​

SECTION 11.2.    Delivery of Insurance Certificates.

​

Throughout the Lease Term, at the time each of the Lessee’s insurance policies is renewed (but in no event less frequently than once every twelve (12) months) or upon written request by the Lessor during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Lessee shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lessor and each other Participant certificates of insurance evidencing that all insurance required by Section 11.1 to be maintained by the Lessee with respect to the Leased Property is in effect.

Upon written request by the Administrative Agent, the Lessee will promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent copies of all insurance policies, applications, binders and cover notes or other evidence of insurance required to be maintained hereunder.

​

No provision of Article XI or any other Operative Document shall impose on the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lessor or any other Participant any obligation to verify the existence or adequacy of the insurance coverage to be maintained pursuant to Article XI, nor shall any such Person be responsible for any representations or warranties made by or on behalf of the Lessee or any Cubic Person to any insurance company or underwriter. Any failure on the part of Lessor to obtain the evidence of insurance required by Article XI from the Lessee and/or failure of such to identify any noncompliance of such evidence of insurance shall not constitute a waiver of any of the insurance requirements in Article XI.

​

SECTION 11.3.    Other Insurance.

​

Lessee agrees that nothing in this Article XI shall prohibit the Lessor or any other Participant from maintaining its own insurance coverage, at the expense of such Person, which coverage shall not reduce the obligations of the Lessee under this Article XI; provided, however, that no such insurance shall be maintained if its maintenance would prevent the Lessee from maintaining insurance as to the Leased Property and the Site with insurers when required to do so herein.

​

​

(i)        By notice to the Lessee, the Lessor may terminate the Lessee’s right to possession of the Leased Property provided, however, that this Lease shall terminate immediately without notice upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in paragraphs (h) or (i) of Article XVII hereof.

​

​

(C)       Any other amount necessary to compensate the Lessor for all the damages caused by or resulting from the Lessee’s failure to perform the Lessee’s obligation under this Lease, including, but not limited to, the costs and expenses (including without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses, advertising costs and brokers’ commissions) of recovering possession of the Facility, removing Persons or property from the Facility, placing the Facility in good order, condition, and

​

​

27

​

​

repair, preparing and altering the Facility for reletting, and all other costs and expenses of reletting; and

​

(v)        If the Event of Default occurs prior to the Base Term Commencement Date, the Lessor may exercise any and all rights and remedies under the Construction and Development Agreement.

(vi)        If the Lessee has breached this Lease, this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as the Lessor does not terminate this Lease, and the Lessor may enforce all of the Lessor’s rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the Rent hereunder (including, without limitation, Basic Rent (when applicable) and Supplemental Rent) as it becomes due under this Lease. The Lessee’s right to possession shall not be deemed to have been terminated by the Lessor except pursuant to clause (i) above. The following do not constitute a termination of this Lease:

​

(A)       Acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to relet the Leased Property; and

​

(B)       Withholding of consent to assignment or subletting, or terminating a subletting or assignment by the Lessee.

​

(vii)        In the event that the Lessor elects to continue this Lease in full force and effect following the termination of the Lessee’s right of possession of the Facility, the Lessor, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Laws and Regulations, may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including, but not limited to, the right to recover Rent hereunder as it becomes due. During the continuance of an Event of Default or following the termination of the Lessee’s right to possession of the Facility, the Lessor may enter the Facility and the Site in accordance with Applicable Laws and Regulations without terminating this Lease and, pursuant to Article VII hereof, sublet all or any part of the Leased Property for the Lessee’s account to any Person, for such term (which may be a period beyond the remaining Lease Term), at such rents and on such other terms and conditions as are commercially reasonable. In the event of any such subletting, rents received by the Lessor from such subletting shall be applied (a) first, to the payment of the costs incurred by the Lessor in maintaining, preserving, altering and preparing the Leased Property for subletting and other costs of subletting, including, but not limited to, brokers’ commissions and attorneys’ fees and expenses; (b) second, to the payment of Rent hereunder then due and payable; (c) third, to the payment of future Rent hereunder as the same may become due and payable hereunder; (d) fourth, to the payment of all other obligations of the Lessee hereunder and under the other Operative Documents (including, without limitation, the Lease Balance), and (e) fifth, the balance, if any, shall be paid to the Lessee upon (but not before) expiration of the Lease Term. If the rents received by the

​

​

28

​

​

Lessor from such subletting, after application as provided above, are insufficient in any period to pay the Rent due and payable hereunder for such period, the Lessee shall pay such deficiency to the Lessor upon demand. Notwithstanding any such subletting for the Lessee’s account without termination, the Lessor may at any time thereafter, by written notice to the Lessee, elect to terminate this Lease.

