Lessee may discontinue a Tax Challenge at any time. If Lessee files or prosecutes a Tax Challenge, Lessor and its Affiliates shall cooperate and furnish any pertinent information needed for the Tax Challenge, at no cost or expense to Lessor other than any de minimus cost or expense. Lessee shall be entitled to be reimbursed out of the award for the reasonable costs and expenses occurred in connection with a Tax Challenge. Lessor shall not have the right to file a Tax Challenge with respect to any Taxes accruing during the Term unless the taxing authority requires the Tax Challenge to be filed by Lessor and Lessee requests Lessor to do so. Lessor shall immediately provide Lessee with a copy of any notices or demands from any Governmental Authority or other Persons which concerns Taxes. Upon request of Lessor at any time or from time-to-time, Lessee shall provide a written report to Lessor regarding the status of any such Tax Challenge.
In no event shall the manner in which Lessee pursues any Tax Challenge exacerbate in any respect the risk to Lessor of civil or criminal liability, penalty or sanction, in addition to such risks as may exist for the matters that are the subject of the Tax Challenge prior to such Tax Challenge, and except for
18
liabilities, penalties or sanctions for which Lessee may, and in fact does, post a bond. Further, the manner in which Lessee pursues a Tax Challenge shall not exacerbate in any respect the risk to Lessor of defeasance of its interest in the Leased Property in addition to the risk of such defeasance as may exist for the matters that are the subject of the Tax Challenge prior to such Tax Challenge and except for such risk which Lessee may, and in fact does, bond around. Lessee agrees that Lessee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to diligently prosecute any such Tax Challenge to a final conclusion, except that Lessee shall have the right to attempt to settle or compromise such contest through negotiations and to discontinue any such Tax Challenge at any time. Lessee shall promptly after the final determination of such Tax Challenge, fully pay and discharge the amounts which shall be levied, assessed, charged or imposed or be determined to be payable therein or in connection therewith, together with all penalties, fines, interest, costs and expenses thereof or in connection therewith, and perform all acts the performance of which shall be ordered or decreed as a result thereof.

Lessee waives any right to (i) require Lessor to maintain, repair, replace or rebuild all or any part of the Leased Property or (ii) make repairs at the expense of Lessor pursuant to any Applicable Legal Requirements at any time in effect.

7.2 No Trespass. Lessor authorizes Lessee to enforce any no trespass actions regarding any Real Property and to initiate any proceedings to remove any third parties from the Land which Lessee, in Lessee’s reasonable business judgment, deems necessary or appropriate for Lessee’s continued quiet enjoyment of the Leased Property. Lessee shall give Lessor notice when exercising rights under this Section 7.2.
ARTICLE VIII.
UTILITIES
8.1 Payment of Utility Charges. Lessee shall contract for, in its own name, and pay when due, all charges for the connection and use of water, gas, electricity, and other utility services, if any, supplied to the Leased Property during the Term. Under no circumstances shall Lessor be responsible for any interruption of any such utility service unless caused by the gross negligence or willful acts or omissions of Lessor. If utilities serving the Leased Property are so disrupted on account of the gross negligence, or willful act or omission of Lessor, Lessor shall promptly restore the utilities at Lessor’s sole cost and expense. The term “negligence” as used in this Section 8.1 shall not include negligence imputed as a matter of law to Lessor solely by reason of Lessor’s failure to act in respect of matters which are or were the obligation of Lessee under this Lease or solely as a result of Lessor’s ownership of the Leased Property.
ARTICLE IX.
USE
9.1 Lessee Use. The Leased Property may be used for any use permitted by Applicable Legal Requirements, but subject to the restrictions in that certain Equitable Servitude and Easement dated

ARTICLE X.
PERMITTED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS, PARTS
10.1 Permitted Capital Improvements.
(a) Permitted Capital Improvements. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Lease, Lessee, at its own expense and without Lessor’s approval, shall have the right, at any time and from time-to-time as Lessee deems necessary or desirable, to make Permitted Capital Improvements. Any Lien created by the financing of any such improvements that are Non-Removable Additions shall be subordinated to any Lessor Lender Lien.
(b) End of Term Ownership. If Lessee proposes to construct Permitted Capital Improvements that are not readily removable or cannot be detached from the Terminal System without adversely affecting the structural integrity or functionality of the Terminal System (each, a “Non-Removable Addition”), Lessee shall provide Lessor written notice thereof. If Lessee proposes to construct Permitted Capital Improvements that are not Non-Removable Additions (each, a “Removable Addition”), Lessee shall provide Lessor written notice thereof. At the end of the Term, (i) all Non-Removable Additions will become the property of Lessor without compensation or reimbursement to Lessee, and (ii) all Removable Additions may be removed by Lessee from the Terminal System unless otherwise agreed by Lessor in writing, and Lessee shall repair any damage to the Leased Property caused by such removal. The transfer of all such property to Lessor at the end of the Term (A) shall, subject to Section 18.1, be made on an AS IS WHERE IS basis, without any express or implied warranties from Lessee other than special warranties of title (except as otherwise expressly agreed between the parties at the time of such transfer), provided, however, that such conveyance shall in any event be made by Lessee to Lessor free and clear of (I) any Liens placed on the Leased Property by, through or under Lessee, and (II) any Other Recorded Documents executed by, through or under Lessee in violation of this Lease, and (B) shall be evidenced by Lessee’s execution of such deeds, bills of sale, or other appropriate documents conveying title to such property as Lessor and Lessee may reasonably agree, consistent with subsection (A) of this sentence.
20
10.2 Replacement of Parts. Lessee may, at its own cost and expense, remove in the ordinary course of maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing, or as otherwise required or permitted by this Lease, any Parts, whether or not worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for use. Lessee will, at its own cost and expense, replace any such Parts as is necessary to maintain the Leased Property in accordance with the standards for Lessee’s maintenance obligations as set forth in Section 7.1 of this Lease. All replacement Parts shall be in as good operating condition as, and shall have a value (including the residual value), utility and remaining useful life at least equal to the Parts replaced, assuming such replaced Parts were in condition and repair required to be maintained by, and otherwise in compliance with, the terms of this Lease (nothing in this Lease, however, shall be construed to require Lessee to replace any Parts having a useful life adequate to operate the Leased Property through the end of the Term). All Parts at any time removed from any item or portion of the Leased Property shall remain the property of Lessor until such time as such Parts shall be replaced by Parts which have been incorporated or installed in or attached to such item or portion of the Leased Property and which meet the requirements for replacement Parts specified above. Immediately upon any replacement Part becoming incorporated into or installed in or attached to any item or portion of the Leased Property, without further act (except in the case of replacement property temporarily installed on an emergency basis), (a) title to such replacement Part shall thereupon vest in Lessor, (b) such replacement Part shall become subject to this Lease and be deemed part of the Leased Property for all purposes to the same extent as the Parts originally incorporated or installed in or attached to the Leased Property, and (c) title to the removed Part shall thereupon vest in Lessee AS IS WHERE IS, free and clear of all rights of Lessor, and shall no longer be deemed a part of the Leased Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Parts” means all appliances, parts, instruments, appurtenances, accessories, furnishings, spare parts, and other equipment and property of whatever nature which constitute a portion of the Improvements or Personal Property and any replacements or substitutions therefor made under this Section 10.2. “Parts” shall not in any event include (i) any Lessee Property, (ii) removed Parts as provided in subsection (c), above, or (iii) any Permitted Capital Improvements and Additional Lines, which Permitted Capital Improvements and Additional Lines shall be governed by Section 10.1, above. Title to replacements and substitutions for Parts made under this Section 10.2 shall remain a portion of the Leased Property.
10.3 Lessor Capital Improvements Construction. Lessee agrees that Lessor shall have the exclusive right to, and Lessor has agreed to, construct and pay for the Project Improvements in accordance with the Project Management Agreement. Lessor and Lessee agree that total Project Costs are estimated to be Ten Million dollars ($10 million) (“Base Cost”), and that the target completion date of such construction is July 1, 2014.
By no later than the 21st day of July 2014, Lessor will provide Lessee with written notice of Project Costs incurred by Lessor for the Project Improvements. Beginning the month of August 2014 and for each month thereafter during the Term, monthly Minimum Rent will increase by one-twelfth of 11.5% of the Project Costs set forth in such notice. If additional Project Costs are incurred by Lessor for the Project Improvements, Lessor will provide Lessee with written notice of such costs by no later than the 21st day of any month, and beginning the next month and for each month thereafter during the Term, monthly Minimum Rent will increase by one-twelfth of 11.5% of the costs set forth in such notice. However, the total amount of Project Costs set forth in all such notices provided under this Section 10.3 shall not exceed the Base Cost, and therefore the total increase in monthly Minimum Rent shall not exceed $95,833 [i.e., ($10 million * 11.5%) / 12].
For the avoidance of doubt, Lessor and Lessee agree that Lessor shall be the owner of, and Lessee shall be the Lessee of, the Project Improvements, which shall be part and parcel of the Terminal System.

REGULATORY ISSUES
11.1 Lessee’s Rights. Except (i) as provided in Section 11.2, below, and (ii) to the extent Lessor is required to engage in such communications by Applicable Legal Requirements which are not the subject of a Permitted Lessee Contest and after consultation with Lessee regarding Lessor’s concern that Lessor’s communication with Governmental Authorities is required by Applicable Legal Requirements, but notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary:
(a) Leased Property. Lessee shall have the right and obligation to (I) deal with all Governmental Authorities, and (II) conduct all regulatory proceedings, governing or affecting the Leased Property or the ownership, use or operation thereof.

