19. Quiet Enjoyment; Title.

19.1 Quiet Enjoyment. The Landlord warrants to the Tenant the peaceable possession of the Site and warrants to the Tenant that the Tenant shall quietly have and enjoy the Site during the Term and the Removal Period of this Ground Lease without hindrance or molestation by the Landlord or any Person or Persons claiming by, under and/or through the Landlord. This Ground Lease shall be construed as a covenant running with the land. As long as this Ground Lease is in effect, the Landlord and any Affiliate of the Landlord shall only allow compatible use of the remainder of their property adjacent to the Site and will not create or allow the creation of a visual, olfactory or auditory nuisance on said remainder of their property.

19.2 Landlord’s Title. The Landlord covenants, represents and warrants as a condition of this Ground Lease that: (i) it is the sole owner of good title to all of the Site; (ii) the Site is subject to no Liens, privileges, encumbrances, defects in title, servitudes, easements, restrictions, dedications, leases, mineral leases, reservations or other exceptions to title; (iii) during the Term it shall not encumber the Site; (iv) it is authorized to make this Ground Lease for the Term; (v) the provisions of this Ground Lease do not and will not conflict with or violate any of the provisions of existing agreements between the Landlord and any third party; and (vi) the Landlord will deliver the Site free of all tenants and occupants and claims thereto.

20. Eminent Domain.

20.1 Complete Condemnation. If, during the Term, the whole of the Site shall be taken under the power of eminent domain (or in lieu of a taking by a person or entity authorized to exercise such power, condemnation or taking, or under threat of exercise of such power, condemnation or taking) by any public or private authority, then this Ground Lease and the term hereof shall cease and terminate as of the date of such taking; provided that the Tenant shall share in the condemnation award as provided herein. The Tenant may continue to occupy the Site, subject to the terms of this Ground Lease, for all or such part of the period between the date of such taking and the date when possession of the Site shall be taken by the taking authority, and any unearned Rent or other charges, if any, paid in advance, shall be refunded to the Tenant. If required, the Tenant shall procure from the applicable Governmental Authority, at the Tenant’s sole cost and expense, all necessary consents and authorizations to continue to occupy the Site from and after the date of such taking.

20.2 Partial Condemnation. If, during the Term, any public or private authority shall, under the power of eminent domain (or in lieu of a taking by a person or entity authorized to exercise such power, condemnation or taking, or under threat of exercise of such power, condemnation or taking), makes a taking resulting in the reduction of the surface area of the Site by fifteen percent (15%) or more, or of fifteen percent (15%) or more of the value of the Facilities, the Improvements or the Landlord’s Improvements, or resulting in material interference to the Tenant’s ability to use in a commercially reasonable manner the remainder of the Site, the Facilities, the Improvements or Landlord’s Improvements for the purposes contemplated hereby, then the Tenant may, at its election, terminate this Ground Lease by giving the Landlord notice of

the exercise of its election within one-hundred twenty (120) days of the date of notice to the Tenant of such taking. In the event of termination by the Tenant under this Section 20.2, the Term shall cease and this Ground Lease shall terminate as of the last day of the calendar month in which such notice of exercise of its election to terminate has been given, and any unearned Rent or other charges, if any, paid in advance, shall be refunded to the Tenant, and the Tenant shall share in the condemnation award as provided herein.

20.3 Rent Adjustment. In the event that the Tenant does not elect to terminate this Ground Lease pursuant to Section 20.2, then this Ground Lease and the Term shall continue in full force and effect, and the Rent shall be adjusted pro-rata in accordance with the land area of the property actually taken by the condemning authority.

