THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED LEASE dated as of March 19, 2004 (as amended,
supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, this "LEASE"), between
CREDIT SUISSE LEASING 92A, L.P., as Lessor ("LESSOR") and

the Original Lenders, Administrative Agent, Documentation Agent thereunder,
Syndication Agent thereunder and Arranger entered into a Participation Agreement
(as heretofore amended, the "ORIGINAL PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT") and the other

land located in Canton, Massachusetts, more particularly described in Exhibit A
attached to the Original Lease (the "ORIGINAL LAND") and the construction of a
facility thereon (the buildings, structures and improvements excluding the

"ORIGINAL PROPERTY");
B. Lessee, as Construction Agent, was engaged by Lessor pursuant to the
Original Operative Documents, to design, engineer, procure, upgrade, transport,
install and construct the Original Facility on the Original Land, and
Construction Agent completed construction of the Original Facility as required
therein.
C. Pursuant to the Original Lease, the Lessor leased the Original
Property to the Lessee.
D. Lessee desires to extend the term of the Original Lease for a period
of five (5) years beyond the Base Term Expiration Date under the Original Lease
and have Lessor obtain financing for the purchase of an additional parcel of
land located contiguous to the Original Property (the "ADDITIONAL LAND") and
existing improvements thereon (the "ADDITIONAL FACILITY"; and together with the
Additional Land, the "ADDITIONAL PROPERTY").
E. On the Documentation Date, the parties thereto will enter into the
Amended and Restated Participation Agreement and certain other Operative
Documents for the purpose of amending and restating the Original Participation
Agreement and certain Original Operative Documents in their entirety, including
to add New Participants, to provide for the extension of the Original Lease and
Original Financing and to provide financing for the acquisition of the
Additional Property.
F. Upon such acquisition, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Lease, the Participation Agreement and the other Operative Documents, the
Additional Property will become subject to this Lease and the other Operative
Documents.
G. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, the Participation
Agreement and the other Operative Documents, on the Documentation Date Lessor
will continue to lease the
LEASE
Original Property to Lessee and, on the Acquisition Date Lessor will lease the
Additional Property to Lessee, in each case for the Lease Term pursuant to this
Lease.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained
and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound
hereby, hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I

otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned thereto in Appendix 1 to that
certain Amended and Restated Participation Agreement dated as of March 19, 2004,
among Lessee, Lessor, Administrative Agent and Lenders identified therein (the
"PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT"). From and after the date hereof, all references in

and Restated Lease. All obligations imposed on the Lessee in this Lease shall be
the full recourse liability of the Lessee.
ARTICLE II
LEASE OF PROPERTY; LEASE TERM
SECTION 2.1 ACCEPTANCE AND LEASE OF PROPERTY AND FACILITIES.
(a) On the Documentation Date Lessor hereby agrees with respect to
the Original Property, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the
conditions set forth in Article III of the Participation Agreement, to
continue to lease such Property to Lessee and Lessee, subject to
satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article III of the
Participation Agreement, hereby agrees, expressly for the direct benefit of
Lessor, to continue to lease, commencing on such Documentation Date, from
Lessor for the Lease Term, such Property. On the Acquisition Date, Lessor,
subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in

accept delivery on such Acquisition Date of the Additional Property to be
delivered on such Acquisition Date pursuant to the terms of the
Participation Agreement and simultaneously to lease such Property to Lessee
hereunder, and Lessee, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the
conditions set forth in Article III of the Participation Agreement, hereby
agrees, expressly for the direct benefit of Lessor, to lease commencing on
such Acquisition Date from Lessor for the remainder of the Lease Term, such
Property to be delivered on Acquisition Date.
(b) On the Documentation Date, this Lease shall amend and completely
restate and supersede the Original Lease. Notwithstanding the amendment and
restatement of the Original Lease by this Lease, the indebtedness,
liabilities and obligations owing to the Lessor, Agent and the Participants

and shall continue to be secured by the
2
LEASE
collateral described in and pursuant to this Lease and the other Loan
Documents, but are payable in accordance with the terms of this Lease and
other Operative Documents. This Lease is given in substitution for, and as
a continuation and extension of, the Original Lease and does not evidence a
repayment and reborrowing of the obligations of the Lessee under such
agreement and is in no way intended to constitute a novation of the
Original Lease and the Liens granted with respect thereto herein and in the
other Operative Documents shall be continuing.
SECTION 2.2 ACCEPTANCE PROCEDURE. One or more employees of Lessee
designated by the Lessee, as the authorized representative or representatives of
the Lessor, accepted delivery on behalf of Lessor of the Original Property
pursuant to the Original Operative Documents. Lessee hereby agrees that
execution and delivery by Lessee on the Documentation Date of Lease Supplement
No. 1 substantially in the form of EXHIBIT A hereto (appropriately completed)
shall, without further act, constitute the irrevocable reaffirmation of the
acceptance by Lessee of the Original Property for all purposes of this Lease and
the other Operative Documents on the terms set forth therein and herein. Lessor
hereby authorizes one or more employees of Lessee, to be designated by Lessee,
as the authorized representative or representatives of Lessor to accept delivery
of the Additional Property identified on the Acquisition Date. Lessee hereby
agrees that such acceptance of delivery by such authorized representative or
representatives and the execution and delivery by Lessee on the Acquisition Date
of Lease Supplement No. 2 substantially in the form of EXHIBIT A hereto
(appropriately completed) shall, without further act, constitute the irrevocable
acceptance by Lessee of the Additional Property and any improvements built or to
be built thereon for all purposes of this Lease and the other Operative
Documents on the terms set forth therein and herein.
SECTION 2.3 LEASE TERM. Unless earlier terminated, the term of this Lease
shall consist of (a) a base term (the "BASE TERM"), commencing on and including
(i) the Documentation Date, in the case of the Original Property and (ii) the
Acquisition Date, in the case of the Additional Property, and ending on the
fifth anniversary of the Documentation Date (the "BASE TERM EXPIRATION DATE")
and (b) each Renewal Term, if agreed upon (the Base Term and each Renewal Term,
if any, collectively the "LEASE TERM").
SECTION 2.4 LEASE EXTENSION. Lessee may elect to extend this Lease (a
"RENEWAL OPTION"), with the consent of Lessor, for an additional five-year
renewal term (the "RENEWAL TERM"), commencing immediately following expiration
of the preceding term, each such renewal option not to be exercised more than
two (2) times, and such renewals being further subject to the coterminous
extension of the maturity date of the Loan Agreement; provided that Lessee's
election to extend the Lease for a Renewal Term shall be null and void and of no
force or effect unless, as of the last day of the Base Term, Lessee shall have
satisfactorily fulfilled each of the terms and conditions respecting the Renewal
Term set forth in SECTION 6.4 hereof and Section 2.8 of the Participation
Agreement.

