SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULE OF NON-CASH FINANCING ACTIVITIES (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS):

In February 2003, the Company tendered its equity interest in Vascular Genetics, Inc. (“VGI”), a privately-held company, in exchange for approximately an 18% equity interest in Corautus Genetics Inc., a publicly-traded company that resulted from the merger of VGI and GenStar Therapeutics Corporation. As of the date of this exchange, the Company had no carrying value in its equity interest in VGI. Immediately following this transaction, the market value of the Company’s investment in Corautus was approximately $5,659.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Quarter Ended June 30, 2003

(dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)

Note 1. Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Human Genome Sciences, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company’s financial position at June 30, 2003, and the cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted from the interim consolidated financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Company’s March 31, 2003 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of future financial results.

Note 2. Stock-Based Compensation

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure (“SFAS No. 148”), the effect on net loss and net loss per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS No. 123”) to stock-based employee compensation is as follows:

                                   
      Three months ended   Six months ended
      June 30,   June 30,
     
 
      2003   2002   2003   2002
     
 
 
 
Net income (loss), as reported
  $ (47,394 )   $ (46,510 )   $ (88,709 )   $ (84,798 )
Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of related tax effects
    (18,844 )     (36,226 )     (54,415 )     (64,427 )
Add: Stock-based non-employee compensation included in included in net income (loss)
          17       229       33  
 
   
     
     
     
 
Pro forma net income (loss)
  $ (66,238 )   $ (82,719 )   $ (142,895 )   $ (149,192 )
 
   
     
     
     
 
Net income (loss) per share:
                               
 
Basic and diluted — as reported
  $ (0.37 )   $ (0.36 )   $ (0.69 )   $ (0.66 )
 
Basic and diluted — pro forma
  $ (0.51 )   $ (0.64 )   $ (1.11 )   $ (1.16 )

The effect of applying SFAS No. 123 on the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 pro forma net loss and net loss per share as stated above, is not necessarily representative of the effects on reported net loss for future years due to, among other things, (1) the vesting period of the stock options and (2) the fair value of additional stock options in future years.

Note 4. Commitments and Other Matters

In June 2003, the Company restructured the two lease agreements it had previously entered into in 2001 (the “October 2001 lease” and the “November 2001 lease”) as a result of new accounting requirements established by Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (“FIN 46”). The October 2001 lease relates primarily to a research campus, located at 9800 Medical Center Drive, which the Company had leased for seven years from a trust controlled by third parties established solely for that purpose. The November 2001 lease related to the construction of the

Note 4. Commitments and Other Matters (continued)

Company’s research and development and administrative main campus and a large-scale manufacturing facility. The Company originally planned to lease these November 2001 properties for approximately five years, following an estimated two-year construction period, from a trust controlled by third parties established solely for that purpose. The restructurings have eliminated and dissolved the trusts that were parties to these leases.

Under the terms of the restructuring of the October 2001 lease, the Company will continue to operate under the original lease, which has been assigned, effective June 26, 2003, to the existing owner of the facility (the “9800 MCD lease”). The total financed cost of the facility covered under the 9800 MCD lease is approximately $76,000. The Company’s rent obligation began in 2001 and will approximate the lessor’s debt service costs. As of June 30, 2003, the lessor had fixed the interest rate on $76,000 at a weighted-average interest rate of approximately 4.3%.

The November 2001 lease was cancelled effective June 30, 2003. The total projected financed cost of the facilities originally anticipated to be covered under the November 2001 lease was approximately $450,000. The Company has now separated the financing for the research and development and administrative main campus from the large-scale manufacturing facility. With respect to the research and development and administrative main campus, located on the Traville site, Wachovia Development Corporation (“WDC”) acquired ownership of the project and entered into an approximately seven-year operating lease (the “Traville lease”) with the Company. WDC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wachovia Corporation, is primarily engaged in real estate finance, development and leasing activities, with direct real estate investments and net real estate lease investments exceeding $650,000 at the time of inception of the Traville lease. The total projected financed cost of the Traville lease facility is approximately $200,000. The construction of the research and development and administrative main campus is on schedule and the facility is expected to be completed during the second half of 2003, at which time the rent obligations under the Traville lease will commence. The Company’s rent obligation will approximate the lessor’s debt service costs plus a return on the lessor’s equity investment. The Company’s rent obligation under the Traville lease is floating and is based primarily on short-term commercial paper, but the lessor can lock in a fixed interest rate at any time at the Company’s request. The floating rate was approximately 1.3% as of June 30, 2003.

With respect to the large-scale manufacturing facility, the Company has assumed ownership of and responsibility for financing this project. The total projected financed cost of this facility had been approximately $250,000, but as a result of a redesign completed earlier in 2003, the Company anticipates that the facility will be completed by 2005 at a cost of approximately $210,000.

With respect to restricted investments, the Company has no restricted investment obligations for the large-scale manufacturing facility. The Company’s restricted investments with respect to the 9800 MCD lease, the Traville lease and other leases for the existing process development and manufacturing facility could reach approximately $295,000, assuming the full amount committed is used for construction purposes. The Company will be required to restrict investments equal to 100% of the full amount of the approximately $76,000 financed project cost for the 9800 MCD lease and 102% of the full amount of the approximately $200,000 financed project cost for the Traville lease, or $204,000, by the conclusion of the construction period, as collateral for the duration of the leases. In addition, the Company is also required to maintain up to a maximum of $15,000 in restricted investments with respect to the process development and manufacturing facility leases. The Company’s restricted investments were $240,528 and $205,352 as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively.

Note 4. Commitments and Other Matters (continued)

Under the 9800 MCD and Traville lease agreements, which the Company has accounted for as operating leases, the Company has the option to purchase the properties, during or at the end of the lease terms, at an aggregate amount of approximately $276,000, assuming the full amount of the financings is used for construction activities. Alternatively, the Company can cause the properties to be sold to third parties.

With respect to the 9800 MCD lease, the Company has a residual value guarantee of 85% of the total financed cost at lease termination. In the event of the Company’s default, the Company is responsible for 100% of the total financed cost of the project. Because the lessor is responsible for servicing and repaying the debt financings to various parties, the Company has made the residual value guarantee to the lessor. In the event the lessor defaults to the lender, the Company has the right to cure the default or exercise its option to acquire the property. At any time during the lease term, the Company has the option to purchase legal and/or beneficial interest in the project for 100% of the lease balance plus any unpaid indemnity amounts. As of June 30, 2003, the Company’s residual value guarantee for the 9800 MCD lease had reached the full maximum amount of $64,600.

With respect to the Traville lease, upon completion the Company will have a residual value guarantee of 87.75% of the total financed cost at lease termination. In the event of default, the Company is responsible for 100% of the total financed cost of the project. During the construction period, except under certain limited circumstances, recourse to the Company is limited to approximately 89.9% of the financed cost incurred. Because the lessor is responsible for servicing and repaying the debt financings to various parties, the Company has made the residual value guarantee to the lessor. In the event the lessor defaults to the lender, the Company has the right to cure the default or exercise its option to acquire the property. The Company has the option to purchase legal and/or beneficial interest in the project for 100% of the lease balance plus any unpaid indemnity amounts at any time. As of June 30, 2003, recourse against the Company for the Traville lease was approximately $130,494, as compared to the potential maximum guarantee of $175,500, assuming the full amount of the lease is used for construction activities.

In connection with the 9800 MCD lease, the Company must maintain minimum levels of unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, as well as comply with certain dividend restrictions. In connection with the Traville lease, the Company must maintain minimum levels of unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and certain debt ratios.

In accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (“FIN 45”), the Company recorded the estimated fair market value of the maximum residual value guarantee of the Traville lease during the second quarter of 2003. The Company has estimated the fair market value of the guarantee as approximately $4,400 and has recorded this amount within Other assets and Other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2003. The Company will amortize both amounts on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

There are no recourse provisions under either the 9800 MCD or Traville lease that would enable the Company to recover from third parties any of the amounts paid under the guarantees. The Company

has set aside collateral in the form of restricted investments sufficient to satisfy all current obligations under the guarantees. In addition, the Company has the right to cause the sale of the properties covered by the leases and may recover all or a portion of the money paid under the guarantees.

During the second quarter of 2003, the Company sold equipment with an original cost of approximately $15,000 to an equipment lessor and has entered into a lease-back arrangement for a lease with a term of five years, which the Company has accounted for as an operating lease. The Company must either purchase the equipment at the end of the initial term at the greater of fair market value or 20% of original cost or extend the term of the lease for an additional year. Minimum annual rentals are approximately $3,000.

Note 5. Investment in Corautus Genetics Inc.

During the first quarter of 2003, the Company tendered its equity interest in Vascular Genetics, Inc. (“VGI”), a privately-held company, in exchange for approximately an 18% equity interest in Corautus Genetics Inc., a publicly-traded company that resulted from the merger of VGI and GenStar Therapeutics Corporation. As of the date of this exchange, the Company had no carrying value in its equity interest in VGI. Immediately following this transaction, the market value of the Company’s investment in Corautus was approximately $5,659. As a result, the Company recorded an unrealized gain equal to the market value for this long-term investment as of the date of this exchange. The Company is adjusting this unrealized gain to reflect changes in market value in accordance with SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.

Note 6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts for the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, investments, other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other accrued expenses reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 approximate their respective fair values.

The carrying value of the Company’s debt was approximately $504,000 as of both June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is based primarily on quoted market prices. The quoted market prices of the Company’s convertible debt increased as of June 30, 2003 as compared to December 31, 2002, and accordingly, the fair value of the Company’s debt increased to approximately $425,000 as of June 30, 2003 from $344,000 as of December 31, 2002.

Note 7. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (“FIN 46”). FIN 46 clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. It requires the consolidation of variable interest entities in which an enterprise absorbs a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns, or both, as a result of ownership, contractual or other financial interests in the entity. FIN 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and for periods beginning after June 15, 2003 for all other variable interest entities. As a result of these new requirements, the Company restructured certain of its leases. See Note 4, Commitments and Other Matters, for additional discussion.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Month and Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 2003 and 2002

Overview

     Human Genome Sciences’ goal is to build a global biopharmaceutical company that discovers, develops, manufactures and markets gene-based drugs to treat and cure disease. The success of our drug discovery efforts derives from our expertise in genomics, the systematic collection and understanding of human genes and their functions, and from our exclusive focus on developing human protein and antibody drugs. We focus our internal product development efforts on novel human protein and antibody drugs discovered through genomics-based research, and on new improved long-acting versions of existing protein drugs created using our albumin fusion technology.

     We are conducting clinical trials with ten of our products. Additional products are in clinical trials by companies with which we are collaborating. We continue to evaluate new drugs for advancement into clinical development.

     We have established strategic partnerships with a number of leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to leverage our strengths and to gain access to complementary technologies and sales and marketing infrastructure. Some of these partnerships provide us with milestone and royalty payments as products are developed and commercialized. We also are entitled to certain co-promotion, co-development, revenue sharing and other product rights.

     We have not received any significant product sales revenue or royalties from product sales and any significant revenue from product sales or from royalties on product sales in the next several years is uncertain. To date, all of our revenue relates to payments made under our collaboration agreements with GlaxoSmithKline and, to a lesser extent, other agreements. The GlaxoSmithKline collaboration agreement and many of our other collaboration agreements expired in 2001 and will only generate additional milestone and royalty payments if our collaborators successfully develop drugs based on our technology. We may not receive any of these payments and may not be able to enter into additional collaboration agreements.

     We expect that any significant revenue or income for at least the next several years may be limited to interest income, payments under various collaboration agreements to the extent milestones are met, payments from the sale of product rights and other payments from other collaborators and licensees under existing or future arrangements, to the extent that we enter into any future arrangements. We expect to continue to incur substantial expenses relating to our research and development efforts, as we focus on preclinical and clinical trials required for the development of therapeutic protein, antibody and fusion protein product candidates. As a result, we expect to incur continued and significant losses over the next several years unless we are able to realize additional revenues under existing or new collaboration agreements. The timing and amounts of such revenues, if any, cannot be predicted with certainty and will likely fluctuate sharply. Results of operations for any period may be unrelated to the results of operations for any other period. In addition, historical results should not be viewed as indicative of future operating results.

Results of Operations

     Revenues. Revenues were $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to revenues of $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Revenues for both the three month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 represent revenue recognized from Transgene. Revenues were $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to revenues of $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003 include a $1.0 million milestone payment earned and received from GlaxoSmithKline (“GSK”) and $1.3 million in revenue recognized from Transgene. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002 represent revenue recognized from Transgene.

Results of Operations (continued)

     Expenses. Research and development expenses were $47.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $48.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Research and development expenses were $94.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $94.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. We track our research and development expenditures by type of cost incurred – discovery, drug development, manufacturing and clinical development costs.

     Our discovery costs decreased to $8.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $11.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Discovery costs decreased to $16.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from $22.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease in discovery costs for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 is primarily due to reduced activity in gene discovery and in the study of preclinical therapeutic protein drug candidates.

     Our drug development costs decreased slightly to $13.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $13.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Drug development costs increased slightly to $27.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from $27.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002.

     Our manufacturing costs increased to $15.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $14.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Manufacturing costs increased to $31.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from $28.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The increase in manufacturing costs for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 is due to the increased production activities within our process development and manufacturing facilities needed to support our increased clinical activities.

     Our clinical development costs increased to $10.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $9.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Clinical development costs increased to $19.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from $16.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The increase in clinical development costs for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 is primarily due to the cost of continuing ongoing trials from 2002 as well as initiating new trials in 2003.

     General and administrative expenses decreased to $9.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $12.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. General and administrative expenses decreased to $19.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from $23.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 resulted primarily from lower legal expenses associated with filing and prosecuting patent applications relating to genes and proteins we discovered, partially offset by higher facility and other costs.

     Interest income decreased for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003, compared to the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002, due to lower average cash balances as a result of our net losses in 2003 and 2002 and our capital expenditures during this period, as well as a reduced yield on our investments. Interest expense decreased for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 due to a reduction in our capital lease obligation for 2003 compared to 2002.

     Net Income (Loss). We recorded a net loss of $47.4 million, or $0.37 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to a net loss of $46.5 million, or $0.36 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2002. We recorded a net loss of $88.7 million, or $0.69 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to a net loss of $84.8 million, or $0.66 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The increased loss for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 reflects increased investment in the development of preclinical and clinical drug candidates, increased manufacturing operations and reduced net interest income, partially offset by decreased general and administrative expenses.

13


 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     We had working capital of $1.11 billion and $1.25 billion at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. The reduction in our working capital during the six months ended June 30, 2003 is primarily due to our net loss, along with a net increase in our restricted investments and capital expenditures during this period.

     We expect to continue to incur substantial expenses relating to our research and development efforts, which may increase relative to historical levels as we focus on development and clinical trials required for the development of therapeutic protein, antibody and fusion protein product candidates.

     The amounts of expenditures that will be needed to carry out our business plan are subject to numerous uncertainties, which may adversely affect our liquidity and capital resources. We are proceeding with numerous clinical trials. We have several Phase 1 and Phase 2 trials underway and expect to initiate additional trials in the future. Completion of these trials may extend several years or more, but the length of time generally varies considerably according to the type, complexity, novelty and intended use of the drug candidate. We estimate that the completion periods for our Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 3 trials could span one year, one to two years and two to four years, respectively. The duration and cost of our clinical trials are a function of numerous factors such as the number of patients to be enrolled in the trial, the amount of time it takes to enroll them, the length of time they must be treated and observed, and the number of clinical sites and countries for the trial.

     We identify our potential drug candidates by conducting numerous preclinical studies. We may conduct multiple clinical trials to cover a variety of indications for each drug candidate. Based upon the results from our trials, we may elect to discontinue clinical trials for certain indications or certain drugs in order to concentrate our resources on more promising drug candidates.

     We are advancing many drug candidates, including therapeutic proteins, antibodies and albumin fusion proteins, in part to diversify the risks associated with our research and development spending. In addition, our manufacturing plants have been designed to enable multi-product manufacturing capability. Accordingly, we believe our future financial commitments, including those for preclinical, clinical or manufacturing activities, are not substantially dependent on any single drug candidate. Should we be unable to sustain a multi-product drug pipeline, our dependence on the success of one or a few drug candidates would increase.

     We must receive FDA clearance to advance each of our products into and through each phase of clinical testing. Moreover, we must receive FDA regulatory approval to launch any of our products commercially. In order to receive such approval, the FDA must conclude that our clinical data establish safety and efficacy and that our products and the manufacturing facilities meet all FDA requirements. We cannot be certain that we will establish sufficient safety and efficacy data to receive regulatory approval for any of our drugs or that our drugs and the manufacturing facilities will meet all FDA requirements.

     In addition, part of our business plan includes collaborating with others. For example, GSK is developing products discovered by GSK as part of our collaboration with them. We have no control over the progress of GSK’s development plans. While we have received an aggregate of $2.0 million from GSK in connection with development milestones met by GSK during 2003 and 2002, we cannot forecast with any degree of certainty the likelihood of receiving future milestone or royalty payments. We also cannot forecast with any degree of certainty whether any of our current or future collaborations will affect our drug development efforts and therefore, our capital and liquidity requirements.

     Because of the uncertainties discussed above, the costs to advance our research and development projects are difficult to estimate and may vary significantly. We expect that our existing funds and interest income will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next several years.

14


 

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)

     Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including scientific progress in our research and development programs (including our discovery and development activities), the magnitude of those programs, the ability to establish collaborative and licensing arrangements, the cost involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining and enforcing patent claims and competing technological and market developments. There can be no assurance that any additional financing required in the future will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

     Depending upon market and interest rate conditions, we are exploring, and, from time to time, may take actions to strengthen further our financial position. In this regard, we recently restructured certain of our outstanding lease obligations and may further modify our lease financings and repurchase or restructure some or all of our outstanding convertible debt instruments in the future depending upon market and other conditions.

     Our future liquidity and capital resources will be affected by our contractual obligations, including two seven-year lease agreements that relate to a research campus and a research and development and administrative campus, either acquired or under construction (the “9800 MCD lease” and the “Traville lease”, respectively). None of our directors, officers or employees has any financial interest with regard to these lease arrangements.

     The 9800 MCD lease resulted from the restructure of an October 2001 lease, and relates to a $76.0 million research campus located at 9800 Medical Center Drive, adjacent to our future corporate campus. We are leasing this property for seven years. The rent under this lease is fixed. As of June 30, 2003, the weighted-average interest rate was approximately 4.3%.

     The Traville lease resulted from the cancellation of a November 2001 lease effective June 30, 2003 and relates to a research and development and administrative main campus located on the Traville site. The total projected financed cost of this main campus along with a large-scale manufacturing facility also anticipated to be covered under the original lease was approximately $450.0 million. We have now separated the financing for the research and development and administrative main campus from the large-scale manufacturing facility.

     With respect to the research and development and administrative main campus, we have entered into an approximately seven-year operating lease. The total projected financed cost of the Traville lease facility is approximately $200.0 million. The construction of the research and development and administrative main campus is on schedule and the facility is expected to be completed during the second half of 2003, at which time the rent obligations under the Traville lease will commence. Our rent obligation will approximate the lessor’s debt service costs plus a return on the lessor’s equity investment. The rent under this lease is currently based on the rate for short-term commercial paper, but the lessor can lock in a fixed interest rate at any time at our request. To the extent the lessor does not lock in a fixed interest rate, if interest rates increase, our rent obligations would also increase. If interest rates decrease, our rent obligations would decrease. The current floating rate was approximately 1.3% as of June 30, 2003.

     With respect to the large-scale manufacturing facility, we have assumed ownership of and responsibility for financing this project. The total projected financed cost of this facility had been approximately $250.0 million, but as a result of a redesign completed earlier in 2003, we anticipate the facility to be completed by 2005 at a cost of approximately $210.0 million. In addition, because we have assumed ownership and financing of this project, we have reduced our total future contractual obligations by approximately $19.0 million, based on the estimated future payments that had been due under the now cancelled operating lease for this facility. We no longer have any restricted investment obligations for the large-scale manufacturing facility that had been part of the November 2001 lease.

15


 

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)

     Our restricted investments with respect to the 9800 MCD lease, the Traville lease and other leases for the existing process development and manufacturing facility could reach approximately $295.0 million, assuming the full amount committed is used for construction purposes. We will be required to restrict investments equal to 100% of the full amount of the approximately $76.0 million financed project cost for the 9800 MCD lease and 102% of the full amount of the approximately $200.0 million financed project cost for the Traville lease, or $204.0 million, by the conclusion of the construction period, as collateral for the duration of the leases. In addition, we are also required to maintain up to a maximum of $15.0 million in restricted investments with respect to the process development and manufacturing facility leases. Our restricted investments for all of these leases aggregated $240.5 million as of June 30, 2003 compared to $205.4 million as of December 31, 2002.

     Under the 9800 MCD and Traville leases, which we have accounted for as operating leases, we have the option to purchase the properties during and at the end of the lease terms at an aggregate amount of approximately $276.0 million. Alternatively, we can cause the properties to be sold to third parties. We are contingently liable for the residual value guarantee associated with each property in the event the net sale proceeds are less than the original financed costs of the facilities. Upon completion of the facilities covered by these leases, assuming the full amount of the leases is used for construction activities, we will be contingently liable for the residual value guarantee associated with each property up to an aggregate amount of $240.1 million. Of this amount, the residual value guarantee for the 9800 MCD lease and the Traville lease will be approximately $64.6 million and $175.5 million, respectively, assuming the full amount of the financings is used for construction activities.

