Any such mortgage or pledge shall be subject and subordinate to the rights of Landlord hereunder and to the Landlords interest in the Leased Premises.

 

20.2                        Leasehold Mortgagee Qualifications.   No holder of a Leasehold Mortgage on this Lease shall have the rights or benefits mentioned in this Article 20, nor shall the provisions of this Article 20 be binding upon Landlord, unless and until each of the following terms, conditions and restrictions have been fully satisfied (and only upon all of the following terms, conditions and restrictions being fully satisfied shall the holder of a Leasehold Mortgage on this Lease be deemed a Leasehold Mortgagee):

 

(a)                                 Either the Leasehold Mortgagee or a Trustee thereof, or participant in the underlying loan secured by the Leasehold Mortgage must have and maintain a tangible net worth, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, of at least One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000.00);

 

(b)                                 The Leasehold Mortgage shall contain provisions requiring that copies of all notices of default under said Leasehold Mortgage must be simultaneously sent to Landlord;

 

(c)                                  Simultaneously with or promptly after the recording of the Leasehold Mortgage, Tenant shall, at its own expense, cause a copy of the Leasehold Mortgage to be delivered to Landlord and, if so requested by Landlord, shall cause to be recorded in the office of the recorder of the county or township (as applicable) where the Leased Premises is located, a written request executed and acknowledged by Landlord for a copy of all notices of default and all notices of sale under the Leasehold Mortgage as provided by applicable Laws.  Inclusion of a request for notice having the effect described above in the body of the recorded Leasehold Mortgage shall constitute compliance with this provision;

or to construct any improvements thereon, other than those uses and improvements provided for and authorized by and pursuant to the terms of this Lease;

 

(f)                                   The Leasehold Mortgage shall not contain terms which are inconsistent with the terms of this Lease and Tenant shall provide Landlord with a true and accurate copy of the documentation creating and evidencing the Leasehold Mortgage and the loan evidenced thereby promptly following execution of such documents by Tenant;

 

(g)                                  The Leasehold Mortgage shall secure a bona fide extension of credit to Tenant or an Affiliate of Tenant and shall not be for the purpose of avoiding or extending any obligations of or restrictions on Tenant under this Lease, including restrictions on transfer or periods for curing defaults; and

 

(h)                                 The Leasehold Mortgage shall provide that any proceeds from fire and other casualty insurance and extended coverage insurance shall be applied in accordance with the Lease.

 

20.3                        Defaults.   If Tenant, or Tenants successors or assigns, mortgage this Lease in compliance with the provisions of this Article 20, then so long as any such mortgage shall remain unsatisfied of record, the following provisions shall apply:

Landlord, upon serving any notice of default on Tenant pursuant to Article 24 or any other notice under the provisions of this Lease, shall also serve a copy of such notice upon Leasehold Mortgagee, at the address provided to Landlord in writing by Tenant and no notice shall be deemed to have been duly given as to the Leasehold Mortgagee unless and until a copy thereof has been so served upon the Leasehold Mortgagee.  Landlords furnishing a copy of such notice to Leasehold Mortgagee shall not in any way affect or become a condition precedent to the effectiveness of any notice given or served upon Tenant, provided, that Landlord may not terminate this Lease or exercise any remedies against Tenant without first giving Leasehold Mortgagee notice and opportunity to cure.  Any notice or other communication which Leasehold Mortgagee desires or is required to give to or serve upon Landlord shall be deemed to have been duly given or served if sent in accordance with Article 27.2.

(c)                                  For the purposes of this Article 20, no Event of Default shall be deemed to exist under Article 24 in respect of the performance of work required to be performed, or

 

F-33

 


 

 

of acts to be done, or of conditions to be remedied, if steps shall, in good faith, have been commenced by Leasehold Mortgagee within the time permitted therefor to rectify the same and shall be prosecuted to completion with diligence and continuity and within the time periods provided therefor in Article 24.

