<PAGE> 11
SECTION 3.5. Procedures for Advances.
(a) Funding Request. With respect to each funding of an Advance, the

later than 11:00 a.m., New York time, four (4) Business Days (in the case of a

Advance or an amount to be capitalized pursuant to Section 3.9(f)) shall be in a
minimum amount of $1,000,000 or in amounts of $100,000 in excess thereof.
Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent to such
Advance set forth in Section 3.5 and Section 6, each Participant shall fund its

as the case may be, in immediately available federal funds by wire transfer to
the Agent for deposit to the Lessee's demand deposit account with the Indenture
Trustee not later than 1:00 p.m. New York time, on the applicable Funding Date.
Upon (i) the Lessee's receipt of the funds provided by the Participants with
respect to an Advance, and (ii) satisfaction or waiver of the conditions
precedent to such Advance set forth in Section 6, the Lessee shall pay or retain
as payment or reimbursement of Property Improvements Costs, in each case from
the funds provided by the Participants for such Advance.
(b) Procedure for Fixed Rate Advances.
(i) When the Lessee wishes to request the Lessor to make, and the
Participants to submit through the Agent an offer to fund, Loans and
Certificate Purchaser Amounts with respect to a Fixed Rate Advance or
convert a Eurodollar Rate Advance to a Fixed Rate Advance or continue a
Fixed Rate Advance as another Fixed Rate Advance, it shall transmit to
the Indenture Trustee by facsimile transmission a request in
substantially the form of Exhibit B-2 (a "Fixed Rate Request") so as to
be received no later than 12:00 noon (New York time) four (4) Business
Days prior to the date of the proposed Fixed Rate Advance, conversion
or continuation specifying:
(1) the proposed date of such Advance, conversion or continuation,
which shall be a Business Day and, (A) if a conversion from a
Eurodollar Rate Advance, shall be the last day of the
applicable Interest Period with respect to the Advance to be
converted or (B)
<PAGE> 12
if a continuation of a Fixed Rate Advance, shall be the last
day of the Fixed Rate Period applicable thereto;
(2) the aggregate amount of such Fixed Rate Advance, conversion or
continuation, which shall be a minimum amount of $5,000,000;
and
(3) the maturity date with respect thereto (the "Fixed Rate
Maturity Date"), which shall be a Business Day not later than
the Maturity Date.
The Lessee shall pay to the Indenture Trustee a fee of $1,000 for each
Fixed Rate Request.
(ii) Upon receipt of a Fixed Rate Request from the Lessee, the
Indenture Trustee will promptly forward such Fixed Rate Request to the
Participants by facsimile transmission.
(iii)(1) Each Participant, upon receipt of a Fixed Rate Request, shall
submit an offer (a "Fixed Rate Offer") to fund its Loans or
Certificate Purchaser Amounts with respect to the applicable
Fixed Rate Advance, convert its Loans or Certificate Purchaser
Amounts with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Advance
to the requested Fixed Rate Advance or continue its Loans or
Certificate Purchaser Amounts with respect to the applicable
Fixed Rate Advance to the requested Fixed Rate Advance in
response to such Fixed Rate Request. Each Fixed Rate Offer
must comply with the requirements of this subsection (iii) and
must be submitted to the Indenture Trustee by facsimile
transmission not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) three
(3) Business Days prior to the proposed Funding Date,
conversion date or continuation date.
(2) Each Fixed Rate Offer shall specify:
(A) the proposed date of the Advance, conversion or
continuation;
(B) the principal amount of such Participant's Loans or
Certificate Purchaser Amounts with respect to the
Advance, conversion or continuation for which such
Fixed Rate Offer is being made, which principal
amount must be equal to such Participant's pro rata
share of the aggregate amount requested;
(C) the fixed rate per annum (rounded upward to the
nearest 1/100th of 1%) offered for such Fixed Rate
Advance; and
<PAGE> 13
(D) the Fixed Rate Maturity Date with respect to such
Fixed Rate Advance (which shall be the date requested
by the Lessee) (the period from the date any Fixed
Rate Advance is made to its Fixed Rate Maturity Date
is referred to as a "Fixed Rate Period").
(iv) Promptly on receipt on the third Business Day prior to the
proposed Funding Date or conversion or continuation date, the Indenture
Trustee will notify the Lessee of the terms of all Fixed Rate Offers
submitted by the Participants with respect to the Fixed Rate Request.
The Indenture Trustee's notice to the Lessee shall specify (1) the
aggregate amount for which offers have been received; and (2) the
respective amounts and interest rates, as the case may be, and the
weighted average interest rate so offered. Subject only to the
provisions of Section 6 and to the Lessee's right to reject all Fixed
Rate Offers set forth in Section 3.5(b)(v), any Fixed Rate Offer shall
be irrevocable.
(v) Promptly upon receipt of the Indenture Trustee's notice referred to
in Section 3.5(b)(iv) above, on the third Business Day prior to the
proposed Funding Date or conversion or continuation date, the Lessee
shall notify the Indenture Trustee of its acceptance or non-acceptance
of the Fixed Rate Offers which it has received pursuant to Section
3.5(b)(iv). The Lessee shall be under no obligation to accept any
offer, but if any offer is rejected, all Fixed Rate Offers with respect
to the same Fixed Rate Request must be rejected. If the Lessee accepts
any Fixed Rate Offer, the Lessee must accept all Fixed Rate Offers with
respect to the same Fixed Rate Request only in whole. If the Fixed Rate
Offers are rejected or if no response is received from the Lessee, the
Lessee may elect to have the applicable Advance be a Eurodollar Rate
Advance pursuant to Section 3.5(a) or (c) hereof provided the
conditions thereto are met. Otherwise, the Advance that was the subject
of such Fixed Rate Request shall be a Eurodollar Rate Advance with an
Interest Period of one month commencing on the applicable Funding Date
or proposed conversion date, provided, that no Interest Period shall
commence or terminate on or after the Maturity Date.
(c) Conversion and Continuation Procedures. The Lessee may (i)(A) on
the last day of any Fixed Rate Period, convert all or any part of any Fixed Rate
Advance to a Eurodollar Rate Advance or (B) on the last day of any Interest
Period, continue the applicable Eurodollar Rate Advance as a Eurodollar Rate
Advance for a successive Interest Period, by giving notice to the Indenture
Trustee by 12:00 noon, New York time, on a day which is at least three Business
Days prior to the proposed date of such conversion or continuation or (ii) on
the last day of any Fixed Rate Period, continue all or any part of any Fixed
Rate Advance as another Fixed Rate Advance by giving the notice and following
the procedure set forth in Section 3.5(b). Each such notice with respect to the
conversion into or continuation of a Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be
irrevocable, shall be effective upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee, shall be
in writing (or by telephone to be confirmed in writing by the Lessee on the
Business Day such telephonic notice was given), shall specify the Type, the date
and amount of the conversion or
<PAGE> 14
continuation, the Advances to be converted or continued and the Interest Period
applicable thereto. If the Lessee fails to give appropriate notice pursuant to
this Section 3.5(c) or Section 3.5(b), such Advance shall automatically become a
Eurodollar Rate Advance with an Interest Period of one month at the end of its
then current Fixed Rate Period or Interest Period, provided, that no Interest
Period shall commence or terminate on or after the Maturity Date. Promptly upon
receipt of each notice of conversion or continuation, the Indenture Trustee
shall advise each Participant thereof. No Fixed Rate Advance shall be converted
or continued on any day other than the last day of the Fixed Rate Period
relating to such Advance.
SECTION 3.6. Allocation of Commitments. Schedule I hereto contains an
allocation for each Participant of (i) the amount of its Commitment representing
its Tranche A Loan Commitment ("Tranche A Loan Commitment"), (ii) the amount of
its commitment representing its Tranche B Loan Commitment ("Tranche B Loan
Commitment"), (iii) the amount of its commitment representing its Certificate
Purchaser Commitment ("Certificate Commitment"), (iv) the amount of its
Commitment (and allocation to its Tranche A Loan Commitment and Tranche B Loan
Commitment) allocated to the 364 Day Commitment, and (v) the amount of its
Commitment (and allocation to its Tranche A Loan Commitment, Tranche B Loan
Commitment and Certificate Commitment) allocated to the Eighteen Month
Commitment. The Lessee, the Lessor and the Participants have approved all such
allocations and commitments. Schedule I shall be amended as required to reflect
changes in the allocations set forth thereon due to the addition of additional
Participants pursuant to Section 12.1.
SECTION 3.7. Use of Commitments. (a) All remittances by each
Participant to the Lessor to fund Advances shall be allocated first, to the 364
Day Commitment of such Participant, and second, to the Eighteen Month Commitment
of such Participant. Unless extended as provided in this Section 3.7, the 364
Day Commitment shall terminate on the day which is 364 days after the Closing
Date and the unused portion thereof shall not be available to the Lessor
thereafter. The Lessee shall notify the Lessor, the Indenture Trustee and each
Participant not less than forty-five (45) days prior to the expiration date of
the 364 Day Commitment whether it wishes to extend the availability of the
unused portion of the 364 Day Commitment to the Six Month Extension Termination
Date. The availability of the unused portion of the 364 Day Commitment shall not
be extended unless the Indenture Trustee and each Participant, in its sole
discretion, has notified the Lessor and the Indenture Trustee within fifteen
(15) days prior to such termination date that it will permit the unused portion
of its 364 Day Commitment to be extended to the Six Month Extension Termination
Date commencing on the Extension Date. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the
Lessee whether the Participants have agreed to permit the extension of such
unused portion of the 364 Day Commitment to the Six Month Extension Termination
Date. Any portion that is so extended shall bear Commitment Fees from and after
the Extension Date at a rate applicable to the 364 Day Commitment. The parties
hereto shall amend Schedule I hereto in connection with any such extension.
<PAGE> 15
(b) If the 364 Day Commitment is extended pursuant to Section 3.7(a),
the Lessee shall pay to each Participant its pro rata share of the Extension Fee
on the Extension Date.
SECTION 3.8. Termination, Reduction or Extension of Participants'
Commitments. (a) The Lessor shall have the right, upon not less than five (5)
Business Days' written notice to the Indenture Trustee, to terminate the
Participants' Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the
Participants' Commitments, provided that (i) after giving effect to such
reduction, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Tranche A Loans
shall not exceed the aggregate Tranche A Loan Commitments, (ii) after giving
effect to such reduction, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the
Tranche B Loans shall not exceed the aggregate Tranche B Loan Commitments, (iii)
after giving affect to such reduction, the aggregate principal amount of the
Certificates shall not exceed the aggregate Certificate Commitments, and (iv)
any such reduction shall be made pro rata among the Participants' Commitments
within each tranche. At any time other than during the continuance of an Event
of Default the Lessor shall exercise such right only as directed by the Lessee
and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default the
Lessor shall exercise such right only as directed by the Required Participants.
(b) The Lessee may, by written request to the Lessor and Indenture
Trustee (which the Indenture Trustee shall promptly forward to each Participant)
given at any time from time to time after six (6) months after the Closing Date,
request (an "Extension Request") that the Maturity Date be extended to the date
that is five (5) years after the date requested by the Lessee (the "Extension
Effective Date"). No later than the date (the "Extension Response Date") which
is (30) days after such request has been delivered to each of the Participants,
each Participant will notify the Lessor in writing (with a copy to the Indenture
Trustee and the Lessee) whether or not it consents to such Extension Request
(which consent may be granted or denied by each Participant in its sole
discretion and may be conditioned on receipt of such financial information or
other documentation as may be specified by such Participant including without
limitation satisfactory appraisals of the Property), provided that any
