LEASE
     THIS LEASE (“Lease”) is executed and effective as of the 1st day of
December, 1999, by and between the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, acting by and
through the Administrator of General Services and authorized representatives
(“Landlord”), and TARIFF BUILDING ASSOCIATES, L.P., a California limited
partnership (“Tenant”).
RECITALS
     This Lease is entered into upon the basis of the following facts,
understandings and intentions of the parties (for purposes of these Recitals,
terms used shall have the meanings set forth in the Recitals and Article 1):
     A. The Premises are currently vacant.
     B. The Premises have been designated as a National Historic Landmark, and
are within the area covered by The Pennsylvania Avenue Plan -1974, as amended.
Landlord has determined that the Premises are not readily adaptable for use as a
modem office building. After a public competition seeking proposals for proposed
adaptive uses for the Premises, Landlord has determined that Tenant’s proposal
for renovation and restoration of the Premises as a hotel best achieves a
combination of satisfying Landlord’s historic preservation requirements,
bringing economic and urban vitality to the area in which the Premises are
located and satisfying other public interests in the Premises and the area.
Landlord has determined that this Lease will adequately ensure the preservation
of this historic landmark for purposes of Section 111 of the NHP A (defined
below).
     C. The parties desire to establish provisions which will permit and require
Tenant, subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, among other things,
(i) to design the Hotel; (ii) to apply for and diligently pursue certain permits
for the Hotel; (iii) to renovate, furnish and equip the Premises as a Hotel
conforming to the Hotel Standard and the Historic Preservation Standards; and
(iv) subject to the terms of this Lease, to continuously maintain and operate
the Hotel throughout the Term.
     D. Tenant desires to lease the Premises, and Landlord is willing to lease
the Premises to Tenant, on the terms and conditions contained in this Lease,
subject only to (i) Landlord’s obligation to deliver occupancy as provided in
this Lease, (ii) the termination rights set forth in this Lease and (iii) the
other terms and conditions of this Lease. Landlord acknowledges that Tenant is
leasing only the Premises, and that Tenant is not assuming any obligations with
respect to prior operations on the Premises except as expressly provided in this
Lease.
     E. Following execution of this Lease and in accordance herewith, the
parties intend that Tenant will diligently pursue the design, plans, permits and
approvals for the Hotel, with which effort Landlord shall cooperate as more
fully set forth herein and in the Work Agreement, and as more fully set forth
herein, Tenant shall endeavor to obtain the

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

financing necessary to procure the funds necessary for the improvements Tenant
is required to make to the Premises pursuant to the provisions of this Lease.
     F. The parties desire to enter into this Lease on the terms and conditions
set forth below. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the
mutual covenants and promises of the parties, the parties hereto agree as

construction, demolition or Hazardous Materials abatement work at such time or
times as Landlord and Tenant may mutually agree. After the expiration of the
Feasibility Period, Landlord shall deliver Exclusive Possession of the entire
Premises to Tenant within thirty (30) days after Tenant notifies Landlord that
Tenant desires to take Exclusive Possession of the entire Premises, provided,
that, in no event shall Landlord be obligated to deliver Exclusive Possession of
the Premises to Tenant prior to issuance by Landlord of a notice to proceed in
accordance with the terms of Section 6.4 of the Work Agreement. During the Term,
Landlord also shall make available to Tenant for use in connection with the
Premises any and all permits, approvals, applications, plans, conditional use
permits and licenses of Landlord appurtenant to the Premises.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     2.2. Vault Space. Tenant shall have the right to enter into a lease or
license agreement for Vault Space with the District of Columbia. Landlord shall

necessary to result in Tenant having use of the Vault Space for the entire Tenn.
Tenant shall pay all taxes, rent or other fees for such Vault Space.
     2.3. Lease as Master Lease. The parties acknowledge that this Lease is a
lease of the Premises, with Tenant to retain ownership of Tenant’s Property
during the Term of the Lease. Landlord acknowledges that any covenants which
allow Landlord certain control and rights of approval over Tenant’s Property are
provided only to insure conformance with the terms and conditions of this Lease,
but such covenants do not vest in nor shall they be construed as vesting in
Landlord an ownership interest in such property, except upon the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease to the extent provided in this Lease. Any
depreciation of Tenant’s Property (including any leasehold improvements made by
Tenant) shall accrue to Tenant.
     2.4. “As Is” Condition. Subject to Article 31, Landlord’s obligation to
perform Landlord’s Work, and the other express obligations of Landlord under
this Lease, Tenant agrees to accept the Premises on the Occupancy Date in their
“as is” physical condition as of the Occupancy Date. Landlord represents that it
has delivered to Tenant all material written information, data, documents,
reports, notices and other materials that, to the Knowledge of Landlord, are in
Landlord’s possession and control and that relate to the existence of Hazardous
Materials, if any, on, in, under or about the Land and the Improvements and to
the environmental, mechanical and structural condition of the Land and
Improvements. To the Knowledge of Landlord, except as set forth in the
Environmental Reports, the Premises are not in violation of any Environmental
Laws, and there are no material Hazardous Materials on, in, or under the Land or
Improvements. Tenant acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth in this
Section 2.4, and subject to Landlord’s obligations with respect to Hazardous
Materials in Article 31, Landlord has made no representations, statements or
warranties, express or implied, in respect of the Land and the Improvements, the
physical condition thereof, the income to be derived therefrom, the zoning or
other laws, regulations, rules and orders applicable thereto, that Tenant has
relied on no such representations, statements or warranties, and that Landlord
shall in no event whatsoever be liable for any latent or patent defects in the
Land and Improvements.
     2.5.Landlord’s Access. Tenant shall permit Landlord and its agents,
contractors and representatives to enter the Premises at reasonable times, upon

notice shall be required if not reasonably possible under the circumstances),
which notice may be oral, for the purpose of(a) inspecting the Premises, (b)
showing the Premises to representatives of legislative or regulatory bodies,
(c) inspecting, repairing, replacing, altering, adding to and maintaining the
Steam Line, (d) performing Landlord’s Work in accordance with the

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

schedule to be agreed upon pursuant to the Work Agreement, or ( e) making any
necessary repairs to the Premises and performing any work therein that may be
necessary by reason of Tenant’s failure to make any such repairs or perform any
such work; provided that, except in an Emergency Situation (or other situation
that Landlord reasonably determines requires action before the expiration of
thirty (30) days after notice), Landlord shall have given Tenant a notice
specifying such repairs or work and Tenant shall have failed to make such
repairs or to do such work within thirty (30) days after the giving of such
notice. In connection with any such entry (except in the event of an Emergency
Situation), Landlord shall (i) use reasonable efforts to minimize the
interference with or disruption to Tenant’s or any Space Tenant’s business or
operations on the Premises; and (ii) not exercise its rights of entry with
unreasonable frequency. In any case where Landlord exercises its right to enter
upon the Premises pursuant to this Section 2.5, Landlord shall, to the extent
reasonably practicable, allow Tenant or its designee to accompany Landlord on
the Premises while Landlord is present thereon. Except as provided in the Work
Agreement, Section 7.1, Section 12.2 and Article 31, nothing in this Section or
this Lease shall imply any duty upon the part of Landlord to do any work and
performance thereof by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s
default in failing to perform the same. Landlord, during the progress of any
such work, may keep and store at the Premises all necessary materials, tools,
supplies and equipment. Landlord shall not be liable for inconvenience,
annoyance, disturbance, loss of business or other damage of Tenant or any Space
Tenant or other party claiming by, through or under Tenant, by reason of
exercising its rights pursuant to clauses (c ), (d) and ( e) of the first
sentence of this Section and the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall
not be affected thereby, but nothing hereinbefore set forth shall be construed
to relieve Landlord from liability for its wrongful acts or negligence or the
wrongful acts or negligence of its agents or employees.
     2.6. Access by the Smithsonian Institution. The Smithsonian Institution
(and its successors and assigns) shall have the right to enter the Premises to
inspect, maintain, repair and replace the existing fiber optic security
communications line in the Premises subject to the terms and conditions set
forth in an easement agreement (the “Smithsonian Security Easement”) for such
purposes to be entered into by Landlord and the Smithsonian Institution during
the Feasibility Period. The Smithsonian Security Easement shall be subject to
Tenant’s reasonable approval and shall not grant the Smithsonian Institution
materially greater access rights than those granted to Landlord with respect to
the Steam Line in Section 2.5.
     2.7. Public Access. From and after the date of Substantial Completion,
Tenant shall allow organized tour groups to enter the Premises to tour the
historically and architecturally significant portions of the main lobby and the
courtyard of the Premises at times scheduled in advance by such groups with the
Operator. All such tours shall be subject to such reasonable rules and time
restrictions as Tenant may from time to time formulate; provided that no fees
(except to the extent reasonably calculated to cover Tenant’s costs associated
therewith) shall be charged for such tours without the prior written consent of
Landlord.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     2.8. Signs. Tenant shall have the exclusive right to use the Improvements
and exterior walls of the Improvements for signs pertaining to the business
conducted by Tenant or Space Tenants on the Premises, which signs shall comply
with all Applicable Laws and the Applicable Building Code, provided, however,
that all signs visible from the exterior of the Improvements shall be subject to
the prior approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed.
     2.9.Compliance with Historic Preservation Standards. Tenant shall at all
times during the Term maintain on staff or retain as an outside consultant an
individual who is not disapproved by Landlord (which disapproval may be based
only on Landlord’s reasonable good faith assertion that the selected individual
has a poor reputation or lacks the requisite experience) and who has experience
in the maintenance of historic buildings, who shall be responsible for ensuring
that Tenant has in place and enforces rules and procedures intended to ensure
that the Premises are operated, maintained and repaired by Tenant in accordance
with the Historic Preservation Standards and the Memorandum of Agreement.
3. [RESERVED]
4. TERM
     4.1. Commencement. This Lease, and the terms, covenants and conditions
contained herein, shall commence and be effective as of the Commencement Date.
The Term shall end at 12:01 a.m. on the Sixtieth (60th) anniversary date of the
Commencement Date, unless sooner terminated as provided herein.
     4.2. Lease Conditional on Memorandum of Agreement. Tenant understands that
this Lease constitutes a federal undertaking for the purpose of Section 111 of
the NHPA, 16 U.S.C. Section 470h-3. Subject to the remaining provisions of this
Section, Landlord and Tenant shall each use its good faith efforts to cause the
Memorandum of Agreement to be prepared and executed in accordance with 36 CFR
Part 800. Tenant shall comply with all terms and conditions of the Memorandum of
Agreement. This Lease is expressly conditioned on execution and delivery of the
Memorandum of Agreement by all required parties thereto, but failure of such
condition shall not deprive Tenant of its right to reimbursement for
Reimbursable Project Expenses under the Work Agreement. Tenant shall not
commence construction of the Project until the Memorandum of Agreement is
executed and delivered by all required parties thereto and the other
requirements for such commencement of construction in the Work Agreement are
satisfied. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, the requirement
for execution of the Memorandum of Agreement may be waived as provided in
Section 5.1.5 of the Work Agreement. Each of Landlord and Tenant shall have the
right to approve the Memorandum of Agreement in its sole discretion.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     4.3. Holding Over. If Tenant shall hold possession of the Premises after
the Term with Landlord’s consent, Tenant shall become a tenant from
month-to-month upon the same terms and conditions specified in this Lease for
the period immediately prior to such holding over, except that the Monthly Base
Rent, Percentage Rent and Participation Rent shall be increased to 200% of the
amount of such rent that would have been payable pursuant to the provisions of
this Lease if the Term had continued during such holdover period. Tenant shall
continue in such status until the tenancy shall be terminated by either party
upon not less than thirty (30) days prior notice of intention to terminate the
tenancy, subject to all of the conditions, provisions, and obligations of this
Lease as existed during the last month of the Term, so far as applicable to a
short-term tenancy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant is at any time
after the Term in default under the terms of this Lease, Landlord shall have the
right to terminate the Lease immediately and Tenant hereby waives any and all
rights and privileges, so far as is permitted by law, which Tenant might
otherwise have to the service of any notice to quit or of Landlord’s intention
to re-enter or to institute legal proceedings, which notice may otherwise be
required to be given. In the event Landlord elects not to treat Tenant as a
tenant by the month, then Tenant shall be a tenant at sufferance and Landlord’s
acceptance of the above-described rent shall not in any manner adversely affect
Landlord’s other rights and remedies, including Landlord’s right to evict Tenant
and recover damages in accordance with this Lease and Applicable Laws.
5. RENT AND RESERVES.
     5.1. Annual Base Rent. During the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the
Annual Base Rent for the Premises in the amount and at the times and in the
manner hereinafter specified. During the period from the Rent Commencement Date
until the end of the Term, Tenant shall pay as rental for the Premises, the
Annual Base Rent, in the amount of the Monthly Base Rent specified in
Section 1.1 for each calendar month of each Lease Year, payable in advance on
the first day of each calendar month thereafter during said Lease Year.
     5.2. Percentage Rent. Commencing on the Commencement Date, and during the
remainder of the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, if applicable, at the times
and in the manner hereinafter specified, the Percentage Rent. Percentage Rent
shall only be payable to the extent that the amount of Percentage Rent
calculated during any Lease Year shall exceed the Annual Base Rent payable
during such Lease Year. If the Percentage Rent so calculated is less than the
Annual Base Rent for any Lease Year, then no Percentage Rent shall be due and
payable by Tenant for said Lease Year. Commencing on the Commencement Date,
Percentage Rent shall be calculated on a Lease Year basis and paid in quarterly
installments within forty-five (45) days after the end of each Quarter during
the Term. With respect to any partial or full Lease Year, the Lease Year
installment of the Percentage Rent shall be: (i) the amount, if any, then due
based upon the calculation of Percentage Rent provided in Section 5.2 based on
the current Lease Year, less (ii) the aggregate amount of the Annual Base Rent
having theretofore been payable for such Lease Year.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     5.3. Participation Rent.
          5.3.1. Commencing on the Commencement Date, and during the remainder
of the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, if applicable, at the times and in
the manner hereinafter specified, the Participation Rent. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant’s obligation to pay Participation
Rent shall terminate as of the date of the First Sale. Commencing on the
Commencement Date, Participation Rent shall be calculated on a Lease Year basis
and paid in estimated payments on a Quarterly basis within forty-five (45) days
after the end of each Quarter in which, or after the date that, the Net Cash
Flow for the current year exceeds Cash Flow Level 1, and Participation Rent
shall be reconciled on or prior to the date that is one hundred twenty (120)
days after the expiration of each Lease Year during the Term.
     5.4. Proceeds from Sale or Refinancing. Tenant shall distribute the net
cash constituting Proceeds from Sale or Refinancing as follows:
          5.4.1. First, to Tenant, in an amount sufficient to return to all of
Tenant’s partners, as a group, all outstanding capital contributions made by
such partners to Tenant, together with an Internal Rate of Return of Seventeen
and 3/10 percent (17.3%) on all invested capital; and
          5.4.2. Second, twenty percent (20%) to Landlord and eighty percent
(80%) to Tenant.
          5.4.3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, but
subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 5.4.3, Landlord shall have
no right to any Proceeds from Sale or Refinancing after the distribution of
proceeds as provided herein with respect to the First Sale. In the event any
amounts are placed in reserve or otherwise deducted from Proceeds from Sale or
Refinancing pursuant to clauses (ii) or (iii) of the definition thereof and such
reserved or deducted amounts later are distributed to or for the benefit of
partners (or other equity owners) of Tenant, then Landlord’s share of such
distributed amounts shall be paid to Landlord at the time of such distributions
in the additional amounts which Landlord would have received had such
distributed amounts not been placed in reserve or otherwise so deducted,
together with any interest previously earned on such distributed reserves. In
the event any proceeds of any Debt are distributed to or for the benefit of
partners (or other equity owners) of Tenant, such distribution shall be treated
for purposes of this Section 5.4 as if it were the Proceeds from Sale or
Refinancing. The preceding sentence shall not apply to Debt that otherwise is
deemed a Refinancing or to Debt which is incurred after the First Sale.
          5.4.4. Promptly after the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall provide
Landlord a statement in reasonable detail of Tenant’s calculation of Cash Flow
Level 1 and Cash Flow Level 2 and any related information reasonably requested
by Landlord.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     5.5. Statements.
          5.5.1. Annual Statement. Within ninety (90) days after the end of each
Lease Year, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with the Annual Statement for the
preceding Lease Year. The Annual Statement shall be certified as correct by
Tenant’s or Operator’s Chief Financial Officer. Tenant shall pay to Landlord
with the Annual Statement the amount of any unpaid Rent due and payable in
accordance with this Article 5, together with interest on such amount accrued
from the forty-fifth (45th) day following the end of the Quarter in which the
Rent accrued until paid in full, at the Interest Rate. If the Annual Statement
indicates that the aggregate amount of Rent paid in the preceding Lease Year
exceeded Tenant’s actual liability for such Rent, then Tenant shall deduct the
net overpayment from its next monthly payment(s) of Rent. In addition, Tenant
shall deliver to Landlord such supporting documentation as Landlord shall
reasonably request for the purpose of verifying the calculations set forth in
the Annual Statement.
          5.5.2. Quarterly Statement. Within forty-five (45) days after the end
of each Quarter, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with the Quarterly Statement for
the preceding Quarter. The Quarterly Statement shall be certified as correct by
Tenant’s or Operator’s Chief Financial Officer.
          5.5.3. Statement in Connection with First Sale or Prior Refinancing.
     Tenant shall deliver to Landlord such supporting documentation as Landlord
shall reasonably request for the purpose of verifying the calculation of
Landlord’s participation in Proceeds from Sale or Refinancing.
     5.6. Audit Of Annual Statements. Landlord may, once with respect to each
Lease Year, but not later than four (4) years after the end of such Lease Year,
cause an audit of the Gross Revenues and Net Cash Flow and the FF&E Reserve and
Capital Maintenance Reserve of Tenant for the business conducted on the Premises
to be made by a certified public accountant of Landlord’s selection against whom
Tenant has no reasonable objection, and if any Annual Statement or Quarterly
Statement made by Tenant to Landlord shall be found to be in error such that
Tenant’s payment of Rent has in the aggregate been understated for any Lease
Year by an amount in excess of four percent (4%) of the Rent due and payable in
such Lease Year, then Tenant shall immediately pay the cost of such audit, as
well as the Rent shown to be payable by Tenant to Landlord as a result thereof
together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate. Otherwise, the cost of such
audit shall be paid by Landlord, and additional Rent, if any, and interest
thereon at the Interest Rate shall be paid promptly to Landlord. Each Annual
Statement shall be conclusive and binding on Landlord and Tenant after the date
that is four (4) years after Landlord’s receipt of such Annual Statement. Prior
to the expiration of such four (4) year period, (i) the acceptance of Rent by
Landlord shall neither bar nor preclude Landlord from claiming that it did not
receive the full amount of such Rent for any particular past Lease Year and
(ii) the payment of Rent by Tenant shall neither bar nor preclude Tenant from
claiming that it overpaid such Rent for any particular past Lease Year.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     5.7. Retention Of Records. Tenant shall, for a period of four (4) years
after the end of each Lease Year, or, for such period as an audit or proceeding
relating to Rent hereunder is in progress, keep safe and intact all of the
records, books, accounts and other data which are regularly kept by Tenant in
the ordinary course of its business to establish Gross Revenues, Percentage
Rent, Participation Rent (until the First Sale) and any authorized exceptions
and deductions there from and any other amounts payable to or from Tenant
pursuant to this Lease, and shall, upon reasonable advance notice, make the same
available to Landlord, Landlord’s auditor, representative or agent for
examination, inspection or audit at any time during said period.
     5.8. Contributions To Reserves.
          5.8.1. FF&E Reserve. Within thirty (30) days after the end of each
Quarter during the Term, Tenant shall deposit an amount equal to at least three
percent (3%) of the Gross Revenues attributable to such Quarter into a
segregated bank account established and maintained for the benefit of the
Project solely for the purpose of holding reserves to be used for the repair,
replacement and maintenance of FF&E (the “FF&E Reserve”). The amounts so
deposited in the FF&E Reserve, including all interest earned thereon, shall be
continually maintained in such reserve account until such time(s) as Tenant
deems it advisable in its discretion to withdraw such amounts for use in
replacing, substituting, repairing or restoring the FF&E. Upon expiration or
termination of this Lease, or the entry into any new lease pursuant to
Section 18.8, the funds in the FF&E Reserve shall be the property of Tenant;
provided that, upon termination of this Lease at Tenant’s option pursuant to
Section 7.5 or Section 22.1.2, the FF&E Reserve shall be allocated between
Landlord and Tenant in accordance with the corresponding termination provision.
          5.8.2. Capital Maintenance Reserve. Within sixty (60) days after the
end of the first Quarter of the tenth (10th) Lease Year of the Term, and within
sixty (60) days after the end of each Quarter thereafter during the Term, Tenant
shall deposit an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the Gross Revenues
attributable to such Quarter into a segregated bank account established and
maintained for the benefit of the Project solely for the purpose of holding
reserves to be used for the repair, replacement and maintenance of the Historic
Elements and the Premises (the “Capital Maintenance Reserve”). The amounts so
deposited in the Capital Maintenance Reserve, including all interest earned
thereon, shall be continually maintained in such reserve account until such
time(s) as Tenant deems it advisable in its discretion to withdraw such amounts
for use in fulfilling its obligation to repair, make replacements to, and
maintain the Historic Elements and the Premises in accordance with the terms of
this Lease. Upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, or the entry into
any new lease pursuant to Section 18.8, the funds in the Capital Maintenance
Reserve shall be the property of Landlord and shall be transferred promptly to
Landlord.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

