ARTICLE 3
RENT
3.1 RENT.
3.1.1 RENT GENERALLY. Subtenant will pay to Sublandlord in lawful
money of the United States of America the Base Rent and Additional Rent
during the Term. Payment of Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be paid
at Sublandlord's address set forth in the Basic Sublease Provisions or at
such other place or to such other Person as Sublandlord from time to time
may designate in writing. If any payment owing hereunder shall otherwise
be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be due on
the next succeeding Business Day. Subtenant's covenant to pay Base Rent,
Additional Rent and any other sums due under this Sublease shall be
independent of all other covenants contained in this Sublease.
3.1.2 MASTER LEASE RENT. Without limiting any other provisions of
this Article 3 or Article 29 below, Subtenant hereby agrees to pay, on or
before the date which is five (5) Business Days prior to the due date
under the Master Lease, any and all amounts due under the Master Lease
(including, without, limitation, "Base Term Rent", as defined in the
Master Lease) (collectively, the "Master Lease Rent") and to
simultaneously mail evidence thereof to Sublandlord. The date which is
five (5) Business Days prior to the due date of any amounts due under the
Master Lease is hereinafter defined as the "Master Lease Rent Due Date".
3.2 BASE RENT. Subtenant shall pay Base Rent to Sublandlord in advance
on the first day of each calendar month (which Base Rent shall, for accounting
purposes, consist of Annual Base Rent accruing during the respective Fiscal
Year in equal monthly installments, but which Base Rent shall be payable for
each month in the respective proportions described in Exhibit F); provided,
however, that the first monthly installment shall be payable on the
Commencement Date and the first and last month's payments shall be prorated as
to any partial month.
3.3 ADDITIONAL RENT. In addition to the Base Rent, Subtenant shall pay
to Sublandlord Additional Rent in quarterly installments as provided in Section
3.3.1.
3.3.1 QUARTERLY CALCULATION AND PAYMENT OF ADDITIONAL RENT.
Subtenant shall calculate and pay Additional Rent for each Fiscal
Quarter. The amount of the Additional Rent for the Second, Third and
Fourth Fiscal Quarters shall account for any interim reconciliations made
with respect to prior Fiscal Quarters in such Fiscal Year as certified by
Subtenant to Sublandlord as provided by this Section 3.3.1, but subject
to a final reconciliation as provided by Section 3.3.2. Within thirty
(30) days after the end of each Fiscal Quarter, Subtenant shall deliver
to Sublandlord an Officer's Certificate setting forth the calculation of
Additional Rent for such Fiscal Quarter. If the Additional Rent for the
period beginning on the first day of the current Fiscal Year and ending
on the last day of the Fiscal Quarter just ended exceeds the sum of
quarterly payments on account thereof previously made by Subtenant,
Subtenant shall pay such deficiency to Sublandlord along with the
Officer's Certificate. If the Additional Rent
6
14
for the period beginning on the first day of the current Fiscal Year and
ending on the last day of the Fiscal Quarter just ended is less than the
sum of quarterly payments on account thereof previously made by
Subtenant, Subtenant shall be entitled to deduct from its next Additional
Rent payment(s) an amount equal to such difference. In calculating
Additional Rent for any Fiscal Quarter, the Golf Course Revenue or Other
Revenue, as the case may be, for the period beginning on the first day of
the current Fiscal Year and ending on the last day of such Fiscal Quarter
shall be compared to the Baseline Golf Course Revenue or Baseline Other
Revenue for the same period as scheduled on Exhibit G attached hereto
(which Exhibit G baseline period calculation shall be prorated based upon
the actual number of days in any partial Fiscal Quarter occurring at the
beginning or end of the Term).
3.3.2 ANNUAL RECONCILIATION. Within 60 days after the end of each
Fiscal Year, or after the expiration or termination of this Sublease,
Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord an Officer's Certificate setting
forth (i) the Golf Course Revenue and the Other Revenue for the Fiscal
Year just ended, and (ii) a comparison of the amount of Additional Rent
actually paid during such Fiscal Year versus the amount of Additional
Rent actually owing on the basis of the annual calculation of the Golf
Course Revenue and the Other Revenue. If the Additional Rent for such
Fiscal Year exceeds the sum of the quarterly payments previously paid by
Subtenant on account thereof, Subtenant shall pay such deficiency to
Sublandlord along with such Officer's Certificate. If the Additional
Rent for such Fiscal Year is less than the amount previously paid by
Subtenant on account thereof, Sublandlord shall, at Sublandlord's option,
either (i) remit to Subtenant its check in an amount equal to such
difference, or (ii) grant Subtenant a credit against the payment of
Additional Rent next coming due; provided, however, that if the amount of
Additional Rent due for the next Fiscal Quarter is insufficient to
exhaust such credit, Sublandlord shall remit to Subtenant its check in
the amount of any remaining excess. The amount of the reconciliation
payment, whether in favor of Sublandlord or Subtenant, shall bear
interest at a rate equal to the rate payable on 90-day U.S. Treasury
Bills as of January 1 of the year following the close of such Fiscal Year
until the amount of such difference shall be paid or otherwise
discharged.
3.3.3 RECORD-KEEPING. Subtenant shall utilize an accounting system
for the Subleased Property in accordance with its usual and customary
practices and in accordance with accrual basis accounting principles
applied on a basis consistent with the Other Leased Property which will
accurately record all Golf Course Revenue and Other Revenue. Subtenant
shall retain reasonably adequate records for each Fiscal Year conforming
to such accounting system until at least five years after the expiration
of such
7
15
Fiscal Year (and in any event until the reconciliation described in
Section 3.3.2 above for such Fiscal Year has been made).
3.3.4 AUDITS. Sublandlord, at its own expense except as provided
hereinbelow, shall have the right from time to time directly or through
its accountants to audit the information set forth in the Officer's
Certificate referred to in Section 3.3.2 and in connection with such
audits to examine Subtenant's books and records with respect thereto
(including supporting data, sales tax returns and Subtenant's work
papers); provided, however, that any audit of the information contained
in an Officer's Certificate referred to in Section 3.3.2 must be
conducted, and the results thereof delivered to Subtenant, on or before
one (1) year after delivery to Sublandlord of such Officer's Certificate.
At the end of such one (1) year period, the information contained in the
Officer's Certificate shall be final and binding upon Sublandlord and
Subtenant, except with respect to any amount therein which Sublandlord
has challenged in writing delivered to Subtenant on or before expiration
of such one (1) year period and except that in the event that any audit
by Sublandlord discloses that Subtenant has understated any revenue item
by more than Fifty Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($50,000.00) and such
understatement results in Golf Course Revenue and Other Revenue,
collectively, being understated by more than five percent (5%) of the
actual amount thereof, then Sublandlord shall have the right to audit all
prior years' information which has not theretofore been audited by
Sublandlord. If any such audit discloses a deficiency in the payment of
Additional Rent, Subtenant shall forthwith pay to Sublandlord the amount
of the deficiency, as finally agreed or determined, together with
interest at the Overdue Rate from the date when said payment should have
been made to the date of payment thereof; provided, however, that as to
any audit that is commenced more than 12 months after the date Golf
Course Revenue or Other Revenue for any Fiscal Year is reported by
Subtenant to Sublandlord (i.e., to the extent permitted above), the
deficiency, if any, with respect to such Golf Course Revenue or Other
Revenue shall bear interest as permitted herein only from the date such
determination of deficiency is made unless such deficiency is the result
of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Subtenant. If
any such audit discloses that the Golf Course Revenue or Other Revenue
for any Fiscal Year exceeds the Golf Course Revenue or Other Revenue
reported by Subtenant by more than five percent (5%), Subtenant shall pay
the reasonable cost of such audit and examination. Subtenant shall
maintain, throughout the term of this Sublease, all books and records
relating to Golf Course Revenue and Other Revenue received during such
term.
3.4 ADDITIONAL CHARGES. In addition to the Base Rent, Additional Rent
and Master Lease Rent, (1) Subtenant shall also pay and discharge when due and
payable all other amounts, liabilities, obligations and Impositions which
Subtenant assumes or agrees to pay under this Sublease, and (2) in the event of
any failure on the part of Subtenant to pay any of those items referred to in
clause (1) above, Subtenant shall also pay and discharge every fine, penalty,
interest and cost which may be added for non-payment or late payment of such
items (the items referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above being referred to
herein collectively as the "Additional
8
16
Charges"). Except as otherwise provided in this Sublease or as otherwise
required by any third party entitled to receipt of Additional Charges, all
Additional Charges shall be due and payable thirty (30) days after either
Sublandlord or the applicable third party who may be billing Subtenant therefor
shall deliver an invoice to Subtenant therefor. To the extent that Subtenant
pays any Additional Charges to Sublandlord pursuant to any requirements of this
Sublease, which charges are due and payable to a third party, Sublandlord shall
pay such charges to such third party and, in any event, Subtenant shall be
relieved of its obligation to pay such Additional Charges to the entity to
which they would otherwise be due. Alternatively, with respect to Additional
Charges payable to a third party, Subtenant may pay such charges directly to
such third party and thereby be relieved of any obligation to pay such charges
to Sublandlord.
3.5 LATE PAYMENT OF RENT. Subtenant hereby acknowledges that late payment
by Subtenant to Sublandlord of Base Rent, Additional Rent or Additional Charges
will cause Sublandlord to incur costs not contemplated under the terms of this
Sublease, the exact amount of which is presently anticipated to be extremely
difficult to ascertain. Such costs may include processing and accounting
charges and late charges which may be imposed on Sublandlord by the terms of
any mortgage, deed of trust or lease covering the Subleased Property and other
expenses of a similar or dissimilar nature. Accordingly, if any installment or
payment of Base Rent, Additional Rent or Additional Charges (but only as to
those Additional Charges which are payable directly to Sublandlord) shall not
be paid or made within five (5) Business Days after its due date, Subtenant
will pay Sublandlord on demand, as Additional Charges, a late charge equal to
three percent (3%) of such installment or payment; provided, however, that if
such payment or installment is not paid or made within ten (10) Business Days
after its due date, the late charge shall be five percent (5%) of such
installment or payment. The parties agree that this late charge represents a
fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Sublandlord will incur by reason
of late payment by Subtenant. In addition to said late charge, if any
installment or payment of Base Rent, Additional Rent or Additional Charges (but
only as to those Additional Charges which are payable directly to Sublandlord)
shall not be paid on, or made by, its due date, the amount unpaid shall bear
interest, from the date such installment or payment was due until the date of
payment thereof, computed at the Overdue Rate on the amount of such delinquent
installment or payment, and Subtenant will pay such interest to Sublandlord on
demand, as Additional Charges. The payment of such late charge or such
interest, or both (as the case may be), shall not constitute a waiver, nor
excuse or cure, of any default under this Sublease, nor prevent Sublandlord
from exercising any other rights and remedies available to Sublandlord.
3.6 NET SUBLEASE. The Base Rent, Additional Rent and Additional Charges
shall be paid absolutely net to Sublandlord and without notice or demand and
without set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, abatement, suspension, determent,
deduction or defense, so that this Sublease shall yield to Sublandlord the full
amount of the installments of Base Rent, Additional Rent and, subject to
Section 3.4 above, Additional Charges throughout the Term. The Master Lease
Rent shall be paid to Lessor without notice or demand and without set-off,
counterclaim,
9
17
recoupment, abatement, suspension, determent, deduction or defense, except as
otherwise expressly permitted in the Master Lease.
ARTICLE 4
IMPOSITIONS
4.1 PAYMENT OF IMPOSITIONS. Subject to the terms of Article 22 hereof,
Subtenant will pay, or cause to be paid, all Impositions before any fine,
penalty, interest or cost may be added for non-payment, such payments to be
made directly to the taxing authorities where feasible. All payments of
Impositions shall be subject to Subtenant's right of contest pursuant to the
provisions of Article 12. Without limitation of the foregoing, no later than
fifteen (15) days prior to the due date of any Impositions, Subtenant shall
furnish to Sublandlord copies of the ▇▇▇▇(s) or invoices(s) for such
Impositions and copies of Subtenant's check or other evidence of payment, and
as soon as reasonably available after the payment of said Impositions,
Subtenant shall promptly furnish to Sublandlord copies of official receipts, if
available, or other satisfactory third party evidence of such payments, such as
canceled checks.
4.2 INFORMATION AND REPORTING. Sublandlord shall give prompt notice to
Subtenant of all Impositions payable by Subtenant hereunder of which
Sublandlord at any time has knowledge, but Sublandlord's failure to give any
such notice shall in no way diminish Subtenant's obligations hereunder to pay
such Impositions. Sublandlord and Subtenant shall, upon request of the other,
provide such data as is maintained by the party to whom the request is made
with respect to the Subleased Property as may be necessary to prepare any
required returns and reports. In the event any applicable governmental
authorities classify any property covered by this Sublease as personal
property, Subtenant shall file all personal property tax returns in such
jurisdictions where it must legally so file. Each party, to the extent it
possesses the same, will provide the other party, upon request, with cost and
depreciation records necessary for filing returns for any property so
classified as personal property.
4.3 ASSESSMENT CHALLENGES. In addition to Subtenant's rights under
Article 12, Subtenant may, upon notice to Sublandlord and otherwise in
compliance with Article 12, at Subtenant's option and at Subtenant's sole cost
and expense, protest, appeal, or institute such other proceedings as Subtenant
may deem appropriate to effect a reduction of real estate or personal property
assessments and Sublandlord, at Subtenant's expense as aforesaid, shall
reasonably cooperate with Subtenant in such protest, appeal, or other action.
4.4 PRORATIONS. Impositions imposed in respect of the tax-fiscal period
during which the Term terminates shall be adjusted and prorated between
Sublandlord and Subtenant, whether or not such Imposition is imposed before or
after such termination, and Subtenant's obligation to pay its prorated share
thereof shall survive such termination. If any Imposition may, at the option
of the taxpayer, lawfully be paid in installments (whether or not interest
shall accrue on the unpaid balance of such Imposition), Subtenant may elect to
pay in installments, in which
10
18
event Subtenant shall pay all installments (and any accrued interest on the
unpaid balance of the Imposition) that are due during the Term hereof before
any fine, penalty, premium, further interest or cost may be added thereto.
4.5 REFUNDS. If any refund shall be due from any taxing authority in
respect of any Imposition paid by Subtenant, the same shall be paid over to or
retained by Subtenant if no Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder and
be continuing. Any such funds retained by Sublandlord due to an Event of
Default shall be applied as provided in Article 16.
4.6 UTILITY CHARGES. Subtenant shall pay or cause to be paid prior to
delinquency charges for all utilities and services, including, without
limitation, electricity, telephone, trash disposal, gas, oil, water, sewer,
communication and all other utilities used in the Subleased Property during the
Term.
4.7 ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS. Sublandlord shall not voluntarily consent to or
agree in writing to (i) any special assessment or (ii) the inclusion of any
material portion of the Subleased Property into a special assessment district
or other taxing jurisdiction unless Subtenant shall have consented thereto,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
ARTICLE 5
SUBTENANT WAIVERS
5.1 NO TERMINATION, ABATEMENT, ETC.. Except as otherwise specifically
provided in this Sublease, and except for those causes resulting solely from
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Sublandlord, (i) Subtenant, to
the extent permitted by law, shall remain bound by this Sublease in accordance
with its terms and shall neither take any action without the consent of
Sublandlord to modify, surrender or terminate the same, nor be entitled to any
abatement, deduction, deferment or reduction of Rent, or set-off against the
Rent by reason of, and (ii) the respective obligations of Sublandlord and
Subtenant shall not be otherwise affected by reason of:
(a) any damage to, or destruction of, any Subleased Property or any
portion thereof from whatever cause or any taking of the Subleased
Property or any portion thereof;
(b) the lawful or unlawful prohibition of, or restriction upon,
Subtenant's use of the Subleased Property, or any portion thereof, the
interference with such use by any Person, or by reason of eviction by
paramount title;
(c) any claim which Subtenant has or might have against Sublandlord
or by reason of any default or breach of any warranty by Sublandlord
under this Sublease or
11
19
any other agreement between Sublandlord and Subtenant, or to which
Sublandlord and Subtenant are parties;
(d) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition,
readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or other proceedings
affecting Sublandlord or any assignee or transferee of Sublandlord; or
(e) for any other cause whether similar or dissimilar to any of the
foregoing other than a discharge of Subtenant from any such obligation as
a matter of law.
Subtenant hereby specifically waives all rights, arising from any occurrence
whatsoever, which may now or hereafter be conferred upon it by law (i) to
modify, surrender or terminate this Sublease or quit or surrender the Subleased
Property or any portion thereof, or (ii) to entitle Subtenant to any abatement,
reduction, suspension or deferment of the Rent or other sums payable by
Subtenant hereunder, except as otherwise specifically provided in this
Sublease. The obligations of Sublandlord and Subtenant hereunder shall be
separate and independent covenants and agreements and the Rent and all other
sums payable by Subtenant hereunder shall continue to be payable in all events
unless the obligations to pay the same shall be terminated pursuant to the
express provisions of this Sublease or by termination of this Sublease other
than by reason of any Event of Default.
5.2 CONDITION OF THE SUBLEASED PROPERTY. Subtenant acknowledges receipt
and delivery of possession of the Subleased Property and that Subtenant has
examined and otherwise has knowledge of the condition of the Subleased Property
prior to the execution and delivery of this Sublease and has found the same to
be in good order and repair and satisfactory for its purposes hereunder.
Regardless of any inspection made by Subtenant of the Subleased Property and
whether or not any patent or latent defect or condition was revealed or
discovered thereby, Subtenant is leasing the Subleased Property "as is" in its
present condition. Subtenant waives and releases any claim or action against
Sublandlord in respect of the condition of the Subleased Property including any
defects or adverse conditions, latent or patent, matured or unmatured, known or
unknown by Subtenant or Sublandlord as of the date hereof. SUBTENANT
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SUBLANDLORD (WHETHER ACTING AS SUBLANDLORD HEREUNDER OR IN
ANY OTHER CAPACITY) HAS NOT MADE AND WILL NOT MAKE, NOR SHALL SUBLANDLORD BE
DEEMED TO HAVE MADE, ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH
RESPECT TO THE SUBLEASED PROPERTY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION AS
TO (i) ITS FITNESS, DESIGN OR CONDITION FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE, (ii)
THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP THEREIN, (iii) THE EXISTENCE OF ANY
DEFECT, LATENT OR PATENT, (iv) SUBLANDLORD'S TITLE THERETO, (v) VALUE, (vi)
COMPLIANCE WITH SPECIFICATIONS, (vii) LOCATION, (viii) USE, (ix) CONDITION, (x)
MERCHANTABILITY, (xi) QUALITY, (xii) DESCRIPTION, (xiii) DURABILITY, (xiv)
OPERATION, (xv) THE EXISTENCE OF ANY HAZARDOUS MATERIAL OR (xvi) COMPLIANCE OF
THE SUBLEASED
12
20
PROPERTY WITH ANY LAW (INCLUDING ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS) OR LEGAL REQUIREMENTS.
SUBTENANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE SUBLEASED PROPERTY IS OF ITS SELECTION AND TO
ITS SPECIFICATIONS AND THAT THE SUBLEASED PROPERTY HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY
SUBTENANT AND IS SATISFACTORY TO IT. IN THE EVENT OF ANY DEFECT OR DEFICIENCY
