which the Lessee or any Affiliate thereof owns any interest in or otherwise
occupies or possesses the Leased Property or any portion thereof; PROVIDED,

SECTION 7.3 PROCEEDINGS IN RESPECT OF CLAIMS. The obligations and liabilities of
the Lessee with respect to any Claims for which, if valid, Lessee is obligated
to provide indemnification pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.1 and Section
7.2 ("Indemnified Claims"), shall be subject to the following terms and
conditions:
(a) Whenever an Indemnitee shall have received notice that an Indemnified Claim
has been asserted or threatened against such Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall
promptly notify the Lessee of such Claim, together with supporting facts and
data within the possession or knowledge of the Indemnitee related thereto,
provided that the failure to deliver such notice shall not relieve the Lessee of
its indemnification obligations hereunder except to the extent that such failure
prejudices the Lessee. With respect to any amount that the Lessee is requested
by an Indemnitee to pay by reason of Section 7.1 or 7.2, such Indemnitee shall,
if so requested by the Lessee and prior to any payment, submit such additional
information to the Lessee as the Lessee may reasonably request and which is in
the possession of such Indemnitee to substantiate properly the requested
payment.
(b) Lessee shall defend, at its expense, such Indemnified Claim with counsel of
its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indemnitee shall have
the right, upon notice to and at the expense of Lessee, to undertake the defense
of such Claim during the continuance of such Event of Default. The Indemnitee
shall promptly notify the Lessee of any compromise or settlement proposal with
respect to any such Claim and shall not unreasonably refuse to accept any such
proposal if the same is acceptable to the Lessee. The Indemnitee may participate
in a reasonable manner at its own expense and with its own counsel in any
proceeding conducted by the Lessee in accordance with the foregoing. The Lessee
shall not enter into any settlement or other compromise with respect to any
Claim which is entitled to be indemnified under Section 7.1 or 7.2 without the
prior written consent of the Lender acting individually and on behalf of the
affected Indemnitee (and Lessor hereby irrevocably so authorizes Lender to grant
such consent on behalf of Lessor and the Lessor Indemnitees), which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Lessee and each Indemnitee are and shall
be bound to cooperate with each other in good faith in connection with the
defense of any such action, suit or proceeding in providing any information and
bear witness or give testimony which may be requested by counsel for any of such
parties.
(c) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no
Indemnitee shall enter into any settlement or other compromise with respect to
any Claim which is entitled to be
24
indemnified under Section 7.1 or 7.2 without the prior written consent of the
Lessee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (it being agreed that
it will not be unreasonable for the Lessee to withhold consent if such
compromise or settlement adversely affects a material right or property interest
of the Lessee, including, without limitation, Lessee's use, title or possession
of the Leased Property), unless such Indemnitee waives its right to be
indemnified under Section 7.1 or 7.2 with respect to such Claim, PROVIDED that
no Indemnitee shall enter into any settlement which would adversely affect
Lessee's use, title to or possession of the Leased Property without Lessee's
prior written consent.
(d) Upon payment in full of any Claim by the Lessee pursuant to Section 7.1 or
7.2 to or on behalf of an Indemnitee, the Lessee, without any further action,
shall be subrogated to any and all claims that such Indemnitee may have relating
thereto (other than claims in respect of insurance policies maintained by such
Indemnitee at its own expense) including claims (subject to the provisions of
this Section 7 and Section 18.12 of the Lease) against another Indemnitee and
such Indemnitee shall execute such instruments of assignment and conveyance,
evidence of claims and payment and such other documents, instruments and
agreements as may be necessary to preserve any such Claims and otherwise
cooperate with the Lessee and give such further assurances as are necessary or
advisable to enable the Lessee vigorously to pursue such Claims.
(e) Any amount payable to an Indemnitee pursuant to Section 7.1 or 7.2 shall be
paid to such Indemnitee promptly upon receipt of a written demand therefor from
such Indemnitee, accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable
detail the basis for such indemnity and the computation of the amount so
payable, and if requested by the Lessee, such determination shall be verified by
a nationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to the
Lessee and the Indemnitee at the expense of the Lessee.
