It is understood that as to the contingencies in (vii) and (viii) above, that the Sublessee may at its option waive such contingency(ies) and permit the term of the Sublease to commence with a punch list of items to be performed by the Sublessor and reserving the right to xxx for the reasonable cost to complete such work.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sublessee shall have the right without the Sublessor’s consent, to assign this Sublease to a business entity that succeeds to the Sublessee as a result of a merger or consolidation and/or to a business entity that acquires all or substantially all of the Sublessee’s assets provided that such assignment is bona fide and is not being made for the purpose of avoiding the assignment restrictions in this Sublease. The term control as used herein means the power to directly or indirectly direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of the Sublessee. The consent of the Master Landlord and all other approvals and consents required under the Master Lease shall also be required in connection with any assignment or sublease. No assignment or subletting shall relieve the Sublessee of its primary liability under this Sublease. The consent by the Sublessor and/or the Master Landlord to any assignment or subletting shall not render unnecessary consent to any further assignment or subletting. The Sublessor shall reasonably cooperate with the Sublessee’s efforts to promptly obtain the Master Landlord’s consent to the extent required under the Master Lease provided that the Sublessor has consented to same (which Sublessor’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In the event that the Sublessee desires to assign or sublet and such assignment or sublease would trigger the payment of a security deposit under Section 21 of the Master Lease, to the extent such payment has not been waived by the Master Landlord pursuant to the terms of the SNDA and provided that the Master Landlord will not require the payment of same from the Sublessor, then the Sublessee shall be responsible for the payment thereof.
11
11. Alterations/Improvements. The Sublessee shall not be permitted to make any alterations, improvements or changes to the Subleased Premises without the Sublessor’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Sublessor hereby grants its consent to the initial alterations proposed by the Sublessee pursuant to the plans attached hereto as Exhibit C, subject to compliance with the other provisions of this Paragraph, and the Sublessor will not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to any modifications made by the Sublessee to such initial alteration plans. In addition it shall be the Sublessee’s responsibility (the Sublessor to assist in using reasonable efforts to obtain such consent as provided in the last sentence of this Section 11) to obtain the approval of the Master Landlord and obtain all required approvals and comply with the provisions of the Master Lease with respect to any alterations or improvements, including without limitation Section 13 of the Master Lease. It is understood that to the extent the Sublessee’s use requires modifications to the Subleased Premises in order to comply with applicable laws, codes, ordinances, rules and regulations, including without limitation ADA, the Sublessee shall be responsible for such compliance at the Sublessee’s expense. Before any alterations or improvements are made to the Subleased Premises the Sublessee shall obtain all necessary consents hereunder and the Master Lease. It is understood that if the Master Landlord, to the extent provided in the Master Lease, requires the removal of any improvements or alterations performed by or for the Sublessee or any restoration, the Sublessee shall be responsible for such removal and restoration. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Sublessor’s consent shall not be required and shall be deemed given to any alterations or improvements to which the Master Landlord consents in writing provided that the Sublessor shall have no responsibility whatsoever for said alterations and improvements and will not have any removal or restoration obligations with respect thereto. The Sublessor represents and warrants to the Sublessee that there have been no alterations or improvements that were made to the Subleased Premises prior to the commencement of the Term of this Sublease that the Sublessor is required to remove and restore upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Master Lease. Prior to the commencement of this Sublease, the Sublessor shall use reasonable efforts to obtain from the Master Landlord an estoppel certificate confirming the foregoing representation. The Sublessor shall reasonably cooperate with the Sublessee’s efforts to obtain the Master Landlord’s consent, approval or other action under the Master Lease and Master Landlord’s written agreement that the alterations need not be removed at the expiration of the Sublease term relative to any such alterations proposed to be made by the Sublessee, provided however, it is understood that the Sublessor shall not have liability with respect thereto. With respect to any work required under this Sublease to be completed by the Sublessor, such shall be subject to obtaining the prior written consent of the Master Landlord to the extent required by the Master Lease, and the Sublessor shall use reasonable efforts to obtain from the Master Landlord such consent and agreement that the alterations need not be removed at the expiration of the Sublease term, to the extent required by the Master Lease.
12. Utilities. The Sublessee shall arrange for its own accounts with the utility providers and pay when due directly to the utility providers the cost of all natural gas, heat, cooling, energy, light, power, sewer service, telephone, water, refuse disposal and other utilities and services supplied to the Subleased Premises during the Term of this Sublease.
13. Brokerage. The Sublessee and the Sublessor each represent and warrant to the other that it has not dealt with any real estate broker in connection with this transaction, except
12
Xxxxx & Xxxxx (“G&E”) and The Xxxxxxx Organization (“Xxxxxxx”) (collectively the “Brokers”). The Sublessor shall be responsible for the commission to G&E in the amount set forth in the separate agreement between the Sublessor and G&E. Xxxxxxx will be paid a co-broker commission by G&E pursuant to a separate agreement between G&E and Xxxxxxx. Each party hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other with respect to any costs or expenses incurred by the indemnified party by reason of a breach of the foregoing representation by the indemnifying party. This paragraph shall survive any expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease.
14. No Option to Renew. It is understood that Section 5(b) of the Master Lease as to Option to Renew shall not be applicable with respect to this Sublease. The Sublessee shall not have any option or right to extend the term of this Sublease. The Sublessee shall negotiate with the Master Landlord a direct lease between the Sublessee and the Master Landlord for any period after the expiration date of this Sublease, and the Sublessor shall have no liability for periods after said expiration date. The Sublessor shall not exercise the extension option contained in Section 5(b) of the Master Lease unless such may be exercised separately without extending the Master Lease as to the Subleased Premises.
15. Option to Purchase. The Sublessee shall not have the right to exercise the Option to Purchase contained in the Master Lease unless the Sublessee obtains the waiver of the Automatic Renewal Clause in Section 5(b) of the Master Lease in the event the Option to Purchase is exercised on less than all of the Leased Premises under the Master Lease. The Sublessor is not willing to have the term of the Master Lease extended beyond May 31, 2017. If the Automatic Renewal is waived by the Master Landlord, the Sublessee shall (to the extent permitted by the Master Landlord) have the right to exercise the Option to Purchase as provided under Section 34 of the Master Lease provided that the Sublessee shall be responsible for all costs and expenses whatsoever with respect to said purchase, and the Sublessor shall have no liability whatsoever with respect thereto. The Sublessor shall not exercise the option to purchase on the Other Premises under the Master Lease unless the automatic renewal provisions are not applicable as to the Subleased Premises.
16. Environmental. The Sublessee shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Substance to be brought upon, kept or used in or about the Subleased Premises except for reasonable amounts of such Hazardous Substance necessary in the ordinary course of the Sublessee’s business, provided that the Sublessee complies with all applicable Environmental Laws. Except to the extent same is the Sublessor’s responsibility pursuant to the indemnification set forth below, the Sublessee shall be responsible for compliance with the Master Lease as to environmental matters. The Sublessee hereby indemnifies the Sublessor and agrees to hold the Sublessor harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, injuries, fines, costs, expenses including without limitation attorneys fees and costs of investigation, and claims of any and every kind whatsoever paid, incurred or suffered by, or asserted against the Sublessor for, with respect to, or as a direct or indirect result of the presence on or under, or the escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission, discharging or release of any Hazardous Substance first brought to the Subleased Premises during the Term of this Sublease (including, without limitation, any losses, liabilities, damages, injuries, costs, expenses or claims asserted or arising under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, any
13
so-called “Superfund” or “Superlien” law, or any other federal, state or local statute, law, ordinance, code, rule, regulation, order or decree regulating, relating to or imposing liability or standards of conduct concerning any Hazardous Substance) upon, within or over the Subleased Premises by the Sublessee, or its agents, contractors, employees or invitees or arising as a result of the Sublessee’s use of the Subleased Premises. The Sublessor hereby indemnifies the Sublessee and agrees to hold the Sublessee harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, injuries, fines, costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees and costs of investigation, and claims of any and every kind whatsoever paid, incurred or suffered by, or asserted against the Sublessee for, with respect to, or as a direct or indirect result of the presence on or under, or the escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission, discharging or release of any Hazardous Substance in violation of applicable Environmental Laws which was first brought to the Subleased Premises prior to the commencement of the Term of this Sublease (including, without limitation, any losses, liabilities, damages, injuries, costs, expenses or claims asserted or arising under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, any so-called “Superfund” or “Superlien” law, or any other federal, state or local statute, law, ordinance, code, rule, regulation, order or decrees regulating, relating to or imposing liability or standards on conduct concerning any Hazardous Substance) upon, within or over the Subleased Premises by the Sublessor, or its agents, contractors, employees or invitees or arising as a result of the Sublessor’s use of the Subleased Premises. For purposes herein, the term “Hazardous Substance” and “Environmental Law” shall have the meaning given to these terms in the Master Lease. The provisions of this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Sublease.
17. Notices. All notices required or permitted under this Sublease shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly served if and when delivered by hand or mailed by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by recognized overnight courier as follows or to such other address as either party may designate in writing to the other:

18. Access. The Sublessor acknowledges the secure nature of the Sublessee’s business. The Sublessor and/or its agents may enter the Subleased Premises to inspect the same, make repairs or for any other reasonable purpose, provided however that such access shall be subject to the Sublessee’s standard security procedures, including, but not limited to the Sublessor providing reasonable advance notice, the Sublessor’s representatives’ clearance through the Sublessee’s security department and the Sublessor’s representatives being escorted by the Sublessee’s representatives through the Subleased Premises, provided however that compliance with such procedures shall not be used by the Sublessee to prevent reasonable access to the Subleased Premises by the Sublessor and its representatives nor access in case of emergency, provided that the Sublessor uses reasonable efforts to keep the Subleased Premises secure and to maintain the Sublessee’s confidentiality during such emergency access. The Master Landlord shall have such access rights as provided in the Master Lease.
19. Inapplicable Provisions. It is understood that Articles 1, 3(a), (b), and (c), 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 00, 00 (xx to Articles 9, 10 and 11, except as expressly provided in this Sublease), 12, 15 (except as expressly provided in this Sublease), 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 29, 30, 31, 34 (except as expressly provided in this Sublease) and 35 and portions of Exhibit A referring to premises other than the Subleased Premises and Exhibits D, E and F of the Master Lease and all provisions relating to the Other Premises contained in the Master Lease are not applicable to this Sublease.
20. Miscellaneous. This Sublease Agreement may not be amended, altered or modified, except by an instrument in writing executed by the Sublessor and the Sublessee. This Sublease shall be governed by the laws of New Jersey. The Sublessee and the Sublessor represent and warrant to the other that each has full right and authority to enter into this Sublease and to perform all of its respective obligations hereunder (subject to obtaining the consent of the Master Landlord to this Sublease) and that all persons signing this Lease on its behalf are authorized to do so. All obligations of the Sublessee hereunder not fully performed as of the expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Sublease shall survive the expiration or the termination of the term hereof, including without limitation the payment of any amount due hereunder that has not been determined or paid as of the expiration or termination of this Sublease. The indemnification obligations of the Sublessee under this Sublease shall survive the expiration or termination of this Sublease. If any clause, phrase, provision or portion of this Sublease or the application thereof to any persons or circumstances shall be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, such event shall not affect, impair or render invalid or
15
unenforceable the remainder of this Sublease nor any other clause, phrase, provision or portion hereof, nor shall it affect the application of any clause, phrase, provision or portion hereof to other persons or circumstances and it is also the intention of the parties to this Sublease that in lieu of each such clause, phrase, provision or portion of this Sublease that is invalid or unenforceable, there be added as a part of this Sublease a clause, phrase, provision or portion as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable clause, phrase, provision or portion as may be possible and be valid and enforceable. The captions inserted in this Sublease are for convenience only and no way define, limit or otherwise describe the scope or intent of this Sublease or any provisions hereof. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Sublease shall have the meanings as set forth in the Master Lease.
21. Late Payment. In the event any payment due by the Sublessee required under this Sublease is paid more than five (5) days after the due date thereof, the Sublessee shall pay to the Sublessor late charges in the amount of 5% of the unpaid amount and interest on such amounts due by the Sublessee that were not timely paid at the rate of 3% over the Prime Rate from the date due until paid. It is expressly confirmed that any amounts due under the Master Lease relating to late payment by the Sublessor of amounts due under the Master Lease and not as a result of late payment by the Sublessee under this Sublease shall be the responsibility of the Sublessor hereunder.
22. Attorney’s Fees. In the event of any litigation under this Sublease between the Sublessor and the Sublessee, the prevailing party shall be permitted to recover its court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees from the other.
23. Damage and Destruction. If the Subleased Premises are damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, the Sublessee shall provide the Master Landlord and the Sublessor prompt notice thereof, and if such damage or destruction is to the extent of not less than 50% of the value of the improvements above foundation and such damage could not reasonably be repaired and restored within 180 days after the date of such damage or destruction, the Sublessee shall have the right to terminate this Sublease provided that the Sublessee makes such election by written notice to the Sublessor within thirty (30) days after the date of the damage or destruction. In the event the Sublessee has elected to terminate this Sublease, then the Sublessee shall assign to the Sublessor all of the Sublessee’s rights to all of the insurance proceeds (except for proceeds arising from the Sublessee’s insurance on its personal property, tenant improvements, trade fixtures, inventory and other Sublessee owned personal property) with respect to said damage, and the Sublessee shall have no obligation to adjust losses or restore the Subleased Premises. In the event that the Sublease is not terminated as provided above, then the Sublessee shall be responsible to cause the Subleased Premises to be repaired and restored in accordance with Sections 17(a), 17(c) and 19 of the Master Lease, provided that if the Master Landlord and/or its lender fails to make the proceeds of such insurance available for repair and restoration, then the Sublessee shall not be required to so repair and restore. There shall be no abatement or reduction of any rent or any Monetary Obligations under this Sublease as a result of such casualty. In the event the Sublease is not terminated, if under the Master Lease the Sublessor is permitted to hold the insurance proceeds, then such proceeds shall be held only by a depositary mutually agreed between the Sublessor and the Sublessee.
16
24. Condemnation. If any material part of the Subleased Premises is taken in connection with any eminent domain or condemnation which in the Sublessee’s reasonable opinion materially adversely impairs the operation of the Sublessee’s business from the Subleased Premises, then the Sublessee shall have the right to terminate this Sublease provided that the Sublessee makes such election by written notice to the Sublessee within thirty (30) days after the Sublessee’s receipt of a Condemnation Notice. The Sublessee shall have no right to or interest in any awards in connection with said condemnation except the Sublessee may make a separate claim against the condemnor on account of the Sublessee’s trade fixtures, equipment or other tangible property, moving expenses or loss of business, if available, so long as such does not reduce the award(s) payable to the Master Landlord and/or the Sublessor. If the Sublease is not terminated, there shall be no reduction or abatement in rent or any Monetary Obligations under this Sublease. Further, in the event the Sublease is not terminated, it shall be the Sublessee’s obligation to repair and restore the Subleased Premises as provided in the Master Lease and shall be permitted to have use of the portions of the award made available under the Master Lease for such repair and restoration. The Sublessee shall comply with the provisions in the Master Lease with respect to repair and restoration, including without limitation Section 19 of the Master Lease if the Sublease is not terminated. If the Sublease is terminated then all rights to awards (except for the amounts relating to the Sublessee’s separate claim as provided above for the Sublessee’s trade fixtures, equipment or other tangible property, moving expenses or loss of business) shall be assigned to the Sublessor and/or the Master Landlord as required by the Master Lease and the Sublessee shall have no obligation to adjust losses or restore the Subleased Premises.
25. Surrender. Subject to the provisions in the last sentence of this Paragraph, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease, unless the Sublessee has entered into a direct lease with the Master Landlord, the Sublessee shall peaceably leave and surrender the Subleased Premises to the Master Landlord and/or the Sublessor, as the case may be, in the same order and condition as delivered at the time of the commencement of the Term of this Sublease, ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire and other casualty not required to be repaired or restored by the Sublessee excepted, provided that even if a direct lease is entered into between the Master Landlord and the Sublessee, the Sublessee shall remain liable to cause the Subleased Premises to be in the aforementioned condition, but shall not be required to vacate same. Upon such surrender, the Sublessee shall remove from the Subleased Premises all property which is owned by the Sublessee or third parties other than the Master Landlord and any alterations, if any, which the Sublessee is required to remove pursuant to the terms of this Sublease, and shall repair any damage caused by such removal. The Sublessor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Sublessee shall not be obligated at the end of the Term to remove any of the alterations shown on the plans attached hereto as Exhibit C or any modifications thereto or other alterations approved by the Sublessor in accordance with this Sublease, provided that if the Master Landlord requires removal and restoration, the Sublessee shall at the Sublessee’s expense be responsible for said removal and restoration.
26. Default. The occurrence of any one and more of the following shall, at the option of the Sublessor, constitute an “Event of Default” under this Sublease:
17
A. A failure by the Sublessee to make any payment of Base Rent when due and such failure continues for five (5) days after written notice of such failure;
B. A failure by the Sublessee to make any payment of any Monetary Obligation other than Base Rent within five (5) days after written notice of such failure;
C. A failure by the Sublessee to duly perform and observe, or a violation or breach of, any other provision of the Sublease not otherwise specifically mentioned in Paragraph 26 which failure continues for thirty (30) days from the date on which written notice of such failure is given or, if such default cannot be cured within such thirty (30) day period and delay in the exercise of a remedy would not (in the Sublessor’s reasonable judgment) cause any material adverse harm to the Sublessor or the Subleased Premises, the cure period shall be extended for the period reasonably required to cure the default provided that the Sublessee shall commence to cure the default within said thirty (30) day period and shall actively, diligently and in good faith proceed with and continue the curing of the default until it shall be fully cured;
D. The Sublessee shall (i) voluntarily be adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, (ii) seek or consent to the appointment of a receiver or trustee for itself or for the Subleased Premises, (iii) file a petition seeking relief under the bankruptcy or other similar laws of the United States, any state or any jurisdiction, (iv) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or (iv) be unable to pay its debts as they mature;
E. A court shall enter an order, judgment or decree appointing without the consent of the Sublessee a petition filed against the Sublessee which seeks relief under the bankruptcy or other similar laws of the United States, any state or any jurisdiction, and such order, judgment or decree shall remain undischarged or unstayed sixty (60) days after it is entered;
F. The Subleased Premises shall have been vacated or abandoned;
G. The Sublessee shall be liquidated or dissolved or shall begin proceedings towards its liquidation or dissolution; or
H. The estate or interest of the Sublessee in the Subleased Premises shall be levied upon or attached in any proceeding and such estate or interest is about to be sold or transferred or such process shall not be vacated or discharged within sixty (60) days after it is made.
If an Event of Default occurs, the Sublessor shall have all rights and remedies available at law or equity. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Sublessor shall have the right
18
(but no obligation) to perform any act required of the Sublessee hereunder at the Sublessee’s expense, and if performance of such act requires that the Sublessor enter the Subleased Premises, the Sublessor’s access to the Subleased Premises for such purpose shall be governed by the provisions of Paragraph 18.
27. Regarding the Master Lease. The Sublessor represents and warrants that a true and complete copy of the Master Lease as of the date hereof is annexed hereto as Exhibit A. The Sublessor represents to the Sublessee that, as of the date hereof, (i) the Master Lease is unmodified and is in full force and effect, (ii) all “Basic Rent,” “Additional Rent” and Impositions (as such terms are used in the Master Lease) and other amounts, if any, due and payable by the Sublessor under the Master Lease as of the Commencement Date have been paid in full, (iii) to the Sublessor’s knowledge, neither Master Landlord nor the Sublessor is in default under the Master Lease, (iv) no act or omission of the Sublessor has occurred that would entitle the Master Landlord to terminate the Master Lease, (v) the Sublessor has not received any notices of default from Master Landlord that have not been cured and (vi) the Master Lease evidences the entire written agreement between the Sublessor and Master Landlord with respect to the Subleased Premises.