At Lessee’s request, Lessor shall execute all such documents and take all such action as may be necessary to ensure and/or evidence Lessee’s rights under this Section 11.1 unless, in Lessor’s reasonable and good faith judgment, such documents or actions will directly result in payments required to be made by Lessor which Lessee is unwilling to pay on behalf of Lessor and, upon such determination by Lessor and prior to taking any such action, Lessor shall promptly notify Lessee in writing of such determination by Lessor, and Lessor and Lessee shall work diligently and in good faith to resolve their differences with respect to the requested action or document(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor shall in any event be required to execute such documents and take all such actions as may be required for Lessee to pursue a Tax Challenge or a Permitted Lessee Contest.
11.2 Lessor’s Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 11.1, but subject in any event to Lessee’s right to pursue Tax Challenges and Permitted Lessee Contests, if Lessor determines, in Lessor’s reasonable judgment, that Lessee has not taken sufficient action to protect the interests of Lessor in regard to any such regulatory matter (including, without limitation, regulatory proceedings) with respect to the Leased Property, upon prior written notice to Lessee, Lessor may take such action as may be necessary in order for Lessor to be and remain in compliance with Applicable Legal Requirements as they relate to Lessor and the Leased Property. Lessor shall promptly provide Lessee with a copy of any notices or demands received by Lessor from any Governmental Authority which concerns any Applicable Legal Requirement.
11.3 No Application to Condemnation. Lessor and Lessee acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this Article XI shall not prohibit Lessor from cooperating in condemnation proceedings as required by Article XVI.
ARTICLE XII.
MECHANIC’S LIENS
12.1 Lessee’s Obligations. If any mechanic’s, materialmen’s or other Liens against any of the Lessor’s interest in the Leased Property in connection with any materials, labor or equipment furnished or claimed to have been furnished to or for any Lessee Party are filed against Lessor’s interests in the Leased Property on account of action or inaction by any Lessee Party (including by Lessee in its capacity as Lessor’s construction agent for Removable Additions or Non-Removable Additions under Article X, other than any such Liens filed as a result of materials, labor or services for Removable Additions or Non-Removable Additions and for which Lessor has failed to pay the cost of such materials,
22
labor or services), then Lessee shall promptly cause such Lien to be discharged (whether by payment or bond), or, if Lessee desires to contest the Lien, Lessee may do so as long as the enforcement of the Lien is stayed pursuant to a Permitted Lessee Contest, and (b) if a Lessor Lender requires Lessor’s interest in the Leased Property to be free of such mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens, then upon request of Lessor or such Lessor Lender, Lessee shall either discharge the Lien or post a bond sufficient to cover the amount of the Lien and interest, penalties and costs that will be payable to discharge the Lien assuming its validity.
12.2 Lessor’s Obligations. Lessor shall not permit any mechanic’s, materialmen’s or other Liens against any Leased Property in connection with any materials, labor or equipment furnished, or claimed to have been furnished, to or for Lessor, and if any such Liens shall be filed against any Leased Property on account of any action or inaction by Lessor (other than any action or inaction alleged against Lessor resulting from the failure of Lessee to perform its obligations hereunder), Lessor shall cause the Lien to be discharged, provided that if Lessor desires to contest any such Lien (whether by payment or bond), it may do so as long as enforcement of the Lien is stayed pursuant to a Permitted Lessor Contest.
ARTICLE XIII.
LESSEE PROPERTY
13.1 No Lien. Lessee is and shall remain the owner of the Lessee Property, other than Non-Removable Additions at the end of the Term as provided in Section 10.1(e). Lessor shall not have any Lien on any of the Lessee Property for the performance of Lessee’s obligations under this Lease or otherwise. LESSOR WAIVES AND DISCLAIMS ALL STATUTORY AND CONTRACTUAL LIEN RIGHTS IN LESSEE PROPERTY NOW OR HEREAFTER PLACED AT OR WITH THE LEASED PROPERTY. Lessor agrees to execute an agreement with Lessee or Lessee’s lender to evidence such waiver of Lessor’s Lien rights in Lessee Property and, following a default by Lessee under any Lessee mortgage, allow Lessee’s lender access to the Leased Property to seize and remove Lessee Property subject to the terms of such agreement, provided that the form and substance of any such agreement is reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, Lessee and Lessee’s lender (including in such agreement reasonable conditions and time periods within which such Lessee Property may be removed). Lessee shall have the right to remove Lessee Property at any time or times during the Term and for a period of thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Term, without any obligation to pay Lessor holdover rent under Section 26.4.
13.2 Sole Risk of Lessee. All of Lessee Property is at Lessee’s sole risk and if any of the Lessee Property is destroyed or damaged other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of a Lessor Party, no part of the destruction or damage shall be the responsibility of Lessor. If the damage is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of a Lessor Party, Lessor shall be responsible for any damage or destruction, subject, however, to the waiver of subrogation provisions of Section 14.4. The term “negligence” as used in this Section 13.2 shall not include negligence imputed as a matter of law to Lessor solely by reason of Lessor’s failure to act in respect of matters which are or were the obligation of Lessee under this Lease or solely as a result of Lessor’s ownership of the Leased Property.
13.3 Lessee’s Ability to Grant Liens on Lessee Property and Lessee’s Interest in Lease. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed to limit or otherwise restrict Lessee’s ability to grant a Lien on Lessee Property or Lessee’s interest in this Lease, in any such case to a lender not Affiliated with Lessee for the purpose of securing indebtedness of Lessee or its Affiliates to such lender. Lessor acknowledges and agrees, following a default by Lessee under any Lessee mortgage, to allow Lessee’s lender access to the Leased Property to seize and remove all or any of the Lessee Property and Lessor agrees to execute an agreement with Lessee’s lender to evidence such right as provided in Section 13.1.

All insurance policies required to be maintained pursuant to the terms of this Lease (other than the Worker’s Compensation Insurance), shall be endorsed to name Lessor and its successors and assigns as additional named insureds and to provide that such insurance shall be primary over any insurance that may be maintained by Lessor, and, except during the Term (when all insurance proceeds are delivered and paid to Lessee, as loss payee).

25
respect to loss or damage occurring during such time as the respective party’s policies of property insurance shall contain a clause to the effect that this release shall not affect such policies or right of the releasing party to recover thereunder, and the release shall apply only to the extent of the releasing party’s insurance coverage, provided that, with respect to Lessee’s release of Lessor hereunder.

14.5 No Release from Liability. Except as provided in Section 14.4, nothing in this Article XIV shall be deemed to release either party from liability for damages resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of such party or from responsibility for repairs necessitated by such negligence or willful misconduct. By requiring insurance as provided herein, neither Lessor nor Lessee represents that coverage and limits will necessarily be adequate to protect Lessee or Lessor, and such coverage and limits shall not be deemed as a limitation of the liability of Lessee or Lessor under any indemnification provisions in this Lease. Failure of Lessor to demand such certificate or other evidence of full compliance with these insurance requirements or failure of Lessor to identify a deficiency from evidence that is provided shall not be construed as a waiver of Lessee’s obligation to maintain such insurance.

Lessee shall not enter into any Sublease other than a Permitted Sublease, and any Sublease other than a Permitted Sublease shall be null and void ab initio. Renewals of any Permitted Sublease shall be deemed to be a new Sublease for purposes of this Section 17.1(b) and shall not constitute a Permitted Sublease unless such renewal otherwise qualifies as a Permitted Sublease at the time of such renewal.
(c) Lessor Consent to Certain Proposed Permitted Lessee Transferees.

28
shall not declare a Lessee Event of Default or exercise any rights or remedies on account of such Lessee Event of Default unless and until Lessor gives notice of such default to such prior Lessee(s) and their respective Lessee Guarantors and the opportunity to cure such default, within the period of time permitted under Section 23.1 of this Lease for curing such event or circumstance, but with such cure period as to such prior Lessee and such prior Lessee Guarantors beginning only upon receipt by such prior Lessee(s) or its Lessee Guarantors, as applicable, of such notice.

18.1 Surrender. Upon the expiration of the Term or the earlier termination of this Lease, Lessee shall surrender to Lessor in Good Condition and Repair the Leased Property and any Permitted Capital Improvements that become Lessor’s property upon termination of this Lease as provided in Section 10.1(e) hereof, in all such cases subject to reasonable and ordinary wear and tear.

