In addition, with respect to the insurance coverages required to be maintained pursuant to clauses (i) through (vi) of this Paragraph 16(a), Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with those of prudent owners of institutional quality commercial real estate, to maintain insurance coverage against any loss, damage or injury resulting from acts of terrorism.
-23-
(b) The insurance required by Paragraph 16(a) shall be written by companies having a Best’s rating of A:X or above and a claims paying ability rating of AA or better by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, a division of the McGraw Hill Companies, Inc. or equivalent rating agency approved by Landlord and Lender in their sole discretion and are authorized to write insurance policies by, the State Insurance Department (or its equivalent) for the State. The insurance policies (i) shall be for such terms as Landlord may reasonably approve and (ii) shall be in amounts sufficient at all times to satisfy any coinsurance requirements thereof. If said insurance or any part thereof shall expire, be withdrawn, become void, voidable, unreliable or unsafe for any reason, including a breach of any condition thereof by Tenant or the failure or impairment of the capital of any insurer, or if for any other reason whatsoever said insurance shall become reasonably unsatisfactory to Landlord, Tenant shall immediately obtain new or additional insurance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, any insurance required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder (other than Workers’ compensation and employers’ liability insurance under item (a) (iii) above) may be maintained, in whole or in part, under a plan of self-insurance; provided that and only so long as (1) Tenant is not under bankruptcy protection, (2) Tenant’s senior secured debt has a rating of at least AA (or such lower rating as shall be acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion) by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, a division of the McGraw Hill Companies, Inc. or equivalent rating agency approved by Landlord and Lender in their sole discretion, and (3) Tenant’s tangible net worth exceeds Two Hundred Million Dollars ($200,000,000) as shown in its most recent audited financial statement, or if Tenant’s financial statements are reported on a consolidated basis with a parent corporation, then as certified by an officer of Tenant. Any proceeds to be made available or payable by Tenant under a program of self-insurance shall be payable in the same manner and
-24-
to or for the benefit of the same party as a third party insurer’s proceeds under the provisions of Paragraph (h) below and the other provisions of this Paragraph 16, and shall be paid into, held, and disbursed from, the Restoration Fund, as and when applicable, in accordance with Paragraph 19 hereof. If Tenant shall, at any time subsequent to the institution of a self-insurance program hereunder, fail to meet the criteria contained in any one or more of clauses (1), (2) and (3) above, then Tenant shall, within five (5) days of written demand from Landlord, provide Landlord with written evidence (including appropriate ACORD certificates) that Tenant has obtained and shall keep in effect third party insurance coverage meeting the requirements of this Paragraph 16.
(f) Tenant shall not carry separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of a Casualty with that required in this Paragraph 16 unless (i) Landlord and Lender are included therein as named insureds, with loss payable as provided herein, and (ii) such separate insurance complies with the other provisions of this Paragraph 16. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of such separate insurance and shall deliver to Landlord the original policies or certified copies thereof.
(g) Each policy (other than workers’ compensation coverage) shall contain an effective waiver by the carrier against all claims for payment of insurance premiums against Landlord and shall contain a full waiver of subrogation against the Landlord.
(h) The insurance referred to in Paragraphs 16(a)(i), 16(a)(iv) and 16(a)(vi) shall name Landlord as loss payee and Lender as loss payee and mortgagee, and Tenant as its interest may appear. The insurance referred to in Paragraph 16(a)(ii) shall name Landlord and Lender as additional insureds, and the insurance referred to in Paragraph 16(a)(v) shall name Landlord as insured and Lender and Landlord as loss payee to the extent of the Rent payable to or for the benefit of Landlord as its interest appears under the Lease. The proceeds of any insurance required under Paragraph 16(a) shall be payable as follows:
(i) proceeds payable under clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of Paragraph 16(a) and proceeds attributable to the general liability coverage of Builder’s Risk insurance under clause (vi) of Paragraph 16(a) shall be payable to the Person entitled to receive such proceeds; and
(ii) proceeds of insurance required under clause (i) of Paragraph 16(a) and proceeds attributable to Builder’s Risk insurance (other than its general liability coverage provisions) under clause (vi) of Paragraph 16(a) shall be payable and applied as set forth in Paragraph 17 or, if applicable, Paragraph 18. Tenant shall apply the Net Award to restoration of the Leased Premises in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Lease unless a Termination Event shall have occurred and Tenant has given a Termination Notice.
17. Casualty and Condemnation.
(a) If any substantial Casualty to the Leased Premises occurs, Tenant shall give Landlord and Lender prompt notice thereof. If the insurance proceeds for such Casualty are reasonably estimated by Tenant to be less than the Threshold Amount, then so long as no Event of Default shall then exist, Tenant is hereby authorized to adjust, collect and compromise all claims under any of the insurance policies required by Paragraph 16(a) (except public liability
-25-
insurance claims payable to a Person other than Tenant, Landlord or Lender) and to execute and deliver on behalf of Landlord all necessary proofs of loss, receipts, vouchers and releases required by the insurers. If the insurance proceeds are reasonably estimated by Tenant to be in excess of the Threshold Amount, Tenant shall be entitled to enter into negotiations to adjust, collect or compromise any claim of the Net Award payable in connection with a Casualty and Landlord may participate in such negotiations with Tenant therein; provided that, any final adjustment, settlement or compromise of any such claim shall be subject to the prior written approval of Landlord (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but in any event, Landlord shall have the right to prosecute or contest, or to require Tenant to prosecute or contest, any such claim, adjustment, settlement or compromise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default exists, Tenant shall not be entitled to adjust, collect or compromise any claim or to participate with Landlord in any adjustment, collection and compromise of any Net Award payable in connection with a Casualty except upon the express prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be granted or withheld by Landlord in its sole discretion. Nevertheless, Landlord shall, in any event, have the right to prosecute or contest, or to require Tenant to prosecute or contest, any such claim, adjustment, settlement or compromise. Tenant agrees to sign, upon the request of Landlord, all such proofs of loss, receipts, vouchers and releases. If the Net Award is in excess of the Threshold Amount or an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, each insurer is hereby authorized and directed to make payment under said policies, including return of unearned premiums, directly to Landlord or, if required by the Mortgage, to Lender instead of to Landlord and Tenant jointly, and Tenant hereby appoints each of Landlord and Lender as Tenant’s attorneys-in-fact to endorse any draft therefor. The rights of Landlord under this Paragraph 17(a) shall be extended to Lender if and to the extent that any Mortgage so provides.
