     6.6 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 6, proceeds of any insurance carried by Tenant on Tenant’s Property or any other property of Tenant shall be payable directly to Tenant, and Tenant shall have the exclusive right to adjust and settle losses with respect thereto.

destruction of the Property or any part thereof (less the costs, fees and expenses incurred by Tenant in the collection thereof, which shall be paid out of such proceeds) shall be paid to Tenant as Restoration progresses, to pay for the cost of Restoration, upon written request of Tenant accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Landlord that an amount equal to the amount requested is then due and payable or has been paid and is properly a part of such cost and that the net insurance proceeds not yet advanced will be sufficient for the completion of the Restoration. Upon receipt by Landlord of evidence satisfactory to them that Restoration has been completed and the cost thereof paid in full, and that there are no mechanic’s or similar liens for labor or materials supplied in connection therewith, the balance, if any, of such insurance proceeds (and any amount so made available by Landlord) shall be paid to Landlord, without reduction in the Basic Rent. Upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, any insurance proceeds not theretofore applied to the cost of Restoration shall be paid to Landlord.
     9.3 Except as provided in Section 9.4, no destruction of or damage to the Property, or any part thereof, whether such damage or destruction be partial or total or otherwise, shall entitle or permit Tenant to surrender or terminate this Lease or shall relieve Tenant from its liability to pay in full the Basic Rent and other sums and charges payable by Tenant hereunder, or from any of its other obligations under this Lease, and Tenant hereby waives any rights now or hereafter conferred upon it by statute or otherwise to surrender this Lease or quit or surrender the Property or any part thereof, or to receive any suspension, diminution, abatement or reduction of the Basic Rent or other sums and charges payable by Tenant hereunder on account of any such destruction or damage.
     9.4 In case of any damage to or destruction of the Property which occurs during the last two (2) years of the Term in respect of which the cost of Restoration is reasonably estimated to exceed forty percent (40%) of the replacement cost of the Property and/or for which substantial completion of Restoration cannot occur until more than six (6) months following such damage or destruction, as such cost of Restoration and/or date of substantial completion is estimated in good faith by a reputable general contractor promptly selected by Tenant and approved by Landlord, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving written notice thereof to Landlord within forty-five (45) days after the date of such damage or destruction. Such termination shall be effective on the date such notice is given. In case of any such termination, Tenant shall not have any obligation to repair or restore the Property, provided however Landlord shall receive insurance proceeds attributable to the Improvements at the Property, including any Alterations.
Article 10. CONDEMNATION
     10.1 In the event of a Taking of the whole or substantially all of the Property, either Tenant or Landlord may terminate this Lease, and if either party elects to terminate the Lease due to such Taking, the Basic Rent and all other sums and charges required to be paid by Tenant hereunder shall be paid to the date of such Taking. In the event of any such Taking and notwithstanding the termination of this Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall together make one claim for an award for their combined interests in the Property and, subject to the requirements of the First Mortgage, the net award received (after deduction of reasonable fees and expenses of

13


 

collection, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees) shall be paid as follows and in the following order:
     10.1.1 Tenant shall be entitled to the portion of the award made for the value of its leasehold estate computed as though this Lease had not been terminated, for Tenant’s Property, and for moving expenses; and
     10.1.2 Landlord shall receive the balance of the award.
     10.2 In the event of a Taking of less than substantially all of the Property, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and Tenant shall give prompt notice thereof to Landlord and Tenant shall proceed promptly and with reasonable diligence (subject to Unavoidable Delays) to commence and complete Restoration, except to the extent made impossible by any reduction in area caused by such Taking. All awards payable as a result of any Taking shall be distributed as follows and in the following order, provided that there shall first be deducted therefrom all reasonable fees and expenses of collection, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees:
     10.2.1 Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Landlord shall distribute the proceeds of such award to Tenant for the purpose of Restoration in the manner provided in Section 9.2, and subject to the terms and conditions of such Section; and
     10.2.2 The balance of the award, if any, shall be paid to Landlord.
If the Loan is no longer outstanding and all Loan Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, at the time such Taking occurs, Basic Rent shall be reduced by a fair and equitable amount taking into account the proportion by which the Fair Rental Value of the Property has been reduced by the Taking (if at all).
     10.3 As used herein, a Taking of “substantially all of the Property” shall mean a Taking of such portion of the Property that results in the remaining portion of the Property being insufficient to permit the continued operation of Tenant’s business thereon even if restored to an architectural unit under this Lease. Following the indefeasible payment in full of the Loan and all Loan Obligations, any dispute between the parties as to whether any particular Taking constitutes a Taking of all or substantially all, or a Taking of less than substantially all, of the Property shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association as then in effect and any determination therein shall be final and binding on Landlord and Tenant.
Article 11. DISCHARGE OF LIENS
     Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall create any charge, lien, security interest or encumbrance on the Property, which arises for any reason, including, without limitation, liens or notices of claims of liens of mechanics and materialmen for work or materials contracted to be supplied to the Property by Landlord or Tenant, respectively, subject to Tenant’s rights as set