          5.8.3. Tenant’s Obligation to Deliver Statements and to Make Deposits.
     Tenant shall deliver to Landlord within forty-five (45) days after the end
of each Quarter a statement setting forth the amount of funds held at the end of
such Quarter in each of the FF&E Reserve and the Capital Maintenance Reserve and
an accounting in reasonable detail of the flow of funds to and from such reserve
accounts during such Quarter.
     5.9. Deposits and Contributions as Rent. Tenant’s obligation to make
distributions to Landlord pursuant to Section 5.4 and contributions to reserves
pursuant to Section 5.8 shall be deemed an obligation on the part of Tenant to
pay Rent.
     5.10. General Rent Provisions. All payments of Rent, and any other sums
payable by Tenant pursuant to this Lease, shall be in lawful money of the United
States and payable by check without setoff (except as otherwise expressly
permitted under the terms of Articles 11 and 31 of this Lease), prior notice,
deduction or demand, to Landlord at General Services Administration, Post Office
Box 70697, Chicago, Illinois 60673, or at such other address as Landlord may
from time to time designate by notice to Tenant. At Landlord’s option, after
reasonable prior notice to Tenant, payments of Rent pursuant to this Lease shall
be payable by wire transfer or other electronic means to such account as
Landlord may from time to time designate by notice to Tenant. If for any reason
this Lease shall be terminated at any time other than the end of the month
through no fault of Tenant and when Tenant shall not otherwise be in default
under this Lease, Landlord shall refund to Tenant any prepaid but unearned rent
allocable to the remainder of the month during which such termination shall
occur. Upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant promptly
shall pay any Rent (including Participation Rent and Percentage Rent) through
the effective date of the expiration or termination. Any such amounts that
cannot be determined fully shall be estimated at such time and reconciled as
soon thereafter as is practicable.
     5.11. Net Lease. It is the purpose and intention of Landlord and Tenant
that all Rent shall be absolutely net to Landlord without any abatement,
deduction, counterclaim, set-off or offset whatsoever (except as expressly
provided in Article 11 and Article 31 of this Lease and Section 6.12 of the Work
Agreement), so that this Lease shall yield net, to Landlord when due hereunder,
the Annual Base Rent and other Rent during the Term and that all costs, expenses
and charges of every kind and nature relating to the Premises shall be paid by
Tenant. Tenant shall also pay all taxes, assessments, and utility expenses in
accordance with and to the extent provided in Articles 11 and 12.
6. STANDARD OF OPERATION AND USE
     6.1. Permitted Use. Tenant and any Space Tenants will only use the Premises
during the Term for a Permitted Use. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the
contrary, if at any time after the fifth (5th) Lease Year, operation of the
Premises for the Permitted Use is not Economically Viable, then with the prior
consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned, or delayed, Tenant shall have the right to

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

change the Permitted Use. Among the factors to be considered by Landlord in
granting or withholding such consent (which may be conditioned on Tenant
obtaining any necessary approvals of the National Capital Planning Commission or
other governmental authorities) shall be compliance with the NHPA (including
amendment of the Memorandum of Agreement if so required), continued reasonable
public access as required by Section 2.7 and as otherwise practical, consistency
with the criteria that resulted in Landlord’s selection of Tenant as tenant
hereunder, and whether Tenant’s request is reasonable in light of the prevailing
economic and market conditions. Landlord may condition its consent to a change
in the Permitted Use upon renegotiation of the Rent to reflect the economic
aspects of the changed use and amendment of the Hotel Standard to reflect the
prospective use. Tenant shall cause the operation, management, maintenance and
repair of the Premises to comply with the Hotel Standard (as may have been
modified in the event of a change in the Permitted Use) throughout the Term.
     6.2. Certain Uses. Subject to its right of contest as provided in
Section 7.4, Tenant shall not use or occupy, nor permit or suffer the Premises
or any part thereof to be used or occupied for any unlawful or illegal business,
use or purpose, or for any business, use or purpose deemed disreputable or extra
hazardous, or in such manner as to constitute a nuisance of any kind, public or
private, or for any purpose or in any way in violation of this Lease, the
certificate of occupancy or of any present or future Applicable Laws or the
Applicable Building Code, or which may make void or voidable any insurance then
in force on the Premises. Tenant shall, immediately upon the discovery of any
such unlawful, illegal, disreputable, extra hazardous or other use or purpose
prohibited by this Section 6.2, take all reasonably necessary steps, legal or
equitable, including the exercise of remedies available to Tenant under any
Restaurant Leases or other Subleases whose subtenants are in violation of the
foregoing requirements, or under Applicable Laws or the Applicable Building
Code, to cause the discontinuance of such use. Tenant covenants, at Tenant’s
sole cost and expense, to promptly comply with and abide by all applicable
restrictions, conditions, reservations, covenants and other matters to which
title to the Premises is subject. Without the prior written consent of Landlord
in each instance, Tenant shall not apply for any variances, special exceptions
or other changes in the zoning category, land use classification, building
restrictions, parking requirements or the like for the Premises, provided that
Tenant may file applications for any special exception, variance or waiver which
is required in order to complete the construction and Rehabilitation work in the
Premises in accordance with the Work Agreement. Tenant shall not submit its
leasehold estate in the Premises to a condominium or cooperative regime or plan
of ownership, except as approved by Landlord in accordance with Section 6.1.
     6.3. No Use By Public Without Restriction. Tenant shall not suffer or
permit the Premises or any portion thereof to be used by the public without
restriction or in such manner as might reasonably tend to impair title to the
Premises or any portion thereof, or in such manner as might reasonably make
possible a claim or claims of adverse usage or adverse possession by the public,
as such, or of implied dedication of the Premises or any portion thereof.

     6.4. Continuous Occupancy. From and after the date of Substantial
Completion, Tenant (or its permitted successors) shall, throughout the entire
Term, continuously and uninterruptedly occupy and operate the hotel portion of
the Premises (after Substantial Completion in accordance with the schedule set
forth in the Work Agreement) for the Permitted Uses; provided, however, that
Tenant’s obligations under this Section 6.4 shall be suspended during any period
(i) of restoration, repair, replacement or rebuilding undertaken by Tenant
pursuant to this Lease, (ii) of condemnation of the Premises or any interest
therein, (iii) during which improvements are being made to any portion of the
Premises or other space within the Premises prior to occupancy thereof by a new
tenant or Space Tenant, (iv) of capital improvements undertaken by Tenant
pursuant to Article 8, (v) of transition in connection with an assignment of the
Lease, a Sublease of the Premises or space therein or a change in the Operator,

Tenant’s control (excluding Tenant’s financial inability), all of the foregoing
limited, however, to the amount of space that reasonably and prudently in
Tenant’s discretion is affected thereby and for such time as is reasonably
required in any of the foregoing circumstances, or where otherwise prevented by
reason or causes reasonably beyond Tenant’s control (excluding Tenant’s
financial inability) and provided that Tenant shall give Landlord reasonable
prior notice of any cessation or suspension of occupancy or operation pursuant
to this Section. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.4,
after delivery of reasonable prior notice to Landlord, Tenant may reduce the
number of operating guest rooms to fewer than one hundred forty five (145), but
in no event to fewer than fifty (50), in the event that, and for so long as,
Tenant reasonably determines in light of prevailing economic conditions that it
is not economically feasible to operate more than such reduced number of guest
rooms. Nothing contained in this Section 6.4 is intended to limit, reduce or
otherwise affect Tenant’s obligations under Section 2.7.

of the Premises or to have any obligation under this Article 7, until the
Occupancy Date. Until the Occupancy Date (i) Landlord shall perform all repairs
and maintenance and other work necessary to cause the Premises to comply with
Applicable Laws and the Applicable Building Code to the extent applicable to a

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Elements in accordance with Landlord’s currently applicable “mothball”

and its obligation to provide Steam Service in accordance with Section 12.2,
after the Occupancy Date, Landlord shall have no obligation to furnish any
services, utilities or facilities whatsoever to the Premises. Upon the Occupancy

Article 31, Landlord shall have no duty or obligation to make any alteration,
change, improvement, replacement, restoration, Rehabilitation or repair to, or
to demolish any part of, the Improvements, and Tenant shall assume sole
responsibility for the condition, operation, repair, alteration, improvement,
replacement, Rehabilitation, maintenance and management of the Premises during
the Term.
     7.3. Compliance with Laws. From and after the Occupancy Date, Tenant, at
its sole cost and expense, shall comply with the Applicable Building Code and
any and all Applicable Laws, irrespective of the nature of the work required to
be done, extraordinary as well as ordinary, of federal, state, city or other
governmental, public or quasi-public authorities now existing or hereafter
created, and of any and all of their departments and bureaus, and of any
applicable fire rating bureau or other body exercising similar functions with
respect to policies of insurance affecting the Premises, sidewalks comprising a
part or in front thereof or adjacent thereto and/or any Vault Space, or
requiring the removal of any encroachment, or affecting the construction,
maintenance, use or occupation of the Premises, whether or not the same involve
or require any structural changes or additions, and irrespective of whether or
not such particular use to which the Premises, or any part thereof, may be put.
After the Occupancy Date, Tenant also shall comply with any and all provisions
and requirements of any fire, liability or other insurance policy required to be
carried by Tenant under the provisions of this Lease.
     7.4. Contest of Obligation. Tenant shall have the right, in appropriate
proceedings, at its sole cost and expense, diligently and in good faith to
contest or seek to have reviewed or abated the application of any law,
ordinance, rule or regulation which a governmental or quasi-governmental
authority seeks to enforce, including the interpretation or manner of
application of the Historic Preservation Standards to the Premises, provided,
that, Tenant shall not challenge the general applicability of the Historic
Preservation Standards to the Premises. During any such contest, Tenant shall
have the right to defer its compliance with any such law, ordinance, rule or
regulation upon the conditions that (i) Tenant shall furnish to Landlord prior
notice of such contest and reasonable evidence that Tenant has the ability to
satisfy any costs that are reasonably likely to result from Tenant’s decision to
defer compliance with any such law, ordinance, rule or regulation pending
resolution of such contest, (ii) no such deferral shall be permitted pursuant to
this Section 7.4 with respect to actions of Landlord as landlord under this
Lease, but, subject to the other requirements of this Section 7.4, such deferral
shall be permitted with respect to governmental rules or regulations promulgated
by

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Landlord in its capacity as a governmental authority, (iii) no such deferral
shall limit Tenant’s obligations as provided elsewhere in this Lease to keep,
operate and maintain the Premises in good order, condition and repair and in
accordance with the Hotel Standard, (iv) no such deferral shall limit Tenant’s
obligations to protect and preserve the Historic Elements and structure and
major systems of the Improvements (including any parts of the Improvements that
are involved in any then-pending contest, review or abatement pursued or sought
by Tenant), and (v) no such deferral shall be permitted if at any time the
Premises or any part thereof shall be in danger of being forfeited or if
Landlord shall be in danger of being subject to liability or penalty by reason
of noncompliance. Any contest instituted by Tenant shall be commenced and
prosecuted to final adjudication by Tenant as soon as reasonably possible.
Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant in any such contest to such
extent as Landlord may reasonably deem proper (including joining in any contest,
application, request for review, and the like), however Landlord shall not be
subject to any liability for the payment of any costs or expenses in connection
with any such proceeding and Tenant covenants to indemnify and save Landlord
harmless from any such costs or expenses.
     7.5. Certain Termination Rights.
          7.5.1. Uneconomic or Infeasible Costs. Except to the extent occasioned
by fire or other casualty covered by Article 22, or any Release of Hazardous
Materials not covered by Section 31.5 and not caused by Tenant or its agents,
employees, Space Tenants, contractors or subcontractors, if, after Substantial
Completion, the cost to Tenant of making the repair, alteration, addition or
improvement (to the extent of available insurance proceeds and Capital
Maintenance Reserve and, to the extent not reasonably required or prudently
reserved for replacement of FF&E, the FF&E Reserve) would, in Tenant’s
reasonable good faith business judgment, make the continuing use of the Premises
not Economically Viable, and such cost to comply in the aggregate (in excess of
available insurance proceeds and Capital Maintenance Reserve and, to the extent
not reasonably required or prudently reserved for replacement of FF&E, the FF&E
Reserve) is equal to or greater than five times the Annual Base Rent for the
Lease Year during which such repair or other obligation of Tenant shall occur,
then Tenant shall have the right to elect in its sole discretion to terminate
this Lease by notice to Landlord given within ninety (90) days after the
obligation to make such repair, alteration, addition or improvement is imposed.
In the event that such obligation is anticipated in advance, Tenant shall give
notice as soon as is reasonably feasible. Notice of termination given hereunder
shall be accompanied by Tenant’s certificate affirming Tenant’s conclusion that
the cost of the repair, alteration, addition or improvement makes continuing use
of the Premises uneconomic or infeasible to Tenant under the standards herein
specified. Termination of the Lease under Tenant’s notice shall be effective
sixty (60) days after the date Tenant delivers such notice.
          7.5.2. Last Five Years. During the last five (5) Lease Years, if
pursuant to this Article 7 Tenant becomes obligated to make or install any
repairs, Alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises (including by
reason of any casualty) with an

