ANNEX B TO SCHEDULE 5.1
TO THE FACILITY LEASE

APPLICABLE COST OF DEBT

The Parties acknowledge and agree that determination of the Applicable Cost of Debt as provided below should result in a cost of debt in the overall cost of capital that is reasonable, prudent and in the best interests of Lessees customers throughout the Lease Term:

1.1

Applicable Cost of Debt for the Leased Facility (other than Improvements).

(a)

Initial Applicable Cost of Debt.  Lessor and its Affiliates have financed and intend to finance Construction Costs through a combination of bank debt and long-term notes issued in a private placement.  The Parties agree that the actual all-in cost of such debt (including interest, issuance fees and expenses and other debt-related costs) shall be the basis for setting the Applicable Cost of Debt (in %) in the determination of Rent under the Facility Lease.

(b)

Refinancing Option.  Lessor shall ensure that the debt financing represented by such Applicable Cost of Debt shall provide for a call or refinancing option exercisable on or after the 10th anniversary of such debt financing (the Refinancing Option).  Within 90 days of entering into definitive documentation of such debt financing, Lessor shall provide Lessee written notice of the principal terms and conditions of the Refinancing Option, including, without limitation, the last date which by the Refinancing Option must be exercised (the Exercise Date) and any breakage costs or make-whole amounts or other refinancing premiums associated therewith.

(c)

Refinancing During Lease Term.  If Lessee determines that the Refinancing Option should be exercised, then it shall provide written notice thereof to Lessor not later than 90 days prior to the Exercise Date, and any such notice shall be irrevocable.  If Lessor receives such a notice from Lessee, it shall be obligated to exercise the Refinancing Option.  Commencing on the date the Refinancing Option has been exercised and the associated debt has been repaid or refinanced (the Refinancing Effective Date), the Applicable Cost of Debt during the Lease Term shall be redetermined in accordance with Section 1.1(b), provided that the Refinancing Effective Date shall be used instead of the Commercial Operation Date and Lessor shall not be obligated to provide for an additional Refinancing Option.  Within 60 days after the Refinancing Effective Date or as soon thereafter as is reasonable practicable, Lessor shall provide written notice to Lessee of all of the third-party costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of Lessor in connection with the exercise of the Refinancing Option, including, without limitation, any breakage costs or make-whole amounts or other refinancing premiums and all legal, accounting and financial advisor fees and expenses associated therewith.  Within 30 days of receipt of such notice from Lessor, Lessee shall pay the aggregate amount of costs and expenses specified in such notice to or for the account of Lessor as Lessor shall direct in such notice in immediately available funds.

(d)

Financing Costs.  All costs incurred to underwrite, issue and distribute debt securities and arrange for debt financing (including SEC registration fees, trustee fees, printing costs, legal fees, accounting fees and rating agency fees), shall be included in determining the all-in Applicable Cost of Debt for the Leased Facility.

1.2

Applicable Cost of Debt for the Improvements.

(a)

During Construction.

Unless otherwise determined under Section 1.2(b), for all Improvements under construction (and prior to deemed completion and in-service) begun after the Commercial Operation Date, the Applicable Cost of Debt (in %) shall be equal to the actual interest rate paid by Lessor to finance the cost of constructing such Improvements.

(b)

After In-Service Date.  For Improvements deemed completed and in-service after the Lease Effective Date, at anytime after the Improvements are 80% or more complete, but in any event no later than prior to the expected in-service date of the Improvements, Lessor shall select a cost of debt (in %) from the Cost of Debt Index during such period based on the lowest rated senior unsecured long term debt of MGE Energy.  The Applicable Cost of Debt (in %) in respect of such Improvements shall be equal to the cost of debt so selected by Lessor, plus an amount (in %) to reflect the debt financing costs pursuant to Section 1.2(c).

(c)

Financing Costs.  All costs incurred to underwrite, issue and distribute debt securities and arrange for debt financing (including SEC registration fees, trustee fees, printing fees, legal fees, accounting fees, and rating agency fees), shall be included in determining the all-in Applicable Cost of Debt (in %) for Improvements during both the construction phase and after the in-service date of the Improvement.

1.3

Cost of Debt Index.

(a)

For purposes of this Annex B to Schedule 5.1, the Cost of Debt Index shall mean Moody's Daily Long-Term Corporate Bond Yield Averages" for Utilities published by Moodys Investors Services (Moodys) or any successor index published by Moodys.  If the Moody's Daily Long-Term Corporate Bond Yield Averages" for Utilities or any successor index is no longer published by Moodys, or the lowest rated senior unsecured debt for MGE Energy (or the Moodys equivalent rating, if such debt is not rated by Moodys) is rated below the lowest rating listed on the Cost of Debt Index, then an alternative index shall be used for the Cost of Debt Index which shall be selected by Lessor and approved by the PSCW.

(b)

For purposes of selecting the cost of debt (in %) from the Cost of Debt Index, if the lowest rated senior unsecured debt for MGE Energy (or the Moodys equivalent rating, if such debt is not rated by Moodys) is rated at one of the ratings listed on the Cost of Debt Index, then the cost of debt for such rating shall be used for purposes of determining the Applicable Cost of Debt.

(c)

If, however, the lowest rated senior unsecured debt for MGE Energy (or the Moodys equivalent rating, if such debt is not rated by Moodys) is rated at a rating that is not listed on the Cost of Debt Index, then for purposes of determining the Applicable Cost of Debt, Lessor shall calculate the cost of debt (in %) by using the average of the two costs of debt that are listed on the Cost of Debt Index under the ratings immediately above and below such MGE Energy rating.

ARTICLE 4GENERAL TAX INDEMNITY

4.1

Indemnity Obligation.  Except as otherwise provided herein, Lessee shall pay, and shall indemnify and hold harmless on an After-Tax Basis Lessor from and against, any and all Taxes, however imposed, whether levied or imposed upon Lessor, Lessee, or the Leased Facility or any part thereof, by any Governmental Authority relating to:

(a)

the Leased Facility or any interest therein;

(b)

the acquisition, manufacture, purchase, ownership, delivery, nondelivery, redelivery, transport, location, lease, sublease, hire, assignment, alteration, improvement, possession, repossession, presence, use, replacement, substitution, operation, insurance, installation, modification, rebuilding, overhaul, condition, storage, maintenance, repair, acceptance, sale, return, abandonment, preparation, transfer of title, or other disposition of the Leased Facility or any part or any interest in any of the foregoing;

(c)

the execution, delivery, or performance of any of the Lease Documents or any future amendment, supplement, waiver, or consent thereto (requested or consented to by Lessee or in connection with a Lessee Event of Default), or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, or any proceeds or payments or amounts payable under any thereof; or

(d)

otherwise with respect to or in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Lease Documents.

