the Base Rent during any prior period.
(d) Adjustments to Base Rent. The Base Rent shall be increased on January 1
of each Lease Year after the Base Rent Commencement Date (i) for the next fifteen (15) Lease
Years as follows: (A) by one and one-half percent (1.5%) for each Lease Year during the initial
five (5) Lease Year period; (B) by the greater of one and one-half percent (1.5%) or the increase
in CPI over the previous one(1)year period(with CPI capped at two percent(2%))for each Lease
Year during the next five (5) Lease Year period; (C) by the greater of one and one-half percent
(1.5%) or the increase in CPI over the previous one (1) year period (with CPI capped at two and
one-half percent(2.5%) for the next five (5) Lease Years, and (ii)thereafter for the remainder of

for the first Lease Year of the First Extension Term, the Parties shall calculate what Base Rent
would have been, commencing on the Base Rent Commencement Date and increasing the Base
Rent annually by the greater of two percent(2%) or CPI, without any cap on CPI. The resulting
amount as of the first month of the fifty-second (52"d) Lease Year shall be the Base Rent for the
first Lease Year of the First Extension Term. During the First Extension Term,Base Rent shall be
increased annually by the greater of one and one-half percent (1.5%) or CPI (capped at three
percent (3%)). For purposes of calculating Base Rent for the first Lease Year of the Second
Extension Term, the Parties shall calculate what Base Rent would have been, commencing with
the first month of the First Extension Term and increasing the Base Rent annually by the greater
of two percent (2%) or CPI, without any cap on CPI. The resulting amount as of the first month
of the seventy-fifth (75th) Lease Year shall be the Base Rent for the first Lease Year of the First
Extension Term. During the Second Extension Term, Base Rent shall increase annually by the
greater of one and one-half percent(1.5%)or CPI (capped at three percent(3%)).
(f) Additional Adjustment to Base Rent. It is the intention of Owner, and
Tenant acknowledges, that the City will derive an additional benefit from the Premises being
placed on the tax roll. Therefore,as a condition to Owner's agreement to enter into this Lease and
subject to the provisions of Section 3.5(h)hereof,Tenant agrees that the Premises shall be subject
to real estate taxes which Tenant is required to pay hereunder and Tenant shall not seek, based on
immunity from taxation, exemption from taxation, classified use, restrictive covenant, applicable
judicial limitation, local or state land use regulation, historic preservation ordinance, moratorium
or other limitation,to reduce or eliminate the assessed value of the Premises nor reduce,eliminate,
abate or defer the real estate taxes thereon except as otherwise contemplated by the proviso in the
immediately following sentence. If after the CO Date, the Premises are not subject to real estate
-24-
taxes or if the real estate taxes are reduced,waived,abated,deferred or exempted due to legislation,
judicial action or otherwise, Tenant shall, for each applicable year during the remaining Term of
this Lease and any extensions thereof, make payments to the City in lieu of real estate taxes, in an
amount equal to the City's portion for every year as if they had been imposed; provided, however,
if such real estate taxes are reduced pursuant to a contest by Tenant based on reduced Project
Revenues, and as a result thereof, the assessed value of the Premises is correspondingly reduced,
Tenant shall have no obligation to make additional payments to the City in the amount of such
reduction. Payment in lieu of real estate taxes will be added to Base Rent under this Lease. For
the purposes of this Section 3.2(f), the amount of the payment in lieu of real estate taxes for any
calendar year shall be equal to the sum of the assessed value(in use)of the Land, plus an amount
equal to the value of the Improvements determined in accordance with the assessment
methodology used for other comparable non-exempt, non-classified commercial properties in the
area multiplied by the then applicable millage rate for that calendar year.

