that: (i) the Lessor shall have no liability to the Lessee if it fails to provide any invoice, (ii) the failure to provide any invoice shall not affect the rights of the Lessor hereunder in any manner whatsoever and (iii) the failure to provide any invoice shall not extend the due date of any payment of Basic Rent.

12


occurred and be continuing and subject to the provisions of Articles VII, IX and X and Section 8.3, the Lessor hereby consents in each instance to the following actions by the Lessee as the Lessor’s agent, and the Lessor hereby appoints the Lessee as the Lessor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of the Lessor to take such action or actions from time to time during the Basic Term, but at the Lessee’s sole cost and expense: (a) the granting of easements, licenses, rights-of-way and other rights and privileges in the nature of easements reasonably necessary or desirable for the use, repair, or maintenance of any Property as herein provided or that do not adversely affect the Fair Market Sales Value of such Property; (b) the release of existing easements or other rights in the nature of easements which are for the benefit of any Property; (c) the dedication or transfer of unimproved portions of any Property for road, highway or other public or common purposes; (d) the execution of amendments to any existing covenants and restrictions; (e) the filing and processing of any and all permit applications, authorizations, entitlements, agreements with any government or regulatory agency or amendments thereof, or other documents reasonably required or beneficial for construction or Modification of the Improvements, or amendments to Permitted Liens or governmental permits or approvals affecting any Property; and (f) the execution, processing and filing of tract or parcel maps (and certificates of compliance for any lot line adjustments) subdividing the Land into lots or parcels or reconfiguring existing lots or parcels; provided, however, that in each case (i) such grant, release, dedication, transfer or amendment does not adversely affect the Fair Market Sales Value of the applicable Property, (ii) such grant, release, dedication, transfer or amendment that in the Lessee’s judgment is reasonably necessary or beneficial in connection with the use, maintenance, alteration or improvement of the applicable Property, (iii) such grant, release, dedication, transfer or amendment will not cause applicable Property or any portion thereof to fail to comply with the provisions of this Lease or any other Operative Documents and all Applicable Law (including, without limitation, all applicable zoning, planning, building and subdivision ordinances, all applicable restrictive covenants and all applicable architectural approval requirements); (iv) any and all governmental consents or approvals required prior to such grant, release, dedication, transfer, annexation or amendment have been obtained, and any and all filings required prior to such action have been made; (v) the Lessee shall remain obligated under this Lease and under any instrument executed by the Lessee consenting to the assignment of the Lessor’s interests in this Lease as security for indebtedness, in each such case in accordance with their terms, substantially as though such grant, release, dedication, transfer or amendment had not been effected and (vi) the Lessee shall pay and perform any obligations of the Lessor under such grant, release, dedication, transfer or amendment. The Lessor acknowledges the Lessee’s right to finance and to secure under the Uniform Commercial Code, inventory, furnishings, furniture, equipment, machinery, leasehold improvements and other personal property located at each Property, and the Lessor agrees to execute Lessor waiver forms and release of Lessor Liens in favor of any purchase money seller, lessor or lender which has financed or may finance in the future such items.

SECTION 14.1. Casualty and Condemnation.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article XIV, if all or a portion of any Property is damaged or destroyed in whole or in part by a Casualty or if the use, access, occupancy, easement rights or title to any Property or any part thereof, is the subject of a Condemnation, or title to any Property is found to be defective then

(i) in the case of a Casualty affecting any Property that is not an Event of Loss, any insurance proceeds payable with respect to such Casualty shall be paid directly to the Lessee (or if received by the Lessor, shall be paid over to the Lessee) for the sole purpose of reconstruction, refurbishment and repair of the

 

17


Property; provided, however, that in the event that either (x) such reconstruction, refurbishment or repair cannot be completed prior to the end of the Basic Term or (y) the Lessee shall elect not to use such proceeds for the reconstruction, refurbishment or repair of the applicable Property, then all such insurance proceeds payable with respect to such Casualty shall be paid to the Lessor to be applied towards the payment of the Lease Balance in accordance with Section 7.6 of the Participation Agreement,

(ii) in the case of a Condemnation of any part of any Property that is not an Event of Loss, any ward or compensation relating thereto shall be paid directly to the Lessee (or if received by the Lessor, shall be paid over to the Lessee) for the sole purpose of restoration of the Property; provided, however, that if such restoration cannot be completed prior to the end of the Basic Term, then such award or compensation shall be paid to the Lessor to be applied in the Lessor’s and the Participants’ reasonable discretion to the partial restoration of the applicable Property or towards the payment of the Lease Balance in accordance with Section 7.6 of the Participation Agreement,