 

(d)                                 Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default other than an Event of Default which can be cured by the payment of money (the Monetary Default), Landlord shall take no action to effect a termination of this Lease without first giving Leasehold Mortgagee at least thirty (30) days written notice of its intent to terminate if Tenants default is of any type other than a Monetary Default (a Non-Monetary Default), and Leasehold Mortgagee fails to cure such Non-Monetary Default within said thirty (30) day period. If such Non-Monetary Default cannot reasonably be cured within said thirty (30) day period (or is such that possession of the Leased Premises is necessary to remedy the Non-Monetary Default), the date for termination shall be extended for such period of time as may be reasonably required to remedy such Non-Monetary Default, if and only if (i) subject to Article 20.4, within thirty (30) days of Landlords notice of its intent to terminate the Lease, Leasehold Mortgagee irrevocably agrees in writing to assume Tenants obligations under the Lease following Leasehold Mortgagees obtaining possession of the Leased Premises, (ii) Leasehold Mortgagee shall have fully cured any default in the payment of any monetary obligations of Tenant under this Lease within five (5) business days after its receipt of notice of Landlords intent to terminate, and shall continue to pay currently such monetary obligations as and when the same are due, subject to the applicable notice and cure provisions provided in this Lease, and (iii) Leasehold Mortgagee continues its good faith and diligent efforts to remedy such Non-Monetary Default (including its acquisition of possession of the Leased Premises if necessary to cure such Default); provided, however, that Leasehold Mortgagee shall not be obligated to pursue the cure of any Non-Monetary Default until it has obtained possession of the Leased Premises if, but only if, (x) Leasehold Mortgagee fully complies with the obligation to cure any Monetary Default of Tenant and to keep current all monetary obligations under this Lease as provided in, and within the time set forth in, subclause (d)(i) above, and (y) Leasehold Mortgagee is diligently and continuously pursuing such actions as are necessary to enable it to obtain possession of the Leased Premises at the earliest possible date.

 

(e)                                  The rights granted Leasehold Mortgagee in this Article 20.3 are accommodations only to and for the benefit of Leasehold Mortgagee and shall not be construed to grant Tenant any additional rights not specifically provided in this Lease.  Nothing in this Article 20.3 shall be construed to require a Leasehold Mortgagee to continue any foreclosure proceeding it may have commenced against Tenant after all defaults have been cured by Leasehold Mortgagee, and if such defaults are cured and the Leasehold Mortgagee discontinues such foreclosure proceedings, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as if Tenant had not defaulted under this Lease; provided, however, that in no event shall this provision be applied to allow a defaulting Tenant to remain on the Leased Premises following its failure to cure any default within Tenants prescribed cure period on more than one occasion in any consecutive twelve (12) month period.  Nothing in this Article 20 shall require a Leasehold Mortgagee who has acquired Tenants leasehold interest and has taken possession of the Leased Premises to cure any

 

F-34

 


 

 

Non-Monetary Default which is not capable of being cured by such Leasehold Mortgagee.  Any such uncurable Non-Monetary Default shall be deemed to be waived following Leasehold Mortgagees acquisition of Tenants leasehold interest and such Leasehold Mortgagees timely cure of all Monetary Defaults and all Non-Monetary Defaults which are capable of cure by such Leasehold Mortgagee in accordance with this Article 20.  Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(iv)                              it is understood and agreed that Leasehold Mortgagee, or its designee, or any purchaser in foreclosure proceedings (including, without limitation, an entity formed by Leasehold Mortgagee or by the holder(s) of the bonds or obligations secured by the Leasehold Mortgage) may, subject to the following terms of this Article 20.3, become the legal owner and holder of this Lease through such foreclosure proceedings or by assignment of this a Lease in lieu of foreclosure.

 

(f)                                   Subject to Article 20.4, it shall be a condition precedent to any assignment or transfer of this Lease by foreclosure of any Leasehold Mortgage, deed in lieu thereof or otherwise that Leasehold Mortgagee, or its designee (including, without limitation, an entity which has such a tangible net worth formed by Leasehold Mortgagee or by the holder(s) of the bonds or obligations secured by the Leasehold Mortgage) or any purchaser in any such foreclosure proceedings (any such transferee of the Lease, a Transferee) (a) have and maintain (or have a guarantor with) a tangible net worth, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, of at least One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000.00), (b) upon becoming the legal owner and holder of this Lease shall execute an agreement with Landlord, reasonably acceptable to Landlord, pursuant to which such Transferee agrees to assume all obligations of Tenant under this Lease, and (c) either the Transferee or an entity engaged by such Transferee to manage the Leased Premises (pursuant to a management agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord), operates at least one first-tier destination ski resort in North America and is otherwise reasonably acceptable to Landlord.

