2. Assumption. Assignee hereby assumes the covenants, agreements and obligations of Assignor relating solely to the Hilton Portfolio Properties which first accrue under the Master Lease and the Sublease from and after the Effective Date and does not assume any such covenants, agreements and obligations accruing prior to the Effective Date.

3. Release of Rights and Obligations. From and after the Effective Date, Assignor shall have no further rights in or obligations to the extent accruing, from and after the Effective Date, under the Sublease but is not released from any of its obligations to Sublessee under the Sublease accruing prior to the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Assignor shall remain responsible for: (a) rent due under the Master Lease for 2011 for the Hilton Portfolio Properties, (b) certain indemnity obligations as provided in Section 5 of that certain Fourth Amendment to Lease between Landlord and Assignor of even date and (c) all obligations of Assignor to Sublessee under the Sublease accruing prior to the Effective Date.

(c) To the Sublessee’s knowledge, Assignor is not in default in the performance or observance of its obligations under the Sublease; and

To the extent Rent for month in which the Effective Date is received by either Assignor or Assignee following the Effective Date, the recipient shall promptly pay to the non-recipient, such non-recipient’s pro rata share of such rent. “Sublease Percentage Rent” (as defined in the Sublease) for year 2011 shall, to the extent paid by Sublessee, be prorated (with a proration adjustment of the Effective Date) between the Assignor and Assignee promptly after Assignee’s or Assignee’s receipt thereof.

FOURTH AMENDMENT TO LEASE

This FOURTH AMENDMENT TO LEASE (this “Amendment”) amends that certain lease between RLH PARTNERSHIP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Landlord”), and RED LION HOTELS HOLDINGS, INC. (formerly known as Red Lion Hotels Inc.) a Delaware corporation (“Red Lion”) dated August 1, 1995 as amended by a First Amendment, Second Amendment and Third Amendment (the “Lease”), effective                     , 2011 (the “Effective Date”).

WHEREAS, under the terms of the Lease, Landlord initially leased to Red Lion seventeen (17) hotels located in California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Utah and Washington (the “Hotels”); and

WHEREAS, one of the Hotels which is located in Astoria, Oregon is no longer subject to the Lease, and was removed from the Lease by Agreement dated May 21, 2010; and

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Amendment, Red Lion and an Affiliate of Red Lion are purchasing ten (10) of the Hotels which are listed on Exhibit A (the “Sale Properties”) under the terms of an Agreement to Purchase Eight Hotels and Assume Leases between Landlord and Red Lion of even date and an Agreement to Purchase Two Hotels between Landlord and an affiliate of Red Lion of even date (the “Purchase Agreements”); and

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Amendment, all of the interests in and obligations of Red Lion with respect to five (5) of the Hotels listed on Exhibit B (the “Hilton Portfolio Properties”) are being assigned to an Affiliate of Landlord under the terms of an Assignment and Assumption of Leases between Red Lion and an affiliate of Landlord (the “Sublease Assignee”) of even date (the “Lease Assignment”); and

WHEREAS, Landlord and Red Lion, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Amendment, have agreed to enter into an amended and restated sublease for one of the Hotels, which is located in Vancouver, Washington (the “Vancouver Property”) between Landlord and Red Lion of even date herewith (the “Restated Vancouver Sublease”); and

WHEREAS, capitalized terms in this Amendment which are not defined herein shall have the meanings defined in the Lease; and

WHEREAS, Landlord and Red Lion desire to amend the Lease and memorialize certain agreements.

NOW, THEREFORE, Landlord and Red Lion hereby agree as follows:

1. Lease Split and Sale Properties. Effective as of the Effective Date, the Lease shall: (a) terminate in accordance with Section 16.1 of the Lease with respect to the Hotels collectively comprising the Sale Properties, and from and after the Effective Date, Landlord shall not lease the Sale Properties to Red Lion and Red Lion shall not lease the Sale Properties from Landlord; and (b) be split into (i) a restated sublease for the Vancouver Property which shall be amended and restated as contemplated in Section 2, and (ii) a lease for the Hilton Portfolio Properties, which shall be assigned as contemplated by Section 3. The Lease, without giving effect to the terms and provisions of this Amendment, is sometimes referred to herein as the “Pre-Closing Lease.”


