If the Property is the subject of a Major Casualty/Condemnation that occurs after the Effective Date, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller no later than the date (the “ Casualty Notice Date ”) that is the earlier of (a) December 28, 2017 or (b) five (5) Business Days after Seller notifies Buyer of such Major Casualty/Condemnation; provided that the commencement of the Closing Period shall be extended (but not beyond December 27, 2017), if necessary, to provide sufficient time for Buyer and Seller to close. The failure by Buyer to terminate this Agreement by the Casualty Notice Date shall be deemed an election not to terminate this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 10.1 , and, thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement. For the purposes of this Agreement, “ Major Casualty/Condemnation ” shall mean (i) any casualty, condemnation proceedings, or eminent domain proceedings if the portion of the Property that is the subject of such casualty or such condemnation or eminent domain proceedings has a value in excess of seven and one half percent (7.5%) of the Purchase Price, as reasonably determined by a third party contractor or architect selected by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Buyer, or (ii) any uninsured casualty which Seller does not agree (as set forth as a written modification of the Net Lease reasonably acceptable to Seller and Buyer executed and delivered on the Closing Date and guaranteed pursuant to the Net Lease Guaranty), in its sole and absolute discretion, to repair or restore in a manner acceptable to Buyer.

SECTION 10.2     Allocation of Proceeds and Awards . If, after the Effective Date, any portion of the Property is taken by condemnation or eminent domain (or is the subject of a pending taking), or any portion of the Property is damaged or destroyed and this Agreement is not terminated as permitted pursuant to the terms of Section 10.1 , then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and the parties hereto shall consummate the Closing upon the terms set forth herein.

30




Seller’s insurance company, as the case may be (the “ Casualty/Condemnation Proceeds ”) shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the Lease as if the Lease were in effect as of the date that such Casualty/Condemnation Proceeds are made available, and any claims in respect to any such awards or proceeds and the related insurance policies shall be assigned to New Property Owner in accordance with the terms of the Lease as if the Lease were in effect as of the date that such Casualty/Condemnation Proceeds are made available, and in all events the Purchase Price shall not be adjusted as a result of any such casualty or condemnation; provided, that nothing in this paragraph is intended to vitiate Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Section 10.1 in connection with a Major Casualty/Condemnation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event a Major Casualty/Condemnation shall have occurred prior to the closing and the parties elect to close in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then the parties will have their respective rights and obligations with respect to such Major Casualty/Condemnation (and any Casualty/Condemnation Proceeds) that they would have under the terms of the Lease as if the Lease were in effect as of the date that such Major Casualty/Condemnation occurred.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Original Lease is hereby amended and restated in its entirety and the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1
DEMISE; TERM

1.1     Leased Property . Upon and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Landlord demises and leases to Tenant and Tenant accepts and leases from Landlord all of Landlord’s rights and interest in and to the following (collectively, the “ Leased Property ”):

(a) the real property described in Exhibit B attached hereto, together with any ownership interests in adjoining roadways, alleyways, strips, gores and the like appurtenant thereto (collectively, the “ Land ”);

(b) all buildings, structures, Fixtures and improvements of every kind now or hereafter located on the Land or the improvements located thereon or permanently affixed to the Land or the improvements located thereon, including, but not limited to, alleyways and connecting tunnels, sidewalks, utility pipes, conduits and lines appurtenant to such buildings and structures (collectively, the “ Leased Improvements ”), provided, however, that the foregoing shall not affect or contradict the provisions of this Lease which specify that Tenant shall be entitled to certain rights with respect to or benefits of the Tenant Capital Improvements as expressly set forth herein; and

(c) all easements, development rights and other rights appurtenant to the Land or the Leased Improvements. The Leased Property is leased subject to all covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements and other matters of any nature affecting the Leased Property or any portion thereof as of the Commencement Date and such subsequent covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements and other matters as may hereafter arise in accordance with the terms of this Lease or as may otherwise be agreed to in writing

    




by Landlord and Tenant, whether or not of record, including any matters which would be disclosed by an inspection or accurate survey of the Leased Property or any portion thereof.

Except as more specifically provided in the following paragraph, to the extent Landlord’s ownership of any Leased Property or any portion thereof (including any improvement (including any Capital Improvement) or other property) that does not constitute “real property” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.856-3(d), which would otherwise be owned by Landlord and leased to Tenant pursuant to this Lease, could cause Landlord REIT to fail to qualify as a “real estate investment trust” (within the meaning of Section 856(a) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto), then a portion of such property shall automatically instead be owned by PropCo TRS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which is a “taxable REIT subsidiary” (within the meaning of Section 856(l) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto) of Landlord REIT (the “ Propco TRS ”), to the extent necessary such that Landlord’s ownership of such Leased Property does not cause Landlord REIT to fail to qualify as a real estate investment trust, provided, there shall be no adjustment in the Rent as a result of the foregoing. In such event, Landlord shall cause the Propco TRS to make such property available to Tenant in accordance with the terms hereof; however, Landlord shall remain fully liable for all obligations of Landlord under this Lease and shall retain sole decision-making authority for any matters for which Landlord’s consent or approval is required or permitted to be given and for which Landlord’s discretion may be exercised under this Lease.
1.2     Single, Indivisible Lease . This Lease constitutes one indivisible lease of the Leased Property and not separate leases governed by similar terms. The Leased Property constitutes one economic unit, and the Rent and all other provisions have been negotiated and agreed upon based on a demise of all of the Leased Property to Tenant as a single, composite, inseparable transaction and would have been substantially different had separate leases or a divisible lease been intended. Except as expressly provided in this Lease for specific, isolated purposes (and then only to the extent expressly otherwise stated), all provisions of this Lease apply equally and uniformly to all components of the Leased Property collectively as one unit. The Parties intend that the provisions of this Lease shall at all times be construed, interpreted and applied so as to carry out their mutual objective to create an indivisible lease of all of the Leased Property and, in particular but without limitation, that, for purposes of any assumption, rejection or assignment of this Lease under 11 U.S.C. Section 365, or any successor or replacement thereof or any analogous state law, this is one indivisible and non-severable lease and executory contract dealing with one legal and economic unit and that this Lease must be assumed, rejected or assigned as a whole with respect to all (and only as to all) of the Leased Property. The Parties may elect to amend this Lease from time to time to modify the boundaries of the Land, to exclude one or more components or portions thereof, and/or to include one or more additional components as part of the Leased Property, and any such future addition to the Leased Property shall not in any way change the indivisible and nonseverable nature of this Lease and all of the foregoing provisions shall continue to apply in full force.
    
1.3    Term . The “ Term ” of this Lease shall commence on the Commencement Date and expire on the Expiration Date (i.e., the Term shall consist of the Initial Term plus all Renewal Terms, to the extent exercised as set forth in Section 1.4 below, subject to any earlier termination of the Term pursuant to the terms hereof). The initial stated term of this Lease (the “ Initial Term ”) shall commence on December [  ], 2017 (the “ Commencement Date ”) and expire on December 31, 2032 (the “ Initial Stated Expiration Date ”). The “ Stated Expiration Date ” means the Initial Stated Expiration Date or the expiration date of the most recently exercised Renewal Term, as the case may be.

1.4    Renewal Terms . The Term of this Lease may be extended for four (4) separate “ Renewal Terms ” of five (5) years each if (a) at least twelve (12), but not more than eighteen (18), months prior to

    




the then current Stated Expiration Date, Tenant (or, pursuant to Section 17.1(e) , a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee) delivers to Landlord a “ Renewal Notice ” stating that it is irrevocably exercising its right to extend this Lease for one (1) Renewal Term; and (b) no Tenant Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date Landlord receives the Renewal Notice or on the last day of the then current Term (other than a Tenant Event of Default that is in the process of being cured by a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee in compliance in all respects with Section 17.1(d) and Section 17.1(e) ). Subject to the provisions, terms and conditions of this Lease, upon Tenant’s timely delivery to Landlord of a Renewal Notice, the Term of this Lease shall be extended for the then applicable Renewal Term. During any such Renewal Term, except as specifically provided for herein, all of the provisions, terms and conditions of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. After the last Renewal Term, Tenant shall have no further right to renew or extend the Term. If Tenant fails to validly and timely exercise any right to extend this Lease, then all subsequent rights to extend the Term shall terminate.

On each Escalator Adjustment Date during such Renewal Term, the Base Rent payable for such Lease Year shall be equal to the Base Rent payable for the immediately preceding Lease Year, multiplied by the Escalator.
(ii)      Variable Rent for each Lease Year during such Renewal Term (for each Renewal Term, the “ Renewal Term Variable Rent Period ”) shall be equal to the Variable Rent in effect as of the last day of the Preceding Lease Year, adjusted as follows:
(A)      in the event that the annual Net Revenue for the Fiscal Period ending immediately prior to the end of the Preceding Lease Year exceeds the annual Net Revenue for the Fiscal Period ending immediately prior to the Lease Year five (5) years prior to the Preceding Lease Year ( i.e. , (x) in respect of the first (1 st ) Renewal Term, the tenth (10 th ) Lease Year, and (y) in respect of each subsequent Renewal Term, the Lease Year immediately preceding the first (1 st ) Lease Year of the immediately preceding Renewal Term) (any such excess, the respective “ Renewal Term Increase ”), the Variable Rent for such Renewal Term shall equal the Variable Rent in effect as of the last day of the Preceding Lease Year increased by an amount equal to the product of (a) four percent (4%) and (b) such Renewal Term Increase; or
(B)      in the event that the annual Net Revenue for the Fiscal Period ending immediately prior to the end of the Preceding Lease Year is less than the annual Net Revenue for the Fiscal Period ending immediately prior to the Lease Year five (5) years prior to the Preceding Lease Year ( i.e. , (x) in respect of the first (1 st ) Renewal Term, the tenth (10 th ) Lease Year and (y) in respect of each subsequent Renewal Term, the Lease Year immediately preceding the first (1 st ) Lease Year of the immediately preceding Renewal Term) (any such difference, the respective “ Renewal Term Decrease ”), the Variable Rent for such Renewal Term shall equal the Variable Rent in effect as of the last day of the Preceding Lease Year decreased by an amount equal to the product of (a) four percent (4%) and (b) such Renewal Term Decrease.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) but subject to any reduction in Rent by the Rent Reduction Amount pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Lease, in no event shall annual Base Rent during any Lease Year after the seventh (7 th ) Lease Year be less than eighty percent (80%) of the Rent in the seventh (7 th ) Lease Year, and (ii) in no event shall the Variable Rent be less than Zero Dollars ($0.00).
Rent Reduction Amount ”: (i) With respect to the Base Rent, a proportionate reduction of Base Rent, which proportionate amount shall be determined by comparing (1) the EBITDAR of the Leased

    




Property for the Trailing Test Period versus (2) the EBITDAR of the Leased Property for the Trailing Test Period calculated to remove the EBITDAR attributable to the portion of the Leased Property affected by a Partial Taking and (ii) with respect to Variable Rent, a proportionate reduction of Variable Rent calculated in the same manner as set forth with respect to Base Rent above. Following the application of the Rent Reduction Amount to the Rent hereunder, for purposes of calculating any applicable adjustments to Variable Rent based on increases or decreases in Net Revenue, such calculations of Net Revenue shall exclude Net Revenue attributable to the portion of the Leased Property affected by such Partial Taking (even if such portion of the Leased Property had not yet been affected by the Partial Taking as of the applicable Lease Year for which Net Revenue is being measured).

ARTICLE III
RENT
3.1    Rent .
(a)     Generally . During the Term, Tenant will pay to Landlord the Rent and Additional Charges in lawful money of the United States of America and legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, in the manner provided in Section 3.4 .
    

    




(b) Payment of Rent until Commencement of Variable Rent . On the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay a prorated portion of the first monthly installment of Rent for the period from the Commencement Date until the last day of the calendar month in which the Commencement Date occurs, based on the number of days during such period. Thereafter, for the first seven (7) Lease Years, Rent shall be payable by Tenant in consecutive monthly installments equal to one-twelfth (1/12 th ) of the Rent amount for the applicable Lease Year on the first (1 st ) day of each calendar month (or the immediately succeeding Business Day if the first (1 st ) day of the month is not a Business Day), in advance for such calendar month, during that Lease Year.
        
(d)     Payment of Rent following Commencement of Variable Rent . From the commencement of the eighth (8 th ) Lease Year and continuing until the Expiration Date, both Base Rent and Variable Rent during any Lease Year shall be payable in consecutive monthly installments equal to one-twelfth (1/12 th ) of the Base Rent and Variable Rent amounts for the applicable Lease Year on the first (1 st ) day of each calendar month (or the immediately succeeding Business Day if the first (1 st ) day of the month is not a Business Day), in advance for such calendar month, during that Lease Year; provided , however , that for each month where Variable Rent is payable but the amount thereof depends upon calculation of Net Revenue not yet known ( e.g. , the first few months of the eighth (8 th ) Lease Year, the eleventh (11 th ) Lease Year, and (if applicable) the first (1 st ) Lease Year of each Renewal Term), the amount of the Variable Rent payable monthly in advance shall remain the same as in the immediately preceding month, and provided , further , that Tenant shall make a payment to Landlord (or be entitled to set off against its Rent payment due, as applicable) on the first (1 st ) day of the calendar month (or the immediately succeeding Business Day if the first (1 st ) day of the month is not a Business Day) following the completion of such calculation in the amount necessary to “true-up” any underpayments or overpayments of Variable Rent for such interim period. Tenant shall complete such calculation of Net Revenue as provided in Section 3.2 of this Lease.
        
(e)     Proration for Partial Lease Year . Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, Rent and Additional Charges shall be prorated on a per diem basis as to any Lease Year containing less than twelve (12) calendar months, and with respect to any installment thereof due for any partial months at the beginning and end of the Term.

3.2     Variable Rent Determination .

(a)     Variable Rent Statement . Tenant shall, no later than ninety (90) days after the end of each Variable Rent Determination Period during the Term, furnish to Landlord a statement (the “ Variable Rent Statement ”), which Variable Rent Statement shall (i) set forth the sum of the Net Revenues realized with respect to the Facility during each of (x) such just-ended Variable Rent Determination Period and (y) except with respect to the first (1 st ) Variable Rent Statement, the Variable Rent Determination Period immediately preceding such just-ended Variable Rent Determination Period, (ii) except with respect to the first (1 st ) Variable Rent Statement, set forth Tenant’s calculation of the per annum Variable Rent payable hereunder during the next Variable Rent Payment Period, (iii) be accompanied by reasonably appropriate supporting data and information, and (iv) be certified by a senior financial officer of Tenant and expressly state that such officer has examined the reports of Net Revenue therein and the supporting data and information accompanying the same, that such examination included such tests of Tenant’s books and records as reasonably necessary to make such determination, and that such statement accurately presents in all material respects the Net Revenues for the applicable periods covered thereby , so that Tenant shall commence paying the applicable Variable Rent payable during each Variable Rent Payment Period hereunder (in accordance with the calculation set forth in each such Variable Rent Statement) no later than

    




the first (1 st ) day of the fourth (4 th ) calendar month during such Variable Rent Payment Period (or the immediately preceding Business Day if the first (1 st ) day of such month is not a Business Day)
.
(b)     Maintenance of Records Relating to Variable Rent Statement . Tenant shall maintain, at its corporate offices, for a period of not less than six (6) years following the end of each Lease Year, adequate records which shall evidence the Net Revenue realized by the Facility during each Lease Year, together with all such records that would normally be examined by an independent auditor pursuant to GAAP in performing an audit of Tenant’s Variable Rent Statements. The provisions and covenants of this Section 3.2(b) shall survive the expiration of the Term or sooner termination of this Lease.
        
(c)     Audits . At any time within two (2) years of receipt of any Variable Rent Statement, Landlord shall have the right to cause to be conducted an independent audit of the matters covered thereby, conducted by a nationally-recognized independent public accounting firm mutually reasonably agreed to by the Parties. Such audit shall be limited to items necessary to ascertain an accurate determination of the calculation of the Variable Rent payable hereunder, and shall be conducted during normal business hours at the principal executive office of Tenant. If it shall be determined as a result of such audit (i) that there has been a deficiency in the payment of Variable Rent, such deficiency shall become due and payable by Tenant to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after such determination, or (ii) that there has been an excess payment of Variable Rent, such excess shall become due and payable by Landlord to Tenant, within thirty (30) days after such determination. In addition, if any Variable Rent Statement shall be found to have understated the per annum Variable Rent payable during any Variable Rent Payment Period by more than two and one-half percent (2.5%), and Landlord is entitled to any additional Variable Rent as a result of such understatement, then (x) Tenant shall pay to Landlord all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses which may be incurred by Landlord in determining and collecting the understatement or underpayment, including the cost of the audit (if applicable) and (y) interest at the Overdue Rate on the amount of the deficiency from the date when said payment should have been made until paid. If it shall be determined as a result of such audit that the applicable Variable Rent Statement did not understate the per annum Variable Rent payable during any Variable Rent Payment Period by more than two and one-half percent (2.5%), then Landlord shall pay to Tenant all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in making such determination, including the cost of the audit. In addition, if any Variable Rent Statement shall be found to have willfully and intentionally understated the per annum Variable Rent, by more than five percent (5%), such understatement shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute a Tenant Event of Default under this Lease. Any audit conducted pursuant to this Section 3.2(c) shall be performed subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 23.1(c) hereof. The receipt by Landlord of any Variable Rent Statement or any Variable Rent paid in accordance therewith for any period shall not constitute an admission of the correctness thereof.

3.3     Late Payment of Rent or Additional Charges . Tenant hereby acknowledges that the late payment by Tenant to Landlord of any Rent or Additional Charges will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated hereunder, the exact amount of which is presently anticipated to be extremely difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, if any installment of Rent or Additional Charges payable directly to Landlord shall not be paid within four (4) days after its due date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand a late charge equal to the lesser of (a) five percent (5%) of the amount of such installment or Additional Charges and (b) the maximum amount permitted by law. The Parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. The Parties further agree that any such late charge constitutes Rent, and not interest, and such assessment does not constitute a lender or borrower/creditor relationship between Landlord and Tenant. If any installment of Rent (or Additional Charges payable directly to Landlord) shall not be paid within nine (9) days after its due date, the amount unpaid, including any late charges previously accrued and unpaid, shall bear interest

    




at the Overdue Rate (from such ninth (9 th ) day after the due date of such installment until the date of payment thereof) (including interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, whether or not a claim for such interest is allowed or allowable in such proceeding), and Tenant shall pay such interest to Landlord on demand. The payment of such late charge or such interest shall not constitute a waiver of, nor excuse or cure, any default under this Lease, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights and remedies available to Landlord. No failure by Landlord to insist upon strict performance by Tenant of Tenant’s obligation to pay late charges and interest on sums overdue shall constitute a waiver by Landlord of its right to enforce the provisions, terms and conditions of this Section 3.3 . No payment by Tenant nor receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than may be required to be paid hereunder shall be deemed to be other than on account of any such payment, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check tendered as payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction and Landlord, in its sole discretion, may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such payment due or pursue any other right or remedy in this Lease provided.
    
3.4     Method of Payment of Rent . Rent and Additional Charges to be paid to Landlord shall be paid by electronic funds transfer debit transactions through wire transfer, ACH or direct deposit of immediately available federal funds and shall be initiated by Tenant for settlement on or before the applicable Payment Date in each case (or, in respect of Additional Charges, as applicable, such other date as may be applicable hereunder); provided, however, if the Payment Date is not a Business Day, then settlement shall be made next succeeding day which is a Business Day. Landlord shall provide Tenant with appropriate wire transfer, ACH and direct deposit information in a Notice from Landlord to Tenant. If Landlord directs, by written request, Tenant to pay any Rent or any Additional Charges to any party other than Landlord, Tenant shall send to Landlord, simultaneously with such payment, a copy of the transmittal letter or invoice and a check whereby such payment is made or such other evidence of payment as Landlord may reasonably require.

3.5     Net Lease . Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that (i) this Lease is and is intended to be what is commonly referred to as a “net, net, net” or “triple net” lease, and (ii) the Rent (including, for the avoidance of doubt, following commencement of the obligation to pay Variable Rent hereunder, the Base Rent and Variable Rent components of the Rent) and Additional Charges shall be paid absolutely net to Landlord, without abatement, deferment, reduction, defense, counterclaim, claim, demand, notice, deduction or offset of any kind whatsoever, so that this Lease shall yield to Landlord the full amount or benefit of the installments of Rent (including, for the avoidance of doubt, following commencement of the obligation to pay Variable Rent hereunder, the Base Rent and Variable Rent components of the Rent) and Additional Charges throughout the Term, all as more fully set forth in Article V and except and solely to the extent expressly provided in Article XIV (in connection with a Casualty Event), in Article XV (in connection with a Condemnation), and in Section 3.1 (in connection with the “true-up”, if any, applicable to the onset of a Variable Rent Payment Period). If Landlord commences any proceedings for non-payment of Rent, Tenant will not interpose any defense, offset, claim, counterclaim or cross complaint or similar pleading of any nature or description in such proceedings unless Tenant would lose or waive such claim by the failure to assert it. This shall not, however, be construed as a waiver of Tenant’s right to assert such claims in a separate action brought by Tenant. The covenants to pay Rent and Additional Charges hereunder are independent covenants, and Tenant shall have no right to hold back, deduct, defer, reduce, offset or fail to pay any such amounts for default by Landlord or for any other reason whatsoever, except solely as and to the extent provided in Section 3.1 and this Section 3.5 .

    





ARTICLE IV
ADDITIONAL CHARGES

4.1     Impositions . Subject to Article XII relating to permitted contests, Tenant shall pay, or cause to be paid, all Impositions as and when due and payable during the Term to the applicable taxing authority or other party imposing the same before any fine, penalty, premium or interest may be added for non-payment (provided, (i) such covenant shall not be construed to require early or advance payments that would reduce or discount the amount otherwise owed and (ii) Tenant shall not be required to pay any Impositions that under the terms of any applicable Ground Lease are required to be paid by the ground lessor thereunder). Tenant shall make such payments directly to the taxing authorities where feasible, and on a monthly basis furnish to Landlord a summary of such payments, together, upon the request of Landlord, with copies of official receipts or other reasonably satisfactory proof evidencing such payments. If Tenant is not permitted to, or it is otherwise not feasible for Tenant to, make such payments directly to the taxing authorities or other applicable party, then Tenant shall make such payments to Landlord at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the due date, and Landlord shall make such payments to the taxing authorities or other applicable party prior to the due date. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant any bills received by Landlord for Impositions, promptly following Landlord’s receipt thereof. Tenant’s obligation to pay Impositions shall be absolutely fixed upon the date such Impositions become a lien upon the Leased Property to the extent payable during the Term or any part thereof, subject to Article XII . Notwithstanding anything in the first sentence of this Section 4.1 to the contrary, if any Imposition may, at the option of the taxpayer, lawfully be paid in installments, whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of such Imposition, Tenant may pay the same, and any accrued interest on the unpaid balance of such Imposition, in installments as the same respectively become due and before any fine, penalty, premium or further interest may be added thereto.

(a) Landlord or Landlord REIT shall prepare and file all tax returns and reports as may be required by Legal Requirements with respect to Landlord’s net income, gross receipts, franchise taxes and taxes on its capital stock and any other returns required to be filed by or in the name of Landlord (the “Landlord Tax Returns”), and Tenant or Tenant’s applicable direct or indirect parent shall prepare and file all other tax returns and reports as may be required by Legal Requirements with respect to or relating to the Leased Property (including all Capital Improvements) and Tenant’s Property.

(b) Any refund due from any taxing authority in respect of any Imposition paid by or on behalf of Tenant shall be paid over to or retained by Tenant, and any refund due from any taxing authority in respect of any Imposition paid by or on behalf of Landlord, if any, shall be paid over to or retained by Landlord.

(c) Landlord and Tenant shall, upon request of the other, provide such data as is maintained by the Party to whom the request is made with respect to the Leased Property as may be necessary to prepare any required tax returns and reports. Landlord, to the extent it possesses the same, and Tenant, to the extent it possesses the same, shall provide the other Party, upon request, with cost and depreciation records necessary for filing returns for any property classified as personal property. Where Landlord is legally required to file personal property tax returns, Landlord shall provide Tenant with copies of

    




assessment notices indicating a value in excess of the reported value in sufficient time for Tenant to file a protest.

(d) Billings for reimbursement by Tenant to Landlord of personal property or real property taxes and any taxes due under the Landlord Tax Returns, if and to the extent Tenant is responsible for such taxes under the terms of this Section 4.1 (subject to Article XII ), shall be accompanied by copies of a bill therefor and payments thereof which identify in reasonable detail the personal property or real property or other tax obligations of Landlord with respect to which such payments are made.

(e) Impositions imposed or assessed in respect of the tax-fiscal period during which the Commencement Date or the Expiration Date occurs shall be adjusted and prorated between Landlord and Tenant; provided , that Tenant’s obligation to pay its prorated share of Impositions imposed or assessed before the Expiration Date in respect of a tax-fiscal period during the Term shall survive the Expiration Date (and its right to contest the same pursuant to Article XII shall survive the Stated Expiration Date). Landlord will not enter into agreements that will result in, or consent to the imposition of, additional Impositions without Tenant’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided , in each case, Tenant is given reasonable opportunity to participate in the process leading to such agreement. Impositions imposed or assessed in respect of any tax-fiscal period occurring (in whole or in part) prior to the Commencement Date, if any, shall be Tenant’s obligation to pay or cause to be paid.
4.2     Utilities and Other Matters . Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all charges for electricity, power, gas, oil, water and other utilities used in the Leased Property. Tenant shall also pay or reimburse Landlord for all costs and expenses of any kind whatsoever which at any time with respect to the Term hereof may be imposed against Landlord by reason of any Property Documents, or with respect to easements, licenses or other rights over, across or with respect to any adjacent or other property which benefits the Leased Property or any Capital Improvement, including any and all costs and expenses associated with any utility, drainage and parking easements relating to the Leased Property (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any costs and expenses under any Fee Mortgage Documents).  
    
4.3     Compliance Certificate . Landlord shall deliver to Tenant, promptly following Landlord’s receipt thereof, any bills received by Landlord for items required to be paid by Tenant hereunder, including, without limitation, Impositions, utilities and insurance. Promptly upon request of Landlord (but so long as no Event of Default is continuing no more frequently than one time per Fiscal Quarter), Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a certification stating that all or a specified portion of Impositions, utilities, insurance premiums or, to the extent specified by Landlord, any other amounts payable by Tenant hereunder that have, in each case, come due prior to the date of such certification have been paid (or that such payments are being contested in good faith by Tenant in accordance herewith) and specifying the portion of the Leased Property to which such payments relate.
    
4.4     Impound Account . At Landlord’s option following the occurrence and during the continuation of a monetary Tenant Event of Default (to be exercised by thirty (30) days’ written notice to Tenant), and provided Tenant is not already being required to impound such payments in accordance with the requirements of Section 31.3 below, Tenant shall be required to deposit, at the time of any payment of Rent, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12 th ) of the sum of (i) Tenant’s estimated annual real and personal property taxes required pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof (as reasonably determined by Landlord), and (ii) Tenant’s estimated annual insurance premium costs pursuant to Article XIII hereof (as reasonably determined by Landlord). Such amounts shall be applied to the payment of the obligations in respect of which said amounts were deposited, on or before the respective dates on which the same or any of them

    




would become due. The reasonable cost of administering such impound account shall be paid by Tenant. Nothing in this Section 4.4 shall be deemed to affect any other right or remedy of Landlord hereunder.


ARTICLE V
NO TERMINATION, ABATEMENT, ETC.

Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease, Tenant shall remain bound by this Lease in accordance with its terms. The obligations of Landlord and Tenant hereunder shall be separate and independent covenants and agreements and the Rent and all other sums payable by Tenant hereunder shall continue to be payable in all events unless the obligations to pay the same shall be terminated pursuant to the express provisions of this Lease or by termination of this Lease as to all or any portion of the Leased Property other than by reason of a Tenant Event of Default. Without limitation of the preceding sentence, the respective obligations of Landlord and Tenant shall not be affected by reason of, except as expressly set forth in Articles XIV and XV , (i) any damage to or destruction of the Leased Property, including any Capital Improvement or any portion thereof from whatever cause, or any Condemnation of the Leased Property, including any Capital Improvement or any portion thereof or, discontinuance of any service or utility servicing the same; (ii) the lawful or unlawful prohibition of, or restriction upon, Tenant’s use of the Leased Property, including any Capital Improvement or any portion thereof or the interference with such use by any Person or by reason of eviction by paramount title; (iii) any claim that Tenant has or might have against Landlord by reason of any default or breach of any warranty by Landlord hereunder or under any other agreement between Landlord and Tenant or to which Landlord and Tenant are parties; (iv) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, consolidation, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or other proceedings affecting Landlord or any assignee or transferee of Landlord; or (v) for any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Article V shall preclude Tenant from bringing a separate action against Landlord for any matter described in the foregoing clauses (ii), (iii) or (v) and Tenant is not waiving other rights and remedies not expressly waived herein. Tenant’s agreement that, except as may be otherwise specifically provided in this Lease, any eviction by paramount title as described in item (ii) above shall not affect Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, shall not in any way discharge or diminish any obligation of any insurer under any policy of title or other insurance, and, to the extent the recovery thereof is not necessary to compensate Landlord for any damages incurred by any such eviction, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit for any sums recovered by Landlord under any such policy of title or other insurance in respect of any such eviction up to the maximum amount paid by Tenant to Landlord under this Article V and Article XIV hereof in respect of any such eviction or the duration thereof, and Landlord, upon request by Tenant, shall assign Landlord’s rights under such policies to Tenant provided such assignment does not adversely affect Landlord’s rights under any such policy and provided further , that Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and save Landlord harmless from and against any liability, cost or expense of any kind that may be imposed upon Landlord in connection with any such assignment except to the extent such liability, cost or expense arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord.

    






ARTICLE VI
OWNERSHIP OF REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY

6.1     Ownership of the Leased Property .

(a)    Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that they have executed and delivered this Lease with the understanding that (i) the Leased Property is the property of Landlord, (ii) Tenant has only the right to the possession and use of the Leased Property upon the terms and conditions of this Lease, (iii) this Lease is a “true lease,” is not a financing lease, mortgage, equitable mortgage, deed of trust, trust agreement, security agreement or other financing or trust arrangement, and the economic realities of this Lease are those of a true lease, (iv) the business relationship created by this Lease and any related documents is and at all times shall remain that of landlord and tenant, (v) this Lease has been entered into by each Party in reliance upon the mutual covenants, conditions and agreements contained herein, and (vi) none of the agreements contained herein is intended, nor shall the same be deemed or construed, to create a partnership between Landlord and Tenant, to make them joint venturers, to make Tenant an agent, legal representative, partner, subsidiary or employee of Landlord, or to make Landlord in any way responsible for the debts, obligations or losses of Tenant.


(b)    Each of the Parties covenants and agrees, subject to Section 6.1(d) , not to (i) file any income tax return or other associated documents, (ii) file any other document with or submit any document to any governmental body or authority, or (iii) enter into any written contractual arrangement with any Person, in each case that takes a position other than that this Lease is a “true lease” with Landlord as owner of the Leased Property (except as expressly set forth below) and Tenant as the tenant of the Leased Property.  For U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes, Landlord and Tenant agree that (x) Landlord shall be treated as the owner of the Leased Property eligible to claim depreciation deductions under Sections 167 or 168 of the Code with respect to all Leased Property excluding the Leased Property described in clause (y) below, and (y) Tenant shall be treated as owner of, and eligible to claim depreciation deductions under Sections 167 or 168 of the Code with respect to, all Tenant Capital Improvements (including, for avoidance of doubt and for purposes of this sentence, Tenant Material Capital Improvements) and Material Capital Improvements funded by Landlord pursuant to a Landlord MCI Financing that is treated as a loan for such income tax purposes.

(c)    If, notwithstanding (i) the form and substance of this Lease, (ii) the intent of the Parties, and (iii) the language contained herein providing that this Lease shall at all times be construed, interpreted and applied to create an indivisible lease of all of the Leased Property, any court of competent jurisdiction finds that this Lease is a financing arrangement, then this Lease shall be considered a secured financing agreement and Landlord’s title to the Leased Property shall constitute a perfected first priority lien in Landlord’s favor on the Leased Property to secure the payment and performance of all the obligations of Tenant hereunder (and to that end, Tenant hereby grants, assigns and transfers to Landlord a security interest in all right, title or interest in or to any and all of the Leased Property, as security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due of Tenant’s obligations hereunder). In such event, Tenant (and each Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee) authorizes Landlord, at the expense of Tenant, to make any filings or take other actions as Landlord reasonably determines are necessary or advisable in order to effect fully this Lease or

    




to more fully perfect or renew the rights of Landlord, and to subordinate to Landlord the lien of any Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, with respect to the Leased Property (it being understood that nothing in this Section 6.1(c) shall affect the rights of a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee under Article XVII hereof). At any time and from time to time upon the request of Landlord, and at the expense of Tenant, Tenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver such further documents and do such other acts as Landlord may reasonably request in order to effect fully this Lease or to more fully perfect or renew the rights of Landlord with respect to the Leased Property as described in this Lease. If Tenant should reasonably conclude that, as a result of change in law or GAAP accounting standards, or a change in agency interpretation thereof, GAAP or the SEC require treatment different from that set forth in Section 6.1(b) for applicable non-tax purposes, then (x) Tenant shall promptly give prior Notice to Landlord, accompanied by a written statement that references the applicable pronouncement that controls such treatment and contains a brief description and/or analysis that sets forth in reasonable detail the basis upon which Tenant reached such conclusion, and (y) notwithstanding Section 6.1(b) and this Section 6.1(c) , Tenant may comply with such requirements.
    
(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that, as of the Commencement Date, for GAAP purposes this Lease is not expected to be treated as a “true lease” and that the Parties will prepare Financial Statements consistent with GAAP (and for purposes of any SEC or other similar governmental filing purposes), as applicable.

(e)    Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the Rent is the fair market rent for the use of the Leased Property and was agreed to by Landlord and Tenant on that basis, and the execution and delivery of, and the performance by Tenant of its obligations under, this Lease does not constitute a transfer of all or any part of the Leased Property, but rather the creation of the Leasehold Estate subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease.

(f)    Tenant waives any claim or defense based upon the characterization of this Lease as anything other than a true lease of the Leased Property. Tenant stipulates and agrees (1) not to challenge the validity, enforceability or characterization of this Lease of the Leased Property as a true lease, and (2) not to assert or take or omit to take any action inconsistent with the agreements and understandings set forth in Section 1.2 , Section 3.5 or this Section 6.1 . The expressions of intent, the waivers, the representations and warranties, the covenants, the agreements and the stipulations set forth in this Section 6.1 are a material inducement to Landlord entering into this Lease.

6.2     Ownership of Tenant’s Property . Tenant shall, during the entire Term, (a) own (or lease) and maintain on the Leased Property adequate and sufficient Tenant’s Property, and (b) maintain all of such Tenant’s Property in good order, condition and repair, in all cases as shall be necessary and appropriate in order to operate the Leased Property for the Primary Intended Use in material compliance with all applicable licensure and certification requirements and in material compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements, Insurance Requirements and Gaming Regulations. If any of Tenant’s Property requires replacement in order to comply with the foregoing, Tenant shall replace it with similar property of the same or better quality at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Subject to the foregoing and the other express terms and conditions of this Lease, Tenant may sell, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of Tenant’s Property in its discretion in the ordinary course of its business and Landlord shall have no rights to such sold, transferred, conveyed or otherwise disposed of Tenant’s Property. In the case of any such Tenant’s Property that is leased (rather than owned) by Tenant, Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any agreements entered into after the Commencement Date pursuant to which Tenant leases such Tenant’s Property are

    




assignable to third parties in connection with any transfer by Tenant to a replacement lessee or operator at the end of the Term. To the extent not transferred to a Successor Tenant pursuant to Article XXXVI hereof, Tenant shall remove all of Tenant’s Property from the Leased Property at the end of the Term. Any tangible Tenant’s Property left on the Leased Property at the end of the Term whose ownership was not transferred to a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or its designee or assignee that entered into or succeeded to a New Lease pursuant to the terms hereof or to a Successor Tenant pursuant to Article XXXVI hereof shall be deemed abandoned by Tenant and shall become the property of Landlord.

Without limitation of the foregoing and regardless of any examination or inspection made by Tenant, and whether or not any patent or latent defect or condition was revealed or discovered thereby, Tenant is leasing the Leased Property “as is” in its present condition. Without limitation of the foregoing, Tenant waives any claim or action against Landlord in respect of the condition of the Leased Property including any defects or adverse conditions not discovered or otherwise known by Tenant as of the Commencement Date.

This Section 7.1 shall not be construed to limit Landlord’s express indemnities made hereunder.

7.2 Use of the Leased Property .

(a) Tenant shall not use (or cause or permit to be used) the Facility, including the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, including any Capital Improvement, for any use other than the Primary Intended Use without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent Landlord may withhold in its sole discretion. Landlord acknowledges that operation of the Leased Property for its Primary Intended Use generally may require a Gaming License under applicable Gaming Regulations and that without such a

    




license, if applicable, neither Landlord nor Landlord REIT may operate, control or participate in the conduct of the gaming operations at the Facility. Tenant acknowledges that operation of the Facility for its Primary Intended Use generally may require a Gaming License under applicable Gaming Regulations and that without such a license, if applicable, Tenant may not operate, control or participate in the conduct of the gaming operations at the Facility.

(b) Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste with respect to the Facility, including on or to the Leased Property (and, without limitation, to the Capital Improvements) or cause or permit any nuisance thereon or, except as required by law, knowingly take or suffer any action or condition that will diminish in any material respect, the ability of the Leased Property to be used as a Gaming Facility (or otherwise for the Primary Intended Use) after the Expiration Date.

(c) Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (i) initiate or support any limiting change in the permitted uses of the Leased Property (or to the extent applicable, limiting zoning reclassification of the Leased Property); (ii) seek any variance under existing land use restrictions, laws, rules or regulations (or, to the extent applicable, zoning ordinances) applicable to the Leased Property or the use of the Leased Property in any manner that adversely affects (other than to a de minimis extent) the value or utility of the Leased Property for the Primary Intended Use; (iii) execute or file any subdivision plat or condominium declaration affecting the Leased Property or any portion thereof, or institute, or permit the institution of, proceedings to alter any tax lot comprising the Leased Property or any portion thereof; or (iv) knowingly permit or suffer the Leased Property or any portion thereof to be used by the public or any Person in such manner as might make possible a claim of adverse usage or possession or of any implied dedication or easement ( provided that the proscription in this clause (iv) is not intended to and shall not restrict Tenant in any way from complying with any obligation it may have under applicable Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, Gaming Regulations, to afford to the public access to the Leased Property or any portion thereof). Without limiting the foregoing, (1) Tenant will not impose or permit the imposition of any restrictive covenants, easements or other encumbrances upon the Leased Property (including, subject to the last paragraph of Section 16.1 , any restriction, covenant, easement or other encumbrance which Tenant may otherwise impose or permit to be imposed pursuant to the provisions of any Permitted Exception Document) without Landlord’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided , that , Landlord is given reasonable opportunity to participate in the process leading to such agreement, and (2) other than any liens or other encumbrances granted to a Fee Mortgagee, Landlord will not enter into agreements that will encumber the Leased Property without Tenant’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided , that , Tenant is given reasonable opportunity to participate in the process leading to such agreement. Landlord agrees it will not withhold consent to utility easements and other similar encumbrances made in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business conducted on the Leased Property in accordance with the Primary Intended Use, provided the same does not adversely affect in any material respect the use or utility of the Leased Property for the Primary Intended Use. Nothing in the foregoing is intended to vitiate or supersede Tenant’s right to enter into Permitted Leasehold Mortgages or Landlord’s right to enter into Fee Mortgages in each case as and to the extent provided herein.


    




Except to the extent resulting from a Permitted Operation Interruption, Tenant shall cause the Facility to be Continuously Operated during the Term. During any time period that the Facility ceases to be Continuously Operated, solely for purposes of calculating Variable Rent in accordance herewith, the Net Revenue shall be subject to a floor equal to the Net Revenue for the Facility for the calendar year immediately preceding such period that the Facility is not Continuously Operated, prorated for the applicable time period that the Facility is not Continuously Operated. Further, if the Facility ceases to be Continuously Operated for a period of one (1) year, then Landlord shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate this Lease.

(d) Subject to Article XII regarding permitted contests, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall promptly (i) comply in all material respects with all Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements affecting the Facility and the business conducted thereat, including those regarding the use, operation, maintenance, repair and restoration of the Leased Property or any portion thereof (including all Capital Improvements) and Tenant’s Property whether or not compliance therewith may require structural changes in any of the Leased Improvements or interfere with the use and enjoyment of the Leased Property or any portion thereof, and (ii) procure, maintain and comply in all material respects with all Gaming Regulations and Gaming Licenses, and other authorizations required for the use of the Leased Property (including all Capital Improvements) and Tenant’s Property for the applicable Primary Intended Use and any other use of the Leased Property (including Capital Improvements then being made) and Tenant’s Property, and for the proper erection, installation, operation and maintenance of the Leased Property and Tenant’s Property.