4.2

Exclusions to Indemnification.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall not be obligated to pay or indemnify Lessor for any Taxes to the extent such Taxes are attributable to the following:

(a)

Taxes imposed on Lessor by a Governmental Authority, by withholding or otherwise based on, or measured by or with respect to net or gross income, net or gross receipts, minimum tax, capital, franchise, net worth, excess profits, value added, or conduct of business taxes, capital gains taxes, excess profits taxes, minimum and/or alternative minimum taxes, accumulated earnings taxes, personal holding company taxes, succession taxes and estate or other similar taxes, in each case however denominated, other than any such Taxes which are in the nature of sales, use, license, ad valorem, transfer, property or similar taxes, or value added taxes (except to the extent such value added taxes are imposed in direct and clear substitution for an income tax);

(b)

Taxes imposed with respect to any period following the later of (x) the expiration or earlier termination of the Facility Lease, or (y) the payment by Lessee of all amounts due and payable under the Lease Documents;

(c)

Taxes to the extent resulting from a breach by Lessor of any of its covenants, representations or warranties under the Lease Documents;

(d)

Taxes imposed as a result of Lessors transfer or other disposition of (i) all or a portion of its interest in the Lease Documents, the Leased Facility or any part thereof, or (ii) any interest in Lessor, other than, in each case, a transfer or disposition pursuant to an exercise of remedies pursuant to Article 15 of the Facility Lease during the continuation of a Lessee Event of Default, the termination of the Facility Lease upon Lessees exercise of its options pursuant to Article 12 of the Facility Lease, or a substitution, loss or modification of the Leased Facility;

(e)

Taxes to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor (other than gross negligence imputed to Lessor solely by reason of its interest in the Leased Facility);

(f)

Taxes subject to indemnification by Lessee pursuant to Article 3 (or indemnifiable but for an exclusion therein);

(g)

Taxes resulting from the failure of Lessor to provide, at the request of Lessee, any certification, documentation, or other evidence required as a condition to the allowance of a reduction in such Tax, which, if properly complied with, would have resulted in an exemption from, or a reduced rate of such Tax but only if Lessor was eligible to comply with such requirement and Lessor has determined in good faith that compliance with such requirements would not have a materially adverse effect on Lessor or any of its affiliates;

(h)

Taxes consisting of interest, penalties, or additions to tax imposed on Lessor as a result of a failure of Lessor to file any return, tax report or statement properly or timely, unless such failure is caused by Lessees failure to fulfill its obligations, if any, to provide such information required under Section 2.3 or Section 2.4;

(i)

the failure of Lessor to contest a claim in accordance with the contest provisions herein to the extent Lessees ability to contest a claim is adversely affected in any material respect;

(j)

Taxes arising as a result of the failure of Lessor (or transferee thereof) to be a United States person (as defined in § 7701(a)(30)) of the Code;

(k)

Taxes that result from, or arise out of, or are attributable to the imposition of any Taxes pursuant to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code;

(l)

Taxes that are attributable to the situs of organization or incorporation, place of management or control, a place of business, or a permanent establishment of Lessor, in each case, other than as a result of (i) the execution and delivery of the Lease Documents, (ii) the transactions contemplated by the Lease Documents; or (iii) the use, location or operation of the Facility (or any part thereof); or

(m)

Taxes to the extent liability for such Tax could have been reduced or provided through prudent action, as defined by Wisc. Public Serv. Corp. v. Public Serv. Comm., 156 Wis. 2d 611 (Ct. App 1990), and as may be interpreted from time to time.

4.3

Reports and Returns.  If any report or return is required to be made with respect to Taxes that are Lessees obligations under Section 2.1, Lessee shall, at its sole expense, in a timely and proper fashion, (x) to the extent required or permitted by law, make and file in its own name such return or report (except for any such report or return that any Lessor has notified Lessee that such Lessor intends to file), and (y) in the case of any such return or report required to be made in the name of any Lessor, inform Lessor of such fact and prepare such return or report for filing by Lessor in a manner reasonably acceptable to Lessor or, where such return or report is required to reflect items in addition to any obligations of Lessee under or arising out of the Taxes described in Section 2.1, provide Lessor with information sufficient to permit such return or report to be properly made with respect to any Taxes that are obligations of Lessee under Section 2.1 no later than 30 days prior to the filing date of such return or report.  Lessor shall provide to Lessee such information within Lessors possession or control as is reasonably necessary for Lessee to complete and file any such report or return properly, provided that Lessor shall not be required to provide Lessee with copies of its tax returns.

4.4

Receipts and Records.  Lessee shall use reasonable efforts to obtain official receipts indicating the payment of all Taxes that are subject to indemnification under Section 2.1 and that are paid by Lessee, and shall promptly on request send to Lessor each such receipt obtained by Lessee or other such evidence of payment as is reasonably acceptable to such Lessor and reasonably available to Lessee.  Within a reasonable time after Lessee receives from Lessor a written request for specified information or copies of specified records reasonably necessary to enable Lessor to fulfill its Tax filing, Tax audit or other Tax obligations or to contest Taxes imposed upon it, Lessee shall provide such information or copies of such records to the requesting party.

ARTICLE 5INCOME TAX INDEMNITY

5.1

Tax Assumptions.  The transactions contemplated by the Lease Documents have been entered into on the basis of the following tax assumptions (the Tax Assumptions):

(a)

True Lease.  For purposes of federal income tax, the Facility Lease will be a true lease under which Lessor will be treated as the owner and lessor of the Leased Facility and Lessee will be treated as lessee thereof.