     Our unrestricted and restricted funds may be invested in U.S. Treasury securities, government agency obligations, high grade corporate debt securities and various money market instruments rated “A” or better. Such investments reflect our policy regarding the investment of liquid assets, which is to seek a reasonable rate of return consistent with an emphasis on safety, liquidity and preservation of capital.

Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

     Certain statements contained Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The forward-looking statements are based on our current intent, belief and expectations. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Actual results may differ materially from these forward-looking statements because of our unproven business model, our dependence on new technologies, the uncertainty and timing of clinical trials, our ability to develop and commercialize products, our dependence on collaborators for services and revenue, our substantial indebtedness and lease obligations, our changing requirements and costs associated with planned facilities, intense competition, the uncertainty of patent and intellectual property protection, our dependence on key management and key suppliers, the uncertainty of regulation of products, the impact of future alliances or transactions and other risks described in this filing and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Existing and prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of today’s date. We undertake no obligation to update or revise the information contained in this announcement whether as a result of new information, future events or circumstances or otherwise.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     We do not have operations of a material nature that are subject to risks of foreign currency fluctuations, nor do we use derivative financial instruments in our operations or investment portfolio. Our investment portfolio may be comprised of low-risk U.S. Treasuries, government agency obligations, high-grade debt

16


 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk (continued)

having at least an “A” rating and various money market instruments. The short-term nature of these securities, which currently have an average term of approximately 18 months, significantly decreases the risk of a material loss caused by a market change. We believe that a hypothetical 100 basis point adverse move (increase) in interest rates along the entire interest rate yield curve would adversely affect the fair value of our cash, cash equivalents and short-term and restricted investments by approximately $20.6 million, or approximately 1.5% of the aggregate fair value of $1.38 billion, at June 30, 2003. For these reasons, and because these securities are generally held to maturity, we believe we do not have significant exposure to market risks associated with changes in interest rates related to our debt securities held as of June 30, 2003. We believe that any market change related to our investment securities held as of June 30, 2003 is not material to our consolidated financial statements. However, given the short-term nature of these securities, a general decline in interest rates would adversely affect the interest income from our portfolio as securities mature and are replaced with securities having a lower interest rate.

     As of June 30, 2003, the carrying values of our equity investments in Transgene, Cambridge Antibody Technology (“CAT”), Corautus and Ciphergen were approximately $4.6 million, $12.0 million, $4.7 million and $2.2 million, respectively. Our investments in Transgene, Corautus and Ciphergen are subject to equity market risk. Our investment in CAT is denominated in pounds sterling and is subject to both foreign currency risk as well as equity market risk.

     The facility leases we entered into during 2003 and 2001 require us to maintain minimum levels of restricted investments as collateral for these facilities. By 2005, our maximum restricted investments for these leases could be approximately $280.0 million. Together with the requirement to maintain up to approximately $15.0 million in restricted investments with respect to our process development and manufacturing facility leases, our overall level of restricted investments could reach $295.0 million. Although the market value for these investments may rise or fall as a result of changes in interest rates, we will be required to maintain this level of restricted investments in both a rising or declining interest rate environment.

     The rent under the Traville lease is based on a floating interest rate. We can direct the lessor to lock in a fixed interest rate. As of June 30, 2003, such a fixed rate for seven years would be approximately 3.3% compared to the floating rate as of June 30, 2003 of approximately 1.3%. If interest rates increase, our rent obligations would also increase, which would adversely affect our operating expenses.

     During 2002, we established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Human Genome Sciences Europe GmbH (“HGS Europe”), that will manage our clinical trials and clinical research collaborations in European countries. Although HGS Europe’s activities are denominated primarily in euros, we believe the foreign currency fluctuation risks for 2003 to be immaterial to our operations as a whole.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

     Our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2003. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in this Form 10-Q quarterly report has been appropriately recorded, processed, summarized and reported. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.

     Our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, has evaluated any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2003, and has concluded that there was no change that occurred during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2003 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Unless the Operative Agreements otherwise require that the obligations of the Lessee under the Operative Agreements be secured with Properly Margined Liquid Collateral, the Lessee shall have the right to secure its obligations under the Operative Agreements with either Properly Margined Liquid Collateral or Non-Properly Margined Liquid Collateral. The Lessee may change its election of Properly Margined Liquid Collateral or Non-Properly Margined Liquid Collateral by written notice delivered to the Agent within the first fifteen (15) days of each March, June, September and December, and any such change in its election will be effective as of the first Business Day of the next following month.

15


 

  additional Permitted Investments (the “Additional Liquid Collateral”) to the Liquid Collateral Account by the Additional Collateral Delivery Date to ensure that (1) the Adjusted Market Value, in the case of Properly Margined Liquid Collateral, or (2) the Fair Market Sales Value, in the case of Non-Properly Margined Liquid Collateral (with respect to the foregoing subsections (1) and (2) in which the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, has a first priority perfected security interest) shall be greater than or equal to the Required Liquid Collateral Amount; provided, that after taking into account a transfer of Pledged Securities the Liquid Collateral Account shall satisfy and at all times thereafter satisfy the Concentration Limits. Additionally, upon each release of Liquid Collateral from the Punch List Liquid Collateral Account as described in Section 5.15, the Lessee shall be obligated immediately to deposit additional Liquid Collateral into the Liquid Collateral Account so that sufficient Liquid Collateral is at all times prior to the date of Final Completion on deposit in the Liquid Collateral Account to satisfy the requirements described in this Section 5.11(c)(i) (regardless of whether any Additional Collateral Demand has been made).

       (ii) Without limiting Section 5.11(c)(i) above the Lessee shall transfer such Additional Liquid Collateral to the Liquid Collateral Account by the Additional Collateral Delivery Date to ensure that (A) the Adjusted Market Value, in the case of Properly Margined Liquid Collateral, or (B) the Fair Market Sales Value, in the case of Non-Properly Margined Liquid Collateral (with respect to the foregoing subsections (A) and (B) in which the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, has a first priority perfected security interest) shall be greater than or equal to the applicable Required Liquid Collateral Amount.

       (d) Pursuant to the Liquid Collateral Agreements, the Agent shall have the right to direct the reinvestment of any Pledged Securities credited to the Liquid Collateral Account upon the maturity of such Pledged Securities or prior thereto into one or more Permitted Investments constituting Liquid Collateral.
 
       (e) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) any Permitted Investments transferred to the Liquid Collateral Account pursuant to Sections 5.11(a), 5.11(c) or 5.11(d) or otherwise shall be deemed Pledged Securities for the purposes of this Agreement, (ii) on any transfer date, the Agent shall instruct the Lessee and the Intermediary to take or cause to be taken, and the Lessee and the Intermediary shall take or cause to be taken, at the Lessee’s sole cost and expense, such action as is necessary to create in the Lessor a valid perfected first priority security interest on such date in such Pledged Securities, and (iii) on any transfer date, the Agent shall instruct the Lessee, the Lessor and the Intermediary to take or cause to be taken, and the Lessee, the Lessor and the Intermediary shall take or cause to be taken, at the Lessee’s sole cost and expense, such action as is necessary to create in the Agent a valid perfected first priority security interest on such date in the Lessor’s right, title and interest in, to and under such Pledged Securities. Without limiting the foregoing, the Agent is hereby authorized to complete Exhibit K hereto upon acquisition of such Pledged Securities and deposit of same into the Liquid Collateral Account.

16


 

       (f) To the extent no Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and to the extent the Liquid Collateral in the Liquid Collateral Account has an Adjusted Market Value (in the case of Properly Margined Liquid Collateral) or a Fair Market Sales Value (in the case of Non-Properly Margined Liquid Collateral) in excess of the Required Liquid Collateral Amount, the Lessee may request the Agent to cause some or all of such excess Liquid Collateral to be released from the Liquid Collateral Account and the lien of the Security Documents. In such case, the Agent shall instruct the Intermediary to release such specified excess Liquid Collateral to the Lessee or pursuant to the instruction of the Lessee.

          5.12. Unilateral Right to Increase the Lessor Commitments and the Lender Commitments.

          At the request of the Lessee or the Construction Agent and in connection with a Requisition, (a) after an increase in the Lessor Commitments has been approved in accordance with Section 12.4, the Lessor, in its sole discretion, may unilaterally elect to increase its Lessor Commitment and (b) after an increase in the Lender Commitments has been approved in accordance with Section 12.4, each Investor, in its sole discretion, may unilaterally elect to increase its Lender Commitment.

          5.13. Lessee’s Right to Request Assignment of Mortgage Notes.

          On a one time basis after the Closing Date, the Lessee may request the Lenders (and if so requested, the Lenders shall use all reasonable efforts to comply) to assign some or all of (a) their then current Mortgage Loans, (b) in the case of the Investors, their then current Mortgage Loan Commitments and (c) (subject to this Section 5.13) associated right, title and interest as a Mortgage Lender pursuant to the Operative Agreements to one or more institutional investors identified by the Lessee. Such arrangement shall be accomplished in accordance with Section 10 of this Agreement.

Requisition for a Construction Advance to cover all anticipated punch list items necessary for Final Completion of the Property. To the extent the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.4 are satisfied or waived and prior to the termination of the Lender Commitments and the Lessor Commitments for the Property, the above-described Construction Advance shall be funded in accordance with the terms of the Operative Agreements into the Punch List Liquid Collateral Account, converted into Liquid Collateral and shall be subject to the Lien of the Punch List Liquid Collateral Agreements.

     Thereafter, the Construction Agent shall request funding for punch list items regarding the Property pursuant to a request for funding in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent describing the punch list items and the amounts payable therefor. Upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.4 with regard to each such request for funding, the Agent shall request the Intermediary to release Liquid Collateral as identified by the Construction Agent from the Punch List Liquid Collateral Account to fund such request for funding; provided, the amount of Liquid Collateral to be so released shall not exceed the aggregate amount of Liquid Collateral so deposited and retained in the Punch List Liquid Collateral Account pursuant to this Section 5.15). Upon each such release of Liquid Collateral from the Punch List Liquid Collateral Account, the Lessee shall be obligated immediately to replenish the Liquid Collateral Account with Liquid Collateral so that sufficient Liquid Collateral is at all times on deposit in the Liquid Collateral Account to satisfy the requirements described in Section 5.11(c)(i) (regardless of whether any Additional Collateral Demand has been made).

     All amounts deposited in the Punch List Liquid Collateral Account pursuant to this Section 5.15 from time to time shall constitute Advances for purposes of determining the Property Cost from the date of such Advance by the Lenders and the Lessor for deposit into the Punch List Liquid Collateral Account.

     5.16 Overdue Amounts.

     Unless otherwise expressly stated pursuant to any Operative Agreement, all amounts not paid when due and owing pursuant to any Operative Agreement shall bear Interest at the Overdue Rate from and including the due date for such amount to but excluding the date such amount is actually paid.

SECTION 5A. LESSOR ADVANCE.

      5A.1. Procedure for Lessor Advance.

       (a) Upon receipt from the Construction Agent by the Agent of a Requisition pursuant to Section 4.2, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lessor shall make an Advance under the Lessor Commitment equal to six percent (6%) of the amount requested in such Requisition on the Closing Date or on the date for any Construction Advance. The Lessor Advance shall be based on the Eurodollar Rate or the ABR, as designated by the Construction Agent in the Requisition.

       (b) To the extent that the Borrower shall have elected to terminate or reduce the amount of the Lender Commitments pursuant to Section 2.5(a) of a Credit Agreement, a pro rata election shall be deemed to have been made with respect to the Lender Commitment pursuant to Section 2.5(a) of the other Credit Agreement and with respect to the Lessor Commitments. On any date on which the Lender Commitments shall be reduced to zero (0) as a result of a Credit Agreement Event of Default (except for any Credit Agreement Event of Default which relates solely to the Lessor and does not relate to the Lessee, the Property or any other matter), the Lessor Commitments shall automatically be reduced to zero (0), and the Lessee shall prepay the Lessor Advances in full, together with accrued but unpaid Lessor Yield thereon and all other amounts owing to the Lessor under the Operative Agreements.

      5A.2. Lessor Yield.

       (a) The Lessor Advance shall bear yield calculated at the rate of Lessor Yield applicable from time to time. The Lessee shall pay as Basic Rent to the Agent for distribution to the Lessor the Lessor Yield in arrears on each Payment Date or as otherwise provided herein or in Section 8.7 of this Agreement.

       (b) If all or a portion of Lessor Yield shall not be received by the Lessor (or the Agent on behalf of the Lessor) when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) for any reason other than the failure of the Lessor to fund a Lessor Advance in regard to the payment of such Lessor Yield at a time when the conditions precedent under the Operative Agreements have been satisfied in connection with such funding, such overdue amount shall, without limiting the rights of the Lessor hereunder or under any other Operative Agreement, bear interest at the Lessor Overdue Rate, in each case from the date of nonpayment until paid (whether after or before judgment) and shall be paid upon demand. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, Lessor Yield shall be calculated at the Lessor Overdue Rate.

19


 

      5A.3. Scheduled Return of Lessor Advance.

    The outstanding amount of the Lessor Advance shall be due in full on the Expiration Date. On the Expiration Date, subject to the terms of this Agreement and subject to the rights of the Lessee in connection with its election of the Sale Option in accordance with the Operative Agreements (including without limitation relating to the Maximum Residual Guarantee Amount), the Lessor (or the Agent on behalf of the Lessor) shall receive from the Lessee as Basic Rent under the Lease the outstanding amount of the Lessor Advance then due, together with all accrued but unpaid Lessor Yield and all other amounts due to Lessor under the Operative Agreements.

      5A.4. Early Return of Lessor Advance.

       (a) Subject to Sections 11.2(e), 11.3 and 11.4 of this Agreement, the Lessor Advance may at any time and from time to time be prepaid by the Lessee as a payment of Supplemental Rent, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ irrevocable notice to the Agent, on behalf of the Lessor, specifying the date and amount of prepayment of the Lessor Advance. Upon receipt of such notice, the Agent shall promptly notify the Lessor thereof. If such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Amounts prepaid shall not be re-advanced.
 
       (b) If on any date the Agent or the Lessor shall receive any payment in respect of (i) any Casualty, Condemnation or Environmental Violation pursuant to Sections 15.1(a), 15.1(g) or 15.2 or Article XVI of the Lease (excluding any payments in respect thereof which are payable to Lessee in accordance with the Lease), or (ii) the Termination Value of the Property in connection with the delivery of a Termination Notice pursuant to Article XVI of the Lease, or (iii) the Termination Value of the Property or such other applicable amount in connection with the exercise of a Purchase Option under Article XX of the Lease or the exercise of the option of the Lessor to transfer the Property to the Lessee pursuant to Section 20.3 of the Lease, then in each case, the Agent or the Lessor shall receive such payment to be distributed in accordance with Section 8.7(b) of this Agreement.
 
       (c) Each prepayment of the Lessor Advances pursuant to Section 5A.4(a) shall be allocated to reduce the Property Cost based on the then current Property Cost immediately before giving effect to such prepayment. Each prepayment of the Lessor Advances pursuant to Section 5A.4(b) shall be allocated to reduce the Property Cost immediately before giving effect to such prepayment.
 
       (d) Each prepayment of the Lessor Advances (including without limitation pursuant to Sections 5A.4(a), 5A.4(b) or 5A.4(c)) shall be made on a Scheduled Interest Payment Date.

5A.5. Conversion and Continuation Options.
   
       (a) Subject to Section 5A.5(c), the Lessee may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Lessor Advances to ABR Lessor Advances by giving the Lessor at least three (3) Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election, provided, that any such conversion may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, and provided, further, to the extent an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the last day of any such Interest Period, the applicable Eurodollar Lessor Advances shall automatically be converted to ABR Lessor Advances. Subject to Section 5A.5(c), the Lessee may elect from time to time to convert ABR Lessor Advances to Eurodollar Lessor Advances by giving the Lessor at least three (3) Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election. All or any part of outstanding Lessor Advance may be converted as provided herein, provided, that (i) no ABR Lessor Advance may be converted into a Eurodollar Lessor Advance after the date that is one (1) month prior to the Expiration Date and (ii) such notice of conversion regarding any Eurodollar Lessor Advance shall contain an acknowledgment of the Lessee (subject to Section 5A.5(c)) of the requirements set forth in the definition of the term “Interest Period” including without limitation subparagraphs (A) through (D) thereof. The provisions of this Section 5A.5 are subject to Section 8.3(bb) of this Agreement.
 
       (b) Subject to the restrictions of Sections 5A.1 and 8.3(bb) of this Agreement, any Eurodollar Lessor Advance may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Lessee (subject to Section 5A.5(c)) giving irrevocable notice to the Lessor, in accordance with the applicable notice provision for the conversion of ABR Lessor Advances to Eurodollar Lessor Advances set forth herein, provided, that no Eurodollar Lessor Advance may be continued as such after the date that is one (1) month prior to the Expiration Date, provided, further, no Eurodollar Lessor Advance may be continued as such if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the last day of the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Lessor Advance, and provided, further, that if the Lessee (subject to Section 5A.5(c)) shall fail to give any required notice as described above or otherwise herein, or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, such Eurodollar Lessor Advance shall automatically be converted to an ABR Lessor Advance on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period.
 
       (c) The rights of the Lessee in this Section 5A.5 are subject to there being no Lease Default or Lease Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing at the time any such right is to be exercised. To the extent any Lease Default or Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and unless Lessor otherwise agrees in writing), any outstanding Eurodollar Lessor Advance will be converted into an ABR Lessor Advance at the end of the applicable Interest Period, and any ABR Lessor Advance will be continued as such. The rights of the Lessee shall be restored upon the cure or waiver of any such Lease Default or Lease Event of Default in accordance with the Operative Agreements.

21


 

5A.6. Computation of Lessor Yield.
   
       (a) Lessor Yield shall be calculated on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days for the actual days elapsed. Any change in the Lessor Yield resulting from a change in the Eurodollar Reserve Requirement shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective.
 
       (b) Pursuant to Section 12.12 of this Agreement, the calculation of Lessor Yield under this Section 5A.6 shall be made by the Agent. Each determination of Lessor Yield by the Agent shall be conclusive and binding absent demonstrable error.
 
       (c) If the Eurodollar Rate cannot be determined by the Agent in the manner specified in the definition of the term “Eurodollar Rate”, then commencing on the Payment Date next occurring and continuing until such time as the Eurodollar Rate can be determined by the Agent in the manner specified in the definition of such term, the outstanding Lessor Advance shall bear a yield at the ABR.

       (e) The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including without limitation counsel to the Borrower or the Lessee), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof and Wachovia Development Corporation as the Lessor for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Agent. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lessor, the Majority Secured Parties or all the Primary Financing Parties, as the case may be, as set forth in any Operative Agreement or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Primary Financing Parties against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements, and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Primary Financing Parties, all future holders of the Notes and future entities acting as the Lessor.
 
       (f) The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder (other than the failure of the Lessee to pay Basic Rent as and when due) unless the Agent has received written notice from a Primary Financing Party, the Lessee or the Borrower referring to this Agreement or such other Operative Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Agent receives such a notice, the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Primary Financing Parties and the Lessee. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Majority Secured Parties or otherwise as determined pursuant to intercreditor provisions of any other agreement among the Primary Financing Parties; provided, that unless and until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Primary Financing Parties; provided, further, the foregoing shall not limit the rights of the Lessor or the Majority Secured Parties or all the Primary Financing Parties, as the case may be, as described in this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement.
 
       (g) Each Primary Financing Party expressly acknowledges that neither the Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent hereinafter taken, including without limitation any review of the affairs of the Borrower or the Lessee, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent to any

\

  Primary Financing Party. Each Primary Financing Party represents to the Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Primary Financing Party, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the Lessee and made its own decision to make its Credit Loans or make its Mortgage Loans or to make its Lessor Advances and enter into this Agreement. Each Primary Financing Party also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Primary Financing Party, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the Lessee. The Agent agrees to provide to the Primary Financing Parties notices, reports and other documents that are customarily provided by the Agent in its capacity as Agent in transactions similar to the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Operative Agreements. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Primary Financing Parties by the Agent hereunder, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Primary Financing Party with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower or the Lessee which may come into the possession of the Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
 
       (h) Each of the Lessor and the Investors (based on each such party’s pro rata share of the aggregate Commitment) agree to indemnify the Agent, in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Lessee and without limiting any obligation of the Lessee under and in accordance with the terms of the Operative Agreements to do so), ratably according to their respective Commitment Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Notes and Lessor Advances shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their Commitment Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including without limitation at any time following the payment of the Notes and the Lessor Advances) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any of them in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Operative Agreements or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by any of them under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that no Primary Financing Party shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent, or its failure to use ordinary care in the handling of funds. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Notes and the Lessor Advances and all other amounts payable hereunder.

53


 

       (i) The Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or the Lessee as though the Agent were not the Agent hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements.
 
