covenants to Landlord that throughout the Term of this Lease, Guarantors shall be bound by the terms of the Guaranty to Landlord and the Subsidiaries marked with an asterisk on Exhibit E attached hereto shall be bound by the terms of the Subsidiary Guaranty to Landlord.

Landlord and Tenant shall renegotiate the Fixed Rent payable hereunder, and in accordance with this paragraph 5(e).
          (i) On January 1, 2009 or on any one (1) year anniversary of such date, Landlord shall be entitled to provide tenant with written notice of Renegotiated Rent. The Renegotiated Rent as set forth in such notice shall be an amount equal to the fair rental value of the Premises as reasonably determined by Landlord based on (I) a review of recent sales and/or rentals of comparable properties (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may include properties purchased, sold or rented by Landlord or one or more of its affiliates) and/or (II) the methodology employed by Landlord in valuing RV parks and similar properties generally (it being understood that such methodology shall not be based, in whole or in part, upon the actual income or profits of Tenant, any sublessee or any affiliate thereof from the Premises). Such written notice shall be accompanied by all relevant data upon which the Renegotiated Rent is based. Within thirty (30) days following such delivery, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of a written resolution of its board of directors either accepting or protesting the Renegotiated Rent. In the event such notice indicates disagreement as to the Renegotiated Rent (a “Protest Notice”), such Protest Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of such disagreement. If the Tenant shall fail to deliver a written resolution of its board of directors either accepting or protesting the Renegotiated Rent within the prescribed period, then Landlord may give Tenant written notice of such failure, and if a written resolution is not delivered within five (5) days of such written notice, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the Renegotiated Rent determination delivered by Landlord and all Fixed Rent hereunder shall be equal to the Renegotiated Rent as determined by Landlord.
          (ii) If Tenant timely delivers a Protest Notice and Tenant and Landlord are unable to resolve any disagreement as to the Renegotiated Rent within fifteen (15) days following Landlord’s receipt of the Protest Notice, Landlord and Tenant agree to submit the matter to the following appraisal process. Within ten (10) days after the expiration of the fifteen (15) day period following Landlord’s receipt of the Protest Notice, the parties shall each appoint an appraiser to determine the Renegotiated Rent based on the fair rental value of the Premises determined on the basis described in clause (i) above. Each appraiser so selected shall be either an MAI appraiser or a licensed real estate broker, each having at least ten (10) years’ prior experience in the appraisal or leasing of comparable property and with a working knowledge of current rental rates and practices. If the two appraisers cannot agree upon the Renegotiated Rent for the Premises within twenty (20) days after their appointment, then, within ten (10) days after the expiration of such twenty (20)-day period, the two appraisers shall select a third appraiser meeting the above criteria. Once the third appraiser has been selected as provided for above, then such third appraiser shall within ten (10) days after appointment make its determination of the Renegotiated Rent. The average of the two closest determinations of the Renegotiated Rent shall be used as the Fixed Rent and shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant. Landlord and Tenant shall each bear the cost of its appraiser and shall share the cost of the third. If the Renegotiated Rent is not determined until after the beginning of the Lease Year to which it applies pursuant to this Lease, the Tenant shall, within five (5) days of the final determination of Renegotiated Rent, make payment to Landlord of any shortfall in the amount of Fixed Rent due under this Lease.

     (b) Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent, all Other Taxes prior to the assessment of any interest or penalty for late payment and shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and the Landlord Parties on an After-Tax Basis from and against any such Other Taxes (including any penalties and interest with respect thereto) (subject to Tenant’s rights under this paragraph 6(b) and paragraph 6(e) of this Lease to make payment in installments or to protest Other Taxes); provided, however, if Landlord or Mortgagee is holding Tenant’s estimated payments thereof pursuant to paragraph 6(f) of this Lease and provided no Event of Default then exists, Landlord, pursuant to paragraph 31(e)(iii), or Mortgagee shall instead make such payments timely on Tenant’s behalf; provided, further, if any such Other Taxes may legally be paid in installments, Tenant may, at its option, pay such Other Taxes in such installments together with any interest due thereon provided that Tenant shall have paid all such installments, or provided to Landlord or Mortgagee such amounts as are necessary for the payment of all such installments, prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. “Other Taxes” shall mean all taxes, assessments, excises, levies, fees and charges, including all payments related to the cost or occupation of providing facilities or services, whether or not now customary or within the contemplation of Landlord and Tenant, that are levied, assessed, charged, confirmed or imposed by any public or government authority upon, or measured by, or reasonably attributable to (i) the Premises and Underlying Premises, (ii) the cost or value of Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and other personal property located in the Premises or the cost or value of any leasehold improvements

made in or to the Premises by or for Tenant, regardless of whether title to such improvements is vested in Tenant or Landlord, (iii) any amount payable under this Lease, including any gross receipts tax or excise tax levied by any public or government authority with respect to the receipt of any such amount, (iv) the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises, or (v) this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises or Underlying Premises. “Other Taxes” shall not include any Property Taxes or any Excluded Taxes arising out of or levied in connection with this Lease, in each case, of Landlord, unless and only to the extent levied or assessed against Landlord in whole or in part in lieu of, as a substitute for, or as an addition to any Other Taxes.
     (c) Except for any Excluded Taxes imposed on or with respect to the Rent, if at any time during the Term any method of taxation shall be such that there shall be levied, assessed or imposed on Landlord, or on the Rent, or on the Premises, Underlying Premises, or any portion thereof, a capital levy, gross receipts tax on the Rent, occupational license tax or franchise tax, based upon gross receipts with respect to the Rent, but not including any income or franchise taxes based upon, measured by or calculated with respect to net income or profits, Tenant, to the extent permitted by law, covenants to pay and discharge the same, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the Fixed Rent to be paid hereunder shall be paid to Landlord absolutely net without deduction or charge of any nature whatsoever, foreseeable or unforeseeable, ordinary or extraordinary, or of any nature, kind or description, except for Excluded Taxes and as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent Landlord incurs any tax liability pursuant to the Trails Reorganization (as defined in the Merger Transaction) or for a Pre-Closing Taxable Period (as defined in the Merger Transaction), payment of such tax liabilities, if any, shall not be governed by this Lease but shall be governed by the Merger Transaction.
     (d) Tenant covenants to furnish Landlord, within fifteen (15) calendar days after written request by Landlord, official receipts of the appropriate taxing authority, if any, or other appropriate proof reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, evidencing the payment of all Impositions.
     (e) Tenant shall have the right to contest the amount or validity, in whole or in part, of any Property Tax or Other Tax or to seek a reduction in the valuation of the Premises and/or Underlying Premises, as assessed for real estate property tax purposes, by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted in good faith (but only after the deposit or payment (whether under protest or otherwise) of any amounts required by applicable law to stay or prevent collection activities). Landlord shall not be required to join in any proceeding referred to in this paragraph 6(e) except to the extent required by law, in which event Landlord shall, upon written request by Tenant, join in such proceedings or permit the same to be brought in its name, all at Tenant’s expense. Landlord agrees to provide, at Tenant’s expense, whatever assistance Tenant may reasonably require in connection with any such contest. Tenant covenants that Landlord shall not suffer or sustain any costs or expenses (including counsel fees) or any liability in connection with any such proceeding. No such consent shall subject Landlord to any civil liability or the risk of any criminal liability or forfeiture.
     (f) Intentionally Omitted..

EXECUTION COPY
     (g) Landlord will, within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt, reimburse Tenant for any refund of Property Taxes or Other Taxes received by Landlord or Mortgagee as a result of any tax contest relating to the Term.
     (h) In addition to the forgoing (and without duplication), if (x) Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord incurs any tax, assessment, excise, lien, fee, charge or liability, including franchise, lease and income taxes, arising from the Master Lease from MHC TT, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as landlord, to Landlord, as tenant (the “MHC TT Master Lease”) (including the items described in clause (i) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, but excluding property taxes attributable to the Excess Land, collectively, the “Master Lease Additional Obligations”) and (y) Landlord and its Affiliates would not have incurred the Master Lease Additional Obligations had Landlord owned the fee interest in the Fee Sites owned by MHC TT, Inc. and the MHC TT Master Lease not existed, then Tenant shall pay the Master Lease Additional Obligations on an After-Tax Basis, as Additional Rent, prior to the assessment of any interest or penalty for late payment and shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and the Landlord Parties on an After-Tax Basis from and against any claims for payment thereof.
7. NET LEASE; NON-TERMINABILITY
     (a) This is an absolutely net lease and the Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and all other sums payable hereunder by Tenant shall be paid without notice (except as expressly provided herein), demand, set-off, counterclaim, abatement, suspension, deduction or defense. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Fixed Rent shall be an absolutely net return to Landlord throughout the Term of this Lease. In order that such Rent shall be absolutely net to Landlord, Tenant shall pay when due, and save and hold harmless Landlord and the Landlord Parties on an After-Tax Basis from and against, any and all costs, charges and expenses attributable to the Premises or Underlying Premises, including all fines, fees, penalties, charges (including governmental charges), assessments, sewer rents, Impositions, insurance premiums as may be required from time to time by Landlord or Mortgagee pursuant to this Lease, utility expenses, carrying charges, costs, expenses and obligations of every kind and nature whatsoever, general and special, ordinary and extraordinary, foreseen and unforeseen, the payment for which Landlord or Tenant is, or shall become, liable by reason of any rights or interest of Landlord or Tenant in, to or under the Premises or Underlying Premises or this Lease or in any manner relating to the ownership, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, repair, rebuilding, use or occupation of the Premises or Underlying Premises, or of any portion thereof; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed as imposing upon Tenant any obligation to pay any Excluded Taxes of Landlord arising out of, or levied in connection with, this Lease or Landlord’s right or interest in the Premises or the Rent or require Tenant to make the Landlord Capital Improvements. All fees and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Lease, including all legal, accounting, financial advisory, title insurance, environmental inspection, consulting and all other fees and expenses of third parties incurred by a Person in connection with the negotiation of the terms and conditions of this Lease shall be the obligation of the respective Person incurring such fees and expenses; provided, however that Tenant, on the one hand, and Landlord, on the other hand, shall share equally the costs related to preparation of surveys of the Sites listed on Exhibit F attached hereto.
     (b) This Lease shall not terminate, nor shall Tenant have any right to terminate this Lease, except as expressly provided in paragraph 14 of this Lease, nor shall Tenant be entitled to