Construction Rent Commencement Date and Base Rent Commencement Date, as applicable,
Construction Rent and Base Rent,respectively,shall be paid in monthly installments equal to one-
twelfth of the then applicable annual Construction Rent and Base Rent and shall be paid in
advance. The first monthly installment of Construction Rent shall be due and payable on the
Construction Rent Commencement Date; provided, however, if the Construction Rent
Commencement Date falls on any day other than the first day of a calendar month, Tenant shall
pay to Owner one full monthly installment of Construction Rent and one monthly installment of
Construction Rent prorated based on the actual number of days from and after the Construction
Rent Commencement Date through the end of such month,which shall be applied to Construction
Rent for the first partial calendar month and the first full calendar month after the Construction
Rent Commencement Date. Thereafter, Construction Rent shall be due and payable on the first
day of each and every calendar month during the Term until the Base Rent Commencement Date.
The first monthly installment of Base Rent shall be due and payable on the Base Rent
Commencement Date;provided,however, if the Base Rent Commencement Date falls on any day
other than the first day of a calendar month,Tenant shall pay to Owner one full monthly installment
of Base Rent and one monthly installment of Base Rent prorated based on the actual number of
days from and after the Base Rent Commencement Date through the end of such month, which
shall be applied to Base Rent for the first partial calendar month and the first full calendar month
after the Base Rent Commencement Date. Thereafter, Base Rent shall be due and payable on the
first day of each and every calendar month during the Term. For the avoidance of doubt,Tenant's
satisfaction of the Possession Conditions shall not be a condition to the occurrence of the
Construction Rent Commencement Date or the Base Rent Commencement Date.

of which shall be the CPI (a) for the calendar year during which the Effective Date occurred, or
(b) solely with respect to the adjustments for inflation for Base Rent, for the calendar year during
which the Base Rent Commencement Date occurred. All amounts subject to adjustment hereunder
shall be adjusted effective as of January 1 of each year pursuant to the formula described above. If
the CPI ceases to be published or the basis of calculating CPI is materially changed, and there is
no successor thereto, such other reasonably similar index most closely approximating the result
that would have been achieved by CPI as Owner and Tenant mutually designate shall be substituted
for the CPI. No such adjustment shall result in Base Rent being an amount that is less than the
Base Rent prior to the adjustment.
Article 6 -Use

consecutive months without failure, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay such Impositions and/or
other amounts in advance in accordance with this proviso, unless and until there are two further
failures within a thirty-six(36)month period, in which case the advance payment requirements of

this Lease for such cure, promptly following the expiration of such period (i.e., an Event of

professional manner),and(B)thereafter diligently prosecute to completion all such steps necessary
to remedy the same, it being acknowledged by Owner that, if possession or control of the Premises
is required to effect such cure, the diligent, continuous prosecution of a foreclosure or other
-62-
enforcement action that would result in possession or control of the Premises by the Recognized
Mortgage, and the continuing efforts by the Recognized Mortgagee to effect such cure following
completion of such foreclosure or such other enforcement action,shall constitute a part of the steps
necessary to remedy such Default, and during the period of such pursuit, all other obligations of
Tenant under this Lease,to the extent they are susceptible of being performed by the Recognized
Mortgagee(e.g.,payment of all Rent and Impositions),are being performed. Nothing in this Lease

indirect Equity Interests in Tenant is required to effect such cure, the diligent, continuous
prosecution of a foreclosure under the UCC of the Recognized Mezzanine Lender's security
interest in all of the direct and/or indirect Equity Interests in Tenant or other enforcement action,
and the continuing efforts by the Recognized Mezzanine Lender to effect such cure following
completion of such foreclosure or other enforcement action, shall constitute a part of the steps
necessary to remedy such Default, and during the period of such pursuit, all other obligations of
Tenant under this Lease, to the extent they are susceptible of being performed by the Recognized
Mezzanine Lender (e.g., payment of all Rent (including for the avoidance of doubt, Percentage
Rent) and Impositions), are being performed. Nothing in this Lease shall require the Recognized
Mezzanine Lender or its Designee or its UCC Transferee to cure any Default of Tenant not
reasonably susceptible of being cured by such Person(e.g., Defaults stated in Section 25.1(e),(I),
(g),(h) and (j));

Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, no payment made to Owner by the
Recognized Mortgagee or the Recognized Mezzanine Lender shall constitute such Person's
agreement that such payment was, in fact, due under the terms of this Lease.
(f) Owner's Self-Help Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this Section 11.4, if, as applicable, the Recognized Mortgagee or the Recognized Mezzanine
Lender fails (for any reason) to cure any Default by Tenant described in Section 11.4(c)(iii) or
(iv), as applicable, within the Cure Period following receipt of the Notice of Failure to Cure

Tenant from its obligations with respect to such Default. Tenant hereby grants Owner access to
the Premises in order to perform any such obligation. Any amount paid by Owner in performing
Tenant's obligations as provided in this Section 11.4(e), including all costs and expenses incurred
by Owner in connection therewith, shall constitute Rent hereunder and shall be reimbursed to

execution thereof by both Owner and such New Tenant.The New Tenant's Documents shall be at
the then current Rent and/or Impositions and otherwise contain all of the covenants, conditions,
limitations and agreements, and all of Tenant's rights and remedies, contained in this Lease
(including, without limitation, a conveyance by Owner of all then-existing Improvements) and

provided, further, such New Tenant's Documents will have the same priority over any
encumbrances on the estate of Owner which Tenant has or had by virtue of this Lease and the New
-65 -
Tenant will not have any obligation to perform any acts under this Lease which shall at such time
have already been performed by Tenant.
Concurrently with the execution and delivery of such New Tenant's Documents, Owner
shall assign to the New Tenant all of its right,title and interest in and to moneys(including,without

being held for application to the costs incurred by Owner to restore the Premises), if any,then held

this Lease or Owner's exercise of its rights upon the occurrence of an Event of Default; provided,
however, that Owner shall not be required to assign such moneys to such New Tenant unless and
until such New Tenant shall have cured all Events of Default that existed under this Lease prior to

pursuant to this Section 11.6(b), Owner shall not enter into a new lease of the Land with any
Person other than the Recognized Mortgagee or Recognized Mezzanine Lender, as applicable(or
its Designee), without the prior written consent of the Recognized Mortgagee or the Recognized
Mezzanine Lender,as applicable. The provisions of Section 11.6(b)shall survive the termination,
rejection or disaffirmance of this Lease and shall continue in full force and effect thereafter to the
same extent as if Section 11.6(b)were a separate and independent contract made by Owner,Tenant
and the Recognized Mortgagee or Recognized Mezzanine Lender, as applicable, and, from the

and delivery of the New Tenant's Documents to the extent requested and entered into in

obligation,and the Recognized Mortgagee or Recognized Mezzanine Lender,as applicable,(or its
Designee) shall have no further right, to enter into the New Tenant's Documents or to use and

Documents with the Recognized Mortgagee or the Recognized Mezzanine Lender,or its respective
Designee, shall be deemed a separate agreement between Owner and the Recognized Mortgagee
and between Owner and the Recognized Mezzanine Lender, in each case, separate and apart from

any bankruptcy proceeding by any Person.

reasonably susceptible to cure by such Recognized Mortgagee or Recognized Mezzanine Lender,
as applicable(or its applicable Designee, Foreclosure Transferee or UCC Transferee).
(d) No Waiver of Default. The execution of New Tenant's Documents shall
not constitute a waiver of any Default existing or continuing immediately before termination of

Recognized Mortgagee or Recognized Mezzanine Lender, as applicable (or its applicable
Designee, Foreclosure Transferee or UCC Transferee) (e.g., the insolvency of Tenant), the New
Tenant under the New Tenant's Documents shall cure, within the applicable periods in such New
Tenant's Documents(which periods shall be identical to the periods set forth in Section 25.1), all
Defaults existing under this Lease immediately before its termination. Nothing in this Lease shall

applicable Designee, Foreclosure Transferee or UCC Transferee),as a condition to the exercise of
its right to enter into New Tenant's Documents, to cure any Default of Tenant not reasonably
susceptible of being cured by such Person (e.g., a bankruptcy-related Default of Tenant).