(b) Tenant, immediately upon receiving a Condemnation Notice, shall notify Landlord and Lender thereof. So long as no Event of Default exists, Tenant is authorized to collect, settle and compromise the amount of any Net Award and Landlord shall have the right to participate in such negotiations with Tenant. If an Event of Default exists, Landlord shall be authorized to collect, settle and compromise the amount of any Net Award and Tenant shall not be entitled to participate with Landlord in any Condemnation proceeding or negotiations under threat thereof or to contest the Condemnation or the amount of the Net Award therefor. No final or binding agreement with any condemnor in settlement or under threat of any Condemnation shall be made by Tenant without the written consent of Landlord. Subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 17(b), Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns to Landlord any award or payment to which Tenant is or may be entitled by reason of any Condemnation, whether the same shall be paid or payable for Tenant’s leasehold interest hereunder or otherwise; but nothing in this Lease shall impair Tenant’s right to any award or payment on account of Tenant’s trade fixtures, equipment or other tangible property which is not part of the Equipment, moving expenses or loss of business, if available, to the extent that and so long as (i) Tenant shall have the right to make, and does make, a separate claim therefor against the condemnor and (ii) such claim does not in any way reduce either the amount of the award otherwise payable to Landlord for the Condemnation of Landlord’s fee interest in the Leased Premises or the amount of the award (if any) otherwise payable for the Condemnation of Tenant’s leasehold interest hereunder. The rights of Landlord under this Paragraph 17(b) shall also be extended to Lender if and to the extent that any Mortgage so provides.
-26-
(c) Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 18(a) with respect to a Termination Event, if any Casualty (whether or not insured against) or Condemnation shall occur, this Lease shall continue notwithstanding such event, and there shall be no abatement or reduction of any Monetary Obligations. Promptly after such Casualty or Partial Condemnation, Tenant, as required in Paragraphs 12(a) and 13(b), shall commence and diligently continue to restore the Leased Premises as nearly as possible to their value, condition and character immediately prior to such event (assuming the Leased Premises to have been in condition required by this Lease) whether or not the Net Award is sufficient therefor. So long as no Event of Default exists, any Net Award up to and including the Threshold Amount shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant and Tenant shall restore the Leased Premises in accordance with the requirements of Paragraphs 12(a) and 13(b) of this Lease. Any Net Award in excess of the Threshold Amount (or an amount equal to the amount of the Net Award that would have otherwise been made available in the Restoration Fund if same had not been applied by Lender under the terms of the Mortgage), shall be made available by Landlord (or Lender, if required by the terms of any Mortgage) to Tenant for the restoration of any of the Leased Premises pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 19 hereof. If any Condemnation which is not a Partial Condemnation shall occur, Tenant shall comply with the terms and conditions of Paragraph 18.
(d) In the event of a Requisition of any of the Leased Premises, if any Net Award payable by reason of such Requisition is (i) retained by Landlord, each installment of Basic Rent payable on or after the date on which the Net Award is paid to Landlord shall be reduced by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the total amount of all Basic Rent due from such date to and including the last Basic Rent Payment Date for the then existing Term and the numerator of which shall be the amount of such Net Award retained by Landlord, or (ii) paid to Lender, then each installment of Basic Rent thereafter payable shall be reduced in the same amount and for the same period as payments are reduced under the Note until such Net Award has been applied in full or until the Term has expired, whichever first occurs.
(e) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, if the Leased Premises suffer a Material Casualty at any time during the last two (2) years of the Term of this Lease (including any exercised or deemed exercised Renewal Term), then, in any such event, Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by written notice thereof given to Landlord in accordance with Paragraph 18(b), within ten (10) days after the Damage Determination Date. As used herein (i) a “Material Casualty” shall mean any casualty wherein the estimated cost of the rebuilding, restoration and/or repair of the Leased Premises in accordance with this Lease exceeds 50% of the estimated true valuation of the Leased Premises as then determined by the tax assessor’s office having jurisdiction over the Leased Premises, and (ii) the “Damage Determination Date” shall mean the date that a good faith written determination of the estimated cost of the rebuilding, restoration or repair, as the case may be, of the Leased Premised by a duly licensed and regionally or nationally recognized architectural or engineering consultant selected by Tenant and reasonably acceptable to Landlord is delivered to Tenant and Landlord, but in no event more than ninety (90) days after the date that the casualty in question occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Tenant be entitled to terminate this Lease under this Paragraph 17(e) and Paragraph 18 if (x) at the time of such Material Casualty the insurance coverage required to be maintained by Tenant under this Lease has been cancelled, terminated, lapsed or is otherwise unavailable for any reason, or if for any other reason such Material Casualty is an uninsured event or (y) the Net Award available from the insurer (together with any sum that Tenant commits in writing to pay to Landlord (or at Landlord’s direction) is not
-27-
sufficient to pay and satisfy in full the outstanding principal balance and scheduled interest under the first mortgage Loan encumbering the Leased Premises.
18. Termination Events.
(a) If (i) a Material Casualty shall occur under the provisions of Paragraph 17(e) above and pursuant to the terms thereof Tenant is entitled to terminate this Lease, (ii) the entire Leased Premises shall be taken by a Taking, or (iii) any substantial portion of the Leased Premises shall be taken by a Taking and, in any such case under this clause (iii), Tenant certifies and covenants to Landlord that the nature and/or extent of the Taking renders the continued operation of Tenant’s business at the Leased Premises for the uses permitted and intended under this Lease no longer economically practicable at the remaining portion of Leased Premises (each of the events described in the above clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) shall hereinafter be referred to as a“Termination Event”), then, Tenant shall (x) within sixty (60) days after Tenant receives a Condemnation Notice, or (y) in the case of a Material Casualty, within the time period proscribed in Paragraph 17(e), give to Landlord written notice in the form described in Paragraph 18(b) of the Tenant’s election to terminate this Lease (a “Termination Notice”), and if Tenant fails to timely deliver, or otherwise elects not to give, the Termination Notice to Landlord, then Tenant shall rebuild, restore or repair, as applicable, the Leased Premises in accordance with Paragraphs 17 and 19 (except in the case of total Taking under clause (ii) above) and, in any event, all Monetary Obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall continue unabated.