20.4 Allocation of Award. Subject to Section 23.8, in the event of a complete taking pursuant to Section 20.1, the Tenant will be entitled to receive the portion of the condemnation award (or settlement) attributable to (i) the value of the Facilities, the Improvements and Landlord’s Improvements, and fixtures and other property located on the Site so taken, plus (ii) without duplication with clause (i) above, the value of the leasehold estate and leasehold advantage in the portion of the Site so taken, plus (iii) other compensation or benefits paid as a consequence of the interruption of the Tenant’s business and the other costs and expenses incurred by the Tenant as a consequence of such taking (if any such compensation or benefits are paid by the applicable taking authority) and the Landlord shall be entitled to recover that portion of the condemnation award (or settlement) fairly attributable to the value of the land taken. In the event Tenant’s Property, the Improvements or the Facilities are not taken, the Tenant shall not be entitled to any portion of the award, and in the event no Landlord’s property is taken, the Landlord shall not be entitled to any portion of the award. In the event of a partial taking of the Improvements, Tenant’s Property and/or Facilities, the entire award or settlement shall be paid to the Tenant. In the event of a partial taking of the Site, the Tenant will be entitled to receive the portion of the award attributable to (i) the value of the portion of the Facilities, Improvements and Tenant’s Property located in the portion of the Site so taken, plus (ii) without duplication with clause (i) above, the value of the leasehold estate and leasehold advantage in the portion of the Site so taken, plus (iii) damage to the remaining Facilities, and the Tenant will promptly restore the remaining portion of the Facilities to the extent of the award payable to the Tenant. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit the Tenant’s claiming relocation damages or damages for lost profits or loss of leasehold advantage against the taking authority in any appropriate proceeding.

21. Temporary Taking or Other Deprivation.

If, during the Term, (i) less than all of the Landlord’s title to all or any portion of the Site is taken for temporary use or occupancy, or (ii) any public or private authority takes any action not resulting in a taking of all or any portion of the Site but resulting in a right to compensation therefor, such as changing of the grade of any street upon which the Site abuts, then, except as otherwise provided in Section 20, the Tenant shall be entitled to make claim for, recover, and retain all awards, whether pursuant to judgment, agreement, or otherwise, recoverable in connection therewith.

22. Force Majeure.

Provided that notice is given within sixty (60) days of an occurrence of an event of Force Majeure by the Party seeking to invoke and utilize the provisions of this Section 22, either Party hereto shall be excused from performing any of its respective obligations or undertakings provided in this Ground Lease for so long as the performance of such obligations is prevented or significantly delayed, retarded or hindered by any event of Force Majeure; provided that an event of Force Majeure shall not excuse any party from making any payment of money required under this Ground Lease. Should an event of Force Majeure persist for over three hundred and sixty (360) continuous days, the Tenant shall have the right but not the obligation to terminate this Ground Lease.

23. Leasehold Mortgage Provisions.

The provisions of this Section 23 shall supersede any contrary or inconsistent provisions in this Ground Lease and in the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the provisions of this Section 23 and any other provision of this Ground Lease, the provisions of this Section 23 shall govern and control.

23.1 Tenant’s Right to Mortgage Leasehold Interest; Recognition of Leasehold Lender as Leasehold Mortgagee. The Tenant shall have the absolute right (but not the obligation), without seeking the consent or approval of the Landlord, to grant one or more leasehold mortgages encumbering the Tenant’s interest in the Site and in this Ground Lease. The term “Leasehold Lender” shall mean, at any point in time, the holder of a Leasehold Mortgage, or any agent or trustee therefor, that provides written notice to the Landlord of its status as such, which notice is confirmed in writing by the Tenant. The term “Leasehold Mortgage” shall mean, at any point in time, a leasehold mortgage to secure debt or other equivalent instruments (“Leasehold Loan”) as the case may be (as the same may be amended from time to time), encumbering the Tenant’s interest in the Site and this Ground Lease. It is acknowledged and agreed that, during the Term, there may be multiple Leasehold Mortgages and multiple Leasehold Lenders and that each Leasehold Lender may, from time to time, assign its right, title and interest in and to the Leasehold Loan, Leasehold Mortgage and this Ground Lease. During the Term, the Tenant shall provide the Landlord with written notice of the identity, contact information and address for each Leasehold Lender (or the agent authorized to act on behalf of the Leasehold Lender), such notice to be provided to the Landlord by the Tenant within no less than a calendar year within which the Tenant becomes aware of any such Leasehold Lender, whether by the issuance of a Leasehold Mortgage to such Leasehold Lender or name change, assignment, merger or otherwise.

23.2 Right to Perform for Tenant; Right to Cure.

(a) In addition to the rights provided in Section 23.1, the Landlord acknowledges and agrees that any Leasehold Lender shall have the right to perform any term, covenant, condition or agreement to be performed by the Tenant under this Ground Lease, and the Landlord shall accept such performance by Leasehold Lender with the same force and effect as if furnished by the Tenant. In the event of a default by the Tenant under this Ground Lease and prior to any termination of this Ground Lease by the Landlord, the Landlord acknowledges and agrees that the Landlord shall provide Leasehold Lender with notice of the same and Leasehold Lender

shall have the right (but not the obligation) to commence to cure such default within the same period of time as the Tenant has under this Ground Lease, plus an additional sixty (60) days. The Landlord agrees that the Landlord shall not terminate this Ground Lease in connection with any such default so long as Leasehold Lender has cured or commenced to cure and continues diligently to cure in accordance with the foregoing.