IN THE SUBLEASED PROPERTY OF ANY NATURE, WHETHER LATENT OR PATENT, AS BETWEEN
SUBLANDLORD AND SUBTENANT, SUBLANDLORD SHALL NOT HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR
LIABILITY WITH RESPECT THERETO OR FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
(INCLUDING STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT). THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 5.2 HAVE
BEEN NEGOTIATED, AND ARE INTENDED TO BE A COMPLETE EXCLUSION AND NEGATION OF
ANY WARRANTIES BY SUBLANDLORD, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE
SUBLEASED PROPERTY, ARISING PURSUANT TO THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE OR ANY
OTHER LAW NOW OR HEREAFTER IN EFFECT OR ARISING OTHERWISE.
ARTICLE 6
OWNERSHIP OF PROPERTY
6.1 SUBLEASED PROPERTY. Subtenant acknowledges that the Subleased
Property is the property of Sublandlord, that Sublandlord is the paramount
owner of the Subleased Property and that Subtenant has only the right to the
possession and use of the Subleased Property during the Term of and upon the
terms and conditions of this Sublease.
6.2 SUBLANDLORD'S PERSONAL PROPERTY. Subtenant shall maintain
Sublandlord's Personal Property in the same manner as Subtenant maintains
Subtenant's Personal Property. Upon the loss, destruction, or obsolescence of
any of the Sublandlord's Personal Property, Subtenant shall replace such
property with Subtenant's Personal Property, which Personal Property shall be
owned by Subtenant; provided, however, that in the case of loss or destruction
to any of Sublandlord's Personal Property, if insurance proceeds are available,
Subtenant shall use such proceeds to replace such Personal Property, and the
replacement Personal Property shall be owned by Sublandlord and shall
constitute Sublandlord's Personal Property hereunder.
6.3 SUBTENANT'S PERSONAL PROPERTY. Subtenant may (and shall as provided
below), at its expense, install, affix or assemble or place on any parcel of
the Land or in any of the Subleased Improvements, any items of Subtenant's
Personal Property. Subtenant shall provide and maintain during the entire Term
all such Subtenant's Personal Property as shall be necessary in order to
operate the Facility in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements and
Insurance Requirements and otherwise in accordance with customary practice in
the industry for the Primary Intended Use and in accordance with its past
practices.
13
21
6.4 PURCHASE OF SUBTENANT'S PERSONAL PROPERTY. Upon the expiration or
sooner termination of this Sublease, Sublandlord shall have the right (but not
the obligation) to purchase from Subtenant all or any portion of the tangible
Subtenant's Personal Property (which shall not include software):
(i) if owned by Subtenant and not subject to any secured financing,
at the fair market value thereof;
(ii) if owned by Subtenant, but subject to a secured financing, at
the greater of the fair market value thereof or the amount of the debt
owing under such financing; and
(iii) if leased by Subtenant and the applicable lease provides for
termination of the lease as to such Subtenant's Personal Property upon
the payment of a given sum, at the greater of the fair market value
thereof or the amount of the payment so provided; provided, however, that
at Subtenant's option and if the lessor of Subtenant's Personal Property
will permit Sublandlord to assume the obligations under the applicable
lease with respect to such Subtenant's Personal Property (separate from
the obligations under a master lease if in effect), Subtenant shall, upon
the request of Sublandlord, assign the applicable lease (or portion
thereof) to Sublandlord;
provided, further, however, that if Sublandlord's purchase right arises because
of a termination of this Sublease as a result of an Event of Default, the fair
market value under clauses (i) through (iii) above shall be deemed to be the
depreciated net book value of Subtenant's Personal Property. Sublandlord may
elect to purchase Subtenant's Personal Property by giving notice to Subtenant
not later than, as the case may be, 60 days prior to the expiration of this
Sublease or 60 days after the termination of this Sublease upon any Event of
Default. Subtenant shall transfer title to such Property by a ▇▇▇▇ of sale
without warranty (except as to ownership) upon concurrent payment in cash by
Sublandlord; provided, however, if Sublandlord has any unpaid damages in an
ascertainable amount resulting from any Event of Default, Sublandlord may make
payment by delivery of an offset against such damages.
6.5 REMOVAL OF PERSONAL PROPERTY. All items of Subtenant's Personal
Property not removed by Subtenant within 14 days following the expiration or
earlier termination of this Sublease shall be considered abandoned by Subtenant
and may, at Sublandlord's discretion and without any obligation, be
appropriated, sold, destroyed or otherwise disposed of by Sublandlord without
first giving notice thereof to Subtenant and without any payment to Subtenant
and without any obligation to account therefor. Subtenant shall, at its
expense, restore the Subleased Property to the condition required by Section
9.1, including repair of all damage to the Subleased Property caused by the
removal of Subtenant's Personal Property, whether affected by Subtenant or
Sublandlord. Sublandlord shall not be responsible for any loss or damage to
Subtenant's Personal Property, or any other property of Subtenant, by virtue of
Sublandlord's removal thereof at any time subsequent to the 14-day period
provided for herein.
14
22
6.6 SUBLANDLORD'S WAIVERS. Any lessor of Subtenant's Personal Property or
other party with a security interest therein may, upon notice to Sublandlord
and during reasonable hours, enter the Facility and take possession of any of
Subtenant's Personal Property without liability for trespass or conversion.
Sublandlord shall, upon the request of Subtenant, execute and deliver to
Subtenant "landlord's waivers" as may be reasonable and customary in connection
with the financing or leasing of personal property. Such "landlord's waiver"
shall limit to 30 days the amount of time the lessor or lender of Subtenant's
Personal Property has to enter upon the Subleased Property after notice from
Sublandlord that the Term has expired or otherwise terminated. If Subtenant
requests a "landlord's waiver," Subtenant shall attempt to secure from any
financing source or lessor the right on the part of Sublandlord to cure the
defaults of Subtenant and to use any such Subtenant's Personal Property upon
providing such cure.
6.7 COLLATERAL AGREEMENTS. During the Term, Subtenant shall have the
right and obligation to enter into agreements and service contracts on behalf
of the Facility which are necessary or reasonably required in connection with
the operation of the Subleased Property for its Primary Intended Use including,
without limitation, membership agreements. Subtenant (or its affiliate) has
also entered into various agreements and service contacts in connection with
its operation of the Facility prior to the Commencement Date. All such
agreements and service contracts, whether entered into prior to or during the
Term and whether entered into by Subtenant or by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Management (as defined
in Article 30 below), are hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"Collateral Agreements." For good and valuable consideration, the receipt of
which is hereby acknowledged, and subject to the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth, Subtenant and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Management hereby assign to
Sublandlord all of Subtenant's and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Management's right, title and
interest in the Collateral Agreements; provided, however, that Subtenant and
▇▇▇▇▇▇ Management shall continue to have all rights under said Collateral
Agreements at all times during the Term hereof when an Event of Default is not
then existing hereunder (subject, however, to the terms set forth below
relative to restrictions with respect to membership agreements). Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (and in addition
to any other rights and remedies available to Sublandlord), and upon the
expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease, Sublandlord shall have the
right, but not the obligation, by itself or by a designee, to take the place of
Subtenant or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Management, as the case may be, under any or all of the
Collateral Agreements, to proceed to perform any and all obligations of the
owner or operator contained in any such Collateral Agreements and exercise any
and all rights of the owner or operator therein contained as fully as the
Subtenant or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Management itself could, and to take possession of all
documents reasonably required by Sublandlord to exercise its rights and perform
its obligations under the Collateral Agreements. Subtenant and ▇▇▇▇▇▇
Management each hereby appoints Sublandlord its attorney-in-fact to take such
action and execute such documents as are necessary or deemed appropriate by
Sublandlord to effectuate the transfer of Subtenant's or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Management's,
as the case may be, right, title and interest in those Collateral Agreements
which Sublandlord designates for such transfer. This power of attorney granted
hereby shall be irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Subtenant and ▇▇▇▇▇▇
Management each acknowledges that the foregoing assignment of Collateral
Agreements described above is an integral part of Sublandlord's consideration
for
15
23
entering into this Sublease and that neither Subtenant nor ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Management
shall be entitled to any additional consideration relative to such assignment.
Subtenant and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Management hereby each represents that, with the exception
of consents of equipment lessors, it has the full right and authority to assign
the Collateral Agreements as described in this Section 6.7, and no consent to
such assignment is required from any other party which has not been obtained
prior to the date hereof.
With respect to membership agreements included as part of the foregoing
Collateral Agreements, Subtenant shall have the right to determine all matters
relating to the sale and classification of memberships, including the right to
set initiation fees, dues and other charges, and the number of memberships
sold; provided that Subtenant agrees not to exercise such right in a manner
which would be detrimental to Sublandlord in any material respect upon the
expiration of the Sublease.
ARTICLE 7
USE OF SUBLEASED PROPERTY
7.1 USE. After the Commencement Date and during the Term, Subtenant shall
use or cause to be used the Subleased Property and the improvements thereon for
its Primary Intended Use and for such other uses as may be necessary or
incidental to such use. Subtenant shall not use the Subleased Property or any
portion thereof for any other use without the prior written consent of
Sublandlord, which consent may be withheld in Sublandlord's sole discretion.
No use shall be made or permitted to be made of the Subleased Property, and no
acts shall be done, which will cause the cancellation of any insurance policy
covering the Subleased Property or any part thereof, nor shall Subtenant sell
or otherwise provide to patrons, or permit to be kept, used or sold in or about
the Subleased Property any article which may be prohibited by law or by the
standard form of fire insurance policies, or any other insurance policies
required to be carried hereunder, or fire underwriters regulations. Subtenant
shall, at its sole cost, comply with all of the requirements pertaining to the
Subleased Property or other improvements of any insurance board, association,
organization or company necessary for the maintenance of insurance, as herein
provided, covering the Subleased Property and Subtenant's Personal Property.
7.2 SPECIFIC PROHIBITED USES. Subtenant shall not use or occupy or permit
the Subleased Property to be used or occupied, nor do or permit anything to be
done in or on the Subleased Property, in a manner which would (i) violate or
fail to comply with any law, rule or regulation or Legal Requirement, (ii)
cause structural injury to any of the Subleased Improvements, or (iii)
constitute a public or private nuisance or waste. Subtenant shall not allow
any Hazardous Material to be located in, on or under the Subleased Property, to
migrate from the Subleased Property to any adjacent property, or to be
incorporated in the Facility or any improvements thereon, except in compliance
with applicable law (including any Environmental Law). Subtenant shall not
allow the Subleased Property to be used as a landfill or a waste
16
24
disposal site, or a manufacturing, distribution or disposal facility for any
Hazardous Materials. Subtenant shall neither suffer nor permit the Subleased
Property or any portion thereof, including Subtenant's Personal Property, to be
used in such a manner as (i) might reasonably tend to impair Sublandlord's
title thereto or to any portion thereof, or (ii) may reasonably make possible a
claim or claims of adverse usage or adverse possession by the public, as such,
or of implied dedication of the Subleased Property or any portion thereof, or
(iii) is in violation of any applicable Environmental Law. Subtenant shall own
and use Subtenant's Personal Property in material compliance with all Legal
Requirements.
7.3 SUBLANDLORD TO GRANT EASEMENTS, ETC. Sublandlord shall, from time to
time so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the
request of Subtenant and at Subtenant's cost and expense (but subject to the
approval of Sublandlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed and which approval shall not be deemed unreasonably withheld or delayed
if Sublandlord must obtain either a Facility Mortgagee's consent and if such
Facility Mortgagee elects not to consent or a consent from Lessor or a
mortgagee of Lessor and such Lessor or mortgagee elects not to consent): (i)
grant easements and other rights in the nature of easements; (ii) release
existing easements or other rights in the nature of easements which are for the
benefit of the Subleased Property; (iii) dedicate or transfer unimproved
portions of the Subleased Property for road, highway or other public purposes;
(iv) execute petitions to have the Subleased Property annexed to any municipal
corporation or utility district; (v) execute amendments to any covenants and
restrictions affecting the Subleased Property; and (vi) execute and deliver to
any Person any instrument appropriate to confirm or effect such grants,
releases, dedications and transfers (to the extent of its interest in the
Subleased Property), but only upon delivery to Sublandlord of an Officer's
Certificate (which Certificate, if contested by Sublandlord, shall not be
binding on Sublandlord) stating that such grant, release, dedication, transfer,
petition or amendment is not detrimental to the proper conduct of the business
of Subtenant on the Subleased Property and does not reduce its value or
usefulness for the Primary Intended Use and describing in reasonable detail the
nature of such proposed grant, release, dedication, transfer, petition or
amendment. Sublandlord shall not grant, release, dedicate or execute any of
the foregoing items in this Section 7.3 without obtaining Subtenant's approval,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
ARTICLE 8
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
8.1 SUBTENANT REPRESENTATIONS. Subtenant hereby represents and warrants
to Sublandlord as follows:
8.1.1 REPORTS. All material reports of environmental surveys,
audits, investigations and assessments relating to the Subleased Property
in the possession or
17
25
control of Subtenant or its Affiliates (herein, the "Existing
Environmental Reports") have been disclosed to Sublandlord.
8.2 REMEDIATION. If any Hazardous Material in a quantity sufficient to
require remediation or reporting under any Environmental Law is released, or
disposed of, in, on or under the Subleased Property at any time during the Term
hereof or was released, or disposed of, in, on or under the Subleased Property
at any time prior to the Commencement Date (i.e., irrespective of whether the
same occurred during Subtenant's or Subtenant's affiliate's ownership or
possession of the Subleased Property), or if Subtenant, Sublandlord, or the
Subleased Property becomes subject to any order of any federal, state or local
agency to investigate, remove, remediate, repair, close, detoxify,
decontaminate or otherwise clean up the Subleased Property as a result of any
release or disposal in, on or under the Subleased Property occurring at any
time prior to the Commencement Date (i.e., irrespective of whether the same
occurred during the Term hereof or during Subtenant's or Subtenant's
affiliate's ownership or possession of the Subleased Property), Subtenant
shall, at its sole expense, carry out and complete any required investigation,
removal, remediation, repair, closure, detoxification, decontamination or other
cleanup of the Subleased Property in material compliance with all applicable
Environmental Laws; provided, however, that Subtenant shall have no
responsibility for any investigation, removal, remediation, repair, closure,
detoxification, decontamination or other cleanup of the Subleased Property
necessitated by actions of Sublandlord. Subject to Subtenant's rights to
contest pursuant to Article 12 hereof, if Subtenant fails to implement and
diligently pursue any such repair, closure, detoxification, decontamination or
other cleanup of the Subleased Property in a timely manner and in material
compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws, Sublandlord shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to carry out such action and to recover all of
the reasonable costs and expenses from Subtenant as Additional Charges.
8.3 SUBTENANT'S INDEMNIFICATION OF SUBLANDLORD AND OTHERS. Except for
matters arising out of the actions of Sublandlord, Subtenant shall pay,
protect, indemnify, save, hold harmless and defend Sublandlord, Lessor and any
Facility Mortgagee from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims,
damages (including consequential and punitive damages), penalties, causes of
action, demands, judgments, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys'
fees and expenses), to the extent permitted by law, imposed upon or incurred by
or asserted against Sublandlord, Lessor, any Facility Mortgagee or the
Subleased Property by reason of any Hazardous Material released or disposed of
at, in or by the Subleased Property either during the Term or prior to the
Commencement Date in violation of any Environmental Law, howsoever arising,
without regard to fault on the part of Subtenant, including (a) liability for
response costs and for costs of removal and remedial action incurred by the
United States Government, any state or local governmental unit to any other
Person, or damages from injury to or destruction or loss of natural resources,
including the reasonable costs of assessing such injury, destruction or loss,
incurred pursuant to any Environmental Law, (b) liability for costs and
expenses of abatement, investigation, removal, remediation, correction or
clean-up, fines, damages, response costs or penalties which arise from the
provisions of any Environmental Law,
18
26
(c) liability for personal injury or property damage arising under any
statutory or common-law tort theory, including damages assessed for the
maintenance of a public or private nuisance or for carrying on of a dangerous
activity, or (d) by reason of a breach of a representation or warranty in
Section 8.1.
8.4 SURVIVAL OF INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS. Subtenant's remediation and
indemnification obligations and liabilities under this Article 8 arising during
the Term hereof shall survive any termination of this Sublease for a period of
one (1) year (i.e., meaning that Sublandlord must give notice to Subtenant of
such claim prior to the expiration of said 1-year period).
ARTICLE 9
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
9.1 SUBTENANT'S SOLE OBLIGATION - GENERAL. Subtenant, at its expense,
will keep the Subleased Property and Subtenant's Personal Property in good
order, repair and appearance (whether or not the need for such repairs occurs
as a result of Subtenant's use, any prior use, the elements or the age of the
Subleased Property, or any portion thereof) and maintain the Subleased Property
in accordance with any applicable Legal Requirements, and, except as otherwise
provided in Article 14, with reasonable promptness, make all necessary and
appropriate repairs thereto of every kind and nature, whether interior or
exterior, structural or non-structural, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or
unforeseen or arising by reason of a condition existing prior to the
commencement of the Term of this Sublease (concealed or otherwise). Subtenant
shall operate and maintain the Subleased Property in accordance with the
Operating Standards set forth in Exhibit D; provided, however, that Subtenant
may make such modifications to such Operating Standards as Subtenant may
reasonably determine to be appropriate for the prudent management of the
Subleased Property so long as the maintenance and operation of the Subleased
Property shall be in a first class condition, which modifications, to the
extent they are material to the operating results of the Subleased Property,
shall be subject to the approval of Sublandlord (not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed); provided further, however, that Subtenant shall make such
changes to the Operating Standards as may be appropriate to comply with Legal
Requirements. Subtenant will not take or omit to take any action the taking or
omission of which could reasonably be expected to impair the value or the
usefulness of the Subleased Property or any part thereof for its Primary
Intended Use. Nothing in this Article 9 shall obligate Subtenant to make any
capital improvement or replacements to the Subleased Property if the Subleased