(iii) in the case of any Casualty or Condemnation affecting any Property that is an Event of Loss, such proceeds, award or compensation shall be paid to the Lessor to be applied in the Lessor’s and the Lenders’ reasonable discretion to the restoration of the applicable Property or toward the payment of the Lease Balance on the Termination Date in accordance with Article XV, and

(iv) in the case where a defect in title results in compensation from a title insurance policy and no Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing then such insurance proceeds shall be paid to the Lessee and shall be used to cure such defect in title;

provided, however, that, in each case, if a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such award, compensation or insurance proceeds shall be paid directly to the Lessor or, if received by the Lessee, shall be held in trust for the Lessor and the Lenders, and shall be paid by the Lessee to the Payment Account to be distributed in accordance with Article VII of the Participation Agreement. All amounts held by the Lessor or the Lenders when a Lease Event of Default exists hereunder on account of any award, compensation or insurance proceeds either paid directly to the Lessor, any Lender or the Administrative Agent or turned over to the Lessor, any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall at the option of the Lessor either be (i) paid to the Lessee for the repair of damage caused by such Casualty or Condemnation in accordance with clause (d) of this Section 14.1 or to cure any defect in title to any applicable Property, or (ii) applied to the repayment of the Lease Balance on the Termination Date with respect to such Property in accordance with Article VII of the Participation Agreement.

(b) The Lessee may appear in any proceeding or action to negotiate, prosecute, adjust or appeal any claim for any award, compensation or insurance payment on account of any such Casualty or Condemnation and shall pay all expenses thereof. At the Lessee’s reasonable request, and at the

 

18


Lessee’s sole cost and expense, the Lessor and the Lenders shall participate in any such proceeding, action, negotiation, prosecution or adjustment. The Lessor and the Lessee agree that this Lease shall control the rights of the Lessor and the Lessee in and to any such award, compensation or insurance payment.

(c) If the Lessor or the Lessee shall receive notice of a Casualty or of an actual, pending or threatened Condemnation of any Property or any interest therein, the Lessor or the Lessee, as the case may be, shall give notice thereof to the other and to the Administrative Agent promptly after the receipt of such notice.

(d) If pursuant to this Section 14.1 and Section 15.1, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect following a Casualty or Condemnation with respect to a Property, the Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense (and, without limitation, if any award, compensation or insurance payment is not sufficient to restore such Property in accordance with this clause (d), the Lessee shall pay the shortfall), promptly and diligently repair any damage to the applicable Property caused by such Casualty or Condemnation in conformity with the requirements of Sections 8.3 and 9.1, to restore the applicable Property to at least the same condition, operative value and useful life as existed immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation. In such event, title to such Property shall remain with the Lessor subject to the terms of this Lease. Upon completion of such restoration, the Lessee shall furnish to the Lessor (which, in turn, shall furnish to the Administrative Agent) an architect’s certificate of substantial completion and an Authorized Officer’s Certificate confirming that such restoration has been completed pursuant to this Lease.

(e) In no event shall a Casualty or Condemnation affect the Lessee’s obligations to pay Rent pursuant to Section 3.1 or to perform its obligations and pay any amounts due on the Expiration Date or pursuant to Articles XVIII and XXI.

(f) Any Excess Casualty/Condemnation Proceeds received by the Administrative Agent or any Participant in respect of a Casualty or Condemnation shall be turned over to the Lessee (i) where the Property is repaired, upon payment in full of all repair costs for such Property and (ii) where the Property is not repaired, upon the payment in full of the Lease Balance allocable to such Property.

SECTION 14.2. Environmental Matters. Promptly upon a senior officer of Lessee obtaining knowledge of the existence of an Environmental Violation with respect to any Property the cost to Lessee for the remediation of which the Lessee determines in its reasonable good faith judgement would exceed $2,500,000, the Lessee shall notify the Lessor in writing of such Environmental Violation. The Lessee shall, without cost or expense to Lessor or any Participant, promptly and diligently commence or cause to be commenced any response, clean up, remedial or other action required by Applicable Law to remove, clean up or remediate each Environmental Violation in accordance with the terms of Section 8.3 (including the last sentence thereof). The Lessee shall, upon completion of remedial action by the Lessee for Environmental Violations described in the first sentence of Section 14.2, cause to be prepared by an environmental consultant reasonably acceptable to the Lessor a report describing such Environmental Violation and the actions taken by the Lessee (or its agents) in response to such

 

19


Environmental Violation, and a statement by the consultant that such Environmental Violation has been remedied in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws. Each Environmental Violation shall be remedied prior to the Expiration Date unless the Property has been purchased by the Lessee in accordance with Section 18.1. Nothing in this Article XIV shall reduce or limit the Lessee’s obligations under Sections 13.1, 13.2 or 13.3 of the Participation Agreement.

