Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.03, any insurance which Lessee is required to obtain pursuant to this Section 6.03 may be carried under a “blanket” policy or policies covering other properties or liabilities of Lessee provided that such “blanket” policy or policies otherwise comply with the provisions of this Section 6.03.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and with respect to each Event of Default, in addition to any other remedies, Lessor may require Lessee to pay to Lessor on the first day of each month the amount that Lessor reasonably estimates will be necessary in order to accumulate with Lessor sufficient funds in an impound account (which shall not be deemed a trust fund) (the “Reserve”) for Lessor to pay any and all real estate taxes (“Real Estate Taxes”) for the Properties for the ensuing twelve (12) months, or, if due sooner, Lessee shall pay the required amount immediately upon Lessor’s demand therefor.  Lessor shall, upon prior written request of Lessee, provide Lessee with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lessee that payment of the Real Estate Taxes was made in a timely fashion.  In the event that the Reserve does not contain sufficient funds to timely pay any Real Estate Taxes, upon Lessor’s written notification thereof, Lessee shall, within five (5) Business Days of such notice, provide funds to Lessor in the amount of such deficiency.  Lessor shall pay or cause to be paid directly to the applicable taxing authorities any Real Estate Taxes then due and payable for which there are funds in the Reserve; provided, however, that in no event shall Lessor be obligated to pay any Real Estate Taxes in excess of the funds held in the Reserve, and Lessee shall remain liable for any and all Real Estate Taxes, including fines, penalties, interest or additional costs imposed by any taxing authority (unless incurred as a result of Lessor’s failure to timely pay Real Estate Taxes for which it had funds in the Reserve).  Lessee shall cooperate fully with Lessor in assuring that the Real Estate Taxes are timely paid.  Lessor may deposit all Reserve funds in accounts insured by any federal or state agency and may commingle such funds with other funds and accounts of Lessor.  Interest or other gains from such funds, if any, shall be the sole property of Lessor. Upon an Event of Default, in addition to any other remedies, Lessor may apply all impounded funds in the Reserve against any sums due from Lessee to Lessor.  Lessor shall give to Lessee an annual accounting showing all credits and debits to and from such impounded funds received from Lessee.

Upon completion of any alterations individually costing more than $250,000, Lessee shall promptly provide Lessor with evidence of full payment to all laborers and materialmen contributing to the alterations.  Additionally, upon completion of any alterations, Lessee shall promptly provide Lessor with (a) an architect’s certificate certifying the alterations to have been completed in conformity with the plans and specifications (if the alterations are of such a nature as would require the issuance of such a certificate from the architect); (b) a certificate of occupancy (if the alterations are of such a nature as would require the issuance of a certificate of occupancy); and (c) any related documents or information reasonably requested by Lessor.  Lessee shall keep the Properties free from any liens arising out of any work performed on, or materials furnished to, the Properties.  Lessee shall execute and file or record, as appropriate, a “Notice of Non‐Responsibility,” or any equivalent notice permitted under applicable Law in the states where the Properties are located which provides that Lessor is not responsible for the payment of any costs or expenses relating to the additions or alterations.  Any addition to or alteration of the Properties shall be deemed a part of the Properties and belong to Lessor, and Lessee shall execute and deliver to Lessor such instruments as Lessor may require to evidence the ownership by Lessor of such addition or alteration.  Lessor and Lessee acknowledge and agree that their relationship is and shall be solely that of “Lessor-Lessee” (thereby excluding a relationship of “owner-contractor,” “owner-agent” or other similar relationships).  Accordingly, all materialmen, contractors, artisans, mechanics, laborers and any other persons now or hereafter contracting with Lessee, any contractor or subcontractor of Lessee or any other Lessee party for the furnishing of any labor, services, materials, supplies or equipment with respect to any portion of the Properties at any time from the date hereof until the end of the Lease Term, are hereby charged with notice that they look exclusively to Lessee to obtain payment for same.

Section 11.01.     Notification.  Lessee shall promptly give Lessor written notice of (a) any Condemnation of any of the Properties, (b) the commencement of any proceedings or negotiations which might result in a Condemnation of any of the Properties, and (c) any Casualty to any of the Properties or any part thereof.  Such notice shall provide a general description of the nature and extent of such Condemnation, proceedings, negotiations or Casualty, and shall include copies of any documents or notices received in connection therewith. Thereafter, Lessee shall promptly send Lessor copies of all notices, correspondence and pleadings relating to any such Condemnation, proceedings, negotiations or Casualty.
Section 11.02.     Total Condemnation.  In the event of a Condemnation of all or substantially all of any of the Properties, and if as a result of such Condemnation: (i) access to the Property to and from the publicly dedicated roads adjacent to the Property as of the Effective Date is permanently and materially impaired such that Lessee no longer has access to such dedicated road; (ii) there is insufficient parking to operate the Property as a Permitted Facility under applicable Laws; or (iii) the Condemnation includes a portion of the building such that the remaining portion is unsuitable for use as a Permitted Facility, as determined by Lessee in the exercise of good faith business judgment (and Lessee provides to Lessor an officer’s certificate executed by an officer of Lessee certifying to the same) (each such event, a “Total Condemnation”), then, in such event:
(a)    Termination of Lease.  On the date of the Total Condemnation, all obligations of either party hereunder with respect to the applicable Property shall cease and the Base Annual Rental shall be reduced as set forth in Section 11.03(c) below; provided, however, that Lessee’s obligations to the Indemnified Parties under any indemnification provisions of this Lease with respect to such Property and Lessee’s obligation to pay Rental and all other Monetary