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

actual useful life in excess of the then remaining Term, then Tenant shall
notify Landlord of such repairs, Alterations, additions or improvements and
Tenant shall be obligated to pay for the portion of the reasonable cost equal to
the ratio (expressed as a percentage) which the then remaining number of Lease
Years (or fractional portion thereof) in the Term bears to the actual useful
life of such repairs, Alterations, additions or improvements. Tenant’s notice
shall state the itemized cost and useful life of the item, and Landlord’s
balance as described in clause (ii) below, and shall inform Landlord of its
option in the next sentence. Within forty-five (45) days after Tenant gives such
notice, Landlord shall elect, at its option, by notice to Tenant either to
(i) waive Tenant’s obligation to make such repairs, Alterations, additions or
improvements to the extent that the basic integrity of the Building structures
and systems will not be adversely affected and the cost thereof exceeds the
available insurance proceeds and Capital Maintenance Reserve, or (ii) to be
obligated to pay for the balance of the cost of such repairs, Alterations,
additions or improvements in excess of available insurance proceeds and Capital
Maintenance Reserve. In the event Landlord does not give said notice, Landlord
shall be deemed to have elected option (i). In any event Tenant shall not cause
or permit waste and shall preserve the integrity of the Building structures and
systems, and shall preserve and reasonably protect the Historic Elements.
          7.5.3. Distribution of Insurance Proceeds and Reserves. In the event
of any termination of this Lease pursuant to this Section 7.5 or Article 31, all
insurance proceeds made available by the Leasehold Mortgage, the Capital
Maintenance Reserve, and the FF&E Reserve, shall be distributed in accordance
with the last two sentences of Section 22.1.2.
8. ALTERATIONS
     8.1. Right To Make Alterations.
          8.1.1. Tenant shall not make any Alterations without the prior
approval or consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld;
provided that Tenant shall have the right without Landlord’s consent to make
Immaterial Alterations unless an uncured Event of Default then exists.
          8.1.2. All Alterations shall constitute Tenant’s Property and shall
remain the property of Tenant during the Term, subject to Article 9. All
Alterations, when completed, shall be consistent with the Hotel Standard and the
Historic Preservation Standards and shall be of such a character as not to
materially reduce the value and utility of the Premises below its value and
utility immediately before construction of such Alterations was commenced.
          8.1.3. The provisions of Section 6.3 of the Work Agreement (applicable
to the initial Rehabilitation) shall apply to all Alterations.
     8.2. Additional Requirements. No Alterations shall be undertaken until
Tenant shall have delivered to Landlord insurance policies or certificates
therefor issued by responsible insurers, bearing notations evidencing the
payment of premiums or

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

accompanied by other evidence satisfactory to Landlord of such payments, for
workers’ compensation and employer liability insurance covering all Persons
employed in connection with the Alterations and with respect to whom death or
bodily injury claims could be asserted against Landlord, Tenant or the Premises,
and, unless the liability insurance then in effect with respect to the Premises
shall cover the risk, owner’s protective liability insurance expressly covering
the additional hazards resulting from the Alterations with limits not less than
those, and otherwise subject to the same conditions and requirements set forth
in, Article 13 with respect to the liability insurance required thereunder. If
under the provisions of any fire, liability or other insurance policy or
policies then covering the Premises or any part thereof any consent to such
Alterations of said insurance company or companies issuing such policy or
policies shall be required to continue and keep such policy or policies in full
force and effect, Tenant shall obtain such consents and pay any additional
premiums or charges therefor that may be imposed by said insurance company or
companies. In connection with any Alterations involving demolition or
substantial construction or reconstruction, Tenant shall maintain and provide to
Landlord at Tenant’s sole cost and expense builder’s risk insurance required to
be maintained by Tenant under the terms of the Work Agreement during the
original construction and Rehabilitation work in accordance with the Work
Agreement. All Alterations shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner
in accordance with the Applicable Building Code and all Applicable Laws.
Promptly upon completion of any Alterations that would require a Building Permit
if the Premises were privately owned, at Tenant’s cost, Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord record drawings as required by Section 6.4.3 of the Work Agreement as
to the initial construction of the Project.
9. TENANT’S PROPERTY, ETC.
     9.1. Ownership of Tenant’s Property. Subject to Article 8 and the other
provisions of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to install, remove, alter,
add to, and/or replace in or upon the Premises such improvements, fixtures and
personal property as Tenant deems desirable. All improvements, fixtures and
personal property installed by Tenant in or upon the Premises, whether or not
affixed to the Premises, shall remain the property of Tenant until expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease. Upon expiration of the Term, or earlier
termination of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right (but shall not be
required) to remove all or any Excluded Fixtures, in which event Tenant shall
retain its title thereto provided, however, that Tenant shall repair all damage
caused by such removal at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Title to all of
Tenant’s Property not removed by Tenant shall automatically vest in Landlord
upon expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease.
     9.2. Leased and Financed Property, Etc. Landlord acknowledges that Tenant
or a Space Tenant may lease from or finance with an unrelated third party all or
a portion of the personal property or Excluded Fixtures that are removable
without material damage to the Premises. Upon request, Landlord shall promptly
execute and deliver any confirmations or acknowledgments that may reasonably be
required by any existing or proposed lessor or financing party in connection
with the leasing or financing of any such

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

property, which shall include only: (1) an acknowledgment by Landlord that any
claims, title or interest that such lessor or financing party may have in,
against or with respect to any such fixtures, equipment or other personal
property are superior to any statutory right of distraint or other statutory
lien of Landlord with respect thereto; and (2) the agreement, acknowledgement
and confirmation of Landlord that, as between Landlord and such lessor or
financing party, the lessor or financing party shall have the right to remove
any or all of the leased or financed property from the Premises at any time or
times at or prior to the expiration or termination of the Term, subject to
reasonable requirements of Landlord to protect the balance of the Premises. Upon
request by Tenant, Landlord shall enter into an agreement with any such lessor
or financing party to provide it with copies of notices of defaults that might
give rise to termination of this Lease.
     9.3. Name of Building; Intellectual Property. Landlord hereby grants to
Tenant for the Term, to the extent Landlord has ownership rights in the IP
Rights and the undersigned signatory has the right to make this grant for
Landlord, a royalty-free nonexclusive license to use the IP Rights and to
license to others the right to use the IP Rights in connection with Tenant’s use
of the Premises, subject to Landlord’s reservation of the right to use the IP
rights in books or other media describing Landlord’s real property holdings
generally and not in competition with Tenant or its licensees of such IP Rights.
Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to use any name, including
any name included in the IP Rights, in connection with the Hotel and any
restaurant, business or other concession located in or on the Premises. Tenant
shall have no obligation to use any name included in the IP Rights.
10. MECHANICS’ LIENS
     10.1. No Liens. If any mechanic’s lien or other lien, charge, or order for
the payment of money shall be filed against the Premises or Landlord’s
reversionary interest in the Land or Improvements, Tenant shall, at its own cost
and expense, cause such lien, charge, or order to be discharged of record by
payment, deposit, bond, order of a court of competent jurisdiction or other
means within thirty (30) days after notice of the filing thereof. If any
mechanic’s or other lien shall at any time be filed against Landlord’s
reversionary interest in the Land or Improvements for work performed by or for
Tenant, and Tenant fails to have the lien discharged in the same manner as
provided above, and if such lien shall continue for an additional thirty
(30) days after notice by Landlord to Tenant, then, in addition to any other
right or remedy, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same
either by paying or bonding off of record the amount claimed to be due, and any
amount so paid or incurred by Landlord with all costs and expenses incurred by
Landlord in connection therewith, together with interest at the Default Rate
accruing from the date(s) of Landlord’s payment(s), shall be paid by Tenant to
Landlord on demand.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     10.2. No Consent of Landlord. Nothing in this Lease shall be deemed or
construed in any way as constituting the consent or request of Landlord, express
or implied by inference or otherwise, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer
or materialman for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any
materials for any specific improvement, alteration to or repair of the Premises
or any part thereof. Notice is hereby given, and Tenant shall cause all
construction agreements pertaining to the Land or Improvements to provide that
Landlord shall not be liable for any work performed or to be performed at the
Premises for Tenant or any subtenant or for any materials furnished or to be
furnished at the Premises for any of the foregoing, and that no mechanic’s or
other lien for such work or materials shall attach to or affect the estate of
Landlord in and to the Land or Improvements.
     10.3. Notice of Liens. Should any lien be filed against the Land or
Improvements or should any action of any character affecting the title thereto
be commenced, each party hereto shall give to the other party notice thereof as
soon as notice of such lien or action comes to the knowledge of the notifying
party.
11. TAXES
     11.1. Real Property Taxes. Landlord currently pays no Real Property Taxes
and makes no payments in lieu of such taxes to the District of Columbia or any
other jurisdiction based upon its interest in the Land and Improvements. Tenant
shall not, directly or indirectly, voluntarily agree to pay any such Real
Property Taxes or to make payments in lieu of such Real Property Taxes to the
District of Columbia or any other jurisdiction or otherwise consent to the
imposition of Real Property Taxes. Payment by Tenant of a real property tax bill
presented by the District of Columbia shall not be deemed a voluntary agreement
to pay, but shall be subject to Landlord’s right to contest pursuant to
Section 11.6. Tenant shall give Landlord prompt notice of any real property tax
assessment or bill indicating that the District of Columbia intends to tax the
Premises or Tenant’s interest therein. Subject to the third (3rd) preceding
sentence, if the Land or Improvements are or become subject to Real Property
Taxes during the Term, for any reason whatsoever, such taxes or payments shall
be the responsibility of Landlord; provided that Landlord’s obligations to pay
such amounts shall be limited to available appropriated funds of Landlord. To
the extent that funds are not available for Landlord to make such payments,
(A) Tenant shall pay such taxes or other payments as and when due and payable
and (B) Tenant shall have the right to deduct the amount of such payments
(together with interest at the Interest Rate on the outstanding amount of such
payments from the date such payments are made by Tenant) from the next and
succeeding payments of Rent owed by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease until
exhausted.
     11.2. BID Taxes. Landlord currently does not pay BID Taxes applicable to
the Land and Improvements. Tenant shall be obligated, throughout the Term, to
pay BID Taxes to the extent the same are assessed against the Land, Premises
and/or Improvements or are otherwise due and payable.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     11.3. Personal Property Taxes. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.4,
Tenant shall pay, prior to delinquency, all Personal Property Taxes levied
during the Term to the full extent of installments falling due during or with
respect to the Term and shall deliver to Landlord within ten (10) days after
payment thereof copies of the receipted bills or receipts endorsed by the tax
collecting authority showing such payment to have been made before the date such
payment would become delinquent. All such Personal Property Taxes shall be paid
by Tenant directly to the levying authority. Landlord shall cooperate with
Tenant in endeavoring to cause all bills for Personal Property Taxes payable by
Tenant hereunder to be sent directly to Tenant, but in the event the tax
collection agency will not so agree, then Landlord shall promptly tender the
same to Tenant upon receipt of any such bills.
     11.4. Election To Pay In Installments. If, by law, any taxes payable by
Tenant hereunder may be paid in installments at the option of the taxpayer,
Tenant may exercise such option to pay the same in installments as they may
become due during the Term, so long as all such installment payments are
required to be made prior to the expiration of the Tenn.
     11.5. Proration. All taxes required to be paid by Tenant under this
Article 11, when paid for an annual or other specified term, shall be
apportioned for the first and last tax years therefor in the Term, so that the
portion payable by Tenant in respect of each of such tax years shall be only
such proportion as the number of days covered by the Term in such respective tax
years bears to the total number of days for which such payment is payable.
     11.6. Contest. Landlord and Tenant shall each have the right, at its own
cost and expense and in its own name or in the name of the other party, to seek
to contest or have reviewed, reduced, equalized, or abated any assessment
related to taxes payable by the contesting party. The contesting party shall
post security in the amount of such contested taxes or assessments, plus
estimated costs, penalties and interest, or post a bond of a responsible
corporate surety in such amount or such higher amount as is required to stay the
obligation to pay such taxes and prevent any penalty. Upon the termination of
such proceedings, the contesting party shall pay the amount of such taxes or
part thereof as finally determined in such proceedings, together with any costs,
fees (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements), interest, penalties or other
liabilities in connection therewith, and upon such payment, the contesting party
may cause the release of any bond or other security given in connection with
such contest. If at any time payment of the whole or any part of such tax or
assessment shall become necessary in order to prevent the termination by sale or
otherwise of the right of redemption of the Premises, or to prevent eviction of
Landlord or Tenant because of nonpayment, then the contesting party shall timely
pay to the taxing authority the amount necessary to prevent such termination or
eviction and deliver to the non-contesting party within ten (10) days thereafter
receipted bills or receipts endorsed by the tax collecting authority, and
failing such delivery the non-contesting party shall have the right so to pay
the taxing authority. Any such payment, and any costs or expenses incurred by
the non-contesting party in connection

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

therewith (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) shall be promptly paid by the
contesting party within twenty (20) days after demand by the non-contesting
party. If required, and provided that the non-contesting party shall incur no
risk or cost, the noncontesting party shall join with the contesting party and
execute any and all documents, applications, petitions, instruments, or
complaints necessary for any such protest, contest, review or other proceedings,
desired or conducted by the contesting party; provided that upon final
determination of any such contest, review or proceedings, the contesting party
shall pay the taxes for which it is responsible hereunder as they are finally
determined and all penalties, interests, costs, and expenses which may thereupon
be due or have resulted therefrom. Any Real Property Taxes payable by Tenant as
contesting party under this Section 11.6 shall be subject to reimbursement by
Landlord as and to the extent provided in Section 11.1.
12. UTILITIES AND SERVICES
     12.1. Tenant Pays For Its Utilities. Tenant shall pay one hundred percent
(100%) of all charges incurred by Tenant or which would be a charge or lien
against the Premises for electric, gas, heat, water, telephone or other
communication service, or other utilities or services provided to the Premises
during the Term.
     12.2. Steam Service. During the Term, Landlord shall cause the Premises to
be served with steam by the Steam Line for the purpose of providing hot water
and heat to the Premises in accordance with the standards, terms and conditions
to be set forth in a separate agreement to be negotiated in good faith between
Landlord and Tenant during the Feasibility Period, which agreement shall be in
recordable form and shall provide, among other things, that (i) so long as
Landlord provides steam service to any other building located on the Steam Line
in the District of Columbia, Landlord shall provide such steam service to the
Premises, and in no event shall Landlord cease providing such steam service
without giving Tenant at least three (3) years prior notice, and (ii) in the
event that Landlord sells, delegates, assigns or otherwise transfers to a
successor steam provider its rights and/or obligations to provide steam service,
Landlord shall impose on such successor steam provider the obligation to provide
steam service to the Premises on reasonable market terms and conditions.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.2, Tenant shall have
the right, upon prior notice to Landlord, as set forth in the separate steam
service agreement to be negotiated between Landlord and Tenant, to terminate
steam service to the Premises as of the date specified by Tenant in such notice.
     12.3. Landlord’s Liability. Landlord shall not in any event whatsoever be
liable for any injury or damage to any property or to any Person happening on,
in or about the Premises and its appurtenances, nor for any injury or damage to
the Premises or to any property belonging to Tenant or any other Person which
may be caused by any fire or breakage, or by the use, misuse or abuse of any of
the elevators, hatches, openings, installations, stairways or hallways, or which
may arise from any other cause whatsoever unless caused by the breach of this
Lease by Landlord or the wrongful acts

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

or negligence of Landlord or its agents or employees for which Landlord would be
liable under this Lease or Applicable Laws. During the Term, subject to
Landlord’s obligation to provide steam service in accordance with Section 12.2,
Landlord shall not be liable for any failure of water supply, gas or electric
current, nor for any injury or damage to any property or any Person or to the
Premises caused by or resulting from gasoline, oil, steam, gas, electricity, or
hurricane, tornado, flood, wind or similar storms or disturbances, or water,
rain or snow which may leak or flow from the street, sewer, gas mains or
subsurface area or from any part of the Premises, or leakage of gasoline or oil
from pipes, appliances, sewer or plumbing works therein, or from any other
place, nor for interference with light or other incorporeal hereditaments by
anybody, or caused by any public or quasi-public work, unless any of the
foregoing results from the wrongful acts or negligence of Landlord in its
capacity as a party to this Lease, or its agents or employees in their
capacities as agents or employees of Landlord for which Landlord would be liable
under this Lease or Applicable Laws.
13. INSURANCE
     13.1. Tenant’s Fire And Extended Coverage. Tenant at its sole expense shall
procure and maintain in full force and effect from the Occupancy Date and during

customarily insured, to the typical and customary limits of such coverage and
including insurance for Tenant’s Property; (b) all risk builders risk coverage
for the building materials, supplies, and equipment during construction of the
Project; and (c) the improvements and leasehold improvements, in amounts not
less than the full cost of replacement thereof with like kind and quality
sufficient to prevent operation of co-insurance limitations from and after the
date the Hotel commences operations. The amount of such insurance shall
initially be no less than Forty-Five Million Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars
($45,700,000.00); provided that during such time as the Premises remain vacant
prior to Tenant commencing construction work therein, all risk property
insurance shall be maintained in the amount of Forty-Five Million Seven Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($45,700,000.00). At least every two years Tenant shall from
time to time, or upon request by Landlord, notify Landlord of the amount which a
qualified appraiser selected by Tenant and reasonably acceptable to Landlord,
reasonably deems to be the full insurance cost of replacement thereof with like
kind and quality, which amount is subject to the dispute resolution provisions
of Article 28. If Tenant so elects, such insurance may provide for a
“deductible” in an amount up to the amount customarily provided in insurance
carried by Kimpton (or by Tenant and its Affiliates if Kimpton no longer is an
Affiliate of Tenant) but not more than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000),
or such commercially reasonable deductible in excess of One Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($100,000) as may from time to time after the Commencement Date be
applicable. All policies evidencing such insurance (except for business
interruption insurance) shall name Landlord as an additional insured and/or loss
payee as appropriate, as its interest may appear, shall be