ARTICLE XX.
LEASE SUBORDINATION
20.1 No Subordination of Lessor’s Fee Simple Estate; Fee Mortgages. Lessor shall not be required to subordinate its interest and estate in the Leased Property to any Leasehold Mortgage, or enter into or join in the execution of any Leasehold Mortgage, but Lessor shall provide Leasehold Mortgagees the protections described in this Article XX. Lessor is entitled to encumber, from time to time, without the consent or approval of Lessee, its interest in the Land and Lessor’s interest in this Lease with such Mortgages as Lessor, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate (any such Mortgage by Lessor being hereinafter referred to as a “Fee Mortgage”); provided, however, that any Fee Mortgage shall be subject to this Lease, the rights of Lessee hereunder, the attornment of any successor Lessee to Lessor, and the rights of any Leasehold Mortgagee arising under or by virtue of this Lease (whether the Leasehold Mortgage was created before or after the Fee Mortgage), including the right, title and estate of any Leasehold Mortgagee under any new lease entered into pursuant to Section 20.3. Lessee shall have the right to request and, Lessor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, a non-disturbance
29
agreement from the holder of such Fee Mortgage, in favor of Lessee and any Leasehold Mortgagee, confirming that the provisions of this Lease, including the provisions of this Section 20.1, will be honored by and binding upon any holder of a Fee Mortgagee, and further containing such other terms and conditions as such Leasehold Mortgagee shall reasonably request, including Lessor’s acceptance of Leasehold Mortgagee as lessee in the event Leasehold Mortgagee succeeds to the interest of Lessee hereunder. At the request of Lessor, Lessee agrees to cause the holder of each Fee Mortgage to be named as an additional insured to any and all insurance policies required to be carried by Lessee under Article XIV. At the request of Lessor, and without cost to Lessee, Lessee agrees to make a good faith effort to cause any Leasehold Mortgagee to agree to disburse any insurance proceeds which would otherwise be payable to Lessor hereunder to the holder of any Fee Mortgage, subject to Lessor directing the Leasehold Mortgagee to do so in writing, which written request shall identify the holder of the Fee Mortgage and provide an address for delivery of such proceeds.
20.2 Leasehold Mortgages. Subject to the requirements of this Article XX, Lessee may assign or encumber Lessee’s interest in the Leasehold as security for any debt or obligation of Lessee [to an Institutional Investor] by a Leasehold Mortgage containing such terms and provisions as Lessee may, in its sole discretion, deem fit and proper; provided, however, that all right, title and interest acquired by such Leasehold Mortgagee under such Leasehold Mortgage from Lessee shall be subject to this Lease and to the rights and interests of Lessor herein and to the rights of any holder of a Fee Mortgage arising under or by virtue of this Lease. Lessor shall have the right to request and, Lessee shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, a non-disturbance agreement from any Leasehold Mortgagee, in favor of Lessor and any holder of a Fee Mortgage, confirming that the provisions of this Lease, including the provisions of this Section 20.2, will be honored by and binding upon any Leasehold Mortgagee, and further containing such other terms and conditions as the holder of a Fee Mortgage shall reasonably request, including attornment of Lessee to the holder of the Fee Mortgage in the event the holder of the Fee Mortgage succeeds to the interest of Lessor hereunder.
20.3 Protection of Leasehold Mortgagees.
(a) New Lease.
(i) In the event that this Lease is terminated as a result of any default by Lessee hereunder or any other cause (including, without limitation, a rejection of this Lease by Lessee’s trustee in bankruptcy pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §365 or any equivalent provision of law), Lessor shall provide each Leasehold Mortgagee with Notice that this Lease has been terminated, together with a statement of all sums which would at that time be due under this Lease but for such termination, and of all other defaults, if any, then known to Lessor. Lessor agrees, at the option of the Leasehold Mortgagee, to immediately enter into a new lease (hereinafter referred to as the “New Lease”) of the Leased Property with such Leasehold Mortgagee or its designee for the remainder of the term of this Lease with the same covenants, conditions and agreements (including, without limitation, any and all options to extend or renew the term of this Lease, but excluding any requirements which have been satisfied by Lessee prior to termination) as are contained herein, subject only to (A) the conditions of title as the Leased Property is subject to on the date of the execution of the New Lease and which do not arise from a voluntary breach by Lessor of this Lease, and (B) the right, if any, of any parties under Subleases. Thereafter, the lessee under the New Lease shall have the same right, title and interest in and to the Leased Property as Lessee had under this Lease. The obligations of Lessor to enter into a New Lease shall be subject to the following conditions:
(A) Such Leasehold Mortgagee or its designee shall pay or cause to be paid to Lessor at the time of the execution and delivery of such New Lease any and all sums which would at the time of execution and delivery thereof be due pursuant to this Lease but for such termination and, in addition thereto, all expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, which Lessor shall have incurred by
30
reason of Lessee’s default and such termination and the execution and delivery of the New Lease and which have not otherwise been received by Lessor from Lessee or any other party in interest under Lessee; and
(B) Such Leasehold Mortgagee or its designees shall agree to cure as soon as reasonably possible any defaults of Lessee under the terminated Lease of which Lessor shall have notified Leasehold Mortgagee other than those defaults which, by their nature, are not susceptible to cure by a Leasehold Mortgagee and which, if not cured, will not materially harm or prejudice Lessor or its rights under this Lease or in the Leased Property.
(ii) The new lessee under any such New Lease shall be liable to perform the obligations imposed on the lessee by such New Lease only during the period such person has an ownership of the leasehold estate created by such New Lease.
(iii) The new lessee under such New Lease shall, upon entering into such New Lease, acquire all of the right, title and interest of Lessee in and to any and all Subleases and upon the request of such new lessee, Lessee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to such new lessee an assignment in recordable form evidencing such conveyance.
(b) Subordination of Lessor’s Lien. Lessor does hereby agree not to foreclose any liens or claims of lien against Lessee, the Leased Property, the Permitted Capital Improvements and all other trade fixtures and equipment of Lessee located on or in the Leased Property created pursuant to Oregon Revised Statutes Section 87.162 until such time as Lessor shall have afforded any Leasehold Mortgagee the opportunities to cure as set forth in this Article XX and neither Lessee nor such Leasehold Mortgagee has cured the same within the time limits afforded herein.
ARTICLE XXI.
INDEMNIFICATION
21.1 Indemnification by Lessee.
(a) Lessee’s Indemnification Obligations. Subject to the waiver of subrogation provisions in Section 14.4, the remainder of this Article XXI, and Section 26.3, and except for Losses for which Lessor is responsible pursuant to Section 21.2, Lessee, to the fullest extent permissible by Applicable Legal Requirements, agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Lessor Indemnified Parties and Lessor Lender (in Lessor Lender’s capacity as such) from and against any and all Losses arising out of or based upon, in whole or in part (i) a Lease Assignment or Sublease made by Lessee in violation of this Lease, (ii) a Lessee Event of Default, (iii) any negligent acts or omissions of Lessee or any other Lessee Party with respect to this Lease or the Leased Property, (iv) the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessee or any Lessee Party in connection with the Leased Property or the transactions contemplated by this Lease, (v) the operation, possession, use, non-use, maintenance, modification, alteration, construction, reconstruction, restoration, condition, design or replacement of the Leased Property (or any portion thereof) by Lessee or any other Lessee Party, or (vi) the business and activities of Lessee or of any other Person permitted on or about the Leased Property by Lessee (whether as an invitee, sublessee, licensee or otherwise).
(b) Environmental Matters Not Included. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 21.1 is not intended to provide any indemnification to Lessor or any Lessor Indemnified Party for any matters related to Environmental Laws or Hazardous Materials or any other matters covered by Article XXII.
31
21.2 Release and Indemnification by Lessor. Subject to the waiver of subrogation provisions in Section 14.3, and except for Losses for which Lessee is responsible pursuant to Section 21.1, and subject to the provisions in Article XIV and Section 26.3, Lessor, to the fullest extent permissible by Applicable Legal Requirements:
(a) Release of Lessee and Lessee Indemnified Parties. Releases Lessee and each other Lessee Indemnified Party from any Losses from any source arising out of or based upon, in whole or in part (i) any acts or omissions by any Lessor Party or Lessor Indemnified Party, (ii) any acts or omission of any Lessor Party, Lessor Indemnified Party or Lessor Lender with respect to this Lease, (iii) any Lessor Event of Default, or (iv) the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Lessor Party or Lessor Indemnified Party in connection with the Leased Property or the transactions contemplated by this Lease; and
(b) Lessor Indemnification of Lessee and Lessee Indemnified Parties. Agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Lessee and each other Lessee Indemnified Party from and against any and all Losses arising out of or based upon, in whole or in part (i) any acts or omissions by any Lessor Party or Lessor Indemnified Party in violation of the terms of this Lease, (ii) any Lessor Event of Default, or (iii) the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Lessor Party or Lessor Indemnified Party in connection with the Leased Property;
Provided, however, that in the case of subsections (a) and (b) above, to the extent and in the proportion such Losses also arise out of or are based upon (A) any breach of this Lease by Lessee, (B) the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessee or any other Lessee Party with respect to the Leased Property, (C) Taxes for which Lessee is responsible pursuant to this Lease, or (D) breach by Lessee of any representations made by it in this Lease, then Lessor’s release and indemnification under this subsection (b) shall not apply.
21.3 Concurrent Negligence. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 21.1 and Section 21.2, in the event of the concurrent negligence or intentional misconduct of Lessee, any other Lessee Party or any Lessee Indemnified Party on the one hand and the concurrent negligence or intentional misconduct of Lessor, any other Lessor Party or Lessor Indemnified Party, on the other hand, a party’s (the “Indemnifying Party”) obligation to indemnify the other as set forth in this Article XXI shall be limited to the extent of the Indemnifying Party’s negligence and/or intentional misconduct (and that of the Lessee Indemnified Parties (if Lessee is the Indemnifying Party) or the Lessor Indemnified Parties (if Lessor is the Indemnifying Party)), including the Indemnifying Party’s proportionate share of reasonable costs, attorneys’ fees, and expenses incurred in connection with any claim, action, or proceeding brought with respect to such injury or damage.
21.4 Survival. The obligations of Lessee and Lessor under this Article XXI shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
21.5 Claims Procedure. In the case of any Losses asserted by an Indemnified Party under this Article XXI, such Indemnified Party shall give prompt notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party and in any event within no less than 60 days after the Indemnified Party receives notice of such assertion; provided that failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not reduce the Indemnifying Party’s obligations to indemnify any Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent such failure adversely affects the Indemnifying Party’s rights, or materially compromises such Indemnifying Party’s ability, to defend such Losses or results in additional liability on such Indemnifying Party’s part. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its expense, acting through counsel selected by it (and reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party), to participate in or to assume and control (if it promptly so elects upon notice of the Losses), the negotiation, litigation and/or settlement of any such Losses. Such Indemnified Party may
32
(but shall not be obligated to) participate at its own expense and with its own counsel in any proceeding conducted by the Indemnifying Party in accordance with the foregoing, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall keep such Indemnified Party and its counsel fully informed of all proceedings and filings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Article XI and the right of Lessee to pursue Tax Challenges and Permitted Lessee Contests and the right of Lessor to pursue Permitted Lessor Contests, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume and control the defense of any Losses if (a) Lessee is the Indemnifying Party, a Lessee Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or, if Lessor is the Indemnifying Party, a Lessor Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the proceeding involves possible imposition of any criminal liability or penalty or unindemnified civil penalty on the Indemnified Party, or (c) the proceeding involves the granting of injunctive relief against the Indemnified Party not related to this Lease.
ARTICLE XXII.
ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS
22.1 Environmental Undertakings. Lessee’s operations on the Leased Property from and after the Effective Date shall comply with Environmental Laws in all material respects. Lessor will conduct no operations on the Leased Property. If either party discovers or is informed of the existence of a material violation of Environmental Laws with respect to the Leased Property, or receipt of any notices alleging non-ordinary course of business liabilities under Environmental Laws with respect to the Leased Property, that party shall give prompt notice to the other party of such event.
22.2 Environmental Covenants.
(a) Lessee’s Obligations for Certain Corrective Actions. Lessee shall be responsible for performing Corrective Action required under Environmental Law to the extent arising from Lessee Environmental Liabilities, such Corrective Actions to be performed in material compliance with Environmental Laws. Lessee’s obligations to conduct Corrective Action shall be limited to those activities designed to achieve the least stringent remediation permitted under Environmental Laws for a property in similar use as the property requiring Corrective Action.
22.3 Lessee Environmental Indemnity. Lessee shall, at no cost to Lessor, protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless each of the Lessor Indemnified Parties and each Lessor Lender for, from and against any and all Losses (including engineers’ fees, environmental consultants’ fees, and costs of investigation (including sampling, testing, and analysis of soil, water, air, building materials and other materials and substances whether solid, liquid or gas)) imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any Lessor Indemnified Parties, but only to the extent arising out of any one or more of the following:
(a) Lessee Environmental Liabilities; or
(b) Lessee breach of its covenants in this Article XXII (including Lessee’s obligation to take Corrective Action under Section 22.2(a)).
22.4 Claims Procedure. In the case of any Losses asserted by an Indemnified Party under this Article XXII, such Indemnified Party shall give prompt notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party and in any event within no less than 60 days after the Indemnified Party receives notice of such assertion; provided that failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not reduce the Indemnifying Party’s obligations to indemnify any Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent such failure adversely affects the Indemnifying Party’s rights, or materially compromises such Indemnifying Party’s ability, to defend such Losses or results in additional liability on such Indemnifying Party’s part. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its expense, acting through counsel selected by it (and reasonably satisfactory to
33
such Indemnified Party), to participate in or to assume and control (if it promptly so elects upon notice of the Losses), the negotiation, litigation and/or settlement of any such Losses. Such Indemnified Party may (but shall not be obligated to) participate at its own expense and with its own counsel in any proceeding conducted by the Indemnifying Party in accordance with the foregoing, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall keep such Indemnified Party and its counsel fully informed of all proceedings and filings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Article XI and Lessee’s right to pursue Tax Challenges and Permitted Lessee Contests and Lessor’s right to pursue Permitted Lessor Contests, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume and control the defense of any Losses if (a) Lessee is the Indemnifying Party, Lessee Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or, if Lessor is the Indemnifying Party, a Lessor Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the proceeding involves possible imposition of any criminal liability or penalty or unindemnified civil penalty on the Indemnified Party, or (c) the proceeding involves the granting of injunctive relief against the Indemnified Party not related to this Lease.
22.5 Survival. It is expressly understood and agreed that Lessee’s and Lessor’s obligations under this Article XXII shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
22.6 Lessee’s Environmental Obligations. Notwithstanding anything herein stated to the contrary, Lessee’s obligations under this Article XXII are reduced by any cash received by Lessor, and any quantifiable liability of Lessor extinguished, pursuant to any contractual indemnity arrangements, plus any cash received by Lessor, and any quantifiable liability of Lessor extinguished, pursuant to the insurance policy described in Section 14.2. Further, Lessor shall be responsible for the first $200,000 in the aggregate of liability hereunder during the term of this Lease that is not covered by such contractual indemnity arrangements and insurance policy. If Lessor receives Notice from the operator of the Terminal System or a third party regarding any environmental claim, Lessor shall timely make a claim to the indemnifying party under any such contractual indemnity arrangement, and shall deliver copies of all such notices and claims to Lessee. Lessor shall include Lessee in all discussions and negotiations with any parties involved in such contractual indemnity arrangements.

