Subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, on the Acquisition Date for each Property other than a Construction Property (i) the Lessor shall purchase a fee interest in such Property (except in the case of the assets listed on Annex 1, which the Lessor previously purchased pursuant to the Existing Transaction Documents) and (ii) the Lessor shall demise and lease to the Lessee hereunder for the Lease Term applicable

thereto such Property, and the Lessee hereby agrees to lease from the Lessor for such Lease Term, such Property.

(b) Construction Properties. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, on the Acquisition Date for each Construction Property (i) the Lessor shall purchase a fee interest in the relevant parcel of Land, or the Lessee shall convey a ground leasehold interest in such parcel of Land to the Lessor pursuant to a Ground Lease, and (ii) the Lessor shall demise and lease to the Lessee hereunder for the Lease Term applicable thereto the Lessor's interest in such Land together with any Improvements which then may be located thereon or thereafter may be constructed thereon pursuant to the Construction Agency Agreement or this Lease, and the Lessee hereby agrees to lease from the Lessor for such Lease Term, the Lessor's interest in such Land together with the Lessor's interest in such Improvements.

2.2. Acceptance Procedure.

2.3. Lease Term. This Lease shall be in full force and effect on the Closing Date.

(f) The Advance to be made on the Acquisition Date of the Leased Assets described on Lease Supplement No. 1 and Lease Supplement No. 2 shall initially bear interest by reference to the Base Rate, and three Business Days thereafter, such Advance shall bear interest by reference to Reserve Adjusted LIBOR with an interest period ending on the Monthly Date occurring in May 2002.

3.3. Funding Debt Contribution with Loans. The Lessee and Lessor acknowledge and agree that the Relevant Percentage of each Advance made by Lessor hereunder in respect of the Property described on the Lease Supplement No. 1 and Lease Supplement No. 2 shall be funded with the proceeds of Loans borrowed by the Lessor under the Loan Agreement and that a component of Base Rent is allocable to the Debt Contribution funded with such Loans.

Neither the Lessee nor any of its Subsidiaries has any Contingent Obligations or other outstanding obligations (other than taxes) which are material in the aggregate, except as disclosed or reflected in the Financial Statements delivered to Lessor and the Collateral Agent on or prior to the date hereof or pursuant to Section 32. Since September 30, 2001, no Material Adverse Effect has occurred and no event has occurred or condition exists which is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(e) Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Lessee, threatened (i) that are reasonably likely to be adversely determined and if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) that question the validity or enforceability of the Operative Documents or the rights to remedies of the parties thereunder.

(f) Governmental Actions. No Governmental Action by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Lessee or any Leased Asset is required to authorize or is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Lessee of any Operative Document to which it is a party other than filings or recordings required to be made in connection with the Security Documents.

(i) Provided Information. The certificates, statements, information and materials which have been provided by the Lessee or any Affiliate of the Lessee to the Lessor in connection with the Operative Documents or any of the transactions contemplated thereby are true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information and materials are dated or certified and are not incomplete by omitting to state any fact necessary to make such information (taken as a whole) not misleading at such time in light of the circumstances under which such information was provided.

(j) Taxes. All United States Federal income tax returns and all other tax returns which are required to have been filed by Lessee have been or will be filed by or on behalf of the Lessee by the respective due dates, including extensions, and all taxes due with respect to the Lessee shown on such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Lessee have been or will be paid or are being contested in good faith by the Lessee by appropriate procedures. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Lessee in respect of taxes or other governmental charges have been made in accordance with GAAP.

(k) Compliance with Laws. The Lessee is in compliance with all Applicable Laws other than those the non-compliance with which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(l) Properties. Each Property (as improved in accordance with the Plans and Specifications for such Property, in the case of a Construction Property) and the contemplated use thereof by the Lessee and its agents, assignees, employees, lessees, licensees and tenants will comply in all material respects with all Requirements of Law (including, without limitation, all zoning and land use laws) and Insurance Requirements, except for such Requirements of Law as the Lessee shall be contesting in accordance with Section 16.1. All water, sewer, electric, gas, waste treatment, telephone and drainage facilities and all other utilities required to service adequately the Improvements on each Property for its intended use are currently available and related services have been established or, in the case of a Construction Property, will be available and established upon the Substantial Completion thereof, pursuant to, and in accordance with, all necessary permits and approvals (including any that may be required under applicable Environmental Laws). All such utilities serving each Property are located in, and vehicular access to the Improvements on such Property is provided by, either public rights-of-way abutting such Property or Appurtenant Rights. There is no action, suit or proceeding (including any proceeding in condemnation or eminent domain or under any Environmental Law) pending or, to the best of the Lessee's knowledge, threatened with respect to the Lessee, its Affiliates or such Leased Asset, that is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the title to, or the use, operation or value of, such Leased Asset. No fire or other casualty with respect to any Property has occurred which fire or other casualty has had a material adverse effect on the value, condition or utility of such Property. All Governmental Actions, easements and rights-of-way required for (x) the use, operation and occupancy of each Property and (y) the use, treatment, storage, transport, disposal or disposition of any Hazardous Substance on, at, under or from each Property have either been obtained from the appropriate Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction or from private parties, as the case may be, or will be obtained from the appropriate Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction or from private parties, as the case may be, at or before the time required by all Requirements of Law. Except as otherwise identified on the survey delivered pursuant to Section 4.2(b), no portion of any Property is located in an area identified as a special flood hazard area by the Federal Emergency Management Agency or other applicable agency. If any Property is located in such an area, then flood insurance has been obtained for such Property in accordance with Section 17.2 and in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended.

(m) Construction Properties. Each Prime Construction Contract for a Construction Property provides for the Construction of the Improvements described on the Plans and Specifications for such Construction Property, upon the Land described in the Deed or Ground Lease for such Construction Property for a fixed price or a guaranteed maximum price on or before the expiration of the Construction Period for such Construction Property, and contains a retainage provision withholding an amount not less than ten percent (10%) of the fixed or guaranteed maximum price to be paid by Construction Agent thereunder until the satisfactory completion of the services to be provided by the Prime Contractor thereunder. All Governmental Actions (including building, demolition and environmental permits), easements and rights-of-way required for the Construction of the Improvements on any Construction Property in accordance with the Plans and Specifications therefor and the Construction Agency Agreement have either been obtained from the appropriate Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction or from private parties, as the case may be, or will be obtained from the appropriate Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction or from private parties, as the case may be, at or before the time required by all Requirements of Law and otherwise in a manner so as not to impede the Substantial Completion of such Construction on or before the expiration of the Construction Period for such Construction Property.

(n) Title; Ground Lease. The Lessor will at all times during the Lease Term have fee simple title to all Land (or a valid leasehold interest, in the case of a Ground Lease), together with all Improvements (if covered by the applicable Lease Supplement), subject only to Permitted Liens. Each Deed, if any, is in form and substance sufficient to convey to the Lessor good and

marketable title to the applicable Property subject only to Permitted Liens. Each Ground Lease, if any, is in form and substance sufficient to convey a valid leasehold interest in the applicable Land.

(o) Insurance. The Lessee carries insurance with reputable insurers in respect of its material assets, in such manner, in such amounts and against such risks as is customarily maintained by other Persons of similar size engaged in similar business; provided that Lessee self-insures for workers' compensation insurance and does not carry earthquake insurance.

(p) Defaults. The Lessee is not in default under (and no event has occurred which with the giving of notice or lapse of time would result in a default under) any instrument evidencing any debt or any agreement relating thereto or any mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement, lease, franchise or other agreement to which the Lessee is a party or by which the Lessee or any of its properties or assets is bound or to which it may be subject, except to the extent that any such default could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(q) Use of Advances. All Advances have been used solely for the purposes set forth in Section 3.2(c) and no part of any Advance has been used directly or indirectly for any other purpose including the purchasing or carrying, or for payment in full or in part of debt that was incurred for the purposes of purchasing or carrying, any margin security as such term is defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

(r) Solvency. The Lessee is Solvent.

(s) Employee Benefit Plans.

(i) Based on the latest valuation of each Employee Benefit Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA that the Lessee or any ERISA Affiliate maintains or contributes to, or has any obligation under (which occurred within twelve months of the date of this representation), the aggregate benefit liabilities of such plan within the meaning of Section 4001 of ERISA did not exceed the aggregate value of the assets of such plan. Neither the Lessee nor any ERISA Affiliate has any liability with respect to any post-retirement health benefit under any Employee Benefit Plan which is a welfare plan (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA), other than liability for continuation coverage described in Part 6 of Title I(B) of ERISA, which liability for health plan contribution coverage is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(ii) Each Employee Benefit Plan complies, in both form and operation, in all material respects, with its terms, ERISA and the Code, and no condition exists or event has occurred with respect to any such plan which would result in the incurrence by the Lessee or any ERISA Affiliate of any material liability, fine or penalty. To the knowledge of Lessee, no Employee Benefit Plan is being audited or investigated by any government agency or is subject to any pending or threatened claim or suit. To the knowledge of Lessee, neither the Lessee nor any ERISA Affiliate nor any fiduciary of any Employee Benefit Plan has engaged in a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code which is not otherwise exempt under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. The execution and delivery of the Operative Documents and performance by Lessee of the transactions contemplated thereby do not constitute a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code which is not otherwise exempt under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

(iii) Neither the Lessee nor any ERISA Affiliate contributes to or has any material contingent obligations to any Multiemployer Plan. Neither the Lessee nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any material liability (including secondary liability) to any Multiemployer Plan as a result of a complete or partial withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan under Section 4201 of ERISA or as a result of a sale of assets described in Section 4204 of ERISA. Neither the

Lessee nor any ERISA Affiliate has been notified that any Multiemployer Plan is in reorganization or insolvent under and within the meaning of Section 4241 or Section 4245 of ERISA or that any Multiemployer Plan intends to terminate or has been terminated under Section 4041A of ERISA.

(t) Environmental Laws. The Lessee is in compliance with all Environmental Laws in all jurisdictions in which all real property of the Lessee, including all Land, is located, other than those the non-compliance with which would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(u) Absence of Burdensome Restrictions. No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation, in each case that is in effect on the date hereof and applicable to the Lessee or any of its Subsidiaries, is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(v) Obligations. The obligations of the Lessee hereunder and under the other Operative Documents to which it is a party rank at least pari passu in right of payment with all other unsecured and unsubordinated Indebtedness of the Lessee.

6.3. Representations of the Lessee with Respect to Each Advance. The Lessee represents and warrants to the Lessor as of each Funding Date as follows:

(a) Representations. The representations and warranties of the Lessee set forth in the Operative Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of such Funding Date, except to the extent such representations or warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct on and as of such earlier date.

(b) No Default. There exists no Default or Event of Default and no Default or Event of Default will occur as a result of, or after giving effect to, the Advance requested by the Funding Request on such Funding Date.

(c) Improvements. In the case of a Funding Date for any Construction Property, (i) the Construction of the Improvements to such Construction Property to date, if any, has been performed in a good and workmanlike manner, substantially in accordance with the Plans and Specifications for such Construction Property and in compliance with all material Insurance Requirements and Requirements of Law, (ii) all necessary Governmental Approvals have been obtained for all of such items of Construction completed in respect of such Construction Property, (iii) each item of Construction completed to date and which is the subject of the Advance requested by the Lessee on such Funding Date has been completed in a manner and on or before a date that will not impede or prevent the completion of Construction of the Improvements on or before the Outside Completion Date for such Property, and (iv) after giving effect to the Advance to be made on such Funding Date, on the basis of the actual progress of the Construction on such Funding Date, the unused portion of the Lessor Commitment for such Construction Property is sufficient to pay for all remaining Estimated Improvements Costs set forth in the Budget necessary to achieve Substantial Completion of the Improvements.

(d) Liens. The Lessee has not permitted Liens to be placed against any Leased Asset (other than Permitted Liens).