Mezzanine Lender, as applicable (or its applicable Designee, Foreclosure Transferee or UCC
Transferee) shall enter into New Tenant's Documents pursuant to this Article and if, upon such
termination of this Lease, Tenant, but for such termination, would have been entitled to receive
any amount pursuant to the provisions of this Lease,then Owner agrees that, subject to any rights
of setoff Owner may have, the same shall be paid to the Recognized Mortgagee or Recognized
Mezzanine Lender, as applicable (or its applicable Designee, Foreclosure Transferee or UCC
Transferee), as the New Tenant under the New Tenant's Documents, in the same manner and to

hereinafter defined) is commenced which subjects Owner to any stay in the exercise of Owner's
rights and remedies under this Lease, including the automatic stay imposed by section 362 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code(individually and collectively, "Stay"),then, provided the Stay is
lifted and released as to the Recognized Mortgagees and Recognized Mezzanine Lender (to the
extent the applicable mortgage and mezzanine loan documents include Stay relief provisions),
Tenant irrevocably consents and agrees to the Stay being lifted and released against Owner, and
Owner shall thereafter be entitled to exercise all of its rights and remedies against Tenant under
this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that it is knowingly, voluntarily, and intentionally waiving its
rights to any Stay and agrees that the benefits provided to Tenant under the terms of this Lease are
valuable consideration for such waiver. As used in this Section,the term"Bankruptcy or Judicial
Action" shall mean any voluntary or involuntary case filed by or against Tenant under the
Bankruptcy Code, or any voluntary or involuntary petition in composition, readjustment,
liquidation, or dissolution, or any state and federal bankruptcy law action filed by or against

Owner adequate assurance of future performance which shall consist of evidence that such

summary proceedings, writ of possession, proceedings in bankruptcy court or otherwise, subject
to applicable Requirements.

(e) If this Lease is terminated as provided in Section 25.2(a):
(i) Tenant shall pay to Owner all Rent and/or Impositions payable under
this Lease by Tenant to Owner to the date upon which the Term shall have expired and come to an
end and Tenant shall quit and peaceably surrender to Owner Tenant's Interest in the Premises(and
possession thereof)in the condition required by this Lease,and both Parties shall be relieved of all
further obligations hereunder, except to the extent this Lease expressly provides that an obligation
hereunder shall survive the Expiration of the Term;and
(ii) In no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any credit or payment
with respect to the value of the Land and Improvements, title to which shall automatically vest in
Owner upon such termination.
Section 25.4 Waiver of Rights of Tenant and Owner.
To the extent not prohibited by law,Owner and Tenant hereby waive and release all rights
now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise that would have the effect of limiting or
modifying any of the provisions of this Article. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner shall not
be deemed to have waived or released any rights conferred by any sovereign immunity conferred
by statute or otherwise, as provided in Section 19.2(c) hereof.
Section 25.5 Receipt of Moneys After Notice or Termination.
No receipt of money by Owner from Tenant after the termination of this Lease,or after the
giving of any notice of the termination of this Lease, shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term
or affect any notice theretofore given to Tenant, or operate as a waiver of the right of Owner to
recover Tenant's Interest in the Premises (which may include, but not be limited to, recovering
possession of the Premises) by proper remedy. After the service of notice to terminate this Lease
or the commencement of any suit or summary proceedings or after a final order or judgment for
the possession of Tenant's Interest in the Premises (which may include, but not be limited to, a
judgment for possession of the Premises), Owner may demand, receive and collect any moneys
due or thereafter falling due without in any manner affecting the notice, proceeding,order, suit or
judgment,all such moneys collected being deemed payments on account of the use and occupation
of Tenant's Interest in the Premises (including, without limitation, the use and occupation of the
Premises) or, at the election of Owner, on account of Tenant's liability hereunder.
Section 25.6 No Waiver.
No failure by Owner or Tenant to insist upon strict performance of any covenant,
agreement, term or condition of this Lease or to exercise any right or remedy available to such
Party by reason of the other Party's default or an Event of Default, and no payment or acceptance
of full or partial Rent and/or Impositions during the continuance (or with Owner's knowledge of
the occurrence) of any Default or Event of Default, shall constitute a waiver of any such Default
or Event of Default or of such covenant, agreement, term or condition or of any other covenant,
agreement,term or condition. Subject to Section 11.11,no covenant,agreement,term or condition
of this Lease to be performed or complied with by either Party,and no default by either Party,shall
-93 -
be waived, altered or modified except by a written instrument executed by the other Party. No
waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall affect or alter this Lease, but each and every
covenant, agreement,term and condition of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect with
respect to any other then existing or subsequent Default. Payment by Tenant to Owner of any Rent
and/or Impositions shall be without prejudice to,and shall not constitute a waiver of, any rights of
Tenant against Owner provided for under this Lease or at law or in equity. Tenant's compliance
with any request or demand made by Owner shall not be deemed a waiver of Tenant's right to
contest the validity of such request or demand.
Section 25.7 Right to Enjoin Defaults.