Obligations (whether payable to Lessor or a third party) accruing under this Lease with respect to such Property prior to the date of termination shall survive such termination.  If the date of such Total Condemnation is other than the first day of a month, the Base Monthly Rental for the month in which such Total Condemnation occurs shall be apportioned based on the date of the Total Condemnation.
(b)    Net Award.  Subject to Section 11.07 below, Lessor shall be entitled to receive the entire Net Award in connection with a Total Condemnation without deduction for any estate vested in Lessee by this Lease, and Lessee hereby expressly assigns to Lessor all of its right, title and interest in and to every such Net Award and agrees that Lessee shall not be entitled to any Net Award or other payment for the value of Lessee’s leasehold interest in this Lease.
Section 11.03.     Partial Condemnation or Casualty.  In the event of a Condemnation which is not a Total Condemnation (each such event, a “Partial Condemnation”), or in the event of a Casualty:
(a)    Net Awards.  All Net Awards shall be paid to Lessor.
(b)    Continuance of Lease. This Lease shall continue in full force and effect upon the following terms:
(i)    All Rental and other Monetary Obligations due under this Lease shall continue unabated.
(ii)    Lessee shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute restoration of such Property to the same condition, as nearly as practicable, as prior to such Partial Condemnation or Casualty as approved by Lessor.  Subject to the terms and provisions of the Mortgages and upon the written request of Lessee (accompanied by evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lessor that such amount has been paid or is due and payable and is properly part of such costs, and that Lessee has complied with the terms of Section 7.02 in connection with the restoration), Lessor shall promptly make available in installments, subject to reasonable conditions for disbursement imposed by Lessor, an amount up to but not exceeding the amount of any Net Award received by Lessor with respect to such Partial Condemnation or Casualty.  Prior to the disbursement of any portion of the Net Award with respect to a Casualty, Lessee shall provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lessor of the payment of restoration expenses by Lessee up to the amount of the insurance deductible applicable to such Casualty.  Lessor shall be entitled to keep any portion of the Net Award which may be in excess of the cost of restoration, and Lessee shall bear all additional Costs of such restoration in excess of the Net Award.
(c)    Right to Termination. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary contained in this Article XI, in the event that, as a result of a Casualty in the last year of the Lease Term, Lessee shall reasonably estimate in the exercise of good faith business judgment that the applicable Property cannot be used for the same purpose and substantially with the same utility as before such Casualty (and Lessee provides to Lessor an officer's certificate executed by an officer of Lessee certifying to the same), then, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this subsection (c), Lessee shall have the right, exercisable by written notice given to Lessor no later than thirty (30) days following such Casualty, to terminate this Lease with respect to such damaged Property (and in connection with such termination, the Base Annual Rental shall be reduced as

set forth in Section 11.03() below). If Lessee elects to terminate, this Lease shall terminate with respect to such Property as of the last day of the month during which such thirty (30) day period expired. Lessee shall vacate and surrender such Property by such termination date, in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, and ail obligations of either party hereunder with respect to such Property shall cease as of the date of termination; provided, however, Lessee's obligations to the Indemnified Parties under any indemnification provisions of this Lease with respect to such Property and Lessee's obligations to pay Rental and all other Monetary Obligations (whether payable to Lessor or a third party) accruing under this Lease with respect to such Property prior to the date of termination shall survive such termination subject to, and in accordance with, the terms hereof. In such event, Lessor may retain all Net Awards related to the Casualty, and Lessee shall immediately pay Lessor an amount equal to the insurance deductible applicable to any Casualty.
(d)    Rental.  Upon removal of a Property pursuant to Section 11.02 or Section 11.03, the Base Annual Rental shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Lease Rate multiplied by the Net Award.
Section 11.04.     Temporary Taking.  In the event of a Condemnation of all or any part of any Property for a temporary use (a “Temporary Taking”), this Lease shall remain in full force and effect without any reduction of Base Annual Rental, Additional Rental or any other Monetary Obligation payable hereunder.  Except as provided below, Lessee shall be entitled to the entire Net Award for a Temporary Taking, unless the period of occupation and use by the condemning authorities shall extend beyond the date of expiration of this Lease, in which event the Net Award made for such Temporary Taking shall be apportioned between Lessor and Lessee as of the date of such expiration.  At the termination of any such Temporary Taking, Lessee will, at its own cost and expense and pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.02, promptly commence and complete restoration of such Property.
Section 11.05.     Adjustment of Losses.  Any loss under any property damage insurance required to be maintained by Lessee shall be adjusted by Lessor and Lessee.  Any Net Award relating to a Total Condemnation or a Partial Condemnation shall be adjusted by Lessor or, at Lessor’s election, Lessee.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions of this Section 11.05 to the contrary, if at the time of any Condemnation or any Casualty or at any time thereafter an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessor is hereby authorized and empowered but shall not be obligated, in the name and on behalf of Lessee and otherwise, to file and prosecute Lessee’s claim, if any, for a Net Award on account of such Condemnation or such Casualty and to collect such Net Award and apply the same to the curing of such Event of Default and any other then existing Event of Default under this Lease and/or to the payment of any amounts owed by Lessee to Lessor under this Lease, in such order, priority and proportions as Lessor in its discretion shall deem proper.
Section 11.06.     Lessee Obligation in Event of Casualty.

