The Manager shall perform on behalf of each Asset Entity any obligation reasonably required of such Asset Entity pursuant to any Tenant Lease, Asset Agreement or other agreement related to the Tenant Site Assets (other than the payment of amounts due from the Asset Entities thereunder, which payments shall be paid out of the Operating Account as provided herein).

(b)    Administration of Tenant Leases. The Manager shall, on behalf of the Asset Entities, (i) maintain a database of the Tenant Leases indicating, for each Tenant Lease, the amount of all payments due from the Tenant thereunder and the dates on which such payments are due, (ii) invoice all Rents and Receipts due under the Tenant Leases and otherwise with respect to the Tenant Site Assets, in each case to the extent required by such agreements and licenses, and use commercially reasonable efforts to collect all such Receipts and Rents and other amounts due under the Tenant Leases and otherwise, (iii) managing delinquencies and defaults under the Tenant Leases, (iv) perform all services required to be performed by the Asset Entities under the terms of the Tenant Leases and (v) otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure compliance on the part of the Asset Entities with the terms of the Transaction Documents and each Asset Agreement and Tenant Lease, all in accordance with the Operation Standards. Each Asset Entity hereby authorizes the Manager to take any action the Manager deems to be necessary or appropriate to enforce the terms of the Transaction Documents and each Asset Agreement and Tenant Lease in accordance with the Operation Standards, including the right to exercise (or not to exercise) any right such Asset Entity may have to collect Rent and other amounts due under the Asset Agreements or Tenant Leases (whether through judicial proceedings or otherwise), to terminate any Tenant Lease, Asset Agreement or to evict any Tenant. The Manager shall also have the right, in accordance with the Operation Standards, to compromise, settle and otherwise resolve claims and disputes with regard to the Asset Agreements and Tenant Leases. The Manager may agree to any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of, forgive any payment on, and permit the release of any Tenant on, any Asset Agreement or Tenant Lease pertaining to the Tenant Site Assets as it may determine to be necessary or appropriate in accordance with the Operation Standards.

(c)    Compliance with Law, Etc. The Manager will take such actions within its reasonable control as may be necessary to comply in all material respects with any and all laws, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations, requirements, permits, licenses, certificates of occupancy, statutes and deed restrictions applicable to the Tenant Site Assets. The cost of complying with this paragraph shall be the responsibility of the Asset Entities, shall be considered an Operating Expense, shall be included in the Operating Budget and shall be payable out of the Operating Account.

(d)    Within two (2) Business Days of identification thereof, the Manager shall transfer all amounts deposited into the Lock Box Account and attributable to the Tenant Site Assets to the Collection Account.

(e)    On the day that is four (4) Business Days prior to each Payment Date, the Manager shall furnish to the Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Backup Manager a report (the “Manager Report”) in substantially the form attached as Exhibit B with respect to the periods specified therein. In addition, the Manager shall provide to the Servicer an updated

 

4


Tenant Lease database no less frequently than every six (6) months. The Manager shall, upon request, furnish such additional information pertaining to the Tenant Site Assets as each Rating Agency may reasonably request in writing, to the extent in the possession of the Manager or available to the Manager without undue burden or expense. The Manager shall, upon request in writing, furnish such additional information to the Servicer as the Servicer deems reasonably necessary to perform its duties under the Servicing Agreement, to the extent in the possession of the Manager or available to the Manager without undue burden or expense.

(f)    In the event that the Manager has the right to terminate a Tenant Lease on the basis of a cross-default to a lease that is not a Tenant Lease, the Manager agrees not to terminate the related Tenant Lease unless the Manager reasonably believes (and certifies to the Servicer) that (1) there is a significant risk of the Tenant defaulting under the related Tenant Lease or (2) the Manager will be able to replace such Tenant Lease with a new Tenant Lease with an equal or greater term and after giving effect to such replacement, the pro forma Annualized Net Cash Flow with respect to the related Tenant Site Asset will be at least equal to the Annualized Net Cash Flow for such Tenant Site Asset immediately prior to the replacement.

SECTION 4.    Administrative Services.