2. Vancouver Properties. From and after the Effective Date, the Lease will no longer apply to the Vancouver Property except to the extent amended and restated in the Restated Vancouver Sublease.

3. Lease Assignment. Effective as of the Effective Date, Sublease Assignee shall assume the obligations of Red Lion under the Lease with respect to the Hotels constituting the Hilton Portfolio Properties to the extent accruing from and after the Effective Date under the terms of the Lease Assignment. Effective as of the Effective Date, Red Lion shall no longer be the Tenant under the Lease and Sublease Assignee shall henceforth be the Tenant.

4. Remaining Red Lion Obligations. From and after the Effective Date, it is agreed that except as provided in the Lease Assignment and the Restated Vancouver Sublease, Landlord shall not be entitled to assert any claim against Red Lion arising under or in connection with the Lease except with respect to: (1) rent due for 2011; and (2) Red Lion’s indemnification obligations under Section 5 of this Amendment.

6. Defense of Indemnified Parties. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement or assertion against it of any claim, action, or proceeding covered under Section 5, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against Red Lion under this Section 6, notify Red Lion thereof; but the omission so to notify Red Lion shall not relieve Red Lion from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that Red Lion shall have been prejudiced by such failure. Provided that representation by counsel selected by Red Lion will not, in Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment (which judgment may be based on, without limitation, due consideration of any obligations such Indemnified party may have to indemnify other parties in connection with the same matter, including requirements as to right of contest, time to indemnification and undertaking of defense of such other parties), prejudice Indemnified Party in any manner, Red Lion, at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified Party, to contest, resist and defend any claim, action or proceeding with respect to which it shall have received the Notice described in the preceding sentence; provided, however, that Red Lion may not compromise or otherwise dispose of the same without the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed so long as the Indemnified Party receives a full release with respect to the claim, action or proceeding. If in Indemnified Party’s judgment, representation by counsel selected by Red Lion will prejudice Indemnified Party in any manner, such Indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel and defend such action. If Red Lion shall have assumed responsibility for such contest and defense, Red Lion shall not be obligated to pay any attorneys’ fees or other legal costs incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnified Party shall, at Red Lion’s request and expense, cooperate with Red Lion, at no cost or expense to the Indemnified party, in the defense of any such claim, action or proceeding.

7. Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, and successors and assigns of Landlord and Red Lion; provided, however, Red Lion shall not assign Red Lion’s rights and obligations hereunder. Any such assignment in violation of this provision shall be void.

8. Further Assurances. Landlord and Red Lion shall promptly perform, execute and deliver or cause to be performed, executed and/or delivered at or after the Effective Date any and all acts, deeds and assurances as either party may reasonably require in order to carry out the intent and purpose of this Amendment.

9. Amendment. This Amendment cannot be changed, amended, supplemented or terminated orally.

10. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in one (1) or more counterparts, and all the counterparts shall constitute but one and the same agreement, notwithstanding that all parties hereto are not signatory to the same or original counterpart. This Amendment may be executed and delivered by telecopy, pdf or similar electronic transmittal.

11. Nonwaiver. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, no waiver by Landlord or Red Lion of any provision hereof shall be deemed to have been made if such waiver is made orally. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy accruing to Landlord or Red Lion upon any breach under this Amendment shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver of any such breach theretofore or thereafter occurring. The waiver by Landlord or Red Lion of any breach of any term, covenant or condition herein stated shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other term, covenant or condition. All rights or remedies afforded to Landlord or Red Lion hereunder or by law shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise of one right or remedy shall not bar other rights or remedies allowed herein or by law. Landlord executes and delivers this Amendment in its own capacity and in its capacity as Landlord. Red Lion executes and delivers this Amendment in its own capacity and in its capacity as Tenant.

12. Captions. Paragraph titles or captions contained herein are inserted as a matter of convenience and for reference, and in no way define, limit, extent or describe the scope of this Amendment.