by Lessee, any insurance proceeds with respect to any personal property owned by Lessee, the interruption of its business and moving expenses (subject, however, to the provisions of Section 6.03(a)(iv) above), but only if such claim or award does not adversely affect or interfere with the prosecution of Lessor’s claim for the Condemnation or Casualty, or otherwise reduce the amount recoverable by Lessor for the Condemnation or Casualty.
ARTICLE XII     
 
DEFAULT, CONDITIONAL LIMITATIONS, 
REMEDIES AND MEASURE OF DAMAGES
Section 12.01.     Event of Default.  Each of the following shall be an event of default by Lessee under this Lease (each, an “Event of Default”):
(a)    if any representation or warranty of Lessee set forth in this Lease is false in any material respect when made, or if Lessee renders any materially false statement or account when made;
(b)    if any Rental or other Monetary Obligation due under this Lease is not paid when due if such failure continues for more than three (3) Business Days after written notice from Lessor; provided, however, Lessor shall only be required to provide such notice twice in any twelve (12) month period; provided, however, any delay in the payment of Rental as a result of a technical error in the wiring and/or automated clearinghouse process shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder so long as the same is corrected within one (1) Business Day of the date Lessee receives notice thereof;
(c)    if Lessee fails to pay, prior to delinquency, any taxes, assessments or other charges the failure of which to pay will result in the imposition of a lien against any of the Properties;
(d)    if Lessee vacates or abandons any Property;
(e)    if there is an Insolvency Event affecting Lessee;
(f)    if Lessee fails to observe or perform any of the other covenants, conditions or obligations of Lessee in this Lease; provided, however, if any such failure does not involve the payment of any Monetary Obligation, is not willful or intentional, does not place any Property or any rights or property of Lessor in immediate jeopardy, and is within the reasonable power of Lessee to promptly cure, all as determined by Lessor in its reasonable discretion, then such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, unless and until Lessor shall have given Lessee notice thereof and a period of thirty (30) days shall have elapsed, during which period Lessee may correct or cure such failure, upon failure of which an Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred hereunder without further notice or demand of any kind being required.  If such failure cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, as determined by Lessor in its reasonable discretion, and Lessee is diligently pursuing a cure of such failure, then Lessee shall have a reasonable period to cure such failure beyond such thirty (30)‐day period, which shall in no event exceed ninety (90) days after receiving notice of such failure from Lessor.  If Lessee shall fail to correct or cure such failure within such ninety (90)‐day

period, an Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred hereunder without further notice or demand of any kind being required;
(g)    if a final, nonappealable judgment is rendered by a court against Lessee which has a Material Adverse Effect, and is not discharged or provision made for such discharge within ninety (90) days from the date of entry thereof;
(h)    if Lessee shall be liquidated or dissolved or shall begin proceedings towards its liquidation or dissolution; 
(i)    if the estate or interest of Lessee in any of the Properties shall be levied upon or attached in any proceeding and such estate or interest is about to be sold or transferred or such process shall not be vacated or discharged within ninety (90) days after it is made; or
(j)    if there is an “Event of Default” or other breach or default by Lessee under any of the other Transaction Documents or any Other Agreement , after the passage of all applicable notice and cure or grace periods; provided, however, in the event that this Lease has been the subject of a Securitization and any Other Agreement has not been the subject of the same Securitization or any series relating to such Securitization, an “Event of Default” under such Other Agreement shall not constitute an Event of Default under this Lease.
Section 12.02.     Remedies.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, with or without notice or demand, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or such other notice as may be required by statute and cannot be waived by Lessee, Lessor shall be entitled to exercise, at its option, concurrently, successively, or in any combination, all remedies available at Law or in equity, including, without limitation, any one or more of the following:
(a)    to terminate this Lease, whereupon Lessee’s right to possession of the Properties shall cease and this Lease, except as to Lessee’s liability, shall be terminated;
(b)    to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, to (i) re-enter and take possession of the Properties (or any part thereof), any or all personal property or fixtures of Lessee upon the Properties and, to the extent permissible, permits and other rights or privileges of Lessee pertaining to the use and operation of the Properties, and (ii) expel Lessee and those claiming under or through Lessee, without being deemed guilty in any manner of trespass or becoming liable for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, without resort to legal or judicial process, procedure or action.  No notice from Lessor hereunder or under a forcible entry and detainer statute or similar Law shall constitute an election by Lessor to terminate this Lease unless such notice specifically so states.  If Lessee shall, after default, voluntarily give up possession of the Properties to Lessor, deliver to Lessor or its agents the keys to the Properties, or both, such actions shall be deemed to be in compliance with Lessor’s rights and the acceptance thereof by Lessor or its agents shall not be deemed to constitute a termination of the Lease.  Lessor reserves the right following any re‐entry and/or reletting to exercise its right to terminate this Lease by giving Lessee written notice thereof, in which event this Lease will terminate;
(c)    to relet the Properties or any part thereof for such term or terms (including a term which extends beyond the original Lease Term), at such rentals and upon such other terms as Lessor, in its sole discretion, may determine, with all proceeds received from such reletting

