental conditions existing on the Document Closing Date or claims or amounts relating to a Full Recourse Event); (v) any Claim for the recovery of Project Costs to the extent such Claim arises solely as a result of any Event of Default prior to the Base Term Commencement Date, the recovery of such Project Costs to be governed by Article V of the Construction Agency Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) and, in the case of clause (y) below, clause (iv) shall be deemed to exclude or limit any (x) Claim that Lessor or any Participant Indemnitee may have under any Operative Document or Applicable Laws for damages from Lessee or Guarantor for breach by Lessee or Guarantor of its representations or warranties made or deemed made by it in any Operative Document or (y) any remedy under or right to damages pursuant to Article XVI of the Lease or Article V of the Construction Agency Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Construction Agent’s indemnification obligations under Article XIII to the extent but only to the extent relating to amounts due and owing regarding completion of construction of the Facility (other than third party liability claims or claims or amounts relating to environmental conditions existing on the Document Closing

-49-

Date or claims or amounts relating to a Full Recourse Event) are limited to the Recourse Amount. Additionally, this Section 13.1 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax Claim.

Section 13.2. Nonconformance. If (a) Lessee elects the Sale Option, an Event of Default is continuing, or Lessee returns the Leased Property to Lessor or the Administrative Agent and (b) after paying to Lessor, for the benefit of the Participants, any amounts then due under the Operative Documents (including the Sale Option Recourse Amount), the Lease Balance shall not have been reduced to zero, then Lessee shall promptly pay on the earlier of Expiration Date or the date which is thirty (30) days following the delivery of the appraisal described below, an amount (the “Nonconformance Amount”) not to exceed the shortfall which such appraisal indicates is the result of extraordinary wear and tear to or excessive usage of the Leased Property, whether or not permitted under the Lease. For purposes of making the determination provided for in this Section 13.2, Lessor shall cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent and Lessee within twenty (20) days of the occurrence of the event described in the first sentence of this Section 13.2 but in any event not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the consummation of a sale of the Leased Property, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, a report from an appraiser selected by the Required Participants and reasonably approved by Lessee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Participants and using approved methods satisfactory to the Required Participants, concerning the extent to which the fact that the actual Fair Market Value of the Leased Property as of the date of determination is less than the Fair Market Value anticipated for such date in the Appraisal is due to any of the factors enumerated in the preceding sentence hereof. Any Nonconformance Amounts payable by Lessee shall be distributed in accordance with Section 5.3(d).

Section 13.3. Proceedings in Respect of Claims. With respect to any amount that Lessee is requested by an Indemnitee to pay by reason of Section 13.1 or 13.2, such Indemnitee shall, if so requested by Lessee and prior to any payment, submit such additional information to Lessee as Lessee may reasonably request and which is in the possession of such Indemnitee to substantiate properly the requested payment.

In case any action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against any Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall, within a reasonable period, notify Lessee of the commencement thereof provided that failure to notify Lessee shall not alter such Indemnitee’s rights under this Section 13.3, except to the extent such failure precludes or materially impairs Lessee’s ability to conduct a defense, and Lessee shall be entitled, at its expense, to participate in, and, to the extent that Lessee desires to, assume and control the defense thereof through its own counsel, which shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Required Participants, on behalf of the Indemnitee; provided, however, that Lessee shall have acknowledged in writing its obligation to fully indemnify such Indemnitee in respect of such action, suit or proceeding and, at the request of the Indemnitee, provide an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, and, Lessee shall keep such Indemnitee fully appraised of the status of such action, suit or proceeding and shall provide such Indemnitee with all information with respect to such action, suit or proceeding as such Indemnitee shall reasonably request. Lessee must indicate its election to assume such defense by written notice to the Indemnitee within ninety (90) days following receipt of Indemnitee’s notice of the Claim, or in the case of a third party claim which requires a shorter time for response then within such shorter period as

-50-

specified in the Indemnitee’s notice of Claim; provided that such Indemnitee has given Lessee notice thereof. Lessee shall not be entitled to assume and control the defense of any such action, suit or proceeding if and to the extent that, (A) in the reasonable opinion of such Indemnitee, (x) such action, suit or proceeding involves any risk of imposition of criminal liability or any material risk of imposition of material civil liability on such Indemnitee or will involve a material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of, or the creation of any Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) on the Leased Property unless, in the case of civil liability, Lessee shall have posted a bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Indemnitees in respect to such risk or (y) the control of such action, suit or proceeding would involve an actual or potential conflict of interest, (B) such proceeding involves Claims not fully indemnified by Lessee which Lessee and the Indemnitee have been unable to sever from the indemnified Claim(s), or (C) an Event of Default is continuing. The Indemnitee may participate in a reasonable manner at its own expense and with its own counsel in any proceeding conducted by Lessee in accordance with the foregoing. Lessee shall not enter into any settlement or other compromise with respect to any Claim which is entitled to be indemnified under Section 13.1 or 13.2, as applicable, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed in the case of a money settlement not involving an admission of liability of such Indemnitee.

