Notwithstanding the assignment of the Master Lease pursuant to the Assignment, and whether any Rent under the Master Lease is attributable to the period prior to or subsequent to the date hereof, Subtenant will pay to the Indenture Trustee (as assignee of the Master Landlord) on the Rent Payment Date next succeeding the date hereof all Base Rent due on such date as well as any Supplemental Rent, other than Excluded Amounts (as defined in the Participation Agreement) and other indemnity payments owing to the Master Landlord or the Sublandlord under the Master Lease (which amounts shall be paid by Subtenant to the party entitled thereto).

Other than as described in the immediately preceding sentence, there shall be no abatement of, deduction from, counterclaim or setoff against Sublease Rent. 8. SECURITY DEPOSIT. A. Generally. On the later of (x) the Reimbursement Agreement Termination Date and (y) fifteen (15) days following the date on which Subtenant shall not maintain a Credit Rating of at least Investment Grade from the Rating Agencies, and at all times thereafter during the Sublease Term (other than if at such time Subtenant shall maintain a Credit Rating of at least Investment Grade), Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord a Letter of Credit as security for the full and punctual performance by Subtenant of all of the terms of this Sublease. If a Letter of Credit is delivered pursuant to this Paragraph 8 and thereafter Subtenant's Credit Rating is increased to at least Investment Grade, Sublandlord shall promptly return to Subtenant such Letter of Credit, provided that if thereafter there is a downgrade in Subtenant's Credit Rating such that it is not then at least Investment Grade, Subtenant shall deliver a Letter of Credit complying with this Paragraph 8 within fifteen (15) days of such downgrade. If Sublandlord shall be entitled to draw the Letter of Credit in whole or in part pursuant to Paragraph 8.B or 8.D below, Sublandlord shall have the right, at its option, either to deposit the cash proceeds of any such draw upon the Letter of Credit into a cash collateral account (the "CASH COLLATERAL ACCOUNT") established in Sublandlord's name and maintained by Sublandlord or to apply the proceeds to the obligations of Subtenant due hereunder. The Cash Collateral Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Sublandlord and Sublandlord shall have the sole right, upon an Event of Default, to make withdrawals from the Cash Collateral Account and to exercise all rights with respect to the amounts deposited in the Cash Collateral Account. It is understood and agreed that any payment made from the proceeds of the Letter of Credit is deemed to be a payment under this Sublease. The Required Amount shall be determined as follows: within ten (10) days of the date on which Subtenant shall be required pursuant to Paragraph 8 of this Sublease to deliver a Letter of Credit to Sublandlord and at least ten (10) days prior to each June 30 and December 30 thereafter (each, a "DETERMINATION DATE"), Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord a budget that sets forth Subtenant's calculation of the Sublease Base Rent and Sublease Supplemental Rent that will become payable during the eighteen (18) months commencing on the next succeeding Rent Payment Date (the "REQUIRED AMOUNT"). In order to eliminate ambiguity, each budget shall include the Sublease Base Rent that will become due on the three Rent Payment Dates immediately succeeding the date on which such budget is required to be delivered to Sublandlord. Within five (5) days of its receipt of the proposed budget from Subtenant, Sublandlord shall deliver written notice approving or disapproving the amount concluded to be the Required Amount. In the event of any dispute as to the Supplemental Rent portion of the Required Amount, such dispute shall be resolved by either, at Sublandlord's election, an accounting firm that regularly audits the books and records of Subtenant or an independent arbitrator appointed by the American Arbitration Association in Chicago, Illinois. Pending the resolution of such dispute, the Letter of Credit shall be in the Required Amount that was applicable in the prior period, except for an adjustment upwards, if any, for an increase in Sublease Base Rent. B. Letter of Credit Requirement. The initial Letter of Credit and any replacement Letter of Credit issued in accordance with Paragraph 8.A shall satisfy the requirements set forth in this Paragraph 10 8. Each Letter of Credit shall be a clean, irrevocable and unconditional letter of credit issued by and drawable upon any commercial bank or financial institution which has a Credit Rating of at least A by S&P and A2 by Moody's (the "ISSUING BANK") at the time of issuance of the applicable Letter of Credit and Subtenant's reimbursement obligations relating to any Letter of Credit shall be uncollateralized. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) name Sublandlord as beneficiary, (ii) be initially in the amount of the Required Amount, (iii) have a term of not less than one (1) year, (iv) permit multiple drawings, (v) be fully transferable (including by way of collateral assignment) by Sublandlord (as to Sublandlord's rights) without payment by Sublandlord of any fees or charges, and (vi) otherwise be in form and content satisfactory to Sublandlord in its reasonable discretion. Regardless of the initial expiration date of any Letter of Credit, each Letter of Credit shall expressly provide that (unless notice of non-renewal is delivered in accordance with the following sentence) it shall be deemed automatically renewed, without amendment, for consecutive periods after such expiration date of one year each during the Sublease Term through the date that is at least one hundred eighty (180) days after the Sublease Expiration Date. If the Issuing Bank desires not to renew a Letter of Credit, it shall deliver a notice (the "NON-RENEWAL NOTICE") to Sublandlord by certified mail, return receipt requested, not less than sixty (60) days prior to the then-current expiration date of the Letter of Credit, stating that the Issuing Bank has elected not to renew the Letter of Credit. If (a) the Issuing Bank delivers a Non-Renewal Notice, (b) for any other reason the Letter of Credit would expire by its terms in sixty (60) days or less from such date or (c) the Issuing Bank is downgraded so that it no longer satisfies the rating requirements set forth in this Paragraph 8 (each of the events described in clauses (a), (b) or (c), an "L/C TERMINATION EVENT"), Sublandlord shall have the right in the event that Subtenant has not caused such Letter of Credit to be replaced within fifteen (15) Business Days of Subtenant's Actual Knowledge of such L/C Termination Event, at its option, to draw the full amount of the Letter of Credit, by sight draft on the Issuing Bank, and thereafter hold the proceeds in the Cash Collateral Account and apply them pursuant to the terms of this Paragraph 8. Each Letter of Credit shall be governed by the International Standby Practices-ISP98 or Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credit, 1994 Revision ICC Publication No. 500 ("UCP 500") or any amendment or revisions thereto or any standard set of practices replacing ISP98 or UCP 500. C. Restoration of Required Amount. Within ten (10) days following any draw under the Letter of Credit, Subtenant shall cause the face value of the Letter of Credit to be increased to an amount at least equal to the Required Amount (or in the alternative, cause (x) a replacement letter of credit to be issued in the Required Amount or (y) an additional letter of credit to be issued which, when aggregated with the existing letter of credit equals the Required Amount). In the event Subtenant fails to timely increase the face amount of the Letter of Credit required (or fails to cause either the issuance of a replacement letter of credit in the Required Amount or an additional letter of credit which when aggregated with the existing letter of credit equals the Required Amount), such failure shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder, and, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Sublandlord for Subtenant's default, Sublandlord shall have the right to draw the full amount of the Letter of Credit, by sight draft on the Issuing Bank, and shall thereafter hold in the Cash Collateral Account or apply the cash proceeds of the Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms of this Paragraph 8. In the event the Sublandlord draws upon the Letter of Credit as provided in this Paragraph 8 and retains excess proceeds of such draw in the Cash Collateral Account, Subtenant shall only be required to cause the face value of the Letter of Credit to be restored to an amount equal to the Required Amount less the amount of excess proceeds which Sublandlord has deposited in the Cash Collateral Account. D. Terms Upon Which Sublandlord is Entitled to Draw Upon Letter of Credit. In addition to the draw of the Letter of Credit permitted pursuant to Paragraph 8.B above, if an Event of Default occurs under this Sublease, Sublandlord may draw the default amount or, only in the event the Sublandlord is then exercising remedies under this Sublease, the full amount of the Letter of Credit, by sight draft on the Issuing Bank, and thereupon receive all or a portion of the face amount of the Letter of Credit, as the case may be, and, in connection with the exercise of remedies under this Sublease, use, apply or retain the whole or any part of such proceeds, as the case may be, to the extent required for the payment of any Sublease Base Rent, Sublease Supplemental Rent or other amounts due or to become due hereunder or for any reasonable sum which Sublandlord may expend or may be required to expend by reason of Subtenant's default in respect of any of the terms of this Sublease, including any damages or deficiency in the re-letting of the Sublease Premises, whether accruing before or after summary proceedings or 11 other re-entry by Sublandlord. In the case of every such use, application or retention, Subtenant shall, within ten (10) days following any such use, application or retention or such shorter period as may be required under the Subtenant's reimbursement agreement with the Issuing Bank, cause the face value of the Letter of Credit to be restored to the Required Amount, and Subtenant shall cause the Issuing Bank to acknowledge to Sublandlord that such restoration of the Required Amount occurred in a timely manner. In the event the Sublandlord draws upon the Letter of Credit as provided in this Paragraph 8 and retains excess proceeds of such draw in the Cash Collateral Account, Subtenant shall only be required to cause the face value of the Letter of Credit to be restored to an amount equal to the Required Amount less the amount of excess proceeds which Sublandlord has deposited in the Cash Collateral Account. In the event Sublandlord withdraws funds in the Cash Collateral Account for amounts secured by the Letter of Credit as set forth in this Paragraph 8, Subtenant shall within ten (10) days following Sublandlord's notice to Subtenant of such withdrawal, cause the face value of the Letter of Credit to be increased by the amount of funds withdrawn from the Cash Collateral Account. E. Substitution of Letter of Credit. From time to time, Subtenant may substitute the letter of credit then in effect with a substitute letter of credit meeting the requirements of this Paragraph 8 and otherwise in substantially the form of the letter of credit then in effect. F. Prepayment of Sublease Base Rent. At any time that Subtenant is required to provide a Letter of Credit pursuant to this Paragraph 8 but is unable to deliver a Letter of Credit complying with the second sentence of Paragraph 8.B. hereof (as evidenced by an officer's certificate to such effect), notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph 8, Subtenant shall have the option, in lieu of providing such Letter of Credit, and in satisfaction of all of its obligations under this Paragraph 8, to prepay Sublease Base Rent pursuant to this Paragraph 8.F. If Subtenant elects to prepay Sublease Base Rent in lieu of providing a Letter of Credit, on the first date upon which a Letter of Credit would otherwise have been required to be provided by Subtenant, Subtenant shall prepay in advance all Sublease Base Rent payable in the 12 months succeeding such date and, for so long as Subtenant is required to deliver a Letter of Credit pursuant to this Paragraph 8 on each subsequent Rent Payment Date, Subtenant shall prepay in advance all Sublease Base Rent payable in the 12 months succeeding such Rent Payment Date. By way of example, if Subtenant would otherwise have been required to provide a Letter of Credit on February 1, 2010, Subtenant shall prepay on such date an amount equal to Sublease Base Rent payable on the two Rent Payment Dates next succeeding February 1, 2010 (i.e., June 30, 2010 and December 30, 2010). G. Complete Release. In the event of a Complete Release, the Subtenant's obligations in respect of this Section 8 shall cease in all respects and Subtenant shall have no further obligations under this Section 8. 9. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Subtenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Master Landlord and Sublandlord (which consent of Sublandlord shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), sublet, assign or transfer this Sublease or any interest in the Sublease Premises or grant any license, concession or other right of occupancy of any portion of the Sublease Premises, provided that from and after a Complete Release and so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Subtenant shall have the right to (x) assign the Sublease in whole without obtaining the prior written consent of Sublandlord (provided that Subtenant shall not be released from its liability hereunder), and (y) subject to incorporated Section 14.1 of the Master Lease, Subtenant shall have the right to further sublet the Sublease Premises in whole or in part to any person without the consent of Sublandlord. A Change of Control (as defined in the Participation Agreement) involving Subtenant shall be deemed an "assignment"; provided, however, that the sale of the entire business of Subtenant shall not be deemed an assignment if (1) Subtenant has a Credit Rating from the Rating Agencies of at least Investment Grade at the time of such sale, or (2) the prospective purchaser of Subtenant has a Credit Rating of at least Investment Grade and such purchaser guaranties the obligation of Subtenant hereunder. Any request by Subtenant for consent to assign or sublease shall identify the proposed assignee and, in the case of a Sublease, the portion of the Sublease Premises to be sublet by Subtenant. 12 10. SUBTENANT'S INSURANCE OBLIGATIONS. Subtenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, obtain and maintain insurance policies as required under incorporated Section 9 of the Master Lease. Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord on or prior to the date hereof a certificate evidencing such coverages, and naming Sublandlord, Guarantor and Master Landlord as additional insureds, as their respective interest may appear. In Schedule 9.1 to the Master Lease, the phrase ", Guarantor, Sublandlord" shall be inserted immediately following the word "Landlord" in each place "Landlord" appears. 11. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Sublease to the contrary, Subtenant waives all rights to recover against Sublandlord for any loss or damage to its tangible personal or real property (whether owned or leased) from any cause covered by insurance maintained by it, including deductibles or self-insured retentions. 12. SUBTENANT'S DEFAULT. The events that constitute Events of Default by Subtenant are set forth in the incorporated Section 16.1 of the Master Lease, as incorporated herein by reference and modified as provided in Paragraph 3 above. 13. SUBLANDLORD'S REMEDIES. A. The remedies available to Sublandlord in the case of an Event of Default by Subtenant are set forth in Section 17.1 of the Master Lease, as incorporated herein by reference and modified as provided in Paragraph 3 above. Pursuit of any of the remedies stated herein by Sublandlord after an Event of Default by Subtenant shall not preclude pursuit of any other remedies provided in this Sublease or applicable law or equity, nor shall pursuit of any remedy constitute a forfeiture or waiver of any payment due to Sublandlord. No waiver by Sublandlord of any violation or breach of any provision of this Sublease shall be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any other violation or breach any provision herein contained. Forbearance by Sublandlord to enforce one or more of the remedies herein provided after an event of default by Subtenant shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any other violation or default. For the sake of clarity, Subtenant shall be obligated to pay to Sublandlord (or the Indenture Trustee or the Master Landlord as directed pursuant to Paragraph 7.C.) as Sublease Supplemental Rent the Forced Sale Amount or any other amounts payable under Section 17.1(e) of the Master Lease following an Event of Default under the Master Lease that arises as a result of an Event of Default hereunder. B. If Sublandlord, as tenant, makes any payment of Termination Value under the Master Lease, in addition to its rights under incorporated Section 17.1 of the Master Lease, Sublandlord shall be entitled to all of the proceeds arising from the sale of the Property (up to the Forced Sale Amount) as described in the penultimate paragraph of Section 17.1(e) of the Master Lease. Subtenant shall remit to Sublandlord any amounts it receives that are realized in any marketing effort contemplated by Section 17.1 of the Master Lease in excess of the Forced Sale Amount to the extent that the tenant under the Master Lease is entitled thereto. C. In the event that Subtenant becomes liable for the Forced Sale Amount as damages under this Sublease, Sublandlord shall follow Subtenant's instructions with respect to any marketing effort permitted or contemplated by such Section 17.1. Sublandlord shall remit to Subtenant any amount realized in such marketing effort in excess of the Forced Sale Amount to the extent the tenant under the Master Lease is entitled thereto. 