SECTION 14.3. Notice of Environmental Matters. Promptly, but in any event within thirty (30) Business Days from the date a senior officer of the Lessee obtains knowledge thereof pursuant to written notice from any Governmental Authority, the Lessee shall provide to the Lessor written notice of any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding involving any Environmental Laws or any Release on or in connection with any Property. All such notices shall describe in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, action or proceeding and the Lessee’s proposed response thereto. In addition, the Lessee shall provide to the Lessor, within thirty (30) Business Days of receipt, copies of all written communications with any Governmental Authority relating to any such Environmental Violation in connection with any Property. The Lessee shall also promptly provide such detailed reports of any such environmental claims. In the event that the Lessor receives written notice of any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding involving any Environmental Laws or any Release on or in connection with any Property, the Lessor shall promptly give notice thereof to the Lessee. For purposes of this paragraph, “actual knowledge” of the Lessee shall mean the actual knowledge of the Lessee’s senior officer responsible for day to day operations of such Property.

(i) a Significant Condemnation, or

and the Lessor shall have given written notice (a “Termination Notice”) to the Lessee that as a consequence of the occurrence of such an event, (x) the Lease Supplement relating to such Property is to be terminated and (y) this Lease is to be terminated with respect to such Property, then, the Lessee shall be obligated to purchase the Lessor’s interest in the affected Property on or prior to the date occurring one-hundred eighty (180) days after the date of Lessor’s notice of termination by paying the Lessor an amount equal to the Lease Balance allocable to such affected Property; provided that Lessee shall be permitted to reparcelize or adjust the lot lines of the affected Property to the extent necessary to permit this Lease to continue in effect with respect to the remainder of the affected Property not damaged or taken by the applicable Significant Casualty or Significant Condemnation.

SECTION 15.2. Termination Procedures. On the date of the payment by the Lessee of the Lease Balance allocable to the affected Property (or if less than the entire Property is affected, such portion of the Lease Balance as is allocable to the affected portion of the Property as is necessary for the Fair Market Sales Value of the remaining Property to be equal to the remaining Lease Balance) and other amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 15.1 (such date, the “Termination Date”), this Lease shall terminate with respect to such Property (or such affected portion thereof) and, concurrent with the Lessor’s receipt of such payment, the Lessor shall transfer to the Lessee (or its designee) all of the Lessor’s interest in the such Property (or such affected portion thereof) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 21.1, provided that such transfer shall include an assignment of all of Lessor’s right, title and interest in any net Proceeds with respect to such Property not previously received by Lessor.

ARTICLE XVII

LESSOR’S RIGHT TO CURE

SECTION 17.1. The Lessor’s Right to Cure the Lessee’s Lease Defaults. The Lessor, without waiving or releasing any obligation or Lease Event of Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) remedy any Lease Event of Default for the account and at the sole cost and expense of the Lessee, including the failure by the Lessee to maintain the insurance required by Article XIII, and may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and notwithstanding any right of quiet enjoyment in favor of the Lessee, enter upon any Property for such purpose and take all such action thereon as may be necessary or appropriate therefor. No such entry shall be deemed an eviction of the Lessee. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses so incurred (including fees and expenses of counsel), together with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate from the date on which such sums or expenses are paid by the Lessor, shall be paid by the Lessee to the Lessor as Supplemental Rent.