Subtenant may not make any material alterations, additions, changes and/or
other capital improvements to the Subleased Property (individually, a
"Subtenant Improvement," and collectively, "Subtenant Improvements") without

(f) engage in any other lawful activities that Subtenant determines
are necessary or desirable for the development of the Subleased Property
in accordance with its Primary Intended Use;
it being understood and agreed, however, that Subtenant shall not, in any
event, make any Subtenant Improvement which would, in Sublandlord's reasonable
judgment, impair the value or Primary Intended Use of the Subleased Property or
otherwise violate the terms of the Master Lease.
10.3 COOPERATION OF SUBLANDLORD. To the extent Sublandlord has consented
to any Subtenant Improvement, Sublandlord shall cooperate with Subtenant and
take such actions, including the execution and delivery to Subtenant of any
applications or other documents, reasonably requested by Subtenant in order to
obtain any governmental approvals sought by Subtenant to construct such
Subtenant Improvement within ten (10) Business Days following the later of (a)
the date Sublandlord receives Subtenant's request, or (b) the date of delivery
of any such application or document to Sublandlord, so long as the taking of
such action, including the execution of said applications or documents, shall
be without cost to Sublandlord (or if there are costs to Sublandlord, such
reasonable out-of-pocket costs shall be reimbursed by Subtenant), and will not
cause Sublandlord to be in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation.
10.4 COMMENCEMENT OF CONSTRUCTION. Subtenant agrees that:
(a) Subtenant shall diligently seek all governmental approvals
relating to the construction of any Subtenant Improvement;
(b) Once Subtenant begins the construction of any Subtenant

be necessary to protect Sublandlord's interest from mechanics' liens,
materialmen's liens or liens of a similar nature;
(d) Subtenant shall not suffer or permit any mechanics' liens or any
other claims or demands arising from the work or construction of any
Subtenant Improvement to be enforced against the Subleased Property or
any part thereof, and Subtenant agrees to hold Sublandlord, Lessor and
said Subleased Property free and harmless from all liability from any
such liens, claims or demands, together with all costs and expenses in
connection therewith; and
(e) All work shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner.
10.5 RIGHTS IN SUBTENANT IMPROVEMENTS. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Sublease, all Subtenant Improvements constructed pursuant to
Section 10.1, and any and all subsequent additions thereto and alterations and

Subtenant in connection with performance of the Pre-Approved Subtenant
Improvements, and shall be disbursed in accordance with the following
requirements: (i) at the time of any disbursement, subject to Article 12, no

Subleased Property and remain undischarged, unless a satisfactory bond shall
have been posted in accordance with the laws of the State; (ii) disbursement
shall be made from time to time in an amount not exceeding the cost of the work
completed since the last disbursement,
23

good and workmanlike manner in accordance with contracts, plans and
specifications heretofore delivered to Sublandlord, (B) waiver of liens
covering the amount to be disbursed, (C) satisfactory bringdown of title
insurance, and (D) other evidence of costs and payments so that Sublandlord can
verify that the amounts disbursed from time to time are represented by work
that is completed, in place and free and clear of mechanics' and materialmen's

certificate of Subtenant, signed by a duly authorized representative of
Subtenant, describing the work for which payment is requested, stating the cost

that the work has been fully completed and complies with the applicable
requirements of this Sublease; and (iv) such other reasonable conditions as
Sublandlord may reasonably impose.

in connection therewith) be paid, from Sublandlord to Subtenant.
ARTICLE 11

and will promptly discharge at its expense any lien, encumbrance, attachment,
title retention agreement or claim upon the Subleased Property or any

however:
(a) the matters, if any, that existed as of the Commencement Date
and that were disclosed on the Sublandlord's title policy issued as of
such date;
(b) restrictions, liens and other encumbrances which are consented