13. Estoppel. Red Lion certifies that it has no knowledge of any defaults by Landlord under the Lease and Landlord certifies that it has no knowledge of any default by Red Lion under the Lease except (a) Landlord’s assertion that Red Lion failed to provide all of the required insurance in respect of the Hotel located in Sacramento, California (“Insurance Default”) and (b) failure to maintain all of the Hotels in accordance with requirements of the Lease (“Maintenance Defaults,” and, together with the “Insurance Default,” the “Lease Defaults”), but, without waiving rights to indemnification under Section 5 of this Amendment or the provisions the Restated Vancouver Lease or any other of Red Lion’s obligations under the Restated Vancouver Sublease, Landlord waives the Lease Defaults,

14. Purchase Agreements. Nothing contained in this Assignment modifies the rights and obligations of the parties to the Purchase Agreements pursuant to Article XV of each of the Purchase Agreements.

15. Non-recourse. The liability of Landlord under this Amendment is subject to, and limited by, the terms and provisions of Section 22.24 of the Lease.

B. Pursuant to that certain Restated Vancouver Sublease of even date between Seller and Holdings (the “Restated Vancouver Sublease”), Holdings will continue to sublease from Seller a hotel property located in Vancouver, Washington.

C. Guarantor is an indirect owner of the equity in Buyers, and Guarantor will benefit materially from the sale of the Property to Buyers.

D. The delivery of this Guaranty is a condition to Seller’s obligation to purchase the Property and Seller would not have closed such purchase without the delivery of this Guaranty.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which Guarantor acknowledges, Guarantor agrees as follows:

1. Guaranty of Payment and Performance. Guarantor hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and absolutely guarantees the prompt payment and performance of the “Guaranteed Obligations” (as hereinafter defined). This Guaranty is a guarantee of payment and performance and not of collection. As used herein, “Guaranteed Obligations” means (A) all of Buyers’ obligations to Seller under the Purchase Agreements that accrue or are otherwise to be paid or performed by the Buyers, including, without limitation, (1) any and all amounts that Buyers may hereafter owe Seller under the Purchase Agreements (a) for breach of Buyers’ representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreements or (b) under any indemnification provision of the Purchase Agreements, and (2) any and all covenants or undertakings by Buyers to be performed under the Purchase Agreements and (B) all of Holdings’ obligations under the Restated Vancouver Sublease. Upon the failure by Buyers to pay or perform any Guaranteed Obligation, Guarantor shall, upon demand by Seller, itself promptly pay or cause to be performed such Guaranteed Obligation (or, if such Guaranteed Obligation is non-monetary and Guarantor cannot or does not cause it to be performed, promptly pay the damages suffered by Seller from such non-performance).


2. Guarantor’s Obligations Independent. Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall be primary and this Guaranty shall be enforceable against Guarantor and its successors without the necessity for any suit or proceeding of any kind or nature whatsoever brought by Seller against Buyers.

3. Liability. Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty with respect to the Purchase Agreements is limited to the extent that the Purchase Agreements limit Buyers’ liability with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, including limitations on the amount of any claims and the time periods during which claims may be asserted.

4. Guarantor’s Representations and Warranties. Guarantor represents, warrants and covenants that:

(a) Guarantor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing as a corporation under the laws of the state of Washington; has full power to enter into this Guaranty and fulfill its obligations hereunder; has authorized its execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty by all necessary corporate action; and has caused this Guaranty to be duly executed and delivered on its behalf to Seller.

(b) No government or third party approval or consent, which has not been obtained, is required for Guarantor’s execution and delivery of this Guaranty or performance of its obligations hereunder.

(c) Guarantor’s execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty do not and will not violate, and are not restricted by, any applicable law, any provision of its corporate articles or by-laws or any contractual obligation to which Guarantor is bound or by which Guarantor or any of its assets are bound.

(d) This Guaranty constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, reorganization and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in equity or at law).

(e) Guarantor is familiar with the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreements and Restated Vancouver Sublease.

5. Authorizations and Waivers Relating to Actions of Buyers.

(a) Guarantor authorizes Buyers and Seller, without notice or demand, and without affecting Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty, from time to time to modify any of the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreements and Restated Vancouver Sublease by arrangement between them. Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty shall continue and Guarantor shall not have the right to limit or revoke this Guaranty upon any modification of the Purchase Agreements or Restated Vancouver Sublease.