​

(viii)        The Lessor may exercise any other right or remedy that may be available to it under Applicable Laws and Regulations or in equity, or proceed by appropriate court action (legal or equitable) to enforce the terms or to recover damages for the breach hereof, including those arising from a breach by the Lessee of its obligations under Section 20.2 hereof. Separate suits may be brought to collect any such damages for any Rent installment period(s), and such suits shall not in any manner prejudice the Lessor’s right to collect any such damages for any subsequent Rent installment period(s), or the Lessor may defer any such suit until the Lessor determines to bring such suit.

​

(ix)        The Lessor may retain and apply against the Lessor’s damages all sums which the Lessor would, absent such Event of Default, be required to pay to, or turn over to, the Lessee pursuant to the terms of this Lease.

​

The Lessee acknowledges and agrees that upon the declaration of an Event of Default the amount due and owing by the Lessee to the Lessor hereunder shall be the Lease Balance and that to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Laws and Regulations, the Lessee waives any right to contest the Lease Balance as the liquidated sum or agreed upon sum due and owing.

​

(b)        In the event that an Event of Default is declared (or deemed declared) solely and exclusively on the basis of the occurrence of one or more Limiting Events on or before September 30, 2019:

​

(i)        a claim or demand by the Lessor for payment by the Lessee of or in respect of the Lease Balance under Section 18.1(a) hereof shall be limited as follows:

​

(A)       any obligation of the Lessee to pay the Lease Balance and amounts due under clauses (C) and (D) of Section 18.1(a)(iii) shall be reduced to be an obligation to pay an amount equal to the Recourse Deficiency Amount; provided, however, that if the Lessee shall not pay the full Lease Balance and such other amounts, the Lessor shall not have any obligation to transfer the Leased Property to the Lessee or its designee including, without limitation, as provided in clause (B)(1) of Section 18.1(a)(iii); and

​

(B)       any obligation of the Lessee to pay any shortfall determined by reference to the Lease Balance as provided in clause (B)(2) of Section 18.1(a)(iii), and amounts due under clauses (C) and (D) of Section 18.1(a)(iii) shall be revised to be an obligation to pay the lesser of (i) such shortfall plus such other amounts and (ii) the Recourse Deficiency Amount; and

​

the references to “Lease Balance” in the last paragraph of Section 18.1(a) and in Section 18.2 shall be deemed references to the amount described in clause (A) or clause (B) above, as applicable, provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not limit or affect any other rights of the

​

​

29

​

​

Lessor as the Lessor shall have all rights and remedies available under the Operative Documents or available at law, equity or otherwise including, without limitation, the right to demand the payment of Supplemental Rent (other than the Lease Balance) and the right to require surrender and return or sale to a third party of the Leased Property all as set forth herein; and

​

(ii)        if Section 18.1(a)(vii) is applicable, the reference to Lease Balance in clause (d) thereof shall be a reference to the Recourse Deficiency Amount so long as the Lease has not been terminated.

​

SECTION 18.2.    Proceeds of Sale; Deficiency.

​

All payments received and amounts held or realized by the Lessor at any time when an Event of Default shall be continuing and after the Lease Balance shall have been accelerated pursuant to this Article XVIII as well as all payments or amounts then held or thereafter received by the Lessor (except for rents received by the Lessor from subletting pursuant to Section 18.1(a)(vii), which shall be distributed as set forth therein) and the proceeds of sale pursuant to Section 18.1(a)(iii)(B)(2) shall be distributed forthwith upon receipt by the Lessor in accordance with Article III of the Loan Agreement.

​

SECTION 18.3.    Waiver of Certain Rights.

​

To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Laws and Regulations, (a) the Lessee hereby waives the benefit of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement and redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshalling in the event of any sale of the Leased Property or any interest therein and (b) if this Lease shall be terminated pursuant to this Article XVIII, the Lessee waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws and Regulations, (i) any notice of re-entry or the institution of legal proceedings to obtain re-entry or possession; (ii) any right of redemption, re-entry or repossession; (iii) the benefit of any laws now or hereafter in force exempting property from liability for rent or for debt or limiting the Lessor with respect to the election of remedies; (iv) any other rights which might otherwise limit or modify any of the Lessor’s rights or remedies under this Article XVIII; and (v) any rights now or hereafter conferred under California Applicable Laws and Regulations that may require the Lessor to sell, lease or otherwise use the Leased Property, or any part thereof in mitigation of the Lessor’s damages upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or that may otherwise limit or modify any of the Lessor’s rights or remedies under this Article XVIII.

​

SECTION 18.4.    Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver; Consents.

​

To the extent permitted by, and subject to the mandatory requirements of, Applicable Laws and Regulations, each and every right, power and remedy herein specifically given to the Lessor or otherwise in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Lessor, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by the Lessor in the exercise of any right,

​

​

30

​

power or remedy or in the pursuit of any remedy shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default on the part of the Lessee or be an acquiescence therein. The Lessor’s consent to any request made by the Lessee shall not be deemed to constitute or preclude the necessity for obtaining the Lessor’s consent, in the future, to all similar requests. No express or implied waiver by the Lessor of any Default or Event of Default shall in any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any future or subsequent Default or Event of Default.