ARTICLE III
OTHER PROPERTY
Lessee may from time to time own or hold under lease from Persons other
than Lessor and/or finance and secure under the UCC, furniture, inventory,
machinery, trade fixtures and equipment located on or about the Property that is
not subject to this Lease. Lessor shall from time to time, upon the reasonable
request, and at the cost and expense of Lessee, which request shall be
accompanied by such supporting information and documents as Lessor may
reasonably require, promptly acknowledge in writing to Lessee or other Persons
that the particular items of furniture, inventory, machinery, trade fixtures and
equipment in question are not part of the related Property and that, subject to
the rights of Lessor under any other Operative Documents, Lessor does not own or
have any other right or interest in or to such furniture, inventory, machinery,
trade fixtures and equipment.
ARTICLE IV
RENT
SECTION 4.1 BASIC RENT. Lessee shall pay to Lessor installment payments of
Basic Rent during the Base Term and, if applicable, each Renewal Term then in
effect, on each Rent Payment Date. Each installment of Basic Rent shall be in an
amount equal to the sum of Interest and Yield due and payable to the
Participants on such date by the Lessor.
SECTION 4.2 SUPPLEMENTAL RENT. Lessee shall pay to Lessor, or to whomever
shall be entitled thereto as expressly provided herein or in any other Operative
Document (and Lessor hereby directs Lessee, on behalf of Lessor, to so pay any
such other Person), any and all Supplemental Rent promptly as the same shall
become due and payable and, in the event of any failure on the part of Lessee to
pay any Supplemental Rent, Lessor shall have all rights, powers and remedies
provided for herein or by law or in equity or otherwise in the case of
nonpayment of Basic Rent. Lessee hereby reaffirms its obligation to pay as
Supplemental Rent any and all Additional Costs (other than Additional Costs
incurred in connection with a Loan Event of Default where no Lease Event of
Default then exists).
SECTION 4.3 MANNER OF PAYMENT. As long as any obligations remain
outstanding under the Loan Agreement, Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent shall be
paid on the due date therefor to Lessor (or, in the case of Supplemental Rent,
to such Person as may be entitled thereto) at such place as Lessor (or such
other Person) shall specify in writing to Lessee at least two (2) Business Days
prior to the due date therefor. Lessor shall notify Lessee of the applicable
Eurodollar Rate or the ABR promptly upon the determination thereof. Each payment
of Rent shall be made by Lessee prior to 11:00 a.m. Boston, Massachusetts time
(and payments made after such time shall be deemed to have been made on the next
day) at the place of payment in funds consisting of lawful currency of the
United States of America which (in the case of any amount payable to Lessor)
shall be immediately available on the scheduled date when such payment shall be
due, unless (a) with respect to Basic Rent determined by reference to the
Eurodollar Rate, the definition of "Interest Period" requires otherwise or (b)
with respect to all other Rent, the scheduled date shall not be a Business Day,
in which case such payment shall be
4
LEASE
made on the next succeeding Business Day (unless the result of such extension
would be to carry such payment into the next calendar month, in which event such
payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day). The provisions of the
foregoing sentence of this SECTION 4.3 shall be applicable only to Basic Rent
and to Supplemental Rent payable to, or on behalf of, or for the account of,
Lessor.
SECTION 4.4 LATE PAYMENT. If any Basic Rent shall not be paid when due,
Lessee shall pay to Lessor, or if any Supplemental Rent payable to or on behalf
of or for the account of Lessor is not paid when due, Lessee shall pay to
whomever shall be entitled thereto, in each case as Supplemental Rent, interest
at the Overdue Rate (to the maximum extent permitted by law) on such overdue
amount from and including the due date thereof (not including any applicable
grace period) to but excluding the Business Day of payment thereof at the
Overdue Rate.
SECTION 4.5 NET LEASE; NO SETOFF; ETC. This Lease is a net lease and,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, it is intended that Basic
Rent and Supplemental Rent shall be paid without counterclaim, setoff, deduction
or defense of any kind and without abatement, suspension, deferment, diminution
or reduction of any kind, and Lessee's obligation to pay all such amounts,
throughout the Lease Term is absolute and unconditional. The obligations and
liabilities of Lessee hereunder shall in no way be released, discharged or
otherwise affected for any reason, including, without limitation, to the maximum
extent permitted by law: (a) any defect in the condition, merchantability,
design, construction, quality or fitness for use of the Property, or any failure
of the Property to comply with all Applicable Law, including any inability to
occupy or use the Property by reason of such non-compliance; (b) any damage to,
abandonment, loss, contamination of or Release from or destruction of or any
requisition or taking of the Property or any part thereof, including eviction;
(c) any restriction, prevention or curtailment of or interference with any use
of the Property or any part thereof, including eviction; (d) any defect in title
to or rights to the Property or any Lien on such title or rights or on the
Property; (e) any change, waiver, extension, indulgence or other action or
omission or breach in respect of any obligation or liability of or by Lessor,
any Administrative Agent or any Lender; (f) any bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like
proceedings relating to Lessee, Lessor, any Administrative Agent, any Lender or
any other Person, or any action taken with respect to this Lease by any trustee
or receiver of Lessee, Lessor, any Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other
Person, or by any court, in any such proceeding; (g) any claim that Lessee has
or might have against any Person, including Lessor, or any Lender; (h) any
failure on the part of Lessor to perform or comply with any of the terms of this
Lease, any other Operative Document or of any other agreement whether or not
related to the Overall Transaction; (i) any invalidity or unenforceability or
disaffirmance against or by Lessee of this Lease or any provision hereof or any
of the other Operative Documents or any provision of any thereof; (j) the
impossibility of performance by Lessee, Lessor or both; (k) any action by any
court, administrative agency or other Authority; (l) any restriction, prevention
or curtailment of or any interference with the construction on or any use of the
Property or any part thereof; or (m) any other occurrence whatsoever, whether
similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, whether or not Lessee shall have notice
or knowledge of any of the foregoing. Except as specifically set forth in
SECTION 6.1 or ARTICLE XIII of this Lease, this Lease shall be noncancellable by
Lessee for any reason whatsoever, and Lessee, to the extent permitted by
Applicable Law, waives all rights now or
5
LEASE
hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise to quit, terminate or surrender this
Lease, or to any diminution, abatement or reduction of Rent payable by Lessee
hereunder. If for any reason whatsoever this Lease shall be terminated in whole
or in part by operation of law or otherwise, except as expressly provided in
SECTION 6.1 or ARTICLE XIII or XVIII of this Lease, Lessee shall, unless
prohibited by Applicable Law, nonetheless pay to Lessor (or, in the case of
Supplemental Rent, to whomever shall be entitled thereto) an amount equal to
each Rent payment at the time and in the manner that such payment would have
become due and payable under the terms of this Lease if it had not been
terminated in whole or in part, and in such case, so long as such payments are
made and no Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessor
will deem this Lease to have remained in effect. Each payment of Rent made by
Lessee hereunder shall be final and, absent manifest error in the computation of
the amount thereof, Lessee shall not seek or have any right to recover all or
any part of such payment from Lessor, Administrative Agent or any party to any
agreements related thereto for any reason whatsoever. Lessee assumes the sole
responsibility for the condition, use, operation, maintenance, and management of
the Property and Lessor shall have no responsibility in respect thereof and
shall have no liability for damage to the property of Lessee or any subtenant of
Lessee on any account or for any reason whatsoever other than by reason of
Lessor's willful misconduct or gross negligence or breach of any of its
obligations under this Lease.
ARTICLE V
UTILITY CHARGES
Lessee shall pay or cause to be paid all charges for electricity, power,
gas, oil, water, telephone, sanitary sewer service and all other rents and
utilities used in or on the Property during the Lease Term. Lessee shall be
entitled to receive any credit or refund with respect to any utility charge paid
by Lessee and the amount of any credit or refund received by Lessor on account
of any utility charges paid by Lessee, net of the costs and expenses reasonably
incurred by Lessor in obtaining such credit or refund, shall be promptly paid
over to Lessee. All charges for utilities imposed with respect to the Property
for a billing period during which this Lease expires or terminates (except
pursuant to SECTION 6.2, in which case Lessee shall be, solely responsible for
all such charges) shall be adjusted and prorated on a daily basis between Lessor
and Lessee, and each party shall pay or reimburse the other for each party's pro
rata share thereof.
ARTICLE VI
SALE, RETURN AND PURCHASE OPTIONS
SECTION 6.1 PURCHASE OPTION. At any time following commencement of the
Basic Term with respect to a Property and prior to the end of the Lease Term,
Lessee, at its option, will have the right from time to time and at any time
(its "PURCHASE OPTION") to purchase either (x) all (but not less than all) of
the Property then subject to this Lease or (y) the Additional Property
separately at a price equal to (i) the Property Balance of the Additional
Property, in the case of a purchase of the Additional Property, or (ii) the
Lease Balance, in the case of a purchase of all of the Property, plus, in either
case, all accrued and unpaid Rent allocable to the Property being purchased,
plus all other amounts then due and payable by Lessee under the Operative
6
LEASE
Documents (the "PURCHASE OPTION PRICE"). If Lessee shall, at any time and from
time to time, have executed a Purchase Option, Lessor shall, upon receipt of
payment in full from Lessee of the applicable Purchase Option Price in
immediately available funds, transfer all of its right, title and interest in
and to the applicable Property to Lessee or its designee, in accordance with
SECTION 16.2. Lessee, at its option, will have the right to designate a third
Person or Persons to take title to such Property; PROVIDED that (i) Lessee shall
continue to be bound by the exercise of a Purchase Option and (ii) no such
assignment shall release Lessee from its obligations under this ARTICLE VI and
Lessee shall remain primarily liable to Lessor for the payment of all amounts
due under this ARTICLE VI in respect of such Purchase Option. Lessee may revoke
its notice with respect to its election to exercise a Purchase Option at any
time prior to the beginning of the last year of the Lease Term, upon three (3)
days notice. Upon delivering such notice of revocation, Lessee may continue the
Lease with respect to such Property for the Lease Term.
SECTION 6.2 REMARKETING OPTION. If no Lease Default or Lease Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then Lessee, at its own cost and
expense, may elect to remarket all (but not less than all) of the Property
subject to the Lease and, in accordance with SECTION 6.3, as nonexclusive agent
for Lessor, use best commercial efforts to cause the Property to be sold on the
last day of the Lease Term for cash to a purchaser or purchasers not affiliated
in any way with Lessee (the "REMARKETING OPTION") if the following conditions
are satisfied:
(a) no sooner than twelve months and no later than six months prior
to the Base Term Expiration Date or a Renewal Term Expiration Date, Lessee
gives written notice of its election of the Remarketing Option;
(b) no Event of Loss exists;
(c) within five (5) Business Days after such notice of its election
of the Remarketing Option, Lessee executes and delivers an escrow, pledge
and security agreement (the "SALE DEPOSIT ESCROW AGREEMENT") with
Administrative Agent and an escrow holder selected by Administrative Agent
and reasonably acceptable to Lessee, which Sale Deposit Escrow Agreement
shall be in form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent and shall
include provisions consistent with the provisions of SECTION 6.3 and
pursuant thereto, Lessee shall contemporaneously make a security deposit in
an account maintained with the Administrative Agent or its designee (the
"SALE DEPOSIT") in cash equal to the Guaranteed Residual Amount for the
Property;
(d) Lessor shall have received, at Lessee's sole cost and expense,
evidence satisfactory to Lessor and Lenders that Lessor holds good title to
the Property, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens;
(e) Lessor shall have received, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, a
report in scope and content satisfactory to Lessor and Lenders to the
effect that the Property has been maintained in all material respects
throughout the Lease Term in accordance with the standards of this Lease
and that the remaining useful life and utility of the Property have not
been compromised;
7
LEASE
(f) Lessor shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to
Lessor and Lenders that all required Authorizations in respect of the
Property are valid and in full force and effect and there are no violations
of such Authorizations that could have an adverse effect upon the parties
or upon the Property and no event of Force Majeure exists that prevents, in
any material respect, Lessee from performing its obligations thereunder;
(g) on or before the Termination Date or the then applicable Renewal
Term Expiration Date, as applicable, Lessee shall have vacated the Property
and supplied to Lessor an Environmental Audit reasonably satisfactory in
scope and content to Lessor and Lenders and conducted by an independent
environmental engineering firm selected by Lessor and reasonably acceptable
to Lessee. Such Environmental Audit shall contain conclusions reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor and Lenders as to the environmental status of the
Property. If any such Environmental Audit indicates any exceptions, Lessee
shall have also delivered prior to such date a Phase Two environmental
assessment for the Property by such environmental engineering firm and a
written statement by such environmental engineering firm indicating that
all such exceptions have been remedied in compliance with Applicable Laws;
(h) on the Termination Date, Lessee shall have paid to Lessor in
immediately available funds all unpaid Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent;
and
(i) during the Remarketing Period, but in any event not later than
the Termination Date, Lessee shall pay on demand therefor Related Sales
Expenses to the Lessor any Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable;
and any failure of Lessee to timely so elect the Remarketing Option or any
failure of Lessee to fulfill the obligations specified in this SECTION 6.2 by
the date set forth in the applicable condition or, in the absence of an
expressed date, the last day of the Lease Term, shall terminate the Remarketing
Option, and Lessee shall purchase the Property for the Purchase Option Price.
Whether or not the Property is sold by the last day of the Lease Term
pursuant to the Remarketing Option, Lessor shall withdraw the Sale Deposit and
any earnings thereon on the last day of the Lease Term and apply such amounts in
accordance with Section 2.4 of the Loan Agreement.
SECTION 6.3 PROCEDURES FOR SALE OF THE PROPERTY.
(a) If the Remarketing Option is timely elected, during the period
commencing on the date six months prior to the scheduled end of the Lease Term
(the "REMARKETING PERIOD") Lessee, on behalf of Lessor, shall use best
commercial efforts, as nonexclusive agent for Lessor, to obtain the highest cash
bids for the purchase of the Property and, in the event it receives any bid with
respect to the Property, Lessee shall, within five (5) Business Days after
receipt thereof but at least thirty (30) Business Days prior to the last day of
the Lease Term, certify to Lessor and Administrative Agent in writing (the
"CERTIFICATION NOTICE") the amount and terms of such bid, including the proposed
sale date, and the name and address of the party or parties (who shall not be
Lessee or any Affiliate of Lessee or any Person with whom Lessee has an
understanding or arrangement regarding the future use of the Property by Lessee
or such Affiliate, but who may be
8
LEASE
Lessor, any Affiliate thereof or any Person contacted by Lessor) submitting such
bid. Lessee shall bear its own expenses and pay, as Supplemental Rent, the
Related Sales Expenses of Lessor, the Administrative Agent and each Lender in
connection with any such bidding and sale process pursuant to this SECTION 6.3
as well as all costs and expenses incurred by any party (including a buyer or
potential buyer) to place the Property in the condition required by SECTIONS 6.5
AND 9.1. All amounts from time to time held pursuant to SECTION 6.2(c) shall be
invested at the direction of Lessee (or upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of a Lease Event of Default or a Lease Default, at the direction of
the Administrative Agent) in Permitted Investments. All net interest earned on
such Permitted Investments shall be held in escrow for the account of Lessor
pursuant to the Sale Deposit Escrow Agreement and shall constitute part of the
Sale Deposit. Upon termination of the Sale Deposit Escrow Agreement, after
payment by Lessee of all amounts owed by Lessee under this Lease and the other
Operative Documents, any remaining amount of such interest shall be remitted to
Lessee.
(b) After the Lessee shall have certified to Lessor all bids received with
respect to the Property, Lessor or any Affiliate of Lessor, or any Person
contacted by Lessor may submit a further binding bid or bids (subject to
customary conditions precedent to closing) to Lessee not later than thirty (30)
Business Days after the receipt of the last delivered Certification Notice for
such Property to Lessor. If Lessor, Administrative Agent or any Affiliate of
Lessor or any Person contacted by any of the foregoing shall not have submitted
further bids to Lessee with respect to the Property, and provided that no Lease
Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the
date of the proposed sale and no Event of Loss shall have occurred with respect
to the Property, Lessee shall consummate the sale of the Property to the highest
all cash bidder or bidders therefor that result in the maximum amount of
Proceeds for each Property on the date specified by Lessee in the related
Certification Notice, which date shall be a date not later than the last day of
the Lease Term. Upon consummation of the sale, Lessee shall cause buyer to pay
all gross proceeds from the sale or sales to Lessor (the "PROCEEDS"). Upon the
receipt of such Proceeds by the Lessor and satisfaction of each of the
conditions set forth in SECTION 6.2, including withdrawal of the Sale Deposit
(i) Lessor shall remit to Lessee the excess, if any, of (A) the sum of the
Proceeds attributable to a Property and the Guaranteed Residual Amount for such
Property (which amount shall be withdrawn from the escrow account maintained
pursuant to SECTION 6.2(c)) over (B) the sum of the Property Balance for such
Property, all accrued and unpaid Interest and Yield thereon and all other
amounts then due and payable by Lessee under the Operative Documents. In such
case, the sum of Proceeds and the Guaranteed Residual Amount retained by Lessor
shall be applied in accordance with Section 3 of the Loan Agreement. If the
amount in CLAUSE (A) above is less than the amount in CLAUSE (B) above, Lessee
will not receive any such amount and the amount in CLAUSE (A) will be applied in
accordance with Section 3 of the Loan Agreement and (ii) Lessor shall transfer
all of Lessor's right, title and interest in such Property to the highest bidder
in accordance with SECTION 16.2.
(c) If Lessee exercises the Remarketing Option, Lessor may, at its option,
if the aggregate Proceeds attributable to a Property and Guaranteed Residual
Amount for such Property are not reasonably anticipated to exceed the Property
Balance for such Property on the last day of the Lease Term, request Lessee to
engage an appraiser of nationally recognized standing, at Lessee's expense, to
determine (by appraisal methods reasonably satisfactory to both Lessor and
Lessee and complying with generally accepted appraisal procedures for the type
of property
9
LEASE
being appraised) the Fair Market Sales Value of the Property or Properties sold
pursuant to the Remarketing Option. If the aggregate Proceeds from sales of a
Property pursuant to the Remarketing Option are less than the Fair Market Sales
Value of such Property as determined by the foregoing appraisal and such
deficiency is determined to be the result of one or more sales below the Fair
Market Sales Value of such Property, and Lessor has not received aggregate
Proceeds and Guaranteed Residual Amounts in an amount at least equal to such
Property Balance, Lessee shall have the absolute obligation to pay to Lessor, as
Supplemental Rent, such shortfall (i.e., the appraised Fair Market Sales Value
less the Proceeds, but not in excess of the outstanding Property Balance (after
payment of Proceeds and the Guaranteed Residual Amounts to Lessor))
SECTION 6.4 EXERCISE OF OPTIONS; FAILURE TO ELECT. Lessee shall give
irrevocable written notice to Lessor not less than six months prior to the Base
Term Expiration Date or Renewal Term Expiration Date, as the case may be, that
Lessee intends to exercise its Purchase Option, Remarketing Option or Renewal
Option (to the extent available). If Lessee shall fail to deliver such written
notice in the time required, Lessee shall be deemed to have elected the Purchase
Option under SECTION 6.1. Lessee's election (or deemed election) of the Purchase
Option will be irrevocable at the time it is made (or deemed made). If Lessee
has elected the Remarketing Option under SECTION 6.2, such option shall be
automatically revoked and such election shall be deemed of no effect if, on or
after the date Lessee elects such option, there exists or occurs a Lease Event
of Default or Lease Default or Lessee shall fail in any manner fully to comply
with this ARTICLE VI, including the conditions set forth in SECTION 6.2, in
which case Lessee shall be automatically deemed to have elected the Purchase
Option pursuant to SECTION 6.1.
SECTION 6.5 RETURN OF PROPERTY. Lessee shall cooperate with any independent
buyer of the Property in order to facilitate the ownership and operation by such
buyer of the Property after the Termination Date, including providing all books,
reports and records regarding the maintenance, repair and ownership of the
Property and all know-how, data and technical information relating thereto,
granting or assigning all licenses necessary for the operation and maintenance
of the Property and cooperating in seeking and obtaining all necessary
Governmental Action. The obligations of Lessee under this SECTION 6.5 shall
survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. Unless Lessee shall have
exercised or been deemed to have exercised its Purchase Option not less than six
months prior to the Termination Date, Lessor shall at Lessee's expense be
entitled to perform an investigation, including obtaining reports of engineers
and other experts as to the condition and state of repair and maintenance
required by this SECTION 6.5 and as to the compliance with Environmental Laws
applicable to the Property, as it deems appropriate. Lessee, at its sole cost
and expense, shall cause the repair or other remediation of any discrepancies
between the actual condition of the Property and the condition required under
this Lease, such repair or remediation to be completed not later than the
earlier of the expiration of this Lease and the date the Property is sold
pursuant to the Remarketing Option.
SECTION 6.6 REMARKETING FAILURE TO SELL PROPERTY. If Lessee shall exercise
the Remarketing Option and neither Lessee nor Lessor shall sell the Property on
or before the last
10
LEASE
day of the Lease Term in accordance with and subject to the provisions of
SECTIONS 6.3 and 6.5, then Lessee and Lessor hereby agree as follows:
(a) After the last day of the Lease Term, Lessor shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to sell the Property for such purchase price
and upon such terms as Lessor shall determine in its sole discretion. If
Lessor shall elect to sell the Property after the expiration of the Lease
Term, Lessor shall notify Lessee, and Lessee shall have the right to cause
any Person to submit a bid to Lessor not later than twenty (20) Business
Days prior to the date Lessor desires to sell the Property (as set forth in
the notice thereof to Lessee); provided, however, that Lessor shall have
the right, in its sole discretion, from time to time, to defer such
proposed sale date, in which event, the right of Lessee to cause any Person
to submit a bid to Lessor shall be extended to the date that is twenty (20)
Business Days prior to the revised proposed sale date. At no time shall
Lessor be obligated to accept any bid for the sale of the Property (whether
such bid was obtained by Lessee or otherwise) or to consummate any proposed
sale.
(b) Contemporaneously with the consummation of any sale of the unsold
Property by Lessor pursuant to this SECTION 6.6, (i) Lessee will transfer
all of Lessee's right, title and interest in the Property to be transferred
to the buyer; (ii) Lessor shall exercise such rights as it has to cause
such Property to be released from the Lien of the Mortgage and shall,
without recourse or warranty (except as to the absence of Lessor Liens),
transfer by quitclaim Lessor's right, title and interest in and to the
Property for cash to such purchaser; and (iii) Lessor shall remit to Lessee
the excess, if any, of (a) the Proceeds received by Lessor from the sale of
such Property over (b) the sum of the then current Property Balance for
such Property (taking into account withdrawal and application of Sales
Deposit on the last day of the Lease Term pursuant to Section 6.2) plus all
unpaid Interest and Yield on the daily outstanding Property Balance from
the last day of the Lease Term through the payment date.
(c) To the greatest extent permitted by law, Lessee hereby
unconditionally and irrevocably waives, and releases Lessor from, any right
to require Lessor to sell the Property at all or for any minimum purchase
price or on any particular terms and conditions. Lessee hereby agrees that
if Lessee shall elect the Remarketing Option, its ability to sell the
Property on or prior to the expiration of the Lease Term and its right,
thereafter to cause the Person to submit a bid to Lessor pursuant to this
SECTION 6.6(c) in the event Lessor shall elect to sell the Property, shall
constitute full and complete protection of Lessee's interest hereunder.
(d) If the Property shall remain unsold on the last day of the Lease
Term, Lessor may, on such date, withdraw the Sale Deposit for distribution
to the Lenders in accordance with Article III of the Loan Agreement. If the
Property is sold thereafter at any time on or before the second anniversary
of the termination date, SECTION 6.6(b) shall apply and Lessee and Lessor
shall take the actions required by such Section. If the Property remains
unsold on such second anniversary, Lessor shall have obtained, on or prior
to such date, at Lessee's expense, an appraisal by an appraiser of
nationally recognized standing selected by Lessor, to determine (by
appraisal methods reasonably satisfactory to both Lessor and Lessee and
complying with generally accepted appraisal
11
LEASE
procedures for the type of property being appraised) the Fair Market Sales
Value of the Property. Lessor shall pay to Lessee on such second
anniversary the positive difference, if any, between (i) the amount of the
Guaranteed Residual Amount for such Property paid by Lessee or withdrawn
from the Sale Deposit and (ii) the difference between (A) the Property
Balance for such Property prior to application of the Guaranteed Residual
Amount thereto, and (B) the Fair Market Sales Value of such Property as
determined by such appraisal. In exchange for such payment, Lessee shall
transfer to Lessor all of Lessee's right, title and interest in such
Property.
ARTICLE VII
CONDITION AND USE OF PROPERTY
SECTION 7.1 WAIVERS. LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, ALTHOUGH LESSOR
WILL OWN AND HOLD TITLE TO THE PROPERTY, LESSEE IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
PROPERTY AND ANY MODIFICATIONS THERETO. Each Property is let by Lessor "AS IS"
in its present or then condition, as the case may be, subject to (a) any rights
of any parties in possession thereof, (b) the state of the title thereto
existing at the Lease Commencement Date with respect thereto, (c) any state of
facts which an accurate survey or physical inspection might show (including any
survey delivered on the Acquisition Date or the Documentation Date), (d) all
Applicable Law, and (e) any violations of Applicable Law which may exist at the
commencement of the applicable Lease Term. Lessee has, or upon the Acquisition
Date with respect to the Additional Property will have, examined the applicable
Property and (insofar as Lessor is concerned) has found the same to be
satisfactory. NEITHER LESSOR, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY LENDER HAS MADE
OR SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, OR SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE ANY LIABILITY WHATSOEVER AS TO THE TITLE TO
THE PROPERTY OR THE FACILITY OR TO THE VALUE, MERCHANTABILITY, HABITABILITY,
CONDITION, OR FITNESS FOR USE OF THE PROPERTY OR THE FACILITY, OR ANY PART
THEREOF, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY OR THE FACILITY, OR ANY PART THEREOF, AND NEITHER
LESSOR, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY LENDER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LATENT,
HIDDEN, OR PATENT DEFECT THEREIN OR THE FAILURE OF THE PROPERTY OR THE FACILITY,
OR ANY PART THEREOF, TO COMPLY WITH ANY APPLICABLE LAW, except that Lessor
hereby represents and warrants that each Property is, or upon acquisition by
Lessor will be, and shall be free of Lessor Liens. Lessee initially selected
each Property. Lessee has been afforded full opportunity to inspect each
Property, is satisfied with the results of its inspections and is entering into
this Lease solely on the basis of the results of its own inspections, and all
risks incident to the matters discussed in the preceding sentence, as between
Lessor, Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the one hand, and Lessee, on
the other, are to be borne by Lessee. Except to the extent otherwise expressly
stated, the foregoing provisions are intended to be a complete exclusion and
negation of any representations or warranties by Lessor, Administrative Agent or
any Lender, express or implied, with respect to the Property or the Facility (or
any interest therein), that may arise pursuant to any law now or hereafter in
effect or otherwise. Lessor shall have no responsibility or liability to
12
LEASE
Lessee or any other Person with respect to any of the following: (w) any
liability, loss or damage caused or alleged to be caused directly or indirectly
by either Property or by any inadequacy thereof, deficiency or defect therein or
by any other circumstances in connection therewith; (x) the use, operation or
performance of the Properties or any of the risks relating thereto; (y) any
interruption of service, business or anticipated profits or consequential
damages; or (z) the delivery, operation, servicing, maintenance, repair,
improvement or replacement of the Property. Lessee agrees that each Property is,
or upon its acquisition will be, in good order and condition, prepared to
conform to specifications applicable thereto and all government standards and
requirements reasonably interpreted as being applicable thereto and is in all
respects satisfactory to Lessee, and Lessee will not assert any claim of any
nature whatsoever against Lessor based on any of the foregoing matters.
ARTICLE VIII
LIENS; EASEMENTS
SECTION 8.1 LIENS. Subject to SECTION 9.4, Lessee shall not directly or
indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien, defect,
attachment, levy, title retention agreement or claim upon or with respect to
either Property, any Basic Rent or Supplemental Rent, title thereto, or any
interest therein, including all Liens which arise out of the possession, use,
occupancy or construction of a Facility on the Land or either Property or by
reason of labor or materials furnished or claimed to have been furnished to
Lessee, or any of its contractors or the Administrative Agent or by reason of
the financing of any Modifications constructed by or for the benefit of Lessee,
except in all cases Permitted Liens. With respect to all Liens in or with
respect to either Property, other than Permitted Liens, Lessee shall promptly,
but not later than thirty (30) days after the filing thereof, at its own
expense, take such action as may be necessary duly to discharge or eliminate or
bond in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Lessor any such Lien if the same
shall arise at any time.
SECTION 8.2 NO LESSOR CONSENT OR LIABILITY. Nothing contained in this Lease
shall be construed as constituting the consent or request of the Lessor,
expressed or implied, to or for the performance by any contractor, mechanic,
laborer, materialman, supplier or vendor of any labor or services or for the
furnishing of any materials for any construction, alteration, addition, repair
or demolition of or to the Property or any part thereof. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN
THAT NEITHER LESSOR NOR ANY LENDER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LABOR, SERVICES OR
MATERIALS FURNISHED OR TO BE FURNISHED TO LESSEE, OR TO ANYONE HOLDING THE
PROPERTY OR ANY PART THEREOF THROUGH OR UNDER LESSEE, AND THAT NO MECHANIC'S OR
OTHER LIENS FOR ANY SUCH LABOR, SERVICES OR MATERIALS SHALL ATTACH TO OR AFFECT
THE INTEREST OF LESSOR IN AND TO THE PROPERTY OR ANY PART THEREOF.
SECTION 8.3 EASEMENTS; AMENDMENTS TO UNDERLYING LEASE. Lessor shall, from
time to time during the Lease Term and upon at least thirty (30) days' prior
written notice from Lessee and receipt of the materials specified in the next
succeeding sentence, consent to and join in any, (i) grant of easements,
licenses, rights of way, party wall rights and other rights in the nature of
easements, with or without consideration, (ii) release, amendment or termination
of easements, licenses, rights of way, party wall rights or other rights in the