In advance of commencing any Work in connection with any Material Capital Improvement (provided, for purposes of clarification, that preliminary planning, designing, budgeting, evaluating (including environmental and integrity testing and the like) (collectively, “ Preliminary Studies ”), permitting and demolishing in preparation for such Material Capital Improvement shall not be considered “commencing” for purposes hereof), Tenant shall provide written notice (“ Tenant’s MCI Intent Notice ”) of Tenant’s intent to do so, which notice shall be accompanied by (i) a reasonably detailed description of the proposed Material Capital Improvement, (ii) the then-projected cost of construction of the proposed Material Capital Improvement, (iii) copies of the plans and specifications, permits, licenses, contracts and Preliminary Studies concerning the proposed Material Capital Improvement, to the extent then-available, (iv) reasonable evidence that such proposed Material Capital Improvement will, upon completion, comply with all applicable Legal Requirements, and (v) reasonably detailed information regarding the terms upon which Tenant is considering seeking financing therefor, if any. To the extent in Tenant’s possession or control, Tenant shall provide to Landlord any additional information about such proposed Material Capital Improvements which Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord (or, with respect to financing structured as a loan rather than as ownership of the real property by Landlord with a lease back to Tenant, Landlord’s Affiliate) may, but shall be under no obligation to, provide all (but not less than all) of the financing necessary to fund the applicable Material Capital Improvement (along with related fees and expenses, such as title fees, costs of permits, legal fees and other similar transaction costs) by complying with the option exercise requirements set forth below. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of Tenant’s MCI Intent Notice, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing as to whether Landlord (or, if applicable, its Affiliate) is willing to provide financing for such proposed Material Capital Improvement and, if so, the terms and conditions upon which Landlord (or, if applicable, its Affiliate) is willing to do so in reasonable detail, in the form of a proposed term sheet (such terms and conditions, “ Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal ”). Upon receipt, Tenant shall have ten (10) days to accept, reject or commence negotiating Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal.

(b) If Tenant Accepts Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal . If Tenant accepts Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal (either initially or, after negotiation, a modified version thereof) (an “ Accepted MCI Financing Proposal ”) and such financing is actually consummated between Tenant and Landlord (or, if applicable, its Affiliate) as more particularly provided in Section 10.4(f) below (a “ Landlord MCI Financing ”), then, as and when constructed, such Material Capital Improvement shall be deemed part of the Leased Property for all purposes except as specifically provided in Section 6.1(b) hereof (and, without limitation, such Material Capital Improvements shall be surrendered to (and all rights therein shall be relinquished in favor of) Landlord upon the Expiration Date).

(c) If Landlord Declines to Make Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal . If Landlord declines or fails to timely submit Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal, Tenant shall be permitted to either (1) use then-existing available financing or, subject to Article XVII , enter into financing arrangements with any lender, preferred equity holder and/or other third-party financing source (a “ Third‑Party MCI Financing ”) for such Material Capital Improvement or (2) use Cash to pay for such Material Capital Improvement, provided , that if Tenant has not used then-existing, or entered into a new, Third‑Party MCI

    




Financing (or commenced such Material Capital Improvement utilizing Cash) by the date that is twelve (12) months following delivery of Tenant’s MCI Intent Notice, then, prior to entering into any such Third‑Party MCI Financing and/or commencing such Material Capital Improvement, Tenant shall again be required to send Tenant’s MCI Intent Notice seeking financing from Landlord (on the terms contemplated by this Section 10.4 ).

(d) If Tenant Declines Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal . If Landlord timely submits Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal and Tenant rejects or fails to accept or commence negotiating Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal within the applicable 10‑day period (or, following commencing negotiating said proposal, Tenant notifies Landlord of Tenant’s decision to cease such discussions), then, subject to the remaining terms of this paragraph, Tenant shall be permitted to either (1) use then-existing, or, subject to Article XVII , enter into a new, Third‑Party MCI Financing for such Material Capital Improvement (subject to the following proviso) or (2) use Cash to pay for such Material Capital Improvement, provided , that Tenant may not use then-existing, or enter into a new, Third‑Party MCI Financing, except in each case on terms that are, taken as a whole, economically more advantageous to Tenant than those offered under Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal, provided , further , that in no event shall Tenant be obligated to obtain financing from Landlord to the extent such financing from Landlord would violate or cause a default or breach under any Material Indebtedness of Tenant’s Parent Entity or Tenant, provided , however , that Tenant shall use good faith efforts to avoid, and cause Tenant’s Parent to avoid, agreeing to any contractual obligations that would vitiate Landlord’s right to provide financing for Tenant’s proposed Material Capital Improvement as provided in this Section 10.4 . In determining if financing is economically more advantageous, consideration may be given to, among other items, (x) pricing, amortization, length of term and duration of commitment period of such financing; (y) the cost, availability and terms of any financing sufficient to fund such Material Capital Improvement and other expenditures which are material in relation to the cost of such Material Capital Improvement (if any) which are intended to be funded in connection with the construction of such Material Capital Improvement and which are related to the use and operation of such Material Capital Improvement and (z) other customary considerations. Tenant shall provide Landlord with reasonable evidence of the terms of any such financing. If Tenant has not used then-existing, or entered into a new, Third‑Party MCI Financing (or commenced such Material Capital Improvement utilizing Cash) by the date that is twelve (12) months following receipt of Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal, then, prior to entering into any such Third‑Party MCI Financing and/or commencing such Material Capital Improvement after such twelve (12) month period, Tenant shall again be required to send Tenant’s MCI Intent Notice seeking financing from Landlord (on the terms contemplated by this Section 10.4 ). For purposes of clarification, Tenant may use Cash to finance any applicable Material Capital Improvement (subject to the express terms and conditions hereof, including, without limitation, Tenant’s obligation to provide Tenant’s MCI Intent Notice).

(e) Ownership of Material Capital Improvements Not Financed by Landlord . If Tenant constructs a Material Capital Improvement utilizing Third‑Party MCI Financing or Cash in accordance with Sections 10.4(c) or (d) (such Material Capital Improvement being sometimes referred to in this Lease as a “ Tenant Material Capital Improvement ”), then, (A) as and when constructed, such Material Capital Improvement shall be deemed part of the Leased Property for all purposes except as specifically provided in Section 6.1(b) hereof, (B) upon any termination of this Lease prior to the Stated Expiration Date as a result of a Tenant Event of Default (except in the event a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee has exercised its right to obtain a New Lease and complies in all respects with Section 17.1(f) and any other applicable provisions of this Lease), such Material Capital Improvements shall be owned by Landlord without any reimbursement by Landlord to Tenant, and, (C) upon the Stated Expiration Date, such Material Capital Improvements shall be transferred to Tenant; provided, however, upon written notice to Tenant at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the Stated Expiration Date, Landlord shall have the option to reimburse

    




Tenant for such Tenant Material Capital Improvements in an amount equal to the Fair Market Ownership Value thereof, and, if Landlord elects to reimburse Tenant for such Tenant Material Capital Improvements, any amount due to Tenant for such reimbursement shall be credited against any amounts owed by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease as of the Stated Expiration Date and any remaining portion of such amount shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant on the Stated Expiration Date. If Landlord fails to deliver such written notice electing to reimburse Tenant for such Tenant Material Capital Improvements at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the Stated Expiration Date, or otherwise does not consummate such reimbursement at least sixty (60) days prior to the Stated Expiration Date (other than as a result of Tenant’s acts or omissions in violation of this Lease), then Landlord shall be deemed to have elected not to reimburse Tenant for such Tenant Material Capital Improvements. If Landlord elects or is deemed to have elected not to reimburse Tenant for such Tenant Material Capital Improvements in accordance with the foregoing sentence, Tenant shall have the option to either (1) prior to the Stated Expiration Date, remove such Tenant Material Capital Improvements and restore the affected Leased Property to the same or better condition existing prior to such Tenant Material Capital Improvement being constructed, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, in which event such Tenant Material Capital Improvements shall be owned by Tenant or (2) leave the applicable Tenant Material Capital Improvements at the Leased Property at the Stated Expiration Date, at no cost to Landlord, in which event such Tenant Material Capital Improvements shall be owned by Landlord.

(f) Landlord MCI Financing . In the event of an Accepted MCI Financing Proposal, Tenant shall provide Landlord with the following prior to any advance of funds under such Landlord MCI Financing:
i. any information, certificates, licenses, permits or documents reasonably requested by Landlord which are necessary and obtainable to confirm that Tenant will be able to use the Material Capital Improvements upon completion thereof in accordance with the Primary Intended Use, including all required federal, state or local government licenses and approvals;
ii. an officer’s certificate and, if requested, a certificate from Tenant’s Architect providing appropriate backup information, setting forth in reasonable detail the projected or actual costs related to such Material Capital Improvements;

iii. except to the extent covered by the amendment referenced in clause (iv) below, a construction loan and/or funding agreement (and such other related instruments and agreements), in a form reasonably agreed to by Landlord and Tenant, reflecting the terms of the Landlord MCI Financing, setting forth the terms of the Accepted MCI Financing Proposal, and without additional requirements on Tenant (including, without limitation, additional bonding or guaranty requirements) except those which are reasonable and customary and consistent in all respects with this Section 10.4 and the terms of the Accepted MCI Financing Proposal;

iv. except to the extent covered by the construction loan and/or funding agreement referenced in clause (iii) above, an amendment to this Lease, in a form reasonably agreed to by Landlord and Tenant, which may include, among other things, an increase in the Rent (in amounts as agreed upon by the Parties pursuant to the Accepted MCI Financing Proposal), and other provisions as may be necessary or appropriate;

v. a deed conveying title to Landlord to any additional Land acquired for the purpose of constructing the Material Capital Improvement, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances except those approved by Landlord, and accompanied by (x) an owner’s policy of title insurance insuring the Fair Market Ownership Value of fee simple or leasehold (as applicable) title to such Land and any improvements thereon, free of any exceptions other than liens and encumbrances that do not materially interfere with the intended use of the Leased Property or are

    




otherwise approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (y) an ALTA survey thereof;

vi. if Landlord obtains a lender’s policy of title insurance in connection with such Landlord MCI Financing, for each advance, endorsements to any such policy of title insurance reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Landlord (i) updating the same without any additional exception except those that do not materially affect the value of such land and do not interfere with the intended use of the Leased Property, or as may otherwise be permitted under this Lease, or as may be approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (ii) increasing the coverage thereof by an amount equal to the then-advanced cost of the Material Capital Improvement; and

vii. such other billing statements, invoices, certificates, endorsements, opinions, site assessments, surveys, resolutions, ratifications, lien releases and waivers and other instruments and information which are reasonable and customary and consistent in all respects with this Section 10.4 and the terms of the Accepted MCI Financing Proposal.

In the event that (1) Tenant is unable, for reasons beyond Tenant’s reasonable control, to satisfy any of the requirements set forth in this Section 10.4(f) (and Landlord is unable or unwilling to waive the same), (2) Landlord and Tenant are unable (despite good faith efforts continuing for at least sixty (60) days after agreement on the Accepted MCI Financing Proposal) to agree on any of the requirements of, or the form of any document required under, this Section 10.4(f) , or (3) Landlord fails or refuses to consummate the Landlord MCI Financing and/or advance funds thereunder, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.4 , Tenant shall be entitled to use then-existing, or, subject to Article XVII , enter into a new, Third‑Party MCI Financing for such Material Capital Improvement or use Cash to pay for such Material Capital Improvement, without any requirement to send a further Tenant’s MCI Intent Notice to Landlord, provided, that such Material Capital Improvement shall be treated hereunder as a Tenant Material Capital Improvement, unless the circumstances described in clause (1) shall have occurred.
10.5 Minimum Capital Expenditures .

(a) Minimum Capital Expenditures .

(i) Initial Minimum Cap Ex Requirement . During the Initial Minimum Cap Ex Period, Tenant shall expend Capital Expenditures in an aggregate amount equal to no less than the Initial Minimum Cap Ex Amount (the “ Initial Minimum Cap Ex Requirement ”), which Capital Expenditures shall include, without limitation, such expenditures necessary to complete the renovation and refurbishment of at least four hundred twenty-nine (429) hotel rooms and four hundred eighty-nine (489) hotel rooms at the Mardi Gras North and Mardi Gras South towers located at the Leased Property, respectively, at a standard of quality similar to the renovation and refurbishment performed by Tenant with respect to the rooms located at the Carnaval Tower.
(ii) Annual Minimum Building and Improvement Cap Ex Requirement . During each full Lease Year during the Term, commencing with the Lease Year that commences on January 1, 2022, measured as of the last day of each such Lease Year, Tenant shall expend Capital Expenditures with respect to the Leased Property (the “ Annual Minimum Building and Improvement Cap Ex Amount ”) in an aggregate that is equal to at least one percent (1%) of the sum of the Net Revenue from the Facility for the prior Lease Year on Capital Expenditures that constitute installation, restoration, repair, maintenance or replacement of any physical improvements or other

    




physical items with respect to, or for, the Leased Property under this Lease (the “ Annual Minimum Building and Improvement Cap Ex Requirement ”).
(iii) Acquisitions of Material Property . If any real property having a value greater than Fifty Million and No/100 Dollars ($50,000,000.00) is acquired by Landlord and included in this Lease as part of the Leased Property, then the Minimum Cap Ex Requirement shall be adjusted as may be agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant in connection with such acquisition and the inclusion of such property as Leased Property hereunder.
(iv) Application of Capital Expenditures . For the avoidance of doubt: (i) expenditures with respect to any property that is not included as Leased Property under this Lease shall not constitute “Capital Expenditures” nor count toward the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements and (ii) expenditures in respect of furniture, fixtures and equipment (including gaming equipment) to be installed or located at the Leased Property shall count towards the Initial Minimum Cap Ex Requirement but shall not count towards Annual Minimum Building and Improvement Cap Ex Requirement.
(v) Unavoidable Delays . In the event an Unavoidable Delay occurs during the Term that delays Tenant’s ability to perform Capital Expenditures prior to the expiration of the applicable period for satisfying the applicable Minimum Cap Ex Requirements, such period during which such Unavoidable Delay occurred shall be extended, on a day-for-day basis, for the same amount of time that such Unavoidable Delay affects Tenant’s ability to perform the Capital Expenditures up to a maximum extension in each instance of up to eighteen (18) months. For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant’s obligation to satisfy the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements during any period during which an Unavoidable Delay did not occur shall not be extended as a result of the occurrence of an Unavoidable Delay during a prior period.
(vi) Certain Remedies . The Parties acknowledge that Tenant’s agreement to satisfy the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements as required in this Lease is a material inducement to Landlord’s agreement to enter into this Lease and, accordingly, if Tenant fails to expend Capital Expenditures (or deposit funds into the Cap Ex Reserve) as and when required by this Lease and then, further, fails to cure such failure within sixty (60) days of receipt of written notice of such failure from Landlord, then the same shall be a Tenant Event of Default hereunder, and without limitation of any of Landlord’s other rights and remedies, Landlord shall have the right to seek the remedy of specific performance to require Tenant to expend the Required Capital Expenditures (or deposit funds into the Cap Ex Reserve). Furthermore, for the avoidance of doubt, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the obligation of Tenant to expend the Required Capital Expenditures (or deposit funds into the Cap Ex Reserve) as provided in this Lease in each case constitutes a part of the obligations of Tenant that are guaranteed by the Guarantor and, with respect to Required Capital Expenditures required to be spent during the Term, shall survive termination of this Lease.

(b) Cap Ex Reserve .

(i) Deposits in Lieu of Expenditures . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, if Tenant does not expend Capital Expenditures sufficient to satisfy the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements, then, so long as, as of the last date when such Minimum Cap Ex Requirements may be satisfied hereunder, there are Cap Ex Reserve Funds (as defined below) on deposit in the Cap Ex Reserve (as defined below) in an aggregate amount at least equal to such deficiency, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in breach or default of its obligations hereunder to satisfy the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements, provided that Tenant shall spend such amounts so deposited in the Cap Ex Reserve within six (6) months after the last date when the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements to which such amounts relate may be satisfied hereunder (subject to extension in the event of an Unavoidable Delay during such six (6) month period, on a day-for-day basis, for

    




the same amount of time that such Unavoidable Delay delays Tenant’s ability to perform the Capital Expenditures). For the avoidance of doubt, any funds disbursed from the Cap Ex Reserve and spent on Capital Expenditures as described in this Section shall be applied to the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements for the period for which such funds were deposited (and shall be deemed to be the funds that have been in the Cap Ex Reserve for the longest period of time) and shall not be applied to the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements for the subsequent period in which they are actually spent.

(ii) Deposits into Cap Ex Reserve . Tenant may, at its election, at any time, deposit funds (the “ Cap Ex Reserve Funds ”) into an Eligible Account held by Tenant (the “ Cap Ex Reserve ”). If required by Fee Mortgagee, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a customary and reasonable control agreement for the benefit of Fee Mortgagee and Landlord with respect to the Cap Ex Reserve. Tenant shall not commingle Cap Ex Reserve Funds with other monies held by Tenant or any other party. All interest on Cap Ex Reserve Funds shall be for the benefit of Tenant and added to and become a part of the Cap Ex Reserve and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other monies deposited in the Cap Ex Reserve. Tenant shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to the interest earned on the Cap Ex Reserve Funds credited or paid to Tenant.

(iii) Disbursements from Cap Ex Reserve . Tenant shall be entitled to use Cap Ex Reserve Funds solely for the purpose of paying for (or reimbursing Tenant for) the cost of Capital Expenditures. Landlord shall permit disbursements to Tenant of Cap Ex Reserve Funds from the Cap Ex Reserve to pay for Capital Expenditures or to reimburse Tenant for Capital Expenditures, within ten (10) days following written request from Tenant, which request shall specify the amount of the requested disbursement and a general description of the type of Capital Expenditures to be paid or reimbursed using such Cap Ex Reserve Funds. Tenant shall not make a request for disbursement from the Cap Ex Reserve (x) more frequently than once in any calendar month nor (y) in amounts less than Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000.00). Any Cap Ex Reserve Funds remaining in the Cap Ex Reserve on satisfaction of the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements for which such Cap Ex Reserve Funds were deposited or on the Expiration Date shall be returned by Landlord to Tenant, provided that Landlord shall have the right to apply Cap Ex Reserve Funds remaining on the Expiration Date against any amounts owed by Tenant to Landlord as of the Expiration Date and/or the sum of any remaining Required Capital Expenditures required to have been incurred prior to the Expiration Date.

(iv) Security Interest in Cap Ex Reserve Funds . Tenant grants to Landlord a first-priority security interest in the Cap Ex Reserve and all Cap Ex Reserve Funds, as additional security for performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Landlord shall have the right to collaterally assign the security interest granted to Landlord in the Cap Ex Reserve and Cap Ex Reserve Funds to any Fee Mortgagee. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, (i) Landlord may not foreclose upon the lien on the Cap Ex Reserve and Cap Ex Reserve Funds, and Fee Mortgagee may not apply the Cap Ex Reserve Funds against the Fee Mortgage, in each case prior to the occurrence of the termination of this Lease by Landlord pursuant to Section 16.2(x) hereof, and (ii) any time during which a Tenant Event of Default is continuing, Fee Mortgagee or Landlord may apply Cap Ex Reserve Funds toward the payment of Capital Expenditures incurred by Tenant. Landlord acknowledges that a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee may have a Lien on the Cap Ex Reserve, which Lien in favor of a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee is senior in priority to the lien thereon in favor of Landlord.


    




(c) Capital Expenditures Report . Within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month during the Term, Tenant shall submit to Landlord a report, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C  setting forth, with respect to such month, on an unaudited, basis, (A) revenues for the Leased Property, and (B) Capital Expenditures with respect to the Leased Property. Landlord shall keep each such report confidential in accordance with Section [41.15] of this Lease.

(d) Annual Capital Budget . Tenant shall furnish to Landlord, for informational purposes only, a copy of the annual capital budget for the Facility for each Fiscal Year, in each case not later than fifty-five (55) days following the commencement of the Fiscal Year to which such annual capital budget relates. For the avoidance of doubt, without limitation of Tenant’s Capital Expenditure requirements pursuant to Section 10.5(a) , Tenant shall not be required to comply with such annual capital budget and it shall not be a breach or default by Tenant hereunder in the event Tenant deviates from such annual capital budget.

ARTICLE XI

of this Lease, and, without limitation, Tenant or such lienholder shall restore the Leased Property from any damage effected by such removal); (x) liens granted as security for the obligations of Tenant and its Affiliates under a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage (and the documents relating thereto); provided, however, in no event shall the foregoing be deemed or construed to permit Tenant to encumber the Leasehold Estate (or a Subtenant to encumber its subleasehold interest) in the Leased Property or any portion thereof (other than, in each case, to a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or otherwise to the extent expressly permitted hereunder), without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion; and provided further that upon request Tenant shall be required to provide Landlord with fully executed copies of any and all Permitted Leasehold Mortgages; and (xi) except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, easements, rights-of-way, restrictions (including zoning restrictions), covenants, encroachments, protrusions and other similar charges or encumbrances, and minor title deficiencies on or with respect to the Leased Property or any portion thereof, in each case whether now or hereafter in existence, not individually or in the aggregate materially interfering with the conduct of the business on the Leased Property for the Primary Intended Use, taken as a whole. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that Tenant has not granted any liens in favor of Landlord as security for its obligations hereunder except as otherwise expressly provided under this Lease, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to prohibit the issuance of a lien on the Equity Interests in Tenant (it being agreed that any foreclosure by a lien holder on such interests in Tenant shall be subject to the restrictions on transfers of interests in Tenant and Change of Control set forth in Article XXII ) or to prohibit Tenant from pledging (A) its Accounts and other Tenant’s Property as collateral (1) in connection with financings of equipment and other purchase money indebtedness or (2) to secure Permitted Leasehold Mortgages, or (B) its Accounts and other property of Tenant (other than Tenant’s Property); provided that Tenant shall in no event pledge to any Person that is not granted a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage hereunder any of Tenant’s Property to the extent that such Tenant’s Property cannot be removed from the Leased Property without damaging or impairing the Leased Property (other than in a de minimis manner).

Such policy shall (i) name Landlord as an additional insured and “loss payee” for its interests in the Leased Property and Rent; (ii) name each Fee Mortgagee and Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee as an additional insured, and (iii) include a New York standard mortgagee clause in favor of each Fee Mortgagee and Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee. Except as otherwise set forth herein, any property insurance loss adjustment settlement associated with the Leased Property shall require the written consent of Landlord, Tenant, and each Fee Mortgagee (to the extent required under the applicable Fee Mortgage Documents) unless the amount of the loss net of the applicable deductible is less than One Hundred Million and No/100 Dollars ($100,000,000.00) in which event no consent shall be required.

(b) Property Terrorism Insurance . Property Insurance shall be maintained for acts of terrorism covered by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Authorization Act of 2015 (TRIPRA) and acts of terrorism and sabotage not certified by TRIPRA, with limits no less than One Billion Five Hundred Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,500,000,000.00) per occurrence for acts of terrorism covered by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Authorization Act of 2015 (TRIPRA) and Two Hundred Twenty-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($225,000,000.00) for acts of terrorism and sabotage not certified by TRIPRA. Both coverages shall apply to property damage and business interruption. The provisions relating to loss payees, additional insureds and mortgagee clauses set forth in Section 13.1(a) above shall also apply to the coverages required by this Section 13.1(b) . If Tenant uses one or more of its captive insurers to provide this insurance coverage, the captive(s) must secure and maintain reinsurance from one or more reinsurers for those amounts which are not insured by the Federal Government, and which are in excess of a commercially reasonable policy deductible. Such reinsurers are subject to the same minimum financial ratings set forth in Section 13.1 . In the event TRIPRA is not extended or renewed, Landlord and Tenant

    




shall mutually agree (in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 13.6 ) upon replacement insurance requirements applicable to terrorism related risks.

(c) Flood Insurance . With respect to any portion of the Leased Property that is security under a Fee Mortgage, if at any time the area in which such Leased Property is located is designated a “Special Flood Hazard Area” as designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or any successor agency), Tenant shall obtain separate flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program. Such flood insurance may be provided as part of Section 13.1(a) Property Insurance above.

(d) Workers Compensation and Employers Liability Insurance. Workers compensation insurance as required by applicable state statutes and Employers Liability.

(e) Commercial General Liability Insurance . For bodily injury, personal injury, advertising injury and property damage on an occurrence form with coverage no less than ISO Form CG 0001 or equivalent. This policy shall include the following coverages: (i) Liquor Liability; (ii) Named Peril/Time Element Pollution, to the extent commercially available to operators of properties similar to the subject Leased Property; (iii) Terrorism Liability; and (iv) a Separation of Insureds Clause.

(f) Business Auto Liability Insurance . For bodily injury and property damage arising from the ownership, maintenance or use of owned, hired and non-owned vehicles (ISO Form CA 00 01 or equivalent).

(g) Excess Liability Insurance. Excess Liability coverage shall be maintained over the required Employers Liability, Commercial General Liability and Business Auto Liability policies in an amount not less than Three Hundred Fifty Million and No/100 Dollars ($350,000,000.00) per occurrence and in the aggregate annually (where applicable). The annual aggregate limit applicable to Commercial General Liability shall apply per location. Tenant will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain coverage as broad as the underlying insurance, including Terrorism Liability coverage, so long as such coverage is available at a commercially reasonable price.

(h) Pollution Liability Insurance . For claims arising from the discharge, dispersal release or escape or any irritant or contaminant into or upon land, any structure, the atmosphere, watercourse or body of water, including groundwater. This shall include on and off-site clean up and emergency response costs and claims arising from above ground and below ground storage tanks. If this policy is provided on a “claims made” basis (i) the retroactive date shall remain as June 26, 1998 for legal liability; and (ii) coverage shall be maintained for two (2) years after the Term.

13.2 Name of Insureds . Except for the insurance required pursuant to Section 13.1(d) with respect to Workers Compensation and Employers Liability, all insurance provided by Tenant as required by this Article XIII shall include Landlord (including specified Landlord related entities as directed by Landlord) as a named insured or additional insured without restrictions beyond the restrictions that apply to Tenant and may include any Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee as an additional insured. The coverage provided to the additional insureds by Tenant’s insurance policies must be at least as broad as that provided to the first named insured on each respective policy. For avoidance of doubt, Landlord looks exclusively to Tenant’s insurance policies to protect itself from claims arising from the Leased Property and Capital Improvements. The required insurance policies shall protect Landlord against Landlord’s acts with respect to the Leased Property in the same manner that they protect Tenant against its acts with respect to the Leased Property. Except for the insurance required pursuant to Section 13.1(d) with respect to Workers Compensation and Employers Liability, the required insurance policies shall be endorsed to include others

    




as additional insureds as required by Landlord and/or the Fee Mortgage Documents and/or Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee. The insurance protection afforded to all insureds (whether named insureds or additional insureds) shall be primary and shall not contribute with any insurance or self-insurance programs maintained by such insureds (including deductibles and self-insured retentions).

13.3 Deductibles or Self-Insured Retentions . Tenant may self-insure such risks that are customarily self-insured by companies of established reputation engaged in the same general line of business in the same general area. All increases in deductibles and self-insured retentions (collectively referred to as “Deductibles” in this Article XIII ) that apply to the insurance policies required by this Article XIII are subject to approval by Landlord, with such approval not to be unreasonable withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant is solely responsible for all Deductibles related to its insurance policies. The Deductibles Tenant has in effect as of the Commencement Date satisfy the requirements of this Section as of the Commencement Date.

13.4 Waivers of Subrogation . Landlord shall not be liable for any loss or damage insured by the insurance policies required to be maintained under this Article XIII and policies issued by Tenant’s captive insurers (including related Deductibles), it being understood that (i) Tenant shall look solely to its insurance for the recovery of such loss or damage; and (ii) such insurers shall have no rights of subrogation against Landlord. Each insurance policy shall contain a clause or endorsement which waives all rights of subrogation against Landlord, Fee Mortgagees and other entities or individuals as reasonably requested by Landlord.

13.5 Limits of Liability and Blanket Policies . The insured limits of liability maintained by Tenant shall be selected by Tenant in a manner consistent with the commercially reasonable practices of similarly situated tenants engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations as the applicable Leased Property. The limits of liability Tenant has in effect as of the Commencement Date satisfy the requirements of this Section as of the Commencement Date. The insurance required by this Article XIII may be effected by a policy or policies of blanket insurance and/or by a combination of primary and excess insurance policies (all of which may insure additional properties owned, operated or managed by Tenant or its Affiliates), provided each policy shall be satisfactory to Landlord, acting reasonably, including, the form of the policy, provided such policies comply with the provisions of this Article XIII .

13.6 Future Changes in Insurance Requirements.

(a) In the event one or more additional locations become Leased Property or Capital Improvements during the Term, whether through acquisition, lease, new construction or other means, Landlord may reasonably amend the insurance requirements set forth in this Article XIII to properly address new risks or exposures to loss, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 13.6(a) . For example, for construction projects, different forms of insurance may be required, such as builders risk, and Landlord and Tenant shall mutually agree upon insurance requirements applicable to the construction contractors. Tenant and Landlord shall work together in good faith to exchange information (including proposed construction agreements) and ascertain appropriate insurance requirements prior to Tenant being required to amend its insurance under this Section 13.6(a) ; provided , however , that any revision to insurance shall only be required if the revised insurance would be customarily maintained by similarly situated tenants engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations as the applicable Leased Property. If Tenant and Landlord are unable to reach a resolution within thirty (30) days of the original notice of requested revision, the arbitration provisions set forth in Section 34.2 shall control .

    





(b) In the event that (1) the operations of Tenant change in the future, and Tenant believes adjustments in Deductibles, insured limits or coverages are warranted, (2) Tenant desires to increase one or more Deductibles, reduce limits of liability below those in place as of the Commencement Date or materially reduce coverage, or (3) not more than once during any twelve (12) month period (or more frequently in connection with a financing or refinancing of a Fee Mortgage), Landlord reasonably determines that the insurance carried by Tenant is not, for any reason (whether by reason of the type, coverage, deductibles, insured limits, the reasonable requirements of Fee Mortgagees, or otherwise) commensurate with insurance customarily maintained by similarly situated tenants engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations, the party seeking the change will advise the other party in writing of the requested insurance revision. Tenant and Landlord shall work together in good faith to determine whether the requested insurance revision shall be made; provided , however , that any revision to insurance shall only be made if the revised insurance would be customarily maintained by similarly situated tenants engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations as the applicable Leased Property. If Tenant and Landlord are unable to reach a resolution within thirty (30) days of the original notice of requested revision, the arbitration provisions set forth in Section 34.2 shall control. Solely with respect to the insurance required by Section 13.1(g) above, in no event shall the outcome of an insurance revision pursuant to this Section 13.6 require Tenant to carry insurance in an amount which exceeds the product of (i) the amounts set forth in Section 13.1(g) hereof and (ii) the CPI Increase.

13.7 Notice of Cancellation or Non-Renewal . Each required insurance policy shall contain an endorsement requiring thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord, Fee Mortgagees and Leasehold Mortgagees of any cancellation or non-renewal. Ten (10) days’ prior written notice shall be required for cancellation for non-payment of premium. Tenant shall secure replacement coverage to comply with the stated insurance requirements and provide new certificates of insurance to Landlord and others as directed by Landlord .

13.8 Copies of Documents . Tenant shall provide (i) binders evidencing renewal coverages no later than the applicable renewal date of each insurance policy required by this Article XIII ; and (ii) copies of all insurance policies required by this Article XIII (including policies issued by Tenant’s captive insurers which are in any way related to the required policies, including policies insuring Deductibles), within one hundred and twenty days (120) after inception date of each, and if additionally required, within ten (10) days of written request by Landlord. In addition, Tenant will supply documents that are related to the required insurance policies on January 1 of each calendar year during the Term and three (3) years afterwards, and as otherwise requested in writing by Landlord. Such documents shall be in formats reasonably acceptable to Landlord and include, but are not limited to, (i) statements of property value by location, (ii) risk modeling reports (e.g., named storms and earthquake), (iii) actuarial reports, (iv) loss/claims reports, (v) detailed summaries of Tenant’s insurance policies and, as respects Tenant’s captive insurers the most recent audited financial statements (including notes therein) and reinsurance agreements. Landlord shall hold the contents of the documents provided by Tenant as confidential; provided that Landlord shall be entitled to disclose the contents of such documents to its insurance consultants, attorneys, accountants and other agents in connection with the administration and/or enforcement of this Lease, and (ii) to any Fee Mortgagees, Permitted Leasehold Mortgagees and potential lenders and their respective representatives, and (iii) as may be required by applicable laws. Landlord shall utilize commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such person or entity to enter into a written agreement to maintain the confidentiality thereof for the benefit of Landlord and Tenant.

    





13.9 Certificates of Insurance . Certificates of insurance, evidencing the required insurance, shall be delivered to Landlord on the Commencement Date, annually thereafter, and upon written request by Landlord. If required by any Fee Mortgagee, Tenant shall provide endorsements and written confirmations that all premiums have been paid in full.

13.10 Other Requirements . Tenant shall comply with the following additional provisions:

(a) Except as provided in Section 13.10(b) , in the event of a catastrophic loss or multiple losses at multiple properties owned or leased directly or indirectly by CEC and that are insured by CEC, then in the case that (i) such catastrophic loss or multiple losses exhaust any per occurrence or aggregate insurance limits under the property or terrorism insurance policies required by this Article XIII , (ii) at least one (1) such property affected by the catastrophic loss(es) is the Facility hereunder, and (iii) none of the other such properties affected by the catastrophic loss(es) is a Subject Facility (as defined below), then the property and terrorism insurance proceeds received in connection with such catastrophic loss(es) shall be allocated amongst the affected properties pro-rata based on the insured values of the impacted properties, with no property receiving an allocation exceeding the loss suffered by such property.

(b) In the event of a catastrophic loss or multiple losses at multiple properties owned or leased directly or indirectly by CEC and that are insured by CEC, then in the case that at least one (1) such property is the Facility and at least one (1) other such property is a Facility under and as defined in any of the Existing Leases (each, a “ Subject Facility ”), and such catastrophic loss or multiple losses exhaust any per occurrence or aggregate insurance limits under the property or terrorism insurance policies required by this Article XIII, then each Subject Facility shall have first priority to insurance proceeds from the property policy or terrorism policy in connection with such catastrophic loss or multiple losses up to the reasonably anticipated amount of loss with respect to such Subject Facility. Any remaining proceeds shall be allocated among the Facility and any other affected properties covered by such policy of insurance or as provided in Section 13.10(a) above.

(c) In the event Tenant shall at any time fail, neglect or refuse to insure the Leased Property and Capital Improvements, or is not in full compliance with its obligations under this Article XIII , Landlord may, at its election, procure replacement insurance. In such event, Landlord shall disclose to Tenant the terms of the replacement insurance. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of such replacement insurance within thirty (30) days after Landlord pays for the replacement insurance. The cost of such replacement insurance shall be reasonable considering the then-current market.

All proceeds (except business interruption not allocated to rent expenses, if any) payable by reason of any property loss or damage to the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, under any property policy of insurance required to be carried hereunder shall be paid to Fee Mortgagee or to an escrow account held by a third party depositary reasonably acceptable to Landlord, Tenant and, if applicable, the Fee Mortgagee (in each case pursuant to an escrow agreement reasonably acceptable to the Parties and the

    




Fee Mortgagee and intended to implement the terms hereof, and made available to Tenant upon request for the reasonable costs of preservation, stabilization, restoration, reconstruction and repair, as the case may be, of any damage to or destruction of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof; provided, however, that the portion of any such proceeds that are attributable to Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent shall be applied against Rent due by Tenant hereunder; and provided, further, that if the total amount of proceeds payable net of the applicable deductibles is Twenty Million and No/100 Dollars ($20,000,000.00) or less, and, if no Tenant Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the proceeds shall be paid to Tenant and, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article XIV used for the repair of any damage to or restoration or reconstruction of the Leased Property in accordance with Section 14.2 . For the avoidance of doubt, any insurance proceeds payable by reason of (i) loss or damage to Tenant’s Property and/or Tenant Material Capital Improvements, or (ii) business interruption shall be paid directly to and belong to Tenant. Any excess proceeds of insurance remaining after the completion of the restoration or reconstruction of the Leased Property in accordance herewith shall be provided to Tenant. So long as no Tenant Event of Default is continuing, Tenant shall have the right to prosecute and settle insurance claims, provided that, in connection with insurance claims exceeding Twenty Million and No/100 Dollars ($20,000,000.00), Tenant shall consult with and involve Landlord in the process of adjusting any insurance claims under this Article XIV and any final settlement with the insurance company for claims exceeding Twenty Million and No/100 Dollars ($20,000,000.00) shall be subject to Landlord’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

14.2 Tenant’s Obligations Following Casualty .

(a) In the event of a Casualty Event with respect to the Leased Property or any portion thereof (to the extent the proceeds of insurance in respect thereof are made available to Tenant as and to the extent required under the applicable escrow agreement), (i) Tenant shall restore such Leased Property (or any applicable portion thereof, excluding, at Tenant’s election, any Tenant Material Capital Improvement, unless such Tenant Material Capital Improvement is integrated into the Facility such that the Facility could not practically or safely be operated without restoring such Tenant Material Capital Improvement, provided that with respect to such Tenant Material Capital Improvement that Tenant is not required to rebuild or restore, Tenant shall repair and thereafter maintain the portions of the Leased Property affected by the loss or damage of such Tenant Capital Improvement or Tenant Material Capital Improvement in a condition commensurate with the quality, appearance and use of the balance of the Facility and satisfying the Facility’s parking requirements) to substantially the same condition as existed immediately before such damage or otherwise in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and (ii) the damage caused by the applicable Casualty Event shall not terminate this Lease; provided, however, that if the applicable Casualty Event shall occur not more than two (2) years prior to the then-Stated Expiration Date and the cost to restore the Leased Property (excluding for avoidance of doubt any affected Tenant Material Capital Improvements that Tenant is not required to restore) to the condition immediately preceding the Casualty Event, as determined by a mutually approved contractor or architect, would equal or exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the Fair Market Ownership Value of the Facility immediately prior to the time of such damage or destruction, then each of Landlord and Tenant shall have the option, exercisable Tenant’s sole and absolute discretion, to terminate this Lease, upon written notice to the other Party hereto delivered to such other Party within thirty (30) days of the determination of the amount of damage and the Fair Market Ownership Value of the Facility and, if such option is exercised by either Landlord or Tenant, this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall not be required

    




to restore the Facility and any insurance proceeds payable as a result of the damage or destruction shall be payable in accordance with Section 14.2(c) . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if a Casualty Event occurs (and/or if the determination of the amount of damage and/or the thirty (30) day period referred to in the preceding sentence is continuing) at a time when Tenant could send a Renewal Notice (provided, for this purpose, Tenant shall be permitted to send a Renewal Notice under Section 1.4 not more than twenty-four (24) months (rather than not more than eighteen (18) months) prior to the then current Stated Expiration Date), if Tenant has elected or elects to exercise the same at any time following Tenant’s receipt of such notice of termination from Landlord, neither Landlord nor Tenant may terminate this Lease under this Section 14.2(a) .

(b) If Tenant is required to restore the affected Leased Property and the cost to restore the affected Leased Property exceeds the amount of proceeds received from the insurance required to be carried hereunder (subject to Section 14.2(e) ), then Tenant’s restoration obligations hereunder shall continue unimpaired, and Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence reasonably acceptable to Landlord that Tenant has (or is reasonably expected to have) available to it any excess amounts needed to restore the Leased Property to the condition required hereunder. Such excess amounts shall be paid by Tenant.

(c) In the event neither Landlord nor Tenant is required or elects to repair and restore the Leased Property, all insurance proceeds (except business interruption), other than proceeds reasonably attributed to any Tenant Material Capital Improvements (or other property owned by Tenant), which proceeds shall be and remain the property of Tenant, shall be paid to and retained by Landlord (after reimbursement to Tenant for any reasonably-incurred expenses in connection with the subject Casualty Event) free and clear of any claim by or through Tenant except as otherwise specifically provided below in this Article XIV .

(d) If Tenant fails to complete the restoration of the Facility and gaming operations do not recommence substantially in the same manner as prior to the applicable Casualty Event by the date that is the fourth (4 th ) anniversary of the date of any Casualty Event (subject to extension in the event of an Unavoidable Delay during such four (4) year period, on a day-for-day basis, for the same amount of time that such Unavoidable Delay delays Tenant’s ability to perform such restoration in accordance with this Section 14.2 ), then, without limiting any of Landlord’s rights and remedies otherwise, all remaining insurance proceeds shall be paid to and retained by Landlord free and clear of any claim by or through Tenant, provided, that, so long as no Tenant Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Landlord agrees to use such remaining proceeds for repair and restoration with respect to such Casualty Event.