(f) If Lessee fails to assume the defense of an Indemnified Claim within a
reasonable time (and in any event not more than 30 days) after receipt of notice
thereof from the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee will (upon delivering notice to such
effect to the Lessee) have the right to undertake, at the Lessee's cost and
expense, the defense, compromise or settlement of such Claim on behalf of and
for the account and risk of the Lessee, subject to the right of the Lessee
(PROVIDED no Event of Default shall have occurred and remained outstanding) to
assume the defense of such Claim at any time prior to the settlement, compromise
or final determination thereof, and PROVIDED HOWEVER, that the Indemnitee shall
not enter into any such compromise or settlement without the written consent of
the Lessee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, as aforesaid, and PROVIDED
FURTHER that no Indemnitee shall enter into any such settlement which would
adversely affect Lessee's use, title to or possession of the Leased Property
without Lessee's prior written consent. In the event the Indemnitee assumes the
defense of any such Claim, the Indemnitee will cooperate with the Lessee in
keeping the Lessee reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense,
compromise or settlement.
(g) Nothing contained in this SECTION 7.3 shall be deemed to expand the
obligation of the Lessee to defend or be responsible for indemnification of the
Indemnitees with respect to any Claim beyond the specific indemnification
obligations set forth in Sections 7.1, 7.2, 7.4, or elsewhere in the Operative
Documents.

SECTION 7.4 General Tax Indemnity.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section, the Lessee shall pay on an
After-Tax Basis, and on written demand shall indemnify and hold each Tax
Indemnitee harmless from and against, any and all fees (including, without
limitation, documentation, recording, license and registration fees), taxes
(including, without limitation, income, gross receipts, sales, rental, use,
turnover, value-added, property, excise and stamp taxes), levies, imposts,
duties, charges, assessments or withholdings of any nature whatsoever, together
with any penalties, fines or interest thereon or additions thereto (any of the
foregoing being referred to herein as "Taxes" and individually as a "Tax" (for
the purposes of this Section, the definition of "Taxes" excludes amounts imposed
on, incurred by, or asserted against each Tax Indemnitee as the result of any
prohibited transaction, within the meaning of Section 406 or 407 of ERISA or
Section 4975(c) of the Code, arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby
or by any other Operative Document)) imposed on or with respect to any Tax
Indemnitee, the Lessee, the Leased Property or any portion thereof or the Land,
or any sublessee or user thereof, by the United States or by any state or local
government or other taxing authority in the United States in connection with or
in any way relating to (i) the acquisition, financing, mortgaging, construction,
preparation, installation, inspection, delivery, non-delivery, acceptance,
rejection, purchase, ownership, possession, rental, lease, sublease,
maintenance, repair, storage, transfer of title, redelivery, use, operation,
condition, sale, return or other application or disposition of all or any part
of the Leased Property or the imposition of any Lien, other than a Lessor Lien
(or incurrence of any liability to refund or pay over any amount as a result of
any Lien, other than a Lessor Lien) thereon, (ii) Basic Rent or Supplemental
Rent or the receipts or earnings arising from or received with respect to the
Leased Property or any part thereof, or any interest therein or any applications
or dispositions thereof, (iii) the Leased Property, the Land or any part thereof
or any interest therein, (iv) all or any of the Operative Documents, any other
documents contemplated thereby and any amendments and supplements thereto and
(v) otherwise with respect to or in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Operative Documents.
(b) Section 7.4(a) shall not apply to:
(i) Taxes on, based on, or measured by or with respect to, net income of the
Lessor and the Lender (including, without limitation, minimum Taxes, capital
gains Taxes, Taxes on or measured by items of tax preference or alternative
minimum Taxes) other than (A) any such Taxes that are, or are in the nature of,
sales, use, license, rental or property Taxes, (B) withholding Taxes imposed by
the United States or any state (1) on payments with respect to the Note, to the
extent imposed by reason of a change in Applicable Law occurring after the
Closing Date or (2) on Rent, to the extent the net payment of Rent after
deduction of such withholding Taxes would be less than amounts currently payable