(d) subsubleases permitted by Article 24;
24
32
(e) liens for Impositions or for sums resulting from noncompliance

are in the process of being contested as permitted by Article 12;
(f) liens of mechanics, laborers, materialmen, suppliers or vendors
for sums either disputed (provided that such liens are in the process of
being contested as permitted by Article 12) or not yet due; and
(g) any liens which are the responsibility of Sublandlord pursuant
to the provisions of Article 26.
11.2 ENCROACHMENTS AND OTHER TITLE MATTERS. Except for any matters deemed
to be "Permitted Title Exceptions" when Sublandlord accepted its leasehold
interest in the Subleased Property and any matters granted or created by
Sublandlord after the Commencement Date, if any of the Subleased Improvements
shall, at any time, encroach upon any property, street or right-of-way adjacent
to the Subleased Property, or shall violate the agreements or conditions
contained in any lawful restrictive covenant or other agreement affecting the
Subleased Property, or any part thereof, or shall impair the rights of others
under any easement or right-of-way to which the Subleased Property is subject,
or the use of the Subleased Property is impaired, limited or interfered with by
reason of the exercise of the right of surface entry or any other rights under
a lease or reservation of any oil, gas, water or other minerals, then promptly
upon the request of Sublandlord or at the behest of any Person affected by any
such encroachment, violation or impairment, Subtenant, at its sole cost and
expense (subject to its right to contest the existence of any such
encroachment, violation or impairment), shall protect, indemnify, save harmless
and defend Sublandlord, Lessor, each Facility Mortgagee and any mortgagee of
Lessor from and against all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, damages,
penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses) based on or arising by reason of any such
encroachment, violation or impairment and in such case, in the event of an
adverse final determination, either (i) obtain valid and effective waivers or
settlements of all claims, liabilities and damages resulting from each such
encroachment, violation or impairment, whether the same shall affect
Sublandlord or Subtenant; or (ii) make such changes in the Subleased
Improvements, and take such other actions, as Subtenant in the good faith
exercise of its judgment deems reasonably practicable, to remove such
encroachment, and to end such violation or impairment, including, if necessary,
the alteration of any of the Subleased Improvements, and in any event take all
such actions as may be necessary in order to be able to continue the operation
of the Subleased Improvements for the Primary Intended Use substantially in the
manner and to the extent the Subleased Improvements were operated prior to the
assertion of such violation or encroachment. Subtenant's obligations under
this Section 11.2 shall be in addition to and shall in no way discharge or
diminish any obligation of any insurer under any policy of title or other
insurance and Subtenant shall be entitled to a credit for any sums recovered by
Sublandlord under any such policy of title or other insurance.

name) but at Subtenant's expense, may contest, by appropriate legal proceedings
conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or
application, in whole or in part, of any Imposition or any Legal Requirement or
any lien, attachment, levy, encumbrance, charge or claim not otherwise
permitted by Section 11.1, provided that:
(a) in the case of an unpaid Imposition, lien, attachment, levy,
encumbrance, charge or claim, the commencement and continuation of such
proceedings shall suspend the collection thereof from Sublandlord and

Rent therefrom nor any part thereof or interest therein would be in any
danger of being sold, forfeited, attached or lost pending the outcome of
such proceedings;
(b) in the case of a Legal Requirement, neither Sublandlord, Lessor,
any Facility Mortgagee nor any mortgagee of Lessor would be subject to
criminal or civil liability for failure to comply therewith pending the
outcome of such proceedings. Nothing in this Article 12(b), however,
shall permit Subtenant to delay compliance with any requirement of any
Environmental Law to the extent such non-compliance poses an immediate
threat of injury to any Person or to the public health or safety or of
material damage to any real or personal property;
(c) in the case of a Legal Requirement and/or an Imposition, lien,
encumbrance or charge, Subtenant shall give such reasonable security, if
any, as may be demanded by Sublandlord to insure ultimate payment of the
same and to prevent any sale or forfeiture of the affected Subleased
Property or the Rent by reason of such non-payment or noncompliance,
provided, however, the provisions of this Article 12 shall not be
construed to permit Subtenant to contest the payment of Rent (except as
to contests concerning the method of computation or the basis of levy of
any Imposition or the basis for the assertion of any other claim) or any
other sums payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord hereunder, and provided
further that any such security remaining after the final resolution of
such matter shall be returned to Subtenant;
(d) no such contest shall interfere in any material respect with the
use or occupancy of the Subleased Property;

pay the amount required to be paid, together with all interest and
penalties accrued thereon, or comply with the applicable Legal
Requirement or Insurance Requirement, and Sublandlord, at Subtenant's
expense, shall execute and deliver to Subtenant such authorization and
other documents as may reasonably be required in any such contest, and,
if reasonably requested by Subtenant or if Sublandlord so desires,

resulting therefrom.
ARTICLE 13

13.1.3 FLOOD. Flood (when the Subleased Property is located in
whole or in material part in a designated flood plain area) and such
other hazards and in such amounts as may be customary for comparable
properties in the area; provided, however, that Subtenant shall not be
required to participate in the National Flood Insurance Program.
13.1.4 WORKER'S COMPENSATION. Adequate worker's compensation
insurance coverage for all Persons employed by Subtenant on the Subleased
Property in accordance with the requirements of applicable federal, state
and local laws.

(12) month period.
13.1.6 OTHER INSURANCE. Such other kinds and amounts of insurance
on or in connection with any of the Subleased Property, including all
Subtenant's Personal Property and any Subtenant Improvements, as
Sublandlord or any Facility Mortgagee may reasonably require, which at
the time is usual and commonly obtained in connection with properties
similar in type of building size and use to the Subleased Property and
located in the geographic area where the Subleased Property is located.
13.2 REPLACEMENT COST. In the event either party believes that the Full
Replacement Cost of the insured property has increased or decreased at any time
during the Term, it shall have the right to have such Full Replacement Cost
redetermined by the fire insurance company which is then carrying the largest
amount of fire insurance carried on the Subleased Property (the "Impartial
Appraiser"). The party desiring to have the Full Replacement Cost so
redetermined shall forthwith, on receipt of such determination by such
Impartial Appraiser, give written notice thereof to the other party hereto.
The determination of such Impartial Appraiser shall be final and binding on the
parties hereto, and Subtenant shall forthwith increase, or may decrease, the
amount of the insurance carried pursuant to this Section 13.2, as the case may
be, to the amount so determined by the Impartial Appraiser. Each party shall
pay one-half of the fee, if any, of the Impartial Appraiser.
13.3 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. All insurance policies carried by either
party covering the Subleased Property including contents, fire and casualty
insurance, shall expressly waive any right of subrogation on the part of the
insurer against the other party (including any Facility Mortgagee and mortgagee
of Lessor). The parties hereto agree that their policies will include such
waiver clause or endorsement so long as the same are obtainable without extra
cost, and in the event of such an extra charge the other party, at its
election, may pay the same, but shall not be obligated to do so.
13.4 FORM SATISFACTORY, ETC. All of the policies of insurance referred to
in Section 13.1 shall be written in a form reasonably satisfactory to
Sublandlord and by insurance companies rated not less than AVIII by A.M. Best's
Insurance Guide. Subtenant shall pay all
28
36
premiums for the policies of insurance referred to in Section 13.1 and shall
deliver certificates thereof and copies of said policies to Sublandlord prior
to their effective date (and with respect to any renewal policy, at least 10
days prior to the expiration of the existing policy). In the event Subtenant
fails to satisfy its obligations under this Section 13.4, Sublandlord shall be
entitled, but shall have no obligation, to effect such insurance and pay the
premiums therefor, which premiums (together with interest thereon accruing at
the Overdue Rate until repaid) shall be repayable to Sublandlord upon written
demand as Additional Charges. Each policy of insurance required by Section
13.1 shall, by endorsement on the policy or policies, or by independent
instrument furnished to Sublandlord, provide that the insurer thereunder will
give to Sublandlord not less than 30 days' written notice before the policy or
policies in question shall be altered, allowed to expire or canceled. Each
such policy shall also provide that any loss otherwise payable thereunder shall
be payable notwithstanding (i) any act or omission of Sublandlord, Subtenant or
Lessor which might, absent such provision, result in a forfeiture of all or a
part of such insurance payment, (ii) the occupation or use of the Subleased
Property for purposes more hazardous than those permitted by the provisions of
such policy, (iii) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken by any
Facility Mortgage or any mortgagee of Lessor pursuant to any provision of a
mortgage, note, assignment or other document evidencing or securing a loan upon
the happening of an event of default therein or (iv) any change in title to or
ownership of the Subleased Property.
13.5 CHANGE IN LIMITS. In the event that Sublandlord shall at any time
reasonably determine on the basis of prudent industry practice that the
liability insurance carried by Subtenant pursuant to Section 13.1.2 is either
excessive or insufficient, the parties shall endeavor to agree on the proper
and reasonable limits for such insurance to be carried; and such insurance
shall thereafter be carried with the limits thus agreed on until further
changed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 13.5; provided, however,
that the deductibles for such insurance or the amount of such insurance which
is self-retained by Subtenant shall be as reasonably determined by Subtenant so
long as Subtenant can reasonably demonstrate its ability to satisfy such
deductible or amount of such self-retained insurance.
13.6 BLANKET POLICY. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Article 13, Subtenant's obligations to carry the insurance provided for
herein may be brought within the coverage of a so-called blanket policy or
policies of insurance carried and maintained by Subtenant; provided, however,
that the coverage afforded Sublandlord, Lessor, each Facility Mortgagee and any
mortgagee of Lessor will not be reduced or diminished or otherwise be different
from that which would exist under a separate policy meeting all other
requirements of this Sublease by reason of the use of such blanket policy of
insurance, and provided further that the requirements of this Article 13 are
otherwise satisfied. The amount of the total insurance allocated to the
Subleased Property, which amount shall be not less than the amounts required
pursuant to Section 13.1, shall be specified either (i) in each such "blanket"
policy or (ii) in a written statement, which Subtenant shall deliver to
Sublandlord and Facility Mortgagee, from the insurer thereunder. A certificate
and copy of each such "blanket" policy shall promptly be delivered to
Sublandlord and Facility Mortgagee.

(iv) each request for disbursement shall be accompanied by a
certificate of Subtenant, signed by a duly authorized
representative of Subtenant, describing the work for which payment
is requested, stating the cost incurred in connection therewith,

work and, upon completion of the work, also stating that the work
has been fully completed and complies with the applicable
requirements of this Sublease;
(v) to the extent actually held by Sublandlord and not by a
Facility Mortgagee or mortgagee of Lessor, (1) the proceeds shall
be held in a separate account and shall not be commingled with
Sublandlord's other funds, and (2) interest shall accrue on funds
so held at the money market rate of interest and such interest
shall constitute part of the proceeds; and
(vi) such other reasonable conditions as Sublandlord or
Facility Mortgagee may reasonably impose, including, without
limitation, payment by Subtenant of reasonable costs of
administration imposed by or on behalf of Facility Mortgagee should
the proceeds be held by Facility Mortgagee and including a deposit

Facility Mortgagee that the insurance proceeds are insufficient to
complete the restoration.
14.1.2 EXCESS PROCEEDS. Any excess proceeds of insurance remaining
after the completion of the restoration or reconstruction of the
Subleased Property (or in the event neither Sublandlord nor Subtenant is
required or elects to repair and restore) shall be paid to Sublandlord
and Subtenant in like proportions to the value of Sublandlord's interests
in the Subleased Property and Subtenant's interest in Subtenant's
Personal Property and the Subtenant Improvements, or any portion thereof
upon completion of any such repair and restoration except as otherwise
specifically provided below in this Article 14. All salvage resulting
from any risk covered by insurance shall belong to Sublandlord.
14.2 RECONSTRUCTION COVERED BY INSURANCE.
14.2.1 DESTRUCTION RENDERING FACILITY UNSUITABLE FOR ITS PRIMARY
USE. If during the Term the Subleased Property is totally or partially
destroyed from a risk covered by the insurance described in Article 13
and the Facility thereby is rendered Unsuitable For Its Primary Intended
Use, Subtenant shall diligently restore the Facility to substantially the
same condition as existed immediately before the damage or destruction.
Such damage or destruction shall not terminate this Sublease.
14.2.2 DESTRUCTION NOT RENDERING FACILITY UNSUITABLE FOR ITS
PRIMARY USE. If during the Term, the Subleased Property is totally or
partially destroyed from a risk covered by the insurance described in
Article 13, but the Facility is not thereby rendered Unsuitable For Its
Primary Intended Use, Subtenant shall diligently restore the Facility
31
39
to substantially the same condition as existed immediately before the
damage or destruction; provided, however, Subtenant shall not be required
to restore Subtenant's Personal Property and/or any Subtenant
Improvements if failure to do so does not adversely affect the amount of
Additional Rent payable hereunder. Such damage or destruction shall not
terminate this Sublease.
14.2.3 COSTS OF REPAIR. If the cost of the repair or restoration
exceeds the amount of proceeds received by Sublandlord or Subtenant from
the insurance required under Article 13, Subtenant shall pay for such
excess cost of repair or restoration.
14.3 RECONSTRUCTION NOT COVERED BY INSURANCE. If during the Term, the
Facility is totally or materially destroyed from a risk not covered by the
insurance described in Article 13, whether or not such damage or destruction
renders the Facility Unsuitable For Its Primary Intended Use, Subtenant shall
diligently restore the Facility to substantially the same condition as existed
immediately before the damage or destruction.
14.4 NO ABATEMENT OF RENT. This Sublease shall remain in full force and
effect and Subtenant's obligation to make rental payments and to pay all other
charges required by this Sublease shall remain unabated during the period
required for repair and restoration; provided, however, that if there is no
Event of Default, Subtenant shall be entitled to retain any proceeds of rental
value or business interruption insurance coverage maintained by Subtenant
(which amounts shall be deemed Golf Course Revenue for purposes hereof).
14.5 WAIVER. Subtenant hereby waives any statutory or other rights of
termination which may arise by reason of any damage or destruction of the
Facility which Sublandlord or Subtenant is obligated to restore or may restore
under any of the provisions of this Sublease.
14.6 DAMAGE NEAR END OF TERM. Notwithstanding any other provision to the
contrary in this Article 14, if damage to or destruction of the Subleased
Property occurs during the last 24 months of the Term of this Sublease, and if
such damage or destruction cannot reasonably be expected to be fully repaired
or restored prior to the date that is 12 months prior to the end of the
then-applicable Term, then either Sublandlord or Subtenant shall have the right
to terminate this Sublease on not less than 30 days' prior notice to the other
party by giving notice thereof to the other party within 60 days after the date
of such damage or destruction. Upon any such termination, Sublandlord shall be
entitled to retain all insurance proceeds, grossed up by Subtenant to account
for the deductible or any self-insured retention; provided, however, that
Subtenant shall be entitled to retain or receive all insurance proceeds
relating to Subtenant's Personal Property. If Sublandlord shall give Subtenant
a notice under this Section 14.6 that it seeks to terminate this Sublease at a
time when Subtenant has a remaining Extended Term, then such termination notice
shall be of no effect if Subtenant shall exercise its rights to extend the Term
not later than the earlier of the time required by Section 2.2 or within 30
days after Sublandlord's notice of termination given under this Section 14.6.