14. INDEMNIFICATION. A. Subtenant's Indemnification under Participation Agreement. To the extent of any Claim arising during the Sublease Term, Sections 10.1 and 10.2 of the Participation Agreement are incorporated by reference in this Sublease and are applicable under this Sublease as an indemnity by Subtenant in favor of Sublandlord Indemnitees. For the avoidance of doubt, Sublandlord Indemnitees shall be deemed an "Indemnitee" and "Tax Indemnitee" for purposes of the exclusions set forth in Sections 10.1(b) and 10.2(b) of the Participation Agreement. 13 B. Subtenant's Further Indemnification. Subtenant shall indemnify, defend and hold each Sublandlord Indemnitee (hereinafter defined) harmless from and against any and all Claims arising from (i) any breach or default in the performance of any obligation to be performed by Subtenant under the terms of this Sublease; (ii) any breach or default under the Master Lease or any Operative Document during the Sublease Term caused by any act or omission of Subtenant; and (iii) any action or inaction taken by Sublandlord at the direction of Subtenant pursuant to this Sublease, including, without limitation, pursuant to Paragraphs 6, 15, 17 and 18 of this Sublease and incorporated Section 17.2 of the Master Lease. This indemnification (and the related exclusions set forth in this Paragraph 14 and in Sections 10.1(b) and 10.2(b) of the Participation Agreement) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease. "SUBLANDLORD INDEMNITEES" shall mean Sublandlord and its directors, officers and employees. The exclusions set forth in Sections 10.1(b) and 10.2(b) of the Participation Agreement are incorporated herein by reference mutatis mutandis. C. Exclusions from Sublease Indemnification. In addition to the exclusion set forth in Sections 10.1(b) and 10.2(b) of the Participation Agreement which are incorporated by reference, Subtenant shall have no obligation to indemnify the Sublandlord under Paragraphs 14.A and 14.B of this Sublease for any Claim arising from any breach, act, omission or default by Sublandlord under this Sublease. 15. CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION. A. Sublease Continues Unaffected. Section 12 (Loss; Destruction; Condemnation or Damage) of the Master Lease has been incorporated herein. If, by operation of that Section, the Master Lease is not terminated and continues in full force and effect, this Sublease shall not be terminated but shall also continue in full force and effect. No compensation or claim or reduction will be allowed to Subtenant or paid by Sublandlord by reason of inconvenience, annoyance or injury to Subtenant's business arising from a Casualty or Condemnation. In addition, incorporated Article 12 is deemed amended to reflect that the Master Landlord, as the owner of the Property, has certain rights and duties that exist by reason of such ownership interest, and therefore, Sublandlord's obligations can only be to act as directed by Subtenant; specifically, references to "Landlord" in the first sentence of clause (i) and in clause (ii) of Section 12.1, the last sentence of Section 12.2(a), Section 12.2(d) and (e) and Section 12.7 shall not be deemed changed to "Sublandlord." B. Event of Loss. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss, Sublandlord shall follow the written instructions of Subtenant to elect to restore the Property or to make a rejectable offer to purchase the Property as permitted by the Master Lease. Any failure by Subtenant to provide such direction to Sublandlord within fifty (50) days of the occurrence of an Event of Loss shall be deemed a direction to make a rejectable offer to purchase. In the event Sublandlord is required under the Master Lease to, or has, at the direction of Subtenant, elected to, make a rejectable offer to purchase upon an Event of Loss, Subtenant shall be deemed to have made a simultaneous identical offer to Sublandlord, and at the closing of such purchase, upon payment by Subtenant of all amounts due in connection therewith under the Master Lease, Sublandlord will convey, or direct Master Landlord to convey, the Sublease Premises to Subtenant (and Subtenant shall have a right to receive any Net Proceeds arising from such Event of Loss). For the avoidance of doubt, if Master Landlord rejects Sublandlord's rejectable offer made pursuant to incorporated Section 12 of the Master Lease and the Master Lease terminates, this Sublease will terminate simultaneously. In the event that Sublandlord makes any payment of SLV Amount under the Master Lease, in addition to its rights under incorporated Section 17.1 of the Master Lease, Sublandlord shall be entitled to all of the Net Proceeds arising from such Event of Loss. C. Net Proceeds. Each of Sublandlord and Subtenant shall pay to the Master Landlord or the Indenture Trustee (if required by the Lease) any proceeds it receives in connection with a Casualty or Condemnation to be applied as required by incorporated Section 12.2. Sublandlord shall remit to Subtenant any insurance proceeds it receives to be used by Subtenant in its restoration of the Sublease Premises. Incorporated Sections 12.2(g) and 12.3 shall be modified to provide that any Net Condemnation Proceeds payable to Master Landlord shall be unaffected by this Sublease but the portion of Net Condemnation Proceeds payable to Sublandlord under such section shall be divided between 14 Sublandlord and Subtenant in proportion to their relative interests, and Sublandlord shall pay to Subtenant any such portion. D. Negotiations. Incorporated Section 12.5 is modified as follows: if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and at Sublandlord's option, Sublandlord may retain control over any negotiation or settlement proceedings for proceeds relating to any Casualty or Condemnation. E. Investment. Incorporated Section 12.7 is modified as follows: if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and at Sublandlord's option, Sublandlord may direct the investment of amounts held by the Master Landlord or the Indenture Trustee. 16. OPERATIVE DOCUMENTS. Subtenant, as the original "Tenant" in the Participation Agreement and the other Operative Document, shall continue, at its sole cost and expense, to comply at all times with the Participation Agreement and such other Operative Documents. Prior to entering into this Sublease, Subtenant, as the original "Tenant", assigned to Sublandlord its right, title and interest under the Master Lease and the SNDA, but not the other Operative Documents. The obligations of Subtenant under the Operative Documents shall continue unaffected notwithstanding the assignment of the Master Lease by Subtenant to Sublandlord. Subtenant agrees to promptly send to Sublandlord a copy of any notice it sends to or receives from any other party to any Operative Document. 17. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL; EXTENSION OPTION; RIGHT TO TERMINATE. A. Right of First Refusal. Pursuant to Section 4.1 (Right of First Refusal) of the Master Lease, under certain circumstances, Sublandlord has the right of first refusal with respect to any proposed transfer by the Master Landlord or the Owner Participant. Such Section 4.1 has not been incorporated herein. In the event that Master Landlord delivers to Sublandlord the First Refusal Notice, as described in Section 4.1 of the Master Lease, Sublandlord shall promptly (but no later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of the First Refusal Notice) forward a copy of the First Refusal Notice to Subtenant. If Subtenant intends to exercise the Right of First Refusal, Subtenant shall promptly (but in no event less than five (5) Business Days prior to the expiration of the Right of First Refusal Period) notify Sublandlord of such intention. Sublandlord shall be required to exercise the Right of First Refusal set forth in Section 4.1 of the Master Lease, at the direction of, and for the benefit of, Subtenant only if (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, and (ii) either (a) a Complete Release shall have occurred, or (b) an amount necessary to consummate the closing of the purchase pursuant to the First Refusal Notice shall have been deposited with a third-party escrowee reasonably acceptable to Sublandlord, and Subtenant shall have provided to Sublandlord evidence satisfactory to Sublandlord that any other conditions precedent to the closing of such purchase (including without limitation the prepayment in full of the Indenture Notes) shall have been or will be complied with by Subtenant. If the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence are satisfied, Sublandlord shall designate Subtenant as "purchaser" as contemplated and permitted by Section 4.1 of the Master Lease. The acquisition of the Property shall be completed pursuant to Article 22 of the Master Lease. In the event that Subtenant elects not to exercise the Right of First Refusal, Sublandlord shall have such Right of First Refusal, provided, however, if Sublandlord elects to exercise such right, Subtenant's occupation of the Premises shall not be disturbed. For the avoidance of doubt, Subtenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that neither Subtenant nor any Affiliate of Subtenant shall be entitled to make an initial offer to purchase the Property or the Beneficial Interest as contemplated by Section 4.1 of the Master Lease, and shall only have the rights provided in this Section in connection with an offer made to the Owner Participant or the Master Landlord by a Person other than Subtenant or an Affiliate of Subtenant. B. Extension Option. Pursuant to Section 5.1 (Extension Options) of the Master Lease, Sublandlord has the right to extend the term of the Master Lease for four (4) additional terms of five (5) years each (the initial two (2) terms are at fixed rental rates and two (2) terms are at fair market rental rates). Such Section 5.1 has not been incorporated herein. Provided that Subtenant shall have procured a binding commitment from the Master Landlord to agree to a Complete Release of Sublandlord and the Guarantor, such commitment to be in form and substance satisfactory to Sublandlord and the Guarantor, Subtenant shall have the right to direct Sublandlord to extend the Master Lease as permitted by such 15 Section 5.1 as a direct lease between Master Landlord and Subtenant. Sublandlord agrees that if it elects to extend the term of the Master Lease, Subtenant shall have the concurrent right to renew the Sublease Term. C. Uneconomic Property Determination. Pursuant to Section 21.1 (Early Termination) of the Master Lease, after December 30, 2007, Sublandlord has the right to terminate the Master Lease on a determination that the Property is an Uneconomic Property. Such Section 21.1 has not been incorporated herein. Sublandlord agrees that, as set forth below, Subtenant shall have the right to direct Sublandlord to exercise such right to terminate the Master Lease pursuant to this Paragraph 17.C. If Subtenant desires to exercise this right to terminate the Master Lease, Subtenant shall provide prompt notice to Sublandlord of such desire, accompanied by an irrevocable, rejectable offer in writing to purchase the Property from the Master Landlord on the terms set forth in Section 21.1 of the Master Lease and shall deliver to Sublandlord resolutions duly adopted by the Board of Directors of Subtenant determining in good faith that the Property is an Uneconomic Property. Sublandlord shall then deliver the Master Landlord an irrevocable, rejectable offer in writing to purchase the Property on the terms set forth in Section 21.1 of the Master Lease. Sublandlord shall only be required to commence the procedure set forth in Section 21.1 of the Master Lease if (i) either (a) a Complete Release shall have occurred, or (b) (x) an amount necessary to consummate the closing of the purchase pursuant to the rejectable offer required to be made pursuant to Section 21.1 shall have been deposited with a third-party escrowee reasonably acceptable to Sublandlord, (y) no Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, and (z) Subtenant shall have provided to Sublandlord evidence satisfactory to Sublandlord that any other conditions to closing set forth in the Operative Documents shall have been or will be complied with by Subtenant. If Master Landlord accepts (or is deemed to accept) Sublandlord's offer to purchase, Sublandlord agrees to follow Subtenant's direction in the exercise of Sublandlord's right to terminate pursuant to Section 21.1. The Subtenant hereby notifies the Sublandlord that if Master Landlord accepts (or is deemed to accept) Sublandlord's offer to purchase the Property, Subtenant is hereby electing to cause the Property to be marketed in accordance with Section 22 of the Master Lease provided, however that Sublandlord may not market the Property to the Subtenant or any of its Affiliates nor may Subtenant or any of its Affiliates bid on the Property. On any termination of the Master Lease pursuant to such Section 21.1, this Sublease shall simultaneously terminate. Sublandlord shall not be permitted to exercise its termination rights under Section 21.1 of the Master Lease unless such exercise is at the direction of the Subtenant and is in accordance with this Paragraph 17.C. D. Master Lease Assignment. If a Complete Release shall have occurred, at Subtenant's request, subject to the terms of the Operative Documents, Sublandlord will assign the Master Lease to Subtenant or another affiliate designated by Subtenant and terminate this Sublease; provided that Subtenant shall remain liable for any liabilities incurred under the Sublease prior to the time of such assignment. Sublandlord shall, as soon as practicable, execute such documents reasonably requested by Subtenant as may be necessary to effectuate such assignment. 