23


 

EXECUTION COPY
any abatement or reduction of Rent hereunder except as required by paragraph 14 of this Lease, nor shall the obligations of Tenant under this Lease be affected, by reason of (i) any damage to or destruction of all or any part of the Premises from whatever cause; (ii) subject to paragraph 14 of this Lease, the taking of the Premises, Underlying Premises, or any portion thereof by condemnation, requisition or eminent domain proceedings; (iii) the prohibition, limitation or restriction of Tenant’s use of all or any part of the Premises, or any interference with such use; (iv) any eviction by paramount title or otherwise; (v) Tenant’s acquisition or ownership of all or any part of the Premises or Underlying Premises otherwise than as expressly provided herein; (vi) any default on the part of Landlord under this Lease, or under any other agreement to which Landlord and Tenant may be parties; (vii) Landlord becoming dispossessed of any portion of the Premises subleased by Landlord pursuant to the Non-Fee Occupancy Agreements; or (viii) any other cause whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, any present or future law to the contrary notwithstanding. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the obligations of Tenant hereunder shall be separate and independent covenants and agreements, that the Fixed Rent, the Additional Rent and all other sums payable by Tenant hereunder shall continue to be payable in all events and that the obligations of Tenant hereunder shall continue unaffected unless the requirement to pay or perform the same shall have been terminated pursuant to any express provision of this Lease. Tenant agrees that Tenant shall not be relieved of the obligations to pay the Fixed Rent or any Additional Rent in case of damage to or destruction of or condemnation (except as expressly provided in paragraph 14 of this Lease) of the Premises or the Underlying Premises.
     (c) Tenant agrees that it shall remain obligated under this Lease in accordance with its terms, and that it shall not take any action to terminate, rescind or void this Lease, notwithstanding (i) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or winding-up or other proceeding affecting Landlord or its successor in interest, or (ii) any action with respect to this Lease which may be taken by any trustee or receiver of Landlord or its successor in interest or by any court in any such proceeding.
     (d) Tenant waives all rights which may now or hereafter be conferred by law (i) to quit, terminate or surrender this Lease or the Premises or any part thereof, or (ii) to any abatement, suspension, deferment or reduction of the Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or any other sums payable under this Lease, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.
8. SERVICES
     Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, be responsible for supplying the Premises with electricity, heating, ventilating and air conditioning, water, natural gas, lighting, replacement for all lights, restroom supplies, telephone service, window washing, security service, janitor, pest control and disposal services (including, if applicable, hazardous and biological waste disposal), and such other services as Tenant determines to furnish to the Premises. Landlord shall not be in default hereunder or be liable for any damage or loss directly or indirectly resulting from, nor shall the Fixed Rent, or Additional Rent be abated or a constructive or other eviction be deemed to have occurred by reason of, the installation, use or interruption of use of any equipment in connection with the furnishing of any of the foregoing services, any failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any such services, whether such failure or delay is caused by accident or any condition beyond the control of Landlord or Tenant or by the making of repairs or improvements to the Premises, or any limitation, curtailment, rationing or

24


 

EXECUTION COPY
restriction on use of water, electricity, gas or any form of energy serving the Premises, whether such results from mandatory governmental restriction or voluntary compliance with governmental guidelines. Tenant shall pay the full cost of all of the foregoing services and all other utilities and services supplied to the Premises as Additional Rent.
9. REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE; REPLACEMENT
     (a) Tenant shall, at its own sole cost and expense, keep the Premises, including each Site therein, in substantially the same order and condition as existed on the Commencement Date (provided that the order and condition existing on the Commencement Date shall be deemed to include all repairs to the Site commonly known as Oakzanita Springs in San Diego County, California (the “Oakzanita Site,” which Tenant shall use its best efforts to complete promptly), have been completed) (the “Premises Condition Standard”), at all times on and after the Commencement Date to and including the date of the termination of the Term, by lapse of time or otherwise. Tenant shall timely and properly maintain, repair and replace all of the Premises and all of its component parts (the “Tenant’s Maintenance, Repair and Replacement Items”), including parking surfaces and stripes, driveways, roads, private streets, picnic tables, campground sites and/or pads, pedestals, campground and recreational vehicle infrastructure, all landscaping, mechanical systems, electrical and lighting systems, plumbing and sewage systems, wastewater systems, water plants and related facilities, septic system facilities, fixtures and appurtenances, interior and exterior walls, roofs, foundations, floor slabs, columns and structural elements so as to maintain each Site in accordance with the Premises Condition Standard and to preserve and protect the useful life, utility and value of such components, and in all events so as to preserve the effectiveness of any warranty relating thereto. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a written statement showing all removals and replacements of such systems or components with a cost exceeding $100,000.00 during the preceding calendar year. Landlord may cause independent private inspectors to make inspections of any building and building systems on the Premises or segments thereof to determine Tenant’s compliance under this paragraph 9. Tenant shall pay all reasonable costs of each inspection at each Site by or on behalf of Landlord in each calendar year; and, if such inspection by Landlord reveals that the Premises, or any material portion thereof, including any equipment thereon, is not substantially in the condition required by this Lease, then Tenant shall pay for such additional inspections performed by Landlord through the inspection approving the condition of such Premises as being substantially in conformity with this Lease.
     (b) Landlord may, but is not required to, enter the Premises at any time during normal business hours and make such repairs, alterations, improvements, additions, replacements or maintenance as Landlord deems necessary to cure any Event of Default of Tenant hereunder which remains uncured after the expiration of any notice and cure period provided under this Lease, as applicable, in a diligent fashion, and Tenant shall pay Landlord as Additional Rent forthwith (and in any event within thirty (30) days) after being billed for same by Landlord the cost thereof plus an administrative fee of five percent (5%) of such cost, which bill shall be accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation. Such amounts shall bear interest at the Overdue Rate from the date of expenditure by Landlord to the date of repayment by Tenant.
     (c) It is intended by Tenant and Landlord that Landlord shall have no obligation, in any manner whatsoever, to repair or maintain the Premises (or any fixture or equipment therein), whether structural or nonstructural, all of which obligations are intended, as between Landlord

25


 

EXECUTION COPY
and Tenant, to be those of Tenant, except for Landlord’s obligations with respect to Landlord Capital Improvements. Tenant expressly waives the benefit of any statute now or in the future in effect which would otherwise afford Tenant the right to make repairs at Landlord’s expense or to terminate this Lease because of Landlord’s failure to keep the Premises in good order, condition and repair.
     (d) Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain on each Site, and deliver to Landlord upon expiration or termination of this Lease, then current operating manuals and original warranties (to the extent applicable) for the Equipment and Personal Property then located on such Site, specifically excluding, in all cases, Tenant’s Trade Fixtures at the Premises which may be and which are subsequently removed by Tenant upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
10. DESTRUCTION OF OR DAMAGE TO PREMISES
     If any Site is damaged by fire or other Casualty during the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall (a) repair such damage and restore such Site to substantially the same or better condition as existed before the occurrence of such fire or other Casualty, using materials of the same or better grade than that of the materials being replaced (herein, a “Casualty Repair”), and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. Such repair and replacement by Tenant shall be done in accordance with paragraph 23 of this Lease and the standards of paragraph 9 of this Lease and Tenant shall, at its expense, obtain all permits required for such work. An architect or engineer selected by Landlord shall review (except with respect to the existing damage at the Oakzanita Site), at Tenant’s expense, all plans and specifications for any Casualty Repair with a cost equal to or greater than $50,000 and all draw requests related thereto. In no event shall Fixed Rent or Additional Rent abate, nor shall this Lease terminate by reason of such damage or destruction. Provided that no Event of Default by Tenant shall then exist under this Lease (and no event has occurred which, with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default), and provided Tenant has: (i) delivered to Landlord plans and specifications and a budget for such Casualty Repair (all of which Landlord shall have approved), and (ii) deposited with Landlord or the Proceeds Trustee cash in the sum equal to the excess, if any, of the total cost set forth in such approved budget over the amount of insurance proceeds received on account of such Casualty, then to the extent such proceeds are made available to Landlord from Mortgagee, Landlord shall make available to Tenant all insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord on account of such Casualty, for application to the costs of such approved repair and restoration, as set forth below.
     For all Casualty Repairs, the following shall apply:
     As used herein the “Casualty Threshold” means $50,000; provided, however that the Casualty Threshold shall not apply to the existing damage at the Oakzanita Site. If the Net Casualty Proceeds are less than the Casualty Threshold at the time of the applicable fire or other Casualty, such Net Casualty Proceeds shall be paid to Tenant to apply to the cost of restoration. If the Net Casualty Proceeds are equal to or greater than the Casualty Threshold at the time of the applicable fire or other casualty, such Net Casualty Proceeds shall be paid to the Proceeds Trustee (herein called the “Restoration Fund”) for release to Tenant as restoration progresses, subject to and in accordance with paragraph 23(c) of this Lease. If Landlord encumbers the Premises or the Underlying Premises with a Mortgage, the Mortgagee thereunder may, at its