The party controlling the defense shall consult in good faith with the other party and its counsel with respect to the defense and shall keep the non‑controlling party reasonably informed as to the progress of the defense. Each Indemnitee shall supply Lessee with such information and documents reasonably requested by Lessee as are necessary or advisable for Lessee to participate in any action, suit or proceeding to the extent permitted by Section 13.1 or 13.2, as applicable, and Lessee and/or Guarantor shall reimburse the Indemnitee for the reasonable out‑of‑pocket expenses of supplying such information and documents. Except during the continuance of an Event of Default where Lessee or Guarantor shall have failed to provide indemnity, in form, substance and in such amount reasonably satisfactory to each Indemnitee, no Indemnitee shall enter into any settlement or other compromise with respect to any Claim which is entitled to be indemnified under Section 13.1 or 13.2, as applicable, without the prior written consent of Lessee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless such Indemnitee waives its right to be indemnified under Section 13.1 or 13.2, as applicable, with respect to such Claim, does not admit any criminal liability or civil liability on behalf of Lessee in connection with such Claim, and uses reasonable efforts to advise Lessee on the status of proceedings from time to time during the pendency of such Claim.

Upon payment in full of any Claim by Lessee pursuant to Section 13.1 or 13.2, as applicable, to or on behalf of an Indemnitee, Lessee, without any further action, shall be subrogated to any and all claims that such Indemnitee may have relating thereto (other than claims in respect of insurance policies maintained by such Indemnitee at its own expense), and such Indemnitee shall execute such instruments of assignment and conveyance, evidence of claims and payment and such other documents, instruments and agreements as may be necessary to preserve any such claims and otherwise cooperate with Lessee and give such further assurances as are necessary or advisable to enable Lessee vigorously to pursue such claims.

Any amount payable to an Indemnitee pursuant to Section 13.1 or 13.2 shall be paid to such Indemnitee promptly, but in no event no later than thirty (30) days, after receipt of a written demand

-51-

therefor from such Indemnitee, accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail the basis for such indemnity and the computation of the amount so payable; provided that the foregoing shall not limit any obligation of Lessee to indemnify an Indemnitee for costs and expenses incurred by such Indemnitee in contesting such Claim in accordance with the terms herein.

Section 13.4. General Tax Indemnity.

(a) Indemnification.

(i) Prior to the Base Term Commencement Date and without limitation on the rights of any Tax Indemnitee under Sections 13.1 and 13.2 hereof, (x) Lessee shall pay and assume liability for, and does hereby agree to indemnify, protect and defend the Leased Property and Lessor, and hold the Leased Property and Lessor harmless against, all Impositions on an After Tax Basis and which in all cases shall include all Impositions on an After Tax Basis for which Lessor has an obligation to indemnify any Person (including, but not limited to, any Person which Lessor sells participating interests in its rights and obligations under this Participation Agreement or the Operative Documents pursuant to Section 12.2) or for which Lessor otherwise has liability under clause (y) below and (y) Lessor shall pay and assume liability for, and does hereby agree to indemnify, protect and defend the Leased Property and all other Tax Indemnitees, and hold it and them harmless against (for and against which obligations of Lessor Lessee agrees to indemnify, protect and defend Lessor), all Impositions on an After Tax Basis, but only to the extent Lessor was indemnified by Lessee for such Impositions pursuant to clause (x) above.

(ii) Commencing upon the Base Term Commencement Date and without limitation on the rights of any Tax Indemnitee under any other indemnification provision of this Article XIII, and the immediately preceding sentence, Lessee shall pay and assume liability for, and does hereby agree to indemnify, protect and defend the Leased Property and all Tax Indemnitees, and hold it and them harmless against, all Impositions on an After Tax Basis.

(b) Contests. If any claim shall be made against any Tax Indemnitee or if any proceeding shall be commenced against any Tax Indemnitee (including a written notice of such proceeding) for any Imposition as to which Lessee may have an indemnity obligation pursuant to this Section 13.4, or if any Tax Indemnitee shall determine that any Imposition for which Lessee may have an indemnity obligation pursuant to this Section 13.4 may be payable, such Tax Indemnitee shall promptly (and in any event, within twenty (20) days) notify Lessee in writing (provided that failure to so notify Lessee within twenty (20) days shall not alter such Tax Indemnitee’s rights under this Section 13.4, except to the extent such failure precludes or materially adversely affects the ability to conduct a contest of any indemnified Taxes) and shall not take any action with respect to such claim, proceeding or Imposition without the written consent of Lessee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or unreasonably delayed) for thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice by Lessee; provided, however, that in the case of any such claim or proceeding, if such Tax Indemnitee shall be required by law or regulation to take action prior to the end of such thirty (30) day period, such Tax Indemnitee shall in such notice to Lessee, so inform Lessee, and such Tax

-52-

Indemnitee shall not take any action with respect to such claim, proceeding or Imposition without the consent of Lessee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or unreasonably delayed) for ten (10) days after the receipt of such notice by Lessee, unless the Tax Indemnitee shall be required by law or regulation to take action prior to the end of such ten (10) day period.