18. ADDITIONAL PROPERTY; EASEMENTS. A. Pursuant to Section 10.2 (Separation from Additional Property), Article 24 (Adjacent Property), other than Section 24.6 (Expansions), Section 24.7 (Construction Obligations) (to the extent such sections relate to the Additional Property) and Article 25 (Easements, Zoning and Approvals) (to the extent such sections relate to the Additional Property) of the Master Lease and Section 5.13 of the Participation Agreement (Additional Property Use Restriction) (collectively, the "Additional Property Provisions"), Subtenant, as the original tenant under the Master Lease, has certain rights and obligations relating to certain land it owned (and continues to own) that is adjacent to but not part of the Sublease Premises. In addition, Section 24.6 (Expansions) of the Master Lease governs the rights and obligations of the Master Landlord and Sublandlord with respect to any expansion to the improvements that are part of the Sublease Premises. Finally, Article 25 (Easements, Zoning and Approvals) provides for certain rights and restrictions relating to the use of the Sublease Premises as well as the Additional Property. Notwithstanding that the Additional Property Provisions have been assigned by Subtenant to Sublandlord pursuant to the Assignment, Sublandlord acknowledges 16 that Subtenant alone has an interest in the Additional Property and any future potential development thereof. In addition, Subtenant acknowledges that Sublandlord does not own the Sublease Premises and is therefore incapable of performing the obligations of "Landlord" under the Additional Property Provisions. Notwithstanding that the Additional Property Provisions have not been incorporated by reference, Subtenant agrees to perform and satisfy all of the obligations of "Tenant" or the "owner of the Additional Land" and agrees to pay the out of pocket costs and expenses of Sublandlord (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) in connection with any of the Additional Property Provisions. B. Sublandlord agrees to reasonably cooperate with Subtenant in causing the Master Landlord to grant easements or take any of the other actions referred to in clauses (i) through (iv) of Section 25.1(a) of the Master Lease, provided that Subtenant shall have otherwise satisfied all the conditions to performance by the Master Landlord set forth in such section. C. Sublandlord agrees that Subtenant may deal directly with the Master Landlord regarding the Additional Property Provisions and Article 25 of the Master Lease, provided that in the event the Master Landlord refuses to deal directly with Subtenant, Sublandlord shall act as Subtenant's agent in order to cause the Master Landlord to perform its obligations under the Additional Property Provisions and Article 25 of the Master Lease and agrees to otherwise assist Subtenant in realizing the full benefit of the Additional Property Provisions and Article 25 of the Master Lease. D. Without detracting from the generality of the foregoing Paragraphs 18.A, 18.B and 18.C, the parties agree as follow: 1. Subtenant, and not Sublandlord, exclusively has the right to initiate a subdivision pursuant to Section 24.2 of the Master Lease; 2. in exercising any rights under Articles 24 and 25 of the Master Lease, including without limitation, Section 24.4 of the Master Lease (Reciprocal Easement Agreement), incorporated Sections 25.1(b)(i) (Grant of Easements), and 25.2 (Approvals), to the extent the "tenant" under the Master Lease is obligated to pay costs and expenses thereunder, Subtenant agrees to pay the costs of the Master Landlord and the Sublandlord (as well as any other Person identified in such sections); 3. Subtenant agrees, at the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease, to (A) cause the Improvements to be separated from any improvements located on the Additional Property and perform the other obligations described in clauses (ii) through (v) of such Section 10.2 of the Master Lease, and (B) remove the electric utility lines and appurtenant facilities and the Bridge as required by (x) Sections 10.2 (Separation from Additional Property) and 24.4 (Power Plant) and (y) 24.5 (Construction of Bridge), respectively; 4. incorporated Section 24.7 of the Master Lease is modified (A) to change the word "Guarantor" in clause (g)(iii) to the word "Subtenant" and (B) include both Sublandlord and the Master Landlord in clauses (n) and (o) in each place "Landlord" appears; 5. incorporated Section 25.1(b)(ix) (Grant of Easements) is modified by not changing "Landlord" therein to be "Sublandlord"; 6. to the extent that Landlord's consent is required in connection with any proposed action by tenant under the Master Lease pursuant to Articles 24 and 25, to the extent that the Master Landlord shall have consented, Sublandlord shall be deemed to have also consented (other than if, as a result of such consent (or the action to which the consent relates), the liability of the Guarantor or Sublandlord shall in any way be increased); 17 7. Sublandlord shall not grant any consent under Section 25.3 (Landlord Covenant to Not Grant Contracts and Easements), without first obtaining the prior written consent of Subtenant (which Subtenant may withhold in its reasonable discretion); 8. Sublandlord shall not grant any consent under Section 25.4 (Covenant to Not Affect Zoning), without first obtaining the prior written consent of Subtenant (which Subtenant may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion); 9. without detracting from the generality of Paragraph 3.B(iv) of this Sublease, copies of any notices, certificates and other submissions by Subtenant pursuant to any Additional Property Provision or Article 24 or 25 of the Master Lease generally, including supporting materials such as surveys, governmental approvals, etc., shall be sent to the Master Landlord and Sublandlord (as well as any other parties described in such sections); and 10. any performance bond required by incorporated Section 24.7 of the Master Lease shall be (x) assignable by Sublandlord, and (y) delivered to Sublandlord unless Sublandlord is required to deliver a performance bond to the Master Landlord. 19. NOTICES. All notices and demands which may or are to be required or permitted to be given in accordance with Section 26.3 of the Master Lease and this Sublease shall be addressed to Subtenant at the address indicated in Paragraph 1.X above or to Sublandlord at the address indicated in Paragraph 1.P above or to such other place as Subtenant or Sublandlord may from time to time designate in a written notice to the other party. 20. AMENDMENTS. No agreement hereafter made shall be effective to change, amend, supplement or modify this Sublease, in whole or in part, unless such agreement is in writing and signed by both parties hereto, nor shall any custom, practice or course of dealing between the parties in the administration of the terms hereof be construed to waive or lessen the right of any party to insist upon the performance by the other party in strict accordance with the terms of this Sublease. 21. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. It is expressly agreed by Sublandlord and Subtenant, as a material consideration for the execution of this Sublease, that there are and were no representations, understandings, stipulations, agreements or promises pertaining thereto not incorporated in writing herein. 22. BINDING EFFECT. The provisions of this Sublease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Sublandlord and Subtenant, respectively, and to their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, subject to any contrary provisions herein. 23. BROKERS. Subtenant and Sublandlord warrant that they know of no real estate broker or agent who is entitled to a commission in connection with this Sublease. Each of Subtenant and Sublandlord shall indemnify, defend and hold the other harmless from and against all liabilities arising from any other claims of brokerage commissions or finder's fees based on any dealings or contacts by Subtenant or Sublandlord, in respect of the Sublease Premises, respectively, with any brokers or agents. 24.

RECITALS A. WHEREAS, Landlord has acquired the Property (which is more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof) from Tenant; and B. WHEREAS, Landlord desires to lease to Tenant, and Tenant desires to lease from Landlord, the Property. TERMS NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: ARTICLE 1 DEFINITIONS Section 1.1 Definitions. The capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned thereto in Appendix A to the Participation Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, among the Landlord, the Tenant and certain other parties. The interpretation provisions of such Appendix A shall apply to this Lease including the terms used herein. ARTICLE 2 LEASE OF PROPERTY Section 2.1 Demise and Lease. (a) Landlord hereby demises and leases the Property to Tenant, and Tenant does hereby rent and lease the Property from Landlord, for the Base Term and, subject to the exercise by Tenant of its renewal options as provided in Article 5 hereof, for the Extension Terms, in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. (b) Tenant may from time to time own or hold under lease or license from Persons other than Landlord removable furniture, equipment and personal property, including Tenant's Equipment and Personalty, located on or about the Property, which shall not be subject to this Lease. Landlord shall from time to time, upon the reasonable request of Tenant, promptly acknowledge in writing to Tenant or other Persons that Landlord does not own or, except as provided in Article 10, have any other right or interest in or to such removable furniture, equipment and personal property, including Tenant's Equipment and Personalty. Landlord hereby expressly waives any right, title or interest in and to Tenant's Equipment and Personalty and any right that Landlord may have, whether by contract, at law or in equity or otherwise, whether now existing or arising hereafter, to place or enforce a Lien on or exercise any distraint rights with respect to Tenant's Equipment and Personalty. ARTICLE 3 RENT Section 3.1 Base Rent or Extension Rent. (a) Tenant shall pay to Landlord Base Rent on each Rent Payment Date during the Base Term in the installment amount set forth under the column "Base Rent Payment" corresponding to each Rent Payment Date, as set forth on Schedule 3.1(a) attached hereto and incorporated herein and shall pay to Landlord Extension Rent on each Rent Payment Date during any Extension Term as prescribed by Article 5. Each installment of Base Rent or Extension Rent is payable semiannually in arrears and in the manner set forth in Section 3.3. (b) The Base Rent allocated to each Rent Payment Period for the use by Tenant of the Property shall be the amount set forth in Schedule 3.1(b) hereof (the "Allocated Rent"). Notwithstanding that Base Rent is payable in accordance with Section 3.1(a) hereof and without limiting Tenant's payment obligations under Section 3.1(a), the Allocated Rent allocable pursuant to this Section 3.1(b) shall represent and be the amount of Base Rent for which Tenant becomes liable on account of the use of the Property for each calendar year included in whole or in part of the Base Term. (c) It is the intention of Landlord and Tenant that the allocation of Base Rent to each Rent Payment Period as provided in Section 3.1(b) constitutes a specific allocation of fixed rent within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.467-1(c)(2)(ii)(A) with the effect that Landlord and Tenant, on any federal income tax returns filed by them (or, on any income tax returns on which their income is included), shall accrue the amounts of rental income and rental expense, respectively, set forth for each Rent Payment Period in the amount set forth in Schedule 3.1(b) under the caption "Proportional Rent" (the "Proportional Rent"). Because there shall be from time to time a difference between (i) the cumulative amount of Base Rent paid by Tenant pursuant to Section 3.1(a) and (ii) the cumulative amount of Base Rent allocated pursuant to Section 3.1(b), there shall be considered to exist a loan for purposes of 467 of the Code, the amount of which is as set forth on Schedule 1(A) hereto under the caption "Section 467 Loan Balance". (the "Section 467 Loan Balance"). In addition, (i) if, with respect to any Rent Payment Period, the amount set forth for such Rent Payment Period under the caption "Section 467 Interest" is positive ("Landlord Section 467 Loan Balance"), Landlord shall deduct interest expense and Tenant shall accrue interest income with respect to such period in an amount set forth under the caption "Section 467 Interest" ("Landlord Section 467 Interest") and (ii) if, with respect to any Rent Payment Period, the amount set forth for such Rent Payment Period under the caption "Section 467 Interest" is negative ("Tenant Section 467 Loan Balance"), Landlord shall accrue interest income and Tenant shall deduct interest expense with respect to such period in an amount equal to the "Section 467 Interest" ("Tenant Section 467 Interest"). All Section 467 Loan principal and interest is already included as part of Base Rent, Termination Values and Stipulated Loss Values, is payable as a portion thereof, and has been taken into account in the 2 calculation of the amount set forth under the heading "Base Rent Payment" on Schedule 3.1(a) hereto, under the beading "Stipulated Loss Value" on Schedule 12.1 hereto and under the heading "Termination Value" on Schedule 21.1 hereto. In no event shall any principal or interest on any Section 467 Loan be separately payable (including upon any termination or rejection of this Lease, whether in connection with an Event of Default, any proceeding in the nature of bankruptcy or otherwise, and regardless of whether or not Termination Value or Stipulated Loss Value shall be payable in connection with any such termination), it being agreed and understood that these items represent characterizations for Federal income tax purposes only, including in the case of any termination of this Lease pursuant to Articles 12, 17 and 21 where Termination Value or Stipulated Loss Value is not payable and are integral terms of the Lease and not separable in any manner in connection with any such event or proceeding. (d) Anything herein or in any other Operative Document to the contrary notwithstanding, Base Rent payable on any Rent Payment Date, whether or not adjusted in accordance with Section 13.2 of the Participation Agreement, shall, in the aggregate, be in an amount at least sufficient to pay in full principal and interest payable on the Indenture Notes on such Rent Payment Date. Anything herein or in any other Operative Document to the contrary notwithstanding, Termination Values and Stipulated Loss Values payable on any date under this Lease, whether or not adjusted in accordance with Section 13.2 of the Participation Agreement, shall, in the aggregate, together with all other Rent due and owing on such date, exclusive of any portion thereof that is an Excluded Amount, be in an amount at least sufficient to pay in full the principal of and accrued interest on the Indenture Notes payable on such date. Section 3.2 Supplemental Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, or to such other Person as shall be entitled thereto in the manner contemplated herein or in any other Operative Document or as otherwise required by Landlord, any and all Supplemental Rent as the same shall become due and payable. In the event of Tenant's failure to pay when due and payable any Supplemental Rent, Landlord shall have all rights, powers and remedies provided for herein or by law or in equity or otherwise in the case of nonpayment of Rent. In addition, in the event Tenant fails to pay or discharge any Supplemental Rent or any other cost, fee, discharge, expense, reimbursement or obligation relating to the Property which it is obligated to pay or discharge, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, pay the same, and in that event Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord therefore and pay the same, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate computed from the date of payment of such cost, expense or otherwise to the date of reimbursement, and such payment shall be deemed to be Supplemental Rent. Section 3.3 Method of Payment. All Rent (other than Excluded Amounts) payable by Tenant hereunder shall be paid to Landlord or to such other person or persons as may be designated by not less than five (5) Business Days' advance written notice from Landlord to Tenant, from time to time, and shall be paid in Immediately Available Funds no later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the scheduled date when such payment shall be due, unless such scheduled date shall not be a Business Day, in which case such payment shall be made at such time on the immediately preceding Business Day, with the same force and effect as though made 3 on such scheduled dates; provided, however, that so long as the Lien of the Indenture has not been discharged in accordance with Section 3 thereof, Landlord hereby irrevocably directs (it being agreed and understood that such direction shall be deemed to have been revoked after the Lien of the Indenture shall have been fully discharged in accordance with Section 3 thereof), and Tenant agrees, that all payments of Rent (other than Excluded Amounts) payable to the Landlord shall be paid in the same manner as it would be paid to Landlord except it shall be paid directly to the Indenture Trustee for distribution in accordance with the Indenture at such account as is set forth in Schedule A to the Participation Agreement or such other place in the United States as the Indenture Trustee may specify in writing from time to time thereafter (such writing to be delivered not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the due date for the next payment of Rent and to be effective until subsequent written notice, the "Indenture Trustee's Account"). Payments constituting Excluded Amounts shall be made to the Person entitled thereto at its Address, or to such other place as such Person shall notify the Tenant in writing (such writing to be delivered not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the due date for the next such payment and to be effective until subsequent written notice). Section 3.4 Late Payment. If any payment of any Base Rent, Extension Rent or Supplemental Rent shall not be paid when due, Tenant shall pay as Supplemental Rent interest thereon from the date such payment became due and payable to the date of receipt thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. If any Base Rent, Extension Rent or Supplemental Rent shall be paid on the date when due, but after 12:00 noon, New York City time, interest shall be payable as aforesaid at the Default Rate. Section 3.5 Net Lease. IT IS THE INTENTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT THE OBLIGATIONS OF TENANT HEREUNDER SHALL BE SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS, AND THAT BASE RENT, EXTENSION RENT, SUPPLEMENTAL 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 AN EXPRESS PROVISION OF THIS LEASE.

TENANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT ACCEPTS FULL RISK OF ITS BEING UNABLE TO OCCUPY THE PROPERTY, BY VIRTUE OF EVENT OF LOSS, EARLY TERMINATION OR EVENT OF DEFAULT, OR BY ANY OTHER REASON, DESPITE HAVING PAID BASE RENT, EXTENSION RENT OR SUPPLEMENTAL RENT FOR SUCH PERIOD. THIS LEASE SHALL NOT TERMINATE AND TENANT SHALL 4 NOT HAVE ANY RIGHTS TO TERMINATE THIS LEASE, DURING THE BASE TERM OR ANY EXTENSION TERMS (EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN SECTION 12.1 AND ARTICLE 21).