(b)

Corporate Status.  Lessor is not a separate tax-paying entity for federal income tax purposes.  Instead, Lessor is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for federal income tax purposes.  As such, all of its income, gain, losses and deductions flow through to its sole corporate member.  Therefore, for the purposes of this Article 3, it is assumed that Lessor: (i) is a Subchapter C corporation under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code); (ii) is subject to tax at the highest marginal rate applicable to Subchapter C corporations in effect at the time an obligation arises under Section 3.3; (iii) recognizes income, gain, credits, losses and deductions at the same time and in the same manner as its sole Member; and (iv) is not a member of an affiliated group of corporations filing a consolidated federal or state income tax return.  The assumptions in this Section 3.1(b) shall apply for both federal and state income tax purposes.

(c)

Method of Accounting.  Lessor is a calendar-year taxpayer and will report all items of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit relating to the transactions effected by the Lease Documents using the accrual method of accounting.

(d)

Inclusions in Income.  Lessor will not be required to include any amount in gross income for federal income tax purposes in connection with the transactions effected by the Lease Documents other than: (i) Renewal Rent and Basic Rent in the amounts and periods as calculated pursuant to Schedules 12.2 and 14.1, respectively, to the Facility Lease; (ii) income realized upon the transfer of Lessors direct or beneficial interest in the Facility Lease or the Leased Facility or any portion thereof, other than a transfer attributable to a Lessee Event of Default; (iii) any other amounts (including Termination Value or amounts measured in respect of such value) payable on an After-Tax Basis; (iv) any warranties, refunds, damages, insurance, requisition, or condemnation proceeds received and retained by Lessor; (v) any amount payable to Lessor and specifically designated as interest or late payment charges on overdue payments; and (vi) any other amounts to the extent offset by a corresponding deduction, (the inclusion in income of any amount other than the amounts described in this Section 3.1(d) being referred to herein as an Inclusion).

(e)

Tax Reporting Status.  Lessor will not be subject to any minimum tax or alternative minimum tax imposed under the Code.

(f)

Tax Assumptions.  Lessee will have no liability to indemnify Lessor with respect to the Tax Assumptions contained herein.

5.2

Lessees Tax Representations and Covenants.  For purposes of this Article 3, Lessee hereby represents and covenants:

(a)

On the Lease Commencement Date, the Leased Facility will not require any improvements, modifications, or additions in order to be rendered complete for its intended use by Lessee and Lessee has no present intention to make any specific material non-severable improvements.

(b)

Any written information provided by Lessee to the appraiser (and identified in an Annex to this Schedule 17.2) providing the appraisal pursuant to Section 3.6 or Article 12 of the Facility Lease was, to the knowledge of Lessee, accurate at the time given.

(c)

During the Basic Term, neither Lessee nor any sublessee or user of the Leased Facility (a Lessee Person) (other than Lessor or its affiliates other than Lessee) will (i) make any claim (including, without limitation, filing a tax return) predicated on ownership of the Leased Facility, or take any action or position inconsistent with the Tax Assumptions or the status of Lessor as the sole owner of the Leased Facility for federal, state and local income tax purposes, or (ii) claim deductions for Basic Rent for federal, state or local income tax purposes during the Base Term for any period other than the period to which such Basic Rent is allocated pursuant to Section 5.1, unless, in the case of either (i) or (ii), such position is inconsistent with a Final Determination which is binding on Lessor or Lessee.

(d)

Purchase Options.  As of the Lease Commencement Date, neither Lessee nor any Affiliate thereof has (i) taken any action requiring or authorizing the exercise of any purchase option or renewal option described in Article 12 of the Facility Lease, (ii) made any binding decision to exercise any purchase option or renewal option described in Article 12 of the Facility Lease, or (iii) entered into any agreements with any persons concerning the exercise of any purchase option or renewal option described in Article 12 of the Facility Lease, provided, that the execution, delivery and performance of the Lease Documents in accordance with the terms thereof shall not constitute a breach of the foregoing representation.

(e)

Limited Use Property.  Neither Lessee, nor any sublessee, assignee, agent or user (other than Lessor) of the Leased Facility will construct or install on the Leased Facility any component, improvement, alteration, or addition if the construction or installation will cause the Leased Facility to constitute limited use property within the meaning of Revenue Procedure 2001-28, 2001-19 I.R.B. 1156.

(f)

Sole Remedy.  An indemnity payment hereunder shall be the only remedy for the inaccuracy of any representation or covenant set forth in this Section 3.2.  No representation or warranty of Lessee contained in any of the Lease Documents shall be construed as a representation or warranty that the Facility Lease will constitute a true lease, that Lessor will be treated as the tax owner of the Leased Facility, or that the Leased Facility has a specified value or economic useful life.

5.3

Indemnity Obligation.  If at any time Lessor is required by any Governmental Authority to make an Inclusion in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Lease Documents or Lessor is unable to exclude an Inclusion from its federal, state or local tax return (based upon the receipt by Lessor and Lessee not later than the filing date of the related tax return of Lessor of an opinion of independent tax counsel selected by Lessor and reasonably satisfactory to Lessee to the effect that there is no reasonable basis under the standards set forth in ABA Formal Opinion 85-352 (the ABA Standards) (such a basis a Reasonable Basis) for excluding such Inclusion (which opinion shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for the conclusions set forth therein) or such claim would be inconsistent with a prior Final Determination of a contest and there has been no change in law or interpretation thereof after such Final Determination) as a result of any of the following:

(a)

the inaccuracy or breach of any representation of Lessee set forth above in Section 3.2 or any covenant, representation, or warranty in the Lease Documents,

(b)

any act or omission of Lessee, other than (i) the negotiation, execution or delivery of the Lease Documents, (ii) an act required or expressly permitted by the Lease Documents (other than any improvement, alteration, addition to, replacement, or temporary or permanent removal from service or retirement, modification, or substitution of the Leased Facility or any part thereof by Lessee or any Lessee Person) or (iii) any act taken by the Lessee at the request of the Lessor,

(c)

any failure by Lessee to take any action expressly required to be taken under the Lease Documents (other than a failure to take action that is requested by Lessor),

(d)

a payment of warranties, refunds, insurance proceeds or similar items, or requisition, condemnation, or similar proceeds to the extent not retained by, or applied for the benefit of Lessor,