enjoin the Default or Event of Default and shall have the right to invoke any rights and remedies
allowed at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, except to the extent Owner's remedies are
expressly limited by the terms hereof. In the event of any default by Owner of any term,covenant
or condition under this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to invoke any rights and remedies
allowed at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, except to the extent Tenant's remedies are
expressly limited by the terms hereof. Provided however, in the event of any such default,Tenant
shall be required to give Owner notice of such default and Owner shall have thirty(30)days from
receipt of such notice to effect a cure of such default or if such default is not reasonably susceptible
of being cured within such thirty (30) day period, Owner shall have a reasonable time to effect a
cure of such default so long as Owner is diligently prosecuting such cure. Each right and remedy
of Owner and Tenant provided for in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to
every other right or remedy provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity or by statute or otherwise except to the extent Owner's remedies and Tenant's remedies are
expressly limited by the terms hereof, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Owner or
Tenant of any one or more of the rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous or later
exercise by Owner or Tenant of any or all other rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or
now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise,except to the extent Owner's
remedies and Tenant's remedies are expressly limited by the terms hereof.

to a Governmental Authority and Owner is not in danger of being subjected to criminal liability or
penalty or civil liability or penalty in excess of the amount for which Tenant has furnished security
as provided in Section 32.2(b) by reason of nonpayment thereof; and
(b) Tenant has deposited with the Recognized Mortgagee, if any(or if not,with
a third party escrow agent proposed by Tenant,subject to Owner's consent,not to be unreasonably
withheld (failure to respond within fifteen (15) days after notice being conclusively deemed
approval)), cash in the amount so contested and unpaid or, alternatively, at Tenant's option, a
surety company bond or an irrevocable letter of credit issued by an Institutional Lender(in form
reasonably satisfactory to Owner) or other security(for example, a personal guaranty)reasonably
satisfactory to Owner, in the amount so contested and unpaid, together with all interest and
penalties in connection therewith and all charges relating to such contested Imposition that may or
might, in Owner's reasonable judgment,be assessed against, or become a charge on,the Premises
or any part thereof in or during the pendency of such proceedings; provided,however,any amount

Owner(the intent being that Tenant shall not be required to make duplicitous deposits under this