(b) A Termination Notice under clauses (ii) or (iii) of Paragraph 18(a) above shall contain (1) notice of Tenant’s intention to terminate this Lease on the first Basic Rent Payment Date which occurs at least thirty (30) days after the date that Landlord and Tenant are required to vacate and surrender the Leased Premises or portion thereof to or at the direction of the condemning authority (such date, the “Termination Date”), (2) a binding and irrevocable offer of Tenant to pay to Landlord the Termination Fee, and (3) if the Termination Event is an event described in Paragraph 18(a)(iii), the certification described therein and a certified resolution of the Board of Directors of Tenant authorizing the same. A Termination Notice under clause (i) only of Paragraph 18(a) above shall contain (1) notice of Tenant’s intention to terminate this Lease on the first Basic Rent Payment Date which occurs at least thirty (30) days after the Damage Determination Date (such date, also a “Termination Date”) and (2) a binding and irrevocable assignment of the Net Award payable as a result of such Material Casualty.
(c) If Landlord shall timely receive the Termination Notice pursuant to Paragraph 18(b), then this Lease shall terminate on the Termination Date; provided that, Tenant has paid the Termination Fee, if applicable, and, if Tenant has not satisfied all Monetary Obligations and all other obligations and liabilities under this Lease which have arisen on or prior to the Termination Date (collectively, “Remaining Obligations”) on the Termination Date, then Landlord may, at its option, extend the date on which this Lease shall terminate to a date which is no later than the first Basic Rent Payment Date after date on which Tenant has satisfied all Remaining Obligations (including the payment of the Termination Fee or receipt of the Net Award in the case of Material Casualty, as the case may be) regardless of the fact that Tenant is no longer in physical possession of all or any part of the Leased Premises. Upon such termination (i) all obligations of Tenant hereunder shall terminate except for any Surviving Obligations, (ii) Tenant shall immediately vacate and shall have no further right, title or interest
-28-
in or to any of the Leased Premises and (iii) the Net Award shall be payable to and retained by Landlord (and to the extent necessary to carry out the intent of this Paragraph, Tenant shall assign to Landlord Tenant’s entire interest in and to any of the Net Award, if such assignment shall not have already occurred).
(d) Unless Tenant shall have timely delivered the Termination Notice, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE, Tenant shall be conclusively presumed to have elected to continue this Lease and to rebuild, restore or repair the Leased Premises in accordance with Paragraphs 17 and 19
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event of a Termination Event under clause (ii) or (iii) of Paragraph 18(a) above, if (x) the amount of the applicable Termination Fee paid by Tenant to Landlord plus (y) the amount of the Net Award payable to Landlord by the condemning authority ((x) plus (y), hereinafter referred to as the “Net Aggregate Fee”) exceeds $29,000,000.00, then Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Net Award from the condemning authority, refund to Tenant a sum equal to the amount by which the Net Aggregate Fee exceeds $29,000,000; provided that, such refund shall in no event exceed the amount of the Termination Fee actually paid by Tenant, even if the Net Award alone exceeds $29,000,000. The provisions of this Paragraph 18(e) shall survive the termination of this Lease
19. Restoration.
(a) If any Net Award is in excess of the Threshold Amount, then the portion thereof below the Threshold Amount shall be paid to Tenant as per Paragraph 17(a) (to be used for the preservation and/or repair of the Leased Premises), and Landlord (or Lender if required by any Mortgage) shall hold the entire remaining balance of the Net Award in excess of such Threshold Amount in a fund (the “Restoration Fund”) and disburse amounts from the Restoration Fund only in accordance with the following conditions:
(i) prior to commencement of restoration, (A) the architects, contracts, contractors, and a budget for the restoration shall have been approved by Landlord, (B) in the event that the planned restoration shall deviate in any material respect from the Leased Premises as they existed immediately prior to the Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, the plans and specifications shall have been approved by Landlord, (C) Landlord and Lender shall be provided with, if requested in writing by Landlord at the time in question, acceptable performance and payment bonds which insure satisfactory completion of and payment for the restoration, are in an amount acceptable to Landlord and in form and have a surety reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and name Landlord and Lender as additional dual obligees, and (C) appropriate waivers of mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens shall have been obtained or filed (to the extent permitted by applicable Laws);
(ii) at the time of any disbursement, no Event of Default shall exist and no mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens shall have been filed against any of the Leased Premises and remain undischarged;
-29-
(iii) disbursements shall be made from time to time (but not more frequently then every thirty (30) days) in an amount not exceeding the cost of the work completed since the last disbursement, and not later than fifteen (15) days following Landlord’s receipt of each of the following (A) satisfactory evidence, including architects’ certificates, of the stage of completion, the estimated total cost of completion and performance of the work to date in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the contracts, plans and specifications, (B) waivers of liens, (C) contractors’ and subcontractors’ sworn statements as to completed work and the cost thereof for which payment is requested, (D) a satisfactory bringdown of title insurance or continuation of searches indicating no intervening liens or encumbrances, including mechanics’ liens and (E) other evidence of cost and payment so that Landlord can verify that the amounts disbursed from time to time are represented by work that is completed, in place and free and clear of mechanics’ and materialmen’s lien claims;
(iv) each request for disbursement shall be accompanied by a certificate of Tenant, signed by an authorized officer of Tenant, describing the work for which payment is requested, stating the cost incurred in connection therewith, stating that Tenant has not previously received payment for such work and, upon completion of the work, also stating that the work has been substantially completed and complies with the applicable requirements of this Lease;
(v) Landlord may retain ten percent (10%) of the restoration fund until the restoration is fully completed. Landlord shall pay to Tenant any remaining amount together with applicable interest of the Restoration Fund retained by Landlord within twenty (20) days following the date such Restoration is fully completed and Landlord has received written notice from Tenant stating that such Restoration has been completed;
(vi) if the Restoration Fund is held by Landlord, the Restoration Fund shall not be commingled with Landlord’s other funds and shall bear interest at a rate agreed to by Landlord and Tenant; and
(vii) such other reasonable conditions as Landlord or Lender may impose.
(b) Prior to commencement of restoration and at any time during restoration, if the estimated cost of completing the restoration work free and clear of all liens, as reasonably determined by Landlord, exceeds the amount of the Net Award available for such restoration, the amount of such excess (the “Restoration Deficiency”) shall, upon demand by Landlord, be paid by Tenant to Landlord to be added to the Restoration Fund. Any sum so added by Tenant which remains in the Restoration Fund upon completion of restoration shall be refunded to Tenant. For purposes of determining the source of funds with respect to the disposition of funds remaining after the completion of restoration, the Net Award shall be deemed to be disbursed prior to any amount added by Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Tenant shall demonstrate to Landlord, in Landlord’s sole discretion, that Tenant shall have adequate immediately available funds to pay for the Restoration Deficiency, Tenant shall not be required to pay such sums to Landlord to be added to the Restoration Fund but shall instead be obligated to pay for all Costs with respect to the restoration work as such Costs arise until such time as the estimated cost of completing the remaining restoration work free and clear of all liens, as
-30-
determined by Landlord, shall be equal to or less than the amount of the Net Award. Landlord or Lender, as applicable, shall have no obligation to disburse any sums from the Restoration Fund unless and until the estimated cost of completing the remaining restoration work free and clear of all liens, as determined by Landlord, shall be equal to or less than the amount of the Net Award.