(e) Advance. The conditions precedent to such Advance set forth in Article IV have been satisfied by the Lessee or waived by the Lessor, with the consent of the Majority Lenders. In the case of an Advance with respect to any Leased Asset other than a Construction Property, the amount of the Advance requested represents amounts owed to third parties in respect of the Property Acquisition Costs of such Leased Asset. In the case of an Advance with respect to a Construction Property, the amount of the Advance requested represents amounts owed to third parties in respect of Land Acquisition Costs or owed or paid by the Construction Agent to third

parties in respect of Property Improvements Costs, in each case incurred prior to the date of such Advance and for which neither the Lessee nor the Construction Agent has previously been reimbursed by an Advance, provided that this representation shall not apply to any portion of an Advance made on Substantial Completion which is to be used to pay for open punch list items or other holdbacks. With respect to any portion of an Advance made on Substantial Completion which is to be used to pay for open punch list items or other holdbacks, the Lessee represents that such portion will be used for such purpose to the extent that a contractor is entitled thereto and that neither the Lessee nor the Construction Agent has previously been reimbursed therefor by an Advance.

ARTICLE VII

PAYMENT OF RENT; FEES

7.1. Rent. The Lessee shall pay Base Rent in arrears on each Leased Asset on each Payment Date during the Lease Term for such Leased Asset, on the date required under Section 24.1(i) in connection with the Lessee's exercise of the Termination Option and on any date on which this Lease shall terminate. In addition, if all or any portion of the Lease Balance of any Leased Asset is paid on any date other than a Payment Date, then the Lessee shall also pay Base Rent on such Leased Asset on such date in an amount equal to the accrued Base Rent on the Lease Balance so paid to the date of such payment. Base Rent for each Leased Asset shall be calculated as provided in the Lease Supplement for such Leased Asset.

7.2. Payment of Rent. Subject to the terms of Section 7.7 with respect to withholding taxes only, Rent shall be paid absolutely net to the Lessor, so that this Lease shall yield to the Lessor the full amount thereof, without setoff, deduction or reduction. Neither the Lessee's inability or failure to take possession of all or any portion of any Leased Asset when delivered by the Lessor, whether or not attributable to any act or omission of the Lessee or any act or omission of the Lessor, or for any other reason whatsoever, shall delay or otherwise affect the Lessee's obligation to pay Rent for such Leased Asset in accordance with the terms of this Lease.

7.3. Supplemental Rent. The Lessee shall pay to the Lessor any and all Supplemental Rent after receipt of an invoice therefor as the same shall become due and payable, and if the Lessee fails to pay any Supplemental Rent, the Lessor shall have all rights, powers and remedies provided for herein or by law or equity or otherwise in the case of nonpayment of Base Rent. The Lessee shall pay to the Lessor, as Supplemental Rent, among other things, on demand, interest at the applicable Overdue Rate on any amount payable by the Lessee hereunder or under any other Operative Document not paid when due for the period for which the same shall be overdue until the same shall be paid. The expiration or other termination of the Lessee's obligations to pay Base Rent hereunder shall not limit or modify the obligations of the Lessee with respect to Supplemental Rent. Unless expressly provided otherwise in this Lease, in the event of any failure on the part of the Lessee to pay and discharge any Supplemental Rent as and when due, the Lessee shall also promptly pay and discharge any fine, penalty, interest or cost which may be assessed or added under any agreement with a third party for nonpayment or late payment of such Supplemental Rent, all of which shall also constitute Supplemental Rent.

7.4. Fees. The Lessee hereby agrees to pay to the Lessor the fees set forth in this Section 7.4. All such fees shall be non-refundable and, to the extent provided in Section 3.2(e), shall be capitalized and included in the Lease Balance.

(a) Lessor Fee Letter. The Lessee shall pay to the Lessor the fees set forth in the Lessor Fee Letter executed or acknowledged by the Lessee, under which certain amounts shall be payable on the Closing Date.

(b) Commitment Fees. The Lessee shall pay to the Lessor commitment fees in respect of each Leased Asset at the times and in the amounts, if any, specified in the Lease Supplement therefor.

(c) Upfront Fees. The Lessee shall pay to the Lessor upfront fees in respect of each Leased Asset at the times and in the amounts, if any, specified in the Lease Supplement therefor.

7.5. Method of Payment. Each payment of Rent or any other amount due hereunder shall be made by the Lessee to the Lessor prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, at the Lessor's account at the Collateral Agent in funds consisting of lawful currency of the United States of America which shall be immediately available on the scheduled date when such payment shall be due, unless such scheduled date shall not be a Business Day, in which case such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. Payments received after 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on any day shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day.

7.6. Payments Free of Withholding. Subject to the terms of Section 7.7, all payments made by the Lessee under this Lease shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, all present and future Impositions. If any Impositions are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Lessor hereunder, the amounts so payable shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield (after payment of all Impositions) interest or any other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Lease or the other Operative Documents, as applicable. Whenever any Impositions are payable by the Lessee, as promptly as possible thereafter, the Lessee shall send to Lessor a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Lessee showing payment thereof. The obligations of the Lessee under this Section 7.6 shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations and the termination of this Lease.

7.7. Withholding Certificates. The Lessor and each assignee of Lessor's rights and interests hereunder shall provide to Lessee original executed copies of such tax forms or related certificates certifying no withholding tax is required to be deducted for United States federal income tax purposes from payments to be made hereunder. The Lessor shall also provide to the Lessee duplicate original copies of all tax certificates received from the Lenders under Section 10.10 of the Loan Agreement. Whenever a lapse of time or a change in circumstance after the initial delivery of the forms or certificates described in this Section 7.7 by Lessor (or its assignee) renders such forms or certificates obsolete or inaccurate, then Lessor (or such assignee, as the case may be) shall promptly deliver to Lessee (i) new original copies of such forms or certificates certifying that no such deduction or withholding is required with respect to payments to be made hereunder or (ii) written notification to the Lessee of its inability as a result of a change in law to deliver such forms or certificates.

ARTICLE VIII

QUIET ENJOYMENT; RIGHT TO INSPECT

8.1. Quiet Enjoyment. Subject to Sections 2.4 and 8.2, and subject to the rights of the Lessor contained herein and the other terms of the Operative Documents to which the Lessee is a party, the Lessee shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy each Leased Asset for the Lease Term applicable thereto, free of any claim or other action by the Lessor or anyone claiming by, through or under the Lessor (other than the Lessee) with respect to any matters arising from and after the Acquisition Date for such Leased Asset. Such right of quiet enjoyment is independent of, and shall not affect the Lessor's rights otherwise to initiate legal action to enforce, the obligations of the Lessee under this Lease.

8.2. Right to Inspect. During the Lease Term with respect to a Leased Asset, the Lessee shall, upon reasonable notice from the Lessor (except that no notice shall be required in the event of an emergency and one Business Day's notice shall be deemed reasonable if an Event of Default has

occurred and is continuing), permit the Lessor and its authorized representatives to inspect such Leased Asset during normal business hours. Lessor and its authorized representatives shall comply with all reasonable security measures and the rights of other occupants of the Property and maintain the confidentiality of any confidential information obtained during the course of any inspection and, at the request and expense of the Lessee, shall execute and deliver non-disclosure agreements to such effect as may be reasonably appropriate.

ARTICLE IX

NET LEASE

9.1. Net Lease. This Lease shall constitute a net lease. Any present or future law to the contrary notwithstanding, this Lease shall not terminate, nor shall the Lessee be entitled to any abatement, suspension, deferment, reduction, setoff, deduction, counterclaim, or defense whatsoever with respect to the Rent, nor shall the obligations of the Lessee hereunder be affected (except as expressly herein permitted and by performance of the obligations in connection therewith) by reason of: (i) any defect in the condition, merchantability, design, construction, quality or fitness for use of any Leased Asset or any part thereof, or the failure of any Leased Asset to comply with all Requirements of Law, including any inability to occupy or use any Leased Asset by reason of such non-compliance; (ii) any damage to, removal, abandonment, salvage, loss, contamination of or Release from, scrapping or destruction of or any requisition or taking of any Leased Asset or any part thereof; (iii) any restriction, prevention or curtailment of or interference with any use of the Leased Asset or any part thereof including eviction; (iv) any defect in title to or rights to any Leased Asset or any Lien on such title or rights or on any Leased Asset (other than Lessor Liens); (v) any change, waiver, extension, indulgence or other action or omission or breach in respect of any obligation or liability of or by the Lessor; (vi) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceedings relating to the Lessee or any other Person, or any action taken with respect to this Lease by any trustee or receiver of the Lessee or any other Person, or by any court, in any such proceeding; (vii) any claim that the Lessee has or might have against any Person, including without limitation the Lessor and any vendor, manufacturer, contractor of or for any portion of any Leased Asset; (viii) any failure on the part of the Lessor to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Lease (other than performance by Lessor of its obligations set forth in Section 2.1), of any other Operative Document or of any other agreement; (ix) any invalidity or unenforceability or illegality or disaffirmance of this Lease against or by the Lessee or any provision hereof or any of the other Operative Documents or any provision of any thereof; (x) any restriction, prevention or curtailment of or interference with the construction on or any use of any Leased Asset or any part thereof; or (xi) any other cause or circumstances, similar to the foregoing and whether or not the Lessee shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing. The parties intend that the obligations of the Lessee hereunder shall be covenants and agreements that are separate and independent from any obligations of the Lessor hereunder or under any other Operative Documents and the obligations of the Lessee shall continue unaffected unless such obligations shall have been performed, modified or terminated in accordance with an express provision of this Lease.

9.2. No Termination or Abatement. The Lessee shall remain obligated under this Lease in accordance with its terms and shall not take any action to terminate, rescind or avoid this Lease, notwithstanding any action for bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, or other proceeding affecting the Lessor, or any action with respect to this Lease which may be taken by any trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Lessor or by any court with respect to the Lessor. The Lessee hereby waives all right (i) to terminate or surrender this Lease (except as provided herein) or (ii) to avail itself of any abatement, suspension, deferment, reduction, setoff, deduction, counterclaim or defense with respect to the payment of any Rent; provided, however, no such payment made by the Lessee shall constitute a waiver of any claims Lessee may have. The Lessee shall remain obligated

under this Lease in accordance with its terms and the Lessee hereby waives any and all rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise to modify or to avoid strict compliance with its obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding any such statute or otherwise, the Lessee shall be bound by all of the terms and conditions contained in this Lease.

ARTICLE X

SUBLEASES

10.1. Subletting. The Lessee may not, without the consent of the Lessor, sublease any Leased Asset or any portion thereof to any Person, except on the terms expressly provided below, and any such sublease that does not comply with such terms shall be null and void. No sublease or other relinquishment of possession of such Leased Asset shall in any way affect, amend, reduce, discharge or diminish any of the Lessee's obligations to the Lessor hereunder and the Lessee shall remain directly and primarily liable (and not as a guarantor or a surety) under this Lease as to such Leased Asset, or portion thereof, so sublet. Any sublease of such Leased Asset shall expressly be made subject to and subordinated to this Lease and to the rights of the Lessor hereunder and shall expressly provide for the surrender of the Leased Asset by the sublessee thereof at the election of Lessor upon the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of this Lease as to such Leased Asset, including any termination caused by or resulting from the exercise by the Lessor of its rights or remedies hereunder or (ii) the Expiration Date for such Leased Asset. No such sublease may provide for use of such Leased Asset by the sublessee in a manner other than as permitted under this Lease or provide for a term which extends beyond the last day of the Base Term for such Leased Asset. Lessee shall give Lessor prompt written notice of any sublease permitted under this Article X, and Lessee shall, within thirty (30) days after execution of any sublease, deliver to the Lessor and the Collateral Agent a fully executed copy of such sublease. The Lessor acknowledges that it has received a copy of the sublease dated April 30, 2001, as amended to the date hereof, between the Lessee and Lumenis Ltd.; provided that such acknowledgment does not constitute an acknowledgment by the Lessor that such sublease complies with this Section 10.1 or a waiver by the Lessor of any rights it may have.

