CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT




     This CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of December 15, 2005
(the “Effective Date”), is made by and between BNP PARIBAS LEASING CORPORATION (“BNPPLC”), a
Delaware corporation, and NETWORK APPLIANCE, INC. (“NAI”), a Delaware corporation.



RECITALS




     Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, BNPPLC and NAI are executing a Common
Definitions and Provisions Agreement dated as of the Effective Date (the “Common Definitions and
Provisions Agreement”), which by this reference is incorporated into and made a part of this
Agreement for all purposes. As used in this Agreement, capitalized terms defined in the Common
Definitions and Provisions Agreement and not otherwise defined in this Agreement are intended to
have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement.



     At the request of NAI and to facilitate the transaction contemplated in the other Operative
Documents, contemporaneously with this Agreement BNPPLC is executing and accepting a Ground Lease
from NAI (the “Ground Lease”), pursuant to which BNPPLC is acquiring a leasehold estate in the Land
described in Exhibit A and any existing Improvements on such Land.



     Also contemporaneously with this Agreement, BNPPLC and NAI are executing a Lease Agreement
(the “Lease”), pursuant to which the parties expect that NAI will lease the Improvements on the
Land described in Exhibit A from BNPPLC for a lease term that will commence on the
Completion Date (as defined below).



     In anticipation of the construction of new or additional Improvements for NAI’s use pursuant
to the Lease, BNPPLC and NAI have agreed upon the terms and conditions upon which BNPPLC is willing
to authorize NAI to arrange and manage such construction and upon which BNPPLC is willing to
provide funds for such construction, and by this Agreement BNPPLC and NAI desire to evidence such
agreement.



ENGAGEMENT AND AUTHORIZATION




     Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, BNPPLC does hereby
engage and authorize NAI — and NAI does hereby accept such engagement and authorization, as an
independent contractor for BNPPLC — to construct the Construction Project on the Land and to manage
such construction for BNPPLC. As more particularly provided in subparagraph 2(A)(2) below, NAI
will take possession and control of the Land and all
Improvements on the Land to accomplish such construction. However, the rights and authority
granted to NAI by this Agreement are expressly made subject and subordinate to the terms and
condition hereinafter set















 





forth and to the Ground Lease, to the Permitted Encumbrances and to any other claims or
encumbrances affecting the Land or the Property that may be asserted by third parties other than
Liens Removable by BNPPLC.




GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS



1 Additional definitions. As used in this Agreement, capitalized terms defined above will
have the respective meanings assigned to them above; as indicated above, capitalized terms that are
defined in the Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement and that are used but not defined herein
will have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Common Definitions and Provisions
Agreement; and, the following terms will have the following respective meanings:





“97-10/Event” means any of the following:




     (a) NAI gives a Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate and thereafter (i) fails
to rescind the same as described in subparagraph 7(B)(7) within ten days after
BNPPLC responds with any Increased Commitment, or (ii) gives a Notice of
Termination as provided in subparagraph 7(B)(1); or




     (b) NAI gives a notice to terminate the Supplemental Payment Obligation as
described in subparagraph 6(B) of the Purchase Agreement; or




     (c)
BNPPLC gives notice to NAI as described in subparagraph 7(C) to cause a
Termination of NAI’s Work; or




     (d) NAI fails for any reason whatsoever to substantially complete the
Construction Project and give a Completion Notice to BNPPLC prior to the
Target Completion Date; or




     (e) for any reason whatsoever (including the accrual of Carrying Costs), the
Funded Construction Allowance exceeds the Maximum Construction Allowance.




“97-10/Maximum Permitted Prepayment” as of any date means the amount equal to eighty-nine
and nine-tenths of one percent (89.9%) of the aggregate of all 97-10/Project Costs paid or
incurred on or prior to such date.


Construction Management Agreement — Page 2




 









 







“97-10/Prepayment”
means any payment to BNPPLC required by Paragraph 9, which in each case
will equal (A) the 97-10/Maximum Permitted Prepayment, computed as of the date on which the
payment becomes due, less (B) the sum of (1) the accreted value of any prior payments
actually received by BNPPLC from NAI constituting 97-10/Prepayments, and (2) amounts (if
any) then owed by BNPPLC to NAI pursuant to this Agreement as reimbursements for 97-10
Project Costs paid by NAI and not theretofore reimbursed. For purposes of the preceding
sentence, “accreted value” of a payment means the amount of the payment plus an amount equal
to the interest that would have accrued on the payment if it bore interest at the Effective
Rate plus the Spread.



“97-10/Project Costs” means the following:





     (a)
costs incurred for the Work, including not only hard costs incurred for the new
Improvements described in Exhibit B, but also the following costs to the extent
reasonably incurred in connection with the Construction Project:




	 	 •	 	soft costs, such as architectural fees, engineering fees and fees and
costs paid in connection with obtaining project permits and approvals
required by governmental authorities or any Permitted Encumbrance,
	 
	 	 •	 	site preparation costs, and
	 
	 	 •	 	costs of offsite and other public improvements required as conditions
of governmental approvals for the Construction Project or required by
any Permitted Encumbrances;





     (b) costs incurred to maintain insurance required by (and consistent with the requirements
of) this Agreement prior to the Completion Date;



     (c) Local Impositions that have accrued or become due prior to the Completion Date;



     (d) Accrued Construction Period Interest Expense; and



     (e) any costs in addition to those described in clauses (a) through (d) preceding that GAAP
(as it exists on the Effective Date) would allow BNPPLC to capitalize as
part of the cost of the Property or that the 97-10/Pronouncement would allow BNPPLC to
characterize as project costs, including: (1) cancellation or termination fees or other
compensation payable by NAI or BNPPLC pursuant to any contract concerning the Construction
Project made by NAI or BNPPLC with any general contractor, architect, engineer or other
third party because of any election by NAI or BNPPLC to cancel or


Construction Management Agreement — Page 3




 









 









terminate such contract, and (2) any costs that BNPPLC incurs and is allowed to capitalize to continue or complete
the Construction Project after any Owner’s Election to Continue Construction as provided in
subparagraph 8(A).




However, notwithstanding the foregoing, 97-10/Project Costs will not include Pre-lease Force
Majeure Losses, Administrative Fees, the Arrangement Fee, or any legal fees which are
included in Transaction Expenses.




“97-10/Pronouncement” means the pronouncement issued by the Emerging Issues Task Force of
the Financial Accounting Standards Board in 1998 titled “EITF 97-10: The Effect of Lessee
Involvement in Construction”, which provides that certain kinds of involvement by a lessee
in pre-lease commencement construction will cause the lessee to be considered as the owner
of the leased property during the construction period and then will require application of
the appropriate sale and leaseback accounting rules.




“NAI’s
Estimate of Force Majeure Delays” has the meaning indicated
in subparagraph 7(B)(4).




“NAI’s
Estimate of Force Majeure Excess Costs” has the meaning
indicated in subparagraph 7(B)(3).




“Accrued Construction Period Interest Expense” means interest that has accrued and that
BNPPLC has paid or is obligated to pay on Funding Advances for any period prior to the
Completion Date. Such interest will include a percentage, equal to the aggregate
Percentages of all Participants (under and as defined in the Participation Agreement), of
Carrying Costs and Commitment Fees that accrue after the execution of any Participation
Agreement and that are added to the Outstanding Construction Allowance as provided in this
Agreement, it being understood that the additional amounts BNPPLC must pay to the
Participants under the Participation Agreement because of the accrual of Carrying Costs and
Commitment Fees effectively constitute construction period interest on advances the
Participants make to BNPPLC under the Participation Agreement. Accrued Construction Period
Interest Expense will also include any interest and other finance charges that accrue prior
to the Completion Date because of Funding Advances provided to BNPPLC by BNPPLC’s Parent in
the form of loans, regardless of whether BNPPLC’s obligation in respect of such loans is
limited to BNPPLC’s interest in the Property. However,
any such interest and other finance charges accruing on Funding Advances provided by
BNPPLC’s Parent and included in Accrued Construction Period Interest Expense will not exceed
the Carrying Costs attributable to the portion of the Lease Balance funded or maintained by
such Funding Advances. Further, Accrued Construction Period Interest will not include any
portion of Carrying Costs included in Pre-lease Force Majeure Losses (as set forth in the
definition thereof below) or interest or finance charges that BNPPLC must pay to the


Construction Management Agreement — Page 4

 










 










Participants under the Participation Agreement because of the accrual of such portion of
Carrying Costs.




“Affiliate’s
Contract” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph
2(A)(2)(b).




“Arrangement
Fee” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph 3(A).




“Administrative
Fee” has the meanings indicated in subparagraph 3(A) and
subparagraph 3(D).




“Capital
Adequacy Charges” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph
3(E)(1).




“Carrying
Costs” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph 3(B).




“Commitment
Fees” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph 3(C).




“Complete Taking” means a taking by eminent domain prior to the Completion Date over NAI’s
objection of all of the Land or the Property, or so much thereof as to make it impossible to
complete the Construction Project for its intended uses on the Land regardless of any Scope
Changes BNPPLC may be willing to approve or any Increased Commitment that BNPPLC may be
willing to provide.




“Completion Date” means the the date upon which NAI gives the notice to BNPPLC which is
required by subparagraph 2(B), after having substantially completed the Construction Project and
having obtained any certificate of substantial completion or other permit (temporary or
permanent) required for the commencement of NAI’s use of the Improvements.




“Completion
Notice” means the notice required by subparagraph 2(B) from NAI to BNPPLC, advising
BNPPLC that NAI has substantially completed construction of the Construction Project and has
obtained any certificate of substantial completion or other permit (temporary or permanent)
required for the commencement of NAI’s use of the Improvements. (Any such Completion Notice
will also confirm the amounts required to compute the Projected Economic Depreciation of
Equipment, consistent with BNPPLC’s determination of the projected future value as provided
in subparagraph 4(C)(2)(d), for use in calculating Amortizing Rent as provided in the Lease.)




“Construction Advances” means (1) actual advances of funds made by or on behalf of BNPPLC to
or on behalf of NAI as provided in Paragraph 4, which sets forth NAI’s rights to receive
advances for Reimbursable Construction Period Costs, and (2) other amounts paid or incurred
by BNPPLC that subparagraph 8(A) or other provisions of this


Construction Management Agreement — Page 5

 









 










Agreement allow BNPPLC to
characterize as Construction Advances. The term "Construction Advances” will not, however,
include advances of insurance proceeds, condemnation proceeds or other Escrowed Proceeds to
pay or reimburse costs of repairs or restoration.




“Construction
Advance Request” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph
4(C)(1).




“Construction Allowance” means the allowance to be provided by BNPPLC for the design and
construction of the Construction Project, against which and from which Carrying Cost,
Construction Advances and other amounts will be or may be charged and paid as provided in
various provisions of this Agreement (including Paragraphs 3, 4 and 8).




“Construction
Budget” means the budget for the Construction Project set
forth in Exhibit B.




“Construction Project” means the new buildings or other substantial Improvements to be
constructed, or the alteration of existing Improvements, as described generally in
Exhibit B.




“Covered
Construction Period Losses” has the meaning indicated in
subparagraph 10(A).




“Defective
Work” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph 2(A)(2)(e).




“FOCB Notice” means a notice from BNPPLC to NAI advising NAI of any of the following events
or circumstances, and also advising NAI that because of any of the following events or
circumstances BNPPLC will be entitled to make the election described
in subparagraph 7(C), which
will constitute a Termination of NAI’s Work and a 97-10/Event:



     (1) NAI has taken action to cancel or terminate or reduce the coverage available to BNPPLC
under the builder’s risk insurance obtained for the Construction Project as required by this
Agreement, or NAI has otherwise failed to maintain any insurance or to provide insurance
certificates to BNPPLC as required by this Agreement and not cured such failure within ten
days after receiving notice thereof, or



     (2) NAI has given any Pre-lease Force Majeure Event Notice to BNPPLC, or

Construction Management Agreement — Page 6

 









 










     (4) a Work/Suspension Event has occurred and continued for more than thirty consecutive days
after NAI’s receipt of a Work/Suspension Notice advising NAI of such Work/Suspension Event.




“Force Majeure Event” means (A) any taking of any part of the Property by eminent domain
prior to the Completion Date, and (B) any damage to the Improvements or disruption of the
Work that occurs prior to the Completion Date and that is caused by fire or acts of God
(such as flood, lightning, earthquake or hurricane), war, strikes and other labor disputes,
or riot or similar civil disturbance, but only to the extent such damage or disruption (i)
is beyond the control of and not caused in whole or in part by negligence, illegal acts or
willful misconduct on the part of NAI or of its employees or of any other party acting under
NAI’s control or with the approval or authorization of NAI, and (ii) could not have been
avoided or overcome by the exercise of due diligence or reasonable foresight on the part of
NAI or of any other such party.




“Funded Construction Allowance” means on any day the Outstanding Construction Allowance on
that day, including all Construction Advances and Carrying Costs added to the Outstanding
Construction Allowance on or prior to that day, plus the amount of any Qualified Prepayments
deducted on or prior to that day in the calculation of such Outstanding Construction
Allowance.




“Future
Work” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph 4(C)(2)(b).




“Ground
Lease Rents” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph 3(F).




“Increased
Cost Charges” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph
3(E)(1).




“Increased
Commitment” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph 7(B)(6).




“Increased
Funding Commitment” has the meaning indicated in
subparagraph 7(B)(6)(a).




“Increased
Time Commitment” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph
7(B)(6)(b).

Construction Management Agreement — Page 7

 









 








“Maximum Construction Allowance” means an amount equal to $38,500,000, less the Initial
Advance.



“Notice
of NAI’s Intent to Terminate” has the meaning indicated
in subparagraph 7(B)(2).



“Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate Because of a Force Majeure Event” has the meaning
indicated in subparagraph 7(B)(5).



“Notice
of Termination By NAI” has the meaning indicated in
subparagraph 7(B)(1).



“Outstanding Construction Allowance” means, as of any date, the difference (but not less
than zero) of (A) the total Construction Advances made by or on behalf of BNPPLC on or prior
to such date in question, plus (B) all Carrying Costs, Commitment Fees, Administrative Fees,
Increased Cost Charges and Capital Adequacy Charges added on or prior to the date as
provided in Paragraph 3, less (C) any funds received and applied as Qualified Prepayments on
or prior to such date.



“Owner’s
Election to Continue Construction” has the meaning indicated
in subparagraph 8(A).



“Participant
Default” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph.



“Pre-lease
Casualty” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph
2(A)(2)(a).



“Pre-lease Force Majeure Delays” means delays in the completion of the Work to the extent
(but only to the extent) caused solely by a Pre-lease Force Majeure Event.



“Pre-lease Force Majeure Event” means a Force Majeure Event that occurs prior to the
Completion Date; provided, however, that if NAI does not notify BNPPLC of any such Force
Majeure Event by the delivery of a Pre-lease Force Majeure Event Notice within thirty days
after the Force Majeure Event first occurs or commences, then such Force Majeure Event will
not qualify as a “Pre-lease Force Majeure Event” for purposes of this Agreement or the other
Operative Documents.



“Pre-lease
Force Majeure Event Notice” has the meaning indicated in
subparagraph 6(B).



“Pre-lease Force Majeure Excess Costs” means the amount (if any) by which the increase in
the costs of the Work resulting directly and solely from a Pre-lease Force
Majeure Event (such as, for example, the costs of repairing damage to the Improvements



Construction Management Agreement — Page 8

 









 








caused by a Pre-lease Force Majeure Event) exceed the amounts available to pay or reimburse
NAI for such increased costs. Amounts available to pay or reimburse such increased costs
will include (a) insurance proceeds or any recovery from a third party (including any
Escrowed Proceeds held by BNPPLC), and (b) any part of the Construction Allowance (including
any unused contingency amount in the Construction Budget) not used or needed to cover other
Reimbursable Construction Period Costs.