(a)    During the Term of this Agreement, the Manager shall, subject to the terms hereof, provide to each Obligor the following administrative services in accordance with the Operation Standards (collectively, the “Administrative Services”):

(i)    clerical, bookkeeping and accounting services, including maintenance of general records of the Obligors, as necessary or appropriate in light of the nature of the Obligors’ business and the requirements of the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents;

(ii)    maintain accurate books of account and records of the transactions of each Obligor, render statements or copies thereof from time to time as reasonably requested by such Obligor;

(iii)    prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all franchise, withholding, income and other tax returns of such Obligor required to be filed by it and arrange for any taxes owing by such Obligor to be paid to the appropriate authorities out of funds of such Obligor available for such purpose, all on a timely basis and in accordance with applicable law, rules or regulations;

(iv)    administer such Obligor’s performance under the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents, including (A) preparing and delivering (or causing to be prepared and delivered) on behalf of such Obligor such Opinions of Counsel, Officers’ Certificates, reports, notices and other documents as are required under such Indenture and the other Transaction Documents and (B) holding, maintaining and preserving such Indenture and the other Transaction Documents and books and records relating to such Indenture and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated or funded thereby, and making such books and records available for inspection in accordance with the terms of such Indenture and the other Transaction Documents;

 

5

(vi)    manage all litigation instituted by or against such Obligor, including retaining on behalf of and for the account of such Obligor legal counsel to perform such services as may be necessary or appropriate in connection therewith and negotiating any settlements to be entered into in connection therewith; provided that, with respect to any such litigation that refers to any property interest of the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders, in litigation papers accompanying a summons as a result of the conveyance by an Asset Entity to the Indenture Trustee, the Manager shall act on behalf of the Indenture Trustee to manage such litigation and shall promptly advise the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer, what action, if any, the Manager is taking, or intends to take, in connection therewith; provided, further, the Manager shall answer and appear on the Indenture Trustee’s behalf, but in no event shall the Manager accept a default judgment to the extent the related proceeding asserts any personal or institutional claims against the Indenture Trustee without the consent of the Indenture Trustee; provided, further, that, during a Special Servicing Period, the Servicer shall be entitled to assume the rights and obligations of the Manager pursuant to this clause (vi).

(b)    The Obligors acknowledge that, for tax purposes, the Manager will allocate the value of its services among the Obligors on a basis determined by the Manager in its reasonable discretion and the Obligors agree to be bound by such allocation and to file any required tax returns on a basis consistent with such allocation.

SECTION 5.    Reporting. The Manager shall maintain full and accurate books of accounts and other records reflecting the results of the operations of the Tenant Site Assets on a consolidated basis and shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer (in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Servicer) within forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar month, commencing with the month of December, reports of Operating Expenses (presented on a monthly and year to date basis).

SECTION 6.    Other Services.

(a)    The Manager may, subject to Section 6(b) below, provide to each Asset Entity marketing and leasing services in accordance with the Operation Standards (collectively, the “Other Services”). Such services may include marketing of Site Space, conducting diligence on potential new tenants and procuring Tenant Leases with third party customers for the Tenant Site Assets, including locating potential Tenants, negotiating Tenant Leases with such Tenants and executing or brokering Tenant Leases as agent and attorney-in-fact for the Asset Entities (including renewals, expansions, equipment changes, rental abatements, relocations, maintenance agreements, terminations and extensions of such Tenant Leases). To the extent that the Manager agrees to provide such services, the Manager shall have complete authority to negotiate all of the terms of each Tenant Lease, both economic and non-economic, as well as complete authority to negotiate and execute amendments and other modifications thereto in the

 

6


name of or on behalf of the Asset Entities; provided, however, that the terms of any Tenant Lease or amendment or modification thereof shall be on commercially reasonable terms and in accordance with the Operation Standards. Notwithstanding the absence of an agreement to provide such services, the Asset Entities specifically authorize the Manager to develop, operate and maintain marketing materials, including an internet website, pursuant to which the Tenant Site Assets may be marketed as an integrated network (including other outdoor advertising sites owned or operated by the Manager or its Affiliates other than the Asset Entities), recognizing that such marketing efforts may not identify the particular Asset Entity related to a particular Tenant Site Asset.

