insurance (or which could have been recovered, had insurance been carried as so
required under this Lease) and waives any right of subrogation which might
otherwise exist in or accrue to any person on account thereof, provided that
such release of liability and waiver of the right of subrogation shall not be

any Hazardous Materials (as defined in Section 20.4(d) of the Master Lease)
which affect Tenant's use of the Premises, and Tenant shall not permit the
Premises to contain, be used to store or otherwise used to handle any Hazardous

necessary to return the Premises to its prior state and in accordance with and
to the extent required by all applicable Laws and any orders and directives of
any applicable government authorities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant
shall not be responsible for the presence of Hazardous Materials in or about the
Premises which result from the underground migration of Hazardous Materials to
the Premises from other sites which is not caused, contributed to or exacerbated
by Tenant or by anyone acting by, through or under Tenant.
16.3 Remedial Work. Should a release of any Hazardous Materials onto or
from the Premises occur as a result of any intentional or unintentional act or
omission on the part of Tenant or any other person, Tenant shall immediately

failure to comply with any Laws or any orders, requirements or demands of any
applicable governmental authorities which are related to any such presence, use,

permitted by, or related to or otherwise arising out of the use and occupancy of
the Premises by Tenant or by anyone acting by, through or under Tenant; or (d)

hereof. Additionally, provided that Tenant does not disturb any asbestos at the
Premises, if any asbestos which is present at the Premises as of the date hereof
must be abated at any time during the term hereof in order to comply with Laws,
Landlord shall, at its costs and expense (or, pursuant to Section 20.4(b) of the
Master Lease, cause Master Landlord to, at Master Landlord's cost and expense)
encapsulate or otherwise xxxxx the same to the extent necessary to comply with
such Laws.
16.6 Non-Exclusive. No part of the above and foregoing agreements to be
kept and performed by Tenant, are intended to be a substitute for, or a
limitation upon, each and every other agreement contained in this Lease to be
kept and performed by Tenant.
17. WAIVER OF CLAIMS AND INDEMNITY
17.1 Tenant's Waiver. To the extent permitted by law, and except for those
items subject to the Landlord's indemnification pursuant to Section 17.4 below,
Tenant waives and releases Landlord and Landlord's officers, directors,
contractors, agents and employees from all claims for damage to person or
property sustained by Tenant relating to:
(a) the Premises or any part thereof, becoming out of repair or
maintenance by Tenant or Master Landlord; or

about the Premises unless due to the negligence or willful misconduct of the
Landlord or the Landlord's officers, directors, contractors, agents and
employees.
All property situated on the Premises and belonging to Tenant, its contractors,
agents or employees or visitors or any occupant of the Premises shall be
situated there at the risk of Tenant or such other person only. Unless such
property is the property of the Landlord (as occupant of a portion of the
Premises pursuant to the Service Contract), Landlord shall not be liable for
damage thereto or theft, misappropriation or loss thereof. Nothing contained in
this Section 17 shall be deemed or construed as an indemnification of Landlord
by Tenant of the negligence, tortuous conduct, or willful misconduct of Landlord
or any of Landlord's agents, employees or invitees in contravention of the
provisions of any applicable California landlord and tenant laws.
17.2 Limitation of Landlord's Liability. Landlord is not liable for any
injury or damage to any party happening on, in or about the Premises and its
appurtenances during the Term of this Lease, nor
12
for any injury or damage to the Premises or to any property belonging to Tenant
or to any other party that may be caused by fire, breakage, or by the use,
misuse or abuse of any portion of the Premises (including, without limitation,
any of the common areas within the Premises, elevators, hatches, openings,
installations, stairways or hallways), nor the streets or sidewalk areas within
the Premises, or which may arise from any other cause whatsoever during the Term
of this Lease, unless caused by the Landlord's breach of the provisions of this
Lease or the Master Lease (excluding any breach of the Master Lease caused by a
breach of Tenant of its obligations hereunder), the negligence, tortuous
conduct, or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents or employees. In no event
shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for consequential damages.
