2.1 Appointment.

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Lessor hereby irrevocably designates and appoints, except as expressly provided herein or in the other Operative Agreements, the Construction Agent as its exclusive agent and the Construction Agent accepts such appointment, in connection with the identification and acquisition of the Property (provided, the interest of the Lessor in certain of the real estate comprising a part of the Property shall be a ground leasehold interest pursuant to the Ground Lease) and the development, acquisition, installation, construction and testing of the Improvements, the Equipment and the other components of the Property on the Land in accordance with the Construction Documents, and pursuant to the terms of the Operative Agreements.

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

2.3 Term.

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

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


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

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


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

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

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

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


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

ARTICLE III
THE PROPERTY

3.1 Construction.

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

3.2 Amendments; Modifications.

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

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


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

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

3.3 Insufficient Lender Commitments and Lessor Commitments.

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


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


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


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

3.4 Grant of Security Interest.

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

and/or the Lessee now existing or hereafter arising under the Operative Agreements, (i) this Agreement shall be a security agreement and financing statement within the meaning of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code respecting the Property and all proceeds (including without limitation Casualty and Condemnation proceeds, proceeds from any insurance required by the Insurance Requirements and all other proceeds thereof) to the extent such is personal property and an irrevocable grant and conveyance of a lien, deed of trust and mortgage on the Property and all proceeds (including without limitation Casualty and Condemnation proceeds, proceeds from any insurance required by the Insurance Requirements and all other proceeds thereof) to the extent such is real property; (ii) the Lessor’s acquisition of a leasehold interest pursuant to the Ground Lease in the portion of the Property subject thereto and the Lessor’s acquisition of its interest in the Appurtenant Rights constitutes a grant by the Construction Agent to the Lessor of a security interest, lien, deed of trust and mortgage in all of the Construction Agent’s right, title and interest in and to the Property and all proceeds (including without limitation Casualty and Condemnation proceeds, proceeds from any insurance required by the Insurance Requirements and all other proceeds thereof) 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, and an assignment of all rents, profits and income produced by the Property; and (iii) notifications to Persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from financial intermediaries, bankers or agents (as applicable) of the Construction Agent shall be deemed to have been given for the purpose of perfecting such lien, security interest, mortgage lien and deed of trust under applicable law. The Construction Agent shall promptly take such actions as necessary (including without limitation the filing of Primary Financing Party Financing Statements and the various other filings reasonably requested by the Lessor) to ensure that the lien, security interest, mortgage lien and deed of trust in the Property and the other items referenced above will be deemed to be a perfected lien, security interest, mortgage lien and deed of trust of first priority (subject only to Permitted Liens and Lessor Liens) under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement.

3.5 Insurance.

(a) Insurance By the Construction Agent: The Construction Agent shall maintain or cause others to maintain regarding the Property in full force and effect at all times during the Construction Period, insurance policies with (i) responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in Maryland (if so required by law or regulation) with (A) an A.M. Best’s Key Rating Guide rating of A+ or better and an financial size category of XI or higher, unless otherwise approved by the Lessor and the Agent and (B) and an S&P or Moody’s financial strength rating of A or A2, respectively, or higher, unless otherwise approved by the Lessor and the Agent, or (ii) other companies acceptable to the Lessor and the Agent, in all cases with regard to subsection (i) or (ii) above with limits and coverage provisions sufficient to satisfy the requirements set forth below. In addition, the Construction Agent shall from time to time, but at intervals of not less than twelve (12) months each, undertake all actions and due diligence as reasonably necessary to determine whether the insurance coverage maintained by the Construction Agent pursuant to this Agreement is in compliance with all of the requirements of this Agreement, including any increases in coverage required as a result of any change in any


	applicable Laws, and if the Construction Agent determines that such insurance coverage does not meet such requirements, it agrees to promptly cause such coverage to comply with such requirements and to notify the Lessor and the Agent of the steps being taken by the Construction Agent to do so.