ARTICLE XI

LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

11.1. Condition of the Leased Assets. THE LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT IS LEASING EACH LEASED ASSET "AS IS" WITHOUT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY OTHERWISE PROVIDED HEREIN, REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT (EXPRESS OR IMPLIED) BY THE LESSOR AND SUBJECT TO (A) THE EXISTING STATE OF TITLE, (B) THE RIGHTS OF ANY PARTIES IN POSSESSION THEREOF, (C) ANY STATE OF FACTS WHICH AN ACCURATE SURVEY OR PHYSICAL INSPECTION MIGHT SHOW, AND (D) VIOLATIONS OF REQUIREMENTS OF LAW WHICH MAY EXIST ON THE DATE HEREOF OR AT ANY TIME HEREAFTER.

ARTICLE XII

POSSESSION AND USE

12.1. Possession and Use. Each Leased Asset may only be used as described in the applicable Lease Supplement therefor and in a manner consistent with the standards applicable to properties of a similar nature in the geographic area in which such Leased Asset is located or operated and in any event not less than the standards applied by the Lessee and its Affiliates for other comparable properties owned or leased by the Lessee and its Affiliates.

The Lessee shall be entitled to receive any credit or refund with respect to any Imposition paid by the Lessee with respect to any Leased Asset and the amount of any credit or refund actually received by the Lessor on account of any such Imposition, net of the costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Lessor in obtaining such credit or refund, shall be promptly paid over to the Lessee.

12.4. Compliance with Requirements of Law and Insurance Requirements. Subject to Section 16.1, the Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall (i) comply in all material respects with all Requirements of Law and Insurance Requirements relating to each Leased Asset, including the construction, use, operation, occupancy, maintenance, repair and restoration thereof and the remarketing thereof pursuant to Article XXIV, whether or not compliance therewith shall require structural or extraordinary changes in any Improvements or interfere with the use and enjoyment of such Leased Asset, and (ii) procure, maintain and comply in all material respects with all Governmental Actions and other authorizations required for the construction, use, operation, occupancy, maintenance, repair and restoration of the Leased Assets.

All Modifications shall remain part of such Leased Asset and shall be subject to this Lease and title thereto shall immediately vest in the Lessor; provided, however, that Modifications that meet each of the following conditions shall not be subject to this Lease: (x) such Modifications are not Required Modifications, (y) such Modifications were not financed by the Lessor and (z) such Modifications are capable of removal without impairing the value, utility or remaining useful life of the related Leased Asset.

ARTICLE XV

WARRANT OF TITLE; EASEMENTS

15.1. Warrant of Title.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein and subject to Section 16.1, the Lessee shall not directly or indirectly create or allow to remain, and shall promptly discharge at its sole cost and expense, any Lien, attachment or levy upon any Leased Asset or any Modifications or any Lien, attachment or levy with respect to the Rent, other than Permitted Liens.

(b) 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, modification, addition, repair or demolition of or to any Leased Asset or any part thereof. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT THE LESSOR IS NOT AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LABOR, SERVICES OR MATERIALS FURNISHED OR TO BE FURNISHED TO THE LESSEE, OR TO ANYONE HOLDING ANY LEASED ASSET OR ANY PART THEREOF THROUGH OR UNDER THE LESSEE, AND THAT NO MECHANIC'S OR OTHER LIENS FOR ANY SUCH LABOR, SERVICES OR MATERIALS SHALL ATTACH TO OR AFFECT THE INTEREST OF THE LESSOR IN AND TO ANY LEASED ASSET.

15.2. Grants and Releases of Easements and Other Rights. Provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and subject to the provisions of Articles XII, XIII and XIV, the Lessor hereby consents in each instance to the following actions by the Lessee, but at the Lessee's sole cost and expense: (a) the granting of easements, licenses, rights-of-way and other rights and privileges in the nature of easements reasonably necessary or desirable for the use, repair, or maintenance of any Property as herein provided and to give effect to the state of title in effect for such Property as set forth in the title policy therefor; (b) the release of existing easements or other rights in the nature of easements which are for the benefit of any Property; (c) if required by applicable Governmental Authority in connection with the Construction of Improvements at a Construction Property, the dedication or transfer of unimproved portions of any Land for road, highway or other public purposes; and (d) the execution of amendments to any covenants and restrictions affecting any Property; provided, however, that in each case (i) such grant, release, dedication, transfer or amendment does not materially impair the value, utility or remaining useful life of any Property, (ii) such grant, release, dedication, transfer or amendment is reasonably necessary in connection with the use, maintenance, alteration or improvement of any Property, (iii) such grant, release, dedication, transfer or amendment will not cause any Property or any portion thereof to fail to comply in any material

respect with the provisions of this Lease or any other Operative Document and all Requirements of Law; (iv) all Governmental Actions required prior to such grant, release, dedication, transfer or amendment have been obtained, and all filings required prior to such action have been made; (v) such grant, release, dedication, transfer or amendment will not result in any down-zoning of any Property or any portion thereof or a material reduction in the maximum density or development rights available to any Property under all Requirements of Law; (vi) the Lessee shall remain obligated under this Lease and under any Operative Document executed by the Lessee consenting to the assignment of the Lessor's interest in this Lease as security for Advances made by it to the Lessor, in each such case in accordance with their terms, as though such grant, release, dedication, transfer or amendment had not been effected; and (vii) the Lessee shall pay and perform any obligations of the Lessor under such grant, release, dedication, transfer or amendment. The Lessor acknowledges the Lessee's right to finance and to secure under the Uniform Commercial Code, inventory, furnishings, furniture, equipment, machinery, leasehold improvements and other personal property located at any Property other than such items of the foregoing that constitute a portion of the Improvements owned and financed by the Lessor hereunder, and Lessor agrees to execute landlord waiver forms in favor of any purchase money seller, lessor or lender which has financed or provided or may finance or provide in the future such items. Without limiting the effectiveness of the foregoing, provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lessor shall, upon the request of the Lessee, and at the Lessee's sole cost and expense, execute and deliver from time to time all documents, instruments and agreements reasonably requested by the Lessee in order to effect any such grant, release, dedication, transfer or amendment permitted under this Section 15.2 in the manner reasonably requested by the Lessee and within the time parameters reasonably requested by the Lessee; provided that in each case, the Lessee could not reasonably effect such grant, release, dedication, transfer or amendment without the execution or participation of the Lessor and provided further, that each such document, instrument or agreement is in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor in all respects. The Lessee shall promptly reimburse the Lessor for, or at the Lessor's request, pay directly in advance, all reasonable costs, expenses and other amounts incurred or required to be expended by the Lessor in order to comply with the Lessee's requests made in accordance with the terms of this Section 15.2.

15.3. Restrictions on Lessor's Acts. Except where requested by the Lessee pursuant to Section 15.2, the Lessor shall not cause or give its written consent to (a) any land use or zoning change affecting any Property, (b) any changes of street grade, (c) except in connection with an assignment, transfer or sale by Lessor of all of its rights in a Property and the related rights hereunder and under the other Operative Documents, any transfer to any third party of any rights inuring to, or benefits associated with, any Property (including, without limitation, zoning rights, development rights, air space rights, mineral, oil, gas or water rights), or (d) except as otherwise expressly contemplated by the Operative Documents, any mortgage, deed of trust, encumbrances or other title exceptions with respect to any Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Lessor or Lenders are exercising rights against the Lessee, the Lessor (with the consent of the Majority Lenders) may cause or give its written consent to any action or event described in the preceding sentence.

ARTICLE XVI

PERMITTED CONTESTS

16.1. Permitted Contests.

(a) The Lessee shall not be required to pay any Imposition on any Leased Asset, or to discharge or remove any Lien on any Leased Asset, or to comply or cause any Leased Asset to comply with any Requirements of Law applicable thereto or the occupancy, use or operation thereof, so long as no Event of Default exists under this Lease and, in the reasonable opinion of

the Lessee, the Lessee shall have reasonable grounds to contest the existence, amount, applicability or validity thereof by appropriate proceedings, which proceedings in the reasonable judgment of the Lessor, (i) shall not involve any material danger that any Leased Asset or any Base Rent or any Supplemental Rent would be subject to sale, forfeiture or loss, as a result of failure to comply therewith, (ii) shall not affect the payment of any Base Rent or any Supplemental Rent or other sums due and payable hereunder or result in any such sums being payable to any Person other than the Lessor or the Collateral Agent, (iii) will not place the Lessor or any other Indemnitee in any danger of civil liability for which the Lessor or such Indemnitee is not adequately indemnified (the Lessee's obligation under Section 26.1 of this Lease shall be deemed to be adequate indemnification if no Default or Event of Default exists) or to any criminal liability, (iv) if involving Taxes, shall suspend the collection of such Taxes, and (v) shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which the Lessee or the Leased Asset is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder (a "Permitted Contest"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a proceeding to contest an Imposition after such Imposition has been paid (e.g., a refund claim) shall also constitute a Permitted Contest provided that the conditions set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (v) above are satisfied. Such reasonable grounds shall be conclusively established if Lessor receives from Lessee a copy of a letter or other writing from counsel to Lessee which states that Lessee has reasonable grounds to contest. The Lessee shall conduct all Permitted Contests in good faith and with due diligence and shall promptly after the final determination (including appeals) of any Permitted Contest, pay and discharge all amounts which shall be determined to be payable therein. The Lessor shall cooperate in good faith with the Lessee with respect to all Permitted Contests conducted by the Lessee pursuant to this Section 16.1 and in the event that Applicable Law shall require that Lessor, rather than the Lessee, pursue legal proceedings for such contest, Lessor will initiate and pursue such contest upon the Lessee's request and in accordance with the Lessee's reasonable instructions (including, without limitation, the Lessee's instructions as to the selection of legal counsel and matters of strategy or settlement); provided, however, that (a) Lessor shall not be subject to any liability whatsoever in connection with any such participation, including for the payment of any costs or expenses in connection with any such contest or proceedings, and the Lessee will indemnify, defend and save harmless Lessor from any such costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, costs of court, appraisal costs and other out-of-pocket costs), reimbursing Lessor therefor upon demand (or paying such costs and expenses directly when due, all as directed by Lessor) and (b) the substance and nature of any such Permitted Contest and the Lessor's anticipated involvement therein shall be acceptable to Lessor in all respects. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, the Lessee shall have the unconditional right to contest (without prior payment) any Impositions imposed by law upon the Lessee rather than the Lessor or any Leased Asset.

(b) In the event the Lessor deems, in its sole discretion, that its interests under this Lease or in any Leased Asset are not adequately protected in connection with a Permitted Contest brought by the Lessee under this Section 16.1, the Lessee shall give such reasonable security, as may be demanded by the Lessor to insure payment of such Imposition, discharge of such Lien and compliance with such Requirements of Law and to prevent any sale or forfeiture of any Leased Asset, any Base Rent or any Supplemental Rent by reason of such nonpayment, nondischarge or noncompliance. The Lessee hereby agrees that the Lessor may assign such security provided by the Lessee to the Collateral Agent.

(c) At least ten (10) days prior to the commencement of any Permitted Contest, the Lessee shall notify the Lessor in writing thereof if the amount in contest exceeds $100,000, and shall describe such proceeding in reasonable detail. In the event that a taxing authority or subdivision thereof proposes an additional assessment or levy of any Tax for which the Lessee is obligated to reimburse the Lessor under this Lease, or in the event that the Lessor is notified of the

commencement of an audit or similar proceeding which could result in such an additional assessment, then the Lessor shall in a timely manner notify the Lessee in writing of such proposed levy or proceeding.

