(b) The Purchase Option shall be exercisable by notice to
Lessor given not later than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the Purchase
Date and in any event, unless Lessee shall have exercised the Remarketing Option
with respect to a Property on or before one hundred eighty (180) days prior to
the Lease Term Expiration Date, the Purchase Option shall be deemed exercised
with respect to such Property (in which event the Purchase Date shall be the
Lease Term Expiration Date); provided, however, in the event that Lessee shall
not have refinanced the A Loans in accordance with Section 6.11 of the
Participation Agreement on or before one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the
A Loan Maturity Date, Lessee shall have the same options with respect to the

expire on the A Loan Maturity Date.
(c) On the Purchase Date, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the
amounts set forth in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 5.1(a), as applicable,

to all of the Properties (but not less than all) within five (5) Business Days
following the occurrence of any Lease Event of Default. Notwithstanding the
notice provisions of Section 5.1(b), in the event that Lessee elects to exercise
the Purchase Option within such five Business Day period following the
occurrence of a Lease Event of Default, Lessee's payment to Lessor of the
applicable amounts required pursuant to Section 5.1(a)(iii) on or prior to the
fifth Business Day following the occurrence of a Lease Event of Default shall
constitute sufficient notice. In the event that Lessee shall not pay to Lessor
the applicable amounts required pursuant to Section 5.1(a)(iii) on or prior to
the fifth Business Day following the occurrence of a Lease Event of Default or
in the event that Lessee provides Lessor with written notice of its intention
not to exercise the Purchase Option during such five day period, Lessee's
ability to exercise the Purchase Option shall terminate.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
herein, in the event that the Lease Commencement Date shall have not yet
occurred with respect to both Properties, Lessee may not exercise its Purchase
Option with respect to the Property covered by the Lease unless it concurrently
exercises its purchase option under Section 2.6(ix) of the Construction Agency
Agreement with respect to the other Property or the other Property previously
had been purchased by Construction Agent pursuant to Section 2.6(ix) of the

services or materials furnished or to be furnished to Lessee, or to anyone
holding an interest in either Property or any part thereof through or under
Lessee, and that no mechanics or other Liens for any such labor, services or
materials shall attach to or affect the interest of Lessor, the Investors or the
Lenders in and to either Property.

transfer or amendment, unless Lessor shall have received a certificate of an
authorized officer of Lessee stating that such grant or release, or such
dedication, transfer or amendment, as the case may be, shall not adversely

Property or reduce the fair market value of the Traville Facility or
Manufacturing Facility below the Traville Lease Balance or Manufacturing Lease

-9-
LEASE AGREEMENT (HGSI)
(b) Lessor shall not be required to maintain, repair,
replace, alter, remove or rebuild all or any part of either Property, and Lessee