​

SECTION 18.5.    Limitation of Recourse Liability.

​

(a)        Notwithstanding anything set forth herein or in the other Operative Documents to the contrary with respect to the Lessee’s obligations to pay the Lease Balance under this Article XVIII, the Lessor shall have full recourse to the Leased Property, the other Lessee Collateral and the proceeds thereof and to any non-Cubic Person. However, recourse to the Lessee for such payment obligation prior to the Base Term Commencement Date shall be limited as follows:

​

(i)         upon a termination of this Lease caused by or arising out of an Event of Loss or an Event of Taking if caused by a Force Majeure Event during the Construction Period, the Lessee’s indemnification liability under Section 7.1(f)(i)(B)(1) of the Participation Agreement shall remain in effect, but so long as no Specified Event has occurred there shall be no other recourse to the Lessee;

​

(ii)        upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default caused by or arising out of a Specified Event, or upon a termination of this Lease caused by or arising out of any Specified Event, the Lessee shall be obligated to the full extent of its payment obligations under the Operative Documents; and

​

(iii)       in any other case, the Lessee’s payment obligation shall be limited to an amount not to exceed the Construction Recourse Amount, provided, that this limitation shall not affect the Lessee’s indemnification liability under Section 7.1(f)(i)(B)(1) of the Participation Agreement.

​

(b)        Concurrently with the payment of any amounts set forth in Section 18.5(a) above and other amounts then owing, the Lessee shall, if requested by the Lessor, relinquish possession of the Leased Property, in the condition required by this Lease, subject only to Permitted Liens described in clauses (a) (but excluding any such rights and interests of the Lessee referenced therein) and (b) of the definition thereof, if the Lessor requests, convey by deed all of the Lessee’s right, title and interest, if any, in and to the Leased Property or any part thereof to the Lessor or a party designated by the Lessor, subject only to Permitted Liens described in clauses (a) (but excluding any such rights and interests of the Lessee referenced therein) and (b) of the definition thereof. The foregoing limitation on recourse to the Lessee will not apply on or after the Base Term Commencement Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation on recourse to other assets of the Lessee, (1) the Lessor shall have the right to proceed against the Leased Property and to exercise any and all rights and remedies under the Security Documents and to sell or lease the Leased Property (or any parts thereof) and to recover the remaining outstanding Lease Balance and all other amounts due and owing hereunder from the proceeds of any sale, lease or other disposition thereof, and (2) subject to Section 7.1(f) of the Participation Agreement, each Indemnitee shall

The obligations of the Lessee under this Section 18.6 shall survive the termination of this Lease.

In the event the Lessee receives any bid, the Lessee shall within five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof and, at least twenty (20) Business Days prior to the Return Date, certify to the Lessor in writing the amount and terms of such bid and the name and address of the party (provided, such party shall not be (x) the Lessee or any Affiliate of the Lessee, or (y) any Person with whom the Lessee has an understanding or arrangement regarding their future use, possession or ownership of the Leased Property or the Lessor’s other rights, title and interest in and to the Leased Property, unless, in the case of the foregoing subsections (x) or (y) the sum of (i) the Sale Proceeds pursuant to a proposed bid which the Lessee desires to accept plus (ii) the Return Price Recourse Deficiency Amount (as set forth in the Lease Supplement hereto) plus (iii) any amount payable pursuant to Section 7.7 of the Participation Agreement is equal to or greater than the Lease Balance; provided further, such party may be the Lessor, any Affiliate thereof, or any other Person contacted by the Lessor (other than as referenced in the foregoing subsections (x) or (y))) submitting such bid, and the Lessee and any ground Lessee or sublessee shall confirm in writing both to the Lessor and to the bidder that it will

​

​

34

​

​

surrender and vacate the Facility and take such reasonable steps as may be required to grant to the bidder the Third Party Ground Lease on or before the Return Date.

​

If the sum of (i) the Sale Proceeds pursuant to a proposed bid which the Lessee desires to accept plus (ii) the Return Price Recourse Deficiency Amount plus (iii) any amount payable pursuant to Section 7.7 of the Participation Agreement is equal to or greater than the Lease Balance, then the Lessee shall determine and accept the winning bid; otherwise, the Lessor shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to consent to such sale and the Lessor shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion to accept or reject any bid so presented by the Lessee to the extent any portion of its Lessor Investment would remain unpaid. Unless pursuant to the terms of the bid submitted, the Sale Proceeds shall exceed the aggregate outstanding Lease Balance as of the Return Date, any Participant may submit a bid to the Lessee not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Return Date. As non-exclusive selling agent, Lessee’s expenses and the out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lessor and each other Participant in connection with any such bidding and sale process pursuant to this Section 22.1 as well as all costs and expenses incurred by any party (including a buyer or potential buyer) to the extent the Lessor and the Lessee have agreed to such payment to place the Leased Property and the Site in the condition required by Section 9.1, shall be deducted from the Sale Proceeds.