Participant that fails to so advise the Lessor on or prior to the Extension
Response Date shall be deemed to have denied such Extension Request. The
extension of the Maturity Date contemplated by any Extension Request shall
become effective as of the Extension Effective Date on or after the Extension
Response Date on which all of the Participants (other than non-consenting
Participants (each a "Non-Consenting Participant") which have been replaced by
Replacement Participants in accordance with Section 3.8(c)) shall have consented
to such Extension Request; provided that:
(A) on both the date of the Extension Request and the
Extension Effective Date, (x) each of the
representations and warranties made by the Lessee and
the Lessor in or pursuant to the Operative Documents
shall be true and correct in all material respects as
if made on and as of each such date, except for
representations and warranties made as of a specific
date,
<PAGE> 16
which shall be true and correct in all material
respects as of such date, (y) no Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, and (z) on
each of such dates the Indenture Trustee shall have
received a certificate of the Lessee and the Lessor,
each as to itself, as to the matters set forth in
clause (x) above and from the Lessee as to the
matters set forth in clause (y) above, and
(B) the Indenture Trustee and the Required Participants
shall have received satisfactory evidence that the
Expiration Date shall, after giving effect to any
extension thereof which has become effective on or
prior to such Extension Effective Date, occur on the
Maturity Date as so extended.
(c) The Lessee shall be permitted to replace any Non-Consenting
Participant under this Section 3.8 with a replacement bank or other financial
institution (a "Replacement Participant") at any time on or prior to the date
which is thirty (30) days after the relevant Extension Response Date; provided
that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii)
the Replacement Participant shall purchase, at par, all of the Notes and/or
Certificates of such Non-Consenting Participant on or prior to the date of
replacement, (iii) the Lessee shall be liable to such Non-Consenting Participant
under Section 13 of this Agreement if any Advance (or Loan or Certificate
Purchaser Amount with respect thereto) shall be prepaid (or purchased) other
than on the last day of the Interest Period or Interest Periods relating
thereto, (iv) the Replacement Participant, if not already a Participant, shall
be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Participants, (v) such replacement
shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12 of this Agreement
(provided that the Lessee or the relevant Replacement Participant shall be
obligated to pay or cause to be paid the Transaction Expenses arising in
connection therewith), (vi) the Replacement Participant shall have agreed to be
subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the
extension of the Maturity Date contemplated by the relevant Extension Request)
and the other Operative Documents, and (vii) at any time other than during the
continuance of an Event of Default, the Lessee shall have the exclusive right to
designate the Replacement Participant. The Indenture Trustee hereby agrees to
cooperate with the Lessee in the Lessee's efforts to arrange one or more
Replacement Participants as contemplated by this Section 3.8(c).
SECTION 3.9. Types of Advances; Interest and Certificate Yield Rates;
Procedures.
(a) Each Advance shall be comprised of either a Fixed Rate Advance or a
Eurodollar Rate Advance (each being herein called a "Type" of Advance), as the
Lessee shall specify in the related Funding Request or notice of conversion or
continuation pursuant to Section 3.5. Each Fixed Rate Advance (and Loan and
Certificate Purchaser Amount with respect to such Fixed Rate Advance) shall bear
interest or, with respect to a Certificate Purchaser Amount, yield ("Certificate
Yield"), as the case may be, for each
<PAGE> 17
day during the Fixed Rate Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal
to the Fixed Rate determined with respect to such Fixed Rate Period plus the
Applicable Margin.
(b) Each Eurodollar Rate Advance (and Loan and Certificate Purchaser
Amount with respect to such Eurodollar Rate Advance) shall bear interest or
Certificate Yield, as the case may be, for each day during each Interest Period
with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined
for such day plus the Applicable Margin; provided, however, that:
(i) each Advance and related Loan and Certificate Purchaser Amount
outstanding during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending
on the date three (3) Business Days thereafter shall bear interest or
Certificate Yield during such period at a rate per annum equal to the
Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and
(ii) an Advance and related Loan and Certificate Purchaser Amount shall
bear interest or Certificate Yield, as the case may be, at a rate per
annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin to
the extent expressly required by the terms hereof.
The Lessee shall give irrevocable written notice to the Indenture Trustee, in
accordance with Section 3.5 and the applicable provisions of the term "Interest
Period" set forth in Appendix 1, of the length of each Interest Period to be
applicable to each Eurodollar Rate Advance.
(c) If all or a portion of (i) the amount of any Loans or Certificate
Purchaser Amounts with respect to any Advance, (ii) any interest or Certificate
Yield payable thereon or (iii) any other amount payable hereunder shall not be
paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise),
such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is equal to
the Overdue Rate.
(d) Interest and Certificate Yield shall be payable in immediately
available funds (except as provided in paragraph (e) below) in arrears on each
Scheduled Payment Date, provided that (i) interest accruing pursuant to
paragraph (c) of this Section 3.9 shall be payable from time to time on demand
and (ii) each prepayment of Advances shall be accompanied by accrued interest to
the date of such prepayment on the amount of Advances so prepaid plus amounts
payable under Section 13.6 hereof. The Indenture Trustee shall provide the
Lessee with not less than five (5) days' notice of the amount of Basic Rent due
on any Scheduled Payment Date.
(e) On each date which is three (3) Business Days prior to each
Scheduled Payment Date during the Construction Period, unless the Lessee
notifies the Lessor prior to such date that the Lessee desires to pay in cash on
the Scheduled Payment Date the accrued interest and Certificate Yield on Loans
and Certificate Purchaser Amounts, respectively, with respect to Advances
allocated to Property Improvement Costs during the Construction Period and makes
such cash payment on the Scheduled Payment Date,
<PAGE> 18
the Lessee shall be deemed to have requested an Advance comprised of an Interest
Payment Advance pursuant to Section 3.5 and the Lessor shall be deemed to have
requested a funding of Loans and Certificate Purchaser Amounts pursuant to
Sections 3.2 and 3.3 with respect to such Advance in an amount equal to the
aggregate amount of the Basic Rent due and payable on such date with respect to
accrued interest and Certificate Yield on Loans and Certificate Purchaser
Amounts, respectively, with respect to outstanding Advances. Each Interest
Payment Advance shall initially be deemed to be a Eurodollar Rate Advance having
a one month Interest Period. The Funding Date with respect to any such Interest
Payment Advance (and related Loans and Certificate Purchaser Amounts and with
respect thereto) shall be the relevant Scheduled Payment Date (provided that
such Advance and such funding shall be subject to satisfaction of the applicable
conditions precedent set forth in Section 6) and the proceeds of such payment
shall be applied to pay such accrued interest and Certificate Yield. On each
such Funding Date during the Construction Period, the Property Cost and Property
Improvements Cost shall be increased by an amount equal to the Basic Rent paid
on such date with respect to such Property with the proceeds of such payment.
The Indenture Trustee shall provide the Lessee on a monthly basis with a
detailed statement or other form of confirmation showing all deemed Interest
Payment Advances made to the Lessee pursuant to this Section 3.9(e).
(f) Capitalization of Certain Amounts During Construction Period.
(i) On each date during the Construction Period that any amount is
payable by the Lessee under the Operative Documents on account of (A)
Basic Rent (to the extent provided in Section 3.9(e)), (B) fees
pursuant to Section 4 or (c) Supplemental Rent consisting of amounts
payable by the Lessor as rent or otherwise under the Ground Lease, such
amounts shall be capitalized by automatically treating such amount as
an Advance and related Loans and Certificate Purchaser Amounts made on
such date.
(ii) If any Lessor Party shall request the Lessor to capitalize the
amount of (A) any Claims or Taxes pursuant to Section 13.1(z) or
13.5(a), (B) any increased costs or reduced amounts pursuant to clause
(2) of Section 13.10(a) or (C) any loss or liability pursuant to
Section 24.1 of the Lease, any such amount shall be capitalized by
automatically treating such amount as an Advance and related Loans and
Certificate Purchaser Amounts (funded by such Lessor Party); provided,
however, that the Lessee shall have no obligation to pay any such
amounts if the Lessee exercises the Remarketing Option or is otherwise
required to pay the Residual Value Guarantee Amount in accordance with
the Lease and the other Operative Documents, except to the extent such
amounts may be included in the Residual Value Guarantee Amount. If any
such capitalized amounts are included in the Asset Termination Value,
Lease Balance or Participant Balance (the "3.9(f)(ii) portion" of the
Asset Termination Value, Lease Balance or Participant Balance), all the
Lessee payments and other amounts applied to the Asset Termination
Value, Lease Balance or Participant Balance shall be applied as
follows:
<PAGE> 19
(1) If any 3.9(f)(ii) portion is outstanding when a payment is
to be applied to the Asset Termination Value, Lease Balance or
Participant Balance, such payment shall first be applied to
the 3.9(f)(ii) portion of the Asset Termination Value, Lease
Balance or Participant Balance and shall be shared by the
Lessor Parties that funded such 3.9(f)(ii) portion of the
Asset Termination Value, Lease Balance, or Participant Balance
pro rata based on the amounts so funded by and owed to such
Lessor Parties.
(2) If any amount of such payment then remains, such remaining
amount shall be applied to all other amounts included in the
Asset Termination Value, Lease Balance or Participant Balance
(the "project costs portion" of the Asset Termination Value,
Lease Balance or Participant Balance) and shall be shared by
the Participants as provided in Section 6.2 to Section 6.10 of
the Indenture.
The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Lessee, the Lessor and each
Participant of each amount capitalized and treated as an Advance (and related
Loans and Certificate Purchaser Amounts) under this Section 3.9(f)(ii) within
fifteen (15) days after each such Advance.
(iii) Transaction Expenses incurred during the Construction Period
shall be funded as Advances and related Loans and Certificate Purchaser
Amounts and capitalized to the extent set forth in Section 9.1.
SECTION 3.10. Computation of Interest and Certificate Yield. (a) For
purposes of determining the Alternate Base Rate, interest and Certificate Yield
shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day
year for the actual days elapsed; and for purposes of determining a Eurodollar
Rate or a Fixed Rate, interest and Certificate Yield shall be calculated on the
basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. The Indenture Trustee shall
as soon as practicable after the commencement of each Interest Period or Fixed
Rate Period notify the Lessor, the Lessee and the Participants of each
determination of a Eurodollar Rate or a Fixed Rate. Any change in the interest
rate on an Advance and related Loans and Certificate Purchaser Amounts resulting
from a change in the Alternate Base Rate, the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements
or the Applicable Margin shall become effective as of the opening of business on
the day on which such change becomes effective. The Indenture Trustee shall as
soon as practicable notify the Lessor, the Lessee and the Participants of the
effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.
(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Indenture Trustee
pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on
the Lessor, the Lessee and the Participants in the absence of manifest error.
The Indenture Trustee shall, at the request of such parties, deliver to such
parties a statement showing the quotations used by the Indenture Trustee in
determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 3.9(a).

