Upon request, Master Tenant will furnish to Landlord and Fee Mortgagee official receipts of the appropriate authority or other proof satisfactory to Landlord evidencing Master Tenant’s payment of Taxes in accordance with the terms hereof. If Master Tenant fails to furnish such receipts or other proof within fifteen (15) business days, Landlord may pay such Taxes, and Master Tenant will reimburse such amount to Landlord, together with any interest, penalties or late fees accrued thereon.
3.2 Tax Contests. Master Tenant or Landlord may contest the amount or validity of any Taxes by appropriate legal proceedings, (subject also to any reasonable conditions of Fee Mortgagee), diligently pursued provided that: (i) Master Tenant or Landlord first makes all such contested payments (which may be made by Master Tenant or Landlord under protest if Master Tenant or Landlord so desires); (ii) neither the Premises nor any part thereof nor any interest therein is placed in any danger of being sold, forfeited, lost or interfered with by virtue of any such contest; (iii) Master Tenant or Landlord has furnished such security, if any, as may be required in the said contest proceedings or as may be reasonably requested by Landlord; and (iv) all expenses (including, without limitation, any fees, penalty or interest) which are assessed or incurred in connection with or as a result of any such proceedings are paid by Master Tenant or Landlord. If during the Term of this Lease Landlord contests the amount or validity of any such Taxes by appropriate legal proceedings and the Taxes with respect to the Premises are reduced as a result thereof, Landlord shall be solely responsible for the expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any such contest proceeding.
3.3 Property Management.

Landlord agrees to work with Master Tenant to resolve any issues with utility providers. In no event will any such failure or cessation be construed as an eviction of Master Tenant or Approved Subtenant or relieve Master Tenant from fulfillment of any covenant in this Lease. Master Tenant is not personally liable or responsible for providing utility sources to anyone, including Approved Subtenant.

3.6 HOA Fees and Expenses.

4. USE AND CONDITION OF PREMISES.
4.1 Permitted Use. Master Tenant must at all times throughout the Term use or cause to be used the Premises solely for residential purposes only and any and all uses pursuant to the Approved Sublease or other lawful uses not prohibited by any restrictive covenants affecting the Premises or the Fee Loan Documents, and Master Tenant may not occupy or use or permit the Premises to be occupied or used for any other purpose. In addition, Master Tenant may not use the Premises or knowingly permit the use or occupancy of the Premises in any manner which: (i) is unlawful or is in violation of any applicable legal, governmental or quasi‑governmental requirement, ordinance or rule; (ii) may be unreasonably dangerous to persons or property; (iii) may invalidate any insurance policy affecting the Premises (whether held by Landlord or Master Tenant) or increase the amount of premiums for any insurance policy affecting the Premises (or any portion thereof); (iv) may create a nuisance (whether public or private) or disturb any other tenant or occupant of any properties surrounding the Premises; or (v) violates any covenants, conditions or restrictions of record affecting the Premises; or (vi) is wasteful of any portion of the Premises.
5.1 Master Tenant’s Repairs. Master Tenant must take commercially reasonable efforts to, or must take commercially reasonable efforts to cause Approved Subtenant, at all times during the Term and, at Master Tenant’s or Approved Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, keep the Premises (including landscaping, , driveways , paths, sidewalks and walkways upon the Premises) in such condition and repair as required by the Approved Sublease. Master Tenant must take commercially reasonable efforts to at all times during the Term and, at Master Tenant’s or Approved Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, further keep and maintain in good order and repair all buildings and improvements as may be situated on the Premises at any time during the Term, or forming part thereof, and their full Equipment and appurtenances, both interior and exterior, structural or nonstructural, ordinary or extraordinary, regardless of how the necessity or desirability for such repairs or replacements may occur or arise. The requirements of the Approved Sublease as to such repair and maintenance shall be the standard hereunder for the Master Tenant or Approved Subtenant; or if there is no such standard specified in the Approved Sublease, then such repairs and maintenance standard shall be determined by Master Tenant, in its sole and absolute discretion. All repairs and replacements must be made by Master Tenant or Approved Subtenant on or before the deadline for such repairs and replacements under the Approved Sublease, if applicable, to the extent such repairs are capable of being made within such period of time. To the extent any such repairs take a longer period of time, provided Master Tenant or Approved Subtenant diligently commences such repairs and diligently pursues such repairs the failure to complete such repairs shall not be deemed a Master Tenant Event of Default hereunder. Except as otherwise provided herein, in the event that the Master Tenant or Approved Subtenant fails to make the repairs or replacements promptly as required herein, Landlord may, at Landlord’s sole option, after notice to Master Tenant and the expiration of 60 days without cure or commencement of cure or remedy by Master Tenant, declare same as a Master Tenant Event of Default hereunder.
MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT – Page 5
6.1 Alterations and Additions.
(a) Right to Make Alterations. At Master Tenant’s or Approved Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, Master Tenant or Approved Subtenant may make any alterations, additions or improvements (collectively “Alterations”) to the Premises permitted under the initial Approved Sublease and any Alterations that do not cause the fair market value and fair rental value (collectively, the “FMV”) of the Premises to be reduced as a result of any such Alterations below the FMV of the Premises which existed immediately prior to such Alterations (“FMV Diminution”) subject to the Landlord’s prior written consent for any structural or other major Alterations, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(b) Diminution of Value. If Landlord reasonably believes the Alterations have caused a FMV Diminution or objects to any proposed Alterations, Landlord must notify Master Tenant in writing within thirty (30) days after completion of such Alterations or notification of proposed Alterations. Any FMV Diminution must be conclusively determined by an appraisal (“Appraisal”) conducted by an independent third party appraiser mutually agreed upon by the parties, which Appraisal shall not take into account any diminution in FMV attributable to a change in market conditions. If the parties are unable to mutually agree upon an independent appraiser, each party shall obtain their own Appraisal and the average FMV of the current Premises shall be obtained by averaging the FMV of the two Appraisals. If FMV Diminution is conclusively established with respect to Alterations that were not approved by Landlord or otherwise permitted under the initial Approved Sublease, then Master Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of the FMV Diminution within sixty (60) days of receipt of the final written Appraisal(s) establishing such FMV Diminution. If the Appraisal(s) conclusively establishes no FMV Diminution will be caused by proposed Alterations, the expenses of the Appraisal(s) will be borne by Landlord and withheld from Rent to the Landlord and such proposed Alterations are deemed permitted and approved.
(c) Master Tenant’s Responsibility. All Alterations must be done in a good and workmanlike manner and must generally consist of new materials. All Alterations, whether temporary or permanent in character, made in or upon the Premises either by Landlord or Master Tenant during the term of this Lease will be Landlord’s property at the end of the Term and shall remain on the Premises without compensation to Master Tenant.

7.1 General Compliance. Master Tenant must, at Master Tenant’s sole cost and expense, promptly observe and comply with (i) all present and future laws (including, without limitation, environmental laws), ordinances, statutes, codes, requirements, orders, directions, rules and regulations of all federal, state, county and municipal governments and of all other governmental authorities having or claiming jurisdiction over the Premises or any appurtenances thereto or any part thereof, and of all the respective departments, bureaus and officials of any such authorities (collectively “Laws”), and (ii) the requirements and regulations of the Board of Fire Underwriters or any other body exercising similar functions, and of all insurance companies issuing policies covering the Premises or any part thereof (collectively, “Regulations”). Master Tenant must substantially comply with the Laws and Regulations regardless of (i) whether the Laws or Regulations are in force at the commencement of the Term of this Lease or may in the future be passed, enacted or directed, and (ii) whether compliance with such Laws and Regulations shall require structural or extraordinary alterations or additions, repairs or replacements to the Premises or any part thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Master Tenant must also procure, at Master Tenant’s sole cost and expense, each and every permit, license, certificate or other authorization required in connection with any building(s) or improvement(s) now or hereafter erected on the Premises or any part thereof, as well as any and all licenses and permits required for Master Tenant’s intended use upon the Premises (collectively the “Permits”). MASTER TENANT AGREES TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS LANDLORD FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL COSTS, EXPENSES AND LIABILITIES FOR ANY ACTIONS OR NON-ACTIONS BY MASTER TENANT WHICH VIOLATE THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION 7.1.
7.2 Americans With Disabilities Act. From and after the Effective Date, Master Tenant must ensure the Premises substantially comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act, as it now exists and as it may hereafter be amended (“ADA”), but only to the extent the ADA is applicable, to the Premises and Master Tenant’s use thereof. Nothing herein constitutes an admission by Landlord or Master Tenant that the ADA governs any part of the Premises or any buildings or improvements thereon or any activities of Landlord or Master Tenant with respect thereto.
7.3 Hazardous Materials. Master Tenant will not at any time maintain on, or dispose or discharge from, the Premises or any part thereof any Hazardous Materials (as such term is defined hereinbelow). Should Master Tenant discover any Hazardous Materials on the Premises in violation of Government Requirements, Master Tenant shall take all steps Master Tenant deems commercially reasonable to cause the Premises to comply with applicable Government Requirements related to such Hazardous Materials. The term “Hazardous Materials” as used in this Lease means, individually and/or collectively, any hazardous or toxic substances, materials and wastes listed in the United States Department of Transportation Hazardous Materials Table (49 CFR 172.101) or by the Environmental Protection Agency as hazardous substances (40 CFR Part 302), as each of the foregoing may be amended and/or supplemented from time to time, or such substances, materials and wastes which are identified as hazardous wastes, hazardous substances or hazardous materials which are or become regulated under any applicable municipal, county, state or federal law, rules or regulations, including (without limitation): (i) any “Hazardous Waste” as defined by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (42 USC Section 6901 et seq.), as amended from time to time, and regulations promulgated thereunder; (ii) any “Hazardous Substance” as defined by the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (42 USC Section 9601 et seq.) as amended from time to time, and regulations promulgated thereunder; (iii) asbestos, (iv) polychlorinated biphenyls; (v) any substance the presence of which is prohibited by any applicable Laws; (vi) any petroleum‑based products which are deemed hazardous by any Laws; (vii) underground storage tanks which are regulated by any Laws; and (viii) any other substance which under Laws require special handling or notification of any federal, state or local governmental entity in its collection, storage, treatment or disposal.

MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT – Page 7
8.1 Prohibitions. Master Tenant may not place or permit to be placed any lien, mortgage or other encumbrance upon any interest of Landlord in the Premises or any part thereof. If Master Tenant causes, suffers or permits any alterations, rebuildings, replacements, changes, additions, improvements or repairs to be made to the Premises or any part thereof, or if Master Tenant causes any labor to be performed or material to be furnished with respect thereto, unless such actions were taken at the behest of the Landlord, then neither Landlord nor Landlord’s interest in the Premises will be liable for the payment of any expense incurred with respect thereto or for the value of any such work done or material furnished. All such alterations, rebuildings, replacements, changes, additions, improvements, repairs, labor and material will be made, furnished and performed at Master Tenant’s sole cost and expense, and Master Tenant will be solely and wholly responsible to contractors, laborers and materialmen furnishing and performing any and all such labor and material.
8.2 Discharge of Liens. If, because of any act or omission (or alleged act or omission) of Master Tenant, any mechanic’s or other lien, charge or order for the payment of money shall be filed or asserted or any proceedings to enforce the same is brought against the Premises or any part thereof or interest therein, or against Landlord (whether or not such lien, charge or order is valid or enforceable as such), unless the same is caused by or contributed to by the actions or inactions of Landlord, Master Tenant must, at Master Tenant’s sole cost and expense, cause the same to be cancelled and discharged of record or bonded around in compliance with applicable law within 30 days after Master Tenant receives notice of the filing thereof. If bonding is not permitted by law, Master Tenant may nevertheless, within such 30 day period, furnish to Landlord and Fee Mortgagee a surety bond, satisfactory to Landlord, against said lien, charge or order, in which case Master Tenant shall have the right in good faith to contest the validity or amount thereof so long as Master Tenant immediately commences and thereafter continuously and diligently prosecutes such contest in accordance with all applicable laws and procedures.
9. INSURANCE. Each of the following provisions shall be applicable, except and to the extent preempted by any conflicting provisions in the Approved Sublease, which shall prevail.
9.1 Homeowners Insurance. Master Tenant is required to maintain a homeowners’ policy on the Premises at all times. All payments for losses under such insurance will be made solely to Master Tenant (or if approved by Master Tenant to its assignee or sublessee) or, if applicable, to the Fee Mortgagee (as required under the Fee Loan Documents), subject to the terms of any subordination, non‑disturbance and attornment agreement between Master Tenant and Fee Mortgagee, as their interests may appear, for restoration.
9.2 Certificates; Renewals. Landlord may request from Master Tenant binders or evidences of all insurance required to be carried by Master Tenant, in a commercially reasonable form, upon the written request of Landlord. In addition, whenever reasonably requested in writing by Landlord, then Master Tenant must also provide evidence that such insurance is in full force and effect and that Landlord is named thereunder as an additional insured and/or loss payee, as applicable.
9.3 Insurance Requirements. All insurance provided by Master Tenant, as applicable, as required by this Section 9 must be procured from financially responsible companies licensed to do business in the state in which the Premises are located. All of such policies must provide for payment of loss thereunder to the applicable parties as provided herein, as their interests appear. All such policies must contain a provision that the insurer will endeavor to provide written notice to such additional insured and/or loss payee at least 30 days prior to any cancellation of such insurance. Master Tenant will ensure that Master Tenant’s insurance contains a provision naming Landlord (and any Fee Mortgagee, if applicable) as an additional insured.
MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT – Page 8
9.4 Insurance Proceeds. Landlord and Master Tenant agree that in the event of loss under the homeowner’s insurance policy or policies maintained pursuant to this Section 9, Master Tenant or Master Tenant’s assignee or sublessee (including the Approved Subtenant if and to the extent so required under the Approved Sublease), as applicable, must proceed with the repair and restoration of the damaged or destroyed buildings and improvements in accordance with Section 10 hereof and that the insurance proceeds in connection with such loss will be paid to and held by Master Tenant or the Fee Mortgagee, if applicable and subject to the terms of any applicable subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement between Master Tenant and such Fee Mortgagee, and such proceeds will be used for payment of such repair and restoration upon receipt of architect’s certificates, contractors’ and subcontractors’ sworn statements, and waivers of lien, all verifying and certifying to the stage of completion of, and payment of such expenses in connection with the repair or restoration work in question. Master Tenant’s obligation to rebuild pursuant to this Section 9.4 and Article 10 are expressly contingent on Master Tenant receiving all Insurance Proceeds necessary to enable Master Tenant to repair or replace the Premises. If Master Tenant does not receive the entirety of the Insurance Proceeds or the Insurance Proceeds are insufficient to complete the repair or replacement of the Premises as required hereunder, Master Tenant shall be entitled to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 1.4. Upon the completion of said repair restoration work, free from all liens of mechanics and materialmen and others, any surplus of insurance monies will be paid to Master Tenant, provided Master Tenant is not in default hereunder. In case this Lease is terminated as a result of any default by Master Tenant under any of the terms and provisions contained in this Lease, all proceeds of insurance not theretofore applied for repair and restoration costs and all claims against insurers will be and become the sole and absolute property of Landlord.