​

(b)        On or before the Return Date, (i) the Lessee shall (a) prepare, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the lessee under the Ground Lease or Third Party Ground Lease an acknowledgement that the Facility and other improvements on the Site shall not revert to the Ground Lessor until the expiration or termination of the Third Party Ground Lease or the Ground Lease, (b) transfer all of the Lessee’s right, title and interest in and to the Leased Property hereunder, to the extent required by the bidder, if any, which shall have submitted the bid (if any) accepted pursuant to Section 22.1(a), in the same manner and in the same condition and otherwise in accordance with all of the terms of this Lease; and (c) if applicable, prepare, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the purchaser of the Facility under Section 22.1(a), a Third Party Ground Lease and the Additional Easement; (ii) subject to the prior or current payment by the Lessee of all amounts due under clause (iii) of this sentence, the Lessor shall comply with any conditions to transfer set forth in Section 22.2 and the transfer provisions of Section 23.11 in order to transfer its interests in the Leased Property for cash to such bidder; (iii) the Lessee, as non- exclusive selling agent, shall simultaneously pay to the Lessor all of the amounts required pursuant to Section 22.3; (iv) after payment in full of all amounts owing to the Lessor hereunder and under the terms of the bid, this Lease shall terminate; and (v) subject to the conditions set forth in subsection (d) below, at least thirty (30) days prior to the Return Date, Lessor and Lessee shall enter into the Additional Easement; provided, however, that any return of the Leased Property under a Return Option shall be conditioned upon the absence of any Default or Event of Default on the Return Date (in which case, this subsection will not apply and the Lessee shall be responsible for the Lease Balance (and, in the case where the Lease Balance is paid, the Lessor shall convey to the Lessee or its designee the Leased Property in accordance with Section 23.11)). Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Participant shall have any responsibility for procuring any purchaser; provided, however, that the Lessor and its designees may, at the direction of the Required Participants, engage in activities to market and sell the Leased Property so long as such activities do not conflict with Lessee’s remarketing activities. Any such activities undertaken by the Lessor pursuant to this Section 22.1 shall be at the Lessee’s sole cost and expense (which shall be deducted from the Sale Proceeds in accordance with the foregoing) and shall not change the

​

​

35

​

​

Lessee’s obligations, as non-exclusive selling agent, under this Section 22.1 or during the Extended Remarketing Period (as defined in Section 22.4) to use commercially reasonable efforts, as non-exclusive selling agent, to sell the Leased Property in accordance with the requirements of this Article XXII.

​

(c)        On the Return Date, the Lessor or any purchaser of the Leased Property, if sold, shall pay to the Lessee the Fair Market Rental Value of the Site subject to the Ground Lease or Third Party Ground Lease for the remainder of the term of the Ground Lease or the term of the Third Party Ground Lease, commencing on the Lease Expiration Date. Such amount shall not affect the calculation of any other amount owed by any party to the Operative Documents and shall be paid by wire transfer to the Lessee at such place as the Lessee shall specify in writing to the Lessor pursuant to Schedule 11 to the Participation Agreement. The term “Fair Market Rental Value of the Site” means the value for the Site that would be obtained in an arm’s-length transaction for the leasing of such portion of the Site for the remainder of the term of the Ground Lease or the term of the Third Party Ground Lease, between an informed and willing lessee-user (other than a lessee currently in possession) under no compulsion to lease and an informed and willing lessor under no compulsion to lease, as the same shall be specified by agreement between the Lessor and the Lessee or, if not agreed to by Lessor and the Lessee, upon the election of the Return Option, within a period of fifteen (15) days after either party requests the determination, then as specified in an appraisal mutually agreed to by two real estate appraisers, one of which shall be appointed by the Lessor and the other of which shall be appointed by Lessee, or, if such appraisers cannot agree on such appraisal, an appraisal arrived at by a third independent real estate appraiser chosen by the mutual consent of the two appraisers, or if they do not agree, appointed by the American Arbitration Association. If either party should fail to appoint an appraiser within fifteen (15) days of receiving notice of the appointment of an appraiser by the other party, then such appraisal shall be made by the appraiser appointed by the first party. If the two appraisers cannot agree on such appraisal and fail to appoint a third appraiser within fifteen (15) days after the appointment of the second appraiser, then either party may apply to the American Arbitration Association to make such appointment. The appraisal shall be completed within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the last appraiser appointed and before the consummation of the Return Option.

​

SECTION 22.2.    Sale.