(b)    Any provision of Other Services to the Asset Entities by the Manager shall be subject to an additional agreement between the Manager and the Obligors, pursuant to which the Obligors shall agree to provide additional compensation to the Manager; provided that the obligation to pay any such additional compensation shall be limited to, and payable only from and to the extent of, funds otherwise available to the Obligors in accordance with Section 5.01(a)(xiv) of the Indenture.

SECTION 7.    Operation Standards. The Manager shall perform the Services in accordance with and subject to the terms of the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents, the Tenant Leases, the Asset Agreements and applicable law, rules or regulations and, to the extent consistent with the foregoing, (i) using the same degree of care, skill, prudence and diligence that the Manager employed in the management of Tenant Site Assets prior to the date hereof and, to the extent applicable, that the Manager uses for other similar assets it manages and (ii) with the objective of timely collections of Rents under the Tenant Leases. The Manager hereby acknowledges that it has received a copy of the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents and agrees not to take any action or fail to take any action within its control that would cause the Obligors to be in default thereunder. The services performed in relation to the Tenant Site Assets shall be of a scope and quality not less than those generally performed by professional managers performing services consistent with those required of the Manager under this Agreement for assets similar in type and quality to the Tenant Site Assets that are located in the same geographical market areas as the Tenant Site Assets.

SECTION 8.    Authority of Manager. During the Term, the parties recognize that the Manager will be acting as the exclusive agent of the Obligors with regard to the Services described herein. Each Asset Entity hereby grants to the Manager the exclusive right and authority, and hereby appoints the Manager as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Asset Entity and in the name of such Asset Entity, to negotiate, execute, implement, amend or terminate, as circumstances dictate, for and on behalf of such Asset Entity, any and all Tenant Leases, Asset Agreements, contracts, permits, licenses, registrations, approvals, amendments and other instruments, documents and agreements as the Manager deems necessary or advisable in accordance with the Operation Standards. The Manager will also have the authority to enforce, terminate and compromise disputes under all Tenant Leases, Asset Agreements and all other agreements and documents, as the Manager deems necessary and desirable. In addition, the Manager will have full discretion in determining (subject to the Operation Standards and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4(a)(vi)) whether to commence litigation on behalf of an Asset Entity, and will have full authority to act on behalf of each Asset Entity in any litigation proceedings or settlement discussions

 

7


commenced by or against any Asset Entity. Each Asset Entity shall promptly execute such other or further documents as the Manager may from time to time reasonably request to more completely effect or evidence the authority of the Manager hereunder, including the delivery of such powers of attorney (or other similar authorizations) as the Manager may reasonably request to enable it to carry out the Services hereunder.

SECTION 9.    Operating Account; Receipts.

(a)    Operating Account. On or prior to the Effective Date, the Manager shall establish, and at all times during the Term of this Agreement shall maintain, one or more operating bank accounts in the name of an Obligor or on behalf of one or more Asset Entities (such account or accounts being the “Operating Account”). The Asset Entities shall deposit or cause to be deposited funds received in accordance with Sections 5.01(a)(v) and 5.01(a)(vii) of the Indenture into the Operating Account for the payment of Capital Expenditures and Operating Expenses (other than Impositions and Insurance Premiums that are to be paid from (and to the extent of) available cash on deposit in the Impositions and Insurance Reserve Account pursuant to the Indenture) in accordance with the amounts and timing set forth in the Budget. At all times during the Term of this Agreement the Manager shall have full access to the Operating Account for the purposes set forth herein, and all checks or disbursements from the Operating Account will require only the signature of the Manager. Funds may be withdrawn by the Manager from the Operating Account only (i) to pay Operating Expenses and Capital Expenditures in accordance with the terms hereof, (ii) to withdraw amounts deposited in error and (iii) if the Manager determines, in accordance with the Operation Standards, that the amount on deposit in the Operating Account exceeds the amount required to pay the Operating Expenses and Capital Expenditures as the same become due and payable, to make such other distributions as the Issuer may direct. The Manager may direct any institution maintaining the Operating Account to invest the funds held therein in one or more Permitted Investments as the Manager may select in its discretion. All interest and investment income realized on funds deposited therein shall be deposited to the Operating Account.