Trustee for the account of each Participant a commitment fee (the "Commitment
Fees") for the period from and including the Closing Date to the earlier of (i)
the Completion Date or (ii) the Outside Completion Date, computed in the case of
each Participant at a rate per annum equal to the Commitment Fee Rate applicable
to the 364 Day Commitment or the Eighteen Month Commitment, as the case may be,
on the amount of the Available Commitment of such Participant, in each case

SECTION 5.
CERTAIN INTENTIONS OF THE PARTIES
SECTION 5.1. Nature of Transaction. (a) It is the intent of the parties
hereto that: (i) the Lease constitutes an "operating lease" pursuant to
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, as amended, for purposes of
Lessee's financial reporting, and (ii) for purposes of federal, state and local
income or franchise taxes and for any other tax imposed on or measured by
income, the transaction contemplated hereby is a financing arrangement and
preserves ownership in the Property in the Lessee.
<PAGE> 21
Accordingly, and notwithstanding any provision of this Participation Agreement
to the contrary, the parties hereto agree and declare that: (i) the transactions
contemplated by the Lease are intended to have a dual, rather than single, form;
and (ii) all references in this Participation Agreement to the "lease" of the
Property which fail to reference such dual form do so as a matter of convenience
only and do not reflect the intent of parties hereto as to the true form of such
arrangements. Nevertheless, the Lessee acknowledges and agrees that neither the
Indenture Trustee, the Lessor nor any Participant has made any representations
or warranties to the Lessee concerning the tax, accounting or legal
characteristics of the Operative Documents and that the Lessee has obtained and
relied upon such tax, accounting and legal advice concerning the Operative
Documents as it deems appropriate.
(b) Anything to the contrary in the Operative Documents
notwithstanding, the parties hereto intend and agree that with respect to the
nature of the transactions evidenced by the Lease in the context of the exercise
of remedies under the Operative Documents, including, without limitation, in the
case of any proceedings under commercial or real estate law, any insolvency or
receivership proceedings or a petition under the United States bankruptcy laws
or any other applicable insolvency laws or statute of the United States of
America or any State or Commonwealth thereof affecting the Lessee, the Lessor,
or any Participant or any enforcement or collection actions, (i) the
transactions evidenced by the Lease are loans made by the Lessor and the
Participants as unrelated third party lenders to the Lessee secured by the
Property, (ii) the obligations of the Lessee under the Lease to pay Basic Rent
and Supplemental Rent or Asset Termination Value in connection with a purchase
of the Property pursuant to the Lease shall be treated as payments of interest
on and principal of, respectively, loans from the Lessor and the Participants to
the Lessee, and (iii) the Lease grants a security interest and mortgage or deed
of trust or lien, as the case may be, in the Property to the Lessor and the
Participants to secure the Lessee's performance under and payment of all amounts
under the Lease and the other Operative Documents.
(c) Specifically, without limiting the generality of subsection (b) of
this Section 5.1, the parties hereto further intend and agree that, for the
purpose of securing the Lessee's obligations for the repayment of the
above-described loans from the Lessor and the Participants to the Lessee, (i)
the Lease shall also be deemed to be a security agreement and financing
statement within the meaning of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (and
specifically, a construction mortgage, as said term is defined in Section
9-313(1)(c) of the Uniform Commercial Code) and a real property mortgage or deed
of trust; (ii) the conveyance provided for in Article II of the Lease shall be
deemed to be a grant by the Lessee to the Lessor and the Participants of a
mortgage lien and security interest in all of the Lessee's right, title and
interest in and to the Property and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or
involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, investments, securities or other
property, whether in the form of cash, investments, securities or other property
(it being understood that Lessee hereby mortgages and warrants and grants a
security interest in the Property to Lessor and the Participants to secure such
loans); (iii) the possession by the Lessor or any of its agents of notes and
such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable
documents or
<PAGE> 22
chattel paper shall be deemed to be "possession by the secured party" for
purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to Section 9-305 of the
Uniform Commercial Code; and (iv) notifications to Persons holding such
property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from financial
intermediaries, bankers or agents (as applicable) of the Lessee shall be deemed
to have been given for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under
Applicable Law. The Lessor and the Lessee shall, to the extent consistent with
the Lease, take such actions and execute, deliver, file and record such other
documents, financing statements, mortgages and deeds of trust as may be
reasonably necessary to ensure that, if the Lease were deemed to create a
security interest in the Property in accordance with this Section, such security
interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority
under Applicable Law and will be maintained as such throughout the Term.
(d) Specifically, without limiting the generality of subsections (a),
(b) and (c) of this Section 5.1, the parties hereto intend and agree that, for
purposes of filing federal, state and local returns, reports and other
statements relating to income or franchise taxes, or any other taxes imposed
upon or measured by income, (i) the Lessee shall be entitled to take any
deduction, credit, allowance or other reporting position consistent with its
status as owner of the Property; and (ii) neither the Lessor nor any Participant
shall take an initial position on its federal, state and local returns, reports
and other statements relating to income or franchise taxes that is inconsistent
with the Lessee's status as owner of the Property.
(e) If the transaction evidenced by this Agreement and the other
Operative Documents can no longer be treated as an operating lease pursuant to
GAAP for accounting purposes, all provisions in the Operative Documents limiting
the Lessee's obligation to pay the Lease Balance or Asset Termination Value
(including the Remarketing Option) shall no longer apply. If any such change in
accounting treatment shall occur, the Lessee shall enter into such amendments to
the Operative Documents as the Lessor or the Required Participants may
reasonably request to reflect the foregoing.
SECTION 5.2. Amounts Due Under Lease. Anything else herein or elsewhere
to the contrary notwithstanding, it is the intention of the Lessee, the Lessor,
the Participants and the Indenture Trustee that: (i) the amount and timing of
installments of Basic Rent due and payable from time to time from the Lessee
under the Lease shall be equal to the aggregate payments due and payable as
interest and principal on the Notes and Certificate Yield on, and the
Certificate Purchaser Amounts with respect to, the Certificates on each Payment
Date; (ii) if the Lessee elects the Purchase Option or becomes obligated to
purchase the Property under the Lease, the Notes, the Certificate Purchaser
Amounts, all interest and Certificate Yield, thereon and all other obligations
of the Lessee owing to the Certificate Holders, the Owner Trustee, the Note
Holders and the Indenture Trustee shall be paid in full by the Lessee; (iii) if
the Lessee properly elects the Remarketing Option, the Lessee shall only be
required to pay to the Lessor the proceeds of the sale of the Property, the
Residual Value Guarantee Amount and any amounts due pursuant to Section 13 of
this Participation Agreement and Section 22.1 of the Lease; and (iv) upon an
Event of Default resulting in an acceleration of the Lessee's obligation to
purchase the
<PAGE> 23
Property under the Lease, the amounts then due and payable by the Lessee under
the Lease shall include all amounts necessary to pay in full the Asset
Termination Value, plus all other amounts then due from the Lessee to the Note
Holders, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificate Holders and the Owner Trustee
under the Operative Documents.

reviewing the areas within their business and operations which could be
adversely affected by, and have developed or are developing a program to address
on a timely basis, the "Year 2000 problem" (that is, the risk that computer
applications used by the Lessee and its Subsidiaries may be unable to recognize
and perform properly date-sensitive functions involving certain dates prior to
and any date after December 31, 1999), and have made related appropriate inquiry
of material suppliers and vendors. Based on such review and program, the Lessee
believes that the "Year 2000 Problem" will not have a Material Adverse Effect on
the Lessee.