30. Early Access. After the full execution of this Sublease, the Sublessee shall be permitted to have reasonable access to the Subleased Premises for the purposes of taking measurements and for the preparation of construction and/or as-built drawings, but the Sublessee shall not be permitted to do or cause any construction and the Sublessee shall not be permitted to move or cause to be moved any of its property into the Subleased Premises until the Commencement Date, except for minor tools and equipment necessary in the preparation of the construction and/or as-built drawings, provided that such property is upon the Subleased Premises at the sole risk of the Sublessee and the Sublessor shall have no liability with respect to damage or loss thereof. Prior to such entry, the Sublessee shall provide to the Sublessor a certificate of insurance to evidence that the liability insurance required by this Sublease is in effect, the remaining insurance to be in effect on or before the Commencement Date.

Landlord shall not be required to make any repair, whether foreseen or unforeseen, or to maintain any of the Related Premises or Adjoining Property in any way, and Tenant hereby expressly waives any right which may be provided for in any Law now or hereafter in effect to make repairs at the expense of Landlord or to require Landlord to make repairs.

13. Alterations and Improvements.
(a) Tenant shall have the right, without having obtained the prior written consent of Landlord and Lender and provided that no Event of Default then exists, (i) to make non-structural Alterations or a series of related non-structural Alterations that, as to any such Alterations or series of related Alterations, do not cost in excess of $250,000 with respect to any Related Premises in any Lease Year and (ii) to install Equipment in the Improvements or accessions to the Equipment that, as to such Equipment or accessions, do not cost in excess of $250,000 with respect to any Related Premises in any Lease Year, so long as at the time of construction or installation of any such Equipment or Alterations no Event of Default exists and the value and utility of the Leased Premises is not diminished thereby. If the cost of any non-structural Alterations, series of related non-structural Alterations, Equipment or accessions thereto is in excess of $250,000 with respect to any Related Premises in any Lease Year, or if Tenant desires to make structural Alterations to any Related Premises, the prior written approval of Landlord and Lender shall be required, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant shall not construct upon the Land any additional buildings without having first obtained the prior written consent of Landlord and Lender which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to remove any Alterations except for those Alterations required by Law or for which Landlord has agreed in writing that removal will not be required. At the time Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to construct an Alteration, Landlord shall, if requested by Tenant, address whether the Alteration must be removed or not at the end of the Term, which removal shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.
(b) If Tenant makes any Alterations pursuant to this Paragraph 13 or as required by Paragraph 12 or 17 (such Alterations and actions being hereinafter collectively referred to as “Work”), then (i) the market value of the Leased Premises shall not be lessened by any such Work or its usefulness impaired, (ii) all such Work shall be performed by Tenant in a good and workmanlike manner, (iii) all such Work shall be expeditiously completed in compliance with all Legal Requirements, (iv) all such Work shall comply with the requirements of all insurance policies required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder, (v) if any such Work involves the replacement of Equipment or parts thereto, all replacement Equipment or parts shall have a value and useful life equal to the greater of (A) the value and useful life on the date hereof of the Equipment being replaced or (B) the value and useful life of the Equipment being replaced immediately prior to the occurrence of the event which required its replacement (assuming such replaced Equipment was then in the condition required by this Lease), (vi) Tenant shall promptly discharge or remove all liens filed against any of the Leased Premises arising out of such Work, (vii) Tenant shall procure and pay for all permits and licenses required in connection with any such Work, (viii) all such Work shall be the property of Landlord and shall be subject to this Lease, and Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord any document requested by Landlord evidencing the assignment to Landlord of all estate, right, title and interest (other than the leasehold estate created hereby) of Tenant or any other Person thereto or therein, and (ix) Tenant shall comply, to the extent requested by Landlord or required by this Lease, with the provisions of Paragraphs 12(a) and 19(a), whether or not such Work involves restoration of the Leased Premises.
16
14. Permitted Contests. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, Tenant shall not be required to (a) pay any Imposition, (b) discharge or remove any lien referred to in Paragraph 11 or 13 or (c) take any action with respect to any encroachment, violation, hindrance, obstruction or impairment referred to in Paragraph 12(b) (such non-compliance with the terms hereof being hereinafter referred to collectively as “Permitted Violations”), so long as at the time of such non-compliance no Event of Default exists and so long as Tenant shall contest, in good faith, the existence, amount or validity thereof, the amount of the damages caused thereby, or the extent of its or Landlord’s liability therefor by appropriate proceedings which shall operate during the pendency thereof to prevent or stay (i) the collection of, or other realization upon, the Permitted Violation so contested, (ii) the sale, forfeiture or loss of any of the Leased Premises or any Rent to satisfy or to pay any damages caused by any Permitted Violation, (iii) any interference with the use or occupancy of any of the Leased Premises, (iv) any interference with the payment of any Rent, or (v) the cancellation or increase in the rate of any insurance policy or a statement by the carrier that coverage will be denied. Tenant shall provide Landlord security or other evidence of Tenant’s financial wherewithal which is satisfactory, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, to assure that such Permitted Violation is corrected, including all Costs, interest and penalties that may be incurred or become due in connection therewith. While any proceedings which comply with the requirements of this Paragraph 14 are pending and the required security is held by Landlord or satisfactory evidence of Tenant’s financial wherewithal has been provided, Landlord shall not have the right to correct any Permitted Violation thereby being contested unless Landlord is required by law to correct such Permitted Violation and Tenant’s contest does not prevent or stay such requirement as to Landlord. Each such contest shall be promptly and diligently prosecuted by Tenant to a final conclusion, except that Tenant, so long as the conditions of this Paragraph 14 are at all times complied with, has the right to attempt to settle or compromise such contest through negotiations. Tenant shall pay any and all losses, judgments, decrees and Costs in connection with any such contest and shall, promptly after the final determination of such contest, fully pay and discharge the amounts which shall be levied, assessed, charged or imposed or be determined to be payable therein or in connection therewith, together with all penalties, fines, interest and Costs thereof or in connection therewith, and perform all acts the performance of which shall be ordered or decreed as a result thereof. No such contest shall subject Landlord to the risk of any civil or criminal liability.
15. Indemnification.
(a) Except with respect to the gross negligence or willful acts or omissions of Landlord, Tenant shall pay, protect, indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless Landlord, Lender and all other Persons described in Paragraph 30 (each an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages (including punitive damages), penalties, Costs (including attorneys’ fees and costs), causes of action, suits, claims, demands or judgments of any nature whatsoever, howsoever caused, without regard to the form of action and whether based on strict liability, gross negligence, negligence or any other theory of recovery at law or in equity, arising from (i) any matter pertaining to the ownership, leasing, use, non-use, occupancy, operation, management, condition, design, construction, maintenance, repair or restoration of any of the Leased Premises or Adjoining Property, (ii) any casualty in any manner arising from any of the Leased Premises or Adjoining Property, whether or not Indemnitee has or should have knowledge or notice of any defect or condition causing or contributing to said casualty, (iii) any violation by Tenant of any provision of this Lease, any contract or agreement to which Tenant is a party and which affects the Leased Premises or Landlord, any Legal Requirement or any Permitted Encumbrance or any encumbrance Tenant consented to or the Mortgage or Assignment
17

In the event of a conflict of interest or dispute or during the continuance of an Event of Default, Landlord shall have the right to select counsel, and the reasonable cost of such counsel shall be paid by Tenant.
(c) The obligations of Tenant under this Paragraph 15 shall survive any termination, expiration or rejection in bankruptcy of this Lease.

(iii) Worker’s compensation insurance covering all persons employed by Tenant in connection with any work done on or about any of the Leased Premises for which claims for death, disease or bodily injury may be asserted against Landlord, Tenant or any of the Leased Premises or, in lieu of such Workers’ Compensation Insurance, a program of self-insurance complying with the rules, regulations and requirements of the appropriate agency of the State or States in which the Leased Premises are located.
(iv) Comprehensive Boiler and Machinery Insurance on any of the Equipment or any other equipment on or in the Leased Premises in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per accident for damage to property. Either such Boiler and Machinery policy or the All-Risk policy required in (i) above shall include at least $3,000,000 per incidence for Off-Premises Service Interruption, Expediting Expenses, Ammonia Contamination, and Hazardous Materials Clean-up Expense and may contain a deductible not to exceed $50,000.

(vii) Such other insurance (or other terms with respect to any insurance required pursuant to this Paragraph 16, including without limitation amounts of coverage, form of mortgagee clause) on or in connection with any of the Leased Premises as Landlord or Lender may reasonably require, which at the time is usual and commonly obtained in connection with properties similar in type of building size, use and location to the Leased Premises.
(b) To the extent Tenant is required to carry the insurance required by Paragraph 16(a), such insurance shall be written by companies which have a Best’s rating of B+:VIII or above or a comparable claims paying ability assigned by Standard & Poor’s Corporation or equivalent rating agency approved by Landlord and Lender and are admitted in, and approved to write insurance policies by, the State Insurance Department for the States in which the Leased Premises are located. Provided Tenant is required to maintain such insurance, the insurance policies (i) shall be for such terms as Landlord may reasonably approve and (ii) shall be in amounts sufficient at all times to satisfy any coinsurance requirements thereof. To the extent Lessee is required to carry the insurance required under Paragraph 16(a), the insurance referred to in Paragraphs 16(a)(i), 16(a)(iv) and 16(a)(vi) shall name Landlord as Owner and Lender as loss payee and Tenant as its interest may appear, and the insurance referred to in Paragraph 16(a)(ii) (except for the Business Automobile Liability Insurance) shall name Landlord and Tenant as additional insureds, and the insurance referred to in Paragraph 16(a)(v) shall name Landlord as insured and Lender and Landlord as loss payee.