(b)    Receipts. The Manager shall cause all Receipts to be deposited directly into the applicable Lock Box Account as required by the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents. The Manager acknowledges that the Obligors are obligated under the Transaction Documents to direct all Tenants and other Persons obligated to pay any Rents and Receipts directly to the applicable Lock Box Account for deposit into the Collection Account. The Manager agrees to comply (and to cooperate with the Asset Entities in complying) with such requirements and directions, and the Manager agrees to give no direction to any Tenant or other Person in contravention of such requirements or directions, nor otherwise to cause any Rents or Receipts to be paid to the Asset Entities, the Manager or any other Person, whether at the direction of the Asset Entities or otherwise. In the event the Manager shall for any reason receive any Receipts, the Manager shall deposit the same within four (4) Business Days of identification of such amounts into the applicable Lock Box Account. The Manager hereby disclaims any and all interests in each of the Accounts and in any of the Receipts. Upon written notice from the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer that an Event of Default has occurred under the Indenture or the other Transaction Documents, the Manager agrees to apply Receipts as instructed by the Servicer.

 

8


SECTION 10.    Operating Budget and CapEx Budget. Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Manager and the Obligors have agreed on an initial Operating Budget and CapEx Budget for the period beginning on November 5, 2017 through the end of calendar year 2017, copies of which are attached as Exhibit A. On or before December 15 of each year, commencing in 2018, the Manager shall deliver to the Issuer and the Servicer (and if so requested by the Indenture Trustee promptly upon the Indenture Trustee’s request) an Operating Budget and CapEx Budget for the following calendar year (in each case presented on a monthly and annual basis). The Operating Budget shall identify and set forth the Manager’s reasonable estimate of all Operating Expenses on a line-item basis consistent with the form of Operating Budget attached as Exhibit A subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.02(b) of the Indenture. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Operating Budget and the CapEx Budget represent estimates only, and that actual Operating Expenses and Capital Expenditures may vary from those set forth in the applicable Budget. In the event the Manager determines, in accordance with the Operation Standards, that the actual Operating Expenses or Capital Expenditures for any year will materially differ from those set forth in the applicable Budget for such year, the Manager may, subject to the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents, modify or supplement such Budget in its discretion to reflect such differences.

SECTION 11.    Operating Expenses and Capital Expenditures.

(a)    The Manager is hereby authorized to incur Operating Expenses and to make Capital Expenditures on behalf of the Asset Entities, the necessity, nature and amount of which may be determined in the Manager’s discretion in accordance with the Operation Standards. The Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to incur Operating Expenses and to make Capital Expenditures within the limits prescribed by the Budgets; provided that the Manager may at any time incur Operating Expenses and make Capital Expenditures in amounts that exceed the Operating Expenses or Capital Expenditures, as the case may be, specified in the applicable Budget if and to the extent that the Manager determines in accordance with the Operation Standards that it is necessary or advisable to do so.

(b)    The Manager shall maintain accurate records with respect to each Tenant Site Asset reflecting the status of real estate and personal property taxes for Fee Sites, Insurance Premiums and other Operating Expenses payable in respect thereof and shall furnish to the Issuer and the Servicer from time to time such information regarding the payment status of such items as the Issuer or the Servicer may from time to time reasonably request. The Manager shall arrange for the payment of all such real estate and personal property taxes, Insurance Premiums and other Operating Expenses payable by the Asset Entities as the same become due and payable out of funds available for that purpose in the Impositions and Insurance Reserve Account (in the manner contemplated by Section 4.03 of the Indenture) or the Operating Account, as applicable. All Operating Expenses will be funded through the Impositions and Insurance Reserve Account or the Operating Account, as applicable, and the Manager shall have no obligation to subsidize, incur, or authorize any Operating Expense that cannot, or will not, be paid by or through the Impositions and Insurance Reserve Account or the Operating Account. If the Manager determines that the funds on deposit in the Impositions and Insurance Reserve Account and the Operating Account are not sufficient to pay all Operating Expenses related to the Tenant Site Assets as the same shall become due and payable, the Manager shall notify the Issuer, the

 