any Notes held by it only in a transaction which is exempt from registration
under the Securities Act and otherwise in accordance with applicable federal and
state securities laws, the terms hereof and of the Security Documents. By
acceptance of any Notes, each Note Holder shall be deemed to have made the
representations set forth in Section 8.2(a) hereof and such acceptance shall
constitute such Note Holder's agreement to be bound by the terms and provisions
of this Agreement and the Security Documents.
(b) Note Transfer Procedures. Each of the parties hereto, and each
other Note Holder, by its acceptance of a Note, hereby agrees as follows:
(i) On or prior to the date of any transfer of a Note by a Note Holder,
such Note Holder shall furnish to the Certificate Holders, the Owner
Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Lessee a written notice (a
"Transfer Notice") (A) setting forth the name of the proposed
transferee, (B) specifying the particular representation contained in
Section 8.2(a)(ii) hereof that shall be deemed made by the transferee
Note Holder upon such transfer and (C) in the event that such notice
shall specify that the representation that shall be deemed made by the
proposed transferee is of the type set forth in subparagraph (B), (C),
or (E) of Section 8.2(a)(ii) hereof, such notice shall be given not
less than ten days prior to the date of transfer and shall further set
forth the information required to be disclosed pursuant to such
subparagraph; and
(ii) In the event that the Transfer Notice shall contain information of
the type described in clause (C) of the preceding paragraph, then the
Lessee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to determine as
promptly as practicable (but in no event later than ten days following
receipt of the Transfer Notice) whether, as a result of matters
relating to the Lessee or the Certificate Holders or any of their
respective Affiliates, the proposed transfer could result in a
prohibited transaction, within the meaning of section 406 or 407 of
ERISA or in a transaction in connection with which a tax could be
imposed pursuant to Section 4975 of the Code (or any successor
provision thereto); and
(iii) In the event that the Lessee shall determine that the proposed
transfer could result in such a prohibited transaction or a transaction
in connection with which a tax could be imposed pursuant to Section
4975 of the Code, then (a) the Lessee shall thereupon furnish written
notice to such Note Holder and such other party describing in
reasonable detail the basis of such conclusion and (b) such Note Holder
shall refrain from consummating the proposed transaction, unless and
until such Note Holder shall obtain the written concurrence of the
Lessee and the Certificate Holders to such transfer. Upon the request
of such Note Holder,
<PAGE> 56
the Lessee and the Certificate Holders, as appropriate, agree to confer
in good faith regarding such conclusion.
(iv) Prior to a refinancing, if any, of the Notes and Certificates in
the private placement market, the restrictions on transfer applicable
to Certificate Holders set forth in Section 12.1(c) shall be equally
applicable to transfers of Notes by Note Holders and each Note Holder
wishing to transfer any Note shall comply therewith, substituting "Note
Holder", "Notes" and "Note Purchaser" for "Certificate Holder",
"Certificates" and "Certificate Purchaser" as required.
(c) Transfers of Certificates. No Certificate Holder may (without, in
the absence of a continuing Lease Default or Lease Event of Default, the prior
written consent of the Lessee (not to be unreasonably withheld)) assign, convey
or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its right, title or interest in, to
or under its Certificates or any of the Operative Documents, or the Property,
provided that (1) any Certificate Holder may pledge its interest without the
consent of the Lessee to any Federal Reserve Bank, (2) each transferee must be
an Institutional Investor, (3) without the prior written consent of the Lessee,
any Certificate Purchaser may transfer all or any portion of its interest to any
Institutional Investor that has either capital, surplus and undivided profits of
at least $40,000,000 or a net worth of at least $40,000,000 and (4) without the
prior written consent of the Lessee, each Certificate Purchaser may transfer all
or any portion of its interest to any Affiliate of such Participant or to any
other existing Participant; provided that in the case of any transfer (other
than to such Affiliate) each of the following conditions and any other
applicable conditions of the other Operative Documents are satisfied:
(i) Required Notice and Effective Date. If a Certificate Holder desires
to effect a transfer of its Certificates (or any portion thereof), it
shall give written notice of each such proposed transfer to the Lessee,
the Indenture Trustee and each other Participant at least five (5)
Business Days prior to such proposed transfer, setting forth the name
of such proposed transferee, the percentage or interest to be retained
by such Participant, if any, and the date on which such transfer is
proposed to become effective. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs
(including, without limitation, legal expenses) incurred by the Lessor,
the Indenture Trustee or any Participant in connection with any such
disposition by such Participant under this Section 12.1(c) shall be
borne by such transferring Participant. In the event of a transfer
under this Section 12.1(c), any expenses incurred by the transferee in
connection with its review of the Operative Documents and its
investigation of the transactions contemplated thereby shall be borne
by such transferee or the relevant Participant, as they may determine,
but shall not be considered costs and expenses which the Lessee is
obligated to pay or reimburse under Section 9. Any such proposed
transfer shall become effective upon the later of (i) the date proposed
in the transfer notice referred to above and (ii) the date on which all
conditions to such transfer set forth in this Section 12.1(c) shall
have been satisfied.
<PAGE> 57

Holder's interest pursuant to this Section 12.1 shall execute and
deliver to the Indenture Trustee, the Lessor and the Lessee an
Assignment and Acceptance in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit J ("Assignment and Acceptance"), duly executed by such
transferee and the transferring Participant, and a letter in
substantially the form of the Participant's Letter attached hereto as
Exhibit K ("Participant's Letter"), duly executed by such transferee,
and thereupon the obligations of the transferring Participant under the
Operative Documents shall be proportionately released and reduced to
the extent of such transfer. Upon any such transfer as above provided,
the transferee shall be deemed to be bound by all obligations (whether
or not yet accrued) under, and to have become a party to, all Operative
Documents to which its transferor was a party, shall be deemed the
pertinent "Participant" for all purposes of the Operative Documents and
shall be deemed to have made that portion of the payments pursuant to
this Participation Agreement previously made or deemed to have been
made by the transferor represented by the interest being conveyed; and
each reference herein and in the other Operative Documents to the
pertinent "Certificate Purchaser" or "Certificate Holder" shall
thereafter be deemed a reference to the transferee, to the extent of
such transfer, for all purposes. Upon any such transfer, the Indenture
Trustee shall deliver to each Participant, the Lessor and the Lessee a
new Schedule I and Schedule II to this Agreement, revised to reflect
the relevant information for such new Participant and the Commitment of
such new Participant (and the revised Commitment of the transferor
Participant if it shall not have transferred its entire interest).
(iii) Representations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth above, no Certificate Holder may assign, convey or transfer its
interest to any Person, unless such Person shall have delivered to the
Indenture Trustee, the Lessor and the Lessee a certificate confirming
the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Section
8 with respect to such Person (other than as such representation or
warranty relates to the execution and delivery of Operative Documents)
and representing that such Person has, independently and without
reliance upon the Indenture Trustee, any other Participant or, except
to the extent of the Lessee's representations made under the Operative
Documents when made, the Lessee, and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and
investigation into this transaction, the Property and the Lessee and
made its own decision to enter into this transaction.
(iv) Applicable Law. Such transfer shall comply with Applicable Law and
shall not require registration under any securities law applicable
thereto.
(v) At-Risk Requirements. Any transferee of a Certificate Holder's
interest pursuant to this Section 12.1 agrees to comply with the
"at-risk" requirements under GAAP with respect to such interest as set
forth in Issues 90-15, 96-21 and 97-1 of The Emerging Issues Task Force
Abstracts published by the Financial Accounting Standards Board,
provided that the foregoing transfer restriction shall
<PAGE> 58
not apply (A) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default or (B) to any transfer necessitated as a result of any
of the events specified in Section 13.9.
(d) Effect. From and after any transfer of its Notes or Certificates,
the transferring Participant shall be released, to the extent assumed by the
transferee, from its liability and obligations hereunder and under the other
Operative Documents to which such transferor is a party in respect of
obligations to be performed on or after the date of such transfer. Upon any
transfer by a Participant as above provided, any such transferee shall be deemed
a "Participant" for all purposes of such documents and each reference herein to
a Participant shall thereafter be deemed a reference to such transferee for all
purposes to the extent of such transfer, except as the context may otherwise
require. Notwithstanding any transfer as provided in this Section 12.1, the
transferor shall be entitled to all benefits accrued and all rights vested prior
to such transfer, including, without limitation, rights to indemnification under
this Participation Agreement or any other Operative Document.
(e) Arranger's Fee. Each transferring Participant shall pay to the
Arranger a transfer fee of $2,500.
SECTION 12.2. Covenants and Agreements of Participants.
(a) Participations. Each Participant covenants and agrees that it will
not grant participations in its Notes or Certificates to any Person (a
"Sub-Participant") unless such participation complies with Applicable Law and
does not require registration under any securities law applicable thereto and
such Sub-Participant (i) is a bank or other financial institution and (ii)
represents and warrants, in writing, to such Participant for the benefit of the
Participants, the Lessor and the Lessee that (A) no part of the funds used by it
to acquire an interest in any Participation Interest constitutes assets of any
"employee benefit plan" (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) which is subject
to Title I of ERISA, or "plan" (as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code)
and (B) such Sub-Participant is acquiring its interest for investment purposes
without a view to the distribution thereof. Any such Person shall require any
transferee of its interest in its Notes or Certificates to make the
representations and warranties set forth in the preceding sentence, in writing,
to such Person for its benefit and the benefit of the Participants, the Lessor,
the Indenture Trustee and Lessee. In the event of any such sale by a Participant
of a participating interest in its Notes or Certificates to a Sub-Participant,
such Participant's obligations under this Participation Agreement and under the
other Operative Documents shall remain unchanged, such Participant shall remain
solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Participant shall remain
the holder of its Notes or Certificates, for all purposes under this
Participation Agreement and under the other Operative Documents, and the Lessor,
the Indenture Trustee and, except as set forth in Section 12.2(b), the Lessee
shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Participant in connection
with such Participant's rights and obligations under this Participation
Agreement and under the other Operative Documents.
<PAGE> 59

the benefits of Sections 13.5, 13.6, and 13.7 and 13.10 with respect to its
participation in the Notes or Certificates outstanding from time to time;
provided that no Sub-Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount
pursuant to such Sections than the transferor Participant would have been
entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by
such transferor Participant to such Sub-Participant had no such transfer or
participation occurred.
SECTION 12.3. Future Participants. Each Participant shall be deemed to
be bound by and, upon compliance with the requirements of this Section 12, will
be entitled to all of the benefits of the provisions of, this Participation
Agreement.
SECTION 13.

