The Subleased Premises are within the Airport District. The Parties acknowledge that the Application, Acceptance and Master Lease impose certain requirements on PDA with respect to subleases which are addressed in the terms and conditions of this Sublease. Copies of the Application, Acceptance and Master Lease are attached to this Sublease as Exhibits 1 and 2. Unless the context refers specifically to the documents constituting Exhibits 1 and 2, the terms Application, Acceptance and Master Lease shall include any amendments to said documents.
C. The Parties acknowledge that a Federal Facilities Agreement ("FFA'") required under Section 120 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 9601 et seq., has been entered into by the Air Force, the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services ("NHDES") and the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") regarding certain contamination at Xxxxx and that this FFA also imposes certain requirements upon PDA and Redhook which are addressed in the terms and conditions of this Sublease. A copy of the FFA is attached to this Sublease as Exhibit 3. Unless the context refers specifically to the document constituting Exhibit 3, the term FFA shall include any amendments to said document. (The Application, Acceptance, Master Lease and FFA may be referred to collectively as the "Airport Transfer Documents.")

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants herein contained and other valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, PDA and Redhook hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
PREMISES
PREMISES
1.1 Description of Subleased Premises.
PDA, for and in consideration of the rents and covenants herein specified to be paid and performed by Redhook, hereby leases to Redhook and Redhook hereby leases from FDA, the land area consisting of 1,012,226 square feet which land area is described more particularly on the plans attached as Exhibit A (the "Subleased Premises" or the ''Premises").
1.2 Utility Easements - Rights-of-Way.
This Sublease is subject to existing easements and rights-of-way of record and to the Utility Sublease and License Agreement dated July 31, 1992 by and between FDA and Public Service Company of New Hampshire ("PSNH") and to the Utility Sublease and License Agreement dated May 10, 1995 by and between PDA and New England Telephone and Telegraph Company ("NETEL"). It is anticipated that PDA and Redhook will grant further underground utility easements on the Premises to utility suppliers for the purpose of bringing electricity, gas, water and other utility services to the buildings to be constructed by Redhook on the Premises. FDA agrees to cooperate with Redhook (without obligation on the part of PDA to incur any expenses) in Redhook's efforts to obtain the approval of PSNH to place underground the power lines that presently cross the Premises and to complete the underground placement of such powerlines within twelve (12) months of the Term Commencement Date. The Parties acknowledge that utility lines and other property rights currently owned by utility suppliers, or subsequently constructed by or granted to a utility supplier, shall not be part of the Premises.
1.3 Option Area - Right of First Refusal.
PDA grants to Redhook certain rights of first refusal to lease an additional ten (10) acre area designated as the "Option Area" in Exhibit A (the "Option Area"). Redhook's rights of first refusal shall commence upon the receipt by PDA of a bona fide offer from a third party to lease or purchase the Option Area upon terms and conditions acceptable to PDA ("Third Party Offer"). PDA shall provide Redhook with a copy of any Third Party Offer and Redhook shall have thirty (30) days from its receipt of the copy of the Third Party Offer to deliver to PDA written notice of Redhook's intent to lease or purchase the Option Area on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Third Party Offer ("Option Exercise Notice"), provided, however, that Redhook's use of the Option Area shall be limited to the uses permitted under Article 9 of this Sublease. In order to be valid Redhook's Option Exercise Notice must not be limited to financial terms and conditions but must also include all other terms and conditions of the Third Party Offer, including without limitation, a schedule and description of jobs to be created, if included in the Third Party Offer. Alternately, Redhook's Option Exercise Notice may include other non-financial terms that provide PDA with
-2-
the same or greater (as determined solely by FDA) benefits than the non-financial terms set out in the Third Party Offer. At the same time Redhook provides PDA with its Option Exercise Notice, Redhook shall provide FDA with a schedule reasonably acceptable to PDA establishing deadlines for completing any necessary improvements to the Option Area and for initiating and maintaining active use of the Option Area. A schedule for design, construction, commencement of Redhook's use, and job creation shall be reflected in any sublease agreement covering the Option Area with appropriate sanctions in event of Redhook's breach of its scheduled commitments. PDA and Redhook shall exercise best efforts and cooperate in good faith to conclude a lease, sublease or purchase agreement for the Option Area within sixty (60) days following receipt by PDA of the Option Exercise Notice. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Sublease, any purchase of the Option Area shall be conditioned upon the occurrence of the following: (i) Redhook's purchase of the Subleased Premises in accordance with the provisions of Article 27 of this Sublease; and (ii) PDA's determination, in its sole discretion, to make the Option Area available for sale to a third party.
The development of the Option Area shall be at Redhook's sole expense and sole risk and PDA makes no warranty or representation in respect to the Option Area and undertakes no obligations to make any repairs or improvements to the Option Area. Any warranty, representation or commitment made by PDA to a third party that is a condition of the Third Party Offer, shall also be made to Redhook in connection with the exercise by Redhook of its rights of first refusal under this Section 1.3. Any agreement of the Parties regarding the lease, sublease or purchase of the Option Area shall include, without limitation, provisions applicable to Alterations, as set forth in Articles 15 and 25 of this Sublease, and any applicable provisions of the Airport Transfer Documents.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Sublease, Redhook shall have no right of first refusal, option or other right to the Option Area (and PDA shall be free to use, lease or otherwise transfer such area as it deems appropriate) upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the failure of Redhook to exercise its right in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.3; (ii) the expiration or termination of this Sublease; or (iii) the failure of the Parties to reach an appropriate agreement concerning the development of the Option Area within the required period (or any extension thereof mutually acceptable to the Parties) after exercising best efforts in good faith to conclude such agreement.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Sublease, Redhook shall have no rights with respect to the Option Area if a Default (as that term is defined in Section 18.1) by Redhook occurs.
1.4 General Rights of Access.
Redhook shall have the right of access to and from the Premises to the nearest public road or public way along airport roadways designated by PDA as open to public use in common with other airport tenants and Authorized Airport Users of the Airport. The term Authorized Airport Users shall include Sublessee, its customers, employees, contractors, invitees, vendors and other trade suppliers regularly associated with or necessary to Sublessee's use of the Subleased Premises.
The rights of Redhook under this Section 1.4 shall be subordinate to PDA' s rights, to manage the common areas and roadways which rights shall include, without limitation, the right to impose
-3-
reasonable rules and regulations relating to use of the common areas and roadways and the right to add, delete, alter or otherwise modify the designation and use of all parking areas, entrances, exits, roadways and other areas of the Airport, provided, however, that during the term of this Sublease, Redhook shall have reasonable access to the Premises.
1.5 License Area.
Pursuant to a License Agreement by and between the Parties dated May 30, 1995 (the "License"), PDA has granted to Redhook certain rights in the Licensed Area, as more particularly described in the License. It is the intent of the Parties that the provisions of Articles 7, 13, 15 and 25 of this Sublease, shall be applicable with equal force and effect to the Licensed Area.

