2. Term
----
(a) Subject to the provisions hereof, Lessee shall have and hold the
Leased Property for a term (the Basic Term) which shall, begin on the
commencement date specified in Item 4 of Schedule B (the Commencement Date) and
end at midnight on the basic term expiration date set forth in Item 5 of
Schedule B (the Basic Term Expiration Date) unless sooner terminated or extended
as hereinafter expressly provided.
(b) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
on the last day of the then current Term, Lessee may elect to extend and renew
the Term for five (5) additional terms, the first such additional term to be ten
(10) years and the second through fifth such additional terms to be five (5)
years each (Renewal Terms). Each such election shall be exercised by Lessee not
less than the later of (x) 30 days after Lessor delivers to Lessee a "Reminder
Notice" (hereafter defined) and (y) 270 days prior to the expiration of the then
current Term, by written notice to Lessor, which notice shall include the name
and address of Lessee's designated appraiser for determination of the fair
market rent in accordance with Schedule H of this Lease. A Reminder Notice shall
be a notice from Lessor to Lessee, delivered no sooner than 450 days prior to
the expiration of the then current term, advising Lessee of its next renewal
right hereunder. Either party, upon request of the other, will execute and
acknowledge, in form suitable for recording, an instrument confirming any such
extension. Time shall be of the essence with respect to the giving of notice by
Lessee of its election to extend any Term.
3. Rent
----
(a) During the Term, Lessee shall pay the rent provided in Item 7 of
Schedule B (Basic Rent) to Lessor (or to such other party as Lessor may from
time to time specify in writing) by check, at such place, within the continental
United States, as Lessor may from time to time designate to Lessee in writing.
Basic Rent shall be payable by Lessee in installments in the amounts set forth
in Item 7 of Schedule B and (except for the first payment of Basic Rent which
shall be due and payable on the date of commencement of the Basic Term) shall be
due and payable on the dates specified in item 7 of Schedule B (Installment
Payment Dates) and shall constitute Basic Rent for the periods specified in said
item 7. If any Installment Payment Date
-2-
falls on a day which is not a Business Day, Basic Rent shall be due and payable
on the immediately following Business Day.
(b) All amounts which Lessee is required to pay or discharge pursuant to
this Lease in addition to Basic Rent (including, without limitation, amounts
payable as the purchase price for the Leased Property pursuant to Articles 9 and
12, and any amounts payable pursuant to Article 12, 19 or 23 hereof or as
liquidated damages pursuant to Article 20) together with every penalty, overdue
interest and cost which may be added for nonpayment or late payment thereof,
shall constitute additional rent hereunder (Additional Rent). In the event of
any failure by Lessee to pay or discharge any Additional Rent, Lessor shall have
all rights, powers and remedies provided for herein or by law or otherwise in
the case of nonpayment of Basic Rent. Lessee shall, unless otherwise requested
by Lessor, pay Additional Rent directly to the Person entitled thereto. Lessee
also covenants to pay to Lessor on demand as Additional Rent, interest at a rate
(the Overdue Rate), calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve equal
months, equal to the greater of (i) twelve percent (12%) per annum or (ii) four
percent (4%) per annum over the prime rate reported from time to time in the
Money Rates Section of The Wall Street Journal, or if not included in such
publication, The New York Times, or if not included in such publication the
average prime rate published from time to time in another business newspaper, or
business section of a newspaper, of national standing chosen by Lessor, but in
no event greater than the maximum rate not prohibited by applicable law, on (i)
all overdue installments of Basic Rent from the due date thereof until paid in
full, (ii) all overdue amounts of Additional Rent, arising out of obligations
which Lessor shall have paid on behalf of Lessee pursuant hereto from the date
of such payment by Lessor until paid in full and (iii) each other sum required
to be paid by Lessee hereunder which is overdue, including without limitation,
amounts payable as the purchase price for the Leased Property pursuant to
Articles 9 and 23, and any amounts payable pursuant to Article 12, 19 or 23 or
as liquidated damages pursuant to Article 20, from the date such sum was due
until the date received by the Person entitled thereto. Lessee also covenants to
pay to Lessor on demand as Additional Rent, a late fee equal to 5% of any Basic
Rent or Additional Rent which has not been paid within 10 days after the same is
due. In the event any Basic Rent or Additional Rent is collected by or through
an attorney, as Additional Rent, Lessee agrees to pay all costs of collection,
including, but not limited to, attorney's fees, and to reimburse Lessor for any
costs of collection, including without limitation, attorney's fees, incurred by
Lessor's Mortgagee.
4. Use. Lessee may use the Leased Property for any lawful purpose in its
---
current primary business operations (the "Original Uses") and for any other
lawful use provided such other lawful use (i) does not have a material, adverse
impact on the value of the Leased Property, (ii) is consistent with the business
uses of other properties located in the same general area as the Leased
Property, and (iii) does not result in, or increase the likelihood of, a
material decline in the value of the Leased
-3-
Property or materially increase the risk of loss to Lessor (such as by
increasing the potential exposure to hazardous substances or by adversely
affecting the ability of the owner to use the Leased Property for the Original
Uses due to the potential loss of then existing "grandfathered" zoning status).
Lessee may not cease operation at the Leased Property unless (i) no Event of
Default exists hereunder and Lessee satisfies the Credit Rating Test (defined in
Article 12(c), and (ii) such cessation will not adversely affect the right of
the owner of the Leased Property under existing state or zoning laws concerning
the discontinuance of non-conforming uses or structures to (A) rebuild the
Improvement in the event of a casualty to substantially the same condition as
they existed prior to any such casualty and (B) conduct the same use, in the
event of a casualty at the Leased Property as conducted by Lessee prior to
cessation of its operations. Such cessation of operations will not affect the
insurance coverage required to be maintained hereunder, which Lessee agrees to
maintain in full force and effect:

charges and other governmental and similar charges, and all other liens or
charges whatsoever which may be or become a lien against the Leased Property
(excluding any Mortgages or other liens created by, through or under Lessor
without Lessee's consent and which are not otherwise the responsibility of

extraordinary, and whether or not the same shall have been within the express
contemplation of the parties hereto, and any interest and penalties thereon,
which are levied or assessed or are otherwise due during the Term (collectively,

Mortgagee with receipts (or if receipts are not available, with copies of

the times required by and pursuant to the terms of Article 13.

vault spaces, curbs and gutters adjoining the Leased Property, or the
appurtenances to the Leased Property, or the franchises and privileges connected
therewith, whether or not such shall now exist or shall hereafter be enacted or
promulgated, and whether or not such are within the present contemplation of
Lessor or Lessee (collectively, Legal Requirements), whether or not such Legal
Requirements shall necessitate structural changes, improvements, interference

extraordinary as well as ordinary. Lessee shall, at Lessee's cost and expense,
perform and comply with the terms of any easement granted or released pursuant
to Article 21. Lessee shall, at its expense, comply with all provisions of
insurance policies required pursuant to Article 13, and with the provisions of
all contracts, agreements, instruments and restrictions affecting the Leased
Property or any part thereof or its ownership, occupancy, use, operation or
possession. Lessor will not enter into any contracts affecting the Leased
Property with which Lessee is bound to comply, without Lessee's consent, not to
be
-7-
unreasonably withheld. Lessee shall comply with the terms of and perform its
obligations under any consent of Lessee to any assignment of this Lease to
Lessor's Mortgagee. This subsection shall not apply to Lessee's compliance with
laws relating to Environmental Laws, which are exclusively addressed by Article
9 hereof.
(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 6 and Article 7, if no
default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessee shall
have the right to contest, in good faith and at its expense, by appropriate
legal proceedings (including through abatement proceedings), any Taxes or
Impositions, and/or any Legal Requirement affecting the Leased Property, and to
postpone payment of or compliance with the same during the pendency of such
contest, provided that (i) the commencement and continuation of such proceedings
shall suspend the collection thereof from, and suspend the enforcement thereof
against, Lessor and the Leased Property, (ii) no, part of the Leased Property
nor any Basic Rent or Additional Rent shall be interfered with or shall be in
danger of being sold, forfeited, attached or lost, (iii) Lessee shall promptly