“Pre-lease Force Majeure Losses” means any of the following Losses that BNPPLC suffers by
reason of damage to the Improvements caused by a Pre-lease Force Majeure Event:





     (a) the costs of repairing such damage to the extent that such costs have, as of the
date of any required determination of Pre-lease Force Majeure Losses, (i) been paid
or reimbursed from a Construction Advance (and thus are included in the Lease
Balance as of that date), to be distinguished from costs of repairs paid or
reimbursed from insurance proceeds or from any recovery from a third party, and (ii)
exceeded amounts (if any) available in the NAI’s original Construction Budget for
contingencies and thus would not have been covered by the Construction Allowance but
for an Increased Funding Commitment;




     (b) any diminution in the value of the Improvements resulting from any such damage
that has not, as of the date of the required determination of Pre-lease Force
Majeure Losses, been repaired;




     (c) any increase in the total amount of Carrying Costs, Commitment Fees,
Administrative Fees, Increased Cost Charges, Capital Adequacy Charges and Ground
Lease Rents (and any other amounts) added to the Lease Balance as provided in
Paragraph 3 solely by reason of Pre-lease Force Majeure Delays; and




     (d) to the extent not already included in the increase described in the preceding clause,
all increases in Carrying Costs that are attributable to the amounts included in Pre-lease
Force Majeure Losses pursuant to the preceding clause (a);




but in each case such amounts will constitute Pre-lease Force Majeure Losses only to the
extent, if any, that they are not offset by insurance proceeds which are (1) paid by reason
of such Pre-lease Force Majeure Event (including insurance proceeds paid to compensate
BNPPLC or NAI for increased financing costs, the lost time value of BNPPLC’s investment in
the Project or business interruption) and (2) applied as a Qualified Prepayment to reduce
the Lease Balance.




Also, for purposes of this definition, the diminution in the value of the Improvements, as


Construction Management Agreement — Page 9

 









 










described in the preceding clause (b), will not exceed the amount thereof estimated in good
faith by any independent appraiser or insurance adjuster engaged by BNPPLC to determine such
amount after BNPPLC has received a Notice of Pre-lease Force Majeure Event as provided in
subparagraph 6(B), nor will it exceed the cost of repairing the damage described in the
preceding clause (b) as estimated in good faith by any such independent insurance adjuster
or as indicated by any bona fide written bid to make the repairs that BNPPLC obtains from a
reputable contractor capable of making the repairs.




“Prior
Work” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph 4(C)(2)(b).




“Projected Cost Overruns” means the excess (if any), calculated as of the date of each
Construction Advance Request, of (1) the total of projected Reimbursable Construction Period
Costs yet to be incurred or for which NAI has yet to be reimbursed hereunder (including
projected Reimbursable Construction Period Costs for Future Work), over (2) the balance of
the remaining Construction Allowance then projected to be available to cover such costs. The
balance of the remaining Construction Allowance then projected to be available will equal:
(i) the amount (if any) by which the Maximum Construction Allowance exceeds the Funded
Construction Allowance, plus (ii) any Escrowed Proceeds then available or expected to be
available to cover costs of repairs and restoration that NAI will perform as part of the
Work after a casualty or condemnation, less (iii) all projected future Carrying Costs,
Commitment Fees, Administrative Fees and other amounts to be added to the Outstanding
Construction Allowance as provided in Paragraph 3.




“Projected Economic Depreciation of Equipment” means the difference (not less than zero)
calculated by subtracting (A) the amount determined by BNPPLC
(as provided in subparagraph 4(C)(2)(d))
to equal the projected fair value of Integral Equipment at the end of the scheduled Term of
the Lease, from (B) the 97-10/Project Costs attributable to such Integral Equipment.




“Reimbursable
Construction Period Costs” has the meaning indicated in
subparagraph 4(A).




“Remaining
Proceeds” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph 5(A).




“Scope Change” means a change to the Construction Project that, if implemented, will make
the quality, function or capacity of the Improvements “materially different” (as defined
below in this subparagraph) than as described or inferred by the site plan or plans and
renderings referenced in Exhibit B. The term “Scope Change” is not intended to include the mere refinement, correction or detailing of the site
plan, plans or renderings submitted to BNPPLC by NAI. As used in this definition, a
“material difference” means


Construction Management Agreement — Page 10

 









 










a difference that could reasonably be expected to (a) cause the
Lease Balance to exceed the fair market value of the Property when the Construction Project
is completed and all Construction Advances required in connection therewith have been
funded, or significantly increase any such excess, (b) change the general character of the
Improvements from that needed to accommodate the uses to be permitted by subparagraph
2(A) of the Lease, or (c) cause or exacerbate Projected Cost Overruns.




“Target Completion Date” means the last day of the 18th calendar month following
the Effective Date.




“Termination of NAI’s Work” means a termination of NAI’s rights and obligations to continue
the Work because of an election to terminate made by NAI pursuant to
subparagraph 7(B) or
because of an election by BNPPLC made pursuant to subparagraph 7(C).




“Third
Party Contract” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph
2(A)(2)(b).




“Third Party Contract/Termination Fees” means any amounts, however denominated, for which
NAI will be obligated under a Third Party Contract as a result of any election or decision
by NAI to terminate such Third Party Contract, including demobilization costs; provided,
however, amounts payable only by reason of Prior Work as of the date any such termination
will not be characterized as Third Party Contract/Termination Fees. If NAI reserves an
absolute express right in a Third Party Contract to terminate such contract at any time,
without cause, for a specified U.S. dollar amount, such amount will constitute a Third Party
Contract/Termination Fee. If no such right is reserved in a Third Party Contract, the
amount of damages that NAI is required to pay (in addition to payments required for Prior
Work) upon a repudiation of the Third Party Contract by NAI will qualify as a “Third Party
Contract/Termination Fee” applicable to such contract for purposes of this Agreement.




“Work”
has the meaning indicated in subparagraph 2(A)(2)(a).




“Work/Suspension Event” means any of the following:




     (1) Projected Cost Overruns have become more likely than not, in BNPPLC’s good faith
judgment (taking into account any notices or Construction Draw Requests from NAI indicating
that a Pre-lease Force Majeure Event may result in Projected
Cost Overruns), and BNPPLC has notified NAI of such judgement and the reasons therefor.




     (2) Delays in the Work (including any delays resulting from damage to the Property by fire
or other casualty or from any taking of any part of the Property by


Construction Management Agreement — Page 11

 









 








condemnation) have made it substantially unlikely, in BNPPLC’s good faith judgment, that NAI will be able to
complete the Construction Project in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement
prior to the Target Completion Date using only the funds available to NAI under this
Agreement, and BNPPLC has notified NAI of such judgement and the reasons therefor.





     (3) BNPPLC has requested with respect to any Construction Advance, but NAI has failed to
provide within thirty days after receipt of the request: (1) invoices, requests for payment
from contractors and other evidence reasonably establishing that the costs and expenses for
which NAI has requested or is requesting reimbursement constitute actual Reimbursable
Construction Period Costs, and (2) canceled checks, lien waivers or other evidence
reasonably establishing that all prior Construction Advances paid to NAI have been used by
NAI to pay the Reimbursable Construction Period Costs for which the prior advances were
requested and made.




“Work/Suspension Notice” means a notice from BNPPLC to NAI advising NAI of any event or
circumstances that constitute a Work/Suspension Event and advising NAI that (1) before the
Work/Suspension Event is rectified BNPPLC may limit Construction Advances to NAI as
permitted by this Agreement, and (2) unless NAI does rectify the Work/Suspension Event
within thirty days after NAI’s receipt of such notice, BNPPLC may elect to send an FOCB
Notice in anticipation of a Termination of NAI’s Work.





“Work/Suspension Period” means any period (1) beginning with the date of any Work/Suspension
Notice, FOCB Notice or Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate, and (2) ending on the earlier of
(a) the first date upon which (i) no Work/Suspension Events are continuing, (ii) all
previous FOCB Notices and Notices of NAI’s Intent to Terminate (if any) have been rescinded,
and (iii) no 97-10/Events have occurred, or (b) the effective date of any Termination of
NAI’s Work as described in subparagraph 7(B) or subparagraph 7(C).



2 Construction and Management of the Property by NAI.





(A) The Construction Project.




(1) Construction Approvals by BNPPLC.




     (a) Preconstruction Approvals by BNPPLC. NAI submitted and obtained BNPPLC’s
approval of the site plan and descriptions of the Construction Project referenced in
Exhibit B. Also set forth in Exhibit B is a general description of the
Construction Project. The Construction Project, as constructed by NAI pursuant to
this Agreement, and all construction contracts and other agreements


Construction Management Agreement — Page 12

 









 










executed or adopted by NAI in connection therewith, must not be inconsistent in any material
respect with the plans or other items referenced in Exhibit B, except to the
extent otherwise provided by any Scope Change approved by BNPPLC and except as
otherwise provided in subparagraph 8(A) if BNPPLC should make an Owner’s Election to
Continue Construction after any Termination of NAI’s Work.




     (b) Approval of Scope Changes. Before making a Scope Change, NAI must
provide to BNPPLC a reasonably detailed written description of the Scope Change, a
revised Construction Budget and a copy of any changes to the drawings, plans and
specifications for the Improvements required in connection therewith, all of which
must be approved in writing by BNPPLC before the Scope Change is implemented. After
receiving such items, BNPPLC will endeavor in good faith to respond promptly (and in
any event no later than thirty days after such receipt) to any request by NAI for
approval of the Scope Change. BNPPLC will not, however, be liable for any failure
to provide a prompt response. Further, BNPPLC’s approval will not in any event
constitute a waiver of subparagraph 2(A)(3) or of any other provision of this Agreement or
other Operative Documents.




     (2) NAI’s Right to Possession and to Control Construction. Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement, and prior to any Termination of NAI’s Work as
provided in subparagraphs 7(B) and 7(C), NAI will have possession of the Land and all Improvements
on the Land to the exclusion of BNPPLC and will have the sole right to control and the sole
responsibility for the design and construction of the Construction Project, including the
means, methods, sequences and procedures implemented to accomplish such design and
construction. Although title to all Improvements will vest in BNPPLC (as more particularly
provided in subparagraph 2(C)), BNPPLC’s obligation with respect to the Construction Project
will be limited to the making of advances under and subject to the conditions set forth in
this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, NAI acknowledges and agrees that:




     (a)
Performance of the Work. Except as provided in subparagraphs
7(A) and 7(D), NAI
must, using its best skill and judgment and in an expeditious and economical manner
not inconsistent with the interests of BNPPLC, perform or cause to be performed all
work required, and must provide or cause to be provided all supplies and materials
required, to design and complete construction of the
Construction Project (collectively “Work”) no later than the Target Completion Date.
The Work will include obtaining all necessary building permits and other
governmental approvals required in connection with the design and construction of
the Construction Project, or required in connection with the use and occupancy
thereof (e.g., final certificates of occupancy). The Work will


Construction Management Agreement — Page 13

 









 










also include any repairs or restoration required because of damage to Improvements by fire or other
casualty prior to the Completion Date (a “Pre-lease Casualty”); provided, however,
the cost of any such repairs or restoration will be subject to reimbursement not
only through Construction Advances made to NAI on and subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, but also through the application of Escrowed Proceeds
as provided in Paragraph 5; and, provided further, like other Work, any such repairs
and restoration to be provided by NAI will be subject to
subparagraphs 7(A) and 7(D), which
establish certain rights of NAI to suspend or discontinue any Work. NAI will
carefully schedule and supervise all Work, will check all materials and services
used in connection with all Work and will keep full and detailed accounts as may be
necessary to document expenditures made or expenses incurred for the Work.




     (b) Third Party Contracts.




     1) NAI will not enter into any construction contract or other agreement with
a third party concerning the Work or the Construction Project (a “Third
Party Contract”) in the name of BNPPLC or otherwise purport to bind BNPPLC
to any obligation to any third party.




     2) In any Third Party Contract between NAI and any of its Affiliates (an
“Affiliate’s Contract”) NAI must reserve the right to terminate such
contract at any time, without cause, and without subjecting NAI to liability
for any Third Party Contract/Termination Fee. Further, NAI must not enter
into any Affiliate’s Contract that obligates NAI to pay more than would be
required under an arms-length contract or that would require NAI to pay its
Affiliate any amount in excess of the sum of actual, out-of-pocket direct
costs and internal labor costs incurred by the Affiliate to perform such
contract.




     (c) Adequacy of Drawings, Specifications and Budgets. BNPPLC has not made
and will not make any representations as to the adequacy of the Construction Budget
or any other budget or any site plans, renderings, plans, drawings or specifications
for the Construction Project, and no modification of any such budgets, site plans,
renderings, plans, drawings or specifications
that may be required from time to time will entitle NAI to any adjustment in the
Construction Allowance.




     (d) Existing Condition of the Land and Improvements. NAI is familiar with
the conditions of the Land and any existing Improvements on the Land. NAI will have
no claim for damages against BNPPLC or for an increase in the


Construction Management Agreement — Page 14

 









 










Construction Allowance
or for an extension of the deadline specified in subparagraph
2(A)(2)(a) for completing the
Work by reason of any condition (concealed or otherwise) of or affecting the Land or
Improvements.




     (e) Correction of Defective Work. NAI will promptly correct all Work
performed prior to any Termination of NAI’s Work that does not comply with the
requirements of this Agreement for any reason other than a Pre-lease Casualty
(“Defective Work”). If NAI fails to correct any Defective Work or fails to carry out
Work in accordance with this Agreement, BNPPLC may (but will not be required to)
order NAI to stop all Work until the cause for such failure has been eliminated.




     (f) Clean Up. Upon the completion of all Work, NAI will remove all waste
material and rubbish from and about the Land, as well as all tools, construction
equipment, machinery and surplus materials. NAI will keep the Land and the
Improvements thereon in a reasonably safe and sightly condition as Work progresses.




     (g) No Damage for Delays. NAI will have no claim for damages against BNPPLC
or for an increase in the Construction Allowance by reason of any delay in the
performance of any Work. Nor will NAI have any claim for an extension of the
deadline specified in subparagraph 2(A)(2)(a) for completing the Work because of any such
period of delay, except that (i) in the case of any Pre-lease Force Majeure Delays,
NAI will have certain rights as set forth in subparagraph 7(B) and other provisions of
this Agreement, and (ii) in the event of intentional interference with the Work by
BNPPLC itself for which NAI provides written notice to cease, NAI will be entitled
to an extension of the deadline specified in subparagraph 2(A)(2)(a) as needed because of any
delays resulting from such intentional interference. It is also understood that any
such intentional interference by BNPPLC will constitute a Force Majeure Event. In
no event, however, will BNPPLC’s exercise of its rights and remedies permitted under
this Agreement or the other Operative Documents be construed as intentional
interference with NAI’s performance of any Work; and thus neither BNPPLC’s exercise
of its right to withhold Construction Advances at any time when NAI has failed to
satisfy all conditions herein to such advances, nor BNPPLC’s exercise of its right
to terminate Work by NAI
as provided in subparagraph 7(C), be considered as intentional interference with the
Work or a Pre-lease Force Majeure Event.




     (h) No Fee For Construction Management. NAI will have no claim under this
Agreement for any fee or other compensation or for any reimbursement


Construction Management Agreement — Page 15

 









 








of internal
administrative or overhead expenses (other than the out-of-pocket overhead expenses
properly included in the Construction Budget, if any), it being understood that NAI
is executing this Agreement in consideration of the rights expressly granted to it
herein and in the other Operative Documents.





     (3) Quality of Work. NAI will cause the Work undertaken and administered by it
pursuant to this Agreement to be performed (a) in a safe and good and workmanlike manner,
(b) in accordance with Applicable Laws, and (c) in compliance with the provisions of this
Agreement and the material provisions of the Permitted Encumbrances.