with respect to the Note and (C) any increase in any franchise taxes based on or
otherwise measured by net income, estate, inheritance, transfer, income tax or
gross income or gross receipts tax in lieu of net income over the term of the
Lease, net of any decrease in such taxes realized by such Tax Indemnitee, to the
extent that such tax increase or decrease would not have occurred if on the
Closing Date the Lessor had advanced funds to the Lessee in the form of a loan
secured by the Leased Property in an amount equal to the Loan, with debt service
for such loan equal to the portion of the Basic Rent attributable to the Loan
payable
26
on each Rent Payment Date and a principal balance at the maturity of such loan
in an amount equal to the Loan at the end of the Lease Term;
(ii) Taxes on, based on, or in the nature of or measured by, Taxes on doing
business, business privilege, capital, capital stock, net worth, or mercantile
license or similar taxes other than (A) any increase in such Taxes imposed on
such Tax Indemnitee by any state, net of any decrease in such taxes realized by
such Tax Indemnitee, to the extent that such tax increase or decrease would not
have occurred if on the Closing Date the Lessor had advanced funds to the Lessee
in the form of a loan secured by the Leased Property in an amount equal to the
Loan, with debt service for such loan equal to the portion of the Basic Rent
attributable to the Loan payable on each Rent Payment Date and a principal
balance at the maturity of such loan in an amount equal to the Loan at the end
of the Lease Term or (B) any Taxes that are or are in the nature of sales, use,
rental, license or property Taxes;
(iii) Taxes that result from any act, event or omission, or are attributable to
any period of time, that occurs after the earliest of (A) the expiration of the
Lease Term with respect to the Leased Property and, if the Leased Property is
required to be returned to the Lessor in accordance with the Lease, such return
and (B) the discharge in full of the Lessee's obligations to pay the Lease
Balance, or any amount determined by reference thereto, with respect to the
Leased Property and all other amounts due under the Lease, unless such Taxes
relate to acts, events or matters occurring prior to the earliest of such times
or are imposed on or with respect to any payments due under the Operative
Documents after such expiration or discharge;
(iv) Taxes imposed on a Tax Indemnitee that result from any voluntary sale,
assignment, transfer or other disposition by such Tax Indemnitee or any related
Tax Indemnitee of any interest in the Leased Property or any part thereof, or
any interest therein or any interest or obligation arising under the Operative
Documents (including a sale of an interest in the Note) or from any sale,
assignment, transfer or other disposition of any interest in such Tax Indemnitee
or any related Tax Indemnitee, it being understood that each of the following
shall not be considered a voluntary sale: (A) any substitution, replacement or
removal of any of the property by the Lessee shall not be treated as a voluntary
action of any Tax Indemnitee, (B) any sale or transfer resulting from the
exercise by the Lessee of any termination option, any purchase option or sale
option, (C) any sale or transfer while an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing under the Lease and (D) any sale or transfer resulting from
the Lessor's exercise of remedies under the Lease;
(v) any Tax which is being contested in accordance with the provisions of
Section 7.4(c), during the pendency of such contest;
(vi) any Tax that is imposed on a Tax Indemnitee as a result of such Tax
Indemnitee's gross negligence or willful misconduct (other than gross negligence
on the part of the Lessor and the incorporators, stockholders, directors,
officers, employees and agents of the Lessor or gross negligence or willful
misconduct imputed to the Lessor or the Lender solely by reason of their
respective interests in the Leased Property);
(vii) any Tax that results from a Tax Indemnitee engaging, with respect to the
Leased Property, in transactions other than those permitted by the Operative
Documents; or
27
(viii) to the extent any interest, penalties or additions to tax result in whole
or in part from the failure of a Tax Indemnitee to file a return that it is
required to file in a proper and timely manner, unless such failure (A) results
from the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents in circumstances
where the Lessee did not give timely notice to Lessor (and the Lessor otherwise
had no actual knowledge) of such filing requirement that would have permitted a
proper and timely filing of such return or (B) results from the failure of the
Lessee to supply information necessary for the proper and timely filing of such
return that was not in the possession of the Lessor.