(h)                                 In the event of the termination of this Lease prior to the expiration of the Term, whether by summary proceedings to dispossess, service of notice to terminate, or otherwise, due to default of Tenant, Landlord shall serve upon Leasehold Mortgagee written notice that the Lease has been terminated together with a statement of any and all sums which would at that time be due under this Lease but for such termination, and of all other defaults, if any, under this Lease then known to Landlord. Leasehold Mortgagee shall thereupon have the option to obtain a new lease in accordance with and upon the following terms and conditions:

 

(i)                                     Upon the written request of Leasehold Mortgagee, delivered to Landlord within thirty (30) days after service of such notice that the Lease has been terminated to Leasehold Mortgagee, Landlord shall enter into a new lease of the Leased Premises with Leasehold Mortgagee or its designee, having (or having a guarantor having) a tangible net worth in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of at least One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000.00).

23.3                        Subordination/Non-Disturbance.   Upon request of the holder of any Mortgage, Tenant will subordinate its rights under this Lease to the lien thereof and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security thereof, and Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver an instrument effecting such subordination; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, Tenants obligation to (a) subordinate its rights under this Lease to the lien of any holder of a Mortgage and (b) execute and deliver such instrument shall be conditioned upon Landlord obtaining and delivering to Tenant, in recordable form, from the holder of any Mortgage to which this Lease is to become subordinate (and in the case of any Mortgage to which this Lease is subordinate by operation of law, Landlord, upon Tenants request, shall use good faith efforts to obtain from the holder of such Mortgage and deliver to Tenant, in recordable form) a non-disturbance agreement reasonably acceptable to Tenant containing a covenant binding upon the holder thereof to the effect that as long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease, this Lease shall not be terminated or modified in any respect whatsoever, nor shall the rights of Tenant hereunder or its occupancy of the Leased Premises be affected in any way by reason of such Mortgage or any foreclosure action or other proceeding that may be instituted in connection therewith, and that, except to the

 

F-39

 


 

 

extent that the holder of such Mortgage is required to do so to effectively foreclose such Mortgage, Tenant shall not be named as a defendant in any such foreclosure action or other proceeding.  In the event of attornment, no lender shall be (i) liable for any act or omission of Landlord, or subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against Landlord (prior to such lender becoming Landlord under such attornment), (ii) liable for any security deposit or bound by any prepaid Rent not actually received by such lender, or (iii) bound by any future modification of this Lease not consented to by such lender.  Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure a default within the time permitted Landlord for cure under this Lease, if any, then any such lender whose address has been so provided to Tenant shall have an additional period of thirty (30) days in which to cure (or such additional time as may be required die to causes beyond such lenders control, including time to obtain possession of the Leased by power of sale or judicial action).  The provisions of this Article shall be self-operative; however, Tenant shall execute such documentation as Landlord or any lender may reasonably request from time to time in order to confirm the matters set forth in this Article in recordable form.

 

23.4                        Form of Documents.   Landlord and Tenant, upon request of any party in interest, shall execute promptly such commercially reasonable instruments or certificates to carry out the provisions of this ARTICLE 23; provided, however, neither party shall be required to execute any such instruments or certificates that would in any way modify the terms and provisions of this Lease.

