subtenant or assignee of Tenant, if not removed within fifteen (15) days after termination or expiration of this Lease shall be deemed abandoned and become the property of Landlord without any payment or offset therefor if Landlord so elects.

obligations under this Lease, or (iii) show such Site to prospective purchasers, lenders or, after the occurrence of an Event of Default or during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, prospective tenants; and Tenant shall not be entitled to

entry shall be deemed an eviction of Tenant. At any time during which Landlord or Landlord’s Representatives are on the Premises, they shall use commercially reasonable efforts to not unreasonably interrupt or interfere with Tenant’s use of
the Premises and shall not cause any damage or injury to persons or property on the Premises.
28

a portion of a Building is prevented due to an insured peril at a location in the vicinity of the applicable Site; (b) cover loss sustained due to the action of a public authority preventing access to a Building provided such order is

due to the accidental interruption or failure of supplies of electricity, gas, sewers, water or telecommunication up to the terminal point of the utility supplier with any Site; (f) name Landlord and its lender(s) and other designees as

Personal Property at a limit of liability determined by Tenant in its sole discretion. During the period of any restoration and repair of any Site or any portion thereof, Tenant shall maintain an “all-risk” Builder’s Risk policy on a
completed value basis for the full replacement cost of the property being repaired and restored, if and when there is a structural restoration and/or major repair required at any Building. To the extent any portion of any Site is

shall not have a further Right of First Refusal unless (i) there shall be a material decrease in the purchase price from the purchase price provided in the initial Landlord’s Offer Notice or (ii) the other material economic terms of
such sale (taken as a whole) are materially more favorable to the third-party purchaser as compared to those set forth in the initial Landlord’s Offer Notice. For the purposes of this Section 46, a “material
decrease” shall mean a decrease of ten (10%) percent or more of the purchase price for the Property in the Landlord’s Offer Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall re-institute the procedure set forth in this Section
46 if Landlord fails to (x) execute and deliver a bona fide contract with a third party for the proposed sale within one hundred eighty (180) days after Tenant declines or waives (or is deemed to have waived) its Right of First
Refusal to purchase the Site or Sites or (y) consummate the proposed sale pursuant to such contract.
|
61
F. |

further force or effect with respect to such Site or Sites.
|
G. |
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant’s right to purchase the Sites pursuant to this Section 46 is and shall be subject and subordinate to any Landlord Mortgage and shall not be applicable to any foreclosure
sale, transfer by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or similar transfer of the Property or to any subsequent transfer or sale of the Sites by any Landlord Mortgagee or its nominee, in each case, whether such transfer or sale affects the Sites
or the ownership interests in Landlord.
|

|
2. |
Landlord shall have sixty (60) days from the Diligence Delivery Deadline to deliver to Tenant written notice of its election, in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, to either accept or reject the Substitution Offer. Landlord’s
failure to deliver such notice within such time period shall be deemed to constitute Landlord’s rejection of the Substitution Offer. If Landlord accepts the Substitution Offer, then Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
complete such substitution (the “Substitution”), subject, however, to the satisfaction of each of the applicable terms and conditions set forth in this Section 46.A, as determined in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion.

all of the terms and conditions of this Lease), as reasonably determined by Landlord;

Replaced Property; and
(d) be conveyed to Landlord by special or limited warranty deed, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, except such

2. |
Landlord shall have inspected and approved, in Landlord’s sole discretion, the Substitute Property utilizing Landlord’s customary site inspection and underwriting approval criteria. Tenant shall have reimbursed Landlord for all of
the actual costs and expenses incurred with respect to such proposed substitution, including, without limitation, Landlord’s and its lenders’ legal costs, third-party site inspectors’ costs and expenses with respect to the proposed
Substitute Property. Tenant shall be solely responsible for the payment of all costs and expenses resulting from such proposed Substitution, regardless of whether such substitution is consummated, including, without limitation, the cost

such Substitution and the actual attorneys’ fees and expenses of counsel to Tenant and Landlord and Landlord’s lenders;