being applied to the Rental and other Monetary Obligations due from Lessee in such order as Lessor may, in its sole discretion, determine, which other Monetary Obligations include, without limitation, all reasonable and actual repossession costs, brokerage commissions, attorneys’ fees and expenses,  alteration, remodeling and repair costs and expenses of preparing for such reletting.  Except to the extent required by applicable Law, Lessor shall have no obligation to relet the Properties or any part thereof and shall in no event be liable for refusal or failure to relet the Properties or any part thereof, or, in the event of any such reletting, for refusal or failure to collect any rent due upon such reletting, and no such refusal or failure shall operate to relieve Lessee of any liability under this Lease or otherwise to affect any such liability.  Lessor reserves the right following any re‐entry and/or reletting to exercise its right to terminate this Lease by giving Lessee written notice thereof, in which event this Lease will terminate as specified in said notice;
(d)    to recover from Lessee all Costs paid or incurred by Lessor as a result of such breach, regardless of whether or not legal proceedings are actually commenced;
(e)    to immediately or at any time thereafter, and with or without notice, at Lessor’s sole option but without any obligation to do so, correct such breach or default and charge Lessee all Costs incurred by Lessor therein.  Any sum or sums so paid by Lessor, together with interest at the Default Rate, shall be deemed to be Additional Rental hereunder and shall be immediately due from Lessee to Lessor.  Any such acts by Lessor in correcting Lessee’s breaches or defaults hereunder shall not be deemed to cure said breaches or defaults or constitute any waiver of Lessor’s right to exercise any or all remedies set forth herein;
(f)    to immediately or at any time thereafter, and with or without notice, except as required herein, set off any money of Lessee held by Lessor under this Lease or any other Transaction Document or any Other Agreement against any sum owing by Lessee hereunder;
(g)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or limiting in any way the rights of Lessor under this Lease or otherwise under applicable Laws, at any time after the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default, Lessor shall be entitled to apply for and seek the appointment of a receiver under and subject to applicable Law by a court of competent jurisdiction (by ex parte motion for appointment without notice) in any action taken by Lessor to enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in order to protect and preserve Lessor’s interest under this Lease or in the Properties and the Personalty; and/or
(h)    to seek any equitable relief available to Lessor, including, without limitation, the right of specific performance.
Section 12.03.     Cumulative Remedies.  All powers and remedies given by Section 12.02 to Lessor, subject to applicable Law, shall be cumulative and not exclusive of one another or of any other right or remedy or of any other powers and remedies available to Lessor under this Lease, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements of Lessee contained in this Lease, and no delay or omission of Lessor to exercise any right or power accruing upon the occurrence of any Event of Default shall impair any other or subsequent Event of Default or impair any rights or remedies consequent thereto.  Every power and remedy given by this Section or by Law to Lessor may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by Lessor, subject at all times to Lessor’s right

in its sole judgment to discontinue any work commenced by Lessor or change any course of action undertaken by Lessor.
Section 12.04.     Lessee Waiver.  Lessee hereby expressly waives, for itself and all Persons claiming by, through and under Lessee, including creditors of all kinds, (a) any right and privilege which Lessee has under any present or future Legal Requirements to redeem the  Properties or to have a continuance of this Lease for the Lease Term after termination of Lessee’s right of occupancy by order or judgment of any court or by any legal process or writ, or under the terms of this Lease; (b) the benefits of any present or future Legal Requirement that exempts property from liability for debt or for distress for rent; (c) any present or future Legal Requirement relating to notice or delay in levy of execution in case of eviction of a tenant for nonpayment of rent; and (d) any benefits and lien rights which may arise pursuant to any present or future Legal Requirement.
ARTICLE XIII     
 