     (B) Completion Notice. Within ten Business Days after NAI substantially completes
construction of the Construction Project and obtains any certificate of occupancy or other permit
(temporary or permanent) required by Applicable Laws for the commencement of NAI’s use and
occupancy of the Improvements, NAI must provide a notice (a “Completion Notice”) to BNPPLC,
advising BNPPLC thereof, and thereby establish the Completion Date. For purposes of this
Agreement and the other Operative Documents, BNPPLC will be entitled to rely without investigation
upon any such notice given by NAI as evidence that NAI has, in fact, substantially completed the
Construction Project and has obtained any certificate of occupancy or other permit (temporary or
permanent) required for the commencement of NAI’s use of the Improvements, and after giving any
such notice NAI will be estopped from later claiming that the Completion Date has not occurred.



     (C) Status of Property Acquired With BNPPLC’s Funds. All Improvements constructed on
the Land as provided in this Agreement will constitute “Property” for purposes of the Lease and
other Operative Documents. Further, to the extent heretofore or hereafter acquired (in whole or in
part) with any portion of the Initial Advance or with any Construction Advances or with other funds
for which NAI receives reimbursement from the Initial Advance or Construction Advances, all
furnishings, furniture, chattels, permits, licenses, franchises, certificates and other personal
property of whatever nature will be considered as having been acquired on behalf of BNPPLC by NAI
and will constitute “Property” for purposes of the Lease and other Operative Documents, as will all
renewals or replacements of or substitutions for any such Property. The parties intend that title
to the Improvements and to any other such Property will vest in BNPPLC without passing through NAI
or NAI’s Affiliates before it is transferred to BNPPLC from contractors, suppliers, vendors or
other third Persons, but with the understanding that all such Property will be
accepted by BNPPLC subject to the terms and conditions of the other Operative Documents,
including subparagraph 4(C)(1) of the Lease (concerning the characterization of the Lease
and other Operative Documents for tax and certain other purposes). Although nothing herein
constitutes authorization of NAI by BNPPLC to bind BNPPLC to any construction contract or other
agreement with a third Person, any construction contract or other agreement executed by NAI for the
acquisition or construction of Improvements or other components of the Property may, as NAI deems
appropriate, provide for the direct transfer of


Construction Management Agreement — Page 16

 









 









title to BNPPLC as described in the preceding sentence.





(D) Insurance.




     (1) Liability Insurance. Throughout the period prior to the earlier of any
Termination of NAI’s Work or the Completion Date, NAI must maintain commercial general
liability insurance against claims for bodily and personal injury, death and property damage
occurring in or upon or resulting from any occurrence in or upon the Property under one or
more insurance policies that satisfy the Minimum Insurance Requirements, which are set forth
in an exhibit to the Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement. NAI must deliver and
maintain with BNPPLC for each liability insurance policy required by this Agreement written
confirmation of the policy and the scope of the coverage provided thereby issued by the
applicable insurer or its authorized agent, which confirmation must also satisfy the Minimum
Insurance Requirements.




     (2) Property Insurance. Throughout the period prior to the earlier of any
Termination of NAI’s Work or the Completion Date, NAI must also keep all Improvements
(including all alterations, additions and changes made to the Improvements) and Integral
Equipment insured against fire and other casualty under one or more property insurance
policies that satisfy the Minimum Insurance Requirements. NAI must deliver and maintain with
BNPPLC for each property insurance policy required by this Agreement written confirmation of
the policy and the scope of the coverage provided thereby issued by the applicable insurer
or its authorized agent, which confirmation must also satisfy the Minimum Insurance
Requirements. If any of the Property is destroyed or damaged by fire, explosion, windstorm,
hail or by any other casualty against which insurance has been required hereunder, (i)
BNPPLC may, but will not be obligated to, make proof of loss if not made promptly by NAI
after notice from BNPPLC, (ii) each insurance company concerned is hereby authorized and
directed to make payment for such loss directly to BNPPLC for application as required by
Paragraph 5, and (iii) BNPPLC may settle, adjust or compromise any and all claims for loss,
damage or destruction under any policy or policies of insurance (provided, that so long as
no 97-10/Event has occurred and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, BNPPLC
must provide NAI with at least forty-five days notice of BNPPLC’s intention to settle any
such claim before settling it unless NAI has already approved of the settlement by
BNPPLC). BNPPLC will not in any event or circumstances be liable or responsible for failure
to collect, or to exercise diligence in the collection of, any insurance proceeds. If any
casualty results in damage to or loss or destruction of the Property, NAI must give prompt
notice thereof to BNPPLC and Paragraph 5 will apply.




     (3) Failure of NAI to Obtain Insurance. If NAI fails to obtain any insurance or to
provide confirmation of any insurance as required by this Agreement, BNPPLC will be


Construction Management Agreement — Page 17

 









 










entitled (but not required) to obtain the insurance that NAI has failed to obtain or for which NAI
has not provided the required confirmation and, without limiting BNPPLC’s other remedies
under the circumstances, BNPPLC may charge the cost of such insurance against the
Construction Allowance as if it were a Construction Advance paid to NAI as hereinafter
provided.




     (4) Waiver of Subrogation. NAI, for itself and for any Person claiming through
it (including any insurance company claiming by way of subrogation), waives any and every
claim which arises or may arise in its favor against BNPPLC or any other Interested Party
for any and all Losses, to the extent that NAI is compensated by insurance or would be
compensated by the insurance policies contemplated in this Agreement, but for any deductible
or self-insured retention maintained under such insurance or but for a failure of NAI to
maintain the insurance as required by this Agreement. NAI agrees to have such insurance
policies properly endorsed so as to make them valid notwithstanding this waiver, if such
endorsement is required to prevent a loss of insurance.



     (E) Condemnation. Immediately upon obtaining knowledge of the institution of any
proceedings for the condemnation of the Property or any portion thereof, or any other similar
governmental or quasi-governmental proceedings arising out of injury or damage to the Property or
any portion thereof, each party must promptly notify the other (provided, however, BNPPLC will have
no liability for its failure to provide such notice) of the pendency of such proceedings. Prior to
any Termination of NAI’s Work, NAI must, if requested by BNPPLC, diligently prosecute any such
proceedings and consult with BNPPLC, its attorneys and experts and cooperate with them as
reasonably requested in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. All proceeds of
condemnation awards or proceeds of sale in lieu of condemnation with respect to the Property and
all judgments, decrees and awards for injury or damage to the Property will be paid to BNPPLC as
Escrowed Proceeds, and all such proceeds will be applied as provided in Paragraph 5. BNPPLC is
hereby authorized, in its own name or in the name of NAI or in the name of both, to settle and
deliver valid acquittances for, or to challenge and to appeal from, any such judgment, decree or
award concerning condemnation of any of the Property (provided, that so long as no 97-10/Event has
occurred and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, BNPPLC must provide NAI with at
least forty-five days notice of BNPPLC’s
intention to settle any such claim before settling it unless NAI has already approved of the
settlement by BNPPLC). BNPPLC will not in any event or circumstances be liable or responsible for
failure to collect, or to exercise diligence in the collection of, any such proceeds, judgments,
decrees or awards.


Construction Management Agreement — Page 18

 









 









     (F) Additional Representations, Warranties and Covenants of NAI Concerning the
Property. Without limiting the rights granted to NAI by other provisions of this Agreement to
be reimbursed from Construction Advances for the cost of complying with the following, NAI
represents, warrants and covenants as follows:




     (1) Payment of Local Impositions. Throughout the period prior to any
Termination of NAI’s Work, NAI must pay or cause to be paid prior to delinquency all ad
valorem taxes assessed against the Property and other Local Impositions. If requested by
BNPPLC from time to time, NAI will furnish BNPPLC with receipts or other appropriate
evidence showing payment of all Local Impositions prior to the applicable delinquency date
therefor.




     Notwithstanding the foregoing, NAI may in good faith, by appropriate proceedings, contest
the validity, applicability or amount of any asserted Local Imposition, and pending such
contest NAI will not be deemed in default under any of the provisions of this Agreement
because of the Local Imposition if (1) NAI diligently prosecutes such contest to completion
in a manner reasonably satisfactory to BNPPLC, and (2) NAI promptly causes to be paid any
amount adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be due, with all costs, penalties
and interest thereon, promptly after such judgment becomes final; provided, however, in any
event each such contest must be concluded and the contested Local Impositions must be paid
by NAI prior to the earlier of (i) the date that any criminal prosecution is instituted or
overtly threatened against BNPPLC or its directors, officers or employees because of the
nonpayment thereof, or (ii) the date any writ or order is issued under which any property
owned or leased by BNPPLC (including the Property) may be seized or sold or any other action
is taken or overtly threatened against BNPPLC or against any property owned or leased by
BNPPLC because of the nonpayment thereof, or (iii) any Designated Sale Date upon which, for
any reason, NAI or an Affiliate of NAI or any Applicable Purchaser does not purchase
BNPPLC’s interest in the Property pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for a price to BNPPLC
(when taken together with any Supplemental Payment paid by NAI pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement, in the case of a purchase by an Applicable Purchaser) equal to the Break Even
Price.




     (2) Operation and Maintenance. Throughout the period prior to any Termination
of NAI’s Work, NAI must operate and maintain the Property in a good and workmanlike manner
and in compliance with Applicable Laws in all material respects and pay or cause to be paid
all fees or charges of any kind in connection
therewith. (If NAI does not promptly correct any failure of the Property to comply
with Applicable Laws that is the subject of a written complaint or demand for corrective
action given by any Governmental Authority to NAI, or to BNPPLC and forwarded by it to NAI,
then for purposes of the preceding sentence, NAI will be considered not to have maintained the


Construction Management Agreement — Page 19

 









 










Property “in compliance with all Applicable Laws in all material respects” whether or
not the noncompliance would be material in the absence of the complaint or demand.) NAI
must not use or occupy, or allow the use or occupancy of, the Property in any manner which
violates any Applicable Law or which constitutes a public or private nuisance or which makes
void, voidable or cancelable any insurance then in force with respect thereto. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, NAI must not conduct or permit others to conduct
Hazardous Substance Activities on the Property, except Permitted Hazardous Substance Use and
Remedial Work; and NAI must not discharge or permit the discharge of anything (including
Permitted Hazardous Substances) on or from the Property that would require any permit under
applicable Environmental Laws, other than (1) storm water runoff, (2) fume hood emissions,
(3) waste water discharges through a publicly owned treatment works, (4) discharges that are
a necessary part of any Remedial Work, and (5) other similar discharges consistent with the
definition herein of Permitted Hazardous Substance Use which do not significantly increase
the risk of Environmental Losses to BNPPLC, in each case in strict compliance with
Environmental Laws. To the extent that any of the following would, individually or in the
aggregate, increase the likelihood of a 97-10/Event or materially and adversely affect the
value of the Property or the use of the Property for purposes permitted by this Agreement,
NAI must not, without BNPPLC’s prior consent: (i) initiate or permit any zoning
reclassification of the Property; (ii) seek any variance under existing zoning ordinances
applicable to the Property; (iii) use or permit the use of the Property in a manner that
would result in such use becoming a nonconforming use under applicable zoning ordinances or
similar laws, rules or regulations; (iv) execute or file any subdivision plat affecting the
Property; or (v) consent to the annexation of the Property to any municipality. NAI will not
cause or permit any drilling or exploration for, or extraction, removal or production of,
minerals from the surface or subsurface of the Property, and NAI must not do anything that
could reasonably be expected to significantly reduce the market value of the Property. If
NAI receives a notice or claim from any federal, state or other governmental authority that
the Property is not in compliance with any Applicable Law, or that any action may be taken
against BNPPLC because the Property does not comply with any Applicable Law, NAI must
promptly furnish a copy of such notice or claim to BNPPLC.




     (3) Debts for Construction, Maintenance, Operation or Development. NAI must
promptly pay or cause to be paid all debts and liabilities incurred it or its contractors or
subcontractors in the construction, maintenance, operation or development of the
Property. Such debts and liabilities will include those incurred for labor, material and
equipment and all debts and charges for utilities servicing the Property.




     (4) Permitted Encumbrances and the Ground Lease. NAI must comply with and will cause
to be performed all of the covenants, agreements and obligations imposed upon the owner of
any interest in the Property by the Permitted Encumbrances or the


Construction Management Agreement — Page 20

 









 










Ground Lease throughout the period prior to any Termination of NAI’s Work. NAI must not, without the prior consent
of BNPPLC, create any new Permitted Encumbrance or enter into, initiate, approve or consent
to any modification of any Permitted Encumbrance that would create or expand or purport to
create or expand obligations or restrictions encumbering BNPPLC’s interest in the Property.
(Whether BNPPLC must give any such consent requested by NAI prior to the Completion Date
will be governed by subparagraph 4(C) of the Closing Certificate.)




     (5) Books and Records Concerning the Property. NAI must keep books and records
that are accurate and complete in all material respects for NAI’s construction and
management of the Property as contemplated in this Agreement and must permit all such books
and records (including all contracts, statements, invoices, bills and claims for labor,
materials and services supplied for the construction and operation of any Improvements) to
be inspected and copied by BNPPLC.




(G) BNPPLC’s Right of Access.




     (1) Access Generally. BNPPLC and BNPPLC’s representatives may enter the Property at
any time for the purpose of making inspections or performing any work BNPPLC is authorized
to undertake by the next subparagraph or for the purpose confirming whether NAI has complied
with the requirements of this Agreement or the other Operative Documents. However, prior to
any Termination of NAI’s Work, BNPPLC or BNPPLC’s representative will, before making any
entry upon the Property or performing any work on the Property authorized by this Agreement,
do the following




     (2) BNPPLC will give NAI at least 24 hours notice, unless BNPPLC believes in good faith that
an emergency may exist or a Default has occurred and is continuing, because of which
significant damage to the Property or other significant Losses may be sustained if BNPPLC
delays entry to the Property; and




     (3) if then requested to do so by NAI in order to maintain NAI’s security, BNPPLC or its
representative will: (i) sign in at NAI’s security or information desk if NAI has such a
desk on the premises, (ii) wear a visitor’s badge or other reasonable identification, (iii)
permit an employee of NAI to observe such inspection or work, and (iv) comply with other
similar reasonable nondiscriminatory security
requirements of NAI that do not, individually or in the aggregate, significantly interfere
with inspections or work of BNPPLC authorized by this Agreement.




     (4) Failure of NAI to Perform. If NAI fails to perform any act or to take any
action required of it by this Agreement or other Operative Documents, or to pay any money
which NAI is required by this Agreement or other Operative Documents to pay,


Construction Management Agreement — Page 21

 









 






and if such failure or action constitutes an Event of Default or renders BNPPLC or any director,
officer, employee or Affiliate of BNPPLC at risk of criminal prosecution or renders BNPPLC’s
interest in the Property or any part thereof at risk of forfeiture by forced sale or
otherwise, then in addition to any other remedies specified herein or otherwise available,
BNPPLC may, perform or cause to be performed such act or take such action or pay such money.
(To the extent that expenses so incurred by BNPPLC, and money so paid by BNPPLC, qualify as
a Covered Construction Period Losses, NAI must pay the same to BNPPLC upon demand. If any
such expenses incurred or money paid do not qualify as Covered Construction Period Losses,
but do constitute 97-10/Project Costs, BNPPLC may treat them as Construction Advances
hereunder. To the extent that any such expenses incurred or money paid do not qualify as
Covered Construction Period Losses and do constitute 97-10/Project Costs, they will be
included — with interest — in the Balance of Unpaid Covered Construction Period Losses under
and as defined in the Purchase Agreement.) Further, BNPPLC, upon making such payment, will
be subrogated to all of the rights of the person, corporation or body politic receiving such
payment. But nothing herein will imply any duty upon the part of BNPPLC to do any work
which, under any provision of this Agreement or otherwise, NAI may be required to perform,
and the performance thereof by BNPPLC will not constitute a waiver of NAI’s default. BNPPLC
may during the progress of any such work permitted by BNPPLC hereunder on or in the Property
keep and store upon the Property all necessary materials, tools, and equipment. BNPPLC will
not in any event be liable for inconvenience, annoyance, disturbance, loss of business, or
other damage to NAI or the subtenants or invitees of NAI by reason of BNPPLC’s performance
of any such work, or on account of bringing materials, supplies and equipment into or
through the Property during the course of such work, and the obligations of NAI under this
Agreement and the other Operative Documents will not thereby be excused in any manner.