 

ARTICLE 24.
DEFAULT

 

24.1                        Tenant Default.   An Event of Default by the Tenant shall exist under this Lease if:

 

(i)                                     Tenant neglects or fails to pay any installment of Rent, including Annual Fixed Rent, Annual Percentage Rent and any other charge under this Lease within ten (10) days after notice of default (but Landlord is not required to give more than two such default notices during any one Lease Year), or

 

(ii)                                  Tenant neglects or fails to perform or observe any of the other covenants, terms, provisions or conditions on its part to be performed or observed under this Lease, within thirty (30) days after notice of default (or if more than thirty (30) days shall be reasonably required because of the nature of the default, if Tenant fails to proceed diligently to cure such default after such notice), or

 

(iii)                               Tenant fails to perform or observe any obligations pursuant to Tenants Operating Covenant hereunder, or

 

(iv)                              upon the occurrence of any default under a Related Agreement [or the Guaranty] or any guaranty of a Related Agreement that remains uncured after the expiration of the applicable cure period thereunder or

 

(v)                                 Tenant (a) admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, (b) commences any case, proceeding or other action seeking

 

F-40

 


 

 

to have an order for relief entered on its behalf as debtor or to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or composition of it or its debts under any federal, state or local law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, (c) makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (d) is generally unable to pay its debts as they mature, (e) seeks or consents to the appointment of a receiver of itself or of the whole or any substantial part of its property, or (f) files a petition or answer seeking reorganization or arrangement under an order or decree appointing, without the consent of Tenant, a receiver of Tenant of the whole or substantially all of its property, and such case, proceeding or other action is not dismissed within ninety (90) days after the commencement thereof; or

 

(vi)                              the estate or interest of Tenant in the Leased Premises or any part thereof is levied upon or attached in any proceeding and the same is not vacated or discharged within the later of ninety (90) days after commencement thereof or thirty (30) days after receipt by Tenant of notice thereof from Landlord (unless Tenant is contesting such lien or attachment in accordance with this Lease), or

 

(vii)                           Tenant abandons or vacates the Leased Premises during the Term of this Lease.

 

24.2                        Remedies.   Upon an Event of Default by the Tenant under this Lease, Landlord may immediately or at any time thereafter, as permitted by law, give Tenant written notice of Landlords termination of this Lease, and, upon such notice, Tenants rights to possession of the Leased Premises shall cease and this Lease shall thereupon be terminated, and Landlord may re-enter and take possession of the Leased Premises as its own property; or Landlord may remain out of possession of the Leased Premises and treat the Term of the Lease as subsisting and in full force and effect, in which event Landlord shall have all rights and remedies available at law, in equity or hereunder; and as an alternative remedy Landlord may, at Landlords election, without terminating the then current Term, or this Lease, re-enter the Leased Premises or take possession thereof pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by law, and having elected to re-enter or take possession of the Leased Premises without terminating the Term, or this Lease, Landlord shall use reasonable diligence as Tenants agent to relet the Leased Premises, or parts thereof, for such term (which may be greater or less than the remaining balance of the then current Term) or terms and at such rental and upon such other terms and conditions as Landlord may reasonably deem advisable, with the right to make alterations and repairs to the Leased Premises, and no such re-entry or taking of possession of the Leased Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on Landlords part to terminate this Lease, and no such re-entry or taking of possession by Landlord shall relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay Rent (at the time or times provided herein), or of any of its other obligations under this Lease, all of which shall survive such re-entry or taking of possession, and Tenant shall continue to pay Rent as provided in this Lease until the end of the Term and whether or not the Leased Premises have been relet, less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the Leased Premises after deducting all of Landlords expenses in connection with such reletting, including without limitation all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, expenses of employees, alterations costs and expenses of preparation for reletting.  If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, then Landlord may re-lease the Leased Premises for such price and on such

 

F-41

 


 

 