Lessee shall be entitled for a period of thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice from the Tax Indemnitee (or such shorter period as the Tax Indemnitee has notified Lessee is required by law or regulation for the Tax Indemnitee to commence such contest), to request in writing that such Tax Indemnitee contest the imposition of such Tax, at Lessee’s expense. If (x) such contest can be pursued in the name of Lessee and independently from any other proceeding involving a Tax liability of such Tax Indemnitee for which Lessee has not agreed to indemnify such Tax Indemnitee, (y) such contest must be pursued in the name of the Tax Indemnitee, but can be pursued independently from any other proceeding involving a Tax liability of such Tax Indemnitee for which Lessee has not agreed to indemnify such Tax Indemnitee or (z) the Tax Indemnitee so requests, then Lessee shall be permitted to control the contest of such claim; provided that in the case of a contest described in any of clause (x), (y) or (z) if the Tax Indemnitee determines in good faith that such contest by Lessee could have a material adverse impact on the business or operations of the Tax Indemnitee and provides a written explanation to Lessee of such determination, the Tax Indemnitee may elect to control or reassert control of the contest, and provided, that by taking control of the contest, Lessee acknowledges that it is responsible for the Imposition ultimately determined to be due by reason of such claim, and provided, further, that in determining the application of clauses (x) and (y) of the preceding sentence, each Tax Indemnitee shall take any and all reasonable steps to segregate claims for any Taxes for which Lessee indemnifies hereunder from Taxes for which Lessee is not obligated to indemnify hereunder, so that Lessee can control the contest of the former. In all other claims requested to be contested by Lessee, the Tax Indemnitee shall control the contest of such claim, acting through counsel reasonably acceptable to Lessee. In no event shall Lessee be permitted to contest (or the Tax Indemnitee required to contest) any claim, (A) if such Tax Indemnitee provides Lessee with a legal opinion of independent counsel that such action, suit or proceeding involves a risk of imposition of criminal liability or will involve a material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of, or the creation of any Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) on the Leased Property or any part of any thereof unless Lessee shall have posted and maintained a bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Tax Indemnitee in respect to such risk, (B) if an Event of Default is continuing, unless Lessee shall have posted and maintained a bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Tax Indemnitee in respect of the Taxes subject to such claim and any and all expenses for which Lessee is responsible hereunder reasonably foreseeable in connection with the contest of such claim, (C) unless Lessee shall have agreed to pay and shall pay (provided, that prior to the Base Term Commencement Date and pursuant to the terms and conditions in this Participation Agreement relating to Advances, Lessee shall request an Advance the proceeds of which shall be used to pay) to such Tax Indemnitee on demand all reasonable out‑of‑pocket costs, losses and expenses that such Tax Indemnitee may incur in connection with contesting such Imposition, including all reasonable legal, accounting and investigatory fees and disbursements as well as the Impositions which are the subject of such claim to the extent the contest is unsuccessful, or (D) if such contest shall involve the payment of the Tax prior to the contest, unless Lessee shall provide to the Tax Indemnitee an interest‑free advance in an amount equal to the Imposition that the Indemnitee is required to pay (with no additional net after‑tax costs (including Taxes) to such

-53-

Tax Indemnitee). In addition for Tax Indemnitee controlled contests and claims contested in the name of the Tax Indemnitee in a public forum, no contest shall be required: (A) unless the amount of the potential indemnity (taking into account all similar or logically related claims that have been or could be raised in any audit involving such Tax Indemnitee for which Lessee may be liable to pay an indemnity under this Section 13.4(b)) exceeds $50,000 and (B) unless, if requested by the Tax Indemnitee, Lessee shall have provided to the Tax Indemnitee an opinion of counsel selected by Lessee (which may be in‑house counsel, except, in the case of income taxes indemnified hereunder, which opinion shall be that of independent tax counsel selected by the Tax Indemnitee and reasonably acceptable to Lessee) that a reasonable basis exists to contest such claim. In no event shall a Tax Indemnitee be required to appeal an adverse judicial determination to the United States Supreme Court.

The party conducting the contest shall consult in good faith with the other party and its counsel with respect to the contest of such claim for Taxes (or claim for refund) but the decisions regarding what actions to be taken shall be made by the controlling party in its sole judgment; provided, however, that if the Tax Indemnitee is the controlling party and Lessee recommends the acceptance of a settlement offer made by the relevant Governmental Authority and such Tax Indemnitee rejects such settlement offer then the amount for which Lessee will be required to indemnify such Tax Indemnitee with respect to the Taxes subject to such offer shall not exceed the amount which it would have owed if such settlement offer had been accepted. In addition, the controlling party shall keep the non‑controlling party reasonably informed as to the progress of the contest, and shall provide the non‑controlling party with a copy of (or appropriate excerpts from) any reports or claims issued by the relevant auditing agents or taxing authority to the controlling party thereof, in connection with such claim or the contest thereof.