       (j) (i) The Agent may resign at any time as the Agent upon sixty (60) days’ notice to the Primary Financing Parties, the Borrower and, so long as no Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lessee. If the Agent shall resign as the Agent under this Agreement, a successor Agent shall be appointed by the Majority Secured Parties which successor Agent shall be subject to the approval of, so long as no Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lessee, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no successor Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the resigning Agent, the Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Primary Financing Parties and subject to the approval of, so long as no Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lessee, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, a successor Agent. Any successor Agent, however appointed, shall be a bank or trust company incorporated and doing business within the United States of America and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $200,000,000, if there be such an institution willing, able and legally qualified to perform the duties of the Agent hereunder upon reasonable or customary terms. If no successor Agent has accepted appointment as the Agent by the date which is sixty (60) days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s notice of resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Primary Financing Parties shall perform all of the duties of the Agent until such time, if any, as the Majority Secured Parties appoint a successor Agent, as provided for above. If no successor Agent shall have been appointed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.6(j)(i) on or before the effective date of such resignation, the Lessee shall pay Rent to such Person or Persons and at such location as the parties hereto shall agree at such time. Upon the effective date of such resignation, only such successor Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent and the retiring Agent’s rights, powers and duties in such capacity shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent resigns hereunder as the Agent, the provisions of this Section 8.6 shall inure to such retiring Agent’s benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Agent under this Agreement.

       (ii) The Agent may be removed (x) by any of the Majority Secured Parties in the case of fraud, misappropriation of funds or the commission of illegal acts by the Agent or where the Agent has failed to perform its obligations hereunder or under any other Operative Agreement in any material respect, or (y) any time at the request of any Primary Financing Party, but only with the consent of the Majority Secured Parties and so long as no Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lessee. Any such removal shall be effective upon the acceptance of appointment of a successor Agent in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (i) of this Section 8.6(j); provided, however, to the extent the Agent being replaced pursuant to clause (x) of this Section 8.6(j)(ii) is also a

54


 

  Lender, such Person shall not be permitted to vote in connection with the appointment or approval of a successor Agent pursuant to paragraph (i) of this Section 8.6(j).

       (k) Other than the exercise of reasonable care to assure the safe custody of the Collateral while being held by the Agent hereunder or under any other Operative Agreement, the Agent shall have no duty or liability to preserve rights pertaining thereto, it being understood and agreed that the Lessee shall be responsible for preservation of all rights in the Collateral, and the Agent shall be relieved of all responsibility for the Collateral upon surrendering it or tendering the surrender of it to the Lessee. The Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Agent accords its own property, which shall be no less than the treatment employed by a reasonable and prudent agent in the industry, it being understood that the Agent shall not have responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any of the Collateral.

     8.7. Payments.

       (a) The Lessee has agreed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to pay to (i) the Agent any and all Rent (excluding Excepted Payments) and any and all other amounts of any kind or type under any of the Operative Agreements due and owing or payable by the Lessee to any party hereto and (ii) each Person as appropriate the Excepted Payments. Promptly after receipt, the Agent shall apply and allocate, in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.7, such amounts received from the Lessee and all other payments, receipts and other consideration of any kind whatsoever received by the Agent pursuant to the Operative Agreements or otherwise received by the Agent or any of the Primary Financing Parties in connection with the Collateral. Ratable distributions among the Lenders and the Lessor under this Section 8.7 shall be made based on (in the case of the Lenders) the ratio of the outstanding Loans to the aggregate Property Cost and (in the case of the Lessor) the ratio of the outstanding Lessor Advances to the aggregate Property Cost.
 
       (b) Payments and other amounts received by the Agent from time to time in accordance with the terms of subparagraph (a) shall be applied and allocated as follows (subject in all cases to Section 8.7(c)):

       (i) Any such payment or amount identified as or deemed to be Basic Rent shall be applied and allocated by the Agent first, ratably to the Lenders and the Lessor for application and allocation to the payment of Interest on the Loans and to the payment of accrued Lessor Yield with respect to the Lessor Advances and thereafter the principal of the Loans which is due and payable on such date and the portion of the Lessor Advances which is due on such date; and second, if no Lease Default or Lease Event of Default is in effect, any excess shall be paid to such Person or Persons as the Lessee may designate; provided, that if a Lease Default or Lease Event of Default is in effect, such excess (if any) shall instead be

55


 

  held by the Agent until the earlier of (I) the first date thereafter on which no Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall be in effect (in which case such payments or returns shall then be made to such other Person or Persons as the Lessee may designate) and (II) the Maturity Date or the Expiration Date, as the case may be (or, if earlier, the date of any Acceleration), in which case such amounts shall be applied and allocated in the manner contemplated by Section 8.7(b)(iv).

56


 

  allocation to any and all other amounts owing under the Operative Agreements as the Lessor shall determine; provided, where no Event of Default shall exist and be continuing and a prepayment is made for any reason with respect to less than the full amount of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and the outstanding Lessor Advances, the proceeds shall be applied and allocated ratably to the Lenders and to the Lessor.
 
       (iv) An amount equal to (A) any such payment identified as a payment pursuant to Section 22.1(b) of the Lease (or otherwise) of the Maximum Residual Guarantee Amount (and any such lesser amount as may be required by Section 22.1(b) of the Lease) in respect of the Property and (B) any other amount payable upon any exercise of remedies after the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default not covered by Sections 8.7(b)(i) or 8.7(b)(iii) above (including without limitation any amount received in connection with an Acceleration which does not represent proceeds from the sale or liquidation of the Property shall be applied and allocated by the Agent first, ratably, to the payment of the principal and Interest balance of Credit Loans then outstanding, second, ratably to the payment of the principal and Interest balance of the Mortgage Loans then outstanding, third, ratably to the payment of the principal balance of all Lessor Advances plus all outstanding Lessor Yield with respect to such outstanding Lessor Advances, fourth, to the payment to the Hedge Providers of the outstanding termination payments payable to the Hedge Providers pursuant to the Hedging Agreements, fifth, to the payment of any other amounts owing to the Credit Lenders hereunder or under any of the other Operative Agreements (including without limitation the related Breakage Costs), sixth, to the payment of any other amounts owing to the Mortgage Lenders hereunder or under any of the other Operative Agreements (including without limitation the related Breakage Costs), seventh, to the payment of any other amounts owing to the Lessor hereunder or under any of the other Operative Agreements (including without limitation the related Breakage Costs), eighth, to the payment to the Hedge Providers of any and all other amounts owing to the Hedge Providers under the Operative Agreements (including without limitation Breakage Costs), and ninth, to the extent moneys remain after application and allocation pursuant to clauses first through eighth above, to the Agent for application and allocation to any other amounts owing under the Operative Agreements as the Lessor shall determine.

57


 

  partial payment thereon shall be applied and allocated as set forth in Section 8.7(b)(iv).
 
       (vi) The Agent in its reasonable judgment shall identify the nature of each payment or amount received by the Agent and apply and allocate each such amount in the manner specified above.

       (c) Upon the payment in full of all amounts then due and owing by the Lessee under the Operative Agreements (but subject to the distribution and allocation provisions of Section 8.7(b) above), any moneys remaining with the Agent shall be returned to the Lessee. It is agreed that, prior to the application and allocation of amounts received by the Agent and/or the Lessor in the order described in Section 8.7(b) above or any distribution of money to the Lessee, any such amounts shall first be applied and allocated to the payment of (i) any and all sums advanced by the Agent and/or the Lessor in order to preserve the Collateral or to preserve the Liens thereon, (ii) the expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale or lease, selling or otherwise disposing or realizing on the Collateral, or of any exercise by the Agent of its rights under the Security Documents, together with reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs and (iii) any and all other amounts reasonably owed to the Agent under or in connection with the transactions

     The Lessor shall not incur any liability to any Person in acting upon any signature, instrument, notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other document or paper reasonably believed by it to be genuine and believed by it in good faith to be signed by the proper party or parties. The Lessor may accept and rely upon a certified copy of a resolution of the board of directors or other governing body of any corporate party as conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted by such body and that the same is in full force and effect. As to any fact or matter the manner of ascertainment of which is not specifically prescribed herein, the Lessor may for all purposes of the Operative Agreements rely on an Officer’s Certificate of the relevant party, as to such fact or matter, and such certificate shall constitute full protection to the Lessor for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it reasonably in good faith in reliance thereon. In the administration of the Lessor’s duties, the Lessor may execute and perform its powers and duties directly or through agents or attorneys and may consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled Persons to be selected and employed by it, and the Lessor shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted reasonably in good faith by it in accordance with the advice or opinion of any such counsel, accountants or other skilled Persons and not contrary to the Operative Agreements.

If any award, compensation or proceeds of insurance are received by or turned over to the Agent or any Primary Financing Party in accordance with the Lease, in respect of any Casualty or Condemnation (collectively, as used in this Section 8.14, “proceeds”), and if a Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall not have occurred and be continuing, then the Agent and the Primary Financing Parties shall make available for expenses related to the Restoration of the Property, all such proceeds it receives pursuant to the terms of the Lease.

rata share of the aggregate Commitment) of the fees or expenses of any appraiser otherwise payable by the Lessor pursuant to Section 22.4 of the Lease.

     8.16 Bankruptcy Petition Against the Conduit.

     Each of the parties hereto (other than the Conduit) (by accepting the benefits of this Agreement) hereby agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Conduit any Insolvency Proceeding so long as any Commercial Paper Note issued by the Conduit shall be outstanding and there shall not have elapsed one year and one day since the last day on which any such Commercial Paper Note shall have been outstanding.

The Lessee shall make elections and exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 9 in a consistent manner with regard to each Credit Agreement. Failure to do so shall void the particular election or exercise of rights by the Lessee.

SECTION 10. TRANSFER OF INTEREST.

     10.1. Restrictions on Transfer.

       (a) Any Lender may participate, assign or transfer all or a portion of its interest hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements in accordance with Sections 9.7 and 9.8 of the applicable Credit Agreement; provided, that any Lender that participates, assigns or transfers all or a portion of its interest hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements shall deliver to the Agent a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance (as referenced in Section 9.8 of each Credit Agreement) for purposes of maintaining the Register and shall also deliver to the Lessee a copy of such Assignment and Acceptance for the Lessee’s records; provided, no such Assignment and Acceptance shall be required to be delivered to the Agent or the Lessee in connection with an assignment, participation or transfer by any Investor of its interest in or under the Liquidity Agreement except to the extent an assignment and acceptance is required thereunder. The Lessor may, subject to the rights of the Lessee under the Lease and the other Operative Agreements and to the Lien of the applicable Security Documents, directly or indirectly, assign, convey, appoint an agent with respect to enforcement of, or otherwise transfer any of its right, title or interest in or to the Property, the Lease and the other Operative Agreements (including without limitation any right to indemnification thereunder), or any other document relating to the Property or any interest in the Property as provided in the Lease to any Eligible Lessor; provided, in such case, so long as no Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lessee shall have the right to require the Lessor (unless such transfer or conveyance has already occurred, in which case the Lessee shall have the right to require such transferee) to transfer its interest to an Eligible Lessor selected by the Lessee, in its sole discretion; provided, further, the Lessor and/or its assignee shall be responsible for any cost or expense incurred by the Lessor in connection with any assignment, conveyance, appointment or transfer by the Lessor pursuant to this Section 10.1(a). The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall not apply to the obligations of the Lessor to transfer the Property to the Lessee or a third party purchaser pursuant to Article XXII of the Lease upon payment for the Property in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lease. The Lessee may not assign any of the Operative Agreements or any of its

63


 

  rights or obligations thereunder or with respect to the Property in whole or in part to any Person without the prior written consent of the Agent and the Primary Financing Parties.
 
       (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.1(a), no consent shall be required from the Agent, the Lessee or any Primary Financing Party (but Lessor shall provide one hundred eighty (180) days (or such shorter period as required by the Legal Requirement giving rise to the assignment, conveyance, appointment or transfer contemplated by this Section 10.1(b)) written notice to the Agent and the Lessee) in connection with any assignment, conveyance, appointment or transfer by the Lessor required by any Legal Requirement of all or any of its right, title or interest in or to the Property, the Lease and the other Operative Agreements (including without limitation any right to indemnification thereunder), or any other document relating to the Property or any interest in the Property as provided in the Lease to an Eligible Lessor; provided, in such case, so long as no Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lessee shall have the right to require the Lessor (unless such transfer or conveyance has already occurred, in which case the Lessee shall have the right to require such transferee) to transfer its interest to an Eligible Lessor selected by the Lessee, in its sole discretion; provided, further, the Lessee shall be responsible for any cost or expense incurred by the Lessor in connection with any assignment, conveyance, appointment or transfer by the Lessor pursuant to this Section 10.1(b).
 
       (c) The Lessee agrees to indemnify the Lessor for any loss, claim or increased costs incurred by the Lessor and quantified to the Lessee in writing by the Lessor in reasonable detail as a result of any change in GAAP that adversely affects the Lessor; provided, however, in the case of such a change in GAAP that adversely affects the Lessor, as long as no Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessee shall have the right to require the Lessor to transfer its interest to an Eligible Lessor selected by the Lessee, in its sole discretion; provided, further, nothing in the preceding proviso shall limit the obligation of the Lessee to provide the indemnity set forth in this Section 10.1(c).
 
       (d) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default by the Lessor (unless such Event of Default is a Lease Event of Default), the Lessee shall have the right to require the Lessor to transfer its interest in the Property and the Operative Agreements to an Eligible Lessor selected by the Lessee, in its sole discretion.
 
       (e) Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in any Operative Agreements, the Conduit may at any time assign, or grant a security interest in or sell a participation interest in, any Loan (or portion thereof) or Note (or portion thereof) to any Person. The parties to any such assignment, grant or sale of participation interest, shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for its acceptance and recording in its books and records, such agreement or document as may be satisfactory to such parties and the Deal Agent.
 
       (f) On or about July 1, 2003, certain businesses of Wachovia Securities, Inc. (“WSI”) will be transferred, assigned or otherwise conveyed (the occurrence of such

64


 

  event, the “Transfer”) to Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC or another newly formed Affiliate of WSI (“WCM”). For purposes of the Operative Agreements, each of the parties to this Agreement expressly consents to the assignment by WSI of all of its rights and obligations under the Operative Agreements to WCM simultaneous with the Transfer. For purposes of the Operative Agreements, each of the parties to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that upon the occurrence of the Transfer, such assignment shall be effective without any further action by any of the parties hereto or any other such Operative Agreement and from and after the Transfer: (i) WCM shall be a party to each Operative Agreement to which WSI had been a party and shall have all rights and obligations of WSI hereunder or thereunder, as the case may be, and (ii) WSI shall cease to be a party to any such Operative Agreement and shall be released from its obligations hereunder or thereunder, as the case may be.

     10.2. Effect of Transfer.

     From and after any transfer effected in accordance with this Section 10, the transferor shall be released, to the extent of such transfer, from its liability hereunder and under the other documents to which it is a party in respect of obligations to be performed on or after the date of such transfer; provided, however, that any transferor (excluding the Conduit in connection with any such transfer under or pursuant to the Liquidity Agreement) shall remain liable hereunder and under such other documents to the extent that the transferee shall not have assumed the obligations of the transferor thereunder. Upon any transfer by the Lessor or any other Primary Financing Party as above provided, any such transferee shall assume the obligations of the Lessor or such Primary Financing Party, as the case may be, and shall be deemed the “Lessor” and/or a “Primary Financing Party”, as the case may be, for all purposes of such documents and each reference herein to the transferor shall thereafter be deemed a reference to such transferee for all purposes, except as provided in the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding any transfer of all or a portion of the transferor’s interest as provided in this Section 10, the transferor shall be entitled to all benefits accrued and all rights vested prior to such transfer including without limitation rights to indemnification under any such document.

     10.3. Permitted Refinancing of Loans.

     Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any Operative Agreement, so long as no Lease Default or a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lessee may request the Agent to facilitate a refinancing of the Credit Loans and the Mortgage Loans with institutional investors in order to change the relative amount of Mortgage Loans to Credit Loans; provided, in any event, any such refinancing must be on terms and conditions that are reasonably satisfactory to all Financing Parties. Such request to the Agent shall be made pursuant to a notice from the Lessee to the Agent and the Primary Financing Parties delivered not less than thirty (30) days prior to the anticipated closing date for such assignment. Such assignment shall be accomplished in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.1 of this Agreement and Section 9.8 of the Credit Agreements. Concurrent with the effective date of such assignment, one or more amendment documents (in form and substance satisfactory to the Financing Parties, the Lessee and any such assignee) regarding the Operative Agreements shall also be executed and

65


 

effective in order to modify the Operative Agreements with regard to the inclusion of such institutional investors as Lenders.

67


 

Provider in writing and shall not take action with respect to such Claim without the consent of the Indemnity Provider for thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice by the Indemnity Provider; provided, however, that in the case of any such Claim, if action shall be required by law or regulation to be taken prior to the end of such period of thirty (30) days, such Indemnified Person shall endeavor to, in such notice to the Indemnity Provider, inform the Indemnity Provider of such shorter period, and no action shall be taken with respect to such Claim without the consent of the Indemnity Provider before seven (7) days before the end of such shorter period unless the Indemnified Person shall be required by such law or regulation to take action prior to the end of such seven (7) day period; provided, further, that the failure of such Indemnified Person to give the notices referred to in this sentence shall not diminish the Indemnity Provider’s obligation hereunder except to the extent such failure precludes the Indemnity Provider from contesting all or any part of such Claim, but only for the portion of the Claim that the Indemnity Provider is precluded from contesting.

     If, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Person (or such shorter period as the Indemnified Person has notified the Indemnity Provider is required by law or regulation for the Indemnified Person to respond to such Claim), the Indemnity Provider shall request in writing that such Indemnified Person respond to such Claim, the Indemnified Person shall, at the reasonable expense of the Indemnity Provider, in good faith conduct and control such action (including without limitation by pursuit of appeals) (provided, however, that (A) if such Claim, in the Indemnity Provider’s reasonable discretion, can be pursued by the Indemnity Provider on behalf of or in the name of such Indemnified Person, the Indemnified Person, at the Indemnity Provider’s request, shall allow the Indemnity Provider to conduct and control the response to such Claim and (B) in the case of any Claim (and notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing subsection (A)), the Indemnified Person may request in writing that the Indemnity Provider conduct and control the response to such Claim (with counsel to be selected by the Indemnity Provider and consented to by such Indemnified Person, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that any Indemnified Person may retain separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnity Provider in the event of a potential conflict of interest between such Indemnified Person and the Indemnity Provider)) by, in the sole discretion of the Person conducting and controlling the response to such Claim (1) resisting payment thereof, (2) not paying the same except under protest, if protest is necessary and proper, (3) if the payment be made, using reasonable efforts to obtain a refund thereof in appropriate administrative and judicial proceedings, or (4) taking such other action as is reasonably requested by the Indemnity Provider from time to time.

     The party controlling the response to any Claim shall consult in good faith with the non-controlling party and shall keep the non-controlling party reasonably informed as to the conduct of the response to such Claim; provided, that all decisions ultimately shall be made in the discretion of the controlling party. The parties agree that an Indemnified Person may at any time decline to take further action with respect to the response to such Claim and may settle such Claim if such Indemnified Person shall waive its rights to any indemnity from the Indemnity Provider that otherwise would be payable in respect of such Claim (and any future Claim, the pursuit of which is precluded by reason of such resolution of such Claim) and shall pay to the Indemnity Provider any amount previously paid or advanced by the Indemnity Provider pursuant to this Section 11.1 by way of indemnification or advance for the payment of an amount

68


 

regarding such Claim, except reasonable expenses therefrom incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the response to such Claim.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.1, an Indemnified Person shall not be required to take any action and the Indemnity Provider shall not be permitted to respond to any Claim in its own name or that of the Indemnified Person unless (A) the Indemnity Provider shall have agreed to pay and shall pay to such Indemnified Person on demand and on an After Tax Basis all reasonable costs, losses and expenses that such Indemnified Person actually incurs in connection with such Claim, including without limitation all reasonable legal, accounting and investigatory fees and disbursements and the Indemnity Provider shall have agreed that the Claim is an indemnifiable Claim hereunder, (B) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably determined that the action to be taken will not result in any material danger of sale, forfeiture or loss of the Property, or any part thereof or interest therein, will not interfere with the payment of Rent, and will not result in risk of criminal liability, (C) if such Claim shall involve the payment of any amount prior to the resolution of such Claim, the Indemnity Provider shall provide to the Indemnified Person an interest-free advance in an amount equal to the amount that the Indemnified Person is required to pay (with no additional net after-tax cost to such Indemnified Person) prior to the date such payment is due, (D) in the case of an appeal of an adverse determination of a Claim that must be pursued in the name of an Indemnified Person (or an Affiliate thereof), the Indemnity Provider shall have provided to such Indemnified Person an opinion of independent counsel selected by the Indemnity Provider and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person stating that the position asserted in such appeal will more likely than not prevail and (E) no Event of Default by the Indemnity Provider shall have occurred and be continuing. In no event shall an Indemnified Person be required to appeal an adverse judicial determination to the United States Supreme Court. In addition, an Indemnified Person shall not be required to contest any Claim in its name (or that of an Affiliate) if the subject matter thereof shall be of a continuing nature and shall have previously been decided adversely to the position taken by the Indemnity Provider by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to the contest provisions of this Section 11.1, unless there shall have been a change in law (or interpretation thereof) and the Indemnified Person shall have received, at the Indemnity Provider’s expense, an opinion of independent counsel selected by the Indemnity Provider and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person stating that as a result of such change in law (or interpretation thereof), it is more likely than not that the Indemnified Person will prevail in such contest. In no event shall the Indemnity Provider be permitted to adjust or settle any Claim without the consent of the Indemnified Person to the extent any such adjustment or settlement involves, or is reasonably likely to involve, any performance by or adverse admission by or with respect to the Indemnified Person.

