B.            On the Original Closing Date, the Lessor, through the proceeds of the Advance, purchased the Site and the Facility from Seller free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens and Lessor leased the Leased Property, inclusive of Lessor’s leasehold interest in the Site, to Lessee pursuant to the Second A&R Lease.

 

C.            Lessor and Lessee desire and intend to amend, restate and supersede the Second A&R Lease in its entirety effective as of the Restatement Date.

E.            It is the intent of the parties hereto that this Lease (i) shall amend, restate and supersede in its entirety the Second A&R Lease and (ii) shall not constitute a novation of the obligations and liabilities of the parties under the Second A&R Lease or any other Operative Document).

 

Now, Therefore, in consideration of the foregoing, and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree that the Second A&R Lease is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows effective as of the Restatement Date:

Article II

Section 2.1.      Acceptance and Lease of the Leased Property. (a) Lessor, pursuant to the terms of the Operative Documents as in effect on the Original Closing Date, has purchased the Site and the Facility from Sellers.

 

(b)            Pursuant to the Second A&R Lease, Lessor leased all of Lessor’s interest in the Leased Property to Lessee, and Lessee leased, pursuant to the terms thereof, the Leased Property from Lessor for the Term (as defined in the Second A&R Lease). Lessor hereby continues to lease all of Lessor’s interest in the Leased Property to Lessee hereunder, and Lessee hereby continues to lease, pursuant to the terms hereof, the Leased Property from Lessor for the Term.

 

Section 2.2.      Acceptance Procedure. Pursuant to the Second A&R Lease, Lessor authorized Lessee, as the authorized representative of Lessor, to accept delivery of the Leased Property upon the Base Term Commencement Date.

Section 2.3.      Term. Lessor and Lessee acknowledge and agree that the Base Term as defined in and provided for in the First A&R Lease was renewed, effective as of the Second Restatement Date, for a renewal term (the “First Renewal Term”) commencing on and including the Second Restatement Date and ending on, but not including, the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Second Restatement Date unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms of this Lease. Unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms of this Lease, the term of this Lease shall include (i) the Base Term (under and as defined in the First A&R Lease) expiring on, but not including, the Second Restatement Date (the “Base Term”), (ii) the First Renewal Term, and, (ii) if exercised and approved pursuant to each of the terms and conditions of Section 4.7 of the Participation Agreement and the terms of this Lease (including Article XIX hereof), one or more additional Lease Renewal Terms (the Base Term, the First Renewal Term and any additional Lease Renewal Terms being collectively referred to as, the “Term”).

 

 

Section 2.4.      Title. The Leased Property is leased to the Lessee without any representation or warranty, express or implied, by Lessor and subject to the rights of parties in possession, the existing state of title with respect thereto (including, without limitation, all Liens other than Lessor Liens) and all Applicable Laws and any violations thereof. The Lessee shall in no event have any recourse against Lessor for any defect in or exception to title to the Leased Property other than resulting from Lessor Liens attributable to Lessor or a breach by Lessor of its obligations under Article XXI hereto.

 

Article III
Payment of Rent

 

Section 3.1.      Rent. (a) During the Term, the Lessee shall pay Basic Rent (i) on each Payment Date, (ii) on the date required under Section 20.1(j) if the Lessee exercises the Sale Option and (iii) on any date on which this Lease shall terminate or expire with respect to the Leased Property.

 

(b)            The Lessee’s inability or failure to take possession of all or any portion of the Leased Property when accepted or deemed accepted hereunder, whether or not attributable to any act or omission of the Lessee or any act or omission of Lessor, shall not delay or otherwise affect the Lessee’s obligation to pay Rent in accordance with the terms of this Lease.

 

Section 3.2.      Payment of Basic Rent. Basic Rent shall be paid absolutely net to Lessor, so that this Lease shall yield to Lessor the full amount thereof, without setoff, deduction or reduction.

 

Section 3.3.      Supplemental Rent. The Lessee shall pay to Lessor or the Person entitled thereto any and all Supplemental Rent promptly as the same shall become due and payable, and if the Lessee fails to pay any Supplemental Rent, Lessor shall have all rights, powers and remedies provided for herein or by law or equity or otherwise in the case of nonpayment of Basic Rent; provided that Supplemental Rent (other than Supplemental Rent consisting of any of the Lease Balance, the Sale Option Recourse Amount, the Purchase Amount, Break Costs and any amounts payable at the Overdue Rate and any amounts payable under Article XIII of the Participation Agreement) shall not be deemed due and payable by Lessee to the Person entitled thereto unless such amount is not paid within thirty (30) days after Lessee has received written notice of such Supplemental Rent from the Person entitled thereto. Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as Supplemental Rent, among other things, on demand, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, interest at the applicable Overdue Rate (i) on any installment of Basic Rent not paid when due for the period for which the same shall be overdue and (ii) on any payment of Supplemental Rent payable to Lessor or any Indemnitee not paid when due and payable as provided above for the period from the due date until the same shall be paid.

Payments received after 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date due shall for the purpose of Section 16.1 hereof be deemed received on such day; provided, however, that for the purposes of the second sentence of Section 3.3 hereof, such payments shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and subject to interest at the Overdue Rate as provided in such Section 3.3.

 

Article IV
Non-Interference; Right To Inspect

 

Section 4.1.      Non-Interference. Subject to Section 2.4 and Section 4.2 herein and subject to Lessor’s cure rights, as provided for in Section 17.1, Lessor covenants that it will not interfere in Lessee’s use or possession of the Leased Property during the Term, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, it being agreed that Lessee shall not have a right of setoff against Rent payable hereunder and Lessee’s remedies for breach of the foregoing covenant shall be limited to a claim for damages or the commencement of proceedings to enjoin such breach or seek specific performance of the covenant, as applicable. Such right is independent of and shall not affect Lessee’s obligations hereunder and under the other Operative Documents or Lessor’s rights otherwise to initiate legal action to enforce the obligations of Lessee under this Lease. The foregoing covenant shall not require Lessor to take any action contrary to, or which would permit Lessee to use the Leased Property for a use not permitted under, the provisions of this Lease.

 

Section 4.2.      Inspection and Reports. (a) Upon three (3) Business Days prior notice (or one (1) Business Day prior notice during the existence of an Event of Default) to Lessee and subject to the provisions of Section 15.14 of the Participation Agreement, Lessor, the Administrative Agent or their respective authorized representatives (collectively, the “Inspecting Parties”) at any time during the Term may inspect (i) the Leased Property and (ii) the Leased Property Records and make copies and abstracts therefrom and may discuss the affairs, finances and accounts with respect to the Leased Property with Lessee’s relevant authorized representatives and Lessee’s independent public accountants (provided that the Lessee shall have received reasonable notice thereof and a reasonable opportunity to participate in such discussion) (and, if such participation is elected, Lessee participated). All such inspections shall (w) be subject to the rights of all tenants and other occupants at the Leased Property, (x) be performed at reasonable times during Lessee’s normal business hours, (y) be subject to Lessee’s customary safety and security provisions and any reasonable rules of inspection conduct Lessee may establish from time to time, and (z) be at the expense and risk of the Inspecting Parties, except that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessee shall reimburse on demand the Inspecting Parties for the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs of such inspections. Lessee shall have the right, at its option, to cause a representative or agent of Lessee to be present at any and all time during each such inspection. No inspection shall unreasonably interfere with Lessee’s or any tenant’s or occupant’s business or operations or otherwise unreasonably disturb the use or occupancy of the Leased Property by the Lessee or any tenants or other occupants of the Leased Property. None of the Inspecting Parties shall have any duty to make any such inspection or inquiry. None of the Inspecting Parties shall incur any liability or obligation by reason of making any such inspection or inquiry unless and to the extent such Inspecting Party causes damage to the Leased Property or any property of Lessee or any other Person during the course of such inspection.

Article V
Net Lease, Etc.

 

Section 5.1.      Net Lease. This Lease shall constitute a net lease and Lessee’s obligations hereunder, including the obligation to pay Rent, shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances, subject to Lessee’s rights to contest amounts (other than Basic Rent, the Lease Balance, the Sale Option Recourse Amount or the Purchase Amount) owed. Any present or future law to the contrary notwithstanding, this Lease shall not terminate, nor shall the Lessee be entitled to any abatement, suspension, deferment, reduction, setoff, counterclaim, or defense with respect to the Rent, nor shall the obligations of the Lessee hereunder be affected (except as expressly herein permitted and by performance of the obligations in connection herewith) by reason of: (i) any defect in the condition, merchantability, design, construction, quality or fitness for use of the Leased Property or any part thereof, or the failure of the Leased Property or any part thereof to comply with all Applicable Laws, including any inability to use the Leased Property or any part thereof by reason of such non-compliance; (ii) any damage to, removal, abandonment, salvage, loss, contamination of, Release from, or other environmental condition with respect to, scrapping or destruction of or any requisition or taking of the Leased Property or any part thereof; (iii) any restriction, prevention or curtailment of or interference with any use of the Leased Property or any part thereof; (iv) any defect in title to or rights to the Leased Property or any part thereof or any Lien on such title or rights or on the Leased Property or any part thereof (provided, that the foregoing shall not relieve any Person from its responsibility to remove Lessor Liens attributable to it); (v) any change, waiver, extension, indulgence or other action or omission or breach in respect of any obligation or liability of or by Lessor, Administrative Agent or any Participant; (vi) to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws, any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceedings relating to Lessee, Lessor, the Administrative Agent, any Participant or any other Person, or any action taken with respect to this Lease by any trustee or receiver of the Lessee, Lessor, the Administrative Agent, any Participant or any other Person, or by any court, in any such proceeding; (vii) any claim that the Lessee has or might have against any Person, including without limitation any Participant, vendor, manufacturer, contractor of or for the Leased Property or any part thereof; (viii) any failure on the part of Lessor, the Administrative Agent or any Participant to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Lease or any other Operative Document or of any other agreement; (ix) any invalidity or unenforceability or illegality or disaffirmance of this Lease against or by the Lessee or any provision hereof or any of the other Operative Documents or any provision of any thereof; (x) the impossibility or illegality of performance by Lessee, Lessor or both; (xi) any action by any court, administrative agency or other Governmental Authority; (xii) any restriction, prevention or curtailment of or interference with the use of the Leased Property or any part thereof; (xiii) the failure of Lessee or any of its Subsidiaries to achieve any accounting or tax benefits; or (xiv) any other cause or circumstances whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing and whether or not the Lessee shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing. The Lessee’s agreement in the preceding sentence shall not affect any claim, action or right the Lessee may have against any Person. The parties intend that the obligations of the Lessee hereunder shall be covenants and agreements that are separate and independent from any obligations of Lessor hereunder or under any other Operative Documents and the obligations of the Lessee shall continue unaffected unless such obligations shall have been modified or terminated in accordance with an express provision of this Lease.

 

 

Section 5.2.      No Termination or Abatement. The Lessee shall remain obligated under this Lease in accordance with its terms and the terms of the other Operative Documents to which Lessee or an Affiliate of Lessee is a party and shall not take any action to terminate, rescind or avoid this Lease (except as provided herein or in the other Operative Documents) to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws, notwithstanding any action for bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, or other proceeding affecting Lessor, the Administrative Agent or any Participant, or any action with respect to this Lease which may be taken by any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Lessor, the Administrative Agent or any Participant or by any court with respect to Lessor, the Administrative Agent or any Participant. The Lessee hereby waives all right to terminate or surrender this Lease (except as provided herein or in the other Operative Documents) or to avail itself of any abatement, suspension, deferment, reduction, setoff, counterclaim or defense with respect to any Rent payable to any Participant or the Administrative Agent. The Lessee shall remain obligated under this Lease in accordance with its terms and the terms of the other Operative Documents to which Lessee or an Affiliate of Lessee is a party and the Lessee hereby waives any and all rights conferred as of the Restatement Date or thereafter by statute or otherwise to modify or to avoid strict compliance with its obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding any such statute or otherwise, the Lessee shall be bound by all of the terms and conditions contained in this Lease.