(c) Provided that no Event of Default shall then exist, if any sum remains in the Restoration Fund after completion of the restoration and any refund to Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 19(b), such sums shall be paid to Tenant.
20. Intentionally Omitted.
21. Assignment and Subletting. Prohibition Against Leasehold Financing.
(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided to the contrary in this Paragraph 21, Tenant may not (i) assign this Lease, voluntarily or involuntarily, whether by operation of law or otherwise (including through merger or consolidation) to any Person other than a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tenant or a Credit Entity, or (ii) sublet any of the Leased Premises at any time to any other Person other than an Affiliate or a Credit Entity without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be granted or withheld by Landlord in accordance with the provisions of Paragraphs 21(b) or 21(c) below, as applicable; and subject, in each case, to the provisions of Paragraphs 21 (j) and 21(k) below. Any purported sublease or assignment in violation of this Paragraph 21 (including an Affiliate transaction in violation of the provisions of Paragraphs 21(j) or 21(k) below) shall be null and void. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph 21, Tenant shall not have the right to assign this Lease (voluntarily or involuntarily, whether by operation of law or otherwise), or sublet any of the Leased Premises to any Person (including any Affiliate) at any time that an Event of Default beyond any applicable notice and cure period shall have occurred and then be continuing under this Lease. As used herein, a “Credit Entity” shall mean any Person that immediately following such assignment or subletting will have a publicly traded unsecured senior debt rating of “Baa3” or better from Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. or a rating of “BBB-” or better from Standard & Poor’s Corporation and not be on credit watch (or, if such Person does not then have rated debt, a determination that its unsecured senior debt would be so rated by such rating agencies), and in the event all of such rating agencies cease to furnish such ratings, then a comparable rating by any rating agency acceptable to Landlord and Lender.
(b) (1) If Tenant desires to assign this Lease, whether by operation of law or otherwise, to a Person (“Non-Preapproved Assignee”) that is not a Credit Entity or wholly-owned subsidiary of Tenant (each a“Non-Preapproved Assignment”) then Tenant shall, not less than sixty (60) days prior to the date on which it desires to make a Non-Preapproved Assignment submit to Landlord and Lender information regarding the following with respect to the Non-Preapproved Assignee (collectively, the “Review Criteria”): (A) credit, (B) management, (C) operating history with respect to years of operation, payment patterns and care and maintenance of similar facilities owned or operated, (D) proposed use of the Leased Premises and (E) risk factors associated with the proposed use of the Leased Premises by the Non-Preapproved Assignee, taking into account factors such as environmental concerns, product liability and the like. Landlord and Lender shall review such information and shall approve or disapprove the Non-Preapproved Assignee no later than the thirtieth (30th) day following receipt of all such
-31-
information, and Landlord and Lender shall not unreasonably withhold or delay such consent based on their review of the Review Criteria. If a responsive notice is not given by Landlord to Tenant by the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, then such proposed Non-Preapproved Assignment shall be deemed approved (provided that no such deemed approval shall, in any instance, be deemed a consent to or approval of any purported release of Tenant hereunder from its obligations under this Lease).
(2) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Paragraph 21(b)(l) above, if, as of the date of Tenant’s request to assign this Lease and on the effective date of such proposed assignment, Tenant is a Credit Entity and no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing under this Lease beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, then Landlord agrees that it shall consent to a proposed assignment to a Non-PreApproved Assignee unless (i) such Non-Preapproved Assignee’s proposed use of the Leased Premises or any material portion thereof is for a use other than a permitted use under Paragraph 4 hereof (or would otherwise be in violation of this Lease) or (ii) a primary or substantial portion of such proposed Non-Preapproved Assignee’s business operations at the Leased Premises or the nature of the good or products to be stored and/or distributed from any part of the Leased Premises (or the particular manner of use of the Leased Premises or any material part thereof), involves, Hazardous Materials, explosives or highly flammable products or materials, fertilizers and/or pesticides, or other per se dangerous activities, which in Landlord’s reasonable determination, does or could result in material increased risks (taking into account factors such as insurability, environmental concerns, product liability, death or injury to persons or property at the Leased Premises, or acts of terrorism). If a responsive notice is not given by Landlord to Tenant within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s request, then such proposed Non-Preapproved Assignment shall be deemed approved.
(c) Tenant shall have the right, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord and Lender, but without the consent or approval of Landlord or Lender being required or necessary, to enter into (i) one or more subleases at the Leased Premises with a Credit Entity or an Affiliate of Tenant (but only for so long as such entity remains an Affiliate) and (ii) one or more subleases demising not more than fifty (50%) percent of the gross leasable area of the Improvements at the Leased Premises (each, a “Preapproved Sublet”). Other than pursuant to Preapproved Sublets, at no time during the Term shall Tenant sublease any of the Leased Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall be granted or withheld based on a review of the Review Criteria as they relate to the proposed sublessee and the terms of the proposed sublease. If a responsive notice is not given by Landlord to Tenant by the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, then such proposed sublease shall be deemed approved.
(d) If Tenant assigns all its rights and interest under this Lease, the assignee under such assignment shall expressly assume all the obligations of Tenant hereunder, actual or contingent, including obligations of Tenant which may have arisen on or prior to the date of such assignment, by a written instrument delivered to Landlord at the time of such assignment and shall also provide any certification reasonably required by Landlord related to the USA Patriot Act. Each sublease shall (A) be expressly subject and subordinate to this Lease and any Mortgage encumbering the Leased Premises; (B) not extend beyond the then current Term minus one day; (C) terminate upon any termination of this Lease, unless Landlord elects in writing, to
-32-
cause the sublessee to attorn to and recognize Landlord as the lessor under such sublease, whereupon such sublease shall continue as a direct lease between the sublessee and Landlord upon all the terms and conditions of such sublease; and (D) bind the sublessee to all covenants contained in Paragraphs 4(a), 10 and 12 with respect to subleased premises to the same extent as if the sublessee were the Tenant. No assignment or sublease shall affect or reduce any of the obligations of Tenant hereunder, and all such obligations shall continue in full force and effect as obligations of a principal and not as obligations of a guarantor, as if no assignment or sublease had been made. No assignment or sublease shall impose any additional obligations on Landlord under this Lease.