(subject to the terms of any agreement between Tenant and the Recognized Mortgagee or escrow
agent) return the same, together with the interest, if any, earned thereon. However, if such
Recognized Mortgagee or escrow agent is so requested by Tenant, such Recognized Mortgagee or
escrow agent shall disburse said moneys on deposit with it directly to the Person to whom or to
which such Imposition is payable. If at any time during the continuance of such proceedings
Owner, in its reasonable judgment, deems insufficient the amount or nature of the security
deposited,Tenant,within ten(10)days after Owner's demand, shall make an additional deposit of
such additional sums or other acceptable security as Owner may request, and upon failure of
Tenant to so do,the amount theretofore deposited,together with the interest,if any,earned thereon,
shall, upon demand by Owner, be applied by such Recognized Mortgagee or escrow agent to the
payment, removal and discharge of such Imposition and the interest and penalties in connection
therewith and any costs, fees (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements) or other liability accruing in any such proceedings and the balance, if any,
remaining thereafter, together with the interest, if any, earned thereon and remaining after
application by Owner as aforesaid, shall be returned to Tenant or to the Person entitled to receive
it.If there is a deficiency,Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Owner or the Person entitled to receive
it, within ten(10)days after Owner's demand.

thereof. During such contest, compliance with any such contested Requirement may be deferred
by Tenant provided that before instituting any such proceeding, Tenant shall furnish such
Recognized Mortgagee, if any (or if not, with a third party escrow agent proposed by Tenant,
subject to Owner's consent,not to be unreasonably withheld(failure to respond within fifteen(15)
days after notice being conclusively deemed approval)), with a surety company bond or,
alternatively at Tenant's option, a cash deposit, an irrevocable letter of credit issued by an
Institutional Lender or other security (e.g., a personal guaranty), in form and amount reasonably
satisfactory to Owner, securing compliance with the contested Requirement and payment of all
interest, penalties, fines, civil liabilities, fees and expenses in connection therewith; provided,
however, any amount deposited with any governmental entity, the making of which deposit is
required by law in order for Tenant to contest such matters, shall be considered part of the amount
so required of Tenant by Owner (the intent being that Tenant shall not be required to make
duplicitous deposits under this Section 32.3). Any such proceeding instituted by Tenant shall be
commenced as soon as possible after the issuance of any such contested Requirement and shall be
prosecuted with diligence to final adjudication, settlement, compliance or other mutually
acceptable disposition of the Requirement so contested. The furnishing of any bond,deposit,letter
of credit or other security notwithstanding, Tenant shall comply with any such Requirement in
accordance with the provisions of Section 15.1 if, in Owner's reasonable judgment, (i)
noncompliance therewith would create an emergency condition involving the health or safety of
persons, (ii) the Premises, or any part thereof, are in material danger of being forfeited to an
authority (other than Owner when the City or an instrumentality thereof is Owner)or(iii) Owner
is in danger of being subjected to criminal liability or penalty, or civil liability in excess of the
amount for which Tenant shall have furnished security as hereinabove provided by reason of
noncompliance therewith, and any security posted by Tenant shall (subject to the terms of any
agreement between Tenant and the Recognized Mortgagee or escrow agent)be returned to Tenant
with any interest accrued thereon.

such action or proceeding be brought by and/or in the name of Owner. If so required,Owner shall
join and cooperate in such proceedings or permit them to be brought by Tenant in Owner's name,
in which case Tenant shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by Owner in connection therewith. Notwithstanding

4. Neither the proposed transferee nor any other Person that directly or
indirectly controls the proposed transferee (or that will, following the proposed transfer, directly
or indirectly control the proposed transferee) will have violated any laws resulting in a forfeiture
of such proposed transferee's or other Person's entire interest in real property owned or managed
by such transferee or other Person.
5. The proposed transferee must not(nor any of the individuals or entities who
own at least a twenty percent (20%) equity interest in such proposed transferee or are officers,

such proposed transferee)have voluntarily filed or been discharged from bankruptcy,or have been
the subject of an involuntary bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceedings (which was