-7-
Redhook agrees to be solely responsible for any plans and specifications used by it and for any loss or damages resulting from the use thereof, notwithstanding the same have been approved by PDA and notwithstanding the incorporation therein of PDA recommendations or requirements. Notwithstanding the requirement for approval by PDA or the incorporation therein of PDA requirements or recommendations, and notwithstanding any rights PDA may have reserved to itself under this Sublease, PDA shall have no liabilities or obligations of any kind to any contractors engaged by Redhook or for any other matter in connection therewith and Redhook hereby releases and discharges PDA, its board members, officers, representatives and employees of and from any and all liability, claims for damages or losses of any kind, or from any action or cause of action arising or alleged to arise out of the performance of any construction work pursuant to the contracts between Redhook and its contractors.
Redhook shall appoint a project manager (the "Project Manager") to administer Redhook's construction and other related activities at the Subleased Premises. The Project Manager shall be responsible for coordinating with PDA concerning PDA's construction activities under Section 2A.1 and keeping PDA generally up to date on major construction and construction related activities of Redhook and shall be available at the Airport at all reasonable times and during on-site emergencies or situations requiring immediate or expeditious response or consultation with PDA.
At the completion of construction, Redhook shall provide PDA with reproducible as-built drawings of buildings and building support systems (i.e.. electrical, HVAC, plumbing) comprising of Redhook Improvements (but not including proprietary equipment used in the brewing process) when completed.
2A.4. Risk of Loss - Indemnification.

In the event of such loss or damage, Redhook shall forthwith repair and replace such property of PDA affected by such loss or damage and make good the construction work without cost or expense to PDA. Redhook shall require each of its contractors to indemnify and hold harmless PDA, its board members, officers, agents and employees from and against all claims and demands, of third persons arising or alleged to arise out of the performance of Redhook's construction work by such contractor and for all expenses incurred by it and by them in the defense, settlement or satisfaction thereof, including without limitation thereto, claims and demands for death, for personal injury or for property damage, arising from the acts or omissions of such contractors, excepting only claims and demands which result solely from the negligence of PDA and its employees, officers, agents and contractors.

ARTICLE 3
TERM
TERM
3.1 This Sublease shad be for a base term equal to the period of the remaining term of the Master Lease ("Base Term'') which term shall commence upon the date of execution by both Parties ("Term Commencement Date") and shall expire at Noon on April 13, 2047, unless terminated earlier or extended in accordance with the provisions of this Sublease. Subject to PDA's having renewed the Master Lease or acquired fee title to the Subleased Premises, Redhook may, at its option, extend the Base Term for two (2) additional periods of seven (7) years each (the "Extension Term(s)"). In no event shall the Base Term and all Extension Terms extend beyond Noon on April 13, 2061. Any extension of the term through exercise of an option shall be upon the same terms and conditions applicable to the Base Term, provided that rental rates shall escalate as provided in Article 4 (and any other applicable provision addressing rental rates).
It is anticipated that PDA will acquire fee title to the Airport, including the Subleased Premises, during the term of this Sublease and that such acquisition will result in the termination of the Master Lease. In the event of such acquisition and termination of the Master Lease, this Sublease shall convert automatically into a direct lease between PDA and Redhook and PDA and Redhook will in good faith negotiate and execute such amendment or amendments as may be appropriate in their mutual judgement to delete any obligations between Redhook and the United States or the Air Force or any other provisions of this Sublease that the Parties determine should be deleted or otherwise amended because of the termination of the Master Lease, provided, however, that such amendment or amendments shall not delete or otherwise affect any obligations of Redhook to the United States or the Air Force or any other provisions of the Sublease that are required to survive the Master Lease.
3.2 As a condition precedent to the exercise by Redhook of any of its options to extend the term of this Sublease, Redhook shall give a written notice ("Option Notice") to PDA of its exercise of each such option at least twelve (12) months prior to the end of the Base Term or any applicable Extension Term. The failure of Redhook to exercise any option shall result in a termination of any remaining option.
3.3 The options to extend the term hereby granted may not be exercised at any time during which Redhook is in Default (as defined in Section 18.1) and, at the election of PDA, shall not be effective if any Default (as defined in Section 18.1) occurs after the exercise of such option and before the expiration of the applicable term, it being the intent of the Parties that the options granted hereby may not be exercised or become effective at a time when a Default (as defined in Section 18.1) by Redhook exists under this Sublease.
3.4 Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise when used in this Sublease the phrase "term of this Sublease" shall mean the Base Term plus any duly exercised allowable extensions thereof.