 

Article VI

Except for assignments and subleases permitted by this Article VI and Permitted Liens, Lessee may not sublease, assign, mortgage, pledge or otherwise transfer to any Person, including an Affiliate or Subsidiary of Lessee, at any time, in whole or in part, any of its right, title or interest in, to or under this Lease, any other Operative Document or any portion of the Leased Property (except a purchase or sale of the Leased Property as permitted in Articles XVIII and XIX herein), in any case without the prior written consent of Lessor and the Participants and any such sublease, assignment, mortgage, pledge or transfer made without such consent shall be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee may, without the consent of Lessor, the Administrative Agent or any of the Participants, (A) assign all of its rights in the Operative Documents to Parent Guarantor or any Domestic Subsidiary of Parent Guarantor (an “Affiliate Transferee”) (subject to applicable know your customer rules) so long as (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing or shall occur immediately after giving effect thereto, (ii) the current Lessee provides a joinder to the Guaranty (in the form attached thereto) of the obligations of such Affiliate Transferee (if other than the Parent Guarantor) under the Operative Documents, and the Guaranty otherwise remains in full force and effect (including the representations, warranties and covenants of the Parent Guarantor), and (iii) such Affiliate Transferee is not subject to any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings at the time of such assignment, and (B) the Lessee may, so long as no Event of Default exists and is continuing, enter into subleases with any Person; provided (i) such Person shall not then be subject to any proceedings for relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or laws relating to the relief of debtors; (ii) no Event of Default shall then exist; (iii) the Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect; (iv) such sublease shall not discharge or diminish any of Lessee’s obligations to Lessor hereunder or to any other Person under any other Operative Document, it being understood that Lessee shall remain directly and primarily liable under this Lease with respect to all of the Leased Property; (v) solely with respect to subleases to any Subsidiary or Affiliate of Lessee, such sublease shall not extend beyond the last day of the Term; (vi) such sublease entered into after the Original Closing Date shall be made and shall expressly provide that it is subject and subordinate to this Lease and the rights of Lessor hereunder, provided that, in connection with any such sublease to a Person other than an Affiliate or Subsidiary of Lessee, and as a condition to the foregoing subordination, the sublessee shall benefit from customary non-disturbance protections, including that such sublessee not be disturbed in its occupancy of the subleased premises, and Lessor shall, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, enter into a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in form and substance as set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto or that is otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and Lessee to confirm the foregoing (it being understood that any such subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement that was in effect immediately prior to the Restatement Date pursuant to the Second A&R Lease shall not be required to be re-executed or modified in connection with the restatement of the Second A&R Lease on the Restatement Date); (vii) such sublease contains market terms and conditions and permits a use that is consistent with existing use of the Leased Property; and (viii) any such sublease to any Person who is not either an Affiliate or Subsidiary of Lessee, when aggregated with all other subleases to Persons who are not either Affiliates or Subsidiaries of Lessee, shall not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the square footage of the gross leaseable area of the Leased Property; provided, however, that for purposes of the foregoing threshold, the Home Depot Ground Lease shall not be taken into account.

 

 

Lessee shall give Lessor prompt written notice of any assignment or sublease permitted under this Article VI, and Lessee shall, within fifteen (15) days after execution of any such assignment or sublease, deliver to the Administrative Agent a fully executed copy of such assignment or sublease and a certificate regarding compliance with the foregoing conditions. Lessee shall perform, at its sole cost and expense, any and all obligations with respect to each lease or sublease, as the case may be, for any portion of the Leased Property, whether such lease or sublease was in effect as of the Original Closing Date, is in effect as of the Restatement Date or is entered into thereafter.

 

Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease or any of the other Operative Documents to the contrary, Lessee may, without the consent to Lessor, the Administrative Agent or any of the Participants, amend, restate, modify, supplement, extend, terminate or waive the terms of any sublease subject to the requirements of this Article VI.

 

Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Lessee receives written notice from Lessor or the Administrative Agent directing Lessee to pay to Administrative Agent any rents, issues, revenues, profits or other income (including all deposits of money as advanced rent or for security) received by Lessee under any sublease, Lessee shall have the right to retain, use and enjoy such rents, issues, revenues, profits and other income, and upon the cure of any such Event of Default, Lessee shall resume the right to receive, retain, use and enjoy such rents, issues, revenues, profits and other income.

 

Article VII
Lessee Acknowledgments

 

Section 7.1.      Condition of the Leased Property. The Lessee acknowledges and agrees that although Lessor will own and hold record title to the Leased Property, the Lessee, acting as Agent pursuant to the power of attorney granted to the Lessee by Lessor hereunder, is solely responsible for any alterations or modifications and all activities conducted in connection therewith including the obtaining of all permits required in accordance with Applicable Law. The Lessee further acknowledges and agrees that it is leasing the Leased Property “as is” without representation, warranty or covenant (express or implied) by Lessor, the Administrative Agent or the Participants and in each case subject to (a) the existing state of title (excluding Lessor Liens), (b) the rights of any parties in possession thereof, (c) any state of facts which an accurate survey or a physical inspection might show and (d) violations of requirements of Applicable Law with respect to the Leased Property, Lessee or its operations on or with respect to the Leased Property which may exist on the Restatement Date or thereafter. None of Lessor, the Administrative Agent or the Participants has made or shall be deemed to have made any representation, warranty or covenant (express or implied except as expressly provided in the Operative Documents) or shall be deemed to have any liability whatsoever as to the title (other than for Lessor Liens), value, habitability, use, condition (including environmental condition), design, operation, or fitness for use of the Leased Property (or any part thereof), or any other representation, warranty or covenant whatsoever, express or implied, with respect to the Leased Property (or any part thereof) and none of Lessor, the Administrative Agent or any of the Participants shall be liable for any latent, hidden, or patent defect therein (other than for Lessor Liens) or the failure of the Leased Property, or any part thereof, to comply with any Applicable Laws. All risks incident to the matters discussed in the preceding sentence, as between Lessor, the Administrative Agent and the Participants, on the one hand, and Lessee, on the other, are to be borne by Lessee. The provisions of this Section 7.1 have been negotiated, and, except to the extent otherwise expressly stated (including, without limitation, as expressly provided in Section 15.15 or 15.16 of the Participation Agreement, as applicable), the foregoing provisions are intended to be a complete exclusion and negation of any representations or warranties by any of Lessor, the Administrative Agent or the Participants, express or implied, with respect to the Leased Property (or any interest therein), other than the obligation to remove Lessor Liens attributable to it, that may arise pursuant to any law in effect as of the Restatement Date or thereafter or otherwise.

All such charges imposed with respect to the Leased Property for a billing period during which this Lease expires or terminates (except when Lessee purchases the Leased Property in accordance with the terms of this Lease, in which case Lessee shall be solely responsible for all such charges) shall be adjusted and prorated on a daily basis between Lessee and Lessor or any purchaser of the Leased Property, and each party shall pay or reimburse the other for each party’s pro rata share thereof; provided, that in no event shall Lessor have any liability therefor. Lessee shall perform all obligations required to be performed by Lessor under the Tax Abatement Documents. Lessee hereby agrees to perform all obligations of Lessor, including without limitation, the payment of any pro-rations under the Purchase Agreement from and after the Original Closing Date (excluding, the payment of the Purchase Price). Lessee shall be entitled to receive any credit or refund received by the Lessor on account of any utility charges paid by Lessee, net of the costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Lessor in obtaining such credit or refund, and the amount of such credit or refund shall be promptly paid over to Lessee.

 

 

Section 8.2.      Compliance with Requirements of Law and Insurance Requirements.

(b)            Lessee shall not, and shall not suffer or permit a tenant under any sublease to, violate any Applicable Laws affecting the Leased Property, including the Controlled Substances Act, if such violation would result in the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 16.1(p) below, including the commencement of any proceedings under the Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act to the extent the same would constitute an Event of Default. Upon obtaining actual knowledge of any conduct contrary to this Section 8.2, Lessee shall promptly take all actions reasonably expected under the circumstances to terminate any such use of the Leased Property, including: (i) to give timely notice to an appropriate law enforcement agency of information that led the Lessee to know such conduct had occurred, and (ii) in a timely fashion to revoke or make a good faith attempt to revoke permission for those engaging in such conduct to use the Leased Property or to take reasonable actions in consultation with a law enforcement agency to discourage or prevent the illegal use of the Leased Property.

 

 

Section 8.3.      Specified Tax Abatement Documents. The Lessee shall not enter into any Specified Tax Abatement Document without the prior written consent of the Required Participants if such Specified Tax Abatement Document: (i) impose any obligations or covenants upon the Participants (including, without limitation, any payment or indemnity obligations), (ii) impair in any material respect Lessor’s or Administrative Agent’s rights to the Leased Property or access to the Leased Property or (iii) result in any transfer of title or any interest in the Leased Property or risk of forfeiture of the Leased Property, other than for Permitted Liens described in clause (m) of such definition.

 

Section 8.4.      Power of Attorney. During the Term and provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and subject to the provisions of Articles VII, IX and X and Section 8.2, and without the requirement of any further instrument or action of Lessor, Lessor hereby appoints the Lessee as the agent and attorney-in-fact of Lessor for the purpose of exercising and enforcing, and with full right, power and authority to perform the obligations of Lessor and to exercise and to enforce, all of the right, title, interest and remedies of the Lessor in, under and to any agreements and arrangements concerning the use, operation, and repair of the Leased Property, which shall include the power and authority to execute documents relating thereto on behalf of Lessor, so long as such enforcement does not create, or such instruments do not contain, any liability on the part of the Lessor or require any indemnification from Lessor. Lessor agrees, to reasonably cooperate with Lessee and, upon Lessee’s request and at the Lessee’s expense, to execute and deliver and/or to join in the execution of such further instruments as may be necessary to enable the Lessee to perform Lessor’s obligations under such agreements and arrangements during the Term and to exercise and enforce the rights, remedies and obligations conferred to or delegated to the Lessee pursuant to this Section. Upon the expiration or termination of this Lease pursuant to the terms hereof or the express revocation after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the power of attorney granted to the Lessee under this Section shall automatically terminate. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any proceeds obtained by the Lessee from the enforcement of the warranties and obligations of any supplier of goods or services in respect of the Leased Property shall be held by the Lessee and applied from time to time to the repair and maintenance of the Leased Property, and any balance thereof remaining at the expiration of the Term shall be paid over to the Lessor or as it may direct, subject to Section 5.2 of the Participation Agreement.

Lessee, at its own cost and expense, shall at all times during the Term (a) keep, repair and maintain the Leased Property in good working order, subject to ordinary wear and tear, and in any event at least as good as the condition of substantially similar property owned or leased by Lessee (it being acknowledged that certain portions of the Facility do not meet such standards and the Lessee shall have no obligation to perform any alterations to such areas of the Leased Property in order to meet such standard); (b) make such repairs to the Leased Property as are necessary (i) to comply in all material respects with all Applicable Laws, (ii) to comply in all material respects with applicable Insurance Requirements and (iii) to meet the maintenance and repair standard for similarly sized and situated “Class A” office, laboratory and research and development campuses (it being acknowledged that certain portions of the Facility do not meet such “Class A” standards and the Lessee shall have no obligation to perform any alterations to such areas of the Leased Property in order to meet such standard); (c) use the Leased Property only in accordance with Article VIII; (d) make all necessary or appropriate repairs, replacements, restorations, renewals and take all other actions with respect to the Leased Property or any part thereof which may be required to keep the Leased Property in the condition required by the preceding clauses (a) through (c), structural or nonstructural, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen; and (e) procure, maintain and comply with all material licenses, permits, orders, approvals, consents and other authorizations required for the installation, construction and maintenance, use and operation, of the Leased Property.

 

 

Section 9.2.      Maintenance and Repair Records. Lessee shall keep maintenance and repair records in sufficient detail, at least on the same basis as records are kept for similar properties owned or leased by Lessee, Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries to indicate the nature and date of major work done at or to the Leased Property. Such reports shall be kept on file by Lessee at the Site, and shall be made available to Lessor upon reasonable request.