ARTICLE 15
CONDEMNATION
15.1 TOTAL TAKING. If at any time during the Term the Subleased Property
is totally and permanently taken by Condemnation, this Sublease shall terminate
on the Date of Taking and Subtenant shall promptly pay all outstanding Rent and
other charges through the date of termination.
15.2 PARTIAL TAKING. If a portion of the Subleased Property is taken by
Condemnation, this Sublease shall remain in effect if the Facility is not
thereby rendered Unsuitable For Its Primary Intended Use, but if the Facility
is thereby rendered Unsuitable For Its Primary Intended Use, this Sublease
shall terminate on the Date of Taking.
15.3 RESTORATION. If there is a partial taking of the Subleased Property
and this Sublease remains in full force and effect pursuant to Section 15.2,
Sublandlord at its cost shall accomplish all necessary restoration up to but
not exceeding the amount of the Award payable to Sublandlord, as provided
herein; provided, however, that at Sublandlord's option, Sublandlord may
require Subtenant to perform such restoration, in which event Sublandlord shall
make Sublandlord's Award available for such purpose, subject to disbursement
requirements substantially similar to those set forth in Section 14.1.1 (it
being understood that Subtenant shall be responsible for completion of such
restoration, at its cost, irrespective of whether the condemnation proceeds are
sufficient to pay all of the costs of such restoration work). If Subtenant
receives an Award under Section 15.4, Subtenant shall repair or restore any
Subtenant Improvements up to but not exceeding the amount of the Award payable
to Subtenant therefor.
15.4 AWARD DISTRIBUTION. The entire Award shall belong to and be paid to
Sublandlord, except that, subject to the rights of the Facility Mortgagee and
any mortgagee of Lessor, Subtenant shall be entitled to receive from the Award,
if and to the extent such Award specifically includes such items, or to
otherwise pursue a separate Award (but only to the extent such separate Award
does not reduce the amount of the Award to which Sublandlord would otherwise be
entitled hereunder) for, a sum attributable to the value, if any, of: (i) any
Subtenant's Personal Property and (ii) the leasehold interest of Subtenant
under this Sublease; provided, however, that if the amount received by
Sublandlord, Lessor, the Facility Mortgagee and any mortgagee of Lessor is less
than the Condemnation Threshold, then the amount of the Award otherwise payable
to Subtenant for the value of its leasehold interest under this Sublease (and
not any other funds of Subtenant) shall instead be paid over to Sublandlord up
to the amount of the shortfall.
15.5 TEMPORARY TAKING. The taking of the Subleased Property, or any part
thereof, by military or other public authority shall constitute a taking by
Condemnation only when the use and occupancy by the taking authority has
continued for longer than six months. During any such six month period or
less, which shall be deemed a temporary taking, all the provisions of
33
41
this Sublease shall remain in full force and effect with no abatement of Rent
payable by Subtenant hereunder. In the event of any such temporary taking, the
entire amount of any such Award made for such temporary taking allocable to the
Term of this Sublease, whether paid by way of damage, rent or otherwise, shall
be paid to Subtenant.
ARTICLE 16
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
16.1 EVENTS OF DEFAULT. If any one or more of the following events
(individually, an "Event of Default") shall occur:
(a) if Subtenant shall fail to make payment of the Rent payable by
Subtenant under this Sublease when the same becomes due and payable and
such failure is not cured by Subtenant within a period of 10 days after
receipt by Subtenant of notice thereof from Sublandlord; provided,
however, that such notice shall be in lieu of and not in addition to any
notice required under applicable law;
(b) if Subtenant shall fail to obtain, maintain or replace the
security deposit as required by Article 21 or the capital expenditure
reserve deposits required by Section 18.2;
(c) if, other than as a result of Unavoidable Delays, Subtenant
shall fail to observe or perform any material term, covenant or condition
of this Sublease and such failure is not cured by Subtenant within a
period of 30 days after receipt by Subtenant of notice thereof from
Sublandlord, unless such failure cannot with due diligence be cured
within a period of 30 days, in which case such failure shall not be
deemed to continue if Subtenant proceeds promptly and with due diligence
to cure the failure and diligently completes the curing thereof, and in
any event cures such failure within an additional ninety (90) day period
following the foregoing 30-day cure period; provided, however, that such
notice shall be in lieu of and not in addition to any notice required
under applicable law; provided further, however, that the cure period
shall not extend beyond 30 days as otherwise provided by this Section
16.1(c) if the facts or circumstances giving rise to the default are
creating a further harm to Sublandlord or the Subleased Property and
Sublandlord makes a good faith determination that Subtenant is not
undertaking remedial steps that Sublandlord would cause to be taken if
this Sublease were then to terminate.
(d) if Subtenant shall:
(i) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally
as they become due;
34
42
(ii) file a petition in bankruptcy or a petition to take
advantage of any insolvency act;
(iii) make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors;