ARTICLE 4
AREA RENT - MUNICIPAL SERVICES FEE
AREA RENT - MUNICIPAL SERVICES FEE
4.1 Redhook shall pay to PDA area rent ("Area Rent") at the following initial annual rates for the land areas of the Subleased Premises described in Section 1.1:
(a) Thirty cents ($0.30) per square foot of developed area, as indicated on Exhibit C, for the 348,480 square feet of developed area. (As of the Term Commencement Date, the developed area rent is One Hundred Four Thousand Five Hundred Forty-Four Dollars ($104,544.00).)
(b) Twenty-two cents ($0.22) per square foot for the open space area, as indicated on Exhibit C, for the 663,746 square feet of open space area. (As of the Term Commencement Date, the open space area rent is One Hundred Forty-Six Thousand Twenty Four Dollars and Twelve Cents ($146,024.12).)
In the event Redhook utilizes any of the open space area for development, including any landscaping or open space required to meet requirements under the PDA Land Use Controls, the open space area so utilized shall convert to developed area and the then annual per square foot rental rate applicable to developed area (including any previous escalation under Section 4.4.) shall apply to such converted open space area (including any further escalation under Section 4.4). It is not intended by the Parties that the term "developed area" as used in this Sublease be limited to the calculation of impervious surface area.
4.2 In consideration of the construction of Redhook Improvements, as described in Article 2A, no Area Rent under Section 4.1 nor municipal services fee under Section 4.7 shall be payable until the earlier of commencement of occupancy of the Facility or September 30, 1996, provided, however, that in the event commencement of occupancy cannot occur by September 30, 1996 solely as the result of delay caused by judicial order preventing Redhook from proceeding with its construction activities or PDA from providing Redhook with any necessary PDA approvals, or by the failure of PDA to perform any of its obligations within the time specified for such performance, the commencement date for Area Rent and the municipal services fee shall be extended by a time period equal to the period of actual delay. The annual Area Rent shall be payable in each case in equal monthly installments of one twelfth thereof in advance on the first day of each month without offset in lawful money of the United States at the office of PDA at the Airport or at such other address as PDA may hereafter designate. In addition, Redhook agrees to pay when due, such other amounts that may be required to be paid as additional rent. Redhook's rent obligation for any fractional portion of a calendar month at the beginning or end of the term of this Sublease shall be a similar fraction of the rental due for an entire month.
4.3 As of each Adjustment Date (as hereinafter defined), the Area Rent shall be adjusted as provided in Section 4.4.
4.4 On the first day following expiration of the tenth year of the term of this Sublease and on the first day of each subsequent fifth year period (individually, the "Adjustment Date" and
-10-
collectively, the "Adjustment Dates") Area Rent shall be subject to adjustment for the remainder of the term of this Sublease as follows:
the rental rates in effect just prior to the then applicable Adjustment Date as set forth in Section 4.1(a) and (h) shall be increased by five percent (5%) so the new rates for the ensuing five-year period shall be one hundred five percent (105%) of each rate comprising Area Rent prior to adjustment.
4.5 [RESERVED]
4.6 The Area Rent and all other rent, additional rent, or other fees or payments payable hereunder shall be net to PDA, free and clear of any and all Impositions (as defined in Section 5.1), or expenses of any nature whatsoever in connection with the Premises. The Parties agree that, except as expressly provided herein, all costs, expenses and charges of every kind and nature relating to the Subleased Premises which may be attributed to, or become due during the initial or any extension term of this Sublease, shall constitute additional rent to be paid by Redhook and, upon failure of Redhook to pay any such costs, expenses or charges, PDA shall have the same rights and remedies as otherwise provided in this Sublease for the failure of Redhook to pay rent. It is the intention of the Parties that Redhook shall in no event be entitled to any abatement or reduction in rent payable hereunder, except as expressly provided herein. Any present or future law to the contrary shall not alter the agreement of the Parties.
4.7 In addition to the Area Rent required to be paid under this Article 4 Redhook shall also pay to PDA as additional rent a municipal services fee of $1.00 per square foot of building area per year (i.e. square feet of floor space within buildings measured from the outside edge of outside walls) within any building on the Subleased Premises, as the same may be adjusted through additions from time to time. This fee is for fire, police and roadway services provided by PDA at the Airport and will be subject to increases each year (beginning January 1, 1998) only to the extent the cost to PDA of providing such services increases. The municipal services fee shall be paid quarterly in advance at the times and in the fashion provided in Section 4.2 for the payment of Area Rent. To the extent the Subleased Premises are subject to municipal taxation, and provided such municipal taxes include the costs of the provision of fire, police and roadway services, Redhook may offset against any fee paid to PDA the portion of such municipal taxes as are attributable to fire, police and roadway services, and FDA shall have no further obligation to provide such services. For so long as municipal taxes are imposed against the Subleased Premises, or on Redhook as Sublessee, for all three of fire, police and roadway services and PDA either has no obligation to provide such services (or ceases to provide such services), the municipal services fee required to be paid under this Section 43 shall terminate.
Any municipal taxes imposed for tire, police, and/or roadway services shall be considered an Imposition under Article 5 of this Sublease.