17.3 Indemnification by Tenant. Subject to Section 9 hereof, Tenant agrees
to defend, hold harmless, and indemnify Landlord and Master Landlord (which for
the purposes of this Section 17.3 shall include their officers, directors,
managers, employees, shareholders, and agents) from and against all claims,
liabilities, suits, obligations, fines, damages, penalties, costs, charges and
expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs
(collectively, "Claims") for injuries to persons and damage to, or the theft,
misappropriation or loss of, property arising from occurrences in or about the
Premises by reason of any of the following occurring during the Term hereof:
(a) each item set forth Section 17.1 (a) through (c), (f) and (h) of
the Master Lease, to the extent arising from any act or failure to act by
Tenant or its officers, agents, contractors, servants, employees,
licensees or invitees;
(b) any accident, injury (including death) or damage to any Person
or property occurring in, on or about the Premises or any part thereof or
in, on or about any street, alley sidewalk, curb, passageway, gutter, or
space comprising a part thereof or adjacent thereto;
(c) the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its employees,
agents, and invitees;
(d) any failure on the part of Tenant to keep, observe, comply with
an perform any of the terms, covenants, agreements, provisions, conditions
or limitations contained in this Lease, the Master Lease as required
herein, or any other contracts and agreements affecting the Premises or
any part thereof, on Tenant's part to be kept, observed or performed;
provided, however that such indemnification shall not extend to Claims caused by
Landlord's breach of the provisions of this Lease or the Master Lease or the
negligence, tortious conduct, or willful misconduct of Landlord or Master
Landlord, or their agents, employees, or invitees; and further provided that in
no event shall Tenant be liable for any consequential damages.
17.4 Indemnification by Landlord. Subject to Section 9 hereof, Landlord
agrees to defend, hold harmless and indemnify Tenant (which for the purposes of
this Section 17.4 shall include its officers, directors, managers, employees,
shareholders, and agents) from and against all Claims for personal injury or
property damage arising from injuries to persons or damage to property in or
about the Premises caused by a breach by Landlord, its employees, agents or
invitees of any covenant or condition of this Lease or by the negligence,
tortious conduct, or willful misconduct of Landlord, its employees, agents or
invitees; provided, however, that in no event, shall Landlord be liable for any
consequential damages.
17.5 Defense of Claims, Etc. If any Claim is made or brought against
Landlord or Master Landlord by reason of any event described in Section 17.3
above, or against Tenant, by reason of any event described in Section 17.4
above, then, upon demand by the indemnified party, the indemnifying
13
party shall resist, defend or satisfy such claim, action or proceeding in the
indemnified party's name, if necessary, by the attorneys for the indemnifying
party's insurance carrier (if such claim, action or proceeding is covered by
insurance), or by such other attorneys as the indemnified party shall approve,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the indemnified party may engage its own attorneys to defend it
or to assist in its defense and the indemnifying party shall pay the reasonable
fees and disbursement of such attorneys of the indemnified party.
17.6 Survival. The provisions of this Article 17 shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
18. DAMAGE BY FIRE OR OTHER CAUSE
The provisions of Article 7 of the Master Lease shall be incorporated
herein. In the event of a casualty, Landlord shall have the same rights to
terminate this Lease as are available to Tenant with respect to the Master Lease
pursuant to Article 7 thereof and Tenant shall have the same rights to terminate
this Lease as are available to Landlord, as tenant, with respect to the Master
Lease pursuant to Article 7 thereof. Except as provided in this Section 18, no
damage or destruction of the Premises, shall entitle Tenant to surrender
possession of the Premises and terminate this Lease, nor shall there be any
suspension or abatement of Rent provided for pursuant to the terms of this Lease
as a result of such damage or destruction regardless of whether such damage or
destruction shall have been caused by reason of the fault or neglect of Tenant,
except and only to the extent that Rent (as defined in the Master Lease) is
abated under the terms of the Master Lease.
19. CONDEMNATION
19.1 Taking. If the whole of the Premises or Real Estate are taken or
condemned by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or
purpose, or if any part of the Premises is taken or condemned by any competent
authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose and such taking would
prevent or materially interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises for the
purposes for which the Premises are then being used, the Term of this Lease
shall end upon, and not before, the date of termination of the Master Lease, if
applicable. In such event, the Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be
apportioned as of the date of such termination.