ARTICLE XVII

INSURANCE

17.1. Public Liability and Workers' Compensation Insurance. During the Lease Term for each Property, the Lessee shall procure and carry commercial general liability insurance for claims for bodily injury or death sustained by persons or damage to property while on such Property and such other public liability coverages as are ordinarily procured by Lessee or its Affiliates who own or operate similar properties. Such insurance shall be on terms and in amounts that are materially no less favorable than insurance maintained by Lessee or its Affiliates with respect to similar properties that they own and that are in accordance with normal industry practice in the jurisdiction in which such Property is located, but in no case less than $10,000,000 per occurrence with respect to such commercial general liability coverage. The Lessee shall, in connection with the operation of any Property and the making of any Modifications thereto, comply with, and cause any applicable contractor to comply with, all applicable workers' compensation laws.

17.2. Hazard and Other Insurance.

(a) Insurance. During the Lease Term for each Property, the Lessee shall keep, or cause to be kept, such Property insured against loss or damage by fire, flood and other risks (excluding earthquake) on terms and in amounts that are no less favorable than insurance covering other similar properties owned by such Lessee or its Affiliates and that are in accordance with normal industry practice; provided that, subject to Section 17.2(b) below, such insurance shall at all times be in an amount not less than the greater of the Lease Balance of such Property or the replacement cost thereof (exclusive of land, foundation, excavations, grading, landscaping, architectural and development fees and other items customarily excluded from such coverage and without any deduction for depreciation).

(b) Amount of Coverage. In the event the replacement cost of any Leased Asset is less than the Lease Balance for such Leased Asset resulting in the required amount of property damage and hazard coverage equal to the Lease Balance to be unavailable, then for so long as the higher limit of such required coverage is unavailable, the Lessee shall procure and maintain such coverage in an amount not less than the replacement cost for such Leased Asset and the Monthly Amortization for such Leased Asset shall be automatically amended in accordance with the Lease Supplement for such Leased Asset.

17.3. Insurance Coverage.

(a) The insurance required under Sections 17.1 and 17.2 shall name the Lessor, the Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders as additional insureds with respect to liability coverage (excluding worker's compensation insurance) and name the Collateral Agent as loss payee with respect to property coverage. All such insurance and any deductibles payable under such insurance shall be at the sole cost and expense of Lessee and shall be maintained with respect to each Leased Asset from the Base Date thereof through the Expiration Date therefor. The insurance required under Sections 17.1 and 17.2 shall include a provision for no less than thirty (30) days' advance written notice (or ten (10) days' notice for non-payment of premium) by the insurer to the Lessor and the Collateral Agent in the event of cancellation or reduction of such insurance. All insurance provided to the Lessor and additional insureds shall be considered primary and not excess or contributing with any insurance or self-insurance maintained by the Lessor or additional insureds.

(b) The Lessee agrees that the insurance policy or policies required by Sections 17.1 and 17.2, shall include an appropriate clause pursuant to which such policy shall provide that the rights of the Lessor will not be invalidated should Lessee waive, in writing, prior to a loss, any or all rights of recovery against any party for losses covered by such policy. The insurance required to be maintained by the Lessee under Sections 17.1 and 17.2 shall include a clause which provides that it shall not be invalidated or reduced by any act or omission or negligence of Lessee or any other Person having any interest in any Leased Asset. The Lessee and the Lessor each hereby waives any and all rights against the other for loss or damage to or loss of use of its property to the extent of payments made under its property insurance so long as such waiver shall not affect its rights to recover under such insurance.

(c) Except as otherwise permitted by clause (d), all such insurance required to be maintained hereunder shall be written by reputable insurance companies licensed to write and issue insurance coverage in the jurisdiction where the Leased Assets are located and otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Lessor. All insurance policies required by Section 17.2 shall include a multi-insured clause in form and substance satisfactory to the Lessor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each insurance company writing the insurance coverages required hereunder shall have a general policyholder rating of "A" or better and a financial rating of "VIII" or better as published in the current A.M. Best Insurance Rating Guide; provided that if any such insurance company's general policyholder rating shall be downgraded below "A" by A.M. Best and, at the time of such downgrade, due to industry-wide changes in the insurance market, it is not commercially practicable, in the Lessor's reasonable judgment, for the Lessee to obtain insurance coverages from an insurance company with an "A" rating, then (i) the Lessor and the Lessee shall negotiate in good faith to determine a new rating or other standard to be used in this provision that is acceptable to the Lessor and the Lessee, so long as the Majority Lenders consent thereto and (ii) during such negotiations, the Lessee shall not be required to obtain insurance coverages from an insurance company with an "A" rating; provided, further that the Lessee shall not be permitted to obtain or maintain insurance coverages from an insurance company with a rating that is lower than "A-" by A.M. Best.

(d) The Lessor shall not carry separate insurance concurrent in kind or form or contributing in the event of loss with respect to a Leased Asset with any insurance required under this Article XVII except that the Lessor may carry separate liability insurance so long as (i) Lessee's insurance is designated as primary and in no event excess or contributory to any insurance the Lessor may have in force which would apply to a loss covered under Lessee's policy and (ii) each such insurance policy will not cause the Lessee's insurance required under this Article XVII to be subject to a coinsurance exception of any kind. Each policy maintained by Lessee under this Article XVII shall specifically provide that the policy shall be considered primary insurance which shall apply to any loss or claim before any contribution by any insurance which the Lessor may have in force.

(e) Deductibles; Etc. The insurance required to be obtained and maintained by the Lessee under this Lease may be subject to deductible amounts and self-insured retentions as are consistent with the Lessee's or its Affiliates' practice for other properties similar to the applicable Property owned or leased by the Lessee or its Affiliates, and may be carried under blanket or a combination of primary and umbrella policies maintained by or on behalf of the Lessee so long as such policies otherwise comply with the provisions of this Section 17.3. The Lessee shall be fully responsible for the payment of all such deductibles or self-insured retentions.

(f) The Lessee shall pay as they become due all premiums for the insurance required by Section 17.1 and Section 17.2, and shall renew or replace each policy prior to the expiration date thereof. Throughout the Base Term for any Leased Asset, at the time each of the insurance policies in respect of such Leased Asset is renewed (but in no event less frequently than once each

year), the Lessee shall deliver to the Lessor and the Collateral Agent certificates of insurance or other similar proof acceptable to Lessor evidencing that all insurance required by this Article XVII with respect to such Asset is being maintained by the Lessee and is in effect.

(g) All insurance proceeds in respect of any property damage loss or occurrence for which the proceeds related thereto are (i) less than or equal to the Threshold Amount, in the absence of the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, shall be adjusted by and paid to the Lessee for application toward the reconstruction, repair or refurbishment of the applicable Leased Asset and (ii) greater than the Threshold Amount, shall be adjusted jointly by the Lessee, the Lessor and the Collateral Agent (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case such proceeds shall be adjusted solely by the Lessor and the Collateral Agent) and held by the Escrow Agent for application in accordance with Article XVIII hereof.

ARTICLE XVIII

CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION; ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

18.1. Casualty and Condemnation.

(a) During the Lease Term for any Leased Asset, subject to the provisions of this Article XVIII and Article XIX, if all or a portion of such Leased Asset is damaged or destroyed in whole or in part by a Casualty, then in the case of a Casualty where the cost of restoration of the affected Leased Asset in the reasonable judgment of the Lessor is (x) less than or equal to the Threshold Amount, any insurance proceeds payable with respect to such Casualty shall be paid directly to the Lessee, or if received by the Lessor or Collateral Agent, shall be paid over to Lessee for the reconstruction, refurbishment and repair of such Leased Asset, (y) greater than the Threshold Amount, any insurance proceeds payable with respect to such Casualty shall be paid to the Collateral Agent and applied in reduction of the Lease Balance for such Leased Asset; provided that if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and within 60 days after the occurrence of such event of Casualty, Lessee submits to the Lessor a Responsible Employee's Certificate to the effect that such Leased Asset can be fully restored to the condition required under this Lease within the earlier to occur of the Expiration Date for such Leased Asset and 18 months after the occurrence of such event of Casualty and as to the cost of such restoration (accompanied by an Architect's certificate as to the foregoing matters) together with a statement as to Lessee's affirmative ability to finance such restoration, then upon receipt of such certificate(s) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor, the Lessor shall direct the Collateral Agent to transfer such insurance proceeds to an escrow agent acceptable to Lessor and Lessee (the "Escrow Agent") to be held on such terms and conditions and escrow arrangements, in form and substance satisfactory to the Lessor and the Lessee, pending disbursement to the Lessee of insurance proceeds solely for the purpose of reconstructing, refurbishing and repairing such Leased Asset in the manner contemplated by the Construction Agency Agreement with respect to Construction of the Improvements and subsection 18.1(f) below; provided, however, that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or if any of the foregoing conditions are not satisfied or complied with, such insurance proceeds shall be paid directly to the Collateral Agent for application in reduction of the Lease Balance for such Leased Asset. If, contrary to such provision, any such award, compensation or insurance proceeds are paid to Lessee rather than to the Lessor, the Lessee hereby agrees to hold the same in trust for the benefit of the Lessor and to transfer promptly any such payment to the Lessor.

(b) During the Lease Term for any Leased Asset, subject to the provisions of this Article XVIII and Article XIX, if all or any portion of such Leased Asset is the subject of a Condemnation, then the entire amount of any award or compensation paid or payable in respect thereof shall be paid to the Lessor to be applied in reduction of the Lease Balance for such

Leased Asset. To the extent such Leased Asset is, in the reasonable judgment of the Lessor, capable of being restored to a functional and architectural whole suitable for its continued use and operation in the manner which existed immediately prior to such Condemnation for a restoration cost equal to or less than the aggregate compensation or award paid or payable with respect to such Condemnation and such additional amounts as Lessee agrees to contribute then, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and in the opinion of the Lessor, such restoration can be completed by the end of the Base Term, then such compensation and award shall be made available for the restoration of such Leased Asset on the same terms and escrow arrangements outlined in Sections 18.1(a) and (f). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all such amounts so held in any such escrow arrangement shall be applied in accordance with the terms and in the manner provided in Section 18.1(c). If contrary to the foregoing, any such award or compensation is paid to the Lessee, the Lessee shall hold all such amounts in trust for the Lessor and pay all such amounts over to the Lessor.

(c) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts held by the Lessor or the Escrow Agent hereunder on account of any award, compensation or insurance proceeds either paid directly to the Lessor or turned over to the Lessor or the Escrow Agent shall in the Lessor's sole discretion either be (i) deposited with the Collateral Agent to be held pending disbursement to the Lessee for the repair of damage caused by such Casualty or Condemnation in accordance with clause (f) of this Section 18.1, or (ii) applied toward the payment of the Lease Balance of the affected Leased Asset.

(d) During the Lease Term for any Leased Asset, the Lessee may appear in any proceeding or action to negotiate, prosecute, adjust or appeal any claim for any award, compensation or insurance payment on account of any such Casualty or Condemnation and shall pay all expenses thereof. At the Lessee's reasonable request, and at Lessee's sole cost and expense, the Lessor shall participate in any such proceeding, action, negotiation, prosecution or adjustment. The Lessor and the Lessee agree that this Lease shall control the rights of the Lessor and such Lessee in and to any such award, compensation or insurance payment.

(e) If the Lessor or the Lessee shall receive notice of a Casualty or of an actual, pending or threatened Condemnation of any Leased Asset or any interest therein, the Lessor or the Lessee, as the case may be, shall give notice thereof to the other promptly after the receipt of such notice.