(e)

any destruction, damage, loss, condemnation, non-use or requisition of Leased Facility or any part thereof, which does not constitute an Event of Loss or an Event of Total Loss, or

(f)

an actual payment in an amount greater than due, or prior to the due date, of any amount required to be paid by Lessee under the Lease Documents,

(each such event, a Lessee Act), then Lessor shall have suffered an Inclusion Event and Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as an indemnity a lump-sum amount which, after giving effect to the Gross-Up (as defined in Section 4.2(a)), shall be sufficient to give to Lessor the same Return on Capital that it would have had if no such Inclusion Event had occurred.  In lieu of the lump-sum payment provided for in the preceding sentence, Lessee may elect to pay the indemnity with respect to such Inclusion Event by reimbursing (on an after-tax basis) a Lessor for the taxes (together with any applicable interest, penalties and additions to tax) which such Lessor is required to pay in any calendar year as a result of the Inclusion Event as provided in Section 4.2.

5.4

Excluded Events.  Lessee shall not be required to make any payment in respect of an Inclusion Event to the extent such Inclusion results from one or more of the following events:

(a)

Lessors failure to properly exclude income unless Lessor shall have received a written opinion of its independent tax counsel that no Reasonable Basis exists for excluding such income (and for this purpose, such counsel may take into account the failure of Lessee to provide necessary information requested in writing by Lessor to the extent Lessee is required to provide such information);

(b)

any event which requires Lessee to pay an amount equal to or in excess of, or determined by reference to Termination Value to the extent such amount is actually paid;

(c)

the application of Code § 467 or the Treasury Regulations thereunder, other than as a result of (i) an actual payment in an amount greater than due or prior to the due date, of any amount required to be paid by Lessee under the Lease Documents or (ii) the claiming by Lessee during the Base Term of a deduction for Basic Rent for federal, state or local income tax purposes for any period other than the period to which such Basic Rent is allocated pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Facility Lease;

(d)

the imposition of any alternative minimum tax under the Code § 55;

(e)

the breach of any covenant or representation by, or the gross negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct of Lessor;

(f)

any amendment or modification to the Lease Documents that is not requested or consented to by Lessee or is not required by the Lease Documents unless, in each case, the amendment or modification is made in connection with a Lease Event of Default;

(g)

any change in Lessors taxable year or method of accounting or the application of the short taxable year provisions of the Code;

(h)

the failure of the Facility Lease to be treated as a true lease for federal income tax purposes, other than as a result of a Lessee Act;

(i)

the failure of Lessor to contest a claim in accordance with the contest provisions herein to the extent Lessees ability to contest a claim is adversely affected in any material respect;

(j)

the failure of Lessor to be a United States person (as defined in § 7701(a)(30) of the Code);

(k)

consisting of interest, penalties, or additions to tax imposed on Lessor as a result of a failure of Lessor to file any return properly or timely, unless such failure is caused by Lessees failure to fulfill its obligations, if any, to provide such information required hereto;

(l)

the sale of the Leased Facility to Lessee pursuant to an exercise of Lessees purchase options under the Facility Lease;

(m)

imposed as a result of Lessors transfer or other disposition of (i) all or a portion of its interest in the Lease Documents, the Leased Facility or any part thereof, or (ii) any interest in Lessor, other than, in each case, a transfer or disposition pursuant to an exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 15 of the Facility Lease during the continuation of a Lessee Event of Default;

(n)

the application of Code Section 55-58, 59A, 291, 465, 469, 501, 542, 552, 593, 851, 856, 1272, 1361 or 4975 or the regulations thereunder or the imposition of any Taxes imposed pursuant to ERISA; and

(o)

the failure of the Appraisal to be correct, except as a result of the breach or inaccuracy of the income tax representations contained in Section 3.2(a) (b) or (c) hereof.

ARTICLE 6PAYMENTS AND GROSS-UPS

6.1

Payment Terms.

(a)

General.  Payments shall be made in immediately available funds and in United States Dollars at such bank or to such account as specified by the payee in written directives at least five Business Days prior to the due date thereof to the payor, or, if no such direction is given, by check of the payor payable to the order of the payee and mailed to the payee by certified mail, postage prepaid at its address as set forth in Section 22.4 of the Facility Lease.

(b)

Time of Payment by Lessee.  Any indemnity payment due under this Schedule 17.2 to Lessor shall be paid by Lessee within 30 days after receipt of a written demand therefor from Lessor, provided, however, Lessee shall not be required to make such payment earlier than (a) in the case of a Tax that is not being contested pursuant to Article 5, five Business Days prior to the date that Lessor files with the applicable Governmental Authority its income tax return, estimated or final as the case may be, which would first properly reflect the additional income tax that would become due as a result of an Inclusion, or in the case of a Tax indemnified under Section 2.1, the time such Tax is due or (b) in the case of an Inclusion or other Tax that is being contested pursuant to Article 5, 30 days after the date of the Final Determination of such contest.

(c)

Time of Payment by Lessor.  Any payment due by Lessor to Lessee shall be paid within 30 days after the date on which Lessor files with the applicable Governmental Authority its income tax return, estimated or final as the case may be, on which the credits, deductions, or other tax benefits giving rise to such payment could first properly be reflected or in the case of a Tax indemnified under Section 2.1, within 30 days of receipt or accrual of such refund, credit or other tax benefit.  Any payment due hereunder from Lessor to Lessee on account of the receipt of any refund of tax shall be paid within 30 days after the receipt of such refund.

6.2

Calculations of Payments and Gross-Ups.  All payments and calculations made under this Section 4.2 shall be made taking into account the assumption in Section 3.1(b) (regarding the assumption that Lessor is a C corporation for federal and state income tax purposes).