3 Amounts to be Added to the Lease Balance (in Addition to Construction Advances).




     (A) Initial Advance. Upon execution and delivery of this Agreement by BNPPLC, an
advance (the “Initial Advance”) will be made by BNPPLC to cover the cost of certain Transaction
Expenses and other amounts described in this subparagraph. The amount of the
Initial Advance, which will be included in the Lease Balance, may be confirmed by a separate
closing certificate executed by NAI as of the Effective Date. An arrangement fee (the “Arrangement
Fee”) and an initial administrative agency fee (an “Administrative Fee”) will be paid from the
Initial Advance (and thus be included in the Lease Balance) in the amounts provided in the Term
Sheet. To the extent that BNPPLC does not itself use the entire the Initial Advance to pay such
fees and Transaction Expenses incurred by BNPPLC, the remainder thereof will be advanced to NAI,
with the understanding that NAI will use any such amount advanced for


Construction Management Agreement — Page 22





 










 





one or more of the following purposes: (1) the payment or
reimbursement of Transaction Expenses incurred by NAI and all “soft costs” incurred by NAI in
connection with the planning, design, engineering, construction and permitting of the Construction
Project; (2) the maintenance of the Property; or (3) the payment of other amounts due pursuant to
the Operative Documents. (Before executing the separate closing certificate to confirm the Initial
Advance, NAI will make a reasonable effort to determine all prior expenses incurred by it as
described in clause (1) of the preceding sentence and to request an Initial Advance sufficient in
amount to cover all such expenses in addition to the Arrangement Fee, the Administrative Fee and
all Transaction Expenses incurred by BNPPLC. However, no failure by NAI to identify and include
all such expenses in the amount of the requested Initial Advance will preclude NAI from requesting
reimbursement for the same through a subsequent Construction Advance as provided in Paragraph 4.
Reimbursable Construction Period Costs to be paid or reimbursed pursuant to Paragraph 4 will not be
limited to those incurred after the Effective Date.)




     (B) Carrying Costs. For each Construction Period certain charges (“Carrying Costs”)
will accrue and be added to the Outstanding Construction Allowance on the last day of such
Construction Period (i.e., generally on the Advance Date upon which such Construction Period ends).
If, however, for any reason the Lease Balance (and thus the Outstanding Construction Allowance
included as a component thereof) must be determined as of any date between Advance Dates, the
Outstanding Construction Allowance determined on such date will include not only Carrying Costs
added on or before the immediately preceding Advance Date computed as described below, but also
Carrying Costs accruing on and after such preceding Advance Date to but not including the date in
question. Carrying Costs accruing for any Construction Period will be equal to:




	 	•	 	the amount equal on the first day of such Construction Period to the Lease
Balance, times
	 
	 	•	 	the sum of the Effective Rate and the Spread for such Construction Period,
times
	 
	 	•	 	a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such
Construction Period and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty.





     (C) Commitment Fees. For each Construction Period additional charges
(“Commitment Fees”) will accrue and be added to the Outstanding Construction Allowance on the last
day of such Construction Period (i.e., generally on the Advance Date upon which such Construction
Period ends). If, however, for any reason the Lease Balance (and thus the Outstanding Construction
Allowance included as a component thereof) must be determined as of any date between Advance Dates,
the Outstanding Construction Allowance determined on such date will include not only Commitment
Fees added on or before the immediately preceding


Construction
Management Agreement — Page 23




 









 







Advance Date computed as described below, but
also Commitment Fees accruing on and after such preceding Advance Date to but not including the
date in question. Commitment Fees for each Construction Period will be computed as follows:





	 	•	 	25.0 basis points (25/100 of 1%), times an amount equal to:






	 	(1)	 	the Maximum Construction Allowance, less
	 
	 	(2)	 	the Funded Construction Allowance on the first day of such Construction
Period; times






	 	•	 	the number of days in such Construction Period; divided by
	 
	 	•	 	three hundred sixty.





     (D) Future Administrative Fees and Out-of-Pocket Costs. If the Completion Date does
not occur prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date, then on each anniversary of the
Effective Date prior to the Completion Date, an administrative agency fee (also, an “Administrative
Fee”) will be added to the Outstanding Construction Allowance by BNPPLC in the amount provided in
the Term Sheet. Also, to the extent that BNPPLC incurs any out-of-pocket costs prior to the
Completion Date with respect to the administration of or performance of its obligations under this
Agreement or other Operative Documents (e.g., any rents required by the Ground Lease and any
Attorneys’ Fees or other costs incurred to evaluate lien releases and other information submitted
by NAI with requests for Construction Advances), BNPPLC may add such costs to the Outstanding
Construction Allowance from time to time.



     (E) Increased Cost Charges and Capital Adequacy Charges.




     (1) If after the Effective Date there is any increase in the cost to BNPPLC’s Parent or
any other Participant agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining advances to BNPPLC
in connection with the Property because of any Banking Rules Change, then BNPPLC may agree
or become obligated to pay to BNPPLC’s Parent or such other Participant, as the case may be,
additional amounts (“Increased Cost Charges”) sufficient to compensate BNPPLC’s Parent or
the Participant for such increased costs. Any Increased Cost Charges paid by BNPPLC or for
which BNPPLC becomes obligated to pay, prior to the Completion Date, will be added to the
Outstanding Construction Allowance by BNPPLC.




     (2) BNPPLC’s Parent or any other Participant may demand additional payments
(“Capital Adequacy Charges”) if BNPPLC’s Parent or the other Participant determines that any
Banking Rules Change affects the amount of capital to be maintained


Construction
Management Agreement — Page 24




 









 









by it and that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of advances made or to be
made to BNPPLC to permit BNPPLC to maintain BNPPLC’s investment in the Property or to make
Construction Advances. To the extent that BNPPLC’s Parent or a Participant demands Capital
Adequacy Charges as compensation for the additional capital requirements reasonably
allocable to such investment or advances, and BNPPLC pays or becomes obligated to pay to
BNPPLC’s Parent or the other Participant the amount so demanded prior to the Completion
Date, such amount will also be added to the Outstanding Construction Allowance by BNPPLC.




     (3) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subparagraph 3(E), the Outstanding Construction Allowance will not be increased by
Increased Cost Charges or Capital Adequacy Charges that arise or accrue (a) as a result of
any change in the rating assigned to BNPPLC by rating agencies or bank regulators in regard
to BNPPLC’s creditworthiness, record keeping or failure to comply with Applicable Laws
(including U.S. banking regulations applicable to subsidiaries of a bank holding company),
or (b) more than nine months prior to the date NAI is notified of the intent of BNPPLC’s
Parent or a Participant to make a claim for such charges; provided, that if the Banking
Rules Change which results in a claim for compensation is retroactive, then the nine month
period will be extended to include the period of the retroactive effect of such Banking
Rules Change. Further, BNPPLC will cause BNPPLC’s Parent and any Participant that is an
Affiliate of BNPPLC to use commercially reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate any claim
for compensation pursuant to this subparagraph 3(E), including a change in the office of
BNPPLC’s Parent or such Participant through which it provides and maintains Funding Advances
if such change will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will
not, in the reasonable judgment of BNPPLC’s Parent or such Participant, be otherwise
disadvantageous to it. It is understood that NAI may also request similar commercial
reasonable efforts on the part of any Participant that is not an Affiliate of BNPPLC, but if
a claim for additional compensation by any such Participant is not eliminated or waived,
then NAI may request that BNPPLC replace such Participant under the Participation Agreement.



     (F) Ground Lease Payments. All rentals payable by BNPPLC under the Ground Lease prior
to the Completion Date (“Ground Lease Rents”) will be added to the Outstanding Construction
Allowance by BNPPLC on the date paid.



4 Construction Advances.




     (A) Costs Subject to Reimbursement Through Construction Advances. Subject to
the terms and conditions set forth herein, NAI will be entitled to a Construction Allowance, from
which BNPPLC will make Construction Advances on Advance Dates from time to time to pay or


Construction
Management Agreement — Page 25




 









 







reimburse NAI for the following costs (“Reimbursable Construction Period Costs”) to the extent the following
costs are not already included in Transaction Expenses paid by BNPPLC from the Initial Advance:





     (1) the actual costs and expenses incurred or paid by NAI for the preparation,
negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the other Operative Documents;




     (2) costs of the Work, including not only hard costs incurred for the new Improvements described in Exhibit B, but also other the
following costs to the extent reasonably incurred in connection with the Construction
Project:




	 	•	 	soft costs payable to third parties (whether or not incurred prior to the Effective
Date), such as legal fees, architectural fees, engineering fees, construction
management fees, transaction management fees and fees and costs paid in connection with
obtaining project permits and approvals required by governmental authorities or any of
the Permitted Encumbrances,
	 
	 	•	 	site preparation costs,
	 
	 	•	 	subject to the conditions set forth in subparagraph 4(C)(2)(d), the costs of
procuring and installing Integral Equipment, and
	 
	 	•	 	costs of offsite and other public improvements required as conditions of
governmental approvals for the Construction Project;






     (3) the cost of title insurance in favor of BNPPLC and of maintaining other insurance
required by (and consistent with the requirements of) this Agreement prior to the Completion
Date, and costs of repairing any damage to the Improvements caused by a Pre-lease Casualty
to the extent such costs are not covered by Escrowed Proceeds made available to NAI as
provided herein prior to the Completion Date;




     (4) Local Impositions that accrue or become due prior to the Completion Date;




     (5) reasonable and ordinary out-of-pocket costs of operating and maintaining the
Property prior to the Completion Date in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement;




     (6) Third Party Contract/Termination Fees, not to exceed in the aggregate ten
percent (10%) of the Maximum Construction Allowance, payable by NAI in connection with any
Third Party Contract between NAI and a Person not an Affiliate of NAI because of any
election by NAI to cancel or terminate such contract during a Work/Suspension


Construction
Management Agreement — Page 26




 









 









Period; and




     (7) furniture, trade fixtures and equipment and other tenant improvements to support
NAI’s use and occupancy of the Property for the permitted uses described in subparagraph
2(A) of the Lease, but that are not integral to or affixed in such a manner as to become
part of the Improvements, the aggregate cost of
which does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the Maximum Construction Allowance;
provided, that no Construction Advance for furniture and other items described in this
clause will be required of BNPPLC or requested by NAI before the Construction Project is
substantially complete and substantially all other Reimbursable Construction Period Costs
have been paid or reimbursed from Construction Advances.



     (B) Exclusions From Reimbursable Construction Period Costs. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, BNPPLC will not be required to make any Construction Advance to pay or to
reimburse or compensate NAI for Covered Construction Period Losses paid by NAI as provided in
subparagraph 10(A) or for any of the following Losses which may be incurred by NAI or any other
party:




     (1) Environmental Losses;




     (2) Losses that would not have been incurred but for any affirmative act taken by NAI
or of any NAI’s contractors or subcontractors, which act is contrary to the other terms and
conditions of this Agreement or to the terms and conditions of the other Operative Documents
(e.g., undertaking a Scope Change without prior authorization of BNPPLC);




     (3) Losses that would not have been incurred but for any fraud, misapplication of
Construction Advances or other funds, illegal acts or willful misconduct on the part of the
NAI or its employees or of any other party acting under NAI’s control or with the approval
or authorization of NAI; and




     (4) Losses that would not have been incurred but for any bankruptcy proceeding
involving NAI.



     (C) Conditions to NAI’s Right to Receive Construction Advances. BNPPLC’s obligation to
provide Construction Advances to NAI from time to time under this Agreement will be subject to the
following terms and conditions, all of which terms and conditions are intended for the sole benefit
of BNPPLC, and none of which will limit in any way the right of BNPPLC to treat costs or
expenditures incurred or paid by or on behalf of BNPPLC as Construction Advances pursuant to
subparagraph 8(A):


Construction
Management Agreement — Page 27




 









 








     (1) Construction Advance Requests. NAI must make a written request (a
“Construction Advance Request”) for any Construction Advance, specifying the amount of such
advance, at least five Business Days prior to the Advance Date upon which the advance is to
be paid. To be effective for purposes of this Agreement, a Construction Advance Request must
be in substantially the form attached as Exhibit C. NAI will not submit more than one Construction Advance Request in
any calendar month.



     (2) Amount of the Advances.




     (a) The Maximum Construction Allowance. NAI will not be entitled to
require any Construction Advance that would cause the Funded Construction Allowance
to exceed the Maximum Construction Allowance or that would increase the amount of
such excess.




     (b) Costs Previously Incurred by NAI. NAI will not be entitled to
require any Construction Advance that would cause the aggregate of all Construction
Advances to exceed the sum of:




     (i) Reimbursable Construction Period Costs that NAI has, to the
reasonable satisfaction of BNPPLC, substantiated as having been paid or
incurred by NAI other than for Work (e.g., Local Impositions), plus




     (ii) the Reimbursable Construction Period Costs that NAI has, to the
reasonable satisfaction of BNPPLC, substantiated as having been paid or
incurred for Prior Work as of the date of the Construction Advance Request
in which NAI requests the advance.




As used in this Agreement, “Prior Work” means all labor and services actually
performed, and all materials actually delivered to the construction site, in
accordance with this Agreement prior to the date in question as part of the Work,
and “Future Work” means labor and services performed or to be performed, and
materials delivered or to be delivered, on or after the date in question as part of
the Work. For purposes of this Agreement, NAI and BNPPLC intend to allocate
Reimbursable Construction Period Costs between Prior Work and Future Work in a
manner that is generally consistent with the allocations expressed or implied in
construction-related contracts negotiated in good faith between NAI and third
parties not affiliated with NAI (e.g., a general contractor); however, in order to
verify the amount of Reimbursable Construction Period Costs actually paid or
incurred by NAI and the proper allocation thereof between Prior Work and Future
Work, BNPPLC will be entitled (but not required) to: (x) request, receive and


Construction
Management Agreement — Page 28




 









 









review
copies of such agreements between NAI and third parties and of draw requests,
budgets or other supporting documents provided to NAI in connection with or pursuant
to such agreements as evidence of the allocations expressed or implied therein, (y)
from time to time engage one or more independent inspecting architects, certified
public accountants or other appropriate professional consultants and, absent manifest error, rely without further investigation upon
their reports and recommendations, and (z) without waiving BNPPLC’s right to
challenge or verify allocations required with respect to future Construction
Advances, rely without investigation upon the accuracy of NAI’s own Construction
Advance Requests.




     (c) Limits During any Work/Suspension Period. Without limiting the
other terms and conditions imposed by this Agreement for the benefit of BNPPLC with
respect all Construction Advances, BNPPLC will have no obligation to make any
Construction Advance during any Work/Suspension Period that would cause the
aggregate of all Construction Advances to exceed the sum of:




     (i) Reimbursable Construction Period Costs that NAI has, to the
reasonable satisfaction of BNPPLC, substantiated as having been paid or
incurred by NAI other than for Work (e.g., Local Impositions), plus




     (ii) the Reimbursable Construction Period Costs that NAI has, to the
reasonable satisfaction of BNPPLC, substantiated as having been paid or
incurred for Prior Work as of the date the Work/Suspension Period commenced.