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

payable jointly to Tenant and Landlord for use by Tenant pursuant to the
provisions of Article 22. Provided that the Leasehold Mortgagee under any
Leasehold Mortgage has agreed in writing (in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Tenant and Landlord) that insurance proceeds shall be available
for use by Tenant and/or Landlord for the purpose of compliance with Article 22,
and that such mortgagee or Tenant shall pay the costs, if any, required for an
endorsement naming it as such an insured, such insurance may name such mortgagee
or beneficiary as an additional insured and/or loss payee as appropriate, as its
interest may appear.
     13.2. Tenant’s Worker’s Compensation, Employer Liability, Commercial
General Liability And Commercial Automobile Liability Coverage. Tenant at its
sole expense shall procure and maintain in full force and effect from the
Commencement Date, and for the remaining Term: (a) workers’ compensation and
employer’s liability insurance required under applicable District of Columbia
laws covering all Tenant’s employee’s with such deductible limits generally set
by Tenant or by hotels operated by its Affiliates; and (b) commercial general
liability and commercial automobile liability insurance to provide coverage to
the public, or to any invitee, Space Tenant or Landlord, arising out of or
related to the use of or resulting from any accident or occurrence to Persons or
loss or damage to property occurring in or upon the Premises, any perimeter
sidewalks and passageways, including common areas, immediately adjacent thereto,
or in Tenant-operated or licensed vehicles transporting guests, invitees, or
other Persons to or from the Premises, with limits of liability of not less
than: (i) Commercial General Liability (Occurrence Form -Limits Per Location)
-Each Occurrence $10,000,000, Products/Completed Operations $10,000,000,
Personal Injury and Advertising Injury $10,000,000, Fire Damage $1,000,000,
General Aggregate $10,000,000 (such commercial general liability insurance to
also include coverage for employer’s liability, employee benefits liability,
innkeepers legal liability, policy/security guard liability, and liquor
liability), and (ii) Commercial Automobile Liability (Occurrence Form -Any Auto,
Hired Autos & Non-Owned Autos) Combined Single Limit of$10,000,000 including
coverage for garage liability and garage keepers legal liability. The commercial
general liability insurance shall include, without limitation, contractual
liability coverage. If Tenant so elects, such commercial general liability and
commercial automobile liability insurance may provide for a “deductible” in an
amount not to exceed $100,000 as to any portion of the coverage required
hereunder. Tenant’s commercial general liability policy and commercial
automobile policy or policies shall name Landlord as an additional insured. The
amounts provided in this Article shall increase each Lease Year by the
percentage increase in the CPI.
     13.3. Policies And Certificates. All policies required under this Lease
shall be effected under valid and enforceable policies, issued by responsible
insurers licensed to do business in the District of Columbia of recognized
responsibility which hold a Best’s rating of A-X or greater. Tenant shall from
time to time deliver to Landlord and to any other named insured hereunder who so
requests copies of policies or certificates of insurance showing that such
policies are in effect. All policies providing for self-insurance or
“deductibles” may permit one or more of the named insureds to assume the

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

right to defend or adjust claims which reasonably appear to be susceptible of
settlement or final resolution within the limits of the self-insurance. The
coverage provided by such policies shall not be limited, reduced or diminished
by virtue of the waivers contained in Article 14 and Section 13.5. Should Tenant
fail to acquire, maintain or renew any insurance required to be maintained by it
under this Article 13, or to pay the premium therefor, then Landlord, at its
option, but without obligation so to do, may procure such insurance, and any
sums expended by it to procure any such insurance shall be forthwith repaid upon
demand with interest at the Default Rate. Tenant shall obtain written agreements
from each insurer under policies required to be maintained by them, to notify
all additional insureds named thereunder at least ten (10) days prior to
cancellation or reduction in coverage under any such policy to a level less than
that required to be maintained under this Lease.
     13.4. Blanket Coverage. Any policy required to be maintained hereunder by
either party may be maintained under a so-called “blanket policy” insuring other
parties and other locations so long as the amount of insurance required to be
provided hereunder is provided on a per location basis and is not thereby
diminished.
     13.5. Subrogation Waiver. All risk property, and boiler and machinery
insurance policy or policies shall provide that the insurance company waives all
rights of recovery by way of subrogation against Landlord or Tenant. Commercial
general liability and commercial automobile liability insurance policies shall
provide that the insurance company waives all rights of recovery by way of
subrogation against Landlord. In the instance of commercial general liability
and commercial automobile liability insurance, the provisions of this
Section 13.5 are intended to restrict Tenant (as permitted by law) to recovery
against insurance carriers to the extent of such coverage, and waive fully, and
for the benefit of Landlord, any rights and/or claims which might give rise to a
right of subrogation in any insurance carrier.
     13.6. Tenant Insurance Primary. Tenant shall have all of the above required
policies endorsed to reflect that they are primary over any other insurance or
self insurance of Landlord.
14. INDEMNIFICATION OF LANDLORD
     14.1. Tenant’s Obligation. Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless
Landlord for any legal liability, suits, obligations, fines, damages, penalties,
claims, costs, charges and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
disbursements which may be imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against
Landlord by reason of any tax attributable to the execution, delivery or
recording of this Lease or a memorandum hereof.
     14.2. Survival of Provision. Tenant’s obligation to indemnify Landlord
pursuant to Section 7.4, Section 18.14 and this Article 14 shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, but only in respect of acts and
occurrences arising on or prior to the later of the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     14.3. Obligation Not Affected By Failure of Insurance Carriers. Except as
otherwise expressly provided in this Lease or the Work Agreement, the
obligations of Tenant under this Article shall not in any way be affected by the
absence in any case of covering insurance or by the failure or refusal of any
insurance carrier to perform any obligation on its part under insurance policies
affecting the Premises.
     14.4. Tenant to Defend Claims Against Landlord. If any claim, action or
proceeding is made or brought against Landlord by reason of any event as to
which Tenant is indemnifying Landlord pursuant to this Article, then, upon
demand by Landlord, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall resist or defend
such claim, action or proceeding in Landlord’s name, as the case may be, if
necessary, by the attorneys for Tenant’s insurance carrier (if such claim,
action or proceeding is covered by insurance), otherwise by such attorneys as
Landlord shall approve, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at its expense, Landlord may engage its
own attorneys to defend it or to assist in its defense.
15. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
     15.1. Operator. Tenant has designated Kimpton to serve as the initial
Operator, and Landlord hereby acknowledges and agrees to such designation.
Tenant shall have the right to retain any successor management company selected
by it to serve as Operator without the consent of Landlord, provided that
(a) the proposed Operator is not an Excluded Contractor and (b) Tenant provides
reasonable substantiation to Landlord that the proposed Operator, or any entity
or Person which owns a controlling interest in such Operator (e.g., a parent
corporation or general partner) (i) has demonstrable prior successful experience
in operating hotels and restaurants of similar or better quality than the Hotel
and (ii) has the capability to manage a property of historic significance.
Tenant shall provide Landlord with at least one hundred twenty (120) days’ prior
notice of any termination of an operating agreement with an Operator, and with
at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice of Tenant’s designation of a substitute
Operator, which latter notice shall include the information regarding such
substitute Operator as is required in accordance with this Section 15.1. For
purposes of this Section 15.1, Tenant may satisfy its obligation to substantiate
that the successor Operator has the capability to manage a property of historic
significance by demonstrating that such successor Operator has retained a Person
(such as an employee or consultant) who previously has provided facilities
management services to the Project or to other properties of historic
significance.
     15.2. Assignment or Major Sublease. Tenant shall have the right without
approval or consent of Landlord but with fifteen (15) days prior notice to
Landlord to assign this Lease or any interest herein or sublease part or all of
the Premises to one or more Affiliate(s) to the extent not prohibited by the
Anti-Assignment Acts and provided that the Transferee is not an Excluded
Contractor. In no event, however, shall there be more than one Person comprising
Tenant under this Lease at any particular time. Except as so provided, Tenant
shall not voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

or otherwise, assign this Lease or enter into a Major Sublease without the prior
written consent of Landlord which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed as provided in Section 15.5. Landlord’s consent to one
assignment or Major Sublease shall not be deemed to be a consent to any
subsequent assignment or Major Sublease. Following a permitted assignment of all
right, title and interest of Tenant pursuant to this Lease, dissolution of the
assignor in accordance with Applicable Laws shall not be a default by Tenant
under this Lease.
     15.3. Deemed Assignments.
          15.3.1. For purposes of Section 15.2, (i) if Tenant is a Partnership,
the sale, assignment or transfer of any general partner’s interest in such
partnership, or (ii) if Tenant is a corporation, joint venture, limited
liability company or other entity (other than a partnership), the transfer of
interests in such corporation or other entity resulting in a change of control
of such corporation, joint venture or other entity (excepting any corporation
whose stock is listed and publicly traded on a recognized stock exchange),
whether by operation of law or otherwise, and whether by sale, assignment or
transfer of any issued and outstanding capital stock of any such corporation or
by the issuance of any additional stock in any such corporation by sale,
assignment or other transfer, shall be regarded as, and subject to the same
provisions concerning, an assignment of this Lease or Sublease of the entire
Premises, or substantially the entire Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section 15.3 to the contrary, (i) the sale, assignment or
transfer to an Affiliate or to a Leasehold Mortgagee of any general or limited
partner interest or other ownership interest in a partnership, joint venture, or
other entity which is Tenant under this Lease, or (ii) any transfer in the
voting control of Tenant to an Affiliate or to a Leasehold Mortgagee of any
corporation (excepting a corporation whose stock is listed and publicly traded
on a recognized stock exchange), which is a general partner of any partnership
or is a venturer in any joint venture that is Tenant under this Lease or
(iii) the formation of a new joint venture, new partnership or other new entity
by a Leasehold Mortgagee and Tenant (or any Affiliate of Tenant or some or all
of the general and limited partners of Tenant), said new joint venture, new
partnership or other new entity thence becoming Tenant under this Lease, shall
not require Landlord’s prior consent provided that (i) Tenant gives to Landlord
(A) thirty (30) days advance notice of said occurrence identifying Leasehold
Mortgagee, (B) executed counterparts of all instruments effecting said
occurrence, (C) an executed counterpart of an instrument of assumption of all of
the seller’s, assignor’s or transferor’s obligations under this Lease by said
Leasehold Mortgagee, and (D) any such transaction involving a Leasehold
Mortgagee is effected to further secure the Leasehold Mortgage or in enforcement
of the remedies under the Leasehold Mortgage, and (E) no such party is an
Excluded Contractor.
          15.3.2. Nothing contained in this Section 15.3 shall be construed to
prevent a transfer of the interest of any limited partner of any limited
partnership which may be Tenant hereunder, or to require Landlord’s consent to
such transfer.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

          15.3.3. Nothing contained in this Section 15.3 shall be construed as
prohibiting the entry by Tenant into any Sublease including any Restaurant Lease
or to impose any requirement that Tenant obtain Landlord’s consent to any
Sublease or Restaurant Lease, other than a Major Sublease.
          15.3.4. Nothing contained in this Section 15.3 shall be construed as
prohibiting the granting by Tenant of a Leasehold Mortgage that is made subject
to and otherwise in accordance with the terms, covenants and provisions of this
Lease, or the foreclosure (or deed in lieu thereof) of any such Leasehold
Mortgage.
     15.4. Costs and Expenses. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the reasonable cost
of attorneys’ and other professional fees in connection with any request for
assignment or subletting up to One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) (which amount shall
be increased in proportion to increases hereafter in the CPI).
     15.5. Reasonable Consent.
          15.5.1. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay
its consent to any proposed assignment of the Lease or a Major Sublease of the
Premises or any portion thereof. Landlord shall not disapprove any proposed
assignment of this Lease or Major Sublease for reasons that would not be
reasonable grounds for a private Landlord to disapprove such transaction;
provided that in no event shall any Transferee be an Excluded Contractor. Among
the factors to be considered by Landlord in determining whether to consent may
be: (i) the proposed Transferee’s proof of authority, qualification to do
business, and legal status; (ii) the nature and quality of the hotel business
proposed to be carried on in the Premises is in material compliance with the
terms of this Lease; (iii) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord
submitted by Tenant or otherwise available to Landlord that the proposed
Transferee or subtenant has a satisfactory business reputation; (iv) Tenant
reasonably establishes that the proposed assignee has (1) demonstrable prior
successful experience in operating (either itself or a Person holding a
controlling interest in the assignee either directly in having directly operated
or indirectly in having previously retained a hotel management company to
operate) hotels and restaurants of similar or better quality than the one
required to be operated on the Premises by Tenant, (2) sufficient capability
(either directly or indirectly by retaining an experienced Person (such as an
employee or consultant or controlling Person) to manage properties of historic
significance, and (3) sufficient financial wherewithal to perform its
obligations under this Lease.
          15.5.2. In the event the proposed assignee is an entity which does not
itself have either direct or indirect demonstrable successful prior experience
in operating hotels of similar or better quality and thus also does not have a
good general business reputation as a hotel owner or Operator as required by
Section 15.5. 1 (iii) and (iv), the proposed assignee may satisfy Section
15.5.I(iii) and (iv) by reasonably establishing to Landlord’s satisfaction that:
(a) it or an entity or Person owning a controlling interest in it has
demonstrable successful prior experience in operating an active business (other
than as a mere passive investor) or in actively developing real estate of value
comparable to the

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Premises; (b) it has a very good general business reputation in the business in
which it has been engaged; (c) it retains under a written operating agreement, a
copy of which shall be provided to Landlord along with Tenant’s request for
consent to assignment, a hotel management company which has demonstrable
successful prior experience in operating hotels of generally comparable quality
as the Hotel; and (d) such hotel management company meets the criteria set forth
in Section 15.1. Landlord shall approve or disapprove any proposed assignment
within twenty (20) days after request therefor from Tenant together with written
presentation by Tenant of sufficiently detailed information pursuant to
Section 15.5.1(i) through Section 15.5. 1 (iv) above. If Landlord shall
disapprove of any such proposed assignment, such disapproval shall include
Landlord’s stated reasons for such disapproval in reasonable detail. If
(i) Landlord fails to approve or disapprove any proposed assignment within such
twenty (20) day period, (ii) Tenant thereafter makes a second request for
Landlord’s approval of the proposed assignment and (iii) Landlord fails to
approve or disapprove the proposed assignment within ten (10) days after
Tenant’s second request, then Tenant shall have the right to recover all
reasonable additional costs and expenses incurred by Tenant (and to such other
relief as may be available to Tenant at law or in equity) by reason of
Landlord’s failure timely to respond or Landlord’s wrongful disapproval, and
such rights shall arise immediately after the expiration of such ten (10) day
period, without regard to any cure period that otherwise would be applicable
pursuant to this Lease, including without limitation the cure period in
Section 27.2.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order for any assignment or
other transfer to be effective for any purpose under this Lease, the proposed
assignee must assume in writing the performance of all of the terms, covenants,
and conditions on the part of Tenant to be performed hereunder from and after
the date of such assignment or other transfer. In the event an assignment is
approved by Landlord but not completed within one (1) year after said approval,
any future assignment to the approved party shall again be subject to
re-approval pursuant to this Section 15.5. Without limiting the other provisions
to which Section 19.2 applies, any request for Landlord’s consent pursuant to
this Section 15.5.2 shall comply with Section 19.2.
          15.5.3. Nothing contained in this Section 15.5 shall be construed as
prohibiting the granting by Tenant of a Leasehold Mortgage which is made subject
to and otherwise in accordance with the terms, covenants and provisions of this
Lease, or the foreclosure (or deed in lieu thereof) of any such Leasehold
Mortgage.
     15.6. Subleases and Restaurant Leases. Nothing in this Article 15 shall
require Landlord’s consent to any bona fide Restaurant Lease or other Sublease
other than a Major Sublease. Tenant shall give Landlord at least fifteen
(15) days prior notice of any Sublease. In no event may the subtenant be an
Excluded Contractor. Any Space Tenant and its operations shall be commensurate
with the Hotel Standard. Any Sublease hereunder or assignment of this Lease
shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, and the rights of
any subtenant or assignee thereunder in no event shall be greater than the
rights of Tenant pursuant to this Lease. If not sooner terminated, any Sublease,
and the rights of any assignee of Tenant under any assignment, shall terminate
upon the expiration or termination of the Term.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     15.7. Anti-Assignment Acts Limitation. To the extent that any intended
assignment or Sublease that otherwise is permitted by the express provisions of
this Lease, or any non-disturbance agreement or any instrument which this Lease
requires Landlord to execute in connection therewith, violates or is limited by
the Anti-Assignment Acts, Landlord agrees to cooperate with Tenant to avoid such
violation or limitation to the extent legal and proper so to do, by waiving the
pertinent provisions of the Anti-Assignment Acts applicable thereto, but only to
the extent legal and proper so to do.