it, be adjudicated as bankrupt or a court of competent jurisdiction shall
enter an order or decree appointing, without the consent of Subtenant, a
receiver of Subtenant or of the whole or substantially all of its
property, or approving a petition filed against it seeking reorganization
or arrangement of Subtenant under the federal bankruptcy laws or any
other applicable law or statute of the United States of America or any
state thereof, and such judgment, order or decree shall not be vacated or
set aside or stayed within 60 days from the date of the entry thereof;
(f) if Subtenant shall be liquidated or dissolved, or shall begin
proceedings toward such liquidation or dissolution;
(g) if the estate or interest of Subtenant in the Subleased Property
or any part thereof shall be levied upon or attached in any proceeding
and the same shall not be vacated or discharged within the later of 90
days after commencement thereof or 30 days after receipt by Subtenant of
notice thereof from Sublandlord (unless Subtenant shall be contesting
such lien or attachment in accordance with Article 12); provided,
however, that such notice shall be in lieu of and not in addition to any
notice required under applicable law;
(h) if, except as a result of damage, destruction or a partial or
complete Condemnation or other Unavoidable Delays, Subtenant voluntarily
ceases operations on the Subleased Property for a period in excess of 45
consecutive days;
(i) any representation or warranty made by Subtenant herein or in
any certificate, demand or request made pursuant hereto proves to have
been incorrect when made in any material respect, and any adverse effect
on Sublandlord of any such misrepresentation or breach of warranty has
not been corrected to Sublandlord's
35
43
satisfaction within 20 days after Subtenant becomes aware of, or is
notified by Sublandlord of the fact of, such misrepresentation or breach
of warranty;
(j) if an Event of Default under any of the Other Property Leases
occurs, provided, however, that if such Event of Default (other than for
the failure to pay money or post the requisite security) arose from
occurrences beyond the reasonable control of Subtenant, such Event of
Default shall not constitute an Event of Default under this Section
16.1(j);
(k) with respect to two (2) or more of the Other Property Leases,
either an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or such leases
have been terminated by reason of an Event of Default;
(l) a default by Subtenant in any payment of principal or interest
on any obligations for borrowed money having a principal balance of
$5,000,000 or more in the aggregate (excluding obligations which are
limited in recourse to specific property of Subtenant provided that such
property is not a substantial portion of the assets of Subtenant), or in
the performance of any other provision contained in any instrument under
which any such obligation is created or secured (including the breach of
any covenant thereunder), if an effect of such default is that the
holder(s) of such obligation cause such obligation to become due prior to
its stated maturity;
(m) a final, non-appealable judgment or judgments for the payment of
money in excess of $3,000,000 in the aggregate not fully covered
(excluding deductibles) by insurance shall be rendered against Subtenant
and the same shall remain undischarged, unvacated, unbonded, or unstayed
for a period of 60 consecutive days; or
(n) if Subtenant shall default with respect to any of the provisions
of the Master Lease that Subtenant is obligated to comply with pursuant
to Section 29.1 below and Subtenant fails to cure such default within the
applicable cure period (if any) under the Master Lease;
THEN, Sublandlord may terminate this Sublease by giving Subtenant not less than
10 days' notice (or no notice for clauses (d), (f) and (g)) of such termination
and upon the expiration of the time fixed in such notice, the Term shall
terminate and all rights of Subtenant under this Sublease shall cease. Without
limitation of the foregoing, Sublandlord shall have all other rights at law and
in equity available to Sublandlord as a result of any Event of Default under
this Sublease.
16.2 PAYMENT OF COSTS. Subtenant shall, to the extent permitted by law,
pay as Additional Charges all costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of
Sublandlord, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, as a result of
any Event of Default hereunder.
36
44
16.3 EXCEPTIONS. No Event of Default (other than a failure to make
payment of money or post a required letter of credit) shall be deemed to exist
under clause 16.1(c) or clause 16.1(j) during any time the curing thereof is
prevented by an Unavoidable Delay; provided that, upon the cessation of such
Unavoidable Delay, Subtenant shall remedy such default without further delay.
16.4 CERTAIN REMEDIES. If an Event of Default shall have occurred (and
the event giving rise to such Event of Default has not been cured within the
curative period relating thereto as set forth in Section 16.1) and be
continuing, whether or not this Sublease has been terminated pursuant to
Section 16.1, Subtenant shall, to the extent permitted by law, if required by
Sublandlord so to do, immediately surrender to Sublandlord the Subleased
Property pursuant to the provisions of Section 16.1 and quit the same and
Sublandlord may enter upon and repossess the Subleased Property by reasonable
force, summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and may remove Subtenant
and all other Persons and any and all Subtenant's Personal Property from the
Subleased Property subject to any requirement of law.
16.5 DAMAGES. None of (a) the termination of this Sublease pursuant to
Section 16.1, (b) the repossession of the Subleased Property, (c) the failure
of Sublandlord, notwithstanding reasonable good faith efforts, to relet the
Subleased Property, (d) the reletting of all or any portion thereof, nor (e)
the failure of Sublandlord to collect or receive any rentals due upon any such
reletting, shall relieve Subtenant of its liability and obligations hereunder,
all of which shall survive any such termination, repossession or reletting. In
the event of any such termination, Subtenant shall forthwith pay to Sublandlord
all Rent due and payable with respect to the Subleased Property to, and
including, the date of such termination. Thereafter, Subtenant shall forthwith
pay to Sublandlord, at Sublandlord's option, as and for liquidated and agreed
current damages for Subtenant's default, either:
(a) the sum of:
(i) 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
Subtenant proves could have been reasonably avoided,
(ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the
unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award
exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Subtenant proves could
be reasonably avoided, and
(iii) any other amount necessary to compensate Sublandlord for
all the detriment proximately caused by Subtenant's failure to
perform its obligations under this Sublease or which in the
ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom.
37
45
In making the above determinations, the worth at the time of the award
shall be determined by the court having jurisdiction thereof using, as a
discount factor for determining present value, a rate equal to the Prime
Rate at the time of the Event of Default, and the Additional Rent shall
be deemed to be the same as for the then-current Fiscal Year or, if not
determinable, the immediately preceding Fiscal Year, for the remainder of
the Term, or such other amount as either party shall prove reasonably
could have been earned during the remainder of the Term or any portion
thereof; or
(b) without termination of Subtenant's right to possession of the
Subleased Property, each installment of said Rent and other sums payable
by Subtenant to Sublandlord under the Sublease as the same becomes due
and payable, which Rent and other sums shall bear interest at the maximum
annual rate permitted by the law of the State from the date when due
until paid, and Sublandlord may enforce, by action or otherwise, any
other term or covenant of this Sublease.
16.6 ADDITIONAL REMEDIES. In addition to and without limitation of the
foregoing, Sublandlord shall have all other remedies that may be available
under applicable law.
16.7 APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
and upon filing of a suit or other commencement of judicial proceedings to
enforce the rights of Sublandlord hereunder, Sublandlord shall be entitled, as
a matter of right, to the appointment of a receiver or receivers acceptable to
Sublandlord (i) of the Subleased Property and the Facility and (ii) of the
revenues, earnings, income, products and profits thereof, pending such
proceedings, with such powers as the court making such appointment shall
confer.
16.8 WAIVER. If this Sublease is terminated pursuant to Section 16.1,
Subtenant waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law (a) any right of
redemption, re-entry or repossession and (b) any right to a trial by jury in
the event of summary proceedings to enforce the remedies set forth in this
Article 16.
16.9 APPLICATION OF FUNDS. Any payments received by Sublandlord under any
of the provisions of this Sublease during the existence or continuance of any
Event of Default shall be applied to Subtenant's obligations in such order as
Sublandlord may determine or as may be prescribed by the laws of the State.
ARTICLE 17
SUBLANDLORD'S RIGHT TO CURE SUBTENANT'S DEFAULT
If Subtenant shall fail to make any payment or to perform any act required
to be made or performed under this Sublease, and to cure the same within the
relevant time periods in Section 16.1, Sublandlord, after notice to and demand
upon Subtenant, and without waiving or releasing any obligation or default, may
(but shall be under no obligation to) at any time
38
46
thereafter make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the
expense of Subtenant. Sublandlord may, to the extent permitted by law, enter
upon the Subleased Property for such purpose and take all such action thereon
as, in Sublandlord's good faith judgment, may be necessary or appropriate
therefor. No such entry shall be deemed an eviction of Subtenant. All sums so
paid by Sublandlord and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys'
fees and expenses, to the extent permitted by law) so incurred, together with a
late charge thereon at the Overdue Rate from the date on which such sums or
expenses are paid or incurred by Sublandlord, shall be paid by Subtenant to
Sublandlord on demand. The obligations of Subtenant and rights of Sublandlord
contained in this Article 17 shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Sublease.
ARTICLE 18
OPERATIONS/CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
18.1 ANNUAL PLAN. On or before the Commencement Date (i.e., with respect
to the calendar year in which the Commencement Date occurs), and thereafter on
or before November 30th of each year during the Term hereof, Subtenant shall
deliver to Sublandlord a report with respect to the next succeeding calendar
year (herein, an "Annual Plan"), setting forth the plans and prospects for
Subtenant's business operations at the Subleased Property, which shall include
(i) a forecast or budget of revenues (including, without limitation, Golf
Course Revenues and Other Revenues) and expenses for such period, (ii) a
projection on a month-by-month basis of cash in-flow and working capital, (iii)
proposed plans for marketing, sales, promotion, membership development and
advertising, (iv) a proposed schedule of all fees and charges to be imposed at
the Subleased Property, including, but not limited to, membership fees, greens
fees and cart rental charges, charges for the use of practice range facilities,
food and beverages charges, and fees and charges for other services, amenities
and products that Subtenant intends to offer at the Subleased Property, (v) a
forecast or budget of Capital Expenditures for such period, together with a
plan for the improvement of the golf course and related facilities and a plan
for the improvement of the clubhouse and other buildings at the Subleased
Property, and (vi) description of any other material action concerning the
management, operation or marketing of the Subleased Property contemplated for
the period at issue. Sublandlord shall have the right to request reasonable
modifications to the components of the Annual Plan described in subclause (v)
above with respect to additions or improvements made or to be made to the
Subleased Property, by notice thereof to Subtenant, and Subtenant shall
thereafter so modify such items as reasonably requested by Sublandlord, and
shall submit the revised components of the Annual Plan to Sublandlord within
thirty (30) days following Sublandlord's request for such modifications.
Subtenant shall utilize good faith efforts to implement the Annual Plan for the
respective period or periods covered thereby and shall promptly notify
Sublandlord of any action taken by Subtenant which materially deviates from the
matters set forth in the current Annual Plan. Without limitation of the
foregoing, it is agreed by Subtenant that the Annual Plan shall provide for an
annual budget for Capital Expenditures
39
47
of not less than three percent (3%) of the Golf Course Revenues and Other
Revenues budgeted for such annual period.
18.2 FUNDING OF CAPITAL EXPENDITURE RESERVE ACCOUNT. Within twenty (20)
days after the end of each Fiscal Quarter during the Term hereof, Subtenant
shall deposit into an account at an institution designated by Sublandlord
(herein, the "Capital Expenditure Reserve Account"), the aggregate "Capital
Expenditure Reserve Amounts" (as defined below) required for the immediately
preceding Fiscal Quarter. Such amounts shall be invested as directed by
Subtenant, subject to Sublandlord's reasonable approval. As further security
for the payment and performance of all obligations of Subtenant hereunder,
Subtenant hereby grants to Sublandlord and, if so requested by Sublandlord, to
any Facility Mortgagee designated by Sublandlord, a security interest in and to
the Capital Expenditure Reserve Account and all sums on deposit therein. All
such sums, together with any interest thereon, shall belong to Subtenant and
will be held in the Capital Expenditure Reserve Account and released and
applied in accordance with the terms of this Sublease. Subtenant may make
withdrawals from the Capital Expenditure Reserve Account with respect to
Capital Expenditures that are reflected in the Annual Plan and which pertain to
Subtenant Improvements approved by Sublandlord pursuant to Article 10 hereof,
to the extent such withdrawals are made to reimburse Subtenant for sums paid or
incurred with respect to such Subtenant Improvements. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, Subtenant
shall have no further rights with respect to any amounts on deposit in the
Capital Expenditure Reserve Account, and such amounts shall be deemed to be
held by Sublandlord as further security for Subtenant's obligations hereunder,
to be disbursed or applied in accordance with the same terms and conditions as
set forth in Article 21 hereof with respect to the balance of the security then
on deposit with Sublandlord. For purposes hereof, the term "Capital
Expenditure Reserve Amount" shall mean, for any Fiscal Quarter, an amount equal
to the excess (if any) of (i) three percent (3%) of the Golf Course Revenues
and Other Revenues accruing from the beginning of the "Capital Expenditure
Period" (as defined below) in which such Fiscal Quarter occurs through and
including the end of such Fiscal Quarter (herein, the "Calculation Period")
over (ii) the sum of all Capital Expenditures expended during such Calculation
Period with respect to the Subleased Property, which Capital Expenditures were
made pursuant to an Annual Plan and otherwise pursuant to the terms of Article
10 hereof. For purposes hereof, the term ""Capital Expenditure Period" shall
mean (a) the period from and the Commencement Date and through the fourth (4th)
full Fiscal Quarter thereafter and (b) each successive period of four (4) full
Fiscal Quarters thereafter occurring during the Term thereof. Any amounts
remaining in the Capital Expenditure Reserve Account at the expiration or prior
termination of the Term shall become the sole property of Sublandlord, without
further action by either party.
40
48
ARTICLE 19
LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
Subject to Article 12 regarding permitted contests, Subtenant, at its
expense, shall promptly (a) comply with all Legal Requirements and Insurance
Requirements in respect of the use, operation, maintenance, repair and
restoration of the Subleased Property, whether or not compliance therewith
shall require structural changes in any of the Subleased Improvements or
interfere with the use and enjoyment of the Subleased Property; and (b)
procure, maintain and comply with all licenses, permits, approvals and
authorizations required for any use of the Subleased Property then being made,
and for the proper erection, installation, operation and maintenance of the
Subleased Property or any part thereof.
ARTICLE 20
HOLDING OVER
If Subtenant shall for any reason remain in possession of the Subleased
Property after the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of the Term
hereof, such possession shall be as a tenancy at sufferance during which time
Subtenant shall pay as rental each month or partial month, 125% of the
aggregate of (i) one-twelfth of the aggregate Annual Base Rent and Additional
Rent payable with respect to the last Fiscal Year of the preceding Term; (ii)
all Additional Charges accruing during the month; and (iii) all other sums, if
any, payable by Subtenant pursuant to the provisions of this Sublease with
respect to the Subleased Property. In addition to and without limiting any
other rights or remedies which Sublandlord may have on account of such holding
over, Subtenant shall indemnify Sublandlord and Lessor from and against all
damages suffered by Sublandlord or Lessor, as the case may be, on account of
such holding over, including any damages and claims by tenants or subtenants
entitled to future possession. During such period of tenancy at sufferance,
Subtenant shall be obligated to perform and observe all of the terms, covenants
and conditions of this Sublease, but shall have no rights hereunder other than
the right, to the extent given by law to such tenancies at sufferance, to
continue its occupancy and use of the Subleased Property. Nothing contained
herein shall constitute the consent, express or implied, of Sublandlord to the
holding over of Subtenant after the expiration or earlier termination of this
Sublease.
ARTICLE 21
UPREIT UNITS/REIT SHARES/LETTER OF CREDIT/SECURITY DEPOSIT
21.1 SECURITY DEPOSIT. On or before the Commencement Date, Subtenant
shall post a Letter of Credit with Sublandlord (or shall pledge or otherwise
deliver limited partnership units in Sublandlord, shares of common stock in
Sublandlord's general partner, or other security acceptable to Sublandlord and
described in Section 21.6 below), to be held as a security deposit
41
49
in accordance with the term, of this Article 21. The security deposit shall, at
all times, be in an amount equal to the then Required Security Deposit Amount
(as defined in Exhibit A hereto).
21.2 OFFICER'S CERTIFICATE/AUDIT. Subtenant shall provide an Officer's
Certificate to Sublandlord not later than forty-five (45) days after the end of
each Fiscal Quarter, as to the Required Security Deposit Amount then in effect,
which Certificate shall include a calculation and reasonable detail of such
item. Without limitation of the foregoing, Sublandlord shall have the right,
at any time and from time to time, to audit, whether directly or through its
accountants, the information set forth in any Officer's Certificate to be
delivered under this Article 21, and in connection with such audit, to examine
Subtenant's books and records with respect thereto (including supporting data,
sales tax returns and Subtenant's workpapers). Any determination made by
Sublandlord pursuant to said audit shall be binding upon Subtenant. If any
such audit discloses that the EBITDA (as defined in Exhibit A hereto) was
overstated by such amount so as to result in a purported reduction in the
Required Security Deposit Amount for which Subtenant was not otherwise entitled
based upon the audited EBITDA calculations, then, in such case, Subtenant shall
be responsible for all costs incurred by Sublandlord in connection with such
audit and examination. If the determination of the then Required Security
Deposit Amount indicates that Sublandlord is then holding either less than or
greater than the then required security deposit hereunder, the parties shall
promptly cooperate with one another in either increasing or decreasing the
security deposit so that Sublandlord, within thirty (30) days after delivery of
said Officer's Certificate (or, if Sublandlord disputes such determination,
then within 30 days following any audit conducted by Sublandlord as provide
above in this Section 21.2), is then holding the appropriate security deposit
hereunder.
21.3 TERMS OF LETTER OF CREDIT. In the event that the security under this
Article 21 is in the form of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit shall:
(i) be an irrevocable standby letter of credit from a bank with a
long-term debt rating from Standard & Poor's Corporation or ▇▇▇▇▇'▇
Investors Services Inc. of "A" or better naming Sublandlord (and/or any
Facility Mortgagee if requested by Sublandlord) as beneficiary to secure
Subtenant's obligations hereunder and Subtenant's or an Affiliate of
Subtenant's obligations under the Other Property Leases;
(ii) have a stated amount equal to the Required Security Deposit
Amount plus, if the Letter of Credit is intended to satisfy Subtenant's
obligations under the Other Property Leases with Sublandlord, the amounts
required under such other leases;
(iii) have a term of not less than one year;
(iv) provide that it will be honored upon a signed statement by
Sublandlord that Sublandlord is entitled to draw upon the letter of
credit under this Sublease, and shall require no signature or statement
from any party other than Sublandlord; and
42
50
(v) permit multiple draws by providing that following the honor of
any drafts in an amount less than the aggregate stated amount of the
Letter of Credit, the issuing bank shall return the original letter of
credit to Sublandlord and that Sublandlord's rights as to the remaining
stated amount of the Letter of Credit will not be extinguished.
21.4 DRAWS AGAINST LETTER OF CREDIT/ALTERNATIVE SECURITY; APPLICATION OF
PROCEEDS. Sublandlord may draw against the Letter of Credit (or, in the case
of alternative security under Section 21.6 below, Sublandlord may apply or
otherwise proceed against such security) upon any monetary default under this
Sublease or any other Event of Default under the terms of Section 16.1.
Sublandlord may apply any amounts drawn or received under the Letter of Credit
(or alternative security) to the satisfaction of any obligations owed to
Sublandlord under this Sublease or the Other Property Leases. Any proceeds
from the Letter of Credit (or alternative security) drawn or received but not
so applied shall be held by Sublandlord as a security deposit.
21.5 RENEWAL OF LETTER OF CREDIT. If the Letter of Credit shall expire at
a time when the Letter of Credit is still required under Section 21.1 or
Section 21.2, Subtenant shall renew the Letter of Credit at least 30 days prior
to its expiration. If Subtenant shall fail to renew the Letter of Credit prior
to such time, Sublandlord may draw against the same and hold the proceeds
thereof as a security deposit until such time as Subtenant shall renew the
Letter of Credit. Sublandlord shall hold such security deposit in a separate
account in trust for Subtenant and shall account to Subtenant for any interest
earned thereon.
21.6 OTHER SECURITY. In the event Sublandlord, at its discretion (and
without obligation to do so), permits the security under this Article 21 to be
in a form other than a Letter of Credit, then the alternative security shall be
in the same amount as the "Required Security Deposit Amount" and shall
otherwise be in such form and substance as may be acceptable to Sublandlord, in
its discretion. In such event, Subtenant agrees to enter into a supplement to
this Sublease, at Sublandlord's request, in order to set forth the terms and
conditions governing the alternative security. Without limitation of the
foregoing, Sublandlord hereby agrees that limited partnership units in
Sublandlord or shares of common stock in Sublandlord's general partner shall be
deemed to be an acceptable form of alternative security hereunder. The value
of each such limited partnership unit or share of common stock, for purposes of
this Article 21, shall be (A) with respect to any partnership unit or share
delivered or pledged to Sublandlord as security as of the Commencement Date of
the Term, the "Price to Public (Per Share)", as shown on the cover page of the
final prospectus distributed in connection with the initial public offering of
shares of common stock of Sublandlord's general partner, and (B) with respect
to any partnership unit or share delivered or pledged to Sublandlord as
security at any time following the Commencement Date of the Term, the average
of the New York Stock Exchange closing prices per share of common stock of
Sublandlord's general partner for the twenty (20) consecutive "Trading Days"
(as hereinafter defined) immediately preceding the date of delivery or pledge
of said partnership unit or share as security hereunder. For purposes of the
foregoing, "Trading Day" shall mean a day on which the New York Stock Exchange
is open for the transaction of business.