19.2 Partial Taking. If part of the Premises or Real Estate shall be taken
by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose and
this Lease is not terminated as provided in 19.1 above, the Term of this Lease
shall not terminate, but the Rent payable during the then unexpired portion of
the Term of this Lease shall be reduced in the same proportion to the reduction
of Rent (as defined in the Master Lease) under the Master Lease.
19.3 Allocation of Award. Tenant shall have no right to any apportionment
of or share in any condemnation award or judgment for damages caused by or
resulting from any taking or condemnation of the Premises (including any Tenant
Additions) or underlying real property, whether partial or complete, and
Landlord shall be entitled to the whole of such award or judgment subject to the
terms of the Master Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be
permitted to file its own separate claim for the value of its trade fixtures,
equipment and personal property and the cost of moving the same from the
Premises; provided, however, that Tenant's claim for any one or more of the
foregoing items or damages must be separately identified and not a part of and
included in the condemnation award or judgment to Landlord and shall not be
permitted to reduce Landlord's or Master Landlord's award.

20. LANDLORD'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
20.1 Defaults by Tenant. If (i) Tenant defaults in the payment of Rent or
fails to maintain, renew or replace any Letter of Credit or Security Deposit as
required in accordance with Section 30 hereof and such default continues for
three (3) or more days after written notice from Landlord that the same is past
due, provided, however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in
addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure
Section 1161; (ii) Tenant defaults in the prompt and full performance of any
other provision of this Lease and Tenant does not cure the default within
twenty-eight (28) days after written demand by Landlord or Master Landlord that
the default be cured (unless default is not reasonably capable of being cured
within such twenty-eight (28) day period, in which case Tenant shall have such
period of time as may be reasonably required to cure such default, provided that
Tenant commences the cure of such default within such twenty-eight (28) day
period, and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion, and
further provided that in no case shall the cure period hereunder be any longer
than the cure period with respect to such default as provided under the Master
Lease), provided, however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in
addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure
Section 1161; (iii) Tenant enters into a Sublease Transfer without complying
with the provisions of this Lease and the Master Lease and does not cure the
default within twenty-eight (28) days after written demand by Landlord or Master
Landlord that the default be cured; (iv) any voluntary or involuntary petition
or similar pleading under any section or sections of any bankruptcy or
insolvency act shall be filed by or against Tenant; (v) any voluntary or
involuntary proceeding in any court or tribunal shall be instituted to declare
Tenant insolvent or unable to pay Tenant's debts or, to the extent permitted by
law, if Tenant is generally not paying its debts as they become due, or admits,
in writing, that it is unable to pay its debts as they become due; (vi) Tenant
makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (vii) a trustee or
receiver is appointed for Tenant or for the major part of Tenant's property;
(viii) the leasehold interest of Tenant is levied upon under execution or is
attached by process of law; (ix) Tenant abandons the Premises; (x) Tenant fails
to observe or perform one or more of the terms, conditions, covenants or
agreements of any mortgage of Tenant's interest in this Lease beyond any
applicable notice or cure period and the same causes Landlord to be in default
under the Master Lease; or (xi) a default (beyond applicable cure periods) has
occurred under the Master Lease due to any negligence, act, or failure to act by
Tenant or by the Tenant's failure to perform its obligations as set forth herein
including, without limitation, any default under Section 21.1 (l) through (o) of
the Master Lease ((i) through (xi) above, each an "Event of Default"), then
Landlord may, if Landlord so elects but not otherwise, with or without notice of
such election and with or without any demand whatsoever, either terminate this
Lease and Tenant's right to possession of the Premises or, without terminating
this Lease, terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises. An election
by Landlord to terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises without
terminating this Lease shall not preclude a subsequent election by Landlord to
terminate this Lease.
