5. Landlord’s Obligations.
(a) Landlord will maintain and repair, at its cost, the Travel Center truck parking areas at which a Unit has been installed in a manner in keeping with the normal parking lot maintenance for such Travel Center. Lessee hereby acknowledges that no maintenance or repair is required by Landlord on the effective date of this Agreement and that Lessee is accepting the Travel Centers in their present, “as-is” condition. Under no circumstances will Landlord be required to reconfigure or re-stripe its existing truck parking areas, unless the parties mutually agree to do so in which event the costs will be borne by Lessee, except as otherwise provided in Section 6(b) below. In connection with the periodic re-paving of the truck parking areas by Landlord, Lessee shall provide Landlord reasonable assistance to allow efficient access for the paving equipment in and around the parking spaces at which the Units are installed.
(b) Landlord will cooperate with Lessee to keep all Travel Center parking areas at which Units will be installed clear such that Lessee may install its Units without interruption and such that professional drivers have, subject to periodic maintenance and acts outside of Landlord’s control, unimpeded access to the Units after installation. Landlord shall cooperate with Lessee to assist Lessee to complete its installation process, but Landlord shall not be required to incur any costs in this regard.
(c) Landlord will allow Lessee to promote, in the parking areas at each Travel Center, the Services listed on Exhibit E in a manner consistent with its promotions for the Services throughout Lessee’s entire network. Further, Landlord will allow placement at Lessee’s cost of one (1) vending machine, one (1) video monitor, POS materials, promotional advertising and video feeds through the video monitor for Lessee’s use in connection with the rental and
- 3 -
promotion of the Units inside each Travel Center with the placement and content to be mutually agreed upon prior to installation. The POS materials, promotional advertising and video feeds shall not promote the Basic Services and Auxiliary Services separate and apart from the core services of in cab heating and air conditioning, in cab AC and in cab shore power and shall be subject to approval by Landlord which will be deemed granted unless Lessee receives within ten (10) days of mailing or faxing of the proposed material(s) to Landlord, written notice from Landlord that Landlord does not approve the use of such material(s). Such written notice shall specify the reason(s) why Landlord does not approve and such failure to approve shall not be based upon the fact that the Service(s) to be promoted compete(s) with a service provided by Landlord.
(d) Landlord will allow, and provide space and servicing for, the retail sale of IdleAire pre-paid debit cards at each Travel Center and will collect all revenues therefor. Lessee will consider working with Landlord’s over-the-counter point of sale activation vendor from time to time to provide for point of sale activation of Lessee’s prepaid cards on such platform. Lessee shall, subject to Landlord’s approval, develop an operations manual describing the retail sales process for use by Landlord’s employees. Lessee shall invoice Landlord on a monthly basis for all revenues owed by Landlord from the sale of the IdleAire pre-paid debit cards within ten (10) days of each calendar month end and Landlord shall provide payment to Lessee for all such revenues within twenty five (25) days of each calendar month end.
(e) Landlord shall allow Lessee to install, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, and in accordance with blue prints and procedures approved in writing by Landlord prior to the commencement of installation, above ground and in the Equipment Area (as defined below), all of the Units, mechanical supporting structures, distribution equipment, cabling and conduit for electrical power, telephone and cable television, centralized servers, routers and other equipment, utility service connections for electrical power, telephone, cable television and internet access, equipment and related items necessary for proper operation of the Units and to provide the Services at the designated truck parking spaces identified on the blue prints approved by Landlord at each respective Travel Center (the “IdleAire System”).
(f) Landlord shall, for the Term of this Agreement (and any renewal term), allow Lessee unimpeded access to the Equipment Area and the truck parking spaces at which the Units are to be installed for purposes of installing, maintaining, monitoring, repairing, replacing and operating the IdleAire System and for the purpose of providing the Services. Lessee agrees to provide advance notice to Landlord’s general manager at each Travel Center of Lessee’s intentions regarding daily activity at the site involving third party contractors or relating to construction or maintenance activities that may impede traffic flow.