ARTICLE XVIII

PURCHASE PROVISIONS

SECTION 18.1. Purchase of the Property. Subject to the conditions contained herein, the Lessee shall have the irrevocable option on any Business Day to purchase any or all of the Properties subject to this Lease at a price (the “Purchase Price”) equal to that portion of the Lease Balance allocable to the applicable Property or Properties on the date of such purchase, plus Break Costs (if any). The Lessee’s exercise of its option pursuant to this Section 18.1 shall be subject to the condition that the Lessee shall have delivered a Purchase Notice to the Lessor not less than thirty (30) days prior to such purchase, specifying the date of such purchase:

If the Lessee exercises its option pursuant to this Section 18.1 then, upon the Lessor’s receipt of all amounts due in connection therewith, the Lessor shall transfer to the Lessee

 

26


or its designee all of the Lessor’s right, title and interest in and to the applicable Properties in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 21.1(a), such transfer to be effective as of the date specified in the Purchase Notice. The Lessee may designate, in a notice given to the Lessor not less than thirty (30) days prior to the closing of such purchase (time being of the essence), the transferee or transferees to whom the conveyance shall be made (if other than to the Lessee), in which case such conveyance shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein) be made to such designee; provided, however, that such designation of a transferee or transferees shall not cause the Lessee to be released, fully or partially, from any of its obligations under this Lease, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay to the Lessor that portion of the Lease Balance allocable to the applicable Properties on the date specified in the applicable Purchase Notice. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Lessee may only exercise the Purchase Option for less than all of the Property located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida (commonly known as Cambridge I and Cambridge II) so long as, after giving effect to such purchase, the aggregate Fair Market Sales Value (as determined by an Appraisal) of such remaining Property subject to this Lease would be at least equal to 90% of the remaining Lease Balance for such Property. Property (or portions thereof) remaining subject to this Lease after any such purchase shall constitute one or more legal parcels and separate tax lots and have in effect all subdivision approvals required by Applicable Law. In the event the Lessee exercises the Purchase Option with respect to less than an entire Property, the Lessee must establish prior to the purchase date, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Lessor and Administrative Agent, that the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence have been fulfilled. The Lessee shall have the right to elect by written notice to the Lessor and the Administrative Agent to have all or part of the Purchase Price paid by liquidation of the Collateral so long as, in the case of a purchase of less than all the Properties, sufficient Collateral remains subject to the Pledge Agreement. In addition, the Lessee may effect any such purchase by assumption of the Loans relating to the portion of the Lease Balance to be paid and paying to the Lessor the related Lessor Amount.

ARTICLE XIX

EXTENSION OF EXPIRATION DATE

SECTION 19.1. Extension of Expiration Date. The Lessee may extend the Expiration Date subject to, and in accordance with, the terms and conditions of Section 11.1 of the Participation Agreement.

ARTICLE XX

REMARKETING OPTION

SECTION 20.1. Option to Remarket. Subject to the fulfillment of each of the conditions set forth in this Section 20.1 and in Section 20.2 (such conditions, collectively, the “Return Conditions”), the Lessee shall have the option (the “Remarketing Option”) to market all (but not less than all) of the Property subject to this Lease on behalf of the Lessor.

 

27


The Lessee’s effective exercise and consummation of the Remarketing Option shall be subject to the due and timely fulfillment of each of the following provisions as to the Property as of the dates set forth below:

(a) Not later than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the scheduled Basic Term Expiration Date, the Lessee shall give to the Lessor written notice of the Lessee’s exercise of the Remarketing Option. Failure by the Lessee to give timely notice shall be deemed to be an election by the Lessee, without further act thereby, of its Purchase Option for each Property.

(b) Not later than ninety (90) days prior to the scheduled Basic Term Expiration Date, the Lessee shall deliver to the Lessor an Environmental Audit for each Property. Such Environmental Audit shall be prepared by an environmental consultant selected by the Lessee, with the approval of the Lessor not to be unreasonably withheld and shall conclude that the environmental status of the Property complies with Applicable Law. If any such Environmental Audit indicates any exceptions that are required to be remediated under any Applicable Law, the Lessee shall have also delivered prior to the scheduled Basic Term Expiration Date a Phase Two environmental assessment by an environmental consultant selected by the Lessee and approved by the Lessor and a written statement by such environmental consultant indicating that all such exceptions have been remedied in compliance with Applicable Law.

(c) No Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing that shall not have been cured on or prior to the Expiration Date.

(d) All Modifications, restoration, rebuilding and remediation of each Property required under this Lease shall have been completed prior to the date on which the Lessor receives notice of the Lessee’s intention to exercise the Remarketing Option, and, on or prior to the Expiration Date, each Property shall be in good repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted).