​

The Lessee, as non-exclusive selling agent for Lessor, shall, on the Return Date, at the Lessee’s own expense (without right of reimbursement therefor out of gross sale proceeds), ensure that the Leased Property as so transferred is (i) free and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Liens described in clauses (a) (but excluding any such rights and interests of the Lessee referenced therein) or (b) of the definition thereof and (ii) (A) in the condition required by the terms of this Lease, (B) without any parties in possession claiming relief or exemption from judicial execution, and (C) in compliance with all Applicable Laws and Regulations. The Lessee, as non-exclusive selling agent, shall obtain all necessary Governmental Actions and make all governmental filings required by the Lessee or the Lessor in connection with any sale and grant of rights. The Lessee, as non-exclusive selling agent, shall cooperate with the purchaser of the Leased Property in order to facilitate the transfers of the ownership and operation of the Leased Property by such purchaser after the date of the sale or transfer, including providing all books, reports and records regarding the maintenance, repair and ownership of the Leased Property, permitting inspection of the Leased

​

​

​

​

Property by the Lessor, the Administrative Agent and any potential purchasers, granting or assigning all licenses that are assignable and necessary for the operation of the Leased Property and cooperating in seeking and obtaining all necessary Governmental Actions, and otherwise doing all things reasonably necessary to sell and deliver possession of the Leased Property to any purchaser. The Lessee shall also, on the Return Date, vacate and cause any sublessee to vacate the Leased Property in accordance with Section 22.5. As a further condition to the Lessee’s rights hereunder, the Lessee shall pay the total cost for the completion of all Alterations commenced after the Base Term Commencement Date and prior to the Return Date and, subject to the Lessee’s right to use applicable insurance proceeds as set forth in Article XIII hereof, for the repair and rebuilding of the affected portions of the Leased Property suffering a Casualty or a Condemnation after the Base Term Commencement Date. Such Alterations and all such repairs and rebuilding shall be completed prior to the Return Date. Prior to the Return Date, the Lessee (or the independent purchaser) shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Participants and the independent purchaser hereunder a reasonably current Phase II environmental assessment report for the Leased Property (and such other reports that may be required or recommended under such report) dated, commenced and completed no earlier than forty-five (45) days prior to the Return Date and in form and substance satisfactory to the Lessor in its reasonable discretion, from an environmental consultant reasonably selected by the Lessee and approved by the Lessor, certifying that (x) there exists no contamination with respect to the Leased Property that would adversely affect the fair market value, marketability, utility, useful life or functional capability of the Leased Property or have any adverse effect on the Lessor and (y) there are no environmental remediation requirements with respect to the Leased Property, which certificate shall be addressed to each such party in form and substance satisfactory in the reasonable discretion of such purchaser, the Administrative Agent and the Participants. The obligations of the Lessee under this Section 22.2 shall survive the Maturity Date or the expiration or termination of this Lease.

​

Unless the Lessee shall have exercised or been deemed to have exercised its Purchase Option, the Lessor shall be entitled to perform such investigation, including obtaining reports of engineers and other experts as to the condition and state of repair and maintenance of the Leased Property and the Site required by this Section 22.2 and as to the compliance of the Leased Property, such land and the Site with Applicable Laws and Regulations including Environmental Laws, as it deems appropriate. The Lessee, at its sole cost and expense (without right of reimbursement therefor out of gross sale proceeds but, subject to the Lessee’s right to use applicable insurance and condemnation proceeds as set forth in Article XIII hereof), shall cause the repair or other remediation of any discrepancies between the actual condition of the Leased Property and the Site and the condition required under this Lease, such repair or remediation to be completed not later than the Return Date.

​

SECTION 22.3.    Application of Sale Proceeds and Recourse Payments.

​

(a) On the Return Date, in connection with the Lessee’s exercise of the Return Option, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor all Rent then due together with all other amounts due and payable by the Lessee to any Indemnitee. The Lessee also shall cause to be paid to the Lessor, from the aggregate Sale Proceeds (after application of gross sale proceeds to payment of any deed or transfer tax thereon to the extent not paid by the purchaser thereof and payment or reimbursement to the Lessee, the Lessor and any other party (including a buyer or potential buyer) to the extent the Lessor and the Lessee have agreed to such payment for any costs or expenses incurred by the

​

Lessee, the Lessor or such other party in connection with the actions required under this Article XXII, excluding any provision of Article XXII which expressly specifies that the Lessee’s costs shall not be reimbursable out of gross sale proceeds), the aggregate outstanding Lease Balance as of the Return Date (as determined after the payment of all Rent due on such date). If the Sale Proceeds exceed the Lease Balance as of the Return Date, the Lessee shall retain or be entitled to receive the portion of the Sale Proceeds in excess thereof. If the Sale Proceeds are less than the aggregate outstanding Lease Balance, the Lessee shall pay or shall cause to be paid to the Lessor, as Supplemental Rent, on the Return Date, in addition to the Sale Proceeds, an additional amount (the “Deficiency”) equal to the lesser of (x) the amount that the Lease Balance exceeds the Sale Proceeds or, (y) provided no Default or Event of Default is continuing (in which case, this clause (y) will not apply and the Lessee shall be responsible for the Lease Balance (and, in the case where the Lease Balance is paid, the Lessor shall convey to the Lessee or its designee the Leased Property in accordance with Section 23.11)), the Return Price Recourse Deficiency Amount.