(a)

Gross-Up.  Each payment and indemnity under Section 2.1 and Section 3.3 shall be made on an After-Tax Basis.  For the purposes of this Section 4.2 and the definition of After-Tax Basis, Gross-Up means the portion of any payment due from Lessee to Lessor pursuant to Section 2.1 and Section 3.3 that is calculated to indemnify Lessor or the portion of any reverse payment from Lessor to Lessee on an After-Tax Basis.  As such, the amount payable to Lessor pursuant to Section 2.1 and Section 3.3 shall be an amount determined after (i) giving effect to any interest, penalties, or additions to tax attributable to the Tax or Inclusion Event (except for any penalties and additions to Tax excluded under Section 2.2(h) or Section 3.4(k); (ii) deducting all Taxes payable by Lessor in respect of the receipt or accrual of such amount and the amounts specified in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 4.2; and (iii) taking into account any Tax Savings (as defined in Section 4.3 below) resulting from such Tax or Inclusion Event, as applicable, (the net effect of items (i), (ii) and (iii), the Gross-Up).

(b)

Calculations.  The amount of any indemnity payable by Lessee to Lessor pursuant to Section 2.1, Section 3.3 and any Gross-Up shall be calculated on the basis of the tax detriments and benefits incurred or to be incurred (for the purposes of Section 3.3 as a result the same event giving rise to such Inclusion Event) by Lessor and such amounts shall be computed (i) for Section 2.1, at the highest marginal rate of federal income tax then in effect and the actual state or local tax rates applicable to Lessor at the time and (ii) for Section 3.3, on a notional basis in accordance with the Tax Assumptions.  Any Tax or Inclusion Event which does not result in an increase in Lessors federal, state and local income tax liability (or a decrease in Lessors refund of such income taxes) in the year of such Tax or Inclusion Event but which reduces any net operating loss, business credit, foreign tax credit carryover or other tax attribute of Lessor shall be treated as giving rise to an increase in U.S. federal, state or local income tax liability in the year for which such tax attribute if not reduced thereby would have given rise to a reduction in Lessors federal, state or local tax liability.  Subject to Section 6.2, all calculations with respect to the amount of any indemnity payable hereunder (whether by lump-sum payment or otherwise) shall be made initially by Lessor, and Lessor shall set forth any such amount or adjustment in a statement furnished to Lessee.  Such a statement shall accompany any notice furnished to, or demand made upon, Lessee by Lessor pursuant to this Schedule 17.2.

6.3

Reverse Indemnity.  If, as a result of a Tax indemnified under Section 2.1 herein or an Inclusion Event with respect to which an indemnity has been paid hereunder, Lessor for any taxable year realizes any credits, deductions, or other tax benefits (Tax Savings) not otherwise taken into account in computing any payment or indemnity by Lessee hereunder (or as a result thereof Lessor shall be entitled to a refund of income tax (or an offset against other tax liability not indemnified hereunder) or interest on such refund (or offset) taking into account the Tax Assumptions in the case of an Inclusion Event), then Lessor shall pay to Lessee the amount by which such Tax Savings reduce the federal, state or local taxes of Lessor (and the amount of any such refund, offset, or interest to which Lessor is entitled), plus a gross-up for any additional federal, state or local income tax savings Lessor realizes as a result of such payment (including such gross-up).  The amount of any Tax Savings with respect to a Tax indemnified under Section 2.1 or an Inclusion Event shall be computed on the basis of the tax benefits realized by Lessor and by using the highest marginal rate of federal income tax then in effect and the actual state and local tax rate applicable to Lessor at the time.  Lessor shall not be obligated to make any payment pursuant to this Section 4.3 while a Lessee Event of Default exists or to the extent that the amount of such payment would exceed (1) the aggregate amount of all prior payments by Lessee to Lessor pursuant to Section 2.1 and Section 3.3, as the case may be, less (2) the aggregate amount of all prior payments by Lessor to Lessee under this Section 4.3, but any such excess shall be carried forward and reduce Lessees obligations to make subsequent payments to Lessor pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 3.3.  Any subsequent disallowance or loss of all or any portion of a reduction in Lessors tax liability which reduction was taken into account under this Section 4.3 (as a result of a redetermination of the claim giving rise to such payment by Lessor to Lessee by any taxing authority or as a result of a judicial proceeding with respect to such claim) shall be treated as a loss subject to indemnification under this Agreement without regard to Section 2.2 (other than Sections 2.2(c) or (e)) or Section 3.4 (other than Section 3.4(e)).

6.4

Lessee a Primary Obligor.  Lessees obligations under the indemnities provided for in this Schedule 17.2 are those of a primary obligor whether or not Lessor is also indemnified against the same matter under any other Lease Document or any other document or instrument, and Lessor seeking indemnification from Lessee may proceed directly against Lessee without first seeking to enforce any other right of indemnification.  All indemnities payable by Lessee pursuant to this Schedule 17.2 shall be treated as obligations of Lessee under the Facility Lease and shall constitute Supplemental Rent under the Facility Lease.

ARTICLE 7CONTEST PROVISIONS

7.1

Notice.  If Lessor receives a formal written notice of a claim or, if at the conclusion of an audit by the Internal Revenue Service or other Governmental Authority, there is a proposed adjustment in any item of income, deduction or credit of Lessor, in either case, which if agreed to or accepted by Lessor would result in a Tax for which Lessor would seek indemnification from Lessee pursuant to this Schedule 17.2, then Lessor shall, (a) within 15 days prior to the date on which Lessor is required to act or (b) promptly after the conclusion of an audit, notify Lessee thereof in writing (Adjustment Notice).