14


 

forth in Sections 15.4 to create a leasehold mortgage; provided, however, nothing contained in this Lease shall prohibit (a) Landlord from granting any lien pursuant to or permitted under a First Mortgage, or (b) any First Mortgagee from granting or assigning any security interest or other interest in, or any lien or other encumbrance on, the Property. Subject to Tenant’s right to contest set forth in Article 23, Tenant shall remove and discharge any charge, lien, security interest or encumbrance on the Property which arises for any reason, other than pursuant to or permitted under a First Mortgage or by or through a First Mortgagee.
Article 12. USE OF PROPERTY
     12.1 Tenant may occupy and use the Property for any commercial purpose (except for any noxious or manufacturing use) and for any ancillary uses incidental thereto and for no other purpose without the prior written consent of Landlord. Tenant shall not use or occupy or permit any of the Property to be used or occupied, nor do or permit anything to be done in or on any of the Property, in a manner which would or might (a) violate any law or Permitted Exception, (b) make void or voidable or cause any insurer to cancel any insurance required by this Lease, or make it impossible to obtain any such insurance at commercially reasonable rates, (c) cause structural injury to any of the Improvements, (d) reduce the Fair Market Value or the Fair Rental Value of the Property, or (e) constitute a public or private nuisance or waste.
     12.2 Tenant shall not suffer any act to be done or any condition to exist on the Property or any part thereof which may, in law, constitute a nuisance, public or private.
     12.3 Tenant shall not permit any Environmental Activity on, about or under the Property other than the use, storage and disposal of the minimum quantities of Hazardous Materials in the ordinary course of business at the Property and in compliance with all Environmental Laws. Tenant shall promptly, properly and completely remediate the effect of any Environmental Activity in violation of this Section 12.3. Tenant will notify Landlord immediately upon Tenant becoming aware of (a) any actual, suspected or threatened violation of Environmental Laws with respect to the Property or with respect to any property in the vicinity of the Property, and (b) any Environmental Activity with respect to the Property or with respect to any property in the vicinity of the Property. Tenant promptly will deliver to Landlord copies of all documents delivered to or received by Tenant regarding the matters set forth in this Section 12.3, including notices of any legal proceedings or investigations concerning any Environmental Activity or concerning Landlord’s or Tenant’s status as potentially responsible party (as defined in the Environmental Laws). Tenant’s notification to Landlord in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.3 will not be deemed to excuse any default under this Lease resulting from the Environmental Activity or the violation of Environmental Laws that is the subject of the notice.
Article 13. ENTRY ON PROPERTY BY LANDLORD
     Upon reasonable prior written notice (except in the case of an emergency, or following the occurrence of an Event of Default), Tenant shall permit each of Landlord and First Mortgagee, and their respective contractors, consultants, representatives and designees to enter the Property at all reasonable times for the purpose of (a) inspecting and testing the same and assuring compliance with all provisions of this Lease, (b) exercising its rights pursuant and

15


 

subject to this Lease, and (c) showing the same to prospective purchasers, mortgagees and tenants (during the last six (6) months of the Term only with respect to prospective tenants, unless an Event of Default exists).
Article 14. WAIVER AND INDEMNIFICATION
     14.1 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Landlord and Tenant hereby release one another and their respective partners, officers and employees from any and all liability (to the other or anyone claiming through or under them by way of subrogation or other otherwise) for any loss or damage to the extent of the amount of proceeds that have been received under the insurance described in Subsections 6.1.1 with respect to such loss or damage, even if such loss or damage shall have been caused by the fault or negligence of the other party, or anyone for whom such party may be responsible.
     14.2 Landlord shall not be responsible or liable to Tenant for any loss or damage to Tenant’s Property arising from (a) the acts or omissions of persons other than Landlord occupying premises adjacent to the Property, or transacting any business in the area of the Property, or (b) burst, stopped or leaking water, gas or sewer pipes or any failure of, or defect in, any electric line, circuit or facility, or (c) any condition of the Property.
     14.3 Each party hereto shall defend, indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, demands, costs, charges, judgments and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, which may be imposed upon or incurred or paid by or asserted against such other party to the extent arising by reason of or in connection with any negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such party or any of its agents, contractors, servants, employees, licensees or invitees and accruing or occurring during the Term.
     14.4 Without limitation to Tenant’s obligations under Section 14.3, Tenant shall defend with counsel approved by Landlord, indemnify and save Landlord harmless from and against all liabilities, obligations, damages, fines, penalties, claims, demands, costs, charges, judgments and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable architects’ and attorneys’ fees, which may be imposed upon or incurred or paid by or asserted against Landlord, the Property or any interest therein by reason of or in connection with any of the following accruing or occurring during the Term, or arising from events occurring during the Term:
     14.4.1 Any Alterations and anything done in, on or about the Property or any part thereof in connection therewith;
     14.4.2 The use, non-use, possession, occupation, condition, operation, maintenance or management of the Property;
     14.4.3 Any acts, omissions or negligence on the part of Tenant or any of its agents, sublessee, customers, contractors, servants, employees, licensees or invitees;