(e) Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after the execution and delivery of any assignment or sublease, deliver a duplicate original copy thereof to Landlord which, in the event of an assignment, shall be in recordable form.

-37-
damages beyond the date of such demand (it being agreed that it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to fix the actual damages), an amount equal to the Present Value of the excess, if any, of (A) all Basic Rent from the date of such demand to the date on which the Term is scheduled to expire hereunder in the absence of any earlier termination, re-entry or repossession over (B) the then fair market rental value of the Leased Premises for the same period.

Tenant shall be and remain liable for all sums aforesaid, and Landlord may recover such damages from Tenant and institute and maintain successive actions or legal proceedings against Tenant for the recovery of such damages. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require Landlord to wait to begin such action or other legal proceedings until the date when the Term would have expired by its own terms had there been no such Event of Default.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, provided that Landlord has not elected liquidated or agreed final damages pursuant to Paragraph 23 (b) above, in lieu of or in addition to any of the foregoing remedies and damages, Landlord may exercise any remedies and collect any monetary damages available to it at law or in equity with or without terminating this Lease; but nothing herein is intended or shall limit any right to an injunction, temporary restraining order, declaratory relief or other equitable remedy then available to Landlord under the circumstances of the particular Event of Default in question. If Landlord is unable to obtain full satisfaction pursuant to the exercise of any remedy, it may pursue any other remedy which it has hereunder or at law or in equity.

(h) No failure of Landlord (i) to insist at any time upon the strict performance of any provision of this Lease or (ii) to exercise any option, right, power or remedy contained in this Lease shall be construed as a waiver, modification or relinquishment thereof. A receipt by Landlord of any sum in satisfaction of any Monetary Obligation with knowledge of the breach of any provision hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, and no waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in a writing signed by Landlord.
(i) Tenant hereby waives and surrenders, for itself and all those claiming under it, including creditors of all kinds, (i) any right and privilege which it or any of them may have under any present or future Law to redeem any of the Leased Premises or to have a continuance of this Lease after termination of this Lease or of Tenant’s right of occupancy or possession pursuant to any court order or any provision hereof, and (ii) the benefits of any present or future Law which exempts property from liability for debt or for distress for rent.

(a) This Lease and Tenant’s interest hereunder shall be subordinate to any Mortgage or other security instrument hereafter placed upon the Leased Premises by Landlord, and to any and all advances made or to be made thereunder, to the interest thereon, and all renewals, replacements and extensions thereof; provided and upon condition that any such Mortgage or other security instrument (or a separate instrument in recordable form duly executed by the holder of any such Mortgage or other security instrument and delivered to Tenant) shall provide for the recognition of this Lease and all Tenant’s rights hereunder and shall not disturb Tenant’s use and/or possession of the Leased Premises unless and until an Event of Default exists or Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease pursuant to any applicable provision hereof.
(b) Landlord agrees that, upon the request of any Person that shall be Tenant’s senior secured lender, or a purchase money equipment lender or equipment lessor of Tenant, Landlord shall negotiate in good faith for the purpose of executing and delivering a commercially reasonable waiver (a “Waiver”) of Landlord’s statutory lien rights, if any, and a consent and agreement with respect to the respective rights of Landlord and such Person regarding the security interests in, and the timing and removal of, any inventory, equipment or other collateral in which such Person has a secured interest (the “Collateral”), in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord and such Person, so long as such Waiver (i) provides for the indemnification of Landlord against any claims by Tenant or any Person claiming through Tenant, and against any physical damage caused to the Leased Premises, in connection with the removal of any of the Collateral by such Person, (ii) expressly excludes any claim by such Person to any right, title or interest in or to any of the Equipment as defined in this Lease, (iii) provides for a reasonable, but limited, time frame for the removal of such Collateral by such Person after the expiration of which same shall be deemed abandoned, and (iv) provides for the per diem payment of Basic Rent due hereunder by such Person for each day after the fifth (5th) business day following the date of the expiration or termination of this Lease that Landlord permits such Person’s Collateral to remain at the Leased Premises.
33. Tax Treatment; Reporting. Landlord and Tenant each acknowledge that each shall treat this transaction as a true lease for state law purposes and shall report this transaction as a Lease for Federal income tax purposes.

-44-
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) with respect to the Leased Premises and Equipment, (2) Tenant reporting its Rent payments as rent expense under Section 162 of the Code, and (3) Landlord reporting the Rent payments as rental income.
34. Intentionally Omitted.
35. Right of First Offer.
(a) If Landlord decides to offer the Leased Premises for sale to any third party, Landlord shall first offer by written notice (the “Offer”) to sell the Leased Premises to Tenant for a specific purchase price (the “ROFO Purchase Price”) and, upon such terms and conditions as Landlord, in Landlord’s sole discretion, would otherwise intend to offer to sell the Leased Premises, prior to Landlord’s offering to sell the Leased Premises to any such third party except that the terms and conditions of any such sale to Tenant shall be (i) consistent with the terms and provisions of this Paragraph 35 and (ii) the sale to Tenant shall be “AS IS”, “WHERE IS”, without representation or warranty by Landlord. If Landlord shall make the Offer, then, whether or not Tenant has accepted the Offer, Landlord shall have the unilateral right, in Landlord’s sole discretion, to revoke the Offer if an Event of Default exists under this Lease on the date on which Landlord shall give, or would otherwise be required to give, Tenant the Offer.
(b) Tenant shall have the right to accept the Offer only by giving Landlord written notice of such acceptance (the “ROFO Notice”) within thirty (30) days after delivery by Landlord to Tenant of the Offer. Time shall be of the essence with respect to said thirty (30) day period and delivery of the ROFO Notice by Tenant. If Tenant shall accept the Offer, Tenant shall execute any documentation reasonably required by Landlord to reflect Tenant’s acceptance of the Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease upon the delivery of the ROFO Notice by Tenant, no event or circumstances affecting the Leased Premises including, but not limited to, a Condemnation or Casualty, shall give Tenant any right or option of Tenant to cancel, surrender or otherwise terminate this Lease, and any other right or option of Tenant under the Lease to acquire the Leased Premises, shall automatically be deemed to have been waived by Tenant for all purposes under this Lease.