without consideration, (iii) dedication or transfer of portions of the Property
for road, highway or other public purposes, with or without consideration, (iv)
execution of petitions to have the Property or any portion thereof annexed to
any municipal corporation or utility district, (v) execution of agreements for
the use and maintenance of common areas, for reciprocal rights of parking,
ingress and egress and amendments to any covenants and restrictions affecting
the Property or any portion thereof, with or without consideration, (vi) request
to any Authority for platting or subdivision or replatting or resubdivision
approval with respect to the Property or any portion thereof or any parcel of
Property of which the Property or any portion thereof forms a part or a request
for any variance from zoning, (vii) creation of a governmental special benefit
district for public improvements and collection of special assessments in
connection therewith, in lump sum or installments, and (viii) execution and
delivery of any instrument appropriate to confirm or effect such grant, release,
dedication, transfer request or such other matter, document or proceeding.
Lessor's obligations pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be subject to the
requirements that:
(a) any such action shall be at the sole cost and expense of Lessee,
and Lessee shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs of Lessor and
Administrative Agent in connection therewith (including the reasonable fees
of attorneys, architects, engineers, planners, appraisers and other
professionals retained by Lessor in connection with any such action);
(b) Lessee shall have delivered to Lessor a certificate of a
Responsible Officer of Lessee stating that:
(1) such action will not cause the Property or any portion
thereof to fail to comply in any respect with the provisions of this
Lease or any other Operative Documents and, in any material respect
with all Applicable Law (including all applicable zoning, planning,
building and subdivision ordinances, all applicable restrictive
covenants and all applicable architectural approval requirements);
(2) all governmental consents or approvals required to be
obtained prior to such action have been obtained, and all filings
required prior to such action have been made;
(3) this Lease and Lessee's obligations hereunder shall continue
in full force and effect, without abatement, suspension, deferment,
diminution, reduction, counterclaim, setoff, defense or deduction;
(4) such action will not materially reduce the fair market
value, utility, remaining economic useful life or residual value of
either Property or of Lessor's interest therein;
(5) such action will not impose or create any liability or
obligation on Lessor in connection therewith which Lessee shall not
have paid or performed or undertaken to pay or perform;
14
LEASE
(6) such action will not result in any material down-zoning of
the Property or any portion thereof or a material reduction in the
maximum density or development rights available to the Property under
all Applicable Law;
(7) all consideration received in connection with such action
shall be paid to Lessee; and
(8) no Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing.
Without limiting the effectiveness of the foregoing, the Lessor shall, upon
the request of Lessee and at Lessee's sole cost and expense, execute and deliver
any instruments necessary or appropriate to confirm any such grant, release,
dedication, transfer, annexation or amendment to any Person permitted under this
SECTION 8.3.
ARTICLE IX
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR;
ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS
SECTION 9.1 MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR; COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Lessee, at its own
expense, shall at all times (a) maintain the portion of the Original Facility
used as office space consistent with Class A office buildings of similar age,
use, location and size, and the other portions of the Property shall be kept, in
each case in good and safe repair and condition, subject to ordinary wear and
tear; (b) except to the extent that SECTION 9.4 shall apply, maintain, manage
and monitor the Property in accordance with all Applicable Law, whether or not
such maintenance requires structural modifications; (c) comply with the
standards imposed by any insurance policies required to be maintained hereunder
which are in effect at any time with respect to the Property or any part
thereof; (d) maintain, manage and monitor the Property in accordance with all
applicable contracts, including service contracts and insurance contracts; and
(e) make all necessary or appropriate repairs and replacements to the Property
or any part thereof which may be required to keep the Property in the condition
required by the preceding clauses (a) through (d), whether interior or exterior,
structural or nonstructural, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen,
and including repairs, replacements and renewals that would constitute capital
expenditures under GAAP if incurred by an owner of property. Lessee waives any
right that it may now have or hereafter acquire to (x) require Lessor to
maintain, repair, replace, alter, remove or rebuild all or any part of the
improvements on either Property or (y) make repairs at the expense of Lessor
pursuant to any Applicable Law or other agreements.
SECTION 9.2 NO ALTERATION OR CONSTRUCTION. (a) At Lessee's own cost and
expense, (1) Lessee shall make alterations, renovations, improvements and
additions to the Property or any part thereof and substitutions and replacements
therefor (collectively, "MODIFICATIONS") so long as such Modifications are (A)
made to repair or maintain the Property in the condition required by SECTION
9.1; (B) necessary in order for the Property to be in compliance with Applicable
Law; or (C) necessary to restore the Property to its condition existing prior to
a Casualty or Condemnation; and (ii) so long as no Lease Event of Default or
Lease Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessee may undertake Modifications
on the Property so long as such
15
LEASE
Modifications comply with Applicable Law and with SECTION 9.1 and subsection (b)
of this SECTION 9.2.
(b) The making of any Modifications must be in compliance with the
following requirements:
(1) No such Modifications with a cost exceeding $500,000 (other
than nonstructural modifications) shall be made or undertaken except
upon not less than thirty days prior written notice to Lessor or such
lesser time as is reasonable under the circumstances in connection
with Modifications necessary to restore a Property after a Casualty or
Condemnation.
(2) Lessee shall not make any Modifications in violation of the
terms of any restriction, easement, condition or covenant or other
matter affecting title to the Property.
(3) No Modifications shall be undertaken until Lessee shall have
procured and paid for, so far as the same may be required from time to
time, all permits and authorizations relating to such Modifications of
all municipal and other Authorities having jurisdiction over the
Property. 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 necessary
or advisable.
(4) The Modifications shall be completed in a commercially
reasonable period in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance
with all Applicable Law then in effect and the standards imposed by
any insurance policies required to be maintained hereunder.
(5) All Modifications, whether structural or nonstructural,
(other than Modifications required by Applicable Law) shall, when
completed, be of such a character as to not (i) materially adversely
affect the fair market value, utility, remaining economic useful life
or residual value of the Property from its fair market value, utility,
remaining economic useful life or residual value immediately prior to
the making thereof or, in the case of Modifications being made by
virtue of a Casualty or Condemnation, immediately prior to the
occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation or (ii) result in any loss
or modification of any manufacturer's or contractor's warranty.
(6) Lessee shall have made adequate arrangements for payment of
the cost of all Modifications when due so that the Property shall at
all times be free of Liens for labor and materials supplied or claimed
to have been supplied to the Property, other than Permitted Liens;
provided, that Lessee shall have the right to contest the amount
claimed by any such supplier of labor or materials in accordance with
the applicable provisions of SECTION 9.5.
16
LEASE
(c) Title to Modifications shall without further act vest in Lessor
and shall be deemed to constitute a part of the related Property and be
subject to this Lease in the following cases:
(1) such Modifications shall be in replacement of or in
substitution for a portion of a Facility and/or a Property;
(2) such Modifications shall be required to be made pursuant to
the terms of SECTION 9.2(a)(i); or
(3) such Modifications shall be Nonseverable.
Lessee, at Lessor's request, 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.
If such Modifications are not within any of the categories set forth in
clauses (a) through (c) of this SECTION 9.2, then title to such Modifications
shall vest in Lessee and such Modifications shall not be deemed to be
Modifications which are part of the Property.
All Modifications to which Lessee shall have title may, so long as removal
thereof shall not result in the violation of any Applicable Law and no Lease
Event of Default or Lease Default is continuing, be removed at any time by
Lessee. Any such Modifications shall be removed by Lessee at its expense if
Lessor shall so request prior to the return of the Property to Lessor or sale of
the Property in accordance with this Lease, and Lessee shall at its expense
repair any damage to the Property caused by the removal of such Modifications.
Lessor (or the purchaser of the applicable Property) may purchase from Lessee
Modifications (if not already owned by Lessor) which Lessee notifies Lessor that
Lessee intends to remove from the Property prior to the return of the Property
to Lessor or sale of the Property, which purchase shall be at the Fair Market
Sales Value of such Modifications. Title to any Lessee Modifications shall vest
in Lessor (or the purchaser of the applicable Property) if not removed from the
Property by Lessee prior to the return of the Property to Lessor or sale of the
Property.
SECTION 9.3 FINANCING OF MODIFICATIONS.
(a) Lessee may from time to time, so long as no Event of Default or
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, request Lessor to arrange for
construction or permanent financing of any proposed Modifications to the
Property or any part thereof, PROVIDED that such Modifications shall not include
Modifications required under any provision of this Lease to replace a Facility
or any part thereof existing on the applicable Lease Commencement Date,
including those required under SECTION 13, and FURTHER PROVIDED, that Lessee
delivers an Officer's Certificate stating that (i) the estimated Costs and
expenses of such proposed Modifications are equal to or greater than
$10,000,000, (ii) such proposed Modifications benefit the Property and are of a
consistent or otherwise appropriate character and use as the Property, (iii) the
amount of the requested financing does not exceed the estimated costs and
expenses incurred or to be incurred in connection with such proposed
Modifications (which amount shall not include any leasehold improvement costs),
and (iv) such proposed Modifications, if completed in accordance
17
LEASE
with the Plans and Specifications therefor, will increase the Fair Market Sales
Value of the Property by an amount at least equal to the amount of the proposed
financing (such Fair Market Sales Value to be determined by an appraisal to be
provided by an appraiser selected by Lessor, which appraisal and appraiser shall
be reasonably satisfactory to Lessee). Such request shall set forth in
reasonable detail a brief narrative of such proposed Modifications and shall be
accompanied by Plans and Specifications therefor. As soon as reasonably
practical and in any event within thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessor of
such Officer's Certificate from Lessee, Lessor shall notify Lessee either (x)
that Lessor does not wish to arrange such construction and/or permanent
financing or (y) that Lessor does wish to arrange such construction and/or
permanent financing (and setting forth the terms of Lessor's proposal therefor).
In the latter event, Lessor and Lessee shall (subject to the provisions of the
Loan Agreement if at the time in effect) (A) offer to the Lenders the
opportunity to participate in such construction and/or permanent financing, and
in the event that the Lenders agree to participate in such financing, arrange
for the issuance of additional secured notes requested by Lessee, to be issued
pursuant to the Loan Agreement on terms satisfactory to Lessee, Lessor, and the
Lenders, (B) whether or not the Lenders agree to participate in such financing,
cooperate to arrange such financing on mutually satisfactory terms (which terms
shall include at least the items set forth in SECTION 9.3(c) and shall not
provide for the indebtedness in connection with such financing to be secured by
a Lien on the Property, except in the case of any such Indebtedness owed to the
Lenders unless Lessee and Lessor shall otherwise agree in writing) and (C)
negotiate appropriate amendments to this Lease and any of the other Operative
Documents as may be necessary or appropriate in connection therewith. Neither
Lessor nor Lessee shall incur any liability if financing cannot for any reason
whatsoever be arranged in accordance with this SECTION 9.3.
(b) If Lessor does not deliver a proposal for such construction and/or
permanent financing to Lessee within 30 days after receipt of Lessee's request
therefor, or having done so, if Lessor is unable to arrange such financing
within 60 days after Lessee's acceptance of Lessor's proposal, Lessee shall have
the option, exercisable at any time by irrevocable notice to Lessor (an
"EXERCISE NOTICE"), to:
(i) request the Lenders to arrange for or participate in such
financing, and in the event that the Lenders agree to do so, Lessor shall
issue additional secured notes requested by Lessee, to be issued pursuant
to the Loan Agreement on terms satisfactory to Lessor and the Lenders; or
(ii) (x) finance the construction of such Modification with
indebtedness not secured by a Lien on the Property or (y) pay for the
construction of such Modification without incurring indebtedness; or
(iii) provided that the Lenders have not agreed to finance such
Modification pursuant to CLAUSE (i), purchase the Property as provided in
SECTION 6.1;
it being understood that any financing arranged or made by Lessee and the
Lenders pursuant to clause (i) above shall, at the option of the Lessor, include
equity financing involving the sale of an equity portion in an amount not more
than 5% of the cost or Fair Market Sales Value of the Modification, whichever is
less.
18
LEASE
(c) CERTAIN CONDITIONS OF FINANCING. If any Modification to a Property is
financed pursuant to this SECTION 9.3:
(i) the maturity date of such financing shall in no event be later
than the last day of the Base Term, or any Renewal Term if Lessee shall
have given Lessor irrevocable notice of its intention to lease the Property
during such Renewal Term pursuant to SECTION 2.4; and
(ii) Basic Rent, the Purchase Option Price and the Guaranteed
Residual Amount with respect to the applicable Property shall be adjusted
in a manner mutually acceptable to Lessor, the Lenders and Lessee.
(d) LESSEE'S CERTIFICATE. Within 90 days after substantial completion of
any alteration financing pursuant to this SECTION 9.3, Lessee shall deliver to
Lessor an Officer's Certificate stating the actual cost of such Modification.
(e) PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. Lessee shall pay all costs and expenses
associated with any request for financing pursuant to the provisions of this
SECTION 9.3 and, within 30 days after request therefor by Lessor, shall
reimburse Lessor and the Lenders for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by Lessor or the Lenders in connection with any such financing pursuant
to the provisions of this SECTION 9.3.
SECTION 9.4 PERMITTED CONTESTS. Without limiting Lessee's obligations under
the second sentence of SECTION 8.1, Lessee shall not be obligated to discharge
any Lien under SECTION 8.1 or comply with Applicable Law so long as it is
engaged with respect thereto in a Permitted Contest. Lessee shall provide Lessor
with notice of any Permitted Contest in detail sufficient to enable Lessor to
ascertain whether such contest may have an effect of the type described in the
definition of "Permitted Lien."
Lessor will not be required to join in any proceedings pursuant to this
SECTION 9.4 unless a provision of any Applicable Law requires, or, in the good
faith opinion of Lessee, it is helpful to Lessee that such proceedings be
brought by or in the name of Lessor; and in that event Lessor will join in the
proceedings or permit them or any part thereof to be brought in its name if and
so long as no Lease Event of Default or Lease Default has occurred and is
continuing and Lessee pays all related expenses.
ARTICLE X
USE
Lessee will use and operate various designated portions of (i) the Original
Property for office space, fitness and recreation facilities, cafeteria,
multi-purpose auditorium, biomechanical laboratories, model shop and showrooms
and (ii) the Additional Property for any lawful use or for any purpose related
or ancillary to the several aforementioned functions of the Facilities
throughout the Lease Term, except for interruptions for Modifications or due to
Casualty, Condemnation or Force Majeure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee
shall not use the Property or any part thereof for any purpose or in any manner
that would materially adversely
19
LEASE
affect the fair market value, utility, remaining useful life or residual value
of the Property or that would create a materially increased risk of
environmental liability or that would violate or conflict with, or constitute or
result in a violation or default under (a) any Applicable Law whether now
existing or hereafter in effect, foreseen or unforeseen, except to the extent
permitted by SECTION 9.4, (b) any insurance policies required by ARTICLE 11, or
(c) any Operative Document. Lessee shall pay, or cause to be paid, all charges
and costs required in connection with the use of the Property as contemplated by
this Lease. Lessee shall not commit or permit any waste of the Property or any
part thereof.
ARTICLE XI
INSURANCE
SECTION 11.1 REQUIRED COVERAGES. Lessee will cause to be carried and
maintained with respect to the Original Property insurance consistent and on a
parity with Class A office buildings of similar size, age, use and location and,
with respect to the Additional Property, insurance consistent and on a parity
with industrial buildings of similar size, age, use and location. Lessee shall
also carry such other insurance as is usually carried by such corporations in
the same general area engaged in the same or a similar business, provided that
in any event Lessee will maintain:
(a) COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY INSURANCE. Combined single limit
insurance, with minimum limits of liability of not less than One Million
Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence, and Nine Million Dollars ($9,000,000)
excess of such coverage, against claims for bodily injury, death or
third-party property damage occurring on, in or about the Property
(contractual liability exclusions deleted), personal injury (contractual
liability exclusions deleted), contractual liability specifically insuring
(to the extent permitted by law) the indemnifying portions of this Lease,
owner's protective liability, and broad form property damage.
(b) PROPERTY INSURANCE. All risk property insurance against loss or
damage covering the Property or any portion thereof (as defined below) in
an amount that at no time, on a replacement cost basis, is less than the
replacement cost of the improvements to the Property.
Such insurance 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 and shall have an A.M. Best rating consistent with Lessee's
normal practice for similar types of insurance (or if there be none, an
organization having a similar national reputation) or be otherwise reasonably