(e) If, and solely to the extent that, the damage resulting from any applicable Casualty Event is not an insured event under the insurance policies required to be maintained by Tenant under this Lease, then Tenant shall not be obligated to restore the Leased Property in respect of the damage from such Casualty Event.

14.3 No Abatement of Rent . Except as expressly provided in this Article XIV , this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent and all Additional Charges required by this Lease shall remain unabated during any period following a Casualty Event.

14.4 Waiver . Tenant waives any statutory rights of termination which may arise by reason of any damage or destruction of the Leased Property but such waiver shall not affect any contractual rights granted to Tenant under this Lease.


    




14.5 Insurance Proceeds and Fee Mortgagee . Notwithstanding anything herein (including, without limitation, Article XXXI hereof) or in any Fee Mortgage Documents to the contrary, Landlord shall require that any Fee Mortgage Documents (including, without limitation, with respect to the Existing Fee Mortgage) shall permit Tenant to rebuild in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Lease (and any such Fee Mortgage Documents shall expressly provide that Tenant or Landlord, as applicable, is entitled to the applicable insurance proceeds in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Lease).

(b) Partial Taking . If a portion (but not all) of the Facility (and, without limitation, any Capital Improvements with respect thereto) is subject to a permanent Taking (“Partial Taking”), this Lease shall remain in effect so long as the Facility is not thereby rendered Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use, and Rent shall be adjusted in accordance with the Rent Reduction Amount with respect to the subject portion of the Facility; provided, however, that if the remaining portion of the Facility is rendered Unsuitable for Its Primary Intended Use, this Lease shall terminate as of the day before the date of such Taking or Condemnation.

If there is a Partial Taking and this Lease remains in full force and effect, Landlord shall make available to Tenant the Award to be applied first to the restoration of the Facility in accordance with this Lease and, to the extent required hereby, any affected Tenant Material Capital Improvements, and thereafter as provided in Section 15.2 . In such event, subject to receiving such Award, Tenant shall accomplish all necessary restoration in accordance with the following sentence (whether or not the amount of the Award received by Tenant is sufficient) and the Rent shall be adjusted in accordance with the Rent Reduction Amount. Tenant shall restore the Leased Property (excluding any Tenant Material Capital Improvement, unless such Tenant Material Capital Improvement is integrated into the Facility such that the Facility could not practically or safely be operated without restoring such Tenant Material Capital Improvement) as nearly as reasonably possible under the circumstances to a complete architectural unit of the same general character and condition as the Leased Property existing immediately prior to such Taking;

15.2 Award Distribution . Except as set forth below and in Section 15.1(c) hereof, the Award resulting from the Taking shall be paid as follows: (i) first, to Landlord to the extent of the Fair Market Ownership Value of Landlord’s interest in the Leased Property subject to the Taking (excluding any Tenant Material Capital Improvements), (ii) second, to Tenant to the extent of the Fair Market Property Value of Tenant’s Property and Tenant Material Capital Improvements subject to the Taking (but for avoidance of doubt, not including any amount for any unexpired portion of the Term), and (iii) third, any remaining balance shall be paid to Landlord.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (i) Landlord shall deliver all notices required pursuant to Section 16.1 concurrently to Tenant and Guarantor and (ii) a default by Tenant under any Permitted Leasehold Mortgage shall not in and of itself be a Tenant Event of Default hereunder (it being understood that if the circumstances that cause such default independently comprise a default hereunder that continues beyond all applicable notice and cure periods hereunder then such circumstances would cause a Tenant Event of Default hereunder). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Tenant shall not be in breach of this Lease solely as a result of the exercise by the party (other than Tenant, CRC, CEC or any of their respective Affiliates) to any of the Permitted Exception Documents of such party's rights thereunder so long as Tenant undertakes commercially reasonable efforts to cause such party to comply or otherwise minimize such breach, and (ii) in the event that Tenant is required, under the express terms of any Permitted Exception Document(s), to take or refrain from taking any action, and taking or refraining from taking such action would result in a default under this Lease, then Tenant shall advise Landlord of the same, and Tenant and Landlord shall reasonably cooperate in order to address the same in a mutually acceptable manner, and so as to minimize any harm or liability to Landlord and to Tenant. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall a Permitted Exception Document excuse Tenant from its obligation to pay Rent or Additional Charges.

16.2 Landlord Remedies . Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Tenant Event of Default but subject to the provisions of Article XVII , Landlord may, subject to the terms of Section 16.3 below, do any one or more of the following: (x) terminate this Lease by giving Tenant no less than ten (10) days’ notice of such termination and the Term shall terminate and all rights and obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall cease, subject to any provisions that expressly survive the Expiration Date, (y) seek damages as provided in Section 16.3 hereof or (z) except to the extent expressly otherwise provided under this Lease, exercise any other right or remedy hereunder, at law or in equity available to Landlord as a result of any Tenant Event of Default. Tenant shall pay as Additional Charges all costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of Landlord, including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses, as a result of any Tenant Event of Default hereunder. Subject to Article XIX and Section 17.1(f) hereof, at any time upon or following the Expiration Date, Tenant shall, if required by Landlord to do so, immediately surrender to Landlord possession of the Leased Property and quit the same and Landlord may enter upon and repossess such Leased Property by reasonable force, summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and may remove Tenant and all other Persons and any of Tenant’s Property therefrom.

    





(a) None of (i) the termination of this Lease, (ii) the repossession of the Leased Property, (iii) the failure of Landlord to relet the Leased Property or any portions thereof, (iv) the reletting of all or any portion of the Leased Property, or (v) the inability of Landlord to collect or receive any rentals due upon any such reletting, shall relieve Tenant of its liabilities and obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive any such termination, repossession or reletting. Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord shall have no obligation to mitigate Landlord’s damages under this Lease.

(b) If this Lease shall terminate pursuant to Section 16.2(x) or if Landlord shall obtain a court order permitting reentry following the occurrence of a Tenant Event of Default that is continuing, then, in any such event, Landlord or Landlord’s agents and employees may immediately or at any time thereafter reenter the Leased Property to the extent permitted by law (including applicable Gaming Regulations), either by summary dispossess proceedings or by any suitable action or proceeding at law, without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefor, and may repossess the same, and may remove any Person therefrom, to the end that Landlord may have, hold and enjoy the Leased Property. The words “enter,” “reenter,” “entry” and “reentry,” as used herein, are not restricted to their technical legal meanings.

16.3 Damages .

(a) If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease in writing upon a Tenant Event of Default during the Term, Tenant shall forthwith (x) pay to Landlord all Rent due and payable under this Lease to and including the date of such termination (together with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate from the date the applicable amount was due), and (y) pay on demand all damages to which Landlord shall be entitled at law or in equity, provided, however, Landlord’s damages with regard to unpaid Rent from and after the date of termination shall equal, as liquidated and agreed current damages in respect thereof, the sum of: (A) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent that (if the Lease had not been terminated) would have been payable hereunder after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (B) (x) the Rent which (if the Lease had not been terminated) would have been payable hereunder from the time of award until the then Stated Expiration Date, discounted to present value by applying a discount rate equal to the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York at the time of award, plus one percent (1%), less (y) the Rent loss from the time of the award until the then Stated Expiration Date that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided, discounted to present value by applying a discount rate equal to the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York at the time of award, plus one percent (1%). As used in clause (A), the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the Overdue Rate from the date the applicable amount was due. As used in clauses (A) and (B), Variable Rent that would have been payable after termination for the remainder of the Term shall be determined based on: (1) if the date of termination occurs during a Variable Rent Payment Period, the Variable Rent amount payable during such Variable Rent Payment Period (if the Lease had not been terminated), and (2) if the date of termination occurs prior to the commencement of any Variable Rent Payment Period, the Variable Rent that (if the Lease had not been terminated) would be payable after termination for the remainder of the Term, assuming Net Revenue for the balance of the Term equals Net Revenue for the Fiscal Period ending immediately prior to the date of termination (it being understood the foregoing calculation of damages for unpaid Rent applies only to the amount of unpaid Rent damages owed to Landlord pursuant to Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent hereunder and does not prohibit or otherwise shall not limit Landlord from seeking damages for any

    




indemnification or any other obligations of Tenant hereunder, with all such rights of Landlord reserved).

(b) Notwithstanding anything otherwise set forth herein, if Landlord chooses not to terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Leased Property (whether or not Landlord terminates this Lease) and has not been paid damages in accordance with Section 16.3(a) , then each installment of Rent and all other sums payable by Tenant to or for the benefit of Landlord under this Lease shall be payable as the same otherwise becomes due and payable, together with, if any such amount is not paid when due, interest at the Overdue Rate from the date when due until paid, and Landlord may enforce, by action or otherwise, any other term or covenant of this Lease (and Landlord may at any time thereafter terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Leased Property and seek damages under Section 16.3(a) , to the extent not already paid for by Tenant under Section 16.3(a) or this Section 16.3(b) ).

(c) If, as of the date of any termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 16.2(x) , the Leased Property shall not be in the condition in which Tenant has agreed to surrender the same to Landlord at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, then Tenant, shall pay, as damages therefor, the cost (as estimated by an independent contractor reasonably selected by Landlord) of placing the Leased Property in the condition in which Tenant is required to surrender the same hereunder.

16.4     Receiver . Subject to the rights of Permitted Leasehold Mortgagees hereunder, upon the occurrence and continuance of a Tenant Event of Default, and upon commencement of proceedings to enforce the rights of Landlord hereunder, but subject to any limitations of applicable law (including Gaming Regulations), Landlord shall be entitled, as a matter of right, to the appointment of a receiver or receivers acceptable to Landlord of the Leased Property and of the revenues, earnings, income, products and profits thereof, pending the outcome of such proceedings, with such powers as the court making such appointment shall confer.

16.5      Waiver . If Landlord initiates judicial proceedings or if this Lease is terminated by Landlord pursuant to this Article XVI , Tenant waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) any right of redemption, re-entry or repossession or similar laws for the benefit of Tenant; and (ii) the benefit of any laws now or hereafter in force exempting property from liability for rent or for debt.

16.6      Application of Funds . Any payments received by Landlord under any of the provisions of this Lease during the existence or continuance of any Tenant Event of Default which are made to Landlord rather than Tenant due to the existence of a Tenant Event of Default shall be applied to Tenant’s obligations in the order which Landlord may reasonably determine or as may be prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements.

16.7     Landlord’s Right to Cure Tenant’s Default . If Tenant shall fail to make any payment or to perform any act required to be made or performed hereunder when due including, without limitation, if Tenant fails to expend any Required Capital Expenditures as required hereunder or fails to complete any work or restoration or replacement of any nature as required hereunder, or if Tenant shall take any action prohibited hereunder, or if Tenant shall breach any representation or warranty comprising Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements (and Landlord reasonably determines that such breach could be expected to give rise to an event of default or an indemnification obligation of Landlord under the applicable Fee Mortgage), or Tenant fails to comply with any Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements (other than representations and warranties), in all cases, after the

    




expiration of any cure period provided for herein, Landlord, without waiving or releasing any obligation or default, may, but shall be under no obligation to, (i) make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Tenant (including, in the event of a breach of any such representation or warranty, taking actions to cause such representation or warranty to be true), and may, to the extent permitted by law, enter upon the Leased Property for such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, may be necessary or appropriate therefor, and (ii) subject to the terms of the applicable Fee Mortgage Documents, use funds in any Fee Mortgage Reserve Account for the purposes for which they were deposited in making any such payment or performing such act. All sums so paid by Landlord and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, so incurred, together with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate from the date on which such sums or expenses are paid or incurred by Landlord, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand as an Additional Charge.

16.8 Miscellaneous .

(a) Suit or suits for the recovery of damages, or for any other sums payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Lease, may be brought by Landlord from time to time at Landlord’s election, and nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require Landlord to await the date whereon this Lease and the Term would have expired by limitation had there been no Tenant Event of Default, reentry or termination.
(b) No failure by either Party to insist upon the strict performance of any agreement, term, covenant or condition of this Lease or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance by Landlord of full or partial Rent during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of such agreement, term, covenant or condition. No agreement, term, covenant or condition of this Lease to be performed or complied with by either Party, and no breach thereof, shall be or be deemed to be waived, altered or modified except by a written instrument executed by the Parties. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Lease, but each and every agreement, term, covenant and condition of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach thereof. In the event Landlord claims in good faith that Tenant has breached any of the agreements, terms, covenants or conditions contained in this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to seek to enjoin such breach or threatened breach and shall have the right to invoke any rights and remedies allowed at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise as though reentry, summary proceedings or other remedies were not provided for in this Lease.

(c) Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, each right and remedy of a Party provided for in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy provided for in this Lease.

(d) Nothing contained in this Article XVI or otherwise shall vitiate or limit Tenant’s obligation to pay Landlord’s attorneys’ fees as and to the extent provided in Article XXXVII hereof, or any indemnification obligations under any express indemnity made by Tenant of Landlord or of any Landlord Indemnified Parties as contained in this Lease.


ARTICLE XVII
TENANT FINANCING
17.1 Permitted Leasehold Mortgagees .


    




(a) Tenant May Mortgage the Leasehold Estate . On one or more occasions, without Landlord’s consent, Tenant may mortgage or otherwise encumber Tenant’s estate in and to the Leased Property (the “ Leasehold Estate ”) (or encumber the direct or indirect Equity Interests in Tenant) to one or more Permitted Leasehold Mortgagees under one or more Permitted Leasehold Mortgages and pledge its right, title and interest under this Lease as security for such Permitted Leasehold Mortgages or any related agreement secured thereby, provided, however, (i) in order for a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee to be entitled to the rights and benefits pertaining to Permitted Leasehold Mortgagees pursuant to this Article XVII , such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee must hold or benefit from a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage encumbering all of Tenant’s Leasehold Estate granted to Tenant under this Lease (subject to exclusions with respect to items that are not capable of being mortgaged and that, in the aggregate, are de minimis) or one hundred percent (100%) of the direct or indirect Equity Interests in Tenant at any tier of ownership, and (ii) that no Person shall be deemed to be a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee hereunder unless and until (a) such Person delivers a written agreement to Landlord providing that in the event of a termination of this Lease by Landlord pursuant to Section 16.2(x) hereof, such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee and any Persons for whom it acts as representative, agent or trustee, will not use or dispose of any Gaming License for use at a location other than at the Facility to which such Gaming License relates as of the date of the closing of a Lease Foreclosure Transaction (or, in the case of any additional facility added to this Lease after such date, as of the date that such additional facility is added to the Lease), (b) the applicable Permitted Leasehold Mortgage shall include an express acknowledgement that any exercise of remedies thereunder that would affect the Leasehold Estate shall be subject and subordinate to the terms of this Lease and (c) that any foreclosure or realization by any Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee pursuant to a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage or upon Tenant’s interest under this Lease or that would result in a transfer of all or any portion of Tenant’s interest in the Leased Property or this Lease shall in any case be subject to the applicable provisions, terms and conditions of Article XXII hereof.

(b) Notice to Landlord .

(i) If Tenant shall, on one or more occasions, mortgage Tenant’s Leasehold Estate pursuant to a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage and if the holder of such Permitted Leasehold Mortgage shall provide Landlord with written notice of such Permitted Leasehold Mortgage (which notice with respect to any Permitted Leasehold Mortgage not evidenced by a recorded security instrument, in order to be effective, shall also state (or be accompanied by a notice of Tenant stating) the relative priority of all then-effective Permitted Leasehold Mortgages noticed to Landlord under this Section and shall be consented to in writing by all then-existing Permitted Leasehold Mortgagees) together with a true copy of such Permitted Leasehold Mortgage and the name and address of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, Landlord and Tenant agree that, following receipt of such written notice by Landlord (which notice shall be accompanied by any items required pursuant to Section 17.1(a) above), the provisions of this Section 17.1 shall apply to each such Permitted Leasehold Mortgage. In the event of any assignment of a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage or in the event of a change of address of a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or of an assignee of such Permitted Leasehold Mortgage, written notice of such assignment or change of address and of the new name and address shall be provided to Landlord, and the provisions of this Section 17.1 shall continue to apply, provided such assignee is a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee.
(i) Landlord shall reasonably promptly following receipt of a communication purporting to constitute the notice provided for by subsection (b)(i) above (and such additional items requested by Landlord pursuant to the first sentence of Section 17.1(b)(iii)) acknowledge by an executed and notarized instrument receipt of such communication as constituting the notice

    




provided for by subsection (b)(i) above and confirming the status of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee as such or, in the alternative, notify Tenant and the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee of the rejection of such communication and any such items as not conforming with the provisions of this Section 17.1 and specify the specific basis of such rejection.
(ii) After Landlord has received the notice provided for by subsection (b)(i) above, Tenant upon being requested to do so by Landlord, shall with reasonable promptness provide Landlord with copies of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgage, note or other obligations secured by such Permitted Leasehold Mortgage and any other documents pertinent to the Permitted Leasehold Mortgage reasonably requested by Landlord. If requested to do so by Landlord, Tenant shall thereafter also provide Landlord from time to time with a copy of each material amendment or other modification or supplement to such instruments. All recorded documents shall be accompanied by the appropriate recording stamp or other certification of the custodian of the relevant recording office as to their authenticity as true and correct copies of official records and all nonrecorded documents shall be accompanied by a certification by Tenant that such documents are true and correct copies of the originals. From time to time upon being requested to do so by Landlord, Tenant shall also notify Landlord of the date and place of recording and other pertinent recording data with respect to such instruments as have been recorded.
(iii) Notwithstanding the requirements of this Section 17.1(b) , it is agreed and acknowledged that Tenant’s Initial Financing (and the mortgages, security agreements and/or other loan documents in connection therewith) as of the date of this Lease shall be deemed a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage Appropriate notice etc. to be addressed prior to closing and entry into this Lease. (with respect to which notice has been properly provided to Landlord pursuant to Section 17.1(b)(i) ) without the requirement that Tenant or Landlord comply with the initial requirements set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above, (but, for the avoidance of doubt, Tenant’s Initial Financing is not relieved of the requirement that it satisfy the requirements of Section 17.1(a) or the last sentence of Section 17.1(b)(i) ). In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, the Parties confirm that Tenant shall not be relieved of the requirement to comply with the final three (3) sentences of Section 17.1(b)(iii) with respect to Tenant’s Initial Financing or any other financing with a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee.

(c) Default Notice to Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee . Landlord, upon providing Tenant any notice of default under this Lease, shall at the same time provide a copy of such notice to every Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee for which notice has been properly provided to Landlord pursuant to Section 17.1(b)(i) hereof. No such notice by Landlord to Tenant shall be deemed to have been duly given unless and until a copy thereof has been sent, in the manner prescribed in Article XXXV of this Lease, to every such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee for which notice has been properly provided to Landlord pursuant to Section 17.1(b)(i) hereof. From and after the date such notice has been sent to a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall have the same period, with respect to its remedying any default or acts or omissions which are the subject matter of such notice or causing the same to be remedied, as is given Tenant after the giving of such notice to Tenant, plus in each instance, the additional periods of time specified in subsections (d) and (e) of this Section 17.1 to remedy or cause to be remedied the defaults or acts or omissions which are the subject matter of such notice specified in any such notice. Landlord shall accept such performance by or at the instigation of such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee as if the same had been done by Tenant. Tenant authorizes each such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee (to the extent such action is authorized under the applicable loan documents to which it acts as a lender, noteholder, investor, agent, trustee or representative) to take any such action at such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee’s option and does hereby authorize entry upon the Leased Property by the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee for such purpose.

    





(d) Right to Terminate Notice to Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee . Anything contained in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, if any Tenant Event of Default shall occur which entitles Landlord to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall have no right to terminate this Lease on account of such Tenant Event of Default unless Landlord shall notify every Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee for which notice has been properly provided to Landlord pursuant to Section 17.1(b) hereof that the period of time given Tenant to cure such default or act or omission has lapsed and, accordingly, Landlord has the right to terminate this Lease (“ Right to Terminate Notice ”). The provisions of subsection (e) below of this Section 17.1 shall apply if, during (x) the thirty (30) day period following Landlord’s delivery of the Right to Terminate Notice if such Tenant Event of Default is capable of being cured by the payment of money, or (y) the ninety (90) day period following Landlord’s delivery of the Right to Terminate Notice, if such Tenant Event of Default is not capable of being cured by the payment of money, any Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall:
(i) notify Landlord of such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee’s desire to nullify such Right to Terminate Notice ;
(ii) pay or cause to be paid all Rent, Additional Charges, and other payments (A) then due and in arrears as specified in the Right to Terminate Notice to such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, and (B) which may become due during such thirty (30) or ninety (90) day (as the case may be) period (as and when the same may become due); and
(iii) comply with or in good faith, with reasonable diligence and continuity, commence to comply with all nonmonetary requirements of this Lease then in default and reasonably susceptible of being complied with by such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee (e.g., defaults that are not personal to Tenant hereunder); provided, however, that such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall not be required during such ninety (90) day period to cure or commence to cure any default consisting of Tenant’s failure to satisfy and discharge any lien, charge or encumbrance against Tenant’s interest in this Lease or the Leased Property or any of Tenant’s other assets that is/are (x) junior in priority to the lien of the mortgage or other security documents held by such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee and (y) would be extinguished by the foreclosure of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgage that is held by such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee; and
(iv) during such thirty (30) or ninety (90) day period, the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall respond, with reasonable diligence, to requests for information from Landlord as to the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee’s (and related lender’s) intent to pay such Rent and other charges and comply with this Lease.

If the applicable default shall be cured pursuant to the terms and within the time periods allowed in this Section 17.1(d) , this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as if Tenant had not defaulted under the Lease. If a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall fail to take all of the actions described in this Section 17.1(d) with respect to a specific Tenant Event of Default for which the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee was provided notice prior to the deadlines set forth herein, such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall have no further rights under this Section 17.1(d) or Section 17.1(e) with respect to such Event of Default.
(e) Procedure on Default .

(i) If Landlord shall elect to terminate this Lease by reason of any Tenant Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing and a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall have proceeded in the manner provided for by subsection (d) of this Section 17.1 , the applicable cure periods available pursuant to Section 17.1(d) above shall continue to be extended so long as during such continuance:


    




(1) such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall pay or cause to be paid the Rent, Additional Charges and other monetary obligations of Tenant under this Lease as the same become due, and continue its good faith efforts to perform or cause to be performed all of Tenant’s other obligations under this Lease, excepting (A) obligations of Tenant to satisfy or otherwise discharge any lien, charge or encumbrance against Tenant’s interest in this Lease or the Leased Property or any of Tenant’s other assets that is/are (x) junior in priority to the lien of the mortgage or other security documents held by such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee and (y) would be extinguished by the foreclosure of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgage that is held by such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee and (B) past non-monetary obligations then in default and not reasonably susceptible of being cured by such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee; and

(2) subject to and in accordance with Section 22.2(ii) , if not enjoined or stayed pursuant to a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or other judicial order, such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall diligently continue to pursue acquiring or selling Tenant’s interest in this Lease and the Leased Property (or, to the extent applicable, the direct or indirect interests in Tenant) by foreclosure of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgage or other appropriate means and diligently prosecute the same to completion.

(ii) Without limitation of Tenant’s right to deliver a Renewal Notice, it is agreed that a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee also shall have the right to deliver a Renewal Notice on behalf of Tenant during any period in which such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee is complying with Section 17.1(d) or 17.1(e) .

(iii) If a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee is complying with subsection (e)(i) of this Section 17.1 , upon the acquisition of Tenant’s Leasehold Estate (or, to the extent applicable, the direct or indirect interests in Tenant) herein by such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee Designee or an assignee thereof in accordance with Section 22.2(ii) hereof, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as if Tenant had not defaulted under this Lease provided that such successor cures all outstanding defaults that can be cured through the payment of money and all other defaults that are reasonably susceptible of being cured as provided in said subsection (e)(i).

(iv) No Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall be deemed to be an assignee or transferee of this Lease or of the Leasehold Estate hereby created by virtue of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgage so as to require such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, as such, to assume the performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions on the part of Tenant to be performed hereunder; but the purchaser at any sale of this Lease (or, to the extent applicable, the purchaser of the direct or indirect interests in Tenant including a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee if it is the purchaser at foreclosure) and of the Leasehold Estate hereby created in any proceedings for the foreclosure of any Permitted Leasehold Mortgage, or the assignee or transferee of this Lease and of the Leasehold Estate hereby created (or, to the extent applicable, the direct or indirect interests in Tenant) under any instrument of assignment or transfer in lieu of the foreclosure of any Permitted Leasehold Mortgage, shall be subject to all of the provisions, terms and conditions of this Lease including, without limitation Section 22.2(ii) hereof (including, without limitation, the Tenant Transferee Requirement).


    




(v) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease, any Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee Designee or other acquirer of the Leasehold Estate of Tenant (or, to the extent applicable, the direct or indirect interests in Tenant) in accordance with the requirements of Section 22.2(ii) of this Lease pursuant to foreclosure, assignment in lieu of foreclosure or other similar proceedings of this Lease may, upon acquiring Tenant’s Leasehold Estate (or, to the extent applicable, the direct or indirect interests in Tenant), (x) sell and assign interests in the Leasehold Estate (or, to the extent applicable, the direct or indirect interests in Tenant) as and to the extent provided in this Lease, and (y) enter into Permitted Leasehold Mortgages in the same manner as the original Tenant, as and to the extent provided in this Lease, in each case under clause (x) or (y), subject to the terms of this Lease, including Article XVII and Section 22.2 hereof.

(vi) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease, any sale of this Lease and of the Leasehold Estate hereby created (or, to the extent applicable, the direct or indirect interests in Tenant) in any proceedings for the foreclosure of any Permitted Leasehold Mortgage, or the assignment or transfer of this Lease and of the Leasehold Estate hereby created (or, to the extent applicable, the direct or indirect interests in Tenant) in lieu of the foreclosure of any Permitted Leasehold Mortgage, shall, solely if and to the extent such sale, assignment or transfer complies with the requirements of Section 22.2 hereof, be deemed to be a permitted sale, transfer or assignment of this Lease.

(f) New Lease . In the event that this Lease is rejected in any bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution proceeding or is terminated by Landlord following a Tenant Event of Default other than due to a default that is subject to cure by a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee under Section 17.1(d) and Section 17.1(e) above, Landlord shall provide each Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee with written notice that this Lease has been rejected or terminated (“Notice of Termination”), and, for the avoidance of doubt, upon delivery of such Notice of Termination, no Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall have the rights as described in Section 17.1(d) and Section 17.1(e) above, but rather such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee instead shall have the rights described in this Section 17.1(f) ). Following any such rejection or termination, Landlord agrees to enter into a new lease (“ New Lease ”) of the Leased Property with such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or its Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee Designee for the remainder of the term of this Lease, effective as of the date of termination, at the rent and additional rent, and upon the terms, covenants and conditions (including all then-remaining options to renew but excluding requirements which have already been fulfilled) of this Lease, provided:

(i) such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or its Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee Designee shall comply with the terms of Section 22.2(ii) (including clauses (1) through (4) thereof);
  
(ii) such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or its Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee Designee shall make a binding, written, irrevocable commitment to Landlord for such New Lease within thirty (30) days after the date such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee receives Landlord’s Notice of Termination of this Lease given pursuant to this Section 17.1(f) ;

(iii) such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or its Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee Designee shall pay or cause to be paid to Landlord at the time of the execution and delivery of such New Lease, any and all sums which would at the time of execution and delivery thereof be due pursuant to this Lease but for such rejection or termination (including, for avoidance of doubt, any amounts that become due prior to and remain unpaid as of the date of the Notice of Termination)

    




and, in addition thereto, all reasonable expenses, including reasonable documented attorney’s fees, which Landlord shall have incurred by reason of such rejection or such termination and the execution and delivery of the New Lease and which have not otherwise been received by Landlord from Tenant or other party in interest under Tenant; and

(iv) such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or its Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee Designee shall agree to remedy any of Tenant’s defaults of which said Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee was notified by Landlord’s Notice of Termination (or in any other written notice of Landlord) and which can be cured through the payment of money or, if such defaults cannot be cured through the payment of money, are reasonably susceptible of being cured by Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or its Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee Designee.

(g) New Lease Priorities . If more than one Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall request a New Lease pursuant to subsection (f)(i) of this Section 17.1 , Landlord shall enter into such New Lease with the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee whose mortgage is senior in lien, or with its Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee Designee acting for the benefit of such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee prior in lien foreclosing on Tenant’s interest in this Lease. Landlord, without liability to Tenant or any Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee with an adverse claim, may rely upon (i) with respect to any Permitted Leasehold Mortgage evidenced by a recorded security instrument, a title insurance policy (or, if elected by Landlord in its sole discretion, a title insurance commitment, certificate of title or other similar instrument) issued by a reputable title insurance company as the basis for determining the appropriate Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee who is entitled to such New Lease or (ii) with respect to any Permitted Leasehold Mortgage not evidenced by a recorded security instrument, the statement with respect to relative priority of Permitted Leasehold Mortgages contained in the applicable notice delivered pursuant to Section 17.1(b)(i) , provided that any such statement that provides that any such Permitted Leasehold Mortgage described in this clause (ii) is senior or prior to any Permitted Leasehold Mortgage evidenced by a recorded security instrument shall only be effective to the extent it is consented to in writing by the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee in respect of such Permitted Leasehold Mortgage evidenced by a recorded security instrument.

(h) Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee Need Not Cure Specified Defaults . Nothing herein contained shall require any Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee to cure any Incurable Default in order to comply with the provisions of Sections 17.1(d) and 17.1(e) , or as a condition of entering into the New Lease provided for by Section 17.1(f) .

If, following the expiration of such ninety (90) day period, Landlord is not a Tenant Competitor and does not own a Tenant Competitor, then Tenant’s Exercise Notice shall be of no further effect in respect of such Tenant Competitor Event and Tenant shall no longer be entitled to elect the Purchase Option in connection with such Tenant Competitor Event.

(c) Notwithstanding the Purchase Option provided for in clause (a) above, and without limitation of Section 23.1(c) of this Lease, so long as Landlord becomes or acquires a Tenant Competitor, Tenant shall not be required to deliver the information required to be delivered to such Landlord pursuant to Section 23.1(b) hereof to the extent the same would give such Landlord a “competitive” advantage with respect to markets in which such Landlord and Tenant or CRC or any of their respective Affiliates might be competing at any time (it being understood that such Landlord shall retain audit rights with respect to such information to the extent required to confirm Tenant’s compliance with the terms of this Lease) (and such Landlord shall be permitted to comply with Securities Exchange Commission, Internal Revenue Service and other legal and regulatory requirements with regard to such information) and provided that appropriate measures are in place to ensure that only such Landlord’s auditors (which for this purpose shall be a “big four” firm designated by such Landlord) and attorneys (as reasonably approved by Tenant) (and not Landlord or any Affiliates of such Landlord or any direct or indirect parent company of such Landlord or any Affiliate of such Landlord) are provided access to such information or (2) to provide information that is subject to the quality assurance immunity or is subject to attorney-client privilege or the attorney work product doctrine.

Fee Mortgage upon all of the Leased Property (other than de minimis portions thereof that are not capable of being assigned or transferred) (or upon interests in Landlord which are pledged pursuant to a mezzanine loan or similar financing arrangement). This Lease is and at all times shall be subordinate to any Existing Fee Mortgage and any other Fee Mortgage which may hereafter affect the Leased Property or any portion thereof or interest therein and in each case to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, restatements and extensions thereof or any parts or portions thereof; provided, however, that the subordination of this Lease and Tenant’s leasehold interest hereunder to any new Fee Mortgage hereafter made, shall be conditioned and occur only upon the execution and delivery to Tenant by the respective Fee Mortgagee of a commercially reasonable subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement that is reasonably acceptable to Tenant, which will bind Tenant and such Fee Mortgagee and its successors and assigns as well as any person who acquires any portion of the Leased Property in a foreclosure or similar proceeding or in a transfer in lieu of any such foreclosure or a successor owner of the Leased Property (each, a “Foreclosure Purchaser”) and which shall provide, among other things, that so long as there is no outstanding and continuing Tenant Event of Default under this Lease (or, if there is a continuing Tenant Event of Default, subject to the rights granted to a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee as expressly set forth in this Lease), the holder of such Fee Mortgage, and any Foreclosure Purchaser shall not disturb Tenant’s leasehold interest or possession of the Leased Property, subject to and in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall give effect to this Lease, including, but not limited to, the provisions of Article XVII which benefit any Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee (as if such Fee Mortgagee or Foreclosure Purchaser were the landlord under this Lease (it being understood that if a Tenant Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time, such parties shall be subject to the terms and provisions hereof concerning the exercise of rights and remedies upon such Tenant Event of Default including the provisions of Articles XVI , XVII and XXVI )). In connection with the foregoing and at the request of Landlord, Tenant shall promptly execute a subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement that contains commercially reasonable provisions, terms and conditions and that is reasonably acceptable to Tenant and Landlord, in all events complying with this Section 31.1 . In connection with any subsequent Fee Mortgage, as a condition to the Fee Mortgagee holding any Fee Mortgage Reserve Accounts, Tenant and such Fee Mortgagee shall have entered into a subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement as provided in this Section 31.1(a).

b. If, in connection with obtaining any Fee Mortgage or entering into any agreement relating thereto, Landlord shall request in writing (i) reasonable cooperation from Tenant or (ii) reasonable amendments or modifications to this Lease, in each case required to comply with any reasonable request made by Fee Mortgagee, Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with such request, so long as (I) no default in any material respect by Landlord beyond applicable cure periods is continuing, (II) all reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with such cooperation, including, but not limited to, its reasonable documented attorneys’ fees, shall be paid by Landlord and (III) any requested action, including any amendments or modification of this Lease, shall not (a) increase Tenant’s monetary obligations under this Lease by more than a de minimis extent, or increase Tenant’s non-monetary obligations under this Lease in any material respect or decrease Landlord’s obligations in any material respect, (b) diminish Tenant’s rights under this Lease in any material respect, (c) adversely impact the value of the Leased Property by more than a de minimis extent or otherwise have a more than de minimis adverse effect on the Leased Property, Tenant or Landlord, (d) result in this Lease not constituting a “true lease”, or (e) result in a default under any Permitted Leasehold Mortgage.

31.3 Compliance with Fee Mortgage Documents .

a. Tenant acknowledges that any Fee Mortgage Documents executed by Landlord or any Affiliate of Landlord may impose certain obligations on the “borrower” or other counterparty thereunder to comply with, or cause the operator and/or lessee of the Leased Property to comply with, certain reasonable covenants contained therein, including, without limitation, covenants relating to (i) the alteration, maintenance, repair and restoration of the Leased Property; (ii) maintenance and submission of financial records and accounts of the operation of the Leased Property and financial and other information regarding the operator and/or lessee of the Leased Property and the Leased Property itself and other portions of the Facility; (iii) the procurement of insurance policies with respect to the Leased Property; (iv) removal of liens and encumbrances; (v) subleasing, management and related activities; and (vi) without limiting the foregoing, compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements (including Gaming Regulations) relating to the Leased Property and the operation of the business thereon or therein. From and after the date any Fee Mortgage encumbers the Leased Property (or any portion thereof or interest therein), and Landlord has provided Tenant with true and complete copies thereof and, if Landlord elects, of any applicable Fee Mortgage Documents (for informational purposes only, but not for Tenant’s approval), accompanied by a written request for Tenant to comply with the Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements (hereinafter defined) (which request shall expressly reference this Section 31.3 and expressly identify the Fee Mortgage Documents and sections thereof containing the Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements), and continuing until the first to occur of (1) such Fee Mortgage Documents ceasing to remain in full force and effect by reason of satisfaction in full of the indebtedness thereunder or foreclosure or similar exercise of remedies or otherwise), (2) the Expiration Date, (3) such time as Tenant’s compliance with the Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements would constitute or give rise to a breach or violation of (x) this Lease, and not otherwise waived by Landlord, (y) Legal Requirements (including Gaming Regulations and Liquor Laws), or (z) any Permitted Leasehold Mortgage (not waived by the applicable Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee), provided, however, with respect to this clause (z), Tenant shall not be relieved of its obligation to comply with (A) the terms of the Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements in effect as of the Commencement Date (whether embodied in the Existing Fee Mortgage or related Fee Mortgage Documents or in any future Fee Mortgage or related Fee Mortgage Documents containing the applicable corresponding terms), nor (B) any Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements (other than any Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements covered under the preceding clause (A)) in effect as of the time when the Permitted Leasehold Mortgage was obtained, and (4) Tenant receives written direction from Landlord, any Fee Mortgagee or any governmental authority requesting or instructing Tenant to cease complying with the Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements, (provided, prior to ceasing compliance with any Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements under the preceding clauses (3) and (4), Tenant shall first provide Landlord with prior written notice together with, (x) if acting pursuant to clause (3), reasonably detailed materials evidencing that such compliance constitutes such a breach, and (y) if acting pursuant to clause (4), a copy of the applicable communication(s) from such Fee Mortgagee or governmental authority, as applicable, and Tenant shall in such event

    




only cease compliance with the specific Additional Fee Mortgage Requirements in question under clause (3) or that are covered by the written direction under clause (4), as applicable) (such time period, the “Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements Period”), Tenant covenants and agrees, at its sole cost and expense and for the express benefit of Landlord (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, any Fee Mortgagee, which shall not be construed to be a third-party beneficiary of this Lease, provided, however, this parenthetical provision is not intended to vitiate Tenant’s obligation to perform any or all of the Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements directly for the benefit of any Fee Mortgagee as and to the extent agreed to by Tenant in an agreement entered into directly between Tenant and such Fee Mortgagee), to operate the Leased Property (or cause the Leased Property to be operated) in compliance with the Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements of which it has received written notice. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Tenant shall not be required to comply with and shall not have any other obligations with respect to any terms or conditions of, or amendments or modifications to, any Fee Mortgage or other Fee Mortgage Documents that do not constitute Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements; provided , however , that the foregoing shall not be deemed to release Tenant from its obligations under this Lease that do not derive from the Fee Mortgage Documents, whether or not such obligations are duplicative of those set forth in the Fee Mortgage Documents.

b. As used herein, “ Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements ” means those customary requirements as to the operation of the Leased Property and the business thereon or therein which the Fee Mortgage Documents impose (x) directly upon, or require Landlord (or Landlord’s Affiliate borrower thereunder) to impose upon, the tenant(s) and/or operator(s) of the Leased Property or (y) directly upon Landlord, but which, by reason of the nature of the obligation(s) imposed and the nature of Tenant’s occupancy and operation of the Leased Property and the business conducted thereupon, are not reasonably susceptible of being performed by Landlord and are reasonably susceptible of being performed by Tenant (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any indebtedness or other obligations evidenced or secured thereby) and, except with respect to the Existing Fee Mortgage Appropriate notice etc. to be addressed prior to closing and entry into this Lease. (of which Tenant is deemed to have received written notice) of which Tenant has received written notice; provided , however , that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements shall not include or impose on Tenant (and Tenant will not be subject to) obligations which (a) are not customary for Landlord financings of the type contemplated under the applicable Fee Mortgage Documents, (b) increase Tenant’s monetary obligations under this Lease to more than a de minimis extent (it being agreed that making Rent payments otherwise payable to Landlord into a “lockbox” account designated by a Fee Mortgagee shall not be deemed to increase Tenant’s monetary obligations under the Lease), (c) increase Tenant’s non-monetary obligations under this Lease in any material respect, or (d) diminish Tenant’s rights under this Lease in any material respect (it being agreed that none of the provisions, terms and conditions of the Existing Fee Mortgage Documents violate any of the preceding clauses (a) through (d)).

c. Any proposed implementation of any additional financial covenants (i.e., a requirement that Tenant must meet certain specified performance tests of a financial nature, e.g., meeting a threshold EBITDAR, Net Revenue, financial ratio or similar test) that are imposed on Tenant shall not constitute Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements (it being understood that Landlord may agree to such financial covenants being imposed in any Fee Mortgage Documents so long as such financial covenants will not impose additional obligations on Tenant to comply therewith). For the avoidance of doubt, Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements may include (to the extent consistent with the foregoing definition of Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements) requirements of Tenant to:


    




(ix) make Rent payments into “lockbox accounts” maintained for the benefit of Fee Mortgagee; and/or

(x) subject to this Section 31.3 , perform other actions consistent with the obligations described in the first sentence of this Section 31.3

d. In the event Tenant breaches its obligations to comply with Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements as described herein (without regard to any notice or cure period under the Fee Mortgage Documents and without regard to whether a default or event of default has occurred as a result thereof under the Fee Mortgage Documents), Landlord shall have the right, following the failure of Tenant to cure such breach within twenty (20) days from receipt of written notice to Tenant from Landlord of such breach (except to the extent the breach is of a nature such that it is not practicable for Landlord to provide such prior written notice, in which event Landlord shall provide written notice as soon as practicable), to cure such breach, in which event Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with curing such breach.

e. To the extent of any conflict between the terms and provisions of any agreement to which Landlord, Tenant and Fee Mortgagee are parties and the terms and provisions of this Section 31.3, the terms and provisions of such agreement shall govern and control in accordance with its terms.