(g) Landlord shall allow Lessee (i) to construct and maintain, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, a portable building at a location and with a size and design approved in writing in advance by Landlord in which to install the IdleAire System which may include video monitors and kiosks for prepaid sales attached to the portable building (hereinafter referred to as the “Equipment Area”).
- 4 -
(h) Landlord shall, subject to periodic maintenance and acts outside of Landlord’s control, take no action to discourage, limit or impair utilization of the Units, Services or the IdleAire System. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee acknowledges that the truck parking spaces at the Travel Centers will be available to truck drivers on a first-come, first-served basis and that the truck parking spaces at which the Units have been installed will not be reserved for the exclusive use of truck drivers electing to utilize the IdleAire System and Services. Lessee also hereby acknowledges that Landlord may from time to time charge a fee for truck drivers to park in the parking spaces at certain of the Travel Centers according to terms determined by Landlord and that Landlord shall not be obligated to share any portion of the parking fees with Lessee. In the event Landlord provides customers a credit against the parking fee for dollars spent by the customer at the Travel Center, Landlord agrees to count dollars spent by the customer on Lessee’s Services at the Travel Center during the particular stay. In addition, Lessee acknowledges that Landlord may establish priority or restricted parking spaces in its parking lots from time to time for certain customers as determined by Landlord.
(i) In addition to the Lease Consideration to be paid to Landlord hereunder, Lessee agrees that the greater of [***] of the [***], or [***] of the [***] of any funds received by Lessee with regard to the generation, sale, trading or other use of [***] resulting from the installation of the Equipment on the Truck Parking Areas shall be paid to Landlord by Lessee.
(j) Landlord may during the term of this Agreement acquire or construct additional travel centers not listed onExhibit A. In the event any such travel center is already subject to a lease with Lessee at the time Landlord acquires the travel center, such travel center will become subject to the terms of this Agreement and any prior lease applicable to such location will be void at the time Landlord acquires the travel center. In the event any such travel center is not subject to a lease with Lessee at the time Landlord acquires it, then such location will be automatically added to this Agreement provided that Lessee is in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and completes the installation of the Units at all truck parking spaces at the travel center (1) by the third anniversary of the date of execution of this Agreement for travel centers acquired or constructed by Landlord on or before the second anniversary of the date of execution of this Agreement, or (2) within eighteen months of the date of acquisition or construction for travel centers acquired or constructed by Landlord after the second anniversary of the date of execution of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a newly acquired travel center is subject to pre-existing contractual restrictions on Landlord’s ability to permit Lessee to install or operate the IdleAire System, Lessee’s obligation to install the IdleAire System at such location shall not accrue until the pre-existing contractual restrictions expire or are terminated. In the event Lessee does not complete installation of the Units at all of the truck parking spaces at the travel center within the time periods specified above in this sub-section, then Landlord may remove from this Agreement such travel center.
(k) Landlord may from time to time construct additional structures or add on to existing facilities at the Travel Centers. In the event such construction or additions result in a loss of truck parking spaces at a Travel Center for which Units have been previously installed by
| | |

- 5 -
Lessee, then Landlord shall pay Lessee the actual costs incurred by Lessee in removing the Units and re-installing the Units either at the affected Travel Center or another Travel Center. In lieu of making such payment to Lessee, Landlord may at its option agree to provide Lessee a credit against future Lease Consideration payable to Landlord for the affected Travel Center. The foregoing obligation of the Landlord shall not apply in the event the facility construction or addition by Landlord results from a condemnation or other taking of the Travel Center premises and the parties rights in such circumstances shall be as provided in Section 7(c) below.