acceptable to Lessor. In the case of liability insurance maintained by Lessee,
it shall name Administrative Agent, together with Lessor and Lenders as
additional insureds and, in the case of property insurance maintained by Lessee,
it shall name Administrative Agent as sole loss payee with respect to payments
in excess of $5,000,000 with respect to a Property/Facility, it being understood
that all payments of $5,000,000 or less, with respect to a Property/Facility,
may be made payable to the Lessee. Each policy referred to in this SECTION
11.1(b) shall provide that: (1)
20
LEASE
it will not be canceled, materially modified insofar as it relates to the
Property or its limits reduced, or allowed to lapse without renewal, except
after not less than 30 days' prior written notice to Lessor; (ii) the interests
of Lessor shall not be invalidated by any act or negligence of or breach of
warranty or representation by Lessee or any Person having an interest in the
Property; (iii) such insurance is primary with respect to any other insurance
carried by or available to Lessor; (iv) in connection with insurance maintained
under SECTION 11.1(b) only, the insurer shall waive any right of subrogation,
setoff, counterclaim, or other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise,
against Lessor; and (v) in connection with insurance maintained under SECTION
11.1(a) only, such policy shall contain a cross-liability clause providing for
coverage of Lessor as if separate policies had been issued to Lessor. Lessee
will notify Lessor promptly of any policy cancellation, reduction in policy
limits, material modification or amendment which adversely affects the required
coverages.
SECTION 11.2 DELIVERY OF INSURANCE CERTIFICATES. On or before the
applicable Lease Commencement Date, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor certificates
of insurance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor 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 Lease Term, at the time each of Lessee's insurance
policies is scheduled to expire (but in no event less frequently than once each
year), Lessee shall deliver to Lessor certificates of insurance evidencing that
all insurance required by SECTION 11.1 to be maintained by Lessee with respect
to each Property is in effect.
ARTICLE XII
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASING
(a) Subject to permitted mergers and consolidations under Section 5.2 of
the Participation Agreement and SECTION 12(b) below, Lessee may not, without the
prior written consent of Lessor, assign mortgage, pledge or sublease, in whole
or in part, any of its right, title or interest in, to or under this Lease or
any portion of the Property to any Person at any time, and any such assignment,
mortgage, pledge or sublease shall be void. Lessee may, however, assign its
right, title or interest in, to or under this Lease with respect to the Property
to a Wholly-owned Domestic Subsidiary that becomes a Lessee hereunder pursuant
to a Lease amendment and in accordance with Article VIII of the Participation
Agreement. Any such Wholly-owned Domestic Subsidiary that becomes a Lessee
hereunder shall remain in a Wholly-owned Domestic Subsidiary of the Lessee for
so long as it is a Lessee.
(b) Lessee may not sublease any of its right, title or interest in, to or
under this Lease or any portion of the Property to any Person at any time, and
any such sublease shall be void, unless Lessee shall obtain the prior written
consent of Administrative Agent and Participants, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (1) their withholding of such
consent shall not be deemed unreasonable if, for purposes of illustration and
not in limitation, (a) the proposed subtenant is engaged in a business or
conducts activities which might be hazardous to any Person or property, in each
case in Administrative Agent's sole judgment, or (b) the proposed subtenant has
requirements for which the Property is not suited or which are contrary to, or
might cause Lessor or the Property to be in violation of, any Applicable Laws;
PROVIDED FURTHER that, without such consent of the Administrative Agent or
Participants, Lessee
21
LEASE
(i) may enter into a sublease or subleases for all or any portion of the
Property with a Wholly-owned Domestic Subsidiary, and (ii) if no Lease Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, may enter into a Sublease or Subleases
for any portion of the Property with any Person, in each case provided that (A)
all obligations of Lessee under this Lease shall continue in full effect as
obligations of a principal and not of a guarantor or surety, as though no
sublease had been made; (B) such sublease (or any other sublease entered
pursuant to this ARTICLE XII) shall be expressly subject and subordinate to this
Lease, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Operative Documents, and
the term of any such sublease shall not extend beyond the scheduled term of this
Lease; (C) such sublease shall not affect the liability of Lessee as to the
Lease or any other Operative Documents; and (D) except for the Additional
Property Sublease, no more than 20% of the aggregate gross square footage of
either Property subject to this Lease shall be subject to Subleases with Persons
who are not Affiliates of Lessee; and (ii) upon acquisition of the Additional
Property, Lessor and seller of the Additional Property may enter into the
Additional Property Sublease. Any such permitted sublease is herein referred to
as a "SUBLEASE"). The sublessee under any Sublease described in this ARTICLE XII
shall hereinafter be referred to as a "Subtenant."
Regardless of Lessor's consent, no subletting shall release Lessee of
Lessee's obligation or alter the primary liability of Lessee to pay Rent
hereunder (including Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent) and to perform all other
obligations to be performed by Lessee hereunder. The acceptance of Rent by
Lessor from any other Person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Lessor of any
provision hereof. Lessor may proceed directly against Lessee without the
necessity of exhausting remedies against said successor.
ARTICLE XIII
LOSS, DESTRUCTION, CONDEMNATION OR DAMAGE
SECTION 13.1 EVENT OF LOSS; CONDEMNATION OR CASUALTY.
(a) If an Event of Loss shall occur, Lessee shall give Lessor and
Administrative Agent prompt written notice of such occurrence and the date
thereof and Lessee shall purchase the affected Property suffering such Event of
Loss from Lessor on the first to occur of (i) the first Rent Payment Date
occurring at least 30 days on or after the Event of Loss and (ii) the
Termination Date, at a purchase price equal to the sum of (A) the then
outstanding Lease Balance, or if only one Property has suffered the Event of
Loss, the then outstanding Property Balance of the affected Property, plus (B)
all accrued but unpaid Rent, plus (C) all other sums due and payable by Lessee
to Lessor with respect to such Property under this Lease or any of the other
Operative Documents.
(b) Upon payment in full of all amounts payable pursuant to SECTION
13.1(a), (i) the Lease Term shall end with respect to the affected Property and
(ii) the obligations of Lessee hereunder with respect to such Property (other
than any obligations expressed herein as surviving termination of this Lease)
shall terminate as of the date of such payment.
SECTION 13.2 APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS RELATING TO AN EVENT OF LOSS. All Loss
Proceeds received at any time for either Property then held by Lessor, Lessee or
Administrative
22
LEASE
Agent from any Authority or other Person with respect to any Event of Loss shall
be promptly remitted to Lessor and, in the event Lessee purchases the affected
Property pursuant to SECTION 13.1(a), shall be applied against the purchase
price payable by Lessee pursuant to SECTION 13.1(a), and any such Loss Proceeds
remaining thereafter shall be paid over to, or retained by, Lessee, or as Lessee
may direct.
SECTION 13.3 APPLICATION OF CERTAIN PAYMENTS RELATING TO A CONDEMNATION. In
case of a requisition for temporary use of all or a portion of either Property
which is not an Event of Taking, this Lease shall remain in full force and
effect, without any abatement or reduction of Rent, and the Net Condemnation
Proceeds for such Property shall, subject to SECTION 13.3, be paid to Lessee,
except that any portion of such Net Condemnation Proceeds that was awarded with
respect to the time period after the expiration or termination of the Lease Term
(unless Lessee shall have exercised or be deemed to have exercised an option to
purchase such Property) shall be paid to Lessor.
SECTION 13.4 CASUALTY. As soon as practicable after a Casualty, Lessee
shall repair and rebuild the affected portions of the Property suffering such
Casualty (or cause such affected portions to be repaired and rebuilt) to the
condition required to be maintained by SECTION 9.1; PROVIDED, that the value and
functional capability of such item as restored is at least equivalent to the
value and functional capability of such item as in effect immediately prior to
the occurrence of such Casualty. Any Loss Proceeds in excess of $5,000,000 for
the affected Property received with respect to any Casualty shall be paid over
to or retained by Lessor until Lessee repairs and rebuilds (or causes to be
repaired and rebuilt) the affected portions of the applicable Property in
accordance with the conditions set forth in this SECTION 13.4; such amounts
shall be paid out by Lessor as repair and rebuilding progresses, subject to
delivery to Lessor of receipted invoices, bills of sale and lien releases; any
proceeds less than such amounts shall be paid to or retained by the Lessee to
repair and rebuild the Property.
SECTION 13.5 OTHER DISPOSITIONS. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions
of this ARTICLE XIII, as long as a Lease Default or a Lease Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, any amount that would otherwise be
payable to or for the account of, or that would otherwise be retained by, Lessee
pursuant to this ARTICLE XIII shall be paid to Lessor as security for the
obligations of Lessee under this Lease, shall be invested by Lessor in
accordance with SECTION 20.17 in Permitted Investments and, if a Lease Default
or a Lease Event of Default is continuing, may be applied to the obligations of
Lessee hereunder, and, at such time thereafter as no Lease Default or Lease
Event of Default shall be continuing, such amount and gain thereon shall be paid
promptly to Lessee to the extent not previously applied in accordance with the
terms of this Lease.
SECTION 13.6 NEGOTIATIONS. In the event any part of a Property becomes
subject to condemnation or requisition proceedings, Lessee shall give notice
thereof to Lessor promptly after Lessee has knowledge thereof and, to the extent
permitted by any Applicable Law, Lessee shall control the negotiations with the
relevant Authority unless a Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall be
continuing, in which case Lessor shall control such negotiations; PROVIDED that
in any event Lessor may participate at Lessor's expense (or if a Lease Default
or Lease Event of Default shall be continuing, at Lessee's expense) in such
negotiations; and PROVIDED in all cases, that no settlement will be made without
Lessor's prior written consent, not to be
23
LEASE
unreasonably withheld. 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 XI, and
are in the possession of Lessee, as are reasonably requested by Lessor or
Administrative Agent. If the proceedings relate to an Event of Taking, Lessee
shall act diligently in connection therewith.
SECTION 13.7 NO RENT ABATEMENT. Rent shall not ▇▇▇▇▇ hereunder by reason of
any Event of Loss, any Casualty, or any Condemnation of either Property, and
Lessee shall continue to perform and fulfill all of Lessee's obligations,
covenants and agreements hereunder notwithstanding such Event of Loss, Casualty,
or Condemnation until the Termination Date.
ARTICLE XIV
NON-INTERFERENCE
SECTION 14.1 NON-INTERFERENCE. Lessor covenants that it will not take or
cause to be taken any affirmative act that interferes in Lessee's use of the
Property in accordance with this Lease during the Lease Term, so long as no
Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; it being agreed that
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. Such
right is independent of, and shall not affect, Lessor's rights otherwise to
initiate legal action to enforce the obligations of Lessee under this Lease.
SECTION 14.2 CERTAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF LESSOR. Except during
the continuance of a Lease Event of Default, Lessor undertakes to perform such
duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth herein and in the
other Operative Documents, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read
into this Lease against Lessor, and Lessor agrees that it shall not, nor shall
it have a duty to, manage, control, use, sell, maintain, insure, register,
lease, operate, modify, dispose of or otherwise deal with the Property in any
manner whatsoever, except as required by the terms of the Operative Documents
and as otherwise provided herein.
ARTICLE XV
INSPECTION AND REPORTS
SECTION 15.1 INSPECTION. Upon five (5) Business Days' prior notice to
Lessee, by Lessor or Administrative Agent, Lessor and/or Administrative Agent
and their respective authorized representatives (the "INSPECTING PARTIES") may
inspect (a) the Property and (b) the books and records of Lessee relating
directly and primarily to the Property and make copies and abstracts therefrom,
but only after material related to matters other than the Property shall have
been redacted therefrom. All such inspections shall be at the expense and risk
of the Inspecting Parties, except that if a Lease Event of Default or Lease
Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessee shall reimburse the Inspecting
Parties for the reasonable costs of such inspections and such inspection shall
be at Lessee's risk. Lessee shall furnish to the Inspecting Parties statements
accurate in all material respects regarding the condition and state of repair of
the Property, all at such times and as often as may be reasonably requested. No
inspection shall unreasonably interfere with Lessee's use of the Property. None
of the Inspecting Parties shall have any duty to
24
LEASE
make any such inspection or inquiry, and none of the Inspecting Parties shall
incur any liability or obligation by reason of not making 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, so
long as no Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of
inspection, such Inspecting Party causes damage to the Property or any interest
therein of Lessee or any other Person during the course of such inspection.
SECTION 15.2 REPORTS. To the extent permissible under Applicable Law,
Lessee shall prepare and file in timely fashion, or, where Lessor shall be
required to file, Lessee shall prepare and make available to Lessor within a
reasonable time prior to the date for filing and Lessor shall file, any reports
with respect to the condition or operation of the Property that shall be
required to be filed with any Authority.
ARTICLE XVI
OWNERSHIP, GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST
AND FURTHER ASSURANCES
SECTION 16.1 GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. Title to the Property shall remain
in Lessor, as security for the obligations of Lessee hereunder and under each of
the other Operative Documents to which it is a party until such time as Lessee
shall have fulfilled all of its obligations hereunder and under such other
Operative Documents. Lessee hereby assigns, grants and pledges, and reaffirms
its prior assignment, grant and pledge under the Original Lease, to Lessor for
the benefit of Administrative Agent a security interest in and Lien against all
of Lessee's right, title and interest, whether now or hereafter existing or
acquired, in the Property, any deposit account in the name of Lessee maintained
with the Administrative Agent or its designee and proceeds therefrom, to secure
the payment and performance of all obligations of Lessee now or hereafter
existing under this Lease or any other Operative Document. Lessee shall, at its
expense, do any further act and execute, acknowledge, deliver, file, register
and record any further documents which Lessor or Administrative Agent may
reasonably request in order to protect its title to and perfected Lien on the
Property, subject to no Liens other than Permitted Liens, and Lessor's rights
and benefits under this Lease. Lessee shall promptly and duly execute and
deliver to Lessor such documents and assurances and take such further actions as
Lessor may from time to time reasonably request in order to carry out more
effectively the intent and purpose of this Lease and the other Operative
Documents, to establish and protect the rights and remedies created or intended
to be created in favor of Lessor hereunder and thereunder, and to establish,
perfect and maintain the right, title and interest of Lessor in and to the
Property, subject to no Lien other than Permitted Liens, or of such financing
statements or fixture filings or other documents with respect hereto as Lessor
or Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request, and Lessee
agrees to execute and deliver promptly such of the foregoing financing
statements and fixture filings or other documents as may require execution by
Lessee. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Lessee hereby authorizes any
such financing statement and fixture filings to be filed without the necessity
of the signature of Lessee.
SECTION 16.2 RELEASE OF LIENS; TRANSFER OF PROPERTY. Upon Lessee's request,
Lessor shall at such time as all of the obligations of Lessee under this Lease
or any other Operative
25
LEASE
Documents have been indefeasibly paid or performed in full (other than Lessee's
contingent obligations, if any, under Article VII of the Participation
Agreement) execute and deliver termination statements and other appropriate
documentation reasonably requested by Lessee, all at Lessee's expense, to
evidence Lessor's release of its Lien against the Property. Whenever pursuant to
any provision of this Lease Lessor is required to transfer the Property to
Lessee or to an independent third party, such transfer shall be made at Lessee's
expense by the quitclaim transfer of all of Lessor's right, title and interest
in and to such Property on an "as is, where is, with all faults" basis free and
clear of all Lessor Liens and otherwise without recourse, representation or
warranty of any kind, and together with the due assumption by Lessee (or such
third party) of, and due release of Lessor from, all obligations relating to
such Property or the Operative Documents. At the request of Lessor, Lessee will
transfer all of its right, title and interest in the Property to the buyer. Any
provision in this Lease or other Operative Document to the contrary
notwithstanding, Lessor shall not be obligated to make any such transfer until
Lessor has received all Rent and other amounts due and owing hereunder.
SECTION 16.3 ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. Lessee hereby irrevocably appoints
Administrative Agent as Lessee's attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the
place and stead of Lessee and in the name of Lessee or otherwise, from time to
time in Lessor's discretion, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a
Lease Event of Default, to take any action (including any action that Lessee is
entitled to take) and to execute any instrument which Lessor may deem necessary
or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Lease (subject to any
limitations set forth in the Operative Documents), including, without
limitation:
(a) to ask, demand, collect, ▇▇▇ for, recover, compromise, receive
and give acquittance and receipts for money due and to become due under or
in connection with the Property or any Sublease;
(b) to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments,
documents and chattel paper in connection with the foregoing clause (a);
(c) to file any claim or take any action or institute any proceedings
which Lessor may deem to be necessary or advisable for the collection
thereof or to enforce compliance with the terms and conditions of the Lease
or any Sublease; and
(d) to perform any affirmative obligations of Lessee hereunder.
Lessee hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees that the power of attorney
granted pursuant to this SECTION 16.3 is irrevocable and coupled with an
interest.