IMPOSITIONS
5.1 During the term of this Sublease, Redhook shall pay when due, all taxes, charges, excises, license and permit fees, assessments, and other governmental charges, general and special, ordinary and extraordinary, unforeseen, as well as foreseen, of any kind and nature whatsoever, which during the term of this Sublease are assessed or imposed upon or become due and payable or a lien upon: (i) the Subleased Premises or any part thereof or any personal property, equipment or other facility used in the operation thereof; or (ii) the rent or income received from subtenants or licensees; or (iii) any use or occupancy of the Subleased Premises; or (iv) this transaction or any document to which Redhook is a party creating or transferring an estate or interest in the Subleased Premises (all of which taxes, charges, excises, fees, assessments and other governmental charges are hereinafter collectively referred to as "Impositions"). If, by law, any such Imposition is payable, or may at the option of Redhook be paid in installments. Redhook may pay the same together with any accrued interest on the unpaid balance of such Imposition in installments as the same respectively become due and before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added thereto for the nonpayment of any such installment and interest_ Any Imposition relating to a fiscal period of the taxing authority a part of which period is included prior to the commencement of the term of this Sublease, shall be prorated as between PDA and Redhook so that Redhook shall pay only the portion thereof attributable to any period during the term of this Sublease.
5.2 Redhook covenants to furnish to PDA within fourteen (14) days of receipt of a written request from PDA, official receipts of the appropriate taxing authority, or other proof satisfactory to PDA, evidencing the payment thereof.
5.3 Redhook shall have the right before any delinquency occurs to contest or object to the amount or validity of any such Imposition by appropriate legal proceedings. This right shall not be deemed or construed in any way as relieving, modifying or extending Redhook's covenant to pay any such Imposition at the time and in the manner in this Article, unless Redhook shall have obtained a stay of such proceedings. PDA shall not be required to join in any such proceedings unless it shall be necessary for it to do so in order to prosecute such proceedings and PDA shall have been fully indemnified to its satisfaction against all costs and expenses in connection therewith_ PDA shall not be subjected to any liability for the payment of any costs or expenses (including attorneys' and expert witness fees) in connection with any such proceedings brought by Redhook, and Redhook covenants to indemnify and save PDA harmless from any such costs or expenses.
5.4 As between the Parties, Redhook alone shall have the duty of attending to, making or filing any declaration, statement or report which may be provided or required by law as the basis of or in connection with the determination, equalization, reduction or payment of any and every Imposition which is to be borne or paid or which may become payable by Redhook under the provisions of this Article, and PDA shall not be or become responsible to Redhook therefor, nor for the contents of any such declaration, statement or report.

(1) Property insurance coverage against loss or damage by fire and lightning and against loss or damage or other risks embraced by coverage of the type now known as the broad form of extended coverage (including but not limited to riot and civil commotion, vandalism, and malicious mischief and earthquake) in an amount not less than 100% of the full replacement value of the buildings, building improvements, improvements to the land, and personal property on the Subleased Premises. The policies of insurance carried in accordance with this Section shall contain a "Replacement Cost Endorsement." Such full replacement cost shall be determined from time to time, upon the written request of PDA, but not more frequently than once in any twenty-four (24) consecutive calendar month period (except in the event of substantial changes or alterations to the Premises undertaken by Redhook as permitted under the provisions hereof) by written agreement of PDA and Redhook, or if they cannot agree within thirty (30) days of such request, by an insurance consultant, appraiser, architect or contractor who shall be mutually and reasonably acceptable to PDA and Redhook. Any such determination by a third party shall be subject to approval by PDA and Redhook, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The insurance maintained in this Section shall be adjusted to one hundred percent (100%) of the new full replacement cost consistent with the approved determination.
(2) Comprehensive general liability insurance, including but not limited to liquor liability and products and completed operations liability insurance, on an "occurrence basis" against claims for "personal injury", including without limitation, bodily injury, death or property damage, occurring upon, in or about the Subleased Premises including any buildings thereon and the adjoining sidewalks, streets, and passageways, such insurance to afford immediate minimum protection at the time of the Term Commencement Date, and at all times during the term of this Sublease, to a limit of not less than five million dollars ($5,000,000.00) with respect to damage to property and five million dollars ($5,000,000.00) with respect to personal injury or death to any one or more persons and with no deductible or such deductible amount as may be approved by PDA. Such insurance shall also include coverage against liability for bodily injury or property damage arising out of the acts or omissions by or on behalf of Redhook. or any other person or organization, or involving
-15-
any owned, non-owned, leased or hired automotive equipment in connection with Redhook's activities.
(3) Workers' compensation and employer's liability insurance in an amount and form which meets all applicable requirements of the labor laws of the State of New Hampshire, as amended from time to time, and which specifically covers the persons and risks involved in this Sublease.
(4) Automobile liability insurance in amounts approved from time to time by PDA, but not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) combined single limit for owned, hired and non-owned automobiles.
(5) Bailment insurance for customer and/or employee vehicles in the care, custody, and control of Redhook, in amounts approved from time to time by PDA to a limit of not less than One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00).