16.   SALE OR MORTGAGE OF LANDLORD’S INTEREST;       TENANT’S RIGHT OF FIRST
REFUSAL; TENANT’S OPTION

     16.1. Landlord’s Right To Assign. During the Term, Landlord shall have the
right and power at any time and from time to time to mortgage or otherwise
create one or more security interests affecting the fee estate in the Premises,
and to renew, modify, replace, consolidate, extend or refinance any such
mortgage or other instrument, subject, however, to the following:
          16.1.1. Nothing contained in any such mortgage shall give the holder
of any such mortgage (a “Landlord Mortgagee”) any greater rights with respect to
the rights and interest of Tenant under this Lease, or the covenants, conditions
and restrictions set forth herein, the leasehold estate created hereunder, or
any Leasehold Mortgage given by Tenant hereunder, than those of Landlord.
          16.1.2. Unless Landlord would then be entitled to do so under the
terms of this Lease, the Landlord Mortgagee shall not, in the exercise of any of
its rights arising or which may arise out of any such mortgage, or any
instrument modifying or amending the same or entered into in substitution or
replacement thereof, disturb or deprive Tenant or any Leasehold Mortgagee of its
possession or right to possession of the Premises, or of any part thereof under
this Lease, or any right or privilege created for or inuring to the benefit of
Tenant or any Leasehold Mortgagee under this Lease or any Leasehold Mortgage
except to the extent Landlord has the right to do so.
          16.1.3. Any such mortgage shall provide that the holder of such
mortgage, upon serving Landlord with any notice of a material default by
Landlord under such mortgage, will promptly send a copy of such notice to
Tenant;
          16.1.4. Landlord and its mortgagee shall, upon request, execute,
acknowledge and deliver to Tenant, an agreement, prepared at the sole cost and
expense of Tenant, in form reasonably satisfactory to Tenant and its Leasehold
Mortgagee, between Landlord, Tenant and the holder of such mortgage, agreeing to
all of the provisions of this Section 16.1.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

          16.1.5. The term “mortgage” as used in this Section 16.1 shall include
a deed of trust, security agreement and financing statement, collateral
assignment of leases and rent, and other similar security instruments.
     16.2. Right of First Offer. If Landlord shall at any time desire to assign
Landlord’s interest in this Lease, in whole or in part, or sell or exchange all
or part of the Land and Improvements (any such transaction being sometimes
referred to below in this section as a “sale”), to an entity that is not an
agency or instrumentality of the United States, then Tenant shall have the
rights set forth in this Section 16.2.
          16.2.1. Notice. Landlord shall give notice to Tenant of Landlord’s
desire to assign Landlord’s interest in this Lease, in whole or in part, or sell
or exchange all or part of the Land and Improvements and the price and other
essential terms and conditions of a sale which Landlord is willing to accept
(“Proposed Sale Terms”).
          16.2.2. Option Exercise. For a period of ninety (90) days after the
date on which Landlord gives notice to Tenant of the Proposed Sale Terms, Tenant
shall have the exclusive right and option to make the purchase of the entire
Premises in accordance with the Proposed Sale Terms. If Tenant desires to
exercise its option, Tenant shall give Landlord notice to that effect within
said ninety (90) day period, time being of the essence. If Tenant timely
exercises its option, settlement shall be consummated within ninety (90) days
after the expiration of said initial ninety (90) day period in strict accordance
with the Proposed Sale Terms.
          16.2.3. Option Not Exercised. If the aforesaid option is not timely
exercised by Tenant, then Landlord shall be free to make a sale of the Premises
or other transaction on the open market to an outside party, provided that such
sale or other transaction shall be made at a price and upon terms and conditions
not materially less favorable to Landlord than those set out in the Proposed
Sale Terms. A purchase price which is not more than five percent (5%) less than
the purchase price set forth in the Proposed Sale Terms shall be deemed not
materially less favorable to Landlord.
          16.2.4. Delayed Sale. If settlement of a sale of the Premises to an
outside party is not consummated by Landlord within twenty-four (24) months from
the expiration of said initial ninety (90) day period, then the above-specified
procedures shall be repeated.
          16.2.5. Less Favorable Offer. If during said twenty-four (24)-month
period Landlord shall receive or obtain a bona fide written offer acceptable to
Landlord for the purchase of the Premises and the price and other terms and
conditions of such written offer are materially less favorable to Landlord than
those set out in the Proposed Sale Terms, then Landlord shall promptly give
notice to Tenant of the purchase price and other essential terms and conditions
contained in such written offer. A true copy of the written offer (except for
the name of the buyer) shall be attached to the notice. For a period of sixty
(60) days after the date on which such notice is given by Landlord, Tenant shall
have the exclusive right and option to make the purchase of the entire Premises
at

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

the same price and upon the same terms and conditions as are set out in the
written offer. If Tenant desires to exercise its option, Tenant shall give
Landlord notice to that effect within said sixty (60) day period, time being of
the essence. If Tenant timely exercises its option, settlement shall be made
within the same time and upon the same terms and conditions as are set forth in
the written offer. If the option is not timely exercised by Tenant, then Seller
shall be free to make the sale to the bona fide offeror; provided that the sale
shall be made within the same time and at the same price and in substantial
accordance with the other terms and conditions as are set forth in the written
offer. If Tenant fails to timely exercise its option, then the right of first
refusal shall be deemed extinguished upon consummation of the sale pursuant to
the written offer; provided that if such sale is not consummated pursuant to the
written offer, the procedures above specified shall be repeated in all respects.
          16.2.6. Exclusions. The procedures above specified shall not be
applicable to (a) a sale in lieu of condemnation, (b) transfers resulting from
mergers, dissolutions, liquidations, consolidations, reorganizations or
contributions to capital, (c) transfers to parent, subsidiary, affiliated or
related corporations or other Persons related to Landlord, (d) transfers by way
of a sale, gift or devise (including a trust) to or for any Person related to
Landlord (including any successor governmental agency, corporation, department,
division or the like to GSA), or to any transfer from one such related Person to
another. For the purpose of this Section, if the then owner of the Premises
shall be an individual, a related Person shall include a wife, lineal descendant
or spouse of such descendant, ancestor or sibling (whether by the whole or half
blood), a partnership of which such owner is a member, a joint venture or
ownership in common which includes such owner or a corporation, the majority of
whose securities is owned by such owner, or anyone or more of the foregoing
Persons.
          16.2.7. Foreclosure. The above-specified procedures further shall not
be applicable in the event of any sale of the Premises incidental to the
exercise of any remedy provided for in any mortgage of the Premises created by
Landlord, including sale or transfer by deed in lieu of foreclosure.
          16.2.8. Default. If Tenant is in Default at the time Landlord desires
to sell the Premises, then the above-specified procedures shall not be
applicable, and Landlord may proceed to sell the Premises without negotiating
with or offering to sell the Premises to Tenant.
          16.2.9. Non-Assignable. Except for a collateral assignment by Tenant
to the holder of the Institutional Mortgage most senior in lien priority,
Tenant’s rights under this Section 16.2 shall not be assignable or transferable
separate and apart from this Lease, it being the intent of the parties that such
rights and this Lease shall be owned by one and the same Person who shall be the
Tenant hereunder.
     16.3. Sale by Landlord. Subject to the provisions of Section 16.2 above,
Landlord may at any time freely sell, convey, assign or transfer, in whole or in
part, its interest in the Premises and this Lease, so long as any such
transferee shall assume

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

all of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease as modified pursuant to this
Section 16.3, from and after the effective date of transfer; however, if there
are multiple owners of Landlord’s estate in the Premises, they shall designate a
single Person as their agent for purposes of collecting the Rent, receiving
notices or other communications hereunder to Landlord and acting with respect to
any consents or approvals required to be obtained from Landlord hereunder. In
the event that Landlord at any time sells, conveys, assigns, or transfers, in
whole or in part, its interest in the Premises and/or this Lease, to a
transferee that does not have the sovereign powers of Landlord contemplated by
this Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall amend and modify this Lease equitably so
as to reflect the changed status of Landlord by reason of such transfer.
     16.4. Merger. In the eventuality of a transfer of Landlord’s interest in
this Lease to Tenant, such transfer shall not terminate this Lease by merger or
otherwise so long as any Leasehold Mortgage encumbers the Premises. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon any such transfer Tenant shall,
upon the written request of any Leasehold Mortgagee, execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the Leasehold Mortgagee a new mortgage containing the same terms and
conditions in recordable form covering Tenant’s fee interest in the Premises and
securing the performance by Tenant of all of the obligations secured by the
Leasehold Mortgage.
17. LEASE STATUS REPORTS; LEGAL OPINIONS
     17.1. Lease Status Reports. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that within
twenty (20) days after receipt of a written request from the other party, it
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver a certificate certifying to the knowledge
of Tenant or, as the case may be, the Landlord’s Contracting Officer, to the
extent accurate: (1) that Substantial Completion has occurred, (2) that this
Lease has not been modified and is in full force and effect (or, if there have
been modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect as modified, and
stating the modifications); (3) the date to which Rent has been paid;
(4) whether or not, to the knowledge of the party executing such certificate,
the requesting party under this Lease is in default under this Lease, whether
any notice has been received by or delivered to said party of any event of
default which has not been cured, except as to defaults specified in the
certificate and whether or not any event has occurred which, but for the
expiration of the applicable time period, would constitute an event of default
under this Lease; and (5) such other matters as may reasonably be requested by
the requesting party with respect to the status of this Lease and the
performance or non-performance by the other party of its obligations hereunder.
The certificate may not be relied upon except to the extent the certificate
expressly provides that it may be relied upon; Landlord shall be required to
provide for reliance on the certificate only to the same extent as other
certificates then generally being issued by Landlord to parties to lease
transactions may be relied upon. Tenant acknowledges that such certificates
currently issued by Landlord would preclude Tenant or any Leasehold Mortgagee
from relying on them.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     17.2. Legal Opinions.
          17.2.1. Landlord’s Legal Opinion. Within thirty (30) days after a
request by Tenant, Landlord shall cause its Regional Counselor other appropriate
counsel to deliver a formal written legal opinion on behalf of Landlord,
addressed to and for the benefit of Tenant, any Leasehold Mortgagee, any Person
or entity providing financing for the development of construction of any
Improvements, and/or such other Persons or entities as Tenant may reasonably
designate (including participants in any financing arrangements, and the
assignee(s) of any Person or entity providing debt or equity financing), passing
on the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Lease by Landlord and
compliance of this Lease with the NHP A, to the extent that such counsel concurs
therein, which legal opinion may contain appropriate qualifications. The opinion
shall provide that it may be relied upon by all Leasehold Mortgagees.
          17.2.2. Tenant’s Legal Opinion. Within thirty (30) days after any
request by Landlord, Tenant shall cause its general counselor outside law firm
to deliver a formal written legal opinion on behalf of Tenant, addressed to and
for the benefit of Landlord, and/or such other Persons or entities as Landlord
may reasonably designate (including mortgagees or potential purchasers), passing
on such legal matters relating to this Lease as Landlord shall reasonably
request, including the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Lease
and the enforceability of this Lease against Tenant, to the extent that such
counsel concurs therein, which legal opinion may contain appropriate
qualifications.
18. LEASEHOLD MORTGAGES
     18.1. Definitions. For purposes of this Article 18, the following terms
shall have the meanings hereinafter set forth:
          18.1.1. Assignment For Security. “Assignment For Security” shall mean
a transaction or transactions in which Tenant, in a bona fide debt financing:
(a) assigns all or any portion of its interest under this Lease and/or any
Construction Documents or contracts relating to the Project, to an Institutional

whole or in part incurred by Tenant in the transaction in which such assignment,
deed of trust, mortgage or assignment and sublease back is delivered or
consummated.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

          18.1.2. Leasehold Mortgage. “Leasehold Mortgage” shall mean the
encumbrance created by an Assignment for Security, including a mortgage, deed of
trust, assignment or other instrument regardless of the form of the transaction.
A Leasehold Mortgage shall include all of the instruments of encumbrance made by
Tenant in connection with the Assignment for Security, including encumbrances
executed by the assignee, reassignments and related transactions.
          18.1.3. Leasehold Mortgagee. “Leasehold Mortgagee” shall mean the
secured party under a Leasehold Mortgage regardless of the type of interest
created in such secured party by the Assignment for Security under such
Leasehold Mortgage.
          18.1.4. Mortgaged Premises. “Mortgaged Premises” shall mean Tenant’s
interest under this Lease and in the Improvements encumbered by a Leasehold
Mortgage.
     18.2. Permitted Assignments For Security. Tenant shall have the right,
subject to the terms and conditions of this Article 18, to enter into
Assignments for Security so long as Tenant (or a successor taking by assignment
pursuant to Article 15) remains liable to the extent provided for in this Lease
for performance of all obligations on Tenant’s part to be performed hereunder,
and no encumbrance is placed thereby on the Land and Improvements, other than a
Leasehold Mortgage on the leasehold interest created by this Lease or by
equipment or personal property leases. No Leasehold Mortgage shall encumber or
otherwise cover any interest of Landlord in the Premises. No Leasehold Mortgage
shall encumber or otherwise cover any interest in real property other than
Tenant’s interest in the Premises and any Sublease under this Lease except that,
after Substantial Completion, a Leasehold Mortgage also may cover other property
of Tenant. No Leasehold Mortgagee, nor any entity claiming by, through or under
such Leasehold Mortgagee, shall acquire any greater rights in the Premises,
Improvements, the leasehold estate or the Subleases than Tenant has under this
Lease except as otherwise provided in this Article 18. All such Leasehold
Mortgages shall be subject to all of the conditions, covenants and obligations
of this Lease and to the rights of Landlord hereunder, except as otherwise
provided in this Article 18. Tenant shall promptly deliver to Landlord a true
copy of each Leasehold Mortgage and any assignment thereof. Any Leasehold
Mortgage shall provide that the Leasehold Mortgagee shall send to Landlord
copies of all notices of default sent to Tenant in connection with the Leasehold
Mortgage or the Debt secured thereby.
     18.3. No Merger or Termination By Reason Of Foreclosure, Sale or Surrender.
Subject to the provisions of Section 18.5, (i) this Lease shall not be subject
to termination by Landlord solely by reason of or upon the commencement of
judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure of any Leasehold Mortgage, and (ii) this
Lease shall not be subject to termination by Landlord solely by reason of the
acquisition by a Leasehold Mortgagee through a foreclosure proceeding of the
Mortgaged Premises, or Tenant’s interest therein by resort to any remedy for
default under or pursuant to a Leasehold Mortgage or an Assignment for Security,
or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure thereof, provided that upon

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

any such event the Leasehold Mortgagee agrees to be bound by this Lease. No sale
or transfer (whether by corporate merger, consolidation, operation of law, or
otherwise) of the Land and Improvements or the Premises, or any portion thereof,
to Tenant, and no purchase or other acquisition of this Lease, or any interest
herein by Landlord, shall terminate this Lease by merger or otherwise, so long
as any Leasehold Mortgage encumbers the Mortgaged Premises. So long as a
Leasehold Mortgage is in effect, Tenant shall not voluntarily surrender and
Landlord shall not accept a voluntary surrender, cancellation or other voluntary
termination of this Lease by Tenant without the prior written consent of the
Leasehold Mortgagee unless such surrender or termination is on account of
Tenant’s default hereunder and Landlord has first given each relevant Leasehold
Mortgagee the opportunity to exercise its rights as provided in this Article 18
and then subject to such Leasehold Mortgagee rights.
     18.4. Leasehold Mortgagee Succeeds to Tenant’s Interest; Liability of
Leasehold Mortgagee Limited. Subject to the provisions of Sections 18.5 and
18.6, upon notice from the Leasehold Mortgagee to Landlord that it is taking
possession and upon the assumption of possession of the Mortgaged Premises for
any purpose, prior to completion of foreclosure proceedings, a Leasehold
Mortgagee shall have all of the rights of Tenant and the duty to perform all of
Tenant’s obligations hereunder. Except as otherwise provided for in the
immediately preceding sentence, no Leasehold Mortgagee shall be liable to
perform, or be liable in damages for failure to perform, any of the obligations
of Tenant, unless and until such Leasehold Mortgagee actually enters and takes
possession of the Mortgaged Premises or is deemed a mortgagee in possession
under Applicable Laws as a result of foreclosure or other Leasehold Mortgagee
default proceedings or surrender or assignment in lieu thereof in which event
the Leasehold Mortgagee shall be liable to perform all of Tenant’s obligations
under the Lease, after foreclosure, including Tenant’s obligation to complete
the its work. Except to the extent provided above or elsewhere in this Article,
a Leasehold Mortgagee’s liability shall be dependent upon its right to
possession and if any foreclosure or other possessory proceedings are terminated
prior to assumption of possession, such Leasehold Mortgagee shall have no
liability hereunder.
     18.5. Right of Leasehold Mortgagee To Cure Default. No act or failure to
act on the part of Tenant which would entitle Landlord under the terms of this
Lease, or by law, to terminate this Lease, whether as a result of a default by
Tenant or as a result of Tenant’s failure to meet a Milestone Date, shall result
in a termination of this Lease unless:
          18.5.1. Notice. Landlord shall have first given notice (“Notice to
Mortgagee”) by certified or registered mail of Tenant’s act or failure to act,
to the Leasehold Mortgagee of record that constitutes the superior lien on the
leasehold estate created by this Lease (provided that Landlord shall have
received notice of such Leasehold Mortgage pursuant to Section 18.14 below), and
specifying the act or failure to act on the part of Tenant which could or would
give basis to Landlord’s rights; and