7.2

Contest Provisions.  If requested by Lessee within 30 days after receipt of the Adjustment Notice, Lessor shall in good faith contest or (if desired by Lessor) permit Lessee to contest the validity, applicability, and amount of any proposed adjustment that would give rise to a Tax or Inclusion Event by (a) not making payment thereof for at least 30 days after providing the Adjustment Notice, unless otherwise required by applicable law or regulations, (b) not paying same except under protest, if protest is necessary and proper, or (c) if payment is made, using reasonable efforts to obtain a refund thereof in appropriate administrative and judicial proceedings; provided, that (aa) in the case of an income tax contest, as a condition to the commencement of such contest, Lessor shall have received a written opinion of its independent tax counsel selected by Lessor and reasonably acceptable to Lessee to the effect that there is a Reasonable Basis for contesting such proposed adjustment, (bb) Lessor shall not be required to contest such proposed adjustment if the aggregate amount of the indemnity, on a before-tax basis, together with the amounts payable with respect to any future related claim, would be less than $25,000 in the case of an administrative contest or less than $50,000 in the case of a judicial contest, (cc) Lessee shall have agreed in writing to pay to Lessor, on demand, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses which Lessor incurs in connection with and reasonably allocable to contesting such adjustment, including all reasonable legal, accountants, and investigatory fees and disbursements; (dd) a Lessee Event of Default shall not have occurred and be continuing (provided however, that if a Lessee Event of Default other than as a result of a payment default or bankruptcy shall exist, the foregoing restriction shall not apply if Lessee posts a bond to secure payment of amounts that will fall due in the event of an adverse resolution of the controversy), (ee) Lessor has determined, in good faith, that the contest will not result in a material risk of the loss or forfeiture of the Leased Facility (unless Lessee has provided to Lessor a bond or other sufficient protection against such risk of loss or forfeiture reasonably satisfactory to Lessor) or the imposition of criminal penalties, and (ff) Lessee shall have acknowledged, in writing, that the contest is with respect to a liability that is Lessees responsibility under this Schedule 17.2, provided however that such acknowledgement is not required other than to the extent the basis for the IRSs claim is or becomes reasonably clear.

If requested by Lessee in writing, Lessor will appeal (or, if desired by Lessor, permit Lessee to appeal) any adverse judicial determination, provided, that Lessor shall receive an opinion of its independent tax counsel selected by Lessor and reasonably acceptable to Lessee to the effect that there is substantial authority under ABA Standards and within the meaning of Section 6662 of the Code for a favorable result as a result of such appeal.  Lessor shall not be required to appeal any adverse judicial determination to the United States Supreme Court.

7.3

Compromise or Settlement.  Lessor shall have the right to settle or compromise a contest if Lessor has provided Lessee with a reasonable opportunity to review a copy of that portion of the settlement or compromise proposal which relates to the claim for which Lessor is seeking indemnification hereunder; provided, that if (a) Lessor fails to provide Lessee such a reasonable opportunity to review such portion of such proposal, or (b) after such reasonable opportunity to review such proposal Lessee in writing reasonably withholds its consent to all or part of such settlement or compromise proposal, then Lessee shall not be obligated to indemnify Lessor hereunder to the extent of the amount attributable to the Tax or Inclusion to which such settlement or compromise relates as to which Lessee has reasonably withheld its consent, or with respect to any other Inclusion or Tax for which a successful contest is foreclosed because of such settlement or compromise as to which Lessee has reasonably withheld its consent.

7.4

Refunds.  If Lessor receives a refund of all or any part of any amount paid with respect to a Tax for which Lessee has indemnified Lessor pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 3.3 hereof (or if an amount which otherwise would have been a refund was used to offset another liability of Lessor (an Applied Amount)), then Lessor shall pay to Lessee an amount equal to the sum of the amount of such refund (or Amount), plus any interest received on such refund (or that would have been received if such Applied Amount had been refunded to Lessor) attributable to any taxes paid by Lessee to or for Lessor net of any taxes incurred on such refund or Applied Amount (plus any tax benefit received or that would have been received by a Lessor on account of such payment, as determined under Section 4.2).  If Lessor receives an award of attorneys fees in a contest for which Lessee has paid an allocable portion of the contest expenses, Lessor shall pay to Lessee the same proportion of the amount of such award as the amount of Lessors attorneys fees paid or reimbursed by Lessee bears to the total amount of attorneys fees actually incurred by Lessor in conducting such contest, up to the amount of attorneys fees paid or borne by Lessee in connection with such contest.  Lessor shall not be obligated to make any payment to Lessee under this Section 5.4 while a Lessee Event of Default exists.  Any subsequent disallowance or loss of such refund (as a result of a redetermination of the claim giving rise to such payment by Lessor to Lessee by any taxing authority or as a result of a judicial proceeding with respect to such claim) shall be treated as a loss subject to indemnification under this Agreement without regard to Section 2.2 (other than Section 2.2(c) or (e)) or Section 3.4 (other than Section 3.4(e)).

7.5

Failure to Contest.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 5 and subject to the exclusion contained in Section 2.2(i)and Section 3.4(i), Lessor may at any time decline to take any further action with respect to a proposed adjustment by notifying Lessee in writing that it has waived its right to any indemnity payment that would otherwise be payable by Lessee pursuant to this Schedule 17.2 in respect of such adjustment and with respect to any other amount for which a successful contest is foreclosed because of such failure to contest (if such failure adversely affects a contest in any material respect) or to permit a contest.  If Lessor fails to contest or to permit a contest hereunder, Lessor will not be required to pay over to Lessee any amount representing tax benefits which result from an Inclusion as to which Lessor has been deemed to have waived its right to any indemnity payment hereunder.

ARTICLE 8RECOMPUTATIONS

8.1

Termination Value Recomputation.  If Lessor suffers an Inclusion, Termination Values associated with the Leased Facility or with the portion thereof to which such Inclusion relates shall thereupon, without further act of the parties hereto or to the other Lease Documents, be adjusted upward or downward, if and to the extent necessary to reflect such Inclusion (such adjustments to be in accordance with the methodology and assumptions (including the tax assumptions set forth in Section 3.1) as were employed in originally calculating Termination Values, varying such assumptions to take into account the circumstances giving rise to such Inclusion (and any previous Inclusion) and any net tax detriments to Lessor arising as a result thereof).  If any adjustment to Termination Values is required as a result of an Inclusion that has occurred, Lessor shall provide Lessee a statement setting forth the revised Termination Values as determined by Lessor.  Such statement shall describe in reasonable detail the basis for computing such new values.  If no adjustment to Termination Values is required as a result of an Inclusion that has occurred, and if requested in writing by Lessee, Lessor shall provide Lessee with a statement that no such adjustment has been made.  If requested by Lessee, such statement shall be verified in accordance with the same procedures as are provided in Section 6.2 for the verification of amounts payable pursuant to this Schedule 17.2, and such verification shall bind Lessor and Lessee.