All such policies of insurance shall include PDA and the United States of America as additional insureds. Upon the execution of this Sublease (and thereafter not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration date of each policy furnished pursuant to this Article) a copy of such policy and a certificate of the insurer, reasonably satisfactory to PDA shall be delivered by Redhook to FDA.
7.3 All policies of insurance shall provide for losses thereunder to be payable to PDA and Redhook and the Parties shall make allocation as may be required in accordance with the terms of this Sublease.
7.4 Each such policy or certificate therefor issued by the insurer shall to the extent obtainable contain (i) a provision that no act or omission of Redhook, or any employee, officer or agent of Redhook, which would otherwise result in forfeiture or reduction of the insurance therein provided shall affect or limit the obligation of the insurance company to pay the amount of any loss sustained, (ii) an agreement by the insurer that such policy shall not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice by registered mail to PDA and to any Subleasehold Mortgagee.
7.5 All policies of insurance required to be maintained by Redhook shall have attached thereto the Lender's Loss Payable Endorsement, or its equivalent, or a loss payable clause acceptable to PDA, for the benefit of any Subleasehold Mortgagee, but the right of any Subleasehold Mortgagee to the payment of insurance proceeds shall at all times be subject to the provisions of this Sublease with respect to the application of the proceeds of such insurance.
7.6 Redhook shall observe and comply with the requirements of all policies of insurance at any time in force with respect to the Subleased Premises and Redhook shall also perform and satisfy the requirements of the companies writing such policies so that at all times companies of good
-16-
standing reasonably satisfactory to PDA shall be willing to write or to continue such insurance. Redhook shall, in the event of any violations or attempted violations of the provisions of this Section 7.6 by a subtenant, take steps, immediately upon knowledge of such violation or attempted violation, to remedy or prevent the same as the case may be.
7.7 Any insurance provided for in this Sublease may be effected by a policy or policies of blanket insurance or may be continued in such form until otherwise required by PDA; provided, however, that the amount of the total insurance allocated to the Subleased Premises shall be such as to furnish in protection the equivalent of separate policies in the amounts herein required, and provided further that in all other respects, any such policy or policies shall comply with the other provisions of this Sublease. In any such case Redhook shall deliver to PDA and to any Subleasehold Mortgagee a certificate in form and content reasonably acceptable to PDA.
7.8 The Parties acknowledge that Redhook's ability to obtain insurance coverage to the extent required under this Sublease and correlative provisions of the Master Lease, is dependent upon the availability of such insurance from insurance providers. In the event any insurance coverage required under this Sublease is commercially unreasonable the Parties will confer for the purpose of adjusting such coverage consistent with the prevailing insurance market conditions and will mutually cooperate to obtain the acknowledgement of the Air Force that affected provisions of the Master Lease cannot be complied with due to market conditions, thereby relieving FDA and Redhook of any obligation to comply with such requirements. Any such adjustment, however, shall be in effect only during the period when insurance market conditions dictate such change and shall not result in a permanent amendment of Redhook's obligations unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, and, to the extent applicable, by the Air Force.

PDA shall review Redhook's request and the Parties shall attempt in good faith to reach agreement to accommodate Redhook's request if PDA determines such effort to be feasible and practical. If the parties agree to accelerate the schedule, Redhook shall be responsible for paying the costs of the improvements to the extent such costs are attributable to the acceleration of the completion of the improvements, but only to the extent the overall costs of the improvements are greater than PDA's cost for such improvements without taking into account such acceleration. Redhook shall provide PDA with sufficient funds in advance to meet all such estimated additional costs to achieve Redhook's request for acceleration and Redhook shall pay any further such additional costs as may be incurred by PDA (at the same time as such costs are due to be paid by PDA) in connection with the acceleration of the work over and above the Redhook advance payment PDA's agreement to perform the work on an accelerated basis may, if PDA so elects, be conditioned upon PDA receiving guarantees or security from Redhook acceptable to PDA to ensure that Redhook's payment obligations under this Subsection are fully satisfied. Redhook shall also reimburse PDA for any reasonable costs incurred by PDA, including, without limitation, engineering and other consultant fees, in connection with PDA's review of any request submitted by Redhook to accelerate the above milestone dates.
(iii) Prior to the closing on the terms of the financing of the improvements pursuant to Subsection (i), Redhook shall deposit the sum of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) with First National Bank of Portsmouth, Newington Branch, in an interest bearing escrow trust account to be held for the joint benefit of Redhook and PDA and to provide a source for the payment of Redhook's share of the cost of said improvements (such account is referred to hereafter as the "Redhook Fund Account"). PDA shall have the right to draw on the Redhook Fund Account to pay the cost of improvements as incurred over the course of the project, provided that the funds to meet project costs when due shall be drawn from PDA available funds and from the Redhook Fund Account according to the following ratio: 2.5 (PDA funds) to 1.0 (Redhook Fund Account). This fund