fines, interest, costs and expenses thereof or in connection therewith, and
perform all acts the performance of which shall be ordered or decreed as a
result thereof. Lessor shall cooperate in good faith with Lessee with respect to
any such contest, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, and provided such
cooperation shall not create any risk of liability to Lessor, its trustees or
beneficiaries.
7. Liens; Subordinations
---------------------
(a) Lessee represents and warrants that on the date of delivery of this
Lease, fee simple title in the Leased Property was vested in Lessor subject only
to Permitted Encumbrances. Subject to the provisions of paragraph (d) of Article
6, Lessee will promptly, but in any event no later than 30 days after its Actual
Knowledge of the filing thereof but in any event prior to the enforcement of the
same, at its own expense remove and discharge of record, by bond or otherwise,
any charge, lien, security interest or encumbrance upon the Leased Property,
upon any
-8-
Basic Rent, or upon any Additional Rent which arises for any reason (except for
liens arising out of the act or omission of Lessor without the consent of
Lessee), including all liens which arise out of Lessee's possession, use,
operation and occupancy of the Leased Property, but not including any Permitted
Encumbrances. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as constituting
the consent or request of Lessor, express or implied, to or for the performance
by any contractor, laborer, materialman, or vendor of any labor or services or
for the furnishing of any materials for any construction, alteration, addition,
repair or demolition of or to the Leased Property or any part thereof. Notice is
hereby given that Lessor will not be liable for any labor, services or materials
furnished or to be furnished to Lessee, or to anyone holding an interest in the
Leased 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 Leased Property. If Lessee
shall fail to discharge any charge, lien, security interest or encumbrance
within the time period permitted by this Lease, Lessor may discharge the same by
payment or bond or both, and Lessee will repay to Lessor, upon demand, any and
all amounts paid therefor, or by reason of any liability on such bond, and also
any and all reasonable incidental expenses, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, incurred by Lessor in connection therewith together with interest on all
such amounts calculated at the Overdue Rate.
(b) This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to all present and future
mortgages (Mortgages) on the fee interest in the Leased Property and to all
advances made upon the security thereof, provided that the holder of the
Mortgage shall execute and deliver to Lessee an agreement (SNDA Agreement), in
form substantially similar to Schedule F hereto, providing that such holder will
recognize this Lease and not disturb Lessee's possession of the Leased Property
in the event of foreclosure if no Event of Default is then in existence; and
concurrently therewith Lessee shall execute and deliver an estoppel certificate
in form substantially similar to Schedule G hereto. Lessee agrees, upon receipt
of such SNDA Agreement, to execute such further reasonable instrument(s) as may
be necessary to subordinate this Lease to the lien of any such Mortgage, and
also to execute such instrument(s) recognizing the assignment of this Lease or
the Basic Rent, Additional Rent, and other sums payable by Lessee hereunder to
the holder of any such Mortgage. The term "Mortgage" shall include deeds of
trust or any other similar lien documents.
(C) Lessee agrees to attorn, from time to time, to the holder of each
Mortgage and/or the holder of such subsequent mortgage, or any purchaser of the
Leased Property, for the remainder of the Term, provided that such holder or
such purchaser, shall then be entitled to possession of the Leased Property
subject to the provisions of this Lease. The provisions of this subsection shall
inure to the benefit of such holder or such purchaser, shall apply
notwithstanding that, as a matter of law, this Lease may terminate upon the
foreclosure of the Mortgage (in which event the parties shall execute a new
lease for the remainder of the Term on the same terms set forth herein), shall
be self-operative upon any such demand, and no further
-9-
instrument shall be required to give effect to said provisions. Each such party,
however, upon demand of the other, hereby agrees to execute, from time to time,
instruments in confirmation of the foregoing provisions hereof, reasonably
satisfactory to the requesting party acknowledging such subordination, non-
disturbance and attornment as are provided herein and setting forth the terms
and conditions of its tenancy.

relating to the Leased Property, or (D) any contract or agreement to which
Lessee is a party or any restriction, law, ordinance or regulation, affecting
the Leased Property or the ownership, use, nonuse, occupancy, condition,

adjoining property, sidewalks, streets or ways; (iii) any contest permitted by
Article 6; or (iv) Lessee's failure to pay in accordance with the terms and
provisions hereof any item of Additional Rent or other sums payable by Lessee
hereunder. Lessee shall not be liable in any case to any Indemnified Party for
any liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action,
costs or expenses to the extent that they result from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. If Lessor, Lessor's Mortgagee, or
any agent of Lessor or Lessor's Mortgagee, or any other Indemnified Party, shall
be made a party to any such litigation commenced against Lessee, and if Lessee,
at its expense, shall fail to provide Lessor or Lessor's Mortgagee or its agent
or other Indemnified Party with counsel reasonably acceptable to such party,
Lessee shall pay all costs and reasonable attorney's fees and expenses
-10-
incurred or paid by Lessor or Lessor's Mortgagee or its agent or other
Indemnified Party in connection with such litigation.
(b) The representations, warranties and obligations of Lessee, and the
rights and remedies of each Indemnified Party under this Article 8, are in
addition to and not in limitation of any other representations, warranties,

asbestos-containing material operations and maintenance plan for any such
identified or presumed asbestos-containing materials, which addresses 29 C.F.R.
1910 et seq. (the "Asbestos 0 & M Plan") such written plan to be in form and

or under the Leased Property, regardless of the source of any such Hazardous
Substances; and
(vi) to Lessee's Actual Knowledge, the Environmental Site Assessment
is true, correct and complete, and contains no misstatement of fact or omission
of any fact which would make the statements contained therein untrue, incomplete
or misleading in any material respect.
-12-
(b) Promptly upon obtaining Actual Knowledge thereof, Lessee shall give
to Lessor notice of the occurrence of any of the following, in each case
relating to the Leased Property or the use, occupancy or operation thereof in
respect of any Environmental Law: (i) the failure of the Leased Property,
Lessee, any sublessee or assignee of Lessee or invitee of Lessee, or any other
party claiming by, through, or under Lessee, to comply therewith in any manner
whatsoever; (ii) the issuance to Lessee, or any sublessee of any portion of the

