electrical systems thereof and (ii) all water, sewer, electric, gas, telephone
and drainage facilities and all other utilities required to adequately service
such Improvements for their intended use are available pursuant to adequate
permits (including any that may be required under applicable Environmental
Laws). There is no action, suit or proceeding (including any proceeding in

or casualty would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Lessee's ability to

Hazardous Substance on, at, under or from the Property, and (ii) the use and
operation of the Improvements as permitted pursuant to the Lease have been
obtained from the appropriate Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction or
from private parties.
(ee) Offering. Neither Lessee nor anyone acting on behalf of the
Lessee has directly or indirectly offered any interest in the Property, the
Trust Estate or the Notes for sale to, or solicited any offer to acquire any of
the same from, anyone other than the Investor, the Lenders, and other
institutions, each of which is believed capable of evaluating and bearing the
risks of investment in the transactions contemplated hereby.
(ff) Tax Registration. The transactions contemplated hereby are
either (i) not required to be registered pursuant to Code Section 6111 and any
regulations promulgated thereunder or (ii) required to be registered pursuant to
Code Section 6111, and, if so required, Lessee will properly and timely register
such transaction in accordance with Code Section 6111 and any regulations
promulgated thereunder and will provide the correct registration number to
Lessor. No inference is to be drawn from this Section 7.3(ff) or Section 12.9
that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements (or any
provision thereof) are a confidential corporate tax shelter subject to
registration within the meaning of Code Section 6111 (and the regulations
thereunder), a "potentially abusive tax shelter" within the meaning of Code
Section 6112 (and the regulations thereunder) or a transaction requiring a
disclosure statement under Temporary Regulation Section 1.6011-4T or (ii) Lessee
or any other signatory to this Participation Agreement or any other Operative
Agreement is a promoter, organizer, manager, seller or investor in a corporate
tax shelter, as any of those terms are defined under Code Section 6111 or 6112
(and any other regulations thereunder). It is understood and agreed that the
representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Section 7.3(ff) are
for the purpose of Section 12.9 hereof.

SECTION 11
TRANSFER OF INTEREST
SECTION 11.1 ASSIGNMENTS. Each Participant may, without the consent of

pursuant to an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit F (an
"Assignment and Acceptance") to one or more Persons, with respect to Loan
Commitments and Loans or Investor Commitments and Investor Contributions,
provided, that (x) each such assignment shall be of a constant, not varying,
percentage of all of the assigning Participant's rights and obligations under
the Operative Agreements and (y) either (A) such assignee has a minimum net
worth of not less than $100,000,000 or (B) in the absence of a Lease Event of
Default, such assignee is approved by the Lessee, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed (such assignee, an "Eligible Assignee"). In the
case of assignments made by a Lender, any such assignment shall be in a minimum
aggregate amount of $5,000,000 of its Loan Commitment (or the balance of such
Loan Commitment, if less) and the aggregate remaining Loan Commitment of the
assigning Lender shall, after giving effect to the proposed assignment, be at
least $5,000,000 or if less, zero. In the case of assignments made by an
Investor, any such assignment shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $500,000
of its Investor Commitment (or the balance of such Investor Commitment, if less)
and the aggregate remaining Investor Commitment of the assigning Investor shall,
after giving effect to the proposed assignment, be at least $500,000 or if less,
zero. Any assignment hereunder shall be effective upon delivery to the Agent and
the Lessor of written notice of the assignment together with a transfer fee of
$2,500 payable by the assignor Participant or the assignee Participant to the
Agent for its own account. The assigning Participant will give prompt notice to
the Lessee, the Agent and the Lessor of any such assignment. Upon the
effectiveness of any such assignment (and after notice to and consent of the
Lessee, the Agent and the Lessor, as provided herein), the assignee shall become
a "Lender" or "Investor", as the case may be, for all purposes of the Operative
Agreements and, to the extent of such assignment, the assigning Participant
shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder to the extent of the Loans or
Investor Contributions, as the case may be, and Commitment components being
assigned. The Agent and the Lessor agree that upon notice of any such assignment
and surrender of the appropriate Note or Notes they will promptly provide to the
assigning Lender and to the assignee separate promissory notes in the amount of
their respective interests substantially in the form of the original Note (but
with notation thereon that it is given in substitution for and replacement of
the original Note or any replacement notes thereof). The Lessee shall not be
responsible for any costs or expenses incurred by any Participant, and shall not
be required to incur or sustain any costs in connection with an assignment of
all or any of its rights and obligations in connection with an assignment
pursuant to this Section 11.1.