26


 

EXECUTION COPY
option, be appointed Proceeds Trustee for so long as such Mortgage remains outstanding and such Mortgagee does not Control Landlord and is not Controlled by or under Common Control with Landlord. Insurance proceeds shall be deposited in an interest bearing account and interest shall be distributed to Tenant upon completion of said installation, repair, replacement or rebuilding, provided no default has occurred and is continuing hereunder. All checks drawn on said account shall be signed by the Proceeds Trustee. Insurance proceeds shall be disbursed to Tenant by the Proceeds Trustee under the following procedure:
          (i) No more frequently than once per calendar month, Tenant may request that Landlord disburse to Tenant such insurance proceeds as are requested by Tenant to pay for all costs incurred by Tenant for repair and restoration work on the damaged Site that was performed during the immediately preceding calendar month. Tenant’s request shall certify that all work for which reimbursement is requested was performed in substantial compliance with the plans and specifications approved by Landlord pursuant to paragraph 23 of this Lease and all applicable laws, and shall include reasonably satisfactory evidence of the costs incurred by Tenant and unconditional partial (as to the amount received compared to percentage of completion) or final lien releases, as applicable, in form and substance required by applicable law executed by all mechanics, materialmen, laborers, suppliers and contractors who performed any portion of the repair and restoration work or supplied materials; and
          (ii) Within ten (10) Business Days after receiving Tenant’s request, Landlord shall approve or disapprove Tenant’s request, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, by written notice to Tenant. If Landlord approves all or any portion of a request and Landlord has received (and not previously disbursed) insurance proceeds for such costs, then Landlord’s approval shall include a check in the amount approved by Landlord. If Landlord disapproves all or any portion of a request, then Landlord’s notice shall state the reasons for that disapproval. Landlord’s failure to deliver a notice approving or disapproving a request shall be conclusively deemed Landlord’s disapproval of the request.
11. INSURANCE, HOLD HARMLESS AND INDEMNIFICATION
     (a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Landlord and the Landlord Parties shall not be liable to Tenant or any Affiliate for any damage to or loss or theft of any property or for any bodily or personal injury, illness or death of any Person in, on or about the Premises arising at any time and from any cause whatsoever, unless and to the extent due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Landlord Parties. Except as provided in this paragraph 11(a), Tenant waives all claims against Landlord and the Landlord Parties arising from any liability described in this paragraph 11(a).
     (b) Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify and defend Landlord and the Landlord Parties against and hold each such Person harmless on an After-Tax Basis from all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, arising from or related to any use or occupancy of the Premises, or any condition of the Premises, or any default in the performance of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, or any damage to any property (including property of employees and invitees of Tenant) or any bodily or personal injury, illness or death of any person (including employees and invitees of Tenant) occurring in, on or about the Premises or any part thereof or any part of the buildings or the land constituting a part of the Premises arising on or after the date hereof from any cause whatsoever, or occurring

EXECUTION COPY
outside the Premises when such damage, bodily or personal injury, illness or death is caused by any act or omission of Tenant or its agents, officers, employees, contractors, invitees or licensees or any default in the performance of Tenant’s obligations under the Frisco Lease. This paragraph 11(b) shall survive the termination of this Lease with respect to any damage, bodily or personal injury, illness or death or any default in the performance of Tenant’s obligations under the Frisco Lease occurring prior to such termination.
     (c) Tenant shall at all times provide, maintain and keep in force or cause to be provided, maintained and kept in force, at no expense to Landlord, the following policies of insurance with respect to the Premises, Underlying Premises and Tenant, as applicable (collectively, the “Policies”):
          (i) Property insurance on an “all risk” and “special perils” basis (special form cause of loss) for one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement value of each Site, as applicable, with customary deductibles as approved by Landlord. The policy shall contain the following endorsements: (a) Replacement Cost (without any deduction made for depreciation); (b) Agreed Amount (waiving co-insurance penalties); (c) a standard landlord clause acceptable to Landlord; and (d) a standard mortgagee clause acceptable to Mortgagee, if any. Each such policy shall also include the following coverage if applicable: (i) comprehensive boiler and machinery coverage in amounts as determined by Landlord; (ii) earthquake and earth movement for the full replacement cost of the subject Site, or the amount as would (in light of the risks insured and the cost of premiums for such insurance) in Landlord’s judgment be maintained by a prudent operator of property similar in use and locale; and (iii) flood insurance if the Improvements located on a Site are located in a special flood hazard area as designated by the Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, in sufficient amounts as reasonably determined by Landlord, provided that such coverage in such amounts is generally available at commercially reasonable costs.
          (ii) Insurance against rent loss, extra expense or business interruption, in amounts satisfactory to Landlord. The perils covered by this policy shall be the same as those accepted on each Site including flood, earthquake and earth movement.
          (iii) Commercial general liability insurance covering bodily injury and property damage occurring on, in or about each Site and, to the extent applicable, any adjoining streets, sidewalks, and passageways arising out of or connected with the possession, use, leasing, operation, or condition of any Site. Policy limits shall be not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 per location in the aggregate with respect to a Site and $1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 per location in the aggregate with respect to Tenant. Such coverage shall include but not be limited to premises, operations, products/completed operations, personal injury and liquor liability (if applicable).
          (iv) Umbrella excess liability insurance for not less than $25,000,000 per occurrence with respect to Tenant, subject to an aggregate cap of not less than $25,000,000.
          (v) Worker’s Compensation and other statutory coverage as required by the state where each Site is located to protect Tenant, Landlord and any Mortgagee against claims for injuries sustained in the course of employment at such Site.

EXECUTION COPY
          (vi) When and to the extent required by Landlord, fidelity insurance and insurance against loss or damage by any other risk commonly insured against by Persons (or which would be insured against by a reasonably prudent Person) occupying or using like properties in the locality or localities in which a Site is situated.
     (d) All insurance policies required pursuant to this Lease shall be endorsed to provide that: (i) Landlord is named as an additional insured with respect to the all risk property coverage; as a loss payee with respect to all rent/business interruption/extra expense coverage; as additional insured on all liability coverage, with the understanding that any obligation imposed upon the insureds (including the liability to pay premiums) shall be the sole obligation of Tenant and not of any other insured; (ii) Mortgagee, its successors and/or assigns, is named as mortgagee with respect to the all risk property coverage; as a loss payee with respect to all rent/business interruption/extra expense coverage; and as additional named insured on all liability coverage, with the understanding that any obligation imposed upon the insureds (including the liability to pay premiums) shall be the sole obligation of Tenant and not of any other insured; (iii) the interests of Landlord or any Mortgagee shall not be invalidated by any action or inaction of Tenant or any other Person, and such policies shall insure Landlord and any Mortgagee regardless of any breach or violation by Tenant or any other Person of any warranties, declarations or conditions in such policies; (iv) the insurer under each such policy shall waive all rights of subrogation against Landlord or any Mortgagee, any right to set-off and counterclaim and any other right to deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise; (v) such insurance shall be primary and without right of contribution of any other insurance carried by or on behalf of Landlord or any Mortgagee with respect to its interest in the Premises or Underlying Premises; (vi) if such insurance is canceled for any reason whatsoever, including nonpayment of premium or, if any substantial modification, change or reduction is made in the coverage which affects the interests of Landlord or any Mortgagee, such cancellation, modification, change or reduction in coverage shall not be effective as to Landlord or Mortgagee until thirty (30) days after receipt by Landlord and Mortgagee of written notice sent by registered mail from such insurer; (vii) any such insurance shall be endorsed to provide inasmuch as the policy is written to cover more than one insured, all terms, conditions, insuring agreements and endorsements with the exception of limits of liability, shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each insured; and (viii) if required by Landlord or Mortgagee and available on commercially reasonable terms, such insurance shall contain “cut-through” endorsements providing Landlord and Mortgagee with direct access to any re-insurers.
     (e) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord and Mortgagee a copy of each insurance policy with further evidence of such insurance acceptable to Landlord and Mortgagee, together with a copy of the declaration page for each such policy. If requested by Landlord or Mortgagee, binders for renewal policies shall be provided no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of each policy and, when available and requested by Landlord or Mortgagee, copies of such policies. Tenant shall deliver a renewed policy or policies, or duplicate original or originals thereof, marked “premium paid,” or accompanied by such other evidence of payment satisfactory to Landlord and Mortgagee with standard non-contributory mortgagee clause in favor of and acceptable to Landlord and Mortgagee. Upon request of Landlord or Mortgagee, Tenant shall cause its insurance underwriter or broker to certify to Landlord or Mortgagee in writing that all the requirements of this Lease applicable to Tenant governing insurance have been satisfied. Tenant shall comply promptly with and conform, in all material respects, to (i) all provisions of each such insurance policy and (ii) all requirements of the insurers applicable to Tenant as