(f) If pursuant to this Section 18.1 or Section 19.1 this Lease shall continue in full force and effect following a Casualty or Condemnation with respect to any Leased Asset, the Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly and diligently repair any damage to such Leased Asset caused by such Casualty or Condemnation on or before the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Lease Term for such Leased Asset and 18 months after the date of such Casualty and in any event in conformity with the requirements of Sections 13.1 and 14.1 using the as-built Plans and Specifications for such Property (as modified to give effect to any subsequent Modifications, any Condemnation affecting such Property and all applicable Requirements of Law) so as to restore such Asset (i) in the case of a Casualty, to at least the same condition, operation, function and value as existed immediately prior to such Casualty with such Modification as the Lessee may elect in accordance with Section 14.1 or (ii) in the case of a Condemnation, to a functional and architectural whole suitable for its continued use and operation in the manner which existed immediately prior to such Condemnation. All insurance proceeds held by the Lessor, the Collateral Agent or the Escrow Agent shall be made available to the Lessee on the same terms, and subject to the same conditions, as Advances are made available to the Lessee hereunder. Lessee shall effect the restoration of any Property affected by a Casualty or Condemnation at its sole cost and expense (and, without limitation, if any insurance or condemnation proceeds are insufficient to restore such Property in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, Lessee shall pay any such shortfall). Upon completion of such restoration and repair, Lessee shall furnish the Lessor a

Responsible Employee's Certificate and an Architect's certificate, in each case confirming that such restoration and repair has been completed pursuant to this Lease.

(g) In no event shall a Casualty or Condemnation affect the obligations of the Lessee to pay Rent pursuant to Section 7.1 or to perform its obligations and pay any amounts due on any Expiration Date or pursuant to Articles XXII and XXV, except that any proceeds or awards applied in reduction of the Lease Balance for a Leased Asset shall, pursuant to the terms of the Lease Supplement for such Leased Asset, reduce the amount of Base Rent payable in respect of such Leased Asset.

(h) Any Excess Proceeds received by the Lessor or Collateral Agent in respect of a Casualty or Condemnation affecting any Leased Asset shall be turned over to the Lessee upon the full payment of the Lease Balance for such Leased Asset and all other amounts then due and payable by the Lessee hereunder and under any other Operative Document to which the Lessee is a party.

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of any Casualty or Condemnation during the Construction Period for any Property, the provisions of the Construction Agency Agreement and Section 19.3 hereof shall control.

18.2. Environmental Matters. Promptly upon Lessee's knowledge of the existence of an Environmental Violation with respect to any Property, Lessee shall notify the Lessor in writing of such Environmental Violation. If the cost of remediation of such Environmental Violation would not exceed the limits set forth in Section 19.1 and such Environmental Violation is not caused by Lessor or its agents, representatives or invitees, the Lessee will promptly and diligently undertake any response, cleanup, remedial or other action required by Applicable Law of the Lessor or Lessee to remove, cleanup or remediate such Environmental Violation, at Lessee's sole cost and expense. If the cost of such remediation would exceed the limits set forth in Section 19.1, the Lessor may elect to terminate this Lease with respect to such Property pursuant to Section 19.1 or, alternatively, the Lessor may require that the Lessee undertake any response, cleanup, remedial or other action required by Applicable Law of the Lessor or Lessee to remove, clean up or remediate the Environmental Violation in accordance with the terms of Section 12.4, at the Lessee's sole cost and expense; provided that if the Lessor elects to terminate this Lease with respect to any Property described in Lease Supplement No. 1 or Lease Supplement No. 2, then the Lessor will terminate this Lease with respect to all of the Leased Assets described in Lease Supplement No. 1 and Lease Supplement No. 2. If the Lessor does not deliver a Termination Notice with respect to such Property pursuant to Section 19.1, then Lessee shall in accordance with Applicable Law undertake such response, cleanup, remedial or other action, and shall, upon completion of such remedial action, cause to be prepared by an environmental consultant reasonably acceptable to the Lessor a report describing the Environmental Violation and the actions taken by Lessee (or its agents) in response to such Environmental Violation, along with a statement by Lessee that the Environmental Violation has been remedied to the satisfaction of the Governmental Authority exercising jurisdiction, or in compliance in all material respects with applicable Environmental Law. Nothing in this Section shall reduce or limit the obligations of the Lessee under the indemnity provisions hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 18.2, in the event an Environmental Violation is caused by Lessor, or its agents (other than the Construction Agent), representatives, or invitees, Lessor shall, in accordance with Applicable Law, promptly undertake such response, cleanup, remedial or other action, and shall, upon completion of such remedial action, cause to be prepared by an environmental consultant reasonably acceptable to the Lessee a report describing the Environmental Violation and the actions taken by Lessor (or its agents) in response to such Environmental Violation, along with a statement by Lessor that the Environmental Violation has been remedied to the satisfaction of the Governmental Authority exercising jurisdiction, or in compliance in all material respects with applicable Environmental Law.

18.3. Notice of Environmental Claims. Promptly, but in any event within thirty (30) days from the date Lessee has actual knowledge thereof, Lessee shall provide to the Lessor written notice of any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding involving any Environmental Violation or any Release on or in connection with any Property. All such notices shall describe in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, action or proceeding and the Lessee's proposed response thereto. In addition, Lessee shall provide to the Lessor, within thirty (30) days of receipt, copies of all written communications with any Governmental Authority relating to any Environmental Violation in connection with any Leased Asset. The Lessee shall also promptly provide such detailed reports of any such environmental claims as may reasonably be requested by the Lessor. In the event that the Lessor receives written notice of any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding involving any Environmental Violation or any Release on or in connection with any Property, the Lessor shall promptly give notice thereof to the Lessee.

(l) a Change of Control shall occur.

20.2. Remedies.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, the Lessor may with respect to each Leased Asset (other than a Construction Property for which the Lease Term has not commenced), do one or more of the following as the Lessor in its sole discretion shall determine, without limiting any other right or remedy the Lessor may have on account of such Event of Default (including the obligation of the Lessee to purchase the Leased Assets as set forth in Section 22.2) and without limiting Lessee's option to purchase the Leased Assets after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 22.1:

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

(ii) The Lessor may (A) demand that the Lessee, and the Lessee shall upon the written demand of the Lessor, return any Leased Asset promptly to the Lessor in the manner and condition required by Section 13.1 as if the Leased Asset were being returned at the end of

the Lease Term, and the Lessor shall not be liable for the reimbursement of the Lessee for any costs and expenses incurred by the Lessee in connection therewith and (B) without prejudice to any other remedy which the Lessor may have for possession of any Leased Asset, and to the extent and in the manner permitted by Applicable Law, enter upon such Leased Asset and take immediate possession of (to the exclusion of the Lessee) such Leased Asset or any part thereof and expel or remove the Lessee and any other Person who may be occupying such Leased Asset, by summary proceedings or otherwise, all without liability to the Lessee 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 the Lessor's other damages, the Lessee shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by the Lessor in connection with any reletting, including without limitation, reasonable brokers' fees and all reasonable costs of any alterations or repairs made by the Lessor;

(iii) This Lease may also be terminated by a judgment specifically providing for termination. Any termination of this Lease under this Section 20.2 shall not release Lessee from the payment of any sum then due Lessor or from any claim for damages or rent previously accrued or then accruing against Lessee. In no event shall any one or more of the following actions by Lessor constitute a termination of this Lease: (A) maintenance and preservation of the Leased Assets, (B) efforts to relet the Leased Assets, (C) appointment of a receiver in order to protect Lessor's interest hereunder, (D) consent to any subletting of one or more Leased Assets or assignment of this Lease by Lessee, whether pursuant to provisions hereof concerning subletting and assignment or otherwise; or (E) any other action by Lessor or Lessor's agents intended to mitigate the adverse effects from any breach of this Lease by Lessee. In the event this Lease is terminated pursuant to this Section 20.2 or otherwise, Lessor shall be entitled to damages in the following sums: (1) the worth at the time of award of the unpaid Rent which has been earned at the time of termination; plus (2) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (3) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Lease Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided; and (4) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all detriment proximately caused by Lessee's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease, or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom including, without limitation, reasonable expenses for cleaning, repairing or restoring the Leased Assets to the condition required under Article XIII, all real estate broker's fees, advertising costs and other expenses of reletting any of the Leased Assets which are reasonably incurred by Lessor and applicable to the period after termination of this Lease, all costs of carrying the Leased Assets such as taxes and insurance premiums thereon, utilities and security precautions not otherwise included in Supplemental Rent, all expenses in retaking possession of the Leased Assets, and all attorneys' fees and court costs. As used herein, the "worth at the time of award" of the amounts referred to in above is computed by allowing interest at the Overdue Rate. Without limiting the right of the Lessee to purchase the Leased Assets after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 22.1, Lessee hereby waives any right of redemption or relief from forfeiture under the laws of the State of California, or under any other present or future law, including the provisions of Sections 1174 and 1179 of the California Code of Civil Procedure;

(iv) The Lessor may, at its option, elect not to terminate this Lease and continue to collect all Base Rent, Supplemental Rent, and all other amounts due the Lessor (together with all costs of collection) and enforce the Lessee's obligations under this Lease as and when the same become due, or are to be performed, and at the option of the Lessor, upon any abandonment of any Leased Asset by the Lessee, the Lessor may enforce, by suit or

otherwise, all other covenants and conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by the Lessee hereunder and the other Operative Documents;

(v) Unless all of the Leased Assets have been sold in their entirety, the Lessor may, whether or not the Lessor shall have exercised or shall thereafter at any time exercise any of its rights under paragraph (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this Section 20.2 with respect to the Leased Assets or portions thereof, demand, by written notice to the Lessee specifying a date not earlier than ten (10) Business Days after the date of such notice, that the Lessee purchase, on such date, all unsold Leased Assets (or the remaining portion thereof) in accordance with the provisions of Article 22.2; provided, however, that no such written notice shall be required upon the occurrence of any Event of Default in clause (f) or (g) of Section 20.1, in which event the Lessee shall immediately and automatically be obligated to purchase all such Leased Assets in accordance with Section 22.2; and

(vi) The Lessor may exercise any other right or remedy that may be available to it under Applicable Law, or proceed by appropriate court action (legal or equitable) to enforce the terms hereof or to recover damages for the breach hereof. Separate suits may be brought to collect any such damages for any period(s), and such suits shall not in any manner prejudice the Lessor's right to collect any such damages for any subsequent period(s), and such suits shall not in any manner prejudice the Lessor's right to collect any such damages for any subsequent period(s), or the Lessor may defer any such right to suit until after the expiration of the Lease Term, in which event such right to suit shall be deemed not to have accrued until the expiration of the Lease Term.

(b) To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Lessee hereby waives the benefit of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement and redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshalling in the event of any sale of any Leased Asset or any interest therein.

(c) The Lessor shall be entitled to enforce payment of the indebtedness and performance of the obligations secured hereby and to exercise all rights and powers under this instrument or under any of the other Operative Documents or other agreement or any laws now or hereafter in force, notwithstanding some or all of the obligations secured hereby may now or hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by mortgage, security agreement, pledge, lien, assignment or otherwise. Neither the acceptance of this instrument nor its enforcement shall prejudice or in any manner affect the Lessor's right to realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by the Lessor, it being agreed that the Lessor shall be entitled to enforce this instrument and any other security now or hereafter held by the Lessor in such order and manner as the Lessor may determine in its absolute discretion. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Lessor is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. Every power or remedy given by any of the Operative Documents to the Lessor or to which it may otherwise be entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Lessor. In no event shall the Lessor, in the exercise of the remedies provided in this instrument (including, without limitation, in connection with the assignment of rents to Lessor, or the appointment of a receiver and the entry of such receiver on to all or any part of the Leased Assets), be deemed a "mortgagee in possession," and the Lessor shall not in any way be made liable for any act, either of commission or omission, in connection with the exercise of such remedies.