6. Lessee’s Obligations.
(a) On or before the [***] of the date of execution of this Agreement, Lessee shall install, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, the Units, the IdleAire System and the Equipment Area (collectively, the “System”) at each Travel Center in a high quality, workmanlike and efficient manner and in accordance with location-specific blue prints and procedures previously approved in writing by Landlord prior to commencement of installation for each location. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during the course of installation at each Travel Center, Lessee shall take all reasonable steps to minimize the disruption to the traffic flow and the availability of parking spaces at each Travel Center and, unless mutually agreed otherwise, no more than five (5) truck parking spaces will be blocked at any one time for the purpose of installing or performing maintenance or repairs on the System. Under no circumstances will the installation result in a net reduction of truck parking spaces at each Travel Center. Subject to Landlord’s written approval of final location blueprints for each installation, Lessee shall install the Units at all build-able truck parking spaces at each Travel Center. Lessee shall complete the installations at Landlord’s Travel Centers on a priority basis over any other installations of the System in the same markets or funding regions as Landlord’s Travel Centers. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, at Travel Centers not currently subject to anti-idling regulations Lessee shall be permitted to install Units in phases at each Travel Center with a minimum number of Units per phase of 50 Units. Landlord may remove from this Agreement any Travel Center at which Lessee has not completed the installation of 50 Units by the third anniversary of the date of execution of this Agreement. Lessee’s obligation to install the System at any of the Travel Centers is subject to: (i) Landlord having ownership or control over such Travel Center at the time Lessee commences installation of the System; (ii) Landlord and Lessee agreeing on the construction methods and materials with respect to the installation of the System at such Travel Center; (iii) completion of satisfactory engineering and environmental surveys at such Travel Center; (iv) confirmation that no part of the System crosses a public right of way adjacent to such Travel Center; (v) receipt from Landlord of all requested maps, blue prints and other relevant information already in the possession of Landlord relating to such Travel Center on a timely basis; (v) receipt by Landlord of consent from its landlord at any Travel Centers leased by Landlord; and (vii) Lessee not being able to complete any such installation because of any of the following: floods, civil unrest, acts of God; war; governmental interference or embargoes; labor strikes; failure of others to supply permits, fuel, power, materials or supplies; transportation delays by third parties; or any other cause (whether or not

Lessee shall immediately cause to be removed any mechanics liens, or other restrictions on Landlord’s title in the Travel Centers, resulting from the installation or existence of the System at the Travel Centers. Lessee shall promptly repair, at its sole cost and expense, any damage to the Travel Center or surrounding property that is caused by Lessee or results from the installation, operation, maintenance or existence of the System at each Travel Center.

Lessee shall provide Landlord prompt written notice of any defects or deficiencies discovered by Lessee during installation. Lessee shall remove any remaining PNV bollards from the entire parking lot at each Travel Center at the time Lessee is first installing the System at a Travel Center. Lessee shall bear the expense of removal of the bollards and surface patching in the vicinity of the parking lot where Units are being installed in such phase. Landlord shall reimburse Lessee its direct out-of-pocket cost of bollard removal and surface patching for those portions of the parking lot where removal is not necessary for the installation of Units in such phase, provided that Lessee shall repay such amounts to Landlord at the time Units are later installed in those portions of the parking lot as required by Section 6(a) above. All bollard removals and surface patching shall be done in accordance with a scope of work approved in advance by Landlord, and Lessee shall obtain Landlord‘s prior written approval of the portion of the cost of bollard removal and surface patching at each location for which Landlord will reimburse Lessee as provided in the immediately preceding sentence. Lessee shall seal and re-stripe the entire parking lot in accordance with blueprints approved in writing in advance by Landlord at each Travel Center at the time Lessee is first installing the System at a Travel Center. Lessee shall bear the expense of sealing and re-striping the parking lot in the vicinity of the parking lot where Units are being installed in such phase. Landlord shall reimburse Lessee its direct out-of-pocket cost of sealing and re-striping for those portions of the parking lot where removal is not necessary for the installation of Units in such phase, provided that Lessee shall repay such amounts to Landlord at the time Units are later installed in those portions of the parking lot as required by Section 6(a) above. All sealing and re-striping shall be done in accordance with a scope of work approved in advance by Landlord, and Lessee shall obtain Landlord‘s prior written approval of the portion of the cost of sealing and re-striping at each location for which Landlord will reimburse Lessee as provided in the immediately preceding sentence.
(c) Lessee shall, at its own cost and expense, on a timely basis secure, and continuously maintain in full force and effect, all licenses, permits and approvals required with respect to the installation, operation and maintenance of the System and the provision of the

Services. Lessee shall at all times comply with all applicable laws, rules, tariffs, regulations, etc. in connection with the installation, operation and maintenance of the System, the provisions of the Services, or otherwise related to the performance of Lessee‘s obligations hereunder.