The Lessee waives any right it may have as of the Restatement Date or thereafter acquire to (i) require Lessor to maintain, repair, replace, restore, alter, remove or rebuild all or part of the Leased Property or (ii) make repairs at the expense of Lessor pursuant to, or to bring the Leased Property in compliance with, any Applicable Laws (including Environmental Laws), contract, agreement, or covenant, condition or restriction in effect at any time during the Term.

 

Article X
Modifications, Etc.

 

Section 10.1.      Improvements and Modifications. (a) (i) Lessee, at Lessee’s own cost and expense, shall make alterations, renovations, improvements, additions and upgrades to the Leased Property or any part thereof and substitutions and replacements therefor, and/or make changes the use of the Leased Property or any part thereof (collectively, “Modifications”) which are (A) necessary to repair or maintain the Leased Property in the condition required by Section 9.1; (B) necessary in order for the Leased Property to be in compliance with Applicable Laws (including Environmental Laws) in all material respects; or (C) necessary or advisable to restore the Leased Property to substantially the same condition existing prior to a Casualty or Condemnation to the extent required pursuant to Article XIV (collectively, “Required Modifications”); and (ii) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessee or its subtenants, at Lessee’s or its subtenant’s, as applicable, sole discretion and cost and expense, may undertake other Modifications to the Leased Property so long as such Modifications comply with Applicable Laws in all material respects and with Section 9.1 and Section 10.1(b) (collectively, “Permitted Modifications”).

 

 

(b)            The making of any Modifications must be in compliance with the following requirements:

 

(i)            No Modifications shall be undertaken without the prior written consent of the Required Participants, except for the following, each of which shall be permitted without the consent of the Required Participants: (A) any Required Modifications, (B) any Modification or series of Modifications with a cost that does not exceed $30,000,000 individually or, when added to the cost of all other Modifications (other than Required Modifications and Permitted Development Projects) during such calendar year, does not exceed $100,000,000 in the aggregate for such calendar year (the “Annual Modification Cap”); provided, however, that any Modification that is in excess of the Annual Modification Cap shall only require the consent of the Required Participants if such Modification has a cost in excess of $10,000,000, (C) any Permitted Development Projects, (D) the Permitted 767 Improvements and (E) the Loop Road Bridge Work. Notwithstanding the forgoing, in no event shall any Modification to a structural element be made or undertaken without the prior written consent of the Lessor. Lessor shall respond to any consent request under this Section within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such request. The failure of the Lessor to respond shall be deemed a rejection of such consent. As used herein, the term “Loop Road Bridge Work” means the work and development on the Leased Property to connect the proposed pedestrian bridge to be constructed by one or more Affiliates of Lessee across Loop Road with certain of the buildings located on the Leased Property.

 

(ii)            No Modifications shall be undertaken (x) in violation in any material respect of the terms of any restriction (including any environmental deed restriction), easement, condition, covenant, no further action letter or other similar matter affecting title to or binding on the Leased Property or (y) until Lessee shall have procured and paid for, so far as the same may be required from time to time, all material permits and authorizations to such Modifications of all third Persons or Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction. If requested by Lessee, Lessor, at Lessee’s expense, shall join in the application for any such permit or authorization and execute and deliver any document in connection therewith, whenever such joinder is requested by Lessee and is necessary or advisable as reasonably determined by Lessee. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 10(b)(ii) shall serve to limit or restrict the rights granted to Lessee pursuant to Section 11.2 hereof.

 

(iii)            All Modifications shall be prosecuted in a diligent manner, be completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance in all material respects with all Applicable Laws and applicable Insurance Requirements then in effect.

 

 

(iv)            All Modifications shall, when completed, be of such a character as to not give rise to any material Environmental Claim or materially adversely affect the utility of the Facility. To the extent the consent of the Required Participants is required for a Modification pursuant to the terms of Section 10.1(b)(i) above, and if requested by the Required Participants, Lessor may obtain a report from a construction consultant or, at the option of the Required Participants, Lessor may engage an appraiser of nationally recognized standing, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, to determine (by appraisal or other methods satisfactory to the Required Participants) the projected Fair Market Value of such item of the Leased Property as of the completion of the Modifications relating thereto.

 

(v)            Lessee shall have made adequate arrangements for payment of the cost of all Modifications when due so that the Leased Property shall at all times be free of Liens for labor and materials supplied or claimed to have been supplied to the Leased Property, other than Permitted Liens.

 

(vi)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Lessee shall be permitted to remove and/or demolish portions of the Leased Property which are readily removable and are not required by Applicable Law for Lessee’s operation of the Facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed $20,000,000 over the Term.

 

Section 10.2.      Title to Modifications. (a) Title to the following described Modifications shall, without further act, vest in Lessor and shall be deemed to constitute a part of the Leased Property and be subject to this Lease:

 

(i)            Modifications which are in replacement of or in substitution for a portion of any item of Leased Property;

 

(ii)            Required Modifications; or

 

(iii)            Modifications that are Nonseverable.

 

If requested by Lessor in writing, Lessee shall execute and deliver any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or other documents of conveyance reasonably necessary to evidence the vesting of title in and to such Modifications to Lessor.

 

(b)            If such Modifications are not within any of the categories set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) of Section 10.2(a) (each Modification outside such indicated categories, an “Improvement”), then title to such Improvements shall vest in Lessee and such Improvements shall not be deemed to be Modifications which are part of the Leased Property.

 

(c)            Each Improvement to which Lessee shall have title may be removed at any time by Lessee or its designee so long as (i) removal thereof shall not (A) result in the violation of any Applicable Laws (including Environmental Laws) or (B) adversely affect the Lessee’s ability to comply with its obligations under this Lease or any other Operative Document, and (ii) no Event of Default is continuing. Other than with respect to any Improvement being temporarily removed for the purpose of upgrading such Improvement and any Improvement being removed and replaced in the ordinary course of Lessee’s business, Lessee agrees to notify Lessor in writing at least ten (10) days before it removes any such Improvement which had an original cost exceeding $30,000,000 individually or for which the consent of the Required Participants was required, and Lessee shall at its expense repair any damage to the Leased Property caused by the removal of such Improvement. Lessor (or the purchaser of the Leased Property) may purchase from Lessee any such Improvement (if not already owned by Lessor) that Lessee intends to remove from the Leased Property prior to the return of the Leased Property to Lessor or sale of the Leased Property, which purchase shall be at the Fair Market Value of such Improvement as determined by the Appraiser at the time of such purchase. Title to any such Improvement shall vest in Lessor (or the purchaser of the applicable Leased Property) if not removed from the Leased Property by Lessee prior to the return of the Leased Property to Lessor or sale of the Leased Property. Modifications, title to which are vested in Lessor, shall be made available to the Lessee or its designee without cost during the Term and thereafter if the use thereof is necessary or useful for the operation of the Leased Property.

 

 

(d)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the ownership of and title to all trade fixtures, Equipment, Improvements not transferred by Sellers to the Lessor under the Purchase Agreement, signs and other personal property owned by the Lessee and located on the Leased Property (“Lessee Property”) shall remain in the Lessee, and the Lessee Property may be removed by the Lessee from time to time and at the expiration or termination of the Term, so long as removal thereof shall not (A) result in the violation of any Applicable Laws in any material respect or (B) adversely affect the Lessee’s ability to comply with its obligations under this Lease or any other Operative Document. Furthermore, the Lessee shall have no obligation to remove the Lessee Property at the expiration or termination of the Term. In particular, the Lessee may opt to (i) sell, dispose or otherwise remove of any or all of the Lessee Property prior to or upon the expiration or termination of the Term or (ii) dismantle and abandon any or all of the Lessee Property. In addition, the Lessee shall have no obligation under this Lease to maintain any of the Lessee Property in its original condition. If the Lessee shall opt not to remove any or all of the Lessee Property at the expiration or termination of the Term, the Lessee Property shall be deemed abandoned and shall become the property of Lessor and Lessor agrees to accept such Lessee Property in AS-IS, WHERE-IS condition on the date of expiration or termination of this Lease. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Lessor shall be deemed to have waived any interest, lien or claim of any nature that Lessor, or its successors, assigns, lenders or agents may have as of the Restatement Date or thereafter obtain in the Lessee Property whether by operation of law, contract or otherwise.

 

Section 10.3.      Permitted Developments. (a) Lessor hereby acknowledges receipt of the existing development plans described on Schedule A attached hereto with respect to certain undeveloped portions of the Site (such portions of the Site, the “Undeveloped Areas”). Notwithstanding Section 10.1(b), Lessee shall be permitted to develop the Undeveloped Areas for uses that are consistent with the use of the Facility permitted hereunder (including, without limitation, wet labs, dry labs and specialty labs, as well as uses appurtenant thereto, including, without limitation, amenities relating thereto such as cafeteria, restaurant, child care, fitness centers and warehouse and storage facilities and parking) and otherwise in a manner in compliance in all material respects with Applicable Laws, and without the consent of Lessor, the Administrative Agent or any of the Participants, so long as the development is permitted under applicable zoning requirements and no Event of Default is continuing or will occur due to such development. At Lessee’s request, Lessor shall enter into a fully financeable ground lease (with nondisturbance and recognition and other customary lender protections) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessee and Lessor for the Undeveloped Area (any such ground lease for the Undeveloped Area or any portion thereof, a “Development Ground Lease”) and, upon execution thereof, such Undeveloped Area subject thereto shall no longer be subject to this Lease. The Development Ground Lease for any Undeveloped Area shall be triple net and have fair market rent payable thereunder and shall be for a 99-year term. Lessor and Lessee have entered into a fully financeable ground lease for the Parcel D Ground Leased Property. The Parcel D Ground Leased Property subject to the Parcel D Ground Lease is not subject to this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein:

 

 

(i)            whenever the Lessee elects to the purchase the Leased Property, or is otherwise required to purchase the Leased Property, (i) the Lessee shall correspondingly be required to purchase the Parcel D Ground Leased Property subject to the Parcel D Ground Lease and any Undeveloped Area subject to any Development Ground Lease then in effect, and (ii) upon Lessor’s or Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Purchase Amount, Lessor shall transfer good and marketable fee title to the Parcel D Ground Leased Property subject to the Parcel D Ground Lease and the Undeveloped Areas subject to any Development Ground Lease, in each case, to Lessee at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, free and clear of any and all liens caused or created by Lessor; and

 

(ii)            whenever the Lessee elects to the sell the Leased Property pursuant to its exercise of the Sale Option, (i) the Lessee shall correspondingly be required to sell on behalf of Lessor the Parcel D Ground Leased Property subject to the Parcel D Ground Lease and any Undeveloped Area subject to any Development Ground Lease then in effect, and (ii) on the date upon which such sale and transfer of the Leased Property is consummated in accordance with Articles XX and XXI, Lessor shall transfer good and marketable fee title to the Parcel D Ground Leased Property subject to the Parcel D Ground Lease and the Undeveloped Areas subject to any Development Ground Lease, in each case, to the relevant purchaser pursuant to the Sale Option at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, free and clear of any and all liens caused or created by Lessor.

 

(b)            Lessor hereby acknowledges receipt of the existing development plans described on Schedule A attached hereto with respect to certain developed portions of the Site described on Schedule B attached hereto (such portions of the Site, the “Permitted Developed Areas”). Notwithstanding section 10.1(b), Lessee shall be permitted to develop Permitted Developed Areas for uses that are consistent with the uses of the Leased Property permitted hereunder (including, without limitation, wet labs, dry labs and specialty labs, as well as uses appurtenant thereto, including, without limitation, amenities relating thereto such as cafeteria, restaurant, child care, fitness centers and warehouse and storage facilities and parking) and otherwise in a manner in compliance in all material respects with Applicable Laws, and without the consent of Lessor, the Administrative Agent or any of the Participants, so long as the development is permitted under applicable zoning requirements, consistent with the existing use of the Facility and no Event of Default is continuing or will occur due to such development. So long as the Lessee has paid the Permitted Developed Area Release Payment to the Participants (or to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Participants), at Lessee’s request, Lessor shall enter into a fully financeable ground lease (with nondisturbance and recognition and other customary lender protections) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessee and Lessor for the Permitted Developed Area and, upon execution thereof, such Permitted Developed Area subject thereto shall no longer be subject to this Lease. The ground lease shall be triple net and have fair market rent payable thereunder and shall be for a 99-year term.