For purposes of computing the limits described in this subparagraph 4(C)(2)(c),
Reimbursable Construction Period Costs “other than for Work” will include Third
Party Contract/Termination Fees that qualify as Reimbursable Construction Period
Costs pursuant to subparagraph 4(A)(6). However, as provided in subparagraph
4(A)(6), the amount of such Third Party Contract/Termination Fees subject to
reimbursement will not in any event exceed ten percent (10%) of the Maximum
Construction Allowance. If NAI fails to manage and administer Third Party Contracts
as necessary to ensure that NAI can (at any point in time) terminate all such
contracts without becoming liable for Third Party Contract/Termination Fees in
excess of ten percent (10%) of the Maximum Construction Allowance, then the excess
will be the responsibility of NAI.




     (d) Conditions to Funding for the Cost of Integral Equipment.
No Construction Advance for the costs of procuring or installing any Integral
Equipment will be required of BNPPLC or requested by NAI before (i) NAI has


Construction
Management Agreement — Page 29




 









 









delivered to BNPPLC a reasonably detailed description of such Integral Equipment,
sufficient to allow BNPPLC to have it appraised, (ii) BNPPLC has received an
appraisal of the same, in form and substance satisfactory to BNPPLC from an
appraiser satisfactory to BNPPLC, which sets forth estimates
of fair market value for the Integral Equipment, both as new and as projected
at the end of the scheduled Term of the Lease, (iii) BNPPLC has reviewed the
appraisal and made a determination of the projected fair market value of such
Integral Equipment as of the end of the scheduled Term of the Lease, and (iv) NAI
has confirmed its approval of such determination by BNPPLC.




    (e) Restrictions Imposed for Administrative Convenience. NAI will not
request any Construction Advance (other than the final Construction Advance NAI
intends to request) for an amount less than $1,000,000.




     (3) No Advances After Certain Dates. BNPPLC will have no obligation to make any
Construction Advance (x) after the last Advance Date, (y) on or after the Designated Sale
Date, or (z) on or after the effective date of any Termination of NAI’s Work pursuant to
subparagraph 7(B) or subparagraph 7(C).



     (D) Breakage Costs for Construction Advances Requested But Not Taken. If NAI requests
but thereafter declines to accept any Construction Advance, or if NAI requests a Construction
Advance that it is not permitted to take because of its failure to satisfy any of the conditions
specified in subparagraph 4(C), BNPPLC will be entitled to add any resulting Breakage Costs to the
Outstanding Construction Allowance and the Lease Balance.



     (E) No Third Party Beneficiaries. No contractor or other third party will be entitled
to require BNPPLC to make advances as a third party beneficiary of this Agreement, and nothing
contained herein or in any of the other Operative Documents will be construed as an agreement
obligating BNPPLC to make advances to anyone other than NAI itself.



     (F) No Waiver. No funding of Construction Advances and no failure of BNPPLC to object
to any Work proposed or performed by or for NAI will constitute a waiver by BNPPLC of the
requirements contained in this Agreement.



5 Application of Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds.




     (A) Collection and Application Generally. This Paragraph 5 will govern the
application of proceeds received by BNPPLC or NAI from any third party prior to the commencement of
the Term of the Lease (1) under any property insurance policy as a result of damage to the Property
(including proceeds payable under any insurance policy covering the


Construction
Management Agreement — Page 30




 









 







Property which is maintained by
NAI), (2) as compensation for any restriction placed upon the use or development of the Property or for the condemnation of the Property or
any portion thereof, or (3) because of any judgment, decree or award for injury or damage to the
Property (e.g., damage resulting from a third party’s release of Hazardous Materials onto the
Property); excluding, however, any funds paid to BNPPLC by BNPPLC’s Parent, by an Affiliate of
BNPPLC or by any Participant that is made to compensate BNPPLC for any Losses BNPPLC may suffer or
incur in connection with this Agreement or the Property. NAI will promptly pay over to BNPPLC any
insurance, condemnation or other proceeds covered by this Paragraph 5 which NAI may receive from
any insurer, condemning authority or other third party. All proceeds covered by this Paragraph 5,
including those received by BNPPLC from NAI or third parties, will be applied as follows:





     (1) First, proceeds covered by this Paragraph 5 will be used to reimburse BNPPLC for
any reasonable costs and expenses, including Attorneys’ Fees, that BNPPLC incurred to
collect the proceeds.




     (2) Second, the proceeds remaining after such reimbursement to BNPPLC (the “Remaining
Proceeds”) will be applied, as hereinafter more particularly provided, either as a Qualified
Prepayment or to pay or reimburse NAI or BNPPLC for the actual out-of-pocket costs of
repairing or restoring the Property. Until any Remaining Proceeds received by BNPPLC are
applied by BNPPLC as a Qualified Prepayment or applied by BNPPLC to reimburse costs of
repairs to or restoration of the Property pursuant to this Paragraph 5, BNPPLC will hold and
maintain such Remaining Proceeds as Escrowed Proceeds in an interest bearing account, and
all interest earned on such account will be added to and made a part of such Escrowed
Proceeds.



     (B) Advances of Escrowed Proceeds to NAI. Except as otherwise provided below in this
Paragraph 5, BNPPLC will hold all such Escrowed Proceeds until they are advanced to reimburse NAI
for the actual out-of-pocket cost to NAI of repairing or restoring the Property in accordance with
the requirements of this Agreement. BNPPLC will so advance the Escrowed Proceeds as the applicable
repair or restoration, progresses and upon compliance by NAI with such conditions and requirements
as may be reasonably imposed by BNPPLC, including conditions and requirements similar to those that
set forth herein for the payment of Construction Advances. In no event, however, will BNPPLC be
required to pay Escrowed Proceeds to NAI in excess of the actual out-of-pocket cost to NAI of the
applicable repair, restoration or replacement, as evidenced by invoices or other documentation
reasonably satisfactory to BNPPLC.



     (C) Status of Escrowed Proceeds After Commencement of the Term of the Lease.
Any Remaining Proceeds governed by this Paragraph 5 which BNPPLC is continuing to hold as Escrowed
Proceeds when the Term of the Lease commences will be applied in accordance with


Construction
Management Agreement — Page 31




 









 







the terms and conditions of the Lease as if received by
BNPPLC immediately after the Term commenced.




     (D) Special Provisions Applicable After a 97-10/Event or Event of Default.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, after any 97-10/Event and when any Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, BNPPLC will be entitled to receive and collect all insurance, condemnation or other
proceeds governed by this Paragraph 5 and to apply all Remaining Proceeds, when and in such order
and to such extent deemed appropriate by BNPPLC in its sole discretion, either (A) to the
reimbursement of NAI or BNPPLC for the out-of-pocket cost of repairing or restoring the Property,
or (B) as Qualified Prepayments.



     (E) NAI’s Obligation to Restore. Regardless of the adequacy of any Remaining Proceeds
available to NAI hereunder, if the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty or any part of the
Property is taken by condemnation, NAI must to the maximum extent possible, as part of the Work,
restore the Property or the remainder thereof and continue construction of the Construction Project
on and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, like
other Work, any such restoration and continuation of construction by NAI will be subject to
subparagraphs 7(A) and 7(D), which establish certain rights of NAI to suspend or discontinue any
Work; and, provided further, any additional costs required to complete the Construction Project
resulting from such a casualty or taking prior to the Completion Date will, to the extent not
covered by Remaining Proceeds paid to NAI as provided herein, be subject to reimbursement by BNPPLC
as Reimbursable Construction Period Costs on the same terms and conditions that apply to
reimbursements of other costs of the Work hereunder.



     (F) Special Provisions Concerning a Complete Taking. NAI may react to any threat of a
Complete Taking from a governmental authority by exercising NAI’s right to accelerate the
Designated Sale Date (as provided in the definition thereof) and by exercising the Purchase Option
under the Purchase Agreement. By so doing, NAI will put itself in a position to control
condemnation proceedings and to receive all proceeds of the Complete Taking. If, however, NAI does
not buy the Property pursuant to the Purchase Agreement prior to any Complete Taking, then BNPPLC
will be entitled to receive and retain all amounts paid for the Property in connection with the
Complete Taking, notwithstanding any contrary provision herein or in the other Operative Documents
and notwithstanding that such proceeds may exceed the Lease Balance.



6 Notice of Cost Overruns and Pre-lease Force Majeure Events.




     (A) Notice of Projected Cost Overruns. If, at the time NAI submits any Construction Advance Request, NAI believes for any reason (including any
damage to the Property by fire or other casualty or any taking of any part of the Property by
condemnation) that Projected Cost


Construction
Management Agreement — Page 32




 









 







Overruns are more likely than not, NAI must state such belief in
the Construction Advance Request and, if NAI can reasonably do so, NAI will estimate the
approximate amount of such Projected Cost Overruns.




     (B) Pre-lease Force Majeure Event Events and Notices. NAI may from time to time
provide a notice to BNPPLC in the form attached as Exhibit D (a “Pre-lease Force Majeure
Event Notice”), describing any Pre-lease Force Majeure Event that has occurred or commenced within
the 30 days prior to such notice and setting forth NAI’s preliminary good faith estimate of any
Pre-lease Force Majeure Delays, Pre-lease Force Majeure Losses and Pre-lease Force Majeure Excess
Costs that are likely to result from such event. BNPPLC will have the option to respond to any
Pre-lease Force Majeure Event Notice with an FOCB Notice or, alternatively and if applicable, with
an Increased Commitment as provided in subparagraph 7(B)(6).



7 Suspension and Termination of NAI’s Work.




     (A) Rights and Obligations During a Work/Suspension Period. During any Work/Suspension
Period, NAI will have the right to suspend the Work; however, the obligations of NAI which are to
survive any Termination of NAI’s Work as provided in subparagraph 7(D) will continue and survive
during any Work/Suspension Period.



     (B) NAI’s Election to Terminate NAI’s Work. NAI may elect to terminate its rights and
obligations to continue Work at any time prior to the Completion Date if at such time NAI believes
in good faith that a Timing or Budget Shortfall exists. As used herein, “Timing or Budget
Shortfall” means that (i) the remaining available Construction Allowance will not be sufficient to
cover Reimbursable Construction Period Costs yet to be paid or reimbursed from Construction
Advances (x) because the cost of the Work exceeds budgeted expectations (resulting in Projected
Cost Overruns) through no fault of NAI or its employees or any other party acting under NAI’s
control or with the approval or authorization of NAI, (y) because of any Pre-lease Force Majeure
Event or (z) because NAI can no longer satisfy conditions to BNPPLC’s obligation to provide further
Construction Advances, or (ii) the Work will not be substantially completed prior to the Target
Completion Date through no fault of NAI or its employees or any other party acting under NAI’s
control or with the approval or authorization of NAI. (For the avoidance of doubt, as used in this
subparagraph 7(B) with respect to any party, the term “fault” will not include insufficient
estimation of time or dollars unless shown to be caused by the negligence or wilful misconduct of
such party.) To be effective, however, any such election by NAI must be made in accordance with
the following:




     (1) Any such election by NAI to terminate its rights and obligations to continue the
Work must be made by notice to BNPPLC and the Participants in the form of Exhibit E
(a “Notice of Termination by NAI”).


Construction
Management Agreement — Page 33




 









 









     (2) At least forty-five days before giving any such Notice of Termination by
NAI, NAI must give a notice of NAI’s intent to terminate to BNPPLC and the Participants in
the form of Exhibit F (a “Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate”), and the Notice of
NAI’s Intent to Terminate must state the reasons why, in NAI’s good faith determination, the
remaining available Construction Allowance will not be sufficient to cover Reimbursable
Construction Period Costs yet to be paid or reimbursed from Construction Advances or the
Work will not be substantially complete prior to the Target Completion Date, as applicable.




     (3) Without limiting the forgoing, prior to giving any Notice of Termination by NAI
predicated upon NAI’s belief that the remaining available Construction Allowance will not be
sufficient only because of Pre-lease Force Majeure Excess Costs incurred or anticipated as a
result of a Pre-lease Force Majeure Event, NAI must — after having notified BNPPLC of the
such event by the delivery of a Notice of Pre-lease Force Majeure Event in accordance with
subparagraph 6(B) — expressly set forth such belief in the Notice of NAI’s Intent to
Terminate as indicated in Exhibit F. In any such Notice of NAI’s Intent to
Terminate, NAI must also specify its good faith estimate of the Pre-lease Force Majeure
Excess Costs likely to be incurred (“NAI’s Estimate of Force Majeure Excess Costs”).




     (4) Similarly, prior to giving any Notice of Termination by NAI predicated upon NAI’s
belief that the Work will not be substantially complete before the Target Completion Date
only because of Pre-lease Force Majeure Delays resulting from a Pre-lease Force Majeure
Event, NAI must — after having notified BNPPLC of such event by the delivery of a Notice of
Pre-lease Force Majeure Event in accordance with subparagraph 6(B) — expressly set forth
such belief in the Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate as indicated in Exhibit F.
In any such Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate, NAI must also specify its good faith
estimate of the Pre-lease Force Majeure Delays likely to occur (“NAI’s Estimate of Force
Majeure Delays”).




     (5) As used herein, a “Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate Because of a Force
Majeure Event” means any Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate that sets forth NAI’s belief,
by the optional provisions contemplated in Exhibit F, that either or both: (a) the
remaining available Construction Allowance will not be sufficient only because of Pre-lease
Force Majeure Excess Costs incurred or anticipated as a result of a Pre-lease Force Majeure
Event, or (b) the Work will not be substantially complete before the Target Completion Date only because of Pre-lease Force Majeure
Delays resulting from a Pre-lease Force Majeure Event. Should any Termination of NAI’s Work
occur before NAI sends a Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate Because of a Force Majeure
Event in accordance with this subparagraph (and in the form attached as Exhibit F),
such Termination of NAI’s Work will, for purposes of determining whether any
97-


Construction
Management Agreement — Page 34





 









 









10/Prepayment may be required pursuant to Paragraph 9, be conclusively presumed to have
occurred for reasons other than a Pre-lease Force Majeure Event.




     (6) After receipt of any Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate and before receipt of a
Notice of Termination by NAI, BNPPLC may, but will not be obligated to, respond to NAI with
certain commitments as follows (such a response being hereinafter called an “Increased
Commitment”):




     (a) In the case of a Notice of Intent to Terminate Because of a Force Majeure
Event which expresses NAI’s belief that the remaining available Construction
Allowance will not be sufficient only because of Pre-lease Force Majeure Excess
Costs, BNPPLC may respond with a written commitment to increase the Construction
Allowance (an “Increased Funding Commitment”) by an amount equal to NAI’s Estimate
of Force Majeure Excess Costs as set forth in such Notice of NAI’s Intent to
Terminate. Any such Increased Funding Commitment may be in the form of Exhibit
G.




     (b) In the case of a Notice of Intent to Terminate Because of a Force Majeure
Event which expresses NAI’s belief that the Work will not be substantially complete
before the Target Completion Date only because of Pre-lease Force Majeure Delays,
BNPPLC may respond with a written commitment to extend the Target Completion Date
(an “Increased Time Commitment”) by the number of days included in NAI’s Estimate of
Force Majeure Delays as set forth in such Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate. Any
such Increased Time Commitment may be in the form of Exhibit H.




     (c) In the case of a Notice of Intent to Terminate Because of a Force Majeure
Event which expresses NAI’s belief that both (i) the remaining available
Construction Allowance will not be sufficient only because of Pre-lease Force
Majeure Excess Costs and (ii) the Work will not be substantially complete before the
Target Completion Date only because of Pre-lease Force Majeure Delays, BNPPLC may
respond with both an Increased Funding Commitment and an Increased Time Commitment
as provided in the preceding subparagraphs (a) and (b).