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

          18.5.2. Failure To Cure. Such Leasehold Mortgagee, after receipt of
such Notice to Mortgagee, has failed or refused to correct or cure the condition
complained of within the time permitted hereunder. The date of delivery of the
notice to the Leasehold Mortgagee shall be deemed to be the date which commences
the Leasehold Mortgagee’s cure period. Such notice may be given to such
Leasehold Mortgagee at any time regardless of whether Tenant’s cure period for
its breach shall have lapsed. In the event of any breach that can be cured by
the payment of money, the time for such cure period shall be the same period
available to Tenant but not less than fifteen (15) days from receipt of such
Notice to Mortgagee. In the event of any breach that cannot be cured by the
payment of money, the Leasehold Mortgagee shall have a reasonable time
thereafter so long as the Leasehold Mortgagee is diligently attempting to obtain
possession of the Premises and thereafter diligently attempting to cure the
default and subject to the limitations set forth below; provided, however, that
nothing contained in this Section 18.5.2 shall be deemed to impose any
obligation or liability on any such Leasehold Mortgagee to correct or cure any
such breach that cannot be cured by the payment of money in the event such
Leasehold Mortgagee does not obtain possession of the Premises. As used herein,
“reasonable time” shall mean and include both time necessary diligently to
obtain possession of the Premises, if the Leasehold Mortgagee elects to do so,
which election shall be made within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s notice given
under Section 18.5.1, and time to cure the breach. Such election notice shall
state the period the Leasehold Mortgagee reasonably expects it will require to
obtain possession and thereafter to cure such breach, that the Leasehold
Mortgagee intends to diligently obtain possession (by foreclosure or enforcement
of its other remedies) and thereafter to diligently cure all such breaches of
Tenant. The Leasehold Mortgagee shall keep Landlord reasonably informed in
writing, with at least monthly written updates, of its progress in obtaining
possession and curing any such breach. “Reasonable time” shall also include, in
addition to the time to elect to obtain possession, the time during which the
Leasehold Mortgagee may be prevented from foreclosing and/or obtaining
possession of the Premises as a result of bankruptcy proceedings, and time
necessary to correct or cure the breach using due diligence; provided if such
condition is determined to exist, in no event shall such cure period be less
than (i) thirty (30) days after the date the Leasehold Mortgagee first obtains
possession of the Premises, or (ii) if the breach of Tenant is of a nature which
cannot be cured within thirty (30) days, then commencement of cure within such
thirty (30) day period’ and the time necessary diligently thereafter to proceed
to complete such cure. Neither an Event of Default described in Article 25, nor
any other Event of Default that solely arises from the status of Tenant and
therefore cannot be cured by a Leasehold Mortgagee (as opposed to breaches
relating to the condition or operation of the Premises), shall be deemed a
default permitting Landlord to terminate the Leasehold Mortgagee’s possession.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted at law, the Leasehold
Mortgagee need not take possession until it forecloses. In the event of any
Emergency Situation, nothing in this Article shall preclude Landlord from taking
all actions available to Landlord under this Lease in connection therewith.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

          18.5.3. Certain Limitations on Liability of Leasehold Mortgagee.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, this Section 18.5
shall not be deemed to impose any obligation or liability on any Leasehold
Mortgagee to correct or cure any default of Tenant or other condition herein
specified in the event such Leasehold Mortgagee does not obtain possession of
the Premises, but to the extent that a Leasehold Mortgagee elects to undertake
cure of such default or condition pursuant hereto, such Leasehold Mortgagee
shall act with diligence in accordance with the terms and conditions herein
specified. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Leasehold Mortgagee shall not be
obligated to continue efforts to obtain possession of the Premises or to
continue in possession of the Premises and may abandon such at any time in its
sole discretion upon notice to Landlord. Abandonment by a Leasehold Mortgagee of
efforts to obtain possession or to continue in possession of the Premises, or
failure of a Leasehold Mortgagee to cure any default under this Lease shall be
without any liability to Landlord, but immediately upon such abandonment
Landlord shall be entitled to invoke its rights under this Article 18 including
Landlord’s right to terminate this Lease in the event of the failure of a
Leasehold Mortgagee to cure any default in accordance with the terms of this
Article 18.
     18.6. Assignment After Cure. So long as a Leasehold Mortgagee has timely
cured any breach that can be cured by the payment of money or has timely and
diligently commenced to cure any other breach of Tenant as required of a
Leasehold Mortgagee pursuant to this Article 18 and continues to perform the
obligations specifically required to be performed by Tenant pursuant to this
Lease, such Leasehold Mortgagee shall have, subject to Landlord’s rights under
Section 18.6.2, the right to assign this Lease to any Person, upon obtaining
Landlord’s prior consent pursuant to Section 15.5, which assignee shall assume
all the obligations hereunder and go into possession and occupancy of the
Mortgaged Premises for the uses and purposes hereof. Upon such assignment by the
Leasehold Mortgagee, the Leasehold Mortgagee shall be relieved of all further
liability for performance of the obligations hereof arising from and after the
date of such assignment. No act or failure to act on the part of Tenant which
would entitle Leasehold Mortgagee under the terms of the Leasehold Mortgage,
this Lease, or by law, to assume or assign or otherwise transfer Tenant’s rights
shall be effective unless:
          18.6.1. Notice. The Leasehold Mortgagee shall have given notice of
Tenant’s act or failure to act to Landlord; and
          18.6.2. Failure to Cure. Landlord, after receipt of such notice, has
failed to pay in full any amounts secured by the Leasehold Mortgage, within
thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice and the Leasehold Mortgagee shall
have the right during such thirty (30) day period to concurrently pursue all
legal and equitable rights it has against Tenant; provided, however, that
nothing contained in this Section 18.6.2 shall be deemed to impose any
obligation or liability on Landlord to pay such amounts. Upon such payment,
Landlord shall be entitled to any rights of the Leasehold Mortgagee in the
Premises.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     18.7. Continuing Offer. The covenants and provisions contained in this
Lease with respect to the rights, powers and benefits of a Leasehold Mortgagee
constitute a continuing offer to any such Leasehold Mortgagee, which shall be
deemed to have been accepted by any Leasehold Mortgagee, who by entering into an
Assignment for Security and accepting a Leasehold Mortgage or requiring an
Assignment for Security pursuant to a Leasehold Mortgage or by entry or
foreclosure under a Leasehold Mortgage, assumes the obligations herein set forth
with respect to and to the extent required of such Leasehold Mortgagee.
     18.8. New Lease and Survival. If, prior to the expiration of the stated
Term, this Lease shall terminate for any reason, or be rejected or disaffirmed
pursuant to any bankruptcy law or other law affecting creditors’ rights, any
Transferee approved by Landlord pursuant to this Article 18 and Section 15.5 or
any Leasehold Mortgagee shall have the right, exercisable by notice to Landlord
within thirty (30) days after the effective date of such termination, to enter
into a new written lease of the Premises with Landlord. The term of said new
lease shall begin on the date of the termination of this Lease and shall
continue for the remainder of the Term. Such new lease shall otherwise contain
the same terms and conditions as those set forth herein except for requirements
which have already been performed and are no longer applicable. The parties
intend that such new lease shall have the same priority relative to other rights
or interests to or in the Premises, or any portion thereof, as this Lease, and
Landlord shall discharge or cause to be subordinated to such new lease any lien
or encumbrance created by Landlord which is specifically required by the terms
hereof to be subordinated to this Lease or enter into a subordination and
nondisturbance agreement with respect thereto. In partial consideration for the
new lease, the Leasehold Mortgagee (or such designee) shall pay to Landlord all
amounts necessary to cure any breach that can be cured by the payment of money,
and all monetary amounts due under the terms of the Lease from the date of such
termination, rejection or disaffirmation through the date the new lease
commences, and to commence and diligently pursue the cure of any other breach as
provided in Section 18.5. Upon such payment, the Leasehold Mortgagee (or such
designee) shall be subrogated to all rights of Landlord to recover the amounts
so paid from Tenant. From the date on which any Leasehold Mortgagee shall serve
upon Landlord a notice of the exercise of its right to a new lease, such
Leasehold Mortgagee may use and enjoy the Premises without hindrance by Landlord
provided such Leasehold Mortgagee performs all of Tenant’s obligations as
provided in this Article 18 and subject to any right of Tenant under Applicable
Laws. The provisions of this Section 18.8 shall survive the termination of this
Lease and shall continue in full force and effect thereafter to the same extent
as if this Article 18 were a separate and independent contract among Landlord,
Tenant and such Leasehold Mortgagee. To the extent that any new lease or any
instrument which this Lease requires Landlord to execute in connection therewith
or in connection with any Leasehold Mortgage otherwise would be prohibited by
the Anti-Assignment Acts or other Applicable Laws (but not including regulations
relating to suspension or debarment of

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

government contractors), Landlord agrees to cooperate with the Leasehold
Mortgagee (as proposed Tenant under the new lease) to avoid such violation or
limitation, by waiving the pertinent provisions of the Anti-Assignment Acts
applicable thereto, but only to the extent legal and proper so to do.
     18.9. Additional Rights of Leasehold Mortgagee. Any Leasehold Mortgage of
the leasehold estate created hereunder may be so conditioned as to provide that
as between the Leasehold Mortgagee and Tenant, the Leasehold Mortgagee, upon
curing any breach on the part of Tenant that can be cured by payment of money
and diligently pursuing the cure of any other breach as required under
Section 18.5, shall thereby be subrogated to any or all of the rights of Tenant
under this Lease. A Leasehold Mortgagee who, upon default by Tenant, cures any
Monetary Breach and performs the other obligations of this Lease to be performed
by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of Section 18.5 may, if it so elects
in writing, pending foreclosure of its Leasehold Mortgage, enter into possession
of the Premises after having first assumed the obligations of Tenant under this
Lease and subject to the rights of Tenant under Applicable Laws.
     18.10. Multiple Mortgagees. If more than one Leasehold Mortgagee should
request a new lease pursuant to Section 18.8, Landlord shall enter into a new
lease with the Leasehold Mortgagee whose Leasehold Mortgage constitutes the
superior lien on the leasehold estate created hereunder, or with the designee of
such Leasehold Mortgagee. Landlord may, and in so doing shall be without
liability to Tenant or any Leasehold Mortgagee, rely on a mortgagee title
insurance policy issued by a title insurance company doing business within the
District of Columbia in determining which Leasehold Mortgagee’s lien is the
superior one entitling the Leasehold Mortgagee to a new lease under
Section 18.8.
     18.11. Condemnation Proceeds. If more than one Leasehold Mortgagee asserts
a right to condemnation or private sale proceeds payable to, or for the account
of, Tenant in accordance with the provisions of Article 23, then subject to the
provisions of Article 23 and the terms of the applicable Leasehold Mortgage,
Tenant’s share of the condemnation or private sale proceeds shall be distributed
in accordance with the directions of the Leasehold Mortgagee whose Leasehold
Mortgage constitutes the superior lien on the leasehold estate created
hereunder.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     18.12. Execution of Documents. Upon request of Tenant, Landlord shall (and
shall cause any Landlord Mortgagee to) execute and deliver from time to time any
agreement or document which may reasonably be deemed necessary to implement the
provisions of this Article 18, provided that subordination of Landlord’s fee
interest and the security interest of any Landlord Mortgagee shall not be
required. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all reasonable attorneys’ fees
paid to private outside counsel, up to One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) by reason
of any such agreement (which amount shall be increased in proportion to
increases hereafter in the CPI).
     18.13. Notice. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of the name and
address of the holder of the Leasehold Mortgage of record that constitutes the
superior lien on the leasehold estate created hereunder and amount of the
Leasehold Mortgage held by such Leasehold Mortgagee within twenty (20) days
after the Leasehold Mortgage is recorded. Any notices to any Leasehold Mortgagee
by Landlord shall be given to the address specified in such notice or in any
such subsequent notice received by Landlord.
     18.14. Disputes Over Lien Priority. If a dispute arises as to the priority
of the lien of any Leasehold Mortgage, in the absence of any agreement among the
pertinent Leasehold Mortgagees establishing a different priority, a search of
the District of Columbia land records by the title company or agent from whom
the most current owner’s or Leasehold Mortgagee’s policy of title insurance was
obtained (or, if there is no such policy, the priority stated in a current title
report issued by a title company or agent designated by Landlord and legally
doing business in the District of Columbia) shall be conclusive. The cost of
such title report shall be borne by the party raising such dispute. Tenant and
each Leasehold Mortgagee involved in a lien priority dispute shall indemnify and
hold harmless Landlord from any claim, liability, or other out-of-pocket expense
(including reasonable attorney’s fees) arising from or incurred in connection
with each such dispute, and each Leasehold Mortgage shall expressly so provide
for the benefit of Landlord.
19. NOTICE; APPROVALS
     19.1. Procedure. Subject to the further requirements of Section 18.5.1, if
applicable, all notices, payments, objections, consents, approvals, demands,
submissions, deliveries, requests, and other communications pursuant to or in
connection with this Lease shall be in writing and shall be deemed given upon
delivery with a written receipt (or upon refusal of delivery or receipt) at the
appropriate address indicated below either: (1) by registered or certified
United States mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; or (2) by hand;
or (3) by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service; or (4) by any
other method agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant:

Either party may change its mailing address at any time by giving notice of such
change to the other party in the manner provided herein at least ten (10) days
prior to the date such change is effected.
     19.2. Form and Effect of Notice. Every notice (including any notice
requesting a consent or approval but excluding any notice granting or
withholding of consent or approval under this Lease) given to a party hereto
shall comply with the following requirements. Each such notice shall state:
(i) the Article and Section of this Lease pursuant to which the notice is given;
(ii) the period of time within which the recipient of the notice must respond or
if no response is required, a statement to that effect; (iii) if the notice
requests a consent or approval, if applicable, that the reasons for any denial
of consent or approval must be set forth in the response to the notice; and
(iv) if applicable, that the failure to respond to the notice within the stated
time period shall be deemed to be the equivalent of the recipient’s approval,
consent to or satisfaction with the subject matter of the notice. In no event
shall notice be deemed given nor shall a recipient’s approval of or consent to
the subject matter of a notice be deemed given by recipient’s failure to object
or respond thereto if such notice did not fully comply with the requirements of
this Article 19. In addition, unless a time period for approval with respect to
a party’s consent is otherwise specifically provided for elsewhere in this
Lease, a failure to provide a required approval within the time period requested
in the request for approval will not result in a waiver of the requirement of
approval. No waiver of this Section 19.2 shall be inferred or implied from any
act (including conditional approvals, if any) of a party hereto, unless such
waiver shall be in writing, specifying the nature and extent of the waiver.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     19.3. Approvals. Unless otherwise provided in this Lease, whenever
approval, consent or satisfaction is required of either party, it shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. If either party considers that the other has
unreasonably withheld or delayed a consent, it shall so notify the other party
within ten (10) days after receipt of notice of denial or, as the case may be,
within twenty (20) days after making its request for the consent in the case of
an alleged unreasonable delay. Failure to so notify the other party within the
time periods set forth in the preceding sentence shall constitute a waiver of
any right the first party might otherwise have to bring an action or proceeding
to enforce any such provision or for other relief therefor (but shall not
preclude a subsequent request for the same consent). Whenever approval, consent
or satisfaction is required of either party hereto, and such party disapproves,
the reasons therefor shall be stated in reasonable detail in writing. The
consent, approval or satisfaction by a party to or of any act or request by the
other party shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary consent, approval
or satisfaction to or of any similar or subsequent acts or requests.
20. RECORDATION, COVENANTS RUNNING WITH THE LAND
     20.1. Recordation of Memorandum of Lease. Within thirty (30) days after
expiration of the Feasibility Period, if this Lease has not theretofore been
terminated, the parties shall simultaneously execute and acknowledge a
Memorandum of Lease in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, to be recorded by
Tenant at its sole cost and expense among the land records of the District of
Columbia immediately upon full execution of such Memorandum of Lease.
     20.2. Covenants Running With the Land. All of the provisions, rights,
powers, covenants, agreements, obligations, conditions and restrictions set
forth in this Lease are intended to be and shall be construed as covenants
running with the land, binding upon, inuring to the benefit of and enforceable
by the parties hereto and their heirs, successors (by merger, consolidation or
otherwise), assigns, devisees, administrators, representatives, lessees and all
other Persons acquiring the Premises, Land and Improvements, Landlord’s
reversionary interest and/or any portion thereof, or any interest therein,
whether by operation of law or in any manner whatsoever. All of the provisions
of this Lease for the Term shall be covenants running with the land pursuant to
Applicable Laws. It is expressly agreed that each covenant to do or refrain from
doing some act on the Premises hereunder: (i) is for the benefit of the Premises
and is a burden upon the Land and Improvements; (ii) runs with the Premises and
the Land and Improvements; and (iii) shall benefit or be binding upon each
successive owner during its ownership of the Premises and/or the Land and
Improvements, or any portion thereof, and each Person having an interest therein
derived in any manner through any owner of any portion thereof.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

21.   NO PARTNERSHIP

     Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as creating any type or
manner of partnership or joint venture with or between Landlord and Tenant.
Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed to confer upon Landlord any
ownership interest or equity stake in Tenant’s business, nor shall anything
contained in this Lease be construed as creating any type or manner of
partnership, joint venture or joint enterprise with or between Landlord and
Tenant. Landlord shall not be liable for any debts incurred by Tenant. The
provisions of Article 5 relating to Percentage Rent and Participation Rent based
upon Tenant’s performance are included solely for the purpose of providing a
method whereby the rent hereunder is to be measured and ascertained.