diligence after the earlier of (i) the date upon which a Responsible
Officer of Lessee has actual knowledge thereof and (ii) the date upon which
written notice thereof is delivered to Lessee from any Participant or
Administrative Agent; except that if the failure is capable of being

of Continuing Directors; "Continuing Directors" shall mean the directors of
the Lessee on the date hereof and each other director, if such other
director's nomination for election to the Board of Directors of the Lessee
is recommended by a majority of the then Continuing Directors; or
(k) Lessee shall default in the observance or performance of any
agreement contained in Sections 5.6, 5.18 or 5.19 of the Participation
Agreement.
ARTICLE XVIII
ENFORCEMENT
SECTION 18.1 REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of any Lease Event of Default
and at any time thereafter so long as the same shall be continuing, Lessor may,
at its option, by notice to Lessee pursuant to ARTICLE XVI, declare this Lease
to be in default (except that no notice shall be required and this Lease shall
be deemed in default upon the occurrence of a Lease Event of Default under
ARTICLE XVII (e) OR (g)), and at any time thereafter Lessor may, so long as such
Lease Event of Default is continuing, do one or more of the following as Lessor
in its sole discretion from time to time shall determine, to the extent
permitted by Applicable Law:
(a) Lessor may terminate this Lease and Lessee's right to possession
of the Property as of the date specified in such notice; however, (i) no
judicial proceedings, reletting, reentry or taking of possession of the
Property by Lessor will be construed as an election on Lessor's part to
terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention
29
LEASE
is given to Lessee, (ii) notwithstanding any judicial proceedings,
reletting, reentry or taking of possession, Lessor may at any time
thereafter elect to terminate this Agreement for a continuing Lease Event
of Default, and (iii) no act or thing done by Lessor or the Administrative
Agent, representatives or employees and no agreement accepting a surrender
of the Property shall be valid unless the same shall, be made in writing
and executed by Lessor;
(b) Lessor may (i) demand that Lessee, and Lessee shall upon the
written demand of Lessor, return the Property promptly to Lessor in the
manner and condition required by, and otherwise in accordance with all of
the provisions of, SECTION 9.1 as if the Property were being returned at
the end of the Lease Term, and Lessor shall not be liable for the
reimbursement of Lessee for any costs and expenses incurred by Lessee in
connection therewith, or (ii) without prejudice to any other remedy which
Lessor may have for possession of the Property, enter upon the Property and
take immediate possession of (to the exclusion of Lessee) the Property or
any part thereof and expel or remove Lessee and any other Person who may be
occupying the Property, with or without judicial process, all without
liability to Lessor for or by reason of such entry or taking of possession,
whether for the restoration of damage to property caused by such taking or
otherwise and, in addition to Lessor's other damages, Lessee shall be
responsible for the reasonably necessary costs and expenses of reletting,
including broker's fees attributable to the balance of the Lease Term and
for future reletting and the costs of any alterations or repairs made by
Lessor. The provisions of this SECTION 18.1(b) shall be deemed to satisfy
all requirements or provisions of Applicable Law, if any, which may require
Lessor to provide a notice to Lessee of Lessor's intention to re-enter the
Property and any such requirements or provisions are hereby waived by
Lessee;
(c) Lessor may sell all or any part of the Property at public or
private sale, as Lessor may determine, free and clear of any rights of
Lessee and without any duty to account to Lessee with respect to such
action or inaction (except to the extent required by CLAUSE (f) below if
Lessor shall elect to exercise its rights thereunder) in which event
Lessee's obligation to pay Basic Rent hereunder for periods commencing
after the date of such sale shall be terminated or proportionately reduced,
as the case may be (except to the extent that Basic Rent is to be included
in computations under CLAUSES (e) or (f) below if Lessor shall elect to
exercise its rights thereunder);
(d) Lessor may, at its option, without terminating this Agreement,
terminate Lessee's right to possession only, and continue to collect all
Basic Rent, Supplemental Rent, and all other amounts due Lessor (together
with all costs of collection) and enforce Lessee's obligations under this
Agreement as and when the same becomes due, or are to be performed, and at
the option of Lessor, Lessor may, in its sole and absolute discretion, make
such reasonable alterations and necessary repairs in order to relet the
Property, and relet the Property or any part thereof for such term or terms
(which may be for a term extending beyond the Lease Term) 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 after deducting
costs of alterations, brokerage and attorneys' fees shall be applied to
Lessee's
30
LEASE
obligations (including the Lease Balance) in accordance with Article V of
the Participation Agreement. If such rent received from such reletting
during any Lease Term shall be less than the Rent to be paid during that
Lease Term by Lessee hereunder, Lessee shall pay any deficiency, as
calculated by Lessor, to Lessor on the next Rent Payment Date in such Lease
Term;
(e) Lessor may enforce the Lien given hereunder pursuant to SECTION
16.1, the Uniform Commercial Code or any other law;
(f) If Lessee has breached this Lease and abandoned the Property,
this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Lessor does not
terminate Lessee's right to possession, and Lessor may enforce all of
Lessor's rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to
recover the Rent hereunder (including Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent) as
it becomes due under this Lease. Lessee's right to possession shall not be
deemed to have been terminated by Lessor except pursuant to CLAUSE (i)
above. The following do not constitute a termination of Lessee's right to
possession:
(A) Acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to relet the
Property;
(B) The appointment of a receiver upon the initiative of Lessor
to protect Lessor's interest under this Lease;
(C) Reasonable withholding of consent to an assignment or
subletting, or terminating a subletting or assignment by Lessee;
(g) In the event that Lessor elects to continue this Lease in full
force and effect, Lessor may enforce all its rights and remedies under this
Lease, including, but not limited to, the right to recover Rent hereunder
(including Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent) as it becomes due. During the
continuance of a Lease Event of Default, Lessor may enter the Property in
accordance with applicable law without terminating this Lease and sublet
all or any part of the Property for Lessee's account to any Person, for
such term (which may be a period beyond the remaining Lease Term), at such
rents and on such other terms and conditions as are commercially
reasonable. In the event of any such subletting, rents received by Lessor
from such subletting shall be applied (i) first, to the payment of the
reasonable costs incurred by Lessor in maintaining, preserving, altering
and preparing the Property for subletting and other costs of subletting,
including, but not limited to, brokers' commissions and attorneys' fees;
(ii) second, to the payment of Rent hereunder (including Basic Rent and
Supplemental Rent) then due and payable; (iii) third, to the payment of
future Rent hereunder (including Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent) as the
same may become due and payable hereunder; (iv) fourth, to the payment of
all other obligations of Lessee hereunder and under the other Operative
Documents; and (v) fifth, the balance, if any, shall be paid to Lessee upon
(but not before) expiration of the Lease Term. If the rents received by
Lessor from such subletting, after application as provided above, are
insufficient in any period to pay the Rent (including Basic Rent and
Supplemental Rent) due and payable hereunder for such period, Lessee shall
pay such deficiency to Lessor upon demand. Notwithstanding any such
subletting for Lessee's
31
LEASE
account without termination, Lessor may at any time thereafter, by written
notice to Lessee, elect to terminate this Lease by virtue of a previous
Lease Event of Default;
(h) Lessor may, whether or not Lessor shall have exercised or shall
thereafter at any time exercise any of its rights under CLAUSES (b), (c) or
(d) of this SECTION 18.1 with respect to the Property, demand, by written
notice to Lessee specifying a Rent Payment Date (the "FINAL RENT PAYMENT
DATE") not earlier than 10 days after the date of such notice, that Lessee
pay to Lessor, and Lessee shall pay to Lessor, on the Final Rent Payment
Date (in lieu of Basic Rent due after the Final Rent Payment Date) an
amount equal to the sum of (A) all accrued and unpaid Rent due and unpaid
to and including the Final Rent Payment Date PLUS (B) the Lease Balance
computed as of the Final Rent Payment Date, and upon payment of such
amount, and the amount of any unpaid Rent referred to above plus all other
sums due and payable by Lessee to Lessor (and interest at the Overdue Rate
on the amount payable under this CLAUSE (h) from the Final Rent Payment
Date to the date of actual payment), Lessor shall transfer by quitclaim to
Lessee all of Lessor's right, title and interest in and to the Property
without recourse or warranty, but free and clear of Lessor's Liens;
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Lease is being terminated on the
basis of a Lease Event of Default in a situation that, in the reasonable
opinion of Lessee and concurred with by Lessor and the Lenders (and in a
dispute, Lessee and Lessor shall submit this issue to one of the nationally
recognized accounting firms for resolution, and shall be bound by such
resolution) would fail to satisfy any of the four conditions set forth in
the response to Question No. 2, "Non-Performance-Related Default
Covenants," contained in EITF ▇▇-▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall (i) only be required to
pay the Guaranteed Residual Amount for the Properties then subject to the
Lease, and (ii) at the time it makes such payment, transfer all of Lessee's
right, title and interest in such Properties to Lessor.
(i) If Lessor shall have sold the Property pursuant to CLAUSE (c)
above, Lessor, in lieu of exercising its rights under CLAUSE (h) above,
may, if it shall so elect, demand that Lessee pay to Lessor, and Lessee
shall pay to Lessor, on the date of such sale (in lieu of Basic Rent due
for periods commencing on or after the Rent Payment Date coinciding with
such date of sale (or, if the sale date is not a Rent Payment Date, the
Rent Payment Date next preceding the date of such sale)), an amount equal
to the sum of (A) all Rent due and unpaid to and including such Rent
Payment Date, plus (B) the amount of any excess of the Lease Balance,
computed as of such date, over the net proceeds of such sale (i.e., after
deduction from gross proceeds of all costs related to the sale incurred by
Lessor, and Lessee, all transfer and other taxes imposed in connection with
the sale and all other costs, charges, title insurance premiums and fees
paid to third Persons in connection with such sale), together with interest
at the Overdue Rate on such excess from such Rent Payment Date to the date
of sale, plus (C) interest at the Overdue Rate on all of the foregoing
amounts from the date of such sale until the date of payment;
(j) Lessor may exercise any other right or remedy that may be
available to it under Applicable Law or in equity, or proceed by
appropriate court action (legal or equitable) to enforce the terms or to
recover damages for the breach hereof. Separate suits
32
LEASE
may be brought to collect any such damages for any portion of the Lease
Term, and such suits shall not in any manner prejudice Lessor's right to
collect any such damages for any subsequent portion of the Lease Term, or
Lessor may defer any such suit until after the expiration of the Lease Term
or any Renewal Term, in which event such suit shall be deemed not to have
accrued until the expiration of Lease Term, or such Renewal Term; or
(k) Lessor may retain and apply against Lessor's damages all sums
which Lessor would, absent such Lease Event of Default, be required to pay
to, or turn over to, Lessee pursuant to the terms of this Lease.
SECTION 18.2 PROCEEDS OF SALE. All payments received and amounts held or
realized by Lessor at any time when a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing and after the Lease Balance shall have been accelerated
pursuant to ARTICLE XVIII as well as all payments or amounts then held or
thereafter received by Lessor, except for rents received by Lessor from
subletting pursuant to SECTION 18.1(d), shall be distributed forthwith upon
receipt by Lessor in accordance with Section 2.6 of the Participation Agreement.
SECTION 18.3 GRANT AND FORECLOSURE ON LESSEE'S ESTATE. Notwithstanding any
other remedies set forth in this Lease, the following shall apply:
(a) Title to the Property shall remain in Lessor, as security for the
obligations of Lessee under the Lease and under each of the other Operative
Documents to which it is a party until such time as Lessee shall have
fulfilled all of its obligations under the Lease and under such other
Operative Documents. Lessee hereby assigns, grants, mortgages, warrants and
pledges, and reaffirms its prior assignment, grant, mortgage, warrant and
pledge under the Original Lease, with mortgage covenants to the Lessor a
mortgage lien and security interest in and against all of Lessee's right,
title and interest, if any, whether now or hereafter existing or acquired,
in the Property and the other Collateral to secure the payment and
performance of all obligations of Lessee now or hereafter existing under
this Lease or any other Operative Document. This grant of mortgage is on
the STATUTORY CONDITION. Lessee shall, at its expense, do any further act
and execute, acknowledge, deliver, file, register and record any further
documents which any Participant may reasonably request in order to protect
its title to and perfected Lien in the Property and the other Collateral,
subject to no Liens other than Permitted Liens, and Lessor's rights and
benefits under the Lease. Lessee shall promptly and duly execute and
deliver to Lessor such documents and assurances and take such further
actions as any Participant may from time to time reasonably request in
order to carry out more effectively the intent and purpose of this Lease,
the mortgage granted hereunder and the other Operative Documents, to
establish and protect the rights and remedies created or intended to be
created in favor of Lessor hereunder and thereunder, and to establish,
perfect and maintain the right, title and interest of Lessor in and to the
Property and the other Collateral, subject to no Lien other than Permitted
Liens, or of such mortgages, financing statements or fixture filings or
other documents with respect hereto as any Participant may from time to
time reasonably request, and Lessee agrees to execute and deliver promptly
such of the foregoing mortgages, financing statements and fixture filings
or other documents as may require execution by Lessee. To the extent
permitted
33
LEASE
by Applicable Law, Lessee hereby authorizes any such mortgages, financing
statement and fixture filings to be filed without the necessity of the
signature of Lessee. Upon Lessee's request, Lessor shall at such time as
all of the obligations of Lessee under the Lease or any other Operative
Documents have been indefeasibly paid or performed in full (other than
Lessee's contingent obligations, if any, under Article VII of the
Participation Agreement) execute and deliver termination statements and
other appropriate documentation reasonably requested by Lessee, all at
Lessee's expense, to evidence Lessor's release of its Lien against the
Collateral.
(b) Lessee hereby irrevocably appoints Lessor as Lessee's
attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of Lessee and
in the name of Lessee or otherwise, from time to time in Lessor's
discretion, to execute any instrument which Lessor may deem necessary or
advisable to accomplish the purposes of the Lease (subject to any
limitations set forth in the Operative Documents), and upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of a Lease Event of Default, to take any action
(including any action that Lessee is entitled to take), including, without
limitation:
(i) to ask, demand, collect, ▇▇▇ for, recover, compromise,
receive and give acquittance and receipts for money due and to become
due under or in connection with the Property and the other Collateral
or any sublease;
(ii) to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other
instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with the
foregoing CLAUSE (a);
(iii) to file any claim or take any action or institute any
proceedings which Lessor may deem to be necessary or advisable for the
collection thereof or to enforce compliance with the terms and
conditions of the Lease; and
(iv) to perform any affirmative obligations of Lessee under
the Lease, including the execution of mortgages, financing statements
and other documents and to enforce any sublease.
Lessee hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees that the power of attorney
granted pursuant to this SECTION 18.3 is irrevocable and coupled with an
interest.
(c) Lessor and the Lessee agree that upon the occurrence of a Lease
Event of Default, the Lessor may exercise the STATUTORY POWER OF SALE, and
may proceed by a suit or suits in equity or at law, whether for a
foreclosure hereunder, or for the sale of the Property and the other
Collateral, or against the Lessee on a recourse basis for the Lease Balance
and all other amounts due from Lessee under the Lease, or for the specific
performance of any covenant or agreement herein contained 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 Property and the other
Collateral, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or
equitable remedy, and at any foreclosure sale Lessor may become the
purchaser, and in such case for the purpose of making settlement for or
payment of the purchase price, shall be entitled to offset any claims for
the amounts due hereunder and under the Operative Documents in order that
they may be
34
LEASE
credited as paid on the purchase price. Lessee hereby grants to Lessor a
STATUTORY POWER OF SALE, and hereby assents to the passage of a decree for
the sale of the Property upon the occurrence of a Lease Event of Default.
Any sale made pursuant to the Statutory Power of Sale shall be made in
accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 183, Section 21.
(d) Upon the occurrence of a Lease Event of Default, Lessor, as a
matter of right and without notice to Lessee or anyone claiming under
Lessee, and without regard to the then value of the Property or the
Collateral or the interest of Lessee therein, shall have the right to apply
to any court having jurisdiction to appoint a receiver or receivers of the
Property and Collateral, and Lessee hereby irrevocably consents to such
appointment and waives notice of any application therefor. Any such
receiver or receivers shall have all the usual powers and duties of
receivers in like or similar cases and all the powers and duties of Lessor
in case of entry as provided in the Lease and shall continue as such and
exercise all such powers until the latest to occur of (i) the date of
confirmation of sale of the Property and Collateral; (ii) the disbursement
of all proceeds of the Property and Collateral collected by such receiver
and the payment of all expenses incurred in connection therewith; or (iii)
the termination of such receivership with the consent of Lessor or pursuant
to an order by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(e) This instrument will be deemed given to secure not only existing
amounts due hereunder and under the Operative Documents, but also future
advances, whether such advances are obligatory or to be made at the option
of the Participants or otherwise, to the same extent as if such future
advances were made on the date of execution of this instrument. To the
fullest extent permitted by law, the Lien of this instrument shall be valid
as to all such indebtedness, including all future advances, from the time
this instrument is recorded. Notwithstanding anything in this instrument to
the contrary, the maximum principal amount of Indebtedness secured by this
instrument at any one time shall not exceed One Hundred Sixty Six Million
and No/100 Dollars ($166,000,000) in principal amount, plus all accrued but
unpaid Rent, plus all cost of enforcement and collection of this
instrument, the Notes and the other Operative Documents, plus the total
amount of any advances made pursuant thereto to protect the collateral and
the security interest and Lien created hereby, together with interest and
yield on all of the foregoing as provided in the Operative Documents.
(f) Without in any way limiting or restricting any of Lessor's
rights, remedies, powers and authorities under this instrument, and in
addition to all of such rights, remedies, powers, and authorities, the
Lessor shall also have and may exercise any and all rights, remedies,
powers and authorities which the holder of a mortgage is permitted to have
or exercise under the Statutory Power of Sale.
(g) The Lessee, on behalf of itself and all Persons now or hereafter
interested in the Property and the other Collateral, voluntarily and
knowingly hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law,
any and all rights to reinstatement or redemption and any and all other
rights under all present and future appraisement, homestead, moratorium,
valuation, exemption, stay, extension, and redemption statutes, laws or
equities now or hereafter existing, and hereby further waives the pleading
of any
35
LEASE
statute of limitations as a defense to any and all indebtedness secured by
this instrument, and the Lessee agrees that no defense, claim or right
based on any thereof will be asserted, or may be enforced, in any action
enforcing or relating to this instrument. Without limiting the generality
of the preceding sentence, the Lessee, on its own behalf and on behalf of
each and every Person acquiring any interest in or title to the Property
subsequent to the date of this instrument, hereby irrevocably waives any
and all rights of reinstatement or redemption from sale under any order,
judgment or decree of foreclosure of this instrument or under any power
contained herein or under any sale pursuant to any statute, order, judgment
or decree of foreclosure of any court.
SECTION 18.4 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE; NO WAIVER; CONSENTS. To the extent
permitted by, and subject to the mandatory requirements of, Applicable Law, each
and every right, power and remedy herein specifically given to Lessor or
otherwise in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every
other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter
existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and
remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised
from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by
Lessor, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or
remedy' shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the
same time or thereafter any right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by
Lessor in the exercise of any right, power or remedy or in the pursuit of any
remedy shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a
waiver of any default on the part of Lessee or be an acquiescence therein.
Lessor's consent to any request made by Lessee shall not be deemed to constitute
or preclude the necessity for obtaining Lessor's consent, in the future, to all
similar requests. No express or implied waiver by Lessor of any Lease Event of
Default shall in any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any future or
subsequent Lease Default or Lease Event of Default. To the extent permitted by
Applicable Law, Lessee hereby waives any rights now or hereafter conferred by
statute or otherwise that may require Lessor to sell, lease or otherwise use the
Property or any part thereof in mitigation of Lessor's damages upon the
occurrence of a Lease Event of Default or that may otherwise limit or modify any
of Lessor's rights or remedies under this ARTICLE XVIII.
ARTICLE XIX
RIGHT TO PERFORM FOR LESSEE
If Lessee shall fail to perform or comply with any of its agreements
contained herein, Lessor may, but shall not be obligated to, on five (5)
Business Days' prior notice to Lessee (except in the event of an emergency, in
which case only one Business Day' s prior notice shall be required), perform or
comply with such agreement, and Lessor shall not thereby be deemed to have
waived any default caused by such failure, and the amount of such payment and
the amount of the expenses of Lessor (including reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses) incurred in connection with such payment or the performance of or
compliance with such agreement, as the case may be, together with interest
thereon at the Overdue Rate, shall be deemed Supplemental Rent, payable by
Lessee to Lessor upon demand; provided that in the case of an emergency Lessee
shall permit Lessor so to perform or comply on less than one Business Day's
notice unless Lessee has a good faith reason not to permit Lessor to do so.