 

 

(c)            Lessor hereby conditionally assigns to Lessee or its designee the right to receive ground lease rent and any and all condemnation awards under the Parcel D Ground Lease, under any Development Ground Lease and under any ground lease executed pursuant to 10.3(b) hereof. If Lessee receives written notice from Lessor or the Administrative Agent, the assignment under this clause (c) shall be (i) suspended during the continuance of an Event of Default (but shall be reinstated upon the cure of such Event of Default) and (ii) terminated upon (x) the exercise of any sale or foreclosure remedies by Lessor or Administrative Agent upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default or (y) the termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 16.2. During any such suspension, Lessor is authorized to notify the party paying the ground lease rent that all such ground lease rent shall be payable to the Lessor. If Lessee exercises the Sale Option, then the assignment under this clause (c) shall terminate on the date upon which a sale and transfer of the Leased Property is consummated in accordance with Articles XX and XXI, and, upon such termination, Lessor is authorized to notify the party paying the ground lease rent that all such ground lease rent shall be payable to the relevant purchaser pursuant to the Sale Option. To the extent permitted by law for applicable tax purposes, Lessor and Lessee acknowledge and agree that Lessee or its designee, as applicable, intends to disregard the amount of any ground lease rent received from Lessor pursuant to such assignment for U.S. income tax purposes.

 

(d)            Lessor acknowledges (and, by acceptance of any of the benefits of any Security Instrument, Administrative Agent and each Rent Assignee acknowledges) that (i) the Parcel D REA has been consented to by Lessor, (ii) the Liens of the Security Instruments and the right, interest and title of Lessor, Administrative Agent and the Rent Assignees in the Leased Property and other Collateral have been, and hereby are, subordinated to the rights of the Parcel D Ground Lease Lessee to the Leased Property granted pursuant to the Parcel D REA, and (iii) if Lessor, Administrative Agent or any Rent Assignee exercises any foreclosure, enforcement or other remedy available under any Security Instrument, none of Lessor, Administrative Agent or any Rent Assignee shall extinguish or otherwise impair the validity of the Parcel D REA with respect to the Parcel D Ground Lease Lessee’s interest or the Parcel D Ground Lease or any of the covenants running with the land described therein, which Parcel D REA and Parcel D Ground Lease shall thereafter continue in full force and effect with respect to the property encumbered by any Security Instrument.

(a) During the Term, Lessee will not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on or with respect to any portion of the Leased Property, Lessor’s title thereto, or any interest therein. Lessee, at its own expense, will promptly pay, satisfy and otherwise take such actions as may be necessary to keep the Leased Property free and clear of, and duly to discharge, eliminate or bond in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and the Administrative Agent, any such Lien (other than Permitted Liens) if the same shall arise at any time.

Section 13.2.    Insurance Coverage. The insurance coverage required in Section 13.1 shall be written by reputable insurance companies that are financially sound and solvent and otherwise reasonably appropriate considering the amount and type of insurance being provided by such companies. Any insurance company selected by Lessee shall be rated in A.M. Best’s Insurance Guide or any successor thereto (or if there be none, an organization having a similar national reputation) and shall have a general policyholder rating of “A-” (or comparable rating for a rating by an organization other than A.M. Best) and a financial rating of at least “VIII” (or comparable rating for a rating by an organization other than A.M. Best) or be otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Required Participants. All policies of liability insurance required herein, with the exception of workers compensation, shall name Lessor, the Administrative Agent and each Participant, as additional insureds and, in the case of property insurance maintained by Lessee, it shall name the Lessor, as mortgagee and sole loss payee with respect to the Leased Property (but subject to the obligations of Lessor and Administrative Agent under Section 14.1 of this Lease). Each policy referred to in Section 13.1 shall provide that: (i) it will not be canceled or its limits reduced, or allowed to lapse without renewal, except after not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lessor and Administrative Agent (and after not less than ten (10) days for nonpayment of premium); (ii) the interests of Lessor, the Administrative Agent and any Participant shall not be invalidated by any act or negligence of or breach of warranty or representation by Lessee or any other Person having an interest in the Leased Property; (iii) such insurance is primary with respect to any other insurance carried by or available to Lessor, the Administrative Agent or any Participant; (iv) the insurer shall waive any right of subrogation against the Participants and Administrative Agent; and (v) any such liability policy shall contain a cross-liability/separation of insureds clause providing for coverage of Lessor, the Administrative Agent and each Participant, as if separate policies had been issued to each of them.

Section 13.3.    Delivery of Insurance Certificates. On or before the Restatement Date, Lessee shall deliver to Administrative Agent and Lessor certificates of insurance evidencing the existence of all insurance required to be maintained hereunder and setting forth the respective coverages, limits of liability, carrier, policy number and period of coverage. Thereafter, throughout the Term, at the time each of Lessee’s insurance policies is renewed (but in no event less frequently than once each year) or upon written request by Lessor when an Event of Default exists, Lessee shall deliver to Administrative Agent and Lessor certificates of insurance evidencing that all insurance required by Sections 13.1 and 13.2 to be maintained by Lessee is in effect.

Section 13.5.    Self-Insurance. From and after the Restatement Date, and from time to time thereafter during the Term, and for any length of time, as long as Parent Guarantor has an Investment Grade Rating, then in lieu of procuring and maintaining any or all of the insurance coverage required pursuant to Section 13.1(b), Lessee may elect to maintain a self-insurance program; provided that such self-insurance program shall be consistent with Lessee’s and Parent Guarantor’s insurance program for similar properties of this type and shall be compliant with Lessor’s credit standards. If Lessee elects to maintain a self-insurance program pursuant to this Section 13.5, then Lessee at Lessor’s written request, shall provide to Lessor and the Administrative Agent a certificate or other evidence of insurance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and the Administrative Agent, setting forth the self-insured coverages. If Lessee’s self-insurance program fails to satisfy the requirements set forth in this Section 13.5, then Lessee shall provide evidence of the insurance required under Section 13.1(b) hereof not later than ten (10) Business Days after the occurrence of such failure of Lessee’s self-insurance program.

 

Article XIV
Casualty and Condemnation

 

Section 14.1.    Casualty and Condemnation. (a) Subject to the provisions of this Article XIV, if all or any portion of the Leased Property suffers a Casualty during the Term (other than a Significant Casualty as to which a Termination Notice has been given), Lessee shall give notice thereof to Lessor promptly after Lessee has knowledge thereof and Lessee shall control the negotiations with the relevant insurer (unless an Event of Default exists in which case Lessor shall be entitled to control such negotiations) and, except as otherwise provided in this Section 14.1, and any insurance proceeds payable by an insurer with respect to such Casualty up to $50,000,000 individually and $100,000,000 in the aggregate per annum shall be paid directly to the Lessee, or if received by Lessor, the Administrative Agent or the Rent Assignees, shall be paid over to the Lessee and shall be used by Lessee solely for the reconstruction, restoration and repair of such Leased Property, and if the use of, access to, occupancy of or title to the Leased Property or any part thereof is the subject of a Condemnation (other than a Significant Condemnation as to which a Termination Notice has been given), then any award or compensation relating thereto up to $50,000,000 individually and $100,000,000 in the aggregate per annum shall be paid to the Lessee and shall be used by Lessee solely for the restoration of the Leased Property. Lessor hereby agrees to promptly remit to Administrative Agent all insurance proceeds received with respect to a Casualty or Condemnation to the extent not required to be paid over to Lessee under this Section 14.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such award, compensation or insurance proceeds payable by an insurer shall be paid directly to the Administrative Agent or, if received by the Lessee, shall be held in trust for the Participants and shall be paid over by the Lessee to the Administrative Agent. All amounts held by Lessor or Administrative Agent on account of any award, compensation or insurance proceeds either paid directly to Lessor or Administrative Agent or turned over to Lessor or Administrative Agent, to the extent not otherwise required to be paid to the Lessee, shall be held in trust in a segregated account and applied to reimburse the Lessee from time to time during the course of the Lessee’s reconstruction, restoration and/or repair of the Leased Property and compliance with the provisions of Article IX hereof (or to otherwise make payments for any costs and expenses thereof as directed by the Lessee); provided, however, in each case after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default such proceeds shall at the option of Lessor (at the direction of the Required Participants) either be (A) paid to the Lessee for the reconstruction, restoration and/or repair of such Leased Property subject to such Casualty or Condemnation in accordance with this clause (A), or (B) applied to the Lease Balance and any other amounts owed by Lessee under the Operative Documents in accordance with Article XVI.

 

 

(b)            In the event any part of the Leased Property becomes subject to condemnation or requisition proceedings during the Term, Lessee shall give notice thereof to Lessor promptly after Lessee has knowledge thereof and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, Lessee shall control the negotiations with the relevant Governmental Authority unless an Event of Default exists or such condemnation or requisition could result in a Significant Condemnation in which case Lessor shall be entitled to control such negotiations; provided, that in any event, Lessor may participate at Lessor’s expense (or, if an Event of Default exists, Lessor may control or participate at Lessee’s expense) in such negotiations; and provided in all cases, that no settlement will be made without Lessor’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Lessee shall give to Lessor 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 XIII, and are in the possession of Lessee, as are reasonably requested by Lessor. If the proceedings relate to a Significant Condemnation, Lessee shall act diligently in connection therewith. Nothing contained in this Section 14.1(b) shall diminish Lessor’s rights with respect to condemnation awards and property insurance proceeds under Articles XIII or XIV.

 

(c)            In no event shall a Casualty or Condemnation affect the Lessee’s obligations to pay Rent pursuant to Section 3.1 or to perform its obligations and pay any amounts due on the Expiration Date or pursuant to Articles XVIII and XXI.

 

(d)            If, pursuant to this Article XIV, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect following a Casualty or Condemnation, and provided that each of the Administrative Agent and the Participants releases and remits to Lessee all award, compensation or insurance proceeds held by the Administrative Agent or Lessor, as applicable, the Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense (and, without limitation, if any award, compensation or insurance payment is not sufficient to restore the Leased Property in accordance with this clause (d), Lessee shall pay the shortfall), promptly and diligently repair any damage to the Leased Property caused by such Casualty or Condemnation in conformity with the requirements of Sections 9.1 and 10.1 so as to restore, to the extent practicable, the Leased Property to at least substantially the same condition and value, in each case in all material respects, as existed immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation or to another use permitted under Section 8.1; provided that, following completion of such changes and restorations, the value of the Leased Property is not substantially less than the value of the Leased Property immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation. In such event, title to the Leased Property shall remain with Lessor subject to the terms of this Lease. Upon completion of restorations with costs in excess of $5,000,000, upon the request of Lessor, the Lessee shall furnish to Lessor a Responsible Officer’s Certificate confirming that such restoration has been completed pursuant to this Lease. Any proceeds remaining after completion of such restoration shall be paid to, or retained by, as applicable, the Lessee.

 

 

Section 14.2.    Environmental Matters. During the Term, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, Lessee shall in a reasonably prompt and diligent manner undertake or cause to be undertaken any investigation, response, clean up, remedial restoration or other action necessary to investigate, remove, clean up, remediate or otherwise address any Environmental Violation to the extent required by Applicable Laws with respect to the Leased Property or at any off-site location impacted by any environmental condition or activities at, on or from the Leased Property.

 

Section 14.3.    Notice of Environmental Matters. (a) Lessee shall provide to Lessor written notice of any pending or threatened (in writing) Environmental Claim, action or proceeding involving any Environmental Violation or any Release on, at, under or from the Leased Property, from which violation or Release would reasonably be expected to require in excess of $500,000 in remediation costs, or which would reasonably be expected to result in the imposition of material civil liability or criminal penalties upon Lessor, the Administrative Agent or any Participant (any such Environmental Violation or Release, a “Material Environmental Violation”), as promptly as reasonably practicable after becoming aware of such pending or threatened Environmental Claims. All such notices shall describe in reasonable detail the nature of the Material Environmental Violation, including any Environmental Claims, actions or proceedings in respect thereof, and Lessee’s proposed response thereto. In addition, Lessee shall provide to Lessor and Administrative Agent, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt, copies of all material communications with any Governmental Authority relating to any such Material Environmental Violation. Lessee shall also as promptly as reasonably practicable provide such detailed reports of any such Material Environmental Violations as may reasonably be requested by Lessor or Administrative Agent.