20.2 Surrender of Possession. Upon termination of this Lease following an
Event of Default, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, or upon any termination
of Tenant's right to possession without termination of this Lease, Tenant shall
surrender possession and vacate the Premises immediately, and deliver possession
thereof to Landlord. Tenant hereby grants to Landlord full and free license to
enter into and upon the Premises in such event, with or without process of law,
and to repossess Landlord of the Premises as of Landlord's former estate and to
expel or remove Tenant and any others who may be occupying or within the
Premises and to remove any and all property therefrom, using such force as may
be necessary, without being deemed in any manner guilty of trespass, eviction or
forcible entry or detainer or conversion of property and without relinquishing
Landlord's rights to the Base Rent, Additional Rent or any other charges due
Landlord, or any other right given to Landlord hereunder or by operation of law.
Except for those notices and cure or grace periods expressly afforded Tenant
under Section 20.1, Tenant
15
waives the service of any demand for the payment of any Base Rent, Additional
Rent or any other charges hereunder or for possession and the service of any
notice of Landlord's election to terminate this Lease or to re-enter the
Premises following an election by Landlord under Sections 20.1 to terminate this
Lease or Tenant's right to possession, other than such demand and notice as is
prescribed by any statute in California and agrees that the breach of any
covenant or provision of this Lease by Tenant (after such election by Landlord)
shall, of itself, without the service of any notice or demand whatsoever,
constitute a forcible detainer by Tenant of the Premises within the meaning of
the statutes of the State of California.
20.3 Landlord's Rights After Event of Default.
(a) In addition to the rights set forth herein, following an Event of
Default hereunder, Landlord shall have all of the rights and remedies available
to Master Landlord pursuant to the terms of the Master Lease.
(b) If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease following an Event of
Default, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, not as a penalty but as
consideration for the loss of Landlord's bargain, a sum equal to Landlord's
Damages (hereinafter defined) in payment of the damages Landlord incurred by
reason of Tenant's default. Landlord may draw on any Letter of Credit (as
defined in the Purchase Agreement) or use, apply or retain any Security Deposit
held by Landlord in accordance with Section 30.3 hereof to collect any such
Landlord's Damages. If Landlord elects to terminate Tenant's right to possession
only, without terminating this Lease pursuant to a right granted to Landlord
hereunder, then Landlord may, at Landlord's option, enter into the Premises,
remove Tenant's signs and other evidences of tenancy, and take and hold
possession thereof as provided in Section 20.2 without such entry and possession
terminating this Lease or releasing Tenant, in whole or in part, from Tenant's
obligation to pay Rent for the full Term of this Lease.
(c) After entry into possession without termination of this Lease,
Landlord, if and to the extent required by law, may relet the Premises or any
part thereof for the account of Tenant to any person, firm or corporation other
than Tenant for such rent, for such time and upon such terms as Landlord, in
Landlord's sole discretion, shall determine. Landlord shall not be required to
accept any tenant offered by Tenant or to observe any instructions given by
Tenant about such reletting. In any such case, Landlord may make repairs,
alterations and additions in or to the Premises and redecorate the same to the
extent deemed necessary or desirable by Landlord in order to restore the
Premises to the same condition as Tenant is required to maintain the Premises
under this Lease. Tenant shall, upon demand, pay the cost thereof, together with
Landlord's expenses of the reletting. If the consideration collected by Landlord
upon any reletting of the Premises for Tenant's account is not sufficient to pay
monthly the full amount of Rent reserved in this Lease, together with the cost
of repairs, alterations, additions, redecorating and Landlord's other costs and
expense of regaining possession and reletting the Premises, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord the amount of each monthly deficiency upon demand.
20.4 Removal of Tenant's Property. Any and all property which may be
removed from the Premises by Landlord pursuant to the authority of this Lease or
of law, to which Tenant is or may be entitled, may be handled, removed or stored
in a commercial warehouse or otherwise by Landlord at Tenant's risk, cost and
expense, and Landlord shall not be responsible for the value, preservation or
safekeeping thereof. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, any and all
expenses incurred in such removal and all storage charges against such property
so long as the same shall be in Landlord's possession or under Landlord's
control. Any such property of Tenant not removed from the Premises or retaken
from storage by Tenant within thirty (30) days after the end of the Term shall
be conclusively presumed to have been abandoned by Tenant.
16
20.5 Equitable Relief. If Tenant violates any of the terms and provision
of this Lease or defaults in any of its obligations hereunder, other than the
payment of Rent, such violation may be restrained or such obligation enforced by
injunction or other equitable action.