9


Servicer and the Indenture Trustee of the amount of such deficiency and, subject to the applicable provisions of the Indenture and other Transaction Documents, the Obligors shall deposit the amount of such deficiency therein as soon as practicable. In the event of any such deficiency, the Manager may, in its sole discretion and in accordance with the Indenture, elect to pay such Operating Expenses out of its own funds, but shall have no obligation to do so. The Obligors, jointly and severally, shall be obligated to pay or reimburse the Manager for all such Operating Expenses paid by the Manager out of its own funds together with interest thereon at the Prime Rate (as such terms is defined in the Servicing Agreement) on an Actual/360 Basis, payable as an Additional Issuer Expense in accordance with Section 5.01(a)(iii) of the Indenture, and such reimbursement obligation shall survive the expiration of the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 12.    Compensation. In consideration of the Manager’s agreement to perform the Services during the Term hereof, the Obligors hereby jointly and severally agree to pay to the Manager a fee (the “Management Fee”), for each Collection Period, equal to 1.5% of the Operating Revenues of the Obligors for such Collection Period. Such fee in respect of each Collection Period shall be payable to the Manager by the Indenture Trustee, solely from the Collection Account (subject to the availability of funds for such purpose in accordance with Section 5.01(a)(vi) of the Indenture) on each Payment Date. On the day that is three (3) Business Days prior to each Payment Date, the Manager shall report to the Obligors and the Servicer the Management Fee then due and payable based on the information regarding Operating Revenues for the immediately preceding Collection Period then available to it. If the Manager subsequently determines that the Management Fee so paid to it for any Collection Period was less than what should have been paid (based on a re-computation of the Operating Revenues for such Collection Period), then the Management Fee for the next Collection Period shall be increased by the amount of the underpayment. If the Manager subsequently determines that the Management Fee so paid to it for any Collection Period was higher than what should have been paid (based on a re-computation of the Operating Revenues for such Collection Period), then the Management Fee for the next Collection Period shall be reduced by the amount of the overpayment. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement as set forth in Section 22, the Manager shall be entitled to receive, on the next succeeding Payment Date, the portion of the Management Fee which was earned by the Manager through the effective date of such expiration or termination (such earned portion being equal to the product of (a) the total Management Fee that would have been payable for the Collection Period in which such expiration or termination occurred had this Agreement remained in effect and (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such month through the effective date of such expiration or termination and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such month). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12, the Management Fee for the first Payment Date following the Closing Date shall be based on Operating Revenues for the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the last day of the initial Collection Period. The Manager shall be entitled to no other fees or payments from the Obligors as a result of the termination or expiration of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof. None of the expenses necessary to the performance of the Manager’s duties (other than Operating Expenses, Capital Expenditures, the indemnities described in Section 24 and the Other Services described in Section 6) will be paid by the Obligors.

 

10


SECTION 13.    Employees. The Manager shall employ, supervise and pay (or contract with a third party, including an Affiliate of the Manager, to provide, supervise and pay) at all times a sufficient number of capable employees as may be necessary for the Manager to perform the Services hereunder in accordance with the Operation Standards. All employees of the Manager will be employed at the sole cost of the Manager. All matters pertaining to the employment, supervision, compensation, promotion and discharge of such employees are the sole responsibility of the Manager, who is, in all respects, the employer of such employees. To the extent the Manager, its designee, or any subcontractor negotiates with any union lawfully entitled to represent any such employees, it shall do so in its own name and shall execute any collective bargaining agreements or labor contracts resulting therefrom in its own name and not as an agent for any Obligor. The Manager shall comply in all material respects with all applicable laws and regulations related to workers’ compensation, social security, ERISA, unemployment insurance, hours of labor, wages, working conditions and other employer-employee related subjects. The Manager is independently engaged in the business of performing management and operation services as an independent contractor. All employment arrangements in connection with the Manager’s performance of the Services hereunder are therefore solely the Manager’s concern and responsibility, and the Obligors shall have no liability with respect thereto.

SECTION 14.    Books, Records, Inspections and Software. The Manager shall, on behalf of the Obligors, keep (or cause to be kept) such materially accurate and complete books and other records pertaining to the Tenant Site Assets and the Services as may be necessary or appropriate under the Operation Standards.