to any Applicable Laws, insurance requirements, contract, agreement or covenant
in effect at any time during the Lease Term.
(c) Lessee shall pay or cause to be paid all charges for
electricity, power, gas, oil, water, telephone, sanitary sewer and all other
rents and utilities used in or on either Property during the Lease Term. Lessee
shall be entitled to receive any credit or refund with respect to any utility
charge paid by Lessee and received by Lessor on account thereof, net of the
costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Lessor in obtaining such credit or
refund, and, upon receipt by Lessor thereof, such credit or refund shall be
promptly paid over to Lessee.
SECTION 9.2 Alterations.
(a) Lessee may, without the consent of Lessor, at Lessee's
sole cost and expense, make Alterations to a Property, so long as, subject to
Section 9.2(d), such Alterations do not adversely effect the fair market value,
economic life, utility or residual value of such Property. Subject to the terms
of the foregoing proviso, Lessee shall have the right to change and/or seek
variances, exceptions and other exemptions in respect of the Applicable Laws
(including building and/or zoning laws, regulations and agreements) relating to
a Property or any portion thereof.
(b) Lessee shall make all Alterations to each Property
required so as to cause the same to comply with Applicable Laws, and the
limitations on Lessee's right to make Alterations contained in Section 9.2(a)
and Section 9.2(d) shall not be applicable to such Alterations, regardless of
their effect on the fair market value, economic life, utility or residual value
thereof.
(c) Lessee shall cause any Alterations to be done and
completed in a good and workmanlike manner, free from faults and defects, and in
compliance with all Applicable Laws. Lessee shall be responsible for the acts
and omissions of all of its employees and all other Persons performing any of
the Alterations.
(d) Upon Lessee's request (such request, a "Notice of
Alteration"), Lessor shall notify Lessee whether, in Lessor's judgment, an
Alteration proposed by Lessee would adversely effect the fair market value,
economic life, utility or residual value of the applicable Property. Each Notice
of Alteration shall be accompanied with reasonably detailed plans and
specifications. If Lessor in good faith determines that such Alterations would
adversely effect the fair market value, economic life, utility or residual value
of the applicable Property, Lessor shall give notice of its objection (a "Notice
of Objection") within fifteen (15) Business Days after Lessor's receipt of a
Notice of Alterations. If Lessor and Lessee cannot agree whether or not such
Alterations would adversely effect the fair market value, economic life, utility
or residual value of the applicable Property within fifteen (15) Business Days
after Lessee's receipt of a Notice of Objection, an Appraiser reasonably
acceptable to Lessor and Lessee shall resolve the dispute by appraising the
applicable property both with and without such Alterations. Lessee
-10-
LEASE AGREEMENT (HGSI)
shall pay any and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, including reasonable
attorneys' fees (collectively "Mediation Costs") incurred by Lessor or Lessee in
connection with any such dispute between the parties. If Lessor shall prevail in
any such dispute, Lessee shall not proceed to make such Alterations, without the
prior written consent of Lessor.
SECTION 9.3 Title to Alterations. Title to Alterations shall
immediately and without further act vest in Lessor and shall be deemed to
constitute a part of the applicable Property and be subject to this Lease in any
of the following cases:
(a) such Alteration shall be in replacement of or in
substitution for a portion of the applicable Property;
(b) such Alteration shall be required to be made pursuant to
the terms of Section 9.1(a) or Section 9.2(b);
(c) such Alteration shall be Nonseverable; and
(d) such Alteration shall be severable and paid for (i.e.,
with debt and/or equity) by Lessor.
Lessee shall, at Lessor's request, execute and deliver any deeds or assignments
reasonably necessary to evidence the vesting of title in and to such Alterations
in Lessor. If an Alteration is not within any of the categories set forth in
clauses (a) through (d) of this Section 9.3, then title to such Alteration, as
well as any item for which substitution or replacement is made as contemplated
in Section 9.3(a), shall vest in Lessee. So long as removal thereof shall not
result in the violation of any Applicable Laws or this Lease, all Alterations to
which title shall vest in Lessee as aforesaid may be removed at any time by
Lessee, provided that Lessee shall, at its expense, repair any material damage
to either Property caused by the removal of such Alteration and shall restore in
all material respects the affected portion of such Property in accordance with
Section 9.1(a).
SECTION 9.4 Location. Lessee shall not remove, or permit to be
removed, the improvements and equipment comprising either Property or any part
thereof without the prior written consent of Lessor, except that Lessee or any
other Person may remove (a) any Alteration with respect to which title has
passed to or remained with Lessee in accordance with the provisions of Section
9.3, (b) any part of either Property constructed on a temporary basis for the
purpose of repair or maintenance thereof, (c) any part of either Property which
has been replaced by another part which has become subject to this Lease and the
Lien of the Deed of Trust; and (d) any part of either Property which in Lessee's
good faith judgment has become obsolete, whereupon upon written notice to Lessor
and the Administrative Agent such obsolete part shall cease to be subject to
this Lease and the Lien of the Deed of Trust; provided that Lessee repairs any
damage to either Property caused by such removal.
SECTION 9.5 Permitted Contests. Provided no Lease Event of
Default or Bankruptcy Default is continuing, Lessee shall not be required to
comply with any Applicable Law or Land Agreement so long as it is engaged in a
Permitted Contest with respect thereto. At Lessee's expense, Lessor shall
cooperate fully with Lessee in connection with any such test, challenge, appeal
or proceeding and, at Lessee's request, will join in the proceedings or permit
-11-
LEASE AGREEMENT (HGSI)
the proceedings to be brought in Lessor's name. The terms of this Section 9.5
shall qualify each provision of this Lease that impose a compliance obligation
on Lessee (other than an obligation to any Indemnitee), regardless of whether
such provision shall expressly make reference to this Section 9.5.
SECTION 9.6 Environmental Compliance.
(a) Lessee shall comply at all times with Environmental Laws
with respect to each Property, and no Hazardous Material shall be brought onto,
permitted to exist or remain at or upon, or stored, or disposed of from or used,