SECTION 11.2 PARTICIPATIONS. Each Participant may, without the consent
of the Lessee, sell, transfer, grant or assign participations in all or any part
of such Participant's interests and obligations hereunder and under the other
Operative Agreements; provided, that (i) such selling Participant shall remain a
"Lender" or "Investor", as the case may be, for all purposes under the Operative
Agreements (such selling Participant's obligations under the Operative
Agreements remaining unchanged) and the sub-participant shall not constitute a
Lender or a Investor, as the case may be, hereunder, (ii) no such
sub-participant shall have, or be granted, rights to approve any amendment or
waiver relating to the Operative Agreements except to the extent any such
amendment or waiver would (A) reduce the principal of or rate of interest or
Yield on or fees in respect of any Loans or Investor Contributions in which the
sub-participant is participating, (B) postpone the date fixed for any payment of
principal (including extension of the Expiration Date or the date of any
mandatory prepayment), interest, Yield or fees in which the sub-participant is
participating, or (C) release all or substantially all of the collateral or
guarantees (except as expressly provided in the Operative Agreements) supporting
any of the Loans or Investor Contributions or Commitments in which the
sub-participant is participating, and (iii) sub-sub-participations by the
sub-participant (except to an Affiliate, parent company or Affiliate of a parent
company of the Participant) shall be prohibited. In the case of any such
participation, the sub-participant shall not have any rights under the Operative
Agreements (the sub-participant's rights against the selling Participant in
respect of such participation to be those set forth in the participation
agreement with such Participant creating such participation) and all amounts
payable by the Lessee hereunder shall be determined as if such Participant had
not sold such participation; provided, however, that such sub-participant shall
be entitled to receive additional amounts under Sections 12.3 and 12.7 on the
same basis as if it were a Participant (but only to the extent that the
Participant would have been entitled to receive such additional amounts with
respect to the interest participated had it not sold such participation). The
Lessee shall not be responsible for any costs or expenses incurred by any
Participant in connection with a sale, transfer, grant or assignment of
participations pursuant to this Section 11.2.

participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section

participant, any information relating to the Lessee or the Transactions,
provided, that prior to such disclosure such proposed assignee or participant
shall have agreed in writing to keep any such information confidential
substantially on the terms of Section 11.3(b).
(b) The Agent and the Participants understand that some of the
information and documents furnished to them pursuant to the Operative Agreements
may be confidential and each of them agrees that it will keep all non-public
information, documents and agreements so furnished to it confidential and will
make no disclosure to other Persons of such information or agreements until it
shall have become public, except disclosure may be made (i) to the extent
required in connection with maters involving operations under or enforcement or
amendment of the Operative Agreements; (ii) to the Lenders' and the Investor's
examiners and auditors or in accordance with the Lenders' or Investor's
obligations under law or regulations or pursuant to subpoenas or other process
to make information available to governmental agencies and
30
36
examiners or to others; (iii) to any corporate affiliate of any Participant so
long as such affiliate agrees to accept such information or agreement subject to
the restrictions provided in this Section 11.3(b); (iv) to the Participant's
counsel and other professional advisors so long as such Persons are instructed
to keep such information confidential in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 11.3(b); (v) to proposed assignees and participants in accordance with
Section 11.3(a); and (vi) with the prior written consent of the Lessee.
(c) Anything in this Section 11 to the contrary notwithstanding,
any Participant may without the consent of Lessee, the Agent or the Lessor
assign and pledge all or any portion of the Notes held by it to any Federal
Reserve Bank, the United States Treasury or to any other financial institution
as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board and
any operating circular issued by the Federal Reserve System and/or the Federal
Reserve Bank or otherwise; provided, any payment by Lessee for the benefit of
the assigning or pledging Participant shall be deemed to satisfy Lessee's
obligations with respect thereto.
SECTION 12
INDEMNIFICATION
SECTION 12.1 GENERAL INDEMNITY. The Lessee, whether or not any of the
transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, hereby assumes liability
for and agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person on
an After Tax Basis from and against any Claims which may be imposed on, incurred
by or asserted against an Indemnified Person (whether because of action or
omission of such Indemnified Person or otherwise, whether or not such
Indemnified Person shall also be indemnified as to any such Claim by any other
Person and whether or not such Claim arises or accrues prior to the Closing Date
or after the Expiration Date, in any way relating to or arising or alleged to
arise out of (i) the financing, refinancing, purchase, acceptance, rejection,
ownership, design, construction, delivery, acceptance, nondelivery, leasing,
subleasing, possession, use, operation, repair, maintenance, modification,
transportation, condition, operation, sale, return, repossession (whether by
summary proceedings or otherwise), or any other disposition of the Property or
any part thereof, (ii) any latent or other defects in any Property whether or
not discoverable by an Indemnified Person or the Lessee; (iii) a violation of
any Legal Requirement or Requirement of Law; (iv) the Operative Agreements, or
any transaction contemplated thereby; (v) any breach by the Lessee of any of its
representations or warranties under the Operative Agreements or failure by the
Lessee to perform or observe any covenant or agreement to be performed by it
under any of the Operative Agreements; (vi) personal injury, death or property
damage relating to the Property, including Claims based on strict liability in
tort; (vii) the existence of any Lien on or with respect to the Property, the
Improvements, the Equipment, any Basic Rent or Supplemental Rent, title thereto,
or any interest therein, including any Liens which arise out of the possession,
use, occupancy, construction, repair or rebuilding of the Property or by reason
of labor or materials furnished or claimed to have been furnished to the Lessee,
the Lessor or any of their contractors or agents or by reason of the financing
of the Property or any personality or equipment purchased or leased by the
Lessee or Improvements or Modifications constructed by the Lessee, except Lessor
Liens and Liens in
31
37
favor of the Agent or the Lessor; and (viii) the Transactions contemplated
hereby or by any other Operative Agreement, in respect of the application of
Parts 4 and 5 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and any prohibited transaction
described in Section 4975(c) of the Code; but in any event excluding (A) Claims
to the extent such Claims arise solely out of events occurring after the
expiration of the Term and after the Lessee's discharge of all its obligations
under the Lease and the other Operative Agreements, (B) as to any Indemnified
Person, any Claim to the extent resulting from the willful misconduct or gross
negligence of such Indemnified Person (as opposed to gross negligence or willful
misconduct imputed to such Indemnified Person), (C) Claims arising from the acts
or omissions of Lessor or any other occupant of the Property, or the agents,
employees, contractors or invitees of either of them, occurring after Lessee's
right to possession of the Property has been terminated and Lessee has
surrendered possession of the Property, (D) any claim resulting from Lessor
Liens, and (E) any Claim arising from a breach by such Indemnified Person under
this Agreement or any other Operative Agreements or any other agreement entered
into in connection herewith or therewith. The Lessee shall be entitled to
control, and shall assume full responsibility for the defense of, any Claim;
provided, however, that any Indemnified Person named in such Claim may retain
separate counsel reasonably acceptable to the Lessee at the expense of the
Lessee in the event of and to the extent of a conflict. The Lessee and each
Indemnified Person agree to give each other prompt written notice of any Claim
hereby indemnified against but the giving of any such notice by an Indemnified
Person shall not be a condition to the Lessee's obligations under this Section
12.1, except to the extent failure to give such notice materially prejudices
Lessee's rights hereunder. After an Indemnified Person has been fully
indemnified for a Claim pursuant to this Section 12.1, and so long as no Lease
Event of Default under the Lease shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Lessee shall be subrogated to any right of such Indemnified Person with respect
to such Claim. None of the Indemnified Persons shall settle a Claim without the
consent of the Lessee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the indemnity provided
by Lessee in favor of the Owner Trustee shall survive the termination of the
Trust and the resignation and removal of the Owner Trustee but only to the
extent reasonably required for the full performance of such indemnity.