(1) General Liability Insurance: Liability insurance on an occurrence basis against claims filed anywhere in the world and occurring in the United States for the Construction Agent’s, each contractor’s and each subcontractor’s of any tier liability arising out of claims for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage. Such insurance shall provide coverage for products-completed operations (which coverage shall remain in effect for a period of at least five (5) years following the Construction Period Termination Date), blanket contractual, broad form property damage, personal injury insurance and independent contractors with a $1,000,000 minimum limit per occurrence for combined bodily injury and property damage provided that policy aggregates, if any, shall apply separately to claims occurring with respect to the Improvements. A maximum deductible or self-insured retention of $250,000 per occurrence shall be allowed.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 3.6 and prior to the occurrence and continuation of an Agency Agreement Default or an Agency Agreement Event of Default, the Construction Agent shall, prior to the Commencement Date for the Property, be entitled to receive (and the Lessor hereby irrevocably assigns to the Construction Agent all of the right, title and interest of the Lessor in) any condemnation proceeds, award, compensation or insurance proceeds under Sections 3.5(b) or 3.5(c) to which the Construction Agent or the Lessor may become entitled by reason of their respective interests in the Property, (i) if all or a portion of the Property is damaged or destroyed in whole or in part by a Casualty or (ii) if the use, access, occupancy, easement rights or title to the Property or any part thereof is the subject of a Condemnation; provided, however, if an Agency Agreement Default or Agency Agreement Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or if such award, compensation or insurance proceeds shall exceed $1,000,000, then such award, compensation or insurance proceeds (including without limitation any Excess Proceeds) shall be paid directly to the Lessor or, if received by the Construction Agent, shall be held in trust for the Lessor, and shall be paid over by the Construction Agent to the Lessor and held in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.6. All amounts held by the Lessor hereunder on account of any award, compensation or insurance proceeds either paid directly to the Lessor or turned over to the Lessor shall be held as security for the performance of the Construction Agent’s obligations hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements and (X) to the extent no

Agency Agreement Default or Agency Agreement Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at such time, the Lessor shall pay such amounts so held by the Lessor to the Construction Agent to reimburse the Construction Agent for the costs it incurs to restore and repair the Property pursuant to Section 3.6(c); (provided, prior to such reimbursement, the Construction Agent must give the Lessor reasonable evidence of such restoration and repair work) with any excess amounts held by the Lessor hereunder after completion of such restoration or repair to be paid to the Construction Agent or (Y) to the extent an Agency Agreement Default or an Agency Agreement Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at such time, all amounts so held by the Construction Agent shall be paid over to the Lessor until all such obligations of the Construction Agent with respect to such matters (and all other obligations of the Construction Agent which should have been satisfied pursuant to the Operative Agreements as of such date have been satisfied and no Agency Agreement Default or Agency Agreement Event of Default is then continuing).


	(b) The Lessor and the Construction Agent agree that this Agreement shall control the rights of the Lessor and the Construction Agent in and to any award, compensation or insurance payment on account of any Casualty or Condemnation.

(c) Subject to Section 3.6(d), if the Construction Agent shall receive notice or otherwise have Actual Knowledge of a Casualty, Condemnation or Force Majeure Event prior to the Commencement Date, the Construction Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lessor promptly after the Construction Agent’s receipt of such notice or gaining such Actual Knowledge. In the event such a Casualty, Condemnation or Force Majeure Event occurs (regardless of whether the Construction Agent gives notice or has Actual Knowledge thereof), then the Construction Agent shall (subject to reimbursement in accordance with Section 3.6(a) and subject to reimbursement in accordance with the procedures for obtaining Advances set forth in the Operative Agreements), promptly and diligently repair any damages to the Property in accordance with Section 3.6(a) and otherwise in conformity with the Plans and Specifications and in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements, so as to restore the Property to the same or a greater remaining economic value, useful life, utility, condition, operation and function as existed immediately prior to such Casualty, Condemnation or Force Majeure Event (assuming all construction requirements pursuant to the Operative Agreements and the applicable construction contracts have been satisfied) and on or before the Construction Period Termination Date. In such event, the Lessor shall retain its leasehold interest pursuant to the Ground Lease regarding the Property, its interest in the Appurtenant Rights and its ownership of such portion of the Property not subject to the Ground Lease or the Appurtenant Rights.

