("EFFECTIVE DATE" and other capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Agreement are intended to have the meanings assigned to them in the Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement (Phase V - Improvements) executed by BNPLC and NAI contemporaneously with this Agreement. By this reference, the Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement (Phase V - Improvements) is incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement for all purposes.) RECITALS Pursuant to the Existing Contract, which covers the Land described in Exhibit A, BNPLC is acquiring the Land and any appurtenances thereto and the existing Improvements thereon from Seller contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement. Pursuant to the Lease Agreement (Phase V - Improvements) (the "IMPROVEMENTS LEASE") and the Construction Management Agreement (the "Construction Management Agreement"), each executed by BNPLC and NAI contemporaneously with this Agreement, BNPLC is agreeing to provide funding for the construction and completion of Improvements on the Land, all of which will be owned by BNPLC, and BNPLC is leasing the Improvements to NAI. (All of BNPLC's interests, including those created by the documents delivered at the closing under the Existing Contracts, in the Improvements and in all other real and personal property from time to time covered by the Improvements Lease and included within the "Property" as defined therein are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "PROPERTY". The Property does not include the fee estate in the Land itself, it being understood that the Other Purchase Agreement constitutes a separate agreement providing for the possible sale of the Land and the appurtenances thereto, and only the Land and the appurtenances thereto, from BNPLC to NAI or a third party designated by NAI.) NAI and BNPLC have reached agreement upon the terms and conditions upon which NAI will purchase or arrange for the purchase of the Property, and by this Agreement they desire to evidence such agreement. AGREEMENTS 1. NAI'S OPTIONS AND OBLIGATIONS ON THE DESIGNATED SALE DATE. (A) Right to Purchase; Right and Obligation to Remarket. Whether or not an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or the Improvements Lease shall have been terminated, but subject to Paragraph 4 below: 5 (1) NAI shall have the right (the "PURCHASE OPTION") to purchase or cause an Affiliate of NAI to purchase the Property and BNPLC's interest in Escrowed Proceeds, if any, on the Designated Sale Date for a cash price equal to the Break Even Price (as defined below). (2) If neither NAI nor an Affiliate of NAI purchases the Property and BNPLC's interest in any Escrowed Proceeds on the Designated Sale Date as provided in the preceding subparagraph 1(A)(1), then NAI shall have the following rights and obligations (collectively, "NAI'S INITIAL REMARKETING RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS"): (a) First, NAI shall have the right (but not the obligation) to cause an Applicable Purchaser who is not an Affiliate of NAI to purchase the Property and BNPLC's interest in any Escrowed Proceeds on the Designated Sale Date for a cash purchase price (the "THIRD PARTY PRICE") determined as provided below. If, however, the Break Even Price exceeds the sum of any Third Party Price tendered or to be tendered to BNPLC by an Applicable Purchaser and any Supplemental Payment paid by NAI as described below, then BNPLC may affirmatively elect to decline such tender from the Applicable Purchaser and to keep the Property and any Escrowed Proceeds rather than sell to the Applicable Purchaser pursuant to this subparagraph (a "VOLUNTARY RETENTION OF THE PROPERTY"). (b) Second, if the Third Party Price actually paid by an Applicable Purchaser to BNPLC on the Designated Sale Date exceeds the Break Even Price, NAI shall be entitled to such excess, subject, however, to BNPLC's right to offset against such excess any and all sums that are then due from NAI to BNPLC under the other Operative Documents. (c) Third, if for any reason whatsoever (including a Voluntary Retention of the Property or a decision by NAI not to exercise its right to purchase or cause an Applicable Purchaser to purchase from BNPLC as described above) neither NAI nor an Applicable Purchaser pays a net cash price to BNPLC on the Designated Sale Date equal to or in excess of the Break Even Price in connection with a sale of the Property and BNPLC's interest in any Escrowed Proceeds pursuant to this Agreement, then NAI shall have the obligation to pay to BNPLC on the Designated Sale Date a supplemental payment (the "SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENT") equal to the lesser of (1) the amount by which the Break Even Price exceeds such net cash price (if any) actually received by BNPLC on the Designated Sale Date (such excess being hereinafter called a "DEFICIENCY") or (2) the Maximum Remarketing Obligation. As used herein, the "MAXIMUM REMARKETING OBLIGATION" means a dollar amount determined in accordance with the following provisions: 1) The "MAXIMUM REMARKETING OBLIGATION" will equal the product of (i) Stipulated Loss Value on the Designated Sale Date, times (ii) 100% minus the Residual Risk Percentage, provided that both of the following conditions are satisfied: 2 6 (x) NAI shall not have elected to accelerate the