Each Tax Indemnitee shall supply Lessee with such information and documents reasonably requested by Lessee as are necessary or advisable for Lessee to participate in any action, suit or proceeding to the extent permitted by this Section 13.4(b), and Lessee shall promptly reimburse such Indemnitee for the reasonable out‑of‑pocket expenses of supplying such information and documents. Except during the continuation of an Event of Default where Lessee and/or Guarantor shall have failed to provide indemnity and, if requested by a Tax Indemnitee, collateral security, both in form, substance and in such amounts reasonably satisfactory to each Tax Indemnitee, no Tax Indemnitee shall enter into any settlement or other compromise or fail to appeal an adverse ruling with respect to any claim which is entitled to be indemnified under this Section 13.4 (and with respect to which contest is required under this Section 13.4(b)) without the prior written consent of Lessee, unless such Tax Indemnitee waives its right to be indemnified under this Section 13.4 with respect to such claim.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, a Tax Indemnitee will not be required to contest (and Lessee shall not be permitted to contest) a claim with respect to the imposition of any Tax if (i) such Tax Indemnitee shall waive its right to indemnification under this Section 13.4 with respect to such claim (and any claim with respect to such year or any other taxable year, the contest of which is materially adversely affected as a result of such waiver) or (ii) such Tax is the sole result of a claim of a continuing and consistent nature, which claim has previously been resolved against the relevant Tax Indemnitee (unless a change in law or facts has occurred

-54-

since such prior adverse resolution and Lessee provides an opinion of independent tax counsel to the effect it is more likely than not that such change in law or facts will result in a favorable resolution of the claim at issue).

(c) Payments. (i) To, or for the Account of, a Tax Indemnitee. Any Imposition indemnifiable under this Section 13.4 shall be paid directly when due to the applicable taxing authority if direct payment is practicable and permitted. If direct payment to the applicable taxing authority is not permitted or is otherwise not made, any amount payable to a Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 13.4 shall be paid within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written demand therefor from such Tax Indemnitee, accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail the amount so payable, but not before two (2) Business Days prior to the date that the relevant Taxes are due. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 13.4 shall be made directly to the Tax Indemnitee entitled thereto in immediately available funds at such bank or to such account as specified by the Tax Indemnitee in written directions to Lessee, or, if no such direction shall have been given, by check of Lessee payable to the order of the Tax Indemnitee by certified mail, postage prepaid at its address as set forth in this Participation Agreement. Upon the request of any Tax Indemnitee with respect to a Tax that Lessee is required to pay, Lessee shall furnish to such Tax Indemnitee the original or a certified copy of a receipt for Lessee’s payment of such Tax or such other evidence of payment as is reasonably acceptable to such Tax Indemnitee.

(ii) To Lessee. (x) If any Tax Indemnitee actually shall realize a Tax benefit (whether by way of deduction, or use of a credit) with respect to a Tax not indemnifiable hereunder which, in the Tax Indemnitee’s reasonable determination, would not have been realized but for any Tax with respect to which Lessee has reimbursed or indemnified such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to the Operative Documents, which benefit was not previously taken into account in determining the amount of Lessee’s payment to such Tax Indemnitee, such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to Lessee an amount equal to the amount of such Tax benefit, increased by any actual Tax savings realized by such Tax Indemnitee and net of any additional Taxes and any expenses related to obtaining the Tax benefit actually borne by such Tax Indemnitee as a result of such payment (a “Grossed‑Up Basis”); provided, however, that as long as an Event of Default is continuing any such amounts may be applied against any amounts due and owing by Lessee under the Lease; provided further, however, that no Tax Indemnitee shall be required to pay to Lessee any Tax benefit to the extent such payment would be greater than the amount of such Taxes in respect of which the reimbursement or indemnification was paid by Lessee, reduced by all prior payments by such Tax Indemnitee under this Section 13.4(c)(ii)(x) in respect of such amount; any payment to Lessee which is so limited shall, to the extent of such unpaid excess, be carried over and shall be available to offset any future obligations of Lessee under this Section 13.4. If such repaid Tax benefit is thereafter lost, the additional Tax payable shall be treated as a Tax indemnifiable hereunder without regard to the exclusions set forth in clauses (i) through (xi) of the definition of Impositions.

(y) Upon receipt by a Tax Indemnitee of a refund or the benefit of a credit which in the Tax Indemnitee’s reasonable determination was derived all or in part from any Taxes paid or indemnified against by Lessee, which refund or credit was

-55-

not previously taken into account in determining the amount of Lessee’s payment to such Tax Indemnitee, such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to Lessee, on a Grossed‑Up Basis, an amount equal to the amount of such refund, plus any interest received by or credited to such Tax Indemnitee with respect to such refund; provided, however, that as long as an Event of Default is continuing any such amounts may be applied against any amounts due and owing by Lessee under the Lease; provided, further, however, that no Tax Indemnitee shall be required to pay to Lessee any refund or credit to the extent such refund or credit is greater than the amount of Taxes in respect of which payment or indemnification was made by Lessee, reduced by all prior payments by such Tax Indemnitee under this Section 13.4(c)(ii)(y) in respect of such amount. If such repaid refund or credit is thereafter lost, the additional Tax payable shall be treated as a Tax indemnifiable hereunder without regard to the exclusions set forth in clauses (i) through (x) of the definition of Impositions.