(c) At any time (i) if Lessor receives notice that an adverse change in
the environmental condition of the Leased Property has occurred or that an
adverse environmental condition with respect to the Leased Property has been
discovered, Lessor shall give notice thereof to Lessee, and if Lessee shall not
(A) diligently connanence to cure such condition, to the extent necessary to
meet Legal Requirements to comply fully with applicable Environmental Laws, or
to prevent a material diminution in the fair market value of the Leased Property
related to the environmental condition, within 30 days after receipt of such
notice (or such shorter period as may be required by law or in the event of an
emergency), provided that if such cure cannot be completed with diligence within
such 30 day period, and so long as Lessee is performing such cure with
reasonable diligence, the time period within which such cure may be completed
shall be extended for such period as may be reasonably necessary to complete
such cure with diligence, provided the same shall be subject to Lessor's
approval and is consistent with the requirements of applicable law, and (B)
thereafter diligently prosecute to completion such cure, or (ii) in any event
after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder or if Lessor
or Lessor's Mortgagee has reasonable cause to believe that Lessor is in default
or has permitted a default hereunder or that there has been a material adverse
change in the environmental condition of the Leased Property, Lessor may cause
to be performed or direct Lessee to cause to be performed an environmental audit
or site assessment of the Leased Property and the then uses thereof reasonable
in scope under the circumstances, and may take such actions as it may deem
necessary to cure such condition or to cause the Leased Property to comply with
any Environmental Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor may not exercise
its rights under clause (ii) above more than once in any twelve month period,
unless an Event of Default has occurred during such period, in which event such
limitation shall not be applicable. Such environmental audit or site assessment
shall be performed by an engineer qualified by law and experience to perform the
same and satisfactory to Lessor and Lessor's Mortgagee, shall include a review
of the uses of the Leased Property and
-13-
compliance of the same with all Environmental Laws, and shall include an
estimate of the cost to cure any breach or default in Lessee's covenants
hereunder. All costs and expenses incurred by Lessor or Lessor's Mortgagee in
connection with such environmental audit or assessment and any remediation
required shall be paid by Lessee upon demand and shall bear interest after 30
days after demand therefor at the Overdue Rate. Such audit or assessment shall
be addressed to Lessor and Lessor's Mortgagee and shall provide expressly that
they can rely on its findings. Except as required by law, the results of such
audit or assessment shall not be disclosed to third parties by Lessor or
Lessor's Mortgagee without the prior written consent of Lessee.
(d) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (d) of Article 6 hereof, in the
event of a violation of or the discovery of a violation of any Environmental Law
by Lessee, any sublessee of any portion of the Leased Property, any assignee of
Lessee or any invitee of Lessee, or any other Person claiming by, through, or
under Lessee, or resulting from Lessee's failure to comply with this Article 9,
Lessee shall promptly perform all remedial actions to clean up, contain, or
remove any Hazardous Substances on, under or in the Leased Property in
accordance with, and as required by, applicable Environmental Laws and otherwise
to cure any such violation of any Environmental Law, all at Lessee's sole cost
and expense. Lessee shall determine the nature and scope of all such required
remedial actions within 30 days after obtaining Actual Knowledge of any such
violation and shall complete all such actions within 120 days following the date
that the nature and scope of such required remedial actions are identified,
provided that if such remedial actions cannot be completed with diligence within
such 120 day period, and so long as Lessee is performing such remedial actions
with due diligence, the time within which such remedial actions may be completed
shall be extended for such period as may be reasonably necessary to complete
such remedial action with diligence, provided the same shall be subject to
Lessor's approval and consistent with the requirements of applicable law. If, as
a result of any such violation, a lien attaches to the Leased Property that
takes priority over the lien of the Mortgage, Lessee shall promptly, and in any
event within 10 days after the attachment of any such lien, discharge or contest
such lien in accordance with Article 6(d) and post a bond or deposit an
irrevocable letter of credit with Lessor's Mortgagee, in either event
satisfactory in form and substance and with a surety or obligor satisfactory to
Lessor's Mortgagee and in an amount sufficient to discharge such lien.
Reference is made to those certain agreements and indemnities made by Ball
Metal Food Container Corp. and Ball Corporation (collectively, "Ball") to Lessee
with respect to environmental matters affecting the Leased Property pursuant to
a certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated October 6, 1996 between Lessee and Ball
(the "Ball Environmental Indemnities"). Lessee agrees that it will not knowingly
waive or terminate any material right under the Ball Environmental Indemnities
without Lessor's consent, that it will give notice to Lessor of all claims and
demands made by
-14-
Lessee under the Ball Environmental Indemnities (whether or not they relate to
the Leased Property or to other property covered thereby), and will keep Lessor
reasonably informed of the status of any remediation or investigation of
hazardous materials made by Ball, Lessee or any affiliate of Lessee with respect
to the Leased Property or any other property adjacent to or in the vicinity of
the Leased Property, and will provide to Lessor copies of all reports, test
results and other material non-privileged written documentation in its
possession or control from time to time relating to any such remediation or
investigation.
Lessee agrees to implement a routine monitoring program as recommended
by the Environmental Site Assessment and promptly to provide all results, data,
reports and work product from such program to Lessor.
(e) Lessee agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Indemnified
Party from and against any and all losses which may be suffered or incurred by,
or asserted against such Indemnified Party to the extent arising directly or
indirectly out of, (i) the use, storage, transportation, disposal, treatment,
release, threatened release, discharge, emission, generation or presence of any
Hazardous Substances at, from, on, over, under or in the Leased Property
occurring before or during the Term of the Lease, regardless of whether a claim
is brought or loss suffered or incurred before, during or after the Term of this
Lease and regardless of the source of any such Hazardous Substances, or (ii) any
default in. the performance of any obligation under this Article 9 or any
violation of any Environmental Law with respect to the Leased Property or by
Lessee or any Person claiming by, through or under Lessee, or resulting from
Lessee's failure to comply with this Article 9, except to the extent any such
losses arise out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor. Lessee
agrees to execute and to cause Guarantor to execute and deliver to Lessor's
Mortgagee such separate instrument of indemnity with respect to environmental
matters as Lessor's Mortgagee may reasonably require (the "Mortgagee
Indemnity"), provided that in the event of any conflict in the terms, conditions
or enforcement of the indemnification provided for in this Section 9(e) and the
Mortgagee Indemnity, the terms, conditions and enforcement of the Mortgagee
Indemnity shall take precedence.
(f) The obligations and liabilities of Lessee with respect to each
Indemnified Party, actual or contingent, under this Article 9 and relating to
the period through the end of the Term, whether arising before or after the
Term, shall survive such termination of this Lease or the abandonment of the
Leased Property by Lessee and repayment of the Notes, or any acquisition or
disposition of the Leased Property, whether pursuant to subparagraph (h), below,
or otherwise, except with respect to events and circumstances resulting solely
from the acts of any Person other than Lessee, any Affiliate of Lessee, or any
Person claiming by or through Lessee or any such Affiliate and occurring after
the foreclosure of the lien of the Mortgage and the sale of the Leased Property
pursuant to such foreclosure.
-15-
(g) In the event that Lessee is in default of any obligation under this
Article 9, such default occurs on or before September 15, 2011, and Lessor
reasonably believes that the cost to cure such default will exceed $3,000,000
then, in addition to and not in limitation of, all other rights of Lessor
hereunder and without regard to whether such default constitutes an Event of
Default, Lessor may by written notice to Lessee (an Article 9 Notice) require
Lessee to purchase the Leased Property in the manner and under the terms of
Article 15. If Lessor requires Lessee to purchase the Leased Property pursuant
to this Article, then Lessee shall purchase the Leased Property on an
Installment Payment Date specified by Lessor not less than 30 nor more than 90
days after the giving of the Article 9 Notice for a purchase price equal to the
Termination Value as of the date of such purchase plus the Reinvestment Premium.
(h) Lessee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all of
the obligations of the insured (other than the obligation to pay premiums, which
shall be the responsibility of Lessor) arising under that certain insurance
obtained by Lessor from United Capitol Insurance Company, and any renewals or
replacements thereof, for the mutual benefit of Lessor and Lessor's Mortgagee,
during the entire term of this Lease.
The Environmental Insurance Policy shall contain such provisions as
Lessor deems necessary or desirable to protect its interest and shall be
satisfactory in form and substance to Lessor.
In the event that, during the twelve months prior to the last year
that the Environmental Insurance Policy remains in effect, there is an
"Environmental Contamination Discovery," as that term is defined in the
Environmental Insurance Policy, Lessor may at its option purchase an "Extended
Reporting Option;' as that term is defined in the Environmental Insurance
Policy, and the obligations of Lessee arising under this Section 9(i) shall
apply to such Extended Reporting Option. In the event the terms within quotes in
this paragraph are not defined in the Environmental Insurance Policy, then they
shall have the meaning commonly used in the industry.
10. Maintenance and Repair; Additions.
---------------------------------
(a) Lessee will, at its cost and expense, keep and maintain the Leased
Property, including all buildings, and any altered, rebuilt, additional or
substituted buildings, and other improvements, in the same condition as on the
date of this Lease, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and (except as otherwise
provided in paragraph (c) of Article 12) will make all structural and
non-structural, and ordinary and extraordinary changes, repairs and
replacements, foreseen or unforeseen, which may be required, whether or not
caused by its act or omission, to be made upon or in connection with the
improvements to the Leased Property in order to keep the same in such condition,
including taking action necessary to maintain the Leased Property
-16-
in compliance with Legal Requirements (other than Environmental Laws, which are
solely governed by Article 9 hereof.) Without limiting the foregoing, Lessee
acknowledges and agrees that its obligation as aforesaid shall include the roof
replacement and asphalt paving described in the Property Condition Survey.
Lessee shall keep the Leased Property orderly and free and clear of rubbish.
Lessor shall not be required to maintain, alter, repair, rebuild or replace any
improvements on the Leased Property or to maintain the Leased Property, and
Lessee expressly waives the right to make repairs at the expense of Lessor
pursuant to any law at any time in effect. Lessor shall have no obligation to
incur any expense of any kind or character in connection with the management,
operation or maintenance of the Leased Property during the Term of the Lease.
Lessee shall use and operate the Leased Property or cause it to be used and
operated only by personnel authorized by Lessee and Lessee shall use reasonable
precautions to prevent loss or damage to the Leased Property from fire and
other hazards.
(b) If any Improvements shall encroach upon any property, street or right-
of-way adjoining or adjacent to the Leased Property, or shall violate any
restrictive covenant affecting the Leased Property or any part thereof, or shall
impair the rights of others under or obstruct any easement or right-of-way to
which the Leased Property is subject (excluding, however, covenants, easements
or rights-of-way granted by Lessor after commencement of the Term without the
consent of Lessee), then, promptly after the written request of Lessor or any
Person affected by any such encroachment, violation, impairment or obstruction,
Lessee shall, at its expense, either (i) obtain effective waivers or settlements
of all claims, liabilities and damages resulting from each such encroachment,
violation, impairment or obstruction or (ii) make such changes in the
Improvements and take such other action as shall be necessary to remove such
encroachments or obstructions and to end such violations or impairments,
including, if necessary, the alteration or removal of any Improvement. Any such
alteration or removal shall be made to the same extent as if such alteration or
removal were an alteration under the provisions of paragraphs (c) or (d) of this
Article 10 and there shall be no abatement of rent by reason of such alteration
or removal.
(c) Lessee shall have the right to make non-structural alterations,
modifications or improvements to the Improvements and the Land and to make any
alterations, additions, modifications or improvements to the Leased Property
whether or not structurally integrated with the existing Improvements, the cost
of which in any instance is $250,000 or less (a Minor Addition) without Lessor's
consent; provided, however, that prior to commencing any addition having a
potential cost exceeding $250,000, Lessee shall have delivered to Lessor and
Lessor's Mortgagee (A) a certificate of a structural engineer licensed in the
state in which the Leased Property is located and (B) a certificate of an
officer of Lessee certifying that such Minor Addition, if constructed in
accordance with the proposed plans and specifications, copies of which shall be
delivered to Lessor and Lessor's Mortgagee, will not
-17-
adversely affect the structural integrity of the Improvements or materially
impair the utility, fair market value, useful life or operation of the Leased
Property and will conform with the character and quality of the existing
Improvements and all Legal Requirements (including, without limitation, the
Americans with Disabilities Act), provided that no such Certificate under clause
(A) above shall be required for any addition which does not involve the
preparation of plans and specifications. All Minor Additions will be constructed