Designated Sale Date as provided in clause (2) of the definition of Designated Sale Date in the Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement (Phase V - Improvements). (y) No Event of Default, other than an Issue 97-1 Non-performance-related Subjective Event of Default, shall occur on or be continuing on the Designated Sale Date. 2) If either of the conditions listed in subparagraph 1) preceding are not satisfied, the "MAXIMUM REMARKETING OBLIGATION" will equal the Break Even Price. If any Supplemental Payment or other amount payable to BNPLC pursuant to this subparagraph 1(A) is not actually paid to BNPLC on the Designated Sale Date, NAI shall pay interest on the past due amount computed at the Default Rate from the Designated Sale Date. (B) Determinations Concerning Price. (1) Determination of the Break Even Price. As used herein, "BREAK EVEN PRICE" means an amount equal, on the Designated Sale Date, to Stipulated Loss Value, plus all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including appraisal costs, withholding taxes (if any) not constituting Excluded Taxes, and Attorneys' Fees) incurred by BNPLC in connection with any sale of BNPLC's interests in the Property under this Agreement or in connection with collecting payments due hereunder, and plus an amount equal to the Balance of Unpaid Construction-Period Indemnity Payments, but less the aggregate amounts (if any) of Direct Payments to Participants and Deposit Taker Losses. As used herein, the "Balance of Unpaid Construction-Period Indemnity Payments" means an amount equal to the sum of Construction-Period Indemnity Payments, if any, that NAI declined to pay pursuant to subparagraph 5(d)(ii) of the Improvements Lease, plus interest accruing at the Default Rate, compounded annually, on each such payment from the date such payment would have become due but for NAI's right to decline to pay it as described in subparagraph 5(d)(ii) of the Improvements Lease. If, however, Losses for which NAI has so declined to pay any Construction-Period Indemnity Payment consist of claims against BNPLC or another Interested Party that have not been liquidated prior to the Designated Sale Date (and, thus, such Losses have yet to be fixed in amount as of the Designated Sale Date), then NAI may elect to exclude any Construction-Period Indemnity Payment attributable to such Losses by providing to BNPLC, for the benefit of BNPLC and other Interested Parties, a written agreement to indemnify and defend BNPLC and other Interested Parties against such Losses. To be effective hereunder for purposes of reducing the Balance of Unpaid Construction-Period Indemnity Payments (and, thus, the Break Even Price), any such written indemnity must be fully executed and delivered by NAI on or prior to the Designated Sale Date, must include provisions comparable to subparagraphs 5(c)(ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) of the Improvements Lease and otherwise must be in form and substance satisfactory to BNPLC. 3 7 (2) Determination of Third Party Price. The Third Party Price required of any Applicable Purchaser purchasing from BNPLC under subparagraph 1(A)(2)(a) will be determined as follows: (a) NAI may give a notice (a "REMARKETING NOTICE") to BNPLC and to each of the Participants no earlier than one hundred twenty days before the Designated Sale Date and no later than ninety days before the Designated Sale Date, specifying an amount as the Third Party Price that NAI believes in good faith to constitute reasonably equivalent value for the Property and any Escrowed Proceeds. Once given, a Remarketing Notice shall not be rescinded or modified without BNPLC's written consent. (b) If BNPLC believes in good faith that the Third Party Price specified by NAI in a Remarketing Notice does not constitute reasonably equivalent value for the Property and any Escrowed Proceeds, BNPLC may at any time before sixty days prior to the Designated Sale Date respond to the Remarketing Notice with a notice back to NAI, objecting to the Third Party Price so specified by NAI. If BNPLC receives a Remarketing Notice, yet does not respond with an objection as provided in the preceding sentence, the Third Party Price suggested by NAI in the Remarketing Notice will be the Third Party Price for purposes of this Agreement. If, however, BNPLC does respond with an objection as provided in this subparagraph, and if NAI and BNPLC do not otherwise agree in writing upon a Third Party Price, then the Third Party Price will be the lesser of (I) fair market value of the Property, plus the amount of any Escrowed Proceeds, as determined by a professional independent appraiser satisfactory to BNPLC, or (II) the Break Even Price. (c) If for any reason, including an acceleration of the Designated Sale Date as provided in the definition thereof in the Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement (Phase V - Improvements), NAI does not deliver a Remarketing Notice to BNPLC within the time period specified above, then the Third Party Price will be an amount determined in good faith by BNPLC as constituting reasonably equivalent value for the Property and any Escrowed Proceeds, but in no event more than the Break Even Price. If any payment to BNPLC by an Applicable Purchaser hereunder is held to constitute a preference or a voidable transfer under Applicable Law, or must for any other