terms as may be immediately obtainable, and Tenant will be and remain liable, not only for all Rent due and other obligations incurred up to the date on which the termination becomes effective, for all holdover damages that accrue under Article 4.3 until Tenant vacates or is removed from the Leased Premises, but also for stipulated or liquidated damages for its nonperformance equal to the sum of (i) all expenses that Landlord may reasonably incur in re-entering and repossessing the Leased Premises, putting the Leased Premises in proper repair and curing any default by Tenant, and removing Tenants improvements, if Landlord has elected to require such removal, making any reasonable non-structural modifications that may be required for any new tenants, and reletting the Leased Premises, including reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements, sheriffs fees and brokerage fees in doing so, plus (ii) twenty-four (24) months of the Annual Fixed Rent provided in this Lease.  Having elected either to remain out of possession and treating this Lease as remaining in full force and effect or to re-enter or take possession of the Leased Premises without terminating the Term, or this Lease, Landlord may by notice to Tenant given at any time thereafter while Tenant is in default in the payment of Rent or in the performance of any other obligation under this Lease, elect to terminate this Lease and, upon such notice, this Lease shall thereupon be terminated.  If in accordance with any of the foregoing provisions of this Article 24, Landlord shall have the right to elect to re-enter and take possession of the Leased Premises, Landlord may enter and expel Tenant and those claiming through or under Tenant and remove the effects of both or either (forcibly if necessary) without being guilty of any manner of trespass and without prejudice to any remedies for arrears of Rent or preceding breach of covenant.  Pursuit of any of the foregoing remedies shall not preclude pursuit of any of the other remedies herein provided or any other remedies provided by law, nor shall pursuit of any remedy herein provided constitute a forfeiture or waiver of any Rent due to Landlord hereunder or of any damage accruing to Landlord by reason of the violation of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained.  Forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or more of the remedies herein provided upon the occurrence of an event of default shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such default.  Following an event of default, all amounts due from Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Lease shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

 

24.3                        Landlord Default, Cure Rights.   Landlord shall be in default under this Lease if Landlord neglects or fails to perform or observe any of the material covenants, terms, provisions or conditions on its part to be performed or observed under this Lease, and such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof (or if more than thirty (30) days shall be reasonably required because of the nature of the default, if Landlord fails to proceed diligently to cure such default after such notice). In the event of a Landlord default, then Tenant may immediately or at any time thereafter, in addition to any other rights and remedies as may otherwise be provided in this Lease for a Landlord default, pursue all rights and remedies it may have at law and equity generally.

 

24.4                        Self Help.   If either party (Defaulting Party) fails to perform any agreement or obligation on its part to be performed under this Lease, the other party (Curing Party) shall have the right (i) if no emergency exists, to perform the same after giving thirty (30) days notice to Defaulting Party, and (ii) in any emergency situation to perform the same immediately without notice or delay.  For the purpose of rectifying a default of Defaulting Party as aforesaid, Curing Party shall have the right to enter the Leased Premises.  Defaulting Party shall on demand reimburse Curing Party for the costs and expenses incurred by Curing Party in rectifying defaults as aforesaid, including reasonable attorneys fees, together with interest thereon at the Default

 

F-42

 


 

 

Rate, but nothing herein shall be deemed to permit either party to set off any costs of cure or other amounts against the amounts owing to the other party hereunder.  Any act or thing done by Curing Party pursuant to this Article 24.4 shall not constitute a waiver of any such default by Curing Party or a waiver of any covenant, term or condition herein contained or the performance thereof.

 

24.5                        Remedies Cumulative.   The various rights and remedies given to or reserved to Landlord and Tenant by this Lease or allowed by law shall be cumulative, irrespective of whether so expressly stated.

 

24.6                        Limitation on Landlords Liability.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease:  (A) Tenant will look solely to the interest of Landlord (or its successor as Landlord hereunder) in the Leased Premises for the satisfaction of any judgment or other judicial process requiring the payment of money as a result of (i) any negligence (including gross negligence) or (ii) any breach of this Lease by Landlord or its successor (including any beneficial owners, partners, shareholders, trustees or others affiliated or related to Landlord or such successor) and Landlord shall have no personal liability hereunder of any kind, and (B) Tenants sole right and remedy in any action concerning Landlords reasonableness (where the same is required hereunder) will be an action for declaratory judgment and/or specific performance, and in no event shall Tenant be entitled to claim or recover any damages in any such action.