(c) If any claim shall be made against any Tax Indemnitee or if any proceeding
shall be commenced against any Tax Indemnitee (including a written notice of
such proceeding) for any Taxes as to which the Lessee may have an indemnity
obligation pursuant to this Section, or if any Tax Indemnitee shall determine
that any Taxes as to which the Lessee may have an indemnity obligation pursuant
to this Section may be payable, such Tax Indemnitee shall promptly notify the
Lessee. The Lessee shall be entitled, at its expense, to participate in and to
the extent that the Lessee desires to, assume and control the defense thereof;
provided, however, that the Lessee shall not be entitled to assume and control
the defense of any such action, suit or proceeding (but the Tax Indemnitee shall
then contest, at the sole cost and expense of the Lessee, on behalf of the
Lessee) if and to the extent that (A) an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, (B) such action, suit or proceeding involves matters which are
unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents and if
determined adversely could be materially detrimental to the interests of such
Tax Indemnitee notwithstanding indemnification by the Lessee or (C) such action,
suit or proceeding involves the federal or any state income tax liability of the
Tax Indemnitee. With respect to any contests controlled by a Tax Indemnitee, (i)
if such contest relates to the federal or any state income tax liability of such
Tax Indemnitee, such Tax Indemnitee shall be required to conduct such contest
only if the Lessee shall have provided to such Tax Indemnitee an opinion of
independent tax counsel selected by the Lessee and reasonably satisfactory to
the Tax Indemnitee stating that a reasonable basis exists to contest such claim
or (ii) in the case of an appeal of an adverse determination of any contest
relating to any Taxes, an opinion of such counsel to the effect that such appeal
is more likely than not to be successful; provided, however, such Tax Indemnitee
shall in no event be required to appeal an adverse determination to the United
States Supreme Court. The Tax Indemnitee may participate in a reasonable manner
at its own expense and with its own counsel in any proceeding conducted by the
Lessee in accordance with the foregoing. Each Tax Indemnitee shall at the
Lessee's expense supply the Lessee with such information and documents
reasonably requested by the Lessee as are necessary or advisable for the Lessee
to participate in any action, suit or proceeding to the extent permitted by this
Section. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no
Tax Indemnitee shall enter into any settlement or other compromise with respect
to any Claim which is entitled to be indemnified under this Section without the
prior written consent of the Lessee, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld (it being agreed that it will not be unreasonable for Lessee to
withhold consent if such compromise or settlement would adversely affect
material rights or property interests of the Lessee, including, without
limitation, Lessee's use, title or possession of the Leased Property), unless
such Tax Indemnitee waives its right to be indemnified under this Section with
respect to such Claim, provided the settlement would not adversely affect
materials rights or property interests of the Lessee, including, without
limitation,
28
Lessee's use, title or possession of the Leased Property. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, (i) a Tax Indemnitee will not be
required to contest (and the Lessee shall not be permitted to contest) a Claim
with respect to the imposition of any Tax if such Tax Indemnitee shall waive its
right to indemnification under this Section with respect to such Claim (and any
related Claim with respect to other taxable years the contest of which is
precluded as a result of such waiver) and (ii) no Tax Indemnitee shall be
required to contest any Claim if the subject matter thereof shall be of a
continuing nature and shall have previously been decided adversely, unless there
has been a change in law which in the opinion of the Lessee's counsel creates
substantial authority for the success of such contest. Each Tax Indemnitee and
the Lessee shall consult in good faith with each other regarding the conduct of
such contest controlled by either.
(d) If (i) a Tax Indemnitee shall obtain a credit or refund of any Taxes paid by
the Lessee pursuant to this Section or (ii) by reason of the incurrence or
imposition of any Tax for which a Tax Indemnitee is indemnified hereunder or any
payment made to or for the account of such Tax Indemnitee by the Lessee pursuant
to this Section, such Tax Indemnitee at any time realizes a reduction in any
Taxes for which the Lessee is not required to indemnify such Tax Indemnitee
pursuant to this Section, which reduction in Taxes was not taken into account in
computing such payment by the Lessee to or for the account of such Tax
Indemnitee, then such Tax Indemnitee shall promptly pay to the Lessee the amount
of such credit or refund, together with the amount of any interest received by
such Tax Indemnitee on account of such credit or refund or an amount equal to
such reduction in Taxes, as the case may be; provided, however, that no such
payment shall be made so long as an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing; and provided, further, that the amount payable to the Lessee by any
Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this subsection shall not at any time exceed the
aggregate amount of all indemnity payments made by the Lessee under this Section
to such Tax Indemnitee and all related Tax Indemnities with respect to the Taxes
which gave rise to a credit or refund or with respect to the Tax which gave rise
to a reduction in Taxes less the amount of all prior payments made to the Lessee
by such Tax Indemnitee and related Tax Indemnities under this Section. Each Tax
Indemnitee agrees to act in good faith to claim such refunds and other available
Tax benefits, and take such other actions as may be reasonable to minimize any
payment due from the Lessee pursuant to this Section and to maximize the amount
of any Tax savings available to it. The disallowance or reduction of any credit,
refund or other tax savings with respect to which a Tax Indemnitee has made a
payment to the Lessee under this subsection shall be treated as a Tax for which
the Lessee is obligated to indenmify such Tax Indemnitee hereunder.
(e) Any Tax indemnifiable under this Section shall be paid directly when due to
the applicable taxing authority if direct payment is practicable and permitted.