 

2


(b) Guarantor waives any right it may have to require Seller to proceed against Buyers or any other person or entity liable under the Purchase Agreements or Restated Vancouver Sublease, or to pursue any other remedy with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.

(c) Guarantor waives any requirement of presentment, demand for performance, notice of non-payment or non-performance, protest or notice of protest, notice of dishonor, notice of any modification of any term or condition of the Purchase Agreements or Restated Vancouver Sublease, notice of extension of time for payment or performance or any other notice or demand to which Guarantor might otherwise be entitled, except for such notices as Seller is expressly required to provide to Buyers under the Purchase Agreements, the Restated Vancouver Sublease or this Guaranty.

(d) Guarantor assumes responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Buyers and of Buyers’ performance of the Guaranteed Obligations and of all other facts and circumstances bearing on the risk of nonperformance of the Guaranteed Obligations by Buyers, and Seller shall have no duty to advise Guarantor of information known to it regarding that condition or any such circumstances.

(e) At its election, Seller may exercise any right or remedy it may have against Buyers without affecting or impairing Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty, except to the extent that the Guaranteed Obligations are actually paid or performed.

Guarantor acknowledges that it has discussed with legal counsel the effect of the above waivers on rights and remedies it might otherwise have.

6. Waivers. Without limitation of any other provisions of this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby expressly waives and relinquishes all rights, remedies and defenses accorded by applicable law to guarantors and sureties and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any such rights, remedies or defenses. Without limiting in any way the foregoing, Guarantor hereby expressly waives and relinquishes:

(a) any right to require Seller, as a condition to enforcement of this Guaranty, to proceed against Buyers or any other person or to pursue any other right or remedy in Seller’s power before proceeding against Guarantor;

(b) Guarantor waives any defense arising from the absence, impairment, or loss of any right of reimbursement, contribution, or subrogation, or any other right of Guarantor against Buyers, whether resulting from the election by Seller or otherwise. Guarantor waives any defense arising from any cause whatsoever, including without limitation Seller’s act or omission, resulting in the cessation of Buyers’ liability to Seller, either in whole or in part; provided, however, the foregoing shall not be construed or deemed to (i) expand Guarantor’s liability hereunder beyond Buyers’ liability under the Purchase Agreements or (ii) limit Guarantor’s rights to object to any Seller claim to the extent Buyers has the right to object to such claim under the Purchase Agreements. Guarantor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Seller, even though that election of remedies has destroyed Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against Buyers.

 

3

(e) any and all of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution and any other rights and defenses that are or may become available to Guarantor by reason of any of the following: Sections 2787 through 2855 of the California Civil Code, inclusive, it being the intent that Seller have the full benefit of the waivers available under Section 2856 of the California Civil Code;

(g) any defense based upon the failure to give notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty by any person;

(h) any defense based upon any modification, compromise, acceleration or change in the terms of the Purchase Agreements or Restated Vancouver Sublease;

(i) any defense based upon the failure to make, give or serve demand, notice of default or nonpayment, presentment, protest and all other notices of any kind to which Guarantor might be entitled in connection with this Guaranty, the Purchase Agreements or Restated Vancouver Sublease;

(j) any defense based upon an election of remedies by Seller;

(k) any defense based upon any lack of diligence by Seller in enforcing the terms of the Purchase Agreements or Restated Vancouver Sublease;

(l) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal;

 

4


(m) any duty on the part of Seller to disclose to Guarantor any facts Seller may now or hereafter know about Buyers, regardless of whether Seller has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which Guarantor intends to assume, or has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to Guarantor, or has a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to Guarantor, it being understood and agreed that Guarantor is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Buyers and of all circumstances bearing on the risk of nonperformance of any obligations hereby guaranteed;

(n) any defense arising because of an election made by Seller under Section 1111(b)(2) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any similar statute; and

(o) any defense based on any borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code;

it being agreed by Guarantor that this Guaranty is in the nature of an absolute guarantee of payment and performance and not of collection and that the failure of Seller to exercise any rights or remedies it has or may have against Buyers shall in no way impair the obligation or liability of Guarantor hereunder.