Tenant’s indemnity hereunder shall survive the termination of this Lease, but in no event shall Tenant’s indemnity apply to Environmental Costs incurred in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or incident to matters first occurring after the later of (x) the end of the Term and (y) the date upon which Tenant shall have vacated the Leased Property and surrendered the same to Landlord, in each case to the extent such matters are not or were not caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant in breach of this Lease.

Without limiting the scope or generality of the foregoing, Tenant expressly agrees that, in the event of a breach by Tenant in its obligations under Sections 32.1 - 32.3 that is not cured within any applicable cure period, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or incident to (directly or indirectly, before or during (but not if first occurring after) the Term) the following:

32.5      Environmental Inspections . In the event Landlord has a reasonable basis to believe that Tenant is in breach of its obligations under Sections 32.1 through 32.4 , Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, during normal business hours and upon not less than five (5) Business Days written notice to Tenant (except in the case of an emergency that constitutes an imminent threat to human health or safety or damage to property, in which event Landlord shall undertake reasonable efforts to notify a representative of Tenant as soon as practicable under the circumstances), to conduct an inspection of the Leased Property or any portion thereof (and Tenant shall be permitted to have Landlord or its representatives accompanied by a representative of Tenant) to determine the existence or presence of Hazardous Substances on or about the Leased Property or any portion thereof.

34.1 Expert Valuation Process . Whenever a determination of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value is required pursuant to any provision of this Lease, and where Landlord and Tenant have not been able to reach agreement on such Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value either (i) with respect to Fair Market Rental Value applicable to a Renewal Term, within three hundred seventy (370) days prior to the commencement date of a Renewal Term or (ii) for all other purposes, after at least fifteen (15) days of good faith negotiations, then either Party shall each have the right to seek, upon written notice to the other Party (the “ Expert Valuation Notice ”), which notice clearly identifies that such Party seeks, to have such Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value determined in accordance with the following Expert Valuation Process:

a. Within twenty (20) days of the receiving Party’s receipt of the Expert Valuation Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall provide notice to the other Party of the name, address and other pertinent contact information, and qualifications of its selected appraiser (which appraiser must be an independent qualified MAI appraiser (i.e., a Member of the Appraisal Institute)).

b. As soon as practicable following such notice, and in any event within twenty (20) days following their selection, each appraiser shall prepare a written appraisal of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) as of the relevant date of valuation, and deliver the same to its respective client. Representatives of the Parties shall then meet and simultaneously exchange copies of such appraisals. Following such exchange, the appraisers shall promptly meet and endeavor to agree upon Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) based on a written appraisal made by each of them (and given to Landlord by Tenant). If such two appraisers shall agree upon a Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value, as applicable, such agreed amount shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant.

c. If such two appraisers are unable to agree upon a Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) within five (5) Business Days after the exchange of appraisals as aforesaid, then such appraisers shall

    




advise Landlord and Tenant of the same and, within twenty (20) days of the exchange of appraisals, select a third appraiser (which third appraiser, however selected, must be an independent qualified MAI appraiser) to make the determination of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value. The selection of the third appraiser shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant.

d. If such two appraisers shall be unable to agree upon the designation of a third appraiser within the twenty (20) day period referred to in clause (c) above, or if such third appraiser does not make a determination of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) within thirty (30) days after his or her selection, then such third appraiser (or a substituted third appraiser, as applicable) shall, at the request of either Party, be appointed by the Appointing Authority and such appointment shall be final and binding on Landlord and Tenant. The determination of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) made by the third appraiser appointed pursuant hereto shall be made within twenty (20) days after such appointment.

e. If a third appraiser is selected, Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) shall be the average of (x) the determination of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) made by the third appraiser and (y) the determination of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) made by the appraiser (selected pursuant to Section 34.1(b) ) whose determination of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) is nearest to that of the third appraiser. Such average shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant as being the Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be).

f. In determining Fair Market Ownership Value of the Leased Property as a whole, the appraisers shall (in addition to taking into account the criteria set forth in the definition of Fair Market Ownership Value), add (i) the present value of the Rent for the remaining Term, assuming the Term has been extended for all Renewal Terms provided herein (with assumed increases in the CPI to be determined by the appraisers) using a discount rate (which may be determined by an investment banker retained by each appraiser) based on the credit worthiness of Tenant and any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations hereunder and (ii) the present value of the Leased Property as of the end of such Term (having assumed the Term has been extended for all extension periods provided herein). The appraisers shall further assume that no default then exists under the Lease, that Tenant has complied (and will comply) with all provisions of the Lease, and that no default exists under any guaranty of Tenant’s obligations hereunder.

g. In determining Fair Market Rental Value, the appraisers shall (in addition to the criteria set forth in the definition thereof) take into account: (i) the age, quality and condition (as required by the Lease) of the Improvements; (ii) that the Leased Property will be leased as a whole or substantially as a whole to a single user; (iii) when determining the Fair Market Rental Value for any Renewal Term, a lease term of five (5) years together with such options to renew as then remains hereunder; (iv) an absolute triple net lease; and (v) such other items that professional real estate appraisers customarily consider.

h. [Reserved].


    




i. If, by virtue of any delay, Fair Market Rental Value is not determined by the first (1 st ) day of the applicable Renewal Term, then until Fair Market Rental Value is determined, Tenant shall continue to pay Rent during the succeeding Renewal Term in the same amount which Tenant was obligated to pay prior to the commencement of the Renewal Term. Upon determination of Fair Market Rental Value, Rent shall be calculated retroactive to the commencement of the Renewal Term and Tenant shall either receive a refund from Landlord (in the case of an overpayment) or shall pay any deficiency to Landlord (in the case of an underpayment) within thirty (30) days of the date on which the determination of Fair Market Rental Value becomes binding.

j. The cost of the procedure described in this Section 34.1 shall be borne equally by the Parties and the Parties will reasonably coordinate payment; provided, that if Landlord pays such costs, fifty percent (50%) of such costs shall be Additional Charges hereunder and if Tenant pays such costs, fifty percent (50%) of such costs shall be a credit against the next Rent payment hereunder.

34.2 Arbitration . In the event of a dispute with respect to this Lease pursuant to an Arbitration Provision, or in any case when this Lease expressly provides for the settlement or determination of a dispute or question by an Expert pursuant to this Section 34.2 (in any such case, a “ Section 34.2 Dispute ”) such dispute shall be determined in accordance with an arbitration proceeding as set forth in this Section 34.2 .

The Arbitration Panel shall be selected as set forth in this Section 34.2(b) . If a Section 34.2 Dispute arises and if Landlord and Tenant are not able to resolve such dispute after at least fifteen (15) days of good faith negotiations, then either Party shall each have the right to submit the dispute to the Arbitration Panel, upon written notice to the other Party (the “ Arbitration Notice ”). The Arbitration Notice shall identify one member of the Arbitration Panel who meets the criteria of the above paragraph. Within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of the Arbitration Notice, the Party receiving such Arbitration Notice shall respond in writing identifying one member of the Arbitration Panel who meets the criteria of the above paragraph. Such notices shall include the name, address and other pertinent contact information, and qualifications of its member of the Arbitration Panel. If a Party fails to timely select its respective panel member, the other Party may notify such Party in writing of such failure, and if such Party fails to select its respective panel member within three (3) Business Days after receipt of such notice, then such other Party may select and identify to such Party such panel member on such Party’s behalf. The third member of the Arbitration Panel will be selected by the two (2) members of the Arbitration Panel who were selected by Landlord and Tenant; provided , that if, within five (5) Business Days after they are identified, they fail to select a third member, or if they are unable to agree on such selection, Landlord and Tenant shall cause the third member of the Arbitration Panel to be appointed by the managing officer of the American Arbitration Association.
(b) Within ten (10) Business Days after the selection of the Arbitration Panel, Landlord and Tenant each shall submit to the Arbitration Panel a written statement identifying its summary of the issues. Landlord and Tenant may also request an evidentiary hearing on the merits in addition to the submission of written statements. The Arbitration Panel shall make its decision within twenty (20) days after the later of (i) the submission of such written statements, and (ii) the conclusion of any evidentiary hearing on the merits. The Arbitration Panel shall reach its decision by majority vote and shall communicate its decision by written notice to Landlord and Tenant.

(c) [Reserved]

    





(d) The decision by the Arbitration Panel shall be final, binding and conclusive and shall be non-appealable and enforceable in any court having jurisdiction. All hearings and proceedings held by the Arbitration Panel shall take place in New York, New York unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties and the Arbitration Panel.

(e) The resolution procedure described herein shall be governed by the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association and the Procedures for Large, Complex, Commercial Disputes in effect as of the Commencement Date.

END OF TERM SUCCESSOR ASSET TRANSFER

36.1     Transfer of Tenant’s Property and Operational Control of the Facility . Upon the written request (an “ End of Term Asset Transfer Notice ”) of Landlord in connection with the expiration of this Lease on the Stated Expiration Date or the earlier termination of the Term, or of Tenant in connection with a termination of this Lease that occurs (i) on the Stated Expiration Date, or (ii) in the event Landlord exercises its right to terminate this Lease or repossess the Leased Property in accordance with the terms of this Lease and, provided in each of the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) that Tenant complies with the provisions of Section 36.3 , Tenant shall transfer (or cause to be transferred) upon the expiration of the Term, or as soon thereafter as Landlord shall request, the business operations (which will include a two (2) year transition license for Property Specific IP used at or in connection with the Facility) conducted by Tenant and its Subsidiaries at the Facility (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all Tenant’s Property relating to the Facility but excluding (x) each license, permit, sublease, concession or contract, the transfer of which would

    




constitute a breach or default under or violate such license, permit, sublease, concession or contract and (y) all Intellectual Property (other than Property Specific IP to the extent provided in Section 36.4 ) (collectively, the “ Excluded Items ”) (collectively the “ Successor Assets ”) to a successor lessee or operator (or lessees or operators) of the Facility (collectively, the “ Successor Tenant ”) designated pursuant to Section 36.3 for consideration to be received by Tenant (or its Subsidiaries) from the Successor Tenant in an amount equal to the fair market value of such business operations (which will include a two (2) year transition license for the Property Specific IP used at or in connection with the Facility) conducted at the Facility and Tenant’s Property (including any Tenant Capital Improvements not funded by Landlord in accordance with Section 10.3 and excluding all Excluded Items) (the “ Successor Assets FMV ”) as negotiated and agreed by Tenant and the Successor Tenant; provided, however, that in the event an End of Term Asset Transfer Notice is delivered hereunder, then notwithstanding the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, until such time that Tenant transfers the business operations conducted at the Facility and Tenant’s Property (but excluding the Excluded Items) to a Successor Tenant, Tenant shall (or shall cause its Subsidiaries, if applicable, to) continue to possess and operate the Facility (and Landlord shall permit Tenant to maintain possession of the Leased Property (including, if necessary, by means of a written extension of this Lease or license agreement or other written agreement) to the extent necessary to operate the Facility) in accordance with the applicable terms of this Lease and the course and manner in which Tenant (or its Subsidiaries) has operated the Facility prior to the end of the Term (including, but not limited to, the payment of Rent hereunder) which shall be calculated as provided in this Lease, except, that for any period following the last day of the calendar month in which the thirty-fifth (35 th ) anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs, the Rent shall be a per annum amount equal to the sum of (A) the amount of the Base Rent hereunder during the Lease Year in which the Expiration Date occurs, multiplied by the Escalator, and increased on each anniversary of the Expiration Date to be equal to the Rent payable for the immediately preceding year, multiplied by the Escalator, plus (B) the amount of the Variable Rent hereunder during the Lease Year in which the Expiration Date occurs (the period described in this proviso, the “Transition Period”). If Tenant and a potential Successor Tenant designated by Landlord cannot agree on the Successor Assets FMV within a reasonable time not to exceed thirty (30) days after receipt of an End of Term Asset Transfer Notice hereunder, then such Successor Assets FMV shall be determined, and Tenant’s transfer of the Successor Assets to a Successor Tenant in consideration for a payment in such amount shall be determined and transferred, in accordance with the provisions of Section 36.1 .

36.2     [Reserved]

36.3 Determination of Successor Lessee and Successor Assets FMV . If not effected pursuant to Section 36.1 , then the determination of the Successor Assets FMV and the transfer of Tenant’s Property (but excluding the Excluded Items) to a Successor Tenant in consideration for the Successor Assets FMV shall be effected by (i) first , determining in accordance with Section 36.1(a) the rent that Landlord would be entitled to receive from Successor Tenant assuming a lease term of ten (10) years (the “ Successor Tenant Rent ”) pursuant to a lease agreement containing substantially the same terms and conditions of this Lease (other than, in the case of a new lease at the end of the final Renewal Term, the terms of this Article XXXVI , which will not be included in such new lease), (ii) second , identifying and designating in accordance with the terms of Section 36.3(b) , a pool of qualified potential Successor Tenants (each, a “ Qualified Successor Tenant ”) prepared to lease the Facility at the Successor Tenant Rent and to bid for the business operations conducted at the Facility and Tenant’s Property (but excluding the Excluded Items), and (iii) third , in accordance with the terms of Section 36.3(c) , determining the highest price a Qualified Successor Tenant would agree to pay for Tenant’s Property and setting such highest price as the Successor Assets FMV in exchange for which Tenant shall be required to transfer Tenant’s Property (but

    




excluding the Excluded Items) and Landlord will enter into a lease with such Qualified Successor Tenant on substantially the same terms and conditions of this Lease (other than, in the case of a new lease at the end of the final Renewal Term, the terms of this Article XXXVI , which will not be included in such new lease) through the remaining term of this Lease (assuming that this Lease will not have terminated prior to its natural expiration at the end of the final Renewal Term) or ten (10) years, whichever is greater for a rent calculated pursuant to Section 36.3(a) hereof. Notwithstanding anything in the contrary in this Article XXXVI , the transfer of the Successor Assets will be conditioned upon the approval of the applicable regulatory agencies of the transfer of the Gaming Licenses and any other Gaming assets to the Successor Tenant and/or the issuance of new Gaming Licenses as required by applicable Gaming Regulations and the relevant regulatory agencies both with respect to operating and suitability criteria, as the case may be.
(a) Determining Successor Tenant Rent . Landlord and Tenant shall first attempt to agree on the amount of Successor Tenant Rent that it will be assumed Landlord will be entitled to receive for a term of ten (10) years and pursuant to a lease containing substantially the same terms and conditions of this Lease (other than, in the case of a new lease at the end of the final Renewal Term, the terms of this Article XXXVI , which will not be included in such new lease). If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree on the Successor Tenant Rent amount within a reasonable time not to exceed sixty (60) days after receipt of an End of Term Asset Transfer Notice hereunder, then the Successor Tenant Rent shall be set as follows:
i. for the period preceding the last day of the calendar month in which the thirty-fifth (35 th ) anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs, then the annual Successor Tenant Rent shall be an amount equal to the annual Rent that would have accrued under the terms of this Lease for such period (assuming the Lease will have not been terminated prior to its natural expiration); and
ii. for the period following the last day of the calendar month in which the thirty-fifth (35 th ) anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs, then the Successor Tenant Rent shall be calculated in the same manner as Rent is calculated under this Lease (but in no event will the Rent be less than the Rent that would otherwise be payable under this Lease), provided, that for any period following the last day of the calendar month in which the thirty-fifth (35 th ) anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs, the Rent shall be a per annum amount equal to the sum of (A) the amount of the Base Rent hereunder during the Lease Year in which the Expiration Date occurs, multiplied by the Escalator, and increased on each anniversary of the Expiration Date to be equal to the Rent payable for the immediately preceding year, multiplied by the Escalator, plus (B) the amount of the Variable Rent hereunder during the Lease Year in which the Expiration Date occurs, subject to a reset at the end of the first subsequent five year period consistent with the Variable Rent adjustments performed under this Lease at the commencement of each Renewal Period.

(b) Designating Potential Successor Tenants . Landlord will select one and Tenant will select three (for a total of up to four) potential Qualified Successor Tenants prepared to lease the Facility for the Successor Tenant Rent, each of whom must meet the criteria established for a Qualified Transferee (and none of whom may be Tenant or an Affiliate of Tenant (it being understood and agreed that there shall be no restriction on Landlord or any Affiliate of Landlord from being a potential Qualified Successor Tenant), except in the case of termination of the Lease on the last day of the calendar month in which the thirty-fifth (35 th ) anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs). Landlord and Tenant must designate their proposed Qualified Successor Tenants within ninety (90) days after receipt of an End of Term Asset Transfer Notice hereunder. In the event that Landlord or Tenant fails to designate such party’s allotted number of potential Qualified Successor Tenants, the other party may designate additional potential Qualified Successor Tenants such that the total number of potential Qualified Successor Tenants does not

    




exceed four; provided that, in the event the total number of potential Qualified Successor Tenants is less than four, the transfer process will still proceed as set forth in Section 36.3(c) below.

(c) Determining Successor Assets FMV . Tenant will have a three (3) month period to negotiate an acceptable sales price for Tenant’s Property with one of the Qualified Successor Tenants, which three (3) month period will commence immediately upon the conclusion of the steps set forth above in Section 36.3(b) . If Tenant does not reach an agreement prior to the end of such three (3) month period, Landlord shall conduct an auction for Tenant’s Property among the four potential successor lessees, and Tenant will be required to transfer Tenant’s Property (but excluding the Excluded Assets) to the highest bidder.

36.4      Operation Transfer . Upon designation of a Successor Tenant (pursuant to either Section 36.1 or 36.2 , as the case may be), Tenant shall reasonably cooperate and take all actions reasonably necessary (including providing all reasonable assistance to Successor Tenant) to effectuate the transfer of the Successor Assets and operational control of the Facility to Successor Tenant in an orderly manner so as to minimize to the maximum extent feasible any disruption to the continued orderly operation of the Facility for their respective Primary Intended Use. Concurrently with the transfer of the Successor Assets to Successor Tenant, (i) (other than, in the case of the transfer of the Successor Assets in connection with Landlord’s exercising its right to terminate this Lease or repossess the Leased Property in accordance with the terms of this Lease, such Subleases that Landlord is not obligated to assume) Tenant shall assign (and Successor Tenant shall assume) any then-effective Subleases or other agreements (to the extent such other agreements are assignable) relating to the Leased Property, (ii) Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Leased Property to Landlord and/or Successor Tenant in the condition required under this Lease, and (iii) Tenant shall, and effective as of the Stated Expiration Date or earlier termination of the Term hereby does, transfer and assign to Landlord or any Successor Tenant (as directed by Landlord) a complete copy of all Property Specific Guest Data, in standard CSV format or other format reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, collected or held by, or otherwise in possession or control of, and/or owned by, Affiliated manager and/or Tenant, current as of the transition completion date, following which such transfer and assignment, both the Successor Tenant and Tenant (or Affiliated manager, to the extent such Property Specific Guest Data was owned by affiliated Manager instead of Tenant prior to such transfer) shall each own one hundred percent (100%) of their respective copy of the Property Specific Guest Data, free and clear and without any restrictions whatsoever; provided that use of such transferred and assigned Property Specific Guest Data shall be in compliance with Applicable Law. Notwithstanding the expiration of the Term and anything to the contrary herein, to the extent that this Article XXXVI applies, unless Landlord consents to the contrary, until such time that Tenant transfers the Successor Assets and operational control of the Facility to a Successor Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this Article XXXVI , Tenant shall (or shall cause its Subsidiaries to) continue to (and Landlord shall permit Tenant to maintain possession of the Leased Property to the extent necessary to) operate the Facility in accordance with the applicable terms of this Lease and the course and manner in which Tenant (or its Subsidiaries) has operated the Facility prior to the end of the Term (including, but not limited to, the payment of Rent hereunder). Concurrently with the transfer of the Successor Assets to Successor Tenant, Landlord and Successor Tenant shall execute a new Lease in accordance with the terms as set forth in the final clause of the first sentence of Section 36.3 hereof.


ARTICLE XXXVII

LANDLORD REIT PROTECTIONS

(a)    The Parties intend that Rent and other amounts paid by Tenant hereunder will qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto and this Lease shall be interpreted consistent with this intent.

(b)    Anything contained in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall not without Landlord’s advance written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) (i) sublet, assign or enter into a management arrangement for the Leased Property on any basis such that the rental or other amounts to be paid by the subtenant, assignee or manager thereunder would be based, in whole or in part, on either (x) the income or profits derived by the business activities of the subtenant, assignee or manager or (y) any other formula such that any portion of any amount received by Landlord could reasonably be expected to cause any portion of the amounts to fail to qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto; (ii) furnish or render any services to the subtenant, assignee or manager or manage or operate the Leased Property so subleased, assigned or managed; (iii) sublet, assign or enter into a management arrangement for the Leased Property to any Person (other than a “taxable REIT subsidiary” (within the meaning of Section 856(l) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto) of Landlord REIT) in which Tenant, Landlord or PropCo owns an interest, directly or indirectly (by applying constructive ownership rules set forth in Section 856(d)(5) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto); or (iv) sublet, assign or enter into a management arrangement for the Leased Property in any other manner which could reasonably be expected to cause any portion of the amounts received by Landlord pursuant to this Lease or any Sublease to fail to qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto, or which could cause any other income of Landlord to fail to qualify as income described in Section 856(c)(2) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto. As of the end of each Fiscal Quarter during the Term, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a certification, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H , stating that Tenant has reviewed its transactions during such Fiscal Quarter and certifying that Tenant is in compliance with the provisions of this Article XL .

A.      Landlord and Harrah’s Las Vegas LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“ Tenant ”) have entered into that certain Lease dated of even date herewith (as may be amended, restated, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ Lease ”). All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings given such terms in the Lease.
B.      Guarantor is an affiliate of Tenant, will derive substantial benefits from the Lease and acknowledges and agrees that this Guaranty is given in accordance with the requirements of the Lease and that Landlord would not have been willing to enter into the Lease unless Guarantor was willing to execute and deliver this Guaranty.
AGREEMENTS

    




NOW , THEREFORE , in consideration of Landlord entering into the Lease with Tenant, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor agrees as follows:
(1) Guaranty . In consideration of the benefit derived or to be derived by it therefrom, as to the Lease, Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the prompt, faithful and complete payment and performance in full in cash of all monetary obligations of Tenant under the Lease of any nature, including, without limitation, Rent, Additional Charges and all other sums payable by Tenant under the Lease (including, without limitation, during any Transition Period), all indemnification obligations, insurance obligations and all monetary obligations relating to the requirements to operate, rebuild, restore or replace any facilities or improvements now or hereafter located on the Leased Property covered by the Lease, including, without limitation, Tenant’s obligation to expend the Required Capital Expenditures in accordance with the Lease (collectively, the “ Obligations ”), in each case including (a) amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code (as defined below) or similar laws and (b) any late charges and interest provided for under the Lease (including interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, whether or not a claim for such interest is allowed or allowable in such proceeding). In the event of the failure of Tenant to pay any of the Obligations when due or within any applicable cure period under the Lease, Guarantor shall forthwith pay all Obligations and pay all costs of collection or enforcement and other damages that may result from the non-performance thereof by Tenant, in each case to the full extent provided under the Lease.

e. any change in the existence, structure or ownership of, or any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, assignment for the benefit of creditors, receivership or trusteeship affecting, Tenant, Landlord or Guarantor or their respective successors or assigns or any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective assets, or any actual or attempted rejection, assumption, assignment, separation, severance, or recharacterization of the Lease or any portion thereof, or any discharge of liability thereunder, in connection with any such proceeding or otherwise;
f. any limitation of Tenant’s liability under the Lease or any limitation of Tenant’s liability thereunder which may now or hereafter be imposed by any statute, regulation or rule of law, or any illegality, irregularity, invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of the Lease or any term thereof;
g. subject to Section 13 hereof, any sale, lease, or transfer of all or any part of any interest in the Facility or any or all of the assets of Tenant to any other Person;

    




h. any act or omission by Landlord with respect to any security instrument or any failure to file, record or otherwise perfect the same;
i. any extensions of time for performance under the Lease;
j. the release of Tenant from performance or observation of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in the Lease by operation of law or otherwise;
k. the fact that Tenant may or may not be personally liable, in whole or in part, under the terms of the Lease to pay any money judgment;
l. the failure to give Guarantor any notice of acceptance, default or otherwise;
m. any other guaranty now or hereafter executed by Guarantor or anyone else in connection with the Lease;
n. any rights, powers or privileges Landlord may now or hereafter have against any other Person;
o. except as provided in Section 13 below, any assignment of the Lease, or any subletting or subsubletting of, or any other occupancy arrangements in respect of, all or any part of the Facility;
p. any other defenses, other than a defense of payment or performance in full, as the case may be, of the Obligations;
q. the existence of any claim, setoff, counterclaim, defense or other rights that may be at any time be available to, or asserted by, Guarantor or Tenant against Landlord, whether in connection with the Lease, the Obligations or otherwise, except to the extent of any such rights expressly provided to Tenant under the Lease;
r. any law or statute that may operate to cap, limit, or otherwise restrict the claims of a lessor of real property, including, but not limited to, Section 502(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code;
s. the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of all or any part of the Obligations, or any document or agreement executed in connection with the Obligations (including the Lease) for any reason whatsoever;
t. the unenforceability (for any reason whatsoever) of this Guaranty, including, without limitation, as a result of rejection in any bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or other proceeding; or
u. any other circumstances, whether or not Guarantor had notice or knowledge thereof.

(3) Primary Liability . The liability of Guarantor with respect to the Obligations shall be an absolute, direct, immediate, continuing and unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, may not be revoked by Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to all of the Obligations notwithstanding any attempted revocation by Guarantor and shall not be conditional or contingent upon the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Lease or any other documents or instruments relating to the Obligations, including any Person’s lack of authority or lawful right to enter into such document on such Person’s behalf, or the pursuit by Landlord of any remedies Landlord may have. Without limitation of the foregoing, Landlord may proceed against Guarantor: (a) prior to or in lieu of proceeding against Tenant, its assets, any security deposit, or any other guarantor; and (b) prior to or in lieu of pursuing any other rights or remedies available to Landlord.

In the event of any default under the Lease, a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor whether or not Tenant is joined therein or a separate action or actions are brought against Tenant. Landlord may maintain successive actions for other defaults. Landlord’s rights hereunder shall not be exhausted by its exercise of any of its rights or remedies or by any such action or

    




by any number of successive actions until and unless all indebtedness and Obligations the payment and performance of which are hereby guaranteed have been paid and fully performed.
(4) Obligations Not Affected .

Any exercise or non-exercise by Landlord of any right hereby given Landlord, dealing by Landlord with Guarantor or any other guarantor, Tenant or any other Person, or change, impairment, release or suspension of any right or remedy of Landlord against any Person including Tenant and any other guarantor will not affect any of the Obligations of Guarantor hereunder or give Guarantor any recourse or offset against Landlord.

(5) Waiver . With respect to the Lease, Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes all rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to sureties and/or guarantors or any other accommodation parties, under any statutory provisions, common law or any other provision of law, custom or practice, and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any such rights or remedies including, but not limited to:
a. any right to require Landlord to proceed against Tenant or any other Person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by Landlord at any time or to pursue any other remedy in Landlord’s power before proceeding against Guarantor or to require that Landlord cause a marshaling of Tenant’s assets or the assets, if any, given as collateral for this Guaranty or to proceed against Tenant and/or any collateral, including collateral, if any, given to secure Guarantor’s obligation under this Guaranty, held by Landlord at any time or in any particular order;
b. any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity or lack of authority of any other Person;
c. notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness or obligation or of any action or non-action on the part of Tenant, Landlord, any creditor of Tenant or Guarantor or on the part of any other Person whomsoever under this or any other instrument in connection with any obligation or evidence of indebtedness held by Landlord or in connection with any obligation hereby guaranteed;
d. any defense based upon an election of remedies by Landlord which destroys or otherwise impairs the subrogation rights of Guarantor or the right of Guarantor to proceed against Tenant for reimbursement, or both;
e. any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal;
f. any duty on the part of Landlord to disclose to Guarantor any facts Landlord may now or hereafter know about Tenant, regardless of whether Landlord has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which Guarantor intends to assume or has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to Guarantor or has a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to Guarantor, it being understood and agreed that Guarantor is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Tenant and of all circumstances bearing on the risk of non-payment or non-performance of any Obligations or indebtedness hereby guaranteed;
g. any defense arising because of Landlord’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Federal Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 (11 U.S.C. § 101, et seq.), as amended, reformed or modified from time to time and any rules or regulations issued from time to time thereunder (the “ Bankruptcy Code ”) of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code;

    




h. any defense based on any borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the federal Bankruptcy Code; and
i. all rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to guarantors, including without limitation, any extension of time conferred by any law now or hereafter in effect and any requirement or notice of acceptance of this Guaranty or any other notice to which the undersigned may now or hereafter be entitled to the extent such waiver of notice is permitted by applicable law.

(6) Information . Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition and assets of Tenant, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder and agrees that Landlord will not have any duty to advise Guarantor of information regarding such circumstances or risks.

(7) No Subrogation . Until all Obligations of Tenant under the Lease have been satisfied and discharged in full, Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation and waives any right to enforce any remedy which Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Tenant or any of Tenant’s assets (including any such remedy of Landlord) and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by Landlord with respect to the Lease.

(8) Agreement to Comply with terms of Lease . Guarantor hereby agrees (a) to comply with all terms of the Lease applicable to it hereunder in respect of the Obligations, (b) that it shall take no action, and that it shall not omit to take any action, which action or omission, as applicable, would cause a breach of the terms of the Lease and (c) that it shall not commence an involuntary proceeding or file an involuntary petition in any court of competent jurisdiction seeking (i) relief in respect of Tenant or any of its Subsidiaries, or of a substantial part of the property or assets of Tenant or any of its Subsidiaries, under the Bankruptcy Code, or any other federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law or (ii) the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator, conservator or similar official for Tenant or any of its Subsidiaries or for a substantial part of the property or assets of Tenant or any of its Subsidiaries.

(9) Agreement to Pay; Contribution; Subordination; Claims in Bankruptcy . Without limitation of any other right of Landlord at law or in equity, upon the failure of Tenant to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to Landlord in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligation. Upon payment by Guarantor of any sums to Landlord as provided above, all rights of Guarantor against Tenant arising as a result thereof by way of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall be subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 9 . If for any reason whatsoever Tenant now or hereafter becomes indebted to Guarantor or any Affiliate of Guarantor, such indebtedness and all interest thereon shall at all times be subordinate to Tenant’s obligation to Landlord to pay as and when due in accordance with the terms of the Lease the guaranteed Obligations, it being understood that Guarantor and each Affiliate of Guarantor shall be permitted to receive payments from Tenant on account of such obligations except during the continuance of a Tenant Event of Default under the Lease relating to failure to pay amounts due under the Lease. During any time in which a Tenant Event of Default relating to failure to pay amounts due under the Lease has occurred and is continuing under the Lease (and provided that Guarantor has received written notice thereof), Guarantor agrees to make no claim for such indebtedness that does not recite that such claim is expressly subordinate to Landlord’s rights and remedies under the Lease. Furthermore, in the event of receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief, or other insolvency proceedings involving Tenant as debtor, Guarantor hereby assigns to Landlord any right it may have to prove its claim in any such proceeding so as to establish its rights hereunder and receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other

    




court custodian dividends and payments which would otherwise be payable to Guarantor with respect to debts and liabilities owing by Tenant to Guarantor up to the amounts owed to Landlord hereunder.

(10) Application of Payments . With respect to the Lease, and with or without notice to Guarantor, Landlord, in Landlord’s sole discretion and at any time and from time to time and in such manner and upon such terms as Landlord deems appropriate, may (a) apply any or all payments or recoveries following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Tenant Event of Default from Tenant or from any other guarantor under any other instrument or realized from any security, in such manner and order of priority as Landlord may determine, to any indebtedness or other obligation of Tenant with respect to the Lease and whether or not such indebtedness or other obligation is guaranteed hereby or is otherwise secured, and (b) refund to Tenant any payment received by Landlord under the Lease.

(11) Guaranty Default . Upon the failure of Guarantor to pay the amounts required to be paid hereunder when due following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Tenant Event of Default under the Lease, Landlord shall have the right to bring such actions at law or inequity, including appropriate injunctive relief, as it deems appropriate to compel compliance, payment or deposit, and among other remedies to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees in any proceeding, including any appeal therefrom and any post judgment proceedings.

(12) Maximum Liability . Guarantor and, by its acceptance of the guarantees provided herein, Landlord, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that the guarantees provided herein and the obligations of Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to the guarantees provided herein and the obligations of Guarantor hereunder.

EXHIBIT D
GUARANTY
This GUARANTY OF LEASE (this “ Guaranty ”), is made and entered into as of the __________day of December, 2017 by and between Caesars Resort Collection, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ Guarantor ”), and [_____] (“ Landlord ”).
RECITALS
A.      Landlord and Harrah’s Las Vegas LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“ Tenant ”) have entered into that certain Lease dated of even date herewith (as may be amended, restated, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ Lease ”). All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings given such terms in the Lease.
B.      Guarantor is an affiliate of Tenant, will derive substantial benefits from the Lease and acknowledges and agrees that this Guaranty is given in accordance with the requirements of the Lease and that Landlord would not have been willing to enter into the Lease unless Guarantor was willing to execute and deliver this Guaranty.
AGREEMENTS
NOW , THEREFORE , in consideration of Landlord entering into the Lease with Tenant, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor agrees as follows:
(1) Guaranty . In consideration of the benefit derived or to be derived by it therefrom, as to the Lease, Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the prompt, faithful and complete payment and performance in full in cash of all monetary obligations of Tenant under the Lease of any nature, including, without limitation, Rent, Additional Charges and all other sums payable by Tenant under the Lease (including, without limitation, during any Transition Period), all indemnification obligations, insurance obligations and all monetary obligations relating to the requirements to operate, rebuild, restore or replace any facilities or improvements now or hereafter located on the Leased Property

    




covered by the Lease, including, without limitation, Tenant’s obligation to expend the Required Capital Expenditures in accordance with the Lease (collectively, the “ Obligations ”), in each case including (a) amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code (as defined below) or similar laws and (b) any late charges and interest provided for under the Lease (including interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, whether or not a claim for such interest is allowed or allowable in such proceeding). In the event of the failure of Tenant to pay any of the Obligations when due or within any applicable cure period under the Lease, Guarantor shall forthwith pay all Obligations and pay all costs of collection or enforcement and other damages that may result from the non-performance thereof by Tenant, in each case to the full extent provided under the Lease. As to the Obligations, Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty is without limit except as provided in Section 12 hereof. Guarantor agrees that its guarantee provided herein constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection.
(2) Survival of Obligations . The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be released, diminished, impaired, reduced or adversely affected and shall survive and continue in full force and effect notwithstanding:
a. any amendment, modification, or extension of the Lease pursuant to its terms;
b. any compromise, release, consent, extension, indulgence or other action or inaction in respect of any terms of the Lease or any other guarantor;
c. any substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any security for this Guaranty which Landlord may hold at any time;
d. any exercise or non-exercise by Landlord of any right, power or remedy under or in respect of the Lease or any security held by Landlord with respect thereto, or any waiver of any such right, power or remedy;
e. any change in the existence, structure or ownership of, or any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, assignment for the benefit of creditors, receivership or trusteeship affecting, Tenant, Landlord or Guarantor or their respective successors or assigns or any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective assets, or any actual or attempted rejection, assumption, assignment, separation, severance, or recharacterization of the Lease or any portion thereof, or any discharge of liability thereunder, in connection with any such proceeding or otherwise;
f. any limitation of Tenant’s liability under the Lease or any limitation of Tenant’s liability thereunder which may now or hereafter be imposed by any statute, regulation or rule of law, or any illegality, irregularity, invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of the Lease or any term thereof;
g. subject to Section 13 hereof, any sale, lease, or transfer of all or any part of any interest in the Facility or any or all of the assets of Tenant to any other Person;
h. any act or omission by Landlord with respect to any security instrument or any failure to file, record or otherwise perfect the same;
i. any extensions of time for performance under the Lease;
j. the release of Tenant from performance or observation of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in the Lease by operation of law or otherwise;
k. the fact that Tenant may or may not be personally liable, in whole or in part, under the terms of the Lease to pay any money judgment;





l. the failure to give Guarantor any notice of acceptance, default or otherwise;
m. any other guaranty now or hereafter executed by Guarantor or anyone else in connection with the Lease;
n. any rights, powers or privileges Landlord may now or hereafter have against any other Person;
o. except as provided in Section 13 below, any assignment of the Lease, or any subletting or subsubletting of, or any other occupancy arrangements in respect of, all or any part of the Facility;
p. any other defenses, other than a defense of payment or performance in full, as the case may be, of the Obligations;
q. the existence of any claim, setoff, counterclaim, defense or other rights that may be at any time be available to, or asserted by, Guarantor or Tenant against Landlord, whether in connection with the Lease, the Obligations or otherwise, except to the extent of any such rights expressly provided to Tenant under the Lease;
r. any law or statute that may operate to cap, limit, or otherwise restrict the claims of a lessor of real property, including, but not limited to, Section 502(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code;
s. the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of all or any part of the Obligations, or any document or agreement executed in connection with the Obligations (including the Lease) for any reason whatsoever;
t. the unenforceability (for any reason whatsoever) of this Guaranty, including, without limitation, as a result of rejection in any bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or other proceeding; or
u. any other circumstances, whether or not Guarantor had notice or knowledge thereof.
(3) Primary Liability . The liability of Guarantor with respect to the Obligations shall be an absolute, direct, immediate, continuing and unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, may not be revoked by Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to all of the Obligations notwithstanding any attempted revocation by Guarantor and shall not be conditional or contingent upon the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Lease or any other documents or instruments relating to the Obligations, including any Person’s lack of authority or lawful right to enter into such document on such Person’s behalf, or the pursuit by Landlord of any remedies Landlord may have. Without limitation of the foregoing, Landlord may proceed against Guarantor: (a) prior to or in lieu of proceeding against Tenant, its assets, any security deposit, or any other guarantor; and (b) prior to or in lieu of pursuing any other rights or remedies available to Landlord. All rights and remedies afforded to Landlord by reason of this Guaranty or by law are separate, independent and cumulative, and the exercise of any rights or remedies shall not in any way limit, restrict or prejudice the exercise of any other rights or remedies.
In the event of any default under the Lease, a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor whether or not Tenant is joined therein or a separate action or actions are brought against Tenant. Landlord may maintain successive actions for other defaults. Landlord’s rights hereunder shall not be exhausted by its exercise of any of its rights or remedies or by any such action or by any number of successive actions until and unless all indebtedness and Obligations the payment and performance of which are hereby guaranteed have been paid and fully performed.