10.1 Total Destruction. If the Premises are totally destroyed by fire or other casualty, then the Lease shall continue, and all Rent will continue to be payable as provided in this Lease. If the Lease continues in accordance with this Section 10.1, then Master Tenant will rebuild the Building and other improvements on the Premises to essentially the same condition in which they existed prior to the damage within a commercially reasonable period of time from the date of such damage or destruction, with the Insurance Proceeds from such destruction, and the Fee Mortgage must allow same. Landlord hereby assigns to Master Tenant all of Landlord’s right, title and interest in and to any such Insurance Proceeds (the “Insurance Proceeds”), and any Fee Loan Documents and Approved Sublease
10.2 Partial Destruction. If the Premises should be partially damaged by fire or other casualty (as specified in the Approved Sublease), Master Tenant will rebuild or repair the Building or other improvements to essentially the same condition in which they existed prior to the damage. Master Tenant shall be entitled to use all Insurance Proceeds from such damage for such restoration, and the Fee Mortgage and Approved Sublease must allow same. Landlord hereby assigns to Master Tenant any and all rights, titles and interests of Landlord in and to any such insurance proceeds, and any Fee Loan Documents and Approved Sublease must allow same.
10.3 Certain Other Remedies. In the event of damage or destruction, Master Tenant shall have the further right (but not the obligation) to enter into possession of the Premises and perform any and all work and labor necessary to repair the Improvements. All amounts so expended by Master Tenant to the extent not covered by insurance proceeds shall be secured by a lien against the Premises. For purposes of fulfilling obligations under this Section 10.3, Landlord hereby constitutes and appoints (which appointment is coupled with an interest and is therefore irrevocable) Master Tenant as Landlord’s attorney‑in‑fact, with full power of substitution to complete the Improvements in the name of Landlord, and hereby empowers Master Tenant, acting as Landlord’s attorney‑in‑fact, as follows: (i) to use any funds of Landlord (or any sums which Landlord may be entitled to receive); (ii) to make such additions and changes and corrections in the plans which shall be necessary or desirable to complete the Improvements in the manner contemplated by the plans; (iii) to negotiate all necessary construction contracts; (iv) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, design professionals and inspectors as shall be required for said purposes; (v) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may be liens against the Premises, or may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the work or the clearing of title; (vi) to execute all the applications and certificates in the name of Landlord which may be required by any construction contract; and (vii) to do any and every act with respect to the construction of the Improvements which Landlord could do in Landlord’s own behalf. Master Tenant, acting as Landlord’s attorney‑in‑fact, shall also have power to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Premises and to take such action and require such performance as is deemed necessary.
MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT – Page 9
(a) Substantial Taking. If all or a substantial part of the Premises are taken or condemned for any public or quasi‑public use under any Law or by right of eminent domain, or by a conveyance in lieu thereof (all of the foregoing being referred to herein as a “Taking”), and the Taking results in a greater than twenty percent (20%) reduction in the rent payable under the Approved Sublease, results in a greater than twenty percent (20%) reduction in rentable square footage of the Premises, or otherwise substantially impairs operations at the Premises (a “Substantial Taking”), then this Lease may be terminated by Master Tenant by thirty (30) days written notice from Master Tenant to Landlord, and upon such termination all obligations of Master Tenant hereunder shall terminate. In the event of a Substantial Taking, Landlord shall be entitled to (i) all awards paid or payable with respect to such Taking, and (ii) recover from the condemning authority any compensation as may be separately awarded on account of moving and relocation expenses and depreciation to and removal of Landlord’s (or its assignee’s or sublessee’s, including the Approved Subtenant) physical property and all other interests and properties for which Landlord (or its assignee or sublessee, including the Approved Subtenant) is entitled to compensation from such condemning authority under common law and applicable statutes, subject to any conflicting provisions of the Approved Sublease. Landlord will assign any such compensation to the Approved Subtenant, if required by the Approved Sublease. If such an event occurs, Landlord waives all claims against the Master Tenant for any damages suffered by such condemnation, damage, destruction, or lease termination.
(b) Non-Substantial Taking. Subject to the Approved Sublease (which Approved Sublease shall in all cases prevail over this Lease), if a Taking is not a Substantial Taking, and such Taking does not prevent or materially and adversely interfere with the Master Tenant’s use of the Premises and the Approved Sublease will not be terminated, this Lease will not terminate and all Rent payable hereunder will continue for the remaining portion of the term of this Lease without adjustment, unless the Approved Subtenant has the right to reduce the rent payable under the Approved Sublease, in which case the Rent shall be reduced pursuant to the requirements of Section 2 hereof. Subject to the rights of any Fee Mortgagee, the net award or other compensation shall be applied to pay the cost of restoration of the Premises in the same manner as provided in Section 9.4 hereof for paying out insurance proceeds. The balance, if any, will belong to Master Tenant. In the event a Taking is not a Substantial Taking, Landlord hereby grants Master Tenant an exclusive non‑revocable, power of attorney coupled with an interest to negotiate, collect, receive and retain any condemnation award and to make any compromise or settlement for such an award deemed necessary by Master Tenant with the appropriate authorities.

MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT – Page 11
(a) Master Tenant Indemnity. Except as otherwise provided under the terms of Section 7.3 hereof, Master Tenant agrees that Master Tenant will not bring onto the Premises any Hazardous Materials. MASTER TENANT HEREBY INDEMNIFIES LANDLORD OF, FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LOSS, COST, DAMAGE OR EXPENSE ARISING FROM THE INTRODUCTION OF ANY HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ONTO THE PREMISES BY MASTER TENANT, OR ANY EMPLOYEE OR AGENT, OFFICER, DIRECTOR, INVITEE OR GUEST OF MASTER TENANT (BUT NOT ANY SUBLESSEE OR ITS GUESTS, INVITEES OR AGENTS). WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, THIS INDEMNITY SPECIFICALLY COVERS COSTS INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY INVESTIGATION OR MONITORING OF SITE CONDITIONS, ANY CLEAN‑UP, CONTAINMENT, REMEDIAL OR RESTORATION WORK REQUIRED OR PERFORMED BY ANY FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY OR POLITICAL SUBDIVISION OR PERFORMED BY ANY NON‑GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY OR PERSON BECAUSE OF THE PRESENCE, SUSPECTED PRESENCE, RELEASE OR SUSPECTED RELEASE OF ANY HAZARDOUS MATERIALS IN OR INTO THE AIR, SOIL, GROUNDWATER OR SURFACE WATER AT, ABOUT, UNDER OR WITHIN THE PREMISES (OR ANY PART THEREOF) AS A RESULT OF THE ACTIONS OF MASTER TENANT OR ITS EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, INVITEES AND GUESTS (BUT NOT ANY SUBLESSEE).
(b) Landlord Indemnity. Except as otherwise provided under the terms of Section 7.3 hereof, Landlord agrees that Landlord will not bring onto the Premises any Hazardous Materials. LANDLORD HEREBY INDEMNIFIES MASTER TENANT OF, FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LOSS, COST, DAMAGE OR EXPENSE ARISING FROM THE INTRODUCTION OF ANY HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ONTO THE PREMISES BY LANDLORD, OR ANY EMPLOYEE OR AGENT, OFFICER, DIRECTOR, INVITEE OR GUEST OF LANDLORD (BUT NOT ANY SUBLESSEE OR ITS GUESTS, INVITEES OR AGENTS). WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, THIS INDEMNITY SPECIFICALLY COVERS COSTS INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY INVESTIGATION OR MONITORING OF SITE CONDITIONS, ANY CLEAN‑UP, CONTAINMENT, REMEDIAL OR RESTORATION WORK REQUIRED OR PERFORMED BY ANY FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY OR POLITICAL SUBDIVISION OR PERFORMED BY ANY NON‑GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY OR PERSON BECAUSE OF THE PRESENCE, SUSPECTED PRESENCE, RELEASE OR SUSPECTED RELEASE OF ANY HAZARDOUS MATERIALS IN OR INTO THE AIR, SOIL, GROUNDWATER OR SURFACE WATER AT, ABOUT, UNDER OR WITHIN THE PREMISES (OR ANY PART THEREOF) AS A RESULT OF THE ACTIONS OF LANDLORD OR ITS EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, INVITEES AND GUESTS (BUT NOT ANY SUBLESSEE).
MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT – Page 12
12.4 Waiver of Liabilities; Waiver of Subrogation. So long as it is permissible to do so under the laws and regulations governing the writing of insurance within the state in which the Premises are located, all insurance carried by either Landlord or Master Tenant (or Master Tenant’s assignee or sublessee) will provide for a waiver of rights of subrogation against Landlord and Master Tenant on the part of the insurance carrier. Unless the waiver contemplated by this sentence is not obtainable for the reasons described in this Section 12.4, Landlord waives any and all rights of recovery, claims, actions or causes of action against Master Tenant (and its assignee or sublessee, if applicable) and any officer, director, owner, partner, employee, agent, contractor, vendor or broker of Master Tenant (and its assignee or sublessee, if applicable) and Master Tenant waives any and all rights of recovery, claims, actions or causes of action against Landlord and any officer, director, owner, partner, employee, agent, contractor, vendor, property manager or broker of Landlord, for any loss or damage to property or any injuries to or death of any person which is covered or would have been covered under the insurance policies required under this Lease. The foregoing release will not apply to losses or damages in excess of actual or required policy limits (whichever is greater) nor to any deductible (up to a maximum of $10,000) applicable under any policy obtained by the waiving party. The failure of either party (the “Defaulting Party”) to take out or maintain any insurance policy required under this Lease will be a defense to any claim asserted by the Defaulting Party against the other party hereto by reason of any loss sustained by the Defaulting Party that would have been covered by any such required policy. The waivers set forth in this Section 12.4 will be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other waivers, indemnities, or exclusions of liability set forth in this Lease.
13. ASSIGNMENTS AND SUBLETTING.
13.1 Landlord’s Consent. Without Landlord’s written consent, Master Tenant may assign, mortgage, pledge, encumber, hypothecate or otherwise transfer or permit the transfer of this Lease or Master Tenant’s interest in this Lease to any Affiliated Tenant (the foregoing being referred to herein as a “Transfer”). For purposes of this Section 13, a Transfer does not include any non‑material change in the ownership or control of Master Tenant (if Master Tenant is a corporation, a partnership or any other entity or a transfer of less than all of Master Tenant’s interest under this Lease). Any attempted Transfer by Master Tenant in violation of the terms and covenants of this Section 13 will be void. Any assignee or sublessee of all of Master Tenant’s interest in this Lease which is approved and permitted pursuant hereto must expressly accept and assume in writing all of the applicable obligations of Master Tenant hereunder. Landlord hereby acknowledges that a lease to the Approved Sublessee is not a transfer. Landlord expressly acknowledges and agrees that should the existing Approved Sublease terminate for any reason, Master Tenant shall have the right to sublease the Premises to a replacement tenant and that the such replacement tenant will also be referred to herein as an Approved Subtenant.