be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee (whether because

Indemnitee shall also be indemnified as to any such Claim by any other Person
and whether or not such Claim arises or accrues prior to the Closing Date or

Participant shall be entitled to indemnification under this clause (d) if it
shall have been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have breached

under this clause (d) with respect to any Claim which a court of competent
jurisdiction determines to have arisen out of any misrepresentation of a
material fact made by the Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or such Participant,
unless the misrepresentation was made in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished to the Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or such Participant,
as applicable, by the Lessee;
(e) the breach by the Lessee of any covenant, representation or
warranty made by it or deemed made by it in any Operative Document or any
certificate required to be delivered by any Operative Document;

(g) the existence of any Lien on or with respect to the Property, the

<PAGE> 61
(i) the lease of the Ground Lease Interest and the purchase or

or related thereto;
provided, however, the Lessee shall not be required to indemnify (x) the Lessor
for any Claim to the extent arising from any misrepresentation by the Lessor
under Section 8.1 (e) or (l) or from the failure by the Lessor to comply with
Section 10.3 (a), or (y) any Indemnitee under this Section 13.1 for any of the
following: (1) any Claim to the extent resulting from the willful misconduct or
gross negligence of such Indemnitee (it being understood that the Lessee shall
be required to indemnify an Indemnitee even if the ordinary (but not gross)

Claim resulting from Lessor Liens which the Lessor is responsible for
discharging under the Operative Documents, (3) any Claim to the extent
attributable to acts or events occurring after the expiration of the Term or the

Taxes of the type(s) described in Section 13.5 and (5) any Claims of the type(s)
described in Sections 13.2 (only with respect to claims in respect of a decline

(1) The Lessee shall indemnify the Indemnitees as provided in
this Section 13.1 from and against any and all such

from any failure by the Lessee to comply with any of its
obligations under the Operative Documents (including its