(d) Reports. In the case of any report, return or statement required to be filed with respect to any Taxes that are subject to indemnification under this Section 13.4 and of which Lessee has knowledge, Lessee shall promptly notify the Tax Indemnitee of such requirement and, at Lessee’s expense (i) if Lessee is permitted (unless otherwise requested by the Tax Indemnitee) by Applicable Laws, timely file such report, return or statement in its own name or (ii) if such report, return or statement is required to be in the name of or filed by such Tax Indemnitee or the Tax Indemnitee otherwise requests that such report, return or statement be filed in the name of or by such Tax Indemnitee, Lessee shall prepare such report, return or statement for filing by such Tax Indemnitee in such manner as shall be satisfactory to such Tax Indemnitee and send the same to the Tax Indemnitee for filing no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the due date therefor. In any case in which the Tax Indemnitee will file any such report, return or statement, Lessee shall, upon written request of such Tax Indemnitee, provide such Tax Indemnitee with such information as is reasonably necessary to allow the Tax Indemnitee to file such report, return or statement.

(e) Withholding Taxes. (i) Except as otherwise required by law, each payment to an Indemnitee under or contemplated by any Operative Document shall be free of Withholding Taxes (including any Withholding Taxes in respect of payments pursuant to this Section 13.4) and Lessee agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless the Tax Indemnitees against all such Withholding Taxes. If any such withholding is so required, Lessee shall make the withholding and pay the amount withheld to the appropriate taxing authority before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues thereon. Lessee shall forthwith pay the relevant Tax Indemnitee an amount that, after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), equals the amount that would have been paid if such withholding had not been required. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 13.4(e), Lessee shall not be required to make any additional payment to or on behalf of a Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this paragraph on account of:

(A) Withholding Taxes while they are being contested in accordance with Section 13.4(b), so long as such Tax Indemnitee shall be receiving all payments required to be made to it without reduction for any such Withholding Taxes;

-56-

(B) Withholding Taxes imposed on a transferee on the day of the transfer to the extent of the excess of such Withholding Taxes over the total amount of Withholding Taxes that would have been imposed on the transferor on the date of the transfer had there not been a transfer;

(C) Withholding Taxes imposed on a Participant to the extent of the excess of such Withholding Taxes over the total amount of the Withholding Taxes that would have been imposed had such Participant not relocated its Applicable Funding Office after the date of this Agreement;

(D) Withholding Taxes resulting from the gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud of the Tax Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates or the breach of the Operative Documents by the Tax Indemnitee including directing Lessor to engage in any activity not permitted under the Operative Documents;

(E) Withholding Taxes imposed under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any state or local jurisdiction thereof, other than any jurisdiction where such Tax is imposed solely as a result of Lessee making a payment from such jurisdiction or the location or use of the Leased Property in such jurisdiction;

(F) Withholding Taxes imposed pursuant to FATCA; and

(G) Withholding Taxes attributable to any Recipient’s failure to comply with Section 12.3.

If Lessee pays any amount to a Tax Indemnitee with respect to Withholding Taxes required to be withheld by law but not subject to indemnity pursuant to this Section 13.4, such Tax Indemnitee shall reimburse Lessee within thirty (30) days of written demand therefor for the amount so paid by Lessee provided that if such Tax Indemnitee fails to reimburse Lessee within such thirty (30) days, such Tax Indemnitee shall thereafter be obligated to reimburse Lessee for such amount together with interest on such amount at the Overdue Rate from the date such reimbursement was due until the date it is paid.

(ii) For purposes of this Section 13.4, it shall be assumed that the Lease constitutes a loan for United States federal income tax purposes (as is the parties’ intention).

(f) Disclosure. The parties agree that any party to this Participation Agreement (and each employee, representative, or other agent of such party) may disclose the tax aspects of the transactions contemplated by this Participation Agreement and the structural aspects of these transactions as they relate to such tax aspects without limitation of any kind on such disclosure. Any party may provide any of the Operative Documents to the Internal Revenue Service and to any other relevant government tax authority.

-57-

Section 13.5. After Tax Basis. If an Indemnitee shall not be entitled to a corresponding and equal deduction with respect to any payment or Tax which Lessee is required to pay or reimburse under any other provision of this Article XIII (each such payment or reimbursement under this Article XIII, an “Original Payment”) and which Original Payment constitutes income to such Indemnitee when accrued or received, then Lessee shall pay to, or for the account of, such Indemnitee on demand the amount of such Original Payment on an After Tax Basis.

Section 13.6. Limitation on Indemnity. Lessor’s obligation to indemnify and hold harmless any Participant Indemnitee under Section 13.1(a)(i)(B) or Tax Indemnitee under Section 13.4(a)(i)(y), Indemnitee under Section 13.7 or other Person under Section 15.2:

(A) is not an individual or personal obligation of Lessor, but solely its obligation in its capacity as Lessor, and nothing herein shall be construed as creating any liability on Lessor, individually or personally, to pay, indemnify or hold harmless any Participant Indemnitee or other Person under this Article XIII or Section 15.2;

(B) is not an obligation binding on Lessor except to the extent of any payment received by Lessor pursuant to Section 13.1(a)(i)(A), Section 13.4(a)(i)(x) or Section 13.7(A) or Section 15.2(a), as applicable;