16


 

     14.4.4 Any accident, injury, death or damage to any person or property occurring in or on the Property;
     14.4.5 Any Environmental Activity occurring during the Term on, about, to or from the Property or any part thereof; and
     14.4.6 Any failure of Tenant to perform its obligations under, or to comply with any term of, this Lease.
Nothing contained in this Section 14.4 shall be deemed to require Tenant to indemnify Landlord with respect to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its officers, employees, agents or contractors, or to any extent prohibited by law.
     14.5. In addition to the indemnity obligations set forth in Sections 14.3 and 14.4, Tenant shall defend with counsel approved by First Mortgagee, indemnify and save First Mortgagee harmless from and against all liabilities, obligations, damages, fines, penalties, claims, demands, costs, charges, judgments and expenses, including, but not limited to reasonable architects’ and attorneys’ fees, which may be imposed upon or incurred or paid by or asserted against First Mortgagee by reason of or in connection with any of the matters described in subsections 14.4.1 through 14.4.6 above. However, nothing contained in this Section 14.5 shall be deemed to require Tenant to indemnify First Mortgagee with respect to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of First Mortgagee or its officers, employees, agents or contractors, or to any extent prohibited by law.
     14.6 The provisions of this Article 14 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease and the purchase of the Property pursuant to the First Offer Right.
Article 15. ASSIGNMENT
     15.1 Tenant’s interest in this Lease, the Property or any part thereof, may not be assigned or otherwise transferred without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Tenant may, without the necessity of the consent of Landlord, at any time assign or otherwise transfer this Lease or any portion thereof to any Life Time Affiliate.
     15.2 No consent by Landlord pursuant to this Article 15 shall waive the requirement to obtain consent in any subsequent instance. If Tenant assigns all its rights and interest under this Lease, the assignee under such assignment shall expressly assume all the obligations of Tenant hereunder which may arise on or after the date of such assignment, by a written instrument delivered to Landlord at the time of such assignment. No assignment or sublease shall affect or reduce any of the obligations of Tenant hereunder, and all such obligations shall continue in full force and effect as obligations of a principal and not as obligations of a guarantor, as if no assignment or sublease had been made. No assignment or sublease shall impose any additional obligations on Landlord under this Lease.

17


 