reason be refunded by BNPLC to the Applicable Purchaser or to another Person, and if such payment to BNPLC reduced or had the effect of reducing a Supplemental Payment or increased or had the effect of increasing any excess sale proceeds paid to NAI pursuant to subparagraph 1(A)(2)(b) or pursuant to subparagraph 2(D), then NAI shall pay to BNPLC upon demand an amount equal to the reduction of the Supplemental Payment or to the increase of the excess sale proceeds paid to NAI, as applicable, and this Agreement shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated as necessary to permit BNPLC to enforce its right to collect such amount from NAI. 4 8 (C) Designation of the Purchaser. To give BNPLC the opportunity before the Designated Sale Date to prepare the deed and other documents that BNPLC must tender pursuant to Paragraph 3 (collectively, the "SALE CLOSING DOCUMENTS"), NAI must, by a notice to BNPLC given at least seven days prior to the Designated Sale Date, specify irrevocably, unequivocally and with particularity the party who will purchase the Property in order to satisfy the obligations of NAI set forth in subparagraph 1(A). If for any reason NAI fails to so specify a party who will in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein purchase the Property (be it NAI itself, an Affiliate of NAI or another Applicable Purchaser), BNPLC shall be entitled to postpone the tender of the Sale Closing Documents until a date after the Designated Sale Date and not more than twenty days after NAI finally does so specify a party, but such postponement will not relieve or postpone the obligation of NAI to make a Supplemental Payment on the Designated Sale Date as provided in Paragraph 1(A)(2)(c). (D) Effect of the Purchase Option and NAI's Initial Remarketing Rights and Obligations on Subsequent Title Encumbrances. Any conveyance of the Property to NAI or any Applicable Purchaser pursuant to this Paragraph 1(A) shall cut off and terminate any interest in the Improvements or other Property claimed by, through or under BNPLC, including any interest claimed by the Participants and including any Liens Removable by BNPLC (such as, but not limited to, any judgment liens established against the Property because of a judgment rendered against BNPLC and any leasehold or other interests conveyed by BNPLC in the ordinary course of BNPLC's business), but not including personal obligations of NAI to BNPLC under the Improvements Lease or other Operative Documents (including obligations arising under the indemnities therein). Anyone accepting or taking any interest in the Property by or through BNPLC after the date of this Agreement shall acquire such interest subject to the Purchase Option and NAI's Initial Remarketing Rights and Obligations. Further, NAI and any Applicable Purchaser shall be entitled to pay any payment required by this Agreement for the purchase of the Property directly to BNPLC notwithstanding any prior conveyance or assignment by BNPLC, voluntary or otherwise, of any right or interest in this Agreement or the Property, and neither NAI nor any Applicable Purchaser shall be responsible for the proper distribution or application of any such payments by BNPLC; and any such payment to BNPLC shall discharge the obligation of NAI to cause such payment to all Persons claiming an interest in such payment. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the parties shall record a memorandum of this Agreement for purposes of effecting constructive notice to all Persons of NAI's rights under this Agreement, including its rights under this subparagraph. (E) Security for the Purchase Option and NAI's Initial Remarketing Rights and Obligations. To secure BNPLC's obligation to sell the Property pursuant to Paragraph 1(A) and to pay any damages to NAI caused by a breach of such obligations, including any such breach caused by a rejection or termination of this Agreement in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding instituted by or against BNPLC, as debtor, BNPLC does hereby grant to NAI a lien and security interest against all rights, title and interests of BNPLC from time to time in and to the Improvements and other Property. NAI may enforce such lien and security interest judicially after any such breach by BNPLC, but not otherwise. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, NAI and BNPLC will execute a memorandum of this Agreement which is in recordable form and which specifically references the lien granted in this subparagraph, and NAI shall be entitled to record such memorandum at any time prior to the Designated Sale Date. 5 9 (F) Delivery of Books and Records If BNPLC Retains the Property. Unless NAI or its Affiliate or another Applicable Purchaser purchases the Property pursuant to Paragraph 1(A), promptly after the Designated Sale Date NAI shall deliver to BNPLC copies of all plans and specifications for the Property prepared in connection with the construction contemplated by the Construction Management Agreement and the Improvements Lease, together with all other books and records of NAI which will be necessary or useful to any future owner's or occupant's use of the Property in the manner permitted by the Improvements Lease. 