     (d) In the case of a Notice of Intent to Terminate which is not a Notice of
Intent to Terminate Because of a Force Majeure Event (and thus not covered by any of
the preceding subparagraphs (a) through (c)), BNPPLC may require NAI to promptly
provide a good faith estimate of the minimum Increased Funding Commitment or
Increased Time Commitment (or both) reasonably required to eliminate the reasons for
NAI’s delivery of the Notice of Intent to Terminate.


Construction
Management Agreement — Page 35





 









 









After receipt of NAI’s good
faith estimate, BNPPLC may respond with an Increased Funding Commitment or Increased
Time Commitment (or both) consistent with such estimate.




     (7) If BNPPLC does respond to a Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate with an Increased
Commitment, NAI will be entitled to, and will not unreasonably refuse to, rescind such
Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate within ten days after receipt of such Increased
Commitment. To be effective, any such rescission must be by notice to BNPPLC in the form of
Exhibit I. In any event, except as provided in the next subparagraph, the failure
of NAI to so rescind any Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate within ten days after receipt
of the Increased Commitment will, for purposes of determining whether any 97-10/Prepayment
may be required pursuant to Paragraph 9, create a conclusive presumption that any
Termination of NAI’s Work after the date of such response was made for reasons other than a
Pre-lease Force Majeure Event.




     (8) For the avoidance of doubt, BNPPLC acknowledges that NAI’s rescission of any Notice
of NAI’s Intent to Terminate (including any Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate Because of a
Force Majeure Event) after receipt of an Increased Commitment as described in the preceding
subsection will not preclude NAI from subsequently exercising its rights under this
subparagraph 7(B) in the event NAI subsequently believes in good faith that a Timing or
Budget Shortfall exists.




Thus, for example, if NAI rescinds a Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate Because of a Force
Majeure Event after receiving an Increased Commitment from BNPPLC, but subsequently
determines that such Increased Commitment is insufficient (through no fault of NAI or its
employees or any other party acting under NAI’s control or with the approval or
authorization of NAI) to rectify the Timing or Budget Shortfall which caused NAI to send
such notice, then NAI may deliver a second Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate Because of a
Force Majeure Event, and in response thereto BNPPLC may elect to provide yet another
Increased Commitment. Moreover, such process may be repeated any number of times, in each
case without causing NAI to lose its right to subsequently invoke this subparagraph 7(B) and
send yet another Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate (including another Notice of NAI’s
Intent to Terminate Because of a Force Majeure Event).




     (9) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Complete Taking, NAI may deliver a
Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate Because of a Force Majeure Event that explains the
futility of continuing with the Construction Project on the Land regardless of any
willingness of BNPPLC to approve or consider Scope Changes or an Increased Commitment, and
no offer by BNPPLC of an Increased Commitment after a Complete Taking will preclude a
“Termination of NAI’s Work because of a Pre-lease Force Majeure


Construction
Management Agreement — Page 36





 









 









     Event” for the purposes of
determining whether NAI must pay a 97-10/Prepayment pursuant to Paragraph 9.



     (C) BNPPLC’s Election to Terminate NAI’s Work. By notice to NAI BNPPLC may elect to
terminate NAI’s rights and obligations to continue the Work at any time (i) more than thirty days
after BNPPLC has given an FOCB Notice to NAI, or (ii) after BNPPLC’s receipt of a Notice of NAI’s
Intent to Terminate and before an election by NAI to rescind the same as described in subparagraph
7(B)(7).



     (D) Surviving Rights and Obligations. Following any Termination of NAI’s Work as
provided in subparagraph 7(B) or in 7(C), NAI will have no obligation to continue or complete any
Work; however, no such Termination of NAI’s Work will reduce or excuse the following rights and
obligations of the parties, it being intended that all such rights and obligations will survive and
continue after any Termination of NAI’s Work:




     (1) NAI’s obligations described in the next subparagraph 7(E);




     (2) the rights and obligations of NAI and BNPPLC under the Ground Lease;




     (3) the rights and obligations of NAI and BNPPLC under the Purchase Agreement, other
than NAI’s Supplemental Payment Obligation if it has been terminated as provided in
subparagraph 6(B) of the Purchase Agreement;




     (4) any obligations of NAI under the other Operative Documents by reason of any
misrepresentation or other act or omission of NAI that occurred prior to the Termination of
NAI’s Work or during any other period that NAI remains in possession or control of the
Construction Project; and




     (5) NAI’s obligations to indemnify BNPPLC as set forth in subparagraph 10(A).



     (E) Cooperation After a Termination of NAI’s Work.
After any Termination of NAI’s Work as provided in subparagraph 7(B) or subparagraph 7(C), NAI
must comply with the following terms and conditions, all of which will survive notwithstanding any
such termination:




     (1) NAI must promptly deliver copies to BNPPLC of all Third Party Contracts and
purchase orders made by NAI in the performance of or in connection with the Work, together
with all plans, drawings, specifications, bonds and other materials relating to the Work in
NAI’s possession, including all papers and documents relating to governmental permits,
orders placed, bills and invoices, lien releases and financial management under this
Agreement. All such deliveries must be made free and clear of any liens, security

Management Agreement — Page 37





 









 









interests,
or encumbrances, except such as may be created by the Operative Documents.




     (2) Promptly after any request from BNPPLC made with respect to any Third Party
Contract, NAI must deliver a letter confirming: (i) whether NAI has performed any act or
executed any other instrument which invalidates or modifies such contract in whole or in
part (and, if so, the nature thereof); (ii) the extent to which such contract is valid and
subsisting and in full force and effect; (iii) that, to NAI’s knowledge, there are no
defaults or events of default then existing under such contract and, to NAI’s knowledge, no
event has occurred which with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would
constitute such a default or event of default (or, if there is a default or potential
default, the nature of such default in detail); (iv) whether the services and construction
contemplated by such contract is proceeding in a satisfactory manner in all material
respects (and if not, a detailed description of all significant problems with the progress
of the services or construction); (v) in reasonable detail the then critical dates projected
by NAI for work and deliveries required by such contract; (vi) the total amount received by
the other party to such contract for work or services provided by the other party through
the date of the letter; (vii) NAI’s good faith estimate of the total cost of completing the
services and work contemplated under such contract as of the date of the letter, together
with any current draw or payment schedule for the contract; and (viii) any other information
BNPPLC may reasonably request to allow it to decide what steps it should take concerning the
contract within BNPPLC’s rights under this Agreement and the other Operative Documents.




     (3) As and to the extent requested by BNPPLC, NAI will make every reasonable effort
(but without any obligation to incur any expense or liability to do so, unless BNPPLC agrees
to reimburse the same with reasonable promptness) to secure any required consents or
approvals for an assignment of any then existing Third Party Contract to BNPPLC or its
designee, upon terms satisfactory to BNPPLC. To the extent assignable, any then existing
Third Party Contract will be assigned by NAI to BNPPLC upon request, without charge by NAI.




     (4) If NAI has canceled any Third Party Contract before and in anticipation of a
Termination of NAI’s Work, then as and to the extent requested by BNPPLC, NAI must make
every reasonable effort (but without any obligation to incur any expense or liability to do
so, unless BNPPLC agrees to reimburse the same with reasonable promptness) to secure a
reinstatement of such Third Party Contract in favor of BNPPLC and upon terms satisfactory to
BNPPLC.




     (5) For a period not to exceed thirty days after the Termination of NAI’s Work,
NAI must take such steps as are reasonably necessary to preserve and protect Work completed
and in progress and to protect materials, equipment, and supplies at the


Construction
Management Agreement — Page 38





 









 









Property or in
transit. Without regard to the conditions applicable to other payments required of BNPPLC
by this Agreement, BNPPLC must with reasonable promptness reimburse any reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by NAI to comply with this subparagraph (5); however, BNPPLC
may at any time or from time to time by notice to NAI limit or terminate such reimbursements
as to expenses incurred after NAI’s receipt of such notice, and thereafter NAI will be
excused from any obligation to incur expenses that BNPPLC may decline to reimburse.



8 Continuation of Construction by BNPPLC.




     (A) Owner’s Election to Continue Construction. Without limiting BNPPLC’s other rights
and remedies under this Agreement or the other Operative Documents, and without terminating NAI’s
surviving obligations under this Agreement or NAI’s obligations under the other Operative
Documents, after any Termination of NAI’s Work as provided in subparagraph 7(B) or subparagraph
7(C), BNPPLC will be entitled (but not obligated) to take whatever action it deems necessary or
appropriate by the use of legal proceedings or otherwise to continue or complete the Construction
Project in a manner not substantially inconsistent (to the extent practicable under Applicable
Laws) with the general description of the Construction Project set forth in Exhibit B. (As
used herein, “Owner’s Election to Continue Construction” means any election by BNPPLC to continue
or complete the Construction Project pursuant to the preceding sentence.) After any Owner’s
Election to Continue Construction, BNPPLC may do any one or more of the following pursuant to this
subparagraph without further notice and regardless of whether any breach of this Agreement by NAI
is then continuing:




     (1) Take Control of the Property. BNPPLC may cause NAI and any contractors or
other parties on the Property to vacate the Property until the Construction Project is
complete or BNPPLC elects not to continue work on the Construction Project.




     (2) Continuation of Construction. BNPPLC may perform or cause to be performed
any work to complete or continue the construction of the Construction Project. In this
regard, so long as work ordered or undertaken by BNPPLC is not substantially inconsistent
(to the extent practicable under Applicable Laws) with the general description of the
Construction Project set forth in Exhibit B and the permitted use of the Property
set forth in the Lease, BNPPLC will have complete discretion to:




     (a) proceed with construction according to such plans and specifications as
BNPPLC may from time to time approve;




     (b) establish and extend construction deadlines as BNPPLC from time to time
deems appropriate, without obligation to adhere to any deadlines for construction by
NAI set forth in this Agreement;


Construction
Management Agreement — Page 39





 









 









     (c) hire, fire and replace architects, engineers, contractors,
construction managers and other consultants as BNPPLC from time to time deems
appropriate, without obligation to use, consider or compensate architects,
engineers, contractors, construction managers or other consultants previously
selected or engaged by NAI;




     (d) determine the compensation that any architect, engineer, contractor,
construction manager or other consultant engaged by BNPPLC will be paid, and the
terms and conditions that will govern the payment of such compensation (including
whether payment will be due in advance, over the course of construction or on some
other basis and including whether contracts will be let on a fixed price basis, a
cost plus a fee basis or some other basis), as BNPPLC from time to time reasonably
deems appropriate;




     (e) pay, settle or compromise existing or future bills and claims which are or
may be liens against the Property or as BNPPLC reasonably considers necessary or
desirable for the completion of the Construction Project or the removal of any
clouds on title to the Property;




     (f) prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the
construction of the Construction Project;




     (g) select and change interior and exterior finishes for the Improvements and
landscaping as BNPPLC from time to time deems appropriate; and




     (h) generally do anything that NAI itself might have done if NAI had satisfied
or obtained BNPPLC’s waiver of the conditions specified therein.




     (3) Arrange for Turnkey Construction. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, BNPPLC may engage any contractor or real estate developer BNPPLC believes to be
reputable to take over and complete construction of the Construction Project on a “turnkey”
basis.




     (4) Suspension or Termination of Construction by BNPPLC. Notwithstanding any
Owner’s Election to Continue Construction, BNPPLC may subsequently elect at any time to
suspend or terminate further construction without obligation to NAI.


For purposes of the Operative Documents (including the determination of the Outstanding
Construction Allowance, the Lease Balance and the Break Even Price), after any Owner’s Election to
Continue Construction, all costs and expenditures incurred or paid by or on behalf of



Construction
Management Agreement — Page 40





 









 







BNPPLC to
complete or continue construction as provided in this subparagraph 8(A) will be considered
Construction Advances, regardless of whether they cause the Funded Construction Allowance to exceed
the Maximum Construction Allowance. Further, as used in the preceding sentence, “costs incurred” by
BNPPLC will include costs that BNPPLC has become obligated to pay to any third party that is not an
Affiliate of BNPPLC (including any construction contractor), even if the payments for which BNPPLC
has become so obligated constitute prepayments for work or services to be rendered after payment
and notwithstanding that BNPPLC’s obligations for the payments may be conditioned upon matters
beyond BNPPLC’s control. For example, even if a construction contract between BNPPLC and a
contractor excuses BNPPLC from making further progress payments to the contractor upon NAI’s
failure to make any required 97-10/Prepayment under the Purchase Agreement, the obligation to make
a progress payment would nonetheless be “incurred” by BNPPLC, for purposes of determining whether
BNPPLC has incurred costs considered to be 97-10/Project Costs and Construction Advances, when
BNPPLC’s obligation to pay it became subject only to NAI’s payment of a 97-10/Prepayment or other
conditions beyond BNPPLC’s control.




     (B) Powers Coupled With an Interest. BNPPLC’s rights under subparagraph 8(A) are
intended to constitute powers coupled with an interest which cannot be revoked.


9 NAI’s Obligation for 97-10/Prepayments. After any 97-10/Event NAI must make a
97-10/Prepayment to BNPPLC within three Business Days after receipt from BNPPLC of any demand for
such a payment. BNPPLC may demand
97-10/Prepayments pursuant to this Paragraph at any time and from time to time (as 97-10/Project
Costs increase) after a 97-10/Event. NAI acknowledges that it is undertaking the obligation to
make 97-10/Prepayments as provided in this Paragraph in consideration of the rights afforded to it
by this Agreement, but that such obligation is not contingent upon any exercise by NAI of such
rights or upon its rights under any other Operative Documents. If a 97-10/Event does occur, NAI’s
obligation to make 97-10/Prepayments as provided in this Paragraph will survive any Termination of
NAI’s Work.



Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 9, if (as provided in subparagraph 7(B))
NAI effectively makes the election for a Termination of NAI’s Work because of a Pre-lease Force
Majeure Event that resulted in Pre-lease Force Majeure Excess Repair Costs or Pre-lease Force
Majeure Delays, then NAI will be excused from the obligation to make 97-10/Prepayments until such
time (if ever) that BNPPLC itself completes the Construction Project or causes it to be completed
as BNPPLC is authorized to do by subparagraph 8(A).




10 Indemnity for Covered Construction Period Losses.





     (A) Covenant to Indemnify Against Covered Construction Period Losses. Subject
to the qualifications in subparagraph 10(B), as directed by BNPPLC, NAI must indemnify and


Construction
Management Agreement — Page 41





 









 







defend
BNPPLC from and against all of the following Losses (“Covered Construction Period Losses”):





     (1) Losses suffered or incurred by BNPPLC, directly or indirectly, relating to or
arising out of, based on or as a result of any of the following which occurs or is alleged
to have occurred prior to any Termination of NAI’s Work: (i) any Hazardous Substance
Activity; (ii) any violation of any applicable Environmental Laws relating to the Land or
the Property or to the ownership, use, occupancy or operation thereof; (iii) any
investigation, inquiry, order, hearing, action, or other proceeding by or before any
governmental or quasi-governmental agency or authority in connection with any Hazardous
Substance Activity; or (iv) any claim, demand, cause of action or investigation, or any
action or other proceeding, whether meritorious or not, brought or asserted against BNPPLC
which directly or indirectly relates to, arises from, is based on, or results from any of
the matters described in clauses (i), (ii), or (iii) of this provision or any allegation of
any such matters;




     (2) Losses incurred or suffered by BNPPLC that BNPPLC would not have incurred or
suffered but for any act or any omission of NAI or of any NAI’s contractors or
subcontractors during the period prior to any Termination of NAI’s Work as provided in
subparagraphs 7(B) and 7(C) or during any other period that NAI remains in possession or
control of the Construction Project (including any failure by NAI to obtain or maintain
insurance as required by this Agreement during such periods; but excluding, however, as described below,
certain Losses consisting of claims related
to any failure of NAI to complete the Construction Project);




     (3) Losses incurred or suffered by BNPPLC that would not have been incurred but for any
fraud, misapplication of funds (including Construction Advances), illegal acts, or willful
misconduct on the part of the NAI or its employees or of any other party acting under NAI’s
control or with the approval or authorization of NAI; and




     (4) Losses incurred or suffered by BNPPLC that would not have been incurred but for any
bankruptcy proceeding involving NAI.