12.4 Any contest undertaking by or on behalf of Red Lion with respect to any Legal Requirement, Insurance Requirement, tax imposition or otherwise, regardless of whether the same is permitted pursuant to the terms hereof, except in each case to the extent the same directly result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct by an Indemnified Party.

13. Environmental Indemnification. Red Lion shall pay, protect, indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties and each of them, from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, including, without limitation, claims by third parties alleging violation of or liability under any Environmental Law (as defined in the Pre-Closing Master Lease), damages (including, without limitation, punitive damages and damages to nature resources), penalties and causes of action or judgments of any nature whatsoever, both foreseen and unforeseen, howsoever and whensoever caused including, without limitation, if caused prior to the Commencement Date, without regard to the form of action and whether based on strict or statutory liability, gross negligence, negligence (including the negligence of any Indemnified Party or their agents), or any other theory of recovery at law or in equity, and all reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs of experts, and other legal costs and expenses), imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties by reason of or in connection with:

13.1 Red Lion’s failure to perform its duties and obligations as set forth in Article XII of the Pre-Closing Master Lease with respect to the Sublease Premises on or prior to the Effective Date or Section 12.1 of the Pre-Closing Master Lease as incorporated herein by reference pursuant to Section 20(m) whether prior to, on or after the Effective Date;

13.2 All claims asserted by any third party for personal or bodily injury or death where such claims allege injury or damages as a result of exposure, that occurred prior to or during the term, to Hazardous Material that existed at or were located in, on, or under, or were released from, any portion of the Sublease Premises at any time prior to or during the Term; provided, however, that this indemnity shall not cover claims arising by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord and its agents, or of an Indemnified Party and its agents; and

13.3 The violation of any Environmental Law occurring at any time on, prior to or after the Effective Date at or in connection with the leasing, use, non-use, occupancy, management or operations on any portion of the Sublease Premises; the discharge, disposal or release of any Hazardous Materials (as defined in the Pre-Closing Master Lease) at any time on or prior to the Effective Date in, on, under, at or from, or in connection with the leasing, use, non-use, occupancy, management or operations on any of the Hotel and/or any portion of the Sublease Premises; or the presence of any Hazardous Materials at any time on, prior to, or after the Effective Date in, on, under any portion of the Sublease Premises, including without limitation, any off-site migration onto any portion of the Sublease Premises.

14. Defense of Indemnified Parties. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement or assertion against it of any claim, action, proceeding, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against Red Lion under this Section 14, notify Red Lion thereof; but the omission so to notify Red Lion shall not relieve Red Lion from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party under this Section 14,

 

-6-


except to the extent that Red Lion shall have been prejudiced by such failure. As long as no Event of Default exists and provided that representation by counsel selected by Red Lion will not, in Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment (which judgment may be based on, without limitation, due consideration of any obligations such Indemnified party may have to indemnify other parties in connection with the same matter, including requirements as to right of contest, time to indemnification and undertaking of defense of such other parties), prejudice Indemnified Party in any manner, Red Lion, at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified Party, to contest, resist and defend any claim, action or proceeding with respect to which it shall have received the Notice described in the preceding sentence; provided, however, that Red Lion may not compromise or otherwise dispose of the same without the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed so long as the Indemnified Party receives a full release with respect to the claim, action or proceeding. If an Event of Default exists, or, in Indemnified Party’s judgment, representation by counsel selected by Red Lion will prejudice Indemnified Party in any manner, such Indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel and defend such action. If Red Lion shall have assumed responsibility for such contest and defense, Red Lion shall not be obligated to pay any attorneys’ fees or other legal costs incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnified party unless an Event of Default exists. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnified party shall, at Red Lion’s request and expense, cooperate with Red Lion, at no cost or expense to the Indemnified party, in the defense of any such claim, action, or proceeding.

15. Surrender. Subtenant agrees that at termination of this Sublease, Subtenant will quit and surrender the Sublease Premises, provided, however, upon surrender, Subtenant may remove any and all of its Personal Property located on the Sublease Premises unless termination is or account of Section 17, in which event, such Personal Property will, at the option of Sublandlord, be surrendered (together with title thereto) to the Landlord. If this Sublease is terminated as a result of a Taking, Subtenant will have no obligation to repair any nonmaterial damage caused as a result of the removal of such Personal Property unless such repair is required pursuant to the Ground Leases or by the Condemnor.