contractors, licensees, subtenants or invitees in violation of any Applicable
Laws, or in such manner as would result in any liability under any Applicable
Laws (with the exception of materials used or stored in connection with the
operation or maintenance of the property and in compliance with all
Environmental Laws). Lessee shall hold harmless, indemnify and defend the
Indemnitees from and against any Environmental Damages resulting from any breach
of the covenants set forth in this Section 9.6 and from all Environmental
Damages. Lessee's indemnification obligation hereinabove set forth shall survive
the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
(b) The indemnity contained in Section 9.6(a) shall
specifically include the direct obligation of Lessee to promptly perform any
investigatory and/or remedial or other activities required, ordered or
recommended by any Governmental Authority, or as otherwise necessary to avoid
injury or liability to any person or property, to prevent the spread of any
Hazardous Materials, or to provide for the continued safe operation of each
Property (the "Remedial Work"). Without waiving any of its rights pursuant to
the indemnity described in Section 9.6(a), upon failure of Lessee to perform the
Remedial Work in a reasonably prompt manner (subject to Lessee's rights under
Section 9.5). Lessor may, at its option and in its sole discretion, commence
such work itself in compliance with Environmental Laws, and Lessee shall pay all
reasonable costs thereby incurred.
(c) Without limiting Lessee's obligations under Section
9.6(a) or any other provision of this Lease, Lessee shall be solely and
completely responsible for responding to and complying with any administrative
notice, order, request or demand, or any third-party claim or demand relating to
the potential or actual presence of Hazardous Materials on either Property,
except where the contamination was caused solely by Lessor. The responsibility
conferred under this Section 9.6(c) includes responding to such orders on behalf
of Lessor and defending against any assertion of Lessor's financial
responsibility or individual duty to perform under such orders.
(d) "Environmental Damages" shall mean all claims, suits,
judgments, damages (including punitive damages), losses, penalties, fines,
liabilities (including, but not limited to, strict liability), encumbrances and
Liens, and any other costs and expenses, of any kind or nature whatsoever,
whether direct or indirect, joint or several, resulting from (i) any Hazardous
Material existing, released, or threatened to be released, on, in, under, or
near either Property, whether known or unknown and whether arising from historic
or threatened future releases of Hazardous Materials, or (ii) any violation or
alleged violation of any Environmental Law, in either case, including any
attorneys' fees, disbursements, consultants' fees and other costs resulting from
(A) investigation and defense of any alleged claim or demand by any third
-12-
LEASE AGREEMENT (HGSI)
party, (B) claims or directives, notices or requests of any Governmental
Authorities, whether or not the claims or directives, notices or requests are
groundless, false or fraudulent or ultimately defeated, (C) any settlements or
judgments to which Lessee is a party, and (D) rendering both Properties in
compliance with Applicable Laws.
SECTION 9.7 Compliance with Applicable Laws. During the Lease
Term, at Lessee's expense, Lessee shall cause each Property to comply with all
Applicable Laws, whether or not such Applicable Laws shall necessitate
structural changes and/or improvements and/or interfere with the use and
enjoyment of such Property, subject to Section 9.5. Lessee shall also procure,
pay for and maintain all permits, licenses, approvals, certificates and other
authorizations necessary for the operation of its business at each Property from
time to time and its lawful use and occupancy of such Property in connection
therewith, subject to Section 9.5.
SECTION 9.8 Ground Sublease and Land Agreements Compliance.
Subject to Section 9.5, Lessee shall comply with, and shall fully and promptly,
at its own cost and expense, perform all obligations of Lessor under the Ground
Lease and any restrictive covenant, deed restriction or easement of record, as
well as any environmental land use restriction recorded against the Land, to the
extent relating to either Property (collectively, "Land Agreements"), including
the payment of all amounts owed by Lessor thereunder. For so long as no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessee may exercise all rights,
privileges and remedies available to Lessor under the Land Agreements.
SECTION 9.9 Lessee's Right to Enforce Warranties. Provided no
Lease Event of Default or Bankruptcy Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, Lessee (including through its designees), at Lessee's expense, shall

warranty and any other claim that Lessee or Lessor may have under any agreements
pertaining to the construction and/or modification of either Property, as well
as any other rights and claims that may exist by operation of law. Lessor agrees
to cooperate with Lessee, at Lessee's expense, in asserting such rights.
SECTION 9.10 Real Estate Taxes. Subject to Lessee's right in
respect of Permitted Contests, Lessee shall pay all real estate ad valorem and
personal property taxes owed in respect of each Property or any portion thereof,
as well as any payments due under any agreement described in clause (f) of the
definition of Permitted Liens.
ARTICLE X.
USE AND NAMING OF PROPERTY
SECTION 10.1 Use. Each Property may be used for any lawful
purpose; provided, that Lessee shall not use or permit the use of either
Property in any manner that adversely effects the fair market value, economic

the use of either Property or any part thereof for any purpose or in any manner
in violation of any Applicable Laws, subject to the terms of Section 9.5.

commensurate with, and on terms no less favorable than, insurance carried by
other owners or lessees of similar real estate located on the Mid-Atlantic

(other than any obligations expressed herein as surviving the termination of
this Lease) shall terminate as of the date of such purchase, and
ii. Lessor shall convey to Lessee (or its designee) the

(a) Lessee shall fail to make any payment of Base Rent,
Traville Lease Balance, Manufacturing Lease Balance, the Lease Balance, Traville
Residual Value Guaranty Amount, Manufacturing Residual Value Guaranty Amount or
the Residual Value Guaranty Amount when due (Lessor will notify Lessee if such
payment is not received when due, but Lessor will have no liability to Lessee if
it fails to deliver such notice and the Lessor's failure to provide such notice
shall not affect whether the same is a Lease Event of Default hereunder);
(b) Lessee shall fail to make payment of any amount required
hereunder, other than any amount described in Section 18.1(a), and such failure
shall continue for a period of ten (10) days after notice of such failure to