2. NAI'S RIGHTS AND OPTIONS AFTER THE DESIGNATED SALE DATE. (A) NAI's Extended Right to Remarket. During the two years following the Designated Sale Date ("NAI'S EXTENDED REMARKETING PERIOD"), NAI shall have the right ("NAI'S EXTENDED REMARKETING RIGHT") to cause an Applicable Purchaser who is not an Affiliate of NAI to purchase the Property for a cash purchase price not below the lesser of (I) the Minimum Extended Remarketing Price (as defined below), or (II) if applicable, the Third Party Target Price (as defined below) specified in any Third Party Sale Notice (as defined below) given by BNPLC pursuant to subparagraph 2(C)(2) within the ninety days prior to the date (the "FINAL SALE DATE") upon which BNPLC receives such purchase price from the Applicable Purchaser. NAI's Extended Remarketing Right shall, however, be subject to all of the following conditions: (1) The Property and BNPLC's interest in Escrowed Proceeds, if any, shall not have been sold on the Designated Sale Date as provided in Paragraph 1. (2) No Voluntary Retention of the Property shall have occurred as described in subparagraph 1(A)(2)(a). (3) NAI's Extended Remarketing Right shall not have been terminated pursuant to subparagraph 4(D) below because of NAI's failure to make any Supplemental Payment required on the Designated Sale Date. (4) NAI's Extended Remarketing Right shall not have been terminated by BNPLC pursuant to subparagraph 4(E) below to facilitate BNPLC's sale of the Property to a third party in accordance with subparagraph 2(C) (5) At least thirty days prior to the Final Sale Date, NAI shall have notified BNPLC of (x) the date proposed by NAI as the Final Sale Date (which must be a Business Day), (y) the full legal name of the Applicable Purchaser and such other information as will be required to prepare the Sale Closing Documents, and (z) the amount of the purchase price that the Applicable Purchaser will pay (consistent with the minimum required pursuant to the other provisions of this subparagraph 2(A)) for the Property. (B) Definition of Minimum Extended Remarketing Price. As used herein, "MINIMUM EXTENDED REMARKETING PRICE" means an amount equal to the sum of the following: 6 10 (1) the amount by which the Break Even Price computed on the Designated Sale Date exceeds any Supplemental Payment actually paid to BNPLC on the Designated Sale Date, together with interest on such excess computed at the Default Rate from the period commencing on the Designated Sale Date and ending on the Final Sale Date, plus (2) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including withholding taxes [if any], other than Excluded Taxes, and Attorneys' Fees) incurred by BNPLC in connection with the sale to the Applicable Purchaser, to the extent not already included in the computation of Break Even Price, and plus (3) the sum of all Impositions, insurance premiums and other Losses of every kind suffered or incurred by BNPLC or any other Interested Party with respect to the ownership, operation or maintenance of the Property on or after the Designated Sale Date (except to the extent already reimbursed by any lessee of the Property after the Designated Sale Date), together with interest on such Impositions, insurance premiums and other Losses computed at the Default Rate from the date paid or incurred to the Final Sale Date. If, however, Losses described in the preceding clause (3) consist of claims against BNPLC or another Interested Party that have not been liquidated prior to the Final Sale Date (and, thus, such Losses have yet to be fixed in amount as of the Final Sale Date), then NAI may elect to exclude any such Losses from the computation of the Minimum Extended Remarketing Price by providing to BNPLC, for the benefit of BNPLC and other Interested Parties, a written agreement to indemnify and defend BNPLC and other Interested Parties against such Losses. To be effective hereunder for purposes of reducing the Minimum Extended Remarketing Price (and, thus, the Break Even Price), any such written indemnity must be fully executed and delivered by NAI on or prior to the Final Sale Date, must include provisions comparable to subparagraphs 5(c)(ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) of the Improvements Lease and otherwise must be in form and substance satisfactory to BNPLC. (C) BNPLC's Right to Sell. After the Designated Sale Date, if the Property has not already been sold by BNPLC pursuant to Paragraph 1 or this Paragraph 2, BNPLC shall have the right to sell the Property or offer the Property for sale to any third party on any terms believed to be appropriate by BNPLC in its sole good faith business judgment; provided, however, that so long as the conditions to NAI's Extended Remarketing Rights specified in subparagraph 2(A) continue to be satisfied: (1) BNPLC shall not sell the Property to an Affiliate of BNPLC on terms less favorable than those which BNPLC would require from a prospective purchaser not an Affiliate of BNPLC; (2) If BNPLC receives or desires to make a written proposal (whether in the form of a "letter of intent" or other nonbinding expression of interest or in the form of a more definitive purchase and sale agreement) for a sale of the Property to a prospective purchaser (a "THIRD PARTY SALE PROPOSAL"), and if on the basis of such Third 7 11 Party Sale Proposal BNPLC expects to enter into or to pursue negotiations for a definitive purchase and sale agreement with the prospective purchaser, then prior to executing any such definitive agreement, BNPLC