utilization ratio shall continue until One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) has been withdrawn by PDA from the Redhook Fund Account The interest earned by the Redhook Fund Account shall remain in the Redhook Fund Account until One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) has been withdrawn by PDA, at which time First National Bank of Portsmouth shall distribute all remaining funds to Redhook and the Redhook Fund Account shall be closed. PDA shall provide Redhook with quarterly reports on its utilization of funds from the Redhook Fund Account, each of which reports shall provide Redhook with a summary indicating that PDA and Redhook funds have been drawn in accordance with the fund utilization ratio set forth herein. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Sublease, in the event of a default by Redhook of any of its obligations under this Section 14.6, in addition to any other remedies that the PDA may have under this Sublease or under law, PDA may utilize any remaining funds in the Redhook Fund Account toward the cure of Redhook's default.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Sublease, in satisfying its financing obligation under Subsection (i) of this Section 14.6 PDA shall be free to utilize any grant moneys available to it, or any other moneys available to meet the costs of the improvements to the Xxxxx WWTF made under this Section 14.6, including payments required to be made by the City of Portsmouth pursuant to applicable agreements.

In the event that there is a taking by eminent domain of the whole of the Subleased Premises, this Sublease shall terminate and the entire damages attributable to the land area shall accrue to PDA, and that portion of the damages attributable to the capital improvements or buildings shall be divided between PDA and Redhook in the same priority and on the same basis as the allocation of damages under Section 16.3 relating to leasehold improvements. Any remaining balance from damages shall be payable to PDA.

In the event that there is a taking by eminent domain of a portion of the Subleased Premises, then this Sublease shall terminate as to the portion taken and the amount of the damages attributable to the area taken shall be apportioned between PDA and Redhook in the same manner as set forth in Section 16/61.1. In the event that the taking shall not be of the entire Subleased Premises, but the part of the Subleased Premises remaining shall not be reasonably sufficient and suitable for Redhook's use and occupancy for the purposes permitted hereunder, then Redhook may terminate this Sublease forthwith. If Redhook so determines and terminates this Sublease, the damages shall be divided between PDA and Redhook as follows: (i) FDA shall receive that portion of the damages allocable to the land; (ii) Redhook shall receive a percentage of the remaining damages, after subtracting PDA's land value, that is equal to the ratio of the undepreciated balance of any improvements made by Redhook at its sole expense calculated over their useful life on a straight line basis as compared with the original basis of such improvements by Redhook for federal tax purposes; and (iii) any remaining balance to PDA.
In the event of such partial taking and an election by Redhook not to terminate this Sublease as herein provided, the total amount of damages shall accrue to PDA, and the rental paid by Redhook shall be reduced in the proportion which the area of the portion taken bears to the area demised under the provisions hereof.
16A.3. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Sublease, in the event of a temporary taking i.e., 2 years or less) this Sublease shall not terminate but shall resume at the expiration of the period within which the taking authority exercises dominion of the area subject to the temporary taking, provided, however, that in such event Redhook shall be under no obligation to pay rent for the portion of the Premises that Redhook is unable to use as a result of the taking and shall be allowed to share in any damages to the extent that the award reflects the fair rental value of the property taken and such value exceeds the established rental, including all applicable charges, required to be paid by Redhook to PDA under this Sublease.

All other assignments shall be subject to approval of PDA, which approval shall not be withheld unreasonably.
19.3 Subleases. Redhook may not enter into any sublease of the Subleased Premises without PDA's prior written approval. Any request for PDA's approval shall be made at least thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of such tenancy and shall provide detailed information concerning the identity and financial condition of the proposed sublessee and the terms and conditions of the proposed sublease. PDA shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to such sublease if: (1) the use of the Subleased Premises associated with any sublease(s) is permitted under Article 9, (2) the sublease(s) are consistent with the terms and conditions of this Sublease; provided, however, that Redhook may rent the subleased area at rentals deemed appropriate by Redhook, (3) Redhook remains primarily liable to PDA to pay rent and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Redhook under this Sublease, and (4) the proposed sublessee is financially and operationally responsible.

The acceptance of rent by PDA from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by PDA of any provision hereof. Consent to one assignment or subletting shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. If any assignee of Redhook or any successor of Redhook defaults in the performance of any of the terms hereof, PDA may proceed directly against Redhook without the necessity of exhausting remedies against such assignee or successor. If Redhook assigns this Sublease, or sublets all or a portion of the Subleased Premises, or requests the consent of PDA to any assignment or subletting, or if Redhook requests the consent of PDA for any act that Redhook proposes to do, then Redhook shall pay PDA's reasonable processing fee and reimburse PDA for all reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection therewith.

