encumbrances on or with respect to the Ground Interest, the Facility Site, or
the Ground Sublessor's or the Owner Participant's interest therein, as the case
may be, except Permitted Encumbrances and Permitted Liens, and the Ground
Sublessee shall promptly notify the Ground Sublessor of the imposition of any
such Lien, except Permitted Encumbrances and Permitted Liens, of which the
Ground Sublessee is aware and shall promptly take such action as may be
necessary to fully discharge or release any such Lien.
SECTION 6. SECURITY FOR THE GROUND SUBLESSOR'S OBLIGATION UNDER THE LESSOR
NOTES
5
In order to secure the Lessor Notes or obligations to the Lease Indenture
Trustee, the Ground Sublessor will assign and grant a Lien to the Lease
Indenture Trustee of all of the Ground Sublessor's right, title and interest in,
to and under this Facility Site Sublease (other than Excepted Payments). The
Ground Sublessee hereby consents to such assignment and to the creation of such
Lien and security interest (and any sale arising from or in connection with the
exercise of remedies) and acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Lease Indenture,
it being understood that such consent shall not affect any requirement or the
absence of any requirement for any consent of the Ground Sublessee under any
other circumstances, except as may be otherwise contemplated in the Facility
Site Lease. Unless and until the Ground Sublessee shall have received written
notice from the Lease Indenture Trustee that the Lien created under the Lease
Indenture has been fully released, the Lease Indenture Trustee shall have the
right to exercise the rights of the Ground Sublessor under this Facility Site
Sublease to the extent set forth in and subject in each case to the exceptions
set forth in the Lease Indenture; provided, however, that during the Site
Sublease Term, each payment of rent by the Ground Sublessor for the lease of the
Ground Interest pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Facility Site Lease and each
payment of rent by the Ground Sublessee for the sublease of the Ground Interest
pursuant to this Facility Site Sublease shall be automatically offset one
against the other, and no amounts shall be payable by the Ground Sublessor or
the Ground Sublessee in respect thereof.
SECTION 7. NONMERGER OF INTERESTS
The interests of the Ground Sublessee in the Other Ground Interests under
the Other Facility Site Subleases shall not merge into any interest in the
Ground Interest conveyed by this Facility Site Sublease even though such
interests of the Ground Sublessee in the Other Ground Interests and the Ground
Interest subleased hereunder are vested in or held directly or indirectly by the
same Person, and this Facility Site Sublease shall nonetheless remain in full
force and effect in accordance with its terms notwithstanding such vesting or
holding unless and until the Person holding such interests shall execute an
instrument affecting such merger and shall duly record such instrument. No such
instrument of merger shall be executed and recorded unless and until the Lien
created under the Lease Indenture has been discharged in accordance with the
terms thereof.
SECTION 8. INSURANCE
At all times during the Site Sublease Term, the Ground Sublessee shall
comply with the requirements of Section 11 of the Facility Lease regarding
insurance and the proceeds thereof shall be applied as required by the Facility
Lease.
SECTION 9. CONDEMNATION OR DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
(a) If at any time the Facility Site or any portion thereof is
condemned or transferred in lieu of condemnation, the proceeds of such
condemnation or transfer shall be

divided among Ground Sublessor and Ground Sublessee in the proportion specified
in the Facility Site Lease and the Facility Lease, as applicable.
(b) Subject to and without limiting the parties' obligations under the
other Operative Documents, if the Facility or any substantial part thereof is
damaged or destroyed by any fire or other casualty, the Ground Sublessee shall
repair or replace the Facility or any such equipment, to the extent required
pursuant to the Facility Lease, and any proceeds received by the Ground
Sublessee in connection therewith shall be applied and distributed in accordance
with the Facility Lease.
SECTION 10. HYPOTHECATION/ASSIGNMENT
Section 10.1. Lien on Leasehold Prohibited. Except as expressly
permitted pursuant to the Participation Agreement, the Facility Lease, or any
other Operative Document, the Ground Sublessee shall not have the right to
encumber, mortgage, pledge or hypothecate its interest in this Facility Site
Sublease or the Ground Interest or to grant an assignment of the rents, issues
and profits from the Ground Interest.
Section 10.2. Assignment of the Ground Sublessor's Rights. The Ground
Sublessor shall have the right to encumber, mortgage, pledge or hypothecate its
interest in this Facility Site Sublease, the Facility Lease or the Ground
Interest or to grant an assignment of the rents, issues and profits from this
Facility Site Sublease or the Ground Interest (any such encumbrance, mortgage,
pledge, hypothecation or assignment, the "Leasehold Lien") in favor of or to a
--------------
Leasehold Mortgage entered into in accordance with the provisions of the
Facility Site Lease. The Ground Sublessee specifically acknowledges that,
concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Facility Site Sublease, the
Ground Sublessor will, as security for the Lessor Secured Obligations (as
defined in the Lease Indenture), grant the Lease Indenture Trustee a Lien in and
to all of the Ground Sublessor's right, title and interest in, to and under the
Ground Interest (other than Excepted Payments). The Ground Sublessee hereby
consents to such assignment and creation of such Lien and acknowledges receipt
of copies of the Lease Indenture, it being understood that such consent shall
not affect any requirement or the absence of any requirement for any consent
under any other circumstances. Unless and until the Ground Sublessee shall have
received written notice from the Lease Indenture Trustee that the Lien of the
Lease Indenture have been fully released, the Lease Indenture Trustee under the
Lease Indenture shall have the rights of the Ground Sublessor under this
Facility Site Sublease to the extent, and subject in each case to the exceptions
set forth in, the Lease Indenture.
SECTION 11. TAXES
The Ground Sublessee shall pay and indemnify the Ground Sublessor, as
provided in and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations in, Section
10.2 of the Participation Agreement with respect to Taxes imposed upon, or in
connection with, or applicable to, the Ground Interest during the Site Sublease
Term, this Facility Site Sublease, the Ground Sublessee
7
and those that result upon termination hereof. Such provisions of Section 10.2
of the Participation Agreement shall survive the expiration or termination of
this Facility Site Sublease.