which the Lessee is not obligated to indemnify such Lessor
Party pursuant to clause (z) (1) of Section 13.1, such claims
shall, if such Lessor Party shall so request by a written
notice to the Lessor, be capitalized pursuant to Section
3.9(f).
It is expressly understood and agreed that the indemnity provided for herein
shall survive the expiration or termination of and shall be separate and
independent from any remedy under the Lease or any other Operative Document.
Without limiting the express rights of any Indemnitee under this Section 13.1,
this Section 13.1 shall be construed as an indemnity only and not a guaranty of
residual value of the Property or as a guaranty of the Participation Interests.
<PAGE> 62
SECTION 13.2. End of Term Indemnity.
(a) If the Lessee elects the Remarketing Option and there would, after
giving effect to the proposed remarketing transactions, be a Shortfall Amount,
then prior to the Maturity Date and as a condition to the Lessee's right to
complete the remarketing of the Property pursuant to Section 22.1 of the Lease,
the Lessee shall cause to be delivered to the Lessor at least 30 days prior to
the Expiration Date, at the Lessee's sole cost and expense, an Appraisal in form
and substance satisfactory to the Lessor, the Indenture Trustee and the Required
Participants (the "End of the Term Report") which shall state the appraiser's
conclusions as to the reason for any decline in the Fair Market Sales Value of
the Property from that anticipated for such date in the Appraisal delivered on
the Closing Date.
(b) Prior to the Expiration Date, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor an
amount (not to exceed the Shortfall Amount) equal to the portion of the
Shortfall Amount that the End of the Term Report demonstrates was the result of
a decline in the Fair Market Sales Value of the Property due to:
(i) extraordinary wear and tear, excessive usage, failure to maintain,
to repair, to restore, to rebuild or to replace, failure to comply with
the Lease and all applicable laws, failure to use, workmanship, method
of installation or removal or maintenance, repair, rebuilding or
replacement (excepting in each case ordinary wear and tear);
(ii) any Modification made to, or any rebuilding of, the Property or
any part thereof by the Lessee without the consent of the Lessor; or
(iii) the existence of any Hazardous Activity, Hazardous Substance or
Environmental Violations; or
(iv) any restoration or rebuilding carried out by the Lessee or any
sublessee; or
(v) any condemnation of any portion of the Property pursuant to Article
XV of the Lease; or
(vi) any use of the Property or any part thereof by the Lessee or any
sublessee other than as a suburban office facility; or
(vii) any grant, release, dedication, transfer, annexation or amendment
made pursuant to Section 12.2 of the Lease; or
(viii) the failure of the Lessor to have a good and marketable
leasehold or fee estate in the Property, as required by the Operative
Documents, free and clear of all Liens (including Permitted Liens) and
exceptions to title, except (A) such Liens or exceptions to title that
existed on the Ground Lease Interest Acquisition
<PAGE> 63
Date and were disclosed in the policy of title insurance delivered
pursuant to Section 6.1; (B) Lessor Liens and (C) other Liens
specifically consented to by the Lessor.
SECTION 13.3. Environmental Indemnity. Without limitation of the other
provisions of this Section 13, the Lessee hereby agrees to indemnify, hold
harmless and defend each Indemnitee from and against any and all claims
(including without limitation third party claims for personal injury or real or
personal property damage), losses (including but not limited to any loss of
value of the Property), damages, liabilities, fines, penalties, charges,
administrative and judicial proceedings (including informal proceedings) and
orders, judgments, remedial action, requirements, enforcement actions of any
kind, and all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred in
connection therewith (including but not limited to reasonable and documented
attorneys' and/or paralegals' fees and expenses), including, but not limited to,
all costs incurred in connection with any investigation or monitoring of site
conditions or any clean-up, remedial, removal or restoration work by any
federal, state or local government agency, which such Indemnitee becomes subject
to because of its involvement with the Property, the transactions contemplated
by the Operative Documents or any other matter referred to in paragraphs (a)
through (i) of Section 13.1 arising in whole or in part, out of:
(a) the presence on or under the Property of any Hazardous Substances,
or any Releases or discharges of any Hazardous Substances on, under, from or
onto the Property;
(b) any activity, including, without limitation, construction, carried
on or undertaken on or off the Property, and whether by the Lessee, the Lessor,
the Ground Lessor or any predecessor in title or any employees, agents,
contractors or subcontractors of the Lessee, the Lessor, the Ground Lessor or
any predecessor in title, or any other Persons (including such Indemnitee), in
connection with the handling, treatment, removal, storage, decontamination,
cleanup, transport or disposal of any Hazardous Substances that at any time are
located or present on or under or that at any time migrate, flow, percolate,
diffuse or in any way move onto or under the Property;
(c) loss of or damage to any property or the environment (including,
without limitation, cleanup costs, response costs, remediation and removal
costs, cost of corrective action, costs of financial assurance, fines and
penalties and natural resource damages), or death or injury to any Person, and
all expenses associated with the protection of wildlife, aquatic species,
vegetation, flora and fauna, and any mitigative action required by or under
Environmental Laws;
(d) any claim concerning lack of compliance with Environmental Laws, or
any act or omission causing an environmental condition that requires remediation
or would allow any Governmental Authority to record a Lien on the land records;
(e) any residual contamination on or under the Property, or affecting
any natural resources, or any contamination of any property or natural resources
arising in
<PAGE> 64
connection with the generation, use, handling, storage, transport or disposal of
any such Hazardous Substances, and irrespective of whether any of such
activities were or will be undertaken in accordance with applicable
Environmental Laws; or
(f) any material inaccuracies, misrepresentations, misstatements, and
omissions and any conflicting information contained in or omitted from the
Environmental Audit;
provided, however, the Lessee shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnitee
under this Section 13.3 for (1) any Claim to the extent resulting from the
willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee (it being understood
that the Lessee shall be required to indemnify an Indemnitee even if the
ordinary (but not gross) negligence of such Indemnitee caused or contributed to
such Claim), (2) subject to the provisions Section 15.2 of the Lease, any Claim
to the extent attributable to acts or events occurring after the expiration of
the Term or the return or remarketing of the Property so long as the Lessor, the
Indenture Trustee and the Participants are not exercising remedies against the
Lessee in respect of the Operative Documents and no Default or Event of Default
under the Lease has occurred and is continuing, (3) any Imposition or other
claims for Taxes of the type(s) described in Section 13.5 or (4) any Claims of
the type(s) described in Sections 13.2 (only with respect to claims in respect
of a decline in the Fair Market Sales Value of the Property and the Lessee's
exercise of the Remarketing Option), 13.6, 13.7, 13.8 and 13.10. It is expressly
understood and agreed that the indemnity provided for herein shall survive the
expiration or termination of and shall be separate and independent from any
remedy under the Lease or any other Operative Document.
SECTION 13.4. Proceedings in Respect of Claims. With respect to any
amount that the Lessee is requested by an Indemnitee to pay by reason of Section
13.1 or 13.3, such Indemnitee shall, if so requested by the Lessee and prior to
any payment, submit such additional information to the Lessee as the Lessee may
reasonably request and which is in the possession of such Indemnitee to
substantiate properly the requested payment.
In case any action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against any
Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall notify the Lessee of the commencement thereof,
and if the Construction Period limitation on indemnification set forth in clause
(z) of the proviso to Section 13.1 does not apply, the Lessee shall be entitled,
at its expense, to participate in, and, to the extent that the Lessee desires
to, assume and control the defense thereof; provided, however, that the Lessee
shall have acknowledged in writing its obligation to fully indemnify such
Indemnitee in respect of such action, suit or proceeding, and the Lessee shall
keep such Indemnitee fully apprised of the status of such action, suit or
proceeding and shall provide such Indemnitee with all information with respect
to such action, suit or proceeding as such Indemnitee shall reasonably request,
and provided further, that the Lessee shall not be entitled to assume and
control the defense of any such action, suit or proceeding if and to the extent
that, (A) in the reasonable opinion of such Indemnitee, (x) such action, suit or
proceeding involves any possibility of imposition of criminal liability or any
risk of material civil liability on such Indemnitee or will involve
<PAGE> 65
a material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of, or the creation of any Lien
(other than a Permitted Lien) on the Property or any part thereof unless, in the
case of civil liability or Lien, the Lessee shall have posted a bond or other
security satisfactory to the relevant Indemnitee in respect to such risk or (y)
the control of such action, suit or proceeding would involve an actual or
potential conflict of interest, (B) such proceeding involves Claims not fully
indemnified by the Lessee which the Lessee and the Indemnitee have been unable
to sever from the indemnified claim(s), or (C) an Event of Default under the
Lease has occurred and is continuing. The Indemnitee may participate in a
reasonable manner at its own expense and with its own counsel in any proceeding
conducted by the Lessee in accordance with the foregoing. The Lessee shall not
enter into any settlement or other compromise with respect to any Claim which is
entitled to be indemnified under Section 13.1 or 13.3 without the prior written
consent of the Indemnitee which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld in
the case of a money settlement not involving an admission of liability of such
Indemnitee.
Each Indemnitee shall at the expense of the Lessee cooperate with and
supply the Lessee with such information and documents reasonably requested by
the Lessee as are necessary or advisable for the Lessee to participate in any
action, suit or proceeding to the extent permitted by Section 13.1 or 13.3.
Unless an Event of Default under the Lease shall have occurred and be
continuing, no Indemnitee shall enter into any settlement or other compromise
with respect to any Claim which is entitled to be indemnified under Section 13.1
or 13.3 without the prior written consent of the Lessee, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld, unless such Indemnitee waives its right to be
indemnified under Section 13.1 or 13.3 with respect to such Claim.
Upon payment in full of any Claim by the Lessee pursuant to Section
13.1 or 13.3 to or on behalf of an Indemnitee, the Lessee, without any further
action, shall be subrogated to any and all claims that such Indemnitee may have
relating thereto (other than claims in respect of insurance policies maintained
by such Indemnitee at its own expense), and such Indemnitee shall execute such
instruments of assignment and conveyance, evidence of claims and payment and
such other documents, instruments and agreements as may be necessary to preserve
any such claims and otherwise cooperate with the Lessee and give such further
assurances as are necessary or advisable to enable the Lessee vigorously to
pursue such claims.
Any amount payable to an Indemnitee pursuant to Section 13.1 or 13.3
shall be paid to such Indemnitee promptly upon receipt of a written demand
therefor from such Indemnitee, accompanied by a written statement describing in
reasonable detail the basis for such indemnity and the computation of the amount
so payable and, if requested by the Lessee, such determination shall be verified
by a nationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to
the Lessee and the Indemnitee at the expense of the Lessee.
SECTION 13.5. General Impositions Indemnity.
<PAGE> 66
(a) Indemnification. The Lessee shall pay and assume liability for, and
does hereby agree to indemnify, protect and defend the Property and all
Indemnitees, and hold them harmless against, all Impositions on an After Tax
Basis; provided, however, that the Lessee shall have no obligation to indemnify
any Indemnitee for any such Impositions under this Section 13.5 arising during
the Construction Period except as follows:
(1) The Lessee shall indemnify the Indemnitees as provided in
this Section 13.5 from and against any and all such
Impositions caused by or arising from any failure by the
Lessee to comply with any of its obligations under the
Operative Documents (including its insurance obligations), any
representation by the Lessee in any of the Operative Documents
not being true, any negligence or willful misconduct of the
Lessee, or any claim by any third-party against the Lessee (or
against any Indemnitee) based upon the alleged action or
inaction by the Lessee.
(2) If any Lessor Party incurs any such claims or expenses for
which the Lessee is not obligated to indemnify such Lessor
Party pursuant to Section 13.5(a), such liabilities, losses,
damages and expenses shall, if such Lessor Party shall so
request by a written notice to the Lessor, be capitalized