8.2

Verification of Calculations.  At Lessees request, the accuracy of any calculation of amount(s) payable pursuant to this Schedule 17.2 shall be verified by independent public accountants selected by Lessor and reasonably satisfactory to Lessee, and such verification shall bind Lessor and Lessee.  In order, and to the extent necessary, to enable such independent accountants to verify such amounts, Lessor shall provide to such independent accountants (for their confidential use and not to be disclosed to Lessee or any other person) all information reasonably necessary for such verification, including any computer program, related files, or reports used by Lessor in originally calculating Basic Rent, Termination Values or other Taxes.  Verification shall be at the expense of Lessee, unless, as the result of such verification, the Owner Participants calculation of the applicable amount payable is adjusted by 3% or more (or, in the case of an adjustment of the Basic Rent, the net present value of the Rent as calculated by Lessor is adjusted by more than five basis points) in favor of Lessee, in which case the expense shall be borne by Lessor.

1.

The Lessee hereby agrees:

(a)

the Demised Premises have been delivered to the Lessee in accordance with the terms of the Leases, and Lessee has accepted the Demised Premises unconditionally;

(b)

subject to this Agreement, the Leases and the Lessees leasehold estate and any and all estates, options, liens and charges therein contained or created thereby are, and shall be and remain, subject and subordinate in all respects to the lien and effects of the Facility Mortgage, the Assignment of Rents and the Ground Sublease Mortgage (collectively, the Security Instruments) and to all of the terms, conditions and provisions thereof, to all advances secured thereby or to be secured thereby, and to any renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations or replacements thereof, with the same force and effect as if the Security Instruments had been executed, delivered and duly recorded prior to the execution and delivery of the Leases;

(c)

Lessee shall not subordinate its leasehold interest in the Demised Premises or subordinate its interest under the Leases for the benefit of any party other than Lender without Lenders prior written consent;

(d)

Lessee asserts no claim (a) of offset, defense, deduction or counterclaim with respect to payment of rents, rentals, fees, profits, payments or other charges due and payable under the Leases or (b) against the Lessor with regard to any obligation of Lessor under the Leases.  Lessee further agrees that from time to time, within ten days of written request by the Lender, Lessee shall forthwith provide the Lender with an estoppel certificate certifying that no defaults, claims, offsets or events, or situations which, with the passage of time, could become a default or the basis for a claim or offset against the Lessor by the Lessee, exist under the Leases or, if the same exist, certifying and describing such items as are in existence;

(e)

Lessee will forward to the Lender copies of any notice, claim or demand given or made by the Lessee to or on the Lessor, in all cases concurrently with forwarding same to the Lessor, such copies to be provided to the Lender by the same method of mailing as the statement, notice, claim or demand was made or given to or on the Lessor;

(f)

without the prior written consent of the Lender (i) no rent or other sums due under the Leases shall be paid more than 30 days in advance of the due date therefor established by the Leases, except the security deposit, if any, (ii) no modifications shall be made in the provisions of the Leases nor shall the term be extended or renewed, except as provided therein, (iii) the Leases shall not be terminated by the Lessee except as provided therein nor shall the Lessee tender or accept a surrender of the Leases except incident to a termination provided for in the Leases, and (iv) Lesseet shall only sublet the premises demised by the Leases or assign the Lessees interest in the Leases in accordance with the provisions of the Leases;

(g)

in the event of any act or omission by the Lessor which would give the Lessee the right to terminate any of the Leases or to claim a partial or total eviction, reduce rents or to credit or offset any amounts against future rents, the Lessee will not exercise such right until (i) it shall have given written notice of such act or omission to the Lender, and (ii) a reasonable time for remedying such act or omission shall have elapsed following such giving of notice; and if it so elects, the Lender shall have the right to cure any default by the Lessor under the Leases, including, if necessary to cure such defaults, gaining access to the premises demised by the Leases in accordance with the terms of the Leases.

(h)

notices required to be given to the Lender under this Agreement will be given to any successor-in-interest of the Lender under the Security Instruments provided that, prior to the event for which notice is required to be given to the Lender, such successor-in-interest of the Lender shall have given written notice to the Lessee of its acquisition of the Lenders interest therein, and designated the address to which such notice is to be directed;

(i)

upon written notification by the Lender to Lessee that rental payments are to be made to the Lender due to a default under the Note or the other Security Instruments, Lessee will cease making rental payments to Lessor, and will begin making such rental payments to the Lender, as required by the terms of the Security Instruments;

(j)

in the event that the holder of the Security Instruments (as now or hereafter constituted), or anyone claiming from or through any such holder, shall enter into and lawfully become possessed of the Demised Premises, or shall succeed to the rights of the Lessor under the Leases, either through foreclosure of said Security Instruments or otherwise, (i) the Lessee shall attorn to, and recognize, such holder or anyone claiming from or through such holder as its Lessor under the Leases for the unexpired balance of the term of the Leases and any extension or renewal thereof, subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Leases, (ii) the Lessee shall make all payments payable by the Lessee under the Leases directly to the holder of the Security Instruments upon such holders written instructions to the Lessee, and (iii) the Lessee shall not hold such holder responsible for any security deposit or advance rent payment that was not received by the Lender or such holder. If, by operation of law, or otherwise, the institution of any action or other proceedings by the Lender under the Security Instruments or the entry into and taking possession of the Demised Premises shall result in the cancellation or termination of the Leases or the Lessees obligation thereunder, the Lessee shall, upon request, execute and deliver a new lease or leases of the Demised Premises, as applicable containing the same terms and conditions as the Leases, except that the term and any extension thereof shall be the unexpired term and unexpired renewal term or terms of the Leases as of the date of execution and delivery of said new lease;

(k)

the Lessors failure to issue or deliver notice to the Lessee of the Lessors receipt of notice of foreclosure with respect to the Demised Property shall not serve to impair, deny or limit the rights of the Lender as the secured party under the Security Instruments;

(l)

except as expressly set forth in the Leases, Lessee has no right or option to purchase any portion of the Demised Property or any interest therein, and to the extent that Lessee has acquired or hereafter acquires any such right or option, the same is hereby subordinated to the Security Instruments;

(m)

the Lender shall have no responsibility, liability or obligation to cure any defaults by the Lessor under the Leases, nor be subject to claims, defenses or offsets under the Leases or against the Lessor possessed by the Lessee and which arose or existed prior to actual foreclosure of the Security Instruments or entry under and taking possession of the Demised Property by the Lender.  If the Lender forecloses the Security Instruments and enters upon and takes actual possession of the Demised Property, the Lender shall do so free and clear of all such prior defaults, claims, or offsets and shall not be liable or responsible to the Lessee for any act or omission of any prior Lessor (including the Lessor), or subject to any claims, defenses or offsets which the Lessee might have against any prior Lessor (including the Lessor); and

(n)

the institution of any action or other proceedings by the Lender under the Security Instruments in order to realize upon the Lessors interest in the Demised Property shall not, by operation of law or otherwise, result in the cancellation or termination of the Leases or the Lessees obligations thereunder.