MORTGAGE, SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT
Section 13.01.     No Liens.  Lessor’s interest in this Lease and/or the Properties shall not be subordinate to any liens or encumbrances placed upon the Properties by or resulting from any act of Lessee, and nothing herein contained shall be construed to require such subordination by Lessor.  NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT LESSEE IS NOT AUTHORIZED TO PLACE OR ALLOW TO BE PLACED ANY LIEN, MORTGAGE, DEED OF TRUST, DEED TO SECURE DEBT, SECURITY INTEREST OR ENCUMBRANCE OF ANY KIND UPON ALL OR ANY PART OF THE PROPERTIES OR LESSEE’S LEASEHOLD INTEREST THEREIN, AND ANY SUCH PURPORTED TRANSACTION SHALL BE VOID.
Section 13.02.     Subordination.  This Lease at all times shall automatically be subordinate to the lien of any and all ground leases and Mortgages now or hereafter placed upon any of the Properties by Lessor, and Lessee covenants and agrees to execute and deliver, upon demand, such further instruments subordinating this Lease to the lien of any or all such ground leases and Mortgages as shall be desired by Lessor, or any present or proposed mortgagees under trust deeds, upon the condition that Lessee shall have the right to remain in possession of the Properties under the terms of this Lease, notwithstanding any default in any or all such ground leases or Mortgages, or after the foreclosure of any such Mortgages, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.  
Section 13.03.     Attornment.  In the event any purchaser or assignee of any Lender at a foreclosure sale acquires title to any of the  Properties, or in the event that any Lender or any purchaser or assignee otherwise succeeds to the rights of Lessor as landlord under this Lease, Lessee shall attorn to Lender or such purchaser or assignee, as the case may be (a “Successor Lessor”), and recognize the Successor Lessor as lessor under this Lease as long as Successor Lessor recognizes Lessee’s rights hereunder and does not disturb Lessee, and, subject to the provisions of this Article XIII, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between the Successor Lessor and Lessee, provided that the Successor Lessor shall only be liable for any obligations of Lessor under this Lease which accrue after the date that such Successor Lessor acquires title.  The foregoing provision shall be self‐operative and effective without the execution of any further instruments.

Section 13.04.     Execution of Additional Documents.  Although the provisions in this Article XIII shall be self‐operative and no future instrument of subordination shall be required, upon request by Lessor, Lessee shall execute and deliver such additional reasonable instruments as may be reasonably required for such purposes.
Section 13.05.     Notice to Lender.  Lessee shall give written notice to any Lender having a recorded lien upon any of the Properties or any part thereof of which Lessee has been notified of any breach or default by Lessor of any of its obligations under this Lease and give such Lender at least sixty (60) days beyond any notice period to which Lessor might be entitled to cure such default before Lessee may exercise any remedy with respect thereto.
ARTICLE XIV     
 
ASSIGNMENT
Section 14.01.     Assignment by Lessor.  As a material inducement to Lessor’s willingness to enter into the transactions contemplated by this Lease (the “Transaction”) and the other Transaction Documents, Lessee hereby agrees that Lessor may, from time to time and at any time and without the consent of Lessee, engage in all or any combination of the following, or enter into agreements in connection with any of the following or in accordance with requirements that may be imposed by applicable securities, tax or other Laws: (a) the sale, assignment, grant, conveyance, transfer, financing, re‐financing, purchase or re‐acquisition of all, less than all or any portion of the Properties, this Lease or any other Transaction Document, Lessor’s right, title and interest in this Lease or any other Transaction Document, the servicing rights with respect to any of the foregoing, or participations in any of the foregoing; or (b) a Securitization and related transactions.  Without in any way limiting the foregoing, the parties acknowledge and agree that Lessor, in its sole discretion, may assign this Lease or any interest herein to another Person in order to maintain Lessor’s or any of its Affiliates’ status as a REIT.  In the event of any such sale or assignment other than a security assignment, Lessee shall attorn to such purchaser or assignee (so long as Lessor and such purchaser or assignee notify Lessee in writing of such transfer and such purchaser or assignee expressly assumes in writing the obligations of Lessor hereunder from and after the date of such assignment).  At the request of Lessor, Lessee will execute such documents confirming the sale, assignment or other transfer and such other agreements as Lessor may reasonably request, provided that the same do not increase the liabilities and obligations of Lessee hereunder and include Successor Lessor’s express assumption of all Lessor’s obligations hereunder.  Lessor shall be relieved, from and after the date of such transfer or conveyance, of liability for the performance of any obligation of Lessor contained herein, except for obligations or liabilities accrued prior to such assignment or sale.
Section 14.02.     No Assignment by Lessee.  
(a)    Lessee acknowledges that Lessor has relied both on the business experience and creditworthiness of Lessee and upon the particular purposes for which Lessee intends to use the Properties in entering into this Lease.  Subject to Section 14.02(b), Lessee shall not assign, transfer, convey, pledge or mortgage this Lease or any interest herein or any interest in Lessee, whether by operation of Law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Lessor, which may not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld.  At the time of any assignment of this Lease which is approved by Lessor, the assignee shall assume all of the obligations of