SECTION 20.1 BINDING EFFECT; SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS; SURVIVAL. The terms
and provisions of this Lease, and the respective rights and obligations
hereunder of Lessor and Lessee shall be binding upon them and their respective
successors, legal representatives and assigns (including, in the case of Lessor,
any Person to whom Lessor may transfer the Property or any interest therein in
accordance with the provisions of this Lease or any of the other Operative
Documents), and inure to their benefit and the benefit of their respective
permitted successors, legal representatives and assigns.
SECTION 20.2 SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Lease that shall be
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction, and Lessee shall remain
liable to perform its obligations hereunder except to the extent of such
unenforceability. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Lessee hereby
waives any provision of law that renders any provision hereof prohibited or
unenforceable in any respect.
SECTION 20.3 NOTICES. Unless otherwise specified herein, all notices,
requests, demands or other communications to or upon the respective parties
hereto shall be in writing and shall be delivered and shall be deemed to have
been given in accordance with Section 9.3 of the Participation Agreement.
SECTION 20.4 AMENDMENT; COMPLETE AGREEMENTS. Neither this Lease nor any of
the terms hereof may be terminated, amended, supplemented, waived or modified
orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which
the enforcement of the termination, amendment, supplement, waiver or
modification shall be sought. This Lease, together with the other Operative
Documents, is intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement
and as a complete and exclusive statement of the terms thereof, all
negotiations, considerations and representations between the parties having been
incorporated herein and therein. No course of prior dealings between the parties
or their officers, employees, Administrative Agent or Affiliates shall be
relevant or admissible to supplement, explain, or vary any of the terms of this
Lease, the Fee Letter or any other Operative Document. Acceptance of, or
acquiescence in, a course of performance rendered under this or any prior
agreement between the parties or their Affiliates shall not be relevant or
admissible to determine the meaning of any of the terms of this Lease, the Fee
Letter or any other Operative Document. No representations, undertakings, or
agreements have been made or relied upon in the making of this Lease other than
those specifically set forth in the Operative Documents.
SECTION 20.5 HEADINGS. The Table of Contents and headings of the various