shall submit the Third Party Sale Proposal to NAI with a notice (the "THIRD PARTY SALE NOTICE") explaining that (A) BNPLC is then prepared to accept a price not below an amount specified in such Third Party Sale Notice (the "THIRD PARTY TARGET PRICE") if BNPLC and the prospective purchaser reach agreement on other terms and conditions to be incorporated into a definitive purchase and sale agreement, and (B) NAI's Extended Remarketing Right may be terminated pursuant to subparagraph 4(E) of this Agreement unless NAI causes an Applicable Purchaser to consummate a purchase of the Property pursuant to this Paragraph 2 within ninety days after the date of such Third Party Sale Notice. (D) NAI's Right to Excess Sales Proceeds. If the cash price actually paid by any third party purchasing the Property from BNPLC during NAI's Extended Remarketing Period, including any price paid by an Applicable Purchaser purchasing from BNPLC pursuant to this Paragraph 2, exceeds the Minimum Extended Remarketing Price, then NAI shall be entitled to the excess; provided, that BNPLC may offset and retain from the excess any and all sums that are then due and unpaid from NAI to BNPLC under any of the Operative Documents. (E) Permitted Transfers During NAI's Extended Remarketing Period. Any "Permitted Transfer" described in clause (6) of the definition thereof in the Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement (Phase V - Improvements) to an Affiliate of BNPLC or that covers BNPLC's entire interest in the Improvements will be subject to NAI's Extended Remarketing Right if, at the time of the Permitted Transfer, NAI's Extended Remarketing Right has not expired or been terminated as provided herein. Any other Permitted Transfer described in clause (6) of the definition thereof, however, will not be subject to NAI's Extended Remarketing Right. Thus, for example, BNPLC's conveyance of a utility easement or space lease more than thirty days after the Designated Sale Date to a Person not an Affiliate of BNPLC shall not be subject to NAI's Extended Remarketing Right, though following the conveyance of the lesser estate, NAI's Extended Remarketing Right may continue to apply to BNPLC's remaining interest in the Improvements and any Personal Property. 3. TERMS OF CONVEYANCE UPON PURCHASE. As necessary to consummate any sale of the Property to NAI or an Applicable Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, BNPLC must, subject to any postponement permitted by subparagraph 1(C), promptly after the tender of the purchase price and any other payments to BNPLC required pursuant to Paragraph 1 or Paragraph 2, as applicable, convey all of BNPLC's right, title and interest in the Improvements and other Property to NAI or the Applicable Purchaser, as the case may be, by BNPLC's execution, acknowledgment (where appropriate) and delivery of the Sale Closing Documents. Such conveyance by BNPLC will be subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances and any other encumbrances that do not constitute Liens Removable by BNPLC. However, such conveyance shall not include the rights of BNPLC or other Interested Parties under the indemnities provided in the Operative Documents, including rights to any payments then due from NAI under the indemnities or that may become due thereafter because of any expense or liability incurred by BNPLC or another Interested Party resulting in whole or in part from events or circumstances occurring or alleged to have occurred before such conveyance. All costs, both foreseen and unforeseen, of any purchase by NAI or an Applicable Purchaser 8 12 hereunder shall be the responsibility of the purchaser. The Sale Closing Documents used to accomplish such conveyance shall consist of the following: (1) a Corporation Grant Deed in the form attached as Exhibit B-1 or Exhibit B-2 or Exhibit B-3, as required by Exhibit B, (2) a Bill of Sale and Assignment in the form attached as Exhibit C, (3) an Acknowledgment of Disclaimer of Representations and Warranties, in the form attached as Exhibit D, which NAI or the Applicable Purchaser must execute and return to BNPLC, (4) a Secretary's Certificate in the form attached as Exhibit E, and (5) a certificate concerning tax withholding in the form attached as Exhibit F. If for any reason BNPLC fails to tender the Sale Closing Documents as required by this Paragraph 3, BNPLC may cure such refusal at any time before thirty days after receipt of a demand for such cure from NAI. 4. SURVIVAL AND TERMINATION OF THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF NAI AND BNPLC (A) Status of this Agreement Generally. Except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement shall not terminate; nor shall NAI have any right to terminate this Agreement; nor shall NAI be entitled to any reduction of the Break Even Price, any Deficiency, the Maximum Remarketing Obligation, any Supplemental Payment or the Minimum Extended Remarketing Price hereunder; nor shall the obligations of NAI to BNPLC under Paragraph 1 be affected, by reason of (i) any damage to or the destruction of all or any part of the Property from whatever cause (though it is understood that NAI will receive any remaining Escrowed Proceeds yet to be applied as provided in the Improvements Lease that may result from such damage if NAI purchases the Property and the Escrowed Proceeds as herein