SECTION 20.    Permitted Activities.

Upon the termination of this Agreement as to a particular Tenant Site Asset, the Manager and the respective Asset Entity that owns such Tenant Site Asset shall be released and discharged from all liability hereunder with respect to such Tenant Site Asset for the period from and after the applicable termination date (except for rights and obligations hereunder that are expressly stated to survive such termination).

16

SECTION 22.    Term of Agreement.

(a)    Term. This Agreement shall be in effect during the period (the “Term”) commencing on the date hereof and ending at 5:00 P.M. (New York time) on the Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Section 22. The Expiration Date under this Agreement may be extended from time to time at the option of the Issuer (or the Servicer on its behalf), acting in its sole and absolute discretion, for successive one (1) month periods (so that the Expiration Date is the last day of each calendar month) by written notice to that effect to the Manager (with a copy to the Indenture Trustee and the Backup Manager) from the Issuer (or the Servicer on its behalf), as the case may be, delivered on or prior to the then-current Expiration Date (an “Extension Notice”); provided that the Servicer shall not have the right to extend the Expiration Date after the payment in full of the Obligations. Each of the Obligors and the Manager agree that if the Issuer fails to deliver an Extension Notice to the Manager by the Expiration Date (or if such day is not a Business Day, on the following Business Day) the Manager shall, on such Expiration Date (or such subsequent Business Day), provide the Servicer (with a copy to the Indenture Trustee and the Backup Manager) with notice of such failure and the Servicer shall have ten (10) Business Days following its receipt of such notice to deliver an Extension Notice to the Manager, and notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 22(a), this Agreement shall continue in effect for such ten (10) Business Days, unless the Servicer shall deliver a notice that it does not intend to deliver an Extension Notice.

17


misconduct in connection with its performance hereunder or (iv) a default on the part of the Manager in the performance of its obligations hereunder, and with respect to clause (iv), such default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and remains unremedied for thirty (30) days after the Manager receives written notice thereof from the Servicer (provided, however, if such default is reasonably susceptible of cure, but not within such thirty (30) day period, then the Manager may be permitted up to an additional ninety (90) days to cure such default provided that the Manager diligently and continuously pursues such cure).

(c)    Automatic Termination for Bankruptcy, Etc. If the Manager or any Obligor files a petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement, or makes an assignment for the benefit of the creditors or takes advantage of any insolvency or similar law, or if a receiver or trustee is appointed for the assets or business of the Manager or any Obligor and is not discharged within ninety (90) days after such appointment, then this Agreement shall terminate automatically; provided that if any such event shall occur with respect to less than all of the Obligors, then this Agreement will terminate solely with respect to the Obligor or Obligors for which such event has occurred and the respective Tenant Site Assets owned, leased or managed by such Obligor(s). Upon the termination of this Agreement as to a particular Obligor, the Manager and such Obligor shall be released and discharged from all liability hereunder for the period from and after the applicable termination date (except for rights and obligations hereunder that are expressly stated to survive any termination) and the Manager shall have no further obligation to perform any Services for such Obligor or any Tenant Site Assets owned, leased or managed by such Obligor from and after such date.

(d)    Resignation by Manager. Unless and until the Indenture has terminated in accordance with its terms and all Obligations due and owing thereunder and under the other Transaction Documents have been fully satisfied, the Manager shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it hereunder except upon determination that (i) the performance of its duties hereunder is no longer permissible under applicable law and (ii) there is no reasonable action which can be taken to make the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under applicable law. Any such determination under clause (d)(i) above permitting the resignation of the Manager shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (who is not an employee of the Manager) to such effect delivered, and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory, to the Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Backup Manager. From and after the date on which the Indenture has terminated in accordance with its terms and all Obligations due and owing thereunder and under the other Transaction Documents have been fully satisfied, the Manager shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Backup Manager and the Servicer, to resign at any time from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it. This Agreement shall terminate with respect to the resigning Manager on the effective date of any resignation of the Manager permitted under this paragraph (d).