     15.3 Tenant may enter into, amend, terminate or modify from time to time subleases or licenses demising up to 10% of the rentable area of the Improvements on terms acceptable to Tenant in its sole discretion. Each such sublease or license shall be subject and subordinate to the provisions of this Lease. As security for performance of its obligations under this Lease, Tenant hereby grants, conveys and assigns to Landlord all right, title and interest of Tenant in and to all subleases and licenses hereafter entered into for any or all of the Property, any and all extensions, modifications and renewals thereof and all rents, issues and profits therefrom. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a license to collect and enjoy all rents and other sums of money payable under any sublease of any of the Property, provided, however, that Landlord shall have the absolute right at any time while an uncured Event of Default exists upon notice to Tenant and any subtenants to revoke said license and to collect such rents and sums of money and to retain the same.
     15.4 Tenant is hereby given the right by Landlord to mortgage its leasehold estate created under this Lease, under one or more leasehold mortgage(s) upon the conditions that (a) all rights acquired under such leasehold mortgage(s) shall be subject and subordinate to each and all of the covenants, conditions and restrictions set forth in this Lease and to all rights and interests of the Landlord in and to the Property and this Lease, none of which covenants, conditions, restrictions, rights or interests is or shall be waived by Landlord by reason of the right given to Tenant in this Section 15.4 to mortgage Tenant’s leasehold estate created under this Lease, and (b) such leasehold mortgagees execute and deliver to Landlord and any First Mortgagee a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement, and any other documents, instruments or agreements reasonably requested by Landlord to evidence such subordination and such other matters as Landlord may reasonably request in connection therewith. Tenant’s rights under this Section 15.4 are subject to the terms and conditions of the First Mortgage.
     15.5 Landlord agrees to accept timely performance by a leasehold mortgagee of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. In the event of any act or omission by Tenant which would give Landlord the right to damages from Tenant or the right to terminate this Lease pursuant to Article 17, Landlord will not sue for such damages nor exercise any such right to terminate until (a) it shall have given written notice of the act or omission to Tenant and to the leasehold mortgagee, if the name and address of such leasehold mortgagee has been furnished to Landlord, and (b) leasehold mortgagee shall have the right to cure any default by Tenant for the same period after receiving notice of such default from Landlord as Tenant has, plus thirty (30) additional days. In order to exercise this right to cure any default by Tenant, the leasehold mortgagee, its agents or employees, will be entitled to enter upon the Property and take whatever action may be necessary to remedy the act or omission. Landlord shall accept a cure performed within such period by any leasehold mortgagee as though the cure had been done or performed within a timely fashion by Tenant.
Article 16. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES
     Each party hereto agrees from time to time, upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior notice from the other, to execute, acknowledge and deliver, without charge, to the other or its designee, a statement in writing, certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if

18


 

there have been modifications, identifying the same by the date thereof and specifying the nature thereof), the dates to which the Basic Rent and other sums and charges payable hereunder have been paid, the amount of the Basic Rent, that to its actual knowledge there are no claims against the other hereunder (or if there are any such claims, specifying the same), that to its actual knowledge the other party is not in default and there exists no circumstance which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default (or if such party is aware of any such default or circumstance specifying the same), and such other matters as Landlord, Tenant or the First Mortgagee shall reasonably request.
Article 17. EVENTS OF DEFAULT; TERMINATION
     17.1 If any one or more of the following events (“Events of Default”) shall happen, then and in any such event, Landlord may exercise all rights and remedies permitted by law, including giving notice to Tenant specifying such Event or Events of Default and stating that this Lease and the Term shall expire and terminate on the date specified in such notice, and on such date this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided:
     17.1.1 Tenant defaults in the payment of any Basic Rent payable under this Lease and Tenant does not cure such default within ten (10) days after such Basic Rent is due;

     17.1.4 Guarantor repudiates, refuses, purports to revoke, or fails to perform its obligations under the Guaranty, and fails to cure the same within 10 business days after written demand by Landlord or First Mortgagee, it being agreed that Guarantor’s performance under protest or with a reservation of rights may not be construed as a repudiation or refusal to perform;
     17.1.5 either Tenant or Guarantor becomes insolvent, or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they mature, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or Tenant or Guarantor applies for or consents to the appointment of any

     17.1.6 Tenant vacates or abandons the Property (temporary closures for environmental remediation or for Remodeling or repair in accordance with this Lease for a period not to exceed six months will not be deemed to be a vacation or abandonment of the Property);

     17.1.8 until the Loan and all Loan Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full, ownership of Tenant changes other than transfers in ownership to (a) a Life Time Affiliate, or (b) any Qualified Equityholder (as such term is defined in and made applicable to Tenant in the Reimbursement Agreement);
     17.1.9 an “Event of Default” (as defined in the Other Lease) occurs; or
     17.1.10 Tenant subleases the Property or assigns this Lease in violation of Article 15 of this Lease, and such failure is not cured within 10 business days after Landlord’s written notice thereof.
     17.2 If this Lease shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 17.1, Landlord may enter upon and repossess the Property (said repossession being hereinafter referred to as “Repossession”) by summary proceedings or ejectment, and may remove Tenant and all other persons therefrom.
     17.3 From time to time after the Repossession of the Property, Landlord may relet the Property for the account of Tenant (unless Landlord has elected to collect liquidated damages pursuant to Section 17.5 below) in the name of Landlord or otherwise, for such term or terms (which may be greater or less than the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term) and on such terms and for such uses as Landlord may in its reasonable business judgment determine, and may collect and receive the rent therefor. Landlord shall not be responsible or liable for any failure to collect any rent due upon any such reletting. Landlord shall act reasonably to mitigate damages.
     17.4 No termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 17.1 and no Repossession of the Property pursuant to Section 17.2 or otherwise shall relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay Basic