ARTICLE 22
IMPOUNDS
Without limitation on any obligations of Subtenant set forth herein,
Sublandlord shall have the right, at any time following and during the
continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, to require Subtenant to pay to
Sublandlord an additional monthly sum (each an "Impound Payment") sufficient to
pay the Impound Charges (as hereinafter defined) as they become due. As used
herein, "Impound Charges" shall mean real estate taxes on the Subleased
Property or payments in lieu thereof, rental or other payments due to Lessor
under the Master Lease and premiums on any insurance required by this Sublease.
Sublandlord shall determine the amount of the Impound Charges and of each
Impound Payment. The Impound Payments shall be held in a separate account and
shall not be commingled with other funds of Sublandlord and interest thereon
shall be held for the account of Subtenant. Upon Subtenant's tendering to
Sublandlord of invoices therefor no later than thirty (30) days prior to the
respective due dates thereof, Sublandlord shall apply the Impound Payments to
the payment of the Impound Charges in such order or priority as Sublandlord
shall reasonably determine or as otherwise required by law. If at any time the
Impound Payments theretofore paid to Sublandlord shall be insufficient for the
payment of the Impound Charges, Subtenant, within 10 days after Sublandlord's
written demand therefor, shall pay the amount of the deficiency to Sublandlord.
ARTICLE 23
INDEMNIFICATION; RISK OF LOSS
23.1 SUBTENANT'S INDEMNIFICATION. Notwithstanding the existence of any
insurance provided for in Article 13, and without regard to the policy limits
of any such insurance, Subtenant will protect, indemnify, save harmless and
defend Sublandlord, Lessor, each Facility Mortgagee and any mortgagee of Lessor
from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties,
causes of action, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses), to the extent permitted by law, imposed upon or incurred by or
asserted against such parties by reason of:
(a) any accident, injury to or death of Persons or loss of or damage
to property occurring on or about the Subleased Property or adjoining
sidewalks, including, but not limited to, any accident, injury to or
death of Person or loss of or damage to property resulting from golf
balls, golf clubs, golf shoes, lawn mowers or other gardening devices,
golf carts, tractors or other motorized vehicles present on or adjacent
to the Subleased Property;
(b) any use, misuse, non-use, condition, maintenance or repair by
Subtenant of the Subleased Property;
44
52
(c) any Impositions (which are the obligations of Subtenant to pay
pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Sublease);
(d) any failure on the part of Subtenant to perform or comply with
any of the terms of this Sublease;
(e) the non-performance of any of the terms and provisions of any
and all existing and future subsubleases of the Subleased Property to be
performed by the subsublandlord (i.e., Subtenant) thereunder;
(f) any "dram shop" liability associated with the sale and/or
consumption of alcohol at the Subleased Property; and
(g) any liability Sublandlord, Lessor, any Facility Mortgagee or any
mortgagee of Lessor may incur or suffer as a result of any permitted
contest by Subtenant pursuant to Article 12.
23.2 SUBLANDLORD'S INDEMNIFICATION OF SUBTENANT. Sublandlord shall
protect, indemnify, save harmless and defend Subtenant from and against all
liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs
and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) imposed upon or incurred by
or asserted against Subtenant as a result of Sublandlord's active negligence or
willful misconduct.
23.3 MECHANICS OF INDEMNIFICATION. As soon as reasonably practicable
after receipt by the indemnified party of notice of any liability or claim
incurred by or asserted against the indemnified party that is subject to
indemnification under this Article 23, the indemnified party shall give notice
thereof to the indemnifying party. The indemnified party may at its option
demand indemnity under this Article 23 as soon as a claim has been threatened
by a third party regardless of whether an actual loss has been suffered, so
long as the indemnified party shall in good faith determine that such claim is
not otherwise frivolous and that the indemnified party may be liable for, or
otherwise incur, a loss as a result thereof and shall give notice of such
determination to the indemnifying party. The indemnified party shall permit
the indemnifying party, at its option and expense, to assume the defense of any
such claim by counsel selected by the indemnifying party and reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party, and to settle or otherwise dispose of
the same; provided, however, that the indemnified party may at all times
participate in such defense at its expense; and provided further, however, that
the indemnifying party shall not, in defense of any such claim, except with the
prior written consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any
judgment or to enter into any settlement that does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff in question
to the indemnified party and its affiliates a release of all liabilities in
respect of such claims, or that does not result only in the payment of money
damages by the indemnifying party. If the indemnifying party shall fail to
undertake such defense within 30 days after such notice, or within such shorter
time as may be reasonable under the circumstances, then the indemnified
45
53
party shall have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement
of such liability or claim on behalf of and for the account of the indemnifying
party.
23.4 SURVIVAL OF INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS. Subtenant's or
Sublandlord's liability for a breach of the provision of this Article 23
arising during the Term hereof shall survive any termination of this Sublease
for a period of one (1) year (i.e., meaning that Sublandlord or Subtenant, as
the case may be, must give notice to the other of such claim prior to the
expiration of said 1-year period).
23.5 RISK OF LOSS. During the Term of this Sublease, the risk of loss or
of decrease in the enjoyment and beneficial use of the Subleased Property as a
consequence of the damage or destruction thereof by fire, the elements,
casualties, thefts, riots, wars or otherwise, or in consequence of
foreclosures, attachments, levies or executions (other than by Sublandlord and
those claiming from, through or under Sublandlord) is assumed by Subtenant. In
the absence of gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Sublease
by Sublandlord pursuant to Section 26.3, Sublandlord shall in no event be
answerable or accountable therefor nor shall any of the events mentioned in
this Section 23.5 entitle Subtenant to any abatement of Rent.
ARTICLE 24
SUBSUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT
24.1 PROHIBITION AGAINST SUBSUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT. Subject to Section
24.3, Subtenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Sublandlord
(which consent Sublandlord may grant or withhold in its sole and absolute
discretion, except as hereinafter expressly provided), assign, mortgage,
pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise transfer (except to an Affiliate of
Subtenant) this Sublease or any interest herein, all or any part of the
Subleased Property or suffer or permit this Sublease or the leasehold estate
created hereby or any other rights arising under this Sublease to be assigned,
transferred, mortgaged, pledged, hypothecated or encumbered, in whole or in
part, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law; provided,
however, that Sublandlord's consent to a proposed assignment of this Sublease
shall not be withheld if, as of the date of such assignment (a) the proposed
assignee shall also be the assignee of all Other Property Leases, in accordance
with the terms and conditions for assignment set forth therein, (b) the
proposed assignee (together with any proposed guarantor(s) of the proposed
assignee's obligations under this Sublease) has a net worth, as evidenced by
audited financial statements, of at least Thirty Million Dollars
($30,000,000.00), and (c) the proposed assignee, together with its Affiliates,
manages or operates not less than thirty (30) golf courses (hereinafter
collectively called the "Minimum Assignee Qualifications"). Sublandlord shall
have a period of thirty (30) days after delivery to it of a request for
assignment together with the financial and other information on the proposed
assignee (and any proposed guarantors) necessary for Sublandlord to evaluate
whether the proposed assignee satisfies the Minimum Assignee Qualifications
and Sublandlord's failure to respond within thirty (30) days of
46
54
Sublandlord's receipt of a request for assignment and all required information
(as evidenced by a receipt signed and dated by Sublandlord) shall be deemed
Sublandlord's approval of said assignee and said assignment. Any notice
withholding consent must specify in detail the reasonable grounds for
Sublandlord so withholding its consent. For purposes of this Section 24.1, an
assignment of this Sublease shall be deemed to include any Change of Control of
Subtenant, as if such Change of Control were an assignment of this Sublease.
24.2 CHANGES IN CONTROL. A Change of Control requiring the consent of
Sublandlord shall mean:
(a) the issuance and/or sale by Subtenant or the sale by any
stockholder of Subtenant of a Controlling interest in Subtenant to a
Person other than an Affiliate of Subtenant, other than in either case a
distribution to the public pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (a "Registered
Offering");
(b) the sale, conveyance or other transfer of all or substantially
all of the assets of Subtenant (whether by operation of law or
otherwise);
(c) any other transaction, or series of transactions, which results
in (i) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Management no longer being the sole managing member of
Subtenant or (ii) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Management no longer owning, directly or
indirectly, beneficially at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting
and economic membership or ownership interests in Subtenant, or (iii)
Affiliates of Subtenant no longer having Control of Subtenant (in each
such case, other than through a Registered Offering); or
(d) any transaction pursuant to which Subtenant is merged with or
consolidated into another entity (other than an entity owned and
Controlled by an Affiliate of Subtenant), and Subtenant is not the
surviving entity;
provided, however, that Sublandlord shall not withold its
consent to a proposed assignment of this Sublease resulting from any
proposed Change of Control of Subtenant, so long as (i) for a Change of
Control under Sections 24.2(b) or (d) above, the Person formed by or
surviving such transaction as the assignee of Subtenant's interest
hereunder satisfies the "Minimum Assignee Qualifications" described in
Section 24.1 above, and (ii) for a Change of Control under Sections
24.1(a) or (c) above, the Person obtaining control of Subtenant as a
result of such transaction, together, together with Person's Affiliates,
of such transaction, together with such Person's Affiliates, satisfies
the "Minimum Assignee Qualifications" described in Section 24.1 above.

55
24.3 SUBSUBLEASES.
24.3.1 PERMITTED SUBSUBLEASES. Subtenant shall not assign this
Sublease or subsublet all or any part of the Subleased Property without
first having obtained Sublandlord's prior written consent, at
Sublandlord's sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Sublandlord agrees that it shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to
any requested subsublease of portions of the Subleased Property to
concessionaires or licensees to:
(a) operate golf professionals' shops;
(b) operate golf driving ranges;
(c) provide golf lessons;
(d) operate restaurants;
(e) operate bars; and

24.3.2 TERMS OF SUBSUBLEASE. Each subsublease of any of the
Subleased Property shall be subject and subordinate to the provisions of
this Sublease. No subsublease made as permitted by Section 24.3.1 shall
affect or reduce any of the obligations of Subtenant hereunder, and all
such obligations shall continue in full force and effect as if no
subsublease had been made. No subsublease shall impose any additional
obligations on Sublandlord under this Sublease.
24.3.3 COPIES. Subtenant shall, within 10 days after the execution
and delivery of any subsublease permitted by Section 24.3.1, deliver a
duplicate original thereof to Sublandlord.
48
56
24.3.4 ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS IN SUBSUBLEASES. As security for
performance of its obligations under this Sublease, Subtenant hereby
grants, conveys and assigns to Sublandlord all right, title and interest
of Subtenant in and to all subsubleases now in existence or hereinafter
entered into for any or all of the Subleased Property, and all
extensions, modifications and renewals thereof and all rents, issues and
profits therefrom. Sublandlord hereby grants to Subtenant a license to
collect and enjoy all rents and other sums of money payable under any
subsublease of any of the Subleased Property; provided, however, that
Sublandlord shall have the absolute right at any time after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default upon notice
to Subtenant and any subsubtenants to revoke said license and to collect
such rents and sums of money and to retain the same. Subtenant shall not
(i) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, consent to, cause or allow any material modification or
alteration of any of the terms, conditions or covenants of any of the
subsubleases or the termination thereof, without the prior written
approval of Sublandlord nor (ii) accept any rents (other than customary
security deposits) more than 90 days in advance of the accrual thereof
nor permit anything to be done, the doing of which, nor omit or refrain
from doing anything, the omission of which, will or could be a breach of
or default in the terms of any of the subsubleases.
24.3.5 LICENSES, ETC. For purposes of Sections 24.1, 24.3 and
24.5, subsubleases shall be deemed to include any licenses, concession
arrangements, management contracts or other arrangements relating to the
possession or use of all or any part of the Subleased Property.
24.4 ASSIGNMENT. Upon any assignment permitted under this Sublease
(either as a matter of right or with Sublandlord's consent), the assignee shall
expressly assume, for the benefit of Sublandlord, all obligations and
liabilities of Subtenant hereunder arising from and after the effective date of
such assignment, whereupon the assignor shall, from and after the effective
date of such assignment, be relieved of all liability for any obligations
arising from and after said effective date. No consent to any assignment in a
particular instance shall be deemed to be a waiver of the prohibition set forth
in Article 24. Any assignment or other transfer of all or any portion of
Subtenant's interest in the Sublease in contravention of Article 24 shall be
voidable at Sublandlord's option. All terms and conditions of this Sublease
shall continue to apply from and after the effective date of such assignment
(including, without limitation, the terms of Sections 16.1(j) and 16.1(k)
hereof).
24.5 REIT LIMITATIONS. Anything contained in this Sublease to the
contrary notwithstanding, Subtenant shall not (i) subsublet or assign the
Subleased Property or this Sublease on any basis such that the rental or other
amounts to be paid by the subsubtenant or assignee thereunder would be based,
in whole or in part, on the income or profits derived by the business
activities of the subsubtenant or assignee; (ii) subsublet or assign the
Subleased Property or this Sublease to any Person in which Sublandlord owns,
directly or indirectly (by applying constructive ownership rules set forth in
Section 856(d)(5) of the Code), a 10% or greater
49
57
interest; or (iii) subsublet or assign the Subleased Property or this Sublease
in any other manner or otherwise derive any income which could cause any
portion of the amounts received by Sublandlord pursuant to this Sublease or any
subsublease to fail to qualify as "rents from real property" within the meaning
of Section 856(d) of the Code, or which could cause any other income received
by Sublandlord to fail to qualify as income described in Section 856(c)(2) of
the Code. The requirements of this Section 24.5 shall likewise apply to any
further subleasing by any subsubtenant.
ARTICLE 25