(b) If any default in the performance of an obligation of the Tenant under this Ground Lease is not susceptible to being cured by Leasehold Lender, the Landlord shall have no right to terminate this Ground Lease with respect to such default and such default shall be deemed waived for the benefit of Leasehold Lender only; provided that:

(i) Leasehold Lender shall have commenced to cure (i) any other non-payment default of the Tenant that is susceptible to being cured by Leasehold Lender and (ii) any default in the payment of any portion of Rent, in each case, within the time periods prescribed under Section 23.2(a);

(ii) Leasehold Lender (or its designee) shall have commenced to acquire the Tenant’s interest in this Ground Lease and the Site or to commence foreclosure or other appropriate proceedings under the Leasehold Mortgage within the time periods prescribed under Section 23.2(a);

(iii) if Leasehold Lender (or its designee) shall acquire the Tenant’s interest in this Ground Lease and/or the Site, Leasehold Lender (or its designee) shall, without prejudice to Section 23.5, (A) commence to cure and continue diligently to cure all non-payment defaults that are susceptible to being cured by Leasehold Lender with commercially reasonable diligence, (B) cure any payment default in respect of any portion of Rent and (C) perform and observe all other agreements, covenants and conditions which are to be performed or observed by the Tenant under this Ground Lease after the date of such acquisition; and

(iv) if any third party shall, by foreclosure or dation en paiement under the Leasehold Mortgage or by assignment or other transfer from Leasehold Lender, acquire the Tenant’s interest in and to the Site under this Ground Lease, such third party shall, without prejudice to Section 23.5, (A) commence to cure and continue diligently to cure all non-payment defaults that are susceptible to being cured by a third party with commercially reasonable diligence, (B) cure any payment default in respect of any portion of Rent and (C) perform and observe all other agreements, covenants and conditions which are to be performed or observed by the Tenant under this Ground Lease after the date of such acquisition.

However, if the Tenant is in default beyond applicable notice and cure periods under this Ground Lease and Leasehold Lender fails to act under Section 23.2 within the applicable time periods set forth in Section 23.2, then notwithstanding any provision in this Section 23 to the contrary, the Landlord may exercise any right to terminate this Ground Lease that the Landlord may have under Section 15.

23.3 No Modification Without Leasehold Lender’s Consent. Neither the Landlord nor the Tenant will amend, modify, cancel or surrender this Ground Lease without Leasehold Lender’s prior written consent, and any such action taken without Leasehold Lender’s consent shall not be binding on the Tenant or Leasehold Lender or their respective successors and assigns (and this Ground Lease shall be interpreted as if such action was not taken); provided, however, that if the Tenant is in default beyond applicable notice and cure periods under this Ground Lease and Leasehold Lender fails to act under Section 23.2 within the applicable time periods set forth in Section 23.2, then Leasehold Lender’s prior written consent shall not be required for the Landlord to exercise any right to terminate this Ground Lease that the Landlord may have under Section 15.

23.4 Delivery of Notices. The Landlord shall simultaneously deliver to Leasehold Lender copies of all notices, statements, information and communications delivered or required to be delivered to the Tenant pursuant to this Ground Lease, including, without limitation, any notice of any default by the Tenant. In addition, the Landlord shall promptly notify Leasehold Lender in writing of any failure by the Tenant to perform any of the Tenant’s obligations under this Ground Lease. No notice, statement, information or communication given by the Landlord to the Tenant shall be binding or affect the Tenant or Leasehold Lender or their respective successors and assigns unless a copy of the same shall have simultaneously been delivered to Leasehold Lender in accordance with this Section 23.4. All notices to Leasehold Lender shall be addressed to any Leasehold Lender at any address that such Leasehold Lender shall provide in writing to the Landlord and the Tenant, and shall be delivered in a manner permitted under (and shall be deemed delivered in accordance with) Section 18. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Ground Lease, the Landlord shall not exercise any remedies related to the Tenant’s default hereunder until (i) the Landlord has delivered notice of such default to Leasehold Lender pursuant to this Section 23.4 and (ii) all applicable cure commencement periods following the delivery of such notice have expired.