20.6 No Waivers. No delay or omission of the right to exercise any power
by Landlord shall impair any such right or power, nor shall any such delay or
omission be construed as a waiver of any default or as acquiescence therein. No
waiver by Landlord of any default of Tenant shall be implied to affect, and no
express waiver shall affect, any default other than the default specified in
such waiver and that only for the time and to the extent therein stated. No
receipt of money by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease,
the service of any notice, the commencement of any suit or final judgment for
possession shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term of this Lease or affect
any such notice, demand, suit or judgment. The various rights and remedies of
Landlord contained in this Lease are reserved to Landlord and shall not be
considered as exclusive of any other right or remedy, but shall be construed as
cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy available to Landlord
whether now or at any time hereafter existing at law, in equity, or by statute.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant hereby waives all rights of
redemption or relief from forfeiture under California Civil Procedure Sections
1174 and 1179, or under any other present or future law, in the event Tenant is
evicted or Landlord takes possession of the Premises by reason of any default of
Tenant.
20.7 Landlord's Right to Perform Tenant's Obligations. If at any time
during the Term of this Lease:
(a) Any damage to the Premises results from any act, omission or
neglect of Tenant or of Tenant's contractors, agents or employees (and Tenant
fails to repair the same as required in this Lease prior to the expiration of
the applicable cure period), Landlord may, at Landlord's option, repair such
damage and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord as Additional Rent, upon demand by
Landlord, for the total cost of such repairs in excess of the amount, if any,
paid to Landlord under insurance, if any, covering such damage; or
(b) Tenant at any time fails to make any payment or perform any
other act on its part to be made or performed under this Lease or under the
Master Lease as provided herein that will result in a default under the Master
Lease, Landlord may, at Landlord's sole option, upon not less than five (5) days
prior notice to Tenant (except in the event of an emergency, in which case
telephonic notice only shall be required), make such payment or perform such
obligation (including, without limitation, making any necessary repairs or
performing any necessary work on the Premises in the event of an emergency),
without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligation under this Lease.
20.8 Landlord's Expenses. All reasonable sums paid by Landlord and all
costs, charges and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with (a) the
exercise of any of the Landlord's rights under this Lease and (b) the
enforcement of Tenant's obligations hereunder, or any litigation, negotiation or
transaction in which Tenant causes Landlord, without Landlord's fault, to be
involved or concerned (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees
and costs and interest and penalties for unpaid amounts due to Master Landlord
under the Master Lease or other charges required to be paid or reimbursed by
Tenant) shall be payable upon demand, together with interest thereon at the same
rate applicable to the late payment or nonpayment of Rent as provided in this
Lease.
20.9 Landlord's Damages. As used herein, the term "Landlord's Damages"
shall mean the sum of (i) the Rent specified in this Lease for the remainder of
the stated Term following termination of this Lease or of Tenant's right to
possession, (ii) any other sums or damages then due to Landlord
17
hereunder, and (iii) any other expenses, costs or damages (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs and any damages or
deficiency in the reletting of the Premises) incurred by Landlord in connection
with any default hereunder or any corresponding default under the Master Lease.
20.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. Tenant and Landlord hereby each waive its
right of trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by
either of the parties hereto against the other, or with respect to any issue or
defense raised therein, including the right to an advisory jury (except for
personal injury or property damage), on any matters whatsoever arising out of,
or in any way connected with, this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and
Tenant, Tenant's use and occupancy of said premises, including summary
proceedings and possession actions, and any emergency statutory other statutory
remedy.
20.11 Venue. In the event of any dispute under the terms of this Lease,
the parties agree that the venue for settling the dispute will be placed in Los
Angeles County, State of California and none other.