(d) Lessee shall, at its own cost and expense, maintain and repair the Units, Equipment Area and the System and keep the same in good condition at all times during the term of this Agreement. Lessee shall use all reasonable efforts to keep all of the Units operational twenty-four (24) hours per day, three hundred sixty-five (365) days per year; however, at no time will fewer than eighty percent (80%) of the Units at each Travel Center be fully operational. Lessee shall locate at least one (1) employee at each Travel Center on a twenty-four (24) hours per day, three hundred sixty-five (365) days per year basis to respond to customer service requests. Lessee shall require all of its employees to abide by Landlord’s employee guidelines as they reasonably relate to conduct of Lessee’s employees in a Travel Center while present at a Travel Center.

7. Rights and Duties of the Parties with Respect to the Units and Related Equipment.
(a) Notwithstanding the fact that certain parts of the Units may be affixed to each Travel Center, neither the Units nor such parts of the Units shall become a fixture and the Units shall remain the property of Lessee. Landlord acknowledges that the Units and the Services, and the manner of their operation and installation, are proprietary to Lessee. Accordingly, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to insure that all information and data concerning the Units and the Services shall not be divulged and Landlord shall not use any of such information or data for its own purposes or to compete with Lessee in any manner. Likewise, Lessee shall use reasonable efforts to insure that all information and data concerning Landlord or Landlord‘s operations at the Travel Centers shall not be divulged and Lessee shall not use any of such information or data for its own purposes or to compete with Landlord in any manner.
(b) Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, Lessee shall have the right and obligation to, within 120 days of the date of expiration or termination: (i) remove, at its sole cost and expense, the System and related equipment from each Travel Center; or (ii) at Landlord’s sole option, sell or lease it to the Landlord or its successors, nominees or assigns together with a license to any technology or software needed to operate the System. After removal, Lessee shall restore each Travel Center as near as reasonably possible to the condition of such Premises prior to the installation of the System, normal wear and tear excepted, but shall not be obligated or permitted to remove any underground cable, conduit, wiring or subsurface concrete foundations. Lessee shall be obligated to remove any above surface concrete or improvements and repair the parking lot so that it is a smooth, flush surface. Lessee shall bear all costs of removal or vacation of any easements created for the installation or operation of the System upon terms acceptable to Landlord. Any components of the System or other equipment or improvement not removed within 120 days of the date of expiration or termination may be treated as abandoned by Landlord and Landlord may either keep such equipment or improvement or have such equipment or improvement removed at Lessee’s expense.
(c) In the event of the condemnation or other taking, in whole or in part, of the Premises under the power of eminent domain or otherwise, the condemnation award paid to the Landlord, or the payment received by the Landlord in exchange for its voluntary conveyance in lieu of condemnation, shall belong solely to the Landlord, and Lessee shall not, by virtue of this Agreement, be entitled to any part thereof;provided,however, that nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Lessee from prosecuting any claim directly against the condemning authority for loss of business, or depreciation to, damage to, or cost of, removal of, or for the value of personal property of Lessee; andfurtherprovided,however, that no such claim shall diminish or otherwise adversely affect the Landlord’s award or proceeds.