(j) A “Lessee Event of Default” has occurred under the Pipeline System Lease.
23.2 Lessor’s Remedies for a Lessee Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Lessee Event of Default, with or without notice or demand, except such notice as may be required by statute and cannot be waived by Lessee and such notice as is specifically required by the terms of this Lease (all other notices being hereby waived), Lessor shall be entitled to exercise, at its option, any or all of the following remedies:
(a) Lessor’s Remedies for a Lessee Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Lessee Default, Lessor may give Lessee written notice of Lessor’s intention to terminate this Lease as a result of such Lessee Event of Default (except for the terms and provisions hereof which survive termination) on a date specified in such notice (which date shall be no sooner than ten (10) days after the date of the notice), in which case, upon the date therein specified, the Term and the estate hereby granted shall expire and terminate as if such date were the date hereinabove fixed for the expiration of the Term except the terms and provisions hereof which survive the Term. Upon such termination, Lessee shall surrender possession of the Leased Property to Lessor and Lessor may (i) take possession of the same on the termination date without being deemed guilty in any manner of trespass or becoming liable for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, without resort to legal or judicial process, procedure or action, and (ii) substitute a replacement operator to operate the Terminal System.
In addition to the foregoing right to terminate this Lease, and without being obligated to terminate this Lease and without limiting any other rights or remedies that may be available to Lessor as a result of
35
a Lessee Default, Lessor shall be entitled to the following remedies, and may bring an action against Lessee, for any or all of the following:
(i) Accrued and Unpaid Base Rent. All Base Rent and Variable Rent accrued and unpaid to the termination date and not otherwise paid by Lessee; and
(ii) Accrued and Unpaid Additional Rent. All Additional Rent accrued and unpaid to the termination date and not otherwise paid by Lessee (including Lessee’s indemnity obligations under
Sections 21.2 and 22.3 with respect to matters or circumstances arising prior to the expiration of the Term or date of Lease termination, as applicable, whether or not Lessor has asserted such indemnity claims prior to the expiration of the Term or date of Lease termination, as applicable), but without duplication for amounts for which Lessor seeks damages under this Lease; and
(iii) Failure to Surrender Leased Property. Losses resulting from Lessee’s failure to surrender the Leased Property as required by Section 18.1, but without duplication for amounts for which Lessor seeks damages or indemnification under this Lease; and
(iv) Collection Costs. All reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lessor in enforcing its remedies under this Section 23.2(a) with respect to such Lessee Event of Default, including retention of a third party to operate the Terminal System, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expert witness fees, costs of tests and analyses, travel and accommodation expenses, deposition and trial transcripts, copies and other similar costs and fees, paid or incurred by Lessor as a result of its exercise of remedies under this subsection (a) with respect to such Lessee Event of Default, regardless of whether or not legal proceedings are actually commenced, subject to Section 26.9 of this Lease; and
(v) Termination Damages. The amount, if any, by which (1) the unpaid Base Rent and Variable Rent (as calculated below) payable under this Lease which would have been earned after termination for the balance of the Term (had this Lease not been terminated and without giving effect to any unexercised extension options), discounted to present value at the Discount Rate exceeds (2) the Fair Market Rent for such period, also discounted to present value at the Discount Rate. The Variable Rent which would have been earned after termination for the balance of the Term under (1) above, shall be calculated based on the average Variable Rent payable during the one year period prior to the termination of this Lease; and
(vi) Specific Performance. Lessor may bring an action against Lessee for specific performance by Lessee of its unperformed obligations under this Lease, but without duplication for other amounts for which Lessor seeks damage or indemnification under this Lease. All covenants and agreements of Lessee in this Lease shall be deemed special, unique and extraordinary, and any breach of any covenant or agreement by Lessee shall be deemed to cause Lessor irreparable injury not properly compensable by damages in an action at law, such that the rights and remedies of Lessor may be enforced both at law or in equity; and
(vii) Self-Help Remedies. Lessor may perform (or cause another Person to perform), on Lessee’s behalf, any unperformed covenant or obligation under this Lease constituting such Lessee Event of Default if such covenant or obligation remains unperformed at any time during which a Lessee Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and/or Lessor may substitute a replacement operator to operate the Terminal System at any time during which a Lessee Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which event, Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for all reasonable costs, expenses and disbursements incurred by Lessor in doing so (including, without limitation, the cost of any replacement operator), plus together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the due date for Additional