Paragraph A above are collectively defined as the"Acceptable Owner Criteria."
C. Evaluation of the Acceptable Owner Criteria:
Solely for the purpose of evaluating whether the proposed transferee has met the Acceptable
Owner Criteria,the proposed transferee shall provide the following information to the Tenant and
certify that the information provided by the proposed transferee is true and correct and that the
proposed transferee meets or exceeds the Acceptable Owner Criteria:
1. information sufficient for Owner or any outside vendor engaged by Owner
to perform a due diligence investigation pursuant to Paragraph D below, including copies of any
applicable operating licenses;
2. identification and summary description of its principals and its major real
estate or other investments;
3. a list of all bankruptcies filed by such proposed transferee or to which such

by Tenant, to establish that the new entity proposed to be the Acceptable Owner meets the
Acceptable Owner Criteria.
D. With respect to any proposed transfer to a proposed transferee, Owner may, at its
sole discretion, engage an outside vendor to perform a due diligence investigation at the Tenant's
or such proposed transferee's sole expense, which may include a search of civil, criminal, or
bankruptcy proceedings in federal and state jurisdictions; regulatory filings; tax filings; lien,
judgment and Uniform Commercial Code searches; business registrations, and the like; provided,
however,that Owner's right to conduct its own due diligence shall not expand or deemed to expand
the Acceptable Owner Criteria or impose additional criteria with respect to whether a proposed
transferee constitutes an Acceptable Owner. Owner shall be entitled to engage an independent
accounting firm, the reasonable costs of which shall be borne by Tenant or such proposed
transferee, to review the information upon which the proposed transferee's certifications were
based, for the purpose of determining whether the certifications and/or information provided to
Owner is accurate and complete. Tenant shall, or shall cause such proposed transferee to,
reimburse Owner, upon demand, for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Owner in

reasonable out-of-pocket costs of making inquiries and investigations into the conformance with
the Acceptable Owner Criteria of such proposed transferee and the reasonable legal costs incurred,

