Lessor; provided that any such amendment to the Plans and
Specifications does not (x) result in the Completion Date of the
Improvements occurring on or after the Construction Period Termination

the Land included in a Property being less than the minimum amount
specified in Section 5.4(e) of the Participation Agreement or (z)
result in the cost of any Improvements subject to such amendment
exceeding the sum of the then Available Commitments and the then

Construction Budget and enter into any related amendments,
modifications or supplements without the consent of the Lessor;

Agreement or (B) result in unfunded Project Costs being greater than
the sum of the then Available Commitments and the then Available Holder

revision, amendment or modification, when taken together with any
previous or contemporaneous revision, amendment or modification to the
Plans and Specifications or Construction Budget (as the case
5
8
may be) for any Property, would cause a material reduction in value of
any Property when completed, unless the Agent has previously obtained
(at Construction Agent's sole cost) an Appraisal of such Property
taking account of such proposed revision, amendment or modification and
showing an appraised value for such Property equal to or greater than
85% of the expected maximum Property Cost of such Property (based on

on a date designated by Construction Agent (which date shall be not more than
thirty (30) days after the occurrence of the applicable event), an aggregate
amount equal to the liquidated damages amount referenced in Section 5.3(b) of
this Agreement regarding such Construction Period Property and on such date

interest of Lessor in and to such Construction Period Property or (b) notify

the extent provided for under the Participation Agreement. The
Construction Agent and the Lessor acknowledge and agree that the
Construction Agent's right to request such funds and the Lessor's

9

covenant or condition of this Agreement or any other Operative
Agreement other than as set forth in paragraphs (a), (b), (c) or (d) of
this Section 5.1 and such failure or breach shall remain uncured for a
period of thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from Lessor
thereof; provided, that if such failure or breach is not capable of
being cured, the grace period referred to in this subclause (e) shall
not apply;
then, in any such event, the Lessor may, in addition to the other rights and
remedies provided for in this Agreement, terminate this Agreement by giving the
Construction Agent written notice of such termination and upon the expiration of
the time fixed in such notice and the payment of all amounts owing by the
Construction Agent hereunder (including without limitation any amounts specified
under Section 5.3 hereof), this Agreement shall terminate. The Construction
Agent shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of
the Lessor, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, as a result of
any Event of Default hereunder.
5.2 Damages. The termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section
5.1 shall in no event relieve the Construction Agent of its liability and
obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive any such termination.
5.3 Remedies; Remedies Cumulative.
(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Lessor shall have all rights available at law, equity
or otherwise.
(b) Without limiting the generality of paragraph (a) above,
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, beyond any applicable
notice, grace or cure period (if any) included within the definition of
such Event of Default, Lessor shall have the option (and shall be
deemed automatically, and without any further action, to have exercised
such option upon the occurrence of any Lease Event of Default arising
under Sections 17.1(h), (i), (j) or (k) of the Lease) to transfer and
convey to the Construction Agent upon a date designated by Lessor all
right, title and interest of Lessor in and to any Property (including
without limitation any Land or any Improvements then under
construction) for which the Term of the Lease has not yet commenced (a
"Construction Period Property"). On any transfer and conveyance date
specified by Lessor pursuant to this Section 5.3(b), (a) Lessor shall
transfer and convey
8
11
all of its right, title and interest in and to any and all such
Construction Period Properties free and clear of the Lien of the Lease
and all Lessor Liens, (b) the Construction Agent hereby covenants and
agrees that it will accept such transfer and conveyance of right, title
and interest in and to such Construction Period Properties and (c) the
Construction Agent hereby promises to pay to the Lessor, as liquidated
damages (it being agreed that it would be impossible accurately to
determine actual damages) but exclusive of the indemnities payable
under Section 13 of the Participation Agreement, an aggregate amount
equal to the sum of the following: (i) the Holder Property Cost plus
the Loan Property Cost for such Construction Period Properties, (ii)
the accrued and unpaid Allocated Return with respect to the Holder
Property Cost referred to in subparagraph (i) plus the accrued and
unpaid interest owing to the Lenders with respect to the Loan Property
Cost referred to subparagraph (i), and (iii) all other amounts then due
and payable under this Agreement and under any other Operative
Agreement with respect to such Construction Period Properties
(including without limitation all costs and expenses incurred by Lessor
in connection with such transfer and conveyance). The Construction
Agent specifically acknowledges and agrees that its obligations under
this Section 5.3(b), including without limitation its obligations to
accept the transfer and conveyance of any Construction Period Property
and its payment obligations described in subparagraph (c) of this
Section 5.3(b), shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all
circumstances and shall be performed or paid, as the case may be,
without further notice or demand and without any abatement, reduction,
diminution, setoff, defense, counterclaim or recoupment whatsoever.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3(b), Lessor
shall have the right in its sole discretion to rescind any exercise of
its option under this Section 5.3(b) upon the giving of its written
confirmation of such rescission to the Construction Agent.
(c) The Construction Agent shall have the right to cure an
Event of Default hereunder with respect to any given Property by
purchasing or causing the Lessee to purchase such Property from the
Lessor (to the extent such Event of Default is no longer continuing
with respect to any other Property remaining subject to this Agreement
after such purchase) for an amount equal to the liquidated damages
amount for such Property set forth in Section 5.3(b) of this Agreement.
(d) No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the
part of the Lessor, any right, remedy, power or privilege under this
Agreement or under the other Operative
9
12
Agreements shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right remedy, power or privilege under this
Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights,
remedies, powers and privileges provided in this Agreement are
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and
privileges provided by law.