(c) If Tenant does not accept, or fails to accept, the Offer in accordance with the provisions herein, Landlord shall be under no further obligation with respect to such Offer pursuant to the terms contained herein, and Tenant shall have forever waived and relinquished its right to such Offer, and Landlord shall at any and all times thereafter be entitled to market the Leased Premises to others upon such terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may determine, except that (i) if the price (“Third Party Price”) for which Landlord enters into a binding contract (“Third Party Contract”) to sell the Leased Premises is less than ninety percent (90%) of the ROFO Purchase Price, Tenant shall have fifteen (15) days in which to accept the Third Party Price and (ii) if Landlord shall fail to close the transfer of the Leased Premises pursuant to such Third Party Contract within on hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the Offer, then the provisions of this Paragraph 35 shall again be applicable and Landlord shall, if it still intends on selling the Leased Premises, again Offer to sell the Leased Premises to Tenant. Tenant shall, within five (5) days after Landlord’s request therefor, deliver an instrument in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord confirming the aforesaid waiver, but no such instrument shall be necessary to make the provisions hereof effective.
-45-
(d) If Tenant does not timely deliver the ROFO Notice and the Leased Premises are transferred to a third party, Tenant will attorn to such third party as Landlord so long as such third party and Landlord notify Tenant in writing of such transfer. At the request of Landlord, Tenant will execute such documents confirming the agreement referred to above and such other agreements as Landlord may reasonably request, provided that such agreements do not increase the liabilities and obligations of Tenant hereunder.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of this Paragraph 35 shall not apply to or prohibit (i) any mortgaging, subjection to deed of trust or other hypothecation of Landlord’s interest in the Leased Premises, (ii) any sale of the Leased Premises pursuant to a private power of sale under or judicial foreclosure of any Mortgage or other security instrument or device to which Landlord’s interest in the Leased Premises is now or hereafter subject, (iii) any transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Leased Premises to a Lender, beneficiary under deed of trust or other hold of a security interest therein or their designees by deed in lieu of foreclosure, (iv) any transfer of the Leased Premises to any governmental or quasi-governmental agency with power of condemnation, (v) any transfer of the Leased Premises or any interest therein or in Landlord to any affiliate of Corporate Property Associates 16-Global Incorporated (“CPA:16”) or to any current or future REIT or real estate company that can reasonably be determined to be a part of the so-called “W.P. Carey family of funds” (i.e., similar to CPA:16) and for whom W.P. Carey & Co. LLC or any of its affiliates provides management or advisory services or investment advice, (vi) a transfer to any person or entity to whom CPA:16 sells all or substantially all of its assets, or (vii) any transfer of the Leased Premises to any of the successors or assigns of any of the persons or entities referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi).
(f) If the Leased Premises is purchased by Tenant pursuant to this Paragraph 35, Landlord need not convey any better title thereto than that which was conveyed to Landlord, and Tenant shall accept such title, subject, however, to the Permitted Encumbrances and to all other liens, exceptions and restrictions on, against or relating to any of the Leased Premises and to all applicable Laws, but free of the lien of and security interest created by any Mortgage or assignment of leases and rents and liens, exceptions and restrictions on, against or relating to the Leased Premises which have been created by or resulted solely from acts of Landlord after the date of this Lease, unless the same are Permitted Encumbrances or customary utility easements benefiting the Leased Premises or were created with the concurrence of Tenant or as a result of a default by Tenant under this Lease.
(g) Upon the date fixed for a purchase of the Leased Premises pursuant to this Paragraph 35 which shall be a date mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant which shall be no later than either sixty (60) days following acceptance of the Offer or the date specified in the Third Party Contract, if applicable, (the “Purchase Date”), Tenant shall pay to Landlord, or to any Person to whom Landlord directs payment, the ROFO Purchase Price and all other sums payable by Tenant under the Offer, in Federal Funds, and Landlord shall deliver to Tenant or its designee (i) special warranty deeds or their equivalent which describe the Leased Premises being conveyed and conveys the title thereto as provided in Paragraph 35(f) above and (ii) such other instruments as shall be necessary to transfer the Leased Premises to Tenant or its designee. If on the Purchase Date any Monetary Obligations remain outstanding Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the Purchase Date the amount of such Monetary Obligations. Upon the completion of such
-46-
purchase by Tenant or its designee, this Lease and all obligations and liabilities of Tenant hereunder shall terminate, except any obligations of Tenant under this Lease, actual or contingent, which arise on or prior to the expiration or termination of this Lease or which survive such expiration or termination by their own terms. Any prepaid Monetary Obligations paid to Landlord shall be prorated as of the Purchase Date, and the prorated unapplied balance shall be deducted from the ROFO Purchase Price due to Landlord; provided, that no apportionment of any Impositions shall be made upon any such purchase.
If the completion of the purchase by Tenant or its designee pursuant to this Paragraph 35 shall be delayed after the date scheduled for such purchase, Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall continue to be due and payable until completion of such purchase.
36.Miscellaneous.
(a) The paragraph headings in this Lease are used only for convenience in finding the subject matters and are not part of this Lease or to be used in determining the intent of the parties or otherwise interpreting this Lease.