13.2 Procedure. If Master Tenant desires to effect a transfer (other than to the Approved Subtenant or in compliance with Section 13.1 above), then Master Tenant must deliver written notice of such intent to Landlord, together with a copy of the proposed instrument of assignment or sublease, at least 15 days prior to the proposed Transfer date. Landlord will use reasonable efforts to respond to Master Tenant’s request to assign this Lease or enter into a sublease of the Premises within 10 days of receipt of such written notice. The failure of Landlord to respond within such 10 day period shall constitute Landlord’s acceptance of such request.
MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT – Page 13
13.3 Effect of Approved Sale as Assignment or Approved Sublease. If Landlord approves any Transfer which effectuates a complete assignment or other transfer of all of Master Tenant’s interest under this Lease hereunder, Master Tenant will be released and discharged from any and all liabilities or obligations (whether past, present or future) under this Lease (including under any Extension Term of this Lease). If the rental rate agreed upon between Master Tenant and any proposed subtenant (including Approved Subtenant) under any proposed sublease (including the Approved Sublease) of the Premises (or any part thereof) is greater than the rental rate that Master Tenant must pay Landlord hereunder for that portion of the Premises that is subject to such proposed sublease, or if any consideration is received by Master Tenant in connection with any such proposed Transfer (in addition to rental as provided in any such proposed sublease), then all of such excess rental or such consideration, as the case may be (or both), will be the exclusive property of Master Tenant. All Transfers of less than all of Master Tenant’s interest under this Lease which are approved and permitted pursuant hereto will be subject and subordinate to this Lease (including any amendment hereto or modification, extension, renewal or replacement hereof) and all of the terms and covenants hereof; all Transfers of all of Master Tenant’s interests under this Lease which are approved and permitted pursuant hereto will be in full assumption by such assignee and full release of Master Tenant of all liabilities and obligations hereunder. Landlord agrees to, and each Fee Mortgagee will, enter into any reasonable recognition agreement requested by Master Tenant or any assignee or sublessee, which will have priority over the subordination and termination provisions of this Lease. The covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 13 will run with the Land and will bind Master Tenant and Master Tenant’s heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, representatives in any bankruptcy proceeding, successors and assigns. Upon the occurrence of a Master Tenant Event of Default and the termination of this Lease, but subject to any subordination, non‑disturbance and attornment agreement or recognition agreement executed by Landlord, any Fee Mortgagee, and Master Tenant or any assignee or sublessee, if the Premises or any part thereof are then assigned or sublet, Landlord, in addition to any other remedy herein provided or provided at law or in equity, may at Landlord’s option collect directly from any such assignee or sublessee all rents becoming due to Master Tenant under such assignment or sublease and apply such rent against any sums due to Landlord and Fee Mortgagee, if applicable, from Master Tenant hereunder.
14.1 Master Tenant Events of Default. Each of the following occurrences will constitute an “Master Tenant Event of Default” by Master Tenant under this Lease: (i) Master Tenant fails to pay any installment of Base Rent, or any other sum or payment to Landlord as and when due and such failure continues for a period of twenty (20) days after Landlord delivers written notice thereof to Master Tenant; (ii) any other material failure or material default in the performance of any of the other covenants, agreements, conditions or undertakings herein contained to be kept, observed and performed by Master Tenant and such material failure or material default continues for a period of 30 days after Landlord delivers written notice thereof to Master Tenant; provided, however, if such default is not capable of being cured within such thirty (30) day period, provided the Master Tenant commences such cure and diligently pursues cure, such time shall be extended to allow Master Tenant to complete such cure; (iii) Master Tenant generally does not pay its debts as they become due or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts, or Master Tenant files a petition in voluntary bankruptcy under the Federal Bankruptcy Act or similar law, state or federal, whether now or hereafter existing, or Master Tenant files an answer admitting insolvency or inability to pay Master Tenant’s debts, or Master Tenant fails to obtain a vacation or stay of involuntary proceedings in bankruptcy or insolvency within 90 days after the filing of same (as hereinafter provided), or Master Tenant is adjudicated a bankrupt, or a trustee or receiver shall be appointed for Master Tenant or for all of Master Tenant’s property or the major part thereof, or any court has taken jurisdiction of the property of Master Tenant or the major part thereof in any involuntary proceeding for reorganization, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of Master Tenant, and such trustee or receiver shall not be discharged or such jurisdiction relinquished or vacated or stayed on appeal or otherwise removed within 90 days after such appointment; (iv) Master Tenant makes an assignment for the benefit of Master Tenant’s creditors; (v) Master Tenant abandons all of its interest in the Premises pursuant to this Lease; (vi) Master Tenant fails to discharge any lien or encumbrance placed or suffered upon the Premises by Master Tenant’s actions or inactions in violation of the terms and conditions of this Lease within ninety (90) days after such lien or encumbrance is filed against the Premises; provided, however, Master Tenant shall be allowed to dispute such claim and such disputed claim shall not be a Master Tenant Event of Default if Master Tenant diligently disputes such claim or otherwise bonds over such claim; (vii) Master Tenant fails to make Fee Mortgage Debt Service Payments within the time period required thereunder for payment, including any notice and cure periods contained in the Fee Loan Documents; or (viii) Master Tenant fails to make Fee Mortgage Expense payments within the time period required thereunder for payment, including any notice and cure periods contained in the Fee Loan Documents, for a period of five (5) business days after receiving written notification of such failure from Landlord
MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT – Page 14
14.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Master Tenant Event of Default under this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to make the election specified in Section 1.4(b) hereof.