29


 

EXECUTION COPY
respects use, occupancy, possession, operation, maintenance, alteration or repair of a Site. Tenant shall not use or permit the use of any Site in any manner that would permit any insurer to cancel any insurance policy or void coverage required to be maintained by this Lease. No insurance policy may provide for assessments to be made against Landlord or Mortgagee. If a policy permits assessments against others, such policy must waive any right to a Lien upon a Site and no such assessments may result in a Lien against such Site. The insurance coverage required under this paragraph 11 may be effected under a blanket policy or policies covering the Underlying Premises and other properties and assets not constituting a part of the Underlying Premises; provided that any such blanket policy shall specify the portion of the total coverage of such policy that is allocated to the Underlying Premises, and any sublimits in such blanket policy applicable to the Underlying Premises, which amounts shall not be less than the amounts required pursuant to this paragraph 11 and which shall in any case comply in all other respects with all of the requirements of this paragraph 11. Tenant shall comply in all material respects with all insurance requirements and shall not bring or keep or permit to be brought or kept any article upon any Site or cause or permit any condition to exist thereon (subject to and to the extent within Tenant’s control, exercising commercially reasonable measures consistent with prudent business practice to ensure compliance herewith by members of the public, including Members, having access to the Premises) which would be prohibited by any insurance requirement, or would invalidate insurance coverage required hereunder to be maintained by Tenant on or with respect to any part of any Site pursuant to this paragraph 11. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is expressly understood and agreed that any insurance which Tenant shall cause any tenant to provide that shall otherwise be in compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this paragraph 11 shall satisfy Tenant’s obligations with respect thereto hereunder. Tenant shall not take out separate insurance contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained pursuant to this paragraph 11 unless such insurance complies with this paragraph 11. All insurance policies shall be in form, with endorsements, risk coverages, deductibles and amounts and maintained with companies approved by Landlord and Mortgagee, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Without limiting Landlord’s and Mortgagee’s ability to approve the aforementioned, an insurance company shall be reasonably satisfactory if such insurance company (a) has a rating of at least A with financial size of Class X or better as specified in Best’s Key Rating Guide, (b) is licensed or authorized to do business, as required under applicable law, in the State where the applicable Sites are located and (c) a claims-paying ability rating by S&P of not less than “AA” and an equivalent rating by another Rating Agency. Tenant shall not settle or accept any payment of any claims under any insurance policy insuring against casualty, rent loss and business interruption without twenty (20) days’ advance written notice to Landlord and Mortgagee, if any. Landlord and Mortgagee shall not, by the fact of approving, disapproving, accepting, preventing, obtaining or failing to obtain any insurance, incur any liability for or with respect to the amount of insurance carried, the form or legal sufficiency of insurance contracts, solvency of insurance companies, or payment or defense of lawsuits, and Tenant hereby expressly assumes full responsibility therefor and all liability, if any, with respect thereto. If Tenant fails to provide to Landlord or Mortgagee the policies of insurance required by this paragraph 11, Landlord or Mortgagee may (but shall have no obligation to), upon written notice to Tenant, procure such insurance or single-interest insurance for such risks covering Landlord’s and Mortgagee’s interest and Tenant shall pay all premiums thereon promptly upon demand by Landlord and Mortgagee, and until such payment is made by Tenant, the amount of all such premiums shall bear interest at the Overdue Rate and shall constitute Additional Rent. Any such insurance purchased by Landlord or Mortgagee may, but need not, protect Tenant’s interests. The coverage purchased by Landlord or Mortgagee may

30


 

EXECUTION COPY
not pay any claim made by Tenant or any claim that is made against Tenant in connection with the Premises or Underlying Premises. Tenant may later cancel any insurance purchased by Landlord or Mortgagee, but only after providing Landlord and Mortgagee with evidence that Tenant has obtained insurance as required by this Lease. If Tenant fails to obtain any such insurance and Landlord or Mortgagee purchase such insurance for the Premises and/or Underlying Premises, Tenant will be responsible for the costs of that insurance, including interest and other charges imposed by Landlord or Mortgagee in connection with the placement of the insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance. The costs of the insurance may be added as Additional Rent. The costs of the insurance may be more than the cost of insurance Tenant is able to obtain on its own.
     (f) Landlord acknowledges that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant’s existing insurance and insurance carriers as of the Commencement Date meet the requirements set forth in this paragraph 11; provided each Subleasing Subsidiary is and shall remain a named insured on all insurance policies. In no event shall Landlord or any Mortgagee require any additional insurance pursuant to this paragraph 11 that is not commercially reasonable with respect to similarly situated properties.
12. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, COVENANTS AND NON-FEE OCCUPANCY AGREEMENTS
     (a) Tenant shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, throughout the Term promptly comply or cause compliance with or remove or cure any violation of any and all present and future laws, including the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as the same may be amended from time to time (“ADA”), ordinances (zoning or otherwise), orders, rules, regulations and requirements of all federal, state, municipal and other governmental bodies having jurisdiction over the Premises and the Membership Contracts and the appropriate departments, commissions, boards and officers thereof, and the orders, rules and regulations of each Board of Fire Underwriters where the Premises are situated, or any other body now or hereafter constituted exercising lawful or valid authority over the Premises and the Membership Contracts (collectively, “Legal Requirements”), any portion thereof, or the sidewalks, curbs, roadways, alleys or entrances adjacent or appurtenant to the Premises, or exercising lawful authority with respect to (1) the use or manner of use of the Premises, or such adjacent or appurtenant facilities, and (2) the sale of and continuing obligations under the Membership Contracts, and whether the compliance, curing or removal of any such violation and the costs and expenses necessitated thereby shall have been foreseen or unforeseen, ordinary or extraordinary, and whether or not the same shall be presently within the contemplation of Landlord, Tenant or any Tenant Subsidiary or shall involve any change in governmental policy, or require structural or extraordinary repairs, alterations or additions by Tenant or any Tenant Subsidiary and irrespective of the amount of the costs thereof. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall comply and shall cause its Subsidiaries to comply with all agreements, contracts, easements, restrictions, reservations or covenants, including the Membership Contracts, if any, running with the land or hereafter created by Tenant or any Tenant Subsidiary or consented to by Tenant or any Tenant Subsidiary or requested by Tenant or any Tenant Subsidiary.

authorities in connection with the Premises (including licenses and permits relating to all waste water, storm water, water processing and other similar facilities, franchise agreements, Membership Contracts and any conditional use permits (collectively, “Licenses”)); provided, however, Landlord agrees, upon request of Tenant, to sign promptly and without a charge therefor (except as provided in the final sentence of this subparagraph) any applications or filings (1) for such licenses and permits as may be required by Legal Requirements for the conduct, operation or restoration of the Premises and the business to be conducted therein in accordance with the terms hereof, and (2) for the maintenance of the existing zoning for each Site to continue to permit Tenant’s use thereof, in both cases where the signature of Landlord is required by Legal Requirements in force at the time. All reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in connection with obtaining any such licenses and permits and zoning matters shall be borne by Tenant. With respect to the Site commonly known as Pio Pico, Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the use permit benefiting the north side of the Site to be renewed or reissued.
     (b) If Tenant shall at any time fail to pay any Imposition in accordance with the provisions of paragraphs 6 or 26 of this Lease, or to take out, pay for, maintain and deliver any of the insurance policies or certificates of insurance provided for in paragraph 11 of this Lease, or shall fail to make any other payment or perform any other act on its part to be made or performed hereunder, then Landlord, after five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to Tenant (or without notice in situations where Landlord determines that delay is likely to cause harm to Landlord’s interest in the Premises), and without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligation of Tenant contained in this Lease, may (but shall be under no obligation to do so):
          (i) pay any Imposition payable by Tenant pursuant to this Lease; or
          (ii) make any other payment or perform any other act on Tenant’s part to be paid or performed hereunder which Tenant shall not have paid or performed within the time required therefor, except that any time permitted to Tenant to perform any act required by this paragraph shall be extended for such reasonable period not to exceed three hundred sixty-five (365) days as may be necessary to effectuate such performance, provided throughout such time Tenant is continuously, diligently and in good faith prosecuting such performance.
     (c) Tenant acknowledges that (1) Landlord’s interest in the Non-Fee Sites is that of the subtenant under the Non-Fee Occupancy Agreements, true, correct and complete copies of which have been delivered to Tenant, (2) Landlord’s interest in all of the Sites is that of the tenant under the Master Lease, a true, correct and complete copy of which has been delivered to Tenant and (3) pursuant to this Lease, Tenant is effectively subleasing Landlord’s interest as the subtenant under the Non-Fee Occupancy Agreements and the tenant under the Master Lease. Tenant hereby covenants and agrees to perform and comply in all material respects with all of the obligations of the tenant under the Non-Fee Occupancy Agreements during the Term of this Lease.
     (d) Landlord hereby grants to Tenant an exclusive license and authority solely to enforce Landlord’s rights as the tenant or subtenant of the Premises, as applicable, under the terms and conditions of the Non-Fee Occupancy Agreements and the Licenses. Tenant shall comply with Landlord’s obligations as tenant, subtenant or licensee of the Premises, as applicable, under the Non-Fee Occupancy Agreements and the Licenses; provided, however,