22.   DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES; CONSTRUCTION OBLIGATIONS AND STANDARDS

     22.1. Insured Casualty.
          22.1.1. Tenant’s Obligation to Repair. In the event of fire or other
casualty resulting in damage to or destruction of the Premises, or any portion
thereof, after the Occupancy Date, from any cause covered under the property
insurance carried, or required to be carried, by Tenant pursuant to Article 13,
and except as otherwise provided below, Tenant shall, subject to Article 8 and
further subject to any Leasehold Mortgagee not having defaulted in its
obligations to make such insurance proceeds available as described in
Section 22.1.3, diligently repair the Premises so that, after completion of such
repair, the Premises will be of like quality and kind as the Premises prior to
such damage and such damage or destruction shall in no way annul or void this
Lease in whole or in part. For purposes of this Section 22.1.1 “like quality and
kind” shall be construed in accordance with the applicable insurance policies.
Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant and reasonably assist Tenant to
the extent required in the process of adjusting and settling insurance claims at
no risk or cost to Landlord. If Landlord elects to require Tenant to restore or
repair the Premises to a standard higher than “like quality and kind,” Tenant
shall do so if Landlord agrees in writing to pay the additional cost thereof on
a mutually agreed basis (without any obligation of Landlord so to do).
          22.1.2. Termination Right on Certain Casualties. If (i) prior to the
Occupancy Date the cost of repair or restoration of the Premises from fire or
other casualty damage exceeds Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000), (ii) prior to
Substantial Completion the cost to Tenant of remediating Hazardous Materials
exceeds the aggregate available amount of: (1) the aggregate available amount of
insurance proceeds; plus (2) any applicable deductible; plus (3) the amount
reasonably budgeted by Tenant prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period
(or such higher amount as Tenant may budget prior to the discovery of the
associated need for remediation) to pay for the remediation of Hazardous
Materials; plus (4) such additional amounts as Landlord shall elect to agree

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

in writing to pay on a mutually agreed basis (without any obligation to do so),
or (iii) after the Occupancy Date the cost of repair or restoration of any
damage or destruction of the Premises covered by insurance, as specified in
Section 22.1.1 above, exceeds the aggregate available amount of: (1) insurance
proceeds plus any applicable deductible; plus (2) Capital Maintenance Reserve;
plus (3) FF&E Reserve to extent not reasonably required for anticipated
replacement of FF&E; plus (4) such additional amounts as Landlord shall elect to
agree in writing to pay on a mutually agreed basis (without any obligation so to
do); then, in any such event, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this
Lease, and all ofits obligations hereunder, in the same manner as specified in
Section 23.3. If Tenant terminates hereunder, Landlord shall receive all
insurance proceeds payable to Tenant (after payment to any Leasehold Mortgagee)
on account of the damage or destruction, except that portion attributable to the
value of Tenant’s leasehold Alterations and additions made by Tenant to the
Premises, including the Project and Tenant’s personal property, Trade Fixtures,
Tenant’s Property, business interruption insurance covering Tenant’s business
revenues, and other losses suffered by Tenant covered by such insurance
proceeds, which portion shall be paid to Tenant. The Capital Maintenance Reserve
shall be distributed to Landlord, and the FF&E Reserve shall be distributed
one-half (1/2) to Landlord and one-half (1/2) to Tenant.
     22.1.3. Use of Proceeds. If Tenant does not terminate this Lease pursuant
to Section 22.1.2, the proceeds of any award with respect to fire or casualty
insurance (but not any award with respect to business interruption or similar
insurance) shall be deposited with an account controlled by a Leasehold
Mortgagee (or, if there is no Leasehold Mortgage, a separate account established
by Tenant for the benefit of the Project) and applied solely to pay the cost of
repair or restoration, as the work progresses and provided that a Leasehold
Mortgagee may require that such proceeds shall not be disbursed unless there are
sufficient sums available to complete the repair and restoration pursuant to
this Lease. Upon completion of such work, any remaining fire and casualty
insurance proceeds shall be payable to Tenant.
23. APPROPRIATION
     23.1. Total Taking. In the event of an Appropriation of all of the
Premises, Land and Improvements this Lease shall terminate as of the date of
such Appropriation, and Rent and other expenses and charges shall be prorated as
of such date.
     23.2. Partial Taking: Repair and Restoration By Tenant. In the event of an
Appropriation of less than all of the Premises, all expenses and charges,
including the Annual Base Rent and other Rent payable by Tenant hereunder for
the portion of the Premises remaining shall be equitably reduced for the
remainder of the Term based on the extent to which such Appropriation interferes
with the efficacious and economical use or operation of or the conduct of any
business therein by Tenant, or any Person holding under Tenant. Tenant shall
make all necessary repairs or Alterations to the Premises so as to constitute
the remaining portion of the Premises as a complete unit, except that Tenant
shall have no obligation to make such repairs when this Lease is terminated as
hereinafter

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

provided; provided that, if the Appropriation is by Landlord, Tenant shall be
obligated to perform such work described above in this sentence only to the
extent of proceeds available from the award made as a result of the
Appropriation.
     23.3. Rights Of Termination. If an Appropriation occurs prior to the
Occupancy Date, and if such Appropriation is material in the reasonable opinion
of Tenant, then Tenant, at its election, may at any time before thirty (30) days
after the Occupancy Date terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord. It shall be
deemed reasonable for Tenant to terminate this Lease on the ground that the
Appropriation is material in the event that awards payable by reason thereof are
not sufficient to pay substantially all costs to be incurred for the work of
repair, replacement or restoration resulting from the Appropriation. If Tenant
does not elect to terminate this Lease by reason of such Appropriation, then and
in that event, occupancy shall be delivered on the terms, covenants and
conditions herein set forth and all of the proceeds or other awards payable by
reason thereof shall be assigned and payable as provided elsewhere in this
Article. In the event (i) of any Appropriation of a portion of the Premises or
Improvements of such magnitude that it is not economically or practically
feasible to restore the Premises or to continue operations therein in an
economically feasible or financially viable manner; or (ii) of any material
Appropriation during the last five (5) years of the Term, then Tenant shall have
the right to terminate this Lease. Such termination shall be effected by notice
to Landlord given within thirty (30) days from the earlier of(a) the date of the
exercise of Appropriation or (b) the date possession of the portion of the
Premises is taken, damaged, or appropriated.
     23.4.Allocation Of Award. With respect to an Appropriation after the
Commencement Date, the award shall be allocated and distributed in the following
order of priority: (i) to Leasehold Mortgagees, in the order of their respective
priority, in payment of the indebtedness secured by their respective Leasehold
Mortgages, up to but not exceeding the portion of the award allocated to the
value of Tenant’s interest in the Premises under this Lease and to Tenant in the
amount of the balance of such value; (ii) to Landlord Mortgagees in the order of
their respective priority, in payment of the indebtedness secured by their
respective Landlord Mortgages, up to but not exceeding the portion of the award
allocated to the value of Landlord’s interest in the Land and the Improvements
(except for this leasehold interest) taken by the Appropriation including its
reversionary interest in the Premises pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and
to Landlord in the amount of balance of such value; (iii) if this Lease does
terminate due to the Appropriation, to Landlord for the cost of repairing the
Premises; (iv) if this Lease does not terminate due to the Appropriation, to
Tenant for the cost of repairing the Premises; (v) to each party, pro rata, for
any expenses or disbursements reasonably and necessarily incurred or paid by
such party for or in connection with the Appropriation proceedings; and (vi) to
Landlord and Tenant, the balance of the award, apportioned equitably. In the
event any award or condemnation does not allocate the award to the interests of
(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) above, the parties will petition the
appropriate court for such a determination.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     23.5. Temporary Appropriation. If all or any portion of the Premises,
and/or Tenant’s Property is taken by an Appropriation for a temporary period (a
“Temporary Appropriation”), this Lease shall not terminate and Tenant shall
continue to perform and observe all of its obligations (including rent)
hereunder as though such Appropriation had not occurred, except only to the
extent that it may be prevented from so doing by reason of such Appropriation.
During the time of such Temporary Appropriation, rent and other monetary
obligations of Tenant will be subject to equitable reduction, and Tenant shall
have the right to terminate only on the grounds set forth in Section 23.3(ii),
or as otherwise provided in this Lease. In the event of such an Appropriation
for a temporary period, Tenant shall be entitled to receive the entire amount of
any award made (whether paid by way of damages, rent or otherwise) and Landlord
assigns such award to Tenant, unless the period of governmental occupancy
extends beyond the then remaining Term, in which case the award for the Premises
shall be apportioned between Landlord and Tenant as of the date of termination
of the Term and, in such apportionment, Landlord shall receive the full amount,
if any, of any portion of such award which represents compensation specifically
awarded for the cost of restoration of the Premises at the termination of any
such Temporary Appropriation. Tenant shall, at the termination of any Temporary
Appropriation, restore the Premises as nearly as may be reasonably possible to
the condition in which the same was prior to such taking, but Tenant shall not
be required to do such restoration work if on or prior to the date of such
termination the Term shall have expired.
     23.6. Representation. Landlord and Tenant shall each have the right to
represent their respective interest in each Appropriation proceeding or
negotiation and to make full proof of its claims. Landlord and Tenant agree not
to enter into any agreement, settlement, sale or transfer to or with the
condemnor without notice to and the consent of Landlord, Landlord Mortgagee,
Tenant and the Leasehold Mortgagee, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. Landlord and Tenant shall each execute and deliver to the
other any instruments that may be reasonably required to effectuate or
facilitate the provisions of this Lease relating to condemnation.

24.   SURRENDER OF PREMISES

     24.1. Required Condition. Subject to the provisions of Articles 22 and 23,
upon expiration of the Term or earlier termination hereof, Tenant shall
surrender the Premises in good order, condition and repair, reasonable wear and
tear and damage by casualty excepted, free and clear of any Subleases,
occupancies, liens and encumbrances arising under or as a result of Tenant’s use
or occupancy, or any activities, direct or indirect of Tenant, its Affiliates,
its agents, contractors, employees, subtenants, licensees, visitors, or
invitees. The exception in the previous sentence for reasonable wear and tear
and damage by casualty shall not limit Tenant’s obligations in the other
provisions of this Lease with respect to the condition and repair of the
Premises. Tenant shall remove all of Tenant’s Property constituting personal
property and shall leave on the Premises all of Tenant’s Property constituting
real property improvements and fixtures, provided, however, that Tenant shall
have the right, but not the obligation, to remove the Excluded Fixtures, and

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

shall repair damages caused by such removal. Any property left by Tenant on
expiration or termination of the Term, subject to the foregoing, shall
automatically become the property of Landlord from and after such date. Any
surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall
terminate all or any existing Subleases or subtenancies.
     24.2. Termination Before Substantial Completion. If this Lease is
terminated prior to Substantial Completion, Tenant shall assign and deliver to
Landlord as Landlord’s sole property all architectural, engineering and other
plans, drawings, specifications and studies performed for Tenant and relating to
the Premises. In order to assure Landlord that it will have the legal right to
use the aforesaid plans, drawings, specifications and the like if Landlord
becomes entitled to such items as hereinabove provided, Tenant shall include in
its agreements with the architects, engineers and other professionals who
prepared such items and who have any proprietary rights with respect to such
items (including the rights to use thereof in connection with the Premises)
provisions whereby Tenant and Landlord shall have the right to use such plans
and other materials in connection with the Hotel. In furtherance and not in
limitation thereof, Tenant (referred to below as “Owner”) shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to include as such provisions the following:
     “The drawings, specifications and other documents prepared by the Architect
for this Project (“Documents”) are instruments of the Architect’s service and,
unless otherwise provided, the Architect shall be deemed the author of these
Documents and shall retain all common law, statutory and other reserved rights,
including the copyright. For the purpose of completing this Project or for any
other purpose, Architect and its sub consultants hereby (i) grant to Owner an
irrevocable, fully paid-up, perpetual, worldwide license to copy and use such
Documents for completion of this Project or for any other purpose and
(ii) consent to the use by Owner, and of the modification by other design
professionals retained by Owner, of the Documents. The Architect will have no
responsibility or liability to the Owner with respect to any modification to the
Documents made by the Owner or any other design professional retained by the
Owner. Furthermore, except where the Architect is found to be liable for such
claim, damage or loss, the Owner shall hold Architect harmless from any such
claim, damage or loss arising out of (a) the modification of the Documents by
Owner or another design professional retained by Owner or (b) Owner’s use of the
Documents on another Project. The Owner shall be permitted to retain copies,
including reproducible copies, of the Documents for information and reference in
connection with the Owner’s use and occupancy of the Project.”
     “All drawings, specifications and other documents whether in tangible or
intangible form including documents or computer programs, are works for hire and
will remain the property of the Owner, whether the Project is completed or not.
It is acknowledged by both parties that the architectural design of the Project
will be unique, and the Architect will not replicate or otherwise use the

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

overall design for any other project. The Architect may retain other original
documents not requested by Owner so long as reproducible copies of such
documents are delivered to the Owner by the Architect. The Owner may use all
documents prepared by the Architect or its subconsultants to complete the
Project, for additions to this Project or for any other purpose, and the
Architect and its subconsultants consent to the modification by other design
professionals retained by the Owner of the drawings, specifications and other
documents prepared by the Architect and its subconsultants. In the event the
Architect is terminated prior to completion of the Project and the Owner uses
the Drawings, Specifications or other documents to complete the Project, the
Architect will have no liability or responsibility to the Owner with respect to
any modification to the drawings, specifications or other documents made by the
Owner or any other design professional retained by Owner. The Architect will
have no responsibility or liability to the Owner with respect to the Owner’s use
of the drawings, specifications or other documents for additions to the Project
or for other projects without the Architect’s prior written consent. The Owner
shall hold Architect harmless from (i) any claim to the extent caused by Owner’s
use of the drawings, specifications and other documents for other projects or
additions to this Project and (ii) in the event this Agreement is terminated and
the Owner uses another design professional to complete the drawings,
specifications and other documents, any claim to the extent caused by
modification of the drawings, specifications and other documents by such other
design professional.”
     “To the extent that any writings or works of authorship may not, by
operation of law, be works made for hire, this Agreement shall constitute an
irrevocable assignment by the Architect to the Owner of the ownership of, and
all rights of copyright in, such items, and the Owner shall have the right to
obtain and hold in its own name rights or copyright, copyright registrations and
similar protections which may be available in such works. The Architect agrees
to give the Owner or its designees all assistance reasonably required to perfect
such rights. In the event Architect utilizes subconsultants in performing work
for the Owner, the Architect shall obtain for the Owner ownership of, and all
rights of copyright in, the writings or other works of authorship created by any
such subconsultants.
     “Owner may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving ten (10) days’
notice thereof. If such termination shall be without cause, Owner shall remain
liable for the amounts specified elsewhere in this Agreement. Upon any
termination, all copies of the plans, specifications and working drawings shall
be delivered to Owner.”

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     “Notwithstanding the foregoing, Architect acknowledges and consents to the
use and ownership by GSA, or its designees or assignees, of said plans and
specifications in accordance with the Lease between the Owner (as Tenant) and
The United States of America, acting by and through the Administrator of General
Services (as Landlord) for Square 430 in Washington, D.C., and Architect agrees
to deliver copies of said plans and specifications to GSA upon written request
from GSA accompanied by a certification from GSA’s Regional Counselor Regional
Administrator that GSA is entitled to said plans and specifications pursuant to
said Lease, provided (i) GSA agrees to pay the Architect’s reasonable
duplication expenses and (ii) the Architect shall have been paid the outstanding
fees due the Architect from the Owner at the time of delivery to GSA. Architect
agrees that GSA shall not be liable for payment of the Architect’s fees.”
     Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord shall not have the legal right to
use the aforesaid plans, drawings, specifications and the like until the
architects, engineers, and other professionals who prepared such items and who
have proprietary rights with respect to such items have been paid any
outstanding fees to which they are entitled for the preparation of such items to
the date of assignment of such plans, drawings, specifications and the like to
Landlord, and Tenant may include such understanding in any agreement with its
architects, engineers, and other professionals. The payment of such outstanding
fees shall be the obligation of Tenant. In the event Tenant shall not have paid
such fees to such professionals, Landlord may pay such fees, on behalf of
Tenant, in order to obtain the legal right to use any plans, drawings,
specifications and the like and Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord,
without the need for notice or demand, the amount of such fees paid by Landlord
on behalf of Tenant, as additional Rent hereunder. Landlord shall pay no fees to
any professionals, on behalf of Tenant, as provided herein, until thirty (30)
days have elapsed from the date Landlord has given notice to Tenant of
Landlord’s intention to make such payment(s) in the event Tenant shall not have
paid such fees.
References to “Architect” and “plans and specifications” shall be appropriately
revised if the agreement is with a professional other than an architect.
     24.3. Other Contracts and Subleases. On the last day of the Term, or upon
any earlier termination of this Lease, or upon re-entry by Landlord upon the
Premises pursuant to Article 27, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord Tenant’s
executed counterparts of all Subleases and any service and maintenance contracts
then affecting the Premises, maintenance records for the Premises for the
immediately preceding Lease Year, all original licenses and permits then
pertaining to the Premises, permanent certificates of occupancy then in effect
for the Improvements, and copies of all warranties and guarantees then in effect
which Tenant has received in connection with any work or services performed in
the Premises, together with a duly executed assignment thereof to Landlord.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