     11.2. General Tax Indemnity.

           (a) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11.7 hereof, the Indemnity Provider shall pay and assume liability for, and does hereby agree to indemnify, protect and defend the Property and all Indemnified Persons, and hold them harmless against, all Impositions on an After Tax Basis, and all payments pursuant to the Operative Agreements shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present and future Impositions.

69


 

       (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.2(a) hereof, the following shall be excluded from the indemnity required by Section 11.2(a):

       (i) Taxes (other than Taxes that are, or are in the nature of, sales, use, rental, value added, ad valorem, transfer or property taxes) that are imposed on a Indemnified Person by the United States federal government that are based on or measured by the net income (including without limitation taxes based on capital gains and minimum taxes) of such Person; provided, that this clause (i) shall not be interpreted to prevent a payment from being made on an After Tax Basis if such payment is otherwise required to be so made;
 
       (ii) Taxes (other than Taxes that are, or are in the nature of, sales, use, rental, value added, ad valorem, transfer or property taxes) that are imposed on any Indemnified Person by any state or local jurisdiction or taxing authority within any state or local jurisdiction and that are based upon or measured by the net income (including without limitation taxes based on capital gains and minimum taxes) of such Person; provided that such Taxes shall not be excluded under this subparagraph (ii) to the extent such Taxes would have been imposed had the location, possession or use of the Property in, the location or the operation of the Lessee in, or the Lessee’s making payments under the Operative Agreements from, the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes been the sole connection between such Indemnified Person and the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes; provided, further, that this clause (ii) shall not be interpreted to prevent a payment from being made on an After Tax Basis if such payment is otherwise required to be so made;
 
       (iii) any Tax to the extent it relates to any act, event or omission that occurs after the termination of the Lease and redelivery or sale of the Property in accordance with the terms of the Lease (but not any Tax that relates to such termination, redelivery or sale and/or to any period prior to such termination, redelivery or sale);
 
       (iv) any Taxes which are imposed on an Indemnified Person as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person itself, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (as opposed to gross negligence or willful misconduct imputed to such Indemnified Person), but not Taxes imposed as a result of ordinary negligence of such Indemnified Person; and
 
       (v) Impositions imposed or assessed by the PBGC on any Financing Party or on any pension plan (as defined in ERISA Section 3(2)) maintained by any Financing Party.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exclusions from the definition of “Impositions” set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) shall not apply (but the other exclusions shall apply) to any Taxes or increase in Taxes imposed on an Indemnified Person net of any decrease in Taxes realized by

70


 

such Indemnified Person, to the extent that such tax increase or decrease would not have occurred if on each date of an Advance the Primary Financing Parties has advanced funds to the Lessee in the form of a loan secured by the Property in an amount equal to the Acquisition and Construction Advances funded on such date of an Advance, with debt service equal to the Basic Rent payable on each Schedule Interest Payment Date and a principal balance at the maturity of such loan in an amount equal to the then outstanding amount of the Notes at the end of the term of the Lease.

       (c) (i) Subject to the terms of Section 11.2(f) and 11.7, the Indemnity Provider shall pay or cause to be paid in a timely manner all Impositions directly to the taxing authorities where feasible and otherwise to the Indemnified Person, as appropriate, and the Indemnity Provider shall at its own expense, upon such Indemnified Person’s reasonable request, furnish to such Indemnified Person copies of official receipts or other satisfactory proof evidencing such payment.

       (ii) In the case of Impositions for which no contest is conducted pursuant to Section 11.2(f) and which the Indemnity Provider pays directly to the taxing authorities, the Indemnity Provider shall pay such Impositions prior to the latest time permitted by the relevant taxing authority for timely payment. In the case of Impositions for which the Indemnity Provider reimburses an Indemnified Person, the Indemnity Provider shall do so within ten (10) days after receipt by the Indemnity Provider of demand by such Indemnified Person describing in reasonable detail the nature of the Imposition and the basis for the demand (including without limitation the computation of the amount payable), accompanied by receipts or other reasonable evidence of such demand. In the case of Impositions for which a contest is conducted pursuant to Section 11.2(f), the Indemnity Provider shall pay such Impositions or reimburse such Indemnified Person for such Impositions, to the extent not previously paid or reimbursed pursuant to subsection (a), prior to the latest time permitted by the relevant taxing authority for timely payment after conclusion of all contests under Section 11.2(f).
 
       (iii) At the Indemnity Provider’s request, the amount of any indemnification payment by the Indemnity Provider pursuant to subsection (a) shall be verified and certified by an independent public accounting firm mutually acceptable to the Indemnity Provider and the Indemnified Person. The fees and expenses of such independent public accounting firm shall be paid by the Indemnity Provider unless such verification shall result in an adjustment in the Indemnity Provider’s favor of ten percent (10%) or more of the payment as computed by the Indemnified Person, in which case such fee shall be paid by the Indemnified Person.

       (d) The Indemnity Provider shall be responsible for preparing and filing any real and personal property or ad valorem tax returns in respect of the Property. In case any other report or tax return shall be required to be made with respect to any obligations of the Indemnity Provider under or arising out of subsection (a) and of which the

71


 

  Indemnity Provider has knowledge or should have knowledge, the Indemnity Provider, at its sole cost and expense, shall notify the relevant Indemnified Person of such requirement and (except if such Indemnified Person notifies the Indemnity Provider that such Indemnified Person intends to prepare and file such report or return) (A) to the extent required or permitted by and consistent with Legal Requirements, make and file in the Indemnity Provider’s name such return, statement or report; and (B) in the case of any other such return, statement or report required to be made in the name of such Indemnified Person, advise such Indemnified Person of such fact and prepare such return, statement or report for filing by such Indemnified Person or, where such return, statement or report shall be required to reflect items in addition to any obligations of the Indemnity Provider under or arising out of subsection (a), provide such Indemnified Person at the Indemnity Provider’s expense with information sufficient to permit such return, statement or report to be properly made with respect to any obligations of the Indemnity Provider under or arising out of subsection (a) no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the due date thereof. Such Indemnified Person shall, upon the Indemnity Provider’s request and at the Indemnity Provider’s expense, provide any data maintained by such Indemnified Person (and not otherwise available to or within the control of the Indemnity Provider) with respect to the Property which the Indemnity Provider may reasonably require to prepare any required tax returns or reports.
 
       (e) As between the Indemnity Provider on one hand, and each Financing Party on the other hand, the Indemnity Provider shall be responsible for, and the Indemnity Provider shall indemnify and hold harmless each Financing Party (without duplication of any indemnification required by subsection (a)) on an After Tax Basis against, any obligation for United States or foreign withholding taxes or similar levies, imposts, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (collectively, “Withholdings”) imposed in respect of the Interest payable on the Notes or with respect to any other payments under the Operative Agreements (all such payments being referred to herein as “Exempt Payments” to be made without deduction, withholding or set off) (and, if any Financing Party receives a demand for such payment from any taxing authority or a Withholding is otherwise required with respect to any Exempt Payment, the Indemnity Provider shall discharge such demand on behalf of such Financing Party); provided, however, that the obligation of the Indemnity Provider under this Section 11.2(e) shall not apply to:

       (i) Withholdings on any Exempt Payment to any Financing Party which is a non-U.S. Person unless such Financing Party is, on the date hereof (or on the date it becomes a Financing Party hereunder) and on the date of any change in the principal place of business or the lending office of such Financing Party, entitled to submit a Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI or successor applicable form, certifying in each case that such party is entitled under Section 1441 or 1442 of the Code or any other applicable provision thereof or under any applicable tax treaty or convention to receive payments pursuant to the Operative Agreements without deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax and is a foreign Person thereby entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding taxes (except where the failure of the exemption results from a change in the principal place of business of the Lessee); provided,

72


 

  however, if a failure of the exemption is due to a change in law after the date hereof or in the case of a Financing Party that acquires its interest after the date hereof, a change in law occurring after such date, then the Indemnity Provider shall be liable for any withholding resulting therefrom; or
 
       (ii) Any U.S. Taxes imposed solely by reason of the failure by a non-U.S. Person to comply with applicable certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connections with the United States of America of such non-U.S. Person if such compliance is required by statute or regulation of the United States of America as a precondition to relief or exemption from such U.S. Taxes if the Indemnity Provider has provided such certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements to the Financing Party on a timely basis and the Financing Party is eligible for such relief or exemption.

  For the purposes of this Section 11.2(e), (A) “U.S. Person” shall mean a citizen, national or resident of the United States of America, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under any laws of the United States of America or any State thereof, or any estate or trust that is subject to Federal income taxation regardless of the source of its income, (B) “U.S. Taxes” shall mean any present or future tax, assessment or other charge or levy imposed by or on behalf of the United States of America or any taxing authority thereof or therein, (C) “Form W-8BEN” shall mean Form W-8BEN (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Withholding) of the Department of the Treasury of the United States of America and (D) “Form W-8ECI” shall mean Form W-8ECI (Certificate of Foreign Person’s Claim for Exemption from Withholding on Income Effectively Connected with the Conduct of a Trade or Business in the United States) of the Department of the Treasury of the United States of America (or in relation to either such Form such successor and related forms as may from time to time be adopted by the relevant taxing authorities of the United States of America to document a claim to which such Form relates). Each of the Forms referred to in the foregoing clauses (C) and (D) shall include such successor and related forms as may from time to time be adopted by the relevant taxing authorities of the United States of America to document a claim to which such Form relates.
 
       If a Financing Party or an Affiliate with whom such Financing Party files a consolidated tax return (or equivalent) subsequently receives the benefit in any country of a tax credit or an allowance resulting from U.S. Taxes with respect to which it has received a payment of an additional amount under this Section 11.2(e), such Financing Party will pay to the Indemnity Provider such part of that benefit as in the opinion of such Financing Party will leave it (after such payment) in a position no more and no less favorable than it would have been in if no additional payment had been required to be paid, provided always that (i) such Financing Party will be the sole judge of the amount of any such benefit and of the date on which it is received, (ii) such Financing Party will have the absolute discretion as to the order and manner in which it employs or claims tax credits and allowances available to it and (iii) such Financing Party will not be obliged to disclose to the Borrower any information regarding its tax affairs or tax computations. A

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1.1 Definitions.

     For purposes of this Lease, capitalized terms used in this Lease and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in Appendix A to that certain Amended and Restated Participation Agreement dated as of June 30, 2003 (as amended, modified, extended, supplemented and/or restated from time to time in accordance with the applicable provisions thereof, the “Participation Agreement”) among Lessee, Lessor, the Conduit, the various financial institutions which are parties thereto from time to time as additional Lenders, Wachovia Securities, LLC, as the Deal Agent, Wachovia Bank, National Association, as agent for the Primary Financing Parties and, respecting the Security Documents, as the agent for the Secured Parties.

Each Renewal Term, if any, shall commence on the day immediately following the Basic Term Expiration Date or the last day of the first or second Renewal Term, as applicable.

     2.3 Title.

     The Property is leased to Lessee without any representation or warranty, express or implied, by Lessor and subject to the rights of parties in possession (if any), the state of title (including without limitation the Permitted Liens) existing as of the Commencement Date, and all applicable Legal Requirements. Lessee shall in no event have any recourse against Lessor for any defect in Lessor’s title to the Property or any interest of Lessee therein other than for Lessor Liens.

All charges for Impositions or utilities imposed with respect to the Property for a period during which this Lease expires or terminates shall be adjusted and prorated on a daily basis between Lessor and Lessee, and each party shall pay or reimburse the other for such party’s pro rata share thereof.

ARTICLE VII

     7.1 Ownership of the Property.

       (a) Lessor and Lessee intend that (i) for financial accounting purposes with respect to Lessee (A) this Lease will be treated as an “operating lease” pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, as amended, (B) Lessor will be the owner and lessor of the Property and (C) Lessee will be the lessee of the Property, but (ii) for federal and all state and local income tax purposes, and for all bankruptcy purposes (including the substantive law upon which bankruptcy proceedings are based), (A) this Lease will be treated as a financing arrangement and (B) Lessee will be treated as the owner of the Property and will be entitled to all tax benefits ordinarily available to owners of property similar to the Property for such tax purposes.

Lessee shall claim the cost recovery deductions associated with the Property, and Lessor shall not, unless prohibited by Law, take on its tax return a position inconsistent with Lessee’s claim of such deductions. It is the further intent of Lessor and Lessee that this Lease and the transaction evidenced by the Operative Agreements conform with and satisfy the requirements of, to the extent applicable, FASB Interpretation No. 46, Emerging Issues Task Force, 1997\Issue 97-1 and Emerging Issues Task Force, 1997\Issue 97-10.

       (b) In order to secure the obligations of Lessee now existing or hereafter arising under any and all Operative Agreements, Lessee hereby conveys, grants, assigns, transfers, hypothecates, mortgages and sets over to Lessor, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a first priority security interest in and lien on all right, title and interest of Lessee (now owned or hereafter acquired) in and to the Property, Casualty and Condemnation proceeds, proceeds from any insurance required by the Insurance Requirements and the proceeds of each of the foregoing to the extent such is personal property and irrevocably grants and conveys a lien, deed of trust or mortgage, as applicable, on all right, title and interest of Lessee (now owned or hereafter acquired) in and to the Property to the extent such is real property.

Lessee and Lessor further intend and agree that notifications to Persons holding such proceeds, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from financial intermediaries, bankers or agents (as applicable) of Lessee, when given, shall be deemed to have been given for the purpose of perfecting the foregoing lien, security interest, mortgage lien or deed of trust, as applicable, under applicable law. Lessee shall promptly take such actions as necessary (including without limitation the filing of Primary Financing Party Financing Statements and memoranda (or short forms) of this Lease and the Lease Supplement) to ensure that the lien, security interest, mortgage lien or deed of trust, as applicable, in the Property and the other items referenced above will be deemed

8

       (a) During the Term, Lessee shall keep the Property insured against all risk of physical loss or damage by fire and other risks covered under an all risk, extended coverage or “special form” policy of insurance and shall maintain builders’ risk insurance during construction of any Improvements or Modifications in each case in amounts no less than the Termination Value from time to time and on terms that (i) are no less favorable than insurance covering other similar properties owned by Lessee and (ii) are then carried by similarly situated companies conducting business similar to that conducted by Lessee. The policies shall name Lessee as the insured and shall be endorsed to name Lessor and the Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) as mortgagees and loss payees, as their interests may appear; provided, so long as no Lease Event of Default exists, any and all losses shall be adjusted by Lessee, and any loss payable under the insurance policies required by this Section for losses up to $1,000,000 will be paid to Lessee.

       (b) If, during the Term with respect to the Property the area in which the Property is located is designated a “flood-prone” area pursuant to the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, or any amendments or supplements thereto or is in a zone designated A or V, then Lessee shall comply with the National Flood Insurance Program as set forth in the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973. In addition, Lessee will fully comply with the requirements of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 and the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as each may be amended from time to time, and with any other Legal Requirement, concerning flood insurance to the extent that it applies to the Property. During the Term, Lessee shall comply with workers’ compensation laws applicable to Lessee and protect the Agent and each Primary Financing Party against any liability under such laws.

     14.3 Coverage.

       (a) As of the date of this Lease and annually thereafter during the Term, Lessee shall furnish the Agent (on behalf of each Primary Financing Party and the other beneficiaries of such insurance coverage) with certificates, in form and substance

16


 

  reasonably satisfactory to Agent, prepared by the insurers or insurance broker of Lessee showing the insurance required under Sections 14.1 and 14.2 to be in effect, naming (to the extent of their respective interests) the Agent and each Primary Financing Party as additional insureds (in the case of liability insurance) and the Lessor and the Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) as mortgagees and loss payees (in the case of property/hazard, builders’ risk and flood insurance) and evidencing the other requirements of this Article XIV. All such insurance shall be at the cost and expense of Lessee and provided by nationally recognized, financially sound insurance companies having an A or better rating by A.M. Best’s Key Rating Guide and a rating by S&P or Moody’s of A or A2, respectively, or better. Lessee shall cause such certificates to include a provision for ten (10) days’ advance written notice by the insurer to the Agent (on behalf of Lessor, each Primary Financing Party and the other beneficiaries of such insurance coverage) in the event of cancellation or material alteration of such insurance. If a Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Agent (on behalf of any of the Financing Parties) so requests, Lessee shall deliver to the Agent (on behalf of the Financing Parties) copies of all insurance policies required by Sections 14.1 and 14.2.

       (b) Lessee agrees that the insurance policy or policies required by Sections 14.1, 14.2(a) and 14.2(b) shall include an appropriate clause pursuant to which any such policy shall provide that it will not be invalidated with respect to the rights of the Agent or any Primary Financing Party should Lessee or any contractor, as the case may be, have waived any or all rights of recovery against any party for losses covered by such policy or due to any breach of warranty, fraud, action, inaction or misrepresentation by Lessee or any Person acting on behalf of Lessee. Lessee hereby waives any and all such rights against the Agent and each Primary Financing Party to the extent of payments made to any such Person under any such policy.

       (c) Lessee shall not carry separate insurance concurrent in kind or form or contributing in the event of loss with any insurance required under this Article XIV.

       (d) Lessee shall pay as they become due all premiums for the insurance required by Section 14.1 and Section 14.2, shall renew or replace each policy prior to the expiration date thereof or otherwise maintain the coverage required by such Sections without any lapse in coverage.

     14.4 Policies.

     All insurance required by this Article XIV may be provided under (i) an individual policy covering the Property, (ii) a blanket policy or policies which includes other liabilities, properties and locations of Lessee, (iii) an increased coverage or “umbrella policy” provided and utilized to increase the coverage provided by individual or blanket policies in lower amounts (provided the aggregate limits of liability shall comply with the provisions of this Article XIV) or (iv) a combination of any of the foregoing insurance programs.

ARTICLE XV

     15.1 Casualty and Condemnation.

       (a) Subject to the provisions of this Article XV and Article XVI (in the event Lessee delivers, or is obligated to deliver or is deemed to have delivered, a Termination Notice), and prior to the occurrence and continuation of a Lease Default or a Lease Event of Default, Lessee shall be entitled to receive (and Lessor hereby irrevocably assigns to Lessee all of Lessor’s right, title and interest in) any condemnation proceeds, award, compensation or insurance proceeds under Sections 14.2(a) or 14.2(b) hereof to which Lessee or Lessor may become entitled by reason of their respective interests in the Property (i) if all or a portion of the Property is damaged or destroyed in whole or in part by a Casualty or (ii) if the use, access, occupancy, easement rights or title to the Property or any part thereof is the subject of a Condemnation; provided, however, if a Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or if such condemnation proceeds, award, compensation or insurance proceeds shall exceed $1,000,000, then such condemnation proceeds, award, compensation or insurance proceeds shall be paid directly to Lessor or, if received by Lessee, shall be held in trust for Lessor, and shall be paid over by Lessee to Lessor and held in accordance with the terms of this Article XV. All such amounts in excess of $1,000,000 held by Lessor hereunder on account of any condemnation proceeds, award, compensation or insurance proceeds either paid directly to Lessor or turned over to Lessor shall be held, subject to the terms of this Article XV, as security for the performance of Lessee’s obligations hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements.

       (b) Lessee may appear in any proceeding or action to negotiate, prosecute, adjust or appeal any claim for any award, compensation or insurance payment on account of any such Casualty or Condemnation and shall pay all expenses thereof. At Lessee’s reasonable request, and at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, Lessor and the Agent shall participate in any such proceeding, action, negotiation, prosecution or adjustment. Lessor and Lessee agree that this Lease shall control the rights of Lessor and Lessee in and to any such award, compensation or insurance payment.

       (c) If Lessee shall receive notice of a Casualty or a Condemnation of the Property or any interest therein where damage to the Property is estimated to equal or exceed thirty-five percent (35%) of the Property Cost, Lessee shall give notice thereof to Lessor promptly after Lessee’s receipt of such notice. In the event such a Casualty or Condemnation occurs (regardless of whether Lessee gives notice thereof), then Lessee shall be deemed to have delivered a Termination Notice to Lessor and the provisions of Sections 16.1 and 16.2 shall apply.

       (d) In the event of a Casualty or a Condemnation (regardless of whether notice thereof must be given pursuant to paragraph (c)), this Lease shall terminate with respect to the Property in accordance with Section 16.1 if Lessee, within thirty (30) days after such occurrence, delivers to Lessor a notice to such effect.