 

24.7                        Interest on Past Due Obligations; Late Charges.   Except where another rate of interest is specifically provided for in this Lease, any amount due from either party to the other under this Lease which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date such payment was due to and including the date of payment.  In addition, Tenant acknowledges that the late payment of any installment of Rent, including, without limitation, Annual Fixed Rent, Annual Percentage Rent or any other amounts due Landlord will cause Landlord to incur certain costs and expenses, the exact amount of which are extremely difficult or impractical to fix.  These costs and expenses may include, without limitation, administrative and collection costs and processing and accounting expenses.  Therefore, if any installment of Rent, including, without limitation, Annual Fixed Rent, Annual Percentage Rent, and any other amount due Landlord is not received by Landlord from Tenant when due, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord a late charge equal to the lesser of (i) four percent (4%) of such delinquent amount, and (ii) One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00).  Upon accrual, all such late charges shall be deemed Additional Rent.  

 

ARTICLE 25.
ACCESS TO PREMISES

 

25.1                        Ongoing Access and Inspection Rights.   Tenant shall permit Landlord and its authorized representatives to enter the Ski Facility at all reasonable times (upon 48 hours prior notice, except in the event of an emergency, in which event no prior notice is required prior to entry) for the purposes of (i) serving or posting or keeping posted thereon notices required or permitted by Law, (ii) conducting periodic inspections, (iii) performing any work thereon required or permitted to be performed by Landlord pursuant to this Lease, and (iv) showing the Leased Premises to prospective purchasers or lenders.

 

F-43

 


 

 

25.2                        Landlords Development and Construction Inspection Rights.   During any other period of Tenants fixturing, development, or construction in the Leased Premises, Landlord shall have the right to physically inspect, and to cause one or more engineers or other representatives of Landlord to physically inspect, the Leased Premises, as long as the same does not substantially interfere with Tenants operation of or construction activities on the Leased Premises.  Such inspections shall include (without limitation) such tests, inspections and audits of environmental and soils conditions as Landlord deems necessary.  Landlord shall make such inspections in good faith and with due diligence.  All inspection fees, appraisal fees, engineering fees, environmental fees and other expenses of any kind incurred by Landlord relating to the inspection of the Leased Premises will be solely Landlords expense.  Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in all reasonable respects in making such inspections.  Tenant reserves the right to have a representative present at the time Landlord conducts any such inspection of the Leased Premises.  Landlord shall notify Tenant not less than two (2) business days in advance of making any such inspection.  In making any inspection, Landlord will treat, and will cause any representative of Landlord to treat, all information obtained by Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Article 25.2 as strictly confidential.  Landlord agrees to indemnify and hold Tenant, its directors, contractors, employees, agents and representatives harmless for, from and against any and all injuries, losses, liens, claims, judgments, liabilities, costs, expenses or damages (including reasonable attorneys fees and court costs), actual or threatened, which result from or arise out of any inspections by Landlord or its authorized representatives pursuant to this Article 25.2.  Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the indemnity contained in the preceding sentence shall survive the termination of this Lease.

 

ARTICLE 26.
FORCE MAJEURE; ARCHAEOLOGICAL-PALEONTOLOGICAL DISCOVERIES

 

26.1                        Force Majeure.   If either party is delayed or hindered in or prevented from the performance of any act required under this Lease by reason of strikes, lockouts, labor troubles, inability to procure materials, failure of power, restrictive Laws (except as otherwise specifically provided herein), riots, insurrection, terrorist acts, enemy or hostile government action, acts of God, war or other reason beyond the reasonable control of and not the fault of the party delayed in performing the work or doing the acts required under the terms of this Lease (collectively, Force Majeure), then performance of such act shall be excused for the period of the delay, and the period for the performance of any such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay.  The provisions of this Article shall not (i) operate to excuse Tenant from prompt payment of Rent or any other payment required by Tenant under the terms of this Lease, or (ii) be applicable to delays resulting from the inability of a party to obtain financing or to proceed with its obligations under this Lease because of a lack of funds.

 

26.2                        Archeological-Paleontological Discoveries.   Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of any and all antiquities or other objects of historic or scientific interest.  These include, without limitation, historic and prehistoric ruins, fossils, or artifacts discovered in the course of performance of this Lease or during any development, construction, maintenance, or repair of the Leased Premises.  Tenant shall use diligent, protective and mitigative measures to leave such discoveries intact until further notification from Landlord.