63
3. |
Landlord shall have received a preliminary title report and irrevocable commitment to insure title by means of an ALTA extended coverage owner’s policy of title insurance acceptable to Landlord (or its equivalent, in the event such

insure Landlord’s good and marketable title in the proposed Substitute Property, subject only to the Substitute Property Permitted Exceptions;
|
4. |

|
5. |
no Event of Default shall have occurred;

6. |
Tenant shall have executed and delivered such documents as may be reasonably required by Landlord as a result of such substitution, including, without limitation, amendments to this Lease, a new SNDA and other documents required by
Landlord’s Mortgagee, and a new Memorandum of Lease (the “Substitute Documents”), all of which documents shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, Tenant and Landlord’s
Mortgagee (if applicable);
|
7. |
Tenant shall have delivered to Landlord certificates of insurance showing that insurance required by this Lease are in full force and effect; and
|
8. |
To the extent required by Landlord’s Mortgage, the Landlord Mortgagee shall have consented to the substitution of the proposed Substitute Property.
|
C. |
Upon satisfaction of the requirements and conditions to the Substitution set forth in this Section 46.A, on the next scheduled Base Monthly Rental payment date (the “Substitution Date”);
provided Tenant has paid to Landlord all Rent and all other sums and obligations then due and payable under this Lease as of the Substitution Date:
|
1. |
this Lease shall terminate solely with respect to the Replaced Property, and the Substitute Property shall be deemed Substituted for the Replaced Property hereunder;

indemnification provisions of this Lease with respect to the Replaced Property and Tenant’s obligations to pay any sums (whether payable to Landlord or a third party) accruing under this Lease with respect to the Replaced Property prior
to the Substitution Date shall survive the termination of this Lease with respect to the Replaced Property. This Lease shall, however, continue in full force and effect with respect to all other Sites; and
|
6. |
Landlord shall convey fee simple insurable title to the Replaced Property to Tenant “as-is” by special or limited warranty deed, subject to all matters of record (except for the Mortgage, if any, corresponding to the Site to be
replaced and all other matters to which Tenant has consented to or for which Tenant is obligated to satisfy under the terms of this Lease, and without representation or warranty.
|
D. |
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Section 46.A shall be of no further force or effect with respect to any Site or Sites from and after the transfer of such Site or Sites by the initial Landlord
under this Lease to a third party.
|
48. JOINT AND SEVERAL. The representations, covenants, warranties and obligations of the Tenant
hereunder are joint and several.