18


 

       (e) If pursuant to this Section 15.1 this Lease shall continue in full force and effect following a Casualty or Condemnation with respect to the Property, Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense (and, unless a Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, using the proceeds of any award, compensation or insurance with respect to such Casualty or Condemnation, including without limitation any such condemnation proceeds, award, compensation or insurance which has been received by Lessor or the Agent; provided, prior to Lessee using any such proceeds of any award, compensation or insurance and prior to the payment of the same from Lessor to Lessee, Lessee must give Lessor reasonable evidence of the applicable restoration and repair work regarding the Property), promptly and diligently repair any damage to the Property caused by such Casualty or Condemnation in conformity with the requirements of Sections 10.1 and 11.1, using the as-built plans and specifications or manufacturer’s specifications for the applicable Improvements, Equipment or other components of the Property (as modified to give effect to any subsequent Modifications, any Condemnation affecting the Property and all applicable Legal Requirements), so as to restore the Property to the same or a greater remaining economic value, useful life, utility, condition, operation and function as existed immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation (assuming all maintenance and repair standards have been satisfied). In such event, title to the Property shall remain with Lessor.

       If any Lease Default or Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and any Loans, Lessor Advances or other amounts are due and owing to any Financing Party pursuant to the Operative Agreements, Lessee shall promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days of the date Lessee receives any such amount) pay Lessor any award, compensation or insurance proceeds received on account of any Casualty or Condemnation with respect to the Property and any Excess Proceeds. All such awards, compensation, insurance proceeds and Excess Proceeds shall be held as security for the performance of Lessee’s obligations hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements and applied to such obligations upon the exercise of remedies in connection with the occurrence of a Lease Event of Default.

       (f) In no event shall a Casualty or Condemnation affect Lessee’s obligations to pay Rent pursuant to Article III.

       (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 15.1(a) or Section 15.1(e), if during the Term a Casualty occurs with respect to the Property or Lessee receives notice of a Condemnation with respect to the Property, and following such Casualty or Condemnation, the Property cannot reasonably be restored, repaired or replaced on or before the day one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the end of the Term or the date nine (9) months after the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation (if such Casualty or Condemnation occurs during the Term) to the same or a greater remaining economic value, useful life, utility, condition, operation and function as existed immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation (assuming all maintenance and repair standards have been satisfied) or on or before such day the Property is not in fact so restored, repaired or replaced, then Lessee shall be required to exercise its Purchase Option for the Property on the next Payment Date (notwithstanding the limits

19


 

  on such exercise contained in Section 20.2) and pay Lessor the Termination Value for the Property. If a Lease Default or a Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and any Loans, Lessor Advance or other amounts are owing with respect thereto, then any Excess Proceeds (to the extent of any such Loans, Lessor Advance or other amounts owing with respect thereto) shall be paid to Lessor, held as security for the performance of Lessee’s obligations hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements and applied to such obligations upon the exercise of remedies in connection with the occurrence of a Lease Event of Default, with the remainder of such Excess Proceeds in excess of such Loans, Lessor Advance and other amounts owing with respect thereto being distributed to the Lessee.

     15.2 Environmental Matters.

     Promptly upon Lessee’s actual knowledge of the presence of Hazardous Substances in any portion of the Property in concentrations and conditions that constitute an Environmental Violation and which, in the reasonable opinion of Lessee, the cost to undertake any legally required response, clean up, remedial or other action will or might result in a cost to Lessee of more than $100,000, Lessee shall notify Lessor in writing of such condition. In the event of any Environmental Violation (regardless of whether notice thereof must be given), Lessee shall, not later than thirty (30) days after Lessee has actual knowledge of such Environmental Violation, either deliver to Lessor a Termination Notice with respect to the Property pursuant to Section 16.1, if applicable, or, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, promptly during such thirty (30) day period deliver to Lessor notice of intention to remediate, and thereafter promptly and diligently undertake and complete any response, clean up, remedial or other action (including without limitation the pursuit by Lessee of appropriate action against any off-site or third party source for contamination) necessary to remove, cleanup or remediate the Environmental Violation in compliance with all Environmental Laws. Any such undertaking shall be timely completed in accordance with prudent industry standards. If Lessee does not deliver a Termination Notice with respect to the Property pursuant to Section 16.1, Lessee shall, upon completion of remedial action by Lessee, cause to be prepared by a reputable environmental consultant reasonably acceptable to Agent a report describing the Environmental Violation and the actions taken by Lessee (or its agents) in response to such Environmental Violation, and a statement by the consultant that the Environmental Violation has been remedied in compliance with applicable Environmental Law. Not less than sixty (60) days and not more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to any time that Lessee elects to cease operations with respect to the Property or to re-market the Property pursuant to the Sale Option pursuant to Section 20.1 hereof or pursuant to any other provision of any Operative Agreement, Lessee at its expense shall cause to be delivered to Agent a Phase I environmental site assessment (or an update of a prior Phase I environmental site assessment) respecting the Property recently prepared (no more than thirty (30) days prior to the date of delivery) by an independent recognized professional acceptable to Agent in its reasonable discretion and in form, scope and content satisfactory to Agent in its reasonable discretion. If Lessee fails to comply with the foregoing obligation regarding the Phase I environmental site assessment, Lessee shall be obligated to purchase the Property for its Termination Value and shall not be permitted to exercise (and Lessor shall have no obligation to honor any such exercise) any rights under any

20


 

Operative Agreement regarding a sale of the Property to a Person other than Lessee or any Affiliate or other designee of Lessee.

     15.3 Notice of Environmental Matters.

     Promptly, but in any event within fifteen (15) days from the date Lessee has actual knowledge thereof, Lessee shall provide to Lessor written notice of any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding involving any Environmental Law or any Release on or in connection with the Property. All such notices shall describe in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, action or proceeding and Lessee’s proposed response thereto. In addition, Lessee shall provide to Lessor, within ten (10) days of receipt, copies of all material written communications with any Governmental Authority relating to any Environmental Law in connection with the Property. Lessee shall also promptly provide such detailed reports of any such material environmental claims as may reasonably be requested by Lessor.

ARTICLE XVI

     16.1 Termination Upon Certain Events.

     If Lessee has delivered, or is deemed to have delivered, written notice of a termination of this Lease to Lessor in the form described in Section 16.2(a) (a “Termination Notice”) pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, then following the applicable Casualty, Condemnation or Environmental Violation, this Lease shall terminate upon the payment in full of the Termination Value for the Property in accordance with the terms of the Operative Agreements on the applicable Termination Date.

     16.2 Procedures.

       (a) A Termination Notice shall contain: (i) notice of termination of this Lease on a Payment Date not more than sixty (60) days after Lessor’s receipt of such Termination Notice (the “Termination Date”); and (ii) a binding and irrevocable agreement of Lessee to pay the Termination Value for the Property and purchase the Property on such Termination Date.

     17.2 Surrender of Possession.

     If a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred after the Commencement Date and be continuing, and whether or not this Lease shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 17.1, Lessee shall, upon thirty (30) days written notice, surrender to Lessor possession of the Property. Lessor may enter upon and repossess the Property by such means as are available at law or in equity, and may remove Lessee and all other Persons and any and all personal property and Lessee’s equipment and personalty and severable Modifications from the Property. Lessor shall have no liability by reason of any such entry, repossession or removal performed in accordance with applicable law. Upon the written demand of Lessor, Lessee shall return the Property promptly to Lessor, in the manner and condition required by, and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of, Section 22.1(c) hereof.

     17.3 Reletting.

     If a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred after the Commencement Date and be continuing, and whether or not this Lease shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 17.1, Lessor may, but shall be under no obligation to, relet any or all of the Property, for the account of Lessee or otherwise, for such term or terms (which may be greater or less than the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term) and on such conditions (which may include concessions or free rent) and for such purposes as Lessor may determine, and Lessor may collect, receive and retain the rents resulting from such reletting. Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee for any failure to relet the Property or for any failure to collect any rent due upon such reletting.

     17.4 Damages.

     Neither (a) the termination of this Lease as to the Property pursuant to Section 17.1; (b) the repossession of the Property; nor (c) the failure of Lessor to relet the Property, the reletting of all or any portion thereof, nor the failure of Lessor to collect or receive any rentals due upon any such reletting, shall relieve Lessee of its liabilities and obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive any such termination, repossession or reletting. If any Lease Event of Default shall have

25


 

occurred after the Commencement Date and be continuing and this Lease is terminated pursuant to Section 17.1, Lessee shall forthwith pay to Lessor all Rent and other sums due and payable hereunder to and including without limitation the date of such termination. In the event this Lease is not terminated pursuant hereto, on the days on which the Basic Rent or Supplemental Rent, as applicable, are payable under this Lease or would have been payable under this Lease and until the end of the Term hereof Lessee shall pay Lessor, as current liquidated damages (it being agreed that it would be impossible accurately to determine actual damages) an amount equal to the Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent that are payable under this Lease or would have been payable by Lessee hereunder if this Lease had not been terminated pursuant to Section 17.1, less the net proceeds, if any, which are actually received by Lessor with respect to the period in question of any reletting of the Property or any portion thereof; provided, that Lessee’s obligation to make payments of Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent under this Section 17.4 shall continue only so long as Lessor shall not have received the amounts specified in Section 17.6. In calculating the amount of such net proceeds from reletting, there shall be deducted all of Lessor’s, the Agent’s and any Primary Financing Party’s reasonable expenses in connection therewith, including without limitation repossession costs, brokerage or sales commissions, fees and expenses for counsel and any necessary repair costs and expenses incurred in preparation for such reletting. To the extent Lessor receives any damages pursuant to this Section 17.4, such amounts shall be regarded as amounts paid on account of Rent. Lessee specifically acknowledges and agrees that its obligations under this Section 17.4 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and shall be paid and/or performed, as the case may be, without notice or demand and without any abatement, reduction, diminution, setoff, defense, counterclaim or recoupment whatsoever.

     17.5 Power of Sale.

       (a) Without limiting any other remedies set forth in this Lease, Lessor and Lessee agree that Lessee has granted, pursuant to Section 7.1(b) hereof and the Lease Supplement, a Lien against the Property WITH POWER OF SALE, and that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Lease Event of Default, Lessor shall have the power and authority, to the extent provided by law, after prior notice and lapse of such time as may be required by law, to foreclose its interest (or cause such interest to be foreclosed) in all or any part of the Property.
 
       (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Lease Event of Default, the Lessor, in lieu of or in addition to exercising any power of sale hereinabove given, may proceed by a suit or suits in equity or at law, whether for a foreclosure hereunder, or for the sale of such interest in the Property, against Lessee for the Termination Value or for the appointment of a receiver pending any foreclosure hereunder or the sale of such interest in the Property, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy.

     17.6 Final Liquidated Damages.

     If a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, whether or not this Lease shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 17.1 and whether or not Lessor shall have

26


 

collected any current liquidated damages pursuant to Section 17.4, Lessor shall have the right to recover, by demand to Lessee and at Lessor’s election, and Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as and for final liquidated damages, but exclusive of the indemnities payable under Section 11 of the Participation Agreement (which, if requested, shall be paid concurrently), and in lieu of all current liquidated damages beyond the date of such demand (it being agreed that it would be impossible accurately to determine actual damages) the Termination Value. Upon payment of the amount specified pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 17.6, Lessee shall be entitled to receive from Lessor, either at Lessee’s request or upon Lessor’s election, in either case at Lessee’s cost, Lessor’s entire right, title and interest in and to the Property and all components thereof, free and clear of the Lien of this Lease (including without limitation the release of any memoranda of Lease and/or the Lease Supplement recorded in connection therewith) and any Lessor Liens. The Property shall be conveyed to Lessee “AS-IS, WHERE-IS” and in its then present physical condition. If any statute or rule of law shall limit the amount of such final liquidated damages to less than the amount agreed upon, Lessor shall be entitled to the maximum amount allowable under such statute or rule of law; provided, however, Lessee shall not be entitled to receive an assignment of Lessor’s interest in the Property or any of the components thereof unless Lessee shall have paid in full the Termination Value. Lessee specifically acknowledges and agrees that its obligations under this Section 17.6 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and shall be paid and/or performed, as the case may be, without notice or demand and without any abatement, reduction, diminution, setoff, defense, counterclaim or recoupment whatsoever.

     17.7 Environmental Costs.

     If a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and whether or not this Lease shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 17.1, Lessee shall pay directly to any third party (or at Lessor’s election, reimburse Lessor) for the cost of any environmental testing and/or remediation work undertaken respecting the Property, as such testing or work is deemed appropriate in the reasonable judgment of Lessor, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Lessor and each other Indemnified Person therefrom. Lessee shall pay all amounts referenced in the immediately preceding sentence within five (5) Business Days of any request by Lessor for such payment. The provisions of this Section 17.7 shall not limit the obligations of Lessee under any Operative Agreement regarding indemnification obligations, environmental testing, remediation and/or work.

     17.8 Waiver of Certain Rights.

     If this Lease shall be terminated pursuant to Section 17.1, Lessee waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, (a) any notice of re-entry or the institution of legal proceedings to obtain re-entry or possession; (b) any right of redemption, re-entry or possession; (c) the benefit of any laws now or hereafter in force exempting property from liability for rent or for debt; and (d) any other rights which might otherwise limit or modify any of Lessor’s rights or remedies under this Article XVII.

27


 

     17.9 Assignment of Rights Under Contracts.

          If a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and whether or not this Lease shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 17.1, Lessee shall upon Lessor’s demand (and provided Lessee has not cured such Lease Event of Default pursuant to Section 17.11 or otherwise paid to Lessor an amount equal to the liquidated damages set forth in Section 17.6 within ten (10) days after written demand therefor) immediately assign, transfer and set over to Lessor all of Lessee’s right, title and interest in and to each agreement executed by Lessee in connection with the acquisition, installation, testing, use, development, construction, operation, maintenance, repair, refurbishment and restoration of the Property (including without limitation all right, title and interest of Lessee with respect to all warranty, performance, service and indemnity provisions), as and to the extent that the same relate to the acquisition, installation, testing, use, development, construction, operation, maintenance, repair, refurbishment and restoration of the Property or any of them.

     17.10 Remedies Cumulative.

     The remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and in addition to (and not in limitation of) any other remedies available at law, equity or otherwise, including without limitation any mortgage foreclosure remedies; provided, however, Lessor shall not exercise any rights or remedies, other than the right to terminate this Agreement, to collect current or full liquidated damages pursuant to Section 17.4 and 17.6 above and to transfer and convey the Property to Lessee in accordance with Section 17.6 above, and to seek to enforce the indemnifications under this Agreement and any other Operative Agreement, unless and until Lessee shall have failed to pay to Lessor the liquidated damages set forth in Section 17.6 within ten (10) days after the Agent has delivered to the Lessee a written demand therefor.

     17.11 Lessee’s Right to Cure by Purchase of the Property.

     Notwithstanding anything in this Lease or in any of the other Operative Agreements to the contrary, upon the occurrence and continuance of a Lease Default or Lease Event of Default, Lessee may, but shall not be obligated to, cure any such Lease Default or Lease Event of Default, as the case may be, by purchasing the Property, such purchase to be consummated as provided in Section 19.1 and Section 20.2.

     17.12 Limitation Regarding Certain Lease Events of Default.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any other Operative Agreement to the contrary, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Lease Event of Default attributable solely to a Lease Event of Default under Sections 5.3(x), 5.4(k), 5.4(l), 6.2(h), 6.2(p), 6.2(bb), 6.2(hh), 8.3(i), 8.3(n), 8.3(A)(u)(iv) or 10.1(c) of the Participation Agreement (collectively, a “Limited Recourse Event of Default”), the maximum aggregate amount of Lessee’s obligations attributable solely to a Limited Recourse Event of Default (including without limitation any liability for amounts due pursuant to Section 11.1(e) of the Participation Agreement for enforcement costs or losses arising as a result of such Limited Recourse Event of Default) shall be an amount equal to the Maximum Residual Guarantee Amount for the Property; provided, this

28


 

Section 17.12 shall not in any way limit the liability of Lessee in the event of any other Lease Event of Default (other than a Limited Recourse Event of Default) or any indemnity payment to any Indemnified Person (except as expressly stated above), including without limitation the indemnities set forth in Sections 11.1 through 11.7 of the Participation Agreement and such indemnity payment shall not be included in the calculation set forth above.

     Lessee nonetheless acknowledges and aggress that even though the maximum aggregate recovery from Lessee is limited as aforesaid, neither Lessor’s nor any other Financing Party’s right of recovery from the Property (as opposed to any recovery from Lessee) is so limited and Lessor or any other applicable Financing Party shall be entitled to recover one hundred percent (100%) of the amounts owed to Lessor or such other Financing Party in accordance with the Operative Agreements from its interest in the Property, including without limitation, to the extent not duplicative, one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate Termination Value for the Property.

ARTICLE XVIII

     18.1 Lessor’s Right to Cure Lessee’s Lease Defaults.

     Lessor, without waiving or releasing any obligation or Lease Event of Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) remedy any Lease Event of Default for the account and at the sole cost and expense of Lessee, including without limitation the failure by Lessee to maintain the insurance required by Article XIV, and may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and notwithstanding any right of quiet enjoyment in favor of Lessee, enter upon the Property, and take all such action thereon as may be necessary or appropriate therefor. No such entry shall be deemed an eviction of any lessee. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses so incurred (including without limitation fees and expenses of counsel), together with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate from the date on which such sums or expenses are paid by Lessor, shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor on demand.

ARTICLE XIX

     19.1 Provisions Relating to Lessee’s Exercise of its Purchase Option.

     Subject to Section 19.2, in connection with any termination of this Lease, or in connection with Lessee’s exercise of its Purchase Option, upon the date on which this Lease is to terminate, and upon tender by Lessee of the amounts set forth in Sections 16.2(b) or 20.2, as applicable, Lessor shall execute and deliver to Lessee (or to Lessee’s designee) at Lessee’s cost and expense a ground lease assignment or termination (as requested by Lessee) regarding the Property, in each case in recordable form and otherwise in conformity with local custom and free and clear of the Lien of this Lease, the Liens of the Security Documents and any other Operative Agreements and any Lessor Liens, but without any other warranties (of title or otherwise) from Lessor and such other documents or instruments as may be reasonably requested by Lessee to effect the conveyance or assignment contemplated by this Section 19.1. The Property shall be conveyed to Lessee “AS-IS, “WHERE-IS” and in then present physical condition.

29


 

     19.2 No Purchase or Termination With Respect to Less than All of the Property.

     Except as expressly permitted pursuant to Section 21.1, Lessee shall not be entitled to exercise its Purchase Option or the Sale Option separately with respect to a portion of the Property but shall be required to exercise its Purchase Option or the Sale Option with respect to the entire Property.

ARTICLE XX

     20.1 Purchase Option or Sale Option-General Provisions.

     Unless the term of this Lease has been renewed in accordance with Section 2.2 then not less than one hundred eighty (180) days and no more than two hundred forty (240) days prior to the Expiration Date or, respecting the Purchase Option only, not less than sixty (60) days and no more than two hundred forty (240) days prior to any Payment Date (such Expiration Date or, respecting the Purchase Option only, any such Payment Date being hereinafter referred to as the “Election Date”), Lessee may give Agent (on behalf of Lessor) irrevocable written notice (the “Election Notice”) that Lessee is electing (a) to purchase the Property on the applicable Election Date (the “Purchase Option”) or (b) with respect to an Election Notice given in connection with the Expiration Date only, the option to re-market the Property to a Person other than Lessee or any Affiliate of Lessee and cause a sale of the Property to occur on the applicable Election Date pursuant to the terms of Section 22.1 (the “Sale Option”). If Lessee does not give an Election Notice indicating the Purchase Option or the Sale Option at least one hundred eighty (180) days and not more than two hundred forty (240) days prior to the Expiration Date, then Lessee shall be deemed to have elected for the Purchase Option to apply on the Expiration Date. If Lessee shall either (i) elect (or be deemed to have elected) to exercise the Purchase Option or (ii) elect the Sale Option and fail to cause the Property to be sold in accordance with the terms of Section 22.1 on the applicable Election Date, then in either case Lessee shall pay to Lessor on the date on which such purchase or sale is scheduled to occur an amount equal to the Termination Value for the Property (which the parties do not intend to be a “bargain” purchase price) and, upon receipt of such amounts and satisfaction of such obligations, Lessor shall transfer to Lessee (or to Lessee’s designee) all of Lessor’s right, title and interest in and to the Property in accordance with Section 20.2.

     If the Property is the subject of remediation efforts respecting Hazardous Substances at the applicable Election Date which could materially and adversely impact the Fair Market Sales Value of the Property (with materiality determined in Lessor’s reasonable discretion), then Lessee shall be obligated to purchase the Property pursuant to Section 20.2.

     20.2 Lessee Purchase Option.

     Provided, that the Election Notice has been appropriately given specifying the Purchase Option, Lessee shall purchase the Property on the applicable Election Date at a price equal to the

30


 

Termination Value for the Property (which the parties do not intend to be a “bargain” purchase price).