20


 

Rent or any of its other obligations under this Lease, all of which shall survive any such termination or Repossession.
     17.5 In the event of any such termination or Repossession, whether or not the property shall have been relet, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Basic Rent and other sums and charges to be paid by Tenant up to the time of such termination or Repossession, and thereafter Tenant, until the end of what would have been the Term in the absence of such termination or Repossession, shall pay to Landlord, as and for liquidated and agreed current damages for Tenant’s default, the equivalent of the amount of the Basic Rent and such other sums and charges which would be payable under this Lease by Tenant if this Lease were still in effect, less the net proceeds if any, of any reletting effected pursuant to the provisions of Section 17.3, after deducting all of Landlord’s expenses in connection with such reletting, including, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage and management commissions, operating expenses legal expenses, attorneys’ fees, and reasonable, market expenses of preparation for such reletting. Tenant shall pay such current damages to Landlord monthly on the days on which the Basic Rent would have been payable under this Lease if this Lease were still in effect, and Landlord shall be entitled to recover the same from Tenant on each such day. At any time after such termination or Repossession, whether or not Landlord shall have collected any current damages as aforesaid, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand, as and for liquidated and agreed final damages for Tenant’s default, an amount equal to the then present value of the excess of the Basic Rent reserved under this Lease from the day of such termination or Repossession for what would be the then unexpired Term if the same had remained in effect, over the then Fair Rental Value for the same period, discounted at a rate equal to one percent (1.0%) plus the discount rate at the time of liquidation of the Federal Reserve Bank for the district in which the Property is located.
     17.6 No failure by Landlord to insist upon the strict performance of any term hereof or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance of full or partial rent during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of any such term.
     17.7 Tenant may exercise and continue to exercise all of its rights under this Lease upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any default or Event of Default under this Lease up to the point of termination of this Lease and actual Repossession, as defined in Section 17.2, including, but not limited to, the First Offer Right.

Upon such expiration or termination of this Lease, any Tenant’s Property which shall remain on the Property after the expiration or termination of this Lease may, at the option of Landlord, be deemed to have been abandoned, and may either be retained by Landlord as its property or be disposed at Tenant’s expense or without accountability, as Landlord may see

21


 

fit, provided that if Landlord shall store or warehouse any such property for any period of time Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all expenses incurred in connection therewith, which obligation shall survive any such expiration or termination of this Lease.

     23.1.1 In the case of an unpaid claim, such Contest shall operate to suspend the collection of the same from Landlord and Tenant therein; and
     23.1.2 Neither the Property nor any part thereof nor any interest therein shall be, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, in imminent danger of being forfeited or lost.
     23.2 During the period Tenant carries forward any such Contest in good faith, Tenant shall be relieved from its obligations herein contained to pay the claims, or to clear the liens with respect to which such contest is conducted.

23


 

     23.3 All such Contests may be brought by Tenant in the name of Tenant or, if reasonably necessary, in the name of Landlord or Tenant and Landlord, as may be appropriate.

THE PROVISIONS OF THIS ARTICLE 24 HAVE BEEN NEGOTIATED, AND THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS ARE INTENDED TO BE A COMPLETE PRECLUSION AND NEGATION OF ANY WARRANTIES BY LANDLORD, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO ANY OF THE PROPERTY, ARISING PURSUANT TO THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE OR ANY OTHER LAW NOW OR HEREAFTER IN EFFECT OR OTHERWISE.
Article 25. TENANT’S RIGHT TO CURE LANDLORD’S DEFAULT UNDER FIRST MORTGAGE
     If Landlord shall default in the payment of any monies required to be paid under any First Mortgage or shall fail to perform any other term or provision thereof (provided that the performance of the same is not the obligation of Tenant under this Lease), then, upon twenty (20) days prior written notice to Landlord (except in the case of emergency, when no notice shall be required), Tenant may, but shall not be obligated to, make such payment directly to the First Mortgagee or perform such term or provision and in any such event Tenant shall be entitled to credit the amount of such payment and the cost of such performance against Basic Rent hereunder, and the installments thereof, next coming due hereunder.
Article 26. SUBORDINATION AND NON-DISTURBANCE
     Tenant agrees that, upon the request of Landlord made in writing, Tenant will subordinate this Lease to any First Mortgage and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof; provided, however, that the First Mortgagee shall enter into a binding agreement (the “Non-Disturbance Agreement”) with Tenant providing that for so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Tenant shall