(e) Each Property shall be free and clear of all Liens (including Permitted Liens) other than Lessor Liens and the Liens of the Security Documents (which shall be removed upon closing and the receipt by the Lessor of the Lease Balance). The Lessee shall not have been excused pursuant to Section 12.1 from complying with any Applicable Law that involved the extension of the ultimate imposition of such Applicable Law beyond the scheduled Basic Term Expiration Date.

(f) The Lessee shall permit inspection of each Property and any maintenance records relating to the Property by the Participants, the Administrative Agent and any prospective purchasers, and shall allow the Participants, the Administrative Agent and any prospective purchaser reasonable access to such Property for the purpose of inspecting the same.

(g) During the Marketing Period, the Lessee shall, as nonexclusive agent for the Lessor, use reasonable commercial efforts to sell the Lessor’s interest in each Property for not less than the Fair Market Sales Value, and shall use reasonable commercial efforts to procure bids from one or more bona fide prospective purchasers. No such purchaser shall be an Obligor or an Affiliate of any Obligor, but the Lessor and the other Participants may submit one or more bids for Property. The Lessee shall deliver to the Lessor

 

28


and the other Participants all bids for Property received from prospective purchasers within five (5) days of the Lessee’s receipt of each such bid.

(h) The Lessee shall use reasonable efforts to obtain at its cost and expense, all required governmental and regulatory consents and approvals and shall have made all filings as required by Applicable Law in order to carry out and complete the transfer of each Property. As to the Lessor, any such sale shall be made on an “as is, with all faults” basis without representation or warranty by the Lessor other than the absence of Lessor Liens and Liens arising under the Security Documents.

(i) The Lessee shall pay directly, and not from the sale proceeds, all prorations and credits, whether incurred by the Lessor or the Lessee, including without limitation, the cost of all environmental reports, appraisals required under Section 13.2 of the Participation Agreement and the Lessee’s attorneys’ fees, provided, however, upon the sale of Property the Lessee shall be reimbursed for such expenses by the Lessor.

(j) The Lessee shall pay to the Lessor on or prior to the scheduled Basic Term Expiration Date (or in the case of Supplemental Rent, to the Person entitled thereto) an amount equal to the Maximum Recourse Amount plus all accrued and unpaid Rent and all other amounts hereunder which have accrued or will accrue prior to or as of the scheduled Basic Term Expiration Date, in the type of funds specified in Section 3.4 hereof.

(k) The Lessee shall pay to the Lessor on or prior to the scheduled Basic Term Expiration Date the amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to Section 13.2 of the Participation Agreement.

(l) The gross proceeds (the “Gross Remarketing Proceeds”) of the sale of the Property (less any closing costs or commissions related to the sale of the Property) shall be paid directly to the Lessor and shall be distributed by the Lessor to the Administrative Agent for distribution in accordance with Section 7.4 of the Participation Agreement.

(m) All Necessary Permits shall be in effect and shall on the scheduled Basic Term Expiration Date be assigned or transferred to the Lessor to the extent assignable or transferable.

SECTION 20.2. Conveyance upon Remarketing. If the Lessee elects the Remarketing Option then the Lessee shall, in addition to making the payment required pursuant to Section 20.1(k) above, at its own cost and expense (which costs and expenses shall be reimbursed by the Lessor upon a sale of the Property), do each of the following:

(a) on or prior to the Expiration Date, execute and deliver to the Lessor (or the Lessor’s designee) or, if the Lessor has accepted any bid for Property, to the applicable purchaser of the Property, the following: (i) instruments of transfer covering all of the Lessee’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Property, containing representations and warranties of grantor to the Lessor (or such other Person) solely regarding the absence of Liens (other than Lessor Liens and the Liens of the Security Documents), (ii) a bills of sale conveying to the Lessor (or such other Person) all of the Lessee’s interest “AS IS” in all equipment and

 

29


other personal property constituting part of the Property and (iii) an assignment of all of the Lessee’s interest in the Property (which shall include an assignment of all of the Lessee’s right, title and interest in and to all Necessary Permits (to the extent assignable) and all awards, compensation and insurance proceeds payable in connection with any Casualty or Condemnation affecting the Property and an assignment of all subleases relating to the Property), in each case in recordable form and otherwise in conformity with local custom and free and clear of any Liens attributable to the Obligors;

(b) on or prior to the Expiration Date, execute and deliver to the Lessor and the Lessor’s title insurance company an affidavit as to the absence of any Liens (other than Lessor Liens and the Liens of the Security Documents), and shall execute and deliver to the Lessor a statement of termination of this Lease;