(d) Lessee agrees that it will deposit into an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) in the manner hereinafter provided $250 for each Unit installed at each Travel Center, as hereinafter provided, during the period commencing with the date of this Agreement and will
- 9 -
continue until such time that the total amount deposited into the Escrow Account equals $2,000,000 (excluding any interest earned). The Escrow Account will be funded out of gross revenues at the Travel Center where each Unit is installed at the rate of $10 per month, per Unit (gross revenues permitting), commencing on the date of this Agreement for locations already installed and on the date Lease Consideration becomes payable to Landlord under Section 3 of this Agreement for all other locations, and continuing until $250 per installed unit has been escrowed, or until the total of the Escrow Account, exclusive of interest, equals $2,000,000. The amounts deposited by Lessee into the Escrow Account shall not count as an expense for purposes of determining Lease Consideration under Exhibit B to this Agreement. Each month in which Lessee is obligated to make escrow deposits hereunder, Lessee shall provide Landlord a written report reflecting the amounts deposited with the Escrow Agent during the preceding month. This report shall be given no later than the date Lessee’s monthly report of revenues and expenses is due under Section 3 of this Agreement. Landlord shall further be entitled to receive from the Escrow Agent a duplicate copy of the monthly statement rendered to Lessee in connection with the Escrow Account. The Escrow Account shall be established with and held by National City Bank, or another financial institution mutually agreeable to the parties (the “Escrow Agent’’), pursuant to an Escrow Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto (the “Escrow Agreement"). All interest earned on or appreciation in the value of the Escrow Account shall remain in the Escrow Account and shall accrue for the benefit of, and be payable to, Lessee or Landlord in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. All fees and expenses charged by the Escrow Agent shall be paid out of the gross revenues at each Travel Center in proportion to the amounts deposited into escrow with respect to that Travel Center and will be deducted as an expense for purposes of determining Lease Consideration under Exhibit B to this Agreement. Subject to the remaining provisions of this Section, Landlord and Lessee agree that the total amount placed in the Escrow Account shall be payable to Lessee following termination of the Lease Agreement as provided in the Escrow Agreement unless Landlord has made a valid claim against the Escrow Account as set forth in the Escrow Agreement. To initiate disbursement by the Escrow Agent, Lessee or Landlord shall serve a Disbursement Instruction to Escrow Agent as described in Section 4(b) of the Escrow Agreement. If Escrow Agent has not received an objection to the Disbursement Instruction within 15 calendar days of Escrow Agent providing notice to the parties of the receipt of the Disbursement Instruction, Escrow Agent shall disburse so much of the principal amount of the Escrow Fund as is requested in the Disbursement Instruction, with the remainder of the principal amount, together with all accrued interest and appreciation thereon, to be distributed to Lessee. Any disbursement withheld by the Escrow Agent pursuant to an objection shall be disbursed by Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 4 of the Escrow Agreement. When Escrow Agent has disbursed the Escrow Fund in full, the Escrow Agreement shall terminate and the Escrow Agent shall be discharged. Landlord agrees that Lessee may at any time substitute other collateral of equivalent security, if acceptable to Landlord, for some or all of the Escrow Account. Lessee’s failure to make a deposit into escrow as to any Travel Center shall be treated as a default or breach by Lessee in the payment of Lease Consideration to Landlord as to that Travel Center, entitling Landlord to the relief set forth this Agreement, including, without limitation, the right to terminate this Agreement as provided herein. The existence of the Escrow Account shall not in any way diminish Lessee’s obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 7(b) above.

Each party hereto waives any and every claim which may arise in its favor against the other party hereto during the term of this Agreement, or any renewal or extension hereof, for any and all loss of, or damage to, any of its property located without or upon or constituting a part of the Premises leased hereunder, if such loss or damage is covered by valid and collectible fire and extended coverage insurance policies, and only to the extent that such loss or damage is recoverable under said insurance policies. Said mutual waivers shall be in addition to, and not in limitation or derogation of, any other waiver or release contained in this Agreement with respect to any loss of, or damage to, property of the parties hereto. Inasmuch as the above mutual waivers will preclude the assignment of any claim described above by way of subrogation (or otherwise) to an insurance company (or any other person), each party hereto agrees immediately to give to each insurance company which has issued to it policies of fire and extended coverage insurance written notice of the terms of said mutual waivers and to have said insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of said insurance coverage by reason of said waivers.