SECTION 12.2 ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNITY. Without limitation of the other
provisions of this Section 12, the Lessee hereby agrees to indemnify, hold
harmless and defend each Indemnified Person on an After Tax Basis from and
against any and all Claims (including, without limitation, third party Claims
for personal injury or real or personal property damage), losses (including, but
not limited to, to the extent the Lease Balance and all other Obligations have
not been fully paid, any loss of value of the Property, damages, liabilities,
fines, penalties, charges, and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in
connection therewith (including, but not limited to, reasonable consultants' and
attorneys' fees and expenses), including, but not limited to, all costs incurred
in connection with any investigation or monitoring of site conditions or any
clean-up, remedial removal or restoration work, arising in whole or in part, out
of:
(a) the presence on or under the Property of any Hazardous
Substances, or any Release of any Hazardous Substances on, under, from or onto
the Property;
(b) any activity, including, without limitation, construction,
carried on at the Property, and whether by the Lessee or any predecessor in
title or any employees, agents,
32
38
contractors or subcontractors of the Lessee or any predecessor in title, or any
other Persons (including such Indemnified Person), in connection with the
handling, treatment, removal, storage, decontamination, clean-up, transport or
disposal of any Hazardous Substances that at any time are located or present on
or under the Property;
(c) loss of or damage to the Property or the environment
(including, without limitation, clean-up costs, response costs, remediation and
removal costs, cost of corrective action, costs of financial assurance, fines
and penalties and natural resource damages), or death or injury to any Person,
and all expenses associated with the protection of wildlife, aquatic species,
vegetation, flora and fauna, and any mitigative action required by or under
Environmental Laws, in each case arising from activities on or conditions with
respect to the Property;
(d) any claim concerning lack of compliance with Environmental
Laws, or any act or omission causing an environmental condition that requires
remediation or would allow any Governmental Authority to record a Lien on the
land records, in each case arising from activities on or conditions with respect
to the Property;
(e) any residual contamination on or under any parcel of Land,
or affecting any natural resources, and any contamination of any property or
natural resources arising in connection with the generation, use, handling,
storage, transport or disposal of any such Hazardous Substances from any parcel
of Land, and irrespective of whether any of such activities were or will be
undertaken accordance with all Requirements of Law.
provided, however, the Lessee shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnified
Person under this Section 12.2 for (1) Claims to the extent such Claims arise
solely out of events occurring after the expiration of the Term and after the
Lessee's discharge of all its obligations under the Lease and the other
Operative Agreements or (2) as to any Indemnified Person, any Claim to the
extent resulting from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such
Indemnified Person (as opposed to gross negligence or willful misconduct imputed
to such Indemnified Person). It is expressly understood and agreed that the
indemnity provided for herein shall survive the expiration or termination of,
and shall be separate and independent from, any remedy under the Lease or any
other Operative Agreement.
SECTION 12.3 GENERAL IMPOSITIONS INDEMNITY.
(a) Indemnification. The Lessee shall pay and assume liability
for, and does hereby agree to indemnify, protect and defend the Property and all
Indemnified Persons, and hold it and them harmless against, all Impositions on
an After Tax Basis.
(b) Payments.
(i) Subject to the terms of Section 12.3(f), the Lessee
shall pay or cause to be paid all Impositions directly to the taxing
authorities where feasible and otherwise to the Indemnified Person, as
appropriate, and the Lessee shall at its own expense, upon such
Indemnified Person's reasonable request, furnish to such Indemnified
Person copies of official receipts or other satisfactory proof
evidencing such payment.
33
39
(ii) In the case of Impositions for which no contest is
conducted pursuant to Section 12.3(f) and which the Lessee pays directly
to the taxing authorities, the Lessee shall pay such Impositions before
delinquency. In the case of Impositions for which the Lessee reimburses
an Indemnified Person, the Lessee shall do so within twenty (20) days
after receipt by the Lessee of demand by such Indemnified Person
describing in reasonable detail the nature of the Imposition and the
basis for the demand (including the computation of the amount payable),
but in no event shall the Lessee be required to pay such reimbursement
prior to thirty (30) days before the latest time permitted by the
relevant taxing authority for timely payment. In the case of Impositions
for which a contest is conducted pursuant to Section 12.3(f), the Lessee
shall pay such Impositions or reimburse such Indemnified Person for such
Impositions, to the extent not previously paid or reimbursed pursuant to
subsection (a), thirty (30) days prior to the latest time permitted by
the relevant taxing authority for timely payment after conclusion of all
contests under Section 12.3(f).
