Lessor may condition its approval upon receipt of a report from the Construction Consultant, or at the option of Administrative Agent, an appraisal from the Appraiser (or another appraiser of nationally recognized standing and approved by Lessor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) with the cost of such report or appraisal constituting a Project Cost to be funded with an Advance subject to the proviso at Section 3.4(a) of the Transaction Agreement, to determine (by appraisal or other methods satisfactory to Lessor) the projected Fair Market Value, utility, useful life and residual value of the Leased Property following completion of such Project Change, such report to be requested promptly following Construction Agent’s request for a Project Change.

(c)

Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the other Operative Documents to the contrary, Construction Agent shall not (i) except as set forth in (a) or (b) above, amend, modify or waive any Major Project Agreement or increase any amounts payable by the owner or Lessor thereunder or extend the completion date thereunder or (ii) terminate any Major Project Agreement, exercise any material remedies thereunder, extend the completion date thereunder beyond the Outside Completion Date, or increase the guaranteed maximum price thereunder, in each case without the prior written consent of Lessor and Administrative Agent.

Section 3.2.     Casualty, Condemnation and Liquidated Damages.

(b)

If Construction Agent reasonably determines that a Casualty, Condemnation or Force Majeure Event will cause Substantial Completion to occur later than the Outside Completion Date, Construction Agent may request that the applicable Outside Completion Date be extended by the Participants. Any such request shall be in writing delivered to Lessor and Administrative Agent. The consent of Lessor and the other Participants under this Section 3.2(b) may be given in the exercise of Lessor or such Participant’s sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary covered herein, in the event that (i) an Event of Loss or (ii) a Significant Environmental Event occurs that, in Lessor’s and Administrative Agent’s opinion, will cause Substantial Completion to occur later than the Outside Completion Date or for an amount in excess of the Aggregate Commitment Amount, Lessor and the other Participants may nonetheless in their respective sole and absolute discretion require Construction Agent to complete Construction of the Facility in accordance with the terms hereof and of the other Operative Documents and, if necessary, in Lessor’s and such Participants’ sole discretion, extend the Outside Completion Date to a date necessary to achieve Substantial Completion and/or increase the Commitment Amount to an amount necessary to achieve Substantial Completion and in such event, Lessor and the other Participants may in their sole discretion require Construction Agent to complete Construction of the Facility by the Outside Completion Date as extended and for the Commitment Amounts as increased pursuant to the terms hereof and of the other Operative Documents.

All such notices shall describe in reasonable detail the nature of the Environmental Violation, including any claims, actions or proceedings in respect thereof, and Construction Agent’s proposed response thereto. In addition, Construction Agent shall provide to Lessor and Administrative Agent, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt, copies of all written communications with any Governmental Authority relating to any such Environmental Violation. Construction Agent shall also promptly provide such detailed reports of any such Environmental Violation as may reasonably be requested by Lessor or Administrative Agent. Construction Agent shall, at its expense, investigate, remediate and/or take all other actions as required by Environmental Law to fully address such Environmental Violation and upon completion thereof by Construction Agent, Construction Agent shall cause to be prepared by an environmental consultant reasonably acceptable to Lessor and Administrative Agent a report describing the Environmental Violation and the actions taken by Construction Agent (or its agents) in response to such Environmental Violation, and a statement

Section 5.3.     Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Construction Agency Agreement Event of Default, at Lessor’s option and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any other right or remedy Lessor may have on account of such Construction Agency Agreement Event of Default (including any remedies under any other Operative Document), and without any further demand or notice, Lessor may cause the following to occur:

(a)

Without limiting any other remedies set forth in this Agreement or in any of the other Operative Documents, Lessor and Construction Agent agree that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Construction Agency Agreement Event of Default, Lessor shall have all the rights and may pursue any of the remedies provided to it in the Lease, the terms and provisions of which Lease are incorporated herein by this reference. Lessor may foreclose the lien of the Lease or any Security Instrument on the Leased Property and the other Collateral or any portion thereof, in which event

Construction Agent shall, pay to Administrative Agent, upon demand, the Lease Balance and all other costs and expenses incurred by Lessor, Administrative Agent and the Participants (including Breakage Costs and Default Completion Costs), in either case to the extent not previously paid by Construction Agent to Administrative Agent pursuant to the final paragraph of Section 5.1.

(b)

Lessor may continue this Agreement in effect for so long as Lessor shall determine, and Lessor may enforce all of Lessor’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and require the continued performance and completion of Construction Agent’s obligations with respect to any or all of the Project Agreements and the Site Obligations as herein described, so long as Lessor satisfies its obligations under Section 4.1; and Construction Agent shall be liable to Lessor for all Default Completion Costs with respect to the Facility, which amounts shall be payable by Construction Agent from time to time during the term hereof to such Persons (including Lessor) and in such amounts as Lessor may designate. In addition, if Lessor has not elected to terminate this Agreement as provided herein, if requested by Lessor, Construction Agent shall continue diligently to perform its obligations hereunder, including the Site Obligations, in accordance with this Agreement, so long as Lessor provides the funding provided for in Section 4.1 (without regard to the occurrence of the Construction Agency Agreement Event of Default). If Advances, at any time, are no longer available under the Transaction Agreement (as determined without regard to the occurrence of the Construction Agency Agreement Event of Default), Construction Agent shall pay to Lessor prepaid rent (“Prepaid Rent”) in amounts necessary to fund all costs to complete the Site Obligations, including all amounts of Capitalized Yield, Capitalized Fees and Capitalized Contingent Rent that accrue or are payable during the period from the occurrence of the Construction Agency Agreement Event of Default through the Facility Completion Date, which amounts shall be payable by Construction Agent from time to time prior to the Facility Completion Date to such Persons (including Lessor), for costs of construction consistent in type as those contemplated by the Project Budget and in such amounts as Lessor may designate and, in the case of Capitalized Yield, Capitalized Fees and Capitalized Contingent Rent, in accordance with the terms of the Operative Documents (absent manifest error).