ARTICLE 27.
MISCELLANEOUS

 

27.1                        Lease Not to be Recorded.   Upon request of Landlord or Tenant, the parties hereto shall promptly execute and deliver a memorandum of this Lease for recording purposes in mutually agreeable recordable form.  If Tenant elects to record such memorandum, Landlord shall promptly cause the same to be recorded, at Tenants expense.  Neither party may record this Lease without the consent of the other party.

27.3                        Waiver of Performance and Disputes.   One or more waivers of any covenant, term or condition of this Lease by either party shall not be construed as a waiver of a subsequent breach of the same or any other covenant, term or condition, nor shall any delay or omission by either party to seek a remedy for any breach of this Lease or to exercise a right accruing to such party by reason of such breach be deemed a waiver by such party of its remedies or rights with respect to such breach.  The consent or approval by either party to or of any act by the other party requiring such consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary consent to or approval of any similar act.

 

27.4                        Modification of Lease.   The terms, covenants and conditions hereof may not be changed orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, modification or discharge is sought, or by such partys agent.

27.12                 Interpretation.   It is hereby mutually acknowledged and agreed that the provisions of this Lease have been fully negotiated between parties of comparable bargaining power with the assistance of counsel and shall be applied according to the normal meaning and tenor thereof without regard to the general rule that contractual provisions are to be construed narrowly against the party that drafted the same or any similar rule of construction.

 

27.13                 Severability.   If any provisions of this Lease are determined to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the balance of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, and such invalid provision shall be construed or reformed by such court in order to give the maximum permissible effect to the intention of the parties as expressed therein.

 

27.14                 Landlord and Tenant.   Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto or by any third party to create the relationship of principal and agent or of partnership or of joint venture or of any association whatsoever between Landlord and Tenant, it being expressly understood and agreed that neither the computation of Rent nor any other provision contained in this Lease nor any act or acts of the parties hereto shall be deemed to create any relationship between Landlord and Tenant other than the relationship of landlord and tenant.

F-48

 


 

 

shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Lease.  In proving this Lease, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.

For and in consideration of leasing the Premises by the Landlord to the Tenant under the Lease, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the Guarantor, the Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

 

1.                                      The Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally if more than one, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the prompt and faithful performance of all of the terms and provisions of the Lease by the Tenant and any assignee of the Tenant to Landlord and its successors and assigns (subject to the terms hereof), including, but not limited to, the payment of all installments of rent and other sums due to Landlord thereunder (Obligations).  The Guarantor does hereby waive each and every notice to which the Guarantor may be entitled under the Lease, or otherwise, and expressly consents to any extension of time, leniency, amendment, waiver, forbearance, or any change which may be made in any term and condition of the Lease (collectively Modifications), and no such Modifications (including, without limitation, (a) Modifications which increase the amount of rent owing under the Lease, increase the length of the Lease term, add additional space to the Premises, or change the location of any part of the Premises; or (b) Modifications occurring after any purported revocation of this Guaranty) shall release the Guarantor from any liability or obligation hereby incurred or assumed. The Guarantor further expressly waives any notice of default in or under any of the terms of the Lease, notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, and all setoffs and counterclaims.

The Landlord may maintain

 

G-1

 


 

 

successive actions for other defaults. The Landlords rights hereunder shall not be exhausted by its exercise of any of its rights or remedies or by any such action, until and unless all Obligations hereby guaranteed have been paid and fully performed.

 

3.                                      In the event that any action is commenced by the Landlord to enforce the provisions of this Guaranty, the Landlord shall be entitled, if it shall prevail in any such action or proceeding, to recover from Guarantor all reasonable costs incurred in connection therewith or in connection with any action to enforce any provisions of the Lease or to realize on any collateral securing performance under either the Lease or this Guaranty, including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees.  In the event any action is commenced by the Landlord to enforce the provisions of this Guaranty and Guarantor prevails, Landlord shall pay Guarantor all reasonable costs incurred in connection with Guarantors defense of such action, including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees and costs.