(iii) Impositions imposed with respect to the Property
for a billing period during which the Lease expires or terminates
(unless a Renewal Term is to apply or the Lessee has exercised the
Purchase Option or the Maturity Date Purchase Option with respect to the
Property) shall be adjusted and prorated on a daily basis between the
Lessee and the Lessor, whether or not such Imposition is imposed before
or after such expiration or termination and each party shall pay or
reimburse the other for each party's pro rata share thereof.
(iv) At the Lessee's request, the amount of any
indemnification payment by the Lessee pursuant to subsection (a) shall
be verified and certified by an independent public accounting firm
mutually acceptable to the Lessee and the Indemnified Person. The fees
and expenses of such independent public accounting firm shall be paid by
the Lessee unless such verification shall result in an adjustment in the
Lessee's favor of 10% or more of the payment as computed by the
Indemnified Person, in which case such fee shall be paid by the
Indemnified Person.
(c) Reports and Returns. (i) The Lessee shall be responsible for
preparing and filing any real and personal property or ad valorem tax returns in
respect of the Property. In case any other report or tax return shall be
required to be made with respect to any obligations of the Lessee under or
arising out of subsection (a) and of which the Lessee has knowledge or should
have knowledge, the Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall notify the
relevant Indemnified Person of such requirement and (except if such Indemnified
Person notifies the Lessee that such Indemnified Person intends to file such
report or return) (A) to the extent required or permitted by and consistent with
Requirements of Law, make and file in its own name such return, statement or
report; and (B) in the case of any other such return, statement or report
required to be made in the name of such Indemnified Person, advise such
Indemnified Person of such fact and prepare such return, statement or report for
filing by such Indemnified Person or, where such return, statement or report
shall be required to reflect items in addition to any obligations of the Lessee
under or arising out of subsection (a), provide such Indemnified Person at the
Lessee's expense with information sufficient to permit such return, statement or
report to be properly made with respect to any obligations of the Lessee under
or arising out of subsection (a). Such
34
40
Indemnified Person shall, upon the Lessee's request and at the Lessee's expense,
provide any data maintained by such Indemnified Person (and not otherwise
available to or within the control of the Lessee) with respect to the Property
which the Lessee may reasonably require to prepare any required tax returns or
reports. Each Indemnified Person agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts
to send to the Lessee a copy of any written request or other notice that the
Indemnified Person receives with respect to any reports or returns required to
be filed with respect to the Property or the transactions contemplated by the
Operative Agreements, it being understood that no Indemnified Person shall have
any liability for failure to provide such copies.
(d) Income Inclusions. If as a result of the payment or
reimbursement by the Lessee of any expenses of any Lessor or the payment of any
Transaction Expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated
by the Operative Agreements, any Lessor or any Lender or any of their respective
Affiliates shall suffer a net increase in any federal, state or local income tax
liability, the Lessee shall indemnify such Persons (without duplication of any
indemnification required by subsection (a)) on an After Tax Basis for the amount
of such increase. The calculation of any such net increase shall take into
account any current or future tax savings realized or reasonably expected to be
realized by such person in respect thereof, as well as any interest, penalties
and additions to tax payable by such Lessor, such Lender or such Affiliate, in
respect thereof.
(e) Withholding Taxes. As between the Lessee on one hand, and
the Lessor or the Agent or any Participant on the other hand, the Lessee shall
be responsible for, and, subject to the provisions of Sections 12.3(g) and (h),
the Lessee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Lessor, the Agent and the
Participants (without duplication of any indemnification required by subsection
(a)) on an After Tax Basis against, any obligation for United States or foreign
withholding taxes imposed in respect of payments with respect to the Loans or
Investor Contributions or with respect to Rent payments under the Lease or
payments of the Termination Value or Purchase Option Price (and, if the Lessor,
the Agent or any Participant receives a demand for such payment from any taxing
authority, the Lessee shall discharge such demand on behalf of the Lessor, the
Agent or such Participant), but excluding from the foregoing any obligation of
the Lessee to indemnify with respect to withholding taxes with respect to taxes
and other impositions that are not included within the definition of
"Impositions" under the Operative Agreements.
(f) Contests of Impositions.
(i) If a written claim is made against any Indemnified
Person or if any proceeding shall be commenced against such Indemnified
Person (including a written notice of such proceeding), for any
Impositions, such Indemnified Person shall promptly (and in any event
within thirty (30) days) notify the Lessee in writing (but failure to so
timely notify shall not relieve Lessee of its obligations hereunder
except to the extent that such failure shall have materially prejudiced
the ability of Lessee to contest the claim or matter) and shall not take
action with respect to such claim or proceeding without the consent of
the Lessee for thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice by the
Lessee; provided, however, that, in the case of any such claim or
proceeding, if action shall be required by law or regulation to be taken
prior to the end of such 30-day period, such
35
41
Indemnified Person shall, in such notice to the Lessee, inform the
Lessee of such shorter period, and no action shall be taken with respect
to such claim or proceeding without the consent of the Lessee before two
days before the end of such shorter period; provided, further, that the
failure of such Indemnified Person to give the notices referred to in
this sentence shall not diminish the Lessee's obligation hereunder
except to the extent such failure precludes the Lessee from contesting
all or part of such claim.