Lessee under this Lease pursuant to a written assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lessor.  Such assignment of this Lease pursuant to this Section 14.02 shall not relieve Lessee of its obligations respecting this Lease unless otherwise agreed to by Lessor, which shall not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld.  Any assignment, transfer, conveyance, pledge or mortgage in violation of this Section 14.02 shall be voidable at the sole option of Lessor.  Any consent to an assignment given by Lessor hereunder shall not be deemed a consent to any subsequent assignment.  Lessor shall review and provide approval or reasons for withholding approval of an assignment within fifteen (15) days of Lessee’s request for approval.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 14.02(a) above and provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and provided further that any assignee agrees to assume all of Lessee's obligations under this Lease and reaffirms all the representations and warranties contained herein, a Lessee entity shall have the right to assign or otherwise transfer its interest in, to and under this Lease without Lessor's consent to (i) an Affiliate of Lessee , or (ii) any entity which purchases or otherwise acquires all or substantially all of the assets or equity interest of such Lessee entity in a bona fide sale for fair market value.  In no event shall Lessee shall be released from liability under this Lease without the prior written consent of Lessor.
Section 14.03.     No Sale of Assets.  Without the prior written consent of Lessor, Lessee shall not sell all or substantially all of Lessee’s assets such that Lessee can no longer operate its business at the Properties, except in connection with an assumption of this Lease pursuant to Section 14.02(b) above.  Any sale of Lessee’s assets in violation of this Section 14.03, shall be voidable at the sole option of Lessor.  Any consent to a sale of Lessee’s assets given by Lessor hereunder shall not be deemed a consent to any subsequent sale of Lessee’s assets.
Section 14.04.     Subletting.  Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessee shall have the right to sublease any or all of the Properties; provided, however, (i) the term of any such sublease shall not extend beyond the Lease Term; (ii) the sublease shall be for no use other than a Permitted Facility; (iii) the sublease shall be subject and subordinate to this Lease and shall not contain any terms inconsistent with this Lease; (iv) Lessee shall at all times remain fully and primarily liable under this Lease; (v) the rent due under such sublease shall be fixed rent and shall not be based on the net profits of the sublessee; and (vI) the sublease is approved by Lessor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (each, a “Sublease”).  As security for the payment and performance by Lessee of its obligations under this Lease, Lessee hereby assigns, transfers, sets over and grants to Lessor, a security interest in any and all of Lessee’s right, title and interest, powers, privileges and other benefits as landlord under the Subleases, including, without limitation: (i) rent and proceeds thereof; (ii) the right to enter upon, take possession of and use any and all property subleased or granted by Lessee under the Subleases; (iii) the right to make all waivers and agreements, to give all notices, consents and releases, to take all action upon the happening of any default giving rise to a right in favor of Lessee under the Subleases; and (iv) the right to do any and all other things whatsoever which Lessee is or may become entitled to do under the Subleases.  Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, Lessee agrees that, at the option of Lessor and in addition to such other rights and remedies as may be afforded to Lessor under this Lease, Lessor shall have the right, without giving notice to or obtaining the consent of Lessee, to

exercise, enforce or avail itself of any of the rights, powers, privileges, authorizations or benefits assigned and transferred to Lessor pursuant to this Section 14.04, including, without limitation, the right to collect all amounts due under the Subleases.  From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lessee does hereby irrevocably appoint Lessor as Lessee’s true and lawful attorney, with full power (in the name of Lessee or otherwise) to ask, require, demand, receive and give acquittance for every payment under or arising out of the Subleases to which Lessee is or may become entitled.  Lessee declares that this appointment is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable by Lessee.  Lessee further agrees to execute any and all other instruments deemed reasonably necessary by Lessor to further the intent of the foregoing assignment and to vest Lessor in the Subleases.  Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Section 14.04, (i) Lessor shall not be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under the Subleases by reason of the foregoing assignment; and (ii) Lessor shall not be liable or responsible for, and Lessee agrees to indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from and against any liability, loss, cost or damage, claim or demand against Lessor arising, directly or indirectly, from or related to the Subleases.

ARTICLE XVI    
RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
Section 16.01.     Offer.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Article XVI, if Lessor desires to sell any Property and receives a bona fide written offer from a third party which offer is in all respects acceptable to Lessor, Lessor shall deliver a complete copy of such bona fide third party offer to Lessee (“Third Party Offer”).  Within fifteen (15) days of Lessee’s receipt of such Third Party Offer from Lessor, and a written statement of Lessor’s desire to sell the Property in accordance with such Third Party Offer, Lessee shall have the right to deliver an offer to Lessor (“Purchase Offer”) to purchase Lessor’s interest in any such Property for the amount of the bona fide third party offer to purchase such Property (the “Subject Purchase Price”).  Lessee shall complete such purchase, subject to the satisfaction of each of the terms and conditions set forth in Section 16.02 below.    
Section 16.02.     Conditions Precedent.
(a)    The purchase of Lessor’s interest in a Property pursuant to Section 16.01 shall be subject to the fulfillment of all of the following terms and conditions: (1) no monetary Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Lease or other Transaction Documents; (2) Lessee shall have paid to Lessor the Subject Purchase Price, together with all Rental and other