20.12 Waiver of Right of Redemption. Tenant hereby expressly waives any
and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future laws in
the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed for any cause, or in the event
of Landlord obtaining possession of the Premises, by reason of the violation by
Tenant of any of the covenants and conditions of this Lease or otherwise. No
receipt of monies by Landlord from Tenant after the termination or cancellation
of this Lease, in any lawful manner, shall reinstate, continue or extend the
term of this Lease, or affect any notice theretofore given to Tenant, or operate
as a waiver of the right of Landlord to enforce the payment of fixed or
additional rent or rents then due, or thereafter falling due or operate as a
waiver of the rights of Landlord to recover possession of the Premises by proper
suit, action, proceeding or remedy. It is agreed that, after the service of
notice to terminate or cancel this Lease, or the commencement of suit, action or
summary proceeding, or any other remedy, or after a final order or judgment for
the possession of the Premises, Landlord may demand, receive and collect any
monies due, or thereafter falling due, without, in any manner, affecting such
notice, proceeding, suit, action, order or judgment. Any and all such monies
collected shall be deemed to be payments towards satisfying Tenant's obligations
to Landlord.
21. HOLDING OVER
If Tenant retains possession of the Premises or any part thereof after the
termination of this Lease by lapse of time or otherwise, Tenant shall pay
Landlord, in order to compensate Landlord for Tenant's wrongful withholding of
possession, and during such time as Tenant remains in possession, an amount
calculated at a rate equal to 200% of the Base Rent in effect immediately prior
to such termination, plus any other Rent determined to be due pursuant hereto,
plus all direct and consequential damages sustained by Landlord by reason of
Tenant's wrongful retention of possession. The provisions of this Section shall
not constitute a waiver of Landlord's right of re-entry or of any other right or
remedy provided herein or at law.
22. LANDLORD'S TITLE
Landlord's title is and always shall be paramount to the title of Tenant.
Nothing herein contained shall empower Tenant to do any act which can, shall or
may encumber the title of Landlord or the Master Landlord.
23. QUIET ENJOYMENT
So long as Tenant observes and performs its covenants and agreements
hereunder and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder,
Tenant shall, at all times during the Term, peacefully
18
and quietly have and enjoy possession of the Premises without any encumbrance or
hindrance by, from or through Landlord, its successors or assigns or any person
claiming by, through or under the Landlord, subject to the SITV Sublease.
24. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
24.1 Restrictions on Transfer. Tenant shall not, without the prior written
consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed, (i) assign, transfer or convey this Lease or any
interest hereunder; (ii) suffer to occur or permit to exist any assignment of
this Lease, voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law; (iii) sublet the
Premises or any part thereof; or (iv) otherwise transfer its interest in this
Lease where such transfer would require the consent of Master Landlord pursuant
to the terms of the Master Lease (each, a "Sublease Transfer"); provided
however, that (1) the foregoing shall not apply to Tenant's rights pursuant to
Section 10.1 of the Master Lease (and Landlord's consent shall not be required
in connection therewith), and (2) any Sublease Transfer to a person or entity
that is engaged primarily in the ownership and operation of adult television
entertainment shall be subject to Landlord's consent, which may be granted or
withheld in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion. Landlord's consent to any
Sublease Transfer, when required, shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord's
right to withhold its consent to any future assignment, subletting or transfer.
The consent by Landlord to any Sublease Transfer shall not in any way be
construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining the express consent of Landlord to

Sublease Transfer which notice shall contain the name of the proposed sublessee
or assignee and the proposed principal terms thereof. Upon receipt of such
notice with respect to any such Sublease Transfer, Landlord shall have a period
of thirty (30) days to give notice to Tenant as to whether Landlord is prepared

consent within such thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall be deemed to consent
to such Sublease Transfer.

by the terms of the Master Lease, no Sublease Transfer shall be effective unless
Tenant has obtained the written consent of Master Landlord pursuant to the terms
of the Master Lease.
24.4 Tenant Not Released. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, if Master Landlord and Landlord consent to any proposed
Sublease Transfer by Tenant, the original Tenant shall not be released from any
covenant or obligation under this Lease as a result of such Sublease Transfer.

29. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS
29.1 Binding Nature. The covenants, agreements and obligations herein
contained, except as herein otherwise provided, shall bind, extend to and inure
to the benefit of Landlord and Tenant and their respective successors and
assigns, but nothing contained in this Section 29.1 shall be deemed or construed
to release Tenant from its obligation under Section 24 to first obtain the
written consent of Landlord or Master Landlord with respect to any Transfer.