(ii) If, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such
notice from the Indemnified Person (or such shorter period as the
Indemnified Person has notified the Lessee is required by law or
regulation for the Indemnified Person to commence such contest), the
Lessee shall request in writing that such Indemnified Person contest
such Imposition, the Indemnified Person shall, at the expense of the
Lessee, in good faith conduct and control such contest (including,
without limitation, by pursuit of appeals) relating to the validity,
applicability or amount of such Impositions (provided, however, that (A)
if such contest involves a tax other than a tax on net income and can be
pursued independently from any other proceeding involving a tax
liability of such Indemnified Person, the Indemnified Person, at the
Lessee's request, shall allow the Lessee to conduct and control such
contest and (B) in the case of any contest, the Indemnified Person may
request the Lessee to conduct and control such contest) by, in the sole
discretion of the Person conducting and controlling such contest, (1)
resisting payment thereof, (2) not paying the same except under protest,
if protest is necessary and proper or (3) if the payment be made, using
reasonable efforts to obtain a refund thereof in appropriate
administrative and judicial proceedings.
(iii) The party controlling any contest shall consult in
good faith with the non-controlling party and shall keep the
non-controlling party reasonably informed as to the conduct of such
contest; provided, that all decisions ultimately shall be made in the
sole discretion of the controlling party. The parties agree that an
Indemnified Person may at any time decline to take further action with
respect to the contest of any Imposition and may settle such contest if
such Indemnified Person shall waive its rights to any indemnity from the
Lessee that otherwise would be payable in respect of such claim and
shall pay to the Lessee any amount previously paid or advanced by the
Lessee pursuant to this Section 12.3 by way of indemnification or
advance for the payment of an Imposition other than expenses of such
contest.
(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 12.3, an Indemnified Person shall not be required to take any
action and the Lessee shall not be permitted to contest any Impositions
in its own name or that of the Indemnified Person unless (A) the Lessee
shall have agreed to pay in writing and shall pay to such Indemnified
Person on demand and on an After Tax Basis all reasonable costs, losses
and expenses that such Indemnified Person actually incurs in connection
with contesting such Impositions, including, without limitation, all
reasonable legal, accounting and investigatory fees and disbursements
and the contested claim if ultimately required to be paid, (B) in the
case of a claim that must be pursued in the name of an Indemnified
Person (or an Affiliate thereof), the amount of the potential indemnity
exceeds $50,000, (C) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably
determined that the action to be taken
36
42
will not result in any material danger of sale, forfeiture or loss of
the Property or the Defeasance Deposit Collateral, or any part thereof
or interest therein, will not interfere with the payment of Rent, and
will not result in risk of criminal liability, (D) if such contest shall
involve the payment of the Imposition prior to the contest, the Lessee
shall provide to the Indemnified Person an interest-free advance in an
amount equal to the Imposition that the Indemnified Person is required
to pay (with no additional net after-tax cost to such Indemnified
Person), (E) the Lessee shall have provided to such Indemnified Person
an opinion of independent tax counsel selected by the Lessee and
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person stating that a
reasonable basis exists to contest such claim (or, in the case of an
appeal of an adverse determination, an opinion of such counsel to the
effect that the position asserted in such appeal will more likely than
not prevail) and (F) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing. In no event shall an Indemnified Person be required to
appeal an adverse judicial determination to the United States Supreme
Court. In addition, an Indemnified Person shall not be required to
contest any claim in its name (or that of an Affiliate) if the subject
matter thereof shall be of a continuing nature and shall have previously
been decided adversely by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to
the contest provisions of this Section 12.3, unless there shall have
been a change in law (or interpretation thereof) and the Indemnified
Person shall have received, at the Lessee's expense, an opinion of
independent tax counsel selected by the Indemnified Person and
reasonably acceptable to the Lessee stating that as a result of such
change in law (or interpretation thereof), it is more likely than not
that the Indemnified Person will prevail in such contest.
(g) Documentation of Withholding Status. Each Participant (or
any successor thereto or Transferee thereof) that is organized under the laws of
a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America shall:
(i) on or before the date it becomes a party to any
Operative Agreement, deliver to the Lessee any certificates, documents,
or other evidence that shall be required by the Code or Treasury
Regulations issued pursuant thereto to establish its exemption from
United States Federal withholding requirements, including (A) two valid,
duly completed, original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN
or W-8ECI or successor applicable form properly and duly executed,
certifying in each case that such party is entitled under Section 1442
of the Code or any other applicable provisions thereof or under any
applicable tax treaty or convention to receive payments pursuant to the
Operative Agreements without deduction or withholding of any United
States federal income taxes and is a foreign person thereby entitled to
an exemption from United States backup withholding taxes, and any such
additional form (or any successor form or forms required) upon the
expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form; and
(ii) comply from time to time with all applicable United
States laws and regulations with regard to such withholding tax
exemption.
(h) Limitation on Tax Indemnification. The Lessee shall not be
required to indemnify any Indemnified Person, or to pay any increased amounts to
any Indemnified Person or tax authority with respect to any Impositions pursuant
to this Section 12.3 to the extent that
37
43
(i) any obligation to withhold, deduct, or pay amounts with respect to Tax
existed on, or arose in connection with any event occurring prior to, the date
such Indemnified Person became a party to any Operative Agreement (and, in such
case, the Lessee may deduct and withhold such Tax from payments pursuant to the
Operative Agreements), or (ii) such Indemnified Person fails to comply with the
provisions of Section 12.3(g) (and, in such case, the Lessee may deduct and
withhold all Taxes required by law as a result of such noncompliance from
payments made by the Lessee pursuant to the Operative Agreements). With respect
to any transferee of any Participant (including a transfer resulting from any
change in the designation of the lending office of a Participant), the
transferee shall not be entitled to any greater payment or indemnification under
this Section 12.3 than the transferor would have been entitled to.