Monetary Obligations then due and payable under this Lease as of the date of the closing of such purchase; (3) in addition to payment of the Subject Purchase Price, Lessee shall have satisfied its obligations under Section 16.03 below; and (4) the date of the closing of such purchase shall occur on the next scheduled Base Monthly Rental payment date that is at least thirty (30) days following Lessor’s receipt of Lessee’s written notice of its exercise of its right to purchase the Property pursuant to Section 16.01.
(b)    On the date of the closing of the purchase of a Property pursuant to this Section (the “Purchase Closing Date”), subject to satisfaction of the foregoing conditions: (1) this Lease shall be deemed terminated with respect to the Property and the Base Annual Rental shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Lease Rate multiplied by the Subject Purchase Price; provided, however, such termination shall not limit Lessee’s obligations to Lessor under any indemnification provisions of this Lease and Lessee’s obligations to pay any Monetary Obligations (whether payable to Lessor or a third party) accruing under this Lease with respect to such Property prior to the Purchase Closing Date shall survive the termination of this Lease; and (2) Lessor shall convey such Property to Lessee “as is” by special warranty deed, subject to all matters of record (except for any consensual liens granted by Lessor other than those granted by Lessor at the request of Lessee), and without representation or warranty.
Section 16.03.     Costs.  Lessee shall be solely responsible for the payment of all Costs resulting from any proposed purchase pursuant to this Article XVI, regardless of whether the purchase is consummated, including, without limitation, to the extent applicable, the cost of title insurance and endorsements, including, survey charges, stamp taxes, mortgage taxes, transfer taxes and fees, escrow and recording fees, taxes imposed on Lessor as a result of such purchase, the attorneys’ fees of Lessee and the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of counsel to Lessor.
Section 16.04.     Termination of Right.  NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, LESSEE’S RIGHTS UNDER THIS ARTICLE XVI SHALL TERMINATE AND BE NULL AND VOID AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE AND EFFECT IF (i) LESSEE FAILS TO EXERCISE THE RIGHT GRANTED PURSUANT TO THIS ARTICLE, AND THE SALE TO THE THIRD PARTY PURCHASER IS CONSUMMATED; (ii) THIS LEASE TERMINATES OR THE LEASE TERM EXPIRES; OR (iii) THE PROPERTY IS SOLD OR TRANSFERRED PURSUANT TO THE EXERCISE OF A PRIVATE POWER OF SALE OR JUDICIAL FORECLOSURE OR ACCEPTANCE OF A DEED IN LIEU THEREOF.  IN ANY SUCH EVENT, LESSEE SHALL EXECUTE A QUITCLAIM DEED AND SUCH OTHER DOCUMENTS AS LESSOR SHALL REASONABLY REQUEST EVIDENCING THE TERMINATION OF ITS RIGHT UNDER THIS ARTICLE XVI.
Section 16.05.     Attornment.  If Lessee does not deliver its Purchase Offer to purchase the Property and the Property is transferred to a third party purchaser, Lessee will attorn to any third party purchaser as Lessor so long as such third party purchaser and Lessor notify Lessee in writing of such transfer.  At the request of Lessor, Lessee will execute such documents confirming the agreement referred to above and such other agreements as Lessor may reasonably request, provided that such agreements do not increase the liabilities and obligations of Lessee hereunder.
Section 16.06.     Exclusions.  The provisions of this Article XVI shall not apply to or prohibit (i) any mortgages or other hypothecation of Lessor’s interest in the Property; (ii) any sale of the Property pursuant to a private power of sale under or judicial foreclosure of any mortgage

ARTICLE XVII

Section 17.01.     Option.  Lessee shall have a one-time option to give Lessor notice (an “Option Notice”) of Lessee’s election to purchase all or any portion of that area of the Munhall, PA Property that is not utilized in connection with the operation of the Permitted Facility at such Property (as generally depicted in Schedule 17.01 attached hereto, the “Purchase Option Area”) for a price equal to its Fair Market Value. The closing for any such purchase must occur within one hundred twenty (120) days following Lessor’s receipt of an Option Notice, but in no event shall closing occur later than the expiration of the Term. The closing of any purchase pursuant to this Article XVII shall be conditioned upon (i) no Event of Default continuing at the time of the applicable closing, (ii) no Material Adverse Effect on the remainder of such Property stemming from such purchase, including ingress and egress, and (iii) Lessee obtains all necessary approvals from Governmental Authorities to create a legal parcel that may be separately conveyed, as approved by Lessor in its reasonable discretion, which approvals shall be at the sole costs and expense of Lessee.  Lessor agrees, assents and covenants to assist in good faith, but at no cost or expense to Lessor, with Lessee’s obtaining of all necessary approvals from Government Authorities to create a legal parcel that may be separately conveyed.
Section 17.02.     Closing.  Upon any exercise of this Option, Lessor and Lessee shall open a new escrow account with a recognized title insurance company selected by Lessor. Such escrow shall be subject to the standard escrow instructions of the escrow agent, to the extent they are not inconsistent herewith. At or before the close of escrow, Lessor shall deliver to the escrow agent its special or limited warranty deed conveying to Lessee all of Lessor’s right, title and interest in the applicable portion of the Purchase Option Area free and clear of all liens and encumbrances except liens for taxes and assessments and easements, covenants and restrictions of record which were attached to the applicable portion of the Purchase Option Area as of the date hereof, attached during the term of the Lease through Lessee’s action or inaction, as the case may be, have been granted by Lessor in lieu of a taking by the power of eminent domain or the like, or have been approved by Lessee. Lessee shall have the right to accept such title as Lessor can convey or elect not to consummate its exercise of the Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor shall cause any mortgage or other monetary lien arising by, through or under Lessor (but not arising by, through or under Lessee or by failure of Lessee to comply with its obligations hereunder) to be released at or prior to closing. Both Lessor and Lessee agree to execute a purchase agreement, escrow instructions and such other instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to consummate the sale of the applicable portion of the Purchase Option Area in the manner and containing the terms herein provided. All Costs incurred in connection with Lessee’s exercise of the Option, including, but not limited to, escrow fees, title insurance fees, recording costs or fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees (including those of Lessor), costs of any approvals from Governmental Authorities, appraisal