(c) Lessee shall default in the due performance or
observance by it of any term, covenant, condition or agreement on its part to be
performed or observed under any Operative Document to which it is a party (not
otherwise specified in this Section 18.1) and such default shall have continued
unremedied for a period of at least thirty (30) days after receipt of notice by
Lessee from either Lessor or Administrative Agent; provided, however, that if
such default is capable of cure but cannot be cured by payment of money or
cannot be cured by diligent efforts within such thirty (30) day period but such
diligent efforts shall be properly commenced within the cure period and Lessee
is diligently pursuing, and shall continue to pursue diligently, remedy of such
failure, the cure period shall be extended for an additional
-19-
LEASE AGREEMENT (HGSI)
period of time as may be necessary to cure, not to exceed an additional one
hundred and twenty (120) days and not to extend beyond the Lease Term Expiration
Date;
(d) the commencement by Lessee of a voluntary case under any
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in

or the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator or other
similar official for Lessee or a general assignment by Lessee for the benefit of
its creditors; or the filing against Lessee of an involuntary petition in
bankruptcy which results in an order for relief being entered or,
notwithstanding that an order for relief has not been entered, the petition is
not dismissed within ninety (90) days of the date of the filing of the petition,
or the filing under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or relief of
debtors of any petition against Lessee for reorganization, composition,
extension or arrangement with creditors which either (i) results in a finding or
adjudication of insolvency of Lessee or (ii) is not dismissed within ninety (90)
days of the date of the filing of such petition;
(e) any representation, warranty or statement made or
restated by Lessee in this Lease or in any other Operative Document, or in any

which made or restated, and (i) the circumstances rendering such representation
or warranty or statement incorrect shall not be remediable or, (ii) if such
representation or warranty or statement is remediable and Lessee is proceeding
diligently so to remedy, shall continue unremedied for thirty (30) days after
the earlier of: (x) the date on which written notice is delivered by Lessor or
Administrative Agent to Lessee specifying such circumstances and demanding that
they be remedied and (y) the date on which any Authorized Officer of Lessee has
actual knowledge of such incorrectness; provided, however, that if such default
is capable of cure but cannot be cured by payment of money or cannot be cured by
diligent efforts within such thirty (30) day period but such diligent efforts
shall be properly commenced within the cure period and Lessee is diligently
pursuing, and shall continue to pursue diligently, remedy of such failure, the
cure period shall be extended for an additional period of time as may be
necessary to cure, not to exceed an additional one hundred and twenty (120) days
and not to extend beyond the Lease Term Expiration Date.
(f) Lessee shall fail to maintain insurance required by
Section 11; provided that in the event that Lessee is otherwise in full
compliance with its obligations under Section 11, Lessee's failure to timely

constitute a Lease Event of Default unless such failure shall continue for a
period of ten (10) days after notice of such failure to Lessee from Lessor or
the Administrative Agent;
(g) the Lease Event of Default described in the last
sentence of Section 7.2 shall have occurred;

otherwise, of any Indebtedness of HGSI or any of its Subsidiaries having a

condition with respect to such Indebtedness;