payable until after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. Such Taxes payable after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease shall nonetheless be the obligation of Tenant (on a prorated basis), and such
obligation shall expressly survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS AND CONDITIONS
All provisions of this Exhibit are expressly subject to the provisions in the Lease above governing any work performed by Tenant (or an Affiliate of Tenant, as the case may be) on its own behalf, including
Alterations or any casualty or condemnation restoration (“Tenant’s Work”). In the event of any conflict between the Lease and this Exhibit, the Lease shall control.
Tenant’s Work will be performed by Tenant in substantial accordance with final Plans approved by Landlord (where such approval is provided for in the Lease). Tenant’s contractor(s) shall secure and pay for all necessary permits,
inspections, certificates, legal approvals, certificates of occupancy and/or fees required by public authorities and/or utility companies with respect to Tenant’s Work.
A. General Requirements
1. |
All Tenant’s Work shall be completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with the Plans as approved by Landlord (where such approval is provided for in the Lease), the terms of the General Construction Contract and the
budget applicable to such Tenant’s Work.
|
2. |
Tenant and Tenant’s contractors shall provide all insurance required by Landlord as set forth in this Lease, or as is otherwise maintained in the ordinary course by prudent and reputable contractors and/or property owners, prior to
the start of any construction work within the Site. Landlord and Landlord Mortgagee shall each be named as an additional insured in all such insurance.
|
3. |
Tenant shall, at all times, keep or cause to be kept the Site and the surrounding area free from accumulations of waste materials and/or rubbish caused by it or its contractors’ employees or workers. Tenant and/or its contractors
shall provide dumpsters and maintenance of said dumpsters during the construction period in a secure, neat and orderly condition and shall remove and empty the same on a regular basis to avoid unsightly, obstructive or hazardous
accumulations or conditions.
|
B. Construction Procedures
1. |
When submitting construction plans and specifications (preliminary, completed or final), Tenant or Tenant’s appointed representative shall issue Tenant’s plans, specifications and supporting documents electronically via emails to
Landlord’s construction coordinator.
|
2. |
Once the applicable Plans are approved by Landlord, except for (A) changes required by governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Site or (B) interior changes requested by Tenant, and in each case which would not impair
the value of the Site, Tenant shall not amend, modify or supplement the applicable General Construction Contract in any respect, except pursuant to change orders approved by Landlord, and shall not attempt to terminate, whether by legal
proceedings or otherwise, the applicable General Construction Contract without the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
|
3. |
Not later than ninety (90) days after the Final Completion of the applicable Tenant’s Work, Tenant shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Landlord (with a copy to Landlord’s consultant) each of the following (1) a certificate
addressed to Landlord, signed by a duly authorized officer of Tenant and the applicable Architect or General Contractor (but only if such General Contractor is a design-builder for the applicable Tenant’s Work), stating that the
Tenant’s Work (and any equipment therein) including all “punch list” items have been completed and installed in accordance with the applicable Plans therefor; (2) a full and final release of liens for the Site signed by the General
Contractor and all subcontractors of the Tenant’s Work and Tenant shall, if a release is not obtainable, in lieu of such release cause such lien to be removed of record by bond or otherwise so that such lienor has no recourse for
recovery from or collection out of the Site; (3) evidence of receipt of a certificate of occupancy, if available, or comparable instruments, by all governmental authorities whose approval is required of the applicable completed Tenant’s
Work for the occupancy thereof and the intended uses thereof; (4) if applicable, a volume containing all warranties and indemnities from the applicable contractor or manufacturer for the applicable Tenant’s Work or equipment therein
(excepting therefrom any of Tenant’s Personal Property), each of which shall be enforceable by Landlord and all in customary form for the jurisdiction in which the Site is situated; (5) final as-built Plans and, in the event that the
Tenant’s Work has modified the footprint of the Building, an as-built ALTA-ACSM Land Title Survey for the Premises indicating the applicable Tenant’s Work thereon, together with a surveyor’s certification in a customary form as
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord; and (6) a title commitment dated no earlier than the date that is thirty (30) days after Final Completion and which title commitment shall not disclose any mechanics’ liens affecting the Property,
except that with respect to any bona fide dispute with the applicable General Contractor or any such subcontractor that has resulted in a lien, Tenant shall, if a release is not obtainable, in lieu of such release cause such lien to be
removed of record by bond or otherwise so that such lienor has no recourse for recovery from or collection out of the Premises.
|
4. |
Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, save harmless, pay, protect and defend Landlord from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, costs, expenses (including Landlord’s reasonable counsel fees and costs of
suit), causes of action, suits, claims, demands or judgments of any nature whatsoever under this Lease or Landlord’s ownership of the Site arising from or in connection with (a) any General Construction Contract, if any, and any and all
construction contracts or architect’s agreement or resulting from the failure of Tenant to discharge Tenant’s obligations thereunder or resulting from the failure of Tenant to perform its obligations under this Lease with respect to any
instance of Tenant’s Work, and (b) construction and completion of Tenant’s Work, whether by reason of any act or omission of Tenant, the General Contractor, Architect or by any other contractor, subcontractor or by anyone directly or
indirectly employed by any of them, or by anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable.