(C) shall be paid and discharged solely and exclusively from amounts received by Lessor pursuant to Section 13.1(a)(i)(B), Section 13.4(a)(i)(y) or 13.7(B), and it is expressly agreed by each Participant Indemnitee that the sole recourse of each such Person for payment or discharge of the indemnification obligations created under Section 13.1(a)(i)(B), Section 13.4(a)(i)(y), Section 13.7(B) and Section 15.2(b) shall be to such amounts paid by Lessee pursuant to Section 13.1(a)(i)(A), Section 13.4(a)(i)(x), Section 13.7(A) or Section 15.2(a), as applicable; and

(D) is the sole and exclusive right of each Indemnitee against Lessor, and any right to proceed against Lessor individually or otherwise under common law, federal or state securities laws or otherwise for indemnification or contribution in connection with the matters covered by Section 13.1(a) or Section 13.4, 13.7(B) or Section 15.2(b) is hereby expressly waived by each Indemnitee (other than claims that may be made against Lessor, individually or personally, for fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct).

Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 13.6, nothing in this Article XIII is intended as or shall be construed as a limitation on the right of any Indemnitee to make indemnification, contribution or other claims of any kind against Lessee, to the extent that such claims otherwise may be made, with respect to any matter, including indemnification for Claims of the type referred to in Section 13.1(a).

To the extent that any payments made pursuant to Section 13.1(a)(i)(B), Section 13.4(a)(i)(y) or Section 13.7(B) are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid by Lessor to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver or other Person under any Debtor Relief Law, common law or equitable cause, then to such extent, the Indemnitee

-58-

who received any such payments from Lessor (or any portion thereof) shall repay any such amounts to Lessor, or as may otherwise be directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

The indemnification obligations of Lessor under Section 13.1(a)(i)(B) shall survive and be reinstated to the same extent, for the same period and in the same manner as the indemnification obligations of Lessee.

The right of any Participant Indemnitee or Tax Indemnitee to seek indemnification from Lessor under Section 13.1(a)(i)(B) or 13.4(a)(i)(y) is subject to and conditioned upon compliance by any such Indemnitee with the notice, cooperation, appointment of counsel, contest rights and other provisions in Sections 13.3 and 13.4(b), except that any reference in such Sections to Lessee shall be deemed to be a reference to Lessor.

Section 13.7. Environmental Indemnity. Without limitation of the other provisions of this Article XIII, Lessee hereby agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Indemnitee, (except that prior to the Base Term Commencement Date (A) such indemnity shall be for the benefit of Lessor and which in all cases shall include any Environmental Claim for which Lessor has an obligation to indemnify any Person (including, but not limited to, any Person to which Lessor sells participating interests in its rights and obligations under this Participation Agreement or the Operative Documents pursuant to Section 12.2), or for which Lessor otherwise has liability, under this Section 13.7 and (B) Lessor shall indemnify each other Indemnitee but only to the extent Lessor was indemnified by Lessee for such Environmental Claim), in each case, from and against any and all Claims, losses, damages, liabilities, fines, penalties, charges, administrative and judicial proceedings (including informal proceedings) and orders, judgments, remedial action, requirements, enforcement actions of any kind, and all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ and/or paralegals’ fees and expenses), including all costs incurred in connection with any investigation or monitoring of the condition of the Leased Property or any clean‑up, remedial, removal or restoration work required or conducted by any Governmental Authority or required by Environmental Laws (collectively, “Environmental Claims”), arising in whole or in part, out of:

(a) the presence on, under or around the Leased Property or any portion thereof of any Hazardous Substance, or any Release of any Hazardous Substance on, under, from, onto or around the Leased Property or any portion thereof,

(b) any activity, including, without limitation, construction (including construction of the Facility), carried on or undertaken on the Leased Property or any portion thereof or off the Leased Property, and whether by Lessee or any of its Affiliates or any predecessor in title or any employees, agents, sublessees, contractors or subcontractors of Lessee, any of its Affiliates or any predecessor in title, or any other Persons (including such Indemnitee), in connection with the investigation, handling, treatment, remediation, removal, storage, decontamination, clean‑up, transport or disposal of any Hazardous Substance that at any time has been or is Released, located or present on, under or around, or that at any time has or may migrate, flow, percolate, diffuse or in any way move onto or under the Leased Property or any portion thereof, or any activity that aggravates, contributes

-59-

to or exacerbates existing environmental conditions or results in a violation of existing deed restrictions.

(c) loss of or damage to any property or the environment arising from, or in any way related to, the Leased Property (including, without limitation, investigation costs, clean‑up costs, response costs, remediation, restoration and removal costs, cost of corrective action, costs of financial assurance, fines and penalties and natural resource damages), or death or injury to any Person, and all expenses associated with the protection of wildlife, aquatic species, vegetation, flora and fauna, and any mitigating action required by or under Environmental Laws, in each case arising from, or in any way related to, the Leased Property or the Overall Transaction or any portion thereof,

(d) any claim concerning lack of compliance with Environmental Laws, or any act or omission causing an environmental condition that requires remediation or would allow any Governmental Authority to record a Lien against the Leased Property or any portion thereof, or

(e) any residual contamination on or under any of the Leased Property, or affecting any natural resources, and any contamination of any property or natural resources arising in connection with the generation, use, handling, storage, transport or disposal of any such Hazardous Substance, in each case arising from, or in any way related to, the Leased Property or the Overall Transaction or any portion thereof, and irrespective of whether any of such activities were or will be undertaken in accordance with Applicable Laws.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.7, Lessee shall not be obligated to indemnify an Indemnitee under this Section 13.7 for any Claim (i) to the extent that such Claim is attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (ii) to the extent attributable to acts occurring after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term or (iii) except with respect to any Claim relating to any environmental condition existing as of the Document Closing Date, arising prior to the Base Term Commencement Date and which results solely from a Nonrelated Project Event.