 

4.                                      The Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right or remedy which the Guarantor may now have or hereafter acquire against the Tenant that arises hereunder and/or from the performance by the Guarantor hereunder including, without limitation, any claim, remedy, or right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, or participation in any claim, right, or remedy of the Landlord against the Tenant or any security which the Landlord now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise, to any claim, right or remedy which the Landlord may now have or hereafter acquire against the Tenant that arises under the Lease or otherwise relating to the Obligations.

 

5.                                      The Guarantor acknowledges that the Guarantor is financially interested in the Tenant and will receive a direct or indirect benefit if the Landlord enters into the Lease with the Tenant, and that the Landlord would not enter into the Lease with the Tenant unless it received this Guaranty.

 

6.                                      Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Guarantor shall be released and relieved from liability under this Guaranty and this Guaranty shall be of no further force and effect without the necessity of any further documentation from and after the date Tenant requests and Landlord consents to an assignment or if Tenant assigns the Lease to an entity controlling, controlled by or under common control of Tenant, and (i) the assignee, by written instrument, duly executed and acknowledged and delivered to Landlord, assumes and covenants and agrees with Landlord to perform all the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease which by the terms hereof are binding on Tenant from and after such transfer and (ii) such assignee (or the guarantor of such assignees obligations under this Lease) shall have a book net worth of not less than $50,000,000.00 as of the end of the calendar month preceding the month during which any such assignment becomes effective, as demonstrated to Landlords reasonable satisfaction (e.g. by audited financial statements or the delivery of a 10-Q report, in the case of a public company).  Notwithstanding that the release of Guarantor hereunder (subject to the conditions described above) does not require further documentation to be effective, Landlord will, promptly upon Guarantors request (and after the occurrence of any of the conditions to release described above or if this Guaranty is otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of the Lease), provide Guarantor a written document releasing Guarantor of its obligations hereunder.  The requirement

 

G-2

 


 

 

of Landlord to provide such release will expressly survive the termination of the remainder of this Guaranty.

 

7.                                      This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of the Landlord, its heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns and shall be binding upon the Guarantor and the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the Guarantor.

 

8.                                      The liability of the Guarantor hereunder shall in no way be affected by, and the Guarantor expressly waives any defenses that may arise by reason of, (a) the release or discharge of the Tenant in any creditors, receivership, bankruptcy or other proceedings; (b) the impairment, limitation or modification of the liability of the Tenant or the estate of the Tenant in bankruptcy, or of any remedy for the enforcement of the Tenants liability under the Lease, resulting from the operation of any present or future provision of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or other statute or from the decision in any court; (c) the rejection or disaffirmance of the Lease in any such proceedings; (d) the modification, assignment or transfer of the Lease by the Tenant; (e) any disability or other defense of the Tenant; or (f) the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of the Tenant under the Lease.

 

9.                                      The Guarantor agrees that in the event the Tenant becomes insolvent or is adjudicated bankrupt, or files a petition for reorganization, arrangement, or similar relief under any present or future provisions of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, or any similar law or statute of the United States or any State thereof, or if an order for relief is entered against the Tenant on a petition for involuntary bankruptcy filed by any of the creditors of the Tenant, or if the Tenant seeks a judicial readjustment of the rights of its creditors under any present or future Federal or State law or if a receiver of all or part of its property and assets is appointed by any State or Federal Court, then in addition to all other remedies available to Landlord under the Lease or at law, the following shall apply:

 

a.                                      If the Lease shall be terminated or rejected, or the Obligations of the Tenant thereunder shall be modified, the Landlord shall have the option either (i) to require the Guarantor, and the Guarantor hereby so agrees, to execute and deliver to the Landlord a new Lease as the tenant for the balance of the term then remaining as provided in the Lease and upon the same terms and conditions as set forth therein, or (ii) to recover from the Guarantor that amount which the Landlord would be entitled to recover from the Tenant under the Lease in the event of a termination of the Lease by the Landlord because of a default by the Tenant, and such amount shall be recoverable from the Guarantor without regard to whether the Landlord is entitled to recover that amount from the Tenant in any such proceeding.

 

b.                                      If any obligation under the Lease is performed by the Tenant and all or any part of that performance is avoided or recovered from the Landlord as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, in any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganization or other proceeding involving the Tenant, the liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect.