​

(b) The obligation of the Lessee to pay the amounts determined pursuant to Sections 22.3(a) and 22.4 shall be recourse obligations of the Lessee, and such payments by the Lessee shall not limit any other obligation of the Lessee under the Operative Documents, including pursuant to Article VII of the Participation Agreement.

​

SECTION 22.4.    Failure to Sell Leased Property.

​

If the Leased Property shall not have been sold on or prior to the Return Date, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this Article XXII, then the Lessee and the Lessor hereby agree as follows:

​

(a)        The Lessee shall pay to the Lessor on the Return Date an amount equal to the Return Price Recourse Deficiency Amount plus all other Rent then due under this Lease and the other Operative Documents or, in the event a Default or Event of Default shall be continuing on such date, the Lease Balance and, in the case where the Lease Balance is paid, the Lessor shall convey to the Lessee or its designee the Leased Property in accordance with Section 23.11 whereupon this Lease shall terminate except for such provisions which expressly survive such a termination.

​

(b)        To the extent that the Lessor has required the Lessee to remarket the Leased Property, at the option of the Lessor, the Lessee shall be required to continue using commercially reasonable efforts as non-exclusive agent for the Lessor to sell the Leased Property in accordance with this Article XXII for the period (the “Extended Remarketing Period”) commencing on the Return Date and ending on the earliest of (i) the sale of the Leased Property in accordance with the provisions of this Article XXII or such earlier date as the Lessor has received payment in full of the Lease Balance and all accrued and unpaid Rent, (ii) the delivery of a written notice from the Lessor to the Lessee at any time terminating this Lease, which notice shall indicate that such termination is being made pursuant to this Section 22.4(b)(ii) and the date such termination shall be effective, (iii) the delivery of a written notice from the Lessee to the Lessor pursuant to which the Lessee notifies the Lessor of its election to terminate the Extended Remarketing Period; and (iv) the end of the twelfth month following the Return Date. The notice given by the Lessee pursuant to this Section 22.4(b)(iii) shall indicate that it is being made pursuant to this Section 22.4(b)(iii) and shall set forth the date of termination of the Extended Remarketing Period; provided, however, in no event shall such termination date occur prior to the ninth (9^th) month

​

​

38

​

​

following the Return Date. On the last day of the Extended Remarketing Period, if the Leased Property has not been sold during the Extended Remarketing Period in accordance with this Article XXII, the Lessee shall also make the payments required under Section 22.4(a), to the extent not already paid under such Section. Nothing in this Section 22.4 shall adversely affect any other rights the Lessor may have to terminate this Lease pursuant to any other Section of this Lease or the Lessor’s right to pursue any remedy hereunder as a result of an Event of Default arising as a result of the Lessee’s failure to comply with the requirements set forth herein including, without limitation, pursuant to Article XVII or the Lessee’s obligation to pay amounts arising under Article VII of the Participation Agreement.

​

(c)        Following the expiration of the Extended Remarketing Period (or, if not so elected by the Lessor, following the Return Date) and the absence of any sale of the Leased Property, the Lessor may sell the Leased Property and require that the Lessee (pursuant to documents reasonably acceptable to the Lessee and the purchaser of the Leased Property) (1) (x) grant a Third Party Ground Lease and grant the Additional Easement, (y) consent to Lessor’s assignment of the rights of the Lessor, as lessee under the Ground Lease, or (z) consent to Lessor’s lease of the Leased Property and the Lessor’s other interest in and to the Leased Property to any third party at such reasonable times and for such amounts as the Lessor deems commercially reasonable and appropriate, and (2) facilitate the transfers of the ownership, leasing and operation of the Leased Property to Lessor or any third party designated by the Lessor including providing all books, reports and records regarding the maintenance, repair and ownership of the Leased Property, granting or assigning all licenses necessary for the operation of the Leased Property and cooperating in seeking and obtaining all necessary Governmental Actions and otherwise doing all things reasonably necessary to convey and deliver possession of the Leased Property to any such Person in order to maximize the Lessor’s opportunity to recover the Lease Balance and the Lessor shall not have any obligation to account to the Lessee for, and the Lessor shall be entitled to retain, any Sale Proceeds or other amounts recovered from the sale or other disposition or lease of the Leased Property following such termination (whether or not in the excess of the Lease Balance). The Lessor’s appointment of the Lessee as the Lessor’s non-exclusive agent to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the highest all-cash price for the purchase of the Leased Property and the Lessor’s interest therein shall not restrict the Lessor’s right to market or lease the Leased Property and the Lessor’s interest in the Leased Property, to retain one or more sales agents or brokers (with the costs and expenses thereof being paid out of the Sale Proceeds, as provided in Sections 22.1(a) and 22.3(a) hereof), or the right of any Participant to submit or cause to be submitted bids for the Leased Property and the Lessor’s other interest in and to the Leased Property in the manner contemplated by Section 22.1. Upon such sale, assignment and transfer of the Leased Property, the Lessee’s possession under this Lease shall terminate; provided that any provisions hereof that expressly survive the expiration or other termination of this Lease shall survive such termination.