32


 

EXECUTION COPY
Landlord agrees, upon request of Tenant, to sign promptly and without a charge therefor (except as provided in the final sentence of this subparagraph) any documents, applications or filings for the Non-Fee Occupancy Agreements and/or Licenses as may be required from time to time for the conduct, operation or restoration of the Premises and the business to be conducted therein in accordance with the terms hereof. All reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in connection with obtaining any such documents, licenses and permits shall be borne by Tenant.
     (e) Landlord may enter upon the Premises for any such cure purpose set forth in this paragraph 12 and take all such action in or on the Premises as may be necessary therefor pursuant to this paragraph 12. All sums, reasonable under the circumstances, actually paid by Landlord and all costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred by Landlord in connection with the performance of any such act, together with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate and an amount equal to five percent (5%) of all such costs and expenses, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand and submission of reasonable evidence of such expenditures. Landlord shall not be limited in the proof of any damages which Landlord may claim against Tenant arising out of or by reason of Tenant’s failure to provide and keep in force insurance as aforesaid, to the amount of the insurance premium or premiums not paid or incurred by Tenant, and which would have been payable upon such insurance, but Landlord shall also be entitled to recover, as damages for any such breach, the uninsured amount of any loss, damages, costs and expenses of suit, including attorney’s fees, suffered or incurred by reason of damage to or destruction of the Premises or Underlying Premises, or any portion thereof or other damage or loss which Tenant is required to insure against hereunder, occurring during any period when Tenant shall have failed or neglected to provide insurance as aforesaid.
     (f) Tenant shall have the right under this Lease to abandon any Site or Sites subject to this Lease, provided such abandonment does not violate any Membership Contracts or applicable Legal Requirements, and so long as during such period of abandonment, (i) Tenant continues to pay Rent and maintain the Premises at such Sites in accordance with this Lease, (ii) Tenant maintains a security system and performs regular inspections of such Sites and (iii) Tenant provides Landlord with the right to inspect such Sites on an annual basis and Tenant pays for the costs of such inspections.
     (g) Tenant hereby covenants and agrees to perform and comply in all material respects with all of the obligations of the tenant under any equipment lease or other agreement affecting the Personal Property during the Term of this Lease. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant an exclusive license and authority solely to enforce Landlord’s rights as the obligor or obligee, as applicable, under the terms and conditions of any equipment lease or other agreement affecting the Personal Property. Tenant shall comply with Landlord’s obligations as obligor or obligee, as applicable, under any such agreement affecting the Personal Property; provided, however, Landlord agrees, upon request of Tenant, to sign promptly and without a charge therefor (except as provided in the final sentence of this paragraph 12(g)) any documents, applications or filings required for the conduct, operation or restoration of the Personal Property and the business to be conducted therein in accordance with the terms hereof. All reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in connection with obtaining any such documents, licenses and permits shall be borne by Tenant.

13. PARTIAL TAKING
     If less than substantially all of any Site shall be taken for public or quasi-public purposes, Tenant shall promptly, at its sole cost and expense, restore, repair, replace or rebuild the improvements so taken in conformity with the requirements of paragraph 9 of this Lease as nearly as practicable to the condition, size, quality of workmanship and market value thereof immediately prior to such taking, without regard to the adequacy of any condemnation award for such purpose. There shall be no abatement of Rent during any such period of restoration. In performing its obligations, Tenant shall be entitled to all condemnation proceeds made available to Landlord for restoration or repair of the Premises under the same terms and conditions for disbursement set forth for casualty proceeds in paragraph 10 of this Lease, including such proceeds being made available by Mortgagee. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, negotiate and, if necessary, litigate, the amount of the award, and Landlord shall have the right to participate in such process, and if Tenant fails to diligently prosecute such efforts, Landlord may (at its option) take control of the process. Any condemnation proceeds in excess of the amounts as are made available to Tenant for restoration or repair of the Premises shall be the sole and exclusive property of Landlord. Tenant shall have the right to participate in condemnation proceedings with Landlord, and shall be entitled to receive any award made by the condemning authority in respect of business loss or, if available, business relocation and any other claim permitted by law which does not, in any such case, diminish Landlord’s recovery.
14. SUBSTANTIAL TAKING
     If an entire Site or a substantial part of a Site, or access thereto, shall be taken or condemned by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or, as a result of such taking, the use of such Site shall be materially adversely affected, the Term of this Lease (with respect to such affected Site only) shall end upon and not before the date when the possession of the part so taken shall be required for such use and, except as otherwise provided herein, without any modification or adjustment of Rent in connection therewith. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award or payment in connection therewith, except that Tenant shall have the right to file any claim available to Tenant under applicable Law for any taking of leasehold improvements paid for by Tenant and any Tenant’s personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and removable by Tenant upon expiration of the Term and for moving expenses, provided that such separate award shall not reduce the award or judgment recoverable by Landlord; provided, further, that Landlord shall be permitted, at its sole discretion, to apportion a portion of any award received to Tenant as consideration for losses suffered by Tenant as a result of a taking.
     In the event that an entire Site is taken, Landlord shall have the option, at its sole discretion, of designating a replacement Site which shall replace the taken Site, in every instance, in this Lease. In the event that Landlord designates a replacement Site subsequent to a taking of an entire Site, the value of such replacement Site shall be taken into consideration in determining the portion of any award apportioned to Tenant by Landlord in consequence of such taking (as provided for herein).
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant is required by applicable law to provide a replacement Site for Members, Landlord shall use proceeds from the taking to purchase a replacement Site that satisfies the applicable Legal Requirements.

EXECUTION COPY
     If the temporary use or occupancy of all or any part of any Site shall be taken by condemnation during the Term, this Lease shall be and remain unaffected by such condemnation, and Tenant shall continue to pay in full the Rent payable hereunder. In the event of any such temporary taking for use or occupancy of all or any part of such Site, Tenant shall be entitled to appear, claim, prove and receive the portion of the award for such taking that represents compensation for use or occupancy of such Site during the period of such temporary taking and Landlord shall be entitled to appear, claim, prove and receive the portion of the award that represents the costs of restoration of such Site and the use or occupancy of such Site after the end of the period of such temporary taking.
15. DEFAULT; EVENTS OF DEFAULT

16. REMEDIES
     (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord shall, in addition to, and not in derogation of, any remedies for any preceding breach, with or without notice or demand (except as otherwise expressly provided herein) and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any right or remedy which Landlord may have by reason of such Event of Default under this Lease, have the right to cause all of the assets directly or indirectly owned by Tenant and the equity interests in Tenant to be transferred and assigned to Landlord through appropriate judicial remedies, including pursuant to the following available remedies:
          (i) Landlord shall have the right to terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises and repossess the Premises by any lawful means without terminating this Lease.
          (ii) Landlord shall have the right at any time to give a written termination notice to Tenant and, on the date specified in such notice, Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises shall terminate and this Lease shall terminate. Upon such termination, Landlord shall have the right to recover from Tenant:
     (A) The worth at the time of determination of all unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of termination;
     (B) The worth at the time of determination of the amount of all unpaid Rent for the balance of the then-Term of this Lease after the time of termination excluding the potential Lease term under any unexercised options for any Extension Terms, reduced only to the extent of net rental proceeds actually received from any subsequent replacement tenant(s) for any Site; provided, however, except to the extent the state statutes or common law applicable to any Site requires Landlord to mitigate its damages arising from an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease, from and after any such Event of Default, Landlord shall have no duty to mitigate its damages by re-letting, or attempting to re-let, any Site to any replacement tenant(s); and
     (C) All other amounts necessary to compensate Landlord for all of the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of events would be likely to result therefrom. The “worth at the time of determination” of the amounts referred to in clause (A) above shall be computed by allowing interest at the Per Diem Late Charge. The “worth at the time of determination” of the amount referred to in clause (B) above shall be computed by discounting such amount to present value by using the discount rate equal to the then Treasury Rate. For the purpose of determining unpaid Rent under clauses (A) and (B) above, the Rent reserved in this Lease shall be deemed to be the total Rent payable by Tenant under paragraph 5 of this Lease.
          (iii) Even if Landlord terminates Tenant’s right to possession under this Lease, this Lease shall continue in effect and Landlord shall have the right to enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all Rent as it becomes due under this