19
failure or impairment of the capital of any insurer, or if for any other reason whatsoever said insurance shall become reasonably unsatisfactory to Landlord, Tenant shall immediately obtain new or additional insurance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.
(c) Each insurance policy referred to in clauses (i), (iv), (v) and (vi) of Paragraph 16(a) shall contain standard non-contributory mortgagee clauses in favor of and acceptable to Lender. Each policy required by any provision of Paragraph 16(a), except clause (iii) thereof, shall provide that it may not be cancelled substantially modified or allowed to lapse on any renewal date except after thirty (30) days’ prior notice to Landlord and Lender. Each such policy shall also provide that any loss otherwise payable thereunder shall be payable notwithstanding (i) any act or omission of Landlord or Tenant which might, absent such provision, result in a forfeiture of all or a part of such insurance payment, (ii) the occupation or use of any of the Leased Premises for purposes more hazardous than those permitted by the provisions of such policy, (iii) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken by Lender pursuant to any provision of the Mortgage, Note, Assignment or other document evidencing or securing the Loan upon the happening of an event of default therein or (iv) any change in title to or ownership of any of the Leased Premises.
(d) Tenant shall pay as they become due all premiums for the insurance required by Paragraph 16(a), shall renew or replace each policy and deliver to Landlord evidence of the payment of the full premium therefor or installment then due at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration date of such policy, and shall promptly deliver to Landlord original certificates evidencing such insurance or, if required by Lender, certified copies of such policies.
(e) Any insurance which Tenant is required to obtain pursuant to Paragraph 16(a) may be carried under a “blanket” or umbrella policy or policies covering other properties or liabilities of Tenant, provided that such “blanket” or umbrella policy or policies otherwise comply with the provisions of this Paragraph 16 and provided further that Tenant shall provide to Landlord a Statement of Values which shall be reviewed annually and amended as necessary based on Replacement Cost Valuations. A certificate evidencing such insurance or, if requested by Lender, a certified copy of each such “blanket” or umbrella policy shall promptly be delivered to Landlord.
(f) Tenant shall have the replacement cost and insurable value of the Improvements and Equipment determined from time to time as required by the replacement cost and agreed amount endorsements and shall deliver to Landlord the new replacement cost and agreed amount endorsement or certificate evidencing such endorsement promptly upon Tenant’s receipt thereof.
(g) Tenant shall promptly comply with and conform in all material respects to (i) all provisions of each insurance policy required by this Paragraph 16 and (ii) all reasonable requirements of the insurers thereunder applicable to Landlord, Tenant or any of the Leased Premises or to the use, manner of use, occupancy, possession, operation, maintenance, alteration or repair of any of the Leased Premises, even if such compliance necessitates Alterations or results in interference with the use or enjoyment of any of the Leased Premises.
(h) Tenant shall not carry separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of a Casualty with that required in this Paragraph 16 unless (i) Landlord and Lender are included therein as named insureds, with loss payable as provided herein, and (ii) such separate insurance complies with the other provisions of this Paragraph 16. Tenant shall
20
immediately notify Landlord of such separate insurance and shall deliver to Landlord certified copies thereof.
(i) Tenant waives all rights of subrogation against the Landlord as may be applicable to any insurer and will enforce such waivers in policy provisions.
(j) All proceeds of any insurance required under Paragraph 16(a) shall be payable as follows:
(i) Proceeds payable under clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of Paragraph 16(a) and proceeds attributable to the general liability coverage of Builder’s Risk insurance under clause (vi) of Paragraph 16(a) shall be payable to the Person entitled to receive such proceeds.
(ii) Proceeds of insurance required under clause (i) of Paragraph 16(a) and proceeds attributable to Builder’s Risk insurance (other than its general liability coverage provisions) under clause (vi) of Paragraph 16(a) shall be payable by Landlord or Lender and applied as set forth in Paragraph 17 or, if applicable, Paragraph 18. Tenant shall apply the Net Award to restoration of the Leased Premises in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Lease unless a Termination Event shall have occurred and Tenant has given a Termination Notice.
(k) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, it is understood that so long as the Guarantor maintains a net worth of at least $100,000,000, then Tenant shall be permitted to self-insure any of the coverages required by Paragraph 16(a) above, shall be permitted to decline to carry any of said coverages and shall not be bound by the deductible limits set forth therein. The remaining provisions of Paragraphs 16(b)-(j) shall only be applicable to the insurance policies as required under Paragraph 16(a) above in the event that the Guarantor fails to maintain a net worth of at least $100,000,000, provided, however, that to the extent that Tenant does maintain insurance policies with respect to any of the risks described in Paragraph 16(a), the provisions of Paragraph 16(b) as to the naming of loss payees and additional insureds, and Paragraphs 16(c), 16(d), 16(g), 16(h), 16(i) and 16(j) shall be applicable thereto. It is understood that with respect to any losses which are self-insured or for which there is not insurance coverage, Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of such losses. In the event that any Casualty shall occur at such time as Tenant shall not be required to maintain third-party insurance coverage, if the Restoration Fund is held by Lender, Tenant shall deposit into the Restoration Fund the amount of the proceeds that would have been payable into the Restoration Fund had such a third-party insurance program been in effect.
17. Casualty and Condemnation.
(a) If any Casualty occurs to any Related Premises, Tenant shall give Landlord and Lender prompt notice thereof. So long as no Event of Default exists Tenant is hereby authorized to adjust, collect and compromise all claims under any of the insurance policies required by Paragraph 16(a) (except public liability insurance claims payable to a Person other than Tenant, Landlord or Lender) and to execute and deliver on behalf of Landlord all necessary proofs of loss, receipts, vouchers and releases required by the insurers and Landlord shall have the right to join with Tenant therein. Any final adjustment, settlement or compromise of any claim in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand ($250,000) Dollars shall be subject to the prior written approval of Landlord, and Landlord shall have the right to prosecute or contest, or to require Tenant to prosecute or contest, any such claim, adjustment, settlement or compromise.
21
If an Event of Default exists, Tenant shall not be entitled to adjust, collect or compromise any such claim or to participate with Landlord in any adjustment, collection and compromise of the Net Award payable in connection with a Casualty. Tenant agrees to sign, upon the request of Landlord, all proper proofs of loss, receipts, vouchers and releases. Each insurer is hereby authorized and directed to make payment under said policies directly to Landlord or, if required by the Mortgage, to Lender instead of to Landlord and Tenant jointly. The rights of Landlord under this Paragraph 17(a) shall be extended to Lender if and to the extent that any Mortgage so provides.
(b) Tenant, promptly upon receiving a Condemnation Notice, shall notify Landlord and Lender thereof. So long as no Event of Default exists, Tenant is authorized to collect, settle and compromise the amount of any Net Award and Landlord shall have the right to join with Tenant herein. If an Event of Default exists, Landlord shall be authorized to collect, settle and compromise the amount of any Net Award and Tenant shall not be entitled to participate with Landlord in any Condemnation proceeding or negotiations under threat thereof or to contest the Condemnation or the amount of the Net Award therefor. No agreement with any condemnor in settlement or under threat of any Condemnation shall be made by Tenant without the written consent of Landlord. Subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 17(b) Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns to Landlord any award or payment to which Tenant is or may be entitled by reason of any Condemnation, whether the same shall be paid or payable for Tenant’s leasehold interest hereunder or otherwise; but nothing in this Lease shall impair Tenant’s right to any award or payment on account of Tenant’s trade fixtures, equipment or other tangible property which is not part of the Equipment, moving expenses or loss of business, if available, to the extent that and so long as (i) Tenant shall have the right to make, and does make, a separate claim therefor against the condemnor and (ii) such claim does not in any way reduce either the amount of the award otherwise payable to Landlord for the Condemnation of Landlord’s fee interest in the Leased Premises or the amount of the award (if any) otherwise payable for the Condemnation of Tenant’s leasehold interest hereunder. The rights of Landlord under this Paragraph 17(b) shall also be extended to Lender and if and to the extent that any Mortgage so provides.
(c) If any Partial Casualty (whether or not insured against) or Partial Condemnation shall occur to any Related Premises, this Lease shall continue, notwithstanding such event, and there shall be no abatement or reduction of any Monetary Obligations except to the extent of any insurance proceeds received by Landlord under Paragraph 16(a)(v). Promptly after such Partial Casualty or Partial Condemnation, Tenant, as required in Paragraph 12(a), shall commence and diligently continue to restore the Leased Premises as nearly as possible to their value, condition and character immediately prior to such event (assuming the Leased Premises to have been in the condition required by this Lease). So long as no Event of Default exists, any Net Award up to and including $250,000 shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant, to the extent actually received by Landlord, and Tenant and shall restore the Leased Premises in accordance with the requirements of Paragraph 13(b) of this Lease. Any Net Award in excess of $250,000 shall (unless such Casualty resulting in the Net Award is a Termination Event) be made available by Landlord (or Lender if the terms of the Mortgage so require) to Tenant, to the extent actually received by Lender or Landlord as the case may be, for the restoration of any of the Leased Premises pursuant to and in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Paragraph 19 hereof. Tenant’s obligation to restore hereunder shall not be affected by any failure of the Authority to make available any insurance proceeds held by the Authority pursuant to the Redevelopment Contract. If any Casualty or Condemnation which is not a Partial Casualty or Partial Condemnation shall occur, Tenant shall comply with the terms and conditions of Paragraph 18.
22
(a) If (i) all of any Related Premises shall be taken by a Taking or (ii) any substantial portion of any Related Premises shall be taken by a Taking or all or any substantial portion of any Related Premises shall be totally damaged or destroyed by a Casualty and, in any such case, Tenant certifies and covenants to Landlord that it will forever abandon operations at the Related Premises, (any one or all of the Related Premises described in the above clauses (i) and (ii) above being hereinafter referred to as the “Affected Premises” and each of the events described in the above clauses (i) and (ii) shall hereinafter be referred to as a “Termination Event”), then (x) in the case of (i) above, Tenant shall be obligated, within sixty (60) days after Tenant receives a Condemnation Notice and (y) in the case of (ii) above, Tenant shall have the option, within sixty (60) days after Tenant receives a Condemnation Notice or sixty (60) days after the Casualty, as the case may be, to give to Landlord written notice (a “Termination Notice”) in the form described in Paragraph 18(b) of the Tenant’s election to terminate this Lease as to the Affected Premises.
(b) A Termination Notice shall contain (i) notice of Tenant’s intention to terminate this Lease as to the Affected Premises on the first Basic Rent Payment Date which occurs at least ninety (90) days after the Fair Market Value Date (the “Termination Date”), (ii) a binding and irrevocable offer of Tenant to pay the Termination Amount and (iii) if the Termination Event is an event described in Paragraph 18(a)(ii), the certification and covenant described therein and a certified resolution of the Board of Directors of Tenant authorizing the same. Promptly upon the delivery to Landlord of a Termination Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall commence to determine Fair Market Value.
(c) If Landlord shall reject such offer to terminate this Lease as to the Affected Premises pursuant to Paragraph 18(b) above by written notice to Tenant (a “Rejection”), which Rejection shall contain the written consent of Lender, not later than thirty (30) days following the Fair Market Value Date, then this Lease shall terminate as to the Affected Premises on the Termination Date; provided that, if Tenant has not satisfied all Monetary Obligations and all other obligations and liabilities under this Lease which have arisen as to the Affected Premises (collectively, “Remaining Obligations”) on or prior to the Termination Date, then Landlord may, at its option, extend the date on which this Lease may terminate as to the Affected Premises to a date which is no later than the first Basic Rent Payment Date after the Termination Date on which Tenant has satisfied all Remaining Obligations. Upon such termination (i) all obligations of Tenant hereunder as to the Affected Premises shall terminate except for any Surviving Obligations, (ii) Tenant shall immediately vacate and shall have no further right, title or interest in or to any of the Affected Premises and (iii) the Net Award shall be retained by Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereinabove contained, if Tenant shall have received a Rejection and, on the date when this Lease would otherwise terminate with respect to the Affected Premises as provided above, Landlord shall not have received the full amount of the Net Award payable by reason of the applicable Termination Event, then the date on which this Lease is to terminate with respect to the Affected Premises shall be automatically extended to the first Basic Rent Payment Date after the receipt by Landlord of the full amount of the Net Award provided that, if Tenant has not satisfied all Remaining Obligations on such date, then Landlord may, at its option, extend the date on which this Lease may terminate as to the Affected Premises to a date which is no later than the first Basic Rent Payment Date after such date on which Tenant has satisfied all such Remaining Obligations.
23
(d) Unless Tenant shall have received a Rejection not later than the thirtieth (30th) day following the Fair Market Value Date, Landlord shall be conclusively presumed to have accepted such offer. If such offer is accepted by Landlord then, on the Termination Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Termination Amount and all Remaining Obligations and, if requested by Tenant, Landlord shall convey to Tenant or its designee the Affected Premises or the remaining portion thereof, if any, all in accordance with Paragraph 20.
(e) In the event that (i) the Landlord enters into to a bona fide contract of sale (the “Contract of Sale”) for the purchase of the Leased Premises with a Third Party Purchaser (the “Proposed Transaction”) and (ii) consent to the Proposed Transaction from the Authority, if required pursuant to the Redevelopment Contract, cannot be obtained within a time period or in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord or if Tenant is unable to cause the Redevelopment Contract to be terminated, then, Tenant shall purchase the Minnesota Premises from Landlord under terms identical in all material respects to the Contract of Sale, including but not limited to the purchase price, date of closing and fees due Lender. In addition, if the Minnesota Premises is transferred to the Tenant pursuant to this Paragraph 18(e) and a Prepayment Premium is due Lender as a result of such a transfer to Tenant that would not have been due in connection with the Proposed Transaction to the Third Party Purchaser, then said Prepayment Premium shall be paid by Tenant at the time of the transfer of the Minnesota Premises to Tenant. All sums due to Landlord or Lender from Tenant arising from the Purchase of the Minnesota Premises pursuant to this Paragraph 18(e) shall be defined as the “MN Required Purchase Amount.” Upon the transfer of the Minnesota Premises to the Tenant pursuant to this Paragraph 18(e), this Lease shall be terminated as to the Minnesota Premises.
(f) In the event of the termination of this Lease as to the Affected Premises or Minnesota Premises as hereinabove provided, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to the Remaining Premises; provided, that the Basic Rent for the Remaining Premises to be paid after such termination shall be the Basic Rent otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the Leased Premises multiplied by a percentage equal to the sum of the percentages set forth on Exhibit “F” for the Remaining Premises.
19. Restoration.
(a) Landlord (or Lender if required by any Mortgage) shall hold any Net Award in excess of $250,000 in a fund (the “Restoration Fund”) and disburse amounts from the Restoration Fund only in accordance with the following conditions:
(i) prior to commencement of restoration, (A) the architects, contracts, contractors, plans and specifications for the restoration shall have been approved by Landlord, (B) unless the total net worth of the Guarantor is greater than One Hundred million ($100,000,000) Dollars, Landlord and Lender shall be provided with mechanics’ lien insurance (if available) and acceptable performance and payment bonds which insure satisfactory completion of and payment for the restoration, are in an amount and form and have a surety acceptable to Landlord, and name Landlord and Lender as additional dual obligees, and (C) if available under State law, appropriate waivers of mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens shall have been filed;
(ii) at the time of any disbursement, no Event of Default shall exist and no mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens shall have been filed against any of the Leased Premises and remain undischarged;
24
(iii) disbursements shall be made from time to time in an amount not exceeding the cost of the work completed since the last disbursement, upon receipt of (A) satisfactory evidence, including architects’ certificates, of the stage of completion, the estimated total cost of completion and performance of the work to date in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the contracts, plans and specifications, (B) waivers of liens, (C) contractors’ and subcontractors’ sworn statements as to completed work and the cost thereof for which payment is requested, (D) a satisfactory bringdown of title insurance and (E) other evidence of cost and payment so that Landlord and Lender can verify that the amounts disbursed from time to time are represented by work that is completed, in place and free and clear of mechanics’ and materialmen’s lien claims;
(iv) each request for disbursement shall be accompanied by a certificate of Tenant, signed by an officer of Tenant, describing the work for which payment is requested, stating the cost incurred in connection therewith, stating that Tenant has not previously received payment for such work and, upon completion of the work, also stating that the work has been fully completed and complies with the applicable requirements of this Lease;
(v) Landlord may retain ten percent (10%) of each advance until the restoration is fifty (50%) percent completed;
(vi) the Restoration Fund shall not be commingled with Landlord’s other funds and shall bear interest at a rate agreed to by Landlord and Tenant; and
(vii) such other reasonable conditions as Landlord or Lender may impose.
(b) Prior to commencement of restoration and at any time during restoration, if the estimated cost of completing the restoration work free and clear of all liens, as determined by Landlord, exceeds the amount of the Net Award available for such restoration, the amount of such excess shall, upon demand by Landlord, be paid by Tenant to Landlord to be added to the Restoration Fund. Any sum so added by Tenant which remains in the Restoration Fund upon completion of restoration shall be refunded to Tenant. For purposes of determining the source of funds with respect to the disposition of funds remaining after the completion of restoration, the Net Award shall be deemed to be disbursed prior to any amount added by Tenant.
(c) If any sum remains in the Restoration Fund after completion of the restoration and any refund to Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 19(b), such sum shall be retained by Landlord or, if required by a Note or Mortgage, paid by Landlord to a Lender.
20. Procedures Upon Purchase.
(a) If the Leased Premises, any of the Related Premises or any of the Sale Premises are purchased by Tenant pursuant to any provision of this Lease, Landlord need not convey any better title thereto than that which was conveyed to Landlord, and Tenant or its designee shall accept such title, subject, however, to the Permitted Encumbrances and to all other liens, exceptions and restrictions on, against or relating to any of the Leased Premises or the applicable Related Premises or Sale Premises and to all applicable Laws, but free of the lien of and security interest created by any Mortgage or Assignment and liens, exceptions and restrictions on, against or relating to the Leased Premises or the applicable Related Premises or Sale Premises which have been created by or resulted solely from acts of Landlord after the date
25
of this Lease, unless the same are Permitted Encumbrances or customary utility easements benefiting the Leased Premises or were created with the concurrence of Tenant or as a result of a default by Tenant under this Lease.
(b) Upon the date fixed for any such purchase of the Leased Premises, any of the Related Premises or any Sale Premises pursuant to any provision of this Lease (any such date the “Purchase Date”), Tenant shall pay to Landlord, or to any Person to whom Landlord directs payment, the Relevant Amount therefor specified herein, in Federal Funds, less any credit of the Net Award received and retained by Landlord or a Lender allowed against the Relevant Amount, and Landlord shall deliver to Tenant (i) a special warranty deed which describes the premises being conveyed and conveys the title thereto as provided in Paragraph 20(a), (ii) such other instruments as shall be necessary to transfer to Tenant or its designee any other property (or rights to any Net Award not yet received by Landlord or a Lender) then required to be sold by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to this Lease and (iii) any Net Award received by Landlord, not credited to Tenant against the Relevant Amount; provided, that if any Monetary Obligations accruing prior to the Purchase Date remain outstanding on such date, then Landlord may deduct from the Net Award the amount of such Monetary Obligations. If on the Purchase Date any Monetary Obligations accruing prior to the Purchase Date remain outstanding and no Net Award is payable to Tenant by Landlord or the amount of such Net Award is less than the amount of said Monetary Obligations, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the Purchase Date the amount of such Monetary Obligations. Upon the completion of such purchase, this Lease and all obligations and liabilities of Tenant hereunder with respect to the applicable Related Premises or Sale Premises, as the case may be (but not with respect to the Remaining Premises), shall terminate, except any Surviving Obligations.