(i) Owner Trustee and Co-Owner Trustee. Notwithstanding any
provision of Section 12.3 to the contrary, the Owner Trustee and the Co-Owner
Trustee shall be indemnified by the Lessee at all times for any and all
Impositions other than Impositions on the fees and compensation of the Owner
Trustee or the Co-Owner Trustee in such capacity under the Trust Agreement.
SECTION 12.4 EURODOLLAR RATE LENDING UNLAWFUL. Notwithstanding any other
provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or
in the interpretation or application thereof occurring after the Closing Date
shall make it unlawful for any Participant to make, continue or maintain
Eurodollar Loans or Eurodollar Investor Contributions as contemplated by the
Operative Agreements, (i) such Participant shall promptly give written notice of
such circumstances to the Lessee, the Lessor and the Agent (which notice shall
be withdrawn whenever such circumstances no longer exist), (ii) the commitment
of such Lender or Investor, as the case may be, hereunder to make, continue or
maintain Eurodollar Loans or Eurodollar Investor Contributions shall forthwith
be canceled and, until such time as it shall no longer be unlawful for such
Participant to make, continue or maintain Eurodollar Loans or Eurodollar
Investor Contributions, such Participant shall then have a commitment only to
make or maintain ABR Loans or ABR Investor Contributions when a Eurodollar Loan
or Eurodollar Investor Contribution is requested and (c) such Participant's
Loans and Investor Contributions then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans or
Eurodollar Investor Contributions, if any, shall be converted automatically to
ABR Loans or ABR Investor Contributions on the respective last days of the then
current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans and Investor Contributions
or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of
Eurodollar Loans or Eurodollar Investor Contributions occurs on a day which is
not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the
Lessee shall pay to such Participant such amounts, if any, as may be required
pursuant to Section 12.7. In any such case, interest and principal (if any)
shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Eurodollar Loans or
Eurodollar Investor Contributions of the other Participants.
SECTION 12.5 DEPOSITS UNAVAILABLE. If any of the Participants shall have
determined that:
(i) Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the
relevant Interest Period are not available to the Participant in its
relevant market; or
38
44
(ii) by reason of circumstances affecting the
Participant's relevant market, adequate means do not exist for
ascertaining the interest rate or Yield, as the case may be, applicable
to such Participant's Eurodollar Loans or Eurodollar Investor
Contributions;
then, upon notice from such Participant to the Lessee, the Lessor, the Agent and
the other Participants, (x) the obligations of the Participants to make or
continue any Loans or Investor Contributions as, or to convert any Loans or
Investor Contributions into, Eurodollar Loans or Eurodollar Investor
Contributions shall be suspended, and (y) each outstanding Eurodollar Loan or
Eurodollar Investor Contribution shall automatically convert into an ABR Loan or
ABR Investor Contribution on the last day of the current Interest Period
applicable thereto.
SECTION 12.6 INCREASED COSTS, ETC.
(a) If the adoption of or any change in a Requirement of Law or
in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority
charged with administration thereof applicable to any Participant, or compliance
by any Participant with any request or directive (whether or not having the
force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, in each
case made subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if later, the date on which such
Participant becomes a Participant):
(i) shall subject such Participant to any tax of any
kind whatsoever with respect to any Eurodollar Loans or Eurodollar
Investor Contributions made, continued or maintained by it or its
obligation to make, continue or maintain Eurodollar Loans or Eurodollar
Investor Contributions, or change the basis of taxation of payments to
such Participant in respect thereof; or
(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any
reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against
assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of,
Loans and Investor Contributions, loans or other extensions of credit
by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Participant
which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Adjusted
Eurodollar Rate hereunder; or
(iii) shall impose on such Participant any other
condition (excluding any Tax of any kind) whatsoever in connection with
the Operative Agreements, but excluding therefrom (A) any Impositions
imposed on the income or receipts of any of the Participants or (B) any
tax, assessment or other charge that would not have been imposed but for
the failure of such Participant to comply with a Legal Requirement;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such
Participant, by an amount which such Participant reasonably deems to be
material, of making, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or Eurodollar
Investor Contributions or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect
thereof, then, in any such case, upon notice to the Lessee and the Lessor from
such Participant, through the Agent and/or the Lessor, in accordance herewith,
the Lessee shall pay such Participant any additional amounts necessary to
compensate such Participant on an After Tax Basis for such increased cost or
reduced amount receivable; provided, that, in any
39
45
such case, the Lessee may elect to convert the Eurodollar Loans or Eurodollar
Investor Contributions made by such Participant hereunder to ABR Loans or ABR
Investor Contributions by giving the Agent at least one Business Day's notice of
such election, in which case the Lessee shall promptly pay to such Participant,
upon demand, without duplication, such amounts, if any, as may be required
pursuant to Section 12.7. All payments required by this Section 12.6(a) shall be
made by the Lessee within 10 Business Days after demand by the affected
Participant. The Lessee shall not be obligated to reimburse any Participant for
any increased cost or reduced return incurred more than 120 days after the date
that such Participant receives actual notice of such increased cost or reduced
return unless such Participant gives notice thereof to the Lessor and the Lessee
in accordance with this Section 12.6 during such 120 day period. If any
Participant becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this
subsection, it shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Lessee, through the
Agent and/or the Lessor, certifying (x) that one of the events described in this
clause (a) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such
event, (y) as to the increased cost or reduced amount resulting from such event
and (z) as to the additional amount demanded by such Participant and a
reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof (including the method
by which such Participant allocated such amounts to the applicable Lessee or
lessees). Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to
this clause submitted by such Participant, through the Agent and/or the Lessor,
to the Lessee shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This
covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the
Loans and Investor Contributions and all other amounts payable hereunder.