14.3 Landlord’s Remedies Exclusive. The right, power and remedy of Landlord as provided for in Section 1.4(b) of this Lease will be the sole and exclusive remedy of Landlord under this Lease, and every other right, power or remedy now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise are hereby waived in all respects.
15.1 Landlord Events of Default. Each of the following occurrences will constitute an “Landlord Event of Default” by Landlord under this Lease: (i) Landlord fails to pay any other sum or payment under the Lease to Master Tenant as and when due and such failure continues for a period of twenty (20) days after Master Tenant delivers written notice thereof to Landlord; (ii) any other failure or default in the performance of any of the other covenants, agreements, conditions or undertakings under the Lease to be kept, observed and performed by Landlord and such failure or default continues for a period of 30 days after Master Tenant delivers written notice thereof to Landlord; (iii) Landlord generally does not pay its debts as they become due or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts, or Landlord files a petition in voluntary bankruptcy under the Federal Bankruptcy Act or similar law, state or federal, whether now or hereafter existing, or Landlord files an answer admitting insolvency or inability to pay Landlord’s debts, or Landlord fails to obtain a vacation or stay of involuntary proceedings in bankruptcy or insolvency within 60 days after the filing of same (as hereinafter provided), or Landlord is adjudicated a bankrupt, or a trustee or receiver shall be appointed for Landlord or for all of Landlord’s property or the major part thereof, or any court has taken jurisdiction of the properties of Landlord or the major part thereof in any involuntary proceeding for reorganization, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of Landlord, and such trustee or receiver shall not be discharged or such jurisdiction relinquished or vacated or stayed on appeal or otherwise removed within 60 days after such appointment; (iv) Landlord makes a general assignment for the benefit of Landlord’s creditors; (v) Landlord abandons all of its interest in the Premises pursuant to this Lease; (vi) Landlord fails to discharge any lien or encumbrance placed or suffered upon the Premises by Landlord’s actions or inactions in violation of the terms and conditions of this Lease within ninety (90) days after such lien or encumbrance is filed against the Premises; (vii) any default by Landlord under the Fee Loan Documents, except for those covenants hereof which are made the responsibility of Master Tenant under this Lease; or (viii) any default by Landlord under the Approved Sublease, except for those covenants hereof which are made the responsibility of Master Tenant, unless Landlord fails to convey information to Master Tenant necessary for Master Tenant to fulfill the Landlord’s obligations under the Approved Sublease.
15.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Landlord Event of Default under this Lease, Master Tenant shall have the right to make the election specified in Section 1.4(a) hereof, and seek any other remedies available at law or in equity.
MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT – Page 15
16. QUIET ENJOYMENT; RIGHT OF ENTRY. So long as Master Tenant faithfully and timely performs all the agreements, terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, Master Tenant’s quiet and peaceful enjoyment of the Premises will not be disturbed or interfered with by Landlord, or any party claiming by, through or under Landlord, subject to the terms and provisions of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord will have the right, at all reasonable times during the Term, to enter the Premises upon two days’ prior notice and subject to any other requirements in any assignment or sublease, for the purpose of inspecting the Premises, so long as the exercise of such right does not unreasonably interfere with Master Tenant’s or any sublessee’s or assignee’s (including the Approved Subtenant’s) occupancy and use of the Premises.
17. TENANT’S WAIVER OF STATUTORY AND OTHER RIGHTS.

Landlord and Master Tenant agree that this Lease is a true lease and does not represent a financing arrangement, joint venture, management arrangement, or any arrangement other than a true lease.

28. LIMITATION OF LANDLORD’S LIABILITY. As used in this Lease, the term “Landlord” means the entity herein named as such, together with such entity’s successors and assigns. No person holding Landlord’s interest under this Lease (whether or not such person is named as the “Landlord”) shall have any liability hereunder after such person ceases to hold such interest, except for any liability accruing hereunder while such person held such interest. Except as otherwise provided herein, no principal, officer, director, shareholder, employee, agent, representative or partner (general or limited) or member or manager of Landlord will have any personal liability under any provision of this Lease.

29.1 Power of Attorney. In addition to Master Tenant’s other rights and remedies, whether hereunder or in law or equity, Master Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to exercise the rights as attorney‑in‑fact as provided below. Landlord hereby constitutes and appoints (which appointment is coupled with an interest and is therefore irrevocable) Master Tenant as Landlord’s true and lawful attorney in fact, with full power of substitution, and hereby empowers Master Tenant, acting as Landlord’s attorney in fact, at any time after the Effective Date, as follows: (i) to use any funds due to Landlord, including any balance which may be unadvanced under the Fee Loan Documents, and in any other escrow held by Fee Mortgagee for benefit of Landlord; (ii) to continue and perform any of Landlord’s rights or obligations under the Approved Sublease and the Fee Loan Documents including renegotiating, amending and modifying the terms thereof; (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, design professionals, and inspectors as shall be necessary or desirable for said purposes; (iv) to pay, settle, or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may be liens against the Premises; (v) to execute all the applications and certificates in the name of Landlord which may be required by any governmental authority; (vi) to do any and every act with respect to the Premises which Landlord could do in Landlord’s own behalf; and (vii) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Premises and to take such action and require such performance as is deemed necessary or desirable. The power of attorney under this Section shall terminate upon the termination of the Lease in full or upon foreclosure of the Fee Loan Documents. Master Tenant shall incur no liability if any action taken by it as attorney‑in‑fact as permitted above shall prove to be inadequate, invalid, or poor judgment, so long as Master Tenant did not act with willful misconduct. SUBJECT TO SECTION 12.1, LANDLORD AGREES TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD TENANT HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY LOSS, COST, LIABILITY, OR EXPENSE (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES) INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACTION (EXCLUDING TENANT’S WILLFUL MISCONDUCT). THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL APPLY WITH RESPECT TO MATTERS WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART ARE CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF THE NEGLIGENCE OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SOLE, COMPARATIVE, OR CONTRIBUTORY) OF TENANT, BUT SHALL NOT APPLY TO MATTERS TO THE EXTENT SUCH MATTERS ARE CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF THE WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF TENANT.