NAI’s obligations under this indemnity will apply whether or not BNPPLC is also indemnified
as to the applicable Covered Construction Period Loss by any third party (including another
Interested Party) and whether or not the Covered Construction Period Loss arises or accrues prior
to the Effective Date. Further, in the event, for income tax purposes, BNPPLC must include in its
taxable income any payment or reimbursement from NAI which is required by this indemnity (in this
provision, the “Original Indemnity Payment”), and yet BNPPLC is not entitled during the same
taxable year to a corresponding and equal deduction from its taxable income for the Covered
Construction Period Loss paid or reimbursed by such Original Indemnity Payment (in



Construction
Management Agreement — Page 42






 









 







this provision,
the “Corresponding Loss”), then NAI must also pay to BNPPLC on demand the additional amount (in
this provision, the “Additional Indemnity Payment”) needed to gross up the Original Indemnity
Payment for any and all resulting additional income taxes. That is, NAI must pay an Additional
Indemnity Payment as is needed so that the Corresponding Loss (computed net of the reduction, if
any, of BNPPLC’s income taxes because of credits or deductions that are attributable to the
BNPPLC’s payment or deemed payment of the Corresponding Loss and that are recognized for tax
purposes in the same taxable year during which BNPPLC must recognize the Original Indemnity Payment
as income) will not exceed the difference computed by subtracting (i) all income taxes (determined
for this purpose based on the highest marginal income tax rates applicable to corporations for the
relevant period or periods and the highest applicable state or local marginal rates of such taxing
authority applicable to corporations for the relevant period or periods) imposed upon BNPPLC with
respect to the Original Indemnity Payment and the Additional Indemnity Payment, from (ii) the sum
of the Original Indemnity Payment and the Additional Indemnity Payment. (With regard to any
payment or reimbursement of an Original Indemnity Payment, “After Tax Basis” means that such
payment or reimbursement is or will be made together with the additional amount needed to gross up
such Original Indemnity Payment as described in this provision.)





(B) Certain Losses Included or Excluded.




     (1) Environmental. As used in clause (1) of the preceding subparagraph 10(A), “Losses”
will not include costs properly incurred in connection with the Work to prevent the
occurrence of a violation of Environmental Laws that did not previously exist. (For example,
Environmental Losses will not include the increase in costs resulting from NAI’s
installation of fire proofing materials other than asbestos because of Environmental Laws
that prohibit the use of asbestos.) However, any costs to correct or answer for any
violation of Environmental Laws that occurred on or prior to the Effective Date or that NAI
causes or permits to occur after the Effective Date in connection with the Work or the
Property will constitute Environmental Losses. (Thus, for instance, if NAI releases
Hazardous Materials from the Property in a manner that contaminates ground water in
violation of Environmental Laws, the costs of correcting the contamination and any
applicable fines or penalties will constitute Environmental Losses for which NAI must
indemnify and defend BNPPLC pursuant to subparagraph 10(A).)




     (2) Failure to Maintain a Safe Work Site. If a third party asserts a claim for
damages against BNPPLC because of injuries the third party sustained while on the Land as a
result of NAI’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement to keep the Land and the
Improvements thereon in a reasonably safe condition as Work progresses under NAI’s direction
and control, then any such claim and other Losses resulting from such claim will constitute
Covered Construction Period Losses under clause (b) of the definition of


Construction
Management Agreement — Page 43





 









 









Covered Construction Period Losses in subparagraph 10(A).




     (3) Failure to Complete Construction. Additional costs of construction may result from
NAI’s failure to complete the Construction Project if a Termination of NAI’s Work occurs
pursuant to subparagraphs 7(B) and 7(C). Nevertheless, it is understood that a failure of
NAI to complete the Construction Project following any such Termination of NAI’s Work will
not necessarily constitute a breach of this Agreement, and clause (b) of subparagraph 10(A)
will not include any such additional costs of performing the Work or the cost to BNPPLC of
completing the Construction Project after the Termination of NAI’s Work. (Such costs may,
however, qualify as 97-10/Project Costs and thus increase the 97-10/Maximum Permitted
Prepayment.)




     (4) Fraud. As used in clause (3) of subparagraph 10(A), “fraud” or “willful
misconduct” will include (i) any deliberate decision by NAI to make a Scope Change without
BNPPLC’s prior written approval, (ii) any fraud or intentional misrepresentation by NAI, or
its vendors, contractors or subcontractors regarding NAI’s ongoing compliance with the
requirements of this Agreement, and (iii) the performance by NAI or its vendors, contractors
or subcontractors of Defective Work, with NAI’s knowledge that it constitutes Defective
Work, prior to any Termination of NAI’s Work as provided in subparagraphs 7(B) and 7(C).




     (5) Excluded Taxes and Established Misconduct. Nothing in this subparagraph 10 or
other provisions of this Agreement will be construed to require NAI to reimburse or pay
Excluded Taxes or Losses incurred or suffered by BNPPLC that are proximately caused by (and
attributed by any applicable principles of comparative fault to) the Established Misconduct
of BNPPLC.



     (C) Express Negligence Protection. Every release provided in this Agreement for
BNPPLC or any other Interested Party, and the indemnity provided for the benefit of BNPPLC in the
preceding subparagraph 10(A), will apply even if and when the subject matters thereof are alleged
to be caused by or to arise out of the negligence or strict liability of BNPPLC or another
Interested Party. Further, all such releases and the indemnity will apply even if insurance
obtained by NAI or required of NAI by this Agreement is not adequate to cover Losses against or for
which the releases and the indemnity are provided (although NAI’s liability for any failure to
obtain insurance required by this Agreement will not be limited to Losses against which indemnity
is provided, it being understood that the parties have agreed upon insurance requirements for
reasons that extend beyond providing a source of payment for Losses against which BNPPLC may be
indemnified by NAI).



     (D) Survival of Indemnity. NAI’s obligations under this subparagraph 10 will
survive


Construction
Management Agreement — Page 44






 









 







the termination or expiration of this Agreement and any Termination of NAI’s Work with
respect to Losses suffered by BNPPLC resulting or arising from events or circumstances which
existed or occurred or are alleged to have existed or occurred prior to the Termination of NAI’s
Work or during any other period that NAI remains in possession or control of the Construction
Project, whether such Losses are asserted, suffered or paid before or after the Termination of
NAI’s Work.




     (E) Due Date for Indemnity Payments. Any amount to be paid by NAI under this
subparagraph 10 will be due fifteen days after a notice requesting such payment is received by NAI.
Any such amount not paid by NAI when first due will bear interest at the Default Rate in effect
from time to time from the date it first became due until paid; provided, that nothing herein
contained will be construed as permitting the charging or collection of interest at a rate
exceeding the maximum rate permitted under Applicable Laws.



     (F) Order of Application of Payments. BNPPLC will be entitled to apply any payments
by or on behalf of NAI against NAI’s obligations under this subparagraph or against other amounts
owing by NAI and then past due under any of the other Operative Documents in the order the same
became due or in such other order as BNPPLC may elect.



     (G) Defense of BNPPLC.




     (1) Assumption of Defense. By notice to NAI BNPPLC may direct NAI to assume on behalf
of BNPPLC and to conduct with due diligence and in good faith the defense of and the
response to any claim, proceeding or investigation included in or concerning any Covered
Construction Period Loss. NAI must promptly comply with any such direction using counsel
selected by NAI and reasonably satisfactory to BNPPLC to represent BNPPLC. In the event NAI
fails to promptly comply with any such direction from BNPPLC, BNPPLC may contest or settle
the claim, proceeding or investigation using counsel of its own selection at NAI’s expense,
subject only to subparagraph 10(K) if that subparagraph is applicable.




     (2) Indemnity Not Contingent. Also, although subparagraphs 10(K) and 10(L) will apply
to tort claims asserted against BNPPLC related to the Property, the right of BNPPLC to be
indemnified pursuant to subparagraph 10(A) for payments made to satisfy governmental
requirements (“Government Mandated Payments”) (e.g., fines payable because of any release of
Hazardous Materials from the Property) will not be conditioned in any way upon NAI having
consented to or approved of, or having been provided with an opportunity to defend against
or contest, such Government Mandated Payments. In all cases, however, including those which
may involve Government Mandated Payments, the rights of BNPPLC to be indemnified will be
subject to subparagraph 10(M).



     (H) When Payments Are Due. Any amount to be paid by NAI under


Construction
Management Agreement — Page 45






 









 







subparagraph
10(A) will be due ten days after a notice requesting such payment is given to NAI, subject to any
applicable contest rights expressly granted to NAI by other provisions of this Agreement.




     (I) Survival. NAI’s obligations under subparagraph 10(A) will survive the termination
or expiration of this Agreement and any Termination of NAI’s Work Lease .



     (J) Notice of Claims. If BNPPLC receives a written notice of a claim for taxes or a
claim alleging a tort or other unlawful conduct that BNPPLC believes is covered by the indemnity in
subparagraph 10(A), then BNPPLC will be expected to promptly furnish a copy of such notice to NAI.
The failure to so provide a copy of the notice will not excuse NAI from its obligations under
subparagraph 10(A); except that if such failure continues for more than fifteen days after the
notice is received by BNPPLC and NAI is unaware of the matters described in the notice, with the
result that NAI is unable to assert defenses or to take other actions which could minimize its obligations,
then NAI will be excused from its
obligation to indemnify BNPPLC against the Covered Construction Period Losses, if any, which would
not have been incurred or suffered but for such failure. For example, if BNPPLC fails to provide
NAI with a copy of a notice of an overdue tax obligation covered by the indemnity set out in
subparagraph 10(A) and NAI is not otherwise already aware of such obligation, and if as a result of
such failure BNPPLC becomes liable for penalties and interest covered by the indemnity in excess of
the penalties and interest that would have accrued if NAI had been promptly provided with a copy of
the notice, then NAI will be excused from any obligation to BNPPLC (or any Affiliate of BNPPLC) to
pay the excess.



     (K) Withholding of Consent to Settlements Proposed by NAI. With regard to any tort
claim against BNPPLC for which NAI undertakes to defend BNPPLC as provided in subparagraph
10(G)(1), if BNPPLC unreasonably refuses to consent to a settlement of the claim which is proposed
by NAI and which will meet the conditions listed in the next sentence, NAI’s liability for the
cost of continuing the defense and for any other amounts payable in respect of the claim will be
limited to the total cost for which the settlement proposed by NAI would have been accomplished but
for the unreasonable refusal to consent. Any such settlement proposed by NAI must meet the
following conditions: (A) at the time of the settlement by NAI, NAI must pay all amounts required
to release BNPPLC and other affected Interested Parties (if any) and their property interests from
any further obligation for or liens securing the applicable claim and from any interest, penalties
and other related liabilities, and (B) the settlement or compromise must not involve an admission
of fraud or criminal wrongdoing or result in some other material adverse consequence to BNPPLC or
any other Interested Party.



     (L) Settlements Without the Prior Consent of NAI.




     (1) Election to Pay Reasonable Settlement Costs in Lieu of Actual. Except as


Construction
Management Agreement — Page 46





 









 







otherwise provided in subparagraph 10(L)(2), if BNPPLC settles any tort claim for which it is
entitled to be indemnified by NAI without NAI’s consent, then NAI may, by notice given to
BNPPLC no later than ten days after NAI is notified of the settlement, elect to pay
Reasonable Settlement Costs to BNPPLC in lieu of a payment or reimbursement of actual
settlement costs. (With respect to any tort claim asserted against BNPPLC, “Reasonable
Settlement Costs” means the maximum amount that a prudent Person in the position of BNPPLC,
but able to pay any amount, might reasonably agree to pay to settle the tort claim, taking
into account the nature and amount of the claim, the relevant facts and circumstances known
to BNPPLC at the time of settlement and the additional Attorneys Fees’ and other costs of
defending the claim which could be anticipated but for the settlement.) After making an
election to pay Reasonable Settlement Costs with regard to a particular tort claim, NAI
will have no right to rescind or revoke the election, despite any subsequent determination
that Reasonable Settlement Costs
exceed actual settlement costs. It is understood that Reasonable Settlement Costs may be
more or less than actual settlement costs and that a final determination of Reasonable
Settlement Costs may not be possible until after NAI must decide between paying Reasonable
Settlement Costs or paying actual settlement costs.




     (2) Conditions to Election. Notwithstanding the foregoing, NAI will have no right to elect
to pay Reasonable Settlement Costs in lieu of actual settlement costs if BNPPLC settles
claims without NAI’s consent at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing or after a failure by NAI to conduct with due diligence and in good faith the
defense of and the response to any claim, proceeding or investigation as provided in
subparagraph 10(G)(1).




     (3) Indemnity Survives Settlement. Except as provided in this subparagraph 10(L), no
settlement by BNPPLC of any claim made against it will excuse NAI from any obligation to
indemnify BNPPLC against the settlement costs or other Covered Construction Period Losses
suffered by reason of, in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to such
claim.



     (M) No Authority to Admit Wrongdoing on the Part of NAI. BNPPLC will not under any
circumstances have any authority to bind NAI to an admission of wrongdoing or responsibility to any
third party claimant with regard to matters for which BNPPLC claims a right to indemnification from
NAI under this Agreement.


Further, nothing herein contained, including the foregoing provisions concerning settlements by
BNPPLC of indemnified Losses, will be construed as authorizing BNPPLC to bind NAI to do or refrain
from doing anything to satisfy a third party claimant. If, for example, a claim is made by a
Governmental Authority that NAI must refrain from some particular conduct on or about the Land in
order to comply with Applicable Laws, BNPPLC cannot bind NAI (and will not purport




Construction Management Agreement — Page 47




 









 




to bind NAI) to any agreement to refrain from such conduct or otherwise prevent NAI from continuing to contest the
claim by reason of any provision set forth herein.



Moreover, so long as this Agreement or the Lease continues, BNPPLC’s right to settle any claim
involving the Property will not include the right to bind NAI to any agreement (including any
consent decree proposed by any Governmental Authority) which purports to prohibit, limit or impose
conditions upon any use of the Property by NAI without the prior written consent of NAI. In the
case of any proposed settlement of a claim asserted by a Governmental Authority against BNPPLC, NAI
will not unreasonably withhold such consent. However, for purposes of determining whether it is
reasonable for NAI to withhold such consent, any diligent ongoing undertaking by NAI to contest
such the claim on behalf of BNPPLC will be relevant.



Subject to the foregoing provisions in this subparagraph 10(M), BNPPLC may agree for itself (and
only for itself) to act or refrain from doing anything as demanded or requested by a third party
claimant; provided, however, in no event will such an agreement impede NAI from continuing to
exercise its rights to operate its business on the Property or elsewhere in any lawful manner deemed appropriate by NAI, nor will any such agreement limit or
impede NAI’s right to contest claims raised by any third party claimants (including Governmental
Authorities) that NAI is not complying or has not complied with Applicable Laws.




     (N) Refunds of Covered Construction Period Losses Paid by NAI.