Rent, but in any event without duplication for amounts for which Lessor seeks damages or indemnification under this Lease.
For the avoidance of doubt, Lessor may exercise any or all of the remedies set forth in Section 23.2(a)(i) through (vii) without terminating this Lease and Lessee’s obligations under this Lease including the obligation to pay the Base Rent, Variable Rent and Additional Rent as and when due under this Lease shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding Lessor’s exercise of any of the foregoing remedies.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, the amount required to be paid by Lessee pursuant to Sections 23.2(a)(i) through (v) shall be limited as follows: The Inception Date Present Value of the amount paid by Lessee pursuant to Sections 23.2(a)(i) through (v) plus the Inception Date Present Value of the Aggregate Minimum Rent shall not in any event exceed $37,170,000 (the “Maximum Loss Amount”); provided, however, that the Maximum Loss Amount shall increase by ninety percent (90%) of the Project Costs. As used herein, (I) “Aggregate Minimum Rent” means the Minimum Rent paid by Lessee during the period beginning on the Effective Date and continuing through the date of termination of the Initial Term, (II) “Inception Date Present Value” of an amount means the present value of such amount as of the Effective Date, calculated using the Specified Discount Rate, and (III) “Specified Discount Rate” means eight percent (8%). The Maximum Loss Amount will be renegotiated for any Renewal Term.
In addition, and notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that as of the Lease termination date specified in Lessor’s notice to Lessee such Lessee Event of Default has been cured, such termination notice shall be deemed to have been rescinded, this Lease shall remain in effect and Lessor shall only be entitled to Base Rent, Variable Rent and Additional Rent which has accrued under this Lease under subsections (i) and (ii), above, and Lessor’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses under subsection (iv) above.
(b) No Waiver or Election of Remedies. No delay or omission of Lessor to exercise any right or power accruing upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Lessee Event of Default shall impair any other or subsequent Lessee Event of Default or impair any rights or remedies consequent thereto unless such Lessee Event of Default is cured. Every power and remedy given by this Section to Lessor may be exercised from time-to-time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by Lessor, subject at all times to Lessor’s right to change any course of action undertaken by Lessor.
23.3 Lessor Events of Default. Each of the following shall be an event of default under this Lease (each, a “Lessor Event of Default”):
(a) Monetary Defaults. Lessor fails to make any payment due to Lessee under this Lease and such failure continues for seven (7) Business Days after Lessor’s receipt of written notice of such failure from Lessee; or
(b) Representations. Any representation and warranty made by Lessor under this Lease is false at the time made and which, individually or in the aggregate with respect to each other such false representation or warranty, is material; or
(c) Certain Specified Lessor Event of Defaults. Any breach, default or failure of performance by Lessor under Section 3.2(a) (Prohibited Other Record Agreements), and such breach, default or failure of performance remains uncured for sixty (60) days after Lessor’s receipt of written notice of such breach, default or failure of performance; or
37
(d) Other Lessor Covenant Defaults. Lessor fails to observe or perform any other covenant of Lessor under this Lease in any material respect (other than those specified in other subsections of this Section 23.3) which failure continues for fifteen (15) days after Lessor’s receipt of written notice of such breach from Lessee (or if the cure of such failure reasonably requires more than fifteen (15) days to complete, if Lessor fails to commence the cure within such fifteen (15) day period and thereafter diligently pursue such cure to completion); or
(e) Debtor Relief Laws. The filing by or against Lessor of a petition for relief under any Debtor Relief Laws (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Lessor, the same is dismissed within ninety (90) days after filing), or the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of all, or
substantially all, of Lessor’s assets or of Lessor’s interest in this Lease, where such appointment is not discharged in ninety (90) days after appointment of said trustee or receiver, or the voluntary filing of a petition for the appointment of the same; or
(f) Pipeline System Lease. A “Lessor Event of Default” has occurred under the Pipeline System Lease.
23.4 Lessee’s Remedies for a Lessor Event of Default.
(a) Lessee Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Lessor Event of Default, with or without notice or demand, except such notice as may be required by statute and cannot be waived by Lessor and such notice as is specifically required by the terms of this Lease (all other notices being hereby waived), this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, Lessee shall be entitled to remain in possession of the Leased Property hereunder and shall remain obligated and liable for Lessee’s obligations hereunder (subject to Lessee’s offset rights set forth below), and Lessee shall have and may exercise the following remedies, concurrently, successively, or in any combination, Lessee hereby waiving all other rights and remedies to which Lessee may be entitled at law or in equity:
(i) Amounts Due by Lessor under the Lease. Lessee may collect and bring an action against Lessor for all amounts due, owing and unpaid by Lessor as of the date of such action, including Lessor’s indemnity obligations under this Lease with respect to matters or circumstances arising prior to the date of such action, but in any case without duplication for claims made under subsection (a)(ii) below; and
(ii) Damages. Lessee may bring an action against Lessor for Lessee’s damages which are proximately caused by such Lessor Event of Default, but without duplication for other amounts and indemnities for which Lessor may be obligated under this Lease; and
(iii) Enforcement Costs. Lessee shall be entitled to recover from Lessor all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expert witness fees, costs of tests and analyses, travel and accommodation expenses, deposition and trial transcripts, copies and other similar costs and fees, paid or incurred by Lessee in exercising its remedies under this Section 23.4(a) as a result of such Lessor Event of Default, regardless of whether or not legal proceedings are actually commenced, subject to Section 26.9 of this Lease; and
(b) Delays and Waivers of Other Remedies. No delay or omission of Lessee to exercise any right or power accruing upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Lessor Event of Default shall impair any other or subsequent Lessor Event of Default or impair any rights or remedies consequent thereto unless such Lessor Event of Default is cured. Subject to the provisions of subsection (a), above, which provide that such remedies are available without duplication of certain other claims, every power and remedy given by this Section 23.4 to Lessee may be exercised from time-to-time, and as often as may
38
be deemed expedient, by Lessee, subject at all times to Lessee’s right to change any course of action undertaken by Lessee. Lessee hereby irrevocably waives and releases any and all rights and remedies with respect to any Lessor Event of Default other than as expressly granted in this Section 23.4. provided, however, that this sentence shall not be deemed to prohibit collection by Lessee of amounts due and owing from Lessor which payment obligation has accrued or arisen with respect to facts or circumstances during the Term, including indemnification claims which arose during the Term pursuant to Sections 21.2 and 22.4, but without duplication of any such amounts or claims and such remedies.