fees, stamp taxes and transfer fees shall be borne by Lessee. Lessee shall continue to pay and perform all of its obligations under this Lease until the close of escrow. The purchase price paid by Lessee in exercising this Option shall be paid to Lessor or to such person or entity as Lessor may direct at closing in immediately available funds. The closing date may be extended for a reasonable period of time to permit Lessor to cure title defects or to permit either party to cure any other defects or defaults provided each party is diligently seeking to cure such defect or default and Lessee continues to perform its obligations hereunder. In the case of any mortgage or other monetary lien arising by, through or under Lessor (but not arising by, through or under Lessee), the escrow agent shall first apply the purchase price to the payment of such mortgage or monetary lien, and the balance shall be paid over to Lessor at closing. Upon closing, this Lease shall terminate with respect to the applicable portion of the Purchase Option Area acquired by Lessee and Base Annual Rental shall be reduced by the net proceeds received by Lessor multiplied by a capitalization rate of 8.60%.
Section 17.03.     Termination of Option.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Lessee’s rights under this Article XVII shall terminate and be null and void and of no further force and effect if this Lease terminates or upon Lessee’s purchase of the Purchase Option Area. In any such event, Lessee shall execute a quitclaim deed and/or such other documents as Lessor shall reasonably request evidencing the termination of Lessee’s right under this Article XVII.  Furthermore, in no event may Lessee exercise its rights in this Article XVII more than one time; provided, however, the Purchase Option Area may be comprised of multiple legal parcels.
Section 17.04.     No Assignment of Option.  Lessee may not sell, assign, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the Option granted herein or any interest therein, except in conjunction with a permitted assignment of Lessee’s entire interest herein and then only to the assignee thereof. Any attempted assignment of this Option which is contrary to the terms of this Article XVII shall be deemed to be an Event of Default under this Lease and the Option granted herein shall be void.  Lessee may designate one or more third parties to acquire title to the Purchase Option Area upon the closing under Section 17.02 above; provided, however, in no event may Lessee receive any funds, payment or fees in excess of the purchase price due to Lessor in connection with such designation.
Section 17.05.     No Prohibited Transaction.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the purchase option described in this Article XVII shall be conditioned upon Lessor making a reasonable determination that the sale of any portion of the Purchase Option Area would not cause Lessor to recognize income or gain from a “prohibited transaction” as defined under Section 857(b)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In the event that Lessor determines that the exercise of the purchase option would cause Lessor to recognize such income or gain in the calendar year in which the applicable Option Notice is delivered, Lessee shall continue to have all rights under this Article XVII and shall have the right to exercise the purchase option in the following calendar year and Lessor shall not have the right to delay closing any further. 
Section 17.06.     Fair Market Value.  For purposes of this Article XVII and determining the “Fair Market Value” of the applicable portion of the Purchase Option Area, Lessor shall, at Lessee’s sole expense, retain an independent MAI appraiser to prepare an appraisal of the Fair Market Value of the applicable portion of the Purchase Option Area, including any additions or renovations thereto. In determining the Fair Market Value of the applicable portion of the Purchase Option Area, the appraiser shall utilize the cost, income and sales comparison approaches to value.

The average amount which results from the calculation of each of the cost approach, the income approach and the sales comparison approach, all as determined in accordance with the provisions of this subsection, shall constitute the “Fair Market Value” of the Purchase Option Area for purposes of this subsection. If within five (5) days after being notified of the results of such appraisal, Lessee elects to reject that appraisal, then the first appraisal shall become null and void and Lessor shall nominate to Lessee a list of not less than three (3) independent MAI appraisers who are experienced with appraising properties similar to applicable portion of the Purchase Option Area, and Lessee shall select one appraiser. Within five (5) days of such selection, Lessor shall retain such appraiser, at Lessee’s sole expense, to prepare an appraisal of the applicable portion of the Purchase Option Area in the same manner described above and the results of such appraisal shall be the “Fair Market Value” of the applicable portion of the Purchase Option Area for purposes of such subsection.

Whenever in this Lease any words of obligation or duty are used, such words or expressions shall have the same force and effect as though made in the form of a covenant.