2.

The Lender hereby agrees:

(a)

so long as the Lessee is not in default (beyond all applicable periods given the Lessee under the Leases to cure such default) and shall pay the rents and additional rents thereunder, and shall fully comply with and perform all the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of the Leases on the part of the Lessee thereunder to be complied with and performed, (i) the Lessees possession and occupancy of the Demised Premises and the Lessees rights and privileges under the Leases, or any extension or renewal thereof which may be effected in accordance with the terms of the Leases, shall not be disturbed by the Lender or any successor-in-interest to the Lender; (ii) the Lender shall not join the Lessee as party to any action or proceeding brought as a result of a default under the Security Instruments for the purposes of terminating the Lessees interest and estate under the Leases, subject to paragraph 1(j) above and subject further to the conditions that neither the Lender nor any other purchaser at foreclosure shall be (1) bound by any rent or other payment which the Lessee might have paid more than 30 days in advance of the time stipulated for payment under the Leases, (2) bound by any amendment or modification of the Leases made without its written consent, (3) liable for any act, omission, misrepresentation or default of the Lessor which is not continuing, or of any prior Lessor arising out of facts and circumstances existing before the Lenders or other foreclosure purchasers succession to the interest of the Lessor under the Leases, (4) subject to any offsets or defenses which the Lessee might have against the Lessor arising out of facts and circumstances existing before the Lenders or other foreclosure purchasers succession to the interest of the Lessor under the Leases; (5) obligated to perform any construction obligations of Lessor, or (6) liable for the return of any security deposit to the extent it has not been received by the Lender or other foreclosure purchaser; and

(b)

in the event that the interest of the Lessor shall vest in the Lender by reason of foreclosure or any other procedures brought by it, or in any other manner, the Lender and its successors-in-interest agree to be bound by all of the undischarged obligations of Lessor under the Lease occurring after such foreclosure or other action.

3.

The Lessee hereby represents and warrants that:

(a)

each of the Leases is in full force and effect;

(b)

neither the Lessor nor the Lessee is in default in the performance of or compliance with any provision of the Leases;

(c)

the Lessee has not received any notice of default or termination of any Lease;

(d)

each Lease is a complete statement of the agreement of the parties thereto with respect to the leasing of the applicable Demised Premises; and

(e)

the Lessee has accepted possession of the Demised Premises and is the sole owner of the leasehold estates created by the Leases.

4.

The Lessor authorizes and directs the Lessee to honor any written demand or notice from the Lender instructing the Lessee to pay rent or other sums to the Lender rather than the Lessor (a Payment Demand), regardless of any other or contrary notice or instruction which the Lessee may receive from the Lessor before or after the Lessees receipt of such Payment Demand.  The Lessee may rely upon any notice, instruction, payment demand, certificate, consent or other document from the Lender believed by the Lessee to be genuine and signed by the Lender and shall have no duty to the Lessor to investigate the same or the circumstances under which the same was given.  Lessor agrees that any payment made by the Lessee to the Lender in response to a demand for payment hereunder shall be deemed proper payment by the Lessee of such sum pursuant to the Lease.

5.

Any notice, demand or consent hereunder shall be in writing and may be given or mailed by mailing the same by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid or by hand-delivery or overnight courier, upon delivery, and, if intended for the Lender, addressed to the Lender at _________________________________, and if intended for the Lessee, addressed to the Lessee ____________________________________, and if intended for the Lessor, addressed to _______________________________________.  Any party may designate a new address by notice in writing to the other parties.  Any notice given in accordance herewith shall be effective if mailed two business days after deposit in the United States Post Office in accordance herewith.

6.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto.  The term Lender shall include the respective holders from time to time for the Security Instruments (as now or hereafter constituted) and terms Lessor and Lessee shall include the holder from time to time of the lessor interest, and the holder from time to time of the lessee interest, respectively, in the Lease.

7.

Any claim by Lessee against Lender under the Leases or this Agreement shall be satisfied solely out of the interest of the Lender in the Demised Property and Lessee shall not seek recovery against or out of any other assets of Lender.

8.

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed under the laws of the State of Wisconsin.

9.

If any term or provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, all other terms and provisions hereof shall nevertheless remain effective and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

10.

To facilitate execution, this Agreement may be executed in as many counterparts as may be convenient or required.  It shall not be necessary that the signature and acknowledgment of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signature and acknowledgment of all persons required to bind any party, appear on each counterpart.  All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single instrument.  It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than a single counterpart containing the respective signatures and acknowledgment of, or on behalf of, each of the parties hereto.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused the execution hereof as a sealed instrument as of the day and year first above written.

Lessee shall have 60 days from receipt of such notice to notify Parent in writing of its election to purchase the Controlling Interest on the same terms and conditions as the proposed Transfer (the Right of First Refusal); provided, however, that if Lessee fails to notify Parent, with a copy to Member and Lessor, of its election to exercise the Right of First Refusal within such 60-day period, Lessee shall be deemed to have waived the Right of First Refusal with respect to the sale of such Controlling Interest.  If Lessee notifies Parent of its election to exercise its Right of First Refusal within such 60-day period, then within 30 days of delivery of such notice to Parent, the Parties shall meet to negotiate the terms and conditions of the transfer documents by which Parent shall transfer the Controlling Interest to Lessee; provided, that the terms and conditions of the transfer documents shall be no less favorable to Parent than the terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer of the Controlling Interest by Parent to the Acceptable Assignee.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon Lessees exercise of its Right of First Refusal, the Facility Lease and each Lease Document that is in effect shall continue in full force and effect unless agreed otherwise by the Parties.