occurred;
(o) Lessor's rights pursuant to either Liquid Collateral

respect to the Liquid Collateral shall cease to constitute a first priority
perfected security interest (except as a result of a voluntary release by
Administrative Agent of any Liquid Collateral).
SECTION 18.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Lease Event of
Default and at any time thereafter so long as the same shall be continuing,
Lessor may (subject to Section 18.2(h) and Section 18.2(i) below), at its
option, by notice to Lessee declare this Lease to be in default (and, if such
Lease Event of Default is described in Section 18.1(d), then this Lease shall
automatically be in default and no such declaration shall be required and the
terms of Section 18.2(i) shall be applicable) and do one or more of the
following as Lessor in its sole discretion shall determine:
(a) Lessor may, by notice to Lessee, rescind or terminate
this Lease as of the date specified in such notice; however, (i) no reletting,
reentry or taking of possession of either Property by Lessor will be construed
as an election on Lessor's part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice
of such intention is given to Lessee, (ii) notwithstanding any reletting,
reentry or taking of possession, Lessor may at any time thereafter elect to
terminate this Lease for a continuing Lease Event of Default, and (iii) no act
or thing done by Lessor or any of its agents, representatives or employees and
no agreement accepting a surrender of either Property shall be valid unless the
same be made in writing and executed by Lessor;
-21-
LEASE AGREEMENT (HGSI)
(b) Lessor may (i) demand that Lessee, and Lessee shall upon
the written demand of Lessor, return the Properties promptly to Lessor in the
manner and condition required by, and otherwise in accordance with all of the
provisions of, Section 12.1 as if the Properties were being returned at the end
of the Lease Term, and Lessor shall not be liable for the reimbursement of
Lessee for any costs and expenses incurred by Lessee in connection therewith and
(ii) without prejudice to any other remedy which Lessor may have for possession
of the Properties, enter upon either or both Properties and (to the exclusion of
Lessee) take immediate possession of either or both Properties and expel or
remove Lessee and any other person who may be occupying either or both
Properties (subject to the terms of any nondisturbance agreements with Lessor in
favor of any subtenants), by summary proceedings or otherwise, all without
liability to Lessee for or by reason of such entry or taking of possession,
whether for the restoration of damage to property caused by such taking or
otherwise and, in addition to Lessor's other damages, Lessee shall be
responsible for the reasonable costs and expenses of reletting, including
brokers fees and the costs of any repairs made by Lessor. The provisions of this
Section 18.2(b) shall operate as a notice to quit and shall be deemed to satisfy
any other requirement or provisions of Applicable Laws which may require Lessor
to provide a notice to quit or of Lessor's intention to re-enter either or both
Properties and any such requirements or provisions are hereby waived by Lessee;
(c) Lessor may sell all or any part of the Lessee Collateral
at public or private sale, as Lessor may determine, free and clear of any rights
of Lessee and without any duty to account to Lessee with respect to such action
or inaction or any proceeds with respect thereto (except to the extent
contemplated in clause (ii) of the next succeeding sentence if Lessor shall
elect to exercise its rights thereunder), in which event Lessee's obligation to
pay Base Rent hereunder for periods commencing after the date of such sale shall
be terminated or proportionately reduced, as the case may be (except to the
extent that Base Rent is to be included in computations under Section 18.2(e) if
Lessor shall elect to exercise its rights thereunder). If Lessor shall have sold
all of the Lessee Collateral pursuant to the above terms of this Section
18.2(c), Lessor, in lieu of exercising its rights under Section 18.2(e), may, if
it shall so elect, demand that Lessee pay to Lessor, and Lessee shall pay to
Lessor, on the date of such sale, as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain
and not as a penalty (the parties agreeing that Lessor's actual damages would be
difficult to predict, but the liquidated damages described below represent a
reasonable approximation of such amount), in lieu of Base Rent due for periods
commencing after such date of sale, an amount equal to the excess (if any) of
(i) the Lease Balance, computed as of such date of sale, over (ii) the net
proceeds of such sale;
(d) Lessor may hold, keep idle or lease to others all or any
part of either or both Properties as Lessor in its sole discretion may
determine, free and clear of any rights of Lessee and without any duty to
account to Lessee with respect to such action or inaction or for any proceeds
with respect to such action or inaction, except that Lessee's obligation to pay
Base Rent from and after the occurrence of a Lease Event of Default shall be
reduced by the net proceeds, if any, received by Lessor from leasing either or
both Properties to any Person, or allowing any Person (other than Lessee) to use
either or both Properties for the same periods or any portion thereof;
(e) Lessor may, whether or not Lessor shall have exercised
or shall thereafter at any time exercise any of its rights under Section 18.2(b)
or 18.2(d), but only if one or both of
-22-
LEASE AGREEMENT (HGSI)
the Properties have not been sold under Section 18.2(c), demand, by written
notice to Lessee specifying a date (the "Final Payment Date") not earlier than
ten (10) days after the date of such notice, that Lessee pay to Lessor, and
Lessee shall pay to Lessor, on the Final Payment Date, as liquidated damages for
loss of a bargain and not as a penalty and in consideration of the transfer of
the applicable Property or Properties (the parties agreeing that Lessor's actual
damages would be difficult to predict, but the aforementioned liquidated damages
represent a reasonable approximation of such amount), an amount equal to the sum
of the then outstanding Lease Balance (after taking into account any amounts
received pursuant to this Section 18.2 that are applied in reduction of the
Lease Balance pursuant to the Operative Documents) and all Supplemental Rent
including all amounts payable under any Lessor Hedging Agreement including Break