in a good and workmanlike manner using a quality of material and workmanship at
least as good as to the original work or installation of the Improvements and in
compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements and will be completed in a
commercially reasonable time period. Each Minor Addition shall be made at the
sole cost and expense of Lessee, may not be encumbered by Lessee and (other than
Trade Fixtures) shall become the property of Lessor and subject to this Lease,
provided that Lessee may remove any Minor Addition which is non-structural,
provided Lessee repairs any damage resulting from such removal. No Minor
Addition or other alteration or addition which does not satisfy all of the
foregoing requirements of this subparagraph (c) shall be made without Lessor's
written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed.
Lessee agrees to complete the repairs, replacements and improvements to the
Leased Property described on Schedule I (the "Scheduled Capital Improvements")
in accordance with the provisions of this Article 10 no later than one year from
the date hereof, except that the parking lot resurface work identified in
Schedule I (the "Immediate Repair Work") shall be completed no later than six
(6) months from the date hereof, and the roof repair work identified in Schedule
I shall be completed no later than eighteen (18) months from the date hereof
Lessee represents and warrants to Lessor that the estimated cost to complete
such Scheduled Capital Improvements is as set forth on Schedule I.
Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that, without limiting Lessor's other rights
hereunder, in the event that the Immediate Repair Work is not completed within
six (6) months from the date hereof, Lessee shall immediately deposit with
Lessor an amount (the "Escrow Funds") equal to the lesser of (A) Fifty-Five
Thousand Dollars ($55,000.00) or (B) one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of
the cost to complete the Immediate Repair Work as determined in writing by EMG,
such determination to be made at Lessee's sole cost and expense. Lessor shall
cause the Escrow Funds to be released to Lessee upon satisfaction of the
Completion Conditions (hereafter defined) with respect to the Immediate Repair
Work.
Lessee agrees to provide no later than the date by when each Scheduled
C4pital Improvement is to be completed the following:
-18-
(i) an affidavit from Lessee certifying that the Lessee has
completed the Scheduled Capital Improvement and that all costs in connection
therewith have been paid, together with copies of receipts for paid invoices.
(ii) copies of building permits, certificates of occupancy or other
certificates issued by governmental authorities, if any, in connection with the
work performed.
(iii) a letter from the entity which prepared the Property Condition
Survey, addressed to Lessor and Lessor's Mortgagee, confirming that the
applicable Scheduled Capital Improvements have been completed in a good and
workmanlike manner.
The delivery of the items described in clauses (i) through (iii) above
shall, with respect to each particular Scheduled Capital Improvement, constitute
satisfaction of the "Completion Conditions."
Lessor and Lessee agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth in this Lease, the Scheduled Capital Improvements may be completed without
Lessee being required to comply with clauses (A) and (B) of the first sentence
of Section 10(C) hereof.
(d) All work done in accordance with this Article 10 shall comply with the
requirements of all insurance policies required to be maintained by Lessee
hereunder.
11. Trade Fixtures. Lessor acknowledges and agrees that all personal property,
--------------
trade fixtures, machinery and equipment, including the items of trade fixtures,
machinery and equipment described in Schedule E (but specifically excluding
Improvements, electrical, plumbing, HVAC and other building systems and other
replacements of fixtures, machinery and equipment which are the property of
Lessor) hereto are and shall remain the property of Lessee (Trade Fixtures) and
be treated as "trade fixtures" for the purposes of this Lease and Lessee shall
remove the same from the Leased Property at any time prior to the termination of
this Lease, and Lessee shall repair any damage to the Leased Property resulting
from such removal. Lessee may, at its own cost and expense, install or place or
reinstall or replace upon or remove from the Leased Property any such Trade
Fixtures. Any such Trade Fixtures shall not become the property of Lessor.
Replacements of fixtures, machinery and equipment which are property of the
Lessor shall be of at least equal quality to the replaced fixtures, machinery
and equipment as of the Commencement Date, reasonable wear and tear excepted.
Lessor agrees, at Lessee's expense, to confirm that it has no interest in, and
to waive any right to place a lien against, any Trade Fixtures.
-19-
12. Condemnation and Casualty.
-------------------------
(a) Lessee hereby assumes all risk of loss, damage or destruction, whether
(i) by fire or hazard or casualty, or the theft of all or any portion of the
Leased Property (a Casualty) or (ii) by taking, condemnation, seizure,
confiscation or requisition of use or title of all or any portion of the Leased
Property by any governmental body or authority or any Person legally vested with
such powers (a Taking; a Taking and a Casualty are each sometimes referred to as
a Destruction). Lessee hereby assigns to Lessor any award or insurance or other
payment to which Lessee may become entitled by reason of its interest in the
Leased Property (other than any award or insurance or other payment made to
Lessee specifically made for interruption of business, moving expenses or Trade
Fixtures; hereinafter referred to as Lessee's Loss), if the Leased Property, or
any portion thereof, is damaged, destroyed, lost or taken in a Taking or a
Casualty. If a Destruction with respect to the Leased Property occurs, the
Lessee shall give Lessor and Lessor's Mortgagee prompt written notice thereof,
and describe in reasonable detail in each case the circumstances of the Taking
or Casualty and the damage to or loss of the Leased Property. So long as no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and provided Lessee satisfies
the Credit Rating Test and the Restoration Test (defined in Section 12(c)
hereof) Lessee shall at its cost and expense, in the name and on behalf of the
Lessor, Lessee, Lessor's Mortgagee or otherwise, appear in any such proceeding
or other action, negotiate, accept and prosecute any claim for any award,
compensation, insurance proceeds or other payment on account of any such
Casualty or Taking and, subject to paragraph (b) below, cause each such award,
compensation, insurance proceeds or other payment to be paid to Lessor's
Mortgagee, if any, and otherwise, to Lessor. Lessee shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to achieve the maximum award or other recoveries obtainable
under the circumstances. Any negotiated awards, settlement or recoveries shall
be subject to Lessor's and Lessor's Mortgagee's prior written approval. Lessor
may appear in any such proceeding or other action in a manner consistent with
the foregoing and if an Event of Default then exists hereunder, the reasonable
costs and expenses of any such appearance shall be borne by Lessee and payable
to Lessor as Additional Rent. Lessee shall promptly inform Lessor of all
settlement offers. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or if
Lessee does not satisfy the Credit Rating Test or the Restoration Test, Lessor's
Mortgagee (or if there be none, Lessor) shall have the right at Lessee's cost to
negotiate, adjust and settle awards, settlements and recoveries without Lessee's
approval.
(b) If there shall be a Destruction affecting the Leased Property or any
part thereof, then Lessee shall give prompt written notice of such Destruction
to Lessor and Lessor's Mortgagee, including a description thereof in reasonable
detail. Thereafter, Lessee shall, at Lessee's own cost and expense, proceed with
diligence and promptness (i) to carry out any work necessary to make the Leased
Property safe and secure, and (ii) to restore, repair, replace, rebuild and/or
improve the Leased
-20-
Property in order to restore the Leased Property, as nearly as practicable, to a
condition not less than the condition required to be maintained hereunder
immediately prior to such Destruction. All construction work shall be undertaken
and completed in the same manner as if the same were a Minor Addition, but
subject to the reasonable requirements of Lessor's Mortgagee as provided for in
clause (ii) below, including, without limitation, review and approval of plans
and specifications to confirm consistency with the requirements of the Lease.
The foregoing obligations of Lessee so to restore, repair, replace and/or
rebuild the Leased Property shall not be applicable (but the foregoing
obligations of Lessee to make the Leased Property safe and secure shall be
applicable) if Lessor terminates the Lease pursuant to paragraph (c).
Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall not ▇▇▇▇▇ hereunder by reason of any
Destruction affecting the Leased Property, and this Lease shall continue in full
force and effect and Lessee shall continue to perform and fulfill all of
Lessee's obligations, covenants and agreements hereunder notwithstanding such
Destruction.
The Net Award (as defined in Appendix I) shall be applied to effect compliance
with Lessee's obligations hereunder. If the Net Award is less than the estimated
cost of restoring or rebuilding the Improvements to the condition required in
this paragraph (b) (as reasonably determined by Lessor at Lessee's expense),
then, unless such estimated cost is less than the Restoration Threshold Amount,
Lessee shall deposit the amount by which such estimated cost exceeds the Net
Award with the Depositary (as defined below) or shall post an equivalent bond or
other security reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Lessor and
Lessor's Mortgagee issued by a surety, bank or other Person satisfactory to
Lessor and Lessor's Mortgagee, whereupon such deposit or bonded amount shall be
part of the Net Award for purposes of paragraph (b) of this Article 12. If the
Net Award does not exceed $25,000 (the Restoration Threshold Amount, provided
that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Lessee
satisfies the Credit Rating Test, the Restoration Threshold Amount shall. be
$500,000) then the Net Award shall be promptly paid to Lessee to be applied to
the repair and rebuilding required by this paragraph (b). If the Net Award
exceeds the Restoration Threshold Amount then:
(i) the full amount thereof shall be paid to a depositary (the Depositary).
The Depositary shall be (a) Lessor's Mortgagee or its servicer, or (b) a bank or
trust company selected by Lessor and approved by Lessor's Mortgagee, and
reasonably satisfactory to Lessee, and which has an issuer credit rating
(hereafter, "credit rating") from S&P or ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ (or any successor to either
entity) of "A" or "A2", respectively, or better. The Depositary shall have no
affirmative obligation to prosecute a determination of the amount of, or to
effect the collection of, any insurance proceeds or condemnation award or
awards. Moneys so received by the Depositary shall be held by the Depositary in
trust separately for the uses and purposes provided in this Lease. To the extent
not available to be paid from the Net
-21-
Award, fees and expenses payable to the Depositary shall be paid by Lessee as
Additional Rent.
(ii) Payments of the Net Award for the actual costs and expenses
incurred by Lessee in connection with such repair and rebuilding shall be made
to Lessee by the Depositary after written notice to the Depositary, with a copy
to Lessor, setting forth in reasonable detail all of such costs and expenses
actually incurred by Lessee, provided that draws shall be made no more
frequently than on a monthly basis. Lessee shall comply with the reasonable
requirements of Lessor's Mortgagee, if any, with respect to the distribution of
any Net Award by the Depositary, including without limitation that Lessor's
Mortgagee shall have received applicable lien waivers, architect's certificates
and title insurance endorsements, and that no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing hereunder.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is any Destruction and either
(i) at the time of such Destruction, Guarantor has a credit rating from S&P of
"BB-" or better and, if the Credit Rating is BB- a watch position of neutral
or better (the "Credit Rating Test"), and the value of the Leased Property
immediately following such Destruction is less than 50% of its value immediately
prior to such Destruction, or (ii) at the time of such Destruction or at any
time thereafter until the Leased Property is restored pursuant to this Article
12, there shall be an Event of Default or any monetary default shall exist
(Lessee having no rights to an abatement or reduction of Basic Rent, Additional
Rent or other sums due hereunder), or (iii) Lessee fails to deliver to Lessor
within six months of the Destruction an architect's certificate satisfactory to
Lessor that restoration of the Leased Property is capable of being completed
with reasonable diligence by the Outside Restoration Date and such failure
continues for 20 days after Lessee's Actual knowledge or such failure, or (iv)
Lessor fails to complete such restoration by the Outside Restoration Date
(clauses (iii) and (iv) being referred to as the "Restoration Test") then, at
the option of Lessor, upon notice from Lessor of any such event which makes
specific reference to this Article 12(c) and the invocation of the offer
provisions hereinafter provided for, Lessor may require Lessee to make and
Lessee shall be deemed to have made an offer to purchase the Leased Property in
the manner and under the terms of Article 15 on the Installment Payment Date
first occurring thirty (30) days after Lessor's acceptance of such offer for a
purchase price equal to the Termination Value as of the date of purchase plus
the Reinvestment Premium, less in all events the Net Award actually received by
Lessor or Lessor's Mortgagee (and Lessor shall assign to Lessee any other Net
Award.) Lessor shall have sixty (60) days after such offer to accept or reject
it, and if it fails to act, it shall be deemed to have accepted such offer. No
rejection of such offer shall be effective unless consented to by Lessor's
Mortgagee. If Lessor rejects such offer, this Lease shall terminate on the
Installment Payment Date first occurring thirty (30) days after such rejection,
and the entire Net Award shall be retained by Lessor.
-22-
For purposes hereof, the "Outside Restoration Date" shall mean 18 months
after the Destruction, subject to extension by Lessor of not more than 90 days
to the extent that restoration is delayed due to acts of God, unavailability of
materials, strike, or further Destruction.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary contained in this
Article 12, in the event of a temporary condemnation, this Lease shall remain in
full force and effect (including without limitation the obligation of Lessee to
continue to pay Basic Rent and Additional Rent) and the Lessee shall be
obligated to continue to pay Basic Rent and Additional Rent and Lessee shall be
entitled to the Net Award allowable to such temporary condemnation; except that
any portion of the Net Award allocable to the time period after the expiration
or termination of the Term shall be paid to Lessor.