11. Indemnity. Lessee shall bear the risk of loss and hereby indemnifies and holds harmless Landlord for (i) damage to or destruction of any property, including with out limitation, damage to the Travel Center, the Units, the Equipment Area and the System, arising from the existence, installation, operation, utilization or repair of, or otherwise in any way related to, the Units, the Equipment Area, the Services and the System, except to the extent such damage is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its employees, contractors or agents, and (ii) injury to, or death of, any person arising from the existence, installation, operation, utilization or repair of, or otherwise in any way related to, the Units, the Equipment Area, the Services and the System, except to the extent such damage is occasioned by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees, contractors, or agents. The foregoing indemnity obligations of Lessee shall include reasonable attorneys’ fees, investigation costs and all
- 12 -
other costs and expenses incurred by Landlord from the first notice that any claim or demand has been made or may be made. The provisions of this Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
12. Insurance. Both Landlord and Lessee shall maintain during the Term of this Agreement (or any renewal term), at their sole cost and expense, commercial general liability insurance in the minimum amount of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) plus an umbrella policy providing total coverage of at least $5,000,000 against any claims arising out of its own respective negligence and any liabilities arising out of its respective products and/or services, shall ensure that each party is named as an additional insured in respect of such insurance or is otherwise covered as its interest may appear. Each party hereto shall provide to the other party a certificate of insurance evidencing insurance coverage in compliance with this Section 12. Lessee and Landlord shall review the amount and terms of insurance coverage on an annual basis and make such adjustments as may be reasonably necessary based upon the prior years’ claims experience and other factors affecting the appropriate level of coverage.
13. Force Majeure. Neither party shall have any liability for the failure to perform or a delay in performing any of its obligations if such failure or delay is the result of any legal restriction, labor dispute, strike, boycott (other than labor disputes, strikes or boycott’s directly involving a party’s employees), flood, fire, public emergency, revolution, insurrection, riot, was, unavoidable mechanical failure, interruption in the supply of electrical power or any other cause beyond the control of any party acting in a reasonable business-like manner, whether similar or dissimilar to the causes enumerated above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event either party is unable to perform as a result of one of the above-described circumstances for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days, the other party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to the affected Travel Center(s).
14. Assignment/Subordination/Estoppel.
(a) Landlord may sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of its interest in one or more of the Travel Centers (through a change of control or otherwise) (collectively, a “Disposal”) provided that in the event of a Disposal of all of the Travel Centers the acquiror of such interest or assets shall assume the Landlord’s rights and obligations hereunder and shall be bound by the Terms of this Agreement, in which case Lessee shall recognize the acquiror of such Travel Centers as its Landlord for the purposes of this Agreement. In the event of a Disposal of less than all of the Travel Centers, Landlord and Lessee shall take all reasonable steps to cause the acquiror of such Travel Center(s) to enter into a separate agreement with Lessee with respect to such Travel Center(s) on the same terms as contained in this Agreement pertaining to such Travel Center(s) for the then remaining term of this Agreement. In the event the acquiror of such Travel Center(s) is unwilling to enter into such separate agreement, Landlord may terminate this Agreement with respect to such Travel Center (1) without penalty or cost for the first two (2) Travel Centers terminated pursuant to this Section 14(a), or (2) by, at Landlord’s option, paying Lessee (i) the actual costs of relocating and installing the Units at an alternative location, or (ii) the unamortized portion of Lessee’s actual costs incurred in installing the System at such Travel
- 13 -
Center, amortized on a straight line basis over ten (10) years, for any Travel Centers in excess of two (2) terminated pursuant to this Section 14(a).
(b) Lessee may pledge its interest in this Agreement to any party, including, without limitation, to any bank, recognized lending or leasing institution or investor as collateral. Lessee may sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of its interest in this Agreement, provided that the acquiror of such interest is not the owner or operator of one or more truck stops or travel centers and provided further that said acquiror shall assume all of Lessee’s rights and obligations hereunder and shall be bound by the termsofthis Agreement. No such sale, assignment, transfer or other disposal shall relieve Lessee of its obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Landlord.