No Subleasehold Mortgage shall be binding upon PDA arid/or the Air Force in the enforcement of its rights and remedies herein and by law provided, unless, and until a copy thereof shall have been delivered to PDA and the Air Force and such mortgage is authorized under this Section 19.7. PDA and Redhook agree that so long as any authorized Subleasehold Mortgage is a lien on Redhook's estate in the Subleased Premises, the mortgagee or beneficiary thereunder ("Subleasehold Mortgagee") shall have all of the following rights:

(1) If Redhook shall have delivered to PDA prior written notice of the address of any Subleasehold Mortgagee, PDA will give to the Subleasehold Mortgagee a copy of any notice under this Sublease at the time of giving such notice to Redhook, and will give to the Subleasehold Mortgagee notice received by PDA of any rejection of this Sublease by the trustee in bankruptcy of Redhook or by Redhook as debtor-in-possession. In such case no termination of this Sublease or termination of Redhook's right of possession of the Subleased Premises or reletting of the Subleased Premises by PDA predicated on the giving of any notice shall be effective unless PDA gives to the Subleasehold Mortgagee written notice or a copy of its notice to Redhook of such default or termination, as the case may be. Notices, demands and requests from PDA to the Subleasehold Mortgagee shall be mailed to the address given to PDA by certified or registered mail and notices, demands and requests from the Subleasehold Mortgagee to PDA shall be delivered in the manner and to the address as specified in Article 23 hereof.
(2) In the event of any default by Redhook under the provisions of this Sublease, the Subleasehold Mortgagee will have the same concurrent grace periods as are given Redhook for remedying such default or causing it to be remedied, plus, in each case, an additional period of thirty (30) days after the expiration thereof or after FDA has served a notice or a copy of a notice of default upon the Subleasehold Mortgagee, whichever is later.
(3) In the event Redhook shall default under any of the provisions of this Sublease, the Subleasehold Mortgagee, without prejudice to its rights against Redhook, shall have the right to cure such default within the applicable grace periods provided for in the preceding paragraph of this Section whether the same consists of the failure to pay rent or the failure to perform any other matter or thing which Redhook is hereby required to do or perform, and PDA shall accept such performance on the part of the Subleasehold Mortgagee as though the same had been done or performed by Redhook. For such purpose PDA and Redhook hereby authorize the Subleasehold Mortgagee to enter upon the Subleased Premises and to exercise any of Redhook's rights and powers under this Sublease, and subject to the provisions of this Sublease, under the Subleasehold Mortgage.
(4) The term "incurable default" as used herein means any default which cannot be cured by a Subleasehold Mortgagee. The term "curable default" means any default under this Sublease which is not an incurable default. In the event of any curable default under this Sublease, and if prior to the expiration of the applicable grace period specified in subparagraph (2) of this Section, the Subleasehold Mortgagee shall give PDA written notice that it intends to undertake the curing of such default, or to cause the same to be cured, or to exercise its rights to acquire the leasehold interest of Redhook by foreclosure or otherwise, and shall immediately commence and then proceed with all due diligence to do so, whether by performance on behalf of Redhook of its obligations under this Sublease, or by entry on the Subleased Premises by foreclosure or otherwise, then PDA will not terminate or take any action to effect a termination of this Sublease or re-enter, take possession of or relet the Subleased Premises or similarly enforce performance of this Sublease so long as the Subleasehold Mortgagee is, with all due diligence and in good faith, engaged in the curing of such default, or effecting such foreclosure, provided, however, that the Subleasehold
-42-
Mortgagee shall not be required to continue such possession or continue such foreclosure proceedings if such default shall be cured. Nothing herein shall preclude PDA from terminating this Sublease with respect to any additional default which shall occur during the aforesaid period of forbearance and not be remedied within the period of grace, if any, applicable to any such additional default.
(5) In the event that this Sublease is terminated by FDA on account of any incurable default or in the event Redhook's interest under this Sublease shall be sold, assigned, or transferred pursuant to the exercise of any remedy of this Sublease or pursuant to judicial proceedings, and if (i) no rent or other charges shall then be due and payable by Redhook under this Sublease, and (ii) the Subleasehold Mortgagee shall have arranged to the reasonable satisfaction of FDA to cure any curable default of Redhook under this Sublease, then FDA, within thirty (30) days after receiving a written request therefor, which shall be given within sixty (60) days after such termination or transfer and upon payment to it of all expenses, including attorney's fees, incident thereto, PDA will execute and deliver a new lease of the Subleased Premises to the Subleasehold Mortgagee or its nominee or to the purchaser, assignee or transferee, as the case may be, for the remainder of the term of this Sublease, containing the same covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and limitations as are contained herein. Upon the execution and delivery of such new lease, the new tenant, in its own name or in the name of PDA may take all appropriate steps as shall be necessary to remove Redhook from the Subleased Premises, but PDA shall not be subject to any liability for the payment of fees, including reasonable attorney's fees, costs or expenses in connection therewith; and said new tenant shall pay all such fees, including attorney's fees, costs and expenses or, on demand, make reimbursements therefor to PDA.
(6) In the event a default under the Subleasehold Mortgage shall have occurred, the Subleasehold Mortgagee may exercise, with respect to the Subleased Premises, any right, power or remedy under the Subleasehold Mortgage, which is not in conflict with the provisions of this Sublease. Any Subleasehold Mortgagee shall be liable to perform the obligations herein imposed on Redhook only during the period it is in possession or ownership of the leasehold estate created hereby.
(7) This Sublease may be assigned, with the consent of PDA, to or by the Subleasehold Mortgagee or its nominee, pursuant to foreclosure or similar proceedings.
(8) No surrender (except a surrender upon the expiration of the term of this Sublease or upon termination by FDA pursuant and subject to the provisions of this Sublease) by Redhook to PDA of this Sublease, or of the Subleased Premises, or any part thereof, or of any interest therein, and no termination of this Sublease by Redhook shall be valid or effective, and neither this Sublease nor any of the terms hereof may be amended, modified, changed or canceled without prior written consent of the Subleasehold Mortgagee.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Sublease to the contrary, no refinancing of any existing mortgage shall be effective without the advance written approval of PDA.