(e)    Backup Manager to Act. On and after the termination of the Manager pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) or upon a resignation by the Manager pursuant to paragraph (d) above (other than a resignation by the Manager after all Obligations due and owing under the Transaction Documents have been fully satisfied pursuant to Section 22(d)), the Issuer shall appoint (or if the Issuer fails to so appoint, the Indenture Trustee shall appoint) the Backup Manager or its designee, by providing written notice of such appointment to the Backup

 

18


Manager, as the replacement Manager if the Backup Manager is then able to accept such appointment in accordance with the terms of the Backup Management Agreement. The Manager shall duly satisfy in all material respects all obligations hereunder and on its part to be fulfilled under or in connection with the Backup Management Agreement in connection with the appointment of the Backup Manager, including the performance of all obligations of the Manager until a replacement Manager’s appointment has become effective; provided that the Manager shall be entitled to the Management Fee during such period. If the Backup Manager is unable to act, and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Issuer shall require that the Manager be replaced with a Person chosen by the Issuer (or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, the Servicer) and reasonably acceptable to the Servicer.

(f)    The Issuer and the Manager each agree to give prompt written notice to the Backup Manager of the occurrence of any event or circumstance of which it has Knowledge that could reasonably be expected to lead to the Manager’s termination under Sections 21(b), (c) or (d) hereof.

SECTION 23.    Duties Upon Termination. Upon the expiration or termination of the Term, the Manager shall have no further right to act for any Obligor or to draw checks on the Operating Account and shall promptly (i) furnish to the Issuer or its designee or any replacement Manager all keys, key cards or access codes required in order to obtain access to the Tenant Site Assets, (ii) deliver to the Issuer or its designee or any replacement Manager (x) all Receipts received after such termination or (y) any monies or reserves held by the Manager on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, (iii) deliver to the Issuer or its designee or any replacement Manager all books, files, abstracts, contracts, Tenant Leases, Asset Agreements, materials and supplies, Budgets and other Records relating to the Tenant Site Assets or the performance of the Services and (iv) upon request, assign, transfer, or convey, as required, to the respective Obligors all service contracts and personal property relating to or used in the operation and maintenance of the Tenant Site Assets, except any personal property which was paid for and is owned by the Manager.

Nothing in this Section 23 shall prohibit the Manager, the Obligors or any of their respective Affiliates from retaining copies of any document or instrument delivered in accordance with clauses (i), (iii) or (iv) above. This Section 23 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement (whether in whole or part).

(i)    The Manager may enter into one or more sub-management agreements (each, a “Sub-Management Agreement”) to provide for the performance by one or more third parties, including Affiliates of the Manager (each, a “Sub-Manager”) of any or all of its obligations hereunder, provided that any Sub-Management Agreement shall expressly or effectively provide that if the Manager shall for any reason no longer act in such capacity hereunder (including pursuant to Section 22(b)), any successor to the Manager hereunder (including the Backup Manager if the Backup Manager has become such successor pursuant to Section 22(e)) may thereupon either assume all of the rights and, except to the extent that they arose prior to the date of assumption, obligations of the Manager under such Sub-Management Agreement or alternatively, may terminate such rights and obligations, in either case without cause and without payment of any penalty or termination fee.

(ii)    The Manager shall monitor the performance of its Sub-Managers under any Sub-Management Agreement.

(iii)    The Manager will be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any Sub-Manager. Each Sub-Manager retained under the related Sub-Management Agreement will be reimbursed by the Manager for certain expenditures which it makes, generally to the same extent that the Manager would be reimbursed hereunder.

(e)    Entire Agreement; Severability. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto, and no oral statements or prior written matter not specifically incorporated herein shall be of any force or effect. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

22


(f)    Limitations on Liability.

(i)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Manager nor any member, manager, director, officer, employee, shareholder or agent of the Manager shall be under any liability to the Obligors or any other Person for any action taken, or not taken, in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Manager against any liability to the Obligors, the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee for the material breach of a representation or warranty made by the Manager herein or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed on the Manager solely attributable to the Manager’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of the Services hereunder.

(ii)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no party will be liable to any other for special, indirect, incidental, exemplary, consequential or punitive damages, or loss of profits, arising from the relationship of the parties or the conduct of business under, or breach of, this Agreement.