provided), (ii) the taking of or damage to the Property or any portion thereof by eminent domain or otherwise for any reason (though it is understood that NAI will receive any remaining Escrowed Proceeds yet to be applied as provided in the Improvements Lease that may result from such taking or damage if NAI purchases the Property and the Escrowed Proceeds as herein provided), (iii) the prohibition, limitation or restriction of NAI's use of all or any portion of the Property or any interference with such use by governmental action or otherwise, (iv) any eviction of NAI or any party claiming under NAI by paramount title or otherwise, (v) NAI's prior acquisition or ownership of any interest in the Property, (vi) any default on the part of BNPLC under this Agreement, the Improvements Lease or any other agreement to which BNPLC is a party, or (vii) any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, any existing or future law to the contrary notwithstanding. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the obligations of NAI to make payment to BNPLC hereunder shall be separate and independent covenants and agreements from BNPLC's obligations under this Agreement or any other agreement between BNPLC and NAI; provided, however, that nothing in this subparagraph shall excuse BNPLC from its obligation to tender the Sale Closing Documents in substantially the form attached hereto as exhibits when required by Paragraph 3. Further, nothing in this subparagraph shall be construed as a waiver by NAI of any right NAI may have at law or in equity to the following remedies, whether because of BNPLC's failure to remove a Lien Removable by BNPLC or because of any other default by BNPLC under this Agreement: (i) the recovery of monetary damages, (ii) injunctive relief in case of the violation, or attempted or threatened violation, by BNPLC of any of the express covenants, agreements, conditions or provisions of this Agreement which are binding upon BNPLC, or (iii) a decree compelling performance by BNPLC of any of the express covenants, agreements, conditions or provisions of this Agreement which are binding upon BNPLC. 9 13 (B) Election by NAI to Terminate the Purchase Option and NAI's Initial Remarketing Rights and Obligations Prior to the Base Rent Commencement Date. At any time prior to the Base Rent Commencement Date, NAI may elect to terminate both the Purchase Option and NAI's Initial Remarketing Rights and Obligations, subject to the following conditions: (1) To be effective, any such election to terminate must be made prior to the Base Rent Commencement Date and must be made after (x) NAI shall have given Notice of NAI's Election to Terminate pursuant to Paragraph 5(D) of the Construction Management Agreement, (y) BNPLC shall have given any FOCB Notice as provided in Paragraph 5(E) of the Construction Management Agreement, or (z) BNPLC shall have given notice of its election to accelerate the Designated Sale Date when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as provided in clause (5) of the definition "Designated Sale Date" in the Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement (Phase V - Improvements). (2) To be effective, any such election to terminate must be made by giving BNPLC and the Participants a notice thereof in the form attached as Exhibit F prior to the Base Rent Commencement Date. (3) No termination pursuant to this subparagraph 4(B) shall be effective, notwithstanding any notice NAI may have given as described in the preceding clause (2), unless contemporaneously with the giving of the notice (and in any event prior to the Base Rent Commencement Date) NAI shall deliver to BNPLC an Issue 97-10 Prepayment. (4) If for any reason whatsoever, including any bona fide dispute over the amount of any required Issue 97-10 Prepayment, BNPLC does not receive both the notice described in the preceding clause (2) and a full Issue 97-10 Prepayment as described in the preceding clause (3) prior to the Base Rent Commencement Date, then without any notice or other action by the parties to this Agreement NAI shall cease to have any option to terminate pursuant to this subparagraph 4(B). (C) Election by BNPLC to Terminate the Purchase Option and NAI's Initial Remarketing Rights and Obligations. By notice to NAI BNPLC shall be entitled to terminate both the Purchase Option and NAI's Initial Remarketing Rights and Obligations, as BNPLC deems appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion, at any time after receiving a notice given by NAI to make or attempt to make any Issue 97-10 Election. Upon any such termination by BNPLC, NAI shall become immediately obligated to pay BNPLC an Issue 97-10 Prepayment. (D) Automatic Termination of NAI's Rights. Without limiting BNPLC's right to enforce NAI's obligation to pay any Supplemental Payment or other amounts required by this Agreement, the rights of NAI (to be distinguished from the obligations of NAI) included in NAI's Initial Remarketing Rights and Obligations, the Purchase Option and NAI's Extended Remarketing Rights shall all terminate automatically if NAI shall fail to pay the full amount of any Supplemental Payment required by subparagraph 1(A)(2)(c) on the Designated Sale Date or if BNPLC shall elect a Voluntary Retention of the Property as provided in 10 14 subparagraph 1(A)(2)(a). If, however, NAI's Initial Remarketing Rights