Lessor and Lessor's Mortgagee and shall be issued by the insurer.
-24-
All policies of property insurance provided for herein shall name the Lessor as
loss payee and Lessor's Mortgagee as loss payee, mortgagee and additional
insured, as its interest may appear, and all liability policies shall name the
Lessor and the Lessor's Mortgagee as additional insured, as their interests may
appear and the policies required under subparagraphs (i), (iv), and (v) above

insurance period or the due date for all premiums for the renewal of such
policies. All insurance policies and endorsements shall be for a term of not
less than one year and shall be fully prepaid and nonassessable. The Lessee
shall not obtain any separate or additional insurance which is contributing in
the event of loss unless the Lessor and the Lessor's Mortgagee are each insured
thereunder (as their interests may appear) and the policies therefor are
satisfactory to the Lessor and the Lessor's Mortgagee.
(b) Any Net Award arising out of a Destruction remaining after Lessee has
repaired and/or improved the Leased Property pursuant to paragraph (b) of
Article 12 shall be paid to Lessor.
(c) Every insurance policy maintained pursuant to this Lease shall (i)
provide that the issuer waives all rights of subrogation against Lessor, any
successor to Lessor's interests in the Leased Property and Lessor's Mortgagee;
and (ii) provide that 30 days' advance written notice of cancellation, material
modification, termination or lapse of coverage shall be given to Lessor and
Lessor's Mortgagee and that such insurance, as to the interest of Lessor and
Lessor's Mortgagee, shall not be invalidated by any foreclosure or any other
proceedings relating to the Leased Property, nor by any change in the title
ownership of the Leased Property, nor by use or occupation of the Leased
Property for purposes more hazardous than are permitted by such policy; and
(iii) be primary and without right or provision of contribution as to any other
insurance carried by Lessor or any other interested party; and (iv) in the event
any insuring company is not domiciled within the United States of America,
include a United States Service of Suit clause (providing any actions against
the insurer by the named insured or Lessor are conducted within the jurisdiction
of the United States of America). So long as each policy of insurance
-25-
complies with clause (i) above, Lessor and Lessee each waive all rights of
subrogation against the other, to the extent of applicable insurance coverage.
(d) Lessee shall comply with all of the terms and Conditions of each
insurance policy maintained pursuant to the terms of this Lease.
(e) If at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and
Lessor has not terminated this Lease as set forth in Article 20, or if at any
time the credit rating assigned to Lessee by S&P is "B" or less, (and if such
credit rating is raised from "B" to a higher level, until the next time real
estate taxes are payable with respect to the Leased Property), Lessee shall on
demand pay to Lessor or Lessor's Mortgagee on the same day of each month that
Basic Rent is due hereunder a monthly payment in such amount as Lessor or
Lessor's Mortgagee reasonably determines to be necessary to create and maintain
a reserve fund from which to pay before they become due all Taxes and
Impositions, and all premiums on insurance required to be maintained by Lessee
pursuant to Article 13 hereof (the "Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund"). All such
sums shall be held by Lessor or Lessor's Mortgagee free of trust and without
interest to Lessee, and may be commingled with other funds. Any excess reserve
shall be credited against subsequent reserve payments required hereunder, and
any deficiency shall be paid by Lessee upon demand, but in no event later than
five (5) days before the date when such Taxes and Impositions and insurance
premiums shall become delinquent. To the extent that adequate funds for Taxes
and Impositions have been paid to create a reserve fund, Lessor shall, on not
less than 15 days' written request of Lessee, cause the same to be applied to
Taxes and Impositions payable by Lessee hereunder.
Any unapplied portion of the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund shall be
returned to Lessee within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Term or
termination of this Lease, provided there exists no breach of any undertaking of
Lessee, it being agreed that this provision shall survive termination of this
Lease. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default by Lessee hereunder, Lessee
agrees that Lessor may apply all or any portion of the Tax and Insurance Reserve
Fund to any obligation of Lessee hereunder. If all or any portion of the Tax and
Insurance Reserve Fund is applied to any obligation of Lessee hereunder, Lessee
shall immediately upon request of Lessor restore the Tax and Insurance Reserve
Fund to its original amount. Lessee shall not have the right to call upon Lessor
to apply all or any portion of the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund to cure any
default or fulfill, any obligation of Lessee hereunder, but such use shall be
solely in the discretion of Lessor. Upon any conveyance of the Leased Property
by Lessor, the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund shall be delivered by Lessor to
Lessor's transferee, and upon such delivery, Lessee releases Lessor herein
named of any and all liability with respect to the fund, its application and
return, and Lessee agrees to look solely to such transferee with respect
thereto. The provisions of the previous sentence shall also apply to subsequent
transferees.