TENANT WAIVES ALL RIGHTS WHICH ARE NOT EXPRESSLY STATED HEREIN BUT WHICH MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER OTHERWISE BE CONFERRED BY APPLICABLE LAWS (I) TO QUIT, TERMINATE OR SURRENDER THIS LEASE OR THE PROPERTY; (II) TO HAVE ANY SETOFF, COUNTERCLAIM, RECOUPMENT, ABATEMENT, SUSPENSION, DEFERMENT, DIMINUTION, DEDUCTION, REDUCTION OR DEFENSE OF OR TO BASE RENT, EXTENSION RENT, SUPPLEMENTAL RENT, OR ANY OTHER SUMS PAYABLE UNDER THIS LEASE, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN; AND (III) TO HAVE ANY STATUTORY LIEN OR OFFSET RIGHT AGAINST LANDLORD OR ITS PROPERTY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, TENANT SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO ENFORCE ITS RIGHTS UNDER SECTION 26.2 HEREOF AND SECTION Il OF THE PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT. Section 3.6 True Lease. It is the intent of Landlord and Tenant and the parties agree that the Lease for federal income tax purposes is a true lease and that the Lease does not represent a financing agreement. Each party shall reflect the transaction represented hereby in all applicable books, records and report (including income tax filings) in a manner consistent with "true lease" treatment rather than "financing" treatment, except to the extent that a party is required to take a different position by a Governmental Authority or U.S. GAAP with respect to Tenant's presentation and preparation of its unconsolidated financial statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be construed as conveying to Tenant any right, title or interest in or to the Improvements except as lessee only. Landlord shall take no action which would cause this Lease to be treated as other than an operating lease under GAAP for Tenant's accounting purposes. 6 ARTICLE 4 RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL Section 4.1 Right of First Refusal. Provided that no Material Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in the event that Landlord or the Owner Participant, as the case may be, receives and desires to accept an offer from any Person other than an Affiliate of Landlord or an Affiliate of the Owner Participant or an Affiliate of the OP Guarantor for the purchase of (i) the Property or (ii) the Beneficial Interest, the Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a notice (the "First Refusal Notice") setting forth each of the material terms of the proposed transaction, including, without limitation, the sales price, the closing date and the down payment amount, if any, and the other material terms for payment of the sales price. Tenant shall, for thirty (30) days commencing upon receipt of a First Refusal Notice (the "Right of First Refusal Period"), have the exclusive right to purchase (or designate a purchaser of) the Property or the Beneficial Interest, as the case may be, on the terms set forth in such First Refusal Notice (the "Right of First Refusal"), by so notifying the Landlord, within the Right of First Refusal Period, whereupon Tenant shall be bound under this Lease to purchase from the Landlord, and the Landlord shall be bound under this Lease to sell to Tenant (or its designee), the Property or the Beneficial Interest, as the case may be, on such terms, within thirty (30) days of such acceptance by Tenant provided, however, (i) no transfer of the Property shall occur unless the Lien of the Indenture has been discharged in accordance with Section 3 thereof (which discharge may occur in connection with and immediately prior to any such transfer), and (ii) so long as the Lien of the Indenture shall not have been discharged in accordance with Section 3 thereof, the Tenant shall pay, in connection with any purchase of the Beneficial Interest, in addition to the terms set forth in such Right of First Refusal Notice, an amount equal to the amount required to pay in full the Indenture Notes, accrued interest thereon, the Make-Whole Premium and all other amounts due under the Indenture, calculated as of the date of the sale, to be applied to the prepayment of the Indenture Notes and the release of the Lien of the Indenture in connection therewith. On or before the closing date on such Right of First Refusal, Tenant and Landlord shall execute and deliver to each other a purchase agreement containing the terms of the offer. If Tenant fails to respond to such First Refusal Notice during the Right of First Refusal Period, Tenant shall be deemed to have elected not to purchase the Property or the Beneficial Interest. If Tenant does not elect (or is deemed not to elect) to purchase the Property or the Beneficial Interest within the Right of First Refusal Period, then Landlord may proceed with such sale on terms that are not materially more favorable than those set forth in the First Refusal Notice and at a price not less than 95% of the purchase price set forth in such First Refusal Notice. Absent the consummation of such sale within a 180-day period commencing upon the expiration of the Right of First Refusal Period, the Landlord shall be required to repeat the procedure set forth in this Section 4.1 if it still wishes to consummate such transaction. The foregoing Right of First Refusal shall, so long as no Material Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, be renewed and shall apply to every proposed purchase described herein irrespective of whether 7 Tenant shall have elected not to exercise its Right of First Refusal with respect to any prior proposed purchase or whether any prior proposed purchase shall have been consummated. Section 4.2 Non-Applicability of Section 4.1. Tenant's Right of First Refusal set forth in Section 4.1 shall (i) not apply to and shall terminate upon a conveyance or assignment to a purchaser at a foreclosure sale in connection with the foreclosure of any bona fide first mortgage encumbering the Property or transfer by deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) not apply to any transfer by Landlord or the Owner Participant if, at the time of such transfer, a Material Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) not apply in connection with a termination of this Lease or a sale of the Property pursuant to Section 12.1 or Section 21.1 or following a retention of the Property by Landlord in connection with a termination under Section 12.1 or Section 21.1, (iv) not apply in connection with a sale pursuant to Section 5.3, Section 6.2(c) or Section 6.2(d) of the Participation Agreement and (v) not apply at any time after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Section 4.3 Miscellaneous. If Tenant is the purchaser under this Article 4, then (and notwithstanding any terms of a bona fide offer to purchase received by Landlord) such purchase shall be on an "as is, where is" basis and without representations or warranties other than representations and warranties as to the absence of any Landlord's Liens, and the Tenant shall release, indemnify and hold harmless the Landlord from and against any and all claims arising from or related to the condition of the Property, including, but not limited to, claims arising under Environmental Laws, except those claims arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, or its agents or employees (excluding Tenant). Tenant's acquisition of the Property shall be completed pursuant to Article 22 of this Lease. ARTICLE 5 EXTENSION OPTIONS Section 5.1 Extension Options. (a) Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the option to extend the term of this Lease for two (2) successive terms of five (5) years each (each, a "Fixed Rate Extension Term"), with each such Fixed Rate Extension Term commencing on the date that is the day after the expiration of the Base Term or the preceding Fixed Rate Extension Term, as the case may be. (b) In order to exercise its option to extend this Lease for any Fixed Rate Extension Term or Fair Market Extension Term (as hereinafter defined) (each Fixed Rate Extension Term or Fair Market Extension Term, an "Extension Term"), the following procedure shall be followed: (i) Tenant shall give Landlord irrevocable written notice of its intent to exercise its option to extend the term of this Lease not more than 24 months prior to, but 8 not less than 18 months prior to, the expiration of the Base Term or the then current Extension Term, as the case may be, time being of the essence. (ii) The annual Extension Rent payable for the first Fixed Rate Extension Term shall be equal to one hundred two and one half percent (102.5%) of the anticipated Fair Market Rental Value at the commencement of the first Fixed Rate Extension Term determined as of the commencement date of this Lease and as set forth in Schedule 3.1(a-2). The annual Extension Rent for each Fixed Rate Extension Term thereafter shall be equal to one hundred two and one half percent (102.5%) of the annual Extension Rent for the immediately preceding Fixed Rate Extension Term. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the option to extend this Lease, after the expiration of such Fixed Rate Extension Terms, for two (2) additional and successive terms of five (5) years each (each, a "Fair Market Extension Term"), with each such Fair Market Extension Term commencing on the date that is the day after the expiration of the last Fixed Rate Extension Term or Fair Market Extension Term, as the case may be. The annual Extension Rent payable for each such Fair Market Extension Term shall be equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Extension Fair Market Rental Value, anticipated to be in effect as of the commencement date of the applicable Fair Market Extension Term. Upon receipt of Tenant's request to extend with respect to any such Fair Market Extension Term, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly commence good faith negotiations to agree upon the Extension Fair Market Rental Value. If the parties cannot agree on the Extension Fair Market Rental Value within sixty (60) days after Landlord has received Tenant's request to extend, the Extension Fair Market Rental Value shall be determined by the Appraisal Procedure. Landlord and Tenant also agree to discuss their respective view of Extension Fair Market Rental Value before Tenant sends its request option, if so requested by Tenant; each party agreeing they shall not be bound by such discussions. (c) The right of Tenant to extend the term of this Lease for any Extension Term is contingent upon there not being any Material Default or Event of Default in existence on the date of Tenant's exercise of such right or on the date that the Extension Term commences. Section 5.2 Lease Provisions Applicable During Extension. All the provisions of this Lease shall be applicable during each Extension Term except that the number of Extension Terms shall be correspondingly reduced. Without limiting the foregoing, all payments of Extension Rent during each Extension Term shall be paid on the Rent Payment Dates as set forth in Section 31(a). Section 5.3 Stipulated Loss Value and Termination Value During Extension Terms. The amounts which are payable during any Fixed Rate Extension Term in respect of Stipulated Loss Value and Termination Value shall be as set forth on Schedules 12.1 and 21.1. The amounts which are payable during any Fair Market Extension Term in respect of Stipulated Loss Value and Termination Value shall be determined on the basis of the Fair Market Sales Value of the Property as of the commencement of such Extension Term, amortized on a straight-line basis 9 over such Extension Term to the projected Fair Market Sales Value of the Property as of the expiration of such Extension Term, as such Fair Market Sales Value in each case is determined prior to the commencement of such Extension Term. ARTICLE 6 TENANT'S ACCEPTANCE OF PROPERTY, ENFORCEMENT OF WARRANTIES Section 6.1 Waivers. The Property is demised and let by Landlord "AS IS" in its present condition as of the Closing Date, subject to (a) the rights of any parties in possession thereof (other than rights, if any, granted by Landlord), (b) the state of the title thereto existing at the time the Landlord acquired title to its interest in the Property, (c) any state of facts which an accurate survey or physical inspection might show, (d) all Applicable Laws, (e) any violations of Applicable Laws which may exist at the time the Landlord acquired title to its interest in the Property and (f) the presence of any Hazardous Materials at or under the Property or at or under any property in the vicinity of the Property and any other environmental conditions. LANDLORD HAS NOT MADE NOR SHALL LANDLORD BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OR SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE ANY LIABILITY WHATSOEVER AS TO THE VALUE, HABITABILITY, COMPLIANCE WITH ANY PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS, CONDITION, DESIGN, OPERATION, LOCATION, USE, DURABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY, CONDITION OF TITLE, OR FITNESS FOR USE OF THE PROPERTY (OR ANY PART THEREOF) FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY (OR ANY PART THEREOF) AND NEITHER LANDLORD NOR ANY DESIGNEE THEREOF SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LATENT, HIDDEN, OR PATENT DEFECT THEREIN OR FOR THE FAILURE OF THE PROPERTY (OR ANY PART THEREOF) TO BE CONSTRUCTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS THEREFOR, FOR THE COMPLIANCE OF THE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE PROPERTY WITH APPLICABLE LAWS OR FOR THE FAILURE OF THE PROPERTY, OR ANY PART THEREOF, TO OTHERWISE COMPLY WITH ANY APPLICABLE LAWS. It is agreed that Tenant or an Affiliate of Tenant has occupied the Property as tenant or owner immediately prior to entering into this Lease, has inspected the Property, is satisfied with the results of its inspections of the Property and is entering into this Lease solely on the basis of the results of its own inspections and all risks incident to the matters discussed in the preceding sentences, as between the Tenant, on the one hand, and the Landlord, on the other, are to be borne by the Tenant. The provisions of this Article 6 have been negotiated and the foregoing provisions are intended to be a complete exclusion and negation of any representations or warranties by Landlord or any Affiliate thereof, express or implied, with respect to the Property, that may arise pursuant to any law now or hereafter in effect, or otherwise and specifically negating any warranties under the Uniform Commercial Code. Section 6.2 Tenant's Right to Enforce Warranties. (a) Subject to Section 6.2(b) below, Landlord hereby assigns and sets over to, and Tenant hereby accepts the assignment of all 10 of Landlord's right, title and interest, and estate in, to and under, any and all warranties, guarantees, sureties and other claims against dealers, manufacturers, vendors, contractors and subcontractors relating to the construction, improvement, equipment, maintenance and operation of the Property or any portion thereof now existing or hereafter acquired (excluding from such assignment any such warranties and claims which by their terms are not assignable by Landlord without loss of some or all of the benefits of such warranties or claims); provided, however, that Landlord shall have no obligations under, or liabilities with respect to, any such warranties and claims. (b) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and Landlord shall have notified Tenant that it is no longer permitted to continue to exercise its rights under this Section 6.2, Landlord authorizes Tenant (directly or through agents), at Tenant's expense, to assert during the Lease Term, all of Landlord's rights (if any) under any applicable warranty and any other claim that Tenant or Landlord may have against any dealer, vendor, manufacturer, contractor or subcontractor with respect to the Property or any portion thereof. (c) Landlord agrees, at Tenant's expense, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Tenant to enforce all of Tenant's rights (if any) under this Section 6.2, such rights of enforcement to be exclusive to Tenant, and Landlord will not, during the Lease Term, amend, modify or waive, or take any action under, any applicable warranty and any other claim that Tenant may have under this Section 6.2 without Tenant's prior written consent in its reasonable discretion. (d) Any amounts recovered under any warranty or claim that is the subject of this Section 6.2 shall be applied to the performance of Tenant's obligations under Section 8.2. ARTICLE 7 LIENS Section 7.1 Liens. Tenant shall not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on or with respect to any and all of the Property (or any part thereof), Landlord's title thereto or any interest therein, to this Lease or the leasehold interest created hereby, or to Rent, or any title thereto or interest of Tenant therein, or the rentals payable with respect to the subletting of the Property, except Permitted Liens. Tenant shall promptly, but not later than forty-five (45) days after Tenant has knowledge of the filing thereof, at its own expense, take such action as may be necessary duly to discharge or eliminate or bond in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord any such Lien (other than Permitted Liens). NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS LEASE SHALL BE CONSTRUED AS CONSTITUTING THE CONSENT OR REQUEST OF LANDLORD, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, TO OR FOR THE PERFORMANCE BY ANY CONTRACTOR, LABORER, MATERIALMAN, OR VENDOR OF ANY LABOR OR SERVICES OR FOR THE FURNISHING OF ANY MATERIALS FOR ANY CONSTRUCTION, ALTERATION, ADDITION, REPAIR OR DEMOLITION OF OR TO THE PROPERTY OR ANY PART 11 THEREOF, WHICH WOULD RESULT IN ANY LIABILITY OF LANDLORD FOR PAYMENT THEREOF. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT LANDLORD WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LABOR, SERVICES OR MATERIALS FURNISHED OR TO BE FURNISHED TO TENANT, OR TO ANYONE HOLDING AN INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY OR ANY PART THEREOF THROUGH OR UNDER TENANT, AND THAT NO MECHANICS OR OTHER LIENS FOR ANY SUCH LABOR, SERVICES OR MATERIALS SHALL ATTACH TO OR AFFECT THE INTEREST OF LANDLORD IN AND TO THE PROPERTY. ARTICLE 8 USE AND REPAIR Section 8.1 Use. (a) The Property may be used for any lawful purpose consistent with that of similar Class A office buildings (to the extent comprising office space), research facilities and related properties (including, without limitation, the Power Plant, utility building and child care center) within a reasonable proximity to the Property, and that does not involve (a) the operation of a public nuisance or the sale, storage (other than in the ordinary course of business for on-site use by Tenant) or dispensing of gasoline or petroleum products, including, without limitation., the providing of gasoline service or the operation of a filling station, whether wholesale or retail, to others or on its own behalf, (b) any use that would make it impossible or unreasonably expensive to obtain or would invalidate any insurance policy or would cause insurance to be available at commercially unreasonable rates with respect to the Property, provided such policy is required to be maintained hereunder, (c) any use that would violate Applicable Laws in any material respect (other than with respect to Environmental Laws as to which Section 8.5 shall apply) (d) the mining for, or removal of, any oil, gas or minerals, (e) the generation, storage, use or handling of Hazardous Material in quantities in excess of those generated, stored, used or handled by Tenant in the ordinary course of its business and in a manner consistent with its current usage or (f) the treatment or disposal of Hazardous Material other than by Tenant in the ordinary course of its business and in a manner consistent with its current usage. Landlord agrees that for so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Tenant may exercise the rights of Landlord under any property association now existing or consented to in the future by Landlord, provided (i) such action by Tenant complies with this Lease in all respects, (ii) Tenant takes no action which could result in a violation of this Lease or an adverse effect on the Property, other than to a de minimis extent, and (iii) Tenant does not encumber the Property by any Lien, subject to the provisions of Section 7.1 hereof, or execute documents on behalf of Landlord, unless such documents are permitted to be so executed in accordance with this Lease or such documents will not have, other than to a de minimis extent, an adverse effect on the Property, or Landlord's interest therein, and relate to the normal operations of the Property. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in exercising any of the rights granted to Tenant pursuant to the foregoing, Tenant shall not (x) modify any declaration, if any, giving rise to any such property association and/or the organizational documents of such property association or (y) grant any consent or approval or vote in favor of any matter the effect 12 of which results in a waiver or modification of any of the terms and provisions of any such declaration without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that copies of any of the foregoing shall be delivered to the Landlord. (b) Tenant shall be permitted at its sole and absolute discretion, upon at least sixty (60) days' prior written notice thereof to Landlord, and at any time and from time to time throughout the Term of this Lease to cease operations or "go dark" at the Property; provided, that Tenant shall not have such right at any time that a Material Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided further, that except with respect to any cessation due solely to any Casualty, Condemnation, Alteration, Expansion, the construction of any Bridge, or any repair or refurbishment, Landlord shall have the right but not the obligation to terminate this Lease and take possession of the Property at any time upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Tenant (which notice, so long as the Lien of the Indenture has not been discharged in accordance with Section 3 thereof, shall not be effective unless countersigned by the Indenture Trustee) after receipt of such written notice by Tenant to Landlord. Section 8.2 Maintenance. Tenant, at its own expense, shall at all times, (a) maintain and operate the Property in good order, operating condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear and damage by Casualty or Condemnation excepted, and in a manner consistent with the standards of operation and maintenance employed at other facilities of a similar nature owned or operated by Tenant, but in no event less than the standards of other prudent owners of similar Class A office buildings (to the extent comprising office space), research facilities and related properties within a reasonable proximity to the Property, (b) maintain and operate the Property in compliance with Applicable Laws, (c) comply with the standards imposed by any insurance policies required to be maintained hereunder which are in effect at any time with respect to the Property or any part thereof, and (d) make repairs and Alterations of the Property necessary to keep the same in the condition required by the preceding clauses (a), (b) and (c), whether interior or exterior, structural or nonstructural, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, and including, without limitation, repairs, replacements and renewals that would constitute capital expenditures under GAAP if incurred by an owner of property; provided, however, Tenant may contest any such Applicable Law in good faith and need not make any such repair or Alteration while so doing provided that (i) such contest (A) will not result in a Lien or judgment against the Property or Landlord, (B) will not subject Landlord to any civil or criminal liability, (C) will not result in the enjoinment of or interference with the use, possession or disposition of the Property in a material respect, (D) will not result in the interruption of all of any part of the Rent or Extension Rent or any other amount payable under the Operative Documents by reason of attachment or other lien, and (E) will not result in a material and adverse affect on the Fair Market Sales Value, use or remaining useful life of the Property or any portion thereof or the continued economic operation thereof, and (ii) at any time after the commencement and during the continuation of such contest that Guarantor shall not maintain a Credit Rating of at least Investment Grade from the Rating Agencies and the maximum aggregate amount of liability that could result to the Transaction Parties as a result of such contest could, if such contest were determined adversely to Tenant, exceed $100,000. Tenant shall provide to Landlord adequate 13 security in form and substance and in amounts reasonably satisfactory to Landlord (any such contest, a "Permitted Contest"). The Tenant waives any right that it may now have or hereafter acquire to (x) require the Landlord to maintain, repair, replace, alter, remove or rebuild all or any part of the Property or (y) make repairs at the expense of the Landlord. All such repairs, restorations and replacements shall be constructed and installed in a good and workmanlike manner in compliance with Applicable Laws. In carrying out its obligations under this Section 8.2, the Tenant shall not discriminate in any way in the maintenance of the Property as compared with other similar properties owned, managed or leased by the Tenant. Section 8.3 Alterations. (a) Subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 8.3, Tenant may, at its sole cost and expense, make any Alterations consistent with the use permitted by Section 8.1 pursuant to the following terms; (i) Subject to Permitted Contests, Tenant shall make all alterations, renovations, modifications or improvements to the Property required by Applicable Laws. (ii) Tenant may make any non-structural Alteration not required by Applicable Laws, the cost of which is $5,000,000 or less, without the consent of Landlord or the Indenture Trustee. (iii) Tenant may make any non-structural Alteration not required by Applicable Laws, the cost of which is more than $5,000,000, or any structural Alteration not required by Applicable Laws, in each case with the written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. (b) Tenant's right to make Alterations pursuant to clauses (a)(ii) and (a)(iii) above, whether or not consented to by Landlord, is subject to the conditions that no such Alteration shall, subject to Tenant's rights under Article 25, (i) reduce the utility, remaining useful life, or current or residual Fair Market Sales Value of the Property from that which existed prior to such Alterations, other than to a de minimis extent, or create a hazardous condition and such Alterations do not cause the Property to be characterized as "limited - use property" (as defined in Revenue Procedure 2001-28), in each case assuming that the Property is then being operated and maintained in accordance with this Article 8, (ii) violate any Applicable Law, or (iii) violate the terms and conditions of Section 8.1 hereof or any other Operative Document. Notwithstanding the requirements for notice and consent set forth above, Tenant may, in good faith, make any repairs (structural or non-structural) required by virtue of an emergency, without satisfying any otherwise applicable notice and/or consent requirement, provided Tenant notifies Landlord of such repair (to the extent otherwise required) as promptly as is reasonably practical, after the emergency and obtains the consent of Landlord in the manner required hereunder, to the repairs made, and otherwise satisfies the provisions of this Section 8.3, all as promptly as practicable. 14 (c) Every Alteration shall comply with the following additional terms (which compliance shall be at Tenant's sole cost and expense): (i) except for Alterations costing less than $5,000,000 and with respect to which good construction practice would not require such plans, the Alteration shall be made in accordance with plans prepared by a certified architect or civil engineer who shall be licensed in the appropriate jurisdiction to the extent required for the filing of any plans in connection with such Alteration (which architect shall not be an employee of Tenant or its Affiliates), and shall be completed under the supervision of such architect or engineer, or other reasonably capable person, and copies of such plans and specifications shall be delivered to Landlord at the time such plans are submitted for permit application (or if no permit is necessary, prior to construction), (ii) the structural integrity of the existing Improvements will not at any time be impaired by such work, (iii) Tenant shall procure and pay for all licenses, approvals or permits required (including final approvals) from time to time, relating to such Alteration of all municipal and other Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction of the Property, copies of which shall be delivered to Landlord, (iv) such Alterations shall not encroach upon any adjacent premises unless appropriate easements (satisfying the terms and provisions of Article 25) and consents shall have been obtained, and unless such encroachment shall not be material in nature, (v) the Tenant shall not make any such Alteration in violation of the terms of any restriction, easement, condition or covenant or other matter materially affecting title to the Property or which could materially affect title to the Property or which could materially affect the Landlord's interest in the Property, (vi) such Alterations shall be compatible with the use and maintenance of the Property, and (vii) the Tenant shall deliver to Landlord and the Indenture Trustee a certificate of an authorized officer of the Tenant certifying compliance with the terms of clauses (i) through (iii) of Section 8.3(b) and clauses (i) through (vi) of this Section 8.3(c). Landlord agrees to reasonably cooperate with Tenant (at no cost to Landlord) in signing permit applications and similar documents to the extent required for any Alteration. Tenant shall submit such applications or similar documents to Landlord to the extent Landlord's approval is required for the subject Alteration. Tenant may execute such applications or similar documents on behalf of and (if necessary) in the name of, Landlord for all Alterations for which the consent of Landlord is not required, and for Alterations for which consent of Landlord is required, has been granted or deemed granted, but Landlord does not execute such documents within twenty (20) days after Tenant's request therefor; provided, however, that as a consequence of such execution there shall be no material indemnified and no unindemnified consequences thereof to the Landlord or the Owner Participant. Tenant shall promptly furnish Landlord with copies of all documents that Tenant has signed on behalf of Landlord pursuant to this Section. Nothing herein shall be deemed to impose any liability or responsibility on Landlord for performance or payment of such Alteration. Any Claim asserted against or incurred by Landlord arising out of the foregoing shall be indemnified by Tenant pursuant to the terms of Section 10.1 of the Participation Agreement. In connection with any Alteration, Tenant shall perform and complete all work promptly and in a good and workmanlike manner in compliance with Applicable Laws and such Alterations shall be free of Liens other than Permitted Liens. Whenever Tenant is making Alterations, once commenced, Tenant shall diligently pursue the completion of such Alterations and, in any event, shall complete such Alterations within the lesser of twenty-four (24) months after commencement of such Alterations or the then remaining term of the Lease. If 15 such alterations shall not have been completed prior to the expiration of this Lease, Tenant shall be deemed to remain in possession of the Property and Section 26.16 hereof shall apply. (d) With respect to such Alterations for which Tenant must obtain the consent of Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease, Landlord shall have thirty (30) days after Tenant's delivery of its request for consent, together with preliminary drawings and specifications for such Alterations, within which Landlord may grant or deny Tenant's request for consent. If Landlord shall have not notified Tenant that such consent will be denied, such consent shall be deemed to have been granted. Section 8.4 Title to Alterations. Title to all Alterations shall remain in Landlord unless: (a) such Alteration is readily removable without causing material damage to the Property which is incapable of being repaired; and (b) such Alteration is not required for the lawful occupancy or use of the Property or otherwise required by Applicable Laws (collectively, a "Severable Alteration"). Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, at Landlord's request and at Tenant's sole cost and expense, execute and deliver any deeds or assignments reasonably requested by Landlord to evidence the vesting of title in and to any Alterations then-remaining on the Property in Landlord, free and clear of all Liens, which obligation shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. Except as otherwise provided in Article 24, in no event shall Tenant be obligated to remove any Alteration at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term or otherwise. Title to any Severable Alteration shall vest in Tenant immediately upon the installation thereof and shall not be transferred or be deemed to have transferred to Landlord prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. Any Severable Alterations and any of Tenant's Equipment and Personalty may be removed at any time during the Term by Tenant so long as removal thereof shall not result in the violation of any Applicable Law or this Lease; provided, however, Tenant shall, at its expense, repair any damage to the Property caused by the removal of any Severable Alteration or any of Tenant's Equipment and Personalty that is in excess of a de minimis amount in any individual instance or in the aggregate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to purchase any or all Severable Alterations for a price equal to the fair market value thereof at and as of the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. Tenant shall give Landlord written notice no less than 180 days prior to the expiration of the Term of the nature and anticipated fair market value of each such Severable Alteration. All Alterations that are not Severable Alterations will become part of the Property and title thereto will automatically vest in Landlord when made without compensation to Tenant and will thereupon become part of the Property subject to this Lease. 16 Section 8.5 Compliance with Law; Environmental Compliance. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall comply at all times with all Environmental Laws, whether now or hereafter in effect, subject to Permitted Contests. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall comply at all times, in all material respects, with all Applicable Laws other than Environmental Laws, whether now or hereafter in effect, subject to Permitted Contests. In all events Tenant shall indemnify Landlord from and against any cost, fine, penalty, assessment or other charge properly assessed after the Permitted Contest is either adversely decided or terminated voluntarily by Tenant or because it no longer has the right to contest pursuant to the terms of the Lease. Tenant shall notify Landlord and the Indenture Trustee promptly if (i) Tenant becomes aware of the presence, Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Material at, on, under, emanating from, or migrating to, the Property in any quantity or manner, which could reasonably be expected to violate in any material respect any Environmental Law or give rise to any material liability or the obligation to take Remedial Action or other material obligations under any Environmental Law or (ii) Tenant receives any written notice, claim, demand, request for information, or other communication from a Governmental Authority or a third party regarding the presence, Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Material at, on, under, within, emanating from, or migrating to the Property or related to the Property which could reasonably be expected to violate in any material respect any Environmental Law or give rise to any material liability or obligation to take Remedial Action or other material obligations under any Environmental Law. Section 8.6 Payment of Taxes. Tenant, in accordance with Section 10.2 of the Participation Agreement, shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes before any fine, penalty, premium, further interest (except as provided hereunder with respect to installments) or cost may be assessed or added for nonpayment, such payments to be made directly to the taxing authorities where feasible subject to Permitted Contents. If any such Tax may, at the option of the taxpayer, lawfully be paid in installments (regardless whether interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of such Tax), Tenant may exercise the option to pay the same in installments, and in such event Tenant shall pay only those installments that become due and payable during the Lease Term or relate to the Lease Term, as the same become due and before any fine, penalty, premium, further interest or cost may be assessed or added thereto. Section 8.7 Utility Charges. Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid, directly to the party entitled, all charges for electricity, power, gas, oil, water, telephone, sanitary sewer services and all other utilities used in or on the Property prior to and during the Term, and such obligation on the part of Tenant shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease until all such outstanding balances for services rendered prior to or during the term of this Lease have been paid. Any refunds of such charges attributable to the Term shall be the property of Tenant, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Landlord shall pay the same to Tenant promptly upon its receipt thereof. Tenant shall have the right to select such service providers for the Property. Section 8.8 Notice of Litigation. Tenant shall give prompt written notice to Landlord of (i) any written notice or Actual Knowledge by Tenant of any litigation or governmental 17 proceedings pending against Tenant or the Property, which could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the use or value of the Property, and (ii) any written notice or Actual Knowledge by Tenant of any violation by Tenant of Applicable Law that could reasonably be expected to impose liability on the Owner Participant, the Landlord, the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder. ARTICLE 9 INSURANCE Section 9.1 Coverage. (a) Subject to Section 9.1(b), Tenant shall maintain insurance of the types and in the amounts set forth on Schedule 9.1 attached hereto and made a part hereof, which insurance requirements shall be consistent with the coverage maintained by Tenant for similar properties owned or leased by Tenant. Without limiting the foregoing, under no circumstances shall such insurance be less than that maintained by prudent owners of similar Class A buildings (to the extent comprising office space), research facilities and related properties. (b) Notwithstanding Section 9.1(a), at any time that the Tenant or Guarantor shall maintain a Credit Rating of at least BBB+ (if rated by S&P) and Baal (if rated by Moody's) from the Rating Agencies (and for thirty (30) days thereafter), Tenant shall be entitled to self-insure and/or have deductibles against any risks described in clause (a)(i) - (x) of Schedule 9.1 so long as no Material Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Except as otherwise provided herein, during any period that Tenant is self-insuring, Tenant shall not be required to deliver any policies, certificates or other evidence of insurance. At any time that the Tenant is not entitled to self-insure as described in the immediately preceding sentence, the amount of any deductible with respect to any property insurance policy required by this Lease shall be $3,000,000 or less and with respect to any general liability insurance policy required by this Lease shall be $3,000,000 or less. (c) Nothing in this Article 9 shall prohibit the Tenant from maintaining at its expense insurance on or with respect to the Property, naming the Tenant as insured and/or loss payee and the Indenture Trustee as an additional insured and/or loss payee, for an amount greater than the insurance required to be maintained under this Section 9.1, unless such insurance would conflict with or otherwise limit the availability of or coverage afforded by insurance required to be maintained under this Section 9.1. Nothing in this Section 9.1 shall prohibit the Landlord from maintaining at its sole cost and expense other insurance on or with respect to the Property or the operation, use and occupancy of the Property, naming the Landlord as insured and/or payee, unless such insurance would conflict with, cause the Landlord to be a coinsurer or otherwise limit or adversely affect the ability to obtain, or the cost of the insurance required to be maintained by Tenant under this Section 9.1. (d) On or prior to the Closing Date and on or before the tenth (10th) day prior to the expiration of any policy maintained pursuant to this Article 9 and not less than five (5) days prior to any sale of the Property or any refinancing permitted under this Lease, Tenant shall 18 deliver to Landlord and the Indenture Trustee certificates of insurance issued by the insurers evidencing any insurance required to be maintained pursuant to this Article 9 or, to the extent Tenant is permitted to self-insure under the requirements established in Section 9.1(b) and Tenant has elected to do so, an Officer's Certificate that self-insurance is permitted under this Section 9.1 and that self-insurance is in place for any insurance coverage required under this Article 9 that is not otherwise evidenced by the insurers' certificates of insurance. In the event that Tenant shall fail to maintain insurance or provide notice of self-insurance as herein provided, Landlord and/or its successors, designees, or assigns may at their respective option, but without obligation, provide such insurance and, in such event, Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of demand from time to time, reimburse Landlord and/or its successors, designees, or assigns for the cost thereof, together with interest on such cost at the Default Rate computed from the date of payment of such cost to the date of reimbursement. Landlord and/or its successors, designees, or assigns shall give prompt written notice to Tenant of any such insurance. (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no provision of this Article 9 or any other provision of this Lease shall impose on Landlord any duty or obligation to verify the existence or adequacy of the insurance coverage maintained by Tenant, nor shall Landlord be responsible for any representations or warranties made by or on behalf of Tenant to any insurance broker, company or underwriter. (f) All proceeds of property insurance policies maintained pursuant to this Article 9 and the amount of any deductible shall be paid in the manner set forth in Article 12 of this Lease; provided, however, that, if the applicable Section of this Lease requires that the proceeds of property insurance be retained by the Indenture Trustee, and Tenant was self-insured with respect to the occurrence which would have generated such proceeds, then Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after such occurrence, pay a sum equal to the proceeds that would have been paid by the insurance policies required under clause (a)(i) of Schedule 9.1 (assuming that there was no deductible allowed and no self-insurance in place), to the Indenture Trustee as though there were an actual policy of insurance in place. ARTICLE 10 RETURN OF PROPERTY TO LANDLORD Section 10.1 Return of Property to Landlord. Tenant shall, upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, and at its own expense, quit and surrender the Property to Landlord in compliance with the maintenance conditions required by this Lease and in good order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, broom clean, with all personal property removed, free and clear of all Liens other than Landlord Liens and Liens described in clause (vi) of the definition of Permitted Liens. Upon surrender, Tenant shall deliver an Environmental Report to Landlord not disclosing any violations of Environmental Law, which Environmental Report shall be dated within ninety (90) days of the date of such surrender. The delivery of such Environmental Report shall not relieve Tenant of any indemnification obligation or liability with respect to any Release, threat of Release, violation of Environmental Law, Environmental Claim 19 or other loss of or damage to any property or the environment. All Severable Alterations and Tenant's Equipment and Personalty not removed by Tenant by the last day of the Lease Term, other than those Alterations as to which title shall vest in Landlord pursuant to Section 8.4, shall be deemed abandoned in place by Tenant and shall become the property of Landlord. Tenant agrees to reasonably cooperate with Landlord and its representatives to effectuate a smooth transition of the operation of maintenance of the Property. Such cooperation shall include, without limitation, transfers at no expense to Landlord of all (i) keys and locks located in and at the Property, (ii) transferable licenses, certificates, permits, authorizations and approvals relating to the use and occupancy of the Property, (iii) all plans and specifications, drawings, blueprints, operating manuals, engineering logs and all other records, (iv) existing contracts, names and warranties, with, of and from service providers, and expected operation and maintenance requirements, and (v) such other papers and documents in possession and control of the Tenant which may be reasonably necessary for the proper operation, use or occupancy of the Property. Section 10.2 Separation from Additional Property. If, at the time of the expiration or termination of this Lease, any part of the Improvements is connected to any structure located on the Additional Property, then subject to, and in accordance with, the provisions of this Section, Article 24, hereof and any Reciprocal Easement Agreement, Tenant shall, on or before the date of such expiration or termination, cause the Improvements to be completely separated from the improvements on the Additional Property. In separating such improvements, Tenant shall (i) cause the removal of any Bridge connecting the Improvements to the improvements on the Additional Property, (ii) cause the removal of any electric utility lines and appurtenant facilities installed between the Additional Property and the Power Plant pursuant to Section 24.4 hereof, (iii) cause the construction of demising walls or sealing of exterior walls in the Improvements at points not encroaching beyond the zoning and subdivision set-back lines existing and applicable to the Property as of the date thereof and in a manner and appearance consistent with the balance of the Improvements and thereby sealing all previously existing connection points on all floors of the Improvements, and (iv) cause the separation of all building and utility systems for the Property and the Additional Property, including, without limitation, HVAC, gas, electrical, plumbing, life safety, sprinkler, telephone/telecommunications, security, emergency, uninterruptible power supply and building management systems, so as to return such systems to separate, distinct and fully functional, independent systems that service only the Property (except with respect to the distribution of any steam and electric power service from the Power Plant to the Additional Property as may be provided in the Reciprocal Easement Agreement), and the Additional Property, respectively, in accordance with Applicable Laws, and (v) complete such other work incidental to the work described in clauses (i) through (iv) above that Landlord may deem reasonably necessary to complete such separation. ARTICLE 11 ASSIGNMENT BY TENANT Section 11.1 Assignment Permitted; Tenant Remains Liable. So long as no Material Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Tenant may assign this Lease to any Person, without the consent of Landlord. Notwithstanding any such assignment, neither Tenant 20 nor the Guarantor shall be released from its primary liability hereunder or under the Guaranty and Tenant shall continue to be obligated for all obligations of "Tenant" in this Lease, which obligations shall continue in full effect as obligations of a principal and not of a guarantor or surety, as though no assignment had been made, and in connection with and as a condition to such assignment, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord and, so long as the Lien of the Indenture remains outstanding, the Indenture Trustee, a reaffirmation (substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto (which form is subject to changes required by law in order to give full effect to the provisions of such reaffirmation)) by the Guarantor of all obligations under the Guaranty, together with an opinion, in form and substance, and from a nationally recognized law firm, reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and the Indenture Trustee, as to the enforceability of the Guaranty and such other matters incidental thereto as Landlord and the Indenture Trustee may reasonably request. Tenant shall, subsequent to any assignment (a) receive a duplicate copy of each notice of default sent by Landlord to the new tenant or any assignee (but such notice shall be effective as against such new tenant, as well as any subsequent assignee, even if a copy has not been delivered to Tenant), and (b) not be prohibited by Landlord to cure any default by the new tenant or other assignee under the Lease within the cure period provided for hereunder. Nothing in this Section or elsewhere in this Lease shall be construed as prohibiting or otherwise restricting Tenant's right to consolidate or merge with another entity, sell substantially all of its assets to another Person or effect a similar corporate restructuring without the prior consent of Landlord. ARTICLE 12 LOSS; DESTRUCTION; CONDEMNATION OR DAMAGE Section 12.1 Event of Loss. If there shall occur an Event of Loss, Tenant shall give Landlord prompt (but no later than forty-five (45) days after such occurrence) written notice thereof and elect in writing delivered to Landlord, within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of the Event of Loss, one of the following options (provided that Tenant's election under clause (ii) below shall be effective only if restoration can be completed by the time specified in such clause (ii)): (i) Offer to purchase the Property from Landlord, on a Stipulated Loss Value Date as set forth on Schedule 12.1 attached hereto, which, if the Landlord accepts or is deemed to accept such offer, shall be the first Stipulated Loss Value Date after Landlord accepts or is deemed to accept such offer, for a purchase price equal to the sum of (A) the Stipulated Loss Value as of such Stipulated Loss Value Date, plus (B) all unpaid Rent due on or prior to, and (without duplication) all Rent, including, without limitation, Supplemental Rent accruing but unpaid through, such Stipulated Loss Value Date, plus (C) an amount equal to the reasonable out of pocket expenses of Landlord relating to the purchase by Tenant as a result of such Event of Loss (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and costs actually incurred by Landlord) (the "SLV Amount"). Landlord shall have ninety (90) days from the date of receipt of Tenant's offer to decide whether to accept or reject such offer and the failure to accept or reject such offer in 21 writing within such ninety (90) days shall be deemed an acceptance by Landlord of such offer; or (ii) Restore, repair, replace and rebuild the Improvements damaged as a result of such Event of Loss so that such Improvements will have a value, residual value, utility and remaining useful life and be in a condition that is not less than the value, residual value, utility and remaining useful life of the Improvements or worse than the condition immediately prior to such Event of Loss, and in all events as required by Section 8.2, such restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding to be commenced within two hundred seventy (270) days of such Event of Loss and substantially completed, subject to force majeure, by the earlier to occur of (x) the twenty-four (24) month anniversary of the commencement of such restoration, repair, replacement or rebuilding, or (y) twelve (12) mouths prior to the expiration of the Lease Term. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.2, so long as there is not continuing any Material Default or Event of Default, the Tenant shall control all aspects of any repair, rebuilding, replacement or restoration of the Property so as to repair, rebuild, replace and restore the same as set forth in this clause (ii). In addition to their rights under Section 15.1 hereof, the Landlord and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to review, but not approve, plans and specifications and inspect the Property, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, at any time upon not less than two (2) Business Days prior notice in connection with any such repair, rebuilding, replacement or restoration. If Tenant makes an offer to purchase pursuant to clause (i) above of this Section 12.1, and Landlord accepts such offer or is deemed to have accepted such offer within the ninety (90) day period referred to in the last sentence of clause (i) above, the conveyance shall occur, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord the SLV Amount on the applicable Stipulated Loss Value Date. In the event Tenant has made the election described in clause (ii) above and, notwithstanding its diligent efforts in good faith, has failed to comply with the terms thereof within the periods described, then Tenant shall be deemed to have made the offer described in (i) above to purchase the Property on the Stipulated Loss Value Date set forth on Schedule 12.1 attached hereto next succeeding the expiration of the period described in clause (ii), or if there is no such date, the last date on Schedule 12.1, as the case may be, but in any event, only on a Rent Payment Date. In the event Landlord rejects the offer of Tenant to purchase the Property as provided in clause (i) of this Section 12.1 (which rejection, if the Lien of the Indenture has not been terminated or discharged in accordance with Section 3 thereof, shall be effective only if the Indenture Trustee shall have given its written consent thereto), the following amount shall be paid to or retained by Landlord on the Stipulated Loss Value Date on which the SLV Amount would have otherwise been paid: (A) all Net Proceeds related to the Property; provided, that if Tenant is self-insured (as permitted above) by means of deductibles, retained risks or no insurance whatsoever, Tenant shall pay such amounts or additional amounts so that Landlord receives in total (including any Net Proceeds) an amount that would have been paid by a third- 22 party insurer under a customary commercial "all risk" full replacement value insurance policy substantially similar to that described in Schedule 9.1 without deductibles or retained risks, plus (B) unpaid Rent due with respect to the Property on or prior to such Stipulated Loss Value Date, plus (C) all Supplemental Rent then outstanding. Upon payment in full of the amounts set forth in clauses (A), (B) and (C) of the preceding sentence (in the event Landlord rejected Tenant's offer to purchase) or in clauses (A), (B) and (C) in clause (i) of the first sentence of this Section 12.1 (in the event Landlord accepted Tenant's offer to purchase), (1) the Lease Term shall end, and (2) the obligations of Tenant hereunder (other than any obligations expressed herein as surviving termination of this Lease) shall terminate as of the date of such payment. Section 12.2 Restoration; Application of Payments. (a) If there shall occur a Casualty or Condemnation not constituting an Event of Loss, Tenant shall promptly restore, repair, replace and rebuild the Improvements damaged as a result thereof so that such Improvements will have a value, residual value, utility and remaining useful life and be in a condition that is not less than the value, residual value, utility and remaining useful life of the Improvements or worse than the condition immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation, and in all events as required by Section 8.2, such restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding to be commenced within two hundred seventy (270) days of such Casualty or Condemnation and substantially completed, subject to force majeure, by the earlier to occur of (x) the twenty-four (24) month anniversary of the commencement of such restoration, repair, replacement or rebuilding, or (y) twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the Lease Term. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.2, so long as there is not continuing any Material Default or Event of Default, the Tenant shall control all aspects of any repair, rebuilding, replacement or restoration of the Property so as to repair, rebuild, replace and restore the same as set forth in this Section 12.2(a). In addition to their rights under Section 15.1 hereof, the Landlord and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to review, but not approve, plans and specifications and inspect the Property, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, at any time upon not less than two (2) Business Days prior notice in connection with any such repair, rebuilding, replacement or restoration. (b) All Net Proceeds (except for payments under insurance policies not required by, but maintained in accordance with, Article 9) received at any time by Landlord or Tenant from any Governmental Authority or other Person with respect to any Condemnation, Casualty or Event of Loss in a case in which this Lease will not terminate shall (except to the extent Section 12.2(f) or Section 12.3 applies) be applied as set forth in this Section 12.2 to repair, rebuild, replace or restore the Improvements in accordance with clause (ii) of Section 12.1 or Section 12.2(a), as applicable. (c) If Tenant shall have elected or be required to repair or restore the Property and (i) no Material Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) the Net Proceeds (including amounts with respect to which Tenant is self-insured as provided in Article 9 hereof) payable are less than $5,000,000, all such Net Proceeds shall, subject to the relevant 23 conditions set forth in Article 9, be paid to Tenant immediately upon demand, and in any event shall be applied, as necessary, for the repair or restoration of the Property. (d) If (i) a Material Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of the subject Casualty, Condemnation or Event of Loss or thereafter during the repair or restoration period or (ii) the Net Proceeds (including amounts with respect to which Tenant is self-insured as provided in Article 9 hereof) with respect to the Property equal or exceed $5,000,000, the full amount of such Net Proceeds shall be deposited with the Indenture Trustee and shall be disbursed by Indenture Trustee in accordance with this Section. The Indenture Trustee shall have no affirmative obligation to prosecute a determination of the amount of, or to effect the collection of, any Net Proceeds unless the Indenture Trustee shall have been given an express written undertaking to do so by the holders of the Indenture Notes. Moneys received by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Lease shall not be commingled with the Indenture Trustee's own funds and shall be held by the Indenture Trustee in trust, either separately or with other trust funds, for the uses and purposes provided in this Lease. The Indenture Trustee shall invest any moneys held by it pursuant to this clause (d) in Permitted Investments as directed in accordance with Section 12.7 and the interest paid or received by the Indenture Trustee on the moneys so held in trust shall be added to the moneys so held in trust. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable or accountable for any action taken or suffered by the Indenture Trustee or for any disbursement of moneys made by the Indenture Trustee in good faith in reliance on advice of legal counsel. In disbursing monies pursuant to this Section, the Indenture Trustee may rely conclusively on the information contained in any notice given to the Indenture Trustee by Tenant (a copy of which shall be sent to Landlord) in accordance with the provisions hereof unless Landlord notifies the Indenture Trustee in writing within five (5) Business Days after the giving of any such notice by Tenant that (i) Landlord intends in good faith to dispute such information, in which case the disputed amount shall not be disbursed but shall continue to be held by the Indenture Trustee until such dispute shall have been resolved or (ii) a Material Default or a Event of Default is continuing, in which case the proceeds shall be held in accordance with Section 26.19 hereof. (e) If such excess proceeds or the full amount of such Net Proceeds, as applicable, are being held pursuant to clause (d) above, from time to time, but not more often than once in any thirty (30) day period; and provided that Tenant has first paid any amounts to the extent of Net Proceeds held by Tenant, including amounts with respect to which Tenant is self-insured in accordance with Section 9(b) hereof, Tenant may request reimbursement out of such excess proceeds or Net Proceeds, as applicable, for the actual costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with such repair and rebuilding. Such requests shall be made by written notice to the Indenture Trustee, with a copy to Landlord, setting forth in reasonable detail all of such costs and expenses incurred by Tenant and certifying that (1) all of such costs and expenses are due and owing (or will be due and owing within the next ten (10) days) and (2) such costs and expenses were not the subject of a previous certificate delivered pursuant to this clause (e) (unless such costs and expenses have been disputed by Landlord pursuant to clause (d) above) and (3) such other matters as are customary in accordance with prudent practice for periodic construction draws. Any request by Tenant for the payment of such, excess proceeds or such Net 24 Proceeds, as applicable, shall also be accompanied by an Officer's Certificate from a Responsible Officer of Tenant certifying that: (i) the amount of Net Proceeds then held by the Indenture Trustee and Tenant, as the case may be, are sufficient to complete the restoration to be completed subsequent to the date of such certificate or if not, that Tenant has deposited with the Indenture Trustee available funds which, together with the undisbursed Net Proceeds, are sufficient to complete the restoration; (ii) no Material Default or Event of Default is continuing; and (iii) no Liens other than Permitted Liens have arisen out of any labor performed in connection with such repair and restoration. If Landlord shall in good faith desire to dispute the information contained in any notice given by Tenant, Landlord shall so notify Tenant and the Indenture Trustee in writing within five (5) Business Days after the giving of such notice, specifying the amount intended to be disputed and the nature of the dispute. After such five (5) Business Days period has elapsed, if Landlord has not disputed the information contained in Tenant's notice, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly disburse to Tenant out of such excess proceeds or Net Proceeds, as the case may be, the amount of such costs and expenses; (e) Subject to Section 12.4, and once such repair and restoration is completed in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by the Owner Participant, as certified by an independent engineer engaged by Tenant, and fully paid for, any Net Casualty Proceeds under insurance paid for or provided by Tenant in excess of amounts necessary for the repair or restoration of the affected Improvements, or amounts necessary for the payments required to be paid pursuant to Section 12.1, shall be paid to Tenant upon payment of the amounts required to be paid under Section 12.1; and (f) Any Net Condemnation Proceeds shall be divided between Landlord and Tenant as their interests appear in accordance with Applicable Laws. Any such Net Condemnation Proceeds attributable to Tenant's interest in the affected Property shall be applied first to the payment of amounts required to be paid under Section 12.1, if applicable, and all other Net Condemnation Proceeds attributable to Tenant's interest or attributable to the cost of repair shall be paid to Tenant. (g) During any period of repair or rebuilding pursuant to this Article 12, this Lease will remain in full force and effect and Rent shall continue to accrue and be payable without abatement or reduction. Tenant shall maintain records setting forth information relating to the receipt and application of payments in accordance with this Section 12.2. Such records shall be kept on file by Tenant at its offices and shall be made available at their then current location to Landlord during normal business hours upon request. All repair and rebuilding pursuant to this Article 12 shall be done in compliance with the requirements of Section 12.1(ii) or 12.2(a), as applicable. 25 Section 12.3 Application of Payments Not Relating to Certain Events of Loss. (a) In case of a requisition for temporary use of all or a portion of the Property which is not an Event of Loss described in clause (i) or (ii) of the definition thereof, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, without any abatement or reduction of Rent, and the Net Condemnation Proceeds for the Property shall, unless a Material Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (in which case such Net Condemnation Proceeds shall be paid to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with Section 12.2(d)), be paid to Tenant, except that any portion of such Net Condemnation Proceeds that was awarded with respect to the time period after the expiration or termination of the Term shall be allocated between Landlord and Tenant as their respective interests shall appear. Following the occurrence of any Condemnation which is not an Event of Loss described in clause (i) or (ii) of the definition thereof (so long as this Lease shall not have been terminated with respect to the Property as provided in this Article 12), Tenant shall to the extent possible restore the Property to the condition existing prior to the date of such Condemnation. (b) In case of a Condemnation not resulting in an Event of Loss described in clause (i) or (ii) of the definition thereof and which is not a case of a requisition for temporary use of all or a portion of the Property, to the extent the Condemnation relates to an Improvement, Tenant shall (i) construct a building or improvement of equal remaining economic useful life and expected residual value or repair, rebuild, replace or restore the Property to the fullest possible extent. In connection therewith this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, without any abatement or reduction in Rent and the Net Condemnation Proceeds for the Property shall be paid to Landlord and Tenant as their interests may appear. Section 12.4 Dispositions of Proceeds during Default. So long as a Material Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any amount that would otherwise be payable to or for the account of, or that would otherwise be retained by, Tenant pursuant to this Article 12 shall be paid to Landlord and applied by Landlord to the payment of Tenant's obligations under this Lease and the other Operative Documents or held as security for the obligations of Tenant under this Lease pursuant to Section 26.19 hereof, as Landlord may elect. Section 12.5 Negotiations. In the event the Property becomes subject to Condemnation or requisition proceedings, Tenant shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Landlord and the Indenture Trustee and the Tenant shall control the negotiations with the relevant Governmental Authority, so long as no Material Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and this Lease has not been terminated; provided, however, that in any event Landlord may elect to participate at Tenant's expense in such negotiations but in no event shall Landlord be entitled to control or settle any such proceedings; provided, further, that no settlement of the Condemnation proceedings shall be made without the prior consent of Landlord, which consent shall not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in jurisdictions where a separate award may be granted for the difference between market rent and contract rent (the so-called "bonus value"), Tenant's Equipment and Personalty, moving and relocation expenses, business loss, business damages, 26 loss of goodwill, unamortized costs of any Alterations title for which has not vested in Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and Tenant's attorneys' fees, costs and expenses in the proceedings. Tenant may assert claims for and control the negotiations pertaining to such interests; provided, however, that the Landlord's award in respect to the Property is not diminished by the award to Tenant or delayed by such negotiations. If a Material Default or Event of Default is continuing, Landlord may assume control of such negotiations and Landlord may agree to such settlement without the consent of Tenant in its reasonable discretion. Tenant and Landlord shall give to the other such information, and copies of such documents, which relate to such proceedings, or which relate to the settlement of amounts due under insurance policies required by Article 9, and are in the possession of Tenant or Landlord, as the case may be, as are reasonably requested by the other. Section 12.6 No Rent Abatement. Rent shall not abate hereunder by reason of any Casualty, any Condemnation or any Event of Loss when this Lease does not terminate in accordance with the provisions of this Article 12, and Tenant shall continue to perform and fulfill all of Tenant's obligations, covenants and agreements hereunder to the extent reasonably practicable given such Casualty, Condemnation or Event of Loss. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant expressly waives the provisions and benefits of any present or future law relating to damage or destruction (including, without limitation, any statutes now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction where the Property is located) and agrees that the provisions of this Lease shall control the rights of Landlord and Tenant with respect to damage or destruction or any Condemnation. Section 12.7 Investment. Provided that no Material Default or Event of Default is continuing, the Landlord agrees that the Tenant may direct the investment of amounts held by the Landlord or the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Article 12 and not applied to the payment of Tenant's obligations under this Lease and the other Operative Documents in Permitted Investments. Any losses attributable to such investment shall be promptly reimbursed by the Tenant. Section 12.8 Certain Events of Loss. If an Event of Loss described in clause (i) or (ii) of the definition thereof shall occur for the Property, prior to the date title to the Property shall have been conveyed to the condemning authority having jurisdiction thereof, Tenant shall give Landlord prompt written notice of such occurrence and the date thereof. ARTICLE 13 CONVEYANCE OF PROPERTY TO TENANT Section 13.1 Conveyance of Property to Tenant. Upon the purchase of Landlord's rights in the Property by Tenant and the payment of the SLV Amount pursuant to Section 12.1(i), Landlord shall convey to Tenant or its designee (i) such Property (except with respect to a Condemnation constituting 100% of the Property) by a quit claim deed and (ii) all rights, title and interest of Landlord in and to any Net Proceeds (if any), with respect to the Property, on an "as-is," "where-is" basis, free and clear of all Landlord Liens but with no other recourse, representation or warranty of any kind, and (b) the Term shall end and the obligations of the 27 Tenant hereunder (other than any obligations expressed herein as surviving termination of this Lease) shall terminate as of the date of such payment. ARTICLE 14 SUBLEASE Section 14.1 Subleasing Permitted; Tenant Remains Liable. (a) So long as no Material Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Tenant may at any time and from time to time sublease the Property or any portion or portions thereof to any Person or permit the occupancy of the Property or any portion or portions thereof by any Person; provided, however, that (i) no sublease shall continue beyond the Term of the Lease unless the Term shall have been irrevocably extended pursuant to Section 5.1 herein, (ii) any such sublease, sub-sublease, license, occupancy agreement or similar agreement (each, a "Sublease") shall not release Tenant from its primary liability for the performance of its duties and obligations hereunder, and Tenant shall continue to be obligated for all obligations of "Tenant" in this Lease, which obligations shall continue in full force and effect as obligations of a principal and not of a guarantor or surety, as though no sublease had been made, (iii) each Sublease shall be expressly subject and subordinate to this Lease, (iv) no Sublease shall purport to release Tenant from any of its obligations or liabilities under this Lease or any other Operative Document, (v) no sublessee shall be bankrupt or insolvent at the inception of the Sublease and each sublessee shall be permitted to use the Property only as permitted by Section 8.1 of this Lease, (vi) the Sublease shall not contain any purchase options for the Property, (vii) no Sublease shall cause any portion of the Property to be tax-exempt use property within the meaning of Section 168(h) of the Code, (viii) any such Sublease shall contain an express attornment by the subtenant thereunder to Landlord or any successor Landlord, and (ix) Tenant shall provide Landlord prompt notice and a true and correct copy of such Sublease. (b) If all of the Property shall be subject to a Sublease during the last five years of the Base Term or any Extension Term and such Sublease extends to the end of such Term, Landlord shall have the right but not the obligation to terminate this Lease with respect to Tenant and take possession of the Property, subject to such Sublease upon thirty (30) days' written notice to the Tenant. ARTICLE 15 INSPECTION Section 15.1 Inspection. Upon at least two (2) Business Days' prior written notice to Tenant (or immediately if an emergency or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) Landlord and its respective representatives and agents (each, an "Inspecting Party"), may, in a commercially reasonable manner, at their own risk, inspect the Property, during normal business hours, or exhibit the Property to bona fide prospective purchasers or lenders, excluding designated secured areas, including, without limitation, the right to cause consultants to make reasonable structural, environmental (to the extent necessary to verify compliance with the 28 provisions of this Lease) and/or other inspections or tests; provided, however, that no Inspecting Party shall be permitted to engage in invasive testing of the Property without the consent of Tenant, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Sublease shall contain any restrictions on inspection other than as set forth herein. The Inspecting Party shall indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from and against any loss, damages, claims, expenses, liability caused by any inspection or test performed pursuant to this Section 15.1, but only to the extent such loss, damage, claim, expense or liability resulted from the negligence or willful misconduct of the Inspecting Party. Tenant shall have the right during such inspection to have its representatives present at any such inspection, including security guards. Upon reasonable prior notice, the Inspecting Party shall be entitled to inspect the books and records relating to the condition, maintenance and operation of the Property (other than in respect of any businesses operated thereon) at the offices of Tenant or any Affiliate of Tenant that may be subleasing or managing the Property and to meet with representatives of Tenant regarding the same, in each case during normal business hours; provided, however, that each Inspecting Party agrees to hold in confidence all proprietary or confidential information and trade secrets of which it becomes aware during such inspection. All such inspections and tests shall be at the Inspecting Party's sole cost and expense, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing.