​

(d)        The Lessor reserves all rights under this Lease and the other Operative Documents arising out of the Lessee’s breach of any provisions of this Lease (including this Article XXII), whether occurring prior to, on or after the Return Date, including the Lessee’s breach of any of its obligations under this Article XXII, including the right to sue the Lessee for damages.

​

(e)        To the greatest extent permitted by law, the Lessee hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right, and releases the Lessor from any related obligation, to require the

​

​

39

​

​

Lessor at any time prior to the Return Date or the last day of the Extended Remarketing Period, as applicable, to market the Leased Property and the Lessor’s other interest in and to the Leased Property at all or for any minimum purchase price or on any particular terms and conditions. The Lessee hereby agrees that if the Lessee shall elect the Return Option, its ability to sell the Leased Property and the Lessor’s other interest in and to the Leased Property on or prior to the Return Date, and to cause any Person to submit a bid to the Lessor pursuant to Section 22.1 shall constitute full and complete protection of the Lessee’s interest hereunder.

​

SECTION 22.5.    Surrender and Return.

​

(a)        Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, and provided that the Lessee, if so entitled, has not exercised its option to purchase the Leased Property or to renew this Lease, the Lessee shall peaceably leave and surrender and return the Leased Property to the Lessor in the same condition in which the Leased Property existed on the Closing Date and such subsequent date on which the Facility thereon (including any Alterations that constitute part of the Facility) was constructed pursuant to the Construction and Development Agreement, except as completed, repaired, rebuilt, restored, altered or added to as required by or permitted by any provision of this Lease (ordinary wear and tear excepted). The Lessee shall remove from the Leased Property on or prior to such expiration or earlier termination all property situated thereon which is not the property of the Lessor and the Leased Property shall be clean and the Lessee shall repair any damage caused by such removal. Leased Property not so removed shall become the property of the Lessor and the Lessor may cause such property to be removed from the Leased Property and disposed of, and the Lessee shall pay (without right of reimbursement out of gross sale proceeds) the reasonable cost of any such removal and disposition and of repairing any damage caused by such removal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Lease is terminated early due to an Event of Default, then Lessee shall have a period of thirty (30) days to remove any property that is not part of the Leased Property other than such property the removal of which would result in a violation of Applicable Laws and Regulations. The Lessee shall at its expense repair any damage to the Leased Property caused by the removal of such property.

​

(b)        Except for surrender upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term hereof, no surrender to the Lessor of this Lease or of the Leased Property shall be valid or effective unless agreed to and accepted in writing by the Lessor.

​

(c)        Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the surrender and return of the Leased Property to the Lessor pursuant to this Section 22.5, (i) the Leased Property shall be (x) capable of being immediately utilized by a third-party purchaser or third-party lessee without further inspection, repair, replacement, alterations or improvements, licenses, permits, or approvals, except for any of the foregoing required solely by virtue of the change in ownership (other than to the Lessor), use or occupancy of the Leased Property, (y) in accordance and compliance with all Applicable Laws and Regulations including, without limitation, any of the foregoing required by virtue of a change in ownership, use or occupancy of the Leased Property other than to the Lessee, and (z) free and clear of any Lien and (ii) the Facility shall have been Completed. Until the Leased Property has been surrendered and returned to the Lessor in accordance with the provisions of this Section 22.5 and subject to Article XVIII hereof, the Lessee shall continue to pay the Lessor all Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent due hereunder.

​

​

40

​

​

(d)        The Lessee acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any of the provisions of this Section 22.5 may result in damages to the Lessor that are difficult or impossible to ascertain and that may not be compensable at law. Accordingly, upon application to any court of equity having jurisdiction over the Leased Property or the Lessee, the Lessor shall be entitled to a decree against the Lessee requiring specific performance of the covenants of the Lessee set forth in this Section 22.5.

​

(e)        Upon the request of the Lessor, the Lessee shall continue to maintain its insurance policies for the Leased Property, to the extent permitted by such policies, provided that the Lessor pays or reimburses the Lessee for the pro rata cost thereof.

​

​

SECTION 23.9.    No Accord and Satisfaction.

​

The acceptance by the Lessor of any sums from the Lessee (whether as Basic Rent or otherwise) in amounts which are less than the amounts due and payable by the Lessee hereunder is not intended, nor shall be construed, to constitute an accord and satisfaction of any dispute between the Lessor and the Lessee regarding sums due and payable by the Lessee hereunder, unless the Required Participants specifically deem it as such in writing.

​

SECTION 23.10. Survival.

​

The termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 18.1 shall in no event relieve the Lessee of its liabilities and obligations hereunder or under any other Operative Document which accrued prior to such termination, all of which shall survive any such termination. The extension of any applicable statute of limitations by the Lessee, any Participant or any other Indemnitee shall not affect such survival.