Costs, then due and payable; upon payment of such sum, if the Lease Balance has
been reduced to zero Lessor shall convey to Lessee the Properties by special
warranty deed free and clear of all Lessor's Liens and the Lien of the Deed of
Trust and the other Operative Documents;
(f) Lessor may retain and apply against Lessor's damages all
sums which Lessor would, absent such Lease Event of Default, be required to pay
to, or turn over to, Lessee pursuant to the terms of this Lease; or
(g) Lessor may exercise any other right or remedy that may
be available to it under Applicable Laws or in equity, or proceed by appropriate
court action (legal or equitable) to enforce the terms hereof or to recover
damages for the breach hereof. Separate suits may be brought to collect any such
damages for any period or periods with respect to which rent shall have accrued,
and such suits shall not in any manner prejudice Lessor's right to collect any
such damages for any subsequent period, or Lessor may defer any such suit until
after the expiration of the Lease Term. in which event such suit shall be deemed
not to have accrued until the expiration of the Lease Term.
(h) [intentionally omitted]
(i) Upon the occurrence of the Lease Event of Default
described in Section 18.1(d) or 18.1(f), whether or not another Lease Event of
Default described in one or more other clauses of Section 18.1 shall have been
or thereafter is declared, this Lease shall terminate immediately without notice
and Lessee shall immediately pay to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lessor,
as and for liquidated damages, an amount equal to the Lease Balance, together
with all Supplemental Rent payable under the Operative Documents, including
Break Costs payable under any Lessor Hedging Agreement.
(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
herein, upon the occurrence of a Lease Event of Default, Lessor shall not
reenter, take possession, foreclose, or sell either of the Properties until the
Purchase Option shall have terminated in accordance with Section 5.1(d).
SECTION 18.3 Proceeds of Sale; Deficiency. All payments received
and amounts held or realized by Lessor at any time when an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing and after the Lease Balance shall have
been accelerated pursuant to this Lease, as well as all payments or amounts then
held or thereafter received by Lessor, except for the
-23-
LEASE AGREEMENT (HGSI)
proceeds of sale pursuant to Section 18.2, shall be distributed forthwith upon
receipt by Lessor in accordance with Article X of the Participation Agreement.
SECTION 18.4 Grant and Foreclosure on Lessee's Estate. Without
limiting any other remedies set forth in this Lease, the following shall apply:
(a) Lessor and Lessee agree that if a Lease Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessor may proceed by a
suit or suits in equity or at law or otherwise, whether for a
foreclosure hereunder as against all or any part of Lessee's interests
in either or both Properties or for the sale of such interest under the
judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, or against
Lessee on a recourse basis for the Lease Balance and all other amounts
due from Lessee hereunder, or for the specific performance granted, or
for the appointment of a receiver pending any foreclosure hereunder or
the sale of the Lessee Collateral, or for the enforcement of any other
appropriate legal or equitable remedy, and at any sale of Lessee's
interest in either or both Properties, as applicable, whether pursuant
to power of sale, foreclosure or otherwise, Lessor may become the
purchaser of such interest or any part thereof, and in such case for the
purpose of making settlement for or payment of the purchase price, shall
be entitled to offset any claims for the indebtedness hereunder and
under the Operative Documents in order that they may be credited as paid
on the purchase price, and Lessor shall be entitled to recover all costs
incident to such proceedings, including attorneys' fees and expenses in
such amounts as may be fixed by the court. In accordance with Applicable
Law and rules of the court, Lessee does hereby assent to the passing and
entry of a decree for the sale of all or any portion of either or both
Properties. Upon any such purchase, such purchaser shall acquire good
title to either or both Properties, as applicable, so purchased, free of
the Lien of this Lease and free of all rights of redemption in favor of
Lessee;
(b) This instrument and the other Operative
Documents will be deemed given to secure not only the Lease Balance,
accrued Rent and all other sums due hereunder, but also future advances
made by Lessor in connection with the transactions contemplated by the
Operative Documents, whether such advances are obligatory or to be made
at the option of Lessor or otherwise to the same extent as if such
future advances were made on the Lease Commencement Date. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, the Lien of this instrument shall be valid as
to all such sums due hereunder, including all future advances, from the
time this instrument is executed.
(c) Without in any way limiting or restricting any
of Lessor's rights, remedies, powers and authorities under this
instrument, and in addition to all of such rights, remedies, powers, and
authorities, if a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, Lessor shall also have and may exercise any and all rights,
remedies, powers and authorities under Applicable Laws upon default in
the payment of the Lease Balance, accrued Rent and all other sums due
hereunder, including, without limitation, any right or remedy available
to it as a secured party under the UCC. Promptly upon Lessor's request,
to the extent any portion of the Lessee Collateral constitutes property
subject to the UCC, Lessor at its option, may give Lessee notice of the
time and place of any public sale of any such property, or of the date
after which any private sale or other
-24-
LEASE AGREEMENT (HGSI)
disposition thereof is to be made, by sending notice by registered or
certified first class mail, postage prepaid, to Lessee at least ten (10)
days before the time of such sale or other disposition. If any notice of
any proposed sale, assignment or transfer by Lessor of any portion of
the Lessee Collateral or any interest therein is required by law, Lessee
conclusively agrees that fifteen (15) days notice to Lessee of the date,
time and place (and, in the case of a private sale, the terms) thereof
is reasonable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all