Lease. Landlord shall be entitled to an administrative fee of five percent (5%) of all amounts expended under this paragraph 16(a).
          (iv) All amounts owed by Tenant to Landlord following an Event of Default can be used by Landlord in pursuing its claims against Guarantors under the Guaranty and enforcement of all obligations, rights and remedies under (1) the Guaranty, (2) the Guarantor Pledges, (3) the Subsidiary Guaranties, (4) the Subsidiary Pledges, and (5) the Tenant Pledge, including realizing on all collateral set forth in any such documents in accordance with the terms of such documents.
          (v) If Landlord commences any remedy under this paragraph 16(a), Landlord shall continually prosecute such remedy to the fullest extent permitted under this Lease, the Guaranty, the Guarantor Pledges, the Subsidiary Guaranties, the Subsidiary Pledges, the Tenant Pledge and all applicable laws, such that Landlord or Landlord’s affiliate shall become the sole owner of the assets of Tenant.
     (b) In addition, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, (1) Landlord shall be entitled to receive and Tenant shall pay the Per Diem Late Charge for each day such Event of Default remains outstanding, payable promptly, and in any event within three (3) Business Days following Landlord’s written demand to Tenant for payment thereof, and (2) Landlord shall have all other rights set forth in paragraph 31(g) of this Lease.
     (c) All agreements and covenants to be performed or observed by Tenant under this Lease shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and without any abatement of Fixed Rent or Additional Rent. If Tenant fails to pay any sum of money to be paid by Tenant or to perform any other act to be performed by Tenant under this Lease as and when due or required to be performed, Landlord shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, and without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligations of Tenant, to, upon five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to Tenant, make any such payment or perform any such other act on behalf of Tenant in accordance with this Lease. All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs shall be deemed Additional Rent hereunder and shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord on demand, together with interest on all such sums from the date of expenditure by Landlord to the date of repayment by Tenant at the Overdue Rate. Landlord shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies of Landlord, the same rights and remedies in the event of the nonpayment of such sums (plus interest at the Overdue Rate) by Tenant as in the case of default by Tenant in the payment of Rent.
     (d) Landlord shall be entitled to collect from Tenant Landlord’s reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, in connection with the enforcement of its remedies and/or the defense of any matter, including during an appeal and whether suit is actually filed or not.
     (e) Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Landlord shall have the right to commence an action in any court of competent jurisdiction located in the State of Illinois for the purpose of adjudicating the Event of Default and any or all of Landlord’s rights and remedies under this Lease related to each. Tenant hereby consents to the exercise of personal jurisdiction over Tenant in any such court in Illinois and consents to Illinois as the choice of venue. Upon adjudication of Landlord’s rights under this Lease,

38


 

EXECUTION COPY
Landlord, at its option, shall have the right to file additional actions in any and all States or Canadian Provinces in which the Sites are located for the purpose of enforcing Landlord’s rights under this Lease, including obtaining orders of possession for the Site or Sites located in such States or Canadian Provinces.
17. SUBORDINATION
     (a) Subordination, Non-Disturbance. Tenant agrees at any time hereafter, and from time to time within ten (10) Business Days of written request of Landlord, to execute and deliver to Landlord a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (such instrument, release, document or agreement is herein called the “Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement”), subjecting and subordinating this Lease to the lien of any Mortgage which at any time may be placed upon the Premises or Underlying Premises, or any portion thereof, by Landlord, and to any replacements, renewals, amendments, consolidations, modifications, extensions or refinancings thereof. It is agreed, nevertheless, that so long as there exists no Event of Default under paragraphs 15(f) or 15(g) of this Lease, such Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement shall not interfere with, hinder or reduce the right of Tenant to continue to occupy the Premises, and all portions thereof, and to conduct its business thereon in accordance with the covenants, conditions, provisions, terms and agreements of this Lease. The costs of preparing and recording any such document shall be borne by Landlord, but Tenant shall be responsible for its own counsel fees.
     (b) Mortgagee Protection Clause. In the event of any act or omission of Landlord constituting a default by Landlord hereunder, Tenant shall not exercise any remedy until Tenant has given Landlord and any Mortgagee of the Premises or Underlying Premises written notice of such act or omission, and until a reasonable period of time (not less than ten (10) Business Days) to allow Landlord or Mortgagee to remedy such act or omission shall have elapsed following receipt of such notice. However, if such act or omission cannot, with due diligence and in good faith, be remedied within such period or cannot be cured simply by the payment of money, Landlord and Mortgagee shall be allowed such further period of time as may be reasonably necessary provided that either such party commences remedying the same with due diligence and in good faith and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure, provided such cure period shall not extend beyond two hundred seventy (270) calendar days after the receipt of notice of such default. Nothing herein contained shall be construed or interpreted as requiring any Mortgagee receiving such notice to remedy such act or omission.
     (c) Attornment. If any Mortgagee shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under this Lease or to ownership of the Premises or Underlying Premises, whether through possession or foreclosure or the delivery of a deed to the Premises or Underlying Premises in lieu of foreclosure, then such Mortgagee shall automatically be deemed to have recognized this Lease and to assume the obligations of Landlord hereunder accruing on and after the date such Mortgagee acquires title to the Premises or Underlying Premises, and Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such Mortgagee as Tenant’s landlord under this Lease and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument consistent with the Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement that such Mortgagee may reasonably request to evidence such attornment (whether before or after the making of the Mortgage). In the event of any other transfer of Landlord’s interest hereunder, such transferee shall automatically be deemed to have recognized this Lease

39


 

EXECUTION COPY
and to assume the obligations of Landlord hereunder accruing on and after the date of such transfer, and Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such transferee as Tenant’s landlord under this Lease and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument consistent with the Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement that such transferee and Landlord may reasonably request to evidence such attornment.
     (d) Acknowledgement. Upon ten (10) calendar days’ advance written notice, Tenant agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver a document acknowledging the assignment by Landlord of this Lease to a Mortgagee, in a commercially reasonable form then approved by institutional lenders, with such changes therein as may be reasonably requested by the Mortgagee.
18. LANDLORD’S RIGHT OF ENTRY; INDEMNIFICATION
     (a) Landlord, Mortgagee, and their respective designees shall have the right to enter the Premises, and any part thereof, at any time during normal business hours and to inspect the same, post notices of non-responsibility, monitor construction, perform appraisals, perform environmental site assessments and engineering studies, and, during the last twenty-four (24) months of the Term or at any time after an Event of Default, exhibit the Premises or any Site to prospective purchasers and mortgagees, and examine Tenant’s books and records pertaining to the Premises, insurance policies, certificates of occupancy and other documents, records and permits in Tenant’s possession with respect to the Premises, all of which shall be customary and adequate and reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.
     (b) Landlord hereby indemnifies and agrees to defend and hold harmless Tenant and its partners or members, partners or members of such partners and members, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, personal or legal representatives, successors and assigns from and against any and all claims, expenses, costs, damages, losses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), on an After-Tax Basis, with respect to physical damage or personal injury to the extent resulting from Landlord’s or its agents’ or representatives’ action on the Premises, which may at any time be asserted against or suffered by Tenant as a result of, on account of, or arising from Landlord or its agents or representatives entering the Premises pursuant to the terms of this Lease.
19. LEASEHOLD MORTGAGES.
     Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s consent, which Landlord may grant or withhold in its sole and absolute discretion, mortgage Tenant’s interest under this Lease by any means whatsoever.
20. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE; FINANCIAL DATA
     (a) At any time and from time to time, Tenant shall, within ten (10) Business Days after written request by Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a certificate certifying: (a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect as modified, and stating the date and nature of each modification); (b) the Commencement Date and the Lease Expiration Date determined in accordance with paragraph 4 of this Lease and the Basic Lease Information, and the date, if any, to which all Rent and other sums payable hereunder have been paid; (c) the

Under no circumstances shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any damage, loss, cost or expenses incurred by Tenant on account of any plans and specifications, contractors or subcontractors, design of any work, construction of any work, or delay in completion of any work.
          (v) Tenant shall give at least ten (10) calendar days’ prior written notice to Landlord of the date on which construction of any work to be done by outside contractors which requires Landlord’s consent will commence. Landlord shall have the right to post and keep posted on any Site any notices that may be provided by law or which Landlord may deem to be proper for the protection of Landlord and such Site, or any portion thereof, from Liens, and to take any other action Landlord deems necessary to remove or discharge Liens, at the expense of Tenant.
          (vi) All alterations, additions, improvements and fixtures, whether temporary or permanent in character, made in or to any Site by Tenant, shall become part of such Site and Landlord’s property, except those which are readily removable without causing material damage to such Site (which shall be and remain the property of Tenant). Upon termination or expiration of this Lease, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, remove all movable furniture, equipment, trade fixtures, office machines and other personal property (including Tenant’s Trade Fixtures) from each Site (but not the Improvements, Personal Property or Equipment) and repair all damage caused by such removal.