LEASE
SECTION 20.6 ORIGINAL LEASE. The single executed original of this Lease
containing the receipt of Lessor therefor on or following the signature page
thereof shall be the "original executed counterpart" of this Lease. To the
extent that this Lease constitutes chattel paper, as such term is defined in the
Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any applicable jurisdiction, no security
interest in this Lease may be created through the transfer or possession of any
counterpart other than the "original executed counterpart".
SECTION 20.7 GOVERNING LAW. THIS LEASE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO
CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES EXCEPT SECTION 5-1401 OF THE

OBLIGATIONS LAW AND EXCEPT AS TO MATTERS RELATING TO THE CREATION OF THE
LEASEHOLD ESTATES, SECURITY INTERESTS AND MORTGAGES UNDER THIS LEASE AND THE
EXERCISE OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES WITH RESPECT THERETO, WHICH SHALL BE GOVERNED BY
AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS.
SECTION 20.8 DISCHARGE OF LESSEE'S OBLIGATIONS BY ITS AFFILIATES. Lessor
agrees that performance of any of Lessee's obligations hereunder by one or more
of its Affiliates or one or more sublessees of the Property or any part thereof
shall constitute performance by Lessee of such obligations to the same extent
and with the same effect hereunder as if such obligations were performed by
Lessee, but no such performance shall excuse Lessee from any obligation not
performed by it or on its behalf under this Lease or any other Operative
Document.
SECTION 20.9 LIABILITY OF LESSOR LIMITED. All payments to be made by Lessor
in respect of the Loans, the Notes and the Loan Agreement shall be made only
from certain payments received under the Lease and certain proceeds of the
Property and only to the extent that Lessor shall have received sufficient
payments from such sources to make payments in respect of the Loans. Each
Participant agrees that it will look solely to such sources of payments to the
extent available for distribution to such Participant as herein provided and
that neither Lessor nor Administrative Agent is or shall be personally liable to
any other Participant for any amount payable hereunder or under any Note.
Nothing in the Loan Agreement, the Notes or any other Operative Document shall
be construed as creating any liability (other than for willful misconduct or
gross negligence) of Lessor to pay any sum or to perform any covenant, either
express or implied, in the Lease, the Loan Agreement, the Notes or any other
Operative Documents (all such liability, if any, being expressly waived by
Lessee, Participants and Administrative Agent) and that each Participant and
each Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns,
agrees in the case of any liability of Lessor hereunder or thereunder (except
for such liability attributable to its willful misconduct or gross negligence)
that it will look solely to those certain payments received under the Lease and
those certain proceeds of the Property, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Lessor shall in
any event be liable with respect to (i) the removal of Lessor's Liens resulting
from claims against or acts or breaches by Lessor or involving its gross
negligence or willful misconduct or (ii) failure to turn over payments Lessor
has received in respect of Basic Rent; and PROVIDED FURTHER that the foregoing
exculpation of Lessor shall not be deemed to be exculpations of Lessee or any
other Person.