(b) As used in this Lease, the singular shall include the plural and any gender shall include all genders as the context requires and the following words and phrases shall have the following meanings: (i) “including” shall mean “including without limitation”; (ii) “provisions” shall mean “provisions, terms, agreements, covenants and/or conditions”; (iii) “lien” shall mean “lien, charge, encumbrance, title retention agreement, pledge, security interest, mortgage and/or deed of trust”; (iv) “obligation” shall mean “obligation, duty, agreement, liability, covenant and/or condition”; (v) “any of the Leased Premises” shall mean “the Leased Premises or any part thereof or interest therein”; (vi) “any of the Land” shall mean “the Land or any part thereof or interest therein”; (vii) “any of the Improvements” shall mean “the Improvements or any part thereof or interest therein”; and (viii) “any of the Equipment” shall mean “the Equipment or any part thereof or interest therein”; and
(c) Any act which Landlord is permitted to perform under this Lease may be performed at any time and from time to time by Landlord or any person or entity designated by Landlord. Any appointment of Landlord as attorney-in-fact for Tenant hereunder is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent whenever such consent is required under this Lease, except as otherwise specifically provided herein and except that with respect to any assignment of this Lease or subletting of the Leased Premises not expressly permitted by the terms of this Lease, Landlord may withhold its consent for any reason or no reason. In any instance in which Landlord agrees not to act unreasonably, Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages against or liability of Landlord which is based upon a claim that Landlord has unreasonably withheld or unreasonably delayed any consent or approval requested by Tenant, and Tenant agrees that its sole remedy shall be an action for declaratory judgment or to request arbitration as set forth herein below. If with respect to any required consent or approval Landlord is required by the express provisions of this Lease not to unreasonably withhold or delay its consent or approval, and if it is determined in any such proceeding referred to in the preceding sentence or pursuant to arbitration as set forth hereinbelow, that Landlord acted unreasonably, the requested consent or approval shall be deemed to have been granted; however, Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever to Tenant for
-47-
its refusal or failure to give such consent or approval. Tenant’s sole remedy for Landlord’s unreasonably withholding or delaying, consent or approval shall be as provided in this Paragraph. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance by Landlord and Tenant of any of their respective obligations under this Lease that are required to be paid, performed or observed within a set time period or number of days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any dispute between Landlord and Tenant based upon a claim that Landlord has unreasonably withheld or unreasonably delayed any consent or approval requested by Tenant (but only in such instances where this Lease expressly provides that Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay such consent or approval under the applicable circumstances), then Landlord and Tenant agree that either party shall have the right, upon five (5) days prior written notice to the other party (which notice may not be given prior to the expiration of the review, determination and notice period to which Landlord is entitled under the applicable provision of this Lease), to request that such dispute be resolved and determined by arbitration in the City of New York in accordance with the rules and regulations of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) or its successor, utilizing the Expedited Procedures of the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA, and any such determination shall be final and binding on the parties (except as excluded in the last sentence hereof), whether or not a judgment shall be entered in any court. Without limiting the application of this Paragraph 36(c) to any other Paragraph of this Lease, the provisions hereof shall be applicable to Paragraphs 21(b) and (c) of this Lease; provided that in no event shall any arbitrator’s decision that Landlord has been unreasonable be binding upon Landlord in any instance where the then-existing Tenant hereunder seeks to or has conditioned its request for approval or consent upon a release from its obligations under this Lease.
(d) Landlord shall in no event be construed for any purpose to be a partner, joint venturer or associate of Tenant or of any subtenant, operator, concessionaire or licensee of Tenant with respect to any of the Leased Premises or otherwise in the conduct of their respective businesses.
(e) This Lease and any documents which may be executed by Tenant on or about the effective date hereof at Landlord’s request constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties hereto relating to the Leased Premises and the transactions provided for herein. Landlord and Tenant are business entities having substantial experience with the subject matter of this Lease and have each fully participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Lease. Accordingly, this Lease shall be construed without regard to the rule that ambiguities in a document are to be construed against the drafter.
(f) This Lease may be modified, amended, discharged or waived only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such modification, amendment, discharge or waiver is sought.
(g) The covenants of this Lease shall run with the land and bind Landlord and Tenant, their respective successors and assigns and all present and subsequent encumbrancers and subtenants of any of the Leased Premises, and shall inure to the benefit of Landlord, its successors and assigns and Tenant and any permitted successors or assignees hereunder unless
-48-
otherwise stated. If there is more than one Tenant, the obligations of each shall be joint and several.
(h) If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Lease shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Lease, but this Lease shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
(i) All exhibits attached hereto are incorporated herein as if fully set forth.
(j) This Lease shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State.
(k) Tenant is not, nor will Tenant become, a Person with whom U.S. persons or entities are restricted from doing business under regulations of the Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”) of the Department of the Treasury (including those named on OFAC’s Specially Designated and Blocked Persons list) or under any statute, executive order (including the September 24, 2001, Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action and Tenant not will engage in any dealings or transactions or be otherwise associated with such persons or entities.
(l) This Lease may be executed in a number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement.
37. Additional State Provisions. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary:
(a) Where any provision of this Lease is inconsistent with any provision of applicable Laws of the State of Indiana (“State Law”), the provisions of State Law shall take precedence over the provisions of this Lease, but shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provisions of this Lease that can be construed in a manner consistent with State Law. Should State Law confer any rights or impose any duties inconsistent with or in addition to any of the provisions of this Lease, the affected provisions of this Lease shall be considered amended to conform to such State Law, but all other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect without modification.
(b) To the extent that State Law limits (i) the availability of the exercise of any of the remedies set forth in the Lease, and the right of Landlord to exercise self-help in connection with the enforcement of the terms of this Lease, or (ii) the enforcement of waivers and indemnities made by Tenant, such remedies, waivers, or indemnities shall be exercisable or enforceable, any provisions in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, if, and to the extent, permitted by State Law in force at the time of the exercise of such remedies or the enforcement of such waivers or indemnities without regard to the enforceability of such remedies, waivers or indemnities at the time of the execution and delivery of this Lease.
-49-
(c) Tenant covenants and agrees with Landlord that if Landlord, upon an Event of Default by Tenant, elects to file a suit to enforce this Lease and protect Landlord’s rights hereunder, Landlord may in such suit apply to any court having jurisdiction, for the appointment of a receiver of the Leased Premises and Tenant hereby consents to such appointment, and thereupon it is expressly covenanted and agreed that the court shall without notice forthwith appoint a receiver with the usual powers and duties of receivers in like cases pursuant to State Law, and such appointment shall be made by such court as a matter of strict right to Landlord and without reference to the adequacy or inadequacy of the value of the Leased Premises that is subject this Lease, or to the solvency or insolvency of Tenant, and without reference to the commission of waste.
(d) Tenant waives, to the fullest extent permitted by State Law, any notice to quit as a condition precedent to Landlord’s remedies under Paragraph 23 of this Lease.
(e) Whenever in this Lease a party is entitled to recover attorneys’ fees in any litigation, such party shall be entitled to recover all reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and costs incurred at, before and after trial and on appeal, whether or not taxable as costs, in such litigation.
(f) Landlord and Tenant agree to execute and record a memorandum of lease that will satisfy the requirements of Ind. Code 36-2-11-20, in the office of the County Recorder in which the Leased Premises is located.

Pro rata Schedule Basic Rent for the period from the date hereof through the last day of the calendar month in which the Primary Term Commencement Date of this Lease occurs shall be paid on the date hereof.