 

(b)            In the event that any Material Environmental Violation (x) would reasonably be expected to require remediation costs of $1,000,000 or more as determined by Lessor acting in its reasonable discretion, or (y) would reasonably be expected to result in the imposition of material civil liability or criminal penalties upon Lessor, the Administrative Agent or any Participant, of $1,000,000 or more, as determined by such party acting in its reasonable discretion (such a Material Environmental Violation shall be referred to herein as a “Specified Material Environmental Violation”), Lessee shall (1) promptly cause a report by an environmental consultant selected by Lessee and reasonably acceptable to Lessor to be delivered to Lessor, which report shall (i) describe the Specified Material Environmental Violation and the remedial actions to be taken by Lessee (or its agents) in response to such Specified Material Environmental Violation (and including the anticipated time period in which such Specified Material Environmental Violation is capable of being remedied assuming Lessee (or its agents) are diligently performing such remediation), (ii) contain an estimate for all remediation expenses (including any fines and/or related costs) and the duration of such remedial actions and (iii) contain a statement by such consultant that such Specified Material Environmental Violation would be remedied in compliance in all material respects with applicable Environmental Law after the completion of such remedial actions described in such report and (2) provide evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, of sufficient financial means to pay for (i) all remediation expenses (including any fines and/or related costs) in the amounts set forth in such consultant’s report and (ii) all indemnification obligations of Lessee arising under this Lease or any other Operative Documents (including, without limitation, any legal defense costs of a pending, threatened, and/or anticipated civil or criminal proceeding), or, if not reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, Lessee shall post collateral in such amount as reasonably determined by the Lessor. Lessor shall have the right to terminate this Lease due to such Specified Material Environmental Violation, pursuant to the terms of Article XV hereof, if (x) Lessor reasonably determines that such environmental consultant’s report delivered in connection with such Specified Material Environmental Violation contains manifest error and based upon such error, Lessor determines that the remedial actions described in such report would not result in such Specified Material Environmental Violation being remedied (1) in compliance in all material respects with applicable Environmental Law, (2) for the costs set forth in such consultant’s report or (3) within the time period set forth in such consultant’s report or (y) the Lessee has failed to provide evidence (or, in the alternative, the posting of collateral), reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, of sufficient financial means to pay for (i) all remediation expenses (including any fines and/or related costs) and (ii) all indemnification obligations of Lessee arising under this Lease or any other Operative Documents (including, without limitation, any legal defense costs of a pending, threatened, and/or anticipated civil or criminal proceeding), in each case, in such amounts as have been reasonably determined by the Required Participants, after consultation, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, with such environmental consultant; provided that, in the case of this subclause (y), only if such failure continues beyond a period to be agreed after written notification to the Lessee of such amounts so determined by the Required Participants and, if applicable, that previously delivered evidence is not reasonably satisfactory to Lessor.

 

 

(c)            Lessee shall diligently perform, or cause to be diligently performed, all investigative and remedial actions necessary to cause any Material Environmental Violation to be remediated in compliance in all material respects with applicable Environmental Law and, upon completion of remedial action of any Material Environmental Violation by Lessee, Lessee shall cause to be prepared by an environmental consultant reasonably acceptable to Lessor a report describing the Material Environmental Violation and the actions taken by Lessee (or its agents) in response to such Material Environmental Violation, and a statement by the consultant that the Material Environmental Violation has been remedied in compliance in all material respects with applicable Environmental Law.

 

(d)            Each such Material Environmental Violation shall be remedied prior to the Expiration Date unless all, but not less than all, of the Leased Property has been purchased by Lessee in accordance with Article XV or Article XVIII. Nothing in this Article XIV shall reduce or limit Lessee’s obligations elsewhere in this Lease or under the Participation Agreement.

 

Article XV

(h)            an involuntary proceeding shall be commenced or an involuntary petition shall be filed seeking (i) liquidation, examinership, reorganization or other relief in respect of Lessee, any Guarantor or any Material Subsidiary or any of their debts, or of a substantial part of any of their assets, under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, examinership, receivership or similar law in effect as of the Restatement Date or thereafter or (ii) the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, examiner, sequestrator, conservator or similar official for Lessee, any Guarantor or any Material Subsidiary or for a substantial part of its assets, and, in any such case, such proceeding or petition shall continue undismissed, undischarged or unstayed for sixty (60) days or an order or decree approving or ordering any of the foregoing shall be entered; provided that this subsection (h) shall not apply to any liquidation of a Subsidiary permitted by Section 9(c) of the Guaranty;

 

(i)            Lessee, any Guarantor or any Material Subsidiary shall (i) voluntarily commence any proceeding or file any petition seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, examinership, receivership or similar law in effect as of the Restatement Date or thereafter, (ii) consent to the institution of, or fail to contest in a timely and appropriate manner, any proceeding or petition described in Section 16.1(h), (iii) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, examiner, sequestrator, conservator or similar official for Lessee, any Subsidiary or any Material Subsidiary or for a substantial part of its assets, (iv) file an answer admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any such proceeding, (v) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or (vi) take any action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing; provided that this subsection (i) shall not apply to any liquidation of a Subsidiary permitted by Section 9(c) of the Guaranty;

 

(j)            Lessee, any Guarantor or any Material Subsidiary shall become unable, admit in writing its inability or fail generally to pay its debts as they become due;

(l)            an ERISA Event shall have occurred that, when taken together with all other ERISA Events that have occurred, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect;

 

(m)            a Change in Control shall occur;

 

(n)            (i) any Operative Document to which Lessee or a Guarantor is a party, after execution thereof and for any reason other than as expressly permitted hereunder or thereunder or in satisfaction in full of the Obligations, ceases to be valid, binding and enforceable against the Lessee or any Guarantors party thereto in accordance with its terms in all material respects (or Lessee or any Guarantor shall challenge the enforceability of any Operative Document or shall assert in writing, or engage in any action or inaction based on any such assertion, that any material provision of any of the Operative Documents has ceased to be or otherwise is not valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms in any material respect, other than as expressly permitted hereunder or thereunder or in satisfaction in full in cash of the Obligations then due and payable) or (ii) the security interest and lien securing Lessee’s obligations under the Operative Documents, in whole or in part, ceases to be a perfected first priority security interest and lien (subject only to Permitted Liens);

(p)            a judicial or nonjudicial forfeiture or seizure proceeding is commenced by a Governmental Authority and remains pending with respect to the Leased Property, on the grounds that the Leased Property or any part thereof had been used to commit or facilitate the commission of a criminal offense by any Person, including any tenant, pursuant to any Law, including under the Controlled Substances Act or the Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act, regardless of whether or not the Leased Property or the Consolidated Mortgage shall become subject to forfeiture or seizure in connection therewith; provided, however, that no Event of Default shall occur under this Section 16.1(p) unless Lessee fails to have the enforcement action stayed (so long as such stay is not lifted) or resolved within sixty (60) days after the commencement of such proceedings.

 

 

Section 16.2.    Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, Lessor may, so long as such Event of Default is continuing, do one or more of the following as Lessor in its sole discretion shall determine, without limiting any other right or remedy Lessor may have on account of such Event of Default, but subject to the rights of the Lessee to purchase the Leased Property pursuant to the terms and within the time periods as set forth in Section 18.1:

 

(a)            subject to Lessee’s rights under Section 18.1, Lessor may, by notice to the Lessee, rescind or terminate this Lease as to any or all of the Leased Property as of the date specified in such notice; provided, however, (i) no reletting or taking of possession of the Leased Property (or any portion thereof) by Lessor will be construed as an election on Lessor’s part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to the Lessee, (ii) notwithstanding any reletting or taking of possession, Lessor may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for a continuing Event of Default and (iii) no act or thing done by Lessor or any of its agents, representatives or employees and no agreement accepting a surrender of the Leased Property shall be valid unless the same be made in writing and executed by Lessor;

 

(b)            Lessor may (i) demand that the Lessee, and the Lessee shall upon the written demand of Lessor, return the Leased Property promptly to Lessor in the manner and condition required by, and otherwise in accordance with all of the provisions of the Participation Agreement and Article IX and Sections 8.2 and 14.2 hereof, and Lessee shall comply with the requirements of Section 15.2 to the extent requested by Lessor, as if the Leased Property were being returned at the end of the Term, and Lessor shall not be liable for the reimbursement of the Lessee for any costs and expenses incurred by the Lessee in connection therewith and (ii) without prejudice to any other remedy which Lessor may have for possession of the Leased Property, and to the extent and in the manner permitted by Applicable Laws, enter upon the Site and take immediate possession of (to the exclusion of the Lessee) the Leased Property or any part thereof and expel or remove the Lessee, by summary proceedings or otherwise, all without liability to the Lessee for or by reason of such entry or taking of possession (provided, however, Lessor shall remain liable for actual damages caused by its gross negligence or willful misconduct), whether for the restoration of damage to property caused by such taking or otherwise and, in addition to Lessor’s other damages, the Lessee shall be responsible for all actual and documented costs and expenses (which costs and expenses shall be reasonable if within the control of Lessor) incurred by Lessor and the Participants in connection with any reletting, including, without limitation, reasonable brokers’ fees and all actual costs of any reasonable alterations or repairs made by Lessor that are required to maintain the Leased Property in the condition required by this Lease;

 

(c)            Lessor may sell all or any part of the Leased Property at public or private sale, as Lessor may determine, free and clear of any rights of the Lessee with respect thereto (except to the extent required below if Lessor shall elect to exercise its rights thereunder) in which event the Lessee’s obligation to pay Basic Rent hereunder for periods commencing after the date of such sale shall be terminated;

 

 

(d)            Lessor may, at its option, (i) elect not to terminate this Lease with respect to the Leased Property and continue to collect all Basic Rent, Supplemental Rent and all other amounts due Lessor (together with all costs of collection) and enforce the Lessee’s obligations under this Lease as and when the same become due, or are to be performed, and (ii) upon any abandonment of the Leased Property by the Lessee, Lessor may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect not to terminate this Lease and may make the necessary repairs (and the Lessee shall pay the reasonable costs of such repairs) in order to relet the Leased Property, and relet the Leased Property or any part thereof (in place, if so elected by Lessor) for such term or terms (which may be for a term extending beyond the Term of this Lease) and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Lessor in its reasonable discretion may deem advisable; and upon each such reletting all rentals actually received by Lessor from such reletting shall be applied to the Lessee’s obligations hereunder and the other Operative Documents in such order, proportion and priority as Lessor may elect in Lessor’s sole and absolute discretion. If such rentals received from such reletting during any period are less than the Rent with respect to the Leased Property to be paid during that period by the Lessee hereunder, the Lessee shall pay any deficiency, as calculated by Lessor, to Lessor on the next Payment Date;

 

(e)            Lessor may demand, by written notice to the Lessee, that the Lessee pay to Lessor within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such notice an amount equal to the Lease Balance and all other amounts owing by Lessee to the Administrative Agent, if any, and/or the Participants under the Operative Documents (including, but without duplication, accrued and unpaid Rent), then upon Lessor’s receipt of the Lease Balance and all other amounts owing by Lessee to the Administrative Agent, if any, and/or the Participants under the Operative Documents (including, but without duplication, accrued and unpaid Rent), Lessor shall convey the Leased Property, the other Collateral and the Parcel D Ground Leased Property to the Lessee in accordance with Article XXI. Lessor acknowledges and agrees that upon the declaration of an Event of Default, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Lessee waives any right to contest that the payment of the amount described in the preceding sentence constitutes the correct liquidated recourse sum due upon acceleration of this instrument;

 

(f)            Lessor may exercise any other right or remedy that may be available to it under Applicable Laws, 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(s), and such suits shall not in any manner prejudice Lessor’s right to collect any such damages for any subsequent period(s), or Lessor may defer any such suit until after the expiration of the Term, in which event such suit shall be deemed not to have accrued until the expiration of the Term;

 

(g)            Lessor may retain and apply against the Lease Balance and all other amounts due and owing by the Lessee under the Operative Documents, in accordance with Section 5.3 of the Participation Agreement, all sums which Lessor would, absent such Event of Default, be required to pay to, or turn over to, the Lessee pursuant to the terms of this Lease and upon payment in full of the Lease Balance and all such amounts described above in this clause (g), the Leased Property, other Collateral and Parcel D Ground Leased Property shall be conveyed to Lessee in accordance with Section 21.1 of this Lease (except to the extent the Leased Property and other Collateral has been sold pursuant to this Section 16.2);

 

 

(h)            if an Event of Default pursuant to Section 16.1(h) or (i) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Lessee or the Parent Guarantor, Lessor, as a matter of right and with notice to the Lessee, shall have the right to apply to any court having jurisdiction to appoint a receiver or receivers of the Leased Property, and the Lessee hereby irrevocably consents to any such appointment. Any such receiver(s) shall have all of the usual powers and duties of receivers in like or similar cases and all of the powers and duties of Lessor in case of entry onto the Site, and shall continue as such and exercise such powers until the date of confirmation of the sale of the Leased Property or the other Collateral unless such receivership is sooner terminated; or

 

(i)            upon the occurrence of the Event of Default described in Section 16.1(h) or (i) with respect to the Lessee or the Parent Guarantor, whether or not another Event of Default described in one or more other clauses of Section 16.1 shall have been or thereafter is declared, this Lease shall terminate immediately without notice and Lessee shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lessor, as and for liquidated damages and without limitation on any other remedies provided for herein, an amount equal to the Lease Balance and all other amounts owing by Lessee to the Administrative Agent, if any, and/or the Participants under the Operative Documents (including, but without duplication, accrued and unpaid Rent).