and Obligations are effectively terminated pursuant to subparagraph 4(B) or 4(C) prior to the Designated Sale Date, thereby excusing NAI from the obligation to make any Supplemental Payment pursuant to subparagraph 1(A)(2)(c) and precluding any Voluntary Retention of the Property pursuant to subparagraph 1(A)(2)(a), then NAI's Extended Remarketing Rights will not automatically terminate pursuant to this subparagraph. Further, notwithstanding anything in this subparagraph to the contrary, even after a failure to pay any required Supplemental Payment on the Designated Sale Date, NAI may nonetheless tender to BNPLC the full Break Even Price and all amounts then due under the Operative Documents, together with interest on the total Break Even Price computed at the Default Rate from the Designated Sale Date to the date of tender, on any Business Day within thirty days after the Designated Sale Date, and if presented with such a tender within thirty days after the Designated Sale Date, BNPLC must accept it and promptly thereafter deliver any Escrowed Proceeds and the Sale Closing Documents listed in Paragraph 3 to NAI. (E) Termination of NAI's Extended Remarketing Rights to Permit a Sale by BNPLC. At any time more than ninety days after BNPLC has delivered a Third Party Sale Notice to NAI as described in subparagraph 2(C)(2), BNPLC may terminate NAI's Extended Remarketing Rights contemporaneously with the consummation of a sale of the Property by BNPLC to any third party (be it the prospective purchaser named in the Third Party Sale Notice or another third party) at a price equal to or in excess of the Third Party Target Price specified in the Third Party Sale Notice, so as to permit the sale of the Property unencumbered by NAI's Extended Remarketing Rights. (F) Payment Only to BNPLC. All amounts payable under this Agreement by NAI and, if applicable, by an Applicable Purchaser must be paid directly to BNPLC, and no payment to any other party shall be effective for the purposes of this Agreement. In addition to the payments required under subparagraph 1(A), on the Designated Sale Date NAI must pay all amounts then due to BNPLC under the Improvements Lease or other Operative Documents. (G) Remedies Under the Other Operative Documents. No repossession of or re-entering upon the Property or exercise of any other remedies available to BNPLC under the Improvements Lease or other Operative Documents shall terminate NAI's rights or obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive BNPLC's exercise of remedies under the other Operative Documents. NAI acknowledges that the consideration for this Agreement is separate and independent of the consideration for the Improvements Lease, the Construction Management Agreement and the Closing Certificate, and NAI's obligations hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by any event or circumstance that would excuse NAI from performance of its obligations under such other Operative Documents. (H) Occupancy by NAI Prior to Closing of a Sale. Prior to the closing of any sale of the Property to NAI or an Applicable Purchaser hereunder, NAI's occupancy of the Improvements and its use of the Property shall continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of the Improvements Lease, including the terms setting forth NAI's obligation to pay rent, prior to any termination or expiration of the Improvements Lease pursuant to its express terms and conditions. 11 15 5. SECURITY FOR NAI'S OBLIGATIONS; RETURN OF FUNDS. NAI's obligations under this Agreement are secured by the Pledge Agreement, reference to which is hereby made for a description of the Collateral covered thereby and the rights and remedies provided to BNPLC thereby. Although the collateral agent appointed for BNPLC as provided in the Pledge Agreement shall be entitled to hold all Collateral as security for the full and faithful performance by NAI of NAI's covenants and obligations under this Agreement, the Collateral shall not be considered an advance payment of the Break Even Price or any Supplemental Payment or a measure of BNPLC's damages should NAI breach this Agreement. If NAI does breach this Agreement and fails to cure the same within any time specified herein for the cure, BNPLC may, from time to time, without prejudice to any other remedy and without notice to NAI, require the collateral agent to immediately apply the proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral (and any cash included in the Collateral) to amounts then due hereunder from NAI. If by a Permitted Transfer BNPLC conveys its interest in the Property before the Designated Sale Date, BNPLC may also assign BNPLC's interest in the Collateral to the transferee. BNPLC shall be entitled to return any Collateral not sold or used to satisfy the obligations secured by the Pledge Agreement directly to NAI notwithstanding any prior actual or attempted conveyance or assignment by NAI, voluntary or otherwise, of any right to receive the same; neither BNPLC nor the collateral agent named in the Pledge Agreement shall be responsible for the proper distribution or application by NAI of any such Collateral returned to NAI; and any such return of Collateral to NAI shall discharge any obligation of BNPLC to deliver such Collateral to all Persons claiming an interest in the Collateral. Further, BNPLC shall be entitled to deliver any Escrowed Proceeds it holds on the Designated Sale Date directly to NAI or to any Applicable Purchaser purchasing BNPLC's interest in the Property and the Escrowed Proceeds pursuant to this Agreement notwithstanding any prior actual or attempted conveyance or assignment by NAI, voluntary or otherwise, of any right to receive the same; BNPLC shall not be responsible for the proper distribution or application by NAI or any Applicable Purchaser of any such Escrowed Proceeds paid over to NAI or the Applicable Purchaser; and any such payment of Escrowed Proceeds to NAI or an Applicable Purchaser shall discharge any obligation of BNPLC to deliver the same to all Persons claiming an interest therein. 