| E. | Upon the Commencement Date, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord an amount equal to _________________________________ (the “Security Deposit”) to secure Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Upon the earlier of the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Commencement Date and the termination of this Lease, the Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant, less (i) any amounts required to repair any damages to the Premises, subject to normal wear and tear; and (ii) any unpaid and outstanding monetary obligations of Tenant under this Lease. Upon a monetary Event of Default and Tenant’s failure to cure same following expiration of the applicable notice and cure period, Landlord may use the Security Deposit to satisfy any such unpaid monetary obligation of Tenant, and Tenant shall, within five (5) Business Days following written notice from Landlord thereof, deposit with Landlord an amount sufficient to replenish the Security Deposit to the same amount as of the Commencement Date; provided, however, if the Security Deposit has been depleted pursuant to the foregoing sentence or Tenant fails to replenish the Security Deposit in accordance with this Lease, then Landlord shall have the right to exercise all of its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to such Event of Default. Tenant shall be permitted to deposit an irrevocable standby letter of credit in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord (“Letter of Credit”) as the Security Deposit. Upon a monetary Event of Default and Tenant’s failure to cure same following expiration of the applicable notice and cure period, Landlord may draw on such Letter of Credit to satisfy any such unpaid monetary obligation of Tenant, and Tenant shall, within five (5) Business Days following written notice from Landlord thereof, deposit with Landlord a replacement Letter of Credit sufficient to replenish the Security Deposit to its original amount; provided, however, if the Letter of Credit has been depleted pursuant to the foregoing sentence or Tenant fails to replenish the Letter of Credit in accordance with this Lease, then Landlord shall have the right to exercise all of its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to such Event of Default. Any Letter of Credit posted by Tenant pursuant to this Lease shall be issued (the following collectively, the “LC Issuer Requirements”): (a) by a commercial bank with a net worth of at least Ten Billion Dollars ($10,000,000,000), (b) that is chartered under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and which is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, (c) whose long-term, unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations are rated in the highest category by at least two of Fitch Ratings Ltd. (Fitch), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s) and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (S&P) (the “Rating Agencies”) or their respective successors (which shall mean A-from Fitch, A3 from Moody’s and A- from Standard & Poor’s), (d) which has a short term deposit rating in the highest category from at least two Rating Agencies (which shall mean F2 from Fitch, P-2 from Moody’s and A-2 from S&P), and (e) which is not insolvent and is not placed into receivership or conservatorship by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or any successor or similar entity, and for which no trustee, receiver or liquidator is appointed. If at any time following the delivery of the Letter of Credit by Tenant pursuant to this Section 5.E the LC Issuer Requirements are not satisfied, then Tenant shall, no later than ten (10) business days after the earlier of (i) Tenant acquiring knowledge that the LC Issuer Requirements are not satisfied and (ii) receipt of written notice thereof, deliver to Landlord either a replacement Letter of Credit which meets the LC Issuer Requirements or cash in the amount of the Security Deposit. If Tenant fails to deliver a replacement Letter of Credit from an institution that satisfies the LC Issuer Requirements or such cash Security Deposit to Landlord within such ten (10) business day period, Landlord, at its option, upon the delivery of written notice to Tenant may draw upon the Letter of Credit and instruct the Letter of Credit issuer to deliver the full amount of the Letter of Credit to Landlord as a cash Security Deposit. It is Tenant’s responsibility to maintain and renew the Letter of Credit such that it is in effect at all times until the return of the Letter of Credit to Tenant in accordance herewith. Tenant shall renew such Letter of Credit no later than thirty (30) days prior to any expiration date thereof or replace such Letter of Credit with a replacement Letter of Credit which otherwise meets the LC Issuer Requirements or with a cash Security Deposit. If Tenant has not renewed the Letter of Credit (and delivered the original of such renewal documentation to Landlord) or delivered a satisfactory replacement Letter of Credit or cash Security Deposit to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of the Letter of Credit, Landlord, at its option, may draw upon the Letter of Credit and instruct the Letter of Credit issuer to deliver the full amount of the Letter of Credit to Landlord as a cash Security Deposit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, until the Lease is severed in accordance with Section 45, in the event Tenant believes in good faith that Tenant is entitled to receive insurance proceeds in accordance with Section 18 or condemnation proceeds in accordance with Section 19 and Landlord refuses, in violation of the terms hereof, to make such proceeds available to Tenant with respect to a Site, Tenant shall have the right to withhold Base Rent in an amount up to the Allocated Base Rent applicable to such Site until such dispute is resolved (and Landlord shall not have the right to draw against either the Security Deposit or Letter of Credit with respect to the Base Rent so withheld); provided that, (i) Tenant shall not be entitled to withhold Base Rent pursuant to the foregoing for more than five (5) Sites at any given time, (ii) Tenant shall only be entitled to withhold Base Rent in an aggregate amount with respect to any such Site not to exceed the amount of proceeds in dispute with respect to such Site, (iii) upon resolution of such dispute Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of Base Rent withheld in accordance with this paragraph plus, if Tenant was not entitled to such proceeds, interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate, and (iv) the foregoing shall not (A) restrict Landlord’s right to draw against either the Security Deposit or Letter of Credit with respect to (x) any amount of Base Rent that Tenant fails to pay in excess of such disputed insurance proceeds or otherwise fails to pay other than in accordance with the foregoing or (y) any other monetary Event of Default or (B) grant or imply any right to Tenant to withhold any Rent due hereunder for any other reason (and any such withholding or failure to pay Rent when due shall be an Event of Default in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof). |