Except as otherwise expressly permitted in paragraph 25 of this Lease, this Lease shall not, nor shall any interest herein, be assignable as to the interest of Tenant involuntarily or by operation of law without the prior written consent of Landlord and Mortgagee. Under no circumstances shall Tenant be permitted to sublease the Premises or any part thereof, except as expressly permitted in paragraph 25(g) of this Lease.
     For purposes of this paragraph 25(a), the occurrence of a Corporate Control Event, or the public announcement thereof, shall be deemed to be an assignment of this Lease which is prohibited by the preceding paragraph unless Tenant obtains Landlord’s and Mortgagee’s prior written consent as set forth above (which consent may be denied by Landlord in Landlord’s sole discretion).
     Any of the foregoing prohibited acts (including, any purported assignment, sublease or Corporate Control Event) without the prior written consent of Landlord and Mortgagee, as required in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be void ab initio and shall, at the option of Landlord or Mortgagee, constitute an immediate Event of Default under paragraph 15(d).
     (b) The acceptance of Rent by Landlord from any other Person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease. Consent to one Corporate Control Event shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent Corporate Control Event.

EXECUTION COPY
     (c) (i) Tenant shall have no right to mortgage, grant a lien upon, encumber or otherwise finance its interest under this Lease or record a lien upon its interest in the Premises under this Lease; (ii) Tenant shall not permit, cause or suffer to be recorded in the real estate records of any county in which the Premises are located any mortgage, deed to secure debt, deed of trust, assignment, UCC financing statement or any other document granting, perfecting or recording a lien upon Tenant’s interest in this Lease or interest in the Premises under this Lease; (iii) Tenant shall not give any notice, or permit or cause any other party to give any notice, to Landlord of any existing lien on or security interest in Tenant’s interest in this Lease or interest in the Premises under this Lease; and (iv) Tenant shall not request that Landlord execute (nor shall Landlord have any obligation to execute) any non-disturbance, attornment or any other agreement in favor of any party transacting any business or transaction with or related to Tenant, other than non-disturbance agreements with Members, as required by law.
     (d) Tenant shall pay all of Landlord’s and Mortgagee’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with any Corporate Control Event and in connection with any request made by Tenant pursuant to this paragraph 25.
     (e) Tenant agrees to give notice to Mortgagee of any request for consent to any Corporate Control Event simultaneously with delivery of notice thereof to Landlord.
     (f) Execution of Membership Contracts by any Subleasing Subsidiary shall not be deemed to constitute an assignment or sublease, as contemplated by this paragraph 25.
     (g) Landlord hereby consents to the Tenant Subleases. Tenant shall cause each Subleasing Subsidiary to perform all of the covenants to be performed by Tenant under this Lease (in the case of a partial sublease, only insofar as such covenants relate to the portion of the Premises subject to such partial sublease) as and when performance is due after the effective date of the sublease and Landlord will have the right, but shall not be obligated, to enforce such covenants directly against such subtenant and failure of any such subtenant to perform such covenants shall be deemed a failure of Tenant to perform such covenants. Tenant shall cause each Subleasing Subsidiary to (1) comply with the SPE Requirements contained in the Subsidiary Guaranty and (2) hold the Membership Contracts relating to Tenant’s Business assigned to such Subleasing Subsidiary pursuant to the Merger Transaction or otherwise entered into by such Subleasing Subsidiary. Tenant shall in any case remain primarily liable (and not liable merely as a guarantor or surety) for the performance by any subtenant, including the Subleasing Subsidiaries, of all such covenants, as if no sublease had been made. No sublease, including the Tenant Subleases, shall release Tenant from Tenant’s obligations and liabilities under this Lease (which shall continue as the obligations of a principal and not of a guarantor or surety) or alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay all Rent and to perform all obligations to be paid and performed by Tenant. Consent to the Tenant Subleases shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent sublease. If any subtenant of Tenant, including the Subleasing Subsidiaries, defaults in the performance of any obligation to be performed by Tenant under this Lease, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of pursuing or exhausting remedies against such subtenant. Tenant shall not amend, terminate or otherwise modify the Tenant Subleases without Landlord’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in its sole discretion. Tenant and Landlord hereby agree to execute any additional documents reasonably required to effectuate the terms, provisions and conditions contained in this paragraph 25(g).

     (b) “Environmental Laws” means the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended, 42 U.S.C. §§6901, et seq. “RCRA,” the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, 42 U.S.C. §§9601, et seq. “CERCLA,” as amended, the Toxic Substance Control Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. §§2601, et seq., the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, as amended, 7 U.S.C. §§136, et seq., and all applicable federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, as any of the foregoing may have been or may be from time to time amended, supplemented or supplanted, and any other federal, state or local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations now or hereafter existing relating to regulation or control of Hazardous Materials. The term “Hazardous Materials” as used in this Lease shall mean substances defined as “hazardous substances,” “hazardous materials.” “hazardous wastes” or “toxic substances” in any applicable federal, state or local statute, rule, regulation or determination, including CERCLA; the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, 49 U.S.C. §§1801, et seq.; RCRA; and, asbestos, pcb’s, radioactive substances, methane, volatile hydrocarbons, petroleum or petroleum-derived substances or wastes, radon, industrial solvents or any other material as may be specified in applicable laws or regulations.

This agreement to indemnify and hold harmless shall (i) exclude matters to the extent caused by an Indemnified Party and (ii) be in addition to any other obligations or liabilities Tenant may have to Landlord at common law and under all statutes and ordinances or otherwise, and shall survive following the date of expiration or earlier termination of this Lease for six (6) years, except where the event giving rise to the liability for which indemnity is sought arises out of Tenant’s acts, in which case the agreement to indemnify and hold harmless shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease without limit of time. Tenant expressly agrees that the representations, warranties and covenants made and the indemnities stated in this Lease are not personal to Landlord, and the benefits under this Lease may be assigned to subsequent parties in interest to the chain of title to the Premises, which subsequent parties in interest may proceed directly against Tenant to recover pursuant to this Lease. Tenant, at its expense, may institute appropriate legal proceedings with respect to environmental matters of the type specified in this paragraph 26(c) or any lien for such environmental matters, not involving Landlord or its Mortgagee as a defendant (unless Landlord or its Mortgagee is the alleged cause of the damage), conducted in good faith and with due diligence, provided that such proceedings shall not in any way impair the interests of Landlord or Mortgagee under this Lease or contravene the provisions of any Mortgage. Counsel to Tenant in such proceedings shall be reasonably approved by Landlord if Landlord is a defendant in the same proceeding. Landlord shall have the right to appoint co-counsel, which co-counsel will cooperate with Tenant’s counsel in such proceedings. The fees and expenses of such co-counsel shall be paid by Landlord, unless such co-counsel is appointed because the interests of Landlord and Tenant in such proceedings, in such counsel’s opinion, are or have become adverse, or Tenant or Tenant’s counsel is not conducting such proceedings in good faith or with due diligence.
     (d) Tenant, upon three (3) Business Days’ prior notice, shall permit such Persons as Landlord or any assignee of Landlord may designate and (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) approved by Tenant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (“Site Reviewers”), to visit the Premises from time to time and perform environmental site investigations and assessments (“Site Assessments”) on the Premises for the purpose of determining whether there exists on the Premises any environmental condition which may result in any liability, cost or expense to Landlord or any other owner or occupier of the Premises. Such Site Assessments may include both above and below the ground testing for environmental damage or the presence of Hazardous Material on the Premises and such other tests on the Premises as may be necessary to conduct the Site Assessments in the reasonable opinion of the Site Reviewers. Tenant shall supply to the Site Reviewers such historical and operational information regarding the Premises as may be reasonably requested by the Site Reviewers to facilitate the Site Assessments (other than information previously supplied in writing to Landlord by Tenant) and shall make available for meetings with the Site Reviewers appropriate personnel having knowledge of such matters. The cost of performing and reporting all Site Assessments shall be paid by Landlord unless the Site Reviewers discover a material environmental condition causing the Premises not to be in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, in which event such cost shall be paid by Tenant within ten (10) calendar days after demand by Landlord with interest to accrue at the Overdue Rate. Landlord, promptly after written request by Tenant and payment by Tenant to the extent required as aforesaid, shall deliver to Tenant copies of reports, summaries or other compilations of the results of such Site

          (i) notice or claim to the effect that Tenant is or may be liable to any Person as a result of the release or threatened release of any Hazardous Materials into the environment from the Premises;

The amounts in such Accounts (other than the Chase Accounts and the Concentration Account) shall increase or decrease as the purposes for which they are funded shall increase or decrease at Landlord’s reasonable determination. At the end of the Term, all amounts in all Accounts, including the Concentration Account, shall be distributed to a successor Tenant to whom the Membership Contracts are transferred pursuant to paragraph 22(f) of this Lease.
     The Frisco Accounts have been, and shall continue to be, pledged to Landlord as additional security for the payment, performance and observance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, and Landlord has, and until the end of the Term, shall have, control (as defined in Sections 9-104 or 8-106 of the UCC) over said Accounts for purposes of perfecting Landlord’s security interests therein.

          (vi) No Other Accounts.