(c) If the completion of such purchase shall be delayed after (i) the Termination Date, in the event of a purchase pursuant to Paragraph 18 or, (ii) the date scheduled for such purchase, in the event of a purchase under any other provision of this Lease then (x) Rent shall continue to be due and payable until completion of such purchase and (y) at Landlord’s sole option, Fair Market Value shall be redetermined and the Relevant Amount payable by Tenant pursuant to the applicable provision of this Lease shall be adjusted to reflect such redetermination.
(d) Any prepaid Monetary Obligations, including Escrow Payments, paid to Landlord shall be prorated as of the Purchase Date, and the prorated unapplied balance shall be deducted from the Relevant Amount due to Landlord; provided, that no apportionment of any Impositions shall be made upon any such purchase.
(e) If Tenant at any time or from time to time defaults in its obligation to purchase the Minnesota Premises or any portion thereof pursuant to any provision of this Lease, Landlord may at its option terminate Tenant’s right and obligation to purchase the Minnesota Premises or any portion thereof by notice to Tenant pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 559.21 or successor provision without terminating this Lease or any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, and if such right is terminated, this Lease and all of its provisions shall remain in effect as though the purchase right and obligation in question had never arisen and without prejudice to Landlord’s right to require purchase at any time thereafter under any applicable provision of this Lease.
26
21. Assignment and Subletting; Prohibition against Leasehold Financing.
(a) Tenant shall not have the right to assign this Lease or sublet any portion of the Leased Premises except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Paragraph 21.
(b) Tenant shall have the right upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord and Lender, with no consent of Landlord or Lender being required, to assign this Lease provided that as a condition to any such assignment to any Person that is not a Preapproved Assignee (as defined below) Tenant shall provide to Landlord the Assignment Security Deposit no later than the date on which such assignment shall become effective.
The term “Preapproved Assignee” shall mean any Person (A) that is, and all times during the Term continues to be, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Guarantor or (B) that immediately following such assignment will have a publicly traded unsecured senior debt rating (“Required Rating”) of “BBB” or better from Xxxxx’x Investors Services, Inc. (“Xxxxx’x”) or a rating of “Baa” or better from Standard & Poor’s Corporation (“S&P”) or in the event all of such rating agencies cease to furnish such ratings, a comparable rating by any rating agency reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Lender or (C) so long as such Person’s obligations under this Lease are guaranteed by a Person that has, immediately following such assignment, the Required Rating and such Person executes and delivers to Landlord a guaranty substantially in the form of the Guaranty.
(c) Tenant shall have the right to sublease all or any portion of any Related Premises to any one or more subtenants without the prior written consent of Landlord provided, however, if Tenant desires to sublease all or any part of any Related Premises to any Person that is not a Preapproved Assignee then, as a condition to each sublease, Tenant shall provide to the Landlord, in the event that an Assignment Security Deposit has not already been provided, a Sublet Security Deposit no later than the date on which such sublease shall become effective. In the event that more than one portion of any Related Premises is subject to a sublease and a Sublet Security Deposit is currently being held by Landlord for such Related Premises, no additional Sublet Security Deposit shall be required.
(d) If Tenant assigns all its rights and interest under this Lease, the assignee under such assignment shall expressly assume all the obligations of Tenant hereunder, actual or contingent, including obligations of Tenant which may have arisen on or prior to the date of such assignment, by a written instrument delivered to Landlord at the time of such assignment. Each sublease of any of the Related Premises shall be subject and subordinate to the provisions of this Lease. Except in the case of an assignment to a Person with a publicly traded unsecured senior debt rating of “AA” or better from Xxxxx’x or “Aa2” or better from S&P (either such rating, a “Release Rating”), no assignment or sublease shall affect or reduce any of the obligations of Tenant hereunder or the Guarantor under the Guaranty, and all such obligations of the Tenant and Guarantor shall continue in full force and effect as obligations of a principal and not as obligations of a guarantor, as if no assignment or sublease had been made. In the event of an assignment to a Person meeting the Release Rating, the Tenant shall be released from liability under the Lease and the Guarantor shall be released from liability under the Guaranty. No assignment or sublease shall impose any additional obligations on Landlord under this Lease.
(e) Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after the execution and delivery of any assignment or sublease, deliver a duplicate original copy thereof to Landlord which, in the event of an assignment, shall be in recordable form.
27
(f) As security for performance of its obligations under this Lease, Tenant hereby grants, conveys and assigns to Landlord all right, title and interest of Tenant in and to all subleases now in existence or hereafter entered into for any or all of the Leased Premises, any and all extensions, modifications and renewals thereof and all rents, issues and profits therefrom. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a license to collect and enjoy all rents and other sums of money payable under any sublease of any of the Leased Premises, provided, however, that Landlord shall have the absolute right at any time upon notice to Tenant and any subtenants to revoke said license and to collect such rents and sums of money and to retain the same. Tenant shall not accept any rents under any sublease more than thirty (30) days in advance of the accrual thereof.
(g) Tenant shall have the right to grant a first lien leasehold mortgage on, or to pledge its leasehold interest in, the Leased Premises to its senior lender, but shall not have the power to otherwise mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber its interest under this Lease or any sublease of the Leased Premises, and any other such mortgage, pledge or encumbrance made in violation of this Paragraph 21 shall be void. Any entity that becomes a successor tenant under this Paragraph 21(g) shall be required to be in compliance with all of the terms of this Lease.
(h) Landlord may sell or transfer the Leased Premises at any time without Tenant’s consent to any third party (each a “Third Party Purchaser”). In the event of any such transfer, Tenant shall attorn to any Third Party Purchaser as Landlord so long as such Third Party Purchaser and Landlord notify Tenant in writing of such transfer. At the request of Landlord, Tenant will execute such documents confirming the agreement referred to above.
(a) The occurrence of any one or more of the following (after expiration of any applicable cure period as provided in Paragraph 22(b)) shall, at the sole option of Landlord, constitute an “Event of Default” under this Lease:
(i) (A) a failure by Tenant to make any payment of Basic Rent, regardless of the reason for such failure; or
(B) a failure by Tenant to make any payment of any Monetary Obligation other than Basic Rent;
(ii) a failure by Tenant duly to perform and observe, or a violation or breach of, any other provision hereof not otherwise specifically mentioned in this Paragraph 22(a);
(iii) any representation or warranty made by Tenant herein or in any certificate, demand or request made pursuant hereto proves to be incorrect, now or hereafter, in any material respect;
(iv) Tenant shall (A) voluntarily be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, (B) seek or consent to the appointment of a receiver or trustee for itself or for any of the Related Premises, (C) file a petition seeking relief under the bankruptcy or other similar laws of the United States, any state or any jurisdiction, (D) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (E) be unable to pay its debts as they mature;
28
(v) a court shall enter an order, judgment or decree appointing, without the consent of Tenant, a receiver or trustee for it or for any of the Related Premises or approving a petition filed against Tenant which seeks relief under the bankruptcy or other similar laws of the United States, any state or any jurisdiction, and such order, judgment or decree shall remain undischarged or unstayed sixty (60) days after it is entered;
(vi) any Related Premises shall have been vacated or abandoned;
(vii) Tenant shall be liquidated or dissolved or shall begin proceedings towards its liquidation or dissolution;
(viii) the estate or interest of Tenant in any of the Related Premises shall be levied upon or attached in any proceeding and such estate or interest is about to be sold or transferred or such process shall not be vacated or discharged within sixty (60) days after it is made;
(ix) a failure by Tenant to perform or observe, or a violation or breach of, or a misrepresentation by Tenant under, any provision of any Assignment or any other document between Tenant and Lender, if such failure, violation, breach or misrepresentation gives rise to a default beyond any applicable cure period with respect to any Loan;
(x) an Event of Default (as defined in the Guaranty) beyond any applicable cure period shall occur under the Guaranty;
(xi) Tenant shall fail provide to Landlord the Security Deposit if required pursuant to Paragraph 21 within the time period provided therein or to otherwise maintain the Security Deposit as required under Paragraph 35; or
(xii) an Event of Default (as that term is defined in the Contract for Private Redevelopment (the “Redevelopment Contract”) by and between Xxxxxxxx Economic Development Authority (the “Authority”) and XxXxxx Midwest Corporation (“XxXxxx”) dated as of May 23, 1994 as same has been amended by a First Amendment to Contract for Private Redevelopment by and between the Authority and XxXxxx dated as of July 14, 1994) beyond any applicable cure period shall occur under the Redevelopment Contract.
(b) No notice or cure period shall be required in any one or more of the following events: (A) the occurrence of an Event of Default under clause (i)(A) or (i)(B) (except as otherwise set forth below), (iv), (v), (vii), (viii), (ix), (x), (xi), (xii) of Paragraph 22(a) or (B) the default is such that any delay in the exercise of a remedy by Landlord could reasonably be expected to cause irreparable harm to Landlord. If the default consists of the failure to pay any Basic Rent under clause (i)(A) of Paragraph 22(a), the applicable cure period shall be three (3) days from the date on which notice is given, but Landlord shall not be obligated to give notice of, or allow any cure period for, any such default more than two times within any consecutive twelve (12) month period. If the default consists of the failure to pay any Monetary Obligation under clause (i)(B) of Paragraph 22(a), the applicable cure period shall be ten (10) days from the date on which notice is given. If the default consists of a default under clause (ii) or (iii) of Paragraph 22(a), other than the events specified in clause (B) of the first sentence of this Paragraph 22(b), the applicable cure period shall be thirty (30) days from the date on which notice is given or, if the default cannot be cured within such thirty (30) day period and delay in the exercise of a
29
remedy would not (in Landlord’s reasonable judgment) cause any material adverse harm to Landlord or any of the Leased Premises, the cure period shall be extended for the period reasonably required to cure the default provided that Tenant shall commence to cure the default within the said thirty day period and shall actively, diligently and in good faith proceed with and continue the curing of the default until it shall be fully cured. If the default consists of a vacation under clause (vi) of Paragraph 22(a), the applicable cure period shall be twelve (12) months from the date of the default so long as Tenant actively, diligently and in good faith proceeds and continues the curing of the default by seeking to sublet the applicable Related Premises that has been vacated or abandoned.
23. Remedies and Damages Upon Default.
(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, Landlord shall have the right, at its sole option, then or at any time thereafter during which the Event of Default is continuing, to exercise its remedies and to collect damages from Tenant in accordance with this Paragraph 23, subject in all events to applicable Law, without demand upon or notice to Tenant except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 22(b) and this Paragraph 23.
(i) Landlord may give Tenant notice of Landlord’s intention to terminate this Lease on a date specified in such notice. Upon such date, this Lease, the estate hereby granted and all rights of Tenant hereunder shall expire and terminate. Upon such termination, Tenant shall immediately surrender and deliver possession of the Leased Premises to Landlord in accordance with Paragraph 26. If Tenant does not so surrender and deliver possession of all of the Leased Premises, Landlord may re-enter and repossess any of the Leased Premises not surrendered, with or without legal process, by peaceably entering any of the Leased Premises and changing locks or by summary proceedings, ejectment or any other lawful means or procedure. Upon or at any time after taking possession of any of the Leased Premises, Landlord may, by peaceable means or legal process, remove any Persons or property therefrom. Landlord shall be under no liability for or by reason of any such entry, repossession or removal. Notwithstanding such entry or repossession, Landlord may (A) exercise the remedy set forth in and collect the damages permitted by Paragraph 23(a)(iii) or (B) collect the damages set forth in Paragraph 23(b)(i) or 23(b)(ii).
(ii) After repossession of any of the Leased Premises pursuant to clause (i) above, Landlord shall have the right to relet any of the Leased Premises to such tenant or tenants, for such term or terms, for such rent, on such conditions and for such uses as Landlord in its sole discretion may determine, and collect and receive any rents payable by reason of such reletting. Landlord may make such Alterations in connection with such reletting as it may deem advisable in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding any such reletting, Landlord may collect the damages set forth in Paragraph 23(b)(ii).
(iii) Landlord may, upon notice to Tenant, require Tenant to make an irrevocable offer to terminate this Lease in its entirety for an amount (the “Default Termination Amount”) specified in the next sentence. The “Default Termination Amount” shall be the greatest of (A) the sum of the Fair Market Value of the Leased Premises and the applicable Prepayment Premium which Landlord will be required to pay in prepaying any Loan with proceeds of the Default Termination Amount or (B) the sum of the Acquisition Cost and the applicable Prepayment Premium which Landlord will be required to pay in prepaying any Loan with proceeds of the Default Termination Amount or (C) an amount equal to the Present Value of the entire Basic Rent from the date of such purchase to the date on which the then Term would
30
expire, including any exercised Renewal Term. Upon such notice to Tenant, Tenant shall be deemed to have made such offer and shall, if requested by Landlord, within ten (10) days following such request, deposit with Landlord as payment against the Default Termination Amount the amount described in (B) above, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly commence to determine Fair Market Value. Within thirty (30) days after the Fair Market Value Date, Landlord shall accept or reject such offer. If Landlord accepts such offer then, on the tenth (10th) business day after such acceptance, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Default Termination Amount and, at the request of Tenant, Landlord will convey the Leased Premises to Tenant or its designee in accordance with Paragraph 20. Any rejection by Landlord of such offer shall have no effect on any other remedy Landlord may have under this Lease.
(iv) Landlord may declare by notice to Tenant the entire Basic Rent (in the amount of Basic Rent then in effect) for the remainder of the then current Term to be immediately due and payable. Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord all such Basic Rent discounted to its Present Value, all accrued Rent then due and unpaid, all other Monetary Obligations which are then due and unpaid and all Monetary Obligations which arise or become due by reason of such Event of Default (including any Costs of Landlord). Upon receipt by Landlord of all such accelerated Basic Rent and Monetary Obligations, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Tenant shall have the right to possession of the Leased Premises from the date of such receipt by Landlord to the end of the Term, and subject to all the provisions of this Lease, including the obligation to pay all increases in Basic Rent and all Monetary Obligations that subsequently become due, except that (A) no Basic Rent which has been prepaid hereunder shall be due thereafter during the said Term, and (B) Tenant shall have no option to extend or renew the Term.
(b) The following constitute damages to which Landlord shall be entitled if Landlord exercises its remedies under Paragraph 23(a)(i) or 23(a)(ii):
(i) If Landlord exercises its remedy under Paragraph 23(a)(i) but not its remedy under Paragraph 23(a)(ii) (or attempts to exercise such remedy and is unsuccessful in reletting the Leased Premises) then, upon written demand from Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as liquidated and agreed final damages for Tenant’s default and in lieu of all current damages beyond the date of such demand (it being agreed that it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to fix the actual damages), an amount equal to the Present Value of the excess, if any, of (A) all Basic Rent from the date of such demand to the date on which the Term is scheduled to expire hereunder in the absence of any earlier termination, re-entry or repossession over (B) the then fair market rental value of the Leased Premises for the same period. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all of Landlord’s Costs in connection with the repossession of the Leased Premises and any attempted reletting thereof, including all brokerage commissions, legal expenses, reasonable attorneys’ fees, employees’ expenses, costs of Alterations and expenses and preparation for reletting.
(ii) If Landlord exercises its remedy under Paragraph 23(a)(i) or its remedies under Paragraph 23(a)(i) and 23(a)(ii), then Tenant shall, until the end of what would have been the Term in the absence of the termination of the Lease, and whether or not any of the Leased Premises shall have been relet, be liable to Landlord for, and shall pay to Landlord, as liquidated and agreed current damages all Monetary Obligations which would be payable under this Lease by Tenant in the absence of such termination less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting pursuant to Paragraph 23(a)(ii), after deducting from such proceeds all of Landlord’s Costs (including the items listed in the last sentence of Paragraph 23(b)(i) hereof) incurred in
31
connection with such repossessing and reletting; provided, that if Landlord has not relet the Leased Premises, such Costs of Landlord shall be considered to be Monetary Obligations payable by Tenant. Tenant shall be and remain liable for all sums aforesaid, and Landlord may recover such damages from Tenant and institute and maintain successive actions or legal proceedings against Tenant for the recovery of such damages. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require Landlord to wait to begin such action or other legal proceedings until the date when the Term would have expired by its own terms had there been no such Event of Default.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, in lieu of or in addition to any of the foregoing remedies and damages, Landlord may exercise any remedies and collect any damages available to it at law or in equity. If Landlord is unable to obtain full satisfaction pursuant to the exercise of any remedy, it may pursue any other remedy which it has hereunder or at law or in equity.
(d) Landlord shall not be required to mitigate any of its damages hereunder unless required to by applicable Law. If any Law shall validly limit the amount of any damages provided for herein to an amount which is less than the amount agreed to herein, Landlord shall be entitled to the maximum amount available under such Law.
(e) No termination of this Lease, repossession or reletting of any of the Leased Premises, exercise of any remedy or collection of any damages pursuant to this Paragraph 23 shall relieve Tenant of any Surviving Obligations.
(f) WITH RESPECT TO ANY REMEDY OR PROCEEDING OF LANDLORD OR TENANT HEREUNDER, LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY WAIVE THE SERVICE OF NOTICE WHICH MAY BE REQUIRED BY ANY APPLICABLE LAW AND ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
(g) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord shall have the right (but no obligation) to perform any act required of Tenant hereunder and, if performance of such act requires that Landlord enter the Leased Premises, Landlord may enter the Leased Premises for such purpose.
(h) No failure of Landlord (i) to insist at any time upon the strict performance of any provision of this Lease or (ii) to exercise any option, right, power or remedy contained in this Lease shall be construed as a waiver, modification or relinquishment thereof. A receipt by Landlord of any sum in satisfaction of any Monetary Obligation with knowledge of the breach of any provision hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, and no waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in a writing signed by Landlord.
(i) Tenant hereby waives and surrenders, for itself and all those claiming under it, including creditors of all kinds, (i) any right and privilege which it or any of them may have under any present or future Law to redeem any of the Leased Premises or to have a continuance of this Lease after termination of this Lease or of Tenant’s right of occupancy or possession pursuant to any court order or any provision hereof, and (ii) the benefits of any present or future Law which exempts property from liability for debt or for distress for rent.
(j) Except as otherwise provided herein, all remedies are cumulative and concurrent and no remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. Each remedy may be exercised
32
at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and may be exercised from time to time. No remedy shall be exhausted by any exercise thereof.
24. Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals, offers, statements and other instruments or communications required or permitted to be given pursuant to the provisions of this Lease shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given and received for all purposes when delivered in person or by Federal Express or other reliable 24-hour delivery service or five (5) business days after being deposited in the United States mail, by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the other party at its address stated above or when delivery is refused.

