25.3.1.1 Reduction of L-C Amount. To the extent that Tenant is not in default under this Lease (beyond the applicable notice and cure period set forth in this Lease), the L-C Amount shall be reduced commencing on the third anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date and thereafter on each successive anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date (each, a “Reduction Date”) by either (i) 10% of its then existing face amount, if, as of the applicable Reduction Date, Tenant has satisfied the 10% Reduction Threshold (as defined below) (i.e., if, as of the applicable Reduction Date, Tenant is then in satisfaction of the 10% Reduction Threshold for the preceding Lease Year, then, subject to the terms and provisions of this Section 25.3 the L-C Amount shall be decreased by 10% of its then existing amount (e.g. if the then face amount of the Letter of Credit is $9,000,000, the reduction shall be $900,000 (i.e., $9,000,000 less [$9,000,000 x 10%]), or (ii) 7% of its then existing amount if, as of the applicable Reduction Date, Tenant is not then in satisfaction of the 10% Reduction Threshold (i.e., if, as of the applicable Reduction Date, Tenant has not satisfied the 10% Reduction Threshold for the preceding Lease Year, then, subject to the terms and provisions of this Section 25.3 the L-C Amount shall be decreased by 7% of its then existing amount (e.g. if the then face amount of the Letter of Credit is $9,000,000, the reduction shall be $630,000 (i.e., $9,000,000 less [$9,000,000 x 7%]), which reduction amount in either case of (i) or (ii) shall be independent of whether or not Tenant has previously met the 10% Reduction Threshold in connection with any prior Reduction Dates; provided, however, once the L-C Amount has decreased to Four Million Three Hundred Four Thousand Six Hundred Seventy-Two and No/100 Dollars ($4,304,672.00) or less, then on the next applicable Reduction Date, the L-C Amount shall decrease to the Minimum L-C Amount (as defined below). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 25.3.2, in no event shall the L-C Amount as set forth above decrease (A) in the event that Tenant is in default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, but such decrease shall take place after such default is cured, provided that no such decrease shall thereafter take effect in the event this Lease is terminated early due to such default by Tenant, and (B) except as specifically set forth in Section 25.8 below, in no event shall the L-C Amount ever decrease below an amount equal to Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) (“Minimum L-C Amount”).
25.3.1.2 10% Reduction Threshold. As used herein, Tenant shall satisfy the “10% Reduction Threshold” as of any particular Reduction Date, if and only if, prior to such Reduction Date, Tenant delivers to Landlord supporting financial documentation reasonably acceptable to Landlord evidencing that, as of the date which occurs no more than thirty (30) days prior to the applicable Reduction Date, all of the following are true (as certified by the CEO, CFO, or President of Tenant): (i) either (A) Tenant is then a publicly traded company, with its shares traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange, and Tenant then has a “market capitalization” (i.e., the number Tenant’s shares of stock outstanding multiplied by the then current price of one share of Tenant’s stock) of at least Two Billion and 00/100 Dollars ($2,000,000,000.00), or (B) Tenant then has a Net Worth (as defined in Section 14.8 above) of at least Two Billion and 00/100 Dollars ($2,000,000,000.00), and (ii) Tenant then has, and for each of the then two (2) most recently completed fiscal years, Tenant had an annual leverage ratio (i.e., the amount of Tenant’s third party debt divided by EBITDA) equal to four (4) or less. For purposes of this Lease, “EBITDA,” shall mean Tenant’s Operating Income plus Depreciation and Amortization, stock based compensation, debt extinguishment charges and amortization on debt issuance. In each event that the L-C Amount is reduced pursuant to this Section 25.3.1, then Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an amendment to the L-C properly reducing the L-C Amount. Tenant shall pay all expenses, points and fees incurred by Tenant or Landlord in connection with such amendment to the L-C.
25.3.1.3 In General. If, as a result of any drawing by Landlord of all or any portion of the L-C, the amount of the L-C shall be less than the L-C Amount, Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days thereafter, provide Landlord with additional letter(s) of credit or an amendment to the L-C in an amount equal to the deficiency, and any such additional letter(s) of credit or an amendment to the L-C