 

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Lessee hereby waives (x) the benefit of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement and redemption laws in force as of the Restatement Date or thereafter and all rights of marshaling in the event of any sale of the Leased Property or the other Collateral or any interest therein and (y) any rights as of the Restatement Date or in the future conferred by statute or otherwise which may require Lessor to sell, lease or otherwise use the Leased Property in mitigation of Lessor’s damages or which may otherwise limit or modify any remedy of damages.

 

Lessor shall be entitled to enforce payment and the performance of the obligations secured hereby and to exercise all rights and powers under this instrument or under any of the other Operative Documents or other agreements or any laws in force as of the Restatement Date or thereafter, notwithstanding some or all of the obligations secured hereby may be otherwise secured as of the Restatement Date or thereafter, whether by mortgage, security agreement, pledge, lien, assignment or otherwise. Neither the acceptance of this instrument nor its enforcement, shall prejudice or in any manner affect Lessor’s right to realize upon or enforce any other security held by Lessor as of the Restatement Date or thereafter, it being agreed that Lessor shall be entitled to enforce this instrument and any other security held by Lessor as of the Restatement Date or thereafter in such order and manner as Lessor may determine in its absolute discretion. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Lessor is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or existing as of the Restatement Date or thereafter at law or in equity or by statute. Every power or remedy given by any of the Operative Documents to Lessor or to which it may otherwise be entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Lessor. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the powers, rights and remedies as set forth or otherwise permitted pursuant to this Article XVI are independent of the provisions of Article XIII of the Participation Agreement and shall not be affected by any exclusion set forth in Section 13.1(b) of the Participation Agreement.

 

 

The proceeds derived from any sale of Leased Property and other amounts recovered pursuant to the foregoing remedies after an Event of Default shall be distributed pursuant to Section 5.3(f) of the Participation Agreement. The amount realized by Lessor upon a sale of the Leased Property shall be net of Lessor’s sale expenses and other expenses reasonably and customarily incurred by Lessor in connection with Lessor holding and owning such Leased Property until such time as the Leased Property is sold. The obligations in Section 5.3(f) of the Participation Agreement shall survive the termination of this Lease.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and except for Lessee’s obligation to pay Nonconformance Amounts, there shall not be any personal recourse against the Lessee (and Lessor shall have recourse only against the Leased Property) pursuant to this Section 16.2 for any amount in excess of the Lease Balance and all other amounts owing by Lessee to the Administrative Agent, if any, and/or the Participants under the Operative Documents (including, but without duplication, accrued and unpaid Rent); provided that, in the event Lessee does not pay the Lease Balance and all other amounts owing by Lessee to the Administrative Agent, if any, and/or the Participants under the Operative Documents (including, but without duplication, accrued and unpaid Rent) in full, Lessee shall not be entitled to the Leased Property and Lessor shall be entitled to receive the outstanding Lease Balance and all other amounts owing by Lessee to the Administrative Agent, if any, and/or the Participants under the Operative Documents (including, but without duplication, accrued and unpaid Rent) from the sale, lease or other disposition of the Leased Property.

 

Section 16.3.    Waiver of Certain Rights. If this Lease shall be terminated pursuant to Section 16.2, the Lessee waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (a) any notice of legal proceedings to obtain possession; (b) any right of redemption or repossession; (c) the benefit of any laws in force as of the Restatement Date or thereafter exempting property from liability for rent or for debt or limiting Lessor with respect to the election of remedies; and (d) any other rights which might otherwise limit or modify any of Lessor’s rights or remedies under this Article XVI.

 

 

Article XVII
Lessor’s Right to Cure

 

Section 17.1.    The Lessor’s Right to Cure the Lessee’s Defaults. Lessor, without waiving or releasing any obligation or Event of Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to), upon five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to the Lessee, remedy any Event of Default for the account and at the sole cost and expense of the Lessee, including the failure by the Lessee to maintain the insurance required by Article XIII, and may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and notwithstanding any right of quiet enjoyment in favor of the Lessee, enter upon the Leased Property and the Site, for such purpose and take all such action thereon as may be necessary or appropriate therefor. No such entry shall be deemed an eviction of Lessee. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses so incurred by the Lessor (including reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel), together with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate from the date on which such sums or expenses are paid by Lessor, shall be paid by the Lessee to Lessor on demand as Supplemental Rent.

 

Article XVIII
Purchase Provisions

 

Section 18.1.    Early and End of Term Purchase Options. Subject to the conditions contained herein, on (a) (i) any Business Day during the Term and (ii) on the Expiration Date in accordance with Section 19.1(b); provided that Lessee has not elected the Sale Option, or (b) any Business Day after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Insolvency Event), Lessee may, at its option, purchase (or cause a designee to purchase) all, but not less than all, of the Leased Property, other Collateral and Parcel D Ground Leased Property (the “Early Termination Option”) at a price equal to the Purchase Amount. Lessee’s right to purchase all of the Leased Property, other Collateral and Parcel D Ground Leased Property pursuant to this Section 18.1 shall terminate automatically and without notice upon the occurrence of an Event of Default arising as a result of an Insolvency Event. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, unless all of the Leased Property, other Collateral and Parcel D Ground Leased Property has been sold, or is subject to a binding commitment to be sold, in its entirety pursuant to Section 16.2, Lessee shall be permitted to purchase the Leased Property, other Collateral and Parcel D Ground Leased Property (or, as applicable, all remaining Leased Property, other Collateral and Parcel D Ground Leased Property not yet sold pursuant to Section 16.2(c)), so long as Lessee (i) delivers a written Purchase Notice irrevocably electing to exercise the Early Termination Option not more than thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such Event of Default and (ii) pays the Administrative Agent or Lessor the Purchase Amount and executes such documents as are necessary to consummate such purchase within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such Purchase Notice (and, unless an Insolvency Event occurs, Lessor shall not terminate this Lease during such period). In order to exercise its option to purchase the Leased Property, other Collateral and Parcel D Ground Leased Property pursuant to this Section 18.1 and except as otherwise provided above in connection with an Event of Default, Lessee shall give to Lessor not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such election to exercise, which election shall be irrevocable when made. If the Lessee exercises its option pursuant to this Section 18.1, then, upon Administrative Agent’s receipt of all amounts due in connection therewith, Lessor shall transfer to the Lessee all of Lessor’s right, title and interest in and to the Leased Property, other Collateral and Parcel D Ground Leased Property in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 21.1, such transfer to be effective as of the date specified in the Purchase Notice. Lessor agrees that it shall cooperate with the Lessee in effecting any transfer to a designee of the Lessee pursuant to this Section 18.1.

 

 

Article XIX
End of Term Options

 

Section 19.1.    End of Term Options. At least one hundred eighty (180) days before the Expiration Date of the Term, but not more than three hundred and sixty-five (365) days prior to the Expiration Date of the Term, Lessee shall, by delivery of written notice to Lessor and the Administrative Agent, exercise one of the following options:

 

(a)            Request to renew this Lease with respect to the Leased Property for an additional five-year Lease Renewal Term after the First Renewal Term (the “Renewal Option”) on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the other Operative Documents to which Lessee or an Affiliate of Lessee is a party; provided, however, that the Renewal Option shall be available at the end of the Term only if the conditions to the Renewal Option set forth herein and in Section 4.7 of the Participation Agreement are satisfied; and provided, further, that the Renewal Option shall not be exercisable for a total of more than one (1) Lease Renewal Term after the First Renewal Term;

 

(b)            Purchase for an amount in immediately available funds equal to the Purchase Amount all, but not less than all, of the Leased Property, other Collateral and Parcel D Ground Leased Property on or before the last day of the Term (the “Purchase Option”); and if Lessee shall have elected to purchase the Leased Property, other Collateral and Parcel D Ground Leased Property, (1) Lessee may (A) assign its right to purchase the Leased Property, other Collateral and Parcel D Ground Leased Property hereunder to a third party, in which case such third party shall consummate the purchase of the Leased Property, other Collateral and Parcel D Ground Leased Property on or before the last day of the Term; provided that, if such third party fails to consummate the purchase of the Leased Property, other Collateral and Parcel D Ground Leased Property on or before the last day of the Term, Lessee shall consummate the purchase of the Leased Property, other Collateral and Parcel D Ground Leased Property on the last day of the Term or (B) designate a third party to acquire title to the Leased Property, other Collateral and Parcel D Ground Leased Property, without assigning Lessee’s rights to purchase the Leased Property, other Collateral and Parcel D Ground Leased Property hereunder and (2) Lessor shall, upon the payment to Administrative Agent of the Purchase Amount then due and payable by Lessee under the Operative Documents, transfer all of Lessor’s right, title and interest in and to the Leased Property, other Collateral and Parcel D Ground Leased Property to Lessee or such other party designated by Lessee pursuant to Section 21.1; or

 

(c)            Commit to sell on behalf of Lessor for cash to a single purchaser not in any way affiliated with Lessee or any of its Subsidiaries all, but not less than all, of the Leased Property, other Collateral and Parcel D Ground Leased Property on the last day of the Term (the “Sale Option”). Lessee’s right to sell the Leased Property, other Collateral and Parcel D Ground Leased Property pursuant to the Sale Option shall be conditioned upon and subject to the fulfillment by Lessee of each of the terms and conditions applicable to Lessee set forth in Article XX (unless waived in accordance with the terms set forth therein). In addition, such sale shall be subject to all subleases with respect to the Leased Property to Persons who are not Affiliates or Subsidiaries of Parent Guarantor, the Home Depot Ground Lease and the Parcel D Ground Lease. Lessee shall not enter into any additional subleases or renew any subleases (other than on market terms or otherwise pursuant to express rights therefor under the existing subleases) with respect to the Leased Property following Lessee’s election of the Sale Option. Following Lessee’s election of the Sale Option, Lessee shall not remove any Modifications or commence any voluntary Modifications under Section 10.1(a)(ii) (other than Required Modifications) without the consent of the Required Participants (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless required to comply with Applicable Laws or avoid or address an emergency.