(4) Obligations Not Affected . In such manner, upon such terms and at such times as Landlord in its sole discretion deems necessary or expedient, and without notice to Guarantor, Landlord may: (a) amend, alter, compromise, accelerate, extend or change the time or manner for the payment or the performance of any Obligation hereby guaranteed; (b) extend, amend or terminate the Lease; or (c) release Tenant by consent to any assignment (or otherwise) as to all or any portion of the Obligations hereby guaranteed, in each case pursuant to the terms of the Lease. Any exercise or non-exercise by Landlord of any right hereby given Landlord, dealing by Landlord with Guarantor or any other guarantor, Tenant or any other Person, or change, impairment, release or suspension of any right or remedy of Landlord against any Person including Tenant and any other guarantor will not affect any of the Obligations of Guarantor hereunder or give Guarantor any recourse or offset against Landlord.
(5) Waiver . With respect to the Lease, Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes all rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to sureties and/or guarantors or any other accommodation parties, under any statutory provisions, common law or any other provision of law, custom or practice, and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any such rights or remedies including, but not limited to:
a. any right to require Landlord to proceed against Tenant or any other Person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by Landlord at any time or to pursue any other remedy in Landlord’s power before proceeding against Guarantor or to require that Landlord cause a marshaling of Tenant’s assets or the assets, if any, given as collateral for this Guaranty or to proceed against Tenant and/or any collateral, including collateral, if any, given to secure Guarantor’s obligation under this Guaranty, held by Landlord at any time or in any particular order;
b. any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity or lack of authority of any other Person;
c. notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness or obligation or of any action or non-action on the part of Tenant, Landlord, any creditor of Tenant or Guarantor or on the part of any other Person whomsoever under this or any other instrument in connection with any obligation or evidence of indebtedness held by Landlord or in connection with any obligation hereby guaranteed;
d. any defense based upon an election of remedies by Landlord which destroys or otherwise impairs the subrogation rights of Guarantor or the right of Guarantor to proceed against Tenant for reimbursement, or both;
e. any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal;
f. any duty on the part of Landlord to disclose to Guarantor any facts Landlord may now or hereafter know about Tenant, regardless of whether Landlord has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which Guarantor intends to assume or has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to Guarantor or has a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to Guarantor, it being understood and agreed that Guarantor is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Tenant and of all circumstances bearing on the risk of non-payment or non-performance of any Obligations or indebtedness hereby guaranteed;





g. any defense arising because of Landlord’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Federal Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 (11 U.S.C. § 101, et seq.), as amended, reformed or modified from time to time and any rules or regulations issued from time to time thereunder (the “ Bankruptcy Code ”) of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code;
h. any defense based on any borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the federal Bankruptcy Code; and
i. all rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to guarantors, including without limitation, any extension of time conferred by any law now or hereafter in effect and any requirement or notice of acceptance of this Guaranty or any other notice to which the undersigned may now or hereafter be entitled to the extent such waiver of notice is permitted by applicable law.
(6) Information . Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition and assets of Tenant, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder and agrees that Landlord will not have any duty to advise Guarantor of information regarding such circumstances or risks.
(7) No Subrogation . Until all Obligations of Tenant under the Lease have been satisfied and discharged in full, Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation and waives any right to enforce any remedy which Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Tenant or any of Tenant’s assets (including any such remedy of Landlord) and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by Landlord with respect to the Lease.
(8) Agreement to Comply with terms of Lease . Guarantor hereby agrees (a) to comply with all terms of the Lease applicable to it hereunder in respect of the Obligations, (b) that it shall take no action, and that it shall not omit to take any action, which action or omission, as applicable, would cause a breach of the terms of the Lease and (c) that it shall not commence an involuntary proceeding or file an involuntary petition in any court of competent jurisdiction seeking (i) relief in respect of Tenant or any of its Subsidiaries, or of a substantial part of the property or assets of Tenant or any of its Subsidiaries, under the Bankruptcy Code, or any other federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law or (ii) the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator, conservator or similar official for Tenant or any of its Subsidiaries or for a substantial part of the property or assets of Tenant or any of its Subsidiaries.
(9) Agreement to Pay; Contribution; Subordination; Claims in Bankruptcy . Without limitation of any other right of Landlord at law or in equity, upon the failure of Tenant to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to Landlord in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligation. Upon payment by Guarantor of any sums to Landlord as provided above, all rights of Guarantor against Tenant arising as a result thereof by way of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall be subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 9 . If for any reason whatsoever Tenant now or hereafter becomes indebted to Guarantor or any Affiliate of Guarantor, such indebtedness and all interest thereon shall at all times be subordinate to Tenant’s obligation to Landlord to pay as and when due in accordance with the terms of the Lease the guaranteed Obligations, it being understood that Guarantor and each Affiliate of Guarantor shall be permitted to receive payments from Tenant on account of such obligations except during the continuance of a Tenant Event of Default under the Lease relating to failure to pay amounts due under the Lease.





During any time in which a Tenant Event of Default relating to failure to pay amounts due under the Lease has occurred and is continuing under the Lease (and provided that Guarantor has received written notice thereof), Guarantor agrees to make no claim for such indebtedness that does not recite that such claim is expressly subordinate to Landlord’s rights and remedies under the Lease. Furthermore, in the event of receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief, or other insolvency proceedings involving Tenant as debtor, Guarantor hereby assigns to Landlord any right it may have to prove its claim in any such proceeding so as to establish its rights hereunder and receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian dividends and payments which would otherwise be payable to Guarantor with respect to debts and liabilities owing by Tenant to Guarantor up to the amounts owed to Landlord hereunder.
(10) Application of Payments . With respect to the Lease, and with or without notice to Guarantor, Landlord, in Landlord’s sole discretion and at any time and from time to time and in such manner and upon such terms as Landlord deems appropriate, may (a) apply any or all payments or recoveries following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Tenant Event of Default from Tenant or from any other guarantor under any other instrument or realized from any security, in such manner and order of priority as Landlord may determine, to any indebtedness or other obligation of Tenant with respect to the Lease and whether or not such indebtedness or other obligation is guaranteed hereby or is otherwise secured, and (b) refund to Tenant any payment received by Landlord under the Lease.
(11) Guaranty Default . Upon the failure of Guarantor to pay the amounts required to be paid hereunder when due following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Tenant Event of Default under the Lease, Landlord shall have the right to bring such actions at law or inequity, including appropriate injunctive relief, as it deems appropriate to compel compliance, payment or deposit, and among other remedies to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees in any proceeding, including any appeal therefrom and any post judgment proceedings.
(12) Maximum Liability . Guarantor and, by its acceptance of the guarantees provided herein, Landlord, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that the guarantees provided herein and the obligations of Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to the guarantees provided herein and the obligations of Guarantor hereunder.

(b)      Prior to Propco or any Propco Related Party consummating any CEC Opportunity Transaction (or, if Section 2(f) below is applicable, as soon as reasonably possible thereafter), Propco shall deliver to CEC a package of information describing the CEC Opportunity Transaction and the terms upon which Affiliates of CEC would lease and the Manager would manage such ROFR Property (the “ CEC Opportunity Package ”), including, without limitation, the following (subject to execution of a customary non-disclosure agreement): (i) basic information identifying the ROFR Property, such as the name and location of the applicable Gaming Facility; (ii) the material acquisition terms, including, without limitation, the purchase price and the expected closing date of the CEC Opportunity Transaction; (iii) for any Acquisition Opportunity, three (3) years of audited (to the extent reasonably available to Propco; otherwise unaudited) financial statements of the ROFR Property or of the seller of the ROFR Property, as applicable, and for any Development Opportunity, three (3) years of financial projections for the ROFR Property (excluding any initial period during

If CEC does not so exercise the CEC ROFR prior to the expiration of the CEC Election Period, then CEC shall be deemed to have waived the CEC ROFR with respect to the applicable CEC Opportunity Transaction only.

(d)      If CEC waives (or is deemed to have waived) the CEC ROFR with respect to a CEC Opportunity Transaction, then Propco (or the applicable Propco Related Party) shall be free to consummate the CEC Opportunity Transaction without CEC’s (or its Affiliates’) involvement, upon terms not materially more favorable to the applicable counterparty (if any) than those presented to CEC in the CEC Opportunity Package.

The ROFR Lease and ROFR Management Agreement shall provide for the following: (i) the initial rent shall be equal to the then applicable ROFR Lease Rent; and (ii) such other terms and conditions consistent with the terms of the CEC ROFR and otherwise as CEC and Propco may agree. If, despite the good faith, commercially reasonable efforts of Propco and CEC, the parties are unable to reach agreement on the terms and conditions of the ROFR Lease and ROFR Management Agreement prior to the expiration of the CEC ROFR Discussion Period, then, upon the expiration of the CEC ROFR Discussion Period, either (1) the terms and conditions of the ROFR Lease and ROFR Management Agreement shall be established pursuant to arbitration in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4 hereof (other than the specific terms of the CEC ROFR, which shall be as set forth in the CEC Opportunity Package and shall not be subject to arbitration), or (2) solely with the written consent of CEC (which may be granted or withheld in CEC’s sole and absolute discretion), Propco (or the applicable Propco Related Party) shall be free to consummate the CEC Opportunity Transaction without CEC’s (or its Affiliates’) involvement, in accordance with, and subject to the conditions of, Section 2(d) hereof.

If, on or prior to the expiration of the CEC ROFR Discussion Period, CEC and its Affiliates (as applicable) are unable to obtain all such necessary licenses, qualifications and approvals, then Propco (or the applicable Propco Related Party) shall be free to consummate the CEC Opportunity Transaction without CEC’s (or its Affiliates’) involvement.

(f)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the timeframe to consummate a CEC Opportunity Transaction is expedited as a result of a competitive bidding process or other bona fide third-party requirements such that adherence to the right of first refusal procedures in the timeframes set forth under this Section 2 would result in a reasonable likelihood that Propco (or the applicable Propco Related Party) would not be able to execute the CEC Opportunity Transaction (as determined by Propco in good faith), then Propco (or the applicable Propco Related Party) may proceed to consummate such CEC Opportunity Transaction without CEC’s (or its Affiliates’) involvement; provided, however, that (i) subject to Propco’s ability to structure the initial transaction in the manner provided in the following clause (ii), as soon as reasonably possible following Propco’s (or the applicable Propco Related Party’s) consummation of such CEC Opportunity Transaction, Propco shall provide to CEC an opportunity to cause Affiliates of CEC to lease and the Manager to manage the applicable ROFR Property (with such ROFR Property to be owned by Affiliates of Propco) in accordance with the terms of this Section 2, and (ii) Propco shall use commercially reasonable efforts to structure such initial transaction in a manner that would facilitate CEC’s exercise of such rights following consummation of such transaction; provided further however, that for the avoidance of doubt, if such initial transaction cannot after the use of commercially reasonable efforts be structured in such a manner without resulting in an adverse effect on such transaction or Propco (other than an adverse effect that is immaterial), Propco shall not be required to provide to CEC an opportunity to lease and the Manager to manage the applicable ROFR Property in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.

There are requirements which must be met before a final policy can be issued in the same form as the pro forma policy. A commitment to insure setting forth these requirements should be obtained from the Company.

Additional Matters may be added or other amendments may be made to this pro forma policy by reason of any defects, liens or encumbrances that appear for the first time in the Public Records or come to the attention of the Company and are created or attached between the issuance of this pro forma policy and the issuance of a policy of title insurance. The Company shall have no liability because of such addition or amendment.

In the event the Arbitration Panel’s determination is that an Owner LD Default occurred, Owner shall have a period of twenty (20) days from the date of such determination to cure such default, failure of which shall result in Owner being required to pay the VICI Liquidated Damages Amount.

THIS SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED LEASE (this “ Lease ”) is entered into as of [  ], [  ], by and among [_____],together with its permitted successors and assigns, “ Landlord ”), and Harrah’s Las Vegas, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, together with its permitted successors and assigns, “ Tenant ”).
RECITALS
A.      Pursuant to that certain Lease dated as of December __, 2017 (the Original Lease), Landlord leased to Tenant the Leased Property (as defined in the Original Lease) (the Original Leased Property) consisting of all of the real estate assets comprising the property commonly known as Harrah’s Las Vegas, as more particularly described on Exhibit A-1 attached hereto.

38




B.      Pursuant to that certain Lease dated as of December __, 2017 (the Original Lease), Landlord leased to Tenant the Leased Property (as defined in the Original Lease) (the Original Leased Property) consisting of all of the real estate assets comprising the property commonly known as Harrah’s Las Vegas, as more particularly described on Exhibit A-1 attached hereto.
C.    Landlord desires to lease to Tenant, and Tenant desires to lease from Landlord, the Convention Center Property (and to incorporate the Convention Center Property into this Lease so that the Leased Property hereunder shall be comprised of the Convention Center Property and the Original Leased Property), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Lease.
D.    Landlord and Tenant wish to amend and restate the Original Lease in its entirety.
E.    Capitalized terms used in this Lease and not otherwise defined herein are defined in Article II hereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Original Lease is hereby amended and restated in its entirety and the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1
DEMISE; TERM

1.1     Leased Property . Upon and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Landlord demises and leases to Tenant and Tenant accepts and leases from Landlord all of Landlord’s rights and interest in and to the following (collectively, the “ Leased Property ”):

(a) the real property described in Exhibit B attached hereto, together with any ownership interests in adjoining roadways, alleyways, strips, gores and the like appurtenant thereto (collectively, the “ Land ”);

(b) all buildings, structures, Fixtures and improvements of every kind now or hereafter located on the Land or the improvements located thereon or permanently affixed to the Land or the improvements located thereon, including, but not limited to, alleyways and connecting tunnels, sidewalks, utility pipes, conduits and lines appurtenant to such buildings and structures (collectively, the “ Leased Improvements ”), provided, however, that the foregoing shall not affect or contradict the provisions of this Lease which specify that Tenant shall be entitled to certain rights with respect to or benefits of the Tenant Capital Improvements as expressly set forth herein; and

(c) all easements, development rights and other rights appurtenant to the Land or the Leased Improvements. The Leased Property is leased subject to all covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements and other matters of any nature affecting the Leased Property or any portion thereof as of the Commencement Date and such subsequent covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements and other matters as may hereafter arise in accordance with the terms of this Lease or as may otherwise be agreed to in writing by Landlord and Tenant, whether or not of record, including

39




any matters which would be disclosed by an inspection or accurate survey of the Leased Property or any portion thereof.

Except as more specifically provided in the following paragraph, to the extent Landlord’s ownership of any Leased Property or any portion thereof (including any improvement (including any Capital Improvement) or other property) that does not constitute “real property” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.856-3(d), which would otherwise be owned by Landlord and leased to Tenant pursuant to this Lease, could cause Landlord REIT to fail to qualify as a “real estate investment trust” (within the meaning of Section 856(a) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto), then a portion of such property shall automatically instead be owned by PropCo TRS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which is a “taxable REIT subsidiary” (within the meaning of Section 856(l) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto) of Landlord REIT (the “ Propco TRS ”), to the extent necessary such that Landlord’s ownership of such Leased Property does not cause Landlord REIT to fail to qualify as a real estate investment trust, provided, there shall be no adjustment in the Rent as a result of the foregoing. In such event, Landlord shall cause the Propco TRS to make such property available to Tenant in accordance with the terms hereof; however, Landlord shall remain fully liable for all obligations of Landlord under this Lease and shall retain sole decision-making authority for any matters for which Landlord’s consent or approval is required or permitted to be given and for which Landlord’s discretion may be exercised under this Lease.
1.2     Single, Indivisible Lease . This Lease constitutes one indivisible lease of the Leased Property and not separate leases governed by similar terms. The Leased Property constitutes one economic unit, and the Rent and all other provisions have been negotiated and agreed upon based on a demise of all of the Leased Property to Tenant as a single, composite, inseparable transaction and would have been substantially different had separate leases or a divisible lease been intended. Except as expressly provided in this Lease for specific, isolated purposes (and then only to the extent expressly otherwise stated), all provisions of this Lease apply equally and uniformly to all components of the Leased Property collectively as one unit. The Parties intend that the provisions of this Lease shall at all times be construed, interpreted and applied so as to carry out their mutual objective to create an indivisible lease of all of the Leased Property and, in particular but without limitation, that, for purposes of any assumption, rejection or assignment of this Lease under 11 U.S.C. Section 365, or any successor or replacement thereof or any analogous state law, this is one indivisible and non-severable lease and executory contract dealing with one legal and economic unit and that this Lease must be assumed, rejected or assigned as a whole with respect to all (and only as to all) of the Leased Property.

length terms (assuming (1) neither such tenant nor landlord is under any compulsion to lease and that both have reasonable knowledge of all relevant facts, are acting prudently and knowledgeably in a competitive and open market, and assuming price is not affected by undue stimulus, (2) such lease contained terms and conditions identical to the terms and conditions of this Lease, other than with respect to the length of term and payment of Rent, (3) neither party is paying any broker a commission in connection with the transaction, and (4) that the tenant thereunder will pay such Fair Market Rental Value for the entire term of such demise ( i.e. , no early termination)), taking into account the provisions of Section 34.1(g) , and otherwise taking all then-relevant factors into account (whether favorable to one, both or neither Party), either (i) as agreed in writing by Landlord and Tenant, or (ii) as determined in accordance with the procedure specified in Section 34.1 of this Lease. In all cases, for purposes of determining the Fair Market Ownership Value or the Fair Market Rental Value, as the case may be, (A) the Leased Property (or Facility, as applicable) to be valued pursuant hereto (as improved by all then existing Leased Improvements, and all Capital Improvements thereto, but excluding any Tenant Material Capital Improvements), shall be valued as (or as part of) a fully-permitted Facility operated in accordance with the provisions of this Lease for the Primary Intended Use, free and clear of any lien or encumbrance evidencing a debt (including any Permitted Leasehold Indebtedness) or judgment (including any mortgage, security interest, tax lien, or judgment lien) (provided, however, for purposes of determining Fair Market Ownership Value of any applicable Tenant Material Capital Improvements pursuant to Section 10.4(e) , the same shall be valued on the basis of the then-applicable status of any applicable permits, free and clear of only such liens and encumbrances that will be removed if and when conveyed to Landlord pursuant to said Section 10.4(e) ), (B) in determining the Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Rental Value with respect to damaged or destroyed Leased Property, such value shall be determined as if such Leased Property had not been so damaged or destroyed (unless otherwise expressly provided herein), except that such value with respect to damaged or destroyed Tenant Material Capital Improvements shall only be determined as if such Tenant Material Capital Improvements had been restored if and to the extent Tenant is required to repair, restore or replace such Tenant Material Capital Improvements under this Lease (provided, however, for purposes of determining Fair Market Ownership Value pursuant to Section 10.4(e) , the same shall be valued taking into account any then-existing damage), and (C) the price shall represent the normal consideration for the property sold (or leased) unaffected by sales (or leasing) concessions granted by anyone associated with the transaction. In addition, the following specific matters shall be factored in or out, as appropriate, in determining Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Rental Value as the case may be: (i) the negative value of (x) any deferred maintenance or other items of repair or replacement of the Leased Property to the extent arising from breach or failure of Tenant to perform or observe its obligations hereunder, (y) any then current or prior Gaming or other licensure violations by Tenant, Guarantor or any of their Affiliates, and (z) any breach or failure of Tenant to perform or observe its obligations hereunder (in each case with respect to the foregoing clauses (x), (y) and (z), without giving effect to any applicable cure periods hereunder), shall, in each case, when determining Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Rental Value, as the case may be, not be taken into account; rather, the Leased Property and every part thereof shall be deemed to be in the condition required by this Lease and Tenant shall at all times be deemed to have operated the Facility in compliance with and to have performed all obligations of Tenant under this Lease (provided, however, for purposes of determining Fair Market Ownership Value under Section 10.4(e) , the negative value of the items described in clauses (x), (y) and (z) shall be

52




taken into account); and (ii) in the case of a determination of Fair Market Rental Value, such determination shall be without reference to any savings Landlord may realize as a result of any extension of the Term of this Lease, such as savings in free rent and tenant concessions, and without reference to any “start-up” costs a new tenant would incur were it to replace the existing Tenant for any Renewal Term or otherwise. The determination of Fair Market Rental Value shall be of Base Rent and Variable Rent (but not Additional Charges), and shall assume and take into account that Additional Charges shall continue to be paid hereunder during any period in which such Fair Market Rental Value shall be paid. For the avoidance of doubt, the annual Fair Market Rental Value shall be calculated and evaluated as a whole for the entire term in question, and may reflect increases in one or more years during the applicable term in question (i.e., the annual Fair Market Rental Value need not be identical for each year of the term in question).

ARTICLE III
RENT
3.1    Rent .

(a)     Generally . During the Term, Tenant will pay to Landlord the Rent and Additional Charges in lawful money of the United States of America and legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, in the manner provided in Section 3.4 .
    
(b)     Payment of HLV Rent until Commencement of Variable Rent . On the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay a prorated portion of the first monthly installment of HLV Rent for the period from the Commencement Date until the last day of the calendar month in which the Commencement Date occurs, based on the number of days during such period. Thereafter, for the first seven (7) Lease Years, HLV Rent shall be payable by Tenant in consecutive monthly installments equal to one-twelfth (1/12 th ) of the HLV Rent amount for the applicable Lease Year on the first (1 st ) day of each calendar month (or the immediately succeeding Business Day if the first (1 st ) day of the month is not a Business Day), in advance for such calendar month, during that Lease Year.
        
(d)     Payment of HLV Rent following Commencement of Variable Rent . From the commencement of the eighth (8 th ) Lease Year and continuing until the Expiration Date, both Base Rent and Variable Rent during any Lease Year shall be payable in consecutive monthly installments equal to one-twelfth (1/12 th ) of the Base Rent and Variable Rent amounts for the applicable Lease Year on the first (1 st ) day of each calendar month (or the immediately succeeding Business Day if the first (1 st ) day of the month is not a Business Day), in advance for such calendar month, during that Lease Year; provided , however , that for each month where Variable Rent is payable but the amount thereof depends upon calculation of Net Revenue not yet known ( e.g. , the first few months of the eighth (8 th ) Lease Year, the eleventh (11 th ) Lease Year, and (if applicable) the first (1 st ) Lease Year of each Renewal Term), the amount of the Variable Rent payable monthly in advance shall remain the same as in the immediately preceding month, and provided , further , that Tenant shall make a payment to Landlord (or be entitled to set off against its Rent payment due, as applicable) on the first (1 st ) day of the calendar month (or the immediately succeeding Business Day if the first (1 st ) day of the month is not a Business Day) following the completion of such calculation in the amount necessary to “true-up” any underpayments or overpayments of

76




Variable Rent for such interim period. Tenant shall complete such calculation of Net Revenue as provided in Section 3.2 of this Lease.    
    
(e)     Payment of Convention Center Rent . On the date hereof, Tenant shall pay a prorated portion of the first monthly installment of Convention Center Rent for the period from the date hereof until the last day of the calendar month in which the Commencement Date occurs, based on the number of days during such period. Thereafter, Convention Center Rent during any Lease Year shall be payable in consecutive monthly installments equal to one-twelfth (1/12 th ) of the Convention Center Rent amounts for the applicable Lease Year on the first (1 st ) day of each calendar month (or the immediately succeeding Business Day if the first (1 st ) day of the month is not a Business Day), in advance for such calendar month, during that Lease Year.

(f)     Proration for Partial Lease Year . Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, Rent and Additional Charges shall be prorated on a per diem basis as to any Lease Year containing less than twelve (12) calendar months, and with respect to any installment thereof due for any partial months at the beginning and end of the Term.

3.2     Variable Rent Determination .

(a)     Variable Rent Statement . Tenant shall, no later than ninety (90) days after the end of each Variable Rent Determination Period during the Term, furnish to Landlord a statement (the “ Variable Rent Statement ”), which Variable Rent Statement shall (i) set forth the sum of the Net Revenues realized with respect to the Hotel/Casino Facility during each of (x) such just-ended Variable Rent Determination Period and (y) except with respect to the first (1 st ) Variable Rent Statement, the Variable Rent Determination Period immediately preceding such just-ended Variable Rent Determination Period, (ii) except with respect to the first (1 st ) Variable Rent Statement, set forth Tenant’s calculation of the per annum Variable Rent payable hereunder during the next Variable Rent Payment Period, (iii) be accompanied by reasonably appropriate supporting data and information, and (iv) be certified by a senior financial officer of Tenant and expressly state that such officer has examined the reports of Net Revenue for the Hotel/Casino Facility therein and the supporting data and information accompanying the same, that such examination included such tests of Tenant’s books and records as reasonably necessary to make such determination, and that such statement accurately presents in all material respects the Net Revenues for the Hotel/Casino Facility for the applicable periods covered thereby, so that Tenant shall commence paying the applicable Variable Rent payable during each Variable Rent Payment Period hereunder (in accordance with the calculation set forth in each such Variable Rent Statement) no later than the first (1 st ) day of the fourth (4 th ) calendar month during such Variable Rent Payment Period (or the immediately preceding Business Day if the first (1 st ) day of such month is not a Business Day)
.
(b)     Maintenance of Records Relating to Variable Rent Statement . Tenant shall maintain, at its corporate offices, for a period of not less than six (6) years following the end of each Lease Year, adequate records which shall evidence the Net Revenue for the Hotel/Casino Facility realized by the Facility during each Lease Year, together with all such records that would normally be examined by an independent auditor pursuant to GAAP in performing an audit of Tenant’s

77




Variable Rent Statements. The provisions and covenants of this Section 3.2(b) shall survive the expiration of the Term or sooner termination of this Lease.
        
(c)     Audits . At any time within two (2) years of receipt of any Variable Rent Statement, Landlord shall have the right to cause to be conducted an independent audit of the matters covered thereby, conducted by a nationally-recognized independent public accounting firm mutually reasonably agreed to by the Parties. Such audit shall be limited to items necessary to ascertain an accurate determination of the calculation of the Variable Rent payable hereunder, and shall be conducted during normal business hours at the principal executive office of Tenant. If it shall be determined as a result of such audit (i) that there has been a deficiency in the payment of Variable Rent, such deficiency shall become due and payable by Tenant to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after such determination, or (ii) that there has been an excess payment of Variable Rent, such excess shall become due and payable by Landlord to Tenant, within thirty (30) days after such determination. In addition, if any Variable Rent Statement shall be found to have understated the per annum Variable Rent payable during any Variable Rent Payment Period by more than two and one-half percent (2.5%), and Landlord is entitled to any additional Variable Rent as a result of such understatement, then (x) Tenant shall pay to Landlord all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses which may be incurred by Landlord in determining and collecting the understatement or underpayment, including the cost of the audit (if applicable) and (y) interest at the Overdue Rate on the amount of the deficiency from the date when said payment should have been made until paid. If it shall be determined as a result of such audit that the applicable Variable Rent Statement did not understate the per annum Variable Rent payable during any Variable Rent Payment Period by more than two and one-half percent (2.5%), then Landlord shall pay to Tenant all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in making such determination, including the cost of the audit. In addition, if any Variable Rent Statement shall be found to have willfully and intentionally understated the per annum Variable Rent, by more than five percent (5%), such understatement shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute a Tenant Event of Default under this Lease. Any audit conducted pursuant to this Section 3.2(c) shall be performed subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 23.1(c) hereof. The receipt by Landlord of any Variable Rent Statement or any Variable Rent paid in accordance therewith for any period shall not constitute an admission of the correctness thereof.

3.3     Late Payment of Rent or Additional Charges . Tenant hereby acknowledges that the late payment by Tenant to Landlord of any Rent or Additional Charges will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated hereunder, the exact amount of which is presently anticipated to be extremely difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, if any installment of Rent or Additional Charges payable directly to Landlord shall not be paid within four (4) days after its due date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand a late charge equal to the lesser of (a) five percent (5%) of the amount of such installment or Additional Charges and (b) the maximum amount permitted by law. The Parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. The Parties further agree that any such late charge constitutes Rent, and not interest, and such assessment does not constitute a lender or borrower/creditor relationship between Landlord and Tenant. If any installment of Rent (or Additional Charges payable directly to Landlord) shall not be paid within nine (9) days after its due date, the amount unpaid, including any late charges previously accrued and unpaid, shall bear interest at the Overdue

78




Rate (from such ninth (9 th ) day after the due date of such installment until the date of payment thereof) (including interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, whether or not a claim for such interest is allowed or allowable in such proceeding), and Tenant shall pay such interest to Landlord on demand. The payment of such late charge or such interest shall not constitute a waiver of, nor excuse or cure, any default under this Lease, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights and remedies available to Landlord. No failure by Landlord to insist upon strict performance by Tenant of Tenant’s obligation to pay late charges and interest on sums overdue shall constitute a waiver by Landlord of its right to enforce the provisions, terms and conditions of this Section 3.3 . No payment by Tenant nor receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than may be required to be paid hereunder shall be deemed to be other than on account of any such payment, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check tendered as payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction and Landlord, in its sole discretion, may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such payment due or pursue any other right or remedy in this Lease provided.
    
3.4     Method of Payment of Rent . Rent and Additional Charges to be paid to Landlord shall be paid by electronic funds transfer debit transactions through wire transfer, ACH or direct deposit of immediately available federal funds and shall be initiated by Tenant for settlement on or before the applicable Payment Date in each case (or, in respect of Additional Charges, as applicable, such other date as may be applicable hereunder); provided, however, if the Payment Date is not a Business Day, then settlement shall be made next succeeding day which is a Business Day. Landlord shall provide Tenant with appropriate wire transfer, ACH and direct deposit information in a Notice from Landlord to Tenant. If Landlord directs, by written request, Tenant to pay any Rent or any Additional Charges to any party other than Landlord, Tenant shall send to Landlord, simultaneously with such payment, a copy of the transmittal letter or invoice and a check whereby such payment is made or such other evidence of payment as Landlord may reasonably require.

3.5     Net Lease . Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that (i) this Lease is and is intended to be what is commonly referred to as a “net, net, net” or “triple net” lease, and (ii) the Rent (including, for the avoidance of doubt, following commencement of the obligation to pay Variable Rent hereunder, the Base Rent, Variable Rent and Convention Center Rent components of the Rent) and Additional Charges shall be paid absolutely net to Landlord, without abatement, deferment, reduction, defense, counterclaim, claim, demand, notice, deduction or offset of any kind whatsoever, so that this Lease shall yield to Landlord the full amount or benefit of the installments of Rent (including, for the avoidance of doubt, following commencement of the obligation to pay Variable Rent hereunder, the Base Rent, Variable Rent and Convention Center Rent components of the Rent) and Additional Charges throughout the Term, all as more fully set forth in Article V and except and solely to the extent expressly provided in Article XIV (in connection with a Casualty Event), in Article XV (in connection with a Condemnation), and in Section 3.1 (in connection with the “true-up”, if any, applicable to the onset of a Variable Rent Payment Period). If Landlord commences any proceedings for non-payment of Rent, Tenant will not interpose any defense, offset, claim, counterclaim or cross complaint or similar pleading of any nature or description in such proceedings unless Tenant would lose or waive such claim by the failure to assert it. This shall not,

79




however, be construed as a waiver of Tenant’s right to assert such claims in a separate action brought by Tenant. The covenants to pay Rent and Additional Charges hereunder are independent covenants, and Tenant shall have no right to hold back, deduct, defer, reduce, offset or fail to pay any such amounts for default by Landlord or for any other reason whatsoever, except solely as and to the extent provided in Section 3.1 and this Section 3.5 .

ARTICLE IV
ADDITIONAL CHARGES

4.1     Impositions . Subject to Article XII relating to permitted contests, Tenant shall pay, or cause to be paid, all Impositions as and when due and payable during the Term to the applicable taxing authority or other party imposing the same before any fine, penalty, premium or interest may be added for non-payment (provided, (i) such covenant shall not be construed to require early or advance payments that would reduce or discount the amount otherwise owed and (ii) Tenant shall not be required to pay any Impositions that under the terms of any applicable Ground Lease are required to be paid by the ground lessor thereunder). Tenant shall make such payments directly to the taxing authorities where feasible, and on a monthly basis furnish to Landlord a summary of such payments, together, upon the request of Landlord, with copies of official receipts or other reasonably satisfactory proof evidencing such payments. If Tenant is not permitted to, or it is otherwise not feasible for Tenant to, make such payments directly to the taxing authorities or other applicable party, then Tenant shall make such payments to Landlord at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the due date, and Landlord shall make such payments to the taxing authorities or other applicable party prior to the due date. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant any bills received by Landlord for Impositions, promptly following Landlord’s receipt thereof. Tenant’s obligation to pay Impositions shall be absolutely fixed upon the date such Impositions become a lien upon the Leased Property to the extent payable during the Term or any part thereof, subject to Article XII . Notwithstanding anything in the first sentence of this Section 4.1 to the contrary, if any Imposition may, at the option of the taxpayer, lawfully be paid in installments, whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of such Imposition, Tenant may pay the same, and any accrued interest on the unpaid balance of such Imposition, in installments as the same respectively become due and before any fine, penalty, premium or further interest may be added thereto.

(a) Landlord or Landlord REIT shall prepare and file all tax returns and reports as may be required by Legal Requirements with respect to Landlord’s net income, gross receipts, franchise taxes and taxes on its capital stock and any other returns required to be filed by or in the name of Landlord (the “Landlord Tax Returns”), and Tenant or Tenant’s applicable direct or indirect parent shall prepare and file all other tax returns and reports as may be required by Legal Requirements with respect to or relating to the Leased Property (including all Capital Improvements) and Tenant’s Property. If any property covered by this Lease is classified as personal property for tax purposes, Tenant shall file all required personal property tax returns in such jurisdictions where it is required to file pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements and provide copies to Landlord upon request.


80




(b) Any refund due from any taxing authority in respect of any Imposition paid by or on behalf of Tenant shall be paid over to or retained by Tenant, and any refund due from any taxing authority in respect of any Imposition paid by or on behalf of Landlord, if any, shall be paid over to or retained by Landlord.

(c) Landlord and Tenant shall, upon request of the other, provide such data as is maintained by the Party to whom the request is made with respect to the Leased Property as may be necessary to prepare any required tax returns and reports. Landlord, to the extent it possesses the same, and Tenant, to the extent it possesses the same, shall provide the other Party, upon request, with cost and depreciation records necessary for filing returns for any property classified as personal property. Where Landlord is legally required to file personal property tax returns, Landlord shall provide Tenant with copies of assessment notices indicating a value in excess of the reported value in sufficient time for Tenant to file a protest.

(d) Billings for reimbursement by Tenant to Landlord of personal property or real property taxes and any taxes due under the Landlord Tax Returns, if and to the extent Tenant is responsible for such taxes under the terms of this Section 4.1 (subject to Article XII ), shall be accompanied by copies of a bill therefor and payments thereof which identify in reasonable detail the personal property or real property or other tax obligations of Landlord with respect to which such payments are made.

(e) Impositions imposed or assessed in respect of the tax-fiscal period during which the Commencement Date (or, with respect to the Convention Center Facility, during which the date hereof occurred) or the Expiration Date occurs shall be adjusted and prorated between Landlord and Tenant; provided , that Tenant’s obligation to pay its prorated share of Impositions imposed or assessed before the Expiration Date in respect of a tax-fiscal period during the Term shall survive the Expiration Date (and its right to contest the same pursuant to Article XII shall survive the Stated Expiration Date). Landlord will not enter into agreements that will result in, or consent to the imposition of, additional Impositions without Tenant’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided , in each case, Tenant is given reasonable opportunity to participate in the process leading to such agreement. Impositions imposed or assessed in respect of any tax-fiscal period occurring (in whole or in part) prior to the Commencement Date (or the date hereof, as applicable), if any, shall be Tenant’s obligation to pay or cause to be paid.

4.2     Utilities and Other Matters . Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all charges for electricity, power, gas, oil, water and other utilities used in the Leased Property. Tenant shall also pay or reimburse Landlord for all costs and expenses of any kind whatsoever which at any time with respect to the Term hereof may be imposed against Landlord by reason of any Property Documents, or with respect to easements, licenses or other rights over, across or with respect to any adjacent or other property which benefits the Leased Property or any Capital Improvement, including any and all costs and expenses associated with any utility, drainage and parking easements relating to the Leased Property (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any costs and expenses under any Fee Mortgage Documents).  
    

81




4.3     Compliance Certificate . Landlord shall deliver to Tenant, promptly following Landlord’s receipt thereof, any bills received by Landlord for items required to be paid by Tenant hereunder, including, without limitation, Impositions, utilities and insurance. Promptly upon request of Landlord (but so long as no Event of Default is continuing no more frequently than one time per Fiscal Quarter), Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a certification stating that all or a specified portion of Impositions, utilities, insurance premiums or, to the extent specified by Landlord, any other amounts payable by Tenant hereunder that have, in each case, come due prior to the date of such certification have been paid (or that such payments are being contested in good faith by Tenant in accordance herewith) and specifying the portion of the Leased Property to which such payments relate.
    
4.4     Impound Account . At Landlord’s option following the occurrence and during the continuation of a monetary Tenant Event of Default (to be exercised by thirty (30) days’ written notice to Tenant), and provided Tenant is not already being required to impound such payments in accordance with the requirements of Section 31.3 below, Tenant shall be required to deposit, at the time of any payment of Rent, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12 th ) of the sum of (i) Tenant’s estimated annual real and personal property taxes required pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof (as reasonably determined by Landlord), and (ii) Tenant’s estimated annual insurance premium costs pursuant to Article XIII hereof (as reasonably determined by Landlord). Such amounts shall be applied to the payment of the obligations in respect of which said amounts were deposited, on or before the respective dates on which the same or any of them would become due. The reasonable cost of administering such impound account shall be paid by Tenant. Nothing in this Section 4.4 shall be deemed to affect any other right or remedy of Landlord hereunder.


ARTICLE V
NO TERMINATION, ABATEMENT, ETC.

Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease, Tenant shall remain bound by this Lease in accordance with its terms. The obligations of Landlord and Tenant hereunder shall be separate and independent covenants and agreements and the Rent and all other sums payable by Tenant hereunder shall continue to be payable in all events unless the obligations to pay the same shall be terminated pursuant to the express provisions of this Lease or by termination of this Lease as to all or any portion of the Leased Property other than by reason of a Tenant Event of Default. Without limitation of the preceding sentence, the respective obligations of Landlord and Tenant shall not be affected by reason of, except as expressly set forth in Articles XIV and XV , (i) any damage to or destruction of the Leased Property, including any Capital Improvement or any portion thereof from whatever cause, or any Condemnation of the Leased Property, including any Capital Improvement or any portion thereof or, discontinuance of any service or utility servicing the same; (ii) the lawful or unlawful prohibition of, or restriction upon, Tenant’s use of the Leased Property, including any Capital Improvement or any portion thereof or the interference with such use by any Person or by reason of eviction by paramount title; (iii) any claim that Tenant has or might have against Landlord by reason of any default or breach of any warranty by Landlord hereunder or under any other agreement between Landlord and Tenant or to which Landlord and Tenant are parties;

82




(iv) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, consolidation, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or other proceedings affecting Landlord or any assignee or transferee of Landlord; or (v) for any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing. Tenant hereby specifically waives all rights arising from any occurrence whatsoever which may now or hereafter be conferred upon it by law (a) to modify, surrender or terminate this Lease or quit or surrender the Leased Property or any portion thereof, or (b) which may entitle Tenant to any abatement, deduction, reduction, suspension or deferment of or defense, counterclaim, claim or set-off against the Rent or other sums payable by Tenant hereunder, except in each case as may be otherwise specifically provided in this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Article V shall preclude Tenant from bringing a separate action against Landlord for any matter described in the foregoing clauses (ii), (iii) or (v) and Tenant is not waiving other rights and remedies not expressly waived herein. Tenant’s agreement that, except as may be otherwise specifically provided in this Lease, any eviction by paramount title as described in item (ii) above shall not affect Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, shall not in any way discharge or diminish any obligation of any insurer under any policy of title or other insurance, and, to the extent the recovery thereof is not necessary to compensate Landlord for any damages incurred by any such eviction, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit for any sums recovered by Landlord under any such policy of title or other insurance in respect of any such eviction up to the maximum amount paid by Tenant to Landlord under this Article V and Article XIV hereof in respect of any such eviction or the duration thereof, and Landlord, upon request by Tenant, shall assign Landlord’s rights under such policies to Tenant provided such assignment does not adversely affect Landlord’s rights under any such policy and provided further , that Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and save Landlord harmless from and against any liability, cost or expense of any kind that may be imposed upon Landlord in connection with any such assignment except to the extent such liability, cost or expense arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord.


ARTICLE VI
OWNERSHIP OF REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY

6.1     Ownership of the Leased Property .

(a)    Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that they have executed and delivered this Lease with the understanding that (i) the Leased Property is the property of Landlord, (ii) Tenant has only the right to the possession and use of the Leased Property upon the terms and conditions of this Lease, (iii) this Lease is a “true lease,” is not a financing lease, mortgage, equitable mortgage, deed of trust, trust agreement, security agreement or other financing or trust arrangement, and the economic realities of this Lease are those of a true lease, (iv) the business relationship created by this Lease and any related documents is and at all times shall remain that of landlord and tenant, (v) this Lease has been entered into by each Party in reliance upon the mutual covenants, conditions and agreements contained herein, and (vi) none of the agreements contained herein is intended, nor shall the same be deemed or construed, to create a partnership between Landlord and Tenant, to make them joint venturers, to make Tenant an agent, legal representative, partner, subsidiary or

83




employee of Landlord, or to make Landlord in any way responsible for the debts, obligations or losses of Tenant.


(b)    Each of the Parties covenants and agrees, subject to Section 6.1(d) , not to (i) file any income tax return or other associated documents, (ii) file any other document with or submit any document to any governmental body or authority, or (iii) enter into any written contractual arrangement with any Person, in each case that takes a position other than that this Lease is a “true lease” with Landlord as owner of the Leased Property (except as expressly set forth below) and Tenant as the tenant of the Leased Property.  For U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes, Landlord and Tenant agree that (x) Landlord shall be treated as the owner of the Leased Property eligible to claim depreciation deductions under Sections 167 or 168 of the Code with respect to all Leased Property excluding the Leased Property described in clause (y) below, and (y) Tenant shall be treated as owner of, and eligible to claim depreciation deductions under Sections 167 or 168 of the Code with respect to, all Tenant Capital Improvements (including, for avoidance of doubt and for purposes of this sentence, Tenant Material Capital Improvements) and Material Capital Improvements funded by Landlord pursuant to a Landlord MCI Financing that is treated as a loan for such income tax purposes.