(d) If the Construction Agent reasonably determines that a Force Majeure Event will cause Completion of the Property to occur later than the Construction Period Termination Date, the Construction Agent may request that the Construction Period Termination Date be extended by the Lessor for the period (not to exceed ninety (90) days following the original Construction Period Termination Date) reasonably necessary to achieve Completion of the Property in light of the event or circumstances giving rise to

such Force Majeure Event. Any such request shall be in writing delivered to the Lessor and the Agent and shall contain a certification by the Construction Agent with respect to the Property (1) describing the facts and circumstances giving rise to such Force Majeure Event, the expected duration of such delay resulting in such Force Majeure Event, and the date the Construction Agent reasonably believes Completion will be achieved, (2) that the remaining Available Commitments, together with insurance proceeds paid and Other Available Amounts received, if any, with respect to such Force Majeure Event, are adequate to achieve Completion and rebuild or restore any portion of the Property not constituting part of the Improvements within such extension period in accordance with the applicable Construction Materials and Construction Contracts (including the Capitalized Costs accruing during such extension period), (3) that the occurrence of such Force Majeure Event and the construction repairs or restoration to occur following such date will not materially affect the appraised value of the Property set forth in the Appraisal delivered pursuant to the Participation Agreement, (4) that there are proceeds from Other Available Amounts which are sufficient to remediate all Force Majeure Losses arising from Force Majeure Events and that the Construction Agent will cause such Other Available Amounts to be applied to remediate such losses, and (5) the Construction Agent shall have caused any necessary Construction Changes to be made as necessary to effectuate such extension; provided, the Property shall in all events shall be a Permitted Facility. The Construction Agent shall also supply to the Lessor and the Agent such other information as each such Person may reasonably request. The consent of the Lessor under this Section 3.6(d) shall not be withheld or delayed if the determination is made that the request meets the requirements set forth herein in all material respects.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein without increasing any obligation of the Construction Agent hereunder, should a Casualty, Condemnation or Force Majeure Event with respect to the Property occur during the Construction Period, the Construction Agent shall have no recourse liability to fund any shortfall in the available insurance proceeds and/or Condemnation proceeds required to repair and restore the Property and to cause Completion of the Property unless such shortfall arose as a result of or was otherwise caused by a Construction Agent Related Event, a Full Recourse Event of Default, any Environmental Violation or any other environmental matter giving rise to an indemnity claim pursuant to the Operative Agreements in which case, unless the Construction Agent purchases the Property for the Termination Value, the Construction Agent shall be liable for such shortfall. “Construction Agent Related Event” shall mean any act or omission of the Construction Agent or any other Construction Agency Person, including without limitation any breach by any such Person under any Operative Agreement (including the insurance provisions of this Agreement) or by any such Person under any Construction Contract.

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

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

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

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

(f) The Construction Agent shall cause to be delivered to the Lessor one (1) or more additional Appraisals (or reappraisals or updates of prior Appraisals of the Property) as the Lessor may request if and to the extent any of the Agent or any Primary Financing Party is required pursuant to any applicable Legal Requirement to obtain such Appraisals (or reappraisals or updates of prior Appraisals) and upon the occurrence of any Agency Agreement Event of Default.

5.2 Damages.

The termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.1 shall in no event relieve the Construction Agent of its liability and obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive any such termination.

5.3 Remedies; Remedies Cumulative.


	(a) If an Agency Agreement Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lessor shall have all rights available to the Lessor herein and under the other Operative Agreements and all other rights otherwise available at law, equity or otherwise; provided, however, such rights of the Lessor and the other remedies set forth in this Section 5.3 shall be subject to Section 5.4.