     Subject to Section 19.2, in connection with any termination of this Lease, or in connection with Lessee’s exercise of its Purchase Option, upon the date on which this Lease is to terminate with respect to the Property and upon tender by Lessee of the amounts set forth in Section 16.2(b) or this Section 20.2, as applicable, Lessor shall execute, acknowledge (where required) and deliver to Lessee, at Lessee’s cost and expense, each of the following: (a) an assignment of the Appurtenant Rights (to the extent assignable) and an assignment or termination of the Ground Lease (as requested by the Lessee) or (to the extent it is real property) to Lessee (or Lessee’s designee) free and clear of the Lien of this Lease, the Liens of the Credit Documents and any other Operative Agreements and any Lessor Liens; (b) a Bill of Sale conveying the Property (to the extent it is personal property) to Lessee (or Lessee’s designee) free and clear of the Lien of this Lease, the Liens of the Credit Documents and any other Operative Agreements and any Lessor Liens; (c) any real estate tax affidavit or other document required by law to be executed and filed in order to record the Deed; and (d) FIRPTA affidavits and such documents or instruments as may be reasonably requested by Lessee to effect the conveyance and release contemplated by this Section 20.2. All of the foregoing documentation must be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent and Lessee. The Property shall be conveyed to Lessee (or Lessee’s designee) “AS-IS, WHERE-IS” and in then present physical condition.

     On the applicable Election Date on which Lessee has elected to exercise its Purchase Option, Lessee shall pay (or cause to be paid) to Lessor or the Agent, as appropriate, the sum of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any such party in connection with the election by Lessee to exercise its Purchase Option and all Rent then due and payable or accrued under this Lease and/or any other Operative Agreement.

     20.3 Third Party Sale Option.

       (a) Provided, that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) the Election Notice has been appropriately given specifying the Sale Option, Lessee shall undertake to cause a sale of the Property on the applicable Election Date (all as specified in the Election Notice), in accordance with the provisions of Section 22.1 hereof. Such Election Date on which a sale is required may be hereafter referred to as the “Sale Date”.
 
       (b) In the event Lessee exercises the Sale Option then, as soon as practicable and in all events not less than sixty (60) days and not more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the Sale Date, Lessee at its expense shall cause to be delivered to Lessor a Phase I environmental site assessment for the Property recently prepared (no more than thirty (30) days old prior to the date of delivery) by an independent recognized professional reasonably acceptable to Lessor and in form, scope and content reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. In the event that Lessor shall not have received such environmental site assessment by the date sixty (60) days prior to the Sale Date or in the event that such environmental assessment shall reveal the existence of any material

31


 

  violation of Environmental Laws, other material Environmental Violation or potential material Environmental Violation (with materiality determined in each case by Lessor in its reasonable discretion), then Lessee on the Sale Date shall pay to Lessor an amount equal to the Termination Value for the Property. Upon receipt of such payment, Lessor shall transfer to Lessee all of Lessor’s right, title and interest in and to the Property in accordance with Section 19.1.

ARTICLE XXI

[RESERVED]

ARTICLE XXII

     22.1 Sale Procedure.

       (a) During the Marketing Period, Lessee, on behalf of Lessor, shall obtain bids for the cash purchase of the Property in connection with a sale to one (1) or more third party purchasers to be consummated on the Sale Date, shall notify Lessor promptly of the name and address of each prospective purchaser and the cash price which each prospective purchaser shall have offered to pay for the Property and shall provide Lessor with such additional information about the bids and the bid solicitation procedure as Lessor may reasonably request from time to time. All such prospective purchasers must be Persons other than Lessee or any Affiliate of Lessee. On the Sale Date, Lessee shall pay (or cause to be paid) to Lessor or the Agent, as appropriate, the sum of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lessor and/or the Agent (as the case may be) in connection with such sale of the Property, all Rent then due and payable or accrued under this Lease and/or any other Operative Agreement.
 
       Lessor may reject any and all bids and may solicit and obtain bids by giving Lessee written notice to that effect; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor may not reject any bid submitted by Lessee if such bid is greater than or equal to the Limited Recourse Amount for the Property, and represents a bona fide offer from one (1) or more third party purchasers. If the highest price which a prospective purchaser or the prospective purchasers shall have offered to pay for the Property on the Sale Date is less than the Limited Recourse Amount for the Property or if such bid does not represent a bona fide offer from one (1) or more third parties or if there are no bids, Lessee may withdraw its exercise of the Sale Option and exercise Lessee’s Purchase Option by purchasing the Property on such Sale Date in accordance with Section 20.2, failing which Lessor may elect to retain the Property, subject to Section 22.6, by giving Lessee prior written notice of Lessor’s election to retain the same, and promptly upon receipt of such notice, Lessee shall surrender, or cause to be surrendered, the Property in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 10.1. Upon acceptance of any bid, Lessor agrees, at Lessee’s request and expense, to execute a

32


 

  contract of sale with respect to such sale, so long as the same is consistent with the terms of this Article 22 and provides by its terms that it is nonrecourse to Lessor.
 
       Unless Lessor shall have elected to retain the Property pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph, Lessee shall arrange for Lessor to sell the Property free and clear of the Lien of this Lease, the Liens of the Security Documents and any other Operative Agreements and any Lessor Liens, without recourse or warranty (of title or otherwise), for cash on the Sale Date to the purchaser or purchasers offering the highest cash sales price, as identified by Lessee or Lessor, as the case may be; provided, however, solely as to Lessor, any Lessor Lien shall not constitute a Lessor Lien so long as Lessor is diligently and in good faith contesting, at the cost and expense of Lessor such Lessor Lien by appropriate proceedings in which event (with the consent of the Lessee, but without penalty or cost to Lessee) the Sale Date shall be delayed for the period of such contest. To effect such transfer and assignment, Lessor shall execute, acknowledge (where required) and deliver to the appropriate purchaser each of the following: (a) an assignment of the Appurtenant Rights (to the extent assignable) and an assignment or termination of the Ground Lease (as requested by Lessee) (to the extent it is real property) to the appropriate purchaser free and clear of the Lien of this Lease, the Liens of the Credit Documents and the other Operative Agreements and any Lessor Liens; (b) a Bill of Sale conveying the Property (to the extent it is personal property) titled to Lessor to the appropriate purchaser free and clear of the Lien of this Lease, the Liens of the Credit Documents and the other Operative Agreements and any Lessor Liens; (c) any real estate tax affidavit or other document required by law to be executed and filed in order to record the assignment of the Appurtenant Rights or the assignment or termination of the Ground Lease; and (d) FIRPTA affidavits and such other documents or instruments required for the issuance of an owner’s policy of title insurance subject only to the Liens encumbering the Property on the Commencement Date and those consented to by Lessee, or otherwise to effect the conveyance and release contemplated herein, as appropriate. All of the foregoing documentation must be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and the Agent. Lessee shall surrender the Property so sold or subject to such documents to each purchaser in the condition specified in Section 10.1, or in such other condition as may be agreed between Lessee and such purchaser. Neither Lessor nor Lessee shall take or fail to take any action which would have the effect of unreasonably discouraging bona fide third party bids for the Property. If the Property is neither (i) sold on the Sale Date in accordance with the terms of this Section 22.1, nor (ii) retained by Lessor pursuant to an affirmative election made by Lessor pursuant to the second sentence of the second paragraph of this Section 22.1(a), then (x) Lessee shall be deemed to have elected the Purchase Option and shall be obligated to pay Lessor on the Sale Date an amount equal to the aggregate Termination Value for the Property less any sales proceeds received, and (y) Lessor shall transfer the Property to Lessee in accordance with Section 20.2.
 
       (b) If the Property is sold on the Sale Date to a third party purchaser in accordance with the terms of Section 22.1(a) and the purchase price paid for the Property is less than the Termination Value (hereinafter such difference shall be referred to as the “Deficiency Balance”), then Lessee hereby unconditionally promises to pay to Lessor on

33


 

  the Sale Date the lesser of (i) the Deficiency Balance, or (ii) the Maximum Residual Guarantee Amount for the Property. On a Sale Date if Lessor receives the Termination Value for the Property, then Lessee may retain the excess of the net sale proceeds of the Property over the Termination Value. If the Property is retained by Lessor pursuant to an affirmative election made by Lessor pursuant to the provisions of Section 22.1(a) or if Section 22.6 applies, then Lessee hereby unconditionally promises to pay to Lessor on the Sale Date an amount equal to the Maximum Residual Guarantee Amount for the Property. Any payment of the foregoing amounts described in this Section 22.1(b) shall be made together with a payment of all amounts referenced in the last sentence of the first paragraph of Section 22.1(a).
 
       (c) In the event that the Property is either sold to one (1) or more third party purchasers on the Sale Date or retained by Lessor in connection with an affirmative election made by Lessor pursuant to the provisions of Section 22.1(a), then in either case on the Sale Date Lessee shall provide Lessor or such third party purchaser (unless otherwise agreed by such third party purchaser) with (i) all permits, certificates of occupancy, governmental licenses and authorizations necessary to use, operate, repair, access and maintain the Property for the purpose it is being used by Lessee, and (ii) such manuals, permits, easements, licenses, intellectual property, know-how, rights-of-way and other rights and privileges in the nature of an easement as are reasonably necessary or desirable in connection with the use, operation, repair, access to or maintenance of the Property for its intended purpose or otherwise as Lessor or such third party purchaser(s) shall reasonably request (and a royalty-free license or similar agreement to effectuate the foregoing on terms reasonably agreeable to Lessor or such third party purchaser(s), as applicable). All assignments, licenses, easements, agreements and other deliveries required by clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph (c) shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to Lessor or such third party purchaser(s), as applicable, and shall be fully assignable (including without limitation both primary assignments and assignments given in the nature of security) without payment of any fee, cost or other charge.

     22.2 Application of Proceeds of Sale.

     Lessor shall apply the proceeds of sale of the Property to a third party pursuant to the Sale Option in accordance with the intercreditor provisions among Lessor, the Primary Financing Parties and the Agent contained in the Operative Agreements, including without limitation Section 8.7 of the Participation Agreement.

     22.3 Indemnity for Excessive Wear.

     If the proceeds of the sale described in Section 22.1 with respect to the Property shall be less than the Limited Recourse Amount with respect to the Property, and at the time of such sale it shall have been reasonably determined (pursuant to the Appraisal Procedure) that the Fair Market Sales Value of the Property shall have been impaired by greater than expected wear and tear during the term of the Lease, Lessee shall pay to Lessor within ten (10) days after receipt of Lessor’s written statement (i) the amount of such excess wear and tear determined by the Appraisal Procedure or (ii) the amount of the Sale Proceeds Shortfall, whichever amount is less.

34


 

     22.4 Appraisal Procedure.

     For determining the Fair Market Sales Value of the Property or any other amount which may, pursuant to any provision of any Operative Agreement, be determined by an appraisal procedure, Lessor and Lessee shall use the following procedure (the “Appraisal Procedure”). Lessor and Lessee shall endeavor to reach a mutual agreement as to such amount for a period of ten (10) days from commencement of the Appraisal Procedure under the applicable Section of the Lease, and if they cannot agree within ten (10) days, then two (2) qualified appraisers, one (1) chosen by Lessee and one (1) chosen by Lessor, shall mutually agree thereupon, but if either party shall fail to choose an appraiser within twenty (20) days after notice from the other party of the selection of its appraiser, then the appraisal by such appointed appraiser shall be binding on Lessee and Lessor. If the two (2) appraisers cannot agree within twenty (20) days after both shall have been appointed, then a third appraiser shall be selected by the two (2) appraisers or, failing agreement as to such third appraiser within thirty (30) days after both shall have been appointed, by the American Arbitration Association. The decisions of the three (3) appraisers shall be given within twenty (20) days of the appointment of the third appraiser and the decision of the appraiser most different from the average of the other two (2) shall be discarded and such average shall be binding on Lessor and Lessee; provided, that if the highest appraisal and the lowest appraisal are equidistant from the third appraisal, the third appraisal shall be binding on Lessor and Lessee. The fees and expenses of the appraiser appointed by Lessee shall be paid by Lessee; the fees and expenses of the appraiser appointed by Lessor shall be paid by Lessor and the Investors, ratably, based on their relative percentages of the aggregate Commitments (such fees and expenses not being indemnified pursuant to Section 11 of the Participation Agreement); and the fees and expenses of the third appraiser shall be divided equally between (x) Lessee and (y) Lessor and the Investors, ratably, based on their relative percentage of the aggregate Commitments.

     22.5 Certain Obligations Continue.

     During the Marketing Period, the obligation of Lessee to pay Rent with respect to the Property (including without limitation the installment of Basic Rent due on the Sale Date) shall continue undiminished until payment in full to Lessor of the Maximum Residual Guarantee Amount or the Deficiency Balance (as applicable), the sale proceeds, if any, for the Property in accordance with this Lease, the amount due under Section 22.3, if any, and all other amounts due to Lessor or any other Person with respect to the Property or any Operative Agreement. Lessor shall have the right, but shall be under no duty, to solicit bids, to inquire into the efforts of Lessee to obtain bids or otherwise to take action in connection with any such sale, other than as expressly provided in this Article XXII.

     22.6 Post-Expiration Sales.

     If Lessee shall have exercised the Sale Option and prior to the Expiration Date, Lessee shall have either (i) failed to submit a bid for the purchase of the Property, or (ii) if any of the bids submitted by Lessee to Lessor for the purchase of the Property has not been accepted by Lessor pursuant to Section 22.1, and provided no Lease Event of Default has occurred and is

35


 

continuing (including as a result of Lessee’s failure to comply with any of the requirements at Articles XX and XXII), then all bids submitted by Lessee to Lessor for the purchase of the Property shall be deemed rejected, and the Lessee shall deliver possession of the Property to Lessor on the Expiration Date and in the condition required by Section 22.1, and Lessee shall pay to Lessor on the Expiration Date a Supplemental Rent payment equal to the Maximum Residual Guarantee Amount plus all accrued Basic Rent and any Supplemental Rent due and payable. Thereafter (except for obligations of indemnity including without limitation under Section 11 of the Participation Agreement and for other obligations of Lessee under the Operative Agreements which are expressed to survive), Lessee shall have no further obligation to pay Rent or the remaining unpaid Property Cost with respect to the Property, and, except with respect to the Property, Lessor shall request the Agent to release the Liens of the Security Documents regarding the Liquid Collateral. Nothing in this Section 22.6 shall adversely affect any other rights of Lessor to terminate this Lease or to pursue any remedy hereunder as a result of a Lease Event of Default arising as a result of Lessee’s failure to comply with the requirements set forth herein. Following the delivery of the Property to Lessor pursuant to this Section 22.6, Lessor shall be free to sell or lease the Property to any party for such amounts, as Lessor determines in its sole discretion in order to maximize Lessor’s opportunity to recover the portion of the Post-Expiration Balance for the Property. Proceeds from any such sale of the Property shall be applied as provided in Section 8.7(b)(vii) of the Participation Agreement. If Lessor fails to sell the Property prior to the two year anniversary of the Expiration Date, Lessor shall obtain an appraisal from an independent appraiser selected by Lessor which shall establish the Fair Market Sales Value of the Property (as “dark”) as of the end of such two year period and Lessor shall pay to Lessee the lesser of (x) the Maximum Residual Guarantee Amount paid by Lessee with respect to the Property and (y) the difference, if any, between the Fair Market Sales Value of the Property and the Post-Expiration Date Balance (as of the two year anniversary of the Expiration Date). Lessor shall be entitled to reimbursement of such amount paid to Lessee from the proceeds of any sale of the Property applied in accordance with Section 8.7(b)(vii) of the Participation Agreement. To the greatest extent permitted by law, Lessee hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives and releases Lessor from any right to require Lessor following the Expiration Date to sell the Property for any minimum purchase price or on any particular terms or conditions.

ARTICLE XXIII

     23.1 Holding Over.

     If Lessee shall for any reason remain in possession of the Property after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease (unless the Property is conveyed to Lessee), such possession shall be as a tenancy at sufferance during which time Lessee shall continue to pay Supplemental Rent that would be payable by Lessee hereunder were the Lease then in full force and effect with respect to the Property and Lessee shall continue to pay Basic Rent at the lesser of the highest lawful rate and one hundred ten percent (110%) of the last payment of Basic Rent due with respect to the Property prior to such expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Such Basic Rent shall be payable from time to time upon demand by Lessor and such additional amount of Basic Rent shall be applied by Lessor ratably to the Primary Financing Parties based on their

36


 

relative amounts of the then outstanding Property Cost. During any period of tenancy at sufferance, Lessee shall, subject to the second preceding sentence, be obligated to perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, but shall have no rights hereunder other than the right, to the extent given by law to tenants at sufferance, to continue their occupancy and use of the Property. Nothing contained in this Article XXIII shall constitute the consent, express or implied, of Lessor to the holding over of Lessee after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease (unless the Property is conveyed to Lessee) and nothing contained herein shall be read or construed as preventing Lessor from maintaining a suit for possession of the Property or exercising any other remedy available to Lessor at law or in equity.

ARTICLE XXIV

     24.1 Risk of Loss.

     During the Term, unless Lessee shall not be in actual possession of the Property solely by reason of Lessor’s exercise of its remedies of dispossession under Article XVII, the risk of loss or decrease in the enjoyment and beneficial use of the Property as a result of the damage or destruction thereof by fire, the elements, casualties, thefts, riots, wars or otherwise is assumed by Lessee and Lessor shall in no event be answerable or accountable therefor.

ARTICLE XXV

     25.1 Assignment.

       (a) Lessee may not assign this Lease or any of its rights or obligations hereunder or with respect to the Property in whole or in part to any Person without the prior written consent of each of the Agent, the Credit Lenders, the Mortgage Lenders and the Lessor.
 
       (b) No assignment by Lessee (referenced in this Section 25.1 or otherwise) or other relinquishment of possession to the Property shall in any way discharge or diminish any of the obligations of Lessee to Lessor hereunder and Lessee shall remain directly and primarily liable under the Operative Agreements as to any rights or obligations assigned by Lessee.

     25.2 Subleases.

       (a) Promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days, following the execution and delivery of any sublease permitted by this Article XXV, Lessee shall notify Lessor and the Agent of the execution of such sublease and shall provide a copy of such sublease to Lessor and the Agent. As of the Commencement Date, any then existing tenant respecting the Property shall automatically be deemed to be a subtenant of Lessee and not a tenant of Lessor.

37


 

       (b) Without the prior written consent of the Agent or any Primary Financing Party and subject to the other provisions of this Section 25.2, Lessee may sublet the Property or any portion thereof to any wholly-owned Subsidiary of Lessee. Subleases to wholly-owned Subsidiaries of Lessee are not required to be on market terms or at market rents. Lessee may sublet up to twenty percent (20%) of the Property to Persons other than wholly-owned Subsidiaries of Lessee. Such subleases to Persons other than wholly-owned Subsidiaries of Lessee may be at less than market rents but, in any event, shall otherwise be on market terms. No sublease shall in any way diminish the fair market value or useful life of the Property. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 25.2(b), no other subleasing with respect to the Property or any portion thereof shall be permitted without the written consent of the Lessor and the Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, denied or conditioned.

       (c) No sublease (referenced in this Section 25.2 or otherwise) or other relinquishment of possession to the Property shall in any way discharge or diminish any of Lessee’s obligations to Lessor hereunder and Lessee shall remain directly and primarily liable under this Lease as to the Property, or portion thereof, so sublet. The term of any such sublease shall not extend beyond the Term. Each sublease shall be expressly subject and subordinate to this Lease.

ARTICLE XXVI

     Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Lessor hereby irrevocably designates and appoints, except as expressly provided herein or in the other Operative Agreements, the Construction Agent as its exclusive agent and the Construction Agent accepts such appointment, in connection with the identification and acquisition of the Property (provided, the interest of the Lessor in certain of the real estate comprising a part of the Property shall be a ground leasehold interest pursuant to the Ground Lease) and the development, acquisition, installation, construction and testing of the Improvements, the Equipment and the other components of the Property on the Land in accordance with the Construction Documents, and pursuant to the terms of the Operative Agreements. Notwithstanding any provisions hereof or in any other Operative Agreement to the contrary, but subject to the conditions precedent and other terms and conditions in the Operative Agreements applicable to Advances and Commitments, the Construction Agent acknowledges and agrees that the Lessor shall advance to the Construction Agent no more than the aggregate Commitments which shall be reduced by previous Advances and requested Advances, which are pending, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Operative Agreements.

2

     2.2 Acceptance and Undertaking.

     The Construction Agent hereby unconditionally accepts the agency appointment, acknowledges that the Lessor, concurrent with the effectiveness of this Agreement, has acquired a ground leasehold interest in certain of the real estate comprising a part of the Property pursuant to the Ground Lease and various Appurtenant Rights (which Property, Ground Lease and Appurtenant Rights are acceptable in all respect to the Construction Agent) and undertakes, for the benefit of the Lessor, to develop, acquire, install, construct and test the Improvements, the Equipment and the other components of the Property in accordance with the Construction Documents and the Operative Agreements including obtaining all necessary entitlements and permits (including all environmental and occupancy permits, maintaining books and records relating to the Property and other functions typically undertaken in developing the Property).

     2.3 Term.

     This Agreement and the agency created by this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and except with respect to any (i) Construction Period Required Amounts, (ii) Defaults or Events of Default which have occurred and are continuing including any remedies related thereto or (iii) other matters as otherwise expressly stated herein or unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms and conditions herein, shall terminate on the Construction Period Termination Date.