(c)

Lessor may terminate this Agreement at any time, notwithstanding a prior election under Section 5.3(b), and cause Substantial Completion to occur (including the performance of all of Lessor’s rights and obligations under the Project Agreements which would otherwise be performed by Construction Agent hereunder) directly through Lessor or one or more successor agents and designees and Construction Agent shall be liable to Lessor for all Default Completion Costs.

(d)

Lessor may exercise any other right or remedy that may be available to it under Applicable Laws or in equity, or proceed by appropriate court action (legal or equitable) to enforce the terms or to recover damages for the breach hereof.

(e)

As a matter of right and without notice to Construction Agent or anyone claiming under Construction Agent, and without regard to the then value of the Collateral or the interest of Construction Agent therein, Lessor shall have the right to apply to any

court having jurisdiction to appoint a receiver or receivers of the Collateral at Construction Agent’s sole cost and expense, and Construction Agent hereby irrevocably consents to such appointment and waives notice of any application therefor. Any such receiver or receivers shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in like or similar cases and all the powers and duties of Lessor in case of entry as provided in this Agreement and shall continue as such and exercise all such powers until the latest to occur of (i) the date of confirmation of sale of the Collateral; (ii) the disbursement of all proceeds of the Collateral collected by such receiver and the payment of all expenses incurred in connection therewith; or (iii) the termination of such receivership with the consent of Lessor or pursuant to an order by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(f)

To the extent permitted by, and subject to the mandatory requirements of, any Governmental Authority, each and every right, power and remedy herein specifically given to Lessor or otherwise in this Agreement shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by Lessor, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy. Lessor’s consent to any request made by Construction Agent shall not be deemed to constitute or preclude the necessity for obtaining Lessor’s consent, in the future, to all similar requests. No express or implied waiver by Lessor of any Construction Agency Agreement Event of Default shall in any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any future or subsequent Construction Agency Agreement Event of Default. To the extent permitted by any Applicable Laws, Construction Agent hereby waives any rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise that may require Lessor to sell, lease or otherwise use the Leased Property, the other Collateral or any part or portion of the Leased Property or Collateral in mitigation of damages upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Construction Agency Agreement Event of Default or that may otherwise limit or modify any of Lessor’s rights or remedies under this Article V.

(g)

No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement or under the other Operative Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

(h)

In the event that the Participants and the Administrative Agent receive full and indefeasible payment of the Lease Balance and all other amounts due and owing to the Lessor, the Participants and the Administrative Agent under the Operative Documents (other than through the sale of the Leased Property to a third party, after foreclosure or as a result of an Insolvency Event) and provided Lessor has not entered into a binding agreement to sell the Leased Property, Lessor agrees, so long as no Insolvency Event has

occurred, to convey its interest in the Leased Property to Construction Agent in accordance with Article XXI of the Lease at Construction Agent’s sole cost and expense.

Section 5.4.     Intentionally omitted.

Section 5.5.    Lessor’s Right to Cure Construction Agent’s Defaults. (a) Lessor, without waiving or releasing any obligation or Construction Agency Agreement Event of Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) remedy any Construction Agency Agreement Event of Default for the account of and at the sole cost and expense of Construction Agent, and in furtherance of such right, Lessor may make Advance Requests, execute the Project Agreements and otherwise exercise all rights and perform all duties of Construction Agent hereunder and under the Transaction Agreement with respect to the Site Obligations. All reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses so incurred (including reasonable 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 Lessor, shall be paid by Construction Agent to Lessor on demand.

(b)

In the event of the occurrence of a Major Project Agreement Default under any Major Project Agreement, Construction Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to Lessor and Administrative Agent and, following delivery of written notice to Construction Agent, Lessor shall have the opportunity, but shall not be required, to cure such Major Project Agreement Default.

Section 5.6.     Determination of Whether Project Budget Is “In Balance. (a) If Administrative Agent determines that the Project Budget may not be In Balance, Administrative Agent may give written notice to such effect to Construction Agent, together with a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis for Administrative Agent’s determination and to the extent available calculations upon which Administrative Agent has based its determination (the “In Balance Calculation”). Within ten (10) Business Days following Construction Agent’s receipt of such written notice from Administrative Agent, Construction Agent shall deliver a certification to Administrative Agent that either (i) the Project Budget which is the subject of such notice is not In Balance and describing the steps Construction Agent is taking to remedy such condition, if any, or (ii) the Project Budget is In Balance and stating sufficient detail to describe why Construction Agent believes the Project Budget is In Balance.

(b)

If, following receipt of written notification from Administrative Agent, Construction Agent’s certification indicates that Construction Agent believes the Project Budget is In Balance and Administrative Agent disagrees with the certification or finds same to be incomplete or inaccurate in any material respect, or if Construction Agent fails to timely deliver such certification, Administrative Agent may give written notice of such effect to Construction Agent and pursue remedies as available hereunder.

(c)

Construction Agent may, at any time, deposit Escrowed Overages into the Escrow Account to cause the Project Budget to be In Balance.

Except as otherwise provided in the Project Budget, Construction Agent shall not be entitled to, and Lessor shall have no obligation to pay to Construction Agent, any agency fee or other fee or compensation, and Construction Agent shall not be entitled to, and Lessor shall have no obligation to make or pay to Construction Agent, any reimbursement therefor, it being understood that this Agreement is being entered into as consideration for and as an inducement to Lessor and Construction Agent entering into the Lease and the other Operative Documents.