For the purposes of this Paragraph, any party may substitute another address stated above (or substituted by a previous notice) for its address by giving fifteen (15) days’ notice of the new address to the other party, in the manner provided above.
25. Estoppel Certificate. At any time upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior written request by either Landlord or Tenant (the “Requesting Party”) to the other party (the “Responding Party”), the Responding Party shall deliver to the Requesting Party a statement in writing, executed by an authorized officer of the Responding Party, certifying (a) that, except as otherwise specified, this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, (b) the dates to which Basic Rent, Additional Rent and all other Monetary Obligations have been paid, (c) that, to the knowledge of the signer of such certificate and except as otherwise specified, no default by either Landlord or Tenant exists hereunder, (d) such other matters as the Requesting Party may reasonably request, and (e) if Tenant is the Responding Party that, except as otherwise specified, there are no proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the signer, threatened, against Tenant before or by an court or administrative agency which, if adversely decided, would materially and adversely affect the financial condition and operations of Tenant. Any such statements by the Responding Party may be relied upon by the Requesting Party, any Person whom the Requesting Party notifies the Responding Party in its request for the Certificate is an intended recipient or beneficiary of the Certificate, any Lender or their assignees, by any prospective purchaser or mortgagee of any of the Leased Premises and by an assignee of Tenant’s interest in this Lease or any sublessee.
26. Surrender. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall peaceably leave and surrender the Leased Premises to Landlord in the same condition in which the Leased Premises was at the commencement of this Lease, except as repaired, rebuilt, restored, altered, replaced or added to as permitted or required by any provision of this Lease, and except for ordinary wear and tear. Upon such surrender, Tenant shall (a) remove from the Leased Premises all property which is owned by Tenant or third parties other than Landlord and (b) repair any damage caused by such removal. Property not so removed shall become the property of Landlord, and Landlord may thereafter cause such property to be removed from the Leased Premises. The reasonable cost of removing and disposing of such property and repairing any damage to any of the Leased Premises caused by such removal shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand. Landlord shall not in any manner or to any extent be obligated to reimburse Tenant for any such property which becomes the property of Landlord pursuant to this Paragraph 26.
33
27. No Merger of Title. There shall be no merger of the leasehold estate created by this Lease with the fee estate in any of the Leased Premises by reason of the fact that the same Person may acquire or hold or own, directly or indirectly, (a) the leasehold estate created hereby or any part thereof or interest therein and (b) the fee estate in any of the Leased Premises or any part thereof or interest therein, unless and until all Persons having any interest in the interests described in (a) and (b) above which are sought to be merged shall join in a written instrument effecting such merger and shall duly record the same.
(a) Tenant shall keep adequate records and books of account with respect to the finances and business of Guarantor generally and with respect to the Leased Premises, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) consistently applied, and shall permit Landlord and Lender by their respective agents, accountants and attorneys, upon reasonable notice to Tenant, to visit and inspect the Leased Premises and examine (and make copies of) the records and books of account and to discuss the finances and business with the officers of Tenant, at such reasonable times as may be requested by Landlord.