All such rent and other sums if not paid on the due date shall bear interest from and after the due date thereof at the higher of the then current rate applied to legal judgments by the courts of the State of New Hampshire or the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum; provided, however, that such interest shall in no event exceed the maximum rate permitted by law.
26.2 In all cases the language in all parts of this Sublease shall be construed simply, according to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against PDA or Redhook.
26.3 The word titles underlying the Article designations contained herein are inserted solely for convenience and under no circumstances are they or any of them to be treated or construed as any part of this instrument.
26.4 In any action or proceeding which either Party may take to enforce such Party's rights hereunder, whether prior to or after breach or termination, or to which such Party may be made a Party because of any matters arising or growing out of this Sublease, and due to the act or default of the other, the Party whose act or default caused the other Party, without fault to become involved in such litigation, or who shall be defeated in such litigation, agrees to pay all costs incurred by the winning or other Party therein, including reasonable attorneys' fees.
26.5 If Redhook should remain in possession of the Subleased Premises after the expiration of the term of this Sublease and without executing a new lease, then such holding over shall be construed as a tenancy from month to month, subject to all the conditions, provisions and obligations of this Sublease insofar as the same are applicable to a month to month tenancy.
26.6 The individual executing this Sublease on behalf of Redhook represents and warrants that he or she is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Sublease on behalf of said entity, and that this Sublease is binding upon said entity in accordance with its terms. A Certificate of Corporate Good Standing issued by the New Hampshire Secretary of State is attached to this Sublease as Exhibit F.
26.7 This Sublease covers in full each and every agreement of every kind or nature whatsoever between the Parties hereto concerning the Subleased Premises and all preliminary negotiations and agreements of every kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Subleased Premises; and no other person, firm or corporation has at any time had any authority from PDA to make any representations or promises on behalf of PDA, and Redhook expressly agrees that if any such representations or promises have been made by PDA or others, Redhook hereby waives all right to rely thereon. No verbal agreement or implied covenant shall be held to vary the provisions hereof. any statute, law, or custom to the contrary notwithstanding. No provision of this Sublease may be amended or added
-53-

26.9 Nothing contained in this Sublease shall be deemed or construed by the Parties hereto or by any third person to create the relationship of principal and agent or of partnership or of joint venture or of any association between PDA and Redhook, and neither the method of computation of rent nor any other provision contained in this Sublease nor any acts of the Parties hereto shall be deemed to create any relationship between PDA and Redhook other than the relationship of landlord and tenant.
26.10 Redhook hereby acknowledges that late payment by Redhook to PDA of rent and other sums due under this Sublease will cause PDA to incur additional costs not contemplated by this Sublease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such additional costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed upon PDA by the terms of the mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises. Therefore, if any installment of rent or any other sum due from Redhook shall not be received on the date that such amount shall be due, Redhook agrees to pay, and shall pay, to PDA a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of the overdue amount. The Parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs PDA will incur by reason of late payment by Redhook.

26.14 This instrument may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

26.16 To the extent such rules may apply to the Subleased Premises, Redhook agrees to conform to such additional provisions required, from time to time, by the FAA ("FAA Requirements") or its successor with respect to the operation of the Airport, or a portion thereof. The current FAA Requirements are attached hereto as Exhibit "D" and incorporated herein by reference.

In the event Redhook shall fail to deliver to PDA the Purchase Acceptance within thirty (30) days of the receipt by Redhook of the Offer, or in the event Redhook shall fail to complete the sale of the Subleased Premises or any portion thereof, within sixty (60) days following PDA's receipt of the Purchase Acceptance, Redhook's Right to Purchase shall terminate and PDA shall be free to sell all or any portion of the Subleased Premises upon such terms and conditions as it deems fit.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Sublease, Redhook shall have no right to exercise the Right to Purchase at any time during which Redhook is in Default (as defined in Section 18.1) or if FDA determines, in its sole discretion, that the Subleased Premises should not be offered for sale.
If PDA does not transfer the Subleased Premises or any portion thereof, to a third party within one (1) year of the termination of Redhook's Right to Purchase, the Subleased Premises or any portion thereof, shall again become subject to Redhook's rights of first refusal under this Article 27.
In the event Redhook duly exercises its Right to Purchase under this Article 27, Redhook shall receive a credit against the purchase price equal to ten percent (10%) of the Area Rent paid by Redhook and received by PDA following the expiration of the tenth (10th) year from which Area Rent commenced in accordance with Article 4, provided, however, that (i) in the event the purchase is of a portion of the Subleased Premises the amount of the credit shall be the product obtained by multiplying the allowed ten percent (10%) Area Rent credit by a fraction the numerator of which is the total land area (in square feet) comprising the portion of the Subleased Premises to be sold and the denominator of which is the total land area (in square feet) comprising the Subleased Premises at the time of exercise of Redhook's Right to Purchase; and (ii) in no event shall the credit exceed ten percent (10%) of the purchase price.