(c)    If, notwithstanding (i) the form and substance of this Lease, (ii) the intent of the Parties, and (iii) the language contained herein providing that this Lease shall at all times be construed, interpreted and applied to create an indivisible lease of all of the Leased Property, any court of competent jurisdiction finds that this Lease is a financing arrangement, then this Lease shall be considered a secured financing agreement and Landlord’s title to the Leased Property shall constitute a perfected first priority lien in Landlord’s favor on the Leased Property to secure the payment and performance of all the obligations of Tenant hereunder (and to that end, Tenant hereby grants, assigns and transfers to Landlord a security interest in all right, title or interest in or to any and all of the Leased Property, as security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due of Tenant’s obligations hereunder). In such event, Tenant (and each Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee) authorizes Landlord, at the expense of Tenant, to make any filings or take other actions as Landlord reasonably determines are necessary or advisable in order to effect fully this Lease or to more fully perfect or renew the rights of Landlord, and to subordinate to Landlord the lien of any Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, with respect to the Leased Property (it being understood that nothing in this Section 6.1(c) shall affect the rights of a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee under Article XVII hereof). At any time and from time to time upon the request of Landlord, and at the expense of Tenant, Tenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver such further documents and do such other acts as Landlord may reasonably request in order to effect fully this Lease or to more fully perfect or renew the rights of Landlord with respect to the Leased Property as described in this Lease. If Tenant should reasonably conclude that, as a result of change in law or GAAP accounting standards, or a change in agency interpretation thereof, GAAP or the SEC require treatment different from that set forth in Section 6.1(b) for applicable non-tax purposes, then (x) Tenant shall promptly give prior Notice to Landlord, accompanied by a written statement that references the applicable

84




pronouncement that controls such treatment and contains a brief description and/or analysis that sets forth in reasonable detail the basis upon which Tenant reached such conclusion, and (y) notwithstanding Section 6.1(b) and this Section 6.1(c) , Tenant may comply with such requirements.
    
(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that, as of the Commencement Date, for GAAP purposes this Lease is not expected to be treated as a “true lease” and that the Parties will prepare Financial Statements consistent with GAAP (and for purposes of any SEC or other similar governmental filing purposes), as applicable.

(e)    Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the Rent is the fair market rent for the use of the Leased Property and was agreed to by Landlord and Tenant on that basis, and the execution and delivery of, and the performance by Tenant of its obligations under, this Lease does not constitute a transfer of all or any part of the Leased Property, but rather the creation of the Leasehold Estate subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease.

(f)    Tenant waives any claim or defense based upon the characterization of this Lease as anything other than a true lease of the Leased Property. Tenant stipulates and agrees (1) not to challenge the validity, enforceability or characterization of this Lease of the Leased Property as a true lease, and (2) not to assert or take or omit to take any action inconsistent with the agreements and understandings set forth in Section 1.2 , Section 3.5 or this Section 6.1 . The expressions of intent, the waivers, the representations and warranties, the covenants, the agreements and the stipulations set forth in this Section 6.1 are a material inducement to Landlord entering into this Lease.

6.2     Ownership of Tenant’s Property . Tenant shall, during the entire Term, (a) own (or lease) and maintain on the Leased Property adequate and sufficient Tenant’s Property, and (b) maintain all of such Tenant’s Property in good order, condition and repair, in all cases as shall be necessary and appropriate in order to operate the Leased Property for the Primary Intended Use in material compliance with all applicable licensure and certification requirements and in material compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements, Insurance Requirements and Gaming Regulations. If any of Tenant’s Property requires replacement in order to comply with the foregoing, Tenant shall replace it with similar property of the same or better quality at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Subject to the foregoing and the other express terms and conditions of this Lease, Tenant may sell, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of Tenant’s Property in its discretion in the ordinary course of its business and Landlord shall have no rights to such sold, transferred, conveyed or otherwise disposed of Tenant’s Property. In the case of any such Tenant’s Property that is leased (rather than owned) by Tenant, Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any agreements entered into after the Commencement Date (or, with respect to the Convention Center Facility, the date hereof) pursuant to which Tenant leases such Tenant’s Property are assignable to third parties in connection with any transfer by Tenant to a replacement lessee or operator at the end of the Term. To the extent not transferred to a Successor Tenant pursuant to Article XXXVI hereof, Tenant shall remove all of Tenant’s Property from the Leased Property at the end of the Term. Any tangible Tenant’s Property left on the Leased Property at the end of the Term whose ownership was not transferred to a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or its designee or assignee that

85




entered into or succeeded to a New Lease pursuant to the terms hereof or to a Successor Tenant pursuant to Article XXXVI hereof shall be deemed abandoned by Tenant and shall become the property of Landlord.

Landlord agrees it will not withhold consent to utility easements and other similar encumbrances made in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business conducted on the Leased Property in accordance with the Primary Intended Use, provided the same does not adversely

10.4 Landlord’s Right of First Offer to Fund Material Capital Improvements .

(a) Landlord’s Right to Submit Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal . In advance of commencing any Work in connection with any Material Capital Improvement (provided, for purposes of clarification, that preliminary planning, designing, budgeting, evaluating (including environmental and integrity testing and the like) (collectively, “ Preliminary Studies ”), permitting and demolishing in preparation for such Material Capital Improvement shall not be considered “commencing” for purposes hereof), Tenant shall provide written notice (“ Tenant’s MCI Intent Notice ”) of Tenant’s intent to do so, which notice shall be accompanied by (i) a reasonably detailed description of the proposed Material Capital Improvement, (ii) the then-projected cost of construction of the proposed Material Capital Improvement, (iii) copies of the plans and specifications, permits, licenses, contracts and Preliminary Studies concerning the proposed Material Capital Improvement, to the extent then-available, (iv) reasonable evidence that such proposed Material Capital Improvement will, upon completion, comply with all applicable Legal Requirements, and (v) reasonably detailed information regarding the terms upon which Tenant is considering seeking financing therefor, if any. To the extent in Tenant’s possession or control, Tenant shall provide to Landlord any additional information about such proposed Material Capital Improvements which Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord (or, with respect to financing structured as a loan rather than as ownership of the real property by Landlord with a lease back to Tenant, Landlord’s Affiliate) may, but shall be under no obligation to, provide all (but not less than all) of the financing necessary to fund the applicable Material Capital Improvement (along with related fees and expenses, such as title fees, costs of permits, legal fees and other similar transaction costs) by complying with the option exercise requirements set forth below. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of Tenant’s MCI Intent Notice, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing as to whether Landlord (or, if applicable, its Affiliate) is willing to provide financing for such proposed Material Capital Improvement and, if so, the terms and conditions upon which Landlord (or, if applicable, its Affiliate) is willing to do so in reasonable detail, in the form of a proposed term sheet (such terms and conditions, “ Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal ”). Upon receipt, Tenant shall have ten (10) days to accept, reject or commence negotiating Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal.

(b) If Tenant Accepts Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal . If Tenant accepts Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal (either initially or, after negotiation, a modified version thereof) (an “ Accepted MCI Financing Proposal ”) and such financing is actually consummated between Tenant and Landlord (or, if applicable, its Affiliate) as more particularly provided in Section 10.4(f) below (a “ Landlord MCI Financing ”), then, as and when constructed, such Material Capital Improvement shall be deemed part of the Leased Property for all purposes except as specifically provided in Section 6.1(b) hereof (and, without limitation, such Material Capital Improvements shall be surrendered to (and all rights therein shall be relinquished in favor of) Landlord upon the Expiration Date).


94




(c) If Landlord Declines to Make Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal . If Landlord declines or fails to timely submit Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal, Tenant shall be permitted to either (1) use then-existing available financing or, subject to Article XVII , enter into financing arrangements with any lender, preferred equity holder and/or other third-party financing source (a “ Third‑Party MCI Financing ”) for such Material Capital Improvement or (2) use Cash to pay for such Material Capital Improvement, provided , that if Tenant has not used then-existing, or entered into a new, Third‑Party MCI Financing (or commenced such Material Capital Improvement utilizing Cash) by the date that is twelve (12) months following delivery of Tenant’s MCI Intent Notice, then, prior to entering into any such Third‑Party MCI Financing and/or commencing such Material Capital Improvement, Tenant shall again be required to send Tenant’s MCI Intent Notice seeking financing from Landlord (on the terms contemplated by this Section 10.4 ).

(d) If Tenant Declines Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal . If Landlord timely submits Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal and Tenant rejects or fails to accept or commence negotiating Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal within the applicable 10‑day period (or, following commencing negotiating said proposal, Tenant notifies Landlord of Tenant’s decision to cease such discussions), then, subject to the remaining terms of this paragraph, Tenant shall be permitted to either (1) use then-existing, or, subject to Article XVII , enter into a new, Third‑Party MCI Financing for such Material Capital Improvement (subject to the following proviso) or (2) use Cash to pay for such Material Capital Improvement, provided , that Tenant may not use then-existing, or enter into a new, Third‑Party MCI Financing, except in each case on terms that are, taken as a whole, economically more advantageous to Tenant than those offered under Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal, provided , further , that in no event shall Tenant be obligated to obtain financing from Landlord to the extent such financing from Landlord would violate or cause a default or breach under any Material Indebtedness of Tenant’s Parent Entity or Tenant, provided , however , that Tenant shall use good faith efforts to avoid, and cause Tenant’s Parent to avoid, agreeing to any contractual obligations that would vitiate Landlord’s right to provide financing for Tenant’s proposed Material Capital Improvement as provided in this Section 10.4 . In determining if financing is economically more advantageous, consideration may be given to, among other items, (x) pricing, amortization, length of term and duration of commitment period of such financing; (y) the cost, availability and terms of any financing sufficient to fund such Material Capital Improvement and other expenditures which are material in relation to the cost of such Material Capital Improvement (if any) which are intended to be funded in connection with the construction of such Material Capital Improvement and which are related to the use and operation of such Material Capital Improvement and (z) other customary considerations. Tenant shall provide Landlord with reasonable evidence of the terms of any such financing. If Tenant has not used then-existing, or entered into a new, Third‑Party MCI Financing (or commenced such Material Capital Improvement utilizing Cash) by the date that is twelve (12) months following receipt of Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal, then, prior to entering into any such Third‑Party MCI Financing and/or commencing such Material Capital Improvement after such twelve (12) month period, Tenant shall again be required to send Tenant’s MCI Intent Notice seeking financing from Landlord (on the terms contemplated by this Section 10.4 ). For purposes of clarification, Tenant may use Cash to finance any applicable Material Capital Improvement (subject to the express terms and conditions hereof, including, without limitation, Tenant’s obligation to provide Tenant’s MCI Intent Notice).


95




(e) Ownership of Material Capital Improvements Not Financed by Landlord . If Tenant constructs a Material Capital Improvement utilizing Third‑Party MCI Financing or Cash in accordance with Sections 10.4(c) or (d) (such Material Capital Improvement being sometimes referred to in this Lease as a “ Tenant Material Capital Improvement ”), then, (A) as and when constructed, such Material Capital Improvement shall be deemed part of the Leased Property for all purposes except as specifically provided in Section 6.1(b) hereof, (B) upon any termination of this Lease prior to the Stated Expiration Date as a result of a Tenant Event of Default (except in the event a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee has exercised its right to obtain a New Lease and complies in all respects with Section 17.1(f) and any other applicable provisions of this Lease), such Material Capital Improvements shall be owned by Landlord without any reimbursement by Landlord to Tenant, and, (C) upon the Stated Expiration Date, such Material Capital Improvements shall be transferred to Tenant; provided, however, upon written notice to Tenant at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the Stated Expiration Date, Landlord shall have the option to reimburse Tenant for such Tenant Material Capital Improvements in an amount equal to the Fair Market Ownership Value thereof, and, if Landlord elects to reimburse Tenant for such Tenant Material Capital Improvements, any amount due to Tenant for such reimbursement shall be credited against any amounts owed by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease as of the Stated Expiration Date and any remaining portion of such amount shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant on the Stated Expiration Date. If Landlord fails to deliver such written notice electing to reimburse Tenant for such Tenant Material Capital Improvements at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the Stated Expiration Date, or otherwise does not consummate such reimbursement at least sixty (60) days prior to the Stated Expiration Date (other than as a result of Tenant’s acts or omissions in violation of this Lease), then Landlord shall be deemed to have elected not to reimburse Tenant for such Tenant Material Capital Improvements. If Landlord elects or is deemed to have elected not to reimburse Tenant for such Tenant Material Capital Improvements in accordance with the foregoing sentence, Tenant shall have the option to either (1) prior to the Stated Expiration Date, remove such Tenant Material Capital Improvements and restore the affected Leased Property to the same or better condition existing prior to such Tenant Material Capital Improvement being constructed, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, in which event such Tenant Material Capital Improvements shall be owned by Tenant or (2) leave the applicable Tenant Material Capital Improvements at the Leased Property at the Stated Expiration Date, at no cost to Landlord, in which event such Tenant Material Capital Improvements shall be owned by Landlord.

(f) Landlord MCI Financing . In the event of an Accepted MCI Financing Proposal, Tenant shall provide Landlord with the following prior to any advance of funds under such Landlord MCI Financing:
i. any information, certificates, licenses, permits or documents reasonably requested by Landlord which are necessary and obtainable to confirm that Tenant will be able to use the Material Capital Improvements upon completion thereof in accordance with the Primary Intended Use, including all required federal, state or local government licenses and approvals;
ii. an officer’s certificate and, if requested, a certificate from Tenant’s Architect providing appropriate backup information, setting forth in reasonable detail the projected or actual costs related to such Material Capital Improvements;


96




iii. except to the extent covered by the amendment referenced in clause (iv) below, a construction loan and/or funding agreement (and such other related instruments and agreements), in a form reasonably agreed to by Landlord and Tenant, reflecting the terms of the Landlord MCI Financing, setting forth the terms of the Accepted MCI Financing Proposal, and without additional requirements on Tenant (including, without limitation, additional bonding or guaranty requirements) except those which are reasonable and customary and consistent in all respects with this Section 10.4 and the terms of the Accepted MCI Financing Proposal;

iv. except to the extent covered by the construction loan and/or funding agreement referenced in clause (iii) above, an amendment to this Lease, in a form reasonably agreed to by Landlord and Tenant, which may include, among other things, an increase in the Rent (in amounts as agreed upon by the Parties pursuant to the Accepted MCI Financing Proposal), and other provisions as may be necessary or appropriate;

v. a deed conveying title to Landlord to any additional Land acquired for the purpose of constructing the Material Capital Improvement, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances except those approved by Landlord, and accompanied by (x) an owner’s policy of title insurance insuring the Fair Market Ownership Value of fee simple or leasehold (as applicable) title to such Land and any improvements thereon, free of any exceptions other than liens and encumbrances that do not materially interfere with the intended use of the Leased Property or are otherwise approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (y) an ALTA survey thereof;

vi. if Landlord obtains a lender’s policy of title insurance in connection with such Landlord MCI Financing, for each advance, endorsements to any such policy of title insurance reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Landlord (i) updating the same without any additional exception except those that do not materially affect the value of such land and do not interfere with the intended use of the Leased Property, or as may otherwise be permitted under this Lease, or as may be approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (ii) increasing the coverage thereof by an amount equal to the then-advanced cost of the Material Capital Improvement; and

vii. such other billing statements, invoices, certificates, endorsements, opinions, site assessments, surveys, resolutions, ratifications, lien releases and waivers and other instruments and information which are reasonable and customary and consistent in all respects with this Section 10.4 and the terms of the Accepted MCI Financing Proposal.

In the event that (1) Tenant is unable, for reasons beyond Tenant’s reasonable control, to satisfy any of the requirements set forth in this Section 10.4(f) (and Landlord is unable or unwilling to waive the same), (2) Landlord and Tenant are unable (despite good faith efforts continuing for at least sixty (60) days after agreement on the Accepted MCI Financing Proposal) to agree on any of the requirements of, or the form of any document required under, this Section 10.4(f) , or (3) Landlord fails or refuses to consummate the Landlord MCI Financing and/or advance funds thereunder, then,

97




notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.4 , Tenant shall be entitled to use then-existing, or, subject to Article XVII , enter into a new, Third‑Party MCI Financing for such Material Capital Improvement or use Cash to pay for such Material Capital Improvement, without any requirement to send a further Tenant’s MCI Intent Notice to Landlord, provided, that such Material Capital Improvement shall be treated hereunder as a Tenant Material Capital Improvement, unless the circumstances described in clause (1) shall have occurred.
10.5 Minimum Capital Expenditures .

(a) Minimum Capital Expenditures .

(i) Initial Minimum Cap Ex Requirement . During the Initial Minimum Cap Ex Period, Tenant shall expend Capital Expenditures in an aggregate amount equal to no less than the Initial Minimum Cap Ex Amount (the “ Initial Minimum Cap Ex Requirement ”), which Capital Expenditures shall include, without limitation, such expenditures necessary to complete the renovation and refurbishment of at least four hundred twenty-nine (429) hotel rooms and four hundred eighty-nine (489) hotel rooms at the Mardi Gras North and Mardi Gras South towers located at the Leased Property, respectively, at a standard of quality similar to the renovation and refurbishment performed by Tenant with respect to the rooms located at the Carnaval Tower.
(ii) Annual Minimum Building and Improvement Cap Ex Requirement . During each full Lease Year during the Term, commencing with the Lease Year that commences on January 1, 2022, measured as of the last day of each such Lease Year, Tenant shall expend Capital Expenditures with respect to the Leased Property (the “ Annual Minimum Building and Improvement Cap Ex Amount ”) in an aggregate that is equal to at least one percent (1%) of the sum of the Net Revenue from the Facility for the prior Lease Year on Capital Expenditures that constitute installation, restoration, repair, maintenance or replacement of any physical improvements or other physical items with respect to, or for, the Leased Property under this Lease (the “ Annual Minimum Building and Improvement Cap Ex Requirement ”).
(iii) Acquisitions of Material Property . If any real property having a value greater than Fifty Million and No/100 Dollars ($50,000,000.00) is acquired by Landlord and included in this Lease as part of the Leased Property, then the Minimum Cap Ex Requirement shall be adjusted as may be agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant in connection with such acquisition and the inclusion of such property as Leased Property hereunder.
(iv) Application of Capital Expenditures . For the avoidance of doubt: (i) expenditures with respect to any property that is not included as Leased Property under this Lease shall not constitute “Capital Expenditures” nor count toward the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements and (ii) expenditures in respect of furniture, fixtures and equipment (including gaming equipment) to be installed or located at the Leased Property shall count towards the Initial Minimum Cap Ex Requirement but shall not count towards Annual Minimum Building and Improvement Cap Ex Requirement.
(v) Unavoidable Delays . In the event an Unavoidable Delay occurs during the Term that delays Tenant’s ability to perform Capital Expenditures prior to the expiration of the applicable period for satisfying the applicable Minimum Cap Ex

98




Requirements, such period during which such Unavoidable Delay occurred shall be extended, on a day-for-day basis, for the same amount of time that such Unavoidable Delay affects Tenant’s ability to perform the Capital Expenditures up to a maximum extension in each instance of up to eighteen (18) months. For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant’s obligation to satisfy the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements during any period during which an Unavoidable Delay did not occur shall not be extended as a result of the occurrence of an Unavoidable Delay during a prior period.
(vi) Certain Remedies . The Parties acknowledge that Tenant’s agreement to satisfy the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements as required in this Lease is a material inducement to Landlord’s agreement to enter into this Lease and, accordingly, if Tenant fails to expend Capital Expenditures (or deposit funds into the Cap Ex Reserve) as and when required by this Lease and then, further, fails to cure such failure within sixty (60) days of receipt of written notice of such failure from Landlord, then the same shall be a Tenant Event of Default hereunder, and without limitation of any of Landlord’s other rights and remedies, Landlord shall have the right to seek the remedy of specific performance to require Tenant to expend the Required Capital Expenditures (or deposit funds into the Cap Ex Reserve). Furthermore, for the avoidance of doubt, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the obligation of Tenant to expend the Required Capital Expenditures (or deposit funds into the Cap Ex Reserve) as provided in this Lease in each case constitutes a part of the obligations of Tenant that are guaranteed by the Guarantor and, with respect to Required Capital Expenditures required to be spent during the Term, shall survive termination of this Lease.

(b) Cap Ex Reserve .

(i) Deposits in Lieu of Expenditures . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, if Tenant does not expend Capital Expenditures sufficient to satisfy the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements, then, so long as, as of the last date when such Minimum Cap Ex Requirements may be satisfied hereunder, there are Cap Ex Reserve Funds (as defined below) on deposit in the Cap Ex Reserve (as defined below) in an aggregate amount at least equal to such deficiency, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in breach or default of its obligations hereunder to satisfy the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements, provided that Tenant shall spend such amounts so deposited in the Cap Ex Reserve within six (6) months after the last date when the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements to which such amounts relate may be satisfied hereunder (subject to extension in the event of an Unavoidable Delay during such six (6) month period, on a day-for-day basis, for the same amount of time that such Unavoidable Delay delays Tenant’s ability to perform the Capital Expenditures). For the avoidance of doubt, any funds disbursed from the Cap Ex Reserve and spent on Capital Expenditures as described in this Section shall be applied to the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements for the period for which such funds were deposited (and shall be deemed to be the funds that have been in the Cap Ex Reserve for the longest period of time) and shall not be applied to the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements for the subsequent period in which they are actually spent.

(ii) Deposits into Cap Ex Reserve . Tenant may, at its election, at any time, deposit funds (the “ Cap Ex Reserve Funds ”) into an Eligible Account held by Tenant

99




(the “ Cap Ex Reserve ”). If required by Fee Mortgagee, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a customary and reasonable control agreement for the benefit of Fee Mortgagee and Landlord with respect to the Cap Ex Reserve. Tenant shall not commingle Cap Ex Reserve Funds with other monies held by Tenant or any other party. All interest on Cap Ex Reserve Funds shall be for the benefit of Tenant and added to and become a part of the Cap Ex Reserve and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other monies deposited in the Cap Ex Reserve. Tenant shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to the interest earned on the Cap Ex Reserve Funds credited or paid to Tenant.

(iii) Disbursements from Cap Ex Reserve . Tenant shall be entitled to use Cap Ex Reserve Funds solely for the purpose of paying for (or reimbursing Tenant for) the cost of Capital Expenditures. Landlord shall permit disbursements to Tenant of Cap Ex Reserve Funds from the Cap Ex Reserve to pay for Capital Expenditures or to reimburse Tenant for Capital Expenditures, within ten (10) days following written request from Tenant, which request shall specify the amount of the requested disbursement and a general description of the type of Capital Expenditures to be paid or reimbursed using such Cap Ex Reserve Funds. Tenant shall not make a request for disbursement from the Cap Ex Reserve (x) more frequently than once in any calendar month nor (y) in amounts less than Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000.00). Any Cap Ex Reserve Funds remaining in the Cap Ex Reserve on satisfaction of the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements for which such Cap Ex Reserve Funds were deposited or on the Expiration Date shall be returned by Landlord to Tenant, provided that Landlord shall have the right to apply Cap Ex Reserve Funds remaining on the Expiration Date against any amounts owed by Tenant to Landlord as of the Expiration Date and/or the sum of any remaining Required Capital Expenditures required to have been incurred prior to the Expiration Date.

(iv) Security Interest in Cap Ex Reserve Funds . Tenant grants to Landlord a first-priority security interest in the Cap Ex Reserve and all Cap Ex Reserve Funds, as additional security for performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Landlord shall have the right to collaterally assign the security interest granted to Landlord in the Cap Ex Reserve and Cap Ex Reserve Funds to any Fee Mortgagee. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, (i) Landlord may not foreclose upon the lien on the Cap Ex Reserve and Cap Ex Reserve Funds, and Fee Mortgagee may not apply the Cap Ex Reserve Funds against the Fee Mortgage, in each case prior to the occurrence of the termination of this Lease by Landlord pursuant to Section 16.2(x) hereof, and (ii) any time during which a Tenant Event of Default is continuing, Fee Mortgagee or Landlord may apply Cap Ex Reserve Funds toward the payment of Capital Expenditures incurred by Tenant. Landlord acknowledges that a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee may have a Lien on the Cap Ex Reserve, which Lien in favor of a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee is senior in priority to the lien thereon in favor of Landlord.

(c) Capital Expenditures Report . Within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month during the Term, Tenant shall submit to Landlord a report, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C  setting forth, with respect to such month, on an unaudited, basis, (A)

100




revenues for the Leased Property, and (B) Capital Expenditures with respect to the Leased Property. Landlord shall keep each such report confidential in accordance with Section [41.15] of this Lease.

(d) Annual Capital Budget . Tenant shall furnish to Landlord, for informational purposes only, a copy of the annual capital budget for the Facility for each Fiscal Year, in each case not later than fifty-five (55) days following the commencement of the Fiscal Year to which such annual capital budget relates. For the avoidance of doubt, without limitation of Tenant’s Capital Expenditure requirements pursuant to Section 10.5(a) , Tenant shall not be required to comply with such annual capital budget and it shall not be a breach or default by Tenant hereunder in the event Tenant deviates from such annual capital budget.

For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that Tenant has not granted any liens in favor of Landlord as security for its obligations hereunder except as otherwise expressly provided under this Lease, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to prohibit the issuance of a lien on the Equity Interests in Tenant (it being agreed that any foreclosure by a lien holder on such interests in Tenant shall be subject to the restrictions on transfers of interests in Tenant and Change of Control set forth in Article XXII ) or to prohibit Tenant from pledging (A) its Accounts and other Tenant’s Property as collateral (1) in connection with financings of equipment and other purchase money indebtedness or (2) to secure Permitted Leasehold Mortgages, or (B) its Accounts and other property of Tenant (other than Tenant’s Property); provided that Tenant shall in no event pledge to any Person that is not granted a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage hereunder any of Tenant’s Property to the extent that such Tenant’s Property cannot be removed from the Leased Property without damaging or impairing the Leased Property (other than in a de minimis manner).

Such property insurance policy shall be in an amount not less than the greater of (a) Two Billion and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000,000.00) and (b) the full replacement cost of the Facility; provided, that Tenant shall have the right (i) to limit maximum insurance coverage for loss or damage by earthquake (including earth movement) to a minimum amount of the projected ground up loss with a 500-year return period (as determined annually by an independent firm using RMS catastrophe modeling software or equivalent, and taking into account all locations insured under this property insurance, including other locations owned, leased or managed by Tenant), and (ii) to limit maximum insurance coverage for loss or damage by named windstorms per occurrence to a minimum amount of the projected ground up loss (including storm surge) with a 500-year return period (as determined annually by an independent firm using RMS catastrophe software or equivalent, and taking into account all locations insured under this property insurance, including other locations owned, leased or managed by Tenant); (iii) to limit maximum insurance coverage for loss or damage by flood to a minimum amount of Two Hundred Fifty Million and No/100 Dollars ($ 250,000,000.00 ), to the extent commercially available; provided, further, that in the event the premium cost of any earthquake, flood, named windstorm or terrorism peril (as required by Section 13.1(b) ) coverages are available only for a premium that is more than two and one-half (2.5) times the premium paid by Tenant for the third (3rd) year preceding the date of determination for the insurance policy contemplated by this Section 13.1(a) , then Tenant shall be entitled and required to purchase the maximum amount of insurance coverage it reasonably deems most efficient and prudent to purchase for such peril and Tenant shall not be required to spend additional funds to purchase additional coverages insuring against such risks; and provided, further, that certain property coverages other than earthquake, flood and named windstorm may be sub-limited as long as each sub-limit is commercially reasonable and prudent as determined by Tenant and to the extent that the amount of such sub-limit is less than the amount of such sub-limit in effect as of the Commencement Date, such sub-limit is approved by Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

(ii) Such property insurance policy shall include, subject to Section 13.1(a)(i) above: (i) agreed amount coverage and/or a waiver of any co-insurance; (ii) building ordinance coverage (ordinance or law) including loss of the undamaged portions, the cost of demolishing undamaged portions, and the increased cost of rebuilding; and also including, but not limited to, any non-conforming structures or uses; (iii) equipment breakdown coverage (boiler and machinery coverage); (iv) debris removal; and (v) business interruption coverage in an amount not less than two (2) years of Rent and containing an Extended Period of Indemnity endorsement for an additional minimum six months period.

(b) Property Terrorism Insurance . Property Insurance shall be maintained for acts of terrorism covered by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Authorization Act of 2015 (TRIPRA) and acts of terrorism and sabotage not certified by TRIPRA, with limits no less than One Billion Five Hundred Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,500,000,000.00) per occurrence for acts of terrorism covered by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Authorization Act of 2015 (TRIPRA) and Two Hundred Twenty-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($225,000,000.00) for acts of terrorism and sabotage not certified by TRIPRA.

The annual aggregate limit applicable to Commercial General Liability shall apply per location. Tenant will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain coverage as broad as the underlying insurance, including Terrorism Liability coverage, so long as such coverage is available at a commercially reasonable price.

(h) Pollution Liability Insurance . For claims arising from the discharge, dispersal release or escape or any irritant or contaminant into or upon land, any structure, the atmosphere, watercourse or body of water, including groundwater. This shall include on and off-site clean up and emergency response costs and claims arising from above ground and below ground storage tanks. If this policy is provided on a “claims made” basis (i) the retroactive date shall remain as June 26, 1998 for legal liability; and (ii) coverage shall be maintained for two (2) years after the Term.

13.2 Name of Insureds . Except for the insurance required pursuant to Section 13.1(d) with respect to Workers Compensation and Employers Liability, all insurance provided by Tenant as required by this Article XIII shall include Landlord (including specified Landlord related entities as directed by Landlord) as a named insured or additional insured without restrictions beyond the restrictions that apply to Tenant and may include any Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee as an additional insured. The coverage provided to the additional insureds by Tenant’s insurance policies must be at least as broad as that provided to the first named insured on each respective policy. For avoidance of doubt, Landlord looks exclusively to Tenant’s insurance policies to protect itself from claims arising from the Leased Property and Capital Improvements. The required insurance policies shall protect Landlord against Landlord’s acts with respect to the Leased Property in the same manner that they protect Tenant against its acts with respect to the Leased Property. Except for the insurance required pursuant to Section 13.1(d) with respect to Workers Compensation and Employers Liability, the required insurance policies shall be endorsed to include others as additional insureds as required by Landlord and/or the Fee Mortgage Documents and/or Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee. The insurance protection afforded to all insureds (whether named insureds or additional insureds) shall be primary and shall not contribute with any insurance or self-insurance programs maintained by such insureds (including deductibles and self-insured retentions).

13.3 Deductibles or Self-Insured Retentions . Tenant may self-insure such risks that are customarily self-insured by companies of established reputation engaged in the same general line of business in the same general area. All increases in deductibles and self-insured retentions

106




(collectively referred to as “Deductibles” in this Article XIII ) that apply to the insurance policies required by this Article XIII are subject to approval by Landlord, with such approval not to be unreasonable withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant is solely responsible for all Deductibles related to its insurance policies. The Deductibles Tenant has in effect as of the Commencement Date satisfy the requirements of this Section as of the Commencement Date.

13.4 Waivers of Subrogation . Landlord shall not be liable for any loss or damage insured by the insurance policies required to be maintained under this Article XIII and policies issued by Tenant’s captive insurers (including related Deductibles), it being understood that (i) Tenant shall look solely to its insurance for the recovery of such loss or damage; and (ii) such insurers shall have no rights of subrogation against Landlord. Each insurance policy shall contain a clause or endorsement which waives all rights of subrogation against Landlord, Fee Mortgagees and other entities or individuals as reasonably requested by Landlord.

13.5 Limits of Liability and Blanket Policies . The insured limits of liability maintained by Tenant shall be selected by Tenant in a manner consistent with the commercially reasonable practices of similarly situated tenants engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations as the applicable Leased Property. The limits of liability Tenant has in effect as of the Commencement Date satisfy the requirements of this Section as of the Commencement Date. The insurance required by this Article XIII may be effected by a policy or policies of blanket insurance and/or by a combination of primary and excess insurance policies (all of which may insure additional properties owned, operated or managed by Tenant or its Affiliates), provided each policy shall be satisfactory to Landlord, acting reasonably, including, the form of the policy, provided such policies comply with the provisions of this Article XIII .

13.6 Future Changes in Insurance Requirements.

(a) In the event one or more additional locations become Leased Property or Capital Improvements during the Term, whether through acquisition, lease, new construction or other means, Landlord may reasonably amend the insurance requirements set forth in this Article XIII to properly address new risks or exposures to loss, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 13.6(a) . For example, for construction projects, different forms of insurance may be required, such as builders risk, and Landlord and Tenant shall mutually agree upon insurance requirements applicable to the construction contractors. Tenant and Landlord shall work together in good faith to exchange information (including proposed construction agreements) and ascertain appropriate insurance requirements prior to Tenant being required to amend its insurance under this Section 13.6(a) ; provided , however , that any revision to insurance shall only be required if the revised insurance would be customarily maintained by similarly situated tenants engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations as the applicable Leased Property. If Tenant and Landlord are unable to reach a resolution within thirty (30) days of the original notice of requested revision, the arbitration provisions set forth in Section 34.2 shall control .


107




(b) In the event that (1) the operations of Tenant change in the future, and Tenant believes adjustments in Deductibles, insured limits or coverages are warranted, (2) Tenant desires to increase one or more Deductibles, reduce limits of liability below those in place as of the Commencement Date or materially reduce coverage, or (3) not more than once during any twelve (12) month period (or more frequently in connection with a financing or refinancing of a Fee Mortgage), Landlord reasonably determines that the insurance carried by Tenant is not, for any reason (whether by reason of the type, coverage, deductibles, insured limits, the reasonable requirements of Fee Mortgagees, or otherwise) commensurate with insurance customarily maintained by similarly situated tenants engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations, the party seeking the change will advise the other party in writing of the requested insurance revision. Tenant and Landlord shall work together in good faith to determine whether the requested insurance revision shall be made; provided , however , that any revision to insurance shall only be made if the revised insurance would be customarily maintained by similarly situated tenants engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations as the applicable Leased Property. If Tenant and Landlord are unable to reach a resolution within thirty (30) days of the original notice of requested revision, the arbitration provisions set forth in Section 34.2 shall control. Solely with respect to the insurance required by Section 13.1(g) above, in no event shall the outcome of an insurance revision pursuant to this Section 13.6 require Tenant to carry insurance in an amount which exceeds the product of (i) the amounts set forth in Section 13.1(g) hereof and (ii) the CPI Increase.

13.7 Notice of Cancellation or Non-Renewal . Each required insurance policy shall contain an endorsement requiring thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord, Fee Mortgagees and Leasehold Mortgagees of any cancellation or non-renewal. Ten (10) days’ prior written notice shall be required for cancellation for non-payment of premium. Tenant shall secure replacement coverage to comply with the stated insurance requirements and provide new certificates of insurance to Landlord and others as directed by Landlord .

13.8 Copies of Documents . Tenant shall provide (i) binders evidencing renewal coverages no later than the applicable renewal date of each insurance policy required by this Article XIII ; and (ii) copies of all insurance policies required by this Article XIII (including policies issued by Tenant’s captive insurers which are in any way related to the required policies, including policies insuring Deductibles), within one hundred and twenty days (120) after inception date of each, and if additionally required, within ten (10) days of written request by Landlord. In addition, Tenant will supply documents that are related to the required insurance policies on January 1 of each calendar year during the Term and three (3) years afterwards, and as otherwise requested in writing by Landlord. Such documents shall be in formats reasonably acceptable to Landlord and include, but are not limited to, (i) statements of property value by location, (ii) risk modeling reports (e.g., named storms and earthquake), (iii) actuarial reports, (iv) loss/claims reports, (v) detailed summaries of Tenant’s insurance policies and, as respects Tenant’s captive insurers the most recent audited financial statements (including notes therein) and reinsurance agreements. Landlord shall hold the contents of the documents provided by Tenant as confidential; provided that Landlord shall be entitled to disclose the contents of such documents to its

108




insurance consultants, attorneys, accountants and other agents in connection with the administration and/or enforcement of this Lease, and (ii) to any Fee Mortgagees, Permitted Leasehold Mortgagees and potential lenders and their respective representatives, and (iii) as may be required by applicable laws. Landlord shall utilize commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such person or entity to enter into a written agreement to maintain the confidentiality thereof for the benefit of Landlord and Tenant.

13.9 Certificates of Insurance . Certificates of insurance, evidencing the required insurance, shall be delivered to Landlord on the Commencement Date, annually thereafter, and upon written request by Landlord. If required by any Fee Mortgagee, Tenant shall provide endorsements and written confirmations that all premiums have been paid in full.

13.10 Other Requirements . Tenant shall comply with the following additional provisions:

(a) Except as provided in Section 13.10(b) , in the event of a catastrophic loss or multiple losses at multiple properties owned or leased directly or indirectly by CEC and that are insured by CEC, then in the case that (i) such catastrophic loss or multiple losses exhaust any per occurrence or aggregate insurance limits under the property or terrorism insurance policies required by this Article XIII , (ii) at least one (1) such property affected by the catastrophic loss(es) is the Facility hereunder, and (iii) none of the other such properties affected by the catastrophic loss(es) is a Subject Facility (as defined below), then the property and terrorism insurance proceeds received in connection with such catastrophic loss(es) shall be allocated amongst the affected properties pro-rata based on the insured values of the impacted properties, with no property receiving an allocation exceeding the loss suffered by such property.

(b) In the event of a catastrophic loss or multiple losses at multiple properties owned or leased directly or indirectly by CEC and that are insured by CEC, then in the case that at least one (1) such property is the Facility and at least one (1) other such property is a Facility under and as defined in any of the Existing Leases (each, a “ Subject Facility ”), and such catastrophic loss or multiple losses exhaust any per occurrence or aggregate insurance limits under the property or terrorism insurance policies required by this Article XIII, then each Subject Facility shall have first priority to insurance proceeds from the property policy or terrorism policy in connection with such catastrophic loss or multiple losses up to the reasonably anticipated amount of loss with respect to such Subject Facility. Any remaining proceeds shall be allocated among the Facility and any other affected properties covered by such policy of insurance or as provided in Section 13.10(a) above.

(c) In the event Tenant shall at any time fail, neglect or refuse to insure the Leased Property and Capital Improvements, or is not in full compliance with its obligations under this Article XIII , Landlord may, at its election, procure replacement insurance. In such event, Landlord shall disclose to Tenant the terms of the replacement insurance. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of such replacement insurance

109




within thirty (30) days after Landlord pays for the replacement insurance. The cost of such replacement insurance shall be reasonable considering the then-current market.


ARTICLE XIV
CASUALTY

14.1
Property Insurance Proceeds . All proceeds (except business interruption not allocated to rent expenses, if any) payable by reason of any property loss or damage to the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, under any property policy of insurance required to be carried hereunder shall be paid to Fee Mortgagee or to an escrow account held by a third party depositary reasonably acceptable to Landlord, Tenant and, if applicable, the Fee Mortgagee (in each case pursuant to an escrow agreement reasonably acceptable to the Parties and the Fee Mortgagee and intended to implement the terms hereof, and made available to Tenant upon request for the reasonable costs of preservation, stabilization, restoration, reconstruction and repair, as the case may be, of any damage to or destruction of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof; provided, however, that the portion of any such proceeds that are attributable to Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent shall be applied against Rent due by Tenant hereunder; and provided, further, that if the total amount of proceeds payable net of the applicable deductibles is Twenty Million and No/100 Dollars ($20,000,000.00) or less, and, if no Tenant Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the proceeds shall be paid to Tenant and, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article XIV used for the repair of any damage to or restoration or reconstruction of the Leased Property in accordance with Section 14.2 . For the avoidance of doubt, any insurance proceeds payable by reason of (i) loss or damage to Tenant’s Property and/or Tenant Material Capital Improvements, or (ii) business interruption shall be paid directly to and belong to Tenant. Any excess proceeds of insurance remaining after the completion of the restoration or reconstruction of the Leased Property in accordance herewith shall be provided to Tenant. So long as no Tenant Event of Default is continuing, Tenant shall have the right to prosecute and settle insurance claims, provided that, in connection with insurance claims exceeding Twenty Million and No/100 Dollars ($20,000,000.00), Tenant shall consult with and involve Landlord in the process of adjusting any insurance claims under this Article XIV and any final settlement with the insurance company for claims exceeding Twenty Million and No/100 Dollars ($20,000,000.00) shall be subject to Landlord’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

14.2 Tenant’s Obligations Following Casualty .

(a) In the event of a Casualty Event with respect to the Leased Property or any portion thereof (to the extent the proceeds of insurance in respect thereof are made available to Tenant as and to the extent required under the applicable escrow agreement), (i) Tenant shall restore such Leased Property (or any applicable portion thereof, excluding,

110




at Tenant’s election, any Tenant Material Capital Improvement, unless such Tenant Material Capital Improvement is integrated into the Facility such that the Facility could not practically or safely be operated without restoring such Tenant Material Capital Improvement, provided that with respect to such Tenant Material Capital Improvement that Tenant is not required to rebuild or restore, Tenant shall repair and thereafter maintain the portions of the Leased Property affected by the loss or damage of such Tenant Capital Improvement or Tenant Material Capital Improvement in a condition commensurate with the quality, appearance and use of the balance of the Facility and satisfying the Facility’s parking requirements) to substantially the same condition as existed immediately before such damage or otherwise in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and (ii) the damage caused by the applicable Casualty Event shall not terminate this Lease; provided, however, that if the applicable Casualty Event shall occur not more than two (2) years prior to the then-Stated Expiration Date and the cost to restore the Leased Property (excluding for avoidance of doubt any affected Tenant Material Capital Improvements that Tenant is not required to restore) to the condition immediately preceding the Casualty Event, as determined by a mutually approved contractor or architect, would equal or exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the Fair Market Ownership Value of the Facility immediately prior to the time of such damage or destruction, then each of Landlord and Tenant shall have the option, exercisable Tenant’s sole and absolute discretion, to terminate this Lease, upon written notice to the other Party hereto delivered to such other Party within thirty (30) days of the determination of the amount of damage and the Fair Market Ownership Value of the Facility and, if such option is exercised by either Landlord or Tenant, this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall not be required to restore the Facility and any insurance proceeds payable as a result of the damage or destruction shall be payable in accordance with Section 14.2(c) . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if a Casualty Event occurs (and/or if the determination of the amount of damage and/or the thirty (30) day period referred to in the preceding sentence is continuing) at a time when Tenant could send a Renewal Notice (provided, for this purpose, Tenant shall be permitted to send a Renewal Notice under Section 1.4 not more than twenty-four (24) months (rather than not more than eighteen (18) months) prior to the then current Stated Expiration Date), if Tenant has elected or elects to exercise the same at any time following Tenant’s receipt of such notice of termination from Landlord, neither Landlord nor Tenant may terminate this Lease under this Section 14.2(a) .