ARTICLE XXV.
RENEWAL AND END OF TERM OPTIONS
25.1 Renewal Option.
(a) Renewal Rights. Provided no Lessee Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured as of the end of the Current Lease Term, Lessee shall have the right and option (the “Renewal Option”) to extend the term of this Lease with respect to all (but not less than all) of the Leased Property for consecutive renewal terms, each for a length of time equal to five (5) years (each, hereafter referred to as the “Renewal Term”), provided, however, that the maximum aggregate Term shall in no event exceed 99 years.
(b) Lessee Renewal Notice. Prior to the date that is twenty-one (21) months before the Current Lease Term End (the “Renewal Notice Date”), Lessee may exercise its Renewal Option if Lessee and Lessor agree in writing upon the Fair Market Rent for the applicable Renewal Term (the “Agreed FMV Rent”).
(c) Determination of Agreed FMV Rent. Lessor and Lessee shall negotiate in good faith to reach agreement as to the Fair Market Rent and, if requested by Lessee, one or more senior officers of Lessor shall meet with one or more senior officers of Lessee at Lessor’s offices in Kansas City, Missouri or such other location as the parties shall mutually agree to conduct such negotiations in person. The Agreed FMV Rent shall be the Base Rent for the Leased Property for the applicable Renewal Term. If Lessor and Lessee are unable to agree upon the Agreed FMV Rent on or prior to the Renewal Notice Date, then the first day of the Renewal Term shall be an Adjustment Date and Base Rent (including its Minimum Rent component) for each year of the Renewal Term, including the first year of the Renewal Term, shall be adjusted in the same manner, using the same methodology, as Base Rent (including its Minimum Rent component) was adjusted during the Initial Term.
25.2 Procedure Upon Purchase.
(a) If Lessee shall purchase the Leased Property pursuant to this option described in Section 25.4, Lessor need not transfer and convey to Lessee any better title thereto than existed on the
40
date of the commencement of the term of this Lease, and Lessee or its designee shall accept such title, subject, however, to the state of title to the Leased Property on the date on which this Lease commenced; the condition of the Leased Property on the date of purchase; all charges, liens, security interests and encumbrances on the Leased Property and all Applicable Legal Requirements.
(b) Upon the date fixed for any purchase of the Leased Property, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the purchase price therefor specified herein, and Lessor shall deliver to Lessee an instrument of assignment and conveyance which is sufficient to vest in Lessee the Leased Property and any other instruments necessary to convey the title thereto described in this Section 25 and to assign any other
property then required to be assigned by Lessor pursuant hereto. Lessee shall pay all charges incident to such conveyance and assignment, including counsel fees, escrow fees, recording fees, title insurance premiums and all applicable taxes (other than any income or franchise taxes of Lessor) which may be imposed by reason of such conveyance and assignment and the delivery of said instrument of assignment and conveyance and other instruments. Upon the completion of any purchase of the Leased Property but not prior thereto (whether or not any delay or failure in the completion of such purchase shall be the fault of Lessor), this Lease shall terminate, except with respect to obligations and liabilities of Lessee hereunder, actual or contingent, which have arisen on or prior to such date of purchase.
25.3 Lessee as Operator After Term. If Lessor elects by written notice to Lessee given no later than 90 days prior to the end of the Lease Term, then following the termination of his Lease, Lessee or its Affiliate will continue to operate the Leased Property after the Term as an operator and not a lessee, pursuant to the Services Agreement, for a monthly operating fee equal to the fair market value for applicable services and use under the Services Agreement as Lessor and Lessee shall negotiate in good faith, for a period of up to two (2) years following the end of the Lease Term, as specified in the notice from Lessor, but subject in any event to the termination rights provided in the Services Agreement. Upon timely written request from Lessor, as provided in this Section 25.3, Lessor and Lessee shall execute and deliver the Services Agreement and pay or cause to be paid the monthly operating fee in connection therewith.
25.4 Lessee Buy-Out. So long as no Lessee Event of Default shall exist under this Lease and no notice shall have been given to Lessee of a default hereunder which has not been corrected, Lessee shall have the right to purchase the Leased Property concurrently with the purchase by Lessee of the property leased by Lessee under the Pipeline System Lease and terminate this Lease at the end of the thirty-six (36) month period beginning the first day of the month following the month in which the Effective Date occurs, or at the end of any month thereafter during the Term, upon giving Lessor ninety (90) days’ written notice before such termination date. The purchase price shall be nine (9) times the greater of (a) total of Base Rent and Variable Rent invoiced for the immediately preceding twelve (12) months prior to the Notice or (b) $6,964,887. The closing of such buy-out shall proceed as is otherwise described in this Article.
25.5 Lessee Termination Options.
(a) Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the fifth (5th) anniversary of the first day of the month following the month in which the Effective Date occurs, by providing written notice of such termination to Lessor at least twelve (12) months prior to the termination date, and provided that, as of the date of such notice, no Lessee Event of Default shall exist under this Lease and no notice shall have been given to Lessee of a default hereunder which has not been corrected. On the date of termination under this Section 25.5(a), Lessee shall pay Lessor a termination fee of $3,816,377, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by Lessor.
41
(b) Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the tenth (10th) anniversary of the first day of the month following the month in which the Effective Date occurs, by providing written notice of such termination to Lessor at least twelve (12) months prior to the termination date, and provided that, as of the date of such notice, no Lessee Event of Default shall exist under this Lease and no notice shall have been given to Lessee of a default hereunder which has not been corrected. On the date of termination under this Section 25.5(b), Lessee shall pay Lessor a termination fee of $5,724,565, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by Lessor.
ARTICLE XXVI.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
26.1 Memorandum/Notice of Lease. Simultaneously with the execution of this Lease, Lessor and Lessee shall execute and deliver the Memo of Lease and cause it to be recorded in the Official Public Records. Upon termination of this Lease, upon the request of either party, the other party will execute an instrument in recordable form indicating that this Lease has been terminated. No mortgages, deeds of trust, fixture filings, UCC financing statements or other Lien filings will be recorded by Lessor or any Lessor Lender in the Official Public Records or in personal property UCC records naming Lessee as a debtor with respect to any of the Leased Property.
26.2 Force Majeure. If either party shall be delayed or hindered in, or prevented from, the performance of any act required under this Lease by reason of strikes, lockouts, labor troubles, riots, insurrection, war or other reasons of a like nature beyond the reasonable control of the party delayed in performing work or doing acts required under the terms of this Lease (any such delay, hindrance or prevention being referred to as “Force Majeure”), then performance of such act shall be excused for the period of delay, and the period of the performance of any such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay unless otherwise specifically provided to the contrary in this Lease. The provisions of this Section shall not apply to delays in the payment of amounts due and owing by Lessee or Lessor hereunder or resulting from the inability of a party to obtain financing or to satisfy its obligations under this Lease because of a lack of funds.
26.3 Consequential Damages. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, in no event shall Lessor or Lessee be liable or responsible for consequential, punitive, special or indirect damages except to the extent owed to a third party.
26.4 Holding Over. If Lessee remains in possession of any Leased Property after the expiration of the Term without having timely executed its right, if any, to extend the Term, such continuing possession shall create a month to month tenancy on the terms of this Lease except that the monthly Base Rent shall be 125% of the Base Rent applicable as of the end of the Term, and such tenancy may be terminated at the end of any month thereafter by either party giving at least sixty (60) days’ notice to the other party.
26.5 Quiet Enjoyment. Lessor agrees that so long as this Lease is in effect, Lessee shall and may peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Leased Property and all rights of Lessee hereunder during the Term without any manner of hindrance or molestation from Lessor, Lessor Lender, or anyone claiming by, through or under Lessor or Lessor Lender.
26.6 Cost and Expense. Wherever it is provided in this Lease that an act is to be undertaken by any Person, such act shall be done by such Person or caused to be done by such Person at no cost or expense to the other party.
42
26.7 Access; Reporting.
(a) Access and Inspection Rights. Lessor or its agents and Lessor Lender (or the agent for such Lessor Lender if requested in writing by Lessor) may, at their sole cost and expense, inspect the Leased Property during normal business hours at such locations where the same is located or kept in Lessee’s ordinary course of business, after not less than five (5) Business Days prior notice to Lessee; provided, however, neither Lessor, any Lessor Lender nor any agent for any Lessor Lender shall have any right to inspect any of the Leased Property without a representative of Lessee being present and Lessor and Lessor Lender (or its agent, if applicable) shall abide by Lessee’s reasonable rules and regulations (including those governing matters of health and safety) when making such inspections; provided, further, that, unless (i) Lessee’s interest under this Lease has been assigned to a Person that is not a Permitted Lessee Transferee, (ii) a Lessee Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (or Lesser has reason to believe that a Lessee Event of Default may have occurred and be continuing) or (iii) Lessee discontinues operations of the Leased Property, and excluding inspections made with respect to restorations following a casualty or condemnation as such inspections are permitted by and pursuant to Article XV or Article XVI, Lessor Lender (or the agent for such Lessor Lender if requested in writing by Lessor) may inspect the Leased Property no more frequently than once per calendar year and Lessor may inspect the Leased Property no more frequently than twice per calendar year. Lessee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its representative to be present for Lessor’s inspection when notice is given as required by this subsection (a). In the event Lessee is unable to provide a representative of Lessee to be present for a Lessor or Lessor Lender inspection at any time during a thirty (30) consecutive day period, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a $10,000 penalty. Under no circumstances shall Lessor permit its inspection or any inspection by Lessor Lender (or the agent for such Lessor Lender if requested in writing by Lessor) to interfere with Lessee’s ordinary operation of the Leased Property or with Lessee’s business.
(b) Lessee Reporting Obligations. Lessee shall:
(i) furnish, not later than 60 days after the end of each calendar month during the Term, a report stating the Actual Daily Volume for such prior month;
(ii) furnish, no later than 60 days after the end of each calendar quarter during the Term, a report discussing maintenance, integrity management and any special operational procedures performed on the Terminal System for such quarter;
(iii) furnish, not later than 60 days after the end of each calendar quarter during the Term, a report listing any capital expenditures made related to the Terminal System for such quarter;
(iv) cause Lessee Guarantor (or, if there is no Lessee Guarantor, then Lessee) to furnish, not later than 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of such Person, such Person’s unaudited consolidated balance sheet and related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows as of the end of and for such year;
(v) cause Lessee Guarantor (or, if there is no Lessee Guarantor, then Lessee) to furnish, not later than 60 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year of such Person, such Person’s unaudited consolidated balance sheet and related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows as of the end of and for such fiscal quarter and the then elapsed portion of the fiscal year;
(vi) cause Lessee Guarantor (or, if there is no Lessee Guarantor, then Lessee) to furnish, as promptly as reasonably practicable such unaudited or audited financial statements as may be
43
required by Lessor or a direct or indirect owner of an interest in Lessor to permit it to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (along with any required auditor consent); and
(vii) provide prompt written notice to Lessor of any failure by Lessee or Lessee Guarantor to pay any installment of principal or interest under its debt when due if such failure is not cured or waived within the applicable grace period with respect to such debt.
Financial statements, reports and other information required or permitted to be furnished by Lessee or Lessee Guarantor pursuant to this Lease, including the financial statements and other information furnished pursuant to this Section 26.7(b), may be submitted by Lessee or Lessee Guarantors by email addressed to Lessor. In the event that any information or documents furnished by Lessee or Lessee Guarantor pursuant to this Lease is publicly available on the Securities and Exchange Commission EDGAR database (or any successor database), such documents or information shall be deemed to have been delivered to Lessor by Lessee on the date on which Lessee or Lessee Guarantor files such financial statements or other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission and provides notice to Lessor of such filing, which notice may be given by email.
(c) Periodic Discussions. In addition to the reports and statements to be delivered by Lessee pursuant to Section 26.7(b), Lessor and Lessee agree, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the end of each calendar quarter during the Term, to convene a conference call with at least one senior officer of each party to discuss the operations and financial performance of the Terminal System, the reports and statements delivered by Lessee pursuant to Section 26.7(b) and other relevant information regarding the Leased Property, provided, however, that the senior officers of Lessee may delegate participation in such calls to other representatives of Lessee who are appropriate to participate in discussions of the operation and performance of the Terminal System.
26.8 Accord and Satisfaction.
(a) Lessor. Acceptance by Lessor of any partial payment of any amount payable by Lessee hereunder shall not constitute an accord and satisfaction by Lessor of any of Lessee’s obligations hereunder and Lessor shall be entitled to collect from Lessee the balance of any amount remaining due.
(b) Lessee. Acceptance by Lessee of any partial payment of any amount due from Lessor hereunder shall not constitute an accord and satisfaction by Lessee of any of Lessor’s obligations hereunder and Lessee shall be entitled to collect from Lessor the balance of any amount remaining due.
26.9 Prevailing Party. If any action at law is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of the proceeding up to and including all trial and appellate levels in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled. If any action in equity is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs up to and including all trial and appellate levels in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled. For purposes of this Section, a party will be considered to be the “prevailing party” if (a) such party initiated the litigation and substantially obtained the relief which it sought (whether by judgment, voluntary agreement or action of the other party, trial, or alternative dispute resolution process), (b) such party did not initiate the litigation and either (i) received a judgment in its favor, or (ii) did not receive judgment in its favor, but the party receiving the judgment did not substantially obtain the relief which it sought, or (c) the other party to the litigation withdrew its claim or action without having substantially received the relief which it was seeking.
44
26.10 Confidentiality.
(a) General Confidentiality Provisions. Lessor shall, and shall cause any Person receiving Confidential Information directly or indirectly from Lessor, to hold all Confidential Information in strict confidence. Lessor may (i) disclose Confidential Information only to its direct and indirect owners and prospective owners, Lessor Lenders and prospective Lessor Lenders, and any prospective purchaser of the Leased Property and, on a need to know basis, to the respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, accountants, legal counsel and other advisors who are involved in the administration, analysis and accounting for this Lease, and (ii) in the event Lessee is no longer the operator of the Leased Property, disclose to a successor operator of the Terminal System and its advisors and consultants the Records, and such other portions of the Confidential Information as are necessary or prudent to permit them to safely and effectively manage and operate the Leased Property, provided that in the case of both subsections (i) and (ii), Lessor shall be responsible for the compliance by each such Person to whom disclosure is made with the confidentiality provisions of this Section 26.10 (including the acknowledgments and stipulations under subsection (b) of this Section), and Lessor shall remain liable for any breach of the provisions of this Section by any such Person. Neither Lessor nor any Person to whom disclosure is made pursuant to this subsection (a) may disclose Confidential Information to any other Person or entity except (A) to the extent required by any regulatory authority, (B) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by subpoena or similar legal process, in each case after adequate notice to Lessee in order to allow Lessee to seek a protective order or other protection therefor, (C) with the prior written consent of Lessee, (D) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, or (E) to the extent disclosure of such Confidential Information is necessary or appropriate pursuant to the provisions of the federal securities laws or the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 26.10 shall limit the ability of Lessee or any of its Affiliates to disclose Confidential Information.
(b) Survival, Specific Performance and Equitable Remedies. The obligations under this Section 26.10 of Lessor, and of all Persons to whom Confidential Information is disclosed, shall survive the expiration and termination of this Lease. Lessor acknowledges and stipulates (and all Persons to whom Confidential Information is disclosed shall be deemed to acknowledge and stipulate) that Lessee may suffer irreparable harm in the event of a breach of the provisions of this Section 26.10 by Lessee, or by a disclosure of Confidential Information by any other Person to whom Confidential Information is disclosed hereunder, in each case for which Lessee has no adequate remedy at law. Therefore, in addition to all other remedies available pursuant to the terms of this Lease or at law, Lessee shall have the right to obtain immediate injunctive or other equitable relief upon a breach of this Section 26.10 by Lessor or any other Person to whom Confidential Information is disclosed.
26.11 Consent of Lessor and Lessee. Unless specified otherwise herein and except for consents or approvals for which a specific standard is expressly set forth herein (such as “not unreasonably withheld”, “sole discretion”, etc.) and specific provisions which describe the issues which may be considered when making or withholding approval, Lessor’s consent to any request of Lessee shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed and Lessee’s consent to any request of Lessor shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.
26.12 Permitted Lessee Contests. Lessee shall not be required to pay any cost, expense or charge or perform any obligation so long as Lessee contests in good faith and at its own expense the amount or validity thereof by appropriate proceedings which shall operate to prevent the collection thereof or realization thereon and the sale, foreclosure or forfeiture of the Leased Property or any part thereof to satisfy the same, and Lessee shall have furnished any security as may be required in the applicable proceeding, and, pending any such proceedings, Lessor shall not have the right to pay or perform the same. In no event shall the manner in which Lessee pursues any such contest exacerbate in
45
any material respect the risk to Lessor of civil or criminal liability, penalty or sanction, in addition to such risks as may exist for the matters that are the subject of such contest prior to such contest, and except for liabilities, penalties or sanctions for which Lessee may, and in fact does, post a bond. Further, the manner in which Lessee pursues any such contest shall not exacerbate in any material respect the risk to Lessor of defeasance of its interest in the Leased Property in addition to the risk of such defeasance as may exist for the matters that are the subject of such contest prior to such contest and except for such risk which Lessee may, and in fact does, bond around. Lessee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to diligently prosecute any such contest to a final conclusion, except that Lessee shall have the right to attempt to settle or compromise such contest through negotiations and to discontinue any such contest at any time. Lessee shall promptly after the final determination of such contest, fully pay any amounts determined to be payable thereon and/or fully perform any obligations to be performed thereon, together will all penalties, fines, interest, costs and expenses resulting from such contest. Upon Lessee’s request, Lessor shall prosecute such contest, if required by Applicable Legal Requirements, at no cost or expense to Lessor. Upon reasonable request of Lessor at any time or from time-to-time, Lessee shall provide a written report to Lessor regarding the status of any such contests.
26.13 Waiver. Failure of either party to complain of any act or omission by the other party, no matter how long the same may continue, shall not be deemed to be a waiver by the party of any of its rights hereunder. No waiver by either party at any time, whether express or implied, of any breach of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed a waiver of a breach of any other provision of this Lease or a consent to any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision. All rights and remedies which either party may have under this Lease or by law upon a breach hereunder shall be distinct, separate and cumulative and shall not be deemed inconsistent with each other. Except as and to the extent this Lease provides that certain rights or remedies are limited or exclusive, no right or remedy, whether exercised by a party or not, shall be deemed to be in exclusion of any other right or remedy and any two (2) or more or all of such rights and remedies may be exercised at the same time, but without duplication of recovery for any such matter.
26.14 Interpretation. If any provision of this Lease or the application of any provision to any Person or any circumstance shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, then such determination shall not affect any other provision of this Lease or the application of such provision to any other Person or circumstance, all of which other provisions shall remain in full force and effect. It is the intention of the parties that if any provision of this Lease is capable of two constructions, one of which would render the provision void and the other of which would render the provision valid, the provision shall have the meaning which renders it valid.