pursuant to Section 3.9(f).
(b) Payments. (i) Subject to the terms of Section 13.5(a) and (f), the
Lessee shall pay or cause to be paid all Impositions directly to the taxing
authorities where feasible and otherwise to the Indemnitee, as appropriate, and
the Lessee shall at its own expense, upon such Indemnitee's reasonable request,
furnish to such Indemnitee 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 13.5(f) and which the Lessee pays directly to the
taxing authorities, the Lessee 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 Lessee reimburses an
Indemnitee, the Lessee shall do so within twenty (20) days after
receipt by the Lessee of demand by such Indemnitee describing in
reasonable detail the nature of the Imposition and the basis for the
demand (including the computation of the amount payable), but in no
event shall the Lessee be required to pay such reimbursement prior to
thirty (30) days before the latest time permitted by the relevant
taxing authority for timely payment. In the case of Impositions for
which a contest is conducted pursuant to Section 13.5(f), the Lessee
shall pay such Impositions or reimburse such Indemnitee 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 13.5(f).
(iii) At the Lessee's request, the amount of any indemnification
payment by the Lessee pursuant to subsection (a) shall be
verified and certified by an independent public accounting
firm mutually acceptable to the Lessee and the Indemnitee. The
fees and expenses of such independent public
<PAGE> 67
accounting firm shall be paid by the Lessee unless such verification
shall result in an adjustment in the Lessee's favor of 5% or more of
the payment as computed by the Indemnitee, in which case such fee shall
be paid by the Indemnitee.
(c) Reports and Returns. (i) The Lessee 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 Lessee under or
arising out of subsection (a) and of which the Lessee has knowledge or should
have knowledge, the Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall notify the
relevant Indemnitee of such requirement and (except if such Indemnitee notifies
the Lessee that such Indemnitee intends to file such report or return) (A) to
the extent required or permitted by and consistent with Applicable Law, make and
file in its own 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 Indemnitee, advise such Indemnitee of such fact and prepare such return,
statement or report for filing by such Indemnitee or, where such return,
statement or report shall be required to reflect items in addition to any
obligations of the Lessee under or arising out of subsection (a), provide such
Indemnitee at the Lessee's expense with information sufficient to permit such
return, statement or report to be properly made with respect to any obligations
of the Lessee under or arising out of subsection (a). Such Indemnitee shall,
upon the Lessee's request and at the Lessee's expense, provide any data
maintained by such Indemnitee (and not otherwise available to or within the
control of the Lessee) with respect to the Property which the Lessee may
reasonably require to prepare any required tax returns or reports. Each
Indemnitee agrees to use its best efforts to send to the Lessee a copy of any
written request or other notice that the Indemnitee receives with respect to any
reports or returns required to be filed with respect to the Property or the
transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents, it being understood that
no Indemnitee shall have any liability for failure to provide such copies.
(d) Income Inclusions. If as a result of the payment or reimbursement
by the Lessee of any expenses of the Lessor or the payment of any Transaction
Expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the
Operative Documents, the Lessor or any Participant shall suffer a net increase
in any federal, state or local income tax liability, the Lessee shall indemnify
such Persons (without duplication of any indemnification required by subsection
(a)) on an After Tax Basis for the amount of such increase. The calculation of
any such net increase shall take into account any current or future tax savings
realized or reasonably expected to be realized by such person in respect
thereof, as well as any interest, penalties and additions to tax payable by the
Lessor, or any Participant or such Affiliate, in respect thereof.
(e) Withholding Taxes. As between the Lessee on one hand, and the
Lessor or the Indenture Trustee and any Participant on the other hand, the
Lessee shall be responsible for, and, subject to the provisions of Sections
13.5(g) and (h), the Lessee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Lessor, the
Indenture Trustee and the Participants (without duplication of any
indemnification required by subsection (a)) on an After Tax
<PAGE> 68
Basis against, any obligation for United States or foreign withholding taxes
imposed in respect of payments with respect to the Participation Interests or
with respect to Rent payments under the Lease or payments of the Asset
Termination Value or Purchase Option Price (and, if the Lessor, the Indenture
Trustee or any Participant receives a demand for such payment from any taxing
authority, the Lessee shall discharge such demand on behalf of the Lessor, the
Indenture Trustee or such Participant). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Lessee shall not be responsible for any payment of any withholding tax if the
Lessee is not liable under the Operative Documents for payment of the ultimate
tax.
(f) Contests of Impositions. (i) If a written claim is made against any
Indemnitee or if any proceeding shall be commenced against such Indemnitee
(including a written notice of such proceeding), for any Impositions, such
Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Lessee in writing and shall not take action
with respect to such claim or proceeding without the consent of the Lessee for
thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice by the Lessee; provided,
however, that, in the case of any such claim or proceeding, if action shall be
required by law or regulation to be taken prior to the end of such 30-day
period, such Indemnitee shall, in such notice to the Lessee, inform the Lessee
of such shorter period, and no action shall be taken with respect to such claim
or proceeding without the consent of the Lessee before 2 days before the end of
such shorter period; provided, further, that the failure of such Indemnitee to
give the notices referred to this sentence shall not diminish the Lessee's
obligation hereunder except to the extent such failure precludes the Lessee from
contesting all or part of such claim.
(ii) If, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice from the
Indemnitee (or such shorter period as the Indemnitee has notified the
Lessee is required by law or regulation for the Indemnitee to commence
such contest), the Lessee shall request in writing that such Indemnitee
contest such Imposition, the Indemnitee shall, at the expense of the
Lessee, in good faith conduct and control such contest (including,
without limitation, by pursuit of appeals) relating to the validity,
applicability or amount of such Impositions (provided, however, that
(A) if such contest involves a tax other than a tax on net income and
can be pursued independently from any other proceeding involving a tax
liability of such Indemnitee, the Indemnitee, at the Lessee's request,
shall allow the Lessee to conduct and control such contest and (B) in
the case of any contest, the Indemnitee may request the Lessee to
conduct and control such contest) by, in the sole discretion of the
Person conducting and controlling such contest, (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 Lessee from time to time.
(iii) The party controlling any contest shall consult in good faith
with the non-controlling party and shall keep the non-controlling party
reasonably informed as to the conduct of such contest; provided, that
all decisions ultimately shall be
<PAGE> 69
made in the sole discretion of the controlling party. The parties agree
that an Indemnitee may at any time decline to take further action with
respect to the contest of any Imposition and may settle such contest if
such Indemnitee shall waive its rights to any indemnity from the Lessee
that otherwise would be payable in respect of such claim (and any
future claim by any taxing authority, the contest of which is precluded
by reason of such resolution of such claim) and shall pay to the Lessee
any amount previously paid or advanced by the Lessee pursuant to this
Section 13.5 by way of indemnification or advance for the payment of an
Imposition other than expenses of such contest.
(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.5, an
Indemnitee shall not be required to take any action and the Lessee
shall not be permitted to contest any Impositions in its own name or
that of the Indemnitee unless (A) the Lessee shall have agreed such
Imposition is subject to indemnity hereunder and shall pay to such
Indemnitee on demand and on an After Tax Basis all reasonable costs,
losses and expenses that such Indemnitee actually incurs in connection
with contesting such Impositions, including, without limitation, all
reasonable legal, accounting and investigatory fees and disbursements,
(B) in the case of a claim that must be pursued in the name of an
Indemnitee (or an Affiliate thereof), the amount of the potential
indemnity (taking into account all similar or logically related claims
that have been or could be raised in any audit involving such
Indemnitee for which the Lessee may be liable to pay an indemnity under
this Section 13.5) exceeds $100,000, (C) the Indemnitee 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, (D) if such
contest shall involve the payment of the Imposition prior to the
contest, the Lessee shall provide to the Indemnitee an interest-free
advance in an amount equal to the Imposition that the Indemnitee is
required to pay (with no additional net after-tax cost to such
Indemnitee), (E) in the case of a claim that must be pursued in the
name of an Indemnitee (or an Affiliate thereof), the Lessee shall have
provided to such Indemnitee an opinion of independent tax counsel
selected by the Indemnitee and reasonably satisfactory to the Lessee
stating that a reasonable basis exists to contest such claim (or, in
the case of an appeal of an adverse determination, an opinion of such
counsel to the effect that there is substantial authority for the
position asserted in such appeal) and (F) no Event of Default hereunder
shall have occurred and be continuing. In no event shall an Indemnitee
be required to appeal an adverse judicial determination to the United
States Supreme Court. In addition, an Indemnitee 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 by a court of competent jurisdiction
pursuant to the contest provisions of this Section 13.5, unless there
shall have been a change in law (or interpretation thereof) and the
Indemnitee shall have received, at the Lessee's expense, an opinion of
independent tax counsel selected by the Indemnitee and reasonably
acceptable to
<PAGE> 70
the Lessee stating that as a result of such change in law (or
interpretation thereof), it is more likely than not that the Indemnitee
will prevail in such contest.
(g) Documentation of Withholding Status. Each Participant (or any
successor thereto or transferee thereof) that is organized under the laws of a
jurisdiction outside of the United States of America and each Lessor or
Indenture Trustee that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of
the United States of America shall:
(i) on or before the date it becomes a party to any Operative Document,
deliver to the Lessor and the Lessee any certificates, documents, or
other evidence that shall be required by the Code or Treasury
Regulations issued pursuant thereto to establish its exemption from
United States Federal withholding requirements, including (A) two
valid, duly completed, original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form
1001 or Form 4224 or successor applicable form, properly and duly
executed, certifying in each case that such party is entitled to
receive payments pursuant to the Operative Documents without deduction
or withholding of United States Federal income taxes, or (B) a valid,
duly completed, original copy of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or
Form W-9 or applicable successor form, properly and duly executed,
certifying that such party is entitled to an exemption from United
States of America backup withholding tax; and
(ii) so long as it shall be legally entitled to do so, on or before the
date that any such form described above expires or becomes obsolete, or
after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent
such form previously delivered to the Lessor and the Lessee, deliver to
the Lessee two further valid, duly completed, original copies of any
such form or certification, properly and duly executed.
(h) Limitation on Tax Indemnification. The Lessee shall not be required
to indemnify any Indemnitee, or to pay any increased amounts to any Indemnitee
or tax authority with respect to any Impositions pursuant to this Section 13.5
to the extent that such Imposition is attributable to such Indemnitee's failure
to comply with the provisions of Section 13.5(g) (and, in such case, the Lessee
may deduct and withhold all Taxes required by law as a result of such
noncompliance from payments made by the Lessee pursuant to the Operative
Documents).
(i) Tax Savings. In the event an Indemnitee receives a refund (or
similar tax savings) in respect of any Imposition paid or reimbursed by the
Lessee, such Indemnitee shall within thirty (30) days thereafter remit the
amount of such refund (or tax savings) to the Lessee, provided that the amount
so remitted shall not exceed the lesser of: (i) the amount received by such
Indemnitee as a refund (or tax savings) net of all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with obtaining and paying such amount;
and (ii) (a) the amount of all prior payments by the Lessee to such Indemnitee
with respect to Impositions, plus any refunded interest, less (b) the amount of
all prior payments by the Indemnitee to the Lessee under this Section 13.5(i).