Upon reaching such agreement, the parties shall execute an agreement setting forth the amount of such Fair Market Value.
(ii) If the parties shall not have signed such agreement within thirty (30) days after the Applicable Initial Date, Tenant shall within fifty (50) days after the Applicable Initial Date select an appraiser and notify Landlord in writing of the name, address and qualifications of such appraiser. Within twenty (20) days following Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice of the appraiser selected by Tenant, Landlord shall select an appraiser and notify Tenant of the name, address and qualifications of such appraiser. Such two appraisers shall endeavor to agree upon Fair Market Value based on a written appraisal made by each of them as of the Relevant Date (and given to Landlord by Tenant). If such two appraisers shall agree upon a Fair Market Value, the amount of such Fair Market Value as so agreed shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant.
(iii) If such two appraisers shall be unable to agree upon a Fair Market Value within twenty (20) days after the selection of an appraiser by Landlord, then such appraisers shall advise Landlord and Tenant of their respective determination of Fair Market Value and shall select a third appraiser to make the determination of Fair Market Value. The selection of the third appraiser shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant.
(iv) If such two appraisers shall be unable to agree upon the designation of a third appraiser within ten (10) days after the expiration of the twenty (20) day period referred to in clause (iii) above, or if such third appraiser does not make a determination of Fair Market Value within twenty (20) days after his selection, then such third appraiser or a substituted third appraiser, as applicable, shall, at the request of either party hereto (with respect to the other party), be appointed by the President or Chairman of the American Arbitration Association in New York, New York. The determination of Fair Market Value made by the third appraiser appointed pursuant hereto shall be made within twenty (20) days after such appointment.
(v) If a third appraiser is selected, Fair Market Value shall be the average of the determination of Fair Market Value made by the third appraiser and the determination of Fair Market Value made by the appraiser (selected pursuant to Paragraph 29(a)(ii) hereof) whose determination of Fair Market Value is nearest to that of the third appraiser. Such average shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant.
(vi) All appraisers selected or appointed pursuant to this Paragraph 29(a) shall (A) be independent qualified MAI appraisers (B) have no right, power or authority to alter or modify the provisions of this Lease, (C) utilize the definition of Fair Market Value hereinabove set forth above, and (D) be registered in the State if the State provides for or requires such registration.