provided, however, that the continuation of such a failure for thirty (30) days or longer after such notice shall not constitute an Event of Default if such failure is curable but cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period and Tenant or Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be diligently and continuously prosecuting the cure of such failure and shall so effectuate cure within three hundred sixty (360) days after Tenant's receipt of such notice;

provided, however, that the continuation of such a failure for thirty (30) Business Days or longer after such notice shall not constitute an Event of Default if such failure cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) Business Day period, and Tenant or Guarantor shall be diligently and continuously prosecuting the cure and shall so effectuate cure within three hundred sixty (360) days after Tenant's receipt of such notice;

ARTICLE 17 ENFORCEMENT Section 17.1 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter so long as the same shall be continuing, Landlord may, at its option, by notice to Tenant do one or more of the following as Landlord in its sole discretion shall determine: (a) Landlord may, by notice to Tenant, terminate this Lease as of the date specified in such notice; provided, however, (i) no reletting, reentry or taking of possession of any or all of the Property by Landlord under subsection (b) or (d) below or otherwise will be construed as an election on Landlord's part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant, (ii) notwithstanding any reletting, reentry or taking of possession, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease with respect to any or all of the Property, and (iii) no act or thing done by Landlord or any of its agents, representatives or employees and no agreement accepting a surrender of any or all of the Property shall be valid unless the same shall be made in writing and executed by Landlord and, so long as the Lien of the Indenture has not been discharged in accordance with Section 3 thereof, the Indenture Trustee. If Landlord shall have terminated this Lease, Landlord may demand that Tenant pay to Landlord, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, the amounts set forth in subsection (e) below. (b) Landlord may, whether or not the Lease is terminated (i) demand that Tenant, and Tenant shall upon the written demand of Landlord, return the Property promptly to Landlord in the manner and condition required by, and otherwise in accordance with all of the 31 provisions of, Article 8 and Article 10 as if the Property were being returned at the end of the Lease Term, and Landlord shall not be liable for the reimbursement of Tenant for any costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in connection therewith, and (ii) without prejudice to any other remedy which Landlord may have for possession of the Property, enter upon the Property and take immediate possession of (to the exclusion of Tenant) the Property and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the same (subject to the terms of any nondisturbance agreements with Landlord in favor of any subtenants), by summary proceedings or otherwise, all without liability on the part of Landlord for or by reason of such entry or taking of possession, whether for the restoration of damage to the Property caused by such taking or otherwise and, in addition to Landlord's other damages, Tenant shall be responsible for the reasonably necessary costs and expenses of reletting actually incurred, including, without limitation, brokers' fees and the costs of any alterations or repairs made by the Landlord. (c) Landlord may sell the Property at public or private sale (and at such sale the Landlord may bid for and purchase the Property), as Landlord may determine, free and clear of any rights of Tenant and without any duty to account to Tenant with respect to such action or inaction or any proceeds with respect thereto. Whether or not Landlord shall have sold the Property in accordance with this subsection, Landlord may demand that Tenant pay to Landlord, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, the amounts set forth in subsection (e) below (exclusive of clause (iv) thereof). (d) Subject to any duty to mitigate damages under Applicable Laws which duty, if any, Tenant hereby expressly waives to the fullest extent possible under Applicable Law, the Landlord may hold, keep idle or lease to others all or any part of the Property as the Landlord in its sole discretion may determine, free and clear of any rights of the Tenant and without any duty to account to the Tenant with respect to such action or inaction or for any proceeds with respect to such action or inaction, except that the Tenant's obligation to pay Base Rent or Extension Rent from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default shall be reduced by the net proceeds, if any, actually received by the Landlord from leasing the Property to any Person other than the Tenant for the same periods or any portion thereof after deductions for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of reletting actually incurred by Landlord, including, without limitation, brokers' fees and the costs of any alterations or repairs made by the Landlord as may be reasonably necessary to retrofit the Property for use by the new tenant. (e) Whether or not Landlord shall have exercised any remedy pursuant to the terms of Section 17.1(a), (b) or (d), Landlord may demand, by written notice to Tenant, that Tenant pay to Landlord, and Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord, on the date specified in such notice (the "Final Payment Date"), as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and not as a penalty (the parties agreeing that Landlord's actual damages would be difficult to predict, but the liquidated damages described below represent a reasonable approximation of such amount), in lieu of Base Rent or Extension Rent due for the period commencing on the Rent Payment Date next succeeding the Final Payment Date through the remainder of the Term, an amount equal to the sum of: 32 (1) all accrued but unpaid Rent due on or prior to, and (without duplication) all unpaid Rent accruing but unpaid up to and including the Final Payment Date; plus (2) whichever of the following amounts the Landlord, in its sole discretion, shall specify in such notice: (i) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (A) Termination Value, computed as of the Final Payment Date, over (B) the net present value as of the Final Payment Date of the Fair Market Rental Value of the Property for the remainder of the Term, discounting such Fair Market Rental Value semi-annually at a discount rate equal to the Debt Rate; (ii) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (A) Termination Value, computed as of the Final Payment Date, over (B) the Fair Market Sales Value of the Property as of the Final Payment Date; (iii) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the present value as of the Final Payment Date of all installments of Base Rent or Extension Rent until the end of the Base Term or then current Extension Term, as the case may be, discounted semi-annually at the Debt Rate, over (B) the present value, as of the Final Payment Date, of the Fair Market Rental Value of the Property until the end of the Base Term or then current Extension Term, as the case may be, discounted semi-annually at the Debt Rate; or (iv) an amount (the "Forced Sale Amount") equal to the greater of Termination Value or Fair Market Sales Value of the Property as of the Final Payment Date; plus (3) interest at the Default Rate on such amounts from the Final Payment Date to the date of actual payment. In the event that Landlord shall demand payment of the Forced Sale Amount then, upon payment by Tenant of such amount and all other amounts required under this Section 17.1, and upon presentation of evidence satisfactory to the Landlord that the Property is and will remain, during the period described below, in compliance with the insurance requirements of this Lease, Tenant may commence marketing of the Property at its sole cost and expense and may require Landlord to execute documents to effectuate a sale provided such documents are contemplated by Article 22 below (except that Landlord shall not be required to give any representation or warranty of any kind in connection with any sale). The net proceeds of any sale (after payment of all expenses of the sale and all actual out of pocket costs incurred by Landlord, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) shall be paid to and retained by Tenant up to 33 the Forced Sale Amount. Any amounts received in excess of the Forced Sale Amount shall be for Landlord's account. Landlord shall be under no duty to solicit bids, to inquire into the efforts of Tenant to obtain bids or otherwise to take any action in connection with any safe other than to sell the Property as provided herein. If no sale pursuant to this Section 17.1(e) shall have occurred within 365 days after the payment by Tenant of the Forced Sale Amount, Landlord shall have the right to convey the Property to any Person and for any consideration (including nominal consideration) as it may elect in its sole discretion. Anything to the contrary set forth herein notwithstanding, at any time during the continuance of the marketing of the Property by Tenant in compliance with the terms of this Section 17.1(e), the remedy provided by Section 17.1(c) shall not be available. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the ability of Tenant to market the Property and to apply net proceeds of any sale against the Forced Sale Amount constitutes a reasonable mitigation of the damages suffered by Landlord by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default. (f) Landlord may retain and apply against Landlord's damages all sums which Landlord would, absent such Event of Default, be required to pay to, or turn over to, Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease. (g) Landlord may exercise any other right or remedy that may be available to it under Applicable Laws or in equity, or proceed by appropriate court action (legal or equitable) to enforce the terms hereof or to recover damages for the breach hereof. Separate suits may be brought to collect any such damages for any period or periods with respect to which Rent shall have accrued, and such suits shall not in any manner prejudice Landlord's right to collect any such damages for any subsequent period, or Landlord may defer any such suit until after the expiration of the Base Term or the then current Extension Term, in which event such suit shall be deemed not to have accrued until the expiration of the Base Term, or the then current Extension Term. Section 17.2 Survival of Tenant's Obligations. No repossession of any or all of the Property or exercise of any remedy under this Lease, including termination of this Lease, shall, except as specifically provided herein, relieve Tenant of any of its liabilities and obligations hereunder, including the obligation to pay Rent. In addition, except as specifically provided herein, Tenant shall be liable for any and all unpaid Rent due hereunder before, after or during the exercise of any of the foregoing remedies, including all reasonable legal fees and other costs and expenses incurred by Landlord by reason of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default or the exercise of Landlord's remedies with respect thereto, and including all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the return of the Property in the manner and condition required by, and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of, Article 10 as if the Property were being returned at the end of the Term. Section 17.3 Remedies Cumulative: No Waiver; Consents. To the extent permitted by, and subject to the mandatory requirements of, Applicable Laws, each and every right, power and remedy herein specifically given to Landlord or otherwise in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy 34 whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by Landlord, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter, any right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by Landlord in the exercise of any right, power or remedy or in the pursuit of any remedy shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default on the part of Tenant or to be an acquiescence therein. Landlord's consent to any request made by Tenant shall not be deemed to constitute or preclude the necessity for obtaining Landlord's consent, in the future, to all similar requests. No express or implied waiver by Landlord of any Event of Default shall in any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any future or subsequent Event of Default. ARTICLE 18 RIGHT TO PERFORM FOR TENANT Section 18.1 Right to Perform for Tenant. If Tenant shall fail to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, following applicable notice and cure periods (except in the event of an emergency, in which case only such prior notice, if any, as is reasonably required under the circumstances shall be required), Landlord may perform or comply with such agreement, and Landlord shall not thereby be deemed to have waived any default caused by such failure and such performance or compliance shall not relieve the Tenant from any default hereunder, and the amount of payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder and made by Landlord on behalf of Tenant, and the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Landlord (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the performance of or compliance with such agreement, as the case may be, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, shall be deemed Supplemental Rent, payable by Tenant to Landlord upon thirty (30) days' written notice to Tenant.

(a) Provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or will occur by virtue of the provisions of this Section 21.1, Tenant shall have the right at any time during the Base Term after the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date to determine in good faith that the Property is an Uneconomic Property, which determination shall be evidenced by resolutions duly adopted by the Board of Directors of Tenant to such effect. In such event, 35 Tenant shall have the right to make an irrevocable, rejectable offer in writing to Landlord to purchase the Property on the terms set forth below. The purchase price shall be an amount such that the net proceeds of the sale in any and all circumstances shall be no less than (i) the Termination Value as set forth on Schedule 21.1 attached hereto as of the proposed closing date of the purchase, which shall be a Termination Value Date, and (ii) all Base Rent and Supplemental Rent due as of such Termination Value Date, and (iii) an amount equal to the Make-Whole Premium, if any, payable with respect to the Indenture Notes outstanding as of such Termination Value Date, and (iv) all actual out-of - -pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, reasonably incurred by Landlord.

Landlord shall have a period of ninety (90) days after its receipt of such writing to elect whether to accept Tenant's offer to purchase the Property or reject such offer. Failure by the Landlord to respond within such ninety (90) day period shall be deemed an acceptance by Landlord of Tenant's offer, In the event Landlord rejects Tenant's offer to purchase, this Lease shall terminate as of the Termination Value Date and Tenant shall be obligated to pay to Landlord all unpaid Rent with respect to the Property due on or prior to, and (without duplication) all unpaid Rent accruing and unpaid through, such Termination Value Date. No such rejection by Landlord shall be effective at any time that the Lien of the Indenture shall be in effect unless the Indenture Trustee shall have given its consent thereto in writing prior to the delivery by Landlord of its election to reject the offer to purchase. In the event Landlord accepts Tenant's offer to purchase the Property, but the purchase shall thereafter fail to close due to circumstances not attributable to Tenant, then Tenant's rights under this Section shall be renewed and exercisable; provided, however, that Tenant's rights under this Section shall be renewed and exercisable on only one additional occasion, other than in the event failure to close is due to circumstances attributable solely to Landlord (in which event, Tenant's rights under this Section shall be fully reinstated). (b) In the event Landlord accepts, or is deemed to have accepted, Tenant's offer to purchase, the provisions of Article 22 below shall be operative. In such event Tenant agrees to vacate the Property, and to cause all of its Affiliates to vacate the Property, for a period of at least three (3) consecutive years, commencing as of the Termination Value Date. (c) In the event Landlord accepts, or is deemed to accept, Tenant's offer to purchase, Tenant may commence marketing of the Property at its sole cost and expense and may require Landlord to execute documents to effectuate a sale provided such documents are contemplated by Article 22 below. If a sale closes on the Termination Value Date, the net proceeds of any sale (after payment of all expenses of the sale and all actual out of pocket costs incurred by Landlord, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) shall be received by Landlord or, so long as the Lien of the Indenture has not been discharged in accordance with Section 3 thereof, the Indenture Trustee, and shall be netted against the Termination Value payment payable by Tenant to Landlord. Any amounts received in excess of 36 the Termination Value shall be for Landlord's account. In the event there is any shortfall between the net proceeds received by Landlord from such sale and the amount of the Termination Value, Tenant shall pay such shortfall and any other amounts due hereunder on or prior to such Termination Value Date. In all events, the amounts (other than Excluded Amounts) payable pursuant to subsections (a)(i)-(iv) above shall be payable by Tenant at the closing to the Landlord or, so long as the Lien of the Indenture has not been discharged in accordance with Section 3 thereof, the Indenture Trustee. (d) If the Tenant shall fail to pay all amounts due under and pursuant to this Section 21.1 on the scheduled Termination Value Date, no sale shall be consummated and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. The Landlord shall be under no duty to solicit bids, to inquire into the efforts of the Tenant to obtain bids or otherwise to take any action in connection with any sale other than to sell the Property as provided herein.