appropriate, all in reasonable detail and satisfactory in scope to Lessor and
Lessor's Mortgagee, and certified to Guarantor as to the annual consolidated

conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and the
application of such tests as said accountants deem necessary under the
circumstances; and

exercise its rights and remedies under Article 20 and (b) Lessor, Lessor's
Mortgagee, or their agents may enter upon and inspect the Leased Property,
during normal business hours after 24-hours' written notice. So long as no Event
of Default exists hereunder, a representative of Lessee shall be permitted to be

(ii) Each sublease or assignment shall expressly be made subject to
the provisions hereof.
(b) No such sublease or assignment shall affect or reduce any obligations
of Lessee or any Guarantor, or the rights of Lessor hereunder, and all
obligations of Lessee hereunder shall continue in full effect as the obligations
of a principal and not of a guarantor or surety, as though no subletting or
assignment had been made.
(c) Lessee shall, at least 10 days prior to the execution of any such

thereby be deemed to have waived any default or released Lessee from any
obligation hereunder. Amounts so paid by Lessor and all incidental costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred in

Lease or any Guaranty or any certificate or writing tendered in connection with
the execution and delivery of this Lease; or
(x) Lessee or Guarantor fails to comply with the provisions of any
agreement of indemnification made hereunder or in connection with this Lease and
such failure continues for ten (10) days after notice; or