(b) If Tenant is required to restore the affected Leased Property and the cost to restore the affected Leased Property exceeds the amount of proceeds received from the insurance required to be carried hereunder (subject to Section 14.2(e) ), then Tenant’s restoration obligations hereunder shall continue unimpaired, and Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence reasonably acceptable to Landlord that Tenant has (or is reasonably expected to have) available to it any excess amounts needed to restore the Leased Property to the condition required hereunder. Such excess amounts shall be paid by Tenant.

(c) In the event neither Landlord nor Tenant is required or elects to repair and restore the Leased Property, all insurance proceeds (except business interruption), other than proceeds reasonably attributed to any Tenant Material Capital Improvements (or other property owned by Tenant), which proceeds shall be and remain the property of Tenant, shall be paid to and

111




retained by Landlord (after reimbursement to Tenant for any reasonably-incurred expenses in connection with the subject Casualty Event) free and clear of any claim by or through Tenant except as otherwise specifically provided below in this Article XIV .

(d) If Tenant fails to complete the restoration of the Facility and gaming operations do not recommence substantially in the same manner as prior to the applicable Casualty Event by the date that is the fourth (4 th ) anniversary of the date of any Casualty Event (subject to extension in the event of an Unavoidable Delay during such four (4) year period, on a day-for-day basis, for the same amount of time that such Unavoidable Delay delays Tenant’s ability to perform such restoration in accordance with this Section 14.2 ), then, without limiting any of Landlord’s rights and remedies otherwise, all remaining insurance proceeds shall be paid to and retained by Landlord free and clear of any claim by or through Tenant, provided, that, so long as no Tenant Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Landlord agrees to use such remaining proceeds for repair and restoration with respect to such Casualty Event.

(e) If, and solely to the extent that, the damage resulting from any applicable Casualty Event is not an insured event under the insurance policies required to be maintained by Tenant under this Lease, then Tenant shall not be obligated to restore the Leased Property in respect of the damage from such Casualty Event.

14.3 No Abatement of Rent . Except as expressly provided in this Article XIV , this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent and all Additional Charges required by this Lease shall remain unabated during any period following a Casualty Event.

14.4 Waiver . Tenant waives any statutory rights of termination which may arise by reason of any damage or destruction of the Leased Property but such waiver shall not affect any contractual rights granted to Tenant under this Lease.

14.5 Insurance Proceeds and Fee Mortgagee . Notwithstanding anything herein (including, without limitation, Article XXXI hereof) or in any Fee Mortgage Documents to the contrary, Landlord shall require that any Fee Mortgage Documents (including, without limitation, with respect to the Existing Fee Mortgage) shall permit Tenant to rebuild in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Lease (and any such Fee Mortgage Documents shall expressly provide that Tenant or Landlord, as applicable, is entitled to the applicable insurance proceeds in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Lease).

ARTICLE XV

15.1 Condemnation . Tenant shall promptly give Landlord written notice of the actual or threatened Condemnation or any Condemnation proceeding affecting the Leased Property of which Tenant has knowledge and shall deliver to Landlord copies of any and all papers served in connection with the same.


112




(a) Total Taking . If the Facility is subject to a total and permanent Taking, this Lease shall automatically terminate as of the day before the date of such Taking or Condemnation.

(b) Partial Taking . If a portion (but not all) of the Facility (and, without limitation, any Capital Improvements with respect thereto) is subject to a permanent Taking (“Partial Taking”), this Lease shall remain in effect so long as the Facility is not thereby rendered Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use, and Rent shall be adjusted in accordance with the Rent Reduction Amount with respect to the subject portion of the Facility; provided, however, that if the remaining portion of the Facility is rendered Unsuitable for Its Primary Intended Use, this Lease shall terminate as of the day before the date of such Taking or Condemnation.

(c) Restoration . If there is a Partial Taking and this Lease remains in full force and effect, Landlord shall make available to Tenant the Award to be applied first to the restoration of the Facility in accordance with this Lease and, to the extent required hereby, any affected Tenant Material Capital Improvements, and thereafter as provided in Section 15.2 . In such event, subject to receiving such Award, Tenant shall accomplish all necessary restoration in accordance with the following sentence (whether or not the amount of the Award received by Tenant is sufficient) and the Rent shall be adjusted in accordance with the Rent Reduction Amount. Tenant shall restore the Leased Property (excluding any Tenant Material Capital Improvement, unless such Tenant Material Capital Improvement is integrated into the Facility such that the Facility could not practically or safely be operated without restoring such Tenant Material Capital Improvement) as nearly as reasonably possible under the circumstances to a complete architectural unit of the same general character and condition as the Leased Property existing immediately prior to such Taking;

15.2 Award Distribution . Except as set forth below and in Section 15.1(c) hereof, the Award resulting from the Taking shall be paid as follows: (i) first, to Landlord to the extent of the Fair Market Ownership Value of Landlord’s interest in the Leased Property subject to the Taking (excluding any Tenant Material Capital Improvements), (ii) second, to Tenant to the extent of the Fair Market Property Value of Tenant’s Property and Tenant Material Capital Improvements subject to the Taking (but for avoidance of doubt, not including any amount for any unexpired portion of the Term), and (iii) third, any remaining balance shall be paid to Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be entitled to pursue its own claim with respect to the Taking for Tenant’s lost profits value and moving expenses and, the portion of the Award, if any, allocated to any Tenant Material Capital Improvements and Tenant’s Property, shall be and remain the property of Tenant free of any claim thereto by Landlord.

15.3 Temporary Taking . The taking of the Leased Property, or any part thereof, shall constitute a Taking by Condemnation only when the use and occupancy by the taking authority has continued for longer than one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days. During any shorter period, which shall be a temporary taking, all the provisions of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and the Award allocable to the Term shall be paid to Tenant.
    

113

(e) the estate or interest of Tenant in the Leased Property or any part thereof shall be levied upon or attached in any proceeding relating to more than Twenty-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($25,000,000.00), and the same shall not be vacated, discharged or stayed pending appeal (or paid or bonded or otherwise similarly secured payment) within the later of ninety (90) days after commencement thereof or thirty (30) days after receipt by Tenant of notice thereof from Landlord; provided, however, that such notice shall be in lieu of and not in addition to any notice required under applicable law;

(f) if Tenant or Guarantor shall fail to pay, bond, escrow or otherwise similarly secure payment of one or more final judgments aggregating in excess of the amount of Seventy-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($75,000,000.00), which judgments are not discharged or effectively waived or stayed for a period of forty-five (45) consecutive days;

(h) any applicable Gaming License or other license material to the Facility’s operation for its Primary Intended Use is at any time terminated or revoked or suspended or placed under a trusteeship (and in each case such termination, revocation, suspension or trusteeship causes cessation of Gaming activity at the Facility) for more than thirty (30) days and such termination, revocation, suspension or trusteeship is not stayed pending appeal and would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Tenant taken as a whole or on the Facility taken as a whole;

(i) if a Licensing Event with respect to Tenant under clause (a) of the definition of Licensing Event shall occur and is not resolved in accordance with Section 41.13 within the later of (i) thirty (30) days or (ii) such additional time period as may be permitted by the applicable Gaming Authorities;

(j) Tenant fails to comply with any Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements, which default is not cured within the applicable cure period set forth in the Fee Mortgage Documents, if the effect of such default is to cause, or to permit the holder or holders of the applicable Fee

No Tenant Event of Default (other than a failure to make payment of money) shall be deemed to exist under this Lease during any time the curing thereof is prevented by an Unavoidable Delay, provided that upon the cessation of the Unavoidable Delay, Tenant (or Guarantor, as applicable) remedies the default within the time periods otherwise required hereunder; and

(m) the occurrence of a Tenant Event of Default pursuant to Section 10.5(a)(vi) .
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (i) Landlord shall deliver all notices required pursuant to Section 16.1 concurrently to Tenant and Guarantor and (ii) a default by Tenant under any Permitted Leasehold Mortgage shall not in and of itself be a Tenant Event of Default hereunder (it being understood that if the circumstances that cause such default independently comprise a default hereunder that continues beyond all applicable notice and cure periods hereunder then such circumstances would cause a Tenant Event of Default hereunder). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Tenant shall not be in breach of this Lease solely as a result of the exercise by the party (other than Tenant, CRC, CEC or any of their respective Affiliates) to any of the Permitted Exception Documents of such party's rights thereunder so long as Tenant undertakes commercially reasonable efforts to cause such party to comply or otherwise minimize such breach, and (ii) in the event that Tenant is required, under the express terms of any Permitted Exception Document(s), to take or refrain from taking any action, and taking or refraining from taking such action would result in a default under this Lease, then Tenant shall advise Landlord of the same, and Tenant and Landlord shall reasonably cooperate in order to address the same in a mutually acceptable manner, and so as to minimize any harm or liability to Landlord and to Tenant. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall a Permitted Exception Document excuse Tenant from its obligation to pay Rent or Additional Charges.

16.2 Landlord Remedies . Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Tenant Event of Default but subject to the provisions of Article XVII , Landlord may,

116




subject to the terms of Section 16.3 below, do any one or more of the following: (x) terminate this Lease by giving Tenant no less than ten (10) days’ notice of such termination and the Term shall terminate and all rights and obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall cease, subject to any provisions that expressly survive the Expiration Date, (y) seek damages as provided in Section 16.3 hereof or (z) except to the extent expressly otherwise provided under this Lease, exercise any other right or remedy hereunder, at law or in equity available to Landlord as a result of any Tenant Event of Default. Tenant shall pay as Additional Charges all costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of Landlord, including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses, as a result of any Tenant Event of Default hereunder. Subject to Article XIX and Section 17.1(f) hereof, at any time upon or following the Expiration Date, Tenant shall, if required by Landlord to do so, immediately surrender to Landlord possession of the Leased Property and quit the same and Landlord may enter upon and repossess such Leased Property by reasonable force, summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and may remove Tenant and all other Persons and any of Tenant’s Property therefrom.

(a) None of (i) the termination of this Lease, (ii) the repossession of the Leased Property, (iii) the failure of Landlord to relet the Leased Property or any portions thereof, (iv) the reletting of all or any portion of the Leased Property, or (v) the inability of Landlord to collect or receive any rentals due upon any such reletting, shall relieve Tenant of its liabilities and obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive any such termination, repossession or reletting. Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord shall have no obligation to mitigate Landlord’s damages under this Lease.

(b) If this Lease shall terminate pursuant to Section 16.2(x) or if Landlord shall obtain a court order permitting reentry following the occurrence of a Tenant Event of Default that is continuing, then, in any such event, Landlord or Landlord’s agents and employees may immediately or at any time thereafter reenter the Leased Property to the extent permitted by law (including applicable Gaming Regulations), either by summary dispossess proceedings or by any suitable action or proceeding at law, without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefor, and may repossess the same, and may remove any Person therefrom, to the end that Landlord may have, hold and enjoy the Leased Property. The words “enter,” “reenter,” “entry” and “reentry,” as used herein, are not restricted to their technical legal meanings.

16.3 Damages .

(a) If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease in writing upon a Tenant Event of Default during the Term, Tenant shall forthwith (x) pay to Landlord all Rent due and payable under this Lease to and including the date of such termination (together with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate from the date the applicable amount was due), and (y) pay on demand all damages to which Landlord shall be entitled at law or in equity, provided, however, Landlord’s damages with regard to unpaid Rent from and after the date of termination shall equal, as liquidated and agreed current damages in respect thereof, the sum of: (A) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent that (if the Lease had not been

117




terminated) would have been payable hereunder after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (B) (x) the Rent which (if the Lease had not been terminated) would have been payable hereunder from the time of award until the then Stated Expiration Date, discounted to present value by applying a discount rate equal to the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York at the time of award, plus one percent (1%), less (y) the Rent loss from the time of the award until the then Stated Expiration Date that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided, discounted to present value by applying a discount rate equal to the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York at the time of award, plus one percent (1%). As used in clause (A), the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the Overdue Rate from the date the applicable amount was due. As used in clauses (A) and (B), Variable Rent that would have been payable after termination for the remainder of the Term shall be determined based on: (1) if the date of termination occurs during a Variable Rent Payment Period, the Variable Rent amount payable during such Variable Rent Payment Period (if the Lease had not been terminated), and (2) if the date of termination occurs prior to the commencement of any Variable Rent Payment Period, the Variable Rent that (if the Lease had not been terminated) would be payable after termination for the remainder of the Term, assuming Net Revenue attributable to the Hotel/Casino Facility for the balance of the Term equals Net Revenue attributable to the Hotel/Casino Facility for the Fiscal Period ending immediately prior to the date of termination (it being understood the foregoing calculation of damages for unpaid Rent applies only to the amount of unpaid Rent damages owed to Landlord pursuant to Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent hereunder and does not prohibit or otherwise shall not limit Landlord from seeking damages for any indemnification or any other obligations of Tenant hereunder, with all such rights of Landlord reserved).

(b) Notwithstanding anything otherwise set forth herein, if Landlord chooses not to terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Leased Property (whether or not Landlord terminates this Lease) and has not been paid damages in accordance with Section 16.3(a) , then each installment of Rent and all other sums payable by Tenant to or for the benefit of Landlord under this Lease shall be payable as the same otherwise becomes due and payable, together with, if any such amount is not paid when due, interest at the Overdue Rate from the date when due until paid, and Landlord may enforce, by action or otherwise, any other term or covenant of this Lease (and Landlord may at any time thereafter terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Leased Property and seek damages under Section 16.3(a) , to the extent not already paid for by Tenant under Section 16.3(a) or this Section 16.3(b) ).

(c) If, as of the date of any termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 16.2(x) , the Leased Property shall not be in the condition in which Tenant has agreed to surrender the same to Landlord at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, then Tenant, shall pay, as damages therefor, the cost (as estimated by an independent contractor reasonably selected by Landlord) of placing the Leased Property in the condition in which Tenant is required to surrender the same hereunder.

16.4     Receiver . Subject to the rights of Permitted Leasehold Mortgagees hereunder, upon the occurrence and continuance of a Tenant Event of Default, and upon commencement of

118




proceedings to enforce the rights of Landlord hereunder, but subject to any limitations of applicable law (including Gaming Regulations), Landlord shall be entitled, as a matter of right, to the appointment of a receiver or receivers acceptable to Landlord of the Leased Property and of the revenues, earnings, income, products and profits thereof, pending the outcome of such proceedings, with such powers as the court making such appointment shall confer.

16.5      Waiver . If Landlord initiates judicial proceedings or if this Lease is terminated by Landlord pursuant to this Article XVI , Tenant waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) any right of redemption, re-entry or repossession or similar laws for the benefit of Tenant; and (ii) the benefit of any laws now or hereafter in force exempting property from liability for rent or for debt.

16.6      Application of Funds . Any payments received by Landlord under any of the provisions of this Lease during the existence or continuance of any Tenant Event of Default which are made to Landlord rather than Tenant due to the existence of a Tenant Event of Default shall be applied to Tenant’s obligations in the order which Landlord may reasonably determine or as may be prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements.

16.7     Landlord’s Right to Cure Tenant’s Default . If Tenant shall fail to make any payment or to perform any act required to be made or performed hereunder when due including, without limitation, if Tenant fails to expend any Required Capital Expenditures as required hereunder or fails to complete any work or restoration or replacement of any nature as required hereunder, or if Tenant shall take any action prohibited hereunder, or if Tenant shall breach any representation or warranty comprising Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements (and Landlord reasonably determines that such breach could be expected to give rise to an event of default or an indemnification obligation of Landlord under the applicable Fee Mortgage), or Tenant fails to comply with any Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements (other than representations and warranties), in all cases, after the expiration of any cure period provided for herein, Landlord, without waiving or releasing any obligation or default, may, but shall be under no obligation to, (i) make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Tenant (including, in the event of a breach of any such representation or warranty, taking actions to cause such representation or warranty to be true), and may, to the extent permitted by law, enter upon the Leased Property for such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, may be necessary or appropriate therefor, and (ii) subject to the terms of the applicable Fee Mortgage Documents, use funds in any Fee Mortgage Reserve Account for the purposes for which they were deposited in making any such payment or performing such act. All sums so paid by Landlord and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, so incurred, together with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate from the date on which such sums or expenses are paid or incurred by Landlord, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand as an Additional Charge.

(b) No failure by either Party to insist upon the strict performance of any agreement, term, covenant or condition of this Lease or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance by Landlord of full or partial Rent during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of such agreement, term, covenant or condition. No agreement, term, covenant or condition of this Lease to be performed or complied with by either Party, and no breach thereof, shall be or be deemed to be waived, altered or modified except by a written instrument executed by the Parties. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Lease, but each and every agreement, term, covenant and condition of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach thereof.

In the event of any assignment of a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage or in the event of a change of address of a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or of an assignee of such Permitted Leasehold Mortgage, written notice of such assignment or change of address and of the new name and address shall be provided to Landlord, and the provisions of this Section 17.1 shall continue to apply, provided such assignee is a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee.
(i) Landlord shall reasonably promptly following receipt of a communication purporting to constitute the notice provided for by subsection (b)(i) above (and such additional items requested by Landlord pursuant to the first sentence of Section 17.1(b)(iii)) acknowledge by an executed and notarized instrument receipt of such communication as constituting the notice provided for by subsection (b)(i) above and

121




confirming the status of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee as such or, in the alternative, notify Tenant and the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee of the rejection of such communication and any such items as not conforming with the provisions of this Section 17.1 and specify the specific basis of such rejection.
(ii) After Landlord has received the notice provided for by subsection (b)(i) above, Tenant upon being requested to do so by Landlord, shall with reasonable promptness provide Landlord with copies of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgage, note or other obligations secured by such Permitted Leasehold Mortgage and any other documents pertinent to the Permitted Leasehold Mortgage reasonably requested by Landlord. If requested to do so by Landlord, Tenant shall thereafter also provide Landlord from time to time with a copy of each material amendment or other modification or supplement to such instruments. All recorded documents shall be accompanied by the appropriate recording stamp or other certification of the custodian of the relevant recording office as to their authenticity as true and correct copies of official records and all nonrecorded documents shall be accompanied by a certification by Tenant that such documents are true and correct copies of the originals.

(iii) Notwithstanding the requirements of this Section 17.1(b) , it is agreed and acknowledged that Tenant’s Initial Financing (and the mortgages, security agreements and/or other loan documents in connection therewith) as of the date of this Lease shall be deemed a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage Appropriate notice etc. to be addressed prior to closing and entry into this Lease. (with respect to which notice has been properly provided to Landlord pursuant to Section 17.1(b)(i) ) without the requirement that Tenant or Landlord comply with the initial requirements set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above, (but, for the avoidance of doubt, Tenant’s Initial Financing is not relieved of the requirement that it satisfy the requirements of Section 17.1(a) or the last sentence of Section 17.1(b)(i) ). In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, the Parties confirm that Tenant shall not be relieved of the requirement to comply with the final three (3) sentences of Section 17.1(b)(iii) with respect to Tenant’s Initial Financing or any other financing with a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee.

(c) Default Notice to Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee . Landlord, upon providing Tenant any notice of default under this Lease, shall at the same time provide a copy of such notice to every Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee for which notice has been properly provided to Landlord pursuant to Section 17.1(b)(i) hereof. No such notice by Landlord to Tenant shall be deemed to have been duly given unless and until a copy thereof has been sent, in the manner prescribed in Article XXXV of this Lease, to every such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee for which notice has been properly provided to Landlord pursuant to Section 17.1(b)(i) hereof. From and after the date such notice has been sent to a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall have the same period, with respect to its remedying any default or acts or omissions which are the subject matter of such notice or causing the same to be remedied, as is given Tenant after the giving of such notice to Tenant, plus in each instance, the additional periods of time specified in subsections (d) and (e) of this Section 17.1 to remedy or cause to be remedied the defaults or acts or omissions which are the subject matter of such notice specified in any such notice.

Tenant authorizes each such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee (to the extent such action is authorized under the applicable loan documents to which it acts as a lender, noteholder, investor, agent, trustee or representative) to take any such action at such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee’s option and does hereby authorize entry upon the Leased Property by the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee for such purpose.

(d) Right to Terminate Notice to Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee . Anything contained in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, if any Tenant Event of Default shall occur which entitles Landlord to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall have no right to terminate this Lease on account of such Tenant Event of Default unless Landlord shall notify every Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee for which notice has been properly provided to Landlord pursuant to Section 17.1(b) hereof that the period of time given Tenant to cure such default or act or omission has lapsed and, accordingly, Landlord has the right to terminate this Lease (“ Right to Terminate Notice ”).

(i) notify Landlord of such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee’s desire to nullify such Right to Terminate Notice ;
(ii) pay or cause to be paid all Rent, Additional Charges, and other payments (A) then due and in arrears as specified in the Right to Terminate Notice to such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, and (B) which may become due during such thirty (30) or ninety (90) day (as the case may be) period (as and when the same may become due); and
(iii) comply with or in good faith, with reasonable diligence and continuity, commence to comply with all nonmonetary requirements of this Lease then in default and reasonably susceptible of being complied with by such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee (e.g., defaults that are not personal to Tenant hereunder); provided, however, that such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall not be required during such ninety (90) day period to cure or commence to cure any default consisting of Tenant’s failure to satisfy and discharge any lien, charge or encumbrance against Tenant’s interest in this Lease or the Leased Property or any of Tenant’s other assets that is/are (x) junior in priority to the lien of the mortgage or other security documents held by such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee and (y) would be extinguished by the foreclosure of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgage that is held by such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee; and
(iv) during such thirty (30) or ninety (90) day period, the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall respond, with reasonable diligence, to requests for information from Landlord as to the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee’s (and related lender’s) intent to pay such Rent and other charges and comply with this Lease.

If the applicable default shall be cured pursuant to the terms and within the time periods allowed in this Section 17.1(d) , this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as if Tenant had not defaulted under the Lease. If a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall fail to take all of the actions described

123




in this Section 17.1(d) with respect to a specific Tenant Event of Default for which the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee was provided notice prior to the deadlines set forth herein, such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall have no further rights under this Section 17.1(d) or Section 17.1(e) with respect to such Event of Default.
(e) Procedure on Default .

(i) If Landlord shall elect to terminate this Lease by reason of any Tenant Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing and a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall have proceeded in the manner provided for by subsection (d) of this Section 17.1 , the applicable cure periods available pursuant to Section 17.1(d) above shall continue to be extended so long as during such continuance:

(1) such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall pay or cause to be paid the Rent, Additional Charges and other monetary obligations of Tenant under this Lease as the same become due, and continue its good faith efforts to perform or cause to be performed all of Tenant’s other obligations under this Lease, excepting (A) obligations of Tenant to satisfy or otherwise discharge any lien, charge or encumbrance against Tenant’s interest in this Lease or the Leased Property or any of Tenant’s other assets that is/are (x) junior in priority to the lien of the mortgage or other security documents held by such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee and (y) would be extinguished by the foreclosure of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgage that is held by such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee and (B) past non-monetary obligations then in default and not reasonably susceptible of being cured by such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee; and

(2) subject to and in accordance with Section 22.2(ii) , if not enjoined or stayed pursuant to a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or other judicial order, such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall diligently continue to pursue acquiring or selling Tenant’s interest in this Lease and the Leased Property (or, to the extent applicable, the direct or indirect interests in Tenant) by foreclosure of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgage or other appropriate means and diligently prosecute the same to completion.

(ii) Without limitation of Tenant’s right to deliver a Renewal Notice, it is agreed that a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee also shall have the right to deliver a Renewal Notice on behalf of Tenant during any period in which such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee is complying with Section 17.1(d) or 17.1(e) .

124




had not defaulted under this Lease provided that such successor cures all outstanding defaults that can be cured through the payment of money and all other defaults that are reasonably susceptible of being cured as provided in said subsection (e)(i).

(iv) No Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall be deemed to be an assignee or transferee of this Lease or of the Leasehold Estate hereby created by virtue of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgage so as to require such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, as such, to assume the performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions on the part of Tenant to be performed hereunder; but the purchaser at any sale of this Lease (or, to the extent applicable, the purchaser of the direct or indirect interests in Tenant including a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee if it is the purchaser at foreclosure) and of the Leasehold Estate hereby created in any proceedings for the foreclosure of any Permitted Leasehold Mortgage, or the assignee or transferee of this Lease and of the Leasehold Estate hereby created (or, to the extent applicable, the direct or indirect interests in Tenant) under any instrument of assignment or transfer in lieu of the foreclosure of any Permitted Leasehold Mortgage, shall be subject to all of the provisions, terms and conditions of this Lease including, without limitation Section 22.2(ii) hereof (including, without limitation, the Tenant Transferee Requirement).

In the event that this Lease is rejected in any bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution proceeding or is terminated by Landlord following a Tenant Event of Default other than due to a default that is subject to cure by a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee under Section 17.1(d) and Section 17.1(e) above, Landlord shall provide each Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee with written notice that this Lease has been rejected or

125




terminated (“Notice of Termination”), and, for the avoidance of doubt, upon delivery of such Notice of Termination, no Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall have the rights as described in Section 17.1(d) and Section 17.1(e) above, but rather such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee instead shall have the rights described in this Section 17.1(f) ).

(a) Landlord hereby grants to Tenant an option to purchase (“ Purchase Option ”) the Leased Property at a price equal to the then Fair Market Ownership Value of the Leased Property (valued assuming that the Lease continues for the remainder of the Term and the Lease is extended for each of the remaining extension periods) (such price, the “ Purchase Price ”) and Tenant may, in Tenant’s sole and absolute discretion, exercise such Purchase Option solely upon the following terms and conditions:
 
(i) such Purchase Option must be exercised at any time from the date Landlord delivers to Tenant a Tenant Competitor Notice or Tenant otherwise becomes aware

(vi) as provided in clause (B) of the Fair Market Rental Value definition, the Fair Market Ownership Value of the Leased Property shall be determined with respect to any damaged or destroyed Leased Property as if such Leased Property had not been so damaged or destroyed, and, accordingly, to the extent that a Casualty Event has occurred but the Leased Property is valued as if such Casualty Event did not occur, Tenant shall be entitled to all property insurance proceeds and business interruption insurance with respect to the Leased Property arising from such Casualty Event;

(vii) the condition of title shall be the same as that shown on the owner’s policy of title insurance as of the date of this Lease, with such additional covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements and other matters that have been approved, or have been created by or through, Tenant or that otherwise arise in accordance with the terms of this Lease or as may otherwise be agreed to in writing by Landlord and Tenant; and

If, following the expiration of such ninety (90) day period, Landlord is not a Tenant Competitor and does not own a Tenant Competitor, then Tenant’s Exercise Notice shall be of no further effect in respect of such Tenant Competitor Event and Tenant shall no longer be entitled to elect the Purchase Option in connection with such Tenant Competitor Event.

(c) Notwithstanding the Purchase Option provided for in clause (a) above, and without limitation of Section 23.1(c) of this Lease, so long as Landlord becomes or acquires a Tenant Competitor, Tenant shall not be required to deliver the information required to be delivered to such Landlord pursuant to Section 23.1(b) hereof to the extent the same would give such Landlord a “competitive” advantage with respect to markets in which such Landlord and Tenant or CRC or any of their respective Affiliates might be competing at any time (it being understood that such Landlord shall retain audit rights with respect to such information to the extent required to confirm Tenant’s compliance with the terms of this Lease) (and such Landlord shall be permitted to comply with Securities Exchange Commission, Internal Revenue Service and other legal and regulatory requirements with regard to such information) and provided that appropriate measures are in place to ensure that only such Landlord’s auditors (which for this purpose shall be a “big four” firm designated by such Landlord) and attorneys (as reasonably approved by Tenant) (and not

This Lease is and at all times shall be subordinate to any Existing Fee Mortgage and any

154




other Fee Mortgage which may hereafter affect the Leased Property or any portion thereof or interest therein and in each case to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, restatements and extensions thereof or any parts or portions thereof; provided, however, that the subordination of this Lease and Tenant’s leasehold interest hereunder to any new Fee Mortgage hereafter made, shall be conditioned and occur only upon the execution and delivery to Tenant by the respective Fee Mortgagee of a commercially reasonable subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement that is reasonably acceptable to Tenant, which will bind Tenant and such Fee Mortgagee and its successors and assigns as well as any person who acquires any portion of the Leased Property in a foreclosure or similar proceeding or in a transfer in lieu of any such foreclosure or a successor owner of the Leased Property (each, a “Foreclosure Purchaser”) and which shall provide, among other things, that so long as there is no outstanding and continuing Tenant Event of Default under this Lease (or, if there is a continuing Tenant Event of Default, subject to the rights granted to a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee as expressly set forth in this Lease), the holder of such Fee Mortgage, and any Foreclosure Purchaser shall not disturb Tenant’s leasehold interest or possession of the Leased Property, subject to and in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall give effect to this Lease, including, but not limited to, the provisions of Article XVII which benefit any Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee (as if such Fee Mortgagee or Foreclosure Purchaser were the landlord under this Lease (it being understood that if a Tenant Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time, such parties shall be subject to the terms and provisions hereof concerning the exercise of rights and remedies upon such Tenant Event of Default including the provisions of Articles XVI , XVII and XXVI )). In connection with the foregoing and at the request of Landlord, Tenant shall promptly execute a subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement that contains commercially reasonable provisions, terms and conditions and that is reasonably acceptable to Tenant and Landlord, in all events complying with this Section 31.1 . In connection with any subsequent Fee Mortgage, as a condition to the Fee Mortgagee holding any Fee Mortgage Reserve Accounts, Tenant and such Fee Mortgagee shall have entered into a subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement as provided in this Section 31.1(a).

b. If, in connection with obtaining any Fee Mortgage or entering into any agreement relating thereto, Landlord shall request in writing (i) reasonable cooperation from Tenant or (ii) reasonable amendments or modifications to this Lease, in each case required to comply with any reasonable request made by Fee Mortgagee, Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with such request, so long as (I) no default in any material respect by Landlord beyond applicable cure periods is continuing, (II) all reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with such cooperation, including, but not limited to, its reasonable documented attorneys’ fees, shall be paid by Landlord and (III) any requested action, including any amendments or modification of this Lease, shall not (a) increase Tenant’s monetary obligations under this Lease by more than a de minimis extent, or increase Tenant’s non-monetary obligations under this Lease in any material respect or decrease Landlord’s obligations in any material respect, (b) diminish Tenant’s rights under this Lease in any material respect, (c) adversely impact the value of the Leased Property by more than a de minimis extent or otherwise have a more than de minimis adverse effect on the Leased Property, Tenant or Landlord, (d) result in this Lease not constituting a “true lease”,

31.3 Compliance with Fee Mortgage Documents .

a. Tenant acknowledges that any Fee Mortgage Documents executed by Landlord or any Affiliate of Landlord may impose certain obligations on the “borrower” or other counterparty thereunder to comply with, or cause the operator and/or lessee of the Leased Property to comply with, certain reasonable covenants contained therein, including, without limitation, covenants relating to (i) the alteration, maintenance, repair and restoration of the Leased Property; (ii) maintenance and submission of financial records and accounts of the operation of the Leased Property and financial and other information regarding the operator and/or lessee of the Leased Property and the Leased Property itself and other portions of the Facility; (iii) the procurement of insurance policies with respect to the Leased Property; (iv) removal of liens and encumbrances; (v) subleasing, management and related activities; and (vi) without limiting the foregoing, compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements (including Gaming Regulations) relating to the Leased Property and the operation of the business thereon or therein. From and after the date any Fee Mortgage encumbers the Leased Property (or any portion thereof or interest therein), and Landlord has provided Tenant with true and complete copies thereof and, if Landlord elects, of any applicable Fee Mortgage Documents (for informational purposes only, but not for Tenant’s approval), accompanied by a written request for Tenant to comply with the Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements (hereinafter defined) (which request shall expressly reference this Section 31.3 and expressly identify the Fee Mortgage Documents and sections thereof containing the Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements), and continuing until the first to occur of (1) such Fee Mortgage Documents ceasing to remain in full force and effect by reason of satisfaction in full of the indebtedness thereunder or foreclosure or similar exercise of remedies or otherwise), (2) the Expiration Date, (3) such time as Tenant’s compliance with the Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements would constitute or give rise to a breach or violation of (x) this Lease, and not otherwise waived by Landlord, (y) Legal Requirements (including Gaming Regulations and Liquor Laws), or (z) any Permitted Leasehold Mortgage (not waived by the applicable Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee), provided, however, with respect to this clause (z), Tenant shall not be relieved of its obligation to comply with (A) the terms of the Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements in effect as of the Commencement Date (whether embodied in the Existing Fee Mortgage or related Fee Mortgage Documents or in any future Fee Mortgage or related Fee Mortgage Documents containing the applicable

156




corresponding terms), nor (B) any Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements (other than any Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements covered under the preceding clause (A)) in effect as of the time when the Permitted Leasehold Mortgage was obtained, and (4) Tenant receives written direction from Landlord, any Fee Mortgagee or any governmental authority requesting or instructing Tenant to cease complying with the Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements, (provided, prior to ceasing compliance with any Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements under the preceding clauses (3) and (4), Tenant shall first provide Landlord with prior written notice together with, (x) if acting pursuant to clause (3), reasonably detailed materials evidencing that such compliance constitutes such a breach, and (y) if acting pursuant to clause (4), a copy of the applicable communication(s) from such Fee Mortgagee or governmental authority, as applicable, and Tenant shall in such event only cease compliance with the specific Additional Fee Mortgage Requirements in question under clause (3) or that are covered by the written direction under clause (4), as applicable) (such time period, the “Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements Period”), Tenant covenants and agrees, at its sole cost and expense and for the express benefit of Landlord (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, any Fee Mortgagee, which shall not be construed to be a third-party beneficiary of this Lease, provided, however, this parenthetical provision is not intended to vitiate Tenant’s obligation to perform any or all of the Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements directly for the benefit of any Fee Mortgagee as and to the extent agreed to by Tenant in an agreement entered into directly between Tenant and such Fee Mortgagee), to operate the Leased Property (or cause the Leased Property to be operated) in compliance with the Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements of which it has received written notice. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Tenant shall not be required to comply with and shall not have any other obligations with respect to any terms or conditions of, or amendments or modifications to, any Fee Mortgage or other Fee Mortgage Documents that do not constitute Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements; provided , however , that the foregoing shall not be deemed to release Tenant from its obligations under this Lease that do not derive from the Fee Mortgage Documents, whether or not such obligations are duplicative of those set forth in the Fee Mortgage Documents.

b. As used herein, “ Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements ” means those customary requirements as to the operation of the Leased Property and the business thereon or therein which the Fee Mortgage Documents impose (x) directly upon, or require Landlord (or Landlord’s Affiliate borrower thereunder) to impose upon, the tenant(s) and/or operator(s) of the Leased Property or (y) directly upon Landlord, but which, by reason of the nature of the obligation(s) imposed and the nature of Tenant’s occupancy and operation of the Leased Property and the business conducted thereupon, are not reasonably susceptible of being performed by Landlord and are reasonably susceptible of being performed by Tenant (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any indebtedness or other obligations evidenced or secured thereby) and, except with respect to the Existing Fee Mortgage Appropriate notice etc. to be addressed prior to closing and entry into this Lease. (of which Tenant is deemed to have received written notice) of which Tenant has received written notice; provided , however , that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements shall not include or impose on Tenant (and Tenant will not be subject to) obligations which (a) are not customary for Landlord financings of the type contemplated under the applicable Fee Mortgage Documents, (b) increase Tenant’s monetary obligations under this Lease to more than

157




a de minimis extent (it being agreed that making Rent payments otherwise payable to Landlord into a “lockbox” account designated by a Fee Mortgagee shall not be deemed to increase Tenant’s monetary obligations under the Lease), (c) increase Tenant’s non-monetary obligations under this Lease in any material respect, or (d) diminish Tenant’s rights under this Lease in any material respect (it being agreed that none of the provisions, terms and conditions of the Existing Fee Mortgage Documents violate any of the preceding clauses (a) through (d)).

c. Any proposed implementation of any additional financial covenants (i.e., a requirement that Tenant must meet certain specified performance tests of a financial nature, e.g., meeting a threshold EBITDAR, Net Revenue, financial ratio or similar test) that are imposed on Tenant shall not constitute Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements (it being understood that Landlord may agree to such financial covenants being imposed in any Fee Mortgage Documents so long as such financial covenants will not impose additional obligations on Tenant to comply therewith). For the avoidance of doubt, Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements may include (to the extent consistent with the foregoing definition of Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements) requirements of Tenant to:

(ix) make Rent payments into “lockbox accounts” maintained for the benefit of Fee Mortgagee; and/or

(x) subject to this Section 31.3 , perform other actions consistent with the obligations described in the first sentence of this Section 31.3

d. In the event Tenant breaches its obligations to comply with Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements as described herein (without regard to any notice or cure period under the Fee Mortgage Documents and without regard to whether a default or event of default has occurred as a result thereof under the Fee Mortgage Documents), Landlord shall have the right, following the failure of Tenant to cure such breach within twenty (20) days from receipt of written notice to Tenant from Landlord of such breach (except to the extent the breach is of a nature such that it is not practicable for Landlord to provide such prior written notice, in which event Landlord shall provide written notice as soon as practicable), to cure such breach, in which event Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with curing such breach.

e. To the extent of any conflict between the terms and provisions of any agreement to which Landlord, Tenant and Fee Mortgagee are parties and the terms and provisions of this Section 31.3, the terms and provisions of such agreement shall govern and control in accordance with its terms.

Without limiting the scope or generality of the foregoing, Tenant expressly agrees that, in the event of a breach by Tenant in its obligations under Sections 32.1 - 32.3 that is not cured within any applicable cure period, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or incident to (directly or indirectly, before or during (but not if first occurring after) the Term) the following:

Whenever a determination of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value is required pursuant to any provision of this Lease, and where Landlord and Tenant have not been able to reach agreement on such Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value either (i) with respect to Fair Market Rental Value applicable to a Renewal Term, within three hundred seventy (370) days prior to the commencement date of a Renewal Term or (ii) for all other purposes, after at least fifteen (15) days of good faith negotiations, then either Party shall each have the right to seek, upon written notice to the other Party (the “ Expert Valuation Notice ”), which notice clearly identifies that such Party seeks, to have such Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value determined in accordance with the following Expert Valuation Process:

a. Within twenty (20) days of the receiving Party’s receipt of the Expert Valuation Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall provide notice to the other Party of the name, address and other pertinent contact information, and qualifications of its selected appraiser (which appraiser must be an independent qualified MAI appraiser (i.e., a Member of the Appraisal Institute)).

b. As soon as practicable following such notice, and in any event within twenty (20) days following their selection, each appraiser shall prepare a written appraisal of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) as of the relevant date of valuation, and deliver the same to its respective client. Representatives of the Parties shall then meet and simultaneously exchange copies of such appraisals. Following such exchange, the appraisers shall promptly meet and endeavor to agree upon Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) based on a written appraisal made by each of them (and given to Landlord by Tenant). If such two appraisers shall agree upon a Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value, as applicable, such agreed amount shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant.

c. If such two appraisers are unable to agree upon a Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) within five (5) Business Days after the exchange of appraisals as aforesaid, then such appraisers shall advise Landlord and Tenant of the same and, within twenty (20) days of the exchange of appraisals, select a third appraiser (which third appraiser, however selected, must be an independent qualified MAI appraiser) to make the determination of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value. The selection of the third appraiser shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant.