     2.4 Scope of Authority.

       (a) Subject to the terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations set forth in the Operative Agreements, the Lessor hereby expressly authorizes the Construction Agent, or any Construction Agency Person acting on behalf of the Construction Agent, and the Construction Agent unconditionally agrees for the benefit of the Lessor, subject to Section 2.4(b), to take all action necessary or desirable for the performance and satisfaction of any and all of the Lessor’s obligations under any construction agreement and to fulfill all of the obligations of the Construction Agent including without limitation:

       (i) the identification and assistance with the acquisition in the name of the Lessor of the Property in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Participation Agreement;

3


 

       (ii) all design and supervisory functions relating to the development, acquisition, installation, construction and testing of the related Improvements, Equipment and other components of the Property and performing all engineering work related thereto;

       (iii) (A) negotiating, entering into, performing and enforcing all contracts and arrangements to acquire or ground lease the Property and to procure the equipment necessary to construct the Property and (B) negotiating, executing, performing and enforcing all contracts and arrangements to develop, acquire, install, construct, repair, renovate, replace and test the Improvements, the Equipment and the other components of the Property on such terms and conditions as are customary and reasonable in light of local and national standards and practices and the businesses in which the Construction Agent is engaged;

       (iv) obtaining all necessary permits, licenses, consents, approvals, entitlements and other authorizations, including without limitation all of the foregoing required for the Property and the use and occupancy thereof and those required under applicable Law (including without limitation Environmental Laws), from all Governmental Authorities in connection with the development, acquisition, installation, construction and testing of the Improvements, the Equipment and the other components of the Property in accordance with the Construction Documents;

       (v) maintaining all books and records with respect to the Property and the construction, operation and management thereof;

       (vi) performing any other acts necessary in connection with the identification and acquisition or ground leasing of the Property and the development, acquisition, installation, construction, repair, renovation, replacement and testing of the related Improvements, Equipment and all other additional components of the Property in accordance with the Construction Documents;

       (vii) performing or causing the performance of any other acts necessary or desirable (as reasonably determined by the Construction Agent) in connection with the construction and development of the Improvements in accordance with all applicable Laws and all Insurance Requirements unless the failure to comply is not reasonably likely to give rise to a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the Construction Agent’s right to engage in permitted contests in accordance with Section 3.10;

       (viii) paying when due or causing to be paid when due (subject to reimbursement as provided for under this Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions, if any in the case of such reimbursement, relating to Construction Advances as set forth in the Participation Agreement) pursuant to and subject to the Construction Budget, and the Operative Agreements, all Property Costs

4


 

  (including costs associated with the Construction Agent’s actions as provided in Section 2.4(a)(x), pursuant to and subject to the Construction Budget, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the Construction Agent’s right to engage in permitted contests in accordance with Section 3.10; provided, further, that the Construction Agent shall pay directly any Property Costs either (x) during the continuance of an Agency Agreement Event of Default or (y) while it is unable to satisfy all of the conditions for a Construction Advance set forth in Section 5.4 of the Participation Agreement (it being understood, however, that the Construction Agent may be reimbursed for Property Costs paid by it prior to the occurrence of the events described in clauses (x) and (y) to the extent permitted under Section 5.17 of the Participation Agreement). The Construction Agent acknowledges that any liability resulting to any Primary Financing Party or any other Indemnified Person as a result of or arising from any such negotiation, permitted contest, or act or omission of the Construction Agent or its designees with respect to such permitted contest will be a Claim subject to indemnification under Section 11 of the Participation Agreement;

       (ix) enforcing or causing the enforcement in all material respects of performance by each party to each Construction Document of its respective obligations, warranties and other design, construction and other obligations with respect to the design, engineering, construction and completion of the Improvements on the Land or pursuing remedies with respect to the breach of those obligations, in each case, as deemed appropriate by the Construction Agent in its discretion; and

       (x) using the proceeds of any insurance maintained with respect to the Improvements to complete construction of or rebuild any portion of such Improvements with respect to a Casualty or Condemnation and to fund all Interest accrued on the Loans and Lessor Yield accrued on the Lessor Advances during the Construction Period or rebuild, provided that the foregoing shall not affect the Construction Agent’s right to purchase the Property in accordance with Article XX of the Lease which shall be applicable during the Construction Period and is hereby incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis.

       (b) Neither the Construction Agent nor any Construction Agency Person shall enter into any contract or consent to any contract in the name of the Lessor without the Lessor’s prior written consent, such consent to be given or withheld in the exercise of the Lessor’s reasonable discretion (acting at the direction of the Agent); provided, however, that (i) no such contract will increase the obligations of the Lessor beyond the obligations of the Lessor as are expressly set forth in the Operative Agreements and (ii) each such contract shall be expressly non-recourse to the Lessor on terms and conditions that are reasonably acceptable to the Lessor, (iii) each such contract shall expressly acknowledge that the Lessor shall not have any liability, as principal for the acts of the Construction Agent under such contracts or for the acts of any other Construction Agency Person, (iv) each such contract shall contain an express waiver of the other party’s rights to assert any Lien or Claim against the Lessor arising out of any such purported agency relationship,

5


 

  and (v) each such contract shall otherwise be on terms and conditions that are reasonably acceptable to the Lessor. It is deemed to be reasonable for the Lessor to withhold its consent to any contract which fails to comply, in the Lessor’s judgement, with any of clauses (i) through (v) of this subparagraph (b).

       (c) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements, the Construction Agent shall have sole management and control over the installation, construction and testing means, methods, sequences and procedures with respect to the Property.

       (d) As between the Lessor and the Construction Agent, the Construction Agent shall be responsible for all acts or omissions of each Construction Agency Person.

     2.5 Delegation of Duties.

     The Construction Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement by or through any Construction Agency Person; provided, however, that no such delegation shall limit or reduce in any way the Construction Agent’s duties, obligations or liabilities under this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement.

     2.6 Covenants of the Construction Agent.

     The Construction Agent hereby covenants and agrees that it will:

       (a) cause the design, procurement, development, acquisition, installation, construction, repair, renovation, replacement and testing of the Property to be prosecuted in a good and workmanlike manner (subject to Force Majeure Events), and respecting the Property in accordance with the Construction Documents, the Legal Requirements (including without limitation Environmental Laws), the Insurance Requirements, the applicable contracts relating to the Improvements, the Equipment, other components of the Property and procurement of construction materials, the manufacturer’s specifications and standards, prevalent industry practices and otherwise in accordance with Section 3.1 unless the failure to comply with the foregoing is not reasonably likely to give rise to a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, the foregoing shall not limit the Construction Agent’s right to engage in permitted contests in accordance with Section 3.10;

       (b) [Reserved];

       (c) notify the Agent in writing not more than ten (10) Business Days after the Construction Agent or any Affiliate of the Construction Agent obtains Actual Knowledge of, or its receipt of oral or written notification of, the occurrence of any Force Majeure Event or an event under any Construction Document if such event is, in the reasonable

6


 

  judgment of the Construction Agent or such Affiliate of the Construction Agent, reasonably likely to prevent Completion of the Property prior to the Construction Period Termination Date or result in a Force Majeure Event;

       (e) at all times during the Construction Period (i) cause the Lessor to retain at all times during the term of this Agreement an enforceable ground leasehold interest in the Property pursuant to the Ground Lease, an enforceable interest in the Appurtenant Rights and ownership of the portions of the Property not subject to the Ground Lease or the Appurtenant Rights, (ii) cause a valid, perfected, first priority Lien on the Property and the Collateral to be in place in favor of the Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties and securing the obligations owed to such party pursuant to the Operative Agreements), (iii) file all necessary documents under the applicable real property law and Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code to perfect such title and Liens and (iv) not permit Liens (other than Permitted Liens or Lessor Liens) to be filed or maintained respecting the Property or the Collateral;

       (f) on or prior to the Closing Date, deliver to the Agent (for the benefit of the Lessor) true, complete and correct copies of the Construction Budget and the Construction Schedule therefor, together with evidence of builders’ risk insurance. Thereafter, the Construction Agent, on a monthly basis, shall deliver to the Lessor true, correct and complete copies of any material modifications of the Construction Budget or the Construction Schedule and progress reports regarding the development, acquisition, installation, construction and testing of the Property, in a format acceptable to the Lessor;

       (g) to the fullest extent commercially available, procure insurance for the Property during the Construction Period in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.5 and, as the Lessor shall otherwise reasonably request from time to time, for such risks, which the Lessor determines are not otherwise sufficiently covered by the Construction Agent;

       (h) include in the Construction Budget and maintain Available Commitments in amounts equal to or greater than the cost for Completion plus all deductible amounts, if any, regarding insurance policies related to the Property in place from time to time pursuant to the Operative Agreements and also for the amount of all insurable losses regarding the Property that are not insured;

     3.1 Construction.

     The Construction Agent shall cause the Improvements, the Equipment and all other components of the Property to be developed, acquired, installed, constructed and tested in compliance with all Legal Requirements, all Insurance Requirements, all manufacturer’s specifications and standards and the standards maintained by the Construction Agent for similar properties owned or operated by the Construction Agent, and all specifications and standards applicable to properties of the Construction Agent which are similar to the Permitted Facilities.

     3.2 Amendments; Modifications.

       (a) The Construction Agent may at any time revise, amend or modify (i) the Plans and Specifications without the consent of the Lessor; provided, that any such amendment to the Plans and Specifications does not (A) result in the Completion Date of the Improvements occurring on or after the Construction Period Termination Date, or (B) result in the cost of all Improvements exceeding the Budgeted Total Property Cost, as amended from time to time, or (C) result in the cost yet to be funded or reimbursed of all Improvements exceeding an amount equal to the then Available Commitments, and (ii) the Construction Budget and enter into any related amendments, modifications or supplements without the consent of the Lessor; provided, that such revisions, amendments or modifications to the Plans and Specifications or related amendments, modifications or supplements to the Construction Budget do not result in (A) any increase in the Budgeted Total Property Cost, for any single Property or in the aggregate, greater than the amount specified in the Construction Budget, as amended from time to time, or the then Available Commitments (reduced by the Unfunded Amount), or (B) any breach or default under any relevant construction contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is specifically understood and agreed that if at any time the total Property Costs remaining to be expended or reimbursed exceed the then Available Commitments (reduced by the Unfunded Amount), an Agency Agreement Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred and the Construction Agent shall have the right to purchase set forth in Section 5.3(c), in which case the limitations on recourse set forth in Section 5.4 shall not apply.

       (b) The Construction Agent agrees that it will not implement any revision, amendment or modification to the Construction Documents for the Property if the effect of such revision, amendment or modification, when taken together with any previous or contemporaneous revision, amendment or modification to the Construction Documents for the Property, would have an adverse effect on the utility, useful life or the residual value of the Property or would cause a material reduction in the fair market value of the Property in excess of the cost reduction (if any) of such revision, amendment or

10


 

  modification of the Property when completed, unless such revision, amendment or modification is required by Legal Requirements.

       (c) Upon the occurrence of any Construction Failure or Extra Budget Cost, the Lessor may (i) modify the Construction Documents for the Property in the sole discretion of the Lessor, (ii) inform the Construction Agent that such Construction Agent no longer has the right to modify any Construction Documents without the prior written consent of the Lessor, (iii) reorient or change the location of any of the Improvements, (iv) change the scope of the Property, (v) inform the Construction Agent to stop in part or in whole Work and all other activities as Construction Agent or (vi) replace the Construction Agent with another construction agent to finalize Completion of the Property. The costs and expenses incurred to finalize the Completion of the Property as referenced in the preceding sentence shall be paid, at the election of the Lessor, (x) by the Construction Agent on demand; provided, payment by the Construction Agent of such costs and expenses shall be part of (and limited by) the Maximum Amount for the Property or (y) by Advances to the extent the Lenders and the Lessor agree to fund the same.

     3.3 Insufficient Lender Commitments and Lessor Commitments.

     In the event the aggregate Available Commitments are insufficient or are determined by the Lessor, in its reasonable judgment, to be insufficient for Completion of the Property, then the Lessor may, in its sole discretion, elect to:

       (a) fund cost overruns (including in all cases all Excluded Costs) with Commitments, provided such Commitments have been increased in accordance with the Operative Agreements at then available financing rates to sufficiently fund such cost overruns and the Budgeted Total Property Cost with respect to the Property;

       (b) replace the Construction Agent with a new construction agent selected by the Lessor; or

       (c) cease funding any or all amounts pursuant to the Operative Agreements.

     3.4 Grant of Security Interest.

     The Construction Agent hereby conveys, grants, assigns, transfers, hypothecates, mortgages and sets over to the Lessor, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a first priority security interest in and lien on all right, title and interest of the Construction Agent (now owned or hereafter acquired) in and to the Property, each of the Construction Documents, Casualty and Condemnation proceeds, proceeds from any insurance required by the Insurance Requirements and the proceeds of each of the foregoing to the extent such is personal property, whether tangible or intangible, and irrevocably grants and conveys a lien, deed of trust and mortgage on all right, title and interest of the Construction Agent (now owned or hereafter acquired) in and to the Property to the extent such is real property.

       (f) Promptly upon the Construction Agent’s Actual Knowledge of the presence of Hazardous Substances in any portion of the Property in concentrations and conditions that constitute an Environmental Violation and which, in the reasonable opinion of the Construction Agent, the cost to undertake any legally required response, clean up, remedial or other action will or might result in a cost to the Construction Agent of more than $100,000, the Construction Agent shall notify the Lessor in writing of such

20


 

  condition. In the event of any Environmental Violation (regardless of whether notice thereof must be given), the Construction Agent shall, not later than thirty (30) days after the Construction Agent has Actual Knowledge of such Environmental Violation, at the Construction Agent’s sole cost and expense, promptly and diligently undertake and diligently complete any response, clean up, remedial or other action (including without limitation the pursuit by the Construction Agent of appropriate action against any off-site or third party source for contamination) necessary to remove, cleanup or remediate the Environmental Violation in accordance with all Environmental Laws. Any such response, clean up, remedial or other action shall be timely completed in accordance with prudent industry standards and, upon completion of any such response, clean up, remedial or other action, the Construction Agent shall cause to be prepared by a reputable environmental consultant acceptable to the Lessor a report describing the Environmental Violation and the actions taken by the Construction Agent (or its agents) in response to such Environmental Violation, and a statement by the consultant that the Environmental Violation has been remedied in full compliance with applicable Environmental Law.

In addition, the Construction Agent shall provide to the Lessor, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt, copies of all material written communications with any Governmental Authority relating to any Environmental Law in connection with the Property. The Construction Agent shall also promptly provide such detailed reports of any such material environmental claims as may reasonably be requested by the Lessor and the Lessor.

     3.7 Abandonment or Permanent Discontinuance.

     Until termination of the Agency Agreement, the Construction Agent shall promptly and diligently complete the development, acquisition, refinancing, installation, construction and testing of the Property in accordance with the Construction Documents and with the terms hereof and cause the date of Completion with respect to the Property to occur on or prior to the Construction Period Termination Date.

     If the Construction Agent shall abandon or permanently discontinue the construction and development of the Property (which abandonment or permanent discontinuance shall be deemed to have occurred if no work at the Property site is undertaken or completed during a period of thirty (30) days or more for reasons other than a Force Majeure Event), then the Construction Agent shall pay to the Lessor, on a date designated by the Lessor, an aggregate amount equal to the liquidated damages amount referenced in Section 5.3(b) regarding the Property. On such date, the Lessor shall convey the Property to the Construction Agent in accordance with Section 20.2 of the Lease; provided, however, in the event the Lessor replaced the Construction Agent, the Lessor may not cite abandonment or discontinuance, which occurs after such replacement of the Construction Agent.

23


 

Financing Party an Officer’s Certificate certifying as to the matters set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 3.10. The Lessor shall execute and deliver to the Construction Agent such authorizations and other documents as may reasonably be required in connection with any such contest and, if reasonably requested by the Construction Agent, shall join as a party therein.

     3.11 Impositions and Other Matters.

     Except with respect to Impositions and such other matters referenced in Section 3.10 which are the subject of ongoing proceedings contesting the same in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 3.10, the Construction Agent shall cause all Impositions and such other matters to be timely complied with, paid through Advances, settled or compromised, as appropriate, with respect to the Property.

       (e) Without limiting any other remedies set forth in this Agreement, the Lessor and the Construction Agent agree that the Construction Agent has granted, pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof, a Lien against the Property WITH POWER OF SALE, and that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Agency Agreement Event of Default, the Lessor shall have the power and authority, to the extent provided by law, after prior notice and lapse of such time as may be required by law, to foreclose its interest (or cause such interest to be foreclosed) in all or any part of the Property.

The Construction Agent shall pay all amounts referenced in the immediately preceding sentence within ten (10) days of any request by the Lessor for such payment. The provisions of this Section 5.3(f) shall not limit the obligations of the Construction Agent under any Operative Agreement regarding indemnification obligations, environmental testing, remediation and/or work.
 
       (g) If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 5.1, the Construction Agent waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, (i) any notice of re-entry or the institution of legal proceedings to obtain re-entry or possession; (ii) any right of redemption, re-entry or possession; (iii) the benefit of any laws now or hereafter in force exempting property from liability for rent or for debt; and (iv) any other rights,

       (i) No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Lessor, any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement or under the other Operative Agreements shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

     Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any other Operative Agreement to the contrary, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Agency Agreement Event of Default relating solely to the Property (other than as a result of (a) a Full Recourse Event of Default or (b) any indemnity claim pursuant to the Operative Agreements including without limitation pursuant to Sections 10.1(c) and 11.1 through 11.7 of the Participation Agreement, in either such case pursuant to the foregoing subsections (a) or (b), the limitations contained in this Section 5.4 shall not apply), the maximum aggregate amount (the “Maximum Amount”) that the Lessor, or any person or entity acting by or through the Lessor, including without limitation the Agent and the other Financing Parties, shall be entitled to recover from the Construction Agent on account of such Agency Agreement Event of Default shall be an amount equal to the sum of (i) 89.9% of the aggregate GAAP Eligible Cost, exclusive of the portion of the aggregate GAAP Eligible Cost expended for the purchase of the Land related to the Property (the “Land Cost”) plus (ii) 100% of the Land Cost, plus (iii) all amounts owed by the Construction Agent under or with respect to any Operative Agreement in connection with any potential Environmental Violation related to the Property.

     5.5 Determination of Whether Budget is “In Balance”.

       (a) If the Agent determines that the Construction Budget may not be In Balance, the Agent shall give notice to such effect to the Construction Agent, together with a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis for the Agent’s determination and to the extent available calculations upon which the Agent has based its determination. Within ten (10) days following the Construction Agent’s receipt of such notice, the Construction Agent shall deliver a certification to the Agent that either (i) the Construction Budget is not In Balance and describing the steps the Construction Agent is taking to remedy such condition, if any, or (ii) the Construction Budget is In Balance and stating sufficient detail to describe why the Construction Agent believes the Construction Budget is In Balance.

       (b) If after receipt by the Agent of a certification from the Construction Agent pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(ii) above that the Construction Budget is In Balance, the Agent still disagrees with such certification, the Construction Agent and the Agent shall, for a period of thirty (30) days following the Agent’s receipt of such certification, consult with each other and use their reasonable efforts to resolve such dispute as to whether the Construction Budget is In Balance.

       (c) Upon the occurrence of either (i) the Construction Agent’s delivery of certification pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i) above that the Construction Budget is not In Balance, or (ii) the thirty (30) days consultation period referred to in Section 5.5(b) above shall expire and the Agent shall continue to disagree with the Construction Agent’s assertion that the Construction Budget is In Balance, the Lessor shall have the option, exercisable in its sole discretion, upon notice to the Construction Agent, to require the Construction Agent to deposit (a “Balance Deposit”) with the Lessor within five (5) Business Days an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the amount which if paid to the Construction Agent would, together with any Available Commitments and Other Available Amounts be sufficient to make the Construction Budget In Balance and (y) the Maximum Amount.

       (d) In the event the Construction Agent is required to make a Balance Deposit pursuant to Section 5.5(c) above, such Balance Deposit shall evidence a portion of the Maximum Amount and any amounts withdrawn from the Balance Deposit to fund Property Costs shall reduce dollar for dollar the Maximum Amount.

     The Borrower acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Agent under this Security Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Security Agreement shall be governed by the Credit Agreements, Section 8.6 of the Participation Agreement, intercreditor agreements among the Secured Parties and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time (until such time as all amounts due and owing to the Secured Parties and the Agent under the Operative Agreements have been paid in full), but the Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and the Borrower shall be under no obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

  14.   Notices.

     All notices required or permitted to be given under this Security Agreement shall be in writing and delivered as provided in Section 12.2 of the Participation Agreement.

  20.   GOVERNING LAW.

     EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN SECTION 12(a) HEREOF, THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED, INTERPRETED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE PRINCIPLES THEREOF RELATING TO CONFLICTS OF LAW), EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LAWS OF THE STATE WHERE THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED ARE REQUIRED TO APPLY.

  21.   Obligations Are Without Recourse.

     The provisions of the Participation Agreement relating to limitations on liability are hereby incorporated by reference herein, mutatis mutandis.

  22.   Partial Release; Full Release.

     The Agent may (subject to the applicable provisions of the Operative Agreements) release for such consideration as it may require any portion of the Security Assets without (as to the remainder of the Security Assets) in any way impairing or affecting the Lien, security interest and priority herein provided for the Agent compared to any other Lien holder or secured party. Further, the Agent shall execute and deliver to the Borrower such documents and instruments as may be required to release the Lien and security interest created by this Security Agreement with respect to the Property as provided in Section 8.8 of the Participation Agreement or to grant the easements and permit the other matters provided for in Section 8.5 of the Participation Agreement.