6. CERTAIN REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to BNPLC is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy BNPLC has with respect to the Property, and each and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. In addition to other remedies available under this Agreement, either party shall be entitled, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to a decree compelling performance of any of the other party's agreements hereunder. 7. ATTORNEYS' FEES AND LEGAL EXPENSES. If either party to this Agreement commences any legal action or other proceeding to enforce any of the terms of this Agreement, or because of any breach by the other party or dispute hereunder, the party prevailing in such action or proceeding shall be entitled to recover from the other party all Attorneys' Fees incurred in connection therewith, whether or not such controversy, claim or dispute is prosecuted to a final judgment. Any such Attorneys' Fees incurred by either party in enforcing a judgment in its favor under this Agreement shall be recoverable separately from such judgment, and the obligation for such Attorneys' Fees is intended to be severable from other provisions of this Agreement and not to be merged into any such judgment. 12 16 8. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Upon request by BNPLC, NAI shall execute, acknowledge and deliver a written statement certifying that this Agreement is unmodified and in full effect (or, if there have been modifications, that this Agreement is in full effect as modified, and setting forth such modification) and either stating that no default exists hereunder or specifying each such default of which NAI has knowledge. Any such statement may be relied upon by any Participant or prospective purchaser or assignee of BNPLC with respect to the Property. 9. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The terms, provisions, covenants and conditions hereof shall be binding upon NAI and BNPLC and their respective permitted successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of NAI and BNPLC and all permitted transferees, mortgagees, successors and assignees of NAI and BNPLC with respect to the Property; provided, that (A) the rights of BNPLC hereunder shall not pass to NAI or any Applicable Purchaser or any subsequent owner claiming through NAI or an Applicable Purchaser, (B) BNPLC shall not assign this Agreement or any rights hereunder except pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, and (C) NAI shall not assign this Agreement or any rights hereunder without the prior written consent of BNPLC.

If, however, BNPLC's interest in the Land pursuant to the Other Purchase Agreement has not been consummated before, and is not being consummated contemporaneously with, the sale of BNPLC's interest in the Improvements under this Agreement, then BNPLC's interest in the Improvements will be conveyed by a deed in the from attached as Exhibit B-2. Finally, BNPLC's interest in the Improvements will be conveyed by a deed in the from attached as Exhibit B-3 if BNPLC's interest in the Land has been sold pursuant to the Other Purchase Agreement before a sale of BNPLC's interest in the Improvements under this Agreement, or BNPLC's interest in the Improvements is being sold contemporaneously with a sale of BNPLC's interest in the Land, but the purchaser of the Improvements is not the same as the purchaser of the Land. 21 EXHIBIT B-1 CORPORATION GRANT DEED RECORDING REQUESTED BY AND WHEN RECORDED MAIL TO: NAME: [NAI or the Applicable Purchaser] ADDRESS: ------------------------- ATTN: ------------------------- CITY: ------------------------- STATE: ------------------------- Zip: ------------------------- MAIL TAX STATEMENTS TO: NAME: [NAI or the Applicable Purchaser] ADDRESS: ------------------------- ATTN: ------------------------- CITY: ------------------------- STATE: ------------------------- Zip: ------------------------- CORPORATION GRANT DEED (Covering Land and Improvements) FOR A VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, BNP LEASING CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("Grantor"), hereby grants to [NAI or the Applicable Purchaser] ("Grantee") all of Grantor's interest in the land situated in Sunnyvale, California, described on Annex A attached hereto and hereby made a part hereof and all improvements on such land, together with the any other right, title and interest of Grantor in and to any easements, rights-of-way, privileges and other rights appurtenant to such land or the improvements thereon; provided, however, that this grant is subject to the encumbrances described on Annex B (the "Permitted Encumbrances").