Tenant agrees that, until the Lease Expiration Date, neither Tenant nor any other Person shall open any accounts for the collection or holding of Membership Dues or Membership Contract Receivable proceeds, other than the Accounts and the Chase Accounts (and the Local Accounts and the Canadian Accounts, to the extent expressly permitted hereunder). Tenant represents and covenants to Landlord that Tenant shall not direct any Membership Dues or payments with respect to Membership Contract Receivables to be made by any Member in any manner other than as set forth in paragraph 31(c)(ii) of this Lease and that Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent, discourage and minimize payment of Membership Dues at campgrounds and, except for de minimis amounts consistent with past practices, Tenant shall not deposit any Membership Dues into the Local Accounts (other than the Chase Accounts).

Tenant shall not permit payments pursuant to Membership Contracts to be paid to any other Person or direct or cause any Members to pay in any manner other than as specifically provided herein. Nothing herein is intended or shall be construed to prohibit Tenant or Tenant’s Subsidiaries from accepting payment of Membership Dues or Membership Contract Receivables, as and when tendered by a Member at a campground, consistent with past practice. For purposes of this paragraph, “Lockboxes” shall mean those certain lockbox accounts maintained by Equiant Financial Services, Inc. for the accounts of its clients, including Tenant and Tenant’s Subsidiaries, at Chase Bank USA, N.A. bearing the designation P.O.

Tenant hereby irrevocably authorizes Landlord to pay (1) Fixed Rent due hereunder, using any funds on deposit in the Reserve Account and (2) any amounts due on the Working Capital Loan using any funds on deposit in the Reserve Account, and Landlord shall pay such amounts due and payable in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion.
     (e) Payments and Disbursements from Accounts.

          (iii) If Tenant does not have funds available, either in the Concentration Account or otherwise, to pay Property Taxes, Other Taxes, income taxes, premiums on the Policies or Promotions and Discounts, it may request Landlord to make distributions from the Accounts for such purposes. Any such request shall be accompanied by evidence, satisfactory to Landlord, that such funds are required, and that there are no funds available to Tenant either in the Concentration Account or elsewhere. Thereupon, Landlord shall, provided no Event of Default is then existing, direct that such payments be made, provided, however, that any Account from which such payment is made shall be promptly replenished from any revenues received by the Tenant prior to any revenue being allocated to any other use.

     (g) Certain Matters Regarding Landlord following an Event of Default. Tenant agrees that the Bank and Cash Management Bank, as applicable, shall pay over to Landlord all amounts deposited in the Accounts and the Local Accounts on demand, without notice to Tenant, if, in making such demand, Landlord shall give notice, in writing, signed by Landlord or an authorized agent thereof, that an Event of Default exists. Landlord may exercise in respect of the Account Collateral all rights and remedies available to Landlord hereunder, or otherwise available at law or in equity. If an Event of Default exists, Landlord may exercise in respect of the Account Collateral, in addition to any other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC then in effect in the applicable jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it will have no further right to request or otherwise require Landlord to disburse funds from any Account in accordance with the terms of this Lease, it being agreed that Landlord may, at its option, (i) direct the Bank or Cash Management Bank, as applicable, to continue to hold the funds in the Accounts, (ii) continue, from time to time, to apply all or any portion of the funds held in the Accounts to any payment(s) which such funds could have been applied to prior to such Event of Default (or to pay expenses directly), to the extent and in such order and manner as Landlord in its sole discretion may determine, and/or (iii) direct the Bank or Cash Management Bank, as applicable, to disburse all or any portion of the funds held in the Reserve Accounts or other Account Collateral then or thereafter held by the Bank or Cash Management Bank to Landlord, in which event Landlord may apply the funds held in the Accounts, the Local Accounts (to the extent not yet transferred to the Accounts) or other Account Collateral to Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, in any order and in such manner as Landlord may determine in its sole discretion. If an Event of Default exists, Landlord may, at any time or from time to time: (1) collect, appropriate, redeem, realize upon or otherwise enforce its rights with respect to the Account Collateral, or any part thereof, without notice to Tenant and without the need to institute any legal action, make demand to or upon Tenant or any other Person, exhaust any other remedies or otherwise proceed to enforce its rights; (2) execute (in the name, place and stead of Tenant) any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance which may be required for the withdrawal and negotiation of the Account Collateral; and/or (3) exercise all other rights and remedies available to Landlord hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein: (x) the exercise by Landlord of any of its rights hereunder shall not release Tenant from its obligations under this Lease, nor shall it constitute an election of remedies by Landlord or a waiver by Landlord of any of its rights and remedies under this Lease; (y) except as expressly set forth in this Lease, Landlord shall not have any obligation or liability by reason of this Lease, nor shall Landlord be obligated to perform any of the obligations or

58

duties of Tenant hereunder or to take any action, in each case, to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder; and (z) Landlord shall not have to resort to using the Account Collateral before making demand upon or bringing an action against Tenant under any guaranty given in connection with this Lease. No failure on the part of Landlord to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right under this Lease shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right under this Lease. The remedies provided in this Lease are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided at law or in equity.

39. PROMOTIONS AND DISCOUNTS RESERVE ACCOUNT
     Tenant recognizes Landlord’s interest in continued annual dues payable under Membership Contracts in order for proceeds to be available for the maintenance and delivery of services at the Premises for the benefit of the holders of all Membership Contracts. As a result, Tenant agrees to endeavor to continue to operate and to cause Tenant’s Subsidiaries to continue to operate Tenant’s Business in a manner which remains consistent with the relationship between usage benefits and annual membership dues currently in existence as of the date of this Lease (such manner of operation being referred to herein as “Tenant’s Manner of Operation”). If Tenant or any of Tenant’s Subsidiaries pursue any marketing effort that would cause Tenant to materially and adversely deviate from Tenant’s Manner of Operation, taking into account Tenant’s business as a whole (such deviation shall be referred to herein as a “Variance Program”), then Tenant shall, within five (5) Business Days after instituting such marketing effort, notify Landlord of such Variance Program. Promptly thereafter, Landlord and Tenant shall use good faith efforts to determine whether or not and to what extent Tenant shall be obligated to make a deposit into the Promotions and Discount Reserve in connection with such Variance Program (“Variance Program Deposit”) and upon such agreement, Tenant shall make such Variance Program Deposit into the Promotions and Discount Reserve Account. Within ninety (90) days following the expiration of each fiscal year of Tenant, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a certificate of Tenant’s Chief Financial Officer stating that in such officer’s good faith judgment, Tenant has not commenced and has not permitted any of Tenant’s Subsidiaries to commence any Variance Programs during the preceding fiscal year of Tenant other than those which Tenant has disclosed to Landlord. Variance Program Deposits made into the Promotions and Discounts Reserve Account shall be made for the purposes of establishing and maintaining a reserve (the “Promotions and Discounts Reserve”) for the payment of any deficiencies in Tenant’s payment of Rent under this Lease. If Tenant or Tenant’s Subsidiaries revise its marketing efforts in a manner that reinstitutes Tenant’s Manner of Operation (or otherwise positively affects the relationship between usage benefits and annual membership dues), then

66

          (i) Offer the title to or possession of the Resort to an association of Purchasers to operate the Resort; or
          (ii) Obtain a commitment from another entity (which obtains title or possession to the Resort) to undertake the responsibility of operating the Resort.
     (c) The covenants contained herein may be enforced by each Purchaser of a Camping Resort Contract, provided that the Purchaser is not in default under the terms of the Purchaser’s Camping Resort Contract.
     (d) The covenants contained herein shall be effective as between each Purchaser and Landlord despite any rejection or cancellation of the Purchaser’s Camping Resort Contract during any bankruptcy proceedings of Tenant or any of its present or future Affiliates.

Tenant represents to Landlord that it does not and shall not conduct any activity in the Premises located in New Jersey which shall cause it to be considered an “industrial establishment” under ISRA, or otherwise subject the Premises to the requirements of compliance with ISRA and Tenant does not and shall not conduct any operations that shall subject the Premises located in New Jersey to ISRA.
     (b) If at any time during the Term or any Extension Term, the Premises shall be determined to be an industrial establishment under ISRA, Tenant shall comply with the provisions of ISRA, or other similar applicable laws, prior to its termination of any activities in the Premises or the expiration of the Term of this Lease, or the occurrence of a “triggering event” under ISRA, whichever is earlier.

Notwithstanding the foregoing,

In no event shall the failure of Tenant to obtain or the failure of the municipality to issue any required permit, approval, license or certificate nor the imposition of any fine or penalty or the legal closure of the Premise for use and occupancy by the municipality relieve Tenant from its obligation to pay Rent or otherwise perform its obligations under this Lease. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless Landlord of, from and against any and all liability, cost (including any and all attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses), damages, expenses, suits or other legal actions or proceedings suffered, incurred by or imposed upon Landlord as a result of the failure of Tenant to obtain such permits, approvals, licenses or certificates or the failure of the municipality to issue any required permit, approval, license or certificate.

     “(a) Except for liens created through the act of Landlord, Tenant shall not suffer or permit any construction lien, notice of construction lien, or other lien to be filed or recorded against the Premises, equipment or material supplied or claimed to have been supplied to the Premises at the request of Tenant, or anyone holding the Premises, or any portion thereof, through or under Tenant.