(c) This Agreement shall be subordinate to each and every underlying lease, deed of trust or mortgage encumbering the Premises or any portion thereof, whether now existing or in the future, and to any advances made on the security thereof and to any renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements or extensions thereof, whenever made or recorded. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a non-disturbance agreement from all current and future holders of mortgages or deeds of trust affecting the Premises (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Mortgagees”); provided, however, that Landlord shall not be required to pay any sum demanded by any Mortgagee consideration for any such non-disturbance agreement. If any ground lessor, beneficiary or mortgagee elects to have this Agreement prior to the lien of its ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage and gives written notice thereof to Lessee, this Agreement shall automatically be deemed prior to such ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage whether this Agreement is dated prior or subsequent to the date of said ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage or the date of recording thereof. Lessee shall sign and deliver any instrument or documents necessary or appropriate to evidence any attornment or subordination or agreement to do so. If Lessee fails to do so within twenty (20) days after written request, Lessee hereby makes, constitutes and irrevocably appoints Landlord, or any transferee or successor of Landlord, the attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, of Lessee to execute and deliver any such instrument or document.
(d) Lessee shall from time to time, within ten (10) days after being requested to do so by Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord (or, at the Landlord’s request, to any existing or prospective purchaser, transferee, assignee or mortgagee of any or all of the Leased Premises, any interest therein or any of the Landlord‘s rights under this Agreement) an instrument in recordable form certifying (i) that this Agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there has been any modification thereof, that it is in full force and effect as so modified, stating therein the nature of such modification); (ii) as to the amount of any prepaid rent or any credit due to Lessee hereunder; (iii) as to whether, to the best knowledge, information and belief of the signer of such certificate, Landlord or Lessee is then in default in performing any of its obligations under this Agreement (and, if so, specifying the nature of each such default); and (iv) as to any other fact or condition reasonably requested by Landlord or such other addressee.
- 14 -
15. Ownership and Confidentiality. Landlord recognizes and agrees that Lessee shall, during the Term of this Agreement and thereafter, retain sole ownership of the System. Landlord recognizes the proprietary nature of the concept and the design of the System and Lessee recognized the proprietary nature of certain information regarding Landlord’s business and locations. Accordingly, Landlord and Lessee agree to maintain, and cause each of its employees and agents to maintain, and keep strictly confidential all confidential information of the other party, including, without limitation, the terms of this Agreement, that it obtains or receives in conjunction with the installation and operation of the System under this Agreement. Landlord further agrees that the “IdleAire” name and logo shall be and remain the property of Lessee and all references by Landlord to the Units or the Services shall incorporate and/or refer to Lessee by its full name (“IdleAire”), whether in literature, electronic or print displays, articles, advertising, billboards, banners or otherwise. The name “IdleAire” is, or will be, a registered service mark of Lessee and, to the extent required by Lessee, Landlord shall execute a no cost limited license agreement for the use of such service mark. Except for the use of Landlord’s name or trademarks in press releases approved by Landlord pursuant to Section 21, nothing in this Agreement shall grant to Lessee any rights to Landlord‘s name, logos, trademarks or service marks.
16. No Estate in Land. This Agreement shall create the relationship of Landlord and Lessee between the parties hereto; no estate shall pass out of Landlord. Lessee has only a usufruct, not subject to levy and sale, and not assignable by Lessee except as provided in Section 14 hereof.
17. Holding Over. If Lessee remains in possession of the Premises after expiration of the Term, with Landlord‘s acquiescence and without any express agreement of the parties, Lessee shall be a tenant under a month-to-month tenancy at the same Lease Consideration in effect at the end of this Agreement (and subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement except as modified by this Section 17), and there shall be no renewal of this Agreement by operation of law.
18. Defaults. In the event either party hereto shall breach or otherwise become in default of any of its obligations hereunder, then:
(a) The non-defaulting party shall be entitled to have and recover all of its damages and losses arising out of such default from the defaulting party; and
(b) The non-defaulting party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon notice of intent to terminate being given to the defaulting party unless the defaulting party cures such default and pays to the non-defaulting party all losses and damages incurred by the non-defaulting party within a period of thirty (30) days following notice of default having been given to the defaulting party by the non-defaulting party (except for payment defaults which must be cured within fifteen (15) days following notice of default). In addition to the foregoing, in the event Lessee fails to pay the Lease Consideration within twenty five (25) days of the end of each calendar month as provided in Section 3(b) on two (2) or more occasions in any twelve (12) month period, Landlord shall have the unrestricted right to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice of termination to Lessee.