(d) An action of mortgage foreclosure as now provided or hereafter prescribed by law, may forthwith be commenced and prosecuted to judgment, execution and sale, for the collection of the whole amount of such Lease Balance secured thereby, together with all fees, costs and expenses of

such proceedings, including a reasonable attorney's fees. And all errors in such proceedings, together with any stays of or exemptions from execution, or extensions of time of payment, which may be given by any Applicable Law now in force, or which may be enacted hereafter, are hereby forever waived and released.

(e) If, pursuant to the exercise by the Lessor of its remedies pursuant to this Section 20.2, the Lease Balance for all Leased Assets plus all other amounts due and owing from the Lessee under this Lease and the other Operative Documents shall have been paid in full, the Lessor shall remit to the Lessee any excess amounts received by the Lessor.

20.3. Operative Document Remedies. In addition to any other rights and remedies herein, Lessor and/or the Collateral Agent shall upon the occurrence of any Event of Default have the option to exercise any of their respective rights and remedies under each Mortgage, the Security Agreement and each other Operative Document. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in the other Operative Documents, in connection with the Lessor's exercise of remedies following the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Lessor agrees that with respect to any Leased Asset, the Lessor will either (i) foreclose upon, or cause the exercise of the non-judicial power of sale with respect to, such Leased Asset within five (5) years after the date of such Event of Default or (ii) through the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts (including the listing with a real estate broker) cause the sale of such Leased Asset to an unaffiliated third party within five (5) years after the date on which the Lessee's rights to occupy such Leased Asset have been terminated, the Lessee (and any sublessee or other party claiming by, through or under Lessee) has vacated and surrendered possession of such Leased Asset and the Lessee has executed and delivered a written release of its rights and interests (other than its right to receive a portion of the Gross Proceeds from the sale of such Leased Asset to the extent provided in the Operative Documents) to, and confirmation of its surrender of possession of, such Leased Asset.

20.4. Waiver of Certain Rights.

(a) If this Lease shall be terminated pursuant to Section 20.2, the Lessee waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) any notice of re-entry or the institution of legal proceedings to obtain re-entry or possession; (ii) any right of redemption, re-entry or repossession; (iii) the benefit of any laws now or hereafter in force exempting property from liability for rent or for debt or limiting the Lessor with respect to the election of remedies; and (iv) any other rights which might otherwise limit or modify any of the Lessor's rights or remedies under this Article XX.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lessee waives Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code and any other Applicable Law that otherwise would require the return of any security deposit or other form of security prior to the satisfaction of all of the Obligations.

20.5. Initial Leased Assets. The Lessor agrees that if it elects to exercise remedies pursuant to Section 20.2 or 20.3 against any Leased Asset described in Lease Supplement No. 1 or Lease Supplement No. 2 then, to the extent practicable, it will exercise such remedies against all of the Leased Assets described in Lease Supplement No. 1 and Lease Supplement No. 2.

ARTICLE XXI

ASSIGNMENT

21.1. Assignment. The Lessee may not assign this Lease or any of its rights or obligations hereunder in whole or in part to any Person without the consent of the Lessor; which consent shall be given or withheld in its sole discretion. The Lessor may transfer or assign (by way of an assignment or rent purchase arrangement) all or any portion of its rights and interests in any Leased Asset and the Operative Documents related thereto (i) as specifically provided in the Operative Documents, (ii) in connection with the exercise of any of its rights or remedies

thereunder and (iii) to any Approved Substitute Lessor; provided, that any assignment or transfer of an interest in any Leased Asset to any Substitute Lessor shall be accompanied by an assignment or transfer of a ratable interest in all of the rights and obligations of the Lessor hereunder and under the other Operative Documents in respect of such Leased Asset; provided, further that (x) Lessor shall provide not less than thirty (30) days' notice of such assignment and transfer to Lessee and (y) if Lessor assigns or transfers an interest in any Leased Asset described in Lease Supplement No. 1 or Lease Supplement No. 2, then Lessor shall assign or transfer its interest in each Leased Asset described in Lease Supplement No. 1 and Lease Supplement No. 2. The Lessor shall maintain a registry in accordance with United States Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c), in respect of Lessee's obligation to make payments under this Lease which, for federal income tax purposes, constitute principal and interest payments. A transfer or assignment by the Lessor of the right to receive any such payments under this Lease pursuant to this Section 21.1 shall be transferable only through an appropriate entry in such registry.

ARTICLE XXII

PURCHASE PROVISIONS

22.1. Purchase Option. The Lessee shall have the option (exercisable by giving the Lessor irrevocable written notice (the "Purchase Notice") of the Lessee's election to exercise such option) at any time (including during the existence of a Default or Event of Default or after the commencement of exercising remedies against the Lessee, but in no event after the date which occurs 120 days after the date on which the Lessor or the Collateral Agent sends a notice of default and demand for sale pursuant to the Lease or the Mortgage made by the Lessee) to purchase all of the Leased Assets under any Lease Supplement (unless provisions with respect to joinder of purchase options for the Leased Assets under more than one Lease Supplement are set forth in a Lease Supplement, in which case such exercise must comply with such provisions) on the Business Day specified in such Purchase Notice at a price equal to the Lease Balance for such Leased Assets (the "Purchase Option Price"). The Lessee shall deliver the Purchase Notice to the Lessor not less than thirty (30) days prior to such purchase; provided that if the Lessee shall have previously delivered a notice of its election of the Termination Option with respect to a Leased Asset, any Purchase Notice for such Leased Asset thereafter delivered to the Lessor during the thirty-day period prior to the Expiration Date for such Leased Asset shall be delivered to the Lessor as far in advance as possible and, in any event, shall specify such Expiration Date as the date for such purchase and sale. If the Lessee exercises its option to purchase one or more Leased Assets pursuant to this Section 22.1 (the "Purchase Option"), the Lessor shall transfer to the Lessee or its designee all of the Lessor's right, title and interest in and to the applicable Leased Assets as of the date specified in the Purchase Notice upon receipt of the Purchase Option Price in accordance with Section 25.1. If the Lessee shall have previously delivered notice of its election to exercise the Termination Option or if the Lessor or the Collateral Agent shall have commenced the exercise of remedies against the Lessee or the applicable Leased Asset from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor on the date set forth in the Purchase Notice in addition to the Purchase Option Price, all costs, fees and other expenses incurred by the Lessor or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, in connection with the transactions and obligations contemplated by the Termination Option set forth in Article XXIV, or the exercise of remedies hereunder and under the other Operative Documents. The Lessee may designate, in a notice given to the Lessor not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the closing of such purchase (time being of the essence), the transferee or transferees to whom the conveyance shall be made (if other than to the Lessee), in which case such conveyance shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein) be made to such designee; provided, however, that such designation of a transferee or transferees shall not cause the Lessee to be released, fully or partially, from any of its obligations under this Lease, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay the Lessor the Purchase Option Price on the applicable Expiration Date. If with respect to any Leased Asset the Lessee shall (a) fail to exercise

the Termination Option as set forth in Section 24.1 for such Leased Asset and (b) if a Renewal Option is then available for such Leased Asset, fail to exercise the Renewal Option (or fail to agree upon mutually acceptable terms with the Lessee regarding such Renewal Option), then the Lessee shall be deemed automatically and irrevocably to have exercised the Purchase Option under this Section 22.1, specifying as the purchase date the Expiration Date for such Leased Asset.

22.2. Acceleration of Purchase Obligation.

(a) The Lessee shall be obligated to purchase the Lessor's interest in all of the Leased Assets for an amount equal to the sum of the Lease Balances for all of the Leased Assets (i) automatically and without notice upon the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in clause (f) or (g) of Section 20.1 (notwithstanding any prior election to exercise its Purchase Option pursuant to Section 22.1) and (ii) as provided for in Section 20.2(a)(v) within ten (10) Business Days after written demand of the Lessor upon the occurrence of any other Event of Default.

(b) The Lessee shall be obligated to purchase the Lessor's interest in any Leased Assets for an amount equal to the Lease Balance within ten (10) Business Days after written demand of the Lessor at any time during the term when (i) the Lessor ceases to have title to such Leased Assets as contemplated by Section 15.1 or (ii) any related Security Document to which the Lessee is a party shall cease to be in full force and effect, or shall cease to give the Lessor and/or the Collateral Agent the Liens, rights, powers and privileges purported to be created thereby. The Lessee's obligations under clause (ii) of this Section 22.2(b) shall not apply to any Leased Asset for which the Base Date has not occurred unless the defect in the Security Document resulted from the Lessee's acts or failures to act in accordance with this Lease and the other Operative Documents to which it is a party.

ARTICLE XXIII

RENEWAL TERMS

23.1. Renewal.

(a) Subject to the conditions set forth herein, and unless otherwise specified in the Lease Supplement applicable to any Leased Assets, the Lessee shall have the option (the "Renewal Option"), to extend the Lease Term for any Leased Asset (the "Renewal Term") with each such Renewal Term to commence on the first day following the Expiration Date for such Leased Asset then in effect. The Renewal Option with respect to each Leased Asset shall be subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions:

(i) the Lessor and each Lender shall have consented to the renewal of the Lease in respect of such Leased Asset after receipt of Lessee's request therefor delivered to the Lessor and the Agent not later than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the Expiration Date for such Leased Asset, such consent to be given or withheld in their sole and absolute discretion,

(ii) (A) no Event of Default under this Lease shall have occurred and be continuing, and (B) by exercise of such Renewal Option, the Lessee shall be deemed to represent to the Lessor as to the matters set forth in clause (A) of this condition (ii); and

(iii) the Lessee shall not have exercised the Termination Option or the Purchase Option for such Leased Asset under this Lease.

(b) Each extension of this Lease for a Renewal Term shall be subject to the terms of this Lease, together with such amendments and modifications, if any, required to reflect the mutually

acceptable terms agreed to by the Lessee, the Lessor and each Lender in respect of such Renewal Term.

(c) In the event that the Lessor and each Lender have not agreed to extend this Lease in respect of a Leased Asset at least ninety (90) days prior to the Expiration Date for such Leased Asset, the Lessee's request for extension shall be deemed to have been rejected.

ARTICLE XXIV

TERMINATION OPTION

24.1. Option to Terminate. Subject to the fulfillment of each of the conditions set forth in this Section 24.1, the Lessee shall have the option (the "Termination Option") to market and complete the sale of Lessor's interest in all of the Leased Assets under any Lease Supplement (unless provisions with respect to joinder of remarketing options for the Leased Assets under more than one Lease Supplement are set forth in a Lease Supplement, in which case such exercise must comply with such provisions) on the Expiration Date for such Leased Asset. The Lessee's effective exercise and consummation of the Termination Option shall be subject to the due and timely fulfillment of each of the following provisions as to such Leased Asset as of the dates set forth below.

(a) Not later than six (6) months prior to such Expiration Date for such Leased Asset, the Lessee shall give to the Lessor written notice of the Lessee's exercise of the Termination Option, which exercise shall not preclude Lessee's right to exercise thereafter the Purchase Option with respect to such Leased Asset (in which case the exercise of the Purchase Option shall prevail and be irrevocable). On the date of the Lessee's notice to the Lessor of the Lessee's exercise of the Termination Option, no Event of Default shall exist and, in the case of each Construction Property included in such Leased Assets, the Improvements on such Property shall have been constructed in accordance with the Plans and Specifications and all conditions to Substantial Completion for such Construction Property shall have been satisfied.

(b) Not later than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to such Expiration Date, the Lessee shall deliver to the Lessor an Environmental Audit for each Property included in such Leased Assets. Such Environmental Audit shall be prepared by an environmental consultant selected by the Lessee and approved in advance by the Lessor and shall contain conclusions satisfactory to the Lessor as to the environmental status of such Property. If any such Environmental Audit indicates any exceptions, the Lessee shall have also delivered a supplemental environmental assessment by such environmental consultant in form and substance satisfactory to the Lessor and dated prior to such Expiration Date showing the completion of the remediation of such exceptions in compliance with all Requirements of Law.