expenses incurred by Lessor to the extent reimbursable under the UCC,
whether incurred before or after any decree or judgment of foreclosure,
and whether or not enumerated in any other provision of this instrument,
shall be added to the indebtedness secured by this instrument and by the
judgment of foreclosure.
(d) Lessee, for itself and on behalf of all Persons
now or hereafter interested in the Lessee Collateral, voluntarily and
knowingly hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law any and all right to reinstatement or redemption and any and all
other rights under all present and future appraisement, homestead,
moratorium, valuation, exemption, stay, extension, and redemption
statutes, laws or equities now or hereafter existing and all rights or
marshalling in the event of any sale of the Lessee Collateral or any
part hereof or interest therein, and hereby further waives the pleading
of any statute of limitations as a defense to any and all indebtedness
secured by this instrument, and Lessee agrees that no defense, claim or
right based on any thereof will be asserted, or may be enforced, in any
action enforcing or relating to this instrument. Without limited the
generality of the preceding sentence, Lessee, for itself and on behalf
of each and every Person acquiring any interest in or title to the
Lessee Collateral subsequent to the date of this instrument, hereby
irrevocably waives any and all rights of reinstatement or redemption
from sale under any order, judgment or decree of foreclosure of this
instrument or under any power contained herein or under any sale
pursuant to any statute, order, judgment or decree of foreclosure of any
court.
SECTION 18.5 Receipt of a Sufficient Discharge to Purchaser.
Upon any sale of the Lessee Collateral, or any part thereof or interest therein,
whether pursuant to power of sale, foreclosure or otherwise, the receipt of
Lessor or the officer making the sale under judicial proceedings shall be a
sufficient discharge to the purchaser for the purchase money, and such purchaser
shall not be obliged to see to the application thereof.
SECTION 18.6 Sale a Bar Against Lessee. Any sale of the Lessee
Collateral, or any part thereof or interest therein, under or by virtue of this
instrument, whether pursuant to a power of sale, foreclosure or otherwise, shall
forever be a bar against Lessee.
SECTION 18.7 Liabilities to Become Due on Sale. Upon any sale of
the Lessee Collateral, or any portion thereof or interest therein, by reason of
Lessor's exercise of any remedy under or by virtue of this Lease or any other
Operative Document, whether pursuant to power of sale, foreclosure or other
remedy available at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, at the option
of Lessor, if the Lease Balance shall not have been previously declared due and
payable, the Lease Balance and all other indebtedness which this agreement
secures (other than any obligations evidenced by any Lessor Hedging Agreement
except as otherwise provided by the terms thereof) shall immediately become due
and payable together with any interest accrued thereon.
-25-
LEASE AGREEMENT (HGSI)
SECTION 18.8 Provisions Subject to Applicable Law. All rights,
powers and remedies provided in this instrument may be exercised only to the
extent that such exercise does not violate any Applicable Law, and are intended
to be limited to the extent necessary in order not to render this instrument
invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under
the provisions of any Applicable Law. If any term of this instrument or any
application thereof shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this
instrument and any other application of such term shall not be affected thereby.
SECTION 18.9 Survival of Lessee's Obligations. No repossession
of either or both Properties or exercise of any remedy under Section 18.2,
including termination of this Lease, shall, except as specifically provided
therein, relieve Lessee of any of its liabilities and obligations hereunder,
including the obligation to pay Base Rent. In addition, except as specifically
provided therein, Lessee shall be liable, except as otherwise provided above,
for any and all unpaid Rent due hereunder before, after or during the exercise
of any of the foregoing remedies, including all reasonable legal fees and other
costs and expenses incurred by Lessor and the Administrative Agent by reason of
the occurrence of any Lease Event of Default or the exercise of Lessor's
remedies with respect thereto, and including all costs and expenses (excluding
internal in-house costs of the Participants' counsel) incurred in connection
with the return of either or both Properties, as applicable, in the manner and
condition required by, and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of,
Article XII as if such Property or Properties, as applicable, were being
returned at the end of the Lease Term. At any sale of either or both Properties
or any part thereof or any other rights pursuant to Section 18.2, Lessor or the
Administrative Agent may bid for and purchase such property.
SECTION 18.10 Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver; Consents. To the
extent permitted by, and subject to the mandatory requirements of, Applicable
Laws, each and every right, power and remedy herein specifically given to Lessor
or otherwise in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every
other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter
existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and
remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised
from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by
Lessor, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy
shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time
or thereafter any other right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by Lessor
in the exercise of any right, power or remedy or in the pursuit of any remedy
shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of
any default on the part of Lessee or to be an acquiescence therein. Lessor's
consent to any request made by Lessee shall not be deemed to constitute or
preclude the necessity for obtaining Lessor's consent, in the future, to all
similar requests. No express or implied waiver by Lessor of any Lease Event of
Default shall in any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any future or
subsequent Lease Event of Default.
SECTION 18.11 Right to Perform Lessee's Obligations. If a Lease
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessor may perform or