​

SECTION 23.11. Transfer of Leased Property.

​

Except as provided in Article XXII, any sale or transfer of the Leased Property pursuant to this Lease (excluding for this purpose any transfer pursuant to Section 6.3(b) of the Participation Agreement, unless such transfer is made after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default) shall be at the Lessee’s expense. Upon receipt by the Lessor of payment in full of the Purchase Amount pursuant to the applicable provision of this Lease (but subject to the proviso in Section 18.1(a)(iii)(B)(1) hereof) (i) the Leased Property shall be transferred to the Lessee or any designee it may identify, and (ii) upon request of Lessee, the interest in the Site granted by the Ground Lease shall be terminated by the filing of the Ground Lease Release.

​

Any transfer of the Lessor’s interest in and to the Leased Property pursuant to this Lease shall be transferred on an “as is, where is, with all faults” basis, without covenants or warranties of title and without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind, other than with respect to the Lessor, the absence of Lessor Liens, and together with the due assumption by the Lessee (or its designee), of, and due release of the Lessor from, all obligations relating to the Leased Property. In connection with any transfer to an independent third party, the Lessee shall, or shall ensure that its designee shall, execute and deliver such documents, certificates and estoppels as may be required to facilitate the transfer of the Leased Property. Any provision in this Lease or other Operative Document to the contrary notwithstanding, no transfer of the Leased Property to the Lessee or to a third party buyer pursuant to the Purchase Option, the Return Option or otherwise shall be made until the Participants have received all Rent and other amounts then due and owing by the Lessee hereunder and under the other Operative Documents and no designation by the Lessee of a third party buyer shall relieve it of any its obligations hereunder or under the other Operative Documents. At or subsequent to the transfer or return of all or any of the Leased Property to a third party buyer pursuant to the Return Option, the Lessee will provide the Lessor with such lien and title searches as the Lessor may reasonably request to demonstrate to the Lessor’s satisfaction that the Leased Property is subject to no Liens other than Permitted Liens as described in clauses (a) (but excluding any such rights and interests of the Lessee referenced therein) or (b) of the definition thereof. Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the other Operative

​

​

43

​

​

Documents to the contrary, any obligation of the Lessor to transfer any assets to the Lessee shall be satisfied by a transfer of such assets to any designee selected by it.

​

SECTION 23.12. Enforcement of Certain Warranties.

​

Lessor hereby assigns, without recourse or warranty whatsoever, to Lessee, all warranties related to the construction of the Facility. Such assignment shall remain in effect until the expiration or termination of this Lease. Lessor shall also retain the right to enforce any warranties assigned in the name of Lessee upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. Lessor hereby agrees to execute and deliver at Lessee’s expense such further documents, including powers of attorney, as Lessee may reasonably request in order that Lessee may have the full benefit of the assignment effected or intended to be effected by this Section 23.12. Upon the termination of this Lease, the warranties hereby assigned shall automatically revert to Lessor or be transferred to Lessee or its designee in accordance with Section 23.11. The foregoing provision of reversion shall be self-operative and no further instrument of reassignment shall be required. In confirmation of such reassignment to Lessor or assignment to Lessee in connection with a transfer under Section 23.11, Lessee or Lessor, as applicable, shall execute and deliver promptly any certificate or other instrument which other may reasonably request. Any monies collected by Lessee under any of the warranties after the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default shall be held in trust by Lessee and promptly paid over to Lessor to be held in trust in accordance with Section 23.13.

​

SECTION 23.13. Security Interest in Funds.

​

As long as a Material Default or Event of Default shall be continuing, any amount that would otherwise be payable to the Lessee under the Operative Documents shall be paid to or retained by the Lessor (including amounts to be paid to the Lessee pursuant to Article XIII or Section 23.12) as security for the performance by the Lessee in full of its obligations under this Lease and the other Operative Documents, and it may be applied to the obligations of the Lessee hereunder and under the other Operative Documents and distributed pursuant to Section 18.2. At such time as no Material Default or Event of Default shall be continuing, such amounts, net of any amounts previously applied to the Lessee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Operative Documents, shall be paid to the Lessee. Any such amounts which are held pending payment to the Lessee or application hereunder shall be invested by the Lessor as directed from time to time in writing by the Lessee, and at the expense and risk of the Lessee, in Permitted Investments. Any gain (including interest received) realized as the result of any such investment (net of any fees, commissions and other expenses, if any, incurred in connection with such investment) shall be applied from time to time in the same manner as the principal invested. The Lessor shall not be liable for any losses on such investments or for any failure to make any investment.

​

SECTION 23.14. Quiet Enjoyment.

​

Lessor covenants that it will not interfere in Lessee’s quiet enjoyment of the Leased Property in accordance with this Lease during the Base Term so long as no Event of Default is continuing. Such right of quiet enjoyment is independent of, and shall not affect, Lessor’s rights otherwise to initiate legal action to enforce the obligations of Lessee under this Lease during the continuance of an Event of Default.