29.2 Transfer by Landlord. In the event of any transfer of the interest of
Landlord in the Premises, the Landlord making such transfer (whether named
herein or its successor or assign) shall be relieved and fully released of and
from all covenants, agreements and obligations of Landlord contained in this
Lease for all periods of time subsequent to the effective date of such transfer
provided that the transferee assumes the obligations of Landlord hereunder in
writing from and after the effective date of such transfer. Notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary set forth herein or in the Master Lease, any transfer
of the interest of Landlord in the Premises to a direct competitor of Tenant
shall require Tenant's prior written consent, which consent may granted or
withheld in Tenant's sole and absolute discretion.
30. LETTER OF CREDIT
30.1 Delivery; Reductions. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase
Agreement, Tenant shall deliver or cause to be delivered, within five (5)
business days of the Effective Date, a Letter of Credit (as defined in the
Purchase Agreement) to Landlord in an amount of Five Million Dollars
($5,000,000) (the "Original LOC Amount") as security for Tenant's performance of
its obligations under this Lease, which Letter of Credit shall be substantially
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D. Any failure or refusal of the issuer
to honor the letter of credit shall be at Tenant's sole risk and shall not
relieve Tenant of its
21
obligations hereunder. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing hereunder at the time of any proposed reduction in the amount then
available to be drawn under the Letter of Credit (the "LOC Amount"), the LOC
Amount may be reduced commencing on the first day of the first month after which
Tenant's remaining cumulative monetary obligations under this Lease including,
without limitation all Rent due hereunder for the remaining Term of the Lease,
are determined to be less than the Original LOC Amount as determined in
Landlord's reasonable judgment; provided that the LOC Amount may be reduced on a
monthly basis only to the extent that such reduced LOC Amount is not less than
an amount equal to such remaining cumulative monetary obligations hereunder as
determined in Landlord's reasonable discretion. Further, at such time as (i)
this Lease terminates in accordance with its terms and no Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing under this Lease, (ii) Landlord has assigned to
Tenant all of its right, title and interest in and to the Master Lease in
accordance with the terms of the Master Lease, (iii) a replacement Letter of
Credit has been issued in accordance with the provisions of this Section 30, or
(iv) Landlord and Tenant agree in writing, Tenant shall have the right to
terminate the Letter of Credit. Any and all fees and charges in connection with
the establishment, renewal, maintenance, replacement, amendment or drawing with
respect to the Letter of Credit shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant. For
the purposes of the penultimate sentence of this Section 30.1, "Landlord" shall
refer to Landlord or its transferee (as such term is used in the Letter of
Credit).
30.2 Renewals; Failure to Renew. If in any event (i) the Letter of Credit
shall terminate or expire or shall become unenforceable or illegal prior to the
date which is 180 days after the expiration of the Term (unless sooner
terminated in accordance with Section 30.1 above) or (ii) Tenant shall fail to
renew or replace the Letter of Credit (including, without limitation, the
failure to renew or replace an existing Letter of Credit (a) at least thirty
(30) days prior to the termination or scheduled expiration thereof or (b) as
required pursuant to Section 30.4 hereof) and provide evidence of such renewal
or replacement to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the termination or
scheduled expiration thereof or, in the event that Landlord has required a
replacement Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 30.4 below, within
thirty (30) days following written notice as required in Section 30.4 below,
then Landlord shall have the right to draw the full LOC Amount and hold the
proceeds thereof as a security deposit for Tenant's obligations under this Lease
(the "Security Deposit"). Landlord shall not be required to hold any such
Security Deposit in a separate account or in an interest bearing account unless
otherwise required by any applicable laws. If Landlord elects not to draw on the
Letter of Credit, then Tenant shall be obligated to promptly cause a replacement
Letter of Credit to be issued in accordance with the terms hereof. If Landlord
elects to draw on the Letter of Credit and Tenant thereafter causes a
replacement Letter of Credit to be issued, Landlord shall refund the Security
Deposit to Tenant within ten (10) days following the issuance of such
replacement Letter of Credit.