ARTICLE XIV
CONTINGENT LIBOR AND OTHER COSTS

Section 14.1. LIBO Rate Lending Unlawful. If any Participant shall determine (which determination shall, upon notice thereof to Lessee and the Participants, be conclusive and binding on Lessee) that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Participant to make available, continue or maintain any Rent Assignment Contribution or Lessor Amount that bears Yield based upon the LIBO Rate, as the case may be, the obligation of such Participant to make available, continue or maintain any such Rent Assignment Contribution or Lessor Amount, as the case may be, on a LIBO Rate basis shall, upon such determination, forthwith be suspended (unless such Participant determines in its sole discretion that it can continue to make

-60-

any Rent Assignment Contribution or Lessor Amount based upon the LIBO Rate at one of its lending offices where such action would not be deemed unlawful) until such Participant shall notify Lessee and Lessor that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and, to the extent required by any such introduction of or change in or in the interpretation of any law, all Rent Assignment Contributions and Lessor Amount, as the case may be, of such Participant shall automatically accrue Yield at the Alternate Base Rate either (a) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Rent Assignment Contributions or Lessor Amount, as the case may be, if such Participant may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Rent Assignment Contribution or Lessor Amount, or (b) immediately if such Participant shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Rent Assignment Contribution or Lessor Amount, as the case may be, to such day thereto or sooner, if required by such law or assertion.

Section 14.2. Deposits Unavailable. If any Participant shall have determined that:

(a) Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant Interest Period are not available to such Participant in its relevant market; or

(b) by reason of circumstances affecting such Participant’s relevant market, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate applicable to such Participant’s Rent Assignment Contributions or Lessor Amount,

then, upon notice from such Participant to Lessee and the other Participants, (i) the obligations of the Participants to make available Rent Assignment Contributions or Lessor Amount on a LIBO Rate basis, as the case may be, shall be suspended and (ii) each outstanding Rent Assignment Contribution and Lessor Amount, as the case may be, shall begin to accrue Yield at the Alternate Base Rate on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto.

Section 14.3. Increased Costs, etc. If any change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or phase‑in of any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any court, central bank, regulator or other Governmental Authority after the date hereof increases or would increase the cost other than in respect of Taxes, except for withholding taxes imposed as the result of any change in law, regulation or treaty first enacted, promulgated or signed after the Document Closing Date (and without limiting Lessee’s obligations pursuant to Sections 13.4, 13.5 or 14.6 hereof), to any Participant of, or reduces or would reduce the amount of any sum receivable by, such Participant in respect of making available, continuing or maintaining (or of its obligation to make available, continue or maintain) or prevents or would prevent any Participant from being legally entitled to a complete exemption from withholding as described in Section 12.3 with respect to, any Rent Assignment Contributions or Lessor Amount, as the case may be, then Lessee shall from time to time, within thirty (30) days of demand by such Participant together with the certificate referred to below (with a copy of such demand and certificate to the Administrative Agent), pay (provided, that prior to the Base Term Commencement Date and pursuant to the terms and conditions in this Participation Agreement relating to Advances, Lessee shall request an Advance the proceeds of which shall be used to pay) to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Participant additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Participant for such increased cost; provided, that no

-61-

Participant shall be entitled to demand such compensation more than ninety (90) days following the later of such Participant’s incurrence or sufferance thereof and such Participant’s actual knowledge of the event giving rise to such Participant’s rights under this section; provided further, however, that the foregoing provision shall in no way limit the right of any Participant to demand or receive such compensation to the extent that such compensation relates to the retroactive application of any law, regulation, guideline or request if such demand is made within ninety (90) days after the implementation of such retroactive law, interpretation, guideline or request. A certificate as to the nature and amount of such increased cost, submitted to Lessee and the Administrative Agent by such Participant in good faith, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

Section 14.4. Funding Losses. In the event any Participant shall incur any loss or out‑of‑pocket expense (including any Break Costs and any loss or out‑of‑pocket expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Participant to make available, continue or maintain any portion of the principal amount of any Rent Assignment Contributions or Lessor Amount, as the case may be) as a result of

(a) any conversion or repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Rent Assignment Contributions or Lessor Amount, as the case may be, on a date other than the scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto,

(b) any Rent Assignment Contribution or Lessor Amount, as the case may be, not being made in accordance with the Advance Request therefor (unless such failure to fund such Rent Assignment Contributions or fund such Lessor Amounts, as the case may be, constitutes a breach by the applicable Participant of its obligations under Article III),

then, upon the written notice of such Participant to Lessee (with a copy to Lessor), Lessee shall, within five (5) days of its receipt thereof, pay (provided, that prior to the Base Term Commencement Date and pursuant to the terms and conditions this Participation Agreement relating to Advances and Lessee shall request an Advance the proceeds of which shall be used to pay) directly to such Participant as Supplemental Rent such amount (determined on the basis of such Participant’s standard practices) as will reimburse such Participant for such loss or out‑of‑pocket expense. Such written notice (which shall include calculations in sufficiently reasonable detail to indicate the incurrence and amount of such loss and out‑of‑pocket expense) shall be presumed correct and binding on Lessee absent demonstrable error.