(iii)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any rights which the Manager might otherwise have at law, in equity, or by statute, any liability of an Obligor to the Manager shall be satisfied only from such Obligor’s interest in the Tenant Site Assets, the Tenant Leases, the Asset Agreements, the Insurance Policies and the proceeds thereof, and then only to the extent that such Obligor has funds available to satisfy such liability in accordance with the Indenture, the Cash Management Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, (any such available funds being hereinafter referred to as “Available Funds”). In the event the Available Funds of an Obligor are insufficient to pay in full any such liabilities of an Obligor, the excess of such liabilities over such Available Funds shall not constitute a claim (as defined in the United States Bankruptcy Code) against such Obligor unless and until a proceeding of the type described in Section 26(j) is commenced against such Obligor by a party other than the Manager or any of its Affiliates.

(iv)    No officer, director, employee, agent, shareholder, member, manager or Affiliate of any Obligor or the Manager (except, in the case of an Obligor, for Affiliates that are also Obligors hereunder) shall in any manner be personally or individually liable for the obligations of any Obligor or the Manager hereunder or for any claim in any way related to this Agreement or the performance of the Services.

(v)    The provisions of this Section 26(f) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement (whether in whole or in part).

(g)    Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.

(i)    THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(ii)    EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF

 

23


MANHATTAN, THE CITY OF NEW YORK OR, IF SUCH FEDERAL COURTS DO NOT HAVE SUBJECT MATTER OR DIVERSITY JURISDICTION FOR A PARTICULAR PROCEEDING, IN THE STATE COURTS SITTING IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR IN RELATION TO THIS AGREEMENT.

(h)    Confidentiality. The Backup Manager, or any other party succeeding to the duties of the Manager named herein (a “Successor Manager”) agrees to keep confidential (and (a) to cause its respective officers, directors and employees to keep confidential and (b) to use its best efforts to cause its respective agents and representatives to keep confidential) the Information (as defined below) and all copies thereof, extracts therefrom and analyses or other materials based thereon, except that such Successor Manager shall be permitted to disclose Information (i) to the extent required by the Transaction Documents, (ii) as requested by the Rating Agencies, (iii) to the extent such Successor Manager reasonably determines disclosure is necessary or advisable to perform services contemplated by this Agreement, (iv) to the extent provided in any Offering Memorandum, (v) the parties to the Indenture who are subject to the confidentiality provisions contained therein, (vi) to actual or prospective Tenants, (vii) if required to do so by any applicable statute, law, rule or regulation, or in working with any taxing authorities or other governmental agencies, (viii) to any government agency or regulatory body having or claiming authority to regulate or oversee any aspects of such Successor Manager’s business or that of its Affiliates, (ix) pursuant to any subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar demand or request of any court, regulatory authority, arbitrator or arbitration to which such Successor Manager or an Affiliate or an officer, director, employer or shareholder thereof is a party, (x) to any Affiliate, independent or internal auditor, agent, employee or attorney of such Successor Manager provided that the Manager advises such recipient of the confidential nature of the Information being disclosed and obtains confirmation in such form as may be acceptable to the Manager to the effect that such Person will keep such Information confidential and (xi) any other disclosure authorized by such Successor Manager. For the purposes of this paragraph (g), the term “Information” shall mean the terms and provisions of this Agreement and all financial statements, certificates, reports, Records, agreements and information (including the Tenant Leases, Asset Agreements and all analyses, compilations and studies based on any of the foregoing) that relate to the Tenant Site Assets or the Services, other than any of the foregoing that are or become publicly available other than by a breach of the confidentiality provisions contained herein.

(i)    Issuer as Agent. Each of the Obligors hereby appoints the Issuer to serve as its representative and agent to act, make decisions, and grant any necessary consents or approvals hereunder, collectively, on behalf of such Obligor. Each Obligor hereby authorizes the Issuer to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Issuer by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

(j)    No Petition. Prior to the date that is one year and one day after the date on which the Indenture has been terminated in accordance with its terms, all Obligations under the Indenture and under the other Transaction Documents have been fully satisfied, the Manager shall not institute, or join any other Person in instituting, or authorize a trustee or other Person acting on its behalf or on behalf of others to institute, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, liquidation or receivership proceedings under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof against any Obligor or the Guarantor.