(b) Upon the occurrence of an Agency Agreement Event of Default, the Lessor shall have (in addition to its rights otherwise described in this Agreement or existing at law, equity or otherwise) the option (and shall be deemed automatically, and without any further action, to have exercised such option upon the occurrence of any Insolvency Event) to transfer and convey to the Construction Agent upon a date designated by the Lessor all right, title and interest of the Lessor in and to the Property after the Lessor receives payment of the amount specified in subparagraph (iii) of this Section 5.3(b) (including without limitation any Land and/or any Improvements, any interest in any Improvements, any Equipment and the Property then under construction). On any transfer and conveyance date specified by the Lessor pursuant to this Section 5.3(b), (i) the Lessor shall transfer and convey (at the cost of the Construction Agent) all right, title and interest of the Lessor in and to the Property free and clear of the Lien of the Lease, this Agreement, the other Operative Agreements and all Lessor Liens, (ii) the Construction Agent hereby covenants and agrees that it will accept such transfer and conveyance of right, title and interest in and to the Property and (iii) the Construction Agent hereby promises to pay to the Lessor, as liquidated damages (it being agreed that it would be impossible accurately to determine actual damages), an aggregate amount equal to the Termination Value of the Property. The Construction Agent specifically acknowledges and agrees that its obligations under this Section 5.3(b), including without limitation its obligations to accept the transfer and conveyance of the Property and its payment obligations described in subparagraph (iii) of this Section 5.3(b), shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and shall be performed and/or paid, as the case may be, without notice or demand and without any abatement, reduction, diminution, setoff, defense, counterclaim or recoupment whatsoever.


	Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3(b), the Lessor shall have the right in its sole discretion to rescind any exercise of its option under this Section 5.3(b) upon the giving of its written confirmation of such rescission to the Construction Agent.


	(c) Except to the extent the Lessor has previously transferred the Property pursuant to the exercise of remedies or otherwise, the Construction Agent shall have the right to cure an Agency Agreement Default or Agency Agreement Event of Default hereunder with respect to the Property by purchasing or causing the Construction Agent to purchase the Property from the Lessor for an amount equal to the liquidated damages amount set forth in Section 5.3(b).

	(d) With respect to any Agency Agreement Event of Default, none of (a) the termination of this Agreement as to the Property pursuant to Section 5.1; (b) the repossession of the Property; or (c) the failure of the Lessor to complete or relet the Property, the Completion or reletting of all or any portion thereof, or the failure of the Lessor to collect or receive any rentals due upon any such reletting, shall relieve the Construction Agent of its liabilities and obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive any such Final Completion, termination, repossession or reletting.

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

	(f) If an Agency Agreement Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and whether or not this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 5.1, the Construction Agent shall pay directly to any third party (or at the Lessor’s election, reimburse the Lessor) for the cost of any environmental testing (provided, if there is no recognized Environment Violation, recourse to the Construction Agent shall be limited as set forth in Section 5.4) and/or remediation work undertaken respecting the Property, as such testing or work is deemed appropriate in the reasonable judgment of the Lessor, and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Lessor and each other Indemnified Person therefrom. The Construction Agent shall pay all amounts referenced in the immediately preceding sentence within ten (10) days of any request by the Lessor for such payment. The provisions of this Section 5.3(f) shall not limit the obligations of the Construction Agent under any Operative Agreement regarding indemnification obligations, environmental testing, remediation and/or work.

	(g) If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 5.1, the Construction Agent waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, (i) any notice of re-entry or the institution of legal proceedings to obtain re-entry or possession; (ii) any right of redemption, re-entry or possession; (iii) the benefit of any laws now or hereafter in force exempting property from liability for rent or for debt; and (iv) any other rights,


	which might otherwise limit or modify any of the Lessor’s rights or remedies under this Section 5.3.

(h) If an Agency Agreement Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and whether or not this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 5.1, the Construction Agent shall upon the Lessor’s demand immediately assign, transfer and set over to the Lessor all of the Construction Agent’s right, title and interest in and to each agreement executed by the Construction Agent in connection with the acquisition, installation, testing, use, development, construction, operation, maintenance, repair, refurbishment and restoration of the Property (including without limitation all right, title and interest of the Construction Agent with respect to all warranty, performance, service and indemnity provisions and each Construction Document), as and to the extent that the same relate to the acquisition, installation, testing, use, development, construction, operation, maintenance, repair, refurbishment and restoration of the Property or any portion of them.

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


	(j) The remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and in addition to (and not in limitation of) any other remedies available at law, equity or otherwise, including without limitation any mortgage foreclosure remedies.

5.4 Limitation on Recourse.

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

aforesaid, the Lessor’s right of recovery from the Property (as opposed to any recovery from the Construction Agent) is not so limited and the Lessor shall be entitled to recover 100% of the amounts owed to the Lessor in accordance with the Operative Agreements from its interest in the Property.

5.5 Determination of Whether Budget is “In Balance”.

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

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

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


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