 

 

Section 19.2.    Election of Options. Unless (i) Lessee shall have affirmatively elected the Sale Option within the time period provided for in Section 19.1 and satisfied each of the requirements in Articles XX and XXI (unless waived in accordance with the terms set forth therein), (ii) Lessee shall have elected to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Leased Property pursuant to Article XVIII or (iii) Lessee shall have elected the Renewal Option and a renewal pursuant to such Renewal Option shall have become effective in accordance with Section 4.7 of the Participation Agreement and all other conditions to such renewal set forth in Section 4.7 of the Participation Agreement and Section 19.3 hereof have been satisfied, Lessee shall be deemed to have elected the Purchase Option. In addition, the Sale Option shall automatically be revoked if there exists an Event of Default, Significant Environmental Event or an Event of Loss at any time after the Sale Option is properly elected or the Lessee fails to pay the Sale Option Recourse Amount to the Administrative Agent by not later than the last day of the Term then in effect (unless this Lease is renewed for an additional Lease Renewal Term after the Restatement Date in accordance with the terms hereof). In the event of any such automatic revocation of the Sale Option (i) as a result of an Event of Default, Lessor shall be entitled to exercise all rights and remedies provided in Article XVI (subject to the Lessee’s rights set forth in Section 18.1), and (ii) as a result of an Event of Loss or Specified Significant Environmental Event, Lessor shall be entitled to exercise all rights and remedies provided in Article XV. Lessee may not elect the Sale Option or the Renewal Option if there exists on the date the election is made an Event of Default, Significant Environmental Event or an Event of Loss. Any election by Lessee of the Purchase Option pursuant to Section 19.1(b) shall be irrevocable at the time made. The election of the Sale Option shall not limit any remedies of Lessor under Article XVI.

 

Section 19.3.    Renewal Options. The exercise of any Renewal Option by Lessee shall be subject to satisfaction of the following conditions:

 

(i)            on the Expiration Date then in effect no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and on the date Lessee gives written notice of its exercise of the Renewal Option, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

 

(ii)            Lessee shall not have exercised the Sale Option or the Purchase Option and

 

(iii)           each of the other conditions for the Renewal Option set forth in Section 4.7(a) of the Participation Agreement and in Section 19.2(iii) hereof have been satisfied.

 

Lessee’s exercise of a Renewal Option shall be deemed to be a representation by Lessee that on both the Expiration Date then in effect and the date Lessee gives notice of its exercise of the Renewal Option, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

 

 

Article XX
Sale Option

 

Section 20.1.    Sale Option Procedures. The Lessee’s effective exercise and consummation of the Sale Option with respect to the Leased Property, other Collateral and Parcel D Ground Leased Property shall be subject to the due and timely fulfillment of each of the following provisions as to the Leased Property as of the dates set forth below.

 

(a)            The Lessee shall have given to Lessor and Administrative Agent written notice of the Lessee’s exercise of the Sale Option in accordance with Section 19.1.

 

(b)            Prior to the Expiration Date, Lessee shall furnish to Lessor and the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly distribute the same to the Rent Assignees) and, if the Leased Property is to be sold on the Expiration Date, the independent purchaser hereunder a reasonably current Environmental Audit dated no earlier than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the Expiration Date (or such later date approved in writing by Lessor) and addressed to the Lessor (or accompanied by a letter from the consultant performing such Environmental Audit which allows the Lessor to rely on such report). Such Environmental Audit shall be prepared by an environmental consultant selected by Lessee subject to Lessor’s reasonable approval and shall contain conclusions reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor, the Participants and such purchaser as to the environmental status of the Leased Property. If any such Environmental Audit indicates any recognized environmental conditions with respect to the Leased Property not rising to the level of a Significant Environmental Event, Lessee shall take (at Lessee’s sole cost and expense) such investigative, remedial or other actions as shall be necessary to cure any such recognized environmental condition to the extent required by Environmental Laws and this Lease, and Lessee shall cause to be delivered (at Lessee’s sole cost and expense) prior to the Expiration Date for the Leased Property a written statement by such environmental consultant detailing all such actions and indicating in his or her opinion that, to the extent required by this Lease, all remedial actions indicated in such Environmental Audit have been undertaken and completed in compliance with Applicable Laws.

 

(c)            No Event of Default, Significant Environmental Event or Event of Loss shall have occurred and be continuing on or at any time following the date of Lessee’s notice of exercise of the Sale Option.

 

(d)            Upon surrender of the Leased Property, (i) the Leased Property shall be in the condition required by Section 9.1, (ii) there shall be no deferred maintenance in respect of the Leased Property, and (iii) Lessee shall have remediated any Environmental Violation, and taken all other actions necessary to fully address any outstanding Environmental Claim with respect to the Leased Property, each in accordance with the terms of this Lease and at Lessee’s sole cost and expense.

 

(e)            The Lessee shall, as nonexclusive agent for Lessor, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the highest cash purchase price for the Leased Property. The Lessee will be responsible for hiring brokers and making the Leased Property available for inspection by prospective purchasers. The Lessee shall (i) upon reasonable notice during normal business hours (subject to Lessee’s customary security and safety measures), upon request, permit inspection of the Leased Property and any Leased Property Records by Lessor, the Administrative Agent and any potential purchasers; provided that the limitations on inspections and the rights of the Lessee set forth in Section 4.2 shall apply to this Section 20.1, mutatis mutandis, and (ii) otherwise do all things reasonably necessary to sell and deliver possession of the Leased Property to any purchaser (subject to all subleases with respect to the Leased Property to Persons who are not Affiliates or Subsidiaries of Parent Guarantor, the Home Depot Ground Lease and the Parcel D Ground Lease).

 

 

(f)            The Lessee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to procure bids from one or more bona fide prospective purchasers to purchase the Leased Property, which shall include Lessor and its Affiliates. No such purchaser shall be the Lessee or any Subsidiary of the Lessee (except as set forth in the last paragraph of this Section 20.1).

 

(g)            The Lessee shall submit all bids to Lessor and the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly distribute the same to the Rent Assignees), and Lessor will have the right to review the same and to submit any one or more bids. All bids shall be on an all-cash basis unless Lessor and the Participants shall otherwise agree in their sole discretion. The Lessee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Lessor and the Required Participants not less than ninety (90) days prior to the Expiration Date a binding written unconditional (except as set forth below), irrevocable offer by such purchaser or purchasers offering the highest all-cash bid to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Leased Property, other Collateral and Parcel D Ground Leased Property (unless otherwise agreed to by Lessor and the Required Participants). If Lessor in the exercise of its reasonable judgment believes that the Gross Proceeds to be paid to Lessor pursuant to clause (l) below from a proposed bid which the Lessee desires to accept is less than the Fair Market Value, then Lessor shall promptly provide written notice thereof to Lessee and Lessee’s rights hereunder shall be further conditioned upon Lessor’s receipt of an appraisal demonstrating that such proposed bid is for an amount at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the Leased Property as established by such appraisal. In such case then Lessor shall, promptly following the receipt of such notice from Lessor, engage an appraiser, reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and Lessee, at Lessee’s expense, to determine (by appraisal methods reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and the Required Participants) the Fair Market Value of the Leased Property as of the Expiration Date. A copy of such appraisal shall be delivered to Lessor and the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly distribute the same to the Rent Assignees) not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Expiration Date. The appraiser will be instructed to assume that the Leased Property is in the condition required by and has been maintained in accordance with this Lease. Notwithstanding anything contained in this clause (g) to the contrary, in the event Lessor received a bona fide all cash offer which the Lessee desires to accept from a credit worthy offeror (which shall include Lessor and any Affiliate thereof) for an amount equal to the Lease Balance and all other amounts owing by Lessee to the Administrative Agent, if any, and/or the Participants under the Operative Documents (including, but without duplication, accrued and unpaid Rent) (after deduction of all sales costs, expenses and related taxes), Lessor must sell the Leased Property, other Collateral and Parcel D Ground Leased Property for such amount to the extent the conditions therefor are satisfied and Lessor shall have no right to require an appraisal demonstrating that such proposed bid is for an amount at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the Leased Property.

 

 

(h)            In connection with any such sale of the Leased Property, other Collateral and Parcel D Ground Leased Property, the Lessee will provide to the purchaser all customary “seller’s” indemnities, representations and warranties, customary representations and warranties regarding title and the absence of Liens (except (i) in the case of the Leased Property and other Collateral, Lessor Liens and Permitted Liens of the type described in clauses (a) (excluding Liens relating to the interest or rights of Lessee), (b), (c), (f), (g), (h), (i), (j), (k) or (m) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” and (ii) in the case of the Parcel D Ground Leased Property, Liens permitted by the Parcel D Ground Lease) and the condition of such Leased Property. The Lessee shall have obtained or caused to be obtained, at its cost and expense, all required governmental and regulatory consents and approvals and shall have made all filings as required by Applicable Laws in order to carry out and complete the transfer of the Leased Property, other Collateral and Parcel D Ground Leased Property. As to Lessor, any such sale shall be made on an “as is, where is, with all faults” basis without representation or warranty by Lessor, other than the absence of Lessor Liens. Any agreement as to such sale shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor.

 

(i)            All costs, Impositions and expenses of or arising from the sale of the Leased Property, other Collateral and Parcel D Ground Leased Property, incurred by the Participants, Administrative Agent or the Lessee, including the cost of all title searches, surveys, environmental audits, appraisals, transfer taxes, Lessor’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, the Lessee’s attorneys’ fees, commissions, escrow fees, recording fees, and all applicable documentary and other transfer and document taxes and Impositions shall be paid out of the sale proceeds as set forth in Section 5.3 of the Participation Agreement; provided that Lessee shall pay directly any such amounts incurred by Lessee in excess of amounts Lessor, acting in good faith, deems reasonable.

 

(j)            Whether or not a sale of the Leased Property, other Collateral and Parcel D Ground Leased Property is completed on the Expiration Date, Lessee shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Lessor on or prior to the Expiration Date (or, if earlier, the date on which a sale of the Leased Property, other Collateral and Parcel D Ground Leased Property is consummated), (or in the case of Supplemental Rent, to the Person entitled thereto) an amount equal to, without duplication, (i) the Sale Option Recourse Amount plus (ii) all accrued and unpaid Rent (including Supplemental Rent, if any) and all other amounts hereunder which have accrued or will accrue prior to or as of the Expiration Date in the type of funds specified in Section 3.4 hereof.

 

(k)            The Lessee shall pay to Lessor on or prior to the Expiration Date the amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to Article XIII of the Participation Agreement.

 

 

(l)            If a sale of the Leased Property, other Collateral and Parcel D Ground Leased Property is consummated on or before the Expiration Date, Lessee shall pay, or cause to be paid, directly to Lessor the gross proceeds (the “Gross Proceeds”) of such sale (i.e., without deduction for any marketing, closing or other costs, prorations or commissions); and such Gross Proceeds shall be applied as set forth in Section 5.3(d) of the Participation Agreement and Section 20.1(i) above.

 

(m)          The Lessee shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, assign, and shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lessor or the purchaser for obtaining any and all licenses, permits, approvals and consents of any Governmental Authorities or other Persons that are or will be required to be obtained by Lessor or such purchaser in connection with its use, operation, control or maintenance of the Leased Property and Parcel D Ground Leased Property in compliance with Applicable Laws.

 

If, after the exercise by the Lessee of the Sale Option, one or more of the foregoing provisions of this Section 20.1 shall not be fulfilled as of the date set forth therein (and, other than in the case of Section 20.1(c) and any provision required to be fulfilled on the Expiration Date or on the date of a consummation of a sale, Lessor or the Administrative Agent shall have delivered written notice thereof to the Lessee and any such provision is not fulfilled within five (5) Business Days of such notice), then Lessor shall declare by written notice to the Lessee the exercise of the Sale Option to be null and void, in which event all of the Lessee’s rights under this Section 20.1 shall immediately terminate and the Lessee shall be obligated to purchase the Leased Property, other Collateral and Parcel D Ground Leased Property pursuant to Section 19.1(b) on the Expiration Date.

 

Except as expressly set forth herein, the Lessee shall have no right, power or authority to bind Lessor in connection with any proposed sale of the Leased Property, the other Collateral or Parcel D Ground Leased Property.