30.3 Draws; Application of Security Deposit. If an Event of Default (other
than an Event of Default arising from the failure of Tenant to maintain, replace
or renew the Letter of Credit as required pursuant to Section 30.2 above) has
occurred and is continuing hereunder, including, but not limited to, the failure
to pay Rent (for the avoidance of doubt, in determining whether an Event of
Default has occurred with respect to the payment of Rent hereunder, Landlord
shall be entitled to rely upon a notice from Master Landlord that rent has not
been timely paid under the Master Lease, absent evidence reasonably acceptable
to Landlord to the contrary), then Landlord may draw on the Letter of Credit
(or, if applicable, use, apply or retain the whole or any part of any Security
Deposit and the interest accrued thereon, if any) to the extent required to cure
any monetary Event of Default or for the recovery of any Landlord's Damages
incurred as a result of an Event of Default to the extent that Landlord would be
entitled to such recovery pursuant to the terms of Section 20.3 above (the "Draw
Amount"). If Landlord shall so draw upon the Letter of Credit (or, if
applicable, use, or retain the whole or any part of any Security Deposit or the
interest accrued thereon, if any), Tenant shall upon demand immediately either
(i)
22
cause the existing Letter of Credit to be increased by the Draw Amount or (cause
an additional Letter of Credit to be issued in the amount of the Draw Amount
such that, in either event, the total LOC Amount (by one or more Letters of
Credit) is equal to the amount of required security per Section 30.1 above or
(ii) deposit with Landlord a sum equal to the Draw Amount to cause the Security
Deposit to be equal to the amount of required security per Section 30.1 above.
Upon Tenant's satisfaction of either clause (i) or (ii) above, the Event of
Default in respect of which the Draw Amount was applied shall be deemed cured to
such extent.
30.4 Rating of Issuer. In the event that the credit rating of any issuer
of a Letter of Credit falls below Investment Grade (as defined below), then at
Landlord's written request, Tenant shall be obligated to deliver or cause to be
delivered a replacement Letter of Credit from a third party financial
institution with an Investment Grade rating as reasonably approved by Landlord
in the amount then required pursuant to Section 30.1 above no later than thirty
(30) days following written notice from Landlord. "Investment Grade" shall mean
a credit rating of Baa or better from Xxxxx'x Investors Service or BBB or better
from Standard and Poor's. Upon receipt by Landlord of the replacement Letter of
Credit, Landlord shall return the original Letter of Credit for cancellation to
the issuer bank and submit such certificate(s) as required by the terms of the
Letter of Credit to cause cancellation of the original Letter of Credit as
promptly as possible. Upon replacement as provided herein, the replacement
Letter of Credit shall be deemed the Letter of Credit for all purposes under
this Lease and the Purchase Agreement.
30.5 Transfers. The Letter of Credit and/or Security Deposit may be
transferred and assigned by the beneficiary thereof to any transferee that has
succeeded to Landlord's obligations under this Lease in accordance with Section
29.2 above. Any and all fees for a transfer and/or assignment charged by the
issuer of the Letter of Credit shall be payable by Tenant.
30.6 Substitute Letter of Credit. Upon 15 days written notice to Landlord,
Tenant may deliver a substitute a letter of credit (the "Substitute Letter of
Credit") in place of the Letter of Credit. Such Substitute Letter of Credit
shall be issued by a third party financial institution with an Investment Grade
rating as defined above as reasonably approved by Landlord in the amount then
required pursuant to Section 30.1 and shall have substantially the same terms
and conditions as the Letter of Credit. The Applicant under the Substitute
Letter of Credit may be Tenant, ***** or any affiliate of Tenant or ***** or any
other party designated in writing by Tenant or *****. Upon receipt by Landlord
of the Substitute Letter of Credit, Landlord shall return for cancellation the
Letter of Credit to the issuer bank and submit such certificate(s) as required
by the terms of the Letter of Credit to cause cancellation of the Letter of
Credit as promptly as possible. Upon substitution as provided herein, the
Substitute Letter of Credit shall be deemed the Letter of Credit for all
purposes under this Lease and the Purchase Agreement.

Master Landlord grants its consent to such action.
31.3 No Partnership. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed or