162




d. If such two appraisers shall be unable to agree upon the designation of a third appraiser within the twenty (20) day period referred to in clause (c) above, or if such third appraiser does not make a determination of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) within thirty (30) days after his or her selection, then such third appraiser (or a substituted third appraiser, as applicable) shall, at the request of either Party, be appointed by the Appointing Authority and such appointment shall be final and binding on Landlord and Tenant. The determination of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) made by the third appraiser appointed pursuant hereto shall be made within twenty (20) days after such appointment.

e. If a third appraiser is selected, Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) shall be the average of (x) the determination of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) made by the third appraiser and (y) the determination of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) made by the appraiser (selected pursuant to Section 34.1(b) ) whose determination of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) is nearest to that of the third appraiser. Such average shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant as being the Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be).

f. In determining Fair Market Ownership Value of the Leased Property as a whole, the appraisers shall (in addition to taking into account the criteria set forth in the definition of Fair Market Ownership Value), add (i) the present value of the Rent for the remaining Term, assuming the Term has been extended for all Renewal Terms provided herein (with assumed increases in the CPI to be determined by the appraisers) using a discount rate (which may be determined by an investment banker retained by each appraiser) based on the credit worthiness of Tenant and any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations hereunder and (ii) the present value of the Leased Property as of the end of such Term (having assumed the Term has been extended for all extension periods provided herein). The appraisers shall further assume that no default then exists under the Lease, that Tenant has complied (and will comply) with all provisions of the Lease, and that no default exists under any guaranty of Tenant’s obligations hereunder.

g. In determining Fair Market Rental Value, the appraisers shall (in addition to the criteria set forth in the definition thereof) take into account: (i) the age, quality and condition (as required by the Lease) of the Improvements; (ii) that the Leased Property will be leased as a whole or substantially as a whole to a single user; (iii) when determining the Fair Market Rental Value for any Renewal Term, a lease term of five (5) years together with such options to renew as then remains hereunder; (iv) an absolute triple net lease; and (v) such other items that professional real estate appraisers customarily consider.

h. [Reserved].

163





i. If, by virtue of any delay, Fair Market Rental Value is not determined by the first (1 st ) day of the applicable Renewal Term, then until Fair Market Rental Value is determined, Tenant shall continue to pay Rent during the succeeding Renewal Term in the same amount which Tenant was obligated to pay prior to the commencement of the Renewal Term. Upon determination of Fair Market Rental Value, Rent shall be calculated retroactive to the commencement of the Renewal Term and Tenant shall either receive a refund from Landlord (in the case of an overpayment) or shall pay any deficiency to Landlord (in the case of an underpayment) within thirty (30) days of the date on which the determination of Fair Market Rental Value becomes binding.

j. The cost of the procedure described in this Section 34.1 shall be borne equally by the Parties and the Parties will reasonably coordinate payment; provided, that if Landlord pays such costs, fifty percent (50%) of such costs shall be Additional Charges hereunder and if Tenant pays such costs, fifty percent (50%) of such costs shall be a credit against the next Rent payment hereunder.

34.2 Arbitration . In the event of a dispute with respect to this Lease pursuant to an Arbitration Provision, or in any case when this Lease expressly provides for the settlement or determination of a dispute or question by an Expert pursuant to this Section 34.2 (in any such case, a “ Section 34.2 Dispute ”) such dispute shall be determined in accordance with an arbitration proceeding as set forth in this Section 34.2 .

The Arbitration Panel shall be selected as set forth in this Section 34.2(b) . If a Section 34.2 Dispute arises and if Landlord and Tenant are not able to resolve such dispute after at least fifteen (15) days of good faith negotiations, then either Party shall each have the right to submit the dispute to the Arbitration Panel, upon written notice to the other Party (the “ Arbitration Notice ”). The Arbitration Notice shall identify one member of the Arbitration Panel who meets the criteria of the above paragraph. Within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of the Arbitration Notice, the Party receiving such Arbitration Notice shall respond in writing identifying one member of the Arbitration Panel who meets the criteria of the above paragraph. Such notices shall include the name, address and other pertinent contact information, and qualifications of its member of the Arbitration Panel. If a Party fails to timely select its respective panel member, the other Party may notify such Party in writing of such failure, and if such Party fails to select its respective panel member within three (3) Business Days after receipt of such notice, then such other Party may select and identify to such Party such panel member on such Party’s behalf. The third member of the Arbitration Panel will be selected by the two (2) members of the Arbitration Panel who were selected by Landlord and Tenant; provided , that if, within five (5) Business Days after they are identified, they fail to select a third member, or if they are unable to agree on such selection, Landlord and Tenant shall cause the third member of the Arbitration Panel to be appointed by the managing officer of the American Arbitration Association.

164




(b) Within ten (10) Business Days after the selection of the Arbitration Panel, Landlord and Tenant each shall submit to the Arbitration Panel a written statement identifying its summary of the issues. Landlord and Tenant may also request an evidentiary hearing on the merits in addition to the submission of written statements. The Arbitration Panel shall make its decision within twenty (20) days after the later of (i) the submission of such written statements, and (ii) the conclusion of any evidentiary hearing on the merits. The Arbitration Panel shall reach its decision by majority vote and shall communicate its decision by written notice to Landlord and Tenant.

(c) [Reserved]

(d) The decision by the Arbitration Panel shall be final, binding and conclusive and shall be non-appealable and enforceable in any court having jurisdiction. All hearings and proceedings held by the Arbitration Panel shall take place in New York, New York unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties and the Arbitration Panel.

(e) The resolution procedure described herein shall be governed by the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association and the Procedures for Large, Complex, Commercial Disputes in effect as of the Commencement Date.

36.1     Transfer of Tenant’s Property and Operational Control of the Facility . Upon the written request (an “ End of Term Asset Transfer Notice ”) of Landlord in connection with the expiration of this Lease on the Stated Expiration Date or the earlier termination of the Term, or of Tenant in connection with a termination of this Lease that occurs (i) on the Stated Expiration Date, or (ii) in the event Landlord exercises its right to terminate this Lease or repossess the Leased Property in accordance with the terms of this Lease and, provided in each of the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) that Tenant complies with the provisions of Section 36.3 , Tenant shall transfer (or cause to be transferred) upon the expiration of the Term, or as soon thereafter as Landlord shall request, the business operations (which will include a two (2) year transition license for Property Specific IP used at or in connection with the Facility) conducted by Tenant and its Subsidiaries at the Facility (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all Tenant’s Property relating to the Facility but excluding (x) each license, permit, sublease, concession or contract, the transfer of which would constitute a breach or default under or violate such license, permit, sublease, concession or contract and (y) all Intellectual Property (other than Property Specific IP to the extent provided in Section 36.4 ) (collectively, the “ Excluded Items ”) (collectively the “ Successor Assets ”) to a successor lessee or operator (or lessees or operators) of the Facility (collectively, the “ Successor Tenant ”) designated pursuant to Section 36.3 for consideration to be received by Tenant (or its Subsidiaries) from the Successor Tenant in an amount equal to the fair market value of such business operations (which will include a two (2) year transition license for the Property Specific IP used at or in connection with the Facility) conducted at the Facility and Tenant’s Property (including any Tenant Capital Improvements not funded by Landlord in accordance with Section 10.3 and excluding all Excluded Items) (the “ Successor Assets FMV ”) as negotiated and agreed by Tenant and the Successor Tenant; provided, however, that in the event an End of Term Asset Transfer Notice is delivered hereunder, then notwithstanding the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, until such time that Tenant transfers the business operations conducted at the Facility and Tenant’s Property (but excluding the Excluded Items) to a Successor Tenant, Tenant shall (or shall cause its Subsidiaries, if applicable, to) continue to possess and operate the Facility (and Landlord shall permit Tenant to maintain possession of the Leased Property (including, if necessary, by means of a written extension of this Lease or license agreement or other written agreement) to the extent necessary to operate the Facility) in accordance with the applicable terms of this Lease and the course and manner in which Tenant (or its Subsidiaries) has operated the Facility prior to the end of the Term (including, but not limited to, the payment of Rent hereunder) which shall be calculated as provided in this Lease, except, that for any period following the last day of the calendar month in which the thirty-fifth (35 th ) anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs, the Rent shall be a per annum amount equal to the sum of (A) the amount of the Base Rent hereunder during the Lease Year in which the Expiration Date occurs, multiplied by the Escalator, and increased on each anniversary of the Expiration Date to be equal to the Rent payable for the immediately preceding year, multiplied by the Escalator, plus (B) the amount of the Variable Rent hereunder during the Lease Year in which the Expiration Date occurs, plus (C) the amount of the Convention Center Rent hereunder during the Lease Year in which the Expiration Date occurs, multiplied by one and one hundredths (1.01), and increased on each

166




anniversary of the Expiration Date to be equal to the Convention Center Rent payable for the immediately preceding year, multiplied by one and one hundredths (1.01) (the period described in this proviso, the “ Transition Period ”). If Tenant and a potential Successor Tenant designated by Landlord cannot agree on the Successor Assets FMV within a reasonable time not to exceed thirty (30) days after receipt of an End of Term Asset Transfer Notice hereunder, then such Successor Assets FMV shall be determined, and Tenant’s transfer of the Successor Assets to a Successor Tenant in consideration for a payment in such amount shall be determined and transferred, in accordance with the provisions of Section 36.1 .

36.2     [Reserved]

36.3 Determination of Successor Lessee and Successor Assets FMV . If not effected pursuant to Section 36.1 , then the determination of the Successor Assets FMV and the transfer of Tenant’s Property (but excluding the Excluded Items) to a Successor Tenant in consideration for the Successor Assets FMV shall be effected by (i) first , determining in accordance with Section 36.1(a) the rent that Landlord would be entitled to receive from Successor Tenant assuming a lease term of ten (10) years (the “ Successor Tenant Rent ”) pursuant to a lease agreement containing substantially the same terms and conditions of this Lease (other than, in the case of a new lease at the end of the final Renewal Term, the terms of this Article XXXVI , which will not be included in such new lease), (ii) second , identifying and designating in accordance with the terms of Section 36.3(b) , a pool of qualified potential Successor Tenants (each, a “ Qualified Successor Tenant ”) prepared to lease the Facility at the Successor Tenant Rent and to bid for the business operations conducted at the Facility and Tenant’s Property (but excluding the Excluded Items), and (iii) third , in accordance with the terms of Section 36.3(c) , determining the highest price a Qualified Successor Tenant would agree to pay for Tenant’s Property and setting such highest price as the Successor Assets FMV in exchange for which Tenant shall be required to transfer Tenant’s Property (but excluding the Excluded Items) and Landlord will enter into a lease with such Qualified Successor Tenant on substantially the same terms and conditions of this Lease (other than, in the case of a new lease at the end of the final Renewal Term, the terms of this Article XXXVI , which will not be included in such new lease) through the remaining term of this Lease (assuming that this Lease will not have terminated prior to its natural expiration at the end of the final Renewal Term) or ten (10) years, whichever is greater for a rent calculated pursuant to Section 36.3(a) hereof. Notwithstanding anything in the contrary in this Article XXXVI , the transfer of the Successor Assets will be conditioned upon the approval of the applicable regulatory agencies of the transfer of the Gaming Licenses and any other Gaming assets to the Successor Tenant and/or the issuance of new Gaming Licenses as required by applicable Gaming Regulations and the relevant regulatory agencies both with respect to operating and suitability criteria, as the case may be.
(a) Determining Successor Tenant Rent . Landlord and Tenant shall first attempt to agree on the amount of Successor Tenant Rent that it will be assumed Landlord will be entitled to receive for a term of ten (10) years and pursuant to a lease containing substantially the same terms and conditions of this Lease (other than, in the case of a new lease at the end of the final Renewal Term, the terms of this Article XXXVI , which will not

167




be included in such new lease). If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree on the Successor Tenant Rent amount within a reasonable time not to exceed sixty (60) days after receipt of an End of Term Asset Transfer Notice hereunder, then the Successor Tenant Rent shall be set as follows:
i. for the period preceding the last day of the calendar month in which the thirty-fifth (35 th ) anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs, then the annual Successor Tenant Rent shall be an amount equal to the annual Rent that would have accrued under the terms of this Lease for such period (assuming the Lease will have not been terminated prior to its natural expiration); and
ii. for the period following the last day of the calendar month in which the thirty-fifth (35 th ) anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs, then the Successor Tenant Rent shall be calculated in the same manner as Rent is calculated under this Lease (but in no event will the Rent be less than the Rent that would otherwise be payable under this Lease), provided, that for any period following the last day of the calendar month in which the thirty-fifth (35 th ) anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs, the Rent shall be a per annum amount equal to the sum of (A) the amount of the Base Rent hereunder during the Lease Year in which the Expiration Date occurs, multiplied by the Escalator, and increased on each anniversary of the Expiration Date to be equal to the Rent payable for the immediately preceding year, multiplied by the Escalator, plus (B) the amount of the Variable Rent hereunder during the Lease Year in which the Expiration Date occurs, subject to a reset at the end of the first subsequent five year period consistent with the Variable Rent adjustments performed under this Lease at the commencement of each Renewal Period, plus (C) the amount of the Convention Center Rent hereunder during the Lease Year in which the Expiration Date occurs, multiplied by one and one hundredths (1.01), and increased on each anniversary of the Expiration Date to be equal to the Convention Center Rent payable for the immediately preceding year, multiplied by one and one hundredths (1.01).

(b) Designating Potential Successor Tenants . Landlord will select one and Tenant will select three (for a total of up to four) potential Qualified Successor Tenants prepared to lease the Facility for the Successor Tenant Rent, each of whom must meet the criteria established for a Qualified Transferee (and none of whom may be Tenant or an Affiliate of Tenant (it being understood and agreed that there shall be no restriction on Landlord or any Affiliate of Landlord from being a potential Qualified Successor Tenant), except in the case of termination of the Lease on the last day of the calendar month in which the thirty-fifth (35 th ) anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs). Landlord and Tenant must designate their proposed Qualified Successor Tenants within ninety (90) days after receipt of an End of Term Asset Transfer Notice hereunder. In the event that Landlord or Tenant fails to designate such party’s allotted number of potential Qualified Successor Tenants, the other party may designate additional potential Qualified Successor Tenants such that the total number of potential Qualified Successor Tenants does not exceed four; provided that, in the event the total number of potential Qualified Successor Tenants is less than four, the transfer process will still proceed as set forth in Section 36.3(c) below.

(c) Determining Successor Assets FMV . Tenant will have a three (3) month period to negotiate an acceptable sales price for Tenant’s Property with one of the Qualified Successor Tenants, which three (3) month period will commence immediately upon the conclusion

168




of the steps set forth above in Section 36.3(b) . If Tenant does not reach an agreement prior to the end of such three (3) month period, Landlord shall conduct an auction for Tenant’s Property among the four potential successor lessees, and Tenant will be required to transfer Tenant’s Property (but excluding the Excluded Assets) to the highest bidder.

36.4      Operation Transfer . Upon designation of a Successor Tenant (pursuant to either Section 36.1 or 36.2 , as the case may be), Tenant shall reasonably cooperate and take all actions reasonably necessary (including providing all reasonable assistance to Successor Tenant) to effectuate the transfer of the Successor Assets and operational control of the Facility to Successor Tenant in an orderly manner so as to minimize to the maximum extent feasible any disruption to the continued orderly operation of the Facility for their respective Primary Intended Use. Concurrently with the transfer of the Successor Assets to Successor Tenant, (i) (other than, in the case of the transfer of the Successor Assets in connection with Landlord’s exercising its right to terminate this Lease or repossess the Leased Property in accordance with the terms of this Lease, such Subleases that Landlord is not obligated to assume) Tenant shall assign (and Successor Tenant shall assume) any then-effective Subleases or other agreements (to the extent such other agreements are assignable) relating to the Leased Property, (ii) Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Leased Property to Landlord and/or Successor Tenant in the condition required under this Lease, and (iii) Tenant shall, and effective as of the Stated Expiration Date or earlier termination of the Term hereby does, transfer and assign to Landlord or any Successor Tenant (as directed by Landlord) a complete copy of all Property Specific Guest Data, in standard CSV format or other format reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, collected or held by, or otherwise in possession or control of, and/or owned by, Affiliated manager and/or Tenant, current as of the transition completion date, following which such transfer and assignment, both the Successor Tenant and Tenant (or Affiliated manager, to the extent such Property Specific Guest Data was owned by affiliated Manager instead of Tenant prior to such transfer) shall each own one hundred percent (100%) of their respective copy of the Property Specific Guest Data, free and clear and without any restrictions whatsoever; provided that use of such transferred and assigned Property Specific Guest Data shall be in compliance with Applicable Law. Notwithstanding the expiration of the Term and anything to the contrary herein, to the extent that this Article XXXVI applies, unless Landlord consents to the contrary, until such time that Tenant transfers the Successor Assets and operational control of the Facility to a Successor Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this Article XXXVI , Tenant shall (or shall cause its Subsidiaries to) continue to (and Landlord shall permit Tenant to maintain possession of the Leased Property to the extent necessary to) operate the Facility in accordance with the applicable terms of this Lease and the course and manner in which Tenant (or its Subsidiaries) has operated the Facility prior to the end of the Term (including, but not limited to, the payment of Rent hereunder). Concurrently with the transfer of the Successor Assets to Successor Tenant, Landlord and Successor Tenant shall execute a new Lease in accordance with the terms as set forth in the final clause of the first sentence of Section 36.3 hereof.

(b)    Anything contained in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall not without Landlord’s advance written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) (i) sublet, assign or enter into a management arrangement for the Leased Property on any basis such that the rental or other amounts to be paid by the subtenant, assignee or manager thereunder would be based, in whole or in part, on either (x) the income or profits derived by the business activities of the subtenant, assignee or manager or (y) any other formula such that any portion of any amount received by Landlord could reasonably be expected to cause any portion of the amounts to fail to qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto; (ii) furnish or render any services to the subtenant, assignee or manager or manage or operate the Leased Property so subleased, assigned or managed; (iii) sublet, assign or enter into a management arrangement for the Leased Property to any Person (other than a “taxable REIT subsidiary” (within the meaning of Section 856(l) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto) of Landlord REIT) in which Tenant, Landlord or PropCo owns an interest, directly or indirectly (by applying constructive ownership rules set forth in Section 856(d)(5) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto); or (iv) sublet, assign or enter into a management arrangement for the Leased Property in any other manner which could reasonably be expected to cause any portion of the amounts received by Landlord pursuant to this Lease or any Sublease to fail to qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto, or which could cause any other income of Landlord to fail to qualify as income described in Section 856(c)(2) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto.

Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”), provides that a transferee of a United States real property interest (“ USRPI ”) must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. For U.S. tax purposes (including Section 1445 of the Code), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity. For U.S. tax purposes, (i) Grantor is an entity that is disregarded as separate from its sole member, VICI Properties 1 LLC; (ii) VICI Properties 1 LLC is an entity that is disregarded as separate from its sole member, VICI Properties L.P.; and (iii) VICI Properties L.P. is an entity that is disregarded as separate from VICI Properties Inc. (“ Member ”). Therefore, Member is treated as the transferor of the property for U.S. tax purposes. To inform Grantee that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of an ownership interest in U.S. real property by Member, the undersigned hereby certifies the following:

Member, a Maryland corporation, indirectly owns 100% of the equity of Grantor, which is a disregarded entity;
Member is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust or foreign estate (as such terms are defined in the Code and the Treasury Regulations);

Member understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by Grantee and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.

Under penalties of perjury, the undersigned declares that he has examined this certification and to the best of his knowledge and belief, it is true, correct and complete, and he further declares that he has authority to sign this document on behalf of Grantor in the capacity set forth below.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, without the consent of any Purchaser reflected on Schedule 1 on the date of this Agreement (the “ Initial Committing Purchasers ”), for a period of seven (7) Business Days following the date of this Agreement (the “ Update Period ”), amend Schedule 1 to reflect additional Purchasers accepted by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion (“ New Committing Purchasers ”); provided that the total Subscription Amounts of all Purchasers shall not exceed $1,000,000,000.00; provided further that the Subscription Amount for each Initial Committing Purchaser shall not exceed or be less than each such Initial Committing Purchaser’s initial Subscription Amount without obtaining such Initial Committing Purchaser’s written consent. In addition, if the Company is able to sell all of the Shares at a price per Share that is at least $0.50 greater than the price per Share set forth on Schedule 1 on the date of this Agreement prior to the end of the Update Period, then the Company may, in its sole discretion, amend Schedule 1 to this Agreement to reflect such new price per Share and such New Committing Purchasers that will purchase all (but not less than all) of the Shares at such higher price; provided , that in such event, each Initial Committing Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, elect to purchase up to 50% of its initial allocation of Shares at such higher price; provided further that if any Initial Committing Purchaser does not so elect by the date that is one (1) Business Day after the end of the Update Period, each such Initial Committing Purchaser’s initial allocation of Shares shall be reduced to 0%. At 5:00 p.m. on the date that is the last day of the Update Period, the Company shall, if applicable, update Schedule 1 to reflect the foregoing and such New Committing Purchasers shall deliver their signature pages and become parties to this Agreement. Furthermore, if any Purchaser (the “ Defaulting Purchaser ”) fails to fund its Subscription Amount when due under this Agreement (the “ Closing Date Funding Date ”) or the Escrow Agreement (the “ Escrow Funding Date ”), as applicable (the “ Available Amount ”), then the Company shall promptly notify the Initial Committing Purchasers (other than the Defaulting Purchaser, if the Defaulting Purchaser is an Initial Committing Purchaser) and each of the Initial Committing Purchasers (other than the Defaulting Purchaser, if the Defaulting Purchaser is an Initial Committing Purchaser) shall have the right to acquire its pro rata share of the Available Amount within (x) two hours after notice of such right with respect to a Closing Date Funding Date or (y) one (1) Business Day after notice of such right with respect to an Escrow Funding Date; and with respect to any portion of the Available Amount that is not acquired by such Initial Committing Purchasers, the Company may allocate such portion to one or more Purchasers in its sole discretion (and the Company may amend Schedule 1 to reflect the foregoing as applicable). For the avoidance of doubt, no Initial Committing Purchaser’s initial Subscription Amount shall be increased without obtaining any such Initial Committing Purchaser’s written consent.

10


(i)      Transfer Restrictions; Legends . The Purchaser understands that (i) the Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as they have not been registered under the Securities Act and are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances; (ii) the Shares are being offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from registration, based in part upon the Company’s reliance upon the statements and representations made by the Purchasers in this Agreement, and that the Shares must be held by the Purchaser indefinitely, and that the Purchaser must, therefore, bear the economic risk of such investment indefinitely, unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Securities Act or is exempt from such registration; (iii) in addition to any other applicable legends (including without limitation a statement that the Company will furnish a full statement about certain restrictions on ownership and transferability to a holder of Company Common Stock on request therefrom and without charge thereto), the Shares will be subject to the following legend until the earlier of (1) such date as the Shares have been registered for resale by the Purchaser or (2) the date the Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 under the Securities Act:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATES.

Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents.

(i)      Registration Statement on behalf of the Company . If at any time the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement or conduct an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, other than a Shelf Registration pursuant to Section 2(a) or a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2(b) , in

- 14 -





connection with an underwritten Public Offering of Capital Stock (other than registrations on Form S-8 or Form S-4) (a “ Piggyback Offering ”), and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of Registrable Securities, the Company shall give prompt written notice (the “ Piggyback Notice ”) to all Holders that have requested to receive such notices (collectively, the “ Piggyback Eligible Holders ”) of the Company’s intention to conduct such underwritten Public Offering; provided that, in the case of an Underwritten Shelf Takedown from an existing effective shelf registration statement, the Company shall not be required to provide a Piggyback Notice or include any Registrable Securities in such Public Offering unless either (i) such registration statement with respect to which the Company is conducting an Underwritten Shelf Takedown may be used for the registration and offering of Registrable Securities without the need to file a post-effective amendment thereto, (ii) the Company is a WKSI eligible to file an automatically effective registration statement or automatically effective post-effective amendment or (iii) if the Company is not a WKSI, the need to file any such post-effective amendment or new registration statement would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the timing of the Company’s primary offering, in the good faith determination of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Piggyback Notice shall be given, (i) in the case of a Piggyback Offering that is an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, not earlier than ten (10) Business Days and not less than five (5) Business Days, in each case under this clause (i), prior to the expected date of commencement of marketing efforts for such Underwritten Shelf Takedown; or (ii) in the case of any other Piggyback Registration, not less than five (5) Business Days after the public filing of such Registration Statement. The Piggyback Notice shall offer the Piggyback Eligible Holders the opportunity to include for registration in such Piggyback Offering the number of Registrable Securities of the same class and series as those proposed to be registered as they may request, subject to Section 2(c)(ii) (a “ Piggyback Registration ”).

If a Piggyback Eligible Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any Piggyback Offering thereafter filed by the Company, such Piggyback Eligible Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent Piggyback Offerings or Registration Statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of Registrable Securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register pursuant to the Piggyback Requests, to the extent required to permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities so requested to be registered.
(ii)      Priority of Registration . If the managing underwriter or managing underwriters of such Piggyback Offering advise the Company and the Piggyback Eligible Holders that, in their reasonable view the amount of securities requested to be included in such registration (including Registrable Securities requested by the Piggyback Eligible Holders to be included in such offering and any securities that the Company or any other Person proposes to be included that

- 15 -





are not Registrable Securities) exceeds the Maximum Offering Size (which, for the purposes of a Piggyback Registration relating to a primary offering of the Company’s Capital Stock, shall be within a price range acceptable to the Company), then the Company shall so advise all Piggyback Eligible Holders with Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such Piggyback Registration, and shall include in such offering the number which can be so sold in the following order of priority, up to the Maximum Offering Size: (A) first, (x) if the Piggyback Registration includes a primary offering of the Company’s Capital Stock, such securities that the Company proposes to sell up to the Maximum Offering Size, or (y) if the Piggyback Registration is an offering at the demand of the holders of Other Registrable Securities, the securities that such holders propose to sell and thereafter any securities proposed to be offered by the Company, in each case up to the Maximum Offering Size, and (B) second, the Company Common Stock constituting Registrable Securities or Other Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration by each Piggyback Eligible Holder and any holder of Other Registrable Securities with rights to participate in such offering, allocated, if necessary for the offering not to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, pro rata on the basis of the amount of Company Common Stock or other Capital Stock constituting Registrable Securities and Other Registrable Securities requested in aggregate to be included therein. All Piggyback Eligible Holders requesting to be included in the Piggyback Registration must sell their Registrable Securities to the underwriters selected as provided in Section 2(c)(iv) on the same terms and conditions as apply to the Company.
(iii)      Withdrawal from Registration . The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2(c) , whether or not any Piggyback Eligible Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such Registration Statement, without prejudice, however, to the right of the Holders to request that such registration be effected as a registration under Section 2(b) to the extent permitted thereunder and subject to the terms set forth therein. The Registration Expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 5 hereof. Any Holder that has elected to include Registrable Securities in a Piggyback Offering may elect to withdraw such Holder’s Registrable Securities at any time prior to the Business Day prior to the execution of the underwriting agreement entered into in connection therewith.
(iv)      Selection of Bankers and Counsel . If a Piggyback Registration pursuant to this Section 2(c) involves an underwritten Public Offering, the Company shall have the right to (A) determine the plan of distribution, including the price at which the Registrable Securities are to be sold and the underwriting commissions, discounts and fees and (B) select the investment banker or bankers and managers to administer the Public Offering, including the lead managing underwriter or underwriters, each of which shall be a nationally recognized investment bank.

(v)      Effect of Piggyback Registration . No registration effected under this Section 2(c) shall relieve the Company of its obligations to effect any registration of the offer and sale of Registrable Securities under Section 2(a) or Section 2(b) hereof, and no registration effected pursuant to this Section 2(c) shall be deemed to have been effected pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(b) hereof.

The Company shall give written notice to the Holders of Registrable Securities registered under or pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement or any Demand Registration with respect to its declaration of a Suspension Period and of the expiration of the relevant Suspension Period (a “ Suspension Notice ”). If the filing of any Demand Registration is suspended or an Underwritten Shelf Takedown is delayed pursuant to this Section 2(e) , once the Suspension Period ends, the Qualified Holders may request a new Demand

- 17 -





Registration or a new Underwritten Shelf Takedown (and such request shall not be counted as an additional Underwritten Shelf Takedown or Demand Registration for purposes of either Section 2(a)(iv) or Section 2(b)(i) ). The Company shall not include any material non-public information in the Suspension Notice and or otherwise provide such information to a Holder unless specifically requested by a Holder in writing. A Holder shall not effect any sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement at any time after it has received a Suspension Notice from the Company and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice. Holders may recommence effecting sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement following further written notice from the Company to such effect (an “ End of Suspension Notice ”) from the Company, which End of Suspension Notice shall be given by the Company to the Holders with Registrable Securities included on any suspended Registration Statement and Counsel to the Holders, if any, promptly (but in no event later than two Business Days) following the conclusion of any Suspension Event. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if the Company gives a Suspension Notice with respect to any Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2(e), the Company agrees that it shall (i) extend the period which such Registration Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from the date of receipt by the Holders of the Suspension Notice to and including the date of receipt by the Holders of the End of Suspension Notice; and (ii) provide copies of any supplemented or amended prospectus necessary to resume sales, if requested by any Holder; provided that such period of time shall not be extended beyond the date that there are no longer Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement.
(f)      Required Information . The Company may require each Holder of Registrable Securities as to which any Registration Statement is being filed or sale is being effected to furnish to the Company such information regarding the distribution of such securities and such other information relating to such Holder and its ownership of Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing ( provided that such information shall be used only in connection with such registration), and the Company may exclude from such registration or sale the Registrable Securities of any such Holder who fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request or who does not consent to the inclusion in a Registration Statement or Prospectus related to such registration or sale of such information related to such Holder that is required by the rules and regulations of the Commission. Each Holder agrees to furnish such information to the Company and to cooperate with the Company as reasonably necessary to enable the Company to comply with the provisions of this Agreement.
(g)      Other Registration Rights Agreements . The Company represents and warrants to each Holder that, as of the date of this Agreement, it has not entered into any agreement with respect to any of its securities granting any registration rights to any Person with respect to the Registrable Securities. The Company will not enter into on or after the date of this Agreement, unless this Agreement is modified or waived as provided in Section 10(c) , any agreement that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders with respect to Registrable Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof in any material respect. Other than as set forth in this Agreement, if the Company enters into any agreement that would allow any holder of Company Common Stock or other Capital Stock of the Company to include such Capital Stock in any Registration Statement of the Company on a basis more favorable than the rights of the Holders under this Agreement (as determined in good faith by the Company), this Agreement shall

- 18 -





be automatically amended to provide for such more favorable terms and, to the extent the Company enters into any agreement that would allow any holder of Company Common Stock or other Capital Stock of the Company to include such Capital Stock in any Registration Statement or Underwritten Shelf Takedown under Section 2(a) or 2(b) of this Agreement, such other agreement shall similarly provide for the Holders to have reciprocal rights with respect to any demand registrations or underwritten offerings thereunder.
(h)      Cessation of Registration Rights . All registration rights granted under this Section 2 shall continue to be applicable with respect to any Holder until such time as the Holder no longer holds any Registrable Securities.
(i)      Confidentiality . Each Holder agrees that such Holder shall treat as confidential the receipt of a Demand Notice, Shelf Takedown Notice or Piggyback Notice and shall not disclose or use the information contained in any such notice without the prior written consent of the Company until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes available to the public generally, other than as a result of disclosure by the Holder in breach of the terms of this Agreement; provided that no Holder will be entitled to receive any such notices (and shall not be eligible to participate in any offering related thereto, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement) unless a Holder has provided written notice to the Company in the manner specified in Section 10 requesting to receive such notices.
3. [Reserved]

- 29 -





counsel in each relevant jurisdiction), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (A) the Indemnified Person has reasonably concluded (based upon advice of its counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other Indemnified Persons that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, or (B) in the reasonable judgment of any such Indemnified Person (based upon advice of its counsel) a conflict of interest may exist between such Indemnified Person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims; (C) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; (D) the indemnifying party shall authorize the Indemnified Person to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party; or (E) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim within a reasonable time after receipt of notice of such claim from the Indemnified Person and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person.

If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the indemnifying

- 30 -





party on the one hand and the Indemnified Person on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party on the one hand or the Indemnified Person on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
(e)      The Parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders of Registrable Securities or any agents or underwriters or all of them were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in Section 8(d) .

(f)      Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8(d) , no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(g)      For purposes of Section 8(d) , each Person who controls any Holder, agent or underwriter (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and each director, officer, employee and agent of any such Holder, agent or underwriter, shall have the same rights to contribution as such Holder, agent or underwriter, and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and each officer and director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this Section 8(d) .
(h)      The provisions of this Section 8 will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder or the Company or any of the officers, directors or controlling Persons referred to in this Section 8 hereof, and will survive the transfer of Registrable Securities.
(i)      The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

- 31 -





performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate and shall waive any requirement for the posting of a bond.
(b)      Discontinued Disposition . Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of Section 4(d) or the occurrence of a Suspension Period, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemental Prospectus or amended Registration Statement or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this Section 10(b) . In the event the Company shall give any such notice, the period during which the applicable Registration Statement is required to be maintained effective shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement either receives the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus or is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed.
(c)      Amendments . This Agreement may be amended, modified, extended or terminated, and the provisions hereof may be waived, only with (i) the consent of the Company and (ii) the affirmative vote of Holders of a Majority of Registrable Securities; provided that in no event shall the obligations of any Holder of Registrable Securities be increased or the rights of any Holder be adversely affected (without similarly increasing or adversely affecting the rights of all Holders), except with the written consent of such Holder; and provided further , any provision that is for the express benefit of only Qualified Holders shall be amended only with the consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities held by all Qualified Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders of Registrable Securities whose securities are being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders of Registrable Securities may be given by holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold by such Holders pursuant to such Registration Statement.
(d)      Waivers . No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any Party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.
(e)      Termination and Effect of Termination . This Agreement shall terminate with respect to each Holder when such Holder no longer holds any Registrable Securities and will

- 32 -





terminate in full when no Holder holds any Registrable Securities, except for the provisions of Section 8 , which shall survive any such termination. No termination under this Agreement shall relieve any Person of liability for breach or Registration Expenses incurred prior to termination. In the event this Agreement is terminated, each Person entitled to indemnification rights pursuant to Section 8 shall retain such indemnification rights with respect to any matter that (i) may be an indemnified liability thereunder and (ii) occurred prior to such termination.

EXHIBIT B
Form of Plan of Distribution 1  
The selling stockholders, or their pledgees, donees, transferees, or any of their successors in interest selling shares received from a named selling stockholder as a gift, partnership distribution or other permitted transfer after the date of the applicable prospectus (all of whom may be selling stockholders), may sell some or all of the securities covered by this prospectus from time to time on any stock exchange or automated interdealer quotation system on which our common stock is listed, in the over-the-counter market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, at fixed prices that may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at prices otherwise negotiated. The selling stockholders may sell the securities by one or more of the following methods, without limitation:
block trades in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by the broker or dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus;
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of any stock exchange on which our common stock is listed;
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchases;
privately negotiated transactions;
short sales, either directly or with a broker-dealer or affiliate thereof;
through the writing of options on the common stock, whether or not the options are listed on an options exchange;
through loans or pledges of the common stock to a broker-dealer or an affiliate thereof;
by entering into transactions with third parties who may (or may cause others to) issue securities convertible or exchangeable into, or the return of which is derived in whole or in part from the value of, our common stock;
through the distribution by any selling stockholder to its partners, members or stockholders;
one or more underwritten offerings on a firm commitment or best efforts basis; and
any combination of any of these methods of sale.

1 The Plan of Distribution will be appropriately modified in the event than any securities other than common stock are offered for distribution in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.


B-1




For example, the selling stockholders may engage brokers and dealers, and any brokers or dealers may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate in effecting sales of our common stock. These brokers, dealers or underwriters may act as principals, or as an agent of a selling stockholder. Broker-dealers may agree with a selling stockholder to sell a specified number of shares of our common stock or preferred stock at a stipulated price per share. If the broker-dealer is unable to sell the common stock acting as agent for a selling stockholder, it may purchase as principal any unsold securities at the stipulated price. Broker-dealers who acquire common stock as principals may thereafter resell the common stock from time to time in transactions on any stock exchange or automated interdealer quotation system on which the common stock is then listed, at prices and on terms then prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions. Broker-dealers may use block transactions and sales to and through broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above.
A selling stockholder may also enter into hedging and/or monetization transactions. For example, a selling stockholder may:
enter into transactions with a broker-dealer or affiliate of a broker-dealer or other third party in connection with which that other party will become a selling stockholder and engage in short sales of our common stock under this prospectus, in which case the other party may use shares of our common stock received from the selling stockholder to close out any short position;
sell short our common stock under this prospectus and use shares of our common stock held by the selling stockholder to close out any short position;
enter into options, forwards or other transactions that require the selling stockholder to deliver, in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act, shares of our common stock to a broker-dealer or an affiliate of a broker-dealer or other third party who may then become a selling stockholder and publicly resell or otherwise transfer shares of our common stock under this prospectus;
loan or pledge shares of our common stock to a broker-dealer or affiliate of a broker-dealer or other third party who may then become a selling stockholder and sell the loaned shares or, in an event of default in the case of a pledge, become a selling stockholder and sell the pledged shares, under this prospectus. As and when a selling stockholder takes such actions, the number of securities offered under this prospectus on behalf of such selling stockholder will decrease. The plan of distribution for that selling stockholder’s common stock will otherwise remain unchanged; or
enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by the selling stockholder or borrowed from the selling stockholder or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of common stock, and may use securities received from the selling stockholder in settlement of those derivatives to close out any

    B-2




related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions may be an underwriter and, if applicable, will be identified as such in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment).
The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
We do not know of any arrangements by the selling stockholders for the sale of our common stock.
To the extent required under the Securities Act, the aggregate amount of selling stockholders’ common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, the names of any agents, brokers, dealers or underwriters and any applicable commission with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement. Any underwriters, dealers, brokers or agents participating in the distribution of the common stock may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions, commissions or fees from a selling stockholder and/or purchasers of selling stockholders’ common stock for whom they may act (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions).
The selling stockholders and any underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents that participate in the distribution of the common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any discounts, concessions, commissions or fees received by them and any profit on the resale of the common stock sold by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions.
The selling stockholders and other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the common stock will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M. This regulation may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the common stock by the selling stockholders and any other person. The anti-manipulation rules under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of common stock in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates. Furthermore, Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the particular common stock being distributed for a period of up to five business days before the distribution. These restrictions may affect the marketability of the common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the common stock.
 To the extent permitted by applicable law, this plan of distribution may be modified in a prospectus supplement or otherwise.
We agreed to register the common stock under the Securities Act and to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part effective for a specified period of time. We have also agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. The selling stockholders have agreed to indemnify us in certain circumstances against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

    B-3




We will not receive any proceeds from sales of any common stock by the selling stockholders.
We cannot assure you that the selling stockholders will sell all or any portion of the common stock offered hereby. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the securities offered hereby.



    B-4




EXHIBIT C
Form of Notice and Holder Questionnaire
The undersigned beneficial holder of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, which shares the undersigned believes are Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below)), understands that the Company intends to file or has filed with the Commission a registration statement (the “ Shelf Registration Statement ”) on Form S-11 for the registration and resale under Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), of the Registrable Securities, in accordance with the terms of the registration rights agreement (the “ Registration Rights Agreement ”), among the Company and the Holders named therein. A copy of the Registration Rights Agreement is available from the Company upon request at the address set forth below. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Registration Rights Agreement.
Each beneficial holder of Registrable Securities (each a “ beneficial owner ”) is entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement. In order to sell, or otherwise dispose of, any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, a beneficial owner of Registrable Securities will be required to be named as a selling securityholder in the related prospectus, deliver a prospectus to purchasers of Registrable Securities (to the extent required by applicable law) and be bound by those provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement applicable to such beneficial owner (including certain indemnification provisions as described below). Beneficial owners that do not (i) complete this Notice and Questionnaire and (ii) execute a Joinder in the Form attached as Exhibit A of the Registration Rights Agreement (if required) and deliver both documents to the Company as provided below will not be named as selling securityholders in the prospectus and, therefore, will not be permitted to sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement.
Further, the right of a beneficial owner to receive notices of and participate in underwritten offerings, exercise piggyback rights or include shares pursuant to the demand rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement is conditioned upon an affirmative election to receive such notices. A beneficial owner may provide such notice pursuant to this Notice and Questionnaire by making the elections in Question 6 or by providing written notice in the manner contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement.
Certain legal consequences arise from being named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement and the related prospectus. Accordingly, holders and beneficial owners of Registrable Securities are advised to consult their own securities legal counsel regarding the consequences of being named or not being named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement and the related prospectus.
NOTICE