(c) In determining Fair Market Value as defined in clause (b) of the definition of Fair Market Value, the appraisers shall add (a) the present value the Rent of the remaining Term, assuming the Term including any exercised Renewal Term (with assumed increases in the CPI to be determined by the appraisers) using a discount rate (which may be determined by an investment banker retained by each appraiser) based on the creditworthiness of Tenant and Guarantor and (b) the present value of the Leased Premises, Sale Premises or Affected Premises, as applicable, as of the end of such Term including any exercised Renewal Term. The appraisers shall further assume that no default then exists under the Lease, that Tenant has complied (and will comply) with all provisions of the Lease, and that Guarantor has complied (and will comply) with all of the provisions of the Guaranty.

32. Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment.

Any Option Purchase Date shall be mutually agreeable to Landlord and Tenant. If Tenant intends to exercise either the First Option or any Remaining Option, Tenant shall give written notice (“Option Exercise Notice”) to Landlord that it is making an irrevocable exercise not later than six (6) months prior to the applicable Option Purchase Date. Promptly upon receipt of the Option Exercise Notice by Landlord (which shall identify the Sale Premises or Leased Premises to be purchased), the parties shall commence to determine Fair Market Value of the Leased Premises or Sale Premises, as applicable.

38
(c) If at any time an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Landlord shall be entitled, at its sole discretion, to draw on each Letter of Credit or to withdraw the LC Proceeds or Cash Security Deposit, as the case may be, from the above-described account and to apply the proceeds in payment of (i) any Rent or other charges for the payment of which Tenant shall be in default, (ii) any expense incurred by Landlord in curing any default of Tenant, and/or (iii) any other sums due to Landlord in connection with any default or the curing thereof, including, without limitation, any damages incurred by Landlord by reason of such default, including any rights of Landlord under Paragraph 23 or to do any combination of the foregoing, all in such order or priority as Landlord shall so determine in its sole discretion and Tenant acknowledges and agrees that such proceeds shall not constitute assets or funds of Tenant or its estate, or be deemed to be held in trust for Tenant, but shall be, for all purposes, the property of Landlord (or Lender, to the extent assigned). Tenant further acknowledges and agrees that (1) Landlord’s application of the proceeds of the Security Deposit towards the payment of Basic Rent, Additional Rent or the reduction of any damages due Landlord in accordance with Paragraph 23 of this Lease, constitutes a fair and reasonable use of such proceeds, and (2) the application of such proceeds by Landlord towards the payment of Basic Rent, Additional Rent or any other sums due under this Lease shall not constitute a cure by Tenant of the applicable default, provided that an Event of Default shall not exist if Tenant restores the Security Deposit to its full amount within five (5) days following its application and in accordance with the requirements of this Paragraph 35, so that the original amount of the Security Deposit shall be again on deposit with Landlord.

BASIC RENT PAYMENTS
1. Basic Rent. (a) Subject to the adjustments provided for in the following Paragraph 1 (b) and Paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 below, Basic Rent payable in respect of the Term shall be $1,809,225 per annum (“Initial Annual Basic Rent”), payable monthly in advance on each Basic Rent Payment Date, in equal installments of $150,768.75 each (“Initial Monthly Installment”); except that on June 1, 2000 Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in addition to the Initial Monthly Installment due, the amount of $301,537.51 as prepaid rent which shall be applied to Basic Rent due for the last two (2) months of the Term.
(b) Concurrently with the funding of the initial Loan the Initial Annual Basic Rent shall be changed (the “Initial Adjustment”) to the sum of (i) the annual debt service (principal and interest) payable on such Loan and (ii) the product of 11.92% times the difference between $19,350,000 and the original principal amount of such Loan. Upon the Initial Adjustment each Initial Monthly Installment shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, by one-twelfth of the Initial Adjustment. If the Initial Adjustment occurs between Basic Rent Payment Dates the next occurring Initial Monthly Installment shall be adjusted accordingly. By way of example:
Purchase Price: |

Total Rent = $658,580 + Debt Service
Debt Service Assumptions: $13,425,000 7.70%, 30 year amortization
Example #1 - Rent would adjust down.
Debt closed: $13,425,000 7.50%, 30 year amortization
Example #2 - Rent would adjust up.
Debt closed: $13,425,000 7.90%, 30 year amortization
2. CPI Adjustments to Basic Rent. The Basic Rent shall be subject to adjustment, in the manner hereinafter set forth, for increases in the index known as United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumers, United States City Average, All Items, (1982-84=100) (“CPI”) or the successor index that most closely approximates the CPI. If the CPI shall be discontinued with no successor or comparable successor index, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon a substitute index or formula, but if they are unable to so agree, then the matter shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then prevailing in New York City. Any
decision or award resulting from such arbitration shall be final and binding upon Landlord and Tenant and judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. In no event will the Basic Rent as adjusted by the CPI adjustment be less than the Basic Rent in effect for the three (3) year period immediately preceding the first adjustment of Basic Rent and the one (1) year period immediately preceding each subsequent adjustment of Basic Rent.
3. Effective Dates of CPI Adjustments. Basic Rent shall not be adjusted to reflect changes in the CPI until the third (3rd) anniversary of the Basic Rent Payment Date on which the first full monthly installment of Basic Rent shall be due and payable (the “First Full Basic Rent Payment Date”). As of the third (3rd) anniversary of the First Full Basic Rent Payment Date (the “Initial Adjustment Date”) and on each anniversary of the Initial Adjustment Date thereafter during the term, Basic Rent shall be adjusted to reflect increases in the CPI during the three (3) year period immediately preceding the Initial Adjustment Date and during the most recent one (1) year period immediately preceding each anniversary of the Initial Adjustment Date (the Initial Adjustment Date and each subsequent adjustment date being hereinafter referred to as the “Basic Rent Adjustment Date”).
4. Method of Adjustment for CPI Adjustment.
(a) As of each Basic Rent Adjustment Date when the average CPI determined in clause (i) below exceeds the Beginning CPI (as defined in this Paragraph 4(a)), the Basic Rent in effect immediately prior to the applicable Basic Rent Adjustment Date shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the difference between (i) the average CPI for the three (3) most recent calendar months (the “Prior Months”) ending prior to such Basic Rent Adjustment Date for which the CPI has been published on or before the forty-fifth (45th) day preceding such Basic Rent Adjustment Date and (ii) the Beginning CPI, and the denominator of which shall be the Beginning CPI.
On the Initial Adjustment Date, an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the product of such multiplication or 5.78% of the Basic Rent in effect immediately prior to the Initial Adjustment Date shall be added to the Basic Rent in effect immediately prior to the Initial Adjustment Date.
On each Basic Rent Adjustment Date after the Initial Adjustment Date, an amount equal to the lesser of the product of such multiplication or 1.89% of the Basic Rent in effect immediately prior to such Basic Rent Adjustment Date shall be added to the Basic Rent in effect immediately prior to such Basic Rent Adjustment Date.
As used herein, “Beginning CPI” shall mean the average CPI for the three (3) calendar months corresponding to the Prior Months, but occurring three (3) years earlier with respect to the first adjustment of Basic Rent and one (1) year earlier with respect to each subsequent adjustment of Basic Rent.
If the average CPI determined in clause (i) is the same or less than the Beginning CPI, the Basic Rent will remain the same for the ensuing three (3) year period or one (1) year period, as applicable. If any CPI adjustment would result in an annual increase of less than 1.89%, then, the positive difference between an annual increase of 1.89% and the actual annual increase resulting from such CPI adjustment shall be carried forward and added to any annual increase of Basic Rent that is less than 1.89% of the prior year’s Basic Rent.

(b) Effective as of a given Basic Rent Adjustment Date, Basic Rent payable under this Lease until the next succeeding Basic Rent Adjustment Date shall be the Basic Rent in effect after the adjustment provided for as of such Basic Rent Adjustment Date.
(c) Notice of the new annual Basic Rent shall be delivered to Tenant on or before the tenth (10th) day preceding each Basic Rent Adjustment Date, but any failure to do so by Landlord shall not be or be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of Landlord’s rights to collect such sums. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten (10) days after a notice of the new annual Basic Rent is delivered to Tenant, all amounts due from Tenant, but unpaid, because the stated amount as set forth above was not delivered to Tenant at least ten (10) days preceding the Basic Rent Adjustment Date in question.