     (1) Payment by BNPPLC After Refund. If BNPPLC receives a refund of any Covered Construction
Period Losses paid, reimbursed or advanced by NAI pursuant to subparagraph 10(A), BNPPLC
will promptly pay to NAI the amount of such refund, plus or minus any net tax benefits or
detriments realized by BNPPLC as a result of such refund and such payment to NAI; provided,
that the amount payable to NAI will not exceed the amount of the indemnity payment in
respect of such refunded Covered Construction Period Losses that was made by NAI. If it is
subsequently determined that BNPPLC was not entitled to such refund, the portion of such
refund that is repaid or recaptured will be treated as a Covered Construction Period Loss
for which NAI must indemnify BNPPLC pursuant to subparagraph 10(A) without regard to
subparagraph 10(B)(5). If, in connection any such refund, BNPPLC also receives an amount
representing interest on such refund, BNPPLC will promptly pay to NAI the amount of such
interest, plus or minus any net tax benefits or detriments realized by BNPPLC as a result
of the receipt or accrual of such interest and as a result of the such payment to NAI;
provided, that BNPPLC will not be required to make any such payment in respect of the
interest (if any) that is fairly attributable to a period before NAI paid, reimbursed or
advanced the Covered Construction Period Losses refunded to BNPPLC.




     (2) Meaning of Refund. With respect to Covered Construction Period Losses



Construction Management Agreement — Page 48




 









 






incurred or suffered by BNPPLC and paid or reimbursed by NAI on an After Tax Basis, if taxes of BNPPLC
which are not subject to indemnification by NAI are reduced because of such Losses (whether
by reason of a deduction, credit or otherwise) and such reduction was not taken into
account in the calculation of the required reimbursement or payment by NAI, then for
purposes of this subparagraph 10(N) such reduction will be considered a “refund”.




     (3) Conditions to Payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will BNPPLC be
required to make any payment to NAI pursuant to this subparagraph 10(N) after any
97-10/Event or when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Attention: Lloyd G. Cox, Managing Director




     Re: Construction Management Agreement dated as of December 15, 2005 (the “Construction
Management Agreement”), between Network Appliance, Inc. (“NAI”), a Delaware corporation, and BNP
Paribas Leasing Corporation (“BNPPLC”)


Gentlemen:




     Capitalized terms used in this letter are intended to have the meanings assigned to them in
the Construction Management Agreement or in the Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement
referenced in the Construction Management Agreement. This letter constitutes a Construction Advance
Request, requesting a Construction Advance of:



$                                                            ,




on the Advance Date that will occur on:




                                        , 20                    .




     To induce BNPPLC to make such Construction Advance, NAI represents and warrants as follows:



I. Calculation of limit imposed by Subparagraph 4(C)(2)(b) of the Construction Management
Agreement:




	 	 	 
	(1) NAI has paid or incurred bona fide Reimbursable Construction Period
Costs other than for Work (e.g., property taxes) of no less than

	(2) NAI has paid or incurred bona fide Reimbursable Construction Period
Costs for Prior Work of no less than

	 	$                                        
	 
	 	 
	(3) NAI has received prior Construction Advances of no more than

	 	$                                        






	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	LIMIT (1 + 2 – 3)
	 	$                                        






 









 





II. Projected Cost Overruns:



NAI [check one: . . . . .... .. . . . .not ] believe that Projected Construction Overruns are more likely
than not. [If NAI does believe that Projected Cost Overruns are more likely than not, and if NAI
believes that the amount of such Projected Construction Overruns can be reasonably estimated, NAI
estimates the same at $                                        .]




III. Construction Advances Covering Pre-lease Force Majeure Losses:



Neither the Construction Advance requested this letter nor prior Construction Advances (if any)
have been used or will be used to cover any costs of repairs that constitute Pre-lease Force
Majeure Losses, except as follows: (if there are no exceptions,
insert “No Exceptions”)

     A. The Construction Project is progressing without significant interruption in a good
and workmanlike manner and substantially in accordance with Applicable Laws, with Permitted
Encumbrances and with the requirements of the Construction Management Agreement, except as follows:
(if there are no exceptions, insert “No Exceptions”)



	 	 	 
	 

	 	 
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	 
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	 
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	 





     B. If NAI has received notice of any Defective Work, NAI has promptly corrected or is
diligently pursuing the correction of such Defective Work, except as follows: (if there are no
exceptions, insert “No Exceptions”)

Attention: Lloyd G. Cox, Managing Director




     Re: Construction Management Agreement dated as of December 15, 2005 (the “Construction
Management Agreement”), between Network Appliance, Inc. (“NAI”), a Delaware corporation, and BNP
Paribas Leasing Corporation (“BNPPLC”), a Delaware corporation


Gentlemen:




     Capitalized terms used in this letter are intended to have the meanings assigned to them in
the Construction Management Agreement referenced above or in the Common Definitions and Provisions
Agreement referenced in the Construction Management Agreement.



     IMPORTANT: It is imperative that BNPPLC promptly review with legal counsel the ramifications
of this notice under the Construction Management Agreement and other Operative Documents.



     This letter constitutes a Pre-lease Force Majeure Event Notice, given as provided in
subparagraph 6(B) of the Construction Management Agreement to preserve the right of NAI to assert
the occurrence of a Pre-lease Force Majeure Event.



     NAI certifies to BNPPLC that the following Pre-lease Force Majeure Event occurred on
                                        , 20                    :



[INSERT DESCRIPTION OF EVENT HERE]




     NAI’s preliminary good faith estimate of the Pre-lease Force Majeure Delays, of the Pre-lease
Force Majeure Losses and of the Pre-lease Force Majeure Excess Costs likely to result from such
event are                                          days, $                                         and $                                        , respectively. Such amounts,
however, are only estimates.



     NAI acknowledges that after NAI gives this notice, BNPPLC may at any time deliver an FOCB
Notice to NAI as described in the Construction Management Agreement.

Notice of Termination of NAI’s Work

     Re: Construction Management Agreement dated as of December 15, 2005 (the “Construction
Management Agreement”), between Network Appliance, Inc. (“NAI”), a Delaware corporation, and BNP
Paribas Leasing Corporation (“BNPPLC”), a Delaware corporation


Gentlemen:




     Capitalized terms used in this letter are intended to have the meanings assigned to them in
the Construction Management Agreement referenced above or in the Common Definitions and Provisions
Agreement referenced in the Construction Management Agreement.



     IMPORTANT: It is imperative that BNPPLC promptly review with legal counsel the ramifications
of this notice under the Construction Management Agreement and other Operative Documents.



     NAI has determined that the Construction Allowance to be provided to it under the Construction
Management Agreement will not be sufficient to cover all Reimbursable Construction Period Costs yet
to be paid or reimbursed from Construction Advances for the reason or reasons set forth in the
Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate dated                                         , 200                    , previously delivered to you as provided
in subparagraph 7(B) of the Construction Management Agreement. That Notice of NAI’s Intent to
Terminate has not been rescinded by NAI.



     NAI hereby irrevocably and unconditionally elects to terminate its rights and obligations to
continue the Work under Construction Management Agreement effective as of the date of this letter
(which, as required by subparagraph 7(B) of the Construction Management Agreement, is a date not
less than forty-five days after the date the aforementioned Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate).
This notice constitutes a “Notice of Termination by NAI” as described in subparagraph 7(B) of the
Construction Management Agreement.



     NAI also acknowledges that a 97-10/Event has occurred under and as defined in the Construction
Management Agreement, and that BNPPLC is thus entitled to demand and receive 97-10/Prepayments
under and as provided in Paragraph 9 of that agreement.

     The purpose of this letter is to give notice to BNPPLC and Participants of NAI’s intent to
terminate NAI’s rights and obligations to perform Work under the Construction Management Agreement.
This letter constitutes a “Notice of NAI’s Intent to
Terminate” given pursuant to subparagraph 7(B) of
the Construction Management Agreement. As provided in that subparagraph, as a condition to any
effective Termination of NAI’s Work, NAI must deliver a subsequent notice of termination to BNPPLC
and Participants, no less than forty-five days after the date BNPPLC receives this letter.



 





[DRAFTING NOTE: Unless this letter contains the alternative provisions set forth below as being
required for any “Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate Because of a Force Majeure Event,” this
letter must contain the following paragraph:




     The period running from the date of BNPPLC’s receipt of this letter to the effective date of
any actual Termination of NAI’s Work by NAI or BNPPLC will constitute a Work/Suspension Period
under the Construction Management Agreement. During such period BNPPLC’s funding obligations will
be limited and NAI may suspend the Work to the extent so provided in the Construction Management
Agreement. Moreover, NAI acknowledges that the delivery of this Notice of Intent to Terminate is a
97-10/Event. Therefore, after receipt of this notice BNPPLC will have the rights to demand and
receive 97-10/Prepayments from NAI as provided in Paragraph 9 of the Construction Management
Agreement.]


[DRAFTING NOTE: This letter will qualify as a “Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate Because of a
Force Majeure Event” only if NAI includes one of the following alternative sets of provisions, as
applicable.]




[ALTERNATIVE #1 (Applies only if there has been a Complete Taking):




     This letter constitutes a “Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate Because of a Force Majeure
Event” as defined in the Construction Management Agreement. A Complete Taking has occurred. Thus,
regardless of any Scope Changes BNPPLC may be willing to approve or consider, and regardless of any Increased Commitment BNPPLC may be willing to provide, it would
be futile to continue the Construction Project on the Land.



     NAI acknowledges and agrees that BNPPLC is entitled to all proceeds of the taking of the
Property and all such proceeds must be paid to BNPPLC. NAI has no right and will not assert any
right to share in such proceeds. NAI agrees to cooperate with BNPPLC as BNPPLC may

from time to time request in order to maximize BNPPLC’s recovery of such proceeds.]



[ALTERNATIVE #2 (applies in the event of a Pre-lease Force Majeure Event other than a Complete
Taking): Include the next (single sentence) paragraph, together with one or both (as applicable)
of the two paragraphs following the next (single sentence) paragraph, and together with the
remaining paragraphs after those two paragraphs, all with blanks filled in appropriately:




     This letter constitutes a “Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate Because of a Force Majeure
Event” as defined in the Construction Management Agreement.



     NAI now believes that the remaining available Construction Allowance will not be sufficient to
cover all Reimbursable Construction Period Costs yet to be paid or reimbursed from Construction
Advances only because of Pre-lease Force Majeure Excess Costs incurred or anticipated as a result
of one or more Pre-lease Force Majeure Events. BNPPLC has previously been notified of such
Pre-lease Force Majeure Event(s) by notice(s) dated                     , which NAI delivered to BNPPLC in
accordance with subparagraph 6(B) of the Construction Management Agreement. NAI’s current good faith
estimate of the Pre-lease Force Majeure Excess Costs that are most likely to be incurred because of
such Pre-lease Force Majeure Event(s) is $                    .



     NAI now believes that the Work will not be substantially complete before the Target Completion
Date only because of Pre-lease Force Majeure Delays resulting from one or more Pre-lease Force
Majeure Events. BNPPLC has previously been notified of such Pre-lease Force Majeure Event(s) by
notice(s) dated
                    , which NAI delivered to BNPPLC in accordance with subparagraph 6(B) of the
Construction Management Agreement. NAI’s current good faith estimate of the Pre-lease Force
Majeure Delays that are most likely to occur because of such Pre-lease Force Majeure Event(s) is
                     days.



     Also
be advised that, as provided in subparagraph 7(B) of the Construction Management Agreement,
BNPPLC is entitled to (but not obligated to) respond to this notice with an Increased Commitment.
Responding with an Increased Commitment will result in a conclusive presumption (for purposes of
calculating any 97-10/Prepayment required of NAI under the Purchase Agreement) that any Termination
of NAI’s Work is for reasons other than the Pre-lease Force Majeure Events of which BNPPLC has
previously been notified.



     In the event BNPPLC fails to respond with an Increased Commitment, the failure may excuse NAI
from the obligation to make a 97-10/Prepayment under Paragraph 5 of the Construction Management
Agreement notwithstanding any Termination of NAI’s Work, which would constitute a very material
adverse consequence to BNPPLC. Moreover, the Construction Management Agreement grants to NAI a
right to cause a Termination of NAI’s



Exhibit F to Construction Management Agreement — Page 3




 









 







Work at any time more than forty-five days after giving this
notice, provided that NAI continues to believe that the Construction Allowance is insufficient at
that time. Thus, if BNPPLC intends to respond with an Increased Commitment, BNPPLC would be well
advised to do so before the expiration of such forty-five day period. ]

     Re: Construction Management Agreement dated as of December 15, 2005 (the “Construction
Management Agreement”)between Network Appliance, Inc. (“NAI”), a Delaware corporation, and BNP
Paribas Leasing Corporation (“BNPPLC”), a Delaware corporation




Gentlemen:


     Capitalized terms used in this letter are intended to have the meanings assigned to them in
the Construction Management Agreement or in the Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement
referenced in the Construction Management Agreement.



     NAI has delivered a notice to BNPPLC dated                     , 20                    , which by its terms expressed NAI’s
intent that it constitute a “Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate Because of a Force Majeure Event”
as defined in the Construction Management Agreement. In such notice, NAI advised BNPPLC of NAI’s
intent to terminate the Construction Management Agreement because of NAI’s belief that the
Construction Allowance to be provided to it under the Construction Management Agreement will not be
sufficient to cover all Reimbursable Construction Period Costs yet to be paid or reimbursed from
Construction Advances. Such notice also expressed NAI’s belief that, but for the cost of repairing
damage to the Improvements caused by a Pre-lease Force Majeure Event, the remaining available
Construction Allowance would be sufficient. In addition, such notice set forth the amount of
$                     as NAI’s estimate of the Pre-lease Force Majeure Excess Costs most likely to be
incurred because of such Pre-lease Force Majeure Event.



     This response to such notice constitutes an Increased Funding Commitment. BNPPLC hereby
commits to increase the amount of the Construction Allowance by $                     (the estimate given by
NAI as described above). Such commitment is made on and subject to all of the same terms and
conditions set forth in the Construction Management Agreement and other Operative Documents as
being applicable to the original Construction Allowance and to Construction Advances required
thereunder.



     Please note that, according to the Construction Management Agreement, NAI will have ten days
after the date of any Increased Commitment (which may be comprised of this Increased Funding
Commitment and any separate Increased Time Commitment given contemporaneously



 









 




herewith) within which NAI may rescind the aforementioned Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate Because of a Force
Majeure Event by a notice given in the form prescribed by the Construction Management Agreement.
Any failure of NAI to so rescind the notice will constitute a 97-10/Event under and as defined in
the Construction Management Agreement and will result in a conclusive presumption (for purposes of
calculating any 97-10/Prepayment required of NAI) that any Termination of NAI’s Work occurred for
reasons other than the Pre-lease Force Majeure Events of which BNPPLC has previously been notified.

     NAI has delivered a notice to BNPPLC dated                     , 20                    , which by its terms expressed NAI’s
intent that it constitute a “Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate Because of a Force Majeure Event”
as defined in the Construction Management Agreement. In such notice, NAI advised BNPPLC of NAI’s
intent to elect a Termination of NAI’s Work because of NAI’s belief that the Work will not be
substantially complete prior to the Target Completion Date only because of Pre-lease Force Majeure
Delays. Such notice also expressed NAI’s belief that Pre-lease Force Majeure Delays are likely to
be                     days in the aggregate.



     This response to such notice constitutes an Increased Time Commitment. BNPPLC hereby commits
to extend the Target Completion Date by                     days (the estimate given by NAI as described
above).



     Please note that, according to the Construction Management Agreement, NAI will have ten days
after the date of any Increased Commitment (which may be comprised of this Increased Time
Commitment and any separate Increased Funding Commitment given contemporaneously herewith) within
which NAI may rescind the aforementioned Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate Because of a Force

     Re: Construction Management Agreement dated as of December 15, 2005 (the “Construction
Management Agreement”)between Network Appliance, Inc. (“NAI”), a Delaware corporation, and BNP

Agreement referenced in the Construction Management Agreement.

prior to the effective date of the Termination of NAI’s Work.