  23.   Miscellaneous.

       (a) This Security Agreement is one (1) of the documents which create Liens and security interests that secure payment and performance of the Obligations. The Agent, at its election, may commence or consolidate in a single action all proceedings to realize upon all such Liens and security interests. The Borrower hereby waives (i) any objections to the commencement or continuation of an action to foreclose the Lien of this Security Agreement or exercise of any other remedies hereunder based on any action

11


 

  being prosecuted or any judgment entered with respect to the Obligations or any Liens or security interests that secure payment and performance of the Obligations and (ii) any objections to the commencement of, continuation of, or entry of a judgment in any such other action based on any action or judgment connected to this Security Agreement. In case of a foreclosure sale, the Security Assets may be sold, at the Agent’s election, in one (1) parcel or in more than one (1) parcel and the Agent is specifically empowered (without being required to do so, and in its sole and absolute discretion) to cause successive sales of portions of the Security Assets to be held.
 
       (b) THE PROVISIONS OF THE PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT RELATING TO SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION AND VENUE ARE HEREBY INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE HEREIN, MUTATIS MUTANDIS.

  24.   Conflicts with Participation Agreement.

     Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Security Agreement and the Participation Agreement, the terms of the Participation Agreement shall govern.

  25.   THE LESSEE AS A PARTY.

     THE LESSEE HAS EXECUTED THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT FOR THE PURPOSES OF SECTIONS 3 AND 11 HEREOF AND FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUBJECTING TO THE SECURITY INTEREST AND LIEN GRANTED HEREUNDER IN FAVOR OF THE AGENT FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE SECURED PARTIES ALL OF THE RIGHT, TITLE AND INTEREST OF THE LESSEE, IF ANY, IN AND TO THE SECURITY ASSETS TO SECURE THE PROMPT PAYMENT IN FULL OF ALL AMOUNTS OWING BY THE LESSEE FROM TIME TO TIME AND THE PERFORMANCE OF ALL OBLIGATIONS OF THE LESSEE FROM TIME TO TIME UNDER THE OPERATIVE AGREEMENTS. TO EFFECT THE FOREGOING, LESSEE HEREBY GRANTS TO THE AGENT (FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE SECURED PARTIES) A SECURITY INTEREST IN AND TO ALL OF THE RIGHT, TITLE AND INTEREST OF THE LESSEE, IF ANY, IN AND TO THE SECURITY ASSETS (TO THE EXTENT LESSEE, RATHER THAN THE BORROWER, IS DETERMINED TO HAVE ANY RIGHT, TITLE OR INTEREST THEREIN AND WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY LANGUAGE IN SECTION 2 OR THE DEFINITION OF “SECURITY ASSETS” OR ANY DEFINITION OF ANY ITEM CONSTITUTING THE SECURITY ASSETS WHICH OTHERWISE WOULD LIMIT THE SECURITY ASSETS TO THE RIGHT, TITLE AND INTEREST OF THE BORROWER THEREIN), TO SECURE THE PROMPT PAYMENT IN FULL OF ALL AMOUNTS OWING BY THE LESSEE FROM TIME TO TIME AND THE PERFORMANCE OF ALL OBLIGATIONS OF THE LESSEE UNDER THE OPERATIVE AGREEMENTS. THE LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, UPON THE OCCURRENCE AND CONTINUANCE OF A LEASE EVENT OF DEFAULT, THE AGENT SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO EXERCISE ANY OR ALL OF ITS RIGHTS AND REMEDIES HEREUNDER AS AGAINST ANY SUCH RIGHT, TITLE OR INTEREST OF THE LESSEE IN OR TO THE SECURITY ASSETS.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 


 

ARTICLE I

Creation of Security Interest

     Section 1.1     To secure the prompt payment and performance in full when and as due, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, of the Obligations of the Pledgor, the Pledgor hereby assigns, mortgages, conveys, pledges, hypothecates and delivers to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Pledgor in and to:

       (a)     Account number         maintained by the Intermediary in the name of the Pledgor or for the benefit of the Pledgor, and all successor and replacement accounts, regardless of the numbers of such accounts or the offices at which such accounts are maintained (collectively, any or all of the foregoing may be referred to herein as the “Liquid Collateral Account”) and all rights of the Pledgor in connection with the Liquid Collateral Account, and all investment property, security entitlements, financial assets, certificated securities, uncertificated securities (including mutual funds shares), money, cash, currency, deposit accounts, instruments, general intangibles, and all other investments or property of any sort now or hereafter held, maintained or administered in the Liquid Collateral Account in the name of or for the benefit of the Pledgor.
 
       (b)     All rollovers, renewals or reinvestments of any of the foregoing property.
 
       (c)     All stock or conversion rights, rights to subscribe, liquidation dividends or preferences, stock dividends, dividends, rights to interest, interest payments, dividends paid in stock, rights under hedge or derivative transactions, equity swaps, caps, floors or collars, new securities or other property which the Pledgor is or may hereafter become entitled to receive on account of or related to any of the foregoing property.
 
       (d)     The proceeds (including, without limitation, insurance proceeds from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation or the Securities Investor Protection Corporation or any other insurance company), increase and products of any of the foregoing or replacements thereof or substitutions therefor (any and all of the foregoing items set forth in this Section 1.1(a)-(d) and all proceeds thereof being hereinafter referred to as the “Liquid Collateral”).

     Section 1.2     The Pledgor will execute and deliver to the Agent, concurrently with the execution of this Assignment, and at any time or times hereafter at the request of the Agent, all assignments, conveyances, assignment statements, financing statements, renewal financing statements, security agreements, affidavits, notices and all other agreements, instruments and documents that the Agent may reasonably request, and will execute all necessary endorsements in order to perfect and maintain the security interests and liens granted herein by the Pledgor to the Agent and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated herein and under the Operative Agreements. In addition, the Pledgor represents and warrants that its name is as set forth on the signature page hereto and that the location of the Pledgor for purposes of the

Priority of Security Interests

     Section 2.1     The Pledgor warrants, represents and covenants that the pledge and security interest created in Section 1.1 hereof is a first-priority security interest in favor of the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall constitute at all times a valid and perfected security interest in and upon all of the Liquid Collateral and that said security interest in the Liquid Collateral shall not become subordinate or junior to the security interests, liens or claims of any other person, firm or corporation, including without limitation the United States or any department, agency or instrumentality thereof, or any state, county or local governmental agency. The Pledgor shall not (without the prior written approval of the Agent, acting upon the direction of the Majority Secured Parties) grant a security interest in or permit a lien or encumbrance upon the Liquid Collateral to anyone except the Agent as long as all or any portion of the Obligations of the Pledgor remain unsatisfied.

     Section 3.4     The Agent’s failure at any time or times hereafter to require strict performance by the Pledgor of any of the provisions, warranties, terms and conditions contained in this Assignment shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of the Agent at any time or times hereafter to demand strict performance therewith and with respect to any other provisions, warranties, terms and conditions contained in this Assignment.

ARTICLE IV

Access/Release of Liquid Collateral

     Section 4.1     Although the Liquid Collateral Account will be maintained in the name of the Pledgor, the Pledgor shall not have access thereto or to any of the funds or other Liquid Collateral therein, and the Agent shall have exclusive control and authority over the Liquid Collateral Account and all such funds and other Liquid Collateral therein except as expressly provided in Article V.

     Section 5.2     Except upon the occurrence of a Liquid Collateral Agreement Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, the Agent shall consult from time to time with the Pledgor regarding the investment of all amounts in the Liquid Collateral Account and shall invest such amounts as the Pledgor or its designated representative may request in writing from time to time; provided, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Liquid Collateral Agreement Event of Default, the Agent shall make all determinations regarding the investment and reinvestment of amounts in the Liquid Collateral Account; provided, further, that all such amounts shall be invested at all times in Permitted Investments.

  EX-10.7 9 w88716exv10w7.htm EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN exv10w7

 

Exhibit 10.7

HUMAN GENOME SCIENCES, INC.
EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
(As Amended and Restated Effective May 21, 2003)

     This Human Genome Sciences, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (this “PLAN”) provides eligible employees of Human Genome Sciences, Inc. (the “CORPORATION”) and certain of its subsidiaries with opportunities to purchase shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “COMMON STOCK”). The Plan is intended to benefit the Corporation by increasing the employees’ interest in the Corporation’s growth and success and encouraging employees to remain in the employ of the Corporation or its participating subsidiaries. The Plan is intended to constitute an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “CODE”), and shall be so applied and interpreted.

     1.       Shares Subject to the Plan. Subject to adjustment as provided herein, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be made available for purchase under the Plan is 250,000 shares. The shares purchased under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “BOARD”), be authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, shares purchased on the open market, or shares from any other proper source.

     2.       Administration. The Plan will be administered by the Board or by a committee appointed by the Board (the “ADMINISTRATOR”).. The Administrator has authority to interpret the Plan, to make, amend and rescind all rules and regulations for the administration and operation of the Plan, and to make all other determinations necessary or desirable in administering and operating the Plan, all of which will be final and conclusive. No member of the Administrator shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan.

     3.       Eligibility. All employees of the Corporation, including directors who are employees, and all employees of any subsidiary of the Corporation (as defined in Code section 424(f)), now or hereafter existing, that is designated by the Administrator from time to time as a participating employer under the Plan (a “DESIGNATED SUBSIDIARY”), are eligible to participate in the Plan, subject to such further eligibility requirements as may be specified by the Administrator consistent with Code section 423.

     4.       Options to Purchase Common Stock.

     (a)     Options (“OPTIONS”) will be granted pursuant to the Plan to each eligible employee on the first day on which the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation (“NASDAQ”) system is open for trading (“TRADING DAY”) on or after January 1 of each year commencing on or after the Effective Date (as defined in Section 18), or such other date specified by the Administrator. Each Option will terminate on the last Trading Day of a period specified by the Administrator (each such period referred to herein as an “OPTION PERIOD”). No Option Period shall be longer than 27 months in duration. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, subsequent Option Periods of equal duration will follow consecutively thereafter, each commencing on the first Trading Day immediately after the expiration of the preceding Option Period.

     (b)     An individual must be employed as an eligible employee by the Corporation or a Designated Subsidiary on the first Trading Day of an Option Period in order to be granted an

-1-


 

Option for that Option Period. However, the Administrator may designate any subsequent Trading Day(s) (each such designated Trading Day referred to herein as an “INTERIM TRADING DAY”) in an Option Period upon which Options will be granted to eligible employees who first commence employment with, or first become eligible employees of, the Corporation or a Designated Subsidiary after the first Trading Day of the Option Period. In such event, the Interim Trading Day shall constitute the first Trading Day of the Option Period for all Options granted on such day for all purposes under the Plan.

     (c)     Each Option represents a right to purchase on the last Trading Day of the Option Period or on one or more Trading Days within the Option Period designated by the Administrator (each such designated Trading Day and the last Trading Day of the Option Period, a “PURCHASE DATE”), at the Purchase Price hereinafter provided for, shares of Common Stock up to such maximum number of shares specified by the Administrator on or before the first day of the Option Period. All eligible employees granted Options under the Plan for an Option Period shall have the same rights and privileges with respect to such Options. The purchase price of each share of Common Stock (the “PURCHASE PRICE”) subject to an Option will be determined by the Administrator, in its discretion, on or before the beginning of the Option Period; provided, however, that the Purchase Price for an Option with respect to any Option Period shall never be less than the lesser of 85 percent of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on (i) the first Trading Day of the Option Period or (ii) the Purchase Date, and shall never be less than the par value of the Common Stock.

     (d)     For purposes of the Plan, “FAIR MARKET VALUE” on a Trading Day means the average of the high and low sale prices per share of Common Stock as reflected on the principal consolidated transaction reporting system for securities listed on any national securities exchange or other market quotation system on which the Common Stock may be principally listed or quoted or, if there are no transactions on a Trading Day, then such average for the preceding Trading Day upon which transactions occurred.

     (e)     Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, no employee shall be granted an Option under this Plan if such employee, immediately after the Option would otherwise be granted, would own 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of the stock of the Corporation or any subsidiary. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the attribution rules of Code section 424(d) will apply in determining the stock ownership of an employee, and all stock which the employee has a contractual right to purchase will be treated as stock owned by the employee.

     (f)     Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, no employee may be granted an Option which permits his rights to purchase Common Stock under this Plan and all other stock purchase plans of the Corporation and its subsidiaries to accrue at a rate which exceeds $25,000 of the fair market value of such Common Stock (determined at the time such Option is granted) for each calendar year in which the Option is outstanding at any time, as required by Code section 423.

     5.       Payroll Deductions and Cash Contributions.

     To facilitate payment of the Purchase Price of Options, the Administrator, in its discretion, may permit eligible employees to authorize payroll deductions to be made on each payday during the Option Period, and/or to contribute cash or cash-equivalents to the Corporation, up to a maximum amount determined by the Administrator. The Corporation will maintain bookkeeping accounts for all employees who authorize payroll deduction or make cash contributions. Interest will not be paid on any employee accounts, unless the Administrator determines otherwise. The Administrator shall establish rules and procedures, in its discretion,

-2-


 

from time to time regarding elections to authorize payroll deductions, changes in such elections, timing and manner of cash contributions, and withdrawals from employee accounts. Amounts credited to employee accounts on the Purchase Date will be applied to the payment of the Purchase Price of outstanding Options pursuant to Section 6 below.

     6.       Exercise of Options; Purchase of Common Stock. Options shall be exercised at the close of business on the Purchase Date. In accordance with rules established by the Administrator, the Purchase Price of Common Stock subject to an option shall be paid (i) from funds credited to an eligible employee’s account, (ii) by a broker-assisted cashless exercise in accordance with Regulation T of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or (iii) by such other method as the Administrator shall determine from time to time. Options shall be exercised only to the extent the purchase price is paid with respect to whole shares of Common Stock, unless the Administrator otherwise provides.. Any balance remaining in an employee’s account on a Purchase Date after such purchase of Common Stock will be carried forward automatically into the employee’s account for the next Purchase Date or Option Period, as applicable, unless the employee is not an eligible employee with respect to the next Purchase Date or Option Period, as applicable, in which case such amount will be promptly refunded.

     7.       Issuance of Certificates. As soon as practicable following each Purchase Date, certificates representing shares of Common Stock purchased under the Plan will be issued only in the name of the employee, in the name of the employee and another person of legal age as joint tenants with rights of survivorship, or (in the Administrator’s sole discretion) in the street name of a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee holder designated by the employee or the Administrator. In the alternative, the Administrator may provide for uncertificated, book entry issuance of the shares of Common Stock purchased under the Plan.

     8.       Rights on Retirement, Death, Termination of Employment, or Termination of Status as Eligible Employee. In the event of an employee’s termination of employment or termination of status as an eligible employee prior to a Purchase Date (whether as a result of the employee’s voluntary or involuntary termination, retirement, death or otherwise), any outstanding Option granted to him will immediately terminate, no further payroll deduction will be taken from any pay due and owing to the employee and the balance in the employee’s account will be paid to the employee or, in the event of the employee’s death, (a) to the executor or administrator of the employee’s estate or (b) if no such executor or administrator has been appointed to the knowledge of the Administrator, to such other person(s) as the Administrator may, in its discretion, designate. If, prior to a Purchase Date, the Designated Subsidiary by which an employee is employed will cease to be a subsidiary of the Corporation, or if the employee is transferred to a subsidiary of the Corporation that is not a Designated Subsidiary, the employee will be deemed to have terminated employment for the purposes of this Plan.

     9.       Optionees Not Stockholders. Neither the granting of an Option to an employee nor the deductions from his pay will constitute such employee a stockholder of the shares of Common Stock covered by an Option under this Plan until such shares have been purchased by and issued to him.

     10.     Options Not Transferable. Options under this Plan are not transferable by a participating employee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and are exercisable during the employee’s lifetime only by the employee.

     11.     Withholding of Taxes. To the extent that a participating employee realizes ordinary income in connection with the purchase, sale or other transfer of any shares of Common Stock purchased under the Plan or the crediting of interest to the employee’s account, the Corporation may withhold amounts needed to cover such taxes from any payments otherwise

-3-


 

due and owing to the participating employee or from shares that would otherwise be issued to the participating employee hereunder. Any participating employee who sells or otherwise transfers shares purchased under the Plan must, within 30 days of such sale or transfer, notify the Corporation in writing of the sale or transfer.

     12.     Application of Funds. All funds received or held by the Corporation under the Plan may be used for any corporate purpose until applied to the purchase of Common Stock and/or refunded to participating employees and can be commingled with other general corporate funds. Participating employees’ accounts will not be segregated.

     13.     Effect of Changes in Capitalization.

     (a)     Changes in Stock. If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased or decreased or the shares of Common Stock are changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Corporation by reason of any recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse split, combination of shares, exchange of shares, stock dividend, or other distribution payable in capital stock, or other increase or decrease in such shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Corporation occurring after the effective date of the Plan, the number and kind of shares that may be purchased under the Plan shall be adjusted proportionately and accordingly by the Corporation. In addition, the number and kind of shares for which Options are outstanding shall be similarly adjusted so that the proportionate interest, if any, of a participating employee immediately following such event shall, to the extent practicable, be the same as immediately prior to such event. Any such adjustment in outstanding Options shall not change the aggregate Purchase Price payable by a participating employee with respect to shares subject to such Options, but shall include a corresponding proportionate adjustment in the Purchase Price per share.

     (b)     Reorganization in Which the Corporation Is the Surviving Corporation. Subject to Subsection (c) of this Section 13, if the Corporation shall be the surviving corporation in any reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Corporation with one or more other corporations, all outstanding Options under the Plan shall pertain to and apply to the securities to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Options would have been entitled immediately following such reorganization, merger or consolidation, with a corresponding proportionate adjustment of the Purchase Price per share so that the aggregate Purchase Price thereafter shall be the same as the aggregate Purchase Price of the shares subject to such Options immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation.

     (c)     Reorganization in Which the Corporation Is Not the Surviving Corporation or Sale of Assets or Stock. Upon any dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, or upon a merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Corporation with one or more other corporations in which the Corporation is not the surviving corporation, or upon a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to another corporation, or upon any transaction (including, without limitation, a merger or reorganization in which the Corporation is the surviving corporation) approved by the Board that results in any person or entity owning more than 50 percent of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Corporation, the Plan and all Options outstanding hereunder shall terminate, except to the extent provision is made in writing in connection with such transaction for the continuation of the Plan and/or the assumption of the Options theretofore granted, or for the substitution for such Options of new Options covering the stock of a successor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kinds of shares and exercise prices, in which event the Plan and Options theretofore granted shall continue in the manner and under the terms so provided. In the event of any such termination of the Plan, the Option Period shall be deemed to have ended on the last Trading Day prior to such termination, and, unless the Administrator determines otherwise in its

-4-


 

discretion, each participating employee shall have the ability to choose either to (i) have all monies then credited to such employee’s account (including interest, to the extent any has accrued) returned to such participating employee or (ii) exercise his Options in accordance with Section 6 on such last Trading Day; provided, however, that if a participating employee does not exercise his right of choice, his Options shall be deemed to have been automatically exercised in accordance with Section 6 on such last Trading Day. The Administrator shall send written notice of an event that will result in such a termination to all participating employees not later than the time at which the Corporation gives notice thereof to its stockholders.

     (d)     Adjustments. Adjustments under this Section 13 related to stock or securities of the Corporation shall be made by the Committee, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding, and conclusive.

     (e)     No Limitations on Corporation. The grant of an Option pursuant to the Plan shall not affect or limit in any way the right or power of the Corporation to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve or liquidate, or to sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

     14.     Amendment of the Plan. The Board may at any time, and from time to time, amend this Plan in any respect, except that (a) if the approval of any such amendment by the stockholders of the Corporation is required by Code section 423, such amendment will not be effected without such approval, and (b) in no event may any amendment be made which would cause the Plan to fail to comply with Code section 423 unless expressly so provided by the Board.

     15.     Insufficient Shares. In the event that the total number of shares of Common Stock specified in elections to be purchased under any Option plus the number of shares purchased under all Options previously granted under this Plan exceeds the maximum number of shares issuable under this Plan, the Administrator will allot the shares then available on a pro rata basis. Any funds then remaining in a participating employee’s account after purchase of the employee’s pro-rata number of shares will be refunded.

     16.     Termination of the Plan. This Plan may be terminated at any time by the Board. Except as otherwise provided in Section 13(c) hereof, upon termination of this Plan all outstanding Options shall immediately terminate and amounts in the employees’ accounts will be promptly refunded.

     17.     Governmental Regulations.

     (a)     The Corporation’s obligation to sell and deliver Common Stock under this Plan is subject to listing on a national stock exchange or quotation on Nasdaq and the approval of all governmental authorities required in connection with the authorization, issuance or sale of such stock.

     (b)     The Plan will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof, except to the extent that such law is preempted by federal law.

     18.     Effective Date. The Plan became effective as of July 1, 2000 (the “EFFECTIVE DATE”), subject to approval of the Plan by the stockholders of the Corporation within 12 months of the Effective Date, and shall continue in effect, as amended and restated herein, until further amended or terminated by the Board.