- 15 -
19. Franchise Locations. In addition to the Travel Centers identified onExhibit A, as of the date of this Agreement twenty-three (23) additional travel centers as listed onExhibit D are operated by independent franchisees of TA Franchise Systems Inc., an affiliate of Landlord (“Franchise Locations”). During the thirty-six (36) month period following the execution date of this Agreement, Lessee shall install the IdleAire System at all Franchise Locations who elect to enter into a lease agreement with Lessee. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to encourage all Franchise Locations to enter into lease agreements with Lessee, however Lessee acknowledges that Landlord cannot guarantee that all Franchise Locations will elect to enter into a lease agreement. Lessee hereby acknowledges that the Franchise Locations are operated by independent third parties and Landlord is not responsible for the acts or omissions of the operators of the Franchise Locations. Lessee will offer lease terms substantially similar to the terms of this Agreement, as approved in advance by Landlord, to each Franchise Location. In the event Landlord’s affiliates enter into franchise relationships with additional travel centers not listed onExhibit D during the term of this Agreement, Lessee shall similarly offer to enter into lease agreements with such additional Franchise Locations and install the IdleAire System at such additional Franchise Locations (1) by the third anniversary of the date of execution of this Agreement for additional Franchise Locations added on or before the second anniversary of the date of execution of this Agreement, or (2) within eighteen months of the date such additional Franchise Location becomes a franchise for Franchise Locations added after the second anniversary of the date of execution of this Agreement. In the event a Franchise Location at which the System has been installed becomes a Landlord company-operated location during the term of this Agreement, the converted location will become subject to the terms of this Agreement and the prior lease applicable to such location will be void at the time Landlord begins operating the travel center.
20. Rights Cumulative. All rights, powers and privileges conferred hereunder upon either party hereto shall be cumulative but not restrictive to those given at law or in equity.
21. Press Releases. Lessee and Landlord shall consult with each other as to the form and content of all press releases and other public disclosures of matters relating to this Agreement. Nothing in this section shall prohibit Lessee or Landlord from making any disclosure, which its legal counsel deems necessary or advisable to fulfill such party’s disclosure obligations under applicable law. All public disclosures shall be transmitted by telecopier to the other party or its counsel for approval prior to publication or dissemination.
22.Notices.
(a) Any notice, election, or other communication required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be either: (i) sent by same-day or overnight courier service, or (ii) sent by certified or registered United States mail, return receipt requested, postage and charges prepaid, to the following address:

24. Severability. If any part or sub-part of this Agreement is found or held to be invalid, that invalidity shall not affect the enforceability and binding nature of any other part of this Agreement.
25. Favored Nations. Lessee agrees that during the Term of this Agreement Lessee and its Affiliates shall enter into no contractual arrangement with any other travel center or truck stop with up front payments, Lease Consideration or any other economic consideration paid to, or otherwise received by, any other travel center or truck stop more favorable than those provided to Landlord hereunder, without also making such offer available to Landlord. In addition, in the event Lessee or its Affiliates enter into an arrangement with any other travel center or truck stop providing for gross receipts percentages payable to the travel center/truck stop operator greater than 15%, then the gross receipts percentages payable to Landlord pursuant toExhibit B shall be increased so that Landlord’s gross receipts percentages are 2% higher than the gross receipts percentages payable by Lessee or its Affiliates to all other travel center/truck stop operators.
26. Headings. The section headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not enlarge or limit the scope or meaning of the various and several sections hereof. Words in the singular number shall be held to include the plural, unless the context otherwise requires.

Lessee’s officers and employees shall cooperate with and facilitate Landlord‘s inspection and audit. Any such inspection or audit shall be solely at Landlord’s expense.
30. Arbitration. Any controversy, dispute or question arising out of, or in connection with, or in relation to this Agreement or the interpretation, performance or non-performance or any breach thereof shall be determined by arbitration conducted in Atlanta, GA in accordance with the then existing rules of the American Arbitration Association. Lessee and Landlord shall each select one arbitrator, and the two arbitrators shall select a third with the same qualifications. Any decision rendered shall be binding upon the Parties, however, the arbitrators shall have no authority to grant any relief that is inconsistent with this Agreement.