(c) Lessor Compliance with Law; Permitted Lessor Contests. Subject to Section 11.1 hereof, Lessor shall comply with all Applicable Legal Requirements relating to Lessor except where (i) Lessee is contesting such Applicable Legal Requirements in accordance with a Permitted Lessee Contest, (ii) such compliance could reasonably be expected to impair in any material respect Lessee’s use or operation of the Leased Property unless Lessee consents to such compliance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, or (iii) such failure to do so results from a Lessee
Event of Default. For purposes hereof, “Permitted Lessor Contest” means a Lessor contest of (A) an Applicable Legal Requirement, or (B) a Lien on Lessor’s right, title or interest in this Lease, in either case in good faith and at its own expense by appropriate proceedings which shall operate to prevent the immediate application of such Applicable Legal Requirements or Lien and the sale, foreclosure or forfeiture of the Leased Property or the Lessor’s interest in this Lease or Lessee’s leasehold estate therein or hereunder or Lessee’s use or operation of the Leased Property, or any part thereof. In no event shall any Permitted Lessor Contest be undertaken in violation of Article XI. Further, in no event shall the manner in which Lessor pursues any such contest exacerbate in any material respect the risk to Lessee of civil or criminal liability, penalty or sanction, in addition to such risks as may exist for the matters that are the subject of such contest prior to such contest, and except for liabilities, penalties or sanctions for which Lessor may, and in fact does, post a bond. Further, the manner in which Lessor pursues any such contest shall not exacerbate in any material respect the risk to Lessor of defeasance of its interest in the Leased Property or impair its use or operation thereof in addition to the risk of such defeasance or impairment as may exist for the matters that are the subject of such contest prior to such contest and except for such risk which Lessor may, and in fact does, bond around. Lessor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to diligently prosecute any such contest to a final conclusion, except that Lessor shall have the right to attempt to settle or compromise such contest through negotiations and to discontinue any such contest at any time. Lessor shall promptly after the final determination of such contest, fully pay any amounts determined to be payable thereon and/or fully perform any obligations to be performed thereon, together will all penalties, fines, interest, costs and expenses resulting from such contest. Lessor shall prosecute any such Permitted Lessor Contest at no cost or expense to Lessee. Upon reasonable request of Lessee at any time or from time-to-time, Lessor shall provide a written report to Lessor regarding the status of any such contests.
(d) Temporary Office Lease. Pursuant to its acquisition of the Leased Property, Lessor has agreed to lease temporary office space to Paramount of Oregon, LLC as provided for in Exhibit H. Lessee hereby consents to such temporary office Lease per the terms described in Exhibit H.