(b) This Lease and the term and estate hereby granted are subject to the
limitation that whenever an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, Lessor may, at Lessor's option, elect to (i) re-enter the Leased
Property, without notice, and remove all Persons and property therefrom, either
by summary proceedings or by any suitable action or proceeding at law, or
otherwise, without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefor,
and may have, hold and enjoy the Leased Property, together with the
appurtenances thereto and the improvements thereon; and/or (ii) terminate this
Lease at any time by giving notice in writing to Lessee, electing to terminate
this Lease and specifying the date of termination, and the Term of this Lease
shall expire by limitation at midnight on the date specified in such notice as
fully and completely as if said date were the date originally fixed for the
expiration of the Term, and Lessee shall thereupon quit and peacefully surrender
the Leased Property to Lessor, without any payment therefor by Lessor.
(c) In case of any such re-entry, termination and/or dispossession as
provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, (i) the Basic Rent and
Additional Rent shall become due thereupon and be paid up to the time of such
re-entry, dispossession and/or termination, together with such expenses,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, as Lessor shall incur in connection with
such re-entry, termination and/or dispossession; and (ii) Lessor may in good
faith relet the Leased Property or any part thereof (but shall be under no
obligation to do so, except to the extent required by law) for its sole account
without any duty to account therefor to Lessee, either in the name of Lessor or
otherwise, for a term or terms which may, at Lessor's option, be equal to or
less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the
balance of the Term; (iii) Lessee shall also pay to Lessor the amount by which
the Basic Rent exceeds the net amount, if any, of the rents collected on account
of the leases of the Leased Property for each monthly period which would
otherwise have constituted the Term, which amounts shall be paid in monthly
installments by Lessee on the respective Installment Payment Dates specified
therefor,
-32-
and any suit brought to collect said amounts for any period shall not prejudice
in any way the rights of Lessor to collect the deficiency in any subsequent
period by a similar action or proceeding; (iv) Lessee shall also pay to Lessor
all other damages and expenses which Lessor shall reasonably have sustained by
reason of the breach of any provision of this Lease, including without
limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, brokerage commissions and
expenses incurred in altering, repairing and putting the Leased Property in
good order and condition and in preparing the same for reletting, which expenses
shall be paid by Lessee as they are incurred by Lessor; and (v) at the option
of Lessor exercised at any time, Lessor forthwith shall be entitled to recover
from Lessee as liquidated damages, in addition to any other proper claims but in
lieu of and not in addition to any amount which would thereafter have become
payable under the preceding clause (iii), the Termination Value for the date on
which Lessor demands such payment together with the Reinvestment Premium less
the present value (using a discount rate of 8% per annum) of the fair market
rental value of the Leased Property for the remainder of the Term. In
calculating the rent reserved for the residue of the Term, there shall be
included, in addition to the Basic Rent, all Additional Rent and the value of
all other consideration agreed to be paid or performed by Lessee for said
residue. Lessor, at Lessor's option, may make such alterations or decorations in
the Leased Property as Lessor, in Lessor's sole judgment, considers advisable
and necessary for the purpose of reletting the Leased Property; and the making
of such alterations or decorations shall not operate or be construed to release
Lessee from liability hereunder as aforesaid.
(d) No receipt of moneys by Lessor from Lessee after a termination of this
Lease by Lessor shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term of this Lease or
affect any notice theretofore given to Lessee, or operate as a waiver of the
right of Lessor to enforce the payment of Basic Rent and Additional Rent, and
any Termination Value or related amounts to be paid by Lessee to Lessor for the
purchase of the Leased Property then due or thereafter falling due, it being
agreed that after the commencement of suit for possession of the Leased
Property, or after final order or judgment for the possession of the Leased
Property, Lessor may demand, receive and collect any moneys due or thereafter
falling due without in any manner affecting such suit, order or judgment, all
such moneys collected being deemed payments on account of the use and occupation
of the Leased Property or, at the election of Lessor, on account of Lessee's
liability hereunder. Lessee hereby waives any and all rights of redemption
provided by any law, statute or ordinance now in effect or which may hereafter
be enacted.
(e) The word "re-enter", as used in this Lease, shall not be restricted to
its technical legal meaning, but is used in the broadest sense. No such taking
of possession of the Leased Property by Lessor shall constitute an election to
terminate the Term of this Lease unless notice of such intention be given to
Lessee or unless such termination be decreed by a court.
-33-
(f) If an action shall be brought by either party for the enforcement of
any provision of this Lease, the prevailing party shall pay to the other party
all reasonable costs and other expenses incurred by the prevailing party as a
result thereof, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses.
(g) No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Lessor is
intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and
remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other legal or equitable right
or remedy given hereunder, or at any time existing. The failure of Lessor or
Lessee to insist upon the strict performance of any provision or to exercise any
option, right, power or remedy contained in this Lease shall not be construed as
a waiver or a relinquishment thereof for the future. Receipt by Lessor of any
Basic Rent or Additional Rent or any other sum payable hereunder with knowledge
of the breach of any provision contained in this Lease shall not constitute a
waiver of such breach. No waiver by Lessor or Lessee of any provision of this
Lease shall be deemed to have been made unless made under signature of an
authorized representative of such party.
21. Granting of Easements, Etc. If no Event of Default has occurred and is
--------------------------
continuing, Lessee may from time to time in writing request Lessor to join with
Lessee (at Lessee's cost and expense), to (i) grant easements, licenses, rights
of way and other rights and privileges in the nature of easements for the
purposes of providing utilities and the like to the Leased Property, (ii)
release existing easements and appurtenances relating to the provision of
utilities and the like to the Leased Property and (iii) execute and deliver any
instrument, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lessor, necessary or
appropriate to make or confirm such grants or releases to any Person, with or
without consideration; provided that an Executive Officer of Lessee shall have
certified to Lessor and Lessor's Mortgagee that such grant or release does not
materially interfere with and is not materially detrimental to the conduct of
business on the Leased Property and does not impair the usefulness or fair
market value of the Leased Property, and was made for no or only nominal
consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor and/or Lessor's Mortgagee
may condition its consent to such action on being provided evidence satisfactory
to each in its sole discretion that such action presents no material risk of
liability, expense or adverse tax consequences to Lessor, Lessor's Mortgagee or
the holder of any CMBS. Lessee shall pay as Additional Rent to Lessor on demand
all reasonable costs and expenses of Lessor and Lessor's Mortgagee (including
attorneys' fees) in reviewing or executing any instrument pursuant to this
Article 21.
22. Intentionally Omitted/Not Applicable.
------------------------------------
23. Rent Reset. In accordance with and subject to the provisions of this
----------
Section 23, Lessor and Lessee agree to (a) amend the Basic Rent payable
hereunder from and after a date which is on or before the Year 10 Expiration
Date (defined in Schedule B)
-34-
(the Basic Rent as so amended shall be hereinafter referred to as the Reset
Rent), and (b) execute and deliver a Rent Reset Lease Amendment (hereinafter
defined), both no later than the dates specified in subparagraphs (d) or (f)
below, as applicable (the Rent Reset).
(a) The Reset Rent payable by Lessee to Lessor from and after the effective
date of the Rent Reset provided for in subparagraphs (d) or (f) below, as
applicable, shall equal the sum of (i) the Fixed Amount (hereinafter defined),
plus (ii) the Variable Amount (hereinafter defined).
For purposes of this Section 23, the "Fixed Amount" shall equal
$29,753.00 per month and the "Variable Amount" shall equal an amount per month
for the remainder of the Basic Term from the effective date of the Rent Reset
sufficient to amortize the sum of (x) $6,611,388.00 and (y) Lessor's estimate of
the Closing Costs (defined in Section 23(g)) (the sum of (x) and (y) being
referred to herein as the "Reset Amount") together with imputed interest on such
Reset Amount at the Imputed Interest Rate (hereinafter defined) over an
amortization period of 22 years. The "Imputed Interest Rate" used to calculate
the Variable Amount portion of the Reset Rent shall reflect the actual or
imputed interest rate at which Lessor is able to borrow the Reset Amount (as
provided for in subparagraphs (b) and (c) below) from an Institutional Investor
(defined in Appendix I) (such interest rate is hereafter referred to as the
Lessor's Rate) pursuant to a non-recourse loan secured solely by a first
mortgage encumbering the Leased Property together with a collateral assignment
of this Lease, taking into account the creditworthiness of Lessee and Guarantor
and the terms and conditions contained in this Lease.
(b) No sooner than 240 days and no later than 180 days prior to the Year 10
Expiration Date, Lessor will specify in writing to Lessee (a Lessor's Year 10
Notice) the proposed Lessor's Rate, which shall be based upon a firm written
commitment for financing (a Lessor's Loan) actually obtained by Lessor from an
Institutional Investor (a Lessor's Loan Commitment), or if no such Lessor's Loan
Commitment has been obtained, upon Lessor's determination as to what would have
been Lessor's Rate had Lessee obtained such a firm written commitment, provided,
--------
however, that if, in Lessor's judgment, no loan from an Institutional Investor
-------
on the terms specified in subparagraph (a) is or would be available, whether due
to the creditworthiness of Lessee and Guarantor, the conditions of the capital
markets generally, or any other matter not within Lessor's control, Lessor shall
so specify in its Year 10 Lessor's Notice and the provisions of subparagraph (e)
below shall apply. If the Lessor's Rate specified in Lessor's Year 10 Notice is
based upon a Lessor's Loan Commitment, Lessor's Year 10 Notice shall also
specify any commitment fees, rate lock fees and the like payable in connection
with such Lessor's Loan Commitment (Lessor Loan Commitment Fees).
-35-
(c) If Lessor specifies a Lessor's Rate in its Lessor's Year 10 Notice,
Lessee shall, within 45 days of Lessor's Year 10 Notice, notify Lessor that it
either (i) accepts the Lessor's Rate so specified (subject to any change in such
rate which occurs until any applicable rate lock or other Lessor Loan
Commitment Fees necessary to fix the rate are paid by Lessee), and if such
Lessor's Rate is based upon a Lessor's Loan Commitment, such acceptance shall be
effective only if Lessee shall simultaneously pay any Lessor Loan Commitment
Fees with such acceptance (which Lessor Loan Commitment fees shall be
reimbursed to Lessee at the closing of the Lessor's Loan or if the Lessor's Loan
fails to close due to the default of Lessor), or (ii) notify Lessor that it is
not satisfied with the Lessor's Rate so specified, in which event Lessee will
have the right to cause Lessor to use when calculating the Variable Amount of
the Reset Rent a rate of interest (Lessee's Rate) specified in a firm written
commitment from an Institutional Investor addressed to Lessor and obtained by
Lessee no later than 90 days prior to the Year 10 Expiration Date at Lessee's
sole cost and expense to provide financing (Lessee's Loan) in the amount of the
Reset Amount (which may be modified by Lessee to the extent Lessee's estimate of
Closing Costs is different from Lessor's, or if Lessee chooses not to finance
Closing Costs), provided that (i) the terms of the Lessee's Loan are at least as
favorable to Lessor as those provided for in subparagraph (b) and are subject
only to commercially customary conditions to close (the cost of satisfaction and
attempted satisfaction of which shall be the responsibility of Lessee as
Additional Rent hereunder) and (ii) the Lessee Loan is without recourse to
Lessor (the Lessee's Loan Commitment). (If Lessee fails to make an effective
election pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, it shall be deemed to
have selected option (i)). If Lessee provides Lessor with a Lessee's Loan
Commitment no later than 90 days prior to the Year 10 Expiration Date, Lessor
will have the option either to (i) reject the Lessee's Loan Commitment but apply
Lessee's Rate in establishing the Variable Amount of the Reset Rent or (ii)
accept the Lessee's Loan Commitment, use reasonable efforts at Lessee's expense
to close the loan described therein and, if the loan closes, apply the Lessee's
Rate in calculating the Variable Amount of the Reset Rent.
(d) On or before the date which is the earlier of (i) the date a Lessor's
Loan or Lessee's Loan actually closes, or (ii) the date which is 30 days prior
to the Year 10 Expiration Date (the Outside Date), Lessor and Lessee shall
execute and deliver an amendment of this Lease (Rent Reset Lease Amendment)
confirming the Basic Rent payable after the earlier to occur of the date a
Lessor's Loan or a Lessee's Loan actually closes or the Year 10 Expiration Date,
and establishing Termination Values which shall be equal to the sum from time to
time of (x) $3,129,060.00, plus (y) the outstanding principal balance from time
to time of Lessor's Loan or Lessee's Loan, as the case may be for the period
from the Year 10 Expiration Date to the Year 20 Expiration Date. Subject to
subparagraph (f) below, if for any reason, including without limitation a
dispute between Lessor and Lessee as to the proper calculation of the Reset
Rent, the Rent Reset Amendment is not entered into by such date, the provisions
of subparagraph (e) below shall apply.
-36-
(e) If in any Year 10 Lessor's Notice Lessor states that it cannot state a
Lessor's Rate, or if Lessee rejects the Lessor's Rate proposed by Lessor, and in
either case Lessee does not obtain a Lessee's Loan Commitment by the date which
is 90 days prior to the Year 10 Expiration Date, Lessee shall have the option to
do one of the following, such option to be exercised by written notice to Lessor
no later than 90 days prior to the Year 10 Expiration Date, and if it fails to
elect either option by such date, it shall be deemed to have elected option 2
below. Further, if a Rent Reset Lease Amendment is not entered into by the date
required by subparagraph (d) above, Lessee shall, no later than 10 days after
such date elect one of the two options described below, and if it fails to elect
either option by such date it shall be deemed to have elected option 2 below.
1. On the Year 10 Expiration Date, Lessee shall be obligated to make a
final rent payment to Lessor in the amount of the Reset Amount included in
Lessor's Year 10 Notice, and the Lease term shall expire on the Year 10
Expiration Date without any right of renewal, as if the Year 10 Expiration Date
were the originally scheduled expiration date of the term of this Lease; or
2. On the Year 10 Expiration Date, Lessee shall be obligated to make a
Basic Rent payment to Lessor in the amount of the Reset Amount included in
Lessor's Year 10 Notice, Basic Rent payable after the Year 10 Expiration Date,
until the Year 20 Expiration Date (defined in Schedule B), shall be the Fixed
Amount per month, and Termination Values shall be established for the period
from the Year 10 Expiration Date to the Year 20 Expiration Date which shall
always be equal to $3,129,060.00.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the
Variable Amount is based upon a Lessor's Loan Commitment or a Lessee's Loan
Commitment, and the loan described in such commitment fails to close by the
Outside Date for any reason other than the intentional default of Lessor
hereunder, the Variable Amount shall be established based upon a Lessor's Year
10 Notice given promptly after the earlier of (i) the Outside Date and (ii) the
expiration or termination of the applicable loan commitment, which notice shall
specify a Lessor's Rate, and if Lessee is not satisfied with the Lessor's Rate
specified in such Year 10 Notice or if such Notice specifies that Lessor is
unable to establish a Lessor's Rate, the provisions of subparagraph (e) above
shall apply, provided that if the Lessor's Year 10 Notice given under this
subparagraph (f) is given less than 90 days prior to the Year 10 Expiration
Date, Lessee shall have 10 days to elect which of the two options specified in
subparagraph (e) shall govern (and if it fails to so elect, it shall be deemed
to have elected option 2 under subparagraph (e)), and the Rent Reset Amendment
described in subparagraph (e) shall be entered into no later than the later of
10 days after Lessee's election or deemed election of such option, or the date
which is 30 days prior to the Year 10 Expiration Date.
-37-
(g) Subject to the provisions of this subsection (g), Lessee shall be
responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in closing or
attempting to close any loan pursuant to this Article 23, in arranging for the
repayment of any existing indebtedness which is paid off in connection with a
Rent Reset (other than any prepayment premiums or penalties, which shall not be
the responsibility of Lessee), and in Lessor's Performance of its obligations
under this Section 23, including, without limitation, legal, accounting,
mortgage brokerage, due diligence, title, and advisors' fees, expenses and
premiums, and financing fees, origination fees, rate lock fees and the like
payable under any Lessor's Loan Commitment which is the basis for a Lessor's
Rate accepted or deemed accepted by Lessee, or any Lessee's Loan Commitment
("Closing Costs"). Lessor shall include its estimate of Closing Costs in the
Reset Amount for the purposes of its Lessor's Year 10 Notice, which estimate
shall be binding upon Lessor if Lessee accepts the Lessor's Rate specified in
Lessor's Year 10 Notice. If Lessee arranges for a Lessee's Loan, it may include
in the Reset Amount its estimate of such Closing Costs, but Lessee shall in
all events be responsible for all Closing Costs, and to the extent the proceeds
of Lessee's Loan are not available to pay all Closing Costs, the same shall be
payable promptly when due as Additional Rent by Lessee.
24. Notices. All communications herein provided for or made pursuant hereto