(c) On such Expiration Date, no Event of Default or Default shall exist and none of such Leased Assets shall be subject to a Permitted Contest.

(d) On such Expiration Date, the Lessee shall have completed all Modifications, restoration and rebuilding of such Leased Assets pursuant to Section 14.1 and 18.1 (as the case may be) and shall have fulfilled all of the conditions and requirements in connection therewith pursuant to said Sections, regardless of whether the same shall be within the Lessee's control. The Lessee shall have also paid the cost of all Modifications commenced prior to such Expiration Date. The Lessee shall not have been excused pursuant to Section 16.1 from complying with any Requirements of Law that involved the extension of the ultimate imposition of such Requirements of Law beyond such Expiration Date.

(e) During the Marketing Period, the Lessee shall use best efforts to sell the Lessor's interest in such Leased Assets and will attempt to obtain the highest purchase price therefor and for not less than the Fair Market Sales Value of such Leased Assets. The Lessee will be responsible for

hiring brokers and making such Leased Assets available for inspection by prospective purchasers. The Lessee shall promptly upon request permit inspection of such Leased Assets and any maintenance records relating to such Leased Assets by any potential purchasers, and shall otherwise do all things necessary to sell and deliver possession of such Leased Assets to any purchaser. All such marketing of such Leased Assets shall be at the Lessee's sole expense. The Lessee's agency under this clause shall, for the first three (3) months of the Marketing Period, be on an exclusive basis. In the event the Lessee is unable to procure during such period a bona fide bid from a non-Affiliated Person with demonstrable financial capacity to consummate such bid for such Leased Asset, from and after such third month, the agency hereunder shall be on a non-exclusive basis.

(f) The Lessee shall submit all offers to purchase such Leased Assets to the Lessor and the Lessor will have the right to review the same and the right to submit one or more of its own offers. All offers shall be on an all-cash basis unless the Lessor shall otherwise agree in its sole discretion. No purchaser shall be the Lessee or an Affiliate of the Lessee. Each offer must specify such Expiration Date as the closing date unless the Lessor shall otherwise agree in its sole discretion.

(g) In connection with any such sale of Lessor's interest in any Leased Assets, the Lessee will provide to the purchaser all customary "seller's" indemnities, representations and warranties regarding absence of Liens (except Lessor Liens) and the condition of such Leased Assets, including, without limitation, an environmental indemnity for any Property, to the extent the same are required by the purchaser. The Lessee shall have obtained, at its cost and expense, all required Governmental Actions and shall have made all filings as required by all Requirements of Law in order to carry out and complete the transfer of such Leased Assets. As to the Lessor, any such sale of Lessor's interest in any Leased Assets shall be made on an "as is, with all faults" and quitclaim basis without representation or warranty by the Lessor other than the absence of Lessor Liens. Any agreement as to such sale shall be made subject to the Lessor's rights hereunder.

(h) The Lessee shall pay directly, and not from the sale proceeds, all prorations, credits, costs and expenses of the sale of Lessor's interest in such Leased Assets, whether incurred by the Lessor or the Lessee, including the cost of all title insurance, surveys, environmental reports, appraisals, the Lessor's reasonable attorneys' fees, the Lessee's attorneys' fees, commissions, escrow fees, recording fees, and all applicable documentary, transfer, recording and other taxes.

(i) The Lessee shall pay to the Lessor on or prior to such Expiration Date (or to such other Person as the Lessor shall notify the Lessee in writing) an amount equal to the Guaranteed Residual Value for such Leased Assets, plus all Base Rent, Supplemental Rent and all other amounts hereunder which have accrued or will accrue with respect thereto prior to or as of such Expiration Date plus the amount, if any, by which the Fair Market Sales Value of such Leased Asset has been reduced by excess wear and tear of any Leased Asset.

(j) (i) If the Lessee complies with all of the conditions and all of its obligations under clauses (a) through (i) above and arranges for the sale of such Leased Assets, then, subject to the terms of Section 24.1(l), the purchase of Lessor's interest in such Leased Assets shall be consummated on the Expiration Date and the Gross Proceeds of the sale of such Leased Assets shall be paid directly to the Lessor. If the Gross Proceeds received by Lessor exceeds the Lease Balance for such Leased Assets plus all other costs, fees, expenses and other payments outstanding hereunder as of such date, then such excess together with the amount of the Guaranteed Residual Value shall be paid to the Lessee on the Expiration Date. If the Gross Proceeds received by the Lessor are less than the Lease Balance for such Leased Assets, then the Gross Proceeds shall be paid and applied as follows on the Expiration Date: first, to the Lessor in an amount equal to the difference between the Permitted Lease Balance and the Guaranteed Residual Value for such Leased Assets; second, to the Lessee in an amount equal to the Guaranteed Residual Value for such Leased Assets; third, to the Lessor in an amount equal to the difference between the Lease Balance and the Permitted Lease Balance for such Leased Asset; and fourth, to the Lessee to the extent the remaining Gross Proceeds, if any, are in excess of the Lease Balance for such Leased Assets and all carrying charges and selling costs.

(ii) If the Lessee complies with all of the conditions and all of its obligations under clauses (a) through (i) above but does not arrange for the sale of such Leased Assets or the Lessor refuses to consummate the sale pursuant to Section 24.1(l) below, then the Lessee shall surrender all of its rights in the Leased Assets to the Lessor on such Expiration Date as required by Sections 13.2 and 25.2.

(iii) If the Lessee does not comply with any of the conditions or any of its obligations under clauses (a) through (i) above with respect to such Leased Assets, then the Lessor shall declare by written notice to the Lessee the Termination Option with respect to such Leased Assets to be null and void (whether or not it has been theretofore exercised by the Lessee), in which event all of the Lessee's rights under this Section 24.1 shall immediately terminate and the Lessee shall be obligated to purchase Lessor's interest in such Leased Assets as if it had exercised its option under Section 22.1 on the Expiration Date.

(k) In the event that the sale of all of such Leased Assets is not consummated on such Expiration Date, but such sale is consummated any time thereafter, the Lessor shall pay and apply the Gross Proceeds, promptly after the consummation of the sale of such Leased Assets, in the manner specified in the third sentence of Section 24.1(j)(i) above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 24.1, Lessor shall not itself lease such Leased Assets or occupy such Leased Assets for use in its own business after such Expiration Date, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to sell such Leased Assets (including listing such Leased Assets with a real estate broker) to one or more unaffiliated third parties and shall in all events sell such Leased Assets no later than five (5) years after obtaining possession of such Leased Assets and shall disburse the proceeds of such sale as set forth above.

(l) Except as expressly set forth herein, the Lessee shall have no right, power or authority to bind the Lessor in connection with any proposed sale of Lessor's interest in any Leased Asset. The Lessor shall have the right, but shall be under no duty, to solicit offers, to inquire into the efforts of the Lessee to obtain offers or otherwise to take action in connection with any such sale of Lessor's interest in such Leased Assets, other than as expressly provided in this Section 24.1. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Lessor shall not be obligated to sell any Leased Asset or consummate any sale arranged under this Section 24.1 if the Gross Proceeds plus the Guaranteed Residual Value paid to Lessor is less than the Lease Balance for such Leased Asset plus the other costs, fees, expenses and other payments outstanding hereunder.

24.2. Certain Obligations Continue. During the Marketing Period for any Leased Assets, the obligation of the Lessee to pay Rent shall continue undiminished until payment in full to the Lessor of the Guaranteed Residual Value and all other amounts due to the Lessor with respect to such Leased Assets under the Operative Documents to which the Lessee is a party.

24.3. Late Payment. If Lessor does not receive all payments due under this Lease and any other Operative Document (including all payments required hereunder on such Expiration Date), Lessee may nonetheless tender to Lessor the full Purchase Option Price and all amounts then due under this Lease, together with interest on the total Purchase Option Price computed at the Overdue Rate from such Expiration Date to the date of tender and all other costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Lessor, the Collateral Agent and any Lender in connection with such Event of Default and their respective rights and remedies under this Lease and the other Operative Documents, and if presented with such a tender within thirty (30) days after such Expiration Date, Lessor must accept the tender and promptly thereafter deliver any escrowed proceeds, and all other documents as set forth in Section 25.1 hereof.

26.3. Tax Indemnity.

(a) The Lessee agrees, whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, to indemnify, protect, defend, save and hold harmless each Indemnitee, on an After Tax Basis, from and against, any and all Impositions that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee (whether because of action or omission by such Indemnitee or otherwise), whether or not such Indemnitee shall also be indemnified as to any such Impositions by any other Person and whether or not such Impositions arises or accrues prior to the Closing Date or after the Expiration Date applicable to any Leased Asset.

(b) Any Imposition indemnifiable under this Section 26.3 shall be paid directly when due to the applicable taxing authority if direct payment is practicable and permitted. If direct payment to the applicable taxing authority is not permitted or is otherwise not made, any amount payable to an Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 26.3 shall be paid within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written demand therefor from such Indemnitee accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail the amount so payable, but not before two (2) Business Days prior to the date that the relevant Taxes are due. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 26.3 directly to the Indemnitee entitled thereto shall be made in immediately available funds at such bank or to such account as specified by the payee in written directions to the payor, or, if no such direction shall have been given, by check of the payor payable to the order of the payee by certified mail, postage prepaid at its address. Upon the request of any Indemnitee with respect to an Imposition that the Lessee is required to pay, the Lessee shall furnish such Indemnitee the original or a certified copy of a receipt for the Lessee's payment of such Imposition or such other evidence of payment as is reasonably acceptable to such Indemnitee.

(c) Except in the case of a payment to any Lender, at the Lessee's request, the amount of any indemnity payment by the Lessee pursuant to this Section 26.3 shall be verified and certified by an independent public accounting firm mutually acceptable to the Lessee and the Indemnitee. The Indemnitee shall provide such independent public accounting firm, on a confidential basis, the requisite financial information. The costs of such verification shall be borne by the Lessee unless such verification shall result in an adjustment in the Lessee's favor in an amount not less than $10,000, in which case such fee shall be paid by the Indemnitee. In no event shall the Lessee have the right to review the Indemnitee's tax returns or receive any other confidential information from the Indemnitee in connection with such verification. Any information provided to such independent public accounting firm by any Person shall be and remain the exclusive property of such Person and shall be deemed by the parties to be (and the independent public accounting firm will confirm in writing that they will treat such information as) the private, proprietary and confidential property of such Person, and no Person other than such Person and the independent public accounting firm shall be entitled thereto and all such materials shall be returned to such Person. Such independent public accounting firm shall be requested to make its determination within thirty (30) days of the Lessee's request for verification and the computations of the independent public accounting firm shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Lessee and the Indemnitee. The parties agree that the sole responsibility of the independent public accounting firm shall be to verify the amount of a payment pursuant to this Lease and that matters of interpretation of this Lease are not within the scope of the independent public accounting firm's responsibilities.

(d) The Lessor represents and warrants that it will not, prior to the termination of this Lease, claim ownership of (or any tax benefits, including depreciation, with respect to) the Leased Assets for any income tax purposes, it being understood that the Lessee is and will remain the owner of the Leased Assets for such income tax purposes until the termination of this Lease.