No Exchange shall be effective unless (i) Fee Mortgagee shall have consented in writing to such Exchange Offer and related modifications to the Note, Fee Mortgage and other Loan documents and this Lease, and (ii) in the event that any certificates or securities issued with respect to the Loan shall have been rated by S&P, Xxxxx’x or any other rating agency, then such rating agencies shall have confirmed in writing that the substitution of the Substitute Premises for the Premises will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the certificates or securities evidencing such indebtedness, and all costs of obtaining such confirmation shall be paid by Master Tenant. The Exchange Right shall be deemed conditional upon the satisfaction of the following conditions within ninety (90) days from the date of Landlord’s receipt of the Exchange Right Request: (i) Landlord’s written approval of the Exchange Right Request; (ii) Landlord shall convey or cause to be conveyed title to the Premises to Master Tenant, and Master Tenant shall convey or cause to be conveyed title to the Substitute Premises to Landlord; (iii) Landlord and Fee Mortgagee shall enter into a modification of the Fee Mortgage and such other of the Loan Documents as shall be necessary in order to (A) release the Premises from the lien of the Fee Mortgage and from being encumbered by any of the other loan documents, (B) spread the lien of the Fee Mortgage and any of the other applicable loan documents so as to encumber the Substitute Premises as a first lien, and (C) cause all of the applicable provisions in the loan documents to cease to relate to the Premises (e.g., by partial release of any Fee Mortgage), but instead to relate to the Substitute Premises, as if this Lease shall have demised the Substitute Premises at the time the Loan contemplated by the Fee Mortgage and other loan documents was closed, mutatis mutandis; and (iv) in the event that the debt to Fee Mortgagee shall have been deposited with a trust, which trust shall have sold certificates to investors evidencing an ownership interest in the trust assets, or securities collateralized by the debt shall have been sold to investors, S&P (and/or any other rating agency then rating such certificates or securities) shall have confirmed in writing that the substitution of the Substitute Premises for the Premises will not result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating then assigned to such certificates or securities. Upon the completion of the conveyance of the Substitute Premises to the Landlord, this Lease shall be modified (in a manner satisfactory to Fee Mortgagee and Landlord) to reflect the substitution of the Substitute Premises for the Premises and in such other respects as may be necessary as a result of the exchange of the Premises for the Substitute Premises, but in all other respects this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, and the parties shall enter into and record a new Notice or Memorandum of Lease similar to the one executed in connection with the execution of this Lease. Upon conveyance of the Substitute Premises to Landlord, Landlord shall requisition the proceeds of the Loan from the Fee Mortgagee which shall have not theretofore been disbursed, and upon approval of such disbursement request, Fee Mortgagee shall remit or cause to be remitted said proceeds to Master Tenant. The title to the Substitute Premises shall be free of liens and encumbrances except for those which are specifically accepted by Landlord and Fee Mortgagee, and the costs and fees with respect to the conveyance of the Premises to the Master Tenant and the conveyance of such Substitute Premises to the Landlord (including, without limitation, counsel fees, escrow fees, recording fees, title insurance premiums, transfer taxes and all other applicable taxes (other than any income or franchise taxes of Landlord; provided, that if the Premises are located in Texas, then the Master Tenant shall pay the Landlord the amount of all franchise taxes, if any, payable by Landlord as a result of or with respect to such exchange and conveyance based upon the then applicable franchise tax rate); provided, further, however, that (i) Landlord acknowledges that it shall be responsible for the timely preparation and filing of any applicable Texas franchise tax filings and reports, (ii) after the end of the calendar year to which such franchise taxes are attributable, Landlord shall request reimbursement for the Master Tenant’s pro rata portion (the “Master Tenant’s Portion”) of Texas franchise taxes that may be due from Master Tenant under this Section 29.2(b) by sending Master Tenant (directed to the attention of Director of Property Tax, or such other person as Master Tenant may designate) a copy of the related return and other documentation sufficient to substantiate the Master Tenant Portion and Master Tenant shall remit reimbursement for such Master Tenant Portion within forty-five (45) days thereafter, (iii) Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to identify and claim any applicable credits, deductions, and exemptions available to Landlord to reduce or eliminate any such liability, however, the Landlord’s failure to identify and claim applicable credits, deductions and exemptions shall not limit Master Tenant’s obligations to pay Landlord such Texas franchise taxes, and (iv) Master Tenant’s obligation to pay such franchise taxes shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease) shall be borne by Master Tenant.