Lessor's Mortgagee at such address a copy of any notice given by Lessee to
Lessor. No notice by Lessee to Lessor pursuant to the provisions of this Lease
shall be deemed effective unless and until such notice is also so delivered to
such Lessor's Mortgagee; and no notice by Lessor to Lessee pursuant to the
provisions of this Lease shall be deemed effective unless and until such notice
is joined in or consented to in writing by Lessor's Mortgagee. Either party, and
Lessor's Mortgagee, may change the address where notices are to be sent by
giving the other party (or parties) and Lessor's Mortgagee ten (10) days' prior
written notice of such change.
-38-

against enforcement of the obligations to be performed hereunder existing in

possession of the Leased Property or setting forth the parties in possession and
identifying the instruments pursuant to which they took possession; and (f)
stating such other information with respect to the Leased Property and/or this
Lease as may be reasonably requested.
26. No Merger. Lessee agrees that there shall be no merger of this Lease or of
---------
any sublease under this Lease or of any leasehold or subleasehold estate hereby
or thereby created with the fee or any other estate or ownership interest in the
Leased Property or any part thereof by reason of the fact that the same entity
may acquire or own or hold, directly or indirectly, (a) this Lease or any
sublease or any leasehold or subleasehold estate created hereby or thereby or
any interest in this Lease or any such sublease or in any such leasehold or
subleasehold estate and (b) the fee estate or other estate or ownership interest
in the Leased Property or any part thereof.
27. Surrender.
---------

added to as required by or permitted by any provision of this Lease (ordinary
wear and tear and the consequences of any Destruction resulting in the
termination of this Lease pursuant to paragraph (c) of Article 12 hereof, and
damages caused by Lessor excepted). Lessee shall remove from the Leased Property
on or prior to such expiration or earlier termination all property situated
thereon which is not the property of Lessor, and shall repair any damage caused
by such removal. Property not so removed shall become the property of Lessor,
and Lessor may cause such property to be removed from the Leased Property and
disposed of, and Lessee shall pay the cost of any such removal and disposition
and of repairing any damage caused by such removal.
-39-
(b) Except for surrender upon the expiration or earlier termination of the
Term hereof, no surrender to Lessor of this Lease or of the Leased Property
shall be valid or effective unless agreed to and accepted in writing by Lessor.
28. Separability. Each provision contained in this Lease shall be separate and
------------
independent and the breach of any such provision by Lessor shall not discharge
or relieve Lessee from its obligation to perform each obligation of this Lease
to be performed by Lessee. If any provision of this Lease or the application
thereof to any Person or circumstance shall to any extent be invalid and
unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such provision
to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or
unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each provision of this Lease
shall be valid and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.
29. Signs; Showing. During the three-month period preceding the date on which
--------------
the then current Term of this Lease shall expire, Lessor may (a) place signs in
reasonable locations on the grounds in front of the Leased Property advertising

twenty-four (24) hours notice to Lessee, show the Leased Property to prospective

limitation, releases and instruments of similar character, which shall be
reasonably requested by Lessor or Lessee as being necessary or appropriate in
order to protect their respective interests in the Leased Property.
32. Miscellaneous. This Lease shall be binding upon and shall inure to the
-------------
benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereunder. Concurrently with the execution and

Lessor's Mortgagee an opinion of counsel to Lessee, satisfactory in form and
substance to Lessor and Lessor's Mortgagee, as to the due authorization,
execution and delivery of this Lease by Lessee and the validity, binding effect
and enforceability as to Lessee of this Lease and such other matters relating to
Lessee and this Lease as Lessor or Lessor's Mortgagee may reasonably request.
This Lease may not be amended, changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally,
but only by an instrument specifically evidencing an intent to amend signed by
the party against whom enforcement thereof
-40-
is sought. No failure, delay, forbearance or indulgence on the part of any party
in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, or as an acquiescence in any breach, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. This
Lease and the rights and obligations in respect hereof shall be governed by, and
construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the state within which
the Leased Property is located. All headings are for reference only and shall