25.   INSOLVENCY OR BANKRUPTCY.

     Upon the happening of any of the following events, Landlord shall have the
rights specified under Section 27.1 upon the occurrence of an “Event of Default”
thereunder: (i) the admission by Tenant in writing of its inability to pay its
debts as they become due; (ii) the filing by Tenant of a petition seeking any
reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution
or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, the
filing by Tenant of an answer admitting or failing timely to contest a material
allegation of a petition filed against Tenant in any such proceeding or, if
within ninety (90) days after the commencement of any proceeding against Tenant
seeking any reorganization, or arrangement, composition, readjustment,
liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute,
law or regulation, such proceeding shall not have been dismissed; (iii) the
appointment of a receiver or trustee to take possession of all or substantially
all of the assets of Tenant if not discharged within ninety (90) days; (iv) a
general assignment by Tenant for the benefit of creditors; (v) any action or
proceeding commenced by Tenant under any insolvency or bankruptcy act, or under
any other statute or regulation having as its purpose the protection of
creditors, or any such action commenced against Tenant and not discharged within
ninety (90) days after the date of commencement; or (vi) the attachment,
execution or other judicial seizure of all or substantially all of Tenant’s
assets or the Premises, if such attachment or other seizure remains undismissed
or undischarged for a period of thirty (30) business days after the levy
thereof.
26. QUIET ENJOYMENT BY TENANT
     26.1. Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord covenants that, upon Tenants paying the
rent and performing all of the terms, covenants and conditions on Tenant’s part
to be observed and performed hereunder, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly hold
and enjoy the Premises hereby demised free of claims of any Person claiming
under or through Landlord.
     26.2 Compliance With Applicable Laws. At Tenant’s request, Landlord shall
join in any filings necessary so that the Premises comply with the Applicable
Building Code and all Applicable Laws, ordinances, rules and regulations
governing the division or parcelization of real property for purposes of lease,
sale or financing subject to Landlord’s right to finance pursuant to Section
16.1, so that this Lease shall constitute a lawful conveyance to Tenant of a
leasehold estate in the Premises and so that Tenant shall not be disturbed in
its quiet enjoyment of the Premises pursuant to this Article 26.
27. DEFAULT; RIGHTS ON CERTAIN TERMINATION EVENTS
     27.1. Tenant’s Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall
constitute an “Event of Default” by Tenant:

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

          27.1.1. Monetary Breach.
               27.1.1.1. Any breach by Tenant of any obligation under this Lease
to timely pay Rent, or any other monetary sum as required pursuant to this
Lease, which breach continues uncured for a period of five (5) business days
after notice of such failure by Landlord to Tenant.
               27.1.1.2. Any failure by Tenant to pay to Landlord, within five
(5) days after notice by Landlord to Tenant, the full amount of any money
damages awarded to Landlord pursuant to a final resolution of any dispute
pursuant to Article 28 on account of the occurrence of a Non-Monetary Breach
(including any action brought by Landlord on account of the expenditure by
Landlord of sums to remedy a Non-Monetary Breach in accordance with the terms of
Section 27.1.6.).
Interest at the Default Rate shall be payable on any amounts due from Tenant
from the due date. In addition, if Landlord shall be required to give any
notices of default more than two (2) times in any twelve (12) month period for
Annual Base Rent or Percentage Rent which is five (5) or more calendar days
late, or of any other material defaults, Tenant shall thereafter for the
following twelve (12) months pay a late payment fee equal to five percent (5%)
of any amount of Rent which is not paid within five (5) calendar days after its
due date.
          27.1.2. Non-Monetary Breach. Any breach by Tenant of any terms,
obligations, conditions, agreements or covenants under this Lease, other than a
breach pursuant to Section 27.1.1 or 27.1.3, such breach continuing for thirty
(30) days after notice of such breach, or if such breach is not reasonably
susceptible of cure within such 30-day period, then, so long as Tenant
immediately upon notice, and continuously and diligently thereafter pursues such
cure until such breach is cured in fact, Tenant shall have a reasonable time
thereafter to remedy such breach. As used in this Section 27.1.2, a “reasonable
time” shall mean the time reasonably necessary to cure a breach (such as, by way
of example, the period of time necessary to exercise Tenant’s remedies under a
Sublease if a Space Tenant thereunder is in default), which period of time shall
not exceed six (6) months, provided, that, such six (6) month period shall be
extended to the extent additional time is reasonably necessary to obtain
judicial relief or other third party or governmental actions or consents
necessary to cure such breach.
          27.1.3. Insolvency. The occurrence of an event specified in
Article 25.
     An Event of Default under Section 27.1.1 shall hereinafter be referred to
as a “Monetary Breach”; and any Event of Default under Sections 27.1.2 or an
event specified in Section 27.1.3 shall hereinafter be referred to as a
“Non-Monetary Breach”.
          27.1.4. Remedy on Occurrence of Event of Default. In the event of the
occurrence of an Event of Default, then Landlord shall have the following rights
subject, however, to the provisions of Sections 9.2, 18 and this Article 27:
               27.1.4.1. Termination. In the event of the occurrence of an Event

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

of Default, Landlord shall have the right, after the giving of notice required
hereunder, and subject to the rights granted in Article 18, and this Article 27
and only upon issuance of a final resolution pursuant to Article 28, to
terminate this Lease, and at any time thereafter recover possession of the
Premises or any part thereof and expel and remove therefrom Tenant and any other
Person occupying the same, by any lawful means, and again repossess and enjoy
the Premises without prejudice to any of the remedies that Landlord may have
under this Lease, or at law or in equity by reason of Tenant’s default or of
such termination.
               27.1.4.2. Continuation After Default. Subject to the limits set
forth in Sections 27.1.7 and 27.1.9, in the event of the occurrence of an Event
of Default, this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Landlord does not
terminate Tenant’s right to possession under Section 27.1.4.1, and Landlord may
enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to
recover Rent as it becomes due. Notwithstanding any such election to have this
Lease remain in full force and effect, Landlord may, at any time thereafter,
elect by notice to Tenant to terminate this Lease and Tenant’s right to
possession of the Premises for any previous Event of Default which remains
uncured, or for any subsequent uncured Event of Default. Acts of maintenance,
preservation or efforts to lease the Premises or the appointment of a receiver
upon application of Landlord to protect Landlord’s interest under this Lease
shall not constitute an election to terminate Tenant’s right to possession. In
addition, Landlord, by thirty (30) days’ prior notice to Tenant, shall have the
right to terminate Tenant’s right to possession but not this Lease, in which
event Tenant shall be relieved of all obligations that cannot feasibly be
fulfilled without possession.
               27.1.4.3. Damages Upon Termination. If Landlord terminates this
Lease pursuant to the provisions of Section 27.1.4.1, in addition to any other
rights and remedies to which Landlord may be entitled under Applicable Laws,
Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant, subject to the limits set
forth in Section 27.1.9: (i) the worth at the time of award of the unpaid Rent,
and other monetary amounts payable by Tenant hereunder, including those which
had been earned at the time of termination; and (ii) any other amount necessary
to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s
failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary
course of things would be likely to result therefrom.
               27.1.4.4. Worth at the Time of Award. The “worth at the time of
award” of the amounts referred to in Section 27.1.4.3(i) shall be computed with
interest at the Default Rate.
               27.1.4.5. Time of Award. As used herein, the term “time of award”
shall mean either the date upon which Tenant pays to Landlord the amount
recoverable by Landlord as hereinabove set forth or the date of entry of
determining the amount recoverable, whichever first occurs in accordance with
Article 28.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

          27.1.5. Computation of Rent for Purposes of Default. For purposes of
Section 27.1.4.3, unpaid Rent which would have accrued and become payable under
this Lease shall consist of the sum of: (i) the total Annual Base Rent for the
balance of the Term, plus (ii) a computation of all other Rent for the balance
of the Term present valued at the Default Rate.
          27.1.6. Remedy on Occurrence of a Non-Monetary Breach. In addition to
any other rights, Landlord shall also have the right to bring an action or
actions for specific performance of the obligation in default and/or for interim
and permanent prohibitory or mandatory injunctive relief to restrain Tenant from
committing or continuing a Non-Monetary Breach. In any event, but subject to the
specific limitations contained in this Article 27, Landlord shall have recourse
to all appropriate legal and equitable remedies upon an Event of Default. Any
judgment for damages obtained by Landlord on account of any Event of Default
hereunder shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
          27.1.7. No Termination; Waiver of Remedies; Certain Limitations on
Remedies of Landlord. In no event shall any Non-Monetary Breach of this Lease by
Tenant entitle Landlord (or any Person acting under Landlord) to cancel,
rescind, void or otherwise terminate this Lease, or any of the terms, covenants,
conditions, rights or obligations of Tenant hereunder, except in compliance with
this Article 27. If Landlord brings any action or actions to recover possession
of the Premises on account of an Event of Default, including a proceeding for
unlawful detainer, Tenant shall be permitted an affirmative defense in any such
proceeding for any continuing breach of this Lease by Landlord that prevents
Tenant’s cure of such Event of Default or is a material cause thereof. Any
statute or law prohibiting the assertion of such a defense in any such
proceeding brought by Landlord now or hereafter in force, is hereby
unconditionally and irrevocably waived by Landlord to the extent permitted by
law. In any event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Lease or pursuant to any right or remedy available to Landlord at law or in
equity, except for the provisions with respect to a Monetary Breach where
Landlord shall be limited only by the law applicable to unlawful detainer,
Landlord shall have no right to terminate this Lease prior to a final resolution
of any dispute pursuant to Article 28 on account of the occurrence of a
Non-Monetary Breach. Tenant shall abide by the final resolution pursuant to
Article 28.
          27.1.8. Rights of Leasehold Mortgagee. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Lease, any lien in favor of Landlord obtained to
enforce any remedy of Landlord and any levy of execution thereon shall be
subject to any applicable rights of any Leasehold Mortgagee under Article 18.
          27.1.9. Limitation on Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord shall look solely to Tenant’s estate
and interest in the Premises, and Tenant’s insurance or condemnation proceeds
and reserves and proceeds of the Premises for the satisfaction of Landlord’s
remedies for the recovery of any judgment against Tenant for breach of Tenant’s
obligations under this Lease, including any cause of action accruing on or after
the Commencement Date. Tenant, or if Tenant is a partnership, its employees,
partners whether general or limited, or if Tenant is a

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

corporation, its directors, officers or shareholders, and in any event the
employees thereof and of any Operator, and the officers, directors,
shareholders, and employees of all of them, shall not otherwise be personally
liable for any obligations hereunder or for any such judgment or performance.
There shall be no levy of execution upon such judgment against the assets of any
of the Persons indicated in the preceding sentence (nor shall such Persons be
named in any such action against Tenant) other than Tenant’s estate and interest
in the Premises, and Tenant’s insurance or condemnation proceeds and reserves
and proceeds of the Premises.
          27.1.10. Landlord’s Right to Perform on Tenant’s Breach. In addition
to any other right or remedy of Landlord under this Lease upon the occurrence of
any breach by Tenant that is not cured within the applicable cure period and
without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligation of Tenant under this
Lease, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) upon as much advance notice
to Tenant as is reasonable and practicable, enter the Premises, at reasonable
times and upon reasonable prior notice (except in the event of an Emergency
Situation in which case notice shall not be required if not reasonably
practicable under the circumstances) and cure such Event of Default or Emergency
Situation for the account of Tenant. All sums paid by Landlord and all costs and
expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such cure, together with
interest thereon at the Default Rate, from the respective dates of Landlord’s
incurrence of each item of cost or expense, shall be payable by Tenant on
demand. If Tenant fails promptly to pay such costs and expenses, Landlord, in
addition to its right to sue to recover such costs and expenses, may deduct and
offset such amounts against any amounts payable pursuant to this Lease by
Landlord to Tenant, if any.
     27.2. Landlord’s Default.
          27.2.1. Landlord’s Liability. If Landlord breaches any of its material
obligations under this Lease (“Landlord Event of Default”) and such breach
continues for longer than thirty (30) days after receipt by Landlord of notice
thereof from Tenant (except that if such breach cannot reasonably be cured
within such thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord
commences, within such period, such cure and thereafter diligently using all
reasonable efforts prosecutes the same to completion), then, subject to the next
sentence, Landlord shall be liable to Tenant for such amounts to which Tenant
may be entitled in law or equity in any action brought by Tenant against
Landlord on account of such breach. In no event however shall Landlord be liable
for consequential or punitive damages. Subject to the foregoing limitation of
liability, Tenant shall have the right to invoke all appropriate legal and
equitable remedies on the occurrence of a Landlord Event of Default.
          27.2.2. Tenant’s Additional Rights. If Landlord fails to perform any
of its material obligations under this Lease, and such failure continues uncured
after notice and expiration of the applicable time period under Section 27.2.1,
then in addition to all other rights and remedies of Tenant under this Lease and
at law or equity, Tenant shall have the right (but shall not be obligated to),
upon as much advance notice to Landlord as is reasonable and practicable, to
cure such breach on behalf of Landlord and upon demand

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

by Tenant, Landlord shall promptly pay to Tenant the reasonable costs and
expenses of such cure, together with interest at the Default Rate (or if lower
the rate provided by Applicable Laws for late payments by Landlord). When Tenant
makes demand for payment, Tenant shall furnish Landlord an itemized statement of
the reasonable costs and expenses incurred for cure.
          27.2.3. Limitation on Recourse To Premises. Nothing in this Lease
shall constitute an agreement by Landlord that the Premises or any part thereof
or interest therein shall be subject to lien, levy, attachment, forfeiture or
other process.
     27.3. Termination Procedures. Whenever Tenant is granted a specific right
to terminate this Lease, Tenant shall exercise such right in accordance with the
following terms and conditions. Upon the occurrence of an event or circumstance
giving rise to a right of termination, Tenant shall, if Tenant elects to
exercise such right, give notice of such exercise to Landlord and, if required,
to any Leasehold Mortgagee or Landlord Mortgagee. Unless another time period is
specified in this Lease, this Lease shall terminate thirty (30) days after such
notice is given.
     27.4. Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Failure of Landlord to declare a Tenant
Event of Default or of Tenant to declare a Landlord Event of Default immediately
upon the occurrence thereof, or delay in taking any action in connection
therewith, shall not waive such Event of Default or default, but Landlord and
Tenant shall have the right to declare any such Event of Default at any time
thereafter. No waiver by either party of any default under this Lease or any
agreement, term, covenant or condition contained in this Lease shall be
effective or binding on such party unless made in writing by such party and no
such waiver shall be implied from any omission by a party to take action with
respect to such default or other such matter. No express written waiver of any
default or other such matter shall affect any other default or matter or cover
any other period of time other than any default and/or period of time specified
in such express waiver. One or more written waivers of any default or other
matter under any provision of this Lease shall not be deemed to be a waiver of
any subsequent default in the performance of the same provision or any other
term or provision contained in this Lease. Subject to the specific provisions to
the contrary in this Lease, all of the remedies permitted or available to a
party under this Lease or at law or in equity shall be cumulative and not
alternative and invocation of any such right or remedy (including any
termination right under this Lease) shall not constitute a waiver or election of
remedies with respect to any other permitted or available right or remedy. In
connection with the foregoing provisions, Landlord and Tenant each acknowledge,
warrant and represent that it has been fully informed with respect to and
represented by counsel of choice in connection with the rights and remedies and
the waivers contained in this Article 27 and after such advice and consultation,
has presently and actually intended, with full knowledge of its rights and
remedies otherwise available at law or in equity, entered into this Lease.

be settled through negotiation, Landlord and Tenant shall first try in good
faith to settle the dispute by mediation, before resorting to litigation.
Landlord agrees that Landlord’s Contracting Officer shall not issue any final
determination regarding any claim by Tenant until and unless such mediation has
been concluded, or either Landlord or Tenant advises the other that a resolution
of the dispute by mediation does not appear likely within a reasonable time.

knowledge of such delay, and (b) nothing herein contained shall excuse any party
from exercising all due diligence and taking all necessary actions reasonably

agree on a procedure for inspecting and abating existing Hazardous Materials and
for allocating the cost thereof in accordance with this Section 31.2. If
possible the procedure shall include retention of an environmental consulting
firm that will have discretion to determine which costs are abatement costs for
which Landlord is responsible as described below and which costs are abatement

and copy any books, accounts, records (including computerized records), and
other material that may be relevant to the matter under investigation and
pertinent to compliance with Executive Order 11246, as amended, and rules and
regulations that implement the Executive Order.     (9)   If the OFCCP
determines that the Contractor is not in compliance with this clause or any
rule, regulation, or order of the Secretary of Labor, this contract may be
canceled, terminated, or suspended in whole or in part and the contractor may be
declared ineligible for further Government contracts, under the procedures
authorized in Executive Order 11246, as amended. In addition, sanctions may be
imposed and remedies invoked against the Contractor as provided in Executive
Order 11246, as amended, the rules, regulations, and orders of the Secretary of
Labor, or as otherwise provided by law.     (10)   The Contractor shall include
the terms and conditions of subparagraph (b)(1) through (11) of this clause in
every subcontract or purchase order that is not exempted by the rules,
regulations, or orders of the Secretary of Labor issued under Executive Order
11246, as amended, so that these terms and conditions will be binding upon each
subcontractor or vendor.     (11)   The Contractor shall take such action with
respect to any subcontract or purchase order as the contracting agency may
direct as a means of enforcing these terms and conditions, including sanctions
for noncompliance; provided, that if the Contractor becomes involved in, or is
threatened with, litigation with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of any
direction, the Contractor may request the United States to enter into the
litigation to protect the interest of the United States.

  (c)   Notwithstanding any other clause in this Lease, disputes relative to
this Section 32.24.2 will be governed by the procedures in 41 CFR Part 60-1.1.