SECTION 13.6. Funding Losses. If any payment of any Eurodollar Rate
Advance or any portion of any Loan or Certificate Purchaser Amount with respect
thereto is made on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period
applicable thereto, or if any payment of any Fixed Rate Advance or any portion
of any Loan or Certificate Purchaser Amount with respect thereto is made on any
day other than the last day of the Fixed Rate Period applicable thereto, or if
the Lessee fails to utilize the proceeds of any Loans or Certificate Purchaser
Amounts after notice has been given to the Lessor or any Participant in
accordance with Section 3 or 4, the Lessee shall reimburse the Lessor and each
Participant within fifteen (15) days after demand for any resulting loss,
expense, breakage costs or swap breakage costs incurred by it, including
(without limitation) any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing
deposits from third parties, provided that in the case of a Eurodollar Rate
Advance or a Fixed Rate Advance, such Participant or the Lessor shall have
delivered to the Lessee a certificate as to the amount of such loss, expense or
costs, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error,
and provided further that in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Advance, such loss
shall in no event exceed the interest or Certificate Yield on the Loans or
Certificate Purchaser Amounts funding such Advance which would have been payable
for the balance of such Interest Period, less the amount actually earned by the
Lessor or such Participant on such Loans or Certificate Purchaser Amounts.
SECTION 13.7. Regulation D Compensation. For so long as any Participant
or the Lessor is required to increase its existing reserve percentage against
"Eurocurrency Liabilities" (or any other category of liabilities which include
deposits by reference to which the interest rate or Certificate Yield rate on
its Loans or Certificate Purchaser Amounts or Advances is determined or any
category of extensions of credit or other assets which includes loans by a
non-United States office of such Participant to United States residents), and,
as a result, the cost to such Participant (or its Funding Office) or the Lessor
of making or maintaining its Loans or Certificate Purchaser Amounts with respect
to any Advance is increased, then such Participant or the Lessor may require the
Lessee to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest or Certificate
Yield on the Loans or Certificate Purchaser Amounts an additional amount at a
rate per annum up to but not exceeding the excess of (i) (A) the applicable
Eurodollar Rate divided by (B) one minus the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements
and (ii) the applicable Eurodollar Rate.
SECTION 13.8. Basis for Determining Interest Rate or Certificate Yield
Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest
Period:
(a) deposits in dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being
offered to the Indenture Trustee in the relevant market for such Interest Period
or any Participants shall advise the Indenture Trustee that the Eurodollar Rate
as determined by the Indenture Trustee will not adequately and fairly reflect
the cost to such Participant of funding its Loans or Certificate Purchaser
Amounts with respect to any Advance for such Interest Period; or
<PAGE> 72
(b) any Participant determines that, by reason of the adoption, on or
after the date of this Participation Agreement, of any applicable law, rule or
regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable
agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance
by any Participant (or its Funding Office) with any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or
governmental agency, it is restricted, directly or indirectly, in the amount it
may hold of (i) a category of liabilities that includes deposits by reference to
which, or on the basis of which, the interest rates or Certificate Yield rates
applicable to Advances based on the Eurodollar Rate are directly or indirectly
determined, or (ii) the category of assets which includes Advances based on the
Eurodollar Rate;
the Indenture Trustee shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Lessee and the
Participants, whereupon until the Indenture Trustee notifies the Lessee that the
circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, each outstanding
Loan and Certificate Purchaser Amount shall begin to bear interest at the
Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin on the last day of the then
current Interest Period applicable thereto.
SECTION 13.9. Illegality. If, on or after the date of this
Participation Agreement, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation,
or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration
thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged
with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any
Participant (or its Funding Office) with any request or directive (whether or
not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable
agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Participant (or its Funding
Office) to make, maintain or fund its Loans or Certificate Purchaser Amounts
with respect to any Advance and such Participant shall so notify the Indenture
Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other
Participants and the Lessee, whereupon until such Participant notifies the
Lessee and the Indenture Trustee that the circumstances giving rise to such
suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Participant to fund its Loans
or Certificate Purchaser Amounts with respect to any Advance shall be suspended.
If such notice is given, each outstanding Loan and Certificate Purchaser Amount
of such Participant then outstanding shall begin to bear interest at the
Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin either (a) on the last day of the
then current Interest Period applicable to such Advance if such Participant may
lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loan or Certificate Purchaser Amount
to such day or (b) immediately if such Participant shall determine that it may
not lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loan or Certificate Purchaser
Amount to such day.
SECTION 13.10.Increased Cost and Reduced Return. (a) In the event that
the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein or
in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority,
central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof or compliance by any Participant or the Lessor with any
request or directive after the date
<PAGE> 73
hereof (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority,
central bank or comparable agency:
(i) does or shall subject such Participant or the Lessor to
any additional tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to the
Operative Documents or any Loan or Certificate Purchaser
Amount or Advance made by it, or change the basis or the
applicable rate of taxation of payments to such Participant or
the Lessor of principal, Certificate Purchaser Amount,
Certificate Yield or any other amount payable hereunder
(except for the imposition of or change in any tax on or
measured by the overall net income of such Participant or the
Lessor (other than any such tax imposed by means of
withholding)); or
(ii) does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any
reserve, special deposit, insurance assessment, compulsory
loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or
deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of,
advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any
other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Participant
or the Lessor which are not otherwise included in
determination of the rate of interest or Certificate Yield
rate on Advances hereunder;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such
Participant of making or maintaining its Loan or Certificate Purchaser Amounts
or Advances or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder with respect thereto,
then in any such case, the Lessee shall promptly pay such Participant or the
Lessor, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such
Participant or the Lessor for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable
which such Participant or the Lessor deems to be material as determined by such
Participant or the Lessor; provided, however, that the Lessee shall have no
obligation to pay any additional amounts under this Section 13.10(a) on account
of any increased costs or reduced amounts arising during the Construction Period
except as follows:
(1) The Lessee shall pay any additional amounts under this
Section 13.10(a) on account of any increased costs or reduced
amounts caused by or arising from any failure by the Lessee to
comply with any of its obligation under the Operative
Documents (including its insurance obligations), any
representation by the Lessee in any of the Operative Documents
not being true, any negligence or willful misconduct of the
Lessee, or any claim by any third-party against the Lessee (or
against any Lessor Party) based upon the alleged action or
inaction by the Lessee.
(2) If any Lessor Party incurs any such increased costs or
reduced amounts for which the Lessee is not obligated to pay
additional amounts pursuant to clause (1) above, the amount of
such increased costs and reduced amounts shall, if such Lessor
Party shall so request by a written notice to the Lessor, be
capitalized pursuant to Section 3.9(f).
<PAGE> 74
(b) If any Participant or the Lessor shall have determined that, after
the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation
regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central
bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not
having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable
agency has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of
such Participant or the Lessor (or any entity directly or indirectly controlling
such Participant or the Lessor) as a consequence of such Participant's or the
Lessor's obligations under the Operative Documents to a level below that which
such Participant or the Lessor (or any entity directly or indirectly controlling
such Participant or the Lessor) could have achieved but for such adoption,
change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with
respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Participant or the
Lessor to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by
such Participant or the Lessor (with a copy to the Indenture Trustee), the
Lessee shall pay to such Participant or the Lessor such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Participant or the Lessor (or its parent) for
such reduction.
SECTION 13.11.Notice and Mitigation. Each demand for payment of
Supplemental Rent pursuant to Sections 13.6, 13.7, 13.9 or 13.10 must be
accompanied by a certificate of the Person claiming compensation (an "Affected
Person") setting forth in reasonable detail the computation of such compensation
(including the reasons therefor), which certificate shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes absent manifest error. Prior to demand by an Affected
Person for Supplemental Rent pursuant to Sections 13.6 (other than a demand
relating to Fixed Rate Advances), 13.7, 13.9 or 13.10, such Affected Person
agrees that it will use its reasonable efforts to reduce and eliminate any claim
for compensation including, subject to Applicable Law, a change in applicable
lending office for this transaction; provided, however, that nothing herein
shall obligate an Affected Person to take any action which, in the opinion of
such Affected Person, is unlawful, or results in any unreimbursed costs or
expenses to such Affected Person, which costs or expenses would not have been
incurred but for such action. No Affected Person shall be entitled to any
compensation under this Section 13.11 with respect to Sections 13.6 (other than
a demand relating to Fixed Rate Advances), 13.7, 13.9 or 13.10 unless at the
time it requests such compensation it is the policy or general practice of such
Affected Person to demand compensation for comparable costs in similar
circumstances under comparable provisions of documents to which it is a party.
SECTION 13.12.Substitution of Participant. If (i) the obligation of any
Participant to make Loans or fund Certificate Purchaser Amounts has been
suspended pursuant to this Section 13, or (ii) any Participant has demanded
compensation or given notice of its intention to demand compensation under
Section 13.11 with respect to Sections 13.6 (other than a demand relating to
Fixed Rate Advances), 13.7, 13.8, 13.9 or 13.10, the Lessee shall have the
right, with the assistance of the Indenture Trustee, to seek one or more
mutually satisfactory substitute banks or financial institutions (which may be
one or more of the Participants) to replace such Participant under the Operative
Documents.
<PAGE> 75
SECTION 13.13.Indemnity Payments in Addition to Residual Value
Guarantee Amount. The Lessee acknowledges and agrees that its obligations to
make indemnity payments under this Section 13 are separate from, in addition to,
and do not reduce, its obligation to pay the Residual Value Guarantee Amount
under the Lease; provided, that except as otherwise set forth in Section 13.2
hereof, the Shortfall Amount payable by the Lessee in connection with the
Remarketing Option under the Lease shall not be increased under this Section 13.
SECTION 13.14.Limitations on Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other
provisions of Sections 13.1, 13.5 or 13.10 (the "Indemnification Sections") to
the contrary, during the Construction Period, the Lessee (i) shall only be
obligated to indemnify the Lessor (and not any other Indemnitee, except to the
extent any Claims of such Indemnitee, Impositions against such Indemnitee, or
losses, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by such Indemnitee arise solely
from a Fully Indemnifiable Event) for any Claims of the Lessor under Section
13.1, Impositions against the Lessor under Section 13.5, or losses, costs or
expenses suffered or incurred by the Lessor under Section 13.10 (collectively
"Lessor Losses") provided, that such Lessor Losses shall include costs and
expenses of the Lessor under Section 13.15 and (ii) shall have no right to
contest any matter covered under Section 13.1, 13.5 or 13.10, notwithstanding
the language of Section 13.1, 13.5 or 13.10, if such matter is not fully
indemnifiable by the Lessee because of the operation of Section 13.14 or because
such matter is not indemnifiable due to the exclusions set forth in Section 13.1
(z), 13.5 (a) or 13.10(a).
SECTION 13.15.Lessor Indemnification.
(a) Indemnified Losses. During the Construction Period, the Lessor
shall pay, indemnify, protect, defend, save and keep harmless each Indemnitee
(other than the Lessor, its Affiliates, successors, assigns, directors,
shareholders, partners, officers, employees and agents) (an "Indemnified Party")
on an After Tax Basis from and against any Losses (as hereinafter defined)
arising from Covered Matters (as hereinafter defined), subject to the
limitations set forth in this Section 13.15.
(b) Definitions. For purposes of this Section 13.15, the following
terms shall have the meanings set forth below:
"Covered Matters" means each of the matters set forth in the
Indemnification Sections.
"Losses" means each of the Claims, Impositions, losses, costs or
expenses indemnified against pursuant to any of the Indemnification Sections.
(c) No Indemnification for Certain Matters. The Lessor shall not be
required to indemnify or hold harmless any Indemnified Party hereunder against
any matter referred to in clause (a) of this Section (i) to the extent arising
solely as a result of any Fully Indemnifiable Event or (ii) to the extent of the
exceptions or exclusions from indemnification contained in any of the
Indemnification Sections.
<PAGE> 76
(d) Limitations on Indemnification by Lessor. The Lessor's obligation
to indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnified Party under this Section:
(i) is not an individual or personal obligation of the Lessor
or the Bank, but solely its obligation as Owner Trustee, and nothing
herein shall be construed as creating any liability on the Bank,
individually or personally, to pay, indemnify or hold harmless any
Indemnified Party under this Section;
(ii) is not an obligation binding on the Trust Estate created
by the Trust Agreement except to the extent of any payments received by
the Lessor pursuant to the Indemnification Sections;
(iii) shall be paid and discharged solely and exclusively from
amounts received by the Lessor pursuant to the Indemnification
Sections, and it is expressly agreed by each Indemnified Party that the
sole recourse of each such Person for payment or discharge of the
indemnification obligations created under this Section shall be to such
amounts paid by the Lessee or the Guarantor pursuant to the
Indemnification Sections;
(iv) is the sole and exclusive right of each Indemnified Party
against the Lessor, and any right to proceed against the Lessor
individually or otherwise under common law, federal or state securities
laws or otherwise for indemnification or contribution in connection
with the matters covered by this Section, is hereby expressly waived by
each Indemnified Party (other than claims that may be made against the
Lessor or the Bank, individually or personally, for fraud, gross
negligence or willful misconduct).
Nothing in this Section is intended as or should be construed as a limitation on
the right of any Indemnified Party to make indemnification, contribution or
other claims of any kind against the Lessee or the Guarantor, to the extent that
such claims otherwise may be made, with respect to any matter, including
indemnification for Losses of the type referred to in this Section.
(d) Repayment to the Lessor. To the extent that any payments made
pursuant to the Indemnification Sections are subsequently invalidated, declared
to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid by the
Lessor to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver or other Person under any
Bankruptcy Law, common law or equitable cause, then to such extent, the
Indemnified Parties who received any such payments from the Lessor (or any
portion thereof) shall repay any such amounts to the Lessor, or as may otherwise
be directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(f) Survival, Reinstatement. The indemnification obligations of the
Lessor under this Section shall survive and be reinstated to the same extent,
for the same period and in the same manner as the indemnification obligations of
the Lessee under the Indemnification Sections.
<PAGE> 77
(g) Indemnification Procedures. The right of any Indemnified Party to
seek indemnification from the Lessor under this Section is subject to and
conditioned upon compliance by any such Indemnified Party with the notice,
cooperation, appointment of counsel, contest rights and other provisions in the
Indemnification Sections as fully as if such Sections were set forth herein,
except (i) that any reference in the Indemnification Sections to the Lessee
shall be deemed to be a reference to the Lessor or, if the Lessor so directs in
any case, the Lessor and/or the Lessee for purposes of this Section and (ii) the
limitation in the Indemnification Sections on the number of counsel that may be
engaged to represent Indemnified Parties shall be deemed to be a reference to
the same number of counsel acting on behalf of Indemnified Parties rather than
Indemnitees under the Indemnification Sections, to the extent such costs are
recoverable pursuant to the Indemnification Sections.
SECTION 14.
THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE
Each Certificate Holder hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the
Indenture Trustee as the agent of such Participant under this Agreement, the