Section 14.5. Increased Capital Cost. If any Participant determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) issued, promulgated or made, as the case may

-62-

be, after the date hereof affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Participant or any corporation controlling such Participant and that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such Participant’s Commitment hereunder and other commitments of this type then, within thirty (30) days of demand by such Participant together with the certificate referred to below (with a copy of such demand and certificate to the Administrative Agent), Lessee shall pay (provided, that prior to the Base Term Commencement Date and pursuant to the terms and conditions in this Participation Agreement relating to Advances, Lessee shall request an Advance the proceeds of which shall be used to pay) to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Participant, from time to time as specified by such Participant, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Participant or such corporation in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Participant determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Participant’s Commitment hereunder or the Fundings made by such Participant hereunder; provided, that no Participant shall be entitled to demand such compensation if more than ninety (90) days following the later of such Participant’s incurrence or sufferance thereof and such Participant’s actual knowledge of the event giving rise to such Participant’s rights under this section; provided further, however, that the foregoing proviso shall in no way limit the right of any Participant to demand or receive such compensation to the extent that such compensation relates to the retroactive application of any law, regulation, guideline or request described above if such demand is made within one year after the implementation of such retroactive law, interpretation, guidelines or request. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to Lessee and the Administrative Agent by such Participant in good faith shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Section 14.6. After Tax Basis . Lessee shall pay all amounts owing under this Article XIV on an After Tax Basis.

Section 14.7. Applicability of Certain Sections. The provisions of Sections 14.1 through 14.6 are applicable to Lessor and the Participants in connection with any funding or maintenance thereof by reference to the LIBO Rate, and not otherwise.

Section 14.8. Funding Office. If Lessee is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Participant pursuant to Sections 14.1 to 14.3 or Section 14.5, to the extent applicable, then such Participant will agree to use reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Funding Office so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such change, in the sole judgment of such Participant, is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Participant.

Section 14.9. Replacement of Participants. (a) If (i) any Participant shall make demand for payment under Section 12.3, 13.4(e), 14.3 or 14.5, or shall deliver any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 14.1 resulting in the suspension of certain obligations of the Participants with respect to LIBO Rate Advances, (ii) the Administrative Agent notifies Lessee that such Rent Assignee is a Defaulting Rent Assignee under Section 3.5(b), (iii) any Participant fails to consent to a Renewal Option Request pursuant to Section 4.7, or (iv) any Participant shall refuse to consent to any amendment, modification or waiver which has been approved by the Required Participants but can only become effective upon the consent of all Participants, then within sixty (60) days of

-63-

such demand, notice or refusal, Lessee may demand that such Participant assign its interest in accordance with this Section 14.9 to one or more Eligible Assignees designated by Lessee and all (but not less than all) of such Participant’s Commitment(s), Fundings and its Rent Assignment Contribution and Lessor Amount, as applicable, within the next thirty (30) days but such Participant shall be entitled to any amount which would have been due to it under Section 14.4 hereof if such Fundings had been prepaid rather than assigned. If any such Eligible Assignee designated by Lessee shall fail to consummate such assignment on terms acceptable to such Participant and as otherwise provided in Sections 12.1(a) and 12.1(b), or if Lessee shall fail to designate any such Eligible Assignee for all of such Participant’s Commitment or Fundings, then such Participant may assign such Commitment and Fundings to any other Eligible Assignee in accordance with this Section 14.9 and as otherwise provided in Sections 12.1(a) and 12.1(b) during such 30‑day period.

(b) The Administrative Agent and Lessor hereby agree to reasonably cooperate with Lessee, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense in Lessee’s efforts to arrange one or more replacement Participants as contemplated by this Section 14.9.

Section 14.10. LIBO Successor Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Participation Agreement or any other Operative Document, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or Lessee or the Required Participants notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Participants, a copy to Lessee) that the Lessee or Required Participants (as applicable) have determined, that:

(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period, including, without limitation, because the LIBOR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(ii) the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Rate or the LIBOR Screen Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”), or

(iii) syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace the LIBO Rate,

then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and Lessee may amend this Agreement to replace the LIBO Rate with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein) (any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Participants and Lessee unless, prior to such time, the Participants comprising

-64-

the Required Participants have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Participants do not accept such amendment. Such LIBOR Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such LIBOR Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent.

If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (i) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify Lessee and each Participant. Thereafter, the obligation of the Participants to make available, continue or maintain any Advance that bears Yield on a LIBO Rate basis shall be suspended, (to the extent of the affected Advances or Interest Periods).

Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of LIBOR Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement.