(b) Each Participant shall use its reasonable efforts to reduce
or eliminate any claim for compensation pursuant to this Section 12.6,
including, without limitation, a change in the office of such Participant at
which its obligations related to this Participation Agreement are maintained if
such change will avoid the need for or reduce the amount of, such compensation
and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Participant, be otherwise
disadvantageous to it. If any such claim for compensation shall not be
eliminated or waived, the Lessee shall have the right to replace the affected
Participant with a new financial institution that shall succeed to the rights of
such Participant under this Participation Agreement; provided, that such
Participant shall not be replaced hereunder until it has been paid in full such
claim and all other amounts owed to it hereunder.
SECTION 12.7 FUNDING LOSSES. The Lessee agrees to indemnify each
Indemnified Person and to hold each Indemnified Person harmless on an After Tax
Basis from any loss or expense which such Indemnified Person may sustain or
incur (other than through such Person's own gross negligence or willful
misconduct) as a consequence of (a) default by the Lessee in making a borrowing
of or continuation of Loans or Investor Contributions which are Eurodollar Loans
or Eurodollar Investor Contributions after Lessee has given a notice requesting
the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the
Lessee in making any prepayment of a Loan or Investor Contribution which is a
Eurodollar Loan/Investor Contribution after the Lessee has given a notice
thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, or (c) the making
of a prepayment of Loans or Investor Contributions which are Eurodollar Loans or
Eurodollar Investor Contributions on a day which is not the last day of an
Interest Period with respect thereto. This covenant shall survive the
termination of this Participation
40
46
Agreement or any other Operative Agreement and the payment of the Loans,
Investor Contributions and all other amounts payable under the Operative
Agreements.
SECTION 12.8 CAPITAL ADEQUACY.
(a) If the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation
regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central
bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or compliance by any Participant with any request or directive
regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
authority, central bank or comparable agency, in each case made subsequent to
the Closing Date, has or will have the effect of reducing the rate of return on
any Participant's or its parent company's capital by an amount such Participant
reasonably deems to be material, as a consequence of its commitments or
obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Participant or its parent
company could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or
compliance (taking into consideration such Participant's or its parent company's
policies with respect to capital adequacy), then, upon notice from such
Participant, the Lessee shall pay to such Participant such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Participant and its parent company on an After
Tax Basis for such reduction (it being understood that such parent company shall
not be reimbursed to the extent its subsidiary Participant is reimbursed by the
Lessee in connection with the same or a similar law, rule, regulation, change,
request or directive applicable to such Participant). All payments required by
this Section 12.8 shall be made by the Lessee within 10 Business Days after
demand by the affected Participant. The Lessee shall not be obligated to
reimburse any Participant for any reduced return incurred more than 120 days
after the date that such Participant receives actual notice of such reduced
return unless such Participant gives notice thereof to the Lessee in accordance
with this Section 12.8 during such 120 day period. If any Participant becomes
entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall
provide prompt notice thereof to the Lessee, through the Agent and/or the
Lessor, certifying (x) that one of the events described in this clause (a) has
occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to
the increased cost or reduced amount resulting from such event and (z) as to the
additional amount demanded by such Participant and a reasonably detailed
explanation of the calculation thereof. Such a certificate as to any additional
amounts payable pursuant to this clause submitted by such Participant, through
the Agent and/or the Lessor, to the Lessee shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this
Participation Agreement and the other Operative Agreements and the payment of
the Loans, Investor Contributions and all other amounts payable hereunder and
thereunder.
(b) Each Participant shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to reduce or eliminate any claim for compensation pursuant to this
Section 12.8, including, without limitation, a change in the office of such
Participant at which its obligations related to the Operative Agreements are
maintained if such change will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such
compensation and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Participant, be
otherwise disadvantageous to it. If any such claim for compensation shall not be
eliminated or waived, the Lessee shall have the right to replace the affected
Participant with a new financial institution that shall succeed to the rights of
such Participant under the Operative Agreements; provided,
41
47
however, that such Participant shall not be replaced hereunder until it has been
paid in full such claim and all other amounts owed to it hereunder.
SECTION 12.9 SPECIAL TAX INDEMNITY.
(a) Lessee shall pay and assume all liability for and does
hereby agree to indemnify each Indemnified Person and, in each case, their
accountants, lawyers, and other advisors (each, a "Tax Registration Indemnitee")
on an After Tax Basis for any tax, addition to tax, penalty or other cost as a
result of a breach, inaccuracy or incorrectness of the representation found in
Section 7.3(ff); provided, however, that this indemnity shall not apply to any
tax, additional tax, penalty or other cost arising from (i) the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of such Tax Registration Indemnitee; (ii) the inaccuracy
or incompleteness of any information provided by such Tax Registration
Indemnitee to Lessee to the extent such information is included in the
registration form or other related materials and to the extent such failure
results in the imposition of increased taxes, additions to tax, penalties or
other costs; or (iii) the activities of such Tax Registration Indemnitee
unrelated to the transactions contemplated herein that result in the
transactions contemplated herein being deemed to be a confidential corporate tax
shelter if the transactions contemplated herein would not otherwise have been
deemed to be a confidential corporate tax shelter.