Guaranty of Lease
GUARANTY OF LEASE
In consideration of that certain Lease (the “Lease”) between LCP OREGON HOLDINGS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Lessor”), and ARC TERMINALS HOLDINGS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Lessee”) dated January 21, 2014, and in consideration of other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and to induce Lessor to enter into said Lease, the undersigned, ARC LOGISTICS PARTNERS LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Guarantor”) hereby executed and delivers this Guaranty of Lease (this “Guaranty”) and hereby covenants and agrees as follows:
1. Guarantor hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and absolutely guarantees to Lessor the prompt and full payment of rent and all other sums due to Lessor under said Lease and the prompt and complete performance of all covenants contained in said Lease on the Lessee’s (and any successors and assigns of Lessee) part to be performed (the “Obligations”). Guarantor hereby agrees that if pursuant to any order of a bankruptcy court Lessor is required to refund, disgorge or repay any amounts paid to Lessor due to, inter alia, the legal theory of preference, an amount equal to such funds refunded, disgorged or repaid shall be included in Guarantor's obligations to Lessor and Guarantor shall be responsible for the payment of any such amount to Lessor. Guarantor agrees to indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from any loss, costs or damages arising out of Lessee’s failure to pay the aforesaid rent and other sums and/or the Lessee's failure to perform any of the aforesaid covenants. This Guaranty is an unconditional guarantee of payment and performance and not of collection.
2. Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by (a) the failure or delay on the part of the Lessor to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against Lessee; (b) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of the Obligations or any rescission, waiver, compromise, consolidation or other amendment to or modification of any of the terms or provisions of the Lease made in accordance with the terms thereof; (c) the addition, substitution or release of any Person now or hereafter liable with respect to the Obligations or otherwise interested in the transactions contemplated by the Lease; (d) any change in the structure or ownership of Lessee or any other Person now or hereafter liable with respect to the Obligations or otherwise interested in the transactions contemplated by the Lease; (e) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting Lessee or any other Person now or hereafter liable with respect to the Obligations or otherwise interested in the transactions contemplated by the Lease; (f) the existence of any claim, set-off or other right which the Guarantor may have at any time against Lessee or the Lessor, whether in connection with the Obligations or otherwise. The Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the transactions contemplated by the Lease and that this Guaranty, including specifically the waivers set forth in this Guaranty, is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
3. Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are primary and agrees that this Guaranty may be enforced by Lessor without first resorting to or exhausting any other remedy, security or collateral; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall prevent Lessor from suing on the aforesaid obligations with or without making the Guarantor a party to the suit or exercising any other rights under said Lease, and if such suit or any other remedy is availed of only the net proceeds therefrom, after deduction of all charges and expenses of every kind and nature whatsoever, shall be applied in reduction of the amount due on the aforesaid obligations. No action brought under this Guaranty and no recovery in pursuance thereof shall be a bar or defense to any further action which may be brought under this Guaranty by reason of any further default(s) hereunder or in the performance and observance of the terms, covenants and conditions of said Lease. Guarantor hereby submits to personal jurisdiction in the state where the Leased Property (as that term is defined in the Lease) is located for the enforcement of this Guaranty, and waives any and all personal rights under the laws of any state to object to jurisdiction within the state where the Leased Property is located for the purposes of litigation to enforce this Guaranty. In the event such litigation is commenced, Guarantor agrees that service of process may be made and personal jurisdiction over Guarantor obtained by serving a copy of the summons and complaint upon the Secretary of State of the state where the Leased Property is located, who is hereby appointed Guarantor's agent for service of process. With respect to any litigation arising out of said Lease and/or this Guaranty of Lease, Guarantor hereby expressly waives the right to a trial by jury and the right to file any countersuit or cross-claim against Lessor.
4. Guarantor agrees that the Guarantor's obligation to make payment in accordance with the terms of this Guaranty shall not be impaired, modified, changed, released or limited in any manner whatsoever by any impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of Lessee or its estate in bankruptcy (including without limitation any rejection of the Lease by Lessee or by any trustee or receiver in bankruptcy) resulting from the operation of any present or future provision of the National Bankruptcy Act, other similar statute, or from the decision of any court. The liability of Guarantor shall not be affected by any repossession of the Leased Property by Lessor.
5. Guarantor hereby represents and warrants that:
(a) it has all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Guaranty and the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action, and does not violate or contravene any provision of the Guarantor’s partnership agreement or similar organizational document, any material contract to which Guarantor is a party or any applicable law, regulation, rule, decree, order, judgment or contractual restriction binding on the Guarantor or its assets;
(b) all consents, approvals, authorizations, permits of, filings with and notifications to, any governmental authority necessary for the due execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty by the Guarantor have been obtained or made and all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Guaranty;
(c) this Guaranty constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms; and
(d) the Guarantor has the financial capacity to pay and perform its obligations under this Guaranty, and all funds necessary for the Guarantor to fulfill its obligations under this Guaranty shall be available to the Guarantor (or its assignees pursuant to Section 8 hereof) for so long as this Guaranty shall remain in effect in accordance with Section 6 hereof.
6. This Guaranty may not be revoked or terminated and shall remain in full force and effect and shall be binding on the Guarantor until all the Obligations have been paid in full or otherwise satisfied, in the sole, absolute and unreviewable discretion of Lessor.
7. Guarantor agrees that in the event this Guaranty is placed in the hands of an attorney for enforcement, Guarantor shall reimburse Lessor for all expenses incurred, including expenses and reasonable attorney's fees incurred through the trial courts and all appeals.
8. Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of and may be enforced by Lessor, its successors and assigns and any mortgagee(s) of the Leased Property, and shall be binding and enforceable against the Guarantor and the Guarantor's legal representatives, successors and assigns.
9. Capitalized terms used, but not defined, herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Lease.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Guarantor has caused this Guaranty to be executed and delivered as of the date first written above by its officer thereunto duly authorized.

This LEASE AGREEMENT (this “Lease” or “Agreement”) is made as of January 21, 2014, between LCP Oregon Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and Paramount of Oregon, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Tenant”).
WHEREAS, Landlord recently acquired the Willbridge facility from Tenant (the “Willbridge Facility”), and related assets and real property (the “Property”) pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement between Tenant and Landlord dated October 17, 2013 (the “Purchase Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Landlord agreed to lease and demise to Tenant, and Tenant agreed to lease from Landlord, certain office space located on the Property described on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Leased Premises”) for nominal additional consideration, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby covenant and agree as follows:
1. Grant of Leasehold Estate. Landlord hereby leases and demises to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, all right, title and interest of Landlord in and to the Leased Premises for the purposes hereinafter provided for the Term (defined below). The leasehold estate shall also include a non-exclusive license to use all such portions of the Property reasonably required for Tenant's ingress to and egress from the Leased Premises.
2. As Is; Condition of Leased Premises. Tenant has inspected and is familiar with the Leased Premises and accepts the same in its “as is” condition and state of repair as of the Commencement Date (defined below). Landlord shall not be required to perform any work or furnish any materials in order to prepare the Leased Premises for Tenant's occupancy.
3. Term. The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence on January 21, 2014 (the “Commencement Date”) and shall terminate ninety (90) days after the Commencement Date (the “Expiration Date”).
4. Rent. Tenant shall pay rent (the “Rent”) for the Leased Premises in the amount of One and 00/100 Dollars ($1.00). The Rent shall be payable on the Commencement Date. Except for the Rent, Tenant shall not be required to make any other payments to Landlord for this Lease.
5. Use. The Leased Premises shall be used for office space purposes and any ancillary uses related thereto for the conduct of Tenant's business unrelated to the Willbridge Facility.
6. Utilities. The Leased Premises will not be separately metered for electricity and water utilities, and Landlord shall be responsible for utility usage attributable to the Leased
Premises. Landlord shall also be responsible for providing restroom, janitorial and trash removal services to the Leased Premises.
7. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. Tenant shall comply with all present and future applicable laws and regulations of all state, federal, municipal and local governments, departments, commissions and boards and any direction of any public officer pursuant to law (collectively “Laws”) having jurisdiction which shall impose any obligation or duty upon Tenant with respect to its specific use and occupancy of the Leased Premises.
8. Access. Tenant shall permit Landlord and its contractors, agents or representatives to enter into and upon any part of the Leased Premises to inspect and maintain the same and make repairs, as Landlord may deem reasonably necessary, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation by reason thereof. Landlord shall not be required to give Tenant any notice prior to entry into the Leased Premises. Except in the case of an emergency, Landlord shall not cause or make any modifications, repairs or alterations to the Leased Premises which may interfere with the business of Tenant without reasonable written notice and shall cooperate with Tenant to minimize any such interference.
9. Repairs. Throughout the Term, Tenant shall take good care of the Leased Premises and shall keep the Leased Premises in a clean and orderly manner. During the Term, Tenant shall, at its sole expense, make all necessary repairs and replacements to the Leased Premises and the fixtures and appurtenances located therein to keep the Leased Premises in good working order and condition.

Landlord shall have no obligation to provide substitute premises, or to repair or restore the Leased Premises in the event of a casualty, although Landlord may at its election do so.
11. Indemnification.