24


 

not be disturbed in its possession of the Property or its rights hereunder terminated or impaired by the First Mortgagee, purchaser at foreclosure or other such party and that this Lease shall continue in full force and effect following any foreclosure thereof or any deed given in lieu thereof, except that this Lease may nonetheless be terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Lease providing for such termination, including without limitation pursuant to Article 17. In the event the First Mortgagee or other purchaser at foreclosure sale succeeds to the interest of Landlord under this Lease, Tenant will automatically become the tenant of and shall be deemed to have attorned to such successor in interest as Landlord under this Lease without change in the terms or provisions of this Lease, provided, however, that such successor in interest shall not be bound by any amendment or modification of this Lease made after Tenant enters into the Non-Disturbance Agreement without the written consent of such First Mortgagee or such successor in interest. Upon written request by such successor in interest, Tenant and such successor shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments whereby Tenant confirms the attornment herein provided for and in which such successor shall acknowledge its obligations and responsibilities to Tenant under the Lease and, with respect thereto, shall recognize this Lease and the tenancy hereunder of Tenant.
Article 27. FIRST OFFER RIGHT
     27.1 Landlord shall not (a) sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of any partial interest in the Property or any part thereof to an unrelated third party, or (b) sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of its interest in the Property to an unrelated third party until at least fifteen (15) days after it has given Tenant written notice (the “Landlord’s Notice”) as herein provided of its intention to dispose of the Property. The Landlord’s Notice shall describe in reasonable detail Landlord’s determination of the Fair Market Value of the Property at which Landlord intends to sell the Property (including, if the proposed consideration for such disposition is property other than cash, the Fair Market Value of such property, in Landlord’s opinion, as of the date of the notice), and the other terms of such proposed disposition. Tenant shall have and is hereby granted the first right and option (“First Offer Right”) to purchase the Property in the manner, at the price and on the terms provided in the Landlord’s Notice. During the Term and except as required by the terms of the First Mortgage, Landlord shall not transfer, sell or convey all or any portion of the Property.
     27.2 The First Offer Right may be exercised by Tenant by giving notice to Landlord at any time within ten (10) days after receipt of the Landlord’s Notice.
     27.3 The purchase price for the Property pursuant to exercise of the First Offer Right shall be the price stated in the Landlord’s Notice as the price at which Landlord proposes to sell, transfer or assign the Property; provided that (a) if all or any part of the proposed consideration for said sale, transfer or assignment is property other than cash, such portion of the purchase price to be paid by Tenant shall be based on the Fair Market Value of the Property as of the date of Landlord’s Notice to be determined by appraisal in accordance with Article 28 below, and (b) if the Property is being disposed of together with other land or property, then Tenant may elect to have the consideration payable by it for the Property equal the Fair Market Value of such interest as of the date of Landlord’s Notice to be determined by appraisal in accordance with the procedure provided in Article 28 below.

25


 

     27.4 Contemporaneously with giving the Landlord’s Notice, Landlord shall provide a title insurance commitment for the Property with a then-current effective date. If such commitment reflects any matter materially and adversely affecting title to the Property in addition to the Permitted Exceptions (other than this Lease, a First Mortgage, and any encumbrances created on or after the date hereof by Tenant or those claiming by, through or under Tenant or with Tenant’s consent), then Tenant may give Landlord written notice of such matter. If Tenant gives Landlord such notice, Landlord use reasonable efforts to cause such matter to be removed and corrected of record within said ten (10) days of receipt of Tenant’s notice. If Landlord fails to do so within said thirty (30) days, Tenant may at its option (a) attempt to cause such encumbrances to be removed, (b) proceed to close, or (c) terminate the agreement formed by exercise of the First Offer Right by giving written notice thereof to Landlord, without such termination releasing Landlord from liability for damages hereunder. If Tenant elects alternative (a) above, closing shall be postponed until the encumbrances in question are removed and, if Tenant is unable within a further period of ten (10) days to cause such encumbrances to be removed, Tenant may then elect either alternative (b) or (c) above. All costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in causing or attempting to cause such encumbrances to be removed, including reasonable attorneys fees, shall be payable by Landlord.
     27.5 Subject to postponement pursuant to Section 27.4, Landlord shall convey the Property to Tenant on the first business day occurring thirty (30) days after the date Tenant exercises the First Offer Right at Landlord’s main offices. The deed shall be in the usual, proper limited warranty form for recording and registration, subject only to Permitted Exceptions and the other matters permitted pursuant to Section 27.4, and shall be accompanied by all documents necessary to allow the deed to be recorded. Landlord shall pay any state deed tax or revenue stamps or other transfer tax. Landlord shall pay any prepayment penalty or provision payable under the First Mortgage if the First Mortgage is satisfied in connection with the closing. Tenant shall pay any assumption fee payable under the First Mortgage in connection with such closing if Tenant assumes the First Mortgage. The purchase price (less the unpaid principal balance of the First Mortgage if assumed (subject to the terms thereof) by Tenant at the closing) shall be payable by wire transfer or other readily available funds. This Lease and all of the terms and provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect until the purchase has closed, except as otherwise provided herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 27, to the extent Tenant (subject to the terms of the First Mortgage) does not assume the First Mortgage, Landlord shall discharge the First Mortgage and all documents and agreements associated therewith at the closing.
     27.6 If Tenant fails to exercise the First Offer Right within the ten (10) day period provided in Section 27.2, Landlord shall be free to sell the Property free from the First Offer Right but subject to this Lease on the same price and terms provided in the Landlord’s Notice for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days following the expiration of such ten (10) day period. If Landlord does not close upon the transfer of the Property within such one hundred eighty (180) day period on substantially the same terms as those provided in the Landlord’s Notice, then the First Offer Right shall revive and Landlord shall be obligated to re-offer the Property to Tenant in accordance with Section 27.1 prior to any sale, transfer or disposition of the same. As used in this Section 27.6, “substantially the same” terms shall mean that the purchase price