LEASE
SECTION 20.10 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Each party hereto agrees that at any
time and from time to time during the Lease Term, it will promptly, but in no
event later than fifteen (15) days after request by the other party hereto,
execute, acknowledge and deliver to such other party or to any prospective
purchaser (if such prospective purchaser has signed a commitment letter or
letter of intent to purchase the Property or any part thereof) assignee or
mortgagee or third party designated by such other party, a certificate stating
that this Lease is unmodified and in force and effect (or if there have been
modifications, that this Lease is in force and effect as modified, and

Lease Default or Lease Event of Default with respect to which a notice of
default has been served, and, if there is any such default, specifying the

force and effect as modified, and identifying the modification agreements); the
dates to which rent has been paid; whether or not there is any existing default
by any sublessee in the payment of rent or any other sum of money thereunder,
and whether or not there is any existing default or event of default with
respect to which a notice of default has been served, and, if there is any such
default, specifying the nature and extent thereof; and whether or not to the
knowledge of Lessee after due inquiry and investigation, there are any purported
setoffs, defenses or counterclaims against enforcement of the obligations to be
performed hereunder existing in favor of Lessee; and other items that may be
reasonably requested; provided that no such certificate may be requested unless
the requesting party has a good faith reason for such request.
SECTION 20.11 NO JOINT VENTURE. Any intention to create a joint venture or
partnership relation between Lessor and Lessee is hereby expressly disclaimed.
SECTION 20.12 NO ACCORD AND SATISFACTION. The acceptance by Lessor of any
sums from Lessee (whether as Basic Rent or otherwise) in amounts which are less
than the amounts due and payable by Lessee hereunder is not intended, nor shall
be construed, to constitute an accord and satisfaction of any dispute between
Lessor and Lessee regarding sums due and payable by Lessee hereunder, unless
Lessor specifically deems it as such in writing.
SECTION 20.13 NO MERGER. In no event shall the leasehold estate of Lessee
hereunder, or the rights and interests of the holder of any Notes secured by a
Lien in this Lease, merge with any interests, estates or rights of Lessor in or
to the Property, it being understood that such leasehold estate of Lessee
hereunder, and the rights and interests of the holder of any Notes secured by a
Lien in this Lease, shall be deemed to be separate and distinct from Lessor's
interests, estates and rights in or to the Property, notwithstanding that any
such interests, estates or rights shall at any time or times be held by or
vested in the same Person.
SECTION 20.14 SURVIVAL. All claims pertaining to the representations,
warranties, and covenants of Lessee under ARTICLES II, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX,
X, XI, XII, XIII, XV, XVII and XVIII shall survive the expiration or termination

Lessee or any other Indemnitee shall not affect such survival.

LEASE
SECTION 20.15 ENFORCEMENT OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES.
(a) Unless a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
Lessor authorizes Lessee (directly or through Administrative Agent), at Lessee's
expense, to assert, during the Lease Term, all of Lessor's rights (if any) under
any applicable warranty and any other claim that Lessee or Lessor may have under
the warranties provided to Lessor in connection with the purchase of the
Property and Lessor agrees to cooperate, at Lessee's expense, with Lessee and
its Administrative Agents in asserting such rights. Any amount recovered by
Lessee under any such warranties shall be paid to Lessee.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this SECTION 20.15, so
long as a Lease Event of Default or Lease Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, any amount that would otherwise be retained by Lessee pursuant to
SECTION 20.15(a) shall be paid to Lessor as security for the obligations of
Lessee under this Lease, shall be invested by Lessor in accordance with SECTION
20.16 in Permitted Investments and, if a Lease Event of Default or Lease Default
is continuing, may be applied to the obligations of Lessee hereunder, and, at
such time thereafter as no Lease Event of Default or Lease Default shall be
continuing, such amount and gain thereon shall be paid promptly to Lessee to the
extent not previously applied in accordance with the terms of this Lease.
SECTION 20.16 INVESTMENT OF SECURITY FUNDS. Any amounts not payable to
Lessee and paid to or retained by Lessor pursuant to any provision hereof solely
because a Lease Event of Default or Lease Default shall have occurred and be
continuing or because Lessee shall not have performed in full its obligations
under ARTICLE XIII shall be held by Lessor as security for the obligations of
Lessee under this Lease and the other Operative Documents. At such time as no
Lease Event of Default or Lease Default, or failure to perform shall be
continuing, such amounts, net of any amounts previously applied to Lessee's
obligations hereunder or under any other Operative Documents, shall be paid to
Lessee. Any such amounts which are held pending payment to Lessee or application
hereunder shall be invested by Lessor as directed from time to time in writing
by Lessee (PROVIDED, HOWEVER, if a Lease Event of Default or Lease Default has
occurred and is continuing, it will be directed by Lessor), and at the expense
and risk of Lessee, in Permitted Investments. Any gain (including interest
received) realized as the result of any such investment (net of any fees,
commissions and other expenses, if any, incurred in connection with such
investment) shall be applied from time to time in the same manner as the
principal invested. Lessee will promptly pay to Lessor, on demand, the amount of
any loss realized as the result of any such investment (together with any fees,
commissions and other expenses, if any, incurred in connection with such
investment), such amount to be held, paid and applied in the same manner as
other amounts subject to this SECTION 20.16.
SECTION 20.17 RECORDING OF LEASE. Lessor and Lessee shall execute,
acknowledge and cause to be recorded this Lease or the Lease Supplements in the
official records of each County where the Properties that are the subject of
this Lease are located.
SECTION 20.18 NATURE OF TRANSACTION.
It is the intent of the parties hereto that: (i) the transaction
contemplated hereby preserves ownership in each Property to Lessee for purposes
of Federal and state income tax and
40
LEASE
bankruptcy purposes, (ii) Lessee, pursuant to the Lease, grants a security
interest or lien, as the case may be, in the Property and the other Collateral
to the Lessor, (iii) for purposes of Federal and state income tax and bankruptcy
purposes, among others, the payment by Lessee of Basic Rent shall be treated as
payments of interest, and the payment by Lessee of any amounts in respect of the
Lease Balance or Property Balance shall be treated as repayments of principal,
and (iv) the Assignment of Lease creates a lien and security interest in the
Lease, subject to certain limited exceptions. Nevertheless, Lessee acknowledges
and agrees that neither Lessor nor Administrative Agent has provided or will
provide tax, accounting or legal advice to Lessee regarding the Overall
Transaction or made any representations or warranties concerning the tax,
accounting or legal characteristics of the Operative Documents and that Lessee
has obtained and relied upon such tax, accounting and legal advice concerning
the Operative Documents as it deems appropriate.

SECTION 6. OWNERSHIP OF THE PROPERTY.
(a) It is the intent of the parties hereto that: (i) the transaction
contemplated hereby preserves ownership in the Property to Lessee for purposes
of Federal and state income tax and bankruptcy purposes, (ii) Lessee, pursuant
to the Lease, grants a security interest or lien, as the case may be, in the
Property and the other Collateral to the Lessor, (iii) for purposes of Federal
and state income tax and bankruptcy purposes, among others, the payment by
Lessee of Basic Rent shall be treated as payments of interest, and the payment
by Lessee of any amounts in respect of the Lease Balance shall be treated as
repayments of principal, and (iv) the Assignment of Lease creates a lien and
security interest in the Lease, subject to certain limited exceptions.
Nevertheless, Lessee acknowledges and agrees that neither Lessor nor
Administrative Agent has provided or will provide tax, accounting or legal
advice to Lessee regarding the Overall Transaction or made any representations
or warranties concerning the tax, accounting or legal characteristics of the
Operative Documents and that Lessee has obtained and relied upon such tax,
accounting and legal advice concerning the Operative Documents as it deems
appropriate.
(b) Title to the Property shall remain in Lessor, as security for the
obligations of Lessee under the Lease and under each of the other Operative
Documents to which it is a party until such time as Lessee shall have fulfilled
all of its obligations under the Lease and under such other Operative Documents.
Lessee hereby assigns, grants, mortgages, warrants and pledges, and reaffirms
its prior assignment, grant, mortgage, warrant and pledge under the Original
Lease, with mortgage covenants to the Lessor a mortgage lien and security
interest in and against all of Lessee's right, title and interest, if any,
whether now or hereafter existing or acquired, in the Property and the other
Collateral to secure the payment and performance of all obligations of Lessee
now or hereafter existing under the Lease or any other Operative Document. This
grant of mortgage is on the STATUTORY CONDITION. Lessee shall, at its expense,
do any further act and execute, acknowledge, deliver, file, register and record
any further documents which any may reasonably request in order to protect its
title to and perfected Lien in the Property and the other Collateral, subject to
no Liens other than Permitted Liens, and Lessor's rights and benefits under the
Lease. Lessee shall promptly and duly execute and deliver to Lessor such
documents and assurances and take such further actions as any Participant may
from
8
LEASE
time to time reasonably request in order to carry out more effectively the
intent and purpose of the Lease, the mortgage granted hereunder and the other
Operative Documents, to establish and protect the rights and remedies created or
intended to be created in favor of Lessor hereunder and thereunder, and to
establish, perfect and maintain the right, title and interest of Lessor in and
to the Property and the other Collateral, subject to no Lien other than
Permitted Liens, or of such mortgages, financing statements or fixture filings
or other documents with respect hereto as any Participant may from time to time
reasonably request, and Lessee agrees to execute and deliver promptly such of
the foregoing mortgages, financing statements and fixture filings or other
documents as may require execution by Lessee. To the extent permitted by
Applicable Law, Lessee hereby authorizes any such mortgages, financing statement
and fixture filings to be filed without the necessity of the signature of
Lessee. Upon Lessee's request, Lessor shall at such time as all of the
obligations of Lessee under the Lease or any other Operative Documents have been
indefeasibly paid or performed in full (other than Lessee's contingent
obligations, if any, under Article VII of the Participation Agreement) execute
and deliver termination statements and other appropriate documentation
reasonably requested by Lessee, all at Lessee's expense, to evidence Lessor's
release of its Lien against the Collateral.
(c) Lessee hereby irrevocably appoints Lessor as Lessee's
attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of Lessee and in
the name of Lessee or otherwise, from time to time in Lessor's discretion, to
execute any instrument which Lessor may deem necessary or advisable to
accomplish the purposes of the Lease (subject to any limitations set forth in
the Operative Documents), and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
a Lease Event of Default, to take any action (including any action that Lessee
is entitled to take), including, without limitation:
(i) to ask, demand, collect, ▇▇▇ for, recover, compromise,
receive and give acquittance and receipts for money due and to become
due under or in connection with the Property and the other Collateral
or any sublease;
(ii) to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other
instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with the
foregoing CLAUSE (b);
(iii) to file any claim or take any action or institute any
proceedings which Lessor may deem to be necessary or advisable for the
collection thereof or to enforce compliance with the terms and
conditions of the Lease; and
(iv) to perform any affirmative obligations of Lessee under
the Lease, including the execution of mortgages, financing statements
and other documents and to enforce any sublease.
Lessee hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees that the power of attorney
granted pursuant to this SECTION 6 is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.
(d) Lessor and the Lessee agree that upon the occurrence of a Lease Event
of Default, the Lessor may exercise the STATUTORY POWER OF SALE, and may proceed
by a suit or suits in equity or at law, whether for a foreclosure hereunder, or
for the sale of the Property and the other Collateral, or against the Lessee on
a recourse basis for the Lease Balance and all other amounts due from Lessee
under the Lease, or for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement
herein contained 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 Property and the other Collateral, or for the enforcement of any other
appropriate legal or equitable remedy, and at any foreclosure sale Lessor may
become the purchaser, and in such case for the purpose of making settlement for
or payment of the purchase price, shall be entitled to offset any claims for
9
LEASE
the amounts due hereunder and under the Operative Documents in order that they
may be credited as paid on the purchase price. Lessee hereby grants to Lessor a
STATUTORY POWER OF SALE, and hereby assents to the passage of a decree for the
sale of the Property upon the occurrence of a Lease Event of Default. Any sale
made pursuant to the Statutory Power of Sale shall be made in accordance with
Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 183, Section 21.
(e) Upon the occurrence of a Lease Event of Default, Lessor, as a matter
of right and without notice to Lessee or anyone claiming under Lessee, and
without regard to the then value of the Property or the Collateral or the
interest of Lessee therein, shall have the right to apply to any court having
jurisdiction to appoint a receiver or receivers of the Property and Collateral,
and Lessee hereby irrevocably consents to such appointment and waives notice of
any application therefor. Any such receiver or receivers shall have all the
usual powers and duties of receivers in like or similar cases and all the powers
and duties of Lessor in case of entry as provided in the Lease and shall
continue as such and exercise all such powers until the latest to occur of (i)
the date of confirmation of sale of the Property and Collateral; (ii) the
disbursement of all proceeds of the Property and Collateral collected by such
receiver and the payment of all expenses incurred in connection therewith; or
(iii) the termination of such receivership with the consent of Lessor or
pursuant to an order by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(f) This instrument will be deemed given to secure not only existing
amounts due hereunder and under the Operative Documents, but also future
advances, whether such advances are obligatory or to be made at the option of
the Participants or otherwise, to the same extent as if such future advances
were made on the date of execution of this instrument. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, the Lien of this instrument shall be valid as to all such
indebtedness, including all future advances, from the time this instrument is
recorded. Notwithstanding anything in this instrument to the contrary, the
maximum principal amount of Indebtedness secured by this instrument at any one
time shall not exceed One Hundred Sixty Six Million and No/100 Dollars
($166,000,000) in principal amount, plus all accrued but unpaid Rent, plus all
cost of enforcement and collection of this instrument, the Notes and the other
Operative Documents, plus the total amount of any advances made pursuant thereto
to protect the collateral and the security interest and Lien created hereby,
together with interest and yield on all of the foregoing as provided in the
Operative Documents.
(g) Without in any way limiting or restricting any of Lessor's rights,
remedies, powers and authorities under this instrument, and in addition to all
of such rights, remedies, powers, and authorities, the Lessor shall also have
and may exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and authorities which the
holder of a mortgage is permitted to have or exercise under the Statutory Power
of Sale.
(h) The Lessee, on behalf of itself and all Persons now or hereafter
interested in the Property and the other Collateral, voluntarily and knowingly
hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any and all
rights to reinstatement or redemption and any and all other rights under all
present and future appraisement, homestead, moratorium, valuation, exemption,
stay, extension, and redemption statutes, laws or equities now or hereafter
existing, and hereby further waives the pleading of any statute of limitations
as a defense to any and all indebtedness secured by this instrument, and the
Lessee agrees that no defense, claim or right based on any thereof will be
asserted, or may be enforced, in any action enforcing or relating to
10
LEASE
this instrument. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the
Lessee, on its own behalf and on behalf of each and every Person acquiring any
interest in or title to the Property subsequent to the date of this instrument,
hereby irrevocably waives any and all rights of reinstatement or redemption from
sale under any order, judgment or decree of foreclosure of this instrument or
under any power contained herein or under any sale pursuant to any statute,
order, judgment or decree of foreclosure of any court.