E. Confirmation/Approval Process for proposed transferees:
Regarding the City's confirmation that a proposed transferee is an Acceptable Owner,or Owner's
approval of a transfer that is not a Permitted Transfer or a Permitted Sale,the Parties hereby agree
that:
1. When reviewing a potential transfer for compliance with the Acceptable
Owner criteria,the City Manager shall make a recommendation to the City Commission in reliance
on the proposed transferee's certification that the proposed transferee meets the Acceptable Owner
Criteria(if a Permitted Transfer or a Permitted Sale), along with the information provided by the
proposed transferee and the results of any due diligence investigation performed by Owner. If the
City Manager does not recommend that the proposed transferee meets the Acceptable Owner
Criteria,the City Manager shall provide to Tenant,upon Tenant's written request,specific written,
commercially reasonable reasons for such action.
2. The City Commission shall not unreasonably withhold the City's
confirmation of a Permitted Transfer or a Permitted Sale if the proposed transferee complies with
the Acceptable Owner Criteria.
3. The City Manager may, but shall not be obligated to, make any
recommendation for the City's approval of a transfer that is not a Permitted Transfer or a proposed
Sale of the Project that is not a Permitted Sale,and provided that any such transfer shall be subject
to the prior written approval of the City Commission, which may be granted, conditioned, or
withheld by the City Commission in its sole discretion;and
4. If a proposed transfer requires Owner's confirmation or approval, Tenant
shall deliver written notice to Owner,which shall include(i)the name and address of the proposed
transferee; (ii) the name and address of the proposed transferor; (iii) information describing the
nature of the transaction; (iv) the percentage interest being conveyed; and (iv) the materials
described in Paragraph C above.
5. Owner shall have up to sixty (60) days after the delivery of such written
notice and the information required under Paragraph C above, to determine whether, on a
commercially reasonable basis,the proposed transferee meets the Acceptable Owner Criteria,and
is a Permitted Transfer or a Permitted Sale. Owner shall have up to ninety (90) days after the
delivery of such written notice and the information required under Paragraph C above whether to
Approve in accordance herewith a transfer that is not a Permitted Transfer or a Permitted Sale.
6. Provided that no Event of Default is then continuing, Tenant's request for
confirmation that the proposed transferee meets the Acceptable Owner Criteria shall be deemed
confirmed if the first correspondence from Tenant to Owner requesting such confirmation is in an
envelope marked "PRIORITY" and, to the extent permitted by the carrier, bears the following
legend: "FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST WITHIN 60 DAYS FROM THE
DATE OF THIS NOTICE WILL REQUEST IN THE REQUEST BEING DEEMED
CONFIRMED"and contains a bold-faced,conspicuous(in a font size that is not less than fourteen
(14)) legend at the top of the first page thereof stating that "THIS IS A REQUEST FOR
CONFIRMATION OF A PERMITTED [TRANSFER] [SALE] UNDER
SECTION [ ] OF THE AGREEMENT OF GROUND LEASE, DATED AS
OF [ ], 2022, AND FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS
REQUEST WITHIN SIXTY (60) DAYS WILL RESULT IN THE REQUEST
BEING DEEMED CONFIRMED"and is accompanied by the information and documents
required above and Owner fails to respond or to deny such request for confirmation in writing
within such sixty(60) day period. Provided that no Event of Default is then continuing,Tenant's
request for approval of a transfer that is not a Permitted Transfer or a Permitted Sale shall be
deemed approved (except if the request includes a Foreign Instrumentality as a transferee) if the
first correspondence from Tenant to the City requesting such approval is in an envelope marked
"PRIORITY"and,to the extent permitted by the carrier,bears the following legend: "FAILURE
TO RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST WITHIN 90 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF THIS
NOTICE WILL REQUEST IN THE REQUEST BEING DEEMED CONFIRMED" and
contains a bold-faced, conspicuous (in a font size that is not less than fourteen (14)) legend at the
top of the first page thereof stating that"THIS IS A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF
A TRANSFER UNDER SECTION [ ] OF THE AGREEMENT OF
GROUND LEASE, DATED AS OF [ ], 2022, AND
FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST WITHIN NINETY(90)DAYS
WILL RESULT IN THE REQUEST BEING DEEMED APPROVED,
PROVIDED IF THE REQUEST INCLUDES A FOREIGN
INSTRUMENTALITY AS A TRANSFEREE, THE CITY'S FAILURE TO
RESPOND IN THE AFFIRMATIVE WITHIN NINETY (90) DAYS SHALL
BE DEEMED A REJECTION OF THE REQUEST" and is accompanied by the
information and documents required above and Owner fails to respond or to deny such request for
approval in writing within such ninety (90) day period. For the avoidance of doubt, if Owner has
not notified Tenant, in writing, of the City Commission's approval of a transfer that includes a
Foreign Instrumentality as a transferee within the ninety(90)day period specified above,then such
request shall be deemed rejected.
7. If Owner notifies Tenant, in writing,within the first thirty(30)days of such
sixty (60) or ninety (90) day period, as applicable, that the information submitted is, on a
commercially reasonable basis, incomplete, or insufficient (and specifies in what ways it is
incomplete or insufficient), then Tenant shall supplement such information, on a commercially
reasonable basis,and Owner shall then have thirty(30)days or sixty(60)days,respectively, after
such supplemental information is provided to make its determination whether the proposed
transferee meets the Acceptable Owner Criteria or to approve a transfer that is not a Permitted
Transfer or a Permitted Sale.
8. No confirmation by Owner of a proposed transferee as an Acceptable
Owner or its meeting of the Acceptable Owner Criteria shall have the effect of waiving or
estopping Owner from later claiming that said Acceptable Owner is no longer developing,
operating or maintaining the Project according to the terms of this Lease.
F. Interpretation:
1. All acts and omissions as well as rights and duties shall be done in a
commercially reasonable manner,unless the standard of"sole discretion" is used.

expressly adopted.