16. No Assignment or Subletting. Subtenant shall not assign all or any portion of its interest under this Sublease or sublet all or any portion of the Sublease Premises without the prior written consent of Sublandlord. This Sublease shall not be assignable by operation of law.

17. Default. If any of the following occur, then Sublandlord may treat the occurrence of any one or more of the foregoing events as a default by Subtenant under this Sublease, and thereupon, Sublandlord may terminate this Sublease and/or pursue any and all other rights and remedies provided Sublandlord at law or in equity or granted to Ground Leases Landlords under the Ground Leases or that are available under Section 20.2 of the Pre-Closing Master Lease:

(a) If Subtenant fails to make any payment due hereunder within three (3) days after written notice that such sum were not received on the due date thereof;

(b) If Subtenant shall fail to perform any material term, covenant or condition of this Sublease and such failure is not cured by Subtenant within a period of 30 days after receipt by Subtenant of notice thereof from Sublandlord, unless such failure cannot with

 

-7-


diligence be cured within a period of 30 days, in which case, such failure shall not be deemed to continue if Subtenant proceeds promptly and with diligence to cure the failure and diligently completes the curing thereof in no event later than 180 days after receipt of such notice, provided, however, that such 180-day limitation shall not apply with respect to cure by Subtenant of defaults in its obligations under Section 12.1 of the Pre-Closing Master Lease (as incorporated by reference into this Sublease), so long as Subtenant has promptly commenced to cure said default within the initial 30-day period, and thereafter diligently prosecutes the cure to completion and provided further that such notice described above shall, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, be in lieu of and not in addition to any notice required under applicable law;

(c) If Subtenant shall:

(i) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due,

(ii) file a petition in bankruptcy or a petition to take advantage of any insolvency act,

(iii) make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors;

(iv) consent to the appointment of a receiver of itself or of the whole or any substantial part of its property, or

(v) file a petition or answer seeking reorganization or arrangement under the Federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable law or statute of the United States of America or any state thereof;

(d) If Subtenant shall, on a petition in bankruptcy filed against it, be adjudicated as bankrupt or a court of competent jurisdiction shall enter an order or decree appointing, without the consent of Subtenant, a receiver of Subtenant or of the whole substantially all of its property, or approving a petition filed against it seeking reorganization or arrangement of Subtenant under the federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable law or statute of the United States of America or any state thereof;

(e) If Subtenant shall be liquidated or dissolved, or shall begin proceedings toward such liquidation or dissolution; or

(f) If the estate or interest of Subtenant in the Sublease Premises or any part thereof shall be levied upon or attached in any proceeding and the same shall not be vacated or discharged within the later of 90 days after commencement thereof or 30 days after receipt by Subtenant notice thereof from Landlord (unless Subtenant shall be contesting such lien or attachment in accordance with the terms of this Lease); provided, however, that such notice shall, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, be in lieu of and not in addition to any notice required under applicable law.

18. Subrogation Waiver. Sublandlord and Subtenant each waive any and all right of recovery against the other, or against the officers, employees, agents and representatives of the

 

-8-


other for loss of or damage to such waiving party or its property or the property of others under its control, for such loss or damages to property insured against under any property insurance policy in force at the time of such loss or damage. This waiver of subrogation shall apply to the full extent, but only to the extent, that the same shall be valid and enforceable without impairment of insurance policies.

19. Access. Subtenant will allow Sublandlord, its agents, lenders, insurers, and consultants, free access to the Sublease Premises at all reasonable times for the purpose of examination, testing and inspection of the Sublease Premises and for the purpose of exhibiting the Sublease Premises to prospective or actual lenders, purchasers, investors and tenants.

No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy accruing to Sublandlord or Subtenant upon any breach under this Sublease shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver of any such breach theretofore or thereafter occurring. The waiver by Sublandlord or Subtenant of any breach of any term, covenant or condition herein stated shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other term, covenant or condition. All rights or remedies afforded to Sublandlord or Subtenant hereunder or by law shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise of one right or remedy shall not bar other rights or remedies allowed herein or by law.