2. Expansion Basic Rent to and Including the Funding Deadline.
(a) In addition to the Schedule Basic Rent, commencing on the date hereof, and continuing on each succeeding Basic Rent Payment Date to and including the month in which the Funding Deadline occurs, Expansion Basic Rent shall be payable monthly on each Basic Rent Payment Date in an amount equal to (x) LIBOR plus 400 basis points, multiplied by (y) the amount advanced by Landlord for Landlord’s Share of Project Costs (exclusive of the Acquisition Fee) for the Leased Premises, which shall be calculated based on the number of days each advance is outstanding prior to such Basic Rent Payment Date. The amount set forth in the foregoing sentence shall, absent manifest error, be conclusively determined from the books and records of Landlord. Tenant shall have the right, upon reasonable prior notice, to inspect Landlord’s books and records relevant to such determination to verify the accuracy of Landlord’s calculation of Basic Rent. If the Funding Deadline occurs on a date other than the first calendar day of the month, then such Expansion Basic Rent under this Paragraph 2 shall be prorated for such final month.
(b) For so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, on each Basic Rent Payment Date that occurs on or prior to, but not after the Funding Deadline, and relates to any period occurring prior to the Funding Deadline, Landlord shall approve as an advance of Landlord’s Share of Project Costs, the monthly installments of Expansion Basic Rent payable by Tenant under this Paragraph 2 and will credit each such advance against the installment of Expansion Basic Rent then due and owing; provided, however, that (i) from and after the Funding Deadline Landlord’s obligation to make any further advance for future installments of Basic Rent shall terminate and all such future payments of Expansion Basic Rent shall be made by Tenant, and (ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Landlord shall have no obligation to make any further advances for installments of Expansion Basic Rent payable under this Paragraph 2, and Tenant shall make all further payments of Expansion Basic Rent from its own funds unless and until any such Event of Default is cured.

Commencing on the Basic Rent Payment Date for the month in which the Funding Deadline occurs and continuing on each Basic Rent Payment Date thereafter (including each basic Rent Payment occurring during each Renewal Term) until the expiration of the Term, Expansion Basic Rent shall be payable in an amount equal to one twelfth (1/12) of the product of 9.90% multiplied by Landlord’s Share of Project Costs for the Leased Premises, subject to adjustment as provided in Paragraph 4, 5 and 6 below. Promptly following the Initial Term Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an addendum to this Lease setting forth the numerical amount of the initial annual and monthly payments of Expansion Basic Rent payable for the Leased Premises. If the Funding Deadline occurs on a date other than the first calendar day of the month, then such Basic Rent under this Paragraph 3 shall be prorated for such initial month, so that there shall be no duplication of the Basic Rent due under Paragraph 2 above and this Paragraph 3 for any given calendar day.
4. CPI Adjustments to Expansion Basic Rent. The Expansion Basic Rent shall be subject to adjustment, in the manner hereinafter set forth, for increases in the index known as United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumers, United States City Average, All Items, (1982-84=100) (“CPI”) or the successor index that most closely approximates the CPI. If the CPI shall be discontinued with no successor or comparable successor index, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon a substitute index or formula, but if they are unable to so agree, then the matter shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then prevailing in New York City. Any decision or award resulting from such arbitration shall be final and binding upon Landlord and Tenant and judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. In no event will the annual Expansion Basic Rent as adjusted by the CPI adjustment be less than the annual Expansion Basic Rent in effect for the one (1) year period immediately preceding such adjustment.
5. Effective Dates of Expansion Basic Rent Increases. Expansion Basic Rent shall not be adjusted until the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Basic Rent Payment Date on which the first full monthly installment of Expansion Basic Rent shall be due and payable (the“First Full Expansion Basic Rent Payment Date”). As of such fifth (5th) anniversary of the First Full Expansion Basic Rent Payment Date and thereafter on the tenth (10th), and, if the Initial Term is extended then on the fifteenth (15th), twentieth (20th), twenty-fifth (25th), thirtieth (30th), thirty- fifth (35th), fortieth (40th) and forty-fifth (45th) anniversaries of the First Full Basic Rent Payment Date (each such date being hereinafter referred to as the“Expansion Basic Rent Adjustment Date”), Expansion Basic Rent shall be adjusted to reflect increases in the CPI during the most recent five (5) year period immediately preceding each of the foregoing dates. Effective as of a given Expansion Basic Rent Adjustment Date, Expansion Basic Rent payable under this Lease until the next succeeding Expansion Basic Rent Adjustment Date shall be the Expansion Basic Rent in effect after the adjustment provided for as of such Expansion Basic Rent Adjustment Date.

6. Method of Adjustment for CPI Adjustment.
(a) As of each Expansion Basic Rent Adjustment Date when the average CPI determined in clause (i) below exceeds the Beginning CPI (as defined in this Paragraph 6(a)), the Expansion Basic Rent in effect immediately prior to the applicable Expansion Basic Rent Adjustment Date shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the difference between (i) the average CPI for the three (3) most recent calendar months (the“Prior Months”) ending prior to such Expansion Basic Rent Adjustment Date for which the CPI has been published on or before the forty-fifth (45th) day preceding such Expansion Basic Rent Adjustment Date and (ii) the Beginning CPI, and the denominator of which shall be the Beginning CPI. An amount equal to the lesser of (x) the product of such multiplication, or (y) 12% of the Expansion Basic Rent in effect immediately prior to such Expansion Basic Rent Adjustment Date, shall be added to the Expansion Basic Rent in effect immediately prior to such Basic Rent Adjustment Date. As used herein, “Beginning CPI” shall mean the average CPI for the three (3) calendar months corresponding to the Prior Months, but occurring five (5) years earlier. If the average CPI determined in clause (i) is the same or less than the Beginning CPI, the Expansion Basic Rent will be 100% of the Expansion Basic Rent in effect immediately prior to such Expansion Basic Rent Adjustment Date.
(b) Effective as of a given Expansion Basic Rent Adjustment Date, Expansion Basic Rent payable under this Lease until the next succeeding Expansion Basic Rent Adjustment Date shall be the Expansion Basic Rent in effect after the adjustment provided for as of such Expansion Basic Rent Adjustment Date.
(c) Notice of the new annual Expansion Basic Rent shall be delivered to Tenant on or before the tenth (10th) day preceding each Expansion Basic Rent Adjustment Date, but any failure to do so by Landlord shall not be or be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of Landlord’s rights to collect such sums. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten (10) days after a notice of the new annual Expansion Basic Rent is delivered to Tenant, all amounts due from Tenant, but unpaid, because the stated amount as set forth above was not delivered to Tenant at least ten (10) days preceding the Expansion Basic Rent Adjustment Date in question.