26


 

pursuant to which Landlord proposes to sell the Property is not less than ninety-five percent (95%) of that provided in the Landlord’s Notice, adjusted for any difference in treatment of closing costs, and the terms are otherwise the same terms as provided in the Landlord’s Notice, provided that the provision of representations, warranties or other comfort to a third party purchaser, to the extent they relate to matters which such third party purchaser, not like Tenant having been in possession of and having knowledge of the Property, may require, shall not cause such transaction not to be on the same terms. Tenant shall, within five (5) days after Landlord’s request therefore, deliver an instrument in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord confirming the provisions of this Section 27.6, but no such instrument shall be necessary to make the provisions hereof effective.
     27.7 If Tenant does not timely exercise its First Offer Right and the Property is transferred to a third party, Tenant will attorn to such third party as Landlord so long as such third party and Landlord notify Tenant in writing of such transfer.
     27.8 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of this Article 27 shall not apply to or prohibit the following:
     27.8.1 The giving or granting of the First Mortgage;
     27.8.2 Any sale of the Property pursuant to a private power of sale under or judicial foreclosure of the First Mortgage;
     27.8.3 Any transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Property to First Mortgagee in lieu of foreclosure of the First Mortgage; or
     27.8.4 Any Taking.
     27.9 Any prepaid obligations paid to Landlord shall be prorated as of the closing date, and the prorated unapplied balance shall be deducted from the purchase price due to Landlord.
     27.10 The First Offer Right herein granted to Tenant is a continuing right of first offer and shall apply as often as any then holder of any part of the Landlord’s interest hereunder (including, but not limited to, any such holder who or which shall have acquired its interest in a disposition to which the First Offer Right applied but was not exercised) shall make or propose to make a sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or any part of the Property or any interest therein during the Term.
     27.11 The provisions of this Article 27 shall apply to any sale, transfer, assignment or other disposition of any membership or other interest in Landlord which result in a change of control of Landlord in the same manner as to a transfer of title to the Property.
Article 28. APPRAISAL
     28.1 Whenever Fair Market Value or Fair Rental Value is to be determined by appraisal in accordance with this Lease, the parties shall proceed as follows:

27


 