(b) If a written claim is made or any proceeding is commenced by
the Internal Revenue Service against any Tax Registration Indemnitee for any
amount as to which Lessee has an indemnity obligation pursuant to this Section
12.9, such Tax Registration Indemnitee agrees to notify the Lessee promptly in
writing of such proposed claim or proceeding, but the failure to provide such
notice shall not release Lessee from its indemnity obligation hereunder except
to the extent that it is materially adversely affected thereby. Lessee shall be
entitled, at its expense, to require that any amount for which it may be
obligated to indemnify a Tax Registration Indemnitee pursuant to this Section
12.9 be contested and to withhold payment during pendency of such contest (if
such forbearance is permitted by law), provided that Lessee will pay any cost,
expense, interest or penalty associated with such forbearance. A Tax
Registration Indemnitee shall have control over any contest commenced pursuant
to this Section 12.9(b) but Lessee shall have, upon request, the right to
participate (including its counsel) in all proceedings and such Tax Registration
Indemnitee shall keep Lessee informed as to all material developments in such
contest and afford Lessee an opportunity to discuss with such Tax Registration
Indemnitee Lessee's interests with respect to such contest.
(c) Lessee and each Tax Registration Indemnitee agree to
cooperate with each other with respect to maintaining any required documentation
or other information in connection with the tax shelter registration provisions
of Code Section 6111, the investor list provisions of Code Section 6112 and the
disclosure statement provisions of Code Section 6011 (and any of the regulations
thereunder).
SECTION 12.10 INDEMNITY PAYMENTS IN ADDITION TO LEASE OBLIGATIONS. The
Lessee acknowledges and agrees that the Lessee's obligations to make indemnity
payments under this Section 12 are separate from, in addition to, and do not
reduce the Lessee's obligations under the Lease, but such obligations to
indemnify shall not be deemed to be a guaranty by the Lessee of
42
48
repayment of the Investor Contributions or the Loans, except as provided in the
Operative Agreements.

notice to the retiring Owner Trustee, the Agent and the Lessee. In the event of
any such resignation or removal, the Required Investors shall as promptly as
practicable (but with five (5) Business Days' prior written notice being given
to the Lessee) appoint a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to this Section 14.1
and Section 9.1 of
47
53
the Trust Agreement, provided that such successor Owner Trustee shall be
approved by the Agent and, unless a Lease Event of Default is continuing, be
approved by the Lessee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) and, if the Lessee has not responded within such five (5) Business Day
period, the Lessee shall be deemed to have approved such new Owner Trustee. If

become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring
Owner Trustee, and the retiring Owner Trustee shall be discharged from all
further duties and obligations as Owner Trustee under this Participation
Agreement and under the other Operative Agreements. After any retiring Owner
Trustee's resignation or removal hereunder as Owner Trustee, the provisions of
this Participation Agreement and of the other Operative Agreements shall
continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken
by it while it was the Owner Trustee under this Participation Agreement and the
Trust Agreement. No resignation or renewal of the Owner Trustee may become
effective until a successor Owner Trustee has been appointed as provided above.

then in effect under the Lease be extended to the date occurring two years after
such Expiration Date and concurrently therewith request that the Agent and the
Lessor direct a written request to the Investors and the Lenders that the
applicable Maturity Date be extended to the same date (such additional two
years, a "Renewal Term"). Each Participant may grant or deny its consent to a
Renewal Term in its sole discretion by notifying the Agent and the Lessor in
writing (with copy to the Lessee); provided, however, any Participant that fails
to respond to such request for a Renewal Term within sixty (60) days after its
receipt thereof shall be deemed to have denied such request for a Renewal Term.
(b) In connection with a written request of the Lessee for a
Renewal Term, upon the request of the Lessee, the Agent and the Investor shall

institution (a
48
54
"Replacement Participant") satisfactory to the Lessee, the Investors and the
Lenders, with such replacement to be effective as of the Expiration Date and
Maturity Date in effect prior to the requested Renewal Term; provided, however,

the Replacement Participant shall purchase from the Non-Consenting Participant
(A) at par, all Loans, in the case of a Lender, and all Investor Contributions,
in the case of a Investor, (B) all accrued interest, in the case of a Lender,
and all accrued Yield, in the case of a Investor, and (C) all other amounts
owing to such Non-Consenting Participant on or prior to the date of replacement,
in each case, (iii) the Lessee shall be liable to such Non-Consenting
Participant under Section 12.6 if any Loan or Investor Contribution, as the case
may be, owing to such Non-Consenting Participant shall be prepaid (or purchased)
other than on the last day of the Interest Period or Interest Periods relating
thereto, (iv) such replacement shall be made in accordance with the provisions
of Section 11 (provided that the Lessee or the relevant Replacement Participant
shall be obligated to pay the Transaction Expenses arising in connection
therewith), and (v) the Replacement Participant shall have agreed to be subject
to all of the terms and conditions of the applicable Operative Agreements
(including the extension of the Maturity Date contemplated by the relevant
request for a Renewal Term and the related extension). The Agent and the
Investor hereby agree to cooperate with the Lessee in its efforts to arrange one
or more Replacement Participants as contemplated by this Section 15.1(b).
(c) Any Renewal Term and extension of the Maturity Date and the
Expiration Date as contemplated by Section 15.1(a) shall be effective only upon
the consent of all Participants after giving effect to the provisions of Section