23.5 Leasehold Lender Not Obligated Under Lease; Permitted Transfers. The granting of the Leasehold Mortgage shall not be deemed to constitute an assignment or transfer of this Ground Lease or the Site to Leasehold Lender, nor shall Leasehold Lender, in its capacity as the holder of the Leasehold Mortgage, be deemed to be an assignee or transferee of this Ground Lease or of the Tenant’s interests in the Site thereby created so as to require Leasehold Lender, as such, to assume the performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions on the part of the Tenant to be performed thereunder. In no event shall any act or omission of Leasehold Lender (including, without limitation, the acquisition of the Tenant’s interest in this Ground Lease and the Site created thereby in a transaction described in this Section 23 or the taking of possession of the Site or improvements thereon through a receiver or other means) require Leasehold Lender to assume, or cause Leasehold Lender to be deemed to have assumed, any obligation or liability of the Tenant under this Ground Lease, and Leasehold Lender shall have no personal liability to the Landlord for the Tenant’s failure to so perform and observe any agreement, covenant or condition of the Tenant under this Ground Lease, it being expressly understood and agreed that, in the event of any such failure of the Tenant to perform, the Landlord’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to Leasehold Lender shall be to terminate this Ground Lease without any recourse or claim for damages against Leasehold Lender; provided that this Section 23.5 shall not relieve Leasehold Lender of the requirements under Section 23.2(b)(iii) in the event that Leasehold Lender has elected to acquire the Tenant’s interests in this Ground Lease and/or the Site.

23.6 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 23.5, but for the avoidance of doubt while reserving the Landlord’s right to terminate this Ground Lease pursuant to Section 23.2, the purchaser at any sale of this Ground Lease and the interests in and to the Site thereby created in any proceedings for the foreclosure of the Leasehold Mortgage (including, without limitation, power of sale), or the assignee or transferee of this Ground Lease and the interests in and to the Site thereby created under any instrument of assignment or transfer in lieu of the foreclosure (whether to Leasehold Lender or any third party) shall be deemed to be a permitted assignee or transferee under this Ground Lease without the need to obtain the Landlord’s consent and the Landlord shall recognize such assignee or transferee as the successor-in-interest to the Tenant for all purposes under this Ground Lease, and such purchaser, assignee or transferee shall be deemed to have agreed to perform all of the terms, covenants and conditions on the part of the Tenant to be performed under this Ground Lease from and after the date of such purchase and/or assignment, but only for so long as such purchaser or assignee is the owner of the Tenant’s interest in, to and under this Ground Lease and the Tenant’s interests in and to the Site thereby created.

23.7 No Termination for Casualty. So long as the indebtedness, or any part of the indebtedness, secured by the Leasehold Mortgage remains outstanding and unpaid, and the Leasehold Mortgage remains of record, the Landlord and the Tenant agree that this Ground Lease shall not terminate or be cancelled at any time upon the damage or destruction by fire or other casualty of all, substantially all, or any part of the Site or the Tenant’s Facilities. Rent shall continue to be due and payable as set forth in this Ground Lease.

23.8 Expropriation and Expropriation Proceeds. So long as the indebtedness, or any part of the indebtedness, secured by the Leasehold Mortgage remains outstanding and unpaid, and the Leasehold Mortgage remains of record, the Landlord and the Tenant agree that: (i) this Ground Lease shall not terminate or be canceled upon a taking or expropriation pursuant to an eminent domain proceeding of all, substantially all, or any part of the Site without Leasehold Lender’s consent or unless required by law; (ii) any and all awards for any taking or expropriation of the Facilities, the Improvements and/or the Tenant’s interest in, under and to this Ground Lease which otherwise belong to the Tenant shall be payable to Leasehold Lender, to be disbursed as follows: (A) first, to Leasehold Lender for the value of the interests in and to the Site created by this Ground Lease and the value of the leasehold improvements located on the Site, up to an amount equaling the outstanding principal balance of any loan secured by the Leasehold Mortgage, and any interest accrued thereon, and (B) second, to the Landlord and the Tenant in accordance with this Ground Lease; and (iii) Leasehold Lender shall have the right to apply the expropriation proceeds payable to Leasehold Lender hereunder in accordance with the terms of the Leasehold Mortgage (or other applicable loan documents) and shall be entitled at Leasehold Lender’s option to participate in any compromise, settlement or adjustment with respect to the claim for damages paid by the expropriating authority for the taking or expropriation of the Facilities and/or the Tenant’s interest in, under and to this Ground Lease; provided that this Section 23.8 does not derogate the Landlord’s right to terminate this Ground Lease pursuant to Section 23.2. The Landlord reserves any rights it may have under applicable law to seek from the expropriating authority an award for a taking of the Landlord’s interests in, under and to this Ground Lease. In the event of a taking of a portion of the Site, the Rent shall be reduced pro rata based upon the portion of the Site taken. The Landlord agrees that, to the extent permitted by law, the Landlord waives and forebears the use of any of its power of expropriation that would impair the Tenant’s interest in, under and to this Ground Lease or the performance of this Ground Lease.