If direct payment to the applicable taxing authority is not permitted or is
otherwise not made, any amount payable to a Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this
Section shall be paid within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written demand
therefor from such Tax Indemnitee accompanied by a written statement describing
in reasonable detail the amount so payable, but not before the date that the
relevant Taxes are due. Any payments made pursuant to this Section shall be made
directly to the Tax Indemnitee entitled thereto or the Lessee, as the case may
be, in immediately available funds at such bank or to such account as specified
by the payee in written directions to the payor, or, if no such direction shall
29
have been given, by check of the payor payable to the order of the payee by
certified mail, postage prepaid at its Address as set forth in this
Participation Agreement. Upon the request of any Tax Indemnitee with respect to
a Tax that the Lessee is required to pay, the Lessee shall furnish to such Tax
Indemnitee the original or a certified copy of a receipt for Lessee's payment of
such Tax or such other evidence of payment as is reasonably acceptable to such
Tax Indemnitee.
(t) If the Lessee knows of any report, return or statement required to be filed
with respect to any Taxes that are subject to indemnification under this
Section, the Lessee shall, if the Lessee is permitted by Applicable Law, timely
file such report, return or statement (and, to the extent permitted by law, show
ownership of the Leased Property in the Lessee except to the extent contrary to
financial reporting requirements); Provided, however, that if the Lessee is not
permitted by Applicable Law or does not have access to the information required
to file any such report, return or statement, the Lessee will promptly so notify
the appropriate Tax Indemnitee, in which case Tax Indemnitee will file such
report. In any case in which the Tax Indemnitee will file any such report,
return or statement, Lessee shall, upon written request of such Tax Indemnitee,
provide such Tax Indemnitee with such information as is reasonably available to
the Lessee.
(g) At the Lessee's request, the amount of any indemnity payment by the Lessee
or any payment by a Tax Indemnitee to the Lessee pursuant to this Section shall
be verified and certified by an independent public accounting firm selected by
the Lessee and reasonably acceptable to the Tax Indemnitee. Unless such
verification shall disclose an error in Lessee's favor of 5% or more, the costs
of such verification shall be borne by the Lessee. In no event shall the Lessee
have the right to review the Tax Indemnitee's tax returns or receive any other
confidential information from the Tax Indemnitee in connection with such
verification. The Tax Indemnitee agrees to cooperate with the independent public
accounting firm performing the verification and to supply such firm with all
information reasonably necessary to permit it to accomplish such verification;
provided, however, that the information provided to such firm by such Tax
Indemnitee shall be for its confidential use. The parties agree that the sole
responsibility of the independent public accounting firm shall be to verify the
amount of a payment pursuant to this Participation Agreement and that matters of
interpretation of this Participation Agreement are not within the scope of the
independent accounting firm's responsibilities.
SECTION 7.5 (Reserved]
SECTION 7.6 End of Term Indemnity. In the event that at the end of the Lease
Term (i) the Lessor elects the option set forth in Section 15.6 of the Lease and
(ii) after the Lessor receives the sales proceeds from the Leased Property under
Section 15.6 or 15.7 of the Lease together with the Lessee's payment of the
Recourse Deficiency Amount, the Lessor shall not have received the entire Lease
Balance, then the Lessor or the Lender may obtain, at the Lessee's sole cost and
expense, an appraisal report from the Appraiser (or if the Appraiser is not
available, another appraiser reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor or the
Lender, as the case may be) in form and substance satisfactory to the Lessor and
the Lender to establish the reason for any decline in value of the Leased
Property from that anticipated for such date in the appraisal delivered on the
Closing Date. The Lessee shall promptly reimburse the Lessor for the amount
equal to such decline in value to the extent that appraisal report delivered
pursuant to the preceding sentence
30
concludes that such decline was due to (i) extraordinary use, failure to
maintain, to repair, to restore, to rebuild or to replace the Leased Property in
a manner consistent with reasonable preservation of its value, failure to comply
with all Applicable Laws, failure to use, workmanship, method of installation or
removal or maintenance, repair, rebuilding or replacement, or any other cause or
condition within the reasonable power of the Lessee to control or effect
resulting in the Improvements failing to constitute an office/warehouse and/or
light manufacturing facility (excepting in each case ordinary wear and tear),
(ii) any Alteration made to, or any rebuilding of, the Leased Property or any
part thereof by the Lessee, (iii) any restoration or rebuilding carried out by
the Lessee or any condemnation of any portion of the Leased Property pursuant to
Article XI of the Lease (after taking into account any Award in respect thereof)
or (iv) any use of the Leased Property or any part thereof by the Lessee other
than as permitted pursuant to Article VIII of the Lease. The parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that the obligation imposed upon the Lessee under this
Section arises from a higher standard of maintenance of the Leased Property than
that required under Article VII of the Lease and is applicable whether or not
the Lessee has failed to comply with any such other obligations under the
Operative Documents.
SECTION 8