(c) on or prior to the Expiration Date, vacate the Property and transfer possession of the Property to the Lessor (or its designee) or, if the Lessor has accepted any bid for the Property, to the applicable purchaser of the Property, by surrendering the same into the possession of the Lessor or such Person, as the case may be, in the condition required by Section 20.1, free and clear of all Liens (other than Lessor Liens and the Liens of the Security Documents), in good condition (as modified by Modifications permitted by this Lease), ordinary wear and tear excepted, and in compliance with Applicable Law (including Environmental Laws); and

(d) for a period of up to six (6) months after the Expiration Date, cooperate reasonably with the Lessor and/or any Person designated by the Lessor to receive the Property, which cooperation shall include reasonable efforts with respect to the following, all of which the Lessee shall do on or before the Expiration Date for the Property or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable: providing copies of all books and records regarding the maintenance and ownership of the Property and all know-how, data and technical information relating thereto, providing a current copy of the applicable Plans and Specifications, granting or assigning all assignable licenses necessary for the maintenance and operation of the Property and cooperating reasonably in seeking and obtaining all necessary Governmental Action. The obligations of the Lessee under this paragraph shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease for six (6) months only.

If one or more of the Return Conditions shall not be fulfilled as of the applicable date for such fulfillment, then the Remarketing Option shall be null and void (whether or not it has been theretofore exercised by the Lessee), in which event all of the Lessee’s rights under this Article XX shall immediately terminate and the Lessee shall purchase from the Lessor, and the Lessor shall convey to the Lessee, on the Expiration Date all of the Lessor’s interest in the Properties for an amount equal to the Lease Balance.

SECTION 20.3. Acceptance of Bids. The Lessor in its sole discretion shall decide whether to accept any bid obtained by the Lessee for the purchase of the Properties, and the Lessee shall not have any right, power or authority to bind the Lessor or the Participants in connection with any proposed sale of such Property; provided, however, that the Lessor shall accept any all-cash bid from a bona fide purchaser (other than a prospective purchaser that is an Obligor or an Affiliate of an Obligor) that is in an amount that

 

30


exceeds the difference between (x) the Lease Balance plus all Permitted Remarketing Costs (provided, however, with respect to Permitted Remarketing Costs the Lessee agrees that it shall not incur expenses in excess of $100,000, without the written permission of the Lessor) and (y) the Maximum Recourse Amount. The Lessor shall have the right, but shall be under no duty, to solicit bids, to inquire into the efforts of the Lessee to obtain bids or otherwise to take action in connection with any such sale.

SECTION 20.4. Certain Obligations Continue. During the Marketing Period, the obligation of the Lessee to pay Rent with respect to the Properties (including the installment of Rent due on the Expiration Date) shall continue undiminished until payment in full of the Maximum Recourse Amount and all accrued and unpaid Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent due to the Lessor with respect to the Properties under the Operative Documents to which the Lessee is a party.

SECTION 23.2. Security for Obligations.

ARTICLE XXIV

INTENT OF THE PARTIES

It is the intent of the parties that: (i) the Lease constitutes an operating lease from Lessor to the Lessee for purposes of the Lessee’s financial reporting, (ii) the Lease and other transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents will result in the Lessee being recognized as the owner of each Property for Federal and state income tax and bankruptcy purposes, (iii) the Lessor and the Lender will be deemed to have financed the Lessee in an amount equal to the Lease Balance and the obligations of the Lessee to pay Basic Rent and any part of the Lease Balance shall be treated as payments of interest and principal, respectively, for Federal and state income tax and bankruptcy purposes and (iv) the Lease and the Security Documents grant to the Lessor a Lien on the Lessee’s interest in the Properties. Each of the parties hereto agrees that Lessee shall be entitled to all tax benefits available to the owner of the Properties and neither party will, nor will it permit any Affiliate to at any time, take any action or fail to take any action with respect to the preparation or filing of any income tax return, including an amended income tax return, to the extent that such action or such failure to take action would be inconsistent with the intention of the parties expressed in this Section 25.1. The parties hereto intend and agree that in the event of any insolvency or receivership proceedings or a petition under the United States Bankruptcy laws or any State or Commonwealth thereof affecting Lessee, Lessor or any Participant, or any collection actions pursuant thereto or otherwise, the transactions evidenced by the Operative Documents shall be regarded as loans made by the Participants to the Lessee.