23.9 New Direct Lease.

(a) If this Ground Lease is canceled or terminated for any reason (except in connection with a Bankruptcy Proceeding, for which the provisions of Section 23.10 are hereby agreed upon by the Landlord and the Tenant), and provided that Leasehold Lender has (i) commenced to cure and continues diligently to cure all non-payment defaults that are susceptible to being cured by Leasehold Lender with commercially reasonable diligence, and (ii) cured any payment default in respect of any portion of Rent, the Landlord hereby agrees that the Landlord shall, upon Leasehold Lender’s written election within one hundred twenty (120) days of such cancellation or termination, promptly enter in a new, direct lease with Leasehold Lender (or its nominee or any other party which Leasehold Lender may designate, including without limitation, the Tenant) with respect to the Site on the same terms and conditions as this Ground Lease (a “New Lease”), it being the intention of the parties to preserve this Ground Lease and the interests in and to the Site created by this Ground Lease for the benefit of Leasehold Lender without interruption. Said New Lease shall be superior to all rights, liens and interests intervening between the date of this Ground Lease and the granting of the New Lease and shall be free of any and all rights of the Tenant under this Ground Lease.

(b) The Tenant and the Landlord acknowledge and agree that Leasehold Lender shall have the right to encumber such direct New Lease and the estate created thereby with a deed of trust or a mortgage (as the case may be) on the same terms and with the same lien priority as the Leasehold Mortgage, it being the intention of the parties to preserve the priority of the Leasehold Mortgage, this Ground Lease and the interests in and to the Site created by this Ground Lease for the benefit of Leasehold Lender without interruption. If this Ground Lease is rejected, cancelled or terminated for any reason and Leasehold Lender, its nominee or a designee of Leasehold Lender enters into a direct lease with the Landlord with respect to the Site, the Landlord hereby agrees that it will execute such documents as Leasehold Lender may require in order to ensure that the new direct lease provides for customary leasehold mortgagee protections, including without limitation, protections similar to those contained herein.

23.10 Bankruptcy. In the event of a proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 U.S.C.) as now or hereafter in effect (a “Bankruptcy Proceeding”):

(a) If this Ground Lease is rejected in connection with a Bankruptcy Proceeding by the Tenant or a trustee in bankruptcy (or other party to such proceeding) for the Tenant, such rejection shall be deemed an assignment by the Tenant to the Leasehold Lender of the Tenant’s Property and all of the Tenant’s interest under this Ground Lease, and this Ground Lease shall not terminate and the Leasehold Lender shall have all rights and obligations of the Tenant as if such Bankruptcy Proceeding had not occurred, unless Leasehold Lender shall reject such deemed assignment by notice in writing to the Landlord within thirty (30) days following rejection of this Ground Lease by the Tenant or the Tenant’s trustee in bankruptcy. If any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that this Ground Lease shall have been terminated notwithstanding the terms of the preceding sentence as a result of rejection by the Tenant or the trustee in connection with any such proceeding, the rights of Leasehold Lender to a New Lease from the Landlord pursuant to Section 23.9 hereof shall not be affected thereby.

(b) In the event of a Bankruptcy Proceeding against the Landlord:

(i) If the bankruptcy trustee, the Landlord (as debtor-in-possession) or any party to such Bankruptcy Proceeding seeks to reject this Ground Lease pursuant to United States Bankruptcy Code §365(h)(1), the Tenant shall not have the right to treat this Ground Lease as terminated except with the prior written consent of Leasehold Lender and the right to treat this Ground Lease as terminated in such event shall be deemed assigned to Leasehold Lender, whether or not specifically set forth in the Leasehold Mortgage, so that the concurrence in writing of the Tenant and the Leasehold Lender shall be required as a condition to treating this Ground Lease as terminated in connection with such Bankruptcy Proceeding.