     28.1.1 Landlord and Tenant shall make good faith efforts to reach agreement as to the Fair Market Value or Fair Rental Value, as the case may be, within the thirty (30) days following the date of the event which gave rise to the need for such determination. Authorized representatives of Landlord and Tenant shall meet at least once during that period. If they reach agreement as to the Fair Market Value or Fair Rental Value, as the case may be, they shall put the same in writing and it shall then be binding on both parties for the purposes for which determined.
     28.1.2 If Landlord and Tenant do not reach agreement as to the Fair Rental Value or Fair Market Value, as the case may be, within the time permitted in Section 28.1.1 above, each party will choose a person with at least ten (10) years experience as a real estate appraiser appraising similar properties who shall be a member in good standing of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers (or successor organization or, if no such organization exists, then persons of similar professional qualifications) and given notice of the name and address of such person to the other within thirty (30) days after the period for reaching agreement in Section 28.1.1 has expired. Those two persons shall within fifteen (15) days select a third appraiser who has the minimum qualifications set forth above for the first two appraisers. If either party does not designate an appraiser within the prescribed thirty (30) day period, or if the two appraisers do not select a third appraiser within the prescribed fifteen (15) day period, the second or third appraiser, or both, as the case may be, shall be appointed by the president of the chapter of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraiser in a county where the Property is located (or successor organization, or, if no such organization exists, any judge of a court of general jurisdiction in such county). The three persons (the “Experts”) shall, after initially consulting each other, make a determination of the Fair Rental Value or Fair Market Value, as the case may be, as expeditiously as possible thereafter and in any event within thirty (30) days after the selection of the third Expert. The determination of the experts shall be made as follows:
28.1.2.1 Each Expert will independently determine the Fair Rental Value or Fair Market Value, as the case may be, and then all will meet and simultaneously disclose to the others their respective determinations.
28.1.2.2 If neither the highest nor the lowest determination differs from the middle determination by more than ten percent (10%) of such middle determination, then the Fair Rental Value or Fair Market Value, as the case may be, shall be the average of all three determinations.
28.1.2.3 The Experts shall promptly notify Landlord and Tenant of each of their separate determinations and the resulting Fair Rental Value or Fair Market Value, as the case may be. Judgment upon any appraisal decision rendered in accordance with the procedure may be entered by any Court having jurisdiction thereof. The determination of the Fair Rental Value pursuant to this procedure shall be final, binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant.

28


 

Article 29. TENANT’S PROPERTY
     29.1 The following property whether or not located in or on the Property or Improvements is collectively referred to as “Tenant’s Property;” provided, however, Tenant’s Property shall exclude the Improvements:
     29.1.1 All items of personal property, equipment and fixtures located on the Property, and whether or however attached to the Building, at any time that are necessary, incidental or convenient to the businesses from time to time conducted at the Property, including, without limitation, exercise equipment, kitchen equipment and furnishings, work stations, portable or movable partitions, receptionist desks, millwork, credenzas, computer installations (including computers, computer hardware, raised flooring, freestanding supplemental air conditioning or cooling systems therefor), communications systems and equipment, financial services equipment (such as ATM’s), safes, safe doors, bulletin boards, book shelves and file cabinets, but excluding the Improvements;
     29.1.2 All furniture, inventory, machinery, racking, shelving, and other personal property, excluding the Improvements;
     29.1.3 Any personal property, equipment or fixtures which is either not owned by Landlord or Tenant or is on consignment to Tenant, including any personal property owned by Tenant’s subtenants, employees or invitees;
     29.1.4 All signs and other forms of business identification;
     29.1.5 Any other items of personal property whatsoever located on the Property, excluding the Improvements; and
     29.1.6 All proceeds of the foregoing.
     29.2 Tenant’s Property does not constitute a portion of the Property, and, as between Landlord and Tenant, shall at all times during and after the Term be deemed to be the property of Tenant.
     29.3 Tenant shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion from time to time to install, alter, remove and/or replace such of Tenant’s Property as it shall deem to be useful or desirable in connection with its business in the Property; provided, however, Tenant shall promptly repair, at its sole cost and expense, any damage to the Property caused by any installation, alteration, removal or replacement of any of Tenant’s Property. Tenant further shall have the right to enter into such agreements and assignments with respect to the Tenant’s Property as Tenant in its sole discretion shall deem advisable, including financing and similar arrangements.
     29.4 Landlord shall execute such landlord consents and other agreements as shall be reasonably requested by Tenant in connection with any such agreements and arrangements.

29


 

Landlord hereby waives each and every right which Landlord now has or may hereafter have under Legal Requirements or by the terms of any agreement now in effect or hereafter exercised by Landlord or First Mortgagee to levy or distrain upon any of Tenant’s Property for rent or to claim or assert title to any of Tenant’s Property.
Article 30. MISCELLANEOUS
     30.1 In any case under this Lease which requires that a consent or approval may not be unreasonably withheld, such consent or approval shall be acted on promptly and without unreasonable delay.
     30.2 If any term of this Lease or any application thereof shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease and any other application of such term shall not be affected thereby. This Lease may be amended, changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the then owners of the Landlord and Tenant interests herein and, until the Loan and the Loan Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full, First Mortgagee. This Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto and, until the Loan and the Loan Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full, First Mortgagee. The headings of this Lease are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or define the meaning hereof. This Lease may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which is an original, but all of which shall constitute one instrument.
     30.3 This is governed by and shall be construed according to the laws of the state in which the Property is located.