comply with such agreement, and Lessor shall not thereby be deemed to have
waived any default caused by such failure, and the amount of payment required to
be made by Lessee hereunder and made by Lessor on behalf of Lessee, and the
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Lessor (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the performance
-26-
LEASE AGREEMENT (HGSI)
of or compliance with such agreement, as the case may be, together with interest
thereon at the Overdue Rate, shall be deemed Supplemental Rent, payable by
Lessee to Lessor upon demand.
ARTICLE XIX.
HOLDING OVER
SECTION 19.1 Holding Over. If Lessee shall for any reason remain
in possession of a Property after the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease as to such Property (unless such Property is conveyed to Lessee), such
possession shall be as a tenancy at sufferance during which time Lessee shall
continue to pay Supplemental Rent that would be payable by Lessee hereunder were
the Lease then in full force and effect with respect to such Property and Lessee
shall continue to pay Base Rent in an amount equal to 150% of the Base Rent that
would have been payable had the Lease not terminated or expired for each month
or portion thereof after expiration of the Lease. Such Base Rent shall be
payable from time to time upon demand by Lessor. During any period of tenancy at
sufferance, Lessee shall, subject to the second preceding sentence, be obligated
to perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease,
but shall have no rights hereunder other than the right, to the extent given by
law to tenants at sufferance, to continue its occupancy and use of such
Property. Nothing contained in this Article XIX shall constitute the consent,
express or implied, of Lessor to the holding over of Lessee after the expiration
or earlier termination of this Lease as to any Property (unless such Property is
conveyed to Lessee) and nothing contained herein shall be read or construed as
preventing Lessor from maintaining a suit for possession of such Property or
exercising any other remedy available to Lessor at law or in equity.
ARTICLE XX.
GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST
SECTION 20.1 Grant of Lien. Title to each Property shall remain
in Lessor, as security for the obligations of Lessee under this Lease and the
other Operative Documents, and Lessee hereby assigns, grants, pledges, mortgages
and warrants to Lessor, as secured party, for the benefit of Lessor and its
permitted transferees and assignees a Lien in the Lessee Collateral to secure
the payment and performance of all obligations of Lessee now or hereafter
existing under this Lease or any other Operative Document, until such time as
Lessee shall have fulfilled all of its obligations under the Operative
Documents. Upon Lessee's request, Lessor shall at such time as all of the
obligations (other than any contingent obligations) of Lessee under this Lease
and the other Operative Documents have been paid or performed in full with
respect to either or both Properties, execute and deliver termination statements
and other appropriate documentation presented to it in final execution form and
reasonably requested by Lessee, all at Lessee's expense, to evidence Lessor's
release of its Lien in respect of such Property or Properties, as applicable.
Lessee, at its expense, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver all such
instruments and take all such actions as Lessor may request from time to time in
order to further effectuate the terms of this Lease, to carry out the terms
hereof, or to better assure and confirm the rights, powers and remedies of
Lessor hereunder.
SECTION 20.2 Assignment of Lease and Rents. The assignment and
grant of the Lien contained in Section 20.1 above shall constitute an absolute,
present and irrevocable assignment and grant of the subleases, rents, income,
proceeds and benefits of each Property;
-27-
LEASE AGREEMENT (HGSI)
provided that so long as no Lease Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Lessor hereby grants permission to Lessee to collect, receive and
apply such rents, income, proceeds and benefits as they become due and payable,
but not in advance hereof, and in accordance with all of the other terms,
conditions and provisions hereof and of the leases, contracts, agreements and
other instruments with respect to which such payments are made or such other
benefits are conferred. Upon the occurrence of a Lease Event of Default, such
permission shall terminate immediately and automatically, without notice to
Lessee or any other Person. Such assignment shall be fully effective without any
further action on the part of Lessee or Lessor and, upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of a Lease Event of Default hereunder, at Lessor's
option, Lessor shall be entitled to collect, receive and apply all rents,
income, proceeds and benefits from Lessor's Interest, including all right, title
and interest of Lessee in any escrowed sums or deposits or any portion thereof
or interest therein, whether or not Lessor takes possession of the Lessee
Collateral or any part thereof. Lessee further grants to Lessor the right, at
Lessor's option, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Lease Event
of Default hereunder:
(i) to enter upon and take possession of
either or both Properties for the purpose of collecting said
rents, income, proceeds and other benefits;
(ii) to dispossess by the customary summary
proceedings any tenant, purchaser or other Person;
(iii) to let or convey either or both
Properties or any portion thereof or any interest therein;

Lessor shall have no liability for any losses arising from any such investments
or reinvestments.

will be simultaneously executed in multiple counterparts, each of which, when so
executed and delivered, shall constitute an original, fully enforceable

"COUNTERPART NUMBER ONE" shall constitute to the extent applicable, if any,
"chattel paper" or other "collateral" within the meaning of the Uniform
Commercial Code in effect in any jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent or (if

COUNTERPART NUMBER ONE. Lessee and Lessor agree that a notice of this Lease

actions to be taken, as may be necessary or as may be reasonably requested by
Lessor in order to preserve and protect the title of Lessor to the Properties
and Lessor's rights under this Lease.

this Lease or of the leasehold estate created hereby by reason of the fact that

this Lease or such leasehold estate, (b) the free estate in any