(ii) Unless this Ground Lease is treated as terminated in accordance with Section 23.10(b)(i), then this Ground Lease shall continue in effect upon all the terms and conditions set forth herein, including Rent, but excluding requirements that are not then applicable or pertinent to the remainder of the Term. Thereafter, the Tenant or its successors and assigns shall be entitled to any offsets against Rent payable hereunder for any damages arising from such bankruptcy, to the extent the Tenant’s operation of business has been materially interfered with, and any such offset properly made shall not be deemed a default under this Ground Lease. The lien of the Leasehold Mortgage shall extend to the continuing possessory rights of the Tenant following such rejection with the same priority as it would have enjoyed had such rejection not taken place.

23.11 Estoppel Certificates; Non-Disturbance Agreements.

(a) Within fifteen (15) days following Leasehold Lender’s or the Tenant’s written request, the Landlord shall provide Leasehold Lender or the Tenant with an estoppel certificate (the “Landlord Estoppel”) which shall certify to such requesting Leasehold Lender or the Tenant (i) as to the amount and status of all rent payments under this Ground Lease, (ii) as to the non-satisfaction or non-compliance by the Tenant of any other conditions under this Ground Lease, or alternatively, as to the full satisfaction and compliance by the Tenant of any other conditions required under this Ground Lease, (iii) as to any existing default of the Tenant under this Ground Lease, or alternatively that the Tenant is not in default in the payment, performance or observance of any other condition or covenant to be performed or observed by the Tenant thereunder, and as to any existing event or condition in existence as of the date of the Landlord Estoppel which would, with passage of time or the giving of notice or both, constitute a default under this Ground Lease or otherwise entitle the Landlord to terminate, accelerate, or modify this Ground Lease or exercise any other remedy thereunder, or alternatively that no such event or condition exists, (iv) setting forth any offsets or counterclaims on the part of the Landlord or alternatively that there are no offsets or counterclaims on the part of the Landlord, (v) that each of this Ground Lease and the Non-Disturbance Agreement, true, correct copies of which shall be attached thereto together with any amendments, modifications, assignments, restatements, and supplements thereof, have not, except to the extent set forth therein, been amended, modified, assigned, restated, supplemented, or waived in any respect whatsoever and collectively represent the entirety of the agreements between the Landlord and the Tenant with respect to the Site, (vi) as to the date on which the Term is scheduled to expire, (vii) as to the Landlord’s power and

24.17 No Waiver or Surrender. Waiver by the Landlord of any right pertaining to any default of the Tenant shall not constitute a waiver of any right for either a subsequent default of the same obligation or any other default. No act or thing done by the Landlord or the Landlord’s agents shall be deemed to be acceptance of surrender of the Site and no agreement to accept a surrender of the Site shall be valid unless it is in writing and signed by the Landlord.

24.18 Memorandum of Lease. The Parties hereto agree to execute and cause to be properly recorded a memorandum of this Ground Lease, sufficient in form and content to give third parties constructive notice of the Tenant’s interest hereunder, including that the Excluded Area is hereby released unto Landlord free and clear from any and all leases and amendments including the PL Ground Lease and CLV Ground Lease; and thus, any existing or hereafter filed liens, mortgages, conveyances, encumbrances, easements, and servitudes shall be subordinate to this Ground Lease.

25.1 Not later than March 19, 2025 and subject to Tenant’s satisfaction of the conditions set forth below in Section 25.2, if Tenant reasonably determines that, on the basis of its environmental site preparation work, there is a material cost, risk or expense associated with the environmental conditions of the Site that would impede the construction, financing or operation of an LNG export project on the Site (the “Project”), Tenant shall be permitted, on not less than sixty (60) days’ prior written notice, to provide notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 6 (“Notice of Assignment and Amendment of Lease”) to Landlord that the Assignment is rendered null and void ab initio and Landlord hereby agrees that all terms and conditions of this CLV Ground Lease are thereby automatically amended in full to be the terms and conditions of the PL Ground Lease and assigned to Port Louisiana, Inc., all without any further action by Tenant.