 

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the Leased Property, other Collateral and Parcel D Ground Leased Property has not been sold to a third party purchaser by the Expiration Date, then the Lessee shall pay to the Administrative Agent on or before the Expiration Date the Sale Option Recourse Amount, the Lessee shall have been deemed to have purchased the Leased Property, other Collateral and Parcel D Ground Leased Property, and Lessor shall transfer title to the Leased Property, other Collateral and Parcel D Ground Leased Property to the Lessee pursuant to Section 21.1(iv) of this Lease and the Lessee shall accept title to the Leased Property, other Collateral and Parcel D Ground Leased Property as a result of such deemed purchase. Lessor agrees that it shall cooperate with the Lessee in effecting any transfer to a designee of the Lessee pursuant to this paragraph.

During the period following Lessee’s exercise of the Sale Option and until and including the Expiration Date (or, if earlier, the date on which a sale is consummated), the obligation of the Lessee to pay Rent with respect to the Leased Property (including the installment of Rent due on the Expiration Date (or, if earlier, the date on which a sale is consummated)) shall continue undiminished. Lessor shall have the right, but shall be under no duty, to solicit bids, to inquire into the efforts of the Lessee to obtain bids or otherwise to take action in connection with any such sale, other than as expressly provided in this Article XX.

Article XXIV
Intent of The Parties

 

Section 24.1.      Nature of Transaction. It is the intention of the parties that:

 

(a)            For all purposes, including GAAP, federal and all state and local income and transfer taxes, bankruptcy, insolvency, conservatorships and receiverships (including the substantive law upon which bankruptcy, conservatorship and insolvency and receivership proceedings are based), real estate and commercial law and UCC purposes:

 

(i)             the Overall Transaction constitutes a secured lending transaction by the Participants to Lessee and preserves beneficial ownership in the Leased Property in Lessee, Lessor holds only legal title to the Leased Property within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. Section 541(d), Lessee (and not the Lessor, the Administrative Agent or the other Participants) will be entitled to all tax benefits with respect to the Leased Property and other Collateral available to the owner of the Leased Property for tax purposes, the obligations of Lessee to pay Basic Rent shall be treated as payments of interest to the Participants, the payment by Lessee of any amounts in respect of the Lease Balance (other than Basic Rent) shall be treated as payments of principal to the Participants and, in the event Lessee purchases the Leased Property pursuant to the terms hereof and pays in full the Lease Balance and all other amounts outstanding under the Operative Documents, legal title to the Leased Property shall automatically vest in the Lessee; and

 

(ii)             in order to secure the secured lending obligations of Lessee now existing or hereafter arising under this Lease or any of the other Operative Documents, this Lease, together with the other Security Instruments, creates a first priority (subject to Permitted Liens) security interest in or a lien on the Site, the Leased Property and the other Collateral in favor of the Lessor or Administrative Agent, as applicable, and for the benefit of the Participants to secure Lessee’s payment and performance of the Obligations.

 

Nevertheless, each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that none of Lessee, Lessor, the Administrative Agent, any Participant or the Arranger have made any representations or warranties concerning the tax, accounting or legal characteristics of the Operative Documents or any aspect of the Overall Transaction and that such party has obtained and relied upon such tax, accounting and legal advice concerning the Operative Documents and the Overall Transaction as such party deems appropriate.

 

 

(b)           Specifically, but without limiting the generality of subsection (b) of this Section 24.1, Lessor and the Lessee further intend and agree that for the purpose of securing the Lessee’s obligations for the repayment or performance of the Obligations, (i) this Lease shall also be deemed to be a security agreement and financing statement within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC; (ii) the conveyance provided for hereby shall be deemed to be a grant by the Lessee to Lessor, for the benefit of the Participants, of a Lien on and security interest in all of the Lessee’s present and future right, title and interest in and to the Site, the Leased Property and the other Collateral, including but not limited to the Lessee’s leasehold estate therein and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, investments, securities or other property, whether in the form of cash, investments, securities or other property to secure all advances made by the Participants pursuant to the Operative Documents and the other Obligations, effective on the Restatement Date, to have and to hold such interests in the Site, the Leased Property and the other Collateral unto Lessor, for the benefit of the Participants; (iii) the possession by Lessor of notes and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to Section 9-313 of the UCC; and (iv) notifications to Persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from financial intermediaries, bankers or agents (as applicable) of the Lessee shall be deemed to have been given for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under Applicable Laws. Lessor and the Lessee shall, to the extent consistent with this Lease, take such actions and execute, deliver, file and record such other documents, financing statements, mortgages and deeds of trust as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Lease were deemed to create a security interest in the Site, the Leased Property and the other Collateral in accordance with this Section, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest in the Site, the Leased Property and the other Collateral with priority over all Liens, other than Permitted Liens, under Applicable Laws and will be maintained as such throughout the Term.

 

Section 24.2.      Lessee Grant of Liens and Security Interests. (a) For the purposes of the creation and enforcement of this Lease as a mortgage and security agreement, the Lessee hereby grants, bargains, sells, warrants, conveys, aliens, remises, releases, assigns, sets over and confirms a security interest in the Site, the Leased Property and the other Collateral (consisting of a mortgage with respect to the Site and the Leased Property) all with power of sale to the Lessor and its successors and permitted assigns to secure all advances made by the Participants pursuant to the Operative Documents and the other Obligations.

(iv) all right, title and interest of Lessee in any and all leases, rental agreements and arrangements of any sort now or hereafter affecting the Leased Property or any portion thereof and providing for or resulting in the payment of money to Lessee for the use of the Leased Property or any portion thereof, whether the user enjoys the Leased Property or any portion thereof as tenant for years, licensee, tenant at sufferance or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such leases, rental agreements and arrangements be oral or written, and including any and all extensions, renewals and modifications thereof (the “Subject Leases”) and guaranties of the performance or obligations of any tenants or lessees thereunder, together with all income, rents, issues, profits and revenues from the Subject Leases (including all tenant security deposits and all other tenant deposits, whether held by Lessee or in a trust account, and all other deposits and escrow funds relating to any Subject Leases), and all the estate, right, title, interest, property, possession, claim and demand whatsoever at law, as well as in equity, of Lessee of, in and to the same;

Lessor may, if at the time such action may be lawful and always subject to compliance with any mandatory legal requirements, by filing its notice of election and demand for sale to enforce its mortgage and to sell the Security Property, as an entirety or in parcels, by one sale or by several sales, held at one time or at different times, all as the Lessor may elect, each sale to be held at the location set forth in the notice of such proposed sale and the Lessor shall have given notices of the proposed sale in the manner hereinafter set forth, and to make due conveyance to the purchaser or purchasers, with special warranty of title or no warranty of title to such purchaser or purchasers binding upon the Lessee and its heirs, executors, administrators, and successors. Such sale must begin at the time stated in the notice referred to below in this Section or as otherwise permitted by Applicable Law. The Lessee, for itself, its heirs and assigns, and for anyone who may claim by, through or under the Lessee, hereby expressly and specifically waives all rights to a marshaling of the assets of the Lessee, including the Security Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation. Lessor may bid and become the purchaser of all or any part of the Leased Property at any such sale, and the amount of Lessor’s successful bid may be credited against the Obligations.

 

The Lessor (or a person or persons selected by the Lessor) shall promptly comply with all notice and other requirements of the laws of New York then in force with respect to such sales, and shall give any required public notice of the time and place of such sale by advertisement weekly in some newspaper of general circulation then published in the County or City and County in which the Security Property is located. No notice of such sale or sales other than the notices hereinabove provided shall be required to be given to the Lessee (or anyone who may claim by, through or under the Lessee) or any other persons and any other notice (including, without limitation, any notice of acceleration of, or intent to accelerate, the unpaid balance of any Obligation) is expressly waived.

 

The provisions of this Section with respect to posting, serving, filing, and giving notices of sale are intended to comply with all Applicable Laws. In the event the requirement for any notice, or the posting, serving, filing, or giving thereof, under any Applicable Law shall be eliminated or the prescribed manner of posting, serving, filing, or giving same is modified by future amendment to such Applicable Law, the requirement for such particular notice shall be stricken from, or the manner of posting, serving, filing, or giving any notice hereunder modified in, this Mortgage in conformity with such amendment. The manner herein prescribed for posting, serving, filing, or giving any notice, other than that to be posted and filed or caused to be posted or filed by the Lessor, shall not be deemed exclusive but such notice or notices may be posted, served, filed, or given in any other manner which may be permitted by Applicable Law. Further, in relation to this Mortgage and the exercise of any power of sale by the Lessor hereunder, if any Applicable Law shall be amended or modified to require any other notice or the posting, filing, serving, or giving thereof or any statute hereafter enacted shall require any other notice or the posting, filing, serving, or giving thereof, the Lessor or the person selected by him is hereby authorized and empowered by the Lessee to give such notice or make such posting, filing, serving, or giving thereof; provided, however, the Lessee waives such other notice or the posting, filing, serving, or giving thereof to the full extent the Lessee may lawfully so do. Any provisions of this paragraph, or any amendments to or modifications to any Applicable Law to the contrary notwithstanding, the time periods provided for in the immediately preceding paragraph in respect of which the notices provided for in said paragraph are to be given shall not be shortened or eliminated as a result of any such amendment or modification.

 

 

In addition to any other remedies granted to Lessor (including specifically, but not limited to, the right to proceed against all the Security Property in accordance with the rights and remedies in respect to those portions of the Collateral which are real property pursuant to Section 9-501(b) of the UCC), upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (but subject to the rights of the Lessee to purchase the Leased Property pursuant to the terms and within the time periods as set forth in Section 18.1, if any) Lessor may (i) proceed by a suit or suits in equity or at law, whether for a foreclosure hereunder, or for the sale of the Leased Property, or against Lessee on a recourse basis for the Lease Balance, or for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Lease or in aid of the execution of any power herein granted, or for the appointment of a receiver pending any foreclosure hereunder or the sale of the Leased Property, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy and (ii) proceed under the UCC as to all or any part of the personal property (tangible or intangible) and fixtures included with the Security Property (such portion of the Security Property being referred to herein as the “Personalty”) and shall have and may exercise with respect to the Personalty all the rights, remedies, and powers of a secured party under the UCC, including, without limitation, the right and power to sell, at one or more public or private sales, or otherwise dispose of, lease, or utilize the Personalty and any part or parts thereof in any manner authorized or permitted under the UCC after default by a debtor, and to apply the proceeds thereof toward payment of any costs and expenses and attorney’s fees and legal expenses thereby incurred by Lessor, and toward payment of the Obligations hereby secured in such order or manner as provided herein.

Lessee will indemnify and hold the Lessor harmless against any loss, liability, cost or expense, including any judgments, attorneys’ fees, costs of appeal bonds or printing costs, arising out of or relating to any proceedings instituted by any claimant alleging a violation by Lessee of Article 3-A of the New York Lien Law.

(vii)          Sections 254, 271, 272 and 291-f of New York Real Property Law. All covenants of Lessee herein contained shall be construed as affording to the Lessor rights additional to and not exclusive of the rights conferred under the provisions of Sections 254, 271, 272 and 291-f of the Real Property Law of New York (except as otherwise provided herein).

Section 24.4.      Security Agreement. This Lease shall constitute a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the state where the Leased Property is located (“UCC”), and if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (but subject to the rights of the Lessee to purchase the Leased Property pursuant to the terms and within the time periods as set forth in Section 18.1, if any), (i) Lessor shall, in addition to all other rights available at law or equity, have all of the rights provided to a secured party under Article 9 of the UCC and (ii) Lessor shall have the power and authority, after proper notice and lapse of such time as may be required by law, to sell the Leased Property and the other Collateral (or any portion thereof), either as a whole, or in separate lots or parcels or items and in such order as Lessor may elect all as provided for herein.

The Lessor shall have all rights available to a mortgagee under the laws of the State of New York. In the event that any provisions of this Lease shall be inconsistent with any Applicable Laws, the provisions of such Applicable Laws shall take precedence over such provision of this Lease, but shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provision of this Lease that can be construed in a manner consistent with such Applicable Laws. If any provision of this Lease shall grant the Lessor any rights or remedies upon default of the Lessee which are more limited than the rights that would otherwise be vested in the Lessor under such Applicable Laws in the absence of such provision, the Lessor shall be vested with the rights granted in such Applicable Laws to the full extent permitted by law.