26.4. Proceedings in Respect of Claims. In case any action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against any Indemnitee in respect of any Claim for which such Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified hereunder, such Indemnitee shall notify the Lessee of the commencement thereof, and the Lessee shall be entitled, at its expense, to participate in, and, to the extent that the Lessee desires to, assume and control the defense thereof; provided, however, that the Lessee shall have acknowledged in writing its obligation to fully indemnify such Indemnitee in respect of such action, suit or proceeding, and, the Lessee shall keep such Indemnitee fully apprised of the status of such action, suit or proceeding and shall provide such Indemnitee with all information with respect to such action, suit or proceeding as such Indemnitee shall reasonably request, and provided, further, that the Lessee shall not be entitled to assume and control the defense of any such action, suit or proceeding if and to the extent that, (A) in

the reasonable opinion of such Indemnitee, (x) such action, suit or proceeding involves any risk of imposition of criminal liability or any risk of imposition of material civil liability on such Indemnitee beyond that for which the Indemnitee is jointly and severally liable with the Lessor or will involve a material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of, or the creation of any Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) on any Leased Asset or any part thereof unless, in the case of civil liability, the Lessee shall have posted a bond or other security satisfactory to the relevant Indemnitees in respect to such risk or (y) the control of such action, suit or proceeding would involve a conflict of interest on the part of the Lessee, (B) such proceeding involves Claims not fully indemnified by the Lessee which the Lessee and the Indemnitee have been unable to sever from the indemnified claim(s), or (C) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The Indemnitee may participate in a reasonable manner at its own expense and with its own counsel in any proceeding conducted by the Lessee in accordance with the foregoing. The Lessee shall not enter into any settlement or other compromise with respect to any Claim which is entitled to be indemnified under Section 26.1, 26.2 or 26.3 without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld in the case of a money settlement not involving an admission of liability of such Indemnitee; provided, however, that in the event that such Indemnitee withholds consent to any settlement or other compromise, the Lessee shall not be required to indemnify such Indemnitee under Section 26.1, 26.2 or 26.3 to the extent that the applicable Claim (x) is for legal fees and expenses incurred after the date of the proposed settlement or (y) results in a judgment in excess of such offered money settlement.

Each Indemnitee shall at the expense of the Lessee supply the Lessee with such information and documents reasonably requested by the Lessee and in the possession of such Indemnitee as are necessary or advisable for the Lessee to participate in any action, suit or proceeding to the extent permitted by this Section 26.4. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under Section 20.1(a), (f) or (g), no Indemnitee shall enter into any settlement or other compromise with respect to any Claim for which it is entitled to be indemnified under Section 26.1, 26.2 or 26.3 without the prior written consent of the Lessee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless such Indemnitee waives its right to be indemnified under Section 26.1, 26.2 or 26.3 with respect to such Claim.

The Lessee shall forthwith upon demand reimburse any Indemnitee for any sum or sums expended by it and for which it is indemnified pursuant to Section 26.1, 26.2 or 26.3 or, upon request of any Indemnitee, will pay such amounts directly. Upon reimbursement of payment in full of any Claim by the Lessee pursuant to Section 26.1, 26.2 or 26.3 to or on behalf of an Indemnitee, the Lessee, without any further action, shall be subrogated to any and all claims that such Indemnitee may have relating thereto (including claims in respect of insurance policies maintained by such Indemnitee at its own expense), and such Indemnitee shall execute such instruments of assignment and conveyance, evidence of claims and payment and such other documents, instruments and agreements as may be necessary to preserve any such claims and otherwise cooperate with the Lessee and give such further assurances as are necessary or advisable to enable the Lessee vigorously to pursue such claims.

(a) It is the intent of the parties hereto that: (i) this Lease constitutes an operating lease from the Lessor to the Lessee for the purposes of the Lessee's financial reporting, (ii) the Lease and other transactions contemplated hereby shall be treated as a financing arrangement, and Lessee shall be treated as the owner of each Leased Asset for Federal, State and local and other income and property tax and bankruptcy purposes and (iii) the obligations of the Lessee to pay Base Rent and any part of the Lease Balance shall be treated as payments of interest and principal, respectively, for Federal, State, local and other income tax and bankruptcy purposes and the Lessee alone shall be entitled to take any deduction, credit allowance or other reporting, filing or other tax position consistent with such characterizations. The Lessee has granted a mortgage lien on and security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to each Leased Asset to, or for the benefit of, the Lessor, pursuant to each Mortgage made by Lessee, to secure the payment and performance by the Lessee of all of its obligations under the Lease and the other Operative Documents that are attributable or allocable to the Lessor Contribution of the Advances comprising the Lease Balance for such Leased Assets. Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not, nor will it permit any Affiliate to at any time, take any action or fail to take any action, including any action with respect to the preparation or filing of any income tax return, including an amended income tax return, to the extent that such action or such failure to take action would be inconsistent with the intention of the parties expressed in this Section 30.1.

(b) Specifically, without limiting the generality of clause (a) of this Section 30.1, the parties hereto intend and agree that in the event of any insolvency or receivership proceedings or a petition under the United States bankruptcy laws or any other applicable insolvency laws or statute of the United States of America or any State or Commonwealth thereof affecting the Lessee, the Lessor, any other Person or any collective actions, the transactions evidenced by the Operative Documents shall be regarded as loans made by the Lessor to the Lessee.

(c) Accordingly, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, Lessor and the Lessee agree and declare that (i) the transactions contemplated hereby are intended to have a dual, rather than single, form and (ii) all references in this Lease to the "Lease" of any Leased Asset which fail to reference such dual form do so as a matter of convenience only and do not reflect the intent of Lessor and the Lessee as to the true form of such arrangements.

(d) The Lessee acknowledges and agrees that it has retained accounting, tax and legal advisors to assist it in structuring the transactions contemplated by this Lease and the other Operative Documents, and Lessee is not relying on any representations of Lessor regarding the proper treatment of such transactions for accounting, tax or any other purposes, although it is understood that the Lessor will report such transactions consistently with Section 30.1(a).

ARTICLE XXXI

PAYMENT OF EXPENSES; YIELD PROTECTION

31.1. Transaction Expenses.

(a) The Lessee shall pay, or cause to be paid, from time to time all Transaction Expenses in respect of the transactions taking place on the Closing Date and on each Funding Date on such respective date; provided, however, that, if the Lessee has not received written invoices therefor two (2) days prior to such date, such Transaction Expenses shall be paid on the date thirty-five (35) days after the Lessee has received written invoices therefor.

(b) The Lessee shall pay or cause to be paid (i) all reasonable Transaction Expenses from time to time incurred by the Lessor, the Collateral Agent, and the Agent in entering into any future amendments or supplements with respect to any of the Operative Documents, or giving or withholding of waivers of consents hereto or thereto (whether or not such amendments, supplements, consents or waivers are ultimately entered into or granted), in each case which have been requested or approved by the Lessee, (ii) all reasonable Transaction Expenses incurred by the Lessor, the Collateral Agent and the Agent in connection with any purchase of any Leased Asset by the Lessee or other Person pursuant to this Lease and (iii) all Transaction Expenses incurred by the Lessor, the Collateral Agent, the Agent and each Lender in respect of enforcement of any of their rights or remedies against the Lessee in respect of the Operative Documents.

31.2. Brokers' Fees and Stamp Taxes. The Lessee shall pay or cause to be paid any brokers' fees and any and all stamp, transfer, recording and other similar taxes, fees and excises, if any, including any interest and penalties, which are payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Lease and the other Operative Documents. The Lessor and the Lessee each represent to the other that it has not employed any brokers in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents.

31.3. Funding Losses. If (i) any payment of Base Rent or any portion of a Lease Balance is made on any day other than a Payment Date, (ii) any Advance is not accepted by Lessee on the date specified therefor in the related Funding Request or the Lessee revokes such Funding Request or (iii) the Reserve Adjusted LIBOR applicable to any Advance is converted to the Base Rate pursuant to Section 31.4 or 31.5 on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period, then the Lessee shall reimburse the Lessor within fifteen (15) days after demand for any resulting loss or expense incurred

by the Lessor and each Lender as a result thereof, including (without limitation) any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, but excluding loss of margin for the period after any such payment, provided that the Lessor or such Lender, as the case may be, shall have delivered to the Lessee a certificate in reasonable detail as to the amount of such loss or expense, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

31.4. Basis for Determining Reserve Adjusted LIBOR Inadequate or Unfair. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

(a) deposits in dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to Lessor or any Lender in the relevant market for such Interest Period, or

(b) the Lessor or any Lender advises the Lessee that Reserve Adjusted LIBOR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lessor or such Lender of funding Advances or Loans, as the case may be, for such Interest Period,

the Lessor or such Lender shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Lessee, whereupon until the Lessor or such Lender notifies the Lessee that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (i) the obligation of the Lessor or such Lender to make Advances or Loans, as the case may be, based on the Reserve Adjusted LIBOR shall be suspended and all future Advances and Loans shall be made on the basis of the Base Rate and (ii) each outstanding Advance and Loan shall begin to bear interest based upon the Base Rate on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto.

31.5. Illegality. If, on or after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Lessor or any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Lessor or such Lender to make, maintain or fund its Advances or Loans, as the case may be, based on the Reserve Adjusted LIBOR and the Lessor or such Lender shall so notify the Lessee, then until the Lessor or such Lender notifies the Lessee that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of the Lessor to make Advances or of such Lender to make Loans, as the case may be, based on the Reserve Adjusted LIBOR shall be suspended and all future Advances by the Lessor or Loans by such Lender, as the case may be, shall be made on the basis of the Base Rate. If such notice is given each Advance by the Lessor and each Loan by such Lender shall begin to bear interest based upon the Alternate Base Rate either (A) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto or (B) immediately, if the Lessor or such Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Advance or Loan, as the case may be, to such day.

31.6. Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

(a) In the event that the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or compliance by the Lessor or any Lender with any request or directive after the date hereof (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency (except for any adoption or change formally adopted and publicly announced prior to the date hereof but with an effective date on or after the date hereof):

(i) does or shall subject the Lessor or any Lender to any additional tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Operative Documents or any Advance or Loan made by it, or change the basis or the applicable rate of taxation of payments to the Lessor or such Lender of principal, interest or any other amount payable hereunder or under any other Operative

Document (except for the imposition of or change in any tax on or measured by the overall net income of the Lessor or such Lender);

(ii) does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, insurance assessment, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, the Lessor or such Lender which are not otherwise included in determination of the rate of interest on Advances or Loans hereunder; or

(iii) does or shall impose on the Lessor or such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Lessor or such Lender of making or maintaining Advances or Loans, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, then in any such case, the Lessee shall promptly pay to the Lessor or such Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate the Lessor or such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.

(b) If Lessor or any Lender shall have determined that, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency (except for any adoption or change formally adopted and publicly announced prior to the date hereof but with an effective date on or after the date hereof), or if the Lessor or such Lender shall have determined that a change in the risk weighting of its Lessor Commitment or Lender Commitment, as the case may be, is necessary, and any of the foregoing has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of the Lessor or such Lender (or any entity directly or indirectly controlling any of such Persons) as a consequence of its obligations under the Operative Documents to a level below that which it could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within fifteen (15) days after demand by the Lessor or such Lender, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor or such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lessor or such Lender (or its controlling entities) for such reduction.

(c) The Lessor and each Lender will promptly notify the Lessee of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will require the Lessee to make payments pursuant to this Section; provided, however, that Lessee shall have no obligation to make any payment to any demanding party under this Section 31.6 on account of any such increased costs relating to any Interest Period that ended more than six (6) months prior to such demand for payment or, if any increased costs or reduced amounts do not relate to a particular Interest Period, on account of any such increased costs or reduced amounts about which the demanding party first knew or should have known more than six (6) months prior to its first demand for payment. A certificate of the Person claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth in reasonable detail its computation of the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, the affected Person may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(d) The Lessor agrees to exercise any rights available to it under Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 3.06 of the Loan Agreement upon request by the Lessee.

(b) The Lessee covenants and agrees pursuant to Section 26.1 hereof to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all Claims by reason of the Lessee's failure to comply with the provisions of this Section 32.4, other than to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any such Indemnitee.