ARTICLE 26
SUBLANDLORD MORTGAGES
26.1 SUBLANDLORD MAY GRANT LIENS. Subject to Section 26.2, without the
consent of Subtenant, Sublandlord may, from time to time, directly or
indirectly, create or otherwise cause to exist any lien, encumbrance or title
retention agreement ("Sublandlord's Encumbrance") upon the Subleased Property,
or any portion thereof or interest therein, whether to secure any borrowing or
other means of financing or refinancing. Subject to Subtenant's
non-disturbance rights described in Section 26.2 and to the other terms of this
Article 26, this Sublease is and at all times shall be subject and subordinate
to any ground or underlying leases (including, without limitation, the Master
Lease), and the lien, terms, conditions and provisions of, and to each and
every advance heretofore or hereafter made under, any Facility Mortgages or
other mortgages, trust deeds or like encumbrances, which may now or hereafter
affect the Subleased Property and to all renewals, modifications,
consolidations, replacements and extensions of any such lease (including,
without limitation, the Master Lease), Facility Mortgage, other mortgage, trust
deed or like encumbrance. This clause shall be self-operative and no further
instrument of subordination shall be required by any ground or underlying
lessor or by any mortgagee or beneficiary, affecting any lease or the Subleased
Property. In confirmation of such subordination, Subtenant shall execute
promptly any certificate that Sublandlord may request for such purposes.
26.2 SUBTENANT'S NON-DISTURBANCE RIGHTS. So long as Subtenant shall pay
all Rent as the same becomes due and shall fully comply with all of the terms
of this Sublease and fully
53
61
perform its obligations hereunder, none of Subtenant's rights under this
Sublease shall be disturbed by the holder of any Facility Mortgage (whether
created before or after the Commencement Date) and any other Sublandlord's
Encumbrance which is created or otherwise comes into existence after the
Commencement Date.
26.3 BREACH BY SUBLANDLORD. It shall be a breach of this Sublease if
Sublandlord shall fail to observe or perform any material term, covenant or
condition of this Sublease on its part to be performed and such failure shall
continue for a period of 30 days after notice thereof from Subtenant, unless
such failure cannot with due diligence be cured within a period of 30 days, in
which case such failure shall not be deemed to continue if Sublandlord, within
said 30-day period, proceeds promptly and with due diligence to cure the
failure and diligently completes the curing thereof. The time within which
Sublandlord shall be obligated to cure any such failure shall also be subject
to extension of time due to the occurrence of any Unavoidable Delay.
26.4 FACILITY MORTGAGE PROTECTION. Subtenant agrees that the holder of
any Facility Mortgage or other Sublandlord Encumbrance shall have no duty,
liability or obligation to perform any of the obligations of Sublandlord under
this Sublease (except for such obligations first occurring after such holder
takes title to the Subleased Property), but that in the event of Sublandlord's
default with respect to any such obligation, Subtenant will give any such
holder whose name and address have been furnished to Subtenant in writing for
such purpose notice of Sublandlord's default and allow such holder thirty (30)
days following receipt of such notice for the cure of said default before
invoking any remedies Subtenant may have by reason thereof. Such 30-day cure
period shall be extended (including without limitation such extensions as are
necessary for such holder to take possession of and/or foreclose upon the
Subleased Property) if the failure cannot be cured by said holder within the
foregoing 30-day period, so long as said holder proceeds with due diligence to
cure the failure. Nothing herein contained shall be construed however, to
obligate Facility Mortgagee to cure any default by Sublandlord occurring prior
to any date on which Facility Mortgagee shall succeed to the rights of
Sublandlord, it being expressly agreed that under no circumstances shall
Facility Mortgagee be obligated to remedy any such default.
26.5 ATTORNMENT. In the event that the interest of Sublandlord is
transferred by reason of or assigned in lieu of foreclosure, the exercise of a
power of sale or by any other proceedings or method for the enforcement of a
Facility Mortgage, then this Sublease shall nevertheless continue in full force
and effect and, upon the request of Facility Mortgagee or Successor Owner (as
hereinafter defined), Subtenant shall attorn to Facility Mortgagee or Successor
Owner and shall recognize such person as its landlord. Although the foregoing
provision shall be self-operative, in order to confirm such attornment, upon
the request of Facility Mortgagee or Successor Owner, Subtenant shall execute
and deliver to Facility Mortgagee or Successor Owner (i) an agreement of
attornment in form and content reasonably satisfactory to Facility Mortgagee or
Successor Owner, confirming the foregoing attornment and agreeing to perform
all the terms, covenants and conditions of the Sublease on Subtenant's part to
be performed for the benefit of
54
62
Facility Mortgagee or Successor Owner with the same force and effect as if
Facility Mortgagee or Successor Owner was the sublandlord originally named in
this Sublease or (ii) a new lease with Facility Mortgagee or Successor Owner,
as sublandlord, for the remaining term of the Sublease and otherwise on the
same terms and conditions and with the same options, if any, then remaining.
For purposes hereof, "Successor Owner" shall mean any Person who obtains the
interest of Sublandlord in the Subleased Property pursuant to a foreclosure or
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or power of sale (collectively, a "Facility
Mortgage Foreclosure") of a Facility Mortgage.
26.6 FACILITY MORTGAGEE OR SUCCESSOR OWNER AS SUBLANDLORD. If Facility
Mortgagee or Successor Owner shall succeed to the interest of Sublandlord,
neither Facility Mortgagee nor Successor Owner nor any successor thereto
(herein, in each case, a "Successor Sublandlord") shall have any personal
liability as successor to Sublandlord, and Subtenant shall look only to the
estate and property of said Successor Sublandlord in the Subleased Property or
the proceeds thereof for the satisfaction of Subtenant's remedies for the
collection of a judgment (or other judicial process) requiring the payment of
money in the event of any default by such Successor Sublandlord as landlord
under the Sublease. In addition, Facility Mortgagee, as holder of the Facility
Mortgage, and each Successor Sublandlord, as landlord under the Sublease when
it succeeds to that position, shall in no event (i) be liable to Subtenant for
any act or omission of the "Sublandlord" existing immediately prior to the
Facility Mortgage Foreclosure (the "Foreclosure Sublandlord") or any landlord
prior to such Foreclosure Sublandlord, (ii) be subject to any offset or defense
which Subtenant might have against the Foreclosure Sublandlord or any landlord
prior to such Foreclosure Sublandlord, (iii) be liable to Subtenant for any
liability or obligation of the Foreclosure Sublandlord or any landlord prior to
such Foreclosure Sublandlord, occurring prior to the date that the Successor
Sublandlord acquires title to the Subleased Property, or (iv) be liable to
Subtenant for any security or other deposits given to secure the performance of
Subtenant's obligation under the Sublease, except to that extent that Facility
Mortgagee or Successor Owner shall have acknowledged actual receipt of such
security or other deposits in writing. No other property or assets of a
Successor Sublandlord shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement
procedure for the satisfaction of Subtenant's remedies under or with respect to
this Sublease, the relationship of the landlord and the tenant thereunder or
Subtenant's use or occupancy of the Subleased Property.
26.7 PREPAYMENTS AND MODIFICATIONS OF THE SUBLEASE. No prepayment of Rent
due under this Sublease of more than one month in advance shall be binding upon
Successor Owner or Facility Mortgagee, as holder of the Facility Mortgage or as
landlord under this Sublease if Facility Mortgagee succeeds to that position,
unless consented to by Facility Mortgagee, and from and after the date hereof,
no amendment, modification, surrender or cancellation of the Sublease shall be
binding upon Successor Owner or Facility Mortgagee, as holder of the Facility
Mortgage or as landlord under this Sublease if Facility Mortgagee succeeds to
that position, unless such amendment, modification, surrender or cancellation
is done in compliance with the terms of the Facility Mortgage.

ARTICLE 31
RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER
If Sublandlord desires to sell its interest in the Subleased Property to a
third party purchaser at any time during the Term (other than in connection
with a foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of, or power of sale under,
any Facility Mortgage), then, prior to selling, or entering into a binding
agreement to sell its interest in the Subleased Property to such third party
purchaser, Sublandlord shall deliver written notice to Subtenant (herein,
"Sublandlord's Notice") setting forth (i) the proposed closing date (which date
shall be no less than sixty (60) days and no more than one hundred eighty (180)
days following the date of said Sublandlord's Notice), and (ii) the proposed
purchase price at which Sublandlord desires to sell its interest in the
Subleased Property, and Subtenant shall thereupon have a right of first offer
(herein, the "First Offer Right") to purchase Sublandlord's interest in the
Subleased Property in accordance with the following terms and conditions.
31.1 EXERCISE OF FIRST OFFER RIGHT. Upon Subtenant's receipt of any such
Sublandlord's Notice, Subtenant shall have a period of twenty-one (21) days
following receipt of such Sublandlord's Notice (herein, "Subtenant's Election
Period") to exercise Subtenant's First Offer Right hereunder. If Subtenant so
exercises its First Offer Right, then Sublandlord's interest in the Subleased
Property shall be sold to Subtenant upon the terms hereinafter set forth. In
the event Subtenant fails to notify Sublandlord, in writing, within Subtenant's
Election Period, that Subtenant has exercised its First Offer Right hereunder,
then Subtenant's rights under this Article 31, shall terminate and be null and
void, and Sublandlord shall have no further obligation under this Article 31;
provided, however, that in the event Sublandlord thereafter fails to close on
any sale of its interest in the Subleased Property within a period of one
hundred eighty (180) days following the expiration of Subtenant's Election
Period (as such period may be extended, if Sublandlord is then under contract
to sell its interest in the Subleased Property to a third party purchaser,
which extension shall continue until the termination of such contract or the
closing of the sale thereunder, whichever first occurs), then Subtenant shall
thereafter again have a First Offer Right with respect to Sublandlord's
interest in the Subleased Property as provided in this Article 31.
Additionally, if the purchase price at which Sublandlord subsequently elects to
sell the Subleased Property to a third party is less than ninety percent (90%)
of the purchase price set forth in Sublandlord's Notice, then Subtenant's First
Offer Right shall be reinstated, and, prior to Sublandlord selling or entering
into a binding agreement to sell, its interest in the
60
68
Subleased Property at such lower price, Sublandlord shall deliver a new
Sublandlord's Notice to Subtenant reflecting the new offered purchase price,
all in accordance with the terms of this Article 31.
31.2 FURTHER DOCUMENTATION. If Subtenant has validly exercised its First
Offer Right, then within fifteen (15) Business Days after the request by either
party and determination of the purchase price as described below, Sublandlord
and Subtenant shall enter into a written agreement confirming the terms,
conditions and provisions applicable to the sale of Sublandlord's interest in
the Subleased Property, including the proposed closing date and purchase price
with respect to such transaction and the other terms set forth in Sublandlord's
Notice or otherwise provided for in this Article 31. Each party further agrees
to execute such documents and to take such actions as may be reasonably
requested by the other party in order to effectuate the sale transaction
contemplated by any such Sublandlord's Notice.
31.3 PURCHASE PRICE. The purchase price of Sublandlord's interest in the
Subleased Property under this Article 31 shall be the price set forth in
Sublandlord's Notice, subject to modification as described in the last sentence
of Section 31.1.
31.4 MECHANICS OF PURCHASE. If Subtenant's First Offer Right hereunder is
exercised, the following closing procedure shall apply:
(a) The closing date ("Closing Date") for the sale of Sublandlord's
interest in the Subleased Property to Subtenant shall be on the date set
forth in Sublandlord's Notice. Payment of the purchase price and the
delivery of the deed (the "Closing") shall be made at the office of
Sublandlord or its attorneys or at such other place as the parties may
agree. At the request of either party, the Closing shall be effected
through a deed and money escrow, the cost of which escrow shall be borne
equally by Sublandlord and Subtenant. The purchase price shall be
payable to Sublandlord on the Closing Date in immediately available funds
or by certified or cashier's check upon delivery of the applicable
assignment document(s) to Subtenant and performance of Sublandlord's
other obligations as set forth herein.
(b) The sale of Sublandlord's interest in the Subleased Property
shall be made by an assignment and assumption document (which, at the
option of Subtenant, may be in recordable form and the form of which
assignment and assumption document shall be attached as an exhibit to the
final contract between the parties) assigning all of Sublandlord's
interest in the Subleased Property to Subtenant (or its designee) and
other documentation necessary to transfer Sublandlord's interest in the
Subleased Property to Subtenant, provided that Subtenant shall accept
Sublandlord's interest in the Subleased Property subject only to (A) the
lien of current general real estate taxes and special assessments not
then due and payable; (B) any acts or doings caused or suffered by
Subtenant; (C) private, public and utility easements and roads and
highways, if any; (D) covenants, conditions and restrictions of record;
(E) existing leases and tenancies
61
69
(including, without limitation, the Master Lease); and (F) such other
liens and encumbrances which were in effect on the date that Sublandlord
obtained its interest in the Subleased Property or which are otherwise
permitted to be imposed on the Subleased Property pursuant to the terms
hereof (collectively, the "Permitted Title Exceptions").
(c) Sublandlord shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Subtenant,
not later than twenty (20) days prior to the Closing, as evidence of
Sublandlord's interest in the Subleased Property, a commitment for a
standard owner's leasehold title insurance policy in the aggregate amount
of the purchase price as provided hereunder. Such title commitment shall
name Subtenant or its designee as the proposed insured and show Subtenant
as holding a leasehold interest in the Subleased Property, subject only
to (a) the Permitted Title Exceptions, and (b) other title exceptions
pertaining to mortgage liens of a definite or ascertainable amount which
may be removed at Closing by the payment of money, and which Sublandlord
shall so remove or cause to be removed concurrently with the Closing.
(d) The payment of all prorations, transfer taxes, title insurance
charges, escrow fees, recording fees and other expenses, fees and charges
shall be made by the party from whom such payment is due in accordance
with statutory requirements or in accordance with the custom at the time
of the Closing for sales of properties (or interests therein) similar to
the Subleased Property located in the geographical area where the
Subleased Property is located; provided, however, that there shall be no
proration of Impositions inasmuch as Subtenant is fully responsible
therefor under this Lease.
(e) Sublandlord's interest in the Subleased Property shall be
transferred to Subtenant under this Article 31 in its as-is condition, it
being acknowledged that Sublandlord has made and shall make no
representations whatsoever as to the condition of said Subleased Property
or any other matters pertaining thereto.
31.5 REIT QUALIFICATION LIMITATION. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Sublease, Sublandlord shall not be required to sell or transfer its
interest in the Subleased Property, or any portion thereof, which is a real
estate asset as defined in Section 856(c)(6)(B), or functionally equivalent
successor provision, of the Code, to Subtenant if Sublandlord's counsel advises
Sublandlord that such sale or transfer may not be a sale of property described
in Section 857(b)(6)(C), or functionally equivalent successor provision, of the
Code. If Sublandlord determines not to sell such property pursuant to the
above sentence, Subtenant's First Offer Right under this Article 31 shall
continue in full force and effect.
31.6 EFFECTIVENESS OF FIRST OFFER RIGHT. The First Offer Right described
in this Article 28 is for the personal benefit of the original named Subtenant
hereunder, and such right is non-assignable and may not be exercised by any
other party. Without limitation of the foregoing, in the event Subtenant
assigns this Sublease or subsubleases all or greater than fifty percent (50%)
of the area of the Subleased Property, then Subtenant's First Offer Right under
62
70
this Article 31 shall thereupon terminate and be deemed null and void.
Subtenant shall have no right to exercise its First Offer Right under this
Article 31, and any such exercise shall (at Sublandlord's election) be null and
void, if, at the time of such exercise or as of the Closing Date, Subtenant
shall be in default of any of its obligations hereunder.
